this is bbc news — i'm geeta guru—murthy. the headlines at 6pm. for now that is all from me. the bodies of british climber tom ballard and his italian partner from monday, bbc news will be opening a pop—up have been found in pakistan — newsroom in bradford, two weeks after they as part of a project to involve last made contact. viewers and listeners in the stories we report. the home secretary, sajid javid, it's called ‘we are bradford' 7 is facing criticism for revoking the citizenship of shamima begum, and will bring a series of stories whose baby son died to the bbc that have been suggested in a camp in syria. by the residents of the city. a man has been remanded in custody as part of the process to get these charged with the murder ideas to your screen we recently ofjodie chesney in east london asked a panel of bradford residents earlier this month. for their views 7 at an event hosted by the bbc s kamal ahmed the brexit secretary accuses the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier of trying "to rerun and sabbiyah pervez. old arguments", as talks continue between the uk and eu. hi, i'm from bradford. i'm from bradford. and in rugby — wales beat scotland at murrayfield and edge towards the six nations title. we'll have full details of that and today's other big matches many people were saying that they want stories from bradford, told by the people of bradford. and we sifted through those stories and some of them are going to be presented to you during the session. now, we've put them under themes.

we are going to discuss these themes and whether or not you think they make potential story ideas. maybe you've got a different perspective, maybe you're doing something so fantastic, that you think, we should be including in our coverage. the first one, which maybe isn't a surprise from people who don't come from bradford but do you might sound a bit cliched, i would get your thoughts, this notion of multiculturalism. how important is it to the city? if you are thinking about doing something on multiculturalism on bradford, how would you think about what good would you think about what good would look like? i think we are able to sit here at people who are very accepting and able to have a conversation, and this could possibly be a good way to do that in the city. i think when people sit and talk they realise they've lived some of their lives regardless of their colour of their skin, of their gender, of their religion. and it's

till someone goes, just come and sit down, there's nothing scary here, just talk to this person, but i think those barriers get broken down. i think it's interesting when we talk about the whole kind of brexit thing, how a lot of hate crime has come out of people verbally speaking out, things that have been kind of heard or suppressed, their views about kind of migrants are people from different backgrounds living here. sol different backgrounds living here. so i think shared stories are powerful. having spaces where people can come together to actuallyjust hear stories, to understand who are you, where are you from, what makes you, where are you from, what makes you tick, how do you celebrate that particular part of your religion?” was quite struck, being from outside bradford, you quite quickly, looking at the work that we've already been doing here, it's very rich and mixed group of people in bradford. there isa group of people in bradford. there is a notion that may be from outside

bradford, bradford is basically either muslim or white and that's kind of it. is there a way of kind of reflecting on the depth of the many different groups of people who live in bradford? on the site, the quieter side, of the room! the type of thing that different cultures have brought to bradford in terms of food, music, arts, socialand community work, health work, things like that, you look at the sort of community events that go on in bradford and there is quite a lot, there's more than you might think. in some places it might be quite segregated, one area might be predominantly asian and one predominantly asian and one predominantly jamaican caribbean, one predominantly white, that's the area i grew up in, to be fair. but events that bring all the sort of people together and then sort of... barriers in terms of, like, racism and stereotypes and suffer sort of

broken down because people come together to do something they enjoy, entertaining and be together. you love being in bradford because you can be yourself, express the dour back yourself, have the spaces. do you feel that in bradford you can be yourself, can you express your sexuality, can you express your identity without fear?” sexuality, can you express your identity without fear? i think in bradford there is a bit of a to—do that does need to be broken that you can be whoever you want, but i think i'm only safe to speak about my own problems in a safe space, i think there needs to be more of that in bradford. even though we boast this multicultural and diverse aspect in society that we are in, i think when it goes to things like the lgbtq + community, we kind of shoe that away and try to focus on the ethnicity and try to focus on the ethnicity and things like that. there are very few cities in the uk were lgbt key people can feel safe walking the streets openly. —— lgbtq people.

that's an issue we need to tackle andi that's an issue we need to tackle and i feel proud to come from a city where they counsel themselves are being, they are spearheading opening the doors to those conversations and saying these events are going on at these people are doing serious, incredible work to help other people of bradford. —— the counsel themselves are spearheading it. so i know that people do struggle, there isa know that people do struggle, there is a loud voice coming from the people in power saying, be out and proud. my granddad came to this country in the 70s and he was the first asian man to buy a house in keighley. he was the first asian man to own a business in keighley, he had his windows bashed in constantly while trying to keep his business afloat. then why people started to move out because another asian family moved in. then more white people moved out because more asian families moved in. the reason that they wanted to be close to people they wanted to be close to people they were related to your friends with so then the community built and when people were like oh, that's where so—and—so lives, i want to live with my friends. that's why we

have these pockets. i don't think you will have to kind of mix a bit more, ijust don't think that's the way forward. i think, let people live where they want to live. my mum always talks about how they used to be, she is to live with her family and now it is predominantly asian. but the eastern european people down the street, they play with the little pakistani boys of the street and no one says, you can play with him. just a few months ago i was sworn at and have racist abuse by a ten—year—old on a bike. he went past me. and it was because i was wearing an agent and fit. my dress, when we are talking about identity, my identity changes every day depending on who i'm with and where i'm at. —— it was because i was wearing an asian outfit. when i'm in london, i'm a true northerner. when i'm in bradford, the identity changes. that's the point. you don't have to have one fixed identity, because depending on the group of people, the setting, the identity changes.

and it's ok to do that. when you think about what might be described as public services, education, health in bradford, do you think positive or that's a real problem?” think nhs, i just positive or that's a real problem?” think nhs, ijust think my gp. and living in the city, there are so many of us that live in the city, just too much. so each gp is now overflowing with the amount of people they have. you go for a gp appointment and you're waiting for 40 minutes to an hour. and it's hard to get one. and when you try to go somewhere outside the gp, access another place that might be able to help you better, you get nothing. there is negatives. but i think that is going to be in every city, as well. if were nhs, we are talking the uk. there is small... yes, my gp, wherel the uk. there is small... yes, my gp, where i can look ahead. and i've got nerve damage to my feet for three years, and the nhs has been very... it's been as supportive as

it can be but i was in hospital last year and it can be but i was in hospital last yearandl it can be but i was in hospital last year and i could notice the gaps, but the nhs fill the gaps in to make it as pleasant as possible.” but the nhs fill the gaps in to make it as pleasant as possible. i chair a patient‘s‘ group for a very large practice and i know the challenges that the practice has in terms of for example recruiting gps. and train staff. so if we're talking about bradford, the district is facing difficulties around attracting new teachers, new gps, people working in health, different services that we have got. if you're thinking of a single sort of story idea, imagine you're sort of news editing some bbc news programme, what would be the one story from bradford you would like us to do?” think i would want someone to focus on all of the ways in which people in bradford are kind of taking control of the narrative of the

city, because we've talked about a lot of different problems in bradford today but for each of those kind of issues there is, like, a group of people that's taking back control and doing something to solve theissue, control and doing something to solve the issue, whether that's speakers' corner and doing things about youth and mental health, whether that's taking control of buildings because fio taking control of buildings because no one else is investing, just the people are taking control of things. i think we are more than northerners who say no and complain about the weather, i think i'm not much older than scout but there are young people here in the future, deindustrialisation has happened, we need to accept that, we need to incorporate the future bradford because the north is so much more than nose and still yours and things like that. we have so much to offer beyond heritage. it's good to have heritage but we need to look at what young people can do and pass the torch. i think i'd like to see more,

i guess integration with the people of bradford and especially the youth. i think it's really important because we are doing so much and there's much talent that is not known about that could... that is such a big deal, and also the creativity side of it. i think a good focus would be identity and especially young people, so young people being so true in themselves and whether that's having safe spaces were you can completely be yourself and not having a fear.” would really love for the bbc to focus on the architecture and the beautiful, superb buildings we have got in this city. right from the houses to salt nose to the town hall, public spaces like the park which has been voted as one of the

best part in the north, i would like that kind of feature which actually will make people outside of bradford say, i want to go and visit bradford. hello. there is some turbulent weather in this forecast, through the weekend and into next week as well. some of us have been seeing some snow already today, across parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england — in the form of showers, some sunshine in between. those showers blowing across on strong northwest or westerly winds. showers will tend to fade as the day wears on and our eyes turn to the southwest, and our next atlantic system arriving for this evening and overnight. the rest of the weekend, it is going to stay windy. it will feel quite cold especially into northern parts of england. some rain and further snow, but also some spells of sunshine. through this evening, cloud and rain pushing its way north and eastwards. much of england and wales, some hill
