to every year. last year, as i said, they were out in force, and that was they were out in force, and that was the first time the monarch had been at the head of the royal party since becoming the monarch. so the king today will be giving a sign of reassurance that all is well with him. he has been meeting people privately and in meetings inside, but this is the first time we have seen him outside, out and about, and it is seen as a reassuring sign. aruna, thank you. easter services taking place all over the country and all the world today. the archbishop of canterbury is expected to use his easter sermon to call for more action in helping people caught up in conflicts, especially in gaza, ukraine and sudan. pope francis is also preparing to deliver his annual message and blessing from st peter's square in rome. the appearance comes just two days after the vatican unexpectedly announced the pope would miss the good friday procession to "conserve his health" ahead of a busy weekend.

than some saw yesterday, and they will be a few more showers returning to eastern areas. we begin with some showers across the west. we have loop — a close nearby still, slipping further south at the moment. in doing so, we have more of an easterly breeze developing today, picking up low cloud across the north sea. that will push into central and eastern england. a grey day here, which will bring outbreaks of rain and drizzle. the day starts with heavy showers in northern ireland, but they will depart in disguise will brighten. some of the best weather will be found across scotland today before that luke cloud —— cloud creeps up the eastern coast. temperature is rather suppressed, nine or 10 degrees, but going inland it should be a good deal higher. the best of the weather in western scotland, 15 or 16 as we go through into this afternoon. afternoon sunshine as well across the south. here this evening we will see heavy and potentially thundery showers, within turning right across parts of northern england and north midlands. driest and clearest still across parts of western scotland, where temperatures could drop low

it's fair to say seagulls aren't at the top of most people's lists. they're seen by many as food—stealing pests, but scientists say they are actually very intelligent. conservation experts are warning that gull populations across the uk are dwindling and attitudes need to change. helen briggs reports. seagulls sharing of their flying skills on a winters day. they may be a common site in the case but some populations are in trouble. i do a common site in the case but some populations are in trouble.— populations are in trouble. i do not think people _ populations are in trouble. i do not think people realise _ populations are in trouble. i do not think people realise that _ populations are in trouble. i do not think people realise that the - think people realise that the numbers especially of reading seagulls have been declining. perhaps they do not take as much notice of them. they are in our towns and parts and open areas and we have become quite familiar with them. _, ., , ., ~

brentford finally taking one of their umpteen opportunities. kristoffer ajer's equaliser earning his side a deserved point. no complaints afterwards from the united manager. bre ntford brentford were better. they showed more passion and desire, determination than we did but then if you win, i think that is the quality of this team and if they hang in the game and i have to say, they fight for it, but they have to be able to show more. aston villa maintained their hopes of champions league football next season, beating wolves 2—0 at villa park. moussa diaby scoring the pick of the goals to leave unai emery�*s side fourth, three points clear of spurs. a late goal too at tottenham, son heung—min scoring four minutes from time, as spurs came from behind to beat luton 2—1. they stay fifth, whilst luton slip

they put in so much through four miles. some barely had the strength to finish. they won by 10 seconds, but 0xford had an explanation. we've had a few guys go down pretty badly with the e.coli strain. so, i mean, this morning i was throwing up. it would have been ideal not to have so much poo in the water. but, you know, that's not to take away from cambridge. they were a talented crew. i don't know if we would have had a chance to get them, even if we'd all been on form. so it's in no way to make excuses. the women's boat race was close until it changed on a moment. oxford, i'm warning you, oxford. that stern word from the umpire was to stop the boats colliding. 0xford fell back and cambridge powered on to chiswick. it's their seventh straight win and the men's fifth in six years. but what did change this year was the team's celebration. by tradition, the coxes get thrown in the river. but this year on the thames, they're staying out of the water. joe lynskey, bbc news.

chasing a third successive grand slam and a sixth six nations title in a row, england have made it two wins from two in the women's six nations championship, as they beat wales, 46—10, at ashton gate in bristol. the red roses ran away with it as expected, securing the winning bonus point by halftime, with four tries. they ran in eight tries in total, including two from ellie kildunne. the crowd ofjust under 20,000 is a record for an england's women's home match away from twickenham. france also made it two wins from two, but they almost suffered a huge upset at the hands of scotland. they thrashed them last year, but had to come from behind in edinburgh, eventually winning by 15 points to 5 and denying scotland a losing bonus point right at the end of the match. job done in the end for france. that

now, one thing that gets most of us excited when planning a trip is the chance to tuck into tasty, authentic dishes from other parts of the globe, from traditional delicacies to spicy street food, and even maybe michelin—starred menus from some of the most celebrated chefs on the planet. well, this week we've got a feast for your eyes, with a menu full of some of our favourite travel show foodie adventures.

for starters, let's look back at that time i headed to glasgow, in scotland, on a culinary quest to find the story behind britain's most popular dish — and it's not what you maybe think it is. glasgow is often voted the world's friendliest city, and locals pride themselves on their good cheer, good humour and chattiness. it's one reason that generations of immigrants from all over the world have decided to call glasgow home. and it's here where britain's most popular dish was born — and it is not fish and chips. this is chicken tikka masala. it's boneless chunks of chicken marinated in a sauce of tomato and cream, and it has this fantastic orange colour because of the spice mix. mm. you can get the dish all over the city. but according to local legend, the original chicken tikka masala was created here at the shish mahal restaurant in the 1970s. every day the chef marinates 30kg of chicken, and roasts up to 400

skewers in his tandoor. this is our secret sauce. you can taste it. all right, here we go. that's got some kick to it. have you ever told anyone outside of the restaurant what's inside? no. well, he's staying tight lipped. so i head over to the dining room to meet with ali asif. this is my dad with... asif�*s father, sadly, passed away in december, but his legacy lives on through the family restaurant, where in the early 1970s he's reputed to have created the world's first tikka masala. it all started when a grumpy bus driver complained that his chicken was too dry. asif�*s dad needed a quick fix, so he grabbed a can of tomato soup that he'd already opened. dad put the tomato soup into the curry, heated it up and served it, and the customer loved it.

the customer asked, "what is this called?" "tikka masala. " because it's the most generic name he could think. so, these days you can get tikka masala as a pizza topping, frozen at the grocery store, as a takeaway. what do you make of everyone copying your dad's recipe? he said people enjoying food is more important than where it came from or who invented it. he used to say he was born in pakistan, but he was made in glasgow. like any legendary dish, the origins of the chicken tikka masala are disputed — but asif�*s dad remains a local hero anyway. he was part of a wave of people from pakistan, india, and current—day bangladesh who came to scotland in the 1950s when the uk faced a labour shortage. but rather than returning to their home country after five years, as was so often the plan, many families decided to stay. and today, more than 60,000 people of south asian descent live here and in the surrounding area. we're off to meet the comedian,

sanjeev kohli, at one of his favourite spots in the city. sanjeev, i hope you don't mind. i took the liberty of getting a little snack — the paper dosa. 0k...! not so little. i feel like i should wear this. it looks like a flotation device. it does...! you could probably get into that. scotland in the winter, it's a bit like finland. you need your comfort food. it's freezing. it's been dark for seven hours. sushi ain't going to cut it. it's got to be comfort food. and the thing about indian food, it is comforting, like a big fluffy naan bread, like a pillow, you know what i mean? 0r pakora. it's just all there. all the salt, all the fat, all the stuff. indian food is the most popular food in scotland. anywhere you see fish and chips, you can see curry. that's how integrated, certainly, the cuisine is. and i've always thought that the cuisine, the story of the cuisine reflects the story of the people, if you know what i mean? glasgow is curry, and curry in glasgow. a mouthwatering

memory from scotland. and i don't need to be asked twice, if there are any more trips like that one. next up, we're crossing the sea to ireland — a country that in recent years has undergone a bit of a gastronomic renaissance. kate hardie—buckley returned to her home county, now the country's top foodie destination to tuck in. welcome to west cork. this is the mizen peninsula, the most south—westerly tip of the island of ireland. i've been coming to this part of the world since i was eight years old. people are drawn here by the dramatic scenery, the arts and the great craic — and now they're flocking here for the local cuisine. west cork was recently voted ireland's food capital. the history of the area is as rich

and diverse as its food. along the coast, you'll find caves where pirates smuggled their treasures. it's where marconi sent the first transatlantic radio transmission to america. and it was here the first famine death was recorded, the first of over a million across ireland, with a further two million people emigrating. so, this is the skibbereen saturday market. at the height of summer, i think maybe the best market anywhere in the country. this is the freshest mozzarella available in ireland right now. it's like lactic poetry. april makes the most astonishing potions. slainte. when we think of vinegars, we think of something that's harsh and aggressive — and that's gentle.

obviously, i can taste the apple... mm—hm. ..but there's like a berry taste to it, or something like that? maybe even the whiskey. you'll taste the whiskey. the whiskey! they laugh bit early for the whiskey. the skibbereen market continues to slowly but organically grow and get better. people, i think, are really realising more and more that the essence of a real experience is when it's grounded in local foods. and that's what you want, whether you're in bangkok, or tuscany, or in west cork. here we go. bon appetit. skibbereen! thank you so much. wow. it's a real west cork burger. i've come to meet the fergusons, who run gubbeen — one of the original irish cheese farm houses here — and they play a huge role on the west cork food scene. giana and herfamily have been making their award—winning cheese for the last 40 years. and is this sort of

where you begin creating the flavours and the texture? in a way. although i think the real start of this story is the soil. and of course, the big flavour is once the cheeses are made and they start to ferment. this is heavier than you'd think. oh, my goodness. this smells incredible! there you are, the finished products. i think if you're in new york, or if you're in paris, or wherever we export to, and you come across this, what you're going to feel, or smell, is west cork. that's what i love about this. giana's children are the latest generation working the land. fingal makes the charcuteries with over 100 different products. the fergusons, and other west cork food makers, account for 75% of artisan producers across the country. in west cork, not only do you get to taste great food, but you also get the chance to find

and explore new ingredients. it's beautiful down here. here we go. jim and maria kennedy run sea kayaking trips all along the coast, where you get to forage for your own food. out on the atlantic... ..looking for dinner. and we don't have to look far. when you start to investigate, they become like friends. you just see, "oh, there, look, there's the oarweed coming up "and over here, the sea spaghetti." it's absolutely amazing. for ireland's coastal communities, seaweed has long been a staple food. it has everything you need — it has minerals, it has vitamins. all the b vitamins that we spend, you know, 20, 30 euros buying across the shelf, it's all in here. there's a seal over there also looking for his dinner.

hello, buddy. so, what is on my seaweed board? we have some dillisk, or dulse. carrageenan, another traditional favourite. we have seagrass, beautiful green, also known as spirulina. i recognise that one. mm—hm. and then for something completely different, the queen of all seaweeds — or maybe the king — pepper dulse. the truffle of the sea. that's extraordinary. mm. peppery... such a bite to it, such a kick. what's most striking is the diversity under the kayak. different shapes, forms, textures, colours. it's quite extraordinary. even in the famine, people ate seaweed. but i think then, it became associated with poverty and hunger. and now people are beginning to rediscover the amazing properties of seaweed.

well, next on the menu, we're heading over to vancouver, in canada, a city that's frequently named as one of the best food destinations in the world. but it's not all michelin—starred restaurants and high—end dining. the culinary scene has been broadening out to reflect some, up until now, less well known and diverse dishes. we sent eva to try one of them. eva: you might have heard about poutine. it's canada's unofficial national dish, kind of like what pierogies are to poland or what the burger is to the united states. this comforting, salty dish is made up of chips, cheese, curds and gravy.

but this is not a piece about poutine. in fact, it can be quite hard to find authentic poutine out here on the west coast. it comes from quebec in the east. here in vancouver, there is another dish that you should know about. hi! hello. hi. my name is paul natrall. i'm mr bannock. paul — or mr bannock — is a member of the squamish nation. he lives on one of the three first nation territories here in vancouver city. he owns the only indigenous food truck in vancouver, and his specialty, bannock — a staple in first nation cuisine. 0h, awesome! that's a mr bannock apron, isn't it? yes, ma'am. wonderful. let me put this on. bannock is pretty simple. it's sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and water. not too dissimilar

from an english scone. the word �*bannock�* itself is scottish, so there's always a huge debate if bannock is indigenous. every community and every nation has a type of flatbread, and as stuff evolves and indigenous food evolves we have baking powder, salt, sugar, and now we have these huge fluffy bannocks. for me, its huge to be able to have my kids watch and learn what i do, just because our food culture has been missing for so long, you know, through all the trauma that we have. i'm keen to sample paul's modern take. well, these just look so delicious. golden, fluffy... should i? should i do it? yeah, do it. mmm. and then the fluffiness. so delicious. mm—hm. they�* re fluffy.

they're, like, the perfect combination of fluffy and crispy. nice. mm—hm. hopefully, soon there will be more places to try indigenous food in vancouver. but, for now, bannock doesn't seem like a bad place to start. william lee adams: eva zu beck in canada, getting stuck into a first nations feast. and from canada let's hop over to the us, where new york has long been dubbed �*the city that never sleeps�*. a place where you can get anything, from a burger to beluga, at any time, day or night. but, post—pandemic, is the city's food scene still open all hours? we sent kim davis to one of the city's most famous diners to see if they're still cooking right around the clock. jazz music as a native new yorker, i know a thing or two about nightlife in this city. now, any good night out starts with food, and where better to fill up than at one of manhattan's

most iconic delis? it is so busy here. i have to figure out what i want really quick because if you don't know what you want you're going to get shoved out of the way and people are going tojump in right ahead of you. the first thing i'd recommend is... they give you a ticket and the ticket gets you in. where is your ticket? i don't have one. i walked in without getting one. hello. you can use it to pay and to walk out. to pay and to walk out? hi there. can i please get a pastrami sandwich? delis and diners are part of the fabric of the city, catering to hunger pangs at all hours. hi, here's your pastrami. oh, my gosh. thank you. enjoy. this is gigantic! this is nothing. i love that. "it's nothin'." he laughs �*nothin'!’ listen, food and nightlife go hand in hand, right. right? we struggled a little bit during the pandemic, as did everyone

in the world, literally. and we got lucky. customers still supported us. 0ur regulars took care of us. and that's what it means to be in business for 135 years and five generations. but not all have been lucky. many have closed their doors permanently. the numbers employed in the restaurant scene have shrunk by 35,000 since the pandemic. and for those that survived, it's been a challenge. there was a lot of trial and error and bars in the neighbourhood were going through similar sets of questions. and so we didn't start 24 hours right away because they also weren't staying open till 4am like they used to. but kind of hand—in—hand, lockstep, the bar scene, the nightlife scene, food scene, all coming back with a real vengeance. what do you think? it's good, right? wow. she laughs. kim davis there taking a bite out of the big apple.

and after all that food, what could be better than a glass of wine to round things off? so we'll leave you with ade in paris, where there's been something of a revolution with the country's favourite tipple, meaning that those dreaded hangovers could maybe become a thing of the past. we'll see you all again next week. but in the meantime here's ade to tell you more. cheers! whether you're mad for merlot or salivate over a sauvignon blanc, the city of love swoons for a glass of wine. as other countries have music orfashion, in france you'll see a glass of wine on each table in any bistro or michelin—star restaurant. i mean, there are paintings about wine. they fought wars about wine. so it's worth 25 billion euros a year to the french economy, and then there were 5.5 billion bottles produced in france last year. but as bars and restaurants all over

the world shut their doors, the pandemic forced loads of us to reassess our relationship with booze and explore more non—alcoholic alternatives. international sales of non—alcoholic drinks have shot up by a quarter. but in france the growth has been slower — reportedly, just 4% in the same period. so how do parisians feel about alcohol—free wine? i've never tried it. i like wine, regular wine. i'm used to that. i think we're losing something. you want to feel... he clicks his tongue ..the taste. it's not as fun either. one man hoping to transform french attitudes is augustin. hello, ade. last year, he set out what he says is paris's first shop entirely devoted to non—alcoholic drinks. do you get any snobbery?

do you get people who come in and when they hear there's no alcohol, they're like, what is this? !" yeah. at the beginning, some people were kind of making fun orjust laughing when they entered. but then for us it's not against alcohol because most of our customers, they are what we call flexi—drinkers. so they keep drinking alcohol, but they also, from time to time, want to have a break. of course, you have all the pregnant women, the muslim people who never drink alcohol. actually, it came from my own story because i quit drinking during the pandemic. i don't like soda, i don't like very sweet beverages, so i was looking for other options. he's far from the first person to ride this trend. a few rounds of alcohol—free bars have opened up over the past few years all across the world, from 0% tokyo to sans bar in texas, to the virgin mary in dublin. along with spirits and beers, augustin stocks two kinds of alcohol—free wine. the first is de—alcoholised.

it's fermented like a traditional wine before the alcohol is then removed. you'll see the smell is close, but then the length in the mouth is different. you know what? that's so interesting. so i can taste the kind of familiarity, and then i'm waiting for the alcohol. but it hasn't arrived. it's like wine—lite. the second kind doesn't involve fermentation, and it's more like a poshjuice. and this one is very good if you eat it with your meat or pasta. we've picked a particularly potent one made from... ..beetroot. it's busy. i don't think i'm ready for this one yet. but this is exactly what we see with our customers. so now they are more looking into substitutes, so beer or de—alcoholised wine. and we know in some years they may look more for new recipes and new techniques and everything.

but are parisians ready to embrace this new gastronomic experience? there's only one way for me to find out. excusez—moi, excusez—moi. s'il vous plait? would you like to try some non—alcoholic wine? it's good, actually. i like it. i don't like it. i don't think it tastes like wine. no, it's sweeter, i think. 0h. it's actually good. you like it? yes. wow. that's the de—alcoholised wine. now for the beetroot... not in my case. oh, it's more... more acidic? ..acid... yes. more acidic. it's, um... this one is a better one than that. and whether they like the wines or not, most of the parisians we spoke to were at least open

to alcohol—free alternatives. yes, because i'm not fond of alcohol. i prefer the taste. so for you, it's just finding something that has the right taste? yes. and then it'll be a winner? yeah. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with rachel burden and ben thompson. 0ur headlines today: the king is due to attend an easter service in windsor, his first formal public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer.

a second ship carrying food aid to gaza has set sail from cyprus, with 400 tonnes of supplies onboard. millions of workers are set for a pay boost, as the national living wage goes up. cambridge win both the men's and women's boat races, but it's a celebration with a difference — with the crews staying out of the water amid concerns over sewage. and the best of your easter sunday weather will be found in scotland today. elsewhere, a bit more cloud than yesterday and in some eastern areas, return of patchy rain. i'll have all the details here on breakfast. it's easter sunday, the 31st of march. our main story. the king is to make his first formal public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer. he's due to attend the easter sunday service at st george's chapel in windsor, along with other royals.

but prince william and his wife, the princess of wales — who's also receiving treatment for cancer — will not be there. here's our royal correspondentjonny dymond. to the family church and that of many monarchs, the king is expected to walk today, in what will be his first public sighting since the announcement of his cancer diagnosis. it was after a procedure injanuary that cancer was found. since then, the king has continued with constitutional duties but avoided all public engagements. messages and images there have been aplenty, most recently an audio message on maundy thursday. king charles iii: may god bless you all this easter. what a change it will all be from a year ago. just before the coronation, a royalfamily made its way to church — king and queen, prince and princess. kate spoke out over a week ago, revealing her preventative

chemotherapy treatment for cancer. she is, she says, focusing on recovery, and she won't be seen in public for a while to come. the priority this easter for the princess and prince, theirfamily. all eyes, then, on the king this sunday, himself mid—treatment for an unknown cancer, his reign on hold as he too devotes his time to recovery. jonny dymond, bbc news. 0ur correspondent aruna iyengar joins us from windsor. iam i am guessing this will be a smaller royal outing than in previous years, aruna? , .,. royal outing than in previous years, aruna? , . ., , . aruna? yes, rachel, certainly. we are atoin aruna? yes, rachel, certainly. we are going to _ aruna? yes, rachel, certainly. we are going to be — aruna? yes, rachel, certainly. we are going to be seeing _ aruna? yes, rachel, certainly. we are going to be seeing a _ aruna? yes, rachel, certainly. we are going to be seeing a much i are going to be seeing a much tighter royal family group today. the king and queen are expected to be here today, and that is significant, because this will be the first time the king has been

seen outside, out and about, since his cancer diagnosis back in february. so this is seen as very much a reassuring sign. buckingham palace have also announced speaking will be dialling up his public engagements into the summer. so all that sounds extremely positive. 0bviously today, though, the big missing people there today will be the prince and princess of wales, who will not be there today. they will be celebrating easter privately with their three children, and that follows the princess of wales' video announcement earlier this month that showers having preventative chemotherapy to deal with her cancer diagnosis. so today the king is expected to walk up to st. george's chapel, he is expected to wave to the cloud, and it is a traditional service that the royal family do every single year, last year, this was the first time that he and the king attended as monarch for the

first time, so today there will be crowds, people are expected to be pretty excited about seeing the king out and about and waving to the crowds. �* ., ., ~ out and about and waving to the crowds. �* ., ., ,, , ., , . crowds. aruna, thank you very much indeed. crowds. aruna, thank you very much indeed- of — crowds. aruna, thank you very much indeed. of course, _ crowds. aruna, thank you very much indeed. of course, that _ crowds. aruna, thank you very much indeed. of course, that is _ crowds. aruna, thank you very much indeed. of course, that is not i crowds. aruna, thank you very much indeed. of course, that is not the i indeed. of course, that is not the only significant easter service taking place today. the archbishop of canterbury is expected to use his easter sermon to call for more action in helping people caught up in conflicts. pope francis is also preparing to deliver his annual message from st peter's square in rome. 0ur religion editor aleem maqbool is outside the basilica. good morning. there have been some concerns about the pope's health? there certainly have been over the past month or so. the pope is cancelled numerous engagements, we have heard variously either because of what has been described as flu or bronchitis, and actually has cancelled some events during the

easter period as well. but he is due to preside over mass in a couple of hours and a little bit later he will deliver his blessing and easter message from the balcony, the central balcony of saint peter's per silica, just over my shoulder. a week ago, he didn't give his usual homily at the palm sunday mass, he pulled out of an event on good friday, the way of the cross procession at the coliseum, but he did attend the longest mass of this period, the easter vigil mass yesterday, a two hour long mass here. and he did appear, at some points, to be out of breath and looked a little weak, but he was smiling, he waved to people who came here. but lots of concern, as i say, over his respiratory problems, over the last month or so.— over his respiratory problems, over the last month or so. aleem, thank ou. a second ship carrying food and other supplies for gaza has set

sail from the cypriot port of larnaca. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell is injerusalem. yolande, just remind us how urgently needed this aid is right now? well. needed this aid is right now? well, we have the _ needed this aid is right now? well, we have the united _ needed this aid is right now? well, we have the united nations - needed this aid is right now? -ii we have the united nations warning of a man—made famine living in gaza, particularly in the north. so this aid is desperately needed. we are told that is more than 300 tons of food supplies on—board these two vessels, they make up the second shipment of aid is going in by sea, having left larnaca in cyprus, it will take a couple of days now for these vessels to make their way to these vessels to make their way to the gaza strip just outside of gaza city. now, gaza does not currently have any port facilities, so you've also got, with these vessels, a forklift truck, you've got a crane also that will help them with future deliveries of aid via this route. this is a route that the un has

really welcomed opening up by sea, to get aid into gaza, so urgently needed, but of course we have those warnings at the same time, that what is really needed is for more deliveries by land. for laurie loads of aid to go in, those are the most efficient way to get aid into gaza. —— lorry loads. efficient way to get aid into gaza. -- lorry loads-— -- lorry loads. yolande knell live injerusalem- _ president biden's re—election campaign team has criticised donald trump for sharing a video on social media that depicts the us president bound in the back of a truck. a biden campaign spokesperson accused mr trump of inciting political violence. a spokesman for the trump campaign said democrats have been calling for "despicable violence" against mr trump. romania and bulgaria havejoined the eu's schengen zone which allows passport—free travel, but only for air and sea crossings. land border controls will remain in place, after austria blocked the countries from achieving full membership.

actor chance perdomo, who starred in netflix horror series chilling adventures of sabrina, has died at the age of 27 in a motorcycle accident. he was born in los angeles but grew up in southampton. alongside his success in the states, he was nominated for best actor at the 2019 bafta tv awards for his role in bbc three drama killed by my debt. the national living wage is going up byjust over one pound, to £11.44 per hour. the treasury says a full—time worker receiving this rate should take home around an extra £1,800 a year. it will also be paid to anyone aged over 21 for the first time. more details from our business correspondent marc ashdown. barista sam loves hisjob, but after paying his essential bills he's often left with just a few hundred pounds a month to live on. pay rises just help him stay afloat. i think they balance, because obviously everything else goes up in price so it sort of evens out every single year.

maybe for, like, a month you'll be like, "ooh, i've got money this month!" and then it'lljust be, like — the next month will be a bit of a rough one. workers across the uk in some of the lowest—paid jobs are about to get a boost in their pay. from tomorrow, the national living wage is going up from £10.42 an hour to £11.44 an hour. that's an increase of 9.8%. the age at which a worker qualifies has also been reduced from 23 to 21 years old. the treasury says a full—time worker should be paid about £1,800 extra over one year. this is the largest increase in a minimum wage in cash terms and the first time it's gone up by more than a pound in one go, and it reflects, really, the strength in pay growth across the economy — which looks set to continue. minimum wage levels for workers aged between 16 and 21 will also rise. the lobby group uk hospitality says taken across all the pay scales, businesses could be having to find an increase of 17%. got significant cost headwinds

they're facing into, notjust wages, but energy, food price inflation, and the cost of living pressures. so there's a perfect storm going on here, and on top of this, a 17% increase in their wage bill. charities want to see more businesses sign up to the so—called real living wage, which sets minimum pay at a higher rate. but tomorrow's increase will give a pay boost to millions of workers. mark ashdown, bbc news. now, a bit of a spoiler alert here, because you may not have seen the final outcome of gladiators from last night, so a warning if you don't want to know what the result was. , , , , ., was. just put us on mute temporarily. _ was. just put us on mute temporarily, for- was. just put us on mute temporarily, for about i was. just put us on mute i temporarily, for about two was. just put us on mute _ temporarily, for about two minutes. it has been a great series, it really has. 30 years after it first hit our screens, gladiators is still proving to be a hit with tv audiences. an average of 8 million viewers tuned in to the reboot of the 1990s show over the last 11 weeks, which culminated in last night's final. if you don't want to know who won, you may want to do something else

watching it the first time around, so they watch it, alongside their kids, who are watching it for the very first time. it will cause tv commissioners to come back to the drawing board and think of maybe more shows that will bring everyone around together. and this is not the end, with a second series of gladiators now confirmed. noor nanji, bbc news. great stuff, really good fun. i know it has gone down a treat with saturday night audiences, one of those appointments to what shows, where all the family can get together on saturday night. idaho where all the family can get together on saturday night. now i am thinkin: of together on saturday night. now i am thinking of what _ together on saturday night. now i am thinking of what else _ together on saturday night. now i am thinking of what else from _ together on saturday night. now i am thinking of what else from the - together on saturday night. now i am thinking of what else from the 1990s| thinking of what else from the 1990s we want to bring back. don’t thinking of what else from the 1990s we want to bring back.— we want to bring back. don't start us on that! _ we want to bring back. don't start us on that! answers _ we want to bring back. don't start us on that! answers on _ we want to bring back. don't start us on that! answers on a - we want to bring back. don't start | us on that! answers on a postcard. stuff ou us on that! answers on a postcard. stuff you want _ us on that! answers on a postcard. stuff you want to _ us on that! answers on a postcard. stuff you want to see _ us on that! answers on a postcard. stuff you want to see back - us on that! answers on a postcard. stuff you want to see back from i us on that! answers on a postcard. | stuff you want to see back from the 19905, stuff you want to see back from the 1990s, or maybe stuff you don't want to see back from the 1990s. idaho. 1990s, or maybe stuff you don't want to see back from the 1990s. now, the time is 7:14am. _ to see back from the 1990s. now, the time is 7:14am. it _ to see back from the 1990s. now, the time is 7:14am. it is _ to see back from the 1990s. now, the time is 7:14am. it is worth _ time is 7:14am. it is worth emphasising that, because of course the clocks did go forward overnight,

working as it should. —— brain. it does executive functions, decision—making, complex task activation, it is where you get up and go and people who are depressed just cannot do anything. they want to do things but theyjust cannot do it. we're stimulating the left—hand side and inhibiting the right hand side and inhibiting the right hand side is the non— reward side and we think this is over active so we bring it down and anxiety gets better, sleep improved and patients generally feel a lot better. it is absolutely _ generally feel a lot better. it is absolutely fascinating hearing about all of this. why is that this is only suitable for some patients? well, the thing that i wanted to get across is that people need to understand that there are alternatives and particularly where

antidepressants don't work. i would use any of these, this one particularly, but there is also transcranial magnetic stimulation, tra nscranial magnetic stimulation, these transcranial magnetic stimulation, these are new treatments can be used in people who are not responding to antidepressants. it is important that people know there are other treatments for depression that can be very effective. idaho treatments for depression that can be very effective.— treatments for depression that can be very effective. now the advice as ever with experimental _ be very effective. now the advice as ever with experimental devices i be very effective. now the advice as ever with experimental devices is i ever with experimental devices is only use it under the supervision of a doctor. 0ne only use it under the supervision of a doctor. one of the potential side effects or risks of treatment like this? , ,, effects or risks of treatment like this? , ~ , effects or risks of treatment like this? w , ,., . ., this? the risk in this particular device are _ this? the risk in this particular device are low. _ this? the risk in this particular device are low. i— this? the risk in this particular device are low. i mean, i this? the risk in this particular device are low. i mean, you i this? the risk in this particular| device are low. i mean, you do this? the risk in this particular- device are low. i mean, you do feel a load tingling sensation. burns have happened previously but the machine has got a cutout switch that if the resistance increases beyond a certain point it gets cut out. other

longest people have been on it in terms of the studies has been three years. we have just terms of the studies has been three years. we havejust got in terms of the studies has been three years. we have just got in terms of it going out to other trusts in the country, we have got funding for 19 had said so we're going to this throughout northamptonshire. the early study was in one particular part. i think it is very easy, well tolerated, patients love it because they could do it from home you can do things while you have the machine on your head. the headset, you can cook a meal, on your head. the headset, you can cooka meal, do on your head. the headset, you can cook a meal, do your e—mails, on your head. the headset, you can cooka meal, do your e—mails, read on your head. the headset, you can cook a meal, do your e—mails, read a book, watch tv etc. cook a meal, do your e-mails, read a book, watch tv etc.— book, watch tv etc. given what you have said about _ book, watch tv etc. given what you have said about the _ book, watch tv etc. given what you have said about the ease _ book, watch tv etc. given what you have said about the ease of - book, watch tv etc. given what you have said about the ease of use i book, watch tv etc. given what you j have said about the ease of use and the cost implications, how much of a game changer is it? if the trial is successful, can you imagine this becomes a routine treatment and reduces dependency on antidepressants which we know have their own side—effects?

is forcing herring gulls to move inland. you are not allowed to say seagulls. no such thing. curtis sent us this picture from port isaac. who did it pinch that from? some poor child. another said... "a seagull attacked me from the side whilst i was eating a sandwich and knocked my glasses off my face, i thought i'd been punched from the man walking past me at the time, until i spotted the seagull eating my lunch." steve said he was attacked by a seagull while eating a very expensive burger on a day out in minehead. he said: "i opened my packed and instantly was attacked by a seagull leaving a scar above my right eye." send us your experiences. we will talk about why seagull numbers are falling. talk about why seagull numbers are fallina. �* ., , talk about why seagull numbers are fallina. �* . , , , talk about why seagull numbers are fallin. _ �* ., , , , ..y talk about why seagull numbers are fallina. . , , , ., falling. and what is the best way to avoid them? _ falling. and what is the best way to avoid them? if— falling. and what is the best way to avoid them? if you _ falling. and what is the best way to avoid them? if you know—

earlier this season, and arsenal have won every game in the league this calendar year, so mick alighted is hoping the international break has not broken his side's momentum. —— mikel arteta. you cannot do it, that moment is gone, has to go to the national teams. we had some time for the players, and everybody is back, everybody is so positive about what is coming and looking forward to it. we felt really good last month, but the national break, it is always the first game, always, at the national break, you think, you know? it will happen. but yesterday we trained good, optimaltraining happen. but yesterday we trained good, optimal training sessions, and we prepare the game. right now it is so important. if we are able to do it, the next game will be important as well.

that one is at 4:30 p.m., liverpool versus brighton at two p.m. if today's games give us the drama we had yesterday we're in for a treat. there were two stoppage time goals at brentford where manchester united's hopes of playing champions league football next season took a hit. united looked like they'd snatched victory in the 96th minute, substitute mason mount�*s goal sparking celebrations — but they couldn't hold on, brentford finally taking one of their umpteen opportunities. kristoffer ajer�*s equaliser earning his side a more than deserved point. aston villa maintained their hopes of champions league football next season, beating wolves 2—0 at villa park. moussa diaby scoring the pick of the goals to leave unai emery�*s side fourth, three points clear of spurs. a late goal too at tottenham, son heung—min scoring four minutes from time, as spurs came from behind to beat luton 2—1. they stay fifth, whilst luton slip into the relegation zone. no doubt where the game of the day was. stjames' park, where newcastle came from 3—1 down to beat

west ham. harvey barnes the hero for the home side, coming off the bench to get the equaliser and then the winner here in the 90th minute. the 4—3 victory keeps eddie howe�*s side in the hunt for european football next season. they're eighth, just a point below west ham inb seventh with a game in hand. in their first match since being docked four points for financial rules breaches, nottingham forest drew i—i with crystal palace to move out of the bottom three. chris wood with the equaliser after palace had taken an early lead. it's now four months since everton won a game of football in the premier league. seamus coleman's calamitous own goal saw them beaten 2—1 at bournemouth. his side are just three points clear of the relegation zone. fulham denied sheffield united a first home league win since december. they were 3—1 down in the 86th minute, but this acrobatic efford from rodrigo muniz made it 3—3

in stoppage time. it leaves sheffield united bottom, seven points from safety. second—from—bottom burnley twice came from behind to draw 2—2 at chelsea. dara 0'shea's late header rescuing a point for the visitors who played over half the game with ten men, and had manager vincent kompany sent off too. burnley four points from safety. celtic can go back to the top of the scottish premiership if they beat the bottom side livingstone at lunchtime. rangers are currently top after a 3—1 victory over hibernian at ibrox. james tavernier�*s goal, the 131st of his career, making him the highest—scoring defender in british football history. the old firm derby is next sunday. but for today, chelsea's attention turns to the league cup final and the chance to win the first trophy in what could be a quadruple winning season. arsenal are their opponents. they won the trophy last year, beating chelsea, who've lost the last two finals — and that's why manager emma hayes is giving it as much importance as the other titles her

side are trying to win, and says her players will give everything. if you watch their performances in the last two cups finals? because i have, and they have, again and again. let me be clear on this. the team know exactly how i feel about the final on sunday, in terms of showing up and showing ourselves. i don't care if it is important to them. it absolutely is important to me. , , ., ,, , ,, them. it absolutely is important to me. ., them. it absolutely is important to me. ,, me. yes, she means business. you can watch that on — me. yes, she means business. you can watch that on bbc— me. yes, she means business. you can watch that on bbc two _ me. yes, she means business. you can watch that on bbc two from _ me. yes, she means business. you can watch that on bbc two from 2:30pm i watch that on bbc two from 2:30pm this afternoon. chasing a third successive grand slam and a sixth six nations title in a row, england have made it two wins from two in the women's six nations championship as they beat wales 46—10 at ashton gate in bristol. the red roses ran away with it, as expected, securing the winning bonus point by half—time with four tries. they ran in eight tries in total, including two from ellie kildunne. the crowd ofjust under 20,000

is a record for an england's women's home match away from twickenham. we knew we wanted to come out here in this 20 minutes and execute our game plan and i think we definitely did that stop when you whales were going to bring it to us. they were going to bring it to us. they were going to bring it to us. they were going to be horrifying in their last game. but we concentrate on ourselves this week. we made sure we got our recovery, our game plan right, and we put it on the pitch today and obviously i'm proud of the girls. france also made it two wins from two, but they almost suffered a huge upset at the hands of scotland. they thrashed them last year, but had to come from behind in edinburgh, eventually winning by 15—5 and denying scotland a losing bonus point right at the end of the match. to come away with a losing bonus point would have been really nice and i think a feral section of our performance today, so to lose that is agonising. but ultimately, they

are top class team and if you give them an opportunity like that you are going to take it. they're plated out, they were building today from start to finish. it was a brilliant contest, brilliant advert for the game. cambridge continued their recent dominance of the boat race, beating oxford to win both the men's and women's events on the thames. the races took place following concerns about levels of bacteria in the water. joe lynskey has more. they've raced on the thames for nearly 200 years. this time the winners kept theirjoy on dry land. the boat race for the students had changed this year through geography. rainfall through the winter, increasing sewage in the thames. the river action campaign group found high levels of e.coli. rowers were told to stay out of the water. cambridge went clear in the men's race and stretched out a lead. they put in so much through four miles. some barely had the strength to finish. they won by 10 seconds, but oxford had an explanation. we've had a few guys go down pretty

badly with the e.coli strain. so, i mean, this morning i was throwing up. it would have been ideal not to have so much poo in the water. but, you know, that's not to take away from cambridge. they were a talented crew. i don't know if we would have had a chance to get them, even if we'd all been on form. so it's in no way to make excuses. the women's boat race was close until it changed on a moment. oxford, i'm warning you, oxford. that stern word from the umpire was to stop the boats colliding. oxford fell back and cambridge powered on to chiswick. it's their seventh straight win and the men's fifth in six years. but what did change this year was the team's celebration. by tradition, the coxes get thrown in the river. but this year on the thames, they're staying out of the water. joe lynskey, bbc news.

that, as joe that, asjoe was saying, we normally so used to seeing those pictures at the end of the boat race, the coxes being thrown in the water as part of the celebrations, that not happening. all the talk and the buildup was about those high levels of e coli. 50 buildup was about those high levels of e coli. , ., of e coli. so interesting, we heard about the warnings _ of e coli. so interesting, we heard about the warnings but _ of e coli. so interesting, we heard about the warnings but for - of e coli. so interesting, we heard about the warnings but for the - about the warnings but for the oxford crew to come out and say they had been unwell, i don't know how common it is when you are training in the water at that time, but we will be speaking to a former paralympian robert late in the programme, who regularly trained on the terms, i think we were saying we would rather be sprayed with fizz, definitely, then whatever is in the thames at the moment. it is definitely, then whatever is in the thames at the moment.— definitely, then whatever is in the thames at the moment. it is a tossup between the — thames at the moment. it is a tossup between the two _ thames at the moment. it is a tossup between the two i _ thames at the moment. it is a tossup between the two i think— thames at the moment. it is a tossup between the two i think we _ thames at the moment. it is a tossup between the two i think we would - thames at the moment. it is a tossup between the two i think we would alll between the two i think we would all pick the champagne. it is really hard to keep away from that spray, with the big boats in the water as well. �* , ., ., ., , with the big boats in the water as well. �* i. ., ., , , , well. and if you are really puffing, ou are well. and if you are really puffing, you are really _ well. and if you are really puffing, you are really blowing, _ well. and if you are really puffing, you are really blowing, because i well. and if you are really puffing, you are really blowing, because of the exertion, you cannot keep your mouth closed! bud the exertion, you cannot keep your mouth closed!— the exertion, you cannot keep your mouth closed! and you heard oxford sa , the mouth closed! and you heard oxford say. they are — mouth closed! and you heard oxford say. they are trying _ mouth closed! and you heard oxford say, they are trying not _ mouth closed! and you heard oxford say, they are trying not to _ mouth closed! and you heard oxford say, they are trying not to pin - mouth closed! and you heard oxford say, they are trying not to pin it - say, they are trying not to pin it as an excuse, but if you are throwing up and sick beforehand, thatis throwing up and sick beforehand, that is going to impact your

innovation allow you to take the mike. go fora ride innovation allow you to take the mike. go for a ride or shoot some hoops. talking of hoops — even next year's drone soccer championship has a stand. although it's more like quidditch, if you ask me. there was a time when ces would feature a deluge of tvs, each one bigger, brighter, sharper, smoother and thinner than the next. they are still here, including the occasional whopper, but tv picture quality is improving much more incrementally these days, and the real screen innovations are happening elsewhere. got to hand it to lg, the company always puts on a display, and this year that display is transparent. these oled screens look astonishing.

although, come to think of it, you probably wouldn't really want to see through your tv screen at home. you'd want the blacks to be black, wouldn't you? so i feel this is probably more for use in eye—catching advertising displays. oh, and even though it says wireless, that's not quite true. you still need a power cable, which does beg the question, why not run the hdmi cable into it at the same time? transparency does seem to be a thing this year. here's a strange roll—out display that you can see right through, too. now, the video actually comes from a normal projector, but whereas that projection would go right through normal glass or plastic, this so—called nano—optic material catches more of the image. it really does look quite bright in real life. so, in theory, with this material, any window could become a display. this is a mesh of led pixels, but between the pixels,

instead of there just being black fabric or even glass, there's holes, so you get this transparent display effect that's much easier to manufacture, especially at size, than normal led or lcd panels. here's something that first caught my eye a couple of years ago. the looking glass display is the best glasses—less 3d display i've come across, and it's now available in a big and a small version. as you move your head, its lenticular screen really does allow you to see the images from different perspectives. unlike traditional 3d tvs, here the background really does emerge from behind the foreground as you move from side to side. well, one of the first things that

many of us do in the morning is look ina mirror. so if you're not wearing numerous health trackers, like i do, how about the idea of that mirror being able to tell you how your health is doing? lindsay, let's have a go. tell me about the technology, first of all. absolutely. so this is our newest product, it's our anura magic mirror, and what it does, it does a 30—second video selfie and we actually measure over 30 vital signs and risk of disease parameters. so, everything from heart rate, breathing, blood pressure to actual risk of cardiovascular disease, risk of stroke, risk of fatty liver disease — many different parameters, so... how on earth do you assess all of that from looking at someone with a camera? yes, so how it works is we're actually measuring the facial blood flow patterns underneath your skin using reflective light patterns. so we use a process called transdermal optical imaging. and so what happens is we take a 30—second scan, we analyse your facial blood flow patterns, and then it gets sent up to the cloud for processing. and so we output all these calculations. ok, brilliant. shall we try it? well, let's have a go. let's try it. sit still. and it's... ..it�*s already begun the scan, so we'll have your results quite shortly.

make sure you're in the right spot and it'll be done in 30 seconds. i'm doing well on most of these things, which is great. my risk of heart disease, stroke — all incredibly low. but some of these things, it's hard to imagine how they would even be calculated. when it comes to something like type 2 diabetes risk, how on earth can it assess that? so in the background, we have a population of about 40,000 patients where what we've done is we've taken their demographic info, all their medical history. so, this number you see here is the percentage of users with your facial blood flow patterns who are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. great — if it's not going to get you in a panic when things aren't right. and there was one little niggle in my brief experiment. whilst the differences are pretty negligible, i've redone the scan a couple of minutes after doing it the first time and the figures are just slightly different. it tells me i'm 36. apparently, i was 38 a couple of minutes ago. same face, but i'm happy.

can i go with this one? meanwhile, plenty of wearables being launched here and many of them are pretty compact, too — in fact, there's a whole trend for smart rings, with a few new ones launching. the oura's been popular for a while but this is ultrahuman. this goes beyond tracking your daily activities and giving you a readiness score, though — it actually acts as one big data platform, bringing in information from blood tests and also, if you wish, from a continuous glucose monitor — so, for example, you could see how the sugar that you've eaten has affected your night's sleep by having all of that in one place. much hype about it in tech circles as the company has high hopes. initially, the blood function will be india—only before expanding and an air quality monitor to also sync the conditions you sleep in is coming. here's a bit of a different way of being able to assess your heart rate and how stressed you may be. these are mindmics.

now, they work as regular earbuds — you can listen to music, talk on them — but they also are listening within your ear — like, your ear becomes a speaker to your heart. it's very buzzy here but i'm feeling quite zen. in just a couple of minutes, it's told me my heart rate was 57, my heart rate variability was 51 and apparently, i am well in the rest and digest category, not fight or flight. these devices do also seem to incorporate our mental health, too — in particular, stress. from concept crab cars to electric diggers via bikes lifted straight out of tron, vehicles are now big news in vegas. but it's notjust the cars themselves vying for attention. a major theme coming from many of the companies focused on what the marketing speak labels

as the "in—car experience". it's essentially using tech to make you, the driver, the star of the show. so, naturally, one car company brought in a star of their own to demonstrate their latest big idea. imagine a car that's creatively bold. now, imagine a song conducted by the road... mercedes has teamed up with musician and technologist will.i.am to create sound drive. ..and your foot on the pedal means it's time to jam. it takes telemetry and information from a range of sensors, including acceleration, steering and gps, to dynamically change specially produced tracks in real time. # it's the bass line running, running... how do you simulate gravity pushing down on the engine, where you have those subtle oscillations? there's, like, some subtleties that happen when you go, "broommm...." you feel that, you hear that. you pay attention.

and because i'm an audio nerd, i pointed that out and i told them, "hey, i think i could solve that. "if you give me sensors, i could point those sensors "to an audio generation engine and i could oscillate gravity "pushing down on an engine — i could simulate that." and then i said, "hey, but i think the future of electric "vehicles is more than vroom, vroom. "if you let mejust, like, go free—fly, i think i could come up "with something truly transformational." and so, they were like, "yeah, try it out." i�* l' m ike , "a r e y o u s er| 'o u s 7 chuckles naturally, i wanted to give it a go to sample that "in—car experience" for myself. this is wild! it's undoubtedly impressive from a tech and music perspective. techno music plays. wow. you can really feel that rise up with the acceleration. so, what this system is doing is it's collecting information from all of the sensors in the car — so that's accelerating,

braking and steering — and it's using that information to dynamically adapt the music that's playing. it's pretty cool. but it'll be user and industry take—up that determines whether it goes beyond a very fun gimmick. that is it from vegas for the short version. . that is it from vegas for the short version. ,, , ., ~' live from london.

us to be nice to see goals, as their numbers decline in the uk. good morning and thank you for being with us on this easter sunday. it is 31st march, our main story this morning... the king is to make his first formal public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer. it is due to attend easter sunday service at st george's chapel in windsor along with other royals, but prince william and his wife the princess of, who is also receiving treatment for cancer, will not be there. here is our royal correspondentjonny dymond. to the family church, and that of many monarchs, the king is expected to walk today, in what will be his first public sighting since the announcement of his cancer diagnosis. it was after a procedure in january that cancer was found.

since then, the king has continued with constitutional duties, but avoided all public engagements. messages and images there have been aplenty, most recently an audio message on maundy thursday. mar; aplenty, most recently an audio message on maundy thursday. may god bless ou all message on maundy thursday. may god bless you all this _ message on maundy thursday. may god bless you all this is _ message on maundy thursday. may god bless you all this is to. _ message on maundy thursday. may god bless you all this is to. what _ message on maundy thursday. may god bless you all this is to. what a - bless you all this is to. what a chan . e bless you all this is to. what a change it _ bless you all this is to. what a change it will _ bless you all this is to. what a change it will all _ bless you all this is to. what a change it will all be _ bless you all this is to. what a change it will all be from - bless you all this is to. what a change it will all be from a - bless you all this is to. what a | change it will all be from a year ago. just before the coronation, the royal family made its way to church, king and queen, prince and princess. kate spoke out over a week ago, revealing her preventative chemotherapy treatment for cancer. she is, she says, focusing on recovery, and she won't be seen in public for a while to come. the priority this easterfor public for a while to come. the priority this easter for the princess and prince, theirfamily. all eyes, then, on the king this sunday. himself, made treatment for

an unknown cancer, his reign on hold as he, too, devotes his time to recovery. jonny dymond, bbc news. our correspondent aruna iyengar joins us from windsor. this will be a special outing for the royalfamily, but a smaller event than previous years? yes, that's right, it is going to be a rather depleted grouping of the royal family this easter sunday at the service at st george's chapel in windsor castle which is just behind me. the crowds have started to build up me. the crowds have started to build up now, as they wait to go in, and they will be garnered through security, and they go round the windsor castle behind me, behind this wall which you can see here, and st george's chapel is behind them. the people i've spoken to say that it them. the people i've spoken to say thatitis them. the people i've spoken to say that it is open to the public, you have to queue up to go in and to get to see the service, they say that you can actually stay inside the grounds and watching the royal

family walk up the hill, apparently it is quite a steep hill, to get to st george's castle. this is quite a significant day—to—day because it will be the first time that we've seen the king in public since his announcement that he had cancer. he made that announcement back in february. so it is quite significant that we will be seeing him out and about for the first time since then. and it is seen as a reassuring sign that he is on the mend and that he is out and about. he has been conducting some meetings privately, indoors, he was meeting with faith leaders in buckingham palace, this tuesday but he had to pull out of the maundy service at worcester cathedral on thursday. notably missing today will be the prince and princess of, the princess of revealed her cancer diagnosis earlier this month, and so they will not be there today, they will be celebrating easter privately with their three children and will be

giving time to be private with their own family. of course there will be focused on rome as well, with the pope expected to make an appearance later today. he is indeed. pope francis is preparing to deliver his annual easter message from st peter's square in rome. it comes just two days after the vatican unexpectedly announced he would miss the good friday procession to "conserve his health". earlier, our religion editor aleem maqbool explained the latest on the pope's health. the vatican has said on various occasions it's bronchitis, sometimes they've described it as flu, but he is expected to preside over mass here in a couple of hours' time

and then deliver that message his blessing and message from the central balcony of saint peter's basilica a little bit later on. a week ago he did not give his homily at the palm sunday mass, he pulled out of an event on good friday, the way of the cross procession at the coliseum, but he did attend the longest mass of this period, the easter vigil mass, yesterday, a two hour long mass here, and he did appear at some points to be out of breath, and look a little weak but he was smiling, he waved to people who came here. but lots of concerns, as i say, over his respiratory problems over the last month or so. a second ship carrying food and other supplies for gaza has set sail from the cypriot port of larnaca. the world central kitchen charity loaded the vessel with hundreds of tonnes of aid. it says there will be enough

food to prepare more than a million meals. aid agencies are continuing to warn that people in gaza are on the brink of famine. president biden's re—election campaign team has criticised donald trump for sharing a video on social media that depicts the us president bound in the back of a truck. a biden campaign spokesperson accused mr trump of inciting political violence. a spokesman for the trump campaign said democrats have been calling for "despicable violence" against mr trump. romania and bulgaria havejoined the eu's schengen zone, which allows passport—free travel, but only for air and sea crossings. land border controls will remain in place, after austria blocked the countries from achieving full membership. actor chance perdomo, who starred in netflix horror series chilling adventures of sabrina has died at the age of 27 in a motorcycle accident.

he was born in los angeles but grew up in southampton. alongside his success in the states, he was nominated for best actor at the 2019 bafta tv awards for his role in bbc three drama killed by my debt. the national living wage is going up byjust over £1, to £11.44 per hour. the treasury says a full—time worker receiving this rate should take home around an extra £1,800 a year. it will also be paid to anyone aged over 21 for the first time. more details from our business correspondent marc ashdown. barista sam loves hisjob, but after paying his essential bills he's often left with just a few hundred pounds a month to live on. pay rises just help him stay afloat. i think you need balance, because obviously everything else goes up in price so it sort of evens out every single year. maybe for, like, a month you'll be like, "ooh,

i've got money this month!" and then it'lljust be, like — the next month will be a bit of a rough one. workers across the uk in some of the lowest—paid jobs are about to get a boost in their pay. from tomorrow, the national living wage is going up from £10.42 an hour to £11.44 an hour. that's an increase of 9.8%. the age at which a worker qualifies has also been reduced from 23 to 21 years old. the treasury says a full—time worker should be paid about £1,800 extra over one year. this is the largest increase in the minimum wage in cash terms and the first time it's gone up by more than a pound in one go, and it reflects, really, the strength in pay growth across the economy — which looks set to continue. minimum wage levels for workers aged between 16 and 21 will also rise. the lobby group uk hospitality said taken across all the pay scales, businesses could be having to find an increase of 17%. got significant cost headwinds they're facing into, notjust wages, but energy, food price inflation, and the cost of living pressures.

so there is a perfect storm going on here, and on top of this, a 17% increase in their wage bills. charities want to see more businesses sign up to the so—called real living wage, which sets minimum pay at a higher rate. but tomorrow's increase will give a pay boost to millions of workers. marc ashdown, bbc news. have you over being guilty of taking home a little souvenir that maybe you shouldn't have? like home a little souvenir that maybe you shouldn't have?— home a little souvenir that maybe you shouldn't have? like i am going to admit to — you shouldn't have? like i am going to admit to it _ you shouldn't have? like i am going to admit to it on _ you shouldn't have? like i am going to admit to it on the _ you shouldn't have? like i am going to admit to it on the telly! - it seems thatjournalists invited onto the us president's private plane might have gone a bit too far. after a recent trip on air force one, an e—mail was sent to the entire press pool to say that if they had "inadvertently taken something off the plane by mistake" then white house staff could help "facilitate a quiet return". items that have gone

there will be a lot more cloud than resort yesterday. for some of you it will be a much cloudier day. overnight, the air pressure has slipped further southwards bringing in is to win is, and more cloud off the north sea. parts of central and eastern england there will be a lot more cloud around. —— bringing in easterly winds. showers never too far away from the channel islands and cornwall. further north, lots of dry and reasonably sunny weather will continue during today. northern ireland, the rain clears away and the afternoon should be drier and brighter. plenty of sunshine, too, across scotland. the biggest contrast in temperatures here for the afternoon. only around 9—10, compared to the west coast, sheltered from the easterly breeze, up sheltered from the easterly breeze, up to around 16. tonight, the breeze

will freshen a bit further, rain becoming more expensive in some areas of the midlands and the north of england, but with some clearer skies in scotland there could be a touch of frost for one or two. low pressure on back, they monday will be a bit more broadly spread across the uk which means that after a fine couple of days, there will be a lot more cloud, and rain on and off through the north of england, the midlands and the middle of wales will also get some rain at times, too. south of that we will get a mixture of sunshine and showers. further north, some rain coming into northern ireland, driest across central and north—western scotland where we will see the best of the sunshine again. with more of a breeze it will feel cold along the north sea coasts. in the west we could get to around 14 degrees but not as warm as today. longer spells

of sunshine later on. going into tuesday, the rain spreads into scotland, a bit more brightness across some central and eastern areas but we will see some showers at times and some longer spells of thunder rearing by the end of tuesday in southernmost counties. i am just hearing sunshine, that is all i want to hear from you right now! actually the weather was lovely for the boat race yesterday, cambridge's men and women took home the trophy is, they were the winners in both races, but rowers from the university of oxford who took part have expressed concern about the e. coli levels in the river thames, after some of the team became ill and competitors were urged not to go into the water. oxford's lennyjenkins spoke after they lost the race, about how the sewage in the water may have affected their performance. i will also say, and this is in no way— i will also say, and this is in no way to— i will also say, and this is in no way to take _ i will also say, and this is in no way to take away from cambridge, but we have _ way to take away from cambridge, but we have had _

race of the year for them? yeah, it's a real shame _ race of the year for them? yeah, it's a real shame that _ race of the year for them? yeah, it's a real shame that they i race of the year for them? yeah, l it's a real shame that they weren't feeling at their best and it is really tough racing in high performance sport is really brutal, it's all about can you perform on the day? you can do as well as you want in training but you have to do it on the day, and it is one of the big concerns that british rowing at all of us in the gb rowing team have about the state of our rivers at the moment. there is a recent survey which has been done and the state of the rivers is so, so poor. it was not that surprising, perhaps, for some of us, that e. coli was found in the part of the river that they were rowing on. i in the part of the river that they were rowing on.— in the part of the river that they were rowin: on. , , ., were rowing on. i suppose we cannot sa for were rowing on. i suppose we cannot say for absolute — were rowing on. i suppose we cannot say for absolute certain _ were rowing on. i suppose we cannot say for absolute certain that - were rowing on. i suppose we cannot say for absolute certain that that i say for absolute certain that that is what caused the sickness, but it is what caused the sickness, but it is certainly a very plausible explanation, and i wonder how common is it for people to get unwell when they have been exposed to this water, is it something you have come across before?— across before? yeah, as you say, it's very difficult _ across before? yeah, as you say, it's very difficult to _ across before? yeah, as you say, it's very difficult to know - across before? yeah, as you say, it's very difficult to know if i across before? yeah, as you say, it's very difficult to know if it i it's very difficult to know if it was definitely e. coli but unfortunately it is something that happens more often than it should, and definitely increasingly so as well. we have to be really hot on our hand hygiene when we are coming

off the water, we're making sure that as athletes coming off wanting to refuel really quickly, but it is making sure that essentially we are clean so that basically any contaminant from the water is not being passed on to our food, contaminant from the water is not being passed on to ourfood, making sure things like our water bottles, we normally put them down in the bottom of the boat but more recently we are making sure that we have got caps on top of our water bottles, making sure that they are not getting contaminated with the water, and it is a real problem. haifa and it is a real problem. how disappointing. _ and it is a real problem. how disappointing, i— and it is a real problem. how disappointing, i suppose to put it mildly, is it that you are having to make those changes to what you do? some of the advise yesterday of course we said, don't be in the water. don't have your mouth open. i mean, this is sport, people are trying to breathe, they are in a race, and the advice is, don't have your mouth open, on a river? how frustrating is it? because you row that stretch of water, don't you? yeah. five road here a lot. and like you say, not having your mouth open

while you're training?! you saw some of the pictures from the boat race, you can't do anything but cast for air. it is relatively kind of unreasonable expectations, and i think what is really tough is, there is a lot trying to be done with both clubs doing water testing, but ultimately, there is a limit to the amount of what we can do. there was recently the environment agency said that it recently the environment agency said thatitis recently the environment agency said that it is basically double the amount of sewage that is being pumped into the river, so, there was 3.6 million hours' worth of spillage going into the rivers all across england last year, which isjust unacceptable, and it's really difficult because it's notjust rowers who are struggling, it is all river users and we are coming up to the summer, we want to make the most of the amazing rivers around the uk, but everyone is now at risk of essentially really, really dirty water. �* , ., ., essentially really, really dirty water. �* ., ., water. and there is a lot more awareness _ water. and there is a lot more awareness about _ water. and there is a lot more awareness about river - water. and there is a lot more l awareness about river pollution, coastal water pollution as well, these days, notjust thames water, other water companies have had a lot of criticism, but thames water say,

taking action to improve the health of rivers is a key focus. they talk about providing real—time data available to customers around water quality, they talk about spending millions of pounds, hundreds of millions of pounds, hundreds of millions of pounds upgrading sewage treatment works. and also we've heard a lot in a sense they are victims of the weather, the high volumes of rain that have been coming down this year, and that is all associated long—term with climate change as well. do you have any bbc.co.uk/news at all for the position water companies are in? i do have a lot of simply and i converted there has been some terrible weather, as rowers, you might have heard them talk about it in the race yesterday, but the crew from oxford, they have been flooded for the majority of their winter season, but ultimately it is their job and i think it is theirjob to protect the rivers and protect the water and essentially provide something that is safe and clean for everyone to be around and i think

there is definitely more that can be done and hopefully as i said, from 22 to 23, the water pollution doubled, hopefully we can see it having next year. bind doubled, hopefully we can see it having next year.— doubled, hopefully we can see it having next year. and of course the big build-up _ having next year. and of course the big build-up to _ having next year. and of course the big build-up to the _ having next year. and of course the big build-up to the olympics i having next year. and of course the big build-up to the olympics and i big build—up to the olympics and power in pigs in paris, we know that the authorities there have been doing a lot of work to try and improve the water quality in the river seine. it is a globalfocus, isn't it, but it seems particularly acute right now, when you see the impact day—to—day. would you have been happy to row yesterday, ought to be in the boat? i been happy to row yesterday, ought to be in the boat?— to be in the boat? i think, yeah, i would have. _ to be in the boat? i think, yeah, i would have, but— to be in the boat? i think, yeah, i would have, but as _ to be in the boat? i think, yeah, i would have, but as a _ to be in the boat? i think, yeah, i would have, but as a coxswain, . to be in the boat? i think, yeah, i would have, but as a coxswain, i| would have, but as a coxswain, i definitely would not have wanted to get thrown in. and this is the thing, whilst you are growing, you are on top of the water, of course, but you're getting splashed all the time, the blades are clipping the water, you are getting water all over you, and it isjust one water, you are getting water all over you, and it is just one of those risks that you are sort of willing to take. but yeah, i would have definitely been concerned if they wanted to throw me in. can you

ever see a — they wanted to throw me in. can you ever see a time _ they wanted to throw me in. can you ever see a time when _ they wanted to throw me in. can you ever see a time when they _ they wanted to throw me in. can you ever see a time when they would i they wanted to throw me in. can you i ever see a time when they would have to move the boat race, to somewhere like eton dorney?— like eton dorney? that's a very big cuestion. like eton dorney? that's a very big question- i— like eton dorney? that's a very big question. i think— like eton dorney? that's a very big question. i think there _ like eton dorney? that's a very big question. i think there would i like eton dorney? that's a very big question. i think there would be i like eton dorney? that's a very big question. i think there would be a | question. i think there would be a lot of people who would be very unhappy, this is kind of one of the oldest fixtures that has been going on every year. i think i would probably get shot down if i was saying that it should move and at the moment i don't think so, i actually think that instead of us just moving the problem, i think we should be putting more pressure on those water companies to do better, i think it is a really important thing, there are lots of people, we are right at the putney embankment here, there are tons of boathouses who make use of this river, it is one of the busiest stretches of river, you've got schools training here, clubs, masters rowers, all the way from grassroots through to elite sport and it is something that we all want to do, we want to be using it, and we can't move all of these people off. the boat race happens once a year but these guys train here every day. the boat race brings attention to it but actually we need

to think about the river users who are just using it on a daily basis. there is an entire river community that lives and depends on it, thank you very much, erin kennedy. we are on bbc bbc two and the new channel until nine o'clock this morning, we will bejumping over until nine o'clock this morning, we will be jumping over there until nine o'clock this morning, we will bejumping over there in a sack. still to come... we will be hearing more of your stories about seagulls stealing your food. but numbers of seagulls are falling and the british trust for ornithology tells us it is down to a loss of natural habitat. and we will be chatting to a woman from pembrokeshire who scooped nearly £80,000 worth of prizes, we will find out how she has done it. they with us, we go over to bbc two but goodbye to viewers on bbc one.

hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson.

king charles will make his first public appearance since starting cancer treatment today to attend church for easter sunday. the service is a regular in the royal calendar and is usually attended by many senior royals, but this year it's expected to be a smaller gathering. we're joined now by vanity fair's royal correspondent, katie nicholl. good morning to you. our smaller family affair this year, but people will be happy to see the king out in public, his first public appearance. good morning and happy easter. it will be happy easter for the royal family. it will be a scaled—down easter service. we will not have the sheer number of royals we are used to sing. but i think we have got used to seeing a slightly slim back monarchy of late and it will be very reassuring for the public, who have been pretty concerned about the royal family in recent months, been pretty concerned about the

royalfamily in recent months, to see the king and queen. while we have seen a lot of queen camilla standing infor have seen a lot of queen camilla standing in for king charles, this is the first time that we have seen the consensus cancer diagnosis. you sa that the consensus cancer diagnosis. you say that the — the consensus cancer diagnosis. you say that the public will be reassured. some people have been saying this is a real moment of crisis for the royal family, saying this is a real moment of crisis for the royalfamily, they are vulnerable when their key members are not available to the public, but do you think there is a certain understanding and acceptance now that things are going to be a bit different?— now that things are going to be a bit different? yes, i think so. the alace bit different? yes, i think so. the palace are — bit different? yes, i think so. the palace are keen _ bit different? yes, i think so. the palace are keen to _ bit different? yes, i think so. the palace are keen to get _ bit different? yes, i think so. the palace are keen to get out i bit different? yes, i think so. the palace are keen to get out that i bit different? yes, i think so. the i palace are keen to get out that this is a blip rather than a crisis. people don't see this as a crisis. it is a difficult period. you have a couple of very senior members of the royalfamily temporarily couple of very senior members of the royal family temporarily out of action, but i think that word temporarily is important. it will not look like this forever. the late queen elizabeth ii had a big list of what she called her substitutes. we see those substitutes stand—in for

king charlton was noticeable has been the queen, who has shown remarkable energy and commitment to her duty and thejob, remarkable energy and commitment to her duty and the job, representing the king as she did on commonwealth day. we were not sure if the king would be well enough to attend the service today and he is. he is getting used to getting back to public duties in the not—too—distant future. public duties in the not-too-distant future. ., , ., public duties in the not-too-distant future. . , ., ., public duties in the not-too-distant future. . ., future. that is an important point. do we have _ future. that is an important point. do we have any — future. that is an important point. do we have any idea _ future. that is an important point. do we have any idea of _ future. that is an important point. do we have any idea of timeline i future. that is an important point. do we have any idea of timeline at the moment for either the king or the moment for either the king or the princess of is? we don't know the princess of is? we don't know the specific form of cancer they are being treated for. ida. the specific form of cancer they are being treated for.— being treated for. no, we don't. regarding _ being treated for. no, we don't. regarding the — being treated for. no, we don't. regarding the princess - being treated for. no, we don't. regarding the princess of i being treated for. no, we don't. regarding the princess of is i being treated for. no, we don't. j regarding the princess of is that will be a lengthy period because she has onlyjust will be a lengthy period because she has only just started will be a lengthy period because she has onlyjust started her course of preventative chemotherapy. i am told that the king is tolerating his treatment well. considering the events coming up in the calendar such as royal ascot, that will depend on how he continues to

tolerate the treatment. if it is something like preventative chemotherapy, his immune system may be compromised and his medical team will not allow him to do anything that would put him at risk. they want this to be a speedy but complete recovery. most importantly he is carrying out his duties as head of state, so privy council meeting some of the audience with the prime minister, the constitutional role he is obliged to fulfil as head of state. what has been put on ice is the public facing engagements. they are the engagement is that the king loves to do and are the ones that are very important when it comes to the visibility of the monarch.— when it comes to the visibility of the monarch. when we talk about visibili , the monarch. when we talk about visibility, there _ the monarch. when we talk about visibility, there is _ the monarch. when we talk about visibility, there is more _ the monarch. when we talk about visibility, there is more pressurel visibility, there is more pressure on the royalfamily visibility, there is more pressure on the royal family to take up more engagements. are we expecting prince andrew to be at the service today? that is a really good question. we haven't been given the list of

attendees by the palace. i guess we are going to have to wait and see. he was at the christmas day service, he was at the memorial service of king constantine of greece, that is the service that prince william had to pull out of at the 11th hour. that became overshadowed by headlines about prince andrew is, he seemed to be leading the royals there. that would not be a great image for the royalfamily there. that would not be a great image for the royal family if that is what is going to happen today. the focus will be on the king and queen, but we have yet to find out whether andrew will be there. thank ou ve whether andrew will be there. thank you very much. _ whether andrew will be there. thank you very much, katie. _ whether andrew will be there. thank you very much, katie. we _ whether andrew will be there. thank you very much, katie. we appreciate it. it will be the first time that the king has been seen in public since his cancer diagnosis. the prince and princess of wheels will not be there with their family. happy easter if you're justjoining

us. the clocks havejumped happy easter if you're justjoining us. the clocks have jumped forward, so you have had in our class in bed but hopefully you have a relaxing day ahead. good morning. i'm not sure how relaxing it will be if you are a football fan. could it be a defining day in the title race because these two are playing each other. do you think there is not enough beef between football managers these days because there is so much respect, isn't there?— days because there is so much respect, isn't there? there is a lot of love and — respect, isn't there? there is a lot of love and respect _ respect, isn't there? there is a lot of love and respect between i respect, isn't there? there is a lot of love and respect between these two. pep guardiola has been on top of this relationship, they have won 12 of their last 13 against arsenal and manchester city will be favourites going into this one. just one point between liverpool, manchester city and liverpool. we have not been discussed with ten games to go for a decade. liverpool

will play brighton first at anfield. then manchester city and arsenal. mikel arteta's side have won every game in the league this year and the arsenal boss in hoping the international break hasn't broken his side's momentum. well, you cannot do it. that momentum is gone they had to go to their mashable —— national teams. momentum is gone they had to go to their mashable —— nationalteams. we maximised _ their mashable —— nationalteams. we maximised as monetary as we could with the _ maximised as monetary as we could with the players here. now everybody is back— with the players here. now everybody is back and _ with the players here. now everybody is back and so positive about what is back and so positive about what is coming — is back and so positive about what is coming and we are looking forward to it _ we played really good last month, but then— we played really good last month, but then international— we played really good last month, but then international break, i we played really good last month, i but then international break, always the first— but then international break, always the first game — but then international break, always the first game in_ but then international break, always the first game in the _ but then international break, always the first game in the international. the first game in the international break. _ the first game in the international break. you — the first game in the international break, you think, _ the first game in the international break, you think, what _ the first game in the internationall break, you think, what happened? the first game in the international- break, you think, what happened? we trained _ break, you think, what happened? we trained good — break, you think, what happened? we trained good. right— break, you think, what happened? we trained good. right now— break, you think, what happened? we trained good. right now every- break, you think, what happened? we trained good. right now every game i trained good. right now every game is so important _

chelsea play arsenal in a repeat of last year's league cup final. arsenal came out on top that time, in fact chelsea have lost the two. emma hayes�* is chasing a quadruple and says the trophy means just as much as the other titles her side are trying to win and her players will give everything. if you have watched archie performances in the cup finals? i have. let me be clear on this, the team know exactly how feel about the final on sunday in terms of showing up, joe ourselves. i don't care for it is important to them, it absolutely is important to me. chasing a third successive grand slam and a sixth six nations title in a row, england have made it two wins from two in the women's six nations championship as they beat wales 46—10 at ashton gate in bristol. the red roses ran away

with it as expected. securing the winning bonus point by halftime with four tries, they ran in eight tries in total including two from ellie kildunne. the crowd ofjust under 20,000 is a record for an england's women's home match away from twickenham. france also made it two wins from two, but they almost suffered a huge upset at the hands of scotland. they thrashed them last year, but had to come from behind in edinburgh, eventually winning15—5 and denying scotland a losing bonus point right at the end of the match. ireland play italy later. england's david skinns is in a five—way tie for the lead at the houston open. the 42—year—old shot a third round of five—under par to storm in to contention, in a round which contained five birdies. skinns is the world number 177 and has never won a pga event before.

that would be quite some story if he can do it. enjoy this sport, whatever you are watching today. when it comes to the best of british wildlife, it's fair to say seagulls aren't at the top of most people's lists. they are seen by many as food—stealing pests, but scientists say they are actually very intelligent. conservation experts are warning that gull populations across the uk are dwindling and attitudes need to change. helen briggs reports. seagulls showing off their flying skills on a winter's day. they may be a common sight near the coast, but hit by bird flu and the loss of wild spaces, some populations are in trouble. i don't think people

realise our numbers, especially of our breeding goals have been declining. perhaps they don't take so much notice of them and realise that the numbers have been dropping off because they're quite a visual species, aren't they? they're in our towns and parks and urban areas and we've become quite familiar with them. three common gulls and 26 black headed gulls there. in january, hundreds of volunteers took part in the first national survey of winter goals in 20 years to get a better picture of the six main species that spend the winter here. we're looking sort of ties dropping and the gulls decided together. so we've got a lot of black headed gulls here, a few common gulls and some herring gulls. and the idea of today's exercise is to count them coming in to a census. look at population change. but not everyone's a fan of seagulls. some species such as the herring

gull, a notorious for raiding bins and stealing food. and here in brtighton, people have mixed views. people are very unkind and cruel to seagulls. they throw stones at them. hate them. you hate them. the other day i ate a doughnut and theyjust folded right out of my hand. i love it. i know you can't walk around with food in your hand. i that's the only problem with the seagulls. i but other than that... i had my sandwich here while i was, i don't know, taking something from my bag. and then she just took my sandwich away from me. so i need to buy food now. but this scientist says seagulls aren't the problem. it's us. when we see their behaviour in terms of stealing or theft, what we should actually perceive is the intelligence of the animals. so we need to think differently about them. i would say so, yeah. to think of an animal as a pest is a negative mindset. if we think of them as intelligent creatures thriving in an environment that we've forced upon them, then that should give us a more respectful outlook on herring good behaviour. on herring gull behaviour. the experts say it's likely more seagulls will settle in their cities and evolve ever

more cunning behaviour. and when they visit the urban environment, sometimes they get a bad press. seagulls are misunderstood ? yes, absolutely. i think so. i think they're very charismatic creatures and definitely get a bad rap for sometimes aggressive behaviour in the breeding season. but they are a part of our natural world and they're just taking advantage of the hand that's been dealt them. the data from the survey will be used to draw up new conservation plans for seagulls, with the hope we can learn to live better alongside each other. helen briggs, bbc news on the south coast. we'rejoined now byjon carter from the british trust for ornithology. good morning, john. may be much maligned, that we don't think seagulls need much protection, there are a nuisance, but they are also potentially at risk.—

to adapt to some degree to a changing world and their rates of adaptation maybe isn't as fast as it should be. the decline is real and we need to keep an eye on that decline and whether we can mitigate against the spread and populations elsewhere. the decline is therefore many different reasons. aha, elsewhere. the decline is therefore many different reasons. b. lat elsewhere. the decline is therefore many different reasons.— many different reasons. a lot of eo - le many different reasons. a lot of people talk _ many different reasons. a lot of people talk about _ many different reasons. a lot of people talk about how - many different reasons. a lot of people talk about how different | people talk about how different species adapt organisation, the goal is to benefit from food from landfill and so on, but that is part of the problem, isn't it?— of the problem, isn't it? landfill sites are basically _ of the problem, isn't it? landfill sites are basically a _ of the problem, isn't it? landfill sites are basically a great i of the problem, isn't it? landfill sites are basically a great big i sites are basically a great big goofy put up for them. that moves them away from some of their core areas and feeding habits of the past. previously the just add marine invertebrates, but they have taken advantage of the change. also at the same time we have gone into their

and could "watch them all day". alan from staines said he is visited every day by a pair of herring gulls and "it s the best way to recycle any excess food". but the stories aren't positive for everyone. donna clayton said seagulls lay their eggs on her chimney every year but the over—protective adult birds mean she has to "peg out washing using an umbrella" to avoid being attacked. another viewer said they were attacked by a seagull who stole their ice cream in pembrokeshire. they said, "a policeman saw it happen and said if you can identify the seagull i will arrest it!" the mother of a 15—year—old boy, who was killed by a speeding driver in 2018, is urging parents to talk to their children about organ donation. debbie enever donated her son dan's organs because they'd had a conversation before he died, and that decision has now helped save the lives

of three other people. debbie has been speaking to our reporter nicola rees. welcome to the bereaved parents club podcast. i am your host, debbie enever. it is the club no parent wants tojoin, surviving the death of a child. for debbie, podcasting has been therapy since she lost her son, dan, in 2018. there was that moment when i turned up to look for him and realised that they were just police cars and nothing prepares you for the sight of your child lying on a gurney in a&e, with their head in a brace and incubated to help them breathe, nothing prefers you for something dan was killed by a speeding van driver. he died in sheffield children's hospital. on that day, debbie made the decision that saved the lives of three other people. hiya, come on in.

al lright? i'm alright, come in, paul. she agreed to donate her son's organs. paul neil is forever grateful for the kidney he received from dan. i probably might have been dead now. i do think about dan. i haven't forgotten about dan. which i don't think i ever will. and debbie, we have been in touch for the last five years, and when she gives me a cuddle, she always cuddles me a bit tight so i think it is because dan's kidney is me. dan and i had had conversations about organ donations from him being relatively little. and dan was very much of the opinion that, look, if i am dead, i don't need it so somebody else can have it. that was his approach. well, what can i say- about dan, we have never met him but we feel like we have | known him all his life since paul| got his kidney, since i we met up with debbie. we have a great friendship out of it and that is nice _ when you get that friendship. i love that one.

he looks a character there. it was such a natural photo. debbie has been using writing to help her cope with grief and this is the result, her first published book. she coined the word midowed to describe a mother who has lost a child. i'd like to think that it will help other bereaved parents to recognise their own experiences and also i would like to think it will give them a little bit of hope because i did survive the unsurvivable. there is hope. through her podcast and her book debbie hopes to encourage otherfamilies to talk about organ donation, something she knows dan would be proud of. nicola rees, bbc news. difficult conversations to have, but really worthwhile. debbie is a wonderful woman for being able to share that with us. happy easter. the clocks jumped forward by an hour. that is important because morning might be a little darker, but even it's much

lighter. yes, more time to enjoy the evenings. happy easterfrom me, too. we saw the sun come up an hour later but it means for some in the west tonight the sun will not set until after eight o'clock. out there today there will be some sunshine today but there will be some changes compared to yesterday, which was a lovely day for most of the uk. more cloud has moved in for central and eastern england in particular. we will see outbreaks of rain moved from east anglia into yorkshire through the day. still a few showers in cornwall and more developing here and across the channel islands later. the morning rain in northern ireland clears due to sunnier weather. while we see some low clouds drift up the north sea coast limiting temperature right here, further west and north it will be a

fine day, a much better day than yesterday with long spells of sunshine and highs of 15 or 16. into tonight the rain becomes more extensive across northern england. a few clear skies across part of central and western scotland, a chilly night here, a touch of frost possible. enter bank holiday monday there will be more cloud generally, although a bit more sunshine than today across the south. a zante across parts of northern england, some of that into southern scotland and northern ireland. more of a breeze, chilly along eastern coast. in any sunshine, temperatures could get up to 14 degrees. 30 years after it first hit our screens, gladiators is still proving to be a hit with tv audiences and the final of the new series aired last night.

dave coulson posted this video of his toddler sonny doing all the gladiators moves during the opening credits. basically he copies all the gladiators and it is so sweet and so accurate. dave says the impression of viper was his favourite! the addition of the unicorn, which sadly the gladiators don't have. i think that would work really well. i love him! a whole new generation being introduced to the gladiators. parents who may be watched the first time round in the 90s now able to watch it with their children. i

would just watch sunny all night! i would just watch sunny all night! abba's performance of waterloo won the eurovision song contest at the brighton dome in 1974 and turned an unknown pop group into instant stars. a new exhibition marks 50 years since that moment of pop history and our reporter sarah smith has been for a trip down memory lane. it was the performance which would steal the show. # my, my. # at waterloo, napoleon did surrender. # oh, yeah... for a week, brighton was in the grip of eurovision fever. this exhibition, a collection of stories from those touched by it. the big story is abba winning eurovision in brighton, which is a huge part of brighton pop history. but underneath that is all of the collective stories and memories from individuals. jacqui o'byrne was assisting her father, a photographer. they were at the grand hotel to catch abba

as they left for the dome. they came out of the lift in the most amazing satin pearls, but the man walked slowly, because they were in platform silver sparkling boots. musician bobby ward was also in the grand that evening watching as the band emerged. so, i gave frida a smile and she gave me a wink back. it was just a moment in time of an unknown band who... it was like i didn't know i was witnessing a slice of musical history. mel bowden was the dj providing music before the show. the whole of brighton was buzzing, there were parties everywhere. it was pretty glamorous for brighton '74. # waterloo, i was defeated you won the war... - carrol theobald was in the audience at the dome. i do remember how outstanding abba was. and we had a scoresheet in our programme, at the back, and i gave them top marks. behind the scenes, chris english, who worked for the electricity

board, had spent a week ensuring there would be no problems with power. but it was still touch and go on the night. i suddenly realised that the amount of power that the dome was drawing from the grid had shot up, because they'd put all the house lights on, which had never been on during rehearsals. so, i panicked a bit. the show did go on, though, and at the interval, this was the entertainment. # underground, overground, wombling free... a film of the wombles exploring the area. david grint was asked if he could drive one of them — wellington, as he remembers — around in his buggy. it was a flash of two or three seconds and then something else, so if you blinked, you missed it. but it was well worth doing — my claim to fame. # waterloo, i was defeated, you won the war. _ these images capture abba in brighton before and after the win which would catapult them to fame — a show which 50 years on,

those who were there have never forgotten. sarah smith, bbc news. the whole thing was so much more ok backin the whole thing was so much more ok back in 1974. the whole thing was so much more ok back in 1974. a diamond ring, lavish holidays, football stadium experiences and a year's supply of sweets are just some of the prizes one lucky couple from pembrokeshire have won over the last few years. kazzy and lee minon have entered 50 competitions a day since 2021 and managed to bag themselves nearly £80,000 worth of prizes. so how do they do it? let's find out, as kazzyjoins us now. good morning. nice to see you. you
