would have been part of last year's funeral. but covid meant restrictions, with just 30 guests, no singing from the congregation and that image of an isolated, masked queen. that sense of loneliness is so desolate actually in the feeling. for the country and the whole commonwealth to be able to give thanks for this amazing marriage for two people who devoted themselves to each other and then to duty and service of others, a chance to say thank you, i think would be wonderful and healing as well at the same time. the thanksgiving service here for prince philip will be a celebration of his contribution to public life. westminster abbey will be full of family, friends and those organisations he worked so closely with over the years. the service includes many personal touches. the congregation will sing the hymn, guide me 0 thou great redeemer, as requested by prince philip.

clergy from the royal estates will offer prayers to reflect his active role in managing the estates, and flowers will include sea holly to mark his naval career and lifelong affection for the sea. as d of e ambassadors, we use our voice. also playing a key role today will be the duke of edinburgh's award scheme, created to empower young people, many of whom will be at the abbey to show their appreciation. he was incredibly active in the award. he attended all of our gold award presentations, so he would... and that's one of the things i understand that he really enjoyed. he loved meeting young people and hearing about their stories and what they'd got up to on the award. and i thinkjust as a man, he was just a real champion for the power and potential of young people. the public servant, the naval commander and the family man — all aspects of prince philip's life will be remembered today.

daniella relph, bbc news, westminster abbey. daniela's at westminster abbey for us this morning, where that service of thanksgiving will take place later. i guess the main question will be, is the queen likely to attend? buckingham palace is using its words very carefully. they say they hope she will be here. we should know before the end of the programme whether she will attend. she has these mobility issues at the moment, it is hard for her to walk and move around. behind—the—scenes everything is being done to get the queen here today. royalstaff is being done to get the queen here today. royal staff will have looked at that journey from windsor castle to hear, to make it as comfortable as possible for her. there are a number of ways into westminster

abbey which mean the queen here today. royalstaff abbey which mean the queen here today. royal staff will have looked at that journey from windsor castle to hear, to make it as comfortable as possible for her. there are a number of ways into westminster abbey which minda walked to her seat shorter. making it easierfor the queen to sit through. it is hoped she would be here with the rest of her family, she would be here with the rest of herfamily, and that she would be here with the rest of her family, and that will include prince andrew. he is here today because it is classed as a family occasion and not a working royal engagement, which he would not be part of. engagement, which he would not be art of. �* , ., ., part of. because of covid restrictions, _ part of. because of covid restrictions, the - part of. because of covid restrictions, the funerall part of. because of covid i restrictions, the funeral was part of. because of covid - restrictions, the funeral was not what he had planned. how much will today be more a reflection of the man himself?— today be more a reflection of the man himself? , . ., , man himself? very much so. so many elements in — man himself? very much so. so many elements in the _ man himself? very much so. so many elements in the senate _ man himself? very much so. so many elements in the senate today - man himself? very much so. so many elements in the senate today will - elements in the senate today will have been designed by the duke of edinburgh. the detail was overseen by the queen in recent months. covid restrictions mean he did not get ascend of his family or people who worked with him wanted. he was a

public servant, a family man, a husband. that is why there is to much emphasis on the queen hopefully being able to attend today. the thanksgiving service will be broadcast on bbc one from 10:30am. and you can also watch it back on the iplayer. overnight, the actor, will smith, has issued a full apology to the comedian chris rock, for slapping him during the oscars ceremony. the on—stage violence — prompted by a joke about the star's wife — was seen live by millions of people around the world. our correspondent, david willis, joins us now from los angeles. so david, a quite lengthy statement on social media from will smith overnight? do you want to talk us through it and what it might mean now? this was and what it might mean now? this was a stronuer and what it might mean now? this was a stronger and — and what it might mean now? this was a stronger and wider _ and what it might mean now? this was a stronger and wider apology _ and what it might mean now? this was a stronger and wider apology than - a stronger and wider apology than will smith gave when he picked up the best actor oscar. on that

occasion he made no mention of the course of chris rock. in this particular statement he directed many of his comments directly to the comedian and called his own action is wrong and out of line. he said violence in all its forms is poisonous and destructive. he went on to characterise his own actions on to characterise his own actions on that occasion as unacceptable and inexcusable. the academy has said it will review will smith's behaviour and possibly take some sort of action against him but its options are very limited. it can censure, expel a member. the number of members who had been expelled over the years is very small, harvey weinstein for example, who has been convicted of crimes. chris rock has made it very clear he does not intend to press charges in this particular case. there is lots of pressure on the academy to do something are not shown leniency

towards one of its biggest stars. there is a growing feeling here in hollywood that this was such a very public, violent assault that it would be wrong not to take some sort of action against will smith. thank ou for the of action against will smith. thank you for the update. _ scotland yard is preparing to issue its first fines, as part of the inquiry into parties held at downing street while covid restrictions were in place. sources at westminster suggest at least 15 fixed—penalty notices will be handed out. let's get the latest on this now from our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. adam, what do we know about when these fines could be issued and who might be getting one? very little detail at the moment. this is all based on speculation and expectation in whitehall and government departments and number 10 downing street, where the focus of the metropolitan police investigation has been for the last two months. the met police are

looking at 12 different parties over eight different days in 2020 and 2021 when the country was under various degrees of lockdown. we think the first products of that investigation will either bid this morning, later today or certainly in the next you days and it will be the first batch of fines. the number thatis first batch of fines. the number that is being talked about is 15. this will be 15 individuals who will get find for breaking the rules. we do not know who the individuals are. there is guesswork about whether it is real open and shut cases where people themselves admitted they broke the rules or it was super clear straightaway the rules had been broken and there were no grey areas and the police could reach a decision very quickly. not clear whether one of the 15 could be the prime minister or a member of his family or a member of his very inner circle. we will have to wait and see. we do not know if we will find

the names out of the people because there are all sorts of data protection and privacy issues around it. it is a significant moment in this story. it is back in the headlines and we are all talking about it so people can remind themselves of their opinions, about themselves of their opinions, about the rule makers potentially breaking the rule makers potentially breaking the rules people worth following. so far what we have had is the verdict of sue gray, the senior civil servant who looked at it from the civil service point of view. the police saying had been broken takes it to another level. it will revive speculation and discussion amongst tory mps about the role of boris johnson in this. people were starting to send letters of no confidence in him to the conservative party which could trigger a contest as to whether he carries on as prime minister or not. because the story has died down and a situation in ukraine seem so dangerous, some people started to

take the letters back. but will that situation be reversed with the story backin situation be reversed with the story back in the headlines? we will have to wait and see. the back in the headlines? we will have to wait and see.— to wait and see. the situation in ukraine stays — to wait and see. the situation in ukraine stays in _ to wait and see. the situation in ukraine stays in the _ to wait and see. the situation in ukraine stays in the headlines. | ukraine and russia will hold face—to—face peace talks today for the first time in more than a fortnight, with the ukrainian side pushing for a ceasefire. delegations from both countries are meeting in istanbul, although hopes of a breakthrough remain low. president zelensky has said he's willing to discuss a formal neutral status for ukraine as part of any deal. tomos morgan reports. a safe landing, hoping to secure a safer future. ukrainian delegates arriving in istanbul, gearing up for the latest round of peace talks, the first face—to—face in weeks. a ceasefire is their aim, although there is significant doubt over whether this is likely. translation: the minimum programme is first of all humanitarian questions. and the maximum programme

is ceasefire and reaching a lasting agreement on it. the last time negotiations were held, there was no compromise. there is also another cause for concern. three of those involved in early discussions, which included russian billionaire roman abramovich, say they suffered suspected poisoning, a potentially lethal and serious claim. these people appeared to have been poisoned with something pretty severe. the only other sort of place where organic phosphates would come from would be pesticides, and that seems unrealistic in this scenario. until we have detailed medical records, one has to assume they have been poisoned and possibly with a nerve agent. in kyiv, some normality ensues. some cafes have reopened, some pause in the fight. in the strategic port town of mariupol,

near the border with the enemy, there is no such break. bombing has show no sign of letting up, it's a city in ruin. according to president zelensky, the scene of a war crime. along the black sea near the city of odesa in the south—west and there are signs that local troops are overcoming their foe, as russian tanks lie in ruin. this has led to resistance in nearby kherson, a city currently held by putin's forces. russia will unlikely back down before they have finished taking the east of ukraine. so a month into this conflict, there is hope that scepticism that this latest round of talks will lead to any resolution or respite in this war. tomos morgan, bbc news. our middle east correspondent tom bateman is istanbul, where the talks will take place.

sad to say hopes are not especially high. sad to say hopes are not especially hiuh. �* , sad to say hopes are not especially hi h, �* , , . high. let's start with the positives- _ high. let's start with the positives. these - high. let's start with the positives. these are - high. let's start with the positives. these are the | high. let's start with the - positives. these are the first face—to—face talks in more than a couple of weeks. there is something of a rushed field to this, bringing a little bit of diplomatic momentum to what is happening. the talks were set up after a phone call between the turkish president. this is his working palace here. the delegation is due to arrive in the next few minutes. it was a very late arrival for them last night. the russian delegation arriving late and the ukrainian team later in the night. we expect them to arrive here soon. talks getting under way in the next few hours. but expectations and hopes are really not high for any

outcome from these talks. we had president zelensky of ukraine talking over the weekend about the position of the ukrainians, he is prepared to make some movement about potential neutrality, a declaration of neutrality for ukraine. the key issue remains around territory. he said there will be no concessions over territory, said there will be no concessions overterritory, he said there will be no concessions over territory, he is committed to ukraine's territorial integrity. that leaves a gulf between his and russian positions. they had talked repeatedly about the need to remain in those two regions, the donbas in the east of ukraine. summing up the mood, key ukrainian official saying they had few expectations on any breakthrough of the major issues. thank you very much.

let's speak now to our correspondent, jonah fisher, who is in the western ukrainian city of lviv. jonah, update us on how things are looking where you are this morning. pretty similar to the way it has slipped in the last few weeks in terms of the position on the ground. we did have an air raid here overnight in lviv. there was an attack on a fuel depot. russia seems to be trying to hit logistics, particularly in the western part of ukraine, to try to damage support given to the ukrainian military. in terms of on the ground, very similar. russia effectively bogged down around the major cities. there has been some limited progress back from the ukrainians. they are claiming to have taken some territory to the north of kyiv, possibly pushing the russians back further making it harder to shell

the city. further making it harder to shell the ci . ~ ., ., further making it harder to shell theci .~ . ., ., the city. what are your prospects for the peace _ the city. what are your prospects for the peace talks _ the city. what are your prospects for the peace talks today? - the city. what are your prospects for the peace talks today? no - the city. what are your prospects| for the peace talks today? no one the city. what are your prospects i for the peace talks today? no one is caettin for the peace talks today? no one is getting carried _ for the peace talks today? no one is getting carried away. _ for the peace talks today? no one is getting carried away. the _ for the peace talks today? no one is getting carried away. the harsh - getting carried away. the harsh reality about these talks is that russia started this will and it will be russia that decides when it ends. there are two ways it can come about. it can accept the costs are too high and is not making any progress and effectively sign a ceasefire on the basis of the positions on the ground as it is now or, as is more likely, russia still feels it can take more territory and can do more to try to achieve a win, basically have something it can sell to the russian people as having been worth it in terms of this war. what we may see is a greater effort in eastern ukraine to take territory around the former separatist states, to enlarge the russian —controlled area. while that ambition remains, it is very hard to see president

putin agreeing to stop the fighting. he will want something on the ground he can point at and say, this is why we went to war and we won that war. thank you very much. each of the almost four million refugees, who have fled ukraine so far, has their own story. the threads of their past lives, their escape routes and their current places of shelter all interwoven. our correspondent nick thorpe sent this report from north—east romania, about iryna, herfamily, and the monastery which has taken them in. sihastria. the name of the monastery means a place of retreat — of prayer and meditation — away from the turmoil of the world. and that's what it means now for iryna. her mother—in—law, natalia, her best friend, ira, and their five children.

iryna drove them all here in her old ford transit from kharkiv in eastern ukraine. my lovely car, my lovely van. i'm so glad that here i have a part of home, a part of my husband. sometimes i... i want to sit in there just to smell... just to smell my husband, just to smell my house. these glasses belong to him. that's. .. maybe it's funny. i have his gum here, a part of apple. no—one must take it. her husband, like ira's husband, stayed behind in kharkiv, a city

under russian siege, delivering fuel. here at the monastery, the families have been given a house and told they can stay as long as they wish. last sunday, when i was praying at the church, i even prayed for putin. i wished him to become wiser. i wished him stop killing our children in ukraine. only here at the monastery, i began to feel some sympathy to russian troops. and i stop hating them. only yesterday i saw some flowers in the yard. and i was so surprised because i didn't see them before. it's impossible even to breathe

this beautiful mountain air. when they fled ukraine, they thought they might be home for easter. now their best hope is by summer. nick thorpe, bbc news, sihastria monastery, romania. there are so many stories like that, hugely personal stories of people who have had to leave and find somewhere new and settle. once they settle, how long are they there for. it's 6:21am. now the weather with matt. marches on its way back through this week. it is a bit murky out there this morning. unlike yesterday the greater chance of a few more showers across the country, just about

anywhere can pick up. they are already around in the southern counties of england. pushing as far north as the south midlands. in the south —— north we had this weather front. the best of sunshine today across some of the sheltered western areas, staying murky in the east and cooler than yesterday. we saw temperatures up to 18. ia the high in the west. showers in parts of southern england, the channel islands. here we are going to see some sunshine at times. through central scotland and north we have bigger cloud with outbreaks of rain, turning to snow on the northern edge. the cold air in orkney and shetland as we see the day out. the cold wind will be pushing south. there is the weather front. snow

into the pennines. you can see the dividing temperatures. cold air in place in scotland. —5 as we start the day. the cold air will be working its way south on wednesday and thursday. single figure highs for all. yes, there will be snow in places, even as far south as southern england. we will bring you the latest on that in half—an—hour. we will make sure we are there. thank you very much indeed. let's have a look at today's papers, and three main stories dominate the front pages. the telegraph leads on the news that police will begin to issue the first set of "partygate" fines to downing street staff today — with more to follow. we were talking to our correspondent about that a moment ago. it also features an image of the moment will smith attacked

chris rock on stage at the oscars, after the comedian made a joke about the actor's wife. that picture is everywhere, isn't it? on the front page of all of them. the daily mirror reports on the suspected poisoning of the chelsea owner roman abramovich as he took part in ukraine—russia peace talks. still trying to understand exactly what has gone on. the sun also leads on the abramovich story. and the paperjoins the majority of front pages, with a picture of the moment that overshadowed the oscars yesterday. meanwhile the guardian leads on a report about the resumption of ukraine peace talks amid the poisoning allegations. shall we have a look at what is inside the papers? do you want to go first? after the full monty, the fuller monty. the guys are reforming their dance treatment may be looking

older, orwiser. their dance treatment may be looking older, or wiser. they look great! and a part series. what is it chil? the fuller monty. that is not kind. a reflection of the years that had passed. i do not know if they are still stripping or what they are doing. another picture you selected of someone with a fuller figure. you might be surprised by this. this will be reassuring for us all this morning. joe wicks, how he knew him during lockdown. he claims he has been eating nothing but biscuits... a biscuit and a piece of bacon. he says he is feeling a bit more relaxed. i thought that was a photo taken on the same day with him breathing in. the full and after. he looks great in both, doesn't he?

talking of the oscars, that picture is everywhere, on the front page of every paper. can we have a moment for kenneth branagh? 32 years after his first oscar nomination, and at the eighth time of asking, he finally took home his very first oscar last night at the age of 61 for his film, belfast, which is basically about his childhood. he is not used to being upstaged but the will smith thing dominated. i kind of missed it yesterday but did you lady gaga, liza minnelli moment. it was gorgeous. lady gaga said, i got you and liza minnelli said, i know. brilliant. that is what we need to remember, isn't it? time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye.

ukrainian refugees have started arriving in london, afterfleeing from the russian invasion. alla, a 27—year—old it worker, is staying in a hotel, and told bbc london about leaving her home when war began. i was trying to stay in my flat, and i couldn't stay will because i was so afraid. it was really so scared. even when you hear some noise, you were like afraid. now we are in uk, we know that we're safe. we really appreciate so much. so many people help. today marks a year since the creation of the national covid memorial wall in central london. bereaved families from across the country will travel to the wall on the albert embankment, which is thought to be painted with over 100,000 hearts and dedications to loved ones. a petition will also be submitted to downing street, calling for it to remain a permanent memorial.

a court has issued a warrant for two brothers, aged 12 and i3, accused of burgling some of london's top hotels, including claridge's and the four seasons. the younger sibling is also accused of burgling the television centre in white city, and is said to have targeted other offices within the complex. the boys are too young to be publicly named. more people are visiting london's west end, but numbers are not yet back to pre—pandemic levels. it's just over a month since all covid restrictions were lifted, but the latest data from new west end company suggests footfall is still i6% below march 2019 levels. let's take a look at the tubes. there's a minor delays on the metropolitan line, and the ongoing part closure on the northern line for major work. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. we're going to notice a change in the weather over the next few days. it's not going to feel quite so warm, and we haven't got too

much sunshine either. quite a misty start. temperatures mid—single figures first thing. some outbreaks of rain. it is going to say stay largely grey through the day. the rain perhaps clearing further south through the afternoon, but temperatures just i! celsius. we are going to feel that difference. now overnight tonight, we still could get some parts of rain, largely cloudy, a few breaks in the cloud. the minimum temperature, low single figures, down to three celsius. now for wednesday, you can see the colder air really starts to push south, coming in from the north—east. so it is going to feel chillier through the course of wednesday. again, quite a lot of cloud. and feeding in from the north—east, some further showers. now temperatures tomorrow managing somewhere between seven and 10 celsius. it's overnight wednesday and into thursday where that front moves south. the back edge of it could return a little bit wintry, where it runs into that colder air, so we're looking at sleet, snow showers potentially, overnight into thursday. it shouldn't last for too long.

still a few wintry showers for thursday. temperatures feeling quite cold. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now though it's back to sally and john. bye for now. good morning. john is here with the sort. we good morning. john is here with the sport- we are _ good morning. john is here with the sport. we are all— good morning. john is here with the sport. we are all going _ good morning. john is here with the sport. we are all going to _ good morning. john is here with the sport. we are all going to be - good morning. john is here with the sport. we are all going to be north | sport. we are all going to be north macedonia fans, could we? we are indeed. we love a story of an underdog. i have one for you this morning. it did —— does come in the shape of north macedonia. good morning. the tiny european country making big waves in international football. north macedonia have been churning out some eye—catching results. they shocked european champions italy a few days ago, to put them within 90 minutes of the world cup. what an upset. a nation ranked 67th in the world, with a population ofjust two million, knocking out the european champions, ranked sixth in the world with a population of almost

30 times that. can they beat country ranked in the top ten and keep ronaldo from what would surely be his last world cup? macedonia has never made the world cup before now, and portugal is a regular participant at this major tournament. so, imagine how it would be for this crop of players, for this squad to be the first ever to qualify for the world cup as macedonians. it would mean the world to them, and maybe... i mean, of course portugal is better on quality, but in terms of motivation i don't think they will have the edge. so many brilliant moments. will this be another one? portugal star cristiano ronaldo says he's confident ahead of the game. the manchester united player says he's certain of victory in front of a passionate home crowd. portugal were comfortable 3—1 victors over turkey

in the last four stage. translation: | would like all- in the stadium to sing the national anthem without music being played, just to see the grab, the energy, the positivism. i appeal that we can do this, because i'm sure if the portuguese people support us as they did against turkey last week, i'm sure we'll win the match. for england, harry kane the man of the moment. england already have their world cup spot secure. they face ivory coast in a friendly. and no, john terry hasn't replaced gareth southgate. the former england captain was a guest at training yesterday. harry kane scored against switzerland, and is now level with sir bobby charlton on a9 england goals. wayne rooney the only player ahead of him on 53. but will he get a chance to add to that tally tonight? if he had his way he'd play 90 minutes of every fixture, which is a brilliant quality

to have, because if your captain wants to be at every camp and play every minute of every game, that sets the tone for everything. the fact is we've got a good squad. we want to keep people involved and give people opportunities. we need to see certain things across the week, to see how people can play at the level. scotland could have been playing for a spot at the world cup later. istead they're facing austria in a friendly, with their world cup play—off semi final with ukraine pushed back because of the conflict in the war torn country. a chance to prepare for bigger challenges. it doesn't have much riding on it, except that you're playing for your country and you want to win. we want to continue the run that we're on, and obviously the key games are still in front of us. the competitive matches injune are going to be massive for the country and everybody wants to be involved, which is great. northern ireland play hungary, while wales take on the czech republic.

the likes of gareth bale and aaron ramsey are expected to be rested. it's going to be an emotional evening for christian eriksen tonight, when he plays at copenhagen's parken stadium for the first time since suffering a cardiac arrest there during last year's euros. the brentford midfielder will captain denmark against serbia in a friendly in the danish capital. he scored with his first touch after coming on as a substitute for denmark in the defeat to the netherlands on saturday. it's something that you can't prepare. i think it's just going to be one of the moments. the reception in holland obviously was very big. and my expectation, of course, it's going to be even bigger here. this is the place where it happened and people will see it, then afterwards people will be talking about it, that everything is back to normal. they're going to have a new memory. yeah, no, it's going to be special. of course it's going to be special,

but i'm looking forward to it. what a reception christian eriksen is going to get. $5 what a reception christian eriksen is going to get-— what a reception christian eriksen is going to get. as captain. and he seems calmer— is going to get. as captain. and he seems calmer than _ is going to get. as captain. and he seems calmer than anybody - is going to get. as captain. and he seems calmer than anybody else. l is going to get. as captain. and he i seems calmer than anybody else. he said he wanted to get back playing for his country. he obviously wants to make it to the world cup. there is a very strong chance. less to make it to the world cup. there is a very strong chance.— to make it to the world cup. there is a very strong chance. less than a ear is a very strong chance. less than a year since — is a very strong chance. less than a year since that _ is a very strong chance. less than a year since that moment. _ is a very strong chance. less than a i year since that moment. unbelievable sto . story. thank you. the trial begins in america today, of an alleged member of the isis cell group dubbed the beatles, who were involved in kidnappings in iraq and syria. el shafee elsheikh is said to have been one of four isis militants who travelled to syria from london. he's accused of being involved in the murders of four american hostages, one of whom was the journalist james foley. we will speak to james's mum in a

exactly like you get in the forecourt but it is dyed red and sold on to registered users at a lower rate of tax. the idea is to stimulate those businesses, give them a subsidy. it's essentially the same as the diesel you buy at the forecourt, but it's dyed red and can only be bought from registered sellers for approved uses. that's because the government charges less tax on red diesel — via a rebate — making it a lot cheaper than normal fuel. as a result, it's used in a lot of commercial kit. but the government says red diesel is responsible for ia million tonnes of emissions a year, which it wants to reduce to help meet its net zero 2050 target. fuel duty for red diesel isjust 10p per litre, compared to standard diesel at 53p per litre. from friday, 1st of april, companies will have to pay full fuel duty, unless they�* re exempt. there are exemptions for business in agriculture, horticulture, fish farming and forestry, as well as some others, but red diesel is only approved for specific uses in those sectors. some businesses have said they're

looking at seeing their fuel bill, which has already been rising, double overnight. let's speak to lee gansler, the chief executive of buckhurst plant hire, where we are this morning. good morning. can you foresee how much more expensive diesel is about to become for you?— to become for you? yeah. at current levels it is going _ to become for you? yeah. at current levels it is going to _ to become for you? yeah. at current levels it is going to be _ to become for you? yeah. at current levels it is going to be three - to become for you? yeah. at current levels it is going to be three times i levels it is going to be three times the price _ levels it is going to be three times the price we are paying. around £330,000 a year going forward. obviously— £330,000 a year going forward. obviously there is a knock—on effect for clients. what are they saying? they are worried. they are pricing 'obs they are worried. they are pricing jobs and _ they are worried. they are pricing jobs and they are worried they won't be able _ jobs and they are worried they won't be able to— jobs and they are worried they won't be able to keep on pricing. it will postjobs— be able to keep on pricing. it will postjobs into a loss be able to keep on pricing. it will post jobs into a loss for them. be able to keep on pricing. it will postjobs into a loss for them. you post “obs into a loss for them. you sa post jobs into a loss for them. you sa theft post jobs into a loss for them. you say theft is — post jobs into a loss for them. you say theft is going _ postjobs into a loss for them. gm. say theft is going to become a massive issue?— say theft is going to become a massive issue? , , , , massive issue? yes, because people can 'ust massive issue? yes, because people canjust steal— massive issue? yes, because people can just steal white _ massive issue? yes, because people can just steal white diesel _ massive issue? yes, because people can just steal white diesel from i massive issue? yes, because people can just steal white diesel from a i canjust steal white diesel from a site _ can just steal white diesel from a site. ,., ., , site. the potential theft is huge. for government _ site. the potential theft is huge. for government told _ site. the potential theft is huge. for government told us - site. the potential theft is huge. for government told us this i site. the potential theft is huge. i for government told us this though. they said this will encourage users of polluting fuels to improve energy efficiency, invest in cleaner

they have also said to businesses, we give you a whole year to prepare for this, so it is incumbent on you to be prepared for the first. the national federation of builders say delaying by a year would save a whole wave of businesses from going bust. the civil engineers association estimates £500 million of extra money will have to be spent on fuel just of extra money will have to be spent on fueljust to get over this price hike. it is very difficult. once again we are seeing the government trying to bring down carbon emissions, using really tough stakes for that to happen, but there is not enough business coming through at the minute because of covid and because of increased duties on lots of things, for businesses to survive this time. everything going up, fuel bills, prices, thank you very much indeed. the sun is up in lancashire. how is it for the rest of us? good morning. everything is going up except for the temperatures! they are going down, most definitely.

a bit nervous to ask you. this has not been rehearsed. tell me this. did you ever go raving? i not been rehearsed. tell me this. did you ever go raving?— not been rehearsed. tell me this. did you ever go raving? i did. well, i was a did you ever go raving? i did. well, i was a little _ did you ever go raving? i did. well, i was a little bit _ did you ever go raving? i did. well, i was a little bit young _ did you ever go raving? i did. well, i was a little bit young but - did you ever go raving? i did. well, i was a little bit young but i - did you ever go raving? i did. well, i was a little bit young but i did. i i was a little bit young but i did. oh, sorry, you are too young! big fish, oh, sorry, you are too young! big fish. little — oh, sorry, you are too young! big fish, little face, cardboard box. we all did it. what was the weather like when you went? in the field! keep watching. if your clubbing days are just a distant — but fond — memory, how would you fancy re—living the full experience, but without having to stay out all night? well, now you can, because the era of 19805 and 90s illegal raves has been recreated as a virtual reality experience, and you even get to re—live driving around trying to find the party. david sillito went to meet a few of the old school ravers, returning to the world of whistles

and glow sticks. rave music plays. acid house, rave — whatever you want to call it, it was, in the late 805, worrying the grown ups. acid house parties have become, in the home secretary's words, a nuisance to many, and more than a nuisance to some. but for those on the dance floor, it felt like the world had changed. it didn't matter where you were from. there were some rich kids there, poor kids there. there is some of that, almost religious kind of moment where you're all at one. and now, 33 years on, here in coventry, there's a chance to re—experience it all. it feels like the back of a warehouse. and a bit of time travel — we'e coming through now, are we? we're going back to 1989. jeff is coming with me as well! jeff, or mc paris, as he was known,

was a dj in coventry�*s booming warehouse scene of the 80s and 905. and this, a recreation of a club with a virtual reality journey, back to the 805. that seems pretty good to me. alsojoining u5, selina, who wa519 at the time. so i'm on a giant — i'm on a turntable at the moment, with a stylus over my head. this is amazing. it's about acid house music, and really, it's about the journey to get to a rave. our virtual reality trip began with trying to find the party via a message at a phone box. phone box! so, david is currently

in the service station. he actually actually at chorley services on the m6, and he's about to make a phone call, or receive a phone call, telling him where the next meet point is. 0h! but having left chorley services, and done our cat and mouse with the police, we finally arrive at the rave. i got a glue stick! it is a moment before the law stopped the5e giant warehouse parties. and being young, well, no one needed to look their best for instagram. it's also a history lesson, but one that seemed to have an effect. 0h! wow! i feel like i want to go back. that's... honestly, that's amazing. it's amazing.

i— iwas19. i feel like i've gone back to when i was 19. erm, yeah. sorry! but it takes you straight back. i felt like i was surrounded by people i knew from when i was younger. it's genuinely one of the one of the best experiences i've had. yeah, that was an experience ju5t second to none. we were there, definitely we were there, back in 89, so emotional, and to look back and see it in pictures, and feel it and be in it again, is just truly amazing for me. do you know what i mean? that's all i can say! i'm still a bit 5hook up! amazing! oh, dear. our chill out room. it's all over. oh, real world. david sillito, bbc news, coventry.

even when you hear some noise, you were like afraid. now we are in uk, we know that we're 5afe. we really appreciate so much. so many people help. today marks a year since the creation of the national covid memorial wall in central london. bereaved families from across the country will travel to the wall on the albert embankment, which is thought to be painted with over 100,000 hearts and dedications to loved ones. a petition will also be submitted to downing street calling for it to remain a permanent memorial. a court has issued a warrant for two brothers, aged 12 and i3, accused of burgling some of london's top hotels including claridge's and the four seasons. the younger sibling is also accused of burgling the television centre in white city and is said to have targeted other offices within the complex. the boys are too young to be publicly named. more people are visiting london's

west end but numbers are not yet back to pre—pandemic levels. it's just over a month since all covid restrictions were lifted, but the latest data from new west end company suggests footfall is still i6% below march 2019 levels. let's take a look at the tubes. there's minor delays on the metropolitan line — the ongoing part closure on the northern line for major work. on to the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. we're going to notice a change in the weather over the next few days. it's not going to feel quite so warm, and we haven't got too much 5un5hine either. quite a mi5ty start. temperatures mid—single figures first thing. some outbreaks of rain. it is going to say 5tay largely grey through the day. the rain perhap5 clearing further south through the afternoon, but temperatures just i! celsius. we are going to feel that difference. now overnight tonight,

we still could get some parts of rain, largely cloudy, a few breaks in the cloud. the minimum temperature, low 5ingle figures, down to three celsius. now for wednesday, you can see the colder air really starts to push 5outh, coming in from the north—east. so it is going to feel chillier through the course of wednesday. again, quite a lot of cloud. and feeding in from the north—east, some further 5howers. now temperatures tomorrow managing somewhere between seven and 10 celsius. it's overnight wednesday and into thursday where that front moves south. the back edge of it could return a little bit wintry, where it runs into that colder air, so we're looking at sleet, snow showers potentially, overnight into thursday. it shouldn't last for too long. still a few wintry showers for thursday. temperatures feeling quite cold. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today... a service of thanksgiving for the life of prince philip takes place today with a last—minute decision about whether the queen is able to attend. actor will smith apologises to chris rock for slapping him on stage at the oscars — saying his actions were unacceptable and inexcusable. ukrainian delegates arrive in turkey for peace talks with russia — but hopes aren't high for a successful outcome. the first batch of police fines for downing street parties

held in breach of coronavirus restrictions are expected to be issued today. how north macedonia are winning fans all over the world. can the tiny european nation pull off another shock and beat portugal to a world cup spot? the colder air creeps into northern scotland today. elsewhere and murky start. fewer showers around. all the details right here on breakfast. it's tuesday, the 29th of march. a service of thanksgiving for the life of the duke of edinburgh, who died last april, is taking place at westminster abbey this morning. buckingham palace has indicated a last minute decision will be taken as to whether the queen will be able to attend. here's our royal correspondent, daniela relph. it will be just as he'd wanted it. prince philip had requested many of the elements in the thanksgiving, and since his death, the queen has overseen the service.

much of today would have been part of last year's funeral. but covid meant restrictions, with just 30 guests, no singing from the congregation and that image of an isolated, masked queen. that sense of loneliness is so desolate actually in the feeling. for the country and the whole commonwealth to be able to give thanks for this amazing marriage for two people who devoted themselves to each other and then to duty and service of others, a chance to say thank you, i think would be wonderful and healing as well at the same time. the thanksgiving service here for prince philip will be a celebration of his contribution to public life. westminster abbey will be full of family, friends and those organisations he worked so closely with over the years. the service includes many personal touches. the congregation will sing the hymn,

guide me 0 thou great redeemer, as requested by prince philip. clergy from the royal estates will offer prayers to reflect his active role in managing the estates, and flowers will include sea holly to mark his naval career and lifelong affection for the sea. as d of e ambassadors, we use our voice. also playing a key role today will be the duke of edinburgh's award scheme, created to empower young people, many of whom will be at the abbey to show their appreciation. he was incredibly active in the award. he attended all of our gold award presentations, so he would... and that's one of the things i understand that he really enjoyed. he loved meeting young people and hearing about their stories and what they'd got up to on the award. and i thinkjust as a man, he was just a real champion for the power and potential of young people. the public servant, the naval commander and the family man — all aspects of prince philip's life

will be remembered today. daniela relph, bbc news, westminster abbey. when are we going to know if the queen will be able to attend? i hope we will know — queen will be able to attend? i hope we will know within _ queen will be able to attend? i hope we will know within the _ queen will be able to attend? i hope we will know within the next - queen will be able to attend? i hope we will know within the next couple l we will know within the next couple of hours. buckingham palace is being very careful in the words it is using. it says they hope the queen will be able to attend a thanksgiving service today. we will know one way or another before the end of the programme. there is a question about whether she is well enough to come today, she has mobility issues and is finding it hard to walk around. everything will be being done behind the scenes to make sure she can attend. staff will have looked at herjourney from windsor castle to hear, to make it as comfortable as possible. in terms

of getting inside westminster abbey, there are a number of ways in which mean that will to your seat is as short as possible. everything is being done for her to be here, to celebrate the life of her husband of 73 years, with the rest of her family. that will include prince and he is a guest here today because it is being seen as a family occasion rather than a working royal engagement he would not be part of. we are going to see members of all the senior royal families across europe. also on the guest list, the david attenborough and dame tanni grey—thompson. we also may see some of the duke of edinburgh's great grandchildren, which is the first time we will have seen them at an event of this kind.—

criminal record but you do have to pay a financial penalty because you are bound to have broken the law. speculation about who will get one. there could be as many as 15 in the first wave. then the question of who the people are. there was not a government policy of naming individual civil servants and politicians who were fine. it was very much left up to individuals themselves, with there being no expectation on junior civil servants. a lot of political expectation that senior politicians are very senior civil servant should. if the prime minister gets a fixed penalty notice, he has said publicly he will let us all know. there are loads of theories about who could be amongst the first 15. are these the real open and shut cases where it was obviously a clear breach of rules and the person themselves has almost admitted that? the other theory is it is about the order of questionnaires that were

sent out by the police. the prime minister was amongst one of the first people to get a questionnaire. other police slicing and dicing it that way? all sorts of things to think about over the next few hours as we wait for any information and confirmation. it does mean this incredibly controversial story is backin incredibly controversial story is back in the headlights of people to reach a judgment about claims people making the rules were not following the rules and also for tory mp5 to decide again, do they want to call for borisjohnson to go as a result? adam fleming live in westminsterfor us. ukraine and russia will hold face—to—face peace talks today for the first time in more than a fortnight, with the ukrainian side pushing for a ceasefire. delegations from both countries are meeting in istanbul, although hopes of a breakthrough remain low. let's get more on that, and all the other developments on the war in ukraine, with tomos morgan. morning.

so the delegates have landed, and these are the first pictures this morning of delegates in istanbul ready to begin talks in roughly around an hour's time. these are the first face—to—face negotiations in weeks. none of the others have proven fruitful so far, and there is scepticism that there will be a positive outcome this time around. russia is demanding ukraine abandon any intention ofjoining nato ? something president zelensky has said he would compromise on. whilst ukraine is aiming for a ceasefire, which seems unlikely. as the big issue is territory, before progress is made, president putin wants to make progress here, in the east, the donbass region. russia has said it's aiming to liberate eastern ukraine, and put a land corridor connecting that area with the crimean peninsula. ukraine meanwhile wants enemy troops to withdraw back to the lines before the invasion began in february. according to the experts, its difficult to see how compromise will be reached on this point.

and there is another cause for concern after last night. there were reports that after discussions in early march, three of those involved — two ukrainian peace negotiators and russian billionaire roman abrahmovich — claimed they suffered poisoning. burning sensation in their eyes and a rash among the symptoms. ukraine's foreign minister has cautioned his team attending. i advise anyone going for negotiations with the russian federation not to eat or drink anything _ federation not to eat or drink anything and preferably avoid touching any surface. the minimum programme — touching any surface. the minimum programme is first of all humanitarian questions. the maximum programme _ humanitarian questions. the maximum programme is ceasefire and reaching a lasting _ programme is ceasefire and reaching a lasting agreement on it. overnight, president volodomyr zelensky again pleaded for world powers to toughen sanctions

on russia, including, an oil embargo. we are creating a group of experts at the president's offers he will constantly analyse the sanctions against — constantly analyse the sanctions against russia, what is the real influence — against russia, what is the real influence. our goal is for the sanctions _ influence. our goal is for the sanctions to work as intended and that there — sanctions to work as intended and that there is no possibility to bypass — that there is no possibility to bypass them. elsewhere, after going off script during a speech in poland over the weekend, in which he appeared to be calling for a regime change in moscow, president biden has again had to clarify exactly what he meant. numberone, iwas number one, i was expressing the outrage _ number one, i was expressing the outrage i— number one, i was expressing the outrage i felt towards the way putin is dealing _ outrage i felt towards the way putin is dealing and the actions of this man _ is dealing and the actions of this man. just — is dealing and the actions of this man. just brutality. half the children— man. just brutality. half the children in ukraine. i have just come — children in ukraine. i have just come from _ children in ukraine. i have just come from being with those families. i come from being with those families.

talks, peace talks. the people who are living through this, do they have any optimism at all about progress? have any optimism at all about rouress? ., have any optimism at all about progress?— have any optimism at all about rouress? ., ., , ., �* ~ progress? not really. i don't think --eole progress? not really. i don't think people here _ progress? not really. i don't think people here really _ progress? not really. i don't think people here really trust _ progress? not really. i don't think people here really trust russia i progress? not really. i don't think. people here really trust russia very much at will and don't really think these negotiations are taking place in good faith. you have to remember, in good faith. you have to remember, in large parts of this country, the russians are still effectively destroying cities. around mariupol and kharkiv, they have still both being shout. there was an air raid if you as from here in which an oil depot was targeted. i suppose people are broadly speaking have some degree of optimism there is a channel of discussion between ukraine and russia. in terms of the positions of both countries, it is very hard to see how these talks can lead to really anything substantive in terms of stopping the fighting.

thank you for that. the actor, will smith, has issued a full apology to the comedian chris rock, for slapping him during the oscars ceremony. the on—stage violence — prompted by a joke about the star's wife — was seen live by millions of people around the world. our correspondent, david willis, reports. to do what we do, you've got to be able to take abuse, you've got to be able to have people talk crazy about you. will smith issued a tearful apology both to the academy and his fellow nominees on sunday night. but of one man, there was no mention. jada, i love you. gi jane 2, can't wait to see it. all right? chris rock's joke about smith's wife's hair loss led to her husband storming the stage and this slap across the face. oh, wow! as a stunned, star—studded audience looked on, the actor proceeded to hurl profanity—laden abuse from his seat. keep my wife's name out of your...

sound dips. ..mouth. i'm going to. nearly 2a hours after the academy awards got under way here, came a direct apology to chris rock. posting on instagram, will smith said he was wrong and out of line. "violence in all its forms is poisonous and destructive," he wrote. "my behaviour at last night's academy awards was unacceptable and inexcusable." now at this point, i can only laugh. as you all know, i've been struggling with alopecia. smith also mentioned his wife's highly public battle with hair loss saying a joke about her medical condition was too much for him to bear. his behaviour on what should have been one of the best nights of his life has been condemned by the academy and an inquiry is under way, which could lead to him being censured or expelled. after dancing the night away, he'll have awoken to the collective sense of shock and disbelief here over what happened

on sunday night. the slap that was seen around the world is unlikely to cost him his oscar but there's a growing feeling that such a highly public act of violence cannot go unpublished. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. well, one person who knows about the pressures of stand—up comedy and hosting big events is the comedian alan davies, who we can speak to now from north london. morning. really good to see you this morning. you have huge experience of working with live audiences and people reacting in a moment, sometimes, does it get a little bit tricky? i am interested to know what you thought when you saw that moment playing out on the oscars stage. i don't think he was making a joke about her hair loss, that is what i think. interesting in your report

you said chris rock made a joke about alopecia, about her medical condition. i think he saw her in a fitted green dress, although from the waist down it is a big skirt, fitted and a military green. the higher the way it is, a shaven look, striking jaw line, very beautiful woman. she resembled demi moore. he saw that and made a joke. kept as shall as he could, referencing that. it anything i think he thought he was paying her a compliment. it was turned on its head. perhaps that was his mistake, it was not scripted joke, not on the autocue. i don't know when he came up with it, maybe it was on the spot. initially there was a lover. you could tell from his

demeanour, and then there was a turn in the audience. i feel there was a false equivalence between what chris did and what will did. what chris did and what will did. what chris did was mild and not nasty remark. you would expect me perhaps to stick up you would expect me perhaps to stick up for the comedian but that is my take on it. in up for the comedian but that is my take on it. ., ., up for the comedian but that is my take on it. . ., . ., , ., take on it. in award ceremonies over the last few — take on it. in award ceremonies over the last few years, _ take on it. in award ceremonies over the last few years, it _ take on it. in award ceremonies over the last few years, it has _ take on it. in award ceremonies over the last few years, it has become i take on it. in award ceremonies over the last few years, it has become a i the last few years, it has become a thing for the house and the guest to poke fun and roast individual members of the audience, to point at the menjoke at members of the audience, to point at the men joke at their expense. even if you are right about what chris rock said last night, had things gone too far? do we need more respect for audiences at awards ceremonies?— respect for audiences at awards ceremonies? , , ceremonies? maybe. some people makin: ceremonies? maybe. some people making those _ ceremonies? maybe. some people making those sorts _ ceremonies? maybe. some people making those sorts of _ ceremonies? maybe. some people making those sorts of jokes, i ceremonies? maybe. some people making those sorts of jokes, you i making those sorts ofjokes, you might upset people. it is just a joke. in this instance, what will smith did next was wildly disproportionate and speaks of other

issues in his life. what i thought was fascinating as someone who is on stage often, where weather security? i suppose he could breathe through because he was will smith. you can imagine if someone tried to get on the at the oscars, he would be taken down. you could not get tojeremy kyle without being rugby tackled. the other thing about it, if somebody did that in a comedy club, started to sell abuse at the comedian, they would be injected. i was amazed he could sit back in his seat and pick up his prize. they live their manager in the public eye on a chat show. about herethat. the family life and children's lives in the public eye. at the oscars... i am interested what you are saying,

completely appreciate the reaction of will smith. in terms of the comedian chris rock on stage but we know a lot about these people, don't we? will smith's wife is very open about their marriage. she spoke of alopecia, losing her hair. in chris rock's brain, he must have known that, that this was a medical condition. do you think it didn't even enter his head when he made the joke? do you think it was somewhere in there and it was almost stepping over a line? i in there and it was almost stepping over a line?— in there and it was almost stepping over a line? ~ . ., ,, ._ over a line? i think that remark may have been laced _ over a line? i think that remark may have been laced with _ over a line? i think that remark may have been laced with some - over a line? i think that remark may have been laced with some other i have been laced with some other thoughts about the couple and that maybe what will felt when he received it. in his thinking and phrasing he still in almost a complimentary way. i have little difficulty in people saying they are offended and wanting comedians to moderate what they say. my instinct

and have any comedian is when you are told to moderate what you say, always did the opposite. i am a fan of chris rock, i had tickets to see him at the albert hall in may. i do not think he meant to reference that an idea think the reaction was in any way reasonable. i am sticking up for the comic, i am afraid. iuntil]! for the comic, i am afraid. will smith has _ for the comic, i am afraid. will smith has belatedly some would say issued an apology personally to chris rock overnight. he said his behaviour was unacceptable and inexcusable. is that enough? some people are saying maybe the oscar he was just given should be taken away as punishment, what do you think? that is nonsense. he might be arrested. you could face a charge of assault. people face charges for far lesser offences. that is possible. i feel sorry for him. the pressure on

those people out there, you cannot get from your hotel room to the car without being... there is anxiety and fear all the time. people say it is just what you get you are famous, you are reaping rewards and this is the pale. nowadays it is worse than ever with social media and the stress and anxiety. he blew up. perhaps somewhere inside him he did not want it all, it was too much. they should have been a great night for him. i have not seen the film but i am sure he is excellent for he is a very good actor. i feel sorry for him. there is too much made of the oscars, too much stuff to deepen their brains must be exploding. it is so fascinating to tilt to you. a really interesting perspective. —— talk to you. he makes a really good

point, where was security? if it had been anyone else, he would have been stopped. that was a good point. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it isa it is a bit cold and getting murky. getting colder as we go through the rest of the week. an atmospheric start to the morning in calton hill in edinburgh and quite a few of you this morning. the best of the sunshine in the west. also the return of some rain. a few showers around at the moment. a few gardeners will be pleased to see theirs. not especially heavy. this band of showery rain pushing into northern scotland is producing the cold air. sleet and snow on the northern edge. snow showers pushing in later. the best of the sunshine in later. the best of the sunshine in western areas. fairly cloudy in

the english channel and the channel islands. this is mid afternoon. school pick—up heading towards the rush—hour, we will see heavier showers in northern ireland, northern england and wales. still reasonably bright across much of south—west scotland. central, northern and western scotland cloudy. chilly. temperatures here four of 5 degrees, patted 13, 1a in the west. the cold air will slip further south as we go through tonight and into tomorrow. outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow in lower levels in parts of england and scotland. notice the temperatures. -5 scotland. notice the temperatures. —5 in the highlands and classics in london. a milder start here tomorrow with outbreaks of rain and hill snow and then falling to lower levels.

tomorrow snow showers in the north and a cold wind. much of england and wales a cloudy day. some will stay dry in the south—east corner. most feeling colder. holder in thursday morning. some waking up to sleet and snow on the ground. staying chilly through the rest of the week. back to you both. getting colder. some of you not convinced by what alan davies had to say. herbie has been in touch, comedians had to remember words hurt far more than a slap on the face. chris rock should also say he is sorry. too much pressure. we will keep talking about the oscars. we will talk about it later as well. we will talk about it later as well. we have a film that jane has done about some people suffering from alopecia and their take on it. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. ukrainian refugees have started arriving in london afterfleeing from the russian invasion. alla, a 27—year—old it worker, is now staying in a hotel and told bbc london about leaving her home when war began. i was trying to stay in my flat, and i couldn't stay because i was so afraid. it was really so scared. even when you hear some noise, you were like afraid. now we are in uk, we know that we're safe. we really appreciate so much. today marks a year since the creation of the national covid memorial wall in central london. bereaved families from across the country will travel to the wall on the albert embankment, which is thought to be painted with over 100,000 hearts

and dedications to loved ones. a petition will also be submitted to downing street, calling for it to remain a permanent memorial. a court has issued a warrant for two brothers, aged 12 and 13, accused of burgling some of london's top hotels, including claridge's and the four seasons. the younger sibling is also accused of burgling the television centre in white city, and is said to have targeted other offices within the complex. the boys are too young to be publicly named. more people are visiting london's west end, but numbers are not yet back to pre—pandemic levels. it's just over a month since all covid restrictions were lifted, but the latest data from new west end company suggests footfall is still 16% below march 2019 levels. let's take a look at the tubes. onto the weather now with kate kinsella.

good morning. we're going to notice a change in the weather over the next few days. it's not going to feel quite so warm, and we haven't got too much sunshine either. quite a misty start. temperatures mid—single figures first thing. some outbreaks of rain. it is going to say stay largely grey through the day. the rain perhaps clearing further south through the afternoon, but temperatures just 11 celsius. we are going to feel that difference. now overnight tonight, we still could get some spots of rain, largely cloudy, a few breaks in the cloud. the minimum temperature, low single figures, down to three celsius. now for wednesday, you can see the colder air really starts to push south, coming in from the north—east. so it is going to feel chillier through the course of wednesday. again, quite a lot of cloud. and feeding in from the north—east, some further showers. now temperatures tomorrow managing somewhere between seven and 10 celsius. it's overnight wednesday and into thursday where that front moves south. the back edge of it could return a little bit wintry,

where it runs into that colder air, so we're looking at sleet, snow showers potentially, overnight into thursday. it shouldn't last for too long. still a few wintry showers for thursday. temperatures feeling quite cold. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. anoosheh ashoori the british iranian man who was freed from prison in tehran earlier this month, says he's pleased to finally be back with his family, but cannot understand why it didn't happen sooner. he'd been held in iran since 2017 on spying charges, and was released alongside nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, after the uk settled a historic military debt with iran. he's been speaking to our diplomatic correspondent, caroline hawley.

and what an upset that was. a nation ranked 67th in the world, with a population ofjust two million knocking out the european champions, ranked 61 places above them, with a population of almost 30 times that. signs they have been on the cusp of producing these results. they beat germany last year. they qualified for the european championship as well, theirfirst major for the european championship as well, their first major tournament. now it is the turn of portugal tonight. will they go on and qualify for their first tonight. will they go on and qualify for theirfirst world cup? translation: obviously this is one ofthe translation: obviously this is one of the most important _ translation: obviously this is one of the most important matches - translation: obviously this is one of the most important matches in i translation: obviously this is one | of the most important matches in the history of our football. maybe many didn't believe that we would be present at this press conference, but here we are. all i have to say is that this is not a coincidence. this team have something that may the others don't have. i'm very proud of the feats that we have achieved and we are ready for this final. what a night in—store, as it is for

harry kane and eglin. he may not be adding to his england goals later as they take on ivory coast in a friendly. and no, john terry hasn't replaced gareth southgate. the former england captain a guest at training yesterday. harry kane scored against switzerland, and is now level with sir bobby charlton on 49 england goals. wayne rooney the only player ahead of him on 53. but will he get a chance to add to that tally tonight? if he had his way he'd play 90 minutes of every fixture, which is a brilliant quality to have, because if your captain wants to be in every game and play every minute of every game, that sets the tone for everything. the fact is we've got a good squad. we want to keep people involved and give people opportunities. we need to see certain things across the week, to see how people can play at the level. scotland could have been playing for a spot at the world cup later. instead, they're facing austria in a friendly, with their world cup play—off semi final with ukraine pushed back because of the conflict in the war torn country. so a chance to prepare

for the biggert challenges ahead. wales have one of those games to prepare for, that play—off final after beating austria. northern ireland play hungary, wales take on the czech republic in a friendly. the likes of gareth bale and aaron ramsey are expected to be rested. wayne hennessey will captain wales as he wins his 100th cap. my hero growing up was neville southall. i know nev reached 92, and i absolutely adore nev. i thought he was one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the time. but for myself, a massive achievement for myself and my family. a lot of hard work, ups and downs, injuries. so, yeah, for me, it's going to be a huge occasion and i can't wait. it's going to be an emotional evening for christian eriksen tonight, when he plays at copenhagen's parken stadium for the first time since suffering a cardiac arrest there during last year's euros. you can only imagine the reception

he will get walking out in front of his home fans later in the danish capital as captain as well. he scored as he came on as a substitute, making his international return last saturday. it's something you can't prepare. it would be one of the moments. the reception in holland was very big. my reception in holland was very big. my expectation is it is going to be even bigger here. this is where it happen. people will see it and afterwards people will be talking about it. then everything is back to normal. they will have a new memory. it is going to be special. of course it is going to be special. i am looking forward to it. he is very chilled _ i am looking forward to it. he is very chilled about _ i am looking forward to it. he is very chilled about it. _ i am looking forward to it. he is very chilled about it. he - i am looking forward to it. he is very chilled about it. he is - i am looking forward to it. he is| very chilled about it. he is more relaxed and _ very chilled about it. he is more relaxed and everybody - very chilled about it. he is more relaxed and everybody else. - very chilled about it. he is more relaxed and everybody else. he | very chilled about it. he is more - relaxed and everybody else. he has alwa s relaxed and everybody else. he has always been — relaxed and everybody else. he has always been a _ relaxed and everybody else. he has always been a relaxed _ relaxed and everybody else. he has always been a relaxed guy. - relaxed and everybody else. he has always been a relaxed guy. this - relaxed and everybody else. he has always been a relaxed guy. this is l always been a relaxed guy. this is the next incredible chapter in a truly remarkable story. last the next incredible chapter in a truly remarkable story. last than a ear since truly remarkable story. last than a year since that _ truly remarkable story. last than a year since that scary _ truly remarkable story. last than a year since that scary moment. - year since that scary moment. hejust seems so year since that scary moment. he just seems so together. 7:45pm for all those north macedonia fans.

people who devoted themselves to each other and then to duty and service of others, a chance to say thank you, i think would be wonderful and healing as well at the same time. the thanksgiving service here for prince philip will be a celebration of his contribution to public life. westminster abbey will be full of family, friends and those organisations he worked so closely with over the years. the service includes many personal touches. the congregation will sing the hymn, guide me 0 thou great redeemer, as requested by prince philip. clergy from the royal estates will offer prayers to reflect his active role in managing the estates, and flowers will include sea holly to mark his naval career and lifelong affection for the sea. as d of e ambassadors, we use our voice. also playing a key role today will be the duke of edinburgh's award scheme, created to empower young people, many of whom will be at the abbey

to show their appreciation. he was incredibly active in the award. he attended all of our gold award presentations, so he would... and that's one of the things i understand that he really enjoyed. he loved meeting young people and hearing about their stories and what they'd got up to on the award. and i thinkjust as a man, he was just a real champion for the power and potential of young people. the public servant, the naval commander and the family man — all aspects of prince philip's life will be remembered today. daniela relph, bbc news, westminster abbey. daniela's at westminster abbey for us this morning, where that service of thanksgiving will take place later. daniela, any news yet on whether the queen will be able to attend? well, still waiting, sally. we are hoping to find out before the end of

the programme. buckingham palace have been using their words carefully can i say no hope the queen will be here. everything is being done behind—the—scenes to get the queen here. making herjourney to the abbey comfortable, making sure she does not have to walk so far to her seat. the service is only a5 minutes long, making it as comfortable as possible for the queen to sit through. well over 1000 people are taking part in the thanksgiving service, a celebration of the life of the duke of edinburgh. lyra and felix are both with me, bronze and gold duke of edinburgh award winners. what is your role today? i edinburgh award winners. what is your role today?— your role today? i will be lining the ste ts your role today? i will be lining the steps of — your role today? i will be lining the steps of the _ your role today? i will be lining the steps of the abbey, - your role today? i will be lining| the steps of the abbey, smiling your role today? i will be lining - the steps of the abbey, smiling and greeting _ the steps of the abbey, smiling and greeting people. that is what i will be doing _ greeting people. that is what i will be doing today. greeting people. that is what i will be doing today-— greeting people. that is what i will be doing today. there must be pride ou are be doing today. there must be pride you are involved _ be doing today. there must be pride you are involved in _ be doing today. there must be pride you are involved in an _ be doing today. there must be pride you are involved in an event -

talk crazy about you. will smith issued a tearful apology both to the academy and his fellow nominees on sunday night. but of one man, there was no mention. jada, i love you. gi jane 2, can't wait to see it. all right? chris rock's joke about smith's wife's hair loss led to her husband storming the stage and this slap across the face. oh, wow! as a stunned, star—studded audience looked on, the actor proceeded to hurl profanity—laden abuse from his seat. keep my wife's name out of your... sound dips. ..mouth. i'm going to. nearly 2a hours after the academy awards got under way here, came a direct apology to chris rock. posting on instagram, will smith said he was wrong and out of line. "violence in all its forms is poisonous and destructive," he wrote. "my behaviour at last night's academy awards was unacceptable and inexcusable." now at this point, i can only laugh.

as you all know, i've been struggling with alopecia. smith also mentioned his wife's highly public battle with hair loss, saying a joke about her medical condition was too much for him to bear. his behaviour on what should have been one of the best nights of his life has been condemned by the academy and an inquiry is under way, which could lead to him being censured or expelled. after dancing the night away, he'll have awoken to the collective sense of shock and disbelief here over what happened on sunday night. the slap that was seen around the world is unlikely to cost him his oscar but there's a growing feeling that such a highly public act of violence cannot go unpublished. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. scotland yard is preparing to issue its first fines, as part of the inquiry into parties held at downing street

while covid restrictions were in place. sources at westminster suggest at least15fixed—penalty notices will be handed out. let's get the latest on this now from our chief political correspondent adam fleming. any names, any hints any clues? there is a lot of expectation and a whole load of speculation. after two months, the metropolitan police are ready to send out the first fixed penalty notices, fines, for breaches of lockdown rules. they have been looking at the findings when the public was living under various permutations of the coronavirus rules. we think the fines could come as soon as today enacted a 15 to 20 fines in the first batch. speculation about who will be fined. we know the prime minister has pledged that if he gets a fine, he

will tell us all. no pledge from the government to name anyone else. lots of theories about who could be among the first people to get fired. is it the first people to get fired. is it the open and shut cases where there is no room for interpretation? is it more about they are looking at in terms of the order in which the questionnaires they sent out to people to get information were sent back? it is a significant moment, theissueis back? it is a significant moment, the issue is back in the headlines. people have very strong feelings about the idea the rule makers may have been rule breakers. also the police passing about it now ups the ante. previously all we had was the verdict of the senior civil servant, c gray, saying there was a failure of leadership and judgment on several occasions. it will renew the conversation within the conservative party about whether conservative mps have faith in borisjohnson as leader, irrespective of whether he gets a fine or not stop we await

that news. gets a fine or not stop we await that news-— gets a fine or not stop we await that news. thank you very much indeed. ukraine and russia will hold face—to—face peace talks today for the first time in more than a fortnight, with the ukrainian side pushing for a ceasefire. delegations from both countries are meeting in istanbul, although hopes of a breakthrough remain low. president zelensky has said he's willing to discuss a formal neutral status for ukraine as part of any deal. tomos morgan reports. hoping to drive towards an understanding, talks have now begun in istanbul. the first time both sides have met face—to—face for weeks. previous discussions have not proven fruitful. doubts remain over whether this time will be any different. , :, :, , different. the minimum programme is festival humanitarian _ different. the minimum programme is festival humanitarian questions. - different. the minimum programme is festival humanitarian questions. the i festival humanitarian questions. the maximum programming ceasefire and reaching a lasting agreement on it. today there is also another cause

black sea near the city of odesa in the south—west, signed local treats are overcoming the so as russian tanks lie in ruin. this has led to resistance in nearby kherson. russia will unlikely back down before taking the east of ukraine. scepticism this latest round of talks will lead to any resolution or respite in this war. let's talk now to our correspondent jenny hill in moscow now. we heard there was not much optimism in ukraine about the peace talks. however they being viewed in russia? the kremlin spokesperson has said it

is good they are happening after having been held online. i think very little optimism. we had to question how serious moscow is about these negotiations. we know the basic demands from the kremlin have not changed. what may have happened if the ukrainian attitude about whether or not itjoined nato. ukraine are saying perhaps that is a commitment it could make not to do so. we know vladimir putin wants those areas in eastern ukraine, holmes of russian speakers to be independent, under russian control. he wants crimea, annexed in 201a, he wants that to be recognised as russian. in terms of raw demands, it is harder to determine right now. —— broader demands. what has changed is

his so—called special military operation is not going as well as he would have liked. will that change his position? that is unlikely given the fact the kremlin are saying it is going according to plan. we know in recent days the ministry of defence has said the first phase of its operation has ended and it will now start to concentrate on eastern ukraine. we will have to a and c. there is the faintest glimmer of hope the two sides are sitting down and talking. —— had to wait and see. the foreign office says it is very concerned the owner of chelsea football club, roman abramovich had symptoms of a suspected poisoning after talks to try to resolve the conflict with ukraine. for more on this, let's

speak to peter ingram, a former british intelligence officer and a weapons expert. morning tea year. good morning. i am interested i morning tea year. good morning. i am interested what — i morning tea year. good morning. i am interested what you _ i morning tea year. good morning. i am interested what you think _ i morning tea year. good morning. i am interested what you think about - i morning tea year. good morning. i am interested what you think about the - interested what you think about the allegation. it's shocking when we first heard it.— first heard it. what are your thoughts? _ first heard it. what are your thoughts? i'm _ first heard it. what are your thoughts? i'm sceptical- first heard it. what are your i thoughts? i'm sceptical about first heard it. what are your - thoughts? i'm sceptical about a lot of it. it is working out he did what. the reports i have looked at suggested it could be the russians trying to sabotage the talks, suggestions it was the ukrainians. nobody would really benefit from this apart from heating, who was at the time trying to create this scenario at the us and ukrainians were working together on a chemical and biological warfare project so he could use that to engineer an excuse to do something more drastic inside ukraine. it smacks of a false flag incident. the description of the symptoms do not match what you would automatically necessarily expect from some of the chemical agents, it

does with others. the different poisons you do not necessarily have to ingest them. there was a lot of talk about than eating stuff. we lack a lot of information. it is too early to make the call. in lack a lot of information. it is too early to make the call.— lack a lot of information. it is too early to make the call. in terms of a nerve agent. _ early to make the call. in terms of a nerve agent, is— early to make the call. in terms of a nerve agent, is that _ early to make the call. in terms of a nerve agent, is that something i early to make the call. in terms of i a nerve agent, is that something you generally to walk away from? it depends. going back to salisbury, we still the effect it had on the skripols and a sergeant, nick bailey. if you do get contaminated enough, it will make you sick and you get those symptoms make you do need treatment. where did roman abramovich bet his treatment? there was talk of skin peeling, i have not seen that as a result of nerve agent poisoning. the only country to have used nerve agents in recent years is

on chemical and biological warfare programmes as an excuse to escalate. i saw the paperwork and most will no relevance whatsoever. it ties in with what vladimir putin could have done from a masking perspective to try to put a false flag at the two cause another incident.- try to put a false flag at the two cause another incident. there is speculation _ cause another incident. there is speculation that _ cause another incident. there is speculation that russia - cause another incident. there is speculation that russia could i cause another incident. there is| speculation that russia could be using chemical weapons. what sort of arsenal could they have?— arsenal could they have? officially that arsenal— arsenal could they have? officially that arsenal was _ arsenal could they have? officially that arsenal was destroyed - arsenal could they have? officially that arsenal was destroyed in - arsenal could they have? officially| that arsenal was destroyed in 2017. that has not been properly verified. a lot of people talking about the use of chemical weapons because of the playbook that played out in syria, whenever russia supported basher al—assad, surrounding his cities and pounding them. whenever that did not work they resorted to chemical weapons to break the

impasse. in syria, vladimir putin had a plausibly deniable outlet, basher al—assad had chemical weapons. if putin used it in ukraine, he would lose tacit support he has got from other countries around the world, china, india and we have had the turkish president describing both ukrainians and the russian leaders as his friends because he is hosting the negotiation talks. i personally do not think chemical weapons would be they would use. i think generating an accident or a false flag is something they could do but that is not necessary —— necessarily the use of panic weapons. not necessary -- necessarily the use of panic weapons-— of panic weapons. thank you very much for your— of panic weapons. thank you very much for your time _ of panic weapons. thank you very much for your time this _ of panic weapons. thank you very much for your time this morning. | of panic weapons. thank you very i much for your time this morning. -- much for your time this morning. —— chemical weapons. interesting to know what to make of it. and what we

a petition will also be submitted to downing street calling for it to remain a permanent memorial. a court has issued a warrant for two brothers, aged 12 and 13, accused of burgling some of london's top hotels, including claridge's and the four seasons. the younger sibling is also accused of burgling the television centre in white city, and is said to have targeted other offices within the complex. the boys are too young to be publicly named. more people are visiting london's west end, but numbers are not yet back to pre—pandemic levels. it's just over a month since all covid restrictions were lifted, but the latest data from new west end company suggests footfall is still sixteen percent below march 2019 levels. let's take a look at the tubes. there's a good service this morning. just the ongoing part closure on the northern line for major work. onto the weather now with kate kinsella.

good morning. we're going to notice a change in the weather over the next few days. it's not going to feel quite so warm, and we haven't got too much sunshine either. quite a misty start. temperatures mid—single figures first thing. some outbreaks of rain. it is going to say stay largely grey through the day. the rain perhaps clearing further south through the afternoon, but temperatures just 11 celsius. we are going to feel that difference. now overnight tonight, we still could get some spots of rain, largely cloudy, a few breaks in the cloud. the minimum temperature, low single figures, down to three celsius. now for wednesday, you can see the colder air really starts to push south, coming in from the north—east. so it is going to feel chillier through the course of wednesday. again, quite a lot of cloud. and feeding in from the north—east, some further showers. now temperatures tomorrow managing somewhere between seven and 10 celsius. it's overnight wednesday and into thursday where that front moves south. the back edge of it could return a little bit wintry,

where it runs into that colder air, so we're looking at sleet, snow showers potentially, overnight into thursday. it shouldn't last for too long. still a few wintry showers for thursday. temperatures feeling quite cold. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. will smith made jaws drop at the oscars after he slapped comedian chris rock across the face over a joke made about his wife, jada pinkett smith. rock had taken aim at her shaved head, a result of the hair—loss condition alopecia. the incident has made headlines around the world, and caused a huge social debate — which of the men went too far? jayne mccubbin has this report. this was the moment of the world collectively gasped. wow! butjust

you look really cool, i promise. i have got lower back pain. i need to sit down. it was a long, long time ago. i need a rest. it's a long time ago. i need a rest. it's a long time ago. if you are missing it but would like to have a go at it again but may be in a slightly gentler, kinder stay at home kinder way... there is a solution. you can now go virtual reality raving. and you even get to re—live driving around trying to find the party. did you ever do that? no. david sillito went to meet a few of the old school ravers, returning to the world of whistles and glow sticks. rave music plays. acid house, rave — whatever you want to call it, it was, in the late 805, worrying the grown ups. acid house parties have become, in the home secretary's words,

a nuisance to many, and more than a nuisance to some. but for those on the dance floor, it felt like the world had changed. it didn't matter where you were from. there were some rich kids there, poor kids there. there is some of that, almost religious kind of moment where you're all at one. and now, 33 years on, here in coventry, there's a chance to re—experience it all. it feels like the back of a warehouse. and a bit of time travel — we'e coming through now, are we? we're going back to 1989. jeff is coming with me as well! jeff, or mc parris, as he was known, was a dj in coventry�*s booming warehouse scene of the 805 and 905. and this, a recreation of a club with a virtual reality journey, back to the 805. that seems pretty good to me. alsojoining us, selina,

who was 19 at the time. so i'm on a giant — i'm on a turntable at the moment, with a stylus over my head. this is amazing. it's about acid house music, and really, it's about the journey to get to a rave. our virtual reality trip began with trying to find the party via a message at a phone box. phone box! so, david is currently in the service station. he's actually at chorley services on the m6, and he's about to make a phone call, or receive a phone call, telling him where the next meet point is. 0h! but having left chorley services, and done our cat and mouse with the police, we finally arrive at the rave.

i got a glue stick! it is a moment before the law stopped these giant warehouse parties. and being young, well, no one needed to look their best for instagram. it's also a history lesson, but one that seemed to have an effect. 0h! wow! i feel like i want to go back. that's... honestly, that's amazing. it's amazing. i— iwas 19. i feel like i've gone back to when i was 19. erm, yeah. sorry! but it takes you straight back. i felt like i was surrounded by people i knew from when i was younger.

it's genuinely one of the best experiences i've had. yeah, that was an experience just second to none. we were there, definitely we were there, back in 89, so emotional, and to look back and see it in pictures, and feel it and be in it again, is just truly amazing for me. do you know what i mean? that's all i can say! i'm still a bit shook up! amazing! oh, dear. our chill out room. it's all over. oh, real world. david sillito, bbc news, coventry. if you can remember it, were you even there? i if you can remember it, were you even there?— even there? i was there and i do remember _ even there? i was there and i do remember it- — even there? i was there and i do remember it. i— even there? i was there and i do remember it. i wasn't _ even there? i was there and i do remember it. i wasn't there. - even there? i was there and i do i remember it. i wasn't there. that's wh i remember it. i wasn't there. that's why i can't — remember it. i wasn't there. that's why i can't remember— remember it. i wasn't there. that's why i can't remember it. _ someone who knows all about those days of raving is leeroy thornhill,
