6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. the world's first personalised cancerjab for melanoma is being tested on uk patients — researchers say it could be a game—changer. on the brink — scottish first minister humza yousaf fights for his political future. 30,000 bags of flour leave this mill in oxfordshire every day but the exceptionally wet weather has hit the amount and quality of wheat available. i will find out what that means for your daily bread. a—star manchester city hit top form — the destiny of the premier league title is very much in their hands after a dominant victory at brighton.
6:01 am
hello from the unionjack club in london ahead of a very special day when normandy veterans will gather to begin commemorations for this year's 80th anniversary of the d—day landings. a cold and frosty start to friday for many, a bit of sunshine to begin with but, like in recent days, shower clouds are not far. will the weather get any better? i will have the full forecast later. it's friday 26th april. skin—cancer patients in the uk have begun taking part in a trial aimed at developing the first personalised vaccine for melanoma. the experimental treatment uses the same technology as some covid—19 jabs, and works by telling the body to hunt down cancer cells and prevent them from coming back. researchers say the jab also has the potential to stop lung, bladder, and kidney cancers. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. steve young, one of the first nhs patients to take part in the trial
6:02 am
for what's hoped will be a game—changing treatment. it's for melanoma — the deadliest of all the skin cancers — and it aims to help those at the highest risk of a recurrence. steve was given the experimental treatment at university college hospital in london. he had a melanoma removed from his scalp last summer. he told us the trial is his best chance of keeping cancer—free. i feel... 0k, someone told me i've got survivor syndrome because i actually feel guilty — i feel guilty that i'm completely fine and yet i'm getting all this attention and i'm... you know, i get to have a scan and an mri every three months when i know that people are waiting such a long time. and i... i genuinely feel kind of awful about that. but... ijust really hope that what's happening with the trial and the results they get are going to be good news, and it's going to go
6:03 am
on to do amazing things. the personalised treatment works by identifying proteins unique to each person's cancer, and then uses the same technology which created some covid vaccines — called mrna — to prime the immune system to attack the cells. it's being used in combination with another cancer drug, and previous results suggest together it almost halved the risk of recurrence or death after three years. it's a very specific treatment, highly personalised to each individual's tumour, and it's a really exciting way of hopefully turning the patient's own immune system against their cancer. and it looks like it could be a really effective therapeutic approach. this trial will really prove that's the case or not. this is an international trial. uk doctors are hoping to recruit at least 70 patients across centres including london, manchester, edinburgh and leeds. sophie hutchinson, bbc news.
6:04 am
naga, about 2k hours ago, yesterday morning, there was some serious shifts going on in scottish politics and that has had fallout since. chasms were formed and we can explain what is going on and the fallout from that. humza yousaf�*s future as scotland's first minister is hanging in the balance as he faces a no—confidence vote. it's likely to happen next week, and was called after he ended a power—sharing deal between the snp and the scottish greens. our scotland political correspondent david henderson has the story. the bute house agreement lasted less than 1,000 days, but it brought green ministers into government for the first time anywhere in the uk — and with them came a raft of green policies. so what do voters think now they're gone? i think it's sad because i think the greens are a good influence on the snp, but i guess we've had a minority government before, so i guess it's
6:05 am
going to happen again. yeah, like, ivote green most of the time. yeah, like, ivote green most of the time. but, yeah, it hasn't been brilliant. for months, this power—sharing deal was under pressure, with key plans like the deposit return scheme stalled, then ditched. chanting: trans rights! the final straw — a row over the pause on the prescription of puberty blockers for under—18s, and the scrapping of climate targets. so now the deal�*s collapsed, there's pressure on humza yousaf to change direction. but the balance of power at holyrood means it's not that simple. with the greens backing that no—confidence vote, the alba party's sole msp is crucial. well, luckily for humza, he's put the decision—making power of the parliament effectively into the hands of one of the brightest and best and most responsible msps in the parliament, which is ash regan of the alba party. she's one of the few adults in the room. so he has the opportunity to try and secure her vote, but he'll have to work at it.
6:06 am
and what now for the greens? they're out of office, but not — they think — out of power. wherever we are in the parliament, i we will fight for our principles, . and whereverwe are, we canwirx _ you know, one of our flagship policies — - free bus travel for under—22s — was a victory that we won - from the scottish government before we entered government _ for the first time. so we can win in government, l we can win out of government. so the scene's set for days of horse trading, then a knife—edge vote to decide what follows this power—sharing deal. david henderson, bbc news, holyrood. several actors have expressed their anger afterjudges in new york overturned a rape conviction against the former hollywood producer harvey weinstein. the court said he'd been treated unfairly, and ordered a new trial. weinstein will remain in prison as he was also found guilty of rape in california. the american actress, ashleyjudd — who's accused weinstein of sexual harassment — described the decision as an act of "institutional betrayal".
6:07 am
i walk in solidarity with all survivors of male sexual violence. and on this day, especially those who litigated this case against harvey weinstein in the state of new york. it's a hard day for survivors, but we live in our truth, we know what happened, and the truth is consistent. a 13—year—old girl will appear in court today, charged with three counts of attempted murder. after two teachers and a pupil were stabbed at a school in ammanford on wednesday. teachers and staff are expected to return today to prepare the building for students to come back on monday. british universities have been warned they are being targeted by foreign states in order to undermine uk national security. senior figures from institutions including oxford, cambridge and imperial college london have been briefed by mi5 on the threat to some of their sensitive research. a home office minister has been criticised after appearing

6:12 am

6:15 am
grant's heart stopped beating. we was out to do a12—mile run in prep for the manchester marathon. we stopped after 11 miles for a picture with the group, which we always do. literally, 15 minutes further down the road, just complete darkness. i screamed "grant" and looked up briefly and everyone was just stood around me crying. and i thought, this can't happen, like, this can't happen. grant is here today because of the quick—thinking of his friends who started cpr and ran to find a defibrillator, but also because of two guardian angels. as he stopped breathing, a lady came past and threw her bike down and it turns out she was a doctor. miracle of miracles. and then, as if by magic, another one appears and starts to help with the cpr. it was just amazing.
6:16 am
someone was looking down on us that day, definitely, definitely. i was dead and i was lucky. you want to know who these doctors are, don't you? - i'd love to find out. so tell me your full name. mel hamilton. | do you want tojust, i don't know, j start and look down — the camera. over there is camera one. you see the number underneath it? i have got scubs, by the way, but i thought i'd just, just casually — i've never done anything like this before. if it was one of you, then please come forward and get in touch because, you know, i'm indebted to the pair of you. and so, by the magic of bbc breakfast... do you want to meet him? yes, definitely. i'd be honoured to meet him. shall we meet them? let's go see them. let's do it, let's do it. let's go see them. when he went into the ambulance, were you certain that he would be ok? i was definitely not certain, no, absolutely not. - he was... he was dead. it was quite an emotional thing.
6:17 am
i mean, i cycle past there most days, so i've almost been hoping i'd see somebody or i'd hear something. are you ready to meet a couple of people? yeah. but then you saw the news on the bbc. then we saw the news. joe and mel. nice to meet you. oh, my god. how are you doing? great to see you. and you. honestly, probably the most emotional i could be. aw, i know. it's so nice to see you and see you doing well. i cried, actually, because it was just nice to finally have an answer on what had happened, and just really nice that he reached out to want to find us. i didn't know if he'd want to. there are more than 30,000 out—of—hospital cardiac arrests in the uk every year. less than one in ten survive. there's so many questions i feel i'd like to ask, you know, like, what was you doing at that time, and how lucky was you? honestly. honest to god. i was in there.
6:18 am
i was in the barbers across the road when it all happened and then- you went off in the ambulance. it's been playing - on my mind every day. aw. i thought about you. aw. so when you saw that television clip... overthe moon, delighted, surreal. it was... it was an immense feeling. itjust makes you... i think makes you realise there's so many nice people out there. did he tell you that you broke three of his ribs? no, but... sorry about that! mate, do you know what? i'll take that all day long. i got the chance to be, you know, a father, a son, and a brother again. so that's invaluable. early cpr and defibrillation can more than double a person's chances of survival. their actions brought grant back to life, and kept him going until medics from the liverpool heart and chest hospital could operate.
6:19 am
chatter. it was a big operation, wasn't it? yeah, if i was going to put it down the scale of one to ten, it's definitely a ten mark, yeah. there's some other people that want to come and say hi and see you looking well. it's like this is your life, isn't it? just waiting for the red book! how are you? are you ok? yeah. nice to see you. you're looking very well. thank you. this is the surgical team who performed a quadruple bypass on grant — a five—and—a—half—hour operation which ultimately saved his life. are you ok? thank you so much. you're welcome. how you doing? it is a very stressful operation. you can imagine all the steps we do, how many people are involved, - and there is no room for error.
6:20 am
he looks great, doesn't he? he does, yeah. i think i'll always be indebted to everybody in here, without a shadow of a doubt. you're meant to be here, aren't you? i'm meant to have another go, definitely, which i'm going to take advantage of. fate meant everyone here was there for grant, and grant is still here today. i've never been a big believer in people when they say, you know, it's not your time, but i clearly get that now. you had a couple of angels on your shoulder that day. yeah, definitely, definitely. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. great pictures, there was. i'm thinking three things. one, is obviously very grateful. he is also loving being alive. i remember him sitting here, you could see he was happy to still be here, which he said in that piece. and he is also very good hugger. must have hoped i2 very good hugger. must have hoped 12 by 15 people. very good hugger. must have hoped 12 b 15 --eole. ., �*

6:22 am
we will talk about how that works with a cancer specialist in around ten minutes. the wet weather we've had this spring may soon have an impact on the price of a loaf of bread, as it's caused problems with the british wheat harvest, and grain is being imported from germany. ben is at a mail in the cotswold. that is the stuff we need but we need to be affordable —— at a mill in the cotswolds. it is need to be affordable -- at a mill in the cotswolds.— need to be affordable -- at a mill in the cotswolds. it is rather noisy because i in the cotswolds. it is rather noisy because i want — in the cotswolds. it is rather noisy because i want to _ in the cotswolds. it is rather noisy because i want to show _ in the cotswolds. it is rather noisy because i want to show you - in the cotswolds. it is rather noisy because i want to show you the i because i want to show you the process of how the wheat gets made to make your bread that ends up on your breakfast plate perhaps as your slice of toast. this is the start of the process, the grain coming into the process, the grain coming into the machine, goes into here. michelle keeps an eye on things, she is one of the mellows at this factory in oxfordshire. have a quick look, how is it looking? looks fairly good so far, a bit more to be done before it is ready to be backed
6:23 am
up done before it is ready to be backed up as a flour. michelle, thank you. whizzing through these pipes. they actually pack and send out about 30,000 bags of flour from this one mill every single day. the wheat thatis mill every single day. the wheat that is not good enough for flower goes to be made into animalfeed. to grow wheat you need rain but the problem is we have had far too much of it and that is really causing difficulty. farmers say they have seen the wettest august to february period for almost 200 years. as a result it has hit the high vis and they are expecting the yield this year, by the end of the summer, to be 40% lower than it was last year. what they have harvested so far from the winter crop, only about a third is deemed good enough quality to be made into a flour to make our bread. as a result that means we will likely be importing flour mostly
6:24 am
from canada and germany and all of that means that the price of our bread has gone up. it is £1.39 and has gone up 22% in two years. let's speak to the experts. let's go through to the control room where it is quieter. ollie and alistair. we speak on behalf of the farming industry. how tough have conditions been forfarmers? farming industry. how tough have conditions been for farmers? really difficult this year. _ conditions been for farmers? really difficult this year. the _ conditions been for farmers? really difficult this year. the weather - conditions been for farmers? really difficult this year. the weather has l difficult this year. the weather has been _ difficult this year. the weather has been awful right the way through from _ been awful right the way through from the — been awful right the way through from the autumn until now. normally farmers— from the autumn until now. normally farmers get— from the autumn until now. normally farmers get two chances to get their wheat— farmers get two chances to get their wheat in_ farmers get two chances to get their wheat in the ground, one in the autumn— wheat in the ground, one in the autumn and one in the spring and this year— autumn and one in the spring and this year both of those have been reatiy— this year both of those have been really challenging. it is important to note _ really challenging. it is important to note that only the best quality wheat _ to note that only the best quality wheat will make it through to what we call _ wheat will make it through to what we call milling spec to be made into bread _ we call milling spec to be made into bread in_ we call milling spec to be made into bread in mills like this one and in conditions — bread in mills like this one and in conditions like this it is really difficult — conditions like this it is really difficult to meet that.- conditions like this it is really difficult to meet that. that is the perspective _ difficult to meet that. that is the perspective of — difficult to meet that. that is the perspective of the _ difficult to meet that. that is the perspective of the farming - difficult to meet that. that is the i perspective of the farming industry. alistair represents the flour millers like this factory we are in.

6:29 am
affordably, and the same as everyone else. we have come to the outside of a train station that is not accessible. so travel from here is impossible and i think that's unjust. and you can see a list of all 13 candidates vying to be the next mayor of london by scanning the qr code on your screen now. or you can head to our website bbc.co.uk/london. a man has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm after a woman suffered stab wounds in north london. police were called to kilburn high road just after midday yesterday to reports of a stabbing. the woman, in her 20s, has been taken to hospital where her condition has been assessed as nonlife—threatening. a man, in his 50s, also suffered a slash wound to his hand. 32 patients have been impacted by three separate incidents at homerton hospital trust fertility centre which resulted in the loss of embryos.
6:30 am
in the loss of embryos, the hospital trust has confirmed. in march, the centre had its licence suspended until may following the incidents, all of which occurred within the past year. the bbc understands that as many as 150 embryos could have been affected. border force officers at heathrow airport are planning to strike for four days in a dispute over working conditions. members of the pcs union are due to walk out from monday to thursday. the home office says it's "disappointed" in the union's decision, but was open to "discussing a resolution". let's take a look at the tubes now — there's a good service on the tubes this morning. now onto the weather with georgie palmer. good morning. as we draw towards the end of april, there is some warmer weather in the forecast. now, that is for next week. as far as today is concerned, it is going to be a cool and a cloudy day in the capital. if you're just heading out this morning, it is a very fresh start to the day. a lot of cloud around. we will hold on to a lot of that cloud through the day, perhaps some brighter spells.
6:31 am
light to moderate winds and highs of 13 celsius. so i think similar to the last few days. dry, initially, tonight, but then we will see the next frontal system spreading northwards, bringing some fairly heavy pulses of rain through the early hours. so a soggy night tonight with lows of 5 celsius. tomorrow, we've got a day of some fairly hefty april showers. quite a brisk breeze, some sunny spells. for sunday, further outbreaks of rain and feeling cool. and it's into next week that, gradually, we'll begin to see temperatures rise as we draw in some warmer air from the near continent, but still the risk of some outbreaks of rain. goodbye. that's it — you can keep up to date with all the day's stories on our website or by downloading the bbc news apop. we're back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. let's return to our main story. a ground—breaking new vaccine
6:32 am
for melanoma skin cancer that is being trialled in the uk. the personalised jab contains the same technology that was used in some covid—19 vaccines and identifies proteins in the cancer cells so they can be destroyed by the patient�*s own immune system. early studies have shown that used in conjunction with another cancer drug, it almost halves the risk of recurrence or death after three years. melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer and can spread to other areas of the body. the main cause of melanoma is ultraviolet light which comes from the sun and is used in sunbeds. around 17,500 people are diagnosed with melanoma each year in the uk. it's the uk's fifth most common cancer, but experts say 86% of these cases could be prevented by taking the right precautions. professor paul lorigan, who is overseeing the trial at the christie in manchester.

vaccines in the technical bits are there but to develop this personalised vaccine, 2—3 months. figs personalised vaccine, 2—3 months. is you say, the technology is there from the covid era and developing vaccines but this is different in that covid it was the same vaccine for everybody. this is a vaccine built for the individual and so that humour is broken down. we identify the targets in the tumour the immune system is likely to respond to. there is an algorithm so they make a choice of the best targets. shire choice of the best targets. are humans doing _ choice of the best targets. are humans doing that? does i choice of the best targets. are humans doing that? does a i choice of the best targets. are i humans doing that? does a machine choice of the best targets. are - humans doing that? does a machine do it? it will humans doing that? does a machine do it? it will be — humans doing that? does a machine do it? it will be a — humans doing that? does a machine do it? it will be a mix _ humans doing that? does a machine do it? it will be a mix of _ humans doing that? does a machine do it? it will be a mix of scientists - it? it will be a mix of scientists and machine. a lot of what we do, laboratory tests, blood tests is done by a machine. a lot of it is done by a machine. a lot of it is done by a machine. a lot of it is done by machine and overseen by

6:40 am
and it is looking ominous for their rivals. chasing a record fourth premier league title and just a point behind leaders arsenal with a game in hand after the comfortable win against brighton. city were at their ruthless best with kevin de bruyne opening the scoring with this brilliant header early in the first half. phil foden then scored twice before half time — capitalising on some poor defending for his second. what a season he is having. so city up to second and have a game in hand over arsenal, but manager pep guardiola isn't taking anything for granted. what happened — liverpool two defeats in the last three games, it can happen to us. it can happen to us, so who knows? every game is a mystery, what happens. so the important thing is still we are there, so there's a lot of games to play, a lot. ronnie o'sullivan's bid for a record eighth world snooker championship title has started with easy progress into the second round in sheffield. the rocket wrapped up a comfortbale,
6:41 am
the rocket wrapped up a comfortable ten frames to one victory against the welshmanjackson page, to secure his place in the last 16 at the crucible. o'sullivan is also aiming to complete snooker�*s triple crown, that's in a single season, following his wins at the uk championship and the masters. i've already broken the rules for snooker, as far as i'm concerned. i'm still going at a8, a9, whatever it is. so, you know, i'm just seeing what's possible now. you know what is possible in this game? how long can you keep going for, you know? can i win a world championship at 50? who knows? but i'm probably the only player that's able to do that, so let's see. let's have an experiment, you know. now a man 31 years younger than o'sullivan, luke littler has sealed his place at finals night of the premier league of darts after winning night 13 in liverpool. the manchester united fan had some fun with crowd, perhaps reminding one or two of the score from wednesday's merseyside derby. littler was still smiling come the end of the evening, beating rob cross 6—2 as he now eyes top spot in the table.

england's rosie davies ended the first round of the south african women's open with a share of the lead on the ladies european tour. davies finished the round on 6 under par, along with switzerland's elena moosmann. davies hit eight birdies, but missed the chance for a ninth on the final hole and that would have taken her clear. her compatriot, bronte law, finished the day two shots behind on four—under par. you might expect animals on the course in south africa, but it was in new orleans, where an alligator made it's way in front of the tee at the 17th to halt play. and it wasn't in any rush. easy does it . and eventually it found its way past the green. this one had four legs, but this course is famous for a three—legged alligator called tripod which used to hang around here and is now the club's mascot. nice entry into the water. i have played on courses where there are alligators in that area. when
6:43 am
you play, there are baby alligators. sweet until they bite your finger. they are not that sweet. they are everywhere. golfers are used to it. you know to stay away, let them do their thing and get on with your game. oblivious to what was going on around them. you will like this story. we talk about people going from one discipline to another. some fit more than others. sometimes your hand is forced by injury and it needn't be the end of your sporting career. gymnast amy tinkler became an olympic bronze medalist at rio 2016. she was just 16 year old at the time, but following an ankle injury and concerns over her welfare, she announced her retirement in 2020. this weekend, amy will be back on the international stage at the world cheerleading championships in florida. nick hope reports. ijust love the whole environment.
6:44 am
it's obviously very different. i'm very much used to being on the floor on my own and now i'm on the floor with 18 other people. so for me, it was just sort of an exciting new adventure and something new to try. it's special because it means more when you're doing it with the team, as well. as with much of her gymnastics career, amy tinkler has landed firmly back on her feet — now as a cheerleader — but it has been quite a journey from her remarkable rise at the rio olympics. the olympics is an incredible experience. obviously going there at 16—year—old, no pressure, no expectations, and to come away with a bronze medal was really, really special. and even now, obviously, i've had my medal out tonight and people are looking at it and they're shocked by it. and it still feels really special that i can hold that and say, "that is mine." that story of success soon became one of struggle, though. when i got my injury, that was a really hard period for me. it was a year and a half ofjust being in the darkness, really,
6:45 am
cos surgeons didn't know what was going on, doctors didn't, and that was a really tough time for me. amy tinkler says she made a formal complaint to british gymnastics last december about her experiences as a gymnast. it comes amid widespread allegations of abuse within the sport in britain. now we're in an era where uk sport want to, they say, win well — how proud are you of the difference you've made, empowering athletes to speak out when they're not happy? i'm proud of every athlete that's felt strong enough to speak up, whatever sport they're in. it was very old—school, and sports are just changing so much for the better. and the fact that people are acknowledging that because of the people that have spoken up is really heart—warming. it's clear to see and hear why amy is in a much happier place now compared to a few years ago, given the energy and passion you feel when you're this close to a cheerleading competition. but although it's a very different atmosphere and setting to her former one in professional gymnastics, she still has similar ambitions. i've always had that sort
6:46 am
of determination and drive to want to better myself constantly — whether that's been in school, in gymnastics, in cheer. i want to be the best version of me. and i got told that i would probably never do gymnastics again. and for me to be representing my team this year, to be at a world championships — i am so proud of myself for how far i've come. they are serious athletes. massively impressive. when is the weather going to get nicer? your department. cut to the chase. that is the question everyone has asked me. we need to talk about how cold it has been but let's start with a reality check. good morning. it has been cold over the past days but april so far, and it may surprise you, it is still warmer than normal, up to a degree then we would expect at this time of year,
6:47 am
maybe two degrees in east anglia and kent. nights are particularly warmer than normal, even some three degrees in southern england so although it is cold, it is april. we are not far away from where we should be. what is making a difference is the sunshine has been absent. and as you are well aware, it has been wetter than normal. are things going to warm up? we have optimism as far as temperature is concerned. we lose the northerly wind this weekend and next week bringing warmer winters. this will mean temperatures will take a boost. the rain that falls will be warmer than the cold rain right now but when the sunshine is out, it will feel pleasant with some parts of western scotland, northern ireland, western england getting up
6:48 am

turn warmer. ahead of the 80th anniversary of d—day, school children in london are preparing to take part in a history lesson like no other. they've been given the chance to speak to veterans about what it was really like on the beaches of normandy. breakfast'sjohn maguire is at the unionjack club in central london. this is a moment where these days for obvious reasons, there will be fewer. they cannot go on forever. that people who lived that day can tell their stories and today the opportunity to tell it to young people. the best kind of history lesson. you are absolutely right. it means an enormous amount to the veterans. if you think back to d—day1944, there were teenagers there, 16—year—olds were there. surviving to this day would make the younger
6:51 am
spectrum 96 years old. by any measure, that is a good innings. what they are committed to, and we have talked about it, especially with the normandy memorial built above gold beach, is that future generation and that message. that chance to talk to future generations and tell them their story but to speak not of the combat, but to try to teach lessons of peace. it means a great deal to them and i will get a great deal to them and i will get a chance to do that here later today. for many of those who fought over and across these beaches in northern france 80 years ago, the chance to tell their story not in the name of war but to promote peace is an opportunity they take whenever they can. the british normandy memorial above what was codenamed gold beach carries the names of the 22,442 under british command who died
6:52 am
securing the coastline and fighting towards the liberation of paris. but now, the site is about to embark on a new phase, with the opening this summer of an education centre, as nicholas witchell, a trustee, explained to me last week. phase one was the memorial, phase two has always been the education centre. education is so important. it was always a priority for the veterans. we've got to get a message through to younger generations to remember and to understand. so over there is the winston churchill centre for education. it will be ready for the 6th ofjune for its official opening. the ages of the fallen, immortalised in stone here, tell the story of how so many died so young. there were teenagers serving on d—day, so any veterans are today well into their 90s, if not older. but the few are becoming fewer.
6:53 am
just this week, bill gladden, who we filmed injanuary celebrating his 100th birthday, has sadly died. he will be sorely missed this summer. like the other normandy veterans, he was someone who gave so much 80 years ago and who believed in sharing now, helping people to understand the sacrifices his comrades and friends made and hoping future generations will never be asked to do the same. a busy day ahead for the veterans who arejoining us here a busy day ahead for the veterans who are joining us here today. a busy day ahead for the veterans who arejoining us here today. good morning, from the spirit of normandy trust. what are they going to be up to? ., ., trust. what are they going to be up to? ., ,., trust. what are they going to be up to? ., , ., , to? today is about two things. the first we are — to? today is about two things. the first we are assisting _ to? today is about two things. the first we are assisting the _ to? today is about two things. the j first we are assisting the memorial trust in launching the education pack. education is a key objective of both charities. to make sure the

6:59 am
frontal system spreading northwards, bringing some fairly heavy pulses of rain through the early hours. so a soggy night tonight with lows of 5 celsius. tomorrow, we've got a day of some fairly hefty april showers. quite a brisk breeze, some sunny spells. for sunday, further outbreaks of rain and feeling cool. and it's into next week that, gradually, we'll begin to see temperatures rise as we draw in some warmer air from the near continent, but still the risk of some outbreaks of rain. goodbye. that's it — you can keep up to date with all the day's stories on our website or by downloading the bbc news app. we're back in half an hour. see you then. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. the world's first personalised jab for skin cancer is being tested on uk patients — researchers say it could be a game—changer.

7:01 am
the body to target cancer cells and prevent them from coming back. researchers say the jab also has the potential to stop lung, bladder and kidney cancers. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. steve young, one of the first nhs patients to take part in the trial for what's hoped will be a game—changing treatment. it's for melanoma — the deadliest of all the skin cancers — and it aims to help those at the highest risk of a recurrence. steve was given the experimental treatment at university college hospital in london. he had a melanoma removed from his scalp last summer. he told us the trial is his best chance of keeping cancer—free. i feel... ok, someone told me i've got survivor syndrome because i actually feel guilty — i feel guilty that i'm completely fine and yet i'm getting all this attention and i'm... you know, i get to have a scan and an mri every three months when i know that people are waiting such a long time.
7:02 am
and i... i genuinely feel kind of awful about that. but... ijust really hope that what's happening with the trial and the results they get are going to be good news, and it's going to go on to do amazing things. the personalised treatment works by identifying proteins unique to each person's cancer, and then uses the same technology which created some covid vaccines — called mrna — to prime the immune system to attack the cells. it's being used in combination with another cancer drug, and previous results suggest together it almost halved the risk of recurrence or death after three years. it's a very specific treatment, highly personalised to each individual's tumour, and it's a really exciting way of hopefully turning the patient's own immune system against their cancer. and it looks like it could be a really effective therapeutic approach. this trial will really prove
7:03 am
that's the case or not. this is an international trial. uk doctors are hoping to recruit at least 70 patients across centres including london, manchester, edinburgh and leeds. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. naga come around this time yesterday there were major shifts happening in scottish politics. that was emerging. you use the word shift, i think split, chasm, point of no return. these are phrases used when it came to the snp and the green party in scotland. humza yousaf�*s future as scotland's first minister is hanging in the balance as he faces a no confidence vote. it is likely to happen next week, and was called after he ended a power—sharing deal between the snp and the scottish greens.
7:04 am
our scotland political correspondent, georgia roberts, joins us now. good morning. to say it has been a difficult few days for the first minister is a bit of an understatement. abs, minister is a bit of an understatement. �* , ., understatement. a little bit and -len understatement. a little bit and plenty more _ understatement. a little bit and plenty more difficult _ understatement. a little bit and plenty more difficult hours i understatement. a little bit and plenty more difficult hours to i understatement. a little bit and i plenty more difficult hours to come. yesterday was a day of high drama, culminating in the scottish green party, previously enough power—sharing agreement, coming out and saying they would vote to oust humza yousaf in that confidence vote called by the scottish conservatives set to take place next week. that makes the numbers for the first minister to be able to rent this vote looked incredibly tricky. it is all coming down to how opposition parties will vote in this. we know scottish labour, the scottish liberal democrats, are unlikely to back humza yousaf in this, and given the scottish green party have now turned their backs on him, it really puts this vote on a knife edge and it could all come down to the alba
7:05 am
msp ash regan if all parties voted against him, she could effectively have the casting vote. ironically she stood against the first minister in the snp leadership contest last year will stop she then left the party to join the alba party, led by the former first minister alex salmon. she has been a big critic of scottish government policy, especially when it comes to that deal with the scottish greens. and on issues of gender issues. she has written to the first minister this morning, setting out her demands in orderfor him to morning, setting out her demands in order for him to win morning, setting out her demands in orderfor him to win her support. she touches on gender issues and the independence agenda. we will see if humza yousaf response today. as you say, plenty more difficult hours ahead. his leadership this morning in serious trouble.— in serious trouble. thank you, geora ia in serious trouble. thank you, georgia robets. _ several actors have expressed their anger

afterjudges in new york overturned a rape conviction against the former hollywood producer harvey weinstein. the court said he'd been treated unfairly, and ordered a new trial. he will remain in prison after also being found guilty of rape in california. the american actor ashleyjudd — who's accused weinstein of sexual harassment — described the decision as an act of "institutional betrayal". i walk in solidarity with all survivors of male sexual violence. and on this day, especially those who litigated this case against harvey weinstein in the state of new york. it's a hard day for survivors, but we live in our truth, we know what happened, and the truth is consistent. a 13—year—old girl will appear in court today, charged with three counts of attempted murder after two teachers and a pupil were stabbed at a school in ammanford on wednesday. teachers and staff will prepare the building for students to return to school on monday. british universities have been warned that they're being targeted

7:09 am
yes. definitely. laughter. he's saying, if they come from a war zone in congo, would they then be sent to rwanda? not the most straightforward answer. we have spoken to an ally of chris philp who claims he was asking a rhetorical question to check the details were right. i should point out that later in that answer he went on to say that people who might suffer irreversible harm, as he put it, could be allowed to stay in the uk. but the problem for the government now is they have spent the last few weeks trumpeting this rwanda deal, being across the details, saying it is a safe country, to try to force this through the courts. that exchange last night is not the end to the week. —— not the end to the week they would have wanted. week. -- not the end to the week they would have wanted.- week. -- not the end to the week they would have wanted. the former senior post office executive angela van den bogerd will give evidence again today at the inquiry into the horizon it scandal. she dealt with many of the legal
7:10 am
cases against branch managers, and said she was "truly sorry" for the "devastation caused". our correspondent zoe conway reports. i do want to say to everyone impacted by wrongful convictions and wrongful contract terminations that i am truly, truly sorry for the devastation caused to you, your family and friends. angela van den bogerd's apology did not go unchallenged. the lead counsel suggested it didn't go far enough. firstly, ithink you make no concessions or admissions that you did anything wrong — correct? well, i didn't knowingly do anything wrong, and i would never knowingly do anything wrong. you don't apologise for your role in any of the events being examined by the inquiry, do you? subpostmasters began finally seeing justice in 2019, when the post office was forced to admit in court that accounts could be accessed remotely by fujitsu. angela van den bogerd gave evidence in the case. a transcript of her testimony was shown to the inquiry. you're telling the court
7:11 am
that the first time you knew of the possibility of inserting transactions was in the last year. orso — yes. that was false, wasn't it? well, at the time, i didn't think it was. no, no, that was false, wasn't it? several times during her evidence, she distanced herself from post office decisions about how to handle the horizon issue. so far today, you said you weren't close to many things. no, i've said the prosecutions — i was... i was not involved in prosecutions. not... not involved in briefing, not involved in it, not involved in the provision of information concerning horizon to second sight. what were you doing at this time? so i was... well, i had a separate role, as well. so i was doing whatever my business—as—usual role was. for subpostmasters, this was the biggest day of the inquiry so far. they were left unconvinced
7:12 am
by her evidence. just makes me very angry at the fact that she denies knowledge of aspects of the evidence that was given today. ijust feel really angered by it. they're very good at saying they don't remember, or they don't recall. as far as i'm concerned, that's a no—answer interview. they're just... they're just not doing what any normal person would do when they're asked to tell the truth. they're just not doing it. is there a reason i you can't remember? angela van den bogerd will likely face even tougher questioning today, as she faces lawyers representing the subpostmasters. zoe conway, bbc news. ——is there anything i you can remember? if we look out of the round window, matt, it looks like this. a little

strong but out of it it is chilly. particularly across the north. here we will see heavier showers into the afternoon, particularly inland over the hills where they could be wintry of higher ground. hail mixed in. sunny scotland, northern ireland and northern england. this is the evening rush hour, very few shower surround, most of you will be dry by now. greater chance of showers for parts of north—west england, midlands and southwards, but the dampest conditions to end the day for the commute home across the south—west of england and south wales. if anything tonight gets wet across southern counties to take us into tomorrow morning. the same across parts of wales. north of that, showers paid for all but the north and west of scotland so another chilly night, widespread frost from the far north of england, scotland and northern ireland. cold start to the weekend but for the best of the weekend weather, west of scotland and northern ireland the place to be. england and wales should see sunshine in the west but there will be some rain at times. thank you. it took about one of our favourite subjects.
7:15 am
sleep and how to get more of it! the sleep charity is calling on the government to introduce a national strategy which would highlight the importance of getting the rest we need, and also to help those with insomnia and sleep apnoea. our reporter tim muffett has spoken to one man who's been struggling with sleep for years. so this is the sound of you sleeping? yeah. john has a condition called sleep apnoea. heavy snoring. what does your wife think? she's not a fan. heavy snoring. sleep apnoea is a disorder in which breathing stops and starts during sleep. the airway becomes blocked, sufferers often wake up suddenly. heavy snoring. loud snoring is a classic symptom. so some people might think the sound of snoring is the sound of a good night's sleep. no, absolutely not. when you have a snoring sound, your airways are blocking, you're not getting enough oxygen, increasing the chance of stroke, heart attack, all sorts of things.
7:16 am
heavy snoring. it's pretty loud. yeah. but you can hear the... snoring stops. that's where the blocks occur. and forjohn, getting to sleep in the first place has been a problem since he was a teenager. i'd always put it down to the fact that i have a stammer, and it was the anxieties around speaking to people the following day. but about six years ago, i learned to control my speech. but still, those sleepless nights, the waking up — they kept happening. so it's about 12:30, 12:45—ish. no signs of sleep, and starting to get a bit worried. if i have a really bad run, i have to take time off work because ijust can't physically function enough. john was disappointed by the support offered by his local health authority. all they offer is recommendation to lose weight — i don't think i fall into that category — or cpap.
7:17 am
a cpap machine blows air through a mask. it helps some people with sleep apnoea, but notjohn. he's now travelling from the west midlands to a hospital in london for treatment there. it's very frustrating. it's a real postcode lottery. a manifesto for sleep has now been published by health experts. it calls for a national sleep strategy. the report says sleep is underappreciated and misunderstood. poor sleep, it says, has become normalised, with almost 70% of people with sleep issues yet to seek support. there's huge risks to people's physical and mental health, so we know that those that are sleeping poorly are taking more high—risk behaviours. so driving while sleepy, making poor choices around nutrition, around physical activity. dr sarah gilchrist has advised
7:18 am
top athletes on sleep. she backs a national sleep strategy. the uk loses about 40 billion a year due to sleep—related issues — whether that's people having accidents at work, or they're just getting bugs more often — their immune system's compromised because they're sleeping poorly. so where have things got to now, then? its backers say the sleep strategy should mean sleep advice becomes a key part of all health campaigns in england, with more training for gps, and treatment available in every nhs trust. there's potentially millions of people at risk of accidents at work, or car accidents and things. and if it's not diagnosed quickly, obviously those chances of something happening increases. tim muffett, bbc news. we will talk more about this now. people know either side of this story in a way. we'rejoined now byjason ellis, a professor of sleep science at northumbria university, and also byjenny benjamin — who's had insomnia for 30 years. welcome to you. i have had it

rather nicely, but here is the problem. take a look at that area of the field over there. quite a substantial amount of the field, they have not been able to grow any wheat because of the exceptionally heavy rain we have been having in recent weeks and months. it has made that part of the field waterlogged. if you think about the number of fields across the uk, multiply that across all of them, and you can start to see how the wet weather is hitting the amount and quality of wheat that can be sent off to mills like that want to be made into flour and ultimately the bread that you and ultimately the bread that you and i buy in the shops. later we will show you the process and the impact this is having on the price of your loaf of bread. as i fight the urge to go running through these fields of wheat. .. the urge to go running through these fields of wheat... ! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. with the mayoral election
7:29 am
less than a week away issues like safe roads, housing and accessible transport are a particular concern for the 1.4 million disabled londoners. as part of our focus on the issues that could impact the way people vote, we've been speaking to one campaigner who says there's a lot of work for the next mayor to do. when i have conversations with other disabled people and i mention that only 10% of homes — new—build homes — are supposed to be wheelchair accessible. wheelchair accessible, they laugh in my face and say that's a really low figure. but that figure isn't even being achieved. so i need the next mayor to really understand and really achieve these targets. and you can see a list of all 13 candidates vying to be the next mayor of london by scanning the qr code on your screen now. or you can head to our website bbc.co.uk/london. 32 patients have been impacted by three separate incidents at homerton hospital trust fertility centre which resulted in the loss of embryos,

7:31 am
there is some warmer weather in the forecast. now, that is for next week. as far as today is concerned, it is going to be a cool and a cloudy day in the capital. if you're just heading out this morning, it is a very fresh start to the day. a lot of cloud around. we will hold on to a lot of that cloud through the day, perhaps some brighter spells. light to moderate winds and highs of 13 celsius. so feeling similar to the last few days. dry, initially, tonight, but then we will see the next frontal system spreading northwards, bringing some fairly heavy pulses of rain through the early hours. so a soggy night tonight with lows of 5 celsius. tomorrow, we've got a day of some fairly hefty april showers. quite a brisk breeze, some sunny spells. for sunday, further outbreaks of rain and feeling cool. and it's into next week that, gradually, we'll begin to see temperatures rise as we draw in some warmer air from the near continent, but still the risk of some outbreaks of rain. goodbye. that's it — you can keep up to date

7:37 am
social care, really important. people are in hospital longer than they need to be because there are not the care workers. liberal democrats have said that we need to support families more so they can look after and loved ones and give them training, money, respite care so they can be looking after loved ones and they can be discharged more quickly and that would be better for them and theirfamilies quickly and that would be better for them and their families and free up beds. 50 them and their families and free up beds, , ., ., them and their families and free up beds. i. . , ., them and their families and free up beds. . , ., . beds. so you are pro care and will beds. so you are pro care and will be tackling _ beds. so you are pro care and will be tackling and _ beds. so you are pro care and will be tackling and hitting _ beds. so you are pro care and will be tackling and hitting businesses in the pocket. be tackling and hitting businesses in the pocket-— in the pocket. specific ones, big banks and _ in the pocket. specific ones, big banks and oil— in the pocket. specific ones, big banks and oil and _ in the pocket. specific ones, big banks and oil and gas _ in the pocket. specific ones, big i banks and oil and gas companies. in the pocket. specific ones, big - banks and oil and gas companies. if you look at their profits, any reasonable person would say they have done incredibly well. we think it fair, given the challenges in the health service and care, and we need to change and that comes at a price and we are setting out how we would pay for it. an and we are setting out how we would -a for it. �* . . and we are setting out how we would -a for it. . ,, . ., and we are setting out how we would -a forit. ,, .., , pay for it. an issue around carers, of interest —

7:39 am
the dwp, sometimes years later. what is staggering, the dwp can know if people have gone above the threshold, because they get information from hmrc. but they do not then act. so it has been dwp incompetence that led to this. other politicians have described it as cruel. is that a word you would use? you agree this practice is cruel? i would say that. if you look at the work patrick butler and his team have done at the guardian, who have exposed this, they have come out with heartbreaking stories about people working tirelessly to look after loved ones and care for them. they have earned money on the side and without intending, have gone over the threshold, by £1 a week, £2 a week, and then they lose the whole carer�*s a week, and then they lose the whole ca rer�*s allowance a week, and then they lose the whole carer�*s allowance and some are paying back £5,000 even though they
7:40 am
have little money. but that in contrast with some people who have evaded tax, the ppp scandal. remember that from the pandemic? when people were paid huge amounts of money and some of the loan is the government paid, people cheated on that and the government have given up that and the government have given up on chasing that. the that and the government have given up on chasing that.— that and the government have given up on chasing that. the word crawled -- the word — up on chasing that. the word crawled -- the word cruel— up on chasing that. the word crawled -- the word cruel implies _ —— the word cruel implies deliberate. -- the word cruel implies deliberate.— -- the word cruel implies deliberate. , ~' ., , . -- the word cruel implies deliberate. , ,, ., , . ., deliberate. they know they are doing an important — deliberate. they know they are doing an important job _ deliberate. they know they are doing an important job looking _ deliberate. they know they are doing an important job looking after- deliberate. they know they are doing an important job looking after lovedl an importantjob looking after loved ones. they are going after them. it is heartless. they know this threshold system is flawed and needs reform. this cliff edge thing where you go £1 over and lose everything, that has to change. the care system in this country is a significant thing. that is why i talked about the liberal democrats being the

7:44 am
it's theirs to lose now, as they're just a point behind leaders, arsenal, and still with a game in hand, after a comfortable win, at brighton. city were at their ruthless best with kevin de bruyne opening the scoring with this brilliant header early in the first half. phil foden then scored twice before half time — capitalising on some poor defending for his second. what a season he is having. so city up to second and have a game in hand over arsenal, but manager pep guardiola isn't taking anything for granted. what happened — liverpool two defeats in the last three games, it can happen to us. it can happen to us, so who knows? every game is a mystery, what happens. so the important thing is still we are there, so there's a lot of games to play, a lot. in rugby league, st helens staged a brilliant comeback to beat huddersfield giants 13—12 in a super league in the super league. saints trailed 12—nil early on, but completed the turnaround with this late drop goal

from captainjonny lomax. it puts them top of the table for now, but catalans dragons can return to the summit with a win at leigh leopards tonight. ronnie o'sullivan's bid for a record eighth world snooker championship title has started with easy fashion — into the second round in sheffield. the rocket wrapped up a comfortbale, ten frames to one victory, against the welshmanjackson page, to secure his place in the last sixteen at the crucible. o'sullivan is also aiming to complete snooker�*s triple crown in a single season, following his wins at the uk championship, and the masters. at 17 years old, luke littler has sealed his place at finals night of the premier league of darts, after winning night 13 in liverpool. but he was booed by the crowd at one point. just a bit of football banter, as the manchester united fan had some fun with crowd, reminding them of the score from wednesday's merseyside derby. cheeky. littler was still smiling come the end of the evening, beating rob cross 6—2, as he now eyes top spot in the table.
7:46 am
golf now, and england's rosie davies ended the first round of the south african women's open with a share of the lead on the ladies european tour. davies finished the round on 6—under par, along with switzerland's elena moosmann. davies hit eight birdies, but missed the chance for a ninth on the final hole here and that would have taken her clear. her compatriot, bronte law, finished the day two shots behind, on four—under par. now while there in south africa, its baboons you have to look out for, over in new orleans, its alligators who often hold up play. this one wasn't in any rush. at the 17th. we shouldn't be surprised. golf courses provide suitable habitat and resources for alligators, including ponds and lakes with shallow water for basking. nice entry into the water. i would rather have alligators holding up play than cheeky baboons like in south africa where they have monitors to try to stop them pinching the golf balls. that is a

7:50 am
personal items ever recovered from the disaster are coming to auction — a bag and a watch belonging to two people whose stories have become fables from that fateful night. stories have become fables and you're in the club... stories have become fables the james cameron movie titanic... stories have become fables hey, esther! stories have become fables ..depicts both men. stories have become fables well, hello, molly. - stories have become fables jothacob astor — the wealthiest man on board, and one of the richest in the world. and wallace hartley — the violin player who bravely led the orchestra to calm passengers' nerves as the vessel floundered. each man central to the film's narrative of bravery and loss. in real life, both hartley and astor died that night — their bodies and their possessions recovered in the aftermath. you've got the bag and the watch? correct. andrew aldridge — a world expert on the titanic — says hartley probably tried to use his violin case
7:51 am
and its straps as a flotation device, but it came to nothing. whilst jj astor's11t—carat—gold pocket watch was discovered amongst his personal effects in the days after the tragedy. why is there this continuing public obsession, interest in all things to do with the titanic? i honestly think it's to do with the people. she transcends so many different levels. we are fascinated in her because of who was on board. you could argue that titanic is the most famous ship that's ever sailed apart — from the ark. so what might they fetch at the auction? well, the estimated price on the bag is £120,000, and for the watch, it's £150,000 — and just shows the continued interest there is in all things titanic. wallace hartley's violin itself was sold separately in 2013 for £1 million. it's now on display at the titanic museum in belfast.
7:52 am
tomorrow's auction, streamed live, will attract bidders from around the world, ready to spend as they save these unique items from a ship enshrined in maritime folklore. duncan kennedy, bbc news. titanic exhibitor tom rudderham joins us now. morning. i caught a glimpse of you and ijust saw morning. i caught a glimpse of you and i just saw these things behind you. i also notice you had gloves on. excellent. it popped in my head you might be able to pick somethings up you might be able to pick somethings up and us them. you have some things that are priceless there. irate up and us them. you have some things that are priceless there.— that are priceless there. we have. as ou that are priceless there. we have. as you heard. _ that are priceless there. we have. as you heard, the _ that are priceless there. we have. as you heard, the bodies - that are priceless there. we have. as you heard, the bodies of - that are priceless there. we have. as you heard, the bodies ofjohn l as you heard, the bodies ofjohn jacob astor and the violin player were recovered from the sea two

weeks after the disaster and their bodies were picked up by recovery vessel said to find the victims and at the same time, they would collect any wreckage, anything floating on the surface to use evidence. and a lot of it ended up in display in museums including canada. we are the current custodians of these artefacts and i have a few here. perhaps the most surprising is instead of legs from a deckchair, they will probably fill the screen, very delicate. very rusty and damaged. but perhaps my favourite is what we believe to be the largest piece of the grand staircase. this gives an idea of what the ship looked like in its prime. this was found floating in the sea. it looked like in its prime. this was found floating in the sea.- found floating in the sea. it also aives an found floating in the sea. it also gives an idea — found floating in the sea. it also gives an idea of— found floating in the sea. it also gives an idea of how _ found floating in the sea. it also gives an idea of how ornate - found floating in the sea. it also gives an idea of how ornate it i found floating in the sea. it also i gives an idea of how ornate it was. we talk about how the titanic crashed into an iceberg. it was such

8:01 am
away. staying cold but will it get anyone? yourforecast away. staying cold but will it get anyone? your forecast later. it's friday 26th april. skin—cancer patients in the uk have begun taking part in a trial aimed at developing the first personalised vaccine for melanoma. the experimental treatment uses the same technology as some covid jabs, and works by telling the body to target cancer cells and prevent them from coming back. researchers say the jab also has the potential to stop lung, bladder, and kidney cancers. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. steve young, one of the first nhs patients to take part in the trial for what's hoped will be a game—changing treatment. it's for melanoma — the deadliest of all the skin cancers — and it aims to help those at the highest risk of a recurrence. steve was given the experimental treatment at university college hospital in london. he had a melanoma removed from his scalp last summer.
8:02 am
he told us the trial is his best chance of keeping cancer—free. i feel... ok, someone told me i've got survivor syndrome because i actually feel guilty — i feel guilty that i'm completely fine and yet i'm getting all this attention and i'm... you know, i get to have a scan and an mri every three months when i know that people are waiting such a long time. and i... i genuinely feel kind of awful about that. but... ijust really hope that what's happening with the trial and the results they get are going to be good news, and it's going to go on to do amazing things. the personalised treatment works by identifying proteins unique to each person's cancer, and then uses the same technology which created some covid vaccines — called mrna — to prime the immune system to attack the cells. it's being used in combination with another cancer drug, and previous results suggest
8:03 am
together it almost halved the risk of recurrence or death after three years. it's a very specific treatment, highly personalised to each individual's tumour, and it's a really exciting way of hopefully turning the patient's own immune system against their cancer. and it looks like it could be a really effective therapeutic approach. this trial will really prove that's the case or not. this is an international trial. uk doctors are hoping to recruit at least 70 patients across centres including london, manchester, edinburgh and leeds. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. naga, all eyes on scotland are looking ahead to next week. this is after a big split between two micro—parties, the snp and the green party. —— between two parties.
8:04 am
humza yousaf�*s future as scotland's first minister is hanging in the balance as he faces a no—confidence vote. it is likely to happen next week, and was called after he ended a power—sharing deal between the snp and the scottish greens. our scotland political correspondent david henderson has the story. the bute house agreement lasted less than 1,000 days, but it brought green ministers into government for the first time anywhere in the uk — and with them came a raft of green policies. so what do voters think now they're gone? i think it's sad because i think the greens are a good influence on the snp, but i guess we've had a minority government before, so i guess it's going to happen again. yeah, like, ivote green most of the time. but, yeah, it hasn't been brilliant. for months, this power—sharing deal was under pressure, with key plans like the deposit return scheme stalled, then ditched. chanting: trans rights! the final straw — a row over the pause on the prescription of puberty blockers for under—18s, and the scrapping of climate targets.
8:05 am
so now the deal�*s collapsed, there's pressure on humza yousaf to change direction. but the balance of power at holyrood means it's not that simple. with the greens backing that no—confidence vote, the alba party's sole msp is crucial. well, luckily for humza, he's put the decision—making power of the parliament effectively into the hands of one of the brightest and best and most responsible msps in the parliament, which is ash regan of the alba party. she's one of the few adults in the room. so he has the opportunity to try and secure her vote, but he'll have to work at it. and what now for the greens? they're out of office, but not — they think — out of power. wherever we are in the parliament, i we will fight for our principles, i and whereverwe are, we canwin~ _ you know, one of our flagship policies — i free bus travel for under—22s — was a victory that we won i from the scottish government before we entered government _
8:06 am
for the first time. so we can win in government, l we can win out of government. so the scene's set for days of horse trading, then a knife—edge vote to decide what follows this power—sharing deal. david henderson, bbc news, holyrood. several actors have expressed their anger — afterjudges in new york overturned a rape conviction against the former hollywood producer harvey weinstein. the court said he'd been treated unfairly and ordered a new trial. he will remain in prison after also being found guilty of rape in california. the american actor ashleyjudd who's accused weinstein of sexual harassment, described the decision as an act of "institutional betrayal". i walk in solidarity with all survivors of male sexual violence. and on this day, especially those who litigated this case against harvey weinstein in the state of new york. it's a hard day for survivors, but we live in our truth, we know what happened, and the truth is consistent. a 13—year—old girl will appear in court today,
8:07 am
charged with three counts of attempted murder after two teachers and a pupil were stabbed at a school in ammanford on wednesday. teachers and staff will prepare the building for students to return to school on monday. british universities have been warned that they're being targeted by foreign states in order to undermine uk national security. senior figures from institutions including oxford, cambridge and imperial college london have been briefed by m15 on the threat to some of their sensitive research. home office minister chris philp has been criticised after appearing on question time and asking an audience member whether rwanda, where the uk plans to send some asylum seekers, is a separate country to the democratic republic of congo. we're joined now by our political correspondent, nick eardley. good morning. ithink good morning. i think you good morning. ithink you need good morning. i think you need to

8:09 am
from goma, on a crossing, right now, would they then be sent back to the country that they're supposedly warring, rwanda? does that make any sense to you? no, i think there's i an exclusion on people from rwanda being sent to... they're not from rwanda, they're from congo! laughter. they're from congo. they're supposedly warring these people from rwanda. are they then going to be sent to rwanda if they came here on a crossing? from... from congo, yeah. would people be sent from... well, i mean, rwanda is a different country of congo, isn't it? - it's a different country. yes. it is. yes. definitely. laughter. he's saying, if they come from a war zone in congo, would they then be sent to rwanda? he is so where is street after the programme and that of rwanda as though to make the obvious point that congo and rwanda are different countries. i should that congo and rwanda are different countries. ishould point that congo and rwanda are different countries. i should point out that chris philp said later in the answer that there is a clause for people who might suffer serious irreversible harm not to be sent to
8:10 am
rwanda. an ally of chris philp has also said that in that clip he was asking a rhetorical question to make it clear what the question was. but the government has had a pretty good week when it comes to trying to push its rwanda policy through. this will not be the sort of thing they want people talking about. i think i get that! thanks, nick. the former senior post office executive angela van den bogerd will give evidence again today at the inquiry into the horizon it scandal. she had dealt with many of the legal cases against branch managers, and said she was "truly sorry" for the "devastation caused". our correspondent azadeh moshiri is outside the inquiry in london. there has been so much interest in this inquiry. every day has thrown up this inquiry. every day has thrown up interesting comments and interesting characters and there is a second date now for this lady.
8:11 am
there is. her career at the post office spanned three decades and she was personally involved in handling a lot of the complaints from former sub—postmasters about the horizon id system and she was heavily involved in the mediation scheme that failed. the inquiry will need more than one day to get to the bottom of what she knew and when. we expect more testy exchanges. yesterday we had a lot of "i don't recall"s. so much that the council seemed exasperated at times. we are likely to hear much more about disclosure issues, what she knew about the problems with the horizon it system, the idea that fujitsu could access those branch accounts, without sub—postmasters even knowing, and crucially what she told mps, the high court, the supposed that its themselves and whether those statements were true. today we will also hear from the

8:13 am
warming up but it has been a cold night. nervous night for those out planting in the guidance recently. temperatures as low as —6 in parts of cumbria overnight and a widespread frost from parts of north wales, midlands and east anglia northwoods. not the same story everywhere. if you have the cloud you properly had showers. north and east of scotland, northern ireland, damp conditions in south wales and southern counties of england. that ring will come and go across the southern areas throughout, getting wet it to the west of the channel islands later. elsewhere, if you missed out the sunshine, don't drop your cloud demo guide, cloud on the horizon, a few showers here and there and with the showers in the cloud blotting out the sun, another chilly day. with that comes the chance that some of those showers will be wintry because higher ground of scotland. this is the rush hour, it's still quite a few heavy showers across england areas of central and northern scotland, southern scotland, northern ireland, northern england, a few showers. you may be on the move to something drier and
8:14 am
are fine into the day for some. cloudier the further south we are and toward south wales, south—west england, the channel islands will see the wetted conditions to end the day. that wet weather becomes more extensive, southern parts of england and south wales tonight. good news here if you have been planting, it will not be a cold night compared to what we will see from northern england northwoods. a widespread frost to take us into saturday morning. a chilly start to the weekend across northern areas, this is where the best of the sunshine will be. this weekend the best of the weather, west of scotland, northern ireland, slowly seen temperatures creep up and then some stronger winds but for england and wales some rain around. certainly at the moment it looks like sunday will see the more extensive heavy rain across parts of central and eastern england and eastern parts of wales. some western areas will stay dry stop mild it next week. you some western areas will stay dry stop mild it next week.— stop mild it next week. you say that... laughter i promise, milder. laughter i romise, milder. , laughter iromise, milder. , , i promise, milder. did you 'ust

8:16 am
literally, 15 minutes further down the road, just complete darkness. i screamed "grant" and looked up briefly and everyone was just stood around me crying. and i thought, this can't happen — like, this can't happen. grant is here today because of the quick—thinking of his friends who started cpr and ran to find a defibrillator, but also because of two guardian angels. as he stopped breathing, a lady came past and threw her bike down and it turns out she was a doctor. miracle of miracles. and then, as if by magic, another one appears and starts to help with the cpr. it was just amazing. someone was looking down on us that day, definitely, definitely. i was dead and i was lucky. you want to know who these doctors are, don't you? -
8:17 am
i'd love to find out. so tell me your full name. mel hamilton. |do you want tojust, i don't know, j start and look down — the camera. over there is camera one. you see the number underneath it? i have got scubs, by the way, but i thought i'd just, just casually — i've never done anything like this before. if it was one of you, then please come forward and get in touch because, you know, i'm indebted to the pair of you. and so, by the magic of bbc breakfast... do you want to meet him? yes, definitely. i'd be honoured to meet him. shall we meet them? let's go see them. let's do it, let's do it. let's go see them. when he went into the ambulance, were you certain that he would be ok? i was definitely not certain, no, absolutely not. - he was... he was dead. it was quite an emotional thing. i mean, i cycle past there most days, so i've almost been hoping i'd see somebody or i'd hear something. are you ready to meet a couple of people? yeah. but then you saw the news on the bbc.
8:18 am
then we saw the news. joe and mel. nice to meet you. oh, my god. how are you doing? great to see you. and you. honestly, probably the most emotional i could be. aw, i know. it's so nice to see you and see you doing well. i cried, actually, because it was just nice to finally have an answer on what had happened, and just really nice that he reached out to want to find us. i didn't know if he'd want to. there are more than 30,000 out—of—hospital cardiac arrests in the uk every year. less than one in ten survive. there's so many questions i feel i'd like to ask, you know, like, what was you doing at that time, and how lucky was you? honestly. honest to god. i was in there. i was in the barbers across the road when it all happened and then- you went off in the ambulance. it's been playing - on my mind every day. aw. i thought about you. aw. so when you saw that television clip... overthe moon, delighted, surreal. it was... it was an immense feeling.
8:19 am
itjust makes you... i think makes you realise that there's so many nice people out there. did he tell you that you broke three of his ribs? no, but... sorry about that! mate, do you know what? i'll take that all day long. i got the chance to be, you know, a father, a son, and a brother again. so that's invaluable. early cpr and defibrillation can more than double a person's chances of survival. their actions brought grant back to life, and kept him going until medics from the liverpool heart and chest hospital could operate. chatter. it was a big operation, wasn't it? yeah, if i was going to put it down the scale of one to ten,
8:20 am
it's definitely a ten mark, yeah. there's some other people that want to come and say hi and see you looking well. it's like this is your life, isn't it? just waiting for the red book! how are you? are you 0k? yeah. nice to see you. you're looking very well. thank you. this is the surgical team who performed a quadruple bypass on grant — a five—and—a—half—hour operation which ultimately saved his life. are you 0k? thank you so much. you're welcome. how you doing? it is a very stressful operation. you can imagine all the steps we do, how many people are involved, - and there is no room for error. he looks great, doesn't he? he does, yeah. i think i'll always be indebted to everybody in here, without a shadow of a doubt. you're meant to be here, aren't you? i'm meant to have another go, definitely, which i'm going to take advantage of. fate meant everyone here was there for grant, and grant is still here today.
8:21 am
i've never been a big believer in people when they say, you know, it's not your time, but i clearly get that now. you had a couple of angels on your shoulder that day. yeah, definitely, definitely. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. you commented earlier about what a great hugger... yellow there was a lot of hugging. it is happenstance, a doctor in a barbie�*s over the road, sees what happening. obviously all doctors either to save lives and they come out —— a doctor in a barber's. it was lovely he came to sit on the sofa and he could appeal and they were watching. we sit on the sofa and he could appeal and they were watching.— and they were watching. we didn't know at the _ and they were watching. we didn't know at the time _ and they were watching. we didn't know at the time and _ and they were watching. we didn't know at the time and he _ and they were watching. we didn't know at the time and he himself l know at the time and he himself didn't know, those two doctors may well have not wanted to come forward for whatever reason. but to and

8:23 am
grains going in there and being milled at the start of the process. this mill in oxfordshire, they send out 30,000 bags of flour every single day. of course in order to do that they need the wheat coming in and they need it to be good enough quality for it to make it into the banks of flour that make bread. anything not good enough go is to be made into animalfeed —— bags of flour. you need grain and the problem is we had a bit too much rain. farmers have the wettest august to february period for almost 200 years. that has hit the quality and the amount of wheat that they can grow. by the end of the summer they expect the yield to be 40% lower than last year. the wheat harvested already, only about a
8:24 am
third of that is deemed good enough quality to be made into flour can be used to make bread. as a result we will probably have to import wheat from abroad, from canada and germany probably. all of that has pushed up the price that you and i pay for bread in the shops. average price of a slice of white loaf is now £1.39, up a slice of white loaf is now £1.39, up 22% in the last two years. it is all about making these rather tasty looking flour products, bread and pastries, a lovely looking breakfast basket. let's speak to the owner of the bakery responsible for this basket that has been very kindly brought in. a bit quieter in the control room. we have got sian and bertie. sian, this looks all very nice but you need wheat in order to make it. .,, ,., ., make it. the most important thing for any bakery _ make it. the most important thing for any bakery is — make it. the most important thing

8:30 am
of work for the next mayor to do. when i have conversations with other disabled people and i mention that only 10% of homes — new—build homes — are supposed to be wheelchair accessible, they laugh in my face and say that's a really low figure. but that figure isn't even being achieved. so i need the next mayor to really understand and really achieve these targets. and you can see a list of all 13 candidates vying to be the next mayor of london by scanning the qr code on your screen now. or you can head to our website bbc.co.uk/london 32 patients have been impacted by three separate incidents at homerton hospital trust fertility centre, which resulted in the loss of embryos, the hospital trust has confirmed. in march, the centre had its licence suspended until may following the incidents, all of which occurred within the past year. the bbc understands that as many as 150 embryos could have been affected.
8:31 am
owners of some suvs in north london have said their car tyres were deflated by an environmental group which left leafelts on the vehicles. one resident said she had been trying to get to her mother in end of life care when she discovered all four tyres had been deflated. the activist group tyre extinguishers has been known to target cars in london for a number of years. let's take a look at the tubes now — it is pretty busy. district line — severe delays. hammersmith and city line has no service between liverpool street and barking and there are minor delays on the northern line. and elsewhere. as we draw towards the end of april, there is some warmer weather in the forecast. now, that is for next week. as far as today is concerned, it is going to be a cool and a cloudy day in the capital.
8:32 am
if you're just heading out this morning, it is a very fresh start to the day. a lot of cloud around. we will hold on to a lot of that cloud through the day, perhaps some brighter spells. light to moderate winds and highs of 13 celsius. so feeling similar to the last few days. dry, initially, tonight, but then we will see the next frontal system spreading northwards, bringing some fairly heavy pulses of rain through the early hours. so a soggy night tonight with lows of 5 celsius. tomorrow, we've got a day of some fairly hefty april showers. quite a brisk breeze, some sunny spells. for sunday, further outbreaks of rain and feeling cool. and it's into next week that, gradually, we'll begin to see temperatures rise as we draw in some warmer air from the near continent, but still the risk of some outbreaks of rain. goodbye. that's it. news on our website or by downloading the bbc news app. we're back in half an hour.
8:33 am
hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. ahead of the 80th anniversary of d—day, school children in london are preparing to take part in a history lesson like no other. they've been given the chance to speak to veterans about what it was really like on the beaches of normandy. breakfast�*sjohn maguire is at the unionjack club in central london. i know you have had the honour of talking to some veterans in the past. what an amazing opportunity for younger people to share that experience first hand. nothing like a question from a child, either, to cut to the truth of the situation. we will show you that in a couple of minutes as these schoolchildren meet five normandy veterans. i wanted to start by showing you the victoria cross wall which carries the names of all of
8:34 am
the service men who have received the service men who have received the victoria cross since its inception up until recent times and the iraqi and afghanistan war. on d—day, one given to stan harliss in the green howards back in d—day, one given to stan harliss in the green howards backin1941i. what we are about to discuss is a living history as veterans meet the children and get their chance to tell the children about their experiences. it is something that means so much to them. for many of those who fought over and across these beaches in northern france 80 years ago, the chance to tell their story not in the name of war but to promote peace is an opportunity they take whenever they can. the british normandy memorial above what was codenamed gold beach carries the names of the 22,41i2 under british command who died securing the coastline and fighting towards the liberation of paris.
8:35 am
but now, the site is about to embark on a new phase, with the opening this summer of an education centre, as nicholas witchell, a trustee, explained to me last week. phase one was the memorial, phase two has always been the education centre. education is so important. it was always a priority for the veterans. we've got to get the message through to younger generations to remember and to understand. so over there is the winston churchill centre for education. it will be ready for the 6th ofjune for its official opening. the ages of the fallen, immortalised in stone here, tell the story of how so many died so young. there were teenagers serving on d—day, so any veterans are today well into their 90s, if not older. but the few are becoming fewer. just this week, bill gladden, who we filmed injanuary celebrating his 100th birthday,
8:36 am
has sadly died. he will be sorely missed this summer. like the other normandy veterans, he was someone who gave so much 80 years ago and who believed in sharing now, helping people to understand the sacrifices his comrades and friends made and hoping future generations will never be asked to do the same. iam sure i am sure the gentleman will not mind saying we have almost 500 years of living history gathered here at the unionjack club to answer questions from the children from kingsford school in east london. ken, why is it so important to meet the younger generation and interact with them and take questions? because they can learn so much in books, but we are part of that
8:37 am
living, but we are a dying breed, so it is an opportunity when they cannot ask the book a question they cannot ask the book a question they can ask us and we will do our best to answer them. i go round speaking to answer them. i go round speaking to schools. they sit and listen. when you are deluged with questions you know how interested they are and thatis you know how interested they are and that is what we are here for. taste that is what we are here for. we will ut that is what we are here for. we will put that _ that is what we are here for. we will put that to the test. who has a question? i will put that to the test. who has a cuestion? ., ~' ., will put that to the test. who has a cuestion? ., ~ ., ., ,~' ., question? i would like to ask what life was like _ question? i would like to ask what life was like inside _ question? i would like to ask what life was like inside a _ question? i would like to ask what life was like inside a tank. - question? i would like to ask what life was like inside a tank. i - question? i would like to ask what life was like inside a tank. i thinkl life was like inside a tank. i think that might _ life was like inside a tank. i think that might be — life was like inside a tank. i think that might be a _ life was like inside a tank. i think that might be a good _ life was like inside a tank. i think that might be a good one - life was like inside a tank. i think that might be a good one for- life was like inside a tank. i think| that might be a good one for you, richard. , ., ., ~ ., richard. inside a tank, one thing... there is not — richard. inside a tank, one thing... there is not very _ richard. inside a tank, one thing... there is not very much _ richard. inside a tank, one thing... there is not very much room. - richard. inside a tank, one thing... there is not very much room. in . there is not very much room. in fact, it is a bit crowded and quite smelly. it is amazing. it is a cross between bodies and bully beef and biscuits. and what can i say? the

8:44 am

surprise you, let's look at what has been happening this april. it has been happening this april. it has been cold recently with widespread frost this morning but daytime temperatures are above average for most of the uk. as much as two degrees in in east anglia and kent. but the knights, an absence of frost until now. 1—2 above normal. the difference is when you do not have sunshine, and it has been dull compared to normal, and wetter, it helps to add to the chill. anything warmer on the way? i will give you optimism. through the weekend, we shift wind direction. warmer colours in europe. bringing in a south easterly wind next week and temperatures will rise. capital city for car show temperatures in the mid to high teens. but there will still be rain and gusty wind. now, a cold start this morning. many have
8:48 am
sunshine but already showers around atmore throughout the day. some of the damp conditions around the english channel and south—west and south wales. cloudy here. north of that, sunshine to start. we will see showers develop, slow moving. some gaps between which means some will stay dry, but cold enough for showers in scotland to fall as snow on higher ground. wherever you are, temperatures down on where you want. overnight, cloud and rain thickens up overnight, cloud and rain thickens up in the south. a wet night. south wales, rain spreading to the midlands. scotland and northern ireland, showers will fade. gardner's beware, another widespread frost tomorrow. saturday, rain, spreading northwards across the southern half of england and wales. bright start in northern england,

scotland and northern ireland. the best of the weather in scotland and northern ireland if you escape the showers. a lot of rain in parts of england northern ireland if you escape the showers. a lot of rain in parts of england and northern ireland if you escape the showers. a lot of rain in parts of england and wales. it will get better and then it will get worse and then it will get better. that is the weather. gymnast amy tinkler became an olympic bronze medalist at rio 2016. she was just 16 years old at the time, but following an ankle injury and concerns over her welfare, she announced her retirement in 2020. this weekend, amy will be back on the international stage at the world cheerleading championships in florida. nick hope reports. ijust love the whole environment. it's obviously very different. i'm very much used to being on the floor on my own and now i'm on the floor with 18 other people. so for me, it was just sort of an exciting new adventure and something new to try.
8:50 am
it's special because it means more when you're doing it with the team, as well. as with much of her gymnastics career, amy tinkler has landed firmly back on her feet — now as a cheerleader — but it has been quite a journey from her remarkable rise at the rio olympics. the olympics is an incredible experience. obviously going there a 16—year—old, no pressure, no expectations, and to come away with a bronze medal was really, really special. and even now, obviously, i've had my medal out tonight and people are looking at it and they're shocked by it. and it still feels really special that i can hold that and say, "that is mine." that story of success soon became one of struggle, though. when i got my injury, that was a really hard period for me. it was a year and a half ofjust being in the darkness, really, cos surgeons didn't know what was going on, doctors didn't, and that was a really tough time for me. amy tinkler says she made a formal complaint to british gymnastics last december about her experiences as a gymnast. it comes amid widespread allegations of abuse

within the sport in britain. now we're in an era where uk sport want to, they say, win well — how proud are you of the difference you've made, empowering athletes to speak out when they're not happy? i'm proud of every athlete that's felt strong enough to speak up, whatever sport they're in. it was very old—school, and sports are just changing so much for the better. and the fact that people are acknowledging that because of the people that have spoken up is really heart—warming. it's clear to see and hear why amy is in a much happier place now compared to a few years ago, given the energy and passion you feel when you're this close to a cheerleading competition. but although it's a very different atmosphere and setting to her former one in professional gymnastics, she still has similar ambitions. i've always had that sort of determination and drive to want to better myself constantly — whether that's been in school, in gymnastics, in cheer. i want to be the best version of me. and i got told that i would probably never do gymnastics again. and for me to be representing my team this year, to be
8:52 am
at a world championships — i am so proud of myself for how far i've come. amazing athleticism. a warning. whatever you are having for breakfast, probably not insect based. but according to scientists, that could change in the future. studies are showing that bugs are a great source of protein and good for the planet. currently, the food standards agency has approved four edible insects — yellow mealworm, black soldier fly and two types of cricket — house crickets and handed crickets. crickets can contain up to 70% protein — that's almost three times more than beef, pork or chicken. compared to livestock, rearing them has a lower environmental impact. now researchers at the university of surrey are looking for volunteers to help them assess if crickets really can meet our dietary needs.
8:53 am
our reporter sean killick has been to find out more. in some parts of the world, they're quite popular to eat. but, funnily, they've never caught on here — which is a shame, because insects are a good source of protein. so people have begun to farm them. typically, they're frozen, boiled, dried, and turned into an insect—based flour, which can be added to foods such as pasta, bread or cakes. now, at the university of surrey, they're going to test volunteers who've eaten muffins made with powdered crickets to check the nutritional intake of what they say is a more environmentally friendly food source. but is the question less one that's environmental or nutritional, and maybe more cultural? people are reluctant to eat something with six legs and antennae, so that was one of the reasons why we made our muffin. if i wouldn't tell you it has insects in it, you wouldn't know, so that might help people get over reluctance to try it.
8:54 am
because when they then try it and go, "this actually tastes quite good." but do people on the streets of guildford find the idea of edible insects palatable? i don't really like the sound of that, to be fair. i think it is good. it'sjust something i've never done. but, yeah, i mean... maybe if i wasn't quite _ so squeamish, i would try some. i don't think you should eat insects, it might be bad for you. might kill you. no way! sorry! it seems not everyone's bowled over by the idea of these cricket teas. sean killick, bbc news, guildford. we're joined now by dr ralph manders from the university of surrey, who's leading the study. hello. you have brought some stuff which i want to highlight first of all, so thank you. and thank you for bringing muffins. and this protein powder is worth talking about. that
