designed to speed up cancer diagnoses are being introduced in england. gps will be able refer patients who have vague symptoms including unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain and fatigue, to the so—called one—stop shops, where they can undergo tests for different cancers. here's more from our health correspondent dominic hughes. it helped me focus more on what my symptoms were... when john lost 14 kg of weight injust symptoms were... when john lost 14 kg of weight in just a few weeks, combined with nausea and fever, alarm bells started ringing. the fear was he had developed cancer. butjohn had no specific symptoms, so was butjohn had no specific symptoms, so was referred to in new specialist unit at airedale hospital in west yorkshire. fast track team, take blood straightaway, mri scans, ct scans more or blood straightaway, mri scans, ct scans more oi’ less blood straightaway, mri scans, ct scans more or less straightaway. you get to know what is possibly wrong with you instead of waiting weeks and weeks to some results to come

back, and the worrying all that time. the eight-hour clinic is one of ten in england designed to speed up of ten in england designed to speed upa of ten in england designed to speed up a candidate gnosis, where patients with non—specific symptoms likejohn patients with non—specific symptoms like john and be patients with non—specific symptoms likejohn and be seen by one team who can give a fast decision, rather than waiting to different departments to carry out several tests before a diagnosis is made. the event it is that patients can have all the tests they need in one place rather than having to go back and forth to different departments. the quicker we can get the diagnosis of cancerfor a the quicker we can get the diagnosis of cancer for a patient, the quicker we can get the diagnosis of cancerfor a patient, the quicker we can start treatment, which means better outcomes. various doctors hadn't picked up on the fact that it might be a tropical disease...m turns out thatjohn's symptoms may not be cancer at all but a form of malaria. the aim is that every patient likejohn is malaria. the aim is that every patient like john is given malaria. the aim is that every patient likejohn is given the all clear, or a diagnosis within 28 days. labour leaderjeremy corbyn has been criticised for attending an event organised by a left—wing group critical of mainstream jewish organisations.

it comes hours after mr corbyn promised "water—tight" investigations into claims of anti—semitism within his party. photographs on the guido fawkes website appear to show mr corbyn meeting members of "jewdas" to mark the jewish festival of seder. a labour spokesman said he was there in a personal capacity. local councils in england will have a legal duty to offer more help to anyone at risk of homelessness, as part of a new law coming into force today. previously, authorities only had to provide housing if people were judged to have a priority need. 0ur correspondent lisa hampele reports. the plight of england's estimated 4,750 rough sleepers, more than double than five years ago, was starkly highlighted by the winter snowstorms, but it's notjust rough sleepers on the increase. the charity, crisis, says there are now around 160,000 homeless households, including those in temporary accommodation. today the homelessness reduction act, aimed at cutting the numbers,

comes into force. it places legal duties on english councils, so that everyone who is homeless or at risk of homelessness will have access to meaningful help. councils are now obliged to start assessing someone who is at risk of being made homeless 56 days in advance. it was 28 days. today represents a massive step forward. it won't solve rough sleeping and the causes of homelessness overall — what it means is that those who are affected by it, that homelessness can be prevented and, crucially, no longer will some people be entitled to help, all people will be entitled to help from their local council in england. similar measures came into force in wales three years ago. it reduced the numbers of people needing to be re—homed radically. scotland has been doing the same since 2003. the government is giving english councils £77 million to fund the measures. but critics say welfare cuts

and a lack of affordable homes are the real problem. we'll be speaking to the mp behind the new law and a woman who has experienced homelessness at 8:10 this morning. south african president cyril ramaphosa and nobel laureate desmond tutu have led tributes to the anti—apartheid campaigner winnie madikizela—mandela, who died yesterday at the age of 81. to her supporters she was referred to as the "mother of the nation" but in later years her reputation became tainted legally and politically. let's speak to our southern africa correspondent pumza fihlani, who is in johannesberg. good to see you this morning, there was to reputations that winnie madikizela mandela had, but regardless her death will be noted significantly in south africa? that's right, tributes are pouring infor that's right, tributes are pouring in for winnie madikizela mandela, people were calling to her house

until three o'clock in the morning, and we expect more people to go to the family home this morning to pay their respects. you mentioned that they were controversies or two legacies are around winnie madikizela mandela, but for the majority of south africans she continued to remain somebody who would be celebrated for her fierce role in the fight against partake, and for continuing to use her voice in politics even to the end, to speak truth to power, even against the ruling african national congress. —— apartheid. selling ivory in the uk is to become illegal after more than 61,000 people supported a public consultation calling for a ban. ministers say new laws will mean those breaching the proposed ban will face an unlimited fine or up to five years in jail. alison freeman reports. young elephants playing in botswana. but behind this heartwarming scene isa but behind this heartwarming scene is a much more sad trouble. the

elephants are orphans. their parents are among the thousands killed in africa each year for the tasks. african nations have been calling on the rest of the world to halt the trade in antique ivory, to help curb poaching. and today the environment secretary michael gove announced the uk plans to dojust secretary michael gove announced the uk plans to do just that. after a public consultation on sales ban received an overwhelming response in of it. conservation groups say they hope the move will put a stop to the shocking decline in the world's elephant population. around 20,000 assorted —— are slaughtered every year to feed global demand five array. that has the number of elephants drop by almost a third over the past decade. it has been possible to sell items made with ivory before 1947 in britain without a certificate, but the new ban would all but stopped that. china, the us and france have tightened their approach to ivory sales, but campaigners hope the uk's stance

will help other eu countries to follow suit. train services in france are likely to be severely disrupted today as railway workers begin what they say will be three months of rolling strikes. with just 12% of high—speed trains are expected to run, it's being seen as the biggest challenge yet to labour reforms proposed by president emmanuel macron. unions strongly oppose mr macron's plans to open up the state—owned train company. a british satellite designed to clean up rubbish in the earth's orbit has been launched into space. the removedebris project was on board a spacex falcon 9 rocket which successfully took off from florida last night. the satellite, which features a large net to collectjunk, will be delivered to the international space station before astronauts begin using it next month. the singer sophie ellis—bextor has asked fans to keep an eye out for her tuktuk after it was stolen from outside her house in west london. she said there couldn't be many of the motorised rickshaws about, so it should be

fairly conspicuous. the ‘murder on the dance floor‘ star took to twitter to say she would offer a ride in the little car as a reward if fans found it. i hated when my tuktuk goes away. he says. holly's here with the sport. i would love to bring you some good news, when it comes to cricket this seasonit news, when it comes to cricket this season it has been a long winter hasn't it. it has not been easy, but it is not very often i can bring you some good news. but with about an hour left in the second test in new zealand, england need three more wickets, and if light does do what we are hoping it will do, fingers crossed we should have a good results. three more wickets for a win? to victory in new zealand. it is not very often we get to say that

when it comes to english cricket. it's not long ago, and our three wickets. it has been a season where life has never played on our site, weather has not played on our site, and it is just weather has not played on our site, and it isjust edging in for england cricket fans, so fingers crossed we may have a result in the next few hours. it's a race against time — with maybe around an hour of play left, england still need three wickets on the final day to win the second test against new zealand in christchurch. they've taken seven wickets so far, but they're meeting some stiff resistence from the new zealand batsmen. an england win would mean the series would be tied 1—1. and you thought we'd make it to the end of the premier league season without another managerial casualty. now, alan pardew‘s unhappy spell at west bromwich albion is over after just four months. he's left the club via mutual consent. it follows a run of eight defeats in a row, which has left them at the bottom of the premier league table. after almost four miles,

there was an amazing finish to the irish grand national at fairyhouse when the first five horses all crossed the line almost together, but it was the 20:1 chance general principle got there first. playing in her 250th professional tournament, pernilla lindberg's first victory came in emphatic fashion with a major title at the ana inspiration. this putt brought to an end an eight hole play—off against inbee park, resulting in some wild celebrations and unusual attire for the trophy presentation. is that a dressing down? theyjumped into the lake. -- dressing down. -- down. she must be delighted, it has been a long time coming further stop — gown. been a long time coming further stop -- gown. i am in favour of more

dressing gowns in all parts of life. easter weekend has been quite tough to some people. it really was one of those weekends, a lot of rain pretty much everywhere but in some places, the peak district, we are seeing pictures now, this is pure winter. snowploughs out in force in cumbria, the isle of man the mountain road was closed, and yet we are talking about temperatures, i could not control myself yesterday, because i was getting excited about some higher temperatures. and we still have this wide contrasts across the country. the higher temperatures will be next weekend. we could hit 15 celsius. 0ne will be next weekend. we could hit 15 celsius. one of our weather watchers sent this in. what we are

looking at is the temperature will be milder in the south but chilly in the north. we are looking at sunshine and showers. today there still is some snow in the forecast. you can see the milder air and we had in the south yesterday has moved further north but still cold in the north itself, which is why the precipitation is falling as snow across scotland. most of it is in the hills in the north, but some of it is at lower levels and what you find is through the day the snow level will rise into the hills even more, but later it will come down again. for the rest of the uk, a band of rain. it is swirling around an area of low pressure, fairly hit and miss and some of it could be heavy, and possibly thundery. there will be some sunshine. 15 degrees, 14 degrees, not that this time of year. if you are in aberdeen, it

will feel cold. and because much colder across scotland. we will continue with this snow, it will pep up continue with this snow, it will pep up across continue with this snow, it will pep up across parts of scotland. some of this will fall at low levels and still, the showers rotating around this area of low pressure. some of them merging to give spells of rain. in southern areas, it will be not a particularly cold night, it will not be as mild as the nightjust gone. still going to be cold across scotla nd still going to be cold across scotland again with the risk of ice. tomorrow we start off with the low pressure drifting across us. we have this rotation of showers, some of them pretty heavy. there is likely to be some beefy showers around tomorrow. still some hill snow across scotland, only three in aberdeen. from wednesday into thursday, our low pressure eventually d rifts thursday, our low pressure eventually drifts off towards scandinavia, allowing this ridge of high pressure to build across our

shores. that means first thing on thursday it will be cold, frosty, there is also the risk of some ice around as well. but a lot of dry weather. thursday is looking like a filter of a day. i lot of sunshine but it will start to cloud over from the west ahead of the next system coming our way, some of the sunshine or become hazy. temperatures in aberdeen, seven. you will not know yourself by them. it is beyond that we start to see the temperatures rise. if you look at the uk, you can see the yellow starting to push further across our shores through friday and into saturday. depending on the placement of the front, somewhere on saturday itself, it could hit 17, possibly even 18 celsius. that will be pretty good for this stage in april. it is april. that would be amazing. 18

degrees. doesn't mean it will be dry. you should have just left it there. let's take a look at today's papers. welcome. the daily mail. this is a story we have been following. this isa story we have been following. this is a british firm that wants to make passports after brexit and they are appealing the decision were 200 jobs are at risk after it went to a dutch firm. the daily telegraph, the picture story is quite compelling. someone is going on a caravan holiday this weekend. they are on the edge of the pennines and you can see what the conditions were like, but the main story is the health secretary revealing he has bowel cancer. he has written in the daily telegraph, amongst other things, given he was health secretary, it

has made him think very seriously about early diagnosis and what treatments are available to people. we will talk more about that throughout the programme. a 1-stop shop so to speak, so the symptoms are assessed in one place rather than different departments. winnie mandela has died... ex—wife of the former south african president, nelson mandela, dying in johannesburg after a long illness. quite a lot about retail. it has beena quite a lot about retail. it has been a big weekend. there was a bit ofa been a big weekend. there was a bit of a washout and quite a bit of analysis at the moment about the jobs that are being lost in the retail sector. we have had so many different businesses struggling. they are talking about that in the guardian this morning, more than 21,000 jobs have been cut or put at risk in the first three months of this year and that is notjust due to retail store approaches but also

company reductions and to really was a big one. that is putting pressure on that, so i will talk about that later on. another story has caught my eye which is something i noticed a child do recently which was i thought a child swiping to turn a page over. the research says in schools they have had children come to school and they have given them a real book and have tried to swipe the pages rather than turn them over. i have seen a child do it.|j have seen it as well. i have seen a baby do it, try to do the swiping. i have done it as well. had he done it toa map? have done it as well. had he done it to a map? i picked up a map and i have gone like... brilliant! don't admit these things. it is easy to

look and think, they then learned, obviously you have to turn the page and that it is all right. they have learnt something. there will be laughing at us one day. i have a serious investigation under way where the owner revealed on twitter that he likes to buy the team burgers and chips from mcdonald when they wind. —— win. i think it happens, it is quite common. this seems to be the one they have chosen. there is now an investigation under way because they are treating this like a bonus scheme apparently, which is not allowed in the lead, so he has been told off and he is outraged. he can spend whatever he wants on his players. if he wants to buy them a burger and chips, he should be absolutely entitled to. who remembers dallas? the tv series. does everyone? i am familiar with

it. something that happened a long time ago. it is to be regular viewing in my house. if you remember dallas, you will love this picture. some of the cast have got back together at the ranch where it was filmed all those years ago, linda gray, suellen is now 77 years old, patrick duffy, aged 69, lucy, who was the youngest one in the show, remember lucy? i am familiar with it. this is lucy here who played the character, 16 in the show and she is now 59. it is just one of those, if you remember them, it is a bit of nostalgia. that is like the cast of roseanne. it is exactly the same

caste. so successful as well. that is not a comeback shot. it isjust literally a little get—together. a trip down memory lane. i didn't know you were a dallas firm. it is just pa rt you were a dallas firm. it is just part of the make up if you are a certain age. see you later on. america's most recent mass shooting at a florida school has prompted debates about how to prevent further tragedies. last week, hundreds of thousands of people joined marches calling for tighter gun control. president trump favours a different approach, arming school staff, including teachers. bbc radio 5 live's anna foster has been to visit one school which is already doing just that. it almost looks like a classic scene from the old west. but without a local sheriff to keep the peace, this school is taking the law into its own hands. the nearest police station is 18 miles away, so here they have signed up to what is called the guardian programme, where some specially trained teachers carry concealed weapons

in the classroom. our goal is for this programme to never be used. we want to throw our money away on this programme, and hope this programme never is used. but, should the case arise, these are individuals that can look themselves in the mirror and know that they're doing what's right. around 170 school districts in texas have adopted this idea, with backing from president trump, who has floated a plan to arm more teachers. it's concealed. so this crazy man who walked in wouldn't even know who it is that's armed. that's good. that's not bad, that's good. and the teacher would have shot the hell out of him before he knew what happened. there are 38 people working at this school — everything from teachers to dinner staff to the caretaker. what's really important in all of this is that nobody knows how many of them are carrying a weapon, and crucially, nobody knows the identity of the people who are armed.

0n condition of anonymity, we put some questions to one of the guardians, whose replies here are spoken by an actor. if the need arose, i feel confident that i would use whatever means necessary to protect our students and staff. just over a week ago, hundreds of thousands of people rallied in washington, dc, calling for tighter gun control laws. among them were many parents and teachers. but the superintendent here insists he has the full support of the local community. they're caring individuals that care about our students and want to make sure we have an extra layer of protection for each and every one of our students. without the guardian programme, we're sitting ducks, you know. if there's a crazy person out there, then we have to have a way to defend ourselves. guns are just part of our everyday lives. you know, my husband is a rancher. in his ranch truck, there's a gun. it's not scary, there's nothing scary about guns to us. it'sjust part of, you know,

normal existence in a rural area. america is at a crossroads. even in this gun—loving state, support for the programme isn't universal. the texas teaching union says arming teachers is fraught with peril. right now, though, it seems the number of guns in american schools is rising rather than falling, and the days of the wild west never really went away. it is fascinating to see how the school system is dealing with the gun issue. we'll be chatting to anna about that in an hour's time. we will talk to her then. you may be wondering where mike is. he is at the commonwealth games, he will be bringing us coverage over the next couple of weeks. he has been talking toa couple of weeks. he has been talking to a cyclist from jersey hoping to represent the uk. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news.

i'm tolu adeoye. as we've been hearing, a 17—year—old girl has been shot dead in tottenham. officers were called to chalgrove road yesterday evening. the teenager died at the scene. the shooting comes amid concerns over rising violent crime in the capital. on sunday, a 20—year—old man became the 31st victim of knife crime in london so far this year. a couple who were at stansted when a fire broke out on a bus have called for more training for airport staff. the blaze on friday was caused by an electrical fault and lead to flight cancellations. bosses apologised to travellers for the disruption. passengers described the scene as chaotic. it was like sardines in a tin, so many people. still, people trying to get in, queueing outside and yet it took me 20 minutes to get out and i couldn't, james was picking the outcome and i couldn't phone him because the phones were down because

eve ryo ne because the phones were down because everyone was trying to use the phone. new research into depression and other mental health disorders is to take place following work by a team from king's college london. they gathered responses from 150,000 members of the public about their mental health. it means that biomedical research can go ahead to establish whether depression is one illness or different related conditions. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, there are minor delays on the central line and the northern line is part suspended between east finchley and euston and between charing cross and hampstead because of over running engineering works. 0n the trains — southern services are at a standstill between sutton and epsom downs because of an investigation there this morning. if we take a look at the camera now, the a13 is slow westbound between dagenham and barking — usual delays there. 0n the m25, there is a lane closed in both directions betweenjunction 24, potters bar and junction 25, enfield for barrier repairs. let's have a check on the weather

now with kate kinsella. good morning. it may be a damp start this morning, but it is a mild one. temperatures didn't drop too far so we are starting today in double figures. we will start to see some showers, potentially some heavy ones. the rain will clear away east. we will be left with cloud and heavy showers, but later this afternoon, the cloud binning and braking. by the cloud binning and braking. by the end of the day we should see some sunny spells. 0vernight it sta rts some sunny spells. 0vernight it starts off clear. the temperature a little bit fresher than last night. through the early hours of tomorrow morning, cloud increasing and further heavy showers arriving. the minimum temperatures between six and eight celsius. a potentially dry start tomorrow, you might be some rain in the north and east but that will slowly start to clear. further showers, potentially quite heavy through tomorrow afternoon, rumbles

of thunder, maybe some hail. some dry potentially quite sunny weather, a bit cooler and tebbutt is getting warmer as we head into the weekend. —— temperatures. 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 latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: mike's been riding with a commonwealth games hopeful who's set to make history on the gold coast this week, as he competes in his third sport at his third games. the older cousin of tyrannosaurus rex lived on the isle of skye 170 million years ago. we hear from one of the scientists who uncovered their giant footprints. and move over super gran, we meet "iron gran" eddie brocklesby. she'll be putting us through our paces after nine. good morning,

here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a 17—year—old girl has been shot dead in north london. it's thought to be the 47th murder in the capital this year. police were called to chalgrove road in tottenham shortly after 9.30 last night to reports of a shooting. a 16—year—old boy is also critically ill in hospital after being shot in a separate incident in walthamstow on the same night. police do not know if they're connected at this stage. ten new assessment centres designed to speed up cancer diagnosis are being introduced in england. gps will be able refer patients who have vague symptoms including unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain and fatigue, to the so—called one stop shops, where they can undergo tests for different cancers. if the project is successful then more centres will be opened. the former health secretary, andrew lansley, has revealed he's being treated for bowel cancer. writing in the daily telegraph, lord lansley says his illness could have been caught sooner, if a screening programme he proposed hadn't been frustrated by budget cuts and a lack of staff.

a spokesman for the department of health said it was making significant investments in cancer treatment and thousands of lives were being saved with screening programmes. labour leaderjeremy corbyn has been criticised for attending an event organised by a left wing group critical of mainstream jewish organisations. it comes hours after mr corbyn promised "water—tight" investigations into claims of anti—semitism within his party. photographs on the guido fawkes website appear to show mr corbyn meeting members of the group, called "jewdas", to mark part of the passover festival. a labour spokesman said he was there in a personal capacity. local councils in england will have a legal duty to offer more help to anyone at risk of homelessness, as part of a new law coming into force today. previously, authorities only had to provide housing if people were judged to have a priority need. 0ur correspondent lisa hampele reports. the plight of england's estimated 4,750 rough sleepers, more than double than five years

ago, was starkly highlighted by the winter snowstorms, but it's notjust rough sleepers on the increase. the charity, crisis, says there are now around 160,000 homeless households, including those in temporary accommodation. today the homelessness reduction act, aimed at cutting the numbers, comes into force. it places legal duties on english councils, so that everyone who is homeless or at risk of homelessness will have access to meaningful help. councils are now obliged to start assessing someone who is at risk of being made homeless 56 days in advance. it was 28 days. today represents a massive step forward. it won't deal with everything, it won't solve rough sleeping and the causes of homelessness overall — what it means is that those who are affected by it, that homelessness can be prevented and, crucially,

no longer will some people be entitled to help, all people will be entitled to help from their local council in england. similar measures came into force in wales three years ago. it reduced the numbers of people needing to be re—homed radically. scotland has been doing the same since 2003. the government is giving english councils £77 million to fund the measures. but critics say welfare cuts and a lack of affordable homes are the real problem. train services in france are likely to be severely disrupted today as railway workers begin what they say will be three months of rolling strikes. with just 12% of high—speed trains are expected to run, it's being seen as the biggest challenge yet to labour reforms proposed by president emmanuel macron. unions strongly oppose mr macron's plans to open up the state—owned train company. the singer sophie ellis—bextor has asked fans to keep an eye out for her tuktuk, after it was stolen from outside her house in west london. she said there couldn't be many of the motorised rickshaws about, so it should be

fairly conspicuous. the ‘murder on the dance floor‘ star took to twitter to say she would offer a ride in the little car as a reward if fans found it. why would you steal it? because these steal things. why would you steal it? because these stealthings. i why would you steal it? because these steal things. i never knew that! just happens. it is 6:35 a.m.. i feel sorry for her. have you steal a tuktuk? —— how do you? i feel sorry for her. have you steal a tuktuk? -- how do you? and they are very noisy. i have been in china ina tuktuk are very noisy. i have been in china in a tuktuk going the wrong way on a six lane carriageway at one of the scariest experiences i have ever had. is it fast? i generally don't know. why would you steal one? you

can't make a swift exit, if very large, it would be a nightmare. hopefully it gets back to its rightful owner. after everything i told you, victory is not looking likely, it was also promising, i said the light was going... it does get dark over there in new zealand. they have only had three wickets since around midnight last night, so now it looks like the game is coming to an end, and we won't get those three wickets. england's efforts to win the second test against new zealand in christchurch — and it increasingly looks as if their efforts might be in vain. at the start of the final day, england needed to take all ten new zealand wickets if they were to win and level the two—match series at 1—1. they've taken seven so far but it looks as if time might be running out. we can now cross to christchurch and speak to our cricket another day — another premier league

managerial casualty — this time it's alan pardew who has left west bromwich albion by mutual consent. it follows a run of eight successive league defeats for the club, which has left them seven points adrift at the bottom of the table and facing almost certain relegation. pardew was only hired at the end of november replacing tony pulis. commonwealth games bosses say they're confident a breach of the gold coast village's no—needle policy will be resolved before tomorrow's opening ceremony. a federation hearing involving an unnamed nation was under way earlier this morning following the discovery of needles and syringes at the athletes‘ village. an investigation cleared them of any doping violation with a ruling expected in the next few hours. there was an amazing finish in the irish grand national at fairyhouse with five horses almost crossing the line at the same time — after almost four miles of a gruelling race. it was the 20:1 shot

general principle who claimed the tight victory. isle of hope and dreams finished second with trainer willie mullins still waiting for his first win in the race. finally golf, and sweden's pernilla lindberg has won the first major of her career, the ana inspiration in california. this was the birdie putt that gave her victory in a play—off against south korea's inbee park, and it led to quite a celebration. she followed her caddie into the pond. it meant that when she emerged a few minutes later she was presented the trophy wearing a dressing gown. i know i am iknowiama i know i am a grinder. towards the end of yesterday ijust felt, this was mine, i can do this. i just know what to do, and ijust kept fighting away. and i couldn't believe when this last putt went in. the first thing i said when i scored the last putt

was that inbee would as well. but she didn't, and it was mine. what a result, her 250th attempt getting a title, it is just incredible to her. first women's major of the season and we are just a week away from the masters. major of the season and we are just a week away from the mastersm major of the season and we are just a week away from the masters. it is coming around so quickly. it is the weather as well, you expected to be a bit sunny a bit warm and relax... i will get my green jacket ready. crowds of mourners and political figures have flocked to the home of winnie mandela following her death yesterday. she and her former husband nelson mandela, who were both jailed, were a symbol of the country's anti—apartheid struggle for three decades. bill hayton has more. in morning they sang and danced,

filling the street outside winnie madikizela mandela's home. the old protest anthem is now counted in praise of an old opponent of apartheid. she was an inspiration, she is still an inspiration even after her passing, to all the women of south africa. and a former comrade in that struggle came to praise her role. she has been one of the strongest women in our struggle, who suffered immensely, under the apartheid regime. he was imprisoned, who was banished, who was treated very badly, separated not only from her husband, but from her children as well, and her people. this house in soweto was a symbol. she moved to the township in 1985, in defiance of a government banning order. she stay there long after the end of

apartheid while other leaders moved away. she stood up to her people, and faced threats and police brutality in return. don't push me! but it was in soweto that the struggle turned bad with her bodyguards involved in the murders of informants, and put —— grotesque killings known as necklacing. later she would admit that things went wrong but would refuse to say sorry. she remained uncommon rising voice, and that letter on the fringes of national politics. whenever she felt that someone has crossed her moral path,is that someone has crossed her moral path, is walking on the wrong side of the way things must be done, she was fearless, she called them to water. she would do that with anc leaders, she did that with the apartheid regime, and we have lost a true —— truly committed and fearless freedom fighter. freedom fighter, member of parliament, but also

murder suspect and conflict and fraudster. nonetheless, she will receive an official funeral. while the debates over her legacy continue. we can speak to south african journalistjean—jacques cornish, who's in pretoria. thank you for talking to us today, what is the legacy, do you think, that winnie madikizela mandela is going to leave behind the south africa? i believe history is going to be high and —— be kind to winnie madikizela mandela, she had a chequered past, the death of an acolyte who she believed was an informant the mandela united football clu b informant the mandela united football club and the violence that it caused, the convictions she received for kidnapping and fraud, those of course will never go away. but she was the woman who kept the image of nelson mandela are live while he was in prison, as a young woman, her husband was taken away, eve ryo ne woman, her husband was taken away, everyone believed for all time. at

that point. and she bravely hang on, she fought apartheid regime, that was absolutely abominable towards her, jailed are many times, put her into banishment and she fought that. she was in her own right and activist, and she could not fall into that kind of wifely role that i think the nation would have liked to have seen aryan once nelson mandela walked free. she remained a fighter, and that is what she will be remembered for. she became the head of the anc women's league she spoke out many times against the failure of the post apartheid south africa to allow the wealth of the country to allow the wealth of the country to trickle down properly. so whenever she saw injustice, she spoke out. and it was feared by the anc that she was becoming a lodestone for disaffected people on the left of the party. interestingly the left of the party. interestingly

the man who became the head of the economic freedom fighters, he had great support from her once he was actually expelled from the party. so she has this role as a burner under the saddle of the anc, but she will be remembered, quite justifiably, the saddle of the anc, but she will be remembered, quitejustifiably, as the mother of the nation. in contrast to an almost saintly image that nelson mandela had, she was much more human perhaps, and there was much more willingness to highlight, as you said, her militancy and her period of millicent —— or her period of militancy. some have highlighted that she was convicted of kidnapping, and the role she played when it came to dealing with political opponents was unsavoury, to say the least. yes indeed. when she spoke about necklacing, which is an absolutely horrific form of killing somebody putting it higher around the neck and filling it with

gasoline and lighting it, there is nothing worse. she said "with our necklaces we will liberate this country." the necklaces we will liberate this country. " the point necklaces we will liberate this country." the point you made is very germane, she was not the saintlike figure that nelson mandela was, who could forgive 27 years in prison, and the oppression that he felt. you can also argue that she felt it more keenly, she was at the sharp end, being arrested and separated from their children, banished to a tiny little rural town in the middle of the free state, that she did not know. treated a port that make appallingly by the apartheid regime, who unequivocally wanted to get rid of her. that she maintained an element of militancy once the country was liberated is hardly surprising. thank you very much for talking to us and giving us your insights as we look back on the life of winnie madikizela mandela. it is

whether time. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. if you are wondering if we have finished with winter, notjust yet because we have more snow to come today, primarily across scotland and the hills but we will see more tonight and tomorrow. the pennines are seeing some tomorrow as well. a yellow weather warning out for this. the next few days it will turn milder in the south, it will still be chilly with the snow around in the north and we are looking at sunshine and showers. this morning, the milder air of has filtered further north and you can see across the far north of northern england, northern ireland and scotland, it is still cold. have some snow falling across parts of northern scotland, some of that at lower levels as well, but increasingly through the day it will rise into the hills before coming back down again to lower levels later in the day. we have low pressure dominating our

weather. we have bands of rain merging around at low pressure. some of them this afternoon will be heavy, and we will see sunshine in between and looking of high of up to 15 celsius across england and wales, 11 in northern ireland but still only three, four or five across scotland. through the evening and overnight, we see the snow rejuvenate thomas am getting down to lower levels as well. we will also see snow in the tops of the pennines. the showers persist, some of them heavy. 0nce pennines. the showers persist, some of them heavy. once again, looking at temperatures in the south, not to bad, to eight, lower than we had this morning, but cold enough for some ice. tomorrow, it is going to bea some ice. tomorrow, it is going to be a fairly windy day wherever you are, gusty winds in the south as well. we still have our low pressure driving our weather is still a lot of showers. they may be heavier

tomorrow and a high risk of seeing thunder and lightning. across scotland, we still have this snow and we will see some of that on the pennines as well. cold in the north, milder as we push further south. as we move into thursday, with a good lie to that area of low pressure that has been driving our weather for the last few days and we ate have a transient ridge of high pressure coming in. that means first thing on thursday it will be a cold start, frost, ice as well. it is also going to be a dry start with the winds easing. many of us it will bea the winds easing. many of us it will be a beautiful day of a fair bit of sunshine, but there is another area of low pressure waiting in the winds, and it will throw its cloud ahead of it. across western parts of the uk, the sunshine will turn hazy. you will find by the weekend, for some parts, highs of 17, possibly 18. something positive on the horizon. is this that turned you

think? we cool it? i think so. i am fed up with the snow. that is how most people feel in the nation. thank you. she speaks her mind, we all know that. the wet weather has meant a washout for the high street over easter. steph is taking a look at this. good morning. after christmas, easter is a big dealfor retailers. according to the latest figures from springboard which monitors our visits to the shops, the high street stores struggled because of the rain. although that didn't stop these shoppers in stockport. we are here to shop for some clothes for going on holiday next week and we have also come to visit the brand—new cinema that opened before christmas. i didn't find anything online that i liked the wayjust came down to see if i can find anything. got audit home and couldn't think of anything else to do. diane wehrle is from springboard. interesting here, the people who

we re interesting here, the people who were out, that is one of the days it wasn't raining. some people were bored and wanted to get out, but it isa bored and wanted to get out, but it is a tough time for retailers. bored and wanted to get out, but it is a tough time for retailersm bored and wanted to get out, but it is a tough time for retailers. it is a tough time generally. sales are not as grey as predict it so they haven't been challenged in terms of gust. wet weather is the bane of retailers lives, particularly when it is torrential rain. we try activity and destinations and able to correlate very clearly when it is really heavy rain and foot all dropped like a stone. and it was dry, the footfall rows. do we then spend more when it gets better because we didn't spend anything at easter? not generally, not unless there is a complete turnaround in there is a complete turnaround in the economy and everyone is confident and feeling better about things. it is a lost opportunity for retailers. we have talked for a long time about how much the high street struggled, there are winners in retail. it is not all bad news. it

is quite interesting because that lady said she is going to the cinema and that has helped the high street, the leisure element, the hospitality element. it has been quite resilient and that is where shopping centres have struggled it was they offer predominately retail. now they are starting to catch up. when it rains, people go to shopping centres. there is turnaround. inevitably, some retailers will offered and some will not. earlier ron, we talked about thejob not. earlier ron, we talked about the job losses we have seen in retail, because we have seen big ones that have struggled, toys "r" us, restaurants and things. what is going on? is it a case we are not feeling confident about shopping and spending? that is essentially in. while employment is good and unemployment is still very low, people are not feeling confident necessarily about where things are going to go and where their future

might lie, so they might want to stash, they are not ready to buy as much as they want. a lot of the retailers expanded in 2015 when everything was much more confident and took a lot of debt on another heavy huge overhead. what you need to do well in retail at the moment? it all comes down to the basics of retail, as it always has been. customer service, retail, as it always has been. customerservice, environment, conduct. it is ever more cup challenging because we have global access to product so we are quite discerning as consumers. retailers have to push out and create the environment that shoppers want to go to. that is it for me for now. from tomorrow, some of our best sports men and women will compete at the commonwealth games on australia's gold coast. but unlike the olympics, the home nations all compete separately — as well as the isle of man, guernsey and jersey. mike went to meet one athlete representing jersey — at his third games.

apologies, move over, jersey cows remove “— apologies, move over, jersey cows remove —— renowned from their milk. this channel islands now has another exporter is to make the world sit up and take notice. whatever happens in the coming weeks, he will set another new commonwealth games record in australia as the first athlete ever to have been at three different commonwealth games, competing in three separate sports. he started as a swimmer at the melbourne games in 2006. he was then in glasgow in the triathlon in 2014. now in the gold coast, he will once again representjersey, at this time in the road cycling time trials.|j never quite got the olympics. the commonwealth games has been the i can achieve. representing the islands. so for me getting into it

islands. so for me getting into it is quite special and to be able to do it three times is quite cool, and to do it in three different sports is even better. being able to go and do what i enjoy doing, representing the islands is awesome. i think i probably feel the pressure more when iam there, probably feel the pressure more when i am there, at the moment, i am quite relaxed about it and looking forward to it. he is no stranger to multisport disciplines having been a uk champion at the even more extreme ironman distance. spending hours in the saddle is not a problem, especially with a view to inspire around every corner here. ijoined him ona around every corner here. ijoined him on a ride through the countryside and along the coast to see how well his swimming legs have been retrained to focus purely on pedalling. we needed mental strength as well with the wind threatening to blow us out to sea. because i grew up blow us out to sea. because i grew up as blow us out to sea. because i grew upasa blow us out to sea. because i grew up as a swimmer, i will always be a

swimmer. deep down, swimming is probably my favourite. i have done the last years, swimming is very much up and down. then i go away on cycling trips, you get to see a lot more. to make the switch from swimmer to cycle is have required a lot of gym work in his garage when he doesn't have the budget of the bigger teams. we are a small fish in a big pond, for i am an island boy, my mum is from here, i always represent the islands and it is proud for me to do. i am out of my depth but i willjust go as hard as ican and depth but i willjust go as hard as i can and not embarrass myself. he is one of 33 athletes going from jersey to the commonwealth games and on the gold coast, he will certainly feel at home. as this tiny island and their biggest star prepared to ta ke and their biggest star prepared to take the place in the commonwealth games history. that is injersey. the weather looks

absolutely beautiful. i assure that was a few weeks ago but he is in the right place for the weather.m makes the want to get out on my bike. tomorrow, mike will be at the gold coast bringing us the build—up to the games. the opening ceremony starts at 10:30am uk time. don't forget you can keep up to date with all the action on bbc tv, via the red button and on radio 5 live. we understand he will have a light position on the beach on the gold coast in australia to bring us the commonwealth games. we will see what happens tomorrow. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm tolu adeoye. as we've been hearing, a 17—year—old girl has been shot dead in tottenham. officers were called to chalgrove road yesterday evening. the teenager died at the scene. the shooting comes amid concerns over rising violent crime in the capital. on sunday, a 20—year—old man became the 31st victim of knife crime in london so far this year.

a couple who were at stansted when a fire broke out on a bus have called for more training for airport staff. the blaze on friday was caused by an electrical fault, it led to the cancellation of all flights. bosses apologised to travellers for the disruption. passengers described the scene as chaotic. it was like sardines in a tin, so many people in the terminal. it was — and still, people trying to get in, queueing outside, and, yeah, it took me 20 minutes to get out and i couldn't —james was picking me up and i couldn't phone him because all the phones, i think, were down because everyone tried to use the phone. new research into depression and other mental health disorders is to take place following work by a team from king's college london. they gathered responses from 150,000 members of the public about their mental health. it means that biomedical research can go ahead to establish whether depression is one illness or different related conditions. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, there are minor delays

on the central line, and the northern line is part suspended between east finchley and euston and between charing cross and hampstead because of over—running engineering works. 0n the trains, there is no service on southern between sutton and epsom downs because of electrical supply problems. if we take a look at the camera now, the a13 is slow westbound between dagenham and barking, usual delays there. 0n the m25, there is a lane closed in both directions betweenjunction 24, potters bar and junction 25, enfield for barrier repairs. a enfield for barrier repairs. lane close northbound b manhole a lane close northbound because the manhole has collapsed. let's have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it may be a rather damp start again this morning, but it's a mild one. the temperatures overnight didn't drop too far, so many of us starting the day in double figures. we will, however, start to see some showers, potentially some quite heavy ones. so the rain will clear away east.

we're still going to be left with quite a bit of cloud and these heavy showers blowing through, but later on this afternoon, the cloud thinning and breaking. hopefully by the end of the day we should see some sunny spells. temperatures getting up to a mild 14. 0vernight, it starts off clear. the temperature, therefore, a little bit fresher than it was last night. but through the early hours of tomorrow morning, we'll see the cloud increasing and further potentially quite heavy showers arriving. the minimum temperature between 6 and 8 celsius. a potentially dry start tomorrow. yes, there might be a bit of rain out towards the north and the east, but that will slowly start to clear. but then further showers, potentially some quite heavy ones through tomorrow afternoon, rumbles of thunder, maybe some hail. then a ridge of high pressure builds in for thursday and friday, so some dry, potentially quite sunny weather, a bit cooler but then temperatures getting a little bit warmer as we head into the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. plenty more on our webiste and bbc radio london. now, though, it's back to charlie and naga. hello this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. a 17 year—old—girl is shot dead in a street in north london. the capital's 47th

murder this year comes amid growing concern over the levels of violent crime. good morning it's tuesday 3 april. also this morning: a roll—out of new "one—stop shop" cancer diganosis centres, offering fewer tests and faster diagnosis. a promise of tough rules to tackle elephant poaching — sales of all ivory, including most antiques, will be banned. the new tax year starts in a couple on days — so i'm looking at what your options are for making the most of tax free savings accounts and whether they're worth it. in sport: england's cricketers are running out of time. the second test in new zealand heads

towards a draw. these were the snowy scenes in the peak district yesterday — is winter nearly over? carol has the forecast. there is more snow in the forecast from ireland across scotland and mostly across the hills. the northern ireland and northern england, you have some rain, but for the rest of england and wales there is some showers, which will be heavy. i will have more details 15 minutes. a 17—year—old girl has been shot dead in north london, in what is thought to be the 47th murder in the capital this year. in a separate incident in walthamstow, a 16—year—old boy was left critically ill after being shot. 0ur reporterjon donnison is in tottenham now. there has been a great deal of focus on the level of gun crime, particularly in london, just tell us a little more about this most recent

incident? last night, two shootings in the space of an hour, just about two miles apart. police are not saying if they were links at this stage. here in tottenham the coroner has just taken away the body of a 17—year—old girl, who was shot shortly to 9:30pm last night, and then just shortly to 9:30pm last night, and thenjust a shortly to 9:30pm last night, and then just a few miles south—east of here in walthamstow, a 16—year—old boy also shot. he is in a critical condition in hospital. in that incident a 17—year—old boy was also stabbed, he is also in hospital. the incidents you are describing their have just draw more attention to the numbers of instances over a short period of time. a lot of people will have seen those figures at this week that london has a higher murder rate this year then new york. we understand this is the 47th murder

in the capital this year. let's look at some of those 2018 figures. eight murders in january in at some of those 2018 figures. eight murders injanuary in february those numbers went up to 15, and in march alone, 22 murders. this is the 47th murder and we're only in early april. ten new assessment centres designed to speed up cancer diagnosis are being introduced in england. gps will be able refer patients who have vague symptoms including unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain and fatigue, to the so—called one stop shops, where they can undergo tests for different cancers. if the project is successful then more centres will be opened. labour leaderjeremy corbyn has been criticised for attending an event organised by a left wing group critical of mainstream jewish organisations. it comes hours after mr corbyn promised "watertight" investigations into claims of anti—semitism within his party. the bbc‘s assistant political editor norman smith is in our westminster for us this morning.

good morning, just how damaging is this, this visit thatjeremy corbyn made yesterday on the face of it should not be damaging because mr corbyn attended a jewish seder festival, as the guest of a jewish organisation. so far uncontroversial. the difficulty arises over the organisation that invited him, which is called jewdas, which is a left—leaning, anticapitalist, pro— palestinian organisation. you could say so what, that shares many of mr corbyn's views. the problem is that this organisation has been highly critical of many of the charges of anti—semitism against the labour party, and they have suggested that it is all a cynical ploy, and that has prompted some criticism from mainstream jewish organisations which says mr corbyn's decision to

attend is evidence that he does not ta ke attend is evidence that he does not take the problem of anti—semitism in the party seriously enough. local councils in england will have a legal duty to offer more help to anyone at risk of homelessness, as part of a new law coming into force today. previously, authorities only had to provide housing if people were judged to have a priority need. the government is giving councils money to fund the new measures but charities say the lack of affordable homes is a bigger problem. the leading cause of homelessness in this country is people not being able to afford their rent in the private rental sector. if we can sort out the benefit levels so it can reflect what it costs to rent properties, and get more affordable property is on to the market, then we can tackle and end homelessness in this country. we'll be speaking to the mp behind the new law and a woman who has experienced homelessness at 8:10 this morning. the ban on selling ivory in the uk is to be extended to include almost all antique items, after more than 61,000 people supported a public consultation calling for tougher measures. ministers say the new law means

those breaching the proposed ban will face an unlimited fine or up to five years in jail. alison freeman reports. young elephants playing in botswana. but behind this heartwarming scene is a much more sad trouble. the elephants are orphans. their parents are among the thousands killed in africa each year for the tasks. year for their tusks. african nations have been calling on the rest of the world to halt the trade in antique ivory, to help curb poaching. and today the environment secretary michael gove announced the uk plans to do just that. after a public consultation on a sales ban received an overwhelming response in of it. conservation groups say they hope the move will put a stop to the shocking decline in the world's elephant population. around 20,000 are slaughtered every year to feed global demand for ivory. that has seen the number of elephants drop by almost a third over the past decade.

it has been possible to sell items made with ivory before 1947 in britain without a certificate, but the new ban would all but stop that. china, the us and france have tightened their approach to ivory sales, but campaigners hope the uk's stance will help other eu countries to follow suit. south african president cyril ramaphosa and nobel laureate desmond tutu have led tributes to the anti—apartheid campaigner winnie mandela, who died yesterday at the age of 81. to her supporters she was referred to as the "mother of the nation" but in later years her reputation became tainted legally and politically. let's speak to our southern africa correspondent pumza fihlani, who is in johannesberg. she could be remembered in two ways, could and she? see certainly could,

but for the majority of south africans, winnie madikizela mandela's legacy is very clear, and thatis mandela's legacy is very clear, and that is of having been the face of the fight against the oppression of black people here, especially at a time when there was no indication that people like elton mandela would ever return home, that he would even become the first black leader of south africa. she was somebody who was revered for her fearlessness, fea rlessness that was revered for her fearlessness, fearlessness that she continued to use even to the last, even going so far as criticising her own party, the ruling african national congress, which she felt in later yea rs congress, which she felt in later years had strayed from the values of what the party was about. shows he is celebrated in this hour of mourning here in south africa for that role that she liberate —— played in liberating black people here, but for also being someone who was a reluctant icon but step into that role and did it in a way that nobody else could have done. and in contrast perhaps nelson mandela,

seen as almost saintly, but her later actions politically drew some criticism? they certainly did, what you are referring to their is a murder trial that she faced here in south africa, around the disappearance of a young activist, she was found guilty of the lesser charge related to that case of kidnapping, and was sentenced to prison fine. she remained active in politics here in south africa, even going so far as building bridges with opposition parties, especially young people here, trying to renew their interest in politics and their involvement in politics, and that for some people has gone a long way in redeeming her image. thank you very much, remembering winnie madikizela mandela, who has died at the age of 81. a british satellite designed to clean up rubbish in the earth's orbit has been launched into space.

the removedebris project was on board a spacex falcon 9 rocket which successfully took off from florida last night. the satellite, which features a large net to collectjunk, will be delivered to the international space station before astronauts begin using it next month. it isa it is a mixture of very technical science, and then a big net, which rather appeals to me. even in space, and net is useful. it captures all thejunk on and net is useful. it captures all the junk on the net and then as it comes down to earth at this integrates. it's widely known that early diagnosis of cancer can make a huge difference to survival rates. but it can take time to diagnose patients who don't show alarm signs for specific types of the disease. now nhs england is introducing ten assessment centres where patients can undergo multiple tests for different cancers — and get the results quickly. we can speak to professor stephen powis, nhs england's medical director, from our london newsroom.

good morning to you, thank you for your time. just take us through these ten centres, what is different about them ? these ten centres, what is different about them? good morning, many patients who develop cancer present with specific symptoms, that suggest where in the body the cancer is likely to be, and what specific investigations should be done to diagnose that cancer, so were woman who develops a breast lump may have breast cancer, and a woman —— agp would know to refer them on to a breast cancer clinic. at other patients develop much more vague symptoms such as tiredness, weight loss, abdominal pain that is difficult to down. with those patients diagnosis can be more difficult, and can take longer. and thatis difficult, and can take longer. and that is not a good thing. so these new clinics are specifically aimed at targeting that group of patients, with the aim of making diagnosis more quick than it is at the moment.

what evidence is there, all of that makes perfect sense, but what evidence is there that it works was mac the obvious question is if you know it works, why only ten centres? studies were done in denmark which had a similar problem of late diagnosis in patients with vague symptoms, and that early work showed that they did pick up cancers in this sort of programme, and more importantly they picked up cancers atan importantly they picked up cancers at an early stage, so they could be treated early. so we want to see whether the same thing happens in the uk and we have the work you with some of our cancer vanguard programme centres, which have been specifically asked to innovate in relation to cancer, and a number of hospitals associated with the programme have helped put up. we are seeing results similar to denmark

but it will take more patients in these ten centres to really evaluate whether we see any difference, and we expect that to be done by the end of this year. moving forward, if you see the results you are hoping for and the system works, ten right now, how would you imagine this to move forward ? how would you imagine this to move forward? of course if the evaluation at the end of the year shows that we are picking up cancers, at an early stage, then we would of course consider rolling this out to other centres, who are able to provide the range of tests that are required for this sort of 1—stop clinic. range of tests that are required for this sort of 1-stop clinic. is it cost—effective, everything around healthcare, we think about cost. how does that work? absolutely, one of the part of the evaluation will be to determine whether it is cost—effective, and that is why we started in ten centres rather than rolling it out immediately. you will be aware of an item written in the daily telegraph by the former health

secretary andrew lansley, who has told people that he has bowel cancer, and a very interesting article by him, because of his condition, he is now suffering rumour about some of the decisions he took during his time as health secretary. 0ne he took during his time as health secretary. one of the issues he talks about specifically is something called the bowel scope, and anyone who has been through these conditions will know that is, and here say more people should have access to that particular treatment, if they did, more people would be diagnosed early. what is the situation in relation to that particular piece of equipment, and how widely available it is? of course the first thing i should say is that our thoughts are with mr la nsley is that our thoughts are with mr lansley at this time, it is always difficult. secondly we do have a world —class difficult. secondly we do have a world—class bowel screening service in england, and in the uk, and bowel scope which is specifically inviting people to have a telescopic

examination of their bowel at age 55, is something we are continuing to roll out. but it is also important to say that we are introducing even better test, additional tests, that we do outside additional tests, that we do outside a programme, to get people to test their stool for blood and we are introducing new tests which are even better than the existing one, and we would encourage people to participate in that so we can pick up participate in that so we can pick up cancer at participate in that so we can pick up canceratan participate in that so we can pick up cancer at an early stage. your phrase there which is what andrew la nsley highlighted, ucb phrase there which is what andrew lansley highlighted, ucb will continue to roll it out, what does that mean in terms of the percentage of england, which under you look after, but where people would have that available to them? over 50% is available at the moment... why is it not better? rollout is quite complicated, it relies on having appropriate capacity in place, making sure that when people are

referred for scoping we can do that ina timely referred for scoping we can do that in a timely manner. it also interconnects with all the other things we do around bowel scoping for instance, the introduction of this new test for blood in the stool. thank you forjoining us. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: a 17—year—old girl has been shot dead on a street in tottenham, in north london. it is thought to be the 47th murder in the capital this year. new one—stop shops to speed up cancer diagnosis are being introduced in ten centres in england, in an effort to catch the disease earlier. 0ne one of the stories we have been taking a look at this morning he is

de la rue. yes, so de la rue is a british company which has been making passports since 2009 and a print a lot of currencies as well. a couple of years ago i did alive broadcast from there and it is one of the most secure places i have ever been in my life. they obviously produced a lot of high security staff. they have been producing british passports since 2009 and i think they thought they would be printing the new passports when we leave the eu. we will be getting blue passports, but that contract actually went to, as you say, a dutch company. it is important to point out they do have facilities in the uk as well, so they have two printing facilities, one where they make the driving licences that we have at the moment, but there has been a lot of debate about the fact it is not a british company which is making them any more, which obviously given the fact that we are leaving the eu is why it is so

controversial. so now de la rue have started the first run on the appeal now. they want to appeal this. the government argue that they went for the company which had the best security, best price, and also quality, and they argue that is why they gave this contract to gemalto. at the time, if i remember rightly, the government line when the story unfolded, and there was a lot of anger about it, the government line was that it was not a final decision. that there was the possibility that it may not have entirely been decided. so is that any clearer? yes, they have actually extended, now, the time for appeals to be made on this. like you say, it is not a completely done deal, and thatis is not a completely done deal, and that is why de la rue are appealing, in part. they have been asking the government for a lot of information about how they made the decision, because they think it was simply based on price because they undercut de la rue, whereas the immigration minister has told mps that they gave it to gemalto because they provided

the best value in terms of security, quality and price. that is what the argument is about. and you know the argument is about. and you know the argument that de la rue already makes our passports, so if they are not secure at enough or technology savvy enough... there will definitely be more argy—bargy before we get any confirmation of this. you know, we might need a passport because it has been so miserable weatherwise. i am quite tempted. carroll, persuade me to stay please. it is turning matter as we go through the week, especially in the south. but generally we will see that happening. as except in the north early on, where we will hang on the chilly conditions. still some snow around as well but foremost we are looking at sunshine and showers. this morning it is mild, mild in the south and the milder air has filtered to all but the of england, northern ireland and scotland where we are off to a chilly start. now, we are off to a chilly start. now, we have snow across the highlands

and also the grampians, some of that getting down to lower levels. it will retreat into the hills and then it will come down later on in some heavy adverse. the rest of the uk, our weather has been driven by low pressure. so all of these showers and rain are rotating around an area of low pressure. some of it heavy, and some of it this afternoon will also be thundery. but there will be some sunshine, and in the sunshine, with highs of 14 or 15, for the time of year it will be quite pleasant. in the snow, with four or five, it will feel cold. into the overnight period, the snow comes back into scotland. we see those rotating around this area of low pressure, and the wind will pick up across devon and cornwall. not quite as mild night as the one just gone but not physically cold in the south. cold in the north, and here there is the risk of ice on damp surfaces. tomorrow the snow will still be with

us. we could see a further ten centimetres on the top of the hills, for example. rain across the southern up lines to start with but increasingly that will turn to snow and we will see snow on the tops of the pennines. away from that, it is rain you are likely to have in england, wales and northern ireland, among sunshine and showers. some of the showers could be heavy and some could have some thunder and lightning embedded in them. temperatures 11 to 13 in england, wales and northern ireland, but coming down across scotland, we are looking at three to six. wednesday into thursday, the low pressure which has been driving our weather pushes off towards scandinavia, allowing this transient ridge of high pressure to come our way. but there is another ridge of low pressure waiting in the winds. so first thing on thursday will be a cold start. there will be some frost around, the risk of ice, but a lot of sunshine to start the day. thursday is looking like a pretty nice day for most of us. temperatures in the north starting to rise and you can see the next

area of low pressure going our way, so the sunshine turning hazy. america's most recent mass shooting at a florida school has prompted debates about how to prevent further tragedies. last week, hundreds of thousands of people joined marches calling for tighter gun control. president trump favours a different approach — arming school staff, including teachers. bbc radio 5 live's anna foster has been to visit one school which is already doing just that. it almost looks like a classic scene from the old west. but, without a local sheriff to keep the peace, this school is taking the law into its own hands. the nearest police station is 18 miles away, so here they have signed up to what is called the guardian programme, where some specially trained teachers carry concealed weapons in the classroom. our goal is for this programme to never be used. we want to throw our money away on this programme, and hope this programme never is used. but, should the case arise, these are individuals that can look themselves in the mirror and know

that they're doing what's right. around 170 school districts in texas have adopted this idea, with backing from president trump, who has floated a plan to arm more teachers. it's concealed. so this crazy man who walked in wouldn't even know who it is that has it, that's good. that's not bad, that's good. and the teacher would have shot the hell out of him before he knew what happened. there are 38 people working at this school — everything from teachers to dinner staff to the caretaker. what is really important in all of this is that nobody knows how many of them are carrying a weapon, and crucially, nobody knows the identity of the people who are armed. 0n condition of anonymity, we put some questions to one of the guardians, whose replies here are spoken by an actor. if the need arose, i feel confident that i would use whatever means necessary to protect our students and staff.

just over a week ago, hundreds of thousands of people rallied in washington, dc, calling for tighter gun control laws. among them were many parents and teachers. but the superintendent here insists he has the full support of the local community. they're caring individuals, that care about our students and want to make sure we have an extra layer of protection for each and every one of our students. without the guardian programme, we're sitting ducks, you know. if there's a crazy person out there, then we have to have a way to defend ourselves. guns are just part of our everyday lives. you know, my husband is a rancher. you get in his ranch truck, there's a gun. it's not scary, there's nothing scary about guns to us. to us it'sjust part of, you know, normal existence in a rural area. america is at a crossroads. even in this gun—loving state, support for the programme isn't universal. the texan teaching union says arming

teachers is fraught with peril. right now, though, it seems the number of guns in american schools is rising rather than falling, and the days of the wild west never really went away. anna fosterjoins us now. i think that must have been so fascinating, contrast in their views to what we are used to in the uk is stark, isn't it? it really is, it is com pletely stark, isn't it? it really is, it is completely different. and i was in that march in washington and went straight from there to houston, and the difference in attitudes is huge. so many teachers at the last thing we wa nt so many teachers at the last thing we want is to be armed. we don't wa nt we want is to be armed. we don't want the peaceful, safe environment of the classroom to have guns in it. and you go from there to houston, you walk through that school, the superintendent you saw that, i asked him if he was one of the guardians, he said he wasn't at liberty to disclose that. why wouldn't he tell

you? they say that is one of the important parts of the security element. they say if the students knew and the parents knew then it wouldn't be as safe. but you walk through that school, and i was in the elementary parts, so the really small as children, and you look in the classroom door and they are singing rhymes about sums and abc, and you look at the teacher at the front and think that under her dress she might have a handgun strapped under there that she might use if the need arose, it is astonishing for us to try and get our heads around, really. and what precautions are they in relation to getting in and out of school? by way of stopping anyone... it was sometimes it is the pupils, children themselves, especially in areas where there are a lot of guns available, who bring the guns into schools. this is the thing, and there are so many guns available. i spoke to that parent whose son is 15, and he has had a gun since the age of eight. they are very relaxed about it, they talk about throwing

it in the truck when they go to the shops. interestingly, it wasn't any more secure than a school in this country would be. 0nce more secure than a school in this country would be. once you walk onto the campus they spot you because they have cctv cameras covering all of the ground in the corridors, but it is the same as anywhere else, really. you get buzzed in and you wouldn't know apart from that big menacing sign outside saying the teachers are armed, it wouldn't feel any different to a school in this country. and you can hear more on anna's story this morning from 10:00am on 5 live. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. as we have been hearing, a 17—year—old girl has been shot dead in tottenham. officers were called to chalgrove road yesterday evening. the teenager died at the scene. the shooting comes amid concerns over rising violent crime in the capital. on sunday, a 20—year—old man became the 31st victim of knife crime in london so far this year. a couple who were at stansted

when a fire broke out on a bus have called for more training for airport staff. the blaze on friday was caused by an electrical fault. it led to the cancellation of all flights. bosses apologised to travellers for the disruption. passengers described the scene as chaotic. it was like sardines in a tin, so many people in the terminal. it was — and still, people trying to get in, queueing outside. and, yeah, it took me 20 minutes to get out and i couldn't —james was picking me up and i couldn't phone him because all the phones, i think, were jammed because everyone tried to use the phone. new research into depression and other mental health disorders is to take place following work by a team from king's college london. they gathered responses from 150,000 members of the public about their mental health. it means that biomedical research can go ahead to establish whether depression is one illness or different related conditions. let's have a look at

the travel situation now. 0n the tube there are minor delays on the central line, and there are severe delays on the northern line. 0n the trains, there is no service on southern between sutton and epsom downs, because of electrical supply problems. 0n the roads, the blackwall tunnel is slow northbound from blackwall lane. 0n the m25, there is a lane closed in both directions betweenjunction 24 potters bar and junction 25 enfield, for barrier repairs. and on the a23 brixton hill, there is a lane closed northbound between new park road and dumbarton road because a manhole has collapsed. let's have a check on the weather now, with kate kinsella. good morning. it may be a rather damp start again this morning, but it's a mild one. the temperatures overnight didn't drop too far, so many of us starting the day in double figures. we will, however, start to see some showers, potentially some quite heavy ones. so the rain will clear away east. we're still going to be left with quite a bit of cloud,

and these heavy showers blowing through, but later on this afternoon, the cloud thinning and breaking. hopefully by the end of the day we should see some sunny spells. temperatures getting up to a mild 14. 0vernight, it starts off clear. the temperature, therefore, a little bit fresher than it was last night. but, through the early hours of tomorrow morning, we'll see the cloud increasing and further potentially quite heavy showers arriving. the minimum temperature between 6—8 celsius. a potentially dry start tomorrow. yes, there might be a bit of rain out towards the north and the east, but that will slowly start to clear. but then further showers, potentially some quite heavy ones through tomorrow afternoon, rumbles of thunder, maybe some hail. then a ridge of high pressure builds in for thursday and friday, so some dry, potentially quite sunny weather, a bit cooler but then temperatures getting a little bit warmer as we head into the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. plenty more on our webiste and bbc radio london. now, though, it is back to charlie and naga. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty.

here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. a 17—year—old girl has been shot dead in north london, in what's thought to be the 47th murder in the capital this year. police were called to a road in tottenham shortly after 9.30 last night to reports of a shooting. a 16—year—old boy is also critically ill in hospital after being shot in a separate incident in walthamstow on the same night. police do not know if they're connected at this stage. ten new "one stop shops" to speed up cancer diagnosis are being introduced in england, in an effort to catch the disease earlier. the aim is to prevent patients being referred for separate tests for different forms of the illness, when they have non—specific symptoms. patients who have cancer develop with much more vague symptoms such as tiredness, abdominal pain, in those cases diagnosis can be more difficult and can take longer, and

thatis difficult and can take longer, and that is not a good thing. so these new clinics are specifically aimed at targeting that group of patients, with the aim of making diagnosis a lot quicker than it is at the moment. the former health secretary, andrew lansley, has revealed he's being treated for bowel cancer. writing in the daily telegraph, lord lansley says his illness could have been caught sooner, if a screening programme he proposed hadn't been frustrated by budget cuts and a lack of staff. a spokesman for the department of health said it was making significant investments in cancer treatment and thousands of lives were being saved with screening programmes. labour leaderjeremy corbyn has been criticised for attending an event organised by a left wing jewish group critical of mainstream jewish organisations. it comes hours after mr corbyn promised "watertight" investigations into claims of anti—semitism within his party. photographs on the guido fawkes website appear to show mr corbyn meeting members of the group, called jewdas, to mark seder, part of the passover festival. a labour spokesman said he was there in a personal capacity. local councils in england

will have a legal duty to offer more help to anyone at risk of homelessness, as part of a new law coming into force today. previously, authorities only had to provide housing if people were judged to have a priority need. the government is giving councils money to fund the new measures but charities say the lack of affordable homes is a bigger problem. south african president cyril ramaphosa and nobel laureate desmond tutu have led tributes to the anti—apartheid campaigner winnie madikizela mandela, who died yesterday at the age of 81. to her supporters she was referred to as the "mother of the nation" but in later years her reputation became tainted legally and politically. crowds of mourners and political figures flocked to her home in soweto, in johannesburg, after news of her death broke. train services in france are likely to be severely disrupted today as railway workers begin what they say will be three months of rolling strikes. with just 12% of high—speed trains expected to run, it's being seen as the biggest challenge yet to labour reforms

proposed by president emmanuel macron. unions strongly oppose mr macron's plans to open up the state—owned train company. keep an eye out for a tuktuk if you are out and about on the street today. the singer sophie ellis—bextor has asked fans to keep an eye out for her tuktuk, after it was stolen from outside her house in west london. she said there couldn't be many of the motorised rickshaws about, so it should be fairly conspicuous. the ‘murder on the dance floor‘ star took to twitter to say she would offer a ride in the little car as a reward if fans found it. it is nearly 8:35 a.m.. we have not done too well in the cricket. —— 7:35 a.m.. it's been a long winter for england's cricketers — they've finished their tours of australia and new zealand

without winning a single test match, after being frustrated this morning in their attempts to win the second test in christchurch. it is very much over. it did look possible, but they are shaking the hands. not a single win, and one of the worst innings in history? to make it worse for new zealand, it is the first time that they have beaten english this century. it is also the first time they have beaten england at home since 1983—84, when actually none of these cricketers were even born. slightly depressing. it was their last chance there this morning. england started the day needing to take all ten wickets for victory — and they started brilliantly with stuart broad taking two wickets

with the first two balls of the day. and with plenty of overs left, england just needed three more wickets, but they were then held up by some determined new zealand batting. ish sodhi scoring a crucial unbeaten half—century as the home side held on and england forced to settle for the draw. another day, another premier league managerial casualty — this time it's alan pardew who has left west bromwich albion by mutual consent. it follows a run of eight successive league defeats for the club — which has left them seven points adrift at the bottom of the table and facing almost certain relegation. pardew was only hired at the end of november replacing tony pulis. with the commonwealth games opening ceremony due to get under way tomorrow in australia's gold coast — the question is, who will be carrying the flags for the home nations. well this morning team england have named alistair brownlee

as their representative. the triathlete comes to the games as defending champion in both the individual and mixed relay races. he'lljoin scotland's flag bearer eilidh doyle at the ceremony — while wales and northern ireland will name theirs later today. meanwhile, the games have already been hit with controversy before thursday's start of competition after needles were found in the athlete's village. a federation hearing involving an unnamed nation was under way earlier this morning following the discovery at the weekend. an investigation cleared them of any doping violation with a ruling expected in the next few hours. there was an amazing finish in the irish grand national at fairyhouse with five horses almost crossing the line at the same time — after almost four miles of a gruelling race it was the 20—1 of a gruelling race. it was the 20—1 shot general principle who claimed the tight victory. isle of hope and dreams finished second with trainer willie mullins still waiting for his first win in the race. finally golf, and sweden's pernilla

lindberg has won the first major of her career, the ana inspiration in california. this was the birdie putt that gave her victory in a play—off against south korea's inbee park, and it led to quite a celebration. she followed her caddie into the pond. it meant that when she emerged a few minutes later she was presented the trophy wearing a dressing gown. we were having a debate about whether she dived or dove, have you say it? this is the winning putt. whether she dived or dove, have you say it? this is the winning puttm official terms, the caddy straight

into the dive, i think shejumps in, the caddy dives. incredible dive as well, tens all round. and a good jump well, tens all round. and a good jump as well. we will see you later on. it's believed around 20,000 elephants a year are being slaughtered for their ivory. many campaigners have spent years fighting against the trade. now britain is to extend the law against ivory sales to create what ministers say is one of the strictest bans in the world. we're joined now by nicole itano from the world wide fund for nature, and auctioneerjames lewis. first, take a look at this. young elephants playing in botswana. but behind this heartwarming scene is a much more sad trouble. the elephants are orphans. their parents are among the thousands killed in africa each year for their tusks. african nations have been calling on the rest of the world to halt the trade in antique ivory, to help curb

poaching. and today the environment secretary michael gove announced the uk plans to do just that, after a public consultation on a sales ban received an overwhelming response in favour of it. conservation groups say they hope the move will put a stop to the shocking decline in the world's elephant population. around 20,000 are slaughtered every year to feed global demand for ivory. that has the number of elephants drop by almost a third over the past decade. it has been possible to sell items made with ivory before 1947 in britain without a certificate, but the new ban would all but stop that. china, the us and france have tightened their approach to ivory sales, but campaigners hope the uk's stance will encourage other eu countries to follow suit. we're joined now by nicole itano from the world wide fund

for nature, and auctioneerjames lewis. nicol, we saw alice and explain the problem, i am quite staggered by the figures, of how many elephants are still killed? there are more elephants being poached every year than are being born. it is unsustainable, and we are at risk of losing this truly majestic species, but more than that it has an impact on all the other animals, because elephants are hugely important ecosystems, they... the third of trees can only germinate because they go through elephants to.|j don't think anyone would disagree in this country, but how is this attitude not spread? where are the big problems, who was not listening? this is a growing problem. it has to

do with globalisation and the fact that it do with globalisation and the fact thatitis do with globalisation and the fact that it is much easier to trade these animals, through the rise of criminal networks, it is the same networks that are trafficking in ivory that are trafficking in drugs and people. it is a global problem and people. it is a global problem and we need to tackle it on a global scale. briefly, this measure that is coming in today, will it make any difference? the direct join coming in today, will it make any difference? the directjoin up will work, less elephants will be killed? for two reasons. we have a lot of evidence that the uk antique ivory network is being used to launder illegal ivory. we know that is happening. but it also makes the uk a global leader, and it is an important summit happening here in 0ctober, important summit happening here in october, and buy at the uk taking a strong stands it allows them to push other countries in asia to do the same. what we need is a global ban. james, you are with us not long ago, and you are on board with the principles behind this, do you have

a different take on whether today's decision is the right thing to do? it has been a very difficult tightrope to walk the michael gove, and the antiques trade are very polarised on this issue. there are those that say there is nothing wrong with the law as it is, and are those who say there is something wrong with the law as it is and we need to act on doing something about it. there are two major issues that the antiques trade are involved with. i would like to start by saying that almost all the antique collect this who have collected antique ivory, the last thing on earth they would ever do, 99.9% of them, is buy a piece of modern ivory. the two things are very different. if you collect antique ivory or antique carvings in general, you often find ivory mixed with bamboo and other substances like stone, that is very different to the chinese view or the east in view that looks at ivory as a commodity. do you think those

people, as people accept that they are muddling the waters, that if any of it is legal, then it muddies the waters? it has been a very difficult argument to put forward. i think the thing is, there were certain elements who have muddied the waters, and certain elements who have not. if you look at one of these little miniature...” have not. if you look at one of these little miniature... i will hold this up. that is what is inside that frame. if you see how much ivory is there, you are ever know there was any ivory. where is ivory is there, you are ever know there is any "animal; is i ivory is there, you are ever know there hi ég’aviu’yhvn”: as i very thin layer that is used as the base material. these are from 1810, 1820, and michael gove has use these as an exemption. these will be legal to sell. he has listened to the antiques trade in that way the and then there are things like this, a solid piece of ivory, previously

legal to sell, but now it will be illegal. how wild is antique in terms of ivory? the true definition is over 100 years old. the legislation said anything before 1947 was legal to sell, anything after is illegal. what happens if you have it? this is a concern. there are people who 20 or 30 years ago have got some of these pieces. 0ne ago have got some of these pieces. one thing the government does need to look at, now it has done the ban, now it has made the decision, is those people who have invested in some pieces, are going to look for compensation. is there a market for things completely outside the law? are there people who are dealing with it, that will carry on regardless to? is that the hardest pa rt regardless to? is that the hardest part of this to reach? that market

is not really happening largely in the uk, that market is happening primarily in asia, but we live in a globalised world. and i thinkjames would agree the problem is when you have this legal market at the cebit is between them happen. so it is only by having very rigourous controls on the legal market, really only allowing things that are not driving the illegal trade, can we really stop the illegal trade. and yes, it is the illegal trade that is decimating elephants in africa, we know there are a link. thank you very much. this is the scene in glasgow at the moment. a bit rainy. here is our shot at the moment from the bbc. a bit rainy, chilly as well. we have seen a lot of snow all around the country, particularly in the north of england and in scotland. 0f particularly in the north of england and in scotland. of course, in the hills as well. carol, is it set to

continue? today, yes, especially in scotland. currently we have snow in the southern up lines and highlands and grampians. it will ease away on the up lines and he replaced my rain as milderair the up lines and he replaced my rain as milder air comes in but it will continue in the highlands and grampians through today and into tomorrow as well. through the next few days it will be milder in the south, chilly in the north. lacie later in the week you see the temperatures rise. it is already mild, it was mild in the south yesterday and, there has travelled that bit further north. that will eventually turn the snow in the southern up lines back into rain. we will continue with it in the highlands and grampians. through the day eventually it will start going back up into the hills before later it comes back down again. northern ireland, northern england, wales and the south—west there is a lot of cloud around, as there is in eastern england. low pressure is driving our weather, everything rotating around in an anticlockwise direction, so we are seeing rain and showers and

through the afternoon some of the showers are likely to be heavy and possibly thundery. also we will see some of that cloud break, sunshine coming out. with highs of 13 or 14 it will feel pleasant enough for this stage in april, although in scotla nd this stage in april, although in scotland it will feel quite cold. five at rest in aberdeen. as we head on through the evening and overnight, more snow coming across scotland, more of that coming across the southern up lines, and by the end of the night across the pennines. still a lot of rain and showers. not everyone seeing it, all wrapped around an area of low pressure and the wind will strengthen across devon and cornwall. not as milder night in the south but not as cold as it will be in the north and here there is the risk of ice. tomorrow we start off with a snow in scotland, rein in the southern up lines, but we will see snow in the course of the day, as we will across the pennines. tomorrow, the showers will be heavier than today and they will have some thunder and lightning embedded in

them. temperature—wise, three in the north to highs of 13 has become further south. by thursday, what is happening as we have our low pressure moving away towards scandinavia. a ridge of high pressure comes in before the next ridge of low pressure comes our way. under that region will be a cold and frosty start. there is the risk of ice but there will be a lot of sunshine. thursday is looking like a pretty nice day, more or less across the board. however, is our area of low pressure approaches, the cloud ahead of it will build. for northern ireland, scotland, western england and west wales, the sunshine will turn hazy. temperature—wise, much better in the north. highs of 13 as we pushed down to the south. and it is going to turn milder, especially this weekend. the weather is so rotten that people are not shopping, as you know what they have been doing? planning for

their isas? what else would you do when it is miserable outside? clearly you have a different life to the people we are talking to. and it is nearly the end of the tax year. you are loving yourself that, having a little giggle. good morning everyone. we are getting closer to the end of the tax year, i am sure lots of you know that, so it is a good time to look whether you are making the most out of your savings and investments. that is what we are talking about this morning. you can save up to £20,000 a year in an individual savings account, an isa. you can't carry over your allowance, so you either use it or lose it. crucially, you don't have to pay any tax on the interest earned. but interest is low,with the best rates for cash isas at less than 1.0%. hannah maundrell is from money.co.uk. good morning. tell us what has been happening with isas? they have been

keeping up a little bit. over the last few years savings rates have increased ever so slightly, including cash isas. it means the equivalent savings rate and the equivalent savings rate and the equivalent isas rate are about the same, 1.3% forthe equivalent isas rate are about the same, 1.3% for the top paying insta nt same, 1.3% for the top paying instant access cash isas. cash isas used to be worth everyone investing in, because the interest was tax—free. now we have a personal savings interest allowance which means you can earn £1000 of interest on regular savings without paying any tax on it. that is the basic rate of taxpayers. if you are a higher rate taxpayer that is £500, and additional rate taxpayers don't get that at all. what that means is the most people isas are really worth it if they are looking to save for the long—term. if they are looking to save for a house, especially the first house, or if they have a significant amount of savings. essentially cash isas are essentially a savings account that

remains tax—free forever. essentially a savings account that remains tax-free forever. it is interesting as well, because we also have the lifetime isas as well. do they affect how much you can put into isas, if you have a lifetime isa? so each year you can put £400 into a lifetime isa and the government will give you a bonus on everything you put in. you can continue paying into it until you are six or 60 or when you buy your first home. crucially, there is a penalty if you take your money out before you are 60, and you are going to ta ke before you are 60, and you are going to take your money out and not retiring. worth considering if you are planning on buying yourfirst property in the next few years. so just looking at savings at the moment, every time we talk about it, lots of savers get in touch and say the rates are so low. will they go up the rates are so low. will they go up again as we see interest rates going up? at some point we expect the bank of england to increase the base rate. the hope is that savings rates will go up to match that

slightly. the big worry is that savings rates are not keeping up with inflation, so your buying power of your money is not keeping up with the cost of things. so really it is worth looking outside the box, not just that isas, but also things like high interest current accounts, regular savers, and also paying down some of your debts with your savings. so that you are not paying out that interest. it is looking at how much you have got and looking to build—upa how much you have got and looking to build—up a little bit of a savings pot and making that work as hard for you as possible. good advice, as ever. naga, have you been looking at more isa stuff on your computer that? writing stuff down! the commonwealth games in glasgow was a terrific occasion, and it had really good weather, as i remember, but it wasn't warm. whereas the gold coast, australia for this one, 20

six degrees! could be very nice. unlike the olympics. but, unlike the olympics, the home nations all compete separately, as well as the isle of man, guernsey and jersey. mike went to meet one athlete representing jersey at his third games. apologies to bergerac, the tv detective from these shores, move over, jersey cows renowned for their milk. this channel island now has another export who's about to make the world sit up and take notice. whatever happens in the coming weeks, dan halksworth will set a new commonwealth games record in australia as the first athlete ever to have been at three different commonwealth games, competing in three separate sports. he started as a swimmer at the melbourne games in 2006. he was then at glasgow in the triathlon in 2014. and now in the gold coast, he will once again representjersey, but this time, in the road cycling time trial. i never quite got to the olympics.

so the commonwealth games has always been sort of the best i can achieve, representing the islands. and so for me, getting into it is quite special and to be able to do it three times is quite cool, and to be able to do it in three different sports is even better. so being able to go and do what i enjoy doing and representing my island is awesome and, yeah, i think i probably feel the pressure a little bit more when i'm there, but at the moment, i'm kind of quite relaxed about it and just looking forward to it. dan is no stranger to multisport disciplines, having been the uk champion at the even more extreme ironman distance. so spending hours in the saddle is not a problem, especially with a view to inspire around every corner here. now, ijoined dan on a ride through the countryside and along the coast to see how

well his swimming legs have been retrained to focus purely on pedalling. and we needed mental strength too with the wind threatening to blow us out to sea. because i grew up as a swimmer, i'll always be a swimmer. i think deep down, yeah, swimming's probably my favourite. i've loved the last couple of years, doing something different, ou know swimmin ‘s very much up and down. whereas when i've been away on cycling trips, you get to see a lot more and things like that. to fully make the switch from swimmer to cyclist has required a lot of gym work in his garage, while he doesn't have the budget of the bigger teams. we are quite a small little fish in a big pond, so i'm an island boy, my mum's from here, and i'll always represent the islands and quite a proud thing for me to do. i'm massively out of my depth, but i'm going tojust go and have a good time and go as hard as i can and hopefully not embarrass myself. dan is one of 33 athletes going from jersey to the commonwealth games and on the gold coast, at least, they'll certainly feel at home. as this tiny island

and their biggest star prepare to take their place in commonwealth games history. tomorrow mike will be at the gold coast, bringing us the build—up to the games. we are told his live position is on the beach. the opening ceremony starts at 10:30am uk time. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm tolu adeoye. as we have been hearing, a 17—year—old girl has been shot dead in tottenham. officers were called to chalgrove road yesterday evening. the teenager died at the scene. the shooting comes amid concerns over rising violent crime in the capital. on sunday, a 20—year—old man became the 31st victim of knife crime in london so far this year. a couple who were at stansted when a fire broke out on a bus have called for more training for airport staff.

the blaze on friday was caused by an electrical fault. it lead to the cancellation of all flights. bosses apologised to travellers for the disruption. passengers described the scene as chaotic. it was like sardines in a tin, so many people in the terminal. it was — and still, people are trying to get in, queueing outside. and, yeah, it took me 20 minutes to get out, and i couldn't —james was picking me up and i couldn't phone him because all the phones, i think, were jammed because everyone tried to use the phone. new trials to speed up cancer diagnosis will be introduced in five hospitals across london and essex. the so—called one—stop shops will try to quickly diagnose patients with symptoms including abdominal pain and unexplained weight loss. some patients will be told on the same day they are tested. others within two weeks. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, there are severe delays on the northern line. other lines running well. 0n the trains, a replacement bus service is running on southern between sutton and epsom downs, because of electrical supply

problems. 0n roads, the blackwall tunnel is slow northbound from blackwall lane. 0n the m25, there is a lane closed in both directions betweenjunction 24, potters bar and junction 25, enfield, for barrier repairs. and clockwise it is slow towards junction 6, after a breakdown earlier. and on the a23 brixton hill, there is a lane closed northbound between new park road and dumbarton road because a manhole has collapsed. 0k. let's have a check on the weather now, with kate kinsella. good morning. it may be a rather damp start again this morning, but it's a mild one. the temperatures overnight didn't drop too far, so many of us starting the day in double figures celsius. we will, however, start to see some showers, potentially some quite heavy ones. so the rain will clear away east. we're still going to be left with quite a bit of cloud, and these heavy showers blowing through, but later on this afternoon, the cloud thinning and breaking. hopefully by the end of the day we should see some sunny spells. temperatures getting up to a mild 14 celsius.

0vernight, it starts off clear. the temperature, therefore, a little bit fresher than it was last night. but, through the early hours of tomorrow morning, we'll see the cloud increasing and further potentially quite heavy showers arriving. the minimum temperature between 6—8 celsius. a potentially dry start tomorrow. yes, there might be a bit of rain out towards the north and the east, but that will slowly start to clear. but then further showers, potentially some quite heavy ones through tomorrow afternoon, rumbles of thunder, maybe some hail. then a ridge of high pressure builds in for thursday and friday, so some dry, potentially quite sunny weather. a bit cooler, but then temperatures getting a little bit warmer as we head into the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. plenty more on our website, details on the screen for you now, and on bbc radio london. now, though, it is back to charlie and naga. good morning it's tuesday 3rd april. a 17 year—old—girl is shot dead

in a street in north london. the capital's 47th murder this year comes amid growing concern over the levels of violent crime. good morning, it's tuesday 3rd april. also this morning... a roll—out of new "one stop shop" cancer diganosis centres — offering fewer tests and faster diagnosis. the british company fighting to keep the contract to make our passports when we leave the eu is appealing against the government's decision. in sport... frustration for england's cricketers who finish two wickets short of winning the second test against new zealand in christchurch. a discovery of giant footprints leads scientists to conclude that an older cousin of tyrannosaurus rex lived on the isle of skye 170 million years ago. these were the snowy scenes in the peak district yesterday — is winter nearly over? carol has got the forecast.

good morning and today barbara once again we are looking at some further snow in scotland are almost a very confined to the hills. in other areas, some rain and some showers but feeling much milder. more in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. a 17—year—old girl has been shot dead in north london, in what is thought to be the 47th murder in the capital this year. in a separate incident in walthamstow, a 16—year—old boy was left critically ill after being shot. 0ur reporterjon donnison is in tottenham now. jon, there has been a lot of talk about crime levels more generally, but tell us a little bit about this latest incident? well, last night, two shootings in the space of less than an hour, within about two miles of each other. at the moment police are not saying whether they think

those two shootings were linked, but here in tottenham, you can see the tent behind me know the police about an hour rugolo removed the body of a 17—year—old girl who was shot here and then about half an hour after that, a 16—year—old boy was shot in waltha mstow, that, a 16—year—old boy was shot in walthamstow, just to the east of here. he is in a critical condition in hospital, and in that incident, a 17—year—old boy was also stabbed, also in hospital. and all this as a lot of people are debating what are some alarming murder statistics? that's right. 47 murders now in london this year. a lot of people have seen those comparisons to new york, apparently this year london has a higher murder rate the new york. i think it has to be said that might be because new york is a particularly low murder rate this year, for various reasons, and certainly london eye think remains a relatively safe city compared to other places. let's just have a

quick look, in january, eight other places. let's just have a quick look, injanuary, eight murder cases in london, february, 15, and in march that went up to 22 murder cases. important to remember, though, as i say that relative to other cities around the world, relatively low levels of violent crime in london. 10 new assessment centres designed to speed up cancer diagnosis are being introduced in england. gps will be able refer patients who have vague symptoms including unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain and fatigue, to the so—called one stop shops, where they can undergo tests for different cancers. here's more from our health correspondent dominic hughes. it helped me focus more on what my symptoms were... whenjohn lost 14kg of weight in just a few weeks, combined with nausea and fever, alarm bells started ringing. the fear was he had developed cancer. butjohn had no specific symptoms, so was referred to a new specialist unit at airedale hospital in west

yorkshire. fast track team, take blood straightaway, mri scans, ct scans more or less straightaway. you get to know what is possibly wrong with you instead of waiting weeks and weeks and weeks for some results to come back, and you're worrying all that time. the airedale clinic is one of ten in england designed to speed up a candidate gnosis, where patients with non—specific symptoms likejohn and be seen by one team who can give a fast decision, rather than waiting for different departments to carry out several tests before a diagnosis is made. the advantage is that patients can have all the tests they need in one place rather than having to go back and forth to different departments. the quicker we can get the diagnosis of cancer for a patient, the quicker we can start treatment, which means better outcomes. various doctors hadn't picked up on the fact that it might be a tropical disease... it turns out thatjohn's symptoms may not be cancer

at all but a form of malaria. the aim is that every patient likejohn is given the all clear, or a diagnosis within 28 days. the former health secretary andrew lansley has revealed he's being treated for bowel cancer. writing in the daily telegraph, lord lansley says his illness could have been caught sooner, if a screening programme he proposed hadn't been frustrated by budget cuts and a lack of staff. a spokesman for the department of health said it was making significant investments in cancer treatment and thousands of lives were being saved with screening programmes. labour leaderjeremy corbyn has been criticised for attending an event organised by a left—wing jewish group critical of mainstream jewish organisations. it comes hours after mr corbyn promised "watertight" investigations into claims of anti—semitism within his party. the bbc‘s assistant political editor, norman smith, is in westminster for us this morning. good morning. just how controversial

is this being seen as, this visit by mr corbyn? it is highly controversial, primarily because of the reaction of some of the leading jewish organisations in this country, mr corbyn's decision to attend this religious celebration organised by jewdas. attend this religious celebration organised byjewdas. why? because jewdas are a left—wing ram some organisation but the significant thing is that they have been highly critical of the allegations of his images within the labour party, describing them as a cynical manipulation by mr corbyn's opponents, and groups like the jewish leadership council says mr corbyn's decision to go to their event first, before any otherjoyce occasion, shows he still does not ta ke occasion, shows he still does not take seriously the allegations of anti—semitism. labour sources say this was an event on the border of mr corbyn's constituency, many of his constituents were going to that,

including representatives from the mainstream jewish immunity and a senior rabbi. crowds of mourners and political figures have flocked to the home of winnie mandela following her death yesterday. she and her former husband nelson mandela, who were both jailed, were a symbol of the country's anti—apartheid struggle for three decades. bill hayton has more. in mourning, they sang and danced, filling the street outside winnie mandela's home, the old protest anthems now chanted in praise of a fellow fighter against apartheid. still an inspiration, even after passing, to all the women! and a former comrade in that struggle came to praise her role. she has been one of the strongest women in our struggle, who suffered immensely under the apartheid regime, who was imprisoned,

who was banished, who was treated very badly, separated not only from her husband, but from her children as well, and her people. this house in soweto was a symbol. she moved to the township in 1985, in defiance of a government banning order, and she stayed there long after the end of apartheid, while other leaders moved away. she stood up for her people and faced threats and police brutality in return. don't push me! but it was in soweto that the struggle turned bad, with her bodyguards involved in the murders of informants and grotesque killings, known as necklacing. later, she would admit things went wrong. but she refused to say sorry. she remained an uncompromising voice, and that left her on the fringes of national politics. whenever she felt that someone has

crossed a moral path, is walking on the wrong side of the way things must be done, she was fearless. she called them to order. she could do that with anc leaders. she did that with the apartheid regime. and we have lost a truly committed and fearless freedom fighter. freedom fighter, member of parliament, but also murder suspect and convicted fraudster. nonetheless, she will receive an official funeral, while the debates over her legacy continue. bill hayton, bbc news. a british ban on ivory sales is to be one of the toughest in the world. trading ivory of any age, with some limited exceptions, will be banned in an effort to reduce elephant poaching. the move, which is still to be signed into law, comes after a consultation in which more than 60,000 people supported the introduction of a complete ban. a british satellite designed to clean up rubbish in the earth's

orbit has been launched into space. the removedebris project was on board a spacex falcon 9 rocket which successfully took off from florida last night. the satellite, which features a large net to collect junk, will be delivered to the international space station before astronauts begin using it next month. those are the main stories this morning, the sport and weather coming upforyou. the scale of the homelessness problem is hard to gauge. there is no nationally—agreed figure and while rough sleepers are the most visible representation of the issue, many more people who we can't see have lost their home. but ministers have accepted that it is an issue and a new law championed by the conservative mp bob blackman comes into force today. he joins us from westminster. and simon locke from the charity emmaus salford and jenny bottomley who has experienced homelessness. good morning to you all. if i can

come to you first, bob blackman, do you want to explain what these new measures will do? yes, this is the biggest shake up in housing law for 41 yea rs. biggest shake up in housing law for 41 years. i championed this through both houses of parliament. what this does is, anyone who is threatened with homelessness, 56 days before that terrible crisis happens, will now be able to go to the local authority, and instead of being turned away, the local authority will have to sit them down and say, how can we help? and constructor housing plan which has actions for the individual and for the local authority, which will then lead to an offer of accommodation. that does not mean to say everyone who approaches the local authority is going to get a council house or anything like that. probably most offers will be in the private sector. but it does mean that no—one will be turned away and told, go and

find a shop doorway for a park bench and sleep there overnight and hopefully one of the housing charities will come and help you under the second night out proposals. so, this is a radical solution, it affects everybody who is leaving the armed forces, people leaving prison, people leaving hospitals, care leavers and anyone basically who is threatened with homelessness. what it should lead to is that no—one but no—one should be four to be a rough sleeper in the future. simon, you help run a homeless charity, so from now on someone will come to you and will there be accommodation to offer them? well, there is limited accommodation, we can work with up to 26 people in our organisation, we are not emergency accommodation but we do have some condition. we are a community where people come and make it their home. so, when number 27 comes up to you, bob blackman is

saying no—one will be turned away, when number 27 comes to you, what happens? well, hopefully we are moving forward and we are to have emergency pods on our land where street homeless people can come and stay in the accommodation. the people who do most of the work in our communities are our companions, former homeless people, so they will be delivering that service. former homeless people, so they will be delivering that servicelj former homeless people, so they will be delivering that service. i hate doing this to people because this is your life story, but tell us a bit about how you came to be homeless in the first place? it was basically just a relationship breakdown, as simple as that. and things unravelled pretty quickly? yeah. how was it that you came to be with nowhere to live? basically i had nowhere to live? basically i had nowhere else to go. i was thrown out of my home by my ex and i was on the streets, it was as simple as that,

the only place i knew where to go was a local council and they set me up was a local council and they set me up in overnight accommodation, there was nothing else, there was no other hostels that they could give me, so that was... what were you told, were you put up for one night in this accommodation? i was put up for a couple of nights, they only reserve the pods for people but they could actually help and get into the housing market round there. unfortunately i was seen as not being local because i have no local connections whatsoever so... theyjust kind of tried to hand me off on other councils. i'm curious, jenny, given your experience, i know you're in a good place now and it's important to say, then southport died much better, but when you hear this kind of proposals and the notion that a council has

more culpability, you can track back further and ask those questions about why things weren't on, what do you take from that? the youth seed ata you take from that? the youth seed at a something that can make a tangible difference? it can but there is a lot of changes that needs to be done, a heck of a lot more support for people before they actually become homeless because it's not just one actually become homeless because it's notjust one little thing, it cove rs it's notjust one little thing, it covers mental health issues, domestic violence, and in cases such as domestic violence, people need a place to go. bob, you can hear from jenny's experience, we spoke to simon as well who helps run a homeless charity, the homeless reduction act, i don't think anyone would say this is a bad thing, of course, we want to reduce and eliminate homelessness, £30 million extra is going to be given to councils, is that enough, can you

honestly say that's enough and that the situation now is in place that front today, no one will be turned away, no one will be forced into a doorway, simply because they'd been told, councils have been told they should offer that? let's be clear, what has been announced, £73 million of government money to go out to local councils to ease this act, £30 million committed by government to deal with rough sleeping right now and the key point i think your guest made the point that prevention is better than cure and the idea behind my legislation is that people should receive help and assistance before they come to the crisis of being homeless rather than waiting until they are harmless. the cost in this country is £1.7 billion a year in temporary accommodation, if councils can plan ahead for when someone is going to be homeless and have them properly, that means they don't have to put them in very excellence of

temporary accommodation which is bad news financially but even worse, and experience of the individual.“ news financially but even worse, and experience of the individual. if i may, simon, you are listening to that and there was a series of noises coming from you, explain, clearly frustration from you about what you are hearing. let's be clear, we applaud the government is actually doing something, as a law, councils are to be given responsibility to undertake work to prevent homelessness, prevention is better than cure, one of the solutions to homelessness, but we can't work with everyone. 100 million across all local authorities, it's not enough. what does it represent? how much good will that do? i've worked in the sector for many years, worked with local authorities for many years and i've seen systematic cuts to services, workers, skilled workers, training, who is going to undertake this work? the point he makes is that councils have the ability to

plan ahead? who is going to plan ahead, undertake the work, planning is great, who implemented? which is the pointjenny made at the beginning, who are the people you turn to? if i can't cut across you, sorry, we have over 700 people that lived experiences of homelessness, who better to offer experience? simon, thank you, jenny, glad things have worked out and bob blackman, thank you for your time. it's 19 minutes past eight. this is the scene in belfast at the moment. it's a bit grey, some scenes of snow, especially in the peak district, some snow, carol is going to make it all better, aren't you? good morning. good morning, only in that it good morning. good morning, only in thatitis good morning. good morning, only in that it is going to turn a little bit milder, snow in the forecast as
