6:06 am
is due to leave the eu. she was speaking in egypt where a summit of eu and arab leaders is taking place. our political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. nick, it is the beginning of the week, monday, tell us what we know about the timetable for brexit. what is not going to happen this week if there is not going to be a new deal for mps to vote on. there had been hopes that would be the case. the pm has meekly at that is not happening. that has left some really worried. they will use a vote on wednesday to try and force theresa may's had. there are two plans, one which the mps tried to wrestle control of the process so mps tried to wrestle control of the process so they can stop no deal. another one would be if there is not a plan in place by the 12th of march then the process would be kicked down the road. it would extend brexit day by a couple of months.
6:07 am
why the 12th of march? that is when theresa may has said she will bring a deal back live. that gives a few more weeks to try to find something. but it will be that they before mps get a chance to look at a proper deal. the 29th of march are supposed to be brexit day. there are a lot of people here who now think that won't happen. there is even some speculation this morning that it could be as late as 2021 before we finally leave. for the moment, thank you. we will talk about that throughout the programme. sex education will be compulsory across all secondary schools in england from next year, with pupils as young as four being taught about relationships. it's part of new government guidelines being published today, as chi chi izundu reports. internet use and social media are being blamed for the added pressure children now feel, especially as teenagers. and the education secondary wants schools to do more to help with both their physical and
6:08 am
mental well—being. damian hinds is positive relationships are connected to good mental health, so it is appropriate to make health education universal, alongside relationship and sex education. lessons will start from 2020 in england, and teachers will decide how often to be age—appropriate classes. it is the first update to sex education in schools since 2000. children as young as four will be. things like the importance of getting enough sleep, spending time outdoors, and different family models, which could include same—sex couples. students aged 11 and older will build on primary classes to learn how to spot, and mental health issues like depression and anxiety in both themselves and others. support networks around female genital mutilation, and the dangers of sexting and sharing private photos. but this move isn't without controversy. and today parliament will be debating the guidelines after more than 100,000 people signed a petition. chi chi izundu,

bbc news. the inquests into the deaths of 21 people who were killed by two ira bombs in birmingham in 1974 will reopen this morning. six men who were jailed for the pub bombings served 17 years behind bars, before their convictions were quashed. this report from sima kotecha. what happened in birmingham in 1974 will never be forgotten. it was an evening in november, two bombs exploded in the city centre, destroying two pubs. 21 people were killed, almost 200 were injured. julie hamilton's sister maxine was 18 at the time and died in the attack. she was strong, she didn't suffer fools gladly, she was intelligent, she was funny. and none of our lives, none of our lives would have been the way they turned out, without a shadow of a doubt, we would have been completely different people. the ira is widely believed to have planted the bombs. six people were widely convicted of the
6:10 am
crime. they became known as the birmingham six. they were acquitted after spending more than a decade in prison. those responsible have never been to justice. prison. those responsible have never been tojustice. some prison. those responsible have never been to justice. some of the families of those killed have been fighting for an inquest into the bombings to be reopened, to find out what happened and why. today, the coroner will start that process, marking a significant moment in this long—running story. but there are concerns the inquest won't give any new answers. already the coroner has ruled out looking at who was behind the attacks. it's scheduled to last five weeks. sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. the duke and duchess of sussex have met moroccan schoolgirls in the atlas mountains, during their last official foreign tour before they become parents. meghan had a henna tattoo, which is intended to bring luck, painted on her left hand. the couple's three day tour of the country ends today. a brand—new news programme begins tonight on the newly launched bbc
6:11 am
scotland channel. it's called the nine, and will be presented by rebecca curran and martin geissler. the hour—long programme will present news from around the world from a scottish perspective. good luck to them. researchers in antarctica are searching for the world's oldest ice to help them better understand climate change. norwegian scientists are the latest team to join the search and will spend up to four years looking for a site to extract an ice core, which was formed 1.5 million years ago. it will then be studied to help experts predict future variations in temperature and weather patterns. how would you find the world's old est how would you find the world's oldest ice? a needle in a haystack. iam sure oldest ice? a needle in a haystack. i am sure they know what they are doing. yeah. any drama overnight at the oscars, any drama in the football? is sometimes happen just at the end. there were not many goals yesterday. loads of penalties.
6:12 am
it was goalless, they went into extra time. manchester city and chelsea in the final. the interesting thing happened at the end of the game. i don't think i have ever seen a player if by a manager in such a way ever on the field of play. extraordinary. the chelsea goalkeeper simply refuse to come off. chelsea goalkeeper kepa refused to come off ahead of the penalty shoot—out that saw manchester city retain the league cup at wembley. after a goalless draw, the spaniard was to be substituted in favour of willy caballero ahead of the shoot—out. but much to the annoyance of maurizio sarri, he would not come off. and then they lost, raheem sterling scoring the winning penalty. chelsea later claimed it was all a misunderstanding. a missed chance for liverpool, but they go back to the top of the premier league after a 0—0 draw at old trafford.
6:13 am
and the 20th six nations defeat in a row for italy as defending champions ireland beat them 26—16 in rome to move up to third in the table. but in cardiff, england's women made up for some of yesterday's disappointment by thrashing wales in the women's six nations. they scored 9 tries in the 51—12 victory to go back to the top of the table. we will bring you full analysis of what happened yesterday in all the football in the next 20 minutes or so. football in the next 20 minutes or so. i have never football in the next 20 minutes or so. i have never seen anyone football in the next 20 minutes or so. i have never seen anyone be so defiant. i almost like it. you like the fact that he stayed on?” defiant. i almost like it. you like the fact that he stayed on? i think it is appalling. i think it is really humiliating. i love it when you see that passion, you see eight they are desperately want to stay on they are desperately want to stay on the pitch, say on the field of play, but that was another level. he was trying to make a change. even though later he said he wasn't. more on that later. thank you very much. this is kew gardens this morning. what a beautiful sunrise. max is there for us. i understand we might get some sort of record breaking thiem bridges. a lovely start here.
6:14 am
around 45 minutes till the sun is properly up but it is shaping up to the and other fine and warm day. it has been a remarkable few days across the country. unusual warmth once again. we had temperatures reaching record—breaking levels in some areas. yesterday in wales the record temperatures broke here. let's ta ke record temperatures broke here. let's take a look at what happened in wales through yesterday. temperatures peaked at 19.1 in western parts of wales. that was a new national record for wales. we could get close to breaking some other records as we see temperatures climb. a pretty warm start to the week after some frosty nights. quite a chilly start. some fog around before things turn a bit more u nsettled before things turn a bit more unsettled later on. we have a
6:15 am
weather front bringing outbreaks of rain in the north, pushing towards through the day. elsewhere, fog across the midlands, wales and parts of yorkshire. most places seeing lots of sunshine. on the hazy side apart —— across parts of scotland. temperatures soaring into the team for the vast majority. northern ireland will get close to 17 degrees, 19 degrees in north—east wales and parts of southern and eastern england through the afternoon. another incredibly warm day for the stage in the year. tonight, clear skies for the vast majority and of course it is a case of the light —— nice long enough to register full away. they tend of the light —— nice long enough to registerfull away. they tend —— of the light —— nice long enough to register full away. they tend —— a 20 degrees drop. a chilly start, it will be another fine day. from this then fog across parts of western
6:16 am
island. cloud towards the north—west of scotland, and other blue sky day across the board and to riches could hit around 18 or 19. wednesday, less than fog will be widespread for the commute. it could take a while to shift. once it does, lots of sunshine again, bit more cloud west of scotla nd sunshine again, bit more cloud west of scotland and northern ireland. temperatures down a little bit but still above where they should be at around 12 to 15 degrees. temperatures at this time of year should be around seven to nine. 12 to 15 is well above where we should be. i will have more throughout the morning. back to charlie and the ways. —— louise. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily telegraph reports that brexit could be delayed for up to two months under plans being considered by the prime minister. the picture is of the
6:17 am
duke and duchess of sussex during their royal tour of morocco. the guardian also leads with brexit and suggests any delay could be pushed back as far as 2021 according to eu officials. the picture shows theresa may meeting with diplomats in sharm el sheikh. sport makes the front page of the daily star after chelsea goalkeeper caper refused to be substituted during the carabao cup final against manchester city. the sun reports that kym marsh is to leave coronation street after 13 years on the show, and the paper also carries a picture of meghan markle, who had that henna tattoo during her royal tour of morocco, which is said to be a good luck tradition for pregnant women. and trending worldwide on twitter is this image of actor billy porter who brought a fierce look to the red carpet with a tuxedo and black dress combination. magnificent. is there a name for that? i don't know. i think maybe... i don't know if it
6:18 am
is new. we will see more of those throughout the morning this morning, those outfits because we will be live out of la for those oscar parties. let's do this now. yesterday... who needs the oscars when you get so much drama. manchester united hosted liverpool. manchester united retained the cup, it is down to these men here. the chelsea boss has been under pressure for some time now, he was simply defied by his goalkeeper. it has been struggling with an hamstring injury. he's tried to substitute for a penalty shootout. it just to substitute for a penalty shootout. itjust didn't want to substitute for a penalty shootout. it just didn't want to come off so he stayed on. can you imagine the discussions afterwards ? it was all on tv because we could see it. with him storm off down the
6:19 am
tunnel and kick some being. he went to lead and looked like he was walking out, he turned around and came back and started shouting at the bench, then started shouting. according to the absolute letter of the law, if a player refuses to leave the field, you carry on. the problem of course within the club, and this would be in any situation, is that presumably now all the players can think, if i fa ncy all the players can think, if i fancy staying on, ijust all the players can think, if i fancy staying on, i just will. that is the precedent it is set. it isa that is the precedent it is set. it is a lack of respect for the manager. sarri is saying he still has the respect of the players, but you do think he really doesn't. he isa man you do think he really doesn't. he is a man under pressure. and this dudeis is a man under pressure. and this dude is a goalkeeper worth £70 million or more, they have spent a fortune on him. who is more expendable? it is like us, we do exactly what
6:20 am
oui’ it is like us, we do exactly what our director says all the time. it argued, you just do it. i don't follow. tyenna, we do. —— yeah, we do. iamjust yeah, we do. i am just listening to what she is telling us to do. ina the telling us to do. in a the kids stationary shop, smiggle? you end up spending a fortune if you have kids there. it only came to the uk five years ago and there is a story that the company is asking its landlords for re nt company is asking its landlords for rent cuts because they have now had a slowdown in trading. they have expanded really rapidly over five years, they have 200 stores, and that was the plan and the sales doubled really quickly off the back of the demand for these fluorescent pencil cases and centred ends and brightly coloured boxes, but now it seems they are struggling and have asked the landlord for a cut in the rent. we will see what happens with
6:21 am
that. and i love a story about a retro comeback. this is about set dates. sales have gone up by 125% last year. that is because they sold 50,000 tapes last year. my 50,000 tapes last year. my problem is a genuinely don't think i have a player any more. that is it. i have quite a few. like that size, the buttons on the top. and when you try to record the radio, you press record and try and catch it before the advert. i still have a vhs. just in case. i have a whole set of star wars. brilliant! that is why you had to keep it. will be worth a lot of money. summer injanuary! will be worth a lot of money. summer in january! business from the will be worth a lot of money. summer injanuary! business from the daily mail. i love it when they do that.
6:22 am
it is caught about mexico at the moment. this is rather wonderful. look at the swimmers. i take my hat off to them. very hardy swimmers. is that southport? i used to go there. great for galloping. i saw there. great for galloping. isawa there. great for galloping. i saw a horse on the beach the other day. it is really good for them. thank you very match. we will be keeping an eye on the weather. we are in the queue gardens which is looking spectacular. and we are on the red carpet at the vanity fair party post— oscars and we will get back their to some guests. the african elephant is the world's largest animal, but its numbers are in sharp decline due to poachers hunting them for their tusks. botswana is regarded as one of the continent's great elephant sanctuaries, but it also
6:23 am
has a poaching problem, as our africa correspondent alastair leithead has been finding out. you may find some of the images and descriptions in his report upsetting. botswana is home to a third of africa's remaining elephants. 130,000 of them roam the wilderness. but a new report warns they have a problem. mike chase is a scientist who's carried out aerial surveys across africa. during his recent survey of northern botswana, he saw something that alarmed him — carcasses. well, this particular area is a poaching hot spot. within a 1,000 square kilometre area, there are 88 poached elephants. but he says the government ignored his warnings, so he went public. the response labelled his observations "false and misleading." his licence was withdrawn. when the aerial survey was done in this area, they identified a large number of elephant carcasses with evidence of poaching. we've come out here in the
6:24 am
helicopter to verify those results. i was here in september, four months ago, and at that time, this carcass was fresh, days old. you can see clear evidence of poaching — half of its cranium has been chopped by a very sharp axe or machete. this elephant was still alive when they chopped his tusks out of his skull. how do you know? so, rather than using another bullet and avoiding shot detection, they would have severed his spinal cord, rendering him paralysed and defenceless, while they chopped his tusks out. we saw more than 60 carcasses in two days. the final report, which the government hasn't yet released, details six times more fresh 01’ recent carcasses than the last survey four years ago, calling it "a significant elephant poaching problem." nine international experts reviewed the findings, but the government still questions the figures. nobody can deny that elephants
6:25 am
are being killed in botswana, just like, you know, um, nobody can deny that there is poaching elsewhere in this continent. but we are denying that 87 elephants were never killed next to a wildlife sanctuary in northern botswana, because we went there and we couldn't find 87 carcasses. these figures are small compared to botswana's elephant population, but some high—end safari operators believe everyone needs to fight this together now before it gets out of control. i think the government has been hiding it for a while, and now that it's been brought out in the open, we are now realising how serious the problem is and these big poachers have actually infiltrated further than we expected them to be. the government does have the resources to act, but the poaching issue is caught up in a battle
6:26 am
between two political heavyweights — a new president and his predecessor, which is clouding the whole debate. alastair leithead, bbc news. some really distressing pictures in that report. we will speak to a conservationist and director later here on breakfast. coming up in the next half hour on breakfast — steph will be here to explain why we're spending more money doing up our homes as the rate of house sales continues to slow down. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. i'm alice salfield. a bbc london investigation has exposed management companies helping customers to cheat the law on short lettings. on a short—term basis
6:27 am
for a maximum of 90 nights a year —— london hosts are only allowed to rent out their properties on a short—term basis for a maximum of 90 nights a year unless they have planning permission. but some management companies were found advising landlords on how to break the law and dupe the rental website airbnb by setting up fake listings in order to go above the legally allowed limit. companies that apparently know what the rules are and are telling people, you don't need to worry, we can find ways around these rules, it is absolutely shocking. she undermines everything we were told about how the accommodation would work. it is really deeply dispiriting. you can see more on that story tonight on inside out london at 7:30pm on bbc one. now, people in west london have hit out at plans for an office block near to a centre, which offers counselling to survivors of the grenfell fire. developers want to knock down a building on freston road in north kensington and replace it with a 9—storey one. critics say it's a poor design at an inappropriate time. but those behind the scheme say they've revised the plans
6:28 am
to address concerns. adverts that junk food adverts thatjunk food banned on the entire london transport network from today. they will not be allowed, but brand and restaurants are allowed to show healthier products. the move is aimed at tackling childhood obesity. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, there are severe delays on the overground between gospel oak and barking because of power supply problems. for passengers using thameslink, there are urgent track repairs at denmark hill, so some lines are blocked meaning possible delays and diversions. looking at the roads. following months of work, baker street has now switched to 2—way traffic as you can see here. there is not many people out there at the moment. and in aldgate, comercial street is closed northbound for emergency gas works. now, the weather with kate kinsella. a beautifully gloriously sunny but
6:29 am
unseasonably warm weekend. temperatures between 17 and 19 celsius. more of the same today. hanging on to the warm air. first thing this morning, it is pretty chilly out there. temperatures close to zero so you may get a little frost first thing. it will not last long. barely any cloud to speak today, just blue sky and sunshine and temperatures at 18 celsius. similar conditions overnight to last night, and temperatures dropping close to zero. tomorrow morning you may see a sparkle to frost. the minimum away from central london around —1 but another bright start and more of the same tomorrow. blue skies, sunshine, but you will notice from wednesday a bit more cloud around, with sea temperatures start to drop. something a little more seasonable as the head through the rest of the weekend into the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. see you soon.
6:30 am
hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. we'll bring you all the latest reaction to last night's oscars ceremony throughout the morning. also on breakfast this morning: eight years after sally challen was jailed for the murder of her husband richard, the couple's son david will tell us why he hopes a law recognising coercive control will free herfrom prison. schoolchildren as young as four will be taught compulsory lessons about relationships as part of a shakeup of sex education lessons in england. we'll be asking what's age—appropriate, and what parents can do if they have any concerns. and alan partridge returns to our screens this week, but who on earth would want to be his co—presenter? susannah fielding will tell us what it's like working alongside norfolk‘s finest tv personality.
6:31 am
good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. olivia colman has won best actress at this year's oscars. she picked up the academy award for her portrayal of queen anne in the film the favourite. the other main winners at the ceremony overnight were rami malek, who won best actor for his portrayal of freddie mercury in bohemian rhapsody, and green book, a story about race in 1960s america, which picked up the award for best picture. to be in this category with these extraordinary women and glenn close, you have in my idle for so long, and this is not how i wanted it to be, i think you are amazing, i love you so much. i love you all. thank you. lindy king, my agent who took me on over 20 years ago. thank you, some
6:32 am
—— thank you so much. our correspondent dan johnson is on the red carpet at the vanity fair party for us this morning. she did that speech in her own style, didn't she? she certainly did. it did not seem something that was preprepared, so she had written. it was very much off—the—cuff, and i think it hit everyone who was watching, everyone here has commented on what an authentic, on a speech it was. she got muddled times, she lost her way, she thanked all sorts of people, including pa rents, all sorts of people, including parents, their kids, who she said she hoped for watching back in the uk, even was late, and she even thanked lady gaga who happened to be sat in front of in the front row. she talked about the fact that she is to work as a cleaner. this was an astonishing achievement that she had managed to get to this level and win that award. she was up against a really physical division. everybody
6:33 am
thought this would be glenn close's year. she has been nominated for seven oscars. and everybody thought this is a time. she won nearly every other hollywood award in the last couple months in the buildup to the oscars. everybody thought this would be her time. unlucky seven for her. olivia colman be made to stand out british success. but the favourite, although it had ten nominations, thatis although it had ten nominations, that is the only award it won. the oscars have really been scattered around. we are waiting at the vanity fair after party to see who arrives, who we can get a reaction from. thank you very much. will speak you later on. thank you. it has a particular kind of atmosphere. the shouting and the rest of it. he will probably be doing that later. theresa may will meet european leaders, including germany's angela merkel, at a summit in egypt today, as she continues to seek changes to her brexit deal. the prime minister wants extra legal promises regarding the future of the irish border. but she's also facing pressure at home to rule out leaving the eu without an agreement. mps will vote again
6:34 am
on the deal by march the 12th. sex education will be compulsory across all secondary schools in england from next year, with pupils as young as four being taught about relationships. it's part of new government guidelines being published today, which make relationships and health education part of the curriculum for all ages. the inquests into the deaths of 21 people who were killed by two ira bombs in birmingham in 1974 will reopen this morning. six men who were jailed for the pub bombings served 17 years behind bars, before their convictions were quashed. the hearings are expected to last for nine weeks. the duke and duchess of sussex have met moroccan schoolgirls in the atlas mountains, during their last official foreign is tour before they become parents. meghan had a henna tattoo, which is intended to bring luck, painted on her left hand. the couple's three—day tour of the country ends today. a brand new news programme begins tonight on the newly launched bbc
6:35 am
scotland channel. it's called the nine, and will be presented by rebecca curran and martin geissler. the hour—long programme will present news from around the world from a scottish perspective. researchers in antarctica are searching for the world's oldest ice to help them better understand climate change. norwegian scientists are the latest team to join the search and will spend up to four years looking for a site to extract an ice core, which was formed 1.5 million years ago. it will then be studied to help experts predict future variations in temperature and weather patterns. those are the main stories this morning. we had an event yesterday in the football, which baked the big question, who decides who is on the pitch? the event was the league cup final at wembley, which manchester city one. chelsea could quite easily have won it because it went to extra time and
6:36 am
penalties. in that position goalkeeper is hugely important. the chelsea goalkeeper, kepa, refused to be substituted before the shootout. i've never seen such defiance from a player in the face of the manager. the official boards had been held up and everything like that. and he simply refused to go. it is one of those things, like the oscars, he could have been the hero, could have been the villain, if they had gone on to win. if. manchester city have beaten chelsea on penalties to win the efl cup. but the match was overshadowed by an exchange between chelsea's manager maurizio sarri and his goalkeeper, with the player refusing to be substituted. joe lynskey reports. this is the remarkable moment a player stayed on the pitch while his manager got closer to leaving the club. chelsea's goalkeeper kepa was
6:37 am
being substituted, taking off for a tim aker —— teammate who specialises in saving penalties. but instead he refused to come off. richard sari lost control. a manager's decision overruled by his team —— maroochy surrey. his mind had wanted enough to let sergio aguero is that they shot right through him. daboll is then tried to take the pressure in his long—range in stride —— abidal is. with this he gave manchester city the advantage. it could be the first of four trophies for city in one season. but this final will be remembered for one extraordinary exchange. chelsea addressed the issue in a tweet, joe lynskey, bbc news. this is sarri's calmer response after the game.
6:38 am
it was a big misunderstanding. i understood that he would go. i did not want the goalkeeper to go to the penalties in that physical condition. i realised the situation only after three, four minutes when the doctor arrived and he came to the doctor arrived and he came to the bench. in the meantime, i wanted valero on the pitch. does it make more sense? it is difficult to understand is what is getting out. he had a hamstrung injury, that is why he was going like that all the time. he says that is why he was shown to substituted. that is what he was saying at the time. yesterday's big match between manchester united and liverpool didn't live up to expectation. it ended up a goalless draw — the first between these two teams at old trafford in the premier league. the point means liverpool return to the top of the table but they failed to take advantage of a man united team ravaged
6:39 am
by injuries during the match. arsenal are up to fourth after beating southampton 2—0 at home thanks to goals from alexandre lacazette and henrikh mkhitaryan. the result means arsenal a point ahead of manchester united who are fifth. celtic manager brendan rodgers is the favourite to replace the sacked claude puel at leicester city puel was dismissed yesterday following saturday's 4—1 defeat at home to crystal palace. he'd been under huge pressure afterfailing to win in the premier league since new year's day. leicester were also knocked out of the fa cup by league two side newport county. defending champions celtic are still eight points clear at the top of the scottish premiership, thanks to a 4—1 win over motherwell. midfielder odsonne eduoard scored twice including that stylish free kick. it's the first time celtic have conceded a league goal in 2019. rangers are still second,
6:40 am
five points clear of third placed aberdeen, after a 5—0 win at hamilton. rangers were four up by half—time. the result leaves hamilton just four points ahead of bottom side st mirren. ireland survived a scare against the side bottom of the six nations table, italy — but they did emerge with a bonus—point win in rome. the italians had a lead at half—time, but the reigning champions eventually made their quality show — scoring four tries. it's two wins out of three for ireland. for italy, it's now 20 consecutive six nations defeats. in cardiff, england's women made—up for the disappointment of england's men by thrashing wales in the women's six nations. they scored nine tries a 51—12 victory to go back to the top of the table. sarah bern and jess breach both scored two tries each. nat sciver has given england's women a chance against india in the second of three one—day internationals. she came in at 14/3 in mumbai. wickets kept tumbling, but she made 85 as they were bowled out for 161. defeat would hand the series to india.
6:41 am
dan evans has missed out on his first atp tour title after losing to moldova's radu albot in the delray beach open final. evans had been a break down in the first set before fighting back to win five of the next six games to claim the opener. the match went into a deciding set where evans failed to convert three match points. he then made a double fault on championship point. he is one of those players, isn't he, either brilliant or he doesn't quite get there. frustrating to watch. the thing you say about italy, losing 20 in a row in the six nations. 20 in a row. that is the spirit of sport, that you carry on. they put in an amazing performance and keep trying. i was listening and thought there would be a heck of an upset. but ireland were great. yeah.
6:42 am

6:50 am
lots of people arriving here. we will try and grab a word with richard later. if you are just waking richard later. if you arejust waking up, i was trying to keep up with him and what he didn't say. s picture went to green book, s factor to rami malek. olivia colman, best director was alfonso for roma. best supporting actress was regina king, best original screenplay was green book, best adapted ream blot play black clansmen. and officially, i think we award down the award for best reporter looking in one direction while talking in the other and trying to find people going past at the same time. well done. good luck for the rest of the day. an unofficial award, that one. matt is at kew gardens for us this morning with a look at the weather. it is just getting light and matter is there this morning. promises of more good weather for
6:51 am
is there this morning. promises of more good weatherfor a is there this morning. promises of more good weather for a lot of people. good morning from kew gardens. this award is best looking weatherman. it is temperatures close to freezing. a bit of frost on the garden behind me. temperatures in parts of suffolk, minus three degrees. conscious that with scotland where we are at 12 degrees. big to richer contrast top to tail of the uk, but that will even out through the day. evenif that will even out through the day. even if you have a warm jacket on, across southern even if you have a warm jacket on, across southern areas you even if you have a warm jacket on, across southern areas you will be casting it aside by the time you get to the end of the morning because things will be substantially warm and they should be at this time of year. looking at wales yesterday, it is here where wales for their warmest ever a february day. 19.1dc recorded in west wales. could even beat that today. this unusually warm
6:52 am
speu beat that today. this unusually warm spell will continue for the first of this week with good sunny spells around. but the night is long enough and they will be quite chilly with frost than old. things turn cooler later this week but temperatures will remain above where they should be. we have high pressure largely in charge. we have fog across parts of north—eastern england, also across the west midlands and eastern parts of wales that could cause problems for the morning commute. dry and sunny to begin with. a little cloud across scotland. outbreaks of rain will turn heavier for across scotland. outbreaks of rain will turn heavierfor a across scotland. outbreaks of rain will turn heavier for a time. across scotland. outbreaks of rain will turn heavierfor a time. a little bit on the hazy side but it will be a blue sky day once we get rid of any fog around and with it averages saw around to 17 degrees in northern ireland, 19 in parts of northern ireland, 19 in parts of north wales and some parts of central and eastern england in particular. after that, once the sun has gone, that averages will drop of
6:53 am
wage are largely clear skies and missed and fog patches. to averages may hold up for one or two, but for most it will be a chilly start to tomorrow morning. many will wake up tomorrow morning. many will wake up toa tomorrow morning. many will wake up to a bit of frost on the grass and on the car. it is another day, cast aside the warm jacket because by them afternoon bluescope for the majority yet again we will see temperatures once more get close to 18 or 19 degrees. especially this time in eastern parts of england. a better day for the of scotland. wednesday, missed and fog is back more widely. it will be a problem for the meaning —— morning commute for the meaning —— morning commute for many. fog could linger towards the middle part of the morning if not until around lunchtime for one or two. but i could warm on wednesday but still with temperatures of 12 to dean or 16 degrees, well above where we should be at this time of year. an unusual
6:54 am
warm spell will continue to review daviot. thank you very much. —— will continue for a few days to come. we are back to the red carpet soon. there are plenty of cranes on the skyline in some of our big cities, but how positive is the construction industry feeling about the future? good question. steph's here. the annual construction skills network report forecasts how much building work will happen in the next five years and, crucially, how many people are needed to make it happen. as long as we don't get a no—deal brexit, construction is expected to grow by about 1.3% this year — that's less than what was originally predicted last year. it is not quite as much as what they will thought it would be last year when they originally started predicting this but that is quite
6:55 am
common stock forecast to be changed. the biggest winner in all of this when you break down the numbers is public housing. this is more money being spent by local authorities and the government on projects to do with public housing. they are expecting quite a bit of growth there, more than 3%. it's not great for infrastructure and commercial building, though. we talked about this on the programme before a bout the uncertainty at the moment, meaning that investors and various people are concerned about whether we should go ahead with the brig project and they are waiting to see what might happen. the growth was that not quite as good. however, that uncertainty has been good for home repairs as more people concentrate on doing up their house rather than selling. people are not sure if they will fill their house, they would do it up. that is hoping there —— helping the home repair faq. -- home up. that is hoping there —— helping the home repair faq. -— home repair sector. the sector should grow by 1.7% over
6:56 am
the next five years. so, what does this all mean for jobs? this report is forecasting nearly 170,000 roles will be created over the next five years. they are predicting by 2023, there will be something like 2.7 9 million people who are employed in construction. now, if you want to compare it to the peak of the economy back in 2008 just before the financial crisis, that is about 2% lower in terms of the number of people working in the sector. it is creeping back up but we are not quite there with it yet. the other question about all of this is the worry over exactly who will fill those roles. i have talked a loft about the fact that we have a shortage of carpenters, bricklayers, those types of things, and i think a lot of that is to do with us not valuing those skills historically. for a long time people were pushed towards academic and not necessarily vocational, which means there are not as many people doing that as
6:57 am
there should be. they are trying to change that with more apprenticeships and more people doing vocational training. the other issueis doing vocational training. the other issue is what is happening with brexit. what we know is that after the brexit transition period, but only eu citizens who earn more than £30,000 a year will be able to come to the country to do the job. some experts say that will put a real pressure on the sector. this is brian berry from the federation of master builders. we have spoken about making it easierfor eu workers we have spoken about making it easier for eu workers to come to the building industry. the salary target of £30,000 is too high. there are a lot of people earning less than that, and if we will be a role the infrastructure that we need, we need workers coming in and they will be earning less than 30,000, particularly out of london and the south—east. an interesting report given what is going on and how things change get more information.
6:58 am
thank you very much. see you later on in the programme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. i'm alice salfield. a bbc london investigation has exposed property management companies helping customers to cheat the law on short lettings. london hosts are only allowed to rent out their homes on a short—term basis for a maximum of 90 nights a year unless they have planning permission. but some companies were found advising landlords on how to break the law and dupe the rental website airbnb by setting up fake listings in order to go above the legally allowed limit. companies that apparently know what the rules are and are telling people, "you don't need to worry, we can find ways around these rules, there are ways around these rules," it is absolutely shocking. it undermines everything we were told about how short—let accommodation would work. it's really deeply dispiriting.
6:59 am
you can see more on that story tonight on inside out london at 7:30pm on bbc one. now, suspected drug dealers are having their cars taken away as part of a crackdown in east london. tower hamlets council and the police have teamed up on a new strategy in which detectives are given tip—offs about vehicles monitored on cctv. three cars have been stopped and one confiscated in the past week. a ban on adverts forjunk food across london's public transport network has come into force this morning. posters promoting products high in fat, salt and sugar are no longer allowed. but brands and restaurants are allowed to show their healthier products. the move is aimed at tackling childhood obesity. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, there are severe delays still on the overground between gospel oak and barking because of power supply problems. for passengers using thameslink, there are urgent track repairs at denmark hill,
7:00 am
so some lines are blocked, meaning possible delays and diversions. this is the picture on the m25 clockwise. it's a bit busier than usual from junction 21 for the m1 to junction 17 after a crash earlier. not looking too bad there now. and in aldgate, commercial street is closed northbound for emergency gas works. now, the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it was a beautifully gloriously sunny, but unseasonably warm weekend. temperatures yesterday between 17 and 19 celsius. more of the same today. plenty of sunshine, and, yes, we're hanging on to the warm air. but first thing this morning, under the clear skies last night, it is pretty chilly out there. temperatures very close to zero, so you mayjust get a little bit of frost first thing. it won't last for long, though. as you can see, barely any cloud at all to speak of today, just blue sky and sunshine and temperatures up at 18 celsius. now, very similar conditions overnight as well to last night. under clear skies, the temperatures dropping close to zero. so, again, tomorrow morning, you may just see
7:01 am
a sparkle or two of frost. the minimum away from central london around —1 or —2, but another bright start and, indeed, more of the same tomorrow. blue skies, sunshine, temperatures up in the high teens, but you'll notice from wednesday, a bit more cloud around, could see temperatures start to drop a little. something a little more seasonable as we head through the rest of the week and into the weekend. that is all for now. see you soon. is good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. our headlines today: from broadchurch to hollywood. olivia coleman wins best actress at the oscars for her performance as queen anne in the favourite. it's genuinely quite stressful. this is hilarious.

7:08 am
taught things like the importance of getting enough sleep, spending time outdoors, and different family models, which could include same—sex couples. students aged 11 and older will build on primary classes to learn how to spot, and mental health issues like depression and anxiety in both themselves and others, support networks around female genital mutilation, and the dangers of sexting and sharing private photos. but this move isn't without controversy. and today parliament will be debating the guidelines after more than 100,000 people signed a petition. chi chi izundu, bbc news. the inquests into the deaths of 21 people who were killed by two ira bombs in birmingham in 1974 will reopen this morning. six men who were jailed for the pub bombings served 17 years behind bars, before their convictions were quashed. this report from sima kotecha. what happened in birmingham in 1974 will never be forgotten. it was an evening in november,
7:09 am
two bombs exploded in the city centre, destroying two pubs. 21 people were killed, almost 200 were injured. julie hambleton's sister maxine was 18 at the time and died in the attack. she was strong, she didn't suffer fools gladly, she was intelligent, she was funny. and none of our lives, none of our lives would have been the way they've turned out, without any shadow of a doubt, we would have been completely different people. the ira is widely believed to have planted the bombs. six people were wrongly convicted of the crime. they became known as the birmingham six. they were acquitted after spending more than a decade in prison. those responsible have never been to justice. some of the families of those killed have been fighting for an inquest into the bombings to be reopened, to find out what happened and why. today, the coroner will start that process, marking a significant moment in this long—running story. but there are concerns the inquest won't give any new answers.
7:10 am

record—breaking four some. in scotla nd record—breaking four some. in scotland they broke camera to record. let's take a look at what happened in wales yesterday. we thought averages peak yesterday afternoon at 19.1 celsius in west wales. that was the highest ever fairbridge temperature. we could also do that today. this warm spell continues for the start of the week. the night is still cold. later on in the week we will notice things get a little bit closer to how they should be for this time of year. with the bit more cloud and breeze and potentially a bit more in a way of rain as well. not much rain today, thatis rain as well. not much rain today, that is limited to the pressure you can see north of scotland. high pressure eve n can see north of scotland. high pressure even charged and has led to fog forming through night into this morning. some areas are most likely to see dense patches of fog through the morning commute. that will be gone by the end of the morning. lots of blue sky around. some rain will
7:18 am
be on the heavy side and temperatures across the country is still well above where they should be for this time of year. with the 19 degrees across the north—east of wales and some parts of central and eastern england as well. but these big leaps in temperature by day had been matched by big falls interpreted by night. the sky tonight for many again, and temperatures could be close to freezing just across anywhere across the uk. you could be starting with a frost on the ground yet again. another wardrobe dilemma day, more jackets but then you will not needed by the time you come home because bluescope will dominate tomorrow. more cloud across the far north of scotla nd more cloud across the far north of scotland yet again about four most it will be another sunny february day and once again temperatures 18, 19 degrees not out of the question. wednesday, a chilly start but a foggy start for them a view. at the england and wales especially and particularly towards the south—west of england and eastern parts of wales where it could linger towards
7:19 am
lunchtime for some. elsewhere, sunny spells breakthrough that missed and we will see to riches not quite as high as the havoc the moment, but still getting close to around 15 or 16 degrees in one or two spots. from then, inbuilt turn a bit cooler. sunny for the next few days, this unusual february warmth will continue. thank you very much. the african elephant is the world's largest animal, but its numbers are in sharp decline due to poachers hunting them for their tusks. botswana is regarded as one of the continent's great elephant sanctuaries, but it also has a poaching problem, as our africa correspondent alastair leithead has been finding out. you may find some of the images and descriptions in his report upsetting. botswana is home to a third of africa's remaining elephants. 130,000 of them roam the wilderness. but a new report warns
7:20 am
they have a problem. mike chase is a scientist who's carried out aerial surveys across africa. during his recent survey of northern botswana, he saw something that alarmed him — carcasses. well, this particular area is a poaching hot spot. within a 1,000 square kilometre area, there are 88 poached elephants. but he says the government ignored his warnings, so he went public. the response labelled his observations "false and misleading." his licence was withdrawn. when the aerial survey was done in this area, they identified a large number of elephant carcasses with evidence of poaching. we've come out here in the helicopter to verify those results. i was here in september, four months ago, and at that time, this carcass was fresh, days old. you can see clear evidence of poaching — half of its cranium has been chopped by a very sharp axe or machete. this elephant was still alive
7:21 am
when they chopped his tusks out of his skull. how do you know? so, rather than using another bullet and avoiding shot detection, they would have severed his spinal cord, rendering him paralysed and defenceless, while they chopped his tusks out. we saw more than 60 carcasses in two days. the final report, which the government hasn't yet released, details six times more fresh or recent carcasses than the last survey four years ago, calling it "a significant elephant poaching problem." nine international experts reviewed the findings, but the government still questions the figures. nobody can deny that elephants are being killed in botswana, just like, you know, um, nobody can deny that there is poaching elsewhere in this continent. but we are denying that 87 elephants were never killed next to a wildlife sanctuary in northern botswana, because we went there
7:22 am
and we couldn't find 87 carcasses. these figures are small compared to botswana's elephant population, but some high—end safari operators believe everyone needs to fight this together now before it gets out of control. i think the government has been hiding it for a while, and now that it's been brought out in the open, we are now realising how serious the problem is and these big poachers have actually infiltrated further than we expected them to be. the government does have the resources to act, but the poaching issue is caught up in a battle between two political heavyweights — a new president and his predecessor, which is clouding the whole debate. alastair leithead, bbc news. let's talk to megan carr. she's director of global march for elephants and rhinos in cape town, south africa. very good morning to you. thank you for your time this morning. we clearly have a situation where a
7:23 am
government is in denial of what many people involved in work like yourself are seeing firsthand. yes, it doesn't agree with what there are is and unfortunately there is absolutely no doubt poaching has increased a lot in botswana, and if we don't act quickly, we will see the same story that we have seen in other parts of east central and west africa. it isa africa. it is a very emotional subject. why on earth would be in interest of those officials to deny the information and the figures that you put in front of them? i think that there is at the moment a lot of wildlife conflict between humans and elephants. a lot of humans and elephants. a lot of humans living in the eloquent areas and the humans believe that elephants are living in their areas and that is something that has to be addressed. if you want to win votes, you would possibly say that the people are more important than elephants, which they are, however,
7:24 am
we know that we can work around the situation, we can help humans to lessen the conflict. so, i think it is voting, garnering of what the reason is and of course the president's predecessor was so successful with wildlife in botswa na, successful with wildlife in botswana, and he is wanting to got ina botswana, and he is wanting to got in a completely different tack. with all in the report, it is very distressing when you hear some of the details for example saying that one of the elephants they are certain would have been alive when the tasks were removed. —— tasks. this kind of behaviour, it remains truly shocking, doesn't it? it is completely shocking. these are huge organised poaching syndicates and gangs that are moving down to africa. it really was only a matter of time or them to get to botswana. we have seen it in kenya and we have seen we have seen it in kenya and we have seen it in tanzania and now we are
7:25 am
seeing it here and it is alarming and it needs to be addressed quickly, not hidden away. if we were looking to any positives, maybe people are thinking the conservation is so much higher up the agenda yet not locally than not internationally. if we are looking for positives, what are they right now? you are right, there are so many different things happening in the world that are equally as important. we do have a lot of very good things happening, a lot of people involved, massive campaign is happening around the world all the time to highlight the world all the time to highlight the fact that we are losing the last elephants in the world. people are very motivated to make sure that these elephants do not die out or populations don't die out. so there are positives. but we do need to work together with the people of the countries where the people are affected. if we'd don't get their support, we are not going to manage to save the elephants. so we need to
7:26 am
work together. thank you very much for your time this morning. this is very distressing seeing the elephants in that report. coming up in the next hour — with a fall in sales and a slump in advertising, steph will be finding out what the future holds for our much—loved local newspapers. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. i'm alice salfield. a bbc london investigation has exposed property management companies helping customers to cheat the law on short lettings. london hosts are only allowed to rent out their homes on a short—term basis for a maximum of 90 nights a year unless they have planning permission. but some companies were found advising landlords on how to break the law and dupe the rental website airbnb by setting up fake listings in order to go above the legally allowed limit.
7:27 am
companies that apparently know what the rules are and are telling people, "you don't need to worry, we can find ways around these rules, there are ways around these rules," it is absolutely shocking. it undermines everything we were told about how short—let accommodation would work. it's really deeply dispiriting. you can see more on that story tonight on inside out london at 7:30pm on bbc one. suspected drug dealers are having their cars taken away as part of a crackdown in east london. tower hamlets council and the police have teamed up on a new strategy in which detectives are given tip—offs about vehicles monitored on cctv. three cars have been stopped and one confiscated in the past week. a ban on adverts forjunk food across london's public transport network has come into force this morning. posters promoting products high in fat, salt and sugar are no longer allowed. but brands and restaurants are allowed to show their healthier products. the move is aimed at
7:28 am
tackling childhood obesity. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, there are severe delays on the overground between gospel oak and barking because of power supply problems. for passengers using thameslink, there are urgent track repairs at denmark hill, so some lines are blocked meaning possible delays and diversions. this is the picture on the m25 clockwise. it's busier than usual from junction 21 for the m1 tojunction 17 after a crash earlier. and in aldgate, commercial street is closed northbound for emergency gas works. now, the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. well, it was a beautifully gloriously sunny, but unseasonably warm weekend. temperatures yesterday between 17 and 19 celsius. more of the same today. plenty of sunshine, and, yes, we're hanging on to the warm air. but first thing this morning, under the clear skies last night, it is pretty chilly out there. temperatures very close to zero, so you mayjust get a little bit
7:29 am
of frost first thing. it won't last for long, though. as you can see, barely any cloud at all to speak of today, just blue sky and sunshine and temperatures up at 18 celsius. now, very similar conditions overnight as well to last night. under clear skies, the temperatures dropping close to zero. so, again, tomorrow morning, you may just see a sparkle or two of frost. the minimum away from central london around —1 or —2, but another bright start and, indeed, more of the same tomorrow. blue skies, sunshine, temperatures up in the high teens, but you'll notice from wednesday, a bit more cloud around, could see temperatures start to drop a little. something a little more seasonable as we head through the rest of the week and into the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. see you soon. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's
7:30 am
main stories from bbc news. olivia colman has won best actress at this year's oscars. she picked up the academy award for her portrayal of queen anne in the film the favourite. and she made a great speech. the other main winners at the ceremony overnight were rami malek, who won best actor for his portrayal of freddie mercury in bohemian rhapsody, and green book, a story about race in 1960s america, which picked up the award for best picture. to be in this category with these extraordinary women and, glenn close, you happy my idle for so long. and this is not how i wanted it to be. and i think you are amazing —— you have been my idle. i love you all. it will have that speech as well as some other key moments will stop we will be live on the red carpet. we'll take you through the rest of the day's newshour. theresa may will meet
7:31 am
european leaders, including germany's angela merkel, at a summit in egypt today, as she continues to seek changes to her brexit deal. the prime minister wants extra legal promises regarding the future of the irish border. but she's also facing pressure at home to rule out leaving the eu without an agreement. mps will vote again on the deal by march the 12th. sex education will be compulsory across all secondary schools in england from next year, with pupils as young as four being taught about relationships. it's part of new government guidelines being published today, which make relationships and health education part of the curriculum for all ages. the inquests into the deaths of 21 people who were killed by two ira bombs in birmingham in 1974 will reopen this morning. six men who were jailed for the pub bombings served 17 years behind bars, before their convictions were quashed. the hearings are expected to last for nine weeks. the duke and duchess of sussex have met moroccan schoolgirls in the atlas mountains, during their last official foreign
7:32 am
tour before they become parents. meghan had a henna tattoo, which is intended to bring luck, painted on her left hand. the couple's three day tour of the country ends today. a brand new news programme begins tonight, on the newly launched bbc scotland channel. it's called the nine, and will be presented by rebecca curran and martin geissler. the hour—long programme will present news from around the world from a scottish perspective. researchers in antarctica are searching for the world's oldest ice — to help them better understand climate change. norwegian scientists are the latest team to join the search and will spend up to four years looking for a site to extract an ice core, which was formed 1.5 million years ago. it will then be studied to help experts predict future variations in temperature and weather patterns. logic would dictate that the oldest ice would be the deepest eyes.
7:33 am
logic would dictate that the oldest ice would be the deepest eyeslj ice would be the deepest eyes.” think it would, but neither of us are scientists. —— ice. it was pretty acas chelsea training today, i would it was pretty acas chelsea training today, iwould imagine. a it was pretty acas chelsea training today, i would imagine. a frosty atmosphere. who decides who stays on the pitch, is it the player or the manager? of course it is the manager? of course it is the manager? or is it? clearly not. it should be the manager. but when the player refuses to be subbed, we will show you what happened yesterday. manchester city have beaten chelsea on penalties to win the efl cup. but the match was overshadowed by an exchange between chelsea's manager maurizio sarri and his goalkeeper, with the player refusing to be substituted. joe lynskey reports. this is the remarkable moment a player stayed on the pitch while his manager got closer to leaving the club. chelsea's goalkeeper kepa arrizabalaga was being substituted, ta ken off for a teammate who specialises
7:34 am
in saving penalties. but instead he refused to come off. maurizio sarri lost control. a manager's decision overruled by his team. kepa stayed in goal for a shoot—out to decide this efl cup final. but his mind had wandered enough to let sergio aguero slip a shot right through him. david luiz then tried to take the pressure in his long—ranging in stride. with this miss he gave manchester city the advantage. they sealed the silverware with raheem sterling's emphatic flourish. it could be the first of four trophies for city in one season. but this final will be remembered for one extraordinary exchange. chelsea addressed the issue in a tweet, saying... joe lynskey, bbc news. interesting. this is sarri's calmer response after the game. it was a big misunderstanding.
7:35 am
because by phone i understood that he had a cramp. and so i didn't want the goalkeeper to go to the penalties in that physical condition. i realised the situation only after three, four minutes when the doctor arrived and he came to the bench. in the meantime, i wanted caballero on the pitch. what will happen back, i wonder? yesterday's big match between manchester united and liverpool didn't live up to expectation. it ended up a goalless draw — the first between these two teams at old trafford in the premier league. the point means liverpool return to the top of the table. arsenal are up to fourth after beating southampton 2—0 at home thanks to goals from alexandre lacazette and henrikh mkhitaryan. the result means arsenal a point
7:36 am
ahead of manchester united who are fifth. brendan rodgers is the favourite to replace claude puel at leicester city, but he may wait to win another scottish premiership first. his celtic side are still eight points clear thanks to a 4—1 win over motherwell. midfielder odsonne eduoard scored twice, including that stylish free kick. rangers are still second after a 5—0 win at hamilton. scott arfield got the pick of the goals from five different scorers. ireland survived a scare against the side bottom of the six nations table, italy, but they did emerge with a bonus—point win in rome. the italians had a lead at half—time, but the reigning champions eventually made their quality show, scoring four tries. it's two wins out of three for ireland. for italy, it's now 20 consecutive six nations defeats. in cardiff, england's women made up for the disappointment of england's men by thrashing wales in the women's six nations. they scored nine tries a 51—12 victory to go back to the top of the table. sarah bern and jess breach both scored two tries each. nat sivver has given england's women a chance against india in the second of three one—day internationals. she came in at 14/3 in mumbai,
7:37 am
wickets kept tumbling but she made 85 as they were bowled out for 161. india have just started their run chase. a win would give the hosts the series. dan evans has missed out on his first atp tour title. he lost to moldova's radu albot in the delray beach open final. evans did win five of six games to claim the opening set. the match went into a decider set where evans failed to convert three match points. he then made a double fault on championship point. dan da n eva ns dan evans famously has a clever tattoo. i think it is something like" every saint has a past, every sinner has a future". even if you have this quoted it we like it. exactly. that is the thing about who
7:38 am
is in charge. there is almost no interview in which that question is not appropriate. manager, interview in which that question is notappropriate. manager, player. presenters on television. brexit negotiations. i can see someone you could ask this question to right now. who is in charge? the first shake—up to sex education lessons in 20 years will see children as young as four taught about relationships, keeping safe online, and looking after their own mental health. in secondary schools, pupils will be taught about the risks which arise from sharing private photos. the lessons are compulsory and will come into effect in classrooms across england next year. let's talk to the education secretary damian hinds who's in our westminster studio. thank you very much. compulsory, why? compulsory because they are all children growing up, that all children growing up, that all children growing up have the opportunity to discuss and find out about these important issues in the
7:39 am
world they are growing up in. it is important to keep them safe in terms of their activity online as they get older, as they are growing up. but we wa nt older, as they are growing up. but we want them to be prepared for the aduu we want them to be prepared for the adult world. they start in primary school, the context of relationships, you know, in your own family, with friends, and taking turns and sharing and kindness, and that develops. in secondary you start to talk about the child, the young person as a potential partner and parikh themselves. right. if pa rents and parikh themselves. right. if pa re nts wa nt and parikh themselves. right. if parents want to opt out, and then you are discussing this in parliament later. if they want to t parliament later. if they want to opt out there will be no option to do that with a leather is an option to do that. there is a long—standing option to withdraw your child from sex education. relationships education is different and health education is different and health education is different and health education is different. from the sex education is different. from the sex education aspect of this you will be able to withdraw your child is up to able to withdraw your child is up to a year, 3 cents before they turned 16. it is right if a child wants to sex education before they reach the
7:40 am
age of consent, before they reached the age 16, they should have that opportunity. that is a long—standing right which are still there.” understand that one of the reasons you are doing is has been, of course, a huge change in the past ten yea rs course, a huge change in the past ten years or so about what happens online and what material children may be able to access. but why are you going towards children and pa rents you going towards children and parents rather than the online companies and what is on there, chasing up about? i think you have to do both. we have the online harms white paper coming out soon and various other moves to make sure that what is on the internet, that children are being suitably protected. the internet is this massive thing. you will never suitably control everything, as it were. we also need young people growing up to be as resilient as possible, to be discerning and discriminating in how to use the internet, understand how other
7:41 am
people might behave on the internet, online, particularly sometimes if they are anonymous or they could be pretending to be something they are not. these are really important things for children and young people to be able to discuss and find out how to keep themselves a. you will be looking at children aged four. what is the real change that parents will see, parents will see, teachers will see, parents will see, teachers will see? i am not sure ages four vaipulu much change. it could face the gradual buildup amid talk about relationships education —— four or five. we are to get at being kind, nice to people, how you into rats, taking turns in games. —— how you interact. as you grow older and start to talk about the concept of consent as how it relates to young children, giving permission for things and how you might withdraw
7:42 am
permission. it is a building block for you talk about in the conflict issues around consent and so on that happen in secondary school. as for the change, i don't think talking about kindness and taking turns, i do think that will be a new thing for children in school. it shows how that works into the buildup of that relationship as you grow older. let us talk about a little bit about brexit. i love the ironic smile on yourface. we brexit. i love the ironic smile on your face. we know brexit. i love the ironic smile on yourface. we know the brexit. i love the ironic smile on your face. we know the vote is brexit. i love the ironic smile on yourface. we know the vote is being pushed back another week. is that the right thing to do? and will it make a difference? yes. what we need to do is get this deal landed. there isa to do is get this deal landed. there is a very good deal on the table that the prime minister has negotiated with the european union. it delivers on brexit, it is balance. it does so in a way that works really well for trade, it ends free movement, it works for industries... as it stands you can't get that through parliament. sorry.
7:43 am
it is an important part of the a nswer to it is an important part of the answer to the question. is it right to push back a little bit? yes, it is. because we need to make sure we can get that deal over the line and to do that, because of the big defeat we had an parliament, and the brady amendment, which showed that if we can sort the issues around the circle backstop they actually there isa circle backstop they actually there is a majority in parliament to pass this deal, it is important we get those reassurances in place about the backstop. that is what the prime minister is working on. will that be donein minister is working on. will that be done in time? we are hearing rumours about a two—month delay, or perhaps from the eu's point of view, a two—year delay. from the eu's point of view, a two-year delay. these delays that people are suggesting, they don't actually solve anything. theyjust prolong the issues. didn't give any more certainty to business. they don't resolve any of the dilemmas of the trade—offs involved, inevitably, in this. we have to face up to those trade—offs. we have to get the deal
7:44 am
done. better to do it now in time for the 29th of march, rather than any kind of delay. what will you do if there is a delay? i'm not banking on there being a delay. we are working hard to make sure we leave the european union on the 29th of march. a big job of work to do in the meantime on this question around the meantime on this question around the backstop and making sure that we are continuing to put the case for why the deal itself, and i sometimes think we don't talk enough about the actual deal, we talk about be relatively small aspects, but the really big thing, the big deal is a good dealfor britain. we need to keep on making that case. damian hinds, education secretary, thank you very much are tied. the prime minister is talking about that. it has just minister is talking about that. it hasjust gone to minister is talking about that. it has just gone to 7:45 a.m.. what is the deal with the weather? at kew gardens. look at this picture this morning. how beautiful is that? how lucky are you to be there? not a bad
7:45 am
day to start my monday morning in amongst all this dutiful scenery of kew gardens. amongst the daffodils which are now springing up. we have seen which are now springing up. we have seen temperatures for over the past you days. we started seborrhoeic on a fairly chilly note. —— we started february. spring begins properly for us at the end of the week. we have seen us at the end of the week. we have seen directors saw over the past few days. on thursday, we saw scotland rate their february temperature record. wales broke bears yesterday. we saw temperatures peaked at 19.1dc —— they broke bears. this broke the previous record by some margin. it could get higher than that as well. the night is still chilly. you will be casting aside yourjacket for
7:46 am
something lighter as go through the day. by the end of the week. temperatures will drop closer to where they should be athlete the things turning cooler and windy with rain at times as well. not much rain today. you can see the pressure to the north of scotland. some east end fog tonight, parts of north—east england, west midlands and east wales likely to see fog to hamper the rest of the morning commute. that will clear by the end of the day. for most of you, it will be a day. for most of you, it will be a day of blue sky. sunshine a bit hazy to the far north and west banks to the cloud but could see temperatures in northern ireland up to around 17 degrees, not far from the record. in northern ireland up to around 17 degrees, not farfrom the record. it is balanced by the colder nights and no exception tonight. temperatures
7:47 am
close to freezing just about anywhere across the country. the big difference between day and night. tomorrow, missed an fog likely, but for most, another dry day, another sunny day, just a bit more cloud in the far north—west of the country. it will be a day of exceptional temperatures again with 18 or 19 celsius possible. wednesday morning, a frosty start for a few, but fog around for the morning commute. some of the worst of the fog and it will be across parts of england and wales where it could linger to around lunchtime or early afternoon. it will break up most of you. a reasonable sunny day for most of you. temperatures still into the teens. things will turn a little cooler later this week, but still well above the average for the time of year, which is only about seven to nine degrees.
7:48 am
look at those that deal. it looks magical. see you later. we could wander off and have a cup of tea. when the company behind the daily mirror bought the daily express and the daily star a year ago, it became the biggest news publisher in the uk. this morning, we find out how it's doing. steph's got all the details. the results are out this morning. this is a company called reach. as well as those newspapers you mentioned, it owns ok! magazine and some of the uk's biggest local papers. today, it's a familiar story — sales are down again. operating profits are up. let's talk now to the boss, simon fox, chief executive of reach, who joins us from our london newsroom. thank you forjoining us. if their money still to be made from these papers? very much so. we havejust announced the good fit of results,
7:49 am
our operating profit was up 17% to 145 million, we made a lot of cash, so we are 145 million, we made a lot of cash, so we are happy with the year and we think these are a good set of results and newspapers are going to be around for a long, long time. how are you making money? we have seen circulation figures fall for newspapers, and looking at your figures it is difficult to make them online to offset that fall. today, 1.7 million people will buy one of our papers up and down the country, so our papers up and down the country, so there is still a lot of people buying papers and really enjoying what they find inside them. at the same time, there is really 7 million people each month to come on to one of our website and we make money from those websites by putting adverts on the pages, and last year we adverts on the pages, and last year we made £100 million in digital advertising revenue. as what we are doing, balancing the growing digital revenue from those news website with print, which is declining, but
7:50 am
slowly, and will be around for many years. as i said in the introduction, you bought a number of national titles in the last year. do you think you will continue with the same number of national titles or will we start to see some of them closing? no, i think will we start to see some of them closing? no, ithink we will we start to see some of them closing? no, i think we bought them because they were profitable, successful and by coming together without other titles, we are a business of real scale and scale does matter because it is not an easy industry to be in, but they have got a very long lifespan. i think much longer than people imagine. we have talked about national titles. looking at the local paper side of things, have been various reports that the government did a review is saying they are crucial to democracy, that you have had to close some local people. what is the future? we have closed just a few free titles. we still have a look at what —— a lot
7:51 am
of local pay for titles. we have opened digital only newsrooms, we opened digital only newsrooms, we opened leads in leeds live, in edinburgh and lancashire. we are still investing in regional journalism. the government is right to be concerned. like all —— local newspapers play a vital role. one of the things we have been doing is collaborating with the bbc on local democracy reporting and that is a great king, and we are going to have to look at work creatively to make sure to look at work creatively to make sure that our local titles are around in the future. thank you very much for your time this morning. quite a lot of our national newspapers there. yes, and so many of us to do this job started in local newspapers or radio as well, so local newspapers or radio as well, so it is interesting. we will talk oscars now. while you were sleeping ——
7:52 am
olivia colman grabbed the headlines winning best actress at the oscars overnight, the ceremony was once again full of glamour with a few celebrities getting people talking on social media. our correspondent dan johnson is on the red carpet. spike lee has a lot to say because he has had an interesting evening. he won for black clansmen in the best adapted screenplay, that meant he was on stage, he was able to accept an oscar, his first in more than 35 years in the business. people say that was long overdue. he told me that it is overdue. adulation is, spike. he has had a lot to say about the make—up of the academy and the sorts of films that get recognised by the oscars. there was some suggestion earlier this evening that they may have been unhappy with green book having won best picture. there have been some controversy about that film, about whether the family of the black musician who that is about what
7:53 am

7:57 am
advising landlords on how to break the law and dupe the rental website airbnb by setting up fake listings in order to go above the legally allowed limit. companies that apparently know what the rules are and are telling people, "you don't need to worry, we can find ways around these rules, there are ways around these rules," it is absolutely shocking. it undermines everything we were told about how short—let accommodation would work. it's really deeply dispiriting. you can see more on that story tonight on inside out london at 7:30pm on bbc one. suspected drug dealers are having their cars taken away as part of a crackdown in east london. tower hamlets council and the police have teamed up on a new strategy in which detectives are given tip—offs about vehicles monitored on cctv. three cars have been stopped and one confiscated in the past week. a ban on adverts forjunk food across london's public transport network has come into force this morning. posters promoting products

7:59 am
we're hanging on to the warm air. but first thing this morning, under the clear skies last night, it is pretty chilly out there. temperatures very close to zero, so you mayjust get a little bit of frost first thing. it won't last for long, though. as you can see, barely any cloud at all to speak of today, just blue sky and sunshine and temperatures up at 18 celsius. now, very similar conditions overnight as well to last night. under clear skies, the temperatures dropping close to zero. so, again, tomorrow morning, you may just see a sparkle or two of frost. the minimum away from central london around —1 or —2, but another bright start and, indeed, more of the same tomorrow. blue skies, sunshine, temperatures up in the high teens, but you'll notice from wednesday, a bit more cloud around, could see temperatures start to drop a little. something a little more seasonable as we head through the rest of the week and into the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. see you soon.

our top story: the british star olivia colman has won best actress at this year's oscars. she picked up the academy award for her portrayal of queen anne in the film the favourite. and quite possibly made the best speech. the oscars ceremony took place overnight. the other main winners were rami malek — he won best actor for his portrayal of freddie mercury in bohemian rhapsody — while best film went to green book, a story about race in 1960s america. from los angeles, david willis reports. curtain up on the 91st oscars and you could feel the footstomping rhythm of change. # buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise...# queen's new line—up filling a void made by the absence of a host for only the second time in oscars' history. adding to the sense of uncertainty, no clear favourite in several key categories. olivia colman! when olivia colman's name was called, she could hardly get up. her depiction of an ailing queen anne in the favourite trouncing that of glenn close, who now has a seven oscar nominations without a win.

8:04 am
is on the red carpet at the vanity fair party for us this morning. good morning, what a night. yeah, what a night and a long way to go yet, the vanity fair party is only just starting and i got hold of the last man in the queue, billy porter. what's going on! what is going on, you are late, where have you been?” had to change back into my ball gown. show us. see this, itook had to change back into my ball gown. show us. see this, i took the picture in this and then i had to strip down to something a bit more conservative to host the red carpet. i have read that you set alight the red carpet. did i do that? somebody said that. i was walking all night and then! said that. i was walking all night and then i was in the ceremony. —— but i was working. how was it? amazing, it was great, they didn't need a host. you think it worked? i didn't missa need a host. you think it worked? i didn't miss a host, that's all i said. it kicked off with queen, what a performance. amazing, ijust got
8:05 am
in in time for that. and what about olivia colman, our great british success of the night. amazing! amazing! she is so funny, i can't wait to see her play the queen. have you not seen it? i haven't seen season three. oh, the round. you know, clare foy is my favourite. and who plays that sister, that girl, she's good! yeah, i love the crown. what do you think of their mix of the oscars? i think the stories are releva nt the oscars? i think the stories are relevant to the time. people are responding. because that's how we move culture forward. arts has always been at the forefront of speaking to people's souls and being able to change the molecular structure of a human being. and maybe change their opinion about something. that's what makes me
8:06 am
happy about the work that was rewarded tonight. did green book deserve to win? of course! everyone deserved to win. enjoy the party, have fun. more people arriving, they are still turning up to the vanity fair party. this is one of the biggest and most prestigious after parties, iam biggest and most prestigious after parties, i am sure this will go on for some time. i have talked to some people who said they are going to madonna's party after this, a long night ahead. goodness me! thank you. theresa may says mps will have another chance to approve or reject her brexit deal by the 12th of march — just over two weeks before britain is due to leave the eu. she was speaking in egypt where a summit of eu and arab leaders is taking place. our europe reporter gavin lee is in sharm el—sheikh. in the sunshine but i wonder what the atmosphere is like in those corridors as theresa may tries to have some of those conversations.
8:07 am
it's very different. geopolitically, it's unique to have 21 arab state leaders, the first ever meeting with eu leaders in egypt. the saudi king, for example, and question still about jamal khashoggi, the journalist killed in the turkish embassy. national interests seem to be coming first with countries, particular britain, being fully aware that there is no one issue between all of these 40 odd leaders that will dominate. migration is on the agenda but brexit does get air time. theresa may has meetings with jean—claude juncker, the head time. theresa may has meetings with jean—claudejuncker, the head of the european commission, the dutch prime minister, irish prime minister. the senseis minister, irish prime minister. the sense is that she is telling them and told donald tusk, the president of the european council, that the 12th of march will be the meaningful vote. reaction, iwas 12th of march will be the meaningful vote. reaction, i was told by mark rutter, the dutch prime minister that he is not optimistic. he thinks no deal is looking more likely. sebastien kirk, the austrian chancellor said that there should be a delay for brexit, perhaps up to a
8:08 am
year. he doesn't believe that the impasse will leave anything but a cliff edge. the sense is that the leaders will talk to theresa may in the sidelines. optics are important. theresa may needs to be seen to be doing something and most believe they are compromised enough. they wa nt to they are compromised enough. they want to touch the withdrawal agreement but on the sidelines they can look at offering something to reassure over the backstop, but will that be enough? thank you. sex education will be compulsory across all secondary schools in england from next year, with pupils as young as four being taught about relationships. it's part of new government guidelines being published today, as chi chi izundu reports. internet use and social media are being blamed for the added pressure children now feel, especially as teenagers. and the education secretary wants schools to do more to help with both their physical and mental well—being. damian hinds says positive relationships are connected to good mental health, so it's appropriate to make health education universal, alongside relationship and sex education.
8:09 am
lessons will start from 2020 in england, and teachers will decide how often to hold the age—appropriate classes. it's the first update to sex education in schools since 2000. children as young as four will be taught things like the importance of getting enough sleep, spending time outdoors, and different family models, which could include same—sex couples. students aged 11 and older will build on primary classes to learn how to spot common mental health issues like depression and anxiety in both themselves and others. support networks around female genital mutilation, and the dangers of sexting and sharing private photos. but this move isn't without controversy. and today parliament will be debating the guidelines after more than 100,000 people signed a petition. chi chi izundu, bbc news. the inquests into the deaths of 21 people who were killed by two ira bombs in birmingham in 1974 will reopen this morning. six men who were jailed

for the pub bombings served 17 years behind bars, before their convictions were quashed. the hearings are expected to last for nine weeks. the duke and duchess of sussex have met moroccan schoolgirls in the atlas mountains, during their last official foreign tour before they become parents. meghan had a henna tattoo, which is intended to bring luck, painted on her left hand. you can see it there. the couple's three—day tour of the country ends today. researchers in antarctica are searching for the world's oldest ice to help them better understand climate change. norwegian scientists are the latest team to join the search and will spend up to four years looking for a site to extract an ice core, which was formed 1.5 million years ago. it will then be studied to help experts predict future variations in temperature and weather patterns. it is eight to 10am. weather and sport coming up shortly. in 2015, a new law was introduced to protect domestic abuse victims
8:11 am
who have been subjected to intense emotional and psychological manipulation — otherwise known as coercive control. now, for the first time it will be used as a defence, in an appeal against a murder conviction. sally challen has been in prison for eight years after killing her husband. if she's successful, her case could have long—lasting implications. this is sally's story. in 2011, sally challen was found guilty of the murder of her husband, richard, by striking him with a hammer 20 times richard, by striking him with a hammer20 times in richard, by striking him with a hammer 20 times in the family home in surrey a year earlier. she was sentenced to 18 years in prison. the prosecution argued she had acted out of jealousy over prosecution argued she had acted out ofjealousy over richard's repeated affairs. but her two sons claimed their father had exercised a form of supreme their father had exercised a form of supreme psychological control over sally that eventually drove her to kill him. last year, their legal tea m kill him. last year, their legal team successfully persuaded the court of appeal to hear a challenge to sally's conviction of murder on the grounds that she was a victim of
8:12 am
a kind of extreme domestic abuse known as coercive control. it's the first time such an argument will be heard. it's a new case, it's a new argument. and getting an appeal against a conviction is very difficult and the courts don't like to allow appeals, unless there really persuaded that there is something really significant that might makea something really significant that might make a difference to the outcome. on wednesday, the landmark hearing into sally's case will begin. if successful, her conviction could be downgraded to manslaughter. and given the time she is already served in prison, she could be released. we're joined by sally's son, david challen. thank you so much for coming to see us. we've heard a lot of what happened to your mum there. tell us about the verdict and all the rest of it and the appeal this week, how important is that? it's so important. it's a landmark case. recognising coercive control. the courts have shown over previous
8:13 am
yea rs courts have shown over previous years since it came into law, since 2015, that it's just notjudged with the same severity as physical abuse. in my mother's case, the abuse spans back to the age of 15 when she met our father and he was 22, that 35 to 40 yea rs of our father and he was 22, that 35 to 40 years of abuse. it affects not just our mother's life but thousands of women as well as men, who are going through this right now. we need to recognise the severity of it, so that we can stop it. 56% of young people have experienced coercive control in relationships.” imagine how this is for you, the family, and your mother. how is she? she doing ok. you know, we'rejust trying to get to wednesday. it's been a long year of waiting. it's been a long year of waiting. it's been horrific for us, as a family, as it stands, for eight years, to feel gagged and not have the ability to speak about it and not have a language of coercive control has been so significant. because it feels like you're seeing small
8:14 am
incidents after small incident but it is speculative effect of psychological abuse that controls your movement, your thought, what your movement, your thought, what you eat, what you wear, over such a long period of time, there is a level of dependency that you can't exist outside or inside a relationship after a period of time. a possible thing, but if you had had this language of coercive control, you would have been able to talk about it, report it. of course. many yea rs about it, report it. of course. many years ago this would have made a real difference to your life and her life. like our mum, we were trapped inafamily life. like our mum, we were trapped in a family where we saw this as just another toxic relationship. our mother was not afforded the protection domestic violence victims get today in society or don't get. if that was present beforehand, she would have had protection and i would have had protection and i would have had protection and i would have been able to speak out. it is important to say domestic violence organisations like women's aid they are supporting us, like caroline lucas and other mps. it is such an important moment, a watershed moment and if we miss it,
8:15 am
that's it. it's very hard to turn those tables back on a landmark verdict. anyone who supports us on the day is appreciated. you speak with remarkable composure about something which is so deeply personal. during this period of time when you have been fighting i am sure you must‘ve been by a lot of people who are seeing you as the ones who possibly have an answer to so ones who possibly have an answer to so many issues who have been around for a long time. a lot of women and men and it affects so many people. 56% of young people experience this right now. the courts are showing that they are not treating it with the same severity as physical abuse. there was a case in november, coercive control of his partner and thejudge coercive control of his partner and the judge recognised that she was a victim. but not to the severe levels, you can't see the same bruises, but what goes on up in here is the most important thing. it's important to say in this case we are
8:16 am
not justifying her important to say in this case we are notjustifying her actions. we've lost a father. i have him in my face, right now. we deserve a right to acknowledge the events that led up to acknowledge the events that led up to the event. and for her abuse to be recognised. i take my hat off to be recognised. i take my hat off to you as brothers for coming and talking about this. as charlie indicated, you will be changing lives for people. what is your advice, if you can give any, to people who are in that sort of relationship where things are going on and they are being made to do things, being controlled and coerced, is there any advice you can give them? stay strong, keep a logbook, try and speak to someone that you trust. it's hard to leave relationships. a lot of people don't understand that it's very difficult to move on. butjust tried to... bear with it, keep a logbook. that's interesting. a logbook. of all the events. people's sanity is our question is, my mother's sanity
8:17 am
sanity was questioned. he used to say, you are going mad, sally, you are making it all up. she said she believed that she was starting to make up the fact that she had written down on paper. i'm curious as to... this week must be so important to you in terms of moving on with your life. because when there's been a perceived injustice or something you think has been wrongly handled, that's a huge driverfor wrongly handled, that's a huge driver for you, obviously. wrongly handled, that's a huge driverforyou, obviously. in terms of... that awful word closure, settlement. is there a sense of that, that this is something that has to get done in order for you, your brother and other members of the family to move on in some way? yeah. i think it's important. it's not just closure, it's yeah. i think it's important. it's notjust closure, it's the right thing to do. we need to learn from the mistakes that happen and crimes that happened, as a society. and no one understands us whatsoever and no one understands us whatsoever and no one has learned anything from this, not society, not us as children. we love our father still, he not society, not us as children. we love ourfather still, he is not society, not us as children. we love our father still, he is a not society, not us as children. we love ourfather still, he is a part of our lives and we have those
8:18 am
moments with him but unfortunately he has chosen a life to capture our mother at the age of 15 and control hand that needs to be recognised and understand the events that led up to his death. not as a justification, but as understanding. if the appeal is successful, what is likely to happen? she may have served time already, what is likely to happen? she has served eight years and it would be reduced to manslaughter diminished responsibility and you usually serve half a sentence and hope it will be time served. who knows. she could be out very soon, hopefully, of course. as we say, we do not know what's happening yet. it isa do not know what's happening yet. it is a landmark verdict, that could have an impact on other cases if it went that way. everyone is throwing their arms went that way. everyone is throwing theirarms up in went that way. everyone is throwing their arms up in the air on the other side, it gives women a right to kill, which is absolute nonsense. we need to recognise victims of coercive control. why would you not wa nt to coercive control. why would you not want to recognise victims of coercive control? that is what the
8:19 am
court has a duty to do. there is so much evidence from my father's side of the family, from his oldest friends, all our statements have been put into context after the term of coercive control to help our understanding of the curative effects of psychological abuse. thank you for talking to us. —— accumulative effects. we understand it is not easy for you, we appreciate that and we look ahead to wednesday. thank you. matt is at kew gardens for us this morning with a look at the weather. you have had a lovely view. yes. peace will start to the morning here. peace will start a headbutt frost on the ground. turning point of the season. the nights are long enough for temperatures drop markedly but the temperatures will lea p to markedly but the temperatures will leap to 20 degrees by the end of the morning, compared with how we start. winter may be coming to a close but
8:20 am
it feels like late spring by the time we get to the afternoon. temperatures soaring at temperature records in february broken in scotland. and in wales we saw temperatures peak at 19.1 celsius in the west. we could see that temperature beaten again today, not just in wales but across other parts of england as well. the warm spell continues for the first half of this week but we will see things change later on and we will do some of the overnight frost and fog but daytime temperatures will drop and we could see cloud and rain returned. rain is limited to the far north of scotland and the weather front you can see on the pressure chart is only a small minority compared to most of the uk, sitting under high pressure. frost and fog around. fog at its most dense in parts of yorkshire and east england and west midlands and east wales. it will take until late morning for some to lose it

com pletely morning for some to lose it completely but most, blue skies overhead. some rain in the far north of scotla nd overhead. some rain in the far north of scotland easing away from the western isles pushing in towards orkney, getting heavy at times. sunshine across scotland may be hazy but blue skies elsewhere, 17 degrees may be in northern ireland, warmer than the past few days, maybe up to 19 in parts of north wales and other parts of central and eastern england. tonight, the nights are long enough for temperatures to tumble away quite rapidly leading to the odd mist or fog patch. temperatures close to freezing for most, another morning packing on the warm jackets for the morning commute but by the end of the morning, you will be casting it aside because temperatures will rise again. blue skies for the vast majority, more cloud in the far north of scotland but not the rain you will have of today. temperatures could hit 18 may be 19 degrees and one or two spots. tuesday may begin with fog in northern ireland and western scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland but wednesday, fog is more
8:22 am
ofan scotland but wednesday, fog is more of an issue once again, quite widespread and dense in places, especially for the south—west corner of england and india parts of south—east wales. it may take until end of lunch time before it clears —— and into parts of south—east wales. good sunny spells and perhaps temperatures not peaking as they have over the past few days, we will see them hit 15 or 16 degrees over the some parts of england and wales. we are coming to the end of february was the start of march, the meteorological start to spring and temperatures should only be about 7-9 temperatures should only be about 7—9 during the day. testimony to how warm it has been with temperatures around ten or 11 degrees above normalfor around ten or 11 degrees above normal for the around ten or 11 degrees above normalfor the time of around ten or 11 degrees above normal for the time of year. if you are enjoying the outdoors on half this week no complaints. no complaints whatsoever! that's lovely. back to the oscars. olivia colman burst into tears ofjoy as she picked up her oscar at last night's academy awards. here she is, moments
