9:02 am
our reporterjenny kumah is in our london newsroom with the latest. that announcement came in just over an hour ago. what information do we have? two men aged 19 and 18 have been arrested and taken to the musgrave crime suite in belfast, where they are being questioned in relation to the shooting. lyra mckee was a journalist, she was singled out as a talent to watch, but she was shot on thursday as she was observing riots in the creggan estate in londonderry. police have been appealing for information and asking people who have mobile phone footage to get in touch, and earlier they released cctv footage of the shooting as part of their appeal for
9:03 am
people to come forward with information. jenny, thank you. 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
9:04 am
seen every seven years, the less healthy every year. the ucl team predicts 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. 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
9:05 am
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. young taxpayers are being warned by the government to be wary of fraudsters offering tax rebates worth hundreds of pounds. the scams, mostly by text and email,
9:06 am
are timed to coincide with the sending out of legitimate rebates after the end of the tax year. here's our business correspondent, rob young. the new tax year is just a few weeks old. this is the time of year when hm revenue and customs sends refunds to those taxpayers who paid too much last year. there is a warning that scammers exploit this. hmrc says criminals target the smartphones of adults in an attempt to get hold of their bank details. in spring, con artists send text messages such as this one, pretending to be from the tax office. it offers an enticing £265 rebate, but anyone who clicks on the link could end up sending their bank details to a criminal. here is another example of a scam. this e—mail, which looks official, isn't. fraudsters might try to use the unwitting victim's card numbers, set up payments from their account, or take out loans. hm revenue and customs had 250,000 reports of attempted tax scams
9:07 am
in april and may last year. they fear the problem will be worse this spring. they believe new tax payers who may not have much experience of the system, who are particularly vulnerable, especially as they are more likely to manage their affairs on their smartphone. they say anyone who is due a genuine refund will receive it directly into their bank account or get a cheque through the post. 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. isa time is a time now is seven minutes past nine. the weather is coming up with stav shortly, but first:
9:08 am
within the last hour police investigating the death of journalist lyra mckee in londonderry have arrested two men. the 29—year—old was shot during rioting on thursday night. she was a prominent campaigner for lgbtq rights. here she is in 2017 talking about what it was like growing up as a gay woman in northern ireland. within the lg btq within the lgbtq community, we have a saying, it gets better. but what i realised is that it gets better for some of us. it gets better for those of us who live long enough to see it get better. i realised that i couldn't run away from religion anymore, because religion how lgbtq people are seen in the world. it shapes the laws and how lgbt people are treated, as we can see from the treatment of marriage in this country, and it shapes how we see ourselves. that was lyra speaking in 2017.
9:09 am
joining us now from belfast is lyra mckee's friend alison millar. good morning to you. i didn't know lyra at all of course, like most people watching this. it is so interesting hearing her speak there, andi interesting hearing her speak there, and i think for those of us who didn't know her well, it gives a little chance to understand what she was like. i can only imagine how much you must be feeling now in the wa ke much you must be feeling now in the wake of this dreadful incident. she had so many friends. around the world that has been an outpouring of grief everywhere, never mind just in the streets of derry, for her family and her partner sara, this is such a shock for everyone. lyra, we were going to have dinner last night, we had arrange this dinner party at my house for easter, and she had been ringing me up to the end saying, can you get this, can you get that. she was a bundle of energy. nothing was a problem. if you would ring her and say, we are making a documentary, how do we get the money, she would
9:10 am
say, i will crowdfund, we will do this, we will do that, everything was attacked with joy and rigour, and she was so smart and beautiful. her energy, she lit up a room, for such a little person, in seconds. she could talk to anyone about anything, she really could. and she was so anything, she really could. and she was so talented. she'd just signed a book deal with faber and faber, and we we re book deal with faber and faber, and we were all going to have this supper party last night, and we did, we all got together anyway after the vigil in belfast, but she was listed about a month ago as one of the top ten most exciting young writers in the irish times. the lists go on and on for such a young woman to have achieved so much, never mind also met the love of her life, which meant everything to her.|j met the love of her life, which meant everything to her. i know this isn't easy for you to talk about, andi isn't easy for you to talk about, and i think everyone appreciates
9:11 am
that. what emerges, just hearing some of her words there and what i've certainly heard from everything that she stood for is the horrible irony of her dying a violent death like this in those circumstances given everything that she stood for and she believed in. she had written and she believed in. she had written a lot about this generation of hope and what could be achieved with peace here, and she also wrote about the dark side of that, the suicide rates, communities that were struggling, and that hadn't really healed, and there was a sense of perhaps high unemployment in these places, and a lot of stuff hanging over from the past, places, and a lot of stuff hanging overfrom the past, drugs places, and a lot of stuff hanging over from the past, drugs and things. she was compassionate but fearless, and the fact that this happened to her, and the fact that we are hearing of this arrest is just heartbreaking. the vigil is
9:12 am
across derry, there are more in northern ireland, there is dublin, there is across the country, and they represent, we don't want this, we don't want this here, we don't wa nt we don't want this here, we don't want violence on our streets. you mentioned the vigils, and we have seen some mentioned the vigils, and we have seen some of those images this morning, including we've heard from her partner, who addressed one of those vigils, which must have been incredibly difficult to do. ijust wonder what comfort people who loved her but also the wider community will get from seeing people getting together in the most dreadful of circumstances, but is it possible that something positive could come out of this? and i don't want to sound inappropriate, i hope you understand what i mean. sound inappropriate, i hope you understand what i meanlj sound inappropriate, i hope you understand what i mean. i know what you mean. the fact that we had arlene foster in the craigen yesterday, so the death of a gay woman, a gay woman who fought for lg bt woman, a gay woman who fought for lgbt rights, all her life woman who
9:13 am
was going to get married to her partner, not in northern ireland obviously because we don't have those rights, but the fact that she brought all the leaders together and the fact that arlene foster went there talked about this. for the first time ever, it is unbelievable, andl first time ever, it is unbelievable, and i hope that we get things moving and i hope that we get things moving and we get back, roll our sleeves up and we get back, roll our sleeves up and get back into politics and get moving. we want to move on from what we have here, people want to be together, people want... she united people, she united people in life and she has united them in death, and she has united them in death, and she has united them in death, and she is a shining spark. thank you for your time this morning. that friend, journalist as well, and as you heard then, that was last night in the wake of the dreadful incident, so clearly a lot of shell—shocked people in that
9:14 am
community, and her friends shell—shocked people in that community, and herfriends and obviously her loved ones feeling it most of all. we need to also just remind you that in the last hour, hour and a half, we have heard the news of the major investigation team detectives have arrested, police have arrested two men aged 18 and 19 under the terrorism act in connection with the murder of lyra mckee in that area of derry on thursday the 18th of april. you got a glimpse of him there, 1a minutes past nine, you got a glimpse of stav. glorious weather about. absolutely. it really is warm, not record—breaking but not far off. we saw temperature reached nearly 30 degrees 70 years ago. it is going to be very warm over the bank holiday weekend on monday, but there will a lwa ys weekend on monday, but there will always be a little cloud over the north—west of the country. a beautiful scene here behind me in
9:15 am
west sussex with the rapeseed feel, that brilliant yellow shining under the sun. temperatures yesterday reached 2a in the south and in wales, but always cooler along the east coast from the northern islands down towards east anglia. this weather front continues to flirt with the north—east corner of the uk, andi with the north—east corner of the uk, and i have put the wind arrows on to show you the breeze, so the sunshine will be hazy there, and we could see just a few spots of rain developing across the western isles, but away from here, it is a lovely afternoon. the early mist and fog is clearing away now, widespread sunshine like it was yesterday, the top temperatures in the low 20s for many of us, but like i mentioned we could see 25 or 26 degrees in the south—east, but again cooler across the north sea coast, a little mist and fog on shore, but that is a very small risk. overnight, clearskies, the mist and fog returns once again,
9:16 am
continuing with the recent outbreaks of rainfor continuing with the recent outbreaks of rain for the north—west of scotland, spots of rain at times, temperatures no lower than 4 degrees, may be double figures in larger towns and cities. we do it all again on easter sunday, then it is widespread sunshine again, those temperatures responding. more of a breeze, scotland, northern ireland, more persistent rain to the western isles, but that really is it. away from the north—west corner it is dry and sunny still, temperatures 23 or 24 and sunny still, temperatures 23 or 2a degrees, temperatures a degree or so 2a degrees, temperatures a degree or so down on what we expected this afternoon. the western mediterranean has been very unsubtle over the last few days, wet and windy, cool weather to spain, southerly winds across the board, a bit fresher, so that will be noticeable, but it will push that weather front back out into the atlantic, so brighter for the west of scotland, a bit of cloud bubbling up in the afternoon, could just see a shower develop across the south—west by the end of the day, but another war one, temperatures in
9:17 am
the low 20s once again. beyond easter monday it looks like things turn unsubtle, we could see an increasing chance of showers, maybe longer spells of rain, so much could be thunder in temperature is gradually coming down to nearer normalfor gradually coming down to nearer normal for the gradually coming down to nearer normalfor the time of gradually coming down to nearer normal for the time of year. thank you very much, stav! it certainly is a treat. makes a change. lots of people go to the garden centre in this weather. and i wasn't aware that if you can eat them, so a tomato plant, for example, you don't pay vat, but a geranium, for example, or an orchid, you geranium, for example, or an orchid, y°u pay geranium, for example, or an orchid, you pay tax. people want that change, and laura is taking a look at it.
9:18 am
becca had struggled with anxiety and depression for months. counselling didn't work, medication didn't work, but then she was given a house plant 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. becca isn't the only one. the popularity of house plants 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 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 01’ green space. if they are feeling that the cost of acquiring those plants is prohibitive, i think that is a great shame.
9:19 am
anything that makes plants more affordable will be a good thing. a lot of people will make a difference in a recovery from health issues. 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 notjust a nice thing to decorate one possible space, but they are an important thing in a healthy lifestyle. ina in a statement, the treasury said: but becca says the well—being you get from plants is so immense it is worth considering.
9:20 am
it has been quite life—changing, actually. in quite a small way but also a very big way. laura foster, bbc news, norwich. yes, andi yes, and i firmly yes, and ifirmly agree yes, and i firmly agree that plants have that effect. quite right, too. i'm encouraging us to have some in here. are you good with plants? no. it's 20 minutes past nine. let's have a look at the papers. our guest this morning as mike barton, chief co nsta ble of this morning as mike barton, chief constable of durham police. can you reflect for us at the moment on can you reflect for us at the moment o n eve nts unfolding with the protesters, because the polarised opinion is why did the police not steam straightaway, get them off the streets, open the bridge is up and get on with it? why were they
9:21 am
treating them differently to other protesters ? o n treating them differently to other protesters? on the other hand, people were saying how lovely, police were taking what seemed like a more organic, calm approach. so tell us what the rules are. you sum it up perfectly, there are always opposing sides. when the police are involved, there will always be polarised opinion, and generally we have got to try and work out what is that democratic way so that society can rub along. we can only use as much force as is necessary. but they are perhaps causing an obstruction. what you have seen on the news, between four and six people to take away the protesters, and they seem to me to bejolly away the protesters, and they seem to me to be jolly well prepared, they have been trained in how to make it much more difficult for the offices to take them away. and if it we re offices to take them away. and if it were to become violent, and i think sometimes these sort of protests,
9:22 am
they are stolen by a violent fringe, and then we can actually move in in and then we can actually move in in a traditional way. and then we can actually move in in a traditionalway. i know and then we can actually move in in a traditional way. i know police don't get involved in politics in traditional way, but some people suggest that because it is a nice message that on the whole most people agree with, there is a problem with climate change, these people are trying to make a good point, that it is almost like the police are taking a position on it, saying, you fair enough. it is an important message, and as a result, you are important message, and as a result, you are more important message, and as a result, you are more flexible with the law. i've got a family like you, i live in society like you. police officers are part of society. we are not immune from thinking things. the one thing we are not allowed to get involved in is party politics, and i think that is right. but you can't extra ct think that is right. but you can't extract police officers from everyday society. so i'm not saying that this is a nice message, a soft
9:23 am
message, we would like to hijack it for our own purposes. but it's difficult to say to a police officer if they are faced with 20 people who are not causing an immediate threat, what is that police officers are going to do? it is an interesting area, isn't it. it is set to continue. shall we talk about your knees? your knees are older than you? in i'm 62, but my niece a 75. we had a good discussion about knees this week, because this has caught your eye. it has, for a number of reasons. a new bone has been found, it is the cecil —— it is the sesamoid bone because it looks like a sesame seed. and these bones, fascinating little things, they are
9:24 am
actually pulleys for tendons to slide over, but they are about to 90, slide over, but they are about to go, and then they found that they are coming back, and they think it's because we are getting longer bones, heavier bones, so you need more of these things to ease the tension. that could be the cause of your knee problems. they say four people with osteoarthritis tend to have these. my osteoarthritis tend to have these. my son is a doctor, and i paid a lot of money for him to train as a doctor, and i kept wanting to fix my knees and all he ever said was, lose weight and exercise more. seven yea rs weight and exercise more. seven years to train as a doctor and that is the only advice he gave me! sometimes that's the best advice. is the only advice he gave me! sometimes that's the best advicelj wa nt sometimes that's the best advice.” want a pill to fix it! where are you going to take us next. let's go to the classic fm story. this is classic fm relating to much younger
9:25 am
listeners, and particularly for revising time. this takes me back to my a—levels, way back in the mists of time, i revised to rick wakeman and the six wives of henry viii, and thatis and the six wives of henry viii, and that is what students find much easier to revise to. do you have music playing in your police stations in order to create a calming atmosphere? we don't, but perhaps we ought. i will experiment. you are not going to, are you?” perhaps we ought. i will experiment. you are not going to, are you? i am! would it be banned? if you are playing music, you have to have a license, so you can'tjust play it. you can't just switch license, so you can'tjust play it. you can'tjust switch the radio on? no, not if you're in a public place. you have to have a licence. we want to have a look at this. i'm not sure if this story would have freaked me out or if i would have been all right with it. this all came from a young lad, william atkins, 1a, who decided a few months ago to just see
9:26 am
what would happen if he bought some eggs from waitrose and see whether 01’ eggs from waitrose and see whether or not they hatched, and they did. so then the daily mail have done an experiment on which sort of eggs. quail eggs and duck eggs are the ones, and you can see this little duck, and it has turned into a big one, so quails and ducks hatch, and thatis one, so quails and ducks hatch, and that is because the occasional drake or the occasional male quail is actually with the females, whereas with hens it doesn't work. just to be clear, this is extremely unusual, this is exceptional, isn't it? well, it is rare for it to happen, because when the eggs are chilled, that kills them, but two of the 18 quails eggs hatched, and one of the ducks did, and now they've looked into it, a p pa re ntly did, and now they've looked into it, apparently quails, quail farms, quite like the males walking around the hens, because it keeps them
9:27 am
calm, and with ducks, they think that drakes fly in. you see, that perturbed me a little bit. because there is a joy in the ignorance of just thinking because there is a joy in the ignorance ofjust thinking the eggs are dead when you eat the eggs. we don't know enough about our food. outside my area of expertise there. thank you very much, good to see you. you know who would know? mike. no, saturday kitchen! their next, they will know. our special guest today might try to put together a saturday kitchen choir, it is gareth malone, good luck with that! you will be joining us to face your food heaven and food hell, and amongst many things, tell us about your heaven. duckis things, tell us about your heaven. duck is heaven for me, but i cannot abide rice pudding. rice pudding? away fans over here? love it. you
9:28 am
might be outvoted. we also have two great chefs here. tim anderson, what will you be making? two japanese soul food classic, proper rahman and dumplings. and what will you be making for us? a barbecued chicken with pears and some pickled korean carrots. and olly smith, you are here with delicious wines and booze in general. the booze cabinet is surfing on safari around the world, a beerfrom britain, one from south africa, could be a sweet wine from france depending on which way heaven and hell goes. and you are in charge of what gareth eats at the end of the show, so go to the website promoting details. see you at ten. let's see what's coming up on the rest of the programme this morning.
9:29 am
9:30 am
hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up before ten, we 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. we were going to have dinner last night, right up until the end she said with you get this and that. she was a bundle of energy. nothing was a problem. she would ring you up and
9:31 am
say, how are you going to do this? we will do this and this, everything was attacked with joy and rigour. she was so smart and beautiful and she lit up a room. she lit up a room in seconds. 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. 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. an investigation is underway
9:32 am
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.
9:33 am
by far the greatest volume 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 the concerns about pupil indiscipline. 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. the boy band, bts, have become the first ever south korean act to have a number one album in the uk. the seven—member group are part of the hugely popular k—pop genre. this latest album went straight to the top of the charts, days after their new single broke
9:34 am
the youtube record for the most views in 2a hours, with 74.6 million hits. let us listen in. they sing. you are not convinced, charlie? you are not convinced, charlie ?m you are not convinced, charlie? ifi am honest, no offence, it leaves me cold and i was not aware of the phenomenon but 75 million people cannot be wrong. this will sound really old, it sounds like every other electronically manipulated music. exactly. wasn't it gangnam
9:35 am
style which started the whole thing? i will look it up. i will get onto the sport. first of all boxing. the josh miller —— the big fight is off. jarelle miller, has used social media decided to address the whole matter, surrounding his failed drugs test, releasing this video message on instagram. i messed up, i made a bad call. there's a lot of ways of handling the situation, i handled it wrongly and i'm paying the price for it. i missed a big opportunity. i'm hurting inside. my heart is bleeding right now, i hurt my family, my friends, my team, my supporters but i own up to it.
9:36 am
i am going to deal with it and correct it. 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, ade doyin is there. this is a huge setback for anthonyjoshua'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 afterjarell miller tested positive for another banned substance, human growth hormone, in a drug test last month. the new opponent can probably name his price as it will be such short notice. miller has blown the biggest opportunity of his career, and perhaps the biggest payday of his career, as he was due to earn over $5 million. new yorkers know their boxing, there have been some iconic fights here at madison square garden, and if the opponent doesn't come up to scratch here they will make their feelings known. joshua's opponent will be named next week. also at madison square garden, in the early hours, of tomorrow,
9:37 am
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. it has to rank up there 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 win this fight, to become world champion again and to achieve all my dreams and goals. now manchester city and tottenham, have 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. wow. this game has absolutely everything. drama, the ecstasy. what a roller—coaster for the players and
9:38 am
fans. we can't believe what we have just seen. how do you get up and go again after that? seven goals, two match turning var decisions. soaring and breaking one way or another. three days later manchester city and tottenham meet again — throw together by the fixture list. for city, their manager wants wednesday night to fuel them. the show goes on. inside it will hurt, it will be in our minds. looking back, looking behind, is no good, you have to move forward. it was a tough night. the day after, we stand up, move forward and we play football. these kind of players will have an opportunity. revenge might provide one motivation, the league table is another. win and manchester city will go top, above liverpool.
9:39 am
