good afternoon. this is bbc news. the headlines: the uk says it will stand up for gibraltar‘s interests after the territory accused spain of using brexit to forward its territorial claims. research says that nearly half of the people who use the government help to buy scheme to buy a house did not need it. bbc newsline is only 5% of prison staff and england and wales cricket board pay allowances of up to £5,000. protesters in paraguay storm congress as the president tries to change the constitution to sit the real election. —— to sit for re—election. and now, time for inside out. hello. what happens when one of the south's busiest roads meets one of the world's most important landscapes? i cannot see a worse place for the

tunnel to come out where it is. also coming up, how people with dementia are using music to help them cope with their condition. it makes you feel good to play, because they are not worried whether you play the wrong note or nothing, which happens quite a bit anyway. and butterfly expert and enthusiast matthew oates takes us on a tour of the cell. no less than 46 of the 59 species in the uk have been found here. that is mega. plans to re—route the tunnel at stonehenge have seen since serious opposition, not least from the woman who farms the tunnel will go. far, she has refused speaker. until now.

stonehenge is one of our top tourist attractions. that noise is the a303, the main route from cornwall to london. about 24,000 vehicles a day on this road, going up to 30,000 in the summer, but not good for road users, it is not good for local residents, and it is not good for the setting of this world heritage site. now a of this world heritage site. nowa £i.4 of this world heritage site. now a £1.4 billion scheme to rewrote the road through a tunnel and make isa the road through a tunnel and make is a jewelled carriageway has been given the go—ahead. you would think that was the perfect solution, right? it isa right? it is a total catastrophe. the plans recommended by highways england and the government are for an eight metre high fly over, just about 300 metres from where we are standing.

it isa metres from where we are standing. it is a modern scar on an ancient landscape. it breaks my heart, it brea ks landscape. it breaks my heart, it breaks my heart. so why are they so against the scheme? i've come to wiltshire museum in devizes. these artefacts are more than 4000 years old. this dagger is astounding. it is difficult to see, but the original had 140,000 tiny gold studs. they we re had 140,000 tiny gold studs. they were found buried with a bronze age chieftain in a grave known as a barrow about half a mile south of stonehenge. he has been hell would become known as bush barrow man. the west end of the tunnel was planned to pass close to his grave. these images give us an idea of what is proposed, but what does it look like in real life? i have come to see. this is rachel.

bush barrow is on herfarm. it is one of many barrows she looked after. she sees herself as a custodian, and has adapted the way she farms around them. we grassed a proportion of the far end of the farm, because there was archaeology. two to is among one of 40 year. a303 is the key monument in the cemetery. underneath here is still bush barrow man. they removed all the parts and gold and exciting bits of pieces, so yes, it is quite exciting to think that bush barrow man is still under oui’ that bush barrow man is still under our feet. stonehenge that bush barrow man is still under ourfeet. stonehenge over that bush barrow man is still under our feet. stonehenge over there, that bush barrow man is still under ourfeet. stonehenge over there, and you can see the tunnel will come underneath, it will come out in the field we see opposite us, where the

scars are on the field. how big a role we took me about? massive. four carriageways. people are going to say that you just don't want this on your land. ijust think it is so important that enough consideration is given as to sensitively putting this road in the ireland. it has to be sensitive, not in front of bush barrow man. the high value of gold found in this barrow make it britain's richest bronze age burial. but there is another place close to the east end of the tunnel that experts are worried will also be damaged by the plan. until recently, this area of woodland two miles from stonehenge had largely been ignored by archaeologists. its true significance is only now being revealed. we discovered where the communities we re we discovered where the communities were living who had ilton the first monument at stonehenge and the

stonehenge knoll, and we know that they are living here around 8000 bc, and these communities come back again and again all the way through to 4000 bc. this site is now thought to be the longest continually inhabited place in the uk. david led a team of archaeologists on a date here in 2014. they found around 32,000 pieces of worked flint and more than 1000 pieces of animal bone. but the secret of this place is in the water. it is warmed by a natural spring, meaning it did not freeze during the ice age, and that brought people to settle here. so this is it. this is bleak mead, where we have been digging over the last ten years. the basin behind us has got shed loads of archaeology in it. so what percentage of this have you excavated and found ?

a tiny percentage. we have died in total 20 metres square. everywhere we go gear, we're finding really important archaeology. —— we have done 20 metres square. they will be a flyover about 300 metres from where we're standing to the east, andi where we're standing to the east, and i will be eight metres high. if that was not bad enough, the road here is going to be banked up another seven metres. all of that logistical work will drain the spring and take down the water table, which is preserving all of these objects which are thousands of yea rs these objects which are thousands of years old. the road has got to go somewhere, hasn't it? it has got to go somewhere, but why does it have to go here? this is one of the most precious landscapes in the world. so what is the man in charge of the road scheme have to say about david's and rachel's fears? my team have gone and visited bleak mead's site with the professor to hear what he is saying.

across the road, we have got bush barrow. the owner of the land says having the tunnel will actually impact on the world heritage site. i have met mrs hayes. we are listening to what she is saying, and the other 900 bits of correspondent we have had to our consultation. will you change your plans if it does not work out? we are still in consultation, analysing all those consultations, and taking a view on the best way forward. earlier this month, more than 20 eminent archaeologists and historians registered their objections to the scheme. they echoed those of rachel and professor jacks, but they are also concerned that the tunnel entrance near to bush barrow will destroy the views of the winter sunset, now thought to be fundamental to the stones positioning. the final plan for the proposed tunnel is expected in the autumn. building work is scheduled to start in 2020.

next, the power of music really can be quite remarkable. as one group of people in dorset has been finding out. margaret stark plays the violin with the university dementia care bicester. we dropped in with them. we have got a concert next week, haven't we? are we going to play this in the concert? shall we play some music? we will go ej. you decide. top strength. i think g. nothing, we tend to go... welcome to my orchestra. you should hear the perlin philharmonic do this! some of us have dementia, and some of us are carers. great! fantastic. that isjoanne

david. their partners don't come any more, but they stilljoin us every week. one, two, three... it is all a bit emotional for me at the moment. i it is all a bit emotional for me at the moment. lam it is all a bit emotional for me at the moment. i am sorry. it is all a bit emotional for me at the moment. lam sorry. i it is all a bit emotional for me at the moment. i am sorry. i lost my husband a year ago tomorrow. but he loved it, he absolutely loved it, didn't he? yes. that's why i still come. my my wife came up until the end of the year. she is too ill now to come, but she spent every session just read in smiles and lifted by the whole thing. great to see her

enjoying it. kind of likea kind of like a family, really, now, if they want to pick it up. it is astonishing how it brings us all together. there is me and my husband mike. can you guess which of us has dementia? that is one of the best things about the orchestra. when we are playing, all of that melts away. you see, dementia is difficult, but it doesn't mean you can't have fun or ta ke doesn't mean you can't have fun or take on new challenges, even the violin. one lady this week, she was thoroughly enjoying it. her face, one lady this week, she was thoroughly enjoying it. herface, i made you turn around and look at her, and it was lovely. quite true. we are able to chat together and swap, you know, how is your husband, how is he doing? we reassure each

other that we are not alone. what is happening, we are not imagining. it is part of the problem that we have. everybody is so nice, and also, a lot of them are in the same boat as what i am, you know, but luckily, i have only got it slight at the moment. and just keeping my fingers crossed that it does not get any worse. it can be very annoying, because you try and rememberthings, it can be very annoying, because you try and remember things, and unfortunately, unless it stands out, lam afraid unfortunately, unless it stands out, i am afraid it goes to the back of your mind. and it can be quite annoying, ican your mind. and it can be quite annoying, i can assure you. yes. it makes you feel good that they... you

know, they are not worried whether you play the ron noades or anything, which happens quite a bit anyway! —— the wrong note. hillary also has the early stages of dementia. she doesn't let it get her down. i went to see the consultant andl down. i went to see the consultant and i said, i keep losing memory. i can't remember people's names, and it's not that bad, you know. i was borderline. and they said, well, i said, can! borderline. and they said, well, i said, can i have a scan? and they said, can i have a scan? and they said, you want a scan? and i said, yes i want to know what is going on, and they found that the rain was... shrinking, did he say? —— of the brain.

when i see the poor folks at the university, i think how sad for them, because they must have gone a long time. they can't speak, but they do smile about. they can't have a conversation. you just cannot realise how they think about is what they feel. it isjust something that is there. several times through the week, he will start chanting, ooh, ah, ca nto na! will start chanting, ooh, ah, cantona! so will start chanting, ooh, ah, ca ntona! so it will start chanting, ooh, ah, cantona! so it is not a thing that just happens on the day. we will think about is whether the times during the week. this is the last time. fantastic. well done, everyone. fantastic. todayis today is a big day. we are putting oi'i today is a big day. we are putting ona today is a big day. we are putting on a concert for a live audience. we perform regularly, to prove to others what people with dementia are capable of. learning, performing,

and drawing crowds. we might not be the greatest musicians, but with the professionals alongside us, we do make a good sound. sometimes, it goes wrong, and it sounds better, if you see what i mean. and can we keep that bit in?! so, it will go wrong. inevitably, it will go wrong. it has brought me out a little bit more. not so withdrawn or anything like that. i don't know what is going to happen, so! that. i don't know what is going to happen, so i just that. i don't know what is going to happen, so ijust lived life to the full. you can't tell when he is strumming his ukelele, but richard is the player with the most advanced dementia. the days he isn't out, if we aren't doing anything, he just sits the days he isn't out, if we aren't doing anything, hejust sits in a chair, head and chest, and nods, and it is just so awful. it can be

tough. it can be tough. i get quite emotional at times. i could now, but i won't let myself! just not strong mentally, and that isn't me, but it is the situation we are in. it isn't one you expect. it is very debilitating, and wipes out everything, wipes or memories of the days, the nice times you have had, all gone. he is a lovely man. so, yes. we're just to all gone. he is a lovely man. so, yes. we'rejust to be all gone. he is a lovely man. so, yes. we're just to be together. all gone. he is a lovely man. so, yes. we'rejust to be together. —— glad to be together. it isa glad to be together. it is a bit worrying for both visibly see one that is a bit further on, visibly see one that is a bit furtheron, and visibly see one that is a bit further on, and you say, help, i hope not. very difficult not to surmise that you will be like that later. i try not to think about that. applause

now, finally, it isjust over 250 yea rs now, finally, it isjust over 250 years since the famous naturalist gilbert white recorded the first butterfly in hampshire, and that's a good enough excuse to ask expert matthew oates about these colourful wonders of nature. butterflies captivated me as a child, and that fascination blossomed and became my life's work. they have been admired, collected and recorded in southern england for 250 yea rs. and recorded in southern england for 250 years. each summer, i try to visit as many of the special places

where our rarer butterflies occur. today, selbourne is a place of pilgrimage for naturalist. they are attracted here by the memory, the living memory of the reverend gilbert white, the four —— forefather of natural history. this is where it all started. the first record of a butterfly in hampshire was of a male brimstone seen on march eight, 1766, by the reverend gilbert white here in selbourne in hampshire. a —— white regarded the brimstone as the harbinger of spring, and even today, it is a butterfly that people diligently look out for the first of spring. there are the familiar butterflies. we may not know all their names, but we know them for what they are, the souls of summer hours. i'm talking about garden butterflies

like peacocks, small tortoiseshell and red admiral. there are many less well—known butterflies, many of which are specialists of central southern england. they have dazzling names and belong to strange named families, like the skippers, which have fiery darts that wish whipped around at great speed. and the hare streams, which are rather elusive. on the downs, there are the exquisite chalk hill and done this blues. beautiful blue butterflies. and in the woods, the big, bold and brassy fritillaries. many of these butterflies are quite rare in restricted to certain places due to their specific needs, and some of those places have become our nature

reserves. just outside the village of selbourne is this nature reserve at norhill, one of the best loved butterfly localities in the british isles. no less than 46 of the 53 specialties of butterfly record and regularly in the uk have been found here within the last 40 years. that is mega! butterflies love heart, sunny weather in spring and summer. —— hot. 40 years ago was the long, hot summer hot. 40 years ago was the long, hot summer of 1976, where we briefly experienced a mediterranean climate, and butterflies that year abounded. they are creatures of the sun. one particular sun loving speciality is found at norhill during the spring. his grace the duke of

burgundy. i spent many years studying this little butterfly. it isa studying this little butterfly. it is a thug and a bully boy, but it is one of my favourites. if you have spent time searching the vegetation carefully, you might find the duke and duchess together. as soon as she is ready to fly, her grace the duchess of burgundy gravitates into male territory. there, she will be a rdently male territory. there, she will be ardently and male territory. there, she will be a rdently a nd insta ntly male territory. there, she will be ardently and instantly mated. there is no courtship in this species whatsoever. crucially, each species of butterfly needs a certain plant species on which to lay its eggs, and her grace needs cowslips and primroses. here in the new forest, the duke of burgundy became extinct three or four decades ago. but for about 150

yea rs, four decades ago. but for about 150 years, the new forest was the premier locality in britain for butterfly collecting, and the old collectors during the victorian and edwardian eras in particular, but way into the early 1960s, used to come here in droves, particularly in july. they were especially interested in the silver washed fritillary. and the green coloured form. and they collected drawers full, cabinets full. and they reside still in museums today. servicing the collecting obsession was a major local industry in the forest, for about 150 years, in terms of providing board and lodging, food and drink, transport

and guides, and also, dealers and breeders who sold unusual specimens, dead or alive, too often rather gullible collectors. in bygone days, many of the new forest woods looked like this. butterfly paradise. after the first world war, many of the new forest's oak woods were clear felled and replaced with fast—growing, non—native conifers in a glorious experiment of which our butterflies were unscheduled victims. the conifer words are too shady, and otherwise unsuitable, for most butterflies. national policy has now changed, gloriously. the policy is to restore broadleaf

woodland long—term and also to remove altogether some conifer plantations and restore the land to open heathlands. the open heaths of the new forest, purbeck, hampshire and the western weald a re purbeck, hampshire and the western weald are renowned for their specialist flora and fauna, including the exquisite minuscule silver studded blue, a sapphire jewel of a little butterfly. there is much we can do to help our so—called garden butterflies. these are highly mobile creatures that drift around both the countryside and the towns, constantly seeking new places in which to breed, and it is really important to give them feeding stations along their way. there is no better way of doing that then by growing bubbly is in your garden, and the good news is that bubbly is come in all shapes and

sizes nowadays. —— buddleias. there are even tiny patio tubs buddleias, and they work. they attract butterflies, bees, and at night, moths. mobility is everything to butterflies, and wildlife friendly gardening really does help that. butterfly populations boom and bust and air band flow according to the d i ktats of and air band flow according to the diktats of the weather, and if we have learnt anything about butterflies over the last 250 years, it is that we love them, we care deeply about them, we value them for their beauty, for the special places they take us to, and as symbols of freedom. butterflies need us, and we need

them. well, that is it for now, and indeed, for the series. we are back on bbc one in the autumn. until then, bye—bye. good afternoon. it is the 1st of april, and appropriately, we have quite a few showers in the forecast. some sunshine as well, but when showers come along, they could be heavy. we thoroughly seen a few rumbles of thunder. there is a satellite picture. quite whether some parts of the north of england

in particular. some styles of sunshine, but speckled cloud produces some showers. the odd rumble of thunder to go with it. heavy downpours around, but in those brighter interludes, 15—16 into the early evening. quite whether some parts of northern england into the evening. north about, more in the way of dry and brighter interludes, but still a scattering of showers for the north of england and into scotland. the good news is that things are quieting down this evening, and overnight, the showers tend to fade away, so dry weather is developing. the winds will fall on the quite like as well. we might see some fog patches developing, but it will also turn quite chilly overnight. major towns and cities into single figures, and a touch of frost in more rural parts of northern ireland and scotland. quite chilly into parts of england and wales as well. chilly start to a decent second part of the weekend.

high pressure building in should settle things in quite nicely. it should be a chilly but bright start for the day on sunday, but a good amount of sunshine. cloud amounts increase across central and eastern parts, bringing the odd rogue shower into the afternoon, but most places should be fine, and dry with lengthy spells of sunshine. temperatures, 12-13 spells of sunshine. temperatures, 12—13 for belfast in cardiff, 16—17 in the south—eastern corner. with light winds, feeling good indeed. it looks good for the boat races through the afternoon. light winds are not too choppy waters, the skies should be bright and temperatures reasonable as well. and looks good for the premier league action tomorrow afternoon. no problems at swa nsea tomorrow afternoon. no problems at swansea or arsenal. a quick summary of the weekend. showers around the day to day. chilly overnight tonight, but the second part looks very good, dry and bright weather. looking ahead towards the start of the new week, we see so wet, windy

weather creeping into northern ireland, but largely dry and bright elsewhere in the uk, particularly in the south—eastern corner. a breeze coming in from the south, temperatures doing quite well, 16 or 17 degrees through the afternoon. this is bbc news. the headlines at 2pm: seniorfigures in gibraltar have demanded that the british government stands firm and resists moves by spain to regain sovereignty of the rock. the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, tweeted his support: "the uk remains implacable and rock—like in our support for gibraltar." research says that nearly half the people who used government help—to—buy scheme to buy a house did not need it. bbc news learns that only 5% of existing prison staff in england and wales will get new pay allowances of £5,000. also in this hour — the row at the heart of the eurovision song contest the hosts ukraine face expulsion

from future competitions unless russia's entrant is allowed into the country.
