abc news in australia has an intriguing story. a smart watch has helped south australian police arrest and charge a woman with murder, after data from the victim's watch device contradicted the defendant's version of events. that case still going on. and finally on bbc news, a group of austrians are using an ancient tradition to turn stale bread into beer to fight food waste. the vienna shop uses brown rolls to make ale, white rolls to make lager. they're trying to raise awareness of food waste in the eu. we will drink to that. so let's begin. with me is priya lakhani, founder and ceo of century tech. we will begin with the independent‘s story. it is a very nice picture. but a deeply frightening story. absolutely, this has rocked the world, in terms of reaction we have seen from dozens of nations, taking action against russian —— russia over this. this is great. she is up,

she is eating and drinking, is what we know. daniel samford, our correspondent, said she was talking as well. that is interesting, because obviously russia were asking for contact with herjust recently because they want to get to the bottom of this. what we are seeing, actually, as a result of all of this, with what is going on between us this, with what is going on between us and the us and russia expel in diplomat... and more on that in a second. —— expelling diplomats. but even the use of the word, in proving rapidly, that has a big impact on many people who have so heard so many people who have so heard so many versions of what this nerve agent might do and what state it might leave them in. —— improving rapidly. yes, it terrified people, it is still terrifying. but this is really positive. only 2a hours ago we we re really positive. only 2a hours ago we were hearing it was deadly. so this is really positive news, which is great. it is a bit of a miracle.

it feels like it a little bit. it came out of the blue. you mentioned the diplomatic situation, we have a tit—for—tat, now we have had another one. one does wonder, who will draw a line on this? that is what is equally terrifying, in a way. where is this going to go? dealing with russia, we don't know. but everybody is hoping that somebody will draw a line under this. the prime minister is in line under this. the prime minister isina line under this. the prime minister is in a difficult position, having to deal with this. it is amazing is that she has rallied all the support, which is really a pat on the back for theresa may. i think she is in her element when she is dealing with security. we will see how things pan out with russia. let's move on to the arab news, focusing on malala yousafzai, back in pakistan, it is six years now since she was shot in the head there. i note, with some cynicism, that the prime minister has been very keen to welcome her, and that is where she sort of started her

mission back. a big moment for the country, really. it is only right that she goes straight to the prime minister. she is an icon now. not just in pakistan, but globally. so the fact that she has been welcomed by him,i the fact that she has been welcomed by him, i think, is only right. she has gone back in their, there are school children queueing up to see her. —— in there. this was a surprise visit, they didn't know about it in pakistan until she arrived. it is likely to be a short visit. she was overwhelmed with tea rs, visit. she was overwhelmed with tears, somebody who is normally so composed. she had her head in her hands, really. she was crying. i think she is relieved to just be able to go home for a few days. the prime minister has said, terrorism has been eliminated. she would want to go back into a safer environment. i don't think she is going to go back to the swat valley. —— swat valley. that would be too much of a

security risk. yes, she is not going home home. the prime minister has used this as an opportunity to say that terrorism is over, but obviously we know that, recently, it has not been over in pakistan. that isa has not been over in pakistan. that is a message that he is trying to spread around the world. overall this is a really positive story, the fa ct this is a really positive story, the fact she has gone back, i think it is great for pakistani children and great for education, and hopefully she will be able to revisit soon. nobody would dispute it has been a most extraordinary story, hasn't it? from utterly dreadful and tragic to this incredible journey that she has had. but while the arab news is focusing on it, there are noises saying that it is far too much attention for one girl. there are loads of people out there doing pretty amazing things and we should perhaps spread the love a bit. yeah, i have heard the same thing. what she says and what she has been shouting to the taliban is, you gave mea shouting to the taliban is, you gave me a voice. actually, you amplified my voice. by shooting her. there is

obviously whispering in pakistan, some people are not so happy with her returning, but overall, as somebody who is a huge advocate for education, especially for girls, i would say this is an absolutely positive things. —— thing. would say this is an absolutely positive things. -- thing. let's move on to our next story. another picture story, the first instance. this is the vw, it is described as a graveyard , this is the vw, it is described as a graveyard, it it is the biggest parking lot i have ever seen. all these cars they have had to buy back, at such a vast expense, more than $7 million —— $7 billion, and they are sitting out there in the desert. this is a result of september 2015's admission that they circumvented the emissions control system. they have reinforced to take back 85% of these vehicles. a say there are 83%. what this means is, 350,000 vehicles are sitting around.

what i find fascinating is that they have a foot or stadium in detroit and they have a paper mill in minnesota and a desert site in california. —— football stadium. i wonder at what point, are vw taking back more cars than they are sending out? even with these, they have resold 13,000, and they have destroyed 20 8000. you know, it is not... well, it was never a positive story. it really teaches you a lesson as a corporation. do not do this. this is what is going to happen. what has happened here is absolutely significant for them, and what we are seeing is further stories, obviously, in cities talking about banning diesel cars, and vw having to buyback cars there. this is amounting to huge losses for vw, obviously. yes, the german cities, that is interesting, because this whole scandal is before the decision to say no to diesel. this whole scandal is before the decision to say no to diesellj

think decision to say no to diesel.” think it helps that. this entire scandal fuels the anti— diesel campaign. —— fuelled. they haven't helped themselves, really. another fascinating story. i should mention this is a court case that is still going on, we are in the thick of it, but the gist of it is, a 57—year—old woman who was found murdered, her daughter—in—law said she had been attacked by a couple of men from outside the house, initially. and 110w outside the house, initially. and now police have arrested her daughter—in—law for the murder and they are basing it on smart watch data. yeah, this is fascinating. it is an ongoing case. nobody has been convicted. what they are dealing with ears, they are using a smart watch, so there was a smart watch being warned by the victim, this grandmother who has died. —— dealing with is. it has recorded her walking into her home at a certain time, 6:30pm, it obviously records heart

rate and movement and activity, we know what these watches are tracking. many of us have them. and with heartrate measurements, they are able to look at the measurements and then see those measurements, are they consistent with her body going into shock and losing consciousness? the debate now is, can they use that as evidence in court? because what the defendant has said is that she has given certain facts relating to her case and they are saying that these potentially looking consistent. —— look inconsistent. it is fascinating, the law and courts using evidence, or trying to use evidence, which we have never seen before. mobile device forensics, which is growing all the time. it is a way of life now. it is, yes. it will eventually have to be incorporated into all court cases, i guess. we still have time to look at the story we are running online, actually, turning bread into beer. any excuse. but seriously, the

austrians have come up with a very smart ruse. we actually saw this in 2015 in brussels, it is called the brussels via project. food waste is a big problem. there is a company in the uk which is trying to address this, looking at food before it is wasted and before it goes off, reallocating it within neighbourhoods. incredibly successful in the uk. this is really about recycling bread. austrians waste so much bread, that bread could feed over 1 waste so much bread, that bread could feed over1 million people. this is a really novel way of trying to save bread, turn it into beer, and hopefully we drinkjust as much as idle, or more. well, the austrians drink a lot of ale. thank you for being with us. you are watching the breathing. goodbye for 110w. “— watching the breathing. goodbye for now. —— briefing. hello.

make no mistake, there is a lot of weather of varying types to come this easter weekend. some of it could cause some problems, too. there'll be some rain around at times. notjust that — some snow. easter monday looks a troublemaker, we'll see that at a moment. temperatures on the cool to cold side of average, but there will be some drier, sunny moments too. we'll detail all of that as we look throughout the entire easter weekend, starting with good friday. there will be some snow showers affecting parts of northern scotland from the word go, recovering to some of the higher routes, an area of hill snow moving from north—east england across other parts of eastern scotland. heavy showers developing in southern england, reaching into parts of wales, the midlands, east anglia later in the day, maybe with a rumble of thunder. single—figure temperatures, colder still in easterly winds across the northern half of the uk. just one or two showers, but sunny spells into northern ireland. the moisture with these showers starts to feed up the bit further north into saturday morning. an increasing chance of seeing a bit of snow into the tops of the welsh hills, maybe into the pennines going into saturday morning. these are your overnight temperatures.

still some of the snow showers in the hills in north—east scotland, as well. now, for saturday, the reason we are seeing some rain and hill snow is this area of low pressure. but tonight it's going to edge its way eastwards. but it's still going to get into parts of england and wales. some outbreaks of rain and some hill snow into the pennines. so all of this has to slide away eastwards during the day. some western parts may start to brighten up. still, as wintry showers move north, north—east scotland, south—east scotland getting along quite well, although still be rather cloudy. still a chilly breeze across the coast towards the north—east. the single—figure temperatures once again. but look at this — easter day, sunday. well, the winds are lighter, for a start. you may catch the odd shower, a frost to begin with, a few fog patches clearing. a few sunny spells around — most places are actually dry. the rain and the strengthening wind coming across south—east england later in the day, that is a sign of things to come for easter monday. here comes another area of low pressure. certainly got some moisture associated with it, it's feeding northwards. quite chilly air on easter monday. and that means rain, yes, but feeding into the colder air, the chance for some snow as it

spreads further north, as well, maybe notjust on hills. some of that could be disruptive, as well, but there's still a lot to play for. of course, easter monday is several days away. butjust an early heads up that if you are travelling on easter monday, you do need to keep across that forecast, because of that risk of snow that could cause some disruption. and we will, of course, keep you updated over the next few days. that's your latest forecast. hello — this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. a remarkable recovery. yulia skripal — the daughter of the former russian spy posioned in salisbury — is said to be conscious and talking. good morning. it's good friday, march 30th. also this morning: new bail rules have led to thousands of crime suspects some

involving murder and rape being released without any conditions. a third of councils in england say they can't afford to meet the costs of looking after children with special eduational needs. in sport, the crying game. the australian cricket coach resigns and the now former captain
