6:37 am
and this week, we're looking back at some of our favourite travel show adventures there, kicking off with the time i headed to shetland to experience something that's firmly based in the islands�* viking past — although a big change is under way. drums beat sitting halfway between the scottish mainland and norway, the shetland islands have a unique combination of cultures. and today, the sleepy town of lerwick is facing an invasion from a long—dormant foe. all shout the vikings. cheering and shouting so this is up helly aa. it's one of a number of viking festivals that take place in shetland every year. this one in lerwick is the biggest. up helly aa is best known for its night—time procession. almost 1,000 people carry flaming torches through the streets,
6:38 am
then set fire to a replica viking ship. the day begins with a march through the town led by the jarl squad — a group of around 60 locals kitted out in elaborate viking garb. i mean, this is serious stuff. this is... yeah, yeah. so, who makes these? almost all of it was done in shetland. there was a design committee in the squad. what kind of money are we talking for an individual kit? between £2,000 and £3,000. wow! so, you need to be really serious about this — this is something you really commit to. yeah. the viking heritage of shetland - is something that most shetlanders are incredibly proud of. a lot of the place names in shetland are of scandinavian origin. _ and you'll hear my accent — it's this kind of strange amalgam of scots and old norn. _ those are the roots of our language. within the crowd, there are tourists from across the world.
6:39 am
but, fundamentally, this is a local tradition. there are rules for who can take part, which is why 2023 is a big year for up helly aa because it's the first time in the history of this beardy, testosterone—fuelled festival that women can join in. i think it's probably fair to say that the reaction to the announcement was broadly positive — although probably some people still cherish the format of the festival as it was. traditionally, women are the hostesses of the all—night parties that follow the procession. claire has some sympathy for those who want to keep it all as it was. my husband has been in nine jarl squads now. he's a joiner, he's a craftsman. i think it's a shame to forget what pride and delight lots of people involved in making these suits and making this event happen, from the hostesses in the halls, you know, they do those things very,
6:40 am
very well and they love it as it is. but i also — i am a woman and i have a daughter who's three, and i would love to see her participate on her own terms. women and girls have been taking part in other viking festivals around shetland for a few years but the changes to up helly aa won't transform it overnight. jarl squad members are nominated 15 years in advance, so they'll mostly remain male for a while yet. but the changes will have an immediate impact on thejunior up helly aa, which takes place right before the adult one. i'm on my way to meet one young torchbearer. hello! hi, there! hi, there. i'm christa. come in. you must be joni. yeah. so, can you walk along the route withjoni as well? yes, yes. oh, that's great. joni's one of around 30 girls who'll be taking part for the first time. what are you looking forward to most? probably throwing the torch into the galley.
6:41 am
the torch might get a bit heavy to carry, so we've made these tins where we put it in so it, like, lifts some of the weight off of you. brilliant! as the day draws to an end in lerwick, the festivities start to heat up. i'm standing here with a lot of proud parents as the members of the junior procession light up their torches and get ready to set off across town. hopefully, we can catch sight ofjoni. behind the jarl squad, the other revellers are dressed not in viking gear, but in fancy dress. and sure enough, we see lots of girls taking part... ..including joni. not long after thejunior procession, it's the grown—ups�* turn. # and wake the mighty memories. # of heroes that are dumb. # the waves are rolling on. the atmosphere is brilliant. you've got the singing, lots of shouting. they've turned off the street
6:42 am
lights so you've just got this torchlight around. but you do have to be a bit cautious because if a gust of wind comes by, the embers fly from the torches and land on your clothes. you've got to be vigilant or you'll go home with a few holes! as the adult procession passes by, we don't see many women taking part but any controversy hasn't stopped crowds of people turning out to watch. did you have any feelings yourself about girls being able to participate? yeah, well, our boys are involved. if we would've had two girls, i suppose we'd have been keen that they could be involved as well. after a circuit, the procession files into a local play park. three cheers for up helly aa. hip, hip! crowd: hooray! hip, hip! hooray! we've got the torches going in, i can see viking helmets, the galley going up in flame. the embers above just being blown around by this mad wind. this is an incredible experience.
6:43 am
and who knows? maybe they'll make a viking of me yet. and up helly aa takes place on the last tuesday of every january and if you're thinking of going, just hope and pray that the rain stays vertical and not horizontal. well, staying with the islands, we're travelling south now and heading to orkney — a place i've loved exploring over the years and learning more about its fascinating prehistoric past at places like skara brae and the ring of brodgar. with a history stretching back more than 5,000 years, it's no surprise that orkney is a place of myth and legend, where it seems that everyone has a story to tell. this story takes place on the island of stronsay, one of the north isles in orkney, and it involves a young lady by the name of ursula. you don't see so many fairies around the west mainland any more,
6:44 am
and there is a reason for that. you see, a terrible thing happened long ago. there was a terrible... and she could make her own choices about who she married. and she owned everything around her. stories have been around as long as language has been around - and these stories are very much part of our cultural identity. _ part of what makes i orcadians orcadians. orkney's quite a unique place. we have, you know, 5,000—year—old villages still standing, _ you know, stone circles. just standing on a shore _ and watching huge breakers rolling in from the atlantic ocean, it's really quite hypnotic. i violent but peaceful at the same time. i and it was always that ever present risk and danger- from the sea as well that has -
6:45 am
a strong influence on the folktales. orkney has a very, very rich heritage of folklore — about the strange creatures, about the selkie folk who are half seal and half human. every mound in a field has its little goblins and fairies and brownies. you know, every age that... that humans go through, there's the search for some sort of spiritual meaning, those kind of connections with the land or the sea or the sky. and i think folklore is a way of exploring those things. the orkney storytelling festival is in its tenth year in its present form. we have wonderful invited storytellers who come from all over the world. sometimes the stories are very similar. you know, a lot of places have a creation myth about how an island was formed or how
6:46 am
a mountain came to be. and there's a lot of similarities. it's wonderful if people come and hear a story from africa or a story from norway or a story from north america, a story from orkney. and they think, "i wonder if there are any stories "about the place that i come from?" now, we're going to hear from a lot of different people today, friends from near and far. you can decide at the end if this really happened. i the waves were coming up over the harbour. the wind was blowing... and every single time she broke a lump off, a mouse fell out until there was a whole squad of mice. the next day, hare showed up at otter's place and otter had | prepared a beautiful feast for him. tonight is the last night of the orkney storytelling festival and it's the grand finale. so it's the absolute best of the best. applause she had no money left. she had her hair done,
6:47 am
she had a nice, new dress. audience laughs the next young man - had spit on the coals of the fire - and the coals flame up... i think stories really unite people. and i think if you have this shared experience and shared cultural heritage, it does make you stronger because...e5pecially if there are values in the stories that you really identify with and that are really important to you. say, yes, i belong to the culture that owns these stories. for storytelling and the folklore to survive, it has to have a framework. it has to be an organised thing. and that's one of the reasons that we do what we do. it's one of the reasons why we have the festival. from the highlands and islands, we're heading to a city that has an identity very much all of its own. glasgow is well known for its proud
6:48 am
industrial history and its gritty humour, but it's also the most multicultural city in scotland, a fact that came to the fore when we went looking for a new take on a scottish tradition earlier this year. january in scotland can be a dreich affair. the days are short, the weather cold and wet. maybe that's why back in 1801, a group of friends came up with an event to warm up the winter nights and celebrate the life of our national bard — robert burns. burns night is a lively evening of poetry, performance and what's probably scotland's most famous meal. so this is what you usually get in a traditional burns supper. you've got tatties, or mashed potatoes, neeps, aka swede, and taking centre stage, you've got the beloved haggis. haggis has achieved near—mythical
6:49 am
status for its often grotesque description as throwaway beef and lamb offal, spices and oats. it's all bundled into a sheep's belly and boiled for hours. it's salty, it's meaty and delicious, and it's personally one of my favourite things to eat. in my family, burns night often coincides with chinese new year, which takes place over 15 days at the beginning of the lunar calendar. like burns night, it's all about friends and family coming together for a massive feast. so my friends and i, we host our own special event and we call it chinese burns, where we serve dishes from both cultures at the same time. i'm on the hunt for a culinary twist on the burns supper that will be the centrepiece of my next chinese burns evening. hello. how are you doing?
6:50 am
hello. lovely to meet you, jimmy. how are you? so it's chinese new year and it's burns night happening around the same time. what am i going to make for my party? nick, you'll be making a haggis with eddo, spring rolls with a chilli whisky dip. so, first of all, we've got some eddo, which is a chinese root veg. right. similar to potatoes, but a wee bit more nuttier and a wee bit more sweet. a bit more... a bit hairier. a bit hairier as well! obviously, the hero of the dish is the haggis. yes. i'm just going to put some carrots in it to add a wee bit of crunch. right. okey dokey. so what are you cooking up first? well, it's the slow process ofjust peeling the eddoes first. do you often try to incorporate scottish traditional ingredients in your chinese cooking? yeah, yeah. all the time. whether it's the ingredients we use, like the ayrshire pork or aberdeen angus steak. with the eddoes peeled, jimmy pops them into a steamer.
6:51 am
he then slices the haggis and throws it into a wok. wok fried haggis. wok fried haggis! there's a first for everything. that sounds brilliant. oh, look at that! and then we're just going to mash that up. look at that, there's your asian tatties. now we've got all our ingredients that we canjust use and wrap up. tight against it so you can feel the haggis there. mine looks like an envelope as opposed to a roll. i don't know what's gone wrong there. it looks like a purse. yeah. i leave it to jimmy to fry the rolls and rustle up his chilli whisky dip. bagpipes play but we're - still missing one key ingredient. a piper�*s the perfect accompaniment to any burns supper, however unconventional it might be. oh, wow. look at that. looks amazing. let's dig in, shall we? let's go for it.
6:52 am
piper plays auld lang syne pastry crunche . �*, that's so tasty. i can actually taste the haggis, which is surprising. i thought it'd get lost in there, but it's actually really nice. slainte mhath. giving burns night a whole new twist earlier this year. well, if you've fallen in love with scotland so much that you fancy moving there, how about snapping up a castle? you'll find over 2,000 of them there. although, it has to be said, some of them need a whole lot more attention than just a lick of paint and a set of new curtains, as william lee adams found out when we sent him on a property hunt. we'll leave you with him searching for a typically understated new home. and see you all again next week. this is baltersan castle, a 16th century tower home 50 miles southwest of glasgow.
6:53 am
it's safe to say it's in need of some serious restoration. james bought it in 1992 with great hopes to restore it back to its former glory. but finding the right investor has been hard. now, the stairwell, very wide for the period. it all speaks of good design and speaks of wealth. you would ascend these stairs, you wouldn't climb, you would ascend. james, what was your vision when you purchased the castle? oh, i could see it. that's the problem. it's a burden if you have vision. because i could see the walls, the painted decoration, the tapestries. it's the old story of a boyhood dream. some people want train sets, i wanted a castle at the age of five. so this brings us into the kitchen area, the wine cellar, the storage for meat.
6:54 am
and this wonderful arch here is a very common feature. and that fire that would have been in there for the cooking was kept on all the time because stone is like a storage heater. there's a 16th century mill. there's an 18th century croft house down here. there's the 16th century tower and a 13th century abbey. they should be linked as a linear tourist destination. i can tell this place brings you a lot ofjoy. you light up when you talk about it. but on some level, do you ever regret having purchased it? never. no, absolutely never. it's magic. it's the sense of place thatjust an ordinary, ruined building doesn't have. there's a spirit in this place. i don't care if i don't restore it, but it should be restored by somebody — the next custodian, not owner. on face value, owning a castle could cost less than a studio apartment in london. cameron's been in the business of selling grand country homes for the past 15 years.
6:55 am
well, if you take the example of the one behind me here, i there's obviously. a lot of work to do. this is a property on the buildings at risk register, it'5 _ category a listed. so there will be restrictions i in what you can and can't do, materials that you've got to use. so there are limitations - and considerations that also have significant cost implications. do people have any misconceptions when they start their search for a castle? yes. yeah. the first thing to highlight - is they don't all come with a title. many people assume that - you become lord of the manor, but i'm afraid it's. not quite that case. but what happens if your family already has the castle? how do you keep it from becoming a financial drain? nice to meet you. so nice to meet you. so lovely to meet you. welcome. nice to meet you. this is quite the welcome. hello! ali's family has lived on these grounds since the 1500s, though his great—grandfather built this place at the turn of the 20th
6:56 am
century, moving the family out of the now ruined castle. the couple met in vietnam and lived in the us before moving back to ali's ancestral home eight years ago. and what was the state of the place when you first saw it? it was winter when i first arrived and saw the place for the very first time. the blinds were drawn. there were so many dust sheets on tables and furniture. everything was really dark. had a bit of a morgue feel to it, to be honest. so this room is particularly personal to me because it is very much based on my idea of victoriana meets east asian. the estate had mostly welcomed hunting parties and wanted to move away from that tradition and focus on other types of gatherings, like weddings. though it needed a major revamp.
6:57 am
a lot of people dream of owning a castle and they don't think through the reality. do you have any advice for potential buyers? if you are thinking about doing anything like this and your first motivation is profitability, it is not going to work. i love my husband and this is me helping to fulfil his dream. and ali, it was significantly easier for him to be motivated to do this project because it is his ancestral home. dinner soon comes around, but before we sit down anne says she has a little surprise. door creaks what? what is this? this is for you to pick out your outfit for dinner. ok, this was obviously for me. the fairies in southwest scotland are working tonight. i think you should definitely wear this. oh, my god, that is so you!
6:58 am
gong rings part of the experience involves an outrageous dinner party with the guests. dinner is served. what would your ancestors think about what's going on tonight? i think they liked fun nights, will. you know, my great—grandfather built this house for entertaining. but i'm curious, when anne married you and moved here and suggested these changes, how did that sit with you? actually, it was fine, and i wouldn't have done it without her. so it was good to have that breath of fresh air. owning and running a castle as a tourist attraction is not for the faint hearted. but if you can make it work, it's not a bad life. music continues

good morning, welcome to breakfast. our headlines— setting sail for gaza. the us military ship sets off with equipment to build a temporary peer to help aid into the territory. a55 year wait for answers — a man jailed for killing muriel mckay says he willing to show her family where her body is buried. if england's day at twickenham in the six nations with marcus smith prominently dropped goal denies islander shot at the second consecutive grand slam. and hollywood rolls out the red carpet as it gets ready to host the oscars tonight. good morning. on this mother's day, it's not looking particularly springlike. there's lots of cloud and outbreaks of rain. i'll have more details
7:01 am
throughout the programme. it's sunday the 10th of march. us military ship is on its way to the middle east, carrying the first equipment to a temporary pier of the coast of gaza. it is hoped this will help more aid into the territory. meanwhile, ship holding 200 tons of food is making final preparations to set sail from cyprus. food is making final preparations to set sailfrom cyprus. so food is making final preparations to set sail from cyprus. so we conway reports. —— zoe. loaded up with the equipment needed to build a temporary dock in gaza, a us army logistics ship. it's already on its way. the united states hopes to get a lot more aid in by sea, but it could take several weeks. in the meantime, in cyprus, efforts are under way by a charity to move supplies across the mediterranean. it may not look like much but on this barge sits 200
7:02 am
tons of food. it'll be towed by a spanish charity ship the more than 200 miles to gaza. this sea route has not been tried before. thejourney could be precarious. translation: we will tow this platform to gaza, - where the last mile will be the most complicated operation. the disembarkation will be done on a pier that is being built right now by the world central kitchen. gaza has no functioning port. american charity world central kitchen says it will be able to unload the supplies, but it's not clear how. nor is it clear how it will avoid scenes like this — the desperate scramble for aid. alni was lucky — he got a sack of flour. diab was left scooping it out of the dirt. children are dying from malnutrition, says gaza's hamas—run health ministry. the united nations is warning of widespread famine.
7:03 am
getting food in by road is the best way to meet that hunger, the aid agencies say. but not enough trucks can get through because hamas and israel can't agree on a ceasefire. a search for survivors at a refugee camp in central gaza hit by an air strike on saturday. in an interview with msnbc, president biden has said israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu must pay more attention to the lives being lost, and said his approach to war was hurting more than helping israel. zoe conway, bbc news. let's speak with our middle east correspondent anna foster who joins us from jerusalem. good morning. zoe there outlined the logistical challenges for this humanitarian operation. challenges for this humanitarian o eration. ,., ., ., challenges for this humanitarian oeration. ., ., �*, operation. good morning. that's ri . ht, operation. good morning. that's right. there's — operation. good morning. that's
7:04 am
right, there's some _ operation. good morning. that's right, there's some real - operation. good morning. that's. right, there's some real problems attached to this, the us ship is on its way but very simply put, it has a long way to go. the journey from the us to where we are here in the middle east will take the us, say, at least two months and when they do get here we know us soldiers will help to build the pier but we know they won't actually go ashore to gaza and helped distributed the aid and they could potentially be a huge problem. you know in the last few days they have been report of five people being killed by one of the airdrops ofaid, people being killed by one of the airdrops of aid, when a parachute didn't open. we've also seen the convoy being swamped by desperate people. the fact is, very simply, but enough aid is getting into gaza and we've heard the international community and foreign secretary lord cameron say in the last few days there are two really key ways to try to deal with that. one is to agree an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. hamas and israel, through egypt and qatar, have been discussing this because of course hamas and israel don't have direct diplomatic
7:05 am
relations but as talks that have been going on in cairo have really slowed this week. they were hoping to come up with some sort of deal before ramadan, which starts in the next day or so, but it hasn't happened. and as lord cameron was saying, ringing things and by road still remains the best possible way. even though gaza does not have a port, israel does, very close, the port, israel does, very close, the port of ashdod, and if israel were to allow more aid to come in via road,it to allow more aid to come in via road, it would be a far better way to help those people, more than a million, remember, displaced only in rafah on the south of the strip, an estimated 300,000 or so in the north of gaza waiting for this aid, so even though things are happening and the ship is due to set sail from cyprus, it is really a drop in the ocean in many ways when it comes to the huge and desperate need of civilians in gaza at the moment. indeed, a long way to go in more ways than one. anna foster with the update from jerusalem. now, the

days�*s other stories. a manjailed for the killing of muriel mckay has told the bbc he is willing to come back to england and show her family where her body is buried. the 55—year—old was abducted from her home in 1969 and held to ransom after being mistaken for the wife of the media mogul rupert murdoch. louise parry has more. the search for a body on a farm in hertfordshire has taken officers from the metropolitan police to the caribbean island of trinidad & tobago. this is the home of nizamodeen hosein, one of two brothers convicted of kidnapping and murdering muriel mckay in 1969. she was the wife of alick mckay, rupert murdoch's newspaper deputy, and was taken from their home in wimbledon after being mistaken from his wife at the time, anna murdoch. arthur hosein died injail while nizamodeen was deported back to trinidad after serving 20 years in prison. muriel�*s body was neverfound, despite extensive police searches around stocking farm at the time, and another search two years ago. injanuary, muriel�*s daughter dianne and grandson mark flew to trinidad to meet hosein, who confessed
7:07 am
to them where she was buried. they told breakfast what it was like coming face—to—face with the man who killed their mother and grandmother. he threw himself at me — i wasn't going to give him a hug — he threw himself at me and i thought about it afterwards, i think he had this feeling that i'd come to thank him for telling me where her body was. last week, detectives visited trinidad and spent several days interviewing hosein. nizamodeen hosein told the bbc that if the police want him to travel to the uk to point out the exact burial spot, he is willing to do so. the mckay's lawyer hope this is a breakthrough moment. i think he was there when the body was buried and i think he very much knows where it is. you know, i guess with time and age and so on, how precisely he can
7:08 am
identify where that body is now, i think he'll need some help but i think he can assist the family at finding that body, yes. but their hopes may be dashed as towards the end of the visit, the mckay family said police told them hosein was unable to provide location with any consistency. the met police say they understand how frustrating and difficult this is for muriel�*s family, and they are still working to recover her remains. louise parry, bbc news. princess diana's brother earl spencer has revealed he was sexually abused as a child while attending boarding school. in an extract from his memoir, he alleges he was targeted by a female member of staff it madew alhur in northamptonshire. this is the abuse happened in the 1970s, when he was 11. the school says allegations have been referred to the local authority. voters in the republic of ireland have overwhelmingly voted against amending the irish constitution in two historic referenda. defeated

7:11 am
against killers of the flower moon, by martin scorsese, who's now the most nominated movie director alive. flows freely here now. the oscars is the most extravagant night of award season, so there's lots of preparation work going on here right now to make sure everything is perfect for the night. as for this famous red carpet, well, most of it, it's all covered in plastic right now to make sure not too many people get their grubby feet on it before the celebs arrive. hey, barbie. but unlike in barbie world, perhaps girls don't get to have all the fun at the oscars as margot robbie missed out on an acting nomination and greta gerwig was passed over for best director, but earned one for the screenplay. hi, barbie! instead, it's barbie's ken who's up for best supporting actor at this prestigious night. screams i'm told its easier to get into the white house than it is to get accredited into this. so, they haven't kicked me out yet. i'm doing all right. the frankenstein—esque movie poor things is expected to do well with eight nominations for this quirky tale, including one for the team behind
7:12 am
the film's production and costume design. ooh! people all across the board, sort of family, and people who aren't creative love it, people going back, seeing it twice. the feedback has been really exciting out of the industry. i need you to be precise. anatomy of a fall has sandra huller up for best actress. it's a murder mystery leaving you guessing and even she isn't giving anything away. we alljust wish the audience to discuss the matter, like, for days and weeks and months. we don't want to have a certain feeling in them. there's always talk about records to be broken and this year, with oppenheimer�*s 13 nominations, if it wins 12 of them, it would break the record for the most oscar wins by a single picture. but that's quite a big ask! as the best of film—making is celebrated, the one thing you can predict is there'll be a few surprises! emma vardy, bbc news, hollywood.

7:15 am
where you are across england and wales and perhaps into the afternoon some heavier bursts through the pennines into western parts of england but in the southwest of england, southwest wales, here we will see the brighter skies developing later on but still the threat of sun showers. but for some showers. rain still around parts of east anglia and the midlands common into northern parts of england with heavy rain at times over the pennines stop may be a little drier in north—east england later on. driest perhaps whether towards north—west scotland were some skies in the far north—west but quite chilly in eastern scotland. five or six celsius elsewhere a chilly day compared to yesterday. through tonight we continue with spells of rain and it will gradually ease off as it moves further westward. some showers brushing the south—east coast otherwise lots of cloud into monday morning and frost free with temperatures remaining around 4— seven celsius. during monday we have
7:16 am
an easterly wind that will continue to bring a lot of cloud across the uk. some spots of rain around eastern areas as well and perhaps given that rain on the far south—east of england, also in western ireland and scotland. principles developing that in generally fairly cloudy with maximum temperatures about 7— 11 degrees. maybe a bit below the average for the time of year. for the rest of the time of year. for the rest of the week, well, largely dry on tuesday but then we will have an area of low pressure moving in on wednesday and thursday bringing rain and the wind switches from an easterly to a south—westerly and that will bring mild air away from the mid—atlantic meaning the temperatures will rise as the week goes on. you get a bit of sunshine later in the week and will feel like spring so temperatures 15— 16 celsius in the driest of the weather over southern and eastern areas. further north and west it is
7:17 am
unsettled throughout the week with rain never too far away. breezy at times but even here temperatures of 12- 15 times but even here temperatures of 12— 15 celsius so the temperature will climb to above average as the week goes on. we will take that. temperatures going up to 13 and i was looking up the messages in the bottle. it is sweet. they were doing a primary project at school and three girls wrote in the messages that they pretended they had been held captive by their teacher and it was an sos. and they are still friends. one had moved to ireland but the three girls are still friends 40 years later. that is so sweet. 17 minutes past seven. we have spoken a lot on breakfast about the challenges facing an h is dental care in england with warnings the services in its most perilous position in its 75 year history. as an increasing number of nhs dentists are unable to offer services to new patients, the struggle to find affordable dental

not additional money, it actually comes from the existing budget and offering people a golden hello has been part of the nhs for a considerable period of time and what we have seen is dentists moving from one area to another to take up the golden hello but we have not seen an increase in the number of dentists delivering nhs care. we were working to get a petition signed, we have about 200,000 names on that petition to try and save nhs dentistry. and i encourage everyone of your listeners who is worried about the future of nhs dentistry like i am to actually go and sign the petition. it nhs dentistry like i am to actually go and sign the petition.— go and sign the petition. it seems like a false _ go and sign the petition. it seems like a false economy _ go and sign the petition. it seems like a false economy when - go and sign the petition. it seems like a false economy when it - go and sign the petition. it seems i like a false economy when it comes to spending public cash when you consider that between april 22 and may 2023, 30,000 children in 70,000 adults in england were admitted to amd with tooth decay. that is shocking, especially for children.
7:24 am
we have to change the whole system around from a treatment system to a prevention system. we can do so much to actually prevent the nhs spending money further down the track by having more dentists on high streets and providing more per inventive care. current contracts do not allow dentists to be remunerated for that. we are things you could do, look at the sugar content in food, we could do so much more to prevent dental disease and save the nhs money. patients are turning up in areas of their natures were costs far more than turning up at amd and gps. when they are presenting to nhs they need surgery like children going into hospitalfor surgery like children going into hospital for tooth removal. surgery like children going into hospitalfor tooth removal. we need to do more. hospital for tooth removal. we need to do more-— hospital for tooth removal. we need todomore. ., _ ,, ., to do more. they obviously desperate and they feel — to do more. they obviously desperate and they feel they _ to do more. they obviously desperate and they feel they should _ to do more. they obviously desperate and they feel they should go - to do more. they obviously desperate and they feel they should go to - to do more. they obviously desperate and they feel they should go to ana i and they feel they should go to ana but let's give some practical advice. if you have a dental problem you cannot get an nhs dentist, what should they be doing? the

7:38 am
as dreams go, this must�*ve been hard to beat for oliver bearman and his dad, david. ferrari promoted their 18—year—old reserve driver from chelmsford after appendicitis ruled out carlos sainz. being thrown in at the deep end at one of the sport's toughest circuits, he started cautiously from 11th. despite being the new boy, he avoided the dangers that caught lance stroll out. during the safety car, ferrari brought bearman in for tyres to last him to the finish. that dropped him a place but, with every minute, his confidence grew and, 11 laps later, he'd overtaken three drivers, including the experienced nico hulkenberg. when fellow britons lando norris and lewis hamilton had to stop for tyres, bearman moved to seventh and stayed there. i really enjoyed it. it was so much fun out there. the first driver to congratulate him was seven—time world champion hamilton, and that was just the start of the plaudits. seventh in your first race in formula 1, having done only fp3 in a new car, it's just hugely impressive, so i'm sure he's extremely proud. but everybody has noticed

7:40 am
i'm trying to find some weather watchers photos that are nice and springlike for mother's day but i am struggling. this is one i've found, it isn't too bad. there is some sunshine this morning in highland scotland. for many of us, it's pretty cloudy out there with some outbreaks of rain. that's another scene in hereford at the moment. the cloud breaking up a little bit but likely to stay pretty cloudy for much of the day. having a look at whether rainfall falling right now, you can see quite extensive rainfall, really, across england, wales, pushing into northern ireland, southern scotland as well. a few breaks in the rain across some southern areas and the northwest of scotland is, as you saw, a bit of sunshine this morning. through today, we will have some sunny spells on the northwest of scotland but also a bit of sunshine developing in southwest wales and south west england after some heavy showers this morning. one or two of these showers still dotted around
7:41 am
across the southern and south—western areas but as i said, at least the cloud will break touch. with wealth, the midlands but was eastern england, cloudy with patchy rain and heavy at times the pennines. perhaps north east england drying out a little bit this afternoon. some into northern ireland into central and southern scotland, northwest scotland faring best with some sunny spells. temperatures generally about 7—10 or 11 degrees but in the northeast of scotland, only five or six. through tonight, we will continue with his reign which will turn a bit patchier as it moves further northwards. —— rain. we will keep some rain in the northwest but frost—free with all the cloud about, temperatures 4—7 . during monday, we need to keep an eye on the area of rain in the southeast but it should generally stay away out into the english channel. for many, cloudy on monday. there will be some spots of rain
7:42 am
from drizzle towards eastern areas of the uk, more persistent in the west of scotland. again, pretty cloudy for many with one or two breaks in the cloud trying to develop with maximums about 7—11. it's around about the average, maybe a little below for the time of year. as we go through the week, we will switch the easterly winds to southerly winds. with it, areas of low pressure coming from the atlantic which will bring in breezy weather towards north—western areas, some rain at times here as well but you can see from the airmass picture that we have these orange patches, coming from the southwest so conditions, temperatures rising above average for the rest of the week. here is a snapshot for southern and eastern areas. the driest of the weather, temperatures 15 perhaps 16, and it will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. further north and west, likely to stay quite cloudy. rain at times. even here, temperatures about 9—12.

7:45 am
channel but at this point we say goodbye to our viewers on bbc one. bye for now.
7:46 am
hello. this is breakfast. we will be here until 9 o'clock with all of the latest news and weather. but for now it is time for this week's episode of click. welcome to mobile world congress — or mwc. with 1.4 billion phones sold a year — that's 28 phones a second — it's no wonder industry events like these in barcelona take place,
7:47 am
and i'm excited to see what's happening. from the honor magic v2, with its ground—breaking slimness — less than one centimetre when folded... it's so thin and so lightweight, this one. ..to motorola's latest design that rolls round your wrist, and lenovo's laptop with a transparent display — all the biggest names are here, fighting for my attention. one of the major talking points of the tech world has been the samsung galaxy ring, and this is the first time it has been officially revealed. i think the most important thing is to say, what value are we presenting to our users? and i would say it's in three areas. one is obviously the things you would expect, like steps and activity, heart rate. and then there's the area of sleep,
7:48 am
particularly around sleep stages, movement during sleep, heart rate variability during sleep. and then lastly, women's health — using skin—temperature sensors to detect trends of change, to essentially predict the window of fertility for women. so what does the medical field think about this? do you think that there will be genuine diagnostic developments as a result of monitoring this type of data? so i think it's an evolution. i think there is generally a blurring of the lines of what was once a consumer device versus a medical device. and those things are becoming a little blurry now. there's a real buzz around humane al's pin — and this is the first time it's been shown in europe. i'm looking forward to trying this. here's the ai pin — there's two components. that one goes behind one layer of clothing, and this one just goes on top, so you can just attach like that — and that's it. once you clip the ai pin to your clothes with a magnet, you can talk to it.
7:49 am
what are the three top sights to see while i'm in barcelona? and it'll answer questions by voice, like your own personal assistant. pin: the three best sights - in barcelona are la sagrada familia, parc guell, and la i pedrera—casa mila. and there's a two—finger gesture that i do, as well. what are some great seafood restaurants around here? quins son els millors de marisc per aqui? i and what was the difference, then, between the one and the two? so one is just any kind of question that you might have about anything. and then two, really, is about translation. so itjust locks in translation, and you can have it translate in up to 50 languages. wow, ok. if you don't want to hear it, then just look at the answer, which will be projected using a laser onto the palm of your hand. and to use the controls, gesture with your fingers. you had a little demo with your husband in there.
7:50 am
there was a few things i wanted to ask you. yeah, absolutely. because it takes photos and videos as well. can you tell me how you can do that? yeah, so one big part of it is about allowing you to capture memories. and those memories can come in the form of things you tell it to remember. so treating it like a second brain, but also capturing moments that you normally would take your phone out of your pocket and be living your life through a display. instead, you can use the device to do it for you. so all you have to do is do two fingers — quick double tap to take a picture. just like that. perfect, and you can see it's got the camera on the top there. yes, and so, whenever the cameras are on or active, or the microphone is active, the led — called our trust light — is on at the top. of course, it's artificial intelligence that's powering humane's ai pin. how old is spencer kelly from the bbc?
7:51 am
spencer kelly from the bbc is currently 50 years old. i 50 years old — to be fair, he does look good for his age. and a! is a strong theme for the next generation of smartphones, too. just circle what you're looking for, and you get your answer. anything in your instagram feed or a photograph that someone sends you, you canjust circle it and immediately initiate a search result. so that's using both, obviously, visual search and ai. but what happens to all this new technology after it's no longer fresh out the box? well, sadly, overfive billion mobiles were thrown away last year. many people keep their old tech, rather than recycling it. and, with the growth of ai putting even more stress on networks, the need for environmental responsibility is even greater. a broken phone will come in and get repaired, and go back out to another customer. and a really smashed phone will still come back in and be
7:52 am
harvested for parts that can then be used to repair other phones. we're going to continue to innovate, and that's a fantastic thing — and we see that here today. but if we are continuing tojust consume, consume, consume, consume, without driving the re—use, and ultimately the recycling at the end of the technology's useful life, then we are just digging more and more minerals out of the ground. so, if we really want to save the planet, it looks like it'll have to be an effort from both the phone companies and ourselves. spaghetti western music. i'm about to do something very cool with my eyes.
7:53 am
engine starts. yeah, i'vejust turned on a car by looking at an icon on a phone. if the sensor at the top detects that your eyes have fixed on a particular part of the screen for 1.8 seconds, it treats it like a click. this phone, the honor magic 6 pro, has been using this gaze control to allow users in china to look at incoming notifications and open the messages. this expanded proof—of—concept demo gives me a wider choice of actions — basically, controlling a car! i mean, it's all very knight rider, isn't it, really? just to be clear here, this is not a demo of eye—controlled driving — but it is a signal that your devices might soon know
7:54 am
what you want to do without you even touching them. we're at a period in time where the interaction with devices is arguably at the cusp of changing. this could be transformational in the way in which we engage with devices in future. there's been a bit of a buzz around eye control recently, mainly thanks to the apple vision pro headset. you don't use controllers with it, you just make a gesture with your fingers while looking at the thing you want to select. and it's got people wondering whether looking is the new pointing. so it could be that you look at a landmark, and then, you get some information in your line of sight as to what that could be. it could be that you look at an appliance, and perhaps that could have something happening as a result of your gaze. so it's almost limited by your imagination — and i think what a lot
7:55 am
of the companies working on this are hoping is that they will create the toolset for people to be able to do this, and then, very bright application developers will go off and innovate in all sorts of directions. is it hard to do this? doing this on a smartphone is arguably much harder than doing it on something like apple's vision pro. you have a ski mask on your face, six cameras pointing at your iris, and it can very, very accurately pinpoint what you're looking at. on a smartphone, you're having to use a sensor on the front of the device in an open environment, and actually assess what someone's looking at, and then, invoke some kind of action as a result of that. that's a complex task. one thing i've noticed while using this is my eyes don't stick on one exact part of the screen for any particular length of time — they kind of dart about a bit. so the challenge for any designer of an eye—control system is they really have to know what bit you do want to activate and not accidentally delete your emails, just cos your eye goes a bit funny. but being able to work out
7:56 am
where your eyes are pointing is just one consequence of something that's only happened in the last year — the arrival of real alon your phone. now, i'm not talking about the a! that you've probably been using recently, like those conversations you've been having with that large language model, or those weird pictures you've been creating. see, that's not your phone doing the work — it's only been showing you the results from huge a! data centres in the cloud. but now, there's a new type of processor which is being put into phones and which is bringing true a! onto your device. it's called an npu, a neural processing unit — and it's tailor—made to handle the complex calculations performed by neural networks. this is going to make all sorts of things possible, because the phone can be using that intelligence all the time to almost be predictive where you'll look
7:57 am
at the phone and you'll interact with the phone, and it will almost know what you want to do before you even want to do it. and this is also making other capabilities like real—time translation possible. it's making the processing of images to fill in gaps in an image if you rotate it, for example, possible on device very, very quickly. one additional benefit for consumers, however, is the fact that, if all of that computation is done on the device, there are some good privacy benefits — because it means your data isn't leaving the device and going up into the cloud where you relinquish control of it. so, i think we can expect to see more phones doing more intelligent things in the months to come, as manufacturers experiment with new a! capabilities on their devices. interfaces are changing, ai is evolving. but most importantly right now, i need to park the car. and that's it for the short cut of this week's click.
7:58 am

8:01 am
there's lots of cloud and outbreaks of rain. i'll have more details throughout the programme. it is sunday the 10th of march. our main story. a us military ship is on its way to the middle east carrying equipment to build a temporary peer of the cost of gas. it's up this will help more aid enter the territory. the shipbuilding 200 tonnes of food is making final preparations to sail from cyprus as our correspondent reports. loaded up with the equipment needed to build a temporary dock in gaza, a us army logistics ship. it's already on its way. the united states hopes to get a lot more aid in by sea, but it could take several weeks. in the meantime, in cyprus, efforts are under way by a charity to move supplies across the mediterranean. it may not look like much but on this barge sits 200 tons of food. it'll be towed by a spanish charity ship the more than 200 miles to gaza. this sea route has not been tried before.
8:02 am
thejourney could be precarious. translation: we will tow this platform to gaza, - where the last mile will be the most complicated operation. the disembarkation will be done on a pier that is being built right now by the world central kitchen. gaza has no functioning port. american charity world central kitchen says it will be able to unload the supplies, but it's not clear how. clamour. nor is it clear how it will avoid scenes like this — the desperate scramble for aid. alni was lucky — he got a sack of flour. diab was left scooping it out of the dirt. children are dying from malnutrition, says gaza's hamas—run health ministry. the united nations is warning of widespread famine. getting food in by road is the best
8:03 am
way to meet that hunger, the aid agencies say. but not enough trucks can get through because hamas and israel can't agree on a ceasefire. a search for survivors at a refugee camp in central gaza hit by an air strike on saturday. in an interview with msnbc, president biden has said israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu must pay more attention to the lives being lost, and said his approach to war was hurting more than helping israel. zoe conway, bbc news. let's speak with our middle east correspondent anna foster who has the latest. huge challenges ahead if the latest. huge challenges ahead if the aid is to get to the people who need it? ,., ., ., ~ ,,., , need it? good morning. absolutely. there are different _ need it? good morning. absolutely. there are different things _ need it? good morning. absolutely. there are different things to - need it? good morning. absolutely. there are different things to take i there are different things to take into consideration. one is how to
8:04 am
get that aid of the ship when it arrives and into gaza. that is why the us is sending the materials and manpower needed to build this peer but the problem is it's manpower needed to build this peer but the problem is its estimated that around two months away still from being operational. in the meantime, ships that come from cyprus on this newly established maritime eight corridor will need to make alternative arrangements, the world central kitchen, the charity sending this first load across say they are doing all they can in gaza to build a sort of temporary reception peer in the meantime but of course even think you have that eight of the ship and on land, there are further issues as well. in terms of sharing it out among desperate people who need it, you saw in the report some of the dangerous and desperate scramble is we have seen around convoys, there was a report a couple of days ago five people were killed by a falling palette of aid
8:05 am
from the otherjobs because people are desperate they will do everything they can to get the aid when it arrives and it needs to be distributed across the gaza strip. in the north of gaza it's been enormously difficult to take supplies by road, around 300,000 people it is believed are still living there, in the south more than a million have been displaced, right there on the southern tip of the gaza strip next to egypt, living in tents if they are lucky, they do not have proper homes or food tents if they are lucky, they do not have proper homes orfood or medical supplies so while all of this are starting to come in by the sea there are two key points. one is that the best and easiest way to get a day and is by road and pressure continues for that to happen and for israel to open up further crossings, or perhaps to let more a truck through. what we know world leaders are pushing for is a humanitarian ceasefire and we have heard at being said time and again, even though
8:06 am
talks are going ahead, israel and hamas are still not in a position they are able to agree on a deal which would for a time at least bring the fighting to an end and see hostages released on palestinian prisoners released in exchange and enable a larger amount of aid to get to the people who desperately need it. ., ~ to the people who desperately need it. . ~ , ., to the people who desperately need it. . ~ i. ., to the people who desperately need it. thank you for that latest u date. it. thank you for that latest update- and _ it. thank you for that latest update. and now _ it. thank you for that latest update. and now a - it. thank you for that latest i update. and now a round-up it. thank you for that latest - update. and now a round-up of the update. and now a round—up of the other stories today. update. and now a round-up of the other stories today.— other stories today. thank you. a man jailed _ other stories today. thank you. a man jailed for— other stories today. thank you. a man jailed for the _ other stories today. thank you. a man jailed for the killing - other stories today. thank you. a man jailed for the killing of- other stories today. thank you. a i man jailed for the killing of mackay has told the bbc he is willing to come to england on where the body is buried. the 55—year—old was abducted from her home in 1969 and held to ransom after being mistaken for the wife of the media mogul rupert murdoch. other reporter has more. the search for a body on a farm in hertfordshire has taken officers from the metropolitan police to the caribbean island of trinidad & tobago. this is the home of nizamodeen
8:07 am
hosein, one of two brothers convicted of kidnapping and murdering muriel mckay in 1969. she was the wife of alick mckay, rupert murdoch's newspaper deputy, and was taken from their home in wimbledon after being mistaken from his wife at the time, anna murdoch. arthur hosein died injail while nizamodeen was deported back to trinidad after serving 20 years in prison. muriel�*s body was neverfound, despite extensive police searches around stocking farm at the time, and another search two years ago. injanuary, muriel�*s daughter dianne and grandson mark flew to trinidad to meet hosein, who confessed to them where she was buried. they told breakfast what it was like coming face—to—face with the man who killed their mother and grandmother. he threw himself at me — i wasn't going to give him a hug — he threw himself at me and i thought about it afterwards, i think he had this feeling that i'd come to thank him for telling me where her body was. last week, detectives visited trinidad and spent several days interviewing hosein. nizamodeen hosein told the bbc that if the police want him to travel to the uk to point out the exact burial spot,
8:08 am
he is willing to do so. the mckay's lawyer hope this is a breakthrough moment. i think he was there when the body was buried and i think he very much knows where it is. you know, i guess with time and age and so on, how precisely he can identify where that body is now, i think he'll need some help but i think he can assist the family at finding that body, yes. but their hopes may be dashed as towards the end of the visit, the mckay family said police told them hosein was unable to provide a location with any consistency. the met police say they understand how frustrating and difficult this is for muriel�*s family, and they are still working to recover her remains. louise parry, bbc news. photos in the republic of ireland

8:10 am
negotiations donald campbell is world blue but has returned to the lake district. a team of enthusiasts spent 17 years painstakingly restoring the craft which crashed on coniston water in 1967. adam powell takes up the story. a fond farewell from the team the painstakingly rebuilt bluebird. see ya, old bitch! north shields was where the wreckage of donald campbell's famous speedboat was brought after it was recovered from the depths of coniston water. but after a legal battle, k7 was handed over to coniston's ruskin museum and its journey to its forever home began. the bluebird wing of the ruskin museum has been open since 2010 and it's been a bit like a ring without a diamond. north east engineer bill smith found, then recovered bluebird in 2001. he and his loyal band of volunteers have spent a big chunk of their lives rebuilding the jet—powered speedboat. i've always described this as a diving job that got
8:11 am
out of hand. that's my short version! so, yeah, i did geta bit involved in the end, yeah. everyone's very proud of their work and everyone wants to clap their work off the premises and be very positive because this space you're standing in now, which is empty, will be full next week with something else. this is the end of an era and the start of a new one. for the last 20 years, bluebird has been rebuilt here in north shields. now, it's been transported over cumbria to the lake district and coniston. donald campbell died injanuary1967 attempting to break his own water speed record, pushing the boat beyond 300 mph. at a more sedate pace, it was a journey of around 120 miles on the back of a flatbed truck. in 2018, the rebuilt bluebird ran again on loch fad on the isle of bute.
8:12 am
bluebird'sjet engine has been removed, yet the ruskin museum say they hope to one day run bluebird again on coniston. i said to brian, my partner, "i will never live long enough to see this day" and if it hadn't been for the museum and their tenacity and doggedness to see this through, i don't think i would've lived long enough to see this day. bagpipes skirl. cheering and applause. they came out in force to celebrate bluebird's return to coniston. the expectation about what happens next to this iconic speedboat is building. adam powell, bbc news. and you can see the affection for it. it is 12 minutes past eight. kim chance has _ it. it is 12 minutes past eight. kim chance has posted _ it. it i512 minutes past eight. if; “n chance has posted a picture or next known as twitter paying tribute to his mother the late queen elizabeth. look at this. beautiful and intimate moment, released as a tribute on

8:14 am
it is not to be. good morning. happy mother's day. some lovely teams in lancashire we have got some blossoms here starting come out in hertfordshire but again you may be able to see the drops of rain falling from those. it is a very 50997 falling from those. it is a very soggy start for many of us this morning. here's the latest red bull image. you see the rain spreading north, into southern scotland and northern ireland, drawn towards the north—west of scotland, but at this morning and some breaks in the rain across central and southern areas and it's here that you may start to see some breaks in the cloud to give us some better spots and sunshine this afternoon but elsewhere the rate continues. let's look at things at 3pm. you may be thinking of getting outside for a walk but some sunny spells on the odd scattered shower, but for north wales and the
8:15 am
midlands and eastern england it remains cloudy and wet. to the east of the pennines turns drier this afternoon and cloudy, patchy rain for northern ireland and north—west scotland there will be sunny spells. temperatures for many of us lower than yesterday because of the thick cloud and the rain so about 7—11 but five or 6 degrees in the north—east of scotland. into tonight, the band of rain fades away, perhaps lingering in the far south—east of england, rain coming into western scotland but with lots of cloud into monday it will be frost free, around 4—7 . we have this easterly wind bringing lots of cloud across the uk, need to keep a close eye on the rain in the south east which could clip norfolk, suffolk, essex and kent, more rain in western scotland. elsewhere there could be breaks in the cloud

8:47 am
he avoided the dangers that caught lance stroll out. during the safety car, ferrari brought bearman in for tyres to last him to the finish. that dropped him a place but, with every minute, his confidence grew and, 11 laps later, he'd overtaken three drivers, including the experienced nico hulkenberg. when fellow britons lando norris and lewis hamilton had to stop for tyres, bearman moved to seventh and stayed there. i really enjoyed it. it was so much fun out there. the first driver to congratulate him was seven—time world champion hamilton, and that was just the start of the plaudits. seventh in your first race in formula 1, having done only fp3 in a new car, it's just hugely impressive, so i'm sure he's extremely proud but everybody has noticed how talented he is and, i guess, it'sjust a matter of time before he comes here in formula 1. the youngest man to race for ferrari seems to have a great future ahead of him. nick parrott, bbc news.

8:49 am
at her home salon in somerset. but in her spare time she is a champion runner and steeplechaser. i had health problems later on in my 30s and i decided i needed to get on with it and see what i could do. so steeplechasing is an athletics event on a 400 metre track held outdoors and the distances are 2000 metres or 3000 metres, usually. you have four fixed barriers and a waterjump. it's not the sort of sport you start in your 405 but i got into a good place with my running and my strength from running and i was able to give it a go. as you can see it is not for the fainthearted. i will do that again because i want a little more drive in. she has broken british records and world records. the steeplechase world record is probably the one i am most proud of because it actually took me quite a few attemptss to build up through to that time that season and it was a windy day
8:50 am
and it was unexpected. the race just went really well. to take it up in your early 405 having never done it before is incredible and in many ways she is redefining what is possible with age and doing amazing things. and recently she was shortlisted for an athletics magazine title alongside some well—known names. another person was also nominated for masters athlete and to be recognised against those top names is quite unexpected. this year i hope to qualify for senior british championships in the summer. remember the name — kirstie booth, from somerset — as she continues to take the world of steeple chasing by storm. impressive stuff, good luck with the qualifying. hollywood is rolling out
8:51 am
the red carpet, we are rolling out our glitzy screens in preparation for its biggest and glitziest night of the year, the oscars. stars will gather in los angeles to celebrate the great cinematic achievements of 2023. oppenheimer is expected to be the big winner. another year at the oscars! the biggest night in hollywood is back and the competition is as tough as ever. we're in a race against the nazis. if you thought a dense three—hour biographical might struggle with audiences, you'd have been wrong. oppenheimer, about the creator of the atomic bomb, was a huge box office. now cillian murphy is up for best actor... we'll remember this day! ..christopher nolan for best director and it's the favourite to win the oscar for best picture. but in the battle of the big—name directors, it'll be competing against killers of the flower moon, by martin scorsese, who's now the most nominated movie director alive. flows freely here now.
8:52 am
the oscars is the most extravagant night of award season, so there's lots of preparation work going on here right now to make sure everything is perfect for the night. as for this famous red carpet, well, most of it, it's all covered in plastic right now to make sure not too many people get their grubby feet on it before the celebs arrive. hey, barbie. but unlike in barbie world, perhaps girls don't get to have all the fun at the oscars, as margot robbie missed out on an acting nomination and greta gerwig was passed over for best director, but earned one for the screenplay. hi, barbie! instead, it's barbie's ken who's up for best supporting actor at this prestigious night. screams. i'm told its easier to get into the white house than it is to get accredited for this. so, they haven't kicked me out yet. i'm doing all right. the frankenstein—esque movie, poor things, is expected to do well with eight nominations for this quirky tale, including one for the team behind the film's production and costume design. ooh!
8:53 am
people all across the board, sort of family, and people who aren't creative love it, people going back, seeing it twice. the feedback has been really exciting out of the industry. i need you to be precise. anatomy of a fall has sandra huller up for best actress. it's a murder mystery that leaves you guessing, and even she isn't giving anything away. we alljust wish the audience to discuss the matter, like, for days and weeks and months. we don't want to have a certain feeling in them. there's always talk about records to be broken and this year, with oppenheimer�*s 13 nominations, if it wins 12 of them, it would break the record for the most oscar wins by a single picture. but that's quite a big ask. as the best of film—making is celebrated, the one thing you can predict is there'll be a few surprises! emma vardy, bbc news, hollywood. oscar for best correspond risk goes to emma! you mention early at the
