hello, this is breakfast, with katherine downes and ben thompson. calls for an investigation into the proposed merger of two of the uk's largest supermarkets. the tie up between sainsbury‘s and asda could lead to the biggest shake—up of the grocery market in decades. good morning, it's sunday 29th april. also this morning... south korea says kimjong—un has promised to close north korea's nuclear test site next month — and has invited the world to watch. there's continued pressure on the government over the windrush generation — more than 200 mps call for assurances about citizenship to be written into law. or more than 200 mps call for assurances — and we'll meet the 13—year—old boy hitting the next and we'll meet the 13 vervczold!

ql! f zeffezagaé'g‘a‘z' a little earierfrom seoul. cautious optimism is a word used in this peninsula a lot, let's take the optimism, this is a huge step, allowing us and south korean experts m, allowing us and south korean experts in, the media in, this is a state that has been closed for some time and he's going to allow these

experts to see the dismantling of this nuclear test site. that is the good news. but when it comes to the course in part, this is what he is allowing the media and experts to see, will he allow them to see other sites that he perhaps has across north korea? sites that he perhaps has across north korea 7 what sites that he perhaps has across north korea? what other steps is he willing to take how much of his nuclear arsenal is he willing to dismantle? although this is a step forward there are several more to go. at the other thing i think here in seoul, but they are welcoming and talking about is this time change, in 2015 kimjong—un talking about is this time change, in 2015 kim jong—un decided to change the time in north korea 30 minutes behind the south and now as a signal, he looked at the clocks on the wall of the peace house and did his heart to see the two time zones, this is his way of saying, let's unify the time zone is first and then look to see what we can do further together as to create one career. it's been claimed thousands

of russian twitter accounts could have been used to rally support for labour, before last year's general election. an investigation by the sunday times and swansea university identified six—and—a—half thousand russian accounts many of which were internet "bots" which tweeted supportive messages for labour. the culture secretary, matt hancock, has described it as "extremely concerning". more than 200 mps have written to theresa may calling for assurances given to the windrush generation about their citizenship rights to be written into law. the letter, co—ordinated by the labour mp david lammy, said concerns over compensation, housing and legal rights had not been settled. the home office said that home secretary amber rudd would speak in the commons on monday. peter saull is our political correspondent. he's in our london newsroom. good morning, peter. i know you have a copy of the letter but what does it say? essentially these are 200 mps, mainly labour, accusing the

government of making up policy on the hoof, they want some of the measures announced by the home secretary to deal with the wind rushed scandal to be backed by legislation, firstly, more detail on the compensation that will be available and also how they can get the papers that they need desperately so that they can prove their british citizenship. there's been another letter sent to the prime minister about this today from the shadow home secretary diane abbott, who is calling for an investigation into whether amber rudd wrote the ministerial code. the government says they don't believe there is grounds for an investigation over claims that amber rudd misled parliament because she was not aware or rudd misled parliament because she was not aware 01’ she rudd misled parliament because she was not aware or she did not read a memo last year which told of deportation targets. so the windrush scandal which is rumbling on, there are further interventions in some of the papers this morning, the labour mayor of london siddique can't fix

ofa mayor of london siddique can't fix of a hostile environment for immigrants in towns and cities up and down the country and the secretary sergei jared payne the telegraph this morning says this could have been me, he is of migrant stock himself and he calls on voters to look at the government record in tackling the issue over the past few yea rs. tackling the issue over the past few years. —— sadiq khan. amber rudd will return to the commons tomorrow to explain herself but at the moment her position looks safe with collea g u es her position looks safe with colleagues rallying around her. members of the un security council have travelled to bangladesh to visit refugee camps in cox's bazaar. the area is home to nearly 700,000 rohingya muslims fleeing violence in neighbouring myanmar. 0ur correspondent nick beake is in yangon, where officials are expected to meet with myanmar leader aung san suu kyi tomorrow. what can we expect from this visit? it's significant that you have got

leading members of the international community here. they joined leading members of the international community here. theyjoined together ina sense, community here. theyjoined together in a sense, the likes of china and russia joining with western power is saying the situation in this part of the world now with the rohingya crisis is so great it effectively poses a risk to the stability and security of this part of southeast asia. in terms of what it will achieve, its hard to tell, we know they are having talks tomorrow with aung san suu kyi, who has been under criticism of her inability to speak out against the bronies military, and they are trying to tread a curve line, they don't want to alienate the bronies so far that they don't let un agencies and also one of the human rights organisations in two key areas for persecution has taken place. they want the bernie authorities on board for the sake of 700,000 range of people stuck in the

camps in coxes bazaar in bangladesh as monsoon season arrives but they are concerned about the 450,000 people, the ranger, who is still in affected areas. in terms of what the bernese leader will say, we're not sure what the response will be to the conversation she has had, but the conversation she has had, but the security council decides is down to an internal discussion, if for example china and russia tried to water down condemnation of my mr, but will mean the voice is weakened somewhat but we will hear more from the security council later today. thank you. tributes have been paid to alfie evans, the toddler at the centre of a long—running legal battle over his care, who died yesterday. hundreds of his supporters released balloons alongside his parents in memory to the 23—month—old who died almost a week after life

support was withdrawn. he'd been treated for a degenerative neurological condition in liverpool's alder hey hospital since 2016. there's fresh hope for the survival of an endangered animalfound in a small part of australia. more than 80 percent of tasmanian devils have been killed off by a contagious facial cancer. but scientists have now discovered a small but healthy population of the animals in the remote south west area of tasmania. it's hoped this new family group will help save future generations of the marsupial. they've got quite a turn of speed on them. i love that all the pictures we have are slowed down. you get one second. sharp teeth as well. it is ten minutes past eight, you are watching bbc breakfast. the world's biggest refugee camp, home to hundreds of thousands of displaced rohingya muslims,

will be visited by members of the united nations security council this weekend. senior diplomats have travelled to the cox's bazaar region of bangladesh where the majority of refugees have settled. on monday they will meet with myanmar leader aung san suu kyi, to discuss the crisis. now we can speak to firas al—khateeb from the united nations high commissioner for refugees. he has been working in one of the refugee camps in bangladesh. thank you so much for speaking to us, we can see from the pictures the scale of the place, we are told that has a population the size of glasgow but squeezed into an area 15 times smaller than the city, you have been working with refugees in the camps, give us an idea what conditions are like that. good morning to you and your viewers yes, the conditions are very congested, imagine 700,000

people plus living in an area which is not more than 32 square kilometres, it can be difficult. the shelters are made from metal and plastic sheets, it can get very hot. they need a lot of help, they need a lot of humanitarian assistance and this is what we are hoping this security council mission will bring. they are seeing first—hand the conditions, they raise awareness and help with funding and hopefully can bring a peaceful and political solution to this crisis. we understand as well conditions in the camp could be about to get worse because monsoon season is approaching, what are the risks for people when the rains come? yes, u nfortu nately all people when the rains come? yes, unfortunately all the areas we have been given to establish these shelters and camps and settlements are all hilly and they are very

susceptible to landslides and floods and as you know, the monsoon season here can get very rainy and meters of rain fall. you were saying in your first answer that you are hoping the arrival of the un security council will at least kick—start some form of process that will bring peace and stop the displacement of people. you think thatis displacement of people. you think that is a realistic hope because it is an enormous ascot, isn't it? well, the refugees started coming to bangladesh last august and september. some of them over 250,000, have been here from 87, there were previous influxes in 87, 92, 2014, we spoke to refugees who

became refugees three times. they came and went back and then came back again, this really needs a solution and a political solution. is pressure going on aung san suu kyi, she has faced criticism internationally for not doing enough to intervene to stop what has been described as ethnic cleansing of the rohingya muslims. do you think this is another ramping up of pressure on the leader? it's an opportunity for peace and a political solution, that is the role of the united nations. there's another conflict brewing, rebels engaging with military from myanmar. this is an indication that myanmar. this is an indication that myanmar is becoming increasingly destabilised and are you worried about that? there are a lot of armed conflicts and basically this is the

number—1 reason why people flee their homes, armed conflict, it's seclusion, it is war, to save their lives and we hope that efforts can bring the diggle solutions and these people can go home. because living in these circumstances is impossible. —— bring political solutions. thank you so much for speaking to us and good luck with your work. it's just after quarter past eight, let check—in with the weather and matt has all the details. good not everyone, quite as sunny as it is in the island sky this morning, a good amount of dry and bright weather for the majority, good amount of dry and bright weatherfor the majority, cloud in the south and east, grey start, some light rain and drizzle. elsewhere, some showers. round in scotland,

northern england and northern ireland, somewhat developing as we go through the day. most staying dry, sunny spells in the west and north of the country, a lovely day in 0rkney and shetland, across the midlands, east anglia and southern counties of england it stays cloudy and towards the south—east corner and towards the south—east corner and channel islands turning wet and windy. temperatures down on what they should be, single figures in they should be, single figures in the south and east, turning colder as this low pressure pushes up from france bringing miserable weather across central and eastern england. these areas on the move, be wary, heavy and persistent rain through the day giving flooding, strong winds causing travel disruption, bringing some rough seas to the east. away from that, the north and the west, into tomorrow, dry and clear, a bit of frost, some mist and fog patches, much of england in particular, too much cloud, in the south—east rain will develop widely.

into monday morning, a lovely start, frosty start for scotland and northern ireland and the western fringes of england and wales. this area of rain in east anglia and the south—east and channel islands, winds gusting over 50 miles an hour, sleet at times to go with the ring over the top of hills, this band of whether moving westwards, it's going to be sitting in these areas roughly all day, 50 millimetres of rain, two inches possible for some, you could see minor flooding and inches possible for some, you could see minorflooding and rough sea conditions around the north sea. contrast england scotland and northern ireland, sunshine through the day, feeling pleasant, light winds, 14 degrees possible in glasgow. monday night into tuesday, snow for a time over it the pennines, the area of rain clearing into tuesday morning, into the north sea, tuesday afternoon eastern scotla nd sea, tuesday afternoon eastern scotland and england it will brighten and feel a little less

cold. temperatures closer to where they should eat. but in the west, clouding over after a frosty start, rain into northern ireland. we start the week with a cold and wet spell of weather, temperatures reaching a degrees through monday, by the end of the week temperatures reaching a maximum of 18. that is how it is looking. sheffield is the place to be, sheffield the only one with 18. there you go, let's see if we can find somewhere else. this is like top trumps with weather. birmingham is about 16, now sheffield 18, it is the place to beat next week. there you go, enjoy. it's eight weeks since

a nerve agent attack left a former russian spy and his daughter in a critical condition in hospital in salisbury. yulia skripal has been released but her father sergei is still receiving treatment. the events of the 4th of march have had a lasting impact not only on them, but on salisbury, with businesses and tourist attractions across the city continuing to report a fall in takings of as much as 70 percent. simon jones has more. most of salisbury may be open for business, but the police cordons remain. a reminder of what happened here he ate weeks ago. at this shop overlooking the spot where sergei skripal and his daughter were poisoned on a park bench, some takings have been down by 70%. to go from a busy walkway, having a very busy shop to having almost no one coming, i can go three hours with nobody walking past, it's a shark and everybody has we've actually come together and supported each other.

here at the cathedral visitor numbers have fallen by up to 30% this month, compared with the same period last year. some of that is being put down to the weather, they are hopeful that reassurances by government officials that salisbury is safe will finally start to get through. the start of a pub crawl. the latest event to try to persuade people back to the city, but some want reassurance. it's a scary world at the moment. i think anywhere you go, you didn't expect it in salisbury, definitely not. hopefully it will pick up. i'm a little bit concerned about the children. we walk through the town centre every day, but not unduly. no concerns whatsoever. the decontamination project is beginning slowly. at this shop they hope some good can come from the traumatic events. i think we can look back over years

to come, and we could see this as a turning point. financial support is available for badly affected businesses, but some fear a return to normality could be a long way off. we will stay across that story, interesting one, as salisbury tries to recover after that attack. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the sunday papers. paul horrocks, the journalist and former newspaper editor, is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we'll speak to paul in a minute but first let's take a look at some of the front pages. the sunday telegraph says stores could be at risk if a proposed asda and sainsbury‘s merger does go ahead. the sunday times leads on its own investigation where it

claims thousands of russian twitter accounts could have been used to rally support for labour before last year's general election. the observer reports on calls from the london mayor, sadiq khan, for the home secretary amber rudd to rssign over her handling of the so—called windrush scandal. and the sunday express focuses on security rehearsals ahead of the royal wedding of prince harry to meghan markle. a p pa re ntly apparently two sas soldiers acted out the role of the kabul. a soldier and his wife stood in. good morning, paul. we shouldn't really be surprised about that. it's a normal security operation. any excuse to write the names of prince harry and meghan markle on the front of papers. they played the role of

harry and megan, the soldiers, in rehearsal. i'm not surprised the military are involved in the rehearsal. the rugby a lot of criticism if they happen. let's talk about some of the serious stuff. this is the mail on sunday. about a reduced speed limit in parts of scotland. speed limits are always controversial, we have lots of 20 mph limits across the uk especially near schools but this says roads across scotland are set to become the slowest in europe. £5 million plan to impose lower speed limits in areas were 30 mile an hour limits currently apply. it will be the default speed limit in the village, town and city. going to be launched in the scottish parliament in the next few weeks. i am sure the rest of the uk will look on with interest, seeing if it reduces accidents and casualties. you see signs driving through neighbourhoods

in england, 20 is plenty. and it is the same campaign, 20 is plenty. people parking on pavements, eve ryo ne people parking on pavements, everyone has so many cars and houses don't have dry twice, everyone parts on the road, someone belting down the road at 30. we see all kinds of problems with parked cars, they are half on the pavement and road, pedestrians can't get past, they become single line routes but of course i think this will have a big impactand course i think this will have a big impact and hauliers are already saying it would delay is getting from a to b. it's not all plain sailing. but i think the rest of the uk will look closely at how this works. another one you picked out, golf, to repair a hole in the special relationship. the story that resident trump is likely to be playing a lot of golf when he visits, we understand the visit to

the uk is on the 13th ofjuly. 0f course he owns turnberry in scotland, he has a course in ireland. a friend of the president told the paper the recently delayed his break trip to britain was because the weather at that time of year isn't goodenough for golf. because the weather at that time of year isn't goodenough for golflj year isn't goodenough for golf.|j think that's a lame excuse but i think that's a lame excuse but i think it's amazing that the president who criticised his predecessor barack president who criticised his predecessor ba rack 0bama president who criticised his predecessor barack 0bama should find time to play golf 100 days of his presidency so far but it looks like they want to try and do a bit of a schmooze on the golf course but who will he play with? and where will he play, i don't think it will be at his courses and of course theresa may does not play golf so will they find a politician? i think it's a problem for a lot of women, dismisses don't have a golf course andi dismisses don't have a golf course and i play golf but not many women do andi and i play golf but not many women do and i think lots of women miss out on those high level decisions and schmoozing and diplomacy going

on on the golf course and will we see any women represented when president trump goes to the legs? maybe theresa may can dry the buggy. i wonder if they will tell anybody for the golf courses because they might get protests. what else have you got? i like this. this is in the observer. beer made from bread, we like the idea of using leftovers. the ingredients in bread have been known for a long time to be used in beer making and there is a bit about bali except what 24 million slices of bread are thrown away every day across britain. isn't it the most wasted food item? must be, 24 million every day, but marks and spencer say, the bread that has gone off will now be sent to a brewery in

suffolk and they will turn it into tasty beer called used our loaf! we will raise a toast! the world championships nagar on the bbc at the moment. we are talking about bad handbags between ronnie o'sullivan and ali carter and steve davies part of the coverage and commentary team at the crucible some people may know this about him, he is a superstar dj, he was at glastonbury. he has a real cult following and doesn't he have an incredible dj name. he says it's living life in reverse like benjamin button. he has got a weekly show on an essex community radio station, he spends nights at home spinning the discs and he is now planning much more dj in clubs across the uk. trying to find what

his dj name is but i can't find it. he has some real... it's something like dj big tunes with the z something like that! it's really annoying me that i can remember. i am going to google bad. doesn't tell us what his favourite tunes are. he likes something bonkers like acid house, something really unexpected. asa house, something really unexpected. as a snooker player you have a certain image but he has this com plete certain image but he has this complete alter ego. a new side to snooker. dj sunder muscle i have just been told in my ear, i kid you not, steve davies! breaking news. thank you, paul. we should give you a dj name. next time! coming up in the next half hour: should grandparents have more rights when it comes to seeing their grandchildren? we'll speak to a campaigner about why she's trying to change the law.

stay with us, headlines coming up. hello this is breakfast, with katherine downes and ben thompson. here's a summary of this morning's main news. the competition watchdog is being urged to begin an immediate investigation into plans for a merger of two of the uk's biggest supermarkets. the lib dem leader and former business secretary vince cable has warned that a deal between asda and sainsbury‘s threatened to create another monopoly in a market already dominated by a few big players. a sainsbury‘s spokesman said further details would be released tomorrow morning. officials in seoul say the north korean leader has pledged to dismantle his country's nuclear test site next month, with foreign experts invited to ensure transparency. kimjong—un is also reported to have told the south korean president during their summit on friday that he would change the country's time zone to match the south. meanwhile, president trump has announced that he plans to meet with north korean leader kimjong—un within a month. speaking at a rally in michigan last night, he told supporters he hoped talks would be successful but added

that he was ready to walk away if they did not work out. the denuclearisation of the korean peninsula of north korea — de—nuke! de—nuke! more than 200 mps have written to theresa may calling for the assurances given to the windrush generation about their citizenship to be written into law. the letter, coordinated by the labour mp david lammy, said concerns over compensation, housing and legal rights had not been settled. the home office said home secretary amber rudd was due speak in the commons on monday. it's been claimed thousands of russian twitter accounts could have been used to rally support for labour, before last year's general election. an investigation by the sunday times and swansea university identified 6,500 russian accounts, many of which were internet "bots", which tweeted supportive messages for labour. the culture secretary, matt hancock, has described it as "extremely concerning". tributes have been

paid to alfie evans, the toddler at the centre of a long—running legal battle over his care, who died yesterday. hundreds of his supporters released balloons alongside his parents in memory to the 23—month—old, who died almost a week after life support was withdrawn. he'd been treated for a degenerative neurological condition in liverpool's alder hey hospital since december 2016. members of the united nations security council have travelled to bangladesh to visit refugee camps in cox's bazaar. the area is home to nearly 700,000 rohingya muslims fleeing violence in neighbouring myanmar. on monday, they will meet the country's leader, aung san suu kyi, before visiting rakhine state, the centre of what the un has described as ethnic cleansing. the australian government is promising to spend almost £300 million to help restore

and protect the great barrier reef. measures will include reducing fertilisers entering the ocean and tackling coral—eating star fish. critics have accused ministers of being hopelessly unable to tackle the climate emergency facing the world's largest reef system. you learn something new every day on this programme. i had no idea that starfish eight coral. you need eight series link to david attenborough. feet up with a cup of tea. david attenborough tells you everything you need to know, particularly about the barrier reef. richard, did you know that starfish

eight coral? i don't want to be clever, but i did. we have been talking about dj sunda masal. you might have missed that.” talking about dj sunda masal. you might have missed that. i heard that. i thought it might be something like dj interesting.” that. i thought it might be something like dj interesting. i was impressed and alarmed that steve davis was a dj. when he retired, he became a superstar dj. he's been at glastonbury and he has his own show. we are talking about the snooker in a minute and a bit of handbags at the crucible, but let's start with the crucible, but let's start with the football. all of the bottom three took points

yesterday. stoke took a draw, southampton are clinging on. it's getting to crunch time. today's matches our clubs at the top of the table. both manchester clubs are in action. united face arsenal, with champions man city playing west ham. but as i mentioned yesterday it was all about the battle at the bottom. as alex gulrajani reports. the fight goes on for another week. darren moore's escape plan for west bromwich albion is coming together, but could it be too little, too late? well, they won't go down without trying. matthew phillips sealed all three points for the baggies at newcastle. eight points from their last four matches now, but the boss is taking one game at a time. we've all played a part in getting that result today. it's another week of hard work what we have shown and together, we've all earnt a good result today and everybody can share in it. and they weren't the only big winners on the bottom of the table. southampton edged closer to jumping out of the bottom three with a 2—1 win over south coast neighbours bournemouth. commentator: here's dusan tadic! tadic, great finish!

and dusan tadic has scored again! paul lambert could do with finishing like that if stoke are to make it 10 consecutive seasons in the top flight. their best chance away at liverpool fell to ryan shawcross. a draw the best they could do. survival for now still a possibility. all i wanted was a chance to go into the last few games with a chance and hopefully if results go our way then, then it's not for the faint—hearted, that's for sure, but we're in the fight and i'll take a fight with anything and so will the lads. we'll be ready next saturday. that result gave carlos carvalhal‘s swansea a chance to put some distance between them and the bottom three. chelsea, though, have their own ambitions at the other end of the table. cesc fabregas gave them an early lead and swansea couldn't fight back. tom carroll! oh, just wide! oh, it's a nerve—jangling spring for swansea city supporters. crystal palace fans will sleep a lot easier, though. a 5—0 row win over leicester city virtually guarantees their safety for another season as the race to stay in the premier league goes down to the wire.

alex gulrajani, bbc news. burnley have all but guaranteed themselves a place in the europa league next season. a goal—less draw with brighton yesterday has given them a six point gap over eighth placed everton, who beat huddersfield 2—0 in the day's other game. in scotland, celtic could win the premiership title today with a win over rangers in the old firm derby. in yesterday's games, there was an eight goal thriller between hibernian and kilmarknock. hibs coming out 5—3 winners there to keep alive their hopes of snatching second spot. there were also wins for hamilton and motherwell. it could be a huge day for manchester city and chelsea's women's teams, who are aiming to reach the final of the champions league for the first time. our women's football reporter jo currie is in lyon ahead of city's match this afternoon. jo, it's 0—0 after the first leg. how confident will city be that they can get through to the final? yes, good morning, richard. you can

speed the stadium in the background which could be the scene of an historic moment this afternoon. city coming to this second leg having gained a credible goalless draw in the home leg last weekend, largely thanks to a brilliant defensive display from manchester city and not least due to to the number of saves karen bardsley made, including a last ditch effort in 89th minute. 0-0 last ditch effort in 89th minute. 0—0 today, but let me put it into context. leon are the defending champions and they going for their third consecutive title they are widely regarded as the best team in the world. —— lyon. the manager says he feels it could be manchester

city's am to get into the tie and win the whole competition. for them to do that, they will need to have the game of their lives this afternoon and i think he is right. no english team has reached the european final since arsenal won it in 2007 and never under the current format. how big an achievement would it be if one our teams could do it? it has been 11 long years since we have had a british team, an english tea m have had a british team, an english team through to the finals. since it has been rebranded, we haven't had a tea m has been rebranded, we haven't had a team in the final, so it will be a monumental moment if either chelsea or arsenal do it, and a huge moment for women's football because it will show how much the game has improved and how the top english clubs can

compete with the top french and german clubs as well. thank you very much. let's hope that chelsea or city or both of them can do it. there was some argy bargy at the crucible as ali carter knocked out the five time champion ronnie o'sullivan. what started as an innocuous looking bump of shoulders during a shot quickly escalated into a bit of handbags. have a listen to this. thank you very much. very nice of you. stop being angry at me. alright fellas. just play on, yeah? i'm cool. well it didn't distract carter too much, he went on to win by 13 frames to 9, only his second win over o'sullivan in 17 previous meetings between the pair. and he enjoyed it, too. afterwards, ronnie brushed off any controversy, saying it's all overplayed because of his standing in the sport. every sport has their tiger woods,

every sport has their roger federer, i happen to be that figure in the snooker. i'm not saying i win as much as them or have all the records but, you know, i didn't ask for that, you know, to that situation. i try to carry it as best as i can but, you know, if other people have a problem with that then they have to deal with it themselves, you know? ijust have to go out there and try and do a job and have fun and enjoy myself and i'll continue to enjoy myself, you know? dan evans made a winning return from a drugs ban with victory in round one of qualifying for next week's atp challenger tour event in glasgow. the former british number two — who was suspended for a year after taking cocaine — beat fellow brit ed corrie in straight sets, and will re—enter the world rankings if he beats ireland's sam's barry today. great britain have been promoted to the top flight of world ice hockey for the first time in 25 years. it was a dramatic end to the game as britain came from two nil down against hosts hungary — robert farmer scoring the all important goal 15 seconds before the end to secure promotion and a gold medal. they began the tournament ranked 24th in the world, but next year will play the likes

of canada, russia and sweden as they will be part of the sports elite. fantastic achievement, that is, without external funding as well. brilliant stuff, and the seed then mixing with the likes of canada, sweden, the usa up there? ifi sweden, the usa up there? if i was a real sports journalist, i would know that. so would i! a great achievement. it's not that long ago they were ranked 29th in the world. and they beat hungary, and it's a huge sport there. my husband used to live in budapest and that's what people do on a friday and saturday, go off and watch ice hockey. not an easy opponent. thank you very much. gaming is big business. the billion pound industry

is creating a new wave of celebrities and it's even been tipped as a new olympic sport. now, a 13—year—old from kent has become one of the world's youngest professional gamers. kyle jackson has become so good at the game fortnite that he could start earning serious money. joe lynam went to meet him. for many of us, fortnight is the length of time you spend on your holidays overseas every summer. but for millions of young people, it's the hottest video game on the planet right now. and for this 13—year—old, it's potentially a lucrative future career. kyle jackson is so good at fortnite that he has been signed to play with a team of professional gamers. so how did he start? played video games all my life basically. i started playing competitively when i was around nine or ten. i got into, like, halo, call of duty, games like that, and ijust — i realised that i could probably, like, go to a pro level if i kept playing at the level i am at that age. gaming is no joke.

it's big business. thousands of people pay to watch the experts at play around the world. there are even celebrities. it's becoming a multibillion—dollar industry, just games, production of games, publishing of games, and the e—sport scene, so it's notjust one thing now, it's a whole industry that's, you know, wrapped up in a bow. in the game, you need materials to build. kyle says he is doing well at school, and that allows him to do what many boys dream of — play games and make money. joe lynam, bbc news. not a bad way to earn a living. they are talking about it becoming an olympic sport in 2024. it's been described by one mp as a "living bereavement" — when grandparents lose access

to their grandchildren after a family break—up. in the uk, there are no automatic rights for grandparents so they have to fight for access through the courts. there are now calls to change that. let's discuss this with marjorie, a grandparent and campaigner, and solicitor melanie hartley. marjorie, i will speak to you first. you have not seen some of your grandchildren for a number of years. how has that impacted you? well, i've got six grandchildren, two of them i don't see. so one thing is that we have lots of family occasions when the two children are absent and the pain of that is quite significant really. the lost my notice that it was at easter when we had an easter egg hunt. my mum was there last year and the children have been there. quite sometime. my mum has died, so the fact that we have not had the grandchildren we missed, they are not there, they haven't seen their man, they don't

haven't seen their man, they don't have any idea of our side of the family. that's terribly painful. i think you will find grandparents in my situation go around permanently sad underneath, although we find ways of dealing with it and coping with it and moving forward, but there is a strong sense of grief, loss, anger and worried because you worry about the impact on the children because you know very well if you have had a good relationship with them when they were little that there are memories that they can't access and you can't access. there are experiences that they are forced to forget and it's painful because you know in the long term it will damage them and damage how they make relationships with other people. also i know from my work with other grandparents that some people are very severely affected to the point of becoming very ill. many of them have to go to the gp, a lot of them

are on antidepressants. in our little group where we meet, there are terribly distressing occasions where they simply pour out their grief and it's very, very severe, the impact on the grandparent‘s life. maloney, when you hear stories like that from marjorie, how typical is it? is marjorie has touched on, it's something you may not want to talk about too often if you are in that position. it's quite common, unfortunately. the impact of a grandparent grandchild relationship is significant. there are hurdles to ove rco m e is significant. there are hurdles to overcome in terms of taking that step forward. there is the emotional hurdle that marjorie has explained, the difficulties and practicalities of moving that forward with your grandchildren to pursue contact with the child. aside from the emotional,

there is the legal battle as well. the legal side can be quite expensive, traumatic, it is stressful. on one hand you want contact with your grandchild, but you have got to take your child to court to fight that and it's difficult emotionally to deal with. this is something he would be prepared to do, marjorie, if the law in this country changed and grandparents got greater rights? it's almost the last resort because you want to come to some sort of understanding between the members of the family. keeping the child at the heart of it because at that end of it it's about the rights of the child, the right to a full and productive family life. i would explore every option to make contact with any of strutting parent.

failing that, if anyone can oil the wheels between us, it's best to explore mediation and probably exhaust that. despite that, you sometimes can't get through and then caught is the only option. i think particularly, and i have a friend of mine who was involved in this situation weather was a risk of harm to the child, you have to go to court there is no other way, but the court there is no other way, but the court unfortunately, it's such a battle ground when egypt was situation like that. it almost does more harm than good, doesn't it? should the law change? should grandparents of the automatic right to see their grandchildren? payment can apply for leave to proceed with an application. the practicalities of that are relatively simple. ——

grandparents can apply. however, the court has two assess whether there is that relationship between the grandparent and grandchild and that connection to enable the application to move forward and that can sometimes put grandparents off. if that was removed, grandparents would feel reassured that they did not have that first hurdle to overcome and practically it would make the application much easier for them. cani application much easier for them. can i make a point on that? i would like to seejudges can i make a point on that? i would like to see judges writing in the order whether or not it has been asked for, an automatic right for the child to sustain relationships with grandparents on why the family simply because it is the child's entitlement. if there is a problem or major harm or damage, you would have to think twice about it, but i would like that to be written into

thejudge's order. would like that to be written into the judge's order. many would like that to be written into thejudge's order. many do, but not all of them and even if they do, it's not always enforced. and it's the enforcement of an order that needs to be looked at as well. thank you both for talking to us. best of luck, marjorie, trying to reunite with your grandchildren. i hope it happens for you. thank you. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. things are starting to look better? it will eventually. this is the view in cumbria. here in norfolk there has been flooding because of the persistent rain. showers across

scotland, northern ireland and northern england. most places will stay dry for most of the day and across the west and north there will be sunny spells. ploughed across east anglia and the south of england producing some drizzle. the same for the midlands. by the end of the day more rain will return towards the south—east corner, the channel islands and around the coast of east anglia. it is all linked into this big troublemaker coming out of france. it will affect parts of the uk tomorrow. persistent rain could cause further flooding. there could be some travel disruption with strong winds. as we move further away from the south, claire skies.

there will be frost for parts of scotla nd there will be frost for parts of scotland and the north—east. a great day the past majority, but let's focus on the area of rain. gusts of wind in excess of 50 mph. in some of these those it will rain for 24 hours with some sleet mixed in. the rain will spread into the midlands parts of yorkshire by the end of the afternoon. by contrast, in the west, parts of scotland and northern ireland, a fine day. 14 degrees in glasgow. the rain band will be in place for tomorrow evening's shower. there could be some sleet across the pennines. it then shifts eastwards during the beginning of tuesday. in the west we will see rain returned with stronger winds. temperatures

will be on the up. there will be in the high teens by next weekend. thank you. as you promise, it will eventually get better. many of us use reviews to decide which gadgets to buy, where to eat out and for tips on holiday destinations. but they may not always be a genuine helping hand. a bbc radio 5 live investigation has found that fake reviews are being traded openly on social media, with some groups offering full refunds in exchange for five—star ratings. we're joined by 5 live's adrian goldberg, and from our london studio martyn james from the claims and complaints site, resolver. good morning to you both. adrian, this is pretty damning. we rely on reviews to work out whether businesses are good and products by buying a new found that some of the

reviews are up. one of our reporters was able to go onto ebay for $1 99 right a report which was then submitted by the reviewer who he contacted on ebay and uploaded to the trust pilot website. it was a glowing review, but it was a paid review. the name trust pilot, the whole point of a company like that is that you trust what they said. that's right. it's difficult for all of the sites we rely on. for example, amazon had a real problem a few years ago where people will be offered by companies free goods in return for positive reviews. amazon understood it undermined their website and crackdown on it, but we have found evidence that since 2016 when the ban came into place, people have moved underground. they go too closed facebook accounts. people will then contact you and say if you

leave a positive review, they will refu nd leave a positive review, they will refund you later. so it's the same idea, you are getting a free product for a positive review. amazon say that any seller that does that is at risk of being removed from their marketplace. trust pilot has a zero tolerance towards this. ebay said that anyone selling reviews on their sides, they will remove them, but clearly it is a problem. martyn james, how common is this. review sites have been problematic when it comes to fake reviews but in the past the situation has always been one of the fake bots with those obvious one line over the top isn't it wonderful reviews. whenever we find something useful, scammers move into the mix and immediately stop monetising it. the industry is

keeping up with a lot of the technological developments, but it is very difficult to identify a genuine human being who has been paid to put a review on a site in someone who is generating stuff quickly. we need to be more cynical about reviews and look at a broader spread when we consider buying goods and services. we are tied for time, but what identifies a fake review?‘ good way of spotting them, a single sentence glowing review is one. there a humanistic touches that revealed the truth. if you are looking at a hotel or something along those lines, think about what you would review if you were on holiday. people don't review b

swimming pools and the wider facilities, they will talk about the room of the food. it is pretty tough for companies to get rid of all of these reviews? it is not easy and these reviews? it is not easy and the best sites will be as concerned as we are and as determined as we are to clamp down on this. one for us to watch. good to see you, adrian, and thank you, martyn. the full report will be on radio 5 live investigates at 11 o'clock this morning. that's all from breakfast for today, thanks forjoining us. dan and louise will be here tomorrow morning from six. have a lovely rest of the weekend. goodbye. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 9... more than 200 mps sign letter
