runs the ship shed this video of its teens working after dark, a crane carefully lifting crates into the back of a lorry. —— the moment it's definitely needed cargo is unloaded. the barge carrying 200 loads of food carries it the final metres to the jetty. gaza has no functioning ports of the jetty, jutting out from the shoreline, was built by a team from the world central kitchen. forces help to secure the area. the a delivery has been highly anticipated since the ship set off from cyprus on tuesday. but how the food will be distributed across northern gaza remains unclear, and will be a challenge. hundreds of thousands of people have very little food and the un says gaza is on the brink of famine. the new maritime route is part of an international effort to get more aid into the territory, including more air drops of aid.

while the us ship is en route with equipment to build its own floating dock of the coast to boost sea deliveries. aid organisations are the quickest, most effective way to get aid in is by road but israeli restrictions been only a fraction of what is needed is getting in. israel denies it is to blame for gaza's food shortage, leaving logistical failures by aid agencies. all the while, the australian army's much continues. distract the israeli army's. netanyahu says he has approved a strike on rougher, housing more than a million people. the un is against it. the consequences _ the un is against it. the consequences in - the un is against it. the consequences in the - the un is against it. tue: consequences in the current circumstances would be catastrophic for the people of gaza, for the palestinians. it would be catastrophic for the humanitarian situation. it would be catastrophic

country's motorways. one of the busiest and most congested. the m25 circles london and connections for main airports, including the largest, at heathrow. and for those that use it daily, it can be a bit of a nightmare. this weekend the first closure in its history is a five mile stretch from junction 10 to 11 is rebuilt and there will be a division route through surrey, although we have been told not to use it at all if possible. t although we have been told not to use it at all if possible.— use it at all if possible. i think the closure — use it at all if possible. i think the closure of _ use it at all if possible. i think the closure of the _ use it at all if possible. i think the closure of the m25, - use it at all if possible. i think the closure of the m25, if - use it at all if possible. i think. the closure of the m25, if drivers don't abide by the warnings, it has potential to be absolute chaos and absolute gridlock. it isn't looking good. it is a five mile stretch of the m25, but if that's close, the knock—on effects could be immense. they have been many collisions on this stretch of the motorway, often caused by vehicles changing lanes and the sheer volume of traffic. the works are supposed to remedy that.

i don't know if i got rita's ashes at all. it could be anybody�*s, i think. the tragedy, which was, of rita passing away, was sad, and i still think about it. but if they are rita's ashes, it is like torture for the rest of your life. the number of specialist nhs clinics that treat gambling addictions have almost doubled in the past year. the health service has just opened its 15th gambling clinic in england, meaning up to 3,000 people a year can be treated for the addiction. it follows an increased demand for support. the next first minister of wales will be announced this morning. mark drakeford said in december that he would step down after five years in thejob. the economy minister, vaughan gething, and the education ministerjeremy miles have been competing to succeed him. here's our wales correspondent, hywel griffith.

vladimir putin faces no serious challenger. his fiercest rivals are in exile or in prison. not that ally, whose son is fighting in ukraine, wants any change at the top. " of course i voted for putin, " she says "i trust him." but not everybody was voting. this one of a string of attacks on polling stations across russia. they are unprecedented. after chaotic scenes here an arsonist is detained. and green ink poured into a ballot box. the authorities called the attackers "scum". some voters were greeted with a show. well, it is one way to bang the drum for russian elections.

there is voting, too, in parts of ukraine, which are under russian occupation — what russia calls its "new territories". the ukrainian government called the election illegal. polls close on sunday night. expect a putin landslide. unpredictability is very much a feature of life now in russia. but that doesn't apply to elections. the political system here is built around one man — vladimir putin — and the kremlin tightly controls that system, including elections. so mr putin's real action is not in doubt. and neither is the message the kremlin will be sending after this. that vladimir putin has the full support of his people. eve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. sir lenny henry has fronted comic relief for the final time, nearly four decades after he co—founded the charity. last night's show raised more than £40 million towards helping

that's the next area of low pressure as it starts to come in through the day ahead it will strengthen the winds butjust as i say it is first thing and bit of frost across scotland, parts of northern england, northern england, northern ireland which means after yesterday's showers, they could be some ice around if you're up early enough to watch a for and freezing fog as well but it then means we will see an abundance of sunshine, the best of which this morning because as you can see it will lift readily across northern ireland with the rain sitting in heavily and we already have dribs and drabs of rain and drizzle in the far southwest of cornwall and it looks as if the sometime last all day across the north and the east and linger into the phased of england but temperatures will be a little down on those of yesterday because it has been a chilly start. more really on a par of what we would expect at this time of year and, of course, it is the final day of the six nations and it looks as if cardiff will see some petty drizzle coming through and some rain on and off in dublin and some rain on and off in dublin and we may escape the rain until the second half of the match potentially in paris. it does not look as if we will see rain except in dublin and

you can see the heavy operates of rain here making their way east through the night and i think they will intensify and we will see further pulses of rain pushing eastwards which is why i mentioned the 15-20 eastwards which is why i mentioned the 15—20 millimetres earlier on in the 15—20 millimetres earlier on in the forecast. that's tonight. following on from a cold, frosty start for quite a number of us this morning, much more mild through the coming night because we will still have the weather front and the cloud and wind with us first thing tomorrow but not a washout, mild air across the uk that we mobile be sandwiched between weather fronts tomorrow so it's likely i think the eastern half of the uk will hang onto that rain first thing sunday, it should be cleared by lunchtime and you can see it's really dragging its heels as it is for the northern isles and then by disguise following, some sunshine as well, not as much as today but a scattering of showers coming through on the south westerly breeze but the temperatures will be three or four degrees up on those of today. up to between 14 or 16 or possibly 17 if we see someone figure spells of sunshine. as we head into next

weekend, a similarly rather unsettled looking picture. it will remain relatively mild, as you can see. even in the north, temperatures above what they should be. further south, hopefully with a bridging bit coming in, high pressure that is, we may see something drier with more prolonged because we need it at the moment, the ground is still very saturated, having seen so much rain so fathers this much with some places already half the month's worth of rain in some western areas but it does look as though for the next few days the rain will be heaviest in the north and west but for today as i have mentioned i think nowhere exempt or today and tonight from things and have you both the rain, mostly in the west naga and charlie.— both the rain, mostly in the west naga and charlie. helen, thank you. 622 is the time. — naga and charlie. helen, thank you. 622 is the time. 623 _ naga and charlie. helen, thank you. 622 is the time. 623 is _ naga and charlie. helen, thank you. 622 is the time. 623 is the _ naga and charlie. helen, thank you. 622 is the time. 623 is the time. - 622 is the time. 623 is the time. caught me out. any other offers? 623 05. a caught me out. any other offers? 623 05- a talking — caught me out. any other offers? 623 05. a talking clock. _ caught me out. any other offers? 623 05. a talking clock. i _ caught me out. any other offers? 623 05. a talking clock. i like _ caught me out. any other offers? 623 05. a talking clock. i like it! _ 05. a talking clock. i like it! precision — 05. a talking clock. i like it! precision is _ 05. a talking clock. i like it! precision is what _ 05. a talking clock. i like it! precision is what we - 05. a talking clock. i like it! precision is what we like. if| 05. a talking clock. i like it! | precision is what we like. if i 05. a talking clock. i like it! i precision is what we like. if i look at our

may not be the only excuse to celebrate. ireland's players have been taking everything in their stride as they get ready to face scotland. even training in front of some of their younger fans. coach andy farrell, as always, a man in demand. : , andy farrell, as always, a man in demand.- here! _ andy farrell, as always, a man in demand.- here! they i andy farrell, as always, a man in demand.- here! they know| andy farrell, as always, a man in demand. fight]?! here! they know that demand. andy! here! they know that after lusty's — demand. andy! here! they know that after lusty's title, _ demand. andy! here! they know that after lusty's title, another _ demand. fichyi here! they know that after lusty's title, another is within their reach. no grand slam this time but still, they say, just a special —— last year's/ it's probably a matter ofjust a special —— last year's/ it's probably a matter of just the a special —— last year's/ it's probably a matter ofjust the irish psyche that, you know, another championship, do you know what i mean? b. championship, do you know what i mean? : , :, , championship, do you know what i mean? : , :, :, championship, do you know what i mean? , :, :, :, mean? a few years ago, you would have taken — mean? a few years ago, you would have taken your _ mean? a few years ago, you would have taken your arm _ mean? a few years ago, you would have taken your arm or— mean? a few years ago, you would have taken your arm or leg - mean? a few years ago, you would have taken your arm or leg for- mean? a few years ago, you would | have taken your arm or leg for one. it matters that massive amount to us. it's what we're here for. permutations are not exactly straightforward but ireland no if they win or draw here, they will be they win or draw here, they will be the champions. in fact, even a

andy swiss, bbc news, dublin. wales vs italy is on bbc one from 1:45pm with coverage of ireland—scotland and france against england on bbc radio 5 live thereafter. meanwhile, england have won the under—20 six nations title after a 45—31 victory over france. they made it hard for themselves, though, after going behind early in the game. the half—time team talk obviously worked, though — england scored 33 second—half points to win their first title since 2021. as well as the six nations, we've got the quarterfinals of the fa cup this weekend. wolves against coventry is first up before manchester city host newcastle live on bbc 1. it's nearly 70 years since newcastle's last major trophy. no such problems for city, who are the premier league, fa cup and champions league holders. they could become the first english side to win successive trebles if they defend all three titles this season but manager pep guardiola says he's not thinking about that.

i never thought last season about that and i'm thinking right now after unintelligible so now tomorrow quarterfinals against a top team at home and unintelligent work reach the semifinals a fair gap for five times in a row i don't know so — and this is our time, step by step and after recover international team players hopefully come back and play a final another final. against arsenal. arsenal's women's side might have got the feeling it was going to be one of those nights when they turned up at stamford bridge for their wsl match against chelsea last night with the wrong socks. they ended up having to buy chelsea away socks from the club shop, which delayed kick—off by half an hour. and then, arsenal ended up losing 3—1 — a huge setback to their title hopes. their goalkeeper unable to stop laurenjames's opener here and sjoeke nusken got a huge slice of luck to get her second goal of the night.

emma hayes' chelsea are three points clear of manchester city at the top of the table for now. it was a fabulous effort from every player to deliver, you know, what we needed. i mean, we've been depleted. we had to play laurenjames up as a centre—forwa rd we had to play laurenjames up as a centre—forward today. she did a tremendous job centre—forward today. she did a tremendousjob but centre—forward today. she did a tremendous job but this centre—forward today. she did a tremendousjob but this is centre—forward today. she did a tremendous job but this is about the whole team. it was an amazing effort from everyone. rory mcilroy has a lot of work to do later — he's eight shots off the lead at the halfway stage of golf�*s players championship at tpc sawgrass in florida, though things are looking better for matt fitzpatrick. it was a mixed second round for mcilroy. he produced five birdies, but also four bogeys and a double bogey. he played some brilliant recovery shots along the way, though, as he finished on 6—under. england's matt fitzpatrick has stormed into contention. his round of 69 leaves him 9—under par and he is five shots off the leader, the us open champion wyndham clark.

after a second gold cup win in a row, record—breaking trainer willie mullins says he's already looking forward to completing a hat—trick at next year's cheltenham festival — that's after galopin des champs capped off a memorable week for mullins. the favourite, ridden by paul townend, defended the gold cup in style in the 100th running of the race. it has been extraordinary. our horses been in such good form coming here, the preparation went so easy, so well. we said to ourselves last saturday morning that we could have a big week and that's exactly what happened. st helens bounced back from their first super league defeat of the season to beat leeds rhinos at headingley last night. they were trailing at the break but second—half tries — including from bennison here — saw them get back to winning ways after last week's defeat to salford red devils. 18—8 it finished. they are joint top with the leaders wigan warriors. rhinos are fifth.

gloucester have claimed english rugby's first piece of silverware this season by beating leicester tigers to lift the premiership rugby cup. leicester had two players in the sin bin when gloucester scored their two tries. the second by cam jordan put them beyond tigers' reach as they went on to win by 23—13 to win their first trophy since 2015. gloucester have claimed english rugby's first piece of silverware this season by beating leicester tigers to lift the premiership rugby cup. leicester had two players in the sin bin when gloucester scored their two tries. the second by cam jordan put them beyond tigers' reach as they went on to win by 23—13 to win their first trophy since 2015. and that, i'm sure, charlie will be very happy about. it and that, i'm sure, charlie will be very happy about-— and that, i'm sure, charlie will be very happy about. it has been a very lona wait, very happy about. it has been a very long wait, chetham. _ very happy about. it has been a very long wait, chetham. very _ very happy about. it has been a very long wait, chetham. very loyal i long wait, chetham. very loyal supporters. stay with them. time will come. , :, , , : :, will come. they will appreciated. lon . will come. they will appreciated. long time- _ will come. they will appreciated. long time. thank _ will come. they will appreciated. long time. thank you, _ will come. they will appreciated. long time. thank you, chetham. will come. they will appreciated. l long time. thank you, chetham. it will come. they will appreciated. i long time. thank you, chetham. it is “ust long time. thank you, chetham. it is 'ust one long time. thank you, chetham. it is just gone past _ long time. thank you, chetham. it is just gone past 6:30am. —— they will appreciate it.

which runs the ship, shared this video of its teams working after dark, a crane carefully lifting crates into the back of a lorry. inside those crates, supplies like rice, vegetables, and cans of tuna. the barge carrying 200 tonnes of food carries it the final metres to the jetty. gaza has no functioning ports, so the jetty, jutting out from the shoreline, was built by a team from the world central kitchen. the israeli army released these images of its forces helping to secure the area. the aid delivery has been highly anticipated since the ship set off from cyprus on tuesday. but how the food will be distributed across northern gaza remains unclear, and will be a challenge. hundreds of thousands of people have very little food, and the un says gaza is on the brink of famine.

the new maritime route is part of an international effort to get more aid into the territory. that includes more air drops of aid. while a us ship is en route with equipment to build its own floating dock of the coast to boost sea deliveries. but aid organisations say the quickest, most effective way to get aid in is by road, but israeli restrictions been a fraction of what is needed is getting in. israel denies it's to blame for gaza's food shortage, blaming logistical failures by aid agencies. all the while, the israeli army's military operation continues. benjamin netanyahu says he has approved a strike on the souther city of rafah, housing more than a million people. the un is against it. the consequences in the current circumstances would be catastrophic

for the people of gaza, for the palestinians. it would be catastrophic for the humanitarian situation. it would be catastrophic all around. as supplies are unloaded from its first trip, a second boat with supplies for gaza is being loaded in cyprus, with the charity hoping it will set sail in the coming days. nicky schiller, bbc news. our correspondent anna foster is injerusalem. good morning, and no. 2 things, if you could pick up on, for us, this aid job via the sea, what could this do in terms of quantities, then the bigger thing about what israel's next plans are in terms of military movements. next plans are in terms of military movements-— next plans are in terms of military movements. ,., ., ., ., . movements. good morning. you are ritht on movements. good morning. you are right on the — movements. good morning. you are right on the 1st _ movements. good morning. you are right on the 1st thing _ movements. good morning. you are right on the 1st thing on _ movements. good morning. you are right on the 1st thing on that - right on the ist thing on that question, because when you see a coming in like this, it looks like a positive move, and it is. any aid is welcome by those, with the people in

the north of gaza having very little delivered to them at all. but the scale of the need is huge. boats are coming in via the sea, with air drops also of aid. but that is tiny compared to the total that is needed. the fastest and most efficient and tried and tested way is to bring aid into gaza via land. israel controls that. as the occupying power in gaza, they have a responsibility to provide food, water, humanitarian needs. that leads into the 2nd part of the question — what is likely to happen next? international pressure on israel remains for a humanitarian ceasefire. hamas put forward a new plan yesterday, which israel said was unrealistic. but they are sending a negotiating team to talk about it in qatar. they have not

they do damage access. they do put people off. his rival, jeremy miles, says his political awakening also came in the 19805, growing up during the miners' strike, and studying law. if he wins, he'll become the first gay first minister of wales. the campaign hasn't been without controversy. jeremy miles was unhappy with the unite union ruling him ineligible to receive their support. vaughan gething's acceptance of a £200,000 donation from a company run by a man convicted for environmental offences as seen him criticised within labour ranks. whoever follows in mark drakeford's footsteps may struggle to get the same level of public recognition that he built up during the pandemic. ever heard ofjeremy miles? no. vaughan gething? no. i've forgotten the names, to be honest. i can tell you mark drakeford.

vaughan gething? yeah. what do you think of him? no idea, don't know him, personally. i don't know. today's result should be followed next week by a vote in the senedd to decide the next first minister. arguably, that's when the hard work begins. hywel griffith, bbc news. sir lenny henry has fronted comic relief for the final time, nearly four decades after he co—founded the charity. last night's show raised more than £a0 million towards tackling poverty in the uk and around the world. as he signed off, the comedian thanked the public for its generosity over the years. our culture reporter, noor nanji, was watching. £1 , 602,539,15a. sir lenny henry revealing the total amount raised by comic relief over the past 39 years that he's been at the helm —

yesterday so they could be ice around with the clear skies and a touch of ground frost further south which means the icy patches could exist as well as freezing fog and we have this window of fine weather but already marching in with rain in is our next low pressure system, the next set of weather fronts. once again, rain is in the forecast. for the north and east of scotland, the eastern parts of england, i think the sunshine will hang on the longest and we should stay dry here until after dark but heavy rain for northern ireland by the end of the morning, dribs and drabs pushing across western england, wales towards the midlands as well by teatime and temperatures will not be quite as high as they were yesterday because of all of the chilly start, about average, on parfor the because of all of the chilly start, about average, on par for the time of year. it's the final day of the six nations of course, so weatherwise it equates to potentially a bit of patchy rain in carter. i think we may see some heavy rain in dublin. it will be heading towards paris this evening. it should start dried but some splits and spots of rain and drizzle in the air because it is a weak

weather front initially and this evening and overnight, heavier pulses already with us in the west pushed eastward so north—eastern scotland, central southern parts of england and england were quite wet actually, wet and windy, breezy day today, so much, much milder overnight tonight as we start tomorrow morning. just rather misty and murky under the weather front here. to the west of it, skies start to clear but somehow was put in behind because it is still the pressure with us but the difference tomorrow is that we asked wazed in this atlantic self the southwesterly wind so mild today once again returning ——we are swathed. work and misty first thing and quite wet and the rain is really going to drag its heels to clear across eastern parts of england in the northeast of scotland but as it does so, brighter skies, not an abundance of sunshine as we are seeing but some sunshine and scattered showers and potentially for northern ireland and western scotland again some lengthy spells of rain. but it is milder, even with the cloud and the rain tomorrow, 1a— 16 degrees. we keep

the mild theme going as we head into next week. you can see the southwesterly winds, but it doesn't mean it will be dry unfortunately. more rain in the forecast with the grounds of every such related at this time of year, —— very saturated. patchy rain on sunday, perhaps something drier before we have more rain coming in later in the day on monday. the same weather front will hang around for a couple of days, waxing and waning. but it is mild as you can say, 13—16. but it's a chilly start this morning, enjoyable for many with some crisp frost on the grass.— frost on the grass. helen, thank ou. it frost on the grass. helen, thank you. it doesn't _ frost on the grass. helen, thank you. it doesn't look _ frost on the grass. helen, thank you. it doesn't look too - frost on the grass. helen, thank you. it doesn't look too bad! - frost on the grass. helen, thank you. it doesn't look too bad! it's warming up! it's 7:20. leading doctors are warning that blood sugar monitors being promoted across social media are unnecessary for people who don't have diabetes and, in the most extreme cases, could put some at risk of eating disorders. the devices are part of a trend for personalised nutrition, spearheaded by companies like zoe. our health and disinformation reporter rachel schraer has been getting the details.

blood glucose monitors like these have been used by people with diabetes for years. now zoe is trying to bring them to people without the condition and you will find their trademark yellow logo everywhere, on social media, on bus stops and even branded yoga drinks in your local supermarket. but the health technology company is just one of several selling the promise of personalised diet advice, clearly tailored to your individual body. zoe says this can help you lose weight and get healthy about dieticians and doctors have told the bbc they are concerned these types of programmes have elements that are not based on strong evidence. they could even be harmfulfor some people. so, how does market leader zoe's people. so, how does market leader zoe's programme work? customers are given a gadget called a continuous glucose monitor to track what their blood sugar is doing. asked to wear it for two weeks and log everything they eat. people doing the zoe

programme are also asked to eat a special cookie high in fat and sugar and then do a blood test to see how much of the fat and sugar ends up in their blood. and they send a stool sample to zoe to test the bacteria in the gut. blood sugar monitoring isn't the only thing zoe focuses on but it's probably the thing that is gained the most attention. they are recommended for many people with diabetes but what about four people without the condition? i've spoken to doctor paff akkar, the nhs's national diabetes advisor. there is hu . e national diabetes advisor. there is huge evidence _ national diabetes advisor. there is huge evidence that _ national diabetes advisor. there is huge evidence that those - national diabetes advisor. there is i huge evidence that those continuous glucose monitors of people do have have tied to diabetes, type one, the evidence base beyond that for people without diabetes extremely sketchy if not poor. you really run into the risk of creating a degree of eating disorder so to speak which we do see in some people sol disorder so to speak which we do see in some people so i think it is important to bear that in mind and thatis important to bear that in mind and that is a worry. important to bear that in mind and that is a worry-— that is a worry. eating disorders are complex _ that is a worry. eating disorders are complex mental _ that is a worry. eating disorders are complex mental health - that is a worry. eating disorders - are complex mental health conditions and there is no evidence there is a

widespread reaction to the programme. zoe says that coaches are trained to support people through issues like food anxiety and they take their customer's well being seriously and say that coaches can refer people onto other services if they it's necessary. i also told us: it's continuing to: for its members. i've spoken to the chief scientist sarah berry. i've spoken to the chief scientist sarah lterry-— i've spoken to the chief scientist sarah ber . ~ �* , . , sarah berry. we're building a bigger icture. sarah berry. we're building a bigger picture- yes. _ sarah berry. we're building a bigger picture- yes. we _ sarah berry. we're building a bigger picture. yes, we don't _ sarah berry. we're building a bigger picture. yes, we don't have - sarah berry. we're building a bigger picture. yes, we don't have of - sarah berry. we're building a bigger picture. yes, we don't have of the i picture. yes, we don't have of the evidence but i think it would actually be irresponsible to wait a0 years until we see these hard clinical evidences, especially given the food landscape we now live in where there is an excess of the types of food that we know because these big increases in circulated inaudible. these big increases in circulated lnaudlble-_ these big increases in circulated inaudible. ,, , , ., inaudible. date specialists have told the bbc _ inaudible. date specialists have told the bbc that _ inaudible. date specialists have told the bbc that the _ inaudible. date specialists have told the bbc that the zoey - inaudible. date specialists have - told the bbc that the zoey programme contains plenty of sensible advice like eating more whole foods and

plants but it's hard to separate out the effective meal plans, online support and coaching from their boulder claims that zoe tests can predict your health and personalise your diets. these are less evidence—based, researchers say, and make it harder to know which bits of the programme should be recommended to the general population. 2a minutes past seven is the time. her role as shiv roy in the hit tv show succession turned sarah snook into a global star. this week, she received a coveted best actress olivier award nomination for her performance in london's west end in a new adaptation of the oscar wilde story the picture of dorian gray. the production sees her play all 26 characters, as our reporter tim muffett has been finding out. if only i could remain always young. in the picture could grow old. sarah, so good to meet you. firstly, the heart of this very famous by

oscar wilde, there is a fundamental dilemma for the main character, isn't there?— isn't there? yeah, it's about a ount isn't there? yeah, it's about a young man — isn't there? yeah, it's about a young man named _ isn't there? yeah, it's about a young man named dorian, i isn't there? yeah, it's about a i young man named dorian, dorian isn't there? yeah, it's about a - young man named dorian, dorian gray, who has a portrait painted of him when he is in his 205 and when he sees the porter, he hasjust had this kind of every faustian mellifluous voice utter in his voice that wouldn't be wonderful to stay forever young and youth is the only thing that's really and he makes a wish that that's what happens, that the portrait is the one to bear the burden of his passions and his sins. but i would give everything. i would give my soul for that. but i would give everything. i would give my soulfor that. i but i would give everything. i would give my soul for that. i would but i would give everything. i would give my soulfor that. i would give my soul for that. you give my soul for that. i would give my soul for that.— my soul for that. you play 'ust the 26 characters. * my soul for that. you play 'ust the 26 characters. yeah, h my soul for that. you play 'ust the 26 characters. yeah, just _ my soul for that. you playjust the 26 characters. yeah, just the - my soul for that. you playjust the 26 characters. yeah, just the 26. . 26 characters. yeah, 'ust the 26. undaunted * 26 characters. yeah, 'ust the 26. undaunted wau _ 26 characters. yeah, just the 26. undaunted wau take _ 26 characters. yeah, just the 26. undaunted wau take this - 26 characters. yeah, just the 26. undaunted wau take this on? i undaunted wau take this on? undaunted, i would say. but i think thrilled by the challenge. and i think oscar wilde is very prescient and very kind of intuitive about what would happen when you don't have any checks and balances over

youth and the power that comes with age and beauty and what happens to dorian's soul as he slides further into corruption is what the story is about. i would give my soulfor that. �* , about. i would give my soulfor that. r about. i would give my soulfor that. a . . that. as you say, age and perceptions _ that. as you say, age and perceptions of _ that. as you say, age and perceptions of beauty - that. as you say, age and perceptions of beauty are i that. as you say, age and - perceptions of beauty are key strands running through the story, aren't they? yes, and i guess in the acting industry they are things that i do know dealt with in considered a lot. oh, yeah. how is a changelog you has been a doctor? is lot. oh, yeah. how is a changelog you has been a doctor?— lot. oh, yeah. how is a changelog you has been a doctor? is far more body diversity _ you has been a doctor? is far more body diversity in — you has been a doctor? is far more body diversity in the _ you has been a doctor? is far more body diversity in the industry - you has been a doctor? is far more body diversity in the industry now . body diversity in the industry now and a lot more diversity across the board but there's certainly more scrutiny in some because we have a very sort of image —based culture with things like instagram and facebook and twitter. has with things like instagram and facebook and twitter. has there been instances in — facebook and twitter. has there been instances in your _ facebook and twitter. has there been instances in your career _ facebook and twitter. has there been instances in your career where - instances in your career where someone has asked you to change the way you look and you just think how on earth was not allowed to happen? oh, yeah, yeah, buti on earth was not allowed to happen? oh, yeah, yeah, but i think that's not going to happen ever again in the industry, i think that

by a growing number of head teachers is the school streets scheme. it stops cars from using the road outside a school during drop—off and pick—up times. there are currently more than 600 so—called school streets across the uk and sustainable transport charity sustrans says it has worked with more than 70 councils to implement the scheme. but the measures can provoke a mixed response, as our reporter fiona irving has been finding out in medway in kent. for some in medway today, the school run has just become significantly safer. for others,'sjust run has just become significantly safer. for others,'s just got a lot more stressful. i safer. for others,'s 'ust got a lot more stressful.— safer. for others,'s 'ust got a lot more stressful. i have to park three streets away _ more stressful. i have to park three streets away because _ more stressful. i have to park three streets away because this _ more stressful. i have to park three streets away because this is - streets away because this is blocked, this is blocked. i can't come through the road, it is 1—way. they will be late. it is chaos at school — they will be late. it is chaos at school time was not a turnaround in a school _ school time was not a turnaround in a school zone. children running around — a school zone. children running around i— a school zone. children running around. ithink

crown. there is stuff on the line for scotland. for wales, they could get the metaphorical wooden spoon, if they lose all their matches. that ice skates jeopardy, if they lose all their matches. that ice skatesjeopardy, but if they lose all their matches. that ice skates jeopardy, but plenty of intrigue. but it is in ireland's hands, as i say, and from dublin, andy swiss reports. —— that high stakes jeopardy, andy swiss reports. —— that high stakesjeopardy, no, but plenty of intrigue. they're preparing for st patrick's day in dublin this weekend but it might not be the only excuse to celebrate. cheering ireland's players have been taking everything in their stride as they get ready to face scotland, even training in front of some of their younger fans. coach andy farrell, as always, a man in demand. andy! it's here! can you hear me? they know that after last year's title, another is within their reach. no grand slam this time but still, they say, just as special. it's probably a manner ofjust the irish kind of psyche that, oh jesus, you know, another championship, do you know what i mean?

when all of a sudden, a few years ago, you'd have taken your arm or leg off for one, you know what i mean? worse than the same but, you know, it matters a massive amount to us. it's what we're here for. well, the permutations are not exactly straightforward but ireland know if they win or draw here, they will be the champions. in fact, even a narrow defeat will almost certainly be enough. anything else, though, and we'll be in for a dramatic finale. commentator: ireland hanging on! drop goal attempt from marcus smith! it would mean england could snatch the title if they beat france and after last weekend's thrilling win over ireland, they'll need a similar display to have any hope. we've had a performance. how do we back it up? because last week means nothing if we don't play well, perform well this weekend. doesn't really matter about the result for us. we're about performing well, performing in the england way that we've showed a little bit more of at the weekend.

and wales with the attack again. north coming in and north still going! forwales, meanwhile, it's goodbye to a great. george north's last international and needing to beat italy to dodge the wooden spoon. how they'd love a bit of this. but while for them it's about avoiding last, for others, it's about finishing first. ireland know another trophy is theirs for the taking. andy swiss, bbc news, dublin. so—called super saturday, it looks like. wales v italy is on bbc one from 1:45pm with coverage of ireland scotland and france against england on bbc radio 5 live following thereafter. meanwhile, england have won the under—20 six nations title after a 45—31 victory over france. they made it hard for themselves though after going behind early in the game. the half—time team talk, though, seemed to work, as england scored 33 second—half points to win their first title since 2021. as well as the six nations,

we've got the quarter—finals of the fa cup this weekend. wolves against coventry is first up before manchester city host newcastle live on bbc one. it's nearly 70 years since newcastle's last major trophy. no such problems for city who are the premier league, fa cup and champions league holders. they could become the first english side to win successive trebles if they defend all three titles this season. but manager pep guadiola says he's not thinking about that. i never thought last season about that. i'm not thinking right now after done it, so... it's now is the tomorrow's quarterfinals against a top team at home. we are people to reach a semifinala fair gap, i don't know, four orfive times in a row, i don't know, how many, so... and this is — this is our target — step by step and after recover, go to national teams and players hopefully come back and play a final — another final against arsenal. city — arsenal is at the end of this

month. arsenal's women's side might have got the feeling it was going to be one of those nights when they turned up at stamford bridge for their wsl match against chelsea last night with the wrong socks. they eneded up having to buy chelsea away socks from the club shop — that delayed kick off by half an hour. and then arsenal ended up losing 3—1, a huge setback to their title hopes. their goalkeeper unable to stop laurenjames's opener here. and sjoeke nusken got a huge slice of luck to get her second goal of the night. emma hayes' chelsea are three points clear of manchester city at the top of the table for now. it was a fabulous effort from every player to deliver, you know, what we needed. i mean, we'd been depleted. we had to play, you know, laurenjames up as a centre—forward today. and she did a tremendous job. but this is about the whole team. it was an amazing effort from everyone. rory mcilroy has got a lot

of work to do later — he's eight shots off the lead at the half way stage of golf�*s players championship at tpc sawgrass in florida though things are looking better for matt fitzpatrick. it was a mixed second round for mcilroy — produced five birdies, but also four bogeys and a double bogey. he played some brilliant recovery shots along the way, though, as he finished on six—under. england's matt fitzpatrick as stormed into contention, his round of 69 leaves him nine—under par, and he is five shots off the leader — the us open champion wyndham clark. the woman who made accusations about red bull principal christian horner�*s behaviour is to appeal against red bull's decision to dismiss her complaint. the woman, who was suspended from her position last week by red bull, accused horner of inappropriate and controlling behaviour. she'll ask red bull to reconsider its decision, which was made after an investigation conducted by a lawyer. christian horner has always denied the accusations made against him. st helens bounced back from their first super league defeat of the season to beat leeds rhinos at headingley last night.

they were trailing at the break but second half tries, including from jon bennison here, saw them get back to winning ways after last week's defeat to salford red devils. 18—8 it finished. they are joint top with the leaders wigan warriors. rhinos are fifth. gloucester have claimed english rugby's first piece of silverware this season by beating leicester tigers to lift the premiership rugby cup. leicester had two players in the sin bin when gloucester scored their two tries. the second by cam jordan put them beyond tigers reach as they went on to win by 23 points to 13 to win their first trophy since 2015. after a second gold cup win in a row, record—breaking trainer willie mullins says he's already looking forward to completing a hattrick at next year's cheltenham festival. that's after galopin des champs capped off a memorable week for mullins. the favourite, ridden by paul townend, defended the gold cup in style in the 100th running of the race. and, of course, mullins reach 100

possibly 17 where you see the sunshine coming up for any length of time and that mild air will stay with us as we go into next week. most of us, coming in from the south or south—westerly direction, the winds, bringing in some weather fronts as well as you can see. the first one comes in late in the on monday, a low pressure system than hanging into tuesday and is weather fronts takes its time to clear southern and eastern areas, areas that have been very, very wet throughout the course of february, certainly, and the first half of march. that's what we will need to watch but for the meantime, most of the rain today will be in the west, chilly but sunny start this morning for many. chilly but sunny start this morning for man . :, for many. helen, if it were done, but were best — for many. helen, if it were done, but were best done _ for many. helen, if it were done, but were best done quickly. - for many. helen, if it were done, but were best done quickly. do . for many. helen, if it were done, i but were best done quickly. do we know that one? i but were best done quickly. do we know that one?— but were best done quickly. do we know that one? i do. do you know what's going _ know that one? i do. do you know what's going on? _ know that one? i do. do you know what's going on? a _ know that one? i rr do you know what's going on? a cautionary know that one? i 99 do you know what's going on? a cautionary word. there's more! a cautionary word, our editor todayjonathan knows his shakespeare and straightaway he told naga she had got it._

this was the headline on last sunday's early evening news. the princess of wales thanks the public for their support in her first personal statement since undergoing abdominal surgery. a new family photo shows catherine at windsor two months after her operation. but that photograph — which may have been intended as a way of dampening down social media speculation about the health of the princess of wales — then became subject to intense speculation itself, notjust online, but across newspapers and broadcast media, too. it was back at the top of bbc one's headlines throughout the following day. last night, the first of five news agencies issued dramatically worded kill notices, withdrawing the photo due to what the agency said were "inconsistencies in the image". then, this morning, a social media post from the princess of wales herself, where she admitted altering the image. she said:

since kensington palace announced in january that the princess had undergone abdominal surgery — providing no further details and asking for privacy — there's been a growing tide of online rumours and conspiracy theories about her. but did the bbc this week abide by that request for privacy or did it fuel the fire of those rumours? hundreds of people sent us their views on this, including julie northeast, who wrote: and john stokes asked:

well, another viewer who got in touch with us this week was david force, and hejoins us now down the line. while here in the studio is james stephenson, the news editor for bbc news. thank you both for coming on newswatch. so, david, lots of news organisations felt that altering the photo was a big news story. did you? it was a story, it wasn't a big news story, as far as i'm concerned. it's an amateur photographer, not a professional photographer and it was a joyful family photo. i've done it myself with family photos is do a little bit of alteration. but what has been taken up by the media — and i watch the bbc a lot — and, certainly, the bbc all day monday to have the lead article

with a forensic dissection of that photograph, looking at every aspect of it, to me, was was over the top when there so many more important things going on around the world. james, the story took up eight minutes, pretty much, of all three main bbc bulletins on monday — nearly a third of the air time. wasn't that excessive? i don't think it was, and i think we've seen from your introduction that the picture was already a story on sunday because of the decision by the princess of wales to release it, as you say, to mark mother's day. so, it was already a big story — and, as david said, a heart—warming one. so, the picture had had prominence and had been — they had made the decision to release it. so, when serious doubts came to be cast on it, i think it was inevitable that there would be a degree of prominence and this kind of prominence to the reporting of the questions surrounding it. and i think the thing that really — really tipped that particularly was the decision of these major news agencies — i think initially the associated press — to recall the picture — this so—called kill notice —

where they were casting doubt on — essentially saying, as they later said, that they that they had detected an element of manipulation of the picture. so, i think it was inevitable that, taken together, those things were going to mean it was going to get a lot of attention from from across the media, including the bbc. david, the royal family often does events with media coverage in mind, so i guess the case that the bbc is making is isn't it valid for bbc news to look into some of its affairs when there is a story? well, yes, certainly to look into it when there is a story and, yes, there was a bit of a story here. but to have it as such a major item throughout the day was just wrong. the princess is just getting over abdominal surgery. the royals live their life in the goldfish bowl. i imagine her mental health is quite fragile at the moment and i know that the bbc are very keen on promoting mental health and i don't think having this plastered all over the bbc all day and all evening was conducive to her well—being.

i think it was just totally over the top and i feel quite cross about it — this is the first time i've ever written to the bbc, and ijust feel it was overkill. james, kate did ask for privacy after her operation. shouldn't the bbc have respected that? we understood at the time that there would be differences of view. it's something of a perhaps a kind of marmite story where we knew from, particularly the figures we get in real time, it was far and away that the story that people were most interested in on the day. and that isn't in itself a reason to do the story but it does speak to the idea that there's a huge amount of interest and, as you touched on, concern about the princess of wales. i mean, i understand that that the points that you're making and why you're saying them but i think we felt there was an inevitability about the level of interest. and then, when this doubt was cast on what had actually happened to the story — sorry, what had actually happened to the picture, that then heightened the interest.

but ijust wanted to add that i think that this story was given an extra impetus by the degree of scrutiny that there now is around photographs and the authenticity of photographs, and that plays into the question of trust. can you trust what you're seeing? it's been heightened recently, as you've probably seen by the interest around artificial intelligence, ai, and what's now possible. so, i think that added to the saliency of the story, that there was a feeling that it was important to understand what had happened here, once it became clear that there had been some degree of manipulation of the image. james, just to follow up on this idea of the online speculation about kate's health. she's not been seen officially in public since christmas day. the feeling was still, for many viewers, that by reporting on this photograph so extensively and all the possible manipulations that inevitably, the bbc was fuelling even more all this speculation. well, we have a responsibility to report things that

are in the public domain that we think are of interest to our viewers and are in the public interest. we felt that this was an example of that. there are other cases where we've chosen not to run images or footage because we think it doesn't meet those kind of tests and we'll continue to try and make careful decisions. and it's useful to have the feedback from david and other members of the audience, where they think — that they take a different view of the decisions that we that we made. final brief word to you, david — what would you like the bbc to do differently with this kind of story, maybe? what lessons you'd like them to learn? what i want from the bbc is that they should report important worldwide news, rather than too much speculation. they can leave speculation up to red top and newspapers. i want news that's happened, that's important, to be reported by the bbc. thank you so much, david foster. thank you as well, james stephenson.

the controversial social media influencer andrew tate and his brother tristan were detained on monday in bucharest after a romanian court ruled that they could be extradited to the uk to face allegations, including rape and human trafficking — all of which they deny. if you may have looked at someone wrong or sped in a car in 2012, they're going to try and put you injailfor it. but these are very serious allegations. but you must accept these are very serious allegations. if you interrupt me again, sir, please. so, what happens is when you get to a certain level of fame, they go through your entire life forensically and try and destroy you. the report went on to show a clip from one of andrew tate's videos, which elicited this reaction from lesley.

we asked bbc news for a response to that and they told us: finally, the annual oscars ceremony in los angeles always divides audiences between those who lap up the glamour and glitz, the speeches and the red carpet, and those who think it has no place on the news. alan mcdonnell�*s concern was financial. meanwhile, anthony little is clearly not a fan of the whole event.

thank you for all your comments this week. we'll be talking next week to paul royall, who runs the bbc�*s news channel. so, if you've got any comments or questions for him, do let us know. and if you want to share your opinions about anything you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online and social media email us. you can find us on x, formerly known as twitter. you can call us. and do have a look at previous interviews on our website. 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 naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: the first aid to be sent to gaza by sea arrives in the territory — around 200 tonnes of food are delivered to a temporaryjetty. warnings of serious delays as a section of the m25 is closed for the weekend — a diversion is in place around the roadworks in surrey, drivers are told to keep away. i thank you with every ventricle of my heart. never give up caring. sir lenny henry signs off after fronting his last comic relief

with heartfelt thanks to the public for its generosity over nearly lio years. it's so—called super saturday in the six nations — four teams can technically win the championship later, but it's ireland in the driving seat to land back—to—back titles. the viral moment a grandmother was hoisted into the air by a shop's shutters is captured in a new mural at the scene. good morning. it's much colder this morning, with a frost to greet us in the north and one or two ice and fog patches as well. for the weekend prospect, join me for more detail in around a quarter of an hour. prospect, join me for more detail in it's saturday the 16th march. a ship carrying 200 tonnes of food to gaza has started unloading its cargo after leaving cyprus earlier this week. it's the first vessel to try to get supplies into the area via sea and is seen as a test for future aid operations. the un says the territory is on the brink of famine.

our correspondent nicky schiller has more. the moment it is desperately needed —— make it specially needed cargo was unloaded onto the gas ashore, the charity which runs the ship shared this video of its teams working after dark. a crane carefully lifting weights into the back of a lorry. inside the crates, supplies including rice, flour, canned vegetables and tuna. the barge carrying the 200 tonnes of food was pushed by small inflatable vessels the final few metres to a makeshift jetty. vessels the final few metres to a makeshiftjetty. gaza has no functioning port, so thejetty, jutting out from the shore line, was built by 18 from the world central kitchen. the israeli army released these pictures of its forces helping to prepare and secure the area. the aid delivery has been highly anticipated since the ship set off from cyprus on tuesday. but how the

food will be distributed across northern gaza remains unclear and will be a challenge. hundreds of thousands of people have very little food and the un says gaza is on the brink of famine. the new maritime route is part of an international effort to get more aid into the territory. that includes more airdrops ofaid. territory. that includes more airdrops of aid. whilst a us ship is in root with equipment to build its own floating dock off the coast to boost sea deliveries. but aid organisations say the quickest and most effective way to get aid in is by road. but israeli restrictions mean a fraction of what is needed is getting in. israel denies it is to blame for gaza's food shortage, blaming logistical failures by blame for gaza's food shortage, blaming logisticalfailures by aid agencies. all the while, the israeli army's military operation continues with prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying he has approved plans for an assault on the southern city of rafah, which is sheltering more than 1 city of rafah, which is sheltering more than1 million city of rafah, which is sheltering more than 1 million displaced people, something the united nations

200 tonnes and it says like it will make a significant difference. while any amount of aid is welcomed by a desperate population, there are still 300,000 or so people in the north of gaza who have been receiving very little aid at all in the last few weeks. this is a tiny amount compared to what gaza needs. more than a quarter of the population are at risk of famine. what has been repeatedly set by humanitarian organisations and by world leaders is that there is no substitute for taking aid into gaza by road through those land routes. that's the way to get aid in at scale. while we look at ships and airdrops and they help the problem, they don't go anywhere near solving it. that is why humanitarian ceasefire is still being pushed for, that's really what many people hope the next step will be. but it's proving very difficult to negotiate. we haven't had a ceasefire since november of last year and that one only lasted for one week. hamas put

forward a new proposal 48 hours ago, israel said it contained unrealistic demands, but they are going to talk about it, so that is a small positive thing. an israeli team is going to go to doha, mediators will look at it, they will hear the israeli and the hamas position is once again. it represents a tiny bit of movement towards a ceasefire. it doesn't mean that some sort of cessation of hostilities is imminent. what it means is that the two sides are still talking, met at the moment will be welcomed. thank ou ve the moment will be welcomed. thank you very much- _ we can show you some pictures of the m25, we will give you full details of this in a few minutes. this is from a helicopter. part of the m25, the first time this has ever happened, shot over a period of time, effectively two days for essential repairs. a lot of warnings about the problems this might cause

for local areas. we are going to be talking about this quite a bit more in about ten or 15 minutes. quite a bit of concern about that. and that image itself, no cars on the m25 for that stretch. since it was opened in 1986. yes, we will cover that letter. some other news. families who used a funeral director in hull to bury or cremate their loved ones have been asked by police to provide photographs and descriptions of their relatives. humberside police say they believe they've identified all 35 bodies recovered at legacy independent funeral directors as part of an investigation sparked by what officers described as "concern for care of the deceased". richard shaw was asked to provide information about his wife rita, who died last year. i don't know if i got the right ashes at all, it could be anybody�*s, i think. you get over the initial

shock of rita passing away, sad, but it is this on top of it, if they are not rita's ashes, it is like torture for the rest of your life. the number of specialist nhs clinics that treat gambling addictions have almost doubled in the past year. the health service has just opened its 15th gambling clinic in england, meaning up to 3,000 people a year can be treated for the addiction. it follows an increased demand for support. former us vice president mike pence has said that he will not be endorsing donald trump as his former boss runs for a second term in the white house. mike pence served him as vice president for four years, but now argues that the republican contender has walked away from conservative issues such as abortion and us national debt. the next first minister of wales will be announced this morning. the economy minister, vaughan gething, and the education ministerjeremy miles have been competing to succeed the current leader, mark drakeford, who's stepping down after five years. our wales correspondent

hywel griffith is in cardiff. good morning. so who will actually be deciding who takes over from mark drakeford? so, the vote has been between labour members here within wales and affiliate members within the unions. we had no problem whatsoever but what we do know is that it whatsoever but what we do know is thatitis whatsoever but what we do know is that it is a two horse race between two men, vaughan gething and jeremy miles. there was some disappointment over the fact that no female candidate came forward. there has been very little to separate the two candidates. what we do know is that whoever wins will make history, jeremy miles would be the first gay first minister of wales, or vaughan gething would be the first black first minister. but this is about leading the welsh labour party. we secures that today, next week they should be endorsed within the senedd and having the full senate might vote them in as the next first minister, replacing mark drakeford.

northern ireland. that is this mass of gathering cloud, the next area of low pressure. that fine start really short lived for many and western parts of the uk. but with that fine start, it's cold. we have a frost quite widely for scotland and northern ireland down into northern england. one or two freezing fog patches are in the midlands. and further north. the rain will take centre stage for northern ireland and then dribs and drabs across wales, the west of england come into the midlands. north—east england and east anglia and the south—east holding onto the sunshine the longest. but even here the sunshine fades later. it's not as mild as yesterday because they have got that chilly start but i'm sure that will not dampen the fans of the rugby. this afternoon it is likely you will see a few spots of rain in cardiff. in dublin as well, we might see some heavier rain but i think for the france match against england should be largely dried. the weather fronts to the north across the uk. but

those fronts give some heavier rain this evening again for possible northern ireland into scotland and northern england. in other parts of heavier rain pushing up across central and eastern parts of england through the night. yet more unwelcome rain, because it is particularly across southern areas where we have had so much rain. very mild air, night—time temperatures not farfrom where mild air, night—time temperatures not far from where they should be at this time of year and it means a more grey start of the day for many of us tomorrow. the mild air over the uk. relatively cold seas so there will be misty low cloud around there will be misty low cloud around the coasts tomorrow and over the hills. so it will be a fairly dreary start in quite a wet one across central and eastern parts of england. slow to clear and even in southern and western areas, misty and murky. a brighter weather following behind. but with some showers and another weather front in scotland and northern ireland so a fairly complicated picture for the second part of the weekend. but it will be mild despite all that cloud

around. come rain or shine it will be a milder day tomorrow because of the wind direction which will be quite brisk. as it will as we head into monday, giving us rather mild, and more weather fronts coming into monday, giving us rather mild, and more weatherfronts coming in into monday, giving us rather mild, and more weather fronts coming in as we go into monday and tuesday. its next area of rain coming into monday, then hanging around across southern areas on tuesday, possibly wednesday. that will be a concern as well. so monday, it doesn't look as if we will see a great deal of rain. still a very changeable and unsettled passion as we keep that atlantic wind flow, often laden with moisture but it will at least give us mild. back to you. sometimes you see images and people ask the question, how is the traffic flowing on the motorway or whatever.

this image is one you will not see very often. this is a live image of a stretch of the m25 in surrey, and as you can see there is no traffic. this has never actually been seen before. ~ , . . . . this has never actually been seen before-— we i this has never actually been seen - before.— we have before. why is it happening? we have a coule of before. why is it happening? we have a couple of days _ before. why is it happening? we have a couple of days when _ before. why is it happening? we have a couple of days when part _ before. why is it happening? we have a couple of days when part of - before. why is it happening? we have a couple of days when part of the - a couple of days when part of the m25 is shut. a lot of concern that thousands of people will be caught up thousands of people will be caught up in commuter problems because of gridlocked traffic. this has happened for the first time since it opened in 1986. five miles of this stretch will be opened, between junctions ten and 11. there are close for maintenance work. it is that love to hate bit of the country's motorways, one of the busiest, one of the most congested. the m25 circles london and connects its four main airports including the

uk's largest, heathrow. forthose who use it daily, can be, well, a bit of a nightmare. this weekend, the first closure in its history. a five mile stretch from junction ten to 11 is rebuilt. there will be a diversion route through surrey although we are being told not to use it at all if possible. i although we are being told not to use it at all if possible.— use it at all if possible. i think the closure — use it at all if possible. i think the closure of _ use it at all if possible. i think the closure of the _ use it at all if possible. i think the closure of the m25, - use it at all if possible. i think the closure of the m25, if - use it at all if possible. i think. the closure of the m25, if drivers do not abide by the warnings, has the potential to be absolute chaos and absolute gridlock. it is not looking good. it's a five mile stretch of the m25 that if that's close, the knock—on effects could be immense. but close, the knock-on effects could be immense. �* ., , , ., immense. but the many collisions on this stretch of _ immense. but the many collisions on this stretch of the _ immense. but the many collisions on this stretch of the motorway, - immense. but the many collisions on this stretch of the motorway, often i this stretch of the motorway, often caused by vehicles changing lanes and the sheer volume of traffic, the works are supposed to remedy that. of temporary diversions are significant. this vets in surrey has been tilling with roadworks for over

and the end of the year are planned to national highways and drivers have been advised to take the train instead and plan journeys well in advance. but the advice for this weekend, avoid, avoid. our correspondent marc ashdown is on the m25 in west byfleet for us this morning. well, you are above the m25. that extraordinary image of no traffic. how's it working out? look extraordinary image of no traffic. how's it working out?— extraordinary image of no traffic. how's it working out? look at this. normally this _ how's it working out? look at this. normally this would _ how's it working out? look at this. normally this would be _ how's it working out? look at this. normally this would be a _ how's it working out? look at this. normally this would be a heaving, | normally this would be a heaving, buzzing mass of traffic, lorries and cars buzzing around the m25. this morning, absolute tranquillity. to give you an idea of where we are, just between six and seven on the clock face. this area closed all weekend. there is only one man who can explain all of this, our travel experts simon calder. i know you

is that the villages and towns nearby will get very congested as people try and find different routes. you'll remember that earlier on in the programme we asked for your thoughts on the use of restrictions to traffic on streets outside of schools, otherwise known as the 'school streets scheme'. this we have had quite a few people getting a trash about this. obviously it matters enormously to be in their local areas. —— my people getting in touch. elaine has been in touch to say that one hasjust been introduced near her and she is already a big fan. she says that the road used to be a 'free for all�* with many near misses. tracy has grandchildren at school and says that she'd love them all to adopt the scheme as it's only a matter of time before a child is knocked down due to busy roads. tony in bletchley sent us a whatsapp to share that there was a trial of the scheme at his local school and he found that it benefited notjust the children, as they had a safe walk into school,

but also the wider neighbourhood. paul and anna also got in touch about a school streets scheme in redbridge. they said that the school traffic nowjust gets moved to the areas outside the schools close vicinity — which are now congested, noisy and stressful for residents. sol so i suppose therein lies the danger. it goes from one place and transfers to someone else. absolutely. keep your thoughts coming in, thank you for those. you might think window cleaning is a time—consuming chore, but that's not the case for terry "turbo" burrows. 9.14 seconds — that's how long he needs to clean three standard office windows, which makes him the world's fastest cleaner — a record he's held for 29 years. now his daughter, aliscia, has joined him at the top by breaking another record for the fastest clean. our reporter matt graveling is with them this morning in little clacton. i hadn't seen the image before but we can see them doing their work at

speed. we can see them doing their work at seed. : . . . we can see them doing their work at seed. ~ . ,, speed. at a speed indeed. good morninu. speed. at a speed indeed. good morning- we — speed. at a speed indeed. good morning. i've been _ speed. at a speed indeed. good morning. i've been lucky- speed. at a speed indeed. good| morning. i've been lucky enough speed. at a speed indeed. good i morning. i've been lucky enough to come to the world cup, wimbledon, the us open mic but let me tell you, we have a matchup today like we have never seen before. —— by the us open. we are talking window cleaning, but notjust any open. we are talking window cleaning, but not just any window cleaning, but not just any window cleaning, speed window cleaning and we have two of the fastest in the world. we have terry burrows who can claim the win is a seconds. and this is a world record certificate. to put that in context, if usain bolt had set off his 100 metre run at the same time as terry would have been cleaning windows, terry would have finished first. if that wasn't enough, we also have a new record holder in the family, aliscia this week in manchester set the fastest record by a woman ever for cleaning

windows, in 16.13 seconds. let's find out what it's all about. with a view like this, it's no wonder they want very clean windows. these are not standard competition windows because in a competition it would be three 45 by 45 offices standard windows. they must have a squeegeein standard windows. they must have a squeegee in one hand and abdicate in the other and importantly, if there are any smears or blemishes at the end of the challenge, that's a 0.5 second penalty per smear. you can come to essex later as we put father against daughter to find out who really is the best of the best. thank you. i wonder if it will inspire people to go out and clean their windows. inspire people to go out and clean theirwindows. it's inspire people to go out and clean their windows. it's that time of year. yea r. we year. we are watching and learning and

next time we will have a chat to find out the details. that will be around 9:30am.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. it is 8:32am. the number of people falling victim to cryptocurrency fraud has more than doubled since 2020 — with 10,000 people reporting money being stolen last year. unlike regular, physical money, crypto is digital, and has it becomes more popular criminals are looking to exploit it. dan whitworth, from radio 4's moneybox, has been looking into this for us. dan's here with us now along with crimonologist and fraud specialist, dr elisabeth carter. good morning. let's have a look at what dan has found out so far. cryptocurrency or crypto for short is digital money which means it only exists in the online world with no coins and notes. one of the most well—known is bitcoin. on wednesday it we shall all all—time high worth £57,000. when you spend regular

money on your card, banks must be involved to check you have enough to afford the goods. unlike that, crypto is not backed by financial institutions like the bank of england. they go straight to the recipient. this makes it popularfor people think crypto brings financial freedom. but they are also very volatile, rising and falling in value quickly. there is currently also no regulation and money can be removed anonymously. as it becomes more popular, you can imagine fraudsters will latch onto it. they will absolutely try to find any weakness. an this is bland data, not a survey, reports to action fraud shows that in 2020, around 5000 reports involving crypto had money stolen. on 23, that more than doubled to more than 10,000 reports.

the amount of money being stolen also pretty much doubled, again in 2020, 80 £5 million were stolen by criminals exploiting crypto. in 2023, that more than doubled to £175 million. it is important for all of us to remember that these are just statistics, real people, often horrific cases behind those numbers. i've been speaking to a gentleman called john and his elderly mother was targeted. she clicked on an advert, a fake celebrity endorsement. she had her life savings of £72,000 stolen last year. so she are some of those statistics and john spoke to me about the impact it had on his mum. she was brou:ht impact it had on his mum. she was brought up — impact it had on his mum. she was brought up in _ impact it had on his mum. she was brought up in poverty _ impact it had on his mum. she was brought up in poverty and - impact it had on his mum. she was brought up in poverty and has i impact it had on his mum. she was brought up in poverty and has builtj brought up in poverty and has built a business — brought up in poverty and has built a business and this house and then that was— a business and this house and then that was her life savings basically. and when — that was her life savings basically. and when it went, she just fell

individuals into unregulated spaces. the risk profile is also changing. investing crypto is no longerjust for the rich and techno savvy. you still talk about _ for the rich and techno savvy. you still talk about it _ for the rich and techno savvy. you still talk about it as _ for the rich and techno savvy. you still talk about it as something other people did.— still talk about it as something other people did. yes, the great unknown- _ other people did. yes, the great unknown. but _ other people did. yes, the great unknown. but who _ other people did. yes, the great unknown. but who can _ other people did. yes, the great unknown. but who can really i other people did. yes, the great i unknown. but who can really describe what cryptocurrency is? not many people. but as ubiquitous as everywhere, and social media. and now the return on traditional investments does not keep up with the cost of living and people are moving more into crypto and when people move, so we'll criminals intent on exploiting it. fin people move, so we'll criminals intent on exploiting it._ intent on exploiting it. on that oint she intent on exploiting it. on that point she just _ intent on exploiting it. on that point she just made, - intent on exploiting it. on that point she just made, it's i intent on exploiting it. on that point she just made, it's not . intent on exploiting it. on that - point she just made, it's not about the rich _ point she just made, it's not about the rich or— point she just made, it's not about the rich or niche any more because as crypto _ the rich or niche any more because as crypto becomes more common and becomes_ as crypto becomes more common and becomes a _ as crypto becomes more common and becomes a more credible form of investment to many people's eyes, ford will_ investment to many people's eyes, ford will increase. £57,000 for one bitcoirx _ ford will increase. £57,000 for one bitcoirx if_ ford will increase. £57,000 for one bitcoin. if you are not massively into crypto, _ bitcoin. if you are not massively into crypto, you will still be into

real. so check your family and friends outside that bubble who may fall into that trap. this is a big weekend. you have your maths head on because there are some permutations when it comes to the six nations on the final weekend. so—called super saturday. four sides in the running on the final day of the six nations. ireland are the clear favourites for the title, going into their match against scotland but if they fail to collect a point then england could win it with a bonus point victory in lyon. france and scotland also still technically in the running. two sides that are not, meet in cardiff, wales and italy are hoping to avoid last place and getting the wooden spoon. so still plenty on the line on what is called super saturday. from dublin andy swiss reports: they're preparing for st patrick's day in dublin this weekend but it might not be the only excuse to celebrate.

cheering. ireland's players have been taking everything in their stride as they get ready to face scotland, even training in front of some of their younger fans. coach andy farrell, as always, a man in demand. andy! it's here! they know that after last year's title, another is within their reach. no grand slam this time but still, they say, just as special. it's probably a manner ofjust the irish kind of psyche that, oh, jesus, you know, another championship, do you know what i mean? when all of a sudden a few years ago, you'd have taken your arm or leg off for one, you know what i mean? worse than the same but, you know, it matters a massive amount to us. it's what we're here for. well, the permutations are not exactly straightforward but ireland know if they win or draw here, they will be the champions. in fact, even a narrow defeat will almost certainly be enough.

anything else, though, and we'll be in for a dramatic finale. commentator: ireland hanging on! drop goal attempt from marcus smith! it would mean england could snatch the title if they beat france and after last weekend's thrilling win over ireland, they'll need a similar display to have any hope. we've had a performance. how do we back it up? because last week means nothing if we don't play well, perform well this weekend. doesn't really matter about the result for us. we're about performing well, performing in the england way that we've showed a little bit more of at the weekend. and wales with the attack again. north coming in and north still going! i forwales, meanwhile, it's goodbye to a great. george north's last international and needing to beat italy to dodge the wooden spoon. how they'd love a bit of this. but while for them it's about avoiding last, for others, it's about finishing first. ireland know another trophy is theirs for the taking. andy swiss, bbc news, dublin.

wales vs italy is on bbc one from 1:45pm with coverage of ireland scotland and france against england on bbc radio 5 live thereafter. meanwhile england have won the under—20 six nations title after a 45—31 victory over france. they made it hard for themselves though after going behind early in the game. the half—time team talk abviously worked though — england scored 33 second—half points to win their first title since 2021. as well as the six nations — we've got the quarterfinals of the fa cup this weekend... wolves against coventry is first up before manchester city host newcastle live on bbc one. it's nearly 70 years since newcastle's last major trophy... no such problems for city who are the premier league, fa cup and champions league holders. they could become the first english side to win successive trebles if they defend all three titles this season but manager pep guadiola says he's not thinking about that: arsenal's women's side might have got the feeling

it was going to be one of those nights when they turned up at stamford bridge for their wsl match against chelsea last night with the wrong socks. they eneded up having to buy chelsea away socks from the club shop which delayed kick off by half an hour. and then arsenal ended up losing 3—1, a huge setback to their title hopes. their goalkeeper unable to stop laurenjames's opener here. and nusken got a huge slice of luck to get her second goal of the night. emma hayes' chelsea are three points clear of manchester city at the top of the table for now. it was a fabulous effort from every player to deliver what we needed. we had been depleted, laurenjames up a centre forward today and did a tremendousjob but centre forward today and did a tremendous job but this centre forward today and did a tremendousjob but this is centre forward today and did a tremendous job but this is about the whole team, an amazing effort from everyone. rory mcilroy has a lot of work to do later — he's eight shots off the lead at the half way stage of golf�*s

players championship at tpc sawgrass in florida though things are looking better for matt fitzpatrick. it was a mixed second round for mcilroy — he produced five birdies, but also four bogeys and a double bogey. he played some brilliant recovery shots along the way though as he finished on 6 under. england's matt fitzpatrick has stormed into contention, his round of 69 leaves him 9 under par, and he is five shots off the leader — the us open champion wyndham clark. st helens bounced back from their first super league defeat of the season to beat leeds rhinos at headingley last night. they were trailing at the break but second half tries, including from jon bennison here, saw them get back to winning ways after last week's defeat to salford red devils. 18—8 it finished. they are joint top with the leaders wigan warriors. rhinos are fifth. gloucester have claimed english rugby's first piece of silverware this season by beating leicester tigers to lift the premiership rugby cup. leicester had two players in the sin bin when gloucester

scored their two tries. the second by cam jordan put them beyond tigers reach as they went on to win by 23—13, to win theirfirst trophy since 2015. and the us open champion — coco gauff has been knocked out in the semi finals of indian wells this morning. us open champion coco gauff was knocked out by maria sakkari to set up an indian wells final against world number one iga swiatekhome favourite an indian wells final against world number one iga swiatek. she has been celebrating their 20th birthday this week, no longer a teenager but defeat for her sadly. saturday morning, it's been weather outside. here's helen with a look at the weather. it's in many places this morning but not everywhere. this is up in

lancashire, in the north with some hay fever season close to us. this was the freezing fog earlier in the clear skies but at worst, already the next area of low pressure and cloud forming. already some rain this morning since we've been on air, across cornwall and out of pembrokeshire and across towards cardiff and also across northern ireland and areas of wales. rain and cloud on the way. the sunshine will hold on longest across north and east of scotland, and across eastern england it might fade later in the day because already there are spots of rain as far east as the midlands and given it has been so cold for freezing fog and ice this morning, temperatures won't be as high as

they were yesterday. but pleasant enough and that sunshine. still some fine weather in the north but rain is rushing in through this evening and overnight, more heavy rain pushing across the south—west of england and wales and making its way eastwards through the night. that means with cloud and rain and brisk winds it will be much milder through the coming nights. as we wake up tomorrow, milderfeel but the coming nights. as we wake up tomorrow, milder feel but a the coming nights. as we wake up tomorrow, milderfeel but a grey the coming nights. as we wake up tomorrow, milder feel but a grey and drizzly one because we still have the weather front. fairly heavy rain still forecasting areas where we don't need any more rain so we could see another 15 to 20 millimetres of rain. justly rain on the hills, lingering until possibly lunchtime and a bit more rain coming into western scotland and northern ireland, in between something brighter but not a great deal of sunshine but come rain or shine tomorrow, it will be milder. temperatures above the average by 3

or [i temperatures above the average by 3 or 1! degrees, 16 or 17 degrees with good spells of sunshine. it's a milder south—westerly wind tomorrow. as they push through the week, you see the next slow pressure coming in on monday with fairly strong winds, rain in the south hanging around until tuesday and wednesday so again the prospect of more rainfall on top of already saturated grounds. we must keep an eye on things despite the spring sunshine strengthening. one day isn't too bad, drips and grabs of rain and later in the day for northern ireland. looking at the temperatures, well above where they should be this time of year. and you can feel the strength of the sun and now must skin. rain lingers for a start tomorrow before occasional showers. back to you. more than 75 billion blocks of lego are sold every year but the little plastic blocks are notjust

for the kids it seems. artist nathan sawaya has decided to use them to create large pieces of art and they're now on display at an immersive exhibition in east london. nathan has been telling us what inspired him. i use lego bricks for two reasons. one, i think aesthetically there's something there. i like the distinct lines, the sharp corners on all those rectangular pieces. when you see my work up close, you're going to see all these right angles, these blocks and squares and rectangles, but then you back away from it and all those sharp corners, they blend into curves. and i think that's the magic of using lego bricks. i'm nathan sawaya, and i'm an artist who uses lego bricks. there are no limits to what can be built with this toy. so it's a great as a toy that's also

great as an art medium. for that very same reason, i can use it to create whatever i can imagine. i think lego is one of those unique products that really spans the test of time. and i feel it's a great way to talk to, say, younger kids. how do you talk to a five—year—old about the venus de milo? well, maybe if it's made out of a medium they're familiar with, like lego bricks, it kind of opens the door to that conversation. a life—sized human form is going to take me up to 2 to 3 weeks to complete, and i'm using anywhere from 15 to 25,000 lego bricks. so in this exhibition, there's over 100 works of art, and it really covers the breadth of my career. you'll see some works that are very simplistic from early on, and as you travel through the exhibition, you'll see more works that are more complex. as i grew as an artist. and there's even a dinosaur skeleton that's over 20 feet long,

so there's a lot to see. there's probably something for the whole family. as an artist, i think my role is to inspire others. and so when folks walk through the exhibition, they're inspired to explore their own creativity. so we have a place at the end of the exhibition where kids can dive into some lego bricks and create their own creations. the exhibition will be here for a few months at the boiler house. very excited to see what the people of london think of it. going from remarkable lego to the world's... and this is beautiful, it's beautiful, large and smells. the world's largest and stinkiest flower — the rafflesia, also known as the corpse flower, has intrigued botanists for centuries. found in south—east asia, it has no leaves, stems or roots — meaning it feeds on just jungle vines. but those are being destroyed due to deforestation — meaning the plant is under threat. head of science at oxford botanic garden, dr chris thorogood, is on a mission to save the rafflesia and joins
