tonight at ten — theresa may writes to all mp5, setting out in stark already we have received hundreds of stories and i promise you this terms the uk's options on brexit. every single one of them will be looked at but how did we get she returned to downing here in the first place? street from brussels with a delay to brexit day — and under huge pressure to break the westminster deadlock. david sillito can explain. we are now at the moment of decision, and i will make every effort to ensure that we are able can i ask you a quick question is that is ok? to leave with a deal can you say hello to the camera? and move our country forward. hello. hello, i am from the bbc. they are making a little the labour leader urged her to accept her deal‘s failure — and to allow mps to vote on a series film and bradford. of different proposals. that is brilliant, thank you very the prime minister has had much. two and a half years and he has had all to undertake these negotiations, sorts of responses. hello. chao. hasn't done so. it's time for parliament to take over. that is lovely. brilliant, thank you with mrs may appearing to accept this evening that her deal may not have enough support, we'll look at the options now very much. one more time for me facing both the prime minister and parliament. please? come on. one think he had to do was reassure people that this was not once again

media knocking bradford. so many unique stories and unique people that is what we are going to be doing are bradford and march. nice to meet you both. when i see bradford on the news i often see poverty. crime. the grooming, the guns, the rape. it is never anything to do with achievements. my my name is rosemond. josh. this is we are bradford and it began with a meeting at city hall, bbc‘s editorial director and a group of young people talking about the news and bradford. there is hundreds of people in this city that had incredibly positive stories to tell. there are so many things that have changed my life and bradford which i would not have been able to do and london. iam not i am not moving out for unity. i am staying and bradford. i am going to show these people what i am made of. and this is just the start of the conversations. coinciding with an exhibition on the topic of the science museum, bbc news is setting up shop and bradford to try a new approach to news.

so what is happening is that the bbc is bringing its resources here to help local people tell their own stories. this is not about sugar—coating the truth or being a pr exercise for the city. it is simply an attempt to paint a broader and perhaps a fairer picture of bradford. are you from bradford? where are you from? she is from bradford and she and others want to help people paint the bigger picture. when you think of bradford in the news what do you think lately we are doing a project called bbc we bradford. we are shifting the news on tv and we want to make sure that people from bradford get to tell their own stories. i love the diversity, i do not know how come there are seven different and bradford. —— there are so many different cultures and bradford. the buildings, the music, some overlooked part of bradford life, whatever people come up with, what we are bradford will be.

we are in little horton and this is where i grew up. i remember the streets fondly, my aunt lived down the road and i live to streets across. my dad used to have a corner shop to streets down and that corner shop was part of the community and it was really important growing up because without knowing it i was being exposed to so many different people and so many different cultures and that is what bradford is about, it is a melting pot of so many amazing people who had so much to offer. bradford has its challenges like any other city but unfortunately it is becoming an finesse for this challenge is. —— and finesse for those challenges. but really this city is made up of so many amazing people doing so much to tackle those issues. reading and writing levels in bradford are consistently below

the national average and now i went to see one project that is trying really hard to boost literacy and aspirations. the gift of a book. what have we here? arriving through the post every month from a charity aiming to improve literacy here and bradford. a little boy is testing out... each story they read as a building block for their and imagination and vocabulary. there is a shark in the park! their mum grew up in pakistan and her parents did not read to her but story time is now a staple part of her life. when i started getting the books from imagination library, then, to see how good the books are and somebodyjust giving me these really good gifts so then i start to read regularly. in bradford only half of five and six—year—olds reached the reading standards, which is well

below the national average. linked to poverty which presents themselves enter generationally so why would you blame a child in those circumstances to believe that reading, writing and all the sorts of things will make a difference to them because they did not make a difference to their parents and grandparents. hi, this is ana maria. at the school in a bid to boost literacy and aspirations... best. pupils are partnered up with mentor as he read to them via the internet. it is important to me because i am helping a child learn how to read and it is seeing her improve and at school i enjoyed reading and helping a child read and develop in their reading skills, it is very rewarding. for the past five months, ana maria and nazim had been reading together but this is the first time they are readings side by side. there are huge challenges

with literacy in bradford but the future of the students here is yet to be written and with the help they can only improve. may the 11th 1985 is a date no bradfordian would ever forget, the home of bradford city was the setting for one of the worst disasters in football history, 56 people died when a wooden stand caught fire during a match. this man was a police officer on duty at a time. it was like a wall of heat that you just kept running back to grab people because they were losing their breath in here and they were obviously smoldering and some of them were on fire and we were just pulling them out, going back in for more. it was not a normal day because bradford had one be read

and they were being presented with the cup. —— had won the read and were being presented with the cup. so it was a bigger crowd i suspect the normal but a good atmosphere. we literally ran across the pitch and point people over the wall and it was like raining black bitumen and it was very thick black smoke. and it shot across the roof. and at that time we were told by the radio operator to get out. i did not sleep quite well for a long time afterwards but some of them, were affected quite badly. some of them just brushed it off and got on with it. and that was grand, pretty grand. pretty grim. —— pretty grand.

there was a charity being set up and i remember being told money was pouring in, pouring in, and there were vigils outside of the ground and we went to a few of those and sit and talk to people. there were a few who came and put their arms around you. i think we look after each other and there is a good community spirit, isn't there. you are watching we are bradford. the bbc have been looking at more fuller and fairer way to portray this incredible city with the stories coming from those who live here. you have all heard i'm sure of a pop—up restaurant. this is a pop—up broadcasting centre and already many arms of the bbc had successfully broadcast from here. we have been inundated by hundreds and hundreds of story ideas and we made a pledge that we would promise to look at every single one and hopefully we are going to get to cover quite a few in the weeks ahead. but for me, the hallmark has really been the fact that we have met some proper bradford folk. come with me because i am

going to introduce you to james and chris who are doing just a little thing, they will roll across the atlantic and why doing thatjames? it is a challenge. we want to inspire others to basically do a challenge basically. it is a great thing to do because when you set off off on your crossing, you're really going to be sorted celebrating bradford well, aren't you? that is the plan, a good news story for bradford. it does not get enough good news and that is exactly why we do it. you know what you are putting yourself up against, you will not be home for christmas and be up to 100 feet of waves etc, etc and it will be a tough challenge for you. absolutely and we took all of that into consideration and started in 2015 with this and we are well aware of everything that is involved and we prepared for it. james, chris, all the very best and go for bradford.

they are described as the jewel in the social mobility crown, supporting some of the most disadvantaged children but current funding to maintain nursery schools and england is due to end and 20/20. i went to see a canterbury nurse east school —— nursery school for families and bradford. it was not very good speech and was not very confident but since being at nursery he has come a long. every day, three—year—old levi looks forward to going to nursery school with his mum. how useful is the nursery for you? it is very useful because it is not too far and has so many facilities like on wednesday i take the baby for a baby clinic and get her weighed and stuff and he loves nursery. it is at the heart of a canterbury estate and bradford, one of the most deprived areas and

england. children here are offered free places from the age of two. we have a much higher percentage of children who come from areas of high deprivation and who have special educational needs help often children will come to us because of their areas were not able to fulfil their areas were not able to fulfil their needs. it is notjust about getting children ready for school. the centre provides a one—stop shop to help those living in difficult circumstances. were a lot of families, this food as a lifeline and often parents will go without food to feed the children so we look after the whole family. in fact, pa rents say after the whole family. in fact, parents say they have been offered a range of support. he was not talking andi range of support. he was not talking and i was worried about his speech and i was worried about his speech and everything so they have helped develop the speech and he was coming for about six weeks and now bless

them, you cannot shut him up. does he like the nursery? he is upset because we are really alone here. so i'iow because we are really alone here. so now he is really happy. he is really happy here. the government has pledged more funding to maintain nursery schools but despite that their future is far from nursery schools but despite that theirfuture is farfrom certain. nursery schools but despite that their future is far from certainm that's closest, i think it is a huge loss to community and a huge loss to the children, and if we get them the level playing field, they will succeed in their schooling. closing the social mobility gap for children like these could become much harder. and the rest of the programme we will look at more of the stories you have given us. we have published many already on the bbc website or oi'i many already on the bbc website or on social media. from a hijab wearing boxer or middle school

children learning about trees. ready or not i am coming. some of our children have not seen many trees. cell when we bring them here, it is a whole new world for them, it is not like... it does not feel like they are ten minutes away from nursery. i think one thing you find about rapp music, there is a certain connection regardless of race or where they come from and if someone is connected with music you will make friends with many people. #itis make friends with many people. # it is about that time, you need to

calm your hype. it is not good for your mind. music. he raps. cultural rise look at how many cultures are in this room right now, you do not usually see that elsewhere, and bradford it is where people can chill on both sides. when people think of bradford you think of food or riots and it is different now because back then you could feel there was a divide and a lot of tension, we do not have that any more. there is no tension, just like. it is one of the biggest things here, you would see cars that you would not see anywhere else in the uk. it is massive here. personally, i have taken pictures of ca rs personally, i have taken pictures of cars because we have nice cars so we decided to meet up on a sunday and

check out the cars. just decided to put a ring on and say call me and see what happens. people started coming down and since then it has gone crazy. a lot of people have said you should... i let my actions speak louder than my words. lam i am really lucky that we have something like this because we did not have this before and now that i do, i not have this before and now that i do, lam not have this before and now that i do, i am grateful for it. honestly, i could have the worst day and a world but when i am in doris, boxing, it has changed my life. i wa nt boxing, it has changed my life. i want to break a lot of stereotypes, and just do what makes me happy, i

guess. you can see the stories and many more if visit us on bbc dot code dot uk. we are bradford. we are bradford. we are bradford. we are bradford. we are bradford. we are bradford. we are bradford. this is bradford city football club, nestled among the streets where the asian community made it sound and during the 80s and 90s, many asian families were so concerned about racial abuse that they would not let their children come to watch a match here. i went to meet the ladies from the support is were hoping to bring more inclusivity and diversity to the stands. when we first went with the ladies, they were paying a lot and we wa nt ladies, they were paying a lot and we want bradford to plan and then they did win and the excitement on their faces, they were jumping

they did win and the excitement on theirfaces, they werejumping up and down, the elderly ladies were jumping up and down. the thing is they went to about three matches and bradford won all three matches and we have been praying for them. we never came out of the house. our parents would not let us come out at that time. our parents said stay inside, there is football today. that time. our parents said stay inside, there is football todaylj do not feel scared, ifeel inside, there is football todaylj do not feel scared, i feel proud and can stand up straighter and i felt like i am part of bradford and this

area. asian women, usually on saturday afternoon would be at home cooking are looking up at the family and it is not easy for them to get out and come and watch a match and have food with their friends and family or whoever they come with. loads of people have been in touch since we first broadcast these stories including the next one. margaret has lived in one of the power brought to my on manchester road for 30 years but 15 years has not been able to afford turning on electric central heating and this is her story. almost every day there is a removal van coming and people moving out and you are thinking, you wonder where they go... it is just quite sad to see. when you walk past

the blocks that might only be ten windows that lit up at night, i have been here half my life and i live to 31 yea rs been here half my life and i live to 31 years ago. @ like my own company and my flat and i have plenty to keep me up at night. —— and i like my own company. being in an all electric flat is too expensive. to heat. you have not had your heat on in ten years? now. none of the heaters have been put on. and ten yea rs ? heaters have been put on. and ten years? no. i would heaters have been put on. and ten years? no. iwould get heaters have been put on. and ten years? no. i would get up, heaters have been put on. and ten years? no. iwould get up, get dressed or just put years? no. iwould get up, get dressed orjust put a dressing gown on, whatever, sometimes the actual thought of getting dressed, you do

not want to have to go through that cold to keep warm, ijust put plenty of clothes on and fell hot water bottle and get under the day—to—day and keep warm like that and did that on and off the evil day. the flat tends to warm up a bed at around 10pm at night and then just go to bed. —— on and off the whole day. you do not expect to have to do that when you have worked for a0 years. worked full time. where do you go for a night out and bradford if you do not drink? there has been a surge of young people visiting a new destination that does not require drinking alcohol or eating a curry. take a look at this.

their current load of these places and bradford, and we werejust their current load of these places and bradford, and we were just head out and our pyjamas and just get dessert. it is quite popular because it is an image that everyone likes to portray on social media and put on snapchat. obviously we do not drink so we will go out for dessert and mock cocktails and this is our way of socialising as well. we create a vibrant atmosphere and you could say it at the club without alcohol, that is what we want to create, create that happy environment and atmosphere feeling. it gives you an

excuse to get dressed up and meet up with their friends and have a bit of a social evening. it is a small place that you catch everything in here. before it was like going to people's how's this for a cup of tea,... it was mainly guys he went out after hours and so many things he can do as well. back then it was not much. i know what you're thinking, we did all this hard work and we'll just thinking, we did all this hard work and we'lljust clear off late nothing has happened but this is not the end. it is not, we will continue to tell your stories across bbc news. and we will leave you an image that comes from our time and bradford. i come from shadow and

come from bradford. hello and thank you forjoining me. let's get a check on the weather first for the next couple of days, for the weekend and on the whole it is not looking bad for most of us. there will be a lot of dry weather and not necessarily sunny and some showers and some parts of scotland and windy weather as well but on balance, a lot of dry weather around and this has been happening the last 2a hours so through friday we saw a clear wins reaching scotland and northern ireland so in the early hours of saturday chilly air across the northern two thirds of the country and some spots below freezing, and it is a weather front thatis freezing, and it is a weather front that is stretching past scandinavia across the southern portion of the north sea and down to the southwest of our norm, neighbourhood and you

see the airstream a slightly colder air. with the weather front and this air. with the weather front and this airof air. with the weather front and this air of cloud air. with the weather front and this airof cloud in air. with the weather front and this air of cloud in the south, tomorrow on saturday, that is, lots of cloud and some of the cloud will be taken up and some of the cloud will be taken up to bring drizzle to plymouth, perhaps the isle of white, and potentially london. there are a few showers expected in scotland and it is quite cool, temperature is probably averaging around 10 degrees stop at the sky is all clear saturday night into sunday and you see the pockets of frost developing here but remember the ground sometimes gets cold there so temperatures i think early on sunday morning by the across the country are morning by the across the country a re pretty low morning by the across the country are pretty low and single figures and some areas below zero. here is sunday with the forecast, sunshine for the southern parts of the country but in the night you can see strong northwesterly winds and some showers and some of them will be wintry across the hills of scotland

but on balance it is not looking bad at all and should be a bright sunny day for many of us on sunday. next week, high pressure is building across the uk so that spells a lot of dry weather and some sunshine. not necessarily sunshine for the time off and with pressure building there is cloud stuck in there. a big area of high pressure establishing itself across the british isles and this is what it looks like on monday. any weather front you see deflected to the far northwest of us, plenty of bright weather around and tempted as we get up to around 11 or 13 celsius and neither are particularly high or especially well but decent enough. next week the high pressure is really going to anchor it up off the uk and western parts of europe and you get a strong high—pressure sitting there and get strea m high—pressure sitting there and get stream deflected towards the north and that is where all the weather fronts are going and it is heading towards the north into scandinavia and just maybe clipping the far northwest of scotland so that means

the vast majority of the country from monday to tuesday and wednesday will have fine leather. can see temperature is probably not changing from day to day, around ten, 13 celsius. that is tuesday and wednesday into the end of the week you will start to see a slight change out in the north atlantic here, this colder air will be approaching us but it will be reaching us around friday into saturday so things are set to cool off and perhaps turn a little more u nsettled off and perhaps turn a little more unsettled friday into the weekend. into next weekend but until then, it looks like the weather is going to be settled across most of the uk. goodbye.
