a mass shooting at a concert in moscow — at least 60 people are killed, and many more wounded. the islamic state group says it carried out the attack. in sport, they're getting ready to rumble in the women's six nations. it's expected to be the most competitive and most watched ever, but can anybody stop england claiming the title for a sixth consecutive year? hello, good morning. getting used to the warm weather over the past couple of weeks but things are turning a lot colder for the next few days. a more chilly weekend in store for all areas with blustery winds, sunshine and showers and so i will have the details later. we are at old trafford where football is fighting back —— but football is fighting back —— but football is fighting back —— but football is fighting back against motor neurone disease. they are marching on for march of the day. it's saturday the 23rd of march.

our main story. there's been an outpouring of support for the princess of wales after she revealed she has cancer. in a video statement, catherine said the diagnosis came as a "huge shock" and that she's in the early stages of chemotherapy. kensington palace says it's confident the princess will make a full recovery. our royal correspondent daniela relph has more on this story. my medical team therefore advise that i... personal, direct and vulnerable — a princess as we've never seen her before, speaking directly to the public. this, of course, came as a huge shock. and william and i have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. as you can imagine, this has taken time. it has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. but most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to george, charlotte and louis in a way that's appropriate for them, and to reassure them that i'm going to be ok. as i've said to them, i am well and getting stronger every day

by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind, body and spirits. before the video message, this had been the last official footage of the princess of wales on christmas day at sandringham with her three children, who she is now so keen to protect. back in december, all had seemed well as she spoke to the crowds. thank you so much. that's very sweet of you to come and say hello to us. have a very happy christmas. three weeks later, she was admitted to hospital for major abdominal surgery. it was in her post—operative tests that signs of cancer were found. last night, buckingham palace issued a statement on behalf of the king. he said he was so proud of catherine for her courage in speaking as she did, and that he remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter in law throughout the past weeks.

he also said that he and the queen will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time. a message too from california. the relationship may still be strained, but the duke and duchess of sussex issued their own statement. harry and meghan said... but perhaps the most personal message of all came from the princess's brother on instagram. james middleton posted a childhood photo with his sister and wrote... the clamour for information about the princess's condition has been intense. this footage published earlier this week, filmed by a member of the public, showed her shopping in windsor with her husband last weekend.

and this photo released on mother's day, to ease some of the public speculation, did the opposite, with the princess issuing a statement to say she had made some edits to the image. a turning point appears to have been this thanksgiving service in windsor for king constantine of greece at the end of february. the rest of the royal family were there, but the prince of wales pulled out that morning very suddenly due to a personal matter. we now know this was around the time the princess was diagnosed and began her treatment. it has been an incredibly turbulent few weeks for the family. they now hope the speculation will stop as they spend time privately during the easter break. for now, the princess of wales wants time and space to deal with her diagnosis and recovery. daniela relph, bbc news. our royal correspondent sarah campbell is in windsor. good morning. first and foremost, a

lot of people hearing kate's message, her own message, will be mindful that at the heart of this, this is a family facing a very challenging time.— this is a family facing a very challenging time. yes, absolutely ri . ht. we challenging time. yes, absolutely right. we heard _ challenging time. yes, absolutely right. we heard there _ challenging time. yes, absolutely right. we heard there from - challenging time. yes, absolutely right. we heard there from the i right. we heard there from the report that she has been widely praised for coming out and for making this statement. i think it was very clear that after the last few weeks, there has been so much speculation, there has been so much rumour online, so the princess really clearly felt that she needed to come out there and directly address the public, and to provide information, provide clarity on the situation in her own words. and we have to remember she is very shy person, very private person, so one imagines this must have been pretty difficult for to do. as i say, she has been widely praised for doing so not least from the king, her father in law, he released a statement yesterday talking about her courage,

and also cancer charities, health charities yesterday, in the same way we saw after the king's diagnosis, saying that for somebody in such a public position to come forward and talk about this in such an open way is hugely helpful to people who may have received a similar diagnosis of themselves who are trying to process that information. and for her, think the line at the end of her statement where she said, please do not lose faith or hope, for everyone facing this disease, you are not alone. you referenced — this disease, you are not alone. you referenced absolutely how difficult it is for any family to deal with challenges that lie ahead and then you have the scrutiny that they have already been under and they will no doubt be under in the weeks ahead. they have asked for privacy and at the same time, the business of the royal family does the same time, the business of the royalfamily does go the same time, the business of the royal family does go on. there are royal engagements, obviously not for her, but that carries on. yes. her, but that carries on. yes, absolutely- — her, but that carries on. yes, absolutely. we _ her, but that carries on. yes, absolutely. we are _ her, but that carries on. yes, absolutely. we are in - her, but that carries on. yes, absolutely. we are in a - her, but that carries on. yes, i absolutely. we are in a situation now, you can't ignore the fact we

are in a situation where two senior members of the royal family are now effectively out of action in terms of public engagements. the king, let's remember, announced his diagnosis, that was announced by the palace on the 5th of february. he has continued his constitutional duties, his red boxes, audiences with the prime minister and the chancellor etc but he's not carrying out any public facing duties and now we have a where the princess of wales is out of action for the foreseeable, and certainly prince william as well, his priority now very clear from that statement, the priority for them and for their three children is to deal with this privately is a family, so we shouldn't expect to see prince william until the kids have gone back to school which will be in the middle of next month. so yes, this does mean that other members of the royalfamily will does mean that other members of the royal family will have to continue stepping up. we'd seen at the queen stepping up. we'd seen at the queen stepping out and taking over the king of�*s duties, she was in

northern ireland last week, but she is 76, there is only so much she can do. other members of the royal family, the princess royal, the duke and duchess of edinburgh, they will have to continue stepping up as well, so yes, very difficult time for the party at the moment clearly for the party at the moment clearly for the party at the moment clearly for the king and the princess of wales is to ensure that their recoveries continue.- wales is to ensure that their recoveries continue. sarah, thank ou. our political correspondent charlotte wright is on downing street. we have seen the prime minister sending best wishes to the princess. he and other party leaders have been doing that. he and other party leaders have been doin: that. , ., , he and other party leaders have been doin: that. , .,, i. he and other party leaders have been doin: that. , .,, ,, ., doing that. yes, as you would imagine. _ doing that. yes, as you would imagine, politicians _ doing that. yes, as you would imagine, politicians from - doing that. yes, as you would l imagine, politicians from across doing that. yes, as you would - imagine, politicians from across the political spectrum, across the country have been sending their well wishes to the princess of wales, hoping for a full and speedy recovery. led by the pro—minister who said that the princess of wales has the love and support of the whole country. —— the prime minister. she said she has shown tremendous bravery in the face of intense scrutiny. it's interesting,

he does devote quite a large part of his statement to that, saying she's been unfairly treated by certain sections of the media around the world and on social media, and in the statement he says, when it comes to matters of health, like everyone else, she must be afforded the privacy to focus on her treatment and be with her damning family. it's and be with her damning family. it's a desire theme that the labour leader sir keir starmer picked up on as well. he said any cancer diagnosis is shocking, but i can only imagine the added stress of receiving the news amid the lurid speculation we've seen in recent weeks. he said there are entitled to privacy, like any parents who have waited till the right moment to tell the children. he said he is heartened by our optimism and her message of faith and hope. so well wishes coming from politicians across the country and across the world but interesting to see some of them picking up on that speculation we have seen in those calls for privacy for the princess of wales

and herfamily. privacy for the princess of wales and her family.— privacy for the princess of wales and her family. charlotte, thanks very much- _ our health correspondent dominic hughesjoins us now. it's important, there are parts of this, quite rightly, overdiagnosis, that we are not being told, which is the nature of the cancer, which is quite right, some of this private. then we are told, i think a lot of people will be looking out of things up people will be looking out of things up like preventative chemotherapy. take us through what we have been told and explain some of that. chemotherapy, it is an umbrella term for drugs that target cancer cells. they destroy cancer cells, stop them reproducing, so stop them spreading through the body. it's not unusual after surgery for people to be given preventative chemotherapy, to either mop up any cancer cells might be remaining, orto mop up any cancer cells might be remaining, or to stop it coming back. so it is that, basically. we understand _ back. so it is that, basically. we understand the abdominal surgery she had, it wasn't for cancer.—

have been absolutely transformed. survival rates have improved massively, so it is right she should be optimistic and hopeful. dominic, thank ou be optimistic and hopeful. dominic, thank you very _ be optimistic and hopeful. dominic, thank you very much. _ you can get the latest on this and our other top stories on bbc.co.uk/news. some avenues 110w. “— some avenues 110w. —— other news. russian security services are hunting a group of gunmen who attacked a rock concert in moscow, leaving at least 60 people dead and more than 100 injured. it happened last night at the crocus city hall, on the outskirts of the city. the islamic state group has claimed responsibility. two weeks ago, the united states had warned about a threat from extremists targeting large gatherings in russia. a warning — this report by will vernon contains some images you may find distressing. gunfire. a rock concert that turned

showers to our shores and bringing in the cold air right across the board. so a blustery day to come today, lots of showers, most of them in the north and west. some of them will be wintry on the hills, we could see hail and thunder in a few of them across england and wales. even further north. the winds are a real feature, even further north. the winds are a realfeature, gale even further north. the winds are a real feature, gale force across scotland come up to 30 to a0 mph in the south. so despite the sunshine and temperatures showing 7 to 10, it might not feel like this when you factor in the wind, it will feel more like it to six celsius for many of us. as we head into tomorrow, it looks like we will see lighter winds, and increasing amounts of sunshine with sure showers. so it should be a touch warmer tomorrow. so not a bad weekend but certainly noticeably cooler. on yesterday's breakfast we saw the start of what's being called "march of the day" — which is an incredible feat

of endurance by a group of former footballers, and their friends and supporters, to help fight motor neurone disease. they're walking 178 miles over three days, visiting 19 football stadia. the walk began at bradford city's ground yesterday morning — it finishes at liverpool's anfield stadium tomorrow night, and right now they're at old trafford, home to manchester united. breakfast'sjohn maguire is there. i seen a lot of smiling faces, john, a very early in the morning behind you on a certain moment —— but on a saturday morning. in the midst of a bit of a challenge!— bit of a challenge! absolutely. i think they are _ bit of a challenge! absolutely. i think they are rictus _ bit of a challenge! absolutely. i think they are rictus grins i bit of a challenge! absolutely. i think they are rictus grins that i bit of a challenge! absolutely. i i think they are rictus grins that are frozen in place! good morning to the walkers. that was better than it was in the rehearsal when this gentleman was the only person that was responded! i think they are in fine paddle. they have done very well. one third of the way through, we have today and tomorrow to continue.

178 miles, quite the undertaking. it is football's way of fighting back against motor neurone disease in the name of stephen darby and marcus stewart. lots and lots of smiling faces, which is very good to see. the great cause, of course. we say all the time it about raising money, it's also about raising awareness. the clubs they are going to go to over the next couple of days, there would have to have people come along and give them a round of applause, staff doesn't have a lot of good news in the forecast but yes, people have smiling faces, which is the main thing. yesterday was a big day. 8am and the fans are gathering at valley parade to show their support for an important cause. this valley parade to show their support for an important cause.— for an important cause. this is ersonal for an important cause. this is personal for— for an important cause. this is personal for me. _ for an important cause. this is personal for me. my _ for an important cause. this is personal for me. my dad i for an important cause. this is personal for me. my dad has i for an important cause. this is i personal for me. my dad has mnd. it personalfor me. my dad has mnd. it is a cruel disease so any thing anybody can do to raise some money and for some research is beneficial.

i wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst i've been recovering from surgery. it has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family but i've had a fantastic medical team, who've taken great care of me, for which i'm so grateful. injanuary, i underwent major abdominal surgery in london and, at the time, it was thought that my condition was non—cancerous. the surgery was successful. however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. my medical team therefore advised that i should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and i'm now in the early stages of that treatment. this, of course, came as a huge shock, and william and i have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. as you can imagine, this has taken time.

it has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. but, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to george, charlotte and louis in a way that's appropriate for them, and to reassure them that i'm going to be ok. as i've said to them, i am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal — in my mind, body and spirit. having william by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too, as is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. it means so much to us both. we hope that you'll understand that as a family we now need some time, space and privacy while i complete my treatment. my work has always brought me a deep sense ofjoy, and i look forward to being back when i'm able. but, for now, i must focus on making a full recovery.

at this time, i'm also thinking of all those, whose lives have been affected by cancer. for everyone facing this disease, in whateverform, please do not lose faith or hope, you are not alone. world leaders have been offering their thoughts and support to the princess of wales. in the united states, presidentjoe biden took to social media to send his best wishes. he said: "jill and ijoin millions around the world in praying for your full recovery, princesss kate." his wifejill also added: "you are brave, and we love you." french president emmanuel macron also replied to the princess' statement, saying... "your highness, in this difficult period you are going through, brigitte and i wish you a full recovery." he added that her... "strength and resilience inspire us all." justin trudeau, the canadian prime minister, said: "my thoughts are with the princess of wales, her children, and the entire royal family following the news

of her cancer", which he says was "so courageously shared." he added that, on behalf of canadians, he was sending her his support as she undergoes treatment, saying... "we're all wishing her a swift recovery". and new zealand's prime minister, christopher luxon, said his country's "thoughts are with the princess of wales" this morning. he said that "kiwis across the world will be wishing her well in her recovery." last night's statement from the princess of wales also dominated news bulletins on tv and radio stations around the world, as our correspondent, emma vardy, reports. and we will begin with that breaking news from the royal family. this is an abc news special report. princess catherine has now revealed her personal health battle and why she kept it secret. after days of global speculation, kate's diagnosis became breaking news around the world. what impact will this have on the royalfamily, especially at a time when king charles... with the enormous international interest in the british monarchy, sending best wishes was first

on the agenda in the daily briefing at the white house. good afternoon, everyone. we just heard, obviously, all of usjust heard the terrible news and certainly we wish her a full recovery. it provides some clarity after a multitude of conspiracy theories on social media and worldwide concern over kate's whereabouts. everyone has really had a lot of questions because it seemed that there was something going on. but just seeing that today, my heartjust really went out. you know. — prayers from the usa or, you know, from all of us, because i think all of us have been touched by cancer with family members. so... to know what they're going through. yeah. the news again highlights prince harry and meghan's distance from the royal family since stepping back as working royals are moving to california. before the announcement, they were appearing at an event in la and, in a statement, said they wish a healthy recovery for kate and privacy. another british tradition, a remedy in difficult times, was being served as the news was debated at this new york cafe.

think, like, you know, regardless of whatever age you are, like, it's always, like, a devastating thing, you know, for your friends and family. and when you're a high profile person, i guess it's even harder. kate's popularity with audiences around the world means her well—being and recovery will continue to be followed closely. emma vardy, bbc news. good morning, mike. i havejust gone over the excitement of the men's six nations. the women's is a stand—alone tournament. and it is getting bigger and better, stand—alone tournament. and it is getting biggerand better, more competitive. all the home nations have professional players. they are trying to catch england and france. we saw record crowds, 58,000 at twickenham. five or six nations

recorded record home crowds. we are expecting bigger and better. i know it is not the most important thing. looking at the pictures, all the shots of the captains together, may be sending out a bit of a message. it is a nice picture, isn't it? good morning. just a week after the end of the men's six nations, the women's tournament gets under way this afternoon. you can follow wales's match against scotland on the bbc from 4:45pm. and that's after ireland kick the competition off, in france. defending champions england, once again big favourites, face italy tomorrow. jo currie reports. winning this trophy has become a habit for england. expected almost. commentator: england do it again. this year they're going for their sixth consecutive title — few teams have dominated a sport more. they begin their championship away in italy in what will be a memorable moment for skipper marlie packer. the plumber, turned world player of the year, is set to win

her 100th cap. i just want to get on that pitch and put my best performance in. every time i put on an england shirt, you never know when your last time is going to be. now it's come round to it, it's a bit crazy. like, i think of the players before me that have got 100 caps and i'm just like, "wow." yeah, it's pretty amazing. this year's tournament carries extra importance with the world cup next year. england and france have already booked their places, but there is one more guaranteed automatic qualification spot up for grabs in the six nations. which means there's a lot on the line for teams like wales and scotland. they begin their campaigns against each other here at cardiff arms park. last year, wales nabbed third spot, scotland weren't far behind in fourth. just even speaking about it now, it gives me goosebumps, thinking of a world cup. you know, i'm sure the girls and myself are going to work

really hard to make sure we get in that top three. you can't think that far ahead. it's so easy to it. and it would be obviously such a luxury if we could say that we qualified. but, if we focus on that, we'll get performances wrong and we'll have absolutely no opportunity of doing it. but yeah, i'd be lying if i said i hadn't thought about it. ireland picked up the wooden spoon last campaign. this time they begin with a tricky trip to france, who aren't exactly known for their warm welcome. commentator: france already | have the bonus point in the bank. for some of the younger girls coming into squad, it would be definitely an experience that maybe we'll have to prepare for. and then, for some of the older girls, i think it will be helping those younger girls relish the opportunity as opposed to the fear of it. players will have their names on the back of their shirts for the first time, whilst crowd records could once again be broken. but the big question... is anyone ready to dethrone england? jo currie, bbc news.

rugby union's premiership is back after a two—month pause due to the men's six nations. and there was a surprise defeat for premiership leaders northampton, who were soundly beaten 52 points to 21 by bristol. they ran in seven tries, each from different scorers, james dun claiming the bonus point winning fourth score. bristol move up to 6th. elsewhere, gloucester won at leicester for the first time in 16 years. they beat them at home last week. on to football. and it's not exactly the ideal build—up to the euros, for scotland, who have now, gone six games without a win, after being thrashed 4—0 by netherlands in a friendly in amsterdam, ahead of euro 2024. both sides have qualified for the tournament in germany. and scotland had been doing well until this thunderbolt from tijjani reijnders just before half—time. scotland did have a host of chances but missed them and were punished, conceding three more. the scots next host northern ireland in another friendly on tuesday. all the boys in there are angry —

they're disappointed. they're, you know, embarrassed at the fact that we played... you know. you look at it, large parts we played relatively well. and, you know, you look at the score line that's 4—0, which, you know, when you play as well as that for 60, 70 minutes, it can't happen, simple as that. ahead of that game, northern ireland, who aren't going to the euros, drew1—1 in romania. jamie reid scored on his international senior debut, the stevenage striker breaking the deadlock afterjust seven minutes. i really enjoyed tonight, but that's not the end of it. like, i want to kick on from here. i want to be able to play against different countries and be in different squads with the country here. the build—up to england's friendly with brazil tonight has been dominated by controversy over the st george's cross design on the back of the new kit. the fa say they are standing by the new design amid criticism. gareth southgate says having the three lions on the england shirt is "the most important thing." should we be tampering with the cross of st george? in my head, if it's not a red cross on a white background,

then it isn't the cross of st george anyway. so hard question to answer really, because it's presumably some artistic take on... which i'm not creative enough to understand, really. it's another grand prix weekend, the third of the season. this time in australia. you'll be able to follow tomorrow's big race on bbc radio 5 live and bbc sounds from 4am tomorrow. and then watch breakfast, of course! and, as for this morning's qualifying, i don't suppose you can guess. yes, of course, defending champion max verstappen claimed his third consecutive pole of the season, ahead of carloz sainz in second. the ferrari driver was returning to the team just two weeks after undergoing surgery on his appendix, when he was replaced by british teenager oliver bearman. lando norris the highest—placed british driver in fourth.

there's a big day of action at the miami open later with five britons in action. andy murray will finish his third round match later. his match, with argentinian tomas etcheverry, was abandoned in the first set, due to heavy rain which forced a seven—hour delay, meaning they'll finish today. in the challenge cup, wigan warriors beat sheffield eagles 44—18, to avenge their famous wembley 1998 challenge cup final loss to the eagles. st helens are also through to the quarterfinals after beating leeds rhinos 20—6. it's the second time in a week that saints have won at headingley, after a win in the super league last friday. finally, the former england manager sven—goran eriksson, will realise a lifelong ambition, this afternoon, when he takes charge of a liverpool legends side against dutch team ajax. eriksson revealed he had terminal cancer injanuary and now the lifelong liverpool fan, will get to lead out players like steven gerrard at anfield.

well, it's like a dream. and i could never have dreamt about that. but, when i was manager, i always dreamt about liverpool. but that never happened. it was close once. it was some discussion once. a lovely event. quite emotional for sven imagine the pride leading out his liverpool team. here's stav with a look at the weather. a lot of eyes will be on the weather. i hope no one else is accosted by giant flowers! irate weather. i hope no one else is accosted by giant flowers! we have been told to _ accosted by giant flowers! we have been told to put _

miles an hour, in excess of 50 in the north of scotland. on the thermometer temperatures seven to 10 degrees. factoring in the strong north—westerly wind it will feel more like these temperatures suggest. temperatures close to 19 celsius a couple of days ago. the north and west could see longer spells of rain across the north—east of scotland. lengthy and clear spells towards the end of the night. there is a ridge of high pressure building. temperatures are a bit higher, three to six celsius. less cold than last night. we had this ridge of high pressure, the wind is turning lighter into the second part of the weekend. here we will see most of the showers through the morning. in the afternoon the shower should ease down. good sunny spells around. slightly lighter winds were

like a man today. it should feel a little bit warmer. we should have nine to 12 on the board, a bit closer to what we expect for the time of year. low pressure is always close by, pushing on across the atlantic. then we could see a more substantial area of low pressure bringing rain and stronger winds. the run—up to easter will stay rather unsettled. very slowly, temperatures will be recovering but it will take a while. that is it. thank you. see you later on. we'll be back with the headlines at seven. time now for latest technology news, on this week's edition of click.

most of britain's nuclear power stations were built in the 19505 or �*60s and, at the time, very little thought went into what would happen to them when they reached the end of their useful life. and now, across the uk, many of them are in various stages of decommissioning. and chris vallance has been to dounreay in the far north of scotland to find out how its engineers are using robots to help in the process. the ruggedly beautiful and windswept coast of scotland. in the 19505, this remote spot was chosen as the test site for a new technology — fast breeder nuclear reactors, capable of producing more fuel than they consumed. the steel sphere is there for a reason. if things went seriously wrong inside, it's designed to contain any radioactive contamination.

the plant closed in the 19905 and is in the process of being decommissioned. it's a huge site, nearly 200 separate facilitie5, over a quarter of which contain a bewildering array of radioactive materials. dismantling dounreay is a huge challenge, but it's also become a test—bed for new technology. but before we can go inside and see it, we need to dress for the occasion. they've gone to get me a bigger size. chri5, welcome. this is the dounreay fa5t reactor. well, would you look at that? goodne55, what a thing! it's a big metal ball, a containment ball, that was built here away back in the �*505. it's a couple of inches thick of metal, 5ealed, that's housing a reactor that sits over here. and the reactor is slowly being taken down?

slowly decommi55ioned, ye5,. we want to put it back to what it was, previous to what it was in 1955. doing that will take a long time, but they do have help. you've probably seen these four—legged robots before. here, with the help of expert operators, spot has been used to map out areas of the plant and measure radiation levels — information that will be vital when it comes to taking it apart. but, for now, spot's mission is to take me to its owner. there we are. we've got spot, the boston dynamics' spot. why this robot for this place? why this robot? well, it's very, very common in the field of robotics to say that if a job is dull, dirty or dangerous, send a robot in.

he went into a fuel cell that hadn't been explored for 25 years. yeah. we don't have a whole lot of information about this facility before we go in. it's like going into another world, in terms of then having to explore that for the first time. so, you take your first tentative steps in there as the robot enters this completely unilluminated but highly complex environment. we're able to start building up this image of where the radiation is, so then, at the end of it, we can produce a 3d model that then gives the engineers just this amazing data set that informs how they're going to decommission this whole facility. it's interesting — spot is wearing protective clothing, like we're wearing protective clothing. yes. you see that on the film and you see it here. that's right. so, spot is currently in our contamination control suit. when spot has been put to work, has been used for... it was a period of five days, multiple deployments. at the end of that, we can then clean the suit,

we can remove the suit, and then spot is totally safe to then come away from site having got no contamination on it. operating an expensive robot inside a nuclear reactor is a bit nerve—racking, but surprisingly 5imple. ok, so this isju5t a regular tablet, isn't it? regular tablet, yep. so your left stick, if you move that forwards. so you push up like that? so you tap and push it upwards and the robot will move forward. it's the same for backwards as well. and then, if we turn this one to the side... which way? to the right is fine. over to the right, and then it rotates. that's amazing. good dog! they're proving very useful and they're very cute. but the decommi55ioning and clean up at dounreay is a huge task. i've got three nuclear reactor plants from the very dawn of the nuclear age. i've got a whole reprocessing plant for taking the fuel and di55olving it and reprocessing it and dealing

with the waste. i've got waste storage facilities that i have to transport the waste. so we have an awful lot of infrastructure that comes in lots of bits and pieces. decommissioning everything on the site will take decades, and it's been estimated it will be 300 years before the land is safe for re—use. well, that's for sort of the site is completely clear. the intermediate level waste has gone to long term repository. we think we'll have this place down — 40, 50 years is our latest estimate. but there's huge variability to that. nobody�*s ever done this, you know. i'm projecting things forward, we know how fast technology is developing. so we're really excited that the technology can help us. we've shown the benefit that these robotics can bring. i think that even if we look into the very immediate future, that it is absolutely credible within highly technical industries that we'll have robots walking round autonomously,

carrying out their missions, and people will see them just as business as usual. well, it's been a fascinating visit. when this place was built, it was pioneering nuclear technology, and now new technology is being used to help with the decommissioning and the clean up. it's time to leave... automated voice: measuring. ..but before i go, i have to make sure i don't take anything radioactive with me. monitoring complete. please leave. all clear. spotless, you might say. is this one of the most satisfying bits of tech to watch? but this 3d printer isn'tjust pleasing on the eye —

the walls it's creating have the potential to change our impact on the planet. so one of the big challenges of our city, miami, and all coastal cities, is rising sea levels and flooding. traditionally, cities have addressed this by building sea walls, which you see all around us, even here. the problem with traditional sea walls is that they destroy marine habitats. traditional sea walls leach chemicals, and very simply, they're flat. when you have a flat sea wall, the organisms that live by the coast, they can't attach to this flat surface, so they migrate. and there, they want to be eating all the toxins in the water. so once the sea life and the organisms migrate, no—one's there to eat the toxins and the quality of water goes down 50% within one year of installation. the challenge for kind designs was coming up with something that was economical for communities but will also enhance

the underwater ecosystem. and they think they've got it. these are the walls that you create. yeah. talk us through some of the features. ok, so there's three really important features why these walls are so great for marine life attachment. one, you have these little micro textures on the wall. and so, if you imagine a rock climber, if they're trying to climb on a flat wall, it's impossible, right? so, same for sea life attachment. then, just the nature of the 3d printing process, you have all of these layers — on the wall. so these layers are great, actually, for coral growth. and then, lastly, you're notjust having your kind of bottom of the food chain on these walls, but because of these caves, you get so much more biodiversity. so every species, their number one thing is that they want to survive, which makes sense. us, too. yeah, us included! and so, with these caves,

as you can see, they're really deep. i can put my whole arm in here. so that's where your larger organisms can hide from predators, and that's what really, really encourages sea life attachment and the amount of biodiversity that you couldn't get anywhere else but a natural coastal ecosystem. it takesjust under one hour for a wall panel to appear before us — much quicker than traditional moulding and setting of concrete. but this way of manufacturing also brings design flexibility. we have the highest—resolution 3d printer in the world, so our layers are one inch thick, which allows us to create this design or anything else. and so, since we're just producing in florida right now, we're keeping this design, but as we expand nationally and globally, we can alter our design to make it fit the coastal habitat in any region of the world. you're printing with concrete, which is still one of the most un—environmentally friendly

materials there is. are you looking at other materials, or is concrete the only answer here? we are using concrete because concrete sea walls are mandated in many areas. you can use vinyl sea walls — basically, plastic sea walls. the problem with them is microplastics are leaching in the water, so also a problem. and you can only use them in areas that are very low impact, like a river in orlando or lakes. the difference between traditional concrete and ours, is ours is nontoxic, so it doesn't leach. there's no chlorides, there's no metals, and it's also mixed at a 30% lower temperature than traditional concrete, further decreasing the carbon footprint. and that's just a starting point. as we democratise this product and have more of a margin, we will incorporate more and more components to our materials that keep pushing the limit on how environmentally friendly the concrete mix is.

this start—up are installing theirfirst walls in florida now. studying their impact will be vital in assessing if they make a positive difference and in what direction the designs will go next. and that's it for the short cut of this week's click. the full length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. thanks for watching. we shall be back next week. see you.

good morning, welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: reaction at home and abroad to the princess of wales' announcement that she's being treated for cancer. this, of course, came as a huge shock, and william and i have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. the king — who himself has cancer — expresses his pride at catherine's courage in speaking about her treatment. the prime minister leads an outpouring of support from across the globe —

and there have also been calls for the privacy for the princess to be respected as her treatment continues. gunfire a mass shooting at a concert in moscow — least 60 people are killed, and many more wounded. the islamic state group says it carried out the attack. translation: i heard gunshots, i saw the terrorists — translation: i heard gunshots, i saw the terrorists come _ translation: i heard gunshots, i saw the terrorists come in _ translation: i heard gunshots, i saw the terrorists come in and _ translation: i heard gunshots, i saw the terrorists come in and started i the terrorists come in and started shooting people. they threw petrol bombs and everything started burning. getting used to the warm weather over the past couple of weeks but things turning a lot colder for the next few days. a more chilly weekend in store for all areas with blustery winds, sunshine and showers. all the details for you a little later. it's saturday the 23rd of march. there's been an outpouring of support for the princess of wales

after she revealed she has cancer. in a video statement, catherine said the diagnosis came as a "huge shock" and that she's in the early stages of chemotherapy. kensington palace says it's confident the princess will make a full recovery. our royal correspondent daniela relph has more on this story. my medical team therefore advise that i... injanuaryi in january i underwent injanuary i underwent major abdominal surgery in london and at the time it was thought my condition was noncancerous. the surgery was successful for them however, tests after the operation found cancer has been present. personal, direct and vulnerable — a princess as we've never seen her before, speaking directly to the public. this, of course, came as a huge shock, and william and i have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. as you can imagine, this has taken time. it has taken me time to recoverfrom major surgery in order to start my treatment.

but most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to george, charlotte and louis in a way that's appropriate for them, and to reassure them that i'm going to be ok. as i've said to them, i am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind, body and spirit. before the video message, this had been the last official footage of the princess of wales — on christmas day at sandringham, with her three children, who she is now so keen to protect after going public with news of her diagnosis. back in december, all had seemed well as she spoke to the crowds. thank you so much. that's very sweet of you to come and say hello to us. have a very happy christmas. but three weeks later, she was admitted to hospital for major abdominal surgery. it was in her post—operative tests that signs of cancer were found. last night, buckingham palace issued

a statement on behalf of the king. he said he was so proud of catherine for her courage in speaking as she did, and that he remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter—in—law throughout the past weeks. he also said that he and the queen will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time. a message too from california. the relationship may still be strained, but the duke and duchess of sussex issued their own statement. harry and meghan said... but perhaps the most personal message of all came from the princess's brother on instagram. james middleton posted a childhood photo with his sister and wrote... the clamour for information about the princess's condition

has been intense. this footage published earlier this week, filmed by a member of the public, showed her shopping in windsor with her husband last weekend. and this photo released on mother's day, to ease some of the public speculation, did the opposite, with the princess issuing a statement to say she had made some edits to the image. a turning point appears to have been this thanksgiving service in windsor for king constantine of greece at the end of february. the rest of the royal family were there, but the prince of wales pulled out that morning very suddenly due to a personal matter. we now know this was around the time the princess was diagnosed and began her treatment. it has been an incredibly turbulent few weeks for the family. they now hope the speculation will stop as they spend time privately during the easter break. for now, the princess of wales wants time and space to deal with her diagnosis and recovery. daniela relph, bbc news.

our royal correspondent sarah campbell is in windsor. sarah, good morning. that message from the princess of wales, deeply personal, wasn't it? yes, good morning. deeply personal. catherine is a very private person, quite a shy person, we haven't seen her in that role before and certainly truly felt like, after all that's gone on, all the speculation that's been online, but she really wanted the opportunity to sit and directly address the public, and in her own words give the clarity in the situation, that is what she did in that statement. and the reaction has come from around the world, as you would expect. just looking through some of the social media messages. president biden. jill and ijoin

president biden. jill and i join millions president biden. jill and ijoin millions around the world and praying for your full recovery. they are still apparent to assist the princess of wales has shown extraordinary courage with her statement in which she expresses her concern for others. as of other similar sentiments praising her bravery for saying this. also others talking about the scrutiny she's been under and hoping that speculation will now come to an end. the one that i would flag up is the ceo of x, formerly twitter, a brave message delivered by princess kate with her signature grace. a request for privacy to protect her children and allow her to move forward without endless speculation seems like a reasonable request to respect. certainly, catherine now, the easter holidays are here, she will be with her children, she will be with her husband and they will be coming together, in her words, to find the time, space and privacy to deal with that cancer diagnosis. stand deal with that cancer diagnosis. and while that privacy is held,

meanwhile, the work of the royal family continues?— meanwhile, the work of the royal family continues? yes, absolutely riuht. let family continues? yes, absolutely right- let us _ family continues? yes, absolutely right. let us not _ family continues? yes, absolutely right. let us not forget _ family continues? yes, absolutely right. let us not forget that i family continues? yes, absolutely right. let us not forget that her. right. let us not forget that her father in law the king is also going through his own cancer treatment, that was announced earlier last month. so you do have this unprecedented situation where two senior members of an already smaller royalfamily are now senior members of an already smaller royal family are now effectively out of action foster we know the king is carrying on with his constitutional duties, the audiences, and going through the red boxes, but he is not able to carry out any public facing duties the moment. and we now going forward, certainly in the short term, prince william, who has, we now know, been carrying on in carrying out engagements while at the back of his mind in knowing what his wife is going through, but he will take a step back for the next few weeks, certainly until the children are back at school in the middle of next month, so he will not be out and about, he will be helping his wife and family. so yes, we have a situation where the queen has been stepping up, she's been filling that

void, other members of the family will continue to do so, but yes, unprecedented, two senior members of the royalfamily out unprecedented, two senior members of the royal family out of action for we don't know how long.- the royal family out of action for we don't know how long. sara, for the moment. _ we don't know how long. sara, for the moment, thank— we don't know how long. sara, for the moment, thank you _ we don't know how long. sara, for the moment, thank you very i we don't know how long. sara, for. the moment, thank you very much. our political correspondent charlotte wright is on downing street. charlotte, the prime minister and many other politicians reacting late into yesterday and this morning. yes, well wishes coming in from politicians across the country, across the political spectrum, across the political spectrum, across the political spectrum, across the world. led by the prime minister, who issued a statement shortly after the princess of wales revealed her diagnosis. in it he said that she has the love and support of the whole country as she continues her recovery. it was an interesting part of his statement as well, he said in recent weeks, she has been subjected to intense scrutiny and has been unfairly treated by certain sections of the media around the world and on social

media. so, interesting to see him particularly calling out sections of the media following that speculation we've seen in recent weeks. he added, when it comes to matters of health, like everyone else she might —— she must be afforded the privacy to focus on her treatment and be with her family. to focus on her treatment and be with herfamily. a similar sentiment from sir keir starmer. he said any cancer diagnosis is shocking, i can only imagine the added stress of receiving the news amid the lurid speculation, as he put it, that we have seen in recent weeks. he said their royal highnesses are entitled to privacy and like any parents will have waited to choose the right moment to tell their children. he also praised the optimism in the message of faith and hope in the princess of wales' message. so clearly, politicians from across the country and across the world sending their well wishes but interesting to see some of them pick up on the speculation we've seen in recent weeks in parts of the media and on social media, and those calls for pervasive of the family is the

any cancer cells that were not taken out during the initial surgery, or to prevent cancer cells from coming back after surgery. bud to prevent cancer cells from coming back after surgery.— back after surgery. and we have bein: back after surgery. and we have being very _ back after surgery. and we have being very careful— back after surgery. and we have being very careful to _ back after surgery. and we have being very careful to reference i back after surgery. and we have i being very careful to reference what she has told us, and quite rightly and naturally watch the cases remains private and so it should. yes, and everyone can relate to that. you think about the number of people who are affected by cancer in this country, it is just staggering. 3 million people, catherine, the king, they arejust 3 million people, catherine, the king, they are just some of the 3 million people in the uk living with cancer today. million people in the uk living with cancertoday. every million people in the uk living with cancer today. every day, 1000 people in the uk are given a diagnosis of cancer. one in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during our lifetimes. just astonishing. so that kind of message will affect everyone. everyone will be able to relate to that. i don't think there is anyone watching you will not know somebody either in the

gunfire, screaming a rock concert that turned into a massacre. thousands of people had gathered at the venue near moscow when gunmen broke in and began shooting. outside the hall, more casualties as the attackers gunned people down, apparently at random. panic ensued as people ran for the exits. soon, the whole building was ablaze. this is one of the largest and most popular music venues in russia. far from the city centre, security here would have been light. an easy target for the attackers. translation: i heard gunshots, i saw the terrorists come in - and started shooting people. they threw petrol bombs and everything started burning. helicopters were brought in to douse the flames. russia says this

was an act of terror. translation: investigators - are seizing weapons and ammunition from the crime scene, which are currently being examined. genetic fingerprint and ballistic examinations are being carried out on the evidence and specialists have begun to study recordings from cctv cameras. president putin has reportedly wished the injured a speedy recovery. the authorities haven't yet said whether any of the gunmen are still at large or who they believe is behind this brutal attack. but late last night, a branch of the islamic state group claimed responsibility for the killings. us officials say their intelligence confirms that. and earlier this month, the us government warned of possible terrorist attacks in moscow, specifically mentioning concerts. the state department put out a notice to all americans in moscow to avoid any large gathering — concerts, shopping malls,

anything like that. the deadliest attack in almost 20 years has shocked the nation. billboards across the russian capital are now showing this simple message — "we mourn." will vernon, bbc news. we're joined now by our russia editor, steve rosenberg. good morning, steve. i know it is mid—morning in moscow where you are. what updates if any are there, from the news agencies?— the news agencies? well, let's look at the cache — the news agencies? well, let's look at the cache of _ the news agencies? well, let's look at the cache of the _ the news agencies? well, let's look at the cache of the figures - the news agencies? well, let's look at the cache of the figures first. - at the cache of the figures first. at least 60 people were killed in this attack. —— read the casualty figures. the concern is the death toll will rise, possibly significantly. once the fire is completely extinguished, it has been burning in this concert hall night, then such teams will start to sift through the rubble in that hall, and the concern is that more bodies will be found. more than 100 people were wounded in the attack, they are in

hospitals, and really, the sense of shockis hospitals, and really, the sense of shock is palpable. the report there mentioned the electronic billboards with the words, we mourn, and i was driving home at 3am and all the billboards on my way home are showing this single candle burning and the words we mourn, and that is the case notjust in moscow but in towns and cities across russia. there is a sense of shock after what is the deadliest attack on russia 20 years. is the deadliest attack on russia 20 ears. ,, ., .., is the deadliest attack on russia 20 ears. ,, ., ., , ., years. steve, one can only imagine that the country _ years. steve, one can only imagine that the country will _ years. steve, one can only imagine that the country will be _ years. steve, one can only imagine that the country will be in - years. steve, one can only imagine that the country will be in shock, . that the country will be in shock, as they mourn, but the letters isation of this will happen swiftly and already there was early speculation as to who was behind it and we understand islamic state group has claimed responsibility, which the united states is saying it has intelligence to corroborate but no confirmation of that or

society, but that raises two really important questions. number one, did the united states pass on all the intelligence it had that some kind of attack, possibly an islamist attack, was being planned, was imminent? numbertwo, how did russia to that? did russia act on that information? because we saw last night, there was an attack, brutal attack on that concert hall deadly consequences.— attack on that concert hall deadly consequences. attack on that concert hall deadly conseuuences. . ,., , ., , ._ consequences. steve, some people may have seen some — consequences. steve, some people may have seen some harrowing _ consequences. steve, some people may have seen some harrowing images - consequences. steve, some people may have seen some harrowing images that. have seen some harrowing images that were taken by people inside that concert hall. could you take us a little bit concert hall. could you take us a little hit back in terms of what was happening, what was the event in the hall and how quickly people were made aware that something very bad made aware that something very had was occurring? this made aware that something very bad was occurring?— was occurring? this was a really prominent _ was occurring? this was a really prominent concert _ was occurring? this was a really prominent concert hall. - was occurring? this was a really prominent concert hall. it - was occurring? this was a really | prominent concert hall. it wasn't was occurring? this was a really i prominent concert hall. it wasn't in moscow itself, it was just a side, but a famous venue. several thousand people would have been there. they had come to watch a rock concert by

a group. just before the start of the gunmen, we don't know how many, possibly between three and six, burst into the auditorium and shots rang out. there was pandemonium. people rushed to the exit, tried to get out, some of the doors were closed, 100 people had to go down to the basement and went to be rescued there. then the gunmen apparently set the horse on fire, very soon the whole building, crocus city hall was engulfed in flames. —— they set the hall on fire. now the roof has collapsed. so really dramatic images. it must have been absolutely awful for people who were there at the time. the people who witnessed the time. the people who witnessed the shooting, the fire and ran for their lives. the shooting, the fire and ran for their lives-— the shooting, the fire and ran for their lives. steve, thank you very

much for bringing _ their lives. steve, thank you very much for bringing us _ their lives. steve, thank you very j much for bringing us up-to-date. much for bringing us up—to—date. steve rosenberg reported from moscow. the united nations secretary—general antonio guterres is expected to visit egypt's border with gaza today. the visit comes after israel said it would launch a ground offensive in the nearby city of rafah, where most of gaza's population has taken shelter. our correspondent mark lowen joins us now from jerusalem. mark, thank you very much. a lot of attention on what's happening. the un meanwhile, the real issue, what will be happening on the ground in rafah. , ., , will be happening on the ground in rafah. , . , ., rafah. yes, that is where an estimated — rafah. yes, that is where an estimated 1.5 _ rafah. yes, that is where an estimated 1.5 million - rafah. yes, that is where an estimated 1.5 million gazans rafah. yes, that is where an - estimated 1.5 million gazans are seeking shelter. more than half of the entire population of gaza. that is why there are these huge and growing international warnings towards israel's government not to send the military into rafah. the israel prime minister says he is prepared to dojust

israel prime minister says he is prepared to do just that in order to, in his words, completely destroy hamas but the us says there is an alternative way. antony blinken was in tel aviv yesterday trying to push his case with benjamin netanyahu to urge restraint and says that he has summoned an israeli delegation to washington next week to explain to the israelis an alternative way that the israelis an alternative way that the us believes it is impossible —— is possible to destroy hamas without going into rafah. but his words seems to fall on deaf ears because just after that meeting was finished, benjamin netanyahu released a video on x in which he said, told mr blinken that if the us does not support us, we will do it alone. the question is whether this is all rhetoric to try to up the pressure on hamas while peace talks are continuing in doha, whether it is a way for benjamin netanyahu to suggest that if everything fails, if the destruction of hamas fails, then washington would hear the blame for

that. wejust washington would hear the blame for that. we just don't know. but of course, a huge fear is that if the israeli military does go into rafah, the civilian toll and the atrocities could be huge. i think that is what antonio guterres will be talking about in this visit to the egyptian side of the border. he will also be pushing for a much bigger injection of aid across the border because thatis of aid across the border because that is where most of the aid is delivered, delivered through, but his voice too and will be drowned out by the missiles and strikes on the other side of the border. mark, for the moment, _ the other side of the border. mark, for the moment, thank _ the other side of the border. mark, for the moment, thank you - the other side of the border. mark, for the moment, thank you very . the other side of the border. mark, for the moment, thank you very much. here's stav with a look at the weather. another rainbow, so a mixture of weather today?— another rainbow, so a mixture of weather today? absolutely. a real mixture of sunshine _ weather today? absolutely. a real mixture of sunshine and _ weather today? absolutely. a real mixture of sunshine and showers. weather today? absolutely. a real. mixture of sunshine and showers this weekend. you are us notice the feel of the weather. we have been used to temperatures reaching close to 19 in the last couple of days. it will feel a lot colder today from a lot —— were a bit better tomorrow. the culprit, this area of low pressure

setting to the north of the uk, bringing strong north—westerly winds across the country. you can see lots of isobars there. the air source coming down there from iceland. so a chilly feel. it has been a chilly start of the morning. a lot of centring around, showers pretty much from the word go across scotland and northern ireland towards wales and south—west living there. we can see some hail and thunder across central and southern england and in towards scotland. those winds, 30 to a0 mph, in excess of 50 across northern scotland. temperatures 7 to 10 celsius on the thermometer. when you factor in these strong winds it will feel more like these temperatures suggest, dipping back into winter as opposed to spring. as we head into tomorrow, it does look like we will see lighter winds, fewer showers particularly across eastern areas, temperatures should be a little bit higher tomorrow. there should be more sunshine around. as we head into next week, on the run—up to

easter, it looks like it will stay quite unsettled unfortunately. very slowly the temperatures will be creeping up. more and that a little later. when 16—year—old eli crossley played a gig at glastonbury last year, he might have thought his wildest dreams had come true. well, it turns out there was more to come. eli, who has muscular dystrophy, has just performed at another major music festival, south by southwest, in texas — helped in part by a hi—tech suit which gives him physical support. nick kwek has the story. # tears on the sun.... # my name is eli crossley. i'm 16 years old. i am currently in year 12. i'm a musician. i'm singer in the band askew. we play a mixture of original music and cover songs. they're basically alljust my really good friends. and we just get together and kind of enjoy playing music.

and if we could do that as a job, that would be the dream. eli has duchenne muscular dystrophy, a progressive condition that gradually weakens his muscles. he was three and a half when he was diagnosed. and the doctors basically told us that he would be in a wheelchair by the age of nine or ten. and the life expectancy was early 205 and there was really very little that could be done. music, i think, kind of helped me forget about my condition and something that i just absolutely love. as each day passes and eli loses his mobility, he's been testing an assistive technology that has the potential to keep him playing music longer. and i can do this part... the smart suit aims to help with that arm function. it helps to lift your arms up and basicallyjust help you achieve some of the normal everyday things, such as brushing teeth, such as drinking water,

nick kwek, bbc news. great player! we will be back shortly. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. let's return now to the news that the princess of wales

is undergoing treatment for cancer. catherine revealed the diagnosis herself in a statement recorded on wednesday at windsor castle. i wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst i've been recovering from surgery. it has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family but i've had a fantastic medical team, who've taken great care of me, for which i'm so grateful. injanuary, i underwent major abdominal surgery in london and, at the time, it was thought that my condition was non—cancerous. the surgery was successful. however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. my medical team therefore advised that i should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and i'm now in the early stages of that treatment. this, of course, came as a huge shock, and william and i have been

doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. as you can imagine, this has taken time. it has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. but, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to george, charlotte and louis in a way that's appropriate for them, and to reassure them that i'm going to be ok. as i've said to them, i am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal — in my mind, body and spirit. having william by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too, as is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. it means so much to us both. we hope that you'll understand that as a family we now need some time, space and privacy while i complete my treatment. my work has always brought me a deep sense ofjoy,

and i look forward to being back when i'm able. but, for now, i must focus on making a full recovery. at this time, i'm also thinking of all those, whose lives have been affected by cancer. for everyone facing this disease, in whateverform, please do not lose faith or hope, you are not alone. there's been an outpouring of support from people all over the world, as well as charities and health organisations. the nhs chief executive, amanda pritchard, said she was "really sorry to hear this shocking news." and that she "knows how difficult a diagnosis and treatment can be for patients and theirfamilies." she added that "speaking out about it is really brave," and can "help others to get worrying signs and symptoms checked." ellie orton, from nhs charities, said she was "so sorry to hear about" the princess of wales' cancer diagnosis. she sent her their "best

wishes and thoughts," adding that they were in "admiration of her bravery and message of hope for everyone going through treatment for cancer." cancer research uk's chief executive michelle mitchell wished catherine a "swift recovery and return to good health." she went on to say that, "during this difficult time, it's important that the princess is given the time and space to focus on her treatment." let's hear how people in the uk have reacted to the news. i think she's actually been very brave to sort of set the record straight. and i'm hoping now that you will get some privacy for her and herfamily. we've probably all been through, you know, family members who've had cancer. we're always told these days to respect everyone. - be kind. and be kind and now's the time to do that for them. _ yeah. well, she seems to have been under the cosh for a while, but i hope

she recovers and also the king as well, i hope he recovers. i don't like to hear that somebody has got cancer in such a, - you know, young family. you know, - they're not going to understand fully all the implications. . it's very stressful. and obviously, you know, - we can only wish her the best. we're joined now by professor pat price, who is a clinical oncologist. morning to you. one thing which is important, those people who have not known people directly with cancer, they are on a learning curve. do you want to explain preventative chemo. the princess of wales has told us thatis the princess of wales has told us that is what she is having now. that is chemo just _ that is what she is having now. that is chemo just in _ that is what she is having now. that is chemo just in case. _ that is what she is having now. trust is chemojust in case. she has had surgery and the tumour has been taken out, it has gone. there may be

so all these medications in red, they are either out of stock or they are over drug tariff price or the price that nhs pays us. so what does that mean for you? it means if i order this medication, we will lose money on them. so you pay how much? we pay £5.20 and they pay us around £3.a7. so you're losing about £1.80 on each bottle. each bottle. not all pharmacists can or will supply medicines if they risk losing money. nick millwood needs an antibiotic for his mother. went to the chemist right next door to her and they said they didn't have any in stock and hadn't been able to get any for three weeks. and another one i've just been to. and hopefully this place does. 0h, fantastic. there we go. 0k. thank you very much. imagine an ancient crash rust... a retired teacher, now a poet, simon kew, has parkinson's. he hopes his medication

will help him continue to write. the pharmacist ordered it despite the cost. i was conscious that i wanted to get the medication in any which way i could. and then i also felt guilty because i felt, who else needs this? you know, this, this... this one box, and i'm wanting it. so it made me feel conflictual. when prices increase, the department of health says it gives money back to pharmacies, but it's not always enough. for the last 12 months, i haven't had a salary myself. i couldn't pay myself. as a pharmacist, i'm working here forfree. i work probably 60 hours a week and i don't get anything out of it. so why do you carry on? i don't have any other options. to increase profit, the pharmacy has a post office and offers earwax removal, providing services that gps struggle to offer. we are asked to do more stuff

with being paid exactly the same. and another thing is that we don't have any suspension either. we don't have absolutely any benefit. the department of health says community pharmacies play a vital role and four in five people can reach one within a 20—minute walk. but pharmacists say many are at risk of closure, making it harder for people like simon to get the drugs they need. nikki fox, bbc news. my my kids here. what is going on? —— mike is here. scotland qualified, going through dress rehearsals. they have the honour of opening up the tournament. at the moment they are on a bit of a bad tournament. at the moment they are on a bit of a had run. they are saving themselves when it really matters. it's not exactly the ideal

build up to the euros, for scotland, who have now, gone six games without a win, after being thrashed a—0 by netherlands, in a friendly in amsterdam, ahead of euro 202a. both sides have qualified for the tournament in germany. and scotland had been doing well until this thunderbolt scotland did have a host of chances, but missed them and were punished another friendly on tuesday. if we play like we did for the majority of the game, we will do that. as much as there are positives to take, the overall feeling is of angen ahead of that game, northern ireland, who aren't going to the euros, drewi—i in romania. jamie reid scored on his international senior debut, afterjust seven minutes.

he has gone from national league south to scoring on the international stage. just a week after the end of the men's six nations, the women's tournament gets underway this afternoon. ireland kick the competition off, in france. defending champions england, once again big favourites, face italy tomorrow. but this afternoon wales face scotland, live on the bbc, with both hoping to finish third, and qualify for next year's world cup. just speaking about it now gives me goose bumps. thinking about world cup. i am sure we will work really hard to make sure we get in the top three. ., , hard to make sure we get in the top three. ., ., hard to make sure we get in the top three. ._ ., ., , ., hard to make sure we get in the top three. ., ., , ., ., three. the way our games are and the are three. the way our games are and they are spaced — three. the way our games are and they are spaced out. _ three. the way our games are and they are spaced out. wales - three. the way our games are and they are spaced out. wales v10 i they are spaced out. wales v10 france — they are spaced out. wales v10 france and england. there are a few banana _ france and england. there are a few banana skins— france and england. there are a few banana skins in their early doors we have to _ banana skins in their early doors we have to focus on. we had to focus on that info_ have to focus on. we had to focus on that info ultimately we want to achieve — that info ultimately we want to achieve by qualifying for the next world _ achieve by qualifying for the next world cup. i would be lying if i

duplicating what's on other channels, does the bbc provide enough choice for audiences? over the past year, many of you have been giving us your feedback on the bbc news channel and much of it has focused on whether uk audiences get a good deal from a service which, for the majority of the day, is also serving viewers around the world and, in evening and night time hours, is presented from washington and singapore. take the occasion a few weeks ago when the transmission of the news at ten on bbc one was delayed by almost an hour because of an overrunning football match. viewer graham hill turned instead to the news channel at 10 o'clock, hoping to find a summary of the day's news here in britain, only to find it was broadcasting world news america, targeted at an audience abroad. i can't understand why you didn't move bbc news at ten

from bbc one to the news channel so that we could watch the bbc news. by doing that, people would still be able to watch football and the americans would be able to watch their version of your world news as well. this is really frustrating. perhaps somebody can do something about it. other viewers have also told us they are frustrated not to find a dedicated uk news service when they tune into the news channel, especially at night. here's roger brooks. and wendy o'neil e—mailed about priorities.

well, with me for most of this week's programme is paul royle, who runs the bbc news channel. thank you for coming on newswatch. you are sometimes running the same stream, sometimes it's split into uk and international. how differently are you running it now compared to when it launched a year ago? actually, it follows the model that we set out at the beginning. i think probably the main difference is we've developed the agility and the technology to break — to separate the feeds. as you say, there's a global feed, there's a uk feed. sometimes they're combined, sometimes they're separate. and i would say the main difference over the last year is a sort of greater speed and agility to separate the feeds as required, if there is, for example, a big uk story, which is highly relevant to uk audiences but not

necessarily to global audiences. a story like the post office inquiry. co—running the stream on that. something like that, yeah. now, viewers complained that they pay the licence fee, but for too much at the time they are not getting a news service that's targeted at them, they're getting a news service targeted at people abroad, who aren't paying the licence fee. i would say that from 0500 in the morning to 2300 in the evening uk time, we're broadcasting from london. bbc breakfast is on the uk feed of the news channel. the one, six and ten o'clock news are on on the uk feed of the news channel. newsnight is as well. there are other parts of the day where the feeds are separate. for example, 10:30 in the morning, where there's a separate uk feed to a global feed. also at 1:30, after the one o'clock news, at 5:30 as well. so there's quite a lot of points in the day, where we are actually offering a bespoke news service to uk viewers only.

as you pointed out, from 2300 and then through the night, we're broadcasting from singapore and from washington dc. so inevitably that has a wider global lens on the news, which some viewers and some parts of the audience appreciate and value. but those programmes are really doing the big significant stories of the day wherever they are in the world. and that can include uk stories of course as well. if we think about a bespoke uk news service, when the news at ten was delayed for a football match going into extra time, british viewers had nowhere to go anywhere on television to see the uk news. as a former editor of the 10:00 news, i'm very much in favour of winning goals inside 90 minutes, so i empathise with this, but a couple of things. sometimes it won't be operationally possible to run the 10:00 news twice. if, for example, they're due to go

on air on bbc one at, say, 20 to 11. it might not be possible to run it on the news channel only at 10:00 and then turn everything around to do it again. you know, just a few minutes later. we have done in the past when we've known a sporting event, say isn't going to finish till 11:00. we havejust run the uk 10:00 news on the news channel first of all, and then repeated it. so sometimes it has happened. and also world news america is a high class, world class, high quality news programme and i accept that that wasn't what he was expecting on that evening and he wanted a more tailored uk news programme but again it offers a big global lens on the world and that does include the big uk stories. a lot of complaints you'll know came in over the amount of live coverage of the international criminal court case brought by south africa for alleged genocide in gaza. the bbc didn't livestream the prosecution in the uk as much as they did the israeli defence case the next day. do you regret that?

we had a challenge on the first day because the uk stream was running the post office hearings, which as we can all remember, was, you know, a significant story in the uk at that point. the global feed was running live — the opening prosecution case at the 1c]. if you look at our coverage over the course of two days and of course live coverage is part of that but is really about —— but i'm talking about the live coverage. i mean, it's not whether there was coverage on both streams. it was if you're watching the live stream in the uk on the first day, you did not get the level of coverage of the prosecution case that you then got the next day watching the defence case. of course, in an ideal world, we'd be able to do everything we wanted to in terms of live and putting on all our platforms and being able to deliver that. there is a resourcing issue at times when we try and do that. and in that particular case of course, it would have been better to have had equal live coverage for uk audiences.

but i would point to the totality of the coverage over the two days and obviously we've been through this and i would point to the totality of the coverage over the two days in terms of live coverage, the packaging, the interviews and so forth. and that tells a slightly different picture. right. we're going to move on to another aspect of the news channel now, so bear with us. so another program simulcast on the news channel is bbc two's newsnight. but there's often a problem with the way the channel transitions into that programme from the weather at the end of the news at ten, which it's just been showing. take these four examples from consecutive days last week and into next week. pretty much every weather icon... but it stays chilly... for england and wales, - there will still be some rain and drizzle...

the response of craig hamilton. we've got to say, when you see four consecutive nights like that, people are wondering why you haven't got that right yet. so, on paper, that junction should work. the ten o'clock news on paperfinishes before newsnight goes on air. but news is a dynamic and happening situation, and sometimes the ten o'clock news might go

beyond the start of newsnight. and we have those situations where we have a really difficult junction for our teams to deal with. and actually, those examples show we need to get a lot, lot better that we have come up with what we hope is a more standardised, cleanerjunction that we're going to start deploying next week, which we hope will give viewers a much cleanerjourney from the end of the ten o'clock news to the start of newsnight. but i accept it's not a greatjunction. it needs to be better. and like i said, for staff, it's a really, really difficult thing to deal with. so we need to improve on that. thank you, paul. on to our next topic now. if some viewers find those junctions between programmes messy, others complain of sloppiness in a different area. in the text that appears on screen. we featured twice recently typos and spelling mistakes on the read news banner or the scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen. five hours after its first appearance.

jim put errors like this down to a reduction in the numbers of experienced staff. it's about time the bbc found the resources to fund a proper uk news channel. i suspect the channel is losing viewers each day because of the quality of the output. there are so many of these sloppy mistakes appearing now and viewers think they're increasing and they think that budget cuts and the loss of experienced staff is to blame. they're right, aren't they? no, i'd actually say they're decreasing. and, clearly the examples you've shown aren't good enough. but we have put in place a new structure and staffing around text production on screen. and so while there have been mistakes, i would say that actually they've been... since we've done that, they have actually been reducing. so not good enough. we need to improve at that, but we have taken steps of measures to get on top of it. paul royle, thank you very much for coming on newswatch and dealing with these questions. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news,

on tv, radio, online and social media, e—mail newswatch at bbc.co.uk or you can find us on x, formerly known as twitter at newswatch bbc. you can call us on 03700106676 and do have a look at previous interviews on our website, bbc.co.uk/newswatch. that's all from us for now. thank you forjoining us. and do you think about getting in touch and perhaps even coming on the programme? we are off air next week over easter, but we'll be back to hear more of your thoughts about how the bbc covers the news in a fortnight. goodbye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today... reaction — at home and abroad — to the princess of wales' announcement that she's being treated for cancer this, of course, came as a huge shock, and william and i have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.

the king — who himself has cancer — expresses his pride at catherine's courage in speaking about her treatment the prime minister leads an outpuring of support from across the globe — but there have also been calls for the privacy for the princess to be respected as her treatment continues. gunfire. a mass shooting at a concert in moscow — least 60 people are killed, and many more wounded. the islamic state group says it carried out the attack. translation: i heard gunshots, i saw the terrorists come in and started - shooting people. they threw petrol bombs and everything started burning. in sport, they're getting ready to rumble in the women's six nations. it's expected to be the most competitive and most—watched ever, but can anybody stop england claiming the title for a sixth consecutive year?

we are here at salford city fc for the latest leg in the work against motor neurone disease. good morning. we are getting used to the warm weather over the last couple of weeks but things are turning colder for the next few days. a chilly weekend in store it with blustery winds, sunshine and showers. all of the details coming up. it's saturday the 23rd of march. our main story. there's been an outpouring of support for the princess of wales after she revealed she has cancer. in a video statement, catherine said the diagnosis came as a "huge shock" and that she's in the early stages of chemotherapy. kensington palace says it's confident the princess will make a full recovery. our royal correspondent daniela relph has more on this story.

my medical team therefore advise that i... personal, direct and vulnerable — a princess as we've never seen her before, speaking directly to the public. this, of course, came as a huge shock. and william and i have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. as you can imagine, this has taken time. it has taken me time to recoverfrom major surgery in order to start my treatment. but most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to george, charlotte and louis in a way that's appropriate for them, and to reassure them that i'm going to be ok. as i've said to them, i am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind, body and spirits. before the video message, this had been the last official footage of the princess of wales

on christmas day at sandringham with her three children, who she is now so keen to protect. after going public with news of her diagnosis back in december, all had seemed well as she spoke to the crowds. thank you so much. that's very sweet of you to come and say hello to us. have a very happy christmas. three weeks later, she was admitted to hospital for major abdominal surgery. it was in her post—operative tests that signs of cancer were found. last night, buckingham palace issued a statement on behalf of the king. he said he was so proud of catherine for her courage in speaking as she did, and that he remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter in law throughout the past weeks. he also said that he and the queen will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time. a message too from california. the relationship may still be strained, but the duke and duchess of sussex

issued their own statement. harry and meghan said... we wish health and healing for kate and the family and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace. but perhaps the most personal message of all came from the princess's brother on instagram. james middleton posted a childhood photo with his sister and wrote... the clamour for information about the princess's condition has been intense. this footage published earlier this week, filmed by a member of the public, showed her shopping in windsor with her husband last weekend. and this photo released on mother's day, to ease some of the public speculation, did the opposite, with the princess issuing a statement to say she had made some edits to the image. a turning point appears to have been this thanksgiving service in windsor for king constantine of greece at the end of february.

the rest of the royal family were there, but the prince of wales pulled out that morning very suddenly due to a personal matter. we now know this was around the time the princess was diagnosed and began her treatment. it has been an incredibly turbulent few weeks for the family. they now hope the speculation will stop as they spend time privately during the easter break. for now, the princess of wales wants time and space to deal with her diagnosis and recovery. daniela relph, bbc news. prime minister rishi sunak responded to the news by saying the princess of wales had shown "tremendous bravery", adding that she should now be afforded privacy to focus on her treatment. he added in a statement that, "in recent weeks she had been subjected to intense scrutiny and unfairly treated by certain sections of the media around the world and on social

media" those comments were echoed by the leader of the labour party sir keir starmer who said... our royal correspondent sarah campbell is in windsor. good morning. really interesting to hear the princess of wales and her message because at the heart of everything played out under such scrutiny is a very personal message about a family facing such a real challenge. about a family facing such a real challenue. , ., about a family facing such a real challenge-— about a family facing such a real challenue. , ., ~ ., . challenge. yes, and we know that beafina challenge. yes, and we know that bearin: in challenge. yes, and we know that bearing in mind _ challenge. yes, and we know that bearing in mind one _ challenge. yes, and we know that bearing in mind one and - challenge. yes, and we know that bearing in mind one and two - challenge. yes, and we know that bearing in mind one and two of. challenge. yes, and we know that bearing in mind one and two of us challenge. yes, and we know that i bearing in mind one and two of us in our lifetime — bearing in mind one and two of us in our lifetime will be diagnosed with cancer— our lifetime will be diagnosed with cancer we — our lifetime will be diagnosed with cancer we know this is a scenario playing _ cancer we know this is a scenario playing out— cancer we know this is a scenario playing out in households across the uk and _ playing out in households across the uk and the — playing out in households across the uk and the world all the time. just because _ uk and the world all the time. just because they are members of the royal— because they are members of the royal family it does not make them

turned into a massacre. dozens of people had gathered at the venue near moscow when gunmen broke in and began shooting. outside the hall, more casualties as the attacker is gunned people down, apparently at random. panic ensued as people ran for the exits. soon, the whole building was ablaze. this is one of the largest and most popular music venues in russia. far from the city centre, security here would have been light. an easy target for the attackers. translation: i heard gunshots, so the terrorists come in - and started shooting people. they threw petrol bombs and everything started burning. helicopters were brought in to douse the flames. russia says this was an act of terror. translation: investigators - are seizing weapons and ammunition from the crime scene which are currently being examined.

has been set up in gaza to help those injured by israel's military campaign. it's been built north of rafah, where israel has pledged to carry out a ground offensive imminently. our international correspondent orla guerin sent this report. wheeled through the chaos. 12—year—old anis, another young victim of israel's assault on gaza. he is on his way to surgery in al axa hospital, a team from uk med standing by. so, without the patient with a femoral fracture. he is a very brave boy. so, let's go. anas says he was playing when his neighbourhood was bombed. he was injured and his mother and six—month—old baby brother were killed. "may god have mercy on their souls", he says. the surgery goes well.

it is one iof hundreds the team have performed at the hospital. for they have been faced with desperate need are some of the worst war can do. i have worked on many war zones over the past nine years and at what shocks me about this particular context is the number of children injured that we are seeing, and the extent of the injuries. they are life changing injuries. with gaza's hospitals overwhelmed and under israeli attack, the uk team have been building a new facility. it is in the desert sands north of rafah. they got started with local timber from destroyed buildings, when theirfield hospital was held up at the border.

it took a lot of negotiation to get land, and to get things across the border. it has been a challenge to find staff, challenge to communicate, none of the phones work, the internet doesn't work, and everything somehow has to be made to work in order to bring essential urgent life—saving services. they are already seeing about 100 outpatients a day here, and they expect to double that soon. the doctors are ready to treat everything from minor illnesses to gunshot wounds. and if israel carries out a ground invasion of rafah, as it is threatening to do, this field hospital could be crucial. orla guerin, bbc news, jerusalem. it is 8:21am. here is stav danaos with the weather, telling us about what's going to happen for all of

with the renters reform bill set to deliver a fairer private rented sector but for those trying to build a life in rural areas, all that matters is a place to call home. one of the masterpieces of the uk's canal system is celebrating a huge milestone this weekend. bingley five rise locks — on the leeds—liverpool canal — opened exactly 250 years ago. thousands gathered to watch that official opening back in 177a — and the locks are still attracting fans and visitors today, as nicola rees reports. engineering that stood the test of time. for 250 yea rs boats have passed through bingley exactly like this. slow down. itjust going to keep us out and everything. the five locks operate

as a staircase along the leeds and liverpool canal. they're the steepest in britain and a special part of our history. it's amazing approaching it from the water because you see it open up in front of you and you think, my goodness, look at the scale of this. how on earth they build that? it's awe inspiring. so opening the paddle, you need a bit of strength because it's not easy. for volunteer lock keepers like paul ashton this is a magical place. 250 years ago, probably to the very, very minute somebody else was turning this, this, this puddle and letting the first boat down. you never get away from the feeling that you're in the middle of something that is very, very special. it takes 30 minutes to get a boat down through the locks and a5 to get back up. but for those who love the water, the pleasure is in the process. so we're inside the second lock chamber now. how amazing is that?

and if you just look around, everything you see here was built by hand 250 years ago by people using horses and pulleys. it's just incredible. the gates are huge. they weigh six tonnes. they're about to open and take us into the third chamber. this is very cool. if you think that every stone that's around us was cooked by hand by hand and placed in 177a without the aid of any mechanical diggers or cranes. it's just absolutely phenomenal. 250 years ago, there was 30,000 people there to watch these locks be initiated and they were actually firing cannon artillery coming off. that were a massive day 250 years ago.

it's grade one listed that puts it in the top two and a half percent of listed structures in the country, same level of protection as york minster and buckingham palace. so it's very, very unique. whether you're a boater, a walker or a cyclist, there's as much to appreciate today as there was back then. the bingley five rise locks are a true wonder of the nation's waterways. nicola reece, bbc news. it's sort of fascinating, isn't it, the business of canals and thinking they built that so long ago and there it is still working. stand there it is still working. and fi . urin . there it is still working. and figuring out _ there it is still working. and figuring out how _ there it is still working. and figuring out how the locks work as well. we will be back shortly with the sport.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. let's return now to the news that the princess of wales is undergoing treatment for cancer. catherine revealed the diagnosis herself, in a statement recorded on wednesday at windsor castle. injanuary, i underwent major abdominal surgery in london and, at the time, it was thought that my condition was non—cancerous. the surgery was successful. however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. my medical team therefore advised that i should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and i'm now in the early stages of that treatment.

this, of course, came as a huge shock, and william and i have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. as you can imagine, this has taken time. it has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. but, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to george, charlotte and louis in a way that's appropriate for them, and to reassure them that i'm going to be ok. as i've said to them, i am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal — in my mind, body and spirit. having william by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too, as is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. it means so much to us both. there was an overwhelming outpouring of support following that statement from the princess of wales.

some who wished her well have also had cancer. actress olivia munn, who recently disclosed her own breast cancer diagnosis, commented on the post on instagram, saying: "thank you for showing what it s like to fight with grace and determination for yourself and for yourfamily. wishing you all the best." while strictly�*s amy dowden, who underwent chemotherapy for breast cancer last year, says she's been "hit hard" by catherine's cancer diagnosis. she said she was "lucky enough" to meet the princess of wales during her treatment, saying she was "so kind, supportive, and generous of time". she added that she sends her "well wishes" with the treatment ahead. american journalist katie couric revealed she had breast cancer in september 2022, and also took to social media to say "as someone who has experienced cancer", she was "deeply moved by her comments". and sent the family "healing thoughts". as we heard in catherine's statement, she and prince william have thought carefully about how to explain her illness to their young children. someone, who has experience of this is steve bland, whose late wife rachael

was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 — and went on to co—found the bbc podcast "you, me and the big c". steve joins us now. morning to you. can i ask your thoughts on watching the princess making her statement in the scrutiny she is under? just a thought about that. tt she is under? just a thought about that. , ., she is under? just a thought about that. , . , . ~' she is under? just a thought about that. , . , . ,, ., that. it is a stark reminder that actually cancer _ that. it is a stark reminder that actually cancer is _ that. it is a stark reminder that actually cancer is so _ actually cancer is so indiscriminate. whether you are a princess, a king, whoever you are, one in macro will get cancer at some point our lives. —— won in two of us. i am sure yesterday we saw people googling symptoms of cancer very generally. she did not say what sort of cancer she had. it is

incredibly brave to be so open and honest about it. i am sure it will have helped a lot of people. just a reminder of how indiscriminate cancer is. ~ , cancer is. absolutely true. i suppose — cancer is. absolutely true. i suppose you _ cancer is. absolutely true. i suppose you will _ cancer is. absolutely true. i suppose you will no - cancer is. absolutely true. i suppose you will no more i cancer is. absolutely true. i i suppose you will no more than cancer is. absolutely true. i - suppose you will no more than most of us about the notion of having a diagnosis like this when you are a public figure. hers is obviously a very extreme scenario, the scrutiny she is under. having that to deal with alongside navigating yourself to make your own emotions make your own health and those of your immediate family, the people you care most for.— care most for. yes. it was a little bit different _ care most for. yes. it was a little bit different for _ care most for. yes. it was a little bit different for us. _ care most for. yes. it was a little bit different for us. the - care most for. yes. it was a little bit different for us. the scrutiny. bit different for us. the scrutiny and the attention was a little bit surprising in a way, for us. rachel, obviously, not anything like the same level of attention and interest

as princess catherine. what is amazing with cancer, even though we perceive had to be in a really privileged position, the emotions, the terror, the fear, the loneliness and pain of a cancer diagnosis will be exactly the same for her as it was for rachel and anyone else diagnosed with cancer. the attention, for me personally, it was very difficult to deal with. as we got used to it, we realised that it was really important as a tool. every time, we saw it with the wonderful deborahjames when she died, all the way through her treatment. the level of interest we can generate in cancer broadly but individual cancers as well,

increasing the awareness of symptoms to actually help save some lives. there is more awareness of these symptoms, the earlier we can diagnose cancer. early on as is the key. ifound it difficult diagnose cancer. early on as is the key. i found it difficult to navigate. once we embrace the attention, we found we could do some good with it. it still does not change... it is an incredibly lonely place. even though she has the eyes of the world on her, it is very typical in the early stages particularly. typical in the early stages particularly-— typical in the early stages particularly. typical in the early stages articularl . ., , particularly. good morning. there is also the issue _ particularly. good morning. there is also the issue she _ particularly. good morning. there is also the issue she made _ particularly. good morning. there is also the issue she made very - particularly. good morning. there is also the issue she made very clear, | also the issue she made very clear, princess catherine made very clear, that her and prince william wanted time to tell their children and

explain to their children. we understand they have left school for the easter holidays are navigating how children understand such a diagnosis. how children understand such a diaunosis. , ., , ., how children understand such a diaunosis. , . , ., , diagnosis. this was a big thing for us. their children _ diagnosis. this was a big thing for us. their children were _ diagnosis. this was a big thing for us. their children were a - diagnosis. this was a big thing for us. their children were a little i diagnosis. this was a big thing for us. their children were a little bit| us. their children were a little bit older than freddie was when rachel was ill. he was only two when she died a week before his third birthday, sorry. ithink died a week before his third birthday, sorry. i think that children are a little bit older. we found with freddie, as he got older, he is eight years old now, he has started to ask more questions. the children are five, eight and ten, i think. they are at an age when they will want to be asking questions. i think we found honesty was the best way forwards. that is not for everybody. i know people who went through treatment and two days after each chemotherapy session they would stay with a friend. the impact of

that chemotherapy was so difficult, they wanted to keep away from the kids. they did not really talk to their children about it at all. we found honesty was the best way forward. that extended into after rachel died talking to freddie about life and death and cancer and not trying to fluff it up, not trying to make it sound like it was all right or in any way our fault or money's fault. just be as honest as possible. family is remarkably resilient. it does take time for the whole family to get your head around the impact of a diagnosis. like i said, that is the same whether you are the king, the princess or anyone else. ., . . are the king, the princess or anyone else. ., ., ., ., , else. you have alluded to this, there is no _ else. you have alluded to this, there is no right _ else. you have alluded to this, there is no right or— else. you have alluded to this, there is no right or wrong i else. you have alluded to this, there is no right or wrong way| else. you have alluded to this, i there is no right or wrong way to cope with cancer. you have got to do

it in a way that works for you and your family. it in a way that works for you and your family-— it in a way that works for you and your family. that is exactly right. some people _ your family. that is exactly right. some people will _ your family. that is exactly right. some people will choose - your family. that is exactly right. some people will choose to i your family. that is exactly right. some people will choose to be i your family. that is exactly right. i some people will choose to be very public. there will be people, very well known people going through cancer at the moment who are not being public about it. we do now because we see it time and again that when very well known people to talk about their cancer diagnosis, we do see increases in people going to look for symptoms, increases in referrals to hospitals. more people to come forward with symptoms. while it is absolutely not everyone it is a very personal choice, there is enormous benefit for the population when this kind of thing happens. early diagnosis is absolutely key. we have so many amazing treatments

and surgical techniques in chemotherapy, immunotherapy. as soon as we can get people into the system the better. things like this do make a difference. the better. things like this do make a difference-— a difference. really good to talk to ou. a difference. really good to talk to you- thank — a difference. really good to talk to you- thank you _ a difference. really good to talk to you. thank you so _ a difference. really good to talk to you. thank you so much. - a difference. really good to talk to you. thank you so much. one i a difference. really good to talk to you. thank you so much. one of. a difference. really good to talk to l you. thank you so much. one of the hosts of the year me and the big c podcast. do you know what i am thinking? i suspect with the six nations and the men's tournament, a lot of people came to that tournament may be new to rugby and, boy, did it deliver! i wonder if there is a knock over. they should be the most competitive women's six nations ever. england are reigning champions for a number of years now. more people watching. bigger crowds and bigger atmospheres

than ever before. good morning. just a week after the end of the men's six nations, the women's tournament gets under way this afternoon. you can follow wales's match against scotland on the bbc, from a.a5pm, and that's after ireland kick the competition off in france. defending champions england, once again big favourites, face italy tomorrow. jo currie reports. winning this trophy has become a habit for england. expected almost. commentator: england do it again. this year they're going for their sixth consecutive title — few teams have dominated a sport more. they begin their championship away in italy in what will be a memorable moment for skipper marlie packer. the plumber, turned world player of the year, is set to win her 100th cap. i just want to get on that pitch and put my best performance in. every time i put on an england shirt, you never know when your last time is going to be. now it's come round to it, it's a bit crazy. like, i think of the players before me that have got 100 caps and i'm just like, "wow."

yeah, it's pretty amazing. this year's tournament carries extra importance with the world cup next year. england and france have already booked their places, but there is one more guaranteed automatic qualification spot up for grabs in the six nations... ..which means there's a lot on the line for teams like wales and scotland. they begin their campaigns against each other here at cardiff arms park. last year, wales nabbed third spot, scotland weren't far behind in fourth. just even speaking about it now, it gives me goosebumps, thinking of a world cup. you know, i'm sure the girls and myself are going to work really hard to make sure we get in that top three. you can't think that far ahead. it's so easy to and it would he obviously such a luxury if we could say that we qualified. but, if we focus on that, we'll get performances wrong and we'll have absolutely no opportunity of doing it. but yeah, i'd be lying if i said

i hadn't thought about it. ireland picked up the wooden spoon last campaign. this time they begin with a tricky trip to france, who aren't exactly known for their warm welcome. commentator: france already | have the bonus point in the bank. for some of the younger girls coming into squad, it would be definitely an experience that maybe we'll have to prepare for. and then, for some of the older girls, i think it will be helping those younger girls relish the opportunity as opposed to the fear of it. players will have their names on the back of their shirts for the first time, whilst crowd records could once again be broken. but the big question... is anyone ready to dethrone england? jo currie, bbc news. the men's premiership is back, after a two—month pause due to the men's six nations. later, second place harlequins travel to fourth place saracens, with just a point separating them in the table as it stands, with exeter, who are fifth, take on newcastle falcons. there was a surprise defeat

for premiership leaders northampton, who were soundly beaten 52 points to 21 by bristol. they ran in seven tries, each from different scorers. elsewhere, gloucester won away at leicester for the first time in more than 16 years. there was a stirring second half comeback, by glasgow in the united rugby championship. they were 13—0 to lowly cardiff, until they scored 17 points without reply after the break. it means glasgow are now level on points with lenster at the top of the table. also last night munster won at ospreys. on to football, and scotland were kicking themselves, as their latest warm—up match for euro 202a went horribly wrong. they missed a load of chances, lost a—0 in the netherlands and have now gone six games, without a win. having qualified for the euros, scotland wanted to test themselves with a friendly against the dutch. and it really tested them. scotland had been doing well until this thunderbolt from tijjani reijnders

just before half time. scotland did have a host of chances, but missed them and were punished conceding three more. the scots next host northern ireland in another friendly on tuesday. all the boys in there are angry — they're disappointed. they're, you know, embarrassed at the fact that we played... you know. you look at it, large parts we played relatively well. and, you know, you look at the score line that's a—0, which, you know, when you play as well as that for 60, 70 minutes, it can't happen, simple as that. northern ireland, didn't qualify for the euros but they're building something more positive and got a 1—1 draw in romania — a nation way above them in the rankings. and five years ago, jamie reid was playing non league football. and here he was, now 29, scoring on his international senior debut after just seven minutes. he plays for stevenage in league one and can play for northern ireland, thanks to his grandma. it's a big moment of the rugby league season — it's another grand prix weekend,

the third of the season. this time in australia. you'll be able to follow tomorrow's big race on bbc radio 5 live and bbc sounds from a am tomorrow. defending champion, max verstappen, claimed his third consecutive pole of the season, ahead of carloz sainz in second. the ferrari driver, was returning to the team, just two weeks after undergoing surgery on his appendix, when he was replaced, by british teenager oliver bearman. lando norris the highest placed british driver in fourth. it's a big moment of the rugby league season — the challenge cup 6th round and four more ties today, after wigan warriors beat sheffield eagles aa—18, to avenge their famous wembley1998 challenge cup final loss to the eagles. and st helens are also through to the quarter finals, after beating leeds rhinos 20—6. it's the second time in a week, that saints have won at headingley, after a win in the super league last friday. finally, the former england manager sven—goran eriksson will realise a lifelong ambition this afternoon, when he takes charge of a liverpool legends side against dutch team ajax.

eriksson revealed he had terminal cancer injanuary and now the lifelong liverpool fan, will get to lead out players like steven gerrard at anfield. well, it's like a dream. and i could never have dreamt about that. but, when i was manager, i always dreamt about liverpool. but that never happened. it was close once. it was some discussion once. he is going to have a very special moment, isn't he, very special! here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. a real mixed picture, i think? that is right. a mixture of sunshine and showers. we have been getting used to some very mild weather, temperature closer to 19 degrees. a

cold wind blowing a gale force across the north of the uk courtesy of this area of low pressure. lots of this area of low pressure. lots of showers rattling around the system. plenty of isobars on the charts. ourairsource system. plenty of isobars on the charts. our air source coming down from greenland and iceland never a particularly warm direction for the time of year. the chilly late morning and afternoon to come. lots of showers from the north and west a wintry on the hills. we could see hail and thunder. those winds gusting 30, a0 miles an hour particularly when showers come along. in excess of 50 miles an hour across the north of scotland. around seven to 10 degrees. in the wind it will feel more like these temperatures suggest. as we head into tomorrow it looks like the wind will start to ease and showers will begin to fade as well. an increasing amount of sunshine. it will feel a

touch warmer. monday onwards, low pressure. staying quite settled into next week and in the run—up to easter. very strong winds at times. there will be some sunshine. not particularly warm. starting to get mild as we head into the easter weekend. a . ~ mild as we head into the easter weekend. 1, . ~ ., ,, ican i can tell you here in salford, early, early this morning it was grim. i was driving rain and fierce wind. there is a bit of a walk going on locally. today it is here, nearby. on yesterday's breakfast we saw the start of what's being called "march of the day", which is an incredible feat of endurance by a group of former footballers, and their friends and supporters, to help fight motor neurone disease. they're walking 178 miles over three days, visiting 19 football stadia in total. the walk started at bradford city's ground yesterday morning —
