interview with prince andrew. and coming up on bbc news, a football governance bill aimed at protecting clubs like bury fc from going under will be put to parliament today. it's expected to pave the way for an independent regulator. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. kensington palace has confirmed moving images taken by a member of the public and published by the sun of catherine, the princess of wales, on a shopping trip with prince william in windsor. the princess has been out of public sight since christmas after having abdominal surgery. well, this lunchtime, the prince of wales is visiting housing initiatives in sheffield to promote his project to tackle homelessness. here's our royal

correspondent sean coughlan. a bleary video of a couple going shopping at the weekend has become an international talking point. the pictures of prince william and catherine published by the sun are the first video images of the princess since her abdominal surgery injanuary. the unexpected appearance of the house of windsor in the windsor farm shop shows that she's back on herfeet in the windsor farm shop shows that she's back on her feet and in the windsor farm shop shows that she's back on herfeet and looking relaxed and smiling. there has been a whirlwind of social media speculation and conspiracy theories about the princess's health. it follows the release of a photograph on mother's day which added to a fee sense of uncertainty when it was withdrawn by photo agencies after concerns it had been manipulated. people on london bridge this morning gave their views. it’s people on london bridge this morning gave their views.— gave their views. it's good to see she's back _ gave their views. it's good to see she's back and _ gave their views. it's good to see she's back and hopefully - gave their views. it's good to see she's back and hopefully she's i gave their views. it's good to see i she's back and hopefully she's doing well. �* , , . well. i'm sure it will be quite nice for her to — well. i'm sure it will be quite nice for her to do _ well. i'm sure it will be quite nice for her to do some _ well. i'm sure it will be quite nice for her to do some shopping - well. i'm sure it will be quite nice for her to do some shopping with| well. i'm sure it will be quite nice - for her to do some shopping with her husband _ for her to do some shopping with her husband |f— for her to do some shopping with her husband. , , ., ., , . husband. if she is well fantastic. but yeah. _

the conspiracies which have gone around and around on some sort of strange media spin cycle and this in a way might answer some of that. this isn't something which has been endorsed by kensington palace. of course they are keen on private moments remaining private, that's very important to them, but i think it will at last perhaps send some of the more outlandish theories away for the time being at least by showing she is up and about shopping, doing something a family make do with the weekend. qm. shopping, doing something a family make do with the weekend. 0k, thank ou ve make do with the weekend. 0k, thank you very much- _ you can watch continuing coverage of prince william's visit to sheffield and other royal news on bbc iplayer now. aims to make our energy system greener will cost almost £60 billion in upgrades according to a new plan from the body which runs the electricity network. it says the government's targets to decarbonise the system by 2035 will require around 4,000 miles of under—sea cabling and 1,000 miles of onshore power lines, mainly carried by pylons, to connect the growing power

generated by wind to the grid. it's thought the investment would add between £20 and £30 a year to customer bills. here's our business editor simonjack. green, cheap, home—grown. offshore wind power has been a massive british success story, and there are plans for more huge wind farms like this one. but you need to get the electricity from where it's produced out at sea to the homes and businesses where it's used and that will mean more of these. today's grid upgrade involves 1,000 miles of new onshore power lines, mostly overhead pylons. 4,000 miles of undersea cables at a cost of £58 billion, which means an extra £20 to £30 on annual bills for the next decade. the system planners insist they've kept as many cables out at sea as possible. but new pylons through scotland, west wales, the north west, east anglia and essex are inevitable. we've tried to balance cost, environmental impacts, impacts on communities and the security of

the electricity system. and what that's meant is that we've got in the plan four times as much offshore infrastructure, new offshore infrastructure as onshore. but inevitably that does mean, in balancing those four factors, that there is still going to be some infrastructure onshore. so that inevitably means more pylons? yes, it does for some communities. no! 0pponents say they're not anti windpower, but more of the network should be at sea and power lines can and should be buried underground. you cannot keep offering each wind fibre connection one by one onshore and then have it trenching across miles of countryside to get to a substation. that'sjust plain bonkers and it's really expensive. so the problem we've got in this country is when everyone thinks great grid upgrade, they think pylons and the whole rhetoric is around pylons and no one thinks about these other better ways of doing things. so that's what upsets people who are told they can have a pylon outside their garden. but burying cables underground can be up to four times more expensive, according to national grid.

the government said these were preliminary plans that would have to go through a robust planning process, a stage at which many infrastructure plans have failed. but without a grid upgrade, the uk's wind power risks going to waste. simon jack, bbc news. the availability of nursery and preschool care is falling in england, scotland and wales at the same time that costs are rising. that's according to research by a childcare charity. government—funded places for two—year—olds in england are due to be expanded from april, but the charity coram family and childcare suggests fewer than one in three councils in britain believes there is enough childcare provision for under—twos in all areas. here's vanessa clarke. see you later. it's drop off time at granby nursery on the border of nottinghamshire and the children here are ready to start the day. but the cost of a nursery space like this is rising fast. an increase in the minimum wage

and other costs mean nurseries are finding it hard to balance the books. we do want to pay the staff more because they are very valuable to us, but we're simply unable to do that because of the amount of money that we're getting in in order to provide the care for the child. itjust simply doesn't meet the costs that we're facing. today's report highlights notjust the rising cost of childcare, but how tricky it can be to find a place. this nursery is full with a waiting list, and there are many other areas where there just aren't enough nursery and childminder spaces to meet demand. in england, wales and scotland, fewer than a third of councils say there are enough childcare spaces for children under two, down from 42% last year. forfamilies living in rural areas, only 16% of councils say there are enough spaces. and for children with special educational needs and disabilities, the number drops to just 8%.

parents are facing a double whammy of above inflation price rises and dramatic drops and availability of childcare places. we are a short world away from a really big expansion of childcare and obviously that's really concerning that we might not have enough places for every parent who needs them and every child who needs to take one up. how about this bit? has that got a dinosaur spike on it? the expansion of government funded hours orfree hours in england, which is due to begin injust two weeks, was welcome news for therese, who works full time in northamptonshire. her two—year—old daughter quinn's nursery bill is more than her mortgage — £13,000 a year. quinn is eligible for 15 hours from april, but it won't be coming her way. so our nursery has had to take the really tough decision to opt out of the funding hours because they are currently running at a massive deficit. we've had four, i think between four and five nurseries close in the local area. there is another nursery in the village, but even they're

having to look at the same thing, whether they can actually afford to run with the scheme that's currently in place. the english, scottish and welsh governments all say they're investing more money in early years education. with demand expected to increase, these sought—after nursery places will become even harder to find. vanessa clarke, bbc news. the shadow chancellor will pledge to bring about a new chapter in britain's economic history in a speech to business and finance leaders later today. rachel reeves is expected to give new details of labour's approach to borrowing, the setting of interest rates by the bank of england and the party's plans to return the economy to long—term growth. the conservatives say labour has "no plan — just more borrowing and more taxes". a claim for compensation has been launched by people who say they are affected by pollution in the river wye. last year, the government's nature watchdog, natural england, said the river's health was declining with many blaming

the rapid expansion of industrial chicken farms in the area. the food producer at the centre of the claims says they aren't supported by evidence. 0ur environment correspondent jonah fisher has the details. this is england's favourite river and now it's like something out of charlie and the chocolate factory. pete used to love taking his coracle out on the river wye. if you'd come here four years ago and we'd have been stood here, you could have seen the bottom of the river right the way across. it broughtjoy notjust to me, but to lots of people. but the joy for pete has gone. the declining health of the river means going out just isn't fun anymore. it feeds my anxiety, my depression. it is damaging for my mental health. rather than coming off the river with a big grin and taking lots and lots of photos, which i then share, instead of that, i'm coming off angry. angry with who? angry with the people polluting the river. so who's to blame?

these guys are at least part of the problem. the last decade has seen a massive expansion in chicken farming near the wye. and that means lots of chicken poo. and if too much of that is spread on fields as fertiliser, it runs off into the river and can turn it green. the use of huge industrial chicken sheds helps keep prices down at the supermarket, but with the decline of the river clear to see, the question now being asked is whether those who live and work along the river wye might be entitled to compensation. lawyers are targeting avara foods, the company that dominates chicken production near the wye. we're saying people who have property along the river, people who enjoy the river, people who use the river, they can all come forward. private property owners or have a right to have a legal right to be able to enjoy the river, be able to enjoy it

without interference from pollution. so this is the living room. and that's the view you get. the river wye in our garden. it's what people pay for. mark rents out a holiday home on the banks of the wye, and he's worried he'll lose out because the riverjust isn't an attraction anymore. we can't, with all honesty, say to people, help yourself swim in the river because it's damaged. so let's wait and see how badly it affects our business. what are you hoping to achieve by being part of this group litigation? holding them to account. hitting them where it hurts in their pocket. because that seems to be the only way. the only thing they understand. and getting restitution for the river. somebody has to repair the damage. in a statement, avara foods said...

jonah fisher, bbc news. our top story this afternoon. the princess of wales is seen in public for the first time in weeks after abdominal surgery. a new report says the scale of pothole repairs in england and wales has reached an eight—year high. coming up on bbc news, england women have beaten new zealand by 27 runs in theirfirst t20 in dunedin. captain heather knight top scored with 63 from just 39 balls. sex scenes that were previously acceptable in films with a 12 or 12a rating are now more likely to be rated 15 under updated guidelines. the british board of film classification has carried out its first major audience research for five years and found people are more concerned about how much sex and nudity can be seen by children under 15.

charlie rose has this report. released in 1964, goldfinger is one of the classic bond movies, but some of the content hasn't stood the test of time. now let's both play. the british board of film classification, or bbfc, says people who took part in its research feel this scene actually portrays sexual assault. and these drama and media students in bury in greater manchester agree that the film's current classification of pg, for parental guidance, is too low. it's not appropriate for younger viewers, for the younger audience. i tend to ignore the kind of not—as appropriate side of it, because that's how i was brought up, tojust see the better things of it. the bbfc says its guidelines are updated every few years to ensure standards reflect the expectations and values of audiences.

in its new survey, the organisation spoke to more people than ever before. 12,000 people there or thereabouts responded to your latest survey. tell me what they told you this time. they've told us that they're slightly more concerned about violence and sexual activity. there's a degree of tightening up on language, particularly at the lower levels, but there's a bit more relaxation when it comes to cannabis use. don't worry about that. and that's why the new film about bob marley has been classified as suitable for children over 12. # every little thing gonna alright. you like that one? yeah. our research had come out already, so it enabled us to apply the new research to the film. the film was now given a 12a. if we had received that film six months ago, it would have been given a 15. and olderfilms put forward for rerelease must also be tested

against current attitudes. last month, the original mary poppins from the 19605 was reclassified from a u, which stands for universal, to a pg because of concerns about discriminatory language. bumblebee from 2018 was among the more recent films shown to focus groups as part of the bbc�*s latest research. and at school, the children had their own firm views. do you think the pg rating is right? yeah, because they're like toys that children play with. and i think that if kids can play with those toys then they can at least see the movie. i think the violence should at least be toned down a little, because the younger audiences, if they see stuff, they want to copy. so these films would be labelled differently if they were released today. charlie rose, bbc news. talks are continuing in qatar in a fresh attempt

to secure a ceasefire deal between israel and hamas. both sides are under pressure to halt the fighting to allow aid into the gaza strip and secure the release of hostages. the us secretary of state antony blinken has urged israel to prioritise allowing aid into gaza saying the entire population is suffering. anna foster reports from jerusalem. at gaza's southern tip, the aftermath of the mother air strike. 1.4 million people are now displaced and sheltering in rafa and israel has made it clear that they want to go further. a ground offensive, it says, would remove hamas from gaza entirely. but there is international pressure to avoid even more deaths. the message from israel's allies to its leaders is getting stronger. fiur its leaders is getting stronger. our osition is its leaders is getting stronger. oi" position is that hamas its leaders is getting stronger. (iij' position is that hamas should its leaders is getting stronger. (ziij' position is that hamas should not its leaders is getting stronger.

population of gaza is at severe levels of food insecurity. that's the first time an entire population has been so classified. talks towards a — has been so classified. talks towards a ceasefire - has been so classified. talks towards a ceasefire have i has been so classified. talks towards a ceasefire have restarted in qatar. negotiators cautioned that a deal will still take time. and in the rubble of gaza, the prospect of a pause in fighting feels as far away as ever. anna foster, bbc news, jerusalem. here a 39—year—old man has become the first person in england and wales to be jailed for "cyber—flashing". nicholas hawkes was sentenced to over a year in prison at southend crown court for sending unsolicited, explicit photos to a 15—year—old girl and a woman. the offence was introduced under the 0nline safety act, which came into effect on the 31st of january potholes are the blight of our roads and now a new report says that roads in england and wales

are at "breaking point" with repairs at an eight—year high. the asphalt industry alliance said councils were expected to fix two million potholes in the current financial year. that is up 43% on the previous year and the highest annual total since 2015—16. let's speak to danjohnson in bristol for us. let's speak to dan johnson in bristol for us.— let's speak to dan johnson in bristol for us. yes, this is hazel burri road _ bristol for us. yes, this is hazel burri road in _ bristol for us. yes, this is hazel burri road in bristol— bristol for us. yes, this is hazel burri road in bristol and - bristol for us. yes, this is hazel burri road in bristol and the i burri road in bristol and the residency are emerging from their homes to the sweet smell of fresh asphalt with a whole new road surface which should be finished by tomorrow after an army of road workers moved in but the warning on the annual survey is there is not enough of this sort of work going on to tackle all of the potholes apparent across the road network, and if we look in more detail, the survey says there are more than 2 million potholes that need to be fixed in this year alone. it is

worth saying that a survey by the asphalt industry, the people who lay the tarmac, perhaps they would say that, but they say things are the worst they have been for the last eight years, so they are insisting that action needs to be taken to catch up with the backlog. there is more funding. the department for transport says it's given £8.3 billion to repair roads across england but the warning is that with all the other cost councils are facing and with inflation and rising prices, they are not able to use that money to repair as many of the roads as they need to. there is a backlog that would take something like £16 billion to fix. so although there is action here and many roads are being repaired, there are still plenty of potholes out there causing damage to cars, issues for drivers and making some people very, very angry. it's a story that comes round again and again and one we don't seem to be able to get a grip on. i know you think that they only fix the roads at the end of march at the end of the year when there is money to spend, but there is some sense in this after the worst of the winter

weather has gone, that is the time to make a proper pothole repair, apparently. donald trump faces having some of his assets seized, to cover a hefty fine for fraudulently inflating his wealth to get cheaper loans. his lawyers say they've failed to find a company to put up nearly half a billion dollars cash required as bail, while he appeals. mr trump, who's due to challenge joe biden for the white house in november, has blasted the case as a "witchhunt". plans for an independent football regulator will be introduced in parliament today, with the football governance bill. if passed, the legislation would grant powers to an independent body to oversee clubs in england's top five men's divisions. it follows a fan—led review in 2022. a study into suicide by armed forces veterans, the first of its kind in the uk, is calling for an urgent review of the mental health services which are meant to support them. the report, "one is too many", found a range of issues which led to unnecessary deaths. 0ur reporter, alison freeman,

met the parents of veteran ben riches, who died in 2019. some viewers may find her report upsetting. he was the life and soul of the party. i think that was reflected at a funeral when the funeral director estimated about 500 people, most of them his former comrades from the army, turned up for his funeral. ben was 30 when he took his own life. it followed a number of failed suicide attempts and numerous conversations with mental health professionals. it was on his return from a tour of iraq that his family noticed serious signs of trauma. there was an occasion carolyn was woken up in the middle of the night. ben was in the toilet washing his hands, and he was asleep. he was saying, "i've got to wash blood of my hands." "i've got to wash the blood on my hands." he was burning his

hands under the tap. that's when we suspected there might be problems. ben was discharged from the army and struggled to engage with a variety of mental health services. he died in 2019. ben's mum and dad are now among more than 20 families who've told their stories to researchers at northumbria university for the "one is too many" study into veteran suicides. the study, which is the first of its kind, found disjointed, overstretched and inconsistent mental health services, as well as a lack of understanding of military personnel. he would come across as being aggressive, but he wasn't being aggressive. he was trying to mask his vulnerability. and our care givers don't recognise that, because they're not trained or educated in dealing with the veterans. the report's authors spoke to hundreds of mental health staff and bereaved relatives and found similar stories of missed opportunities over

more than a decade. the crux of it, is if we want to save lives, then families need to be involved. the biggest message that the families have kind of articulated to us is that there were times when there could have been an intervention. or they spotted something, but no—one would listen. to keep reading that overand overagain is, for us ,as a research team, is a significant finding. the study makes a number of recommendations to help mental health organisations improve and prevent unnecessary deaths. like making sure families are included in care plans. we know ben, he's our son. you know, if they had listened to us, then maybe, maybe he might still be here. the office for veterans affairs says it will review the research and continue working to make sure veterans like ben can access the right support. alison freeman, bbc news. it was the interview which caused

prince andrew to withdraw from all public duties. now his 2019 newsnight head—to—head with emily maitlis has been turned into a film. scoop tells the behind—the—scenes story, with billie piper as the producer sam mcalister, who landed the interview, and gillian anderson playing emily maitlis. she originally turned down the part as she believed taking on the role of the former newsnight host was too scary. they've both been speaking to our entertainment correspondent colin paterson. tomorrow night, in an unprecedented interview, we will hear from the duke himself. it's newsnight: the movie, or rather, a netflix dramatisation of how producer sam mccallister, played by billie piper, secured emily maitlis' 2019 interview with prince andrew. the allegations surrounding jeffrey epstein include his friend prince andrew. with gillian anderson as emily maitlis. i could walk in the park. why do you need to make a dramatic version of it when the original is still there?

because this, as much as anything, is about the story behind the acquisition of the interview. why not dramatise up until one of the most important and dramatic interviews in history, really. i think it is in history, isn't it? myjob is booking the people we can'tjust call up. hello, everyone. billie, it's important to say this is very much from the point of view of sam mcallister. she's so high energy and unlike anyone i've ever met, actually, and i don't say that lightly. i've never been smuggled into a palace before. at first, gillian anderson actually turned down the role of emily maitlis. i can't tell you what the questions will be because i don't know myself yet. but when i do know... ..i still won't tell you. i mean, it's just too scary to play emily maitlis. why?

well, because she's still living, because she's so formidable, because people know her so well and they said, well, then you have to do it. do you remember dancing at tramp? no. and to make things more complicated, emily maitlis herself is executive producer on an upcoming rival three—part amazon drama about the interview, which made it slightly awkward when gillian anderson bumped into her. i had come to this charity event not having prepared at all and was really dishevelled, and she showed up as emily maitlis, who looks like a movie star and was tanned and short white skirt and tanned legs and everything. and i literally looked like her great aunt! i thought that went very well. prince andrew famously thought that the interview had been a triumph. gillian anderson and billie piper both agree that there is almost no chance he will watch this version. this interview, does it matter? colin paterson, bbc news. yeah, it matters.

time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. who would play you, chris? i'm not sure about — who would play you, chris? i'm not sure about that _ who would play you, chris? i'm not sure about that one _ who would play you, chris? i'm not sure about that one and _ who would play you, chris? i'm not sure about that one and i'm - who would play you, chris? i'm not sure about that one and i'm not i who would play you, chris? i'm notl sure about that one and i'm not sure i'm worth playing. anyway, let's head back into the weather world. today the weather brightening up for many with spells of sunshine developing pretty widely across the uk. some pleasant weather around, and it stays cloudy across east anglia and the south—east where there are a few showers but the best of the sunshine so far is in wales, northern england and it should stay dry and scotland and northern ireland with a mixture of sunny spells and a few fleeting passing showers, you would be unlucky to catch a shower today. temperature is 13 degrees or scotland and northern ireland but as high as 15 or 16 in east anglia and southern england, so pretty mild. it should be about ten to 12 this year. 0utbreaks pretty mild. it should be about ten to 12 this year. outbreaks of rain feeding is low pressure moves in off the atlantic, and that will keep temperatures around nine or 10

degrees or a mild england and wales, scotland and northern ireland between six and seven celsius but we start tomorrow with rain in northern ireland and that will push its way east with the heaviest rain set to move in across wales and northern england. it's not clear cut you will see rain across northern scotland as the weather might be brighter and after a dry start across south—east england, we will probably see the cloud threaten the odd patch of rain during the afternoon. mild again for a good part of england, 15 or 16 degrees in the mildest box but for scotland and northern ireland, northern england and north wales, temperatures will be coming down closer to the average and then we see another slice of a milder air of the atlantic for thursday behind this warm front and that will tend to boost the temperatures back up and will also bring some rain into scotland and strong winds with gusts of wind running at 50 mph for northern areas of scotland and the rain is persistent from western scotland for much of the day and the rain band sinking into northern ireland through the afternoon.

england and wales either cloud thinning and
