6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and louise minchin. our headlines today... two police officers are injured during a protest by hundreds of manchester united fans at old trafford. the scenes have been described as "completely unacceptable". and with the players eventually able to leave their hotel, we're waiting to hear when the match against liverpool will be played. restrictions on the number of mourners allowed at funerals are set to be relaxed. you're going to have the best night you've had for a very, very long time. a weekend of experimental non—socially distanced events ends with a concert in liverpool in front
6:01 am
of 5,000 fans. good morning. todayis today is a relatively dry and bright start to the day for many, but rain in the west will sweep east through the day, accompanied by gusty winds. details coming up. good morning. it's monday, the 3rd of may. our top story. police in manchester have called the protests that led to the postponement of manchester united's premier league match against liverpool, "completely unacceptable". two officers were injured after fans stormed the pitch. the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has condemned the violence. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilson reports. the concourse outside old trafford where protesters were expected to congregate... ..to voice their continued opposition to the ownership of manchester united by the glazer family. some protesters soon decided to go further, and ultimately,
6:02 am
onto the pitch itself. this was the scene at one of the most famous football grounds in the world, that revered manchester united pitch, the place of stirring feats of football, occupied. as clashes continued, police reported two injuries to officers, one slashed in the face by a broken bottle. meanwhile, some of those who stayed peacefully outside, were leaving. as we're speaking outside the ground, there are lots of fans actually on the pitch. i mean, what. was there? yeah, yeah. what do you think about that? it's, it's. .. ..it�*s a frustrating thing because obviously, as fans, we want the best for our club. it's been, from when we were young, watched it, it's been magical, you know, history that we've had. and people like, get so annoyed with it. well, they stayed. there was a match due to be played here, a match with direct implications for the outcome of the premier league, supposed to happen here. the direct response from
6:03 am
the premier league was a statement. "fans have many channels by which to make their views known, but the actions of a minority seen today have no justification," it read. and i'm all for protesting, but not like that. you can't protest like that. we've seen events at other football clubs, because they're not happy. but when you get fans breaking into stadiums, when you get fans, eh, hurting police officers, when you get fans smashing glass to get into the hospitality, then that's not the way to do it. that's not acceptable. well, for 16 years, supporters have opposed the glazers. for 16 years, they've believe the family is taking money out of their club. fan power has been reignited by recent opposition to the european super league. this anger runs deeper. does it take something extreme for the glazers just to notice? united! the pitch invaders widely condemned, don't represent all manchester united supporters. far from it.
6:04 am
but the landscape of english football has changed. and these are the images viewed across the premier league's global market place. joe wilson, bbc news in manchester. families and friends will be able to mourn their loved ones in unlimited numbers at funerals in england from 17 may, under new plans. as part of the next step in easing restrictions, the government is preparing to remove the 30—person legal limit a month earlier than planned. this means any number of mourners will be able to gather so long as they can safely socially distance in the venue. a pilot concert in liverpool on sunday saw the largest number of people gather in a small space in the uk since the start of the pandemic. who'd have thought it? sunday's mini—festival in sefton park was one of the government's official trials to research how large events can safely take place again. danjohnson has more — and just to warn you, his report does contain flashing images. it's been a long time since anyone
6:05 am
saw or heard anything like this. crowd cheers. they were ready to raise the level again after life was limited so much. it was just amazing being around people for once. having to be inside for so long, and coming here and socialising, it is amazing. probably the best night of my life, actually! amazing. i thought it was done well, to be honest. i thought the test before, then showing proof at the door, coming in, ithought it was all safe. but at the end of the day, it was all a good laugh as well. i thought it was brilliant. crowd cheers. this was the first gig in front of a live audience for more than a year. you know, the atmosphere was electric. it was like, i don't know. you know, we thought we kind of thought they'd be like that because, you know, you're not had a gig for so long.
6:06 am
but then seeing it and experiencing it... it still was better than i thought. yeah, it was humbling. it was humbling. you're going to have the best night you've had for a very, very long time. headlined by stockport band blossoms. it was how gigs are meant to be, weren't it? yeah. but like, times ten. yeah. gigs are meant to be enjoyed. and because it's been like, a year of none of them, it was like, that pent—up... i didn't see one person who looked bored, and i would notice that! that's the sort of stuff i realised after the gig, but no—one was on their phone. you know, everyone wasjust in the moment, just soaking it up, and it wasjust, yeah, unreal. everyone was tested before, and will be checked again later this week. the question was, could they gather like this and enjoy themselves without the need for masks or social distancing, but without the virus spreading? i'm very moved by this. you see people reconnecting re—learning joy, the joy of sharing live music together.
6:07 am
the smartest scientists have taken field research to new levels, and become unlikely festival favourites. here you'll see cameras. if you look really hard, looking at the flow of people, are there any unnecessary bottlenecks where we could lay events out differently? we probably don't need to because the event organisers done such a good job here. is science always this fun? this is a great partnership of science and society, and it's incredibly rewarding. rewarding for everyone. the bars were busy, and so were the toilets, and a unique event means extra special merchandise to mark the day music came back to life. the audience think that they're in 2019. they think that the pandemic never happened, and they're having the time of their lives. opening the gates was emotional, i'll be honest with you. it was, um, it was very special. it was really, really special. and the dependency on this gig tonight is... ..is significant. i mean, it's massive, to be honest.
6:08 am
you know, bands, crews, toilet providers, generator providers, you know, audiences, you name it, they're all hoping it all goes well. tonight was like, every band needs to feel that and every artist and all the fans. so, yeah, ijust hope this is the start of getting back to normal. what a weekend for this city and for music, a uniting force and a common language connecting so many people, once again, bringing us all closer to the things we enjoy. danjohnson, bbc news, liverpool. what a weekend there. we will catch up what a weekend there. we will catch up with dan later to find out what the fallout is from that busy weekend in liverpool. in wales, two households will be allowed to meet indoors from today, and some families and friends
6:09 am
will be able to hug for the first time in months. gyms, swimming pools and community centres can also reopen, after major changes to restrictions. 0rganised children's indoor activities can also resume. case rates in wales have fallen to their lowest point in eight months. today marks a significant date in the history of northern ireland. exactly 100 years ago, a law came into force which set up a parliament in belfast and divided the island of ireland. the anniversary is viewed very differently by unionists and nationalists, as our ireland correspondent chris page reports. these are the pictures northern ireland wants to be best known for — a place of friendly cities and stunning seaside scenery. bomb blast. but it has a history which hurts. it's still recovering from a conflict which lasted for 30 years until the late 1990s. there was violence, too, at the time of northern ireland's birth, sectarian murder across the island of ireland.
6:10 am
the southern 26 counties went to war with britain to achieve independence, but a majority in the north—eastern six counties wanted to stay in the uk. and that's what happened. today is one of a series of anniversaries. it's notjust the start of northern ireland as we know it. it's the start of the united kingdom as we know it. and the united kingdom is stronger and better because of all the constituent parts, and northern ireland plays a huge part in that. unionists view this is the centenary of the state they strongly value. but for people who identify as irish, it's the anniversary of the partition of ireland, a source of great injustice. the creation of a brexit trade border with the rest of the uk has again sharpened political divisions. i think it is possible for us to deal with the past. yeah. there would be little, some pain, but generously, ethically, i think it is possible for us to deal with the present, given even our present difficulties. i think they should be ironed out. they can be.
6:11 am
events to mark the centenary have been restricted so far due to the pandemic, but that doesn't make 2021 any less significant here. chris page, bbc news, belfast. the winner of the bbc young musician of the year 2020 has been revealed. percussionist fang zhang wowed the judges with his performance on the marimba. i think we need to show that in slow motion. extraordinary. look at him go! thejudges in the competition — which was delayed as a result of the pandemic — said he had deeply moved them with a "kaleidoscope of colours and expression". fung, who is 17, has been performing around the world since he was 11 years old. the speed is just incredible, isn't it? it the speed is “ust incredible, isn't it? ,

6:13 am
500 metres. you can see the rain piling on across northern ireland preceded by showers. as we move further eastwards, we are looking at a lot of dry conditions. and in the south—east we could hang on to a lot of dry weather for a large chunk of the day. but in addition to all this rain coming in from the west, spreading east, it is going to be windy. the wind continuing to strengthen. the met office is warning about this. we could have gushed in under 40 miles to 50 mph. along the coast of wales and the south of england. temperature wise, the top temperature likely to be 12 degrees. the average temperature is at this time of the year are roughly 14 in the north to about 17 in the south. so we are way below par. if you want to know what the weather is doing in more detailfor the rest of the week, doing in more detailfor the rest of the week, tune doing in more detailfor the rest of the week, tune in doing in more detailfor the rest of the week, tune in again doing in more detailfor the rest of the week, tune in again in doing in more detailfor the rest of the week, tune in again in half doing in more detailfor the rest of the week, tune in again in half an hour. we'll be there. thank you. just over a week ago, two menjumped into the river thames
6:14 am
to save a woman who had fallen in. one of the rescuers, folajimi 0lubunmi—adewole, sadly died. the other man, joaquin garcia, managed to reach the woman and kept her afloat until the police arrived. graham satchell reports. bell tolls. at one end of london bridge, a collection of flowers to remember folajimi 0lubunmi—adewole, known to his friends asjimi. just over a week ago, jimi was on his way home from work, when he tried to rescue a woman who'd fallen into the thames. it was a remarkable act of bravery. also on the bridge that night wasjoaquin garcia. he heardjimi shouting, and ran over to help. he started to point to the river saying, "she's there, she's there." so i saw on the river, the girl. well, i actually saw two hands and one face just splashing,
6:15 am
trying to keep on float. he told me, "are you going tojump? are you jumping?" and i said, "yes". jimi started to count like, "ok, let's do it. three, two..." and i couldn't think on it, so ijustjumped. and that's the last time i sanimi. it was cold, dark, dangerous. joaquin swam out towards the woman and eventually found her. she was not very conscious. i couldn't see her eyes at any moment. she was just blinking and splashing. and i started to swallow water. and i remember turning to the right, like, i'm looking for help. i don't know if i was looking forjimi, i was looking for anyone at that moment that i started to swallow water. isaid, "0k, listen, listen to me, listen to me. keep calm. do the plank, let's do the plank, 0k?"
6:16 am
so i think she heard me, luckily, and she managed to do the plank. the coastguard and the police found the woman, and continued to search forjimi, but couldn't find him. his body was eventually discovered in the early hours of the morning. joaquin was taken to hospital. early the next day, he contacted his parents back home in spain. i think my father was the first time to call me back, and he told me... "i didn't understand really well, but did you save someone's life?" and i said... .."yes". and he started to say... .."thank you, you are... "..you're very good, thank you for being like you are."
6:17 am
and he told me to don't do it again. and when i called my mother, i think she was just reading it, because i called her and i couldn't hear nothing but crying. a park in south london and a vigil to honourjimi's selfless acts of heroism. jimi has been nominated for a bravery award by the city of london police. but there is a campaign now for him to get the highest civilian award for courage, the george cross. i have been lucky, because we are more or less the same age. and i just want to say that i totally... ..support the campaign that there is forjimi to take a medalfor his honour
6:18 am
and his braveness. crowd cheers. as some people already have done on the viewpoint... ..there's a lot of flowers and candles... ..saying �*hero'. so i think he deserves that. i think it would be really, really good for the family as well. joaquin is still coming to terms with what happened at london bridge, but is determined thatjimi should be honoured. graham satchell, bbc news. imean, the i mean, the pair of them were
6:19 am
extraordinary young man. he talks aboutjimmy being a hero, but he jumped in. i mean, so brave. they saved a woman. just an extraordinary thing to have done, isn't it? find thing to have done, isn't it? and the conflict _ thing to have done, isn't it? and the conflict of _ thing to have done, isn't it? fific the conflict of emotions thing to have done, isn't it? film the conflict of emotions he thing to have done, isn't it? fi."ic the conflict of emotions he must thing to have done, isn't it? si'."ic the conflict of emotions he must be feeling about having been through it and having survived, and the other family, yeah, thank you to him for sharing his story. let's take a look at today's front pages. we wa nt we want to show you them all because line of duty is on all of them. we want to show you those ones. —— we won't show you those ones. �*fever pitch' is the headline on the front of today's mirror, as the paper leads on the protesting manchester united fans, who stormed the pitch at old trafford yesterday. the times is also reporting on yesterday's pitch invasion, which caused the game between manchester united and liverpool to be postponed. the paper also reports that social distancing will be scrapped from the 21stjune, under plans to ensure that all restaurants, pubs, theatres and cinemas can reopen fully. it says social distancing might go,
6:20 am
but there might be other alternatives. meanwhile, the telegraph says face coverings may have to be worn beyond the end of lockdown, quoting the foreign secretary dominic raab, who said in an interview yesterday, that "some safeguards" would probably remain. and the reviews are in for the finale of line of duty, which aired on bbc one last night. the daily mail has described the programme as "thrilling", but raises the question, will there be a seventh series? thrilling? i have to say, some are some of the reaction has been less than thrilled. some people feeling a bit disappointed. we are going to talk about this throughout the morning. we will be careful to warn you when we are just in case you haven't watched it. there are five people who haven't watched it! we have got a major character from the series later. that is all we are saying. shall we look at the inside pages? saying. shall we look at the inside maes? ., saying. shall we look at the inside ..aes? ., ., saying. shall we look at the inside maes? ., s, , ~ , pages? you go first. i like this story only _

pages? you go first. i like this story only daily _ pages? you go first. i like this story only daily telegraph - pages? you go first. i like this i story only daily telegraph talking about how you choose a bottle of wine if you are finally going back to an outdoor pub or restaurant. sometimes you don't want to go for the cheapest one, so you go for the second cheapest. there has long been a theory that of the second cheapest is the worst because they know what we are up to when we are making that decision. apparently this survey of wine across the uk has discovered it is actually the third cheapest wine which is normally the worst. they buried their on the wine list. i don't know if you were watching any of the pictures out of nasa yesterday, but these extraordinary pictures of the first display stand since apollo eight moonshot in 1968. the space expedition landed in the atlantic yesterday. i know this is what we do and everything. we don't do! well, no. but people this tiny capsule and land in the middle the

6:24 am
weeks ago. it is pretty precarious in places. do take care. its only two weeks before the vast majority of pubs and restaurants fling open their doors to serve us inside in england. but aside from getting covid—safe, they've got another major worry on their plates ? staffing. after thousands of workers left the sector during lockdown, the industry says it's in crisis. some hospitality businesses are warning they might not be able to open this month, if they can t get the people they need. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith has been finding out why. high pressure, long hours, late into the night. delivering perfection, but no longer on the plate. i'm back on the stoves and i'm cooking. when you become a chef, that's what you want to do. you want to cook food and you want people to enjoy your food. jamie's quit hisjob as head chef at a fancy hotel chain and started his own takeaway business. and he's not going back. a year ago was kind of a bit
6:25 am
of a moment for you to reassess life and work out what you wanted to do. it was, yeah. i think it's been a push for some people who were stuck in the industry, who didn't know what else they could do. i had chefs working for me who had taken driving opportunities and now they're happy, because they can spend a little bit more time with their family. we are a relief chef agency, so we send in temporary chefs when there might be a gap in the kitchen. loads of restaurants have been in touch with katie to get ready for full reopening. but lots of candidates on her book just aren't coming back. over 50% of them have found alternative employment over the past 12 months and actually decided not to come back into hospitality. so they have been working in warehouses or delivery driving or gone to work in supermarkets, and they've actually decided that they are going to continue doing that and not come back to being a chef. do you think this is about pay, or is it more than that? i think it's much more thanjust pay. it's hard to argue with having more time with your family
6:26 am
and children, or whoever you want to spend time with. everyone's had a taste of that over the past few months, the past year, and going back into those anti—social and long hours is going to be really difficult for some people and, actually, a lot of people just aren't prepared to compromise. that's the problem they're facing at the gusto restaurant chain. you are confident you will have the amount of team you need to open the business on may the 17th? matt says he is so short—staffed, some of his premises... we've got quite a few applicants at the moment. ..may not be able to reopen on time. we have 12 restaurants. we are always recruiting somebody. we are never recruiting 100 people at the same time for every single restaurant that all need to be trained in a restaurant business that is effectively closed. that is the issue we are experiencing right now. we will get through it, but it is another issue on top of 100 other issues we have had to wade through over the past 13 months. fries which are vegan, 0k? smells incredible. although it's scary,
6:27 am
jamie's not got any regrets. i've not gone 1 million miles away from what i'm doing. it is because i'm doing it for me, for my family, to gain a better lifestyle eventually. colletta smith, bbc news. i have seen so many signs up outside pubs and restaurants desperate for staff. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. police are continuing to search for a newborn baby girl from southwark who's disappeared with her parents. they're looking for azara and machel graham. their baby needs hospital treatment and hasn't been seen by medical staff since thursday. officers say they are becoming increasingly concerned and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. people with links to the windrush generation are being invited
6:28 am
to contribute to a series of sculptures in east london celebrating the contribution caribbean people have made to the uk. the work by artist thomasj price will stand in hackney�*s town hall square and will be created using digital 3d scans. it will be the uk's first permanent public artwork to honour the windrush generation. a three—year—old girl with cerebral palsy has completed a mission to walk a hundred steps to raise awareness for a charity that helped her. freya, who is from hornchurch, has only had her walking frame for five months. she's now raised thousands of pounds for first step, which supports children with special needs. her efforts are part of the captain sir tom moore 100 — a weekend of challenges marking what would have been his 101st birthday. i want people to see freya as a role model and the fact that it doesn't matter what disability you've got, or anything, that you are still capable of going on and achieving as much as possible and you just have to have faith
6:29 am
and determination. let's take a look at the travel situation now. lots of part—suspensions and part—closures on the tubes, as you can see this bank holiday monday. best to double—check your route before you travel — there are replacement buses. there are no trains in or out of euston — it's closed all weekend for engineering work. 0n the roads — in fulham, tempoary traffic lights on fulham palace road just south of charing cross hospital — that's for water works. in elephant and castle, the a3 is partially blocked for emergency repairs. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. get set for a wet and a very windy bank holiday monday ahead. there is a met office yellow weather warning for the strength of the winds that is valid from this afternoon, right through the overnight period and into tomorrow morning. there could be some gusts of wind of up to 40—50 mph across the london area. it is enough to cause some damage
6:30 am
and potentially some travel disruption, as well. it is a fairly calm start to the morning. it is dry, we have early brightness. it is frost—free, as well. but the cloud will thicken from the west as we head through the morning and eventually we see these outbreaks of rain that sweep away eastwards. some of this rain will turn out to be rather heavy and it will turn increasingly blustery. top temperature more or less where we have been seeing them of late. as we head through this evening and overnight, more heavy rain. it is very windy, as well. those strong winds and heavy rain push their way eastwards on this area of low pressure. it will eventually turn drier, but staying blustery into tuesday morning. tuesday, a brisk north—westerly wind blowing with some sunny spells and possibly a few showers. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to louise and jon. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and louise minchin.
6:31 am
coming up on breakfast this morning. could summer holidays finally be cleared for take—off? we'll hear how likely it is that foreign travel will be given the green light in two weeks time. the green light in two weeks' time. superstar six—year—old tony hudgell wanted to walk 100 steps without his crutches as part of the captain tom 100 challenge this weekend. he'lljoin us with his mum to tell us how he absolutely smashed it. this is the officer's signature on both reports. this is the officer's signature on both reports-— this is the officer's signature on both reorts. ., .p s, ., both reports. come off it, no wave. this can't be _ both reports. come off it, no wave. this can't be right. _ both reports. come off it, no wave. this can't be right. it _ both reports. come off it, no wave. this can't be right. it can. - and we'll speak to one of the stars of last night's line of duty grand finale about being part of the biggest tv phenomenon of the year.
6:32 am
0ur our next guest was watching but that is not why she is here. care home residents in england will be able to leave their home for low—risk trips without having to self—isolate for 14 days afterwards from tomorrow. it means that after months of being confined indoors, residents will be allowed to go for walks or garden visits. let's talk about this with our gp, dr nighat arif. good morning. iwill get good morning. i will get your verdict on line of duty in a moment but first, this is a big change for people living in care homes. aha, people living in care homes. positive change. people have been able to visit relatives since the 10th of march, under restriction, you had to make sure you had ppe and a negative test. this is showing us the landscape has changed. we have up the landscape has changed. we have up to 50 million doses, and we are now going down into the younger groups. the chances of getting the virus are lower and because of
6:33 am
vaccination and the measures, hand washing, masks, physical distance in, we have driven down the virus which means relatives can visit loved ones and go out for a walk in open spaces. a much needed change. a lot of my patients have been distressed that their freedom has been curbed because of this situation. it is because we have had the most amount of deaths in care homes. they were the most affected at the start. because of lots of issues. this is such a welcome change and positive move that we are heading in the right direction. let's hope so. it feels better at the moment. but we have to take this day by day. i am interested by reports about testing, changing the way we test and maybe people will not have to self—isolate if they
6:34 am

rules and knuckling down as a unit and making sure they do not go out. lateral flow tests have issues. there is a high probability they might not always be accurate and you can get false negatives and be reassured you do not have the virus. but what the tests have shown is in people we can pick up cases where they are asymptomatic. this is a trial. if it works, it is a better way of making sure you can manage the situation because we know variants happen and we need to make sure it is about driving down the virus and we do not allow the nhs to be overwhelmed. at the minute, if you are not part of the trial and someone tests positive and you have beenin someone tests positive and you have been in the vicinity of that person, you still have to isolate for ten days. you still have to isolate for ten da 5. . .,,

the hesitancy groups, three times uptake of the vaccination. care home residents and vulnerable groups have been vaccinated and as we go younger, we need to make sure we tackle misinformation so there are programmes like team halo. this is a global pandemic. we need to make sure we tackle information when it comes to the vaccine. if you see something that does not look right, do not amplify it, look into it first. because people against vaccination have tried to hamper the vaccine programme. vaccines work. reduction on transmission. you are notjust protecting yourself but those around you in the reduction to hospitalisation, severe illness. in younger people, if you get covid—19 and you are vaccinated, less chance

6:39 am
were staying in central manchester, to do with this simmering resentment between manchester united fans and the owners which has gone back 16 years since the takeover in 2005. those resentments, bad feelings, the most pressing question for sport, when is this match going to be played because it has a huge bearing on the result of the premier league campaign. manchester united and liverpool and manchester city, champions league spaces, so many ramifications to come out of that. well, as you heard earlier, the protests at manchester united against their owners resulted in their game with liverpool being called off. and that story is dominating the back pages this morning, with the mirror going with the headline �*mutiny — the fight for the heart and soul of football'. the guardian describing the events as a �*united uprising'. while the daily express has gone with �*theatre of screams�*. andy mitten, editor of the fanzine united we stand, spoke on match of the day 2 last night,
6:40 am
about where the fan frustration has come from. manchester united fans, they don�*t want a benefactor, they don�*t want oligarchs. they don�*t need that. but what they continue to object to is the highly leveraged buyout. yes, a lot of money has been spent on players, and not of all of it has been spent well. and the team have improved. i think the manager is doing a good job. i don�*t think any manchester united fans could have seen the team being second at this stage in this season and also about to get into a european final. but the frustrations are there. these people are not making it up in their own minds. they are deeply frustrated. away from all the drama at old trafford, two premier league games did take place yesterday. arsenal beat newcastle 2—nil at stjames�* park. mohammed eleny opened the scoring for arsenal early on before pierre—emerick aubameyang doubled the lead in the second half. the win sets up arsenal nicely for their crucial europa league
6:41 am
semifinal second leg against villarreal on thursday evening. and there was a gareth bale masterclass at the tottenham hotspur stadium where spurs beat sheffield united four—nil. bale scored a hattrick, with son heung—min adding the fourth late on. the result puts spurs up to fifth and still in contention for a top—fourfinish. what a season it has been for chelsea. the women have already won the league cup, are two wins from sealing the wsl, and have now made history by reaching theirfirst champions league final. they were trailing 2—1 from the first leg, but they won a frantic game in london 4—1 to progress. fran kirby with the final goal on breakaway when bayern had their keeper upfield. emma hayes�* side could be on for a remarkable quadruple. ijust hope there were lots of little girls sat at home, i really do, that were thinking, "we�*re going to the

champions league final." like, i�*m a mum. i want that. i hope they were sat at home and they built their own stories, their own moments, like i did as a ten—year—old, albeit it was the men�*s game. because i never had female role models. i�*ve always wanted, more than anything else, that little girls have the role model. mark selby has an important lead at the halfway point of the world snooker championship final. he finished last night�*s evening session leading shaun murphy by ten frames to seven. the final resumes later on from 1 o�*clock and you can follow all the action on bbc two. selby is seeking his fourth world title — murphy, his first for 16 years. lewis hamilton showed why he�*s a seven—time formula 1 world champion with a remarkable drive in the algarve to win the portuguese grand prix. he had to to use all his experience to overtake rival max verstappen and then hunted down team—mate valterri bottas. the victory extends hamilton�*s lead in the drivers�* championship to eight points after three races.

it could be early to say but i think he is going to do it again. restrictions on the number of people allowed at funerals during the pandemic has added to the heartbreak for many bereaved families. as we�*ve been reporting this morning, the government has now said that, in england, unlimited numbers will be allowed from the 17th of may, as long as mourners can socially distance. let�*s discuss this more now with deborah smith from the national association of funeral directors. good morning. are you pleased with this announcement? yes. good morning. are you pleased with this announcement?— this announcement? yes, very pleased- _ this announcement? yes, very pleased- it _ this announcement? yes, very pleased. it gives _ this announcement? yes, very pleased. it gives families - this announcement? yes, very| pleased. it gives families more choice at a very difficult time. give us an idea. we have seen so many people going through all of this and it has had a huge impact. it has, and 700,000 people died in

the uk last year. 700,000 families and countless more friends that have not been able to grieve in the way they would normally. lots of families who had to turn round to people close to the person who had died and say you cannot be there to say goodbye. the funeral is part of the grieving process and it is getting used to saying goodbye to someone and them not being in your life any more. the restrictions are incredibly important and we have been grateful to the government for always allowing immediate families to be there to say goodbye but nevertheless this is interrupted grieve for hundreds of thousands of people. we grieve for hundreds of thousands of --eole. ~ ~' ., grieve for hundreds of thousands of --eole.~ ~ ., ., grieve for hundreds of thousands of --eole. ~ ., ., . people. we know social distancing will have to _ people. we know social distancing will have to take _ people. we know social distancing will have to take place _ people. we know social distancing will have to take place which - people. we know social distancing i will have to take place which means no hugging and holding hands and means people sitting far away from each other. how will you manage that? ., ., , , ., each other. how will you manage that? ., , ., s, that? that has been one of the hardest aspects _ that? that has been one of the hardest aspects of _

series. i like the fact he was talking about institutional corruption and sometimes that can be a cover—up for corruption. it is not this big super villain, it could be more straightforward. what i did not necessarily like was the fact that we did not understand the motivation of ian buckells. it felt like it was leading to a cliffhanger. he was revealed as a super villain and it was like see you later, goodbye. people will feel confused about that. ., , ., people will feel confused about that. . , , people will feel confused about that. , ., that. there was a sense of disappointment _ that. there was a sense of disappointment on - that. there was a sense of disappointment on social. that. there was a sense of - disappointment on social media with people saying is that it? they were expecting more. it had so much hype and build—up, iwonderwhat expecting more. it had so much hype and build—up, i wonder what ever they came up with, it might have been flat at the end. could it have lived up to the expectation? what been flat at the end. could it have lived up to the expectation? what i find interesting, _ lived up to the expectation? what i find interesting, if _ lived up to the expectation? what i find interesting, if you _ lived up to the expectation? what i find interesting, if you look - lived up to the expectation? what i find interesting, if you look at -

london, i�*m tolu adeoye. police are continuing to search for a newborn baby girl from southwark, who�*s disappeared with her parents. they�*re looking for azara and machel graham, whose baby needs hospital treatment, but hasn�*t been seen by medical staff since thursday. officers say they are becoming increasingly concerned and want anyone with information to come forward. dogs will be required to be on leads in richmond and bushy parks in all areas from tomorrow until the start of august. around 300 deer will be born in these parks over the next few months. people are being asked to avoid deer nursery areas and are being reminded never to touch a newborn. a three—year—old girl with cerebral palsy has completed a mission to walk a hundred steps to raise awareness for a charity that�*s helped her. freya, who�*s from hornchurch, has only had her walking frame for 5 months. she�*s now raised thousands of pounds for first step, which supports children with special needs. her efforts are part of the captain sir tom moore 100, a weekend of challenges marking what would have been his 101st birthday.
6:58 am
i want people to see freya as a role model and the fact that it doesn�*t matter what disability you�*ve got, or anything, that you are still capable of going on and achieving as much as possible and you just have to have faith and determination. let�*s take a look at the travel situation now. lots of part suspensions on the tubes, as you can see, this bank holiday monday. best to double check your route before you travel. there are replacement buses. there are no trains in or out of euston. it�*s closed all weekend for engineering work. 0n the roads in fulham, temporary traffic lights on fulham palace road just south of charing cross hospital — that�*s for water works. in elephant and castle, the a3 is partially blocked for emergency repairs.
6:59 am
now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. get set for a wet and a very windy bank holiday monday ahead. there is a met office yellow weather warning for the strength of the winds that is valid from this afternoon, right through the overnight period and into tomorrow morning. there could be some gusts of wind of up to 40—50 mph across the london area. it is enough to cause some damage and potentially some travel disruption, as well. it is a fairly calm start to the morning. it is dry, we have early brightness. it is frost free, as well. but the cloud will thicken from the west as we head through the morning and eventually we see these outbreaks of rain that sweeps away eastwards. some of this rain will turn out to be rather heavy and it will turn increasingly blustery. top temperature more or less where we have been seeing them of late. as we head through this evening and overnight, more heavy rain. it is very windy, as well. those strong winds and heavy rain push their way eastwards on this area of low pressure. it will eventually turn drier, but staying blustery into tuesday morning. tuesday, a brisk north—westerly wind blowing with some sunny spells
7:00 am
and possibly a few showers. i�*m back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it�*s back to louise and jon. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: two police officers are injured during a protest by hundreds of manchester united fans at old trafford. the scenes have been described as "completely unacceptable" good morning. and with the players eventually able to leave their hotel, we�*re waiting to hear when the match against liverpool will be played. restrictions on the number of mourners allowed at funerals are set to be relaxed. you�*re going to have the best night you�*ve had for a very, very long time. a weekend of experimental non—socially distanced events ends with a concert in liverpool,
7:01 am
in front of 5,000 fans. good morning. for many of us, especially in the east, we are starting off on a dry and bright note. where there is rain in the west, that will spread eastwards through the day accompanied by gusty winds. temperatures still below average. details coming up. good morning. it�*s monday, the 3rd of may. our top story. police in manchester have called the protests that led to the postponement of manchester united�*s premier league match against liverpool, "completely unacceptable". two officers were injured after fans stormed the pitch. the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has condemned the violence. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilson reports. the concourse outside old trafford where protesters were expected to congregate... ..to voice their continued opposition to the ownership of manchester united by the glazer family. some protesters soon decided to go
7:02 am
further, and ultimately, onto the pitch itself. this was the scene at one of the most famous football grounds in the world, that revered manchester united pitch, the place of stirring feats of football, occupied. as clashes continued, police reported two injuries to officers, one slashed in the face by a broken bottle. meanwhile, some of those who stayed peacefully outside, were leaving. as we�*re speaking outside the ground, there are lots of fans actually on the pitch. imean, what... was there? yeah, yeah. what do you think about that? it�*s, it�*s... ..it�*s a frustrating thing because obviously, as fans, we want the best for our club. it�*s been, from when we were young, watched it, it�*s been magical, you know, history that we�*ve had. and people like, get so annoyed with it. well, they stayed. there was a match due to be played here, a match with direct implications for the outcome of the premier league,
7:03 am
supposed to happen here. the direct response from the premier league was a statement. i�*m all for protesting, but not like that. you can�*t protest like that. we�*ve seen events at other football clubs, because they�*re not happy. but when you get fans breaking into stadiums, when you get fans, eh, hurting police officers, when you get fans smashing glass to get into the hospitality, then that�*s not the way to do it. that�*s not acceptable. well, for 16 years, supporters have opposed the glazers. for 16 years, they�*ve believed the family is taking money out of their club. fan power has been reignited by recent opposition to the european super league. this anger runs deeper. does it take something extreme for the glazers just to notice? united! the pitch invaders widely condemned, don�*t represent

finally in greenford one lane is closed on the aao in to town for emergency repairs at the greenford roundabout now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. get set for a wet and a very windy bank holiday monday ahead. there is a met office yellow weather warning for the strength of the winds that is valid from this afternoon, right through the overnight period and into tomorrow morning. there could be some gusts of wind of up to 40—50 mph across the london area. it is enough to cause some damage and potentially some travel disruption, as well. it is a fairly calm start to the morning. it is dry, we have early brightness. it is frost—free, as well. but the cloud will thicken from the west as we head through the morning and eventually we see these outbreaks of rain that sweeps away eastwards. some of this rain will turn out to be rather heavy and it will turn increasingly blustery. top temperatures more or less where we have been seeing them of late. as we head through this evening and overnight, more heavy rain. it is very windy, as well.
7:33 am
those strong winds and heavy rain push their way eastwards on this area of low pressure. it will eventually turn drier, but staying blustery into tuesday morning. tuesday, a brisk north—westerly wind blowing with some sunny spells and possibly a few showers. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and louise minchin. good morning. we are dealing with the fallout from those extraordinary scenes at manchester united. from what i have read on social media and in the papers this morning, it does not feel like this is the end of it. i think it will be an interesting situation to monitor. did the fans get their message across? are they happy with what they achieved yesterday and that is the end of it? it does not feel that is the case.
7:34 am
as you heard, the protests at manchester united against their owners resulted in their game with liverpool being called off. and that story is dominating the back pages this morning, with the mirror going with the headline "mutiny — the fight for the heart and soul of football". the guardian describing the events as a "united uprising". the daily express has gone with theatre of screams. bbc football commentatorjohn murray was at old trafford yesterday. hejoins me now. good to speak to you. i listen to you on the radio this morning as driving home yesterday. as the scenes were unfolding. describe what you saw and at what point did you feel something was amiss?- you saw and at what point did you feel something was amiss? there have been extraordinary _ feel something was amiss? there have been extraordinary happenings - feel something was amiss? there have been extraordinary happenings at i feel something was amiss? there have been extraordinary happenings at old i been extraordinary happenings at old trafford over the years but never anything like this and as soon as i began to get close to the ground
7:35 am
yesterday, you could see the supporters were massing, there were protesters outside the gates. there was initially a lockdown. once we got in the ground, the majority of the media were held in an area behind the stretford end. inside the ground, to see these pictures, shown all around the world, of scores of supporters pouring into the stadium, the trouble involving some of them outside the ground, which has been widely condemned. greater manchester police described it as reckless and dangerous, what happened to there. but to see these scenes and for match involving the country's two most successful football clubs having to be called off because of it, remarkable. you having to be called off because of it, remarkable.— it, remarkable. you said these ictures it, remarkable. you said these pictures were _ it, remarkable. you said these pictures were beamed - it, remarkable. you said these pictures were beamed around | it, remarkable. you said these i pictures were beamed around the world and word will have got back to the glazer family who own manchester united. is it enough, this kind of

7:42 am
european super league plans laid everything out. the dangers were there for everyone to see. it is not there for everyone to see. it is not the direction of travel united fans want and we see a better way for fans and this is why we press government to put those reforms in place. government to put those reforms in lace. ,, ., , government to put those reforms in lace. ,, .,, , . , government to put those reforms in lace. ,, , . , ., place. seeing those pictures and that trouble. _ place. seeing those pictures and that trouble. you _ place. seeing those pictures and that trouble. you talk _ place. seeing those pictures and that trouble. you talk about i place. seeing those pictures and that trouble. you talk about the | that trouble. you talk about the difficult relationship already between fans and owners. it will be more difficult now. this between fans and owners. it will be more difficult now.— more difficult now. this will not solve anything. _ more difficult now. this will not solve anything. this _ more difficult now. this will not solve anything. this is - more difficult now. this will not solve anything. this is why i more difficult now. this will not solve anything. this is why the | more difficult now. this will not i solve anything. this is why the push for legislative change needs to happen. we have had government support and opposition support. there have been reviews before and dcms enquiries. nothing has happened. supporters do not feel like they have had a voice. it is clearer to supporters now and i think this is why you saw massive support for the protest.— think this is why you saw massive support for the protest. there was criticism with _

and bright start in eastern areas. low pressure bringing rain, already heavy rain in northern ireland. it will move eastwards, eradicating the bright start. hanging on to the bright start. hanging on to the bright skies in the north—east of scotland with showers. the rain not getting to the far south—east of england until later. as it moves away from northern ireland, left with showers. a gusty day, particularly in southern areas and especially around the coasts of wales and southern england. temperatures below par. 6—12. should be 14-17 temperatures below par. 6—12. should be 14—17 north to south. pollen levels low to moderate and we are talking tree pollen. overnight, the rain moves and behind it showers. wintry in the hills in the north. and these are the temperatures.

7:51 am
southern counties will see rain. north of that, drier and brighter with sunshine. temperatures, look at them. towards the weekend, low pressure moves away. but waiting in the wings, it looks like another area of low pressure which could once again introduced cloud, heavy rain and strong the winds. friday, with this ridge of high pressure is not looking too bad at this stage. at this stage. dame mary berry and david beckham are just some of the thousands of people who have been raising money for good causes by getting involved in the captain sir tom moore 100 challenge this weekend. the organisers wanted people to get creative by pledging to do any activity of their choice one hundred times. let's take a look.

good morning. and with the players eventually able to leave their hotel, we're waiting to hear when the match against liverpool will be played. you're going to have the best night you've had for a very, very long time. a weekend of experimental non—socially distanced events ends with a concert in liverpool in front of 5,000 fans. after hero folajimi 0lubunmi—adewole died trying to save a woman from the river thames, we'll speak to the man who jumped in with him and thankfully survived. jimi started to count like, "ok, let's do it — three, two..." and i couldn't think on it, so ijustjumped. and that's the last time i sawjimi. good morning. today we are starting off dry in central and eastern areas, but rain will spread east through the day
8:02 am
accompanied by gusty winds. details coming up. the hunt for h is over — or is it? we'll look back at the tv phenomenon that was line of duty. good morning. it's monday, the 3rd of may. our top story. police in manchester have called the protests that led to the postponement of manchester united's premier league match against liverpool, "completely unacceptable". two officers were injured after fans stormed the pitch. the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has condemned the violence. 0ur sports correspondent joe wilson reports. the concourse outside old trafford where protesters were expected to congregate... ..to voice their continued opposition to the ownership of manchester united by the glazer family. some protesters soon decided to go further, and ultimately, onto the pitch itself. this was the scene at one of the most famous football grounds in the world, that revered manchester united pitch, the place of stirring feats of football, occupied.
8:03 am
as clashes continued, police reported two injuries to officers, one slashed in the face by a broken bottle. meanwhile, some of those who stayed peacefully outside, were leaving. as we're speaking outside the ground, there are lots of fans actually on the pitch. imean, what... was there? what do you think about that? it's, it's. .. ..it�*s a frustrating thing because obviously, as fans, we want the best for our club. it's been, from when we were young, watched it, it's been magical, you know, history that we've had. and people like, get so annoyed with it. well, they stayed. there was a match due to be played here, a match with direct implications for the outcome of the premier league, supposed to happen here. the direct response from the premier league was a statement. i'm all for protesting, but not like that.
8:04 am
you can't protest like that. we've seen events at other football clubs, because they're not happy. but when you get fans breaking into stadiums, when you get fans, eh, hurting police officers, when you get fans smashing glass to get into the hospitality, then that's not the way to do it. that's not acceptable. well, for 16 years, supporters have opposed the glazers. for 16 years, they've believed the family is taking money out of their club. fan power has been reignited by recent opposition to the european super league. this anger runs deeper. does it take something extreme for the glazers just to notice? united! the pitch invaders widely condemned, don't represent all manchester united supporters. far from it. but the landscape of english football has changed. and these are the images viewed across the premier league's global marketplace. joe wilson, bbc news in manchester. we're joined now by bbc radio manchester's man united

13 in london. the average of of the year is iii 13 in london. the average of of the year is 1a in edinburgh, 17 in london. so we are well below. through this evening and overnight, the bulk of the rain clears into the north sea. a plethora of showers following behind. it will still be windy, especially through the english channel. stay wintry showers. the snow level coming down to about 300 metres overnight. we have been so used to overnight frost, we may well see a touch of frost, we may well see a touch of frost in the far north, but the rest of us should be frost free. more frost on the cards this week. thank you, carol. i think we need to give weather warnings this morning, never mind warnings about line of duty. thank you. just over a week ago, two menjumped into the river thames to save a woman who had fallen in. one of the rescuers, folajimi olubunmi—adewole, sadly died. the other man, joaquin garcia, managed to reach the woman and kept her afloat until the police arrived. graham satchell reports.
8:15 am
bell tolls. at one end of london bridge, a collection of flowers to remember folajimi olubunmi—adewole, known to his friends asjimi. just over a week ago, jimi was on his way home from work, when he tried to rescue a woman who'd fallen into the thames. it was a remarkable act of bravery. also on the bridge that night wasjoaquin garcia. he heardjimi shouting, and ran over to help. he started to point to the river saying, "she's there, she's there." so i saw on the river, the girl. well, i actually saw two hands and one face just splashing, trying to keep on float. he told me, "are you going tojump? are you jumping?" and i said, "yes". jimi started to count like, "ok, let's do it. three, two..." and i couldn't think
8:16 am
on it, so ijustjumped. and that's the last time i sanimi. it was cold, dark, dangerous. joaquin swam out towards the woman and eventually found her. she was not very conscious. i couldn't see her eyes at any moment. she was just blinking and splashing. and i started to swallow water. and i remember turning to the right, like, i'm looking for help. i don't know if i was looking forjimi, i was looking for anyone at that moment that i started to swallow water. isaid, "ok, listen, listen to me, listen to me. keep calm. do the plank, let's do the plank, ok?" so i think she heard me, luckily, and she managed to do the plank. the coastguard and the police found the woman, and continued to search forjimi, but couldn't find him.
8:17 am
his body was eventually discovered in the early hours of the morning. joaquin was taken to hospital. early the next day, he contacted his parents back home in spain. i think my father was the first time to call me back, and he told me... .."i didn't understand really well, but did you save someone's life?" and i said... .."yes". and he started to say... .."thank you, you are... "..you're very good, thank you for being like you are." and he told me to don't do it again! and when i called my mother, i think she was just reading it, because i called her and i couldn't
8:18 am
hear nothing but crying. a park in south london and a vigil to honourjimi's selfless acts of heroism. jimi has been nominated for a bravery award by the city of london police. but there is a campaign now for him to get the highest civilian award for courage, the george cross. i have been lucky, because we are more or less the same age. and i just want to say that i totally... ..support the campaign that there is forjimi to take a medalfor his honour and his braveness. crowd cheers.
8:19 am
as some people already have done on the viewpoint. there's a lot of flowers and candles... ..saying 'hero'. so i think he deserves that. i think it would be really, really good for the family as well. joaquin is still coming to terms with what happened at london bridge, but is determined thatjimi should be honoured. graham satchell, bbc news. and many thanks tojoaquin for talking to us. it is so striking how incredibly selfless and brave young men as well. after nine o'clock we are talking to the fire service, who will be giving us a very clear idea of what to do if, for example,

8:22 am
i thought it was done well, to be honest. i thought the test before, then showing proof at the door, coming in, ithought it was all safe. but at the end of the day, it was all a good laugh as well. i thought it was brilliant. crowd cheers. this was the first gig in front of a live audience for more than a year. you know, the atmosphere was electric. it was like, i don't know. you know, we thought we kind of thought they'd be like that because, you know, they've not had a gig for so long. but then seeing it and experiencing it... it still was better than i thought. yeah, it was humbling. it was humbling. you're going to have the best night you've had for a very, very long time. headlined by stockport band blossoms. it was how gigs are meant to be, weren't it? yeah. but like, times ten. yeah. gigs are meant to be enjoyed. and because it's been like, a year of none of them, it was like, that pent—up... i didn't see one person who looked bored, and i would notice that! that's the sort of stuff i realised after the gig, but no—one was on their phone.
8:23 am
you know, everyone wasjust in the moment, just soaking it up, and it wasjust, yeah, unreal. everyone was tested before, and will be checked again later this week. the question was, could they gather like this and enjoy themselves without the need for masks or social distancing, but without the virus spreading? i'm very moved by this. you see people reconnecting re—learning joy, the joy of sharing live music together. the smartest scientists have taken field research to new levels, and become unlikely festival favourites. here you'll see cameras. if you look really hard, looking at the flow of people, are there any unnecessary bottlenecks where we could lay events out differently? we probably don't need to because the event organisers done such a good job here. is science always this fun? this is a great partnership of science and society, and it's incredibly rewarding. rewarding for everyone.
8:24 am
the bars were busy, and so were the toilets, and a unique event means extra special merchandise to mark the day music came back to life. the audience think that they're in 2019. they think that the pandemic never happened, and they're having the time of their lives. opening the gates was emotional, i'll be honest with you. it was, um, it was very special. it was really, really special. and the dependency on this gig tonight is... ..is significant. i mean, it's massive, to be honest. you know, bands, crews, toilet providers, generator providers, you know, audiences, you name it, they're all hoping it all goes well. tonight was like, every band needs to feel that and every artist and all the fans. so, yeah, ijust hope this is the start of getting back to normal. what a weekend for this city

being cold off. that story is dominating the back pages this morning, with the mirror going with the headline "mutiny — the fight for the heart and soul of football". the guardian describing the events as a "united uprising". the daily express has gone with theatre of screams. andy mitten, editor of the fanzine united we stand, spoke on match of the day two last night about where the fan frustration has come from. manchester united fans, they don't want a benefactor, they don't want oligarchs. they don't need that. but what they continue to object to is the highly leveraged buyout. yes, a lot of money has been spent on players, and not of all of it has been spent well. and the team have improved. i think the manager is doing a good job. i don't think any manchester united fans could have seen the team being second at this stage in this season and also about to get into a european final. but the frustrations are there. these people are not making it up in their own minds. they are deeply frustrated. what a season it has

why he's a seven—time formula one world champion. with a remarkable drive in the algarve to win the portuguese grand prix. he had to to use all his experience to overtake rival max verstappen and then hunted down team mate valtteri bottas. the victory extends hamilton's lead in the drivers championship to eight points after three races. i lost out to max at the restart. but overcoming obstacles in overtaking these guys is a good feeling. mark selby has an important lead at the halfway point of the world snooker championship final. he finished last night's evening session leading shaun murphy by 10 frames to 7. the final resumes later on from 1 o'clock and you can follow all the action on bbc two. selby is seeking his fourth world title — murphy, his first for 16 years. two pretty good stories there.

thanks. we told carol to hide while we talked about line of duty. she has emerged. and blue skies. some of us are starting off like this. but i want to show you last year. just to depress you. 24.5 was the temperature in the early may bank holiday last year in kew gardens. this year, more likely to be 13 degrees. what a drop. and a lot more cloud. the forecast is wet and windy courtesy of low pressure moving in from the west and drifting eastwards as we go through the day. in the far north of scotland he will hang on to sunshine and showers. some wintry on the tops of the mountains. and it will not get to the south—east of england until later. in northern ireland he will be left with sunshine and blustery showers. some of this rain heavy and

also prolonged spells of rain. black circles are the wind gusts. windy wherever you are but particularly in wales along the coast and southern england. temperatures, nothing to write home about. in edinburgh it should be 1a at this time of year and about 17 in london. 50 quite a difference. pollen levels might be a consolation. tree pollen is prevalent. levels are low to moderate. overnight, the rain moves into the north sea with showers following. the snow level drops to 300 metres. windy, strongest through the english channel. but hardly surprising, temperatures will not fall away too far. most will not see a frost. you might in sheltered glens in scotland but that will be about it. tomorrow, windy. showers still moving around the low

pressure. through the day, the wind will moderate. they will be a lot of showers left. tomorrow fairly cloudy and some of the showers wintry on the tops of the hills. during the course of tuesday evening and into wednesday morning, low pressure drifts off and a northerly coming our way. on wednesday, drifts off and a northerly coming ourway. on wednesday, more sunshine. there will still be showers and some of them will be wintry on the tops of the mountains and temperatures will still be below average for early may. as we move into thursday, it looks like we have a system flirting with the south of england. we could see rain for a time. the position of this could change. the rest of the uk, a mixture of sunshine and bright spells and still some showers.
8:54 am
temperatures are really low for the time of year. 8—12. heading through friday and into the weekend, a temporary ridge of high pressure on friday. just in time for the weekend, it looks like the next area of low pressure will bring more wet and windy weather. again, that is a long way off and could still change. we need a tight machine to go back 12 months. wouldn't that be nice? in some ways! as twins, they've played football together their whole lives. this afternoon, they'll make history when they play as rivals in the fa vase final. amar and arjun purewal will be the first british south asians to line up against each other at wembley stadium. here's what they had to say ahead of the big event. it's not nice being against your brother
