6:01 am
good morning from the lake district. more of us are holidaying close to home this year and destinations like this are gearing up for the first weekend of the season. we could be set for an all premier league final in the europa league as both manchester united and arsenal reach the last four, with the londoners dominating in prague. plus, 125 years since the national trust bought their first property, in east sussex. i will be taking a look around and bringing you the forecast. a cold start but the most it will be a dry day. it's friday, 16th april. our top story. final preparations are being made ahead of the duke of edinburgh's funeral, which will take place at st george's chapel in windsor tomorrow afternoon. the service for prince philip, who died last week at the age of 99, will be attended by 30 guests, including all his children
6:02 am
and grandchildren, alongside personnel from the armed forces. buckingham palace said the plans "very much" reflected the duke's wishes. charlotte wright reports. it's a funeral that will, in many ways, depart from tradition. not least through this, the vehicle that will carry prince philip's coffin, a modified land rover that the duke himself helped design. today, the final rehearsals for saturday will begin. every moment meticulously planned. and while the events have been tweaked due to covid, ceremonial aspects will go ahead, with the procession taking the duke's coffin from the castle to the chapel led by the band of the grenadier guards. following the hearse on foot will be nine members of the royal family. in the front rank, the princess royal and the prince of wales. behind them, the earl of wessex and the duke of york. and then princes harry and william. but the two brothers will be separated with the princess royal's
6:03 am
son, peter phillips, walking between them. normally, the family members who hold military rank would be wearing military uniform, like here in 2002 at queen elizabeth, the queen mother's funeral. but in a highly unusual move, it's been announced all the royals will be in civilian dress, a decision signed off by the queen. it comes after both prince harry and prince andrew have stepped back from their military patronages. inside the chapel, the service will be attended byjust 30 people in line with the coronavirus restrictions. some members of the public have been keen to lay flowers and tributes outside. and although it has been discouraged, the bouquets have been gathered in the grounds of marlborough house, visited by the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall. but the palace is reiterating its request for people not to travel to windsor tomorrow and donate to a charity or leave messages in an online book of condolence instead. charlotte wright, bbc news.
6:04 am
our royal correspondent sarah campbell is in windsor for us this morning. good morning. as we know, we are gradually learning more and more detail about the funeral itself. yes, good morning. another busy start here, a lot of vehicles going in and out of windsor castle, final preparations for tomorrow afternoon's funeral. i think what we learned yesterday from the details, the specific details of how the day will play out has brought a different feel to the funeral. that is partly because of the pandemic and the reduced numbers, but also because the duke's personal in print is very much on the cards. he spent six years tweaking the land rover in
6:05 am
military green colour, making sure the stops were in place so the coffin did not around. he has chosen the music, the songs sung by the choir reduced in number to four members. and a bugler will play action stations, which will be played on —— this is played on naval warships to get people to go to action stations. this honours the action stations. this honours the action during the war in the navy. we had details yesterday about the procession, just before 3pm the procession, just before 3pm the procession will set off towards st george's chapel. the duke's coffin will be followed by members of the royal family and as you saw there from the procession layout, prince william and harry, who might have been expected to walk side by side, will be separated by peter phillips who will be in the middle. we spoke
6:06 am
to a palace spokesman yesterday and his comment was that they would not say anything more than this was a funeral and they will not be drawn into any perceptions of drama. the arrangements are all according to her majesty's wishes. chicago police have released body—camera footage which appears to show an officer shooting dead an unarmed 13—year—old boy in a dark alley. police video shows a handgun was found in the spot near where he fell. as mark lobel reports, it comes at a time of increased tension in the us over police killings. police, stop! a chicago police officer chases 13—year—old adam toledo down a dark alley before shooting him once in the chest. shots fired, shots fired, give me an ambulance here now. the boy's actions at that moment have become a source of contention. initially, it was claimed he was holding a gun. but body cam footage appears to show no weapon is visible as he raises his hands.
6:07 am
those videos speak themselves. those videos speak for themselves. adam, during his last second of life, did not have a gun in his hand. the officer screamed at him, "show me your hands," adam complied, turned around, his hands were empty when he was shot in the chest. at the hands of the officer. after the shooting, the policeman calls for an ambulance while urging adam to stay awake. cpr is performed but it's too late. say his name! daunte wright! tensions are already high due to the fatal police shooting of daunte wright in a minneapolis suburb. add to that the ongoing trial in minneapolis of derek chauvin, the police officer accused of killing george floyd, who on thursday was asked in court if he wants to take the stand. i will invoke my fifth
6:08 am
amendment privilege today. the decision whether or not to testify... let me take this off. ..is entirely yours. is this your decision not to testify? it is, your honour. all right. following the release of these videos, shops were boarded up in chicago, leaving america with even more uncomfortable questions to answer. can the sons and daughters of slave catchers police the sons and daughters of slaves? and that's part of the problem. where you see the police in their dna, there is the american history of white supremacy. chicago's mayor condemned what she called her city's legacy of police violence and misconduct. leaving its residents, especially those who are black and brown, as she put it, in a constant state offearand pain. mark lobel, bbc news.
6:09 am
in scotland more coronavirus restrictions have been eased, ten days earlier than planned. from today, six adults from as many as six different households can meet outdoors and can leave their local authority to do so. nicola sturgeon said good progress had been made in the vaccination rollout. the government has defended the health secretary, matt hancock, after it emerged a firm he has shares in won a contract with nhs wales. official records show the document—shredding company was awarded the contract, which is worth £300,000, last month. a government spokesperson said mr hancock had followed the ministerial code and had no role in awarding the contracts. it comes as further links emerged between westminster and greensill capital, the collapsed lender that david cameron lobbied for. could this end up being the ultimate food fight? marks & spencer has begun legal
6:10 am
action against aldi, arguing the supermarket�*s cuthbert the caterpillar cake infringes its colin the caterpillar trademark. is that clear? of course! so, this is cuthbert the caterpillar. now, m&s claims that the similarity between cuthbert and colin leads consumers to believe they are of the same standard, and "rides on the coat—tails" of m&s�*s reputation. the retailer wants aldi to remove the product from sale. m&s first launched the cake 30 years ago, but many supermarkets have since created their own similar products. i'm a i'm a little bit troubled by this and not least because you will be aware that other big retailers have sold cecil, curly and clyde the caterpillar. i think marks & spencer

pleasant when the sunshine is out. there will be one or two showers around. one ortwo there will be one or two showers around. one or two at the moment in the lincolnshire and cambridge offence. clow picking up over northern ireland and western scotland bringing some rain. but for the majority, a dry day. still cold on the north sea coast with the wind off of the sea. highs of 16 degrees. the rain in the western isles to finish the afternoon will fizzle out through the afternoon and tonight, a little bit damp here, same and the rest of scotland and northern ireland. england and wales, another frost to come tonight for much of the england and wales and eastern scotland areas, temperatures dropping down. saturday will be dry and sunny for england and wales and eastern scotland. the rest of scotland and northern ireland starts with cloud and brightens up with some sunshine coming through for
6:14 am
most areas. the highs on saturday in north west england, 1a to 16 degrees. feeling a little less chilly across the eastern coast of england. the dry weather continues into sunday for many of you. details and we will have a treat for you looking behind this property, gorgeous views, in the next half an hour. for many people living in england, this weekend could be their first chance for a break away since last year. that's because self—contained accommodation was given the green light to reopen this week, following the latest easing of lockdown restrictions in the country. sarah corker�*s at a caravan park in ambleside, which welcomed customers back on monday. we can see some of the places where people can stay, but there will be some beautiful views for people to enjoy, at last. indeed, good morning from the lake district. you might be able to hear the birdsong, it is going to be a
6:15 am
beautiful day. we are surrounded by woodland, on the edge of lake windermere, and destinations like this are gearing up for the first weekend of the season. bookings are looking strong, this place is going to be full for the next couple of weeks. that is about 600 people on site here, enjoying socially distance holidays. this is a self catered accommodation, so we have park homes, caravans, safari tents, and glamping prods, proving very popular. people wanting to getaway and enjoy a rural break. 0ngoing uncertainty about foreign travel means people are predicting a surge in the popularity of staycation is this year. that has a ripple effect on the wider supply chain. the people and businesses that make these structures are seeing a surge in demand as well. i have been taking a look inside the uk's
6:16 am
biggest caravan factory. caravan sales have gone through the roof. more of us are booking holidays in the uk. so manufacturing firms that supply the tourism sector are busier than ever. what's demand been like over the last 12 months? 0h, phenomenal. ever since, about lastjuly, when the world opened up and people could go on holiday in the uk. in the autumn, our sales team processed an entire year, an entire ordinary year's worth of sales, in six weeks. and i guess the other thing to say is that we are 75 years old this year, and it's never been busier. hull is the caravan making capital of britain. here in east yorkshire the industry employs more than 10,000 people, and this company is taking on more staff to keep in is moving. on more staff to keep things moving. are you seeing a change then, in the types of people holidaying
6:17 am
in this way, perhaps for the first time? the answer is yes. so, we've seen a large influx with younger families looking to just enjoy a good holiday, often going in and hiring a home. from holiday homes in yorkshire to glamping in gloucestershire. this couple opened their business during the pandemic. it's aimed at those wanting to escape to the country. what the pandemic has done is re—highlighted the beauty of the british countryside. we've got lots and lots of londoners. a lot of the people who live in the city have got no outside space. the first thing you want to do when you're let out, is go somewhere that is completely different and maybe rough it slightly. this safari tent was handmade just down the road in stroud. it's notjust canvases for campsites, but outdoor dining as well. 0rders here are up 45%. we've had, you know, a huge increase for all manner
6:18 am
of structures really, for the outdoor hospitality industry, whether it's pubs and restaurants or cafes. we work with a few local breweries, pubs, hotels and cafes, that have looked to do the same. all manner of uses really, just so that people can then look towards functioning and opening in a much more covid—safe manner. with foreign trips still off the cards, and with views like this, people are rediscovering the joys of holidaying closer to home, swapping the costa del sol for the cotswolds. this place is a chilly so big, you need to get yourself a hugger to get around. arguably destinations like —— you need to get a buggy to get around. these are already set up for socially distance holidays, the caravans need to be five metres apart by law so if you want to you can go a whole week without having to mingle with people. that is one of the reasons why perhaps self
6:19 am
catered accommodation has been able to open a lot earlier. hotels are having to wait until the 17th of may. if we have a little look down here, we can see how busy it is already. these are the touring caravans. i'm trying not to wake people up, i don't think i will be very popular here this morning. i think what the key is for a lot of people, theyjust want think what the key is for a lot of people, they just want to get think what the key is for a lot of people, theyjust want to get out and rediscover what is on their doorstep, get a bit of fresh air after so many months being in lockdown. there are still challenges ahead. speaking to the business owner here today, he said, he spent a lot of money making sure this place is covid secure so the one—way systems, socially distance checking and enhanced cleaning, it all costs and enhanced cleaning, it all costs a lot of money and social distancing means they are at reduced capacity. there is a sense that it has been a difficult winter and they need a busy summer of bookings to get
6:20 am
through. there's a sense of optimism here, people arejust through. there's a sense of optimism here, people are just enjoying being able to holiday again. there's a sense that it is going to be a gradual recovery for the tourism industry. that's an absolutely stunning view you have left us with over the lake district. you heard from matt earlier, a bit cold around the country this morning, it will warm up country this morning, it will warm up for some of us but to take that in. ., up for some of us but to take that in. . , . ., ., , in. that stretch of water is windermere, _ in. that stretch of water is windermere, and - in. that stretch of water is windermere, and this - in. that stretch of water is i windermere, and this picture in. that stretch of water is - windermere, and this picture is one of those images, that's going to get better. isn't it interesting how much lighter, it seems so light on the ground but from above, the shadows are cast still as dawn breaks. just beautiful. shadows are cast still as dawn breaks. just beautiful.- shadows are cast still as dawn breaks. just beautiful. let's take a look at today's papers. the i newspaper leads on the creation by scientists of a part—human, part—monkey embryo. the paper describes it as a "major breakthrough" which could help
6:21 am
researchers better understand congenital diseases, but it says the science "raises ethical concerns". the guardian reports "urgent concerns" over the number of false positive results from rapid coronavirus tests. the paper says in places with low covid rates, such as london, only between 2% and 10% of positive results are accurate. many of the front pages focus on the duke of edinburgh's funeral plans. the daily mail headline reads "brothers apart" referring to the fact that the duke of sussex and duke of cambridge will be separated by their cousin, peter phillips, as they walk behind their grandfather's coffin. we showed you pictures a few minutes ago of this. twitter users have waded into the caterpillar cake copyright row between marks and spencer and aldi. this is mads's version of the controversial dessert.
6:22 am
so what people have been doing, this is about the cakes you buy from the store, but people have been obviously making their own caterpillar cakes, you don't have to buy them, you can make them. this one is by mads. you can make one! caterpillar cakes, just like that. it has teeth! send us your pictures if you have made one, we would like to see them, to see if they rival aldi's or m&s's. i to see them, to see if they rival aldi's or m&s's._ to see them, to see if they rival aldi's or m&s's. i would widen that out to any cake _ aldi's or m&s's. i would widen that out to any cake with _ aldi's or m&s's. i would widen that out to any cake with any _ aldi's or m&s's. i would widen that out to any cake with any kind - aldi's or m&s's. i would widen that out to any cake with any kind of. out to any cake with any kind of story to them, an animal, a lot of those cakes are useful children's birthday. so maybe you have constructed a fantastic cake. do you remember the _ constructed a fantastic cake. do you remember the ever _ constructed a fantastic cake. do you remember the ever given, - constructed a fantastic cake. do you remember the ever given, the - constructed a fantastic cake. do you | remember the ever given, the bigger ships that blocked the suez canal? the supply chain was halted for many

for bukayo saka, a trophy would help him stand out even more. he's stilljust 19, and wants to play for england this summer. goals like this make him hard to ignore. this was one of arsenal's best nights of the season, against the side who'd roughed up two british teams before. alexandre lacazette just danced round them for 4—0. arsenal now look to the next round against their former manager. manchester united won this tournament four years ago. this year, theirfront line's been too much for most teams. and it's1—0. he's in that kind of form. edison cavani and a late own goal made it comfortable against granada, and they go into the semis. it could all lead to a final between two premier league clubs, where, for arsenal, there would be more at stake. a 26th year in europe could all depend on this trophy. joe lynskey, bbc news. one notable absentee for arsenal was captain pierre emerick aubameyang.

could have imagined. he'sjust a brilliant individual, an inspiration, i think, to everyone out there. we have seen him out, i say, in rain, torrential rain, sleet, snow, wind. he just never stops. fraser was treated at sheffield children's after he was born with spina bifida. then, 12 years later, he collapsed and needed life—saving surgery at the same hospital. i'm here today because of them. the hospital will always have a special place in my heart. mike clements has set up the fundraising challenge. he's in awe of his friend fraser. it's a real challenge for somebody to push themselves that distance, have to go out every in all weathers, all conditions. the support of the local community has been brilliant but i think his confidence has grown as well as his fitness as we've gone forward. it's been a tough challenge for fraser. pushing an average

6:57 am
a £20,000 reward is being offered to help catch his killer. police say a person who contacted them with several tip—offs could still have vital information. as we've been hearing final preparations are under way for the duke of edinburgh's funeral tomorrow. covid restrictions mean the number of guests will be limited. the mayor of the royal borough of windsor and maidenhead says people should pay their respects from home. please remember, there'll be nothing to see in windsor. and please put your own health and safety, and the health and safety of others, at the very top of your list of priorities. and please, also, following the government guidance, which has been endorsed by the royal family, and pay your respects to the duke from the safety of your own home. pubs and restaurants are gearing up for the first weekend since the easing of lockdown. it's been a busy week in soho and westminster city council says it's stepping up patrols to support those in the area. we've worked very closely with the businesses to ensure that all the regulations are being followed. and it'sjust — you know,
6:58 am
what we don't want is lockdown 4.0, do we? and it's all about making sure that everybody comes in, enjoys their selves, stays safe. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are severe delays on the circle and district lines and minor delays on the hammermith and city line. turning to the roads and in the west end, shaftesbury avenue has temporary traffic lights for repairs to yesterday's gas leak. elswhere heading towards the blackwall tunnel, traffic is building northbound from the woolwich road flyover. finally a127, very slow westbound from halfway house to m25junction 29. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. once again it's a chilly, frosty start to the day, with temperatures below freezing. a few early mist and fog patches across the home counties, but it's not a widespread problem. for the vast majority of us, we are starting off with lots of sunshine. we will keep the sunshine
6:59 am
throughout the morning. there will be a bit more cloud bubbling up as we head through the late morning and into the afternoon. but it should stay dry today. there is a lighter north—easterly wind than we saw yesterday, so it will feel a bit warmer. temperatures in double figures, ten or 11 celsius. now as we head through this evening and overnight, that cloud should melt away to leave us with long, clear spells. temperatures once more will dip low enough to get a frost into tomorrow morning, perhaps just staying above freezing in many of the towns. so for tomorrow then, watch out for some early mist and fog, most likely towards eastern home counties. dry on saturday and sunday. there'll be plenty of sunshine around at times, and temperatures gradually creep up. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. plenty more on our website, facebook and instagram at the usual address.

start for but dry, all that details coming up. it's friday, 16th april. our top story. final preparations are being made ahead of the duke of edinburgh's funeral, which will take place at st george's chapel in windsor tomorrow afternoon. the service for prince philip, who died last week at the age of 99, will be attended by 30 guests, including all his children and grandchildren, alongside personnel from the armed forces. buckingham palace said the plans "very much" reflected the duke's wishes. charlotte wright reports. it's a funeral that will, in many ways, depart from tradition. not least through this, the vehicle that will carry prince philip's coffin, a modified land rover that the duke himself helped design. today, the final rehearsals for saturday will begin. every moment meticulously planned. and while the events have been tweaked due to covid, ceremonial aspects will go ahead, with the procession taking
7:03 am
the duke's coffin from the castle to the chapel led by the band of the grenadier guards. following the hearse on foot will be nine members of the royal family. in the front rank, the princess royal and the prince of wales. behind them, the earl of wessex and the duke of york. and then princes harry and william. but the two brothers will be separated with the princess royal's son, peter phillips, walking between them. normally, the family members who hold military rank would be wearing military uniform, like here in 2002 at queen elizabeth, the queen mother's funeral. but in a highly unusual move, it's been announced all the royals will be in civilian dress, a decision signed off by the queen. it comes after both prince harry and prince andrew have stepped back from their military patronages. inside the chapel, the service will be attended byjust 30 people in line with the coronavirus restrictions.
7:04 am
some members of the public have been keen to lay flowers and tributes outside. and although it has been discouraged, the bouquets have been gathered in the grounds of marlborough house, visited by the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall. but the palace is reiterating its request for people not to travel to windsor tomorrow and donate to a charity or leave messages in an online book of condolence instead. charlotte wright, bbc news. our royal correspondent sarah campbell is in windsor for us this morning. good morning. lots of the rampages focusing on who will be walking —— lots of the front pages are focusing on who will be walking behind the hearse carrying the duke of edinburgh's body and where they will be walking. edinburgh's body and where they will be walkinu. . edinburgh's body and where they will be walkinu. , .,, . , be walking. yes, those details were released yesterday _ be walking. yes, those details were released yesterday and _ be walking. yes, those details were released yesterday and the - be walking. yes, those details were released yesterday and the front i released yesterday and the front pages are talking to the fact that prince william and prince harry will
7:05 am
not be walking directly next to each other in the procession following the coffin as it travels through the grounds of windsor castle. it has been a turbulent year on that front from the royal family particularly with the recent interview with oprah winfrey. i suppose people were hoping perhaps that a visual image if you like to suggest a repairing of the rift between the two princes would have been to see them walking shoulder to shoulder behind that coffin but we now know that is not going to happen. peter phillips will be in the middle of the two. a palace spokesman was asked yesterday and asked what it represents and he said that this is a funeral and they will not be drawn into perceptions of drama. the arrangements, he said, represent her majesty's wishes. other details that we know, there will be a national minute's silence at 3pm tomorrow afternoon. just 30 people rather than what would have

7:07 am
a government spokesperson said mr hancock had followed the ministerial code and had no role in awarding the contracts. let's speak now to our political correspondent, nick eardley, who joins us from westminster. good morning. isuppose, in a good morning. i suppose, in a way, the speed of the government announcement explaining matt hancock's involvement is a sign of just how serious issues around influence and contracts are being taken right now. it’s influence and contracts are being taken right now.— taken right now. it's really under the spotlight- — taken right now. it's really under the spotlight. i— taken right now. it's really under the spotlight. i think _ taken right now. it's really under the spotlight. i think you - taken right now. it's really under the spotlight. i think you have i taken right now. it's really under| the spotlight. i think you have hit it on the head. what started as a story about the former prime minister david cameron and his links to private companies, one called greensill capital, has quite quickly become something else. it has become a much bigger story about the links between ministers and people in government and civil servants, and the private sector, and companies which potentially make money from government contracts. specifically on the health secretary matt hancock, basically he has a 15%
7:08 am
share in this company called topwood limited. his sister owns a bigger share and is a director at the company and it got a £300,000 contract from nhs wales. no suggestion that the rules have been broken and the department of health is adamant that matt hancock followed all of the protocol. even spoke to senior civil servants about whether they could be a conflict of interest and what he would have to do if there was, and it was decided that there was not. at that point. i think the broader point here though is that we have seen for days at different examples of areas where although the rules might have been followed, people are slightly uncomfortable about potentially the links between private companies and the government. the labour party, for example, are saying that there needs to be a full inquiry that looks at all of this, that looks of that relationship, and i think we were probably going to see more of
7:09 am
this. although a lot of this is out there already and has been registered, it is on various government websites and on some people's online cvs, the big question now is, whether those rules are fit for purpose. and they may need to be strengthened. thank you very much. chicago police have released body—camera footage which shows an officer shooting dead a 13—year—old boy in a dark alley. in the footage of the incident, which took place last month, adam toledo raises his hands in the air. his family says he was unarmed, the video shows a handgun was found near the spot where he fell. as mark lobel reports, it comes at a time of increased tension in the us over police killings. police, stop! a chicago police officer chases 13—year—old adam toledo down a dark alley before shooting him once in the chest. shots fired, shots fired, give me an ambulance here now. the boy's actions at that moment have become a source of contention. initially, it was claimed
7:10 am
he was holding a gun. but body cam footage appears to show no weapon is visible as he raises his hands. those videos speak for themselves. adam, during his last second of life, did not have a gun in his hand. the officer screamed at him, "show me your hands," adam complied, turned around, his hands were empty when he was shot in the chest. at the hands of the officer. after the shooting, the policeman calls for an ambulance while urging adam to stay awake. cpr is performed but it's too late. say his name! daunte wright! tensions are already high due to the fatal police shooting of daunte wright in a minneapolis suburb. add to that the ongoing trial in minneapolis of derek chauvin, the police officer accused

7:15 am
history and significance. i can tell you outside at the moment it is very chilly. the frost is back across most parts of the uk this morning, misty in one or two spots but the most of us will stay dry. one or two exceptions in lincolnshire or cambridgeshire, there are a few showers pushing in there are a few showers pushing in the north sea and made of the channel isles as well. northern ireland in western scotland is a bit more cloudy today and later on the western isles will see some rain arrive as well as a strengthening breeze. light winds elsewhere, away from the north sea coast it will feel pleasant in the sunshine. highs or16 feel pleasant in the sunshine. highs or 16 in the moray firth. but chilly towards the north sea coast. this evening and overnight patchy rain in the very far north west of scotland, most of us drive with a few myths —— dry with a few mist and fog patches.

7:21 am
wearing masks in st george's chapel and the queen does not have a bubble. the bubble was prince philip. it seems to be the case that the queen will be sitting alone. she is number one on the guest list but she will be sitting alone during the ceremony which will be a very striking image. l ceremony which will be a very striking image.— ceremony which will be a very striking image. i think that will resonate with _ striking image. i think that will resonate with many _ striking image. i think that will resonate with many people i striking image. i think that will| resonate with many people who striking image. i think that will i resonate with many people who have lost people and loved ones this year. in the last year. other people who are on the list, princess burma? yes, countess mountbatten of burma, penny braden, she is the wife, she is married to the grandson of lord mountbatten who was such a great advocate and a de facto father for prince philip, who had a very difficult childhood. his mother was shut away and his father spent his time in monte carlo and wasn't very interested in prince philip. so particularly when prince philip was
7:22 am
in school and at naval college, lord mountbatten took over and was really a father to him. penny is both a good friend of the duke of edinburgh, they used to do carriage riding together, he gave that up at 50, and they used to do it together, or they would see him in windsor. she is a long—time friend who used to visit him and also represents the lord mountbatten side of the family, lord mountbatten side of the family, lord mountbatten side of the family, lord mountbatten died in an ira bomb. the palace have said that the queen and the guest list has tried to reflect all branches of the duke's family, notjust to reflect all branches of the duke's family, not just those of the queen and his children but also his german family and his mountbatten family. german family and his mountbatten famil . . ~' ,, , german family and his mountbatten famil . . ,, , . family. thank you very much, professor _ family. thank you very much, professor kate _ family. thank you very much, professor kate williams. i the duke of edinburgh remembered, a special programme looking back at the life of prince philip, will be shown on bbc one at seven o'clock tonight. and you can follow live coverage of prince philip's funeral

7:24 am
together to focus on cutting mental health weights, creating jobs for people desperate for work, making sure we can bounce back in education for children who have lost so much in the last year but also taking action on climate. we will need the skills and talents of everyone in the country to achieve this so we need to put those divisions behind us and come together so we can get over these enormous challenges, and they are enormous, so let's focus, have a needle sharp focus on what counts. :, , , :, :, :, counts. you will be very aware, how does our counts. you will be very aware, how does your manifesto _ counts. you will be very aware, how does your manifesto and _ counts. you will be very aware, how does your manifesto and what i counts. you will be very aware, how does your manifesto and what you i does your manifesto and what you represent worked out on the doorstep, as it were, if you are talking to a voter who believes in the idea of scottish independence? how does the message, what does the scottish liberal democrat party have to offer those people? itruihat scottish liberal democrat party have to offer those people?— to offer those people? what we are sa inc to offer those people? what we are sa in: to to offer those people? what we are saying to them. _ to offer those people? what we are saying to them, and _ to offer those people? what we are saying to them, and i _ to offer those people? what we are saying to them, and i think- to offer those people? what we are saying to them, and i think there i saying to them, and i think there are many of them, who are saying, if we want to try and get over these
7:25 am
massive challenges that everybody agrees are massive, there are 1500 young people waiting over a year to get mental health treatment, 5000 adults. if we want to overcome these issues, let's for once agree to disagree about independence and put it to one side. whatever your argument is about independence, it will divide the country. let's put that aside for now and we can focus on these things. that message is a message which attracts people who support independence and those who do not, because they recognise that this is quite an eventjust now. we have endured ten years of division and a year of this pandemic, so let's come together, and that is a message they are warming to. ilrlul’iiiie message they are warming to. willie rennie, as message they are warming to. willie rennie. as l — message they are warming to. willie rennie, as i listen _ message they are warming to. willie rennie, as i listen to _ message they are warming to. willie rennie, as i listen to you _ message they are warming to. willie rennie, as i listen to you say - message they are warming to. willie rennie, as i listen to you say that as you would explain it to someone you are speaking to, when you say, put the idea, i think your phrase was, put it to one side. the

7:27 am
reminding people that you have five msps in the scottish parliament. i know you are putting mental health is one of your key campaign issues, and i'm seeing the snp is promising to increase mental health spending by 25%. what are you proposing? we are proposing to guarantee that we would have 15% of the total nhs budget every year spent on mental health. in the last budget we worked together with the snp even though we disagree on independence, to get an extra £120 million for mental health which took it to above 1.2 billion in total. these are big sums of money and we have made a big difference already. we will go further by guaranteeing 15% of the total nhs budget in scotland to go total nhs budget in scotland to go to mental health. the reason why thatis to mental health. the reason why that is important is because often when the pressure is on in other areas of the nhs, mental health gets
7:28 am
left behind. it doesn't have advocates in the same way that other health services do. we are the advocates of mental health for people who weight and age and that's why we are guaranteeing that 15%. —— people who are waiting an h. thank ou ve people who are waiting an h. thank you very much. _ people who are waiting an h. thank you very much, willie _ people who are waiting an h. thank you very much, willie rennie, i people who are waiting an h. thank you very much, willie rennie, the l you very much, willie rennie, the leader of the scottish liberal democrats, speaking to us this morning. coming up on breakfast this morning. million of cat owners in england could be forced to microchip their pets under new plans being considered by ministers. just an excuse to show you a picture of a rather cute cat who isn't hungry. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. detectives investigating the murder of a teenager in east london believe an anonymous caller could hold key information to find those responsible. it's now three years since sami sidhom was stabbed
7:29 am
to death on his way home from a west ham match. a £20,000 reward is being offered to help catch his killer. police say a person who contacted them with several tip—offs could still have vital information. as we've been hearing, final preparations are underway for the duke of edinburgh's funeral tomorrow. covid restrictions mean the number of guests will be limited. the mayor of the royal borough of windsor and maidenhead says people should pay their respects from home. please remember, there'll be nothing to see in windsor. and please put your own health and safety, and the health and safety of others, at the very top of your list of priorities. and please, also, follow the government guidance, which has been endorsed by the royal family, and pay your respects to the duke from the safety of your own home. pubs and restaurants are gearing up for the first weekend since the easing of lockdown. it's been a busy week in soho, and westminster city council says it's stepping up patrols to support those in the area.
7:30 am
we've worked very closely with the businesses to ensure that all the regulations are being followed. and it'sjust — you know, what we don't want is lockdown 4.0, do we? and it's all about making sure that everybody comes in, enjoys their selves, stays safe. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are severe delays on the circle, and minor delays on the district and the hammermith and city lines. turning to the roads — in forest hill, queues on the a205 through the roadworks. elsewhere, shaftesbury avenue has temporary traffic lights for repairs to yesterday's gas leak. finally, on the m3, one lane is closed southbound between junction bagshot and junction four camberley because of a broken down car. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. once again it's a chilly, frosty start to the day, with temperatures below freezing. a few early mist and fog patches across the home counties,
7:31 am
but it's not a widespread problem. for the vast majority of us, we are starting off with lots of sunshine. we will keep the sunshine throughout the morning. there will be a bit more cloud bubbling up as we head through the late morning and into the afternoon. but it should stay dry today. there is a lighter north—easterly wind than we saw yesterday, so it will feel a bit warmer. temperatures in double figures, ten or 11 celsius. now as we head through this evening and overnight, that cloud should melt away to leave us with long, clear spells. temperatures once more will dip low enough to get a frost into tomorrow morning, perhaps just staying above freezing in many of the towns. so for tomorrow then, watch out for some early mist and fog, most likely towards eastern home counties. dry on saturday and sunday. there be plenty of sunshine around at times, and temperatures gradually creep up. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. plenty more on our website, facebook and instagram at the usual address. now though, it's back to charlie and naga.

7:52 am
wonderful. thank you very much. a offers you. i am very lucky! as we are. enjoy the day. if you have all starred in east sussex. frost on the ground. the sun is starting to work. let's look at the forecast for today. whilst it is a chilly start, once again most places will be dry and most will have some sunny spells. one or two exceptions, but overall it is high pressure that dominates the weather charts at the moment. high pressure generally means dry. extending in from scandinavia. spreading colder air. keeping weather fronts at bay in the atlantic. one of those will move into scotland and northern ireland. already starting to cloud over there. could see some rain later in there. could see some rain later in the western isles. this morning, showers in lincolnshire and parts of the midlands. also for the channel islands. really they are the
7:53 am
exception rather than the rule. for the vast majority has been a lovely few days with blue skies. for many, the same again today. still cool along north sea coast. highest temperatures today caithness and the moray firth. could get up to 15 celsius. this evening and overnight we start with the rain in the western isles. that will turn light and patchy. it could affect parts of sutherland. with the cloud in place here and northern ireland, temperatures will drop as much. he's in scotland, england and wales are widespread frost tonight. temperatures fairly similar to recent nights. —4, —5, —6 in a few spots. nicole started saturday. —— where a cold start on saturday. cloud in scotland and northern ireland will thin and break. more sunshine in the afternoon. clearly there in recent days. the best of there in recent days. the best of the songs for england and wales. highest temperatures 15 to 16 celsius in north wales. another
7:54 am
chilly start to sunday. for england and wales it should be another fine one. or hazy sunshine to the north and west. scotland, northern ireland cloudier, more generally, and in the northern half of scotland we will see some rain at times. overall, a lot of dry weather. not a huge amount of rain. temperatures in the mid teens in england and wales. they could climb further into next week. but crucially, the gardeners have had to deal with a lot of cold weather. they have had to deal with a lot of dry weather. not much rain in the forecast for the next week and beyond. that is how it looks here in east sussex. back to nag and charlie. you are soilin: back to nag and charlie. you are spoiling us. _ back to nag and charlie. you are spoiling us, matt. _ back to nag and charlie. you are spoiling us, matt. good - back to nag and charlie. you are spoiling us, matt. good tips - back to nag and charlie. you are spoiling us, matt. good tips for| back to nag and charlie. you are i spoiling us, matt. good tips for the gardeners. but the rain will come back, that is guaranteed in the uk. ididn't hear i didn't hear that. what did he say? i didn't hear that. what did he say? i said of the rain will all come

7:56 am
well, let's start with the shops. monday morning began with queues of customers waiting to get their first taste of in—store shopping since december. turnout might appear to be pretty good. but in reality, footfall has been lower than compared to the same week before the pandemic — down more than a third from april 2019. monika runs an independent department store in ludlow. she says some customers are still nervous, but that business is picking up. first three days were really, really busy _ first three days were really, really busy it _ first three days were really, really busy. it wasn't overwhelming. we didn't— busy. it wasn't overwhelming. we didn't have — busy. it wasn't overwhelming. we didn't have to turn anybody away because — didn't have to turn anybody away because we still control the numbers inside _ because we still control the numbers inside the _ because we still control the numbers inside the shop. we have a lot of our regular— inside the shop. we have a lot of our regular customers coming in, topping _ our regular customers coming in, topping up — our regular customers coming in, topping up on socks and underwear as a priority _ topping up on socks and underwear as a priority. and other lovely things. it a priority. and other lovely things. it was _ a priority. and other lovely things. it was lovely to see everyone. peopie — it was lovely to see everyone.

property purchased by the national trust 125 years ago. we are looking into the significance of that and i will give you the forecast which today includes a lot of dry weather. full forecast and it is coming up later on the show. it's friday, 16th april. our top story. final preparations are being made ahead of the duke of edinburgh's funeral, which will take place at st george's chapel in windsor tomorrow afternoon. the service for prince philip, who died last week at the age of 99, will be attended by 30 guests, including all his children and grandchildren, alongside personnel from the armed forces. our royal correspondent sarah campbell is in windsor for us this morning. some beautiful sunshine there this morning. i know it has been busy with preparations ahead of the events tomorrow.— with preparations ahead of the events tomorrow. . ., events tomorrow. yes, good morning. stunnin: events tomorrow. yes, good morning. stunning morning _ events tomorrow. yes, good morning. stunning morning here _

sure it is exactly right. there will be a procession following it, members of the royal family on foot, including prince william and harry. as has been much reported on all of the front pages this morning, they will not walk side by side, shoulder to shoulder, peter phillips will be in between them. when a palace spokesman was asked about this yesterday, his response was, this is a funeral and they will not be drawn into any perceptions of drama. with the arrangements signed off by her majesty the queen. obviously a reference to some of the trouble is that there have been, reports of rifts between the brothers in the last year. rather than 800 people being in st george's chapel tomorrow, the number will bejust 30, the duke's children, grandchildren and their spouses, and three of philip's german relatives will also be in the service. his stamp is all over the service, he

8:05 am
in the us over police killings. police, stop! a chicago police officer chases 13—year—old adam toledo down a dark alley before shooting him once in the chest. shots fired, shots fired, get an ambulance here now. the boy's actions at that moment have become a source of contention. initially, it was claimed he was holding a gun. but body cam footage appears to show no weapon is visible as he raises his hands. those videos speak for themselves. adam, during his last second of life, did not have a gun in his hand. the officer screamed at him, "show me your hands," adam complied, turned around, his hands were empty when he was shot in the chest. at the hands of the officer. after the shooting, the policeman calls for an ambulance while urging adam to stay awake.
8:06 am
cpr is performed but it's too late. say his name! daunte wright! tensions are already high due to the fatal police shooting of daunte wright in a minneapolis suburb. add to that the ongoing trial in minneapolis of derek chauvin, the police officer accused of killing george floyd, who on thursday was asked in court if he wants to take the stand. i will invoke my fifth amendment privilege today. the decision whether or not to testify... let me take this off. ..is entirely yours. is this your decision not to testify? it is, your honour. all right. following the release of these videos, shops were boarded up in chicago, leaving america with even more uncomfortable questions to answer. can the sons and daughters of slave catchers police the sons and daughters of slaves?
8:07 am
and that's part of the problem. where you see the police in their dna, there is the american history of white supremacy. chicago's mayor condemned what she called her city's legacy of police violence and misconduct. leaving its residents, especially those who are black and brown, as she put it, in a constant state offearand pain. mark lobel, bbc news. the government has defended the health secretary, matt hancock, after it emerged a firm he has shares in won a contract with nhs wales. official records show the document—shredding company was awarded the contract, which is worth £300,000, last month. a government spokesperson said mr hancock had followed the ministerial code and had no role in awarding the contracts. let's speak now to our political correspondent, nick eardley, who joins us from westminster.
8:08 am
this examination, shall we say, as to who is connected to which companies, and what rules have been followed, this is going away. it followed, this is going away. it isn't, naga. and it has changed from this original story about whether the former prime minister david cameron had to close links to a company, greensill capital, that he worked for and lobbied ministers on behalf, to a wider question about whether the rules which are in place at the moment for purpose. so in the case of the health secretary, he hasn't broken any rules, by the looks of it. he registered an interest, that he had in this company, he spoke to senior civil servants about the potential conflict of interest of his sister owning a bigger share in this company, and it is important to point out that nhs wales, who the
8:09 am
contract came from, is different from nhs england. his team would say he has done nothing wrong. we are increasingly hearing stories about connections between private companies and civil servants, or government ministers, or other people in government. and i think there are a lot of people in westminster who are a bit uncomfortable about some of those associations. we have heard this morning from one of the former heads of the civil service in the uk, said bob casley, saying some of the relationships needs to be examined. —— sir bob carelessly. it fundamentally comes down rules of whether —— it fundamentally comes down to whether the rules are strict enough when it comes to public money being handed out. coronavirus restrictions limiting travel within scotland have been eased, ten days earlier than planned. from today, six adults from as many as six different households can meet outdoors. let's speak to our scotland

years ago. we will be finding out a little bit more about the significance of that with the curator in around half an hour. but as naga said, a cold start, the sun is out, it feels beautiful. lovely location to be in. the frost is melting quite quickly across the uk, a widespread frost. most places dry this morning, but if few exceptions, showers in east yorkshire, lincolnshire, down towards the east midlands, one or two to the channel islands. away from that, blue skies overhead foremost. hazy sunshine in western scotland and northern ireland because of a weather front creeping in bringing some rain to the western isles later. most other parts of the uk will stay dry. temperatures in the west of scotland and northern ireland not quite as high as sa because of a bit more cloud, highest temperatures are in the far north—east of scotland, 15 and 16,
8:14 am
but still cool on the north sea coast. this evening and overnight, clear skies over england and wales and eastern scotland means another frost, temperatures well below freezing in rural parts. not as cold to the west of scotland and northern ireland because you will have the cloud. a bit of patchy rain in the far west highlands and islands, departing every saturday morning. —— over saturday morning. sonny on england and wales on saturday and the highest of which is here. the higher temperatures around the liverpool bay area, 15 and 16. england and wales will have the best of the sunshine on sunday, a full forecast and are looking more round the house in about half an hour. i know you will have a detailed forecast, we are going to show pictures of loch lomond, but what kind of temperatures, sorry, that is ambleside in the lake district. what

8:16 am
has 600 people enjoying a socially distanced holiday. this is a sin —— self—contained accommodation, we have safari tents, caravans and glamping pods. the businesses that build these kind of structures have seen a surge in demand and i have been inside the uk's biggest caravan factory. caravan sales have gone through the roof. more of us are booking holidays in the uk. so manufacturing firms that supply the tourism sector are busier than ever. what's demand been like over the last 12 months? oh, phenomenal. ever since, about lastjuly, when the world opened up and people could go on holiday in the uk. in the autumn, our sales team processed an entire year, an entire ordinary year's worth of sales, in six weeks. and i guess the other thing
8:17 am
to say is that we are 75 years old this year, and it's never been busier. hull is the caravan making capital of britain. here in east yorkshire the industry employs more than 10,000 people, and this company is taking on more staff to keep things moving. are you seeing a change then, in the types of people holidaying in this way, perhaps for the first time? the answer is yes. so, we've seen a large influx with younger families looking to just enjoy a good holiday, often going in and hiring a home. from holiday homes in yorkshire to glamping in gloucestershire. this couple opened their business during the pandemic. it's aimed at those wanting to escape to the country. what the pandemic has done is re—highlighted the beauty of the british countryside. we've got lots and lots of londoners. a lot of the people who live in the city have got no outside space.
8:18 am
the first thing you want to do when you're let out, is go somewhere that is completely different and maybe rough it slightly. this safari tent was handmade just down the road in stroud. it's notjust canvases for campsites, but outdoor dining as well. orders here are up 45%. we've had, you know, a huge increase for all manner of structures really, for the outdoor hospitality industry, whether it's pubs and restaurants or cafes. we work with a few local breweries, pubs, hotels and cafes, that have looked to do the same. all manner of uses really, just so that people can then look towards functioning and opening in a much more covid—safe manner. with foreign trips still off the cards, and with views like this, people are rediscovering the joys of holidaying closer to home, swapping the costa del sol for the cotswolds.

8:27 am
requested. i think it was first built in about 2003 and he spent many years modifying it, changing the colour and the fittings on the back of the track so that it can carry the coffin. and again, it's an insight into his love of detail, his love of engineering, and supporting british businesses. goad love of engineering, and supporting british businesses.— love of engineering, and supporting british businesses. good to speak to ou, thank british businesses. good to speak to you. thank you _ british businesses. good to speak to you. thank you very _ british businesses. good to speak to you, thank you very much, - british businesses. good to speak to you, thank you very much, emily i you, thank you very much, emily nash, royal editorfor you, thank you very much, emily nash, royal editor for hello magazine. let's tell you what will be on over the next few days. the duke of edinburgh remembered, a special programme looking back at the life of prince philip, will be shown on bbc one at seven o'clock tonight. and you can follow live coverage of prince philip's funeral in a special programme tomorrow from 12:30pm here on bbc one, with further coverage of the event later in the evening from 8.10pm. the funeral will also be broadcast on bbc radio 4 and radio five live from 2pm.
8:28 am
time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. detectives investigating the murder of a teenager in east london believe an anonymous caller could hold key information to find those responsible. it's now three years since sami sidhom was stabbed to death on his way home from a west ham match. a £20,000 reward is being offered to help catch his killer. police say a person who contacted them with several tip—offs could still have vital information. as we've been hearing the final preparations are under way for the duke of edinburgh's funeral tomorrow. covid restrictions mean the number of guests will be limited. the mayor of the royal borough of windsor and maidenhead says people should pay their respects from home. please remember, there'll be nothing to see in windsor.
8:29 am
and please put your own health and safety, and the health and safety of others, at the very top of your list of priorities. and please, also, follow the government guidance, which has been endorsed by the royal family, and pay your respects to the duke from the safety of your own home. pubs and restaurants are gearing up for the first weekend since the easing of lockdown. it's been a busy week in soho and westminster city council says it's stepping up patrols to help those in the area stay safe. we've worked very closely with the businesses to ensure that all the regulations are being followed. and it'sjust — you know, what we don't want is lockdown 4.0, do we? and it's all about making sure that everybody comes in, enjoys their selves, stays safe. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are minor delays on the the circle line and the hammermith and city lines. turning to the roads — on the a406, one lane blocked westbound between staples corner and neasden interchange
8:30 am
because of a broken down car. elsewhere, in forest hill, there are queues on the a205 through the roadworks. finally, on waterloo bridge there are queues northbound due to matrix signs incorrectly saying the strand underpass is closed. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. once again it's a chilly, frosty start to the day, with temperatures below freezing. a few early mist and fog patches across the home counties, but it's not a widespread problem. for the vast majority of us, we are starting off with lots of sunshine. we will keep the sunshine throughout the morning. there will be a bit more cloud bubbling up as we head through the late morning and into the afternoon. but it should stay dry today. there is a lighter north—easterly wind than we saw yesterday, so it will feel a bit warmer. temperatures in double figures, ten or 11 celsius. now as we head through this evening and overnight, that cloud should melt away to leave us with long, clear spells. temperatures once more will dip low enough to get a frost into tomorrow morning,
8:31 am
perhaps just staying above freezing in many of the towns. so for tomorrow then, watch out for some early mist and fog, most likely towards eastern home counties. dry on saturday and sunday. there be plenty of sunshine around at times, and temperatures gradually creep up. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. plenty more on our website, facebook and instagram at the usual address. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one. let's find out what's on today's show with shirley and gethin. good morning. coming up on morning live, no kym today — she's wangled a day off, so here to keep me company is the brilliant shirley ballas. and shirley, of course,

8:38 am
for lacazette, who scored twice in their4—0 win. they face former manager unai emery, now at villareal, in the last four. a great strike from edinson cavani helped manchester united to a 2—0 win over granada, who already had a two goal advantaged heading into the second leg. they play roma in the last four and a chance for ole gunnar solskjaer to put behind him the unwanted record of leading his team in four semi—finals so far and winning none. what result for dan evans, the best of his career, in beating novak djokovic, the world number one. it came in the third round of the monte carlo masters. the british number one will try and back that up against david goffin in the quarter finals this morning. snooker returns to sheffield's crucible theatre tomorrow, and so does the crowd. the world championship is one of a number of pilot events testing the return of spectators in england. a third of the seats will be occupied for the opening matches, and all being well, that will rise to a hundred percent for the final
8:39 am
in a couple of weeks' time everybody will be tested. even all the players, the backroom staff, the bbc, and all the supporters will be tested individually, the lateral tests, to let them in. plenty of precautions, plenty of protocols in place to make sure it is going to be a safe environment for everybody. it is a pilot scheme, it is backed by the government as well. and we are just so happy that crowds will be allowed to come through the crucible doors when it all starts. and this certainly caused a few laughs yesterday. the paint company dulux forced to apologise for a series of tweets mocking tottenham after annoucning a new partnership with the club.. spurs revealed the supplier as their latest sponsor, prompting a flurry of amusing responses. can the dulux dog play centre—back? that one came from chris, to which the dulux account replied, "he might do a betterjob, chris."
8:40 am
someone then suggested perhaps they use all that paint to paint tottenham's trophy cabinet. to which dulux replied, "don't be silly — surfaces should be dust free before painting", a nod to tottenham's recent lack of silverware. and then, hammered the point home with an image of an unsed trophy cabinet for sale. the company has since apologised, and are said they will be investigating what happened. spurs appeared to take it with good grace — they say they'll "gloss over it". that is what you needed to do, that is how— that is what you needed to do, that is how you — that is what you needed to do, that is how you needed to do —— with deal with it _ is how you needed to do —— with deal with it. hit_ is how you needed to do -- with deal withit.~ ,,_ is how you needed to do -- with deal withit. ...y, is how you needed to do -- with deal with it. . , , . , , with it. all publicity is good publicity- — with it. all publicity is good publicity- no _ with it. all publicity is good publicity. no need - with it. all publicity is good publicity. no need to - with it. all publicity is good - publicity. no need to apologise. i hope the person who was behind it, the human being, the funny human being behind that, isn't in trouble.
