to combat online abuse. players have been repeatedly targeted, often with racist comments. angus crawford has this report. on the pitch, a clear message — there is no room for racism in football. but, on social media, it is a different story. players across the game report relentless, hate—filled abuse. enough is enough, it has been happening for too long. i got it a year ago, boys are still getting it to this day, it's 2021. you are getting racially abused online by anonymous people, you don't know who, but it is easy to make an account. now, listen to this. the blanket ban will be staged across next weekend's round of fixtures. for four days next weekend, english football will go quiet. no facebook, instagram or twitter. i think it is just a great statement from all of football that it's not acceptable, what's been happening is not acceptable.

i think social media platforms and companies can do more. they know exactly what we are doing, when we are doing it and when to sell us stuff when we have been looking at something five minutes before on a different website. so they have the technology, we just want them to point it in the direction of removing hate, not just selling us stuff. the boycott comes up to one of the very greats of the english game, thierrey henry, took his own personal stand last month, deleting all of his social media accounts. it is not ok to get harassed online. as we know, young people a day are committing suicide. big tech has pledged to do more, new filters and better content moderation. four days of silence, then. a symbolic gesture or a real attempt to rid football and social media of racism for good? angus crawford, bbc news.

when you live in these situations, you often come to a point where you feel numbed of the violence and the death that goes on. i bought my flat in eastern ghouta, which is the east side of damascus. i moved into my flat. in 2013, i've been told how the flat, how the building was destroyed by the fighting. it was my life savings basically all gone. this is where i live. eventually, bassel was granted asylum. he could work and managed to buy a 25% share in a one—bed flat in east london. when i first came to the uk, i had to walk, so i could save the fare of the bus to actually put a deposit together for a flat. but his development has flammable hpl, or high pressure laminate, cladding. there are also combustible wooden balconies, and other building safety defects.

i own 25% of my flat, but yet i am asked to pay 100% of any remediation work that could be needed for the property. which could lead to me being bankrupt. bassel and his neighbours had hoped that the government's £5 billion building safety fund would come to their rescue, but their application has been rejected. their development isjudged to be just half a metre short of the 18—metre qualifying height for funding. which is bonkers. like the fact that we have, you know, 50 centimetres' difference and we can't access the fund is just weirdly unfair. the ministry of housing told us that, for smaller blocks, low interest loans will be offered to help cover cladding costs. it added that building safety

is the responsibility of the building owner. i'm still hoping that society will not accept this to happen to so many people across the uk on that massive scale. sarah corker, bbc news. it is guaranteed to be an oscars like no other — broadcast live from a train station, honouring films few saw in movie theatres or cinemas, and reuniting hollywood's a—listers for the first time in more than a year due to covid—19. nominees and their guests will gather at a courtyard in the los angeles, union railway station, while other show elements will be held live inside its usual venue — the dolby theatre. sophie long reports from la. what a year, right? the oscars should be about film stars, red carpets, parties and champagne.

this year there's a few little added extras, like covid tests, vaccine, and quarantine. and the ceremony itself is being held in a train station. notjust any train station! union station — an iconic landmark in the movie capital of the world. union station is a life—breath in so many ways, it's a story of los angeles — in so many ways. and, it's featured in more than 200 hollywood movies. the list is huge, but a few stand out. union station, where union station played a train station, they played it in chicago, but nonetheless, it's our station. when you come to something as recent as the dark knight rises, the batman trilogy, the way we were — you look for union station in that movie, you will find it. supporting roles, or leading lady, she fills the bill. so, this is where the magic will happen. the vast majority of the ceremony

will take place right here, in—person, there'll be no zoom calls, and there's a dress code, there's been a very clear no—thanks to sweat pants. it will be smaller, only nominees and one guest have been invited. the producer of aardman's shaun the sheep: farmageddon will be among them. i'm slightly nervous, if i'm really honest! i think it's kind of weird — for a lot of us, we've spent over 12—plus months sitting in our houses, not really going out and socialising. and suddenly we're going to be at this event. so, it's a bit exciting, nervous, kind of unsure what to expect, but you know, to have the opportunity to go is fantastic. composer and director chris bowers has been nominated for a concerto is a conversation, a short documentary about his family. do you know what it's going to be like? yeah, they did tell us

that its going to be something where they only have a certain amount of seats and the audience will be rotated in and out, so people are controlled in how many people are in a space at one time, i guess. people had to get tested and most people are vaccinated. once you are on the premises, i think it is like masks—off and it will definitely feel like, as normal as they can make it, which would be pretty wild, definitely the biggest event i've been to since covid started. so, finally, the oscars buzz is building. oh, the finale is going to be sensational and we're building to it now. you can feel it. when you — when you see the transformation, of what is happening inside the station, and the wild anticipation you feel, your heart quickens. because it's so good. sophie long, bbc news — not in hollywood, but downtown la. and tomorrow, jane hill and film criticjason solomons will host a special programme bringing you the winners and reaction from the 93rd academy awards.

that's at 9.30 here on bbc news. from learning a new language, to baking the perfect loaf of banana bread, many of us have spent lockdown tackling projects we'd normally struggle to find the time for. ralph goodson is a case in point — after years of putting it off, he finally got around to restoring a piece of family history, his father's 1930s motorbike. he's been telling hannah meredith about the task. ralph goodson was given his dad's douglas's rudge special motorbike more than a0 years ago. it had been his father's pride and joy since he bought it in 1937. he got married in 1941 to my mum, he put a sidecar on the motorbike and it became the main family vehicle right up until the �*50s, when i was born.

by then, i was the third child. i think dad realised that he couldn't cram another kid into the sidecar. so ralph's dad bought a car, and the rudge was no more. he took it apart and put every single nut and bolt in boxes, and there they stayed for decades. until lockdown hit. we have moved house about five times, and every time the boxes have moved with us. and it has become a bit of a standing joke — when are you going to start this restoration? of course, lockdown came along and that has given me the time and the wherewithal to start restoring my dad's motorbike. not a mechanic, but definitely perfectionist. ralph has been guided by rudge enthusiasts, while his dad watches on. i've got his picture on the wall up there as well, looking down on me.

it is a shame i didn't manage to do it while he was still alive, i think he would be amazed that i've finally got around to doing it. it is fair to say it has been a labour of love during lockdown. whilst there is a little more to go, ralph has high hopes for the future of his dad's beloved bike. i reckon i'm probably more than halfway now. it would be nice if in the summer i canjump on it and ride down to matlock bath. and i think that when i do that, i'm sure my dad's spirit will be riding with me. let's see what the weather is doing, if you are out on your motorbike. good afternoon. there will be very little change in the weather throughout the rest of the day. there is an outside chance we will see a sharp shower over

the highlands of scotland but for most of us there is plenty more sunshine to come. it is cooler notably near the east coast with more cloud so in a few localities it is really quite grey, but there is an abundance of sunshine, light winds in the north. still that brisk wind tempering the feel of things further south but it is strong sunshine we have seen today in southern and western areas. some of the highest temperatures here, distantly chilly near the north sea coast. that cloud will creep further westwards through the night, we will also see increasing cloud and rain approaching the north, but where we have the clearer skies once again a frost risk and a chilly start monday. further south on monday losing the keen breeze but it will be much cloudier with heavy rain further north.
