you can't put a value on caring for someone, but it doesn't pay the bills, it doesn't help, really. have you noticed the cost of a cup of coffee going up because bad weather in brazil and vietnam is driving up the cost of coffee beans and that is percolating down to your incident at home. we have all the details. how second—tier coventry city's remarkable cup comeback against manchester united ultimately finished in heartbreak for fans and players in a match they'll talk about for years to come. good morning, a cold start in the south—east of england but bright skies. that will not last because cloudy elsewhere with light rain heading to the south—east but brighter skies in the north later. all the details throughout the programme.

it's monday the 22nd april, our main story. the mother of murdered teenager stephen lawrence has told the bbc that the investigation into his death should be reopened, after the metropolitan police issued another apology for the way they've handled the case. stephen was 18 when he was stabbed to death in a racist attack in south london 31 years ago today. the metropolitan police commissioner has apologised to doreen lawrence after questions were raised about another suspect in a bbc investigation. daniel de simone reports. the racist murder of stephen lawrence took place 31 years ago today at a south london bus stop. two of the original five prime suspects were convicted almost 20 years after the murder. but the met�*s disastrous handling of the case means no one else has been brought to justice. last year, the bbc publicly identified a sixth suspect — matthew white, who died in 2021 — and revealed multiple

failures by the met to properly investigate him. now, stephen's mother, baroness doreen lawrence, gives her first interview about the new evidence and the met�*s response. we knew there was five, possibly six. now we know that there were six. and the one that's just passed away, he's probably the key one who probably caused stephen's murder and they did nothing about it. we showed not everything possible was done before the murder investigation was closed four years ago. baroness lawrence now has a personal message for the met commissioner, sir mark rowley. there's still lines of inquiries for them to follow up on. there's still three suspects out there, and i'm sure there's witnesses that probably could help them, if they're interested. so i think that's what i'd like to see him do — is to instruct his team to follow up on the information, whatever is out there. because if you don't go and look,

you're never going to find anything. the officer now responsible for the case, deputy assistant commissioner matt ward, promised baroness lawrence answers last year about the met�*s handling of the sixth suspect, but failed to provide them. he wrote to her injanuary to say he's ashamed and regretful, and then went silent. last week, her lawyer wrote to the met commissioner himself to complain. now, in a statement to the bbc, sir mark says: "on top of the failures over the decades, this is totally u na cce pta ble. restoring trust in the met is one of my top priorities, and that includes how we work with those affected by the failures of the past. i apologise to baroness lawrence, who must have answers to all her questions. i have written to her and offered to meet." she says she won't settle for the met�*s failures. i don't think any mother would want to do that. and i'm no different. i think all mothers want to make

sure that they're there to support their child if something happened. it's to hold those accountable for what happened to that person. i'm from the bbc. bleep. three prime suspects, including brothers neil and jamie acourt, remain free. they've always denied murder. were you there when stephen lawrence was attacked? - so would you like to see the investigation reopened? definitely so. she says the outstanding suspects are cheating justice. they're living their lives. they don't have to worry because the police have no intention of following up and seeking to investigate them. and they continue to get away with murder. daniel de simone, bbc news. more news now on london policing. the metropolitan police commissioner will meet london mayor sadiq khan today following a row over his force's handling of protests. sir mark rowley has faced calls to quit after an anti—semitism campaigner was threatened with arrest

at a pro—palestine protest. louisa pilbeam has the story. it's an incident that's prompted not one, but two apologies from the metropolitan police. jewish anti—semitic campaigner gideon falter wanted to cross the road through a pro—palestinian march, but was stopped by officers. when mr falter disagrees, the officer threatens to arrest him, caught on camera by the anti—semitism charity he works for. i was being treated like a criminal for being jewish, and after we'd been stopped by police, people started shouting abuse at us and the police surrounded us and not them. they told us we were threatened with arrest, not them. there were people crossing the road left, right and centre in any direction they wanted to.

the incident has led to met chief sir mark rowley apologising twice in three days. he's since been summoned to an urgent meeting today with the mayor of london, sadiq khan. it comes amid calls for the commissioner to resign. sir mark and the met have come under fire for the way pro—palestinian marches have been accused of turning london into a no—go zone forjewish people. in a bid to mend those relations, he will also speak withjewish groups today. if i remain here, you will arrest me? mr falter has been invited to a private meeting with the met, which he has accepted. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. the government says it is determined that its flagship rwanda bill will not face any more delays and that mps and peers will have to keep sitting and voting until it's passed when it returns to parliament today. the legislation is designed to make sure that migrants can be sent to the african country, by curbing legal challenges.

wet wipes containing plastic will soon be banned from sale in the uk. the government is expected to announce today that it wants to introduce the legislation in england before thejuly summer recess, which would make it illegal to sell or supply them. it follows overwhelming support from a public consultation. the rest of the uk is set to join the ban by the autumn. crucial safety equipment used on smart motorways has been hit by hundreds of power outages during the past two years, according to a new bbc investigation. it's meant there were times when signals, cameras and radar detection systems weren't working for days at a time. national highways says smart motorways are the safest of britain's roads. the us journalist terry anderson, who was held by kidnappers for nearly seven years during lebanon's civil war, has died at the age of 76.

he was held hostage along with terry waite and john mccarthy. he spent much of his time in solitary confinement. the mp mark menzies has quit the conservative party and said that he will leave parliament at the next general election, after being accused of misusing party funds. he strongly denies a newspaper report that he used political donations to pay for medical bills and to help resolve a dispute. our political correspondent harry farleyjoins us now from westminster. what is the reaction in parliament to the decision to step down? i think eyebrows might be raised particularly in response to the conservative statement. they say they concluded an internal investigation but they cannot conclude there had been a misuse of party funds because the particular county was paid out of falls out of the remit they say of the conservative party. as a reminder,

the background, it stems from a report in the times last week that said mark menzies had called an elderly party activist in the early hours in december asking for £5,000 in campaignfunds hours in december asking for £5,000 in campaign funds to be paid to him because he was being held by what he described as bad people and it emerged a further 111,000 had been paid out of campaign funds to cover his private medical expenses. he has said he will step down. he did not reference the allegations in his statement but said it had been a difficult week and he requested his family's privacy was respected. he will step down at the next election. we had the whip suspended from the conservative party and he denies the allegations. 11 people have been reported missing and tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes after heavy rain caused severe flooding in parts of southern china. rescue teams have been sent to the province of guangdong after days of heavy rain

have swollen rivers and caused landslides. let's get the latest from our china correspondent, laura bicker. the numbers of people potentially affected by the flooding is absolutely staggering. how is it looking now? it is absolutely staggering. how is it looking now?— looking now? it is the most populated _ looking now? it is the most populated province - looking now? it is the most populated province in - looking now? it is the most populated province in chinaj looking now? it is the most - populated province in china with 127 million people living there which is why the government dispatched rescue teams early. we are monitoring the situation in beijing and we see river levels are receding but overnight, water levels were as some officials described it, grim. they said heavy rain and local storms has turned quiet rivers into fast flowing torrents of water. some places, around 30 centimetres, around a foot of rain fell in 2a hours. this area is used to flooding

and is prone to flooding but even whether officials have been worried because they feared a once in a half—century flooding event and those fears appear for now to be unfounded. however, 11 people are still missing. rescue teams are searching for them. there have been a number of landslides that blocked roads and highways so getting in and out of remote areas has been difficult. schools have been closed and electricity supplies have been disrupted. and electricity supplies have been disruted. ., ~ and electricity supplies have been disruted. . ~ i. disrupted. thank you. extreme conditions _ disrupted. thank you. extreme conditions there _ disrupted. thank you. extreme conditions there in _ disrupted. thank you. extreme conditions there in china. - here's carol with a look at the weather. good morning. good morning. this week the weather is quiet back at home. if you are heading out and live in the south—east, east anglia, you will notice a cold start. norwich at the moment is only two

degrees. cloudy and the rest of the country. in inverness, the temperature currently at 9 degrees. through this week, temperatures will be below seasonal average. there is a risk of night frosts. we will see rain coming south today. most will be dry and we will see proper rain coming back as low pressure comes back into the forecast through the weekend, especially saturday night into sunday. this is what we have at the moment. a warm front moving south. the rain light and we have drizzle. a bright and sunny start in the south—east and then the cloud will push to the south—east through the midlands into south—west england and wales as we go through the day. it will move away from scotland and northern ireland and here we will see sunshine return. a mild weekend across the north. northern ireland had its warmest day of the year so

far yesterday. today, not quite the 19.3 we saw yesterday. 1a. 16 in glasgow and 8—10 as we move south. this evening and overnight, the weather front continues the descent south, taking cloud, light rain with it. clear skies follow behind. under clear skies, it. clear skies follow behind. under clearskies, it it. clear skies follow behind. under clear skies, it will be a cold night. temperatures for— five in the north. maybe seven in the night. temperatures for— five in the north. maybe seven in the south. thank you. an estimated 1.4 million across england, scotland and wales are currently in receipt of an allowance of £81.91 each week, for providing unpaid support to a friend or relative. calls for that figure to increase in line with the national living wage will be highlighted during a debate in westminster later, as carers face growing demands on their finances amid the cost of living crisis. 0ur reporter abi smitton has been

speaking to some of those affected. every monday morning, northamptonshire carers choir meets to rehearse. for many of the unpaid carers here, it's their only break from the constant demands of supporting a loved one. good girl. thank you. sarah cares for her daughter phoebe. phoebe's 23 and has a rare genetic disorder — pitt—hopkins syndrome. there is a relentlessness to caring. there is just this feeling that i'm doing this day in, day out, day in, day out. she had to give up work to care for phoebe full—time. ifelt like we had no choice. i couldn't balance everything. but, yeah, it was scary. it was scary thinking about the money. you know, i still wanted to achieve and strive and do stuff for myself. so it was a tricky one. it was very difficult. sarah is one of more than 1.4 million people in england,

wales and scotland who claim carer�*s allowance. carers can earn just under £82 each week if they spend at least 35 hours a week caring for someone else. a week caring for someone. it's pennies, really, in comparison. it doesn't equal — because the caring role can be so sporadic and it's across the whole day and night. it's just a drop in the ocean. victoria works for northamptonshire carers. she dropped everything to care for her dad until he passed away last year. she says claiming carer�*s allowance was a battle. she'd spend hours on the phone to the department for work and pensions, desperately trying to get support. not that — you can't put a value on caring for someone, but it doesn't pay the bills. it doesn't help, really. and it's a very cold, standard process which is followed. the letters are very sharp. and when you're feeling really low, it doesn't help at all.

it doesn't help. sarah cares for her mum, her brother and two children. she receives her carer�*s allowance payments each week, but they don't go far. it goes straight on my car. last week, i had four appointments — between my mum and my brother, i had four medical appointments, and that's on top of taking my children out and doing things. so it doesn't go very far with fuel prices and distances and everything. campaigners say the carer�*s allowance system is too confusing. neil has cared for his partner, david, since he was diagnosed with a rare degenerative eye condition. it is like a bereavement when you lose your eyesight. but, now, i've learned to cope the best i can, haven't i? yeah. yeah, you don't have a choice, really, do you? just back him up and everything and make sure he's 0k. yeah. last year, neil's carer�*s allowance was abruptly stopped when he started claiming his state pension. under the government's rules, carers aren't entitled to both payments at the same time. i was quite annoyed, actually,

i was quite annoyed. his disability is bad enough for me to get it before i was 66. it should still be the same the day after i was 66. because they stopped it straightaway. it is a 24—hourjob, it is constantly running around sorting out and organising the phone calls, the letters — just everything. carers will head to parliament today to call for changes to carer�*s allowance, including raising minimum payments and providing additional support for people earning the state pension. it's like i'm not valued. i feel like what i do isn't valued. the department for work and pensions says they recognise the role of unpaid carers and are committed to helping them financially. i would also love to have the assurance that if there was an emergency, we would be looked after.

we will be talking about that issue later in the programme. let's take a look at today's papers. the guardian leads with calls by some conservative mps for concessions on the rwanda bill. they want people from afghanistan who served alongside uk forces to be protected from being sent to rwanda if they arrive on small boats across the english channel. the daily mail leads on calls byjewish leaders for the met police chief to resign. it says he will be hauled before the home secretary james cleverly this week. it's after an officer threatened to arrest a jewish man at a pro—palestine march. the front page of the mirror shows sir keir starmer meeting doreen lawrence 31 years after her son stephen was murdered. the paper says the labour leader has vowed to honour stephen lawrence's legacy. lots of today's papers — inluding the sun — have this photo of victoria beckham being given a piggyback

by her husband david, as she left her 50th birthday party. and if you're a spice girls fan, you're going to be very excited by this video. # stop right now, thank you very much. # i need somebody with a human touch.# david is clearly very excited by it. all five members of the spice girls sang it at the party. and wasn't there any reference to a talk on a comment about them getting back on the road? since then, bookmakers�* odds of an official spice girls reunion this year have been slashed. a bbc investigation has found thousands of posts offering to sell deadly drugs, known as nitazenes, on major platforms.

the synthetic drugs — which are more dangerous than heroin — have been linked to a hundred deaths in the uk sincejune last year. 0ur correspondent colin campbell has more. the 21—year—old southampton musician dylan rocha died after unknowingly taking synthetic opioids called nitazenes that were hidden in heroin. just really wanted to cuddle him. i put my head on his chest, really scared. i didn't want to put my head on his chest because because his heart wasn't beating. we've discovered the super—strength manmade drugs linked to more than 100 uk deaths are being openly advertised by chinese suppliers on major social media sites. 0n x, formerly twitter, we found more than 700 adverts for nitazenes. 0n the music sharing platform soundcloud, we found almost 3,000. finding adverts on this scale — hundreds, thousands of adverts — it is horrifying with potentially a very significant

risk to human life. posing as a drug dealer, we contacted suppliers in china and received a flood of offers, videos of the labs where the drugs are supposedly made and bags of powder ready to be shipped. our product is very, very good. and the purity is up to 98. are you a fan of me from soundcloud? do you have many customers from soundcloud? yeah, yeah. we contacted 35 suppliers. 30 said they could post nitazenes to the uk. you promise it is safe?

after we contacted soundcloud, they removed all the posts. they say they were being targeted by bad actors for the purpose of selling or trading illegal drugs. they say they use staff and software to moderate posts and promise to take every possible action to tackle the worldwide epidemic of drug trafficking. after contacting x, hundreds of posts were removed, but, a month later, many remained on the platform. we asked if a failure to adequately moderate had allowed posts to remain online while the global trade of these dangerous drugs flourishes. they did not respond. dylan rocha used soundcloud to share his music. for his mum, there's only one course of action for the social media firms. take them down, obviously. have more stringent things in place to stop advertisements going on. the very thing that dylan used for people to know about his music

and love his music also advertising the drug that killed him. the bbc didn't buy any nitazenes and contacted all suppliers to ask why they were willing to provide illegal and dangerous products. only six responded, saying they'd never sent the drug to the uk and didn't know it was illegal here. the home office say amounts reaching the uk remain low and a recent tightening of the law means suppliers can now face life in prison. colin campbell, bbc news. the full documentary called the new drug threat is available to watch on iplayer. there are a lot of aching muscles across the uk. more than 50,000 people have taken part in this year's london marathon, the highest number of participants in the event's a3—year history. alongside the elite athletes, there was, as ever, the usual array of colourful costumes and eye—catching outfits, as runners made their way along

the route through the capital in aid of charity. let's take a look. 50,000 people will be following in the footsteps of the greats. we have enjoyed watching these pictures for so many years and it never fails to thrill. marcel hug, the champion of london again. a huge winning margin. it was the great kenyan who won last year and _ it was the great kenyan who won last year and fitting another young kenyan — year and fitting another young kenyan follows in his great footsteps. the champion of 2024!

0ne one of the greatest marathon runners we have _ one of the greatest marathon runners we have ever seen. and it is going to be _ we have ever seen. and it is going to be a _ we have ever seen. and it is going to be a new— we have ever seen. and it is going to be a new world record! it looks easy, doesn't it? shall we do it? no. it does look fun. a lot of smiles yesterday. we would love to hear from you this morning if you were involved, if a loved one was there. if you have a photograph of them taking part, we would love to see them. send your stories, how you're feeling today. how you got through it. people will say take out your earphones and do not listen to music and just let the crowd carry you. a mate of mine took part and he said the samba bands, do not need headphones because of all that energy. if you are sending a whatsapp image, make sure you include your name and the name of

your running friend and where you are getting in touch from. we will share them throughout the morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria cook. the mayor of london has arranged an urgent meeting with the head of the met police after a row about the force's handling of pro—palestinian marches. it comes after an officer ordered gideon falter to move, telling him he might provoke a reaction from demonstrators because he was "openlyjewish". a spokesperson for sadiq khan described the incident as "concerning". the force has apologised. today marks four weeks until a landmark report into what's described as the worst treatment disaster in nhs history. the infected—blood scandal saw thousands of patients during the 19705 and �*80s given products contaminated with viruses. mark was among them. he was a school boy when he found out he'd contracted hiv, with doctors saying he might not

make it to 18. if you're lucky, you have about two years, but you probably won't live long enough to leave school. at 14, when you get told that, what do you do? do you carry on with your education? what... your whole life just gets tipped upside down because i was told it was — that's it. and you can find coverage across the bbc on that story. head over to our website for more details. people living in the city of london say they've been suffering from nausea and headaches due to fumes from a nearby generator. it's being used to power an office block from the firm linklaters, after it suffered an outage last month. residents at cromwell tower on the barbican estate have held a protest over the situation which they say is "not liveable". a spokesperson for linklaters said it's working to resolve the matter as soon as possible. a women's cricket side in essex have achieved a first. they're celebrating after becoming a professional team. it follows a successful bid supported by the universty of essex

and a number of cricket boards. they're one of eight counties launching a women's team for 2025. it's hoped it will encourage more people to try the sport. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is a chilly start to the week — temperatures very close to zero — and we're going to hang on to these colder temperatures for much of this week. now, a bright start, a bit of sunshine first thing, but this cloud is going to sink south as we head further through today. could just get some spots of rain, some drizzle. temperatures really struggling — a disappointing 11 celsius. then overnight tonight, we'll see this cloud continue to sink further south. again, the odd spot of rain, but that cloud actually means it's not going to be quite as chilly as last night — the minimum between three and six celsius. so, as we head into tuesday, the cloud staying with us — it's actually a cold front — it will gradually start to sink south. so as we head through tuesday

afternoon, we're likely to see that cloud breaking up a little. should start to see some brighter spells, some sunny spells. a breezy day, though, and that breeze is chilly — temperatures, again, just 11 celsius. we're going to hang on to similar conditions further through this week — the odd shower. some sunny spells, though, with temperatures chilly. it's not until the end of the weekend next week, where we start to see temperatures improve. that's all from us for now. we're back in half an hour, but for now i'll hand you back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. after two years of delays and legal wrangling, the government's flagship rwanda bill could be passed by mps later tonight — with the prime minister saying that parliament will have to keep sitting until it's voted through. rishi sunak insists his plan will deter people from crossing the channel in small boats. under a five—year agreement, some asylum seekers who arrive in the uk will be sent to rwanda to have their claims

processed there. there are three possible outcomes for claims — if they are successful, the applicant could be granted refugee status and allowed to stay in rwanda. if they're not, they can apply to settle in rwanda on other grounds. the third option would be to seek asylum in another "safe third country". no asylum seeker would be able to apply to return to the uk. ministers hope the policy will stop people trying to make the dangerous english channel crossing on small boats. so far this year, more than 6000 migrants have made thejourney.no migrants have made thejourney. no—one has yet been sent to rwanda. that's 1200 more people than the same period last year. in 2023 — there were more than 29,000 arrivals — and that was down on a record number the year before. fiona irving visited a camp in calais to speak to some migrants, who said they are still determined to make the journey and would not be

deterred by the policy. shouting. footage taken just a few days ago. as migrants gather on the beach in life jackets, the french police turn up — trying to stop the boats. shouting. in another video, migrants make a dash to the sea. french forces stab their dinghy, making it unusable. we're told by the migrants who filmed this, they've tried to cross the channel seven times. in the camps around dunkirk, there are dreams of better lives. 0n the brink of the rwanda asylum bill becoming law, people here are waiting for their moment to cross the channel. how long have you been here? one month. one month? rosie from south sudan is 16, and wants to become a flight attendant. as an unaccompanied minor, we've concealed her identity. which is your tent? she takes me to her camp

for tonight, telling me she's determined to make it to the uk. are you worried about crossing the channel? because it can be quite dangerous. yeah, i'm worried. but nothing i can do. yes, god save us. just look at the conditions that some of these migrants are living in. we've seen dozens of camps like this dotted around the woodlands with hundreds — possibly even thousands — of asylum seekers looking to come to the uk. those we've spoken to aren't put off by the prospect of being sent to rwanda. it's worth the risk, you think, to go? i try my chance. if it's safe or not, if i go to rwanda or africa, it's no matterfor me. but first, i want to go to uk. it's important. my neighbouring country is rwanda. so if i knew rwanda was a safe country there to be, then i would have gone there because they are my neighbours. so because i know that rwanda can never be safe for me, that's why i risked myself, then took care like to come through sea, and then that's why i'm here.

it's very dangerous making the crossing. yes. maybe when i will go to rwanda again. - ah... come again, it's difficult. so if you were sent to rwanda, you'd try coming back again. yes, i will come again. yeah. i will keep the struggle. but the government insists the bill will act as a deterrent to these dangerous crossings. and, after two years, legal challenges and appeals and amendments from the lords. they're determined it will become law on monday. the priority now is to get this bill passed, right? at the end of the day, we've got to get this bill passed and i've said now, very clearly, we're going to get this done on monday. we don't want any more prevarication or delay. enough from the labour party. we're going to get this bill passed and then we will work to get flights off so we can build that deterrent. because that is the only way to resolve this issue. but charities working with asylum—seekers say the law won't see the end of small—boat

crossings to kent. the uk in, i think it was september, october of last year, announced that they're going to continue the funding for this project — if we're going to call it that — the policing operation of this border until 2034. so even from the uk's own admission, it doesn't seem like they think this is going to stop the situation. there's a very different statement between what is law and what's going to be done in practice. you know? we knew that this is a grave breach of international law. and i think the rhetoric that we're getting from the uk is a lot of fire and fury, but we're yet to see that the uk is actually going to be prepared to put people on these flights. migrants here know a new british law might see them sent to rwanda, but currently that's a risk they seem willing to take. fiona irving, bbc news, calais. john is here to talk about what was almost... well, it still is the most incredible story from the fa cup yesterday. incredible story from the fa cup esterda . ., .,, incredible story from the fa cup esterda . ., , ., , ., yesterday. one of those stop what ou're yesterday. one of those stop what you're doing _ yesterday. one of those stop what you're doing them _ yesterday. one of those stop what you're doing them is. _ yesterday. one of those stop what you're doing them is. whether - yesterday. one of those stop whatj you're doing them is. whether you were watching manchester united

ruled out, and then the ultimate heartbreak — defeat on penalties — as manchester united progress. andy swiss reports. normally, football is all about the winners. not this time. so near, yet so agonisingly farfor coventry city, after coming so close to an extraordinary upset. in manchester united, though, they were up against a team literally in a different league. and when bruno fernandes put united 3—0 up after the break, that — surely — was that. until one of football's most phenomenal comebacks. first, ellis simms gave coventry hope... coventry have one! ..before callum 0'hare's deflected shot gave them belief. suddenly theirfans sensed something special, and deep into stoppage time — guess what? united handball, coventry penalty, and haji wright did the rest. the fa cup has worked its unique magic once again! out of nowhere, it was 3—3,

and it was extraordinary. but the drama had onlyjust begun. in extra time, coventry thought they'd won it. the greatest semifinal there has ever been! but victor torp's effort was ruled offside by the finest of margins, and come the penalty shoot—out, their nerve finally cracked. 0h, he's blazed it. ben sheaf missed, rasmus hojlund didn't, and at last, united had dragged themselves into the final. some big questions for them — but even bigger plaudits for their opponents. beaten, but quite brilliant. well, that was one of the most incredible matches you will ever see. united into the final, but this was all about coventry, and a comeback their fans will neverforget. andy swift, bbc news, wembley.

incredible, extraordinary but ultimately heartbreaking coventry in the end. now, we've heard teams getting upset with a result. but yesterday nottingham forest's frustrations went a step further as they accused an official of being a supporter of relegation rivals luton town. just minutes after their defeat against everton they took to social media — they said... the football association say they are aware of the post and are investigating. pretty strong words. all penalty incidents involved everton's veteran ashley young. forest felt he caught the back of gio reyna's boot when the game was goalless, before then accusing the ex—england man of handball just before the break. their third complaint was for this tackle on callum hudson—0doi, in which anthony taylor felt young

had won the ball, but replays proved otherwise. it's a very poor decision of anthony taylor, very poor decision of var. very poor decision. and it's happening to us over and over again. no, it's difficult to tell the players to ignore and keep on going, because it's very clear. expect those protestations to continue. from the battle at the bottom to the title challenge at the top. liverpool are back on track thanks to goals from trent alexander—arnold, ryan gravenberch and diegojota who rounded off the win. next up for liverpool is everton in a merseyside derby on wednesday night. aston villa look increasingly likely they'll secure that all—important champions league spot by finishing fourth. villa conceeded a penalty in the first half hour against bournemouth, but then scored three to ensure unai emery�*s team remain fourth in the table,

six points clear of tottenham. meanwhile, crystal palace put a dent in west ham's european aspirations, beating them 5—2 at selhurst park. eberechi eze's bicycle kick was the pick of the bunch. what a goal it was in that big win. in scotland, there will be an old firm scottish cup final for the first time in 22 years after rangers beat hearts 2—0 at hampden. cyriel dessers scored both goals for rangers. the nigeria international scored early and then late. his second made sure of the result and will now face rivals celtic in the final after they beat aberdeen on penalties in the other match on saturday. manchester city are top of the women's super league after a 5—0 home win against west ham. the result moves them three points ahead of reigning champions chelsea — who have a game in hand. but city now have superior goal difference which could prove crucial at the end of the season.

wales have lost four from four in the women's six nations after they were thrashed 40 points to nil by france at cardiff arms park. france went into the match with three wins from three. they outclassed wales — joanna grisez intercepted the ball and almost ran the entire length of the pitch for the first of her two tries. the result sets up a grand slam decider against england next saturday. former championjudd trump said he was just happy to have got through his first match at the world snooker championship after beating iran's hossein vafaei by 10 frames to 5. trump led 6—3 after saturday's first session and breaks of 95, 74 and 89 helped him move into the next round. trump is in good form this season, having won four ranking events. a nervous day ahead for the four—time champion mark selby. he trailsjoe 0'connor seven frames to two. they'll resume this afteroon. selby said he could retire

if things don't improve. when i said it could be a big day, it could be a really big day for him with that result, if it doesn't go that way with those first—round matches are still being played. really big day. thank you. lovely to have you with us on monday morning. carol has the weather, let's see how lovely that will be. good morning. it is not too bad this week. it won't be bone dry and temperatures will be below the seasonal average. the risk of night frosts and a lot of us will have a lot of dry weather. the heavy rain arriving once again as low pressure enters our shores late on saturday and into sunday. if you have an allergy to pollen, the levels today are no more or less everywhere with are no more or less everywhere with a few moderates. 0ak are no more or less everywhere with a few moderates. oak and plane

continuing to drift towards the south—east. still some patchy light rain and drizzle but clearer skies following behind. quite breezy down the north sea coastline. tonight, it will be colder in the north than it is at the moment. and in the south it will be mildly than it is at the moment. as we head on into the rest of tuesday, we still have a weather front in southern areas, still with this cloud, some patchy light rain on it. as you can see quite nicely here, west is best in terms of weather on tuesday. a lot more sunshine around. deal cloudy with the rain and drizzle in the south—east, and we will have a brisk northerly wind which will really take the edge off the temperatures along this north sea coastline. but it will be quite a blustery day. these are our top temperatures. we are looking at seven in lerwick to 14 in cardiff and also plymouth. 15 once again in glasgow. as we move into wednesday, temperatures start

to change. wednesday itself, a brisk northerly wind and we also will see some of the show is coming across north—east england but we could catch a shower almost anywhere in the east. some central areas, as well. 0ut the east. some central areas, as well. out to the west, it will be drier and brighter and you can see the temperatures are slipping a bit. seven to 12 degrees. after that, thursday and friday, some showers. temperatures starting to creep up and we have the rain coming in on saturday night into sunday, but it is a long way off and could still change. let's enjoy this dry period while we have it. thank you, carol.- have it. thank you, carol. thank ou. when you think of children learning, you probably think of a school classroom — but what about a screen at home? that's where bbc education comes in — and this month it's celebrating 100 years since the first schools broadcast was aired. over the last century, it's evolved from radio programmes to interactive websites like bitesize, which helped provide lessons during lockdown. 0ur reporter ricky boleto

has been looking back. a house with a door. windows — one... for many, this is the sound of their childhood. ready to play? what's the day? it's monday! we found your very first appearance on play school. it's even got the old clapperboard there at the front. oh, my goodness me! have a look at that. and this is floella. hello! she chuckles. this leaf's almost as big as my hand. one of play school's best—loved presenters, baroness floella benjamin, first appeared in 1976. i did play school — it wasjust 16 years after i arrived in england. suddenly there i am on television, being part of the children's world for the future. who would have thought? don't you look smart, big ted? so do you, little ted.

it was terribly important, because education should be fun. education should be fulfilling. education should be exciting. and that's what we used to do for the children — make them feel excited about learning. but in the early days, it was quite different. certainly not as colourful. this afternoon, we present the first of five programmes on canada... in 1957, bbc television for schools began. and slowly, more teachers wheeled out their rather heavy school tv into the classroom. the first of this afternoon's programmes for schools and colleges follows in one minute. and remember this voice? hello, word watchers! ha—ha! i'm wordy! 0h. who are you? where did you spring from? i'm mr watchword the word watcher. i think after a very short space of time, we realised that wordy was extremely popular with the children because of the feedback from the teachers

and all the schools. but the most important thing was that, not only were they being entertained, but they were learning. hey, word watchers! what makes martin a real artist? st does! and while some things definitely haven't changed... look at this — always wanted to see what's behind there. ..the way that young people and children get their educational content from the bbc has definitely evolved with the times. as we race into the �*90s, technology transforms bbc education. bitesize — the online learning portal for young people — is launched... we've got a little page here. there we are. the gcse bitesize revision... ..becoming even more relevant during the covid—19 pandemic, as schools across the uk closed. the site attracted almost four million weekly users. this is the bbc light programme... from gathering around

the wireless, to live lessons streaming on smartboards — a lot has changed in the last 100 years. and it's time for us to go now — until tomorrow. bye — bye. ricky boleto, bbc news. i love floella, isn't she amazing? it still looks great. let's go through the round window! to celebrate 100 years of bbc education, bbc teach will broadcast a special live lesson on cbbc and bbc iplayer today. the commemorative lesson will be broadcast to children in schools nationwide. we will be talking about that later in the programme. 51m]!!! we will be talking about that later in the programme.— in the programme. shall we go throuih in the programme. shall we go through the — in the programme. shall we go through the big _ in the programme. shall we go through the big square - in the programme. shall we go through the big square windowj in the programme. shall we go - through the big square window now? are you ready?— if you like to start your day with a cup of coffee, you could soon find it costing you a little bit more each day. nina is going to explain why. good mornini. nina is going to explain why. good

during the 19705 and �*80s given products contaminated with viruses. mark was among them. he was a schoolboy when he found out he'd contracted hiv, with doctors saying he might not make it to 18. if you're lucky, you have about two years, but you probably won't live long enough to leave school. at 14, when you get told that, what do you do? do you carry on with your education? what... your whole life just gets tipped upside down because i was told it was — that's it. and you can find coverage across the bbc on that story. head over to our website for more details. people living in the city of london say they've been suffering from nausea and headaches due to fumes from a nearby generator. it's being used to power an office block from the firm linklaters — after it suffered an outage last month. residents at cromwell tower on the barbican estate have held a protest over the situation which they say is not liveable. a spokesperson for linklaters said it's working to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

a women's cricket side in essex have achieved a first. they're celebrating after becoming a professional team. it follows a successful bid supported by the universty of essex and a number of cricket boards. they're one of eight counties launching a women's team for 2025. it's hoped it will encourage more people to try the sport. let's take a look at the tubes. there are sever delays on the baklerloo and minor delays on jubilee lines. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is a chilly start to the week — temperatures very close to zero — and we're going to hang on to these colder temperatures for much of this week. now, a bright start, a bit of sunshine first thing, but this cloud is going to sink south as we head further through today. could just get some spots of rain, some drizzle. temperatures really struggling — a disappointing 11 celsius. then overnight tonight, we'll see this cloud continue to sink further south. again, the odd spot of rain, but that cloud actually means it's not going to be quite as chilly as last night — the minimum

between three and six celsius. so, as we head into tuesday, the cloud staying with us — it's actually a cold front — it will gradually start to sink south. so as we head through tuesday afternoon, we're likely to see that cloud breaking up a little. should start to see some brighter spells, some sunny spells. a breezy day, though, and that breeze is chilly — temperatures, again, just 11 celsius. we're going to hang on to similar conditions further through this week — the odd shower. some sunny spells, though, with temperatures chilly. it's not until the end of the weekend next week, where we start to see temperatures improve. that's all. we're back in half an hour. i'll hand you back tojon and sally good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. the mother of stephen

lawrence calls on police to reopen the investigation into his murder, as officers issue another apology for the way they've handled the case parliament set for a final showdown over the rwanda bill — mps and peers are due to vote late into tonight, as the government insists it wants no more delays. he's used to facing danger in the wild — but it's his own back yard that now worries steve backshall. he'll tell us about his mission to clean up the river thames. in sport — accustaions of bias towards a match official nottingham forest say three penalty decsions went against them because the video assistant referee supports relegation rivals luton. the fa are investigating. it isa it is a cold and for some frosty start in south—east england and east anglia. most starting on a cloudy note. some light rain heading south—eastwards. brightening up in scotland and northern ireland in the afternoon. all the details later.

it's monday the 22nd april. the mother of murdered teenager stephen lawrence has told the bbc that the investigation into his death should be reopened, after the metropolitan police issued another apology for the way they've handled the case. stephen was 18 when he was stabbed to death in a racist attack in south london 31 years ago today. the metropolitan police commissioner has apologised to doreen lawrence after questions were raised about another suspect in a bbc investigation. daniel de simone reports. the racist murder of stephen lawrence took place 31 years ago today at a south london bus stop. two of the original five prime suspects were convicted almost 20 years after the murder. but the met�*s disastrous handling of the case means no one else has been brought to justice. last year, the bbc publicly identified a sixth suspect — matthew white, who died in 2021 —

and revealed multiple failures by the met to properly investigate him. now, stephen's mother, baroness doreen lawrence, gives her first interview about the new evidence and the met�*s response. we knew there was five, possibly six. now we know that there were six. and the one that's just passed away, he's probably the key one who probably caused stephen's murder and they did nothing about it. we showed not everything possible was done before the murder investigation was closed four years ago. baroness lawrence now has a personal message for the met commissioner, sir mark rowley. there's still lines of inquiries for them to follow up on. there's still three suspects out there, and i'm sure there's witnesses that probably could help them, if they're interested. so i think that's what i'd like to see him do — is to instruct his team to follow up on the information,

whatever is out there. because if you don't go and look, you're never going to find anything. the officer now responsible for the case, deputy assistant commissioner matt ward, promised baroness lawrence answers last year about the met�*s handling of the sixth suspect, but failed to provide them. he wrote to her injanuary to say he's ashamed and regretful, and then went silent. last week, her lawyer wrote to the met commissioner himself to complain. now, in a statement to the bbc, sir mark says: she says she won't settle for the met�*s failures. i don't think any mother would want to do that. and i'm no different.

i think all mothers want to make sure that they're there to support their child if something happened. it's to hold those accountable for what happened to that person. i'm from the bbc. bleep. three prime suspects, including brothers neil and jamie acourt, remain free. they've always denied murder. were you there when stephen lawrence was attacked? so would you like to see the investigation reopened? definitely so. she says the outstanding suspects are cheating justice. they're living their lives. they don't have to worry because the police have no intention of following up and seeking to investigate them. and they continue to get away with murder. daniel de simone, bbc news. we will be speaking to a former chief superintendent from the metropolitan police in a few minutes but now more on london policing. the metropolitan police commissioner will meet london mayor sadiq khan today following a row over his force's handling of protests. sir mark rowley has faced calls

to quit after an anti—semitism campaigner was threatened with arrest at a pro—palestine protest. louisa pilbeam has the story. it's an incident that's prompted not one, but two apologies from the metropolitan police. jewish anti—semitic campaigner gideon falter wanted to cross the road through a pro—palestinian march, but was stopped by officers. when mr falter disagrees, the officer threatens to arrest him, caught on camera by the anti—semitism charity he works for. i was being treated like a criminal for being jewish, and after we'd been stopped by police, people started shouting abuse at us and the police surrounded us and not them. they told us we were threatened

with arrest, not them. there were people crossing the road left, right and centre in any direction they wanted to. the incident has led to met chief sir mark rowley apologising twice in three days. he's since been summoned to an urgent meeting today with the mayor of london, sadiq khan. it comes amid calls for the commissioner to resign. sir mark and the met have come under fire for the way pro—palestinian marches have been accused of turning london into a no—go zone forjewish people. in a bid to mend those relations, he will also speak withjewish groups today. if i remain here, you will arrest me? mr falter has been invited to a private meeting with the met, which he has accepted. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. the prime minister will hold a press conference later, where he is expected to talk about the government's plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda.

the government says it is determined that its flagship bill shouldn't face any further delays and that when it returns to parliament today, mps and peers will have to keep sitting and voting until it's passed. 0ur reporter simonjones has more. in the world's busiest shipping lane, another group of migrants reaches uk waters. they are picked up by the border force and taken to dover. the government's big plan to stop the boats is and remains sending some asylum seekers thousands of miles away to rwanda to act as a deterrent. it's faced repeated opposition in the house of lords, but the prime minister says enough is enough. at the end of the day, we've got to get this bill passed and i've said now very clearly we're going to get this done on monday. we don't want any more prevarication or delay. enough from the labour party, we're going to get this bill passed and then we will work to get flights off so we can build that deterrent, because that is the only way to resolve this issue. 6,265 migrants have crossed the channel in small boats so far this year, according to the home office.

that's 1,216 more than the same period last year. in the whole of 2023, there were 29,437 arrivals, which was down 36% on a record 45,774 people in 2022. here at the home office, there will be concern that the numbers are rising again. that's being put down to the weather, the fact the smugglers organising the crossings are using bigger boats and packing more and more people onto them. plus, it's thought the criminal gangs are telling people you need to get across the channel now before there are any flights to rwanda to lessen your chances of ending up there. it's more than two years since the rwanda plan was first unveiled. the government's bill declares the east african country to be safe. peers have called for that claim to be assessed by an independent committee of experts. labour says the whole scheme won't work and refugee groups share the concerns. rwanda won't act as a deterrent. we know that because people we work

with in the asylum system tell us. they're desperate to come to the uk to be safe. what will stop the boats is a deal with the french, more safe routes, so people don't have to take dangerous journeys, and serious enforcement action against the gangs. there isn't a single magic bullet such as rwanda. there isn't a magic deterrent. even if the bill does become law this week, the government has not committed to a timetable for the first flights, which could face legal challenges. simon jones, bbc news. the mp mark menzies has quit the conservative party and said that he will leave parliament at the next general election, after being accused of misusing party funds. he strongly denies a newspaper report that he used political donations to pay for medical bills and to help resolve a dispute. wet wipes containing plastic will soon be banned from sale in the uk. the government is expected

to announce today that it wants to introduce the legislation in england before thejuly summer recess, which would make it illegal to sell or supply them. it follows overwhelming support from a public consultation. the rest of the uk is set to join the ban by the autumn. 0pening arguments will begin today in new york for donald trump's hush—money trial. the former us president, who is running for re—election this year, is accused of covering up payments made to an adult film star, which he denies. an australian woman charged with murdering three people in a suspected mushroom poisoning case has appeared in court. erin patterson gained international attention following the deaths of three family members who fell ill and died in hospital within a week of eating a beef wellington she had prepared in july last year. she has previously denied the allegations. the case has been adjourned until next month.

11 people have been reported missing and tens of thousands have been evacuated from their homes after heavy rain caused severe flooding in parts of southern china. rescue teams have been sent to the province of guangdong after days of heavy rain have swollen rivers and caused landslides. 0ur china correspondent laura bicker has the latest. guangdong is the most populated province in china with 127 million people living there, which is why the government dispatched rescue teams early. we are monitoring the situation here in beijing and we see river levels are receding but, overnight, water levels were as some weather officials described it, grim. they said heavy rain and local storms has turned quiet rivers into fast—flowing torrents of water. in some places, around 30 centimetres, around a foot

of rain, fell in 24 hours. this area is used to flooding and is prone to flooding but even weather officials have been worried because they feared a once in a half—century flooding event. those fears appear for now to be unfounded. however, 11 people are still missing. rescue teams are searching for them. there have been a number of landslides that blocked roads and highways so getting in and out of remote areas has been difficult. schools have been closed and electricity supplies have been disrupted. extreme conditions there. here's carol. from the photograph, do we expect blue skies and sunshine? and a dog. blue skies and sunshine? and a dog-— blue skies and sunshine? andadoi. ., , and a dog. the dog is en'oying it! some of and a dog. the dog is en'oying it! some of us — and a dog. the dog is en'oying it! some of us are. t and a dog. the dog is en'oying it! some of us are. but _ and a dog. the dog is enjoying it! some of us are. but many - and a dog. the dog is enjoying it! |

attack in eltham in 1993. we're joined now by former met chief superintendent dal babu. good morning. 0n the anniversary of that awful event, i wonder what you make now, 31 years later, of the way the metropolitan police handled the investigation into this murder? the original investigation was a catastrophic failure by policing at every _ catastrophic failure by policing at every single level. the stephen lawrence — every single level. the stephen lawrence inquiry subsequently reported — lawrence inquiry subsequently reported on the incident and said there _ reported on the incident and said there was— reported on the incident and said there was little the police did well — there was little the police did well i— there was little the police did well. i think that lead to a wholesale change in how policing happened, particularly around murden — happened, particularly around murder. when i was a young constable, you would work on your role and _ constable, you would work on your role and he — constable, you would work on your role and be dragged off occasionally and form _

to understand the relevance of issues around ethnicity and race. it issues around ethnicity and race. it is an area they cannot seem to get right over and again. it is notjust the metropolitan police but policing. we do not have a single black chief constable in the country. 31 years ago, i appreciate things have changed, but people who looked like me 31 years ago were not given opportunities to be in squads like the murder squads. i am sure if there were people who are black and asian officers in those squads at that time, we would have had a better understanding of the challenges that many minority families face. we challenges that many minority families face.— challenges that many minority families face. we know sir mark rowle is families face. we know sir mark rowley is under _ families face. we know sir mark rowley is under pressure - families face. we know sir mark rowley is under pressure over l families face. we know sir mark l rowley is under pressure over the way the met has dealt with pro—palestine marches in london and calls for him to resign after an officer described an anti—semitism campaigner as openlyjewish. what

just accept things at face value. i have over the weekend asked to see the full footage and when it was revealed, you have a different account to what gideon falter originally said it had happened. gideon falter said he feels he was treated like a criminalfor gideon falter said he feels he was treated like a criminal for being jewish. i treated like a criminal for being jewish. ., ., ,~' treated like a criminal for being jewish. ., ., , treated like a criminal for being jewish. ., , ., , jewish. i would ask people to see the 13 and a _ jewish. i would ask people to see the 13 and a half— jewish. i would ask people to see the 13 and a half minute - jewish. i would ask people to see the 13 and a half minute clip. - jewish. i would ask people to see the 13 and a half minute clip. you can see how the officers are trying to support him. he said he wanted to cross the road and insists on crossing at that point. he is with a group filming. i think it is important news outlets give balance around the full clip as opposed to one comment that should not have been made by a police officer. i think there is a wider story around how social media stories take over without full scrutiny of the actual facts. d0 without full scrutiny of the actual facts. , ., ~' ~ without full scrutiny of the actual facts. ,, ~ ~ . facts. do you think the met police is handling _ facts. do you think the met police is handling these _ facts. do you think the met police is handling these protests - facts. do you think the met police

police officer should not have said openlyjewish. police officer should not have said openlyjewish— this is a story that drivers will be interested in. the bbc has discovered crucial safety equipment used on smart motorways has been hit by hundreds of power outages. the power losses meant there were times when signals, cameras and radar detection systems weren't working for days at a time. national highways says smart motorways are our safest roads. richard bilton reports. break down on a smart motorway, and you could be in trouble. there are emergency lay—bys — the government is building more — but if you can't make it, you're trapped in a live lane. what's supposed to keep you safe is technology, cameras, radar and signals. but it can't help you if it's not working. we found that, on a regular

basis, much of the safety equipmentjust doesn't work. either no power, or the kit itself is broken. so no vehicle detection, no cameras. it means the motorway�*s not smart any more, and you're on your own. we put in a freedom of information request, and found that betweenjune 2022 and february this year, power was lost on the smart motorway network 397 times. well, if we've got to the point where we can't necessarily rely on the cameras to be in the right position, we can't necessarily rely on the radar or the signs themselves, or the power outages, you know — what exactly are we left with to rely on as motorists when we're in quite a high—risk situation on a smart motorway in the first place? some of the details are staggering. lastjuly, there were no safety devices working for nearly five days on a section of the m6. in february, there were no signals,

signs, sensors or cameras on one stretch of the m27 for more than a day. atjunction 14 of the m4, there were no sensors or warning signs for 11 days. it matters, because if you get trapped in a live lane and the signals don't come on, you will never forget it. it happened to carla heartfield, when she was on the m20 in kent with her baby daughter. i climbed over to get out the passenger side... and i couldn't get my daughter out the car. i think because i was shaking, i was shocked. i remember screaming — i was going, "we're going to die, we're going to die." national highways says the radar detects more than 89% of stopped vehicles, but that means one in ten aren't spotted. we spoke to someone inside national highways. he works on smart motorways, and he says he no longer trusts the kit. happens all the time. sometimes it's...it's faulty.

sometimes they're repairing something and they'll turn it off. do you trust the radar? no. why? because i've seen it fail too many times. the department for transport says smart motorways are among the safest roads on our network. and national highways says safety is its highest priority, and reinstating the hard shoulder would increase congestion. it says there are well—rehearsed contingency plans to deal with power outages. we've got only one aim. we want the hard shoulder back in every single circumstance. claire mercer's husband was killed on a smart motorway. she now campaigns against them. she says she's contacted by people inside national highways who are worried about power outages. i mean, this one, he actually says, "we've been in tears for 24 hours. it's making us sick. once again, people need to stay off our roads tonight. if you break down in a live lane,

we won't know you are there." national highways says it warns motorists when the equipment isn't working. but the aa says it hasn't seen any warnings — and we couldn't find any, either. claire puts updates on her social media, telling drivers the technology that's there to protect them is no longer doing itsjob. richard bilton, bbc news. panorama's smart motorways: when technology fails is on bbc iplayer now and on bbc one at 8pm tonight. we are reflecting on the london marathon. you have been sending stories and pictures. reflecting from the sofa on the marathon. jo sent us an email to say she ran the marathon yesterday after being inspired watching her dad run it when she was just nine in 1995. here they both are at the end of the race, withjo's dad even wearing his 1995 marathon shirt.

well done. sam got in touch to let us know that this was her third london marathon and 13th marathon in total. she said that the crowds were amazing for the whole way round but she has decided to now retire from marathons. give it a few days. give it a few days. andrew sent us an email to tell us that his wife caroline ran the london marathon in an air ambulance flight suit, helmet and boots. good grief. hannah managed to set a personal best in the marathon with a time of three hours and 44 minutes. she also managed to raise £4,000 for her local hospice. so many stories of amazing sums of money being raised. for most people, it is raising all

important fund so well done everybody. hope you are feeling 0k today. keep sending the pictures. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria cook. the mayor of london has arranged an urgent meeting with the head of the met police after a row about the force's handling of pro—palestinian marches. it comes after an officer ordered gideon falter to move, telling him he might provoke a reaction from demonstrators because he was "openlyjewish". a spokesperson for sadiq khan described the incident as "concerning". the force has apologised. today marks four weeks until a landmark report into what's described as the worst treatment disaster in nhs history. the infected—blood scandal saw thousands of patients during the 19705 and �*805 given product5 contaminated with viru5e5. mark was among them. he was a school boy when he found out he'd contracted hiv, with doctors saying he might not

make it to 18. if you're lucky, you have about two years, but you probably won't live long enough to leave school. at 14, when you get told that, what do you do? do you carry on with your education? what... your whole life just gets tipped upside down because i was told it was — that's it. and you can find coverage across the bbc on that story. head over to our website for more details. people living in the city of london say they've been suffering from nausea and headaches due to fumes from a nearby generator. it's being used to power an office block from the firm linklater5 residents on the barbican e5tate have held a protest over the situation a spokesperson for linklater5 said it's working to resolve the matter as soon as possible. it's claimed parts of the capital are in danger of becoming "banking deserts" due to the closure of so many high street branches. a study by consumer group which? suggests more than 800 have been lost here since 2015. croydon south and harrow

east rank the worst. it's due to demand for online and mobile banking. but critics say it makes it more difficult for some to access local financial services. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is a chilly start to the week — temperatures very close to zero — and we're going to hang on to these colder temperatures for much of this week. now, a bright start, a bit of sunshine first thing, but this cloud is going to sink south as we head further through today. could just get some spots of rain, some drizzle. temperatures really struggling — a disappointing 11 celsius. then overnight tonight, we'll see this cloud continue to sink further south. again, the odd spot of rain, but that cloud actually means it's not going to be quite as chilly as last night — the minimum between three and six celsius. so, as we head into tuesday, the cloud staying with us — it's actually a cold front — it will gradually start to sink south.

so as we head through tuesday afternoon, we're likely to see that cloud breaking up a little. should start to see some brighter spells, some sunny spells. a breezy day, though, and that breeze is chilly — temperatures, again, just 11 celsius. we're going to hang on to similar conditions further through this week — the odd shower. some sunny spells, though, with temperatures chilly. it's not until the end of the weekend next week, where we start to see temperatures improve. that's all from us for now — we're back in half an hour, but for now i'll hand you back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we've covered the issue of sewage in our rivers and seas extensively on breakfast, and now the wildlife presenter steve backshall is calling for the public to back his petition to get sewage levels in the thames discussed in parliament. last week he told us how, after taking his own water samples, the pollution he found

there was "toxic". consuming that would put you in hospital, without any question. and it's not an exaggeration to say that it could have killed you. the levels of e.coli, norovirus, enterovirus were so high that sometimes the lab technicians wouldn't even open the samples that were sent to them. there are people walking their dogs along the banks, there are kids splashing around in the water — my own kids — and, you know, they could get seriously, seriously ill from this. we can talk now to steve backshall, and also to james wallace from river action. good morning to both of you. james, we will turn to you in a moment. steve, can we talk about how much that stretch of river means to you and your family? that stretch of river means to you and yourfamily? you live right next

of the great comebacks. coverntry city so close to one of the greatest moments in the club's history. they came from 3—0 down against manchester united at wembley. this the moment they equalised. they couldn't, could they? they very nearly did, thinking they had won it in extra time with this goal, only for it to be ruled out for offside. just the smallest of offside decisions there. and that was the moment united were behind in the shoot—out at one point, but a shot off target from coventry captain ben sheaf gave the premier league side a lifeline. rasmus hojlund scoring the winning penalty. united will wonder how they let a three—goal lead slip, heart rate for the coventry fans and players. —— heartbreak. next up for them manchester city, in a repeat of last year's final. i don't think any other team has been as close to getting to a final without getting there.

and, you know, they... yeah, i don't think we deserved it. you know, i think we deserved to go through. we were literally 20 seconds away from from going to the final and a toenail offside. i mean, it's ridiculous, really, but it is what it is. when we have a good plan and we have 100% belief in the plan, we have execution over more than 90 minutes, then we have a chance to win. it's not going to be easy, but there is a chance and there is an opportunity to win silverware and we have to go for it. well, if new partial owner sirjim ratcliffe was hoping for a quieter afternoon having run the london marathon in the morning, he was very much mistaken. having pounded the roads in the capital, he hot—footed it to wembley to see united in that semifinal. and you wonder what was the tougher encounter. probably the football, as united came so close to throwing that advantage away. now, we've heard of teams getting upset with a result. but yesterday nottingham forest's frustrations went a step further as they accused an official of being a supporter of relegation rivals luton town and allowing that to influence his decision making. just minutes after their defeat

against everton they took to social media... the football association say they are aware of the post and are investigating. let's look at those penalty incidents. all involved everton's veteran ashley young. forest felt he caught the back of a forest player's boot here when the game was goalless, before then accusing the ex—england man of handball just before the break. their third complaint was for this tackle on callum hudson—odoi, but none of them given. it's a very poor decision of anthony taylor, very poor decision of var. very poor decision. and it's happening to us

over and over again. no, it's difficult to tell the players to ignore and keep on going, because it's very clear. asa as a club we made a formal complaint seeing we would like to change the var situation. it is not good. that var situation. it is not good. at those points vital in their bid to avoid relegation. from the battle at the bottom to the title challenge at the top — liverpool are back on track, thanks to goals from trent alexander—arnold, ryan gravenberch and diegojota — who rounded off the win against fulham as they move level on points at the top with arsenal. next up for liverpool is everton in a merseyside derby on wednesday. aston villa look increasingly likely they'll secure that all—important champions league spot by finishing fourth. villa conceded a penalty in the first half—hour against bournemouth, but then scored three to ensure unai emery�*s team remain fourth in the table, six points clear of tottenham. elsewhere, crystal palace

thrashed west ham 5—2. there will be an old firm scottish cup final for the first time in 22 years after rangers beat hearts 2—0 at hampden. cyrial dessers scored both goals for rangers. cyriel dessers scored both goals for rangers. the nigeria international scored early and then late on — his second made sure of the result — and will now face rivals celtic in the final after they beat aberdeen on penalties in the other match on saturday. wales have lost four from four in the women's six nations after they were thrashed 40 points to nil by france at cardiff arms park. france went into the match with three wins from three. they outclassed wales — joanna grisez intercepted the ball and almost ran the entire length of the pitch for the first of her two tries. the result sets up a grand slam decider against england next saturday. now to the snooker, and some extraordinary comments from iranian

player hossein vafaei following his world championship first—round defeat yesterday. vafaei said that the crucible — the venue in sheffield where the tournament is played — smells, the practice room is like a garage, and he would like to see the world championship go elsewhere. after his ten frames to five defeat tojudd trump, vafaei said, "history is very important but nobody invests any money in this venue. everything is so bad at the crucible." the theatre has staged snooker�*s biggest competition every year since 1977 but only holds 980 people. its current deal expires in three years. a nervous day ahead for the four—time champion mark selby. he trailsjoe o'connor seven frames to two. they'll resume this afteroon. selby said he could retire if things don't improve interesting comments, perhaps looking to make headlines, he knows that will probably happen. ronnie o'sullivan has done it in the past

of the met police after a row about the force's handling of pro—palestinian marches. it comes after an officer ordered gideon falter to move, telling him he might provoke a reaction from demonstrators because he was "openlyjewish". a spokesperson for sadiq khan described the incident as concerning. the force has apologised. people living in the city of london say they've been suffering from nausea and headaches due to fumes from a nearby generator. it's being used to power an office block from the firm linklaters. residents on the barbican estate have held a protest over the situation a spokesperson for linklaters said it's working to resolve the matter as soon as possible. a women's cricket side in essex have achieved a first. they're celebrating after becoming a professional team. it follows a successful bid supported by the universty of essex and a number of cricket boards. they're one of eight counties launching a women's team for 2025. let's take a look at the tubes. some minor delays

on the baklerloo line. everthing else seems to be running ok. the weather today — this morning will see some sunny spells but it will cloud over in the afternoon. it'll be mostly dry but some of us may see a few spots of rain. top temperature 11 degrees. that's all from us. we're back in half an hour. now back tojon and sally.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines. the mother of stephen lawrence calls on police to reopen the investigation into his murder, as officers issue another apology for the way they've handled the case. parliament set for a final showdown over the rwanda bill, mps and peers are due to vote late into tonight, as the government insists it wants no more delays. the army of unpaid carers juggling the constant demands of looking after a loved one and the allowance which they say is wholly inadequate. you can't put a value on caring for someone, but it doesn't pay the bills, it doesn't help, really. ready to play? what's the day? it's monda . it

the racist murder of stephen lawrence took place 31 years ago today at a south london bus stop. two of the original five prime suspects were convicted almost 20 years after the murder. but the met�*s disastrous handling of the case means no one else has been brought to justice. last year, the bbc publicly identified a sixth suspect — matthew white, who died in 2021 — and revealed multiple failures by the met to properly investigate him. now, stephen's mother, baroness doreen lawrence, gives her first interview about the new evidence and the met�*s response. we knew there were five, possibly six. now we know that there were six. and the one that's just passed away, he's probably the key one who probably caused stephen's murder and they did nothing about it. we showed not everything possible was done before the murder investigation was closed four years ago.

baroness lawrence now has a personal message for the met commissioner, sir mark rowley. there's still lines of inquiries for them to follow up on. there's still three suspects out there, and i'm sure there's witnesses that probably could help them, if they're interested. so i think that's what i'd like to see him do — is to instruct his team to follow up on the information, whatever is out there. because if you don't go and look, you're never going to find anything. the officer now responsible for the case, deputy assistant commissioner matt ward, promised baroness lawrence answers last year about the met�*s handling of the sixth suspect, but failed to provide them. he wrote to her injanuary to say he's ashamed and regretful, and then went silent. last week, her lawyer wrote to the met commissioner himself to complain. now, in a statement to the bbc, sir mark says:

she says she won't settle for the met�*s failures. i don't think any mother would want to do that. and i'm no different. i think all mothers want to make sure that they're there to support their child if something happened. it's to hold those accountable for what happened to that person. i'm from the bbc. bleep. three prime suspects, including brothers neil and jamie acourt, remain free. they've always denied murder. were you there when stephen lawrence was attacked? so would you like to see the investigation reopened? definitely so. she says the outstanding suspects are cheating justice. they're living their lives. they don't have to worry because the police have no intention of following up and seeking to investigate them.

and they continue to get away with murder. daniel de simone, bbc news. and now another story about policing in london. the metropolitan police commissioner will meet london mayor sadiq khan today following a row over his force's handling of protests. sir mark rowley has faced calls to quit after an antisemitism campaigner was threatened with arrest at a pro—palestine protest. louisa pilbeam has the story. it's an incident that's prompted not one, but two apologies from the metropolitan police. jewish anti—semitic campaigner gideon falter wanted to cross the road through a pro—palestinian march, but was stopped by officers. when mr falter disagrees,

the officer threatens to arrest him, caught on camera by the anti—semitism charity he works for. i was being treated like a criminal for being jewish, and after we'd been stopped by police, people started shouting abuse at us and the police surrounded us and not them. they told us we were threatened with arrest, not them. there were people crossing the road left, right and centre in any direction they wanted to. the incident has led to met chief sir mark rowley apologising twice in three days. he's since been summoned to an urgent meeting today with the mayor of london, sadiq khan. it comes amid calls for the commissioner to resign. sir mark and the met have come under fire for the way pro—palestinian marches have been accused of turning london into a no—go zone forjewish people. in a bid to mend those relations, he will also speak withjewish groups today. if i remain here, you will arrest me?

mr falter has been invited to a private meeting with the met, which he has accepted. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. the prime minister will hold a press conference later, where he is expected to talk about the government's plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda. the government says it is determined that its flagship bill shouldn't face any further delays and that when it returns to parliament today, mps and peers will have to keep sitting and voting until it's passed. wet wipes containing plastic will soon be banned from sale in the uk. the government is expected to announce today that it wants to introduce the legislation in england before thejuly summer recess, which would make it illegal to sell or supply them. it follows overwhelming support from a public consultation. the rest of the uk is set to join the ban by the autumn. an australian woman charged with murdering three people in a suspected mushroom poisoning

case has appeared in court. erin patterson gained international attention following the deaths of three family members who fell ill and died in hospital within a week of eating a beef wellington she had prepared in july last year. she has previously denied the allegations. the case has been adjourned until next month. the american journalist terry anderson, who was held by kidnappers for nearly seven years during lebanon's civil war has died at the age of 76. he was held hostage along with terry waite and john mccarthy. he spent much of his time in solitary confinement. the former nurse lucy letby, who murdered seven babies at a hospital in chester, will apply for permission to appeal against her convictions today. our north of england correspondent judith moritzjoins us from outside the court of appeal in london.

judith, what can we expect from today? you will remember that lucy letby was convicted in august of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder a further six at the countess of chester hospital betweenjune 2015 and 2016, when she was sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison. after her trial she started a campaign for an appeal. the first stage she was refused, she applied for leave to appeal and a singlejudge looking at applied for leave to appeal and a single judge looking at the case on paper turned her down. she is automatically entitled to a second stage which involves a hearing here at the royal courts ofjustice before a panel of three judges. she will apply here today for permission to appeal. separately to that, there is a retrial that is listed injune, in which lucy letby will be retried

on one count of attempted murder which thejury in her on one count of attempted murder which the jury in her trial was unable to decide on and because of that, the media coming to the appeal court will be restricted in terms of what they are allowed to report. so very little to report from today other than to say that lucy letby�*s bid for an appeal will begin. other than to say that lucy letby's bid for an appeal will begin.- bid for an appeal will begin. thank ou. here's carol. i will start by telling you what happened yesterday. look at the difference in temperatures. 19.3 in northern ireland, the warmest day of the year there. and in north—east scotland, 6.4. today temperatures especially in the west will be higher then as we push further south. but temperatures are below seasonal average by the time we get to wednesday. a risk of light frost

at times and although we will see rain during the week, it will not be particularly heavy until the weekend when crosses our shores bringing rain overnight saturday into sunday. at the moment we have a weak the front producing light rain and drizzle. some cloud around it. ahead of it, a cold and frosty start in parts of the south—east. behind it some breaks in the cloud developing in scotland and northern ireland. in the afternoon, rain in the channel islands bushing across south—west england, east wales, may be drizzle in east anglia and north—east england. north—west england, northern ireland and much of scotland seeing sunshine. it will be pleasant in the sunshine with the top temperature in glasgow at 16. cooler than yesterday in northern ireland. tonight, the weatherfront

continues to push slowly south—eastwards. rain turning lighter in nature. behind it, clear skies and a cold night in the north tonight. slightly milder in the south than last night. there are nearly 1.5 million people in england, scotland and wales claiming carer�*s allowance. the amount they receive is just under £82 a week. today, mps will debate increasing the allowance in line with the national living wage, as carers face growing demands on their finances amid the cost of living crisis. abi smitton has been speaking to some of those affected. every monday morning, northamptonshire carers choir meets to rehearse. for many of the unpaid carers here, it's their only break from the constant demands of supporting a loved one. good girl. thank you. sarah cares for her daughter phoebe. phoebe's 23 and has a rare genetic disorder —

pitt—hopkins syndrome. there is a relentlessness to caring. there is just this feeling that i'm doing this day in, day out, day in, day out. she had to give up work to care for phoebe full—time. ifelt like we had no choice. i couldn't balance everything. but, yeah, it was scary. it was scary thinking about the money. you know, i still wanted to achieve and strive and do stuff for myself. so it was a tricky one. it was very difficult. sarah is one of more than 1.4 million people in england, wales and scotland who claim carer�*s allowance. carers can earn just under £82 each week if they spend at least 35 hours a week caring for someone. it's pennies, really, in comparison. it doesn't equal — because the caring role can be so sporadic and it's across the whole day and night. it's just a drop in the ocean.

victoria works for northamptonshire carers. she dropped everything to care for her dad until he passed away last year. she says claiming carer�*s allowance was a battle. she'd spend hours on the phone to the department for work and pensions, desperately trying to get support. not that — you can't put a value on caring for someone, but it doesn't pay the bills. it doesn't help, really. and it's a very cold, standard process which is followed. the letters are very sharp. and when you're feeling really low, it doesn't help at all. it doesn't help. sarah cares for her mum, her brother and two children. she receives her carer�*s allowance payments each week, but they don't go far. it goes straight on my car. last week, i had four appointments — between my mum and my brother, i had four medical appointments, and that's on top of taking my children out and doing things. so it doesn't go very far with fuel

prices and distances and everything. campaigners say the carer�*s allowance system is too confusing. neil has cared for his partner, david, since he was diagnosed with a rare degenerative eye condition. it is like a bereavement when you lose your eyesight. but, now, i've learned to cope the best i can, haven't i? yeah. yeah, you don't have a choice, really, do you? just back him up and everything and make sure he's ok. yeah. last year, neil's carer�*s allowance was abruptly stopped when he started claiming his state pension. under the government's rules, carers aren't entitled to both payments at the same time. i was quite annoyed, actually, i was quite annoyed. his disability is bad enough for me to get it before i was 66. it should still be the same the day after i was 66. because they stopped it straightaway. it is a 24—hourjob, it is constantly running around sorting out and organising the phone calls, the letters — just everything. carers will head to parliament

today to call for changes to carer�*s allowance, including raising minimum payments and providing additional support for people earning the state pension. it's like i'm not valued. i feel like what i do isn't valued. the department for work and pensions says they recognise the role of unpaid carers and are committed to helping them financially. i would also love to have the assurance that if there was an emergency, we would be looked after. this is an issue that affects so many families. we are joined now by helen walker, chief executive at carers uk. and joining us from essex is christie michael, who is a carerfor her mum. good morning. you have been looking after your mum for some years. how

judgesjohn torode and gregg wallace will be telling us about the dishes they never want to see on the show, ever again. i wonder if it was one of yours. i hope not. see you at 9:30. studio: i studio: lam studio: i am frightened to hear what it was. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria cook. the mayor of london has arranged an urgent meeting with the head of the met police after a row about the force's handling of pro—palestinian marches. it comes after an officer ordered gideon falter to move, telling him he might provoke a reaction from demonstrators because he was "openlyjewish". a spokesperson for sadiq khan described the incident as "concerning". the force has apologised. today marks four weeks until a landmark report into what's described as the worst treatment

disaster in nhs history. the infected—blood scandal saw thousands of patients during the 19705 and '805 given products contaminated with viruses. mark was among them. he was a school boy when he found out he'd contracted hiv, with doctors saying he might not make it to 18. if you're lucky, you have about two years, but you probably won't live long enough to leave school. at 14, when you get told that, what do you do? do you carry on with your education? what... your whole life just gets tipped upside down because i was told it was — that's it. and you can find coverage across the bbc on that story. head over to our website for more details. people living in the city of london say they've been suffering from nausea and headaches due to fumes from a nearby generator. it's being used to power an office block from the firm linklaters — after it suffered an outage last month. residents at cromwell tower on the barbican estate have held a protest over the situation which they say is "not liveable". a spokesperson for linklaters said it's working to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

it's claimed parts of the capital are in danger of becoming "banking deserts" due to the closure of so many high street branches. a study by consumer group which? suggests more than 800 have been lost here since 2015. croydon south and harrow east rank the worst. it's due to demand for online and mobile banking. but critics say it makes it more difficult for some to access local financial services. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is a chilly start to the week — temperatures very close to zero — and we're going to hang on to these colder temperatures for much of this week. now, a bright start, a bit of sunshine first thing, but this cloud is going to sink south as we head further through today. could just get some spots of rain, some drizzle. temperatures really struggling — a disappointing 11 celsius. then overnight tonight, we'll see this cloud continue to sink further south.

again, the odd spot of rain, but that cloud actually means it's not going to be quite as chilly as last night — the minimum between three and six celsius. so, as we head into tuesday, the cloud staying with us — it's actually a cold front — it will gradually start to sink south. so as we head through tuesday afternoon, we're likely to see that cloud breaking up a little. should start to see some brighter spells, some sunny spells. a breezy day, though, and that breeze is chilly — temperatures, again, just 11 celsius. we're going to hang on to similar conditions further through this week — the odd shower. some sunny spells, though, with temperatures chilly. it's not until the end of the weekend next week, where we start to see temperatures improve. that's all from us for now — we're back in half an hour, but for now i'll hand you back tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. after two years of delays and legal wrangling, the government's flagship rwanda bill could be passed by mps later tonight — with the prime minister saying that

parliament will have to keep sitting until it's voted through. rishi sunak insists his plan will deter people from crossing the channel in small boats. under a five—year agreement, some asylum seekers who arrive in the uk will be sent to rwanda to have their claims processed there. there are three possible outcomes for claims — if they are successful, the applicant could be granted refugee status and allowed to stay in rwanda. if they're not, they can apply to settle in rwanda on other grounds. the third option would be to seek asylum in another "safe third country". no asylum seeker would be able to apply to return to the uk. ministers hope the policy will stop people trying to make the dangerous english channel crossing on small boats. so far this year, more than six thousand migrants have made the journey. no—one has yet been sent to rwanda. that's 1,200 more people than the same period last year. in 2023 — there were more

than 29,000 arrivals — and that was down on a record number the year before. fiona irving visited a camp in calais to speak to some migrants, who said they are still determined to make the journey and would not be deterred by the policy. shouting. footage taken just a few days ago. as migrants gather on the beach in life jackets, the french police turn up — trying to stop the boats. shouting. in another video, migrants make a dash to the sea. french forces stab their dinghy, making it unusable. we're told by the migrants who filmed this, they've tried to cross the channel seven times. in the camps around dunkirk, there are dreams of better lives. on the brink of the rwanda asylum bill becoming law, people here are waiting for their moment to cross the channel.

how long have you been here? one month. one month? rosie from south sudan is 16, and wants to become a flight attendant. as an unaccompanied minor, we've concealed her identity. which is your tent? she takes me to her camp for tonight, telling me she's determined to make it to the uk. are you worried about crossing the channel? because it can be quite dangerous. yeah, i'm worried. but nothing i can do. yes, god save us. just look at the conditions that some of these migrants are living in. we've seen dozens of camps like this dotted around the woodlands with hundreds — possibly even thousands — of asylum seekers looking to come to the uk. those we've spoken to aren't put off by the prospect of being sent to rwanda. it's worth the risk, you think, to go? i try my chance. if it's safe or not, if i go to rwanda or africa, it's no matterfor me. but first, i want to go to uk. it's important. my neighbouring country is rwanda.

so if i knew rwanda was a safe country there to be, then i would have gone there because they are my neighbours. so because i know that rwanda can never be safe for me, that's why i risked myself, then took care like to come through sea, and then that's why i'm here. it's very dangerous making the crossing. yes. maybe when i will go to rwanda again. i ah... come again, it's difficult. so if you were sent to rwanda, you'd try coming back again. yes, i will come again. yeah. i will keep the struggle. but the government insists the bill will act as a deterrent to these dangerous crossings. and, after two years, legal challenges and appeals and amendments from the lords. they're determined it will become law on monday. they're determined it will become law. the priority now is to get this bill passed, right? at the end of the day,

we've got to get this bill passed and i've said now, very clearly, we're going to get this done on monday. we don't want any more prevarication or delay. enough from the labour party. we're going to get this bill passed and then we will work to get flights off so we can build that deterrent. because that is the only way to resolve this issue. but charities working with asylum—seekers say the law won't see the end of small—boat crossings to kent. the uk in, i think it was september, october of last year, announced that they're going to continue the funding for this project — if we're going to call it that — the policing operation of this border until 2034. so even from the uk's own admission, it doesn't seem like they think this is going to stop the situation. there's a very different statement between what is law and what's going to be done in practice. you know? we knew that this is a grave breach of international law. and i think the rhetoric that we're getting from the uk is a lot of fire and fury, but we're yet to see that the uk is actually going to be prepared to put people on these flights. migrants here know a new british law might see them sent to rwanda, but currently that's a risk they seem willing to take. fiona irving, bbc news, calais. 13 years ago, james hodgkinson was hit with a single punch

on a night out in nottingham. a few days later, he died due to a bleed on the brain. the teenager who threw that punch, jacob dunne, was sentenced to 30 months in prison. he was released after 13 months and that's whenjacob decided to turn his life around. through a rehabilitation charity, jacob has met james's parents to discuss what happened that night. now their story of forgiveness is being made into a play. let's take a look. i'm sorry. the cast currently rehearsing for punch at the nottingham playhouse are being advised byjacob dunne because this is his life story. it feels slightly bizarre, but humbling at the same time to know that such care is being taken. we're exploring an untraditional villain, but i'm also somebody that learnt from my lessons and tried to repair the harm. and what message i hope comes out of it is that there's light

at the end of the tunnel. this is where that story began 13 years ago — a single punch in a drunken brawl. jacob's victim, james hodgkinson, was visiting nottingham. james never recovered. so jacob didn't expect this — being supported after leaving jail by his victim's own mother. yes, i've forgivenjacob for what he'd done. i know now that he didn't do it with any intention to my son. and it's mainly young men, isn't it? joan's being played by a former coronation street star in a story that's dramatised by the nottinghamshire playwright james graham. this is right up there for me as one of the favourite i characters i've played. i know that bereaved parents often start campaigning. i but to do it with the person, j the perpetrator, and for that message to be about connection and not division, well, for me, l i feel like that's exactly - what the world needs right now. and david is playing jacob, who's

watching it all from the wings. i was asking you earlier that, was it a bit of an out—of—body experience? and i think you said that it was at times. yeah, a little bit at times, it's a bit strange. but what's important is — yeah, is the story that we're trying to tell. the play is based around several of nottingham's landmarks. welcome to the meadows. this subway injacob's own neighborhood inspired the design for the set. this is your story, but where's the victim? where's james hodgkinson in all of this? well, i like to think that, you know, james, in a funny way, lives on through me trying to create a legacy. it's something i'll have to deal with for the rest of my life. jacob hopes punch encourages more people to have difficult conversations. a story of forgiveness, redemption and hope. we are nowjoined by the people behind the play...

jacob dunne. james' mum, joan scourfield. good morning to both of you. the writer of punch, james graham. and the actorjulie hesmondhalgh. morning to both of you. jacob, shall we start with you? it is a strange situation you find yourself in when you are life, that moment in your life, becomes a drama. what is it like to see it being reported and covered this way?— like to see it being reported and covered this way? again, like i said in that piece. _ covered this way? again, like i said in that piece, it _ covered this way? again, like i said in that piece, it is _ covered this way? again, like i said in that piece, it is bittersweet i covered this way? again, like i said in that piece, it is bittersweet in i in that piece, it is bittersweet in a way. i wish i wasn't in that position, i wish i wasn't in this position, i wish i wasn't in this position, but at the same time, grateful we are able to use it as a positive and spread the message that is important to us and try to create healthier culture where people can be more responsible and think before they act and speak and, yeah, lots of the themes in the play that we

also, like james so brilliantly says, that the criminaljustice system itself how punitive it is and how we have got it into our heads, giving any people who are going through criminaljustice, any sense of... well, redemption or counselling or help in turning their life around, it seems a soft option. and it isn't. it also cuts down reoffending, it makes the world a better place. reoffending, it makes the world a better place-— reoffending, it makes the world a better lace. g ., . .,, ., ., ,, .,, better place. jacob, who do you hope sees this? i— better place. jacob, who do you hope sees this? i wonder _ better place. jacob, who do you hope sees this? i wonder if, _ better place. jacob, who do you hope sees this? i wonder if, you _ better place. jacob, who do you hope sees this? i wonder if, you know, - better place. jacob, who do you hope sees this? i wonder if, you know, if. sees this? i wonder if, you know, if a young jacob had seen something like this, might it have changed the way you felt about yourself? i like this, might it have changed the way you felt about yourself?- way you felt about yourself? i think it... i will way you felt about yourself? i think it--- lwill get _ way you felt about yourself? i think it... i will get as _ way you felt about yourself? i think it... i will get as many _ way you felt about yourself? i think it... i will get as many young - it... i will get as many young people down as i can. all the schools, the local knowledge is, people who have been in custody before. but it is also a message for parents, you know, of children who are at risk of offending but also professionals, because this is about, how do we create healthier

culture that allows people like me, he didn't know how to express how i felt, didn't know how to talk, to be in touch with my feelings and express myself helpfully, to we can create cultures where people can be supported to learn those skills. i feel like school should be a place we leave with emotional literacy and thatis we leave with emotional literacy and that is the big thing for me, creating cultures where young men in particular are able to express themselves helpfully and have these conversations more openly and have trusted adults where they can open up trusted adults where they can open up about their feelings and so it doesn't get bottled up. 50% of violent crime is alcohol—related and why are people bottling it up and it's coming out at the weekends? why are we not having this conversation is around the dinner table? why isn't this more normal about us resolving conflict and having those conversations? joan resolving conflict and having those conversations?— conversations? joan is nodding. thank you _ conversations? joan is nodding. thank you all— conversations? joan is nodding. thank you all so _ conversations? joan is nodding. thank you all so much - conversations? joan is nodding. thank you all so much for- conversations? joan is nodding. i thank you all so much for coming conversations? joan is nodding. - thank you all so much for coming in. it is an important subject. sounds like a fascinating project, as well.

punch will run at the nottingham playhouse from the lith to the 25th of may. when you think of learning, you might automatically think of school — but what about everything you learn at home? that's where bbc education comes in — and this april, it's celebrating 100 years since the first schools radio broadcast was aired. it's evolved since then, through programmes like bitesize, which were instrumental through the covid pandemic, bringing lessons to children in lockdown. our report ricky boleto has been looking back on how it's progressed. a house with a door. windows — one... for many, this is the sound of their childhood. ready to play? what's the day? it's monday! we found your very first appearance on play school. it's even got the old clapperboard there at the front. oh, my goodness me!

have a look at that. and this is floella. hello! she chuckles. this leaf's almost as big as my hand. one of play school's best—loved presenters, baroness floella benjamin, first appeared in 1976. i did play school — it wasjust 16 years after i arrived in england. suddenly there i am on television, being part of the children's world for the future. who would have thought? don't you look smart, big ted? so do you, little ted. it was terribly important, because education should be fun. education should be fulfilling. education should be exciting. and that's what we used to do for the children — make them feel excited about learning. but in the early days, it was quite different. certainly not as colourful. this afternoon, we present the first of five programmes on canada... in 1957, bbc television for schools began. and slowly, more teachers wheeled out their rather heavy school tv into the classroom.

the first of this afternoon's programmes for schools and colleges follows in one minute. and remember this voice? hello, word watchers! ha—ha! i'm wordy! 0h. who are you? where did you spring from? i'm mr watchword the word watcher. i think after a very short space of time, we realised that wordy was extremely popular with the children because of the feedback from the teachers and all the schools. but the most important thing was that, not only were they being entertained, but they were learning. hey, word watchers! what makes martin a real artist? st does! and while some things definitely haven't changed... look at this — always wanted to see what's behind there. ..the way that young people and children get their educational

content from the bbc has definitely evolved with the times. as we race into the '90s, technology transforms bbc education. bitesize — the online learning portal for young people — is launched... we've got a little page here. there we are. the gcse bitesize revision... ..becoming even more relevant during the covid—i9 pandemic, as schools across the uk closed. the site attracted almost four million weekly users. this is the bbc live programme... from gathering around the wireless, to live lessons streaming on smartboards — a lot has changed in the last 100 years. and it's time for us to go now — until tomorrow. bye — bye. ricky boleto, bbc news. we're joined now by the cbbc presenter rhys stephenson, and the head of bbc education, helen foulkes. good morning to both of you. rhys, you have used bitesize, haven't you?
