government's role and how much they knew and when. that is something thatis knew and when. that is something that is on the minds of many sri lankans that is on the minds of many sri la n ka ns two that is on the minds of many sri lanka ns two days that is on the minds of many sri lankans two days after these terrible blasts. the fact is, there isa terrible blasts. the fact is, there is a lot of anger at reports that have been circulating widely, memos that have been treated by various ministers as well, as well as a press c0 nfe re nce ministers as well, as well as a press conference that took place yesterday by the spokesperson for the cabinet, essentially blaming the government for keeping the prime minister and his —— team government for keeping the prime ministerand his —— team in government for keeping the prime minister and his —— team in the dark about intelligence reports and reports by many foreign intelligence agencies that such an attack was about to take place. 0k, thank you very much for bringing us up today. thank you. brexit talks between the government and labour will resume this afternoon as mps return to westminster after the easter break. cabinet ministers will meet senior opposition figures to try to break the deadlock over the prime minister's withdrawal agreement. but a number of tory mps are angry that labour is involved. let's go to our political

correspondent chris mason, who's at westminster. chris, we have had a few days break and we are back to the brexit madness. good morning to you. the easter bunny has run for the hills. probably because it got wind of the fa ct we probably because it got wind of the fact we would be talking about read that again everything all day for quite a long time. there has been about one week's respite for mps to clear their heads, really, and now come back to westminster and start the discussions again. and where are we? guess what, we are where we were, which is labour and the conservatives are in tall to try to break the impasse. no sign of that yet. that will continue, those talks will continue this week. meanwhile, conservative backbenchers will get together stop they will have plenty of time to meet their local activists over the easter break, lots of canvassing going on for local elections in parts of the country. and also the european parliament elections taking place next month. the 1922 committee of

conservative backbenchers will gather this afternoon to chew the fat and work out where they are. the other thing that is brewing as local conservative campaigners have managed to secure a non—binding vote in the prime minister, as far as her future is concerned. the problem for them is what we have got now in the conservative party is a bit like a mechanic that is frustrated because they don't have the necessary spanner they don't have the necessary spanner to do the repairjob that they want to do. in other words, they want to do. in other words, they don't have the tool to remove they don't have the tool to remove the prime minister. they had a go at doing that before christmas and failed that vote of no—confidence and are to find alternative ways of expressing their frustration. and are to find alternative ways of expressing theirfrustration. here is one soul expressing that frustration, conservative mp nigel eva ns. frustration, conservative mp nigel evans. i find it hugely frustrating and my own view now is that i believe that we need fresh leadership. and i hope that we are

able to persuade theresa may that now is the time to go. she is reaching out, i know, to the labour party and to jeremy corbyn, when she should have been reaching out to 17 point —— 17.4 million people. should have been reaching out to 17 point -- 17.4 million people. that is the problem for the prime minister. plenty on her own side are deeply frustrated. here we go again then. thank you for setting us up so beautifully for the next few days, mr mason. thank you. police in northern ireland say there's been a "massive" public response after the killing ofjournalist lyra mckee in londonderry. the 29—year—old was shot as she watched rioting on thursday night. a group called the new ira has admitted responsibility for her death. 0ur ireland correspondent, chris pagejoins us from our belfast newsroom. good morning to you. what can you tell us lizzie lowe louise, there

has been a widespread international condemnation of the murder of lyra mckee. she was 29 years old. she was a freelance writer. she was shot dead by a gunman on thursday night. 0vernight we have had a statement from the dissident republican group known as the new ira. it was issued toa known as the new ira. it was issued to a newspaper in belfast, the irish news, it is thought to be the largest and most active of the dissident republican parliamentary organisations who are opposed to the peace process. the new ira said it was behind the killing of lyra mckee and it has also apologised for the killing. the police have said that there has been a huge response to their appealfor there has been a huge response to their appeal for information about their appeal for information about the murder stop 143 people have contacted them online. there is a portal to upload mobile phone footage, for example. detectives are yet to find the gun that was used to murder lyra mckee and so they said they want more people from the local

community to come forward to them. 0k, chris, thank you very much for bringing us up—to—date. the swedish schoolgirl credited with encouraging young people across the uk to protest against climate change, is taking her message to westminster this morning. greta thunberg, who addressed a crowd of anti—climate change protestors in london on sunday, hopes to meet political leaders, and urge them to act now. she told bbc radio 4's today programme, that people need to start panicking about the crisis facing the planet. you said something very striking the other day. you said we needed to panic, we can't just other day. you said we needed to panic, we can'tjust have a polite conversation about this any day. what did you mean? conversation about this any day. what did you mean7|j conversation about this any day. what did you mean? i mean, by panic imean what did you mean? i mean, by panic i mean that we step out of our comfort zones and we realise what is actually going on. and so i say, if your house is on fire and you want to keep your house from burning to the ground than that does require some level of panic. you don't sit talking about insurance claims or

rebuilding, renovations, then you do everything you can to put out the fire. within the next few hours, it's expected that donald trump will confirm that he's to make a state visit to the uk. the president was promised the visit by theresa may shortly after he was elected in 2016, but no date was set. it's thought the trip could now coincide with the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings, injune. why you taken aback by somebody sneezing in the gallery? it was a very loud sneeze. which only we can hear. hope you are well and recovering. take a look at these new photos of prince louis, which have been released to mark his first birthday. )the youngest child of the duke and duchess of cambridge is seen playing in the garden of the family's home, on the sandringham estate in norfolk. catherine took the pictures herself, earlier this month. gorgeous. look at those eyes.

leeds united could have blown their chances of automatic promotion. they lost their second consecutive game at brentford. norwich and sheffield united are now on the brink of reaching the premier league. raheem sterling has called for tougher punishments for those found guilty of racism in football. he says clubs should be deducted points as well as being forced to play three matches behind closed doors. and there could be a big shock at the world snooker championship. amateurjames cahill leads world number one ronnie 0'sullivan five frames to four in sheffield. talks about chelsea at the top of that. but also well done, but only. a good point. thank you very much. we will see with the papers in a couple of moments. we know the weather has been glorious. will it continue? carole, good morning. good morning. today it is. but as we go through this week it is not. it is quite chilly outside. you will need

a light jacket. later on quite chilly outside. you will need a lightjacket. later on it will warm up quite nicely. not quite what we saw at the weekend. we look at easter monday temperatures. 0n easter monday temperatures. 0n easter monday temperatures. 0n easter monday we had record—breaking temperatures in each of the four nations, as you can see there for easter monday. the highest temperature of the year so far on saturday, when in hampshire, gosford, the temperature soared to 25.5. not bad for this time of year, if you like it sunny and warm. as we go through this week it is going to turn much more unsettled and it is also going to turn fresher. in fact, by next weekend, on the mountains only in the north we will see somewhat winteriness. hard to believe when you think of the weekend just gone. 0n the satellite picture can see a bit of cloud around. it is producing showery outbreaks in western areas. it will turn the sunshine hazy as we go through the course of the day. today we are looking at a lot of dry weather, and a lot of sunshine, don't forget hazy sunshine at times, more cloud coming in across eastern

scotla nd more cloud coming in across eastern scotland and north—east england. we will see showers in the west. a lot of them dying out. we will also see some showers potentially develop, for example, across central and southern england, south—west england as well, and possibly wales through the course of the afternoon. there will be a noticeable breeze and the kind of temperature values we are looking at today, not as high as we had at the weekend, but still, for the time of year, they are higher than we would expect. we're at temperatures picking this afternoon at around about 20— 22 degrees. locally we might get 23. at this time of year in london, for example, the average temperature is around 16 degrees. so we are way above. as we had on through the evening and overnight we will start to see some showers coming in across the south—west of england. some of those will be heavy, potentially thundery as well as they sweep steadily across the south—west of england, in

three parts of wales and parts of central southern england potentially as well. apart from that we have cloud coming in from the north sea, drifting further west, not a particularly cold night for most towns and cities, the temperatures will be 7— 13 degrees. that is how we start tomorrow. we will start on a lot of dry weather for many of us. through the day although showers continuing to migrate northwards. by the end of the day, possibly getting as far as northern ireland and parts of southern scotland. again, the potential for them to be heavy and thundery. for most of scotland it will be dry and another fine day. on thursday we are looking at more showers coming up from the south. they will be rattling steadily northwards stop almost anywhere on thursday could catch a shower. 0ne thing of note is the temperatures. much fresher than it has been. the u nsettled much fresher than it has been. the unsettled theme continues to the end of the week and potentially into next weekend as well. so it is all

change. is changing that we can be thankful for a wonderful weekend, can't we? let's take a look at today's papers. the times leads on the bomb attacks in sri lanka. the paper says the victims of the attacks come from at least ten countries, including sri lanka, the uk, australia, india, japan, united states and turkey. according to the guardian, the sri lankan authorities received warnings two weeks before the attacks on easter sunday. the paper also reports that the sri lankan health minister said the names of some of the suspects had been given to authorities earlier this month. meanwhile, the daily mail reports that some of britian's biggest shops have been using cameras on shelves to manipulate customers into spending more.

and the daily telegraph leads on the news that the health secretary plans to ban non—disclosure agreements that silence nhs whistleblowers. you can start if you want, sean. we will start off with what is in the times. biggest phone firms beaten by small rivals. we will be talking about this in about 1.5 hours time. companies like vodafone are getting the neck from customers when it comes to a survey but another company owned by the same company that own 02 but come out a bit budget and, they are winning. sparkling wine in england and wales, their sales are up according to the guardian this morning. and craft

beer flat growth as big brewers muscle in. last year, 390 craft breweries opened around the uk where as in the next 12 months, there were only a few. eight! can't divide the figure! need to be vague, need to be vague, a few. i have something quite extraordinary on the back page of the times. we have seen this a lot recently, time to take action, a picture of raheem stirling. he has been outspoken about racist abuse but actually, their lead story here is him. he has written it. he has written a piece for the times. he talks about racism, what it was like for him growing up as a kid. he says when he was growing up and playing foot ball when he was growing up and playing football he didn't know what racist abuse was because he didn't suffer any. it's crazy that in this year he

feels the need to write a piece in the national newspaper calling for change in the game he loves. isn't that interesting? as a kid, at school, he was fine. but now as an aduu school, he was fine. but now as an adult playing on the biggest stage he suffers racist abuse and he doesn'tjust talk he suffers racist abuse and he doesn't just talk about the players, he talks about black and asian fans that perhaps don't always feel safe. it isa that perhaps don't always feel safe. it is a brilliant, brilliant read. really worth reading today. can you put that aside? i want to put that aside to read later. spoiler alert. a wonderful actorfrom aside to read later. spoiler alert. a wonderful actor from line of duty coming in later. it's so complicated that even if you heard us talking about it, you wouldn't understand it. if you are up to speed, the person who plays lisa mcqueen in a

series five, if you are up to speed, you will know what i'm talking about. she is coming in after eight. there is news in the newspapers today that anna maxwell is dead chuffed to bejoining today that anna maxwell is dead chuffed to be joining the line of duty. 0h, 0k! they need to be investigated themselves. we have a quiz later. i have to concentrate with all of those acronyms. what? what? who is that? one of the best ways to get the most out of it if you haven't watched it yet is make notice as you go. you really do need a good knowledge of the old... because it's good to watch from the start. the characters come back. careful, careful! you need to know

who is in the fridge. you know who is up—to—date! 2.2 million people were checked with the nhs in england last year. jeremy bowen who is here and the great greg turnbull have been people who have been credited with the figure is up toa been credited with the figure is up to a record high. 2.2 million people because of people at will coming forward and saying listen, i have cancer, go and check yourself. excellent, thank you very much. there are calls for a change in the law, after a big increase in the number of dog attacks on livestock. farming unions are backing tougher fines for owners, and want greater legal protection forfarmers. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been to meet a couple in anglesey, who lost eight sheep in a horrific attack. there's some distressing

images in her report. they were shouting my name and saying come quick! come quick! i said, what is the problem? there was a dog attack. but it devastation, com plete a dog attack. but it devastation, complete carnage, really. —— butter. 0n complete carnage, really. —— butter. on that one day in march, the joneses and a neighbouring farm lost ten lambs and seven anglesey. the worst dog attack they had seen. utter devastation. two dead sheep everywhere. it was just terrible. the pictures were that bad. we can't even show them. these animals have had a taste for blood now. if they are pets within a family environment, how do you know they are not going to attack children? 0pposed outside the farm is saying to keep people ‘s dogs under

control. in what promises to be a record year for incidents. it is a growing concern. hundred and 13% increase in 2018. you want a change in the law. s no doubt about it. there are no formal requirements for police to record these incident. so this increase... a few miles up the north wales coast we meet stella. she is here for obedience training. but... she doesn't always do what you want her to do! she is a poodle. very high energy. this is how we lose her in the garden. few pet dogs will have the instinct to kill but jane, a trainer, tells me all have the instinct to chase and surprise. i bet you hear this all the time. my dog will never do this. we do hear

it but every single dog, no matter how well trained, is unpredictable. the bottom line is, around livestock, a dog should always be under control. wait! imagine your bodyis under control. wait! imagine your body is a brick wall. she is teaching her owners one key command. wait! but the reality is most incidents of animal attacks are from dogs that are notjust incidents of animal attacks are from dogs that are not just straight from a leash but probably an unsecured garden. well done. she did it. good girl. and praise. worrying and animal even without attacking can still call —— because death through stress and cause a pregnant animal to miscarry. you may think your dog wouldn't do anything like this but it's an animal at the end of the day

and you don't want this devastation on your ——on your own hands. we don't want people to be able to just make not to walk their dogs. just be a responsible dog owner. we will be discussing that a bit later in the programme. get in touch if you have any thoughts. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning: at sea otter. his thick fur keep him warm in the chilly water. we'll go behind the scenes of sir david attenborough's new documentary, our planet. producer keith scholeyjoins us here on the sofa after 9:00. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. the mayor of london has backed the boss of transport for london — after a damning report into crossrail suggested the tfl commissioner should consider resigning over the delays. europe's biggest infrastructure project linking east and west london had been due to open in last year but was delayed just weeks before it was due to start. it won't now fully open 2020 at the earliest. a report from the london assembly this morning says warnings that crossrail would miss its december 2018 deadline were downplayed. a day after ‘extinction rebellion' activists took—over part of the natural history museum, police have placed restrictions around parliament square to stop further disruption. about 100 people lay down under the blue whale skeleton yesterday. 1,000 people have been arrested in a week of protests. the die—in at the museum lasted around an hour. self—harm among men is increasing faster in london than anywhere else in the country. figures obtained by bbc london show that since 2005, the number of men being admitted to hospital with self—harm injuries, has more than doubled. mental health charities say it's due to a variety of reasons.

it might be because they are seeing distressing images online. it might be because of the relationships they are going through at the moment all the adversity or trauma in their life. ultimately, it's really important that we are starting to identify that young men are turning up identify that young men are turning up to hospital having self harmed because that behaviour would have gone unnoticed before. let's take a look at the travel situation now. district line has severe delays between wimbledon and edgware road due to a signal failure. it's good elsewhere. 0n the roads, extinction rebellion continue to demonstrate at marble arch. there are some delays there. 0ther roads are fully open. hammersmith bridge remains closed because of emergency repairs. and in south east london — in thamesmead: eastern way is closed for roadworks. now the weather with kate. good morning. yesterday saw the

police in northern ireland so there has been a massive public response after the killing of lyra mckee in londonderry. the 29—year—old was shot as she watched rioting on thursday night. a group called new ira has admitted responsibility for her death. brexit talks between the government and labour will resume this afternoon, as mps return to westminster after the easter break. cabinet ministers will meet senior opposition figures to try to break the deadlock over the prime minister's withdrawal agreement. but a number of tory mps are angry that labour is involved, and senior conservative backbenchers will meet later today to discuss their next moves. the swedish schoolgirl, credited with encouraging young people across the uk to protest against climate change, greta thunberg, who addressed a crowd of anti—climate change protestors in london on sunday, hopes to meet political leaders, and urge them to act now. she told bbc radio 4's ‘today‘ programme, that people need to start panicking about the crisis

facing the planet. you said something very striking the other day. you said we needed to panic, we can'tjust have a polite conversation about this any day. what did you mean? i mean, by panic i mean that we step out of our comfort zones and we realise what is actually going on. and so i say, if your house is on fire and you want to keep your house from burning to the ground than that does require some level of panic. you don't sit talking about insurance claims or rebuilding, renovations then — you do everything you can to put out the fire. within the next few hours, it's expected that donald trump will confirm that he's to make a state visit to the uk. the president was promised the visit by theresa may shortly after he was elected in 2016, but no date was set. it's thought the trip could now coincide with the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings, injune.

there's a warning that a lack of english classes for migrants will harm the integration of communities, and fuel right—wing extremism after brexit. the muslim council of britain and the association of colleges have condemned a halving of funds over the last ten years. the government says it intends to roll out a new english language strategy later in the year. emergency teams are still trying to put out a fire on moorlands in west yorkshire, thought to have been caused by a disposable barbecue. the flames started on sunday evening and quickly spread. the national trust, which looks after the site, says the area is of special importance, because of the birds which nest there. the trust says a recent £200,00 investment to preserve the habitat has now been lost. we will have more on that later as well. take a look at these new photos of prince louis, which have been released to mark his first birthday. the youngest child of the duke and duchess of cambridge is seen playing in the garden of the family's home, on the sandringham

estate in norfolk. catherine took the pictures herself, earlier this month. he looks very smart and very sweet. powerful eyes. one-year-old 's are lovely. it got a bit grumpy yesterday in the premier league. we have been talking about chelsea a lot. 0nly played brilliantly. chelsea have missed the opportunity to go third in the premier league, after being held to a 2—2 draw at home to burnley. chelsea manager maurizio sarri was sent to the stands and there was also a bust up between the players at full—time. austin halewood reports. after a weekend of favourable results, the door was ajar for chelsea to break into the top four. but despite the heat of a scorching easter weekend, the blues came out cold. burnley‘s jeff hendrick with a screamer inside the first ten minutes. chelsea needed a response

and after passing a late fitness test, there was only one man to turn to. eden hazard with a trademark weaving run. n'golo kante on hand to finish. desperate not to miss out on champions league football for a second year, now chelsea were in the mood. a rocket from gonzalo higuain blasting them into the lead. but it wouldn't last long. for all of chelsea's attacking promise, their defence was letting them down. ashley barnes was left too open and the finish all too easy. a frantic 24 minutes, in the end, was as good as it got. cesar azpilicueta, the man to go closest in a quiet second half. a point enough to take burnley to the brink of premier league survival. chelsea's frustration clear to see. with the manager sent to the stands. but despite going fourth, for chelsea, an opportunity missed. austin halewood, bbc news. we are determined that we are going to fight until the end. i believe

bit about 50 metres behind as well. evenif bit about 50 metres behind as well. even if there is not a bin. just ta ke even if there is not a bin. just take it away with you. even if there is not a bin. just take it away with youlj even if there is not a bin. just take it away with you. i don't understand how people think that is 0k. understand how people think that is ok. i live near a river. ifi go for a run today and take a bin bag, it will be filled. people have been there over the weekend. why do people think it is ok to leave it and walk away and think it is someone and walk away and think it is someone else to pick up. who teaches you that? i feel a campaign coming on. it isjust being nice to other people. it is selfish just to leave it there. i don't get it. and after earth day and all those protests. we are supposed to be looking after our planet. the basic thing you can do is pick up your rubbish.” planet. the basic thing you can do is pick up your rubbish. i see more and more people as well. people stopping or in a layby and flinging the rubbish out as they are going. even out of an organised beanbag. leaveit even out of an organised beanbag. leave it for someone else to deal with. right. on the spot fine. i

will take a bag with me. that is bad. taking a plastic bag myself. send us in your thoughts on that. thank you very much. a day of mourning is taking place in sri lanka for the victims of easter sunday's bombings. more than 300 people are now known to have died. but this morning, questions remain over whether the authorities actually had warning of the attack two weeks ago. 0ur correspondent sharanjit leyl is in colombo for us. thank you so much becoming on the programme this morning. all sorts of questions about what was known and when it was known. there are some truly heartbreaking stories from what happened over the weekend, aren't there? absolutely heartbreaking. you have heard some of them. we have reported on some of them. family members lost. people on holiday, not expecting such a terrible thing to have happened. it isa terrible thing to have happened. it is a day of mourning, as you mentioned, a few hours ago this morning there were three minutes of

silence observed across the country, flags have been lowered to as well on government buildings. people are still in shock and in grief as to what has happened here. however, life continues. it is a bright, sunny day. to the right of me is the indian ocean, it is a stunning view of colombo. people still going about their daily business. i saw people out on the streets walking dogs, et cetera. we know that the state of emergency is something everyone has woken up to. this gives the government sweeping powers to essentially detain and arrest suspects without a court order. cu rfews have been suspects without a court order. curfews have been pretty much every night. they get lifted in the early morning. nonetheless, i have been told there are far fewer people on the streets and fatherless traffic on the streets than you would normally see at this time midweek —— and far less traffic. a sombre mood. it is reflected in the front pages.

this is the daily mirror, one of the largest papers in sri lanka. entirely lack, as you can see. in small words it says in remembrance of all those who lost their lives on the 21st of april 2019. easter sunday. here is another paper. the daily ft, which references what you mentioned, the blame game over those terror attacks. the concerns that perhaps the government was warned of this and lots of reports are suggesting that they were warned by various foreign intelligence agencies as early as early april, several weeks ago, that such an attack would take place. apparently these also cited names of the individuals involved, there is a small islamist extremism group that was previously very little known, they are called national thowheeth jama'ath. they have come to prominence now. it is thought they

have had international help. they we re have had international help. they were simply a small splinter group and the co—ordinated nature of the attacks on sunday in such a short space of time suggests they had some international help. that is what the government is trying to get to the bottom of right now in terms of investigations. thank you very much, sharanjit leyl, investigations. thank you very much, shara njit leyl, who investigations. thank you very much, sharanjit leyl, who was reporting for us on that sporty over the weekend in sri lanka. we will be speaking to somebody who has a really powerful story to tell, who was in one of those hotels with the bomb blast went off. he was actually normally sitting there at nine o'clock. for some reason he had not booked breakfast in the hotel and was late. he had gone back to his room to get a car to go down to reception to pay for breakfast and while he was in his room the bomb blast went off and the ct would have been sat in was obviously completely destroyed! the ct would have been sat in. much for him and many others to think about this morning.

carol is out and about with us that make for us this weekend. someone else is there with you. that is paul, our lovely cameraman. if you are stepping out, it is still quite chilly although it will blossom into another fine day. if you are celebrating st george's day today, happy st george's day. what a weekend it was. if we start off with the temperatures on easter monday, each of the nations in the uk actually beat the record for easter monday and you can see the temperatures between 21 and 25 this weekend on saturday. we also reached the highest temperature so far this year on saturday. just over 25 celsius in hampshire. going through this week, it will turn more u nsettled this week, it will turn more unsettled and it will also turn fresher. 0n the satellite which are, some cloud around. in the west,

showery outbreaks of rain but as the cloud comes across us today, it will ship —— turned the sunshine hazy. there is also a fit — make noticeable breeze. a bit nippy. for many of us, a dry start —— noticeable breeze. we will lose many of the showers in the west but having said that, as temperatures rise, we will see some homegrown showers across central southern england, the southwest and also wales. they are showers so not all of us will catch them. showers — make temperatures —— temperatures are still higher than what we're used to. 0vernight, spreading a little further north, the showers getting into central southern england and a bit further north. ahead of that, some clear skies with cloud coming in from the north sea across eastern scotland and north—east england. temperatures falling between seven and 12. tomorrow, showers in the southwest

continue to advance northwards. at the end of the afternoon, they could be as far north as southern scotland and northern ireland. the rest of scotla nd and northern ireland. the rest of scotland staying dry and behind them, fresher conditions following on and still some showers but also some sunshine. as we head on into thursday, we have more showers coming into the south. they, too, are going to be spreading steadily northwards as we go through the course of the day. almost anywhere on thursday could catch a shower. 0ne on thursday could catch a shower. one thing you will notice is the temperature will be lower than it has been so we are looking at highs up has been so we are looking at highs up to between 12 and potentially 14 degrees. as we head through the rest of the week and into the weekend, it looks like the unsettled team continues and lou and dan, by the time we get to next weekend, there is the chance that on the mountains only in the north we could see some snow. what a difference a week makes! snow? what's that? thank you very much, carol. this country's ridiculous.

samsung was all set to start selling its folding phone but some major problems have delayed the launch. sean is here with more on this. he hasn't got one. it's a lot to do with them sending out a few of their folding new phone like they would do to people, tech people. tax journalists around the world who would review it and put it on you tube and say what they thought about it. and it went wrong. costing £1,800, the galaxy fold had been due to go on sale in the uk next month. a little bit earlier in the united states. let's look at what it was supposed to be like. this is the review put online. what do you know? the next thing that happened as people started looking at these phones and using them and saying hang ona phones and using them and saying hang on a minute, this is breaking up. the screens are cracking when i

u nfold up. the screens are cracking when i unfold the phone. they ended up being warped. everything you wouldn't want. a lot of these people are very closely followed, big influences, who on twitter and in —— instagram and the like. they are getting tens of thousands of retweets a nd getting tens of thousands of retweets and likes about this phone going wrong. everybody looks to samsung and say, is this good or not? samsung took a bit of time to come out and they said late last night they would delay the launch of the phone. it is a high-end... yes, very high and but these days, you can imagine some kind of three—year contract and shelling out 50 or 60 quid a month. you would say 1000 pounds for a phone would be high—end

but that is what these samsung galaxies and iphones are worth. surely these have been product tested to within the law does make to within an inch of its life and yet in the rollout it goes so horribly wrong. and it's not like samsung haven't been here before, they had the galaxy note as well. they said they knew there was issues with the hinges and maybe they hadn't been clear with customers. had they peeled off the screen? they thought it was something that you peel off because it is new but they actually had peeled off the screen. there were issues with the materials used inside and they need to figure out why that might be affecting the screen. and they have no time indication on this? no time yet but it's not good to samsung. people thought they tried to get it out quickly because huawei, massive

chinese developer and massive in the world of communications, they are also trying to launch a folding smartphone. the battle to be first is on. it is interesting. in a world where you want, like, a few people you watch on their ipad or the ta blet you watch on their ipad or the tablet and you have your phone with you so if you could combine and get it right, it could be great. they say it is the biggest innovation since the mobile phone. it's not quite yet, is it? there it needs to work. thank you very much. they're relatively cheap and sold in the billions, but disposable nappies are hard to recycle. they're one of the biggest sources of waste in the world. but now engineers have found ways of recovering the plastic and other materials from inside them, which can go on to be made into things like clothes pegs or cat litter. 0ur science editor david shukman reports.

time for yet another nappy change. this two—year—old gets a new one regularly. the world uses 187 billion of these every year and most end up burnt or in landfill. here in travizo in italy, her mother says she cannot help adding to the mountains of nappy waste. i tried organic cotton but it was difficult with three little ones to keep up with that. now, just up the road there is a new attempt to do something with all those disposable nappies. they are brought to a special recycling centre. most of us would prefer not to think of dirty nappies but here they are welcomed. the first step is to reduce the smell. then there is the task of sterilisation. the nappies are put through a series of processes. the first step is to separate their contents which i sent off

to a sewerage farm. what is left is then sterilised with intense heat and steam before being dried out in this oven. i can feel the heat coming off it. the material is then divided up to be resold to different industries. at the end of the process there are three different kinds of material. amazingly, by this stage they are all clean so they can be turned into everything from plastic clothes pegs to cat litter. the man who came up with this idea used to design nappies. when i was changing my young kid i always felt i was throwing away something useful because i know as a designer of the products, i know what i put in these products in the first place. so it did not seem right to throw away such valuable materials.

another batch freshly sterilised. the project is supported by the world's largest maker of nappies, procter & gamble. it's under pressure to reduce its impact on the environment. so wants to open nappy recycling plants in britain and around the world. maddalena's nappies will soon start to be recycled in the hope is that this idea will quickly catch on. i was going to have some peanut butter on toast but i might wait for a while... dv we need to put a warning before that story? ——do you think. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning: just how do they get these amazing pictures? we'll go behind the scenes of david attenborough's new documentary, ‘0ur planet',

just after nine. if you have any conspiracy theories about line of duty, send them in because the lead actress is coming on the sofa with us soon. there time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm asad ahmad. the boss of transport for london is facing calls to be sacked this morning — as he's accused of downplaying, delays to crossrail. the transport committee on the london assembly — claims mike brown didn't make warnings clear to the mayor and calls on him to ‘reflect on whether he's fit to fulfil his role'. sadeeq khan says he has "every confidence" in mr brown. crossrail was due to open last december — it could now be two years before passengers can start using it.

self—harm among men is increasing faster in london — than anywhere else in the country. figures obtained by bbc london show that since 2005 — the number of men being admitted to hospital with self—harm injuries has more than doubled. mental health charities say it's due to a variety of reasons. it might be because they are seeing distressing images online. it might be because of the relationships they are going through at the moment or the adversity or trauma in their life. ultimately, it's really important that we are starting to identify that young men are turning up to hospital having self harmed because that behaviour would have gone unnoticed before. a day after ‘extinction rebellion' activists took—over part of the natural history museum, police have placed restrictions around parliament square to stop further disruption. about 100 people lay down under the blue whale skeleton yesterday. 1,000 people have been arrested in a week of protests. the die—in at the museum lasted around an hour.

district line has minor delays between wimbledon and edgware road due to a signal failure. 0n the roads, extinction rebellion continue to demonstrate at marble arch. there are some delays there. 0ther roads are fully open. hammersmith bridge remains closed because of emergency repairs. and in south east london — in thamesmead: eastern way is closed for roadworks. now the weather with kate. good morning. yesterday saw the warmest easter monday on record. we had 25 celsius at heathrow and today is not going to be quite as warm. we are just about hanging on to the fine and dry weather. the sunshine today perhaps a little hazy and a bit more in the way of high cloud. still a warm day with temperatures

getting up into the low 20s. 22—23 celsius away from the coast. essex may be one or two degrees cooler. we may have to be just one or two degrees cooler. lengthy clear spells overnight with high cloud coming and going. minimum temperature around nine or 10 celsius so another mild night. looking at a bright start as we head into wednesday morning with sunshine around at least first thing. the cloud will increase and with it, some heavy showers as well. the temperature a bit cooler but still reasonable. high—teens, it's not until thursday when things get a bit cooler with heavy spells of rain. va nessa vanessa phelps is on bbc radio london now and she will have a more on the delays to crossrail. i'll be backin on the delays to crossrail. i'll be back in half—an—hour.

there have been 24 arrests. but that group is said to have acted with the help of so—far unnamed international terrorists. sri lanka is wary of more attacks. this was a blast as police tried to diffuse explosives inside a van. no—one was hurt. interpol is deploying investigators to sri lanka. the us is closely monitoring the situation as the hunt for the foreign terrorists who may have masterminded these attacks gathers pace. andy moore, bbc news. tributes are being paid to some of the british people killed in the attacks. among them was anita nicholson, who died along with her son son alex and daughter annabel. her husband ben, who survived the bomb at the shangri—la hotel, said his children shared with their mother the priceless ability to light up any room. former firefighter bill harrop and his wife sally bradley, a gp from manchester, died in the bombing at the cinnamon grand hotel. friends said he would be greatly missed. we will be live with our correspondence in about half—an—hour. police in northern ireland say there's been a "massive" public response after the killing of journalist lyra mckee in londonderry. the 29—year—old was shot

as she watched rioting on thursday night. a group called the new ira, which opposes the peace process, has admitted responsibility for her death. 0ur ireland correspondent, chris pagejoins us from our belfast newsroom. good morning to you. chris, what more can you tell us? louise, there has been widespread international condemnation in recent days of the murder of lyra mckee. she was a 29—year—old writer. she was shot dead while observing writing in londonderry overnight. the new ira is the largest and thought ——of the dissidents. it issued a statement saying it had killed her and it apologised for doing so. the police have said, as you have said yourself, that there has been acutely response from their point of view for their appeals for information. they have opened up a

portal online where people can upload mobile phone footage. they say 143 people have come forward to them. but they say they still need more help. for example, they haven't yet found the weapon that was used to murder her, so they are appealing for more people, in particularfrom that area of derry to come forward and tell them everything they know about this killing which is caused such a shock and outrage in northern ireland and much further afield. absolutely. thank you very much, chris, we will be speaking to one of her friends chris, we will be speaking to one of herfriends on the chris, we will be speaking to one of her friends on the programme chris, we will be speaking to one of herfriends on the programme in about five minutes. brexit talks between the government and labour will resume this afternoon, as mps return to westminster after the easter break. cabinet ministers will meet senior opposition figures to try to break the deadlock over the prime minister's withdrawal agreement. but a number of tory mps are angry that labour is involved. let's go to our political correspondent, chris mason who's at westminster. chris, you know after you have had a

bank holiday weekend, quite a few people return to work and think i will get stuff done, i have had a good break, the son has been good. any chance? well, you know, i admire your optimism. we need as much as we can muster in terms of finding a way through the impasse on brexit at westminster. mps returning this morning. i have to warn you, i don't wa nt to morning. i have to warn you, i don't want to burst that bubble of optimism too quickly, but we kind of our where we were. these talks, as you say, between labour and the conservatives will continue. it doesn't look like there is any real prospect imminently of a breakthrough as far as they are concerned. conservative mps will meet later this afternoon. the 1922 committee of conservative backbenchers, there is frustration among some of them that they have picked up from the doorstep the local activists campaigning for the local activists campaigning for the local and european elections over the break about the prime minister. some local activists trying to find

a mechanism by which they can get rid of theresa may. that is not easy. the vote of confidence she won backin easy. the vote of confidence she won back in december in westminster means she is protected until december from means she is protected until decemberfrom a means she is protected until december from a similar vote. means she is protected until decemberfrom a similar vote. i will play an extract from one conservative mp. it gives you a sense of the frustration that is mounting. i find it hugely frustrating and my own view now is that i believe that we need fresh leadership and i hope that we are able to persuade theresa may that now is the time to go. she's reaching out, i know, to the labour party and to jeremy corbyn, when she should have been reaching out to 17.4 million people. so that sunny disposition of yours, down, is an admirable characteristic, a after a refreshed easter break, but there isn't any imminent prospect of any breakthrough here. the facts as they

we re breakthrough here. the facts as they were before easter other facts as they were now. youanmi will be talking about brexit at a while. does make you and me. you have burst my brexit bubble once again. thank you very much. the swedish schoolgirl credited with encouraging young people across the uk to protest against climate change, is taking her message to westminster this morning. greta thunberg, who addressed a crowd of anti—climate change protestors in london on sunday, hopes to meet political leaders, and urge them to act now. she told bbc radio 4's today programme, that people need to start panicking about the crisis facing the planet. you said something very striking the other day. you said we needed to panic, we can'tjust have a polite conversation about this any day. what did you mean? i mean, by panic i mean that we step

out of our comfort zones and that we realise what is actually going on. and so i say, if your house is on fire and you want to keep your house from burning to the ground than that does require some level of panic. you don't sit talking about insurance claims or rebuilding, renovations then — you do everything you can to put out the fire. within the next few hours, it's expected that donald trump will confirm that he's to make a state visit to the uk. the president was promised the visit by theresa may shortly after he was elected in 2016, but no date was set. it's thought the trip could now coincide with the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings injune. take a look at these new photos of prince louis, which have been released to mark his first birthday. the youngest child of the duke and duchess of cambridge is seen playing in the garden of the family's home, on the sandringham estate in norfolk. catherine took the pictures herself, earlier this month. he isa he is a little cutie. we return to one of our top stories. police in northern ireland says there's been massive community support for their investigation

into the killing ofjournalist lyra mckee. the 29—year—old's funeral will take place tomorrow. her friends say it will be a celebration of her life and achievements. let's go to our belfast newsroom and speak to lyra's friend, the journalist susan mckay. good morning to you. thank you for joining us. before we talk about the latest developments, let us talk about her a little bit as well. how will you remember lyra?” about her a little bit as well. how will you remember lyra? i remember lyra is a beautiful young woman brimful of life and love and creativity stop she was in the middle of writing what was promising to bea middle of writing what was promising to be a really excellent book about young people who had disappeared during the troubles here. she was madly in love. she was about to get engaged to a partner, sarah. they we re engaged to a partner, sarah. they were going to go to new york together. she was just absolutely wonderful and she was a rising star of irish writing and had been acknowledged as such when she was only 29, but she had already won major awards and got two deal

publishing contract with a major british publisher. she was a lovely person. she had thatjournalistic quality of being interested in everything and everyone. she'll be much missed. it isjust everything and everyone. she'll be much missed. it is just devastating to see the impact on her very close circle of friends, particularly in the lgbtq community here in northern ireland. we know now that overnight a group called the new ira has admitted responsibility for what happened. what do you make of that? i think the only news that most people want to hear from this group is that they have disbanded. you know, it was obvious all along it was then that was responsible. they need to hand themselves over. that is what lyra's friends and family want. they want them prosecuted for this. it was very, very moving yesterday in darri, which is the city i am also from, to see some of lyra's friends and circle putting red paint on their hands and putting

it up on murals belonging to these organisations, these so—called dissident republican organisations. they don't represent the people in derry. they don't represent anybody‘s real notion of what an irish republic should be. when i was writing about lyra in the guardian i said let nobody say she died four irish freedom, lyra was irish freedom. i really believe that was the case. she represented all the values that people want in the new northern ireland. they don't want these throwbacks to a violence which was put an end to with the 1998 good friday agreement. we heard from police that they are getting a positive response for information. what do you think of that?” listened closely to what the police are saying and i think what they are really saying is they are getting a lot of soft information, but they need hard information. many people who actually know where the gun is,

notify the shots, know who sent them out to favour shots. —— know who fired the shots. there are people who know these things were not necessarily coming forward. that is not necessarily those who are afraid to come forward. it looks as though that barrier has been broken. it is people in the inner circle whose consciences are now being appealed to. she was killed, wasn't she, on the 21st anniversary of the signing of the good friday agreement. from your perspective, does it feel that much of that work is being undone? what do you think? i think it is a very dangerous moment here. but i think there has been an overwhelming response to lyra's tragic murder. and hopefully that will bring people to their senses. i mean, the thing about these dissident republican groups is they only thrive where there is a vacuum. the fact that we don't have a government in northern ireland, the power—sharing arrangements have collapsed, they have been broken down for two years,

we have a secretary of state who doesn't seem to have any sense of urgency about doing anything about it and may well not even have the capacity to do anything about it. she seems to know very little about northern ireland. we have churches which continue to penalise people who are lgbtq. there are a lot of other people who need to change as well in the light of looking at how lovely lyra was and what she represented. so there are lots of ways in which northern ireland needs to come to its senses and just listening to their‘s partner sarah talking about her should make people really wise up about what they are doing in terms of what northern ireland is like for as young people —— lyra's. ireland is like for as young people -- lyra's. you mentioned her book. i understand from what i read at least that it will hopefully still be published. what you a legacy will be? i think a legacy will be across many fronts. she was a young gay

activist and that will be important. she was a great writer. she was writing, in particular, about the mysterious way in which the shadow of the troubles still hung over her generation. lyra was only eight when the good friday agreement was signed, but she was very conscious of the fact that it still did have an impact on her generation. she pointed out that a lot of young people was still killing themselves. she talked about the way that there we re she talked about the way that there were all these people who had just vanished, had never been accounted for. i think a legacy will be that people need to be more serious about looking back over how you have to deal with a post— conflict situation. these long—term conflicts don'tjust end and that's it. there are still aspects of the legacy that need to be sorted out. that is true for a lot of the dems and survivors of the conflict and lyra was full of empathy and compassion for those

people. i really appreciate your time on breakfast. susan mckay, thank you very much. it has been a fantastic weekend weatherwise for many people in the uk. let's find out what was happening today and for the next few days. here's carol. we have another day of the fine and u nsettled we have another day of the fine and unsettled conditions. if you are celebrating st george's day today, for most of england, it is going to be dry and just an outside chance of a shower later on. as dan was saying, it has been a spectacular weekend in terms of temperatures. 0n easter monday, we reached temperatures across all the nations between 21 and 25 degrees. that is a record for the day itself. the other thing that happened on saturday, we

have had the warmest day of the year so have had the warmest day of the year so far. temperatures reach 25.5 in hampshire. this morning, it is a chilly start and as we go through this week, what you will find is it will turn much fresher than it was last week and it will also become more unsettled. first thing this morning, afair more unsettled. first thing this morning, a fair bit of cloud in the west. producing showery outbreaks of rain here and there are also more cloud coming in from the north sea which will turn the sunshine hazy. at times, we will see a bit more cloud across eastern scotland and north—east england. noticeable breeze as well today but as the sun comes out, temperatures will rise and it will offer that might blossom into another pleasant afternoon. stuck up a few showers but they will be fairly isolated. top temperature up be fairly isolated. top temperature up to 22. if you are under the cloud in the north—east of the country, we could just see 18. ——13. a few

showers across england and wales but they will be gathering. some of them will be heavy and potentially thundery as they start to push east. not a cold night for many of us. still the cloud coming in from the north sea but our temperatures 7—12. tomorrow, we start off with all the showers across wales, south—west england, central southern england and they will be pushing northwards as we go through the day. some of them will be thundery and heavy. at them will be thundery and heavy. at the end of the afternoon, we expect them to be in scotland. for the rest of scotland, a dry day. on thursday, we have more showers drifting northwards as we go through the day. could catch a shower but one thing you notice is the are going down. around about the 15 degrees mark. the average in london is actually

16. the unsettled theme continues into next weekend. thank you, carol, see you a bit later. it is coming up to 7:20. let's take a look at today's papers. the times leads on the bomb attacks in sri lanka. the paper says the victims of the attacks come from at least 10 countries, including sri lanka, the uk, australia, india, japan, united states and turkey. according to the guardian, the sri lankan authorities received warnings two weeks before the attacks on easter sunday. the paper also reports that the sri lankan health minister said the names of some of the suspects had been given to authorities earlier this month. meanwhile, the daily mail reports

that some of britian's biggest shops have been using cameras on shelves to manipulate customers into spending more. and the daily telegraph leads on the news that the health secretary plans to ban non—disclosure agreements that silence nhs whistleblowers. we won't do any spoilers but we have one of the stars in later. we understand that anna maxwell martin as she is" dead chuffed" to be joining the final two episodes of the series of line of duty. if you have any conspiracy theories, let us know. elderly pedestrians should be allowed more time to cross the road.

fire near huddersfield started on sunday. it's the six wildfire here this year. it's already dissed —— destroyed hundreds of hectares at nesting time for birds. a number of those species of ground nesting birds are currently nesting. helicopter has been scooping water from nearby reservoirs to douse the flames. firefighters have said the fire was probably started by a disposable barbecue at eastgate. towns and villages in yorkshire and greater manchester were smoke logged at times. we are told not to take barbecues out there but we do. 0nce they have been lit they are ok but it's the teat that gets heated up underneath and nothing seems to be going after they've gone and then the wind gets up and fans the flames. firefighters have been damping down on ilkley moor which spread over 25,000 metres on saturday. a man has been charged with arson and two others have been

released, pending enquiries. yesterday, people were still seen lighting barbecues on ilkley moor. in northern ireland, a mile long front fire forced the evacuation of 200 holiday makers from a caravan site. very frightening. people were told to get into their card that make cars, move the car, and they we re make cars, move the car, and they were told get out of the car and run to the front gates! police services in northern ireland believed the blaze was started liberally. the message from firefighters and others is enjoy the landscape ijust don't use anything including disposable barbecues in countryside susceptible to fire. all of these stories are about letter. a lot of people have been in

contact today, they have to go out and pick other people lit up. —— letter. we would like to the problem from. —— litter. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning: they're the biggest source of waste in the world and billions of nappies end up in landfill every year. so we'll take a look at the innovative new way of recycling them. you might not want to your breakfast while we're you that. —— while you watch that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. the boss of transport for london is facing calls to be sacked this morning — as he's accused of downplaying, delays to crossrail. the transport committee on the london assembly claims mike brown didn't make warnings clear to the mayor and calls on him to ‘reflect on whether he's fit

to fulfil his role'. sadeeq khan says he has "every confidence" in mr brown. crossrail was due to open last december, it could now be two years before passengers can start using it. self—harm among men is increasing faster in london than anywhere else in the country. figures obtained by bbc london show that since 2005 — the number of men being admitted to hospital with self—harm injuries has more than doubled. mental health charities say it's due to a variety of reasons. it might be because they are seeing distressing images online. it might be because of the relationships they are going through at the moment or the adversity or trauma in their life. ultimately, it's really important that we are starting to identify that young men are turning up to hospital having self harmed because that behaviour would have gone unnoticed before.

a day after ‘extinction rebellion' activists took—over part of the natural history museum — police have placed restrictions around parliament square to stop further disruption. about 100 people lay down under the blue whale skeleton yesterday. 1,000 people have been arrested in a week of protests. the die—in at the museum lasted around an hour. let's take a look at the travel situation now. district line has minor delays between wimbledon and edgware road due to a signal failure. 0n the roads, extinction rebellion continue to demonstrate at marble arch. there are some delays there. 0ther roads are fully open. hammersmith bridge remains closed because of emergency repairs. and in south east london — in thamesmead: eastern way is closed for roadworks. now the weather with kate. good morning. yesterday saw the warmest easter monday on record. we had 25 celsius over at wisley, heathrow and at northolt. now, today it's not going to be quite as warm but still,

we are just about hanging on to the fine and dry weather. the sunshine today perhaps a little hazy and a bit more in the way of high cloud. still a warm day with temperatures getting up into the low 20s. 22—23 celsius away from the coast. essex may be one or two degrees cooler. we may have to be just one or two degrees cooler. lengthy clear spells overnight with high cloud coming and going. minimum temperature around nine or 10 celsius so another mild night. looking at a bright start as we head into wednesday morning with sunshine around at least first thing. the cloud will increase and with it, some heavy showers as well. the temperature a bit cooler but still reasonable. high—teens, it's not until thursday when things get a bit cooler if you want to know what it's like being black and living in london, ta ke being black and living in london, take a look at our website. it tells

you about the misjudging of black people in the city. goodbye for now. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. should sri lanka is holding a day of mourning. funerals for many of the victims will take place today with the country remaining on high alert. eight britons were among those killed in a series of co—ordinated attacks on churches and hotels. andy moore has this report. daybreak at st sebastian's church in negombo. dozens were killed in the bombings here on easter sunday. today, many of those victims will be laid to rest amidst tight security. the vast majority of those killed in co—ordinated suicide attacks against churches and luxury hotels were local people, but there were also at least 30 victims from overseas, eight of them were britons.

the attacks have been blamed on a local islamist group. there have been 24 arrests. they are said to have acted with the help of unnamed terrorists. sri lanka is wary of more attacks. this was a blast as police tried to diffuse explosives inside a van. no—one was hurt. interpol is deploying investigators to sri lanka. the us is closely monitoring the situation as the hunt for the foreign terrorists who may have masterminded these attacks gathers pace. andy moore, bbc news. tributes are being paid to some of the british people killed in the attacks. among them was anita nicholson, who died along with her son son alex and daughter annabel. her husband ben, who survived the bomb at the shangri—la hotel, said his children shared

with their mother the priceless ability to light up any room. formerfirefighter bill harrop and his wife sally bradley, a gp from manchester, died in the bombing at the cinnamon grand hotel. friends said they would be greatly missed. police in northern ireland say there's been a "massive" public response after the killing ofjournalist lyra mckee in londonderry. the 29—year—old was shot as she watched rioting on thursday night. a group called the new ira, which opposes the peace process, has admitted responsibility for her death. brexit talks between the government and labour will resume this afternoon, as mps return to westminster after the easter break. cabinet ministers will meet senior opposition figures to try to break the deadlock over the prime minister's withdrawal agreement. but a number of tory mps are angry that labour is involved, and senior conservative backbenchers will meet later today to discuss their next moves. the swedish schoolgirl, credited with encouraging young people across the uk to protest against climate change, is taking her message to westminster this morning. greta thunberg, who addressed

a crowd of anti—climate change protestors in london on sunday, hopes to meet political leaders, and urge them to act now. she told bbc radio 4's today programme, that people need to start panicking about the crisis facing the planet. you said something very striking the other day. you said we needed to panic, we can'tjust have a polite conversation about this any day. what did you mean? i mean, by panic i mean that we step out of our comfort zones and that we realise what is actually going on. and so i say, if your house is on fire and you want to keep your house from burning to the ground than that does require some level of panic. you don't sit talking about insurance claims or rebuilding, renovations then — you do everything you can to put out the fire. within the next few hours, it's expected that donald trump will confirm that he's to make a state visit to the uk. the president was promised the visit by theresa may shortly after he was elected in 2016,

but no date was set. it's thought the trip could now coincide with the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings, injune. emergency teams are still trying to put out a fire on moorlands in west yorkshire, thought to have been caused by a disposable barbecue. the flames started on sunday evening and quickly spread. the national trust, which looks after the site, says the area is of special importance, because of the birds which nest there. the trust says a recent £200,000 investment to preserve the habitat has now been lost. shall we have a look at photos of a one—year—old? take a look at these new photos of prince louis, which have been released to mark his first birthday. the youngest child of the duke and duchess of cambridge is seen playing in the garden of the family's home, on the sandringham estate in norfolk. catherine took the pictures herself, earlier this month. he has not got a full set of teeth

yet so he looks cute. anyway, there isa yet so he looks cute. anyway, there is a child. sally is here with a look at this point. have chelsea misted up a bit? 0r point. have chelsea misted up a bit? or it brilliant but only?” point. have chelsea misted up a bit? or it brilliant but only? i am going with brilliant only. and this picture, which makes it look rather more friendly than it was today. that looks calm and relatively civilised. it got a bit grumpy. chelsea have missed the opportunity to go third in the premier league, after being held to a 2—2 draw at home to burnley. chelsea manager maurizio sarri was sent to the stands and there was also a bust up between the players at full—time. austin halewood reports. after a weekend of favourable results, the door was ajar for chelsea to break into the top four. but despite the heat of a scorching easter weekend, the blues came out cold. burnley‘s jeff hendrick with a screamer inside the first ten minutes. chelsea needed a response and after passing a late fitness test, there was only one man to turn to. eden hazard with a trademark weaving run. n'golo kante on hand to finish. desperate not to miss out on champions league football for a second year, now

chelsea were in the mood. a rocket from gonzalo higuain blasting them into the lead. but it wouldn't last long. for all of chelsea's attacking promise, their defence was letting them down. ashley barnes was left too open and the finish all too easy. a frantic 24 minutes, in the end, was as good as it got. cesar azpilicueta, the man to go closest in a quiet second half. chelsea's frustration clear to see. with the manager sent to the stands. a point enough to take burnley to the brink of premier league survival. but despite going fourth, for chelsea, an opportunity missed. austin halewood, bbc news. we are determined that we are going to fight until the end. i believe this team has values and it is playing good football. of course, we need to improve. but it is on a good way. as i said, we can, as we showed today, and we will fight until the end.

another blow for chelsea with the news that england international callum hudson 0doi has been ruled out for the rest of the season with an achilles injury. he tweeted after the game that he will come back stronger. in an article written for the times, raheem sterling has called called for clubs to be given a nine—point deduction for racist abuse and have to play three games behind closed doors. sterling is one of a number of players backing a manifesto put together under the guidance of the anti—racism organisation kick it out. it follows a 24—hour social media boycott by players on friday who were angry with the way social media platforms have failed to crack down. norwich city have all but gained promotion to the premier league after leeds united again lost. leeds suffered their second defeat of the easter weekend — this time away to brentford. the result also means that sheffield united could all but secure the second

promotion place with victory at home to ipswich at the weekend. former liverpool and leeds striker robbie fowler has been named as the new head coach of a—league side brisbane roar. fowler, who spent two years playing in australia towards the end of his career, has been linked with a number ofjobs in england and previously coached with liverpool's academy. he has agreed a two—year contract and will take charge from the start of next season. i have worked hard. i wanted people to ta ke i have worked hard. i wanted people to take me serious. that is why i got the badges. i knew people would ta ke got the badges. i knew people would take me serious. there comes a time when you are waiting for that opportunity. don't get me wrong, i have been wanting to do this for a long time. it has not really materialised for whatever reason, i don't know. i think i have shown people how passionate, how committed iam by people how passionate, how committed i am by obviously coming over here,

for a start. there could be a big shock on the cards at the world snooker championship. the 23—year old amateurjames cahill leads world number one ronnie 0'sullivan five frames to four in their first round match. cahill is the first amateur to ever qualify for the tournament. they'll presume the match in sheffield later this morning. in rugby league's super league, leaders st helens ran in 11 tries to hammer hull fc 62 points to 16. meanwhile, castleford tigers slumped to a heavy defeat. catalan dragons ran in six tries as they cruised to 37 points to 16 win in france. boxer kash ali has been given a si6—month ban and fined £10,000 for biting david price during their heavyweight fight. ali had his boxing licence suspended and his fight purse withdrawn after being disqualified in the fifth round of the bout in liverpool last month. he apologised after the fight, saying his behaviour was not a "true reflection of who i am".

every time you see that picture it is shocking. it is horrible. trainer willie mullins claimed a first irish grand national victory as burrows saint took the win at fairyhouse. the 6—1 shot favourite, ridden byjockey ruby walsh, led at the final fence and had enough to hold on for victory. mullins' historic win comes just a month after winning his first cheltenham gold cup. i think he ashley got the one, two, three. great to see him do that. —— i think he actually got. it is 20 minutes to eight. you are watching brea kfast minutes to eight. you are watching breakfast on the bbc. ivf treatment for fertility is more popular than ever among women in their 40s. but as patients get older, the chances of success reduce. now, the fertility watchdog warns the possibility of failure isn't always made clear to patients, and accuses some clinics of "trading on hope". we'rejoined now in our london newsroom by fertility campaigner jessica hepburn, and here in the studio by professor adam balen, who specialises in

reproductive medicine. good morning to you both. thank you for joining good morning to you both. thank you forjoining us. jessica, if i can talk to you first, you have a loss of personal experience of ivf. give us an of personal experience of ivf. give us an indication of what you have been through. that is right, louise, my partner and i started trying to conceive when i was 34. nothing happened. we were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. that was the start of what would become a decade—long struggle to conceive stop there were 11 rounds of u nsuccessful stop there were 11 rounds of unsuccessful ivf, multiple miscarriages, and an ectopic pregnancy from ivf that was discovered late at three months. really tough times for you. professor, how many people, and there are a lot of people who are affected by infertility. it affects at least 15% of the population. stories like jessica's at least 15% of the population. stories likejessica's are obviously heartbreaking. in the uk we have a highly regulated sector. i fully agree with sally cheshire, the chair

of the regulator, it is essential that we provide accurate information to our patience so that they have realistic expectations of the outcomes of ivf treatment. we do have a great sector in the uk. we lead the world in starting ivf. and iam lead the world in starting ivf. and i am spearheading a campaign to improve education in skills to young people. i know jessica improve education in skills to young people. i knowjessica and others are involved in this in order to ensure that young people are informed about factors that influence their reproductive health. and so that they know that fertility isn't a given and that you shouldn't leave it too late. jessica, do you think enough people are told, adam, we have had you on to programme many times, and you talk about the industry with great authority, but, jessica, do you think some people are not being told the truth about the success rates around ivf on

occasions? i think at worst it can be murky. at best it is very opaque. the statistics around fertility and reproductive science are really, really difficult. i even find the medical professionals sort of change their minds about what they are. what you need to know and what i didn't know when i was going through treatment is that, essentially, two—thirds of all ivf cycles fail. that is not to say that ivf doesn't work. my story, as adam said, is heartbreaking. but ivf is a miracle science and it works for many people. but often people have to go through several rounds of treatment before they are successful. and obviously some people will go for many obviously some people will go for ma ny rows obviously some people will go for many rows of treatment and are not successful. it is really important that that message comes across. again, as adam says, i really support what sally has been saying over the weekend. the figures, people using their own eggs, for

those over 44, women over 44, there isa those over 44, women over 44, there is a success rate ofjust1% between 2004 and 2017. exactly. i was going to say, is very difficult when we see images of celebrities in the media getting pregnant their 40s and 50s. and while their private life is their own what they are often saying is that it is from an egg donor. getting pregnant in your 40s your own eggs as a woman is getting pregnant in your 40s your own eggs as a woman is very difficult. which is why we should be encouraging our young people to enable them to have families at a time when it is likely to work. the other key thing is we need to improve nhs funding for fertility treatment. because it is successful for younger people. if you are under the age of 36, 37, on average you have a one in three chance of getting pregnant. the nice guidelines say that everybody should be entitled to free cycles funded by

the nhs. there is still a postcode lottery in the uk and the provision varies a lot around the country. we're running out of a bit. there is also the psychological impact as well. tell us about that can be done. absolutely. struggling to conceive is just devastating. done. absolutely. struggling to conceive isjust devastating. it affects your life and your relationship with your partner, your friends, yourfamily, relationship with your partner, your friends, your family, at relationship with your partner, your friends, yourfamily, at work. and absolutely or self esteem. 0ne friends, yourfamily, at work. and absolutely or self esteem. one of the things i am campaigning for todayis the things i am campaigning for today is the launch of my festival at the fertility vest, which is to try to unlock the emotional experience of going through ivf struggling to conceive so that we can improve patient emotional care within clinics. i like to say that they have been brilliant on this. they have introduced for the first time this year that says every clinic has to have a patient support

policy, which i applaud. thank you very much. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. iam good morning. i am at the roof of broadcasting house in london. if you are standing outside for any length of time this morning, it is chilly with a noticeable breeze. but today, the temperature will shoot up once again. not as high as it was over the weekend, looking at the top temperature of about 22 but then the weather is going to change. talking of the easter weekend, on easter monday, temperatures were high across all four nations. we were looking at 25 and up to 26. we are going to say goodbye to those levels for now. as we go into this week, more unsettled conditions with showers and it will turn that bit fresher than it has been. this

morning, quite a bit of cloud around, particularly in the west and thatis around, particularly in the west and that is producing some showers. they will fade and the cloud coming in from the east will turn the sunshine hazy at times through the day. as we go through the day, more cloud coming in across eastern parts of scotla nd coming in across eastern parts of scotland and north—east england which will hold the temperature down. for most of the uk, it will be dry and showers we currently have will fade and we're looking at hazy sunshine. as it dries, it might spark off the odd shower across parts of wales, the south—west of england and central southern england. those be isolated. top temperatures, up to 22. a to about 13 if stuck under the cloud from the north sea. still a lot of dry weather in wednesday. glad we have in the eat will move inland a bit and the showers in the south—west will start to get going and some of those could heavy and boundary as they slowly start to migrate north.

—— thundery. as we had through the course of tomorrow, the showers really get going so they move across the south—west, wales, the midlands and eventually as far north as northern ireland and southern scotla nd northern ireland and southern scotland and some of them again heavy and thundery. head of them for the rest of scotland, fine and dry with some sunshine. the hind them, some sunshine but still some showers. you will notice the temperatures are starting to go down. 0r thursday, more temperatures are starting to go down. 0rthursday, more showers temperatures are starting to go down. 0r thursday, more showers in the south. they are rumbling northwards as we go through the course of the day. almost anywhere could catch about —— shower on thursday but look at those temperatures. way back down to 14 or 15, where should be at this stage in april. in london, 16. the unsettled tea m april. in london, 16. the unsettled team continues by sunday. 0nly april. in london, 16. the unsettled team continues by sunday. only on the mountains in the north. not at lower levels. we could see some wintry stuff coming out of the sky.

snow! i love the way you say only on the highest levels. sean is with us today talking about phones. very expensive phones from one of the biggest companies out there but there are real issues about samsung's foldable model. the other pa rt samsung's foldable model. the other part of the phone industry, the big phones providing us with the networks as well so all of this plays into what customers want and this will be quite important this morning. the consumer group have asked over 6000 of its members about everything that ranges from customer service to value for money from their mobile phone provider so not necessarily people making it. it found vodafone was rated the worst network in the country. then you look at some of the biggest providers like ee and o2 but the

smaller networks did better. we can talk to harry rose who's the editor, which? magazine. what is the most important thing to the customers? lots of them are important. not least customer service but i think value for money would be the ultimate factor. ultimately, people are paying upwards of 50, £60 a month for some of the contracts with some of the latest handsets. you really need to be happy for the service if you are paying that sort of price. ultimately, we are seeing the big networks continue to fail their customers. smaller companies are doing much better. i think the big networks really need to up their game here. they need to do that. why is it that companies that have been established for decades and have had customers for such a very long period of time, aren't doing it

right? i think there is probably a bit of complacency creeping in. it's not a new story. vodafone has struggled in previous surveys. they have customers on long—term contracts, 24 month contracts are the law now. that can breed complacency. they are happy to rake in those large contract monthly fees and ultimately, customers will have to start switching in greater numbers and vote with their feet and keeping these companies on their toes and forcing them to up their game. we are talking about this in lots of different sectors. they will be new rules coming in injuly. how will that make it easier for people to actually say, do you know what? i may have been with you a long time but i need to move to a different provider. anyone who has switched providers in the path that met past

knows that you have to go through the hoop jumping process knows that you have to go through the hoopjumping process to knows that you have to go through the hoop jumping process to ask the providerfor a code that the hoop jumping process to ask the provider for a code that you can then give to the new provider who organised the switch. it is a bit of faff and it puts people off switching and it shouldn't be the case. one thing coming in from july is that you would be able to text your existing provider asking for the code and get it via text and it ta kes the code and get it via text and it takes out the whole hassle of having to phone and speak to someone who is no doubt going to try and persuade you to stay with that company. frankly, it should even be easier than that. it is much easier to switch energy providers, banks, with those markets you need to contact your new provider and they organise everything for you. as far as we are concerned, it would be better if that was the case with mobile networks as well but it is a step in the right direction as well. this story about samsung and their new phone, how does this tell you — but

what does this tell you about what customers need? samsung net -- makes good phones but this phone is some way of ready and it will cost a lot of money which was a speculation before it all went wrong in the last week or so. i think customers do wa nt week or so. i think customers do want innovation and we have seen the mobile phone market slow down a little bit in recent years into the upgrades from year to year, the models have become smaller and smaller and more tenuous. the battle is on between the big companies. we have to leave it there, harry. harry, the editor of which? magazine. it all comes down to whether the phone folds, how good the network is. if you are having breakfast at the moment, you might want to put it to the side for a moment. they're relatively cheap and sold in the billions, but disposable nappies are hard to recycle. they're one of the biggest sources of waste in the world. but now engineers have found ways

of recovering the plastic and other materials from inside them, which can go on to be made into things like clothes pegs or cat litter. 0ur science editor david shukman reports. time for yet another nappy change. this two—year—old gets a new one regularly. the world uses 187 billion of these every year and most end up burnt or in landfill. here in travizo in italy, her mother says she cannot help adding to the mountains of nappy waste. i tried organic cotton but it was difficult with three little ones to keep up with that. now, just up the road there is a new attempt to do something with all those disposable nappies. they are brought to a special recycling centre. most of us would prefer not to think of dirty nappies but here they are welcomed.

the first step is to reduce the smell. then there is the task of sterilisation. the nappies are put through a series of processes. the first step is to separate their contents which i sent off to a sewerage farm. what is left is then sterilised with intense heat and steam before being dried out in this oven. i can feel the heat coming off it. the material is then divided up to be resold to different industries. at the end of the process there are three different kinds of material. amazingly, by this stage they are all clean so they can be turned into everything from plastic clothes pegs to cat litter. the man who came up with this idea used to design nappies. when i was changing my young kid i always felt i was throwing away something useful because i know as a designer of the products,

i know what i put in these products in the first place. so it did not seem right to throw away such valuable materials. another batch freshly sterilised. the project is supported by the world's largest maker of nappies, procter & gamble. it's under pressure to reduce its impact on the environment. so wants to open nappy recycling plants in britain and around the world. maddalena's nappies will soon start to be recycled in the hope is that this idea will quickly catch on. that would be brilliant if that was rolled out. it would! i agree with you, louise! if you are a fan of the

has more than doubled. mental health charities say it‘s due to a variety of reasons. it might be because they are seeing distressing images online. it might be because of the relationships they are going through at the moment or the adversity or trauma in their life. ultimately, it‘s really important that we are starting to identify that young men are turning up to hospital having self harmed because that behaviour would have gone unnoticed before. a day after ‘extinction rebellion‘ activists took—over part of the natural history museum — police have placed restrictions around parliament square to stop further disruption. about 100 people lay down under the blue whale skeleton yesterday. 1,000 people have been arrested in a week of protests. the die—in at the museum lasted around an hour. let‘s take a look at the travel situation now. district line has minor delays

cabinet ministers will meet senior opposition figures to try to break the deadlock over the prime minister‘s withdrawal agreement. but a number of tory mps are angry that labour is involved. let‘s go to our political correspondent, chris mason who‘s at westminster. a breakthrough soon? well, i am not so sure. a breakthrough soon? well, i am not so sure. the talks will carry on, as you say, between labour and the conservatives, there does not seem to be any prospect of anything emerging from that as things stand. the brexit record is back on the turntable and spinning again and it has a certain familiarity. the talks are continuing, conservative mps are grumbling and plotting, the 1922 committee of conservative backbenchers will meet this evening. plenty of conservatives have been campaigning, as others have been over the easter break, with local elections in parts of the uk and the

european parliament elections in the next few weeks. some conservative mps have picked up frustration among activists, some grassroots conservatives are trying to find a mechanism to register frustration with the prime minister. but they area bit like with the prime minister. but they are a bit like a mechanic who cannot find the right spanner, they cannot find the right spanner, they cannot find a tool to dislodge the prime minister, she won a vote of confidence in september so it is protected from another one until december. i find it hugely frustrating, my own view now is i believe we need fresh leadership. and i hope that we are able to persuade theresa may that now is the time to go. i know she is reaching out to the labour party and jeremy corbyn, when she should have been reaching out to 17.4 million people. the easter bunny has run for the hills, probably because he got

wind of the fact we would be talking about brexit! we are pretty much where we were, the intractable problems at the heart of the discussion remained that a pause button was pressed for ten days also. the hunt for a breakthrough continues, but no prospect of one yet. the swedish schoolgirl credited with encouraging young people across the uk to protest against climate change is taking her message to westminster this morning. 16—year—old greta thunberg, who addressed a crowd of anti—climate change protestors in london on sunday, hopes to meet political leaders, and urge them to act now. she told bbc radio 4‘s today programme that people need to start panicking about the crisis facing the planet. you said something very striking the other day. you said we needed to panic, we can‘tjust have a polite conversation about this any day. what did you mean? i mean, by panic i mean that we step out of our comfort zones and that we realise what is actually going on. and so i say, if your house

is on fire and you want to keep your house from burning to the ground than that does require some level of panic. you don't sit talking about insurance claims or rebuilding, renovations then — you do everything you can to put out the fire. within the next few hours, it‘s expected that donald trump will confirm that he‘s to make a state visit to the uk. the president was promised the visit by theresa may shortly after he was elected in 2016, but no date was set. it‘s thought the trip could now coincide with the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings injune. emergency teams are still trying to put out a fire on moorlands in west yorkshire, thought to have been caused by a disposable barbecue. the flames started on sunday evening and quickly spread. the national trust, which looks after the site, says the area is of special importance, because of the birds which nest there. the trust says a recent £200,000 investment to preserve the habitat has now been lost.

it is great to talk to you. we have noticed in your social media posts you see you were 90 seconds away from death. what was your normal routine and why was it different that day? normally... i have been sitting on the same chair for the last six months, i have been here about five times, almost 20 or 30 times i have set up a chair from around 8:45am until 9am, i always have my driver turn up at the same time. it was a normal routine, i told the driver to meet me at the brea kfast area told the driver to meet me at the breakfast area to sit at the chair where i sit, where the bomb exploded. he was on his way. little didi exploded. he was on his way. little did i know that while he was driving towards me, the horn was not working, so he had to change the car. in pace you need the horn, otherwise you can‘t drive. —— in sri

la nka otherwise you can‘t drive. —— in sri lanka you need the horn. there are cows in the street etc. he decided to change the car and meet me, so he was delayed by 15 minutes. my friend left the hotel at 6:30am, his flight was 9:30am. he texted me at galaxy fold8:36am —— he texted me at 8:36am, soi fold8:36am —— he texted me at 8:36am, so i grabbed the phone, i was messaging him, great to send him back. so i got myself ready, i walked towards the left and i realised i did not pay for the hotel brea kfast. realised i did not pay for the hotel breakfast. when i went from where we we re breakfast. when i went from where we were staying the previous night i was booking a car, that is not something i normally do, so i did not pay for the breakfast, just room

only. so i decided i needed to take my card, i went back to my room, got my card, i went back to my room, got my debit card while i was texting, i pulled the curtain down, looked back andi pulled the curtain down, looked back and i saw the first blast. so it was literally 30 seconds away from going in the third floor, that is where the explosion was at the most casualties. dme. had you paid for brea kfast casualties. dme. had you paid for breakfast as you would normally do, you would have been in that chair?” would have been dead. how do you get your head around that? we were speaking to are corresponding in sri la nka speaking to are corresponding in sri lanka today, talking about the devastation caused —— speaking to our correspondent in sri lanka. we wonder how they did not know about it, whether there was information. has that gone through your head? yes, to shock. if i had known there was a prior warning i would not have

come to sri lanka. my kids are back home in london, i only had a certain window to help the people i was helping here. so literally the plan was an eight hour drive, half another drive back, straight back to the airport. if i had known this i did not need to take those risks. my kids are on holiday, they are missing theirfather, if kids are on holiday, they are missing their father, if their father had left and he got killed... i have had time to reflect. now the news coming out about the president knowing about what happened and did not pass on information to the prime minister, the intelligence knew, i think it is shocking, you do not expect it in this day and age when countries are encouraging people to come, encouraging tourism, they had

to be open. i know you have been moved hotel since the attack. you summed it up a little, we have seen the front—page of one of the papers in sri lanka, and black front page, that reflects on the sin —— sense of loss and grief which i imagine you are feeling, but also you are articulating that anger that not enough was done. is it a mixture of that for most people? it is a mixed bag. i had a lot of time from running from the 18th floor to the fourth floor, there is a point when you are running towards the third floor and you see blood everywhere and bodies being carried and people with blood running, they did not know where they were running towards, i did not know what i was running into. you accept death at that moment, you know what the feelings are. then there was a

moment of ten hours to be put away ina moment of ten hours to be put away in a shelter, protected, while the intelligence and military went through, room by room. so we had time not only to reflect internally but to speak to people walking around who lost their children, lost their parents. they had to ensure that. —— they had to endure that. so it is very mixed emotions from people who were there and people who we re people who were there and people who were outside. we are losing the line a little bit, but thank you, kieran. very clear from kieran what he and others went through. imagine getting your head around that, how teachers texted —— take to the box to say, pay for breakfast, he would not have gone back to his room for his card and he would not be here this morning. so they chip its being paid to the victims of the attacks, we will keep

you up to date this morning —— so many tributes being paid. has been a lovely bank holiday weekend, weather—wise. here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. it was a really one bank holiday weekend for the time of year. if you are standing outside, it is chilly, but the temperatures will rise and we will have another fine, mostly dry day with hazy sunshine. temperatures not quite as high as at the weekend. 0n easter monday, temperatures across all the nations we re temperatures across all the nations were above 20 degrees. the warmest day of the year so far was on saturday, temperatures shot up to 25.5 celsius in gosport in hampshire. through the next he days, the weather will turn more unsettled and fresher, but that may be good news if you are a gardener or a grower because you need the rain. you can see quite a bit of code in

the satellite picture, particularly from the east. in the west it is thick enough splashes of rain. we have clear skies across the north—east of scotland currently but we will see more cloud coming. if you are celebrating st george‘s day, it is not a bad day for it. the sunshine is hazy through the day, as temperatures rise you could see the shower, south—west england, central and southern england and parts of wales. for much of the uk it will be dry, breezy and we will see more cloud across areas. temperatures about 30 degrees, but in the sunshine, in the south, we could get up sunshine, in the south, we could get up to 22 degrees. this evening and overnight, showers gathering in the south—west will be heavier and we could hear some rumbles coming from them as they push into parts of wales and central and southern england. clear skies but not a cold

night, with the crowd in these moving towards the west we are looking at overnight lows of between seven and 12. the showers really gets going tomorrow, moving steadily northwards through the day, some heavy and century. turning fresher behind them, by the end of the afternoon we expect them to have got as far north as northern ireland and parts of southern scotland. for the rest of scotland, a fine and dry day, the east prone to more cloud. into thursday, anywhere could catch a shower. in the south is where babel starts, unable push northwards. there will be brightness further east but it will turn fresher, temperatures peaking at 14 or 15 degrees. at around this time of year we would look at 16 in london as the average. for the rest of the week, it remains unsettled, by the weekend, only on the mountains in the north, not at lower levels, we could even see some snow.

studio: snow, amazing. the magic of the british weather. we get everything. are you an early adopter? not everything, sometimes. randomly. seven things you think would be nifty, how do you feel about a folding phone? this is samson‘s next big thing. it has not quite worked out so far, to put it mildly. they have announced a launch date in the past, the 3rd of may in the uk, by the end of next week. it will cost you 1800 is. smartphones cost a lot anyway, it is even to —— it is easy to forget. it folds open, one screen, looks nice and smart, you can check your map. you can use it almost like a desktop screen, having a couple of things are it once. samsung are getting very

excited, as were lots of stores who sell these, about launching it in the us in couple of days and in the uk at the end of next week. they gaveit uk at the end of next week. they gave it to some people... the reason you see the reviews before it ends up you see the reviews before it ends up in the shops is lots of reviewers, important people, tech influences, they get the opportunity to try it. one reviewer got hold of this and tweeted this, this is what happened to theirs. oh, dear. this got tens of thousands of retweets and likes. there were several different reviewers doing this, so samsung had to act, they said that they found a problem on the hinge of they found a problem on the hinge of the screen. the screen is meant to folds, given this fancy material, nice and straightforward, it did not. there is an issue with the hinge. people will be familiar with this on smartphones, one of the

little peel back protected things, on this, it looks like it as a protector, it is the screen, people we re protector, it is the screen, people were fiddling about with it but you are not supposed to do that, it is the screen. galaxy ford had said the language they are using to tell customers how to use it will be improved. —— samsung has said the language they are using. you would expect things to be intuitive. you do not look at instructions anymore! when the iphone launch, that was massive, you did not need a manual. you turned it on and everything else followed. so this drive for innovation, it is a competitive market, huawei, the big chinese manufacturer, they are looking to launch a folding phone. samsung wa nted launch a folding phone. samsung wanted to be first, they have not announced a new launch date yet. the base having said all that, i am a big fan of a manual. thank you.

nearly half of young women believe that having a cosmetic procedure is the equivalent to having your hair cut. that‘s according to a poll commissioned by the bbc‘s victoria derbyshire and newsbeat programmes. the government is now launching a campaign, to warn of the potential dangers associated with treatments, such as lip fillers and botox. victoria‘s here with the details. good morning, what can you tell us? yes, we‘ve got a special programme at 10am today. it will be on the bbc news channel. most of them out women, some are men. many of them have had cosmetic procedures and we will ask if they are now the norm for young people. a quick scroll through instagram would suggest that is the case. we will ta ke suggest that is the case. we will take more about this exclusive poll we have had commissioned with newsbeat. 1000 women between 18 and

30 were questioned and the results suggest that almost half of women believe having a cosmetic procedure is like getting your hair cut. 47% of women believe britain is obsessed with cosmetic procedures. 45% of women believe it is too easy to get cosmetic procedures in britain. and if money and health were not a concern, 83% of 18—30—year—old women polled would change something about their body — most commonly their stomachs but also their breasts and bums. it is quite a list. what is the government dealing with this campaign? it‘s concerned about the fact that people are unaware of the risks of cosmetic procedures, particularly more complex surgery like brazilian bum lifts — two british women have died after having that procedure abroad — which is major surgery and carries significant risks. that is where fat from one part of your body is injected into your bum. but also, there‘s a growing concern about some smaller procedures

being carried out by unregulated practitioners, or even people carrying out procedures on themselves. that might be for things like injecting filler your face. we spoke to one man who admitted to us he self injects fillers that can be bought easily online. and he‘s even injected botox into his own face. i started to have a problem with my lips, they were uneven, one side was bigger than the other. i had blisters and it was incredibly painful. i was not sure what to do, to be honest. ijust assumed it was a filler and to be honest. ijust assumed it was a fillerandl to be honest. ijust assumed it was a filler and i did to be honest. ijust assumed it was a fillerand i did not to be honest. ijust assumed it was a filler and i did not look into the ingredients or anything. and a filler and i did not look into the ingredients oranything. and i had had a reaction to what i had injected into my lips. that guy has no training or qualifications to do that. he is just no training or qualifications to do that. he isjust one no training or qualifications to do that. he is just one of the stories we will bring you a 10am on the bbc news channel, i hope you canjoin us. news channel, i hope you canjoin us. thank you, victoria.

hazy in the south—east, otherwise, plenty of clear skies, another bright day, sunny start for many of us. bright day, sunny start for many of us. a bit more cloud in south—west england, through the midlands, wales, maybe one or two showers, hazy cloud, continuing in the east and south east in the afternoon, warm day, for many, temperatures 20 to 23 degrees. just a bit cooler on the north sea coast. continuing with lots of clear whether this evening and tonight, showers in the far south—west, another fairly mild night, temperatures no lower than eight to 10 degrees, showers in the south—west herald the change, whether front moving in from the south, south easterly wind, dragging m, south, south easterly wind, dragging in, quite a bit of warm air, a lot of dust with that as well. as we

move north, heavy, thundery, into southern portions of northern england —— into some portions of southern england. dust around, temperatures 18 to 20 celsius, further north, largely dry. highs of 18 or 19 degrees. the rest of the week, those temperatures, much lower, 13, 14 celsius at best, by the weekend, 11 or 12 degrees, the weather is certainly more unsettled, with outbreaks of rain.
