for the details. good morning. it's saturday the 20th of april. our top story. police investigating the murder of the journalist lyra mckee during rioting in londonderry, are urging members of the local community to help track down the gunman. officers have blamed her death on dissident republican group the new ira. cctv images have been released to help her killer be identified. will leitch reports. in the police video, the masked gunman is seen stepping out from behind a building and firing towards police and onlookers. separate police footage shows ms mckee among the crowd of people, raising her mobile phone apparently to take a photo. she had been standing next to a police vehicle during rioting. police said they had intelligence that attacks were being planned by dissident republicans, and they were carrying out checks for weapons. police believe they were

the intended target. they've now made an appeal for more information, saying they have had a large number of calls from the public already. the senseless murder... earlier, at a vigil near where she was shot, lyra's partner paid tribute to her. it has left me without the love of my life, the woman i was planning to grow old with. we are all poorer for her loss. all of her amazing potential was snuffed out by a simple barbaric act. the police cordon at the crime scene is gone. flowers and mementos have been left at the spot where lyra mckee fell. among them, one reading: "not in our name", from the people of derry. nearly 10% of heart attacks and strokes could be prevented in england and wales if health 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 should be screened more, and low risk patients much less. our health correspondent james gallagher reports. somebody‘s risk of heart attack or stroke can be worked out by looking at risk factors, such as their blood pressure, cholesterol levels or family history. doctors use the information to give advice on lifestyle changes, or to prescribe drugs like statins for cholesterol or blood pressure. the study in the lancet followed 7,000 people to see how their risk changed over time, then investigated whether there was a better way of performing routine checkups. currently, people should be seen every five years, but the study suggested the healthiest people could be seen every seven years, the less healthy every year. the ucl team predicted 8% of heart attacks and strokes will be prevented with tailored testing. that works out at about 5,000 fewer heart attacks and strokes every year in england and wales. researchers say these personalised checks would not cost the nhs any more money.

the british heart foundation says it could potentially save lives but warned it could be hard to implement and that too few people were having current assessments. a scheme to help people with mental health problems find a job if they want one is being expanded. nhs england is rolling it out to 28 new areas. employment specialists will offer coaching and advice, along with practical tips on preparing for interviews. it's hoped that within five years, it will help 55,000 people per year. two people have been arrested after a six—year—old boy was shot and injured in wolverhampton. police say a group of men opened fire on a house in the eastfield area of the city in what they have described as a "hugely reckless act". the boy's injuries are not thought to be life—threatening. teachers are being regularly attacked by pupils, with almost a quarter saying they suffer physical violence at least once a week. the survey of nearly 5,000 teachers by the nasuwt teaching union found that 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 far the greatest volume of teachers, over 90%, say they have been subject to some form of verbal abuse and of course the verbal and physical abuse often will go hand—in—hand and there is no doubt now as far as teachers are concerned across the country that second only to their workload are their concerns about pupil in discipline. a british man who was hailed as a hero for stopping a global cyber—attack has pleaded guilty to us malware charges. 24—year—old marcus hutchins has been under house arrest in america since he was arrested by the fbi in 2017. the hacker from devon was credited with stopping an attack which threatened the nhs and other major organisations two years ago. 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. the time now is six minutes past eight. the death ofjournalist lyra mckee has been described as "senseless and appalling beyond belief". the 29—year—old was shot dead during rioting in londonderry on thursday night. police say the answer to the murder lies within the local community. last night at a vigil, lyra's partner led the tributes. the senseless murder of lyra mckee has left a family without a beloved daughter, sister, an aunt, great—aunt, left so many friends without their confidant. victims in the lb t0 without their confidant. victims in the lb to community are left without an activist, and it has left me without the love of my life, the woman i was planning to go old with. we are all poorer for the loss of lyra. all of her dreams and

potential were snuffed out by a barbaric act. this cannot stand, because her life was a shining light in the life of everyone else. her legacy will live on in what she has left behind. thank you. joining us now from derry is freya mcclements, who's a reporter for the irish times and here in the studio mick fealty the editor of the northern ireland blog, slugger o'toole. good morning to you both. freire, lyra was in your circle, you are all working towards the same thing. what did you know about her?|j working towards the same thing. what did you know about her? i didn't have the privilege of knowing lyra personally, but i knew her by reputation, and the message that

came out from the nuj locally is that an attack on one is an attack oi'i that an attack on one is an attack on all, and we have seen that across ireland, the message of solidarity that have been coming in for a journalist. the things people have been saying to me, that could have been saying to me, that could have been you, any journalist been saying to me, that could have been you, anyjournalist in derry certainly has stood at riots like this at one time or another. i think it is worth adding that the latest from the psni within the last few minutes, they have announced they have been two arrests in regards to this, the psni major investigation team says they have arrested two men aged 18 and 19 under the terrorism act in connection with lyra's murder, and that is within the last five minutes that they have announced that. just to reiterate, two men aged 18 and 19 have been arrested in connection with the incident. we

will keep you connected with that as it comes in. freya, what is the impact on the community, there a lwa ys impact on the community, there always seems to be this shroud of secrecy always seems to be this shroud of secrecy around these kind of attacks. again, the police took the step last night of releasing a cctv image, and it is quite clear to see there is a gunman can be seen in that firing shots. i think the angen that firing shots. i think the anger, and the shock certainly in the community, very palpable. i was at the vigil yesterday afternoon, and it is seldom that i have seen something so powerful, and within that, things like the dup arlene foster admitting that it was her first time in this staunchly nationalist area, and she was applauded for it, and i think moments like that are indicative of the level of anger in the community.

the parish priest, fatherjoe gormley, who anointed leo, were saying on the local radio yesterday morning that those were responsible we re morning that those were responsible were not welcome, and if they wanted to hold a march on monday, they could get out. that is all very powerful, the number of normal people who turned up saying, this is not in our name, we do not want this. welcome, by the way, this morning. you your eye when she was younger, a teenager. tell us about that. over the years we have run a number of events in belfast, and ten years ago we did a series on political innovation, about accountability in an area that is very difficult to get accountability, partly because of the power—sharing executive basically having no opposition, and lyra was one of those people who stepped forward with great gusto and

great passion and great intensity to step into that space. she was very lit by this idea of getting accountability. what i find fascinating about lyra was she had an absolute determination to look in the corners that no one else in journalism was looking for. that created issues for her. it wasn't easy to get into journalism within northern ireland that is often unwilling to ask tough and testing questions about the difficulties around all of this. she was intense. i wouldn't say we were close friends. we stayed in contact over the last ten years. there are members of the slugger team who know her better, and we have seen some of the work that she has done on teenage suicides, of precisely that demographic that didn't face

directly the terrible challenges of the troubles. for those who didn't know her at all, we are getting a picture of her, both from those who love turn first and foremost that is the greatest loss of all, but certainly in terms of the work she did. her reach is extraordinary, former president clinton tweeting how important it is, the kind of work she was doing. the reach is amazing, isn't it? it is amazing for northern ireland, because when you look at it, everyjournalist has to come from our community somewhere, and very often the more senior you get, particularly in print journalism, the more pressure is on you to take a view which is the view of the community from which you come. lyra was never like that. she came from a staunchly republican area ina came from a staunchly republican area in a part of north belfast which accounts for something like one sixth of all the people killed during the troubles. thankfully for her, she was only about three years

of age when the ceasefires came in, eight years of age when the good friday agreement came in, and sadly and tragically she lost her life. one day, hours before the 215t anniversary of the good friday agreement. and that's what gets to the core of people like president clinton, for whom the good friday agreement is a critical legacy. for anyone just watching while we are talking about the death of lyra mckee, we have just talking about the death of lyra mckee, we havejust had some news through that after police released the cctv pictures of the man with a handgun, a major investigation team have arrested two men aged 18 and 19 under the terrorism act in connection with the murder of lyra mckee and they have been taken to musgrave serious crime suite, so as we get more on that, we will bring it to your. i'm not sure how much comfort anyone gets from those gatherings, the

vigil that we saw yesterday and the sentiment that is coming out of this. this should never have happened, and it should never happen again. do you think any comfort can come from this? i think very much so. come from this? i think very much so. i think again the most powerful words of all possible yesterday were those from lyra's partner, sara canning, and she said that lyra's death should not be in vain. sadly we have been here before, and there was much talk yesterday of the fact that yesterday was the 21st anniversary of the signing of the good friday agreement, and in that time, there have been so many people that i can think of that i can recall who have been killed by dissident republicans, and i have stood at similar vigil to that, so while there was very much a sense of determination, there were also reservations and people were saying, we have been here before. what we need to see is real, meaningful

change. the spirit was certainly there on the ground. whether or not that transpires remains to be seen, and of course this is also happening against a backdrop of the uncertainties caused by brexit in northern ireland and also the fact that there is still no assembly in northern ireland, there hasn't been for two years, so... ifi for two years, so... if i made, a last a lot with you, mick, as well. freya, thank you. we are reporting this morning two men have been arrested, 18 and 19, under the terrorism act, in connection with the murder of lyra mckee, that has just been announced in the last few minutes. apart from anything else, something happening swiftly is really important here, isn't it? given the climate you have both described right now in northern ireland? i think it is right that it happen swiftly. always with the rest we have to remember that the real weight of prosecutions is in evidence, and the only evidence that will stand, video evidence counts for nothing. what i think that video

will have done, it was deliberately released by the police last night... these cctv images you are talking about, of the riot itself and the shooters who have been arrested. lyra was in a crowd, she wasn't picked out because she was a journalist. whoever it was was inexperienced with a handgun, shot straight into a crowd. if the intention was to kill police, they we re intention was to kill police, they were in armoured vehicles, so there was 110 were in armoured vehicles, so there was no chance. we were in armoured vehicles, so there was 110 chance. we are were in armoured vehicles, so there was no chance. we are talking about probably very young people in all of this... we will wait to see what unfolds in connection with it. and thatis unfolds in connection with it. and that is only proper. but as i say, there is a lot of evidence that a lot of people witnessed that crime. the truth is that there are riots at this time of year, every easter around the commemoration of the easter rising. this is not unusual, and the real tragedy is that lyra

would not have felt unsafe in that situation because this kind of thing has never happened. it is an attempt to escalate whilst the vacuum that stormont creates no voice for our elected representatives. we thank you for your time this morning, thank you both are very much. it is 18 minutes past eight. we will keep you up—to—date with that story, but first, let's find out what is happening when the weather. very high temperatures for this easter weekend, some records i think, stav. good morning, yes. the record was 29 degrees on easter saturday in 1989, we are not going to break that but we are not going to break that but we are not going to break that but we are coming close to it. a beautiful day for taking a walk through the countryside, lovely sunshine for most of the country, and it will be very warm apart from

the north—west corner of scotland which will see more cloud around. yesterday we saw temperatures reached 2a degrees in hampshire, and also wales, these are the highest temperatures of the year so far. also 22 for northern ireland, 23 in scotland, but it was cooler across the eastern coast. a few spots of rain to the far north—west of scotla nd rain to the far north—west of scotland on this weather front, but elsewhere we are under the influence of high pressure, so a fine, dry day. these dense fog patches will fizzle out through the morning and we will see widespread sunshine much like yesterday, that there will be hazy sunshine for the north and west of scotland, may be some spots of rain just of scotland, may be some spots of rainjust getting into of scotland, may be some spots of rain just getting into the western isles into this afternoon. but here apart from it being cooler elsewhere, it is very warm, low 20s celsius across the board with a high of 2526, so today is going to be the peak of the warm spell. through tonight, dry, clear skies,

peak of the warm spell. through tonight, dry, clearskies, a little mist and fog developing across england and wales in particular, more of a breeze, cloud and outbreaks of rain, temperatures no lower than 10 degrees. a mild night for many. then into tomorrow, easter sunday, a lovely fine day, mist and fog through the morning should clear through, and then we will see lots of sunshine and temperatures responding quite well, breeze and cloud for the north—west of scotland, 12 degrees for stornoway, 23 or 2a likely to be the high on sunday. as we head on into monday, low— pressure sunday. as we head on into monday, low—pressure to the west of us should stay out at sea, and we will continue with high—pressure and southerly winds, but it will be more ofa southerly winds, but it will be more of a breeze i think tomorrow, a noticeable breeze, and that might just allow a little cloud to build through the afternoon, with the risk of one or two showers across the south—west, temperatures reaching around the low 20s celsius. that is how it is looking, back to you, naga

and charlie. thank you very much. thank you very much. it's a while since we've spoken the ‘b‘ word — but brexit has not gone away. do you know, i have missed it a little bit! the politicans have continued to talk over the easter recess and preparations for the european elections have been stepped up — but we still don't know if the uk will be taking part in those. here to bring us up to speed is andrew russell, who's a politics professor at the university of liverpool. it has been such an odd time. how can it have been also critical and such a situation, and then gone? it is very odd, isn't it? the short a nswer is very odd, isn't it? the short answer is parliament has been in recess for a week, so the focus of all the protest around brexit, both for and against, have gone away. all the protest around brexit, both for and against, have gone awaym it your understanding that things have been happening? has stuff been happening? this is one of the

dangers of the extension, is that actually it allowed a breathing space, which we don't really have, particularly if things are going to move at such a pace that we get out, that we don't have the european elections. at the same time, politics is normal carries on, political parties are fighting local elections pretty soon, and all they are hearing on the doorstep is brexit, brexit, brexit. it is still the thing that dominates british politics. so on tuesday when they come back, what will have changed? what will i be able to say when i say, this is the reason we are talking about brexit. in terms of change, same old, same old, it is still a deeply divided society, and it cuts through our politics straight down the middle. it cuts through the two main parties and is causing an ideological split. however, politics has to continue,

and what happens on tuesday is that all of those mps would have been back to their constituencies and had a week of being told how ordinary people feel, whether they actually talk to ordinary people or whether they talk to activists who somehow think they represent ordinary people isa think they represent ordinary people is a different matter. but nevertheless they will go back to westminster with the sound ringing in theirears of westminster with the sound ringing in their ears of this is what we want. do you think they will take that on board? the reason i ask is, the problem is, and a moment a lot of the criticism with politicians, the mps at the moment, their personal views are not reflecting their constituency views. and that argument is, we are fighting for democracy. so is anything going to change in the space of a week and a half? it depends. i doubt very much it will change. if you are a remainer, you can find people who will tell you this is an important fight and you must carry on, and if

you are a leaver, you will find people who will tell you that in order to sustain democracy and honour the 2016 referendum, we have to leave as soon as possible. the thing that has changed slightly this week is actually the reaction in europe, andi week is actually the reaction in europe, and i think for the first time we are seeing a kind of running out of patience in the eu 27 towards britain, and the default is still a no—deal brexit, and that could even be triggered by the eu rather than britain. on a practical note, the european elections, we were voting for meps to centre brussels, that is not flexible. that is happening on a specific date. what can stop us being part of that? the only thing that can stop us being part of the eu elections is for britain to pass their withdrawal agreement. a meaningful vote has got to get through parliament. and when is the last date that that can happen? presumably right up until the

deadline. which is? it is fast approaching. we are running out of time. what is the deadline now? the eu elections are when? 22nd of may? and if we don't take part in those, we are out on during the first. and if we do take part, we've got until october the 31st. yes, we've got until october the 31st, that is the final date of the so—called flexible extension. so a meaningfulvote needs take place before the european elections. element definitely. we are running out of time. it looks to all the world that we will be fighting the individual european elections, but we have parties say they will boycott them. essentially it isa they will boycott them. essentially it is a month to sort out something, otherwise we are going to have meps in brussels? that is slightly less than a month in terms of parliamentary time. we really are running out of time. we will be back right into next week. thank you very much indeed.

it is 25 minutes past eight. time now for a look at the newspapers. mike barton, chief constable of durham police, is here to tell us what's caught his eye. it's always nice, because we need to remind people you are a serving police officer, and you come in to read the papers, which is always interesting. thank you very much. i wouldn't mind mike commenting on the news we have just had in the light of lyra mckee's killing. it has touched many people, and we understand now that the investigation team has arrested two men, aged 18 and 19. we are not going to talk about specifics, but can you talk about the speed of this, and the appeal and the cctv? george hamilton, the chief over there, as a personalfriend, and i speak to him regularly. and i think

his frustration is that it's very easy for people in scotland, wales and england sometimes to overlook the difficulties that he and his collea g u es the difficulties that he and his colleagues and people living in northern ireland have to face on a daily basis, so that is why i always ta ke daily basis, so that is why i always take my hat off to journalists who have got that bravery to actually report from the front line. but in terms of the request of the cctv, we have actually just turned terms of the request of the cctv, we have actuallyjust turned on in the last 18 months a facility where we can scoop that up, so that was inspired by the boston marathon. if you remember a few years ago, the boston police were completely inundated with social media, and they couldn't cope with it. so we have now got an online system where anybody who has got any footage, it is straight into our computer, and we can act on it. so i'm not surprised that they have been able to act on it quickly, because we have now got the facility to do

that. lets pick up on some of the stories that have interested you. where are you going to start? we go from brexit in a tight spot to this story, and it caught my eye, because if you remember, a year ago, those poor boys were stuck in that cave, and here we are, one of the rescuers, josh prattley, 27, comes from anglesey, he is stuck in a cave in america, and another cave rescue has gone to collect him. what i love about this story as he must‘ve been there for over a day, and he sat there, really cold in a muddy cave, and when the chat comes to rescue him, he says, i expected it would be you coming for me, a bit like david livingstone and stanley, you know. the whole thing about cave diving seems unappealing to me, but clearly it absolutely does do some people. to get into those remarkable places,

it isa to get into those remarkable places, it is a fundamentally risky thing. i'm claustrophobic in a box room, let alone a cave. i could understand caving if you emerge into a beautiful cathedral —like cave, but these people are injust muddy slithery holes, i don't get it. what else have you been looking at quiz --? else have you been looking at quiz ——? we are doing a piece about house pla nts ——? we are doing a piece about house plants today. this is pretty. if you bought a tomato plant, you don't pay vat, but if you bought a geranium, you would. what caught my eye here is that if you remember way back, and i'm old enough to remember, rockery gardens whether thing. and of course then that all went and it became decking and very pristine outdoor. i can remember building a rockery! rather disparagingly, some

of our rockeries were called currant buns, a mound of earth with little stones, i'm sure yours was nothing like that. but part of the story here is they are more suitable for instagram, so who knew chris max are one of the reasons people would like rockeries in their gardens is because it is made for the new information era. good pictures. how are you on technology? yourjob means you are permanently in touch. you should have been running this is the main story all week. what is going on here? i have said for a long time now, e—mails are the scourge long time now, e—mails are the scourge of modern society. are they really? i'm probably exaggerating a touch! this chap here created superdry refuses to do e—mails. short story, i was on king's cross

station, about six years ago, and they had given me one of these new phones, so i typed an e—mail, and i was running onto the train, so i sat down and i had lost the damn message, so down and i had lost the damn message, so i then rang the person up message, so i then rang the person up and it took me 30 seconds to resolve something that i had spent 20 minutes typing. and it struck me, thatis 20 minutes typing. and it struck me, that is exactly what he says. ten minutes to type an e—mail, 30 seconds to have a phone call. some people might take the approach that you should get better at doing those things. i have fat fingers and keyboards are very small. there is a guy here worth £500 million and he is saying e—mails are not the way to go. worth £500 million and he is saying e-mails are not the way to go. he might be able to afford e—mails.

yes, people see an e—mail is proof that i have sent something. but it is the people who slew the year business by littering e—mails in your business. people can copy hundreds of e—mails. your business. people can copy hundreds of e-mails. even your fat fingers can delete e—mails, that is all i can say. headlines coming up. hello, noting. it hundred thousand people in the uk have dementia. —— 800,000. i am forming dementia choir, joining scientists to test if music can make a difference. just because you have dementia does not mean you cannot learn something new.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up before nine we'll have the weather and sport. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. police have arrested two men, who are aged 18 and 19, in connection with the murder of the journalist lyra mckee in londonderry. detectives say the men have been detained under the terrorism act. lyra mckee, who was 29, was shot and killed while observing disturbances in the creggan

estate on thursday. nearly ten per cent of heart attacks and strokes could be prevented in england and wales, if health 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 should be screened more, and low risk patients much less. an investigation is underway after a teenage girl was stabbed in the neck in county armagh last night. the girl remains in a critical condition in hospital after the incident, which took place in lurganjust after 9pm. police say a second teenager is helping them with their enquiries. a british man who was hailed as a hero for stopping a global cyber—attack has pleaded guilty to us malware charges. 24—year—old marcus hutchins has been under house arrest in america since he was arrested by the fbi in 2017. the hacker from devon was credited with stopping an attack which threatened the nhs and other

major organisations two years ago. teachers are being regularly attacked by pupils, with almost a quarter saying they suffer 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 far the greatest volume of teachers, over 90%, say they have been subject to some form of verbal abuse and of course the verbal and physical abuse often will go hand—in—hand and there is no doubt now as far as teachers are concerned across the country that second only to their workload are their concerns about 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. engineering works on the west coast main line will cause severe disruption for rail passengers over this easter bank holiday weekend. services between scotland and northern england will be affected, with no trains running north of lancaster. it's because of a four million pound signal and track upgrade which won't be completed until tuesday morning. those are the main stories this morning. mike is here with the sport. anthony joshuais mike is here with the sport. anthony joshua is very famous now but something is not right right now. he was due to meet his us debut in a few weeks' time but now, the opponent he had fixed up, he will not be fighting him because he has feel a second jags test. he has gone on social media to see hazlitt

people down. —— second drugs test. jarelle miller, has used social medai decided to address the whole matter, surrounding his failed drugs test — releasing this video messaage on instagram. i messed up, i made a bad call. i handled the situation wrongly. i am paying the price for it, i missed a big opportunity. my heart is bleeding right now on behalf of my family, my friends, my supporters but i would up to it. i am going to do with it and corrected. if you had plans to go to new york, onjune1st, joshua's promoter eddie hearn has confirmed that a replacement for miller will be found, forjoshua's, first fight on us soil. our reporter ade, adedoyin is there. this is a huge setback for the camp of anthonyjoshua, they are left

with six weeks to find an opponent forjoshua here at madison square garden. there was a drug test taken last month which miller failed. the josh mccown will pretty much be able to name their price. miller has blown the biggest opportunity of his career and he was due to earn over $5 million. great fights have happened here and the opponent does not, to scratch, the fans will make their opinions 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. onto football and the dust hasn't settled and manchester city and tottenham are about to meet agaoin. dan's here to tell us what's

on football focus today. i will be showing the goals from that crazy game. it had everything in it. all that drama with that year at the end, i still cannot get my head around when manchester city fa ns head around when manchester city fans believed they had scored the goal to go through and then it was taken away. you were there, the spurs manager had taken his quote of. then they were still in it! we also have the nominations for players of the year which we will announce on football focus. a couple of players will be playing in the manchester city, spurs game. a few of those might be on that list. newcastle have a big game against southampton. they are seven points clear of the drop. cardiff and brighton, it is between one of those two to see who goes down. cardiff

currently in the relegation spot and the beat brighton through the week. we asked about his relationship with the manager. when you talk about the manager, people know all the baiting, how would you describe him? he's just the man, isn't he, he'sjust the man. it's such a relaxed atmosphere. you probably wouldn't expect it but he takes the pressure off the boys and off you and when the whistle goesis the boys start to go, it's go time. since i have been here he hasjust been the master really. plenty more from him in the programme. we will be speaking to

janine janice and the women's team. we will talk about the semifinal of the champions league. and we have a computer taking on mark lawrenson. why? this is taking overfrom humans? you have done it. you have not seen the results yet. it works on algorithms. i am really hoping that he will be able to beat the computer. is it a robot or a computer? i think it isjust a computer. what he knew about it? i don't know anything about it. that is the reason to watch it. red faces all round. it is a huge weekend for

the champions league. mark clements will be in the studio reflecting on some significant games. another roller—coaster of the day yesterday, leeds losing against ten men wigan. wigan totally deserved it. fighting further lives at the bottom against the leeds crowd, came back with ten men to beat leeds. this is what happened later on. 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. but in the seventh minute of stoppage time, mario vranchich, snatched the draw which leaves them five points clear at the top, ahead of sheffield united, who beat nottingham forest 2—nil.

norwich are the masters of the last minute goal. sheffield united have a little bit of a lead now. it is in their hands. what every team needs is to have a player sent off. quite clearly, a lot of fans were playing against ten men, we are there so play some nice football. it can come back to bite you. thank you. but bolton are down, relegated to league one after a 2—nil defeat at home to aston villa. they have had nine wins on that short. it's been a troubled season for bolton, who've been plagued by a series of off—field problems. and in scotland, celtic could win the title for the eighth year in a row

farmer and a coal merchant about who was strongest. the coalminer key men, they looked at hand and said he was tired. the language was more colourful. he said he was as fit as the farmer so they said, we will have a race, put a bag of coal on your back and i will reissue. there was born the world coal carrying championship. the irony was this two never did and are bracing themselves but the idea was taken on and it tracks competitors from all over the world. we are very proud it came from a family member. we always think of him every easter monday when we do it. they had been inspired by the chorus is held in paris back in the 1930s but they had it easy then over the flat and short distance. hundreds of competitors

are still carrying 50 kilos of coal but in yorkshire it is over 1000 metres up hill. on your marks, get set, go. it took me three months to get training for a good sign. 50 kilograms on your back and it hurts. keep your head low and keep your arm around your net. if you stand up straight, you are fighting it. it is because you are looking down, you did not see the tree. thousands will be climbing the hill this easter monday, keeping the mining history of this area live. the weight off
