valdo calocane admitted the manslaughter of ian coates, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, and was handed a hospital order. the attorney general says that was unduly lenient. duncan kennedy reports. barnaby webber, grace o'malley—kumar and ian coates were killed in nottingham lastjune. and ian coates were killed barnaby and grace have been walking home after a night out barnaby and grace had been walking home after a night out when they were stabbed. ian coates was stabbed in a different location in the city. three other people were struck by a van. they were all attacked by valdo calocane, who admitted manslaughter. he was given a hospital order after he was found to be suffering from paranoid schizophrenia at the time. but that sentence is now to be referred to the court of appeal after the attorney general intervened. victoria prentis said the nation have been shocked by the case and that...

members of the victims�* families yesterday met the attorney general in private and said afterwards they were glad of her decision. i did cry. i think it's been a very long, very difficult... well, since it happened injune, but particularly the last few weeks, it's been very publicly done. i think there was a sense of being listened to. and the fact that we were online with the coates family and the o'malley—kumar family, there's just a real sense of the beginning of hopefully justice being done here. the court of appeal will now look at the case under what's called the unduly lenient sentence scheme. the judges can keep the sentence as it is, increase it or refuse the attorney general�*s application. the victims�* families say the current sentence doesn't reflect the planning or premeditation

of the attacks and that a hospital order was insufficient. they say they hope the court of appeal will provide some of what they call appropriate justice. duncan kennedy, bbc news. we'll be speaking to barnaby webber�*s family at just after eight o'clock this morning. nowjon has more of the date�*s news. the nhs in england will begin to introduce martha's rule from april giving access to rapid critical care reviews if a patient�*s condition worsens in hospital. the scheme is named after 13—year old martha mills, who died from sepsis when doctors failed to respond to her parents�* concerns. our health correspondent, sophie hutchinson, reports. it was in 2021 at king's college hospital in london that martha's parents went through the agony of watching their daughter deteriorate while their concerns were ignored by staff.

she'd fallen off her bike, injured her pancreas and developed sepsis. but she never received the life—saving treatment she needed. merope mills, her mother, has fought hard for this initiative, martha's rule, and says it will save lives. since martha's death, i've said to people who've gone into hospital, if you're worried, if you think something is going wrong, you should scream the ward down because that's what i didn't do. and i regret it, i will regret it for the for the rest of my days. but the very existence of martha's rule says you don't need to scream the ward down. what you need to do is call this number because you've got martha's rule. martha's rule will be an escalation process in england, which will allow patients, families and nhs staff to call for a rapid review from an independent critical care team 2a hours a day if they want an urgent second opinion. nhs england says at least 100 hospitals, that's two thirds

of those with critical care units, can now apply for funding for awareness schemes, which may include printing posters and information leaflets. but questions remain about whether the initiative will be standardised across hospitals and if it will continue to be called martha's rule. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. mps will vote later on the snp's call for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. the government wants an "immediate humanitarian pause", but the snp has accused israel of war crimes and says the only way to protect civilians is for the fighting to end now. our chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. henry, the wording is quite complicated, isn't it, all of these different motions and amendments, there is some confusion but essentially, what is the

significance of this vote today? what this vote will do today, in fact, what it already has done, is force the political parties to write down in parliamentary language what their positions are on the conflict playing out in israel and gaza. so the snp, who have started all this and brought this mission, their position is that there should be an immediate ceasefire. the labour party in response, the labour party bearin party in response, the labour party bear in mind has had more divisions than some other political parties on this issue, the labour party for the first time with its own amendment has said that they chew back what they called an immediate humanitarian ceasefire but much more emphasis from the labour party on both sides of the conflict, they say that israel cannot be expected to cease firing until they have assurances that hamas will lay down their weapons as well. the government has tabled its own

amendment, they talk about and immediate humanitarian pause, they raise the same concerns about the potential ground invasion in rafah as labour and the snp but their languages softer. so that is significant, parliamentary procedure could obligate things. it's possible the labour amendment will not be voted on at all at which point labour's new found unity on this might fracture because some of their mps might want to vote for the snp motion. that is a matterfor parliamentary procedure to dictate. whether anybody in the middle east cares about this game of westminster linguistic gymnastics is another question altogether. interesting, thank yom _ a test firing of a trident missile from a royal navy submarine has failed for the second time in a row. the ministry of defence has insisted that the system used to carry britain's nuclear warheads remains "safe, secure and effective." our correspondent louisa

pilbeam joins us now. louisa, do we know what has gone wrong? louisa, do we know what has gone wron: ? ~ ., g ., louisa, do we know what has gone wronu? ~ louisa, do we know what has gone wron.? ~ 4' ., louisa, do we know what has gone wronu? ~ ~ ., ., wrong? morning, jon. we know that this is an embarrassing _ wrong? morning, jon. we know that this is an embarrassing incident. - wrong? morning, jon. we know that this is an embarrassing incident. it i this is an embarrassing incident. it also a concerning incident for the british government, and the royal navy. that's because we are talking about our nuclear weapons, our last line of defence. so what happens then? during a testjust off of the us coast, a british submarine was meant to fire an unarmed missile in this test, and it was meant to land in the middle of the atlantic ocean between brazil and the west coast of africa. but it landed right by that submarine, on board that submarine was the uk defence secretary grant shapps and the head of the royal navy. and this is the second time that this test has failed. so the

ministry of defence, i have spoken to this morning, have said to be that they admit that there was an anomaly as they put it during this test but they say they are confident in the trident system as a whole. they say there are no implications in their words for the reliability of the wider trident missile systems and what they are effectively saying is that if this was in reality, it would not have happened, it was to do with the fact that it was a test. because this is in the public domain, no doubt the prime minister might face questions on this today because we have got prime minister's questions at midday today. we may well find out more about this. it will be a busy day in westminster. thank you. administrators for the body shop have announced that up to half of its 198 stores will close with some already seeing their shutters closed for good. let's get more on this now. nina has the details.

once a high street trailblazer, the body shop enjoyed the smells of growing success through the 19805 to the noughties. but up to half of their 198 stores will now close in order to, quote, "reenergise the brand." seven stores shut up shop yesterday, four in london where overheads are highest. the shutters also came down in nuneaton, bristol and ashford in kent. it's not clear what exactly will happen to all the 2,200 or so employees in the uk. the remaining shops and website are expected to continue trading and overseas franchsises aren't affected. but body shop at home was already being wound up, and the subsequent ambassadors network will cease trading. there will be some relief that this iconic brand has survived in some form, but concerns remain about what comes next. especially for some staff still waiting to learn their fate. hundreds of people have been forced to leave their homes in the keyham area of plymouth after what's

thought to be an unexploded second world war bomb was found in a garden. police say a 200 metre cordon could be in place for 36 hours, while bomb disposal experts try to make the device safe. junior doctors in wales will start a second round of industrial action over pay this morning. the 72—hour strike means thousands of appointments and operations have been cancelled. the doctors' union, the bma, says the welsh government's offer of a 5% increase is the worst in the uk. people who work with children in england and wales are to be given a new duty to report evidence of child abuse. mandatory reporting was a key recommendation of the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse, and failure to comply could result in being barred from working with children. a pioneering european satellite is set to fall back down to earth later today. the second earth remote sensing

satellite, described as one of the "grandfathers of earth observation", has been gradually descending since it stopped operating in 2011, and will finally fall into the earth's atmosphere some time today. don't worry, sally! i'm not worried, carol is here _ don't worry, sally! i'm not worried, carol is here and _ don't worry, sally! i'm not worried, carol is here and she _ don't worry, sally! i'm not worried, carol is here and she will— don't worry, sally! i'm not worried, carol is here and she will tell - don't worry, sally! i'm not worried, carol is here and she will tell us - carol is here and she will tell us more about the weather on the way down. it will burn up in the atmosphere. it down. it will burn up in the atmosphere.— down. it will burn up in the atmosphere. it is a two tonne satellite- _ atmosphere. it is a two tonne satellite. it _ atmosphere. it is a two tonne satellite. it is _ atmosphere. it is a two tonne satellite. it is going _ atmosphere. it is a two tonne satellite. it is going to - atmosphere. it is a two tonne | satellite. it is going to benefit atmosphere. it is a two tonne i satellite. it is going to benefit in the atmosphere, _ satellite. it is going to benefit in the atmosphere, am _ satellite. it is going to benefit in the atmosphere, am i _ satellite. it is going to benefit in the atmosphere, am i not - satellite. it is going to benefit inj the atmosphere, am i not right? satellite. it is going to benefit in i the atmosphere, am i not right? -- burn u- the atmosphere, am i not right? —— burn up in the atmosphere? yes, you are right. burn up in the atmosphere? yes, you are riuht. ~ . ., , ., ., are right. which means i am not! let's move _ are right. which means i am not! let's move on! _ it's pouring with rain, i don't know if you got drenched this morning but if you got drenched this morning but if you got drenched this morning but if you have not you will on your way home. it is pouring buckets this morning, heavy rain pushing north

and east today. it will brighten up behind it but there will be showers around and widespread gales. we have got a lot going on today. in the last few hours, this rain is piling in from the south—west, pushing north and east. some clearer skies ahead of it, variable cloud. that will not last. any brightness will be eradicated by the rain continuing to push north and east. gales and severe gales later in the northern isles, sunshine coming behind, but some showers around and in the north—west of scotland and they are going to be wintry in nature. it will be a mild day, seven to 13, above average for the time of year. new add on the strength of the wind, it will feel colder than these temperatures suggest. clear skies to start this evening, a band of rain pushing across the english channel and then a very active weather front comes in from the north—west. it is

pushing south—east. heavy showers on it, and behind it, we will see quite readily those falling as snow down to 200 metres in the highlands. you might find some disruption on the a9 for example tomorrow morning. still windy, overnight lows, temperatures are slipping in the south overnight. the active weather front pushes down towards the south—east tomorrow, windy in the south with gales and english channel, straits of dover, and it will be windy in east anglia. clearer skies behind but we could well see some wintry showers on the western hills. temperatures in the mid teams in the last few days, down to seven as the top temperature. we said it to seven as the top temperature. - said it was coming and here it is! thank you. i am still worried about the satellite. it says here most of

but in 2021, nick was feeling tired and increasingly unwell and needed to see a doctor himself. just kind of wondering what on earth could be going on. you know, at that stage, i had no idea what was about to unfold. i checked in and i came into this room. in fact, it was exactly this room. the tests showed he was developing a rare cancer. this is an irreversible marrow failure. and without a bone marrow transplant, this would be a terminal diagnosis. i was fully aware that i might die. so i made a will. never made a will before. i went home and i realised then i had to kind of break this news to my wife and my kids. and i don't think i really knew what i was going to say. but actually i felt saddest for my kids. like, i didn't want my kids to... i don't know, i didn't want them to grow the rest of their lives without their dad. nick's only hope of survival

was a stem cell transplant. and so the search began. we would search the uk register first and hopefully find a match here. if we're unable to find a match, then anthony nolan would search worldwide to find a match so your match could come from anywhere in the world. a full match was found from a donor in germany, but their details had to remain anonymous. as they took the stem cells, the donor had no idea whose life depended on them. nick had to wait for two years before knowing whether the transplant was successful. only then could he try and find out who the donor was. somebody else did something to save my life. like, that feels really emotional. the donor, hearing that nick wanted to meet, agreed to fly to the uk. now, two years since learning he had a potentially terminal cancer diagnosis,

nick was about to meet his saviour. lovely to see you. lovely to meet you. hi, marius. hi, i'm nick. i'm very overwhelmed. no, no, no, i'm shaking! i'm shaking, too. the cancer cells have all gone. and so when they, when they check my blood now, i mean, all of those blood cells belong to you. i would be dead if it wasn't for you. i've got four children. four? yeah. nice. — they wouldn't have their dad. i just really want to thank you for your... you're welcome. thanks. from germany to maggie's cancer

centre in newcastle. your cells kill the cancer. and 24—year—old marius recalls the moment he heard that the transplant had worked and that the patient he didn't even know had survived. after that information, all the tears comes out. i was on the way to my work and i had to park my car and get out and need fresh air, chill out. yeah. you have a lovely family. makes me really happy and emotional right now. and it was only in this moment that we learned something else. marius told us that he'd previously tried to take his own life and how, in a way, nick had helped save him. i struggled my whole life since i'm 13, with mental issues.

it's hard for me to find my way in life and my sense in life. so... just give me a sense in my life. yeah, i can say i did something right. two strangers who now have the same blood running through their veins. blood brothers and friends for life. sharon barbour, bbc news. wow! yes. what a story. two incredible _ wow! yes. what a story. two incredible men, _ wow! yes. what a story. two incredible men, brought i wow! yes. what a story. two i incredible men, brought together by fate, and essentially, it is like they have saved each other, it's incredible. fix, they have saved each other, it's incredible-— they have saved each other, it's incredible. �* ., ., , , incredible. a doctor who is so used to dealin: incredible. a doctor who is so used to dealing with _ incredible. a doctor who is so used to dealing with the _ incredible. a doctor who is so used to dealing with the most _ to dealing with the most heartbreaking pics durations. saving

belgian malinois, is one ofjust a handful of dogs in the uk qualified for thejob, as david lumb reports. meet luna. west midlands fire service's new and only search and rescue dog. luna is a bit of a live wire, really, iguess. she comes across very calm, but really she is a bit of a lunatic. after 18 months of training, luna is qualified to sniff out signs of life at anyjob she's sent to. there are very few of us in the uk. we're the only one in the west midlands. for the first couple of years she was very testing, quite destructive really. but as she's getting older now, she's settling into it really nice. there's nothing really we're coming across that we're having too many problems with now. as part of the international search and rescue association, she could be deployed across the globe, but her first job was closer to home, a landslip in worcester. there was a large garden wall and we were unsure whether someone was trapped underneath it.

it was quite a risky area. the wall was still unstable and she moved really well throughout. no signs of any fear or hesitation. so it was nice to see that the training had all paid off. the four year old's notoriety is growing as you can see from her social media profiles. we've got about 1700 followers and, yeah, we post all our training and things like that and she gets lots of likes and people asking questions and stuff about what we're doing and where we're going to. the service's previous search and rescue dog cara died of a heart condition six months ago. it hit everyone hard, but mick has no doubt luna will be a worthy successor. i think we were really quite spoilt with cara being so good and, you know, i think i'm a bit more experienced now and know it and i think i can, together, i think we can go and do some great stuff and i hope she follows in cara's footsteps. david lumb, bbc news.

in barking back in november meant hundreds of residents were banned from using their balconies. now, tests by the bbc has found some of the materials used to make the collapsed balcomy were more suitable for indoor use — including weak glue. atrocious. unforgivable. it's... you know, it beggars belief how people can build shoddily using the wrong materials. they used internal quality plywood on this building, something you use for building cupboards in your kitchen or your bedroom. bouygues uk said safety was its number one priority and that the design and materials were considered by consultants and approving authorities. it says the balconies on the estate were prefabricated offsite by a subcontractor and "the materials used may not be those that were specified in the design." several projects across the capital are set to receive a share of a £180,000

grant from historic england to help explore working—class heritage. one of the recipients is kingswood arts in south east london. where a permanent exhibition exploring the working class history of kingswood house in sydenham will be created. a statue of england captain harry kane has been hidden in storage for years because councillors in north london waltham forest council had the sculpture made of the footballer, supposedly sitting on a bench. they had planned to install it on a platform at chingford overground station. but the proposal was rejected following a risk assessment. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on all of the network. now, on to the weather. hello and good morning. an unsettled couple of days ahead. this morning starts

on a wet and windy note. so outbreaks of heavy, persistent rain for a time, clearing away, but staying cloudy and mild for the time of year. you can see the rain across the map, gradually clearing further towards the east. and, by the end of the day, the rain will be lighter and patchy in nature. but it stays windy. gusts of around a0 to 45 miles per hour coming in from the southwest. into the evening, though, it will become drier, staying quite cloudy, though. there will be some showery rain spreading up from the south at times. a couple of showers around. and temperatures holding up at around 8 or 9 celsius. but the winds will tend to ease. but, as we look ahead to thursday, it's quite a messy picture. we have this weather front, bring you some further heavy outbreaks of rain for a time. and, as it clears, because it's a cold front, it will turn a bit cooler —back to around average for the time of year by friday and into the weekend. so, as you can see, unsettled for the timebeing. wet and windy today, still quite mild. becoming cooler as the week progresses. that's your forecast for now. that's it from me.

i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. a bbc investigation has found that disrepair in nhs hospital buildings has caused hundreds of potentially—harmful incidents in england in the last financial year. events such as sewage leaks, floods and ceilings partially collapsing led to clinics being cancelled and patients sent home. our health editor, hugh pym, reports. ageing buildings, substandard materials and running repairs. but torbay hospital in devon is not an isolated case. similar issues are having a serious impact on patient care across england. a bbc investigation has revealed more than 1,300 potentially harmful incidents in hospitals last year, caused by failures in the hospital environment. they included sewage leaks, floods and broken heating systems.

this is queen elizabeth's hospital in kings lynn, built in parts using poor quality aerated concrete, known as raac, which sparked concerns last year that a ceiling could collapse. rebecca and her six—year—old daughter cleo go there frequently because of cleo's hypoglycemia. you want to feel like you can put all your trust into the hospital. and when you're seeing workmen and scaffolding and timber beams holding up roofs, it doesn't give you that sense of safety and security. but the roof was not rebecca's only concern. a year ago, she saw sewage leaking on hospital grounds. as we walked up to the door, we noticed a really foul smell and we looked down and there was sewage coming out of the manhole cover, which was about, i'd say, about four foot away from the door that leads into the hospital. as we stood there, and we could see the sewage, there was rats running around. a trust spokesman said it worked immediately to clear the blocked drain and that all work to reinforce

raac concrete is now complete. the department of health and social care said significant sums have been invested to upgrade and modernise nhs buildings, including £4.2 billion this financial year, adding that trusts are responsible for prioritising this funding to maintain and refurbish their premises — including the renewal and replacement of equipment. at torbay hospital in devon, the issue is how to prioritise so many problems, which can impact so many patients. the nhs confederation, which represents trusts, says in a new report today that the next government must boost investment to update crumbling hospital buildings and provide new equipment. hugh pym, bbc news. that is a story we will be talking about much more on the programme throughout the morning. now for the

sport. erling haaland making headlines again stop it is turning out to be one of the tightest title race is in years. manchester city are now back in the mix. a warning from the manager, do not criticise erling haaland. morning. the norwegian striker putting an end to brentford's stubborn resistance in this 1—0 win. and with it came that warning from pep guardiola, don't criticise haaland because he will make you eat your words. as a person, i was not a journalist, and i am not and i would not be. so to me, top scorer, striker, score a lot of goals, don't criticise him. because he will shut your mouth. what's wrong with being a journalist? for me? yeah, what's wrong with being a journalist? oh, i'm a manager.

my life is better than yours, so... laughter. so that's why i want to be a manager, i don't want to be a journalist, absolutely. there you go. he obviously prefers answering the questions rather than asking dan. —— van. sirjim ratcliffe's takeover of manchester united is officially rubber stamped last night. with it comes a vow to improve the club. the petrochemoicals billionaire, a lifelong united fan, said the efforts to bring success back to the club would accelerate from today, after the deal was ratified. the glazerfamily, who have owned united since 2005, retain a majority stake in the club but ratcliffe's ineos group will take control of football operations. arsenal, one of those sides in this thrilling title race, are in champions league action tonight. there were two more games

in the competition a former premier league striker made the headlines in italy. west ham striker marko arnautovic with the only goal of the game for inter milan to hold a slight advantage over atletico madrid — 1—0 it finished at the san siro. no winner in the other tie of the night, as psv eindhoven drew 1—1 with borussia dortmund. luuk dejong with psv�*s equaliser from the penalty spot. the second leg is in germany in three weeks' time. spare a thought for rio ferdinad though. the former manchester united player, who was flying out to porto to cover arsenal's champions league game later. only found himself on a flight full of arsenalfans. hello, guys. i just want to say it's been an absolute pleasure travelling with the arsenal fans. cheering. i must say, saka is a fantastic player, just not yet world—class just yet. just not world—class yet. he will be. he will be one day,

but just not yet. probably not the quietest flight he has had in his life. i think he had to say something complimentary about arsenal and their players, didn't he? it looks like kylian mbappe will be lining up for real madrid next season. widely regarded as one of the best players on the planet, he has agreed terms to join the 14—time winners after his contract at psg expires. he's informed the club he's leaving this summer, but hasn't signed his contract with real — believed to be five years, and worth almost £13 million a year. he's also set to receive a £128 million signing bonus. bit move. a springboard for a better run is how andy murray called his first win of the year. there was a huge outburst of emotion, as he beat france's alexandre muller in the first round of the qatar open. the victory coming at his fifth attempt of 202a.

he will play 18—year—old czech jakub mensik in the second round. yes, i mean, obviously, the last few months have been tough on the court for me. clearly, not won many matches and lost a lot of close ones as well. it was getting tight at the end. obviously, delighted to get through. it was great. so many people came to watch, for a first round, it was brilliant. thank you. he will be back again. and you know, in long jump, if you overstep your take off, it goes down as fouljump. well, could that be about to change? world athletics are planning a trial in long jmp, where you use a take off zone, instead of the traditional wooden board, to cut the amount of no—jumps. the idea to make everyjump count. in the trial, a jump will be measured from where the athlete's

front foot takes off to where they land in the pit instead. not everyone though thinks it will take off. i think it's going to be the same as any long jumper around the globe. just leave the event alone, you know. no—one's sitting at the these championships, watching events happen and going, "i wish they would do something different." i'm bored." it's all just very unpopular with athletes and public alike, as a mass. so i think it's just leave the event as it is. there you go. that is the debate. trying to encourage everyjump to council is girl about executing your take—off? some of the athletes think thatis take—off? some of the athletes think that is what is about. —— everyjump to count all is the skill?

here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. glad you are in here, carol. very windy. widespread gales today. with all the rain it is likely to exacerbate the flooding issues because the ground is already saturated. lots going on with the weather. today we are looking at heavy rain and widespread gales. later in the day as the rain pushes east it will brighten up. there will still be showers knocking around as well. this is the rain we have had in the last couple of hours. pushing north and east. in north—east scotland it is a dry start. the rain will continue to move north—east through the day. a windy day wherever you are. gusts of wind in land in excess of a0 mph. note how it brightens up. it will not dry up

completely. there will still be showers around. these black circles represent the strength of the wind gust. temperature wise, on the face of it, it does look like it will be a mild day. and on the elements, the wind and rain, and it will feel cooler than this. this evening and overnight for a time it will be dry. some when scooting across the english channel affecting some southern counties as well. an active weather front coming in from the north—west, pushing south eastwards. some heavy showers, potentially thunder and lightning. winteriness in the showers in the north, particularly in the highlands. you may well find in the morning there could be some disruption, on ea nine for example. temperatures for macro to 10 degrees north to south.

temperatures falling as we go through the course of the night. this is the offending weather front continuing to pull away. behind it the milder air, represented by the yellow colour. look how the blue returns. behind it cooler air follows him. he lot of wintry showers, on the hills in western scotland for example. they could be further south as well, potentially in north—west england. with all the rain around it is exacerbating the risk of flooding. look at the difference in their temperatures! we have lost the double—figure temperatures we have become used to of late. towards the end of the week, a lot of dry weather around but a lot of showers on friday. some of them could be wintry on the heels quit north to south, six to ten will be the temperatures. into the

weekend the low pressure pushes up into scandinavia. a ridge of high pressure across the uk. this could produce showery outbreaks of rain in the south—west on sunday. generally speaking there will be sunshine, a little bit of rain but there will be dry weather around as well at the weekend. . ~ dry weather around as well at the weekend. ., ,, ., ., ,, dry weather around as well at the weekend. ., ,, ,, , weekend. thank goodness it is coming back. mps will vote today on whether the uk should officially call for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. the motion was brought by the snp, which also tried to push for an end to the israel—gaza conflict back in november. stephen flynn, the snp's westminster leader, joins us now. good morning. there is a lot going on here. different motions and amendments to talk about. the wording is quite confusing for a lot of us. let's start by explaining your motion today. what is the snp

ensuring we had that immediate ceasefire in gaza itself.- ceasefire in gaza itself. there is still a difference _ ceasefire in gaza itself. there is still a difference between i ceasefire in gaza itself. there is still a difference between year, | still a difference between year, labour and some of the opposition parties at westminster. i know some cynics suggest that what you are trying to do, as the snp, exposed divisions within labour. that is part of what you do.— part of what you do. from the outset, part of what you do. from the outset. as _ part of what you do. from the outset. as i — part of what you do. from the outset, as i hopefully - part of what you do. from the | outset, as i hopefully outlined earlier, i have been very clear and consistent on this for months now. as soon as it became clear that the scale of the response by the israeli state with a collective punishment of the palestinian people, we were very clear we wanted to see a ceasefire happen. the only thing that has changed since then is among other political parties. i welcome the change by the labour party and those on the benches behind me. we do have that broad consensus now for

an immediate ceasefire. there is the odd word that is different. the key thing today is there will be a nation to be voted on in the name of the scottish national party in favour of an immediate ceasefire and i would welcome support from as many mps as possible because it is important westminster speaks with a clear voice for the safety and security of men, women and children in gaza, who are being bombarded and prevented from access to the daily essentials we all rely on. you prevented from access to the daily essentials we all rely on.— essentials we all rely on. you are sa in: essentials we all rely on. you are saying the _ essentials we all rely on. you are saying the odd — essentials we all rely on. you are saying the odd word _ essentials we all rely on. you are saying the odd word is _ essentials we all rely on. you are saying the odd word is different. | saying the odd word is different. birds count so much in a situation like this. the word humanitarian makes so much difference when it comes to a nation and an amendment. often viewers think why can't political parties just come together and agree stuff? if they cannot agree on westminster, how will there ever be an agreement in the middle

in gaza. thank you for “oining us here on breakfast. i if you've ever found it a little tricky to park a new car and blamed it on the car getting bigger, you mightjust have been on to something. ido i do not want to blame the fact on me getting bigger. some luxury suv models are now wider than the average off—street parking space, causing problems for a lot of people. nina's looking at this for us. good morning. is there anything worse than driving around car park, looking for a space and the car next to where it has edged over the line? bit triggering. deep breaths- _ edged over the line? bit triggering. deep breaths. my _ edged over the line? bit triggering. deep breaths. my therapist - edged over the line? bit triggering. deep breaths. my therapist has i edged over the line? bit triggering. | deep breaths. my therapist has told me i can deal with this. it has wound up a lot of people. if it feels like a growing problem, that's because it is. cars have been getting biggerfor years now and spaces haven't.

since 2001, cars have been getting 1cm bigger every two years. but parking spaces, look at this! the average width of a new car is 180cm. that is as wide as the average parking space. the mega suvs, they are 200cm wide, literally too big for an average space. of course, these big vehicles have only become more popular. suvs were two out of the top three selling car models in the uk last year. so a larger number of bigger vehicles means drivers are being forced, or choosing, to park on pavements or in disabled orfamily bays. which can end in this kind of scene — an suv being towed after parking

in a disabled space in liverpool last year. not everyone is doing this because they feel_ not everyone is doing this because they feel entitled. cars are literatiy— they feel entitled. cars are literally getting bigger. some people don't have a choice. it has to be _ people don't have a choice. it has to be a _ people don't have a choice. it has to be a bigger power. it is about consciously deciding where to park and where — consciously deciding where to park and where it is safe to park. if you have _ and where it is safe to park. if you have no— and where it is safe to park. if you have no other choice than to park in a disabled _ have no other choice than to park in a disabled space, you probably should — a disabled space, you probably should be parking somewhere else, you know? — should be parking somewhere else, you know? we should be parking somewhere else, ou know? ~ ., ., , ., you know? we get around 55 posts a da siml you know? we get around 55 posts a day simply on _ you know? we get around 55 posts a day simply on this — you know? we get around 55 posts a day simply on this topic _ you know? we get around 55 posts a day simply on this topic of _ you know? we get around 55 posts a day simply on this topic of parent i day simply on this topic of parent and child — day simply on this topic of parent and child spaces— day simply on this topic of parent and child spaces and _ day simply on this topic of parent and child spaces and people i day simply on this topic of parenti and child spaces and people were only parking _ and child spaces and people were only parking in— and child spaces and people were only parking in them. _ and child spaces and people were only parking in them. on - and child spaces and people were only parking in them.— and child spaces and people were only parking in them. on both sides, some peeple — only parking in them. on both sides, some people have _ only parking in them. on both sides, some people have suvs _ only parking in them. on both sides, some people have suvs and - only parking in them. on both sides, i some people have suvs and bemoan only parking in them. on both sides, - some people have suvs and bemoan the fact there _ some people have suvs and bemoan the fact there are not so many people carriers— fact there are not so many people carriers rne — fact there are not so many people carriers me these days. what do people _ carriers me these days. what do people expect? they have to fit kids and packaging. the prevailing view is people _ and packaging. the prevailing view is people parking in spaces they are not entitled to. what can be done about it?

one example is paris, where residents recently voted to triple the parking charges for suvs to put them off. and could making parking bays bigger work? the british parking association told us they supported proposals and some car parks are already upgrading. that means fewer spaces and that comes with its own problems. we want to hear from you this morning. are you a blue badge holder that has encountered a car wrongly parked maybe it is your pride and joy. the spaces do not match. some managers have been known to lay passive aggressive notes on windscreens. some, apparently. iprelim aggressive notes on windscreens. some, apparently.— aggressive notes on windscreens. some, apparently. aggressive notes on windscreens. - some, apparently._ do some, apparently. who are they? do not know. somebody _

what price for an autograph from before he was famous? jimi hendrix, the iconic guitarist, who toured lincolnshire in 1967 and whose signature has just been found in an attic in scunthorpe byjohn higgs, which his late wife shirley had collected all those years ago and left unknown in a scrapbook. suddenly, i turned the page and there was the autograph. could you believe it? no. at first i thought, "oh, this is somebody having a bit of a joke." but when i compared it to ones online, it was exactly the same. shirley wasn't there to see jimi hendrix, though, was she? she was there for another act. yeah. shirley went to lincoln primarily to see the walker brothers. # the sun ain't gonna shine any more...# she was a big, big fan of scott walker, as a lot of teenage girls were at that particular time. it was on one of these package tours, where they had multiple artists, and there was engelbert humperdinck, cat stevens, a band called the californians andjimi hendrix. butjimi hendrix was actually quite

low down on that bill. before he was famous. the 1967 autograph's up for auction online on friday. and scunthorpe auctioneer paul potter says it's a piece of pop history. 100%. there's all those acts that were there. it's a very early one as well because jimi only came to the country a few months earlier. nobody really knew him. so this is the book she had on her to get the walker brothers' autographs and couldn't get them, but wound up with jimmy's, which is far more valuable. and yet with an attic clearout, it all could have been so different. you almost threw it out — the autograph. well, yeah. it was only because of the common interest in people that made me think, "well, i'lljust have a flick through it," because i knew that there were some in there. apart from that, it would have probablyjust ended up in the bin. no! i'm afraid so. instead, shirley'sjimi hendrix autograph from lincoln in the 19605 lives on, and with it memories

of a legendary time in british pop. crispin rolfe, bbc news. do not throw anything away, ever. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. a bbc investigation has found major flaws in the construction of some balconies on an east london housing estate after one collapsed last year. the incident on the weavers estate in barking back in november meant hundreds of residents were banned from using their balconies. now tests by the bbc has found some of the materials used to make the collapsed balcomy were more suitable for indoor use the collapsed balcony were more suitable for indoor use including weak glue.

atrocious. unforgivable. it's... you know, it beggars belief how people can build shoddily using the wrong materials. they used internal quality plywood on this building, something you use for building cupboards in your kitchen or your bedroom. bouygues uk said safety was its number one priority and that the design and materials were considered by consultants and approving authorities. it says the balconies on the estate were prefabricated off—site by a subcontractor and "the materials used may not be those that were specified in the design." the bbc�*s discovered disrepair to a number of hospital buildings in london led to some potentially harmful incidents last year. sewage leaks, floods and failing equipment all featured in records obtained under the freedom of information act. five of the top ten hospitals in most need were in the capital including sites run

by imperial college trust. the government said "significant sums" had been invested to modernise the nhs. a statue of england captain harry kane has been hidden in storage for years because councillors in north london cannot find a home for it. waltham forest council wanted to put the sculpture of the footballer, supposedly sitting on a bench on a platform at chingford overground station. but the proposal was rejected following a risk assessment. let's take a look at the tubes. there's a good service on all of the network. now onto the weather with kawser. hello and good morning. an unsettled couple of days ahead. this morning starts on a wet and windy note. so outbreaks of heavy, persistent rain for a time, clearing away, but staying cloudy and mild for the time of year. you can see the rain across the map, gradually clearing further towards the east. and, by the end of the day, the rain will be lighter and patchy in nature.

but it stays windy. gusts of around a0 to 45 miles per hour coming in from the southwest. into the evening, though, it will become drier, staying quite cloudy, though. there will be some showery rain spreading up from the south at times. a couple of showers around. and temperatures holding up at around 8 or 9 celsius. but the winds will tend to ease. but, as we look ahead to thursday, it's quite a messy picture. we have this weather front, bring you some further heavy outbreaks of rain for a time. and, as it clears, because it's a cold front, it will turn a bit cooler, back to around average for the time of year by friday and into the weekend. so, as you can see, unsettled for the timebeing. wet and windy today, still quite mild. becoming cooler as the week progresses. that's your forecast for now. that's it from me.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. 0ur headlines today. the families of three people killed in the nottingham attacks say they hope they will finally see justice after the killer's sentence was referred to judges at the court of appeal. prince william calls for an end to fighting as soon as possible in gaza as mp5 prepare to vote on a ceasefire in the conflict. an investigation by the bbc finds that disrepair in nhs hospitals has caused hundreds of potentially harmful incidents

including sewage leaks. we'll speak to the health secretary. in sport. erling haaland turns up the heat premier league title race as he scores again. and with it a warning from his manager, don't criticise his striker. good morning. some heavy rain this morning pushing north and east, as it clears it will brighten up but there will be some showers through there will be some showers through the afternoon. and wherever you are, we have widespread gales. all the details later in the programme. it's wednesday the 21st of february. the families of three people who were fatally stabbed in nottingham last year say they are "optimistic" that a review of the killer's sentence will provide justice. valdo calocane admitted the manslaughter of ian coates, barnaby webber and grace 0'malley—kumar, and was handed a hospital order. now the attorney general says that was unduly lenient. duncan kennedy reports.

barnaby webber, grace 0'malley—kumar and ian coates were killed in nottingham lastjune. barnaby and grace had been walking home after a night out when they were stabbed. ian coates was stabbed in a different location in the city. three other people were struck by a van. they were all attacked by valdo calocane, who admitted manslaughter. he was given a hospital order after he was found to be suffering from paranoid schizophrenia at the time. but that sentence is now to be referred to the court of appeal after the attorney general intervened. victoria prentis said the nation have been shocked by the case and that... members of the victims' families yesterday met the attorney general in private and said afterwards they were glad of her decision. i did cry. i think it's been a very

long, very difficult... well, since it happened injune, but particularly the last few weeks, it's been very publicly done. i think there was a sense of being listened to. and the fact that we were online with the coates family and the 0'malley—kumar family, there's just a real sense of the beginning of hopefully justice being done here. the court of appeal will now look at the case under what's called the unduly lenient sentence scheme. the judges can keep the sentence as it is, increase it or refuse the attorney general�*s application. the victims' families say the current sentence doesn't reflect the planning or premeditation of the attacks and that a hospital order was insufficient. they say they hope the court of appeal will provide some of what they call appropriate justice. duncan kennedy, bbc news.

we'll be speaking to barnaby webber�*s family at just after eight o'clock this morning. now, jon has more of today's news. the nhs in england will begin to introduce �*martha's rule' from april giving access to rapid critical care reviews if a patient�*s condition worsens in hospital. critical care reviews if a patient�*s the scheme is named after 13—year old martha mills, who died from sepsis when doctors failed to respond to her parents' concerns. 0ur health correspondent, sophie hutchinson, reports. it was in 2021 at king's college hospital in london that martha's parents went through the agony of watching their daughter deteriorate while their concerns were ignored by staff. she'd fallen off her bike, injured her pancreas and developed sepsis. but she never received the life—saving treatment she needed. merope mills, her mother, has fought hard for this initiative, martha's rule, and says it will save lives.

since martha's death, i've said to people who've gone into hospital, if you're worried, if you think something is going wrong, you should scream the ward down because that's what i didn't do. and i regret it, i will regret it for the rest of my days. but the very existence of martha's rule says you don't need to scream the ward down. what you need to do is call this number because you've got martha's rule. martha's rule will be an escalation process in england, which will allow patients, families and nhs staff to call for a rapid review from an independent critical care team 2a hours a day if they want an urgent second opinion. nhs england says at least 100 hospitals, that's two thirds of those with critical care units, can now apply for funding for awareness schemes, which may include printing posters and information leaflets. but questions remain about whether the initiative will be standardised across hospitals and if it will continue to be

called martha's rule. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. mps will vote later on the snp's call for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. the government wants an "immediate humanitarian pause", but the snp has accused israel of war crimes and says the only way to protect civilians is for the fighting to end now. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. henry, just explain how this vote is going to work today.— going to work today. today is what is called an — going to work today. today is what is called an opposition _ going to work today. today is what is called an opposition day, - going to work today. today is what is called an opposition day, which l is called an opposition day, which means the government is not in control of what is debated in parliament and for today only it is the scottish national party and they have chosen to make today about the situation in gaza and israel. they have tabled a motion which will definitely be debated and voted upon which calls for an immediate

ceasefire. the labour party as we have known for months has had tensions within their party on how they should approach the situation in the middle east. and yesterday in response to the snp's motion, sir keir starmer tabled his own form of words which he would like to be debated and voted upon, whichjoins the snp in calling for an immediate ceasefire, that is the first time keir starmer and the labour party have done that, while emphasising much more than the snp's motion does the role of hamas and calling on them to lay down their weapons if any ceasefire is to take effect. the government has also tabled their own form of words calling for an immediate humanitarian pause but not a ceasefire. i will not get into the weeds of parliamentary procedure because even i don't quite understand how it is going to work today, what i do know is it is very possible the labour motion will not be voted upon and if it isn't voted upon, you then have the possibility of a big upon, you then have the possibility ofa big labour

upon, you then have the possibility of a big labour split on how they should vote on the snp motion which could be damaging for keir starmer. if you don't understand it, the rest of us don't stand a chance! interesting intervention from prince william as well.— william as well. yes, and interestingly _ william as well. yes, and interestingly timely - william as well. yes, and interestingly timely given william as well. yes, and - interestingly timely given the coincidence of this at the same time that the houses of parliament, the comments will be debating this very issue. the prince of wales today calling for violence to stop in the middle east. he's saying that there has been to many who have lost their lives both in israel —— too many civilians have lost their lives. both in israel and gaza. there is a bit of a sense of surprise and perhaps uneasy in some quarters in westminster that the prince of wales has decided to dip his toe into this territory, but it it is worth noting there is just a little territory, but it it is worth noting there isjust a little bit territory, but it it is worth noting there is just a little bit of that. generally his comments have been welcome because the vertical spectrum and also a community spectrums. the chief rabbi of

england has said he thought it was a very positive message from the prince of wales. israeli government has responded cautiously, welcoming the prince's support in the conflict earlier for israel after the atrocities they suffered. what is most striking for those of us watching how the royalfamily intersects with the political world is that the prince of wales has issued a statement at all, this feels like new territory for him. thank you very much. a test firing of a trident missile from a royal navy submarine has failed for the second time in a row. the ministry of defence has insisted that the system used to carry britain's nuclear warheads remains "safe, secure and effective." 0ur correspondent louisa pilbeam joins us now. this is embarrassing, isn't it, for the mod. do we know what has gone

is set to fall back down to earth later today. the second earth remote sensing satellite, described as one of the "grandfathers of observation", has been gradually descending since it stopped operating in 2011, and will finally fall into our atmosphere some time today. the european space agency says most of the two—tonne satellite will burn up on the way down. it is most which is... you are worried _ it is most which is... you are worried about _ it is most which is... you are worried about this? - it is most which is. .. you are worried about this? i - it is most which is... you are worried about this? i am - it is most which is... you are worried about this? i am a i it is most which is... you are i worried about this? i am a little anxious but _ worried about this? i am a little anxious but hopefully _ worried about this? i am a little anxious but hopefully we - worried about this? i am a little anxious but hopefully we will i worried about this? i am a little| anxious but hopefully we will be worried about this? i am a little i anxious but hopefully we will be all right. i am anxious but hopefully we will be all right. lam more anxious but hopefully we will be all right. i am more about the rain falling, it looks like it is everywhere. it falling, it looks like it is everywhere.— falling, it looks like it is everywhere. falling, it looks like it is eve here. , ., falling, it looks like it is eve here. . . . everywhere. it is, heavy rain and ales, everywhere. it is, heavy rain and gales. and _ everywhere. it is, heavy rain and gales, and wintriness _ everywhere. it is, heavy rain and gales, and wintriness in - everywhere. it is, heavy rain and gales, and wintriness in the - everywhere. it is, heavy rain and| gales, and wintriness in the hills! that is the forecast this morning, heavy rain and widespread gales, severe gales later across the

is above average for the time of year. but when you add on the strength of the wind and the rain as it moves through it will feel cooler than that. bear that in mind if you are hanging around waiting for transport this morning. this evening and overnight, the rain goes across the english channel and a new active weather front comes in from the north—west, it is sweeping south—east. heavy rain on it, thunder and lightning potentially hail, and behind it down to 200 metres in the highlands, some snow. if you are travelling on the a9 in the morning, bear in mind there could be some disruption. 2—10 the temperatures. the band of rain pushes towards the south—east and clears tomorrow, then sunshine and showers tomorrow, gales through the english channel, through the strait of dover and windy across east anglia but the temperatures are coming down and as the weather front clears away the temperature will drop to about ten. you

around the world forever. colin pitchfork was sentenced to life in prison in 1988 for the murder and rape of two 15 year olds, lynda mann and dawn ashworth. the attacks had happened in leicestershire in 1983 and 1986. during the investigation, richard buckland, a 17 year old with learning difficulties, had confessed to the murder of dawn ashworth but denied murdering lynda mann. detectives were convinced the same person had carried out both attacks. they'd heard about new research being done at the university of leicester in which dna from cells had been attached to photographic film. the result? each person's individual dna could be read. detectives could now check whether buckland's dna matched that found at the crime scene. they came back not connected.

the result was stunning. well, it was a blow because it meant that we'd got the wrong man. buckland was released. the very first time dna profiling was used in a criminal case it cleared a suspect. police then asked all men living in the area to give a sample of their dna. lynda mann's uncle and aunt spoke to breakfast in 2020 about that development. i had to go and give blood and when i went, i had to queue, the queue were amazing for all these males all queuing up to have their bloods took. they wanted it sorted out as much as we did. and to see all these people queuing in the three villages was unbelievable. more than 5,000 men gave a blood sample voluntarily, and eventually the killer was caught. colin pitchfork, a local baker,

became the first person ever to be convicted on the basis of genetic evidence. he was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 30 years. in 2021 he was released on licence by the parole board but was recalled to prison two months later after approaching young women while out walking. that recall was then deemed inappropriate. injune of last year, he was granted parole again. butjustice secretary alex chaulk intervened and his release was blocked by the parole board in december. challenging the latest decision to keep him behind bars, colin pitchfork is now set to face a new parole board hearing with different people on the panel. dawn ashworth's mother, barbara, said in response that words failed her. given the chance, she said she would throw away the key. we are joined now by dawn ashworth's

uncle, phil musson. good morning. good morning. we have 'ust heard good morning. good morning. we have just heard the — good morning. good morning. we have just heard the words _ good morning. good morning. we have just heard the words of _ good morning. good morning. we have just heard the words of your— good morning. good morning. we have just heard the words of your sister - just heard the words of your sister barbara there. how are you and your family doing after this latest update? family doing after this latest u date? ~ , ., family doing after this latest udate? ~ ,, ., update? well, you know, you never recover from _ update? well, you know, you never recover from the _ update? well, you know, you never recover from the pain _ update? well, you know, you never recover from the pain of— update? well, you know, you never recover from the pain of losing - update? well, you know, you never recover from the pain of losing a i recover from the pain of losing a beautiful young life is my niece was. but this continued question and these continued catalogue of errors on the health of the parole board are really seeking to undermine justice for dawn and lynda mann because of the continual discussion about this man's release which i regard as wholly inappropriate. find regard as wholly inappropriate. and 'ust when regard as wholly inappropriate. and just when you thought it was sorted, it is then reopened again. absolutely, yes. iadmit it is then reopened again. absolutely, yes. i admit to being relieved in december 2023 when we

heard that thanks to alex chalke's intervention asking the parole board to review its decision due to to the danger that this man because, a judge found it was irrational to release him and it was not safe. but there were procedural irregularities in the process that he is using to challenge his continued detention. and what, how much power do you feel you have

pitchfork�*s current abdication for parole. i do appreciate the lengths he went to and his predecessor alex chalk. they do seem sincere at taking the issue of this very, very seriously. i also appreciate, i will take the opportunity to say, the leicester mp has been unwavering in his support for dawn and linda. taste his support for dawn and linda. we will be joined on the sofa by the family of barnaby webber. and much more recent incident and crime. you will have seen on breakfast and other tv outlets, they are campaigning for a different kind of justice issue. it is a more recent

round the islands on a boat but not land on them. for the last two years, the farnes, an internationally important habitat for 23 species of birds, have been closed to visitors. bird flu caused the death of 9,000 birds, and for national trust wardens, it's meant the grimmest time. they'd have to deal with that number of carcasses at the time, it was over 6,000 dead birds in 2022. so you can be prepared for it, but it's quite upsetting. but next month inner fame is reopening to visitors again. now we feel we've got the evidence to back up the fact that there's less avian flu. the numbers of birds affected have reduced roughly by half. often we got over a0,000 puffins will land up on the islands. so we're looking forward to all of those birds coming back. also able to look forward again, andrew, who runs boat tours. he lost half his business while the farnes were shut. you don't get any photographers because they just want the picture of the puffin with the sand eels in their bill, you know? so if you can't get that kind of picture, you know, they don't want to be up and down

on a boat sometimes, so you need to be islands to be open. so fingers crossed, it's all good for everybody. the b&bs and the hotels, this willjust help them as well because people will get wind of this being back open again and they think, "0h, right, well, we'll definitely go now." yeah, i'm very pleased that it's, that people can do it again. yeah, sounds good. anything that's good to do when you're on holiday. i i would be concerned about lots of members of the public being on the islands and disturbing the wildlife. visitor numbers will be limited when inner farne reopens on march 25th, but one of the region's natural jewels can finally show us its wonders again. mark denton, bbc news. i would absolutely love to go there. let's go! tomorrow! no, no. coming up on breakfast. we'll hear the incredible story of the doctor who helped save the lives of thousands of babies and then found that he needed life—saving

medical help himself. it's an extraordinary story. at that stage, i had no idea what was about to unfold. i checked in and i came into this room, in fact, it was exactly this room. i was fully aware that i might die so i made a will, i have neighbour made one before. i had to break this news to my wife and kids, i don't think i really knew what i was going to say but a chilly i felt saddest for my kids, i didn't want my kids to, i don't know, i didn't want them to have the rest of their lives without their dad. ~ . , ., , . dad. we will hear the story later, it is incredible. _ dad. we will hear the story later, it is incredible. there _ dad. we will hear the story later, it is incredible. there is - dad. we will hear the story later, it is incredible. there is a - dad. we will hear the story later, it is incredible. there is a very i it is incredible. there is a very s - ecial it is incredible. there is a very special meeting _ it is incredible. there is a very special meeting as _ it is incredible. there is a very special meeting as well. - time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. welcome to bbc london.

i'm thomas magill. a bbc investigation has found major flaws in the construction of some balconies on an east london housing estate after one collapsed last year. the incident on the weavers estate in barking back in november meant hundreds of residents were banned from using their balconies. now tests by the bbc has found some of the materials used to make the collapsed balcomy were more suitable for indoor use — including weak glue. atrocious. unforgivable. it's... you know, it beggars belief how people can build shoddily using the wrong materials. they used internal quality plywood on this building, something you use for building cupboards in your kitchen or your bedroom. bouygues uk said safety was its number one priority and that the design and materials were considered by consultants and approving authorities.

it says the balconies on the estate were prefabricated offsite by a subcontractor and "the materials used may not be those that were specified in the design." the bbc�*s discovered dis—repair to a number of hospital buildings in london led to some potentially harmful incidents last year. sewage leaks, floods and failing equipment all featured in records obtained under a freedom of information request. five of the top ten hospitals in most need were in he capital — —— in the capital — including sites run by imperial college trust. the government said "significant sums" had been invested to modernise the nhs. all of this has an absolute human impact. you know, you're a patient who turns up for an appointment and finds out it's cancelled at the last minute because the medical equipment is faulty or the scanner isn't functioning, or there's a sewage pipe that's burst. this is not helping patient care, it's not helping the staff experience. let's take a look at the tubes. there's minor delays

on the central and jubilee lines. now, onto the weather with kawser. hello and good morning. an unsettled couple of days ahead. this morning starts on a wet and windy note. so outbreaks of heavy, persistent rain for a time, clearing away, but staying cloudy and mild for the time of year. you can see the rain across the map, gradually clearing further towards the east. and, by the end of the day, the rain will be lighter and patchy in nature. but it stays windy. gusts of around a0 to a5 miles per hour coming in from the southwest. into the evening, though, it will become drier, staying quite cloudy, though. there will be some showery rain spreading up from the south at times. a couple of showers around. and temperatures holding up at around 8 or 9 celsius. but the winds will tend to ease. but, as we look ahead to thursday, it's quite a messy picture. we have this weather front, bringing you some further heavy outbreaks of rain for a time. and, as it clears, because it's a cold front, it will turn a bit cooler — back to around average for the time of year by friday and into the weekend.

so, as you can see, unsettled for the timebeing. wet and windy today, still quite mild. becoming cooler as the week progresses. that's your forecast for now. that's it from me. i'll be back in half an hour. hello. this is breakfast with jon kay and sally nugent. thank jon kay and sally nugent. you forjoining us this morning. the nhs in england will begin to introduce martha's rule from april — giving access to rapid critical care reviews if a patient�*s condition worsens in hospital. the scheme is named after 13—year old martha mills, who died from sepsis when doctors failed to respond to her parents' concerns. we can now speak to health secretary, victoria atkins. morning to you. this is being rolled out at 100 nhs hospitals in england

from april. what will it mean for patients? from april. what will it mean for atients? . . . from april. what will it mean for atients? , , . , , , patients? this is a significant step forward for _ patients? this is a significant step forward for patient _ patients? this is a significant step forward for patient safety. - patients? this is a significant step forward for patient safety. i - patients? this is a significant step forward for patient safety. i must| forward for patient safety. i must pay, i was a tribute, to martha's parents, who have not only suffered a horrendous tragedy you have just described but they have taken that onto campaign in order other families do not suffer as they have done. through martha's rule, we will be rolling out across every acute hospital site in england. we are starting with the first 100 to make sure we get the programme right for parents, full family members, for patients and indeed for clinicians. what it will mean is when we walk into a hospital, we will make it as easy as possible for parents and loved ones to understand how they can ask for a second set of eyes if

they are worried about a loved one's condition deteriorating, which is sadly what happened with martha. we all know mums and dads have an instinct for their children. also, of course, with elderly patients, particularly those who may be confused. family members will often know what is their normal state and they will be able to help clinicians understand they are very worried if they are deteriorating further. it is support for clinicians themselves. we want it not to be an accusatory blame culture, we wanted to be about clinicians working together to get the very best results for patients around the nhs in england. i think it is a really significant step forward and am really grateful they are helping to make this happen for other patients

and families. hour make this happen for other patients and families-— and families. how will it be staffed and families. how will it be staffed and aid and families. how will it be staffed and paid for? _ and families. how will it be staffed and paid for? is _ and families. how will it be staffed and paid for? is the _ and families. how will it be staffed and paid for? is the reason - and families. how will it be staffed and paid for? is the reason we - and families. how will it be staffed and paid for? is the reason we are| and paid for? is the reason we are startin: and paid for? is the reason we are starting off _ and paid for? is the reason we are starting off with _ and paid for? is the reason we are starting off with the _ and paid for? is the reason we are starting off with the first - and paid for? is the reason we are starting off with the first 100 - and paid for? is the reason we are starting off with the first 100 also | starting off with the first 100 also so, we want to work with hospitals and clinical teams to understand what will work. some hospitals already have critical outreach teams to come in and take another look. we want to see if that will work across hospitals. we want to have a model that works for parents, families and patients, including, of course, how we publicise this service once people are inside the hospital setting. we very much want this to work for people but we do acknowledge it may not be a one size fits all in terms of how it is administered or arranged. some trusts have already reached out to say we really want to do this, how

potentially harmful incidents reported at hospitals in england last year. when you go and visit hospitals, which i know you do, do you ever look around and think, the situation is desperate? i not you ever look around and think, the situation is desperate?— situation is desperate? i not only visit hospitals _ situation is desperate? i not only visit hospitals in _ situation is desperate? i not only visit hospitals in my _ situation is desperate? i not only visit hospitals in my professional| visit hospitals in my professional capacity, i am also a patient of nhs. that is one reason i came into politics. there is a real programme of work on across england to both repair and of work on across england to both repairand maintain of work on across england to both repair and maintain existing buildings but of course to build new hospitals and upgrade existing hospitals and upgrade existing hospitals as well. some £a.2 billion has been given to trusts this year to spend on capital products, in other words, to spend on capital products, in otherwords, buildings. it is to spend on capital products, in other words, buildings. it is for those trusts to determine how they spend that locally. nationally, we have the new hospitals programme i am very excited about. i went to see

one hospital which will be open later this year. this will be the future of the nhs. this is why we are investing local trust deals. there is a big, real terms reduction in the amount of money the nhs is getting. taste in the amount of money the nhs is cuettin. ~ . in the amount of money the nhs is nettinr ., ,, in the amount of money the nhs is ruettin.~ . ,, getting. we are spending record amounts on _ getting. we are spending record amounts on the _ getting. we are spending record amounts on the nhs _ getting. we are spending record amounts on the nhs this - getting. we are spending record amounts on the nhs this year. i getting. we are spending record i amounts on the nhs this year. but less. i amounts on the nhs this year. but less- i am — amounts on the nhs this year. but less- i am the _ amounts on the nhs this year. but less. i am the health _ amounts on the nhs this year. but less. i am the health secretary - amounts on the nhs this year. but | less. i am the health secretary who has to have — less. i am the health secretary who has to have these _ less. i am the health secretary who has to have these conversations - less. i am the health secretary who| has to have these conversations with the chancellor. we have been able to put that funding not just towards buildings, important that they are but it has meant we have been able to invest in more health care staff, more nurses, 50,000 more nurses we promised in the 2019 election. we have met that promise. more doctors, more physician associates and vital

staff across our nhs, more gps as well. this is very much... we are determined to ensure having just celebrated 75 years of the nhs last year, we are very much building blocks for the next 75 years of the nhs. ~ ., ., blocks for the next 75 years of the nhs. . ., ., _, blocks for the next 75 years of the nhs.~ ., ., ., blocks for the next 75 years of the nhs. what do you say to those people workin: in nhs. what do you say to those people working in hospitals, _ nhs. what do you say to those people working in hospitals, where _ working in hospitals, where sometimes there are sewage leaks, buildings falling down, buildings crumbling an appointment being cancelled because sometimes the rooms themselves are not safe to be in? ~ . . rooms themselves are not safe to be in? . . , , ., in? we have invested £a.2 billion. local in? we have invested £4.2 billion. local trust — in? we have invested £4.2 billion. local trust have _ in? we have invested £4.2 billion. local trust have autonomy - in? we have invested £4.2 billion. local trust have autonomy to - in? we have invested £4.2 billion. | local trust have autonomy to spend the money locally. not everything has to be directed from central government. i represent a very rural seatin government. i represent a very rural seat in lincolnshire. sometimes whitehall and westminster can feel a very long way away. much better to trust local health care leaders to spend that money as they deem

appropriate in their local area. spending £a.2 billion on buildings. whilst of course buildings are important and that is why we have this new hospitals programme. equally it is about people. that is why as well as looking at the infrastructure of hospitals, i am also determined that we stick to the long term workforce plan we announced last year to recruit and train even more health care staff into our health care system to look after people as best as we possibly can in a 21st century.— can in a 21st century. there is a really big _ can in a 21st century. there is a really big gap _ can in a 21st century. there is a really big gap in _ can in a 21st century. there is a really big gap in their _ can in a 21st century. there is a| really big gap in their numbers. can in a 21st century. there is a - really big gap in their numbers. the cost of making the nhs estate fit for purpose, at last year it was £11.6 billion. it does not add up. was that a question? you £11.6 billion. it does not add up. was that a question?— £11.6 billion. it does not add up. was that a question? you are talking about one number _ was that a question? you are talking about one number and _ was that a question? you are talking about one number and i _ was that a question? you are talking about one number and i am - was that a question? you are talking about one number and i am talking l was that a question? you are talking | about one number and i am talking of another one. about one number and i am talking of another one-—

matches than they probably have ever done. making for box office viewing at the moment. erling haaland ensuring manchester city are right at the heart of it at the moment. morning. erling haaland on target again in what is shaping up to be a thrilling title race. when he ran through, there was only ever one outcome. the striker putting an end to brentford's stubborn resistance to win1—0. and with it a warning from manager pep guardiola, don't criticise his star striker, as he'll make you eat your words. as a person, i was not a journalist, and i am not and i would not be. so to me, top scorer, striker, score a lot of goals, don't criticise him. because he will shut your mouth. what's wrong with being a journalist? for me? yeah, what's wrong with being a journalist? oh, i'm a manager. my life is better than yours, so... laughter. so that's why i want to be a manager, i don't want to be a journalist, absolutely.

he is clearly enjoying himself, despite the pressure that comes with a very tight title race at the moment. sirjim ratcliffe has promised to deliver world class facilities for the manchester united fans as his takeover was rubber stamped. the petrochemoicals billionaire, a lifelong united fan, secured a 27% stake after that deal was ratified last night. the glazerfamily, who have owned united since 2005, retain a majority stake in the club but ratcliffe's ineos group will take control of football operations. arsenal, one of thoe sides in this thrilling title race, are in champions league action tonight. there were two more games in the competition a former premier league striker made the headlines in italy. west ham striker marko arnautovic with the only goal of the game for inter milan to hold a slight advantage over atletico madrid — 1—0 it finished at the san siro. no winner in the other tie of the night —

as psv eindhoven drew 1—1 with borussia dortmund. luuk dejong with psv�*s equaliser from the penalty spot. the second leg is in germany in three weeks' time. now, could the long jump rules be about to change? overstepping your take off may no longer go down as a fouljump. because world athletics are planning a trial in the event where you use a take—off zone, instead of taking—off from the traditional wooden board. it would negate the need to get that front foot as close to the take off mark as possible, and would do away with fouljumps to make everyjump count for athletes. and talking of taking off, andy murray hopes his first win of the year at his fifth attempt will act as a springboard for the rest of the season. there was a huge outburst of emotion as he beat france's alexandre muller in the first round of the qatar open, the victory coming

at his fifth attempt of 202a. he will play 18—year—old czech jakub mensik in the second round. could be a real confidence boost to get at first when of the year under his belt. four years ago, metropolitan police sergeant matt ratana was murdered while on duty at croydon custody centre. since then, his family and friends have taken part in a number of fund—raising events in his name, with some of them walking 100 miles from reading to bristol. our reporterjames dunn is following their progress. he is with bond this morning. good morning. how are on? —— he is with them this morning. ihlat

morning. how are on? -- he is with them this morning.— them this morning. not an easy 'ourne them this morning. not an easy journey at _ them this morning. not an easy journey at all- _ them this morning. not an easy journey at all. they _ them this morning. not an easy journey at all. they have - them this morning. not an easy journey at all. they have been l them this morning. not an easy - journey at all. they have been doing 30 miles a day and staying in local rugby clubs, like this one, here at keynsham. a few tired legs having a cup of tea, packing up sleeping bags and lacing up boots for another ten miles. it is almost over, this journey. it has been so difficult, the weather has been hard. they had taken everything thrown at them. every step of the way they have been thinking about talking about someone they loved and respected hugely. it has made it a very emotional journey. 100 miles on foot from reading to bristol is a journey with purpose. it's the continuation of the legacy, keeping matt's name alive. walking to remember a friend, a colleague, an inspiration to so many. those who worked with him can't forget his influence as they take on this epic challenge. he was audacious in setting aspirations for people and telling them how wonderful they could be if they worked harder,

what they could become, how they could be, how they would see the world differently if they attained that goal. come join us on ourjourney... matt ratana was a legendary coach at east grinstead rugby club, where many of the walkers know him from, but he was also a metropolitan police officer and in september 2020 he was killed on duty, shot dead in a custody suite in croydon by a suspect who'd been hiding a gun. since then, a foundation has been set up in his honour. just minutes from where he was killed, they run a scheme diverting young people away from crime through rugby. i have coached a young man who, at the end of the session has checked his phone and learned that his friend has been stabbed very close by. and the devastating realisation that he had, in reporting to me, you know, "if i wasn't here. i would have been there with them,

and that could have been me". to raise money for these sessions they've walked through night and day, rain or shine. the journey itself has become a tribute to matt's memory. it's been tough. the towpath at places has been so wet that we've had to do double back routes. people keep going at different paces and we get each other back on track at different moments. so it's been fantastic, you know, and a real testament to the sort of person matt was in the way that he was so friendly towards everyone, everyone's so friendly towards each other. they've been hosted by local rugby clubs on the way. and 1500 people are expected at this evening's game to raise money in matt's honour. his death was a tragedy, but it has united the rugby community in its wake.

yes, that is right. they have been doing 30 miles a day, it was not easy. they were staying at local rugby clubs like this one at keynsham. a few people are having cups of tea before they set off again rolling up sleeping bags and lacing up their boots for another ten miles. they have had to take everything the british weather has thrown at them. they have done it all for someone they loved and respected hugely in the background. they had been remembering about him and made it a very emotional journey. and made it a very emotional 'ourne . . ~' , ., , and made it a very emotional 'ourne . . ,, , . journey. thank you very much indeed. all the best — journey. thank you very much indeed. all the best to — journey. thank you very much indeed. all the best to them _ journey. thank you very much indeed. all the best to them as _ journey. thank you very much indeed. all the best to them as they _ all the best to them as they continue that walk. nearly there. the premier league says it's fighting a rise in social media threats against both its players and their families. it's now set up a unit dedicated to hunting down online trolls, who target top flight footballers. the bbc�*s disinformation and social media correspondent, marianna spring, has been talking

to one player who's been targeted, and to the people tasked with tracking down the online haters. we're just about ready to go. june 2020, and brighton are taking on arsenal. striker neal maupay collides with arsenal's goalkeeper. later, he scores the winner. brighton won it with seconds to play! but after the game, maupay, who now plays for brentford, became the target of hate and these particularly threatening messages. it was very disturbing, you know, because i received one saying basically, i know where you live. "i will come to your house tonight and i'm going to kill you and your family." i call the club and i say, listen, we need to do something because what if that guy is really coming to my house? i reported it to the club with the screenshots and everything. i reported it on instagram as well, and then the club sent it over to the premier league.

so this is the trophy... i headed to meet the premier league team tasked with investigating his case. we're dealing with really nasty abuse where ultimately it could be considered criminal. so we are not removing people's general thoughts or comments on a particular player on a match or on the league itself. we're dealing with the stuff that's really horrible and shouldn't have any place online. the team used to just deal with piracy. now it uses the same techniques to investigate abusive posts and messages on social media. we see family members getting as much abuse, sadly, as the players do, and they can report to us to then investigate the direct messages that have been sent to them. sometimes more abuse is sent to them than the players themselves. it might be that the profiles are open or they're easy to find, they're tagged in a particular photo, whatever the reason may be. we are playing a game, it's not that deep. i think it's hard to punish everyone. but the more we can do it, i think the better it is because it will show people that this is not ok and you'll get in trouble for it.

so is accountability for the people who troll the way to stop this behaviour online? well, for footballers and others targeted with hate, the abuse still rages on. marianna joins us now. football has a real problem, hasn't it? it football has a real problem, hasn't it? ., , . ., it? it does. whenever you are watchin: it? it does. whenever you are watching a — it? it does. whenever you are watching a game, _ it? it does. whenever you are watching a game, there - it? it does. whenever you are watching a game, there is - it? it does. whenever you are watching a game, there is a l it? it does. whenever you are l watching a game, there is a red card, a penalty, a last—minute winner, you expect that player in some way to be subjected to online hate. one thing that has shocked me is the way that anyone connected to a player becomes fair game. family, friends, people tagged in photos. they are dealing with that as well, match officials, anyone connected with the sport. we are talking about threats, racism, in terms of the

because the medical equipment is faulty or the scanner isn't functioning, or there's a sewage pipe that's burst. this is not helping patient care, it's not helping the staff experience. a statue of england captain harry kane has been hidden in storage for years because councillors in north london cannot find a home for it. waltham forest council wanted to put the sculpture of the footballer, supposedly sitting on a bench, at chingford overground station. but, the proposal was rejected following a risk assessment. let's take a look at the tubes. there's minor delays on the central and jubilee lines. now onto the weather and a largely cloudy day with spells of heavy and persistent rain into the afternoon. turning drier later with a top temperature 13 degrees. that's it from me. there's more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. the families of three people killed in the nottingham attacks say they hope they will finally see justice after the killer's sentence was referred to judges at the court of appeal. prince william calls for an end to fighting as soon as possible in gaza as mp5 prepare to vote on a ceasefire in the conflict. martha's rule will be introduced in hospitals in england from april giving families the right to a rapid critical care review if a patient�*s condition worsens in hospital.

big cars and bad parking. as vehicle sizes grow, spaces aren't keeping up. you've shared your stories of bumps, prangs and passive aggressions. he's spent his career treating the tiniest babies born in newcastle but then dr nick embleton needed some life—saving treatment of his own. we'll hear his remarkable story. good morning. heavy rain pushing across the uk today heading north and east, behind it it will brighten up and east, behind it it will brighten up but there will be some heavy showers and wherever you are it will be windy with widespread gales. all of the details later in the programme. it's wednesday the 21st of february. the families of three people who were fatally stabbed in nottingham last year say they are "optimistic" that a review of the killer's sentence will provide justice. valdo calocane admitted

the manslaughter of ian coates, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, and was handed a hospital order. now, the attorney general says that was unduly lenient. duncan kennedy reports. barnaby webber, grace o'malley—kumar and ian coates were killed in nottingham lastjune. barnaby and grace had been walking home after a night out when they were stabbed. ian coates was stabbed in a different location in the city. three other people were struck by a van. they were all attacked by valdo calocane, who admitted manslaughter. he was given a hospital order after he was found to be suffering from paranoid schizophrenia at the time. but that sentence is now to be referred to the court of appeal after the attorney general intervened. victoria prentis said the nation have been shocked by the case and that...

members of the victims' families yesterday met the attorney general in private and said afterwards they were glad of her decision. i did cry. i think it's been a very long, very difficult... well, since it happened injune, but particularly the last few weeks, it's been very publicly done. i think there was a sense of being listened to. and the fact that we were online with the coates family and the o'malley—kumar family, there's just a real sense of the beginning of hopefully justice being done here. the court of appeal will now look at the case under what's called the unduly lenient sentence scheme. the judges can keep the sentence as it is, increase it or refuse the attorney general�*s application. the victims' families say the current sentence doesn't reflect the planning or premeditation of the attacks and that a hospital order was insufficient.

they say they hope the court of appeal will provide some of what they call appropriate justice. duncan kennedy, bbc news. we'll be speaking to barnaby webber�*s family in a few minutes. the nhs in england will begin to introduce martha's rule from april giving access to rapid critical care reviews if a patient�*s condition worsens in hospital. the scheme is named after 13—year old martha mills, who died from sepsis when doctors failed to respond to her parents' concerns following a cycling accident. her mum merope has campaigned for the change. since martha's death, i have said to people who have gone into hospital, if you are worried, if you think

something is going wrong, you should scream the ward it down because that's what i didn't do and i regret it, iwill that's what i didn't do and i regret it, i will regret it for the rest of my days. but the very existence of martha's rule says you don't need to do that, you just need to call a number because you have this rule. earlier on breakfast we heard from the health secretary victoria atkins. we all know that mums and dads have that instinct _ we all know that mums and dads have that instinct for their children but alsor _ that instinct for their children but also, of— that instinct for their children but also, of course, with elderly parents. _ also, of course, with elderly parents, particularly elderly patients who might be confused, family— patients who might be confused, family members will often know what is if you _ family members will often know what is if you like their normal state and they— is if you like their normal state and they will be able to help clinicians understand if they are very worried that they are deteriorating further. mps will vote later on the snp's call for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. the government wants an "immediate humanitarian pause", but the snp has accused israel of war crimes and says the only way

shifts to protect civilians is for the fighting to end now.0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman joins us now. how is this vote today going to work? — how is this vote today going to work? ~ ., . how is this vote today going to work? ~ . , ., . , how is this vote today going to work? ~ . , ., . . , work? what this vote has already done is force _ work? what this vote has already done is force the _ work? what this vote has already done is force the major _ work? what this vote has already done is force the major political. done is force the major political parties to write down in parliamentary language what their current positions are on the situation in israel and gaza so we know that the snp has a very firm stance, as you say, suggesting that israel is committing war crimes, they are calling via this motion for an immediate ceasefire. the labour party yesterday tabled its own amendment to the snp motion. they have for the first time called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. much more so than the snp they emphasise that both sides would have to cease fighting for a ceasefire to last. they emphasise much more than the snp does that hamas still holds

hostages and that israel in their view has a right to expect that nothing like october seven could ever happen again. the government has its own amendment, they do not call for a ceasefire, they call for an immediate humanitarian pause although they say they share the concerns of the other two parties of a possible israeli ground invasion of rafah. today is going to be placated because it is an opposition day, meaning the snp have the status of the government. why does that matter? because labour has managed to unite the party and its mps where they stand on this conflict behind their amendment, they stand on this conflict behind theiramendment, but there they stand on this conflict behind their amendment, but there amendment might not be voted on. if that is the case, they have a problem because you will have different m —— labour mps going to different ways on the snp motion. a lot of this is “p on the snp motion. a lot of this is up to the speaker lindsey hoyle, so let's see how it plays out. and up to the speaker lindsey hoyle, so let's see how it plays out.— let's see how it plays out. and also intervention _ let's see how it plays out. and also intervention from _ let's see how it plays out. and also intervention from prince _ let's see how it plays out. and also intervention from prince william i

toe into this issue.— toe into this issue. thank you, indeed. the former post office chairman has claimed he was told by the government to "hobble" into the general election without solving the organisation's long—term problems. henry staunton made the claim in a note to himself injanuary of last year after a meeting with a senior civil servant at the department for business and trade, which has been approached for comment. mr staunton was sacked rom the post office chairmanship by kemi badenoch, the business secretary, last month. the government has refuted mr staunton's claims. hundreds of people have been forced to leave their homes in plymouth after what's thought to be an unexploded second world war bomb was dug up. it was discovered in a garden on st michael avenue, in the keyham area of the city. police say a 200 metre cordon could be in place for up to 36 hours, while bomb disposal experts try to make the device safe. junior doctors in wales have begun a second round of industrial action over pay.

they went on strike at seven o'clock this morning. the 72—hour walk—out means thousands of appointments and operations have been cancelled. the doctors' union, the bma, says the welsh government's offer of a 5% increase is the worst in the uk. people who work with children in england and wales are to be given a new duty to report evidence of child abuse. mandatory reporting was a key recommendation of the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse, and failure to comply could result in being barred from working with children. a pioneering european satellite is set to fall back down to earth later today. don't worry, though! the second earth remote sensing satellite, described as one of the "grandfathers of observation", has been gradually descending since it stopped operating in 2011, and will finally fall into our atmosphere some time today.

the european space agency says most of the two—tonne satellite will burn up on the way down. there is a lot coming down today in terms of liquid as well, it is a wet day out there, good morning, carol. you are not wrong, wet and windy sums it up. if you look at the weather watchers pictures, a lot of us waking up to scenes like this one in staffordshire. the forecast, heavy rain pushing north and east, it will brighten up later but still some share was in the forecast and widespread gales, even severe gales later across the northern isles. —— some showers in the forecast. there were rain has been coming in from the south west, and it will be heavy rain falling on saturated ground. starting to clear

northern ireland, continuing across scotland, having a bit of a gap in the north—east but it will get into the north—east but it will get into the northern isles where the wind will strengthen. this process continues through the rest of the day, the rain pushes north and east, behind it it starts to brighten up. still a fair bit of cloud around but some sunny spells. equally a lot of showers around and some of those will be heavy and thundery, wintry in the hills. all that going on, temperature is above average for the time of year, if you are exposed to the wind and rain it will feel cooler than those temperatures will suggest. this evening and overnight we start with clear skies, we also have a band of rain scooting across the southern counties of england, the southern counties of england, the english channel, then the next active weather front comes in. this will produce some heavy and potentially thundery outbreaks of rain. behind it in the colder air, there showers will turn to snow down to 200 metres, if you are travelling

in particular on the macro to be aware of it, the snow will start to accumulate fuel —— particularly on the a9, be aware of it, the snow will start to accumulate. a weather front drifting in the south—east tomorrow morning, cooler air behind, wintry showers in the hills, windy in the straits of dover and east anglia but to the temperature is coming down behind the weather front. ,, ., coming down behind the weather front. ,, , , ., good front. stay inside, shall we? good idea, cu front. stay inside, shall we? good idea. cup of _ front. stay inside, shall we? good idea, cup of tea! _ front. stay inside, shall we? good idea, cup of tea! thank— front. stay inside, shall we? good idea, cup of tea! thank you. - it has been an unimaginably difficult few months for the families of ian coates, barnaby webber and grace o'malley—kumar, who were fatally stabbed in nottingham in june last year. their killer, valdo calocane, was given a hospital order after admitting manslaughter, but yesterday the attorney general described the sentence as unduly lenient and it will now be

reviewed byjudges. we'll speak to barnaby�*s family here on the sofa in just a minute, but first we can hear from ian coates' sonjames who gave his reaction to the attorney general�*s decision on east midlands today. surprised, but very pleasantly surprised. it was definitely what we were looking for and we're really glad that the attorney general has decided to go with the appeal. we've been let down over the last few months from the various different agencies. it feels like something bad happens every single week. so me personally, i've gone in thinking the worst, and then straight off the bat she's come out and said straightaway, "before we even discuss anything, i want to let you know that we're going with the appeal." and itjust was like a weight lifted off her shoulders and it took all the doubts away. and we could focus on the call then and get all the information from her, which is obviously a massive positive thing for us. i don't think you can really cope in situations like this. there's never really time to grieve or think about anything

because there's just so much that needs to be done. there's so many inquests and reviews and stuff that need doing over the different agencies, the different failures, there's just so much to concentrate on there. we haven't had a chance really to step back and look at the bigger picture and look at what's happened. and i'm quite fearful that that day is going to come at some point soon. and it's going to be a lot to take on, a lot of emotions, but there's still work to be done. and we have to be the voice for our loved ones that have been taken away because they can't represent themselves. with regards to the o'malley—kumars and the webbers, we've gained two extra families as part of our family now and it's been, they've been great. we obviously all share an anniversary now that we never want to celebrate, but there will be a day and that day is going to be june 13th, where we'll all be struggling with the same emotions. and at least i know now that i can turn to them if i need help and hopefully they feel the same and we can raise a toast to the ones that we've lost and hopefully start building more of a friendship and a relationship with

them as time goes on. we're joined now by barnaby webber�*s mum, emma, his dad david and his brother charlie. give money to all of you. it was a month ago i was in your house in somerset and in the last four weeks, we have had the court case, the sentencing, you have been to downing street, but put into words what the last four weeks have been like? it’s last four weeks have been like? it's been last four weeks have been like? it�*s been intense, really intense. it's exhausting, i would been intense, really intense. it's exhausting, iwould not been intense, really intense. it's exhausting, i would not say it is pleasurable that it is something we have had to do. it feels like a freight train that doesn't stop at the moment, itjust keeps going and keeps going.

and nhs england investigating the mental health trust. so it is a lot. but this is a big one, this is a big move forward because it is the perpetrator, this is where we felt the most left town. == perpetrator, this is where we felt the most left town.— perpetrator, this is where we felt the most left town. -- the most let down. the most left town. -- the most let down- what — the most left town. -- the most let down- what you — the most left town. -- the most let down. what you hope _ the most left town. -- the most let down. what you hope comes - the most left town. -- the most let down. what you hope comes from i the most left town. -- the most let i down. what you hope comes from all of the reviews you have mentioned, all of the things are being investigated, what would you like to happen with those investigations? i happen with those investigations? i think if we are not careful, we are at risk of those being silos. because there are so many moving parts in each of them, and so many different organisational bodies and directors and directorships and stuff. it was interesting victoria prentis said to us, that she was interested that we had a lot going on all over the government. if everything is done fully properly, and if that is a public inquiry so

the collapsed balcony were more suitable for indoor use — including weak glue. you know, it beggars belief how people can build shoddily using the wrong materials. they used internal quality plywood on this building, something you use for building cupboards in your kitchen or your bedroom. bouygues uk said safety was its number one priority and that the design and materials were considered by consultants and approving authorities. it says the balconies on the estate were prefabricated offsite by a subcontractor and "the materials used may not be those that were specified in the design." the bbc�*s discovered disrepair to a number of hospital buildings in london led to some potentially harmful incidents last year. sewage leaks, floods and failing equipment all featured in records obtained under a freedom of information request.

five of the top ten hospitals in most need were in the capital — including sites run by imperial college trust. the government said "significant sums" had been invested to modernise the nhs. a statue of england captain harry kane has been hidden in storage for years because councillors in north london cannot find a home for it. waltham forest council wanted to put the sculpture of the footballer, supposedly sitting on a bench at chingford overground station. but, the proposal was rejected following a risk assessment. let's take a look at the tubes. there's minor delays on the central and jubilee lines. now, on to the weather with kawser. hello and good morning. an unsettled couple of days ahead. this morning starts on a wet and windy note. so outbreaks of heavy, persistent rain for a time, clearing away, but staying cloudy and mild for the time of year. you can see the rain across the map, gradually clearing further towards the east. and, by the end of the day, the rain will be lighter and patchy in nature. but it stays windy. gusts of around a0 to a5 miles per hour coming

in from the southwest. into the evening, though, it will become drier, staying quite cloudy, though. there will be some showery rain spreading up from the south at times. a couple of showers around. and temperatures holding up at around 8 or 9 celsius. but the winds will tend to ease. but, as we look ahead to thursday, it's quite a messy picture. we have this weather front, bringing you some further heavy outbreaks of rain for a time. and, as it clears, because it's a cold front, it will turn a bit cooler — back to around average for the time of year by friday and into the weekend. so, as you can see, unsettled for the timebeing. wet and windy today, still quite mild. becoming cooler as the week progresses. that's your forecast for now. that's it from me. i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. a bbc investigation has found that

disrepair in nhs hospital buildings has caused hundreds of potentially harmful incidents in england in the last financial year. events such as sewage leaks, floods and ceilings partially collapsing led to clinics being cancelled and patients sent home. our health editor hugh pym reports. ageing buildings, substandard materials and running repairs. but torbay hospital in devon is not an isolated case. similar issues are having a serious impact on patient care across england. a bbc investigation has revealed more than 1,300 potentially harmful incidents in hospitals last year, caused by failures in the hospital environment. they included sewage leaks, floods and broken heating systems. this is queen elizabeth's hospital in king's lynn, built in parts using poor quality aerated concrete, known as raac, which sparked concerns last year that a ceiling could collapse. rebecca and her six—year—old daughter cleo go there frequently

because of cleo's hypoglycaemia. you want to feel like you can put all your trust into the hospital. and when you're seeing workmen and scaffolding and timber beams holding up roofs, it doesn't give you that sense of safety and security. but the roof was not rebecca's only concern. a year ago, she saw sewage leaking on hospital grounds. as we walked up to the door, we noticed a really foul smell and we looked down and there was sewage coming out of the manhole cover, which was about, i'd say, about four foot away from the door that leads into the hospital. as we stood there, and we could see the sewage, there was rats running around. a trust spokesman said it worked immediately to clear the blocked drain and that all work to reinforce raac concrete is now complete. the department of health and social care said...

at torbay hospital in devon, the issue is how to prioritise so many problems, which can impact so many patients. the nhs confederation, which represents trusts, says in a new report today that the next government must boost investment to update crumbling hospital buildings and provide new equipment. hugh pym, bbc news. if you have been shopping recently, been into if you have been shopping recently, been into a if you have been shopping recently, been into a multistorey if you have been shopping recently, been into a multistorey car if you have been shopping recently, been into a multistorey car park, maybe. you park up and maybe you cannot get out of the space. it is not necessarily your size, it is the car all the space. definitely not me. cars are getting

bigger, aren't they? cars definitely not me. cars are getting bigger, aren't they?— bigger, aren't they? cars are caettin bigger, aren't they? cars are getting bigger _ bigger, aren't they? cars are getting bigger and _ bigger, aren't they? cars are getting bigger and spaces i bigger, aren't they? cars are| getting bigger and spaces are bigger, aren't they? cars are - getting bigger and spaces are not. the fallout is everyone is grumpy. we have given people a safe space to moan about this and they have. if it feels like a growing problem — that's because it is. literally. cars have been getting biggerfor years now. but spaces haven't. since 2001, cars have been getting 1cm larger every two years. but parking spaces have stayed the same. look at this — the average new car is 180cm in width. but so is the average parking space. and those big suvs — the ones you'll hear a lot of motorists and pedestrians complain about — well, they are 200cm wide. literally too big to fit. and as two of the three top three selling car models last year were suvs, you'll be seeing more of it about. and a consequence of a larger number

of bigger vehicles is more drivers parking on pavements or in disabled orfamily bays. there is tutting in the studio. which can end in this kind of scene, an suv being towed after parking in a disabled space in liverpool last year. off you go. campaigners say it can't go on. not everybody is doing this because they feel entitled. it literally is that cars are getting bigger. people don't often have a choice when they want a better car. sometimes, it's got to be a bigger car. it's just thinking about consciously deciding where you want to park and where it is safe for you to park. and if you have no other choice than to park in a disabled space, you probably should be parking somewhere else, you know? you can see we get around 55 posts a dayjust simply on this topic- of parent and child spaces _ and people wrongly parking in them. obviously, on both sides, . some of our users have suvs and bemoan the fact there aren't i

so many people carriers these days. what do people expect? they have to fit kids _ and their baggage in somewhere. but nonetheless, i would say the prevailing view is one - of irritation of people parking in the spaces they— are not entitled to. what can be done ? cars aren't about to get smaller. perhaps follow the paris model, where residents recently voted to triple parking charges for suvs. maybe making parking bays bigger could work? the british parking association told us they supported these proposals and that some car parks are already upgrading. although bigger spaces mean fewer spaces, which comes with its own problems. unsurprisingly, we've received a lot of messages and e—mail on this. and here's an example from trish in tiverton, whose car is on the right of the image. she says she returned from a trip

on the train to find the black range rover between her car and another. that is pretty good parking. she says it is nothing to show off about. neil e—mailed this picture from his local supermarket in newcastle—under—lyme. as you can see, the suv on the left is so wide that parking inside the lines of the space next to it is nearly impossible. the white driver could have done better. you do not know the situation when the white car arrived. i know they have parked badly but he might have had no choice. irate badly but he might have had no choice. ~ ., ., ~' ., badly but he might have had no choice._ what l badly but he might have had no - choice._ what came choice. we do not know. what came first? and here's an example that will infuriate blue badge holders. from a viewer in stoke. they are taking up two spaces. i am

for more than 20 years... how long have you been in since he was born then? dr nick embleton has saved the lives of thousands of the world's smallest patients. how long was he on the ventilator for? many here in newcastle were born at the very brink of survival, some weighing less than 500 grams. but in 2021, nick was feeling tired and increasingly unwell and needed to see a doctor himself. just kind of wondering what on earth could be going on. you know, at that stage, i had no idea what was about to unfold. i checked in and i came into this room. in fact, it was exactly this room. the tests showed he was developing a rare cancer. this is an irreversible marrow failure. and without a bone marrow transplant, this would be a terminal diagnosis. i was fully aware that i might die. so i made a will. never made a will before. i went home and i realised then i had to kind of break this news

to my wife and my kids. and i don't think i really knew what i was going to say. but actually i felt saddest for my kids. like, i didn't want my kids to... i don't know, i didn't want them to grow the rest of their lives without their dad. nick's only hope of survival was a stem cell transplant. and so the search began. we would search the uk register first and hopefully find a match here. if we're unable to find a match, then anthony nolan would search worldwide to find a match so your match could come from anywhere in the world. a full match was found from a donor in germany, but their details had to remain anonymous. as they took the stem cells, the donor had no idea whose life depended on them. nick had to wait for two years before knowing whether the transplant was successful. only then could he try and find out who the donor was. somebody else did something to save my life. like, that feels really emotional.

the donor, hearing that nick wanted to meet, agreed to fly to the uk. now, two years since learning he had a potentially terminal cancer diagnosis, nick was about to meet his saviour. lovely to see you. lovely to meet you. hi, marius. hi, i'm nick. i'm very overwhelmed. no, no, no, i'm shaking! i'm shaking, too. the cancer cells have all gone. and so when they, when they check my blood now, i mean, all of those blood cells belong to you. i would be dead if it wasn't for you. i've got four children. four? yeah. nice. they wouldn't have their dad.

i just really want to thank you for your... you're welcome. pleasure. thanks so much. from germany to maggie's cancer centre in newcastle. your cells kill the cancer. and 2a—year—old marius recalls the moment he heard that the transplant had worked and that the patient he didn't even know had survived. after that information, all the tears comes out. i was on the way to my work and i had to park my car and get out and need fresh air, chill out. yeah. you have a lovely family. makes me really happy and emotional right now. and it was only in this moment that we learned something else.

marius told us that he'd previously tried to take his own life and how, in a way, nick had helped save him. i struggled my whole life since i'm 13, with mental issues. it's hard for me to find my way in life and my sense in life. so... just give me a sense in my life. yeah, i can say i did something right. two strangers who now have the same blood running through their veins. blood brothers and friends for life. sharon barbour, bbc news. what a connection! amazing. i love that story. on every level it was

the tail end of a weather front moving across the english channel. you can see another active weather front coming in from the north—west, pushing south—east. it will have heavy rain, thunder and lightning, possibly hale. as the cooler air digs in, you will find the wintry showers will come down to around about 200 metres. in the highlands first thing tomorrow, in the grampians were deeper that in mind. it will be wintry as well. these are the overnight lows, a9 degrees. into tomorrow, this weather front continues to drift south and east. ahead of it still mild airfor a time. we can see how the blues indicating the colder air follow one right behind a weather front. it will turn colder as the weather front pushes south. still heavy rain on the weather front. behind it, drier, brighter, some sunshine but a lot of showers. in the west, some of
