to see yourself in that space. women's football is not there yet, unfortunately. and as proud as we're to be a part of this growing thing and women's football progressing unfortunately, it's not diversifying. for us black women and women of colour need to know that they can play that game and they can show up and take space onto the pitch and be a part of that. unfortunately, you look at premier league teams like arsenal women who the majority are white. all of them in the first team are white. it's something we're trying to change and we're trying to create space for women and non—binary people who just want to be able to be a part of that community and team. i think what is amazing is that sense it started with that over 300 people on a waiting list to join. with that over 300 people on a

fiona lamdin has been speaking to some of the families. i can't remember a thing for more than five seconds — then it's out of my mind. no one sees what it's like for a girl to have adhd and be... no one believing her. she needs the medication. and it's like now i'm running out and i'm scared. izzy! what? is this your uniform for tomorrow, yeah? yeah. laura is desperate. due to a national shortage of adhd medication, her 12—year—old daughter, izzy, has had to go without her prescription. she's missed a lot of school learning. suspended every day. she comes home, she's in tears. she does not sleep. she cuts up clothes. she will make herself drinks. she will pour washing up liquid in the drinks. laura needs out but can't get from the hospital. i ring this three or four times a day.

i've left several messages. or it willjust ring, ring, ring and says "leave a message." like it's doing now? yeah. and that is what i get all day, every day. in devon, 16—year—old lox was diagnosed with adhd when he was seven. since then, he's been on strong medication. it does feel like there's two different people. one of them is on my meds and one of them isn't on it. but, this christmas, due to the shortage, lox temporarily had to go without his medication. i hate the feeling of being off them because it's something that i know can harm other people and has harmed other people. do you trust yourself when you're not on medication? not really, no. the shortage has been driven by an increase in demand, combined with packaging production challenges, according to the main adhd drug manufacturer. the company told us supply issues are likely to remain into april. meanwhile, every month, his mum charlotte has to fight to find his prescription. one day... for last month, i rang 12 pharmacies in one day.

you playing much football? yeah. this is a really important year because he's got his gcses. how hard is that for you right now — not being confident that there is a steady supply of medication each month? i lose sleep. i stress, i cry. it's a frightening, frightening time. i'm a bird! ka—caw! back in london, izzy is hoping a new school will be a new chapter. if she hasn't got that medication, i don't know what i'm going to do. once i run out of these, i'm getting the wild child back, and i'm dreading it. the department of health told us they have taken swift action to improve supplies. but since our filming, both izzy and lox have struggled, as they've had yet more time without their medication. fiona lamdin, bbc news.

richey sunak paid more than half £1 million last year on total earnings of more than to point to £9 million. the prime minister played uk tax on his salaries and mp, his minister his salaries and mp, his minister his salary come interests with savings from the us bank and investment gains on a us based fund. it is a second time he's publishes tax returns at the first promising he would do so during his campaign to be the conservative leader. mr rishi sunak is thought to be one of the richest mps. let's get more on the richest mps. let's get more on the breaking news in the last hour, the breaking news in the last hour, the metropolitan police believe the man wa nted wanted for a chemical attack and so funding is dead. in the past hour, police said their main working hypothesis was abdul shokoor ezedi had "gone into" the river thames.. but no body has yet been found. we can talk to former chief superintendent with the metropolitan police. welcome here to the program.

in terms of your reaction to this development we had in last 60 minutes or so.— minutes or so. there are three workin: minutes or so. there are three working theories, _ minutes or so. there are three working theories, one - minutes or so. there are three working theories, one abdul i minutes or so. there are three . working theories, one abdul ezedi had gone overboard for that which is highly unlikely. one of the theories that he's been held and kept and supported that's why the police offered £20,000 reward to try and flush them out. the final was he took his own life. it appears he has committed suicide. although nobody has been found. we committed suicide. although nobody has been found.— has been found. we were going throu~h has been found. we were going through what — has been found. we were going through what the _ has been found. we were going through what the working - has been found. we were going - through what the working assumptions were from that briefing from the metropolitan police for that we're looking at cctv footage on our screen. just give me an idea of how big a task that would have been over the last nine days just scouring through hours and hours of tape from so many different cameras. this would have _ so many different cameras. this would have taking _ so many different cameras. try 3 would have taking a large stock many hours was that the police would've thrown the kitchen sink and trying

to find... as you know the story went from a simple manhunt to a political story because there were concerns about how abdul ezedi had gained asylum. it's us story that never left the front pages. i think the police would've put all the resources in the air. a normal man, you're looking at telephone identification, cctv, intelligence sources i think all of those were exhausted. they rated a number of properties in new castle and we can now see the theory the police are fairly confident to share with the public is that he was seen on cctv going onto the bridge and never seen leaving the bridge. the assumption was that at some stage, it doesn't appear to have been captured by cctv, etc he went into the river thames for that we know people are going to the river tame, there's so many currents there is not unusual for bodies not to be found for a long time put up on occasion

somebodyjoke about it all. i think they'll be looking at all of those theories but at the moment that seems to be the most conductive theory. seems to be the most conductive theo . ., ., ., , theory. you said in that answer -olice theory. you said in that answer police and _ theory. you said in that answer police and now— theory. you said in that answer police and now happy - theory. you said in that answer police and now happy to - theory. you said in that answer police and now happy to share| theory. you said in that answer- police and now happy to share their working hypothesis, share the cctv. i want to put on the screen, this is the first time that this video has been released by police. on the left of the screen this is chelsea bridge, this is the crucial bit of cctv that police have spent hours. he just walked off screen there. will put it on a loop and show it because there he is on chelsea bridge. there he is on the left. that is what they spent so much time focusing on to actually establish that he was there on the bridge and then they have not been able to establish him getting off the bridge, leaving the bridge. they talk about her walking with purpose

forfour talk about her walking with purpose for four miles to the thames, to the chelsea bridge for that they've got behavioural scientists involved and i will ask you about that in a moment. they say it his behaviour change when he got on the bridge. there he is arriving at chelsea bridge. interesting that they brought in behavioural scientists with the how common is something like that? is that part and parcel of this size and nature?- like that? is that part and parcel of this size and nature? yes, it is hiahl of this size and nature? yes, it is highly unusual — of this size and nature? yes, it is highly unusual to _ of this size and nature? yes, it is highly unusual to have _ of this size and nature? yes, it is highly unusual to have a - highly unusual to have a psychologist or behavioural scientist involved. the fact that the police were under so much pressure to find abdul ezedi with mean they looked at every single opportunity. i've seen interviews with the afghan community, i've seen police speaking to places of worship, they been doing this in london and in new castle. i think we

need to get police credit because they have worked incredibly hard to try and identify. if you got into the river, which it seems on the very first night all of those things would have been very important. ultimately, they were never going to find abdul ezedi, he appears to have gone into the river thames. fin find abdul ezedi, he appears to have gone into the river thames.- gone into the river thames. on an investigation _ gone into the river thames. on an investigation of _ gone into the river thames. on an investigation of this _ gone into the river thames. on an investigation of this size _ gone into the river thames. on an investigation of this size and - gone into the river thames. on an investigation of this size and we i investigation of this size and we nope hundreds of police officers have been of all, what happens now as you are saying, as the police are saying they don't have a body yet. what is likely to happen with the size and scale of this investigation?- size and scale of this investiaation? , ., ., investigation? the investigation will now focus _ investigation? the investigation will now focus on _ investigation? the investigation will now focus on london. - investigation? the investigation will now focus on london. it - investigation? the investigationj will now focus on london. it will investigation? the investigation i will now focus on london. it will be focused on body recovery. sometimes body recovery can be done in a short space and time for that whatever happens they will be a team to continue to work on this. the operation in new castle will be stood down and it will be entirely metropolitan police operation. perhaps looking at how they can get

additional resources into that area. as we found with the mother who went into the river, which was not as large as the river thames, sometimes it could take a long time to find bodies. certainly i've been in investigations where we haven't found bodies for weeks. our team will remain there in their main priority will be to recover the body. priority will be to recover the bod . ~ ., ., ., body. we have to leave it there. thank you _ body. we have to leave it there. thank you for— body. we have to leave it there. thank you forjoining _ body. we have to leave it there. thank you forjoining us - body. we have to leave it there. thank you forjoining us on - body. we have to leave it there. thank you forjoining us on the i thank you forjoining us on the program. since the year 2012 more than 300 dogsin since the year 2012 more than 300 dogs in the uk have died from an ailment called alabama rod, which manages blood vessels and kidneys. not much is known about the disease — including what causes it — but now a group of vets in hampshire has published a study following years of research. our correspondent duncan kennedy reports. betsy by name, bouncy by nature.

the golden coloured pet who was the beating heart of family life. she was just a lovely, lovely dog. a two—year—old cocker spaniel who had bundles of energy. hannah was devastated by the loss of betsy. memories overwhelmed her. sorry... that wasn't normal walk, just that one day was a disaster. that disaster was _ one day was a disaster. that disaster was alabama - one day was a disaster. that disaster was alabama rod. l one day was a disaster. that disaster was alabama rod. a mysterious disease that dogs like betsy can pick up and can lead to

work is ongoing all the time and we are continuing to research. we have many theories as to what could be going on. for example, a bacteria or a toxin potentially in the environment, that these dogs are exposed to, that then leaves the disease developing. the initial symptoms of alabama rot can be seen in skin lesions on the feet, legs, chest and abdomen, usually followed by problems with the kidneys. some cases of alabama rot seem to be associated with woodland areas, especially between november and may when it's the wettest. owners are asked to check the feet of their dogs looking those lesion. anna still has bertie who is not a replacement for betsy but is a comfort. losing betsy to alabama rod or to heartache not unlike the daunting pain of grief. she or to heartache not unlike the daunting pain of grief. she was such a massive part _ daunting pain of grief. she was such a massive part of _ daunting pain of grief. she was such a massive part of my _ daunting pain of grief. she was such a massive part of my life, _ daunting pain of grief. she was such a massive part of my life, of - daunting pain of grief. she was such a massive part of my life, of all - a massive part of my life, of all our lives. to lose her so young and

in such a tragic way was really tough. duncan kennedy, bbc news. one more story, a great story. a french model—maker who was denied recognition by guinness world records for his attempt to create the tallest matchstick eiffel tower, has been told the decision has been reversed. richard plaud said he'd been on an emotional roller—coaster after his seven metre model was rejected for using the �*wrong matches'. it had taken him eight years to complete, using more than 700,000 matches and litres of glue. guinness now say they were too harsh, as hugh scofield in paris explains. he thought he'd done it. after eight years of work, and 700,000 matches, richard plaud was ready for the guinness book of records. but then the hammer blow. he had used the wrong kind of matches. instead of using shop—bought matches and scraping off the sulphur, he had bulk—bought matches from the manufacturer, without the sulphur tips, and for that, his tower was disqualified. translation: it has been | an emotional roller-coaster.

i mean, for eight years, i always thought that i was building the tallest matchstick structure. at the end of those eight years, the decision made by the guinness book of records, i found it too strict and cruel. it felt incomprehensible. but now, a new twist. the guinness book has relented. the condition that matches have to be shop—bought is now regarded as overly restrictive. like i say, we are happy to be able to admit that we were a little bit too harsh on the type of matches needed in this attempt, and richard's attempt truly is officially amazing. and so, all�*s well that ends well. effort is rewarded and this is the biggest ever matchstick eiffel tower. it is official. hugh schofield, bbc news in paris. well, good to end with the story to make you smile. thank you so much for watching us, hopefully i will see you at the same time on monday.

bye for now. hello there, the snow that's now falling is restricted to the hills of scotland. elsewhere, well, we've seen some rain around that has led to some flooding. this is the picture earlier on in cambridgeshire. together with the heavy rain, of course, there's been some snow melt, and that's why there are so many flood warnings. most of the flood warnings still across the midlands and southern england. the numbers may drop this weekend. it looks like it should be turning a bit drier. at the moment, though, this weather front is pushing torthwards, taking wetter weather northwards, particularly into scotland. and this is where we've got the last of the colder air. elsewhere, we've seen temperatures rising in the milder air as it's moved its way northwards. this was the picture earlier on in staffordshire. now, if i show you the radar picture. the blue is rain, so we've got these bands of rain moving northwards again. and the snow, the white there, sleet and snow getting restricted to scotland, and increasingly that's becoming confined to highland and grampian,

where above about 300m there could be 20cm snow, so it is quite high elevations. we've got some rain elsewhere and the strong easterly wind that we've had will gradually ease overnight. but we'll see some further rain moving across northern england, into southern scotland and over northern ireland. england and wales actually turning drier and clearer. it could be a little bit chillier in the south than it was last night. all depends on the amount of cloud and mist and fog as well. and we could see some of that mist and fog through the midlands heading towards lincolnshire for a while. otherwise, some sunshine coming through, some sunshine for northern england this time, and northern ireland and eventually across southern scotland as it turns drier. what's left of any rain, sleet and snow is really in the far north of the country. there will be some showers much further south, most of those into south—west england and south wales. those temperatures continuing to rise and getting up to 7 degrees widely in scotland on saturday. the last of the cold air away from northern scotland is getting moved away by that weather front. things will be much brighter in the north—west of scotland. still got low pressure close by for sunday, could be a bit of rain actually

running northwards up these north sea coasts. otherwise, some sunshine breaking through the cloud eventually, leading to a scattering of showers in the west and the south, nothing particularly heavy. still quite gusty winds through the english channel. otherwise, the winds will be lighter. temperatures continuing to rise in scotland. but further south, it may turn a little cooler.

today at six: police believe the london chemical attack suspect abdul ezedi is probably dead after going into the river thames. officers say it's likely

he went into the water, but that no body has been found. also tonight, prince harry settles his phone hacking claim against mirror group newspapers, and hits out at then editor piers morgan, saying he knew what was going on. the greatest show on turf — but are super bowl fans more excited about the game, or taylor swift? and... red, yellow — and now blue? there may be another sanction for bad behaviour on the football pitch. on bbc london, we will have more on the news that the suspect in the clapham chemical attack went into the river thames, and is believed to be dead. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six.

police say they believe the london chemical attack suspect
