manchester united are on the brink of the europe league final of the europa league final after hitting roma for six at old trafford but no such joy for arsenal in their semi final. once again today and this weekend, big billowing clouds, hit ms rain showers but if you are after some rain, a better chance coming upjust in time for bank holiday monday. a full forecast coming up here. it's friday the 30th of april. our top story. at least 44 people have been killed in a stampede at a religious festival in israel. emergency services say they are also dealing with multiple casualties following the crush at mount meron, near the sea of galilee. prime minister benjamin netanyahu described it as a "heavy disaster". courtney bembridge reports. videos uploaded to social media show the chaotic scenes. tens of thousands of people crushed

together at the foot of mount meron. it was supposed to be a celebration, a night of prayer, singing and dancing. translation: iwas there, inside. it was crowded and there were around 60,000 to 70,000 people. no place to move. then people started to fall on the ground. they fell a lot on the ground. all of a sudden we saw paramedics, whatever, running by, like mid—cpr on kids. then, one after the other, there started coming ambulances. then we understood like something is going on here. many people had been watching the event live on television. emergency services struggled to reach those who were injured because of the crowds. the roads were also congested and military helicopters were brought in to take the injured to hospital. many of the first responders were volunteers, now being offered counselling.

we just finished treating one of israel's worst disasters. the terrible disaster of people who came to celebrate lag b'omer. and, unfortunately, were literally crushed to death. the evening event is the start of the religious festival, but all future events have been cancelled because of the disaster. courtney bembridge, bbc news. our middle east correspondent tom bateman is injerusalem. good morning. there were some distressing scenes there. what news do how many people have been injured or killed? the how many people have been in'ured or killed? . , , ., killed? the latest figures from paramedics — killed? the latest figures from paramedics are _ killed? the latest figures from paramedics are that _ killed? the latest figures from paramedics are that there - killed? the latest figures from | paramedics are that there were killed? the latest figures from - paramedics are that there were 44 tap fatalities, 150 injured and up to 20 seriously, several critically injured are currently being treated. the military as you have heard there, were airlifting some of those

wounded to hospital throughout the night. what has made this so difficult as you saw in the pictures there the sheer numbers of people involved in this event. this is the biggest public gathering that happens each year in israel. some years there can be up to half a million people. this year that number was smaller but we are still talking up to 100,000 people, certainly tens of thousands involved. some of the initial reports suggesting that that walkway, these heavy crowds were making their way along down an incline, down mount meron, to attend one of the big events, there was a concert taking place at the time, at the end of the walkway was a police barrier and people simply could not pass. those at the top of the walkway where pushing forward or surging forward and that was causing this crush, and the stampede. there are a lot of people questions being asked about the public safety

elements that were in place, while that operation continues to recover and rescue those who were are still trapped. a lot of people have missing relatives and the mobile phone network collapsed, a lot of people complaining they simply cannot get through to people to establish whether or not their loved ones were involved in this. so it's very much an ongoing situation there and at the same time, i think those questions will now persist about whether enough was done to keep people safe. whether enough was done to keep peeple safe-— whether enough was done to keep people safe. thank you very much, tom bateman. _ people safe. thank you very much, tom bateman, our— people safe. thank you very much, tom bateman, our correspondent. tom bateman, our correspondent reporting from jerusalem. a complete sporting boycott of social media will start this afternoon. players from sports including football, cricket, rugby and tennis willjoin their clubs, official associations and some sponsors in the four—day protest. they want facebook, instagram and twitter to do more to tackle people who use their sites to leave racist and sexist comments. nesta mcgregor has more details. taking the knee, slogans,

banners, big campaigns. now football's latest attempt to stamp out racism — digital silence. do i think it will make a difference? probably not. but what it does do, it sends a warning to these companies to let these people know that not going to take this abuse any more. led by the premier league, efl and with support from the other major sports, a vow of silence on the platforms where the abuse takes place. if they still don't take action, then i think you'll see these clubs, players, staff, corporations, start to get together and think of more tough measures to take to finally force action. for some, the boycott doesn't go far enough, though, or address why people behave like this in the first place. but as seen recently, football does have the power to affect change or prevent it. even before the lockdown kicked in, we were seeing significant increases in reported incidents based on discrimination.

so this isn'tjust online. the fact that we've not been in grounds and we haven't had grassroots football, i think is hiding the fact that this is a problem in society. there's no room for racism. with the spotlight on social media companies, facebook, which owns instagram, recently gave users more control over who can message them privately. this isn't about profit and it's not about money. we've been working on some of these tools for a very long time. regardless of any calls for boycotts. how to handle being racially abused at work is a conversation andros had with his dad. the 29—year—old hopes it's not a lesson he'll have to pass down. hopefully we will have eradicated the problem. i feel like it is all about education, like i've said before. and hopefully, if we educate the kids now, when they are in their 20s and in the 30s, we're not receiving the same racist abuse on daily basis.

hopefully i won't have to have these tough conversations with my son when he's older. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. bafta has suspended the actor and director noel clarke just weeks after he received one of its top awards following allegations of sexual harassment and bullying. the "kidulthood" and "doctor who" actor vehemently denies any misconduct or wrongdoing. tim muffett reports. viewpoint, itv�*s new police drama starring noel clarke. the actor made his first tv appearance more than 20 years ago. and there have been many more since then. but it's his work behind the camera that has won him huge critical acclaim with the likes of the hood trilogy of kidulthood, adulthood and brotherhood. earlier this month, he received an outstanding contribution award from bafta, one of the academy's highest accolades. last night, bafta issued a statement. it said that...

it follows a range of allegations concerning the actor's behaviour, allegations which he vehemently denies. in a statement, noel clarke said... tim muffett, bbc news. thousands of people will have a night of music, dancing and mingling in a warehouse today as part of a government scheme to test crowd safety. it's one of several events taking

place in liverpool over the weekend. our reporter mairead smyth is at the venue. ican imagine i can imagine there are many, many excited people today, but all of this being done with caution and of course it is a trial?— course it is a trial? absolutely, with caution — course it is a trial? absolutely, with caution and _ course it is a trial? absolutely, with caution and care. - course it is a trial? absolutely, with caution and care. but - course it is a trial? absolutely, with caution and care. but this| with caution and care. but this morning, thousands of people are waking up in liverpool with that feeling that none of us have had, none of us have felt, for more than a year, some of us a bit more than that, they are going clubbing. not tonight but today. here is bramley moore dock and this is where the circus —like club will —— the circus nightclub will host the first night, 3000 people today and 3000 tomorrow but if your name is not down, you aren't coming in, you have had to sign up and give some information about yourself and how you feel

about yourself and how you feel about this event. the ticketed event will be held here and you have to have a negative covid test before you gain entry. and after the event within five days you have to take another test. this is part of a pilot to see if we can safely reopen big events like club nights and parties not only in liverpool but in cities right across the country. it is part of the government's events research which began last week with the snooker at the crucible. earlier this week, the good business festival with held down the waterfront at the arena and that was all about seeing if people could mingle at a business event, around 400 people, without masks, shaking hands. we haven't seen that in a long time. today a tpm, 3000 people will come here to bramley moore dock for the first dance. if it goes well, it could be the start of something beautifulfor

well, it could be the start of something beautiful for all of us. you are selling it, mairead! you are absolutely selling it! thank you so much. lockdown restrictions are being eased in northern ireland today. pubs and restaurants can serve customers outdoors. gyms, swimming pools and self—contained holiday accommodation can re—open and up to three households can now socialise in a private garden. it's emerged that the prime minister's mobile phone number has been freely available online for the last 15 years. borisjohnson�*s number was listed on a press release from 2006 when he was a junior shadow minister and it appears to have stayed the same since. labour says it raises concerns about security and the risk of blackmail. downing street declined to comment. 12 minutes past six. that means that matt is right there. with the weather, that he has! so early in the morning, wasn't expecting that!

it's friday, why not? good morning all. it has been a record—breaking month for first all. it has been a record—breaking month forfirst in all. it has been a record—breaking month for first in the uk, last day of the month today and confirmation that every single day this month somewhere it has been frosty. temperatures below freezing across a fair few spots across scotland, england and wales at the moment and still more to come to come into the start of may. butjust trust still more to come to come into the start of may. but just trust that the showers are back. one or two through the night, odd lighter one but some heavy ones in parts of south—west scotland and eastern england, the odd rumble of thunder and flash of lightning. when to be over the hills as well. sleet and snow mixed in —— they will be wintry over the hills. the showers will blossom into life later on, cloud building, not as much sunshine for some of you this afternoon and a chilly day after the coldest start particularly in the east coast. through the afternoon and evening, the focus of the showers is potentially in devon and cornwall

through towards dorset and wiltshire, parts of wales, another line from lincolnshire into the pennines. hit and line from lincolnshire into the pennines. hitand miss line from lincolnshire into the pennines. hit and miss what many of you, some staying completely dry all day long. i know some of you are desperate for rain, no guarantees when you have showers in the forecast. where they do care, slow—moving, heavy and thundery with hail mixed in. showers fading tonight, if you continuing through scotland and eastern coastal counties of england. —— there will be a few continuing. in the weekend, sunshine and showers but more wet and windy weather on bank holiday monday, details in half an hour. interesting that saying that every day, we saw frost on the ground, ben was out on the farm yesterday. it was very chilly. nice and warm here. yesterday we were talking

about the crops are struggling and today we are talking about these, computer chips, very affected by the weather. they're in computers and phones obviously, but also in your tv, in your camera, and they will almost certainly be in your car, if you've got a newer vehicle. basically, these things are the brains and storage devices of everything digital. without them, the modern world grinds to a halt. and there's a shortage. there are a few things going on. lockdown massively increased the demand for things like laptops, webcams and tvs. apple delayed the release of its new phone and some games consoles started to sell out. that led to some of the big computer and phone firms stockpiling these chips.

but only a few companies have factories that build chips, so when there's disruption — it affects everyone. the weather has a big impact — the process needs lots of water — so a draught in taiwan, freezing weather in the us and a big fire injapan all caused big problems. and the first to feel the impact is carmakers. they use lots of computer chips but stopped ordering them at the beginning of the pandemic when demand slumped. but underestimated how quickly car sales would bounce back, and now they're struggling to get the supplies they need. as a result, today, bmw will halt production of the mini in oxfordshire. it comes afterjaguar land rover, honda and nissan all had to take similar action in the uk. richard's company makes computer parts. demand is up 30% but they're struggling to get hold of the chips to fulfil all their orders. imagine our builds have anything from may be one or two components right up to several thousand components per printed circuit board. and if you've got one or two of those components missing, then it's going to cause a certain headache. what's affecting this really is the lead times

and are now pushing out. because there is no stocks with our distributors, and the lead time for the actual manufacturers to try and catch up is extending in some cases beyond 56 weeks. and of course that causes major potential issues with our customers. you might well be thinking, why notjust build more factories and make more chips? but it isn't that simple. making chips is probably the most capital intensive business that you could go into. so to just give you a sense of that, the leading players spend in the region of $20—30 billion a year on building their chip factories. and even the kind of lagging edge middle—of—the—road kind of players, they're spending two, three, 4 billion per year. so unfortunately not a pandemic opportunity tojump on in the garage. some scenarios reckon it will take two years to get this all sorted. and it could mean lots of everyday

tech items could cost a bit more, till the supply problem is fixed. and just while we're talking about tech, results overnight from amazon, it's reported a tripling of profits for the first three months of the year hit £5.7 billion, up from £1.8 billion the same time last year. in the pandemic, clearly more of our shopping online, amazing news for companies like amazon whatever you think of it. thank you very much, then. let's take a look at today's papers. the guardian leads with its exclusive investigation, which we covered earlier, into the actor and producer noel clarke. the paper has published allegations by 20 women about his behaviour between 2004 and 2019. he vehemently denies doing anything wrong. the i reports that people in their late 30s will begin receiving covid vaccination appointments in about two weeks. it says the uk is "starting

to pull ahead" of its jab schedule and claims the roll—out is accelerating. the times has a photograph of the duke and duchess of cambridge, who celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary yesterday, with their son, prince louis. the couple released a video of them toasting marshmallows with their children. and one of the most read stories on bbc news is about a team of polish scientists who say they have discovered the only known example of a pregnant egyptian mummy. i have a couple of really interesting stories and i have a little quiz for you as well. i wanted to show you this, this is john who set a world record leap of 131 feet without a parachute. he has gone into the guinness book of records, he has been recognised as doing the highestjump from an aircraft into water. the helicopter above, aircraft into water. the helicopter above. he — aircraft into water. the helicopter above. he is _ aircraft into water. the helicopter above, he is literally _ aircraft into water. the helicopter above, he is literally halfway - aircraft into water. the helicopter| above, he is literally halfway down that shot. he

the show is back on the road and rolling into town for a big weekend that has been a long time coming. 3000 people congregating together in one place. hopefully, all relaxed and a few drinks in them and they will be cool and looking forward to the excitement of the whole night. and this draughty warehouse turned nightclub is the perfect place to get people back together. i've done a couple of social distancing gigs, over the summer. how were they? they were ok. i mean, it was nice to see people, but you are told to sit down and don't dance. keep your voice down. all the opposite of what i've been trying to do for years. going back to the authentic rave, if you like. that is supremely exciting for us all. and it's going to be a step to the future, hopefully.

across the city, there's an even bigger gig on sunday. here, too, no masks, no social distancing. though all 5000 will be tested before and after. i can assure you it will feel like the real thing. i suspect i will have a tear in my eye, quite frankly. i can only imagine what it is going to be like for the bands. headlining are blossoms, all the way from stockport, after a year of playing at home, stuck like everyone else in this business. i still can't actually imagine it. it has been such a while. to see people together. we could be a bit taken back by it. but we'll probablyjust be

focusing on not messing up. we haven't played for that long. remembering the words and stuff. i'll probably be able to enjoy it like two songs from the end. at first, i'lljust be like, "play it right, play it right." and it is no surprise in this city, the fans are keen. i'm excited for the event. just the idea of being in a crowd and feeling normal again. that's what i'm really looking forward to. i wouldn't say i've got concerns. the other half's a bit concerned. she is a primary school teacher. she is a little bit worried, - you know, if any one test positive. more worried about work. but i've been saying all week the show's got to go on. - back at the warehouse, they are almost ready. we've got perfect natural ventilation here. large openings all down one side of the building. the sensors will detect carbon dioxide levels to work out if the airflow is good enough to stop the virus spreading. so by measuring the amount of co2 in the space, we are able to estimate

the ventilation flow rate. but, more importantly, we are able to investigate the fresh air distribution. how does that air move around the space and around the people? this is a big dealfor a city that sends music around the world and relies on live entertainment and nightlife. that first song, when the blossoms start singing and the whole crowd goes ballistic, will be a massive emotional moment. but it is also important to the rest of the country and for the covid generation. this weekend, we will show them what it was like before. because for loads of those 16 to 18—year—olds, they've never experienced it. so notjust to be doing the first kind of two post lockdown gigs, if you like, we are also opening up a whole new world to a whole new load of 18—year—olds for the first time ever. they are pioneers, aren't they? covid's woodstock. and with music finally starting to get back to full volume, these will be gigs nobody wants to end.

we'll probably be at the front of the stage, looking out. it'll be encore after encore. i've never done an encore. it's probably the time to do it, isn't it, this gig? of course you've done an encore. not like a proper encore, unplanned. play charlemagne again. three times. i'll do that. danjohnson, bbc news, liverpool. many excited people there! absolutely and we will be very interested to see how it works out. still to come on today's programme. the ex—england rugby player mike tindall has been talking about the impact of lockdown on people with parkinson's disease which includes his dad. mike will be telling us more in a few minutes. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. friends of the 20—year—old man who died afterjumping into the river thames to rescue

a woman who'd fallen in are gathering to remember him this evening. there've been calls for folajimi olubunmi—adewole, who was known asjimi, to be honoured for his act of bravery. some of his friends plan to meet in a park in southeast london later and release balloons in his memory. london city has become the world's first major airport that's fully controlled remotely — via a digital tower. all flights are being guided to take off and land by controllers who have relocated more than 70 miles away to hampshire. a 50m tall digital control tower has been built at the airport, equipped with cameras. now planning a wedding can be very stressful — not least for those who've been doing it in the midst of a pandemic with changing restrictions on what's allowed bbc london has been speaking to couples in the capital. we've had to postpone our wedding twice now. we're hoping that we can make it work in august. very much. i think i've probably been a lot

more anxious than tom has. we are hopefully in a good place now, but yeah, it hasn't been as fun as we would have hoped, wedding planning with all these worries. you don't start having kids or anything, that's been postponed the entire time our wedding has been postponed for. so moving on finally would also be good, into our next stage of life. londoners hoping to head out of the city over this weekend are being warned to expect delays on the roads — it's predicted it'll be the busiest may bank holiday weekend in five years. a poll by the rac suggests nearly 15 million trips are being planned between friday and monday — it's thought many people will be wanting to make the most of the easing of covid restrictions. let's take a look at the travel situation now. the tube is all looking good so far — just the waterloo & city line closure as usual. in willesden, police have closed off the a407 high road in both directions from dudden hill lane to belton road.

now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's another day of sunny spells but also possibly some heavy april showers. it has been a chilly, frosty start, particularly in rural spots. lots of early sunshine. we will see some more fairweather cloud bubble up as we head through the late morning and into the afternoon. so more like sunny spells, then. watch out for these showers that will start to build. some of those showers could be heavy and they will be slow moving, because the winds are lighter than they were yesterday, so they could last for some time. temperatures just slightly higher than they were yesterday. as with all april showers, these will be hit or miss. some places will see them, other places stay completely dry. as we head through this evening and overnight, any showers that we do catch and the cloud will melt away to leave us with a dry night with some long, clear spells. and temperatures will drop very close to freezing again, so another cold, possibly frosty start to the weekend.

over the weekend, sunny spells and some further april downpours. temperatures still rather low for this time of year. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on the programme this morning. today would have been captain sir tom moore's101st birthday and we're all invited to celebrate his legacy with a bit of a challenge. we'll be at lord's cricket ground with captain sir tom's family to find out more. there's been a rise in dogs attacking sheep during the pandemic. we're going to a farm to learn how it affects livestock and what we can do to help. all right, mate. all right, mate. i'm interested in one thing, and one thing only. bent coppers. the drama is fantastic! if you are

mystified by that, fair enough. we're gearing up for this weekend's line of duty finale in a big way with some well—placed informants, including the actor craig parkinson, who will be talking to us later on. good morning. living with parkinson's disease can be extremely tough at the best of times — but the pandemic has thrown up many extra challenges. someone who knows that only too well is mike tindall — the former england, bath and gloucester rugby player — whose father philip has parkinson's. mikejoins us now. good morning. good morning, how are we? not too bad. haifa good morning. good morning, how are we? not too bad.— we? not too bad. how are you? very well, bright — we? not too bad. how are you? very well, bright and _ we? not too bad. how are you? very well, bright and breezy. _

better than i was at rugby. i do not like pulling out the cv, but i do! 2003, that would be the england world cup win. that is the point. it was in australia when we were already out there for the world cup that he told me. they were unbelievable supporters throughout my career. the first two years, when i was at bath, they travelled to every game, even second team. mid week they would work all day, get in the car, watch the game, drive back. a mile round trip. they were committed. it worried me when they said they did not know how long it would last. thanks for the vote of confidence! they travelled everywhere. their support was so nice. to know they would be at every

game. in 2003 when we were at the world cup, dad said he had twinges in his hands. finding it more difficult to write. it took two years before he went to get it checked. and that is when he got the diagnosis. when that happened, i did not pay that much attention. i saw the most famous person to me, muhammad ali, and what he looks like. i did not really understand the process of how it could end up at that point. that is one thing i regret. not putting more pressure on him to do more back then. the research and drugs taking then probably different to what they are now. ~ ., ., , ., probably different to what they are now. ~ ., ., ,., ., probably different to what they are now. ~ . ., ., ., , , now. what about now, how is his condition? _ now. what about now, how is his condition? it _ now. what about now, how is his condition? it is _ now. what about now, how is his

and that knocked him for six and he lost a lot of weight and muscle. and thenit lost a lot of weight and muscle. and then it becomes an uphill battle. that has been the problem the past five years, trying to get back to that. and then in lockdown, and you are not really going anywhere. it has been hard. the parkinson's nurses have had to be used elsewhere with the pandemic. it has been hard for them to speak to people. it has been tough for him. this for them to speak to people. it has been tough for him.— been tough for him. this is something _ been tough for him. this is something that _ been tough for him. this is something that a _ been tough for him. this is something that a lot - been tough for him. this is something that a lot of- been tough for him. this is - something that a lot of families will understand. for different reasons. your mum, linda, how is she? the pressure it puts on loved ones, especially as you said in the pandemic, when others are may be not able to be in the house. it puts enormous pressure on loved ones. mr;

enormous pressure on loved ones. iji mum, enormous pressure on loved ones. m1 mum, whether right or wrong, she has taken it on her shoulders to be that carer. we have had discussions numerous times that that is not her job, herjob is to love her husband, but also have a life. obviously that has been taken away anyway through the pandemic. they are both on the vulnerable list. they have not really left their house since march last year. it has been difficult to for them not to see anyone, not to be able to check up on what is going on drugs wise for parkinson's. it has been tough for my mum. dad, being the bloke he is, possibly does not realise it all the time, so we tried to remind him it is hard for mum. and once we get through this and i can get there a bit more, we

can give him something to look forward to, getting out and about. seeing the kids. as good as online calls are, it is not the same as having kids in the house and having them running around. so looking forward to getting back to that point where i can go and see him. now i can, i need to get up and see them. , ., , ., now i can, i need to get up and see them. i. , ., ., them. remind yourself of that. good oint. you them. remind yourself of that. good point. you talked _ them. remind yourself of that. good point. you talked about _ them. remind yourself of that. good point. you talked about the - them. remind yourself of that. good point. you talked about the pressure j point. you talked about the pressure it puts on families. you talk about medical conditions in families and recognising it and talking about it. were you the kind of family who was open about this? sometimes men do this a lot, they do not talk about health, concerns. how has that worked out with you and your family? i would say... i do not think my mum has any issues talking about it. the

boys on our side to do. if you asked my dad how much pain he was in, he would always say, i am fine. i think that has been some of the issues in terms of medication, him taking a lead on what he needs to do, whether going to the gym and everything else. that is something of that generation. i think this generation is going to move forward with that. why did it take two years to get diagnosed when he knew something was wrong with his hands? i think we are better now and it will get better with the next generation in terms of if you feel or notice something. don't think it will magically disappear. you have to be ahead of the game. ultimately, that will give you longer down the road, if you take medication earlier and change

your lifestyle to suit, that will pay dividends later. i your lifestyle to suit, that will pay dividends later.— your lifestyle to suit, that will pay dividends later. i love that idea. so many _ pay dividends later. i love that idea. so many will— pay dividends later. i love that idea. so many will tap - pay dividends later. i love that idea. so many will tap into - pay dividends later. i love that i idea. so many will tap into what pay dividends later. i love that - idea. so many will tap into what you said. you ask that question of a loved one. it applies to other things like mental health. and a big part of that with parkinson's, how people are in themselves. that first question, people say i am fine. you have to ask again and may be again to elicit something to make sure it is not left. it to elicit something to make sure it is not left. , is not left. it is giving the confidence. _ is not left. it is giving the confidence. for _ is not left. it is giving thej confidence. for example, is not left. it is giving the - confidence. for example, when we lost... the baby that we lost, you did not know what to talk about. i know social media has taken a bashing at the moment, but at that .1 of the most amazing things was people sharing stories, on social

media and by letter. you realise how common it is. then it was something you were not too worried about talking about because you knew... you were amazed by how many people it was happening to. that is the same with anything. if you do not share, you do not realise what other people might be going through as well. it helps you understand that people do not mind if you are going through a bad time. they prefer to know about it and try to help you. then something bad happens because you did not share it. xyour then something bad happens because you did not share it.— you did not share it. your family, because of— you did not share it. your family, because of your _ you did not share it. your family, because of your connection - you did not share it. your family, because of your connection with l you did not share it. your family, i because of your connection with the royal family, because of your connection with the royalfamily, they because of your connection with the royal family, they have stepped into a different world altogether. the common themes about how covid has affected people, it affected the royalfamily, as affected people, it affected the royal family, as we witnessed with the funeral of the duke of edinburgh. you were there and know

in the europa league semifinals last night. manchester united thrashed roma 6—2, while arsenal may have been, beaten by spanish side villarreal, they gave themselves hope ahead of the second legs. sports correspondent andy swiss was watching. it might be europe's second—best competition, but for manchester united, the pressure was on. after four semifinal defeats in barely a year, this time, roma stood in their way, although not in bruno fernandes'. he puts manchester united ahead! a perfect start for united, but it didn't last. a handball against paul pogba allowing lorenzo pellegrini to level things up. and, come the break, roma were ahead. former manchester city striker edin dzeko certainly enjoyed that one. united certainly didn't. but in the second half, how they turned things round. edison cavani with a stunning finish and then a far simpler one. united were back in front and they eased clear. after a penalty, a paul pogba header, before the icing on the cake. mason greenwood completing a 6—2 win. the second leg to come, but united in total control.

as for arsenal, well, they were up against a former manager, unai emery, now in charge of villarreal, and that ghost of gunners past was back to haunt them. manu trigueros thumped the hosts ahead. and soon it was 2—0. arsenal dithered and raul albiol doubled villarreal�*s lead, much to his manager's manifest delight. and after the break, arsenal's woes worsened. dani ceballos sent off, so how they needed this. a late penalty from nicolas pepe. a 2—1first—leg defeat for arsenal, but their hopes are still alive. andy swiss, bbc news. last night's game in the super league between wigan and hull was overshadowed by an allegation of racist abuse. the hull player andre savelio, made the accusation against a wigan player during the first half. the referee placed the incident on report, which means it will now be investigated. wigan went on to win the game 16—14 to maintain their 100% start to the season.

it was one of those days at the snooker, when former champion shaun murphy should have taken a good book. maybe even war and peace, he was sat watching for so long. it was all because kyren wilson was a relentless potting machine. he won five frames in a row at one point, and murphy hardly had a look in. so wilson has a 6—2 lead going into this afternoon's semifinal at the world snooker championships, but it's a new day and he still needs 11 more, if he's to make the final. three—time champion mark selby�*s match with 2015 winner stuart bingham is nip and tuck. they were locked at 4—all after the first session of their semifinal. it resumes later this morning. and then the final itself on sunday and monday across the bbc. given the wet bank holiday weekend, watching the snooker, along with a capacity crowd, it might not be such a bad thing. home indoors. matt will tell us what will happen this weekend.

blue skies but frost has been prevalent all month. every single morning it somewhere in the uk and it is back again this morning as you can see in nottinghamshire. a lovely start, check out the sunrise here a short while ago. but more substantial rain on the way with this cloud pushing towards us in time for bank holiday monday with wet and windy weather. the speckled cloud indicates showers. in parts of south—east scotland, eastern counties of england, showers are heavy. showers elsewhere. most start the day dry, but cloud will build, and then heavier showers developed. parts of wales, south—west england prone to some of the heaviest later. in between, temperatures 11—13.

showers rumble on before fading overnight. with clear skies, light wind, we go into the first day of may with yet another frost. a colder start tomorrow and another frost on sunday morning. the weekend a story of sunshine and showers. bank holiday monday, more details on the next hour, it will be wetter and windy. and all of us will see rain at some point, i think. it would have been captain sir tom moore's101st birthday today. that means it's exactly a year since — here on breakfast — we watched him complete his incredible fundraising challenge for the nhs. captain tom died in february. but his spirit lives on and now it's our turn to take on a challenge. john maguire is at lord's cricket ground.

looks beautiful. you will tell us how people can get involved. good morning. we remember captain sir tom moore was a massive cricket fan. when we celebrated his milestones, completing his 100 laps. his 100th birthday when the knighthood was announced. we got stars from the world of cricket to talk to him because he was a lifelong fan. we are at lord's, the home of cricket and for the next day, the home of the captain tom 100. the idea is to inspire people. we talked about him as an inspirational character. to inspire all ages to get out, raise money eitherfor his all ages to get out, raise money either for his foundation or one of their local charities. you can do whatever you like as long as it has the theme of 100. here are some

ideas. known as the skipping sikh, rajinder singh, who has skipped since he was a young boy, was persuaded by his daughter to film and publish videos of his fitness regime. it has earned him an mbe and a tribute in captain sir tom's book, who was impressed rajinder was exercising well into his 70s. i respect him so much. he is my role model. i'll neverforget, never. he is raising money for the mental health charity mencap. tomorrow, you will maybe find everything will be much better than today. even if today was all right. that's the way i think i've always looked at it. tomorrow will be a good day. a year ago, captain tom celebrated his centenary in some style. he was already well on the way to his £40 million totalfor nhs charities after the famous 100 laps of his back garden. day after day after day,

with the money getting bigger and bigger, every day seemed to be a highlight. i mean, really, the amount of money that people have subscribed to this fund is absolutely enormous. never in 100 years would you anticipate it. his exploits captured the world's imagination and inspired people to challenge themselves, striking a particular chord with the not so young and the very young. hi, i'm harry. hi. this is amelia. and we are doing the tom 100 challenge. i am doing 100 backflips and amelia is doing 100 jumps. bouncing their way to raise money for young at heart, the charity that has helped take care of four—year—old amelia, she and her older brother harry will be spending most of the weekend on their trampoline. we've been following captain tom, haven't we? inspired by the fact that he was doing the walk for the nhs.

the nhs means a lot to us. because amelia has a rare heart condition and a tracheostomy. so she has spent quite a long time at birmingham children's hospital. hi, i'm going to be climbing this wall 100 times for captain tom. and there are so many others. hi, my name is tony and i'm walking 100 steps for captain tom. i'm ruth. i'm dancing 100 times en pointe in honour of captain tom. hi, i'm dan. we were really excited to be able to support the challenge 100. - i've just done my 100 push—ups here. we are really excited because it is helping| to raise money, but, | equally, recognise all of the incredible work that captain tom did i for the entire country.

along with inspiration, the challenge also encourages innovation. someone has even left a carpet down there. oh, my gosh, do you want to go and get it? heather has pledged to raise money for her local hospital while picking up 100 pieces of rubbish. i want to challenge people. if they are not doing anything for the captain tom 100, that they could do something like this. anybody watching, please do what you can to help the environment, but also help captain tom and keep his legacy alive. so, whether it is litter picking, skipping, bouncing, or everything in between, this is captain tom's legacy. people who are determined to make a difference. the only rules, boundaries, your imagination and that number 100. lord's is gorgeous this morning. always wonderful weather when we talk matters captain tom. the new

stand, eitherside talk matters captain tom. the new stand, either side of the media centre. and of course the famous members pavilion and there is a bell at the end of the pavilion normally run before significant matches. internationals, things like that. captain tom's daughter and grandchildren will ring the bell to start a weekend of fundraising. he may not be here himself in body, and we all wish he was, but he will certainly be here with a very large presence and that huge spirit. we will be back with you later. a beautiful setting. more coming up on the programme and we will talk to troy deeney. watford football club captain. time now to get the news where you are. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. tributes are being paid today by friends of the 20—year—old man who died afterjumping into the river thames to rescue a stranger. there've been calls for folajimi olubunmi—adewole, who was known asjimi,

to be honoured for his act of bravery. some of his friends plan to meet in a park in south east london later and release balloons in his memory. london city has become the world's first major airport that's fully controlled remotely via a digital tower. all flights are being guided to take off and land by controllers who have relocated more than 70 miles away to hampshire. they get their information from cameras on the tower and radar information. now, planning a wedding can be very stressful. not least for those who've been doing it in the mdist of a pandemic. with changing restrictions on what's allowed, bbc london has been speaking to couples in the capital. we've had to postpone our wedding twice now. we're hoping that we can make it work in august. very much. i think i've probably been a lot more anxious than tom has. we are hopefully in a good place now, but yeah, it hasn't been as fun as we would have hoped, wedding planning with all these worries. you don't start having kids or anything, that's been postponed

the entire time our wedding has been postponed for. so moving on finally would also be good, into our next stage of life. londoners hoping to head out of the city over this weekend are being warned to expect delays on the roads. it's predicted it'll be the busiest may bank holiday weekend in five years. a poll by the rac suggests nearly 15 million trips are being planned between friday and monday. it's thought many people will be wanting to make the most of the easing of covid restrictions. let's take a look at the travel situation now. the tube is all looking good so far, just the waterloo and city line closure as usual. here's how it looks on the roads in east london. traffic is building on the highway heading towards tower bridge. and in streatham there's a lane blocked on the a23 high road now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's another day of sunny spells

but also possibly some heavy april showers. it has been a chilly, frosty start, particularly in rural spots. lots of early sunshine. we will see some more fairweather cloud bubble up as we head through the late morning and into the afternoon. so more like sunny spells, then. watch out for these showers that will start to build. some of those showers could be heavy and they will be slow moving, because the winds are lighter than they were yesterday, so they could last for some time. temperatures just slightly higher than they were yesterday. as with all april showers, these will be hit or miss. some places will see them, other places stay completely dry. as we head through this evening and overnight, any showers that we do catch and the cloud will melt away to leave us with a dry night with some long, clear spells. and temperatures will drop very close to freezing again, so another cold, possibly frosty start to the weekend. over the weekend, sunny spells and some further april downpours. temperatures still rather low for this time of year. i'm back in half an hour.

plenty more on our website. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. dozens of people are killed and many more injured in a stampede at a religious festival in israel.

we saw paramedics running by mid cpr on kids. then one after the other they started coming out, ambulances, then we understood something was going on here. sport goes silent. football, rugby, cricket and more will start a four day boycott of social media today, to tackle online abuse. actor and director noel clarke is suspended by bafta, after allegations of sexual harrassment. the europa league final beckons for manchester united, who hit six past roma at old trafford, in a stunning second half come back in their semi—final. if you are after rain at the moment, and you missed the big billowing shower clouds around over the next few days, the bank holiday monday is wet and windy for most of us. the full forecast on breakfast. it's friday the 30th of april. at least 44 people have been killed in a stampede at a religious festival in israel. emergency services say they are also

dealing with multiple casualties following the crush at mount meron, near the sea of galilee. prime minister benjamin netanyahu described it as a "heavy disaster". courtney bembridge reports. videos uploaded to social media show the chaotic scenes. tens of thousands of people crushed together at the foot of mount meron. it was supposed to be a celebration, a night of prayer, singing and dancing. translation: iwas there, inside. it was crowded and there were around 60,000 to 70,000 people. no place to move. then people started to fall on the ground. they fell a lot on the ground. all of a sudden we saw paramedics, whatever, running by, like mid—cpr on kids. then, one after the other, there started coming ambulances. then we understood like something is going on here. many people had been watching

the event live on television. emergency services struggled to reach those who were injured because of the crowds. the roads were also congested and military helicopters were brought in to take the injured to hospital. many of the first responders were volunteers, now being offered counselling. we just finished treating one of israel's worst disasters. the terrible disaster of people who came to celebrate lag b'omer. and, unfortunately, were literally crushed to death. the evening event is the start of the religious festival, but all future events have been cancelled because of the disaster. courtney bembridge, bbc news. a complete sporting boycott of social media will start this afternoon. clubs and players from sports including football, cricket, rugby and tennis willjoin official associations and some sponsors in the four—day protest. they want facebook, instagram and twitter to do more to tackle

people who use their sites to leave racist and sexist comments. nesta mcgregor has more details. taking the knee, slogans, banners, big campaigns. now football's latest attempt to stamp out racism is digital silence. do i think it will make a difference? probably not. but what it does do, it sends a warning to these companies to let these people know that we're not going to take this abuse any more. led by the premier league, efl and with support from the other major sports, a vow of silence on the platforms where the abuse takes place. if they still don't take action, then i think you'll see these clubs, players, staff, corporations, start to get together and think of more tough measures to take to finally force action. for some, the boycott doesn't go far enough, though, or address why people behave like this in the first place. but as seen recently,

football does have the power to affect change or prevent it. even before the lockdown kicked in, we were seeing significant increases in reported incidents based on discrimination. so this isn'tjust online. the fact that we've not been in grounds and we haven't had grassroots football, i think is hiding the fact that this is a problem in society. there's no room for racism. with the spotlight on social media companies, facebook, which owns instagram, recently gave users more control over who can message them privately. this isn't about profit and it's not about money. we've been working on some of these tools for a very long time. regardless of any calls for boycotts. how to handle being racially abused at work is a conversation andros had with his dad. the 29—year—old hopes it's not a lesson he'll have to pass down. hopefully we will have eradicated the problem. i feel like it is all about education, like i've said before. and hopefully, if we

educate the kids now, when they are in their 20s and in their 30s, we're not receiving the same racist abuse on daily basis. hopefully i won't have to have these tough conversations with my son when he's older. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. bafta has suspended the actor and director noel clarke just weeks after he received one of its top awards following allegations of sexual harassment and bullying. the "kidulthood" and "doctor who" actor vehemently denies any misconduct or wrongdoing. tim muffett reports. viewpoint, itv�*s new police drama starring noel clarke. the actor made his first tv appearance more than 20 years ago. and there have been many more since then. but it's his work behind the camera that has won him huge critical acclaim with the likes of the hood trilogy of kidulthood, adulthood and brotherhood. earlier this month, he received an outstanding

contribution award from bafta, one of the academy's highest accolades. last night, bafta issued a statement. it said that... it follows a range of allegations concerning the actor's behaviour, allegations which he vehemently denies. in a statement, noel clarke said... tim muffett, bbc news.

showers in the south and west, most try to start the day but the shower clouds will be building up. —— most places will be dry to start. the show as well get going in the afternoon and it will be cold particularly when the showers go through. only seven to 10 degrees along the eastern coast. the south—west and wales could have the heavy showers today, two lines to cornwall to parts of wiltshire and wales, lincolnshire threw towards the pennines as well. the odd shower dotted around elsewhere, going to be a case of hit and miss. some garden staying dry yet again, but that will change this weekend. where you see the showers, slow—moving, hail and thunder and over higher ground, sleet and snow. the showers continue overnight particularly in northern and eastern parts of scotland, but many places dry with clear skies and guess what, another frost to take us into the first day of may. i frost on sunday morning as well, saturday and sunday a mixture of sunshine and

showers. i have to show you this chart which we have not seen for a long time. a bright start but then windy and gales in places most of it on monday. thank you very much. it's been three weeks since a volcano erupted on the caribbean island of st vincent causing a huge amount of damage to both tourist and residential areas. thousands of properties were covered in ash, and around 15% of the island's population remain in emergency shelters or temporary accommodation. our correspondent, will grant, has been to st vincent to see how the clean—up operation is going. the aftermath of the eruption of la soufriere is hauntingly beautiful and destructive. the explosion left hillsides denuded of their tree cover and a ghostly coating of white ash over every inch of st vincent's northern coastline. the pyroclastic lava flows brought tens of thousands of tonnes

of material down the mountainside, and a hail of dust and stones showered over the villages below. one of them was sandy bay, a picturesque fishing village reduced to a dust bowl overnight. located in the worst affected red zone, evacuated villagers now risk fresh emissions and mudslides to clear the debris. we have 295 students... the local primary school schoolteacher is ms francois. her pupils had been preparing to return to class after months of home—schooling during the pandemic. the volcano ended that plan when the school roof came down under the weight of the ash fall. i was really distressed, knowing that so many students would be out of an education for a while. now the time that they should rebuild the proper structure that they had said they are going to build. there isn't a home, vehicle or a surface in st vincent that

isn't covered by a thick layer of this very fine volcanic dust. with hurricane season approaching, it is going to take this community and st vincent as a whole many months to recover from this. it's a multidimensional challenge of immense proportions. st vincent's prime minister says the eruption has compounded the problems created by coronavirus. plus, of course, the desolation in the northern third of the country. the complete decimation of agriculture and animal husbandry in that one third. the infrastructure has been shot through. the island has recently held a national day of prayer, thankful it wasn't a national day of mourning. but the evacuees at this shelter are still victims, of an act of god which put their families at risk. around 15% of st vincent's population was forced

from their homes, many sleeping in converted classrooms, eating donated meals, relying on charity. yet this woman says it wasn't hard to drop everything and run. because of fright, i didn't even think about leaving everything behind. she lost her teenage daughter in a bus crash a few years ago and says leaving material things was easy in comparison. it was just, get out of here, be safe. that is the only saving grace of this huge disruption to st vincent, that no one died. but the volcano is still active and the scale of the tragedy for a small island is vast. homes, crops, animals, entire livelihoods buried beneath the ash. will grant, bbc news, st vincent. more images, really bringing home what they had to deal with. contrast with such a beautiful _

what they had to deal with. contrast with such a beautiful place - what they had to deal with. contrast with such a beautiful place and - what they had to deal with. contrast with such a beautiful place and the i with such a beautiful place and the devastation that has been reached. 20 minutes past seven. if you're thinking of taking your dog for a walk in this countryside over the bank holiday weekend, the message from farmers is to please keep it on a lead. they say the rise in both dog ownership and rambling during the pandemic has led to more attacks on flocks. fi lamdin can tell us more, she's on dartmoor. there are some very happy sheep behind you and we want to keep it that way, don't we? good morning. good morning, yes, neiland his daughter arejust good morning, yes, neiland his daughter are just marking up some of their new lambs. they have 2000 in their new lambs. they have 2000 in their flock here at a couple of weeks ago, there was a dog attack and it took out many of the lambs. in my report, you might find some of these images are distressing. easter sunday morning, get here today, some people out last night for a nice bank holiday walk

with their dog, dog disappeared for five minutes, yeah. only bit one sheep. neil cole lost 30 lambs and eight ewes after a dog chased some of his flock earlier this month. and to see ewes dead, lying in the field in distress, is, how do you explain that? i can only say, your heart sinks. why do you let your dogs off a field full of sheep? and he's not alone. in dartmoor, there have been 52 attacks on livestock reported so far this year. i'm getting calls almost daily about dog attacks. the injuries that sheep suffer through dogs are absolutely horrendous. in the hot weather, they can end up getting maggots onjust a small little bite mark, or the stress alone from chasing them can mean that they abort their lambs. it's a real problem. going to go short, back

in, praise him back. there has been an 11% increase in pet ownership since lockdown, with many more of us now getting dogs. and that's why training courses like these are so important if we are to keep our dogs under control in the countryside. come, mouse, come, mouse, come! my whippet mouse and i were invited along. all the distractions and smells of being outside within the confines of safe strict schooling. people have had the lockdown puppies, and they're now showing signs of either anti—social behaviour or potentially chasing livestock. my advice is not to let your dogs out to chase anything, whether that's squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, because ultimately if your dog is going to start to chase a squirrel, then they're going to chase deer, livestock, anything, really. sit, sit. leave it. we used to call her betsy bonkers,

ok, so this is why we had to do a couple of courses. she's a cockapoo, they're very bright, they need stimulation, and it's an ongoing feast with this one. if i'm not continually reinforcing her training, we are going to have problems. i think anybody who doesn't try and train their dog properly is a fool. and an anti—social fool. the national sheep association say two thirds of farmers they surveyed have seen an increase in dog attacks since lockdown. i would like to see the law and the guidance around the need for dogs to be on a lead changed. i think it should become an absolute requirement for dogs to be on a lead in the vicinity of livestock, full stop. that would stop them attacking sheep. sheep worrying is not only costing farmers thousands of pounds, but more than half say it's affected their mental health. i can only describe it

as somebody putting their life into creating this piece of art, to have somebody come and stick their boot through it and just smash it. and it'sjust... yeah, i can't really describe it. it just makes you feel sick to the stomach. as we were filming, this lamb, just a few minutes old, finds its feet. steady. this is the ending they are working so hard for and are so desperate to protect. so, this morning, they are marking some of the flock so that when they are on the common, neil can tell which sheep are his. neil, talking to exactly what you are doing. where 'ust -auttin to exactly what you are doing. where just putting the _ to exactly what you are doing. where just putting the same _ to exactly what you are doing. where just putting the same mark _ to exactly what you are doing. where just putting the same mark on - to exactly what you are doing. where just putting the same mark on the i just putting the same mark on the lambs that the mothers had before

morning, john. good morning, naga. we are at lord's, the home of cricket, one of the most famous sports stadium in the uk if not the world. also for this weekend, the home of the start of the captain tom 100 challenge. you will remember one of the things he was determined to do after his incredible last year it a legacy, —— is leave a legacy, not only to the captain tom foundation, but a sense of community and giving, that everyone can take part in something and do a good thing and make a difference. that is what we will be doing here at lord's today. events right across the uk, everyone is invited to join events right across the uk, everyone is invited tojoin in, do something which chimes with the number 100, whatever it is. whether it is sporting, baking, creative, something you can do in your community to make a difference. we will tell you all about that, all about captain 100 after the new

travel and weather where you are this morning. good morning, i'm sonja jessup. tributes are being paid today by friends of the 20—year—old man who died afterjumping into the river thames to rescue a stranger. there've been calls for folajimi olubunmi—adewole, who was known asjimi, to be honoured for his act of bravery. some of his friends plan to meet in a park in southeast london later and release balloons in his memory. london city has become the world's first major airport that's fully controlled remotely, via a digital tower. all flights are being guided to take off and land by controllers who have relocated more than 70 miles away to hampshire. they get their information from cameras on the tower and radar information. planning a wedding can be very stressful, not least for those who've been doing it in the midst of a pandemic, with changing restrictions on what's allowed bbc london has been speaking to couples in the capital. we've had to postpone our wedding twice now.

we're hoping that we can make it work in august. very much. i think i've probably been a lot more anxious than tom has. we are hopefully in a good place now, but yeah, it hasn't been as fun as we would have hoped, wedding planning with all these worries. you don't start having kids or anything, that's been postponed the entire time our wedding has been postponed for. so moving on finally would also be good, into our next stage of life. londoners hoping to head out of the city over this weekend are being warned to expect delays on the roads. it's predicted it'll be the busiest may bank holiday weekend in five years. a poll by the rac suggests nearly 15 million trips are being planned between today and monday. it's thought many people will be wanting to make the most of the easing of covid restrictions. let's take a look at the travel situation. the tube is all looking good so far — just the waterloo and city line

closure as usual. here's how it looks on the roads in east london — traffic is building on the highway heading towards tower bridge. and in streatham, there's a lane blocked on the a23 high road. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's another day of sunny spells but also possibly some heavy april showers. it has been a chilly, frosty start, particularly in rural spots. lots of early sunshine. we will see some more fairweather cloud bubble up as we head through the late morning and into the afternoon. so more like sunny spells, then. watch out for these showers that will start to build. some of those showers could be heavy and they will be slow moving, because the winds are lighter than they were yesterday, so they could last for some time. temperatures just slightly higher than they were yesterday. as with all april showers, these will be hit or miss. some places will see them, other places stay completely dry. as we head through this evening and overnight, any showers that we do catch and the cloud will melt away

to leave us with a dry night with some long, clear spells. and temperatures will drop very close to freezing again, so another cold, possibly frosty, start to the weekend. over the weekend, sunny spells and some further april downpours. temperatures still rather low for this time of year. i'm back in an hour. now it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. let's return to one of our main stories now — that complete sporting boycott of social media for the next four days, starting this afternoon. rugby, cricket and tennis players are among those taking part — and, of course, footballers too — including the watford fc captain troy deeney, who has also just launched a new podcast. troy joins us now. good morning. how are you? i am very

girls, who have nothing to do with anything. it is constant. you are talking daily. not every time you have a bad game, it is daily. sometimes it isjust have a bad game, it is daily. sometimes it is just because people are genuinely bored. i am not a heavy poster. i do not use instagram as everybody else does to post how training is, where they are going, what they are doing. i keep it more separate because of that. because when you are reading things about my daughters. saying things like i hope that n dies, it is difficult to read and also not to react because the other side of the coin, we have to not react. if we react in a human level we will be held accountable for our actions.— level we will be held accountable for our actions. have you been able to exlain for our actions. have you been able

to explain this _ for our actions. have you been able to explain this to _ for our actions. have you been able to explain this to social _ for our actions. have you been able to explain this to social media - to explain this to social media companies, who need to be pushed further to take action, as you say? i have been in meetings and i am due in another one next wednesday. the problem with anything to do with racial discrimination, it does not attach money to it. you saw the uproar with the super league, everybody felt that, it had every fan feeling they would lose a part of their club and everyone acted in a certain way. it was all about money and people thought we need to act now because it will impact us. with race discrimination, it does not hit everybody is hard as the person being discriminated against. it is very difficult to get people to feel the emotional aspect of it because emotion is individual to whoever is feeling aggrieved. iouoihozat whoever is feeling aggrieved. what will make a difference _ whoever is feeling aggrieved. what will make a difference if it is not

ever wipe discrimination from the world. some people arejust ever wipe discrimination from the world. some people are just horrible people, the world is like that. but we have to take a step now. this past 15 months, if it has not changed your opinion on what is going on in the world, we need to have a different conversation. would ou be in a have a different conversation. would you be in a position _ have a different conversation. would you be in a position to _ have a different conversation. would you be in a position to set _ have a different conversation. would you be in a position to set up - you be in a position to set up something else, have the financialbacking? i something else, have the financialbacking?- something else, have the financialbacking? i think the premier league _ financialbacking? i think the premier league and - financialbacking? i think the premier league and fa - financialbacking? i think the i premier league and fa would financialbacking? i think the - premier league and fa would look at something like that. if you look at clubs who try to make their own footballing institution, looking at advertising revenue, doing it themselves. people are fed up. they always listen to the players in the end. we saw it in transfer situations and, hopefully, they will see it from a player perspective that, like i said, there are more high profile people than me getting racially abused every half an hour, an hour. it is disgusting, and until

people understand that, we will have a big problem. in people understand that, we will have a big problem-— a big problem. in the aftermath of the death of— a big problem. in the aftermath of the death of george _ a big problem. in the aftermath of the death of george floyd, - a big problem. in the aftermath of the death of george floyd, there i the death of george floyd, there were conversations amongst players and clubs about taking the knee. can you tell me the part you played in that and how it may have got people to understand more about racism, but also how it made people in the sport feel more supported by each other? the part i played was minimal. it was a collective. i think what it has done is created the fact that we are 15 months on and still talking about it, having a conversation. the frustration is when people try to dirty the water and say it is a political movement. it is nothing to do with that. you also look at matt

hancock coming out and calling on footballers to put money for the nhs. was that not politics? a politician getting footballers involved in politics. nobody wanted to have that narrative because it did not go against what they wanted. you talk about taking of the knee, a small gesture that raises awareness and get kids to ask parents why they are doing that. spark a conversation. now it is politics. we have to be aware that narratives and angles can be changed to fit whatever form of media want to put it out that way. it whatever form of media want to put it out that way-— it out that way. it leads nicely into conversations _ it out that way. it leads nicely into conversations you - it out that way. it leads nicely into conversations you are - it out that way. it leads nicely i into conversations you are having with your podcast. what is the aim of it? it is a big diversion. it is not often we hear current players put in that side of themselves out while still playing. i know you are injured at the moment but you are

being, ratherthan angled at trying to find the human being, rather than asking anthony joshua about the fight going on. it is more about how are you as a parent? these are questions people would like to ask and find out about their stars. ., . ., , ., ., their stars. how much do you give of ourself in their stars. how much do you give of yourself in the _ their stars. how much do you give of yourself in the podcast? _ their stars. how much do you give of yourself in the podcast? like - yourself in the podcast? like anything. — yourself in the podcast? like anything. you _ yourself in the podcast? like anything, you ask _ yourself in the podcast? like anything, you ask me - yourself in the podcast? like anything, you ask me a - yourself in the podcast? i «go; anything, you ask me a question, i will tell you the truth. i am always up will tell you the truth. i am always up front because i always want to get a conversation and move the conversation forward. i am not interested in a generic interview for 20 minutes. this now is very different to what i would do in the football space.— football space. what should i be askino football space. what should i be asking you? _ football space. what should i be asking you? i — football space. what should i be asking you? i am _ football space. what should i be asking you? i am never- football space. what should i be asking you? i am never going i football space. what should i be asking you? i am never going toj football space. what should i be - asking you? i am never going to tell ou to do asking you? i am never going to tell you to do on — asking you? i am never going to tell you to do on your— asking you? i am never going to tell you to do on yourjob. _ asking you? i am never going to tell you to do on yourjob. i _ asking you? i am never going to tell you to do on yourjob. i appreciate l you to do on yourjob. i appreciate these questions because it is a different market space to what i am used to talking in. there are people who do not know who troy deeney is and so maybe these questions and answers they are getting sparks a

with that. he has always had such an impact on the pitch and off. i follow watford. lovely guy. i was shocked he said he gets racist abuse on social media every day. all of the players. talking about his daughters. that brings it home. that really got beat. you can understand the reason behind the social media blackout. it will have such an impact on sport because we are used to seeing players tweeting about stuff on the pitch. we will not see this over the weekend, a player tweeting about the result. bruno fernandes saying i hope you did not stop watching at half—time. man united's talisman, bruno fernandes, said on twitter he hopes people didn't switch off at half—time. if you did, you would have missed manchester united coming from behind and hitting roma for six in the first leg of their europa league semifinal.

it was a dazzling second half display from united who scored five times after the break including two from edinson cavani and this from mason greenwood, who made it 6—2. to concede two goals, in the manner we did, wasn't good enough. but but there are still three times 45 minutes left, so just keep on playing our quality. but run a bit quicker back and be a compact team. and, you know, the boys played some great stuff second half. all credit to them. things were't quite so comfortable for arsenal as they were beaten 2—1 by villareal. the spanish side were two goals up within half an hour and things were looking grim for the gunners. but a late nicolas pepe penalty gave them a vital away goal, making manager mikael arteta a little happier than he was at half—time. i said to them, we have an opportunity. it's a big challenge, what we have ahead of us,

but we have the opportunity to make it, but it has to be now. in the return leg, it is going to be too late. we have to change it right now. if we are able to do that, you are going to get here in a completely different position. we still had another incident, which was the red card, playing with ten men against this team. and the team went to a different level again and we got a goal. an allegation of racist abuse overshadowed last night's game in the super league between wigan and hull. hull's andre savelio made the accusation against a wigan player during the first half. the rfl are investigating. salvio said on social media he won't let things like that go unreported. wigan went on to win the game 16—14 to maintain their 100% start to the season. it's on the line and all to play for, in one of the semi—finals at the world snooker championship. on bbc two from ten you can see who will blink first. with mark selby and stuart bingham's tied at 4—4, going into the morning session.

but another former champion, shaun murphy, isjust hoping to get out of his chair. after struggling against the relentless kyren wilson, who hogged the table and won five frames in a row at one point. so wilson has a 6—2 lead going into this afternoon's semifinal at the championships, but it's a new day and he still needs 11 more, if he's to make the final. at least if shaun murphy does not make the final it means on sunday evening he can watch line of duty on the other side because he is a big fan and he made it clear on social media when he said he is a big fan of dcs carmichael. if you do not watch it, he seems to be one of the baddies. we don't know. inside, snooker, we will take you outside. we are going to northern ireland. that is beautiful. the reason the cameras are there is because things are opening up in connection with restrictions. fora moment,

opening up in connection with restrictions. for a moment, are you looking at this, matt? a beautiful scene. skies like that across most of the uk at the moment but can i contrast it with the image behind me here. it is made tomorrow. snow on the ground in the north—east of scotland this morning. a crazy month, april. frost every morning somewhere in the uk. today, while we have sunshine in northern ireland, we have showers also. a beautiful rainbow captured here. we are watching what is happening to the west, and this will bring more wet weather into monday. but that the moment speckled cloud indicates only a few are seeing showers. heaviest in south—east scotland, eastern counties of england. sleet and snow on higher ground. we have seen it in north—east scotland. showers building in other parts like they

did yesterday with some of the heaviest in the afternoon in south—west england and parts of wales, the pennines, lincolnshire. thunder as well. 13—14 in the west. 7-11 thunder as well. 13—14 in the west. 7—11 down the eastern coast. temperatures drop when showers come through. showers continuing in some parts tonight. most have clear skies. the first morning of may, another frost in parts of the country but it should become less widespread next week. the start of the weekend is cold. a weekend of sunshine and showers like yesterday and much like we will have today. saturday, dry in many areas to start. showers get going through the afternoon. some of the heaviest inland from the coast along southern counties of england and higher ground of wales and pennines. temperatures up a little bit on

today. sunday, perhaps fewer showers. it looks like towards east anglia, south—east, a greater chance of catching a heavier one. cloudy in scotland and northern ireland later, which is the sign of change. bank holiday monday, a bright start for many. low pressure set to come in and bring gale force winds in western areas to begin and rain will start to develop. it will be crucial how far north or south that is. looks like heaviest rain in the northern half of the country. it could stay dry in east anglia and the south—east. and if the rain does arrive here, it will be late in the day. line of duty fans, your wait is nearly over. the series finale is on sunday evening and — as the trailer says — every investigation has led to this.

in a moment, we'll speak to craig parkinson, who played one of the original bent coppers, di dot cottan. first, we can relive some of the tension the last episodes. so what is the truth? you can see my colleague's distress. perhaps we could have a short break. it's a simple enough question for acting detective superintendent davison to answer. no comment. sorry, wrong way. god, this place is a maze.

it is nervy. you can see craig parkinson. aka di matthew cottan, aka dot, aka the caddy, good morning. iam good morning. i am going to warn everyone, you have seen the last episode, which none of us has seen. i will say clearly we are not going to give any hint or spoiler to anything. ok. but we can talk about other stuff because you do a podcast that offers insights and you follow it so closely. where'd you get your information for it? it is it so closely. where'd you get your information for it?— information for it? it is called obsessed _ information for it? it is called obsessed by _ information for it? it is called obsessed by line _ information for it? it is called obsessed by line of - information for it? it is called obsessed by line of duty. i i information for it? it is called i obsessed by line of duty. i was approached to do it and i was nervous because line of duty is a huge deal and show close to my heart

and some of my best friends are still in it. i was involved with the show so long. i was cautious, but i wanted to treat the podcast with the same respect the show gets. it seems to be working. i have gone so deep forensically. i watch every episode three or four times and forensically. i watch every episode three orfour times and i am getting caught with all the theories which have been amazing on social media. it is hilarious. do you ever bother your friend still in it to give you hints? no!— your friend still in it to give you hints? no! ~ , ., .«1 ., ., ., hints? no! why not take advantage? that would spoil— hints? no! why not take advantage? that would spoil the _ hints? no! why not take advantage? that would spoil the fun. _ hints? no! why not take advantage? that would spoil the fun. jed - hints? no! why not take advantage? that would spoil the fun. jed has - that would spoil the fun. jed has always wanted the audience to play detective and he has stepped up his game with hints and possible red herrings and curve balls this season. we have gone on this incredible ride the past weeks and it is hurtling towards the finishing line and it is incredibly tense and

show the chaotic scenes. tens of thousands of people crushed together at the foot of mount meron. it was supposed to be a celebration, a night of prayer, singing and dancing. translation: iwas there, inside. it was crowded and there were around 60,000 to 70,000 people. no place to move. then people started to fall on the ground. they fell a lot on the ground. translation: a terrible load started and what happened _ translation: a terrible load started and what happened was _ translation: a terrible load started and what happened was kind - translation: a terrible load started and what happened was kind of - translation: a terrible load started and what happened was kind of a - and what happened was kind of a carousel. one person pushed another person, so everyone was pushed right and left it. and after 20 minutes, i think, people started suffocating, so they wanted to get out. but no one was able to get out. many people had been watching the event live on television. emergency services struggled to reach those who were injured because of the crowds. the roads were also congested and military helicopters

were brought in to take the injured to hospital. many of the first responders were volunteers, now being offered counselling. we just finished treating one of israel's worst disasters. the terrible disaster of people who came to celebrate lag b'omer. and, unfortunately, were literally crushed to death. the evening event is the start of the religious festival, but all future events have been cancelled because of the disaster. courtney bembridge, bbc news. a complete sporting boycott of social media will start this afternoon in a bid to pressure facebook, twitter and instagram to do more to tackle racist and sexist abuse. players and clubs across football, rugby, tennis and cricket are all supporting the boycott as well as their official associations and some sponsors. earlier the watford captain troy deeney told breakfast it's a big step. i think for a long time, now,

we have all been talking about the impact of social media, that it has on the younger generation, as well as mental health. and i think that if we are not going to put pressure on these huge companies to start taking accountability for some of the things that are not only said to footballers, but to everyday people, then you know we need to start putting pressure on. and get them to be held accountable. the huge part about this is it is only four days. it will give people a perspective of what life will be like without a huge amount of sporting stars on there. bafta has suspended the actor and director noel clarke just weeks after he received one of its top awards following allegations of sexual harassment and bullying. the "kidulthood" and "doctor who" actor vehemently denies any misconduct or wrongdoing. tim muffett reports. viewpoint, itv�*s new police drama starring noel clarke. the actor made his first tv

appearance more than 20 years ago. and there have been many more since then. but it's his work behind the camera that has won him huge critical acclaim with the likes of the hood trilogy of kidulthood, adulthood and brotherhood. earlier this month, he received an outstanding contribution award from bafta, one of the academy's highest accolades. last night, bafta issued a statement. it said that... it follows a range of allegations concerning the actor's behaviour, allegations which he vehemently denies. in a statement, noel clarke said...

he is raising money for the mental health charity mencap. tomorrow, you will maybe find everything will be much better than today. even if today was all right. that's the way i think i've always looked at it. tomorrow will be a good day. a year ago, captain tom celebrated his centenary in some style. he was already well on the way to his £40 million totalfor nhs charities after the famous 100 laps of his back garden. day after day after day, with the money getting bigger and bigger, every day seemed to be a highlight. i mean, really, the amount of money that people have subscribed to this fund is absolutely enormous. never in 100 years would you anticipate it. his exploits captured the world's imagination and inspired people to challenge themselves,

striking a particular chord with the not so young and the very young. hi, i'm harry. hi. this is amelia. and we are doing the tom 100 challenge. i am doing 100 backflips and amelia is doing 100 jumps. bouncing their way to raise money for young at heart, the charity that has helped take care of four—year—old amelia, she and her older brother harry will be spending most of the weekend on their trampoline. we've been following captain tom, haven't we? inspired by the fact that he was doing the walk for the nhs. the nhs means a lot to us. because amelia has a rare heart condition and a tracheostomy. so she has spent quite a long time at birmingham children's hospital. hi, i'm going to be climbing this wall 100 times for captain tom. and there are so many others. hi, my name is tony and i'm walking

100 steps for captain tom. i'm ruth. i'm dancing 100 times en pointe in honour of captain tom. hi, i'm dan. we were really excited to be able to support the challenge 100. - i've just done my 100 push—ups - here in the squirrel monkey exhibit. we are really excited because it is helping| to raise money, but, | equally, recognise all of the incredible work that captain tom did i for the entire country. along with inspiration, the challenge also encourages innovation. someone has even left a carpet down there. oh, my gosh, do you want to go and get it? heather has pledged to raise money for her local hospital while picking up 100 pieces of rubbish. i want to challenge people. if they are not doing anything for the captain tom 100, that they could do something like this. anybody watching, please do what you can to help

the environment, but also help captain tom and keep his legacy alive. so, whether it is litter picking, skipping, bouncing, or everything in between, this is captain tom's legacy. people who are determined to make a difference. we are on one of the balconies at lord's with captain sir tom's family, this is the five minute speu family, this is the five minute spell which is run very auspiciously before major matches this money but we are going to ring it for another reason. applause apology to my colleagues on the sound desk! good morning, everyone, wonderfulto sound desk! good morning, everyone, wonderful to see you as always. hannah, i know you said you didn't want to get emotional, but what a special day. yourfather

many this morning. shower clouds today some of them already on the 901 today some of them already on the go, some flashes of lightning as well. one or two dotted around elsewhere but there is some sleet and snow in higher ground as far south as shropshire, and we could see some wintriness in the show was on the hills today. the showers will be increasing through the day, some of you will be getting wet. cold on the eastern coast, colder than the showers come through, but through parts of devon and cornwall, somerset, dorset, into parts of wiltshire and wales, see some of the heaviest ones in the afternoon. elsewhere, showers are very hit and miss. many a garden will still avoid the welcome drenching of rain but that will change through the weekend as i will show you. certainly the showers will fade away tonight, most

becoming dry once again, and that means that we go into tomorrow morning, it will become another frosty start. as for us to start for sunday, sunshine and showers but look at this, low pressure into monday, wet and windy weather on its way and i will have more details later. slightly distracted over here. you're watching bbc breakfast. still to come on today's programme, we're gearing up for the "line of duty" finale in a big way. you have been trying to interrogate them, but i think what you have had from them is, what? them, but i think what you have had from them is, what? in them, but i think what you have had from them is, what?— from them is, what? in case anyone is readin: from them is, what? in case anyone is reading too _ from them is, what? in case anyone is reading too much _ from them is, what? in case anyone is reading too much into _ from them is, what? in case anyone is reading too much into the - is reading too much into the positioning of the characters, can i just straighten up?— positioning of the characters, can i just straighten up? straightening up kate. do just straighten up? straightening up kate- do you — just straighten up? straightening up kate. do you know _ just straighten up? straightening up kate. do you know what _ just straighten up? straightening up kate. do you know what i _ just straighten up? straightening up kate. do you know what i love? - just straighten up? straightening upj kate. do you know what i love? this is a proper — kate. do you know what i love? this is a proper line-up, _ kate. do you know what i love? this is a proper line-up, isn't _ kate. do you know what i love? this is a proper line-up, isn't it? - kate. do you know what i love? this is a proper line-up, isn't it? going i is a proper line-up, isn't it? going down the line. _ is a proper line-up, isn't it? going down the line. superintendent - down the line. superintendent

for folajimi olubunmi—adewole, who was known asjimi, to be honoured for his act of bravery. some of his friends plan to meet in a park in southeast london later and release balloons in his memory. london city has become the world's first major airport that's fully controlled remotely via a digital tower. all flights are being guided to take off and land by controllers who have relocated more than 70 miles away to hampshire. they can see what's happening using cameras on the tower and radar information. planning a wedding can be very stressful, not least for those who've been doing it in the midst of a pandemic with changing restrictions on what's allowed. bbc london has been speaking to couples in the capital. we've had to postpone our wedding twice now. we're hoping that we can make it work in august. very much. i think i've probably been a lot more anxious than tom has. we are hopefully in a good place now, but yeah, it hasn't been as fun as we would have hoped, wedding

planning with all these worries. you don't start having kids or anything, that's been postponed the entire time our wedding has been postponed for. so moving on finally would also be good, into our next stage of life. londoners hoping to head out of the city over this weekend are being warned to expect delays on the roads=. it's predicted it'll be the busiest may bank holiday weekend in five years. a poll by the rac suggests nearly 15 million trips are being planned between today and monday. it's thought many people will be wanting to make the most of the easing of covid restrictions. let's take a look at the travel situation now. the tube is still running well this morning. just the waterloo & city line closure as usual. here's how it looks on the north circular around arnos grove. it's getting busy westbound heading towards green lanes. and we have delays in sydenham after an accident on the a212 on sydenham road.

now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it's another day of sunny spells but also possibly some heavy april showers. it has been a chilly, frosty start, particularly in rural spots. lots of early sunshine. we will see some more fairweather cloud bubble up as we head through the late morning and into the afternoon. so more like sunny spells, then. watch out for these showers that will start to build. some of those showers could be heavy and they will be slow moving, because the winds are lighter than they were yesterday, so they could last for some time. temperatures just slightly higher than they were yesterday. as with all april showers, these will be hit or miss. some places will see them, other places stay completely dry. as we head through this evening and overnight, any showers that we do catch and the cloud will melt away to leave us with a dry night with some long, clear spells. and temperatures will drop very close to freezing again, so another cold, possibly frosty, start to the weekend. over the weekend, sunny spells and some further april downpours. temperatures still rather low for this time of year.

i'm backjust after 9. now it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one at 9.15. let's find out what's on today's show with kym and gethin. good morning. thanks. coming up on morning live. it's our last show for a few weeks and joining us for the occasion is our very own drxand. he has news on a home testing kit for cancer. plus, he'll be answering some of your questions, so if you have one, please get in touch. also coming up, around four in five adults in the uk sufferfrom back pain. it's something that — for most — improves with time, but for storm keating it turned out to be a severe spinal condition that almost left her paralysed. today, she shares her story and we hear from a top back expert who reveals the signs and symptoms to watch out for that tell you when it's serious. plus, if the fallout

from the european super league has shown us anything, it's the importance of football fans, and today with stadiums up and down the country still shut, we reveal how some clubs are going to extraordinary lengths to keep their supporters and communities connected. it's a really special watch. and, from the european super league to the european song contest. singerjames newman gives us an exclusive performance of this year's uk eurovision. i guarantee it won't be getting �*nul points'. also on the show, as we're spending more time outdoors, will kirk shares his guide on how to revive your tired looking garden furniture, turning it from shabby to chic. and someone who is always on trend is oti mabuse. she'll be treating us to a fun—filled friday workout. all that and more at 9:15. thank you. live music,

where are you trying to say mood music? large crowds and no masks or social distancing. it might sound like a dim and distant memory but that's what lies in store for thousands of people in liverpool this weekend. the city is hosting pilot events for the reopening of the entertainment industry, but if you haven't had a negative covid test, you're not getting in, danjohnson has been finding out. the show is back on the road and rolling into town for a big weekend that has been a long time coming. 3000 people congregating together in one place. hopefully, all relaxed and a few drinks in them and they will be cool and looking forward to the excitement of the whole night. and this draughty warehouse turned nightclub is the perfect place to get people back together.

i've done a couple of social distancing gigs, over the summer. how were they? they were ok. i mean, it was nice to see people, but you are told to sit down and don't dance. keep your voice down. all the opposite of what i've been trying to do for years. going back to the authentic rave, if you like. that is supremely exciting for us all. and it's going to be a step to the future, hopefully. across the city, there's an even bigger gig on sunday. here, too, no masks, no social distancing. though all 5000 will be tested before and after. i can assure you it will feel like the real thing. i suspect i will have a tear in my eye, quite frankly. i can only imagine what it is going to be like for the bands.

headlining are blossoms, all the way from stockport, after a year of playing at home, stuck like everyone else in this business. i still can't actually imagine it. it has been such a while. to see people together. we could be a bit taken back by it. but we'll probablyjust be focusing on not messing up. we haven't played for that long. remembering the words and stuff. i'll probably be able to enjoy it like two songs from the end. at first, i'lljust be like, "play it right, play it right." and it is no surprise, in this city, the fans are keen. i'm excited for the event. just the idea of being in a crowd and feeling normal again. that's what i'm really looking forward to. i wouldn't say i've got concerns. the other half's a bit concerned. she is a primary school teacher. she is a little bit worried, - you know, if any one tests positive. more worried about work.

but i've been saying all week the show's got to go on. - back at the warehouse, they are almost ready. we've got perfect natural ventilation here. large openings all down one side of the building. the sensors will detect carbon dioxide levels to work out if the airflow is good enough to stop the virus spreading. so by measuring the amount of co2 in the space, we are able to estimate the ventilation flow rate. but, more importantly, we are able to investigate the fresh air distribution. how does that air move around the space and around the people? this is a big dealfor a city that sends music around the world and relies on live entertainment and nightlife. that first song, when the blossoms start singing and the whole crowd goes ballistic, will be a massive emotional moment. but it is also important to the rest of the country and for the covid generation. this weekend, we will show them

what it was like before. because for loads of those 16 to 18—year—olds, they've never experienced it. so notjust to be doing the first kind of two post—lockdown gigs, if you like, we are also opening up a whole new world to a whole new load of 18—year—olds for the first time ever. they are pioneers, aren't they? covid's woodstock. and with music finally starting to get back to full volume, these will be gigs nobody wants to end. we'll probably be at the front of the stage, looking out. it'll be encore after encore. i've never done an encore. it's probably the time to do it, isn't it, this gig? of course you've done an encore. not like a proper encore, unplanned. play charlemagne again. three times. i'll do that. danjohnson, bbc news, liverpool. our reporter mairead smyth

you might not expect like a washing machine. and if you have a newer car, plenty of microchips in there. they are the brains and storage devices of everything digital and without them the modern world would grind to a halt but there is a shortage. there are things going on to cause that. lockdown increased demand for laptops, webcams, iphones, games consoles sold out. that led to some of the big firms stockpiling chips to make sure they had enough. only a few companies have factories that build them so when there is disruption it affects everyone. the weather has been a huge impact. the process to make these needs a lot of water and there was a drought in taiwan, freezing conditions in the us, a big fire in japan, and that all caused problems. the first to feel the impact is car—makers. they stopped ordering

them at the height of the pandemic when demand slumped, but underestimated how quickly car sales would bounce back. now they are struggling to get supplies. today bmw will halt production of the mini in oxfordshire. jaguar, land rover, nissan have taken similar action but the big question, how long will it last? it the big question, how long will it last? ., , ., ., ., last? it will not be solved tomorrow for the simple _ last? it will not be solved tomorrow for the simple reason _ last? it will not be solved tomorrow for the simple reason is _ last? it will not be solved tomorrow for the simple reason is you - last? it will not be solved tomorrow for the simple reason is you cannot| for the simple reason is you cannot set out and build a new chip factory in days or weeks, even months. it takes years. as well as the price of your devices that have chips potentially going up, the other thing that might happen is new companies that make electrical devices will have a harder time starting up, because they cannot get their hands on supply. if you are a new company trying to make a smart speaker, you are competing with

apple to get access to the chips. apple, you can guarantee have their supply locked down and are front of the queue, spending more than anyone. how could a start—up compete in an environment when chips are scarce? you would have to shut the company down. scarce? you would have to shut the company down-— scarce? you would have to shut the company down. some scenarios think it will take two _ company down. some scenarios think it will take two macro _ company down. some scenarios think it will take two macro years _ company down. some scenarios think it will take two macro years to - it will take two macro years to clear the backlog. in the meantime, it could mean everyday tech items could cost more until the supply problem is fixed. we had results overnight from amazon. it reported a tripling of profits. for the first three months of the year coming in at £5.7 billion. up from 1.8 billion last year. certainly a winner out of the pandemic. it has been tough for many businesses but not it seems for amazon.

love them or hate them, you cannot avoid the fact they have profited. we can look at our cameras. we are in northern ireland. the reason because there is easing of restrictions. this is the outlook today. it is a stunning day. it is contrasting depending on where you are in the uk. that is beautiful, but i know you have pictures at odds with that from elsewhere. we have seen that this morning. i am longing to see the sea again. we have seen snow in the north—east of scotland. heavy showers elsewhere. and all these clumps of cloud heading our way on bank holiday monday and with it wet and windy weather. at the moment, clumps of

cloud in the form of shower clouds. some of those heavy, some thunder. sleet and snow over higher ground. some to the west becoming numerous in the afternoon. particularly in south—west england and the higher ground of wales where we could see thunder and hail mixed in. ground of wales where we could see thunderand hail mixed in. a ground of wales where we could see thunder and hail mixed in. a pretty chilly day by eastern coasts. tonight, whilst some showers will continue, many will fade away and as we step into the first day of may, frost is back again, we saw frost every day in april and start may the same. a lovely bright start for many as we will see on sunday but the story of the weekend, sunshine and hit and miss showers. even if the

garden is desperate for a drink of rain, no guarantee you will get it. saturday, showers may lead towards eastern counties of england. as temperatures lived on land, cloud bills and heavy showers. over the hills of wales and inland to the south—west coast of england we could see the worst. temperatures still down from where you want to be this stage in early may. another frost on saturday night into sunday morning. and another story of shower clouds building up. feweraround and another story of shower clouds building up. fewer around for many on sunday. most likely to see the heavy showers in the south and east. further west, showers are becoming fewer in number. temperatures rise again a little bit but then downhill into monday. some of you are desperate for rain. i have not seen a chart like this for while. not only heavy rain but strong winds. up

to 50 mph gusts. widespread gales in western and southern parts. at the moment it looks like the heaviest rain in the northern half. with it we could see snow across parts of the higher ground of scotland and northern england, may be. if that move south, we will see more rain in east anglia and the south—east. at the moment it looks like you will get through much of bank holiday monday reasonably dry. next week and beyond, a more changeable pattern with rain coming and going at times but certainly, after an april of frost, we start may with frost and then the return of more substantial rain. would you like to say hello to our berlin characters from line of duty. they are amazing. we can go through the line—up. we can go through the line—up. we have kate fleming. then we
