here at this london gallery, art created by a robot using artificial intelligence is on show. these images are a very modern take on the traditional chinese ink landscape paintings. they are created by using a combination of data from nasa, images collected by the chinese rover on the moon and a human who was taught the al to create good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. brush strokes that look like this. our headlines today: ai genesis will never create cctv footage of the moment before lyra mckee was killed during rioting the same image twice and its inventor, who calls in londonderry is released. the robot his soulmate, police appeal for help to sees that as one of the joys. when you look at the picture do track down the gunman. you feel pleased with it? do you question how it has come out? her partner, sara canning, pays tribute to the 29—year—old how do you feel when journalist. you first see it? i feel amazed. wow, that is my expression. oh, wow. her death must not be in vain if i draw myself like this, i will be punished by my ink painting master because that is not because her life was a shining light the way that a trained in everyone else‘s life and her traditional ink painting. legacy will live on in the light what's wrong with it? that she has left behind. are more specifically—targeted they will not draw that that way. check—ups the key to reducing heart attacks and strokes? a new study says one in ten could be prevented. that is not a traditional technique

nearly 10% of heart attacks i have been waiting a long time and strokes could be prevented in england and wales if health to be able to do this. checks were tailored to individual patients. at the moment, people over the age of a0 receive a heart check—up every five years. but new research from scientists at university college london shows that high risk people the idea of a flexible display has should be screened more, been around for years and on click and low risk patients much less. our health correspondent we have watched this story, ahem, unfold. but these things have been james gallagher reports. an awfully long time coming. somebody‘s risk of heart attack or we have had to wait for oled technology that allows for flexible stroke can be worked out by looking electronics to get to a point at risk factors, such as their blood where it is cheap and reliable enough to survive being bent, flexed and mistreated in the real world. pressure, cholesterol levels of family history. doctors use the information to give advice on lifestyle changes, or to prescribe drugs like statins or blood and this year, finally, several companies have been able to, pressure. the study followed 7000 ahem, roll them out. people to see how they risk change the highest profile flexible phone over time, then investigated whether has to be samsung's galaxy fold there was a better way of performing which becomes available routine checkups. currently, people at the beginning of next month. should be seen every five years, but whispering: for £1800. the study suggested the healthiest people could be seen every seven yea rs, people could be seen every seven years, the less healthy every year. now the front screen is smaller

the irish times leads with an image to work out that the timing sets of figures from northern ireland's political parties, united at a vigil things up nicely for for the murdered journalist the 2020 olympics. lyra mckee. that story appears on many of today's front pages, in future, they hope to offer including the guardian, which says the attack has prompted warnings that political violence multicoloured displays as well. must not be allowed to take hold in northern ireland. so this is one of the materials that will be tested today, just mounted on the tip the daily mail says this weekend's of the stick. sunshine is set to be good we're not quite sure how it news for the high street, will burn, what colour it will be, or the brightness but that is with garden centres and diy stores the point of these tests. it promises to look spectacular. but there is real science predicted to benefit in particular. and the sun sticks with at stake here as well. right now, meteor science is not well known. the warm weather theme, it is a wide field of research and especially scientists they don't suggesting a "meltdown" know the mass, the brightness, on what could be the hottest easter for 70 years. the composition of meteors and we don't know if it led let's make this clear about the to the spread of life on earth. sun's front page. it is a picture of a chocolate bunny, right? and it because we have such an accurate system we can tell people, scientists and our own crews exactly where to point cameras says if you leave a chocolate bunny so that they can outside in the sunshine it is going to melt, that is the story. that's record and get data. the way the story. otherwise, it is it is not so surprising

to connect fireworks to scientific breakthroughs. around 2000 years ago, a misleading headline. look at this alchemists seeking a recipe one. sizzling saturday, — to the for eternal life accidentally seaside as we bake in 25 degrees. created firecrackers. this led to our first fundamental understanding there are some great pictures of a of the forces of nature. dog sitting on a guyana deckchair, because the dog just needs to have some relief from the sun. so this could mark the beginning of this image at brighton beach, and as a new chapter of scientific study. it's also going to look very pretty. you can see, suggesting it is raining in spain — apparently. it is that is it for the shortcut this 75 degrees, we are talking about in week. the full—length version is parts of the uk this afternoon. a p pa re ntly parts of the uk this afternoon. apparently this is a picture of waiting for you on iplayer and we someone who is in valencia. are waiting for you on social media. miserable! the best story of the thank you for watching and we will see you soon. morning, the big donkey. this donkey could be the biggest donkey on record. 57", you think of donkeys,
6:11 am
they are quite small. this one is 16.3 hands. a very sweet natured donkey, apparently, derek is his name. the standard donkeys usually average 9—12 hands, but 16. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: cctv footage of the moment before lyra mckee was killed during rioting in head height, this donkey is probably londonderry is released. around six feet, six foot four, is police appeal for help to track down the gunman highlighted in this image. that what they are saying? her partner, sara canning, pays tribute to the 29—year—old if you have an image of a donkey journalist. thatis if you have an image of a donkey that is bigger than that, we would be fascinated to see them. who knows what's out there? lyra's death must not be in vain because her life was a shining light house plants bring a bit of colour and life to any room — and everyone else's life, and her but should the amount of tax we pay on plants be reduced? campaigners say it should memory will live on as well is the because they're so good for the environment light she shone. are more specifically targeted and mental health. currently, plants which don't check—ups the key to reducing heart produce food are subject

to full vat. attacks and strokes? laura foster reports. becker had struggled with anxiety and depression for months. counselling didn't work, medication didn't work, but then she was given a houseplant didn't work, but then she was given a housepla nt and didn't work, but then she was given a houseplant and from there her collection grew to more than 100 plants. the well-being you get is so immense. when you stop focusing on looking so far in the future because you have something to deal with right in front of you, it can really help. they take so much time to grow and change at it makes you accept that in yourself as well. she is not the only one. the popularity of houseplants has skyrocketed in recent yea rs, houseplants has skyrocketed in recent years, helped in part by social media. at the moment, plants are considered to be a luxury item, and therefore we pay full vat on them in the uk. but in other countries in europe the taxes are
6:13 am
less. as well as benefiting the environment, it is thought that cutting vat could help more people manage their mental health, particularly individuals who don't have access to a garden or green space. if they are feeling that the cost of acquiring those plants is prohibitive, i think that is a great shame. anything that makes plants more affordable will be a good thing. a lot of people will make a difference in a recovery from health issue. one business feels so strongly about the issue it has written to the government, calling for rates to be reduced. places like france, germany, italy, the rates of vat on plants is up to half what it is in the uk, and in some places more than that. some people might say... i recognise that, but we have a much broader mission. they are not just a nice thing to decorate one possible space, but they are an important thing in a healthy lifestyle. treasury said...
6:14 am
rebecca says the well—being you get from plants is so immense it is worth considering. it has been quite like changing, actually. in quite a small way but also a very big way. i think it works. maybe we should have some here. between the die it is a bit depressing. will you move them, you don't keep them after they die. or don't kill them in the first place! that is life. cactus and orchids! it's shaping up to be a beautiful morning — this is the view from our studio. it looks like it's going to be a
6:15 am
lovely weekend. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. good morning to you both. we have a touch of mist around in some of the rural areas but even in some of the towns and cities some early mist. this is the sea from hampshire. that's where we saw the top temperature, when four degrees yesterday. 2a in wales as well. all the nations reach their highest temperature of the year so far. gloriously warm for many of us apart from the east coast where there was an onshore breeze. similarfor today and tomorrow. the easter weekend is cracking. lots of sunshine around but the far north—west of the country could see a weather front trying to flirt with it of the atlantic. so here we could see thick cloud at times, more of a breeze and a few splashes of rain as well. the high pressure is in the driving seat for this weekend and that bring us financial dry weather. notice the mist and fog patches there particularly in the central and
6:16 am
eastern parts of the country that will clear away quickly with widespread sunshine. a little bit of sicker cloud and hazy sunshine across the north and west of scotland, perhaps a spot of rain as well for the western isles and we could see low cloud rolling into the eastern coast which could make a disappointingly cool. but look at those temperatures. low 20 celsius with a high of 25, maybe 26 in the south—east. overnight it looks like many places will be clear with mist and fog returning to some areas and we will continue with breeze, thick cloud in the north—west of scotland gets a little rain. dry elsewhere and temperatures no lower than six or seven degrees. double figures in some larger towns and cities. easter sunday, another cracking day. a lot of sunshine across the board that sicker cloud for the very far north—west of scotland where we could see some splashes of rain and a bit more of a breeze. temperatures 12 degrees in stornoway. low 20s for scotla nd 12 degrees in stornoway. low 20s for scotland and we are looking at temperatures around 23, maybe 2a degrees in england and wales. into
6:17 am
next week in this area of low pressure tries to push in a little bit further and that will bring increasing cloud to the north—west corner of the country. high—pressure holds on for most of us through easter monday. a southerly breeze picking up a little bit stronger, i think and we could see some cloud developing into the afternoon. mainly fairweather cloud. could be the odd shower developing a self test later in the day. those temperatures are one or two degrees down but still very warm for the time of year. as next week continues we could see an increasing chance of showers moving up from the south—west, some could be sundry and gradually it will turn cooler. temperatures will be closer to the seasonal norm. we'll be back with the headlines at half past six, but first it's time for the film review.
6:18 am
hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. i'm used to seeing you in a black tie and on the red carpet. if i had known, i would've dressed up. so jason, what do we have this week? we have great films with great actors and actresses of awards standing. the first film is about a lost handbag leading to a nightmare. chloe grace moretz and isabelle huppert star in greta. we are off to italy, the sun—drenched beaches in palo sorrentino's loro. and red joan, judi dench opens the door on her past and a wartime secret that she was accused of treason. she's a national treasure! let's start with greta it sounds cartoonish,
6:19 am
but critics like it? it's almost not cartoonish enough for me. i really liked it, it's called greta and directed by neiljordan, who's been doing these dark—tinged fairy tales. he did in the company of wolves, the crying game, and in dreams. his stories always come with this little fairy element, like angela carter in the dark underbelly of fairy tales. this one is called greta, like "hansel and gretel". it's a tale of breadcrumbs left in the city that brings chloe grace moritz to isabelle huppert‘s little gingerbread house in new york. you don't see houses like this in new york. chloe grace moretz returns this handbag to isabelle huppert, who plays a batty old french lady who's lost her husband and is a bit sad. they strike up an unlikely friendship which leads to a rather stalker—ish bit of behaviour from isabelle huppert.
6:20 am
like fatal attraction, she tracks down all through the city, and even turns up at the restaurant where chloe grace moritz is working. may i? hmm... a bit like you — promises a lot, then disappoints. 0k. i deserve better! oh my god, i'm so sorry. you can't do this to me — to us. are you a child? no, you're the child. you need someone to love. you need a mother to hold you. you love someone, and you're afraid to love. don't you dare talk to me about my mother! darling, you must learn, she had to die. she had to die for me! are you out of your mind? you just can't accept it! she's gone, frances! just accept it! leave me alone! she's gone, leave me alone!
6:21 am
leave me alone! she's so elegant but scary! i know, she's like that in real life. you think she'll go at any moment. she's done brilliant films with michael haneke, like elle with paul verhoeven, which won he ran oscar nomination a few years ago. that is what we are picking up on here. i love how in the clip, all the new york diners decide it's hard to get a reservation, so they aren't moving, even if there is a madwoman going on. as you can see, it's got that delirious nature to it, and i mention fatal attraction or single white female, those psychological thrillers from the ‘80s and ‘90s. that is whatjordan is mining here. they even go shopping for a rescue dog, which brings in the big bad wolf. there's a lot of clever stuff here, but it's also just a lot of fun. it's one of those films that's a bit silly and you think,
6:22 am
"why didn't she google her"? she would know. that spoils it. exactly, its old —fashioned. i like the style of it, shot by seamus mcgarvey. it's like a hitchcock film. it's unhinged, which you need. i'm interested. now loro, about silvio berlusconi. lots of colour to be looked at in his life? for those who don't know, silvio berlusconi was the prime minister of italy and engulfed in scandal. but you could never get rid of him, he was coated in teflon. that wasn't a tan, it was teflon. he's played in this film brilliantly by the great italian actor toni servillo, who is the muse of palo sorrentino, the director of the film. we are set in the palaces of sardinia, where everyone is trying to get berlusconi's attention. it is a film that has a lot of women dancing around and bikini, lots of parties, and berlusconi was famous for inviting heads of state to these parties. you remember them?
6:23 am
i reported on them a few times. it would be fun to be invited, except what this film does is make you realise that it's fun to start with, but after the fifth or sixth one, the excess is way too much. how appealing will this be to the female audience? given that we've gone through this time's up, #metoo moment... it's like those things never happen in this movie. you will be disgusted by much of it, but that's the idea. is it disgusting enough, does it get enough jabs at berlusconi? not really, but there are some brilliant touches of surrealism. red joan with judi dench? no dancing girls in this one. judi dench plays a woman — this is based on the real—life tale of melita norwood, known as the "granny spy." suddenly the police show up at her home and arrest her for wartime behaviour.
6:24 am
she says she's done nothing wrong, then we flash back to cambridge in the 1930s where she was a young woman who came under the charm of a handsome and charismatic communist played by tom hughes. here's a clip. it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness... it was the epoch of belief. it was the epoch of incredulity. it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness. a tale of two cities, book one, recalled to life. that's communism. that's dickens. i'd have thought far too english for you. so what made you want to read physics? the clever answer is that when in 1932, they discovered the neutron,
6:25 am
and the whole world changed. and i wanted to be a part of that. but the reality is tadpoles. does it work? the flashing back and forth takes the drama out of both segments, unfortunately. judi dench is always brilliant, but this is not the best role i've seen her do. there's not enough of her, you want to see how this affects this woman who is suddenly confronted by her past. here she is living happily in a suburb, and suddenly, her past catches up with her. her family knows nothing about it — her son is the barrister who ends up defending her, with no clue about what his mum has been up to. then it all gets a bit muddled, flashing backwards and forwards between the two. they don't quite marry the two segments for me. it reminded me of the imitation game, with benedict cumberbatch and keira knightley.
6:26 am
that's what we do with british period films, and unfortunately it is a pale imitation of that. best out, you've chosen mid90s? it's nostalgic for those who have lived through it? berlusconi is enough mid—90s for anyone, but we are talking about a young kid growing up on the streets of la in the 19905 who falls amongst a group of skateboarders. it is very much a coming—of—age tale, which i love, especially when it is set to mid—90s hip—hop. this is directed byjonah hill, a rather portly actor who's worked with scorsese and in superbad. the wolf of wall street? exactly. there's lots of scorsese in this movie. it's summer—y with great beats — "dope beats," i would say. would you really? are we allowed to use language like that? who is this appealing to — is it for people who were around in the ‘905? it's for anyone who's come of age, which is most of us, mainly boys, but your first experiences with sex and alcohol, your mum telling you off, the embarrassment
6:27 am
of your mum finding you when you're trying to be cool. it captures that moment of youth and becoming into experience, and he does it really well. quite well, lots of banter and growing up to be done on screen. and as it's his first film as a director, he's growing up as a film—maker before our very eyes. best streaming, something called guava island? you say that as if you don't know what that means. streaming is notjust for hay fever sufferers, you know? it's where we find a lot of stuff these days. i thought i would pick this little film dropped on amazon prime starring donald glover, who goes by childish gambino for his music, and rihanna, who is also a singer. guava island is set on the caribbean and a story that reminded me me of 19505 palm d'or winner black orpheus, directed by marcel camus. all pretensions aside, it is realistic with great music, about a carnival and workers under the shackles of a dictator on this island. but is it more than just
6:28 am
a feature—length music video? much more, although it is only 55 minutes, so it finds itself between a rock and a hard place. but you can just release these things on streaming, it doesn't have to get you in cinemas. but i found it colourful and well—acted with very fine set pieces of the dancing. this naive inquisitor thing i do is just an act to make you look really good. i know you know everything. thank you very much jason. that's it for this week, thank you for watching and goodbye.
6:29 am
hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: police investigating the murder ofjournalist lyra mckee during rioting in londonderry are urging members of the local community to help track down the gunman. cctv footage has been released showing the 29—year—old shortly before her death and what appears to be a man with a gun. officers have blamed the dissedent republican group the new ira for the shooting. politicians from both sides of the political divide in northern ireland came together at yesterday's vigil to pay tribute to lyra mckee. we have political leaders, religious leaders, civic society, all standing shoulder to shoulder saying we don't

physical violence at least once a week. the survey of nearly 5,000 teachers by the nasuwt teaching union found attacks involved being spat at, headbutted and having personal property damaged. the head of the union says the issue is one of the things teachers worry about the most. by by far the greatest value of teachers, over 90% say they have been subject to some sort of verbal abuse, and of course verbal and physical abuse often will go hand—in—hand. and there is no doubt now as far as teachers are concerned right across the country that second only to workload are there concerns about people in discipline. —— pupil in discipline. a series of wildfires have been burning on the north side of the isle of bute. the fires first broke out on thursday and were still burning overnight. the fire service said a large area

of moorland and forestry had been affected. those of the main stories, mike is here with all the sport. talking about that, anthonyjoshua's big fight being off, this is after another development in his fight. anthony joshua is looking for a new opponent forjune 1st afterjarele miller's frank admission and a reported second ‘adverse finding' from a drugs test for the american. miller has gone on instagram saying that he has messed up, and we will bring you this at about 7:30am. he says he is sorry and designing up to it. and you go back a step in the story? originally during the first, and his opponent? anthony joshua in america. earlier this week there was an adverse finding in doping test. that is how it was described? yes, now there has been a second adverse finding. now, miller has gone on instagram overnight saying, i've
6:33 am
messed up, i'm owning up to it, i'm really sorry. i let everybody down but i want to come back stronger person. it is quite extraordinary the way he is so open talking to his fa ns the way he is so open talking to his fans and his family about it. joshua's promoter eddie hearn has confirmed that miller will now be replaced, and that a new opponent for heavyweight champion joshua will be announced next week. our reporter ade adedoyin is in new york. this is a huge setback for anthony joshua's camp, because they are left with six weeks notice to find a credible opponent for him to make his debut here at madison square garden. this is afterjarele miller was found positive in a drug test.
6:34 am
the new opponent can probably name his price as it will be such short notice. joshua was due to earn over $5 million. if the opponent doesn't come up to scratch here it will be certain that the fans will make their feelings known. also at madison square garden in the early hours of tomorrow, amir khan faces one of the toughest challenges of his career. khan weighed in slightly heavier than american terrence crawford, and he's a big underdog with the bookies, but he says that victory in this bout will be his biggest achievement. alongside an olympic medal, alongside my world titles, this could be at the top of all that. i mean, it will be a tough fight but i am ready for the difficult task to wind this fight, to become world champion again and to achieve all my dreams and goals. manchester city and tottenham have
6:35 am
hardly had time to draw breath after their most dramatic of champions league quarter—finals, but this lunchtime they meet again, this time with so much stake in the premier league. patrick gearey has more. this game has absolutely everything! drama, the ecstasy. an emotional rolle rcoa ster for drama, the ecstasy. an emotional rollercoaster for the players and the fans. i can't believe what i have seen. how do you get up and go again after that? seven goals, two match turning var decisions, thousands of hearts soaring or breaking one way or another. and only three days later, manchester city and tottenham meet again, thrown back together. for city, this gives way to the title race. they wa nt gives way to the title race. they want wednesday night to feel them — the show must go on. it will be in our minds, but looking backwards, looking behind, it is not going to
6:36 am
help us to move forward, so it is what it is. it was tough tonight but the day after you look forward. these kinds of players will have another opportunity. revenge might provide one motivation against spurs, but the league table is another. city will go top if they win. tottenham are running in a second race further back on the track. they have their own challenge, to finish in the top four and not allow their journey challenge, to finish in the top four and not allow theirjourney in this seasonleague affect qualification for next season. it is so difficult to tell them to think about last night and the possibility to play in semifinals, but altogether to try to make sure that we are going to be there on saturday with the capacity to fight and to challenge them
6:37 am
again. on wednesday night it was ha rd to again. on wednesday night it was hard to keep up, let alone forget. i know you are very disappointed. wire, we won? no, it was disallowed. it isa wire, we won? no, it was disallowed. it is a game that comes around once ina it is a game that comes around once in a generation, but a fixture that comes around twice in a week. ahead of the game, city fans have been given some travel advice by what appears to be some gloating manchester united fans. the sign from transport for greater manchester suggest taking the tram. "it's by var the quickest option" it reads. that, of course in reference to city's champions league exit. it was a dramatic day in the race for promotion to the premier league. leeds lost at home to ten—man wigan, whilst the leaders norwich were given a fright by sheffield wednesday. after norwich went ahead, an incredible strike from fernando forestieri drew wednesday level. and they took a controversial lead early in the second half when steven fletcher appeared to handle the ball.
6:38 am
but in the 7th minute of stoppage time, mario vrancic snatched the draw, which leaves them five points clear at the top, ahead of sheffield united who beat nottingham forest 2—0. but bolton are down, relegated to league one after a 2—0 defeat at home to aston villa. it's been a troubled season for bolton, who've been plagued by a series of off—field problems. it was a very good friday for super league leaders st helens. they beat bitter rivals wigan by 36 points to 10 at the dw stadium. regan grace scored the pick of saints' six tries, to secure the first hat—trick of his career. and there was a hat—trick forjack logan, as hull fc beat their city rivals hull kingston rovers in style, winning 56—12 and running in nine tries in the process — that's a record derby victory. the defending world snooker champion, mark williams, claims the sport would not be keen to see a 44—year—old has—been winning the tournament again.
6:39 am
on the day he starts his title defence against martin gould he says, "they want a youngster coming through, who can push the sport" and you can watch live coverage of the world snooker championship, across the bbc. british number one johanna konta is hoping for more home—crowd energy as great britain aim for fed cup promotion. the team, led by anne keothavong, face kazakhstan in their play—off at london's copper box arena this weekend, hoping to end a 26—year wait to reach world group ii. all of us are really looking forward to this opportunity, keeping in mind that we are going out and giving the best we can, and we will come away with what we come away with. we are very excited to have another opportunity to get to that world group two, which we have actually had a number of opportunities now
6:40 am
which is a feat in itself, and i think everyone isjust which is a feat in itself, and i think everyone is just looking forward to getting started. world number one novak djokovic has been knocked out of the monte carlo masters. djokovic has won this event twice before but that experience didn't help him against the world number 1a, daniil medvedev. it's the first time in four meetings that the russian has beaten djokovic. but there was no such trouble for the reigning champion rafa nadal, who's still on track for an unprecedented 12th monte carlo title. he's through to the semi—finals, after beating argentina's guido pella in straight sets. england's moeen ali helped his royal challengers bangalore side to just their second win in this year's indian premier league. he smashed 66 off 28 balls as his team set kolkata knight riders a target of 214. they fell ten runs short. in sport sometimes you need the rub of the green. this is the american angel yin, playing her 2nd shot on the 15th hole at the lpga event in hawaii.
6:41 am
her ball hits her playing partner's before rolling in for an eagle! unfortunately it didn't help her make the cut. so, she hit her opponent was possible and went in? and her opponenfs possible and went in? and her opponent's ball rolled in? no, her baldhead. so that is for an eagle, so to less than the whole should be palladian. that's fantastic. it would have been bad if her ball had hit her opponent was possible and her opponent was possible had gone in and it had counted. gutted! now it's one of the heavyweight sporting events of the year — the world coal carrying championships. it started in 1963 and celebrates the town of gawthorpe, in west yorkshire, which was an important coal mining area. it attracts competitors from all over the world, and ahead of monday's big race, i've been training with some of the favourites.
6:42 am
not many schoolchildren have a world champion as their teacher, and a trophy on display. mrs sidebottom is the women's world coal carrying champion, and in her lunchbreak she is training again, carrying 20 kilos of coal up is training again, carrying 20 kilos of coalupa is training again, carrying 20 kilos of coal up a steep hill in yorkshire. i feel very proud that she is going to be a star. they know about the history of the race because we teach that in school, and i thought i would give it a go and inspire them. for me, i don't think lam inspire them. for me, i don't think i am strong, i think it is more legs and lungs, and the mindset of actually just and lungs, and the mindset of actuallyjust going for that kilometre. just look at the paste that danielle and john are setting up that danielle and john are setting up this hill, incredible. this started 60 yea rs up this hill, incredible. this started 60 years ago as a row over a
6:43 am
pint over who was stronger. the coalminer came in, they looked at him and said, you look tired! the language was very colourful, but he said, i'm as fit as you are. so they said, i'm as fit as you are. so they said, i'm as fit as you are. so they said, i tell you what, will have a race, get a said, i tell you what, will have a race, geta bag said, i tell you what, will have a race, get a bag of coal on your back, and i will raise you from the royal oak to the maypole green. and there was born the world coal carrying championships. the irony is that they never ended up raising themselves, but their idea was taken on and now attracts competitors from all over the world as their legacy lives on. it is something to be proud of, to say it has come from a family member, and we always think of them every easter monday when we do it. maybe amos and coe had been inspired by the coal races held in paris back in the 19305, but they had it easy on the flat over a short
6:44 am
distance, because in gore thorpe it i5 distance, because in gore thorpe it is over a thousand metres uphill. the world record time is a staggering four minutes and six second5. staggering four minutes and six seconds. on your marks, get set, go! you will need to train for three months to get up here in a good time. as you can see now, that is 50 kilos on your back and it hurts. keep your head low and keep it wrapped around your neck, and if you stand up straight it will slip down your back and then you are fighting it. a tree! it's because i'm looking down i didn't see the tree! thousand5 will be climbing the hill this ea5ter thousand5 will be climbing the hill this easter monday, keeping the mining history culture of this area alive, and the weight off your shoulders at the end is a feeling
6:45 am
like in no other sport. i don't want to see a bag of coal again. it is not so much the weight, it is the equivalent of say a reindeer or two small alsatian is. i don't think a reindeer is all that helpful, because we are not used to carrying that either. two small alsatian is. it is more the fact that it is knobbly and it moves around on your shoulders, and if it goes down it is really ha rd to shoulders, and if it goes down it is really hard to get back up. posture is important. do you fancy a go next year? here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. it is glorious, what else can i say? fabulously sunny and warm easter weekend. behind me this photo is from gosport in hampshire where we saw the highest temperature in the country. we also saw the highest temperature of the year so far in wales, northern ireland and the
6:46 am
scotland. you can see it is a very warm spell. on the east coastal area is 12 degrees or so because we have an onshore breeze that looks similar today. if you want to heat, head inland and be near a swimming pool. for the easter weekend, very warm with a lot of sunshine but we will have a bit more cloud and a little bit of rain across the very far north—west of the country because of this pesky weather front just trying to push in off the atlantic. high—pressure will continue to wind out and keep that weather front out bay but it will still bring more cloud here to the north and west of scotland, maybe western parts of northern ireland. little hazy hearing could see a splash of rain for the western isles but after mist clears a glorious and sunny day with low cloud affecting the eastern coastal areas. if that happens it could be disappointingly great uncle but i think that will be a slim it should be dry and sunny. low 20 celsius, we could have 25 or 26 day today so i think today will be the
6:47 am
peak of the warm spell. as we had through tonight and get another dry night, mist and fog developing, breezy of the far north—west of scotland. a little rain there at times. temperatures around 10— six celsius. and then we do it all again into easter sunday. fog and this close away and we have widespread sunshine. little more cloud for the north—west of the country and was a breeze but elsewhere those temperatures reach highs of 20—23, possibly 2a celsius so a degree also down on what we're looking at this afternoon. and then as we head into next week that area of low pressure tries to push in a bit further. the high—pressure holds on and if anything will bring us more of the southerly breeze but we could start to become a bit more instability — make instability in the atmosphere so we could have a bit more cloud bubbling up at times. through the afternoon although it will be glorious for most with sunny spells we could have a bit of cloud here and there that develop into a shower across the far south—west. another
6:48 am
fine day with the temperatures well above the average at17— fine day with the temperatures well above the average at 17— 23 degrees. beyond that point the chance of showers begins to increase and we could see longer spells of rain around the middle part some could be sundry and then gradually will start turn cooler with temperatures reaching the norm for the time of year towards the end of the week. still pleasantly sunshine around. enjoy this warm and sunny weather. we'll be back with the headlines at seven, 00:48:29,878 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 but first it's time for click.
