it's crunch time in the nba. we are down to the final four teams, as the conference finals will be getting underway in the next few days. on wednesday, the dallas mavericks will travel to the minnesota timberwolves in game one of the western conference finals, but later on tuesday, the boston celtics will be hoping to get their eastern conference finals off to a winning start over the indianna pacers. so far, it's been reasonably plain sailing for the celtics on route to this point, but head coachjoe mazzulla is confident that his side are ready for their biggest challenge of the post—season. if you're asking how well our team prepared, we've had a good couple days of practice and our guys focus on what it takes to give ourselves the best chance to win, knowing indiana is a good team, well—balanced and dangerous. we've had good days of preparation and our guys already to take on the

challenge of playing indiana. they are a well—balanced team, guys who can impact the game and that's the most important thing, understanding their personnel and how they impact their personnel and how they impact the game. it's a big year for paralympic superstar hannah cockroft — professionally and personally. in the last couple of hours she has won her 15th world championship gold medal. she then has the paralympics to look forward to later this summer and then, just three weeks after that — she's getting married. she's been talking about world records and dream dresses with our reporter sally hurst. 2024 has the potential to be the best year of my life.— best year of my life. world championships _ best year of my life. world championships in - best year of my life. world championships in may, - best year of my life. world - championships in may, paralympics best year of my life. world _ championships in may, paralympics in august, wedding in october. it is gorgeous. hannah cockroft is packing a lot in the next few months, dress shopping is a welcome moment to pause. shopping is a welcome moment to ause. ~ �* ., pause. we've got the venue, the church, pause. we've got the venue, the church. the _ pause. we've got the venue, the church, the suits. _ pause. we've got the venue, the church, the suits. we _ pause. we've got the venue, the church, the suits. we are - pause. we've got the venue, the church, the suits. we are doing l church, the suits. we are doing quite well. it has been hard planning the wedding into training,

and plasma. earlier, i wasjoined in the studio by three guests. david abdo — whose dad died age 52 after having a blood transfusion, roger newman — who was born a haemophiliac and who was infected with hiv and hepititis after receiving contaminated blood as a teenager, and also sarah westoby — a solicitor who has 300 clients affected by the infected blood scandal. i started by asking roger — who was at the release of the report yesterday — what the experience was like. it was very surreal and i'm still trying to take it all in because for the first time we heard the truth being pronounced in such clarity, and it was damning. we knew it was going to be damning. but to hear it and to be there with with so many others. but we were all so, so aware of so many that couldn't be

there because they were either too ill or already passed away. so it was a very, very poignant day, very powerful. and yeah, we're extremely thankful for the work of the inquiry. and, david, coming to you, yourfather, of course, couldn't be there like so many others, as roger was saying. how was it for you as an affected member of the family? i've always been alone. you know, it's always been that myself, my mother, you know, the family were all together as a group. and we never talked about this. being in a place yesterday where there was so much emotion, people being in the same position just brought to light exactly all the things i've had these past 30 years and it was emotional. i'm a bit teary now, actually, but it felt as if you're not alone and people around you were going through the exact same thing. and so a release. there was a massive release that i felt yesterday.

iwas numb. but after the event, it really brought to light that, you know, you should be able to like to talk about what you've experienced, to learn from what you experienced as well. and like so many others, you've talked about the fact that actually you couldn't talk about it, that you were told not to tell anyone about this. now that it's so public, it's on such a global stage, actually, what happened, do you feel vindicated in a way? i do. i really do. because an opportunity for me to actually say something and be a part of people that have gone through the experience. and don't be ashamed. don't be ashamed of what we've gone through or what i've gone through as a family. just be open. we're also joined by sarah. you are representing something like 300 people who've

been affected by this. what are the people that you're representing, what do they need to hear from the government going forward now? i think they need to hear that compensation, the framework will be put in place swiftly. it will be detailed. it will be comprehensive. it will be really carefully thought out. it will be along the lines of the study commissioned by the government of sir robert francis kc, and then the second interim report of sir brian langstaff, which was 12 months, over 12 months ago now. so we need to see this put in place just as soon as possible. some people have had compensation, some people haven't received a penny. so we would really like to see careful consideration given to those who haven't received anything. so the post—1991 cut—off date, people haven't received anything who are infected after that date yet. we know that, we've seen evidence that old blood was still being used, so people were infected. victims of hepatitis b

haven't received anything. and people who have not been able to find the medical records to demonstrate that they have received infected blood, we would like those three categories of people to be included within this compensation. that was a solicitor for 300 of our victims. thank you for roger and david telling their stories. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. we've still got some low cloud, mistand murk across the north sea coastline, and some of that will linger for much of the day. but generally speaking, today it's going to be cloudier and cooler than yesterday with scattered showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. and we'll see some more rain as we go through the course of wednesday and thursday. in fact, if we take this rainfall accumulation chart right the way through to friday, look at the dark blues and these greens, up to 70 millimetres of rainfall. and around lothian we're looking

at even more than that, potentially, so it could lead to some issues. so we've got the low cloud of mist and murk clinging to some parts of the north sea coastline. it is quite extensive. we've got the showers in scotland, northern ireland, wales and the southwest and some heavier rain coming in across the south—east. any of that combination could well prove to be thundery. lots of cloud developing through the day with one or two breaks. you could catch a shower in northern england and also parts of northern and eastern scotland, but it's once again north—west scotland where we're going to see more sunshine and highs up to 22, possibly 23. through this evening and overnight, the rain in the south—east pushes northwards. again, some of that will be heavy and thundery. to the north and south of that, cloudy with a few showers and overnight lows, nine to about 13 degrees. so we pick up that band of rain tomorrow. it's wrapped around this area of low pressure. now, this is the direction and track we expect the low pressure to take, but there's still a level of uncertainty about it. the track and the timing of this rain could change.

however, this is what we think, that it's going to be pretty wet across northern england, wales and in through southern, central and then northern scotland. one or two showers getting into northern ireland, drier as we push further south with one or two showers. it's a breezier day than today and it will be a little bit cooler, our highs, 14 to 19. now, depending on what happens on wednesday, it will have an impact on thursday, but it looks like the northern half of the country is going to be wet. for northern ireland, wales and southern england, we are looking at a bit more cloud. you could catch a shower from this as well. and it's going to be a windier day and a cooler one. temperatures 11 to 17. then as we head into the weekend, low pressure is close to the north. so for scotland and northern ireland at times it'll be cloudy and wet, further south, drier. but bank holiday monday is looking pretty good at the moment.
