treatment that has not started yet, thatis treatment that has not started yet, that is what has been suspended, but those who are already undergoing treatment, they continued. this is not the first time that the human fertilisation and embryology authority has had concerns about this clinic. two years ago it reported whistle—blower concerns about the leadership, the welfare of patients and staff and the working conditions here at this clinic. thank you very much. the health ombudsman for england has warned that an overstretched and understaffed nhs is putting cancer patients at risk. rob behrens says exhausted workers are under "unsustainable pressure" and the government should invest in the workforce. ministers say their nhs long term workforce plan will boost the number of staff. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has more. a recent analysis by the bbc suggested cancer waiting times in england last year were the worst on

record. now there are new figures from the health ombudsman who investigates unresolved complaints about nhs england government departments and other public organisations. they highlight problems in cancer treatment, misdiagnosed, poor communication referrals and end—of—life care. the ombudsman, rob behrens, says while everyone deserves a safe and effective care, patient safety would always be a risk in environments that are understaffed and where staff are exhausted. a working unsustainable pressure. i continually come across failures in a service despite the excellence of so many dedicated clinicians and staff in the nhs. that is the reality we have to live with and confront. being shocked is not enough, what we have to do is to create a learning culture in the nhs. ., , .., ., ., nhs. he has called for what he described as _ nhs. he has called for what he described as concerted - nhs. he has called for what he described as concerted and - nhs. he has called for what he - described as concerted and sustained action from government to make sure

shows that quite nicely, low pressure moving in towards france. we have this weather front spreading northwards this morning, it is bringing outbreaks of rain. this area of low pressure will keep things more unsettled for most was over the weekend. this morning it is quite misty out there, particularly around england and wales. there may well be some sunny spells around east anglia, the southeast, before the cloud thickens up a bit here. we will see showers affecting southeastern parts of england and rain moving northwards into northern england, eventually northern ireland as well plenty of sunshine for the far north—west of scotland, temperatures 7— 13 celsius. you get some of that sunshine it will feel pleasant across the southeast, but when you get the cloud perhaps feeling more chilly. going into sunday you can see the blues become a bit more extensive across the uk, so further outbreaks of rain spreading their way in. damages overnight down to about five and eight celsius. so, sunday, we start the morning with a fair amount of rain across northern england, down

through the midlands coming to the southeast of england. this room will drift further westward into east wales. a few showers towards endswells, southwest england, sang fairly cloudy around the eastern areas with that easterly wind bringing quite a bit of cloud. temperatures perhaps a bit lower. it may not feel quite as pleasant through sunday afternoon, 6— 11 celsius. going into next week, low pressure will be sticking around. it will drift its way further towards the east, monday the winds will be a bit lighter, there will still be a lot of cloud around on monday and with that some perhaps drizzly rain across eastern areas of the uk. as you can see, for many of us it has been fairly cloudy, perhaps brightness goes developing into the afternoon, that cloud breaking up very gradually. maximum temperatures 6-11 very gradually. maximum temperatures 6— 11 degrees. these are typical values for the time of year. for the rest of the week we keep things a little bit drier on tuesday and

wednesday, but we will then start to see this area moving into the north—west, that will bring some range of scotland and to northern ireland further south and east it should be dry and sunny spells. temperatures throughout the week, they will start to rise a little bit, 40-15 c, for they will start to rise a little bit, 40—15 c, for example, in london and the southeast, even further north, nine — 12 celsius. and the southeast, even further north, nine — 12 celsius. thank and the southeast, even further north, nine - 12 celsius. ., ,, , ., north, nine - 12 celsius. thank you. we will see — north, nine - 12 celsius. thank you. we will see you _ north, nine - 12 celsius. thank you. we will see you later. _ let's take a look at some of today's papers. the guardian reports that private hospitals are doing one in ten of all planned nhs operations, as patients continue to face long waits for treatment. we've lost faith injustice is the headline on the times, which has interviewed the mothers of two students fatally stabbed in nottingham last summer. later on breakfast we'll hear from the families of those who died. the sun splash concerns a woman who — with herfirst husband — won nearly 150 million on the lottery in 2012. the paper claims she's now separated

on day three, still 156 behind, and staring at a 4—1 series defeat. it could be a great weekend for ireland rugby fans. it's the penultimate round of six nations matches and the grand slam champions will retain their title with a game to spare — if they get a bonus point win over england at twickenham later. if ireland slip up, scotland could take advantage — they're in rome, while wales play france on sunday. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilson reports. well, they are here, ireland at twickenham. they are not world champion's, but they stride that way, they shall play that way. three victories, 105 points, there six nations and so far. do you think this is the best irish team have ever been part of?— this is the best irish team have ever been part of? look, i've been luc to ever been part of? look, i've been lucky to play _ ever been part of? look, i've been lucky to play with _ ever been part of? look, i've been lucky to play with lots _ ever been part of? look, i've been lucky to play with lots of _ ever been part of? look, i've been lucky to play with lots of good - lucky to play with lots of good players and teams. if you were to,

anything. iam best. i do not like to predict anything. i am telling you, heavyweight boxing is a league of its own. it is a different division. anything can happen. ijust woke extremely hard. i think i need to wait a bit harder and be more but dedicated but i work as hard as they can. what will be will be. there are no prizes for guessing who's on pole for today's saudi arabia grand prix, but the driver everyone wanted to talk to after qualifying was an 18—year—old englishman. 0liver bearman will become the youngest briton to race in f1, after he was called up by ferrari to replace carlos sainz, who was diagnosed with appendicitis and needed surgery. bearman, who was born in essex, was injeddah competing in the formula 2 championship and had taken pole position for that race when he received the surprise promotion. he'll start from 11th place on the grid — not bad in a field of 20, with the likes of daniel ricciardo, nico hulkenberg, and valtteri bottas behind him. oh, and pole went to max verstappen, of course, but it was bearman's performance that impressed the most.

the battle for automatic promotion from the championship is intensifying by the week. leeds united are back in the second spot, thanks to victory at sheffield wednesday. against a resurgent wednesday side who'd won four in a row, leeds went ahead just before half—time — junior firpo sent in a beautiful cross and patrick bamford was there to poke home. and a calm finish from willy gnonto gave leeds their second. they're two points behind leicester, but ipswich can leapfrog them again this afternoon. it just goes itjust goes on and on. they swap at the top. wednesday stay in the relegation zone. arsenal are all but nailed on for a champions league spot, but have higher targets in their sight as they aim to win the premier league. they've been in sensational form of late, having not lost in the league this year, scoring 21 goals in their last four league matches. but they're still third in the table, two points behind liverpool and one behind city. ahead of hosting this evening,

manager mikel arteta credits their winter trip to dubai with the turnaround, saying "everything clicked" after that. the experience is a factor. they have played _ the experience is a factor. they have played more _ the experience is a factor. they have played more time - the experience is a factor. the: have played more time together the experience is a factor. t"ia: have played more time together as well. they understand where we have to compete in the demand that we have to put ourselves better. the confidence grows when the results go their way in their performance as well. manchester united manager erik ten hag says no team could cope with as many injuries as they've had this season. they're without ten players for the lunchtime kick—off at home to everton. their defeat in the manchester derby on sunday was ten hag's100th game in charge at united, although he does have 61 wins, which is a better record thanjurgen klopp and mikel arteta in theirfirst100 games at liverpool and arsenal. they're sixth in the table but 11 points behind aston villa in the fourth and final champions league spot. we wa nt we want to be successful. we needed

to be successful. sometimes it is like a goal now, we do not accept that. we will fight. we have had problems, we still have problems within our squad, with injuries, within our squad, with injuries, with the players who are available we will fight for it. in rugby league, salford red devils pulled off a super league shock, to win at st helens for the first time in 44 years. saints were ahead until the 75th minute, and on course to make it four wins from four, when deon cross went over to give salford the lead — they won by 24—20, moving up fourth in the table. st helens are still top on points difference. leeds produced a remarkable comeback to beat leigh in the super league. leigh took a 16—0 lead and looked to be on course for their first win of the season, but leeds scored three tries in 13 minutes — including this one from ash handley, which put them level. and he crossed again for his seventh try of the season to give them victory by 22—16.

in sport, the youngest briton ever to race in formula 1, aged just 18, oliver bearman will make his debut in the saudi arabia grand prix later — called up by ferrari to replace the injured carlos sainz. good morning, it may feel they spring is in the air but over this weekend it will be a bit more unsettled with more cloud and some reno times. the full forecast very shortly. it's saturday, the 9th of march. our main story: police officers, firefighters and other public servants who have died in the line of duty will now be honoured after their death. the elizabeth emblem is the civilian equivalent of the elizabeth cross, which recognises members of the uk armed forces who died in action or as a result of a terrorist attack. the announcement comes after years of campaigning by bryn hughes and paul bone, whose police officer daughters were murdered in 2012. 0ur reporter abi smitton has more. why was its local mps shot and stabbed?

doing what they dread, investigating the death of one of their own. more than 100 nhs and care staff. have now died with the coronavirus. they dedicated themselves to public service and all lost their lives doing their duty. now their families will be able to celebrate them with a posthumous award. the elizabeth emblem comes after years of campaigning from bryn hughes. i am absolutely overwhelmed, fantastic, elated. humbled. all roads lead into one. hard to sum it up and describe it one word. it is a massive achievement for everybody involved. his daughter, pc nicola hughes, was murdered in 2012 while attending a burglary. two years ago, he set out his vision of an award for the families of emergency services workers killed in the line of duty. that is important for me, really important that they are honoured and remembered. now his dream has become a reality. notjust for blue light services

but all public sector workers. once you see their reactions, i think they will bring it home. like you said, the magnitude of it. that is a sense of achievement as well. the emblem will be open to families of public—sector workers across the uk, local council and in british overseas territories. it will apply to anyone who lost their life since 1948. each elizabeth emblem will be inscribed with the phrase "for a life given in service". it has been backed by the king and pays tribute to the late queen. this emblem will bear the name of her late majesty queen elizabeth. we think of the decades of public service she gave our nation. it is only fitting that our tribute to public servants who have lost their lives in the line of duty should bear her name. paul bone, whose daughter fiona died alongside nicola,

will be one of the first to apply. the circumstances of wearing it will remind me of her loss. i think on the next remembrance day, i will be wearing it. families can apply online through the government website from today. abi smitton, bbc news. it is 7.04. taking a look at a story were potentially hopeful new parents being tragically disappointed? a london fertility clinic has had its licence suspended because of "significant concerns" about the unit. the homerton fertility centre said there had been three separate incidents involving errors in the freezing of embryos. 0ur correspondent zoe conway is outside the clinic in hackney. such a worrying story for anyone who

one patient who says she is distraught and emotionally drained because one of her embryos cannot be found. the clinic says it has apologise for any distress that has been caused to patients and it says that for those that have already undergone a treatment, they will continue but there will be no new treatment cycles as long as a suspension it lasts. this is not the first time that the regulator has had concerns about this clinic. in 2022, it said there were whistle—blowers who were concerned about the leadership, the welfare of patients and staff and the working conditions at this clinic.— patients and staff and the working conditions at this clinic. thank you very much- _ a ship carrying desperately needed humanitarian aid is expected to set sail for gaza this weekend. the spanish vessel is scheduled to depart from cyprus and will aim to use a newly opened shipping route. 0ur correspondent wyre davies is injerusalem for us this morning.

be desperate with 25% of the population at risk of starvation at 300,000 people in the north of gaza needing food and medical aid and the aid agencies these maritime corals might look good as do the air drops but the real way of tackling the aids crisis is to persuade israel to allow more aid in by road. that is the obvious way of doing it but there was no ceasefire that will allow that to happen is the meantime, we need to have these corridors by sea and we willjust see how they work today. corridors by sea and we will 'ust see how they work today. the health ombudsman for england has warned that an overstretched and understaffed nhs is putting cancer patients at risk. rob behrens says exhausted workers are under "unsustainable pressure", and the government should invest in the workforce. ministers say their nhs long term workforce plan will boost the number of staff. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has more. a recent analysis by the bbc suggested cancer waiting times in england last year were the worst on record.

now there are new figures from the health ombudsman who investigates unresolved complaints about nhs england government departments and other public organisations. they highlight problems in cancer treatment, misdiagnosis, poor communication referrals and end—of—life care. the ombudsman, rob behrens, says while everyone deserves safe and effective care, patient safety would always be at risk in environments that are understaffed and where staff are exhausted and working under unsustainable pressure. i continually come across failures in service despite the excellence of so many dedicated clinicians and staff in the nhs. that is the reality we have to live with and confront. being shocked is not enough, what we have to do is to create a learning culture in the nhs. he has called for what he described as concerted and sustained action from government to make sure

that nhs leaders can prioritise safety, and a key part of that, he said, would mean a long—term investment in the workforce. a spokesperson for the department of health and social care said a record number of cancer patients had been seen and treated over the past two years and the nhs long—term workforce plan would boost healthcare workers diagnosing and treating cancer. dominic hughes, bbc news. there's a call for bailiffs to be legally required to join a new organisation to raise standards in the industry. the labour mp, yvonne fovargue, who chairs the all party parliamentary group on debt and personal finance, said the enforcement conduct board should also be made more independent. police forces across england and wales are to each be given £1 million to try and tackle rising cases of antisocial behaviour. the fund will be used to provide extra officer patrols. it follows the success of a pilot project which has helped reduce the number of incidents by as much as 40%. police have arrested

us. and, throughout the country, like ukraine's other ellaz, germany has had to decide what kind of military hardware it will provide —— allies. russia want to influence these kind of decisions. the leaked german conversation may be part of an effort to do that. the german conversation may be part of an effort to do that.— an effort to do that. the matter in which it has _ an effort to do that. the matter in which it has been _ an effort to do that. the matter in which it has been exploited - an effort to do that. the matter in which it has been exploited by - an effort to do that. the matter in which it has been exploited by the russians is an indication of russia's attempts to divide was in support of ukraine and to intimidate the west, to play on the west's fears of escalation. this leak is another example of that in practice. what the league certainly confirms is that the west continues to grapple with the best route forward in this war. ros atkins there. you're watching breakfast. still to come this morning: gladiator ready! it's the '90s comeback that's taken our saturday nights by storm. we'll bejoined by gladiators fire and steel ahead of tonight's semi—final.

joined the ferrari driver academy, where he rapidly progressed through to f2, reaching his fourth pole position in the category earlier this week. here he is yesterday, as he took part in his first fi qualifying stint, where he came in 11th place for today's race. and this is his father david, looking on anxiously during that race. but bearman is not a complete stranger to the fi wheel though, having driven in first practice at both the mexico and abu—dhabi grand prix's last season. ferrari's charles leclerc had this message for his younger colleague ahead of his fi debut. iam happy i am happy for him obviously. it is a very special day and the first race in a ferrari, having done only one session is even more special. i hope that we can have a great race

and score good points. in cricket, what a day forjimmy anderson. he's become the first fast bowler to reach 700 test wickets. he did it by dismissing kuldeep yadav earlier this morning. only the late shane warne and sri lankan spinner muttiah muralitha ran — both spin bowlers — have taken more wickets. a remarkable achievement, and at iii, anderson seems to be going as well as ever. the same can't be said for england though. they are on the brink of defeat again. after quickly dismissing india for a77 all out. a few moments ago they were ilii for 8 in their second innings on day three. staring at a 4—1 series defeat. it could be a great weekend for ireland rugby fans. it's the penultimate round of six nations matches, and the grand slam champions will retain their 6 nations title, with a game to spare, if they get a bonus point win, over england at twickenham later. if ireland slip up, scotland could take advantage — they're in rome, while wales

play france on sunday. our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. well, they're here, ireland at twickenham. they're not world champions, but they stride that way, they sure play that way. three victories, 105 points, their six nations so far. do you think this is the best irish team you have ever been part of? look, i've been lucky to play with lots of good players and teams. if you were to, you know, if i had to nail the colours i would say yes. well, whoever the opponents and whatever the predictions, england are at home and these seats will be filled with some level of expectation. england know that. what do you think those spectators want or need? i don't know. i think it's different for everyone, some people say they want passion, they want people looking like they're enjoying themselves, and obviously benny is a very

passionate man who likes to enjoy himself at every given moment and everyone starts getting into him. i think there's a balance, but at the moment you can't please everyone. it is just one of them, and we want the fans to be proud, see it as a team that is working hard, working for each other, and most importantly proud of where we are. there are england players who have enjoyed playing ireland before, danny care's done most things over 16 years as an international, now his 100th cap awaits. meanwhile, scotland, having beaten england in their last match, travel to rome, speaking respectfully about italy. there is jack all they can carry, they don't tire, that might have been the case previously with italian teams, it will be one of our biggest tests this season. as scotland and everyone wait for ireland to possibly lose, ireland already now how they are getting home, they've painted the plane — that usually happens for champions. joe wilson, bbc news, twickenham.

anthonyjoshua delivered another powerful statement to the heavyweight division in riyadh last night. he managed a destructive second—round knockout win over francis ngannou in saudi arabia. joshua floored the ufc champion, in the first round and again early in the second. a dazed ngannou rose to his feet but was stunned moments later as the referee halted the contest. ngannou appeared to be out, before he even hit the canvas, and required medical treatment. so what next forjoshua? talk has inevitably turned to tyson fury and alexander usyk. one of eight them both? it should not really be one or the other. i should have the opportunity to compete with them both. there are so many other fighters i want to compete with. did you ask me about the winner, i think both of them are incredible fighters and i would love the opportunity to raise them at some stage was up the battle for automatic promotion from the championship is the most intense it's ever been,

and leeds united are back in the second spot, thanks to victory at sheffield wednesday. against a resurgent wednesday side who'd won four in a row, leeds went ahead just before half time — junior firpo sent in a beautiful cross and patrick bamford was there to poke home. and a calm finish from willy gnonto gave leeds their second. a very powerfulfinish a very powerful finish as well. they're two points behind leicester — but ipswich can go above them again this afternoon with a win at cardiff. wednesday stay in the relegation zone. arsenal are all but nailed on for a champions league spot but have higher targets in their sight as they aim to win the premier league. they've been in sensational form of late — having not lost in the league this year, scoring 21 goals in their last four league matches. but they're still third in the table, two points behind liverpool and one behind city. ahead of hosting brentford this evening, manager mikel arteta credits their winter trip to dubai, with the turnaround, saying "everything clicked" after that. the experience is a factor.

they have played more time together as well. they understand where we have to compete in the demand that we have to put ourselves better. the confidence grows when the results go their way in their performance as well. manchester united manager erik ten hag says no team could cope with as many injuries as they've had this season. they're without 10 players for the lunchtime kick—off at home to everton. their defeat in the manchester derby on sunday was ten hag's 100th game in charge at united — although he does have 61 wins, which is a better record thanjurgen klopp and mikel arteta in theirfirst 100 games at liverpool and arsenal. they're sixth in the table, but 11 points behind aston villa the final champions league spot. we want to be successful. we needed to be successful. sometimes it is like a goal now, we do not accept that. we will fight.

we have had problems, we still have problems within our squad, with injuries. with the players who are available, we will fight for it. in rugby league, salford red devils pulled off a super league shock, to win at st helens for the first time in 44 years. saints were ahead until the 75th minute, and on course to make it four wins from four, when deon cross, went over to give salford the lead — they won by 24—20, moving up fourth in the table. st helens are still top on points difference. leeds produced a remarkable comeback to beat leigh in the super league. leigh took a 16—0 lead, and looked to be on course for their first win of the season, but leeds scored three tries in 13 minutes — including this one from ash handley which put them level — and he crossed again for his seventh try of the season to give them victory by 22—16. andy murray is out of

the indian wells tournament at the third round stage murray fell to a straight—set defeat against the russian fifth seed andrey rublev. three time grand slam champion murray — who's 36 now — has said he's not planning to "play much past this summer" as he considers retirement, with this years olympics possibly being his last hurrah. certainly beautiful blue skies there. interesting to see what it will be like at twickenham in the rugby. i will be like at twickenham in the ru:b . . , will be like at twickenham in the ru.b _ ., , ., will be like at twickenham in the ru:b . . , ., ., will be like at twickenham in the ruib, ., ., will be like at twickenham in the rub. ., ., will be like at twickenham in the rub . ., ., ., ., rugby. i was going to say from what i read, rugby. i was going to say from what i read. hello — rugby. i was going to say from what i read. hello by _ rugby. i was going to say from what i read, hello by the _ rugby. i was going to say from what i read, hello by the way! _ rugby. i was going to say from what i read, hello by the way! andy i i read, hello by the way! andy murray in the first set, he played amazing tennis.— murray in the first set, he played amazing tennis. when it comes to takin: the amazing tennis. when it comes to taking the sets, _ amazing tennis. when it comes to taking the sets, that _ amazing tennis. when it comes to taking the sets, that is _ amazing tennis. when it comes to taking the sets, that is the - amazing tennis. when it comes to taking the sets, that is the thing. | taking the sets, that is the thing. the old murray watt have seen that set out. ~ ,,., , the old murray watt have seen that setout. , , the old murray watt have seen that setout. , ., set out. absolutely. passes you are. there ou set out. absolutely. passes you are. there you go- _ set out. absolutely. passes you are. there you go. over _ set out. absolutely. passes you are. there you go. over to _ set out. absolutely. passes you are. there you go. over to simon. i there you go. over to simon. twickenham and rome. |

be quite a bit of cloud once again and with the easterly winds there could be a future showers or spots of rain across is in scotland and the eastern coastal counties of england. sunny spells trying to break through any marginal sunshine, it is getting stronger. it will help break the cloud up. temperatures about 6— ii break the cloud up. temperatures about 6— 11 degrees, around about the average for the time of year. the rest of the week, some low pressure that will move its way towards north—western areas of the uk, the breeze picks and sabrina times for northern ireland and scotland. the closer you are to this area of high pressure it will be more settled. one or two showers down south eastern areas throughout the weaker temperatures rising about 11- 15 the weaker temperatures rising about 11— 15 celsius and that will feel ii— 15 celsius and that will feel pleasant with some sunshine. further north and west will be cloudy, breezy and rain at times are well. temperature is about ii—i3.

week's newswatch. was there too much speculation before the budget about what might be in the budget? welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. coming up — we all found out what was in the chancellor's red box on wednesday. couldn't bbc news have held off reporting on it till then? and... this is the starting gun for the next general election. the polls don't look good for your party, do they, particularly...? was it really possible to analyse jeremy hunt's announcements amidst all that background noise? it's been a big news week on both sides of the atlantic — with the budget dominating the domestic agenda, and in the united states, the president's state of the union address and super tuesday. the latter, a series of primary votes in 15 states and one territory, crucial in selecting the candidates for this autumn's

presidential election, pretty much confirmed what we already knew — that we're heading for a rerun contest of biden versus trump. the bbc�*s coverage elicited this response from graham, in chingford... last week, we broadcast a plea from viewer alan watts for a ban on the word "expected" and on speculation in general in regard to coverage leading up to the budget. as we speculated might be the case, his appeal fell on deaf ears. so, do we have any sense of which taxes might be cut? the government wants a positive headline, so we understand they are carrying on with trying to cut personal taxes. we've got the chancellor in two days' time. - if he was listening tonight, -

what are you hoping he might do for some of the people who've spoken on this evening? — at six, the chancellor is expected to cut national insurance by 2p when he unveils his budget tomorrow. other measures may include a squeeze on council budgets in england. we'll get the latest from our experts chris mason and faisal islam. well, we hoped to discuss how bbc news reported on the lead—up to the budget with a senior executive, but we were told no one was available. instead, they gave us this statement... we arejoined, though,

by one of the viewers who got in touch with us on this subject, bob skipworth. bob, thank you for coming on newswatch. why did you get in touch? precisely because the news bulletin began with something that wasn't news, it was just speculation. and this was, what, the day before the budget — days before the budget? the 6pm news, the day before the budget. so, would you rather the bbc not discuss the budget at all before it happened? certainly not, no, i think it could have been an item later on in the bulletin simply saying something like, "well, "we all know tomorrow is the budget, and there's been a lot "of speculation as to what may or may not be in the budget, "such as tax cuts or cuts to national insurance. "but we'll have to wait and see what happens tomorrow, "then we'll analyse it further." yeah — so the chancellor, as you'll know, was on the laura kuenssberg programme the sunday before the budget. would you rather the bbc hadn't had him on? it's a common practice these days to have him on before the budget, but it would be far more useful to have him on after

the budget, surely. do you think the bbc should be making that the condition? that they should say, "come on after, not before"? well, i think it's the easiest thing to do. much more informative, really, he can say what he wants. he was supposed to be in purdah — that was the old way of doing it, wasn't it? well, absolutely. nowjournalists, it's clear nowadays, are being briefed by government figures on what might be in it. i suppose there's a question about, isn't it fair ifjournalists then share that information with the public? i have to look at that with — take a big pinch of salt, because we all know that governments indulge in kite—flying before something like a budget. there was talk of inheritance tax being cut, income tax being cut — and of course, they test the waters this way, and then, the bbc rise to the bait and splash it all over their news bulletins. so, you're saying, although politicians are to blame for, as you say, putting stuff out there to see how it lands with the public, you don't think the bbc should be indulging that at all?

they should, but not to the extent that they do. it was not a major item of news. ukraine and gaza were well down the schedule on that day, when really, we were looking at what i would describe as the "bbc crystal ball at six," not news at six. bob, i suppose one of the things that bbc might say is, "all the other major broadcasters were doing speculation of a similar kind." wouldn't the bbc look stupid if they didn't do some of this speculation in the run—up to the budget, too? i think they've put themselves a head above the crowd, really. bob skipworth, thank you so much. my pleasure. well, if the charge of speculating on the news sounds like a familiar refrain, so too is a point made by several viewers about another aspect of the budget coverage. here's rajini vaidyanathan with conservative mpjames daily, live outside parliament for the news channel on wednesday afternoon.

so, let me phrase that better... tories out, tories out! distracted by that over there, let's start this again. erm, there are many people who say that these tax cuts, you know, at a time where... i apologise, i'll start that again. tories out, tories out! why do you think this is an election—winning budget? just as we stopped that interview with james daly. .. general election now! i said it was going to quieten down, and it hasn't. we are grateful that you continued through this interview amid all the noise. thank you so much, deputy chair of the conservative party, james daly. thank you very much. tories out, tories out! we're carrying on despite the noise in the background... credit to rajini for ploughing on there — butjillian saxon was amongst those unimpressed with that, and she sent us her reaction. is there anything that can be done about the loud and boring heckling that goes on when politicians are being interviewed on college green? it was appalling on wednesday after the budget. i couldn't concentrate on what the interviewers

or the interviewees were saying — and at times, neither could they, and i felt quite sorry for them. is there some kind of sound protection zone you can set up? either that, or you'll have to do the interview somewhere else, because it's just not comfortable to listen to. i'm sure the people doing the heckling think they're standing up for free speech — but all they're doing is just shouting everybody down. a sound protection zone — you mean, like a studio? monday's news at one led on comments made by the detective in charge of the sarah everard murder inquiry, when she was told the chief suspect was a serving police officer. the interview featured in a documentary that was being aired the following night — as presenter ben brown made clear. and sarah everard: the search forjustice is on bbc one at 9pm tomorrow evening, and it's also available on bbc iplayer. a few minutes later, the bulletin ran a report about the risks of artificial intelligence being used to mislead

voters ahead of the us election. again, this was linked to another programme — in this case, that night's panorama, as was again acknowledged on the news at one. and you can see that edition of panorama, trump: the sequel, on bbc one at 8pm tonight, and it's also available on the bbc iplayer. those reports both also featured on the news at six. and, though they may have had news value and interest for some viewers, that wasn't the case for carol beveridge. .. stephanie rowley thought she'd detected a trend...

two weeks ago on newswatch, some viewers alerted us to a couple of mistakes that appeared on the news ticker, running along the bottom of the screen on the news channel, within a few seconds of each other. errors occur, of course, but the perception was that they had become more common. lo and behold, this was what appeared on the channel last week. keep your eye again on the text at the bottom of the screen. it is footage shot by a video journalist for the associated press with his colleagues in mariupol in 2022, as russian forces began to encircle the ukrainian port city. this film tells the story of the first 20 days of 86 days' siege of mariupol. that sentence, "michael gove, placed investigated "by common standards watchdog," was still appearing on air an hour—and—a—half on, while the reference to a "dopping ban" — spelt with two ps, rather than a doping ban —

could be seen uncorrected a full five hours later. steve davies wondered... while clare phillips commented wryly... and we received this phone message with a generous offer. hello, i was just wondering if you were interested in employing any proofreaders? because i read your news every day, and it's getting worse. turns out, i can actually complete a sentence that makes sense, so could be a great asset to you. so if you did any help there down at the bbc, don't hesitate to call me — henry talbot, very happy to help you. well, this was another topic we wanted to discuss with a bbc news executive or editor — again, though, no one was available. but we are planning to bring it up when we do get to speak to someone. thank you for all your comments this week.

if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online, and social media, email newswatch@bbc.co.uk, or you can find us on x — formerly known as twitter — at @newswatchbbc. you can call us on 03700106676. and do you have a look at previous interviews on our website, bbc.co.uk/newswatch. that's all from us for now, thank you forjoining us. do think about getting in touch, and perhaps even coming on the programme. we'll be back to hear more of your thoughts about how the bbc covers the news next week. goodbye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today... a new award for public servants who die in the line of duty. the elizabeth emblem is a form of national recognition for their families. absolutely overwhelmed, fantastic, elated, humbled, all those rolled into one, i think _ a fertility clinic in london has its license suspended after admitting errors in the freezing of embryos. stepping up the fight against anti—social behaviour. targeted patrols are rolled out by police forces across england. in sport, the tireless jimmy anderson takes his 700th test wicket — the first fast bowler to reach the landmark

but england are facing another defeat against india. good morning. it may feel like spring is in the air but over this weekend it will be more unsettled, more cloud and some rain at times. i'll have the full forecast very shortly. gladiators, ready... it's been the runaway tv hit of the year so far and tonight gladiators reaches the semi finals. we'll be joined by steel and fire. it's saturday the 9th of march. our main story. police officers, firefighters and other public servants who have the elizabeth emblem is the civilian equivalent of the elizabeth cross, which recognises members of the uk armed forces who died in action or as a result of a terrorist attack. the announcement comes after years of campaigning

by bryn hughes and paul bone, whose daughters, both police officers, were murdered in 2012. our reporter abi smitton has more. why was its local mp jo cox shot and stabbed? doing what they dread, - investigating the death of one of their own. more than 100 nhs and care staff have now died with the coronavirus. they dedicated themselves to public service and all lost their lives doing their duty. now their families will be able to celebrate them with a posthumous award. the elizabeth emblem comes after years of campaigning from bryn hughes. i am absolutely overwhelmed, fantastic, elated. humbled. all those rolled into one. hard to sum it up and describe it one word. it is a massive achievement for everybody involved. his daughter, pc nicola hughes, was murdered in 2012 while attending a burglary. two years ago, he set out his vision of an award for the families

of emergency services workers killed in the line of duty. that is important for me, really important that they are honoured and remembered. now his dream has become a reality. notjust for blue light services but all public sector workers. once you see their reactions, i think they will bring it home. like you said, the magnitude of it. that is a sense of achievement as well. the elizabeth emblem will be open to families of public—sector workers across the uk, local council and in british overseas territories. it will apply to anyone who lost their life since 19118. each elizabeth emblem will be inscribed with the poignant phrase "for a life given in service". it has been backed by the king and pays tribute to the late queen. this emblem will bear the name of her late majesty queen elizabeth. we think of the decades of public service she gave our nation.

it is only fitting that our tribute to public servants who have lost their lives in the line of duty should bear her name. paul bone, whose daughter fiona died alongside nicola, will be one of the first to apply. the circumstances of wearing it will remind me of her loss. i think on the next remembrance sunday, i will be wearing it. families can apply online through the government website from today. abi smitton, bbc news. it is four minutes past eight and charlie, you are looking at a story, potential new parents could be devastated by this news? a london fertility clinic has had its licence suspended because of "significant concerns" about the unit. the homerton fertility centre said there had been three separate

incidents involving errors in the freezing of embryos. our correspondent zoe conway is outside the clinic in hackney. good morning to you. this will be of real concern to anyone who has used the facility? {us real concern to anyone who has used the facility?— the facility? 496 is saying is that in those incidents _ the facility? 496 is saying is that in those incidents where - the facility? 496 is saying is that in those incidents where there i the facility? 496 is saying is that i in those incidents where there has been an error in the freezing process, this has led to a tragic loss of a small number of embryos because they either didn't survive or they cannot be detected and the clinic says it has called in external clinical experts to try and find out what has gone on but they have not yet found a direct cause. we know the metropolitan police were here at the clinic yesterday but they say they are not currently investigating. the clinic says it has tightened security measures at the unit. what the bbc understands is that we thank up to 150 embryos

were involved. and 45 patients could be affected. one patient we spoke to said she was distraught and emotionally drained because she had been told that one half her embryos could not be found. the clinic says it has apologised to all the patients affected for any distress caused and get set for those who have already started their treatment, those cycles will go ahead but those ones that are scheduled and have not yet started, all of those have been suspended. this is not the first time the regulator has had concerns about this clinic. two years ago it said whistle—blowers were concerned about the leadership of the clinic, the welfare of patients and staff and the working conditions. for welfare of patients and staff and the working conditions.- the working conditions. for the moment. _ the working conditions. for the moment, thank _ the working conditions. for the moment, thank you. _ a ship carrying desperately needed humanitarian aid is expected to set sail for gaza this weekend. the spanish vessel is scheduled to depart from cyprus and will aim to use a newly

opened shipping route. our correspondent wyre davies is injerusalem for us and sent this report. some supplies is the key term. at becomes and will not be enough to tackle the huge humanitarian crisis. everyone from foreign governments to aid agencies say the way of tackling this crisis is to get more tracks and overland through israel, about 100 trucks a day are making at the estimate is at least 500 trucks a day are needed especially in the northern part of gaza for the people are dying from malnutrition, there is a lack of food and medical supplies but in the absence of more trucks overland because that is not a ceasefire, they've got these maritime corridors. there are two plans, the plan from john biden to build this huge dork of the cost of gas at a mobility for at least two

months and this year, uae sponsored plan, a ship leave cyprus turns a barge carrying aid to cyprus but thatis barge carrying aid to cyprus but that is the problem, there is no doc and nowhere for the ship to land and there is now way of unloading the eight, a real security situation with hundreds of thousands of desperately hungry people, how well you unlock that in a safe and secure manner? those points have not been revealed yet and there is a lot of concern about the visibility and practicality of this operation but it is going ahead, it will be the first test shipment today and if it works, then that i think according to schiller bond a lion works, then that i think according to schiller bond a [ion at the european commission will become a regular way of getting it into gaza but again, the real way of tackling this will be to allow more in overland and through israel. the duchess of sussex has criticised what she said was the "seemingly endless toxicity" of social media.

meghan described being "targetted with bullying and abuse" while pregnant with archie and lilibet, and says she now keeps her distance from online comments. she was speaking at an event in texas to mark international women's day. to really wrap your head around why people would be so hateful, in the digital space and in certain sectors of the media, we have forgotten about our humanity. that has got to change because they understand there is a bottom line and i understand a lot of money has been made there. but even if it is making dollars, it is not making sense. the health ombudsman for england has warned that an overstretched and understaffed nhs is putting cancer patients at risk. rob behrens says exhausted workers are under "unsustainable pressure", and the government should invest in the workforce. ministers say their nhs long term workforce plan will boost the number of staff. our health correspondent dominic hughes has more. a recent analysis by the bbc suggested cancer waiting times in england last year

were the worst on record. now there are new figures from the health ombudsman who investigates unresolved complaints about nhs england government departments and other public organisations. they highlight problems in cancer treatment, misdiagnosis, poor communication referrals and end—of—life care. the ombudsman, rob behrens, says while everyone deserves safe and effective care, patient safety would always be at risk in environments that are understaffed and where staff are exhausted and working under unsustainable pressure. i continually come across failures in service despite the excellence of so many dedicated clinicians and staff in the nhs. that is the reality we have to live with and confront. being shocked is not enough, what we have to do is to create a learning culture in the nhs. he has called for what he described as concerted and sustained

action from government to make sure that nhs leaders can prioritise safety, and a key part of that, he said, would mean a long—term investment in the workforce. a spokesperson for the department of health and social care said a record number of cancer patients had been seen and treated over the past two years and the nhs long—term workforce plan would boost healthcare workers diagnosing and treating cancer. dominic hughes, bbc news. there's a call for bailiffs to be legally required to join a new organisation to raise standards in the industry. the labour mp, yvonne fovargue — who chairs the all—party parliamentary group on debt and personal finance — said the enforcement conduct board should also be made more independent. police have arrested an 11—year—old boy who was found behind the wheel of a bmw. the 4x4 had cloned registration plates and was towing a suspected stolen caravan along the m1 motorway. officers said the boy was held

on suspicion of theft, burglary and motoring offences — but was later released on bail. the pentagon has said that a new study found no evidence that any ufo sightings were due to aliens. there was a spike in unidentified object sightings in the 1950s and '60s — but a report today concluded that was most likely due to tests of advanced us spy planes and space technology. watch will be a disappointment to a lot of people. if watch will be a disappointment to a lot of people-— lot of people. if they believe it. and they will — lot of people. if they believe it. and they will carry _ lot of people. if they believe it. and they will carry on _ lot of people. if they believe it. and they will carry on believing | and they will carry on believing that there is something going on out there! yesterday on breakfast, we spoke to a couple who decided to swap the sound of church bells on their wedding day — for the blaring two—tone horn of an intercity train to wales. leah and vince smith met for the first time on a train, shared their first kiss on—board and have now exchanged

and into northern ireland. at four o'clock this afternoon, the sunshine continues in the north and west, temperature six or 7 degrees, cloudy in eastern scotland with rain moving northwards. there may be brighter skies in north wales, and towards the south—east of england, cloudy skies and rain continued in the south—west. looking at the average temperatures for this time of year, some of us are above average, others are a little bit below so fairly typical across the board for the time of year. going through some day, we start to see more in the way of rain moving in overnight tonight, pretty bad start tomorrow but with all the cloud and the outbreaks of rain, temperatures holding up about 6-8 rain, temperatures holding up about 6—8 degress ologic frost free, and the scottish mountains there will be forced over higher ground. on sunday we have rain which continues very

good part of the day across northern england into the midlands, south—eastern england, the rain gradually moving west into the afternoon towards east wales, temperatures perhaps lower through tomorrow compared to today, 6—11 . into next week, low pressure gradually moving to the east, a little bit quieter for many of us during monday but we have this feat of easterly winds continuing to bring cloud and there could be some showery rain in eastern scotland, the eastern side of england. some breaks in the cloud, sunshine getting stronger and stronger so we see some breaks in the club developing, and where you get the sunshine it will not feel too bad but temperature is typical for the time of year, 6—12 in london. beyond monday, we start to see this area of low pressure moving into the far north—west, the breeze picking

up far north—west, the breeze picking up got to the south—east, you are new at this area of high pressure so things more settled towards the south—east. possibly one or two showers but largely try and temperatures getting up to 15 or 16 degrees, feeling pleasant, further north and west it's cloudy, some rain at times, 11—13. north and west it's cloudy, some rain at times, 11—13 . simon, thank you. iam rain at times, 11—13 . simon, thank you. i am going to go this way. we are going to watch. laughter. he is out of here. the time now is 18 minutes past eight. people living in some parts of north—east england say a rise in anti—social behaviour has led to them being petrified in their own homes and scared to walk down the street at night. it comes as police forces in england and wales are each being given one million pounds to roll out targeted patrols from next month. martin lindsay reports on how anti—social behaviour is affecting one area. what you feel safe at home if this

this, spatial awareness, all the challenges she faces every day. she is being supported by a specialist habilitation worker. our reporter has been to see her to see how she's getting on. do some standing? yeah! milestones like standing up deserve a big celebration when you're born without eyes. baby margot has never and will never see to copy others. she doesn't yet necessarily understand that anybody walks. for all she knows, we all float. the world around her is a complete blank. every tiny little skill that you can possibly think of has got to be taught for margot. she's doing brilliantly. 16—month—old margot was diagnosed with the rare condition, bilateral anatomy. she will have prosthetic eyes fitted when she's older and will need her other senses to navigate the world. through her senses she will know whether, as her parents, we are in the room

or out of the room. as soon as she hears bernadette orjohn or i coming from afar, she smiles and she starts making noise. kate from the charity, guide dogs, works with margot every week to help her learn skills that seeing people take for granted. we had an understanding that there would be an awful lot of things that either margot might never do or that might be significantly delayed. she has surpassed our expectations. bish, bash! margot loves to sing, to listen to music and stories. don't tickle the seagull. you might make it screech. she's got four cousins and they all love her i to bits, and children, they don't recognise i anything, eitheryou| can see or can't see. she'sjust margot. so she's blessed. i mean, such a big family around her. she will achieve whatever things margo wants to achieve. as her parents, we won't let anything

the same can't be said for england. thev“re been thrashed by an innings and 64 runs in this fifth and final test. after dismissing india for 477, a few moments ago they were dismissed forjust 195 in their second innings, so they lose the series 4—1. anthonyjoshua has rediscovered his swagger, and delivered another powerful statement to the heavyweight division in riyadh last night. he managed a destructive second—round knockout win over francis ngannou in saudi arabia. joshua floored the ufc champion in the first round, and again early in the second. a dazed ngannou rose to his feet, but was stunned moments later, as the referee halted the contest. ngannou appeared to be out before he even hit the canvas, and required medical treatment. did i expect to win? i give my best. i don't like to predict anything. i'm telling you, heavyweight boxing is a league of its own, it's a different division, so anything can happen. ijust work hard, extremely hard — i think i can work

harder, be a bit more dedicated — but i work as hard as i can, and put the rest in god's hands, and what will be will be. it could be a great weekend for ireland rugby fans — it's the penultimate round of six nations matches, and the grand slam champions will retain their six nations title with a game to spare if they get a bonus point win over england at twickenham later. if ireland slip up, scotland could take advantage — they're in rome — while wales play france tomorrow. our sports correspondent, joe wilson reports. well, they're here — ireland at twickenham. they're not world champions, but they stride that way. they sure play that way. three victories, 105 points. their six nations so far. do you think this is the best irish team you've ever been part of? look, i've been lucky enough to play

with lots of good players and teams. if you were to... if i would have to nail the colours, i'd have to say yes. well, whoever the opponents and whatever the predictions, england are at home, and these seats will be filled with some level of expectation. england know that. what do you think those spectators want or need? well, there are other things different for everyone, because some people say they want passion. they want people looking like they're enjoying themselves. and then obviously, ben earls, a very passionate man who likes to enjoy himself every given moment and everyone starts getting into him. so i think there's a balance, but at the moment you can't please everyone. it's one of them. and we just want the fans to be proud, see that it's a team that's working hard, working for each other, and most importantly, proud of where we're from. there are england players who've enjoyed playing ireland before. danny care has done most things over

16 years as an international. now his 100th cap awaits. meanwhile, scotland, having beaten england in their last match, travel to rome, speaking respectfully about italy. jacka that conquered that don't tire. maybe it would have been the case a few years previously with italian teams. so we know it's going to be one of our biggest tests this season. as scotland and everyone wait for ireland to possibly lose. ireland already know how they're getting home. they've painted the plane. that usually happens for champions. joe wilson, bbc news, twickenham. there are no prizes for guessing who's on pole for today's saudi arabia grand prix — but the driver everyone wanted to talk to after qualifying was an 18—year—old englishman. oliver bearman, will become the youngest briton to race in f1, after he was called up by ferrari to replace carlos sainz, who was diagnosed with appendicitis and needed surgery. bearman, who was born in essex, as injeddah competing in the formula 2 championship, and had taken pole position for that

race, when he received the surprise promotion. he'll start from 11th place on the grid — not bad in a field of 20 — with the likes of daniel riccardo, nico hulkenberg, and valtteri bottas behind him. and pole went to max verstappen, of course — but it was bearman“s performance that impressed the most. the relentless pace at the top of the championship continues, with leeds united now back in the second automatic promotion spot, thanks to victory at sheffield wednesday. against a resurgent wednesday side who'd won four in a row, leeds went ahead just before half—time — junior firpo sent in a beautiful cross and patrick bamford was there to poke home. and a calm finish from willy gnonto gave leeds their second. they're two points behind leaders leicester, but ipswich can go above them again this afternoon with a win at cardiff.

wednesday stay in the relegation zone. next to rugby league — and huddersfield scored 50 points at bottom club castleford, while elsewhere, it was a night of comebacks, with salford red devils pulling off a super league shock to win at st helens for the first time in 44 years. saints were ahead until the 75th minute, and on course to make it four wins from four, when deon cross went over to give salford the lead. they won by 24—20, moving up to fourth in the table. st helens are still top on points difference. and leeds rhinos came back from an even worse position, to beat leigh in the super league. leigh leopards were 16—0 up and looked to be on course for their first win of the season — but leeds scored three tries in 13 minutes, including this one from ash handley, which put them level. and he crossed again for his seventh try of the season to give them victory by 22—16. age told in the end, it seems,

for andy murray, who is out of the indian wells tournament at the third round stage. murray played a superb first set and was 5—4 up, before losing that one on a tie break, and fell to a straight—set defeat against the russian fifth seed andrey rublev. three—time grand slam champion murray — who's 36 now — has said he's not planning to "play much past this summer" as he considers retirement, with this year's olympics possibly being his last hurrah. i think that would be a rather nice way to bow out, if he got an olympic medal. i wonder if you are going to enjoy what simon has got to tell you. a bit of everything this weekend, some of us started off quite misty and murky. that was the scene in swansea, we have a bit of low pressure situated across the west of

the uk throwing up showers. cloud and rain will move northwards. but you can see we have got a break in the cloud in the satellite picture, some sunshine for some. look at the blue skies in essex this morning, a lovely start to the day. through today we continue with a bit of sunshine towards east anglia, the south—east of england. some cloud and rain moving into northern england and eventually northern ireland as well. some showers continuing in south—west england and south wales, but also in these north—west of scotland. it will feel pleasant where you have got some sunshine into the afternoon. through the evening and tonight cloud will increase again, rain moves in across southern parts

of england spreading northwards. quite a wet start to sunday morning, quite a bit of rain around, but it will be frost free. as you go through the day on sunday it will be a wetter day for many of us, particularly towards part of southern scotland, northern england, into the midlands, south—east england. this rain will move eastwards into wales. a bit more rain coming into scotland in the afternoon as well. maximum temperatures on sunday perhaps just a little bit lower. all in all, not too bad for the weekend. into next week, a little bit quieter to start off in the week, but as we go through the week low pressure moves into northern and western areas of the uk with cloudy skies. i“v e i've always wanted to say these i“ve always wanted to say these words— i've always wanted to say these words— gladiators, read a? filth.
