symbolic pictures there from kharkiv. our correspondentjonah fisher joins us now from lviv. jonah, what's the situation there this morning? yesterday we were talking about the fact the russians were saying they would shift their attention towards the east, but in a matter of hours, there were explosions in lviv. so what is it like there this morning? it is actually calm this morning. we had several aerator sirens running late into yesterday evening, of course, around those explosions on two targets year in lviv, a fuel depot and a military installation of some sort. at overnight we did not have more air raid sirens. things are pretty calm here. on the broader point you are making here, yesterday we were talking about a shift to the east, this targeting of military facilities does not necessarily contradict that strategy. russia has

been saying it will continue to hit targets that degrade ukraine's military capability across the country, and referring to its ground offensive, that is basically what it said, it will try to take territory on the ground in eastern ukraine. but i think what most people here in lviv have taken away from it is that this was basically president putin's way, in the words of the mayor, saying hello to president biden at the same time that president biden wasjust across the the same time that president biden was just across the border in poland, saying some pretty tough things about president putin. close to 4 million people have now fled ukraine as a result of the war — that's according to the united nations. and a small number of them have come to the uk. four generations of one family are now living in cambridge after escaping kharkiv. they're staying in a house provided by a complete stranger who wanted to help. helen mulroy has been to meet them. reunited under one roof. this was

unstoppable. taylor hawkins should have been performing with the foo fighters this weekend. in place of that gig, in bogota colombia, a candlelit tribute. devastated fans could only gather outside the hotel where the drummer, who was 50, was found dead. his bandmates of 25 years broke the news yesterday in a statement, calling it a tragic and untimely loss. now colombia's attorney general has released a statement, revealing the results of initial toxicology tests. he said hawkins had ten different substances in his body, including marijuana, antidepressants, and opioids. the statement goes on to say that a forensic investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause of death. the foo fighters was supposed to play in brazil today. part of a world tour which was due to come to the uk at the end of the unit. how

today across parts of eastern england, more cloud pushing in from the north sea makes for a cooler story. that is quite a change for parts of the uk in recent days. this is a big bank of cloud, quite misty and murky already. murky across parts of east anglia and lincolnshire, drifting its way west, some possibility that it will been a little into the afternoon, some brighter skies tucking into the south—east of england and parts of east anglia, but i think where it is set to linger adjacent to the wash it will be a much cooler day, quite great, a drizzling high of 9—11 for norfolk on hold. early cloud in the tay valley will burn off through the day. overnight stays largely fine. still some patrick gerhardt across central areas, temperatures holding up central areas, temperatures holding up under the cloud, but elsewhere temperatures falling close to freezing. south—east of england, the

chance first thing on monday when the skies have cleared overnight. monday, quite a lot of sunshine to be found through the day. brighter across eastern england, perhaps something a cloud shifting further north, drifting into the north—east of england off the north sea, a bit more cloud coming into southern england. the temperatures back up again, thanks to my sunshine across seasoning on tomorrow. take a look at the week ahead. if you are settling in to british summertime, thinking it was starting to really feel like some that is certainly not what is happening later on this week. tuesday is the start of our transition, this line of cloud here actually marking a weather front not very much in the way of rain, but some showers around on tuesday. my goodness it is going to usher in colder air behind it, just four in america on tuesday. a bit of warmth hanging on in southern england. we start to pull that cold air all the way south across the uk, with an increasing chance of showers through the middle part of the week. on

thursday we are all into the colder air, it looks for the moment like we could see an area of low pressure in the south of the uk, you could see white mixed around that, at the moment it looks like anything wintry for the highest ground, for a time we could see something slushy, for example, at lower levels. days of 20 degrees and sunshine to the prospects of a pretty biting easterly wind and even a glimpse of some snow, i think, by the end of the week ahead. just as we have moved on to british summertime. just as we have moved on to british summertime-— petrol and diesel may be a few pence cheaper than it was last weekend but it remains extremely expensive, prompting more of us to consider alternative modes of transport. for some commuters, that might mean electric scooters which can be legally hired and ridden on the roads in some towns and cities. however, a bbc investigation has found that many privately owned e—scooters are being misused and rigged to go much faster, as colin campbell reports.

hardly call it out in the sticks. but it is notjust the odd house here that relies on heating oil. every single one of the 170 homes in this village are off the gas grid —— kilmington. rising from an average of £250 to fill a 500 litres tank last september to £875. 50 of £250 to fill a 500 litres tank last september to £875. so this is m tank. last september to £875. so this is my tank- it _ last september to £875. so this is my tank- it is _ last september to £875. so this is my tank. it is 1000 _ last september to £875. so this is my tank. it is 1000 litres. - last september to £875. so this is my tank. it is 1000 litres. it - last september to £875. so this is | my tank. it is 1000 litres. it means forfamilies— my tank. it is 1000 litres. it means for families here _ my tank. it is 1000 litres. it means for families here to _ my tank. it is 1000 litres. it means for families here to heat _ my tank. it is 1000 litres. it means for families here to heat their i my tank. it is 1000 litres. it means| for families here to heat their home and take a hot bath, prices have more than tripled in the last six months. , . more than tripled in the last six months. , , ., , ., , more than tripled in the last six months. , ., ., months. just under two years ago, ou could months. just under two years ago, you could get _ months. just under two years ago, you could get a — months. just under two years ago, you could get a litre _ months. just under two years ago, you could get a litre of _ months. just under two years ago, you could get a litre of oil - months. just under two years ago, you could get a litre of oil for i you could get a litre of oilfor around about 20p a litre. at its worst, it was about 100 and 60p or 100 and 80p a litre. people in the village, certainly we will tend to put extra clothes on, keep our heating bills as low as we can enclose the doors, close windows. it is a massive impact, especially for the young in the old.— the young in the old. although nationally households - the young in the old. although nationally households who i the young in the old. although nationally households who use heating oil are in the minority, in

east yorkshire and lincolnshire it is more common than you would think. for example, 32% of all homes in east yorkshire use oil, and it is as high as 52% in the east lindsey district of lincolnshire, which is making tanks a target for thieves. both lincolnshire and humberside police have noticed incidences. where is here it is so visible from the road. that is the difficulty, isn't it? if it could be moved, it means moving out of sight from the road. . f . means moving out of sight from the road. ., �*, ., ,, road. lucy's other's tank was em tied road. lucy's other's tank was emptied by _ road. lucy's other's tank was emptied by thieves _ road. lucy's other's tank was i emptied by thieves masquerading road. lucy's other's tank was - emptied by thieves masquerading as a delivery driver. mi; emptied by thieves masquerading as a delivery driver-— delivery driver. my dad is 89. it was a bit sickening, _ delivery driver. my dad is 89. it was a bit sickening, really. it i delivery driver. my dad is 89. it i was a bit sickening, really. it was absolutely freezing cold that way, as well. it was in february, and there was a bit of snow, so he was left without heating for a week because we had to reorder the oil. one of the most important bits of advice _ one of the most important bits of advice we — one of the most important bits of advice we can give is, if your oil

or you'll lose the election." the paper says its readers don't believe the chancellor did enough to help them in this week's spring statement. lets go underwater for a moment. penguins, sharks and piranhas are not creatures you would normally associate with hull, but they are just some of the inhabitants of the city's marine conservation centre the deep. it opened 20 years ago this week, and in that time it has brought in millions of visitors and become a landmark in its own right, as philip norton reports. as iconic structures go, the deep

event. but this one will be hard to forget. especially for mick schumacher. some feel this circuit in jetter is schumacher. some feel this circuit injetter is too dangerous. fortunately this year's cars are stronger than ever. despite the ferocity of the impact, the sun of seven time world champion michael seemed ok. you can see him at the top of your screen, chatting before being returned to our hospital for assessment. another shock is lewis hamilton coming 16. he claimed pole not four months ago, but this is his qualifier not a penalty or crash in 2009. his mercedes teammate will start from six, george russell. the best surprise was last, sergio perez claimed the first pole of his career ahead of the two ferraris and his red bull teammate world champion max verstappen. nick parrott, bbc news. promises to be very unprintable later indeed. —— unpredictable. what a turnaround it's been for england, at the women's cricket world cup. the defending champions

are through to the semi—finals, easing past bangladesh this morning. batter sophia dunkley made 67, as england set an imposing total of 234—6. their opponents never in contention, really, with england winning by 100 runs. it's been an incredible turnaround for england who have won four successive matches after beginning the tournament with three straight losses. another woeful batting display means england's men are on the verge of defeat in the third and deciding test against west indies. they ended the day 103—8, just 10 runs ahead of their opponents, with two days to go. patrick gearey reports. sometimes you don't need to be scores, just the faces. there is no hiding england's problems. they were supposed to take the final two west indies wickets quickly. instead, josh desilva went to his first test century, and built a menacing lead of 93. that pressure. and when england buts, pressure means... that was zak crawley out. now west indies turned to kyle mayers, who stalks joe root�*s nightmares. second time

in the match he's got it. by international standards, mayers is no express train, but he has become a stopping service. dan lawrence terminated here. they look set it all. one of those days, another of those days, ben stokes nast, west indies rampant. england rebuilt briefly but there was trouble around every corner. the fielder, mayers, the batsman, unawares. that was out. england six wickets down. the lead was just eight runs when they lost eight wickets, mayers his fifth. the match and the series nearly gone, after the ashes, england promised to reset. instead they keep hitting the off switch. patrick geary, bbc news. and redemption of some sorts forjosh warrington, who won back the ibf featherweight title last night by knockout, against kiko martinez. warrington was explosive from the outset, in front of a buzzing hometown crowd in leeds. a familiar venue for him. he put his opponent down in the first, and sensed an early

finish — but it went to the 7th, when the ref stopped the fight. glory for warrington, after defeat and a draw in his last two fights. england continued their world cup preparations with a 2—1 friendly win over switzerland at wembley, although they had to come from behind to win. there was a landmark for captain harry kane to celebrate too, level with sir bobby charlton now on 49 england goals, as nesta mcgregor reports. a big upside to the international break is for a brief moment of some football fans can forget about any domestic despair. and if the sun has decided tojoin the domestic despair. and if the sun has decided to join the party, domestic despair. and if the sun has decided tojoin the party, well, thatis decided tojoin the party, well, that is a bonus. for two of england's starting 11 it was their first time being invited to such an occasion. switzerland on the other hand usually had a miserable time as guests. they have never beaten england on uk soil, although with 21 minutes gone, bruno boland announced his arrival, silencing the wembley cloud. the home side were second for

most of the first half, butjust cloud. the home side were second for most of the first half, but just as it ended, they received a presence, luke shaw rubbing his left foot around this effort. england started the second half without their names on the back of their shirts. the gesture was to raise awareness for those living with dementia. england's when it came from the penalty spot. blink and you might have missed it. captain harry kane did the rest, his 49th goal for his country, as he gets closer to wayne rooney's record. a friendly feature like this is never reallyjust about the result, but it is a chance for those fringe players to enter the conversation about that world cup squad for qatar later this year. and there is another opportunity to impress when england play the ivory coast on tuesday. christian eriksen has made a remarkable return to international football, scoring with his first touch of the ball in denmark's 4—2 friendly defeat to netherlands. the 30—year—old midfielder, who suffered a cardiac arrest during euro 2020, came on as a substitute to score denmark's second goal. injanuary eriksen signed a contract to play for brentford until the end of the season.

here on hollywood boulevard. we report on the three—way race for best picture. will the oscars' top prize go to belfast... be careful what you wish for. ..the power of the dog... well, well... ..or coda? how the war in ukraine is making some stars a little hesitant when it comes to celebrating the oscars. they pray that somehow, - some way there can be laughter and joy in that part of the world. also, kenneth branagh tells me how his best picture contender, belfast, has changed him. i've gone on a very long and circuitous journey. and deaf actors and stories front and centre at the academy awards. it's like i've woken up in this dream world and i'm trying to edge my way through. and the three women who will be fronting the oscars telecast. all that and more in this special oscars preview edition of talking movies.

of course, in recent weeks, the whole world has been consumed by developments in ukraine. here in hollywood, the film industry has been energised and outspoken. hollywood's biggest night of the year is taking place more than 6,000 miles from kyiv in ukraine, but the war is on the minds of many attending the ceremony. some stars are uneasy — among them, maggie gyllenhaal, nominated in the adapted screenplay category. she can't quite get her head around the idea of celebrating at the oscars in a time of war. it's very difficult to think about getting dressed up in fancy dresses and going to parties. you know, the party aspect of it, the excess is really hard to hold in your mind at the same time as what's happening in ukraine. here are the nominees for best picture. the war has also changed the way in which some of the movies in the best picture race are being perceived. sir kenneth branagh believes his possible best picture winner, belfast... we're looking to cleanse l the community a wee bit. you wouldn't want to be the odd man out. | ..a semi—autobiographical story of his own family's life upended by the troubles in northern ireland in the 19605...

are we going to have to leave belfast? ..is pertinent to the suffering in ukraine. in the world we live in, the kinds of appalling events that are happening in ukraine, we have this dark but perhaps unusual opportunity to view things almost as they're happening, and perhaps to, wherever possible, in whatever small ways, intervene. art can play its part in that, in terms ofjust reminding people of the human connection, which is vital at times of this disruptive, revolutionary kind of energy, to keep connected. the story of belfast, i think, lets people see how vital, even while communities are being torn apart, to try and hold on to that which bonds them and unites them. the bravery of the people of ukraine... at awards events in recent weeks, many winners have expressed their support for ukraine.

the babies in ukraine... lady gaga, who will be presenting an award on oscars night, told me she would like to see some sort of tribute to the people of ukraine at the academy awards. absolutely. i think that we all should be making sure that we keep ukraine in our hearts at every moment. we all have a real obligation right now. and when one of the oscars hosts, amy schumer, appeared on the drew barrymore show, she said she wanted president zelensky of ukraine to have a presence in some form at the oscars ceremony. i wanted to find a way to have zelensky like, you know, satellite in or make a tape or something, and just because it...just because so many eyes get...there's so many eyes on the oscars that... but, you know, i'm not afraid to go there. but you know, it's not.... it's not me producing the oscars. the academy didn't respond to a request for information on what they're planning to do at the ceremony in relation to ukraine, if anything, but it needs to get its messaging right. the oscars is on a slippery slope, losing its cultural relevance in a way that hasn't quite hit home.

last year, it got its lowest ratings ever. it can't afford to be out of touch with the cultural zeitgeist at a time of war. going into the oscars, new zealand film—maker jane campion's western psychological drama, the power of the dog, which portrays a mean—spirited, misogynist rancher, played by benedict cumberbatch, was the oscars frontrunner with 12 nominations. but how will this acclaimed, masterful epic fare at the ceremony? will it take home the top oscar trophies? well, emma jones has been finding out. open up the gate. let him out. you sure? he's not ready. go on. let him out. emma: no toothless hound... he'sjust a man, peter. ..the power of the dog has 12 oscar nominations. only another man. the movie and its new zealand—born director, jane campion, has devoured this awards season, taking prizes for best director... jane campion. ..and best picture. the power of the dog.

its success was predicted from the moment campion won a silver lion at last year's venice film festival. we were just so excited that so many people could get our movie, because i think it's quite a courageous kind of film, isn't it? it's a little bit of a mystery, as you know, and you see, very strong piece, so i found that very exciting. campion brings delicacy and subtlety to the story of phil, played by benedict cumberbatch, a rancher in 1920s montana who displays rough cruelty to his brother's new wife, rose, played by kirsten dunst... ..and herson, played by kodi smit—mcphee. now get us some food. it's bought best actor and best supporting actor nominations for all the main cast. told you i'd teach you. but they all cite campion, who won the 1993 cannes palme d'or and best original screenplay oscar

for the film the piano... can you hear me? ..as the reason they got involved. i was terrified of meeting jane. you know, she was coming with all the respect i have for her iconic work and her presence in cinema, so i didn't know her, and then i met her and just completely fell for her, just adored her, and she opened this portfolio of the kind of look— book of what she'd imagined. the delicacy and the intimacy and the rawness of it was really unexpected. and i thought, this is going to be a magic combination, her lens on this world. i honestly was interested in it to work with jane. i i had been an admirer of hers for so long. i she's just a director i've always wanted to work with. _ so, to have that opportunity, i would have played phil, i you know, it's not really... like, that's what i i was drawn to, isjane. the power of the dog was a huge hit with festival audiences

wherever it was shown, including here in london, but it only had a very limited cinema release because it's a netflix film aimed, like alfonso cuaron's roma and martin scorsese's the irishman, directly at the oscars. those films didn't win best picture. will this year be any different? netflix have got two contenders this year — the power of the dog, the elena ferrante adaptation, the lost daughter, by maggie gyllenhaal. get up! mommy, get up! they've got skin in the game. they've got a chance, but again, these are not hugely popular movies. they're not top of the netflix streaming charts. they're prestige vehicles that netflix is doing to ultimately win the golden bauble, to say, "look, we make movies. "we're not here to destroy cinema." they might find themselves getting to the top of mount olympus and finding, really, there's nothing much there. no doubt, netflix subscribers will look for the film off the back of a best picture oscar accolade, but it's campion herself who is the movie's best hope of gold — a film—maker who smashed glass

ceilings when they were virtually indestructible. the feeling is that she's earned that best director oscar. tom: sir kenneth branagh's picture, belfast, has many fans among academy members here in los angeles. it's a story inspired by his childhood in northern ireland when family life in his household was upended by the troubles. but it is a feel—good film, and that may well resonate with academy voters seeking comfort during these tumultuous times. we caught up with sir kenneth recently when he was here in la. he's spent time with awards voters, drumming up support for his largely autobiographical, affectionate coming—of—age drama... and action! ..revolving around nine—year—old buddy in belfast, played byjude hill, whose familiarfamily life is changed forever by the troubles.

this is the time to think about making a new start. i know nothing else but belfast. exactly. there's a whole world out there. oscar voters have warmed to the film. the response has been very moving. lots of people feel as though they empathise with buddy, that in some form or another, we have all been buddies, and i think they feel as though there are many belfasts, many, many ways of understanding how difficult it can be to leave the place that you call home. and i think they're incredibly appreciative of the lightness of touch in the film. in the middle of, you know, grim circumstances, the coping mechanisms of laughter and music and dancing and ad hoc parties is at play. so, seeing the lighter side, whenever possible, in a very tough situation is something that people seem to have responded to. this is your most personal film to date. do you think it has changed you, making it, as a person? has it made you into a better human being and film—maker?

i think that you learn from everything that you do if you're lucky enough to be involved in work that involves notjust introspection, but challenges you to look at other people and learn from the way their own human development occurs. for me, belfast was about declaring who i am, where the creative dna comes from, where the actual dna comes from, the place, the people and also the spirit, the values, if you like, of working—class north belfast in the late '60s, at a time of trouble. from there, i've gone on a very long and circuitousjourney, it's been a very privileged one, but i'm very proud and pleased to have landed back, creatively and personally, in the heart of who i am, who i was and whether i like it or not, who i'll always be. well, thank you very much for the interview, and good luck on oscars night. thanks, tom. thank you very much. coming up in talking movies,

more from hollywood boulevard in our preview of the academy awards. applause tonight we are here to celebrate. the oscars tv ceremony is in trouble. last year, it recorded its lowest ratings ever. some said this was partly due to the fact that the ceremony didn't have a host, so this year there will be a host for the first time since 2018 — in fact, three of them. kizzy cox has been looking at the three women who will be fronting the oscars telecast and seeing if they have what it takes to bring about a ratings miracle. kizzy: this year's academy awards ceremony will have three different hosts, all women — amy schumer, regina hall and wanda sykes — each hosting for one hour of the broadcast. all three women are pretty good on theirfeet, so to be a good oscar host, you have to pay attention, you have to be funny, you have to be respectful, because this is hollywood's biggest night to celebrate what we're supposed to be about. regina hall, an actress famous for her work in the scary movie franchise and the hit film girls trip, is an experienced host, having helmed the bet awards.

ba—da—ba—ba—da—ba—ba—da! i mean, am i right? amy schumer, a comedian known for her sketch comedy show inside amy schumer... wait, it's me! it's me! ..has hosted the mtv music awards, and wanda sykes, a comedian and actress who's appeared in dozens of tv shows and movies, including evan almighty... did you fall in a mine shaft?! ..and bad moms... let's try some role—playing. ..has hosted her own talk show. but will their skills and appeal actually improve ratings? i never have believed that the host has anything to do with it. i believe it really does... the biggest years were the years you had blockbusters in contention for best picture. titanic... ..lord of the rings... those are the top of the line. but those days are over.

the real question is, is whether the films that the academy nominates are ones fans are even interested in. are viewers really going to tune in to an awards show for films they didn't even see? they always nominate films that the general public hasn't heard of. but what the academy does so well that often gets overlooked is that they inspire the general public to now seek out these movies. but inspiration clearly hasn't been enough to keep viewers interested in the oscars show. for now, the jury's still out on whether the old—school oscars, hosted or not, can do anything to appeal to the tiktok generation. they consume content differently. they are watching a lot of these movies from home, on their couch, on their phones. how can you put on an awards show that will excite people and get them interested to tune in for the event? tom: one oscar—nominated film that i really liked was flee. it's an animated documentary which tells of an afghan refugee fleeing from kabul more than 20 years ago. but it's much more than a story of a man fleeing from the country of his birth.

it's achieved quite a feat in terms of nominations. it's been nominated for best documentary feature, best international film feature, and best animated feature, all at the same time. noah gittell reports. noah: flee, the ground—breaking, oscar—nominated animated documentary may defy easy categorisation, but its story has resonated with a wide variety of audiences. it's not the first film to portray the refugee experience as a harrowing ordeal, but the film succeeds by never politicising its subject. at the heart of flee is one man, amin, telling his story to his childhood friend, danish film—maker jonas poher rasmussen.

it's this opportunity to subvert the traditional narratives around refugees that first drew rasmussen to the idea of making flee. the refugee story is often simplified. being a refugee becomes their identity, but it's not. and because flee, amin's story, is told from the inside of a friendship, i'm hoping that i can give a lot more nuance to the refugee story and give a human face to the refugee story and show that they have, you know, complex psychologies, like you and me. using animation is one of the film's masterstrokes. it's a choice that separates flee from other documentaries, giving the film a pleasing visual style that makes the quite painful story more accessible. but the film might not have even been possible without it, as the animation allowed amin to feel comfortable sharing his story in the first place. the fact that he could stay anonymous and wouldn't meet people in the street who would ask him

about his traumas, his secrets, things that he can't small—talk about, was really key to free him and to make it, to enable him to open up and share his story. flee has been featured prominently at many different events this awards season, where it's won considerable recognition. what may help the film at the oscars, however, is its subject matter — the plight of refugees — something very much in the news. do you think viewers, voters will find more resonates with them in the film now? probably. yeah, you know, it's become sadly relevant to what's going on right now. it really gives a spotlight to a very important subject. through this film, i'm able to give some nuance and perspective to the refugee experience, and it's amazing to see how the european countries open up their borders and their hearts and arms to refugees from ukraine right now, and i really hope this is a change, you know, in how people will treat refugees in general,

notjust from ukraine, but also from afghanistan and syria and all the other places in the world where you have refugees coming. flee faces stiff competition, so it may leave the oscars empty—handed. but given that the film is nominated in three categories, global audiences will at least hear its name called repeatedly during the telecast, ensuring this powerful story becomes more known around the world, especially to those who need it. when it comes to oscar nominations, deaf people traditionally don't get much representation, but this year things may be a bit different because two nominated films feature deaf stories and deaf people. critics have long bemoaned the way in which hollywood portrays deaf people in its films, so some are asking, does oscar season 2022 herald a new, more inclusive era in terms of the way in which deaf people

are represented in film? # you're all # all that i need...# this oscars race has thrust deaf stories, people and actors into the limelight. with three nominations is coda — very popular with academy awards voters... ..a coming—of—age story with three deaf actors in key roles. the japanese road movie, drive my car, displays korean sign language at one point. and the oscar—nominated documentary short audible has also been getting attention. it's an intimate look at the life of a young deaf footballer. translation: there are so many more deaf people out there that need - to have access to their dreams, that act, that want to be in movies,

that want to show their stories, that can do drama, that can be the heart—throb, that can be the comedian, and we have amazing skills that we want to share with the rest of the world. all of my life, i've been fascinated with asl, with the deaf community and our acting skills. and so this is a good thing, this is a great thing, exposure to the hearing world. now it's time for me to stick my neck out and try to predict which films and individuals will be taking home the top oscar prizes. best adapted screenplay will go to the power of the dog, best original screenplay being perhaps the one trophy belfast picks up. you're buddy from belfast, where everybody knows you. best documentary feature, that prize will go to questlove for summer of soul. best international feature film will almost certainly be awarded

to the critical favourite, the japanese road movie, drive my car. best supporting actress has to go to ariana debose from west side story. and troy kotsur will win best supporting actor for his role in coda. best actress, that's tough to call, butjessica chastain seems to be the favourite... this is who i am. ..for her leading role in the eyes of tammy faye. and best actor, well, i predict with a good degree of confidence that prize will be awarded to will smith for his brilliant work in king richard. you're going to be i the greatest of all time. best director, that prize belongs to jane campion for her work on the power of the dog, and she will win. so, to best picture. the conventional wisdom has it that the power of the dog will win the most coveted oscar prize of all. but i'm going to go out on a limb and say that sir kenneth branagh's belfast... # everlasting love. ..# ..will be the 2022 oscars best picture winner.

hey, buddy! well, that brings our special preview of the academy awards to a close. i hope you enjoyed the programme. please remember you can always reach us online at... ...and you can find us on facebook and twitter. pleasejoin me on oscars night, when i'll be reporting live with my colleague, peter bowes, from los angeles on the academy awards results. so, from me, tom brook, and the rest of the talking movies team here in hollywood, it's goodbye as we leave you with the oscar—nominated song from the james bond film no time to die. # no time to die # hm—mm—mm # no time to die # oo—oo—ooh # fool me once, fool me twice

# are you death or paradise? # now you'll never see me cry # there's just no time to die.#

good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and victoria fritz. our headlines today: a butcher who has to go — president biden issues a warning to vladimir putin. for god's sake, this man cannot remain. but the white house insists he isn't calling for regime change. powerful explosions rock the western ukrainian city of lviv. the mayor says the russian air strikes were a message to the american president. foo fighters drummer taylor hawkins had traces of ten different drugs in his system when he died, according columbian officials. a dreadful qualifying session for lewis hamilton in formula one. the seven—time world champion will start the saudi arabian grand prix back in 16th place.

good morning. it is the first day of british summertime, still a lot of sunshine to come today across the uk. in eastern england, a lot more cloud will make for a chillier field. but if we look further ahead into this week, it will be turning colderfor all into this week, it will be turning colder for all of into this week, it will be turning colderfor all of us. it's sunday, the 27th of march. our main story: the us presidentjoe biden has called vladimir putin a butcher and a dictator during a speech in warsaw, and said he "cannot remain in power" — although the white house later clarified that mr biden was not calling for regime change. his comments came as ukraine's western city of lviv came under heavy rocket fire, despite russia saying it would now focus its military strategy on the east. graham satchell has the latest details. missiles roar.

cruise missiles launched from the russian black sea fleet. it's just 48 hours since russia said it would concentrate its firepower in eastern ukraine. this is lviv, the biggest city in the west. the russians hit an oil depot and a military plant, both in residential areas. five people were injured. lviv has become something of a safe haven in recent weeks. not anymore. translation: how do we defend ourselves? | we had a life before the war started, and now it is not a life. the attacks in lviv further evidence that what russia says and what it does are often not the same. translation: with today's strikes, the aggressors want to say hello i to president biden, who is currently in poland. lviv is only 70 kilometres from the polish border, and i think the world needs to understand that the threat is very, very serious.

the american president meeting refugees in poland. joe biden called the russian leader vladimir putin a butcher, and later, in a passionate speech in warsaw... don't even think about moving on one single inch of nato territory! we have a sacred obligation. he appeared to call for president putin to be removed. for god's sake, this man can't remain in power. the white house later clarified this was not a call for regime change in russia. in his nightly address, the ukrainian president repeated his demand for substantial military help. translation: what is | the price of our security? this is very, very specific. it is plain for ukraine. it is tanks, it is anti—ship weapons, that is what our partners have, just gathering dust. after all, this is not only for the freedom of ukraine but the freedom of europe.

an underground station in kharkiv, and musicians arrive. in normal times, this weekend would see the start of the annual music festival here. organisers determined to carry on. it is a moment of beauty and solace, as war continues to rage overhead. graham satchell, bbc news. the foreign secretary, liz truss, has said sanctions against russia should only be removed in the event of a full ceasefire and withdrawal from ukraine. we're joined now by our political

correspondent helen catt. helen, is this a case of liz truss offering vladimir putin a so—called "off ramp," or simply flagging that sanctions will be in place for some time to come? well, liz truss is really keen to increase the pressure on russia. she saysin increase the pressure on russia. she says in this interview that she doesn't believe that currently the russians are negotiating seriously, and she wants to increase pressure to try and make sure that happens. so actually, in the short term, you would expect there are likely to be more sanctions coming down the track. but she does talk about the conditions for lifting them and she doesn't very much in the context, i think, of trying to influence russian behaviour going forward. —— does that very much. she says that as borisjohnson said, western countries made mistakes in the aftermath of 2014, when putin, russia, invaded crimea. she talks about using sanctions as a hard

lever. things like, she says, the conditions for lifting them could only, she says, come off with a full ceasefire and withdrawal, but also commitments there there would be no further aggression. commitments there there would be no furtheraggression. she commitments there there would be no further aggression. she also wants the opportunity to have what she calls snaps back sanctions, which are as they sound. the idea of imposing restrictions if russia falls out of loud. she says that is a real leader she thinks can be used. the other thing she thinks will be important is that the g7 countries move together on this. thank you very much, helen. our correspondentjonah fisher joins us now from lviv. jonah, what's the situation there this morning? we are hearing from the ukrainian government this morning, russia is bringing more trips into the country? what we know about that? == country? what we know about that? 2» troops. yes, country? what we know about that? »» troops. yes, ukrainian officials are saying, that is something we have been observing over the last several months of rotational forces, reinforcements being brought into

ukraine to try and move things forward on the ground, because of course russia has been largely stalled outside kyiv, outside kharkiv, the two major cities. so that comes as no great surprise, really. it has been quiet overnight, but yesterday afternoon and evening we did have several missile strikes hit some targets in lviv, pretty close to here. a fuel depot which burned vigorously and also a military facility. western ukraine has largely been a part of the country that has been peaceful during more than a month of war, it is where people have come for refuge, where they have come as a route out of the country, i think there is very much a feeling here in lviv in particular that with a target is just a couple of miles from the city centre, that perhaps this place, perhaps western ukraine, is not quite as safe as those people fleeing the war elsewhere were hoping it would be. jonah fisher, thank you.

officials in colombia have released more details about the death of the foo fighters drummer taylor hawkins. they say ten substances — including opioids and anti—depressants — were found in his body after he died in the capital city of bogota. will batchelor reports. raucous, riotous, and seemingly unstoppable. taylor hawkins should have been performing with the foo fighters this weekend. in place of that gig, in bogota colombia, a candlelit tribute. devastated fans could only gather outside the hotel where the drummer, who was 50, was found dead. his bandmates of 25 years broke the news yesterday in a statement, calling it a tragic and untimely loss. now colombia's attorney general has released a statement, revealing the results of initial toxicology tests. he said hawkins had ten different substances in his body, including marijuana, antidepressants, and opioids.

the statement goes on to say that a forensic investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause of death. the foo fighters were supposed to play in brazil today, part of a world tour which was due to come to the uk at the end of the year. how or when they will continue without their talismanic drummer is a question which is yet to be answered. will batchelor, bbc news. so energetic, wasn't he? yeah. we are auoin so energetic, wasn't he? yeah. we are going to _ so energetic, wasn't he? yeah. we are going to talk— so energetic, wasn't he? yeah. we are going to talk to _ so energetic, wasn't he? 122“i we are going to talk to marketing from level 42 a bit later about taylor hawkins, and also to a couple of other people. coldplay, interestingly, have posted a tribute. they are performing in mexico on their world tour, they dedicated their song everglow to hawkins, chris martin on stage

was on whiz air, setting up of five aircraft base year in competition against both easyjet, the main airline, and also ba, british airways, they ended their european flights here two years ago, they are now looking up from tuesday on boards with a new, effectively kind of budget operation, which they promise will deliver the same standards as normal british airways but at lower prices. so it will be quite competitive from here. but every thing seems to be going smoothly, apart from, would you believe, the railways. we you the main line from london victoria would not be working today because of engineering works, but there is an alternative service from london bridge. due to staff shortages there was a 2.5 year gap between trains, so taxi drivers have been running a shuttle service on the 28 mile journey from london.- shuttle service on the 28 mile journey from london. simon, you mentioned _ journey from london. simon, you mentioned staff _ journey from london. simon, you mentioned staff shortages. i - journey from london. simon, you mentioned staff shortages. i was| mentioned staff shortages. i was speaking to the boss of manchester

airport, you'll have to walk through terminali, go airport, you'll have to walk through terminal 1, go security there, but around the country, as you say, it is a very difficult picture. you are suddenly seeing a very, very sharp increase in the amount of flying and an awful lot of stuff, bear in mind that this time last year, because down to about 3% of normal activity, so the vast of staff were furloughed, many of them had left. and it is, you know, everything from people who make coffee to the people who do the very important work of security screening, finding staff is a big problem. gatwick is saying, please get your good and early, because there could be delays, we will do our best to get you on your way, it seems to be going pretty smoothly from the south terminal, but that is because not many passengers are here yet. the north terminal, i was there earlier, absolutely heaving, it is the main terminal for easyjet. and absolutely heaving, it is the main terminalfor easyjet. and i think thatis terminalfor easyjet. and i think that is an easyjet flightjust

taking off, i've no idea where to. and while we still have you, air travel looking like it is kind of getting back up and running, but things looking pretty different for sea travel, isn't it? can you update us on where we are with p807 interesting, it is ten days since we had the shock announcement from p&0 ferries, which is unrelated to p&0 cruisers, saying all our british staff and crew, nearly 800 of them, you are all fired, you can have some redundancy money better than the law stipulates, but we will get cheaper crew in because we really can't make any money from this. they say they are losing 100 million per year. right now... i are losing 100 million per year. right nova - -— are losing 100 million per year. right now... i think we have lost simon. that's _ right now... i think we have lost simon. that's a _ right now... i think we have lost simon. that's a shame. - right now... i think we have lost simon. that's a shame. just - right now... i think we have lost simon. that's a shame. just in i right now... i think we have lost i simon. that's a shame. just in full flow, he has frozen.—

today, it is going to make us feel much cooler in this little pocket of the uk, especially along the length of the north sea coast, perhaps just 11 the high for a whole and nights. elsewhere, still warm thanks to the sunshine, temperatures widely 16 degrees —— hull. the clearing skies will mean temperatures fall away again into the small hours of monday. we could see some dense fog close to the london area first thing monday. still quite chilly the further north and west you are, and underneath this little area of cloud, the fog would again thicken first thing on monday. monday a pretty quiet day once again, but things are starting to shift a little. the area of high pressure will weekend. that means we could get some showers developing across northern england. still some warmth in the sunshine, particularly across southern england, but glanced up there towards lerwick and behind a coldweather front, temperatures already coming down quite markedly.

this line is the boundary between the warm atlantic air and the cold arctic air and there is your week ahead. that pretty much says it all, doesn't it? by the end of the week we could even see an area of low pressure getting into the mix, turning things very uncertain indeed. tuesday still pretty quiet. some showers across southern england, certainly more cloud around. a cooler story for us all. temperatures around average for the south, starting to dip below, however, further north. six degrees in aberdeen, showers coming in from the north and turning an increasingly wintry. the cold air trickles all the way south across the uk through wednesday. more cloud around in general. showers in these areas as well. here you see what i was talking about, the area of low pressure towards the end of the week. we are away from this at the moment so the positioning is somewhat uncertain. what we are pretty certain of is the cold air and if we do mix those two things together, we could see a spell of wintry conditions for a time until we get into the latter part of this week. certainly it is going to feel

very different. at the moment it looks like anything particularly wintry will be confined to the highest ground, but don't be surprised if you see a little bit of sleet passing nearby during the course of thursday and a pretty cold wind, even as things brighten up towards the end of the week. roger, victoria. the towards the end of the week. roger, victoria. . ., , ., ~ , ., victoria. the computer makes that look a lot more _ victoria. the computer makes that look a lot more dramatic _ victoria. the computer makes that look a lot more dramatic than - victoria. the computer makes that look a lot more dramatic than it i victoria. the computer makes that | look a lot more dramatic than it did yesterday. it look a lot more dramatic than it did esterda . ., , ., ,., look a lot more dramatic than it did esterda . ., , ., ., ~ yesterday. it does tend to, so take that with a — yesterday. it does tend to, so take that with a pinch _ yesterday. it does tend to, so take that with a pinch of _ yesterday. it does tend to, so take that with a pinch of salt _ yesterday. it does tend to, so take that with a pinch of salt but - yesterday. it does tend to, so take that with a pinch of salt but the - that with a pinch of salt but the cold trend is looking very strong. in contrast to this weekend the next weekend in the end of the week, very different. ., weekend in the end of the week, very different. . ,, we know the pandemic was a tough time for businesses, with many closing down or forced to make redundancies. some entrepreneurs, however, did spot opportunities to launch new ventures, often based on their own hobbies and passions. rachel royce has been to meet the owners of three firms that were set up during lockdown. sarah hodgkinson had a greatjob at

pressure means. . . that was zak crawley out. now, west indies turned to kyle mayers, who stalks joe root�*s nightmares. second time in the match, he�*s got him. by international standards, mayers is no express train, but he�*s become a stopping service. dan lawrence terminated here. the look said it all — one of those days. another one of those days. ben stokes next, west indies rampant. england rebuilt briefly but there was trouble around every corner. the fielder, mayers, the batsman, unawares. that was out. england six wickets down. their lead was just eight runs when they lost their eighth wicket, mayers of course his fifth. the match and the series nearly gone. after the ashes, england promised a reset. instead, they keep hitting the off switch. patrick geary, bbc news.

and redemption of some sorts forjosh warrington, who won back the ibf featherweight title last night by knockout, against kiko martinez. warrington was explosive from the outset, in front of a buzzing hometown crowd in leeds — a familiar venue for him. he put his opponent down in the first, and sensed an early finish. but it went to the seventh, when the ref stopped the fight. glory for warrington, after defeat and a draw in his last two fights. england continued their world cup preparations with a 2—1 friendly win over switzerland at wembley, although they had to come from behind to win. there was a landmark for captain harry kane to celebrate too, level with sir bobby charlton now on 49 england goals. england struggled to assert themselves again the swiss who went ahead through bree embolo after 20 minutes. luke shaw made it1 all before harry kane equalled sir bobby charlton�*s total of 49 goals for england. wayne rooney hold the record with 53. the republic of ireland 2—2 with the world�*s number one

as this conflict enters its fourth week, a staggering 10 million people, a quarter of ukraine�*s population have been forced to leave their homes according to the un. while it has been catastrophic, russia�*s strategy of lightning strikes has failed to topple city after city. this is now a war of attrition, with russian troops launching long—range missile attacks to devastating effect, while ukrainian fighters try to cut their supply lines. the conflict has now been raging for 26 days, and accused is under a new curfew. at least

eight people are killed after the city was struck by a series of explosions. russian forces continue to hit hard from outside the city, but large areas outside kyiv remain under ukrainian control. orla guerin meets the territorial defence recruit is now training for urban combat as they prepare to defend the capital. the key target is kyiv, and in a forest on the outskirts, its defenders are preparing for battle. their instructor is a georgian who fought the russians during the war in his homeland in 2008. the concern here is not about russia can surround or capture kyiv. but that it may avenge itself on the city. i am not sure they will be able to besiege kyiv, it is a very long city with a lot of defence in it. it

would be really hard to encircle it. but what they can really do for it is that out of weakness, out of despair, because they are losing this war, they will destroy it as much as possible, because of hate. then, time to get into position. behind the sniper sites. alex has been a hunter since boyhood. he is unflinching and unapologetic. about his new wartime role, hunting the enemy. it his new wartime role, hunting the enem . , ., ., ., . , enemy. it is our motherland. we must defend it. enemy. it is our motherland. we must defend it- and — enemy. it is our motherland. we must defend it. and in _ enemy. it is our motherland. we must defend it. and in this _ enemy. it is our motherland. we must defend it. and in this case _ enemy. it is our motherland. we must defend it. and in this case i _ enemy. it is our motherland. we must defend it. and in this case i think- defend it. and in this case i think it is no different between animals, which i tried to shoot, and animals which i tried to shoot, and animals which come here to kill our people, kill our children, destroy our buildings and destroy our life.

ukraine unequivocally rejects the russian deadline for its forces to stop fighting in the besieged port city of mariupol. the humanitarian situation has become increasingly does it. bodies have been buried in the street, and thousands remain trapped with little food, water or power. some do manage to escape and head for safety. where davis meets the families who made the 200 mile journey to the city of ypres. —— wyre davies. nearly everybody leaves mariupol, in cars packed with families, arrives here with absolutely nothing at all. it is to places like this they come, waiting patiently for the very basics. food, clothes and medicine. some will stay in dnipro. the others, it is the start of a long journey. as they escaped mariupol, someone told by russian soldiers to keep going, as this city too soon be under attack.

we were driving out under fire, says oleg. shells were exploding. they were bombing us, they were dead bodies everywhere. the un says there are six and a half million displaced people inside ukraine alone. this city and this community are doing their part to make that transition less traumatic. as russia puts more pressure on ukraine, the authorities in moscow are only too aware of the economic and financial pressure being felt by millions of russians. international sanctions are biting already. for example, russia�*s largest airport, here in moscow, todayit largest airport, here in moscow, today it furloughed 20% of its workers. last week it shut down to of its terminals, and took one runway out of service, and that is because passenger traffic has plunged because of sanctions. from

flights to food, or other food shortages, fearing that sanctions could push russia into recession, shoppers have been stocking up time on essentials. the result? sugar has sold out. it is very difficult to find sugar right now here in moscow, and a lot of the supermarkets are now limiting the sale of other essentials, like vegetable oil and flour and salt, although russia�*s deputy prime minister today said, no need for panic buying, we have all the sugar we need, all the buckwheat we need, for everybody. the other thing that is in short supply right now is diplomatic niceties. today the us ambassador in moscow was summoned to the russian foreign ministry, and he was told that comments by president biden, who recently described vladimir putin as a war criminal, were not appreciated, and those remarks had pushed bilateral relations to the verge of collapse.—

blocking off roads, guiding the russians into an ambush. a local shopkeeper, alexander, filmed himself on the front lines. "you little beauties", he shouts. "it was a colossal effort by the whole town", he says. "we used hunting rifles, people threw bricks, old women loaded sandbags. the russians didn�*t know where to look. i have never seen the community come together like that. as the invaders approached the bridge, the locals blew it up. at which point these british anti—tank weapons played a decisive role. the ukrainians destroyed almost every russian vehicle, denying them the chance to seize the town and rebuild the bridge. tank tracks still marks

certain for long.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and victoria fritz. our headlines today... a butcher who has to go — president biden issues a warning to vladimir putin. for god sake, this man cannot remain in power. but the white house insists he isn't calling for regime change. powerful explosions rock the western ukrainian city of lviv — the mayor says the russian air strikes were a message to the american president. foo fighters drummer taylor hawkins had traces of ten different drugs in his system when he died according columbian officials. lewis hamilton has it all to do after a dreadful qualifying in saudi arabia. the seven—time world champion will start the back in sixteenth place following his worst performance in over a decade. good morning. it is the first day of british summer time. still a lot of sunshine to come

today across the uk, but in eastern england, a lot more cloud will make for a chillierfeel, but if we look further ahead into this week, it will turn colderfor all of us. good morning. it is eight o'clock, the clocks have gone forward. it's sunday the 27th of march. our main story. the us presidentjoe biden has called vladimir putin a butcher and a dictator during a speech in warsaw and said he "cannot remain in power", although the white house later clarified that mr biden was not calling for regime change. this the comments came as ukraine's western city of lviv came under heavy rocket fire, despite russia saying it would now focus its military strategy on the east. graham satchell has the latest details. missiles roar. cruise missiles launched from the russian black sea fleet.

it's just 48 hours since russia said it would concentrate its firepower in eastern ukraine. this is lviv, the biggest city in the west. the russians hit an oil depot and a military plant, both in residential areas. five people were injured. lviv has become something of a safe haven in recent weeks. not anymore. translation: how do we defend ourselves? | we had a life before the war started, and now it is not a life. the attacks in lviv further evidence that what russia says and what it does are often not the same. translation: with today's strikes, the aggressors want to say hello - to president biden, who is currently in poland. lviv is only 70 kilometres from the polish border, and i think the world needs to understand that the threat is very, very serious.

the american president meeting refugees in poland. joe biden called the russian leader vladimir putin a butcher, and later, in a passionate speech in warsaw... don't even think about moving on one single inch of nato territory! we have a sacred obligation. he appeared to call for president putin to be removed. for god's sake, this man can't remain in power. the white house later clarified this was not a call for regime change in russia. in his nightly address, the ukrainian president repeated his demand for substantial military help. translation: what is | the price of our security? this is very, very specific. it is plain for ukraine. it is tanks, it is anti—ship weapons, that is what our partners have, just gathering dust.

after all, this is not only for the freedom of ukraine but the freedom of europe. an underground station in kharkiv, and musicians arrive. in normal times, this weekend would see the start of the annual music festival here. organisers determined to carry on. it is a moment of beauty and solace, as war continues to rage overhead. graham satchell, bbc news. symbolic pictures. our correspondentjonah fisher joins us now from lviv. good morning to you. 21i hours ago we were talking about russia perhaps focusing more on the east of the country, and only a couple of hours later there were explosions where

you are. what is your assessment quiz that's right. most people here spent the afternoon in bomb shelters as missiles struck to targets, a fuel depot in tim power facility. missiles struck to targets, a fuel depot in tim powerfacility. a feeling here in lviv that the war has really come to this part of ukraine overnight. as you mentioned yesterday, we were talking about the russian ministry of defence announcement that it will be focusing on eastern ukraine, trying to take territory around the former separatist republics near the border with russia. do these strikes fit in with russia. do these strikes fit in with that strategy? on the surface you would say not, because this was the far western part of ukraine. but what the russians would say is that they have struck specific targets, they have struck specific targets, the fuel depot under military

facility. it is part of what they would say their overall strategy is which is to degrade ukraine's military capabilities across the whole country while focusing on territorial gains in eastern ukraine. i would territorial gains in eastern ukraine. iwould put territorial gains in eastern ukraine. i would put the same caveat that we always do and what the russians have said, much of what they have told us both before this war and during this war has turned out to be simply not true, but it is worth bearing these announcements in mind as it does appear that at least publicly they want the russian publicly they want the russian public to believe that they have narrower goals in eastern ukraine, they're not attempting to take the whole country. they're not attempting to take the whole country-— they're not attempting to take the whole count .1 ., ., ., ~ , ., , whole country. jonah, thank you very much indeed- — whole country. jonah, thank you very much indeed. jonah _ whole country. jonah, thank you very much indeed. jonah fisher. - a long—awaited report into the failures of maternity care at an nhs trust will be published this week. senior midwife donna ockenden has been investigating thousands of cases in which mothers and babies may have been harmed at shrewsbury and telford hospital trust between 2000 and 2019. we can talk now to our social

affairs correspondent, michael buchanan. thank you so much forjoining us. i have been looking at the write—up of this in the sunday times, because they have got this story. 300 babies lost due to a fixation, essentially, our natural births over caesareans. a five—year investigation. how it taken this long? this a five-year investigation. how it taken this long?— taken this long? this has been a huael taken this long? this has been a hugely complex _ taken this long? this has been a hugely complex investigation, . taken this long? this has been a hugely complex investigation, it| hugely complex investigation, it started in 2017 when two families who had lost babies several years apart started working together in the belief that they had suffered and they were surely others who had. they then wrote to the health secretary at the time with a list of 23 names that they believed had been failed by the shrewsbury and telford trust, and that led to donna ockenden being set up to investigate these cases, but that has mushroomed since then, and as we await

publication of this final report, there is 1862 cases being looked at tjy there is 1862 cases being looked at by the review. there is 1862 cases being looked at by the review-_ there is 1862 cases being looked at by the review. there was an interim re ort in by the review. there was an interim report in december _ by the review. there was an interim report in december 2020 _ by the review. there was an interim report in december 2020 which - by the review. there was an interim report in december 2020 which had j report in december 2020 which had some findings, and seven immediate and essential actions that they said would be required across maternity services for the whole of england. how much have they helped and how much more is there to go? that interim report _ much more is there to go? that interim report led _ much more is there to go? that interim report led to _ much more is there to go? that interim report led to an - much more is there to go? trisgit interim report led to an investment of £95 million in maternity care by nhs england, and we had just a couple of days ago that there was going to be more investment into maternity care by nhs england. the head of the ockenden review, and the problem the whole system has is a lack of staff, particularly midwives at the moment, particularly across

maternity care, but looking at what is going to happen in shrewsbury. as many as 300 babies may have been harmed, and that number is speculation at this point, but it has always been clear that the number unfortunately would be very high. the sunday times was saying this reliance on natural birth is something that we looked at in last month's panorama and there was clearly a culture at that trust of being unwilling in many cases to allow women to have a cesarean section, to push for a natural birth, and that was a contributory factor. but it would be wrong to say that was the only reason. they often didn't investigate when things went wrong on the investigations were poon wrong on the investigations were poor, which meant that they never learn lessons when things went wrong. there was also a basic lack of competency, so repeatedly over

the years they failed to recognise the years they failed to recognise the heart rate monitor, and there was a problem which repeatedly seem to have cropped up which was a culture of bullying of clinicians and midwives, and also a fear of speaking up because they would be personal consequences to your career. so there would be a lot of different reasons why what happened in shrewsbury happened, and at least two decades worth of private grief will finally be made public. michael buchanan, thank _ will finally be made public. michael buchanan, thank you _ will finally be made public. michael buchanan, thank you very - will finally be made public. michael buchanan, thank you very much. i buchanan, thank you very much. absolutely shocking, some of the details involved in that story, and we will know more on wednesday and when that report is finally published. it is ten past eight. officials in colombia have released more details about the death of the foo fighters drummer taylor hawkins. they say ten substances including opioids and anti—depressants were found in his body after he died in the capital city of bogota. will batchelor reports.

raucous, riotous, and seemingly unstoppable. taylor hawkins should have been performing with the foo fighters this weekend. in place of that gig, in bogota, colombia, a candlelit tribute. devastated fans could only gather outside the hotel where the drummer, who was 50, was found dead. his bandmates of 25 years broke the news yesterday in a statement, calling it a tragic and untimely loss. now colombia's attorney general has released a statement, revealing the results of initial toxicology tests. he said hawkins had ten different substances in his body, including marijuana, antidepressants and opioids. the statement goes on to say that a forensic investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause of death. the foo fighters were supposed to play in brazil today,

part of a world tour which was due to come to the uk at the end ofjune. how or when they will continue without their talismanic drummer is a question which is yet to be answered. will batchelor, bbc news. and we're going to be talking tojo wiley a little bit later on, 8:45am. but the time now is 8.12 in the morning. schools in england will be asked to make sure their week is at least 32 and a half hours long by 2023. that's one of the measures being announced in the government's education white paper, which is published tomorrow. ministers say it will ensure fairness, but labour says it's "unambitious" after two years of what it calls "pandemic chaos". we're joined now by geoff barton, from the association of school and college leaders. good morning to you, mr barton. thank you is always for taking the time to talk to us on the programme

this morning. what is your assessment of what you are expecting? assessment of what you are “petting?— assessment of what you are exectina? ,., expecting? the white paper is a transfer of _ expecting? the white paper is a transfer of government - expecting? the white paper is a transfer of government to - expecting? the white paper is a transfer of government to say l expecting? the white paper is a i transfer of government to say here is where we are going next, here are the big ideas in education, and they're setting a target for what education will look like for 2030. big, bold ideas particularly on the back of the pandemic, and given that 90% of schools already hit this target of a longer school day, it is hard to see exactly what is being addressed, what is the problem that is being solved? when i started teaching many years ago, it was a large and successful school in leeds which had a continental day, we finished at 2:30pm, started at 8:30pm, and that was so that young people could do activity after school. what made them think that that wasn't the right thing to do for those young people, given something like this was recommended by the education recovery commissioner, kevin collins, and they rejected it.

commissioner, kevin collins, and they rejected it— commissioner, kevin collins, and they rejected it. kevin collins was recommended, _ they rejected it. kevin collins was recommended, 32.5 _ they rejected it. kevin collins was recommended, 32.5 hours - they rejected it. kevin collins was recommended, 32.5 hours is - they rejected it. kevin collins wasj recommended, 32.5 hours is 8.45 they rejected it. kevin collins was i recommended, 32.5 hours is 8.45 to recommended, 32.5 hours is 8.1i5 to 3.15 on a normal school day. kevin collins was talking about 35 hours, and you and your blog at the time said it at least showed a sense of ambition. so do you think school should be going even longer? it! should be going even longer? i�*c like to should be going even longer? if. like to see the evidence for whether quantity of education is more important than quality. if i was back being a head teacher and being rebuked because the school day wasn't long enough, the easy way of responding to that is to add a tonne another ten minutes a lunchtime or break time or two assembly, and i think what we would be saying to the secretary of state particularly after the pandemic and the woeful response to the recovery programme is, let's be more ambitious for young people. why don't we have a cross government policy to end poverty, for example, because it still is a national scandal if you're relying on schools to feed young people. and i think we can

look back and see this moment in time when something very ambitious for our young people including the kevin collins idea of every young person having access to sports, the arts, tuition after school, that that has been squandered by something which looks like it is focus on something which 90% of schools are already doing. the sunday times _ schools are already doing. the sunday times has headlined this this morning as 3500 schools told to teach a full day again, their words not mine. is there a perception that schools are maybe not doing that? i don't know, you would have to ask them. all i know is that when i was a deputy head here in suffolk, we started the school day late, 9.15, and we finish late at four o'clock because it was a catchment area of 220 square miles and some of those youngsters were sitting for up to an hour and a half on the school bus to come to school, and we had a long lunch time so we could pack in as much extracurricular activity then. i think this is down to governors and heads in the community is doing

the school day that they think is right, and i do think secretaries of state for education for focus on the bigger stuff around the curriculum about how we recruit teachers, retain teachers, about the over bloated gcse system that we have got at the moment. there are other, bigger things that i think a white paper could be doing. fine bigger things that i think a white paper could be doing.— bigger things that i think a white paper could be doing. one of the thins paper could be doing. one of the things that _ paper could be doing. one of the things that it _ paper could be doing. one of the things that it talks _ paper could be doing. one of the things that it talks possibly - paper could be doing. one of the| things that it talks possibly about the white paper talking about is individual tutoring for schools. saying that schools will be given the budget, it says, or the control of the budget, to do that, and that parents can then request extra tutoring, because obviously there is this pandemic gap that needs if possible to be made up, but i suppose parents reading that might think, there is a difference between requesting it in the school being able to give it, or being willing to give it. what do you think? i think that is exactly _ give it. what do you think? i think that is exactly right. _ give it. what do you think? i think that is exactly right. there - give it. what do you think? i think that is exactly right. there is - give it. what do you think? i think that is exactly right. there is a i that is exactly right. there is a rhetoric and reality of this, and what we have seen two years into the pandemic is we have had a very

complicated system of tutoring largely being outsourced to private companies, very difficult for schools to be able to access tutors. when they do access tutors, those tutors don't necessarily the curriculum or the children, and it has been very hard to get the right tutor to the right young person, so at least what we are hearing in the white paper is an acknowledgement that probably the people who know best who needs to tutoring, who the tutors could be just get on and manage that our school and college leaders, and it has taken two years for the penny to drop on that, but thatis for the penny to drop on that, but that is so much the better if that is what we get. but your point about the chance for every child to have a personal tutor, the chance for every child to have a personaltutor, i the chance for every child to have a personal tutor, i think we need to manage expectations and unless suddenly the government is going to give eye watering amounts to make that happen, and frankly there will be some young people who benefit significantly from tutoring and others who won't need in the same way, and the best people to judge that our school leaders. way, and the best people to 'udge that our school leadersh way, and the best people to 'udge that our school leaders. thank you very much — that our school leaders. thank you very much talking _ that our school leaders. thank you very much talking to _ that our school leaders. thank you very much talking to us, _ that our school leaders. thank you very much talking to us, geoff - very much talking to us, geoff barton of the general association of school and college. here's susan with a look

at this morning's weather. let's check in with susan and see what is going on at the moment. i understand west is best at the moment. ., , understand west is best at the moment. . , .., ., , moment. there are big contrast in the way we _ moment. there are big contrast in the way we are — moment. there are big contrast in the way we are starting _ moment. there are big contrast in the way we are starting the - moment. there are big contrast in the way we are starting the day i moment. there are big contrast in | the way we are starting the day out there at the moment. we have pulled in a bank of low cloud, so low that it is emerging as fog across some parts of eastern england at the moment. this is northamptonshire, very murky across much of east anglia, lincolnshire currently, and this chart gives you a good idea of the areas that are going to see some of that north sea cloud for the day. we have also seen it along the north sea coast early on for scotland, but already it is starting to shift offshore, and i think the coast of the of england will brighten on the whole is the day goes on, but lincolnshire is always going to go be tricky, and where the cloud is stubborn, temperatures will be capped, so much cooler than in recent days by a factor of 5 degrees from birmingham, and certainly parts of east anglia, six or 7 degrees on

yesterday, just 11 degrees in norwich, even cooler along the north sea coast. south—east of england with clearer skies overnight could see fog returning first thing monday, i think they will be fog mixed in with this low cloud across the central swathe of england. elsewhere, clearer spells and patchy frost to get the new week under way. her relatively quiet day to come on monday, some of the cloud across northern england can produce a few showers during the afternoon. more sunshine however again for the midlands and east anglia, and we will see temperatures recovering here. looking at temperatures of 16 or 17 away from the north sea coasts. monday it really is the last day we will see that uniform warmth across the uk, here is the big change for our week ahead, gone the warm atlantic air, we are plunged into arctic air, particularly by the time we get to wednesday, and that makes its way all the way south across the uk. tuesday, some showers

across the uk. tuesday, some showers across england and wales, temperatures still around average, 13 or m where we will see some sunny spells through the afternoon, and elsewhere we have slid down the scale, just 6 degrees for aberdeen on tuesday, showers coming into northern scotland, turning wintry particularly at higher levels, but at times we could see a little sleet or slush even across lower grand too. more showers across the uk on wednesday, colder air spreading south and here is the end of the week. we don't want to frighten you too much, but with the cold air around and with the potential of low pressure to come and meet that, they could be a spell of transient wintry weather further south for a time, so there are a lot of changes to come in contrast to this weekend. thank you, susan. petrol and diesel may be a few pence cheaper than it was last weekend but it remains extremely expensive — prompting more of us to consider alternative modes of transport. for some

commuters, that might mean electric scooters — which can be legally hired and ridden on the roads in some towns and cities. however, a bbc investigation has found that many privately owned e—scooters are being misused, and rigged to go much faster — as colin campbell reports. breaking the speed limit and the law, it is footage exposing just how fast banned e—scooters travel. it can go up to about 33 kilometres per hour, 19.5 mph. adding to the problem, mechanics who make them faster. the people who are willing to do that are placing other human beings in jeopardy. privately owned e—scooters are illegal to use in public but are widely sold online and in shops, most restricted to 15.5 mph. but we have discovered mechanics are offering to increase e—scooters' restricted speed limits to make them faster, when they know they are being used illegally. it is doing 15 at the moment. you can make it go 20, 20—plus. yes, 20—plus, definitely. i'm using it to commute to london.

it is not likely to get me arrested or cause any more problems, is it? nothing whatsoever. increasing the speed all round, as well. how much faster do you think you can make it go? you can 34 kilometres per hour. two tried to sell us much faster scooters. 62 mph. 62 mph? yes. well, what safety equipment would you need with that one? all you would need is kneepads, elbow pads and a helmet, - and we've got all of that. it is ok for me to commute to work on it, then? yes, it's ok to commute to work on it. _ 70 mph? yes. is anyone using this type of scooter to commute? yes. only two mechanics refused to increase the speed, warning the brakes may not work. i use it to commute to work. i have done it to my own scooter. but this mechanic repeatedly told us it would be safe —

no warning of risk to rider or safety impact of the scooter. it won't affect the scooter in any way, will it? as in? make it unsafe. no, you need to go much faster than that to make it unsafe. posing as a different customer, but again explaining we ride it on public roads. give it a spin. this is the mechanic who makes banned e—scooters go faster. they make it go up to about 33 kilometres per hour, 19.5 mph. we again clearly state we are using the e—scooter illegally. people say, it is not very safe, and i say, but you're safe on the road. at the invitation of the e—scooter mechanic, he told us to test—ride the scooter outside the shop. are there any safety issues? they have obviously restricted it for a reason. it has to be 15.5 mph if it's new, but generally most of these...

when you buy it, 15 mph, but simply sitting in there, 25 mph. what he has done is hack the e—scooters' software, removing a restriction put in place by the manufacturer, which means this e—scooter will now go faster. but how much faster? we took it to a track where it is legal to ride an e—scooter for a speed test. as the mechanic promised, it is faster — and accelerating. well, it may not look very fast, but it certainly feels very quick. as for the top speed, it's about 32, 33, 34, 35 kilometres per hour. that is almost 22 mph, and that feels too fast. i was suddenly winded. with more scooters speeding around, there has been a significant increase in injuries for riders and pedestrians. it was going very, very fast — very fast.

i could tell because the impact was so great — to actually knock me just completely off my feet. recorded: 33 kilometres per hour. we showed our research to kent's police and crime commissioner. i think it's absolutely disgraceful there are people out— there who would take what is already a dangerous contraption and make i it even more unsafe, _ that would put riders and the public at large at even more risk of harm. some already understand the dangers. if i'm going 15 mph, these are just good enough brakes to stop at the right time. anything more than that and you're a hazard to people. but others, like this man who didn't want to appear on camera, told us he had he restricted his scooter, enabling it to do more than 25 mph. i think it should be a criminal offence to tamper with the speed limits on e—scooters. in february, sussex police launched a crackdown, confiscating e—scooters,

causing a dip in trade for this mechanic. i'm here as of this month, but it picked up again. they've got over the thing they're getting over. in a statement, he told us he encourages all electric scooter riders to adhere to all laws applicable in their location and said he sold safety equipment in his shop so that riders who ride on private land, with the owner's consent, can ride safely. but tampering with e—scooters to make them faster is a trade that safety campaigners are calling to be banned. interesting insight from colin campbell there. here's some good news for movie fans. it's the oscars tonight. the 94th academy awards take place in hollywood. and here's some even better news. they're giving it the full red carpet treatment — after last year's ceremony was scaled back because of covid. so which films and actors will be in the headlines tomorrow morning? our us west coast correspondent sophie long has been taking a look

at some of the contenders. what you doing? getting mixed up with her. you are marvellous, rose. the intensely atmospheric western the power of the dog, starring benedict cumberbatch, goes into the evening as front—runner. it has made history, with jane campion the first woman ever to be nominated twice for best director. the feelgood family—friendly coda, "child of dead adults," could cause an upset when it comes to best picture. it has a predominantly deaf leading cast, along with emilia jones. there's so much love in the cast. we very much are the family we saw on screen, so we all supported each other. we're a tiny little film. we had no money and no time and were independent, so when they called our film's name out with all of those films that had money and had time, with amazing people involved, it was just such an amazing feeling.

are we going to have to leave belfast? i also in the battle for best picture is kenneth branagh's semiautobiographical love letter to belfast. i've got these two great tennis player... but there are ten in that coveted best picture category, including king richard, the biopic of tennis stars venus and serena williams s father. aunjanue ellis, who played their mother, is up for best actress. when people are applauding for me, they are applauding for her. people are saying this name more and more, and that has a lot to do with this film. i am so excited and i feel so affirmed by that. will smith is hotly tipped to take best actor for the lead role. roll sound! he is up againstjavier bardem for being the ricardos.

both he and his on—screen wife penelope cruz have been nominated for best actress. awkward. who will you be rooting for? my wife, the real one. i mean, both of them have done amazing work in different movies, different challenges, because all the characters are different. but i would say that i am especially proud of both of them, but i am particularly proud of penelope, with the fact of being nominated for a job done in spanish. another hot contender in the best actress category is jessica chastain for the eyes of tammy faye, an intimate look at the rise and fall of the televangelist. what's incredible about it is, as an actress, you spend so many years waiting for someone to give you a job, waiting for someone to tell you, like, 0k, you're worthy of this work. and then to have the performance be recognised, and in recognising my

performance you're recognising her, it's really emotional and meaningful to me. when people take to the stage this year to collect their golden statuettes, the acceptance speeches are likely to strike a more sombre tone. but the show will go on, in celebration of an art form that offers an avenue of escape, when arguably the world has never needed it more. sophie raworth is on bbc one at nine with her programme sunday morning. sophie, what have you got coming up? we are talking about covid today. so many people seem to have it at the moment. two years on from the first lockdown who would think we would still have it? i have been talking

to america's top doctor anthony fauciand to america's top doctor anthony fauci and the education secretary will be here to talk about the impact on children and the shadow chancellor will be talking about the budget. and prince william with his tour of the caribbean and his statement overnight. the editor in chief of the son will be talking about it and sir anthony beevor will be here to talk about vladimir putin after the statement by president biden seeing he should not remain in power. —— that said he should not remain in power. from the very start of the russian invasion of ukraine, vladimir putin has repeatedly said he is seeking to "de—nazify"

his neighbour. ros atkins has been looking at that claim and where it came from. vladimir putin has given several reasons for his invasion of ukraine. this is one of them. translation: we will be aiming at demilitarisation and denazification of ukraine. at a recent putin rally, a banner declared, for a world without nazism. putin has described a gang of drug addicts and neo—nazis who settled in kyiv and took the entire ukrainian people hostage. but russia's claims about nazis in ukraine are a mix of falsehoods and distortions. for a start, ukrainians are not being held hostage by nazis. president volodymyr zelensky, he isjewish, he has relatives who died in the holocaust and he is president because he won 73% of the vote in 2019. the main far right candidate reached 1.6% and that result is part of a broader shift. in the 2012 parliamentary election, the main far—right party won 10%, in 2014 it was 6% and in 2019 it was 2%.

no far—right groups have any formal political power in ukraine and based on polling and results, the far right is much less popular in ukraine than, for example, the leader of the far right in france, marine le pen. far—right groups, though, do exist in ukraine and russia's focus on them is not new. the word denazify, the idea that ukraine has been overrun by the nazis is something that russian propaganda has been talking about for eight years, since the first invasion of ukraine in _ 2014. ukraine wasn't and isn't being overrun by nazis but what happened eight years ago is relevant here. that is because in late 2013, under pressure from putin, ukraine s then president backed out of a co—operation deal with the eu. huge protests followed, as would a crackdown and in time he would flee to russia. this was a challenge to putin's ability to influence ukraine and he retaliated. first, russia annexed crimea and then it backed separatists in parts of eastern ukraine and this is where the story connects back to the far right,

because in 2014, the ukrainian military was much smaller than it is now, it was struggling and brigades of volunteers joined the fight against the separatists and some of them had far—right elements, the most high—profile was this one, the azov battalion. it was set up by this man, who has a history of racist and anti—semitic views and in 2014, the bbc�*s steve rosenberg spoke to him. this is the azov emblem being shown to steve there. it is a pagan symbol known as wolfsangel and a version of it was used by some ss units in nazi germany.

this man is an expert on ukrainian nationalism and he has looked at this, writing, the wolfsangel has far right connotations, but it is not considered a fascist symbol by the population in ukraine. that may be, but back in 2015, azov acknowledged that some of its members held nazi views and the spokesperson told usa today that only 20% of the group's members are nazis and he sought to make a distinction, using one fighter as an example. now, the degree of nazi sentiment in azov is impossible to verify but this 2015 quote is relevant because by this time azov had become part of the ukraine national guard and was under government command and there was one main reason for that. we have to be honest, they were pretty good fighters in 2015 and they are pretty good fighters in

mariupol and that is why they were taken on the books. and in 2014, with russia backing separatists, urgent military considerations trumped all others, ukraine was under attack and its then president called azov our best warriors. in 2015 he was asked by the bbc about the far right lengths of the group, his reply was blunt. translation: don't listen to russian propaganda. russia has used azov and propaganda for years and as we assess claims about the role in ukraine, context is vital. ukraine's armed forces totalled 250,000 plus 50,000 national guard and azov was part of the national guard with around 1,000 volunteer fighters. it is a tiny fraction of the ukrainian military. it is also not the same force as it was in 2014. translation: azov opened its recruitment to the whole of

ukrainian society and eventually this radical corps was drowned out by the mass of newcomers thatjoined the regiment because it was an elite unit. while the membership was evolving, the founder also left to start a new far right political party, a party that has failed to achieve any electoral success, but that azov regiment he left behind is high—profile and mainstream. this is the view of the ukrainian government. translation: the only nazi elements we have on the territory of ukraine now are the russian fascist army. in the last few days volodymyr zelensky announced that the commander of azov in mariupol will receive the highest national military award, but despite the acclaim and evolving membership, questions about neo—nazi links remain. injanuary, a journalist reported that he had seen a azov veteran wearing white supremacist and nazi symbols. there is no evidence that such sentiment is widespread. i was looking at the azov battalion social media activity and its website and all they talk about is fighting the russian forces and

there is very little in terms of extremist anti—migrant or xenophobic rhetoric. and so it is this azov regiment that is part of the ukrainian resistance and just as in 2014, its focus is the donbas region including the two breakaway republics and the city of mariupol. it is close to the sea of azov that gives the regiment its name and it is also where azov made its name back in 2014 where it successfully defended the city as mariupol is bombarded by the russians now alongside other ukrainian forces, it is trying to do so again. its presence in mariupol once more makes it central to the false narrative from russia. we remember the maternity hospital bombing in the city, afterwards the russian said this. translation: at the un security council, facts were proffered by our delegation saying that the maternity hospital had been taken over by azov battalion and other radicals. there is no evidence that azov were based there, no evidence it was

a military facility. then there is the attack on the mariupol theatre sheltering civilians. russia accuses azov of doing this and there is no evidence that this is true. so, while any azov volunteers having nazi sympathies is shocking, neo—nazis are not the threat that russia describes, but perhaps this is not about an actual threat and rather about something else entirely. the new york times writes about how the word nazi... putin is looking to the past to create motivation in the present. this is the historian shane o'rourke. what the regime is doing is using the memory of the war, the very deep feelings it arouses to justifies its actions notjust in ukraine but many

other places as well. just after the russian invasion 150 historians who study genocide in nazism in world war ii released a statement. in it they argue... the rhetoric is factually wrong. nazis do not hold ukraine hostage not launching attacks on ukrainians. there is no evidence to support this kind of claim. ukrainians hate these neo—nazi groups and they pray for russia and for somebody else to liberate ukrainian society from nazi groups. ukrainians do not need liberated from nazis, to their president this idea is pure fiction. translation: it is already the 25th

i day of the russian military trying i in vain to find nazis - from whom they allegedly want to defend our people. just as they are trying i in vain to find ukrainians who will greet them with flowers. that search will continue to be in vain because while the evolution of the azov regiment deserve scrutiny, neo—nazis and the far right do not play the role in ukraine that russia falsely describes. they didn't in 2014 and they do not now. now sport with gavin. lewis hamilton's finding the going tough at the start of the formula one season — he'll be back in 16th for the saudi arabian grand prix later. it's after his worst performance in more than ten years — qualifying not going to plan for him and his team injeddah. there was a delay to proceedings following a spectacular crash

involving mick schumacher, who'll miss the race this evening. he was airlifted to hospital, but is doing 0k. what a turnaround it's been for england at the women's cricket world cup. the defending champions are through to the semifinals, easing past bangladesh this morning. batter sophia dunkley made 67 their opponents never really in contention, england winning by 100 runs in the end. they're into the final four and will face south africa in the semifinal on tuesday. another woeful batting display means england's men are on the verge of defeat in the third and deciding test against west indies. england started poorly in the field, and windies' joshua da silva scored an unbeaten century as his side built up a lead of 93. england's batting then fell apart, with captainjoe root one of six players dismissed

for single figures. alex lees battled to 31 but his dismissal and another late wicket means england lead byjust ten runs with only two wickets remaining heading into day four. it all gets going again at two this afternoon. england continued their world cup preparations with a 2—1 friendly win over switzerland at wembley. there was a moment for captain harry kane to celebrate, too. england struggled to assert themselves against the swiss, who went ahead through bree embolo after 20 minutes. luke shaw made it 1—1, before harry kane equalled sir bobby charlton's total of 49 goals for england. wayne rooney holds the record with 53. christian eriksen has made a remarkable return to international football, scoring with his first touch of the ball in denmark's 4—2 friendly defeat to the netherlands. the 30—year—old midfielder, who suffered a cardiac arrest during euro 2020, came on as a substitute to score

denmark's second goal. injanuary eriksen signed a contract to play for brentford until the end of the season. fingers crossed for him he can go on and rich vein of form he is in and play at the world cup later this year. he looks like he has still got it, he's only 30 so plenty left ahead of him, fingers crossed. every so often, the world of music loses someone who seemed universally and genuinely loved, respected and admired by both fans and fellow musicians. foo fighters drummer taylor hawkins, who died in colombia on friday night, fits that bill. before we speak to two people who knew taylor, let's have a reminder of what made him so special. # i've got another confession to make # i'm yourfool # everyone's got their chains to break # holding you...

it must take a toll on your body but certainly looks very healthy last time i saw him. it really does take it out of you. my son was a huge fan of taylor hawkins. he is a drummer and i was talking to him yesterday. he was so upset, devastated, and i was trying to comfort him and he said i guess he was my drummer. and thatis said i guess he was my drummer. and that is what taylor hawkins is and has been to so many people. he is the ultimate drummerfor has been to so many people. he is the ultimate drummer for the generation, he mean so much to so many people and he will have inspired so many drummers and so many musicians to go forward into the future and perform and be in their own rock bands. i the future and perform and be in their own rock bands.— the future and perform and be in their own rock bands. i was watching a lovely interview _ their own rock bands. i was watching a lovely interview with _ their own rock bands. i was watching a lovely interview with steve - a lovely interview with steve lamarck of six music —— lamacq and almost talking about impostor

the winner of the apprentice — harpreet kaur — was on the sofa at the time starting an interview about her success. so we came back once we'd had the all—clear to come back in — i sat down with harpreet. take a look. so, harpreet, lord sugar picks you. what's that moment like? unbelievable. i mean, i have a lot of respect for lord sugar. you know, he's self—made. he's worked obviously so hard throughout his entire life and he has so much experience and knowledge. so the fact that he's picked me and believes in me to invest in. because you've been a fan of the show. growing up, you watch most of the series, i think. did you have an idea of how to play it or did you just go in and hope for the best? honestly, i went into the process quite naive, ithought, 0k, this is going to be easy, a doddle, we're going to do some fun tasks and it's all going to be fine. and when you get that, it's really, really exhausting. the tasks are much harder than you think. and you're also in an environment where everybody wants to win.

so everyone has different personalities, different characters. for me, in the end, i think i was 100% myself. i didn't really play a strategy and looking back and watching myself and thinking, wow, sometimes i don't realise how direct i am, but that's obviously what's got me to the end, and i actually believe not having that strategy and just going for it and focusing and cracking on with the task is what got me to the end by not playing a mind game because i want lord sugar to invest in me 100% the way i am and what i would do in real life, not on a tv show. he's invested in you and your desserts business. these look absolutely fantastic. thank you. did you struggle with any of the big characters in there because everybody in there, just by even applying for the show

obviously believes in themselves? yes. we're all very confident. i'm going to be honest. i'm quite a tough cookie, to be honest. so ifind it easy to be around big characters. i'm quite a big character myself, but i really got on with the other candidates. you know, we have so much respect for each other because yes, we're in a competition, but to get through each week you have to play as a team player. yeah, you might have to point out some sort of things in the boardroom, butjust like in real life, you can't get through situations or be successful in business unless you've got a good team and a good support around you. so we really got on. we used to have lots of fun back at the house. it was genuinely one of the most amazing experiences of my life. these are my personal creations. i've got all sorts and we've got the cookie cups and i've been working hard in the background to make because i've made them on the show. i think you learn things as you go along in business and because we're so invested we're very, very hands on. and it's only since being on the apprentice that i've had to really

take a step back, allow and give my team some responsibility so that i can really focus on growing the business. and in the programme, it made it look as though lord sugar was really worried about the fact that you were in business with your sister and he was going to become a third party effectively. yes. was he worried about that genuinely, or do you think he was more relaxed about it? i mean, of course, if you're investing in anything, you need to understand the company structure and who is in it. but i made lord sugar aware that, look, we've got the company to where it is today, which is a fantastic proposal for you and that has been with my sister. so, yeah, we need to obviously discuss and come up with a private arrangement, but my sister is definitely staying within the business. she'll remain as a director and we can't wait for the for the three of us as a powerhouse team to really see. and it's really interesting that you say you only found out recently, so you filmed it all and then you all had to go away. you didn't know who'd won. and then several months later, you come down and you come back and you sit in the boardroom.

yeah. so obviously there's some, some tv magic there in terms of how it's filmed, but absolutely, we've filmed it a while ago and i've almost been in limbo a little bit as to am i going to get this investment or not? but like i say, my business is my absolute passion. i love the products i've created. you're going to have to try some and let me know what you think. well, i'm sure everybody at home has got their tummies
