good morning. it's sunday march 24. our main story: russia has begun a national day of mourning after at least 133 people were killed in an attack on a rock concert in moscow. the islamic state group has claimed responsibility but russia's security services have claimed the assailants had links to ukraine — something which kyiv has fiercely denied. our russia editor, steve rosenberg, has the details. in what was left of crocus city, the full horror of what happened became clear. the attackers had torched the building. a rock concert became an inferno. gunfire but first, the gunman had opened fire. gunfire to kill as many of the audience as possible — in one constant stream of bullets.

russia says the four gunman who did this have been arrested. and claims they planned to cross into ukraine. kyiv denies any connection to the attack. it's islamic state that's claimed responsibility. president putin promised vengeance. translation: all the - perpetrators and organisers of this crime and those who ordered it will be justly and inevitably punished, whoever they are, whoever is guiding them. those terrorists, murderers, monsters, face the same fate, retribution and oblivion. in moscow, there were long queues to donate blood for the many who had been wounded in the attack and rushed to hospital. outside crocus city hall, a hint of the devastation inside. the first thing you notice isn't the sight of the building —

it's the smell. the air is thick with smoke because the concert hall was burning all night. the next thing you notice is what is happening over there, people are bringing flowers, creating a makeshift shrine to the dead. margarita knows she is lucky. she was in the building when the shooting began and got out alive. translation: when i got home, i hugged my children, _ fell to my knees and said "i cannot begin "to describe what happened there. "they were shooting at us. i was hysterical. my husband could barely watch as the children were terrified. theyjust hugged me. but so many died here. there were so many victims of the deadliest attack in russia in 20 years. president putin has declared a national day of mourning. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. russia has launched air attacks on multiple locations in ukraine, overnight. these pictures show people taking shelter in a metro station

in kyiv. the bbc�*s eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford also resporting that loud explosions were heard in the western city of lviv, close to the polish border. poland's armed forces have claimed a russian cruise missile violated its air space. we will have more that for you a little later, but let's get some of the other main stories of the day. luxmy has those. the prince and princess of wales have thanked the public for its support after catherine revealed she is receiving cancer treatment. in a statement released last night, kensington palace said the couple have been touched by the kind messages, and are grateful that people understand their request for privacy. our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. this is the national with erica johnson. catherine, the princess of wales, made a shocking announcement... making headlines globally.

kate middleton... the impact of the princess's diagnosis has been felt far and wide. her video message was the most direct and personal we have ever seen the princess. this, of course, came as a huge shock. it was also an attempt to shut down the rumours. i think what the princess of wales is hoping is that this message will be direct enough to appeal to people's better natures and say, look, the invasion of privacy that has been going on on social media for the last couple of months has just been way too much. people need to stop and think and not engage in that kind of activity going forward. and now a fresh statement from kensington palace — a public thank you. it said:

family has rallied around the princess, including those with whom relations are strained. the duke and duchess of sussex sent a public message of support. the bbc understands they have also reached out privately. public sympathy remains strong. we've been thinking of her all along and wish her the best. they're going through something so private and hard and the — you know, the public eye on it, it's really tough, to be honest. yeah, she's got. young kids, right? and she's a human being, so i thought it was - all quite upsetting. protecting her three children has been a priority for the princess of wales. she said she's taken time to explain and reassure george, charlotte and louis. the new message from the prince and princess is both a thank you and a polite warning. they now want to be left alone. we do not expect to hear from them over the easter holiday. instead, we may see the king back

in the royal spotlight. christmas at sandringham, the last full gathering of the royal family. next sunday, many will be back for the easter church service in windsor. buckingham palace are also hopeful the king will also be there. at least ten people have been arrested during weekly mass protests in the israeli capital tel aviv. protestors are demanding a deal be reached to release hostages still held by hamas in gaza. the protestors say the government isn't doing enough and are calling for fresh elections. police are searching for three missing siblings from cheltenham, who are subject to a court order, preventing them from being in their parents' care. pauly—boi, who's three, jolene, who's five,

and eight—year—old betsy are believed to be with their mother jessica. they were last seen at midday on friday. richard taylor, the father of damilola taylor who was killed using a broken bottle, has died aged 75. his son was just 10 years old when he was stabbed and left to die in a south london stairwell in 2000. following damilola's death, mr taylor became an anti—knife crime campaigner, and dedicated his life to improving the lives of young people. a vet from midlothian has become the first woman to complete one of the world's hardest running races. jasmin paris finished the 100—mile barkley marathons in tennessee with just 99 seconds to spare. 0ur reporter simonjones has the details. cheering she said her body was screaming at her to stop, butjasmin paris believed in herself and made it to the finish gate. her legs scratched from days of running through thick woodland. this is what exhaustion

combined with joy looks like. the legendary course once featured in a documentary called the race that eats its young, the barkley marathons involves running up and down the equivalent of 60,000 feet, about twice the height of mount everest, in extreme heat. the route is unmarked, so competitors have to memorise it and it begins when the race creator, known as laz, lights a cigarette. and for some people, just to get back to camp alive is all they want in the world. fellow ultra marathon runners are full of awe. she has learned, she's grown, she's trained hard in races, and, of course, you have to train every week and be consistent, building up your mileage and the strength and endurance in your body, to even attempt the barkley marathons. there are some very,

very famous well—rounded runners, with huge amounts of experience, who get one loop done of the barkley marathons, and then tap out and say "that was too hard" — jasmin paris did all five loops. this is jasmin about to set off on the final loop — and it's not the first time she has made history. in 2019, she completed the spine race, from derbyshire to the scottish borders, a mere 268 miles, in 83 hours, 12 minutes and 23 seconds. she broke the course record by more than 12 hours, expressing milk for her baby along the way. i did lots of long, long runs, often mainly in the dark, actually, getting up at 4am and training in the dark, and carrying my full pack, so long days over christmas and new year, training in the hills. jasmin paris, who is a vet back home cannot currently speak because she did so much heavy breathing over the 100 miles but she sent us a text to say "i'm

overjoyed to have finished the barkley marathons. "it still hasn't really sunk in that i finally have done it. "that said, i had a strong feeling in the months "of training in the run—up to the race that i could do it. "those final moments have redefined for me when i am capable of." now, some much deserved rest before the inevitable next challenge. simon jones, bbc news. you would need a lot of race after that. what an amazing woman. what a grey achievement. —— what an achievement. and from one extreme race to another, today hundreds of waiting staff will be running through the streets of paris, desperately trying not to spill trays of coffee and croissants. no mean feat. it is because the famous waiters' race returns to the city after a 13—year break. the contest, which is over 100 years old — believe it or not — sees servers complete a 2km loop while trying to avoid any spillages. paris stopped hosting the event

moments replace showed alex callender had got the ball down to set up a blockbuster finish. a conversion to seal the draw and complete an impressive comeback. perhaps it was nerves, but... frustration for wales, in comparison, a very happyjourney home scotland. ali france wasted no time to go in front as they entertained ireland. and they continue to show their quality with this, the second of their five try hall. ireland is much improved a year on from picking up the wooden spoon, pounced when they could, but france was simply too strong. joe curry, bbc news. well, as i mentioned, england play away in italy later. marlee packer will win her 100th cap for the red roses and she says the team is as eager as ever to win the tournament,

even if they've won the last five in a row: the goalfor the six the goal for the six nations the goalfor the six nations is the goal for the six nations is to go out there and win it, a grand slam win but we need to make sure we performed on each game and it is not just about the points on the board, it's how we come off as players full. like, we have targets within defence or attack we need to hit in those games, that is what i think of us as red roses will be define whether the six nations has been successful or not for us. in rugby's premiership, there was a huge win for saracens as they moved up to second in the table. they ran in eight tries as they thrashed harlequins 52—7 in front in front of over 60,000 fans at the tottenham hotspur stadium. the win moves sarries above quins, who drop to fifth. exeter are third after beating newcastle 25—16. it's been a busy few hours in miami for the british players in the singles. katie boulter is through to the fourth round there for the first time in her career — beating brazil's beatriz haddaj maia in straight sets. cam norrie is through to the third

liverpool has been my dream my whole life. now it happened. —— cry. and it was a beautiful day stop in all meanings. the crowd, the game, the players, everything. fantastic. thank you to liverpool for giving me this opportunity, to remind me. liverpool coming from 2—0 down to win that one for — two. nearly 60,000 at anfield, a sellout crowd. 4-2. -- 4-2. thank you, chetan. we'll be back with the headlines at 7am. now it's time for unspun world withjohn simpson. hello and welcome to unspun world,

the programme where we ask the bbc�*s unmatched correspondents what's really going on in the world. in this edition, vladimir putin has won himself six more years as russia's president. so what will he do now? further confrontation with the west, a continuation of the war with ukraine and continued repression at home. how worried should we be about the forecasts of serious trouble in america, as biden and trump go head—to—head? i speak to people all the time who clearly believe that donald trump is the one thing that stands between them and some kind of tyranny in america. and they're the size of a potato, they're 30 million years old and they come from the depths of the ocean. should we be mining seabed nodules to sort out our shortages of rare metals?

the environmentalists, the greens come in and they say, look, we shouldn't be pushing the frontier of the exploitation of metals to this last pristine wilderness on earth. vladimir vladimirovich putin! cheering so, russia's presidential election, such as it was, is over and done, and vladimir putin now has until 2030 as president and maybe, if he chooses and is still able to do thejob, until 2036. he is certainly a survivor. his invasion of ukraine in 2022 could have turned into a strategic disaster, but he managed to turn things around and may even be able to claim victory of a sort by the time it's finally over. vladimir vladimirovich putin. so now he's re—elected, but will he change the way he does

things, or will it be more much, much more of the same? applause i asked steve rosenberg, the bbc�*s redoubtable russia editor, who's had a ringside seat throughout all these extraordinary events. what we're going to see is further confrontation with the west, a continuation of the war with ukraine and continued repression at home. but having won this — claim to have won this, this huge victory, 87%, vladimir putin will now be able to say, look, everybody, i have a mandate and a huge mandate from my people for everything i do. not only for the war in ukraine, but also for my transformation of russia into this increasingly militaristic society. but privately, steve, he knows that he didn't get that mandate, not to that

extent, at any rate. i'd love to know what he thinks, actually, how much he believes he actually got in this election. that will not worry him in the slightest. he will hold up a piece of paper and say the official result of this election is 87%. the kremlin will portray this as a — it is portraying this as a huge victory for vladimir putin, painting a picture of a leader, father of the nation figure, if you like, who enjoys the overwhelming support of his people. but there must be an awful lot of people in the big population centres who wouldn't necessarily have voted for putin at all, who won't be happy about what's happening? i think there's a degree of resignation, certainly. when i was at a polling station on sunday, the third day of the election, the day when opposition figures had called russians to come out in large

numbers at midday to polling stations and vote against vladimir putin or to spoil their ballots. but by coming out, just to show that not everyone in russia supports vladimir putin, quite a few people did come out. suddenly, a queue appeared on the streets at midday and talking to people in the queue about why they'd come out to take part in this sort of silent protest, people said to me, "well, "it's because we wanted to see that we're not alone." these are very difficult times for opponents of the kremlin, opponents of the system here, especially after the death in prison recently of alexei navalny. and yet, we see signs that civil society is — does still exist in russia. we see those queues at the polling stations at midday on sunday. we saw the thousands of people who came out for the funeral of alexei navalny. i went to mr navalny�*s grave on sunday and it was fascinating.

people were putting messages there saying, "this is the candidate we had wanted", and putting ballot papers on his grave. when we travel across russia and we speak to russians in towns and cities and villages, a lot of people here have lost the belief that they can change anything in the country, that they have any influence over anything. and a lot of people who tell us that they vote for putin in elections say they do so because they don't see anybody else to vote for. and that situation has been specifically engineered by the kremlin. the kremlin has basically cleared the political landscape in russia of any potential rivals or challengers to vladimir putin, to make it seem as if there is — in this country of 145 million people — only one man who can rule this place. vladimir putin. you've managed to survive

as the bbc�*s russia editor working there, saying things which the kremlin must absolutely hate, from time to time. over the next year or so, will you be able to talk out as freely as you have, or will you have to, do you think, be more careful? vladimir putin used to talk a lot about stability, but there's no stability now or predictability. so who knows what's going to happen here over the next few months, what new laws will be passed. but i think one thing is clear — that having secured this fifth presidential term, vladimir putin will be determined to cement his power, his authority. there were some incredible headlines in the papers here after the election. "russia is putin", i read in one newspaper today, and that's the message that will be sent out across the country. i tell you what reporting

from russia is like now, john, it's...it�*s like walking a tightrope over a minefield. those are the conditions in which we work and we try within those conditions to report as accurately as we can about these momentous events. music: god bless the usa by lee greenwood - cheering politics in the united states have never been quite so volatile and uncertain since the end of the american civil war, nearly 160 years ago. and, disturbingly, all sorts of commentators, grandees, as well as more excitable partisan ones, have talked about the possibility of more violence and division — whoever wins the election on the 5th of november. what are the chances that things will turn out badly in the us this difficult and momentous year? and what are the biggest issues likely to be? i talked to sarah smith,

the bbc�*s north america editor. abortion is one issue that will drive them into the polling stations, and once they're in there, they will tick the box for president biden, along with voting in favour of reproductive rights. so that's one section of the electorate that the democrats really hope will be galvanised by that particular issue. the other two issues that voters talk about the most are the economy, where that favours president biden a lot less, and immigration, which is, of course, donald trump's signature issue. now, the economy is really important because, actually, all the major economic indicators in america are very positive at the moment. if you're an economist, you argue that the us economy is doing very nicely, thank you. if you're a consumer, which is of course what the voters are, you still feel as though you have been hammered by inflation and immigration is climbing up as an issue, as more and more migrants are coming across the southern border.

well over 2 million last year, 250,000 in december alone. these are, i mean, almost inconceivable numbers from a few years ago. of course, it's the issue on which donald trump made his name. he is proposing some very strict, draconian immigration policies, and they're going down quite well with a lot of voters who think the biden administration really hasn't taken immigration seriously enough. and there's the language in which the debate is starting to be couched. you know, donald trump the other day talking about a "bloodbath". now, it seemed pretty clear to me that he actually meant a bloodbath of the motor industry. but nevertheless, you don't talk about bloodbaths unless you feel that there is such tension in society that blood might be spilled. am i...am i being too excitable?

with the history of the january 6th riots that happened after the 2020 election, yeah, people are deeply, deeply worried about the prospect of political violence. but this is typical of donald trump to use that kind of provocative language which everybody hears and understands could mean wider things, then to come in and correct himself. we had statements from his campaign and from some of his allies saying, no, no, no, no, no, he's not talking about political violence. he's just talking about what could happen in the auto industry. well, it's no coincidence that he has used vocabulary that you could interpret in different ways. and violence, what would that be? you do still see people writing about a new civil war and so on. is... i mean, as a long lover of america and a long visitor to it, i've lived there, i still find that impossible to believe. but people do seem to be believing it more, don't they? yeah, because the hardcore of trump supporters are very,

very devoted to him. and it's not just that they want to see him back in office. they believe what he tells them, that he is being persecuted politically by the biden administration, that that's why he's facing four criminal prosecutions, because he is being persecuted, he says. that there is an organised attempt to stop him getting back into the white house. and what he calls the �*deep state' is somehow conspiring notjust against him, but against his supporters, too. he says frequently to them, he says, "they're not coming after me, "they're coming after you — "i'm just standing in the way." i speak to people all the time who will repeat that to me and who clearly believe, for whatever reason, that donald trump is the one thing that stands between them and some kind of tyranny in america. then there's election integrity, because of all of the accusations that donald trump really won the 2020 election and that it was stolen from him byjoe biden because of... because donald trump

himself says that. then there are people very worried about whether people can trust the democratic process in america or whether voters will believe the outcome, even if there's no evidence of fraud whatsoever. are we certain that they will face off? i think it's very clear that president biden has no intention of stepping down — unless something very dramatic had happened to make his candidacy not tenable. he's 81—years—old, and it's not impossible that he could have some kind of health incident that would mean itjust didn't look practicalfor him to be running for another four years in the white house. now, with donald trump, the jeopardy there is the fact that he is facing four criminal court cases. it is now looking quite possible that not one of these cases will have reached its verdict before the election. and it has been the trump campaign's tactic all along to delay, delay, delay. one of the worst atrocities of modern times in africa started

to be committed in the newly independent zimbabwe in 1982. president robert mugabe, whose power was mostly based on the shona people of the country, unleashed his fifth brigade, trained by north koreans, against the ndebele people, who had been led by mugabe's rivaljoshua nkomo. chanting anything from 8,000 to 20,000 people are thought to have died. chillingly, the campaign was called the gukurahundi a shona word meaning "the spring rain "that washes away the chaff." when i spent time travelling round zimbabwe more than 20 years later, it was the one thing most people were still too scared to speak to me about. eventually, in 2017, mugabe was forced aside and one of his chief henchmen, emmerson mnangagwa, took power.

now it looks as though president mnangagwa will allow public investigation into the genocidal massacres of the ndebele people 40 years ago. the bbc zimbabwe correspondent, shingai nyoka, spoke to me from african unity square in the centre of harare. people might not know that these massacres took place at the time robert mugabe was the leader. emmerson mnangagwa was the state security minister. so, in a sense, you know, the government has some kind of responsibility, even under his leadership, under president mnangagwa's leadership. he says that this is to rebuild the nation. this is to put a very dark chapter of zimbabwe's past behind it. we've been speaking to some people that are on the ground and in matabeleland who don't believe that, quote, the perpetrators should be the ones

that are leading the process. they say that this should be an independent hearing. it does sound a little bit like a zimbabwean version of the truth and reconciliation commission in south africa. is that kind of in the background at all? i think that's what they're trying to achieve, but they're probably not going as far as the truth and reconciliation commission in south africa. what we understand so far is that this process will be led by the traditional leaders, the chiefs. but it's being held under the auspices of the president's office. with the truth and reconciliation commission, we were talking about people that were coming forward and absolving themselves and explaining what happened. this is from the state's side. but what we are not clear about is whether that's going to happen here. some people have talked about making sure that the perpetrators

are brought to book. but i don't think it's likely that the government is going to play its hand to talk about why they did that, why they sent the military out and essentially massacred thousands and thousands of people. in 2024, to be talking to you about it as an open issue is a real achievement, i think, for zimbabwe. or am i being too kind of optimistic and positive about it? i was there recently speaking to some family members, people that saw their mothers, their fathers, their grandparents frog marched to their fiery deaths by the military, by the fifth brigade. and there's still a lot of bitterness, and i was surprised at the extent to which old women who... one woman who said that she had to bury the dead, she had to bury 22 people of her husband's family

who had been burnt to death. how upset they still are. a lot of them speak about it as if it happened yesterday. it's still so vivid. they remember the day. they remember the time of day. they remember all of these details. some of them are close to tears. and so i think it's a really important step forward that the government has opened up this platform. i'm not sure that they will be prepared to hear what people really have to say and what people really think. the ocean bed is littered in many places with potato sized lumps of minerals which have formed over 30 million years or so and contain many of the things the world wants. cobalt, for instance, which forms a key part of our mobile phones. these metals exist on dry land, but mining them causes huge loss of forestation and can lead

to violence and criminality. now, several mining companies are pushing to be allowed to gather the nodules from the ocean floor, though conservationists say there'd be equal, though very different destruction involved. justin rowlatt, the bbc�*s climate editor, told me more. this is a polymetallic nodule. now, this, we reckon, is about 30 million years old. it's almost certainly formed around a bit of organic material, probably something like a shark's tooth that fell to the ocean floor 30 million years ago. it could be the beak of a squid. they're quite common in these things. and then very gradually, metals dissolved in the sea water, leach out and form a crust. and the extraordinary thing is there are tens, if not hundreds of billions of these sitting on the ocean floor. hundreds of billions? hundreds of billions. i mean, huge numbers of them.

you can see there's a kind of, there's a sort of margin around the edge and this would sit in the sediment on the abyssal plain. are you going to trust me to hand...? oh, yeah, no, take it. yeah. thank you. it's the kind of thing i do to, you know, drop these things, but, uh... and what are we... what do you think is in here? well, i have a fairly good idea of what's in it. there's certainly, there'll be... there'll be cobalt, nickel, copper, manganese, a bit of iron. they're in hydrate form, so a lot of that is actually water, but a significant proportion is metals. so maybe 30, perhaps even a bit more percent will be metal. and these metals are crucial for battery technology and other renewable technologies. so just the single company that i was talking to, the metals company, its plan is to mine 12 million tonnes of these — not 12 million of them, 12 million tonnes of these — a year over, they think, 20 years. you talk about mining, but mining to me means digging. they don't do that. i mean, this is on the surface, isn't it?

they have essentially these huge vacuum cleaners, really big. i mean, kind of, you know, i think they're 18 metres long, that would trundle along the seabed sucking up these nodules and have a huge pipe to the surface which would draw them up. and one of the issues is that this produces a big plume of sediment. there's a lot of dispute about how far that plume spreads. the issue would be they're — obviously, the machine would crush any animals in its path, but then the plume of sediment would settle on the seabed and on the animals and would suffocate them, which is where the environmentalist, the greens come in and they say, look, we shouldn't be pushing the frontier of the exploitation of metals to this last pristine wilderness on earth. obviously very, very damaging to the oceans or those parts of the oceans where it's done. but at the moment, we're digging up things like cobalt on the surface. a forest, dense forest is turned into a desert.

so it's not either or, is it? well, this is exactly what the miners say. they say the greens have got it wrong. we should be looking at the lowest footprint and they argue because the density of life in the deep ocean is so much lower than it is on the more biodiverse places on the surface of the earth, that that's the lowest footprint possible. i mean, the greens push back and they say, listen, we don't really even know what's down there. and they point out that research expeditions that collect samples from the deep ocean floors routinely find notjust one or two species that were unknown to man, but hundreds of species. and will it be controlled if it happens? when you talk to the marine biologists about this, they say one of the great things about this is this industry has not started and there is a un treaty that protects the deep ocean. and there's an organisation, the international seabed authority, which is responsible for managing, you know, what happens down there. they are in the process

of drawing up regulations. they say they should have rules drawn up by 2025. but it sounds from what you say, as though the activists, greenpeace and so on, won't accept it, even if the rules are clearly in place. yeah, i think that's right. when you go to greenpeace and you say, all right, no deep sea mining, what about the forests? i said to them, "what about mining in the forest?" you know, that's a... "oh, no, we don't want mining." and you say, "ok, what are we going to do?" and they said, "well, we need a more circular economy." so i said, well... what does that mean? well, it means we need to recycle the metals we already have. i see. so we need to be better at recycling. certainly, i think most people would agree we should get better at recycling. and so the question is, if we need — if in order to transition away from fossil fuels and protect the environment from climate change, we need a huge additional stock of these metals. a compromise kind of has to be made because we've got to decide where we're going to get them from.

do we want to go on getting them from on land or are we willing to licence an area of seabed to collect metals. justin rowlatt, climate editor. back briefly now to russia. vladimir putin has been re—elected president for yet another six year term, with an improbable 87% of the vote. it's improbable because back in december 2020, a poll from the reliable levada center found that among russians aged 18 to 24, only 20% supported mr putin. and that, of course, was before the invasion of ukraine, which has brought so much more anger and disillusion in russia. still, older people right across the country like mr putin, and if last week's election had been free, he would have won by a margin big enough to gratify any western leader.

but russia's gone back to the old communist days in one respect when, regardless of the real vote, the bosses would award themselves a landslide at every election. or else risk looking weak. and yet there are dangers ahead. one is that mr putin's system will start to ossify, just as happened under leonid brezhnev after he came to power in the soviet union in 1964. the deep freeze of the brezhnev years led directly to the collapse of the soviet union in 1991. mr putin probably hopes to govern russia for two more six year terms until 2036, when he'll be 83. will he actually make it? well, no—one can tell, of course. but even in a country like russia, where large numbers of people do genuinely think mr putin is wonderful, the big cities like moscow and st petersburg

are full of educated, outward looking people who want something better. you can scare them into submission for a long time, but not forever. that's the lesson of the old soviet union. and mr putin may not be doing himself or his people any favours by heading back down that same road. well, that's it from this edition of unspun world. we'll be back in early may. so until we meet again, from me and the team, goodbye.

hello. good morning.

welcome to breakfast with luxmy gopal and ben thompson. our headlines today. a day of national mourning in russia after friday's attack on a concert hall that killed more than 130 people. the islamic state group has claimed responsibility. sirens wail warnings of missile attacks across the whole of ukraine — with the capital kyiv targeted by russian air strikes overnight. the prince and princess of wales say they're "enormously touched and extremely moved" by the public�*s support following catherine's cancer announcement. good morning. england's long unbeaten run at wembley is over. they've suffered their first defeat there in 21 matches, as brazil's teenage sensation endrick got the only goal of the game.

cheering and applause the british runner rewriting history — jasmin paris becomes the first woman to finish one of the world's toughest ultramarathons, with just 99 seconds to spare. good morning to you. part two of the weekend's _ good morning to you. part two of the weekend's weather looks better than yesterday _ weekend's weather looks better than yesterday. more sunshine around, lighter— yesterday. more sunshine around, lighter winds, and fewer showers, so it should _ lighter winds, and fewer showers, so it should feel a little bit warmer. joined _ it should feel a little bit warmer. joined me — it should feel a little bit warmer. joined me later for all the details. ——join me. good morning. it's sunday the 24th of march. our main story. russia has begun a national day of mourning — after at least 133 people were killed in an attack on a rock concert in moscow. well, the islamic state group said it was responsible, but russia's security services have claimed the assailants had links to ukraine — something which kyiv has fiercely denied. our russia editor steve rosenberg has the details. in what was left of crocus city, the full horror of what happened became clear.

the attackers had torched the building. a rock concert became an inferno. gunfire but first, the gunman had opened fire. gunfire to kill as many of the audience as possible — in one constant stream of bullets. gunfire sirens wail russia says the four gunman who did this have been arrested, and claims they planned to cross into ukraine. kyiv denies any connection to the attack. it's islamic state that's claimed responsibility. president putin promised vengeance. translation: all the perpetrators and organisers of this crime - and those who ordered it will be justly and inevitably punished, whoever they are, whoever is guiding them. those terrorists, murderers, monsters, face the same fate, retribution and oblivion.

in moscow, there were long queues to donate blood for the many who had been wounded in the attack and rushed to hospital. outside crocus city hall, a hint of the devastation inside. the first thing you notice isn't the sight of the building — it's the smell. the air is thick with smoke because the concert hall was burning all night. the next thing you notice is what is happening over there, people are bringing flowers, creating a makeshift shrine to the dead. margarita knows she is lucky. she was in the building when the shooting began and got out alive. translation: when i got home, i hugged my children, _ fell to my knees and said "i can't begin to describe

"what happened there — they were shooting at us." i was hysterical. my husband could barely watch as the children were terrified. theyjust hugged me. but so many died here. there were so many victims of the deadliest attack in russia in 20 years. president putin has declared a national day of mourning. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. we will speak to steve a little later in the programme. now, they have been furthered developments in ukraine overnight. luxmy has those details. that's right. russia has launched air attacks on multiple locations in ukraine overnight, with kyiv claiming it has shot down 43 missiles and drones. poland's armed forces have also claimed a russian cruise missile violated its air space. our reporter vincent mcaviney has more. in the early hours of sunday morning, ukrainians were awoken by multiple explosions across the

country, prompting many to seek safety in shelters once again. a national alert was issued with the ukrainian military saying its air defence systems were engaged in repelling the attack. kyiv has been targeted. a military spokesperson said a dozen russian missiles had been destroyed over the capital and its facility. they have been no reports of casualties or major damage as a result of these attacks. the north—western border region of lviv has also come under fire. you may out of lviv said the city had been spared, but about 20 missiles and seven attack drones had been launched against the broader region, targeting critical infrastructure. neighbouring poland says it has activated its air force to ensure the safety of polish airspace. russia is observing an official day of morning, after friday's is a mistake attack on a constant hall outside moscow. president zelensky

responded furiously to russian claims that kyiv was in any way involved. moscow has not yet commented on the morning's strakes. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. —— strikes. the prince and princess of wales have thanked the public for its support after catherine revealed she is receiving cancer treatment. in a statement released last night, kensington palace said the couple have been touched by the kind messages, and are grateful that people understand their request for privacy. our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. this is the national with erica johnson. catherine, the princess of wales, made a shocking announcement... making headlines globally. kate middleton... the impact of the princess's diagnosis has been felt far and wide. her video message was the most direct and personal we have ever seen the princess. this, of course, came as a huge shock.

it was also an attempt to shut down the rumours. i think what the princess of wales is hoping is that this message will be direct enough to appeal to people's better natures and say, look, the invasion of privacy that has been going on on social media for the last couple of months has just been way too much. people need to stop and think and not engage in that kind of activity going forward. and now a fresh statement from kensington palace — a public thank you. it said: family has rallied around the princess, including those with whom relations are strained. the duke and duchess of sussex sent a public message of support. the bbc understands they have also reached out privately. public sympathy remains strong.

we've been thinking of her all along and wish her the best. they're going through something so private and hard and the — you know, the public eye on it, it's really tough, to be honest. yeah, she's got young kids, right? and she's a human being, i so i thought it was all quite upsetting. protecting her three children has been a priority for the princess of wales. she said she's taken time to explain and reassure george, charlotte and louis. the new message from the prince and princess is both a thank you and a polite warning. they now want to be left alone. we don't expect to hear from them over the easter holiday. instead, we may see the king back in the royal spotlight. christmas at sandringham, the last full gathering of the royal family. next sunday, many will be back for the easter church service in windsor. buckingham palace are also hopeful the king will also be there. daniela relph, bbc news.

nearly 300 school children abducted by gunmen in northern nigeria have been released. families were left desperate for information when the children, aged between eight and 15, were taken from a school earlier this month, in the north—west of the country. the regional governor says they have been released unharmed. at least ten people have been arrested during weekly mass protests in the israeli capital tel aviv. protestors are demanding a deal be reached to release hostages still held by hamas in gaza. richard taylor, the father of damilola taylor, who was killed using a broken bottle, has died, aged 75. his son was just 10 years old when he was stabbed and left to die in a south london stairwell in 2000. following damilola's death, mr taylor became an anti—knife crime campaigner, and dedicated his life to improving the lives of young people.

now, a vet from midlothian has become the first woman to complete one of the world's hardest running races. jasmin paris finished the 100—mile barkley marathons in tennessee with just 99 seconds to spare. our reporter simonjones has the details. cheering she said her body was screaming at her to stop, butjasmin paris believed in herself and made it to the finish gate. her legs scratched from days of running through thick woodland. this is what exhaustion combined with joy looks like. the legendary course once featured in a documentary called the race that eats its young, the barkley marathons involves running up and down the equivalent of 60,000 feet, about twice the height of mount everest, in extreme heat. the route is unmarked, so competitors have to memorise it and it begins when the race creator, known as laz, lights a cigarette.

and for some people, just to get back to camp alive is all they want in the world. fellow ultra marathon runners are full of awe. she has learned, she's grown, she's trained hard in races, and, of course, you have to train every week and be consistent, building up your mileage and the strength and endurance in your body, to even attempt the barkley marathons. there are some very, very famous well—rounded runners, with huge amounts of experience, who get one loop done of the barkley marathons, and then tap out and say "that was too hard" — jasmin paris did all five loops. this is jasmin about to set off on the final loop — and it's not the first time she has made history. in 2019, she completed the spine race, from derbyshire to the scottish borders, a mere 268 miles, in 83 hours, 12 minutes and 23 seconds. she broke the course record by more than 12 hours,

expressing milk for her baby along the way. i did lots of long, long runs, often mainly in the dark, actually, getting up at 4am and training in the dark, and carrying my full pack, so long days over christmas and new year, training in the hills. jasmin paris, who is a vet back home cannot currently speak because she did so much heavy breathing over the 100 miles but she sent us a text to say "i'm overjoyed to have finished "the barkley marathons. "it still hasn't really sunk in that i finally have done it. "that said, i had a strong feeling in the months of training "in the run—up to the race that i could do it.

first england international since the death of england's former manager at the age of 80, last november. once underway, brazil had an effort cleared off the line and hit the post, but eventually made the breakthrough 10 minutes from time. 17—year—old endrick with his first international goal. he's the youngest goalscorer at wembley in a senior international. 1—0 it finished. i'm not disappointed with the level of performance. in the end, when you lose the game, then there will always be a negative reaction to losing. but my thought, with 15 minutes to go, given the changes we had made, ithought minutes to go, given the changes we had made, i thought the crowd were really with the team. they could see a lot of young players going in and doing well, and experienced players going in and doing well. so i'm not - i going in and doing well. so i'm not — i am not done on the performance of the team at all. and there was cause for double celebration for one brazilian couple — no goals at half time, this probably the most exciting

thing to happen in the stadium at this stage. one guy taking the chance to propose to his partner — who, thankfully, said yes. and a note that both of them will remember. he eventually got the ring on, and, of course, it fit perfectly. it could have been a night to remember for republic of ireland. they drew 0—0 with belgium in theirfriendly — evan ferguson missing an early penalty around half an hour into their game in dublin. this wasjohn o'shea's first match as interim manager. now, domestically, we may only be in march, but we have our first promotion of the season. that honour goes to chesterfield, who, after six seasons, are back in the football league. their 3—0 win against boreham wood not only sealed promotion, but also the national league title. chesterfield went top of the table in the middle of september and have stayed there since, with their closest pursuers barnet 21 points behind them. chelsea will be looking to return to the top of the women's

super league later — but they'll need to beat west ham to do so. that's one of five fixtures today. manchester city currently sit top of the league, three points clear after a 3—1win in the manchester derby. jess park, a brilliant performance from her, and scoring twice against united as city look to win their first wsl title since 2016. it's a big game today, obviously a big derby, there's a big rivalry there. we've come out on the right side, this season. i have to give great credit to the team, and the team behind the team. i thought we were really good today in a lot of moments. i was impressed with our second half and the first half an hour of our second half. scotland have begun their women's six nations campaign with a win — but onlyjust. it was all very comfortable at one stage, with scotland looking as though they were going to ease

to their first victory on welsh soil in 20 years. but wales fought back and had the chance to level it with this conversion, but agonisingly, missed, losing 20—18. they are now winless in four with a daunting away trip to england to come in round two. and there was defeat for ireland too as they were beaten in france by 38 points to 17. the home side running in five tries in a bonus point victory. a marked improvement from ireland though, who lost this match 53—3 last year. as for england, the favourites, they begin their women's six nations campaign later today. they are away in italy. marlie packer will win her 100th cap for the red roses and she says the team is as eager as ever to win the tournament, as they look to make it six in a row. the goal for the six nations is to go out there and win it,

a grand slam win. but we need to make sure we perform in each game, and it is notjust about the points on the board, it's how we come off as players. like, we have targets within defence or attack that we want to hit in those games. that is what i think of us as red roses will be defined by, whether the six nations has been successful or not for us. in rugby's premiership, there was a huge win for saracens — they moved up to second in the table. they ran in eight tries as they thrashed harlequins 52—7 in front in front of over 60,000 fans at the tottenham hotspur stadium. the win moves sarries above quins who drop to fifth. exeter are third after beating newcastle 25—16. in the united rugby championship, leinster are four clear at the top — after beating zebre 31—7 in italy. elsewhere, there was a thrilling finish to scarlets' match with bennetton. the llanelli side were 13—9 down with 83 minutes gone, when eduan swart bulldozed over the line, scarlets triumphing 16—13.

all the results are on the bbc sport website. it's been a busy few hours in miami for the british players in the singles. katie boulter is through to the fourth round there for the first time in her career, beating brazil's beatriz haddaj maia in straight sets. cam norrie is through to the third round after beating italy's flavio cobolli in three. and he's done it, too — andy murray is into round three after an impressive win over argentina's tomas martin etcheverry. the man who beat him in the opening round of the australian open. murray, a two time winner in miami, winning 7—6, 6—3 and he'll play the czech player tomas machac next. but jack draper is out. he squandered two match points to lose in three to chile's nicolas jarry in a gruelling contest that lasted 3.5 hours.

and dan evan has also gone out in the second round, he also squandered match points, losing in three to chris eubanks. notjust tennis in miami this morning. we've had the australian grand prix in formula 1. awarning — i'm going to tell you the result. it was an eventful race. max verstappen's bid to win a record—equalling 10th successive race went up in smoke as ferrari's carlos sainz completed a remarkable comeback to win it a fortnight after having his appendix removed. sainz started alongside world champion verstappen who was on pole. but the dutchman handed him the lead after having to retire his red bull with brake problems. the race finished under safety car conditions after britain's george russell crashed his mercedez at the end. he was unhurt. sainz claimed victory ahead of his team mate charles leclerc with the mclaren of britain's lando norris completing the podium. lewis hamilton retired with an engine failure. and finally, back to football because there was a heart—warming moment for the former england manager sven goren eriksson. he was in charge of a liverpool legends team, and saw them beat an ajax greats side at anfield. after recently announcing he'd been diagnosed with terminal cancer,

erikssen said he'd always dreamt of managing liverpool during his career — and admitted he was brought to tears by the experience. it's — cry. no, it's beautiful, of course. and to sit on the bench for liverpool has been my dream my whole life. so now it happened. and it was a beautiful day. in all meanings — the crowd, the game, the players, everything. fantastic. and thank you to liverpool for giving me this opportunity, to remind me. he says he has been a lifelong level fan. level coming from 2—0 down to win 4—2. fan. level coming from 2-0 down to win 4-2. ~ : :, :, i. fan. level coming from 2-0 down to win 4-2. ~ : :, :, :, win 4-2. we will chat to you a little later- — win 4-2. we will chat to you a little later. -- — win 4-2. we will chat to you a little later. -- liverpool- win 4-2. we will chat to you a i little later. -- liverpool coming little later. —— liverpool coming from 2—0. it isa it is a lovely day with the

most on this week's edition of click. of britain's nuclear stations most of britain's nuclear power stations were built in the 19505 or 605. at the time very went into what would happen to them when they reach the end of their useful life. triage the end of their useful life. now across uk _ the end of their useful life. now across uk many _ the end of their useful life. now across uk many are _ the end of their useful life. now across uk many are in _ the end of their useful life. ijr across uk many are in various stages of decommissioning. chris has been to 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 facilities, 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. chris, welcome. this is the dounreay fast reactor. well, would you look at that? goodness, 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, sealed,

that's housing a reactor that sits over here. and the reactor is slowly being taken down? slowly decommissioned, yes,. 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. 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. 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 simple. ok, so this isjust 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 decommissioning 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 dissolving it and reprocessing it and dealing with the waste. i've got waste storage facilities that i have to transport the waste. 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 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. and 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 around 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. 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 is where 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. 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. 0ne, 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 — all in the wall. so these layers are great, actually, for coral growth. and then lastly, you're not just 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 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 takes just 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 their first 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. that's it for the shortcut of this week '5 show. the full length is waiting for you on iplayer. week 's show. the full length is waiting for you on iplayer. thanks for watching. _ waiting for you on iplayer. thanks for watching, we _ waiting for you on iplayer. thanks for watching, we will— waiting for you on iplayer. thanks for watching, we will be _ waiting for you on iplayer. thanks for watching, we will be back i waiting for you on iplayer. thanks for watching, we will be back with you next week.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with luxmy gopal and ben thompson. our headlines today... a day of national mourning in russia after friday's attack on a concert hall that killed more than 130 people. the islamic state group has claimed responsibility. warnings of missile attacks across the whole of ukraine — with the capital kyiv targeted by russian air strikes overnight. the prince and princess of wales say they're "enormously touched and extremely moved" by the public�*s support following catherine's cancer announcement.

can england win a sixth women's six nations title in a row? they play their tournament opener against italy today with captain marlie packer set for her hundredth cap. cheering the british runner rewriting history — jasmin paris becomes the first woman to finish one of the world's toughest ultramarathons, with just 99 seconds to spare. good morning to you. part two of the weekend's _ good morning to you. part two of the weekend's weather looks better than yesterday _ weekend's weather looks better than yesterday. we should see more sunshine — yesterday. we should see more sunshine around and they were showers. — sunshine around and they were showers, so it should feel a little bit warmer. join me later for the details — it's sunday the 24th of march. our main story... russia has begun a national day of mourning — after at least 133 people were killed in an attack

on a rock concert in moscow. the islamic state group says it was responsible, but russia's security services have claimed the assailants had links to ukraine — something which kyiv has fiercely denied. our russia editor steve rosenberg has the details. in what was left of crocus city, the full horror of what happened became clear. the attackers had torched the building. a rock concert became an inferno. gunfire but first, the gunman had opened fire. gunfire to kill as many of the audience as possible — in one constant stream of bullets. russia says the four gunman who did this have been arrested. and claims they planned to cross into ukraine. kyiv denies any connection to the attack. it's islamic state that's claimed responsibility. president putin promised vengeance.

translation: all the - perpetrators and organisers of this crime and those who ordered it will be justly and inevitably punished, whoever they are, whoever is guiding them. those terrorists, murderers, monsters face the same unenviable fate — retribution and oblivion. in moscow, there were long queues to donate blood for the many who had been wounded in the attack and rushed to hospital. outside crocus city hall — a hint of the devastation inside. the first thing you notice isn't the sight of the building — it's the smell. the air is thick with smoke because the concert hall was burning all night. the next thing you notice is what is happening over there, people are bringing flowers, creating a makeshift shrine to the dead. margarita knows she's lucky. she was in the building when the shooting

began and got out alive. translation: when i got home, i hugged my children, _ fell to my knees and said, "i can't begin to describe what happened there. they were shooting at us." i was hysterical. my husband could barely watch. the children were terrified. theyjust hugged me. but so many died here. there were so many victims of the deadliest attack in russia in 20 years. president putin has declared a national day of mourning. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. and steve joins us now from moscow. good morning to you. as we have said, islamic state group claiming responsibility, but we know russian authorities are still here are trying to implicate ukraine? yes. authorities are still here are trying to implicate ukraine? yes, on the one hand _ trying to implicate ukraine? yes, on the one hand islamic _ trying to implicate ukraine? yes, on the one hand islamic state - trying to implicate ukraine? yes, on the one hand islamic state said i trying to implicate ukraine? yes, on the one hand islamic state said it i the one hand islamic state said it did this. islamic state has released

graphic images of the attack. us officials have said they have no reason to doubt the islamic state claim. but on the other hand, russia, russian officials continue to promote the brand narrative that somehow, in some way ukraine was linked to this attack, without providing any evidence. for example, yesterday we saw vladimir putin giving a tv address, and addressed to the nation, announcing that foregone men had been arrested and suggesting that these men had been on their way to the ukrainian border. he said a window had been prepared for them on the ukrainian side to cross the border. that has been totally denied by kyiv, and in fact president zelensky of ukraine, he says that vladimir putin is just looking for someone to blame. but it is notjust putin. we have heard similar comments from other russian officials trying to find some kind

officials trying to find some kind of link to ukraine. which raises the question, i think, of link to ukraine. which raises the question, ithink, what of link to ukraine. which raises the question, i think, what does russia intend to do next? will russia try to use this devastating attack to justify an escalation in its war on ukraine? 9 : :, , ., justify an escalation in its war on ukraine? 9 : :, , :, :, ukraine? quite clearly, we are not aroin to ukraine? quite clearly, we are not going to show _ ukraine? quite clearly, we are not going to show any _ ukraine? quite clearly, we are not going to show any of _ ukraine? quite clearly, we are not going to show any of that - ukraine? quite clearly, we are not going to show any of that islamici going to show any of that islamic state group video, but i do want to show viewers the seen live in moscow and outside the venue right now. a tragedy for those involved, there is involved. there is pictures coming involved. there is pictures coming in from us live. quite clearly, lots of people laying flowers outside that venue. it is a national day of mourning in russia, isn't it? what exactly does that involve? aha, exactly does that involve? national day of mourning here, russian flags fly at half mast, entertainment and sports events across the country are cancelled, entertainment programmes on russian tv. i was watching russian television this morning, the news, and the newsreader was wearing

black. you mentioned the flowers. yes, there were lots of people yesterday bringing flowers to crocus city hall. they will be more people today. because this attack has shocked the nation, for sure. i mean, the death toll stands at 133. but officials are warning that that could well rise because the search continues inside their four more bodies. the authorities released images from inside crocus city hall which showed the scale of destruction, the right football than in, beams had correct, —— collapsed, so the fear is once all of that debris is cleared away more bodies will be found.— will be found. thank you for now. that is our— will be found. thank you for now. that is our russia _ will be found. thank you for now. that is our russia editor - will be found. thank you for now. that is our russia editor live i will be found. thank you for now. that is our russia editor live in i that is our russia editor live in moscow. further developments in ukraine overnight, luxmy has the details. russia has launched air attacks on multiple locations in ukraine overnight, with kyiv claiming it has shot down

43 missiles and drones. poland's armed forces have also claimed a russian cruise missile violated its air space. our reporter vincent mcaviney has more. in the early hours of sunday morning, ukrainians were awoken by multiple explosions across the country, prompting many to seek safety in shelters once again. a national alert was issued, with the ukrainian military saying its air defence systems were engaged in repelling the attack. kyiv has been targeted. a military spokesperson saying a dozen russian missiles had been destroyed over the capital and its vicinity. there have been no reports of casualties or major damage as a result of these attacks. the north—western border region of lviv has also come under fire. the mayor of lviv said the city had been spared, but about 20 missiles and seven attack drones had been launched against the broader region,

targeting critical infrastructure. neighbouring poland says it has activated its air force to ensure the safety of polish airspace. russia is observing an official day of mourning today, following friday's attack on a constant hall outside moscow. president zelensky responded furiously to russian claims that kyiv was in any way involved. moscow has not yet commented on this morning's strikes. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. the prince and princess of wales have thanked the public for its support after catherine revealed she is receiving cancer treatment. in a statement released last night, kensington palace said the couple have been touched by the kind messages, and are grateful that people understand their request for privacy. our royal correspondent daniela relph reports. this is the national with erica johnson. catherine, the princess of wales, made a shocking announcement... making headlines globally.

kate middleton... the impact of the princess' diagnosis has been felt far and wide. her video message was the most direct and personal we have ever seen the princess. this, of course, came as a huge shock. it was also an attempt to shut down the rumours. i think what the princess of wales is hoping is that this message will be direct enough to appeal to people's better natures and say, "look, the invasion of privacy that has been going on on social media for the last couple of months has just been way too much. people need to stop and think and not engage in that kind of activity going forward." and now a fresh statement from kensington palace — a public thank you. it said:

family has rallied around the princess, including those with whom relations are strained. the duke and duchess of sussex sent a public message of support. the bbc understands they have also reached out privately. public sympathy remains strong. we've been thinking of her all along and wish her the best. they're going through something so private and hard and, you know, the public eye on it, it's really tough, to be honest. yeah, she's got young kids, right? and she's a human being, so i thought it was all quite upsetting. protecting her three children has been a priority for the princess of wales. she said she's taken time to explain and reassure george, charlotte and louis. the new message from the prince and princess is both a thank you and a polite warning. they now want to be left alone.

we don't expect to hear from them over the easter holiday. instead, we may see the king back in the royal spotlight. christmas at sandringham — the last full gathering of the royal family. next sunday, many will be back for the easter church service in windsor. buckingham palace are hopeful the king will also be there. daniela relph, bbc news. nearly 300 school children abducted by gunmen in northern nigeria have been released. families were left desperate for information when the children — aged between 8 and 15 — were taken from a school earlier this month, in the north—west of the country. the regional governor says they have been released unharmed. at least ten people have been arrested during weekly mass protests in the israeli capital, tel aviv. protestors are demanding a deal be reached to release hostages still held by hamas in gaza. richard taylor, the father of damilola taylor who was killed using a broken

bottle, has died aged 75. his son was just ten—years—old when he was stabbed and left to die in a south london stairwell in 2000. following damilola's death, mr taylor became an anti—knife crime campaigner, and dedicated his life to improving the lives of young people. now for a good news story that we mentioned in the headlines a little earlier. a vet from midlothian has become the first woman to complete one of the world's hardest running races. jasmin paris finished the 100—mile barkley marathons in tennessee with just 99 seconds to spare. our reporter simonjones has the details. cheering she said her body was screaming at her to stop, butjasmin paris believed in herself and made it to that finish gate. her legs scratched from days of running through thick woodland. this is what exhaustion combined with joy looks like.

the legendary course once featured in a documentary called the race that eats its young — the barkley marathons involve running up and down the equivalent of 60,000 feet, about twice the height of mount everest, in extreme heat. the route is unmarked, so competitors have to memorise it and it begins when the race creator, known as laz, lights a cigarette. and for some people, just to get back to camp alive is all they want in the world. fellow ultramarathon runners are full of awe. she has learned, she's grown, she's trained hard in races, and, of course, you have to train every week and be consistent, building up your mileage, building up the strength and endurance in your body, to even attempt the barkley marathons. there are some very, very famous well—rounded runners, with huge amounts of experience, who get one loop done

of the barkley marathons and then tap out and say, "that was too hard" — jasmin paris did all five loops. this is jasmin about to set off on the final loop — and it's not the first time she's made history. in 2019, she completed the spine race, from derbyshire to the scottish borders, a mere 268 miles, in 83 hours, 12 minutes and 23 seconds. she broke the course record by more than 12 hours, expressing milk for her baby along the way. i did lots of long, long runs, often mainly in the dark, actually, getting up at 4am and training in the dark, and carrying my full pack — so long days over christmas and new year, training in the hills. jasmin, who's a vet back home cannot currently speak because she did so much heavy breathing over the 100 miles, but she sent us a text to say, "i'm overjoyed to have finished

the barkley marathons. it still hasn't really sunk in that i finally have done it. that said, i had a strong feeling in the months of training in the run—up to the race that i could do it. those final moments have redefined for me when i am capable of." now, some much deserved rest before the inevitable next challenge. we have seen this many times this morning. ijust can't get over what an amazing achievement it is. ijust cannot get my head around how it is possible. cannot get my head around how it is ossible. , :, , cannot get my head around how it is ossible. ,:, , ,:, cannot get my head around how it is ossible. i. , : possible. exerting yourself so much ou have possible. exerting yourself so much you have lost _ possible. exerting yourself so much you have lost your _ possible. exerting yourself so much you have lost your voice. _ possible. exerting yourself so much you have lost your voice. 99 i possible. exerting yourself so much i you have lost your voice. 99 seconds to spare. and from one extreme race to another — hundreds of waiting staff will be running through the streets of paris, desperately trying not to spill trays of coffee and croissants. it is because the famous waiters' race returns to the city after a 13—year break. the contest, which is over 100 years old, sees servers complete a two—kilometre loop while trying to avoid any spillages.

paris stopped hosting the event in 2008 because of the cost, but it's been revived in the run—up to the olympics. a little earlier, ijuggled two cups of coffee and brought them down. you didn't do it very well, though. given i was doing it in heels. there is shoes are a much more balanced approach to balancing coffee. you still sot approach to balancing coffee. you still spot them. _ approach to balancing coffee. you still spot them. i _ approach to balancing coffee. you still spot them. i know. _ here's stav with a look at the weather. and more daffodils. beautiful. a bit of a chilly start _ and more daffodils. beautiful. a bit of a chilly start out _ and more daffodils. beautiful. a bit of a chilly start out there this morning. unlike yesterday, it looks like things will recover slightly. we should see the temperature is lifting a bit more into the afternoon, because the winds will be turning lighter and we should see more sunshine around as the showers become more confined to eastern parts of the country, closer to that area of low pressure that brought us

all of their showers yesterday. a ridge of high pressure building in, still in this chillier air mass. this wedge of air is tied in with some rain that should arrive in western areas overnight. we can see where the showers have been. a few pepper and western coasts, northern ireland, wales, into south—west england. into the some snow on the hills of scotland. a few peppering the east coast of england, but further west it will be mainly dry. variable amounts of cloud. it will be clouding up later in the day over northern ireland, west wales, the south—west of england ahead of that weather front. temperatures up to 13 degrees in the south. yesterday they just about made double figures. it was a chilly day with those strong winds. tonight, it turns what your end with your across western areas, dryer conditions in northern and eastern parts of the country. lorries on the hills of scotland. a touch of frost as the winds will be

light and clear skies. milder further west. monday, this area of low pressure setting out to the west of the country. it is here we will see stronger winds, outbreaks of rain. further east, tending to stay dry brighter with. dry brighter is rain. further east, tending to stay dry brighter is this rain pushes forwards into the cold air, an increasing chance of hill snow. for much of central, southern, eastern england, some sunshine perhaps, particularly towards the south—east. chilly all day across northern areas, and also quite cool where you have the breeze and the rain. it doesn't look that much better as we head through the week in the run—up to easter. we hold onto low—pressure nearby. very consistent, bringing outbreaks of rain, followed by sunshine and showers. earlier in the week, in the next few days, with that cold air moving across scotland, stow on the hills. heading into the easter weekend, this milder

air mass pushing in there. an unsettled week to come as you can see on the icons. but towards the end of the week, into the easter weekend, the temperatures lifting a little bit closer to where we should be for the time of year. that is it for me. :. ~ be for the time of year. that is it for me. :, ,, i. ,,, :, ,, be for the time of year. that is it for me. :, ,, i. :, ,, :, be for the time of year. that is it for me. :, ,, .«r :, for me. thank you. speak to you later. for me. thank you. speak to you later- the _ for me. thank you. speak to you later. the time, _ for me. thank you. speak to you later. the time, 8:20am. i women born in the 19505 — who were massively affected by a decision to increase the state pension age — say politicians are still shying away from the issue of compensation. neither the government, nor labour, has issued an official response to a watchdog's report — released four days ago — which found that women were not given fair warning of the change, and deserve financial recompense. we're joined now by former pensions minister baroness ros altmann and the waspi — that's women against state pension inequality — campaigner ann edwards. good morning to you both. i would like to start with you because there

the time isjust the time is just past half past eight. thank you forjoining us. it's been revealed that nearly half of playgrounds in the uk are not suitable for disabled children. a survey by the charity scope found that more than a thousand play areas had little or no accessibility. now they're launching a new tool to help parents find spaces that are suitable for their children. our reporter louisa pilbeam has more. woah! nine—year—old benjamin loves playing with his brothers in the playground. but because he has cerebral palsy, epilepsy and is registered blind, it's not always this easy because not all playgrounds are like this one, where equipment can be used by disabled children. according to new figures, half of the uk's public play areas are unfit for children with disabilities. one day we went to the local park,

we lifted him into the standard toddler swing and he actually got stuck, where his legs had gone really stiff from his cerebral palsy. we really struggled to remove him from the swing safely. and that was the defining moment for me, thinking as a family with three very active boys, as a family, are we actually going to be able to access and enjoy local play parks. we quickly realised that the answer was no. and despite his diagnosis, benjamin absolutely loves to be swung high, he loves to go down a slide really fast. and he loves to be included. the latest research comes from disability charity scope who interviewed families of disabled children about their experiences of 1,000 playgrounds across the uk. common problems include gates that aren't wide enough to get a wheelchair through. no step—free equipment or the floor being made of a material not safe for those who have extra needs. it's 2024 and we're still having to make the case for accessibility.

the fact is disabled children want to play too, and why shouldn't they? and it's perfectly achievable, it's not that difficult to make our playgrounds more accessible, more inclusive. scope have launched a digital map to try and help families where you can look up playgrounds across the uk and find out how they've been rated by other families. the charity is calling on the government to do more. a government spokesperson said in a statement... those changes are needed to ensure children like benjamin don't miss out on life. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. sunday with laura kuenssberg is on bbc one at 9

o'clock this morning. let's hear what she has lined up. at 9 o'clock on bbc one we have a busy 60 minutes for you this morning. we'll be talking about the royal family and talking about whether the economy is really starting to recover. with us live in the studio will be the chancellor, jeremy hunt, and we'll be speaking to a former press secretary to william and catherine. plenty more besides. see you at 9. that is all coming up soon. spring has sprung — just about — and you might be planning a walk in the countryside. if you're taking a dog, it's never been more important to keep them on a lead. last year, dog attacks on livestock increased by nearly a third, prompting farmers and police to bite back. our reporter ross pollard visited one farm to see the impact. bleating. you see both life and death on a

regular basis working on a farm. well, a lot of these ewes i would know from birth, a lot of them. i would know... all right, wouldn't know names, obviously, but i would know and just recognise them. and that's what the job's all about. dave's farmed here for most of his life. he says problems with dogs chasing and killing his sheep have got worse. this recent footage of dogs attacking his sheep led to serious injuries. the owner had the dogs taken away from them. i was livid. absolutely tamping. ewes there ripped to bits, legs hanging off, stomachs hanging out. it was cruel. it was terrible. you don't want to see it. and over the last ten years, i've probably lost 50 sheep. monetary terms, £7,000. stress, £5 million. itjust done my head in. iwas... i was gutted. absolutely gutted. whisky charlie golf one. just to make you aware,

i've gone steak six at the farm... gloucestershire police arejoining a national campaign called operation recall, getting the public to keep dogs on a lead when walking through farmland to prevent them from chasing livestock. dog attacks, unfortunately, have gone up by 30% in 2023 as opposed to 2022. ourfarmers, sometimes we go out to see them and they're just sort of like, well, what can we do? what can we do? you know, we don't know who they are. dogs just turn up. and like mr williams said today, the owners must know because their dogs are going back covered in blood. they must be aware and that can all be prevented simply by putting your dog on a lead and ensuring that it's appropriately trained. this lamb is only a few days old and it'll be out on the field tomorrow, and that's why the farmer here is especially keen to make sure that people keep their dogs on leads. i don't want to see them suffer. there's nothing worse than seeing animals suffer. it's not only the sheep that's being ripped to bits. you've got your vet bill. you've got to get rid of that sheep, which is a colossal amount of money. so it costs you absolute fortune.

although the campaign is for a week, the police want people to take away lessons for life. if in doubt, keep your dog on a lead in the countryside. ross pollard, bbc news. bleating. rachel hallos is the vice president of the national farmers union. good morning, so lovely to see you. this is an annual problem in lambing season but how much of a problem is that? it season but how much of a problem is that? , ., , season but how much of a problem is that? . ., , :: ,': that? it is getting worse. in 2023 the figures _ that? it is getting worse. in 2023 the figures we've _ that? it is getting worse. in 2023 the figures we've had _ that? it is getting worse. in 2023 the figures we've had three - that? it is getting worse. in 2023 the figures we've had three from | that? it is getting worse. in 2023 . the figures we've had three from the nfu mutual, leading insurers on this, _ nfu mutual, leading insurers on this, we've — nfu mutual, leading insurers on this, we've got a growth of 30%. thats— this, we've got a growth of 30%. that's an — this, we've got a growth of 30%. that's an increase of 2.4 million to the industry — that's an increase of 2.4 million to the industry. that'sjust for animals— the industry. that'sjust for animals we've actually found this has happened to, the ones that have been seriously maimed or have died. this is— been seriously maimed or have died. this is a _ been seriously maimed or have died. this is a growing problem. is been seriously maimed or have died. this is a growing problem.— this is a growing problem. is that as art of this is a growing problem. is that as part of a _

cap for the red roses — and says the team is hungrier than ever for success. the goal for this six nations to go out there and win it, like, a grand slam win. but we need to make sure that, you know, we perform in each game. and it's notjust about the points on the board. it's how we come off as players, like, we have targets within defence or attack that we want to hit in those games. that's what i think us as red roses will be defined whether this six nations has been successful or not for us. the women's six nations got underway with one of england's big rivals — france — getting off to a winning start, beating ireland, whilst scotland edged past wales. jo currie has more. cheering. whistle. relief and joy. scotland with a huge victory, but by the narrowest of margins. they started the match the stronger, coreen grant dodging her way to the line for the opening try. helen nelson with the impressive extras. after the restart, the visitors pushed further ahead.

rhona lloyd flying down the wing, avoiding the tackle, just, to go in at the corner. roared on by the cardiff crowd, wales finally got their rewards when cecilia tuipulotu rammed her way home to give them hope. as her side threw everything at scotland in the dying moments replays showed alex callander had got the ball down to set up a blockbuster finish. a conversion to seal the draw and complete an impressive comeback. perhaps it was nerves... the kick drifts wide. frustration for wales. in comparison, a very happy journey home for scotland. earlier, france wasted no time to go in front as they entertained ireland. whistle. and they continue to show their quality, this their second of their five—try haul. they've looked for it a couple of times and that time it sticks. ireland much improved a year on from picking up the wooden spoon, pounced when they could,

but france were simply too strong. jo currie, bbc news. in rugby's premiership, there was a huge win for saracens — as they moved up to second in the table. they ran in eight tries — as they thrashed harlequins 52—7 in front in front of over 60,000 fans at the tottenham hotspur stadium. the win moves sarries above quins who drop to fifth. exeter are third after beating newcastle 25—16. from rugby to football. england's 21 match unbeaten run at wembley is over after a 1—0 defeat to brazil in last night's friendly. just three games remain between now and the european championship this summer — with plenty for gareth southgate to think about. before the match kicked off though, wembley paid tribute to terry venables — in the first england international since the death of their former manager at the age of 80 last november. once under way, brazil had an effort cleared off the line and hit the post —

but eventually made the breakthrough ten minutes from time. 17—year—old endrick with his first international goal. he's the youngest goal—scorer at wembley in a senior international. domestically, we may only be in march — but we have our first promotion of the season. that honour goes to chesterfield, who are back in the football league. their 3—0 win against boreham wood not only sealed promotion — but also the national league title. chesterfield went top of the table in the middle of september and have stayed there since. chelsea must beat west ham in the wsl later to return to the top of the league. manchester city are three points clear after a 3—1win in the manchester derby yesterday. jess park with a brilliant performance and scoring twice against united as city look to win their first wsl title since 2016. it's been a busy few hours in miami for the british players in the singles. katie boulter is through to the fourth round there for the first time in her career — beating brazil's beatriz haddaj maia in straight sets. cam norrie is through to the third round after beating

italy's flavio cobolli in three. and — he's done it too...andy murray is into round three — after an impressive win over argentina's tomas martin etcheverry. the man who beat him in the opening round of the australian open. murray, a two—time winner in miami, winning 7—6, 6—3 and he'll play the czech player thomas mahac next. notjust tennis in miami this morning, we've had the austalian open grand prix in f1. awarning... i'm going to tell you the result... it was an eventful race. max verstappen's bid to win a record—equalling tenth successive race went up in smoke as ferrari's carlos sainz completed a remarkable comeback to win it a fortnight after having his appendix removed. sainz started alongside world champion verstappen who was on pole. but the dutchman handed him the lead after having to retire his red bull with brake problems. the race finished under safety car conditions after britain's george russell crashed his mercedez at the end. he was unhurt. sainz claimed victory ahead of his team mate charles leclerc, with the mclaren of britain's lando norris

completing the podium. lewis hamilton retired with an engine failure. and finally, back to football because there was a heart—warming moment for the former england manager sven goren eriksson. he was in charge of a liverpool legends team — and saw them beat an ajax greats side at anfield. after recently announcing he'd been diagnosed with terminal cancer, erikssen said he'd always dreamt of managing liverpool during his career — and admitted he was brought to tears by the experience. it's crying. no, it's beautiful, of course. to sit on the bench for liverpool that's been my dream my whole life. so now it happened. and it was a beautiful day in all meanings. the crowd, the game, the players, everything. fantastic! and thank you to liverpool for giving me this opportunity to invite me.

a special moment for the man who says he has always been a liverpool fan. thank you so much. if you've been watching breakfast for the last couple of days you'll know the former footballers marcus stewart and stephen darby are taking part in an epic challenge to find a cure for motor neurone disease — which they're both living with. the challenge is called march of the day and it's a 178—mile hike — done with friends and supporters — from bradford to liverpool, taking in 19 football stadia along the way. yesterday morning, we caught up with them at old trafford and the salford city ground. now let's see how the rest of the day went for them. breakfast�*sjohn maguire has the story. after two days and two nights of nonstop walking, the march of the day team are approaching the final stretch.

cheering. friends and family of the former professional footballers marcus stewart and stephen darby, both living with motor neurone disease have pounded the pavements and the roads with the weather doing its worst. spirits, though, have remained high. they know what they're doing is so important. i don't think i'll...it�*ll sink in for a few days or a week or so, when you get time to sit down and go through your social media and get time to think about what happened and look at photographs. at the moment, i am pleasantly surprised because i don't get very emotional and i did a bit this morning on the way here in the car because it's a special thing we're doing and a special thing we need to keep doing. the 19 football clubs along the route from bradford to liverpool yesterday included bolton where stephen played and received a hero's welcome back. we have been working with stephen and the foundation for a while now,

we wanted to do something bigger every time we do something. we do it because we love the guy and we just want to make life easier for him, and if we can play a small part in financing the research to find a cure then that's great. this is football's chance to join the campaign led by rugby raising awareness of mnd and money to fund search for an ultimate care. last night, they were joined by kevin sinfield who with his former team—mate rob burrow has raised so many millions to fight this disease. at the end of today, they'll have walked in relays for 178 miles. the final approach is expected to be emotionally charged. stephen's wife, steph houghton, the manchester city captain, willjoin the walkers. anfield is the finish line and the end of this particular challenge. but those living with motor

neurone disease face many more challenges ahead. john maguire, bbc news. marcus, stephen and the team are due to finish at anfield stadium tonight. we'll bring you the full story on tomorrow's breakfast. nuns have been singing in abbeys for hundreds of years — but it's not often you'll find them at abbey road studios. that is a great picture, isn't it? the poor clare sisters of arundel — who scored a hit album four years ago — have now recorded their second one at the famous london venue. let's have a listen to one of the tracks. choral singing.

for the economy — all to come. bouncing back? well, prices are rising more slowly as inflation fades. the prime minister is mad keen to claim it's a moment to cheer. we have turned a corner after the shocks of the past few

years, and 2024 will prove to be the year that the economy bounces back. but are the only real green shoots on the spring leaves? plenty of us are still feeling the pinch. sometimes ijust don't even, like, pay for my wi—fi because i can't, so we'll have to go without. yet politics stopped for a moment as the princess of wales revealed her cancer diagnosis, after weeks of lurid speculation. 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. but with local elections coming, soon millions of you will be asked to choose. things are getting better, the tories claim. not so fast, their rivals say. so, our main question this morning — is the economy really getting back on track? jeremy hunt reckons the answer's yes — he's with us live. the chair of the labour party, anneliese dodds,

might not be so sure. she's with us, too.
