to focus on other kinds of music. special occasion, maybe, just like elton. he said last night he will probably do the odd gig but no more touring with rock and roll. everything comes to an end sooner or later. in weather, it is set to get warmer and more humid but this weekend comes a chance of storms. the full forecast coming up. it's friday, 9th ofjune. our main story. donald trump has been charged over his handling of classified documents after he left the white house. it is the second indictment of mr trump, and the first ever federal charge of a former president. mr trump said he was innocent and had been summoned to appear in court on tuesday. our washington correspondent jessica parker reports. the bombshell post on social media that set headlines running. earlier this evening, the news came from the defendant

himself — donald trump told his millions of followers on truth social that he was going to be indicted. a sealed indictment as charged the former president — of the united states in what is reportedly a seven—count indictment. breaking news tonight, the federal indictment of donald trump. - the first time in american history a former president has _ faced federal charges. donald trump declaring he had been indicted over what he calls the boxes hoax. it was all a big hoax. you had two impeachments and they lost and we won. and we had tremendous support. but that was a hoax and a scam. so i just want to tell you i'm an innocent man, i did nothing wrong. donald trump's mar—a—lago resort in florida. this case is about the potential mishandling of classified files after he left office. thousands of documents were seized at his home last year. some of them were marked as classified. while the indictment hasn't been published, mr trump's lawyers believe

the former president faces obstruction, false statement and espionage act charges. he is due in court in miami on tuesday. you can expect a flurry of activity in the coming days. it sounds like donald trump may have to surrender himself to federal court next week, down in miami. but after that, you will see a lull. there will be the occasional headline, maybe some information that comes out, but it most likely will be well into next year, if this case goes to trial, that you will see a jury convened and a trial kicked off. so, yeah, that could be right in the middle of the presidential campaign season. donald trump, remember, wants to be president again. he has a base of fervent supporters. polls suggest he is currently leading the race to secure the republican nomination. that is after already being indicted in a separate case earlier this year in which he also denies wrongdoing. the first former president to be charged with a crime while he fights for re—election.

this is not politics as usual, but, with donald trump, it never is. jessica parker, bbc news, in washington. a 15—year—old boy who was riding an electric bike has died after crashing into a parked ambulance in salford. police said the teenager was being followed by traffic officers until their vehicles were blocked by bollards. the independent office for police conduct is investigating the incident, as nick garnett reports. flowers and cards laid, candles lit in memory of the 15—year—old. a sombre mood in salford. yesterday afternoon, greater manchester police said a teenager was riding along a side road, being followed by a police patrol car. the bollards the bike rode through to cross the busy main road. the police were not able to follow. greater manchester police say shortly afterwards, there was a collision between the electric bike and an ambulance.

north west ambulance service has told the bbc the ambulance was stationary at the time. despite being treated by the paramedics who were there, the teenager died in hospital. last month, two teenage boys, harvey evans and kyrees sullivan, were killed on their electric bike in cardiff after being followed by a police van. their deaths sparked a riot in the area. greater manchester police has notified the independent office for police conduct, who will launch a formal investigation today. north of england reporter rowan bridge is at the scene now. clearly a lot of questions overjust what happened. clearly a lot of questions over “ust what happened.i clearly a lot of questions over 'ust what ha ened. , , what happened. yes. the independent office for police _ what happened. yes. the independent office for police conduct _ what happened. yes. the independent office for police conduct has _ what happened. yes. the independent office for police conduct has begun - office for police conduct has begun an investigation. they had investigators at the scene last night. they say the investigation is at a preliminary stage and will release more information when they can. still not clear the circumstances of what happened other

than there was a collision between the 15—year—old on a ebike and ambulance yesterday afternoon having been followed by police officers. exactly how fast the bike was going, where the police officers were, the circumstances of the crash, all are still to be examined. that is not clear at the moment. the scene at the moment, there are candles, flowers, cards, and a large white banner marking the spot where the incident happened yesterday. cards have messages like, your loved one was someone special, someone who truly lived, laughed, loved. on the banner, notes written by the teenager's friends saying things like, rip brother, fly high. forever 15. there are parallels here with the incident in cardiff where two teenagers died after being followed

by police, on and ebike. that incident led to rioting in the streets but it is more of a sombre atmosphere here. and very quiet here this morning. a very different scene from cardiff in the aftermath of that. four young children, including a british child, who were stabbed in a playground in annecy in eastern france, are now in a stable condition. police have confirmed the syrian man who carried out the attack is in custody. vincent mcaviney has more. yesterday in annecy, playing toddlers were turned into targets. the safety of a sunny park shattered by a knife attack. this video gives a glimpse of the horror — the suspect running around the slides and climbing frames, a knife clearly visible in his hand. we can't show you what happened next. four children, one of them british, were stabbed in quick succession. some attacked in their prams.

local authorities have told the bbc that all four children are now in a stable condition. the suspect, said to be a syrian christian, was chased through the lakeside tourist spot by witnesses before police detained and arrested him. i see a mother with the children on the floor. the children are full of blood and the mother is crying. the suspect had refugee status in sweden and entered france legally last autumn. the french news agency afp is reporting that he was recently divorced, with a young child of his own, and had been living in a church. translation: we are deeply shaken by this odious - and indescribable act. when children are involved, people are touched to the core, and today our whole nation is in shock.

france's national assembly stopped to hold a minute's silence yesterday when the news broke. the prosecutor has said they're not treating this as terrorism at the moment. and the man was not known to intelligence services. he's not believed to have any history of mental illness. so the question across france now is why anyone would have carried out such a brutal attack on those so young. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. ukrainian attacks in the key southern zaporizhzhia region have continued overnight, with russian officials reporting of heavy fighting. experts believe the focus of ukraine's long—awaited counter—offensive will be in the area. diplomatic correspondent paul adams joins us from kyiv. paul — what more do we know? good morning. you have two things

going on at once. the government is still massively preoccupied with the fallout from tuesday's explosion that destroyed the dam. there is still a dire situation along the shores of the dnipro river particularly in the city of kherson where there are people still being rescued from their homes and where the government is worried about how to get drinking water notjust there but to communities sometime some distance from the river that depended heavily on the reservoir for supplies. depended heavily on the reservoir forsupplies. president zelensky depended heavily on the reservoir for supplies. president zelensky has a war to fight and this week we have seen day after day, signs of that long awaited counteroffensive beginning to ramp up. it is still at an early stage but in two areas there is intense fighting. one around the city of bakhmut in the east, which has been the scene of heavy fighting for ten months. but

as you mentioned, to the south of the city of zaporizhzhia, the area of the front line where most people think the ukrainians will try to make a breakthrough as they try to push forces down towards the sea, cutting russian forces in two, something that would have a major impact on the course of the war. that is the area to watch closely. it is not clear how much progress has been made but in some areas, we think, the ukrainians may have broken through russian lines just a little way. broken through russian lines 'ust a little wa . . ., broken through russian lines 'ust a littlewa. . ., , prime minister rishi sunak and president biden have announced a new partnership between the us and the uk following talks at the white house. it's called the atlantic declaration, and mr sunak said the closer links will bolster economic security in response to threats from china and russia. millions of people in the united states are being urged to wear facemasks when outdoors after areas were blanketed by thick

smoke from canada's wildfires. firefighters are tackling more than 400 fires across the country, which has pushed smoke into cities like washington dc, philadelphia and new york, sparking air quality alerts. people have been warned to avoid outdoor activity. fans are descending on istanbul as manchester city prepare to take on inter milan in the final of the champions league. city are hoping to make history by achieving three trophies in one season. john watson is in istanbul. good morning, this is historic in terms of an english team doing this for the first time since manchester united in the late 905. how hopeful is manchester city of making it? good morning from istanbul. we have

seen some manchester city 5hirt5 already and we expect what seen some manchester city shirts already and we expect what is a relatively calm scene at the moment to build as thousands of manchester city supporters descend on the square. i think fans will be arriving perhaps expecting more than they are hopeful. they did make the final two years ago. they hope this will be the moment they can finally get their hands on the trophy. they will be gathering in the square close to the bars and restaurants in the heart of istanbul. they will make their way to the designated fan park to the south of the city where the trophy will be on display before making its way to the stadium tomorrow ahead of the final. the manchester city players and staff landed here yesterday. they will hold their final training session at the stadium ahead of the game. pep

guardiola and the player, one player facing the media before. supporters will be hoping, expectant that at long last they can win the champions league trophy that has evaded them. thank you. back with you throughout the morning. hazy skies in istanbul. i think we might be winning. it will be warmer here. 2a degrees in istanbul the next couple of days, we could hit 30 in spots. good morning. things are changing. we have wind coming from a south—easterly direction. some sunshine around, more in eastern areas there recently and as humidity bills, storms will break out into the weekend. still a lot of loan cloud across central and eastern

areas. the first sign of storms, showers towards the channel islands and southwest. increasing sunshine to take us into the afternoon. a stiff breeze from an easterly direction. cloud on the coast from lincolnshire to eastern scotland, it will be cool here. temperatures across the west climbing under blue skies. 2a degrees in parts of cumbria. furthersouth, skies. 2a degrees in parts of cumbria. further south, warmer than it has been and could get up to 27. the chance of storms in the channel islands and isolated showers, may be thunder across southern england, which will drift to southern wales. most will stay dry. the chance of showers only towards the far south—west tonight. more cloud in eastern areas into tomorrow morning. tonight, temperatures creeping up in southern parts. as we head into

saturday, more cloud in eastern areas to begin. a lot of sunshine coming through for the majority. as temperatures climb, showers and storms breaking out in parts of england and wales and later northern ireland and western scotland. where you see them, they will be torrential. temperatures widely into the mid 205 if not 305. more later. it's a stomach—churning sight we've seen far too many times over the past year. raw sewage being pumped directly into our rivers and seas. it's an issue many campaigners have taken into their own hands. last year, wejoined citizen scientists taking samples around chichester and langstone harbours. their results are now in, and have revealed a cocktail of drugs in the water. environment correspondent jonah fisher reports. the natural harbours of langstone and chichester on england's south coast. their sheltered waters an important breeding ground for birds and a popular haul—out spot

for relaxing seals. but this is also where raw sewage from portsmouth is regularly dumped, and locals say they think the water quality has been getting worse. we'd had a lot more cases of people saying they'd gone into the water and they'd had stomach upsets and ear issues. we just thought something's not quite right here. we're out on langstone harbour with bianca and rob. they were so worried about the state of the water that they formed a group of residents to take samples and then send them off to be tested at a university laboratory. in the last few years, we've seen more and more initiatives like this one spring up around the country — frustrated people taking matters into their own hands to try to find out a bit more about what's really happening in our rivers and in the sea. all right, i'll do it and then you'll pass me a bottle.

rob and bianca now have their answer from last year's testing. brunel university has sent them a long list of what was found. each of the 22 sites they sampled at had, on average, traces of 19 different chemicals. we found metformin, which is a diabetic drug. we have also found trimethoprim, which is an antibiotic, some nicotine, some cocaine, tramadol and naproxen — and tramadol and naproxen are actually painkillers, as well. so these are all things that are coming out of people. so the way that they're getting into the water must be through the people, through the water system, through the sewage. much of it is likely to have come out of this pipe. this drone footage from 2021 shows it discharging a mix of sewage and rainwater into langstone harbour. you can see an awful lot of wet wipes there, there's some net, all sorts of other stuff there. we took a look at low tide. so far this year, this pipe has flowed for more than 800 hours.

the situation here is that the water companies and the environment agency and others have known for many, many years what's in the water and what's coming out, and they haven't done anything about it. at the mouth of langstone harbour, professor alex ford shows us how the geography of the natural harbours keeps the discharged sewage and chemicals close to shore. it ejects from there and it comes right the way down here, and then the tide turns and it washes straight back up. so these organisms that are permanently there are just living in a cocktail of different chemical wastes. professor ford has been testing marine creatures from the harbours and has found traces of many of the chemicals inside their bodies. it has the same effect on them that it was designed to have on us. so if you give them antidepressants that were designed to affect human behaviour, they affect the behaviour of these organisms. they will swim differently, they'll behave differently, they'll behave with each other differently. how worried should we be? very.

yeah, we've got to take this seriously because there are chemicals harming our wildlife now which we banned 30 years ago, and they're still having effects now. the local water company, southern water, sent us this statement. it says... it said improvements are planned for both langstone and chichester harbours. the environment agency told the bbc that polluting rivers and seas is unacceptable and that it has been holding the water industry to account on a scale never seen before. so do the campaigners feel they're making any progress? i do absolutely, yes. we've really helped to bring this right to the forefront of everybody�*s minds. so we wanted to investigate,

we wanted to inform, and then we wanted to get some improvement. so we won't stop until we've got that improvement. so i think there's a really long road ahead of us. the pressure is now on the water companies to show they can clean up their act. jonah fisher, bbc news, in langstone harbour. jonah will be at langstone harbour around 8.10 with more on this. such interesting work being done. everyone has the same reaction when you see what is happening. let's have a look at today's papers. the metro is one of many which reports on the stabbings in a park in south—east france. the paper also features an image of a man carrying a knife in the playground. the guardian also reports on the attack, but the lead photograph shows the world trade centre in new york shrouded

in smoke. we will be talking about this in a moment. conditions causing real problems. the times carries the news that mortgage deals are being pulled by lenders, in a rush to raise rates. the paper says it's a blow to homeowners. and one of the most—read stories on the bbc news website this morning features a mountaineer who has carried a 100kg barbell on his shoulders up ben nevis. it was to raise money for the my name's doddie foundation, an mnd charity set up by the late former scotland rugby union international doddie weir. that is very impressive. i have learned two things today. i will show you a photograph. can you help this? what do you think it is? something to do with ice. an ice flow. something broken off from the major... what is it? this gives you a sense of the size. they are three seals.

this is a capsized iceberg. it is ice flows. this is off the west coast of the antarctic peninsula. i will put it down because it is a beautiful picture. i have learnt how icebergs capsize. they break from theice icebergs capsize. they break from the ice shelf and flip over. they have lost... their stability. i cannot imagine an iceberg capsizing. on a less important note. fans of et, an amazing film at its time, they probably know the story. during they probably know the story. during the making of the film, drew barrymore, who was six at the time, she thought et was real. offstage, when they were having lunch and

stuff, she would sit with et, as in the puppet, and the controllers working et would always be kept behind—the—scenes so she never knew et was not real. she would bring et lunch. if it was cold, she would say someone get et a scar. this is a story from stephen spielberg but drew barrymore has told the story. they thought it better if she genuinely believed he was a real creature. —— get et a scarf. how lovely of the crew to do that for a six—year—old. lovely. festival season is here. this weekend thousands of music fans will descend on donington park for the sold out download festival. but rising costs for organisers mean some festivals are at risk of not going ahead at all. hannah's at donington park for us this morning.

in amongst the tents, the people camping. it is a great scene. good morning, yes. iwill try camping. it is a great scene. good morning, yes. i will try not to speak too loudly because there are a lot of people asleep not wanting to be woken up. this is probably not the most vibrant time of day to come to a festival. the people who were up to a festival. the people who were up late into the night onlyjust going to bed. some early risers coming around.— going to bed. some early risers coming around. going to bed. some early risers cominu around. ,, ,, _ ,, coming around. supplied by the nhs! thank ou. coming around. supplied by the nhs! thank you. there _ coming around. supplied by the nhs! thank you. there are _ coming around. supplied by the nhs! thank you. there are a _ coming around. supplied by the nhs! thank you. there are a lot _ coming around. supplied by the nhs! thank you. there are a lot of- coming around. supplied by the nhs! thank you. there are a lot of people | thank you. there are a lot of people who want to have fun. we have metallica playing here last night and they play again tomorrow. it was full with queueing on the motorway to get in. all along you have clothing shops, henna tattoos, lots

of things going on. the cost of running events like this has really increased. by 30% since 2019 mainly because of energy costs. we have talked about those before. ticket prices, they have had to go up. around i2% higherfor prices, they have had to go up. around i2% higher for festivals this year. if you wanted to come here the whole weekend you would be looking at £345. that whole weekend you would be looking at £316. that is up from £260 last year. the organisers would point out there is an extra day this year because they are celebrating their 20th anniversary. with concerns about the cost of living and people making difficult decisions, there is a concern that smaller festivals might struggle this year. one organisation representing festival organisers say as many as 20% of

festivals could disappear. this week, the new hideaway festival in essex announced it will not be going ahead. one of 15 festival is not going ahead this year. we will be back taking a look at this site later in the programme and talking to organisers. there might be more people awake by then. we will have to wait and see. studio: it looks like a lovely morning. coming up in the next half hour. # maggie, i couldn't have tried any more. sir rod stewart is heading on tour. it could be fans' last chance to hear him perform his rock and roll anthems. i sat down with him and boy george as they prepare to take to the stage together. that will be an interesting

interview. they are an interesting pair in terms of character.— terms of character. also their voices, terms of character. also their voices. they _ terms of character. also their voices, they complement - terms of character. also theirj voices, they complement one terms of character. also their - voices, they complement one another. time for the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. a heat—health alert has been issued for london for today and the coming weekend. temperatures across the capital are predicted to hit 30 degrees in some places. people are being asked to check on vulnerable friends and family. the rnli says people should be very careful about swimming in open water too. if you're going in the thames or lakes or anything like that, always go with someone and always take a means of calling help. if you do get into difficulty or you see someone is in difficulty, dial 999. swimming buoys and physical caps are also really beneficial. swimming buoys and visible caps are also really beneficial. they help other people see you. for instance boats and all that

other stuff, so you are really, really visible to everyone else. a north london pub says it's facing closure, after their landlord billed them for the full rent owed during the coronavirus lockdown period. the harrison pub near king's cross has been in a dispute over the bill for the height of the pandemic when the pub says it was forced to close. its now fundraisings to mount a legal challenge over the decision. if we go past a certain overdraft which isn't very big, we're closed. we can't pay wages, we can't pay anything, we can't pay our bills. so we have no other pubs to back us up, no other brewery to back us up. in a statment landlord the wellington pub company told us... "we provided extensive support for tenants during the pandemic. thousands of west ham fans lined the streets of east london last night, celebrating the club's european final win. a victory parade saw players and fans turn out after the hammers won their second—ever major european trophy in the europa conference

league final on tuesday night. its their first big european win since lifting the cup winners' cup back in 1965. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello again, good morning. temperatures are set to climb across the capital as we head through the next few days. we will start to draw in some more humid feeling air. there will be a lot of sunshine around but do watch out for the possibility of some heavy, thundery downpours developing at times over the weekend. for today, though, it is looking dry. we've got some areas of cloud around again this morning but the cloud is set to break up a lot more readily than it has done in recent mornings. so there will be plenty of blue sky and sunshine emerging really quite quickly. it's still quite breezy out there with a noticeably brisk north—easterly wind. temperatures are a little higher than they have been, 23 or 2a celsius. the uv levels are high, the pollen levels today are very high.

as we head through this evening and overnight, it could be quite uncomfortable forsleeping, maybe. temperatures won't drop out of the mid—teens in celsius. it's warmer than it has been. tomorrow is another mostly dry day but with the possibility of some heavy, thundery downpours breaking out over times. lots of sunshine, temperatures in the mid to the high 205. that's it, head to our website to see more of those west ham celebrations. we're back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. thick smoke has engulfed cities across the united states as hundreds of wildfires continue to burn in canada. tens of millions of people are being warned to avoid going outdoors, and to wear facemasks if they are. we're joined now by doctor radley horton, from columbia climate school.

welcome to the programme, think you for talking to us. how bad is it, and will facemasks really help? it’s and will facemasks really help? it's been and will facemasks really help? it�*s been really bad. we have had in the new york city region as bad air quality as anywhere else in the world. if you have the 95 masks, it will help a little bit but these are unprecedented conditions. we are talking about incredibly high concentrations of particles that are so tiny that they just penetrate right through our defences and our lungs, they get into stream —— bloodstream and cause extreme problems everyone but especially those with pre—existing health conditions. those with pre-existing health conditions.— those with pre-existing health conditions. ., ~ ., conditions. good morning. we have made reference _ conditions. good morning. we have made reference to _ conditions. good morning. we have made reference to the _ conditions. good morning. we have made reference to the physical - made reference to the physical problems it is causing people, some details of what the details are of what damage it is doing to people's out? i what damage it is doing to people's out? ~' what damage it is doing to people's out? ~ ., what damage it is doing to people's out? ., .,, out? i think across all populations, the risk of stroke _ out? i think across all populations, the risk of stroke goes _ out? i think across all populations, the risk of stroke goes up - out? i think across all populations, the risk of stroke goes up when - the risk of stroke goes up when there is exposure, but then we are

huge replica that has been put up here, both inter milan and city fans will be posing with that. manchester city will be hoping they will get that trophy tomorrow. they will start as favourites against the italian side inter milan, let's not forget city with the success they have enjoyed domestically, fa cup and premier league, and inter milan were 18 points behind the winners of the leak in italy. they will be hoping forjubilant signs of celebration when they return to manchester. we will be hearing about west ham's success. let's get the bbc sports editor looking ahead to the task facing manchester city. this, of course, is the trophy that the abu dhabi owners of city have coveted more than any other since they bought the club some 15 years ago and pumped over £1 billion into making it one of the richest

teams in the world. two years ago they had that opportunity against premier league rivals chelsea, but lost. since then they were beaten in the semifinal last season, but they managed to this time get past their spanish rivals, real madrid, in stunning fashion this year. and that, i think, means that they are red hot favourites against inter milan who can't be taken lightly. after all, they have a better pedigree in this competition. three times winners. the last time in 2010 underjose mourinho. they're strong defensively, struggled for consistency in the italian league but emerged from a group that contained bayern munich and barcelona. they beat their city rivals ac milan in the champions league semifinal. they'll be super motivated, of course, but city will be favourites. this hasn't been a season without controversy, of course, for city. they face those premier league charges over alleged financial rule breaches that they deny. but on the field it's been close

to perfect for guardiola's men and they now stand on the verge of fully completing theirjourney to the very top of european club football's elite. and here in a city that straddles two continents, the sense is that the game finds itself at a crossroads. victory for city raising big questions over who and how anyone can challenge them. the build—up is well under way, ahead of kick—off hpm your time tomorrow. one party which is in full swing at the moment is in east london. there'll be scenes not dissimilar to those in east london last night where west ham's players and staff celebrated their europa conference league final victory over fiorentina on wednesday. thousands of fans lined the streets in east london as the team along with manager david moyes made their way on an open top bus to a reception

at stratford's town hall. it was their first major european trophy in 58 years, incredible scenes with thousands of fans to welcome them home on the streets before a reception at stratford town hall. some big transfer news to bring you this morning. "it's a dream come true and i can't wait". those the words of liverpool's new signing alexis mac allister after he completed a £35 million move from brighton yesterday. he's signed a five year contract. liverpool actually made the champions league final last season when they lost to real madrid in paris. it's been a great season for midfielder mac allister who won the world cup with argentina before helping brighton finish sixth and qualify for next season's europa league. big day at the french open today with a mouthwatering semifinal first up between new spanish star and world number one carlos alcaraz

and novak djkokovic. casper ruud plays alex zverev in the other semi. world number one iga swiatek will play the unseeded karolina muchova in the women's final tomorrow. it was a great performance from the czech player muchova. she saved a match point before winning five games in a row to beat belarusian second seed aryna sabalenka in a marathon three set affair. swiatek won her first set easily enough against the 14th seed from brazil beatriz haddad maia but was then taken all the way before edging a thrilling tie break in the second to seal a place in the final. and britain's alfie hewett is aiming for a fourth french open wheelchair singles title.

he'll meet japanese second seed tokito oda in the final after a straight sets win over argentine third seed gustavo fernandez. hewitt will remain world number one if he wins. australia are in control heading into the third day of the world test championship final at the oval. replying to the aussies 469 all out india will resume this morning on 151 for five in their first innings after a difficult day for their batsmen yesterday. star player virat kohli among those to struggle against the australia pace attack, he went for just 1a. all eyes will be on michael dunlop at the isle of man tt races later. he's due to race twice today and sits just one behind his legendary unclejoey�*s

record of 26 wins. michael has already won four races this week, so another win would see him match ian hutchinson'513—year—old record of five victories in a single week. the atmosphere is building, we had a smattering of manchester city fans already making their way down to the square this morning. a couple of those, kieran and connor, are with us. how was your trip out here, you landed yesterday?— us. how was your trip out here, you landed yesterday? yeah, very long to be honest. went _ landed yesterday? yeah, very long to be honest. went through _ landed yesterday? yeah, very long to be honest. went through heathrow . landed yesterday? yeah, very long to l be honest. went through heathrow and here from heathrow. shattered to be honest with you. you here from heathrow. shattered to be honest with you.— honest with you. you look freshfaced des . ite honest with you. you look freshfaced despite that — honest with you. you look freshfaced despite that longer _ honest with you. you look freshfaced despite that longer trip. _ honest with you. you look freshfaced despite that longer trip. i _ honest with you. you look freshfaced despite that longer trip. i guess - honest with you. you look freshfaced despite that longer trip. i guess it. despite that longer trip. i guess it was a case that you just had to be here? i was a case that you 'ust had to be here? ., , was a case that you 'ust had to be here? . , . ., , was a case that you 'ust had to be here? , ,, here? i was considering missing it but i 'ust here? i was considering missing it but i just thought, _ here? i was considering missing it but i just thought, we're - here? i was considering missing it but i just thought, we're going - here? i was considering missing it but ijust thought, we're going to | but ijust thought, we're going to win the _ but ijust thought, we're going to win the first champions league hopefully, so i thought, you have -ot hopefully, so i thought, you have got to— hopefully, so i thought, you have got to do— hopefully, so i thought, you have got to do it. we hopefully, so i thought, you have got to do it— hopefully, so i thought, you have tottodoit. ~ ., ., ., , got to do it. we know that two years a t o it got to do it. we know that two years ago it didn't — got to do it. we know that two years ago it didn't work _ got to do it. we know that two years ago it didn't work out _ got to do it. we know that two years ago it didn't work out when - got to do it. we know that two years ago it didn't work out when you - got to do it. we know that two years ago it didn't work out when you lost| ago it didn't work out when you lost it to chelsea, you are on course for

we were talking about the weather, a bit overcast, warmer in some parts of the uk over the weekend? a lot warmer, great news for some who like it, but so good., it is getting hotter and more humid over the weekend. it comes with a chance of rain at last. the risk of some pretty nasty thunderstorms which could be torrential in one or two sports and caused minorflooding. for many, the dry story continues. the main chance is towards the channel islands and south—west england today. a lot of the low cloud this morning will burn away quite quickly as we go through this morning, lingering around eastern coast from lincolnshire northwards. they a few showers and thunderstorms in the channel islands and north—west, but for most dry and

sunny afternoon, temperatures rising across the south, warmer and more humid than we have been used to. 27 degrees across parts of hampshire, 22 towards the north and west, cool down towards the coast. a few isolated showers in southern england, towards wales and a few more in the far south—west. tonight low cloud returns back into place. for many, a cool night, used to that, but change is afoot. the temperatures into tonight and tomorrow morning in the teams. into the weekend we go, low cloud breaking up. lingering around eastern parts of scotland through the day. for most, sunny spells and temperatures rise, we could see these severe thunderstorms in midlands, southern england and wales, and we could see temperatures from london to north west england from london to north west england from 28 to 30, or of late. i did humidity with that and you will notice it on saturday evening, even by 10pm temperatures are still above

20 pm -- 20 by 10pm temperatures are still above 20 pm —— 20 degrees. into sunday, showers and storms breaking out across western areas. northern ireland and scotland will see them overnight saturday night into sunday and then sunday western areas, eastern areas drier and sunnier. temperatures down a little bit of what we see on saturday but still warm and humid for many. thank you very much. he's a rock legend known for his big hits like sailing and maggie may, but sir rod stewart has told bbc breakfast he's preparing to hang up his rock and roll hat after his latest tour, to explore new music. but until then, fans will be treated to not one, but two music icons as sir rod prepares to share the stage with boy george. i caught up with them both ahead of the tour. two big characters in a hotel room

and i sang with, like, luther vandross and stevie wonder, which is the most terrifying thing i've ever done. name—dropping, do you hear that? awful! i remember that show. aretha was on it, i think, as well. yeah, and he was amazing. i sang dock of the bay in a bright yellow suit, brilliant. wow. and now, george, you get to share the stage, pretty much. we do, yeah. we're going to try and do a song together if we've got time to work one out. i was thinking the first thing people are going to think, seeing you sitting together, will you be singing together? yeah, of course we will, yeah. hope so, yeah. he's going to come out and do sailing with me and i'm going to do karma karma chameleon. i'm going to come out dressed as the sailor. ooh, won't be the first time! have you worked out what song you would sing? no, we've got plenty of time to do it, though, we will. we've got time. is there something springs to mind? give us some thoughts. what don't you do on stage, because you've got so many amazing songs, what don't you do? well, you tell me one you know, and then we'll fit in. i'm going to be outrageous. the killing of georgie is one of my favourite songs. the killing of georgie, we do that, you want to sing that with me?

the uv levels are high, the pollen levels today are very high. as we head through this evening and overnight, it could be quite uncomfortable forsleeping, maybe. temperatures won't drop out of the mid—teens in celsius. it's warmer than it has been. tomorrow is another mostly dry day but with the possibility of some heavy, thundery downpours breaking out over times. lots of sunshine, temperatures in the mid to the high 205. that's it. we're back in half an hour. see you then.

a full forecast coming up here on breakfast. it's friday, ninth june. our main story. donald trump has been charged over his handling of classified documents after he left the white house. it is the second indictment of mr trump and the first ever federal charge of a former president. mr trump said he is innocent and had been summoned to appear in court on tuesday. our washington correspondent jessica parker reports. the bombshell post on social media that set headlines running. earlier this evening, the news came from the defendant himself — donald trump told his millions of followers on truth social that he was going to be indicted. a sealed indictment as charged — the former president of the united states in what is reportedly a seven—count indictment. breaking news tonight, the federal indictment of donald trump. - the first time in american history a former president has _ faced federal charges. donald trump declaring he had been indicted over

what he calls the boxes hoax. it was all a big hoax. you had two impeachments and they lost and we won. and we had tremendous support. but that was a hoax and a scam. so i just want to tell you i'm an innocent man, i did nothing wrong. donald trump's mar—a—lago resort in florida. this case is about the potential mishandling of classified files after he left office. thousands of documents were seized at his home last year. some of them were marked as classified. while the indictment hasn't been published, mr trump's lawyers believe the former president faces obstruction, false statement and espionage act charges. he is due in court in miami on tuesday. you can expect a flurry of activity in the coming days. it sounds like donald trump may have to surrender himself to federal court next week, down in miami. but after that, you will see a lull. there will be the occasional headline, maybe some

information that comes out, but it most likely will be well into next year, if this case goes to trial, that you will see a jury convened and a trial kicked off. so, yeah, that could be right in the middle of the presidential campaign season. donald trump, remember, wants to be president again. he has a base of fervent supporters. polls suggest he is currently leading the race to secure the republican nomination. that is after already being indicted in a separate case earlier this year in which he also denies wrongdoing. the first former president to be charged with a crime while he fights for re—election. this is not politics as usual, but, with donald trump, it never is. jessica parker, bbc news, in washington. four young children, including a british 3 year old, who were stabbed in a playground in annecy in eastern france, are now in a stable condition. police have confirmed

that the suspect, a syrian man, is in custody. our reporter vincent mcaviney has more. yesterday in annecy, playing toddlers were turned into targets. the safety of a sunny park shattered by a knife attack. this video gives a glimpse of the horror — the suspect running around the slides and climbing frames, a knife clearly visible in his hand. we can't show you what happened next. four children, one of them british, were stabbed in quick succession. some attacked in their prams. local authorities have told the bbc that all four children are now in a stable condition. the suspect, said to be a syrian christian, was chased through the lakeside tourist spot by witnesses before police detained and arrested him. i see a mother with the children on the floor. the children are full of blood and the mother is crying.

the suspect had refugee status in sweden and entered france legally last autumn. the french news agency afp is reporting that he was recently divorced, with a young child of his own, and had been living in a church. translation: we are deeply shaken by this odious - and indescribable act. when children are involved, people are touched to the core, and today our whole nation is in shock. france's national assembly stopped to hold a minute's silence yesterday when the news broke. the prosecutor has said they're not treating this as terrorism at the moment. and the man was not known to intelligence services. he's not believed to have any history of mental illness. so the question across france now is why anyone would have carried out such a brutal attack on those so young.

vincent mcaviney, bbc news. our paris correspondent lucy williamson joins us from annecy can see the scene behind you. people will be asking about the condition of the victims and about the motive of the victims and about the motive of the victims and about the motive of the attacker. brute of the victims and about the motive of the attacker.— of the attacker. we are told by local officials _ of the attacker. we are told by local officials that _ of the attacker. we are told by local officials that all - of the attacker. we are told by local officials that all children | local officials that all children are in a stable condition. we believe some of them are more seriously affected than others. there are some amongst those still in a serious condition. all of them have stabilised. the elderly man injured in the attack, he is believed to be in a critical condition. hospitals here are reluctant to give out very much information about individuals but we hope to get more information about the victims later today. with the victim is now most of them

stabilised, the question now about what is behind the attack. prosecutors have not come up with very much. they say they are not treating it as terrorism, the man is not known to intelligence services and does not have a history of psychiatric illness. it is fair to say there are questions asked about his mental state. he is due to have a psychiatric assessment later today we believe. the interior minister confirmed he applied for asylum in france that was refused a few days ago. they are looking into whether that was a factor. we learnt this morning the president emmanuel macron is due to visit annecy later today. macron is due to visit annecy later toda . ., ., macron is due to visit annecy later toda . ., ,, i. ukrainian attacks in the key southern zaporizhzhia region have continued overnight, with russian officials reporting of heavy fighting. experts believe the focus of ukraine's long awaited counter—offensive will be in the area. diplomatic correspondent paul adams joins us from kyiv.

we have had a lot to talk about over the past few days about what is happening in ukraine. take us through it. good morning. you remember _ through it. good morning. you remember on _ through it. good morning. gm, remember on monday we saw video suggesting that ukrainians were on the move with images of armoured vehicles moving across open ground, some of them being attacked and destroyed. then attention was gripped by the situation down in kherson after the dam was blown up on tuesday morning. now we see attention once again on the situation along the front lines because it is clear now that ukraine's counteroffensive, long—awaited, and equipped with a lot of western equipment including tanks and armoured vehicles, is beginning to ramp up. we are seeing operations around bakhmut in the east. and in particular south of

zaporizhzhia, we are seeing multiple efforts by the ukrainians to move forward, test russian defences and see where the weaknesses are and attempt to break through. the ultimate goal would be to break through heavy russian fortifications and head down to the sea to try to cut russian —controlled territory in southern ukraine in two. that will take a long time if it happens at all but that is the objective and it seems the effort is ramping up now. thanks, pauladams. prime minister rishi sunak and president biden have announced a new partnership between the us and the uk following talks at the white house. it's called the atlantic declaration, and mr sunak said the closer links will bolster economic security in response to threats from china and russia. millions of people in the united states are being urged to wear facemasks when outdoors after areas were blanketed by thick smoke from canada's wildfires. firefighters are tackling more than 400 fires across the country, which has pushed smoke into cities like washington dc,

police described as an ebike. he was being followed by greater manchester police. they had to stop because of the bollards you might see behind me. we know the ebike collided with an ambulance and the 15—year—old suffered injuries at the scene and was treated by paramedics but later died in hospital. he has been named locally but the bbc are not naming him yet because his identity has not been released by the police. we know the independent office for police conduct has launched an investigation into the circumstances which is standard procedure in a situation like this. they had investigators at the scene last night but saying the investigation is at the early stages and will release more information when they can. we have seen tributes laid, starting last night. there are

cards, candles, balloons. there was a large white banner where people who knew him wrote messages, such as love you, brother, written on there. it was a sombre mood last night. quiet this morning. but something clearly something that has affected the community. studio: facts. —— thank you. we're joined now by councillor mike mccusker — cabinet member for transport at salford council, and you have been working on electric scooters and safety around that. give us a thought about what you are hearing in the community. i would like to give the council's sympathy to the family. it is a tragedy for the family. as far as the community is concerned, there is growing concern around ebikes in particular and young men riding

living by today. it was my dream to have a long career in the army. my father served 24 years. my grandfather was in world war ii. at the age of 17, both trevor and carol pledged their lives to their country. like their families before them. ijoined for 22 years. that was my ambition. and i wanted to succeed. if i had served 22 years, i would have contributed to the army to my utmost ability. i was robbed of the career i should have had. they robbed me of my life completely. trevor and carol's aspirations were destroyed simply because they were gay. living with that secret prompted trevor to try to take his own life. carol went back in the closet for 30 years. until 2000, anyone gay, lesbian or bisexual was specifically banned from serving in the armed

forces. those who were discovered were kicked out — or what was called dishonourably discharged. the psychologist said trevor is a well—adjusted, male homosexual, 23 years old. the letter i got back from the mod said in one single sentence, "your service has been terminated as per the date of this letter". i was absolutely livid. i was reported and special investigation branch were actually in my room and they were ransacking it. i had to sit down and be interrogated by special investigation branch again for six hours, asking me intimate questions of what me and my partner got up to. and tried to get us to implicate us other people. carol and trevor's lives were left in tatters and, even today, neither of them can claim a military pension, and they're not alone. it's thought up to 5000 veterans could have been penalised. some say they were interrogated,

imprisoned, put through invasive medical procedures and had their medals stripped, until the ban was lifted. with effect from today, homosexuality will no longer be a bar to service in britain's armed forces. the government accepts the ban was wrong and commissioned a review into the impact it had, led by retired judge lord etherton. i hope that we get an official apology and compensation. so many lives were destroyed through this. medals and any awards that were given to people who were in the service, who were then drummed out because they were lesbian or gay or transgender or bisexual, those should be reinstated. and ijust hope that the government doesn't nudge, nudge, nudge, and nudge things back. last night, lord etherton met veterans calling for the government to urgently publish the review�*s full findings. for trevor and carol, meeting others who went through what they did and bringing it to light has given them a new purpose. and i'm really, really proud of being an lgbtq+ veteran. it's like a therapy.

you go back and you get involved with people of a like mind. the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. and ijust feel really, really appreciated. i'm proud now that to turn around and say, yes, i'm a gay woman, and i would have been prouder if i'd continued in the army, i must admit. the government says it is proud and grateful to its lgbt+ veterans and will consider the review and respond in due course. trevor and carol want lessons to be learned so the hopes and dreams of future generations are never taken away again. laura moss, bbc news. we'rejoined now by caroline paige, the first openly transgender serving officer in the british armed forces, who now runs the military charity fighting with pride. good morning. you were with carol

film is the pride of lgbtq veterans in their service. that applies to you. there were times... you joined in 1980, 35 years. there was a time as you transitioned when people questioned you should be there. your role in the military at all. that must be vivid in your mind as you try to get some answers to questions. try to get some answers to questions-— try to get some answers to tuestions. , ~ , ., questions. absolutely. anybody who is lgbt+ who _ questions. absolutely. anybody who is lgbt+ who served _ questions. absolutely. anybody who is lgbt+ who served in _ questions. absolutely. anybody who is lgbt+ who served in that - questions. absolutely. anybody who is lgbt+ who served in that period i is lgbt+ who served in that period has been affected in some way by the bank, having to hide yourself, facing those challenges. it was the culture at the time when i transitioned, the ban was still in place. i transitioned transitioned, the ban was still in place. itransitioned in transitioned, the ban was still in place. i transitioned in 99. that culture was there and you cannot change it overnight without showing people it is positive to be inclusive and to get the best out of your people. take some time. for quite some time, there was

difficulty in coming out, even though the ban had been lifted. that does not compare to what it was like for those who were outed in the period leading up the man. i was lucky, i served 16 years as myself in the armed forces. these people had their military career trashed overnight, walked to the gate. you are right, they are proud of their ships, squadrons, regiments, their service. but they are hurt by what happened to them. they were service people who put their lives on the line to do a job, they were well respected and just because somebody said they were lgbt, they were marched to the front gate and on the way there, they were treated dreadfully. we should not be doing that to service people. we should not do that to people. since the

year of the ban being lifted, some of the veterans were dismissed in the 705, 805, 905. we have veterans who went to prison in the 905 for being gay. they need answers. they need to be seen. they need their history to be respected and service to be respected and acknowledged and something to be done about the lives they have led since they were dismissed. iagate they have led since they were dismissed-— they have led since they were dismissed. . , ., ., ,, , dismissed. we will see what happens next. a lot dismissed. we will see what happens next- a lot of— dismissed. we will see what happens next. a lot of questions _ dismissed. we will see what happens next. a lot of questions remain i dismissed. we will see what happens next. a lot of questions remain to i next. a lot of questions remain to be answered. thank you for your time. still to come this morning. we're revisiting langstone harbour — one of the many waterways that has had raw sewage released into it. samples were taken and it's now been revealed that there's a "cocktail of drugs" in the water. environment correspondent jonah fisher is there for us. this is important work. you witnessed it yourself. now we have

hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. a heat—health alert has been issued for london for today and the coming weekend. temperatures across the capital are predicted to hit 30 degrees in some places. people are being asked to check on vulnerable friends and family. the rnli says people should be very careful about swimming in open water too. if you're going in the thames or lakes or anything like that, always go with someone and always take a means of calling help. if you do get into difficulty or you see someone is in difficulty, dial 999. swimming buoys and visible caps are also really beneficial. they help other people see you. for instance boats and all that other stuff, so you are really, really visible to everyone else. a north london pub says it's facing closure, after their landlord billed them for the full rent owed during the coronavirus lockdown period. the harrison pub near king's cross has been in a dispute over the bill for the height of the pandemic

when the pub says it was forced to close. it's now fundraising to mount a legal challenge over the decision. if we go past a certain overdraft which isn't very big, we're closed. we can't pay wages, we can't pay anything, we can't pay our bills. so we have no other pubs to back us up. no other brewery to back us up. in a statment, landlord the wellington pub company told us... thousands of west ham fans lined the streets of east london last night, celebrating the club's european final win. a victory parade saw players and fans turn out after the hammers won their second—ever major european trophy in the europa conference league final on tuesday night. its their first big european win since lifting the cup winners' cup back in 1965. let's take a look at the tubes now.

there's a good service on the tubes this morning. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello again, good morning. temperatures are set to climb across the capital as we head through the next few days. we will start to draw in some more humid feeling air. there will be a lot of sunshine around but do watch out for the possibility of some heavy, thundery downpours developing at times over the weekend. for today, though, it is looking dry. we've got some areas of cloud around again this morning but the cloud is set to break up a lot more readily than it has done in recent mornings. so there will be plenty of blue sky and sunshine emerging really quite quickly. it's still quite breezy out there with a noticeably brisk north—easterly wind. temperatures are a little higher than they have been, 23 or 24 celsius. the uv levels are high, the pollen levels today are very high. as we head through this evening and overnight,

it could be quite uncomfortable forsleeping, maybe. temperatures won't drop out of the mid—teens in celsius. it's warmer than it has been. tomorrow is another mostly dry day but with the possibility of some heavy, thundery downpours breaking out over times. lots of sunshine, temperatures in the mid to the high 205. that's it — head to our website to see more of those west ham celebrations. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. ukraine has accused russia of attacking evacuation points for those trying to escape, after a major dam was destroyed in the kherson region. let's join our reporterjoe inwood at the bbc verify hub who has more on the images we've been seeing from the area. good morning. i can see how everythin- is set up, and it is everything is set up, and it is important that we take a close look

at this area to explain what is going on because there are so many conflicting reports about what happened. conflicting reports about what happened-— conflicting reports about what hat-ened. �* , , happened. absolutely, there is alwa s a happened. absolutely, there is always a claim _ happened. absolutely, there is always a claim and _ happened. absolutely, there is| always a claim and counterclaim happened. absolutely, there is i always a claim and counterclaim with these things. if you really want to go through the truth we have got to look at the images, and that is what we have been doing at bbc verify. let's take you through a few of them. this is 5th ofjune, this is what it looked like, the denny pro river, before the explosion. it winds through the south of ukraine. —— the dnipro river. to give you the idea of the scale, 11 kilometres is how much the banks have moved. we have been looking at an open source information. this is the time, these are messages we have

found two telegram, geo— locating them to the area around, and you can see what happened. these were from 2am, reporting explosions. those messages give us an idea of when they explosion happened, at about 2:20am ukrainian time. that matters because of these videos. here you can see the dharma is already breached, and that is 2:40am. then watch up here, a secondary explosion. —— the dam is broken. there was another explosion after the dam was breached. this matters because in terms of understanding how this happened and why the dam came down, the fact that there were other explosions after there were other explosions after the main explosion feeds into the idea that maybe there could be explosives placed in the dam. we have slowed the video down and we

cannot see any missiles coming in so it feeds into the idea that there were explosives in the area. crucially, the impact of this, we have seen the pictures of the devastation, let's look at them from above. this is the city of kherson before the flooding, this was taken by the ukrainians and this is what it used to look like. two days later and it is absolutely destroyed, whole city blocks. this is destruction we have seen replicated across this region in ukrainian and russian —controlled part of ukraine. to really see it, let's go down to ground level. we are going to go to here, a roundabout in kherson, and this is a street view image that was taken from 2011. you can see what it easter look like and a couple of days ago, this is a scene on the ground, the same community completely flooded. this sort of thing has been replicated right across the kherson region. they talk

about destruction notjust of the communities but environment as well. it will not be destroyed —— result in weeks or months but it will last for years. thank you so much, so interesting to see that broken down. thank you very much for that. let's take you to istanbul, that is where john let's take you to istanbul, that is wherejohn watson is, lots of excited manchester city and inter milan fans, gearing up for a momentous occasion, i think it is fair to say, on saturday, for the teams at least. yes, good morning, iam in the heart of istanbul where manchester city fans are beginning to gather ahead of the champions league final tomorrow. i wasjust of the champions league final tomorrow. i was just speaking to two fans who told me that each ticket they bought cost $480, with hotels

and flights in excess of the £1000 as well, it gives you an idea of the cost involved in following manchester city to the final. can pep guardiola get the trophy which has so far evaded manchester city? brett is with me, your ticket was cheaper? brett is with me, your ticket was chea her?

"it's a dream come true and i can't wait".

those the words of liverpool's new signing alexis mac allister after he completed a £35 million move from brighton yesterday. he's signed a five year contract. it's been a great season for midfeielder mac allister who won the world cup with argentina before helping brighton finish sixth and qualify for next season's europa league. big day at the french open today with a mouthwatering semi final first up between new spanish star and world number one carlos alcaraz and novak djkokovic. casper ruud plays alex zverev in the other semi. world number one iga swiatek will play the unseeded karolina muchova in the women's final tomorrow. the czech player saved a match point before winning five games in a row to beat belarusian second seed aryna sabalenka. and britain's alfie hewett is aiming for a fourth french open

wheelchair singles title. he'll face japans tokito oda in the final. hewitt will remain world number one if he wins. australia are in control heading into the third day of the world test championship final at the oval. replying to the aussies 469 all out india will resume this morning on 151 for five in their first innings after a difficult day for their batsmen yesterday. star player virat kohli among those to struggle against the australia pace attack, he went for just 14. all eyes will be on michael dunlop at the isle of man tt races later. he's due to race twice

today and sits just one behind his legendary unclejoey�*s record of 26 wins. michael has already won four races this week, so another win would see him match ian hutchinson'513—year—old record of five victories in a single week. to give you a sense, many more manchester united fans will be arriving here today, many more flying in tomorrow. the manchester city players and staff arrived last night and spent the night at their team hotel and they will have their final training staff —— session today. pep guardiola will be facing the media for the final time before the media for the final time before the final to come, and it was interesting what pep guardiola said about winning trophies as he has donein about winning trophies as he has done in the past. he has called them just pieces of silverware, he says what really matters is the affection you are held in the hearts of the supporters of your club and there is no doubt that that affection will go

through the roof if he can deliver that trophy they want above all others, that elusive champions league trophy, and if they can achieve that, it would see them win this historic treble, the european treble, becoming the first english side to do so since manchester united back in 1999. it’s side to do so since manchester united back in 1999. it's always fascinating. _ united back in 1999. it's always fascinating, when _ united back in 1999. it's always fascinating, when we _ united back in 1999. it's always fascinating, when we watch i united back in 1999. it's alwaysj fascinating, when we watch you united back in 1999. it's always i fascinating, when we watch you from a distance in these mornings, and before a game, gradually it gets busier. already i am noticing behind you more and more people, some of them are fans but there will be all sorts of people there.— sorts of people there. there will come and _ sorts of people there. there will come and this _ sorts of people there. there will come and this is _ sorts of people there. there will come and this is where - sorts of people there. there will come and this is where many i sorts of people there. there will| come and this is where many will sorts of people there. there will. come and this is where many will be coming, to one of the main squares here in istanbul, another one of the big fan found the parks is not far from here where the champions league trophy, the real one, not this rather large imitation, will be on display before being moved to the ataturk stadium tomorrow ahead of the final. it is a special moment. i

know we were saying about some of the sums of money involved for the fans to have to fork out to be here, but it is an occasion they will not want to miss and it could be a hugely historical one if they can deliver that trophy at long last. thank you, john, see you later. we're going to focus for a moment on one place which saw some of the highest covid infection rates during the pandemic, bolton. families all over the uk are fully aware of how it affected them and now an official inquiry into the handling of the pandemic will move a step forward with the first formal hearing next week. our health correspondent dominic hughes has been to bolton to hear the impact it's had on the community there. anastasia's parents hold the memory of their daughter close. the bright, healthy 11 year old died in late 2021, following complications after contracting covid. how much preparation was put in childrens' care towards covid? now they want some answers.

i'd like to know why the age limit for vaccines was set at 12 years old. it's subsequently been changed to five years old. how many lives could have been saved if this was changed earlier? every day i reflect on whether, if anastasia had had been vaccinated, would the outcome have been different? we never really know the answer to that, but i think deep down we have a sense that the outcome may well have been different and she may still have been with us today. anastasia and her parents lived in bolton. during the pandemic, the town saw some of the highest covid rates in europe, leading to a huge push to get people vaccinated. as you can see, plenty of people are now queuing up to get a vaccination here in bolton. over the weekend, they managed to give the jab to more than 6200 people. almost exactly two years ago we came to bolton to report on a surge of covid cases in the town.

now, this road was lined with people who were queuing up to get vaccinations being delivered in the car park of the schooljust down the bottom of the hill. now, the head teacher of that school, two years on, has some questions he wants the covid inquiry to answer. i'd like to know what the impact of lockdowns is on the mental health of young people. what we found is a lot of students had become addicted to gaming and mobile phones, and they've been very honest about that, which was clearly very tempting during lockdown. and again, it's re—educating them that actually they are, can be learning tools, but books and studying hard in school actually is the future for their educational success. i do believe with the like coming through from primary school, this is going to be a five, six, seven, eight yearjourney before arguably we get back to how it was pre—pandemic. what you see here is the first mosque in bolton, zakariya mosque, purchased in 1967.

for ibrahim, one of the big issues in a town with a significant asian community was ensuring everyone got decent access to health care during the pandemic. did the government address the needs of the diverse communities that live in places like bolton? to begin with it was a bit slow and all we saw were the prime minister and the government giving national advice, which didn't really resonate with what was happening locally on the ground, which could have been very different to what was happening in perhaps london _ but eventually we got there once we knew how we had to deliver the key messaging to the diverse communities in bolton. even before the pandemic, many towns were struggling with stark differences in the health of the rich and poor. people were on zero—hours contracts or factory workers, or they were scared not to go to work because they needed to earn. local gp helen, who oversaw the vaccine roll—out in bolton,

witnessed first—hand how the pandemic amplified that effect. i want to know how we're going to use the lessons from covid to improve our health inequalities in our towns. every day we were finding different groups of people that perhaps weren't getting access. what they actually said in the most part was, i have no phone to book an appointment, i have no transport. i'm caring for young children, i can't get out. there needs to be more focus on this and what can we do to make sure that those people are not lost again, because it's notjust about the covid vaccination. there are real issues with people being invisible to many services. the often painful and difficult experience of the pandemic has left many of us with questions. it's now up to the covid inquiry to try and provide some answers. dominic hughes, bbc news, bolton. now the weather with matt.

let's look at the weekends. great news for some but others will probably hate what i am going to say. are you allowed to say what you are going to like or dislike? i like the warmth _ are going to like or dislike? i like the warmth but _ are going to like or dislike? i like the warmth but not _ are going to like or dislike? i like the warmth but not humidity and we get both this weekend. it has been great and cool for the last few weeks but this weekend heat and humidity will combine by day and night to bring the chance of some some severe thunderstorms, very isolated and largely dry elsewhere. the cloud in the south—west will bring the chance of thunderstorms, channel islands and the far south—west of england as we go through today. east and northern ireland at the moment, eastern england, that cloud will fade and quicker than before, it will linger

on the coast. blue skies for many, a keen easterly breeze will make it feel chilly on the eastern coast. temperatures into the 205 and the first sign of the temperature is creeping up across the south, 27 degrees through hampshire, enough to set up a few isolated showers which could drift towards wales. it will be mostly dry and the low cloud returns, eastern scotland, the north east england, midlands and eastern parts of wales. misty over the hills and a cool side, where things are clear. in the south, 13 to 14 degrees, starting to feel a little bit warmer compared to recent nights. into tomorrow, the warmer start, temperatures will fly up quickly. sunshine around, the far south—west, but as the heat builds, parts of wales, southern england, northern ireland, scattered and severe thunderstorms later. temperatures to 30 degrees in the south—east, 26 possible in western

scotland. after the warmth and humidity, it stays warmer for longer into the night. 10pm on saturday, still above 20 degrees. a stormy night for parts of northern ireland and north—west scotland, but the showers will be there into sunday and will blossom across western areas, compared with recent weeks the west will see more cloud. a few sunny spells and scattered intense thunderstorms, eastern areas will be much sunnier, and temperatures will be down a little bit on saturday but it will still be hot and humid. as the storms fade into next week, high pressure starts to build, we are going to stick with a largely dry story and it is going to stay warm through much of next week. that is how it is looking.— through much of next week. that is how it is looking. imagine where the hot, humid how it is looking. imagine where the hot. humid and _ how it is looking. imagine where the hot, humid and sweaty _ how it is looking. imagine where the hot, humid and sweaty works - how it is looking. imagine where the hot, humid and sweaty works at i hot, humid and sweaty works at accessible?— hot, humid and sweaty works at i accessible?_ can accessible? perfect conditions! can ou accessible? perfect conditions! can you imagine! _

festival season is here and this weekend thousands of music fans will descend on donington park for the sold out download festival. but rising costs for organisers mean some festivals are at risk of not going ahead at all. hannah's at donington park for us this morning. hannah is also getting a plum gig there! the stages behind you, all set, good morning.— there! the stages behind you, all set, good morning. good morning. it's not set, good morning. good morning. it's not hot — set, good morning. good morning. it's not hot and _ set, good morning. good morning. it's not hot and humid _ set, good morning. good morning. it's not hot and humid here - set, good morning. good morning. it's not hot and humid here at i set, good morning. good morning. it's not hot and humid here at the. it's not hot and humid here at the moment, there is quite a breeze here at the download festival. they are getting set up on the main stage, last night it was metallica here, tonight it will be bring me the horizon. you can see the screens are up, this will be packed, 100,000 people expected over the next few days. all kinds of entertainment, another tent up there, the big wheel, but running events like this comes at a cost. and gusts for

organisers are up 30% since 2019. a lot of that is going on energy. we have talked about that plenty of times before, and staff costs as well. so tickets are about 12% higher than they were previously. here at download, if you came with a full weekend, it would set you back 330 -- £345. one full weekend, it would set you back 330 —— £345. one group representing organisers says because of the rising cost, as many as 20% of festivals could disappear. we heard this week about hideaway in essex, a new festival, which has been cancelled, and there were worries that that could be the fate of others. let's talk to melvin, the managing director of festival republic and a founding father of festivals. good morning. how difficult has it been to predict

greenwich has revealed plans that would stop travelling ice cream vans from selling on over 30 roads across the borough. they say it's due to concerns around noise levels plus the impact on the environment and local attractions. a decision will be made on the plans next week. thousands of west ham fans lined the streets of east london last night, celebrating the club's european final win. # i'm for ever blowing bubbles #. a victory parade saw players and fans turn out after the hammers won their second—ever major european trophy in the europa conference league final on tuesday night. let's take a look at the tubes — there's a good service on the tubes. now the weather. a cloudy start today, but it will turn sunny with quite warm conditions, too. maximum temperature 25c. that's it. we're back in half an hour. see you then.

bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines. donald trump is charged over his handling of classified documents after he left the white house — he's due to be arrested next week. including a british child, who were stabbed at a playground in france, are in a stable condition. tests here in langstone harbour and chichester harbour have revealed a cocktail of chemical compounds in the water including medicine and recreational drugs. good morning from istanbul. manchester city fans are beginning to arrive, some of whom have travelled through the night ahead of

tomorrow's champions league final with inter milan. # 0, maggie i couldn't have tried any more — after more than 50 years — rod stewart is giving up rock and roll — he tells this programme he wants to focus on other kinds of music. special occasion, maybe, just like elton — he said last night he will probably do the odd gig — but no more touring with rock and roll. everything comes to an end sooner or later. it is set to get warmer and more humid over the next days. with it, this weekend, a chance of storms. the forecast coming up. it's friday, 9th ofjune. our main story. donald trump has been charged over his handling of classified documents after he left the white house. it is the second indictment of mr trump, and the first ever federal charge of a former president. mr trump said he was innocent

and had been summoned to appear in court on tuesday. our washington correspondent jessica parker reports. the bombshell post on social media that set headlines running. earlier this evening, the news came from the defendant himself — donald trump told his millions of followers on truth social that he was going to be indicted. a sealed indictment has charged the former president of the united states in what is reportedly a seven—count indictment. breaking news tonight, the federal indictment of donald trump. - the first time in american history a former president has _ faced federal charges. donald trump declaring he had been indicted over what he calls the "boxes hoax". it was all a big hoax. you had two impeachments and they lost and we won. and we had tremendous support. but that was a hoax and a scam. so i just want to tell you i'm an innocent man, i did nothing wrong. donald trump's mar—a—lago resort in florida.

this case is about the potential mishandling of classified files after he left office. thousands of documents were seized at his home last year. some of them were marked as classified. while the indictment hasn't been published, mr trump's lawyers believe the former president faces obstruction, false statement and espionage act charges. he is due in court in miami on tuesday. you can expect a flurry of activity in the coming days. it sounds like donald trump may have to surrender himself to federal court next week, down in miami. but after that, you'll see a lull. there will be the occasional headline, maybe some information that comes out, but it most likely will be well into next year, if this case goes to trial, that you will see a jury convened and a trial kicked off. so, yeah, that could be right in the middle of the presidential campaign season. donald trump, remember, wants to be president again. he has a base of fervent supporters. polls suggest he is currently leading the race to secure

the republican nomination. that is after already being indicted in a separate case earlier this year in which he also denies wrongdoing. the first former president to be charged with a crime while he fights for re—election. this is not politics as usual, but, with donald trump, it never is. jessica parker, bbc news, in washington. four young children, including a british three—year—old, who were stabbed in a playground in annecy in eastern france, are now in a stable condition. police have confirmed that the suspect, a syrian man, is in custody. our reporter vincent mcaviney has more. yesterday in annecy, playing toddlers were turned into targets. the safety of a sunny park shattered by a knife attack. this video gives a glimpse of the horror — the suspect running around the slides and climbing frames, a knife clearly visible in his hand. we can't show you

what happened next. four children, one of them british, were stabbed in quick succession. some attacked in their prams. local authorities have told the bbc that all four children are now in a stable condition. the suspect, said to be a syrian christian, was chased through the lakeside tourist spot by witnesses before police detained and arrested him. i see a mother with the children on the floor. the children are full of blood and the mother is crying. the suspect had refugee status in sweden and entered france legally last autumn. the french news agency afp is reporting that he was recently divorced, with a young child of his own, and had been living in a church. translation: we are deeply shaken by this odious - and indescribable act.

when children are involved, people are touched to the core, and today our whole nation is in shock. france's national assembly stopped to hold a minute's silence yesterday when the news broke. the prosecutor has said they're not treating this as terrorism at the moment. and the man was not known to intelligence services. he's not believed to have any history of mental illness. so the question across france now is why anyone would have carried out such a brutal attack on those so young. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. paris correspondent lucy williamson joins us from annecy where the attack took place. we can see the playground we can see the playground behind we can see the playground behind you. thoughts about the condition of

the children involved. i am not sure if there has been an update. also, questions about the motives of the attacker in custody. this questions about the motives of the attacker in custody.— attacker in custody. this is the playground _ attacker in custody. this is the playground where _ attacker in custody. this is the playground where the - attacker in custody. this is the playground where the attack. playground where the attack happened. you can probably see journalists behind me. there is a growing pile of candles, flowers, soft toys being left. a stream of local people coming here. there is a sense of relief, that we are now being told all four children are in a stable condition. some are still serious. the elderly man who was injured is thought to be critical. the focus is moving towards understanding why the attack happened. prosecutors have so far not come up with a clear motive and are not treating it as terrorism. they said he was not known to intelligence services, nor had any history of psychiatric illness. it is fair to say there are questions around his mental state. the

interior minister said the suspect made an application for asylum in france denied a few days ago, because he already had refugee status in sweden. he is due to have a psychiatric assessment later. we will wait to see the results of that. in the meantime, president macron said he will visit annecy later to pay tribute to the victims and emergency services. a is—year—old boy who was riding an electric bike has died after a crash with an ambulance in salford. police said the teenager was being followed by traffic officers until their vehicles were blocked by road bollards. the independent office for police conduct is investigating the incident. our north of england reporter rowan bridge joins us from the scene. good morning. it is difficult at the moment, understandably, to piece together what happened. what moment, understandably, to piece together what happened.— moment, understandably, to piece together what happened. what do we know? the details _ together what happened. what do we know? the details of— together what happened. what do we

know? the details of the _ together what happened. what do we know? the details of the events - together what happened. what do we know? the details of the events are l know? the details of the events are still coming out. what we know is that greater manchester police say around two o'clock yesterday afternoon they were following a teenager on a ebike on the row behind me. there is a set of bollards that block the road and police stopped because of them. what we are told is a short time later the ebike was in collision with an ambulance driving down the road. initially we were told it was not moving. north west ambulance service clarified that to say it was driving down the road but it was not responding to an emergency call, it was returning to the ambulance station. the is—year—old was treated by paramedics at the scene but sadly died later in hospital. the incident has been referred to the independent office for police conduct which is standard procedure. they launched an investigation. they had investigators at the scene earlier last night. they say the

investigation is at an early stage. thanks. ukrainian attacks in the key southern zaporizhzhia region have continued overnight, with russian officials reporting of heavy fighting. it comes as ukraine has accused russia of attacking evacuation points for those affected by the destruction of the kakhovka dam. our ukraine correspondent, james waterhousejoins us now from mykolaiv. good morning. may be usefulfor the audience here to explain where you are. the bodies of water behind you. can you establish that? of course. this is the dnipro river, the main river that dissects ukraine down the middle. you will have seen the city of kherson downstream that came under catastrophic flooding over the past days. we have moved further

upstream to show you how far—reaching the floodwaters are. that destruction of the kakhovka dam, 50 kilometres from here, the consequences of that are still being felt. we have moved upstream. this city last year used to come under heavy aerial attack because it was as far as russian forces could advance but they ultimately did not take the city. further down, the city of kherson was the only major regional capital to fall. we were there yesterday following rescue efforts, which had to be stopped because of incoming shells. it was an impossiblejob made more impossible if that makes sense. extraordinary to see the efforts of volunteers went through, and the people managing to escape, refusing to leave their homes. it is a city in a desperate situation. late to leave their homes. it is a city in a desperate situation. we are lookin: in a desperate situation. we are looking at _ in a desperate situation. we are looking at images _ in a desperate situation. we are looking at images you _ in a desperate situation. we are | looking at images you described. in a desperate situation. we are . looking at images you described. in terms of what happens next, as we

were establishing, in terms of some of the confusion over the claims and counter claims as to what originally caused the dam to burst. i will counter claims as to what originally caused the dam to burst.— caused the dam to burst. i will not be able to stand _ caused the dam to burst. i will not be able to stand here _ caused the dam to burst. i will not be able to stand here and - caused the dam to burst. i will not be able to stand here and tell - caused the dam to burst. i will not be able to stand here and tell you| be able to stand here and tell you definitively who was behind the destruction of the dam and i do not think that moment will come but it is important to understand the surrounding forces. there is a military dimension with russian forces on the eastern bank preparing to defend a counteroffensive on the ukrainian side that seems to have started. the kakhovka dam is a potential crossing point for the ukrainian advance. it's destruction widens the dnipro river substantially and rivers in times of war are useful barriers. it is raising safety questions about the

power plant upstream. it has caused the most severe flooding on the occupied eastern bank. charities warn about landmines being washed up. the russian defences, the trenches have been completely flooded. as for the ukrainian side, in a military sense, kyiv would have less to gain by the destruction of the dam because we are talking about dozens of settlements, towns and cities, liberation, occupation, everything. that is now partially submerged. you wonder how much people can take. it is important to understand the military forces and that moscow continues to spread false statements about the continued justification of ukraine and if you talk about the general cause, it is russia's invasion of ukraine that has led to the destruction of the dam because ukraine is defending its territory and rush are trying to hold onto what it is taken.

the government has announced the windfall tax on oil and gas companies will stay in place until 2028 but will reduce if prices return to normal levels. we'rejoined now by our political correspondent jonathan blake. i remember the resistance when this was initially brought in but now it is here to stay another five years. yes. the energy profits levy, a windfall tax on oil and gas companies was due to end this year. the chancellor at the last budget confirmed it would stay in place until 2028. today is an update, a change to the current plan, which means that if energy prices fall to historically average levels, normal levels for a period of six months or more, there is a guarantee from the treasury to the companies that the

windfall tax will reduce and in fact fall back to 40%, the standard rate these companies are used to paying. with that they have said on the current forecast there is no prospect of the prices returning to those levels before the tax was due to end in 2028 anyway. i think this is put in place as a signal, a reassurance to energy companies that if prices are to fall, they will not be subject to these very high tax rates, even regardless of that. in the hope companies will continue to invest in the sector and keep uk energy reasonable at the uk energy industry at a sustainable level, the government is putting in place is guaranteed but still the windfall tax remaining in place on the face of it until 2028.— of it until 2028. thanks for taking us throu~h of it until 2028. thanks for taking us through that. _ it's a stomach—churning sight we've

seen far too many times over the past year — raw sewage being pumped directly into our rivers and seas. it's an issue many campaigners have taken into their own hands — including those at langstone harbour where samples have revealed a "cocktail" of chemicals in the water. environment correspondent jonah fisher is there for us this morning. good to see you but what is not good to see is the stuff in our waterways. yes, good morning. it might superficially look nice behind me but if you look closer, that line behind me is the sewage overflow pipe that discharges sewage into the water quite regularly here. there is a water treatment plantjust over this hedgerow to my left. residents have been concerned for a long time about what is going into the sea and

what it has done to water quality. i came to speak to some of them this week and put together this report. the natural harbours of langstone and chichester on england's south coast. their sheltered waters an important breeding ground for birds and a popular haul—out spot for relaxing seals. but this is also where raw sewage from portsmouth is regularly dumped, and locals say they think the water quality has been getting worse. we'd had a lot more cases of people saying they'd gone into the water and they'd had stomach upsets and ear issues. we just thought something's not quite right here. we're out on langstone harbour with bianca and rob. they were so worried about the state of the water that they formed a group of residents to take samples and then send them off to be tested at a university laboratory. in the last few years, we've seen more and more initiatives like this one spring up around

the country — frustrated people taking matters into their own hands to try to find out a bit more about what's really happening in our rivers and in the sea. all right, i'll do it and then you'll pass me a bottle. rob and bianca now have their answer from last year's testing. brunel university has sent them a long list of what was found. each of the 22 sites they sampled at had, on average, traces of 19 different chemicals. we found metformin, which is a diabetic drug. we have also found trimethoprim, which is an antibiotic, some nicotine, some cocaine, tramadol and naproxen — and tramadol and naproxen are actually painkillers, as well. so these are all things that are coming out of people. so the way that they're getting into the water must be through the people, through the water system, through the sewage. much of it is likely to have come out of this pipe. this drone footage from 2021 shows it discharging a mix of sewage and rainwater into langstone harbour.

you can see an awful lot of wet wipes there, there's some net, all sorts of other stuff there. we took a look at low tide. so far this year, this pipe has flowed for more than 800 hours. the situation here is that the water companies and the environment agency and others have known for many, many years what's in the water and what's coming out, and they haven't done anything about it. at the mouth of langstone harbour, professor alex ford shows us how the geography of the natural harbours keeps the discharged sewage and chemicals close to shore. it ejects from there and it comes right the way down here, and then the tide turns and it washes straight back up. so these organisms that are permanently there are just living in a cocktail of different chemical wastes. professor ford has been testing marine creatures from the harbours and has found traces of many of the chemicals inside their bodies. it has the same effect on them that it was designed to have on us.

so if you give them antidepressants that were designed to affect human behaviour, they affect the behaviour of these organisms. they will swim differently, they'll behave differently, they'll behave with each other differently. how worried should we be? very. yeah, we've got to take this seriously because there are chemicals harming our wildlife now which we banned 30 years ago, and they're still having effects now. the local water company, southern water, sent us this statement. it says... it said improvements are planned for both langstone and chichester harbours. the environment agency told the bbc that polluting rivers and seas is unacceptable and that it has been holding the water industry to account on a scale never seen before.

so do the campaigners feel they're making any progress? i do, absolutely, yes. we've really helped to bring this right to the forefront of everybody�*s minds. so we wanted to investigate, we wanted to inform, and then we wanted to get some improvement. so we won't stop until we've got that improvement. so i think there's a really long road ahead of us. the pressure is now on the water companies to show they can clean up their act. jonah fisher, bbc news, in langstone harbour. to chat to about some of those issues i am joined by sarah, a campaigner who has taken samples. feargal sharkey, musician turned water campaigner.— feargal sharkey, musician turned water campaigner. absolutely all of the above. you _ water campaigner. absolutely all of the above. you are _ water campaigner. absolutely all of the above. you are a _ water campaigner. absolutely all of the above. you are a wild _ water campaigner. absolutely all of| the above. you are a wild swimmer, ou like the above. you are a wild swimmer, you like going _ the above. you are a wild swimmer, you like going in _ the above. you are a wild swimmer, you like going in the _ the above. you are a wild swimmer, you like going in the sea. _ the above. you are a wild swimmer, you like going in the sea. we - the above. you are a wild swimmer,

tomorrow, many we spoke to three through the night last night, one fan took off at 20 past 12 last night, i it here very early this morning coming straight into the square. many more doing the same. they will be hoping that manchester city can at long last get this elusive trophy that has evaded him so far and pep guardiola their manager was tasked to try and win. our sports editor is here and he has been looking ahead to the task facing manchester city in tomorrow's final. this, of course, is the trophy that the abu dhabi owners of city have coveted more than any other since they bought the club some 15 years ago and pumped over £1 billion into making it one of the richest teams in the world. two years ago they had that opportunity against premier league rivals chelsea, but lost. since then they were beaten in the semifinal last season, but they managed to this time get past their spanish rivals, real madrid, in stunning fashion this year.

and that, i think, means that they are red hot favourites against inter milan who can't be taken lightly. after all, they have a better pedigree in this competition. three times winners. the last time in 2010 underjose mourinho. they're strong defensively, struggled for consistency in the italian league but emerged from a group that contained bayern munich and barcelona. they beat their city rivals ac milan in the champions league semifinal. they'll be super motivated, of course, but city will be favourites. this hasn't been a season without controversy, of course, for city. they face those premier league charges over alleged financial rule breaches that they deny. but on the field it's been close to perfect for guardiola's men and they now stand on the verge of fully completing theirjourney to the very top of european club football's elite. and here in a city that straddles two continents, the sense is that the game finds itself at a crossroads. victory for city raising big questions over who and how anyone can challenge them.

if anything will replicate the size of the challenge ahead, it is that giant replica trophy, city will be hoping to get their hands on a considerably smaller and currently on display at a fan park half an hourfrom here, that trophy on display at a fan park half an hour from here, that trophy will be moved to the stadium ahead of the game tomorrow. these big finals and european people are coming thick and fast, manchester city's ten tomorrow as it was west ham in prague this week, successful side which came past year and tina —— fiorentino, and look at the reception they were given, thousands of fans welcoming the team home as they paraded the

trophy on top of the open top bus through the streets of east london. manager david moyes was there, a huge party, continuing, thousands of fans waited for hours to get a glimpse of that trophy. their first in such a long time, theirfirst major european trophy in 58 years. the bus weaving its way towards that special reception at stratford's town hall at the end of it. great scenes, great moments, and a reminder of what it all about. manchester city, the club and their fans will be hoping that they will be able to replicate some of those things on their return to manchester if they can claim this historic european treble by winning the champions league trophy here in assemble tomorrow to go with the premier league title and the fa cup crown they have already won this season. we will be hearing from pep who has said in the lead up that if manchester city want to be classed as a huge league club, they need to

and sir rod stewart is bang on time. boy george is a little bit late. they are friends of each other. you're a fan of rod stewart? well, who isn't? well, that's a good question. everyone loves rod stewart, everyone. i'm very flattered, that's lovely, mate. and that's why we're going out on tour together. hold each other's hands. so do you go back a long way? i mean, do you remember when you first met? do you remember the occasion? i can't remember those days, you can. i remember, of course, because i was playing in la and rod was there and i was like, "oh, my god, rod stewart's there, oh, my god." where were you playing? somewhere in la, it was like one of those... it must have been about '83 or '84. we were just bubbling, maybe it was earlier than that. whiskey, whiskey go—go? some place like that, it wasn't massive, but it was, like, big for us. can i show you a little picture? i've got a little picture here, can you have a look at this one and tell me if either of you remember this occasion? yeah, i do, yeah. that was the motown celebration, wasn't it? how many years of motown was it? it was one of those big things. yeah, i rememberthat. so when's this? it was in the eighties, i remember you did dock of the bay.

i had a yellow suit on. and i sang with, like, luther vandross and stevie wonder, which is the most terrifying thing i've ever done. name—dropping, do you hear that? awful! i remember that show. aretha was on it, i think, as well. yeah, and he was amazing. i sang dock of the bay in a bright yellow suit, brilliant. wow. and now, george, you get to share the stage, pretty much. we do, yeah. we're going to try and do a song together if we've got time to work one out. i was thinking the first thing people are going to think, seeing you sitting together, will you be singing together? yeah, of course we will, yeah. hope so, yeah. he's going to come out and do sailing with me and i'm going to do karma karma chameleon. i'm going to come out dressed as the sailor. ooh, won't be the first time! have you worked out what song you would sing? no, we've got plenty of time to do it, though, we will. we've got time. is there something springs to mind? give us some thoughts. what don't you do on stage, because you've got so many amazing songs, what don't you do? well, you tell me one you know, and then we'll fit it in. i'm going to be outrageous. the killing of georgie is one of my favourite songs. the killing of georgie, we do that, you want to sing that with me?

i'd love to sing it. you can do the "doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo." oh, that would be great, you'lljoin the girls and that'll be truly wonderful. i love that song. well, that song is an amazing song. it's an incredible song, isn't it? and i know, george, that it has particular resonance for you. can you tell the story? my mum bought it for me when i was a kid and she put it in my sock drawer in a brown paper bag to let me know she knew what was going on. just explain that a little bit. well, she used to say i was theatrical, you know, highly strung and theatrical. so it was her way of saying, "i know what you are, i love you, here's a great song." and of course, i love that song so that's a very powerful song. a round of applause for mum. well done, mum. let me tell you something about that song which is most gratifying, is, you know, through the years guys have come up to me and when they were younger, said, like you, said, thank you for writing that song. because i was in a dark place, and it got me through that period, you know. i was unsure of my sexuality, and that got me through. so, lovely. even though the bbc banned it. i didn't know that. yeah, they did.

that didn't work. on what grounds, why was it banned? homosexuality, no one had ever written about that and i mentioned the word gay a couple of times. 0k. how times have changed. # leaving home on a greyhound bus # cast out for the ones he loves # a victim of these gay days, it seems # doo doo doo doo doo doo... i understand you lost your mum recently. idid, yeah. and given that, you're going to be on stage with rod stewart. all these things are going to be very large in your mind, aren't they? it's going to be very poignant. my mum would have loved to have been there. well, she is, she is looking down at you. absolutely, yeah, my mum was a big fan. very special times. culture club, were you a fan of culture club? 0h, who isn't? yeah, i mean, yeah, of course. he just broke through down so many barriers when he came along. the way he was dressed,

the hats, the everything. brilliant, brilliant. i was a 70s kid, you see, 70s was when i discovered music. so when people say the 805, i was like, no, the 70s. the 70s was everything, glam rock, punk rock, reggae music. the 70s was the most interesting decade and sort of set us up for the 805, but it was all about the 70s. yeah, radical change in the 70s and the late 60s as well. everything changed. one way or another over the years... that's a good song. what? _ # one way or another, i'm going to get you # i'm going to get you, get you, get you, get you, one way! if i set you up with a line each time, will you sing? we'll try! let me rephrase that, then. over the years, both of you have led big lives. and often under the spotlight. in slightly different eras. do you ever compare notes about how things have been for you,

about publicity, about people and how you are being treated? i think if people are talking about you it's great. yeah, it is. really? sometimes. i think if you're in the entertainment game, and you're out in the public, then you're fair game, you know. photographers don't particularly worry me, as long as they they don't pry in my privacy. i think the trick is to enjoy being who you are, you know. it takes years, sometimes, to get to that point where you go, i love being rod stewart, i'd love to be! i'm boy george, i love being boy george. i love going on stage and being the best version of myself i can be. here here. warming up for someone who i will say respect. you're not warming up, mate, don't you worry about that, you're not warming up for me. the thing is, rod is a great singer, he's a great singer, he's an amazing singer, he is! on the subject of amazing voices. i did want to ask you about tina turner. the tributes that came in, it's literally a who's who of music, isn't it, people paying tribute to her. that onstage persona that people will know from the performances, everyone says they learned stuff watching her, was that true for you as well?

i think everybody picked up something from her. her timing was impeccable. you know, you get singers who think they can sing but they don't sing quite in the pocket, you know. loose, she sang loose, baby. she was tremendous. and so people understand, you did live duets with tina turner, what's that like, what was that like? well, it was stunning, we sang hot legs together in the forum in los angeles, it was extraordinary, she just didn't care. and she loved rock and roll, that's what she loved, more than anything, she loved rock and roll. she didn't want to be left in the soul pocket. she loved rock and roll, which i loved about her. # i love you honey. george, it's amazing, isn't it? i'll say that as if rod's not here. that... how do i say this delicately? rock stars are performing into incredible ages now. good.

i actually don't know off the top of my head how old you are, rod, but it's amazing. you would have thought it might be over by now. you might have stopped performing live. well, i am actually stopping. oh, you are? yeah, this is not... i'm not retiring, but i want to move on to, you know, i had great success with the great american song book, all american standards, and i've just done a swing album with jools holland, which is going to come out next year. so i want to go in that direction. so ijust want to leave all the rock and roll stuff behind for a while, maybe. so, not any more rock and roll? no. what about— so, not any more rock and roll? no. what about live _ so, not any more rock and roll? no. what about live performances? mayj so, not any more rock and roll? no. i what about live performances? may be secial what about live performances? may be special occasions, _ what about live performances? may be special occasions, just _ what about live performances? may be special occasions, just like _ what about live performances? may be special occasions, just like elton, - special occasions, just like elton, maybe _ special occasions, just like elton, maybe i_ special occasions, just like elton, maybe i will do the odd gig. some people were hearing you say that, no more rock and roll, they'll be thinking, no more rod stewart singing those songs that we know so well.

yeah. hot legs and all those things, they'll be like, that's kind of an end of an era. everything has to come to an end sooner or later. so we're in a good place with that? yeah, yeah. i'm really looking forward to to doing something else, you know, especially singing withjools's band. it borders on rock and roll anyway, it'sjust not maggie may and do you think i'm sexy? it's been an absolute delight talking to both of you. cheers, mate, thank you. thank you so much. thank you. nice socks! you still haven't told me what socks you were _ you still haven't told me what socks you were wearing i genuinely cannot remember. — you were wearing i genuinely cannot remember. the you were wearing i genuinely cannot remember. . ,:, :,, ' remember. the thing about those 21, a -la off remember. the thing about those 21, a play off each _ remember. the thing about those 21, a play off each other _ remember. the thing about those 21, a play off each other and _ remember. the thing about those 21, a play off each other and they - remember. the thing about those 21, a play off each other and they are - a play off each other and they are too men who love their stuff. rod was doing his handkerchief insulting himself out, and george obviously determined to wear the hat, the camera crew weren't happy because it mist up the lighting but not, he is famous for his hat. had mist up the lighting but not, he is famous for his hat.— mist up the lighting but not, he is famous for his hat. had a nice white vin l famous for his hat. had a nice white vinyl between _ famous for his hat. had a nice white vinyl between them. _ famous for his hat. had a nice white vinyl between them. -- _ famous for his hat. had a nice white vinyl between them. -- they - famous for his hat. had a nice white vinyl between them. -- they had i famous for his hat. had a nice white vinyl between them. -- they had a l vinyl between them. —— they had a nice vibe between them. i
