hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the whole of the uk in a day — theresa may embarks on a whistlestop tour with one year to go to brexit. she promises to keep the country strong and united, but critics say time's running out to get a deal done. we're not going to head across the whole of the country today but we've come to the market town of banbury to ask people hear how they're feeling 12 months before we leave the eu. good morning. it's thursday, the 29th of march. also this morning: a former russian spy and his daughter were probably poisoned at their home. police say high levels of nerve agent were found on the front door. a warning of a tough year ahead for the nhs. health bosses say there's not enough beds or staff.

in sport, steve smith will arrive back in australia this morning following his year long ban from the sport for his part in the ball—tampering scandal, meanwhile his head coach maintains he had no prior knowledge of the plan to cheat. and carol has the weather. good morning. a cold and frosty start to the day but for many, it's also a dry one with a fair bit of sunshine. however, showers will spread in from the south—west, moving north—east, and in north—east scotland, we still have some rain and hill snow. more details in 15 minutes. carol, thank you. good morning. first, our main story. exactly a year before the uk is due to leave the european union, theresa may will pledge to make brexit a success for everybody. she is due to visit england, scotland, wales and northern ireland today and will promise the country will remain strong and united after brexit. our political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. chris, with the clock ticking, how much is at stake for the pm ahead of this trip? good morning. there are many

landmarks on the canvas of the countdown to brexit but today is undeniably one of them. it was a year ago today that the whole process formally began, with the triggering of what was known as article 50, and in exactly a year at 11pm, we will legally leave the european union. that will be the point where brexit happens. but immediately after that, not a huge amount will change practically, because for the next 6“; days, i think i've got my counting right, we'll be in what's known as the transitional implementation period, legally outside the eu but very little will actually change. that is the timeline, if you like. what are the timeline, if you like. what are the big challenges? ireland, the irish border, the 310 mile squiggle as it's known. how on earth does that border remain as open as it

currently is when the uk is outside the eu? and ireland is part of the eu. that is the frontier. then there's the question of course of trade, what do we do in terms of our relationships with our nearest neighbours and countries around the world as far as trade is concerned when we're no longer in the european union single market and the customs union after the end of the transition period? and of course the big question, so important for so many people in the eu referendum, immigration. the government says it's going to take back control of immigration, it won't happen immediately, during the transition period things will stay very similar. after that the uk will have its own rules but how will it manage that so we can travel as freely abroad as possible, but apply restrictions to people coming here. for the prime minister today, one of those classic politician masochistic and very symbolic trips, she will talk about the union that she thinks is the most successful, not the one

we are leaving, the european union, but the one we remain a part of, the united kingdom. chris, thanks very much, we will talk to you through the morning. speaking to all three of the main political parties, the lib dems, labour and the conservatives on this day. also gathering for us this morning in banbury. .. day. also gathering for us this morning in banbury... at the market, you can see the scenes, this is banbury, interesting place. it voted like the national referendum vote result and we will catch up with some of the people we met a year and a half ago to have a chat with them about some of their thoughts one year away from brexit. police say a former russian spy and his daughter were probably poisoned at their home after high levels of nerve agent were found on the front door. sergei and yulia skripal were found collapsed on a park bench in salisbury and remain in a critical condition. caroline rigby has more. three weeks on from the attack which left a former russian spy and his daughter critically ill

in hospital, the investigation now focuses on this front door at the home of sergei skripal. detectives say it's where they've discovered the highest concentration of the russian—made nerve agent novichok, leading to the suggestion it may have been where the pair were first poisoned. it's the latest development in a huge investigation involving 250 counterterrorism officers. searches continue in and around salisbury, with traces of the nerve agent found at a number of locations, including the restaurant where the pair ate and the bench where they were found unconscious shortly after the meal. the criminal investigation continues alongside significant political activity. an ever—growing list of nations, now more than 25, have expelled more than 130 russian diplomats or spies. a co—ordinated response to the country britain says is behind the attack. i believe that these expulsions represent a moment when a feeling has suddenly crystallised. when years of vexation and provocation have warned the collective patience

to breaking point. across the world, across three continents, countries who are willing to say enough is enough. russia continues to deny any involvement in the poisoning and has threatened retaliation for the expulsions, but to what extent and in what form remains unclear. caroline rigby, bbc news. the head of the labour party's internal disputes panel has stepped down after it emerged she'd opposed the suspension of a local election candidate accused of holocaust denial. christine shawcroft sent an email calling for the reinstatement of alan bull, who was due to stand for peterborough council in may. in a statement she apologised and said she had not been aware of the abhorrent facebook post that led to his suspension. mr bull has said the article he posted does not reflect his views. an 18—year old has been arrested after a number of schools

and colleges across the uk received threatening emails. the national crime agency said the incident was linked to a hoax bomb threat that closed hundreds of schools last week. the teenager was arrested in abbots langley, hertfordshire on suspicion of making malicious communications. health bosses are warning that hospital waiting lists will grow in the next financial year and patient care will suffer unless the government addresses the issues with its latest pay offer. nhs providers added that plans for a long—term funding settlement must also be resolved if services are to improve. they claim the nhs in england doesn't currently have enough beds or staff. at the moment, we are setting standards which our own trust leaders are telling us that they cannot achieve. so 55% of our trusts say that they are really worried about meeting their financial targets next year. and 35% of them have said even though they have signed up to it, they will not reach those targets. that shows us the kind of culture we're operating in. we've got to do something

to ease that culture. when people are set targets and standards that they cannot meet, we lose confidence. 68 people have died in a fire at a police detention facility in venezuala. the blaze reportedly started after prisoners set fire to mattresses in an attempt to break out on wednesday. police used tear gas to disperse relatives who surrounded the station after news of the fire broke. nobel peace prize winner malala yousafzai has returned to pakistan for the first time since being shot by taliban militants. the 20—year—old human rights activist was shot in the head six years ago after campaigning forfemale education. she's expected to hold talks with the country's prime minister shahid khaqan abbasi during her visit. nasa scientists are putting the finishing touches to the parker solar probe ahead of its mission to the sun injuly. the spacecraft is the size of a small car and will orbit the sun 2a times. it will have to survive temperatures as high as 1,400 degrees celsius.

data sent back to earth will help scientsts understand why the sun's atmosphere is hotter than its surface and also learn more about solar storms which can affect communication satellites. i never knew that, i never knew the atmosphere was hotter than the surface, doesn't quite make sense in my head but this is going to help that. a well-known fact! apparently a well—known fact. we knew that, didn't we? don't include me in this. go on, it is so much fun! cricket, while, it's the story that keeps on giving as faras while, it's the story that keeps on giving as far as board is concerned “ wow. giving as far as board is concerned — — wow. the giving as far as board is concerned —— wow. the cheating scandal that has rocked australian, captain steve smith, no longer the captain, has rocked australian, captain steve smith, no longerthe captain, banned for a year, david warner, the vice captain, also banned for a year and cameron bancroft, the more junior of the three, has a nine—month ban because it's only his eighth test and he feels he was coerced into this. darren lehmann, who we will

hear from on breakfast this morning, hear from on breakfast this morning, he is the head coach, lots of people suggesting, how could he not have known what his players were up to? he has denied all knowledge again and says in some ways he has sympathy for the players because ball tampering it is fair to say in cricket has been going since the start of the game. it is nothing new. it's the blurring of the lines. it is, it's the fact they cheated and then tried to cover it up. we will talk about it again a lot this morning. captain steve smith was flanked by security as he flew home from johannsburg following news of that long year ban from cricket. captain steve smith will arrive abck in australia this morning, after flying home forjohannesburg. he was criticised in the investigation into whatw ent on, for niot stopping them plan and instructing cameron bancroft to hide the piece of sandpaper down his trousers after being caught on camera. head coach darren lehman said he will not be resigning and admitted it's time for the team to change their approach to how they play the game.

record breaking achievemnets in women's football, for the first time there are two english clubs into the last four of the champions league. chelsea beating montepellier 5—1 on aggregate to reach their first semi—final in the competition. while manchester city are through after beating swedish side linkoping 5—3 away from home. that's two years in a row city have reached this stage. and manchester united's paul pogba is among those alleged to have been subject to racist abuse during france's 3—1 friendly win over russia in st petersburg. fifa are investigating the claims. it happened at one of the venues due to stage world cup matches this summer. well worth having a look at that goal again from paul pogba, what a freekick that was, obviously not great to hear, as you can understand, that he's been subject to racist abuse, obviously with the world cup around the corner inrush, worryingly is this a sign of perhaps things do come? i hope not! john, we're going to have a look at the

papers with you, let's start with the daily telegraph. so much interest of course in the story about justice, justice interest of course in the story aboutjustice, justice secretary interest of course in the story about justice, justice secretary now facing demands to resign after victims ofjohn warboys, the black cab rapist, accused him of disgusting attempt to divert blame over the scandal. it's worth saying we will be speaking to nick hardwick, the parole board chairman, who resigned from his position but is doing interviews today, it will be interesting to hear from is doing interviews today, it will be interesting to hearfrom him today live what he makes of who was responsible for the mistakes that took place. we will be talking to dominic rabb, who was in thejustice department when the parole board initial decision was made. front page of the sun is looking at this big 3a worboys‘s victims, who sought justice, and the daily mail going on

to the conversation that's happening today and will be happening for some timei today and will be happening for some time i imagine, is the parole system fit for purpose? saying it is in crisis after the top judges attacked the decision to freejohn worboys. 0n the decision to freejohn worboys. on this day, one year before brexit, the front page of the times, looking at immigration issues and obviously this is in relation to many of the claims in the run—up to the referendum, the home office has lost track of more than 600,000 foreigners who should have left the uk. the government has spent $800 —— £800 million on a system that should log every entry and departure from the country but the immigration watchdog has says there's been a catalogue of failures. that's also on the front page of the guardian as well. these are children dressed as diddy men watching ken dodd's cortege leaving the cathedral, he

died aged 90 earlier this month. people lining the streets, saying think about the football club, think about the beatles, think about ken dodd. it was moving in the funeral we re dodd. it was moving in the funeral were as people walked out and they we re were as people walked out and they were waving their tickling stick. you're going to take us back to the cricket? it's on the back pages of all the back pages of the batons handed out to the three cricketers for the part in the cheating scandal, steve smith, flying back from johannesburg, flying to australia this morning and darren lehmann denies any knowledge, he said he is concerned for their mental and physical well—being such has been the hysteria and gravity of what happened and only now is it starting to sink in. one of the things that occurs to me, john, the way that people are reacting to this story, it's intriguing because they are now facing a harsh sentence and

eve ryo ne are now facing a harsh sentence and everyone is saying it is a disgrace, it's almost like there is a bracket after that saying, everyone has done it. it's a curious one, it seems like there's a sort of acceptance, albeit that they have been caught out. looking on social media amongst the cricketing world and former cricketers, they think there's been a lot of hysteria and it probably relates to that because they know ball tampering has gone on but what sets this apart is the fact they tried to cover it up and the way in which they did that. that's probably a part of it. what message does this send to kids who watch? who are playing the sport at school, when is it ok to fiddle with the ball, polish it one side, whatever, that's what isn't clear now. what do pe teachers tell their kids? that's probably what's behind the length of the bands, the damage it has done to the bands, the damage it has done to the sport. young cricketers, people aspiring to go into the game, it's the damage they have done to the

sport in australia and that's one of the key points. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. that is a murky pitjupp but you are brightening it up. good morning, many of us it is a cold and frosty start and dry, some sunshine around, through the day the cloud will build that it through the day the cloud will build thatitis through the day the cloud will build that it is going to turn more showery, and between those showers there will be some sunshine but the shower was coming in from the south—west and they are going to develop further as we go through day. the weather front enhancing them here. coming across south—west england and wales, moving in across the midlands into northern england and northern ireland. a frontbench drift across scotland, producing patchy rain and some hill snow and through the day, further showers developing across scotland, some went to reef. especially on the hills. -- went to reef. especially on the hills. —— wintry. some sunshine across western scotland, part of

north—east england, but the temperatures are disappointing. at best, nine or 10. temperatures are disappointing. at best, nine or10. we temperatures are disappointing. at best, nine or 10. we should be 1— three degrees higher. as we head—on through the evening, the weather front across the north is producing patchy rain, wintry on the hills. the low pressure produces showers that drift further east, and the shower was come that drift further east, and the shower was come across that drift further east, and the shower was come across here the distribution here, not all of us will cut one, some wintry across the pennines heading towards the scottish border by the end of the night. it will be cold, not as cold as the one just gone but some of us could see some frost, dotted here and there. as we go into the easter weekend, the weather is changeable. sunday looks like it is the driest. some rain at times, snow across the hills, generally all this time of year but we will see some sunshine. —— cool for. the showers merging to

be some heavy rain, north of the cloud will build, again, some bright spells, sunshine, some of the rains across scotland will be wintry in nature across the hills. look at those temperatures! not what we expect that this stage in march! by saturday, the low pressure drifts towards the near continent, everything rotates around it so we are looking at a fair bit of cloud. also some showers coming across england and wales. again, cold enough on the hill to those to be small and —— falling asleep and snow and some sunshine in the north but nonetheless any showers are likely to be wintry. a cold and frosty start of the day, easter sunday itself, a fair bit of sunshine around, some wintry showers and the next thing, the system comes up from the south—west, for easter monday, it will be moving north—east would and it looks like it could also produce some sorrow. back to you. ——

some sorrow. “— produce some sorrow. back to you. —— some sorrow. —— snorer. at 11 o'clock tonight, it will be exactly one year until we leave the european union. as the clock ticks, we've sent jon kay back to banbury market, the same place he reported from the day after the referendum, to see how the town feels now. it looks lovely bare, everyone is obviously getting ready for business but one year to go until brexit, how is everyone feeling? it is interesting, it is much colder here, thatis interesting, it is much colder here, that is the big difference and when we hear two yea rs that is the big difference and when we hear two years ago, even frost on the sofa which is a good idea to stand up in that case. when we were here two years ago we came here because ambri had voted narrowly for brexit, they voted to leave the eu by less tha n brexit, they voted to leave the eu by less than 1% —— banbury. we came here the morning after and people we re here the morning after and people were shellshocked, remember being here in the market and whether they we re here in the market and whether they were voting to leave or remain or in the middle they were shellshocked

and what did it all mean? what will it be like? with 12 months to we thought it would be good to come back and take stock and talk to people again. we know about michel barnier and article 50 but how much do we really know about where we are headed? i thought a good place to start would be where else? early morning shopping with banbury cakes. you have been told that we cannot have our cake and eat it in the brexit negotiation through this i think, to provide cake will be a good place to start. banbury banbury cake. while the politicians talk, tim ba kes. while the politicians talk, tim bakes. his banbury cakes are made to a 500 year old recipe. the secret blend of fruit and spice. i had a lwa ys blend of fruit and spice. i had always thought these were the most british cakes you could get but they are quite international. they are, really, i think people moved about yea rs really, i think people moved about

years ago, more than people realised. it was the free movement of trade and people that persuaded him to vote remain at with one year to go until brexit, he is still convinced he was right. to go until brexit, he is still convinced he was rightlj to go until brexit, he is still convinced he was right. i think it isa convinced he was right. i think it is a slow shambles, and expensive, slow shambles, and it is pull the economy down. if you look at the figures the economy is doing better than a lot of people thought, isn't it? everything is about confidence. everything is about confidence. banbury cross we once a fine lady rode a clock horse. however people voted here, many now seem confused and frustrated by all of the brexit talk of transitions and tariffs. and frustrated by all of the brexit talk of transitions and tariffsm isa talk of transitions and tariffsm is a subject that has gone on to such a long time. and the information we are given, is it correct, is it wrong? do we know what is happening with the whole brexit thing? i think people are talking and not actually making decisions and doing the doing. they

are sitting their sort of discussing things but nothing is actually being achieved. this one here is german. 0n the high street, malcolm is a neat. italian. fantastic! he says business is good at his outfitters. he voted live and is still feeling confident. i believe we will get a reasonable deal. it isn't in their interest to charge us, it isn't in our interest to charge them. it is like a divorce, there are always problems at the end result, both of you go away happier for it. not always. banbury boxing club. a union flag at half the members of the session are from other eu countries. petero came from the czech republic five years ago. she works in a coffee shop. she is confident now that she will be able to live here after brexit but she would like some clarity. i'm going to stay here, i wa nt clarity. i'm going to stay here, i want to, so we will see. i will keep

boxing, i will keep fighting in the ring or outside of it. fighting to stay. fighting to stay, yes. so the brexit countdown continues. and back in the bakery, tim's banbury cakes are ready. madejust the in the bakery, tim's banbury cakes are ready. made just the way they a lwa ys are ready. made just the way they always have been. consistency and tradition ahead of a year of change. here we have, i was going to save a packet of the finished article, lots of packets! i think it is probably not a great time to eat these. we will have one in a moment. mrs catherine barnard from uk and the changing europe, looking at our role in the eu and beyond and i guess the first question to ask is in 12 months people will wake up and say we're out of the eu, what is coming to be like? all people across the uk and in banbury noticed that morning? nothing! there will be no change.

what will happen on march 29 or 30 bartsch 2019 is we go into transition and is usually thought of as the dull stage but actually for us as the dull stage but actually for us it is crucial in the whole point about transition is more or less the status quo for the next 21 months, it will take us up to the end of december 2020 and it will take us up to the end of december2020 and in it will take us up to the end of december 2020 and in the period the whole intention is nothing will change for people on the ground. institutional levels, it means being involved in the european commission, parliament, court of justice, complete change. we are out of those decision—making bodies but the day to day experience of the people of banbury will be as it is now. the end of 2020 will be the real difference? the tide mark? absolutely. although there is a foot note. the reality is it may not be long enough to get us ready for the next phase of our life. 20 months is quite a short period the turnaround. an entire new system. of course we

still don't really know what the future is coming to look like because we have got the indications now of what a future deal may look like at it is incredibly skeletal. so in fact whether we need full customs checks on the borders, hopefully not, but we will need a customs infrastructure of some sort, it will take time to set up and as we know government and technology takes a while. the talks continue, the debates in brussels and london, they sit down and continue to do that for the next few months, have begun long enough to do a deal before this time next year? in other deals need to be done, the first is the withdrawal agreement which is the withdrawal agreement which is the divorce which is tied up with transition because even though what was agreed last week looks like we have got a transition deal sorted, it won't be confirmed until the rest of the article 50 package is sorted out and at what happened till october, possibly december of this year. we live in march 2019, and then the real hard work of got back

—— leave. this hasn't been a heartbeat? these things are relative, but in reality, negotiating the new deal will be demanding, difficult and time—consuming. david davis wants it sorted out, the secretary of state for exiting the eu, want it sorted. during the transition period. remember, the recent awful lot to sort out, negotiating takes time. catherine, thank you indeed. if you have been baffled by brexit already, it is only just have been baffled by brexit already, it is onlyjust begun. this is the easy bit. we need some sustenance. have you ever had banbury cake?|j have not, but i will start. meanwhile, let's get the news, travel and sport where ever you are watching bbc news. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara orchard. businesses around grenfell tower say

they are continuing to have difficulties months after the fire. some, like this nearby mosquito spraying business, say the trauma of the tragedy has meant it is hard to recruit people and that has severely affected the growth of the business. recruitment has been a nightmare for the simple reason that who wants to work next to, all who wanted to work next were building that people have died horrifically in terrible circumstances? many london artists have been left thousands of pounds out of pocket in what the musicians union is calling one of the worst scams they've seen in 20 years. band management universal, or bmu, signed up artists for exclusive management deals and charged up to £4,000 which they said would be refunded if the artists didn't get recording contracts. but bbc london has spoken to numerous artists who received no services at all, and no refund. bmu's ignored all the bbc‘s requests for an explanation. let's have a look at the travel situation now.

on the tubes this morning, the second day of strike action on the dlr continues with most services suspended. a limited service is operating this morning between beckton and poplar, and canning town and london city airport. on the trains, there is disruption on south west services between waterloo and clapham junction. on chiltern services, there are delays and cancellations via high wycomb, while london northwestern have suspended services between watford junction and st albans abbey. on the roads, there's northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach. it's slow from the woolwich road flyover. there's westbound traffic on the a13 building from dagenham into barking. crouch hill remains closed between holly park and japan crescent for bridge maintenance work at crouch hill station. let's have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning, there is more wet weather in the forecast for us today but not for most places until

we get into the afternoon. a chilly but bright start to the morning, lots of early sunshine but with temperatures hovering above freezing it will feel quite cold. the sunshine should last for at least the first half of the morning and then we will start to see more cloud bubble up here and there and eventually see the showers, of them could be heavy and thundery in nature and stable merge together to give what feels like longer of rain as we head towards the end of the dates are quite await hour home. top temperatures between six and nine degrees is obvious which is quite cool to this time of year. they could be more heavy thundery downpours as we had through this evening at the show was will fade away overnight, we start tomorrow between 2— four degrees celsius, and bit more cloud around than the rest this morning. as we head into good friday, we are expecting further longer spells of rain i think on and off through the day the whip will be quite a showery, what sort of day, temperatures nine or 10 degrees, sank off this time of year over the weekend, rather unsettled at times

but also lots of dry weather on saturday is today. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though, it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we'll bring you all the headlines in a moment, but still to come on breakfast this morning: could a musician's win at the high court for hearing damage at work set a precedent for people working in the music industry if they've also suffered hearing loss? as we know, it's a year till we leave the eu. as the deadline approaches, how will new immigration caps affect the jobs market? his albums have been number one around the world,

now sam smith is back on tour with his second album and we've been to meet him between shows. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. theresa may will visit all four of the uk nations today to mark a year to go until the planned departure from the european union. in an appeal to voters who backed both leave and remain, the prime minister will pledge to keep the country strong and united after brexit. she will also make a commitment to increase the powers of the devolved administrations. the liberal democrats remain the only party in westminster who are officially campaigning for a second eu referendum. tom brake is their brexit spokesperson and hejoins us now. thank you for your time this morning. this day in a year will be history in the making, i wonder what your thoughts are today? first of

all, of course, there's nothing certain about this, the uk can still, if it wants to, change its mind and revoke article 50. i suppose what concerns me is that although the prime minister has been very positive about the transition agreement that's been reached, if you look at the detail, and in particular not the sections of it in green, but the sections that were white, there are still major areas where there is no agreement and of course ireland and northern ireland is one of those but also for insta nce is one of those but also for instance the role of the european court ofjustice, cyprus, for instance, the bases on cyprus, and indeed whether we can or can't continue to have cornish pasties is something that is not yet agreed. you said a moment ago that there is still time, is it your... the lib dems' official position that there should be a second referendum, just be clear on that for us, and also

what makes you think that anyone is thinking any differently than they did around the time of the referendum? first of all, it's not a second referendum, we would say it's a vote on the deal because now we know the facts. for instance, during the referendum campaign it was said the referendum campaign it was said the country would pay nothing to leave the eu, now we know that's going to be £35 billion, £40 billion, and in the transition agreement there's a section on how those payments will continue after 2020. also one thing that's very clear is the level of complexity thatis clear is the level of complexity that is involved in us leaving the eu is much, much higher than anyone thought, and the evidence of the polls is that people want a vote on the deal. in other words, people don't trust ministers and members of parliament to make the decision about what the final arrangement between the uk and the eu is going to look like, and of course that is something which really we have no clarity on at present at all. so

there is a demand from the public for that vote on the deal, and that is in our view, the liberal democrat view, the democratic route to provide people with another option, and that is the option to stay in the european union. tom brake, liberal democrat brexit spokesperson from westminster. police say former russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter were probably poisioned at their home after high levels of a nerve agent were found at theirfront door. the pair were found collapsed on a bench in salisbury on march the fourth, and remain in a critical condition. police say inquiries will focus on their home address but the risk to locals is low. the head of the labour party's internal disputes panel has stepped down after it emerged she'd opposed the suspension of a local election candidate accused of holocaust denial. christine shawcroft sent an email calling for the reinstatement of alan bull, who was due to stand for peterborough council in may.

in a statement she apologised and said she had not been aware of the abhorrent facebook post that led to his suspension. mr bull has said the article he posted does not reflect his views. the parole board is facing its biggest shake—up in half a century after a decision to release sex offenderjohn worboys was overturned by the high court. the cab driver, who drugged and raped his passengers, was approved for release after serving just ten years of an indeterminate sentence. three judges ruled that the parole board failed to probe the credibility and reliability of worboys. health bosses are warning that hospital waiting lists will grow in the next financial year and patient care will suffer, unless the government addresses the issues with its latest pay offer. nhs providers added that plans for a long—term funding settlement must also be resolved if services are to improve. they claim the nhs in england doesn't currently have enough beds or staff. but the government says it's taking steps to support and fund the nhs. nobel peace prize winner malala yousafzai has returned to pakistan for the first time since being shot

by taliban militants. the 20—year—old human rights activist was shot in the head six years ago after campaigning forfemale education. she's expected to hold talks with the country's prime minister shahid khaqan abbasi during her visit. those are the main stories and john has the sport. starting with cricket, as we have been all week. it's been the main story, the cheating scandal as we know it, rocked australian, has gone right to the top with the prime minister having his sake and now we know the length of the bands being handed out to steve smith, who has been removed, the captain, he has been removed, the captain, he has been banned for a year, david warner, the vice captain, he has been singled out as the ringleader by changing the shape of the ball so it was harder to bat against an cameron bancroft, the morejunior of the three, has been banned for nine months and we've been hearing from

the head coach, darren lehmann, for the head coach, darren lehmann, for the first nine —— first time, a lot of people saying how could the head coach not know about the plan to cheat? steve smith will arrive back in australia this morning after flying back from south africa following his year—long ban from the sport. he was criticised in cricket australia's investigation into what went on for not stopping the plan to cheat and for instructing cameron bancroft to hide the piece of sandpaper he was using to tamper with the ball down his trousers. the head coach though believes the players deserve some sympathy. there's a human side of this. they've made a mistake, as everyone, including myself, has made mistakes in the past. these are young men and i hope people will give them a second chance. their health and well—being is extremely important to us. it is interesting to hear from darren lehmann because you might have seen when it happened on the saturday that they only got rumbled because pictures appeared on the big screen in the ground and one of the

key points was darren lehmann was seen on a walkie—talkie communicating with someone on the boundary to say to bancroft, who was cheating, you have been caught on camera. if he was saying that, that was why people thought he must have known what was going on. he's saying that's the first point he knew about the whole cheating scandal. interesting really. we're hearing from those at the centre of it. we should hear from we should hearfrom steve we should hear from steve smith when he lands this morning. now we've heard from david warner for the first time, who was the player who devised the plan to cheat. he put this on social media about an hour ago. i think that was something you mentioned earlier, naga, about the damage it has done to young players and he references that. these are heroes to lots of people, lots of

children. what are they learning from them? exactly! and australia have the fourth test to play tomorrow. we will see how they fare, how they are mentally going into that match. later england begin their second test with new zealand later after being well beaten in the first, remember they were bowled out for just 58 runs in theirfirst innings. chris woakes and moeen ali have been left out as they try to tie the two match series. root says he's disappointed in what he saw from the aussies in johannesburg. it wasn't nice footage, was it? it wasn't nice to see unfortunately... that's how things played out. i know from the limited experience i've had dealing with steve and coming across him, he does love cricket and he loves the sport, and i'm sure he'll be hurting at the moment. big news this morning in the women's champions league. there are two english clubs into the last four of the women's champions league for the first time. chelsea beat french side

montpellier 3—1 last night, 5—1 on aggregate. england's fran kirby scored twice to help secure chelsea's first semi—final in the competition. they'll face german side wolfsburg, who have knocked them out in both of the past two seasons. they'll be joined by manchester city who made it into the semi—finals for a second straight season with a 5—3 win on the night over swedish side linkoping. two goals from georgia stanway who already led 2—0 from the first leg. they'll face lyon when the semi—finals take place in the last two weeks of april. now, who said school isn't great fun? well, it certainly is when you get a visit from this guy. take a look at this video from liverpool's insta account. this the moment football—mad boys got the surprise of their lives as they mocked up commentary on one of mo salah's many goals. what i love is alzheimer pros, they

still stayed glued to the microphones! even when he appears that ultimate pros. there's a couple more as well. i love that. —— ultimate pros. carrying on with the commentary! a career in commentary destined for them. sorry to anyone watching if you're going to school today and your footballing hero doesn't pop out. you never know! all the kids will be like that around the kids will be like that around the corridors! thanks, john, see you later! if you think about dangerous places to work, the glorious surroundings of the royal opera house don't immediatley spring to mind. but yesterday, a viola player won a landmark court case after suffering serious damage to his hearing while performing with an orchestra at the historic london venue. the high court heard that chris goldscheider was exposed to noise of 130 decibels, that's equivalent to a jet taking off, while sitting in front of the brass section. doctor greg nassar is an audiologist and can tell us more. good morning. it is hard to imagine

130 decibel is, would you be right next to the jet taking off? that's getting to the dangerous level of exposure and would cause instant damage —— decibel is. exposure and would cause instant damage -- decibel is. what kind of damage, you have a model here? the damage, you have a model here? the damage we would look attwood be permanent damage to the hair cells in the inner ear, the fine organ responsible for detection and delivering sound to the brain —— would look attwood be. who is exposed potentially? anyone who gets this kind of sound. sounds which we re this kind of sound. sounds which were once tolerable are now intolerable, everyday sounds like pots and pans, dishwasher, chopping boards will be abnormally loud. pots and pans, dishwasher, chopping boards will be abnormally loudm this case we have an orchestra member who has won what's called a landmark case. what are the

locations of this? the invocations are reading thejudge's report at the end is that they have now treated noise as, of course, the industry. whereas an injury three factory wise, we have strict rules about levels were protection needs to be monitored and protected and forced and audited but these rules have never applied to the leisure industry. you're a doctor rather than an musician but your thinking a musician needs to hear, in a factory you might be able to block out the noise because it doesn't help you but if you're a musician you need to hear it? you need to hear the fine harmonics of your colleagues and your intros and there are lots of custom—made music protection with a lovely flat frequency response that aims not to damage or attenuate frequencies at different levels, it does everything equally, hopefully

maintaining the quality of music so here plugs have been common for many yea rs, here plugs have been common for many years, i was at harley street hearing and in north—west hearing and issuing these two musicians for many years. i go to the cinema and i get annoyed when we do the sound thing, they demonstrate how good the soundin thing, they demonstrate how good the sound in and it has that big noise —— sound is. it is too noisy. what are the invocations of this? if someone has been sat watching an orchestra perform, concert venues need to be thinking about this, cinemas, hospitals. nightclubs, you have to think about your sound engineers, lighting engineers, bar staff, doormen, anyone exposed to leisure noise in whateverform, they must think about whether protection needs to be offered and enforced, whether they need to be particular areas. what about people just going toa areas. what about people just going to a concert? people attending voluntarily, they will be made aware that this is potentially going to cause damage to their hearing but of course that subjectively a choice as

opposed to a vocation or a work.“ there a sliding scale of which instruments in the orchestra setting... which are the ones most likely to damage the ear? it's not necessarily the instrument, it's the loudness, if it is loud, classic at the back would be very loud, some of the back would be very loud, some of the brass, the strings to the side wouldn't be quite as loud but could still get to dangerous levels. it's not about the exposure level, it's about the duration of exposure. you're going to come back later, aren't you? i am. we will have a trumpeter as well so people could have some questions about audio issues. thank you very much. thank you. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. what's going on with the weather over the next few days. this morning many of us are starting off on this morning many of us are starting offona this morning many of us are starting off on a dry note and some on a sunny note and some of us on a frosty one through the course of the day the cloud will build and they

will be more showers developing, some of which will be heavy and thundery with hills snow amid pale. that is from this area of low pressure, the weather front coming in enhancing those showers and we have another front draped across the far north—east of scotland, it is introducing some patchy rain and hills are all so. in between is where we have the bright start and the low temperatures and also some sunshine. through the day, as the low pressure the showers develop more widely across england, wales and northern ireland. rain continues across the far north—east, maybe with some sleep in the northern isles. the showers developing across parts of scotland. the brighter skies are likely to see across england and also scotland. we will hang onto the sean triumph of the longest. nevertheless, directors are disappointing, 1— three degrees lower than expected at this stage of march. —— temperatures. we drift further east here, the show

distribution changes, still across england and and moving further north, bumping into the cold air falling as the across the pennines and by the end of the night across the scottish borders. most lead with height. we still have the weak weather front draped across the north, reading some showers, and it would be as cold as the one just gone. mind you, looking at these temperatures, it won't be warm if you are out overnight. the easter weekend, changeable is the best way of describing it. rain at times, some sunshine, snow on the hills and generally, it will feel cool. good friday, low pressure continues to move eastwards, still having the rotation of showers around it, some showers merging to give longer spells of rain, are again will be heavy and thundery with some akrotiri. further north across scotland, the far north of northern england and northern ireland, brighter skies, also from sunshine, but is there a maximum temperature

there, aberdeen only four degrees, eight or nine as we pushed down towards the south of england. other tomic it is saturday the low pressure bill be anchored across the new continent, we will have this distribution of cloud, so fewer showers on saturday but bill will be around, the cloud building across england and wales and bright rather than sunny, but for the north, funny with some showers, still wintry across the hills of scotland, and on easter sunday itself a cold and frosty start, a lot of sunshine, injury showers around and then we watch the band of rain coming in, and a heads up on easter monday, it looks like it will move north—east and it might produce some snow in places, not everywhere. thank you very much. i was discussing with charlie, trying to figure out often if the weather is bad on the easter weekend it doesn't matter because it is the good excuse to sit and eat chocolate but i don't

know which day you are supposed to eat your easter eggs, sunday or monday? i think it is sunday because it is the end of lent and you tuck in. fill your boots. good advice! i am listening to you now! what do you mean now you are listening to me? i knew you would pick up on that! we've talked a lot on breakfast about the impact of brexit on european workers here in the uk. but what about non—european migrant workers? every month since december, demand for visas has exceeded the monthly allocation for workers from outside the eu. that's never happened before. the government says it's reviewing the visa system. madeleine sumption, director of the migration observatory, joins us now. good morning. it is no exaggeration to say that this is complicated. good morning. it is no exaggeration to say that this is complicatedm is. essentially there is a cap on the number of nonskilled workers coming to the uk in a given year and it has been on the books the years

but it didn't have any impact until relatively recently because the number of people coming in with less than the cap and what happens essentially is now that there are more people in the past year he wa nted more people in the past year he wanted to come into the uk, the cap has been met and so the government ra nks has been met and so the government ranks them and the people essentially if you have a short of an occupation or a ph.d. leveljob you get priority and then the ranking is based on salary is what it means essentially is that while the normal times when the cap hasn't been met, and non—eu member would be to raise £31,000 in a job to get to the uk but now the amount has gone up the uk but now the amount has gone up to £60,000 which means that a lot of skilled occupations that would previously have been eligible to play are not, whether it is accountants, play are not, whether it is accou nta nts, lawyers, play are not, whether it is accountants, lawyers, journalists, teachers, all across the spectrum. what does it tell us? is it good news in the sense that the jobs that we need non—eu workers to fill are being filled? 0r we need non—eu workers to fill are being filled? or does it mean because the cap is in place, we are

not able to fill them? the cap, the fa ct not able to fill them? the cap, the fact that the cap was met doesn't tell us whether the job has fact that the cap was met doesn't tell us whether thejob has been filled, it tells us the right employers who want to fill a job with a non—eu worker who are not able to and from an economic respect this, it is not controversial to say that this is likely to be a negative for the that this is likely to be a negative forthe uk, mainly that this is likely to be a negative for the uk, mainly because non—eu skilled workers who come in for work, the category that is thought to be the most economically beneficial because it is a high paid relatively productive people. looking ahead, one year and shall be live, brick that happens, —— we live. are you confident that people think there is a plan for how we will deal with the wider issues of immigration? there are two really big things that need to be dealt with in the context of brexit, the first is what happens to eu citizens already living here and how they

get, because they have been promised they will be able to keep their rights and win a fair amount about how the process will work but there are still a lot of detail that hasn't been announced. the bit we don't know anything about is what the immigration policy is going to look like after brexit so we have had a lot of immigration, eu citizens into low and middle skilled jobs for example, waiters, waitresses, food—processing, construction, particularly in london, and whether that will come to an end completely or if there will be new policies to help employers recruit from europe in those jobs, so we don't know. very interesting. thank you for your time. two number one albums around the world, grammies, an oscar, a golden globe, three brit awards, and now sam smith is at the start of a huge global tour. i went to meet sam yesterday. i still think of him as being quite

new but that is an amazing achievement in a short space of time. you are not wrong there, actually, it has happened overfive yea rs actually, it has happened overfive years and he isjust actually, it has happened overfive years and he is just 25, actually, it has happened overfive years and he isjust 25, soon actually, it has happened overfive years and he is just 25, soon to actually, it has happened overfive years and he isjust 25, soon to be 26 but still 25. he spoke about how happy he is now, but also the challenges he faced after mistakenly claiming to be the first openly gay man to triumph at the oscars ceremony. a lift of my head and the world is on fire. there is dread in my heart and fear in my bones. ijust don't know what to say. how important do you think it is for young people, and your young fans or wannabe young performers, to see a gay man on stage, happy, confident with his sexuality, not ashamed, not frightened, not private about it?|j think it is hugely important. and there is just not enough gay artist

out there in mainstream music right now. it has taken me a long time to get a place but i am feeling very confident in my sexuality and confident in my sexuality and confident about the i am making and before i felt almost... i didn't know enough about being a gay man and after me missing the oscars speech a little bit, it really kickstarted my obsession into finding out my history as a gay man. you mentioned the oscars and the oscars speech, you would have been very open about it that you made a mistake. how kind were you to yourself after you make a mistake? not very kind. at all. it was a really ha rd not very kind. at all. it was a really hard few months after that, for me. but honestly, i never, ever such they're blaming anyone else, i blame myself. and after a few months of being very sad about it, i turned

around and went actually, sam, you need to wise up and read a little bit more and if you are going to be in the public eye talking about your sexuality, you need to know what you are talking about. there is no room for mistakes. is it fair to say that you love love? the reason i ask if there is a big wedding coming up in a couple of months, i don't know... on my birthday! made the 90s? i am so upset about that. while you celebrate your birthday or wedding? definitely my birthday. i may be wearing a wedding dress. so you are not performing at the wedding? no, no, my birthday is more important. you will be 26, how would you celebrate? i will be in lisbon is doing my show there. i do love the royal sir i will have to have my birthday party with the tv on with it going on. i actually went to kate and while's wedding, i was in hyde

park drunk watching it on the screens, screaming when she came out in the dress so, and all of the queen, so i will be watching for sure. i will make it an event, i will have a royal birthday theme. are you happy? i am really, really happy. are you happy? i am really, really happy- i are you happy? i am really, really happy. i feel calm. which are you happy? i am really, really happy. ifeel calm. which is good. for the first time in a long time. happy. ifeel calm. which is good. for the first time in a long timelj wish you all the best. thank you so much were talking to us. no, thank you. a charming man. and that was the stage on which he was about to perform? yes, and he comes out of the stage, you will see it later, there is a chair under the stage and you kind of get flung along it and he comes out the top of it. it is really good fun! i got to have a go! sam is on tour and his album the thrill of it all is out now. and in around ten minutes, jon kay will be live from banbury market — the town like the rest of the uk voted narrowly for brexit. we'll be finding out whether attitudes have changed since.

that is the shot from the air there. it looks kate, actually. —— looks 0k .john said he it looks kate, actually. —— looks 0k . john said he was there one year ago and it is much colder now than it was one year ago. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara orchard. businesses around grenfell tower say they are continuing to have difficulties months after the fire. some, like this nearby mosquito spray business, say the trauma of the tragedy has meant it is hard to recruit people and that has severely affected the growth of the business. recruitment has been a nightmare for the simple reason that who wants to work next to a — or who wanted to work next to a building that, you know, people have died horrifically in, in terrible circumstances? many london artists have been left thousands of pounds out of pocket in what the musicians union is calling one of the worst scams they've seen in 20 years.

band management universal, or bmu, signed up artists for exclusive management deals and charged up to £4,000, which they said would be refunded if the artists didn't get recording contracts. but bbc london's spoken to numerous artists who received no services at all, and no refund. bmu's ignored all the bbc‘s requests for an explanation. let's have a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes this morning, the second day of strike action on the dlr continues with most services suspended. a limited service is operating this morning between beckton and poplar, and canning town and london city airport. on the trains, there is disruption on south western services between waterloo and clapham junction. on chiltern services, there are delays and cancellations via high wycomb, while london northwestern have suspended services between watford junction and st albans abbey. on the m25, two lanes are closed anticlockwise approaching j15 for the m4, for recovery work on a broken down lorry. delays have built up back through j16 at the m40 the a1m is down to one

lane southbound after j4 welwyn garden city following a two vehicle collision, queues are building. let's have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. there's more wet weather in the forecast for us today but not for most places until we get into the afternoon. now, it's a chilly but bright start to the morning. lots of early sunshine around but with temperatures hovering just above freezing, it will feel quite cold. so the sunshine should last for at least the first half of the morning, and then we will start to see more cloud bubble up here and there and eventually we'll start to see these showers. some of the showers could be heavy and even thundery in nature and they'll merge together to give what feels like longer spells of rain, i think, as we head towards the end of the day, so quite a wet rush hour home. top temperatures between six and nine degrees celsius which is really quite cool for this time of year. there could be more heavy,

thundery downpours as we head through this evening but the showers will gradually fade away overnight. we'll start the day off tomorrow between around 2—4 degrees celsius. there will be a bit more cloud around than there is this morning. now, as we head into good friday, again, we are expecting further longer spells of rain, i think, on and off through the day, so it will feel quite a showery, wet sort of day. temperatures again nine or 10 celsius. staying quite cool for this time of year over the weekend, rather unsettled at times, but also lots of dry weather on saturday and easter day. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the whole of the uk in a day — theresa may embarks on a whistlestop tour with one year to go to brexit. she promises to keep the country strong and united, but critics say time's running out to get a deal done. as the prime minister wheezes round

the uk, we've been whizzing round the uk, we've been whizzing round the market town of banbury to ask people hear how they are feeling with 12 months to go before we leave the uk -- with 12 months to go before we leave the uk —— wheezes round. —— the -- the eu. good morning, it's thursday, the 29th of march. also this morning: a former russian spy and his daughter were probably poisoned at their home. police say high levels of nerve agent were found on the front door. the criminal justice system in the dock — victims of the ‘black cab' rapist john worboys accuse the government of trying to shift the blame forfailings in the handling of his case. in sport, steve smith will arrive back in australia this morning following his year—long ban from the sport for his part in the ball—tampering scandal. meanwhile, his head coach maintains he had no prior knowledge of the plan to cheat. and carol has the weather. good morning. a cold and frosty

start to the day for many but also a dry and bright one. we've got some showers in the south—west and wales, they will develop more widely as we go through the course of the day, some heavy and thundery, and we will see further wintry showers developing in parts of scotland. more details in about 15 minutes. carol, thank you. good morning. first, our main story. exactly a year before the uk is due to leave the european union, theresa may will pledge to make brexit a success for everybody. she is due to visit england, scotland, wales and northern ireland today and will promise the country will remain strong and united after brexit. our political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. good morning, chris. we have this time ticking away, one year to go at 11pm tonight and we have the prime minister on a major tour, a charm offensive if you like? absolutely, good morning, there are many landmarks on the canvas out the

countdown to brexit but today is no doubt one of them, the dominating political issue of our time and the dom are taking issue as to how this prime minister will be remembered and judged that dominating issue. today marks the halfway point between the the triggering of article 50 to start the two—year countdown process —— dominating issues. and in a year at 11pm on this day next year when legally we will leave the european union. what will leave the european union. what will change? as we're hearing in the last hour on breakfast, asjohn was chatting to people in banbury, actually not a lot because yes, legally we will have left the eu, but the transition period will begin, a 644 day countdown before we leave many elements of the european union even if during that period we will technically be on the outside. so, what's being wrestled with between now and then? crucially the irish border, the 310

miles wiggle as it's known, how on earth is that kept open, as it is now, when it marks the frontier between the european union and the united kingdom? that a very, very big question. then there's the question of trade, how do we go about trading with our nearest neighbours and with the world once we're outside the european union and outside of the customs union, the single market, those two big entities associated with the eu? and then as well the question of immigration, such a central motivating factor for lots of people who voted for grexit. how soon will we actually have control of our own borders? it won't happen in a year's time because very little will change as far as immigration is concerned until the end of the transition period, the end of 2020 —— brexit. but the government promises a big new immigration plan after that. for the prime minister today, one of these big politician masochistic

symbolic trips taking in england, scotland, northern ireland and wales and then the hard work of brexit will continue and continue to dominate our news coverage. chris, thanks very much, we will speak to you later. and in around ten minutes jon kay will be live from banbury market, the town like the rest of the uk voted narrowly for brexit, we'll be finding out whether attitudes have changed since. we will also speak to dominate wrap, the conservative mp, a little later on at 7:40am. police say a former russian spy and his daughter were probably poisoned at their home after high levels of nerve agent were found on the front door. sergei and yulia skripal were found collapsed on a park bench in salisbury and remain in a critical condition. our correspondent duncan kennedy is there for us this morning. good morning. this news came through

really last night from the metropolitan police and one of the few pieces of information to come out of this enquiry, they're keeping the information close to their chest, and it comes after days and weeks of speculation about where the skripals came into contact with this nerve agent, was it mr skripal‘s car, the ventilation system, was it the pub in town they visited, these easy restaurant or the bench they we re easy restaurant or the bench they were found nearly 3.5 weeks ago now? but last night the police said no, the biggest concentration of the nerve agent was at their home behind me here and more than that it was on their front me here and more than that it was on theirfront door, me here and more than that it was on their front door, and the me here and more than that it was on theirfront door, and the bbc understands it could even have been the front door handle where the biggest concentration of the nerve agent has now been found. the police have sought to reassure the public that the risk is low, but as you can

see from these shots, there's still a lot of activity going on and the police say the biggest part of the investigation will concentrate at mr skripal‘s house. it all comes on top of the fact that something like 1300 pieces of evidence have now been gathered and the police have spoken to around 500 witnesses so very much an ongoing investigation concentrated here now at the home rather than in the centre of town. duncan, for the moment, thank you. the parole board is facing its biggest shake—up in half a century after a decision to release sex offenderjohn worboys was overturned by the high court. the cab driver, who drugged and raped his passengers, was approved for release after serving just ten years of an indeterminate sentence. three judges ruled that the parole board failed to probe the credibility and reliability of worboys. in 15 minutes we'll be speaking to a former parole board member and a campaigner fighting for changes to how the process works. the head of the labour party's internal disputes panel has health bosses are warning that hospital waiting lists will grow in the next financial year

and patient care will suffer unless the government addresses the issues with its latest pay offer. nhs providers added that plans for a long—term funding settlement must also be resolved if services are to improve, but the government says it's taking steps to support and fund the nhs. but the health bosses claim the nhs in england doesn't currently have enough beds or staff. at the moment, we are setting standards which our own trust leaders are telling us that they cannot achieve. so 55% of our trusts say that they are really worried about meeting their financial targets next year, and 35% of them have said even though they have signed up to it, they will not reach those targets. that shows us the kind of culture we're operating in. we've got to do something to ease that culture. when people are set targets and standards that they cannot meet, we lose confidence. the head of the labour party's internal disputes panel has an 18—year—old has been arrested after a number of schools and

colleges across the country got threatening e—mails. they said it was linked to a hoax bomb threat that closed hundreds of schools last week. he was arrested in abbots langley, hertfordshire, on suspicion of making malicious communications. the head of the labour party's internal disputes panel has stepped down after it emerged she'd opposed the suspension of a local election candidate accused of holocaust denial. christine shawcroft sent an email calling for the reinstatement of alan bull, who was due to stand for peterborough council in may. in a statement she apologised and said she had not been aware of the abhorrent facebook post that led to his suspension. mr bull has said the article he posted does not reflect his views. nobel peace prize winner malala yousafzai has returned to pakistan for the first time since being shot by taliban militants. the 20—year—old human rights activist was shot in the head six years ago after campaigning forfemale education. she's expected to hold talks with the country's prime minister shahid khaqan abbasi during her visit. nasa scientists are putting

the finishing touches to the parker solar probe ahead of its mission to the sun injuly. the spacecraft is the size of a small car and will orbit the sun 24 times. some pretty challenging conditions to face. it will have to survive temperatures as high as 1,400 degrees celsius. data sent back to earth will help scientsts understand why the sun's atmosphere is hotter than its surface, and also learn more about solar storms which can affect communication satellites. i think that is quite difficult to get your head around, that the atmosphere is hotter than the surface, the atmosphere of the sun is hotter than the servers of the sun. it's all pretty hot, we can all agree on that —— than the surface of the sun. it is hot out there! nasa will give us more details on that story when they find out more. we

will spend all afternoon talking about it now just will spend all afternoon talking about it nowjust more that! as we've been hearing, theresa may is embarking on trip around the four uk nations today as she tries to convince each country that we are strong and united as brexit approaches. but with 12 months to go, has public sentiment changed? we've sent our reporterjon kay to banbury this morning. he was there the day after we voted to leave, and he's returned to see how people feel today. it's quite reflective, banbury, because the vote was very close, just as across the whole of the uk the vote was very close? yeah, just a few hundred votes here, less than 196 a few hundred votes here, less than 1% difference, the town voted to leave the eu but onlyjust so we thought we would come back here today, it is market day, as it was two years ago and we thought we'd get a sense of what's going on. looking at the display as you're coming to us, you've got tomatoes from spain, you've got oranges from italy, you get a sense of european life as well as british life, all

the fruit and veg onjohn's stall, this is all british? most of it, except for the sprouting broccoli and the courgettes, everything else is english. you have been up until dough maxim 1am? 12:45am! how much of that time did you spend thinking about brexit? about two seconds. it doesn't affect me, it's all about the prices going up but i try to get the prices going up but i try to get the best products and sell them. the prices going up but i try to get the best products and sell themlj will let you go on with things. people likejohn said it doesn't affect them but some people are convinced it will affect them, for good and bad, and lots of people we spoke to are sitting in the middle and waiting and wondering what's going to happen. we've been getting a sense of life in banbury with a year to while the politicians talk, tim makes. his banbury cakes are made

to a 500—year—old recipe with a secret blend of fruit and spices. i'd always thought these were the most british cakes you could get, but they are quite international. well, they are. they are, really. i think people moved about years ago, more than people realised. it was the free movement of trade and people that persuaded tim to vote remain. and with a year to go till brexit, he is still convinced he was right. i think it is just a slow shambles, an expensive, slow shambles, and it's pulled the economy down. but if you look at the figures, the economy's actually doing better than a lot of people thought, isn't it? everything's about confidence. banbury cross, where once a fine lady rode a cock horse. however people voted here, many now seem confused and frustrated by all the brexit talk of transitions and tariffs. it's a subject that has gone on for such a long time.

and the information we're giving, is it correct or is it wrong? do we actually know what's happening with the whole brexit thing? i think people are talking and not actually making decisions and doing the doing. they're just sitting there sort of discussing things but nothing's actually being achieved. this one here is german. on the high street, malcolm is upbeat. then you've got italian. fantastic! he says business is good at his gent‘s outfitters. he voted leave and is still feeling confident. i believe that we will get a reasonable deal. it's not in their interest to charge us, it's not in our interest to charge them. the break up is like a divorce — there's always problems but in the end result, both of you go away perhaps happier for it. not always! banbury boxing club. a union flag but half the members at this session are from other eu countries. petra came from the czech republic

five years ago and works in a coffee shop. she's confident now that she will be able to live here after brexit, but she would like some clarity. i'm gonna to stay here! yeah, i want to, so we'll see. i will keep boxing, i will keep fighting in the ring or outside the ring. both? yeah. fighting to stay. fighting to stay, yeah. so the brexit countdown continues. alarm beeps and back in the bakery, tim's banbury cakes are ready. made just the way they always have been. consistency and tradition ahead of a year of change. we have got banbury cakes here, hot cross buns, we have had ourfive a day on the fruit and veg, a few early morning carbohydrates, you cannot go wrong. the market is up

and running, we have met some new people in the peace we have seen that we will catch up with some old friends. good morning. good to see you. brothers. indeed. but not to agree on brexit because will be met agree on brexit because will be met a few years ago, nigel was very strongly a leaver, and ian new worker remainer. any change? i think now we are all leavers. it has come around to my way of thinking. now we are all leavers. it has come around to my way of thinkinglj would vote the same way, i would press down with my stubby little penciljust a little bit harder knowing what we now know. how much do we know? how much do you feel you know right now with one year to go? i feel we are moving forward, it has been a mixture of emotions across the time since we were here before, deletion of the result, disappointment to the way that our politicians are behaving in certain respects in the uk, running down the country and diminishing opportunity for a great deal, frustration with

the eu to be honest but now i feel confident, as the clock ticks on actually we are moving forward and we are heading to a solution that will suit all sides. ian, do you match that confidence? i'm a natural optimist on the other hand i feel like we do know that much about what is happening and we haven't got far where we have had agreements with the eu they haven't been favourable, we have had to spend a lot of money, agree to continue with eu laws and so on and we are going to have a transition, 21 months, but i don't believe it is anywhere near long enough to actually put in place new arrangements that we need to have to make bricks at work. when we were sat here two years ago i don't even remember talking about article 50 or transition or any of that, it has become part of our vocabulary. how much did think it has changed in terms of your mindset? we have had to come to terms with the scale of it, finishing difficult negotiations, i think there is a

great prize at the end of it and we are making good progress. ian as a lwa ys are making good progress. ian as always resent is a slightly different negative way, it is difficult and hard but the reality, this is the new now and we need to get these deals, it is important for us as get these deals, it is important for us as it is that the eu to get them. i think we are coming into the moment where the hard compromises will have to be made on immigration, law, money, transition, customs. that means we are going to have to get the close partnership going forward with the eu. ok, brothers, still talking. stillarguing. in a yea rs still talking. stillarguing. in a years time maybe? likely, isn't it? back to you. spending some time a little later with him, interesting hearing some of the thoughts, one year to hearing some of the thoughts, one yearto go, hearing some of the thoughts, one year to go, but right now, let's show you a shot above london, rather

beautiful skyline, and carol is going to talk us through it. what is happening? can you see that? i can, look at the cloud and the sunrise, it is beautiful and it is across other parts, try and fine start for many but not everywhere of course but through the day, the cloud will start to build, we will see further showers develop and temperatures, cool showers develop and temperatures, cool, lower than they should be at this stage. we have low pressure just out towards the west of us and with it, that will enhance their showers as the showers rotate around it through the course of the day. another front across north—east scotla nd another front across north—east scotland is producing some light and patchy rain with some hill snow. in between a cold and frosty start but we have some sunshine. through the day as the low pressure front comes m, day as the low pressure front comes in, the cloud will continue building, showers developing more widely across england, wales and northern ireland and in the end them a bright spells but limited sunshine. some showers could be

heavy with some hail. the north—east scotland, we hang on to the cloud and patchy rain with further showers developing across central and eastern scotland and some of those wintry but writers prize for the longest will be across north—east england and also western scotland. temperatures only nine or 10. this evening and overnight, low pressure continues drifting east so we still have the rotation of showers around it, not everyone catches them, and still, some showers, wintry in the hills of scotland. as the low pressure m oves , hills of scotland. as the low pressure moves, we will start to the snow falling in the pennines and around the scottish border, mostly on the hills. a cold night, not as cold as the night but has just gone. the easter weekend, changeable. cold as the night but has just gone. the easterweekend, changeable. rain at times, some snow in the hills, i will tell you something about that on easter monday in a jiffy, equally cool but also some sunshine. good friday, as the low pressure drift

towards the near confident we will still have all the cloud around and some showers and some of them in the south merging to give longer periods of rain. again, heavy, thunderand possibly hail. entry showers further north but a least there it is dry and we have brighter skies. look at the temperatures, only four degrees in aberdeen. seven in birmingham. no great shakes really. for easter saturday, low pressure pushing to the near confident, the back edge of it still has some showers around, wintry with height, some sneak in the odd to be won. perforce leaked. —— in the heavy. cold enough to be wintry and on easter day itself a cold and frosty start, a lot of bright weather to start with, the cloud built in from the west all the time and head of the system coming m, time and head of the system coming in, bringing in some rain and this easter monday as it moves north eastwards could have some snow in it and not exclusively on the hills.

thank you, carol. the parole board is facing its biggest shake—up in half a century, after a decision to release sex offenderjohn worboys was overturned by the high court yesterday. the cab driver, who drugged, assaulted and raped his passengers, was approved for release after serving just ten years of an indeterminate sentence. the decision outraged the public and has led to the resignation of the board's chairman. we're joined now by two people who have different experiences of the process. professor andrew sanders is a former parole board member. he's in birmingham. and marie mccourt, her daughter helen was murdered 30 years ago. good morning to you both. thank you for being with us here this morning. marie, you have been through the most terrible ordeal. but events yesterday with the overturning of the parole board, what did that mean to you, given your own experience?

well, i think it is about time that the parole board were taken to task because to me, they are a law unto themselves. would i have attended pa role themselves. would i have attended parole hearings, i have gone to pa role parole hearings, i have gone to parole hearings, i have gone to parole hearings to some of the members in ourgroup parole hearings to some of the members in our group when we have lost somebody but mainly on my own case, when i have gone a long, they are very nice, they listened to you read your statement which they have but i come out and ijust feel like they are just but i come out and ijust feel like they arejust going but i come out and ijust feel like they are just going through a motion. so people understand how close you are to this story, your daughter's killer, tell us the circumstances as we speak now. my daughter was murdered by the local landlord of the pub and, on her way home from work, and she just disappeared, she was always on time.

we didn't have mobile phones then and she didn't come home that night and she didn't come home that night and the police very quickly, because i reported her missing, i was out of my mind, and the police acted very quickly, which was important, and he was arrested. he is still in jail now? he is, but her body has never been found and i need to give her a burial. what has been happening with him in terms of parole? they have to have, with the court of human rights, we have to have a parole hearing within two years once they have completed their minimum tariff. from there on, it is up to the pa role from there on, it is up to the parolejudges then. i have been fortu nate parolejudges then. i have been fortunate that he has been kept in. he has done 30 years now. however, i do believe that he should be released because how can he be released because how can he be released and he refuses to acknowledge his guilt, say where my

daughter's body is, and i have a helin's law boeing which is nobody, no parole. —— helen's law. helin's law boeing which is nobody, no parole. -- helen's law. do you feel like your voice is heard? across all of this, it is still a real issue for you, do you feel like are voices heard? i think they are sympathetic which is not something that i want, i want action. i believe that, yes, they are nice and sympathetic and they listen but for insta nce sympathetic and they listen but for instance the last one i attended, i went along, i asked the judge precisely after i had finished reading my statement, because i would just go in and read my statement and then i would come out. and they get on then with the rest of the parole hearing on his side. i asked thejudge of the parole hearing on his side. i asked the judge can you tell me how long will i have to wait to find out

your decision? and he went two weeks. two weeks. and i said well thank you very much and i went out. i waited two weeks of torment. what is happening. and on the date, the 14th day, my phone rang at about 930 in the morning to say really sorry marie but the hearing didn't go ahead. and i nearly exploded. isaid i hearing right? isaid i was told, i asked specifically and i was told i would be informed of their decision in 14 days. i said and you are telling me that they knew this hearing didn't go ahead and they have kept me on edge for two weeks? people would understand how that would compound all of the emotions that you are feeling. let's talk to

professor sanders. thank you for joining us. hopefully you have been able to hear what marie has been talking about and her experience and isa talking about and her experience and is a former parole member, marie has used words like law unto themselves, going through the motions, and the lack of sympathy, it almost feels, or understanding, that has been conveyed to people who have to go and basically put their emotions or lives on hold while decisions are made. do you think this is a fair reflection of people's experiences in your experience? unfortunately, i do think that marie's experiences are shared by many other people and everything is we could do to make the process better. for example, she described how she read at her statement and then had to leave. it must feel hurtful to be excluded from the process like that and then not to be, have proper communication afterward. again, it must be hurtful. the system could be made better. in a case like this ball boy

's case, we didn't need that to make it better, many of us have been saying for many years that the case could involve victims much more effectively. -- warboys case. in relation to that case of course, nick hardman has been effectively made to resign. do you think this was the correct move all the correct process , was the correct move all the correct process, some people are saying he has been used as a scapegoat. what is your opinion? 40 years ago it was common for people in his position to resign when this kind of thing happened. it doesn't happen so much recently. there is a case we were saying that he was well - of his nick
