it's really giving folks a new perspective, and this perspective is something that many have never thought of. when they see deaf people they think, "oh, you can't." but actually, they're dead wrong. we can. we still work hard. we fight. we support ourfamily. we can converse. and the only difference is our language, so that's what's so beautiful about coda. the deaf west theatre company is where he started out, and his success is already inspiring young actors following in his footsteps. hello, everyone. to see a deaf actor nominated for an oscar, that makes - me feel like i can do this too, you know? | there are so many people like me that should be included in the - industry, and it motivates me. it makes me feel like, | wow, i can do this too. so, can coda cause of this year's oscars upset and win best picture?

oscars upset and win best picture? all will be revealed at the 94th academy awards on sunday. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. time for a look at the weather. louise lear has joined louise lear hasjoined me. it has been lovely for a lot of people. glorious, an oscar—winning performance you could say for the weather at the moment. is going to last? no, unfortunately, getting noticeably colder so enjoy the sunshine if you are lucky enough to have it, a bit of clout today the northern isles producing a few showers and is in fair weather cloud to the north—west on the great glen but elsewhere more sunshine, more in comparison to yesterday across scotland and northern ireland, but i might have to say these little tufts of cloud may develop into shower cloud in one or two areas, just a small chance in northern ireland, scottish borders of a rogue isolated showers but elsewhere light winds, sunshine, sticking with the positive, glorious afternoon out there. once again the temperatures responding, way above where they should be at this time of year, a
1:32 pm
good eight or 9 degrees in some spots, could see highs once again of 20 celsius, 68 fahrenheit. through the night tonight we still keep the high pressure so clear skies through the night allowing temperatures to fall away. we keep the cloud into the far north, so a few showers into the far north, so a few showers into the northern isles. temperatures holding up here, but where we have clear skies, a touch of light frost, may be a bit of mist, just like the last couple of mornings but once again another glorious start. so it is the weekend and we will continue to see low cloud across western scotland and northern ireland. elsewhere, dry and sunny, a bit more of a brisk breeze particularly down across the suffolk, south—east and channel coasts here. that will take the edge of the temperature a bit and with the breeze coming around from a north—easterly, coming in off the east coast of the north sea as well, here temperatures around 15 or 16 degrees, so sheltered western areas the best of the warmth potentially on saturday. don't forget british summer starts sunday
1:33 pm
morning as we put the clocks back, so we lose an hour but we gain more in the way of daylight. however, unfortunately, it is the sign of the change to come just in time for british summertime, how ironic. more cloud coming off the north sea, so for england and wales it could be a bit more grey and gloomy from time to time, so the best of the sunshine potentially on sunday is going to be the further north and west you are. underneath the cloud the temperatures might be more subdued, around 14 or 15 but temperatures should potentially peak at 17 celsius. it will get colder still as we head towards the beginning of april with a northerly wind driving down those blue colours all the way south. that basically means with each day as we go into next week just that little bit colder. and the potential for a little bit of showery rain from time to time. louise, thank you very much. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s

news teams where you are. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm, and here's your latest sports news. wales captain gareth bale said his critics in spain were "disgusting" for suggesting that he had overplayed the injuries that have kept him out of action for much of his time with real madrid this season. bale led his side to a world cup play—off final last night, scoring both goals in their 2—1 win over austria in cardiff. and at the age of 32, he knows this could be his last chance to reach a world cup. if they make qatar, it would be their first appearance in the finals since 1958. they have one more hurdle to overcome — an eliminator against scotland or ukraine — but the man in charge feels anything is possible with bale as their captain. when you've got somebody like gareth, there were questions about whether he would be fit or not, even if he is 60 or 70%, he is going to
1:35 pm
play, because you know he can win games for you and he steps up to the plate. and aaron ramsey is the same, he has won games for us before, and when you have big players like that, if you have a chance of them being fit, you play them, because you know at any given time they have a chance of giving a performance like that. the football association will be laying on 100 free buses for liverpool and manchester city fans going to the fa cup semifinal at wembley on the 16th of april. they will carry up to 5,000 supporters, who are struggling to make the trip to london, with no trains running from the north—west. highways england have also agreed to put roadworks on hold. there had been pleas for the match to be moved to a more accessible ground, but the fa confirmed today that the game would kick off as planned at wembley stadium at 3.30. england's bowlers will take to a lively pitch this afternoon, for day two of the third and deciding test against west indies in grenada. after another batting collapse, england were floundering on "4—9,

before the tail enders came to the rescue with a last—wicket stand of 90 betweenjack leach and saqib mahmood. they made 204 all out, just before the close. play starts at 2.00. australia's dominance at the women's cricket world cup continued, with victory over bangladesh. they kept their 100% record in the group stage in tact. they were given a scare, though. chasing 136 to win, australia lost three wickets for four runs at one stage, but beth mooney and annabel sutherland combined well for 66 to lead their team to a five—wicket victory. as group winners, they'll meet the fourth—placed team in the quarterfinals. andy murray said playing world number two daniil medvedev would be a "really good test" of where his game is at, after he reached the second round of the miami 0pen. he needed a tie—break to take the first set against federico delbonis,
1:37 pm
but he sailed through the second 6—i. murray has a heavy block of training booked in after this tournament, and he said the match against medvedev would show him what he needs to work on. it's been confirmed that sebastian vettel will miss sunday's saudi arabian grand prix. he's failed to recover from covid—i9 in time. he missed the season—opener in bahrain last weekend, but his aston martin team expect him to be fit, for round three in australia, on april the 10th. he'll again be replaced by reserve driver nico hulkenberg injeddah. first practice starts at 2.00. as always, there's more on the bbc sport website, including news on england rugby union captain 0wen farrell, who will play for the first time since november for saracens agianst bristol as he comes back from injury. let's get more on the calls
1:38 pm
by the transport secretary, grant shapps, who's demanded the the immediate resignation of the chief executive of p80 ferries, following his admission that the company broke the law by not consulting unions, before it sacked 800 staff. peter hebblethwaite told a committee of mps yesterday that he'd acted to save the business and that he'd do the same again. let's speak to the shadow transport secretary louise haigh.
1:39 pm
do you agree with grant shapps that the chief executive should go? {iii the chief executive should go? of course, it was utterly brazen to sit in front of two select committees yesterday and so he made the calculated decision well ahead of time that they would break the law, refused to consult with the workforce, and summarily 800 loyal british workers. but the government can do more than just: british workers. but the government can do more thanjust: the chief executive to go, and they should not sit around and wait for him to do the right thing, because i think his actions have demonstrated he is frankly incapable of doing the right thing. the government should immediately be investigating if you can be disqualified as a company director now and in the future as well. ., , ,., director now and in the future as well. ., , ,, . ., , director now and in the future as well. ., ,_ well. the transport secretary says he will bring _ well. the transport secretary says he will bring moves _ well. the transport secretary says he will bring moves to _ well. the transport secretary says he will bring moves to parliament| well. the transport secretary says l
1:40 pm
he will bring moves to parliament to tackle this, he made the point several time, tackle this, he made the point severaltime, grant tackle this, he made the point several time, grant shapps, that maritime law is very complicated, and we get into all sorts of roots about overseas and domestic routes, but he said he will be bringing legislation to parliament to tackle this in the future.— this in the future. yes, and there are really — this in the future. yes, and there are really complex _ this in the future. yes, and there are really complex laws - this in the future. yes, and there | are really complex laws governing the seas, domestic law, european law, and un law, and that is why it is difficult to apply the national minimum wage from a domestic perspective. but i am pleased that grant shapps is now saying he will bring forward measures next week to do that. but the point is that p&0 ferries did not break the lawjust on the national minimum wage, they broke the law on the failure to consult, and that is what we really need to see now. this cannot be a reprint for other bosses around the world to look at our weak employment laws in this country and make that calculation that it is just as easy or cheap to break the law as it is to follow it. i mean, peter
1:41 pm
hebblethwaite yesterday just related parliament and this government for a ride, the government needs to step in and urgently ensure that those workers are reinstated to really took parliament for a ride. and then make sure that the law is toughened up make sure that the law is toughened up so no company can continue to take advantage of this. so up so no company can continue to take advantage of this.— up so no company can continue to take advantage of this. so they have to take back — take advantage of this. so they have to take back the _ take advantage of this. so they have to take back the 800 _ take advantage of this. so they have to take back the 800 workers - take advantage of this. so they have to take back the 800 workers on - take advantage of this. so they have to take back the 800 workers on the salary they were on, seemingly wants to go back to the company? yes. salary they were on, seemingly wants to go back to the company?— to go back to the company? yes, we called on p&0 _ to go back to the company? yes, we called on p&0 to _ to go back to the company? yes, we called on p&0 to reinstate _ called on p&0 to reinstate the workforce on monday. p&0 are clearly in a difficult financial situation, but no financial situation medicine to their behaviour last week. urgently they need to look at reinstating those workers and get back to the negotiating table with the workforce and with their trade union representatives, because they could be a way forward. i struggle to believe that all 800 of those workers needed to go, not least because they are now looking at the employing some of them. so there
1:42 pm
could be a way forward they have not considered yet, which is the whole reason we have this consultation was in force in this country, we cannot sit back and allow ceos like peter hebblethwaite to think they can wilfully break them. x�*t�*et hebblethwaite to think they can wilfully break them.— hebblethwaite to think they can wilfully break them. yet he said he would make _ wilfully break them. yet he said he would make the _ wilfully break them. yet he said he would make the same _ wilfully break them. yet he said he would make the same decision - wilfully break them. yet he said he i would make the same decision again if he had to, because the company's finances were so powerless that, he would argue, he had no choice. i know there are other issues around employment law, but he said in terms of the mass of the company, he had no choice. i of the mass of the company, he had no choice. ~ . , , no choice. i think that begs the auestion no choice. i think that begs the question how _ no choice. i think that begs the question how he _ no choice. i think that begs the question how he allowed - no choice. i think that begs the i question how he allowed himself no choice. i think that begs the - question how he allowed himself to get into that position that it was in that moment sack 800 workers or go bankrupt. and i think my colleague, the chair of the business select committee, was absolutely right to ask him how he was not up to thejob or was in right to ask him how he was not up to the job or was in fact a brazen criminal. ~ , criminal. well, we will be talking about this whole _ criminal. well, we will be talking about this whole issue _ criminal. well, we will be talking about this whole issue again - criminal. well, we will be talking about this whole issue again i . criminal. well, we will be talking| about this whole issue again i am sure. just before i let you go, can ijust ask you, sure. just before i let you go, can i just ask you, information that has come through regarding the chancellor and the last little while, the chancellor's wife owns
1:43 pm
shares in a software company which still has its office in moscow open. and i would like to know whether you feel that contradicts the chance because my own advice about people who have business dealings inside russia at the moment. —— contradict him to three chancellor's own advice. ., ,, . , him to three chancellor's own advice. ,, . , advice. he has specifically called on businesses _ advice. he has specifically called on businesses to _ advice. he has specifically called on businesses to divert - advice. he has specifically called on businesses to divert from - advice. he has specifically called i on businesses to divert from russia in order to inflict economic pain and ensure the sanctions are as deeply felt as possible and reduce the ability of russia to wage war on ukraine. it is now quite shocking that these allegations have emerged that these allegations have emerged that rishi sunak�*s family itself is benefiting from business in russia, so the chancellor has very serious questions to face on this matter. should you be asking his wife to sell her shares?— should you be asking his wife to sell her shares? given that he has called on businesses _ sell her shares? given that he has called on businesses to _

1:45 pm
services for young people. amelia took up mountain biking to help with her own mental health struggles. she began the challenge last month and will complete her epic ride this weekend in dalby forest, as carla fowler from look north reports. 548 miles and counting. amelia bradbury is well on her way to completing a gruelling mission — to cycle 600 miles in 50 days. the year 11 student from scarborough is raising funds for local charities providing young people with mental health services. and she is riding to draw attention to the huge need for them. it has been hard physically, but it has helped me a lot mentally, just doing the miles and knowing what you are doing it for. to raise awareness for people with mental health problems, to know that there is early intervention, help out there which they can get. it can be a struggle to find it, but it does come. although just 16,
1:46 pm
amelia has already had debilitating anxiety for a decade. her family tried for years to get her help, but were turned away from child mental health services despite a diagnosis of depression. if you go to the doctors and ask for help, you are passed on to somewhere else, and then you are told, well, especially for me, no, you are not hurting yourself you are not ill enough to have the help, and you -et turned away a-ain. they started riding with amelia to help build her esteem, and then the youth charity sidewalk stepped in, a service increasingly in demand, an in—school mentor. part of me feels _ a sadness that a young person needs to ride 600 miles - to raise awareness for funds and a service that is so essential.
1:47 pm
it is reflecting - a growing need to have mental health support. there is also fairly acute need where the higher. level services don't have capacity to provide the support. _ with just over 50 miles to go before reaching the finish line in dalby forest on saturday, amelia has already come a long way. as the fighting continues in ukraine, the battle to save lives on the ground is intensifying. the world health organization says there've been 64 attacks on the country's healthcare system. it's left doctors and surgeons operating under appalling conditions and with little equipment. but now, two consultants from bristol are trying to help — by sending life—saving supplies to the country. laura jones reports. the ruins of ukraine's second city. fighting here in khark has been as bad as it gets, unlike elsewhere in ukraine, many of its schools in the

1:50 pm
my project and my mission and my passion is to preserve the history of the uk reggae sound systems. # a java, my sound well crucial...# i think the london reggae sound systems such as java nuclear power, and others, have influenced artists of the modern day like stormzy and kick—started other genres of music. i've collected hundreds of videos and audios from the 19805 and the early 1990s. this isjoe 90, the real dance hall legend onjava nuclear power sound system. i'm macca, i'm the selector of java nuclear power. this is a basic stack of bass, mid and tops.
1:51 pm
that's how we set up the sound system. this culture came from the caribbean. it's an inheritance that we carry on. i want the history to be preserved, and how they played to be exposed to the younger generation. this music was exclusive, it was not commercial, it was underground. we had such a good vibe. they travelled from the north, from the south, from the east, they came to london carnival. just to hear the sound. just to hear us. these sound systems were pioneers, they brought so much joy to the masses, but sadly these pioneers, a lot of them have not been recognised. some of them have died penniless. some have passed away without any recognition. some are still around but not been given their dues. these audios, these videos are essential to highlight how these sound systems played. they're like a time capsule so you can be transported back to �*83,
1:52 pm
�*84, 1989, or whatever date, and you can hear and you can see how the sound systems played, the crowd response, and hear some rare reggae music. i'm hoping that these sound systems will build a new fan base from the youth of today. eu officials have agreed a plan to clamp down on anti—competitive action by the world's largest technology platforms, in a move aimed at levelling the playing field across global digital markets. our technology correspondent james clayton has more details. this law contains pretty much everything that big tech would not want in a law, because for years and years and years companies like google, apple and meta have been accused of being gatekeepers in their field. that essentially they use their products to give themselves an unfair advantage for other products that they sell. for example, apple, with the app store and it can, essentially, set the rules
1:53 pm
on who can and cannot sell apps in the store. they also charge up to 30% commission. those kinds of stories you have heard over and over again, criticism that they are not playing by fair rules. and many of these companies are colossal companies. they are companies with trillions of dollars and the question is how did they get to be so big? many people including the anti—trust before the eu think they got there unfairly, that they are not playing by the rules that many other smaller companies play by, and as a result, they need their wings clipped. so this is a very significant law. if it were indeed to come into force and it is a law that tech will push against very, very heavily. 0bviously they have a lot of money and expensive lawyers that they will use to try and fight this. but this could be very damaging
1:54 pm
for a key sector for big tech. us presidentjoe biden hasjust touched down in poland, just talking touched down in poland, just talking to dignitaries and others there, he has just to dignitaries and others there, he hasjust come down to dignitaries and others there, he has just come down at the aeroplane steps. lots of diplomacy continuing all around russia's invasion of ukraine, of course, and now here the us president in the country that has taken so many people who have fled the fighting in ukraine. well over 2 million, i think, the fighting in ukraine. well over 2 million, ithink, have the fighting in ukraine. well over 2 million, i think, have arrived the fighting in ukraine. well over 2 million, ithink, have arrived in poland across the border, as they have fled the fighting into its second month. more discussions, much diplomacy, of course about the refugee situation, and the broader conflict, so there will be more from the president's visit to poland and
1:55 pm
elsewhere over the course of the afternoon. we willjust pause for a moment to catch up with the weather as we always do at this time. good afternoon. we really are being spoiled with our weather at the moment, aren't we? plenty of spring sunshine out there once again. take a look at this picture in suffolk. i hope you can get out and enjoy it. there could be a little more cloud across the east coast of england as we go into the weekend. there is a little bit more cloud across the far north, as well. could produce showers into the northern isles. a sunny day generally through scotland. take a look at highland, more sunshine around here over the last few hours in comparison to yesterday. similar story for northern ireland and north—west england, as well. for the remainder of the afternoon, we will keep light winds, plenty of sunshine coming through, may be just an outside chance of one or two isolated showers if you get some cloud bubbling up. top temperatures, again,
1:56 pm
mid to high teens, could be 20 in eastern scotland somewhere this afternoon. as we go through the evening and overnight, more cloud filtering in across the western isles and still through the northern isles. where we have those clear skies, low single figures not out of the question once again. early light frost is possible, may be some mistiness, as well. but it is going to be another glorious day. we keep this low cloud for a time through the western isles, but that should improve a little, and the northern isles in far north of scotland may be a little more overcast. lots of sunshine coming through. a bit more of a breeze on saturday. as a consequence, coming in off that chilly north sea, it will not be quite as warm on those exposed east coasts. around 15—16 here. we should see 18—19 perhaps further west with a little more shelter. do not forget, if you're heading to bed saturday into sunday morning, the clocks go forward. it is the start of british summer time. what a surprise, for the start of summer time, we could see a little more cloud and a cooler feel for england and wales, circulating in off the north sea, around that high pressure. here it could stay a little murky throughout mothering sunday.
1:57 pm
further north, we will keep lots of sunshine and that is where the highest temperatures are likely to be, with 17 degrees. underneath the cloud, which stubbornly sits through the day, 13—14 in one or two spots. but the colder air looks set to return as we go through our week ahead. a northerly flow will slowly start to drag that cooler story further south. it will take its time in arriving, so we start off at the beginning of the week relatively mild. noticeably cooler by the end of the week.
2:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm ben brown live in lviv as ukraine is re—occupying some towns east of the capital, according to the uk's ministry of defence. ukrainian officials say they fear around 300 people may have died in a russian bomb attack on a theatre in the besieged city of mariupol. the united states and european union announce a major deal on liquified natural gas, in an attempt to reduce europe's reliance on russian energy supplies. we're going to work to ensure an additional 15, 1—5, 15 billion cubic metres of liquefied natural gas, lng, for europe this year. and president biden is now in poland to see for himself
