against the standard rate of vat. and the travel show heads to madrid where a transport revolution is under way. that's in half an hour here on bbc news. good morning. welcome to bbc news. police in northern ireland have arrested two men in connection with the killing of lyra mckee in londonderry. the pair, aged 18 and 19, have been been detained under the terrorism act. the 29—year—old journalist, whose final moments were captured by cctv, was struck by a bullet as she was observing rioting in derry on thursday night. let's go to belfast now and speak to our reporter louise cullen. what more do we know about the arrests 7 what more do we know about the arrests? we know that these two teenaged men were arrested in

londonderry this morning. the police have said they were brought there from belfast to the psni serious crime suite for questioning, and that process is continuing. yesterday they release the cctv footage showing their final moments. the footage appears to show a gunman leaning out from under cover, firing a number of shots and then running away. another man appears to gather away. another man appears to gather a number of items from the ground before running away as well. lyra was standing with a number of other journalists alongside a police vehicle. she was struck by a bullet, was lifted into the back of the vehicle, and the officer driving the police car drove through a burning barricade, we understand, to try to get the young woman to hospital and help as quickly as possible. when she reached the hospital, lyra mckee died from her injuries. yesterday saw a huge outpouring of grief and shock and sorrow, notjust in northern ireland but around the world. former president bill clinton has been tweeting his shock and

sadness at the murder that happened on thursday night. what about the range of political action and the sense that there has been one message coming from all the communities in northern ireland to express their horror at this attack? the leaders of six of the parties he attended a vigil in the craigen in londonderry where lyra was shot. leaders standing as one, and they issued a joint statement earlier in the day saying that killing was a pointless and futile act to try to wreck the progress made in the past 20 years. yesterday it was the anniversary of the signing of the good friday agreement. there has been universal condemnation of the killing, and many have attended other vigils, there will be other

vigils across northern ireland today, perhaps indicative of the horror and revulsion that this young woman's killing has provoked across the community. thank you very much. earlier this morning lyra's close friend alison miller spoke to the bbc. she had so many friends, there has been an outpouring of grief everywhere, never mind just on the streets of derry. this has been such a shock for everyone. lyra, we were going to have dinner last night, we had arranged this dinner party at my house for easter, and she was ringing me right up to the end saying, will you get this, 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, i will help you, we will do this. everything was attacked with i°y this. everything was attacked with joy and rigour, and she was so smart and beautiful, and her energy, she lit upa

and beautiful, and her energy, she lit up a room, for this little person shejust lit up a room, for this little person she just lit up a room in seconds. she can talk to anyone about anything, she really could. and she was so talented, she had just signed a book deal, with faber and faber, so anna burns had befriended her through 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 you know, 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 was what meant everything to her. and allison miller's tribute to her friend lyra mckee. 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 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. with me as paul dorrington, a lead implement specialist at south west london and st george's mental health trust. paul, you have been using this approach for a number of years now. how does it work, and how is it tailored to the needs of the individual? because of course mental health outcomes can be very different for different people. how it works is it takes an individual, where they are. it focuses on their

skills and attributes. helps them to identify meaningful goals in terms of location, and that is different things for different people. and then part of my collaboration with my clinical colleagues, psychiatrist and so on, we develop a recovery plan and then we work with employers to develop strategies and vocational rehabilitation plans so that someone who is no longer sick and can't work, they can manage their health and work together. how much does this hinge on the willingness of employers to adapt their expectations? you have willing clients because it is a voluntary scheme, nobody is being forced into it, but i wonder how much it works that it matters with employers. we work closely with employers when we place our clients into a job to provide them with the tools and strategies in which to make the

invisible visible, so the challenges they have, we teach managers and leaders how to recognise them, and together with the client we create collaborative plans, so they are working very importantly for a successful intervention. and what is the evidence base for its success? i can understand why you could claim that making an initial intervention has some impact, because somebody who often feels, can feel very isolated, suddenly feel somebody else is there for them fighting their corner. but longer term, are people staying in jobs, their corner. but longer term, are people staying injobs, or is it falling back for whatever reason? this is the result of around 16 yea rs of this is the result of around 16 years of evidence—based trials in practice, and it works better then any other model in the world, we know that. it doesn't work for everyone, but statistically it has high results comparatively. and the question again, sorry? effectively if you are looking at how you have

got people into work, how do you ensure they stay in work, because things can change over the course of their experience. that is the strength of ips practitioners, is that we get to carry on supporting someone. traditional method so, if someone. traditional method so, if someone is ready for work, they don't need us anymore. so when they are most stressed and need the most help. so we rapidly get people into work and work with the client to develop coping strategies alongside the employers so that it is long—term, and we work with at a time limit for the care of our client. as long as they are under ourteam, until client. as long as they are under our team, until they are working independently, all the adjustments in place, and ultimately it is a very long term and a very successful approach. it is encouraging to see it being rolled out. i suppose the practicality is going to be finding enough people to provide the support for the actual caseworkers and all the rest of it. i am the leader in

south—west london, and i supervise seven employment specialists. we are going to be looking at some very passionate individuals that have values in terms of wanting to help people rebuild their lives. yes, it is going to be quite a recruitment drive, actually, so i won't start doing that on my film. but from your point of view, you think there is demand for the service, you just hope you can meet it? 10096. demand for the service, you just hope you can meet it? 100%. over demand for the service, you just hope you can meet it? 10096. over the last 16 years, there has always been demand, and even five year plan we are going to reach so many more people. but this is an industry that has always been in demand, yes, very much so. paul durrington, a lead implement specialist at south west london and st george's mental health trust, thank you very much for coming and talking to is. thank you very much, care. police in london say they've now arrested more than 680 people since climate change protests began last monday. last night they removed a pink boat which had been blocking the road at oxford circus at the centre

of the protests, saying they were trying their best to give nearby shops a chance to get back to business as usual. our reporterjenny kumah is at marble arch. we arejust we are just showing you some pictures of the scene this morning. that is down at oxford circus. and as you see, the numbers are nothing like as busy as they had been during the course of the week. it is a lovely sunny morning, of course, which is bringing people out on the streets anyway, but on this particular occasion, the police almost seem to outnumber the protesters at the moment. that is probably because the protester numbers have reduced over the last 24 numbers have reduced over the last 26 hours. in part because of police action, as they have tried to move them away and persuade people to congregate elsewhere. jenny, that is where police would like the protesters to be. what sign that

they are going to co—operate with that? as you can see, there is quite a significant presence here. there are quitea a significant presence here. there are quite a few people based here in the road, and if you look around here, on the green there is a significant number of tents and people that are basing themselves here, so it seems that some people have listened. but on my way here i walked past a number of protesters that are still based at oxford circus, and yesterday oxford circus was the centre of the considerable police effort. there was a large number of officers who went down there. people have attached themselves to a large pink boat, and after several hours, they were removed and so was the boat, but it was towed away in the early evening, and quitea was towed away in the early evening, and quite a large number of protesters walked alongside the boat as it was towed away, and that boat had become quite a big signal of the protests here. we are on day six no.

sajid javid said early in the wiki what are the police to use the full force of the law, and police have been using what is known as a section 16 notice of a public order act, which basically means they can ask people to move on, and if they don't, they can be arrested. now, the big challenge for the police has been that large numbers of people have been arrested, and this has caused logistical issues in terms of space in police cells and the impact on the criminaljustice system, but also once they have been released, a lot of people are returning to the protest. i was speaking to people up in oxford circus on my way down here, and are said to them, police are asking people to base themselves down at marble arch or you will be moved on, but they said they were determined to carry on. in terms of, we have heard a lot about heathrow as well, so yesterday there was a small protest there, and today the police have said that there is a robust policing plan in place there to make sure that people can get

away for their easter break, and also to ensure that people who want to come into london, that they can do so without disruption. they are focusing today on being able to enable oxford circus to get back to normal in terms of retailers, shoppers and people going about their business. jenny at marble arch, thank you very much. let's just take another look at the picture at oxford circus this morning. these are the live scenes just in the centre of where the two streets cross, very close to where we are now in fact bbc broadcasting house. i have to say, i have been in and out of this building during the course of the week. the numbers were significantly more than they appeared to be now, so perhaps that is not too surprising. both with the police operation in some suggestion that those protesters might be working on a sort of rotor. they are trying to ensure that there is a lwa ys trying to ensure that there is always somebody there, and a critical number to maintain the protest to prevent the police from

clearing it away altogether. so, not the numbers we have seen, but still significant numbers of people supporting that demonstration. a british man hailed as a hero for stopping a global cyber—attack has made a public apoilogy after pleading guilty to malware charges in the us. 24—year—old marcus hutchins was credited with stopping an attack which threatened the nhs and other major organisations two years ago — but yesterday pleaded guilty to charges relating to a banking malware that could be used to steal passwords in 2014. he has since released a statement on his website, saying "i regret these actions and accept full responsibility for my mistakes. having grown up, i've since been using the same skills that i misused several years ago for constructive purposes." engineering works on the west coast main line are causing severe disruption for rail passengers over this easter bank holiday weekend. services between scotland

and northern england are affected, with no trains running north of lancaster. it's because of a £4 million signal and track upgrade which won't be completed until tuesday morning. 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. 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 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 pupil indiscipline. lets ta ke lets take a look at the headlines now on bbc news. two people have been arrested over the murder of lyra mckee in londonderry. the teenagers are being held under the terrorism act. researchers say nearly one in ten heart attacks and strokes could be prevented if routine check—ups were better targeted. nhs england is expanding a scheme aimed at helping thousands more sport and for a full round up, from the bbc anthonyjoshua needs to find a new

opponent to fight. miller has been opening up on social media overnight saying he is paying the price for a bad call. i messed up. i messed up, i made a bad call. a lot of ways to handle the situation, i handled it wrongly, and i'm paying the price for it. i'm missing a big opportunity, and i'm hurting on the inside. my heart is bleeding right now. my family, my friends, my team, my supporters. but i'm owning up to it, i'm going to deal with it and corrected. if you had plans to go to new york on june corrected. if you had plans to go to new york onjune the 1st, joshuapromoter eddie hearn has confirmed that a replacement will be found. this is a huge setback for anthonyjoshua's camp, found. this is a huge setback for anthony joshua's camp, because found. this is a huge setback for anthonyjoshua's camp, because they have six weeks to find a credible

opponent for his debut at madison square garden. this is after his opponent tested positive for human growth hormone. whoever thejoshua camp select, will be able to pretty much select their price, because this fight will happen at short notice. miller has blown the biggest opportunity of his career, and possibly the biggest payday of his career, he was due to get $5 million. americans know them boxes, and if it is not up to scratch, they will make their views known. and ania khan faces one of the toughest challenges of his career. he weighed in slightly heavier than american terence crawford, and he is a big underdog with the bookies, but he said victory in this bout would be his biggest achievement. in the football, manchester city and spurs face each other again just three days after the most dramatic of champions league matches ever seen. this time at lunchtime and in the premier league, and city will go

back top if they win. can brighton ease their relegation fears? and newcastle and southampton in the evening match, you would have to say one more win for either side would make the mathematically safe. celtic could win again tomorrow if they beat hibs and rangers don't win. one of the world's most famous middle—distance kiprop has been banned. the former champion has a lwa ys banned. the former champion has always maintained his innocence, but said lastjune always maintained his innocence, but said last june that always maintained his innocence, but said lastjune that he was giving up his attempt to prove that his sample had been tampered with. british number one johanna konta is had been tampered with. british number onejohanna konta is hoping for more home crowd energy as great britain aim for fed cup promotion. the team, led by anne keothavong, face kaza khsta n the team, led by anne keothavong, face kazakhstan in their player for the copper box arena this weekend, hoping to end a 26 year wait to reach will group two. all of us are

really looking forward to this opportunity, keeping in mind that we are going out there, giving the best we can and we will come away with what we come away with, but we are definitely all there and excited to have another opportunity to get to that group, which we have actually had a number of opportunities now, and that is also a real feat in itself. i think everyone is looking forward to getting started. it is that time of year when the world snooker championship to get under way. let's take you live to the first morning to the crucible in sheffield, and this is what is happening right now. defending champion mark williams is not on the table at the moment, that is his opponent martin gould. williams was saying that he is now 1111 and he thinks that the world snooker authorities really want a younger player to win, because he won last year, for the first time in 15 yea rs, year, for the first time in 15 years, at the age of 43, which was pretty incredible. but goule here taking early control of the table. but it is very early days, the best

of 19 frames. coverage over on bbc two. shaun, that's all for now. mike, thank you very much. polls have opened in egypt for a three—day referendum on changes to the constitution that would further concentrate power in the hands of president abdul fattah al—sisi. the amendments extend mr sisi's term from four to six years, and allow him to stand for a third term — meaning he could remain in office until 2030. they also grant him wide control over judicial appointments and strengthen the role of the military. mr sisi's government has crushed opposition since he took power in 2013 and opponents of these measures have been unable to organise a serious campaign. youssef taha from the bbc world service is following this story for us. it isa it is a foregone conclusion by all accounts, really. the current changes would change the tone from

four years to six years, and it is a maximum of two terms, but the current parliament which is practically all backers and loyalists of president sisi himself, would give special dispensation for him to continue his economic reforms and reconstructing the country, and therefore they are granting him an extra term, third one, so his current term would finish in 2022, but they are extending that to six yea rs, but they are extending that to six years, so in effect, they are extending retrospectively, so that would be 2024, plus a third term in special circumstances, so he would stay in power until 2030 if these changes are approved. that's the bbc world service. house plants do much more than simply decorate our homes — they can bring a sense of calm and help the environment. currently, plants which aren't considered food, are subject to full vat, but campaigners say that should be reduced. laura foster has more.

i think you don't need that, there we go. 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 wellbeing 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 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 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 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 you are just saying this because you are a plant company. what do you say to that? 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. ina in a statement, the treasury said:

but becca says the well—being you get from plants is so immense it is worth considering. it has been quite life—changing, actually. in quite a small way but also a very big way. laura foster, bbc news, norwich. here with me on the line now is rob slade, who owns a business selling houseplants in london. thank you forjoining us this easter weekend. what do you make of this campaign? i think it's interesting. house plans, there has been such a big resurgence around them, and how people are using them, experimenting with them and playing with them, and i guess anything that gets people more into them, more accessible, is quite useful and quite exciting, as becker mentioned, because of the benefits it brings to your home and your environment. what is driving the resurgence have you been talking to customers to get an idea of why

this added and fresh enthusiasm for house plants? i think there are a few things that we have seen that is forcing and driving that trend. i think a big forcing and driving that trend. i thinka big part forcing and driving that trend. i think a big part of it is around corporations and office spaces. they are investing heavily in greenery because it does improve the environment you are working in. it increases productivity, and just your overall happiness to be there. and i think sometimes if you are working on those spaces and getting the advantages of those green things, and then you are going home and they are missing, you do kinda feel that impact. and also, there is something really cool about growing something, it is really satisfying. and although it may take you a few attem pts and although it may take you a few atte m pts to and although it may take you a few attempts to figure out which plant is the plan for you, once you have nailed that, it is really cool, and when people buy theirfirst nailed that, it is really cool, and when people buy their first plants with us, we encourage them to take a photo, because in six months' time, after a growing season, looks com pletely after a growing season, looks completely different, and it is really rewarding seeing things grow

and change, they have babies which is exciting, you can become a plant grandparent quite fast. it is exciting, and it is a rewarding hobby. hobby, in your case also a business. do you have a favourite plant, a plant that brings you particular pleasure that makes you smile when you walk into a room and seeit? smile when you walk into a room and see it? yes, there are some cool pla nts see it? yes, there are some cool plants which move... move? did i miss here you? explain! they move throughout the day, so they start quite tight wound, this one is in that family. they start their day quite tight, closed up, and you can see the underside of the leaves, and then throughout the day they open up and move and do a sort of salutation, and that night time they go back again. it is a bit creepy having a pet plant that is physically moving, but it is quite

fun. do you talk to your plants? if they've got a name, i will talk to them. i will say hello to them. we have got veronica, she has been with us have got veronica, she has been with us for quite a while, so i say hello to her. i can see why house plants can make you happy. rob slade, thank you very much. no worries, thanks. i'm sorry we didn't get to meet veronica on this occasion. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav. hello there, today will be the peak of this warm and sunny weather with temperatures reaching 25 or 26 in the south—east. easter weekend looks fine and sunny foremost of us but more cloud in the north—west of the country thanks to this weather front which will produce a hazy sunshine and some rain in the north—west. elsewhere widespread sunshine. in

the 20s for most
