we are always going to bring improvements or taking away features that people don't like, or fixing things, and it's this very fluid development we have an active sandbox literally around the corner of customers going in and using it all day. with £1 million worth of investment so far, otherworld certainly looks the part but as one of the first vr arcades in the uk, it's probably too early to tell if it can keep enough people coming through its doors to keep things afloat. laughing in other pod. that's it for the short cut of click this week from otherworld. the full version is on iplayer, and don't forget, we live on social media. you'll find us there throughout the week on facebook, instagram, youtube and twitter at @bbcclick. see you soon — and if you need me,

i'll be in my pod. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. our headlines today: cosmetic clinics are accused of fuelling a mental health epidemic. england's top doctor tells firms they need to do more to protect vulnerable clients. sri lanka's security forces say at least 15 people, including some children, have been killed during gun battles with suspected islamist militants. fresh talks to try to break the political deadlock in northern ireland

are welcomed by the white house following the death of lyra mckee. more than 90 labour politicians demand thatjeremy corbyn commits to another referendum in the european election. 5—star liverpool go top again. they thrashed huddersfield at anfield to overtake manchester city again, so the pressure is now on city to respond at burnley tomorrow. plus: push—ups, press—ups, sprints and squats. i'll be finding out what it takes to make a crossfit champion. and in weather, storm hannah set to bring many of us a windy, wet and cool day. i'll have all the details right here on breakfast. it's saturday 27th april. our top story: clinics that provide cosmetic procedures, such as fillers and botox injections, are helping to fuel a mental health and anxiety epidemic — that's according to the medical director of nhs england.

professor stephen powis is calling for an official register of all providers and for better training to protect vulnerable clients from quick fixes, as our global health correspondent richard galpin reports. cosmetic procedures like botox injections and fillers are popular and easily available — notjust in clinics, but also in high—street outlets. the nhs is concerned there is a link between young people's mental health and these kinds of procedures. 25% of youngsters are worried about their appearance, 50% are worried about their weight, and we know that the evidence is if you've got those concerns, if you are feeling pressure or bombarded around idealised body image, that you are more likely to seek procedures, but you are also then more likely to be dissatisfied with the outcome of those procedures. to try to tackle this, the nhs wants all those providing

cosmetic procedures to sign up to an online training programme, teaching them how to recognise the signs and symptoms of vulnerability and mental ill health, and ensuring they tell customers where to get help if they show signs of being vulnerable. but the course is voluntary and so far, only 10% of providers have signed up for the training. richard galpin, bbc news. and we'll be speaking to professor stephen powis from nhs england — that'sjust after 8:00 this morning — and let us know what you think. while vulnerable people to easily able to get any cosmetic surgery or cosmetic treatments? let us know. 15 bodies, including six children, are reported to have been found in a house where sri lankan security forces exchanged fire with suspected islamic state militants. searches for extremists have been stepped up following the suicide attacks on churches and hotels last weekend, which killed at least 253

people and wounded hundreds more. jon donnison has this report. all week, the security forces in sri la nka all week, the security forces in sri lanka have been warning of further attacks. they were right. a raid in the east of the country found a massive bomb—making factory, gelignite, ballbearings, and explosives in huge quantities. also uncovered, and is flag. nearby, and another raid, police were involved ina gun another raid, police were involved in a gun battle with suspected extremist. 15 bodies were recovered, among them some civilians. in an interview with the bbc‘s clive myrie, the prime minister was asked about what many see as the failings of his government and why he had not been aware there had been intelligence warning of these easter

sunday attacks. unfortunately, i did know, but what do you do when you are out of the loop? you are talking about not being in the loop? other prime minister! we were number two oi'i prime minister! we were number two on the national security council! that is the critical issue, we need to find out who was in the loop and who was not in the loop. meanwhile the cleanup has begun at the saint anthony's shrine church in colombo, targeted in last week's blast, but ina the targeted in last week's blast, but in a the threat remains, the catholic church across the country has cancelled all masses scheduled for this sunday amid fears of more attacks. jon donnison, bbc news. politicians in northern ireland have been urged to do everything they can to restore power—sharing when they take part in fresh talks next month. the united states welcomed the news, saying it supported efforts to break the political deadlock, which has been in place since 2017. our ireland correspondent emma vardy reports.

at lyra mckee's funeral, the words of father martin magill received a standing ovation when he shamed politicians for failing to reconcile their differences to restore devolution. in his first interview since the address, he urged politicians to listen to the people. i get the sense that people want our politicians to move and they want them to move now, and by that, i mean in terms of entering into those talks and in a way that will actually bring a positive result at the end of them. political adversaries in northern ireland have been brought together by the death of the journalist who was shot during rioting in londonderry. more than two years since power—sharing collapsed in northern ireland, yesterday, the british and irish governments announced that in the wake of lyra's death, there would be fresh discussions to try to reach a new power—sharing agreement, beginning after the local elections next week. and we will work with all the parties to help them do that.

but repeated rounds of talks have previously failed, and big sticking points between the parties remain. emma vardy, bbc news. more than 90 labour mps and meps, including a number of shadow ministers, have signed a letter demanding the party commits to holding another referendum on any brexit deal. we're joined from our london newsroom by our political correspondent susanna mendonca. susanna, what exactly are they calling for here? we heard a lot of talk but this is quite a specific request. they want labour to include a clear commitment to hold a confirmatory referendum and this is basically, it would be a referendum ona basically, it would be a referendum on a final deal, if that is ever reached with the government on brexit. so that is what they are calling for and the reason they are calling for and the reason they are calling for and the reason they are calling for this is that labour is currently deciding what will go in its manifesto, that will be decided by its ruling body on tuesday —— labour. there has been some concern

from mps who support another referendum because there was a leaflet issued earlier on in the week which was a leaflet for the referendum campaign which did not include any mention of a confirmatory referendum and so a lot of mps are concerned that perhaps the leadership is not being clear enoughin the leadership is not being clear enough in its commitment to that. in terms of labour's policy, they want to keep everything including the referendum on the table but those involved in this letter are not the only ones, people within the shadow cabinet for example, emily thornberry the shadow foreign secretary has talked about any deal should be put to a vote and of course the government and labour are in discussions over whether or not they can back the prime minister's deal, no clarity on what will happen with that, but labour's problem is on the other side of that they have mps who are worried about the idea of supporting a confirmatory referendum because in some of the

key marginal seats in the north of england for example labour voters voted for brexit and so would they feel let down by labour if that became something that it was campaigning on the european referendum? so it is a key issue that for labour is advisory one. absolutely, susanna, thank you for that. --is a divisive one. the snp is to decide on a new currency plan for an independent scotland as its spring conference opens in edinburgh. the party leadership, including first minister nicola sturgeon, wants scotland to keep the pound in the years after independence. they say the country could then look to introduce its own currency if six economic tests are met. but some activists believe this does not go far enough, and want a separate currency introduced sooner. it's 20 years since the american—born, british—based, oscar—winning director stanley kubrick died. for the first time in the uk, a major exhibition exploring his film—making is being held at the design museum in london. when they were released, many of his films, including a clockwork orange, 2001: a space odyssey and dr strangelove were seen

as ahead of their time and still resonate today. our arts editor will gompertz reports. you are entering a stanley kubrick experience, a world of single—point perspective and almost obsessive attention to detail. if film—making was the art form of the 20th century, then stanley kubrick was its da vinci. a fine artist with a mechanical eye who produced celluloid masterpieces, from barry lyndon to a clockwork orange. malcolm mcdowell starred in the film. 0k, malcolm. the sports car he drove takes the lead in the exhibition. the last time i did this, i think i was in my 20s. oh, my god! what's the matter, will? are you having a problem? my feet are stuck... i'm in. good man, 0k. how did kubrick differ to other directors? i asked him, "how do you direct?" he said, "well, i know... i don't know what i want,

but i do know what i don't want." and how, wow, that was true. and i think that's why he did a lot of takes. luckily with me, he never really did that many takes. 0n barry lyndon, i heard he went up to 100 takes. the exhibition charts kubrick's near 50—year career, from his earliest days earning a living as a chess player and a photographer to the short films he made as a young auteur, in which he did pretty much everything. each of his major movies is given a gallery, telling its story, presenting the processes, props and people with whom kubrick collaborated. this is where most of the show‘s contents have come from — the film—maker's home and h0 in hertfordshire, which was a sort of kubrick studios. ok, so this library was the screening room. this was a workroom. so the steenbeck was over there, the control table was over here. what connection was he wanting to make with the audience?

he wanted to tell stories that made people think. he didn't spoon—feed you what you should think about his movie. and that's why, 50 years down the road, people are still discussing and talking about them. the exhibition ends with his oscar—winning sci—fi classic 2001: a space odyssey, complete with a space station v installation and a range of archive material that brings us as close as we are ever going to get to understanding this master film—maker. will gompertz, bbc news. such iconic films. a full check on what all the sport is doing, martin has the details for us is doing, martin has the details for us later. returning to our top story. father martin magill received a standing ovation atjournalist lyra mckee's funeral in belfast earlier this week, when he questioned why it had taken her death to bring together northern ireland's politicians. it's hoped fresh talks between the dup and sinn fein, will now restore the power—sharing government in stormont. we'rejoined now from ballymena

by journalist and writer kathryn johnston. thank you very much for your time. i know you knew lyra very well so it has been a difficult time for the likes of you and her family there. tell us, people have talked about a positive coming out of her death. do you think this offers an opportunity? i think it is up to all of us to work to ensure that it does andi of us to work to ensure that it does and i have known father martin magill for a number of years and i have utmost respect for the work he has done with communicating with leaders of faith communities and in terms of reconciliation and opposition to a paramilitary tax. it was no surprise to anyone in the cathedral that he showed such leadership on the day of lyra's funeral but what was a surprise was the anonymity with which the congregation in the cathedral stood more 01’ congregation in the cathedral stood more or less as congregation in the cathedral stood more 01’ less as one congregation in the cathedral stood more or less as one and the politicians were left a little on the back foot in their response. in

many ways, they were shamed into responding. this certainly seems to have given impetus to get the talks back on track. although almost immediately, we heard from sinn fein michelle o'neill saying unless we get a resolution on issues like equal marriage, it is a nonstarter and it is hard to see how political party like the dup will come on board with that. it is difficult. i was sitting about three rows behind the first minister arlene foster on thursday and it was touching to see her go up and embrace sarah canning, lyra mckee's partner, showing the most complete and perfect compassion but a couple of days after the funeral, she reiterated the du p would maintain their opposition to equal marriage and i found that difficult to take. there are a few sticking points that both parties

will have to resolve. first, the irish language act. that was almost dissolved last year but the talks broke down. same—sex marriage, as you both mentioned, the rh! scandal which the du p were enmeshed in and foreshadowed the collapse of the assembly a couple of years ago but i have to say, it's notjust down to the politicians. some years ago, lyra wrote a moving piece, she was born in 1990 and wrote a very moving piece and she was down in my house about three weeks before she was

murdered and we were just talking about that again, the political vacuum, and she repeated the lines from her original piece. we were promised everything but nothing was delivered. it is my generation and other generations who lived through the trouble is, it's up to us to show our results and pushing the politicians to make a success of talks this time. we want these talks to succeed. the day before lyra was murdered, i was at a school event in ballymena, where victims of the troubles told their stories and it was really noticeable, you are sitting there with 16—to 18— —year—olds asking what they can do not to make this happen again. one of the victim said, whatever politicians you support, speak to them and told them to get into talks so them and told them to get into talks so that we can ensure this situation stops once and for all. what is surprising to a lot of people is

that there is still, and it's a tiny minority, but there are a number of people of that younger generation, the generation of the ceasefire babies who have somehow been caught up babies who have somehow been caught up in this kind of political violence. can you explain why that still exists, even if it's in tiny numbers? ever since the 50s, 60s, 70s, the numbers? ever since the 50s, 60s, 705, the ira numbers? ever since the 50s, 60s, 70s, the ira has split is one branch oi’ 70s, the ira has split is one branch or another. this is a tiny but very dedicated minor cell composed of older men and some younger people. as lyra said, she was a ceasefire baby and probably murdered by a ceasefire baby. these young people are ceasefire baby. these young people a re left ceasefire baby. these young people are left with no hope, we've given them nothing. health services cut

them nothing. health services cut the bone. educational possibilities are limited. thejob the bone. educational possibilities are limited. the job situation the bone. educational possibilities are limited. thejob situation is very poor. incredibly, northern ireland has the highest rate of homelessness in the uk and the highest rate of youth suicide. it's up highest rate of youth suicide. it's up to all of us to push the politicians and urged them to stick together for our sakes. these are the guardians of our future, the ceasefire generation. we owe it to them to do what we can. they can fulfil their role as guardians of the future. thank you very much indeed. if you're still under the duvet this morning, you might want to stay there because a bit wild outside. matt has the details for us. outside. matt has the details for us. not a bad outside. matt has the details for us. nota bad idea outside. matt has the details for us. not a bad idea for some parts of

the country. a complete contrast. we saw last weekend, storm hanna has rolled and of the atlantic. not a major storm by any means but we could still see some travel disruption and minor damage with strong to gale force winds. wins which through the night topped 80 miles per hour in wales. wins across many parts of the west of england and wales, which does continue through this morning as well. the satellite imagery, they canjust through this morning as well. the satellite imagery, they can just see the swell of cloud. the cloud calls back on itself. pushing across northern england, lighter winds to the north of it. through this morning, widespread gaels, 40, 50 miles per hour around these irish sea coasts. taking us through the morning, and add to that, lots of heavy rain. you can see rain across wales into the midlands, north—west england as well. that continues

through the day. the same areas that i wet could be worked on and off through the day. southern counties of england, a little bit of rain but a lot of dry weather here with some sunshine, monetary showers developing. showers across scotland in the north—east of england. in these areas, could stay dry. wins lightest in scotland. eight or nine degrees in northern ireland. we could still see some rain to end the day. the strongest winds through the afternoon. around the irish sea coasts. through the night, rain to parts of western england and wales. showers across eastern areas in the wind will pick up the north—east england through the evening and overnight, coldest of all, northern ireland where temperatures will drop for a touch of frost because you are under original hi pressure. the storm is becoming less of a feature,

pushing away and if you're watching or spectating the london marathon tomorrow, the outside chance of a shower. much more comfortable temperatures. a bit of a breeze blowing through eastern england. no near as strong as today. plenty of cloud. cloud increasing in south—west england and wales. the many, tomorrow, not a bad day. lots of dry weather, a bit more sunshine it will feel warmer. bridges into the mid— teens, will continue to see the mid— teens, will continue to see the warmest of the weather as we go into the start of next week. after a dry start, things will gradually —— gradually turns showery and cooler is wins developed in the north but certainly today, the wins of keynote. take care. pretty good conditions for marathon runners. not too wet or windy. good luck if you are running that marathon. quite a

challenge on your hands. almost 80,000 children in england were living in care in 2018, and with the system under growing pressure, some of those who have experienced the system have for the first time been asked to share their stories as a way to improve care provision. yesterday 150 people gathered in liverpool to discuss how care leavers can influence and educate policy makers. we're joined now by chair of the conference, ian dickson and also by carrie wilson—harrop who both spent time in care while they were growing up. good morning, thank you for coming in. different experiences, you grow up in. different experiences, you grow up in different generations. tell us about your own story. in the 50s, it was a very different time. you could be given a huge hiding, coupons in order books. young people have very

little say in the way they were cared for. and we tended to leave ca re cared for. and we tended to leave care after 18 and there would be no after—care. a lot of young people in those days became homeless. it didn't prepare you for adulthood. it will leave feeling bad about themselves. we —— people will leave ca re themselves. we —— people will leave care feeling bad about themselves. may she was talking to people and i was getting the same messages. 50 yea rs. was getting the same messages. 50 years. it's changed. so i was in ca re years. it's changed. so i was in care from the early to thousands from age 11 until 18 and obviously we had a leaving care package at that point. it was under the old structure. if you are in education,

up structure. if you are in education, up to 25. still leaving care with that negative stereotype and negative stigma, self—esteem and confidence, and even though there is generations between our experiences in care, those issues are still happening in the still happening today. ian, are you surprised so little has changed? a great deal has changed in terms of young people no longer getting hit, hopefully. all sorts of things that have improved. but some things haven't improved, the important things that young people still feel stigmatised, still feel discriminated against and can still leave 18 ill—prepared for the community and many, many are homeless. the point of the conference was to use your experience on the experience of 150 other people. even more. many more

turned up yesterday. to get that many number of people in the room to share those experiences. the first thing that struck me was, why hasn't this happened before? a good question. it happened because many of us, and a lot of professional friends and colleagues who shared our concern about the way things were, they got very concerned about things repeating and repeating and thought, it's time to get people together. who knows more about care than care experience people? if you ask a 16—year—old what life is like after—care, he wouldn't know but if you ask me, and i'm nearly 70, what life is like in care, i wouldn't know but if you brought a 16—year—old or 25—year—old and a 17—year—old and 37—year—old together, what a world of wisdom. other specific things you are asking for? i ran three workshops yesterday

with various ages, children still in ca re with various ages, children still in care although out to people in the 80s and there was a lot of issues around mental health, the continuity of care, transitions in care, out of care. transitions in medical. massive issues for waiting lists for mental health support. very, very common for children in care. they end up at the back of the list. so there is one person. i had a crisis andl there is one person. i had a crisis and i have 2.5 years and another year to wait but i think i'm probably going to move in the next year so i got to go back to the end of the list. that isn't good enough. we are failing these young people who go into the care traumatised, they need that care when they first go into care. they are leaving the

end at 18a go into care. they are leaving the end at 18 a lot of the time and still, with a lot of issues, they don't stop when you turn 18 or 25, they continue because they are not dealt with. i would love to talk more about this, it's such an interesting bit of work you are doing. it's an important work for change of the back of this, we hope. months of training will come to fruition this time tomorrow, when thousands of amateur and professional athletes line up for the london marathon. in the men's wheelchair race, all eyes will be on david weir, who's looking for a record nineth course victory. his team matejohnboy smith, is an upcoming wheelchair racer whose life was changed in a split second as a teenager. kate grey has been to meet him at his training base at richmond park. johnboy smith is one of britain's rising stars on the wheelchair

racing circuit but he never set out to be. his life changed at the age of 16 to be. his life changed at the age of16 in to be. his life changed at the age of16ina to be. his life changed at the age of 16 in a tragic case of mistaken identity. i stumble upon the wrong farm at the wrong time, mistaken for a poacher, iwas farm at the wrong time, mistaken for a poacher, i was accused of poaching and everything like that, the farmer fired a warning shot at me instead of asking questions, were you poaching, were you here before the warning shot, me and my friends ran back to the car, the farmer shot with a rifle, he shot through the back of the car, into the seat and through my spine. that's the less 90w through my spine. that's the less gory short story. and that was it? that was it, instantly total paralysis. for his -- industry, he was a keen amateur boxer in his traveller community which is now longer hospital after rehab hospital, he had to come to with his new way of life stop my mom was pushing me around the hospital in a wheelchair and i was thinking i'm not going to let her do that and i'm a 16—year—old boy and i need

dignity. it inspired me to be better, be stronger physically and mentally. anjust all better, be stronger physically and mentally. an just all snowballed from there really. over time, johnboy smith tried out a number of different sports and found his calling as a marathon racer. it's going to be silver and bronze. success with silver at last year's commonwealth games. the best moment in his wheelchair racing career so far. but it's not about medals for johnboy, he wants to be a role model in his community and prove everything is possible. you can have the worst news in the world, you can't use your legs, you can't block this, you can't have a normaljob. can't use your legs, you can't block this, you can't have a normaljoblj wa nted this, you can't have a normaljoblj wanted to show there is life after disability and tragedy. i'm just a local lad from kent and are just so happens that i'm very good at wheelchair racing. remarkable story. as we said earlier, good luck to eve ryo ne as we said earlier, good luck to everyone out there tomorrow, you are all remarkable in your own way. even making it to the starting line. we

will be watching, cheering you on. still to come on breakfast, how often do you read your children a bedtime story? two teachers are helping parents too busy for storytime by streaming them online. we'll discuss the benefits of a night—time routine. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and rachel burden. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. clinics that provide cosmetic procedures, such as fillers and botox injections, are helping to fuel a mental health and anxiety

epidemic — that's according to the medical director of nhs england. professor stephen powis is calling for an official register of all providers and for better training to protect vulnerable clients from quick fixes. nhs england says only 100 out of 1,000 cosmetic practitioners are currently registered. not all practitioners are part of thejoint council not all practitioners are part of the joint council and we really want to get to a position where any procedure that is offered is done so safely, where the assessments are good, where we take care and attention around people's mental as well as physical health. sri lankan security forces have exchanged fire with suspected islamic state militants in the east of the country. reports say 15 bodies, including six children, have been found in a house where the gun battle took place. the country has remained on high alert since the easter suicide attacks on churches and hotels that killed 253 people and injured more than 500.

politicians in northern ireland have been urged to do everything they can to restore power—sharing when they take part in fresh talks next month. the coalition government at stormont broke down in january 2017 and since then, the two main parties — the democratic unionists and sinn fein — have been unable to reach agreement on a range of issues. father martin magill, who led journalist lyra mckee's funeral service, stressed the need for peace and a resolution. i get the sense that people want our politicians to move, and they want them to move now. and by that, i mean in terms of entering into those talks and a way that will actually bring a positive result at the end of them. more than 90 labour mps and meps, including a number of shadow ministers, have signed a letter demanding the party commits to holding another referendum on any brexit deal. labour's ruling national executive will meet on tuesday to finalise the pa rty‘s manifesto for the european elections, which are due to take place in less

than four weeks' time. the snp is to decide on a new currency plan for an independent scotland as its spring conference opens in edinburgh. the party leadership, including first minister nicola sturgeon, wants scotland to keep the pound in the years after independence. they say the country could then look to introduce its own currency if six economic tests are met. but some activists believe this does not go far enough, and want a separate currency introduced sooner. at least 10,000 homes are , homes are at least 10,000 homes have been left without power —— at least 10,000 homes have been left without power in ireland as storm hannah hits the uk. a red weather warning is in place for counties clare and kerry. the storm is expected to pass through southern wales and south—west england this morning. travel disruption is highly likely. a birthday message from

the white house to melania trump has gone viral on twitter. here it is. the white house wished the first lady a happy 49th birthday, alongside a picture of her sitting alone on a sofa as nearly 20 photographers circled her. iam not i am not sure necessarily this is the kind of happy photo that you would choose to send to someone, your nearest and dearest. but people quickly began to mock the photo, which was taken during a meeting between donald trump and the czech prime minister in march. many have branded the picture choice "strange" and "weird". other figures have been otherfigures have been photoshopped onto the sofa beside her. it is like a bad television advert, isn't it? it does not look comfortable. maybe she is looking like the centre of attention because she has a famous husband. and she is sitting there dignified while the rest of the world rallies around her. all of that space on the sofa, you think that space on the sofa, you think that she would give them a seat. but how do she pick? diplomacy! anyway,

liverpool have done their bit, thrashing huddersfield. the goal difference is three less, so, so close. what more can they do, liverpool? 91 points, no other team could not expect to win but this is no regular season. it's a case of who blinks first in this unprecedented title race, so it's now up to manchester city now, one point behind to respond, at burnley tomorrow. andy swiss reports. all sing: liverpool, liverpool, liverpool! they might be the underdogs in the title race, but you would scarcely have guessed it. liverpool fans in bullish mood, hoping for a win to ramp up the pressure on rivals manchester city. and the hosts could afford to be confident — their opponents, huddersfield, after all, are rock bottom of the table. but surely, even they could not have dreamt of a start quite like this. liverpool ahead after just 15 seconds. blink and you'd missed it. but naby keita didn't mind, and fair to say neither did his manager.

and jurgen klopp soon had plenty more to celebrate as his players made it look oh, so simple. the second, courtesy of sadio mane, and when just before the break mo salah added a typically sumptuous third, any lingering anfield nerves had long since vanished. surely, it was nowjust a case of how many and while liverpool weren't quite at their best, they didn't need to be — mane with his second of the night as his side coasted to the most comfortable of wins. it was just what enfield had hoped for and it was all rounded off by salah — a 5—0 thumping and for now, at least, liverpool go top. their premier league title dream is still very much alive. so job done here for liverpool, but they will know that manchester city still have that game in hand and if they win it against burnley on sunday, they will go back on top of the table with just two matches remaining, so this enthralling title race, it seems, is heading right to the wire. andy swiss, bbc news, anfield.

it's an outstanding group of players, obviously, and tonight, they did again very well against a huddersfield side who, i have to say, did much better than the result shows. because we had really to work hard in a lot of situations, so they defended well but especially they had proper counter attacks, so, like, and they played in short spaces and they got set pieces and all this other stuff. it was really work and so, we needed to be patient as well. the boys were that. and then, they scored wonderful goals. they have the advantage, two points ahead for now. so close! england's danny rose says he's lost for words after uefa's decision to force montenegro to play their next home match behind closed doors. no fans will be allowed in to watch their next euro qualifier against kosovo after their supporters racially abused england players during the 5—1victory in montenegro last month. rose says it's not harsh enough.

bolton have confirmed their match against brentford today in the championship is off because their players are refusing to play again until their wages are paid. bolton have already been relegated to league one, and were hoping a prospective new owner would sort the dispute. the players have apologised to fans, saying their decision wasn't ta ken lightly. the football league will now look at what to do next. england cricketer alex hales has been suspended following an "off—field incident". hales missed nottinghamshire's one—day cup games last week for what the county described as "personal reasons". whilst the issue is not cricket—related, hales accepted that it was right that he was suspended. it's been a dramatic start to the formula one weekend in azerbaijan. george russell's williams hit a loose manhole cover, causing the first practice session to be abandoned. what's more, the car was covered in fluid after the recovery truck hit a bridge on its way back to the pits. the two ferraris were quickest.

we would do our preparations all day yesterday and the guys were getting the car ready and preparing for the week ahead, all to be thrown down the drain literally after one lap so frustrating day for us. indeed! ahead of the final day of the jump racing season, richard johnson rode his 200th winner as he celebrates a fourth champion jockey title. he reached the milestone, in a season, for only the second time in his career at perth yesterday. he also achieved the same feat three years ago. and bryony frost has been passed fit to ride today and will be crowned conditional champion — the title forjockeys under the age of 26. frost broke her collarbone after becoming the first female jockey to win a grade 1 race at the cheltenham festival over fences. she'll ride present man in today's gold cup. world snooker champion mark williams has been taken to hospital with chest pains while playing in his second round world championship match, at the crucible. the welshman fell ill

after his second session against david gilbert and is trailing 5—3. williams has tweeted, "doctors don't think it's my heart" and should resume playing later today. elsewhere, neil robertson is the first man through to the quarterfinals. the australian, who is the now the tournament favourite, beat shaun murphy by 13 frames to 6. newcastle remain bottom of rugby union's premiership after losing 31 points to 17 to northampton, while sale jumped to sixth in the league, as they beat bath is a try—less game. —— in a try—less game. aj macginty kicked both sale's penalties to keep their faint hopes of a top 4 finish alive. when the world's best surfers took on powerful waves at bells beach in australia, it was more spills than thrills for the elite wave riders. world number one italo ferreira tackled the giant surf before this wipe—out saw him wash over the reef. the yellowjersey holder managed to pick himself up, albeit with some help,

before finally getting some warmth and drying off in the arms of his girlfriend. his pride was definitely hurt there. wow. it isa it is a tough life as a professional surfer, it really is! i would not say washed over the reef. there is a refu nd say washed over the reef. there is a refund of their so that is what creates those waves. —— there is a reef there. so maybe it did hurt if he was smashed into it. another thing now that test your strength and nerves. —— another thing now that tests your strength and nerves. seven years ago to the day, i reported on the emerging alternative gym sport known as crossfit, which requires speed, agility, strength and gymnastic skills. now many of the top athletes have turned professional and i've been to meet some of the british team

in manchester, who are preparing for the world crossfit games to find out why they can now claim to be the fittest athletes on earth. elliot is the uk's fittest man, while jamie is the fittest woman in new zealand when it comes to the sport of crossfit. when they get married next winter, it should be some bomb. jamie's on another level to me at the minute, but i will get her one day. on some things. but other things, it depends. like, i prefer gymnastics and elliot's into his running, rowing — all the tall stuff. crossfit started in the usa in the early 2000s and aims to test an athlete's strength, speed, balance, agility and stamina across a number of challenges. what makes the crossfit games so unique for the athletes is they don't know what competition they are going to be facing until the event itself, so they do have to be prepared

for anything and it's certainly brought out the inner athlete in me. for instance, in 2015, it was the pegboard that was thrown into the mix. a lot of athletes did not know what to do and, indeed, only a handful managed to complete this event. ok, thanks paul. great. that was so high! cheers, buddy. at the elite level, the british team heading to the world championships includes athletes of different ages. so, i'm 41. i got into crossfit about six years ago, so pretty late, but i've never looked back at a different sport. it just gets you going and that, and you can, like, really push yourself to do things that you never thought you could do. i feel like, erm, crossfit gives people a chance who feel a little bit left out in a team sport or other sports the chance to prove themselves. leading the way for the uk since this sport started is former firefighter sam briggs, world champion in 2013 and still going strong now

she is a full—time professional, while also helping to promote the benefits of her sport to all. the beauty of crossfit is we take functional movements, so if you are just doing crossfit for fitness, it's gonna make you fitter for life. like sandbags over... so when you are doing the gardening, that's gonna feel so much easier. you're right. ijoined a class for people after work. it started with warm—ups and then competed in teams of two. luckily, i was paired with ex—marine andy. you take it in turns with your partner to complete the challenges faster, you hope, than the other teams. and variety is the name of the game as you work out all of your body. i've just been struggling since i had my second child. my body's felt like a bag of worms. so always had a back ache and shoulder ache. it's mainly, i guess, just generallyjust been feeling stronger in myself. i don't get backache any more, which is great. that's it. there we go. the end of the most gruelling routine. sorry, i'm done.

that's it. so first session like that for me, i was a bit broken. it really is good for everyday fitness. it makes me feel tired watching it. they tailor it for your individual needs and fitness. no—one is doubting your fitness. no—one is doubting your fitness. thanks, mike, nice to see you. it is the weather being at the gym and not out and about. it's gruesome. but some of you, not a bad start to the weekend. it won't stay that way, storm storm hannah moved off the atlantic overnight, it's not

with me, samira ahmed. the extinction rebellion protests in london over the past couple of weeks have put climate change on the agenda of bbc news, but should it be at the top of that agenda more frequently? and if the president of the united states uses bad language, is the news at ten entitled to broadcast his words in full? for much of the past fortnight, climate change protesters have made their presence felt in locations across london. last wednesday, tom symonds caught up with some of them on waterloo bridge. this is normally one of the busiest bridges across the thames. extinction rebellion, a new direct—action protest group, hoped to take control of this — and other key london locations — for up to two weeks.

but today, police moved in and made more arrests. by the time the protest had finished this thursday, more than 1,000 people had been arrested. opinions about the bbc‘s coverage of the demonstrations was divided, with ken sturt asking... but other viewers last week had the opposite perspective. here is stephen sterling and, first, mel st pier. it's a pity that during a recent break in reporting the brexit chaos, the bbc did not divert more of its tv resources to covering the significant protests going on around the world, in particular near london, concerning the far more important problem facing us — climate change. was it because the bbc, like donald trump, does not think climate change is significant enough to bother about? i was surprised to see the minimal coverage of the first day of the extinction rebellion's climate change protest on monday's bbc news at ten.

thousands of people blocked london's streets, but this was ignored in the headlines. and later in the programme, i think it got less than 30 seconds coverage, leaving people rather poorly informed. by contrast, itv dealt with it in about two minutes, while channel 4 had proper coverage. the fact that protesters were initiating a campaign on the biggest issue of our time, with the implications for our politics and society, seems to have been missed by the editors. it raises the question how media should cover something which is notjust contained but is a long emergency. that question exorcised other viewers, too. the subject was explored last week's bbc one documentary climate change — the facts, presented by david attenborough, was marked by monday's earth day and highlighted by the visit to the uk on tuesday of the 16—year—old swedish activist greta thunberg, who spoke to mps and appeared on a number of bbc outlets. what was this media focus on what the teenager called "an existential crisis" a one—off, and has bbc news failed to give

the subject sufficient attention up to now? ian price also recorded a video for us. in the light of the united nations climate report, that we only have 12 years to change our lifestyles to avoid climate catastrophe, dare i suggest that bbc news and current affairs' attitude on the matter is fairly relaxed? one might expect that the prospect of imminent climate change would lead to frequent reports about small changes we could make to our lifestyles. ian price there. and sarah cooper echoed that sentiment, writing... and jack lewis agreed... well, to respond to that charge, i'm joined now

from coventry by roger harrabin, the bbc‘s environment analyst. thank you for coming on newswatch. the extinction rebellion protests, have a huge amount of coverage in the last fortnight on bbc news. is it proof the bbc should have been doing much more about climate change before? i am an environment correspondent, so obviously, i would like to have seen the bbc doing much more on the environment, in all its shades and flavours. to be fair, though, editors have had some difficulty with climate change. a while ago, commissioning editors were saying that they wouldn't commission documentaries because it was a bit of a turn—off. now there is a massive interest in climate change, but that has not always been the case. the other problem with importing on climate change, one of many problems, actually, is that things move so slowly, so your pictures always appeared to be the same. it's always melting glaciers, it's always rising sea levels, it's always floods and droughts. editors get rather weary of that.

you've absolutely summed up the kind of questions that come in from audiences. i wonder as well... a year ago, the bbc was found to breach 0fcam rules about climate deniers. how far has the bbc change the way it covers the whole issue now? until that ruling, i would get phoned up regularly by a junior producer on the programme who had jumped into him or her the bbc‘s absolutely sacred duty of impartiality. so if they had somebody on television or radio, or even local radio saying, "climate change is a problem," they felt obliged to put on someone saying, "actually, climate change is not a problem." that has evaporated. now climate sceptics say, "we cannot get on air at all, and we still have some important things to say from time to time." so the conversation on how we cover climate change is really not absolutely conclusively closed.

if overall, as you seem to have said, the bbc is accepting that climate change is a burning priority and audiences want more coverage, should it not be leading news bulletins all the time? i think you've put your finger on it there. nothing leads news bulletins all the time. in the light of the united nations climate report, that we only have 12 years to change our lifestyles to avoid climate catastrophe, news involves conflict and drama and personality. often, climate change doesn't have much of that. it's had an awful lot over the past few weeks thanks to extinction rebellion. that's one of the reasons why they've been so successful. they've been so inventive. they've been dancing on the streets and drumming... and that absolutely incredible pink boat in the middle of oxford circus. how on earth did they get that into the middle of oxford circus with all the police standing by?

goodness only knows. using all those tricks, novelty, with the passion of greta thunberg and her extraordinary ability to rebuke us in our own language, aged 16. there's new things happening here, the attenborough documentary. you're seeing an awful avalanche of opinion and concern that, frankly, i haven't seen on this issue in a long time. how do you personally see your role in covering climate change for bbc news? we are constantly looking for new things to say, but within the broader truth of what's happening with the climates. next week, for instance, i'm doing some reporting on soil. most people no idea that soil holds more carbon then there is in the atmosphere. soil holds more carbon than there is in trees. we have to keep looking for new angles and just keep stressing that this is an ongoing problem. roger harrabin, thank you so much. at least 250 people are now known to have died in the horrific bombings in sri lanka last sunday of the attacks and their aftermath have been widely

reported on bbc news. but there were some reservations about some of that coverage. like most people, i was appalled by the acts of terrorism on easter sunday in sri lanka and the devastating loss of life. the close—up camera shots of women screaming for their children and grandchildren, the raw and visceral emotion was deeply unsettling, and ifelt i was intruding on private acts of grief. i appreciate how difficult it is to reports on horrific incidents like this, but on this occasion, i feel you overstepped the decency line. last thursday, robert mueller‘s investigation into alleged russian interference in the last us presidential election was finally released. president trump welcomed the report as a complete exoneration, as jon sopel describes from washington. it describes the follow from the firing of the fbi directorjames comey. the then—attorney general,

jeff sessions, goes in to see the president to tell him that he's decided to appoint a special counsel to investigate russian collusion and obstruction of justice. donald trump is furious and uses very strong language. the news at ten — and newsnight after it — then proceeded to broadcast some of that very strong language, including a particular explicit verb. and that provoked some angry reactions from viewers, including austin kirk, who e—mailed...

well, we asked bbc news for their response to those complaints, and this is what they told us. as well as reporting on the mueller investigation, another ofjon sopel‘s recent activities has come under the spotlight since we were last on—air. as well as reporting on the mueller investigation, another ofjon sopel‘s recent activities has come under the spotlight since we were last on—air. buzzfeed news revealed the bbc north america editor addressed executives of the tobacco giant philip morris at a staff conference in miami. health charities and anti—smoking campaigners were not impressed. and nor was clare sambrook, who tweeted. ..
