as thousands gather in st peter's square. as military strikes in gaza continue, ceasefire talks between israel and hamas are expected to resume in cairo. voting takes place in local elections across turkey with president erdogan�*s party hoping to regain control of cities it lost five years ago. hello. we start in windsor where king charles and queen camilla attended the easter sunday service at st george's chapel. here they are leaving the chapel much to the delight of crowds who had lined up to see them. this is the king's most significant public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer. he wasn't expected to mingle but he did, greeting well—wishers

and thanking them for waiting out in the cold. the prince and princess of wales did not attend, as catherine is receiving cancer treatment. the king has continued some work since his diagnosis, but all engagements so far have taken place in private. so this attendance at the easter morning church service at st george's chapel will be seen as an encouraging sign about his health. let's join my colleague sarah campbell, live at windsor for us. hello. it's been a busy morning here at windsor. it's very busy hair, lots of people turned up. i was talking to people queueing up to get inside to the grounds before 9am this morning because members of the public could get inside the grounds and they thought they were going to see, potentially, the king and the queen into and out of the chapel. as you will see now, some of them

actually got to have a conversation, to shake hands with the monarch. so they got a lot more than they expected. here is charlotte gallagher. the king and queen arriving at the easter sunday service. away from the crowd at windsor castle. this is an annual tradition but that hasn't been a normal year for the annual tradition but that hasn't been a normal yearfor the royals with both the king and the princess of wales being treated for cancer. todayis of wales being treated for cancer. today is the king's first significant public appearance since he his diagnosis in february. and he surprised well—wishers by greeting people outside of the chapel. best wishes to the _ people outside of the chapel. best wishes to the princess of wales. people outside of the chapel. best i wishes to the princess of wales. how ve kind, wishes to the princess of wales. how very kind. thank _ wishes to the princess of wales. firm very kind, thank you. your very greatest to stand out here. best wishes. greatest to stand out here. best wishes- the _ greatest to stand out here. best wishes. the prince _ greatest to stand out here. best wishes. the prince and - greatest to stand out here. best wishes. the prince and princess| greatest to stand out here. best l wishes. the prince and princess of wales were _ wishes. the prince and princess of wales were not _ wishes. the prince and princess of wales were not at _ wishes. the prince and princess of wales were not at the _ wishes. the prince and princess of wales were not at the church - wales were not at the church service. they are spending the easter holidays with their children

cancer diagnosis but is making process. it all seems a bit calmer, i am pleased to say. and i think that everyone hopes that william and catherine up in norfolk are really enjoying what they do best which is quietly hunkering down in the countryside there, it may be going to the farm at sandringham. george loves that. just being a family and trying to get some normality back. i think we are all feeling a little bit calmer now.— think we are all feeling a little bit calmer now. �* ,,., , . , bit calmer now. absolutely. jenny, alwa s bit calmer now. absolutely. jenny, always good _ bit calmer now. absolutely. jenny, always good to _ bit calmer now. absolutely. jenny, always good to talk _ bit calmer now. absolutely. jenny, always good to talk to _ bit calmer now. absolutely. jenny, always good to talk to you. - bit calmer now. absolutely. jenny, always good to talk to you. thankl always good to talk to you. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. i'm going to say goodbye to you from here in windsor. it a busy lunchtime, lots of tourettes. the castle itself is just reopen. lots of people getting tickets and going inside but i'm afraid they have mr king and queen. —— lots of tourists. thank you, lauren. the archbishop of canterbury wished king charles and the princess of wales well in his easter sermon

at canterbury cathedral. the pope also delivered his traditional easter mass in the vatican where he renewed his call for a ceasefire in gaza and the release of hostages being held there. here's our religion editor aleem maqbool. when pope francis pulled out of some easter events, concerns about his health intensified. but the vatican said it was to conserve energy for today. and that seem to have worked. though a little out of breath, easter mass went smoothly. after which the 87—year—old went on a drive about to greet what police estimated to be around 60,000 people who had come to st peter's square. events culminated with the pope's blessing and easter message. in it he talked of what he called the absurdity of war and focused on the children of gaza. translation: all my suffering we see in the eyes of these children, - they have forgotten how to smile,

the children in the area of war have forgotten how to smile. with those eyes they ask us, why? why all this dead? why all this destruction? war is always an absurdity. celebrations in the holy land this year, including at the church of the holy sepulchre at the site where christians believe jesus was crucified, buried and rose from the dead was scaled down. palestinian christians talked about an easter tinged with sadness and many foreign pilgrims stayed away. at canterbury cathedral, archbishop justin welby also talked of international conflicts but also struggles closer to home. we must confront evil and pain, whether it is the evil of people smugglers or county lines in our schools or the pain of suffering in a family riven with grief or rage or substance abuse.

whether home or abroad, he talked of the hope of the easter story and bringing light to darkness. aleem maqbool, bbc news, at the vatican. to the middle east now, where talks on a possible new gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal are expected to resume in cairo, according to egyptian media. israel is sending a delegation of security and intelligence officials to the indirect talks. it comes as the families of israeli hostages held by hamas in gaza step up the pressure on the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, to secure their release. this was the scene in tel aviv on saturday night, as relatives of the hostages joined with anti—government protesters — bringing tens of thousands of people onto the streets. bbc arabic�*s abdelbassir hassan has the latest from cairo. so far, if i'm going to speak about what's going in cairo already. the preliminary talks have already started in cairo with a delegation, a delegation from israel, mediators from the united states, qatar and egypt are already

meeting at present. hamas is not yet represented until now, but a source close to the meeting told the bbc that they are going to join soon. we have talked to hamas. they said they haven't received an invitation to attend this round of talks which is going on in cairo. the latest situations or positions from the sides, hamas has already announced that it just wanted israel to withdraw from the territories it has already entered after october 7th. they would like the israeli troops to withdraw from northern gaza to allow those who left their homes to go back to northern gaza and to allow the food and humanitarian aid across the strip.

they would like to have a full or complete ceasefire. 0n the other side, israel is known to have been sticking to one position, which is a continued battle or a continued campaign against hamas. they wouldn't stop the war. they can negotiate a truce which could be like weeks in exchange for prisoners from both sides. but so far there could be what they describe as a deadlock. and what's expected in cairo? you can't predict what's going on because we don't know whether they are going to discuss a six week truce or, according to the latest un resolution, the rest of ramadan, which is a ten days only truce until the end of ramadan, which is going to end in ten days from now. now to turkey, where millions of people are voting in local elections, which could see president erdogan's party retaking control of key cities it lost in the last polls five years ago. most eagerly watched

is the outcome in istanbul, which is home to nearly a fifth of the population. the current mayor there, ekrem imamoglu, is seen as mr erdogan's biggest challenger in decades. if he wins today, it would boost his standing as a potential rival to president erdogan in 2028. the elections are taking place against a backdrop of severe economic problems, including inflation of nearly 70%. let's speak to esra yalchinalp from the bbc turkish service who's in istanbul. why are these local election scene is so significant?— is so significant? these are local elections like _ is so significant? these are local elections like you _ is so significant? these are local elections like you mentioned - is so significant? these are localj elections like you mentioned but they are meant to determine who is going to collect our garbage, essentially and solve the problems in the city but they signify so much more for the country today. i myself went out to vote a couple of hours ago. as usual, i was faced with long queues of voters waiting at the

ballot boxes. people really do care. and turkey has always been a country with a high voter turnout with about 85% so far. today, the voters know that their boat will be shaping the upcoming political atmosphere in the country. and we must say that all eyes will be on the outcome of these elections. in a city of 60 million, it was gained by the opposition in 2019 after shattering the 25 year rule of the akp party and the islamist protest. today president erdogan wants to take the city back. mostly because the mayor, ekrem imamoglu, who is the opposition candidate is considered to be the biggest challenger to mr erdogan in decades. if ekrem imamoglu wins, the opposition will have high hopes for

the upcoming 2028 presidential elections. and it's highly likely that ekrem imamoglu will himself be the person who will face mr erdogan in the ballot box in 2028.— in the ballot box in 2028. what are some other — in the ballot box in 2028. what are some other elements _ in the ballot box in 2028. what are some other elements to _ in the ballot box in 2028. what are some other elements to watch - in the ballot box in 2028. what are some other elements to watch out | some other elements to watch out for? this some other elements to watch out for? �* , , ., some other elements to watch out for? ~ , , ., ., some other elements to watch out for? ~ , i. ., ., some other elements to watch out for? �* , y., ., ., 4' , for? as you have mentioned, turkey has hue for? as you have mentioned, turkey has huge economic— for? as you have mentioned, turkey has huge economic problems - for? as you have mentioned, turkey has huge economic problems in - for? as you have mentioned, turkey has huge economic problems in the | has huge economic problems in the last years. with about 70% inflation, official inflation, we must say. last month, an ongoing loss of purchasing power. the voters today are also weighing the performance of the government in the economic state. another thing to look out for is the islamist new well —— welfare party. this will provide a new option for voters who don't want to vote for akp who are

religious, conservative, i don't want to vote for chp either. this party will provide an alternative for these parties. this can be seen to indicate the reaction boat to the akp. in terms of the fairness of the elections, we have had some voices mentioning that in that time period running up to today, there has been a significant campaigning from the top ministers of akp campaigning in istanbul against ekrem imamoglu and they have been stating that this is creating an imbalance. in terms of today, historically it has been... it is very rare that a documented case of fraud was seen in the last elections. ,, , ., ,, ., .,

are going to do it, they are giving no reason that they cannot do it. so we have to give them a reason. we have not done it, so we can't expect to be top lake city or liverpool at the moment because we haven't done it. we know with these type _ because we haven't done it. we know with these type of — because we haven't done it. we know with these type of games _ because we haven't done it. we know with these type of games are - because we haven't done it. we know with these type of games are there i with these type of games are there a lot of— with these type of games are there a lot of stats — with these type of games are there a lot of stats. but the reality is that — lot of stats. but the reality is that we — lot of stats. but the reality is that we will play some games against teams _ that we will play some games against teams who— that we will play some games against teams who are really good and after if we teams who are really good and after it we win _ teams who are really good and after if we win both games, it would be incredible — if we win both games, it would be incredible. it's not a game that doesn't — incredible. it's not a game that doesn't pay my attention whether it's the _ doesn't pay my attention whether it's the top six on the top seven, it's the top six on the top seven, it's the _ it's the top six on the top seven, it's the same game, if you win, they don't _ it's the same game, if you win, they don't win _ it's the same game, if you win, they don't win. now is the moment that they have — don't win. now is the moment that they have to win.— they have to win. that is all to come later— they have to win. that is all to come later on. _ they have to win. that is all to come later on. under- they have to win. that is all to come later on. under golf - they have to win. that is all to l come later on. under golf now. world number one scottie scheffler is in a five—way tie for the lead going into the final round of the houston open on the pga tour. the american carded a round of level par 70 which puts him

best friends. that was just surreal. i will never forget this day because of that. everywhere i looked people were saying, let's go, danielle. the support that i got is hard for me to hide the emotion because it's just... i think these are the moments that we live for and we don't always get to have them. it's just really special.— just really special. now, onto cricket. sri lanka have piled on the runs in theirfirst innings against bangladesh on day two of the second test in chattogram. they made 531, with six of their batsmen making half centuries but none going on to reach three figures. kamindu mendi finished 92 not out. bangladesh have just begun their reply. they are 55—1 on their reply. babar azam has been re—appointed as pakistan's skipper in white—ball cricket. babar had been replaced by shaheen shah afridi after their failure at last year's 50 over world cup.

but he takes over again as they prepare for the t20 world cup in two months time. just to update you on the liverpool and brighton match, brighton are still winning 1—0. 20 minutes gone in that game, could be pinnacle in a title race. and that's all the sport for now. thank you. many of us have seagull horror stories, from having our chips nicked at the seaside to being divebombed by adult birds protecting their young. but scientists say seagulls should be seen not as pests but as clever, adaptable birds which are being forced into cities by the loss of their natural spaces. siegel is showing off their flying skills on a winter's day. they may be a common sight to the coast but hit by bad view and the loss of wild spaces, some are in trouble. aha, spaces, some are in trouble. number of our breeding goals are in decline. perhaps they don't take so

in fact far from it closer to the north sea coast and across central england. this rather a lot of cloud, chilly breeze of the north sea. we have had a few showers as well. if we look at the satellite picture, we can see a rugged area of cloud. basically the brighter skies and a further north and west you are. this area of cloud as part of a much wider circulation of rugged cloud or link to a big area of low pressure dominating the scene here. if we look at the outlook for the next few days, smaller lows embedded within this larger vortex will be sweeping away. here are the weather fronts, the blue is obviously the rain, stronger winds at times as well. the next few days, the outlook is looking pretty wet and what has been a very wet march in many parts of the uk. back to the afternoon, then. here at the temperatures. chilly on that north sea coast but 15 or 16 possible across some brighter skies care towards the west. now, tonight

across england and wales, rain is possible almost at any time. they could even be thunderfor a time in the south. the driest of our weather will be across scotland, may be a touch of frost in the highlands. in cities, temperatures will be typically between five and eight celsius. 0nto our forecast for tomorrow, the wettest of the weather will be across northern england, through the irish sea, just about into eastern parts of northern ireland as well, really quite a grey rainy picture most of the day. to the south, a mixture of sunny spells with the occasional heavy showers as well. the temperatures typically turn in scotland, around 12t014 across turn in scotland, around 12 to ia across more southern parts of the uk. the weather front will move a bit further north, starting to fizzle out but still bringing some dump to the north—east. then the next weather front sweeps into the south—west. through the day and into the evening, crossing the country as it moves northwards and eastwards. there is that outlook. there is one
