good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. stocking up for a booster in the autumn. the government orders an extra 60 million doses of the pfizer covid vaccine. a murder investigation begins after the body ofjulia james, a police community support officer, is found in woodland. looking for a new leader. the dup starts the process of replacing arlene foster. i guess you're the only person around who doesn't have tv coverage of the scene. that's all right, i don't mind a bit. up in the stars but out of the limelight. michael collins, the third member of the apollo 11 crew, dies at the age of 90.

good morning. it has been the coldest and driest spring in a0 years. it is bad news forfarmers, and it could mean prices at the supermarkets start to rise. a big step closer to european glory for manchester city who come from behind in paris to win the away leg of their champions league semi—final. good morning. last night we had another frost, good morning. last night we had anotherfrost, meaning that good morning. last night we had another frost, meaning that every night this april we have seen a frost somewhere in the uk. today's forecast is one of the sunshine and showers, some will be heavy and thundery. all of the details coming up. it's thursday the 29th of april. the uk has secured a further 60 million doses of the pfizer—biontech coronavirus jab as part of a plan to roll out a booster programme in the autumn. the health secretary matt hancock said the aim of the extra jabs was to "keep us safe and free

here while we get this disease under control across the world". james reynolds reports. right now, all adults in the uk wait their turn to get two coronavirus jabs. but the government is now preparing a possible third dose, a booster in the autumn. it's an insurance policy for the most vulnerable. i'm delighted to be able to tell you that we have secured a further 60 million doses of the pfizer biontech vaccine, that will be used alongside others as part of our booster shots programme later this year. and that is all about protecting the progress that we've made. the current two dose strategy gives strong protection, but scientists don't yet know for how long. so, as winter approaches, the booster, or third jab, will be offered. it's not yet clear if this third jab will simply be another dose

of the current shots, or whether the booster will be tweaked to deal with new variants of the virus. as infections decline, life has become to open up. life has begun to open up. 0ne adult in five in the uk is now fully vaccinated. but this country isn't following the us in allowing fully vaccinated people to meet up indoors. i know this feels tantalisingly, extremely close, and it is going to be frustrating at times for people. particularly those who have had the two doses. but we just need to make sure we don't have to go backwards again on any of this. that means that everyone, from the non—jabbed, to the single—jabbed and the double—jabbed, has to obey the same restrictions, which are due to ease in may. james reynolds, bbc news. we'll be speaking to the vaccines minister,

nadhim zahawi, at 7.30am. labour has said the prime minister can't be allowed to be "judge and jury" on his own ministerial standards amid continuing questions over how the refurbishment of his downing street flat was funded. yesterday the queen's former private secretary, lord geidt, was appointed as the government's new advisor on ministerial standards, but labour says he must be given the power to launch his own inquiries and reach binding conclusions without the prime minister's agreement. detectives are continuing to search woodland in kent for clues after a police community support officer was found murdered. the body ofjulia james, who was 53, was discovered in snowdown, near dover, on tuesday afternoon. 0ur reporter simonjones is at the scene. bring us right up to date with the investigation. it is bring us right up to date with the investigation.— investigation. it is a fast moving investigation, _ investigation. it is a fast moving investigation, but _ investigation. it is a fast moving investigation, but also, - investigation. it is a fast moving investigation, but also, a - investigation. it is a fast moving l investigation, but also, a difficult

were shattered by what has happened ever finding were shattered by what has happened everfinding it were shattered by what has happened ever finding it very tough. i were shattered by what has happened everfinding it very tough. i have also had that from people who lived locally, one man said that when he was in his teens, he is to get in trouble with the police so he came into contact with pcso james but said she was always reasonable, and she really wanted to help young people in the area. and certainly when she became a police community support officer back in 2007, she gave an interview to her local paper where she said she really wanted to enjoy being part of the local community, and she described herself as a people person. people in this area are very keen to hear exactly what happened. for police to make development in this case but as of yet, there have been no arrests. president biden has proposed $a trillion of reforms to jobs, education and social care in his first speech to a joint session of congress. marking his first 100 days in office, mr biden said "america is on the move again". we can get more on this

education, giving free preschool, health care, also free college as well. all of this coming with a very hefty price tag, $a trillion together, and if you add that to what was spent on the coronavirus spending bill, it comes up at around $6 trillion so quite a lot to spend and the republicans as you can imagine not pleased about that at all. . ~ imagine not pleased about that at all. ., ~ , ., imagine not pleased about that at all. . ~' , ., , imagine not pleased about that at all. ., ~ i. , . imagine not pleased about that at all. . ~ ,, , . ., all. thank you very much for brinuain all. thank you very much for bringing us _ all. thank you very much for bringing us up-to-date, - all. thank you very much for. bringing us up-to-date, lebo. northern ireland's democratic unionist party is beginning the process of selecting its next leader and a new first minister in the devolved government after arlene foster announced yesterday that she'll stand down. her decision followed a growing revolt among her own party. here's our ireland correspondent chris page. applause and cheering. arlene foster began her leadership with enthusiastic allies and electoral success. but yesterday, with her support base all but gone, she conceded her time at the top was over.

for me, the decision to enter politics was never about party or person, it was about speaking up for the voiceless and building a northern ireland which could prosper and be at peace within the united kingdom. unionists have felt northern ireland's place in the uk has been threatened by the fallout from brexit. a new trade border in the irish sea means there are checks on goods arriving from the rest of the uk. mrs foster's critics felt she should have opposed the arrangements more strongly, and strategically. an early favourite to replace her as first minister is edwin poots, who is currently in charge of agriculture in the devolved government. others being linked to the position of dup leader are two mps, sirjeffrey donaldson, and gavin robinson. the dup's main partner in the power—sharing stormont executive is the irish republican party, sinn fein. it said the main priority should be making sure the coalition works. we all have a job here.

politics must deliver for everybody and power—sharing must deliver for everybody. i'll play my part in that. i hope that the dup find a partner that also willing to do the same. this is a huge moment in the complex and contentious politics of ireland. whoever takes over as the leader of unionism will have a defining role in shaping its future. chris page, bbc news, belfast. tributes have been paid to the former us astronaut michael collins, who has died at the age of 90, 52 years after he was part of apollo 11's successful mission to the moon. his crewmate, buzz aldrin, said collins "carried us to new heights and the future". jonathan amos looks back at his life. neil armstrong, buzz aldrin and michael collins achieved something extraordinary that even now, 52 years later, still stirs a sense of wonder. armstrong is no longer with us, he died in 2012, and now comes

the news of the passing of another member of this remarkable apollo 11 trio. michael collins. his family and nasa have announced his death from cancer at the age of 90. collins was an integral part of the mission, but is often labelled the forgotten man because he didn't actually go down to the surface. he stayed in the command module circling the moon while armstrong and aldrin made their booymarks in the lunar soil. and aldrin made their bootmarks in the lunar soil. that he missed out was something he never complained about. i did not have the best seat of the three on apollo 11, but i can say in all honesty, i was thrilled with the seat that i did have. i knew that i had somehow lucked into being one third of a team that was going to do this wonderful thing. his responsibilities on that mission included making sure armstrong and aldrin could get home. if something had gone wrong during the ascent from the lunar surface, collins would be their only help. michael collins left nasa very

soon after coming home, although he continued in public service. his death comes just as the us space agency plans a return to the lunar surface with new rockets and space capsules. a new generation of astronauts will soon walk in apollo's footsteps. whether they can never recreate quite the aura that surrounded michael collins and his crew mates, though, is open to question. jonathan amos, bbc news. what an amazing life. in terms of achievements and a moment in time, that really is something. and achievements and a moment in time, that really is something.— that really is something. and people have very good _ that really is something. and people have very good things _ that really is something. and people have very good things to _ that really is something. and people have very good things to say - that really is something. and people have very good things to say about l have very good things to say about him, those who came across him in a life. if him, those who came across him in a life. , ., . him, those who came across him in a life. ,, ., ., him, those who came across him in a life. i. ., ., ., him, those who came across him in a life. ., ., ., . ., ., life. if you are of a certain age, carol, life. if you are of a certain age, carol. and _ life. if you are of a certain age, carol. and i _ life. if you are of a certain age, carol, and i am _ life. if you are of a certain age, carol, and i am allowed - life. if you are of a certain age, carol, and i am allowed to - life. if you are of a certain age, carol, and i am allowed to say| life. if you are of a certain age, - carol, and i am allowed to say that to you, that moment in time, it was quite extraordinary, wasn't it? yes, i think it is something we will always remember. and i think you are

putting you in the same bracket as me for a very good reason! we have been talking about how dry it is for the last few weeks, ben will be talking about the effect on farmers later on. in the last couple of days to some of us have seen some rain and some showers, and as we go through the next few days, we will continue the sunshine and showers, some will be heavy and thundery, and it is going to remain chilly in the next few days. this morning a scattering of showers, more developing through the day, a frosty start in the highlands, and we still have this north—easterly wind coming in from and north sea so still cool along the coastline. temperatures lower and accentuated by the wind, the cold feel. inland, 13 degrees but down on yesterday where temperatures were about 15. this evening and overnight, many of the showers will fade but we will hang on to some and we will see some more developing across the north west of

scotland. away from towns and cities it will be a cold night. temperatures you see here represent towns and cities, so a widespread frost once again. we continue to the end of april with a frost somewhere in the uk every single night. tomorrow it will be a frosty start to the day, also dry and sunny for many parts but showers getting going once again. especially in the south, more of a chance in southern areas tomorrow, cool along the north sea coastline but the wind will start to ease and then it will not be as windy thereafter. but on bank holiday monday it looks like some of us will see some heavy rain and also some strong wind. thank you, see you later on. the rain will be welcome for many. it's been a frosty april, and one of the driest on record, too, which is a tricky combination forfarmers. ben's on a farm in cheshire to tell us more. there are some real problems for

farmers? yes, interesting what carol was saying, temperatures, not .8 degrees here this morning, pretty chilly, not good news for farmers. —— here this morning, pretty chilly, not good news forfarmers. —— 0.8 degrees here this morning. combined with the cold and the dry, farms are looking a bit bare and if you have got a garden you will know how difficult it is to get anything to grow right now. rainfall has been pretty terrible so far this april, one of the driest in record, less than 10% of the normal rainfall you would expect. combined with the cold, it could be the coldest in about 60 years. the frosts that persist around the country means that stuff is simply not growing as it should. that means bad news for farmers because the things that they grow for their livestock, but also the crops that they could be going to sell. it means bad news for them. 0llie is a farmer here, good morning. i'm looking at this lovely field behind you here, it doesn't

"boris is the judge at own trial" is the daily mirror headline. the paper reports the prime minister's spokesman as saying mrjohnson would be "the ultimate arbiter" of a probe into how the work was funded. the times reports that there are concerns in downing street over what it calls the "paper trail" relating to the refurbishment. it also repeats claims that a conservative party official warned the prime minister last february, that plans to fund the project through donations were, quote — "madness". "glaciers melting twice as fast as 20 years ago" is one of the stories making the front page of the guardian, as it reports on the findings of a new comprehensive study of ice rivers.

and one of the trending stories on the bbc news website is about a new scheme launched by ebay to test whether expensive trainers are fakes. one of the methods involves sniffing the shoes. just thoughts, one story in the papers. if you ask the of people from the tv series the office, david brent, good or bad manager? bad. i will let that — brent, good or bad manager? bad. i will let that one _ brent, good or bad manager? e:c i will let that one set, good or bad managerfundamentally? bad. that manager fundamentally? bad. that would be the _ managerfundamentally? e:c that would be the general view. this new report has said that david brent style buses with cringeworthy banter and awful dance moves actually make the best managers. this is according to a new think tank. the hack future lab have looked at his traits, not only good for business, but they are vital. it says that their research found that bosses who put fun and

we did, yeah. we did. until the night laura died. laura was born with a myriad of health conditions but her parents say she was a gift. she went into sheffield's royal hallamshire hospital in 2016 for a routine eye operation. she never came home. she went 28 days without food. you can't live without food. for three and a half weeks she was in that hospital. you begged them to do something, didn't you? every day, we told them, this is not right, laura isn't eating anything. yeah, we did. but it was just as though we were invisible. theyjust didn't take any notice of what we said. we asked them every day. when is laura going to get some nutrition? no one can live without nutrition. and it still never came.

it's just so hard to take when you hear somebody say your daughter has died of malnutrition. the coroner said there had been a gross failure of care. when laura developed an infection and stopped eating in hospital, dietitians, physicians and pharmacists had all discussed options, but none had taken responsibility for a decision to fit a feeding tube. the coroner said laura and her parents had been overburdened and undervalued. her care had been unlawful. every day, we miss her. life is not the same without her. she was so precious to us. we loved her, really. a lot. we will never get over losing laura, never. she was our world. the hospital issued a statement saying... they acknowledged malnutrition played a part in laura's death but said laura was not starved.

do you remember this letter? yes, we do. you remember that, from sam? yeah. this letter was written in 2018, expressing concerns that laura had starved in hospital, written by a former sheffield physician. we passed this letter onto the coroner, and 16 months after laura died, he finally agreed to an inquest. i could see that something had gone terribly wrong. _ how there was this catalogue - of mistakes and miscommunications. but mostly culminating in this absolutely indefensible - lack of nutrition. what do you think of the fact that the trust tried to block your evidence being given? i want to say i'm disappointed, but i'm frankly ashamed. - that this has happened in my hospital. - i can only imagine how patricia and ken are feeling. _ are you still with them? i'm still with them, can i bring them into shot, is that 0k? yeah, yeah. hi, patricia, hi, ken.

oh, my heart went out to you this morning. i four and a half years, it's all come to light. i thank you is not enough. yes, a big thank you, sam. a really big thank you. ijust want to say that it's been such an honour for me to have | shared thatjourney that you had with laura. - and i will want to make sure that your story - is spread far and wide. thank you. a four and a half year fight for truth ended in a three week inquest, all of which was live tweeted by a woman who has made it herjob to cover the inquests of people with learning disabilities. there is a reason why you do this? there is. we know that learning disabled and autistic people die decades prematurely, decades before their peers. and we know that they're dying from things that are not natural. you know, it's not natural to starve to death in a hospital. it's not natural to die

from scabies, it's not natural to die from constipation or to drown in a bath. i'm so outraged that this just keeps happening. that we have report after report after report bemoaning the fact that people die prematurely, but nothing actually changes. the coroner said it was wrong laura's parents had had to fight to find the truth. we're so proud of her. it was an honour and a privilege to have been laura's parents. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. many thanks to laura's parents for talking to us. an nhs spokesperson called the coroner's findings "tragic" and said "in future, every person with a disability who comes into contact with the health service will have a flag on their digital records, so their care is bespoke to their needs." just coming up to 6:30am. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. the fire safety bill — the key piece of post grenfell tower legislation — becomes law today without the extra protections for flat owners that campaigners, peers and some mps had wanted. it means that building owners can pass on the costs of removing cladding to their leaseholder. those living in taller blocks have access to a government fund. the children's charity, the nspcc, says calls and messages to its helpline have risen to record levels during the pandemic. here in london, referals from the helpline to agencies like children 5 services and the police rose by 35%. the charity says lockdown has increased the risks of abuse and neglect. during the pandemic councils have been holding their meetings online but an attempt to get that to continue next month has been rejected by the high court. hertfordshire county council applied to extend the emergency measures — butjudges said it wasn't for the courts to set new legislation.

the local government association says it means many councils will now have to find big venues so they can meet outside safely. following a spate of stabbings in croydon, community groups have come together with the met police to organise a football tournament for young people. the games will be played at the warren — the met�*s training ground— and it's hoped it will help improve relationships between. about a year ago none of us would have interacted with the met at all. none of us would have been seen engaging with the metropolitan police, but the met reached out to us and were saying, "how can we engage with everyone?" we said, "listen, come and meet the young people where they are." they love football. let's make this happen. let's take a look at the travel situation now. it's all looking good so far on the tube, other than the usual closure of the waterloo and city line. south western trains to waterloo via woking are disrupted—

it's overrunning engineering work. this is how the a13 looks. londonbound traffic is bulding through barking. and in isleworth, the aa great west road is down to one lane westbound just before 0sterley station. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. the showers pulled eastwards over night and there is still plenty of cloud around this morning and a largely frost free start to the day, chilis towards western areas where temperatures are still quite close to freezing. as we head through the rest of the day, it is set to stay dry or mostly dry and there will be some sunny spells emerging. we have quite a chilly and noticeable north—easterly wind blowing. temperatures won't be as high as they have been, peaking at around 12 celsius for most of us and there is the chance we will see some april showers spring up here and there where we get the sunny spells as we head through the afternoon. some of the showers could turn out to be heavy

but they won't be everywhere. as we head through the evening overnight it is turning colder, there will be clear skies and the winds start to light and temperatures will get low enough for a touch of frost into friday morning. friday and saturday, expect to see some sunny spells but also some more april showers, this time with lighter winds that could be heavier and slow moving. there's more from me in half an hour. now it's back to naga and charlie. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on breakfast this morning. we'll hear about the scammers who are preying on the owners of stolen pets — giving them false hope and stealing their cash. five kilometres in less than 17 minutes? this girl can. we'll be asking 12—year—old emer mckee how she broke a world running record. # it's not unusual to

be loved by anyone... it's not unusual to have big stars on breakfast — and they don't come much bigger than sir tom jones, whose new album is about to top the chart. he'll bejoining us for a chat about his incredible career after half—eight. 60 million more doses of the pfizer vaccine have been ordered by the government, in time for a booster programme this autumn. it's thought the top—up jabs will be offered to the most vulnerable groups as extra protection against covid. we can discuss this now with one of our breakfast gps, doctor rosemary leonard. good morning to you. good morning. talk to us about _ good morning to you. good morning. talk to us about how— good morning to you. good morning. talk to us about how you _ good morning to you. good morning. talk to us about how you understand| talk to us about how you understand this booster vaccine scheme and how it will work? i this booster vaccine scheme and how it will work?— it will work? i imagine it will be liven out it will work? i imagine it will be given out in _ it will work? i imagine it will be given out in the _ it will work? i imagine it will be given out in the autumn - it will work? i imagine it will be given out in the autumn and . it will work? i imagine it will be j given out in the autumn and we it will work? i imagine it will be - given out in the autumn and we kind of assume it will be the same population as we normally give the

flu jab, but because it is the pfizer vaccine, flu jab, but because it is the pfizervaccine, it's flu jab, but because it is the pfizer vaccine, it's going to be a bit of a logistical challenge. we won't be able to give it at the same time as the flu jab and we will get it as we do now, in batches which have to be given in three days because it has a short shelf life and the other issue is at the moment we are asking patients we don't give anyone a covid vaccine if they had another vaccine in the previous seven days, so this is going to be quite a challenge, but we will get it done. ~ , ., quite a challenge, but we will get it done. ~ ., quite a challenge, but we will get itdone. ~ .. ., it done. when you say a challenge, is it achievable _ it done. when you say a challenge, is it achievable given _ it done. when you say a challenge, is it achievable given what - it done. when you say a challenge, is it achievable given what you - is it achievable given what you describe? people are well aware that this is when people get the flu jab, so is it achievable? this is when people get the flu 'ab, so is it achievable?i so is it achievable? yes, what we will have to _ so is it achievable? yes, what we will have to do _ so is it achievable? yes, what we will have to do is _ so is it achievable? yes, what we will have to do is space _ so is it achievable? yes, what we will have to do is space out - so is it achievable? yes, what we will have to do is space out the l so is it achievable? yes, what we | will have to do is space out the flu vaccines on the covid vaccines and what we will need from the central supply people is the dates they are giving us the vaccine. that is going to be essential so we can plan when we give them the covid vaccine and when we give them the flu vaccine and that is what will be really important. we need to have exact

dates. at the moment we are told that you can expect a drop of pfizer vaccine, as a delivery is known, sometime next week but we will need exact dates. d0 sometime next week but we will need exact dates. ,., , ., ., .,. sometime next week but we will need exact dates-— exact dates. do you have exact dates for the flu vaccine, _ exact dates. do you have exact dates for the flu vaccine, so _ exact dates. do you have exact dates for the flu vaccine, so you _ exact dates. do you have exact dates for the flu vaccine, so you know - for the flu vaccine, so you know precisely when that is in advance? so you would like to dovetail that in some way so you can plan for it? the flu vaccine is normally common in mid—september and the great thing about the flu vaccine is you can put them in the fridge. the limiting factor is fridge space, so we get deliveries once a month coming in and we start with the most vulnerable, as we have done with the covid vaccine, starting with the most vulnerable and work through september, october most vulnerable and work through september, 0ctoberand most vulnerable and work through september, october and november, most vulnerable and work through september, 0ctoberand november, so it will be a matter of dovetailing the two together. figs it will be a matter of dovetailing the two together.— it will be a matter of dovetailing the two together. as you understand it, the the two together. as you understand it. the vaccine _ the two together. as you understand it, the vaccine roll-out _ the two together. as you understand it, the vaccine roll-out has _ the two together. as you understand it, the vaccine roll-out has been - the two together. as you understand it, the vaccine roll-out has been a i it, the vaccine roll—out has been a huge success. is it your assumption that by the time the booster

vaccines are given to people, those that need it, those deemed to be vulnerable everyone who wants it will have had their two jibes by then? are you seeing that as one process entirely complete and then possibly moving on to those who need the booster?— the booster? yes, i think it's entirely achievable. - the booster? yes, i think it's entirely achievable. we - the booster? yes, i think it's entirely achievable. we are l the booster? yes, i think it's- entirely achievable. we are going fast and inviting everyone over a2 is being invited next week and then it will be a0, a1 and maybe even going down into the 30s so we are moving fast and getting second doses out quickly, so absolutely, because we are now in a and we should have been giving all the second doses, i would have hoped, by mid august. tiara would have hoped, by mid august. two thirds we understand of adults in england have been given a first dose of the vaccine. when you are talking to people, is that reassuring? what are people saying to you about how it is changing how either they are

feeling or what they are doing? in general people are delighted and they see this as a route back to normality and that is the message we need to get out of the younger people as we move down the younger age groups where there hasn't been quite the enthusiasm that the high level of enthusiasm that we saw back in january level of enthusiasm that we saw back injanuary and level of enthusiasm that we saw back in january and february with all of the very vulnerable elderly people. but this is the route back to normal life again, and in general people are delighted to have had the vaccine. they leave the room having had a job in their arm with a broad smile on theirface. lode had a job in their arm with a broad smile on their face.— had a job in their arm with a broad smile on their face. we were hearing esterda smile on their face. we were hearing yesterday at — smile on their face. we were hearing yesterday at the _ smile on their face. we were hearing yesterday at the press _ smile on their face. we were hearing yesterday at the press briefing - smile on their face. we were hearing yesterday at the press briefing in - yesterday at the press briefing in relation to covid the concern about the possibility of a third wave. there is different terminology around that, i know but there is still a genuine concern that regardless of the success of the vaccine programme, and also the numbers, the number of infections and deaths, there is a real concern

that something might change. yes, there is. hopefully the virus won't change and hopefully will not mutate, but we are not going to have the level of herd immunity where this virus will have completely gone away. it will still be around. people who have not been vaccinated will still be vulnerable and there will still be vulnerable and there will still be those out there who get covid and it is going to be with us in the same way the flu virus is always with us every winter and these types of viruses, they thrive more in cold weather, so we need to expect to have more cases come next autumn but the more people that we can vaccinate and the more people who come forward when invited for vaccination, the less likely a severe third wave will be. one last question. we know there are 60 million doses orders for the bhutta —— booster doses, but the virus itself, covid might change and there could be different variants. how do we match up ordering a product that

exists now for one problem, and how do we know that that will be able to protect people when the time comes in autumn? it is protect people when the time comes in autumn? , ., ., , in autumn? it is a thing that is concerning- — in autumn? it is a thing that is concerning. at _ in autumn? it is a thing that is concerning. at the _ in autumn? it is a thing that is concerning. at the moment i in autumn? it is a thing that is l concerning. at the moment they in autumn? it is a thing that is - concerning. at the moment they have all of the pfizer vaccine, and i would imagine behind the scenes the scientists are working very hard on tweaking the vaccine to match the variance as they emerge. this is what happens every year with the flu vaccine and it changes as the virus changes and i am sure that in the laboratories there are scientists working on this so that the vaccines can be tweaked as if the virus mutates and changes and we get different strains.— mutates and changes and we get different strains. rosemary, good to catch u- different strains. rosemary, good to catch up with — different strains. rosemary, good to catch up with you — different strains. rosemary, good to catch up with you and _ different strains. rosemary, good to catch up with you and thank- different strains. rosemary, good to catch up with you and thank you - different strains. rosemary, good to catch up with you and thank you very much. that's doctor rosemary leonard. mike is here. talking about manchester city, doing well, but i don't you should rest on your laurels. history tells you when you're away

league —— awaiting, history says you go through, that is what the stats tell us but manchester city won't care about that because thatjinx is the whole thing and psg are good away from home. this was a big second—half performance for manchester city and becoming champions of europe is the dream that manchester city have been chasing for a decade and they have the advantage going to next week's home leg of their champions league semifinal, trying to reach the final for the first time and they beat psg 2-1 for the first time and they beat psg 2—1 in the french capital. natalie pirks was watching. both have middle eastern owners, both have billions in the bank, both have never won the champions league. tojoin europe's elite, city would need to stop these two, the unplayable pair and neymar�*s warning came early. it's neymar with a chance. but mere moments later, city's defenders were caught too busy worrying about the wrong brazilian. it is marquinhos who scores. psg were looking right at home, but with little threat up front, city simply had to take their chances.

frustrated much? time for a change. and in the second half, city dug deep and put their trust in de bruyne. city had their premier league swagger back, now outfoxing paris at every turn. it is mahrez, and it is another one. mind the gap at the back. frustration and petulance sank in for psg. things went from bad to worse. with two away goals, city are in the driving seat. the match dubbed el gasico lived up to its billing. also potentially closer to an all english champions league final. meanwhile, real madrid star marcelo could be forced to miss the second leg of their semi—final with chelsea next week because he's been called up to monitor a polling station during local elections in the spanish capital. the defender has been called up for election—day duties on tuesday, with the return leg against chelsea, in london, the day after. real madrid say they are "analysing

the situation" to see if "any regulation will let him travel with the team". arsenal won 2—0 at home to west ham in the women's super league, to strengthen their grip on the final champions league spot. dutch striker vivianne miedema scored the opener, before skipper kim little made it 2—0. the win leaves the gunners five points adrift of second—placed manchester city while west ham drop a place to 10th. athletes will have covid tests each day at this summer's 0lympics. they also, won't be able to use public transport — this is all part of, what they call, a playbook that's been released by the ioc. japan is in a state of emergency until at least the 11th of may, after a rise in coronavirus infections, but the ioc says, it still believes it can run the games smoothly, with the help of the 60 pages of guidance, released yesterday. the semi—finals of the world snooker championship start today after a dramatic set of last eight matches concluded last

night, as the world number onejudd trump, was knocked out by shaun murphy. trump could have taken the match to a deciding frame, but missed that red, and murphy finished up winning by 13 frames to 11. he'll play kyren wilson in the last four. you are up—to—date and i will see you later on. here on breakfast we often celebrate that fact that we're a nation of dog—lovers. we know that — for so many people — dogs are part of the family and they'd do anything for them. sadly, some criminals know that, too — and they've started exploiting it by preying on desperate owners whose dogs have gone missing, giving them false hope and fleecing them of thousands of pounds. one woman who fell victim to the scammers was sharon. she's been telling her story to ellie price.

he went missing on the wednesday night and on the friday evening, two hours after i finished putting the posters up, i had a phone call from a gentleman. he said to me, i've got your dog. and i'm leaving the area tonight, so if you want him back, you've got to give me £1000. if you don't give it to me, he'll go to the bait farm. when six—year—old ronnie went missing, sharon put up posters locally and online. she received around 50 calls over ten days from the same scammers, who claimed they had her dog. they kept demanding more. in the end she paid out almost £2,500. i would have given anything to have him back and i truly believed they had him. and although loads of people told me that they were scammers and they hadn't, ijust believed. and he kept promising sharon he would return ronnie.

they phoned again and he just said, we haven't got your dog, we never had your dog, have a nice life and laughed and put the phone down. it was actually part of my pension i used. and i sort of think, well, there are times, i know it sounds really pathetic, but there are times when i think i don't want to carry on because i can't live waking up every single morning thinking about where he is. going to bed every night thinking about, is he cold, is he frightened? with people spending more time at home over several lockdowns, there's been a rise in demand for dogs. a rise in the cost of dogs, and therefore, a rise in dog thefts. we have heard from a number of people whose dogs have gone missing and a scammer calling them has used the same tactics and script as they did with sharon.

talking to sharon today, her story was just unbelievable. wayne may from the dog loss website, which helps reunite owners with their lost dogs, told me he's in touch with 19 different police forces. as an organisation we've experienced one or two scam callers each month. over the last two weeks, we've experienced 117 calls to owners. they're thieves, they're stealing your money. they're capitalising on your grief. they're not taking into consideration at all how these people are feeling when their dogs and their pets are being stolen. and they haven't got the dog? they haven't got the dog, no. i'm not aware of any case at the moment where someone has paid a ransom, or they've done a direct transfer for their dogs, and the dogs have ever been returned. fraud specialists are looking into sharon's case. she says she's handed over the scammers' bank details, and even a phone number. six weeks on, ronnie has still not come home.

itjust made what was an awful, awfultime, losing him, just, it was like somebody had opened a wound and just kept on just digging and digging and digging. sorry. the distress sharon is experiencing so many— the distress sharon is experiencing so many people can relate to. it is cruel what — so many people can relate to. it is cruel what is _ so many people can relate to. it 3 cruel what is being done. thank you, sharon, for sharing your story with our reporter and we do hope that ronnie is safely returned. ronnie is still missing as we speak this morning, so we wish the family the best and she kept saying that it is silly, i am sorry, but it is way up and it is a kind of torture that people are doing. —— but it is real. time for the weather. it's turned really chilly. we had a couple of weeks of sunshine to enjoy but there is frost on the ground as we can see

and people are desperate for rain, the farmers, as we were talking about with ben. there is rain in the forecast and some of us have seen it on some of us are yet to see it, but it is certainly in the forecast but before the british forecast i want to show you some amazing pictures taken in texas and oklahoma of some giant hail. it's been reported to be the size of a baseball. what has happened is severe thunderstorms have developed along a cold front moving south—east across the states. severe thunderstorms can have a very strong updraughts which can keep the hailstones in the air for longer which allows them to grow bigger. but when the updraught cannot support them any more, basically they are to heavy, they fall to the ground and we see like that. closer to home, there could be some hailstones in the forecast in the next few days but this morning it is a frosty start once again, but these are the kinds of temperatures that we have at the moment, so many below

freezing and some of us are just above freezing but wherever you are you will notice it is a cold start in over the next few days we are looking at sunshine and showers and feeling chilly, but the wind, by the end of tomorrow will certainly have started to ease, particularly down the north sea coastline. this area of low pressure is what brought the rain yesterday across southern counties and it's moving away today and behind it we are opening the gates to much colder, arctic air across the whole of the uk and some of us have been cold already this week, particularly down the north sea coastline and it will be told again for you today and we can see a fairfew showers again for you today and we can see a fair few showers developing as we go through the course of the day, but in between there will be a lot of sunshine around, so yesterday in the south where it was cloudy and wet, it will be brighter but we are not immune to the showers. these are the average wind speeds, so not particularly windy but any gusts will be stronger than this and it is coming from a cold direction. eight,

nine, ten down the east coast and we are looking at 11 to 13 moving inland but temperatures down a bit on the 15 some of us all yesterday. relieving an overnight many of the showers will fade and we will be left with a few and some more developing across the highlands of the western isles but once again under clear skies it's going to be cold enough for some frost and quite a widespread frost, which means every night in april, this april, somewhere in the uk has recorded a frost. tomorrow we start on a cold and frosty note and there will be a lot of dry weather and a bit of sunshine and some showers from the word go, but we will see further showers developed through the course of tomorrow and with the lighter winds, they are likely to be slow—moving and again there's the potential for them slow—moving and again there's the potentialfor them not slow—moving and again there's the potential for them notjust slow—moving and again there's the potential for them not just to slow—moving and again there's the potentialfor them notjust to be heavy but also thundery and we will seek more across southern england than we are likely to do today. temperatures six in lerwick and 1a in london and it should be 11 in the north to 15 in the south at this time of yearand

north to 15 in the south at this time of year and if it's more significant rain you are looking for, it looks like bank holiday monday, if you're celebrating the bank holiday, we are looking at some rain coming in from the atlantic which could be heavily accompanied by strong winds. which could be heavily accompanied by strong winds-— by strong winds. carroll, thank you. we will see — by strong winds. carroll, thank you. we will see you _ by strong winds. carroll, thank you. we will see you later. _ it's exactly ten years today since two billion people around the world tuned in to watch william and kate — the duke and duchess of cambridge — get married at westminster abbey. street parties and celebrations took place across the uk to mark the event. graham satchell has been talking to people about their memories of the big day. april 29, 2011, exactly ten years ago, and the marriage of prince william to kate middleton. the wedding watched by an estimated 2 billion people worldwide. across the country, in time—honoured fashion, the great british street party.

jason, you need to stop here. jack was just eight at the time. i thought i was going to hyperventilate. he helped organise his street party, doing his best not to get too stressed. calm down, you're going to hyperventilate! it was such a good day, like, everyone was out on the street, we had auctions going on, raffles, cake going out to everyone. the royal wedding is all royal, isn't it, everyone wanted to get involved. we was all sat in the front room and the atmosphere was just so happy and everyone was happy for the wedding. it was literally like a fairy tale, it was, honestly. what has it been like for you today? fantastic day. i'm caroline beddoe, this is my husband trevor, and we got married ten years ago on the 29th of april. it was pretty magical, i think, because there was all the hype of the royal wedding.

there had been a big lead up to it to the day, and we watched the wedding. i am a royalist, trevor quite likes the royal family as well but i am so patriotic. and just loved the moment, watching kate, her dress, her hair and her make—up, absolutely everything was flawless. she looked beautiful. and then we just had a wonderful day. beautiful service, super reception in the afternoon, and a very good party at night time. sheila thomas celebrating in style at a party in devon. it was such good fun. everybody bought food and drink and all the children, just, all the neighbours were invited. couldn't invite all of dawlish. just the neighbours from king street, queen street, regent street and albert street. because that's where we live, in the royal roads. that beautiful lace bodice that came just under the bust.

sheila is a former royal seamstress and has made dresses for the queen. her street party was shown on the bbc. the day after something extraordinary happened. i saw sheila on television. i looked her number up in a telephone directory. she asked me if i'm sheila thomas, and i said, yes. and she said, do you know who i am? and i said, you sound like estelle somebody, who i haven't seen in 55 years. and the rest is history. we got together again! she hasn't changed a bit. what a fib! old friends brought together after half a century by a royal wedding. much has happened to the royal family in the last ten years, but in what was an age of austerity, the royal wedding a decade ago was a moment of escape and celebration. graham satchell, bbc news.

ten yea rs ten years ago. time flies, doesn't it. amazing. what were you doing on the day of the wedding? we'd love to hear your stories — and see your pictures. you can email us at bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk or tweet using the hashtag "bbc brea kfast" it is these big events that take you back and think, i was doing that. maybe that is what happened. little markers along the way. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. the fire safety bill, the key piece of post grenfell tower legislation, becomes law today but without the extra protections for flat owners that campaigners, peers and some mps had wanted.

it means building owners can pass on the costs of removing cladding to their leaseholder. there's been a long—running parliamentary battle over who should pay for remedial work when a building is declared unsafe. the children's charity the nspcc says calls and messages to its helpline have risen to record levels during the pandemic. here in london, referals from the helpline to agencies like children 5 services and the police rose by 35%. the charity says lockdown has increased the risks of abuse and neglect. the most frequently raised concern was about adult or parental behaviour, including their mental health. following a spate of stabbings in croydon, community groups have come together with the met police to organise a football tournament for young people. the games will be played at the warren, the met�*s training ground, and it's hoped it will help improve relationships between young people and officers. about a year ago none of us would have interacted with the met at all. none of us would have been seen engaging with the metropolitan police, but the met reached out

to us and were saying, "how can we engage with everyone?" we said, "listen, come and meet the young people where they are." they love football. let's make this happen. a dad from south east london has completed a six year challenge to find the best car parking space at his local supermarket. gareth wild from bromley has tried out every spot at his sainsbury's store, and shared his spreadsheet findings on social media. why? he says he wanted to make his weekly shop less mundane. let's take a look at the travel situation now. it's all looking good so far on the tube other than the usual closure of the waterloo and city line. south western trains to waterloo via woking are disrupted, it's overrunning engineering work. this is how the a13 looks, london—bound traffic is bulding through barking. and in isleworth, the aa great west road is down to one lane westbound just before 0sterley station. now the weeather with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. the showers pulled eastwards over night and there is still plenty

of cloud around this morning and a largely frost free start to the day, chilly towards western areas where temperatures are still quite close to freezing. as we head through the rest of the day, it is set to stay dry or mostly dry and there will be some sunny spells emerging. we have quite a chilly and noticeable north—easterly wind blowing. temperatures won't be as high as they have been, peaking at around 12 celsius for most of us and there is the chance we will see some april showers spring up here and there where we get the sunny spells as we head through the afternoon. some of the showers could turn out to be heavy but they won't be everywhere. as we head through the evening overnight it is turning colder, there will be clear skies and the winds start to light and temperatures will get low enough for a touch of frost into friday morning. friday and saturday, expect to see some sunny spells but also some more april showers, this time with lighter winds that could be heavier and slow moving. there's more from me in half an hour. plenty more on our website.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today. stocking up for a booster in the autumn. the government orders an extra 60 million doses of the pfizer covid vaccine. a murder investigation begins after the body ofjulia james, a police community support officer, is found in woodland in kent. labour call on borisjohnson to appoint a fully "independent" person to oversee ministers' conduct including his own. i guess you're the only person around who doesn't have tv coverage of the scene. that's all right, i don't mind a bit. up in the stars but out of the limelight. michael collins, the third member of the apollo 11 crew, dies at the age of 90. it's spring time in paris for manchester city. their hopes of reaching a first ever

champions league final, by this second free kick and a crucial away win, in their semi final. 0ver over the next few days it will be a mixture of sunshine and showers. some will be heavy and thundery and slow—moving. still feeling chilly, not just slow—moving. still feeling chilly, notjust by day but once again we will see overnight frosts. all of the details coming up later in the programme. it's thursday the 29th of april. our top story. the uk has secured a further 60 million doses of the pfizer—biontech coronavirus jab as part of a plan to roll out a booster programme in the autumn. the health secretary matt hancock said the aim of the extra jabs was to "keep us safe and free here while we get this disease under control across the world". james reynolds reports. right now, all adults in the uk wait their turn to get two coronavirus jabs. but the government is now preparing

a possible third dose, a booster in the autumn. it's an insurance policy for the most vulnerable. i'm delighted to be able to tell you that we have secured a further 60 million doses of the pfizer biontech vaccine, that will be used alongside others as part of our booster shots programme later this year. and that is all about protecting the progress that we've made. the current two dose strategy gives strong protection, but scientists don't yet know for how long. so, as winter approaches, the booster, or third jab, will be offered. it's not yet clear if this third jab will simply be another dose of the current shots, or whether the booster will be tweaked to deal with new variants of the virus. as infections decline, life has begun to open up. 0ne adult in five in the uk is now fully vaccinated. but this country isn't

following the us in allowing fully vaccinated people to meet up indoors. i know this feels tantalisingly, extremely close, and it is going to be frustrating at times for people. particularly those who have had their two doses. but we just need to make sure we don't have to go backwards again on any of this. that means that everyone, from the non—jabbed, to the single—jabbed and the double—jabbed, has to obey the same restrictions, which are due to ease in may. james reynolds, bbc news. we'll be speaking to the vaccines minister, nadhim zahawi, at 7.30am. if you have any thoughts and you want to get in touch, you have about 20 minutes to do so. labour has said the prime minister can't be allowed to be "judge and jury" on his own ministerial standards amid continuing questions

over how the refurbishment of his downing street flat was funded. yesterday the queen's former private secretary, lord geidt, was appointed as the government's new advisor on ministerial standards but labour says he needs more power and independence. 0ur chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. so, adam, take a little bit of a breath at this moment in time. people might be asking themselves, what is being investigated, by whom, and what is the problem?— and what is the problem? yeah, a lot of questions — and what is the problem? yeah, a lot of questions that _ and what is the problem? yeah, a lot of questions that we _ and what is the problem? yeah, a lot of questions that we have _ and what is the problem? yeah, a lot of questions that we have been - of questions that we have been discussing for a long time now. so, the prime minister says that he funded the refurbishment to his flat, which is actually above number 11 downing st, personally. the accusation made against him by labour and much of the newspaper and the media that previously, it was funded on a temporary basis may be by a loan or a donation from either

the conservative party or a donor to the conservative party or a donor to the conservative party or a donor to the conservative party. and it went through the conservative party. that is what the electoral commission are investigating. however, the electoral commission are not investigating the prime minister, because the prime minister is an mp, which means he is subject to the scrutiny procedures in the houses of parliament instead which are different. the electoral commission are looking at the conservative party. howeverthey are looking at the conservative party. however they have the power to look at the prime minister's e—mails or interview the prime minister if they wanted. separately yesterday, at the same time all of this was happening, the prime minister announced that lord geidt would take over as his independent adviser on ministerial standards. at theissue adviser on ministerial standards. at the issue is, just how independent is lord geidt? you can suggest that somebody gets investigated to the prime minister but it will still be “p prime minister but it will still be up to the prime minister whether that investigation goes ahead or not. and for people like the labour party for example, that means he is

just not independent enough. thank ou ve just not independent enough. thank you very much- _ detectives are continuing to search woodland in kent for clues after a police community support officer was found murdered. the body ofjulia james, who was 53, was discovered in snowdown, near dover, on tuesday afternoon. 0ur reporter simonjones is at the scene. this investigation is moving quite quickly, isn't it? this investigation is moving quite quickly. isn't it?— quickly, isn't it? yes, it is a complex — quickly, isn't it? yes, it is a complex investigation - quickly, isn't it? yes, it is a complex investigation but l quickly, isn't it? yes, it is a i complex investigation but also quickly, isn't it? yes, it is a - complex investigation but also a difficult investigation for kent police because they are looking into the murder of one of their own officers. julia james left her home on tuesday afternoon, she went out to walk her dogs in the fields around here, but her body was found just after apm in the afternoon. police say they are still working to establish the circumstances surrounding her death, having initially said it was a suspicious, late yesterday they said this was a murder investigation. that has prompted a huge amount of police

activity. we saw officers carrying out searches around the fields here, cordoning off a lot of areas, carrying out door—to—door inquiries. in the local community there is a great amount of shock shared by the home secretary, who says she sends her condolences to julia james' friends, family and colleagues. thank you. india has recorded another day of record covid deaths and cases, with the total number of infections reaching 18 million. nearly 205,000 people have now died from the virus as the health system struggles under enormous pressure. we can now speak to our india correspondent arunoday mukharji. he is in india for us this morning. the statistics is one thing, the images we have seen are very harrowing, as up harrowing, as —— images we have seen are very harrowing, as —— bring us up to date with the situation. the harrowing, as -- bring us up to date with the situation.— with the situation. the crisis continues — with the situation. the crisis continues and _ with the situation. the crisis continues and the _ with the situation. the crisis continues and the numbers | with the situation. the crisis - continues and the numbers continue to soar. 0ver continues and the numbers continue to soar. over the last 2a hours,

india has now recorded 380,000 fresh coronavirus cases, 300 —— 3600 deaths. the bigger worry is that these numbers might not be capturing these numbers might not be capturing the real picture because a lot of people have been talking about how they are not getting appointments are testing centres. even if they do, it happens after two to three days and the reports are coming even later so there is a major lag between the numbers you see and the action infections which are piling up action infections which are piling up as well. simultaneously the government has been trying to do its best to ensure there is a smooth supply of oxygen and basic medical facilities, also attempting to open up facilities, also attempting to open up the vaccination programme for all those above the years of 18. but on the ground, there continues to be a shortage reported. many individual states have said they may not be able to expand the vaccine roll—out starting on the 1st of may as is promised by the government because the worry is, there are not enough vaccines at the moment. they have been trying to vaccine those above a5 years of age but to open it up to a larger population is a difficult

situation. coupled with that, the numbers continue to rise. scientists say india is still nowhere close to its peak. say india is still nowhere close to its eak. . ~ , . its peak. thank you very much, arunoday- _ president biden has marked his first 100 days in office by proposing a $a trillion package of reforms tojobs, education and social care. he wants to pay for the reforms by reversing some of the tax cuts for wealthy citizens brought in by donald trump. president biden also praised the us vaccination programme and its economic recovery since the start of the year. northern ireland's democratic unionist party is beginning the process of selecting its next leader, and a new first minister in the devolved government. arlene foster announced she was standing down from both jobs yesterday after more than 20 dup assembly members and four mps signed a letter expressing no confidence in her leadership. the royal mint has struck a new coin but we wouldn't recommend trying to toss it.

it's big, right? we can see that. it weighs 10 kilograms — that's 22 pounds — and is nearly eight inches wide. it looks bigger than that. the value of that coin you can see there, the big coin, £10,000. that of that coin you can see there, the big coin, £10,000.— big coin, £10,000. that is a lot of poundage- — the coin took a00 hours to make and is the final piece in a collection inspired by the statues which lined the queen's route to westminster abbey at her coronation. it isa it is a rather beautiful thing. i like it. it is a rather beautiful thing. i like it- do _ it is a rather beautiful thing. i like it. do you _ it is a rather beautiful thing. i like it. do you have _ it is a rather beautiful thing. i like it. do you have pockets l it is a rather beautiful thing. i i like it. do you have pockets big enou:h like it. do you have pockets big enough for _ like it. do you have pockets big enough for that? _ like it. do you have pockets big enough for that? there's - like it. do you have pockets big - enough for that? there's something, i think, enough for that? there's something, i think. there — enough for that? there's something, i think, there is _ enough for that? there's something, i think, there is really... _ enough for that? there's something, i think, there is really... i— enough for that? there's something, i think, there is really... i like - i think, there is really... i like that. you know sometimes you see really valuable notes, doesn't mean that much to me. it is big and it has a value. it that much to me. it is big and it has a value-— has a value. it is big and shiny, why wouldn't — has a value. it is big and shiny, why wouldn't you _ has a value. it is big and shiny, why wouldn't you like - has a value. it is big and shiny, why wouldn't you like it? - has a value. it is big and shiny, why wouldn't you like it? what| has a value. it is big and shiny, i why wouldn't you like it? what do ou why wouldn't you like it? what do you think? _

i like it and i would like it as well! sling it my way! good morning. it is going to be a frosty one again, continuing with sunshine and showers, some of them will be heavy and thundery and slow—moving, still below average temperatures for the time of year. the continuing journey of this rain is towards the low countries this morning, we have a plethora of showers today, more developing over the course of the day, in the north and east of scotland, they could be wintry at the top of the mountain. we could hear the odd rumble of thunder. northern ireland and northern england have showers and sunshine in between, and for the rest of england and wales, brighter than yesterday, more sunshine but not bone dry. it is a cold start as well and a frosty one. through the day you can see how the showers continue to develop. a

fair bit of sunshine around and are keen north—easterly wind coming off of the north sea so feeling a bit nippy if you are going to be skipping down the shoreline today. eight or 9 degrees for some, inland, 12 or 13 degrees. temperatures down on yesterday, in some parts of the south—east had 15 degrees. a lot of the showers will fade overnight but not all of them, further showers developing across the north west of scotland, and once again it is going to be a cold night. with a widespread frost. these are the temperatures you can expect in towns and cities. in rural areas, lower than this. continuing with sunshine and showers into monday and it looks like we will see some rain and strong winds. thank you, see you later. let's go back to our top story. let's return now to those calls for the government's new advisor on ministerial standards to be given additional powers and independence. they say it's not fair

for borisjohnson to be what they call "judge and jury" on his own conduct following continued questions over how his downing street flat was funded. the shadow minister for social care, liz kendall, joins us from westminster. thank you very much for your time this morning. why do you want changes to this roll, lord kate has been —— lord geidt has been appointed to, and you have not cold for this before? this appointed to, and you have not cold for this before?— for this before? this has got to chance. for this before? this has got to change- all _ for this before? this has got to change. all the _ for this before? this has got to change. all the things - for this before? this has got to change. all the things we - for this before? this has got to change. all the things we have | for this before? this has got to - change. all the things we have seen over tory sleaze over the last few months, the questions that remain unanswered about who paid for the prime minister's flat refurbishment, we need an independent process to look into that. let's not forget that the last independent adviser on ministerial standards a chilly quit because the prime minister overruled his finding that priti patel had bullied staff. the new one, only just been appointed because the prime minister is under pressure,

doesn't have the power to even initiate investigations. it isn't just that boris johnson would initiate investigations. it isn't just that borisjohnson would be marking his own homework, he is deciding he doesn't have any to do at all. the reason this is so important is we have got to have trust in our democracy and ministerial standards and i'm afraid so far what the government is doing is not good enough. you so far what the government is doing is not good enough.— is not good enough. you are saying the role was _ is not good enough. you are saying the role was proper _ is not good enough. you are saying the role was proper under - is not good enough. you are saying the role was proper under a - is not good enough. you are saying the role was proper under a labourj the role was proper under a labour government, but isn't proper under a conservative government? i government, but isn't proper under a conservative government?— conservative government? i think needs to change, _ conservative government? i think needs to change, they _ conservative government? i think needs to change, they need - conservative government? i think needs to change, they need to i conservative government? i think needs to change, they need to be more independent. —— i think things need to change. we need to have trust in our democracy... truths; need to change. we need to have trust in our democracy... why was this role 0k _ trust in our democracy... why was this role ok under _ trust in our democracy... why was this role ok under a _ trust in our democracy... why was this role ok under a labour - this role 0k under a labour government? we this role ok under a labour government?— this role ok under a labour government? this role ok under a labour covernment? ~ . , ., government? we have seen that we cannot aet government? we have seen that we cannot get to _ government? we have seen that we cannot get to the _ government? we have seen that we cannot get to the bottom _ government? we have seen that we cannot get to the bottom of- government? we have seen that we cannot get to the bottom of some i government? we have seen that we| cannot get to the bottom of some of these crucial questions. you actually paid for the prime minister's flat refurbishment? —— who paid for it? where did the money come from? we haven't had the register of ministerial interests

published since july register of ministerial interests published sincejuly last register of ministerial interests published since july last year. i think at published sincejuly last year. i think at a time when people published since july last year. i think at a time when people have gone through so much, so much both in their lives and livelihoods in this pandemic, they want to know the proper processes are in place to make sure public money is spent wisely and that ministers don't have a conflict of interest. we don't want people to be doing each other favours as we have seen so much with this government. that's why we need a proper change in the process. head of various elections _ a proper change in the process. head of various elections in _ a proper change in the process. head of various elections in a _ a proper change in the process. head of various elections in a few do you think this is really what the electorate wants to be hearing from the labour party? i electorate wants to be hearing from the labour party?— the labour party? i think people want to hear— the labour party? i think people want to hear about _ the labour party? i think people want to hear about all _ the labour party? i think people want to hear about all sorts - the labour party? i think people want to hear about all sorts of. want to hear about all sorts of things, how our councils and mayors will be improving their lives, growing the economy, investing in public services. but i do think they also want to have trust in government, that there is honesty and integrity. just look at the issues we have seen around ppe. companies given millions of pounds worth of contracts, many of them with links to the conservative

party, and ending up finding out that many of those masks don't give the right protection. we have to be strong custodians of public finances. that's why i think these issues are so important. just ahead ofthe issues are so important. just ahead of the local — issues are so important. just ahead of the local elections, _ issues are so important. just ahead of the local elections, how - of the local elections, how successful do you think the labour party is going to be? i'm looking at the polling at the moment, and for march 2021, labour, 36%, conservatives, a3%. that has dropped since october which was the highest point for keir starmer and labour at 39, at level with the conservatives, not a popular party at the moment and you have elections coming up after losing a significant number of seats in the last general election. i'm under no illusions about how tough these elections will be and we will be fighting for every single vote. but this is a choice between a party that will protect people's

jobs, boost the economy, back the nhs in a decent pay rise to nhs staff, those are the things that will matter to people and that will be a critical part of why people vote on may the 6th. ii be a critical part of why people vote on may the 6th.— be a critical part of why people vote on may the 6th. if that is what matters, vote on may the 6th. if that is what matters. why _ vote on may the 6th. if that is what matters. why did — vote on may the 6th. if that is what matters, why did the _ vote on may the 6th. if that is what matters, why did the leader- vote on may the 6th. if that is what matters, why did the leader of- vote on may the 6th. if that is whatj matters, why did the leader of your party spend all his time in the latest prime minister's questions session is talking about sleaze are not talking about those issues which you say are important to the electorate? he you say are important to the electorate?— you say are important to the electorate? . , ., ,, ., ., electorate? he has talked about how im ortant a electorate? he has talked about how important a pay _ electorate? he has talked about how important a pay rises _ electorate? he has talked about how important a pay rises day _ electorate? he has talked about how important a pay rises day after - important a pay rises day after day... important a pay rises day after da ., ,. ., important a pay rises day after day... not yesterday, a few days before a local _ day... not yesterday, a few days before a local election. - day... not yesterday, a few days before a local election. when i day... not yesterday, a few days| before a local election. when the prime minister _ before a local election. when the prime minister has _ before a local election. when the prime minister has refused - before a local election. when the prime minister has refused to - before a local election. when the prime minister has refused to be| prime minister has refused to be clear about who paid for the flat refurbishment, the conservative party has not made clear where the money has come from, there has been no publication of the register of ministers interests, we have to get to the bottom of it. it's not right that we haven't got complete openness, and honesty and

transparency here. we have to have trust in the democratic process and keir starmer was absolutely right to press the prime minister on that. liz kendall, shadow minister for social care, thank you very much. 17 minutes past seven. he was part of the most celebrated space mission in history, apollo 11. but the us astronaut michael collins, who died yesterday, was the least famous of the three men who made it to the moon and back in 1969. maybe that's because he never set foot on the moon — his job was to stay in the command module. but he was also a naturally shy and retiring hero who never relished the limelight. let's take a look at his pioneering role in making history with apollo 11. we crew felt the weight of the world on our shoulders. we knew that everyone would be looking at us, friend orfoe. and we wanted everyone would be looking at us, friend or foe. and we wanted to do the best we possibly could, put our

best foot forward, and that required a great deal of work on our part. i trusted my surroundings. i was very happy to be where i was, and to see this complicated mission unfold. if there's any part of the flight of apollo 11 that sticks in my memory, it is the memory of that little tiny thing that you could its gear with your thumbnail, thing that you could its gear with yourthumbnail, blue thing that you could its gear with your thumbnail, blue and white, the blue of the ocean and the white of the clouds, i will remember that all of my life. i the clouds, i will remember that all of m life. . . the clouds, i will remember that all ofm life. ,, �* the clouds, i will remember that all ofm life. of my life. i guess you're about the only person — of my life. i guess you're about the only person around _ of my life. i guess you're about the only person around that _ of my life. i guess you're about the

parents are becoming so enamoured by the story of the apollo missions and apollo 11 specifically. but i remember always, apollo 11 specifically. but i rememberalways, michael apollo 11 specifically. but i remember always, michael collins' story resonated with the so much, he got to go all that way but never landed on the moon. he has become this forgotten astronaut almost. i always say, neil armstrong, buzz always say, neilarmstrong, buzz aldrin, and michael collins, i put that in every single quiz i run in the lockdown! trying to get people to remember his name. without him the mission would not have been a success. you could not travel all the way to the moon with all the oxygen and life support you need for the astronauts and then land on the moon, it's too heavy. so neil and buzz went down in this tiny little tin can ever think to the moon surface, kind of like —— in this

little tin can to go to the moon's surface. it was like a little speedboat near a big boat. and then michael collins was in the capsule on his over 23 hours, hours, the half of that he was on the far side of the moon and not in contact with nasa at all, he was completely isolated. that was such a sacrifice, he was so grateful for his seat to be aboard, he was one in 50 astronauts chosen for that, he was grateful for the experience he got to have but can you imagine going all of that way, literally hundreds of thousands of miles in just being able to watch it unfold rather than take part in history? i’m able to watch it unfold rather than take part in history?— able to watch it unfold rather than take part in history? i'm looking at the family's _ take part in history? i'm looking at the family's statement _ take part in history? i'm looking at the family's statement and - take part in history? i'm looking at the family's statement and it - take part in history? i'm looking at the family's statement and it is i the family's statement and it is interesting the way they phrase things. they say, "we will honour his wish for us to celebrate not mourn his life. pleasejoin us in joyfully remembered his sharp wit, quiet sense of purpose and his wife's perspective, gained from looking back on earth from the vantage of space and gazing across

calm waters from the deck of his fishing boat". ithink calm waters from the deck of his fishing boat". i think a lot of people wonder, what impact it has on a person to have been out there looking back on earth. what did we learn about michael collins about how it changed him? he learn about michael collins about how it changed him?— learn about michael collins about how it changed him? he spoke a lot about how he _ how it changed him? he spoke a lot about how he wished _ how it changed him? he spoke a lot about how he wished everyone - how it changed him? he spoke a lot about how he wished everyone on i about how he wished everyone on earth but specifically people in power, politicians, could experience what he did, looking back on earth, completely suspended in space, and realising how isolated and fragile it looked. it completely changed his perspective on life and what was important, and it felt like the melting away, he said. he said he wished people could experience this. with michael collins especially because he was so isolated on the module orbiting the moon when neil and buzz were on the moon, there is and buzz were on the moon, there is a fantastic photo that he took

looking down onto the moon when this tiny little lander that neil and buzz are in our going down to the surface, you have that, the moon and the earth in the background. if you stop to think about what is in photo, that is the entirety of humanity that was alive at that moment in 1969, except him. he is literally the only person in the world that is not in that photo. and you can see why, having seen something like that, you could have your perspective changed. i love the statement from the family that we should celebrate his life and the things that he learned. also one of his biggest things, notjust his legacy in space exploration, but his scientific legacy, as an astrophysicist and scientist, makes me so all. apollo wasn'tjustjaunts to the moon, they were science experiments at the end of the day, and apollo 11 which michael collins made possible by staying on the

module, they got what was essentially a cats eye, a giant cat sigh, like you get in a road at night. they put one onto the moon and we now via giant places at that and we now via giant places at that and we now know from that that the moon is moving three and a half inches away from us per year. we would not know that if it was not for the apollo missions. and also the people they then inspired to get into science, the number of phd in computer science and physics after the apollo missions, there were a huge spike in them. all of the advancements that have come from it, despite being this very quiet and forgotten astronaut, he has a huge legacy across many different areas and i am so thankful.— and i am so thankful. without soundin: and i am so thankful. without sounding at — and i am so thankful. without sounding at all _ and i am so thankful. without sounding at all frivolous, - and i am so thankful. without sounding at all frivolous, just | sounding at all frivolous, just briefly, when you have someone like michael collins who has a moment in history, a moment in time and he could havejust got

history, a moment in time and he could have just got back to life with the fishing as his family said, he stayed present and current, didn't he? i know one of the highlights for you is, you are on social media and he followed you. he was still interested in what the next two generations are doing when it comes to science.— it comes to science. exactly! after he not it comes to science. exactly! after he got back _ it comes to science. exactly! after he got back from _ it comes to science. exactly! after he got back from apollo, - it comes to science. exactly! after he got back from apollo, he - it comes to science. exactly! after he got back from apollo, he got i he got back from apollo, he got involved in the national air and science museum in the us, a huge part of that in communicating science to the public, making sure people are interested. more recently he was on twitter and instagram, and just an absolute joy to follow. he was a very tongue in cheek person. it sounds so frivolous that he liked a picture of mine on instagram and followed me on instagram but that was so much joy for me, wow! followed me on instagram but that was so muchjoy for me, wow! imagine that for someone who was younger starting on their scientific journey, to have that almost acknowledgement from someone so big. he didn't have to do that, he could have just switched from the world but he was so invested in education

of young people in the sciences and getting people interested in as well. that's something that resonates with me. he's one of the most down to earth people, i remember reading his autobiography and thinking, how can someone who sounds so down to earth while talking about a trip to the moon? it's credible to think that why he took this incredible journey —— incredible to think that while he took this incredible journey and was a giant of the 20th century, he got so involved in the 21st century way of communicating as well as making sure people were engaged and excited and inspired. he sure people were engaged and excited and insired. .,, ., , , sure people were engaged and excited and insired. ., , , , sure people were engaged and excited and inspired-— and inspired. he obviously is a man that we are — and inspired. he obviously is a man that we are rightly _ and inspired. he obviously is a man that we are rightly remembering. i that we are rightly remembering. doctor becky smethurst, thank you so much for your review and analysis of what he meant to the world in terms of science. and fact of the day, did you hear that? the moon moves away every year three and a half centimetres, away from us. i was

travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. the fire safety bill — the key piece of post grenfell tower legislation — becomes law today without the extra protections for flat owners that campaigners, peers and some mps had wanted. it means that building owners can pass on the costs of removing cladding to their leaseholder. those living in taller blocks have access to a government fund. there has been a long—running battle over who should pay for remedial work when a building is declared unsafe. the children's charity, the nspcc, says calls and messages to its helpline have risen to record levels during the pandemic. here in london, referals from the helpline to agencies like children 5 services and the police rose by 35%. the charity says lockdown has increased the risks of abuse and neglect. following a spate of stabbings in croydon, community groups have come together with the met police to organise a football tournament for young people. the games will be

played at the warren — the met�*s training ground — and it's hoped it will help improve relationships between. young people and officers. about a year ago none of us would have interacted with the met at all. none of us would have been seen engaging with the metropolitan police, but the met reached out to us and were saying, "how can we engage with everyone?" we said, "listen, come and meet the young people where they are." they love football. let's make this happen. a dad from south east london has completed a six—year challenge — to find the best car parking space at his local supermarket. gareth wild from bromley has tried out every spot at his sainsburys store and shared his spreadsheet findings on social media. why? he says he wanted to make his weekly shop less mundane. let's take a look at the travel situation now. it's all looking good so far on the tube. other than the usual closure of the waterloo and city line. we still have problems on south western trains though via woking

as engineering work overran. and this is how it looks on the north circular — heading towards arnos grove, slow westbound from the a10 great cambridge rd towards green lanes. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. the showers pulled eastwards over night and there is still plenty of cloud around this morning and a largely frost free start to the day, chilis towards western areas where temperatures are still quite close to freezing. as we head through the rest of the day, it is set to stay dry or mostly dry and there will be some sunny spells emerging. we have quite a chilly and noticeable north—easterly wind blowing. temperatures won't be as high as they have been, peaking at around 12 celsius for most of us and there is the chance we will see some april showers spring up here and there where we get the sunny spells as we head through the afternoon. some of the showers could turn out to be heavy but they won't be everywhere. as we head through the evening overnight it is turning colder, there will be clear skies

and the winds start to light and temperatures will get low enough for a touch of frost into friday morning. friday and saturday, expect to see some sunny spells but also some more april showers, this time with lighter winds that could be heavier and slow moving. there's more from me in an hour. plenty more on our website. now it's back to naga and charlie. let's bring you up to date. the most vulnerable people in the uk could be in line for a booster vaccine against coronavirus in the autumn. the government has secured 60 million extra doses of the pfizer—biontech jab which will be used alongside other approved vaccines. the announcement comes as people aged a2 and over in england are called to come forward to get their first dose.

to get some of those answers, we'rejoined now by the vaccines minister, nadhim zahawi. can you talk us through the timetable around the booster vaccines, and who it is intended for? . , vaccines, and who it is intended for? �* , ., for? absolutely. good morning. the clinicians, the _ for? absolutely. good morning. the clinicians, the scientist, _ for? absolutely. good morning. the clinicians, the scientist, will - for? absolutely. good morning. the clinicians, the scientist, will be - clinicians, the scientist, will be looking very carefully, and if you recall, charlie, we began vaccinating the most vulnerable, the groups one to four, the over 805, the residents of care homes and then of course the over 75 5and over 705 on those who were clinically vulnerable back in december with the pfizer vaccine, and then on the ath of january with the astrazeneca vaccine. the clinicians will look to see whether those people who had the early vaccination need a booster shot, because we want to make sure that the antibodies and the

protection remains for the most vulnerable cohorts and the strategy that we are pursuing i5 vulnerable cohorts and the strategy that we are pursuing is that we give the clinicians on the scientists a5 the clinicians on the scientists as many options as possible, hence the announcement that we have brought an additional 60 million doses of pfizer and the nova vax vaccine being manufactured on teesside and thati5 being manufactured on teesside and that is potentially a strong candidate for a booster shot because it works against both the dominant strain at the moment and the south african strain really well, and we are talking to astrazeneca about the vaccine variant they are producing and one vaccine are being manufactured in scotland, a french vaccine, that could also be a candidate, so to future proof the vaccination programme, our task is to make sure we give as much option allergy to the scientists and clinicians to make the decision whether we boost in september or

later this year or early next year, but we must have that ability to do that, hence why we are focused on giving them as many options as possible in terms of vaccines. i originally understood that the statement had been made that it would be rolled out from the autumn. you just said i think that it may yet not be until the beginning of next year. yet not be until the beginning of next ear. . . yet not be until the beginning of next ear. . , ., , , ., next year. that is really up to the clinicians and _ next year. that is really up to the clinicians and the _ next year. that is really up to the clinicians and the scientists. - next year. that is really up to the clinicians and the scientists. the | clinicians and the scientists. the chief medical officers of england, chris whitty, the chief medical officers of scotland, wales and northern ireland will ultimately make that decision as to when to boost. we are making real boo5t. we are making real preparations now to be able to do that from september onward5, preparations now to be able to do that from september onwards, and of course how that dovetails with our flu vaccination programme for the autumn is really important. 0perationally, we are making those

plans now. the decision is a clinical decision that has to be made by the scientists who will decide whether the booster i5 made by the scientists who will decide whether the booster is most effective delivered in september or later in the year or next year. that is something up to them. we will be ready to go both in terms of vaccines and deployment by september of this year. vaccines and deployment by september of this ear. ~ ., ., , vaccines and deployment by september ofthis ear. ~ ., ., , ,. . of this year. what does the science tell ou at of this year. what does the science tell you at the _ of this year. what does the science tell you at the moment? _ of this year. what does the science tell you at the moment? if - of this year. what does the science tell you at the moment? if you're l tell you at the moment? if you're somebody listening to us this morning and you have had your two doses of whichever vaccine and i5 doses of whichever vaccine and is thinking, how long does this last? i hear them talking about the booster vaccine. so what do you know, as we sit here this morning, about how long, someone who is may be elderly and is in one of those vulnerable groups, what does the science tell us as we speak today, and i know that's ongoing process, about how long the protection is good enough for? it long the protection is good enough for? . . long the protection is good enough for? , ., ., ., long the protection is good enough for? ., ., , ,, long the protection is good enough for? ,., ., ., , ,, ., for? it is an ongoing process and jonathan van _

for? it is an ongoing process and jonathan van tam _ for? it is an ongoing process and jonathan van tam went - for? it is an ongoing process and jonathan van tam went into - for? it is an ongoing process and. jonathan van tam went into some depth on this yesterday in the press conference with the secretary of state for health, so there are several things. state for health, so there are severalthings. 0ne state for health, so there are several things. one is the vaccine offering me protection? yes, we can see from real—world data that public health england has published that the vaccines offer really high levels of protection for you if you have been vaccinated with one dose, even more with the two doses. will it also reduced transmission? yes, we've seen the data from public health england that it reduces household transmission by 50%. the durability, how long does the protection last, both in terms of antibodies and t cells is more challenging. that was the question thatjonathan van tam was getting at, the way that we do this at the moment is to see how the antibodies are able to deal with the virus variants, the south african variant, for example. it's harder to see how

the t cell protection also kicks in and protects you from severe infection and hospitalisation, but the scientists will continue to do that work and they will then make the decision as to when to offer the booster jab to which the decision as to when to offer the boosterjab to which groups, and see the most vulnerable are the priority. wejust the most vulnerable are the priority. we just have to be ready. my priority. we just have to be ready. my task is to make sure that both in terms of vaccine supply, on the supply side, and then the deployment side, being able to putjabs in arms as the nhs has been doing so brilliantly with our armed forces, with local government, with 80,000 vaccination volunteers. we have to be ready to do that from september. looking at whatjonathan van tam said yesterday in connection with the infections, he said my senses that probably we are at or close to the bottom in terms of the level of disease in the uk. so can you

translate that for us, how you understand it? does that mean the levels we are at the ones that people should expect for the future? i'm not putting a time on that, but for the foreseeable future, months, maybe years?— maybe years? really important . uestion. maybe years? really important question- if— maybe years? really important question. if you _ maybe years? really important question. if you remember - maybe years? really important. question. if you remember when maybe years? really important - question. if you remember when the prime minister launched the road map to reopen the economy, he spoke of four tests. to reopen the economy, he spoke of fourtests. in to reopen the economy, he spoke of four tests. in the first one was vaccination deployment continuing at scale, which it is. and vaccine efficacy is high in terms of dealing with the virus, and it is demonstrating it is, and infection rates and keeping them suppressed and low is also very important, because the virus will attempt to infect people to mutation and the fourth test is mutation and variance, so whatjonathan van tam was referring to is the combination of people following the rules,

having to endure a pretty severe lockdown, having brought the infection rates down with a massive vaccination programme with that. so that they are suppressed at the levels that they are out at the moment, which is around 2000 infections and as the secretary of state also pointed out yesterday, we have clearly broken the link between infection and then hospitalisation, severe infection and death. that's good but it doesn't mean we take our eye off the ball in terms of infections because if more people get infected, there is a greater chance for the virus to mutate, and therefore it may deliver a mutation that becomes more challenging for us, hence why we have to keep the infection rate low, which i think is whatjonathan van tam was referring to. what jonathan van tam was referring to. ., ., ., . ., , to. keen to get through a couple more things- _ to. keen to get through a couple more things. covid _ to. keen to get through a couple more things. covid for _ to. keen to get through a couple more things. covid for domestic| to. keen to get through a couple - more things. covid for domestic use. can you guess right up to date on that? are we going to use them to

get into pubs and restaurants? late get into pubs and restaurants? we didn't get into pubs and restaurants? - didn't need them to open up public gardens on the 12th of april and we won't need them to go to pubs or restaurants on the 17th of may, as the prime minister has made very clear. fortravel the prime minister has made very clear. for travel overseas, clearly a number of countries are now indicating that they will request they covid certification, proof of either a covid jab, or tests as we currently request a predeparture test certificate and other countries do the same thing. nhs x are working on making that operationally possible by the 17th of may. bud on making that operationally possible by the 17th of may. and for domestic use? _ possible by the 17th of may. and for domestic use? my _ possible by the 17th of may. and for domestic use? my question - possible by the 17th of may. and for domestic use? my question was - possible by the 17th of may. and for i domestic use? my question was about domestic use? my question was about domestic use. do you see that as being something that might happen? we are exploring the different pilots we are running, certainly for

mass events which could prove more challenging for us to open up, say wembley stadium for the semifinal of the fa cup for the final, if you want to go 100% seating capacity at wembley you have to look at all of these technologies available to you and i think it's only right and responsible for any government to explore that. michael gove is reviewing how we would do that and there are some very important questions that your viewers will clearly be worried about, including issues around discrimination, and we cannot be discriminatory in any way on this hence why, domestically, it is something we have to explore and be able to answer those questions. internationally it is right to make the certification available and to shape the protocols around the world, because clearly a number of countries will do this and we would rather do it in a coordinated way which is what grant shapps is trying to do and he is chairing the g7

meeting of ministers on this, the transport secretary around the g7. i am mindful of time. my apologies. 0ne am mindful of time. my apologies. one more question, and i'm sure you understand why, many questions at the moment about ministerial standards and if i could ask you to be very specific on this one. looking at it from the outside, a lot of people asked a question and this is in connection with the prime minister and the money spent on his flat, why is it acceptable for the adviser on ministerial standards to have to get the permission of boris johnson in order to carry out an investigation? why is that acceptable?— investigation? why is that acceptable? this is a really important _ acceptable? this is a really important question - acceptable? this is a really important question and - acceptable? this is a really important question and i i acceptable? this is a really i important question and i think acceptable? this is a really - important question and i think the bit that hasn't really been understood on the advisers role, and he is a crossbencher and was the queen's private secretary, really credible individual, because of our changing of the rules, he is able to

be proactive rather than just reactive. all ministers serve with the confidence of the prime minister and i think that is right, and it is the right system to have, so it's only right that the adviser on ministerial conduct has to be able to report to the prime minister and will look at this and the prime minister has answered questions umpteen times on this that he paid for the refurbishment of his flat. i don't want to go through the details. , ., ._ don't want to go through the details. , . ._ ._ ., details. did the taxpayer pay for this or did the _ details. did the taxpayer pay for this or did the pm? _ details. did the taxpayer pay for this or did the pm? i _ details. did the taxpayer pay for this or did the pm? i don't - details. did the taxpayer pay for this or did the pm? i don't want | details. did the taxpayer pay for i this or did the pm? i don't want to to this or did the pm? i don't want to go through — this or did the pm? i don't want to go through the _ this or did the pm? i don't want to go through the detail, _ this or did the pm? i don't want to go through the detail, i'm - this or did the pm? i don't want to go through the detail, i'm sorry, i go through the detail, i'm sorry, but going back to the original question, from the outside looking in it seems like a straightforward thing, it doesn't make any sense for the person who might investigate to have to ask the prime minister's permission to investigate. do you not see that that looks or seem odd?

this is the point i was trying to explain. because of the way we have changed those rules, the person making the investigation can be proactive and the prime minister has already committed to being able to effectively give him everything he needs. , ., ., , ., , effectively give him everything he needs. , ., ., ., needs. does he have to be able to do it without asking _ needs. does he have to be able to do it without asking the _ needs. does he have to be able to do it without asking the prime _ needs. does he have to be able to do it without asking the prime minister i it without asking the prime minister question ahki does.— question ahki does. ultimately individual task _ question ahki does. ultimately individual task with _ question ahki does. ultimately individual task with this - question ahki does. ultimately individual task with this has i question ahki does. ultimately individual task with this has to | individual task with this has to report to the prime minister because we as ministers are only able to do ourjob because we carry the confidence of the prime minister. when that confidence goes because it is found against a minister in terms of breaking the code, in terms of my role, i would have to obviously step away from being a minister because i no longer have the confidence of the prime minister, so it's important, operationally, for the government to work for this to happen. the changes we have made has allowed him to be

able to be proactive. notjust reactive. he can go wherever he needs to go in terms of ministerial conduct. appreciate you taking us through those questions.- conduct. appreciate you taking us through those questions. thank you for our through those questions. thank you for yourtime- _ through those questions. thank you for your time. what _ through those questions. thank you for your time. what is _ through those questions. thank you for your time. what is clear - through those questions. thank you for your time. what is clear is - through those questions. thank you for your time. what is clear is that i for your time. what is clear is that manchester city is slightly at an advantage at this moment in time? they won't be counting their chickens. good morning. manchester city are in control, of this semi final, as they try to reach the champions league final for the first time.. they were behind to paris st germain, at half time, conceding a marquinhos, header at a corner

but after the break, city produced a stunning performance. they maybe got fortunate with their equaliser when kevin de bruyne swung the ball in, and it curled all the way into the net and then riyadh mahrez found the gap. this week a unique new cricket league has begun in birmingham. the hours of play are 10pm until midnight. as many members of the muslim community observe ramadan the passion for cricket still burns strongly. now, for the first time, birmingham 5 famous edgbaston ground is opening late to accommodate these young players, while also keeping to covid rules. joe wilson has this report. 10pm at edgbaston cricket is just beginning, indoors, in there. for birmingham team is immersed in a new league organised by warwickshire and the chance to shine charity. players are aged between 16 and 18 and are observing ramadan. the daylight hours of fasting and for reflection, but there is still time for cricket. it's better because we have no energy during the day, hardly, so it's better to play a night. i just

yards and this is what it means to them. that is incredible. it took several attempts, them. that is incredible. it took severalattempts, but them. that is incredible. it took several attempts, but to get that into the car, travelling at around 100 miles an hour, to watch the ball all the way. did it stay in the car? it looked like itjumped up. it went into the foot well and stayed in. how could the driver see the ball? it was pink against the grey sky specifically for the challenge, but driving on a runway and there are no other vehicles, so it was safe, but just watching and trying to gauge the speed of the ball and a car. incredible. it's hard enoughjust to catch a normal tennis ball, let alone a golf ball in the car. you forgot an important message. don't try this at home. h0. forgot an important message. don't try this at home-— try this at home. no, or anywhere. just want to _ try this at home. no, or anywhere. just want to bring _ try this at home. no, or anywhere. just want to bring the _ try this at home. no, or anywhere. just want to bring the mood - try this at home. no, or anywhere. just want to bring the mood down. | try this at home. no, or anywhere. | just want to bring the mood down. i don't think anybody would anyway. brilliant, though. we have another record—breaker coming on, emer, and carol, you would like this, because you did couch to five k and really

with some of them wintry, on the tops of the mountains in scotland, and these are the average wind speeds, along the north sea coast line with the onshore flow, it will feel cold with temperatures between eight and 11 degrees. inland, we are looking at highs of 13. that is down on the top temperature of yesterday which was in suffolk, and that was 15 degrees. through the evening and overnight many of the showers will fade, but not all of them, and you can see all of the clear sky on the map, and that means there will once again be a widespread frost, so every night in april will have seen some frost somewhere in the uk. and in half an hour or so i will have another war —— forecast which will be a wee bit longer. and of course the headlines. see you in a few minutes. it's a chilly start today, but for many of us, spring is in the air and we're looking forward to throwing open the windows and spending more time in the garden. for thousands of people in staffordshire — however — that's the last

thing they want to do. and it's all because of a noxious smell. 0ur reporter phil mackie is there for us this morning. phil, it looks perfectly lovely there, green, bit blue sky, spring day. unfortunately, there is a tinge to the atmosphere.— day. unfortunately, there is a tinge to the atmosphere. yes, and that is the cause of— to the atmosphere. yes, and that is the cause of the _ to the atmosphere. yes, and that is the cause of the problem _ to the atmosphere. yes, and that is the cause of the problem is, - to the atmosphere. yes, and that is the cause of the problem is, i'm - the cause of the problem is, i'm afraid. you can see the landfill site there in the quarry, and it's right next to all of these homes and quite often the smell is really, really bad. it is hydrogen sulphide, it's awful. as i drove into newcastle—under—lyme i was hit by the smell. it was really unpleasant and strong. but funnily enough, standing here, it's not too bad this morning. it's to do with the wind direction and probably the other side in silverdale things are quite bad this morning, but it's a big problem for people living around there, and frankly, it is making people's lives a misery. this there, and frankly, it is making people's lives a misery.- there, and frankly, it is making people's lives a misery. this is a uuar people's lives a misery. this is a

a murder investigation begins after the body ofjulia james, a police community support officer, is found in woodland in kent. labour call on borisjohnson to appoint a fully "independent" person to oversee ministers' conduct including his own. he said, "we haven't got your door, we never had your dog, have a nice life," and laughed, and put the phone down. preying on the desperate, the criminals who are conning the owners of missing dogs out of thousands of pounds. good morning. this spring has been one of the coldest and driest on record, with a record low rainfall and widespread frost. it is bad news for farmers and it could be and widespread frost. it is bad news forfarmers and it could be bad news of the prices we pay the supermarket. a big step closer to european glory for manchester city who come from behind in paris to win the away leg of their champions league semifinal. good morning. 0ver good morning. over the next few days we are looking in a mixture of

sunshine and showers. some will be heavy and thundery and slow moving and it will be chilly by day and also chile by night. all of the details later in the programme. it's thursday the 29th of april. our top story. the uk has secured a further 60 million doses of the pfizer—biontech coronavirus jab as part of a plan to roll out a booster programme in the autumn. the health secretary matt hancock said the aim of the extra jabs was to "keep us safe and free here while we get this disease under control across the world". james reynolds reports. right now, all adults in the uk wait their turn to get two coronavirus jabs. but the government is now preparing a possible third dose, a booster in the autumn. it's an insurance policy for the most vulnerable. i'm delighted to be able to tell you that we have secured a further 60 million doses of the pfizer biontech vaccine, that will be used alongside others as part of our booster shots

programme later this year. and that is all about protecting the progress that we've made. the current two dose strategy gives strong protection, but scientists don't yet know for how long. so, as winter approaches, the booster, or third jab, will be offered. it's not yet clear if this third jab will simply be another dose of the current shots, or whether the booster will be tweaked to deal with new variants of the virus. as infections decline, life has begun to open up. 0ne adult in five in the uk is now fully vaccinated. but this country isn't following the us in allowing fully vaccinated people to meet up indoors. i know this feels tantalisingly, extremely close, and it is going to be frustrating at times for people. particularly those who have

had their two doses. but we just need to make sure we don't have to go backwards again on any of this. that means that everyone, from the non—jabbed, to the single—jabbed and the double—jabbed, has to obey the same restrictions, which are due to ease in may. james reynolds, bbc news. labour has said the prime minister can't be allowed to be "judge and jury" on his own ministerial standards, amid continuing questions over how the refurbishment of his downing street flat was funded. yesterday the queen's former private secretary lord geidt was appointed as the government's new advisor on ministerial standards, but labour says he needs more power and independence. 0ur chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. adam, we are trying to figure out both sides, arguing for and against

lord geidt�*s roll, and just how much accountability and responsibility and independence he has to make a determination on the prime minister who has the ultimate say, we think. no one is complaining about lord geidt getting thisjob no one is complaining about lord geidt getting this job as the independent adviser on ministerial standards. he is the former private secretary to the queen, everyone thinks he's a pretty straight sort of guy who will do this job well. the question is about how independent the independent adviser is. what the government is done is beefed up his role slightly, in that now he will be able to suggest to the prime minister that somebody should be investigated for something which the role could not do before. it will still be up to the prime minister to decide if that investigation goes ahead and then up to the prime minister what happens when that investigation concludes so the labour party is pushing for the independent adviser to get more independence which the government is currently resisting. the other thing which is happening in terms of

investigations into ministers is the electoral commission are looking into this issue about whether the prime minister's renovations to his flat where funded by donations or payment or gifts or whatever, that went via the conservative party. the crucial thing is, they aren't investigating the prime minister himself, they are investigating the conservative party. the conservative party say they made all the decorations they were supposed to under the law, the prime minister says that he paid for the fact himself in the story rambles on and he will —— pay for the flat himself but the story rambles on and will go on for longer because these investigations are not quick. thank ou ve investigations are not quick. thank you very much. — investigations are not quick. thank you very much, adam. _ india has reported another record rise in new covid infections and deaths over the last 2a hours with the total number of cases reaching over 18 million. nearly 205,000 people have now died from the virus as the health system struggles under enormous pressure. the united states has said it's sending supplies worth more than $100 million. detectives are continuing to search woodland in kent for clues after a police community support

officer was found murdered. the body ofjulia james, who was 53, was discovered in snowdown, near dover, on tuesday afternoon. 0ur reporter simonjones is at the scene. bring us right up—to—date. investigations are continuing here this morning, and this is a complex investigation and a difficult one for kent police because they are of course looking into the murder of one of their own officers. julia james we understand was out walking her dog when she was attacked, her body found just after apm on tuesday. in terms of what is happening here this morning, we have seen officers in high vizjackets in the fields beside me carrying out searches, they have also been going door—to—door for enquiries. this searches, they have also been going door—to—doorfor enquiries. this has affected the local community and the

police, a senior officer said many of his colleagues was feeling shattered about what happened and this is very tough for them. when julia james became a pcso in 2007 she told a local paper she loved her job and being part of the community, and this is a community which now wants answers. northern ireland's democratic unionist party is beginning the process of selecting its next leader, and a new first minister in the devolved government. arlene foster announced she was standing down from both jobs yesterday after more than 20 dup assembly members and four mp5 signed a letter expressing no confidence in her leadership. it is nine minutes past eight, let's have a look at the weather and say good morning, carol. farmers are not happy. good morning, carol. farmers are not happy, hard to grow things when it isn't raining enough. but i'm not used to it being so cold. we got used to it being so cold. we got used to it being so cold. we got used to it being warm. yes, we had one of the warmest march days on record and then we had all

of these overnight frosts in april, another one last night, somewhere in the uk every night has seen frost in april. and more coming. a nice start in some areas, a beautiful weather watchers picture from windermere. the forecast for the next few days is sunshine and showers so there is something coming out of the sky and on bank holiday monday, it looks like a deep area of low pressure in the atlantic will bring in some wet and windy weather. at the moment it looks like it is across the southern half of the uk. the northern extent of it is still open to question. the positioning could change this far in advance. we have seen some rain moving across southern areas which is now clearing of into the near continent, we have a scattering of showers, some wintry on the top of the mountains further north. a lot of us are starting off on a cold and frosty night and a sunny one. showers will develop further through the day, some of us will miss them altogether and stay dry and by the time we get to the afternoon, there

will be a smattering of showers across the north of scotland. some could have the odd rumble of thunder in them. some showers and sunshine in them. some showers and sunshine in between in northern ireland and northern england, and we will see brighter skies across wales, midlands, east anglia and the south of england than we had yesterday. nonetheless still some showers around. temperature —wise, this is the range. cool along the north sea coastline with an onshore breeze, up to about 12 or 13 degrees. thank you. it is 11 minutes past eight. for the last four years, breakfast has been following the tragic story of laura booth. laura was 21, she had disabilities, and she was admitted to hospital for a routine operation in 2016. just over a month later, while still under the hospital's care, she died. an inquest eventually took place because of concerns raised on breakfast, and a coroner has now ruled that laura's death was partly caused by malnutrition

as a result of neglect. jayne mccubbin has been speaking to laura's family. this is laura. doctors looking after her in sheffield said she died of natural causes. now her parents know neglect contributed to her death. she starved to death in front of us. and you begged for help? we did, yeah. we did. until the night laura died. laura was born with a myriad of health conditions but her parents say she was a gift. she went into sheffield's royal hallamshire hospital in 2016 for a routine eye operation. she never came home. she went 28 days without food. you can't live without food. for three and a half weeks she was in that hospital. you begged them to do something, didn't you? every day, we told them,

this is not right, laura isn't eating anything. yeah, we did. but it was just as though we were invisible. theyjust didn't take any notice of what we said. we asked them every day. when is laura going to get some nutrition? no one can live without nutrition. and it still never came. it's just so hard to take when you hear somebody say your daughter has died of malnutrition. the coroner said there had been a gross failure of care. when laura developed an infection and stopped eating in hospital, dietitians, physicians and pharmacists had all discussed options, but none had taken responsibility for a decision to fit a feeding tube. the coroner said laura and her parents had been overburdened and undervalued. her care had been unlawful. every day, we miss her. life is not the same without her.

she was so precious to us. we loved her, really. a lot. we will never get over losing laura, never. she was our world. the hospital issued a statement saying... they acknowledged malnutrition played a part in laura's death but said laura was not starved. do you remember this letter? yes, we do. you remember that, from sam? yeah. this letter was written in 2018, expressing concerns that laura had starved in hospital, written by a former sheffield physician. we passed this letter onto the coroner, and 16 months after laura died, he finally agreed to an inquest. i could see that something had gone terribly wrong. _ how there was this catalogue - of mistakes and miscommunications. but mostly culminating in this absolutely indefensible - lack of nutrition. what do you think of the fact

that the trust tried to block your evidence being given? i want to say i'm disappointed, but i'm frankly ashamed. - that this has happened in my hospital. - i can only imagine how patricia and ken are feeling. _ are you still with them? i'm still with them, can i bring them into shot, is that 0k? yeah, yeah. hi, patricia, hi, ken. oh, my heart went out to you this morning. i four and a half years, it's all come to light. i thank you is not enough. yes, a big thank you, sam. a really big thank you. ijust want to say that it's been such an honour for me to have | shared thatjourney that you had with laura. i and i will want to make sure that your story i is spread far and wide. thank you. a four and a half year fight for truth ended in a three week inquest, all of which was live tweeted

by a woman who has made it herjob to cover the inquests of people with learning disabilities. there is a reason why you do this? there is. we know that learning disabled and autistic people die decades prematurely, decades before their peers. and we know that they're dying from things that are not natural. you know, it's not natural to starve to death in a hospital. it's not natural to die from scabies, it's not natural to die from constipation or to drown in a bath. i'm so outraged that this just keeps happening. that we have report after report after report bemoaning the fact that people die prematurely, but nothing actually changes. the coroner said it was wrong laura's parents had had to fight to find the truth. we're so proud of her. it was an honour and a privilege to have been laura's parents. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. our thanks to laura's parents ken and patricia for speaking to us.

an nhs spokesperson called the coroner's findings "tragic" and said: "in future, every person with a disability who comes into contact with the health service will have a flag on their digital records, so their care is bespoke to their needs." 17 minutes past eight. if you've ever lost a pet, you'll knowjust how distressing that experience can be. sadly, as dog thefts have increased during the pandemic, some criminals are making it even worse for the owners by pretending to have found their missing animals simply to extort money from them. one woman who fell victim to the scammers was sharon. she's been telling her story to ellie price.

he went missing on the wednesday night and on the friday evening, two hours after i finished putting the posters up, i had a phone call from a gentleman. he said to me, i've got your dog. and i'm leaving the area tonight, so if you want him back, you've got to give me £1000. if you don't give it to me, he'll go to the bait farm. when six—year—old ronnie went missing, sharon put up posters locally and online. she received around 50 calls over ten days from the same scammers, who claimed they had her dog. they kept demanding more. in the end she paid out almost £2,500. i would have given anything to have him back and i truly believed they had him. and although loads of people told me that they were scammers

and they hadn't, ijust believed. and he kept promising sharon he would return ronnie. they phoned again and he just said, we haven't got your dog, we never had your dog, have a nice life and laughed and put the phone down. it was actually part of my pension i used. and i sort of think, well, there are times, i know it sounds really pathetic, but there are times when i think i don't want to carry on because i can't live waking up every single morning thinking about where he is. going to bed every night thinking about, is he cold, is he frightened? with people spending more time at home over several lockdowns, there's been a rise in demand for dogs. a rise in the cost of dogs, and therefore, a rise in dog thefts. we have heard from a number of people whose dogs have gone

missing and a scammer calling them has used the same tactics and script as they did with sharon. talking to sharon today, her story was just unbelievable. wayne may from the dog loss website, which helps reunite owners with their lost dogs, told me he's in touch with 19 different police forces. as an organisation we've experienced one or two scam callers each month. over the last two weeks, we've experienced 117 calls to owners. they're thieves, they're stealing your money. they're capitalising on your grief. they're not taking into consideration at all how these people are feeling when their dogs and their pets are being stolen. and they haven't got the dog? they haven't got the dog, no. i'm not aware of any case at the moment where someone has paid a ransom, or they've done a direct transfer for their dogs, and the dogs have ever been returned. fraud specialists are looking into sharon's case. she says she's handed over the scammers' bank details, and even a phone number. six weeks on, ronnie has still not come home.

itjust made what was an awful, awfultime, losing him, just, it was like somebody had opened a wound and just kept on just digging and digging and digging. sorry. thank you to sharon for sharing her story, because when you are a victim of a scam, she was speaking to ali price, and ronnie isn't back yet and we obviously have his return to soon. when you are a victim of a scam you can feel really embarrassed and humiliated as well. because all of that is cruel. to go on national television and do that is really brave of sharon, and also hopefully, there will be people watching that thinking, i never knew that was happening, i didn't think people

could be that cruel, and just have that extra layer of protection. so thank you very much.— that extra layer of protection. so thank you very much. really hoping it ends well- _ joining us now is peter carroll, whose chihuahua peaches went missing two weeks ago. thankfully they've now been re—united. and also lee paris, from the dogs trust. we'll talk to you in a moment, lee. peter, look at that! this is a happy scene. you have been through a bit of an ordeal, tell us what happened. well, the dog went missing a week a-o well, the dog went missing a week ago on _ well, the dog went missing a week ago on sunday. i was out in the garden — ago on sunday. i was out in the garden doing all the things you do and it— garden doing all the things you do and it is— garden doing all the things you do and it is spring, trying to get the lawn _ and it is spring, trying to get the lawn mower to go, and i suddenly realised _ lawn mower to go, and i suddenly realised the dog wasn't around. having — realised the dog wasn't around. having searched the house and turned to the _ having searched the house and turned to the garden upside down in 30 minutes. — to the garden upside down in 30 minutes, still not there. that stabbing _ minutes, still not there. that stabbing pain in your stomach, oh my god, stabbing pain in your stomach, oh my god. she's _ stabbing pain in your stomach, oh my god, she's gone. in your mind, the story— god, she's gone. in your mind, the story is— god, she's gone. in your mind, the story is racing _

the fire safety bill — the key piece of post grenfell tower legislation — becomes law today but without the extra protections for flat owners that campaigners, peers and some mp5 had wanted. it means building owners can pass on the costs of removing cladding to their leaseholder. there's been a long—running parliamentary battle over who should pay for remedial work when a building is declared unsafe. the children's charity, the nspcc, says calls and messages to its helpline have risen to record levels during the pandemic. here in london, referals from the helpline to agencies like children 5 services and the police rose by 35%. the charity says lockdown has increased the risks of abuse and neglect. following a spate of stabbings in croydon, community groups have come together with the met police to organise a football tournament for young people. the games will be played at the warren — the met�*s training ground — and it's hoped it will help improve relationships between young people and officers.

about a year ago none of us would have interacted with the met at all. none of us would have been seen engaging with the metropolitan police, but the met reached out to us and were saying, "how can we engage with everyone?" we said, "listen, come and meet the young people where they are." they love football. let's make this happen. a dad from south east london has completed a six—year challenge to find the best car parking space at his local supermarket. gareth wild from bromley has tried out every spot at his sainsburys store and shared his spreadsheet findings on social media. why? he says he wanted to make his weekly shop less mundane. let's take a look at the travel situation now. it's still looking good so far on the tube, other than the usual closure of the waterloo and city line. we still have problems on south western trains though via woking. engineering work overran. and this is how it looks on the north circular — heading towards arnos grove, slow westbound from the a10 great cambridge rd towards green lanes

and in central london, eastbound traffic on the euston rd is slow through the euston underpass. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. the showers pulled eastwards over night and there is still plenty of cloud around this morning and a largely frost free start to the day, chiliest towards western areas where temperatures are still quite close to freezing. as we head through the rest of the day, it is set to stay dry or mostly dry and there will be some sunny spells emerging. we have quite a chilly and noticeable north—easterly wind blowing. temperatures won't be as high as they have been, peaking at around 12 celsius for most of us and there is the chance we will see some april showers spring up here and there where we get the sunny spells as we head through the afternoon. some of the showers could turn out to be heavy but they won't be everywhere. as we head through the evening overnight it is turning colder, there will be clear skies and the winds start to lighten and temperatures will get low enough for a touch of frost into friday morning.

friday and saturday, expect to see some sunny spells but also some more april showers, this time with lighter winds that could be heavier and slow moving. plenty more on our website. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty.

the importance of her being there all my life. i was so used to it that until she died, then, of course, it hit me like a tonne of bricks. i thought, course, it hit me like a tonne of bricks. ithought, my course, it hit me like a tonne of bricks. i thought, my god, course, it hit me like a tonne of bricks. ithought, my god, i've never known life without her, really. she didn't take any nonsense from me. she would tell me exactly how she felt, and especially with the music. she was a big asset with that. and now this is the first album i have recorded that she hasn't heard. but i think she would like it, because i do sound like me on this one. like it, because i do sound like me on this one-— like it, because i do sound like me on this one. ~ i. _, on this one. when you were recording this, on this one. when you were recording this. knowing — on this one. when you were recording this, knowing that _ on this one. when you were recording this, knowing that you _ on this one. when you were recording this, knowing that you didn't - on this one. when you were recording this, knowing that you didn't have - this, knowing that you didn't have her to keep your feet on the ground, and also to be constructively critical. did you imagine what she might have said about certain things when you are trying new things? yes.

of the area of low pressure behind it we still have a north—easterly wind, so this cold, blue represents the colder air across the uk at the moment. we have also had a fairfew showers this morning, but as you can see, a lot of clear skies as well, so many of us are starting off with a lot of sunshine first thing as well. and we will hang on to a fair bit of sunshine as we go through the day, brighterskies bit of sunshine as we go through the day, brighter skies across southern england and wales where we had all of that cloud and rain yesterday and we are also looking at further showers developing in the later part of the day and some of them will be wintry. these white circles represent the average wind speed, so as you can see, not particularly strong on the gusts will be a bit higher than that. but the direction is salient, particularly so along the north sea coastline. we have a north—easterly wind and the temperature is only between eight and ii temperature is only between eight and 11 degrees and it will feel cold if you are out and about, but, in land and we are looking at highs of

12 or 13 degrees stop yesterday in suffolk got up to 15 degrees, so the temperature is slipping. through the evening and overnight many of the showers will fade and we will hang on a view and see further showers develop across scotland and again in the mountains some of those are likely to be wintry. it will be another cold night and these temperatures are the towns and cities and rural areas will be lower, so we are looking at a widespread frost. a cold start to the day tomorrow but a sunny one but it won't be long before we see further showers develop, and a better chance of seeing more of them across southern areas tomorrow than we are likely to do today. the wind is starting to ease through the day alongside the north sea coastline but it will still feel cool if you're heading out for a walk. 12 or 13 is likely to be the maximum temperature. watch how the isobars really start to open out as we head through the latter part of friday and into saturday, so not nearly as windy, so it won't feel as cold along the north sea coastline. once

again we start on a cold note with frost, some sunshine, and then the showers will get going as we go through the course of the day. these are the temperatures, six in lerwick to around 14 in london. and then for sunday, we start on a frosty note again, a lot of dry weather and sunshine and the showers get going too as we go through the course of the day with temperatures again reaching the dizzy heights of 14 degrees and just a quick look at bank holiday monday where we have a deep area of low pressure coming bringing significant rain with it and also some gusty winds and the northern extent of that is still open to question but many of us are now looking for some rain. i don't like it when you're isobars are close together. i prefer them spread apart, as a golfer, but you would know that. fit spread apart, as a golfer, but you would know that.— spread apart, as a golfer, but you would know that._ it i spread apart, as a golfer, but you would know that._ it is | would know that. of course. it is much windier _ would know that. of course. it is much windier when _ would know that. of course. it is much windier when they - would know that. of course. it is much windier when they are i would know that. of course. it is i much windier when they are together. no one likes that. carroll, enjoy the rest of your week.

the duke and duchess of cambridge are celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary today — and they've released some new pictures to mark the occasion. here's the happy couple, embracing in the grounds of kensington palace — still looking very much in love. and we can see how they've changed in the last decade. i don't think they have changed that much, if i'm being honest. do you? is that the compare and contrast? it's a bit unfair to do that, but there you go. that picture was during an official visit to st andrews university. mainly, they look very happy. two billion people tuned in to watch william and catherine get married at westminster abbey — and street parties took place across the uk. graham satchell has been talking to people about their memories of the big day. april 29, 2011, exactly ten years ago, and the marriage of prince william to kate middleton. the wedding watched by an estimated 2 billion people worldwide. across the country,

in time—honoured fashion, the great british street party. jason, you need to stop here. jack was just eight at the time. i thought i was going to hyperventilate. he helped organise his street party, doing his best not to get too stressed. calm down, you're going to hyperventilate! it was such a good day, like, everyone was out on the street, we had auctions going on, raffles, cake going out to everyone. the royal wedding is all royal, isn't it, everyone wanted to get involved. we was all sat in the front room and the atmosphere was just so happy and everyone was happy for the wedding. it was literally like a fairy tale, it was, honestly. what has it been like for you today? fantastic day.

i'm caroline beddoe, this is my husband trevor, and we got married ten years ago on the 29th of april. it was pretty magical, i think, because there was all the hype of the royal wedding. there had been a big lead up to it to the day, and we watched the wedding. i am a royalist, trevor quite likes the royal family as well but i am so patriotic. and just loved the moment, watching kate, her dress, her hair and her make—up, absolutely everything was flawless. she looked beautiful. and then we just had a wonderful day. beautiful service, super reception in the afternoon, and a very good party at night time. sheila thomas celebrating in style at a party in devon. it was such good fun. everybody bought food and drink and all the children, just, all the neighbours were invited. couldn't invite all of dawlish.

just the neighbours from king street, queen street, regent street and albert street. because that's where we live, in the royal roads. that beautiful lace bodice that came just under the bust. sheila is a former royal seamstress and has made dresses for the queen. her street party was shown on the bbc. the day after something extraordinary happened. i saw sheila on television. i looked her number up in a telephone directory. she asked me if i'm sheila thomas, and i said, yes. and she said, do you know who i am? and i said, you sound like estelle somebody, who i haven't seen in 55 years. and the rest is history. we got together again! she hasn't changed a bit. what a fib! old friends brought together after half a century by a royal wedding. much has happened to the royal family in the last ten years, but in what was an age of austerity, the royal wedding a decade ago

was a moment of escape and celebration. graham satchell, bbc news. let's speak now to two people who took part in the big day. lenny rush was a chorister at westminster abbey and fiona cairns made the cake. lenny, le n ny, lets lenny, lets start with you, you are singing at the wedding and as i understand it, the couple came in once or twice before hand to talk about music. tell us about that. yes, i was 13 at the time. the couple came in a week before, a month before, to talk through some of the music and we sang a few pieces for them to make their choice. after that it was a surreal moment because it was just us, the choir and them, so it was like a personal performance and they had a discussion with us afterwards and it was amazing. they were speaking to

us as if they were our peers. what kind of things do they say? they were just complimenting us on the sound. they were asking us our advice and what we liked out of the options offered. they asked about experiences we had heard of other big services, because as the choir of westminster abbey we had done a lot in the past which were quite big and we had sung for the royals before, but nothing as major as the royal wedding itself. they were talking about all sorts of things. it was amazing.— talking about all sorts of things. it was amazing. fiona, one of the thins i it was amazing. fiona, one of the things i think _ it was amazing. fiona, one of the things i think is _ it was amazing. fiona, one of the things i think is really _ it was amazing. fiona, one of the things i think is really clear, i it was amazing. fiona, one of the things i think is really clear, likel things i think is really clear, like any couple tying the knot, they want to be involved, they want to have a say in what happens from the ceremony, to things like the cake, and they were both very involved in that, weren't they?—
