1:45 pm
you were close. the two of you were very close. very close. yeah, very close. i miss him a lot. every day, as soon as i walk out through my bedroom door, i see his bedroom door, and then it all hits me. so... but each day is a struggle. but i've got to do something. that people don't tell, don't report or don't phone the police. leanne now wants to make bleed kit training compulsory in secondary schools. and tonight they've brought the session to the football club, where max used to play. i've had multiple run—ins with knife crime as my mate's been mugged at knife point. and, obviously, we had the tragic events of max mason. i had another knife—related incident with being threatened with one. so i found it very sensitive myself. it taught me, like, the consequences. instead of piping down and just keeping humble, you've got to... sometimes you've got to be brave enough to speak up and just tell someone about it. didn't know, like, a stabbing looked like that. and it like... i don't know. itjust made me feel a bit weird. you need to know when to speak up and when to not really.
1:46 pm
but stuff like knife crime, you really do need to speak up because it could end up getting someone killed. but they aren't just focusing on bristol. leanne and her best friend carly have been to westminster to try to persuade the politicians. and he said it could be something that could be added to the already first aid and stuff that's already on the curriculum. so, for me and leanne, that was a really positive response because it wasn't a "no", it was a "this could possibly be done". this is where we've left all his stuff. oh, wow! it brings me comfort because i feel like he's here. i don't want to take it down. no. i'd be sat down watching telly and he'd be sat on my lap, literally on my lap, and i'd be like, max, you're six foot two. i should be sat on your lap, not the other way around. but i miss that. max should have been starting his gcses this week. it was just upsetting. i wish i wasn't sat here doing this, to be honest. yeah, but i just... i would like max to be remembered in a good way.
1:47 pm
and that's all i can ask for. like, these bleed kits are really important and we need them to be educated on them. we need for them to be confident enough to use them. what would he say about it? i think he would be very proud of me. very proud, just like i was of him. fiona lamdin, bbc news. an advert promoting apple's new range of ipads has received widespread criticism. the video shows a giant hydraulic press crushing books and musical instruments. the actor hugh grant accused the firm of destroying the human experience. for more on why it has sparked such a backlash, here's the bbc�*s north america business correspondent michelle fleury. the ad has only been out a couple of days butjudging by the reaction online, it's hit a nerve. in the spot, objects ranging from a trumpet, a piano, to a turntable,
1:48 pm
a sculpted bust and lots and lots of paint are all shown being squashed by an enormous metal rubbish compactor into the size of apple's thinnest product ever, the 13—inch ipad pro. now, critics say the ad celebrates the stifling of creativity rather than encouraging it. even british actor hugh grant weighed in on the social media platform x, labelling it "the destruction of the human experience. courtesy of silicon valley." actor and film—maker justine bateman, a vocal critic of the use of ai in the film industry, said apple's ad was "crushing the arts". while songwriter crispin hunt called the act of destroying musical instruments evocative of burning books. the criticism is particularly pointed because of concerns, especially in creative industries,
1:49 pm
about artificial intelligence taking people's jobs. now, it's a rare misstep by the company, which was behind a famous super bowl advert for its macintosh computers that was directed by ridley scott. it featured a dystopian world where conformity dominated and a single individual representing the apple brand, at the time its new macintosh computers, was seen as resisting. the ad today, well, that conveys the opposite message according to its critics, which is why it's getting crushed by creatives and consumers. the prince of wales has made his first visit to the isles of scilly since becoming the duke of cornwall. he travelled to the main harbour on st mary's island, which is run by the duchy of cornwall, and is a vital part of the island's fishing and tourist industry. he also told locals that the princess of wales was doing well. our correspondentjenny
1:50 pm
kumah, who is following the visit, has more. the sun is shining here and he got a very warm welcome here. he hasjust left this community hospital here on the isles of scilly. he was asked by one member of staff how princess kate was doing, who recently announced she was undergoing cancer treatment. the response was that she was doing really well. there was also a member of staff here who has served 50 years working for the nhs. that member of staff gave him a letter that had been written by her granddaughter. that letter basically wished the king and princess kate well. many people i have spoken to here today who have met the prince says it was a real honour to meet him. he showed great interest in the issues and challenges facing providing health care in this remote
1:51 pm
island. these islands are a group of islands, around 28 miles off the coast of cornwall. while there are some services here, people have to travel to the mainland by plane or boat to access services at the main hospital and there can be some challenges around finding accommodation which can be difficult and expensive sometimes. today, at this building, there is a site where the duchy of cornwall, which is the estate owned by the duke of cornwall, as he is known, the prince of wales, when he is here, he has given some land for some facilities to be built here that will provide integrated health and social care. in patient beds, a maternity suite and residential care beds. so there was a lot of conversation here about working in the settings here, but everyone i spoke to today has said it was a real honour to the prince.
1:52 pm
jenny kumah. it was the year of the d—day landings. in 1944, winston churchill was prime minister and the end of the war was in sight. to commemorate the era, 80 years on a home kitted—out with period furnishings has been created at the national memorial arboretum. some those who lived during world war ii have contributed to it. our reporter giles latcham has been taking a look. take a step back in time to 1944, somewhere on the home front. a letter to a loved one serving overseas, the washing drying in front of the fire. these artefacts and furniture were put together by linda, who included a wartime picture of her newborn sister, her mum, and her dad home from the army. it's been a joy to recreate it all. they have always been in the background. dad loved gardening so there is a garden out there as well, that represents him too. this story is about the people who were left at home, really, and how they continued throughout the conflict. as well as all the ambience
1:53 pm
and the sights of 1944, there are the sounds too, and those include the bbc. this is the bbc home service. d—day has come. this is it, they're on the beach. injunei91i4, came the long—awaited allied invasion of nazi—occupied europe. in september, there was the airborne assault on arnhem in the netherlands. at home, the germans�* long range v2 rockets struck terror into civilian hearts. i was 18 years old, i was working in a munitions factory. but life went on. grace got married in 1944. now aged 98, she remembers her wedding reception as if it were yesterday. ifell over and they said i was drunk, and i wasn't, i'd had nothing to eat, and i'd tripped over. are you sure? oh, yeah! very authentic.
1:54 pm
my grandmother's house looked very much like this, mum's mum's house. much like this, mum's house. so, yeah, it's really lovely. this is an opportunity for them to step back into life in 1944, to really set the scene and give that context. we know that people were all around the world serving and sacrificing their lives for us but actually there was lots of things happening at home as well. i had a fur coat instead of an engagement ring. on d—day, margaret was in the women's auxiliary air force on duty on the south coast. i'm glad i did it. you know, i can remember it almost in detail, i think. something i would not have missed for the world. although it was a war. it is a window into times long gone, but one that's full of the very real fears and hopes of those that lived through them. giles latcham, bbc news. some celeb news to end our bulletin and justin bieber has announced
1:55 pm
he is going to be a father. he and his wife, the model hayley bieber, are expecting their first child. the couple tied the knot in a secret ceremony in new york in 2018. followers of the couple's separate social media accounts were also treated to a video that apparently shows them renewing their vows at an open—air ceremony. the instagram post comes weeks after the couple were spotted in hawaii, sparking online speculation that she might be expecting a baby. turns out it was all right. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. hello. for most of us, it feels more like summer than spring out there today. another very warm one across large swathes of the uk. the weekend will be very warm, as well. dry for most on saturday, but things are set to change on sunday with the increasing chance of some heavy thundery showers. you can see weather systems waiting in the wings out in the atlantic, but, for the time being they are being fended off by this area of high pressure.
1:56 pm
we do have a bit more in the way of cloud across the north of scotland. the odd spot of rain here. also, this area of low cloud and mistiness rolling on to some of these eastern coasts of east anglia and the south—east of england. elsewhere, good spells of sunshine, highs of 2a, maybe 25 degrees. through this evening and tonight, this area of cloud will roll its way in off the north sea into parts of eastern england, perhaps getting into the midlands, as well. also some areas of low cloud just rolling across the north—west of scotland, maybe affecting shetland. most places seeing clear skies and hence some sunshine to start saturday morning. temperatures not dropping too far at all. for saturday, this area of cloud will tend to roll back towards north sea coasts. for most, it's going to be fine with some sunshine, but we do have the chance for some showers to pop up. they should be quite well scattered, but across some parts of scotland, especially over high ground, we could see the odd heavy thundery downpour. equally, in the best of the sunshine, highs of 2a,
1:57 pm
perhaps 25 degrees. not a bad looking day for northern ireland, maybe just the odd shower out towards the west. dry for the bulk of england and wales. a bit of patchy fairweather cloud and still some of this low cloud and mist affecting some north sea coasts, but temperatures easily up to 23, 2a, 25 degrees. our area of high pressure starts to give way as we head into the second half of the weekend, with these frontal systems rolling in from the atlantic, so the increasing chance of seeing some heavy showers and perhaps some thunderstorms popping up as we head through sunday, particularly across parts of northern ireland, northern england, wales, the midlands and down towards the south—west. it may well be that eastern parts of england stay dry. we'll see some showers getting going across parts of scotland. still very warm, though, with temperatures up to 25, perhaps up to 26 degrees on sunday. as we head into next week, well, a very different weather outlook. it looks much more unsettled. some rain at times and feeling cooler, as well.
