of the second world war, there will be events across the uk in may to mark the 75th anniversary of ve day. and we've got a little bit of sunshine in the forecast today, but also some snow, and the details on that coming up in the forecast. it's sunday 23 february. our top story: tyson fury has won one of the most eagerly anticipated world heavyweight title fights in years, after beating deontay wilder in las vegas. fury won the fight after wilder's corner threw in the towel in the seventh round. it has all happened in the last hour or $0. it has all happened in the last hour or so. john, what a performance. breathtaking performance from tyson fury. he said he was going to come out strong knockdown deontay wilder in the first two it looked as though at one point he was on course to do that. he knocked him down for the first time in the third and deontay wilder went down again in the fifth,

and he was out on his legs at times. we knew he was coming in at his heaviest, deontay wilder, compared to any other professional fight before, and he said himself after the defeat there were some complications but taking nothing away from tyson fury. i really composed, dominant performance, and it led to deontay wilder's team throwing in the towel on the seventh round. the realjeopardy watching it, even as a layman, was that the one thing we were hearing was that wilder has a heckuva punch and one punch could do it, even as he was struggling. even in those later rounds you are thinking just one punch. that's it, and that is the ferocious power that deontay wilder has, and this is the way the rematch was being built, the knockout power of wilder and his punches versus the more boxing ring wise ability of tyson fury. we can speak now to sports reporter ade adedoyin in las vegas. what is the atmosphere like,

following that fight and that incredible performance from tyson fury we have just seen? the atmosphere was phenomenal. it was a matchup between a boxer and a puncher, and most people thought deontay wilder's best bet was on points because of his technical abilities, but he said i am pressing for a knockout. the phrase he used was i am going to believe the bully. what was he playing into tyson fu ry‘s what was he playing into tyson fury‘s hands, knocking out most of the opponents he has faced so far? and he was as good as his word, putting him down. and after that, deontay wilder was on jelly legs. after being pummelled, deontay wilder's trainer threw in the towel for a career defining win for tyson fury. i didn't speak to many people who thought he could not deontay wilder out. they thought the best chance was on points and most people thought that at some points deontay wilder would land a big right hand and ended. i interviewed a former world champion earlier this week and

he told me that tyson fury is the better boxer but deontay wilder has 36 minutes to get him out of there and at some point he will connect. but that power just and at some point he will connect. but that powerjust didn't land and tyson fury used his technical ability to great effect and scored a sensational victory. and ability to great effect and scored a sensationalvictory. and put ability to great effect and scored a sensational victory. and put it into some kind of context for us, because there was so much hype in the lead up there was so much hype in the lead up to this fight, as there always is when it comes to boxing, but we were seeing two genuine heavyweights going head—to—head here, and with tyson fury becoming a world heavyweight champion for the second time, just put into context where this fight ranks alongside some of the other heavyweight platters we have seen before, and the significance of this result. well, tyson fury said in the lead up to this he felt this was the biggest heavyweight matchup for 50 years. what you have to remember is this is a rematch between two doctors in their prime. it is where you get that in boxing, because often people hide behind sanctioning bodies and their issues in negotiating a fight —— boxing. to their credit, they faced each other in 2018, tyson fury getting off the canvas and showing

his incredible powers of recovery. when you think about what he has been through in his life over the last five years, it is a remarkable story. it is the stuff of hollywood movies. remember, he had years away from the sport, because he had issues in his personal life with drink and drugs and depression. he showed tonight he is a fighter not just outside the ring, but inside the ring as well, and as i say, hollywood couldn't have written a better script for tyson fury. the gypsy better script for tyson fury. the gypsy king is the heavyweight king once again. many thanks indeed for that, and i am sure we will be hearing plenty more from las vegas throughout the morning, with plenty of reaction to come. but as ade was saying, that you forget the difficulties that tyson theory has had. after that fight against wladimir klitschko, and his battle with depression and drugs, to put that behind him and produce a performance like we have

seen this morning... that was an incredible performance from tyson theory. and we will have a boxer on theory. and we will have a boxer on the sofa later on. i have been labouring up. every into heavyweight. cheers, john. speakto you later. part of italy are in lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus. the country has seen the largest outbreak in europe, with 79 cases and two deaths. meanwhile, 32 british and irish cruise passengers have spent their first night in quarantine after arriving back in the uk yesterday from japan. sean dilley reports. italy has so far seen more confirmed cases of coronavirus than any other country in europe. in response, they have postponed several sporting fixtures, including inter milan's game against centauri. a number of towns in the north of the country have been placed on lockdown. erica lives in the lombardi region. translation: we are trying to remain

calm, because in those situations, it is easy to panic. we go and buy food supplies because we don't know if the supermarkets will stay open. we hope everything will be fine. this is where 30 british and two irish citizens are waking up this morning, quarantined for the next two weeks after their evacuation from the diamond princess cruise ship. inside this nursing accommodation block at arrowe park hospital, clinicians have previously treated coronavirus patients who have travelled from china. the group of people are slightly different. 0bviously they have come from a cruise ship rather than from their own homes over in china, but we are working exactly the same as we did before, with the healthcare professionals, public health england, to make sure that they are safe and well managed and co mforta ble safe and well managed and comfortable while they are with us. meanwhile, around 150 patients who we re meanwhile, around 150 patients who were evacuated from china two weeks ago will be allowed to leave this training centre in milton keynes

today after finishing their quarantine. a specialist team of experts from the world health 0rganization have landed in wuhan, in china. they say their mission is to stop the spread of the disease, ata time to stop the spread of the disease, at a time when the number of deaths and diagnoses is on the rise. the left—wing candidate bernie sanders appears to have won a resounding victory in the latest stage of the democrats' search for a candidate to take on donald trump in november's us election. he won around 40% of the vote in nevada, as sophie long reports. nevada's caucuses were the first chance for democratic presidential hopefuls to show their appeal to a diverse group of voters, in a state with a population representative of the country as a whole. the 78—year—old senator from vermont had already left nevada for campaign events in texas when he claimed victory. i think all of you know we w011 victory. i think all of you know we won the popular vote in iowa. we won

the new hampshire primary. and, according to three networks and the ap, we have now won the nevada caucus. his triumphant cements his status as the democrats' national front runner, but it will deepen concern among moderates, in a party who feel the self—described democratic socialist is too liberal to defeat donald trump. former vice presidentjoe biden claimed what his tea m presidentjoe biden claimed what his team described as a strong second place, and success substantial enough to trigger a comeback after a poor start to this primary season. so it was a great night for bernie sanders, but there's no stopping to savour the taste of rectory. most candidates have already left nevada to campaign in super tuesday states, which will vote injust to campaign in super tuesday states, which will vote in just over a week's time. the next debate is in

three days. the gloves came off here in las vegas. the fight will continue in south carolina. the generation who helped the war effort are being urged to come forward to help mark the 75th anniversary of ve day. a series of events will be held to mark the end of the second world war in europe on 8 may, as katharine da costa reports. sardines had nothing on the crowds in trafalgar square and piccadilly. after six long years of fear, blackouts and war, suddenly the national mood shifted to celebration. the children, so many of whom have no nothing else but war, this they must have seemed like an entry into never—never land. war, this they must have seemed like an entry into never-never land. on eighth of may 1945, more than 1 million people in britain took to the streets after winston churchill announced the war in europe was over. hostilities well and

officially at one minute after midnight tonight, tuesday eighth of may. we may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing. to recreate that iconic moment, 75 years on, an extra ct that iconic moment, 75 years on, an extract from that victory speech will be broadcast in public spaces across the uk. last post sounds. this was a service of thanksgiving at westminster abbey on the 70th anniversary. 0nce at westminster abbey on the 70th anniversary. once again, tributes will be paid to the heroes of the second world war, as we remember the sacrifices they made, securing peace across the continent. as a way of saying thank you, the royal british legion is holding a ballot, offering vip treatment for 750 veterans, descendents, evacuees, and those who served on the home front. it will include a procession down the all,

aerial displays from vintage aircraft, as well as a fly past by the red arrows —— mall. throughout the red arrows —— mall. throughout the bank holiday weekend, part of st james's park will be turned into victory park, with themed events based on life in britain during the second world war. away from london, there will be a service of remembrance and parade in cardiff, a vetera ns remembrance and parade in cardiff, a veterans parade in concert in edinburgh, and hundreds of street parties in towns and villages across the country. it will certainly have a party atmosphere. not only has the bank holiday been moved to coincide with the 75th anniversary, pubs will be staying open until 1am over the weekend, all helping to recreate that moment 75 years ago when the nation stopped to celebrate victory in europe. it really is quite an occasion, isn't it, and a rescheduled frank

holliday, the bank holiday happening on friday eighth of may, rather than the two bank holidays on a monday, that we are used to. and he's done it. ‘speedo mick‘ has walked the length of the country wearing just a pair of swimming trunks. he was met by huge crowds and a brass band as he approached lands end yesterday afternoon. since setting off from john o' groats in december, he has raised over £300,000 for charity. iam i am here. i'm overwhelmed with the support. it's absolutely nuts here. it's like the beatles have turned up or something, or wham, you it's like the beatles have turned up orsomething, orwham, you know it's like the beatles have turned up or something, or wham, you know what imean? but or something, or wham, you know what i mean? but i'mjust or something, or wham, you know what i mean? but i'm just running on adrenaline at the moment, and this is... like you say, this is overwhelming. the support that i have had from day one, from... you know what i mean, from families bringing me into their homes and putting me up in hotels, and feeding me, and it's just putting me up in hotels, and feeding me, and it'sjust been one big coming together.

quite a hat. i know, but i guess you need to keep your head warm when you're not wearing many clothes. need to keep your head warm when you're not wearing many clotheslj hope you're not wearing many clothes.” hope those trunks have had a wash. he's got more than one pair. he is joining us on the sofa in a week i imagine still wearing those trunks. it is kind of obligatory. he can't turn up in a suit and tie.” it is kind of obligatory. he can't turn up in a suit and tie. i don't think we would recognise him. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. we saw the rain toppling again in the yorkshire dales yesterday, this latest chapter of the floods. yeah, the weather is still looking pretty unsettled for the next couple of days. for sure we have rain on the way and there is snow to talk about. don't get too excited, the snow that is heading away will be mostly across the hills of northern england and scotland, but it wouldn't roll out a bit of snow in

some of snow in some other places as well. this is the summary we've got, not just the week ahead, but including today, it will be fairly u nsettled, including today, it will be fairly unsettled, it is in the south at the moment, pretty windy as well. then we've got that mostly hill snow on the way, the next 24 hours. this is the way, the next 24 hours. this is the satellite picture, it shows a long weather front stretching right across the pond all the way across to the bahamas. this weather front is going to be upsetting the weather for the next few days. for the time being we have a fair bit of cloud across the country. it is raining, it is very blustery across the south, gale force winds, but the weather is improving through the morning. later on this morning and into the afternoon many parts of the uk, certainly north of london, are looking brighter, certainly by the time you get to the midlands there is some sunshine. apologies for that. this is not the first time this has happened to me. we have got some milder conditions there in the

south. this is the weather front that will cause problems or the low pressure as we head into monday. monday, early hours of the morning, we start to see cold air across the north—east of the country. scotland and the north—east of england. the problem is the area of low pressure thatis problem is the area of low pressure that is here will be riding into the cold airand that is here will be riding into the cold air and when you get rain and cold air and when you get rain and cold air and when you get rain and cold air mixing you get some wintry weather full probably from northern england, the north—east, the southern upland, this is the rush hour we are talking about tomorrow, and in the afternoon across scotland we have snow falling mainly across the hills, but not exclusively. 0n top of that we have gale force winds across the mountains, i'm guessing there will be blizzards and places as well. from yorkshire northwards, maybe lincolnshire, maybe wet snow. for many of us it will be wet snow, some slushy stuff. the real snow settling will be about 200— 300 metres from southern scotland into the north as well. this is where the

wintry weather will be tomorrow. there could be disruption, i wouldn't roll out snow in glasgow and edinburgh temporarily as well. as far as the rest of the week is concerned, it does look as though it will be mostly unsettled. you can see the temperatures still review much above the average for the time of year stop outbreaks of rain on and off. as far as the floods are concerned, more spells of rain on the way. it is going to stay pretty u nsettled the way. it is going to stay pretty unsettled for the time being. back to you. cheers. 20 about in the weather. you've got to update us on the digital timepiece, what was the message flashing through? oh my goodness, this is quite embarrassing, a couple of months ago the watch went off and it obviously went off again. i do always remember to ta ke went off again. i do always remember to take it off during forecast, but i've forgot about it this morning. it is coming off for the next one.

we will speak to you later. cheers. love it. live telly, you can't beat it. now it's time for the film review. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode, as ever. hello, mark, what have you been watching? interesting week. we have greed — the devil is in the retail. littlejoe — a sci—fi thriller, or is it? is it all in the mind? and like a boss, a comedy that needs to be a lot funnier than it actually is. the devil is in the retail. good tagline. it's a great tagline. so steve coogan stars as richard ‘greedy‘ mccready who is kind of a loathsome british retail mogul

who has recently been hauled up in front of a bunch of mps to account for himself. this is a fictional tale. fictional, yes. but it will obviously it will ring certain bells for newsletters. he sunning himself on a greek island, building a coliseum at which he is going to lord over all his toga—clad friends at a party which is meant to be some kind of huge roman spectacular, including wild animals. however, people are dropping out left, right, and centre, so they're having to turn to not real celebrities, but look—alikes. here's a clip. hi, richard. simon cowell, he's very good. who are you? adele. of course you are. who's the guy with the bandanna? he's rod stewart. looks like rod stewart's bitter older brother?

who's she? kylie. kylie minogue?! she will have to wear a name badge. is that george michael? he's amazing. apparently he can sing as well. george michael is bleep dead. i think the agencyjust sent anyone they had on the books. they should have put the ghost of george michael. you loved all the way through that. —— laughed. lots of very cheesy jokes, but they did make me laugh. so steve coogan, who i'm a big fan of, directed by michael winterbottom. they have worked together before and done some very interesting films. 0n the one hand, this revels in the grotesquerie of the millionaire life. 0n the other hand, it's aiming at a wider target, which is how is it that all this wealth is produced? that's very important for his part of the story. 0riginally, i think, sacha baron cohen was earmarked to play the central character,

and you can imagine him playing it a lot more grotesquely. the thing i like about steve coogan's portrayal is that he's very good at playing characters who are essentially utterly kind of creepy and unlovable, but playing them in a way which actually makes their company bearable for the course of the movie. so for me, i think steve coogan was pretty good. i think sometimes there's a disparity between the very broad—strokes comedy of the film itself and the attempt to deal with more serious subject matter, such as refugees, such as worker exploitation. i was wondering how that would work, because you could say lots of very serious things about the fashion industry, but putting the two together is quite a challenge. but crucially, michael winterbottom, that's the kind of thing he does. because he is interested in those issues, and it wouldn't be a film

without them, so i don't think they mesh together perfectly. you wouldn't want the comedy without them, because it would kind of take the heart out of the film. so i enjoyed it while i was watching it. i don't think it's particularly savagely insightful film, but it's a fun watch — it does have something serious at its heart. whether or not it completely manages to make that more dramatic, that's still up for debate, although there is a very interesting intertwining of the modern retail story with kind of archetypal greek myth, which does tie together well as the drama moves on. i enjoyed it, i think more than some critics did. ok. little joe. i don't even know how to begin to describe this, but it is curious and fascinating — goodness. so, i loved it. this is a brilliantly low—key psychological thriller, and it is about a plant that has been invented by emily beecham, designed to make the owner happy. it produces oxytocin in the owner. the mother hormone. you will love this plant like you will love your own child. but the question is, is the plant infecting people around it? is it changing them to its own ends? carrie fox thinks her dog is no longer her dog, which is obviously very body snatchers. my dog is no longer my dog. emily beecham's character thinks

that possibly her son is a stranger to her. but of course he is. he's at a certain age he's changing, he's becoming a different person. what i loved about it was there is a way of reading this film which is pretty much all in the mind. 0ur central character is torn between home life and work and there's a suggestion by her psychotherapist, that everything she's feeling is projecting guilt because they've even called the plant littlejoe, named after her. she says let's call it littlejoe. i've seen it a couple of times now. each time i saw it, it looks different. the second time, i thought it was another. it's chilling and icy and beautifully designed. what did you think? visually, i loved it. all those wide shots, some of it here, of the plants, the banks of the plants cultivated, i thought it was brilliant. i went into it quite nervous. it's well documented that

i'm a bit of a chicken. were you going in thinking it was like a horror—inflicted thing? i thought there would be a little bit of horror. i was a little nervous, but i wouldn't describe it as horror. and it gets, it sort of burrows into your brain and you're not sure what's going on. but in a good way. it's a chiller. i really, really like it. you genuinely come out of it questioning. was something happening, wasn't it happening, was it all in my mind? i think it's really well played. i think the cast did great. every use of green and yellow and red is all very particularly put together. i thought it was great. i think it is a bit of a hard sell. i think it's not for everybody, but i thought it was really terrific. yes, i would agree with that. i have not seen today's third choice. no. i wouldn't argue that you should rush to see it. this is a comedy. with tiffany haddish and rose byrne. it's about lifelong friends who have started a cosmetic company.

kind of running it as a cottage industry. the setup is that, essentially, in comes this beauty mogul who says i am going to invest in a company because i thinks the company is fabulous. but she has to sign a contract saying she gets control of the company if they fall out. that's the setup. here's a clip. i need you to be fierce to yourself so you can inspire the ugly people to buy themselves into gorgeousness! listen to the word — fierced. what is it saying to you? i hear fear, then "st". i hear that too. fierced! now whisper it. feel it inside you — fierced! jarring, unexpected, exhilarating. that's fierced. can you be fierced?

yes, yes, we can certainly try. i don't want her as my boss. but what a great performance though. that's salma hayek doing the kind of over the top thing. three really great performances, and the setup is really interesting, so why is it that the laughs stop about ten minutes in? this is a perfect example of the script being the problem. the script is nothing like as inventive or clever or intimate or intriguing or interesting as it could be. you've essentially got the first act, which is here's the setup, they're friends, she kind of wants to split them apart, because that's what she does. and then you think — this is going where, and that got all cranked up. and it's a real shame because i did think, for the first five or ten minutes, 0k, yup, it's going somewhere. and then, oh, no, it's just that other film. it's a real shame because there are few things more disheartening than watching really great screen talent get wasted. i think this is a perfect example of that. it's a shame.

very disappointing. and best out therefore is still... it's still... this is the last week i'm going to say this. parasite is still in cinemas, it is still drawing audiences, and again, how brilliant that a foreign—language film won the oscar for best picture. i know that some high—ranking politicians think that's a bad thing, that we should all be watching gone with the wind. but actually, some of us are watching parasite — a challenging, strange movie by bong joon—ho. i can't wait to see it again, i can't wait to see the black and white version. this to me is what cinema is about. i just loved the movie. you liked it. i liked it a lot. it's hugely intelligent, sometimes unexpectedly funny. every time i laugh, i thought i didn't think i would be laughing at all in this film, and it takes you through a lot of different emotions. and i like that in a film.

the genius is sometimes you're laughing and recoiling at the same time because it is, and funny enough, i think this is a connection to littlejoe, because i think it has a similar quality to it. that you don't know whether to laugh or be creeped out by certain things. i love films in which there is an ambiguity at the heart of it, which is what i love about parasite and what i love about littlejoe as well. yes, you are just not quite sure. but yes, it's terrific. what's on dvd this week? honeyland, about a subject i know very little about — it's wild bee—keeping. it begins as a straightforward documentary as bee—keeping, but then it becomes so much else. it becomes is a story of mothers and daughters and neighbours and changing worlds and how a way of life is starting to disappear. it does all of this in a way that's almost imperceptible, that you almost don't notice it's shifting from one tone to the other. and again, this is one of these films that i knew nothing about going in other than the title,

and one of the greatjoys of cinema is it can take you somewhere where you absolutely didn't expect, and that's what honeyland did for me. it's hard going in places, i won't live. it is. there are elements i loved about it. i love the big sweeping planes and some of it was really tough. i don't think that is a bad thing, exactly. no, absolutely. challenging cinema is what makes cinema important, although some people just want gone with the wind. excellent. obviously you will be doing that this week. yes. see you next time. thanks very much for being with us. enjoy your cinema going, whatever you choose to see. see you soon, bye—bye.

hello, this is breakfast, with sally nugent and chris mason. good morning. here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: tyson fury‘s stunning world heavyweight title win. we will get details from john in just a moment. but first, here is the rest of the day's news: italy is experiencing europe's largest outbreak of coronavirus, with 79 cases and two deaths. people will no longer be able to come and go from ten communities in the north of the country. 32 british and irish cruise

passengers have spent their first night in quarantine in the uk after arriving back from japan yesterday. the left—wing candidate bernie sanders appears to have secured a resounding win in the latest stage of the democrats' contest to choose a candidate to take on donald trump. he is thought to have been backed by more than 40% of voters across the state of nevada. the us presidential election takes place in november. it is 75 days until the 75th anniversary of ve day, and those that served are being asked to come forward to mark the occasion. winston churchill's victory speech will be played across the country to mark the end of the second world war in europe, along with a series of events across the uk in may.

and lots of people were not watching, because it was expensive. and it was 5am in the morning. but to put it into context, so much hype leading into this fight, a much anticipated rematch after their draw 15 months ago, a fight which tyson fury felt he should have one after he was flawed in the final round. he was determined to avenge that and he said he would try and knock him out within two rounds. it was very clear that was his intention, because he boxed really impressively, confidently. from the start. from the very start, absolutely. in the seventh round deontay wilder's team through in the towel because he couldn't live with a barrage of punches coming through in those opening rounds. and physically at that point he looked like he had taken quite a bit of damage. we could see blood coming out of his ear, and that was something his corner were clearly very concerned about. absolutely, he had a cut lip and he was bleeding from the air, so he was obviously in a lot of trouble. that probably prompted the

reason behind them throwing in the towel. he was floored in the third round and the fifth, and it was only the ropes at times keeping him on his feet. so he was really struggling. we knew that wilder had put on a little bit of extra weight to try and add some bulk to that ferocious punching power we know he has, because this is a contest between the more ring wise boxer in tyson fury and the punching power of wilder, so perhaps that extra weight could have played a part. he also said there was some complications, so maybe an injury he was carrying, perhaps. we can speak to our sports editor, dan roan, who was watching it unfold. put into context what we saw playing out there and that performance from tyson fury. well, quite simply, this was the biggest heavyweight title fight for a generation, and tyson fury produced

one of the all—time great performances, which not only i think establishes him in that rare group of true british sporting greats, but i think also completes a quite remarkable personal comeback story, of course, from those previous well—documented issues that he had with drink, drugs and depression. it was a very different style from fury, compared to almost 15 months ago in los angeles, in that epic classic encounter when the two men, he and deontay wilder, met for the first time. on that occasion, wilder was out boxed by his opponent, but fury was more cautious. he was not down twice, widely regarded as being unlucky to get only a draw from that encounter —— fury. that made this arguably the most eagerly anticipated rematch for more than 20 years. fury vowed to be more than 20 years. fury vowed to be more aggressive, to take the initiative from the off, and he lived up to his promise. he knocked his men down in the third. he never

really looked in doubt from the first round, he knocked deontay wilder down in the third. wilder tripped a couple of times, hit the ca nvas tripped a couple of times, hit the canvas again. in the fifth he was knocked down a second time, saved by the bell on a couple of occasions, and in the seventh, even though fury had been docked a point, he made his dominance count and while the's corner threw in the towel. it has been a glittering career up to this point, wilder one of the most feared punches in boxing history, but fury was simply too good. a masterclass when it mattered more than ever. he is the new wbc champion, and what this does is there is a possibility ofa third, this does is there is a possibility of a third, trilogy fight between the pair, or perhaps this will be a significant step towards what would bea significant step towards what would be a mega fight with fellow brit anthonyjoshua, who be a mega fight with fellow brit anthony joshua, who holds be a mega fight with fellow brit anthonyjoshua, who holds the other belts in the heavyweight division. but this was a rematch and a victory for the ages. many thanks indeed for

that, and worth pointing out as well that, and worth pointing out as well that eddie hearn, anthonyjoshua's promoter, has said he wants to see that fight happen with tyson fury before the end of the year. they are already talking about a potential big—money spinning bout, that would certainly be, wouldn't it? welsh hopes of defending their six nations title all but over as france remain on course for a first grand slam in ten years after winning in cardiff for the first time since 2010 in the six nations. wales were on the back foot early on in the game. leigh halfpenny spilled the ball, which let france in to score opening try. wales reponded after the break through dillon lewis. but there was another welsh mistake as a nick tompkins pass was intercepted by man of the match romain ntamack, who had a clear run to the line to score. wales got one more through dan biggar, but it wasn't enough. france win 27—23 scotland had their first win of this year's tournament. they scored three tries

against a poor italy side in rome. captain stuart hogg scored the first from his own half. chris harris and adam hastings went over the line to seal the 17—0 win. there is only one six nations game today, but it's a big one, as england face ireland at twickenham. as father and son go head—to—head, england captain 0wen farrell looking to end the grand slam hopes of his father, andy, the ireland head coach. it will be the first time the pair have been in opposition to each other. it's quite a unique feeling, isn't it? if you look at the tree of the farrell family, and what an influence they have had in wigan rugby league, and now in rugby, it's a unique family. so their ability to be professional and play for their team, and not get involved in that other stuff, is probably unique.

and we will be speaking to andy farrell's former coach later, which would be really interesting. and he knows the family really well, so it will be interesting to get his take on how that dynamic will be between father and son, leading into that big match today. the younger got the better of the older in the premier league, frank lampard coming out on top against old mentorjose mourinho as chelsea beat tottenham at stamford bridge. goals from 0livier giroud and marcus alonso sealed a 2—1win. but the biggest talking point came when spurs midfielder giovani lo celso failed to receive a red card for this tackle on chelsea captain cesar azpilicueta. var checked it and then admitted they had made a mistake and it should've been a red. i can't believe the excuse they used was it was the only place he could have put his foot. and the referee seeing it in real time, which is why

they referred to var. frank lampard, though, as you can imagine, not happy with var and its inconsistencies. this one didn't need to go to the monitor. you needed to be decided that it was a red card. it was clear. it is tackle that seriously endangers azpilicueta. everyone that knows football can see that straightaway. it's not good enough, is not good enough, and i'm disappointed because we have had two in the week. it didn't affect the game today. it certainly would have affected the game on monday. and i am disappointed, because i am an advocate of the var, i wanted to work, i wanted to get those sorts of decisions right, because that is what we all want, and it is so clear that that was a red card incident. there's a lot of question marks for us. that is a view of a lot of managers, they wanted to work, but it is so inconsistent. and it had a particularly bad day yesterday. it wouldn't get picked again next week, was the quote i saw. loads of insta nces was the quote i saw. loads of instances in the burnley match as well. it keeps being talked about, not for the right reasons. human

error is still a part of the whole thing, isn't it? i think that is what fans want to see, let the referee make that decision, even if they go and look at the monitor, not they go and look at the monitor, not the decision going elsewhere. human error in front of you is easier to accept that human error remotely. john, thank you. it looks like it's been a good night for bernie sanders in the race to challenge donald trump in november's us election. democrats in nevada have been choosing who is their favourite candidate. do you not come out in a cold sweat when we say the word election?” do you not come out in a cold sweat when we say the word election? i do, then i get excited a few minutes later. let's talk to julia manchester, who is a political reporter for the online newspaper the hill in washington, dc. nice to see you. talk us through what has happened in this latest stage of the contest, and explain it a little bit. because for those of us a little bit. because for those of us this side of the atlantic it can bea us this side of the atlantic it can be a bit confusing picking our way through the early stages of these contests. absolutely. well, if you just look at what happened in the

first state of iowa, which voted in february, it is a bit confusing for us as february, it is a bit confusing for us as well. we were going into nevada, which is the second caucus state, with some trepidation, because there were very botched results going back to iowa in terms of reporting those results. we didn't really know who the clear winner was until a couple of weeks after that caucus. so going into nevada, there was some nervousness. however, everything last night in nevada went very smoothly. it was bernie sanders who really took the night, took the early lead, and we have seen kind of this battle for second place in the state between some of the moderates, pete buttigieg and joe biden, joe biden declaring victory. pete buttigieg really slamming bernie sanders, as well as a number of other establishment democrats. so, you know, this is a moment of reckoning, i would say, for the democratic party here in the united states, because bernie sanders represents such a radical new part of this

party, and there are democrats who aren't entirely sure that sanders could beat trump. can we say then, at this stage, that bernie sanders is the favourite to be the democratic candidate? at this stage, in this very moment, yes. he has the lead in the delegate count that will eventually determine who gets that nomination, when we go to the convention in milwaukee this summer, injuly. however, convention in milwaukee this summer, in july. however, we convention in milwaukee this summer, injuly. however, we do have the south carolina primary coming up. we know thatjoe biden, the former vice president, has put quite a few of his eggs into that south carolina basket, really relying on the african—american community in south carolina to put him over the top. he is very popular with african—americans in general. so that could help him as well stop we also have the super tuesday, where 14 states plus a territory come out and vote in their respective primary ts, and vote in their respective primary ‘s, and that is the first time we will see former new york city mayor

michael bloomberg jump into this race and really compete. so right now, in this moment, bernie sanders is the favourite. however, anything could happen between now and july, at the nominating convention. and tell us about president trump's reaction to what has been happening in nevada. he loves his nicknames, have a crazy bernie and many mike, and so on. and bernie sanders beating out the moderates, his campaign put out a statement saying that big government socialism one the night, and i think republicans at this moment i happy with bernie sanders really shoring up all these victories in these early states, because they think that will be easier to win. and that makes democrats nervous because democrats think there needs to be a more moderate candidate at the top of the democratic ticket to really go toe to toe with trump. however, you never know. i mean, bernie sanders is the leader of a huge populist

move, very much like our president trump was in 2016. you are actually seeing a lot of analysts here in the united states compare bernie sanders right now to president trump in 2016, when the republican establishment was very sceptical of him. interesting. really nice to talk to you. we appreciate it. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. i believe there is some snow somewhere in the forecast. you are absolutely right. nothing desperately widespread, most of us across the country will not be getting the snow. it is northern england and scotland who could see some of the next 24 hours stop this is the headline for the week ahead. it will basically be pretty u nsettled, it will basically be pretty unsettled, apart from any snow we also have more wind and rain on the way as well. we don't need either of those but it is heading our way. there is a trail of cloud across the atla ntic there is a trail of cloud across the

atlantic stretching all the way towards the tropics there and within this band of cloud we will see low pressure developing, intensifying, and bringing us some rough weather over the coming days. this is what we've got right now. it is soggy out there. that weather system moves away, through the course of today we are between weather systems. the weather is pretty grotty out there right now but it will be improving. watch how this cloud and rain sort of ship towards the continent and you can see more green land there that means birmingham, liverpool, belfast, or getting some sunshine. a little on the breezy side. on the south from plymouth, southampton to london, it will stay cloudy, damp, and mild. not mild tonight in the north. you can see the blue colours there. that is a frost developing, maybe in city centres not quite so frosty but certainly of town. that means with a weather system pushing off the atlantic some of this rain

is going to form as snow. certainly from yorkshire, across the hills of scotla nd from yorkshire, across the hills of scotland through the morning and afternoon, there could be a bit of wet snow in glasgow and edinburgh as well on top of that, it will be a low pressure, stronger winds, inevitably across the scottish hills and mountains be blizzards as well. there is some snow heading away for tomorrow morning's rush hourfrom northern england northwards. most of it is across the hills, around 200— 3oo it is across the hills, around 200— 300 metres, but it would not be surprised if some towns and cities get wet snow as well temporarily before it turns to rain. nothing too dramatic there is wintry weather on the way. then tomorrow afternoon and evening i think the weather should start to improve. a quick 0utlook for the next few days for some of our major centres. it is still staying on relatively the mild side, temperatures around 9— 11 degrees. the weather icons changed from day to day for many of the major cities,

thatis to day for many of the major cities, that is what we cool unsettled weather. there is more rain on the way, rain that we do not want. but it is still winter after all. actually, it is not long until meteorological spring, which starts on the first of march. good news for you there. you say meteorological spring, will it feel like spring? i'm not going to go there. itjust means in our books it will be spring. that's where it ends. great to see you. thank you. you spotted that caveat! this week click has been finding out how to make drinking water from thin air, and what artificial intelligence could mean for the future of fashion. let's take a look.

over the next few decades, the stress on that most essential of resources, water, is likely to become one of the biggest issues that many people around the world will face. already, 2 billion don't have access to clean drinking water. and for half of them, it would take at least 30 minutes to reach any. so nick kwek has been finding out how that safe water could be created out of thin air, literally. access to clean water is a human right, yet over half a billion people die each year from drinking contaminated water. according to the world health organization, in only five years' time, half of us will live in a water—stressed area. thirsty for answers? i've come to south yorkshire to see a start—up with a novel solution. hogen systems is harvesting waterfrom thin air. water is extracted from the bottom of the evaporator, collected

in the tray and pumped out for use for drinking. that's water in the tray there? that's water in the tray there, yes. that's come from thin air? that's come from thin air. ok, it's a giant dehumidifier, but the game changer here is the artificially intelligent device's adaptability. sensors all over the process that will detect, what is the real temperature, what is the real pressure, the real humidity, the control system will further refine its control to make that the best way to operate. keeping costs down is crucial, so using the least amount of energy possible is key. so the way this works is, air comes down through here, gets sucked in through the evaporator which pulls moisture out of the air. the water then drips down into this water tray and the byproduct, which is cold air, gets sucked through there which could be used for air—conditioning in the summer. and another byproduct is heat generated through the condenser, which could be used to heat homes in the winter or wherever it may be used.

brill, shall we give it a taste? well, why not? there we are, water from thin air. it does have essence of machine about it. it may do. it does have a somewhat metallic... i mean, if i were to lick that machine, i kind of feel like that's what that tastes like. yum, yum. but i'm assured after few gallons circulate in the machine, it tastes much better and makes a banging brew. as well as large—scale units, hogen has also developed a more mobile version targeted for the military. so the more compact version has actually got two systems built in for redundancy, so if one goes there is a backup option. we know of some customers in the middle east who are shipping drinking water by helicopter. the cost of shipping drinking water by helicopter is $35 per litre.

but derek's units of course come with a pricetag. $5,000 up to $100,000, depending on the size and type of machine. they can usually recoup it within two years. for over 30 years, london fashion week has brought the latest trends and streetwear and couture to the capital. whether spring or fall collections, it follows the same format. catwalk shows from designers popping up all over the city. but in the near future, the catwalk could look completely different. the idea of gathering together to look at seasonal trends could be obsolete. like many other industries, artificial intelligence is shaping the future of fashion. the designs, models and even the location of fashion week could one day be created by a computer programme.

it is possible to generate these kind of captions with al algorithm. a new course at the london college of fashion is looking in detail detail at these issues, preparing future designers and merchandisers with the tools to work on this new world, influencing everything from pattern cutting to design. so if you know this type of algorithm, you canjust mine all over your database. these images were dreamt up by an algorithm fed by tens of thousands of photos. so this is a computer that is designing these dresses? yeah, so this is a generative adversarial network that has been fed many thousands of images so it begins to learn what a dress looks like. it's incredible. and then design its own. so every single one of these is computer—generated. slightly terrifying. and similarly, this is taking thousands of catwalk images from men's fashion week and beginning to understand what catwalk looks like, what a model looks like, what the clothes they are wearing looks like, and generating its own catwalk images.

are these real models? these are computer—generated. oh, wow. so this person doesn't exist? no. it begins to question what we even think a catwalk show could be. could we get to the point in the future where a computer—generated catwalk becomes as popular or as interesting as a physical catwalk? what do you think? it's not beyond the realms of impossibility. indeed, the ideas and projects the students are working on would once have seemed impossible, but they are certain the whole industry will soon change and having a background in al will be essential to their success. in all the industries right now, it's really important to be able to cross—collaborate, to be interdisciplinary and so i think this is really important to have a knowledge of everything that is coming up and how we can use that in fashion.

so with al, we will have much more ways and options. like, instead of, i don't know, sketching 10 ideas, we could have thousands of them, you canjust select quickly what we find beneficial for our project. but others worry about losing originality in this process. i think there's a danger of it stripping out creativity, because there's always that argument that designers create something from their brain, there's newness that's not been done before but ai looks at everything that's been done before and creates something new so i think there's this, like, paradox. does it mean that we will end up repeating the same things over and over, or does it mean we will be given new ways to create? in fact, the ai may end up being more creative than humans because it can process so many more images than we are capable of seeing.

the course is also preparing students for job losses in their industry to artificial intelligence, especially in areas like pattern cutting and other repetitive work. this really is something we can't deny. it is coming and we need to be prepared for it. maybe these people can be educated in some sort of position where they will be using this al to do this job, but if it is something repetitive, if it can be automatised, it will be automised. the next experiment will be feeding this algorithm photos from architecture as well as the clothing, to see what fashion designs it comes up with. an exciting time for those able to adapt, but with implications for workers around the world, perhaps a need to think quickly about the direction of this important industry. people love playing video games, but making them

is a different matter. the art of creation used to require quite a few skills, not least the ability to code. but over the past few years, content creation tools have become a lot easier for those who are creatively minded to be able to make their own games. guildford—based developer media molecule enjoyed huge success with its user—generated little big planet games. the titles allowed the player to create their own mini games and levels. it's an idea we have seen revisited most recently with nintendo with mario maker 2. for the past few years, media molecule has been working on something which it hopes could take that user—generated effort up a level. marc cieslak‘s been finding out more. you can make a lot of different stuff in dreams. stuff like this, and this.

and even this. all that stuff was made using the same software. it's an ambitious idea, give everybody the tools to make a videogame or a film or even a 3d sculpture, all made using a games console. dreams is a playstation game which allows anyone to create, whether it's a game or a movie. i think of it as the world's interactive sketchbook. folks at home have been able to tinker with a version of dreams for quite some time, so the online catalogue of content created using the kit is already packed with stuff made by the public. jamie breeze was one of those early access content creators. his work impressed the team at media molecule so much, they gave him a job. i pinch myself almost daily, it's the most incredible thing ever. because i used to teach, which is a lot of hard work. and then coming into here, it feels like i can do my hobby for a living now.

it is the best thing ever, i love it so much. but dreams' main event is making stuff, and could these tools ultimately end up being a source of inspiration for a new generation of games designers, filmmakers and artists? have you thought about collaborating with educational establishments? with schools, universities, game design courses? yeah, education and outreach to different groups is huge because i think dreams is a tool for educating people about storytelling, game making, programming. it's brilliant, i have a little story. i saw a kid at a show playing dreams and his mother said to me, "i don't really understand what he is doing," and i said, well, he's basically doing a—level electronics, then and there on the screen. he was a young kid and i said, seriously, don't worry about it. this is a great mechanism. if he can do that in dreams now, he will sail through whatever he wants to do later. but i was saying that to her and at the same time, a penny dropped in my head, that yeah, this is teaching stuff, kids don't even know they are learning, they are just enjoying it and that is wonderful.

well, that's it for the short version of the show. as ever the full—length version can be found on bbc iplayer. throughout the week you can keep track of what the team are up to on youtube, instagram, facebook, and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with sally nugent and chris mason. 0ur headlines today: tyson fury is crowned world heavyweight champion after beating deontay wilder in the seventh round. an incredible night in las vegas, as fury produced the performance of his life. we have all the reaction from the big fight. the largest outbreak in europe. parts of italy are put into lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus after a sharp rise in cases. archive: sardines had nothing on the crowds in trafalgar square and piccadilly. honouring the heroes of the second world war, there will be events across the uk in may to mark the 75th anniversary of ve day.

and we've got a little bit of sunshine in the forecast today, but also some snow, and the details on that coming up in the forecast. it's sunday 23 february. our top story: tyson fury has won one of the most eagerly anticipated world heavyweight title fights in years after beating deontay wilder in las vegas. fury won the fight after wilder's corner threw in the towel in the seventh round. we can speak now to our sports reporter ade adedoyin in las vegas. from the start, this was a different level from fury, wasn't it? from the start, this was a different levelfrom fury, wasn't it? stunning performance. we're still trying to catch our breath back after what was one of the most performances by a british doctor in an american ring. you mightjust british doctor in an american ring. you might just be british doctor in an american ring. you mightjust be able to hear tyson fury behind me on stage at the

moment, addressing the assembled media. he said i did what i came to do. earlier this week i interviewed him and he told me that i am going to bully the bully. a lot of people felt that tyson fury‘s best chance with his technical ability. nobody really expected him to go in there a knockout deontay wilder, a man who has been described as one of the ha rd est has been described as one of the hardest punching heavyweights of all time. he did exacting what he said he was going to do, he put him down on the third, he put him down on the fifth, and his corner in the seventh round threw in the towel. deontay wilder will not be attending the press co nfe re nce . wilder will not be attending the press conference. we are being told he has gone to hospital as a precaution. his promoter has said there is a rematch clause, they have 3o there is a rematch clause, they have 30 days to exercise it and they indicated strongly that they will do that, that is why they put it there in the first place. but what a stunning performance from tyson fury and what a story when you consider all the personal problems he had to ove rco m e all the personal problems he had to overcome in the last four years with drinks, alcohol and depression. he showed by that performance today that he is a fighter notjust outside the ring but inside the ring as well. we will let you go to that press co nfe re nce as well. we will let you go to that press conference that is going on just behind you. all of this

happening injust just behind you. all of this happening in just the last couple of hours, and what a fight, because as we we re hours, and what a fight, because as we were hearing there, from the very start, you are thinking this is lively. this is it, and tyson fury promised to knock him out in the early rounds and everyone thought this would be difficult against a quy this would be difficult against a guy who has that destructive punching power. but he really set about him as though that was absolutely his intention. and when you consider that wilder was on the ca nvas you consider that wilder was on the canvas in the third and fifth rounds, it was only the ropes at times which were keeping him up, he looked dead on his feet at times. and i think that was just the way that tyson fury was dictating the fight, he was controlling the tempo, he was always the aggressor, he was a lwa ys he was always the aggressor, he was always moving forward, and deontay wilder had no answers. he was bleeding from his ear, he looked really u nco mforta ble. bleeding from his ear, he looked really uncomfortable. and you felt that if he didn't end on the seventh round, it was certainly going to end not long after. it didn't appear that it was going to go the distance, as many had predicted, as it did certainly in their first fight. and from wilder's perspective, bleeding from the air

isa perspective, bleeding from the air is a bad sign. it is a bad sign, and thatis is a bad sign. it is a bad sign, and that is why his team arguably through in the towel, he was taking a barrage of punches in the seventh and for his own safety felt, much to the disappointment of wilder himself, he said he would have liked himself, he said he would have together distance if he could, and you have to protect the fighters and individuals. i think as we were saying, trying to put it in some kind of context, when tyson fury became world heavyweight champion for the first time in 2015, if you think about the difficulties he had, the drink, drugs, depression, which he says he still suffers from now, to kind of go through all of that, the huge weight loss he had to undertake as well, to come through that and put a performance like this, i think it underlines his brilliance as a fighter, if perhaps you might not wholly respect some of the view that he has as an individual. cheers, appreciate it. let's take a look at a couple of tweets that have come

in since fury‘s victory. all eyes will now turn to the fight to beat all others — a bout between tyson fury and anthonyjoshua to find the undisputed world heavyweight champion. joshua's promoter, eddie hearne has tweeted... so says frank bruno. a boss like performance, that is for sure. part of italy are in lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus. the country has seen the largest outbreak in europe, with 79 cases and two deaths. meanwhile, 32 british and irish cruise passengers have spent their first night in quarantine in the uk after arriving back

from japan yesterday. sean dilley reports. italy has seen more confirmed cases of coronavirus than any other country in europe. in response, they have postponed several sporting fixtures, including inter milan's game against sampdoria. a number of towns in the north of the country have been placed on lockdown. erica lives in the town of codogno, in the lombardy region. translation: we're trying to remain calm, because in those situations, it's easy to panic. we go buy food supplies, because we don't know if the supermarkets will stay open. we hope everything will be fine. this is where 30 british and two irish citizens are waking up this morning, quarantined for the next two weeks after their evacuation from the diamond princess cruise ship. inside this nursing accommodation

block in arrowe park hospital, clinicians have previously treated coronavirus patients who have travelled from china. the group of people is slightly different. 0bviously they've come from a cruise ship rather than from their own homes over in china. but we're working exactly the same as we did before, with the healthcare professionals, public health england, to make sure that they are safe and well managed and comfortable whilst they're with us. meanwhile, around 150 patients who were evacuated from china two weeks ago will be allowed to leave this training centre in milton keynes today after finishing their quarantine. a specialist team of experts from the world health organization have landed in wuhan, in china. they say their mission is to stop the spread of the disease, at a time when the number of deaths and diagnoses is on the rise. the left—wing candidate bernie sanders appears to have won a resounding victory in the latest stage of the democrats' search for a candidate to take on donald trump in november's us election. he won around 40% of the vote

in nevada, as sophie long reports. nevada's caucuses were the first chance for democratic presidential hopefuls to show their appeal to a diverse group of voters, in a state with a population representative of the country as a whole. the 78—year—old senator from vermont had already left nevada for campaign events in texas when he claimed victory. i think all of you know we won the popular vote in iowa. cheering. we won the new hampshire primary. cheering. and, according to three networks and the ap, we have now won the nevada caucus. cheering. his triumph cements his status as the democrats' national frontrunner, but it will deepen concern among moderates, in a party who feel

the self—described democratic socialist is too liberal to defeat donald trump. former vice presidentjoe biden claimed what his team described as a strong second place, and success substantial enough to trigger a comeback after a poor start to this primary season. so it was a great night for bernie sanders, but there's no stopping to savour the taste of victory. most candidates have already left nevada to campaign in super tuesday states, which will vote in just over a week's time. the next debate is in three days. the gloves came off here in las vegas. the fight will continue in south carolina. soa so a good night for tyson fury and bernie sanders in las vegas, it is all happening in nevada. the generation who helped the war effort are being urged to come forward to help mark the 75th anniversary of ve day. a series of events will be held to mark the end of the second world war

in europe on 8 may, as katharine da costa reports. archive: sardines had nothing on the crowds in trafalgar square and piccadilly. after six long years of fear, blackouts and war, suddenly the national mood shifted to celebration. for children, so many of whom have known nothing else but war, this day must have seemed like an entry into never—never land. 0n 8 may 1945, more than 1 million people in britain took to the streets after winston churchill announced the war in europe was over. hostilities will end officially at one minute after midnight tonight, tuesday 8 may. we may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing. to recreate that iconic moment, 75 years on, an extract from that victory speech will be broadcast in public spaces across the uk. last post sounds.

this was a service of thanksgiving at westminster abbey on the 70th anniversary. once again, tributes will be paid to the heroes of the second world war, as we remember the sacrifices they made securing peace across the continent. as a way of saying thank you, the royal british legion is holding a ballot offering vip treatment for 750 veterans, descendents, evacuees, and those who served on the home front. it will include a procession down the mall, aerial displays from vintage aircraft, as well as a fly—past by the red arrows. throughout the bank holiday weekend, part of st james's park will be turned into victory park, with themed events based on life in britain during the second world war. away from london, there will be a service of remembrance and parade in cardiff, a veterans' parade and concert in edinburgh,

and hundreds of street parties in towns and villages across the country. # boogie woogie bugle boy. it will certainly have a party atmosphere. not only has the bank holiday been moved to coincide with the 75th anniversary, pubs will be staying open until 1:00am over the weekend, all helping to recreate that moment 75 years ago when the nation stopped to celebrate victory in europe. let's speak to the historian helen fry. thank you for coming in for us. it is going to be an extraordinary weekend, isn't it? it really is. is going to be an extraordinary weekend, isn't it? it really ism is, of commemorations but also celebration. we must not forgetjust how difficult the war was, and that victory was far from secure, even as late, historians realise, as

february 1945, we still could have lost the war. germany had to go to absolute defeats. they could be no fudging of the surrender. it had to be unconditional to make sure that europe lived in peace afterwards. we talk about ve day, don't we, and you have an idea of what ve day and the events that led up to it... what actually happened on the day? so the day before was the sort of military surrender, and then on ve day itself, of course, the guns fell silent, technically. and of course, the huge relief up and down the country and across europe, and scenes of, as we have seen this morning, ofjubilation scenes of, as we have seen this morning, of jubilation on scenes of, as we have seen this morning, ofjubilation on the streets of london. people crowding into the area in front of buckingham palace and climbing up the statues, and just sheer relief. it had been a very difficult war, six years of hardship for the whole nation. the intriguing thing about the commemorations this time round is, well, i guess the generational shift. fewer and fewer people who

witnessed and experienced these moments that we are seeing on screen now, but also, crucially, a whole new generation who won't have had, perhaps, those chats with their grandparents about their wartime experiences, but where commemorations like this could really bring it alive to them in terms of what a significant moment in british history it was. yes, and i think we tend to focus on other aspects of the campaign, and winning the war, but in terms of ve day, absolutely. to understand what was really at stake, that the war could have rumbled on, you know, democracy, freedom was at stake, and the victory was won. the war was won, but we still obviously had to win the peace. they still had to be a lot of work to reconstruct europe afterwards. but to encourage the next generation to discuss with surviving grandparents about what was your war like resnickjust seeing images there of sir winston churchill, of that famous, famous speech. you know, talk to us a little bit about how important his

words were. crucially, because he is not focusing on himself as a sort of mighty military leader, but it is about victory for the people. and you know, it is so characteristic of him. we think of him as a belligerent and tough wartime leader, but in fact he shaped it for britain, i think, leader, but in fact he shaped it for britain, ithink, and ijust wonder how we would have fared if he hadn't been prime minister at the time. but to actually say, look, this victory does belong to the people, and i think the ve day celebrations this year will actually belong to the people again, you know, to kind of get to the heart of what it really means. in the context of that particular year, 75 years ago, of course there was a gap then between ve day and vj day, a couple of months later, in the august, is that right? yes, so it wasn't until the dropping of the bomb on hiroshima and nagasaki in august 1945 that the war in the far east finally came to an end. and so this could have

rumbled on for a very long time, could have been a very different outcome. also, of course, we mustn't forget that with nazi germany, if that had rumbled on, they could have won the tech war, they could have rumbled on, and it could have been a very different situation. a lot of work to be done, even after the summer, even after vj day, work to be done, even after the summer, even aftervj day, in reconstructing europe and world peace. we can expect to see prominent members of the royal family mark this event in 75 days' time. what we re this event in 75 days' time. what were they doing? we have the queen, what was she doing on ve day? oh, she is marvellous. a real kind of loyal to this country and she's you know, contributed so much, hasn't she? but on ve day, i don't know if you was aware, she she? but on ve day, i don't know if you was aware, she and her sister, princess margaret, she was then princess margaret, she was then princess elizabeth, of course, they then sneaked into the crowds anonymously tojoin then sneaked into the crowds anonymously to join in with the

celebrations. i didn't know that. that would be possible now with instagram and twitter.” that would be possible now with instagram and twitter. i like the sensor is there with people. because later she was queen, but her father, george vi, those memorable scenes on the balcony with winston churchill on one of those rare occasions when a prime minister has been on the balcony of buckingham palace for those commemorations. ahead of ve day in may, we would like to hear your stories and memories of world war ii. family experiences. you can e—mail us at bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk, or get in touch with us on social media. a fascinating chat. you very much. huge sandstorms have caused major delays to flights in and out of the canary islands. a storm carrying clouds of red sand from the sahara covered the region in a haze of orange. alljourneys in and out of gran canaria were grounded on saturday night, while flights leaving tenerife were also suspended. the authorities in lanzarote have cancelled all outdoor events

in the capital city, including some carnival celebrations. if you had treated yourself to a flight if you had treated yourself to a flight to the canary islands, that is not what you want to see. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. what's happening there? look at that. it does happen relatively frequently. this one is one of the worst they have had in around ten yea rs or worst they have had in around ten years or so. worst they have had in around ten years or so. here is a satellite which are, a nasa satellite picture showing this, it's a dust storm really, rather than sandstorm, showing this, it's a dust storm really, ratherthan sandstorm, it showing this, it's a dust storm really, rather than sandstorm, it is the fine particles of dust from sa nta the fine particles of dust from santa that get whipped up into the airand then santa that get whipped up into the air and then they get carried by this strong south—westerly wind —— sand. you can see it. most of that

plume of dust has been affecting the area. at lasts sometimes half a day. it is very windy. 0n area. at lasts sometimes half a day. it is very windy. on some of these coasts winds are blowing at 50 mph. picture where you can see the thick dust. anyway, back home, we are not dealing with anything like that. the weather can be quite troublesome for some of us. rather than orange out we could see light out conditions in some parts of the country over the next 24 hours. as early as tonight. and into tomorrow morning. what we haveis and into tomorrow morning. what we have is a daisy chain of cloud stretching right across the atlantic, all the way to the subtropics. in this area of cloud you can see low pressure spinning up and heading in our direction, upsetting the weather. pretty damp and grotty out there. a windy night thanks to the slow. later today we are between weather systems, this is the next one heading away for later tonight and into tomorrow. for the time being it is still pretty damp

out there, it has been windy across the south, gale force, but notice how the weather system moves away towards the east and the skies clear. for many of us, certainly from the midlands northwards today, it is actually looking absolutely fine. sunshine in the forecast for norwich, liverpool, belfast, glasgow, all the way to stornaway. the south of the country, a different story, mild, cloudy, and damp. today anything but mild across northern areas of the country. a frost developing. that is the blue colour. i mentioned a weather system, the daisy cleverley —— daisychain of cloud. here it is. it is bumping into the cold air and that means there will be some snow falling through the night and into tomorrow morning may be parts of northern ireland, certainly the southern upland is of scotland and the scottish hills were sure and probably the lowlands of scotland we could see snow falling. not talking about vast amounts and a lot of this note will be quite wet, but combine it with strong winds that could be

blizzards across the mountains of scotla nd blizzards across the mountains of scotland and the hills, generally unpleasant conditions. i suspect through the morning rush hour tomorrow across northern parts of the country there could be delays because of the snow that will be falling. it will be in areas where we are probably quite used to the snow anyway during the winter. most of us will not get the snow. tomorrow, the weather eventually im proves tomorrow, the weather eventually improves one see low pressure moves away. the wintry low pressure. then for the week ahead you can see the weather icons chopping and changing. that means that the weather is going to remain unsettled. no real cold weather on the horizon. it's been a very, very mild winter and it does look as though for the rest of march thatis look as though for the rest of march that is too much how it is going to remain. to you two. she is. we will speak to you later on. we get some reaction to tyson fu ry‘s fury‘s when. anthony crolla joins us

now. you have watched the fight at home. first of all, your reaction? and unbelievable performance. one of the great away performances by a british fighter that has been in british fighter that has been in british boxing history. he did what he said he would do but no—one else believed he would get there. they don't mean the manner in which he went about his job, don't mean the manner in which he went about hisjob, and so impressive, and states his cable being the best heavyweight the planet. a striking thing watching it, from the off he was on it. straightaway. there were not a few rounds where you thought what has happened, will this go the distance? straightaway. he put deontay wilder on the back foot. i think know when expect did with the boxing iq of tyson fury to do that to one of the biggest punches that the boxing industry has ever seen. although he said he would do it no—one actually believed he would. he almost sort of bullied him and hurt him. he locked

the punches in there. after everything he has been through, credit where credit is due. he is celebrating with the team. an amazing performance, an amazing win on away soil. it is interesting to see what happens in the future. let's pause about the future for one second. in the last minute or so we have heard what tyson fury has had to say stop he has been giving a press co nfe re nce , to say stop he has been giving a press conference, this is one of the interesting moments after the fight. it was just happening ade adedoyin when we spoke to at seven o'clock. let us see what tyson fury has i dare say. everybody knows i am a master slick box and i canjob and move around the ring for 12 rounds. but that didn't work last time. i got a draw. a draw is a failure to me because all they do is win, win, win. this time i wanted the knockout andl win. this time i wanted the knockout and i thought the only way i could guarantee a win was the knockout. so when me and sugar hill spoke he told

mel when me and sugar hill spoke he told me i would not him out and are believed him what he said. he told me we would knock him out as well. we worked to a gameplan in the gym. we worked to a gameplan in the gym. we put it into practice in the ring. that is a suit and a half. lamy. no shirt. —— blimey. that is a suit and a half. lamy. no shirt. -- blimey. so striking was the pseudo— didn't notice the shirt. use a phrase earlier on about boxing a new “— use a phrase earlier on about boxing a new —— suit. explain that to the layperson. he is very clever in there, setting traps, he knows how to position opponents, the shots, the openings he will set up. and there is no doubt in that. but i think he sort of... it was clever, educated pressure that are used on deontay wilder. everyone thought it would be similar to the first fight where he was on the back foot. he done what he told everyone. every round it felt like in his own head

he was starting the fight again. that's what struck me. just to remain focused he had the corner tea m remain focused he had the corner team telling him, because the power that deontay wilder carried, he couldn't switch for one second, he does that and the fight could end. it was just a discipline performance, a very, very disciplined performance. you were touching on this when we heard from tyson fury himself, about what happens next. there was talk about this potentially being a trilogy, a third fight, but we have seen people saying maybe not, anthonyjoshua. that's the fight everyone was to see, certainly. it would be the biggest fight in british boxing history without a doubt. i'm not sure they could find a venue big enough. laughter. they said they were contracted for a third fight but given how tyson has wa nted third fight but given how tyson has wanted i don't know if there is a demand for it. the demand for an anthonyjoshua demand for it. the demand for an anthony joshua fight will demand for it. the demand for an anthonyjoshua fight will hopefully make it happen and we really hope it is in the uk. my goodness, what a

fight that would be. they agree with you, that the appetite for a third fight now and even deontay wilder's, what they have been saying in the last hour or so, i am not to the appetite is there. such was the convincing nature of of the wind. appetite is there. such was the convincing nature of of the windm would make sense for the third fight now. the first fight there was controversy around that, think tyson has proved he is the better man by some distance what everyone was to see is the anthonyjoshua fight. hopefully we can see that in the summer somewhere hopefully we can see that in the summer somewhere in the uk. anthony, lovely to talk to you. it's very much. this is the overlap between politics and boxing. the conversation instantly turns onto the next thing. what will happen next? the australian wildfires destroyed millions of acres of land and left thousands of people homeless. today, the 25 people who lost their lives in new south wales have been remembered, as our sydney correspondent phil mercer reports.

it was australia's black summer. sincejuly, almost 16 it was australia's black summer. since july, almost 16 million hectares of land was scorched. lives and livelihoods were lost, along with thousands of homes. at a memorial service in sydney, there was a sombre show of solidarity for the victims of australia's bushfires and their families. it the victims of australia's bushfires and theirfamilies. it began the victims of australia's bushfires and their families. it began with a traditional indigenous ceremony. new south wales was at the heart of a crisis that raged for months. 25 people were killed in australia's most populous state. it was scarred by fires that were unprecedented in their scale and intensity. the prime minister, scott morrison, said they

we re minister, scott morrison, said they were days the nation would never forget. a season of our you couldn't breeze and of orange skies that wouldn't rain. an unforgettable trauma absorbed into our very beings. and of unrelenting grief for ourland, our beings. and of unrelenting grief for our land, our wildlife, and beings. and of unrelenting grief for our land, ourwildlife, and our families. children kissing the coffins of their fathers, proudly wearing their helmets. mothers and fathers who should never have had to bury their children. friends who came to ouraid, bury their children. friends who came to our aid, who travelled across the water to support us, but to return home under their nation' flags. heavy rain has brought the crisis to an end. the recovery effo rts crisis to an end. the recovery efforts will be immense, but already there are nervous glances towards there are nervous glances towards the next fire season. the memorial in sydney comes as the federal government begins a royal commission

into the bushfire disaster. the prime minister said the investigation would help australians survive and adapt to hotter, drier, and longer summers. critics, though, say the commission won't be considering the full impact of climate change on the emergency. phil mercer, bbc news, sydney. a real reminder watching that, that even when something is out of the headlines every day the reality and the consequences and the scale of the consequences and the scale of the fires that live on for so many people. so sad to see. let us chat with andrew marr and find out what is coming up on his programme at nine o'clock on bbc 0ne. programme at nine o'clock on bbc one. good morning to you. good morning. you'rejust mentioning climate change in that report and a little a lot of this country is underwater with lighting. i'm going to be talking to george eustice, the environment secretary, about whether the government is doing enough about that and about immigration. i'm

going to be talking to nicola sturgeon, first minister of scotland, about scotland's immigration problems and her plans for independence. i've got this singer david grey and the former exit secretary, david davis, who has stern words by the government over huawei. busy at nine o'clock. david grey and david davis. that is a joo—ho. grey and david davis. that is a joo-ho. and chris mason as well. i will be reading the news on that. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and chris mason. good morning. here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: our main story this morning is tyson fury‘s stunning world heavyweight title win. we will get details from john in just a moment. but first, here is the rest of the day's news:

italy is experiencing europe's largest outbreak of coronavirus, with 79 cases and two deaths. people will no longer be able to come and go from ten communities in the north of the country. 32 british and irish cruise passengers have spent their first night in quarantine in the uk after arriving back from japan yesterday. the left—wing candidate bernie sanders appears to have secured a resounding win in the latest stage of the democrats' contest to choose a candidate to take on donald trump. he is thought to have been backed by more than 40% of voters across the state of nevada. the us presidential election takes place in november. it is 75 days until the 75th anniversary of ve day, and those that served are being asked to come forward to mark the occasion. winston churchill's victory speech will be played across the country to mark the end of the second world war in europe, along with a series of events across the uk in may. and he's done it. ‘speedo mick‘ has walked the length of the country wearing just a pair of swimming trunks.

he was met by huge crowds and a brass band as he approached lands end yesterday afternoon. since setting off from john o' groats in december, he has raised over £300,000 for charity. i'm overwhelmed with the support. it's like the beatles have turned up or something, or wham, you know what i mean? but i'm just running on adrenaline at the moment, and this is — like you say, this is overwhelming. the support that i've had from day one, from — you know what i mean, from families bringing me into their homes and putting me up in hotels, and feeding me, and it's just been one big coming together. distinctive headwear as well as distinctive waist where. he will be on the sofa later in the week, no doubt in said blue tight trunks. we

will look forward to that. if he can stand at land's will look forward to that. if he can stand at lands end in february in your speedos, he can surely stand on the sofa. i was going to say, we saw some distinctive outerwear in las vegas, not only from tyson fury, but from deontay wilder as well. he walked into the ring in some kind of black, glittery... if you won't up at 4:50am this morning, it looks like the masked singer, the itv show. you wouldn't have known if it wasn't for the venue he was in who it was. and in fairness, not to be outdone, tyson fury did much the same, coming out full gypsy kings dale, on a throne, incredible down. it was that brilliant mix of great entertainment, excitement, as we saw, the full spectacle that we get,

and then tyson fury backing it up with that brilliant performance to win the second world heavyweight title belt. and the key thing for the layman watching a boxing match is you get all the hullabaloo beforehand, which is fine, but then you think what about the actual thing? will it be a damp squib or a slow or boring start? it was the opposite. it delivered, and if you are coming out on a throne, you have to back it up. it was a brilliant performance. let's hear from tyson fury after victory this morning. lam my i am my own worst critic, and even though it was a fantastic performance and i got a great win, i know i can do better. i have only just started with this style. we have had seven weeks to perfect a style that takes years, but i am a quick learner, and i aim to get back to work straightaway. work on my balance, work on my straight punches, and we're going to be putting people to sleep, left right and centre. don't forget, when i came here, they said i punch.

deontay wilder himself said i have two pillow fists. but not bad for an old fat guy who can't punch, hey? done all right, haven't i? clearly promising more to come inside the ring, potentially anthony joshua next. you never know. welsh hopes of defending their six nations title are all but over as they lost to france, who remain on course for a first grand slam in ten years. wales struggled early on. an uncharacteristic mistake from leigh halfpenny let france in to score. wales responded through dillon lewis after the break. but there was another welsh mistake as a nick tompkins pass was intercepted by man of the match romain ntamack, who had a clear run to the line. wales got one more through dan biggar, but france held on, 27—23. scotland had their first win of this year's tournament. they scored three tries against a poor italy side in rome. captain stuart hogg scored

the first from his own half. chris harris and adam hastings went over the line to seal the 17—0 win. england start their campaign at the women's t20 world cup later when they face south africa in perth. a tournament which has already seen an upset with the hosts and holders australia losing. we can speak to our reporter jo currie who is in perth. good morning to you. i guess england will be desperate to make a winning start. absolutely. good morning, everyone. i say morning, it is a

very warm 3:30pm in western australia, it is just under 3.5 hours until england finally get their world cup under way. i say finally because it has been a really long build—up for the england players. they have been in australia for over a month now. they had the series where they narrowly missed out on the final by run rate. they have also had smaller matches in the last couple of weeks, as well. speaking to the players a couple of days ago, they can't wait to get out there and get cracking later on. this match against south africa, certainly on paper, england will start as favourites. when it comes to the whole tournament, england are ranked second in the t20 rankings. if you remember back to the last world cup in 2018, england got all the way to the final, where they lost to australia. australia, hosts and defending champions this time, they are being tipped to defend their title, but they open the campaign witha their title, but they open the campaign with a defeat to india a couple of days ago. the match starts at 7pm here, england hoping to get to the final again. but of course, we know australia have proven their downfall in the past. one form of cricket finishes, another form starts. we are here on the bbc news channel until 9:00am this morning. and coming up in the next hour: plans being drawn up to mark the

75th anniversary of ve day. an extra bank holiday friday. all that to come on the bbc news channel. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. let's look at the front pages. an investigation by the sunday times has revealed that members of the house of lords paid themselves almost a third more last year. according to their analysis, expenses are spiralling out of control and the result will be a triple hit for taxpayers. the observer leads with a warning from labour leadership contender keir starmer that the party needs to unite or face an extended period outside of power, and includes what the paper calls his strongest personal attack

to date on the prime minister. a grandmother who was jailed for drug offences fears she will die before serving her eight—year sentence in portugal, the sunday people reports. 71—year—old susan clarke tells the paper, "i've been given a death sentence." and online, images on the metro show the impact the sandstorm has had on the canary islands. people have been advised to keep doors and windows closed during the extreme weather, which could be seen from space. we were talking to thomasz about it just a few minutes ago. you can see it from space but if you are underneath that you can't see anything. good morning to you. we head into the sunday telegraph. yes, quite a topical story because it is back to school tomorrow, half term is overfor back to school tomorrow, half term is over for teachers. the story is

about cambridge looking to expand inta ke about cambridge looking to expand intake from poorer students. they are in detailed discussions with 29 colleges about how they increase their intake, and as a school teacher, ifind their intake, and as a school teacher, i find these their intake, and as a school teacher, ifind these particular releva nt, teacher, ifind these particular relevant, because talent is distributed everywhere, notjust within a particular type of school background. so the university wants to see how they can create a new system. they are calling it the transitional year programme. my old couegein transitional year programme. my old college in oxford has something called a foundation year scheme they have been running for the past few yea rs. have been running for the past few years. that has had great success. it is not something that is untried, 0xford has tried it. it is not something that is untried, oxford has tried it. if they want to get more students in, do they broaden the criteria? so it is looking at unconventional backgrounds, if your school hasn't had backgrounds, if your school hasn't ha d su ccess backgrounds, if your school hasn't had success in getting kids inducted, they call this contextual flags, rather than just purely looking at the grades. looking at other indicators that the student could be a high potential one. because grades are not necessarily an indicator of great talent, i

guess. it is an important indicator, but looking at the wider picture. let's look at the observer next. this is the blunt reality for so many people dealing with the reality these things seem to be happening so much more often than they did. ellen and frances. and they have a name, so and frances. and they have a name, so they are pretty bad. globally the fa cts so they are pretty bad. globally the facts a re so they are pretty bad. globally the facts are we have sea levels rising since 1900, and extremely wet days have increased by 15% compared to the previous decades. so it is something we have got to build for the long—term. in the netherlands they have something called the delta programme, this is the 19505, and how they deal with rising sea levels and floods. we look at peers and

what they do, because floods are here to stay. it is good to find an amu5ing story in the midst of all of the grimness around the floods. thi5 i5a the grimness around the floods. thi5 is a corkerfrom the grimness around the floods. thi5 is a corker from the mail on sunday. a crocodile in worcester. this is quite disturbing. imagine seeing that floating down your high street. what was happening here? they thought it was a crocodile, but it emerged to be actually a fibreglass model. and for a university to spot the difference between an alligator and a crocodile. if you see a v shaped snout, that is a crocodile, a u shaped snout is an alligator.” think if it was coming at me i wouldn't necessarily notice. whether it is wouldn't necessarily notice. whether it i5a wouldn't necessarily notice. whether itisav wouldn't necessarily notice. whether iti5avorau,you wouldn't necessarily notice. whether it is a v or a u, you would be running. it looks quite realistic. yes. when i first saw the headline, i thought come of it, how could you possibly confuse an inflatable or porcelain crocodile for the real

thing, and what on earth would actually be doing on worcester high street. but blimey, it does look quite real. i love the next story you have picked. thi5 quite real. i love the next story you have picked. this is about make do and mend on the high street. returning to the high street, that age old 5kill returning to the high street, that age old skill of fixing things. yes, because again, historically people would buy a new item, the new season i5 would buy a new item, the new season is coming in, let's get rid of my jeans. now people are having a mentality about being environmentally friendly, reusing things, and on instagram there was a campaign about if it's broke, fix it. and again, myjean5, the5e aren't mine, the5e it. and again, myjean5, the5e aren't mine, these are my brother's. does he know you are wearing them?” don't know... he was going to get it, does he know you are wearing them?” don't know... he was going to get so i thought i may as well u5e don't know... he was going to get so i thought i may as well use them.” got somejeans

i thought i may as well use them.” got some jeans darned recently. you took them somewhere, rather than... ye5, took them somewhere, rather than... yes, because much to my grandmother's 5hame, yes, because much to my grandmother's shame, i can't darned. previou5 generations are really nifty with a needle and thread —— can't darn. even if i owned one, i wouldn't know where to start. i 5uppo5e wouldn't know where to start. i suppose that is a potential new industry, isn't it? if it becomes something that is seen to be ethically sustainable, environmentally sustainable, fashionable... i think better at looking at things that have been repaired and liking them stop we don't necessarily have to have everything perfect all the time.” like that. it tells a story. that is a good old selection of news stories. we will speak to you a bit later on with a new selection in the next hour. we have been talking a lot about the weather. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. good morning to you.

the weather will remain pretty u nsettled the weather will remain pretty unsettled over the next few days. there is some rain on the way. al5o a little 5now there is some rain on the way. al5o a little snow in the forecast. it will mostly be falling acro55 a little snow in the forecast. it will mostly be falling across the hill5, will mostly be falling across the hills, 200 metres and if you live in snow prone areas in hills, 200 metres and if you live in 5now prone areas in the winter it is probably heading your way, that is in northern parts of england and scotland. nothing terribly unusual for the time of year. there will be some disruption, potentially, at lea5t acro55 northern parts of the country sometime tomorrow morning. there is a dai5y chain of cloud stretching acro55 there is a dai5y chain of cloud stretching across the atlantic right now and you will see low pressure 5pawning along this line of cloud. 0ne 5pawning along this line of cloud. one area of low pressure, cloud, wind, and rain is affecting u5 one area of low pressure, cloud, wind, and rain is affecting us right now. a soggy night for some and windy in the south. that is out of the way. we will be between weather system today and then tonight the next one just system today and then tonight the next oneju5t behind system today and then tonight the next one just behind me comes along. through the morning we say goodbye to this area of low pressure which has brought windy weather to the 5outh has brought windy weather to the south coast and the rain, but notice what happens during the afternoon.

we've got some 5un5hine for birmingham, hodge hill, newcastle, stornoway and belfast. the odd shower but on the whole a pleasant day. in the south a different story. it will be cloudy, damp, and mild. temperature 13— 14 degrees. through this evening the temperatures drop away acro55 this evening the temperatures drop away across the north and also that ribbon of cloud showed you, it is the next area of low pressure that's coming our way the next area of low pressure that's coming ourway and the next area of low pressure that's coming our way and that is going to bump into the cold air, as we often say. this is the next low pressure, strengthening wind5 a5 say. this is the next low pressure, strengthening wind5 as well, some wintry weather acro55 northern england, into the south of scotland, central and northern scotland. it could be settling in places, settling acro55 could be settling in places, settling across the hills. could be some wet 5now settling across the hills. could be some wet snow in the lowlands of scotla nd some wet snow in the lowlands of scotland and even some towns and cities further south acro55 yorkshire to stop acro55 cities further south acro55 yorkshire to stop across that we have the boxes with the gale force wind5. strong wind5 blowing around as well. very, very gusty in places. to the south of that, on monday, we've got some rain. here is going

the wide open spaces of hokkaido. at any time of year people come here to be outdoor5, but especially injanuary and february — the height of the ski season. the resorts on hokkaido are globally renowned, partly because of the quality of the snow. but also there's a real diversity in the landscape which provides fast black run5, gentle nur5ery slopes and loads of backcountry off—piste skiing. but this year, there's been a problem. it's the lowest snowfall on record injapan since 1961. and at this resort here they had to delay their opening by one month because there just wasn't enough 5now.

so do you think skiing a5 a pastime, a winter pastime, might be in danger? all of this is difficult to hear if this is the highlight of your sporting year. but the weather's had an even bigger impact at the bottom of the hill. this is the sapporo snow fe5tival, held every february right in the heart of hokkaido's capital. laughter wooo! up-tempo music plays

it's a big deal and famous internationally. about 2 million visitors come every year. most people come for the incredible 5now 5culptures. it started in 1950 as a way for high school students to publicly display their sculptures, but now it's grown into something quite different. teams come from all over the world to compete and, for me, watching them sweat is just as much fun as seeing the final result. go5h, this is serious business. look at this man here, he's even got a sculpture, a mini version. hi. what's it going to be? it's going to be the legend of pele the fire... pele? oh. ..the fire goddess on the big

island, the volcano killer whale. they say that when the flames would go to the heavens she would do a hula to the gods. wow! her 5pirit would be inside the fire. so this is the australian entry, and it's going to be, eventually, a waratah, is an indigenous bu5h flower. because we've had the bushfires over the summer and the flower is like a beacon in the australian bush and it's got to regenerate after the fire. so we're going do this beautiful flower with a beautiful flower head and it's going to regenerate and it's an ode to the bushfires from summerand our country, australia. great. this is our team up on the top. hi, guys. hello! hi! konnichiwa from japan. so how long have you got? tell me the logistics of the snow festival competition. there's 11 international teams. but we're all, equally, given the same amount of tools and we've got four days. so we work from nine o'clock in the morning until nine at night. we can have breaks whenever we want.

basically today we're marking out and each day we'll progressively remove the snow and then start to put the detail and then finish off the beautiful flower of the waratah. so what are conditions like this year compared to last year? there's a lack of snow this year. it's been reported that the snowfall is 40 days late, they said. wow. so there should be a lot more snow. and in past years, we've been standing against the sign and the snow's been up to the bottom of that sign. so we're actually standing... wow. ..so we're really low. with the good quality snow, it's really easy to cut and carve. the snow quality is a bit less than what we would we have, but it is snowing now, which is great. as this year's festival opens, the hills around the city were measuring snowfall of about 60cm. normally it's close to a metre. so, where did all the materials come from? well, a massive logistic5 operation 5prung into action. thousands of lorries scooped up 5now from around the island and brought it into sapporo.

let's hope next year doesn't show a further decline. and, by the way, if you're interested in how the australian entry turned out — here it is. the waratah flower — symbol of the country's resilience following tho5e forest fires. and the winners? well, for the third year in a row, first place went to thailand

for this mother and baby sea turtle. up next, it's time for another of our incredible journeys. michael fiala and his best buddy, a siberian hu5ky called sox, are part way through a truly amazing road trip across america. their aim is to take on all 50 states and 61 national parks and, as you can imagine, they're turning quite a few heads as they do it. we caught up with them as they arrived in florida. my name's michael fiala and this is my dog, sox, and we are currently travelling all over the country. we're trying to visit every single state and every single national park in the country all on a motorcycle.

this all started when i actually went on a trip abroad and i wasn't able to bring sox with me, and when i got back the greeting that he gave me, it was really heart—warming, but it also made me feel kind of bad because i knew that he was really upset that i was gone for so long. so i kind of rearranged my bucket list to do all the things i could do with sox. his safety is my absolute most important thing. i know that my eyes are on the road at all times, that i am fully attentive to what's going on. at this point in time, he's now got almost 3,000 hours on a motorcycle. and so i'm not concerned with sox falling off, because he knows how to shift his weight, he knows how to hold onto me. every national park has blown me

away, just the cosmetic beauty of it, looking across a landscape that you've seen nothing that looks like that in your life. it's really impre55ive. and then of course the fact that every single time i'm there and i'm enjoying some sort of view i look down and my dog is doing the exact same thing, he's taking in the experience just as much as i am. my best memories with him was when we were actually in big bend national park in texas and we were driving on a highway and a deer actually ran across the road. i saw the deer run across and then run into the woods. but when i actually looked back on his go—pro you could see that he watched the deer run into view and then traced it as it was running off in the woods. i'm enjoying all these moments, but when i look at film like that and see that he was seeing

the same thing i was, to me that's really special. i get a lot of people who say, well, you should strap him down so that he's secured to the bike. but it's a common misconception. truly, the safest thing for a motorcyclist is to be able to get away from the bike, so god forbid if anything ever did happen, the best case scenario is for us to be away from the motorcycle, away from the accident. don't go in there! buddy, you are going to be cold tonight. i'm doing this because there's too many people that say, "i wish i did" in their life.

and i don't want to be one of those people. i want to say i did the things i wanted to do and i don't want to wait until i'm much older to say, ok, now i can go live life. to me, you don't know how long your life is going to be so you should just live it, and i have to include him, because he's living it too. sox!

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and chris mason. 0ur headlines today: tyson fury i5 crowned world heavyweight champion after beating deontay wilder in the seventh round. it's been an incredible night in las vegas, as fury produced the performance of his life — and promised there's more to come. deontay wilder 5aid himself that i've got two pillow fists. but, you know, not bad for an old, fat guy who can't punch. i did all right, didn't i? the largest outbreak in europe — parts of italy are put into lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus after a sharp rise in cases. honouring the heroes of the second world war — there'll be events across the uk in may to mark the 75th anniversary of ve day. and we've got a little bit

of sunshine in the forecast today, but also some snow and the details on that coming up in the forecast. it's sunday the 23rd of february. our top story. tyson fury has won one of the most eagerly anticipated world heavyweight title fights in years. he beat deontay wilder in las vegas in the early hours of this morning, winning the fight after wilder's corner threw in the towel in the seventh round. corner threw in the towel this is what tyson fury had to say in the past hour. iam my i am my own worst critic. but even i knew that was a fantastic performance and i got a great win, but i know i can do better. i only ju5t dusted with the style and we had seven weeks to protect this style. it takes yea r5, had seven weeks to protect this style. it takes years, but i am a quick learner and i style. it takes years, but i am a quick learnerand i aim style. it takes years, but i am a quick learner and i aim to get back to work straightaway, work on their balance and my straight punches we

are going to be putting people to sleep left, right and centre. don't forget, when i came here they said i can't punch. deontay wilder said himself that i have got two pillow vests, but not bad for an old, that quy vests, but not bad for an old, that guy you vests, but not bad for an old, that guy you can't punch. the spoils of war meani guy you can't punch. the spoils of war mean i will celebrate this victory. deontay wilder will need to recover from this fight, but i'm sure he will because he is a great punch. anytime he can take someone out and without danger, you are a lwa ys out and without danger, you are always in fight. i will go back in with him again, if he wants to, but he doesn't want to, whatever they wa nt to he doesn't want to, whatever they want to do, i am happy with it. whoever is next, they will get the same treatment. what a jacket and what a fight! we can speak now to our sports reporter ade adedoyin in las vegas... what a fight and what a story as well! incredible story, when you

consider everything that tyson fury has been through in the last two yea rs, has been through in the last two years, drink, depression and issues with mental health. he is back in the centre of boxing and he said in the centre of boxing and he said in the lead up to this fight that he was going to take the fight to deontay wilder. he said to me he was going to bully the bully. a lot of people thought this was a classic matchup between boxer and puncher and deontay wilder has been talked about as one of the hardest heavyweight editors of all time, but tyson fury delivered one at the sensational performances, one of the best one in american history. he is back on top of the sport. thank you. john can talk us through the action. when you look at the still images, they capture the moment in quite a way. you see the sweat on the face and the sweat —— this glint in the eye. what they do show is that tyson

fury was on the front foot throughout. having promised to knock you out in the early rounds, that was clearly his agenda and he set about doing that. it is amazing that the fight went on until the seventh round, when you stated that wilder was flawed in the third and the theft. it was probably inevitable but in the end, he wasn't going to get that knockout it was back to's tea m get that knockout it was back to's team who were going to frame details. and we know that deontay wilder was taken to hospital after this? yes, because he was suffering from serious bleeding in his ear, which is never a good sign and he had a badly cut lip as well, so perhaps the extra weight he was carrying coming into this fight made a difference. let's have a look at a view are the tweets that have come through. joshua's promoter, eddie hearne, has tweeted he doesn't want to see fury

fight wilder again — hang on, i don't think he has finished that tweet.” hang on, i don't think he has finished that tweet. i think he means straight to it. to be there, we all hit to send some times before we all hit to send some times before we have finished. and robbie williams said: lennox lewis tweeted: he certainly did, tyson fury comprising there is more to come. anthonyjoshua holds the other belt, so we anthonyjoshua holds the other belt, so we could see an undisputed champion. he could become the biggest boxer in history. it is all

set up beautifully now, certainly for tyson fury. whilst you might not agree with some of the comments he has made in the past, his performance as a boxer in las vegas has to be admired. and he said in his interview, not bad for an old fat bloke who can't punch. is that what propels him? that kind of... everybody is against me and nobody likes me? absolutely. he proved that he doesn't have pillow discs today. it is worth pointing out all the difficulties he has had to come through that and put in a performance, as he did. it is quite impressive. quite a pillow! yes. a pillow i wouldn't want to sleep on. thank you. parts of italy are in lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus. the country has seen the largest outbreak in europe, with 79 cases and two deaths. meanwhile 32 british and irish cruise passengers have spent their first night in quarantine in the uk, after arriving back from japan yesterday. sean dilley reports. italy has seen more confirmed

cases of the coronavirus than any other country in europe. in response, they've postponed several sporting fixtures, including inter milan's game against sampdoria. a number of towns in the north of the country have been placed on lockdown. erica lives in the town of codogno in the lombardy region. translation: we are trying to remain calm, because in those situations it's easy to panic. we go and buy food supplies because we don't know if the supermarkets will stay open. we hope everything will be fine. this is where 30 british and two irish citizens are waking up this morning, quarantined for the next two weeks following their evacuation from the diamond princess cruise ship. inside this nursing accommodation block in arrowe park hospital, clinicians have previously treated coronavirus patients who have travelled from china. the group of people is slightly different. 0bviously, they've come from a cruise ship rather than from their own homes

over in china. but we're working exactly the same as we did before with the health public health england to make sure that they are safe, managed and comfortable whilst they are with us. meanwhile, around 150 patients who were evacuated from china two weeks ago will be allowed to leave this training centre in milton keynes today, after finishing their quarantine. a specialist team of experts from the world health organization have landed in wuhan in china. they say their mission is to stop the spread of the disease at a time when the number of deaths and diagnosis is on the rise. sean dilley, bbc news. the left—wing candidate, bernie sanders, appears to have secured a resounding win in the latest stage of the democrats' contest to choose a candidate to take on donald trump. he's thought to have

period of rejoicing. to recreate that iconic moment 75 years on, an extract from that victory speech will be broadcast in public spaces across the uk. this was a service of thanksgiving at westminster abbey on the 70th anniversary. once again, tributes will be paid to the heroes of the second world war as we remember the sacrifices they made, securing peace across the continent. as a way of saying thank you, the royal british legion is holding a ballot offering vip treatment for 750 veterans, descendants, evacuees and those who served on the home front. it will include a procession down the mall, aerial displays from vintage aircraft as well as a fly—past by the red arrows. throughout the bank holiday weekend, part of saintjames' park will be

turned into victory park with themed events based on life in britain during the second world war. away from london there will be a service of remembrance and parade in cardiff. a veteran's parade and concert in edinburgh and hundreds of street parties in towns and villages across the country. it'll certainly have a party atmosphere. not only has the bank holiday been moved to coincide with the 75th anniversary, pubs will be staying open until 1am over the weekend, all helping to recreate that moment 75 years ago when the nation stopped to celebrate victory in europe. catherine da costa, bbc news. lewis barnham was called up at 19, just two weeks after marrying his wife bessie. 0ur reporter luxmy gopal is with lewis this morning. good morning tear! that's right, i

i heard something and i thought it was a bomb and a gold in the ditch. i lay there and i look to the right andi i lay there and i look to the right and i saw a small corpse... i got up and i saw a small corpse... i got up and sprayed the cops with a range, so and sprayed the cops with a range, so whether i got anything i don't know, but i fired 32 rounds in that copse. it must be so surreal inking about those experiences. do find it difficult talking about those experiences, even now? no, no. it is pa rt experiences, even now? no, no. it is part of my life, so... i don't hide it. and how important is it, do you think, that we remember what happened? think, that we remember what happened ? especially with think, that we remember what happened? especially with the younger generation because you go in and speak to children about your experience, don't you? it is

important that they never, ever forget. our generation is lucky enough to be able to speak to you about those experiences that stand, but you worry that future generations will lose touch with that part of our history? they could do unless they keep plugging it. like you do when you go into schools. what has the reaction been when you have spoken to children and her cub scouts about it? oh, they are very her cub scouts about it? oh, they are very good. very attentive and appreciative. and what legacy would you like to leave? if there is one thing you like people to remember about what it buys you a 34, what is itsweden. -- freedom, to live as you want. to think back to your time when you landed on gold beach on d—day, what was your experience then? i went off the craft and a

at royal british legion. took us through what is planned on the 8th of may. the government are planning a few events across the uk, there is a parade in cardiff, an edinburgh concert, an event in london, but we are also encouraging local communities to get involved and hold their own events in their local villages and town halls... we really wa nt local villages and town halls... we really want it to be a nation getting involved and commemorating the end of the war in europe. we know how important it is to remember and to commemorate and to celebrate and to commemorate and to celebrate and to commemorate and to celebrate and to look back. who, when you plan these events, who are you hoping will get involved? these events, who are you hoping will get involved ? because these events, who are you hoping will get involved? because i am sure, we know the older generation are very sure, we know the older generation are very much engaged, but who are you trying to reach out to? absolutely everyone. it is really important for us, as the royal british legion, to carry on that remembrance aspect, so british legion, to carry on that remembrance aspect, so we

british legion, to carry on that remembrance aspect, so we have got wings for schools to get involved in, so if schools contact the royal british legion, they can do things for ve day and communities, people who fought for the commonwealth. we really wa nt who fought for the commonwealth. we really want to reach out to those communities as well because they are the ones that helped us win the war in europe. so we're really looking for inclusion across all sorts of communities. what is quite striking as there is a generational now, in that firstly there are fewer people who were around and witnessed it first—hand, but secondly as a consequence of that, the younger generation and those are at school now went to perhaps have had the conversations that we did with grandparents who can offer a first person testimony of what it was like for and person testimony of what it was like forand so, person testimony of what it was like for and so, hearing about what happened is even more important. absolutely, and it is really important to educate. ve day was a victory in europe. there were still fighting going on injapan, so a lot of people in the uk actually... they

we re of people in the uk actually... they were out celebrating, they were still waiting for their fathers, uncles, brothers, to come back from the fighting injapan, which didn't concluded to the 15th of august. he very much want veterans to get in touch, get involved. what practical effo rts touch, get involved. what practical efforts can remake to help do that? we are asking for the second world war generation, so that ends, child evacuees, land army girls, to get in touch with the royal british legion, look on our website. we are hosting a ballot. we are going to take 750 individuals, and plus ones to london, treat them as vips, they are getting three rail travel courtesy of the rail delivery group and staying at the hotel in marble arch. we will treat them as vips that we can to make sure it is all about them. how do they get involved with that? if they go to our website and put the detailed info in for

registration, we will ensure that we get back to them, but it has to be before the 2nd of march. so that's quite quick. head of the uk —— ve day in the uk, we would like to hear your stories. get in touch with us. and memories of world war ii — you can email us at bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk, or get in touch with us on social media. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. the weather is pretty unsettled at the moment. there is still a lot of cloud, wind and rain to come our over the next few days, and also some hill snow in the next 24—hour is. it will mostly affect northern england and scotland. that is still to come. it will start tonight and then last through tomorrow morning and afternoon. there is a stream of cloud out across the atlantic right now, heading our way. within this area of cloud, we will see low pressure is spinning up. at the moment, we are in between weather

systems, we will be fairly soon. as one passion withers away, which brought the wind and the rain overnight, we are in between to the course of this afternoon and this next one here arrives late at night and into tomorrow. ajump next one here arrives late at night and into tomorrow. a jump start the day for many others, strong winds on the south coast as well and the winds here will be eating. by the time we get to late morning, early afternoon, we can see plenty of fine weather across the vast majority of the uk. from the south midlands northwards, the weather is looking fine, but they will be occasional showers in scotland, some wintry. in the south would you have got cloud and damp, so from the tip of cornwall or the way to kent i think it is going to be an overcast day with occasional rain. through tonight, it turns on the cold side across the north, just about cold enough for some snow. i showed you that ribbon of cloud. this is the next weather system that is heading our way, so next weather system that is heading our way, so for the early hours of the morning snow across northern parts of the england and southern uplands and most certainly across

the scottish hills. i wouldn't be surprised if there are some settling snow in glasgow and edinburgh for a time during the rush hour, but i think the heaviest snow will fall that the no. 0n think the heaviest snow will fall that the no. on top of that, we have got the girl falls winds, so that conditions will not be pleasant at all, but for of the country it will be way too mild for any snow. don't expect any snow at all in the south, where it will be 10—11d. we have rain on the way on monday. they wintry weather will continue into monday evening across central and northern scotland. and then be 10-11d. we northern scotland. and then be 10—11d. we have rain on the way on monday. the wintry weather will continue into monday evening across central and northern scotland. and then you can see they change quite a lot. we have got rain, perhaps drier spells in the week and then the end of the week is back to some cloud. changeable weather, wintry weather for northern parts of the uk tomorrow morning. the snow is likely tomorrow morning. the snow is likely to fall in areas where we are quite used to getting snow this time of

year a nyway used to getting snow this time of year anyway and for many others it is just year anyway and for many others it isjust going to year anyway and for many others it is just going to be a day with occasional rain and sunshine tomorrow. back to you in the studio. a number of italian towns are in lockdown, with football matches cancelled and transport suspended, as the country tries to control the outbreak of coronavirus. it comes as experts from the world health organization fly out to china, to work out how the virus can be contained. let's speak to professor sian griffiths, who chaired hong kong's inquiry into the sars epidemic in 2003. thank you very much for your time this morning. can ijust start with what's happening in italy because this seems to be a really rather dramatic cluster of cases. how surprised are you by this, and the

job that? i am not surprised by the actions that have been taken because as you said in your report, really the main drive at the moment is to contain the disease where it occurs. so there is an outbreak in this area of lombardy, where the mayor has thrown a ring around 50,000 people. i think it is to communities, to actually stop people travelling in and out to try to contain the virus there because they have had a couple of deaths and they have seen an increase in the number of cases. this action is very much a microcosm of the action taken in china and its debts with the who'5 policy of containment. trying to contain the disease because this is a highly infectious disease. it has been found to be not as serious a science. it is about 80% of people seem science. it is about 80% of people seem to be recovering, but we are still in the early stages, so we don't really know about the disease

and we need to keep learning about it, so the advice at the moment is containment. we have seen in italy football match is cancelled, public areas closed. we are seeing pictures now of people wearing masks. how will those steps help contain the disease? i think we call this social distancing. with this virus, as you are seeing from the diamond princess, the ship. if you have people in close confinement, the virus spreads that much more easily. so what we have here is the steps that are taken to make sure that people are more dispersed, less people are more dispersed, less people coming into contact in crowds, said that if you have an infected person in the middle of the crowd, they might pass it on and you might not know it had been passed on. so basically crowds are not good news if you want to contain the spread of the parrots. that is why the authorities have decided to take the authorities have decided to take the steps. —— track the spread the virus. the main thing is to try to

understand how the disease has been spread because we need to understand more about this disease so that it can be contained in the future. we are actually seeing the number of cases falling in china currently. why are the number of cases rising elsewhere? this is a new disease, and we think it came from bat through an animal chain to humans. and we don't have any immunity to the disease. so if you get infected, you tend to have symptoms. so the idea is that you stop people getting near the infection and what has happened in italy is that we have seen happened in italy is that we have seen what you call community spread. it is spreading within the community. it is notjust like to people who have come back from china. china, there been these draconian shutdown in the area where it started, whip where they had managed to contain the disease which

is why the numbers are going down. but whenever we talk about that, we have to be careful because when we talk about numbers, there is of the people who have been symptomatic and have had tests. you can have this disease are not there you have it. you can have mild symptoms and just think it is a cold and get better. so it is a very difficult disease to actually quantify the risk, and that is why the people who are doing the modelling study is quite very large figures in infection rates. we need to be too worried at one level because, as i say, you can have the infection and recover. but also, if you are older or immunocompromised with a pre—existing condition, you are more at risk of getting the pneumonia and the severe disease. so we need to see steps like those taken in italy to contain the disease. thank you very much, professor, they're explaining that is this morning. the australian wildfires destroyed millions of acres of land and left thousands of people homeless. today, the 25 people who lost their lives in new south wales have been remembered, as our sydney

the australian wildfires destroyed millions of acres of land and left it was australia's black summer. since july, almost 16 million hectares of land was scorched, lives and livelihoods were lost, along with thousands of homes. at a memorial service in sydney, there was a sombre show of solidarity for the victims of australia's bushfires and their families. it began with a traditional indigenous ceremony. new south wales was at the heart of a crisis that raged for months. 25 people were killed in australia's most populous state. it was scarred by fires that were unprecedented in their scale and intensity.

the prime minister, scott morrison, said they were days the nation would never forget. a season of air you couldn't breathe and of orange skies that would not rain. an unforgettable trauma absorbed into our very beings. and of unrelenting grief. for our land, our wildlife and our families. children kissing the coffins of their fathers, proudly wearing their helmets. mothers and fathers who should never have had to bury their children. friends, who came to our aid, who travelled across the water to support us, but to return home under their nation's flags. heavy rain has brought the crisis to an end. the recovery effort will be immense, but already there are nervous glances towards the next fire season. the memorial in sydney comes as the federal government begins a royal commission

into the bushfire disaster. the prime minister said the investigation would help australians survive and adapt to hotter, drier and longer summers. critics though say the commission won't be considering the full impact of climate change on the emergency. phil mercer, bbc news, sydney. that has been a story that has dominated our news over the last two weeks. it feels quiet now, but for the people living at it really hasn't been. coming up in the next half hour. dad andy and son 0wen prepare to do battle, as ireland face england in the six nations. stay with us, headlines coming up.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and chris mason. john will have details of tyson fury‘s stunning world heavyweight title win in just a moment, but first here is the rest of the day's news. italy is experiencing europe's largest outbreak of coronavirus, with 79 cases and two deaths. people will no longer be able to come and go from ten communities in the north of the country.

32 british and irish cruise passengers have spent their first night in quarantine in the uk, after arriving back from japan yesterday. the left—wing candidate bernie sanders, appears to have secured a resounding win in the latest stage of the democrats' contest to choose a candidate to take on donald trump. he's thought to have been backed by more than 40% of voters across the state of nevada. the us presidential election takes place in november. it's 75 days until the 75th anniversary of ve day and those that served are being asked to come forward to mark the occasion. winston churchill's victory speech will be played across the country to mark the end of the second world war in europe — those are the main stories this morning. we promised you an update on the big fight. if you didn't see it, here is john. there were hundreds of tyson fury‘s

fans, it was like a home fight for him. it had everything, razzmatazz, huge anticipation. fancied rest. plenty of singing. he was in the ring serenading the crowd with a bit of american pie. and incredible aggression. the way he started in round one, unbelievable. it was, frank warren was ringside to watch it unfold. good morning, just sum it up, put it into some kind of context, that performance from tyson fury? i have been in the game for, you know, nearly a hundred years now but that was the best performance by any british boxer, in my time, in the ring. you look at where he has come from in the last couple of yea rs, come from in the last couple of years, three years out of the ring to go and take on the hardest

punching heavyweight and notjust the tip, but absolutely own him and own vegas. it was like he was fighting in manchester. we beat the yanks on our own turf, and he came and done the business. deontay wilder was always in trouble, and when tyson fury says he's going to do something, i guess based on the basis of this performance, we have got to believe it? he also went to germany when he won the first world title, but he beat the second longest reigning champion. everything he sets out to do, he does but this was the best. so many people didn't think he was going to do it, but he did it in the bigger

style. he is the best boxer on the planet. he is a huge draw, heavyweight champion once again. let's look to the future now. already talk turning to who tyson fury could face next, possibly another fight in this trilogy. perhaps there won't be much appetite for that now following the dominant fury has had, will we see anthony joshua later this year? co ntra ctually, joshua later this year? contractually, deontay wilder decides if he wants a rematch. in the meantime, the anthonyjoshua fight, i the meantime, the anthonyjoshua fight, i think they are about to announce that fight. in an ideal world, i would like deontay wilder to forego the rematch and regarding anthonyjoshua, it to forego the rematch and regarding anthony joshua, it is to forego the rematch and regarding anthonyjoshua, it is a case of who. two brits, we own the belts, get

them in the ring. it will be the biggest sporting event since england won the world cup in 1966. it will set the country alight. tell us how tyson fury is doing, frank, after the highs and the elation is and what has unfolded. give us a sense of what is going on amongst his team, friends and family that are there. his family and friends, he is enjoying time out over here. he has had a long training and arduous training camp. now he has got to ta ke training camp. now he has got to take a bit of time out and he flies back on monday. he deserves a well earned rest and he wants to see his children. he hasn't seen them for quite awhile. i will leave him alone, let him enjoy his moment and then look at what will happen the future. somebody said to him, i suppose he will go out now i get

drunk and he said, i have done all my drinking for three years. now, serious business and i want to get all of my belts back. is he still rocking that incredible suit we saw him wearing. it was a suit and no shirt with a tie. he is a character. 0ne shirt with a tie. he is a character. one thing about tyson fury, he has brought some entertainment back to the division which lacked personality. he is a personality, fun to be round, i love him. it is great to be around and the fans love him. there wasn't a person cheering for deontay wilder in a stadium in the end, they were cheering for tyson fury. he came out here on the biggest platform and won a legion of fans. it was like he was the home

fighter. they must love him if they are bringing that crown and fantastic gown home. dressing up, keep it for future years. frank, great to speak to and enjoy the celebrations i am sure. i know it is early for you, but it is time for me. we have something a little softer here. frank warren, tyson fu ry‘s softer here. frank warren, tyson fury‘s promoter. great to get some reflection this morning. scotland beat italy in the six nations but welsh hopes of successfully defending their title are all but over after losing to france in cardiff for the first time in a decade. the french remain on course for a first grand slam in ten years. as wales struggled early on, an uncharacteristic mistake from leigh halfpenny let france in to score. wales responded through dillon lewis after the break. but there was another welsh mistake as nick tompkins pass was intercepted,

by man—of the—match romain ntamack, who had a clear run to the line. wales got one more through dan biggar but france held on. 27-23. the younger got the better of the older in the premier league, frank lampard coming out on top against old mentorjose mourinho as chelsea beat tottenham at stamford bridge. goals from 0livier giroud and marcus alonso sealed a 2—1win but giovan lo celso should have received a red card, var inittially received a red card, var initially checked this challenge, decided it wasn't a red, only to admit that var got it wrong. frank lampard wasn't happy. this one didn't need to go to the monitor, it need to do be decided it was a red card. it was clear. i would say if it was one of my players, it was a tackle that

seriously endangered azpilicueta. everybody who knows will say that straightaway. it's not good enough and i'm disappointed because we've had two in a week. it didn't affect the game today. it would have affected, it certainly would have affected the game on monday and i'm disappointed because i'm an advocate of var, i want it to work, i want to to get those sort of decision is right because that's what we all want and it was so clear that that was a red card incident. england start their campaign at the women's t20 world cup later this morning when they face south africa in perth. we can speak to our reporter jo currie who is at the game. england will want to make a fast start and get the campaign under way with a win? absolutely. welcome to perth in western australia and the time he isjust gone perth in western australia and the time he is just gone 4.30 perth in western australia and the time he isjust gone 4.30 in perth in western australia and the time he is just gone 4.30 in the afternoon. let's speak to alex hartley, pa rt of afternoon. let's speak to alex hartley, part of the 2017 winning cup side. tonight's game against south africa, on paper england will

start as favourites, how important is this? it is their toughest group game so it is a hard start. they will be itching to get under way, they lost by ten wickets and they have a point to prove. you are part of the 2017 world cup winning side, that was 50 overs, and now they could be double champions? anyone on their day could be double champions? anyone on theirday can could be double champions? anyone on their day can beat anybody and i truly believe england can go all the way. australia are defending champions, but lost their opening game. you are smiling, you probably enjoyed that. are you surprised they lost to india? no, at a home world cup, there is so much pressure and i'm not surprised india beat them. they have probably got the best spin bowling attack in the competition. but australia are a fantastic side andl but australia are a fantastic side and i am sure they will bounce back. this is day three of the world cup, who else have you spotted you think might challenge for the trophy? we have seen sri lanka beat england.

shall i go have a strong batting line—up andl shall i go have a strong batting line—up and i would love to see a team like sri lanka or south africa make the semifinals. england are playing at the wackerjust behind us, against south africa, where will the danger areas be later? south africa have an extremely strong batting line—up down the order. so evenif batting line—up down the order. so even if england get a few early wickets they have a few batters coming in who have a strike rate at 180. alex is part of the bbc five live commentary and you can heal ball by ball cricket, so do tune in. a little windy there in perth, great to speak to you this morning. bit of strength and that south african liner. the holders australia have already lost to india, you know, england will hope they don't pick up a defeat.

just seeing people in their summer outfits walking around. we were distracted by the sunshine. from the weather with snow, wind and rain. positive spin on that. thank you, john. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, time now for a look at the newspapers. let's look at the front pages. an investigation by the sunday times has revealed that members of the house of lords paid themselves almost a third more last year. according to their analysis, expenses are spiralling "out of control" and the result will be a "triple hit for elsewhere, the observer leads with a warning from labour leadership contender keir starmer that the party needs to unite or face an extended period outside of power — and includes what the paper calls his "strongest personal attack to date" on the prime minister.

a grandmother who was jailed for drug offences fears she will die before serving her eight—year sentence in portugal, the sunday people reports. 71—year—old susan clarke tells the paper: "i've been given a death sentence." and online, images on the metro show the impact the sandstorm has had on the canary islands. people have been advised to keep doors and windows closed during the extreme weather, which could be seen from space. mathematician, bobby seagull, is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we start with something that is a bit spooky. from the sunday telegraph. this is about a remarkably human looking robot at this idea we are a step closer to a world where androids look and feel more like humans. sometimes you meet a human who is rather android like. now this is an android that is

rather human. what is the leap in technology that got us to the stage because they are quite lifelike? technology that got us to the stage because they are quite lifelike7m japan they have embedded touch and pain nervous centres in the robot. it can detect pain and distinguish between a gentle touch and a stern blow. i think the key thing is, in japan, they feel that because they have an ageing society they need robots to create assistance or even friendships for people who are older. that is quite sad, don't you think? it is the way technology is advancing. when you look at the pictures of that child, what is your emotional response, is it... no, it bothers me. a teddy bear is cute, it is not human but it is good. babies look cute. this is halfway in

between. we have a dip in our emotional response as it becomes lifelike, but clearly not lifelike enough. it is an emotional, weird response. you enough. it is an emotional, weird response . you were enough. it is an emotional, weird response. you were talking about the touch, sensation and feeling, but actually they really human instinct is emotion. and that, maybe we will get there in the end, but how does an android, or whatever, get there in the end, but how does an android, orwhatever, robot, basically, ever get... if it is a gentle touch it might be a romantic touch. if it is a punch, it is negative. i know it is only a robot, but why would you want to punch a robot, why would we want to make it feel pain? maybe they can empathise with us. this next story in the sunday times is

about the v&a. encouraging teenagers to rebel. greta thunberg is coming to rebel. greta thunberg is coming to visit bristol on friday to take pa rt to visit bristol on friday to take part in climate strikes. tristram hunt, the director of the v&a said we should be encouraging or giving them scaffolding for the strikes. curiosity, is it not effectively the establishment as some might perceive it, trying to then authorise protests ? it, trying to then authorise protests? the whole point of protests? the whole point of protests is that it isn't authorised? with my students, one of their biggest worries is the environment. if it is sanctioned by authorities, is it really a protest? not very rebellious. what he's saying is he wants to encourage teenagers to go into museums and look back at things from history

that have marked moments of protest. a recruitment drive for museums. a wise thing to do. let's head into the observer, page 26 and a jewish school that is, i guess, outwardly trying to be a little lessjewish and taking in plenty of people from other faiths? a school in north london, their intake is split 50—50 between students from a jewish background and a non—jewish background. they have muslims, jehovah's witnesses, christians but also students who have no faith whatsoever. when students have a very whatsoever. when students have a very homogenous whatsoever. when students have a very homogenous experience with the same type of people it increases the likelihood of intolerance. if you see people from different faiths, backgrounds and their fates, you are more likely to empathise with other people. it is a good move. when children leave school, this is what the world is like? exactly, it opens

them up. the sunday mirror, the danger of diy coffins. one thing is certain in life, death and taxes. you don't want it to split open in the moment. lots of people have paid for ebay style coffins. funerals are expensive and people try to save money. but this report has suggested that handles have fallen off. bodily fluid leaking on pallbearers. i wasn't going to say that. funeral costs have gone up 60% in the last decade. nearly £4500. but be careful in buying something shoddy, something that will traumatise you. thank you, nice to see. always a pleasure. enjoy the rest of your

sunday. huge sandstorms have caused major delays to flights in and out of the canary islands. a storm, carrying clouds of red sand from the sahara covered the region in a haze of orange. alljourneys in and out of gran canaria were grounded on saturday night, while flights leaving tenerife were also suspended. the authorities in lanzarote have cancelled all outdoor events in the capital city, including some carnival celebrations. plenty of whether about in the uk without asking about the canary islands as well. but this huge amount of sand getting whipped up into the atmosphere. yes, that's right. it is not that uncommon to get this

dust, being blown across the ocean in the direction of the islands. we have la nza rote, in the direction of the islands. we have lanzarote, fuerteventura and towards the west there is gran canaria. a very strong winds, so not only have you got the orange conditions with the dust settle it's also very, very dusty as well. 0nce this passes through, what the locals need to do is sweep it up from their cars, which will be covered in salt, which it is. not very pleasant as well in only last a day, be up to three days. on social media some people are saying it is the worst they have seen in ten years or so. not very pleasant. but back to the uk, the good news is after the wet and windy night, the weather is improving and today we have some sunshine for you on offer. not for everybody but they will be some sun around. also snow in the forecast

for some of us across northern england and scotland. that starts tonight and may coincide with the rush hour tomorrow morning. this is what our satellite picture looks like. the sandstorm was further south closer to the canaries and thousands of miles to the north of that we have our own weather system moving across the atlantic and that is spinning up areas of low pressure. today we will be in between weather systems, so that is the weather system that brought the rain across central part of the uk overnight. bit of a gap in between and then this next low pressure will bring wintry weather tonight. right now we have the rain moving away towards the continent across the southern north sea. the weather will be improving, so for many major cities this afternoon it is looking absolutely fine. the winds will be much lighter and pleasant afternoon to go out for a walk, certainly across the midlands, yorkshire dales, across northern ireland and scotla nd dales, across northern ireland and scotland as well. but in the south we have cloud and occasional rain.

this evening it is going to turn chilly across northern part of the uk. the next weather system approaches and you can see the wind spinning around freshening to the west of our neighbourhood and that is the next low pressure. watch what happens across parts of northern england, see the snow falling, falling across the southern uplands and the lowlands, coinciding with the rush hour. some of the cities across northern england, across the hills and the lowlands of scotland could see some snow settling for a time before it tends to rain. we have strong gale force winds blowing in from the west of the south—west, so in from the west of the south—west, so the mild air will reach you. but notice how big the temperature contrast is, two, three and four in the north but in the south it is milder. in the south, don't expect any snow and non—across the midlands either. probably barely any snow in the peak district either. by tomorrow, that wintry weather will

clear away by late evening. the rest of the week looks unsettled. you can see from the weather icons for edinburgh, belfast, cardiff and london, it is very changeable through the week. bit of a gap and then more unsettled towards the end of the week. so unsettled is the theme for the week ahead. england host ireland in rugby's six nations this afternoon, but there's more than just national pride at stake. it's also a battle between father and son. the england captain is 0wen farrell, the ireland coach is his dad, andy. let's talk to rugby coach and family friend, haydn walker. good friend, haydn walker. morning. you know them ve well, good morning. you know them very well, you coached andrew. his mum and dad call him andrew, so so do i. you have known 0wen since he was born. what will today be like for

those two, have you any insight?” think, there has been a lot of media hype around father and son. i get that. but both of them will find it quite amusing. they will be entirely focused on the job, quite amusing. they will be entirely focused on thejob, they quite amusing. they will be entirely focused on the job, they are very, very professional in what they do and they will be focusing on that relationship at all. just focusing on what they need to do. at any point, do you think, during this week they will have had a chat to each other about how it is going? week they will have had a chat to each other about how it is going7m is likely they have been in touch, whether it is by phone or they have been texting each other, but i don't think they will have given much away. they are both very competitive and they will both be wanting to do and they will both be wanting to do a job on the other one today. you think that is it, basically, the rivalry will be that intense? the rivalry will be that intense? the rivalry is in the job, rivalry will be that intense? the rivalry is in thejob, i don't think it isa

rivalry is in thejob, i don't think it is a personal father, rivalry is in thejob, i don't think it is a personalfather, son relationship that enters into it. how much of an advantage does andy farrell have, knowing 0wen farrell the way he does? i don't think he does that much. because 0wen will be performing within the england structure. which has been set out by another coach. so, it's not that his dad is coaching him today. he will be trying to second guess what 0wen is doing. they are not a small family, big, extended family, how is that going to be for the rest of the family, andy's wife and 0wen's mum? it is going to be horrible for the entire family. andrew has two twin brothers. chris and philip. philip played rugby league for ireland. i am guessing he will be supporting

andrew. i don't know about chris. he played england school, so maybe he will support england. peter and carol, andrey‘s mum and dad, i have no idea. they will be sat on the fence. it is really difficult. myself, i am quite torn in terms of, iama myself, i am quite torn in terms of, i am a proud englishman and i want england to win at whatever sport, but i have supported andrew throughout his rugby career from being ten. so today, i am an honorary irishman. i will be supporting ireland today, so sorry, 0wen. supporting ireland today, so sorry, owen. you coached andrew as a boy, what was he like? when he started as a ten—year—old, he was quite shy. i first came across him on a rugby league summer camp in wigan. here he is. gosh, yes. he was 11 on that. quite a bonny lad, but exceptionally

skilled. i think he is about 14 on that one. maybe the puppy fat has fell off there, quite a tall lad. this was in his first year at wigan. that was the 1991 academy cup final which we weren't with him in the team. so, yeah, i have known him a long time. he was quite a shy individual initially. he took a bit of persuading by his dad to actually start playing. and that was rugby league, obviously? yes, and i coached him for the first six years of hisjunior career. coached him for the first six years of his junior career. the same time he went to wigan, i went to wigan as well, working with the academy. how does 0wen compare to him? well, working with the academy. how does owen compare to him?” well, working with the academy. how does owen compare to him? i will tell you a little story about 0wen. when andrew signed for saracens and they moved to the south of england, 0wen was invited to a rugby camp at

epsom and i worked at the time with the rugby league. that was myjob, i had to turn up there. he was so much better than all the other kids, it was quite frustrating for him. but by the end of the week, he was in effect coaching the other kids and coaching the coaches. he was so much better than them and knew so much about the game. that obviously he got from his dad. watching him on the training pitch, it was like being ina the training pitch, it was like being in a tardis and going back in time and watching andrew. they were so time and watching andrew. they were so similar in their mannerisms, the way they went about their business. it was really strange for me to see it. really sorry, i am going to ask you for a prediction?” it. really sorry, i am going to ask you for a prediction? i think it will be quite close, to be honest. but i do think ireland would just ta ke but i do think ireland would just take them. i think andrew is building a bit of a dynasty towards

the next world cup. hayden walker, lovely to talk to, hope you enjoy today. that's it from breakfast for today, we'll be back from 6am tomorrow, have a good day. bye— bye.
