will arrive in the south korean capital this morning for talks on the north's nuclear ambitions. our us correspondent laura bicker has more. pyongyang is being warned. these naval warships are within striking distance of the north korean capital. the message— the us is ready to act if provoked. north korea is a problem and the problem will be taken care of. north korea has two restrain its behaviour. the key time for behaviour is now. china is the key. these talks lay the groundwork. donald trump said he received assurances that they would help put an end to the nuclear ambitions of north korea and believe thatis ambitions of north korea and believe that is why he has dispatched warships. china is already applying pressure at its border and placed a ban on imports of north korean coal.

if president trump is weighing his options, his best hope is in beijing. the us could also push for more un sanctions but critics believe that punishes the people of north korea, not its leaders. the pentagon has denied any suggestion ofa pentagon has denied any suggestion of a pre—emptive military strike. but donald trump's actions in syria prove he is a president prepared to ta ke prove he is a president prepared to take action quickly and without warning. us troops in afghanistan are advancing after the dropping of are advancing after the dropping of a massive bunker boston bomb known as the mother of all bombs. they display of firepower from the world's strongest military thatjust might makea world's strongest military thatjust might make a one make think twice about launching any attack. meanwhile, the vice president, mike pence is on his way to south korea to reassure asian allies and offer them an ironclad commitment to come to their defence. his message is that the us will do whatever is necessary to keep the world safe. our foreign correspondent, steve evans, joins us from seoul. steve, what has been the reaction

there to this latest attempt by north korea to test launch a missile? the reaction to the missile launch has been predictable. condemnation. the reaction from the white house is interesting. no reaction, basically, they are not commentating. the sense you get is that the time of words is over and now is the time for action. the big question here is what kind of action? 25 million people in south korea live within range of north korean artillery. and the south korean government will tell mr pence that if they take pre—emptive military action against north korea then there is the risk of that blowing up into a serious war. the situation here is much more

complicated than it is, say, with bombing in syria or afghanistan and you get the sense that washington is now starting to realise that. thank you very much. we will speak to you again later. we'll be speaking to former foreign secretary sir malcolm rifkind about the situation in north korea at about 10 past 7. theresa may has used her first easter message as prime minister to say the uk is coming together after the brexit vote. the pm said opportunities would emerge from britain's decision to leave the european union thanks to the country's shared ambitions and values. she also stressed her belief in the importance of religious tolerance and freedom of speech. let us come together as a nation, confident in our values and united in our commitment to the sill the obligations that we have one another. let us work together to build that bright future that we wa nt build that bright future that we want for our country. and together,

build a stronger, sarah britten that truly does work for everyone. —— stronger, sarah britten. fairer britain. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn used his easter message to urge people not to standby in the face of society's problems. the leader of the opposition said easter should be a time to reflect on the current challenges, both at home and abroad. mr corbyn called for action on homelessness, a crisis in the nhs and the impact of war. it would be easy to retreat into our private lives because of challenges that seem overwhelming, allow ourselves to be divided and blame others. we need to respond to these problems through action and support for social justice, problems through action and support for socialjustice, peace and reconciliation. the evacuation of syrian residents from towns under siege has resumed, after dozens were killed in a suicide car bomb yesterday on the outskirts of aleppo. the attack happened at a check point where thousands of civilians were waiting to be moved to safety. in the past few hours people in turkey have begun voting in a referendum which could

significantly increase the powers of president erdogan. if approved, the role of prime minister would be scrapped, as our correspondent mark lowen explains. a divisive campaign has ended and turkey now faces the biggest political choice in its modern history. both sides made a frantic push to the end. voter turnout will be decisive in the outcome. the yes side believes a stronger presidency, scrapping the post of prime minister, will make the government more efficient. if they win, the president will receive enhanced powers to appoint ministers, choose judges, issue degrees and dissolve parliament. a human chain by the no side who say the reforms would remove parliamentary checks and is and that an authoritarian president erdogan is it destroyed was left of turkish democracy. it has been a

traumatic of months in turkey with an attempted coup and repeated terror attacks that have killed around 500 people. the government says a stronger leader could face down terrorist. critics argue that the president has failed to keep turkey safe. and so a crucial country at the geopolitical crossroads is deciding its future path. the outcome will be felt far beyond the borders. more than 5,000 people have been rescued from boats off the libyan coast over the past two days. the italian coastguard says the good spring weather has been tempting more migrants to attempt the crossing to europe. protests have been held across the united states — calling on president trump to release details on his taxes. at least 14 people were arrested in berkeley, california, when demonstrations turned violent. thousands of people held marches in more than 100 locations, to coincide with the traditional deadline for americans to file their tax returns. the president broke a tradition by not releasing his paperwork during the election campaign.

an italian woman — who was thought to be the oldest person in the world — has died at the age of 117. emma morano from northern italy was the last person verified to have been born in the nineteenth century. helena lee reports. here she is celebrating her 117th birthday in november last year surrounded by family and friends at her home in northern italy. asked how she felt on reaching ii7, she said she felt well. born in 1899, emma morano's life spanned three centuries. the eldest of three children, she outlived all of her younger siblings. she survived an abusive marriage, the loss of her only son, two world wars, and more than 90 italian governments. and she worked in a factory until she was 65. so, what was her secret?

emma morano thought it was probably her diet. translation: i eat two eggs a day, and that's it. i ate cookies. i don't eat much because i have no teeth. always eating the same things, always at the same time of day. her doctor of 27 years thought there were other reasons too for her long life. translation: the first factor is genetics. it is her own condition, a natural phenomenon, as it happens around the world. her personality would be fundamental as well. the mayor of the small city in northern italy where she lived said she had an extraordinary life, and she will always be remembered for her strength to move forward. helena lee, bbc news. we had the relative of somebody who

was 117 on yesterday. don't quite know yet if that person is now the old est know yet if that person is now the oldest in the world but thereabouts. just do think that she was born in the 19th century. blows your mind. we will look at the newspapers now. starting on the front page of the sunday times. most of the paper ‘s lead with the same story this morning, the ongoing activity in north korea. a display of their power during the parade over the weekend. the latest missile test, we are told, at least according to south korea, has failed. but the ansey has been upped and it is a war of words between donald trump and north korea. sunday times is claiming that donald trump is ready to strike at the nuclear arsenal of north korea. the sunday telegraph has a lot of different stories. north korea here, an interview with

laura trott over here, the 24—year—old who was so successful with her husband ‘s... sorry, she is now laura kenney. this is an interesting story down here. the term of five former archbishops of canterbury have been discovered by builders were digging a part of the church, lifted up a few paving stones and discovered a secret parsonage way downplay crypt. they found the bishops mitres on top of some of the tombs. the front page of the observer ran with a slightly different story. looking at the free schools as the government heralded as their big plan for education in the past few years. the observer says they have their hands on information that suggest it is only the wealthy regions that benefit from free schools. also the ongoing i’ow from free schools. also the ongoing row but on comments made by one of

the columnists. another picture from john yang. —— pyongyang. this is serious stuff, this uk brawl, enabling farmers to an act. that will be scrapped as part of the brexit process. the story from another number of papers concerns a television chef and his son who is quite unwell. his wife had a serious illness as well and he is discussing that in the sunday mirror this morning. also on the front page of mail. and i am sure it you get lots of lines like this, he was watching the drama unfold via an hour on his phone. —— and app on his phone. and

another story there on the escalating situation in north korea on the front page of the mail on sunday. it is 14 minutes past six and you are watching breakfast. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: north korea has tried — and failed — to launch a test missile, a day after a massive parade to show its military strength. theresa may has used her easter message to urge people to "unite", as britain prepares to leave the european union. also coming up in the programme: we'll be joined by double 0lympic gold—medallist, joanna rowsell shand, as we look ahead to the final day of action at the cycling world championships in hong kong. here's philip with a look at this morning's weather. the headline gives it away. it was a lovely day yesterday. we have always

been suggesting that the easter weekend was going to be something of a mixed bag and this is the forecast for today. a little bit cloudier than yesterday and some rain. some of you might welcome the rain. there is an area of high pressure in the atla ntic is an area of high pressure in the atlantic which is starting its wake and is already manifesting on the western side of scotland and northern ireland. the question is, will it come anywhere near you? if you are right near the heart of the british isles, there is a rare chance that you might get to see it. it won't amount to very much in some parts and for the northern parts of scotland, you have your own supply of showers here. the central belt, it will pull away after this. probably at its heaviest in the northern parts of wales and the western facing slopes of the pennines. at this stage, around about lunchtime, down to at east anglia and the southern counties, unc very much. this south—western quarter went see very much in the way of rain —— you won't see. if you

are anywhere near the great swathe of cloud, it will feel cold and pretty miserable. then we are off and running into easter monday and with the wind beginning to go around towards the north, well, in that going to stand decidedly chilly because it is already called up towards shetland. some of the cold will begin to drift through the south of scotland. brighter skies follow one behind. those figures are locked in single figures. further south, temperatures pretty where we have been for a number of days that is the future comes further south, it spreads and the risk of frost. some areas will see —5 in scotland. certainly, for the first half of the four coming week, there would be some frosty nights with high—pressure beginning to develop. i think we will see some sunny spells. a bit of a fly in the

ointment for some today with the rate that some frosty nights —— rain. i will be alert to not falling into the trap that assuming that the picture behind... i had my suspicions. easter day. lots of easter wrecks in your house. the easter bunny could bea your house. the easter bunny could be a rising. a lot of people when they hear it will grow. cracks are beginning in the popularity of the humble easter egg as retailers stop providing gifts. let's look at some of the pictures that you have kindly sent to us. branches are decorated by all sorts of decorations. i'm not sure if they are home—made. the same

decorations come out every year. very impressive. lesley dorling sent us her tree and said: "we have always decorated our homes at this time of year, more decorations in stores just means we have more choice". anne chege has opted for this lovely easter bouquet. and anne berardinelli sent us a photo of her tree — complete with bunny decorations. a p pa re ntly apparently these days you can buy carrot shaped easter lights. we have easter crackers last weekend. did you? you can tell us and share with us you? you can tell us and share with us how you are celebrating easter and easter presents for children. when did that become a thing? well, they get plenty of eggs. lots of chocolates. we will have more clear at 630. now it is time for the film review.

with simon mccoy and james king. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is james king. what do we have this week? first up, fast cars and tight t—shirts. it is the return of vin diesel in the fast and the furious 8. from the ridiculous to the sublime, park chan—wook‘s glamorous and amorous the handmaiden. and broadbent and rampling re—live their teenage years in the pensieve the sense of an ending. so fast & furious 8. have you seen the other seven? a couple. so we are onto number eight but still an impressive cast? impressive cast, impressive box office returns. this is such a huge franchise, this one will be huge. the interesting thing

about the franchise is where they go with it. they have to give audiences what they want, which generally speaking are the big action scenes which is the car chases. the big point of difference this time round, is that vin diesel who plays dominic toretto, the lead character has gone rogue. he has gone to the dark side. he is hooked up with a superb criminal called cipher played by charlize theron, who is a hacker extroadinaire. he is playing the bad guy again. we have a clip of them. this is what vin diesel does for most of the movie which is looked puzzled. here he is. let me ask you something, dom, what is the best thing in life? family. no, it is not. not if you are being honest. it is the ten seconds between start and finish when you're not thinking about anything, no family, no obligations, just you, being free. i got to tell you, this

whole saving the world, robin hood nonsense you have been doing recently, it is not you. be who you are. why live only a quarter of a mile at a time when you can live your whole life that way. i think we get a sense there. i'm just looking at the cast list, helen mirren? helen mirren playing jason statham's mum, who would have thought it? i don't think helen mirren ever thought it, judging by her performance! she is actually funny in it. it is a deliberately over the top cockney sparrow performance from her. jason statham provides the best moment of the film. it is a scene where he is fighting the bad guys on a plane, at the same time as trying to save a baby in a carrying cot, so he has to punch people one second and the next second look after the baby.

it is like something jackie chan would have done. it is almost like ballet. it is an entertaining scene in the movie. a lot of it is car chases. that is fine, that is what people want. is it doing anything that different to the other ones? i am not sure. there is a formula and it is sticking closely to it. what will number nine look like? i hope number nine will shock us. i hope it will take more risks. i enjoyed number eight, it did a good job but the problem i had is, it was occasionally treading water and i wanted more surprises. although this will be massive, i hope the next one will take more risks. let's talk about the handmaiden. this is a film you really like? this is great. it is inspired by the book fingersmith by sarah waters. there was a bbc adaptation of it. a victorian english setting. now it is directed by park chan—wook who is south korea's most respected film director.

he has moved the action from victorian england to 1930s japanese—occupied korea. but the story is generally the same. a young girl from a criminal background goes to work for the lady of the manor but she is actually there to swindle her out of her fortune. unlike the book, it really relishes the power of storytelling, in other words, it is the twists and the turns, it is the horror, the comedy, the romance, it throws everything into the mix and does it in a really luxurious and lush way. i want to call it a romp but that sounds throwaway and it is not. it is a costume drama? a costume drama but heartfelt. although it is fun to watch because there is so much going on, it is intelligent and heartfelt and tender. ultimately, it is a romance. it is a beautiful,

tender love story. absolutely beautiful to watch, highly recommended. and a major twist? at least one? at least one. i had read the book so i knew the twists. the end of the handmaiden, the movie was different to fingersmith. even though i knew the twists, it was still a joy to watch. let's move on to the sense of an ending. another literary adaptation. julian barnes wrote the book which won the booker prize. in 2011. now we have the movie with jim broadbent. he plays tony webster, who is semi retired and works in a camera shop. out of the blue he gets a letter saying the mother of his ex—girlfriend from when he was a teenager has died and he has been left something in her will. this gets him reminiscing and thinking back to his teenage years when he was at school and college and that girlfriend and her mother. in the present day, that ex—girlfriend is played by charlotte rampling so here isjim and charlotte getting to know one another again.

let's take a look. are you married, itake it? not married. never? mysterious to a fault. i'm divorced, in case you were wondering. i wasn't, but i am sorry to hear that. 0n the contrary, very happily so. the best decision we ever undertook. in fact, she recently accused me of having built a shrine to you, no less. a shop, when i told her that it was you who gave me my first leica. and what did you say? a remarkable cast. the only criticism i have read about the sense of an ending is a criticism of the ending! it is certainly a story that deals with quite subtle and nuanced

arguments about memory and the past and subjectivity, so in a way it can never have a big punch of an ending. in a way, the ending had to be slightly anti—climactic, because that is sort of what it is about, but when you have performances like jim broadbent, charlotte rampling who does stern and mysterious better than anyone else, when you have that calibre of performers in a movie, however subtle and nuanced and slow the story is, and it is slow, you are automatically drawn in. i liked that it dealt with quite abstract subjects. and it goes back to the ‘605? that is an easy transition? it takes awhile to get to know the story if you have not read the book already, so it takes awhile to work where the penny will drop but for me that is part of the joy of the film that you have to work a bit to get into it. and with jim broadbent and charlotte rampling you will not go far wrong? jim broadbent is more of a curmudgeon in this movie but he does it row well. now, you have chosen raw.

mark waxed lyrical about this. it is an arthouse cannibal movie. he would be upset if i did not mention it again this week! i really liked it. it does have an unwavering commitment to unsettling the audience. it is set in a veterinary college about a teenage girl who discovers her taste for flesh, her taste for cannibalism, and it is genuinely creepy and weird. the lighting, the music, the performances, it has this sort of industrial brutalist backdrop and surreal moments, and it is not often with horror films you can say ijust haven't seen anything like it before, and it genuinely disturbed me. but raw did that and did it in a beautiful way. it is an elegant film. she starts as a vegetarian!

she starts as a vegetarian but things happen at college which make her realise she is perhaps not quite as vegetarian as she thought. 0n the squeamish scale, it sounds like something, where would you pitch it in taste? that is the wrong phrase! it is squeamish because it is beautifully done. because of the elegance that makes it more horrific. sometimes if it is straight out blood and guts slasher movie it is so in your face and there is nothing to it. when it is more subtle, that is actually creepier. let's move on, please! to dvd. this is sully, the story of the pilot who managed to land his plane on the hudson river. it is directed by clint eastwood. it was raved about at the time. and i will still rave about it. tom hanks stars as sully. although you expect it to be about the crash landing in 2009, it is in there, you see that,

you experience that, but it also shows you what happened before. it also shows you sully afterwards. it shows you the investigation which happened afterwards. he has to prove that he did the right thing, that he is a hero, and of course tom hanks can do the everyday down—to—earth reasonable hero probably better than anyone else. so it is not perhaps the movie you would expect but i think that makes it all the better, because it does delve a lot deeper. and it is that quiet unfussy... unfussy is a great word for it. clint eastwood does that very well. he brings movies in on budget and on time. he does the job intelligently and you see all of that in this movie. james, always a pleasure. thank you. james king there. that is it for this week, thanks for watching. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast

with rachel burden and roger johnson. coming up before seven philip will have the weather. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. an attempt by north korea to launch a test missile has failed, a day after it issued a nuclear warning to the us. american officials believe it exploded within seconds of take off. the us vice—president mike pence will arrive in south korea later this morning for talks on the north's nuclear ambitions. it comes just hours after a massive military parade was held in pyongyang as a show of force. theresa may has used her first easter message as prime minister to say the uk is coming together after the brexit vote. the pm said opportunities would emerge from britain's decision to leave the european union thanks to the country's shared ambitions and values.

the labour leaderjeremy corbyn used his easter message to urge people not to stand by in the face of society's problems. the leader of the opposition said easter should be a time to reflect on the current challenges, both at home and abroad. mr corbyn called for action on homelessness, a crisis in the nhs and the impact of war. the evacuation of syrian residents from towns under siege has resumed, after dozens were killed in a suicide car bomb yesterday on the outskirts of aleppo. the attack happened at a check point where thousands of civilians were waiting on buses to be moved to safety. the people of turkey have begun voting in a referendum that could see sweeping new powers given to president erdogan. if approved, the role of prime minister would be scrapped. mr erdogan argues the changes would provide stability, but his opponents fear they would lead to a more authoritarian country. more than 5,000 people have been rescued from boats off the libyan an italian woman, thought to have been the oldest person in the world, has died aged 117.

emma morano was the last verified person to be born in the 19th century, and worked until she was 75. she said her secret to longevity was eating raw eggs every day — and avoiding marriage. in that case, i'm in trouble. i do not like raw eggs. she walked to 75 yea rs not like raw eggs. she walked to 75 years and yet she has still retired for a2. that is incredible. harry came, he is breaking records, isn't he? another 20 goal season. fantastic for him and great for totte n ha m to fantastic for him and great for tottenham to have him back. his back straightaway and scoring goals and he could be pivotalfor them. we will see if they can take chelsea right down to the wire.

we will see if they can take chelsea right down to the wire. tottenham have moved to within four points of the top of the premier league after a comfortable victory over bournemouth. manchester city are up to third; and after being involved in controversy off the field, ross barkley helped everton move into the european places. adam wild has the details. so much of sport is about belief. and on this kind of form, you might believe that the spurs were capable of almost anything. a fantastic period in our club, a fantastic moment. the belief in the way that we play is fantastic. now we just wait, make sure it is done. the points are important for us. well, that dream is to catch chelsea at the top. a a—0 win against bournemouth reducing the gap to four points. chelsea should be concerned because time are coming for you. behind them, manchester city have 110w behind them, manchester city have now reached a third. the captain is

back from injury and inspiring them toa back from injury and inspiring them to a 3—0 win at southampton. at the other end of the table, any end remaining belief is beginning to fade. sunderland managed a draw against west ham. in truth, they probably needed more. swansea, they certainly did, defeated by this goal they remain in some trouble as do hull city. they lost 3—1 at stoke thanks to a very special goal. 0h, briand! what an outstanding goal! crystal palace improved their hopes of survival, coming back from 2—0 down to draw a against leicester. and after a troubled week for a sparkly he managed to focus his mind back onto football matters. his deflected shot helping everton two 01’ deflected shot helping everton two or 3—1 win against burnley. they now go above manchester united who play chelsea this afternoon.

so today sees liverpool take on west brom, and then chelsea will try and move seven points clear at the top of the table against manchester united. they are a good team, strong physically and technically and for this reason we must pay them good attention because united also want to play to find a place for the next champions league and to arrive in the best form on the table. and they have the possibility to do this. they have a certain style of play, they stick to it, they do it very well, they do it very well. not every team defence with 11 players,

they defend with 11 players and not every team is so objective in their counter—attacks. they are very objective in their counter—attacks. and they have individual players out of the context of the game who can also resolve problems. so they are very strong team. in the scottish premiership, champions celtic face ross county this lunchtime. meanwhile, dundee's problems are escalating. they lost for the seventh match in a row. they were beaten 2—0 at home to hamilton and now occupy the relegation play off position. motherwell leapfrogged them by beating inverness a—2. there were also wins for rangers and aberdeen. ricky burns failed to unify the super—lightweight division in glasgow last night. the scot‘s wba title was taken by ibf and ibo championjulius indongo. the namibian was unbeaten in 21 fights prior to this and forced burns onto the back foot for much of the fight. burns had rallied in the fifth and sixth rounds but all three judges awarded the fight to indongo. a mercedes driver is on pole position for today's

bahrain grand prix, but it isn't lewis hamilton. his new team—mate this season, valtteri bottas, snatched the front spot byjust two hundredths of a second in qualifying. it's the first pole of the finn's career. hamilton will start from second on the grid, with ferrari's sebastian vettel third. iam i am really happy. it is the first pole position in my career. my first 110w pole position in my career. my first now in formula 1. it took a few races but i got it and hopefully it is the first of many. leicester tigers have strengthened their hold on fourth place in rugby union's premiership with a bonus point win over newcastle. england scrum half ben youngs scored the crucial fourth try ten minutes from time to ensure his side ran out emphatic winners by 30 points to three. leicester are in pole position now to secure the last playoff spot

after nearest rivals bath were beaten at worcester. gloucester also won, they beat sale. munster narrowly beat ulster 22—20 to guarantee their place in the pro 12 playoffs. dave 0'callaghan scored the decisive try. ulster can still make the top four with only two games remaining this season. there were also wins for cardiff, scarlets and leinster. fergal 0'brien was thrashed in his opening match in at the world snooker championship in sheffield. the world number one threatened a will whitewash as he wrapped up victory ten friends— two. he will play either ryan day or a chinese player in the next round. sullivan is finding things a little more difficult in his first round match. he was 5—1 up at one point with this, the first century break of this, the first century break of this year's tournament, but the qualifier has fought back and is now only one frame behind. you can

follow that match across the bbc. now, which sportsmen are the bravest? car drivers, someone in extreme sports? but you would never think of putting golfers along the sort of risks. this may change your mind. this alligator is what was lying in wait for ian poulter after his shot at the ibc heritage in south carolina. he had to take a penalty drop is ball going in the water and was worried that the alligator may snatch his club. his caddie scared the reptile away. he double bogeyed the whole, unsurprisingly, and ended upjust three shots away from lead. —— hole. that is brilliant. what a brilliant golfing excuse. thank you very much indeed. we will stay with the sporting theme for the next couple of minutes. britain will be aiming to add to its medal tally on the

final day of the track cycling world championships today in hong kong. a fourth medal was secured yesterday in the women's medicine. the second of the games and she will compete in today's points race. we will talk to a double 0lympic gold—medallist now. you have been following the action, thank you very much for coming in. you are a bright and early because begin soon and you will cover it for the bbc. have we done as well as expected? a relatively inexperienced squad. a mix of youth and experience so we squad. a mix of youth and experience so we have had four medal with and so so we have had four medal with and so far, three have come from our perry in rio, the they performed really well, and has another chance today. she already has two silvers this week and i know she wants gold. some may be disappointed but at this stage of the olympic cycle we aim to peakfor stage of the olympic cycle we aim to peak for the olympics once every four and yous and now is the time to

ta ke four and yous and now is the time to take your foot off the gas a little bit. if that means easing back and focusing on tokyo than that seems to have worked for us for the past three 0lympic have worked for us for the past three olympic games and hopefully it will happen again. the silver in the madison was significant yesterday. the first time the women had competed in that event. what if the madison? similar to the points raised in that you have springs every ten laps and the first four over the line gets points. the difference is you raise in a team of two so it is kind of like a relay. you switch teammates by doing a handspring to bring your teammate in so handspring to bring your teammate in so what is this reason, one person at the top of the track recovering. you need to watch it to understand. it isa you need to watch it to understand. it is a good spectacle and it is good that we now finally have the women's version in the world championship. it is taken far too long in my opinion but thankfully they have now got parity between men and women at the world championships. your teammate from rio, laura kenney, is not racing in

this but she gave an interview today said and said that she will target tokyo. having had a baby, that is a big ask, isn't it? i guess if anyone could do it it would beat her. big ask, isn't it? i guess if anyone could do it it would beat henm big ask, isn't it? i guess if anyone could do it it would beat her. it is a big ask but we had a multiple paralympic champion who made an awesome comeback and received three gold medals in rio. laurie could ta ke gold medals in rio. laurie could take inspiration from sarah... yes, thatis take inspiration from sarah... yes, that is us there. jessica there as well. she'll won a silver in rio. a few women who have shown it is possible. it will obviously be a challenge but laura is a great challenge but laura is a great challenge and i sure she will rise to that. we talk about some of the male cyclists? reiner wins missed out on a medal in the spread that he looks like he has potential? he went to rio as a reserve rider, part of the squad but did not race. people

talk about really say that every single rider medal but there were actually riders out there who were reserves at the end of the day and i a lwa ys reserves at the end of the day and i always thought ryan had a huge future ahead of him. next season, he has been talked up a lot and he surprised himself yesterday reaching the final of the spring. in rio he finished fourth, the worst place to finish, it is a good week for them in general but a tough time overall for british cycling. all sorts of allegations being thrown at it. doping allegations are still hanging in the airand, doping allegations are still hanging in the air and, of course, investigation into the culture surrounding british cycling and early reports have come out and suggested that there is a culture of fear. does any of that ring true to you? using changes need to be made? i think the fact that people are coming out with accusations shows that it coming out with accusations shows thatitis coming out with accusations shows that it is not perfect and changes need to be made and we should strive for perfection. we, well, iam retired, but i think british cycling

are being proactive. for me, the feari are being proactive. for me, the fear i had as an athlete was fear of me getting ill or injured or not being good enough. i would not say i feared the staff in that way but everybody had different experiences and sexism has also been a big issue that has come out but i genuinely feel that my medal was worth just as much of my male counterparts. they are funded by uk sports to win medals at the litigation is and i do not think uk sports say men's medals, they say medals. my medals we re medals, they say medals. my medals were worth just as much as those of the men. did you experienced sexism that? as a cyclist internationally, yes, but sport internationally, still, it is hugely sexist. what kind of things? there is no minimum wage for road riders in cycling. the track finally has a quality and events. when i started cycling, in

beijing in 2008, there were seven events in the olympics were men and sorry for women which... how was that possible in 2008? that was ridiculous. that was not the fault of british cycling. despite that, they were still our talent spotting. i was spotted at school, i went to an all women school, they came to my schooling carried out these standardised tests and they were looking to develop women despite... the big thing for me, the big thing to me was 0lympic events. seven for men, three for women, how could that be? do you miss it? i think! men, three for women, how could that be? do you miss it? i think i will a lwa ys be? do you miss it? i think i will always miss it a little bit. i have been enjoying watching this week in supporting my teammates but my body has worked very very hard for ten yea rs has worked very very hard for ten years and i have achieved everything i possibly could. we still make you wa ke i possibly could. we still make you wake up early and be on tv, nonetheless. you can watch coverage of the championships from seven o'clock this morning on the bbc website. bbc two has a highlights programme. you can watch coverage of the world track cycling championships here's philip with a look at this morning's weather.

the weather is not really in today. you are still making me get up in the morning. cloudier, certainly, today. some rain around as well for some of you and some of you already experiencing the rain, especially across northern ireland and the western side of scotland. it is this area of cloud. it doesn't look that scary that it will put a dampener on some today, that's for sure. starting life across the north—western quarter of the british isles. it will take a dive down and across the british isles today. if you are in the flight path right through the heart of the british isles, there is a fair chance you will see some rain. not everybody will see some rain. not everybody will see some rain. not everybody will see it. the far north of scotla nd will see it. the far north of scotland is clear with a scattering of showers. the rain won't be around the central bait —— central belt all day. nor northern ireland. it is

moving, as i suggested. it is in east anglia this morning. the south—western quarter, the southern parts, you will see some rain. more clout than you saw yesterday. there goes that area of cloud, gradually through the afternoon and on into the evening, working its way. if you need rain as some of the gardens in the south do, it probably won't top you up. it's not the most potent of whether features. come easter monday, the winds are no longer west and are more north. that will drag some of the cold air that is already sitting across shetland ever further south across the british isles. it will take its time but eventually will take its time but eventually will seek its way south. maybe behind that little band there of showers. a day of sunny spells and showers. a day of sunny spells and showers may be across the british isles and the clearer skies tucking in behind the weather feature. clearer skies by day, lovely.

clearer skies by day, lovely. clearer skies by night, gardeners, look at this. widespread frost. that is one of the themes of the forthcoming week. some hard frost across all parts of the british isles that there will be some sunny spells as well. a bit of a mixed picture, thank you, phil. the news coming up in a few moments here on breakfast. but first it's time for click. we are now more surveilled than we have ever been. cities are covered in cctv cameras. authorities are gathering data on its citizens. it would be all too easy to confuse the real world with a sci—fi dystopia. mr marks, my mandate of the district

of columbia pre—crime division. i'm placing you under arrest for the future murder of sarah marks and donald dubin, that was due to take place today, april 22, at 0800 hrs and four minutes. no, i didn't do anything. in the movie minority report, the pre—crimes unit race to arrest would—be offenders before they have a chance to commit their crimes. now, they use psychics but it turns out, something similar is being attempted using big data. in chicago, where the violent crime rate has exploded, law enforcement has been forced to try out unconventional ideas to combat crime. authorities are attempting to combine various technologies in an effort to predict where and when violent crimes might occur. marc cieslak went to chicago to find out more. violent crime in chicago has seen a dramatic increase. radio: a 15-year-old male, shot in the neck. both shots fired at her. shots were almost indiscriminate. shots fired. we need a wagon with a body bag also. the drug industry is what helps them fuel the violence,

by being able to pay for their activity. in 2016, 726 murders were committed in the city, a 19—year high. that's more than the number of murders committed in new york and los angeles combined. chicago is a city most famously known as the windy city. more recently, it has earned a nickname that few residents are proud of, though. they are calling it chiraq. that's because gun crime is so extreme in some neighbourhoods, they are comparing them to war zones. the issue has received increasingly negative attention in the us, with president trump tweeting, "if chicago doesn't fix the horrible carnage going on, i will send in the feds". the response from chicago's police department is a new initiative, driven by technology, which aims to predict where crimes are likely to occur. the university of chicago's urban labs are assisting the police in its efforts to integrate this technology into its operations. we have a lot of expertise in analysing crime patterns

and trends in the city, from years of working with data on the city of chicago. and so we are leveraging that expertise to really help the police department think about where it should be allocating its resources to be most effective. so what kind of data or information is it that the police are providing you with here at the crime lab? we have a number of datasets that we work with from them, including data on crime patterns, actual crime incidents, arrests, victimisations. a number of different methods of analysis are used, including machine learning and predictive analytics. this is software which takes large volumes of data and tries

to identify trends and patterns. these trends can then help predict where a crime might occur next. this is a heat map of homicides in district 7. and we are looking at this year over year, from 2011 to 2016. and basically, what you see on the map is the darker the red, the more concentrated homicides were in a given area. what sort of factors are you finding are influencing crime in these particular neighbourhoods? yeah, so, most of the prediction that we're doing is space—based. so, yeah, it's locations that are nearby that are high—risk locations, like a 24—hour liquor store, a gas station, where people tend to congregate. the weather seems to be playing a very big role in the data. you know, we've just had a beautiful weekend and we just had significantly worse amount of shootings than we had previous weekends. the police are using these predictive tools to inform

the deployment of officers and resources to areas where they think crimes are likely to occur. neighbourhoods in chicago's west and south side are some of the city's most violent. it is these neighbourhoods which have been chosen to test the technology in a pilot scheme. we are just driving through chicago's south side now. now, this is one of the areas which has experienced the highest incidence of violent crime, mainly gun and drug related. to see how all of this different kit works, i'm on my way to a police station which acts as a command centre, bringing all of the technologies together. heading up the project is deputy chiefjonathan lewen of the chicago pd. so this is our strategic decision support center. so this is where you bring all of your different technologies together? it is. this is the first time that this level of technology integration has been done, not only here, i think, but around the country. so what can we see on the screens we have got around us? so, all around us are various sensor

inputs, cameras, gunshot detection. the screen behind you is something called hunch lab, which is a geographic prediction tool that brings a lot of data into a model to predict risk for future violence. so what you are seeing on these little boxes here are areas where the model is recommending that we deploy resources and implement strategies to fight some of the violence it is predicting. and then it is telling us that we should deploy resources, visit businesses, do foot patrol, various tactics. shot spotterjust very quickly triangulates possible gunshot events using acoustic sensors that are located throughout the district, and it shows the officer exactly where, accurate to within 25 yards, that gunshot event occurred. and you can actually play the audio of the gunshot event, which we'll do now. so here's an event with nine rounds fired. gunfire. and in this case, you can see the location is actually the back yard of a house, so that's going to be very accurate. so this is the decision support system, and this is where everything

comes together in one place. it will soon be available in the hands of officers on smartphones. so in this case, we are looking at a 911 call of a robbery thatjust occurred at 7600 south marchfield. there are four cameras within a 300 foot radius of that call. here is the real—time video from those cameras. these guys here, these are possible suspects, or... these are people that might possibly be involved ? potentially. how do we know that this is identifying the right people? we find that they are very accurate. we find when we test and measure them, that the model's recommendations, because we can backdate it, we can look at a known outcome period and see how it performs. and we know that it's picking the right people because we know that it is accurate. but does it make mistakes? of course. that's where the people come in. but some of this technology is proving to be controversial, especially this. it's called the strategic subjects list. where hunch lab is concerned with predicting crimes and locations, this list is concerned with predicting crimes and individual people.

so this is a risk model. just like hunch lab is a place—based risk model, this is a person—based risk model that is looking at variables such as arrest activity, so have you been arrested for a gun offence in the past? have you yourself been shot? so it's using some crime victim data. is your trend line in criminal activity increasing or decreasing? what was your age at the time you were last arrested? it is using those variables. nothing about race, nothing about gender, nothing about ethnicity. it is using objective measures to determine risk for a specific person. it's basically telling us that this person is 500 times more likely than a member of the general population to be involved in a shooting, either as a victim or an offender. so in here, we can see his affiliations, his gang affiliations. he's a gang member. we can see also his, is this his arrest record that we can see here?

his arrest record. you can see that he has a weapons arrest. he was arrested here for aggravated battery. he strangled somebody. so here's a first—degree murder charge. here's another arrest, this is a narcotics arrest. so the score estimates how much more likely an individual is to be the victim or the perpetrator of a violent crime. the police use this score to inform what they call intervention strategies. this is not designed to be a punitive tool. this is used to drive what we call a custom notification process, which is literally a site visit to this subject, to say, "you've come to our attention for these reasons. we want to get you out of the cycle of violence. we can offer you the following social services". maybe it'sjob training. maybe if they have children at home, it would be childcare services. "but also, if you don't leave the cycle of violence and you keep committing crimes, you're going to be subject to enhanced criminal penalties", because you're a repeat gun offender, for example. and can you see why, if police officers go and visit somebody out of the blue, it might seem like they are being victimised, for instance? everybody who has a risk score has committed a crime in the past. otherwise they wouldn't

even be in the model. groups like the american civil liberties union, though, disagree. they aren't happy about the use of some of these technologies. the police showed us a database of people who have been involved in violent crime in the past, and an algorithm which suggests if and when they might again be involved in a violent crime. they pay that person a visit. what's wrong with that? the police show up with... oftentimes in large numbers, along with a number of social service providers. but what they won't say is what social services are offering. is itjust them or is it their entire family? what is the success rate once that occurs? the fact is, is that most of the people who are charged for... you know, if you take two people who are arrested for a simple drug possession, if one is white and one is african—american, the african—american is far more likely to be charged, maybe even convicted. we have seen that there has been, you know, in essence, a "once convicted, always guilty" sort of theme that comes out of this list. while there might be disagreements about the use of this technology, everybody i spoke to had similar ideas about an ultimate

solution to tackling violent crime in chicago. it's got to be every, everybody that's a stakeholder in this coming together to solve the problem. what is really needed across this city is a commitment to community— based policing. i think a lot of it has to do with preventing, with healing, and creating a space where individuals can civically engage back into the community. and that's it for the short cut of this week's click. the full—length version has a really fascinating story about a bunch of geeks trekking across the arctic for charity. if you'd like to watch that, check out click on the iplayer right now. follow us on twitter at bbc click throughout the week. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. hello, this is breakfast,

with rachel burden and roger johnson. a north korean missile test fails as it explodes just seconds after launch. the test took place just a day after a huge military show of strength in the capital pyongyang. in the next few hours the us vice—president mike pence will arrive in south korea for talks about the nuclear threat from the north. good morning, it's sunday 16th april. also ahead:
