good morning to you on sunday, the 17th of— good morning to you on sunday, the 17th of march. our main story: residents in england are to be given more say on whether traffic controlling measures should be used in their area. the restrictions in low—traffic neighbourhoods can include blocking access to some streets and reducing speed limits. so the guidance from the department for transport now means councils will have to show they have support from local people and emergency services before any traffic restrictions can be introduced. let's get more from our political reporter, leila nathoo. low traffic neighbourhoods, or ltns, are designed to reduced residential traffic on roads, and they are loved by some who see quiet streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists and improve air quality but there are others who think roads are being disrupted and schemes poorly imposed. here they are, putting up traffic cameras, and they can't even fix up

a pothole! ministers have now issued draft guidance for councils which, from the summer, will require them to consider whether residents support ltns being brought in. they say leaflet drops, online surveys and in—person meetings should be used to inform and gauge opinion. a review found these traffic management schemes could provide benefits to air quality but highlighted concerns on the impact on disabled people, potential delays to emergency service vehicles, and high numbers of penalty charge notices being generated. residents felt fewer than 20% of people felt they influence decisions over ltns. local authorities have now been warned if they failed to ensure communities are behind schemes, they could see future funding withdrawn. local authorities really do need to get local residential buy—in from residents and businesses — from their inception.

that is the best way to get community to buy—in to any scheme local authorities introducing. it has been mixed across the country but bringing in a standard that says "let's get the community in early, let's really thrusted it out and have good conversations, and deliver a scheme that has got good potential and good results across the communities" — that is the best way to get a good transport scheme in place. councils will separately be told they should only introduce 20 miles an hour limits in specific areas, such as outside schools. the local government association says governments have already consulted on ltns and say ministers are trying to dictate to communities how they use their streets. leila nathoo, bbc news. talking more about this later in the programme with a guestjust after 7:30am. if you have an opinion, get in touch with your thoughts on low traffic neighbourhoods. after three days of voting, today is the final day in russia's presidential voting for the

election?— polling stations in russia will close later, following a third day of voting in the presidential election, as roger says. vladimir putin is all but certain to be in powerfor another six years, as he has no credible opponent. the bbc has been speaking to russian voters about what their concerns are during this election period. graham satchell has this report. in this snowy city 50 miles north of moscow, election officials are going door to door. this is the final day in the russia's presidential election and everyone, including the sick and elderly, will get a chance to vote. inessa rozhkova is 87, and she is worried about the war in ukraine. "i wish this special operation would end," she says, "and it is a pity that people are dying, what a pity. "can you imagine how many people died and now our

"frontline regions are suffering. i am elderly and i'm very worried about this." the war is the main focus of the election. president putin has turned it into a referendum on his handling of the conflict and, in his words, how he has protected russia from what he as fascism in ukraine. "i came to vote for a man who does everything "to ensure there is no war in the world, that our country "lives and prospers and that there is no fascism "in any country — not in ukraine or any other part of the world." there have been occasional sporadic protests, but they're tiny in number. this election, like all in russia, is tightly controlled. we should not even call them elections. it is a song and dance procedure of how putin will become president again. but it is the first time in the wartime — so that is why they need this to show

it's a referendum on putin, on his actions, on his future six years, and that is why they really make it into a giant, giant show of support. later this morning, supporters of the dead opposition leader alexei navalny are planning a protest. but that won't change the outcome because the opponents of vladimir putin are either in exile, injail or dead. graham satchell, bbc news. the defence secretary, grant shapps, had to abandon a trip to the southern ukrainian city of odesa last week, after he was warned moscow had gained knowledge of his travel plans. the sunday times reports that a last—minute intelligence assessment deemed the security risk too great. it follows an incident last week when an raf plane mr shapps was travelling on between the uk and poland had its gps signal jammed while flying close to russian territory. the family of laura nuttall says it "means the absolute world" to them to have a road named after her in her home town of ba rrowford.

laura died from a brain cancer last may, aged just 23. her mum nicola says someone named the road laura nuttall way online and, when they saw it, they asked for it to be made official. she says it's a little road behind a village park, where they spent lots of time together. she would love it but also find it hilarious. she is to come here with herfriend thomas and hilarious. she is to come here with her friend thomas and they would have surreptitious wine in the bus shelters nearby. we had picnics here and she would run up the road as well. it is an area that is really special to us, to be honest. she would love it. and she has a bench in the park, as well, don't feel special to us. we in the park, as well, don't feel special to us.— in the park, as well, don't feel secialto us. ~ ., ., ., ., special to us. we have no idea who made this possible. _ special to us. we have no idea who made this possible. people - special to us. we have no idea who made this possible. people in - special to us. we have no idea who made this possible. people in the i made this possible. people in the family— made this possible. people in the family suspected could been laura! she was— family suspected could been laura! she was very mischievous. that is something she wouldn't have told us about, and then we later found out about. but we are grateful. really grateful.

contactless payments at stores. as frustrated shoppers social media to complain about the board service and cues, the ceo contacted customers by e—mail. simon roberts said he wanted to apologise to everyone affected by the issue. sainsbury�*s says it has now fix the issue and new orders can be delivered from today. tesco, which had unrelated technical problems forcing it to cancel some of its deliveries, has also apologised and it is back to business as usual. but the technical glitches have cast a spotlight on the supermarkets, increasingly popular since the covid pandemic. this increasingly popular since the covid andemic. , , ., , increasingly popular since the covid andemic. , , . , . pandemic. this is what they want. the need pandemic. this is what they want. they need to _ pandemic. this is what they want. they need to be _ pandemic. this is what they want. they need to be resilient. - pandemic. this is what they want. they need to be resilient. the - they need to be resilient. the systems need to set up to problems because they want to serve their customers well, every single day, 365 days a year. it is frustrating

it is a point to remember... his anger at her funeral, raw, after years of intrusion and pain. ..a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age. decades later, there's been a frenzy around the current princess of wales, kate — even around a family photo. but does the rumour and online speculation compare to what diana endured? no, i think it was more dangerous back in the day. the circumstances of her death were so shocking that it did make the industry that supports the paparazzi really consider more carefully what it could and couldn't do. not because they had a moraljudgement, but because it was unacceptable. he's publishing a memoir about appalling, violent and sexual abuse he suffered at boarding school. sent away at the age of eight, he became a victim. innocent family snaps mask the darker secrets of what went on.

he even told me he and his sister were physically hurt by a nanny known as nanny foster, as young children. and their elder sisters were punished with laxatives by a different nanny, too. she used to crack our heads together if we were both found to have done something naughty — obviously, without my father's knowledge. but it really hurt. it wasn't a tap on the wrist. it was a cracking crunch, you know, and i remember it still. but you and diana and your other sisters were then brought up, even in a home environment, where staff, nannies who were hired to look after you, were hurting you. again, i don't think we realised that that was wrong. charles spencer may come from one of the wealthiest families in the land, but privilege is no guarantee of happiness. aristocracy — no protection from abuse. laura kuenssberg, bbc news.

under rat with that cloud we have in the rain, this is yesterday we had low—level fog we have high level of today. yesterday we had a frosty start, today temperatures like belfast 10 degrees higher or more, the introduction of cloud is why. it is really quite wet out there at the moment, the rain, the main rain from scotland and northern island, look at this across england and wales, parts of wales have had 20 millimetres of rain on saturated ground and that will keep pouring this morning, having just driven and across the high ground to the west of london i can assure you it is murky as well, hill fog around, lots of standing water because it has nowhere to go, a dozen groundwater flood warnings out at the moment. the rain drags its heels, once it clears it will take a long time for the misty low fog to clear around the misty low fog to clear around the irish sea coast and southern

scotland, northern scotland doing well with sunshine a few bursts for island and england and wales, this afternoon we will see temperatures lifting higher than those of yesterday, it will feel quite mild even warm in the spring sunshine when it comes out. that wrangler cleared by that stage, further showery rain this evening ross northern island, western scotland and another band through the night, not as mild this coming night as the nightjust gone still frost free because we have quite a bit of that around, misty and murky weather and some patchy rain. a more promising day if you like the sunshine tomorrow, once the band of cloud and if you show clears out of the way, the majority of the mainland fine and dry but more rain coming back into northern island as we go to the afternoon. a mild wind direction so 1416 knots down on today but still above average for this time of year. the rain comes in tomorrow and clears away, and we have got the next pulse of rain on the same

weather front coming northwards, bringing more unwelcome rain because the ground is just so saturated. just showing you what we are likely to see through the coming week, rain building up once again through all parts, you can see 10 — 20 millimetres, and western areas 30 — 40 millimetres of rain is on the cards. when he unsettled looking picture once again, taking the forecast through, you can see tuesday towards the end of the week it stays mild, most parts, the theme as i say with it, and atlantic wind so it is going to be moisture laden. there will be more rain to come. you could do that — there will be more rain to come. you could do that in _ there will be more rain to come. you could do that in a _ there will be more rain to come. gm, could do that in a word, rain, wet. some nice bright weather interspersed. we will speak to you later. it is 618. cash—strapped councils

are having to make some tough choices at the moment and often public toilets are one of the first services to close. businessess in york say it means they're spending thousands of pounds a year maintaining in—store toilets, which are used by everyone — not just their customers. dave edwards reports. brown's department store is a bit of a york institution. it's been for over 100 years. residents and tourists come here for clothes, cosmetic and to use the toilet. we don't want — cosmetic and to use the toilet. - don't want to be unwelcoming to people who want to come to use the facilities, at the same time the usage our toilets get is too much and it causes us a lot of problems. we have to spend more money on cleaning products, toilet roll, myself and my colleagues have to go regularly and unblock toilets and clear up quite unpleasant things in their which is not fair on my

three days, we have to recover and we need everyone, and kevin, come back and jack in best condition because we will need everyone. the first quarter final was a cracker as coventry, the championship side beat premier league wolves 3—2, thanks to two stoppage—time goals. it's the first time they've reached the semis since 1987, and that year, they went on to win the trophy. you can see what it meant to the away fans at molineux. that should give everybody the confidence to kick on for the rest of the season in our league and hopefully we can try and get into the layoffs, some good teams at our level but we have been a really good opponent, a giant and they have done brilliantly this year, gary has done a fantasticjob happy to put in the performance that gets us over the line to go to wembley again stop full time since i have been at the club. well, coventry manager mark robins also apologised post—match. after celebrating his team's winner in front of a ball boy — something the wolves boss gary o'neill called disgusting.

you can't see the ball boy here, but you can see robins' reaction. earlier in the match, the ball boy had dropped a ball at robins' feet when it looked as though wolves had scored a late winner. luton town and nottingham forest shared the points as both sides battle for premier league survival, luton leaving it late again, it looked as though forest were going to get a crucial win at kenilworth road. but luke berry got the equaliser in the 89th minute — 1—1 it finished. luton stay third from bottom, 3 points behind forest and everton. burnley are eight points from safety now after boosting their narrow hopes of survival with a 2—1win over 10—man brentford at turf moor. fofana with the winner. his manager was full of praise for the striker who joined on loan from chelsea injanuary. look, we have had ourfair share of chances missed, we don't get to sulk about it, we have to keep going and he scored one today, could have

now this has to be the best possible way to arrive in istanbul — down the mighty bosphorus. it's this body of water that separates the city but also separates continents. and look at that, that silhouette with the domes, the minarets just popping up above the horizon. that is dolmabahce palace. that's where the founder of the republic, mustafa kemal ataturk, set about the business of transforming turkey. and from the past to the present, this is taksim district, the heart of modern istanbul.

getting an ice cream in turkey seems like a bit of an extreme sport. i mean, it's very... it's for you. she laughs one vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, pistachio. tram bell dings these european—style heritage trams have their roots back in 1871, when they were horse powered and later became electric. i love a tram. that's notjust because i'm from melbourne. something quite nice about the pace of it and also, going right through

the middle of the city. everyone's scarpering out of the way. it's a really nice way to see a new place. thank you. you're welcome. next stop for me, the pera palace hotel, where ataturk often stayed before he took up official residence at the dolmabahce palace. good morning. morning. welcome. my guide sebnem altin is going to show me around the hotel. and here is the room, 101, where ataturk used to say. i mean, the man himself. this room became a museum at the 100th anniversary of ataturk's birthday. they bought things that belonged to him from auction, such as his coffee cups, some of his pictures, as you can see here. and he was known to be a very chic man.

he cared a lot about what he wears. so here... sharp dresser. 0h, he was sharp dresser. mustafa kemal ataturk is the founder of republic of turkey and he is the man who gave independence to turkish people. he managed to not only defeat the occupying powers, but also the occupying greek forces. and he is still the hero of people who value democracy, independence, science, secularism. ataturk can be considered a controversial figure by some people. yes. tell me a bit about that complex legacy. when he abolished the caliphate, for some people, this was him going towards a path that wasn't as religious. and we had the exchange of populations between greece and turkey. what does the 100th anniversary mean to you? he said, one day my body will be just earth, but this republic of yours will continue forever.

and seeing the 100 year makes me so happy, _ and seeing the 100 year makes me so happy, because it means he was successful~ _ and now i'm off to shop in an incredible venue that was around a long, long time before ataturk. this is the grand bazaar, the mother of all shopping malls. it dates back to the 15th century. and there's a really good reason why it was built here in istanbul, because this was the centre of the ottoman empire. so you had spices and almost everything else from over three continents coming right here. she laughs i mean, these guys in some cases have been here for years and years and they've really got the gift of the gab. they know how to get you through their door. this might be a bit difficult to pack in my bag.

ship horn blares galata bridge has long been viewed as the link between the old city of istanbul and its modern districts. it's a glorious, sunny day, so it's not surprising to find people on the bridge fishing. and local fisherman mehmet is going to show me how it's done. all right. shall we? so now we go again. i hold, hold here. oh, no drops. ah, there we go. yes. whoa! oh, we've got something! we've got something! go, mehmet. yes! we've done well. they both laugh oh, no. come back, come back. istanbul is a city that really wears its influences on its sleeve. you see this amazing diversity. you've got the ottoman mosques,

you've got the modern buildings. all of this comes together to really tell the story of the city. although istanbul is a big tourist destination, most people head to turkey for a week or two of sun, sea and sand, so i'm off tojoin them. hello from alanya on turkey's turquoise coast. and what better place to start than with this? tourism in turkey has boomed in recent years, turning it into one of the top ten most visited countries in the world. oh, i love a cable car. this region is home to some

of the most beautiful coastline where you can swim and sunbathe from spring all the way to mid—october. this is cleopatra beach, named after the legendary egyptian queen. and legend has it that she herself used to bathe in these waters. so who am i to argue? a cave is a kind of unusual place to be meeting a doctor. but i promise there's a reason. hello. i'm christa. it's nice to meet you. thank you so much. this is the damlatas cave. tourism here steadily grew as people

came to hear about the alleged healing powers of the damlatas cave. and dr mehmet cam has agreed to show me around. look at this. and so humid immediately. only 95. 95% humidity. yes, humidity. oh, my goodness. yeah, you can feel. it's like walking into a bath. 22 degrees all the year, the same humidity and same temperature. what is it about the atmosphere that helps these patients?

is this treatment considered quite radical? i think it's right for people to be sceptical about alternative therapies, that makes sense. it was quite compelling to hear the stories of the people down

there, and i must say... ..i do feel quite refreshed. eight hours east of alanya is the ninth biggest city in turkey, famous for its copper work and culinary prowess. welcome to gaziantep, known as antep to the locals. this city in south central turkey is off the well—worn turkey tourist trail. but at first impressions — really shouldn't be. in the middle ages, this city was an important stronghold, and it changed hands between a variety of different dynasties before eventually being absorbed into the ottoman empire in the early 16th century. gaziantep was 23 miles from the epicentre of the horrendous earthquake that devastated parts of turkey and nearby syria

in february, and it was affected. and you can see here this watchtower that was built during the roman era has partially collapsed and it's already under restoration. luckily, though, this place survived. it's one of the oldest known ottoman coffeehouses dating back to 1635, unbelievably. and i'm told these days it's the place to come and soak up some local atmosphere and try some of the best coffee in town. the owner mehmet is going to show me how they prepare their prized coffees. merhaba. she laughs the coffee is first

boiled in a turkish coffee pot called a cezve. ah, 0k. and then it gets a little hat. oh, thank you. that's amazing. that's perfect. shall i have a little...? i'll have a little taste. i think i should. oh, that is delicious. oh, the master. perfect. thank you very much. so what makes this coffee different? 0h, 0k. so this is, this is kind of the ottoman blend. there's a real complexity to the flavour. this is delicious. it's said coffee arrived in turkey from yemen with travelling merchants back in the 16th century. due to its stimulating effect, it was forbidden in 1511 by conservative imams, but the ban was lifted 13 years later.

band plays jaunty local tune now, i also really wanted to try a pistachio coffee. oh, this is my favourite. oh—oh—oh! that is delicious. there is a more famous use of pistachios in turkey aside from the pistachio coffee. and that is, of course, the traditional sweet and sticky dessert — ba klava. but it's gaziantep that's become known for its pistachio baklava, the most famous baklava in turkey. so i'm on my way to a pistachio farm because, guess what? it's harvesting season. she laughs

so hang on, these are pistachios? these ones here? pistachios are supposed to be green. shall we? down the hatch. oh, it's very subtle, isn't it? tractor engine rumbles distant chatting and laughter the exact

origin of baklava is disputed. shared international histories are reflected in its recipes, with each providing a local flair to an ancient dessert. but it was the baklava from gaziantep that was given protected status in 2014 by the european commission. this is quite a reward for all my hard work. all of this baklava contains pistachios and looks so delicious. oh, my goodness. look at this. it's gooey. 0h! 0h... mm. oh, it's so good. she giggles i was only going to have one or maybe two, but i'm not going to stop. the pistachios are falling out of this one. i'm in heaven, absolutely...

this could be the best day of my life. i came to turkey knowing i loved istanbul, but gaziantep has unexpectedly completely stolen my heart. i mean, it's known for pistachios, coffee and baklava. what's not to love? if you want my travel tip, come here in august, september, when the pistachios are at their freshest and tastiest. i'm on my way to mount nemrut, one of the highest peaks in the eastern side of the taurus mountains. and tomorrow morning, i'm going to strap on my hiking boots and trek up to the summit to discover a different side of turkish history, far more ancient than the ottoman empire.

she whispers: morning. it's 3:36 am. and it feels like it. the footing isn't difficult because we've got this beautiful, modern, paved path. but it follows the ceremonial route used by people climbing this mountain back to the first century bc under the stars. i'm meant to be meeting my guide up here. hello, christa. how are you? i'm very well. is this the summit up here? are we nearly there? yes, we are almost there. amazing. let's go.

dr emine yesim bedlek has been guiding tourists around turkey's archaeological sites for years. and she's the perfect person to show me around this mountain. who are these guys? these are actual gods and also a goddess symbolising the kingdom and the fertility of the kingdom. and also king antiochus i. ok. i need to ask you more about him. yes. i want to know, though, where are their heads? their heads are down because of the natural disasters. so no—one came and... no—one. 0k. well, that's good! so tell me about mount nemrut. what do i need to know? two archaeologists arrive here, karl sester and otto puchstein in 1881. and when they first arrived here, they were shocked because they were expecting

to see assyrian monuments. and then they realised that actually there is something very different and actually greek and persian cultures are uniting in mount nemrut. wow. so creating something unique? yeah, something unique. this religious sanctuary shows the greek gods zeus and apollo and hercules the hero with greek faces but persian clothing and hairstyling. alongside these composite deities is antiochus i, the king of the commagene empire. it's a small empire. it survived for 234 years on the western part of the euphrates river. during his reign, the kingdom was very, very rich, so he was the most powerful. they have the golden age. king antiochus i wanted to show his richness and his power. so he's like a godlike figure.

so this whole thing is really a statement of power. yeah, a statement of power. he wanted to be unforgettable, you know? aha. yes. well, i mean, we're not forgetting him today. yes. and luckily, his head survived as well. why did they need to merge greek and persian cultures? king antiochus, his mother was a greek and his father was a persian. 0k. and also this kingdom was a small kingdom in between two great powers — persia in the east and roman empire, actually, in the west. that's why they try to, you know, have a balance in political affairs. isn't that fascinating? because, of course, we're coming up to the 100th anniversary of the turkish republic, where ataturk famously brought people together and forged this sense of turkish identity. it seems like this has been a pattern going back an awfully long way.

yes. actually he unified this multi—ethnic country because it was a microcosm of ottoman empire. and he said that whoever feels turk, you know, and will be a turk, you know. i've been travelling around this country trying to understand the significance of this 100th anniversary of the turkish republic. but what i've come to see is that while it's an important milestone, this past century is just a blink of an eye in the long and incredibly rich history of this land.

hello, good morning, and welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: a new volcanic eruption in iceland — homes are evacuated and a state of emergency is declared. more say for local residents on traffic control measures — councils are told that they must consult with communities before they tighten restrictions for motorists. good morning. the celebrations will continue on st patrick's day for ireland as they retain their six nations title after beating scotland in dublin. following announcements of more bank closures, we look at what communities are doing to tackle the loss of facilities.

are designed to reduced residential traffic on roads, and they are loved by some who see quiet streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists and improve air quality but there are others who think roads are being disrupted and schemes poorly imposed. here they are, putting up traffic cameras, and they can't even fix up a pothole! ministers have now issued draft guidance for councils which, from the summer, will require them to consider whether residents support ltns being brought in. they say leaflet drops, online surveys and in—person meetings should be used to inform and gauge opinion. a review found these traffic management schemes could provide benefits to air quality but highlighted concerns on the impact on disabled people, potential delays to emergency service vehicles, and high numbers of penalty charge notices being generated. residents felt fewer than 20% of people felt they influence decisions over ltns.

local authorities have now been warned if they failed to ensure communities are behind schemes, they could see future funding withdrawn. local authorities really do need to get local residential buy—in from residents and businesses — from their inception. that is the best way to get community to buy—in to any scheme local authorities introducing. it has been mixed across the country but bringing in a standard that says "let's get the community in early, let's really thrusted it out and have good conversations, and deliver a scheme that has got good potential and good results across the communities" — that is the best way to get a good transport scheme in place. councils will separately be told they should only introduce 20 mile an hour limits in specific areas, such as outside schools. the local government association said councils already

consulted on ltns and say ministers are trying to dictate to communities how they use their streets. leila nathoo, bbc news. polling stations in russia will close later, following a third day of voting in the presidential election. vladimir putin is all but certain to be in powerfor another six years, as he has no credible opponent. supporters of the late opposition leader, alexei navalny, have urged people to take part in a symbolic protest. our russia editor, steve rosenberg, joins us from moscow.— joins us from moscow. hello, steve. the result in — joins us from moscow. hello, steve. the result in no _ joins us from moscow. hello, steve. the result in no doubt, _ joins us from moscow. hello, steve. the result in no doubt, but- joins us from moscow. hello, steve. the result in no doubt, but could i joins us from moscow. hello, steve. the result in no doubt, but could it. the result in no doubt, but could it be that the people who don't support vladimir putin could take a risk in answering the call to protest? it’s answering the call to protest? it's ossible. answering the call to protest? it�*s possible. this is an idea that was proposed by russian opposition figures abroad, in exile. it was supported by opposition leader alexei navalny shortly before his death in a penal colony, and has

been supported by his wife, yulia. they are calling for people to come out in large numbers at midday, local time, out in large numbers at midday, localtime, but out in large numbers at midday, local time, but for out in large numbers at midday, localtime, but foranyone out in large numbers at midday, local time, but for anyone other than vladimir putin, or spoil their ballots. they hope that if large numbers come out it will undermine the official results, which is expected to be a landslide for putin. it is unclear how successful it will be. here in the russian capital, the government has said large numbers of people at polling stations at midday will be considered an unauthorised mass public event. it is not sure how that will work.— public event. it is not sure how that will work. ukraine is accused of disrupting _ that will work. ukraine is accused of disrupting their _ that will work. ukraine is accused of disrupting their elections i that will work. ukraine is accused of disrupting their elections with | of disrupting their elections with airstrikes. iterate of disrupting their elections with airstrikes. ~ ., , of disrupting their elections with airstrikes. ~ . , ., ., of disrupting their elections with airstrikes. . , ., ., ., airstrikes. we have seen a lot of that. overnight, _ airstrikes. we have seen a lot of that. overnight, according i airstrikes. we have seen a lot of that. overnight, according to i airstrikes. we have seen a lot of| that. overnight, according to the russian defence industry, i think about 35 ukrainian drones, the

defence ministry says, was shot down over various regions, including for over various regions, including for over the moscow area. a short while ago the defence industry also said nine missiles had been fired at the belgorod region, a russian region close to the ukrainian border. a couple of days ago, vladimir putin held a meeting of the russian security council on this very subject, and he vowed that mme strikes would not go unpunished. steve, good to talk to you. our russia editor, steve rosenberg, there in moscow. the family of laura nuttall says it means the absolute world to them to have a road named after her in her home town of ba rrowford. laura died from a brain cancer last may, aged just 23. her mum nicola says someone named the road laura nuttall way online and when they saw it they asked for it to be made official. she says it's a little road

behind a village park, where they spent lots of time together. she would love it, but she would also find it hilarious. she used to come here with her friend thomas and they'd have a surreptitious wine in the bus shelters nearby. we had picnics here, and she would run up the road as well. it is an area that is really special to us, to be honest. she would love it. and she has a bench in the park, as well, so it feels special to us. we have no idea who made this possible. people in the family suspect it could been laura! she was very mischievous. that is something she wouldn't have told us about, and then we later found out about. but we are grateful. really grateful. so if anybody's out there, get in touch! thousands of drivers continue to be affected by the closure of a five—mile section of the m25. diversions around the roadworks in surrey are in place until 6am tomorrow and motorists have been told they should only use the m25 if theirjourney is absolutely necessary.

this is the first time there has been a scheduled daytime shutdown of all lanes on the m25 since it opened in 1986. the defence secretary, grant shapps, had to abandon a trip to the southern ukrainian city of odesa, after he was warned that moscow had gained knowledge of his travel plans. the sunday times said a last minute intelligence assessment deemed the security risk too great. well, let's speak to our political correspondent, helen catt. helen, what do we know about what happened? as with all intelligence and security issues, we don't have a huge amount of detail, but we do know a few things. earlier in the week, it emerged that when the defence secretary was flying between the uk and poland, he had his gps signal, the plain's gps signal jammed, close to germany. he has beenin jammed, close to germany. he has been in ukraine this week and there

had been a trip to odesa, the port city, planned, but that was pulled. the ministry of defence has confirmed that was for security reasons. that was because there was an intelligence assessment that suggested that russia had learnt of the plans. the paper says grant shapps was already on high alert when he arrived in ukraine because there had been a near miss shortly before what a russian strike narrowly missed the greek prime minister and president zelensky in odesa. grant shapps has told the sunday times that the impudent had shown himself to be reckless, ruthless, and careless, and said he hoped his visit would act as a wake—up call to push, persuade, and even embarrass the rest of the world into action. helen, thank you. sainsbury's has apologised to its customers after most online grocery deliveries could not be fulfilled, yesterday, due to technical issues. the supermarket said an overnight software update was to blame,

but that the issues had been resolved. our reporter aina aslam has the latest. millions of people order groceries online, and rely on them arriving at their doors on time. but many were left disappointed, yesterday, when sainsbury's couldn't deliver most of its orders. the company blamed a software update that also affected contactless payments at stores. as frustrated shoppers took to social media to complain about the poor service and long queues, the ceo contacted customers by e—mail. simon roberts said he wanted to apologise to everyone affected by the issue. sainsbury's says it's now fixed the issue and new orders can be delivered from today. tesco, which had unrelated technical problems that forced it to cancel some of its deliveries, has also apologised,

and it's back to business as usual. but the technical glitches have cast a spotlight on the resilience of online supermarkets, increasingly popular since the covid pandemic. this is not what they want. they need to be resilient. the systems need to set up for problems because they want to serve their customers well, every single day, 365 days a year. so it's frustrating for the businesses, it's frustrating for the customers. but i think of the world where technology is such a big part of our lives, it is something we will have to get used to. when things go wrong, they will go wrong fairly quickly, with fairly big consequences. some experts have criticised sainsbury's for not properly testing the update before implementing it. aina aslam, bbc news. we will talk to a technology expert later, because it isn'tjust sainsbury's, tesco, mcdonald's have had issues. when it goes wrong, what happens to your delivery?—

hu . e, their local branch closes? it is huge. as _ their local branch closes? it is huge. as your _ their local branch closes? it is huge, as your report - their local branch closes? it 3 huge, as your report has said, more and more of us have gone online, bank branches have closed but the reality is there are five and 8 million people who really depend on face—to—face banking and cash. that's for a variety of reasons we think about the old but as your segment showed it as small businesses, they can't take cash unless they can bank cash, it is also people on low incomes who need to budget, cash is a really effective way of budgeting and you can't get out less than £20 from most atms you can get out £7 25 that is all you have over the counter. so these services are really important. the banks are doing, they clearly have a strategy and it is obvious what it is. presumably all about profits and minimising the cost of having the bricks and mortar branches on high streets. and it's totally understandable that some people really do rely on the branch, so what is the solution here? the

the introduction of low traffic neighbourhoods can be controversial. this cctv footage shows people removing and driving over the bollards. now the government says councils in england need to show that local people support traffic controlling measures before they can be introduced. we can understand why some residents and drivers— we can understand why some residents and drivers have been frustrated with ltns, but i think the reality is the _ with ltns, but i think the reality is the reasons they were put in place _ is the reasons they were put in place wasn't truly explained to them and they— place wasn't truly explained to them and they felt that they weren't part of the _ and they felt that they weren't part of the consultation process. this weight— of the consultation process. this weight is— of the consultation process. this weight is so important to get communities and residents on board early and _ communities and residents on board early and say "we are having this idea, _ early and say "we are having this idea, we — early and say "we are having this idea, we want to see what you think about— idea, we want to see what you think about it. _ idea, we want to see what you think about it, what do you think would work, _ about it, what do you think would work. what — about it, what do you think would work, what won't work, if we are to implement— work, what won't work, if we are to implement it, what changes could we make? _ implement it, what changes could we make?

reports _ commentator: six nations champions for the second year running. _ for ireland, it's becoming a gloriously familiar sight. champions once more — but by goodness, they had to work for it. it was a day of high tension and also high emotion. the hosts knew a win would clinch the title. scottish line out. and when scotland obligingly threw the ball straight to dan sheehan. the irish hooker opens the home side's account in dublin. they seemed on their way. but ireland lead byjust a point at the break, and as the errors grew, so did the worried faces. when andrew porter eventually crashed over, dublin breathed a collective sigh of relief. over the line. this time there they are. but scotland weren't done with minutes left, huthones set up a nerve—jangling finale. there is a step and there's huthones for scotland. but it was too little, too late, ireland clung on for the second

year in a row, the six nations champions. to be in a position to win a championship is pretty special, and life's all about memories, isn't it? and stuff like this is what dreams are made of. and so for ireland's players, another night of six nations celebration. once again, the trophy and the title are in their hands. behind them, the runners—up spot went to france after they beat england in thrilling fashion. england looked to have snatched it as tommy freeman's try and george ford's nerveless conversion edged them ahead. but with just a minute left, a penalty from ramos at the halfway line and guess what? a 33—31 win for france, for england after some dazzling rugby, an ultimately disappointing finish. not nearly as disappointing, though, as for wales. they ended with a first wooden spoon for 21 years, as italy proved far too good.

lorenzo panne with the pick of their tries on a grim day for the hosts. the retiring george north had to be helped from the field and afterwards the coach warren gatland offered his resignation. it was rejected but he knows the rebuild will not be easy. andy swiss, bbc news. celebrations continuing long into last night. these back to back six nations titles being enjoyed to the full. this was the team afterwards, suited and booted, with the trophy and a guinness in hand. the song of choice? robbie williams' angels. all sing robbie williams' angels they are good, aren't they? they are

great. a great rendition. they might well be still singing that now. from consecutive six nations titles for ireland to manchester city, who are trying to make it back to back treble—winning seasons. they are the first team in fa cup history to reach the semi finals six years in a row after beating newcastle 2—0 at the etihad — bernando silva scoring twice in the first half. they're just a point off the top in the premier league and have a champions league quarter final to come but, as you'd expect, pep guardiola says he's not thinking too far ahead about trebles. three days, three days. we are at crystal palace, we have madrid, three days, three days, three days, we have to recover and we need everyone, erling and kevin, come back and jack in best condition, because we will need everyone. the first quarter final was a cracker as coventry, the championship side, beat premier league wolves 3—2 — thanks to two stoppage time goals. it's the first time they've reached the semis since 1987,

and that year they went on to win the trophy. you can see what it meant to the away fans at molineux. that should give everybody the confidence to kick on for the rest of the season in our league and hopefully we can try and get into the playoffs. some good teams at our level, but we have just beaten a really good opponent — they're a giant, and they have done brilliantly this year, gary has done a fantasticjob — we have to put in the performance that gets us over the line to go to wembley again. fourth time since i've been at the club. well, coventry manager mark robins also apologised post match after celebrating his team's winner in front of a ball boy, something the wolves boss gary o'neill called disgusting. you can't see the ball boy here, but you can see robins' reaction. earlier in the match, the ball boy had dropped a ball at robins' feet when it looked as though wolves had scored a late winner. luton town and nottingham forest shared the points as both

sides battle for premier league survival. luton leaving it late again, it looked as though forest were going to get a crucial win at kenilworth road but luke berry got the equaliser in the 89th minute — 1—1, it finished. luton stay third from bottom, three points behind forest and everton. burnley are eight points from safety after a 2—1win over brentford whilst spurs missed the chance to go fourth following a 3—0 defeat at fulham. rory mcilroy is eight shots off the lead going into today's final round at the players championship at tpc sawgrass in florida. england's matt fitzpatrick is far better—placed — he's on 13—under par, four shots behind the leader xander schauffele. it's likely to be a home favourite who wins the tournament in florida — fitzpatrick is the only non—american in the top nine. it's still early days in rugby league's super league, but catalans dragons are continuing to keep pace with those at the top. they moved joint level on points leaders wigan after a convincing victory over castleford tigers, winning 40 points to 14. defeat leaves castleford bottom of the table, with five defeats from five matches. elsewhere, there were wins

for leigh leopards and hull kr. with the paris olympics not too far away, things are looking good for welsh cyclist emma finucane. she's the reigning world champion in the individual sprint and this weekend, she's won two more gold medals at the track nations cup in hong kong — helping great britain win the team sprint on friday and taking the individual sprint yesterday, getting the better of mathilde gros of france. and, finally, they call chicago the windy city — the goalkeeper of cf montreal will need no reminder of that. this is what chicago fire did in the 99th minute of their match against montreal in major league soccer. kellyn acosta's long ball ending up in the net. they were 3—1 down in the 82nd minute, it was 3 all when this went in to win the game for chicago fire. some debate about whether it was the wind or not but a goal it was, 4—3 the final score. it was not quite david beckham from

you eight o'clock. now it's time for click. jfk: we choose to go to the moon i in this decade and do the other i things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. - neil armstrong: it's one small step for man... - ..one giant leap for mankind. 52 years ago, we laid our last footprint on the moon. as the crew of apollo 17 left the surface, they didn't know that gene cernan would be the last person to walk

on another world for quite a while. we're on our way, houston. but now, in this decade, finally... ..we�*re going back. and liftoff of artemis 1. nasa's artemis programme will, in the next year or two, return us to our neighbour. part of its mission — to land the first woman and the first person of colour on the moon. another part — to use what we learn here to send the first astronauts to mars. this is where it all began, florida's kennedy space center, named after the president who made the original pledge to go to the moon. and now this place is at the centre

of even grander plans, because this time we're not just visiting the moon — we want to stay. this is gateway, humanity's first space station that will orbit another world. it will go round the moon every seven days. and, like the international space station above earth, astronauts will call this place home. although, where the iss can accommodate up to 12 astronauts and is comparable to a five— or six—bedroom house, gateway will be...more cosy. gateway is a studio apartment. it's... we're going to have room for our four astronauts, multiple docking ports, so we can bring our orion crew transportation ship, we can bring logistics, and we can dock a lander. these four explorers won't all be cooped up on board for the whole time, though. two will actually be spending a week

or two on location — down on the lunar surface. it's a chance to further study the landscape and hopefully find a location for our next giant leap — a permanent moon base. gateway will be there before we put a habitat on the surface. gateway allows us to access any point on the lunar surface. when we went with apollo, we had to pick that spot on the moon and go to it. gateway will give us the opportunity to go down at different locations. the first section of gateway could be launched as early as 2025, with new modules then being added from 2027. a lunar base is admittedly further out and it comes with risk, but also reward. so how do we make that a reality? to find out, it's time for me to take one small step of my own. oh, wow. i can instantly see the dust

kind of kicking up. yeah. it's really fine, isn't it? it leaves the footprints like you'd expect. oh, my gosh. that's brilliant. and this is how moon dust behaves, itjust puffs up like that? it does, yeah. it's so fine. welcome to swamp works... ..the dusty, dirty lab where they work with simulated moon dust. now, the loose soil that covers the lunar surface is called regolith. it's extremely fine, very sharp on a microscopic scale, and it gets everywhere. so when we landed with apollo 11, we didn't know what the surface of the moon exactly was going to be like. you'll notice from some of the footage, the landing pads are quite huge on the landing legs and the ladder�*s far away from the surface. there was a lot of concern of, how much will this lander sink into the surface? how fluffy is this regolith? the surface is fine and powdery. i can...| can pick it up loosely with my toe.

in fact, it's because the eagle lander didn't sink in as much as expected that neil armstrong had to take such a giant leap from the bottom rung of the ladder. today, swamp works is developing robots that can cope with and take advantage of lunar soil. and it will be very useful. see, moon dust is made of materials like silicon dioxide and calcium oxide, which all contain a lot of oxygen. if we could mine the regolith and use chemical processes to extract the oxygen, we could make our own breathable air and our own rocket fuel. the way space flight exploration has been working right now is imagine you're going on a holiday with yourfamily, you're going on a long road trip, thousands of miles, right? right now, we are bringing a trailer behind us with all the gas, you know, that we need with us, all the fuel, everything that we need comes with us.

so we want to change that paradigm. we want to... and one of the biggest things that makes the biggest impact is the fuel, right? if we can source some of that from the moon and eventually from mars, that will allow us to bring more and to go more often. making our own fuel makes regular trips to and from the gateway space station much more viable. now, mining moon dust is called isru... and, because they love an acronym round these parts, the robot to do this will be called the isru pilot excavator, ipex. we had to really reinvent how you do excavation for doing mining on the moon, and eventually mars. the challenge is the technology we have for mining here on earth relies on a lot of mass and a lot of weight, right? the more steel you put on an excavator, the heavier it becomes and the better it digs. we can't launch something as heavy as we want on a rocket.

it's still very expensive, right? so we have to reduce the mass of what we put on rockets. and then when you land it on the moon, it weighs one sixth of what it does here on earth, right? imagine, like, trying to dig as if you were on ice, right? it will just scoot across the surface. the scoop will not engage and you won't be able to collect anything. so the way the robot scoops up the dust is using this thing called a bucket drum. and it's got a kind of spiral in there. and if it turns it one way, it scoops the soil, which gradually works its way towards the middle and stays there. like that. and then when it wants to unload... ..it turns it the other way and it all comes out again. we put them on opposite ends of the robot and when it excavates, it's using both sets of drums at the same time, but they're digging in opposite directions. so one is pulling it that way and one is pulling it that way... right. ..and pulling itself down to the surface. yeah. one of the main dangers faced by extraterrestrial rovers is getting stuck.

so, as an added bonus, ipex's scoops and arms can also help it to get out of a hole or flip it over if it takes a tumble. one of its other defences will keep its cameras free from all that electrostatic dust, which will cling to every part of it. now, just like the fuel situation, we can't take building materials with us to the moon either — we have to make our structures from moon dust. these bricks and blocks and bars have all been made by mixing and melting regolith with plastic. in the future, giant sd printers will build shelters to protect those living on a world with no atmosphere from radiation, asteroid and micrometeoroid impacts, moonquakes and temperatures ranging from +100 to —200 degrees celsius. even replacement parts can be made from regolith. so this is a wheel that has been printed with regolith and polymer.

0k. this is another example of what we can do if we capture the resources from the moon. now, do you know, i've seen and held wheels for rovers before, full—size wheels, and they're really light. right. but this is really heavy. yes, this is the opposite. because those wheels that are light, especially if you're sending it on a rocket, they need to be light because it's expensive. this is heavy because it's made on the moon. and heavy wheels are a good thing, i guess. it's better, right? especially for a digger. like the more weight that we have on the excavator, the better it's going to perform. would you believe you can even make rope out of regolith? this is made from basalt glass — really, really thin fibres, a bit like optic fibre. so you could even make rope out of moon dust. these are hopeful times for space exploration, but it's always been a risky endeavour. im—1 odysseus — lunar lander separation confirmed. this year, we've seen three probes sent to the moon. two made it, and both of those had, shall we say, awkward landings. and the artemis mission to put boots

back on the lunar ground has been pushed back to 2026 at the earliest. but nasa says space explorers need to take these setbacks in their stride. i don't see it as a disappointment. it's very cliche to say space is hard, but what we're endeavouring to do is highly complex. we expect challenges along the way so this doesn't surprise us and we're pushing forward. it sounds really expensive to do space exploration. is it, and is it worth it? so, yes, it's really expensive. it was really expensive for us to explore this planet, really expensive to lay rail infrastructure, to lay highway infrastructure, to put the infrastructure in place that allows us to travel in air traffic around this globe. it's absolutely necessary for us to lay that critical infrastructure for going to space, because what we learn in that endeavour is tremendous. the exponential growth that we've seen in the world in technology

is because of great endeavours like this. it's absolutely worth it. here in the united states, every year the general population is spending as much money on potato chips as our budget is every year to go out to the moon. that's a good figure. this has been a fascinating trip. the motivation may be different to that of the space race of the 1960s, but the size of the ambition is just as great today, as we shoot for the moon once again.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and rogerjohnson. our headlines today... a new volcanic eruption in iceland — homes are evacuated and a state of emergency is declared. more say for local residents on traffic control measures — councils are told they must consult with communities before they tighten restrictions for motorists. on the final day of voting in russia's presidential election, critics of the kremlin call for mass protests at polling stations. the celebrations will continue on st patrick's day for ireland as they retain their six nations title after beating scotland in dublin. the chain reaction caused by closing public toilets — businesses say they're having to pick up the cost of providing alternative facilities. it isa

it is a murky and wet start to sunday. i will have the rest of the weather's prospects later. it's sunday, 17th march. our main story... a state of emergency has been declared in southern iceland following another volcanic eruption. this latest flare—up is the fourth since december and potentialy the most powerful so far. residents of the town of grindavik have been asked to leave the area. the nearby blue lagoon, one of the country's most popular tourist attractions, has also been evacuated. sean dilley reports. it is a breath—taking sight. this is what two miles of lava looks like, spewing from the eruptions transforming the night sky at the reykjanes peninsula. a state of emergency has been declared in southern iceland after the fourth eruption in recent months.

in the nearby town of grindavik, residents were only allowed to return last month, but have been told to leave again. i have never experienced anything like that before. i wasn't scared or anything. ijust hope everyone got out 0k. but it was an experience that i don't like, but, at the same time, wow, i couldn't wait to come here. one of the country's most popular tourist attractions, the nearby blue lagoon, has been evacuated, too. the icelandic meteorological office said the eruption started just after 8pm last night, less than 30 miles from the capital of reykjavik. this was expected. there have been several statements issued from the icelandic met office about an imminent

eruption in the area. but, of course, the exact time of it starting is not — it's not possible to predict. but the first cues of this moving towards the surface actually only happens about 15 minutes in advance of the eruption breaking to the surface. but it was definitely expected. it is the seventh eruption since 2021, and it is believed the area is entering another volcanic era, which could last decades, if not centuries. they are spectacular pictures. we will speak more on that with a volcano expert. sarah has the rest of the news. residents in england are to be given more say on whether traffic controlling measures,

including blocking access to some streets and reducing speed limits, should be used in their area. the guidance from the department for transport means councils need support from local people before introducing the changes. our political reporter leila nathoo has more. low traffic neighbourhoods, or ltns, are designed to reduced residential traffic on roads, and they are loved by some who see quiet streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists and improve air quality but there are others who think roads are being disrupted and schemes poorly imposed. here they are, putting up traffic cameras, and they can't even fix up a pothole! ministers have now issued draft guidance for councils which, from the summer, will require them to consider whether residents support ltns being brought in. they say leaflet drops, online surveys and in—person meetings should be used to inform and gauge opinion. a review found these traffic management schemes could provide benefits to air quality but highlighted concerns

on the impact on disabled people, potential delays to emergency service vehicles, and high numbers of penalty charge notices being generated. a survey suggested fewer than 20% of residents felt they influence decisions over ltns. local authorities have now been warned if they failed to ensure communities are behind schemes, they could see future funding withdrawn. local authorities really do need to get local residential buy—in from residents and businesses — from their inception. that is the best way to get community to buy—in to any scheme local authorities introducing. it has been mixed across the country but bringing in a standard that says "let's get the community in early, let's really thrash it out, have good conversations, and deliver a scheme that has got good potential and good results across the communities" — that's the best way to get a good transport scheme in place. councils will separately be told they should only introduce 20 mile

an hour limits in specific areas, such as outside schools. the local government association said councils already consulted on ltns and say ministers are trying to dictate to communities how they use their streets. leila nathoo, bbc news. polling stations in russia will close later, following a third day of voting in the presidential election. vladimir putin is all but certain to be in powerfor another six years, as he has no credible opponent. our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford joins us from kyiv. sarah, what more can you tell us? how is the russian election being viewed there? this how is the russian election being viewed there?— how is the russian election being viewed there? this is an election, i cuess ou viewed there? this is an election, i guess you could — viewed there? this is an election, i guess you could say, _ viewed there? this is an election, i guess you could say, which - viewed there? this is an election, i guess you could say, which for- guess you could say, which for ukraine will return vladimir putin to powerfor ukraine will return vladimir putin to power for another ukraine will return vladimir putin to powerfor another six ukraine will return vladimir putin to power for another six years, which means more war and missile

strikes. we've seen an intensification of attacks from both sides whilst the selection has been taken place. overnight, russia fired missiles and drones as ukraine, ukraine use some 35 drones against russia against targets in moscow and the south of the country. intense attacks. russia has accused ukraine of trying to disrupt the election, ukraine says it is defending itself against an invasion two years old. as president putin has moved towards this real action, he's been campaigning about using the war as part of his campaign, and he certainly wants a massive vote of support at the election for continuing his war. as part of it, the voter is taken weighs on occupied territory in ukraine, which ukraine says illegal. we've been talking to activists on the ground, who was saying was russia is talking

about a high turnout and claiming huge support for russia's annexation of those areas, the activists are saying basically people will not vote and they are washing their passport in the washing machine so they can't be forced to take part in a vote they see as illegitimate. axa resistance taken place in occupied territories of ukraine, as russia tries to portray those areas as supportive of moscow, they are claiming voting for vladimir putin in huge numbers. thousands of drivers continue to be affected by the closure of a five—mile section of the m25. diversions around the roadworks in surrey are in place until 6am tomorrow and motorists have been told they should only use the m25 if theirjourney is absolutely necessary. that is it on bbc one for the moment. we arejoining over on bbc

two. thank you for watching and have a lovely sunday.

it is sunday morning, good morning if you arejustjoining us on bbc two. if you were with us on bbc one and followed us over, thank you, you made the right choice! great to have your company this morning. and to brighten your morning, it is helen. or maybe not! it is so murky this morning but i do have some brightness for you coming up. this is the view in county durham this morning. we have got fog and rain, we have gotjust about every type of weather probably even a smidgen of snow at the top of the

cairngorms. it is a rather wet start to our sunday morning. vastly different to the sunshine of yesterday. just a word of warning. if you are heading out on the roads, if you are heading out on the roads, i know i found it tricky to travel this money because of the rain and hailfor combined. once this money because of the rain and hail for combined. once the this money because of the rain and hailfor combined. once the rain sets in if you haven't already got it, there will be lots of spray and standing water, and i think gray will be a particular problem this week because the ground is saturated. flood warnings are out because there is no way for the water to go. lots of paddled around, and concern on faster routes for some aquaplaning. the rain is slow to clearfrom some aquaplaning. the rain is slow to clear from eastern parts of england into the early part of the afternoon. then we have got the fog to get rid of further west. particularly around south—west scotland, south—west england and way is. given a little bit of brightness and outside the heavy showers that

might follow behind, not as numerous of cores as they were in recent days, but still the odd sharp one, temperature is above average. this evening and overnight, further showers coming through and some heavy ones, particularly in the west. they get lighter as they move further east. some clear skies and not as chilly as it was on friday night, but chillier than the night just gone. a fairly decent day on monday with a drier window of weather until later on in northern ireland when the next low pressure system moves in. you will start to feel the effects of the sunshine at this time of the year, getting into moderate uv levels. 14—16 tomorrow stop but later tomorrow, we saw the rain coming into northern ireland accompanied by stronger winds and that pushes east during the night. then another pulse of rain develops along the trailing weather front, and itjust hangs around. then another low pressure will come in

for later in the week. i think rain is going to be a concern. this is the predicted rainfall for this week. as the blues get deeper, there's more rainfall adding up. 10-15 there's more rainfall adding up. 10—15 millimetres today, and then again on monday night into tuesday, and potentially into wednesday as well. so you are getting the idea, this picture of unsettled weather continuing. it is going to stay mild but in the north it will get colder at times, some snow on the tops of the cairngorms, but generally speaking it is milder than it should be for the time of year and it remains unsettled with further rain and at times some brisk winds. some brightness in there, or at least a little bit. sainsbury's has apologised to its customers after most online grocery deliveries could not be fulfilled yesterday, due to technical issues. the supermarket said an overnight

software update was to blame, but that the issues were now resolved. our reporter aina aslam has the latest. millions of people order groceries online, and rely on them arriving at their doors on time. but many were left disappointed yesterday, when sainsbury's couldn't deliver most of its orders. the company blamed a software update that also affected contactless payments at stores. as frustrated shoppers took to social media to complain about the poor service and long queues, the ceo contacted customers by e—mail. simon roberts said he wanted to apologise to everyone affected by the issue. sainsbury's says it's now fixed the issue and new orders can be delivered from today. tesco, which had unrelated technical problems that forced it to cancel some of its deliveries, has also apologised,

and it's back to business as usual. but the technical glitches have cast a spotlight on the resilience of online supermarkets, increasingly popular since the covid pandemic. this is not what they want. they need to be resilient. their systems need to stand up to problems because they want to serve their customers well, every single day, 365 days a year. it is frustrating for the businesses, it's frustrating for the customers. but i think of the world where technology is such a big part of our lives, it is something we will have to get used to. when things go wrong, they will go wrong fairly quickly, with fairly big consequences. some experts have criticised sainsbury's for not properly testing the update before implementing it. aina aslam, bbc news. we're joined now by technology expert tom cheesewright. good morning. this is the problem.

waste piled up on either side. the drone then meets the heart of the alleged illegal operation, which was once a wildlife haven. the damage from this is going to be devastating. so the ground flora, the fungi, the mycorrhizae, the trees, the species living in it, all will be destroyed, devastated. local people say the site was cleared of trees back in 2020 but the worst of the dumping began injuly last year, when dozens of big grab lorries would tip waste every day. i first saw the extent of the problem back in early january. one resident, who wishes not to show his face for fear of reprisals, described his anger at it being allowed to happen. there's four, five football pitches, some places as deep as 25 feet, full of processed landfill waste in a designated and legally protected sssi. i'm astounded. the very presence of a digger preparing the way in a designated 555! should have triggered an immediate response.

well, it still looks just as disgusting as when i was here back injanuary, but what has changed is that there's a court order here, issued on the 16th of january by medway magistrates, making it illegal to enter the site. there's also these concrete blocks here making sure no—one can get in. but what i can smell from time to time are these wafts of rotten eggs, which is the chemical called hydrogen sulphide, and that's not good for your health. it comes five months after another large illegal operation in rochester was ordered by the environment agency to return the site too as it was before tipping it began. damping here has now stopped, but residents and conservation groups have begun a campaign to get the site clear it simple, get it cleared up. the waste has iled simple, get it cleared up. the waste has piled high. _ simple, get it cleared up. the waste has piled high. it— simple, get it cleared up. the waste has piled high, it is— simple, get it cleared up. the waste has piled high, it is a _ simple, get it cleared up. the waste has piled high, it is a site _ simple, get it cleared up. the waste has piled high, it is a site of - has piled high, it is a site of special scientistic interest with fantastic wildlife value, and it is in a terrible state now. these will

# we are women. # we are strong. # we are fighting for our lives. # side by side with our men...# i was quite excited at the start of the strike. i thought it was going to be a matter of weeks and still i can't believe that it went on the length of time it did. most of the women totally agreed with what was going on because it was for the future. it was to save jobs and to save communities. friends for a0 years, lynne and rose are members of the north staffordshire miners' wives action group, here for a screening of a film about their campaign. as soon as the strike was announced, they started mobilising. they started setting up the food centres, doing the soup kitchens, making sure everybody was fed, organising meetings. it was liberating, really. we just all clicked and it was as if you were all fighting for the same thing.

i knew i was right. # we don't need government'sl approval for anything we do...# although the miners returned to work when the strike ended, the women's campaigning continued. after trentham pit was threatened with closure, they set up camp outside for months and then took their demonstration inside the mine. it was num president arthur scargill who brought them out. i think what's been achieved is a tremendous display of courage and determination by women who rank alongside the suffragettes. it took it to another level for me, the pit camp. it did really. i was so proud. i was so proud of what we were doing. and we could see already how our children were growing up and the futures were being... there was nothing, there was nothing in stoke—on—trent. and we think it's had now. and it wasjust as bad then. at the very heart of the group

was brenda proctor. she died in 2017, but family and friends say hers is a powerful legacy. they formed strong bonds that would never be broken during that strike, and they went on to fight other injustices around the country and stand up for people's rights in many other disputes. 40 years on, it seems like it was 10 minutes away, but at the same time, it feels like a lifetime. the mines went. and i do think part of my community died. women are a force to be reckoned with. you know, when you get a group of women together that are going to do stuff, they do stuff. i felt privileged to be part of that strike. in ten years' time, hopefully we'll still be here fighting in our own little way. i think it's just baby steps, but when you put it all together, it's a marvellous thing that we did.

# here we go. # for the women of the working class.# i remember it well. they close the pit in the village where i grew up by the time the strike happened, but i do remember all those places that she was talking about there. amazing. stay with us, there is plenty more to come on breakfast.

hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and sarah campbell. on bbc one at 9 o'clock this morning, it's sunday with laura kuenssberg. let's find out what she's got in store. on bbc one at 9:00. a busy programme for you. more of our interview with princess diana's brother, charles spencer. he opens up about the misery of his childhood, sent away at boarding school at the age of eight where he suffered abuse. he's only speaking about it decades later. and i've been asking him

what he makes of the current frenzy around kate middleton, the current princess of wales. how does it compare to the levels of intrusion that his late sister suffered back in the 19905? and the government wants you to think they are cracking down on so called low traffic neighbourhoods, schemes that make it harderfor cars to get about in local areas. but are the transport secretary's plans really what they appear? more of that on bbc one at nine. see you then. cash—strapped councils are having to make some tough choices at the moment — and often public toilets are one of the first services to close. businessess in york say it means they're spending thousands of pounds a year maintaining in—store toilets, which are used by everyone — notjust their cutomers. dave edwards reports. brown's department store is a bit of a york institution. it's been here for over 100 years.

residents and tourists come here for clothes, cosmetics and to use the toilet. we don't want to be unwelcoming to people that want to come to use the facilities, but at the same time, the usage that our toilets get is too much and it causes us a lot of problems. we have to spend inevitably more money on cleaning products, toilet roll, myself and my colleagues have to go in regularly and unblock toilets and unblock your aisles, and clear up quite unpleasant things in there which isn't fair on my colleagues. and at peak times, the queue for the toilets can be really long. around the corner, at york's main library it's a similar story. a quarter of a million visits last year, people coming and using the toilets, coming into york as a visitor they're difficult to find, you know a library has got them so that is where you come. there needs to be better signposting to those we have got

and better quality for those that are there. the city of york council runs public toilets at 11 different places across the city. this is one of them. but the days of spending a penny are long gone. it's 40p now, which might be one reason why people go elsewhere. particularly in cashless days, a lot of people don't have change on them, it's quite difficult and they have to rely on the good intentions and goodwill of businesses to let them use their toilets throughout the day if they need them. you probably have to ask the pub, can i use the toilet. if you need to go you need to go to here, to saint- sampson's, m&s, the facilities are rubbish. i in a statement, the city of york council says...

the library is suggesting that people using its toilets might make a donation to help. for local businesses, maintaining toilets for anyone who walks in is money flushed away. dave edwards, bbc news. we have had lots of e—mails from you on this— we have had lots of e—mails from you on this subject — we have had lots of e—mails from you on this subject. our— we have had lots of e—mails from you on this subject. our editor— on this subject. our editor commented _ on this subject. our editor commented we _ on this subject. our editor commented we flushed i on this subject. our editor. commented we flushed with on this subject. our editor- commented we flushed with them. on this subject. our editor— commented we flushed with them. it is not commented we flushed with them. is not a joking matter. it is something which is important to you. we're joined now by francis thomas, from the campaign for public infrastructure, and lyn morgan, who's been campaigning for access to more public toilets. good morning to both of you. francis, giver is an idea of why it is happening and the extent in which public facilities are being closed.

it's a huge problem across the country. we estimate around one quarter public toilets have closed in the last decade. it is because councils can't afford to run them. many councils want to fund their toilet, but budgets are squeezed. one in five or about to go bankrupt next few years. the first thing you cut is what you don't run.- cut is what you don't run. there is no leral cut is what you don't run. there is no legal obligation? _ cut is what you don't run. there is no legal obligation? no, - cut is what you don't run. there is no legal obligation? no, no- cut is what you don't run. there is i no legal obligation? no, no funding for ublic no legal obligation? no, no funding for public toilets. _ no legal obligation? no, no funding for public toilets. as _ no legal obligation? no, no funding for public toilets. as a _ no legal obligation? no, no funding for public toilets. as a result, - no legal obligation? no, no funding for public toilets. as a result, for i for public toilets. as a result, for understandable reasons, they look at what they spend their money on and think they don't need to spend it on it. ., .,, think they don't need to spend it on it. some of those toilets looked uuite it. some of those toilets looked quite nice. _ it. some of those toilets looked quite nice, quite _ it. some of those toilets looked quite nice, quite clean - it. some of those toilets looked quite nice, quite clean and - it. some of those toilets looked l quite nice, quite clean and smart. it's not always the case. often they were used for undesirable practices. and that's presumably, they become an issue then, rather than a facility. an issue then, rather than a facili . , , ., an issue then, rather than a facili. ,, ., , facility. they become a place people don't want to _ facility. they become a place people don't want to use. _ facility. they become a place people

moment. since 2010 they have halved the amount they are spending on public toilets, 67 billion out of the budget. we won't get them back, we understand. we need to find a model, using community toilet schemes, where businesses are paid by the local authority to use their toilets. that needs to be part of a wider package. we need to give them public health funding, because it is a health issue, a real health issue. you need ring fenced public funding towards toilets, towards infrastructure which makes your town and city and town centre somewhere you want to go. what we need is political momentum, and understanding of the problem, people like lynne to speak about it, and people to listen and go, 0k, like lynne to speak about it, and people to listen and go, ok, let's work together as a city council and just say, we will do what you can. they need the money.—

clearly an issue many people are concerned about. it is 840. when they're not at their day jobs, doctors, business owners and garden designers can be found changing into sequin costumes and taking part in cold water swimming in brighton. the group known as the disco dippers have now claimed gold at the winter swimming world championships in estonia, our reporter piers hopkirk has been to meet them. not many swimmers turn up to brighton sea lanes dressed like this, but the disco dippers are here to show us their world—beating routine. music: girlsjust want to have fun by cyndi lauper these are the moves which won them gold at the winter swimming world championships in estonia. the dancing is one thing, but it's the freezing conditions which were the real test. obviously in the uk it's very difficult to find, especially on the south coast, very difficult to find temperatures

that are below or at freezing. so we did a lot of ice baths. so, yeah, i'd say probably for the month leading up to it, we did train. the women have been sea—swimming together for ten years, but when the chance came to perform, they couldn't resist it. the fact that we have these wonderful friendships, we do slightly childish, fun things together, it keeps us really young, it makes life joyful. and to celebrate something together is great. in estonia, the pool was actually part of the baltic sea. the first in had to break the ice. there were serious races being held too, and the brighton women also took part in a record—breaking relay, all of it in near—freezing conditions. when you go in, there's a big sign up saying, "do not mess around when you take your clothes off." and so when they shout at you, "take off your clothes, get in the water!", and the adrenaline just gets you up there. wejust raced up and didn't notice at all, really.

it was fine until you come out. she laughs it's hard getting in, but once you're in, it's lovely, and once you get out, it's even lovelier, yeah. after those conditions, a rainy day in brighton is nothing. this is positively tropical compared to estonia. the costumes and dance routines will be taking a rest for now, as they head back to more sober gear for their regular weekly sea—swims. but maybe next year they'll be back to defend their title. piers hopkirk, bbc south east today. they look good. that is what i needed this morning. that is more than enough to write my morning. fantastic. time for the sport. we are going to talk six nations. no great surprise ireland won it. they were the favourites, but it was

handled themselves very well. the story is ireland, celebrations considering today. andy swiss reports. commentator: six nations champions for the second year running. for ireland, it's becoming a gloriously familiar sight. champions once more but by goodness, they had to work for it. it was a day of high tension and also high emotion. the hosts knew a win would clinch the title. sheehan... the irish hooker opens the home side's account in dublin. ..they seemed on the way. but they lead byjust a point at the break and as the errors grew, so did the worried faces. when andrew porter eventually crashed over, dublin breathed a collective sigh of relief. but scotland weren't done with minutes left, huthones set up a nerve—jangling finale. there is a step and there's

huthones for scotland. it was too little, too late, ireland clung on for the second year in a row, the six nations champions. to be in a position to win a championship is pretty special, and life's all about memories, isn't it? stuff like this is what dreams are made of. and so for irish players, another night of six nations celebration. once again the trophy and the title are in their hands. behind them, the runners—up spot went to france after they beat england in thrilling fashion. england looked to have snatched it as tommy freeman's try and george ford's nerveless conversion got them ahead. but with a minute left, a penalty from the halfway line and guess what? a 33—31 win for france, for england after some dazzling rugby, an ultimately disappointing finish.

not nearly as disappointing though as for wales. they ended with a first wooden spoon for 21 years as italy proved far too good. lorenzo panne with the pick of their tries on a grim day for the hosts. the retiring george north had to be helped from the field and afterwards the coach warren gatland offered his resignation. it was rejected but he knows the rebuild will not be easy. andy swiss, bbc news. disappointment for wales. celebrations for ireland. the former scotland internationaljohn barclay joins us now. thank you for being with us. we will talk about scotland, i promise, because that was an impressive performance. ireland, so much emotion around the game yesterday, the captain, we may not see him again in antinational rugby. 56 nations titles for him. it maybe

wasn't the grand finale eyelid wanted to deliver, the defeat against england and the performance against england and the performance against scotland —— ireland. how do you sum up the championship for them? ~ . you sum up the championship for them? . ., ., ,, you sum up the championship for them? ., you sum up the championship for them? . ., ., ,, ., ,, ., you sum up the championship for them? ., them? what happened happened, to be honest. them? what happened happened, to be honest- there's — them? what happened happened, to be honest. there's a _ them? what happened happened, to be honest. there's a little _ them? what happened happened, to be honest. there's a little bit _ them? what happened happened, to be honest. there's a little bit of— honest. there's a little bit of potential gloss taken off the championship, but everyone spoke about that they aren't a country which takes it lightly. of course they want to win a grand slam, but it highlights how hard it is to win it. they were made to work hard yesterday, but they cruised through much of the championship. they slipped up against a formidable england side, but they still other standard—bearers. england side, but they still other standard-bearers.— england side, but they still other standard-bearers. people talking about where _ standard-bearers. people talking about where they _ standard-bearers. people talking about where they are _ standard-bearers. people talking about where they are in - standard-bearers. people talking about where they are in terms i standard-bearers. people talking about where they are in terms of| standard-bearers. people talking i about where they are in terms of the list of the all—time greats. had they backed it up with another grand slam, we may more easily come to the conclusion. how do you rate them in

this morning, princess diana's brother, and an ugly week for politics. not the time to call an election. you get the gag — rishi sunak accused of chickening out of a spring election. finally, specifically, saying we won't all go to the polls at the start of may.

just as well for the tories, caught again in controversy after their biggest donor was allegedly caught making racist remarks about the mp diane abbott... will you give the money back, prime minister? i ..which downing street took what felt like an age to admit. is the prime minister proud to be bankrolled by someone using racist and misogynist language? mr speaker, the alleged comments were wrong, they were racist. the mp herself was denied the chance to speak out in the commons. her anger plain later. this is not about me. this is about the level of racism there is still in britain. mr lee anderson... while the conservative booted out over comments about london's muslim mayor defected to reform. and like millions of people up and down the country, all i want is my country back. so, a big question this morning —

when it comes to race, does politics have a problem?
