hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and rachel burden. a police officer hailed as a hero during the french terror attack has died of his injuries. arnaud beltrame swapped himself for a hostage during the supermarket siege and secretly recorded what happened on his mobile phone. good morning. it's saturday 24th march. also this morning: investigators work through the night, searching the offices of the company at the centre of the facebook data row. labour mps react angrily to the sacking of the shadow northern ireland secretary for saying he wants a second brexit referendum. nadine is eight and she's just given her entire pocket money. i mean, you can't argue with that, can you? with that, celebrity boat races and boxing matches, the sport relief live show raises more than 38 million for charity. in sport, it's a brand new season but same old story as lewis hamilton

clocks a record time in melbourne. the defending champion will start the australian grand prix from pole for the fifth year in a row. he finished more than half a second clear of his nearest rival. and alina jenkins has the weather. a north—south split across the country today. there will be sunshine and showers in the north, but a lot of cloud and patchy rain for the south. more in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. a french police officer who helped bring a terror attack to an end yesterday by swapping himself for a hostage in a supermarket siege has died in hospital. three other people were killed and several injured in separate attacks by a gunman who claimed to be acting on behalf of the islamic state group. he was later shot dead by police. our correspondent lucy williamson has more. france's interior minister called it an act of heroism, but arnaud beltrame‘s acts also seem to have been key

in ending the deadly siege at a supermarket near ca rcassonne. on entering the building, in exchange for a hostage being held at gunpoint by 26—year—old redouane lakdim, lieutena nt—colonel beltrame secretly kept his mobile phone connected to colleagues outside, allowing them to hear what was going on. the attacker had already killed two of his captives and mr beltrame was shot several times before security forces stormed the building, killing the gunman and ending the siege. three people were killed in a series of attacks by redouane lakdim and more than a dozen injured. he claimed to be acting on behalf of the jihadist group islamic state and said he wanted to secure the release of salah abdeslam, a french detainee linked to the november 2015 paris attacks. lucy williamson, bbc news, carcassonne. 18 investigators from the uk's information commissioner have been searching the london headquarters of cambridge analytica overnight, after a high courtjudge

granted them a warrant. the firm is at the centre of a data privacy row and is accused of using information from millions of facebook users to help political campaigns, without their consent. ben ando reports. after a week of waiting for a warrant, last night the inspectors called. theirjob — to search the offices of cambridge analytica for evidence that data gathered via a facebook personality test from around 50 million americans in 2014 was not destroyed and whether, if cambridge analytica used the data, it had an impact on the election two years later that put donald trump in the white house. that seemed to be the claim of its since suspended boss when recorded by undercover reporters. some believe it's time to ask what we want from the web. we can act collectively and think carefully and deliberate meaningfully about what matters to us in terms of a digital environment and a digital world and impose appropriate constraints upon what is done with our personal data and where we think

the boundaries ought to be. others are already voting with their keyboards. elon musk, the founder of spacex, has revealed that he's the most high profile user yet tojoin the so—called delete facebook movement by culling his company's profile pages. the inspectors left in the early hours of the morning. what we know about the information commissioner's investigation is that it is looking into how data can be used for political purposes. both facebook and cambridge analytica deny any wrongdoing. ben ando, bbc news. jeremy corbyn has sacked his shadow northern ireland secretary, owen smith, after he went against labour party policy and called for a new eu referendum. the move has prompted criticism from several labour mps — some of whom criticised jeremy corbyn for the support he gave six years ago to a mural artist whose work has been seen as anti—semitic.

our political correspondent, chris mason joins us now. under the cosh a bitch, jeremy corbyn? what was extraordinary about owen smith's intervention was that this was not a accidental swerve —— jeremy corbyn is under the cosh a bit. smith knew exactly what he was doing. he was penning these words and he knew exactly what he wanted to say. it is his long—standing view that he thinks brexit is a mistake. he digs the uk should stay in the single market as well as the customs union after brexit. that is a divergence from labour party policy. he also said there should be another referendum at the end of the negotiating process with the eu. that is mother died tweet divergence from labour party policy. so he got a call from jeremy corbyn and was

relieved of his duties as shadow northern ireland secretary. quite a response from a good number of labourfigures. lord response from a good number of labour figures. lord home, response from a good number of labourfigures. lord home, the former northern ireland secretary, said it was a terrible, stalinist purge. mr smith this morning has said he disagrees with those remarks and says he was merely standing up for his principles, something that jeremy corbyn has been lauded for by many who support him. so mr smith is disappointed, but perhaps not that surprised to be back on the backbenches. thanks very much. hundreds of thousands of people are expected to take part in marches across america today, calling for tighter gun controls. the main rally — in washington — will include survivors of last month's school shooting in florida. our correspondent chris buckler reports. parkland students have travelled hundreds of miles from florida from the school where their classmates and teachers were killed, a shooting that many of them survived. in washington, they've already been lobbying politicians,

and today they'll be joined by tens of thousands of others in a march calling for new tighter gun laws in the us. i'm doing this because i don't want any other student to have to go and attend a friend's funeral instead of their friends birthday party. those who fled the marjory stoneman douglas high school started the campaign that has led to the march for our lives and they have inspired a huge number of others. alongside services and protests, hundreds of sister marches are due to take place today and around the world. i can honestly say that prayers do not feel like enough. we must act. we must act to change current laws that allow profound devastation and heartbreak. despite the strength of america's gun lobby, there are some signs that the white house is having to listen. the usjustice department has confirmed that it is pushing ahead

with proposals to ban so—called bump stocks. they are devices capable of enabling a semiautomatic weapon to fire like a fully automatic machine gun. but the students leading this campaign believe that's only a start, and they hope the size of today's march in washington will add to the pressure on president trump. conservation officials in australia have confirmed that more than 140 pilot whales which became stranded off the western coast have died. fishermen made the discovery at hamelin bayjust south of perth yesterday, prompting a large scale rescue effort to return the animals to deeper waters. only six whales are thought to have survived. scientists have warned that europe's most active volcano, mount etna, on the italian island of sicily, must be monitored more closely after it was found to be moving. the uk—led team of researchers says a weak underlying platform is forcing etna closer towards the sea at a rate of 14 millimetres each year. geologists say there is no immediate risk to residents, or to the island itself.

it is quite scary. i have been saying all morning. 1.4 millimetres? also 14 millimetres? 1.4 centimetres. but when you think about how big mount etna is... geologically speaking, that is massive. butland masses do move around a lot. not that i am a geologist. let's move on. let's move 1.4 centimetres on towards sport relief. this year's sport relief drew to a close last night and has so far raised over 38 million. we saw footballers taking on fancy footwork in a strictly special, sir andy murray being woken up by michael mcintyre, and presenter helen skelton crowned champion in a celebrity boxing battle! let's have a look at some of the highlights.

# when i go out, i wanna go out dancing # ah—ah—ah—ah, ah—ah—ah—ah # when i go out, i wanna go out dancing # ah—ah—ah—ah, ah—ah—ah—ah # i wanna go out dancing... # we're singing for sport relief sport relief! # arrivederci, it's one—on—one. # we're playing for sport relief sport relief! # we're playing the song... # you must have confused me, confused me with... and the bbc will take

victory in this sport relief celebrity boat race... joining us now is bill griffin, sport relief‘s executive director. congratulations. did you get some sleep? i got a few hours of sleep. we are feeling incredibly upbeat. we are amazingly proud of the entire campaign and we are hugely grateful to be once again overwhelming outpouring of generosity an the part of the public. to have raised nearly £40 million is truly incredible. but more than that, as you just saw in your clip, the astonishing endeavours of people up and down the country. we had 10,000 schools involved, who alone will raise £4

million. we had these extraordinary challenges that you have looked at. we had this app which has collectively measured 15 billion steps collectively measured 15 billion ste ps ta ke n collectively measured 15 billion steps taken on behalf of the public during the campaign period. it has been phenomenal. we have to address theissue been phenomenal. we have to address the issue that many are saying. 55 million was raised in 2016. do you think there is some charity fatigue in the uk? i am by no means knocking the achievement of £38 million going to great causes, and thank you to eve ryo ne to great causes, and thank you to everyone who donated. but there is a lwa ys everyone who donated. but there is always that ambition to top the target of the previous years and be bigger and better. target of the previous years and be bigger and betterlj target of the previous years and be bigger and better. i can understand why you want to talk about that, but from our point of view, we tried to just focus on the things we can control. we could get into extended debate about why that has happened. there are so many factors. we had

unusually snowy weather, which prevents people from doing physical challenges in the way they might ordinarily have done. you might be right, there could be a degree of fatigue. people are rightly asking questions about the charities act as a whole for reasons that we understand. so there is a load of mitigating things, many of which are beyond our control. there has also been criticism of the way certain stories are portrayed. one article was looking at why people in predominantly black country is being seen as saviours of black countries. it was the ed sheeran effect. he got a lot of stick for the film he did, the kind of celebrity poverty tourism. and you referred to negative news around the charity sector with oxfam, for example. do you think that is having an effect with the way people are feeling about donating to charity? in terms of the films, we put a lot of

pressure on ourselves to continuously evolve creatively with the way we make those films. this year, we ensured that the individuals at the centre of those stories, georgie, the goal you will have seen who was the focus of the bullying film, elvis, the youth worker we saw in africa, we made them front and centre and allowed them front and centre and allowed them the opportunity to speak for themselves. their stories are sufficiently compelling. that is definitely a direction we will go in the future. in terms of the celebrity approach, when the organisation is at its best, and it has always been the case in 30 years of comic relief, we work with extraordinary individuals, whoever they may be. this year, we saw greg james and zoe ball and alexjones from the one show, people who have a close personal connection to the cause in question, be that around maternal health, —— mental—health amongst and they can talk passionately about it looking about

it -- passionately about it looking about it —— mental health amongst men. and they can shine a light on that cause and they do so compellingly, and people respond to that in droves. they respond with fundraising. zoe ball did her bike ride and it was incredible. but more than the money, what was incredible was the outpouring on twitter at the end of a film on wednesday night, the harvest ride home film, where she was able to tap into something which previously people may have found difficult to articulate. there is a tonne of stigma around mental health and will benefit from these films comes from being able to have an open and honest conversation about something which even five or ten yea rs something which even five or ten years ago would have been difficult to do. and in some ways, the money raised is not the whole story, because you are also talking about starting those conversations and impact that that can have. there is no financial value on that. it is a difficult thing to evaluate. you can

track it on twitter, and we are dutiful about researching that, but thatis dutiful about researching that, but that is exactly what i am saying. the money is one metric, but there are other ways to evaluate it and it is or was the case that the disproportionate impact that comic relief and sport relief have is what makes them unique. this morning is about saying congratulations. £38 million is going to good causes. you didn't drink too much last night because you knew you were coming in today. i think you are allowed to have a good sleep and celebrate this evening. bill, thank you for coming here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. cold weather, but not too bad in some parts of the country? this was dumfries and galloway not too long ago. the lion's share of the sunshine is in scotland this afternoon. but it is a different story for the south. we have a lot of cloud, with outbreaks of rain and

drizzle. this was leicestershire the same time as the previous picture was taken. so you have a swirl of cloud in the south—west of the uk. the spanish met service have named it storms you go. it will barrel across spain, bringing them some stormy conditions. for us, it will bring patchy light rain and drizzle on and off through the day. it was that eased through the afternoon, with brighter spells through south—east england and east anglia. expect some showers to push into scotla nd expect some showers to push into scotland and the north of england which could be wintry for the far north—west of scotland. the cloud will get nibbled away. increasing sunshine across northern england, the isle of man. expect a few showers for northern ireland. but the swathe of cloud will be stubborn to grow across much of england and wales. temperatures rise, nine to 11 celsius. probably highest across the east of scotland, where we hang on

to the best of the sunshine. but where you have sunshine by day, clearer skies overnight, said temperatures will take a tumble, close to freezing if not a few degrees below, except from east anglia to south—west england, where we keep the cloud and patchy drizzle. it chilly start for many tomorrow morning, but tomorrow promises to be a decent day for much of the country. still this stubborn cloud across parts of southern and south—east england. otherwise, spells the sunshine. maybe a few showers, mainly for north—west scotland, where they could again be wintry. elsewhere, pleasant sunshine. but it starts to turn colder next week. looks like we will pick upa colder next week. looks like we will pick up a north north—easterly wind. there is a risk of snow, but still uncertainty there is a risk of snow, but still u ncerta i nty after there is a risk of snow, but still uncertainty after the exact details, so keep an eye on the forecast over the few days. monday dawns bright

after a frosty start. but it does look like things start to turn colder through tuesday and wednesday as we head towards easter. there is something more wintry and some of us could see some snow. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. the financial analyst margaret doyle is here to tell us what's caught her eye. you are picking up on passports. we spoke to the chief executive of the le roux earlier this week, who said they lost out on the tender for the new british passports, but you are taking a look at the passport issue in this paper, the telegraph. yes. juliet samuel takes contradictory

position. the telegraph have backed brexit, and a lot of brexit supporting mps have come out and said this is a disaster, it's terrible, we shouldn't have a british passport being made by a foreign company. and she says, actually, this is a brilliant example of how free trade will work. and it's a brilliant example of global britain. she says it is harder to think of a better symbol for brexit britain. the government is set to restore the patriotic blue colour of our passports and save money at the same time. a lot of the brexiteers say, let's have free trade. evenjacob brexiteers say, let's have free trade. even jacob rees—mogg brexiteers say, let's have free trade. evenjacob rees—mogg said, i ama trade. evenjacob rees—mogg said, i am a free trader, but the passports are different. we have do have a different rule for the passports and not have free trade which would mean picking the cheapest provider. he says that is because they are symbolic. but she says actually,

it's a wonderful symbol to say the whole point about brexit britain is that you have free trade and if you can save yourself 120 million and outsource the production, then it is all to the good. so she is a rare voice in favour. and de la rue also make passports for other countries. business is business. we have businesses that are making often quite sensitive products for countries around the world. we have agreement on the transition period in theory, but we are now moving into ted talks territory, and this one is in the financial times, talking about the possibility of cliff edge brexit, which politicians are saying will not happen. the politicians have long been saying it isn't going to happen. they have said wait, we will get a transition. we have a political agreement on a transition, but we don't have a legal agreement. we will not have that legal agreement until the

withdrawal agreement is done. in the famous phrase, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. the bank of england... the uk has said that if you are a european financial services company doing business in britain, you can continue to do business with us on the same terms during the transition that you have now. however, the european central bank has not given the same assurances. therefore, if you are a business based in the uk that is doing business in europe are on the basis of your passport, you cannot rely on that continuing. u nfortu nately, rely on that continuing. unfortunately, that means that even though we have this transition, businesses and banks in particular... any sensible business would do modelling for all outcomes. prince charles is in a lot of the papers this morning. yes. the daily mail serialised a biography of tom barrow. he specialises in take—downs. he rarely writes a

flattering biography and his biography of charles was not very flattering. so the daily mail has been covering this not flattering account of charles all week and now has a defence of him by dominic sandberg. he doesn't deny that he thinks that our future king has a strea k of thinks that our future king has a streak of petulant self—pity and self—indulgence, but as prince charles is very well—meaning and has been right on a lot of things like organic food and the environment and about the iraq war. so users actually, he is well placed to be our monarch. all the papers have different front—page stories, but i was interested to note that the one person on almost all the front pages this weekend was this young woman. and this is the way it is going to be for the next however any weeks until the wedding. meghan markle, talking about the wedding. we know meghan markle is not your traditional princess, as she is american, biracial and divorced and she's a feminist. she is very right

on. this is looking at what sort of wedding she might have, what sort of flowers, what sort of wine. she looks bougainville and she likes female singers. and they think she will make a speech at her wedding, very much a break in tradition. but that happens at a lot of weddings now. i made one at all my girlfriends' weddings. i made a speech at my wedding as well. i think it'sjust a speech at my wedding as well. i think it's just a normal thing to do these days. but i suspect that kate didn't makea these days. but i suspect that kate didn't make a speech at her wedding. ifind it odd, the idea that didn't make a speech at her wedding. i find it odd, the idea that used sit down and have a string of men speak about you. although not eve ryo ne speak about you. although not everyone is comfortable with it, so it is your personal choice. but no reason not to. it will be an interesting day in may when they get married. margaret, always lovely having you on. at 17, she's one of the youngest,

and often the only female racing driver in motorsport competitions. it's hard enough for shanel drewe to fit studying for her a levels around her training, but how would she cope with driving in some of the most challenging racing conditions on earth? pam caulfield went to find out. she's just 17, but her career is moving fast. last season, she came runner—up in the michelin ko cup series, a lot of the many drivers. she was the youngest and the only woman on the grid. she has also managed to achieve straight as and a*s in her gcses and is now studying full—time for her a—levels. a*s in her gcses and is now studying full-time for her a-levels. it's been really demanding. people are home never understood what i got up to on my weekends, never understood sacrifices i have to make to be as successful as i am now. so it has been difficult growing up in my childhood with the racing. but i wouldn't live my life any other way.

she's in the gym at least six times a week and has upped her training in preparation for sweden. this is a massive test for my career. being out in the freezing conditions, not in control of the car or the ice, having to learn my way around the circuit. it will be a make or break challenge for us, but i am well up for it. the first thing that hit me was the bitter cold and the feeling in the airof was the bitter cold and the feeling in the air of the wind and the freezing frostbite in the air. it's -18 freezing frostbite in the air. it's —18 degrees today. she's about to drive on top of a lake covered in a foot of ice. these are some of the toughest conditions to drive in. it's where formula 1 drivers, to hone their skills. i have never felt anything like it. her instructor is swedish rally champion philip carson. you have to be really calm

and soft with the steering wheel. judging her performance is a man who could transform her career. impressing graham could win her vital sponsorship. impressing graham could win her vitalsponsorship. here's impressing graham could win her vital sponsorship. here's a long—time supporter of female drivers. how difficult is it for women get into this sport? it's the only sport in the world that doesn't have a female category, just about. it needs that female category to at least get the girls started. once they have done a championship or a series, they can compete against the men easily. it was difficult for me growing up not having any females to look up to in the motorsport industry. but i have to be that person one day and pushed through and show women that you can make your own way up there. but you make that future happens, she needs a good performance right now. how are we looking? looking really good.

that looks fast to me. 1.21. sammut a really good. time to swap places. so, how would the instructor do? i'm going to shock you now. same as shanel! how do you see her career progressing? she ticks all the boxes. she will go a long way.l progressing? she ticks all the boxes. she will go a long way. a lot of racers attempt to make in motorsport and they don't succeed but as long as you keep focused on that path, anything can happen. this is the peak time for us to push through. it is now or never and i would do anything i can to make it happen. incredible.

we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when andi oliver takes over in the saturday kitchen. andi — what's on the menu for us? how are you? really well. we are enjoying our morning, but we are hungry! there is also lots going on here. our special guest today has just waltz in. it is the fabulous anton du beke! lovely to be here. and neither is a lovely waltz —— nagais and neither is a lovely waltz —— naga is a lovely waltz. tell us your heaven or hell ingredients. naga is a lovely waltz. tell us your heaven or hell ingredientslj naga is a lovely waltz. tell us your heaven or hell ingredients. i quite like game. venison is a favourite. i like game. venison is a favourite. i like roasted vegetables, parsnips. a little traditional, but done well,

it is marvellous. and what is your hell? hell! i don't like things like very spicy food. i don't like shellfish, squid. i had a nasty incident when i was young with squid. and you have an issue with plating. just put it on a plate. don't give me a roof tile or something! don't give me foam. an italian classic with a twist, chicken and saucer and beans. and tom is here. i am doing afoam! no, i am not. we are doing lamb's neck.

cutting it very slowly. a beautiful spring dish. and lee is in charge of the drinks and you are in charge home for deciding what anton du beke gets to eat at the end of the show. we will see you at ten. will you get anton to give you a twirl around the studio? behave yourself! i am a bit of a twirler. if you get into anton du beke's arms and enjoyed the control he has over you while he'd well see you around. it is an experience. i do have quite a lot but the moment! we will see. shove it in the oven. we will have a dance. have a fabulous show. the headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast, with

naga munchetty and rachel burden. coming up before ten, alina will have the weather for you. and holly will have the latest sport. but first a summary of this morning's main news. a police officer who swapped himself for a hostage in a supermarket siege in france has died in hospital. lieutenant colonel arnaud beltrame had been praised for his heroism by the french president, emmanuel macron. three other people were killed and several more injured in separate attacks by a gunman who claimed to be acting on behalf of the islamic state group. he was later shot dead by police. let's get the very latest now from our europe reporter gavin lee,

who is in carcassone. terribly sad news to hear about the french police officer losing his life after such a brave act. what more do we know? in the past few minutes the police have lifted most of the cordon around the small town of the cordon around the small town of trebes. you can see trolleys knocked over in the distance. pretty much the scene as it was. we are told there are still forensics workers inside. this is the place yesterday, 50 shoppers inside, in 11am, when this terrorist attack came in. 25—year—old redouane lakdim, who had come inside the store for about two hours and held up store for about two hours and held

up hostages, a number of whom escaped but there was one woman he had hold of steel. this is where the police officer showed immense bravery, president macron described him as falling for france, exceptional courage. the 45—year—old lieutenant colonel arnaud beltrame offered himself for the female hostage. he left his police line opens so the police special forces could listen to what was going on. 45 minutes later, when gunshots were heard, they went in and killed the attacker. at that point they knew the officer was severely injured and in the early hours he died in hospital. that was confirmed a few hours ago by the interior minister. thank you. investigators have been working overnight to search the london headquarters of cambridge analytica — the company accused of illegally using data to help political campaigns. the uk's information commissioner was granted a warrant amid claims the firm used information about millions of facebook users without consent. they were seen leaving the offices in the early hours of this morning.

both cambridge analytica and facebook deny any wrongdoing. owen smith has said he will continue to argue against brexit, despite being sacked from the labour front bench for disagreeing with party policy. last night he was dismissed as the shadow northern ireland secretary byjeremy corbyn, after calling for a second eu referendum. several labour mps have questioned their leader's decision. hundreds of thousands of people are expected to take part in marches around the world today calling for tighter gun controls in america. the main rally — in washington — will include survivors of last month's school shooting in florida. last night the usjustice department confirmed it will propose a ban on bump stocks — devices which can turn ordinary assault rifles into machine guns. scientists have warned that europe's most active volcano, mount etna, on the italian island of sicily, must be monitored more closely after it was found to be moving. the uk—led team of researchers says a weak underlying platform is forcing etna closer towards the sea at a rate of 14

millimetres each year. geologists say there is no immediate risk to residents, or to the island itself. £38 million was raised during last night's sport relief. we saw the bbc beat team itv in the clash of the channels boat race. we were a bit pleased about that. the amount is below the record £55 million pledged in 2016 — but organisers are still hailing the event a huge success. those are the main stories this morning. sport, we saw an england win against the netherlands last night. more on that in a moment but all eyes on the start of the formula 1 season in australia. if anyone does not want to know the result of qualifying, please look away now. lewis hamilton looking for away now. lewis hamilton looking for a fifth championship title. it looks like he is on track, just this

morning we had qualifying. he has taken pole morning we had qualifying. he has ta ken pole position morning we had qualifying. he has taken pole position for the fifth time in melbourne and did it in style, more than half a second, which is huge. in premier league terms it is like turning up for your first match and winning 26—0. in the final minutes of qualifying it looked like it go to any of the top teams but it was the final lap it was clear lewis hamilton had something special on the cards. formula 1 is back and before qualifying, the excitement was understandable. we were supposed to be about to witness a challenge to lewis hamilton and his mercedes team's dominance. ferrari looked like they might have closed the gap in pre—season testing. and when sebastian vettel took the time sheet in the second session, it felt like things were about to get tasty. mercedes suffered another blow at the start of the final session. valtteri bottas giving his mechanics the prospect of a sleepless night, trying to rebuild his car in time for the race. there were no such troubles for hamilton, as the reigning

champion clocked the quickest time ever seen in qualifying at albert park. the gap to the ferraris of kimi raikkonen and vettel was a massive one, of more than half a second. awesome, mate. nice work. it was hamilton's fifth consecutive pole down under and a record seventh in australia, surpassing ayrton senna. you would think that with the results we have had these years, it would be the norm, but it doesn't. it is just as intense. my heart is racing. i wish you could feel it right now. i'm so happy with that lap. it was such a nice lap. and you know, i'm always striving for perfection, so that was as close as i could get. it is going to take something remarkable to stop him from retaining his title. the rain cleared in time for the f1 but over in auckland, the bad weather wiped out virtually the entire third day's play in the final test between new zealand and england. only 17 balls were bowled and four runs scored this morning as the hosts increased their lead

to 175 runs. there was time though for batsman henry nicholls to reach his half—century — off 149 balls. but the umpires decided to abandon play — and the kiwis will resume day four on 233 forfour. a successful night for gareth southgate in amsterdam as his much changed england team had enough to beat holland 1—0 and jesse lingard scored his first international goal to extended international goal to extend england's unbeaten run to seven matches. their world cup preparations continue on tuesday as they face italy at wembley very composed performance. we used the ball really well. played from the back, with really good composure, good tactical understanding. and then, as we progressed forwards, good pace and energy to the team, which meant we looked a threat.

not too much joy for scotland fans i'm afraid. alex mcleish‘s second reign as manager didn't get off to the best of starts. costa rica, six places above them in the world rankings, were comfortable 1—0 winners at hampden park. marco rena the scorer in the 14th minute. scotland play hungary on tuesday evening. i was a bit disappointed. we were never really up in the way we were never really up on them in the way we wanted to be and high on the back three. they still played out a wee bit, but i think it was we bit we were half—hearted. i don't know. maybe apprehension, some new caps in the team. northern ireland play south korea this afternoon. cambridge and oxford university will face off in the boat race this afternoon. oxford have won four of the past five men's races and are catching up with cambridge in the overall standings — it's 82—80 to the light blues.

there is a bigger gap in the women's head—to—head — with cambridge leading 42—30 — but oxford hope to narrow the gap with an experienced crew. this year marks 80 years since the event was first televised by the bbc. it will be available to watch across the bbc todayjust it will be available to watch across the bbc today just shortly before 4pm. brilliant. owen smith has been sacked as the shadow northern ireland secretary, after he went against labour party policy and called for a new eu referendum. jeremy corbyn asked him to stand down from his position in the shadow cabinet yesterday with immidiate effect. the move has prompted criticism from several labour mps. let's talk to owen smith now. what did jeremy corbyn say? he was unhappy with the position i took on

brexit and therefore he wanted to sack me from the shadow cabinet. how did he put that in words, is he disappointed in you, does he feel let down by you? no, he simply said he was unhappy, i think that was the precise word he scented text and then a phone call. to be honest, i am not sure i was speaking against labour party policy. the labour party at its conference which is sovereign in terms of policy passed a motion last year that said exactly what i said in my article for the guardian newspaper and other members of the shadow cabinet, diane abbott recently articulated almost exactly the same views about the prospects for a people'sthe vote at the end of the process. i am not sure it is true i was overstepping the mark. i have been clear the last two years these are my views and jeremy corbyn knew that when he appointed me and he has never asked me to renounce them. kyle abbott said you are a valued colleague but it is argued

you cannot sit on the front page of the opposition while advancing a position that is not labour party policy. she does not agree. pretty rich for her to say that given she did the same thing by issuing a letter in her constituency in which she broadly repeated what i said in my article. why don't you join the liberal democrats? if you do not supportjeremy liberal democrats? if you do not support jeremy corbyn's liberal democrats? if you do not supportjeremy corbyn's vision on the approach to brexit, the liberal democrats want a second referendum, surely you would fit better there? no, iama surely you would fit better there? no, i am a labour mp and supporter and have been the last 30 or more yea rs. and have been the last 30 or more years. this is my labour party as much as it isjeremy corbyn's or anybody else's and crucially it is the members' party. the views i am reflecting the views of the majority of labour party members, including those who supported jeremy corbyn in

the leadership contest over the past few years and the majority of labour supporters in the country so i don't think i have done anything other than speak up for the members and in the interests of our country. are you saying jeremy corbyn is not speaking up for the majority of labour supporters? clearly not on this issue because the majority of members, as reflected in the notion that conference, it is in favour of us taking a stronger fuel on brexit. i was the shadow northern ireland secretary, i have been proud and i was privileged and thanksjeremy corbyn yesterday for allowing me to serve on the front bench on northern ireland, it is one of the greatest legacies of the last labour government will help deliver peace for northern ireland, but now there is risk to the still fragile political process in northern ireland that is the prospect now of

a hard border between northern ireland and the irish republic which would be destabilising, potentially risking the security of people living along the border and as the chief constable of northern ireland said, risking the security of his police officers. a strong brexit position. at the moment our position is not strong enough on the single market all the risks brexit poses to our country. you do not thinkjeremy corbyn is representing the views of the majority of labour party members. you challenged jeremy corbyn called the leadership in 2016 and you are saying he is not reflecting or fighting for the views when it comes to brexit. is this a challenge to his leadership? not in any way, shape orform. i have done that and got the t—shirt and i do not intend to do it again. this is about me continuing with me adhering

to my principles on this issue. do you thinkjeremy corbyn is a good leader? i was clear in the contest where i stood. jeremy corbyn has never asked me to change my views about this. i have argued on that and continue to make the arguments on the backbenches. do you think jeremy corbyn is a good leader and it is correct he is leading the party at this time? jeremy corbyn won the support of a big majority of labour members. hepeat need by half as many votes as i got nobody can challenge that. jeremy corbyn enjoys support of labour members. i asked you if you think... i am sorry for interrupting i asked if you think jeremy corbyn is a good leader at this time? i do not think it releva nt, this time? i do not think it relevant, the truth isjeremy corbyn is in relevant, the truth isjeremy corbyn isina relevant, the truth isjeremy corbyn is in a strong position leading the

labour party that is doing well in the polls. given we are doing well and he is in a strong position and there is a prospect of labour winning the next election, we need to be the right position on brexit because if we want to do the good thingsjeremy because if we want to do the good things jeremy corbyn and because if we want to do the good thingsjeremy corbyn and i believe we need to do to make the country equal and fair, we a stronger economy. we know from analysis, brexit will make our country weaker economically and more isolated internationally and that cannot be the right position for labour to be in if we want resources to bring about a more equal society we. thank you. now if you are feeling sluggish and need get up and go, take inspiration from our next guest. kiko matthews has become the fastest woman to row solo across the atlantic, just months after undergoing brain surgery. you might remember she spoke to us from the middle of the atlantic ocean last month. we'll catch up with her in barbados in a moment, but first here's a quick reminder of herjourney.

i learned over the years that worrying is a waste of time. oh, my god. i'm feeling a bit sick and a bit drowsy. it's not about having lots of skills and not about knowing loads of people. if we put our minds to it, if we are positive, i'm going to do it. having not rowed before in my life and having not been part of the isle of wight, and not raised the kind of money i need to do this sort of thing, i was hoping that will be big enough evidence you can do anything. energy—wise, you've got to get up and get back on the oars. you've got to keep rowing. because every stroke, especially when it is not windy, every rowing stroke really makes a difference. it is my dream to get to barbados. a bit wobbly. mother! well done, darling. i told you not to worry. i never did worry.

i know. a bit wobbly? totally. let's speak to kiko now from her hotel in barbados. fabulous scenes when you arrived on dry land. how did that feel? it was so nice, i was pleased. roaming around the island, it was so hard and i'd finished this whole thing a what i want to be finished now and i had this massive two and a half hour slog. i don't know what was going on, but it was great. back on land. do you have aches and pains? how you feeling? i have aches and pains but because i have been walking upstairs my poor legs have not done any stairs walking about 50 days. my ca lf stairs walking about 50 days. my calf muscles are killing the! the irony. i woke up with pins and

needles down my arms, which is related to the growing and grabbing of the oars. my bottom is sore but you sit on its 16 hours. recovering. pretty good shape considering. we detailed the extraordinary endurance required for this journey and some of the darker moments. what is the first thing you do when you hit dry land? a cup of tea, hot bath, what? a mojito. i was dreaming of my ice—cold mojito all the way across and it was the first thing i have. it was funny, i was wobbling from being on the boat so long, it looks like i was drunk, my mojito swaying from side to side. i know with all

your medical difficulties, such a hugely rewarding personal challenge. do you go back to a normal life now? do you go back to a normal life now? do you go back to a normal life now? do you look ahead to other things you can do? i don't know. i put a message on facebook, i don't know what i'm doing now! i have not thought beyond it. i have a blank canvas. i'm excited about what opportunities might come. i have some ideas. challengers, probably more like business, charity, empowering women type of thing, with rowing. who knows what is around the corner? who knows who might want me to do something or not. maybe i will go back to my dayjob. to do something or not. maybe i will go back to my dayjoblj to do something or not. maybe i will go back to my day job. i think that unlikely. a lot of people will want to talk to you and celebrate with you. thank you and good luck with the journey back. smoother i think, possibly. thank you. what an amazing achievement. a mojito, you cannot

knock that. any time, but after that. i do not think it is mojito on the beach weather. not quite. we have sunshine but without the temperatures to match. plenty of sunshine here. likely to keep it much of the day. getting up to 12 celsius. further south, a different story. this was leicestershi re different story. this was leicestershire a few hours ago. cloud in the south—west. the spanish met office have called it storm hugo. for us, it is spilling cloud across england and wales, which will bring light rain and drizzle. it will slowly ease off. a different story further north. we had clearer skies and a good deal of sunshine already. showers in northern ireland and north—west scotland. a chance some of them will be wintry over

higher ground with maybe hale and thunder. the cloud will move from the north. the cloud stubborn to go across much of england and wales. maybe brightness in south—east england, parts of wales later in the afternoon. rain starting to ease. temperatures between nine and 11. could see up to 12 in the best of the sunshine. where you have sunshine by day, turning cold under clear skies overnight. wintry showers pushing through scotland. cloud braking. it lies from east anglia to south—west england tomorrow morning, keeping temperatures up. under clear skies, close to freezing, perhaps —3 in rural areas further north. a cold start tomorrow but most of the country will have a decent day with spells of sunshine. showers mainly

in north—west scotland. the cloud stubborn to go and in parts of south—east england breeding drizzle. it should feel pleasant in the sunshine. starting to see changes next week. it will turn colder. there is a risk of snow on tuesday, wednesday, but uncertainty around the detail. monday starts try and bright. sunshine through the morning. the cloud will build. rain in south—west england, wales, northern ireland and western scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland later in the day. it looks like things turn more wintry as we head towards easter, picking up a cold wind and a chance some of us will see snow. time now. 9:55am. this is one of the most coveted titles by gchq. adam
