That they would be able to be lifted. Game of thrones star Emilia Clarke tells breakfast how having a stroke in her 20s has led her to back calls for more support for young victims. Good morning. A lot of fine weather on the way across the uk this weekend but a little bit of a change in the way things feel some fresher air blowing in from the north. More on the way things are looking in a few moments. Its saturday, the 6th ofjuly. Our top story. Murderers who refuse to reveal the location of a victims body could be forced to spend longer in prison under a new law. The legal change, known as helens law, follows campaigning by the mother of helen mccourt, who was killed in 1988 but whose body was never found. Ben ando reports. For 31 years, Marie Mccourt has been fighting for helens law, named after her daughter who was just 22 when she was abducted and murdered in 1988. Her killer, pub landlord ian simms. He has never reveal the whereabouts of helens body. To ta ke to take a life is horrendous but then to take the lives of the family of the loved one and not let them know where their loved ones body is, there is no torture worse than that. I could say ive had a dripping tap on my head for the last 31 yea rs. Dripping tap on my head for the last 31 years. Its far worse than that. Its a pain in your heart that will never go. Marie led a campaign demanding that murderers who refused to disclose the whereabouts of a victims remains spend longer behind bars. In 2016, mps voted in favour of helens law, but it did not receive government backing until now. Withjustice secretary david gauke proposing that it be introduced as soon as practicable. The parole board can already use withholding information as a reason not to release a prisoner because it suggests there is still an ongoing risk to the public. But its optional. Helens law changes that. It makes factoring it in a legal requirement. Even now, marie lights candles every week at her home in merseyside. Although she still does not know where her daughters remains are, the creation of helens law may provide some comfort especially if it means other families wont have to face both the pain of loss and the agony of not knowing. Ben ando, bbc news. Some conservative Party Members have been sent two ballot papers for the leadership contest instead of one, the bbc has uncovered. Its estimated more than 1,000 people have been affected. The papers have been sent out to conservatives around the uk to allow them to vote for the next party leader and prime minister. 0ur Political Correspondent peter saull is in our london newsroom with more on this. Take us through what we know has gone wrong. As you say, one internal party figure told us more than 1000 people have got two ballot papers by mistake through the post. We dont know the exact figure, the party cant tell us exactly how widespread this issue is. We know that it effects people registered for two different local conservative associations and it might affect people who had changed their names after getting married. 0thers people who had changed their names after getting married. Others who have got one name and one address and members of one conservative association, have for some reason got two ballot papers. This can happen in general elections as well, if youre registered at two different places. Students are the most obvious example. The difference here is there is no clear oversight. Ina here is there is no clear oversight. In a normal election, the Electoral Commission the courts have commission and the courts have powers to make sure people dont abuse the system whereas this is up to the conservative party itself to police the issue and they say its written clearly on each ballot paper you can only vote once in this election and if you dont youll be kicked out of the party. 23rd of july will know who has won and hes the next prime minister, what happens between now and then .

There is a debate on itv on tuesday and then a couple of interviews with andrew neil on friday. There is a poll out today suggesting jeremy hunt has an awful lot of ground to make up. Borisjohnson still very much the favourite to win this race and into and a half weeks we will know exactly which of those two men will be walking through the famous black front door on downing street. Thank you. One of britains most senior female Asian Police Officers has accused the metropolitan police of discrimination.

A new record High Temperature has been set in the american state of alaska part of which lies inside the arctic circle. It reached 32 degrees celsius in anchorage on thursday.

Seven women who were stopped from graduating as doctors 150 years ago, are to be awarded posthumous honorary degrees in medicine.

Everyone loves it when a new sculpture is unveiled and you get to see whether its a good likeness or not. A sculpture of the american first lady, melania trump, has been unveiled in her home country of slovenia. They are enjoying it. But the life size wooden statue has prompted mixed reviews. Its been carved out of a tree trunk with a chainsaw and depicts melania in the blue dress she wore at Donald Trumps inauguration in 2017. Exactly the same, is it . Similar. The devil is in the detail. Blue boots as well. Its all part of one giant carving, its carved out of the tree itself, if you see what i mean. Its all one thing. So the tree is still alive . It looks like it. Weve been asking you if you have a particular favourite sculptures, we are always serious. We will show you some corkers at 9 30am. The duke and duchess of sussex will christen their baby, Archie Harrison mountbatten windsor, today in the private chapel of Windsor Castle. But harry and meghan caused some controversy when they announced the event will be held privately and that details, like the names of godparents, will not be released. The royal commentator victoria murphy is outside Buckingham Palace to talk more about this. Good morning. Its almost like a backlash against not knowing whats going on, what do you make of it . |j think its interesting, the christening held today, Buckingham Palace have released some details about the christening. It will be in the private chapel of Windsor Castle, the archbishop of canterbury will conduct the service, charles, camilla, william and kate will be there. Archie will wear the traditional royal christening gown. So far so traditional. However, the couple have decided not to allow the media to capture the arrivals of the christening which is something the cambridges did. Theyve also decided to keep names of godparents private, which we would expect to be released. Its important to point out that royal christening services themselves have always been private. The service has always been private, so the service has always been private, so there is no change, and the couple are going to release their own images taken by photographer chris ellison. You could say they are tweeting Convention Rather than ripping it up but this has caused debate because £2. 11 million of taxpayers money was spent renovating their official residence. What the debate centres around is what is it reasonable to expect a publicly funded members of the royalfamily to share in exchange for the funding they receive. Is it the case its just the official engagements, the duties and work they should be able to do publicly, or does the public have a reasonable expectation to have a reasonable expectation to have implementation and a certain amount of access to milestone moments . And crucially, who does not extend to . Harry and meghan are working royal spot archie isnt. Its a big debate sparked by relatively small changes to convention. Why isnt archie likely to bea convention. Why isnt archie likely to be a working royal . He is unlikely to grow up to carry out official duties on a full time basis, in the same way that princess beatrice and Princess Eugenie dont, and the children of princess annes dont either. Hes far enough down the life of succession that his life is unlikely to be taken up with public duties and he wont be publicly funded. Whats interesting about the situation is there is clearly a lot of support for and megan for harry and meghan when it comes to raising archie out of the public eye. Things like going to school, going out on the weekend. People find themselves on the wrong side of Public Opinion if they are intruding. However, whether or not that level of goodwill and support extends to them wanting to have more privacy done has been convention i think there is a bigger question about that. We see that with this debate being sparked now. Really good to talk to you. Thank you. Its saturday morning in earlyjuly, lots of things are going on at the weekend. Whats the picture for today . Its not looking too bad this weekend. If youve been with us this morning, weve been bringing you pictures of sunshine to the south of the uk and we are going to take a look at the far north, tojohn 0groats and the sun is trying to come through the cloud here. We will see perhaps a few showers across northern scotland today. Theres also a weather front sinking south and some rain coming into some areas. Nothing too heavy. The biggest difference behind the front with cooler weather sinking south. Thats what it looks like in terms of the weather chart. Bringing some patchy outbreaks of rain but many places will brighten behind the front and not all areas will see the rain. We will point out that front gets into the london area later today, potentially with more of a downpour associated with it. We could see the cover is coming on at wimbledon before close of play. Certainly a cooler day today with temperatures around 25. More cloud today. We will see some widespread sunshine here. There is the front clouding things up across south wales with rain through into east anglia. Brighter skies to the north. Anglia. Brighter skies to the north. A cooler, fresher feel as we switch round to a northerly wind with a fuchsia was continuing across northern and eastern scotland. Quite breezy for scotland too, enhancing the cooler seal. If youre heading out this evening, most of the showers to the north clearing, there will be a bit of rain again across the south east of england. Fresher behind the front by the end of the night. In england after a warm night. In england after a warm night. On sunday, a lot of fine weather to come. If youve got events planned, they shouldnt be any great cause for interruption but it could be on the cool side. Disappointing in terms of temperatures on the north sea coasts. Still a feature was for northern scotland. 0ne coasts. Still a feature was for northern scotland. One or two across the Higher Ground of Northern England cant be ruled out, particularly targeting the pennines. To the south, 21 22. Then it looks like we will be keeping those fairly average temperatures into next week. No pronounced heatwave on the way but still a bit of dry weather on monday. Looking at some changes by the middle of the week whipping is becoming more unsettled and some showers in the story. With things becoming more unsettled. The game of thrones star, Emilia Clarke, is launching a campaign for improved treatment for young patients who suffer a stroke, after she experienced two life threatening aneurysms eight years ago. Speaking exclusively to bbc breakfast, the actor told us how she wants to see more specialist stroke teams in england, and more rehabilitation nurses trained. John maguire went to meet her. We have to go home. For the past eight years, one of the main characters in one of the worlds biggest Television Shows has been portrayed by Emilia Clarke. But after filming the first series of game of thrones, the actress best known as the mother of dragons, while still in her mid 20s, suffered two brain haemorrhages. She says recovery and rehabilitation was tough. It is something thats been perceived to happen to older people. Therefore, when youre a younger person experiencing it, theres a whole host of other kind of Mental Health aspects that largely go unnoticed. And thats what i care about incredibly deeply, because thats what i experienced as a young person who had it. As a result of her experience, through her charity, called sameyou, and as an ambassador for the Royal College of nursing, she wants to improve the care for younger stroke patients. Because i had an incredibly loving, supportive family and friendship group, and i had the incredible care of two specialist nurses, i got that whole aspect. And i saw where the gaps were, i saw where i needed to help myself, in that way. And so what i want to do, more than anything, is to be able to give young people who have a stroke the opportunity to have those for them as well. I put so much pressure on myself to be feeling normal, and it was that it was that strain that exhausted me more than anyone else. Its just this fear of, im not meant to be feeling like this. Im meant to be ok now. You have told me im 0k. Why dont i feel 0k still . And, if i could be able to help a young person who is in the same state that i was in, then i know that they would be able to be lifted and feel lighter in themselves, and thats just such a goal. Rightful heir to the iron throne. Earlier this year, her game of thrones co star Kit Harrington spoke out about how the end of the show had affected his Mental Health. Kit was incredibly open about how he felt at the end of the show, and hes brilliant at what he does because he feels that, because he put his heart and soul into it. So, yeah, encouraging that kind of behaviour across the board, i think, willjust make it better. She is ruling out any return to the long, blonde locks in any prequel that may be made. I think theres something thats beginning from much before, but i dont really know too much about it, because it wont be me. It wont be you . The heat is turning down a little bit, for sure. Which is lovely, because im hell bent on living a normal life. I sort of wont give that up for anything. A game of thrones star talking about such an important issue. I didnt know anything about that story. Also just to highlight it for younger people because we associate strokes with older people. Time now for a look at the newspapers. Anne marie imafidon, who campaigns to get more girls engaged with science, is here to tell us whats caught her eye. Borisjohnson is set for a landslide win in the race for number 10, suggests a poll in the times. The paper also features a story about one of britians richest and most powerful figures, who has been granted secrecy orders, preventing details of alleged Sexual Harassment and assault claims becoming public. The paper has blacked out the name of the person involved. The daily mirror leads on our top story, which is that killers who refuse to reveal the whereabouts of bodies could be denied parole. The guardian reports that universities are failing to tackle endemic racism against students and staff. The paper also features a picture of 15 year old coco gauff celebrating her victory at wimbledon yesterday. And a picture of Serena Williams and andy murray practising for their highly anticipated first mixed doubles appearance at wimbledon makes the front of the telegraph. Isnt mike saying that game might happen this evening . Ann marie, lovely to have you with us. We are talking about language exams. 0ur children not choosing to learn second languages . The sign up is down 30 over five years for french and spanish gcse. We are finding students are opting not to take language exams, even though its an option they have because they dont fee
