BBCNEWS Breakfast July 2, 2024



he still is one of the most important people in my life, as he has been for the last, like, 20 years. good morning. there is some sunshine today but there are also some heavy downpours, some of which will be thundery. although it will not be as windy as yesterday, the wind will still be fairly blustery, especially in the south. good morning. it's tuesday, the 14th of november. rishi sunak�*s newly formed cabinet will meet today, after a reshuffle which saw him sack suella braverman as home secretary, and appoint the former prime minister david cameron as foreign secretary. mr sunak�*s new team is facing a series of challenging issues at home and abroad, as well as a potential rebellion from unhappy mps within their own party. hannah miller has the latest developments. rishi sunak reaching out for help from a former prime minister. david cameron back in the corridors of power and already keeping busy, meeting the indian foreign minister on his first day in the newjob, and speaking to his us counterpart, secretary blinken. morning, sir. do you have any regrets about the greensill lobbying? but his private meetings since leaving the office of prime minister have led some to raise questions, lobbying the government on behalf of collapsed finance firm greensill capital, showing a significant lack ofjudgement, according to a parliamentary committee, a matter david cameron insists is in the past. as far as i'm concerned, that is all dealt with and in the past and i now have onejob as britain's foreign secretary, as part of rishi sunak�*s team to try and make sure this country can be as secure and as prosperous in a difficult and dangerous world. at the lord mayor's banquet, always a forum for foreign policy, the prime minister said his new foreign secretary will build on the achievements of the past year. these are deeply challenging times for our world. events far beyond our shores echo here at home, with implications for our security, our economy, and our very social fabric. it falls to us to do everything we can to shape these events. we will shortly be heading to buckingham palace to see her majesty the queen, where i'll tender my resignation as prime minister. opposition parties have been quick to ask whether bringing back a prime minister who office seven years ago, is really the fresh start rishi sunak claims to offer. the prime minister promised change, and one thing this reshuffle isn't is change. it won't change the fundamental problems of the country. it won't do anything to fix the cost of living, or nhs waiting lists. and the only way to get real change is to get rid of this failed tory government. well, it doesn't sound like change that rishi sunak told us— he's going to give, - it sounds like desperation. and frankly, he really can't appoint someone to the house _ of lords quite that easily. but there are a number of other ministers in new roles at the cabinet table this morning. the former foreign secretary, james cleverly, is now home secretary, replacing suella braverman. victoria atkins becomes health secretary, replacing steve barclay, who's been moved to environment secretary. that's after therese coffey was sacked, demoted to the backbenches after serving not so long ago as deputy prime minister under liz truss. and so, with a new team in place, rishi sunak is making his mark on downing street. but as he tilts slightly towards the centre in what he hopes will be an appeal to the country, will his party unite behind him? hannah miller, bbc news. we are going to speak to henry zeffman in westminster. before we do, let's remind ourselves of his reaction yesterday morning on breakfast just reaction yesterday morning on breakfastjust before nine o'clock when all of this was breaking. i'm a bit tired but i don't think i have had a funny turn. let me just tell you what has happened. david cameron hasjust tell you what has happened. david cameron has just walked tell you what has happened. david cameron hasjust walked up tell you what has happened. david cameron has just walked up the street and gone into number 10 downing street. i think that means he is going to be the new foreign secretary. he has had a lie down and he was correct. hadjoins he has had a lie down and he was correct. had joins us now. have you managed to get your head around all of this yet? what do you make of it? not really. when david cameron walks up not really. when david cameron walks up the street this morning for the cabinet meeting i think it will be almost as surreal, of course not quite as surreal as it was yesterday. it's amazing, really. david cameron, lord cameron, as we will first have to get used to calling him, was fast to work yesterday. he met the indian foreign minister, assuming he would meet james cleverly. instead he got a former pmi. last night he had a phone call with antony blinken, the us secretary of state, when they talked about the israel — hamas war, all the serious issues. i do wonder whether in the long actually the most consequential, if not the most attention grabbing thing happened yesterday, might be rishi sunak�*s decision to sack suella braverman as home secretary. tomorrow the supreme court will rule on the legality of the government's flagship rwanda policy. of course, until yesterday, that was on suella braverman�*s injury, a big part of her pitch to reduce illegal immigration and the number of people coming on small boats across the english channel. suella braverman, very quiet yesterday, very contained, very controlled. but that means i think we will get her full fault and the government, the government's approach to immigration, on the rwandan policy, and perhaps on what more they should do, tomorrow after that ruling. you can already see your knees from conservative mps on the right of the conservative party about rishi sunak�*s decision to sack suella braverman. —— knees. whatever happens with david cameron, lord cameron, among conservative mps battle lines are being drawn. thank you. we will be back with henry throughout the programme. we will also speak to the new conservative party chair, richard holden, and labour's rachel reeves, to make out what they make of the reshuffle. now sally has more of the news. both the uk and the united states have stepped up their appeals to israel to do more to protect hospitals and civilians during its offensive in gaza. president biden told reporters at the white house that he hoped for less intrusive action around al—shifa, the biggest hospital in the besieged territory, which is struggling with critically low supplies of fuel and water. our middle east correspondent tom bateman is injerusalem. tom, will this increasing pressure make any difference to israel's strategy? no, i don't think so. what we are seeing at the moment are witnesses talking about israeli tanks and armoured vehicles close to al—shifa hospital made what doctors have described to us as very intense bombardment and activity in that area around the last 48 hours. medical staff there were in their view, describe it as being under siege. now, the issue here is that there are at least 2000, possibly up to 3000, patients and staff, displaced people, all of that very large compound. it has become the focal point of this war. that is because the israelis allege that hamas has a tunnel system under the hospital, uses it as a command post. medical staff and hamas themselves have bitterly denied that and called for an independent investigation. israel is bringing this war to the hospitals in the north of gaza. that is why all of them but one are out of action, effectively. and there is this very, very grave situation. as for the humanitarian crisis across the gaza strip, because of course it is notjust the north, those who have evacuated to the south are under more pressure now, it seems, thatis under more pressure now, it seems, that is because the united nations are warning that the fuel reserves are warning that the fuel reserves are so depleted, it is affecting the supply chain. so the relief supplies getting into the rough crossing into gaza, they can't now distribute from today. —— the rafah crossing. 200,000 people in the south don't have access to clean drinking water. tom, thank you. tom bateman life in jerusalem. one of the killers of two—year—old james bulger will start a parole hearing today, to decide whether he'll be released from jail. jon venables — who was ten at the time of the murder in 1993 — was recalled to prison in 2017, after child abuse images were found on his computer. his last parole application, in 2020, was rejected. judith moritz reports. this is the last public photograph ofjon venables taken when he was ten, frozen in time in 1993. but 30 years have passed since the crime which made him notorious, and he's grown into adulthood with a new identity. venables and his friend robert thompson were at this shopping centre on merseyside, skipping school and causing trouble, when they came across two—year—old james bulger, who'd wandered off from his mum. the boys snatched the toddler and led him away. these images on cctv became infamous, the older children holding the younger boy's hand as they took him out of the shopping centre and on a long walk, before brutally murdering him. the boys stood trial in an adult court, venables sobbing as their crimes were described as evil and barbaric. they were driven away to begin long prison sentences, and were given new names before being released on licence after turning 18. butjon venables has spent adulthood in and out ofjail after images of child abuse were twice found on his computer. he's been in prison since 2017, and now a parole hearing will decide whether he can be released again. it will happen behind closed doors, so experts like psychologists, psychiatrists, prison staff, and perhaszon venables himself, will provide evidence to that parole board meeting, in order to say that he is safe to go back into society. james bulger�*s mother has previously said she doesn't wantjon venables to be released. the parole board's decision may not be known for two weeks. judith moritz, bbc news. health bosses in england say hospitals are having to shelve plans for extra winter beds because of financial problems. the warning by nhs providers comes after the treasury rejected pleas for an extra £1 billion, to cover the cost of strikes during the past 11 months. the government has said planning for the winter is on track. investigations are continuing into what caused a house fire that killed five members of the same family in west london. three children were among the victims in the terraced property in hounslow, which caught fire on sunday evening. the met office has warned that a week's worth of rain could fall in just a few hours across southern england today. it's issued a yellow weather warning, which comesjust a day after other parts of the uk, such as whitehaven, in cumbria, which you can see here, were battered by storm debi. applications have opened for xl bully owners to register their dogs before the breed is made illegal. those who wish to keep them must apply to an exemption scheme, or they can choose to have their dog put down, and apply for compensation. the boss of mcdonalds in the uk will be questioned by mps later, over allegations of a toxic workplace culture at the fast food chain. it follows a bbc investigation in which more than 100 current and recent staff alleged sexual assault, harassment, racism and bullying. zoe conway has more. mcdonald's does, 100%, have a problem with sexual harassment. it'sjust disgusting behaviour, and it's meant to be a friendly environment, and it's not. actually, i would get really upset about going in to work, - and i would cry a lot before my shift. - why should we have to go to work in fear? more than 100 current and recent mcdonald's workers from across the uk told the bbc about a toxic workplace culture in its restaurants, including sexual harassment, bullying, sexual assault and racism. the chief executive of mcdonald's, alistair macrow, called the allegations personally and professionally shocking. he will be questioned by mps later this morning. anna, not her real name, was 19 when she worked at a mcdonald's in the west midlands. she says she was sexually assaulted by a colleague, and that he was back on shift alongside her within a matter of days. i just felt as though they don't really care about staff on the floor level. i think if they were committed to looking after their staff and keeping them safe, something more would have been done about it. i just really felt like, worthless to them. if you were on that select committee, if you were sat there as one of the mp5, questioning the chief executive, what do you think you would ask him? why do hq not have more of a hold on their franchises and the way they run things and the way they handle complaints? 90% of mcdonald's restaurants are run by franchises. the ceo is likely to be asked how he's holding them to account and ensuring that staff are kept safe from harassment. in a statement, alistair macrow, ceo of mcdonald's uk and ireland, told the bbc... mcdonald's is notjust being questioned in parliament. the company is also facing legal action by a group of ex employees. zoe conway, bbc news. residents of an icelandic town struck by hundreds of earthquakes in a single day have been allowed to make brief visits

volcanic eruption. king charles is celebrating his 75th birthday today. there will be ceremonial gun salutes across the uk, and the king will be carrying out engagements, including hosting a gathering of nhs nurses and midwives. he'll also launch a new project, which aims to tackle food poverty and reduce waste. hgppy happy birthday to his majesty. those of us who watched kids' tv in the 19705 and 805, will remember the fun of an emu causing havoc on camera. well, here's the 21st century version. this is rodney, a real emu who was caught on a doorbell camera in kent. he managed to push the button with his beak after escaping from another home nearby. bless him, hejust wanted bless him, he just wanted to get in and have a cup of tea maybe. as you can see, rodney was soon safely escorted back to his owners. go home, rodney. much better behaved than the emu are a memberfrom the 70s and than the emu are a memberfrom the 705 and 805. how do you catch anaemia? 17 minutes past six. let's

that takes us into tomorrow. again, looking fairly cloudy across scotland, northern ireland for a time, into northern ireland, down towards the north midlands, and parts of east anglia. also, some showery rain. 0n either side of it we are looking at sunshine and isolated showers with temperatures seven to 13 degrees. even as we head towards the end of the week, the temperatures are going to be up and down, but it remains unsettled with rain and showers at times. thank you. let's take a look at today's papers. the front pages are dominated by the news that david cameron — now lord cameron — is back in the cabinet. the guardian calls the former prime minister's appointment as foreign secretary a "shock return". the sun leads with the headline "recall me dave". it also says that the former home secretary suella braverman was "brutally fired". the mirror goes with "back where we began", reporting that rishi sunak has been accused of "desperation" for bringing lord cameron back into government. and the times says cameron has been brought back "from the wilderness". was he in the wilderness? he was in a caravan living in the cotswolds. not really a caravan. this is a slightly upgraded version of the transport. a ferrari has sold in new york for nearly $51.7 million, which isjust over £42 million. it's the second highest sum ever paid for a car at auction. the gto from 1962

this piece in the times. researchers columbia university in new york have done a research and have a say it is better for your mental health to whole stuff back. to know something that you don't tell other people. it has to be a happy secret, i'm guessing. yes. but apparently you feel empowered. you sound like you might have a secret, jon. i'm feeling good! if i am holding something ifeel guilty. i something i feel guilty. i feel something ifeel guilty. i feel giddy something ifeel guilty. ifeel giddy and i have something ifeel guilty. i feel giddy and i have to tell people. most people, we are terrible, you just have to say it. we need to learn a new skill. hold it all back. and feel better. time now for a story about a friendship forged on the sets of the harry potter films, between the star actor daniel radcliffe and his stunt double david holmes. the pair were already close and then, when david broke his neck during a stunt, they formed a lifelong bond, which is explored in a new documentary. lizo mzimba has been speaking to them both. my first day's work was being the world's first quidditch player. we put a broomstick on the back of a truck and drove it down the runway at leavesden studios with chris columbus looking down a camera lens, whooping and hollering, saying, "yes, i think this is how we're going to do quidditch." the teenage david holmes became daniel radcliffe's stand—in for the movies, doing stunts deemed too risky for the film's young star. but in 2009, while rehearsing for the seventh film, david was badly injured and permanently paralysed from the chest downwards. he's now the subject of a documentary about his life after the accident. how did it feel reflecting on the last ten, 15 years? ijust want to be honest, you know. and honestly, yeah, living with a broken neck is hard. but i've said before, breaking my neck made a man of me. and looking back, i'm very grateful that i've managed to retain my sense of self. the documentary details how he's found such positivity, thanks to his strong personality and a close group of friends surrounding h
