pictures from 20 years ago you realise how much you have aged! but moving on. yesterday was the warmest london marathon on record, the actual temperature reached was 24.2, 75.5df, so very warm indeed. that's in the past for the time being, though, because cooler and fresher this week, not cold but cooler than it has been. sunny spells and blustery showers. today we have a set of fronts coming in from the west, showers in the west ahead of them and noticeable wind and the crowd will continue to build through the day from the west as well. the further east you are the brighter it will be. you won't see so many showers first thing but a fresh start to the day, fresher than yesterday and we have the showers coming into western areas. later in the day we start to see some rain

and temperature wise, roughly up to 15, but in the london area, we could hit 17 so down on what we saw yesterday. through this evening and overnight, a fair bit of cloud with showers and rain from our weather front moving from the west over to the east, clear skies coming in behind. still fairly breezy, not a particularly cold night but again fresher than we've been used to for some, temperatures into double figures across southern areas. tomorrow we start on this cloudy note in the south, and what will happen then is the front coming in behind it has a bit of a wave on it so behind it has a bit of a wave on it so we'll see more rain coming in and that looks like it will go further north, more like drizzle in southern counties, but not of that for northern england, scotland and northern england, scotland and northern ireland, once again showers around and some could be heavy and maybe thundery. temperatures still in double figures, temperatures this week are free where they should be

at this stage in april, just because we've been spoiled by the higher temperatures last week. then into wednesday, still a fair bit of dry weather with sunshine, showers again coming in across northern ireland, scotla nd coming in across northern ireland, scotland and getting in through wales and england but they are showers and not everyone will see them and again, temperatures still in double figures, roughly where they should be. on thursday, more of they should be. on thursday, more of the same, we have those april showers coming in through the west and drifting to the east but in between, a fair bit of sunshine, and some will miss them and get away with a dry day with a pleasant day with a dry day with a pleasant day with a dry day with a pleasant day with a fair bit of cloud in the north, not so in the south, looking at highs into the mid—teens. then as we head to the weekend, it's all about the jet stream, last weekend it was to the north allowing warm and hotairto it was to the north allowing warm and hot air to filter across us, by the end of this week it will be right across us, so cooler conditions. by the time we get to next weekend, some could be looking at frost, that's more likely to be in the north of the country but i'll

keep you updated as we go through this week. needless to say we will be celebrating your 20th anniversary on breakfast. carol and sally were talking about the hot weather at the london marathon, and it makes the front page of some of the papers. in the daily express, dozens collapsed in the hottest ever marathon on the main story they have is the scandal of shops selling knives to children as young as 14 despite a nationwide ban. the front page of the daily telegraph is about banning fast foods shops near schools, and just about to finish sitting a record at the london marathon, and here he is shortly after finishing. the london marathon, and here he is shortly afterfinishing. and having watched quite a lot of it on the

telly, lots of people get wobbly and colla pse telly, lots of people get wobbly and collapse at the end of the marathon on but yesterday really was tough for so many on but yesterday really was tough for so many runners, on but yesterday really was tough for so many runners, including mo, actually. the front page of the guardian has more on the windrush story, a family, trevorjohnson, with his siblings injamaica before coming in1971. with his siblings injamaica before coming in 1971. they detail their own particular story of coming to this country. and we mentioned martin lewis taking facebook to court, that is on the front page, as is the london marathon, and their main story is that theresa may will face calls from senior brexit supporting ministers to ditch her favoured option of a customs steel. there is some discussion as to what exactly is the option. we will discuss that with jeremy hunt. and a car theft kit for sale on amazon,

electronic items which can steal ca i’s electronic items which can steal cars being sold for £100. not happy with that one —— customs deal. cars being sold for £100. not happy with that one -- customs deal. and you were talking about mo farah, and the marathon is on the front pages. 0n the back pages, anyone watching yesterday will have seen mo farah getting very stressed about his drinks. at one point he picked up a bottle that wasn't his, and at another point someone was trying to ta ke another point someone was trying to take a selfie with him running towards them when he was trying to find his bottle. he complained to one of the outriders saying can you tell the people pleased to focus on the drinks rather than getting their picture with me, and he got really quite stressed about it in the heat. interesting afterwards, gabby logan asked him was that perhaps a little bit of a waste of your energy, and you could tell the stress of having to perform was obviously really... he had to run back at one point to

get the right bottle. around the motorbike and outright. and every second counts. and it does take a bit of your mental energy, thinking whereas my bottle? and he wasn't the only person to have problems. there we re only person to have problems. there were other problems for other runners on the course as well. worked hard to make sure everyone was hydrated but they did at one point run out of water. it was a very hot day. i want to talk a little bit about this. arsene wenger, who has spoken for the first time since announcing he will leave at the end of the season, and he was very honest. he said i am not tired, he said it will be difficult for him to get another job he said it will be difficult for him to get anotherjob managing in this country, and he didn't say he would retire or stop. he made it quite clear that the divisions that have come out of certain very vocal members of the arsenal supporter clu bs ha d members of the arsenal supporter clubs had probably played its part in him losing hisjob, and that is

what he felt. given a bit of a shove, wasn't he? a little tiny shove. and it is interesting, all that focus on facebook right now, the telegraph has a story looking ahead to facebook‘s results next week, and the company wants results could take a hit as they have to spend a lot more money on policing the website. it could cost them dearly in terms of their profits, and we will get an update from them next week. speaking of profits, the big banks are paying terrible rates of interest is the story in the times, suggesting that because we do not move our bank accounts around we are losing out on £1 billion of interest a year, leaving money in rubbish accounts, paying bad interest rates. and what is that picture? the european stone stacking competition. how many do you think he managed to stack? 42. 27. 29,

down to macon last year. congratulations to him —— 29, down two on last year. and we talked about carol's 20th anniversary brea kfast, about carol's 20th anniversary breakfast, but this is a nice story. when we get tojune it will have been 20 years, and apparently, and i can vouch for this as well, married couples who make it to 20 years are happier. yes, it is really nice. a p pa re ntly happier. yes, it is really nice. apparently they say these couples are likely to have put... i will not say too much, actually. they spend more time doing activities together, and yesterday went for a bike ride, often more than when they were newly wed. you are very strict about how you like your tea. the top ten complaints about tea, what do you think number one is? too watery, too

milky. two week as number one. number two, lukewarm. number three, too milky. does milky not go with two week? number four, served in a dirty mug. half full, not enough tea, number five. the dirty mug. half full, not enough tea, numberfive. the monk is shipped, and number ten, tea, numberfive. the monk is shipped, and numberten, too much sugar —— mug is chipped. shipped, and numberten, too much sugar -- mug is chipped. is this your way of putting in an order?|j your way of putting in an order?” will happily, as louise will tell you, drink anything! except for coffee. actually, yes. what do you know? i have been married for 20 years, i will have you no! that went well, didn't it? from the scottish referendum and brexit to the election of president trump in america, it can feel like we're living

in an increasingly divided world with strong opinions splitting families and friends. this morning, a new survey for the bbc, carried out across 27 countries, has found that people in the uk feel more divided than most, and that things are getting worse. so what is the solution? john maguire has been to bristol to see how one supper club is helping to bring the city together. they are little wit or semolina balls. there is basmati rice, chickpeas, quite a lot of chilies. cooking doesn't get any more diverse than this. there are dishes at this pep-up than this. there are dishes at this pop—up cafe tonight from around the globe, including cameroon, kurdistan and peru, and he also other people who cook them. this woman set this up who cook them. this woman set this up three years ago. 91 refers to the number of languages spoken here in bristol. we are similar in so many

ways. we are all human beings, but we know we do have differences. the differences may be in the way we eat, maybe in the way we pray, but actually we are all human beings. we have that common humanity, and that is why we use food. because food is such a commonality, it is a common experience. the food is a way to start conversations. this is a place where people actually ask you about your background, and they are interested. through your food, you share your experience, you meet other people. so what are our attitudes to division between people like around the world? the bbc commissioned a survey of 27 countries which found that 75% think their society is divided. in the uk, that number is even higher, at 85%. is division getting worse? internationally, 59% said yes, and at home it is higher again. 74% thought we were more divided as a

society now than ten years ago. there is a big variation in what people say divides them. half the country's sake that the most divisive thing within their country is politics. that is far from the only issue. there are lots of other issues that divide people. so in russia and china it is about division between rich and poor. in western europe, much of western europe, including britain, it is about immigration and religion. the government says. . . dame louise casey wrote a report on integration, and says the government needs to do far more. well, one of the first things we could do is make sure that every single person of working and school age in this country can speak the same language. and i would literally flood the country with english language classes overnight. that is one of the most key things. it would heal

this division so clearly, so quickly. it is really time for every kid in this country to mix with someone kid in this country to mix with someone that's different to them, and that includes people in eaton who will never meet someone who has been to a comprehensive. it is about time that they did. the same way i would take kids out of tough cop reckons it's in the north—east and give them some light on some different so they could have different so they could have different aspirations. these are widespread, even global, issues and concerns. race, age and well. history can also cast its shadow. but here, over indian, sudanese and somali food, individuals are coming together and trying to sow the seeds of tolerance, understanding, and ultimately change. and crossing divides continues all this week on bbc tv, radio, and online. you will find more details at bbc.co.uk/crossingdivides, and if you would like to tweet about anything you have seen, use the hashtag #crossingdivides. let's get the news, travel

and weather from where you are on this monday morning. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. so record temperatures for yesterday's london marathon, with over 38,000 runners crossing the finishing line. a group of them were london brigade firefighters who tackled the grenfell fire last year, who raised tens of thousands of pounds for a centre to help children and families affected by the blaze. it was so warm yesterday that on average every runner drank 4.5 litres of water, which is more than any other mass—participation event in the world. but organisers say they will learn lessons after some water stations ran dry. a chef at one of london's leading restaurants has left herjob to work in a school kitchen in hackney. nicole pisani now prepares lunch for 500 schoolchildren on a budget of less than £1 each a day. food being served up includes sweet potato and spinach dahl and salmon goujons with pea shoots.

pisani says she wants school cooks to see themselves more as school chefs. i needed to have the same hierarchy, i needed to have the same hierarchy, i needed the head chef, sous chef, to get the party rolls. with the staff, we wanted to skill them. it was really important to me that they would chop, that they would fill at fish, that they would portion fish. —— fillet fish. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, the northern line has no service northbound between morden and east finchley, and golders green via bank and charing cross, due to a signal failure. via bank and charing cross, there are minor delays on the circle line between hammersmith and edgware road because of another signalfailure. and that is also affecting the hammersmith & city line, which has minor delays between hammersmith and edgware road. and the bakerloo line has minor delays between queens park and harrow and wealdstone,

because of yet another signal failure. 0n the roads, in east london, the a13 has the usual build—up of traffic london—bound from the goresbrook interchange to the lodge avenue flyover. let's have a check on the weather now, with kate. good morning. well, after an absolutely beautiful weekends, of what can be described as summery weather, it is kind of retracting back to spring as we head into this week. it is certainly feeling fresher this morning. the good news is we've still got a bit of sunshine, and it still sane dry. a clear start this morning, with some blue sky. morkel outfitting and, though, through the course of the day from the west. what it is broken cloud. it is a bit breezy as well, and that breeze is quite fresh. we are looking at a maximum of 17 celsius, so considerably cooler than yesterday, and indeed the last few days. now, overnight tonight we will see more cloud coming in from the west, thick enough to be some outbreaks of rain. some of those could be heavy but most of will be

light and patchy rain. temperatures between nine and 11 celsius. so rather than start as we headed in the tuesday morning. a fairly cloudy day, further outbreaks of rain through the afternoon. temperatures in the mid—teens. and they are going to stay that way, really, for much of this week. some brighter weather as we had through midweek, with some sunny spells, with the temperature is certainly feeling a lot cooler. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. goodbye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. it's monday the 23rd of april. we'll have the latest news and sport injust a moment, but coming up later in the programme: they're used to squaring off on opposite sides of the commons but today the health secretary, jeremy hunt, and his labour shadow, jon ashworth, will put aside party differences to launch a new plan to help the children of alcoholic parents.

would. so as last resort, i'm suing them for defamation in the high court in the hopes it stops them running these adverts. a 70—year—old woman has been named as one of the four britons killed in a coach crash in saudi arabia. raj begum hussain from blackburn had been on a pilgrimage from the islamic holy sites of mecca to medina when the coach she was travelling on collided with a fuel tanker. 12 other pasengers were also injured. tsb has apologised after customers complained about problems with their online banking over the weekend. the bank was carrying out maintenance work to its online system that was due to end yesterday evening. but customers were still struggling to log on last night with some even reporting seeing other people's account details on their app. tsb say fixing the issue is a priority. shall we talk about the marathon again, sally? so many people running under extraordinary circumstances,

the weather. organisers had said don't wear your rhino suit. whatever your outfit is, tone it down a bit and make it a your outfit is, tone it down a bit and make ita bit your outfit is, tone it down a bit and make it a bit lighter, as then as possible but plenty of people ignored them. good for them! and they managed to finish! but our main story is that man, mo farah, who has set a new british marathon record despite the heat, the hottest ever london marathon. the four—time olympic gold medallist finished third. it was his first marathon since retiring from the track. he finished in two hours, six minutes and 21 seconds beating a 33—year—old record. more water than ever was handed out per competitor, but organisers admit they did run out at certain points on the course. training's been going well, conditions were a little hard today, hot, but as you know, great support from the crowd, from the people, wa nt to from the crowd, from the people, want to thank everyone who's come out, cheering my name, just being

i think it has to do with bicycles? good morning. we are talking to a primary school in stockport and look around at how leafy and green it is, no children here yet, though, they're all having their breakfast at home. you wouldn't believe it because just beyond those trees is the m60, the m56, the m6, the m62 and the a6, one of the most heavily congested roads in greater manchester, congested for much of the day, so air—pollution is really significant and what we want to do todayis significant and what we want to do today is talk about the pedal campaign to get more kids walking into school and on their bikes to bring down pollution. 53% of schoolchildren come into school on foot, 53%, only 3% are cycling but the remainder are driven in. let me

introduce someone who's done some research in this area, rosalind golden league. you are behind some research that has gone to children, 1000 children, to ask them their views on air—pollution, what did you find that was quite striking? we found children have a high awareness of the affects air—pollution is having on them, they are the most susceptible to air—pollution, it affects their brain development and lung development and a whole host of issues and they are concerned about that and they are learning about it in school and they want the government to do something and local politicians as well and what they wa nt politicians as well and what they want is they want safer routes to schools and more investment in encouraging them to do things like the big pedal all the year round. 43% of kids said air—pollution was significant. i want to bring in mark, calling mark! mark beaumont, here he comes, how perfectly set up was that hiding behind the shed?

mark famous for cycling around the world in how many days? 78 days. fantastic work. you have gone all around the world and riven through countries with some of the worst air pollution and what was the impact on you —— driven. why do you care? pollution and what was the impact on you -- driven. why do you care? when i was riding through the likes of russia last year i had really bad respiratory infections from constant pollution, sitting at the tail end of trucks, so i know firsthand what it's like and now i have my kids going on bikes around towns and cities so i think about it a lot. you want to more people, 600,000 kids taking part in the big pedal over the next two weeks, they get out of the car and go to school, but some people will say it's not practical, we would like to do more to get air—pollution levels down but it's not practical, what do you say? the big pedal, 1500 schools have already signed up, it starts today,

the next couple of weeks, initiatives like this get people thinking and they kick change the culture we want to see in the uk and with so many people already involved, thinking how they can take sustainable transport to school, get the number of cars around the school area down, so you're right, not practicalfor area down, so you're right, not practical for everyone all the time but this is a cultural shift and thinking practically about getting kids onto their bicycles and scooters and it's great fun as well. we are using the metaphor of me cycling around the world, over the next couple of weeks the kids tried to race me around the world and learn about where i went and what i did so there's tons of great resources online, go to bigpedal.org.uk and you can see some of the great initiatives. we will be talking to some children soon and it couldn't be more important. research out of birmingham university said the correlation between the spike in air—pollution and sudden infant death syndrome has been noticed. we

will speak to you later this morning. it is a windy day! not a good hair day if you are trying to keep it all trapped down this morning. all over the shop! not jane's hair by the way! notjane's hair by the way! i'm getting myself into all sorts of trouble! 20 years of carol! here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. lovely hair by the way! good morning. a fresh start to the day today than of late across many parts of the uk, and as we go into the new week, it will turn that bit cooler. not cold but it will be cool thanit cooler. not cold but it will be cool than it has been. sunny spells, blustery showers and today we have a brisk westerly wind, especially in the west, as we saw with jane. what's happening today is we have a weather front coming in from the west, that will bring in some rain later in the date and at the moment

we have showers, a lot of which are coming in on the wind in western areas but a couple will be seen in the east but east is generally best today for the sunshine, bright conditions. breezy but not as windy as in the west and as the weather fronts approach we see the showery outbreaks coming our way with increasing cloud from the west. temperature wise, roughly where we should be at this stage in april, looking at about 11 in the north and highs of 15 in the south and in the south—east we could still squeeze out a 17. yesterday the top temperature was gravesend, just over 25. for the london marathon runners, it was 24.2, a record—breaking temperature for the april london marathon. as we head on through the evening and overnight, our weather front continues to push west to east taking its cloud and showery outbreaks with it as it does and behind it there will be clearer skies, drizzle in southern counties but the rain will become stuck in

the far south and south—east of the country. here it's not going to be a cold night, temperatures only dipping to around 11, about 5—7 as we go further north. tomorrow we start with what's left of the weather front in the south, but the other end of it is coming in and this is what we call a waving front, oscillating a bit and we think the heaviest rain will be in wales, across the midlands and heading to lincolnshire and yorkshire. north of that we are back into the regime of bright spells, sunshine and showers and many will miss them all together, highs of 13 in aberdeen to around 15 or 16 in the south—east. wednesday looks like a dry day for many parts with a fair bit of sunshine, but still those pesky showers coming in from the west. some could be heavy with thunder and also some hail and you can see the white on the chart, that will be hailed, not snow. in between, as i said, there will be sunshine and in the sunshine it will feel pleasant

and on thursday more of the same, dry weather and sunshine and april showers coming in from the west and the potential for someone to showers coming in from the west and the potentialfor someone to be heavy and thundery. i mentioned yesterday we got up to 24.2, that is a thing of the past for now at least because as we go to the latter part of the week, looks like some will see some frost. carol, thank you, see some frost. carol, thank you, see you later. and later we will show you some wonderful pictures we have of carol over the years on breakfast. 1998 she started, and the programme would be rubbish without her, let's be honest. you are also very good, by the way. manufacturers are one of the top targets for cyber attacks, but most aren't prepared to deal with them. ben has more. while you two sort that little row out. we are used to hearing about big businesses being hacked by criminals, but this report

from the manufacturers group the eef says small firms are increasingly at risk. it says manufacturing is the third—most—likely sector to to come under cyber attack, after government and health. and nearly half of all manufacturers have fallen victim to cyber crime. but many businesses simply don't have enough information to protect themselves. and it could have a huge impact. a year ago, the wannacry attack on the nhs hit more than a third of trusts, forcing some to turn away patients, and cancel operations. andy tuscher is a director at ndi, national defence industries, part of the eef. it is interesting, when we talk about cyber attacks, you might imagine that when you are a huge organisation you will be pretty vulnerable. what this report makes clear is that anyone is at risk. absolutely, the frightening thing is that when we started the report we

actually worked with what we called white hat hackers, ethical people who push into systems, and they said there are two kinds of manufacturers, those who know they have been hacked, and those that don't. this highlights it is very important that businesses take steps to mitigate the cyber threats, as well as taking steps to actually stop it as well. a lot of firms which could be vulnerable wouldn't imagine themselves to be the targets of attackers, so if i am making widgets on an industrial estate just outside of here, i employ 20 people and doa outside of here, i employ 20 people and do a bit of bookkeeping on the computer, and everything else is pretty manual, i wouldn't expect to be at risk. but i could be. you could be, and it is about supply chain. manufacturing is massively integrated. a lot of r&d comes from the smaller players, and if they are in complex supply chains, those widgets could go into a car. you

could be a small food producer supplying marks & spencer or tesco, and it is your loss of reputation and it is your loss of reputation and into intellectual property which could be hacked. and what could they be potentially after? as i said before, it is ip or ransom ware, and where manufacturers have been hacked, they say pay us money or we will mess up your systems. it can control a whole load of things. and cause all that disruption. if you area big cause all that disruption. if you are a big organisation you have an it department, and you have a crucial budget to deal with this. what if you are a small firm? crucial budget to deal with this. what if you are a small firm ?m crucial budget to deal with this. what if you are a small firm? it is not massively expensive, simple steps. there is a government standard called cyber essentials which details what sort of steps you need to take. it is about having a firewall and the most up—to—date patches. most importantly it is about training your staff, and that is why we were written in partnership with a large insurance

agency which will help understand and manage those risks. 0ne agency which will help understand and manage those risks. one of the biggest things as staff training. it is very easy, and again, the white hatter, they get in by leaving a usb at reception, they put it in and it is breached. it is being aware of these sorts of things. there is a lot of malwa re these sorts of things. there is a lot of malware out there. and is the wea kest lot of malware out there. and is the weakest part the human a eric? the human error is probably yet. —— human error is probably yet. —— human error. it is a sobering thought, isn't it? thank you very much. it is certainly worth all businesses thinking about this and making sure that if they can they have some sort of protection in place. more from me after seven a.m.. all football fans know that the game plays with our emotions, whether it is the joy of a last—minute winner, the anger at a diving opposition player, or the bitter sting of relegation. but, according to researchers at the university of sussex,

football is making us miserable, with the pain of defeat felt twice as hard as the joy felt when our team wins. of course, some supporters have more reason to be miserable than others, and with this in mind, we sent sunderland fan graham satchell to see his team take on burton. go to sunderland, they said, ask the fa ns go to sunderland, they said, ask the fans if they are happy. there is a report out about whether football makes fans happy. not at the present time. you can understand sunderland fa ns time. you can understand sunderland fans being miserable. two home wins in the last 14 months, it is not great. i am in the last 14 months, it is not great. iam not in the last 14 months, it is not great. i am not going to lie, it is not great. two i am so disappointed. 0h not great. two i am so disappointed. oh dear, oh dear. in the supporters' association shop, we met george

foster. he has just association shop, we met george foster. he hasjust one championship fan of the season. does football in sunderland make you happy? no, not really. not when we are in the position we're in, because people hurt. you know, you smudge your weekends. it just hurts. hurt. you know, you smudge your weekends. itjust hurts. before we go on, there is something i should confess. i am not entirely impartial in this report. i was bornjust a few miles up the road, and i have been a sunderland fan for the whole of my life. this is my uncle: —— uncle colin. has the football this season made you happy? no, the football has been horrible this season. very disappointing, i am really u pset season. very disappointing, i am really upset with it, to tell you the truth. he is not the only one. so does football make us happy or sad? professor peter dalton, who by the way supports newcastle, has been studying football and happiness.

using an app called mappiness, he asked fans to rate how they were feeling out of 100 before, during and after a game. he analysed two million responses from 32,000 people. this is probably the most comprehensive dataset ever collected on happiness. the dataset shows on average, if a team wins, fans are 3.9% happier. the happiness drops to 1.3% and just 1.1% in the second and third hours, and if a team loses, there is a 7.9% drop in happiness in the first hour, which is still 3.1% and 3.2% in the second and third hours. you're twice as unhappy when your team loses as you are happy when your team wins. on average, it makes us sad, and on the face of it, it's a pretty irrational thing to do, to be a football fan. it doesn't make sense. you'd be better off doing something else. back at the stadium of light, sunderland have lost 2—1 and are relegated for the second year in a row.

i'm angry. i've supported this team since 1939, hardly missed two games and i come and watch that idiot. i'm worse than angry. anyhow, all the best. you know he will be back next season because in the end, this is notjust about being angry, happy or sad. come rain or shine, the true fans will be here next season, because if you love your team, you'll come regardless. a few final words of wisdom from uncle colin. you're always hopeful that your team is going to win, and you go with the people that you know, you've got friends that go there, almost like family, they are. and that's what we enjoy. we enjoy the day. so even if on average football makes us sad, there is always identity, family, hope. graham satchell, bbc news, sunderland. there is a fundamental thing in

there. he said why would you do it when it makes you sad? why would you have a team ? when it makes you sad? why would you have a team? i thought we might go down that road. i will review and excerpt from the great sir bobby robson. he says it is the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. it is a small boy clambering up the stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father's hand, gawping at the hallowed stretch of turf, and without being able to say it anything, fully in love. there is that feeling of belonging, and the wonderful thing that brings you, as well. ok. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning: as communications director, jennifer palmieri was at the heart of the 0bama white house, before playing a key role in hillary clinton's unsuccesful presidential bid. now she is hoping to inspire a new generation of female world leaders. she willjoin us after 8:00am. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. so record temperatures for yesterday's london marathon, with over 38,000 runners crossing the finishing line. a group of them were london brigade firefighters who tackled the grenfell fire last year, who raised tens of thousands of pounds for a centre to help children and families affected by the blaze. it was so warm yesterday, that on average every runner drank 4.5 litres of water. but organisers say they will learn lessons, after some water stations ran dry. a chef at one of london's leading restaurants has left herjob to work in a school kitchen in hackney. nicole pisani now prepares lunch for 500 schoolchildren on a budget of less than £1 each a day. food being served up includes sweet potato and spinach dahl, and salmon goujons with pea shoots. pisani says she wants school cooks to see themselves more as school chefs.

i needed to have the same hierarchy. i needed the, like, head chef, sous chef, chef de party role. with the staff, we wanted to skill them. it was really important to me that they would chop, that they would fillet fish, that they would portion fish. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, the northern line has serve delays due to a signal failure at morden. there are severe delays on the circle line because of signal failure at paddington, and that is also affecting the hammersmith & city line. and the bakerloo line has minor delays between queens park and harrow and wealdstone, because of yet another signal failure, this time at willsden junction. 0n the roads, in east london, the a13 has the usual build—up of traffic london—bound from the goresbrook interchange to the lodge avenue flyover. let's have a check on the weather now, with kate. good morning.

well, after an absolutely beautiful weekend of what can be described as summery weather, it is kind of retracting back to spring as we head into this week. it is certainly feeling fresher this morning. the good news is we've still got a bit of sunshine, and it's still saying dry. a clear start this morning, with some blue sky. more cloud feeding in, though, through the course of the day from the west, but it's broken cloud. it's a bit breezier, as well, and that breeze is quite fresh. we're looking at a maximum of 17 celsius, so considerably cooler than yesterday, and indeed the last few days. now, overnight tonight, we'll see more cloud coming in from the west, thick enough to bring some outbreaks of rain. some of those could be heavy, but mostly it'll be light, patchy rain. temperatures between nine and 11 celsius. so a rather damp start as we head into tuesday morning. a fairly cloudy day, further outbreaks of rain through the afternoon. temperatures in the mid—teens, and they're going to stay that way, really, for much of this week. some brighter weather as we head through midweek, with some sunny spells, but the temperatures certainly feeling a lot cooler.

vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london in a couple of minutes, and one of the stories being covered is a buffer zone outside an abortion clinic in ealing, which comes into force about now. it is 100 metres away from the clinic, and no more than four protestors can be behind the barriers. 0ther other restrictions are in place as well. they have reported there at 7:20 a.m.. i will be back in half an hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. a lifeline for children suffering at the hands of alcoholic parents. millions of pounds is to be spent getting faster support and better advice to thousands of youngsters at risk

from heavy drinkers. good morning, it's monday 23rd april. also this morning: no u—turn. downing street insists the uk will leave the customs union after reports of a cabinet revolt. and in sport, mo farah breaks the british record that's stood for 33 years at the hottest london marathon. more water than ever was handed out per competitor, but organisers admit they did run out at certain points on the course. holidaymakers are heading back to turkey, egypt and tunisia this summer after recent terror attacks that deterred travellers. i'll look at what's being done to keep tourists safe. and it's 20 years since she joined breakfast.

quite a transitionary day actually today. more cloud and rain sweeping in from the west and that's going to continue to journey east. that's it from me. in actual fact, if you're heading out anywhere this morning, bit of cloud around, also some showers around too. how is your fake tan, have you sorted it out? and she hasn't changed a bit. carol has the weather. good morning. this morning is a fresher start to the day then it has been, and we are looking at a day of sunshine and showers. lots of the showers will be in the west but it will cloud over later and we will see some rain. it will generally be cooler than last week. i will have more in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. children living with alcohol dependent parents will be offered better access to support under a new joint initiative from the government and the labour party. the health secretary jeremy hunt and his shadow, jon ashworth, are announcing a £6 million fund to support the 200,000 children in england who live in a home with at least one parent who is dependent on alcohol.

simon browning has the details. the number of children needing support because of parental alcohol abuse at home is rising. the nspcc says it has seen a 30% increase in the number of calls about the welfare of children living in alcohol dependent homes, and one child calls every hour asking for help. it impacts on their education, their self—esteem, they have eating disorders often, that's a frequency, and they also have relationship difficulties as well. so it has long—term emotional as well as physical impacts on children. it's an issue that lies close to the heart of labour shadow health secretary, jon ashworth. from the age of eight or so, going to my dad's at the weekend, i was effectively the carer. it would be very typical for my dad to pick me up from school, literally fall over because he was so drunk. it was this powerful statement that led to the start of political opponents joining

force on the issue. this morning, the government, with labour's support, are announcing a package of new measures worth £6 million. it's hoped the money will see faster access to mental health services and better support for children and their families where there's a dependent drinker. but, with an estimated 200,000 children needing support, the government will only fund eight local authorities in england as the project gets underway. simon browning, bbc news. we'll be speaking to both the health secretaryjeremy hunt and his labour shadowjon ashworth in around 10 minutes. because they are working on this together. downing street has reiterated the government's commitment to leaving the customs union after brexit, ahead of a symbolic vote in the commons later this week. if the uk remains part of the customs union, it would be unable to strike trade deals with other countries around the world after leaving the eu. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in westminster this morning.

is it going to be a difficult week for the prime minister? what is going on exactly, because it is not clear. yes, you produce neatly. good morning to you. i am afraid this is one of those days and we have to dive into the tasteless soup of terminology around brexit, this whole idea of a customs union. what is a customs union? this is the mechanism which allows kids to move freely around the eu without tariffs, or import taxes, and with few other checks. —— allows goods. government has committed to leaving the customs union as part of brexit, they argued this would be a proper brexit because it allows the country to make the most of properly leaving the eu, because if you are not in a customs union can go off and strike trade deals around the world. you cannot, if you stay within it. but there have been rumours within parliament saying, hang on, maybe it would these sensible to stay in the customs union given how important our trading relationship is with the

eu. he is in the house of lords said that in a vote last week, and there will be a vote again this week. —— peers in the house of lords. and there is a big crunch vote next month on this issue. the government has been forced to reiterate its long—standing position that it wants to ta ke long—standing position that it wants to take the country out of the long—standing customs union after brexit. 0thers long—standing customs union after brexit. others are making the opposite argument. thank you. a founder of the money saving expert website is suing facebook over claims the site published fake posts using his name and photo. martin lewis launches his case at the high court today. he says he wants the social media giant to change the way it operates. ben ando reports. these are just a few of the 50 or so facebook ads that money saving expert founder martin lewis says nothing to do with him. facebook, he claims, isn't doing enough to stop bogus ads and people who trust his name are being ripped off, so he's suing for defamation and is promising to give any damages to anti—scamming charities. facebook‘s free because of ads.

it's said: i have reported it time and time again over the last year, i put them on notice that i don't do ads, so any advert with my name and face in is fake, stop running them, and it does nothing. it's been a tough few weeks for facebook and its founder, mark zuckerberg, over concerns about its use of personal data. martin lewis is hoping his legal challenge will make facebook face up to issues around misleading ads. ben ando, bbc news. a 70—year—old woman has been named as one of the four britons killed in a coach crash in saudi arabia. raj begum hussain, from blackburn, had been on a pilgrimage from the islamic holy sites of mecca to medina when the coach she was travelling on collided with a fuel tanker.

12 other pasengers were also injured. it is devastating. 0bviously it is devastating. obviously it is going to be more devastating for them, losing part of the family. we send people, we look at them as part of ourfamily as send people, we look at them as part of our family as well, we have been doing it for 20 years, and this is the first time anything like this has happened. it is very distressing. my father flew out this morning, concerning this matter, to go and assist the people and everything. 0ur condolences go out to the families. a court in brussels will deliver its verdict later in a case involving the only surviving suspected member of thejihadi group that carried out the 2015 paris terror attacks. salah abdeslam is accused of attempting to murder police officers in belgium as they attempted to capture him. 0ur europe reporter gavin lee is outside the court for us. good morning, gavin. what are the

charges he is actually facing over the course of the next few weeks and months? yeah, he was once europe's most months? yeah, he was once europe's m ost wa nted months? yeah, he was once europe's most wanted man. he has been imprisoned now for two years in solitary confinement. that case, the paris case, november 2015, when 130 people died in the attacks at the utter clan concert hall, the football stadium, and also some of the restaurants and cafes. —— bata cla n the restaurants and cafes. —— bataclan theatre. that case is expected to come to court in about two years. this case is separate. days before his capture, police here in belgium, in a suburb of brussels, they thought they had found his hideout. they arrived and came under heavily armed fire within minutes. three officers were injured. in the subsequent shootout, of the three people inside, one terror suspect was killed, salah abdeslam escaped across the rooftops, with another man, and both of those men are awaiting a verdict today. the charge

is the attempted murder of police officers in a terrorism context. let me show you the scene here, a fairly heavy police presence here. but as people check, the legal teams and the journalists are coming in, people check, the legal teams and thejournalists are coming in, we know that salah abdeslam will not be arriving in court this morning. he has told his lawyer he does not want to attend. he doesn't have truthful is he faces 20 years imprisonment if he is found guilty, but he is still wa nted he is found guilty, but he is still wanted in connection with and is still being spoken with in connection to the larger trial. he briefly appeared in february when he said this was an anti— muslim court and he would use his silence as his defence. we expect the verdict in the next two hours. gavin, you have shown us the high levels of security than that. that kind of international interest will there be in this case? well, if you step back from this, this is part of a much bigger investigation, notjust salah abdeslam, we do get a sense of his guilt in attempting to kill these police officers, but if you remember, three days after his final arrest, which came in march 2016,

very close to his family home in mullen back —— molenbeek there were attacks at the brussels airport and that the tube station here in the city as well. the authorities believe that was part of the same carousel that was involved in the paris attacks. so this is a very interesting case as part of this wider investigation. gavin, thank you. the french president emmanuel macron says he hopes to persuade president trump not to pull out of the iran nuclear deal. syria and other international concerns are expected to be at the top of the agenda as president macron begins a three—day visit to washington this week. he's the first world leader to be afforded the honour of a full state visit by the trump white house. they say bad luck comes in threes, and for a 20—year—old from the us, that has unfortunately proved true. dylan mcwilliams has been attacked by a bear while camping in colorado, bitten by a rattlesnake while hiking in utah,

and most recently dylan survived a shark attack off the coast of hawaii. my leg, started looking around and saw some blood and then i saw the shark underneath me, started kicking at it and then i started swimming back to shore. the bear attack and the shark attack, it's kind of crazy those things happened to one person. i don't blame the animals for the attacks, i was in the wrong spot at the wrong time. extraordinary. quite fortunate to be here, really. he seemed quite matter of fa ct here, really. he seemed quite matter of fact about it, though. well, he has seen it all before, it has happened three times. returning to our main story this morning. the difficulties facing a child who lives with an alcohol dependent parent are extensive. according to the nspcc, they're more likely to struggle with their education

and self—esteem, as well as finding it difficult to form relationships . this morning, both the government and the labour party are announcing a joint initative to help these children. last year, labour's jon ashworth talked about his childhood and his alcohol—dependent father. gentlemen, thank you very much for your time. thank you to come in and this to discuss this with us. mr hunt, can we start with you? i have the most up—to—date figures from 2017, say that 95 out of 152 councils in england slashed total of £6.5 million from their funds to deal with alcohol abuse as a result of government cuts. so it is this new money, or is it a reshuffling? this is additional money, but that is not to say that there are not real pressures on local authority budgets, and i have a number of concerns about some of those cuts that you have talked about, although the picture is not uniform. some local authorities have actually done a very good job. the real challenge

we have in this situation is actually identifying these vulnerable children, because insurers, a lot of are in situations where their parents are not getting any help from the nhs and we don't actually know where they exist. —— because in truth. so part of this funding is additional funding because in truth. so part of this funding is additionalfunding to because in truth. so part of this funding is additional funding to set up funding is additional funding to set upa funding is additional funding to set up a helpline that will be a bit like childline but will be something that children can contact anonymously. we can find out about their situation and then we can provide earlier access to mental health support and, if we are able to, speedier access to treatment for their parents. john ashcroft, is it enough money to make a difference, to your mind? i pick it is an incredibly welcome announcement. i am delighted to be here withjeremy hunt, and this is an unusual example of cross—party working, if you like. lam not of cross—party working, if you like. i am not going to be churlish about this, this is something i have been calling for, and i'm pleased that

the government have listened to the concerns that i have been raising and the concerns of other mp5 who have spoken out about —— spoken out about their own circumstances. it is about their own circumstances. it is a real breakthrough and a positive first out. of course, there is always more we can do. —— positive first step. we are never going to just settle for that, but i'm not going to criticise the government today. i welcome what they have done. it is going to make a difference to thousands of children who have grown up with an alcoholic parent, asi who have grown up with an alcoholic parent, as i did. yes, you have spoken very honestly and emotionally about this on many occasions. when you are a young lad and you are having to look after, in many ways, your own dad, what would have made the key difference ? your own dad, what would have made the key difference? when i was growing up! the key difference? when i was growing up i thought i was on my own. it was only when i became an aduu own. it was only when i became an adult that i sort of found out there we re lots of adult that i sort of found out there were lots of other people who grew up were lots of other people who grew up in some circumstances. i very much felt alone. i felt that it was my own personal struggle. i also felt very embarrassed, ashamed, i wouldn't have known where to turn. i

felt like i couldn't speak to a teacher at school, or anything like that. so i think knowing that there isa that. so i think knowing that there is a system in place, at telephone line, and broader support mechanisms in place, i think that would have made a huge difference to me, growing up as i did. i always tried to get my dad to confront his drinking. i always tried to talk to him about it. but he refused to engage in it and i never really knew what to do about that. i think it would have made a tremendous difference to my childhood and i believe that the government has announced today will make a difference to many, many children across the country who are living with and suffering with an alcoholic parent. i know you know aboutjohn ashworth‘s story, and many others like it. how many are living with an alcoholic parent in the uk? we think it is about 200,000, but one thing we should recognise is the courage of people like john,

we should recognise is the courage of people likejohn, and mps on all sides of the house. to speak openly about the trauma you have had in your own childhood is a very big deal and i think when they speak out that gives a lot of courage and hope to other people in similar situations, to help them feel that they are not actually suffering alone. and john isn't feeling too great this morning because he did the marathon yesterday, managing to raise eight thousand pounds for this cause, which i think is fantastic. but i think part of this is getting a message out to everyone that actually this is a sadly, surprisingly common occurrence, and the nhs is there for these families. if we want to do more, we need to know about it and we need to make it easierfor people to know about it and we need to make it easier for people to afford. and congratulations, john ashworth, on completing the marathon, especially in those temperatures. i want to ask you another couple of questions, if i could. you another couple of questions, if icould. 0n you another couple of questions, if i could. 0n the front page of the

times, theresa may facing a brexit showdown. is there a compromise over the customs union, is that the next thing that will happen? well, it is ashamed to breached the spirit of friendship and goodwill, butjohn andi friendship and goodwill, butjohn and i may disagree on this particular thing. theresa may's position has been very, very clear. she has said we are not going to be pa rt she has said we are not going to be part of a customs union or any customs union, in that position hasn't changed, and downing street hasn't changed, and downing street has been very clear about that this morning. so that is not the next compromise. correct. and john ashworth, i want to ask you a related question about a referendum. rohan smith calling for a second referendum and shadow chancellor john mcdonnell insisting it is still an option. which is it?” john mcdonnell insisting it is still an option. which is it? i suppose whatjohn mcdonnell is saying is you should never rule anything out for ever. but i think the british people, sadly, in my mind, voted to

leave the european union. and that is what they want us to get on with now. i voted for remain, but we can't turn around to the british people and say you were wrong. the british people made their decision and we have to get on with it. i disagree with jeremy hunt. and we have to get on with it. i disagree withjeremy hunt. i think remaining ina disagree withjeremy hunt. i think remaining in a customs union would be better for the british remaining in a customs union would be betterfor the british economy. the house of lords has voted that way. i think there is probably a majority of members of parliament who believe that so i think when the equivalent vote comes to the house of commons i think theresa may could be in trouble, actually. i don't see how she will get her position through the house of commons on the customs union. but the challenge now is to get the best deal we possibly can, which puts britishjobs and families' posterity first. it is good to have you both on this morning. there is one other thing i wa nted morning. there is one other thing i wanted to mention. 0ver morning. there is one other thing i wanted to mention. over the weekend, social media and the parents of children on social media, was in the news. you are both fathers, and a fellow m p

news. you are both fathers, and a fellow mp was saying he bans all phones, ipad is, anything where people can communicate on social media. how do you deal with your own children and how will you deal with your children as they grow up? jeremy hunt. well, my kids are a little bit young for that, although it is scary how quickly even a three—year—old can find her way around and ipad. they don't have their own devices yet. i think what tobias is saying is a good idea. the trouble with social media is you are not talking to the family around you, and you can be at home, really busily looking at your screens, but you are not talking to each other, which is what family is all about. but what we want from social media companies is a recognition that there are real mental health problems that can be triggered by excessive use of social media, and we need them to work constructively, particularly to stop underage use of social media platforms like

facebook. i mean, they have laser sharp targeting which they do for their advertisers, so they know the age of the people using the platforms. they can do a lot more than they are doing at the moment to help us. so is it a mix of parental control and legislation, do you think? i think there are a couple of things. we are talking about addiction today and social media addiction today and social media addiction is becoming an increasing problem in society. a whole way of swiping down on your phone is designed to make you do it more and more, to see how many more likes you have and how many people have messaged you and your different platforms. so i think you have to think about what support we put in place. maybe that is the next thing ican run place. maybe that is the next thing i can run the marathon four, who knows? but more broadly, i facebook and twitter and all these different companies, they define themselves as tech companies but they are actually publishing companies, in my mind, so there should be responsible for what they are putting on their site, and they are putting on their site, and they should be responsible for the way in which young people and

children are accessing their sites. when you talk about what we do, my kids are very young as well, but i know my six—year—old, when i come back from work, from the house of parliament, she will grab my ipad and start looking at youtube, her favourite cartoons and so on on youtube, so i can see how this is a growing problem. and i think we have to do something about it, yes. and john, we can't let you go without showing pictures of your run yesterday. you join some 40,000 people. and just tell us, how was it? are you recovering, did you get water? i had lots of water, but the heat was absolutely dreadful. it was so hot, it was really tough. it was brutal yesterday. i did it before last year, much more difficult this year. i don't think i will do it again. my legs are killing me, i am in agony. i don't know why i am on the telly first thing in the

morning. they should be in bed! . i am here because i care about the children of alcoholics. and in the spirit, mr hunt, of cross—party corporation, where were you yesterday, mr hunt?” corporation, where were you yesterday, mr hunt? iwas corporation, where were you yesterday, mr hunt? i was watching it on telly! not good enough! and the next question is, when will you run it? i have never run a marathon, sirjohn has shamed me, he has done two. thank you forjoining us, jeremy hunt and john ashworth. and there is more detail on that cross— party there is more detail on that cross—party planned to deal with children of alcoholic parents on our website. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. it was certainly hot yesterday, the hottest london marathon on record. temperatures soared to 24.2dc, and the pollen levels were also high,

just to add insult to injury. today's pollen levels are high across southern england, the midlands, east anglia, moderate across midlands, east anglia, moderate a cross m ost midlands, east anglia, moderate across most of england and wales that i haven't spoken about, and lower in scotland. generally this week it is not as warm as it was yesterday, the top temperature in the uk was 25 in gravesend, and this week it will be cooler and fresher. not cold, just cooler than it has been. sunny spells in blustery showers. that is what we have got today. a fresh start, sunshine and some blustery showers. but quite keen wind in the west. you will notice that and you will also see the weather front coming in later, introducing some rain. so first thing this morning it is a cloudy start, and we have some brightness

in the east. through the day the cloud will build them through the west and we will start to see some showery outbreaks of rain arriving. if you are celebrating st george's day to day, have a good one. this is the kind of forecast you can expect, a range of 11 in the north to 17 in the south. through the evening and overnight weather front continues to age steadily over towards the east, bringing its cloud and rain with it. not particularly heavy rain in the south, but it will be quite a murky start to the day. in between, we are looking at some clearer spells. ten or 11 the overnight lows, other little bit cooler further north, but again we don't anticipate any problems with frost. tomorrow dawns ona problems with frost. tomorrow dawns on a cloudy note anywhere across southern england. a lot of dry weather around still. showers coming across scotland, northern england and northern ireland and then another front, the tail end and northern ireland and then anotherfront, the tail end of it bringing some rain across south—west england, wales, the midlands, in through parts of yorkshire and lincolnshire as well. some of this could be heavy. temperatures at 11 to 16, so the temperatures this week

are generally where they should be at this stage in april. wednesday not a bad day at all for me. we are starting off on a sunny note, the showers coming in through the day from the west, moving towards the east. not all of us will see them but they have the potential to be heavy and thundery, with a bit of hail here and there. temperatures up to the mid— teens. thursday is very similar, actually. a lot of fine weather to start the day. a fair bit of sunshine around and then we have more showers piling in from the west, drifting east. again, some of those will be heavy and potentially thundery, and temperatures very similarto thundery, and temperatures very similar to what we are expecting on wednesday. lovely to have you with us this morning. you know, we have totted it up, we think you have done 17,000 weather forecasts on bbc brea kfast 17,000 weather forecasts on bbc breakfast in your 20 years. wow, thatis breakfast in your 20 years. wow, that is a lot. we remember everyone. it doesn't feel like 20 years. it feels like it has been 20 minutes. it has just feels like it has been 20 minutes. it hasjust gone feels like it has been 20 minutes. it has just gone like that. feels like it has been 20 minutes. it hasjust gone like that.” feels like it has been 20 minutes. it hasjust gone like that. i have a favourite from march 2002, that was a great one, wasn't it? beautiful. i

know you can clearly remember every single forecast, and so can we. there has been sunshine, so, everything. here is yourjourney, carol. what do you do?” carol. what do you do? i do the weather, you buffoon. quite a bit of cloud around, we have also had some showers as well. more cloud than rain sweeping in from the west, and it will continue the journey east. that's it from me. back to you two. the hardest thing about yourjob? getting up every morning at 2:45 a.m.. not quite as hot and humid as it will be in the next few days. and don't look behind you. isn't she the

most perfect little lamb? you are all warm and clammy. yourjob is entirely carol kirkwood fanmail? we we re entirely carol kirkwood fanmail? we were just entirely carol kirkwood fanmail? we werejust commenting entirely carol kirkwood fanmail? we were just commenting on entirely carol kirkwood fanmail? we werejust commenting on how brilliant she is with words, how she never forgets anything, and she forgets my name! it is a wednesday, you are not normally hear on wednesday. it is fine, susan, see you later. we give him a run for his money in his ferrari. ryan adams brya n money in his ferrari. ryan adams bryan ferry? ryan adams! give us the world. gently, gently... iam leaving, remember. and come this way, and come this way, and down we go. way, and come this way, and down we 90- my way, and come this way, and down we go. my back! well done. we have had some lovely messages.

she has one of those soothing scottish birds which can tell you any sort of bad news about the weather but sound almost as comforting as she does —— burrs. both are cold front and a warm welcome. carol has the best smile and loveliest attitude to start the day, rain or shine. and loveliest attitude to start the day, rain orshine. and i know and loveliest attitude to start the day, rain or shine. and i know these are embarrassing, but people love spending time with you. everything about carol is phenomenal, but my favourite thing about her as the smile is contagious. it makes me smile, and brings the sunshine on even the cloud east of days. so thank you very much for 20 years of weather —based magic. and let's look forward to 20 more. steady on! couldn't agree more with everybody‘s sentiments. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. record temperatures

at the london marathon yesterday didn't stop over 38,000 runners finishing the course. a group of them were london brigade firefighters were among them. they tackled the grenfell fire last year, and raised tens of thousands of pounds for a centre to help children and families affected by the blaze. it was so warm yesterday, that on average every runner drank 4.5 litres of water during the race. but organisers say they will learn lessons for next year, because some water stations ran dry. just so you know, the coldest marathon was two years ago, when it wasjust 10 celsius. a chef at one of london's leading restaurants has left herjob to work in a school kitchen in hackney. nicole pisani now prepares lunch for 500 schoolchildren on a budget of less than £1 each a day. food being served up includes sweet potato and spinach dahl, and salmon goujons with pea shoots. pisani says she wants school cooks to see themselves more as school chefs. i needed to have the same hierarchy. i needed the, like, head chef,

sous chef, chef de partie role. with the staff, we wanted to skill them. it was really important for me that they would chop, that they would fillet fish, that they would portion fish. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, the northern line has serve delays due to a signal failure at morden. there are severe delays on the circle line because of signal failure at paddington. and that is also affecting the hammersmith & city line. the bakerloo line has minor delays because of a signal failure at willsden junction. and the district line is part suspended because of a signal failure at ealing common. 0n the roads, the m25 is queueing anti—clockwise from junction 26 for waltham abbey tojunction 24, after a car broke down. let's have a check on the weather now, with kate. good morning. well, after an absolutely beautiful

weekend of what can be described as summery weather, it is kind of retracting back to spring as we head into this week. of retracting back to spring it is certainly feeling fresher this morning. the good news is we've still got a bit of sunshine, and it's still saying dry. a clear start this morning, with some blue sky. more cloud feeding in, though, through the course of the day from the west, but it's broken cloud. it's a bit breezier, as well, and that breeze is quite fresh. we're looking at a maximum of 17 celsius, so considerably cooler than yesterday, and indeed for the last few days. now, overnight tonight, we'll see more cloud coming in from the west, thick enough to produce some outbreaks of rain. some of those could be heavy, but mostly it'll be light, patchy rain. temperatures between nine and 11 celsius. so a rather damp start as we head into tuesday morning. a fairly cloudy day, further outbreaks of rain through the afternoon. temperatures in the mid—teens, and they're going to stay that way, really, for much of this week. some brighter weather as we head through midweek, with some sunny spells, but the temperatures certainly feeling a lot cooler. vanessa feltz is

on bbc radio london, and in about ten minutes' time she is speaking to martin lewis, the founder of money saving expert, who says he's suing facebook for defamation in a ground—breaking lawsuit. he'll explain more about it. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. children living with alcohol dependent parents will be offered better access to support under a new joint initiative from the government and the labour party. the health secretaryjeremy hunt and the labour health shadow minister, jon ashworth, are announcing a £6 million fund to support the 200,000 children in england who live in a home with at least one parent dependent on alcohol. earlier on breakfast, mr ashworth recalled his childhood with his alcoholic father. i always tried to get my dad to confront his drinking. i always tried to talk to him about

it, but he refused to engage in it. i never really knew what to do about that. so i think it would have made a tremendous difference to my childhood. i believe what the government has announced today will make a difference to many, many children across the country who are living with and suffering with an alcoholic parent. downing street has reiterated the government's commitment to leaving the customs union after brexit, ahead of a symbolic vote in the commons later this week. many leading conservative ministers, including borisjohnson and david davis have made the issue a red line in negotiations for leaving the eu. if the uk remains part of the customs union, it would be unable to strike trade deals with other countries around the world. labour wants the uk to join a new customs union. the founder of the money saving expert website is taking facebook to court over claims the site published fake adverts bearing his name, some of which were used to scam people. a facebook spokesperson said the site didn't allow misleading adverts. but martin lewis wants the social media giant to change the way it operates. a 70—year—old woman has been named as one of the four britons killed

in a coach crash in saudi arabia. raj begum hussain, from blackburn, had been on a pilgrimage from the islamic holy sites of mecca to medina when the coach she was travelling on collided with a fuel tanker. 12 other pasengers were also injured. the french president emmanuel macron says he hopes to persuade president trump not to pull out of the iran nuclear deal. syria and other international concerns are expected to be at the top of the agenda as president macron begins a three—day visit to washington this week. he's the first world leader to be afforded the honour of a full state visit by the trump white house. a good weekend if your name is mo?l very great weekend if your name is mo farah. i've been talking about him or morning but have been forgetting to call him sir mo farah. his full title. did he ring up and

complain? no matter how hot it was, he was hotter. he broke the british marathon record yesterday, so congratulations to him, and to everybody who managed to get out there, and even everybody who tried. it was boiling. 24 degrees. the hottest conditions ever experienced on the day. sir mo farah has set a new british marathon record. in the hottest conditions ever experienced on the day, the four—time olympic gold medallist finished third in yesterday's london marathon. it was his first marathon since retiring from the track. he finished in two hours, six minutes and 21 seconds, beating a 33—year—old record. kenyan eliud kipchoge won the race for a third time. more water than ever was handed out per competitor, but organisers admit they did run out at certain points on the course. training's been going well. conditions obviously is a little hard today, hot. but, you know, great support from the crowd, from the people, ijust want to thank everyone who's come out, cheering my name, just being positive, doing the mobot around the corners, squirting drink on me. it was all a laugh, it was all good! kenya's vivian cheruiyot

won the women's race and there was a thrilling sprint finish in the men's wheelchair race. britain's david weir, the 6—time paralympic gold medallist, took it on the line. it was his eighth title. liverpool's mo salah has been named pfa player of the year. the egyptian has scored 41 goals in all competitions in his first season at the club and helped liverpool to the champions league semi finals. chelsea' fran kirby took the womens award. gary lineker was among those to congratulate salah — describing him as a "breath of fresh air" for english football. and liverpool legend ian rush says the award is fully deserved. it will be red versus blue in this year's fa cup final, where chelsea will take on manchester united at wembley. the line up was completed with chelsea beating southampton 2—0 in yesterday's semi—final. 0livier giroud and alvaro morata scored to set up a showdown between chelsea and their former managerjose mourinho next month. arsene wenger‘s fairwell to arsenal

started in perfect fashion with a 4—1win over west ham. arsenal scored three goals in the last ten minutes including two from alexander lacazette. this was the first match since it was announced wenger will leave the club at the end of the season after more than two decades in charge. after the match he expressed disappointment at some fans‘ behaviour. 0urfans, they did not give the image of unity i want at the club all over the world. that was hurtful because i feel the club is respected and, overall, the image we gave from our club is not what it is and not what i like. new premier league champions manchester city celebrated in style with a 5—0 win over swansea. kevin de bruyne was on target with this fantastic strike. it was the first game since city won the title, and many fans invading

the pitch to celebrate with their team. 0ne one final bit of london mouth on using might have missed this morning. i said yes! -- london mouth on news you might have missed. —— marathon. that was roary the dinosaur proposing to his girlfriends. i was impressed that roary carried that ring all the way around. excellent. i need to teach dan how to sneeze silently. that isn't except the ball behaviour. that was me holding it in. —— a cce pta ble

that was me holding it in. —— acceptable behaviour. bless you! the health secretary has written to social media giants like facebook, instagram and google accusing them of turning a blind—eye to the impact their platforms are having on children. the letter led several mps to confess to the lengths they'd gone to keep their children safe online. treasury minister liz truss admitted she locks her 12—year—old daughter's phone away, while defence minister tobias ellwood said he had banned all mobile devices on a recent family holiday. here's whatjeremy hunt had to say when we spoke to him earlier. well, my kids are a little bit young for that, although it is scary how quickly even a three—year—old can find her way around an ipad quickly even a three—year—old can find herway around an ipad in quickly even a three—year—old can find her way around an ipad in my family. but they don't have their own devices yet. actually, i think what tobias is saying is a good idea. the trouble with social media is it means you are not talking to

other people in the family around you. you can all be at home, really busy, looking at screens, and you are not talking to each other, which is what families are all about. dr elizabeth kilbey is a clinical psychologist. shejoins us from our london newsroom. and ella brookbanks is a writer and social media commentator. good morning to both of you, and thank you forjoining us. you've obviously got children as well. what do you do? we have some quite extreme examples, liz truss saying she locks away the mobile phone.” can see that happening, i can see parents going to extreme lengths now. i was thinking this morning, scratching my head, thinking that two years ago i first started talking about social media and children, and it was kind of a stereotypical teenage thing, you know, they are always on their phones. fast forward two years and it has become an incredibly serious issue to the point where governments are writing legislation on the matter. it is notjust a problem that they are always on their phones and always looking down, it is a

problem with self—esteem, with mental health, with addiction. i am sure that the clinical psychologist who will be speaking quite soon will be talking about that as well. yes, we will speak to her in a moment, but the thing parents have to be technologically aware as well? yes. you often speak to parents and they say, i don't really know much about social media, instagram, facebook, but can you be a parent in that position these days? you have to be, parents need to take responsibility for whatever their children are doing. you cannot palm it off to the schools or the nhs or the government. the more legislation thatis government. the more legislation that is written the government has over your children and your family life and that that is not something which personally i think should be promoted. but it has got to the point where parents are really wondering what they can do to get their children away from social media, away from this technology. it isn'tjust teenagers. media, away from this technology. it isn't just teenagers. they write —— there are children from the age of six becoming a ticket to instagram,

facebook, twitter. —— becoming addicted. elizabeth, you have looked at this specifically. tell us what you think about social media, and it is not just you think about social media, and it is notjust social media, is it, it is notjust social media, is it, it is access to the internet, what you think it is doing to children? well, asa think it is doing to children? well, as a psychologist i am really concerned about children's development and the skills they need to prepare them for adolescents and ultimately adult life. —— adolescence. the concern about children these days is that they are always switched on. they connect it, they are relating virtually and digitally with each other and they are missing out on what is going on immediately around them. —— they are connected. it is such a strain, and the kind of social burnout they experience gets in the way of their important about mental stages. do you think it is ok to snoop on your kids? i ask this as a parent.” you think it is ok to snoop on your kids? i ask this as a parent. i can resonate with this idea of modern day parents. i have children myself. and the minute we get involved in

one of their social platforms they say, you are ruining it, this isn't for adults! and they move onto something else. but i think that as parents we need to stay connected to what they are doing because they do not have the same self—regulation or problem—solving skills that we have as adults. so when the get in trouble on social media, which invariably they do on some level, we do need to be there to step in there to help. do you agree with that about snooping, that of —— that perhaps you should be watching?- about snooping, that of —— that perhaps you should be watching? to a certain level. i think age is a factor, when your children are six, seven, eight, nine, maybe up to about 12 or 13, seven, eight, nine, maybe up to about 12 or13, i seven, eight, nine, maybe up to about 12 or 13, i think you need to ta ke about 12 or 13, i think you need to take an active interest in what they are talking about and who they are talking to online. you certainly don't want them talking to a 52—year—old man or woman in a different country who is pretending to be somebody else. but you also have to let them have independence. you have to let them have that grasp on reality where they have to make their own mistakes, they have to

find out for themselves how difficult life can be, notjust on social media, notjust on difficult life can be, notjust on social media, not just on the internet. it affects the education, it affects their relationships, it affects family time. they have to get that difference for themselves, they have to be able to differentiate, how am by going to balance my time? it is a tricky situation. the problem for the current generation, you can make a mistake these days on social media and it can never be forgotten because it is always there. exactly, when i was a girl, not so long ago, it wasn't online. one last point, elizabeth, we heard jeremy hunt talking about it, what can the government do? can legislation solve things and help things?” government do? can legislation solve things and help things? i think legislation is a way of sending a message to parents about some ideas and values they might want to put into place themselves. it is really difficult to legislate at a family level. bringing it into the public consciousness, helping parents to understand that there are some guidelines they can adhere to would

really help families on a day—to—day basis as they think about how to best manage this idea. thank you. to talk to you both. thank you. some handy practical advice there as well. we are celebrating 20 years of carol 0n breakfast today. she has been around from on—time and is still the best in the business. —— around for a long time. well, this week ahead, you can expect cooler and fresher than last week. in london, it peaked at 29.2 celsius last week, and that is now a thing of the past. sunny spells in blustery showers, and if you are just stepping out, worth mentioning the pollen levels. higher across southern england, east anglia and the midlands, moderate across much of the rest of the uk, in northern scotla nd of the rest of the uk, in northern scotland they are low. today we have a set of weather fronts coming in from the west. the wind has changed

toa from the west. the wind has changed to a westerly, and quite a brisk westerly at that. you will notice it in western areas and it is bringing in some showers, as we currently have. towards the east, dry and bright but through the day as our weather fronts arrived you will find the cloud will continue to build and we will start to seek some showery outbreaks of rain. temperatures where they should be in april. 11 in the north to 15 in the south. a little bit above in london, where we are looking at 17. through the evening and overnight this set of france continues to drift towards the east. you can see this part came down here, i will talk about that in the second. but we will see some rain anywhere from the wash towards the south—west of england, the isles of scilly, and points out. some showers in the north, in between one would two breaks in the cloud, some clearer skies. but it will not be a cold night, we are not anticipating problems with frost. tomorrow we start off with this cloudy day. one

or two showers in western scotland getting going through the day, the same in northern ireland. in this area of cloud is bringing in some rain across parts of south—west england, wales, the midlands, in through yorkshire and lincolnshire, and some of that to be heavy. temperatures again a low of nine to a high of16 temperatures again a low of nine to a high of 16 in london. by the time we get to wednesday, a lot of dry weather around. a fair bit of sunshine to start the day, but still those hefty showers coming in from the west will be drifting eastwards as we go through the day. again a breezy day ahead and some of the showers could be heavy and thundery with some hail. temperatures in the showers could come down a touch but generally we are looking at where they should be to the stage in april. thursday very similar to wednesday in that we will start off other dry and sunny note that the showers in the west will get going and start to migrate towards the east through the day. but they are showers so not all of us will see them. again there will be some thunder and lightning and some hail

as well. as we had through friday in the saturday and the weekend, it looks like some of us will see some frost, or especially so in scotland. so quite a contrast to the last week. do you know you are on pointless over the weekend? no. it was a bbc breakfast presenter worn in scotland. and you were very low as well, because no one knew the town you were from. in case you're wondering, it is roughly about there. and i have been to visit, and it is very beautiful, absolutely stunning. thank you very much, see you later. and thank you for your m essa g es you later. and thank you for your messages and comments about carol. holidaymakers are heading back to turkey, egypt and tunisia this summer, after recent terror attacks that deterred travellers. ben is looking at what is being done to keep tourists safe. thomas cook has been looking at this year's holiday hotspots.

it says spain, greece, turkey, the usa and the caribbean are the top choices this summer. and more of us are heading back to places badly hit by recent terror attacks, particularly sharm el sheikh in egypt and sousse in tunisia. bookings to egypt are up nearly 90%, after hotels and resorts cut prices to win back tourists. and, while the traditional package holiday has been in decline recently, there has been a big increase in all—inclusive holidays. bookings for those are up two thirds for this summer. let's unpick some of these trends. richard singer is ceo of the travel comparison website icelolly.com. let's look at some of those numbers. it isa let's look at some of those numbers. it is a big change, because we heard a lot about that big decline in places hit by terror attacks. people

started to go to spain again because they were closer and safer. why the big return our? i think british holidaymakers have had a number of things to deal with. the devaluation of the pound against the euro, numerous terrorist attacks on some of those areas that you have mentioned today, and that has ultimately created a lot of demand into places like spain and italy and portugal, greece, and ultimately to the detriment of, you know, big holiday hotspots like turkey and north africa. so to see those areas recovering is really good news for travel companies, it is good news for the people whose economy and jobs depend on that tourism, and ultimately it is good for the uk holidaymaker, because what we have seen holidaymaker, because what we have seen is a real spate of good value holidays with good products coming back into those areas. we have definitely seen a recovery in that. as you say, good news for those companies that rely on it, the hotels, the taxis, the restaurants.

are they safe, as especially egypt and tunisia? it is difficult to say anywhere is 100% safe. we note even within this country there are some major cities being affected by it, however, the foreign office has travel advice that will dictate whether somewhere is safe or not. of all those areas, sharm el sheikh airport is not available to travel to, but sharm el sheikh itself is safe to visit. and sousse is now deemed safe, with thomas cook offering 11 flights to that area. and turkey has never been on the banned list, so to speak, but because of military coups, uncertainty and terrorist attacks and proximity to syria, people have been very anxious about going there.

but you have to keep it in context. the resorts of anna talia is the same distance to the syrian border as london to prague. —— anatolia. it is as safe as they can possibly guarantee. and we talk about the package holiday being dead, but a p pa re ntly package holiday being dead, but apparently it is back. package holidays have been on the increase, up holidays have been on the increase, ‘7 holidays have been on the increase, up 8% last year in the previous year, and again people want to feel protected when they go on holiday. with the package holiday you get the bonding that those companies have. there have also been some quite high—profile failures, some big operators like monarch, and people wa nt to operators like monarch, and people want to feel reassured that money is safe, and in line with that we are seeing all—inclusive holidays on the increase, where people have a fixed budget and can go and enjoy the holiday knowing that that is the amount of money they are going to

spend. it is good to talk to you, got me in the mood to try and sort out my summer holiday. have you guys got anything but? still not sorted it out either. five weeks in russia. good luck with that. it is the world cup, of course. all football fans know that the game plays with our emotions, whether it is the joy of a last—minute winner, the anger at a diving opposition player, or the bitter sting of relegation. but, according to researchers at the university of sussex, football is making us miserable, with the pain of defeat felt twice as hard as the joy felt when our team wins. of course, some supporters have more reason to be miserable than others, and with this in mind, we sent sunderland fan graham satchell to see his team take on burton. go to sunderland, they said, ask the fans if they're happy. there is a report out about whether football makes fans happy. not at the present time. you can understand sunderland fans being miserable.

two home wins in the last 14 months — it's not great. i'm not going to lie, it's not great. i am so disappointed. oh dear, oh dear. in the supporters' association shop, we met george forster. he has just won championship fan of the season. does football in sunderland make you happy? no, not really. not when we're in the position we're in, because people hurt. you know, you smudge your weekends. it just hurts. before we go on, there is something i should confess. i am not entirely impartial in this report. i was born just a few miles up the road, and i've been a sunderland fan for the whole of my life. this is my uncle colin. so does football make us happy or sad? has the football this season made you happy? no, the football has been horrible this season.

very disappointing. i'm really upset with it, to tell you the truth. he is not the only one. so does football make us happy or sad? professor peter dalton, who by the way supports newcastle, has been studying football and happiness. using an app called mappiness, he asked fans to rate how they were feeling out of 100 before, during and after a game. he analysed 2 million responses from 32,000 people. this is probably the most comprehensive dataset ever collected on happiness. the dataset shows on average, if a team wins, fans are 3.9% happier. the happiness drops to 1.3% and just 1.1% in the second and third hours. and if a team loses, there is a 7.9% drop in happiness in the first hour, which is still 3.1% and 3.2% in the second and third hours. you're twice as unhappy when your team loses as you are happy when your team wins.

on average, it makes us sad, and on the face of it, it's a pretty irrational thing to do, to be a football fan. it doesn't make sense. you'd be better off doing something else. back at the stadium of light, sunderland have lost 2—1, and are relegated for the second year in a row. i'm angry. i've supported this team since 1939, hardly missed two games, and i come and watch that idiot. i'm worse than angry. anyhow, all the best. you know he will be back next season, because in the end, this is notjust about being angry, happy or sad. come rain or shine, the true fans will be here next season, because if you love your team, you'll come regardless. a few final words of wisdom from uncle colin. you're always hopeful that your team is going to win, and you go with the people that you know, you've got friends that go there, almost like family they are. and that's what we enjoy. we enjoy the day. so, even if on average football makes us sad,

there is always identity, family, hope. graham satchell, bbc news, sunderland. what a weekend for graham. we all know it makes him miserable, but more miserable than happy. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. there will be some sore bodies this morning after over 38,000 people completed the london marathon yesterday, in record temperatures. among them were london brigade firefighters who tackled the grenfell tower fire last year. they raised tens of thousands of pounds for a centre to help children and families affected by the blaze. marathon organisers say they will learn lessons for next year, after some water stations ran out of water. a chef at one of london's leading restaurants has left herjob to work

in a school kitchen in hackney. nicole pisani now prepares lunch for 500 schoolchildren on a budget of less than £1 each a day. food being served up includes sweet potato and spinach dahl, and salmon goujons with pea shoots. pisani says she wants school cooks to see themselves more as school chefs. i needed to have the same hierarchy. i needed the, like, head chef, sous chef, chef de partie role. with the staff, we wanted to skill them. it was really important for me that they would chop, that they would fillet fish, that they would portion fish. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, the northern line has severe delays due to a signal failure at morden. there are severe delays on the circle line because of signal failure at paddington, and that is also affecting the hammersmith & city line. and the district line has severe delays because of a signal failure at ealing common, and that same signal failure has led to severe delays on the picaddilly line, too.

the ba kerloo line, at least, has cleared up. 0n the roads, the m25 is queueing anti—clockwise from junction 26 for waltham abbey to junction 24, after a car broke down. let's have a check on the weather now, with kate. good morning. well, after an absolutely beautiful weekend of what can be described as summery weather, it is kind of retracting back to spring as we head into this week. it is certainly feeling fresher this morning. the good news is we've still got a bit of sunshine, and it's still saying dry. a clear start this morning, with some blue sky. more cloud feeding in, though, through the course of the day from the west, but it's broken cloud. it's a bit breezier, as well, and that breeze is quite fresh. we're looking at a maximum of 17 celsius, so considerably cooler than yesterday, and indeed for the last few days. now, overnight tonight, we'll see more cloud coming in from the west, thick enough to produce some outbreaks of rain. some of those could be heavy,

but mostly it'll be light, patchy rain. minimum temperature between nine and 11 celsius. so a rather damp start as we head into tuesday morning. a fairly cloudy day, further outbreaks of rain through the afternoon. temperatures in the mid—teens, and they're going to stay that way, really, for much of this week. some brighter weather as we head through midweek, with some sunny spells, but the temperatures certainly feeling a lot cooler. the president of the national black police association is on bbc radio london in about ten minutes' time, talking about the impact of stephen lawrence's death, 25 years on. stephen was murdered at a bus stop in south—east london for being black. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. a lifeline for children suffering at the hands of alcoholic parents. millions of pounds is to be spent getting faster support and better advice to thousands of youngsters at risk from heavy drinkers. good morning, it's

monday 23rd april. also this morning. no u—turn. downing street insists the uk will leave the customs union after reports of a cabinet revolt. the founder of money saving expert, martin lewis, sues facebook for failing to remove fake adverts bearing his name. i'll have more in a moment. and in sport, mo farah breaks the british record that's stood for 33 years at the hottest london marathon. more water thean ever was handed out per competitor, but organisers admit they did run out at certain points on the course. she was hillary clinton's right hand woman and worked at the heart of 0bama's white house. jennifer palmieri will tell us her advice for women who want to make it all the way

to the top. and it's 20 years since she joined breakfast. quite transitionary day—to—day. quite transitionary day-to-day. war cloud and rain sweeping in from the west, journeying east. how is your fa ke west, journeying east. how is your fake tan, have you sorted it out? good morning, a fresh start in the east, showers coming in on a brisk westerly wind, this week generally showery, sunshine, feeling cooler than last week. i'll have more in 15 minutes. we will see you in 15 minutes. we will see you in 15 minutes. thank you, carol. first, our main story. children living with alcohol dependent parents will be offered better access to support under a new joint initiative from the government and the labour party. the health secretaryjeremy hunt and the labour health shadow

minister, jon ashworth, are announcing a £6 million fund to support the 200,000 children in england who live in a home with at least one parent dependent on alcohol. they spoke to us earlier on breakfast. i always tried to get my dad to confront his drinking and talk to him about it but he refused to engage in it and i never really knew what to do about that. i think it would have made a tremendous difference to my childhood and i believe what the government has announced today will make a difference to many, many children across the country who are living with and suffering with an alcoholic parent. one thing i think we should recognise is the tremendous courage of people like john, recognise is the tremendous courage of people likejohn, liam byrne, caroline flint, george freeman, to speak openly about a trauma you have had in your own childhood is a very big deal and i think when they speak out that gives a lot of courage and hope to other people in similar

situations to help them feel they are not actually suffering alone and john isn't leading to great this morning because he did marathon the yesterday in the searing heat and managed to raise £8,000 for the cause which i think is fantastic. they were speaking together at westminster about an hour ago. we can go back there now. downing street has reiterated the government's commitment to leaving the customs union after brexit, ahead of a symbolic vote in the commons later this week. if the uk remains part of the customs union, it would be unable to strike trade deals with other countries around the world after leaving the eu. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in westminster this morning. the prime minister has talked about this before, she is going to have to continue, isn't she? yes, plunging into the taste is terminology of brea ks into the taste is terminology of breaks at this morning, the whole idea of the customs union, it's the mechanism for alarming goods to be traded freely around the european union without extra tariffs imposed

on them, very few checks imposed on them as well. but as you say, it means if you are in the customs union you cannot go off around the world and have your own trade deals and those who advocate brexit say that's one of the fundamental advantages of leaving the eu, it's not a proper brexit unless you leave the customs union. the government last night said we are getting definitely going to lead the customs union, reiterating the position they held yesterday morning and a week last wednesday, why? they are coming under pressure to change and that's becoming the battle on brexit in the coming weeks. chris, thank you. the founder of the money saving expert website is taking facebook to court over claims the site published fake adverts bearing his name, some of which were used to scam people. a facebook spokesperson said the site didn't allow misleading adverts. but martin lewis wants the social media giant to change the way it operates. a 70—year—old woman has been named as one of the four britons killed in a coach crash in saudi arabia.

raj begum hussain, from blackburn, had been on a pilgrimage from the islamic holy sites of mecca to medina when the coach she was travelling on collided with a fuel tanker. 12 other passengers were also injured. a court in brussels will deliver its verdict later, in a case involving the only surviving suspected member of the jihadi group that carried out the 2015 paris terror attacks. salah abdelslam is accused of attempting to murder police officers in belgium as they attempted to capture him. 0ur europe reporter gavin lee is outside the court for us. you were saying earlier he's not expect to be there today? he's refused to attend according to his lawyer, the court case has just started, we are waiting on a verdict any time now, he's in prison, solitary confinement outside paris, he's been the word two years,

awaiting trial for the main case involving those 130 people killed in the paris attacks in november 2015, hundreds more injured, the sole surviving suspect, security quite tight throughout the morning, aren't police officers and soldiers, water cannon here because of the significance of this case, this is about four months after the attacks, police believe they found the hideout for he was hiding, they went toa hideout for he was hiding, they went to a brussels suburb, him under sustained arms buyer, three men inside, three police officers injured, one terror suspect killed in the shoot out. the alleged perpetrator fled along with another man, they are both facing a charge of attempted murder with a terrorist context of attempted murder with a terrorist co ntext a nd of attempted murder with a terrorist context and face 20 years in prison if found guilty and we are expecting their verdict soon. gavin, thank you. gavin outside the court for us today. it is eight minutes past eight. whatever your poitical leanings, all sides agree that the 2016 us

election campaign was one of the most bitter of modern times. donald trump and hillary clinton's race for the white house was filled with explosive rhetoric and plagued by claims of russian interference and an fbi investigation. but what was it like to work on the campaign? in a moment we'll speak to jennifer palmieri — hillary clinton's former director of communications — but first let's remind ourselves of some of the key moments. she doesn't have the look, she doesn't have the stamina. this is a man who has called women pics, slobs and dogs. i don't know putin, he said nice things about me, if we got along well but would be good. that's because he'd rather have a puppet. you are either puppet. it's pretty clear it you want to admit the russians have engaged in cyber attacks with the united states of

america. it's great that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. because you'd be injail. donald trump is the 43rd president of the united states.” donald trump is the 43rd president of the united states. i feel pride and gratitude for this wonderful campaign that we build together. we know what happened, now we will get a real insight into what was happening backstage. jennifer palmieri — hillary clinton's former director of communications joins us now. i feel bad taking you back to this moment, you describe the day after when you knew that you had lost and you were devastated am probably an understatement. explain to us, you will go but the morning...” understatement. explain to us, you will go but the morning... i walk up

in new york, slept for about a couple of hours and it felt as if i described it in the book is the scene in the movie that you never see, you don't use the bombjust in time but the world explodes. and i think a lot of people particularly in the states felt that way about that day and i want people to recognise that you weren't the only ones who felt you had woken up in a different world and i think that it's not as if i didn't understand it's not as if i didn't understand it was possible we could lose. 0ur polling showed that but i felt the harder it got the uglier trump got it seemed like there was a karmic insurance. and then he won. and it's interesting, in america, women had to decide either i feel devastated in this moment or i feel empowered andi in this moment or i feel empowered and i am going to change my life because this shows women have a lot of work to do to reach equality and that's why i wrote the book, because

women in america, a lot of them chose the path to feel empowered. how long did it take you to get over the defeat, do you think hillary clinton will ever get over it? there's two parts to that, one is that we failed america, so we failed that we failed america, so we failed that guy, barack 0bama, we were going to win. donald trump is president of the united states, that is something you have to live with everyday, it's really hard, then there is the personal sense of loss and for me, i've always turned right away to vote can we do now, to make things better? and as devastating as it is that trump one, a lot of people in the country particularly women are reacting to this moment, we have more women running for office than ever before, record numbers, we had the movements metoo

running, women speaking out in ways they haven't before. your book is like a letter to a female president, what do you think, you talk about it, it went wrong, you talk about perhaps fighting this in a particular way that turned out to be the wrong way to do it. we actually set out to prove it didn't matter that italy clinton was a woman and i didn't think it was that big of a deal, i thought it would be hard to elect a woman or bad it really mattered so much and what i've realised that what we had done was turn her into a female facsimile of the qualities that we look for in a male president and i thought that was it the plunge when i realised that, i thought that was robbing her ofa that, i thought that was robbing her of a lot of the person she is, people says she seemed in centre, there's something about her i don't like, step back and look at it from the scope of american history for a

woman to be in charge is deliberately radical thing, you had female prime minister is in this country but in america i think there's an extra hurdle the election happens at the national level, we have 300 million people voting, in your parliamentary system for new or selected members of your party it's a small number of people woman to have to convince to support them, i think that's an easy thing.” have to convince to support them, i think that's an easy thing. i know you have alluded to this, donald trumps team did a really good job... they did. it's remarkable because they had a very narrow path to win to get enough electoral votes to win and they like, they shot the gap, they just nailed that and they like, they shot the gap, theyjust nailed that exactly right. and it is, is a devastating thing for me, i really didn't think someone for me, i really didn't think someone like that who i consider to bea someone like that who i consider to be a racist and a misogynist can win

in america and he has but americans, the majority of americans still don't support, they did not vote for him, people are reacting... he tapped into something, didn't he? yes, yes, he really did, our country needed a reckoning and it seems to be happening in other parts of the world to, we have a lot of change, a lot of economic change, demographic changes and there's been extraordinary frustration across—the—board extraordinary frustration across—the—boa rd and that extraordinary frustration across—the—board and that came rallying to the service and i think one thing i would say that our campaign should have done more and was hard to do because there was so much anger, you got to listen to everybody, top to all voters, make sure every boulder knows if you are running for president you hear them and you think they have a part, we have a place in our country. your book isn't the only one making waves in the moment. what do you think about the book from james comey?” wrote a piece in the states yesterday about his book and i don't

harbour a lot of ill will towards him,i harbour a lot of ill will towards him, i don't think you took the action that he did because he wanted to her to be clinton but i think it did hurt her, the e—mail investigation and when he came out with the letter at the end of the campaigni with the letter at the end of the campaign i really think that cost her the election. we should have beenin her the election. we should have been ina her the election. we should have been in a stronger position, if our campaign was in a strong position could have written at all but i do think we were positioned to win and then his labour cost is the election. i don't think he was really trying to hurt but i think he thought he's overstepped his role acting in ways the fbi director has never done before in the states and it is another thing we need to consider, for me, i think donald trump is disruption, to american politics to prove it's broken and what's exciting is that you see a lot of women, people are grassroots level, running for office that have

never done it before, saying we are going to revitalise democracy. we have a picture of you with barack 0bama, wasn't one of the last things he said to you before you got the result, you got this. that was a rally in philadelphia the night before the election and he is saying to me do not mess this up. monday night and to me do not mess this up. monday nightandi to me do not mess this up. monday night and i was like we got it, we really felt that we had, you didn't think it was possible. there's a picture here are a few talking to hillary clinton. i'm sure you've heard all sorts of things said that you can't disclose but what is happening here? said that you can't disclose but what is happening here7m said that you can't disclose but what is happening here? it looks very serious but actually we are discussing milkshake orders because we had stopped at cannes ice cream place and for ordering milkshakes. hillary was going through the orders. that's a very strange milkshake orderface

orders. that's a very strange milkshake order face and! you want to get those orders right! you've got a message for young women in the book about how becoming leaders and trying to encourage them to become leaders. it's a long question or a nswer leaders. it's a long question or answer but how would you do that? the most important thing i want young women to know in particular is speak up, your voice matters. when i worked for president 0bama at the end of every meeting if you hadn't spoken he would make sure he asked you what you thought. usually it was women who had spoken. it's the people that don't look like everyone else in the room who has the most inside. if you're the youngest person in the rent you probably have more insight, if you're the oldest person in the room. if you're one of the emmy—winning, your voice matters more. what i learned is the power, people take their cue from you. that's the advice i got. meaning if you act like you belong in the room,

people think you do. i'm here to tell you that your opinion matters. no one looks at the world today and things we have all the answers, we need the perspective of everyone and young women can often help —— hold themselves back. do not do that, we need to hear your voice. thank you from being here. jennifer palmieri's book is called dear madam president: an open letter to the women who will run the world. we've spoken to another very powerful woman this morning, carol kirkwood who's been on bbc breakfast for 20 years. good morning. i started when i was five in case you were wondering! yesterday's london marathon was the hottest on record. and the pollen levels were also high. today again the pollen levels are high across southern

england, the midlands, east anglia and moderate across much of the uk and moderate across much of the uk and elsewhere. as we go through this week it's not going to be as warm as last week. it's going to be cooler and fresher. you'll notice that this morning. we've got sunshine and showers on the cards. quite a westerly wind, very brisk. a set of fronts coming in bringing some showery outbreaks. if you're celebrating st george's day, have a good day. we'll have dry weather but showers in the west will move east. here is our weather front coming showers in the west will move east. here is our weatherfront coming in. this cloud will affect us later. temperature wise we are roughly where we should be in april between 11 and 15 but 17 in london. through the evening and overnight our weather front continues to push from the west at the east. see the tail end of it bringing some rain across

east anglia, parts of the midlands into southern counties. we'll still have those showers in the north. it's not going to be particularly cold, we aren't anticipating any issues with frost. tomorrow, here is the tail end of our front. that is bringing in some rain. we think this is where it's going to be as it waves a cross is where it's going to be as it waves across wales, into the midlands, yorkshire and lincolnshire. also south—west england. meanwhile for scotland, northern england and northern ireland, you've got some showers. some of them will be heavy but not all of us will see them. by the time we get to wednesday, not a bad day to start with. dry weather with sunshine as well. showers coming in from the west, some of those heavy and thundery with some hail. temperatures in the north 8—9, maybe ten. in the south we are looking at

up ten. in the south we are looking at up to 15. thursday is very similar to wednesday in that we start on a dry note. a fair bit of sunshine and then the showers in the west getting going. they will move steadily eastwards through the day. some of those heavy and thundery. as we move towards the weekend, some of us are going to see some frost especially in scotland. carol was telling us earlier it was the hottest london marathon on record at the weekend. a record number of runners took to the streets of the capital yesterday to take part in the hottest london marathon on record. temperatures peaked at 24c close to the finish line, where sir mo farah finished third in a british record time. let's have a look back at some of the highlights. music. commentator: and experience what surely is the world's greatest marathon. we're expecting a record number of starters, and we hope a record number of finishers, as well.

i want to thank everyone who's come out, cheering my name, just being positive, doing the mobot in the corner, squirting their drink on me. it was all good. look what the marathon can do to an athlete of her calibre. there's going to be a lot of people suffering today. this is made by the kids on the green, it was made by the kids of grenfell. it's filled with messages of support for us and memories of their friends they lost in the fire, so it's a real honour to be carrying that with us today. commentator: massive personal best. he's exhausted. for mo, i think that's more than job done. mo farah taking a bit of a lie down,
