comments a little bit earlier. fii comments a little bit earlier. of course after comments a little bit earlier. (zii course after the tragic accidents from 1994, this racetrack has been made safer and therefore less daunting, less daring. and yes, it could lead to a not so exciting race because of that, but it's also up to the drivers and maybes democrat maybe sergio perez is not considered the lucky charm cat that resides at the lucky charm cat that resides at the imola racetrack. and formulae not went to see lewis hamilton last yearjust before the race. i not went to see lewis hamilton last yearjust before the race.— year 'ust before the race. i love that yearjust before the race. i love that story- _ yearjust before the race. i love that story. we'll _ yearjust before the race. i love that story. we'll have _ yearjust before the race. i love that story. we'll have to - yearjust before the race. i love that story. we'll have to see i yearjust before the race. i love| that story. we'll have to see the cat visits ahead of this weekend. one of the other talking points todayis one of the other talking points today is valtteri bottas, and mercedes are now the hunters, not the hunted any more. and i suppose thatjust the hunted any more. and i suppose that just underlies this the hunted any more. and i suppose thatjust underlies this competition developing the season? we

under the age of one have died from covid—19. with exclusive access to one children's icu in the northeast of the country, nathalia passarinho has this report. the touch of a hand, a warm voice, but no familiarfaces. with no visits allowed due to the fear of infection, it is doctors and nurses who offer comfort to the children. the hospital staff have bought phones and tablets with their own money so parents can have at least some contact with their children. for now, this is the closest this mother can get to her newborn baby. translation: it has been - an immense challenge working in the icu without any parents being able to visit. it is just words exchanged over the phone.

it's so hard for them to understand how their child's case could have become critical and in some cases, unfortunately, the child might die. lucas was just one when he contracted the virus. his mum, jessica, took him to the hospital with a fever and breathing difficulties. worried, she asked for a covid test. translation: the doctor said, "my dear, don't worry. - there is no need for a covid test. it's probablyjust a minor sore throat." weeks later, lucas' condition worsened. he was finally admitted to an icu, but help came too late. translation: i keep thinking a covid test could have saved my son, - because then he would have received proper treatment. but the doctor simply didn't want to. he just gave a diagnosis off the top of his head.

more young children are known to have died of covid—19 in brazil than anywhere else in the world. the death toll for babies under one is 22 times higher than in the united states. why are there more children dying of covid in brazil than in other parts of the world? translation: we have a serious problem detecting cases. - we don't have enough tests for the general population — even fewerfor children. because there is a delay in the diagnosis, there is a delay in care for the child, so only when they are already seriously ill do we get a diagnosis. the children in this hospital have won their first battle. they were offered an icu bed and proper treatment. but now they must wait, hopefulfor this moment... ..of finally being reunited

with their parents. nathalia passarinho, bbc news. it's two years since a fire nearly destroyed notre—dame in paris. the blaze wrecked the cathedral�*s roof and toppled its spire. work is about to start on its reconstruction. our paris correspondent lucy williamson reports. beneath its protective cranes, notre dame still embodies the horror and heroism that unfolded here two years ago. since then, workers have been clearing the debris, securing the structure, and dismantling the scaffolding that melted in the fire — 40,000 tubes of it, fused into strange new sculptures — each mangled piece cut away one by one. now, for the first time, thoughts are turning to the reconstruction. 1,000 trees have been pre—selected to rebuild the roof — nicknamed the forest for its sheer

number of rafters. some of them more than 20 metres tail to span the vast spaces inside the cathedral. this is one of the 1,000 oak trees that have been specially selected for notre dame. smaller tree trunks will be used to rebuild the medieval rafters. big ones like this will go to reconstruct the spire. each tree is tagged, measured and assigned a place in the reconstruction. this one — its trunk almost a metre across — would have sprouted soon after the french revolution. translation: this is the historic oak of our forests. _ we're proud to see the work we do is meaningful. the forest is eternal, but that's not the case for the trees — and if they have a second life in the new notre dame forest at the top of the cathedral, so much the better. a second life, too, for these statues of the apostles —

taken from the cathedral spire for routine restoration days before it collapsed in flames. their survival, says the workshop�*s director, helped persuade officials to opt for an identical reconstruction over a new contemporary design. translation: we took the statues down on 11 april 2019. _ they arrived here the next day — a friday. the following monday, the fire broke out and we immediately understood that what we had in our workshop was some kind of relics. looking back, its clear we saved them, because they would have been smashed to pieces when the spire fell. there was a time that night when fire crews thought notre dame was lost — its survival measured in minutes. today it's measured in tree trunks, manpower, scaffolding. the vast reconstruction of a symbol whose scale isn't fully grasped through numbers any more than through words.

lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. now it's time for a look at the weather with daren bett. hello, there. those will be fading away, we will find skies clearing, temperatures falling rapidly, and maybe some mist and fog patches forming later across parts of southeast england. quite a widespread frost once again, temperature similar to last night, maybe milder across ireland and north... southerly breeze heading into tomorrow. mist and fog across southern england tends to lift rather readily, the cloud will bubble up and spread out and london so this sunnier skies will be around coastal areas. away from the northwest of scotland where we have some cloud and rain here. otherwise it'll be dry, temperatures similar to today, could make 15 celsius again and parts of scotland. pollen levels will be high, mind you. lots of sunshine for many parts of the

country, it'll be a dry day, breezy towards the northwest, temperatures peaking at around 14—15 c in the sunshine.
