railings, ran through a gate upper houses of parliament, and stabbed pc keith wallis —— pc keith palmer to death. last night, his family paid tribute to his selfless bravery, saying... police believe that khalid masood carried out the terror attack on his own, but are trying to establish if he was encouraged directed by others. questions remain unanswered about his route to radicalisation. he was a violent criminal before converting to islam more than a decade ago. since wednesday, 11 people have been arrested, and all have now been released except for a 58—year—old man from birmingham. detained under the terrorism act, he can be held without charge for 14 days. members of the public have

come to the scene of wednesday‘s attack to pay their respects to the four people who lost their lives. also to remember the many who were injured, and those who remain in hospital. alexandra joins us from westminster. the floral tributes behind you, they are growing on a daily basis. as we have heard, the police think they may never know why khalid masood did this. but the investigation, nonetheless, is still continuing. yes, absolutely. this is now entering the fourth full day of this, what is being described by police as a fast—moving investigation. what they are doing now is appealing for witnesses, appealing for more information, as they said this morning, khalid masood, the police have said they do not believe that he acted with anyone on the actual day of the attack. but what about the days

before that, the weeks before that, the month before that? that is the picture police want to piece together, and to do that they want together, and to do that they want to speak to anyone who knew khalid masood in the time before. and they wa nt masood in the time before. and they want them to come forward with any information that they might have. and as you say, a tribute growing here for the victims, the people lost their lives. thank you very much indeed for joining us this morning from parliament square. more than 30 people have been hurt — two of them seriously — after a suspected gas explosion in merseyside. a dance centre for children was destroyed and customers at a chinese restaurant were caught in the blast in bebington, in wirral. andy gill sent this report. the scale of the devastation shows just how powerful the explosion was. one building housing three businesses totally destroyed. this is what it looked like before last night. the blast was heard up to six

miles away. i heard miles away. iheard an miles away. i heard an almighty bang, at as well as the bang there was pressure as well, i felt a lot of pressure. i originally thought it was in the house. i ran around like a maniac looking around, stuff like that. the sound of the building growing up was captured by a car‘s dashboard camera. “— was captured by a car‘s dashboard camera. —— blowing up. two people we re camera. —— blowing up. two people were taken to a trauma unit in liverpool with serious injuries. 32 others were treated in hospitals in wirral and chester. there is a multitude of injuries that have happened with the two patients who have gone through to the major trauma unit. they have significant injuries. this has clearly been a huge explosion, powerful enough not only to bring down the main building and scattered debris for hundreds of yards, but also to punch huge holes

in the walls of nearby buildings. the emergency services will not speculate on the cause of the blast, but a number of local people have said they smell gas yesterday and friday. national grid engineers are on the scene. this incident is likely to be protracted. this is likely to last several days, very significant damage as you can tell. so it will be some time before people will be allowed back into their homes. some people whose homes had to be evacuated spent the night in the local church. nearby roads are likely to be closed for some time. the government will publish a significant part of its brexit legislation on thursday — a day after theresa may formally tells brussels that britain intends to leave the european union. the great repeal bill will give ministers the powers to change some aspects of current european laws, without needing the approval of parliament. our political correspondent mark lobel

is in our london newsroom. mark, this could prove to be controversial couldn‘t it? not everyone totally happy with this, why not? that‘s because ministers will be given the power to translate some of this eu law into domestic law without having to consult mps and peers, and without having the full parliamentary scrutiny for some aspects of this. and mps and peers wa nt reassu ra nces aspects of this. and mps and peers want reassurances from the government, robbery as early as thursday, —— probably, that those ministers cannot change the meaning of the laws as well, and it is just a tidying up exercise. the whole point of the bill is to give clarification and certainty for uk businesses and workers as to what the law is going to look like in two yea rs‘ the law is going to look like in two years‘ time. and what the government wa nt to years‘ time. and what the government want to do is get rid of all of the eu jargon and make the laws make sense, by giving the fast—track powers to ministers to get rid of all those little bits that need to be done and technicalities. so that

real policy—making on customs and immigration can have a proper time in parliament. we are talking about 40 in parliament. we are talking about a0 yea rs of in parliament. we are talking about a0 years of lawmaking that has to be tidied up in just a0 years of lawmaking that has to be tidied up injust two a0 years of lawmaking that has to be tidied up in just two years. a0 years of lawmaking that has to be tidied up injust two years. the government assures people that in fa ct government assures people that in fact those ministers will not be making substantial changes with these new powers. thank you very much. hong kong‘s new chief executive has been chosen. carrie lam, seen in the middle here, is believed to be beijing‘s preferred candidate. she won in the first round of voting by a specially chosen committee. pro—democracy activists had denounced the poll as a sham, arguing that everyone should have a vote. the taxi firm uber has suspended its pilot program for driverless cars after an early model of its self—driving car crashed on a roadway in arizona. the accident is the latest in a series of crashes involving autonomous vehicles. it‘s not yet known whether the car was in self driving mode at the time of the crash.uber said it caused no serious injuries. in case you missed it,

the clocks went forward this morning and some people working in the uk‘s tourism sector are calling for british summer time to stay. the british association of leisure parks, piers and attractions says an extra 80,000 jobs will be created due to longer daylight hours. our business correspondent joe lynam has more. half of all tourist visits to britain take in a leisure or amusement park, such as alton towers, thorpe park and the london eye. now the group that represents these parks is calling for britain to be on the same time zone as france or italy. it says doing so would create a boost worth £2.5 billion—£3.5 billion to the economy. it says brighter evenings could cut co2 emissions by half 500 million tons a year and prevent a road deaths annually. balppa also says shipping time zones would encourage more outdoor activity and cut obesity levels, especially among children. but it has been tried before

in the early 19705 when many scottish children had to go to school in the dark. it had, according to one snp politician, and absolutely devastating impact. joe lynam, bbc news. and waistcoat which once belonged to captain james cook has and waistcoat which once belonged to captainjames cook has failed to sell at auction. nobody wanted it. it was supposed to sell $1.1 billion, at bidding fell short of that estimate. it‘s floral design is said to be inspired by the explorer brea kfast travels said to be inspired by the explorer breakfast travels around australia. —— the explorer‘s travels. it is ten past eight. we will have a weather forecast in just around five minutes with chris. first, coping with the death of a loved one is a huge challenge, but many people have to come to terms with their own personal grief while also trying to

stay strong for their children. it‘s an issue that the former england captain rio ferdinand has experienced first—hand after the loss of his wife rebecca two years ago. he‘s shared his story in a new documentary, being mum & dad. let‘s take a look. this is one of the only things in life that i have not got the answer from. and that is quite worrying thought. you are just sitting there going, what are they thinking, where are they? are they worried, happy, sad? iam are they? are they worried, happy, sad? i am desperate to know, but i don‘t want to scare them. i want the best case for my kids, and the only way i see that happening is for me to ask questions. i need help, i do need help, i know that. let‘s talk about this now with dan naylor who lost his wife helen in december 2012, when his son was just two years old. alsojoining us is linda magistris from the bereavement charity,

the good grief trust. thank you both very much indeed for coming in. damn, iappreciate it thank you both very much indeed for coming in. damn, i appreciate it is difficult to explain, but can you tell us what happened ? helen went to work the week before christmas, did a bit of christmas shopping at lunchtime, on the way back to work stopped at a pelican crossing, the green man came on, the traffic light went to red, and a guy just rolled through the red light and hit her on the pelican crossing, and hit her on the pelican crossing, and she never woke up. and at the time, your son was just... two and a half. how difficult was it you coming to terms with something that is unimaginable to most of us? helen never woke up, but the ambulance crews managed to keep her alive to get to the hospital and they managed to keep her on life support for a few days so we conceded by. buti

support for a few days so we conceded by. but i had to getjamie and put him on the bed and tell him he had to say goodbye, that his mum was not going to come home, and his mum had died and she wasn‘t going to come home to see him. so it was pretty tough, but he did really well. for a two and a half year old, he did very well. a very difficult one. most people will not be able to get their heads around how you get through the day today. what did you do initially? added you manage? it is tricky, a lot of it is a blur. jamie helps. having jimmy to look after and having to make sure that he is fed and thwarted and dressed and go into nursery, meant that i had to get up and they had to be sober and seen and go through the day—to—day stuff. but it also forces you to keep yourself together. it doesn‘t necessarily give you time to really grieve, perhaps was to mark?

i would take into nursery and then sit on the steps and cry and get him from nursery in the afternoon. linda, to have read than‘s story, you went through something similar as well. for those who have not been through it, it is quite shocking and you wonder how on earth you get through it. but reading the statistics about the number of pa rents, statistics about the number of parents, young parents, who lose a partner, i was shocked when i read the numbers. it is shocking, and grief is completely debilitating and can take over your life. this is why we have put together the the good grief trust rumour i lost my partner two years ago. we have launched this charity because we want to bring everybody together, we want people to share these experiences, bring all those services, all those organisations around the country together because at the moment it is very difficult to find the help and support that you really need at the

time you need it most. i, luckily, very accidentally, found a charity which was my lifeline. but nobody seemed to know about it. health professionals, gps, they did not sign post me to it. i was baffled as to why that happened. i have now spent two years researching this, and we know there are excellent organisations that can help people like dan, whether you have lost a child, a parent, a partner, a sibling, a friend. wreath is catastrophic and needs to be acknowledged and recognised —— grief. those numbers that i mentioned, in 2015, 23,600 parents died in the uk leading independent children. that is one every 22 minutes. exactly, and in a classroom, one out of every 29 of these children will be believed and will have lost a parent. it really is absolutely shocking, and we did —— we need to

do something about that. we are now going to go into every hospital, every hospice, every gp surgery, every hospice, every gp surgery, every funeral director, and give them a card that will signpost them to that help. it is all going to be under that one umbrella because you need help quickly. we all grieve completely differently, but the thread that runs through it, because you have now started your own facebook, ringing the guys together, is we need to talk to each other who have been through a similar circumstance. i think people had said to you initially, perhaps you need to share with other people who have had similar experiences, and you are relu cta nt similar experiences, and you are reluctant at first, but that is what you did and i think that is how you came into contact with rio ferdinand, isn‘t it? yes, at the very beginning of that, my friend a widower lost our waves in similar circumstances. so i contacted him and said we are both

in the same boat, let‘s have a chat. and from that we have ended up helping him, we have made a private group on facebook that is just for widows, and widowers, a safe place fermented law of steam, talk about why things work and why things don‘t work —— a safe place for men to let off stea m. and how difficult was it for someone like rio ferdinand? when you are so well known as well. the privacy of yourself, your children, to open up of others is even more of challenge. you cannot trust people that you don‘t know. with rio ferdinand‘s public persona, he cannot quite get blitzed on a friday night. hejust cannot do that. he has a public persona , cannot do that. he has a public persona, he has to remain a part of. he found a lot of strength being in

touch with you. you will see on the filming tuesday. we got to tell our stories, and it was good to tell our own stories. is it harderfor men than was good to tell our own stories. is it harder for men than four women? you have to talk. you have to talk. you do have to talk, and women talk more naturally, i guess, than the guys do. ijust need to read you this post. our facebook has reached over 500,000 people in seven months. this is a really important issue, and it says here, this has been shed 5600 times, if you know someone who has lost a very important person in their life and has lost a very important person in theirlife and are has lost a very important person in their life and are afraid to mention them because you think you may make them because you think you may make them sad by reminding them that they died, you are not reminding them. they did not forget that they died. what you're reminding them of is that you remember that they live. and that is a really great gift.

if they know someone in that situation, the best thing. what was the best thing in terms of you feeling that you have support? i have talk about this quite a lot. ifamilies did, my i have talk about this quite a lot. i families did, my in—laws on the other side are very good, i have got a lot of help that way around. that really is key. i know so many people, family and friends and in—laws, who distanced themselves. they don‘t know what to do. you knock on the door, you don't say to someone phoned me if you need me. turn up and take the children out of the park. turn up with a lasagne something. this is across the board. if you phone me, i have the opportunity to put the phone down or answer. if you text me i have the

option to read it and delete it or apply. but if you do not do that i will not phone you because i‘m not going to myself on the other end. if you don't know what to say, just say i don't know what to say but i am here foryou. say i don't know what to say but i am here for you. be there for that person, and all the way through, because it is notjust at the beginning. somebody could be in denial, and like rio ferdinand, he has put it aside to look after his children. you need to keep in touch with people. ifind with people. i find those statistics utterly shocking. thank you both very much indeed. add all the first —— and all the best to jamie as well. rio ferdinand: being mum and dad is on bbc one on tuesday night at 9pm. you‘re watching breakfast from bbc news. let‘s ta ke let‘s take a look at the weather forecast. a glorious start to the morning.

this was our early picture, sent in showing the sunrise. thanks for sending that glorious picture in. the old adage, red sky in the morning, shepards‘ warning. the shepherds do not need to be worried, it is going to be a glorious day. we have got temperatures up to 19 celsius in the morning, the warmest day of the year so far yesterday. temperatures could go to attend the higher than that later this afternoon —— one tenth higher than that. we have got clear skies, the sun is up and those temperatures are going to go shooting up but he quickly. early morning mist patches clearing up over the western isles of scotland. for shetland, occasional spot of drizzle, quite breezy, temperatures 9 degrees. the mainland of scotland is bathed in sunshine, and the northern areas, temperatures a feud tends of a degree higher than they were yesterday. the warmer spots across

western counties, 18 degrees, 19 possible across parts of west wales. mainly north—west england as well. sheltered from these wins that will make it feel little on the fresh side across eastern parts of england today. no problems for the world cup qualifying football matches. staying dry at wembley, winds are park and hamdan. a bit of late day sunshine at wembley. we will keep that clear and dry weather this evening. it will be called for northern ireland and scotland, maybe a little bit of cloud moving in from the north sea affecting eastern england. high pressure still with us for the week ahead, more warm sunshine to come, but we will see changes by the time we get the middle part of the week, outbreaks of rain in the north and west. here is monday‘s forecast, another dry day for everyone just about. cloudy start across eastern areas, that will then and break—up

with sunny spells coming through. early morning frost coming through, and in the sunshine feeling presently warm —— pleasantly warm. it will start to get a little warmer across south—east england, temperatures reaching around 17—18 . that is the latest weather. thanks very much indeed. you‘re watching breakfast from bbc news. it‘s time now for a look at the newspapers. and the poet ian mcmillan is going to tell us what has caught his eye this morning. inside the observer, we should just acknowledge the picture is of one of the refugees from mosul fleeing the city, which is still under attack from islamic state. there is a real refugee crisis brewing there. elsewhere, looking back of the attack on westminster earlier this week, and the revelation that the whole act was just 82 seconds, ian, which

the revelation that the whole act wasjust 82 seconds, ian, which is astonishing. that is the amazing thinkers we think about time a lot this morning. the mystery of time, and what time is. and yet all that happened, that terrible event happened in 82 seconds. i was just intrigued and shocked and horrified by the specific nature of that. 82 seconds. it was not 90 seconds, or a minute. it was not 90 seconds, or a minute. it makes you think that every cataclysmic event actually happens ina cataclysmic event actually happens in a small amount of time. there is a kind of ripple effect a slipstream around these things. that these things just around these things. that these thingsjust happen around these things. that these things just happen in around these things. that these thingsjust happen in a around these things. that these things just happen in a very tiny space of time, you start thinking, what if? a split—second either way, and consequences would have been different for all the people involved. in every news item, in every day, you think about that. that amazing phrase, a split—second, isn‘t that interesting? a split—second that could send something one thing or

the other. —— one way or the other. plays into the conversation we were having with dan. inside the sunday mirror, hundreds of libraries face the axe in cuts. this is a story that has been around for awhile. lots of have already gone, lots of local councils have found they cannot keep going. it has been going throughout this decade of austerity. in decades to come, people are going to go, they did what, they shut libraries? but do you think they will, given that so much of reading is now done on tablets? but i'll on tablets? but i‘ll be think the library can be the moral and cultural centre. it is where people can go for nothing and access the world, and be sitting there in a place that is about bringing people together. and ijust think maybe it is not a good thing. i know it is an old story, but it is

good to keep saying, do we have to do this? it is interesting the way libraries have evolved. they are real community hub, the ones that work well, there is internet access for people who might not have it at home. free newspapers, children‘ sessions. we are getting a new one in barnsley. we got a lovely new one in my village, but before it was mrs dove, who used to terrify us, she would ask to see our hands! the royal family has long had associations with dogs. the telegraph is saying that queen victoria used to sketch her dogs. i think that‘s fantastic. it amused me, iwas i think that‘s fantastic. it amused me, i was amused, unlike queen victoria, to think that her and prince albert would sit there and say, what shall we do? let sketch a dog with hp pencil. they would make

the dog sit quietly, and albert, you a lwa ys the dog sit quietly, and albert, you always imagine them dressed in their royal gear, they would sit there, and it shows a human side may be of the queen and prince albert. i don‘t think we got the whiskers right, have you got the tail, albert costa mark? my mark? my children were drawing, and my 50—year—old brother sat down and drew a rabbit with them. i looked down and i was try to keep the children quite, and i saw he was observed in this pencil sketch. it is an absorbing thing. and when you are tormented by the affairs of state, maybe the best thing is to sit down and draw a dog. i don‘t think the current queen would have time to draw all the corgis. the times, slow radio. idoa the times, slow radio. i do a show on radio 3, so i‘m a bit biased. but they do this fantastic idea where the presenter is going to go from walk, and they are going to

broadcast it for four hours on the radio. just the footsteps? notjust just the footsteps? not just the footsteps, there just the footsteps? notjust the footsteps, there may be birdsong, he will meet people. is this a bit like clare balding‘s ramblings on radio a? a little bit. i am interested in audio of all forms. you can also have very tiny one minute podcast, and it is very exciting, i would like to go on that slow walk. i don‘t do slow radio, because i work on radio five live! and finally, john redwood, he does not like digital radio. john redwood has done what we have all done, my radio works, but there is one room in the house, i can normally get a signal by balancing act the radio high on the book case. we have all been there, we have balanced on things. can you hear it yet? from the top of the bookcase

thinking, do i look silly, but at least i am getting good slow radio. it is the only way i can listen to my football team, to go into a certain room and point the aerial in a certain direction. people come into the house, are you all right? yes, thanks will stop just on the bookcase. thank you very much, ian. safe journey back to barnsley. still to come, something to calm you down if you are feeling a bit frazzled. it is not sketching dogs or slow radio, but amazing images of new types of cloud that have made it into the official international cloud atlas. it has been revised for the first time in 20 years. stay with us, the headlines are coming. hello, this is breakfast, with rachel burden and rogerjohnson. coming up before 9am, chris will be here with the weather. but first, a summary of this morning‘s main news. police say they might never find out why khalid masood killed four

people near the houses of parliament on wednesday. according to investigating officers the attack lasted only 82 seconds. police believe that masood acted alone but are trying to establish if he was encouraged or directed by others. the family of the police officer keith palmer who was killed have paid tribute to his selfless bravery and loving nature. in a statement they expressed their gratitude to the people who helped him after the attack saying "there was nothing more you could have done." in the last few days people many have been laying flowers at westminster in memory of the victims. more than 30 people have been hurt, two of them seriously, after a suspected gas explosion in merseyside. a dance centre for children was destroyed and customers at a chinese restaurant were caught in the blast in bebington, in wirral. several homes were also evacuated. earlier we spoke to someone who saw what happened. the building was, well, wasn‘t

there. the bricks had flown a massive distance a way and all the windows were smashed in. i noticed someone windows were smashed in. i noticed someone in the road, surrounded by rouble, but they had a couple of people with them. i headed straight over to them to see if there was anything i could do. us central command says it has opened an investigation into an air strike on the iraqi city of mosul which is reported to have killed dozens of civilians earlier this month. american officials have acknowledged that us—led coalition aircraft took part in the attack on part of the city controlled by islamic state fighters. the united nations has warned of a "terrible loss of life". the government will set out details of its plans to bring eu law into domestic legislation on thursday; the day after theresa may is set to start the formal brexit process. the great repeal bill will bring eu regulations into domestic law, allowing them to be amended or removed after brexit.

the bill will allow ministers to alter regulations without the full scrutiny of mps and peers. the taxi firm uber has suspended its pilot program for driverless cars after an early model of its self—driving car crashed on a roadway in arizona. the accident is the latest in a series of crashes involving autonomous vehicles. it‘s not yet known whether the car was in self driving mode at the time of the crash. uber said it caused no serious injuries. in case you missed it, the clocks went forward this morning and some people working in the uk‘s tourism sector are calling for british summer time to stay. the british association of leisure parks, piers and attractions says an extra 80,000 jobs will be created due to longer daylight hours. it also says shifting time zones would encourage more outdoor activity and cut obesity levels, especially among children. cheryl fernandez—versini has announced that she‘s given

birth to her first child, a baby boy. the singer posted a photo of her popstar partner liam payne, from the band one direction, cradling the newborn on social media. in the post cheryl said she gave birth on wednesday, but the couple have yet to decide on a name for their son. he has got lots of hair. so has his dad! and his mother! now, all the sports news. good morning. if ever a picture tells a story, i think that one does. the first race of the new formula 1 season. we are used to seeing lewis hamilton, but not this morning. it was poor strategy. interesting to see how it will pan out this season because they have

been new rule changes which should make cars faster. will we see a potential end to the mercedes procession that we have seen in recent years? this morning suggests so. mercedes domination of formula one could be under threat after ferrari‘s sebastian vettel won the opening race of the season in australia. lewis hamilton was the favourite to win after starting from pole and leading until he stopped for fresh tyres on the eighteenth lap. but mercedes got their tactics wrong. ferrari kept vettel out for another six laps, he inherited the lead after his stop and stayed comfortably in front till the chequered flag to claim his first win since september 2015. england, scotland and northern ireland are all in action this evening, in their latest qualifiers for next year‘s world cup. there‘ll be a minute‘s silence at wembley, ahead of england‘s match against lithuania, for victims of the westminster attack, and manager gareth southgate understands the power of sport in such difficult circumstances. we know how important the national football team is for the feeling of the nation, and it‘s a great

opportunity for everybody to pay their respects at that moment and to show that as a country we go on, you know, not only london but a country as a whole. that‘s our identity historically. there‘s arguably most at stake for scotland tonight — they‘re in the same group as england, but are fifth and if they don‘t beat slovenia, their hopes of qualifying would look very slim indeed. sometimes it‘s easy for a manager to say this is what we‘re going to do. sometimes you‘re in a position, well, if we draw, win, or we lose, we can still be... it depends... we have to win. what we don‘t have to do is win it in the first five, six, seven, ten minutes. you never know in big games when your opportunity comes along. northern ireland are well placed heading into their match with norway. they‘re second in the group, five points behind germany, and on course to clinch a play—off place. we have the opportunity to put seven

points between ourselves and norway, the opportunity to get to ten points. once you get to that stage of any points. once you get to that stage ofany campaign, points. once you get to that stage of any campaign, you start to believe that it really is possible, and to put yourself in a position to modify. certainly with the experience of qualifying for france, we have been through that and those experiences, we know what is required to get there. the netherlands are struggling — they lost to bulgaria. cristiano ronaldo though scored twice as the european champions portugal beat hungary 3—0. this was the pick of his goals. there was a great goal too from the everton striker romelu lukaku and a late one at that, his equaliser coming in the 89th minute as belgium salvaged a draw against greece to remain top of their group. and if we‘re talking good goals, this morning. this one is going to take some topping as dundee united lifted the scottish challenge cup for the first time. tony andreu‘s strike, and what a strike, helping them to a 2—1win over st mirren. this competition for the under—20 teams from the scottish premiership, as well as the lower divisions and sides from northern ireland and wales.

anthony crolla was outclassed in his bid to regain the wba lightweight title in manchester last night. he lost his rematch withjorge linares on points. in front of a home crowd, crolla went down in the seventh round, after a quick uppercut. and though he responded well, linares retained the belt on a unanimous decision. leicester took a big stride towards the play—offs in rugby union‘s premiership, beating local rivals northampton by 36 points to 31. owen williams‘ huge penalty in the last minute of the game sealed the win for leicester and took them into that all—importa nt fourth place. elsewhere there were wins for harlequins and exeter. and leinster strengthened their position at the top of the pro—12 after beating cardiff blues 22—21 — ross moloneyjust managing to touch down in the corner for what proved to be the winning score. england‘s ross fisher is out of the world golf championship match play in texas. he lost to japan‘s hideto tanihara

in the quarter—finals — but he did leave with a decent consolation prize — his win over bubba watson in the previous round took fisher into the world‘s top 50 and earned him a place in the masters next month. there were all around gold medals for ellie downie and joe fraser at the british gymnastics championships in liverpool. downie was part of the hugely successful gb team at last year‘s olympics in rio and took the title for the first time with a string of confident performances. and 18—year—old fraser was a surprise winner in the men‘s competition — this is his first senior year. to be honest, it is unbelievable. it is my first year as a senior, and i was using this competition to try my new elements and see how they were in addition, and for to come away

with two golds, a silver and a bronze is something i would never have expected before the competition. chris froome‘s hopes of victory at the volta a catalunya were ruined yesterday as he lost 26 minutes on his rivals in the penultimate stage. froome was in second place but he and team sky failed to latch on to an early breakaway and he was well beaten as alejandro valverde extended his overall lead. daryl impey won the stage in that sprint to the line. britain‘s adam yates is fourth overall. froome is now down in 31st. so, not date strategy from some teams there, strategy is the talking point this morning. gymnastics is one of those exports that has benefited from exposure and their brilliance, and there medal winning. yes, it is in a strong place. it has managed to maintain that depth of

talent because of all the interest from young people coming through and joining gymnastics clubs around the country. it is fantastic, new names are winning medals. yes, we will be following them over the years. to wina following them over the years. to win a gold medal at 18, it is not old but it is getting advanced in gymnastics years. it is very, very young! i can see you doing a bit of that, roger.|j it is very, very young! i can see you doing a bit of that, roger. i am passeditin you doing a bit of that, roger. i am passed it in more ways than one! fifa‘s former medical director has spoken out about the abuse of legal painkillers by elite footballers — something he says could have life—threatening implications. jiri dvorak claims around half of players involved in the past three world cups regularly took non—steroidal, anti—inflammatory drugs. he spoke to david ornstein as part of the bbc‘s state of sport week. it‘s known as the beautiful game, but the pursuit

of glory can be ugly. when injury occurs there is pressure to play through the pain and now a leading doctor says the use of legal medication is one of football‘s biggest problems. if you cover up symptoms over years or decades, this is general in medicine, if you have an underlying pathology and you constantly cover up with medication, the underlying pathology or disease is not cured. dr dvorak warned about this in 2012 when he found almost a0% of players at the 2010 world cup took painkillers before every game. football‘s governing body fifa say they are providing education on the well—being of athletes, while the professional footballers‘ association insist it is not a major issue in the english game. but dr dvorak argues that lessons have not been learned. when i put on the weight on the scale, the doping

can be abuse of medication, the abuse of medication is much more alarming. wake up and be careful. it‘s not as harmless as you think, that you can take it like cookies. it has side—effects. well, this isn‘t about banned or hard to come by substances or supplements, it‘s about everyday over—the—counter anti—inflammatories like ibuprofen, and the question is whether and to what extent these are being misused by footballers. it's widespread in football. always has been, always will be. as a player you first ask is, it is legal? if it is, it's fine. is it going to help you get through a game? yes. generally, without too many questions, without too much concern, you'll take what you've been offered. the overuse of medication feeds into the wider topic of athlete welfare, an issue the government is taking seriously with a duty of care review due to be published shortly.

david ornstein, bbc news. you‘re watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: the metropolitan police says khalid masood, who carried out wednesday‘s terror attack in westminster, acted alone, and there is no information to suggest further attacks are planned. a suspected gas explosion leads to people seriously injured and 32 others hurt after the collapse of several buildings in merseyside. also coming up in the programme: could dinosaurs have actually originated in britain? as new research makes some surprising findings, we find out whether the dinosaur theories we‘ve relied on for over 100 years could soon be extinct. this is where we say goodbye to roger, who‘s going to read the news for the andrew marr show. here‘s chris with a look at this morning‘s weather.

is that from this morning? wow! isn‘t it beautiful. this is the scene sent to us half an hour ago showing the beautiful sunrise in the north yorkshire area. thank you for this photograph. you know that old saying, red sky in the morning, shepherd‘s warning. well, the shepherds can keep on looking after the sheep and not worry about the weather. there will be plenty of sunshine. yes, yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far, and we could go a little bit higher than that this afternoon. another cold start to the day. northern england, northern ireland and scotland have patches of force to contend with first thing this morning, and there is some fog around as well. northern scotla nd is some fog around as well. northern scotland and shetland have cloudy skies and a bit of drizzle, butjust

about everywhere else is based in glorious sunshine. northern scotland is where the highest temperatures will be today, and it will get to just over 19 degrees, so it could well be the warmest day of the year so well be the warmest day of the year so far. similar warmth for the western side of wales parts of north—west england. generally, the further east you go, the cold the wins so temperatures will be pegged back along those coasts. for the world cup qualifier matches, some late sunshine for wembley. temperatures in double figures around kick—off. overnight tonight, we keep that clear and dry weather. there will be some fog moving into the coastline of northern scotland, some low cloud of the north sea to affect parts of eastern england. but by and large it will be another fine start to the week with high pressure and some warm sunshine to look

forward to. still some patches of frost, but there will be some changes in the weather towards the middle of the week. on monday, the fog will take a little time to clear around the coastline of north—west scotland, but another glorious day with plenty of blue skies and sunshine to look forward to. in the sunshine, with lighter winds, it will get a little bit warmer, but generally the highest temperatures will be across western parts of the uk. the weather is set fair for the next few days. looks wonderful, thank you. landline and broadband customers who suffer poor service could be compensated automatically under new plans put forward by the regulator ofcom. if the proposals go ahead affected customers would receive £10 for every day their service is not repaired. £30 if an engineer doesn‘t turn up for an appointment or if it‘s cancelled with less than 2a hours notice. and, they would get £6 for each day that a new service is delayed at the start of a contract.

for more, let‘s speak to the telecoms analyst, matthew howett who‘s in our london newsroom. good morning to you. thank you for joining us this morning. how would this compensation scheme work in practice, would you have two notify somebody? well, that is the important thing about that it is automatic. consumers that find themselves in the situation of having to take a day off work to wait for having to take a day off work to waitforan having to take a day off work to wait for an engineer to fix a line, or install a new line after moving house, will no longer has to chase the company because the compensation will come automatically. the customer can choose whether they have that added to their bill so it gets taken off and it is a cheaper bill for that month, or whether they get it in another form, where their cash into their bank account or a voucher. how big a problem is this in general? on the whole, i think

most customers have a pretty good experience with their broadband. research from off, rape their broadband —— rate their broadband as good or very good, but there is a problem when you get stuck in the situation of not being able to get a connection or get a fault six. dash—macro fixed. customers feel helpless with their provider very often, so they are putting in this to encourage providers to make a better experience for consumers to avoid this in the first place. isn't this mostly bt open beta because they look after the infrastructure? that‘s right because openreach are responsible for the connection into homes or businesses, and the responsibility is mainly on them, the regulator is pushing through reforms as we speak, and one of the key aspects of that is the consumer element, how does it benefit the end

user? yes, it is mainly focused on openreach who is responsible for the network. a lot of people will be wishing we had compensation for a hopeless phone signal. yes, at the moment it does not apply to mobile because on the insulation within mobile is already pretty good, operators try to recover things fairly quickly when things do go wrong. this does apply to broadband, so wrong. this does apply to broadband, so when things go wrong with your broadband connection you will benefit from this automatic compensation, but on the whole, things are pretty good and there are a lot of mechanisms in place to ensure that consumers continue to benefit from the competition, for example, that means services are fairly good. thank you very much. worth knowing will now, the first dinosaurs may have

originated in the northern hemisphere and perhaps even in britain. it is one of the findings published in thejournal nature, it is one of the findings published in the journal nature, which suggests some of our accepted theories about dinosaurs could be more. dash—macro wrong. fossilised bones that capture a time that dinosaurs ruled the earth, more than 65 million years ago. by measuring how they changed over the yea rs, researchers measuring how they changed over the years, researchers worked out how they are related, and how they evolved. but a new assessment published in the journal nature, which suggests that that theory which suggests that that theory which has lasted 130 years, maybe wrong. the current theory is that there are two main groups of dinosaurs. one, including the stegosaurus, and another which has two branches. the vegetarians such as the brontosaurus, and the meat eaters such as the savagejoanna soros racks. it turns out that the meat eaters are in the wrong group

and should be with the stegosaurus. it also shows that the very first dinosaurs did not originate in east africa, but much further north, possibly in an area which is now britain. we have taken dinosaur origins, which artificially thought to be southern hemisphere and brought them into the northern hemisphere, and it could well be that dinosaurs originated even within britain itself. what we have here isa within britain itself. what we have here is a key specimen in this analysis. and here is the fossil that led to this shock finding, a primitive dinosaur the size of a cat was found in lossiemouth in scotland. it was an animal like this that led to the creatures that dominated this planet for 165 million years. the new family tree will mean that we will have to rethink our ideas of how they evolved and spread across the globe. this is a fairly major change to our knowledge of dinosaurs. we have had

a system in place for 130 years, we thought we understood the ships of these big groups of animals, but it may be that we have a major rearrangement of the dinosaur tree. this re—evaluation of fossils challenge is a theory that has been accepted since the victorian iraq, and so will be controversial. but if it is proved to be correct, textbooks on the subject will have to be rewritten. how many clouds can you name? perhaps not many, but there are now 12 new ones to learn. for the first time since 1987, the world meteorological organization is releasing an updated version of its international cloud atlas, the global reference book for identifying clouds. we‘ll be hearing a bit more about that in just a moment, but if you want to know what you‘re looking at next time you look up — here‘s a handy little guide. gavin pretor—pinney is the founder of the cloud appreciation society. this is like one of those games, i

am now going to get you to name all the clouds you have just seen. well, we have got a few new terms added, soap we have got a few new terms added, soap one we have got a few new terms added, soap one example might be cavum, which is when you have a whole cut out of eight loud. it now has a latin system. the other one i love is asperitas, this is stunning. you do cds around the uk. these are not foreign clouds, are they must remark —— you do see these around the uk. they look exotic and otherworldly but with so much variety in the clouds over britain, you can see all of these at one time or another. some of these were spotted over dorset not so long ago, and we have some great examples of asperitas

clouds. let's have a look at volutus. this is eight very particular type of cloud. this is also called a roll cloud. now it has been given the name volutus. i once saw a cloud like this in australia, it is in weaves and called the morning glory cloud and glider pilots go and serve it. this is a low role of cloud that travels along. this is another one. are those streaks in the sky not vapour trails? yes, these have been given a latin name, homogenitus contrails, which mean man—made cloud. latin name, homogenitus contrails, which mean man-made cloud. you encourage people to go out and look

up. yes, it is funny when the clouds are always there, this ever present backdrop to our lives, how we can become blind to its beauty, blind to the beauty of the sky. i think it is a good idea to be reminded, to be tapped on the shoulder every now and then that sometimes the most beautiful things are the everyday things. you have been encouraging people this morning to go out and look up, so we have got a couple of pictures that viewers have sent in. johnin pictures that viewers have sent in. john in sussex sent in this beautiful picture. there we have got some low cloud and high cloud. the low cloud is cumulus. the high cloud would have started off as a condensation trail, and has now spread out in the high wind. ken sentin spread out in the high wind. ken sent in this picture, looking toward liverpool. yes, i think this is sunrise this morning. we have got high cloud, high patches of cirrus

cloud. that is high ice crystal cloud. that is high ice crystal cloud. and wendy took this picture. interestingly, i guess the kind of environment may affect the cloud formation. if you have a power station, would that be right? they would, but this looks like a good example of volutus. that is amazing, that picture. power stations can produce clouds, and that will be another example of homogenitus, man—made clouds. that is a classic roll cloud, volutus. clouds can be quite threatening, can‘t they? roll cloud, volutus. clouds can be quite threatening, can't they? they reveal the moods of the sky, they are like expressions on the face of the atmosphere. certainly, when the

atmosphere is angry, the clouds reveal that. so, when you see the sky darkening that is because they are deepening and thickening, and whenever clouds get tall, it is the first indication of the possibility of rain. i think everyone will be looking at the sky in a different way. thank you forjoining us this morning. that‘s all for today. happy mothering sunday. enjoy the rest of the weekend, goodbye. this is bbc news. i‘m reeta chakrabarti. the headlines at 9am: scotland yard says the westminster attacker khalid masood acted alone and his motive may never be known. detectives confirmed the attack lasted just 82 seconds the family of murdered pc keith palmer have thanked those who fought to save his life and said they were grateful he was not alone. two people have been seriously injured and 32 others hurt
