good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. the organisers of the oscars say will smith refused to leave the ceremony after hitting chris rock, and they have started disciplinary procedings against the actor. it's the last day of free covid tests for most people in england, as the government pushes ahead with its plan for living with covid. as ukraine braces itself for more attacks, the head of the uk's intelligence agency says some of vladimir putin's advisers don't appear to be telling him the truth.

with the cost of living crisis, it is fish and chip shops which are now feeling the bite and there are warnings that up to half of them across the uk may have to shot. shut. we find out why the costs involved are so expensive. tributes to tom parker, singer with pop group the wanted, who's died from cancer at the age of 33. the debate over transgender athletes in sport intensifies after british cyclist emily bridges is told by she can't now compete in her first women's event this weekend. and we are in colder air at the moment with a mixture of rain, sleet and snow for some of us over the next couple of days. i will be back with all of the details. it's thursday, the 31st of march. the organisers of the oscars say they asked will smith to leave sunday's ceremony after he slapped the comedian chris rock but he refused. disciplinary proceedings have now been launched by the academy against the actor,

who has since apologised for his actions. it comes as chris rock made an emotional return to the stage overnight for the first time since the awards. our west coast correspondent, sophie long, reports. chris rock arriving in boston for his first show since being slapped by will smith. the comedian told the audience he was still processing what had happened. he didn't say whether he accepted smith's apology. oh, wow! was it acceptable for the actor to strike another that's the question that's prompted an outpouring of and crew of coda, the big winner of the night. when i was in the room it felt quite shocking and quite violent and i felt like it took away the energy of the room.

but now i feel like people should sort of let the academy deal with the consequences and we should actually celebrate the films that won, like troy and sian and summer of soul and all these great people who worked really hard to get their work recognised. some argue his actions advocated violence, diminished women and perpetuated stereotypes about the black community. but here in downtown la, where people gathered to protest black lives lost, there is a feeling that what happened at the oscars is distracting from more serious acts of violence. well, i don't feel diminished. i do recognise — well, i don't feel diminished. i do recognise that it is a very, very comp _ recognise that it is a very, very comp located conversation. there are all kind _ comp located conversation. there are all kind of— comp located conversation. there are all kind of things like, did it perpetuate the stereotype of black men and _ perpetuate the stereotype of black men and violence? i think most black folks were _ men and violence? i think most black folks were thinking, oh, this

redemption if will smith is willing to take accountability and chris is willing to receive the apology, it would be great if there was a redemption rather than a punitive action, it could be a great experience, i think. action, it could be a great experience, ithink.- action, it could be a great experience, ithink. action, it could be a great exerience, ithink. ., ,, ., experience, i think. good of you to tive us experience, i think. good of you to give us your— experience, i think. good of you to give us your expenses, _ experience, i think. good of you to give us your expenses, steve, - experience, i think. good of you to give us your expenses, steve, who went to chris rock? yesterday evening. talking to us from boston. thank you. today is the last day of free coronavirus testing for most people in england, as the government moves ahead with its living with covid plan. the move has been criticised by some scientists who say the change is coming too soon but ministers insist the money could be better spent elsewhere. our health correspondent, jim reed reports. it was, scientists told us, the most important way to keep covid in check. we have a simple message for all countries. test, test, test. hundreds of testing centres like this were set up. millions of home kits set out.

two years on, though, free community testing is now ending, part of the government's plan to live with the virus. right, so what clothes for next week, then? that one? that will affect people like diane and her son wesley in hull. wesley lives with cerebral palsy, putting him at higher risk from covid itself. we have no other choice but to pay. as far as we know, we don't know any different. but the tests stop from friday, the free tests stop from friday. it's more the worry of making sure we've got them and we have them, and we just have to be careful with them. where will we get the money? we don't have a choice, we've just got to find it. from tomorrow, covid will be treated more like flu with anyone sick asked to stay at home from five days. to stay at home for five days. in england and wales,

there will be no more mass testing centres in scotland and northern ireland following soon. free testing will continue for health care workers, hospital patients and those with weakened immune system if they have symptoms. instead, most people will have to start paying at a local pharmacy. the concern from some is this will inevitably lead to a rise in infections. i think that's expected. and i think we are going to see individuals who won't be able to afford those tests or won't be able to take time off, and i think to mitigate that risk, we've got the booster programme, we've got more boosters coming out for vulnerable individuals, and i think that's going to help offset some of that risk that we see. this change comes at a time when covid rates have been rising sharply, driven by a new offshoot of the omicron variant. the government says testing was costing billions of pounds a year that could be better spent elsewhere. and here, in hull's indoor markets, plenty of people thinks

it's time to move on. yes, we've got to get used to living with it and accept things, and the government hasn't got a never—ending pot of money to pay for everything. yeah, i mean, obviously, if i'm ill, i don't have to work anyway. if i've got a cold, i'm not going to stand here with a streaming nose serving people food and cooking food. so ijust viewed it as the same as any other illness which would keep me off work, really, if i caught it. with the testing, i personally think if somebody can't afford to buy- them, they should be provided, it should be provided. - personally i'm happy to pay for it because i can afford it. _ i think it should be a balance. that balance is something we as a society have been grappling with since the start of the pandemic. covid is not going away. this next step, the ending of free testing, feels like a significant moment, though, as we start to live alongside the virus. jim reed, bbc news.

advisors to russian president, vladimir putin, are afraid to tell him the truth about how badly the war is going in ukraine. that's the verdict from the head of the uk government's security and intelligence agency, gchq. in a speech in australia, sirjeremy fleming said russia appeared to have "massively misjudged the situation" and morale was low within the military. jon donnison has more. few people get close to vladimir putin. the russian president is isolated, fighting a personal walk with his own advisers to scared to telling the truth. that is the assessment of britain's spy chief, delivered today in a speech in australia. he delivered today in a speech in australia-— delivered today in a speech in australia. , ., australia. he underestimated the strentth of australia. he underestimated the strength of his _ australia. he underestimated the strength of his coalition - australia. he underestimated the strength of his coalition his - strength of his coalition his actions would galvanise. he underplayed the economic consequences of the sanctions regime. and he overestimated the

abilities of his military to secure abilities of his military to secure a rapid victory. we have seen russian soldiers short of weapons and morale, refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment, and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft. fin shooting down their own aircraft. on the ground, north of kyiv, ukraine enforces art securing areas recaptured from the russians. their enemy still lying scattered around them. they were cannon fodder, just kids sent here, alexander said, before a reminder that around the capital all is not yet quiet. and in the besieged and battered southey to south—eastern city of mariupol, they have been burying the dead in the streets. the un estimates at least 5000 civilians have been killed here. with conditions deteriorating, there is another promise of a ceasefire this morning to allow people to get out, but such promises have come and gone before. in his

latest address, president zelensky said the war was at a turning point, but cast doubt on russia's claim that it but cast doubt on russia's claim thatitis but cast doubt on russia's claim that it is the escalating the fighting. translation: latte that it is the escalating the fighting. translation: we do not believe anyone. _ fighting. translation: we do not believe anyone. we _ fighting. translation: we do not believe anyone. we do _ fighting. translation: we do not believe anyone. we do not - fighting. translation: we do not believe anyone. we do not trust i fighting. translation: we do not| believe anyone. we do not trust any beautiful verbal constructions. there is a real situation on the battlefield, and now, this is the most important thing, we will not give up anything and we will fight for every metre of our land, for every person. but for every metre of our land, for every person-— for every metre of our land, for every person. but many of have already left- — every person. but many of have already left. the _ every person. but many of have already left. the united - every person. but many of havej already left. the united nations says more than it million ukrainians have now fled to neighbouring countries. let's speak now to our correspondent jonah fisher, who is in the western ukrainian city of lviv. good morning. just bring us right up to date with developments overnight. well, schelling has continued around several locations around kyiv itself to the north, an area called irpin which has supposedly been taken back

ljy which has supposedly been taken back by ukrainians in the last few days, there has been shelling there and also in chernihiv, one of the cities where russia promised it would drastically reduce its activities. the authorities there say they have been shelled. president zelensky has been shelled. president zelensky has been speaking again overnight as he usually does, in particular talking about this supposed shift in emphasis away from kyiv and towards eastern ukraine, effectively saying that people should not get too carried away with it and that ukraine was now bracing itself for a renewed intensified attack in eastern ukraine. some talks are supposed to take place today, online rather than in person. again president zelensky not optimistic about it, talking about, we don't trust anyone or any beautiful verbal constructions. so it doesn't seem like he has much confidence in it really going anywhere. a small positive that it might work out or

not, this prospect of a ceasefire in mariupol, the port city in south—east ukraine that has been under siege for more than three weeks now. the russians say they are prepared to do a ceasefire this morning with the help of international agencies. we believe there are more than 100,000 people still trapped in awful conditions in that city. it's still not clear whether the ukrainians have agreed to this, they do control a small area in the city, but it mightjust be that today is the day that the more people can escape from the awful situation in mariupol. thank ou ve awful situation in mariupol. thank you very much. — awful situation in mariupol. thank you very much, for _ awful situation in mariupol. thank you very much, for the _ awful situation in mariupol. thank you very much, for the moment, l you very much, for the moment, jonah. good morning, 6:15am, ithink we need a weather applet because things have changed, owain. i would say rather dramatically. at i would say rather dramatically. it least 12 degrees. i would say rather dramatically. at least 12 degrees. some _ i would say rather dramatically. at least 12 degrees. some people - i would say rather dramatically. atj least 12 degrees. some people are sa int least 12 degrees. some people are sa in: that least 12 degrees. some people are saying that we _ least 12 degrees. some people are saying that we are _ least 12 degrees. some people are saying that we are taking - least 12 degrees. some people are saying that we are taking one - least 12 degrees. some people arej saying that we are taking one from the temperature compared to what we saw two days ago. we have got a

colder air mass now, people seeing this, fast, sleek and snow through today. this is the headline. —— michael foster, sleet and snow. we could see some slippery surfaces this morning, we have got the ice badges on the map. this feature in the south—east will tip back in today introducing prolonged showers in south—eastern parts. elsewhere, sunny spells and scattered, wintry showers, a breezy blustery day especially in the south—eastern corner. no pressure here. temperatures dipped below freezing last night for many of us, and we will get to nine or ten in places but most of us in single figures today. tonight, a bit of a repeat performance. temperatures will be dipping below freezing. this feature pushes into the north of scotland and this weather front dips back into the south—east corner. in

between, clear spells and scattered wintry showers, some sleet or snow falling lower levels. a weather front moving south tomorrow, sunny spells across england and wales, top temperatures ten or 11 tomorrow. as we cast an eye on the weekend, high pressure still off towards the west, trying to build as we head through the next couple of days. plenty of dry weather on saturday but turning cloudy at times. we'll have to wait until next week to see the temperatures rise a bit. we will keep you posted. keep waiting. thank you, owain. from tomorrow, the government will be offering grants of £5,000 pounds to encourage people in england and wales to replace their gas boilers with electric heat pumps. but how exactly does the technology work, and is it worth the upfront cost? our climate editorjustin rowlatt has been finding out. this is what the government wants you to do. tear out your carbon dioxide spewing

gas boiler and replace it with the electric alternative for heating your home, a heat pump. they are more climate friendly than gas and don't depend on supplies from, ahem, despotic dictators. there you go, what do you think? wow! ok, yeah. i thought it might be wider than that, i don't know why. but, yeah, it looks really smart. they are not the most exciting things, are they? yeah, no, but it's got an importantjob to do. yeah, it certainly has. heating and hot water accounts for around 80% of the energy we use in our homes, and the government hopes that by 2028, in six years' time, 600,000 of us will be switching to heat pumps every year. so what is so great about them? well, the basic law of the universe is that heat flows from a hot thing to a cold thing. and so if we're going to actually

harvest heat from the world, what we need is something really, really cold. and one way to do that is to take a liquid, like if you example, and one way to do that is to take a liquid, is to take a liquid, like butane for example, and what we are going to do is we are actually going to expand it very fast. so, watch, you'll see the liquid coming out. and as we do that, look at the temperature. so a thermometer, it's gone to —28, and it's getting colder and colder, —8, —40, —41, —42, —43 celsius. so even if it's —5, —10, we've still got 30 degrees of warmth outside that you can harvest into your gas. so, you've drawn all this energy and what it's done is, is it now warms your gas back up again. and now comes the secret of the heat pump. what it's going to do is, it's going to compress that gas. let me just illustrate that with this piston. we've got air inside, and when i press that down, really fast, what's that going to do is is going to heat up the air inside of the cotton wool so much for the cotton wool will ignite. this is best done

in a darkened room. oh, yes! so you take that heat, and you transfer it into your central heating system. and because now you have compressed it, it's gone back to being a liquid, it can come out of the nozzle, get really cold, draw in the heat from outside and back into the pump, become a liquid again, releasing its heat, and it goes heat from the outside, you take one kilowatt or four kwh of heat inside your house. let's just repeat that. for any unit of energy you put in, you get between three or four out. so if they're so much more efficient, why aren't that is because we care much more about how much things cost than how efficient they are. says leah robson, who has been installing fuel pumps in south london for nine years. typically, gas prices

are around four times cheaper than electricity prices. so effectively, your efficiency in terms of cost is pretty much cancelled out. what's more, heat pumps operate at lower temperatures than gas boilers so you will need to make sure your home is well insulated. some of your radiators. add in the fact that heat pumps cost more than twice as much as gas boilers and you realise that even at current gas prices, they work out more expensive for virtually all of us. the idea is the new grant scheme will help level up costs. just one of the reasons energy companies say lots of people are asking about them. interest really spiked since the invasion of ukraine because i think people are saying to themselves, how do we get off gas, what can i do to get off gas? and heat pumps are not only the solution to reducing gas usage, but over time, they will be cheaper too. yeah, but the point is, at the moment, they are much more

expensive to put in and at least as expensive to run. so what we've got to do is scale heat pumps and make them cheaper, so they don't need subsidies and actually they are a much more resilient way of heating our homes. but that's going to take time, so why put one in now? i'm not sure we are going to save money in doing this. but, you know, at least we'll know it's doing less damage to the environment. so it's paying us back in different ways. and let's be honest, not everything is about money. put it this way, you don't expect your new kitchen to turn a profit, do you? justinjoins us now. it's really interesting in terms of the intention is good, isn't it? we all know that we want to be more energy efficient, the prices are telling us we need to be more energy efficient but yet you look at heat pumps and you hear about them, they

are expensive and you see from your report, they don't work brilliantly for every type of house yet. yeah, they don't — for every type of house yet. yeah, they don't work — for every type of house yet. yeah, they don't work politically - for every type of house yet. yeah, they don't work politically for - they don't work politically for every type of house but they are a technology which will be capable of heating our homes in the future force stop the issue is how elated your home is. if you have a fairly well insulated home, you probably can do it. , , ., well insulated home, you probably candoit. ,, .. ., can do it. this is what climate chan . e can do it. this is what climate change activists _ can do it. this is what climate change activists say, - can do it. this is what climate change activists say, if- can do it. this is what climate change activists say, if the . can do it. this is what climate - change activists say, if the plants are not going into insulation, it's pointless going to new technology so is it pointless? iii pointless going to new technology so is it pointless?— is it pointless? if you have got a 19705 is it pointless? if you have got a 15370s home _ is it pointless? if you have got a 1970s home or— is it pointless? if you have got a 1970s home or not _ is it pointless? if you have got a 1970s home or not to _ is it pointless? if you have got a 1970s home or not to pay, - is it pointless? if you have got a 1970s home or not to pay, you | is it pointless? if you have got a - 1970s home or not to pay, you could 19705 home or not to pay, you could switch to a heat pump and it would work for you. we need to have room for a big water cylinder. the early adopters are people who are middle class people who are concerned about the environment, who probably have bigger, more draughty, older victoria homes for which heat pumps

are not appropriate. but it is an amazing technology. one unit of energy in, and three orfour units of heat out, that's amazing. that has to be something we can work with, and that is what the government wants to do, kick—start the process of as putting them in our homes. we see our neighbours have them and we realise we can use them. , ., , have them and we realise we can use them. . ., , ., have them and we realise we can use them. .._ ., , them. usually what happens the technology _ them. usually what happens the technology is — them. usually what happens the technology is things _ them. usually what happens the technology is things get - them. usually what happens the technology is things get more i technology is things get more affordable over time. you can apply that to everything, big tvs, phones, they get cheaper, they are more plentiful over time. they get cheaper, they are more plentiful overtime. if they get cheaper, they are more plentiful over time. if people are just sitting at home thinking, i will wait because it will get cheaper, will the same thing apply? it will, there is a bigger market for heat pumps and chat —— just like with personal computer, they will get cheaper and cheaper as the industry scales up. but like with your mobile phone, you need a mobile phone, a boiler, at some point you

have to invest and get on board. you get the benefits from the moment you buy the technology. so you want to get in early and start getting the benefits of these more efficient heaters. i sense you are sceptical, naga! ! heaters. i sense you are sceptical, nata! ., s, s, , , heaters. i sense you are sceptical, nata! ., ., ., , , ., naga! i would love to buy into it but i naga! ! would love to buy into it but i think— naga! i would love to buy into it but i think affordability - naga! i would love to buy into it but i think affordability is - naga! i would love to buy into it but i think affordability is a - naga! i would love to buy into it but i think affordability is a real| but i think affordability is a real issue. those who have victorian big homes, may be the outlay isn't so galling, but you are looking at £16,000 potentially and you have a grant of £5,000, coming in, that's still 11... a lot of money. hopefully it came across in my report, at the moment even with the soaring gas prices that we see at the moment as the result of the invasion in ukraine, even in this situation, they are still a little bit more expensive. that's why the government is stepping in and saying, we recognise that there is a cost difference and we are trying to bridge the gap for the 30,000 people per year who get the grants. but

this is the beginning of the roll—out of a technology which 600,000 people, the government hopes ijy 600,000 people, the government hopes by 2028 600,000 people will be switching to. we have got to recognise that we are sceptical, what is this technology and how it works, but it is something that we have to get used to because it is the direction, notjust us but in european countries, in scandinavia, this is commonplace, lots of homes are heated, germany, lots of homes... it is going to be technology we have to get familiar with. ., , , ., ,. m with. really interesting, thank you. love having — with. really interesting, thank you. love having you _ with. really interesting, thank you. love having you here, _ with. really interesting, thank you. love having you here, thank- with. really interesting, thank you. love having you here, thank you. i time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. police are continuing to search for a missing 11t year old from brent who hasn't been seen for more than a week. rashid elsafi—bakkar is a student at ark elvin academy. his headteacher has said his

disappearance is "out of character". police released this footage of him walking in wembley on march the 20th hoping it might jog people's memories. the school community and his friends are concerned, and i would reiterate that the police and my team are really concerned for his welfare at this time. if you have information or know the location of rashid, please contact us. the rise in rates of covid has forced a hospital in east london to cancel some operations. the chief operating officer of the homerton in hackney said the hospital had taken down a number of theatre lists this week because of staff absence . the hospital said the situation isn't as bad as january and february. london's latest tourist attraction will start this weekend when visitors will be able to climb the masts of the cutty sark. with the help of safety equipment visitors can climb up the masts before abseiling back down. the masts are original — removed before the fire in 2007. the cutty sark transported tea from china and wool from australia to england in the 19th century.

from friday — friday the first of april — energy firms can increase bills by sit per cent. ahead of the changes we ll be answering some of your questions on tonight 5 programme. we'd like to know what the impact will be on you, your business, yourfamily and how you plan to cope with the increase in the cost of living. do get in touch with your questions or comments. email us at hellobbclondon @bbc.co.uk. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. on the tube, the dlr is part suspended between poplar and canary wharf. and london overground has some part closures onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. it might be spring, but it will feel very much like winter again as we head through today. it's bitterly cold with a brisk and chilly north—easterly wind blowing. last night we saw a cold front sink outwards, introducing the chilly arctic airand also turning a little sleety over the

behind a bit of cloud for southern areas, a patchy frost, especially towards the north. there will be lots of dry weather in the forecast for today and also some sunny spells but do watch out for the possibility of some showers coming down on the chilly north—easterly wind, strengthening through the day and some of the showers a bit wintry possibly over the higher ground with sleet and hail and even some wet snow but most of it falling as rain. the wind will strengthen through the afternoon, gusting perhaps as high as a0 or 45 miles an hour, so while these will be the afternoon temperatures, it will feel colder than this with plenty of added wind—chill. overnight tonight, we see the winds ease down a little. still the possibility of some showers. there will be a frost tomorrow morning and temperatures dipping below freezing and watch out for some icy stretches. tomorrow, lighter winds, a bit more in the way of sunshine, still possibly some showers and temperatures will slowly recover over the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back

to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. tributes are being paid this morning to the wanted's tom parker who has died at the age of 33. the singer was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour less than two years ago. last year, he spoke to bbc breakfast about his illness, and his pride at performing at a very special charity concert. ladies and gentlemen, go wild for the wanted! # how do you get up from an all—time low? # i can't even find a place to start. it's been a bit of a journey to say the least. so i was diagnosed about 11 months ago, so, yes, it's been a crazy old journey,

to be honest with you. # live today, kiss the light. chemo, the radiation was very tough. i have a lot of empathy with anybody who goes through it. my body was crying out for help by the end. it was just really intense. i don't really like talking about it because i'm all about the positive mindset, and it's not that i'm ignoring cancer, but ijust don't want to pay it any attention. the more attention you pay it, the more it consumes your life, and i don't want it to consume my life. i've got kids, i've got a family. i spoke to the boys and i was like, listen, i would love for you to be involved in some capacity and they were all right, yes, absolutely, we want to sing. and i was like, 0k. it feels more special, the fact we were all together

doing it and the boys are there to support me, and that's beautiful for me. # but if you go. # how do you get up from an all—time low? what was it like? you've never been apart. the boys have been amazing as a support network for me at this time it's been a nice distraction and they've been such great support. just just focus on every day. you know, none of us, any of us in this room, don't know what tomorrow holds and i think that's the one thing i have taken from the situation. live today like it is your last. we're nowjoined by neurooncologist professor susan short. good morning to you. there's only one place to start, speaking to you and we will talk about your expertise in a moment but this is a sad day for tom and for his family.

several trials going on at the moment and we would like there to be more new options and we definitely need some new treatment approaches for this cancer but the one we are involved in setting up at the moment is patients who have been treated for tumours but they have grown back as they nearly all do and we routinely treat them with a second round of chemotherapy but we are looking at whether the addition of a cannabinoid preparation of the tumours to chemotherapy so the combination may improve the outcome of that second round of treatment and we hope to get that study up and started in the next few weeks. professor, looking at tom parker and how he conducted himself knowing that he had the condition, he talked a lot about his condition very openly and i would imagine for somebody in your profession, and any of us as laypeople looking at it, that's an amazing thing to do, but

also i would imagine very helpful. absolutely. it is a challenging condition to deal with, even more so when you are in the public eye and i think, yes, you must have been difficult to know how to handle that but he did an amazing job and it is important that individuals like him help raise the profile of this disease and let the public know that there are these tumours that are very challenging to treat and help us in terms of fundraising for the research which is vital, really to try and move the field on and improve the outlook for these patients and tom and his band did that. ., , ,., patients and tom and his band did that. s, , ., s, ., ,. i. patients and tom and his band did that. s, ., s, ., ,. s, that. professor short, thank you for our that. professor short, thank you for your time- — that. professor short, thank you for your time- just _ that. professor short, thank you for your time. just some _ that. professor short, thank you for your time. just some reflections - your time. just some reflections there on the death of the singer tom parker, who sadly died at the age of just 33 years old and we will talk more on that later in the morning. arlene phillips is going tojoin us and she worked with tom when he was

the 67—year—old, who is best known for starring in the die hard films, has been diagnosed with aphasia, a type of brain disorder which affects a person's ability to speak and write. peter bowes reports. so are you worried about it? not the past six months. why do you go with them, man, what's up? because i'm in new york cop. bruce willis in his signature role as the new york detective john maclean in the die hard films. he became a huge star in the 19805 — a tough guy action hero, a one—of—a—kind movie star. sorry, i didn't get that message. mayday. nakatomi plaza. this channel is reserved for emergency calls only. do i sound like i'm ordering a pizza?!! he appeared in more than 100 films but now bruce willis is being formed into retirement by a debilitating illness. the news came in a statement posted on social media by his family, including his wife, emma hemming—willis and his ex—wife, demi moore.

the condition impedes a person's ability to communicate with difficulty speaking and writing and the inability to understand language. aphasia is probably one of the worst neurological symptoms because it is targeted specifically at that language processing and people can be awake and alert and interactive, but to lose that ability, it's extremely frustrating and makes it very difficult for people to cope with daily life. just what i wanted to see. just the man i wanted to see. maddy hayes.

bruce willis's career started in television. in moonlighting, he starred opposite cybill shepherd and won his first emmy as david addison, the wisecracking head of a los angeles detective agency. all the newspapers, all over the tv. what case has meryl streep practising an american accent? got me! hopeless. as a movie star, bruce willis has been hugely prolific. there have been some flops but plenty of blockbusters, like quentin tarantino's black comedy, pulp fiction. how you going to beat them, butch? they keep underestimating me. as an actor and pop culture icon, bruce willis has been a familiar face on the red carpet circuit for decades. his marriage to demi moore ended in divorce but they are still good friends. many fans have turned up to pay their own tributes. selfies on the actor's a star on the hollywood walk of fame and posts on social media to honour willis's career.

ukraine and russia are big exporters of lots of the ingredients in the nation's favourite dish. fish and chips on the beach. it's a british institution, but most of the cod and haddock sold our chippies isn't actually caught in these waters. more than a third of it is imported from russia. with sanctions and the hunt for alternative sources, the price of white fish has soared. we are hoping that we don't have to put our prices up too much. there's going to be a small increase, for sure. we've opened all day, every day for 30 years. we've thrived on being open all day, every day and we started to think that dinner times are going to have to be cut down, may be two until four every day. or we're going to have to start doing something different. which we don't know what that is yet. the cost of fish and chips. have you noticed any difference? has it become more expensive?

has it put you off any talk? we can't stop everything otherwise businesses willjust go and that will be very, very unfair. yes, we will go. we will not go as often, but we will go. for a normal fish and chip shop, what is it now, £10? _ we just had fish and chips and mushy peas. £5.50. nice. from tomorrow, fish and chip shops across the country will also have to manage increases to the minimum wage and higher vat. at the same time as their customers personal finances are also being squeezed further. what about the vat rise? what does that mean for you? it was catastrophic. our profit margins are already very minimal and now they�* re taking another 5%. it speaks for itself, really. the money is just not there. i want it to carry on. this is my home and it's the only place i've lived for 30 years. i don't want to leave. it will be sad to leave. it will be sad to see

somebody else run it. if somebody else can do it, we can do it, so we will carry on, hopefully. costs going up for fish and costs going up forfish and chip shops and potentially prices as customers. let's speak to alistair, the owner at seniors fish and chips and we've heard from the fish and chip shops that it is costing them more to buy the stock and ingredients, but why are you having to charge more and why is it costing you more as a supplier? itittitli to charge more and why is it costing you more as a supplier?— you more as a supplier? with the situation in _ you more as a supplier? with the situation in europe, _ you more as a supplier? with the situation in europe, we _ you more as a supplier? with the situation in europe, we have i you more as a supplier? with the situation in europe, we have a i situation in europe, we have a supply from russia, and 40% of the uk supplies russian vessels and that has led to £150 a case, which is nearly three times an increase in the product and you have potatoes suffering with the fertilisers, so they will go 30 or 40% more. its, 1th they will go 30 or 4096 more. a lot ofthe they will go 30 or 4096 more. a lot of the fertiliser _ they will go 30 or 4096 more. a lot of the fertiliser comes _ they will go 30 or 4096 more. a lot of the fertiliser comes from - they will go 30 or 40% more. a lot of the fertiliser comes from eastern europe. of the fertiliser comes from eastern euro e. . . ., , , of the fertiliser comes from eastern euroe. . . ., , , ,

the 20th hoping it might jog people's memories. the school community and his friends are concerned, and i would reiterate that the police and my team are really concerned for his welfare at this time. if you have information or know the location of rashid, please contact us. the rise in rates of covid has forced a hospital in east london to cancel some operations. the chief operating officer of the homerton in hackney said the hospital had "taken down a number of theatre lists this week because of staff absence". the hospital said the situation isn't as bad as january and february. london's latest tourist attraction will start this weekend when visitors will be able to climb the masts of the cutty sark. with the help of safety equipment visitors can climb up the masts before abseiling back down. the masts are original, removed before the fire in 2007. the cutty sark transported tea from china and wool from australia to england in the 19th century. from friday the 1st of april, energy firms can increase bills by 54%.

for the possibility of some showers coming down on the chilly north—easterly wind, strengthening through the day and some of the showers a bit wintry possibly over the higher ground with sleet and hail and even some wet snow but most of it falling as rain. the wind will strengthen through the afternoon, gusting perhaps as high as 40 or 45 miles an hour, so while these will be the afternoon temperatures, it will feel colder than this with plenty of added wind—chill. overnight tonight, we see the winds ease down a little. still the possibility of some showers. there will be a frost tomorrow morning and temperatures dipping below freezing and watch out for some icy stretches. tomorrow, lighter winds, a bit more in the way of sunshine, still possibly some showers and temperatures will slowly recover over the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today. as ukraine braces itself for more attacks, the head of the uk's intelligence agency says some of vladimir putin's advisers don't appear to be telling him the truth. we have seen russian soldiers short of weapons and morale, refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment, and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft. it's the last day of free covid tests for most people in england, as the government pushes ahead with its plan for living with covid. the organisers of the oscars say will smith refused to leave the ceremony after hitting chris rock, and have started disciplinary procedings against the actor. the debate over transgender athletes in sport intensifies after british cyclist emily bridges is told

she can't now compete in her first women's event this weekend. we have been cranking down the temperatures over the past couple of days, there is a bit of a change but we have to look to next week for that to happen. i will be back with all the details. it's thursday, the 31st of march. advisors to russian president, vladimir putin, are afraid to tell him the truth about how badly the war is going in ukraine. that's the verdict from the head of the uk government's security and intelligence agency, gchq. in a speech in australia, sirjeremy fleming said russia appeared to have "massively misjudged the situation" and morale was low within the military. jon is here with that and all the other developments. there was a was going to be a war of words, and interpretation of how the

other side was doing as well. but development in ukraine, we were quite hopeful yesterday with some chat about some negotiations going positively? its, chat about some negotiations going ositivel ? �* . chat about some negotiations going ositivel ? . . ., chat about some negotiations going ositivel? . ., ,. , ., positively? a bit more scepticism toda , i positively? a bit more scepticism today. i think. — positively? a bit more scepticism today, ithink. sir— positively? a bit more scepticism today, ithink. sirjeremy- positively? a bit more scepticism| today, ithink. sirjeremy painting today, i think. sirjeremy painting a picture of russian forces in disarray, but the russians would just say that is propaganda. let's start by bringing up the map and fighting has continued across much of ukraine especially in the south and east despite moscow's promise to reduce its military activity. let's start down in the south east and mariupol which has suffered perhaps more than any other ukrainian city during this conflict. we can bring in the latest pictures from there. still under siege by the russians. barely a buidling left untocuhed. barely a buidling left untouched. you can see they've been burying the dead in the streets. the un estimates at least 5000 civilians have been killed here. with conditions detoriating there's another promise of a ceasefire this morning to allow people to get out. but such promises of course have

come and gone before. if we bring up the map again and focus on what's going on in the north around the capital kyiv and the city of chernihiv, both areas where russia pledged to scale back its operation, but as we heard from jonah earlier reports of shelling in both those regions this monring. reports of shelling in both those regions this morning. these pictures are from just north of kyiv where ukrainian forces are securing areas recaptured from the russians. too graphic to show but there are actually the bodies of russian soliders still lying on the ground. in his latest address president zelensky acknowledged the russians had pulled back from around the capital but only because he said ukrainian forces had forced them back. he pointed out though that they hadn't withdrawn from ukraine, they had merely shifted their focus to the east of the country and he cast doubt on russia's claim it's de—escalating the fighting. translation: we do not believe anyone. - we do not trust any beautiful

verbal constructions. there is a real situation on the battlefield, and now, this is the most important thing, we will not give up anything and we will fight for every metre of our land, for every person. meanwhile a new assessment of president putin coming out this morning from britain spy chief sirjeremy fleming, head of gchq in a speech he has given in australia. he claimed the russian president was isolated, fighting a personal war with his own advisors too scared to tell him the truth. let's have a listen to what he had to say. it increasingly looks like putin has massively misjudged the situation. it's clear he has misjudged the resistance of the ukrainian people. he underestimated the strength of the coalition his actions would galvanise. he underplayed the economic consequences of the sanctions regime. and he overestimated

the abilities of his military to secure a rapid victory. he went on to say russian soldiers were short on weapons and morale, refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipmnt and even shooting down their own aircraft. so painting a picture of russian forces in disarray but so clear so painting a picture of russian forces in disarray but no clear really on what direction british intelligence thinks president putin's intentions and military goals now are. that is something we have had to guess all the way through the conflict. we can speak now to our correspondent in moscowjenny hill. reflect for a moment on those comments with us, from sirjeremy fleming, suggesting a misjudgment of the situation by putin? it’s fleming, suggesting a mis'udgment of the situation by putin?_ the situation by putin? it's going to be really _ the situation by putin? it's going to be really interesting _ the situation by putin? it's going to be really interesting to - the situation by putin? it's going to be really interesting to see i the situation by putin? it's going i to be really interesting to see how the kremlin respond to those

comments. i imagine they will be dismissed as fake news, and of course, anyone in russia who is getting their main sales of information from this war from state television will be rather amused, if even those comments are reported here. —— will be rather confused. as far as state television says, the war in ukraine is going according to plan, they do not call it a war, vladimir putin has in effect banned the word. the spell special military operation even yesterday pundits were saying was a textbook to war. in the future armies will look to the russian operation as an example, one pundit said last night. the ministry of defence if an update saying how welove thing was going, —— how well everything was going. saying that russian troops were likely to withdraw around kyiv and

chernihiv and the ministry of defence say, this is all part of the plan, they were only really there in the first place to distract ukrainian troops away from eastern ukraine, which is anotherfocus ukrainian troops away from eastern ukraine, which is another focus of the russian operation. they have now said they to in their words, liberate the donbas region. the kremlin remains bullish about the way the operation is going and don't forget it is a criminal offence to discredit the russian military or spread what the kremlin would say is fake news about or they are doing. vladimir putin is keeping a tight lid on the narrative about his special military operation and any western criticism will be dismissed as fake news and propaganda. four million people have now fled ukraine for neighbouring countries since the start of the war, according to the latest figures from the un refugee agency. poland has taken in more than two million ukrainians. let's speak now to our correspondent kasia madera, who's in the city of lublin for us this morning.

since the beginning, you have seen, from the border in poland, and you have seen people coming over desperate for some kind of help, what is happening in lublin? meiji. what is happening in lublin? well, the bell is going, _ what is happening in lublin? well, the bell is going, so _ what is happening in lublin? well, the bell is going, so classes i what is happening in lublin? iii the bell is going, so classes are about to start. this is a primary school in the centre of lublin, and this is a snapshot of what is happening across this country. lots of children from refugee families are being brought into schools like this come integrated into the community. the population of this school has risen by 10%, imagine that, two extra classes of kids like this, who are now ingrained within the school community. i have to say, welcome to breakfast club. i have been dying to say that. these are all the children who are queueing up very patiently and very loudly to start their day. what is phenomenal

about what is happening in this school is that they are bringing in teachers who a few weeks ago where refugees themselves. tatiana has just started, this is herfirst day teaching at this school, imagine that, two weeks ago she was crossing the border herself with her family. today she is joining the staff community, the teaching community here at this school. good morning. it is your first day, how are you feeling? i will do a little bit of translation, she is feeling good, feeling very welcome and she is feeling very welcome and she is feeling needed, because there are a lot of kids here who have not got polish as the first language, they are similar spoken language is the very different retina. and all of those kids who i witnessed coming across the court border who are very quiet and traumatised, they are here

now and they are bubbling, full of energy. just to speak to tatiana, you are a teacher in ukraine, and you are a teacher in ukraine, and you are a teacher in ukraine, and you are being paid to do this? speaks polish this is the real practical element of what it means to come, to come to a new country, tatiana was describing how she is going to be paid a salary, to work here. she was a teacher in ukraine, she had to leave her home, she is now working

in this school, it has embraced, a huge group of local government and ngos have enabled this to happen. so tatiana will be beginning to start her first day at school. breakfast club, moving on, they are going on to other activities. it is a busy school, and the whole population of this school has risen by 10%. two classes of kids. the population of lublin has risen by 10%. so many people coming in and they want to stay near in ukraine because they want to go back to the country eventually. when they will be able to do that is uncertain. this is practical help, cash for work so people like tatiana can earn money, support theirfamilies here, can also help theirfamilies back support theirfamilies here, can also help their families back at home. because something that tatiana was telling me is her husband is still in ukraine. this is a snapshot

areas, a patchy frost, especially towards the north. there will be lots of dry weather in the forecast for today and also some sunny spells but do watch out for the possibility of some showers coming down on the chilly north—easterly wind, strengthening through the day and some of the showers a bit wintry possibly over the higher ground with sleet and hail and even some wet snow but most of it falling as rain. the wind will strengthen through the afternoon, gusting perhaps as high as a0 or 45 miles an hour, so while these will be the afternoon temperatures, it will feel colder than this with plenty of added wind—chill. overnight tonight, we see the winds ease down a little. still the possibility of some showers. there will be a frost tomorrow morning and temperatures dipping below freezing and watch out for some icy stretches. tomorrow, lighter winds, a bit more in the way of sunshine, still possibly some showers and temperatures will slowly recover over the weekend. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website

at the usual address. now though it's back to naga and charlie. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. sweeping changes to maternity services in england are expected after a report found catastrophic failures at an nhs trust, that may have led to the deaths of more than 200 babies. the inquiry into the uk's biggest maternity scandal, looked into nearly 1,600 incidents at the shrewsbury and telford trust over two decades. some of the report's main findings include: repeated failures in quality of care between 2000 and 2019. 201 babies could have survived had the trust provided better care — and the deaths of nine mothers raised significant and major concerns.

the report also found that babies' deaths were often not investigated, and grieving parents were not listened to, meaning "failures in care were repeated". kayleigh griffiths is one of the parents who spearheaded a campaign which led to the inquiry. her daughter pippa died of an infection atjust one day old in 2016. i think we were absolutely right to do what _ i think we were absolutely right to do what we did. absolutely right. and i_ do what we did. absolutely right. and i hope that all of the other families— and i hope that all of the other families that never had the opportunity to ask questions or did not get _ opportunity to ask questions or did not get the answer is that they should — not get the answer is that they should have had when they suffered their harm. — should have had when they suffered their harm, i hope that they get answers— their harm, i hope that they get answers and they finally understand what happened to their babies, or those _ what happened to their babies, or those mothers. we can speak now to the chair of the independent maternity review and author of the report, donna ockenden. good morning, to you. good morning.

chris rock arriving in boston for his first show since being slapped by will smith. i'm still devastated by what will did at the oscars. there was no place for it. i had so many people asking me to text them immediately after the show, everyone is dying to know what he has to say. he will definitely crack a joke |about it, and i think he'll getj a lot of support too, | because i don't think it's right to hit people - like what happened to him. it wasn't a great joke, - it was a little insulting, but... the comedian told the audience he was still processing what had happened. he didn't say whether he accepted smith's apology. oh, wow! was it acceptable for the actor to strike another man in the name of protecting his wife? that's the question that's prompted an outpouring of passionate polarised opinion in hollywood and beyond. some, who were in the room, say it was a deeply shocking, traumatic event that overshadowed the historic achievements of others, like the cast and crew of coda, the big winner of the night. when i was in the room it felt quite shocking and quite violent

and i felt like it took away the energy of the room. but now i feel like people should sort of let the academy deal with the consequences and we should actually celebrate the films that won. the academy has apologised to chris rock for what he experienced on the oscars stage and thanked him for his resilience. and it said will smith could be suspended or even expelled from the academy, a sanction only ever applied to a few of its members. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. we can speak now to entertainmentjournalist kj matthews who joins us from la. just so people will understand. in the early hours of this morning in the early hours of this morning in the uk, the statement from the academy in relation to what happened on the night, and it is a

significant change. they have said that we would like to clarify that mr smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused. now, that is quite something, isn't it? you ceremony and refused. now, that is quite something, isn't it?— quite something, isn't it? you know what makes — quite something, isn't it? you know what makes it _ quite something, isn't it? you know what makes it more _ quite something, isn't it? you know what makes it more interesting. - what makes it more interesting. remember, he refused and then went on to win _ remember, he refused and then went on to win the best actor oscar and gave _ on to win the best actor oscar and gave a _ on to win the best actor oscar and gave a very— on to win the best actor oscar and gave a very interesting, emotional speech— gave a very interesting, emotional speech and then, after the oscar ceremony. — speech and then, after the oscar ceremony, he and his entire family left and _ ceremony, he and his entire family left and went to the vanity fair 0scar— left and went to the vanity fair oscar party and danced the night away _ oscar party and danced the night away. there is tonnes of videos and still images — away. there is tonnes of videos and still images of him at this party, so not _ still images of him at this party, so not only— still images of him at this party, so not only did he not leave the oscars. — so not only did he not leave the oscars. he _ so not only did he not leave the oscars, he stayed and went to a party _ oscars, he stayed and went to a party afterwards. so it's really interesting what we are learning now each day _ interesting what we are learning now each day as — interesting what we are learning now each day as we get further away from the oscars _ each day as we get further away from the oscars. we each day as we get further away from the oscars. . ~ ., each day as we get further away from the oscars. ~ ~' ., , each day as we get further away from the oscars. . ~ ., , , each day as we get further away from the oscars. l ~ ., , , , the oscars. we know this inquiry is under way and _ the oscars. we know this inquiry is under way and l — the oscars. we know this inquiry is under way and i notice _ the oscars. we know this inquiry is under way and i notice the - the oscars. we know this inquiry is | under way and i notice the academy saying that disciplinary action could include suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions. all options open

equivalent of an obe. skye was nominated for the prize by a bbc breakfast viewer, who was impressed with the border collie's long career helping people across the lake district. our reporter, dave guest, is with skye and can tell us more. dave, we are not really looking at you right now. we are looking at skye. you right now. we are looking at s e. ., ., , , you right now. we are looking at skye. thanks, charlie. this is skye and she might _ skye. thanks, charlie. this is skye and she might well _ skye. thanks, charlie. this is skye and she might well have _ skye. thanks, charlie. this is skye and she might well have retired i and she might well have retired after— and she might well have retired after it — and she might well have retired after 11 years of saving lives and doing _ after 11 years of saving lives and doing dramatic deeds of heroism, but she still— doing dramatic deeds of heroism, but she still likes to come back here to the headquarters of kendal mountain rescue _ the headquarters of kendal mountain rescue team to visit old friends and colleagues — rescue team to visit old friends and colleagues. let's take a look at skye _ colleagues. let's take a look at skye on— colleagues. let's take a look at skye on her beloved lakeland hills. they completed many a mission together across the lakeland hills, and the bond between skye, the mountain rescue dog, and her handler john, was unbreakable. skye means everything to me. she is my friend, my partner on the hill, she has been out there trying to help save lives in wild and remote places.

during 11 years of service, skye attended around 200 search call—outs. skye retired from active service in september 2020 at the grand old age of 14 and a half. at the time she was believed to be the lake district's oldest and longest serving rescue dog. skye's retirement was marked with an appearance on bbc breakfast. let's meet her now with her owner, john leadbetter. that appearance prompted one viewer to recommend skye for an order of merit from the pdsa. skye's many achievements made her the ideal recipient. . she has retired but how has she taken _ . she has retired but how has she taken to— . she has retired but how has she taken to retirement? she . she has retired but how has she taken to retirement?— . she has retired but how has she taken to retirement? she doesn't do retirement- — taken to retirement? she doesn't do retirement. she _ taken to retirement? she doesn't do retirement. she is _ taken to retirement? she doesn't do retirement. she is still— taken to retirement? she doesn't do retirement. she is still curious i retirement. she is still curious when — retirement. she is still curious when i — retirement. she is still curious when i go _ retirement. she is still curious when i go and _ retirement. she is still curious when i go and rescues- retirement. she is still curious when i go and rescues with i retirement. she is still curious| when i go and rescues with the retirement. she is still curious - when i go and rescues with the team and team _ when i go and rescues with the team and team training _ when i go and rescues with the team and team training and _ when i go and rescues with the team and team training and she _ when i go and rescues with the team and team training and she still- when i go and rescues with the team and team training and she still goesl and team training and she still goes out on _ and team training and she still goes out on walks — and team training and she still goes out on walks even _ and team training and she still goes out on walks even though _ and team training and she still goes out on walks even though they i and team training and she still goes out on walks even though they are i out on walks even though they are slightly— out on walks even though they are slightly more _ out on walks even though they are slightly more sedate. _ out on walks even though they are slightly more sedate. not - out on walks even though they are slightly more sedate. not so i out on walks even though they are| slightly more sedate. not so much the big _ slightly more sedate. not so much the big mountains, _ slightly more sedate. not so much the big mountains, more- slightly more sedate. not so much the big mountains, more the i slightly more sedate. not so much the big mountains, more the low. the big mountains, more the low level—

refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment, and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft. it's the last day of free covid tests for most people in england, as the government pushes ahead with its plan for living with covid. with the cost of living crisis, fish and chip shops are really feeling the pressure. we are at this fish and chip processing plant in blackpool to find out how the fish and chips make it to your plate and how they are dealing with the cost pressures and attacks about to go up as well. —— and tax. tributes to tom parker, singer with pop group the wanted, who's died from cancer at the age of 33. colder air at the moment and we stay in it for the next couple of days. there is a change on the horizon, i will be back with the details.

it's thursday, the 31st of march. advisors to russian president, vladimir putin, are afraid to tell him the truth about how badly the war is going in ukraine. that's the verdict from the head of the uk government's security and intelligence agency, gchq. in a speech in australia, sirjeremy fleming said russia appeared to have "massively misjudged the situation" and morale was low within the military. jon donnison has more. few people get close to vladimir putin. the russian president is isolated, fighting a personal war with his own advisers too scared to tell him the truth. that is the assessment of britain's spy chief, delivered today in a speech in australia. he underestimated the strength of the coalition his actions would galvanise. he underplayed the economic consequences of the sanctions regime.

and he overestimated the abilities of his military to secure a rapid victory. we have seen russian soldiers short of weapons and morale, refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment, and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft. on the ground, north of kyiv, ukrainian forces are securing areas recaptured from the russians. their enemy still lying scattered around them. "they were cannon fodder, just kids sent here," alexander said, before a reminder that around the capital all is not yet quiet. explosions. and in the besieged and battered south—eastern city of mariupol, they have been burying the dead in the streets. the un estimates at least 5000 civilians have been killed here. and with conditions deteriorating, this morning ukraine's deputy prime minister says that buses are on the way to the city to once again try to evacuate civilians after another promised ceasefire.

in his latest address, president zelensky said the war was at a turning point, but cast doubt on russia's claim that it is de—escalating the fighting. translation: we do not believe anyone. - we do not trust any beautiful verbal constructions. there is a real situation on the battlefield, and now, this is the most important thing, we will not give up anything and we will fight for every metre of our land, for every person. but many have already left. the united nations says more than 4 million ukrainians have now fled to neighbouring countries. jon donnison, bbc news. let's speak now to our correspondent jonah fisher, who is in the western ukrainian city of lviv. good to see you. so much happening now, there are so many mixed messages, some hope yesterday, after the negotiations, and then

discussions, and scepticism today i think it is fair to say.— think it is fair to say. yeah, it is a complicated _ think it is fair to say. yeah, it is a complicated picture _ think it is fair to say. yeah, it is a complicated picture across . a complicated picture across ukraine. there was shelling overnight around kyiv, the capital, particularly in the north in irpin, one of the areas which has changed hands in the last few weeks, ukrainians saying they are back in control. also shelling reported around chernihiv, one of the cities where russia said it would be drastically reducing its operations. we heard from president zelensky overnight, talking about this supposed withdrawal of russian forces from around kyiv. he was very clear that he thought this was simply a response to ukraine defending kyiv very robustly, and he was now anticipating intensifying fighting in eastern ukraine, that these forces were effectively going to be redeployed to the east of the country to match with changing

objectives from the russians. there is one, i suppose, positive story today from variable, the bass rock from mariupol, a ceasefire will be in place to allow some civilians to get out from the place where conditions are very bleak. they have announced a humanitarian convoy which is due to start about now. we don't know whether it is actually happening or not at this point. many times in the past we have had these things announced, people are even gathered, only to find it has been cancelled because for one reason or another, often shooting or one side has not agreed to something, it doesn't happen. but there may be the prospect that some people will be able to get out of mariupol today and that would be a small bit of good news in an overall bleak

as far as we know, we don't know any different. but the tests stop from friday, the free tests stop from friday. it's more the worry of making sure we've got them when we need them, and we just have to be careful with them. where will we get the money? we don't have a choice, we've just got to find it. from tomorrow, covid will be treated more like flu with anyone sick asked to stay at home for five days. in england and wales, there will be no more mass testing centres in scotland and northern ireland following soon. free testing will continue for health care workers, hospital patients and those with weakened immune system if they have symptoms. instead, most people will have to start paying for a lateral flow kit, used at home from £2 per test at a local pharmacy. the concern from some is this will inevitably lead to a rise in infections. i think that's expected.

and i think we are going to see individuals who won't be able to afford those tests or won't be able to take time off, and i think to mitigate that risk, we've got the booster programme, we've got more boosters coming out for vulnerable individuals, and i think that's going to help offset some of that risk that we see. this change comes at a time when covid rates have been rising sharply, driven by a new offshoot of the omicron variant. the government says testing was costing billions of pounds a year that could be better spent elsewhere. and here, in hull's indoor markets, plenty of people think it's time to move on. yes, we've got to get used to living with it and accept things, and the government hasn't got a never—ending pot of money to pay for everything. yeah, i mean, obviously, if i'm ill, i don't come to work anyway. if i've got a cold, i'm not going to stand here with a streaming nose serving people food and cooking food. so ijust viewed it as the same as any other illness

which would keep me off work, really, if i caught it. with the testing, i personally think if somebody can't afford to buy- them, they should be provided, it should be provided. - personally i'm happy to pay for it because i can afford it. _ i think it should be a balance. that balance is something we as a society have been grappling with since the start of the pandemic. covid is not going away. this next step, the ending of free testing, feels like a significant moment, though, as we start to live alongside the virus. jim reed, bbc news. we're nowjoined by our resident gp dr helen wall. let's find out more about how this will work in practice. good morning. do you have any say in who is getting free tests now? you know your patients, if someone comes in and says, i should be getting free tests for whatever reason, . . . ?

absolutely not, it is very much top—down. we have been directed by the director —— mcrae department of health who will get the free testing and up until the last day or so, it has been under wraps for everyone who is going to be able to get free testing, even nhs staff had been unclear up until very recently as to whether they would be eligible. trier? whether they would be eligible. very secific whether they would be eligible. very specific conditions and that is in? it's very tight, i read a couple of articles speculating that it could be over 75 is who could get a free lateral flow test but it looks like, from what has been released on the department of health website, it will be very tight in times of very severely immunocompromised people, so anyone currently eligible for an anti—viral treatment, people with cancer, on chemotherapy, cancer treatment, people who had transplants, people who have immune conditions, so their immune system is severely weakened, will be eligible for free testing. but it will not by a large cover over 705,

it will cover those of copd and heart failure. people described as clinically extremely vulnerable, they will not be covered. it clinically extremely vulnerable, they will not be covered. if they are entitled _ they will not be covered. if they are entitled for _ they will not be covered. if they are entitled for free _ they will not be covered. if they are entitled for free tests, - they will not be covered. if they are entitled for free tests, what they will not be covered. if they i are entitled for free tests, what do they have to do? mr; are entitled for free tests, what do they have to do? my understanding is they have to do? my understanding is the government _ they have to do? my understanding is the government will _ they have to do? my understanding is the government will be _ they have to do? my understanding is the government will be writing - they have to do? my understanding is the government will be writing to - the government will be writing to everybody in the next week or so or from tomorrow to tell them they are eligible for free testing. even now, we are still not wholly clear who those people will be. we have been told it is likely to be those eligible for the anti—viral treatments... 50 eligible for the anti-viral treatments. . ._ eligible for the anti-viral treatments... ., , . ., treatments... so then that they come to ou or treatments... so then that they come to you or go — treatments... so then that they come to you or go to _ treatments... so then that they come to you or go to a _ treatments... so then that they come to you or go to a pharmacy? - treatments... so then that they come to you or go to a pharmacy? nhs - to you or go to a pharmacy? nhs staff say they — to you or go to a pharmacy? nhs staff say they have _ to you or go to a pharmacy? nhs staff say they have to _ to you or go to a pharmacy? nhs staff say they have to order them online as we do now, sol staff say they have to order them online as we do now, so i think it will be similar to that but they will be similar to that but they will have to be a method to prove they are eligible or put a coat in. have you been in a situation yet, well, you would not have been yet but from the first, no free nfts, ——

lfts, and employers say, if you have tested positive, if you think you have got symptoms, you have to test, but we're not going to for the tests, —— pay for the test, so people are going to come to you and say, please give me a test so i can work? �* .., ., say, please give me a test so i can work? �* ., ., ., ,, ., work? and we cannot do that, we know the cost of living _ work? and we cannot do that, we know the cost of living crisis _ work? and we cannot do that, we know the cost of living crisis is _ work? and we cannot do that, we know the cost of living crisis is an _ the cost of living crisis is an issue, patients say they cannot eat, they have to walk for miles because they have to walk for miles because they cannot put petrol in their car or cut down on shifts. there is no way that the population will have to pay for a test because they have to prioritise their money already. and prioritise their money already. and what prices — prioritise their money already. and what prices are we looking at? i had £5 per one, 17 forfour? i what prices are we looking at? i had £5 per one, 17 for four?— £5 per one, 17 for four? i have done some research, _ £5 per one, 17 for four? i have done some research, and _ £5 per one, 17 for four? i have done some research, and the _ £5 per one, 17 for four? i have done some research, and the cheapest i l some research, and the cheapest i have found is £2, high—street

they cannot do that from home, and they can't test, they will say, i've got a sniffle, it probably is not covid, cannot afford a test to confirm so i will go into work. obviously what is going to happen is, less people will test. what is the consequence of that? irate is, less people will test. what is the consequence of that? we are not auoin to the consequence of that? we are not going to know _ the consequence of that? we are not going to know what _ the consequence of that? we are not going to know what the _ the consequence of that? we are not going to know what the rates - the consequence of that? we are not going to know what the rates are. . going to know what the rates are. why does that matter? we going to know what the rates are. why does that matter?— going to know what the rates are. why does that matter? we need to be able to ian why does that matter? we need to be able to plan as — why does that matter? we need to be able to plan as a _ why does that matter? we need to be able to plan as a system. _ why does that matter? we need to be able to plan as a system. as _ why does that matter? we need to be able to plan as a system. as a - able to plan as a system. as a health care system, we plan, if the rates are going up, you said you saw me in the covid field sites doing vaccines. we knew the rates were escalating and we put extra resources into stepping out surge search and rescue nations, —— stepping up search vaccinations, because we knew it was coming. we have to be behind the curve now, we have to be behind the curve now, we have to be behind the curve now, we have to wait for it to hit hospitalisations which has a three week lag. the other thing that worries me is, if i get a notification that a patient who i know is at risk from covid, over 75

or long—term conditions, if i get notified they have covid, i will contact them a check they are ok, we have community services who check the elderly to see if they need a pulse oximeter or if they need extra services. and we are not going to know any more because we will not be that somebody has covid. lstallion know any more because we will not be that somebody has covid.— that somebody has covid. when he tested positive _ that somebody has covid. when he tested positive for _ that somebody has covid. when he tested positive for covid, _ that somebody has covid. when he tested positive for covid, do - that somebody has covid. when he tested positive for covid, do you i tested positive for covid, do you get a free test to check whether you are clear? ., get a free test to check whether you are clear? trio. so you have to buy are clear? no. so you have to buy them? the _ are clear? no. so you have to buy them? the government _ are clear? no. so you have to buy them? the government advice - are clear? no. so you have to buy them? the government advice is| are clear? no. so you have to buy. them? the government advice is to sta at them? the government advice is to stay at home _ them? the government advice is to stay at home for— them? the government advice is to stay at home for five _ them? the government advice is to stay at home for five days - them? the government advice is to stay at home for five days or- them? the government advice is to stay at home for five days or until l stay at home for five days or until you are feeling better. we know that people test positive long after five days so that advice could be arguing with. , ., ., ,, ., i. with. interesting to talk to you. thank you- _ owain has the weather. we have had sunshine, so we cannot blame it all on you. thank you! your suit matches the

gusts, 30, 40, 50 miles an hour across coastal parts of the east and south—east as we move through today. west is probably best as far as the drier, brighterweather west is probably best as far as the drier, brighter weather is concerned. but that said, many of us will see sunny spells wherever we are, really. temperatures after a chilly start in place is only getting to five or six celsius but we will get to ten or ii getting to five or six celsius but we will get to ten or i! especially further south. tonight, two things to keep an eye on. this feature creep back into the south—east, and we welcome this into the north west of scotland, in between these two, a combination of clear skies and further wintry showers, potentially getting to lower levels and temperatures getting down to —4 in places, a cold start tomorrow. feeling the chill. this feature moves to scotland, northern england and northern ireland. much of england and wales we drier and brighter but a few wintry showers.

ten or ii the top temperatures. high pressure, eyes to the west, this is trying to push in across the uk. drawing in a colder air mass from the north and will continue to do so as we go through the weekend. saturday not as windy because low pressure across europe is a bit further away and high pressure is trying to creep in. top temperatures on saturday, ten or ii. trying to creep in. top temperatures on saturday, ten or 11. similar on sunday. next week we will eventually see the temperatures creep up a bit. if the cold weather is not for you, a bit of a relief next week. we had a hint, that's all we needed. we had a hint, that's all we needed. we had a hint, that's all we needed. we had just a little hint! tributes are being paid this morning to the wanted's torn parker who has died at the age of 33. the singer was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour less than two years ago. last year, he spoke to bbc breakfast about his illness, and his pride at performing

at a very special charity concert. ladies and gentlemen, go wild for the wanted! # how do you get up from an all—time low? # i can't even find a place to start. it's been a bit of a journey to say the least. so i was diagnosed about 11 months ago, so, yes, it's been a crazy old journey, to be honest with you. # live today, kiss the light. chemo, the radiation was very tough. i have a lot of empathy with anybody who goes through it. my body was crying out for help by the end. it was just really intense. i don't really like talking about it because i'm all about the positive mindset, and it's not that i'm ignoring cancer, but ijust don't want to pay it any attention.

the more attention you pay it, the more it consumes your life, and i don't want it to consume my life. i've got kids, i've got a family. i spoke to the boys and i was like, listen, i would love for you to be involved in some capacity and they were all right, yes, absolutely, we want to sing. and i was like, 0k. it feels more special, the fact we were all together doing it and the boys are there to support me, and that's beautiful for me. # but if you go. # how do you get up from an all—time low? what was it like? you've never been apart. the boys have been amazing as a support network for me at this time, it's been a nice distraction and they've been such great support. just focus on every day. you know, none of us, any of us in this room, don't know what tomorrow holds

and i think that's the one thing i have taken from the situation. live today like it is your last. our entertainment correspondent colin patersonjoins us now. i remember watching that interview that you did there, and being so moved at the time, because he spoke so candidly and so optimistically. i love the way he said, cancer, and putting it to one side because life is what i am about and i'm taking it on board. they knew this was coming, the family, but does not make it any the family, but does not make it any the less sad. the family, but does not make it any the less sad-— the less sad. no, not at all. my heart absolutely _ the less sad. no, not at all. my heart absolutely goes - the less sad. no, not at all. my heart absolutely goes out - the less sad. no, not at all. my heart absolutely goes out to . the less sad. no, not at all. my| heart absolutely goes out to his family and his two boys. if i get all emotional through this, there are two caveats, number one, i am just off a flight back from la covering the oscars so i am very jet—lagged, and it's very close to my home because my two boys were

very young when they lost their dad to cancer. so my heart goes out to his family. when i spoke to was going through, how he was dealing with it, and what was so impressive was how he was able to live in the present and how he was enjoying every day, every hug with his kids. every time he walked out of his house and went into his garden, that the sun on his face, he would getjoy from that. and though he was looking forward to trying to get on stage and perform with the wanted, his band of old and he managed it. two weeks ago, today, he was on stage in liverpool, sitting on a throne, with the crowd showing their love to him. how much he meant to them how much the band meant to

them. write to the end he was living in the present, living his dreams. you made reference to this already, it is always remarkable when anyone, actually, this applies to everyone in the everyday lives, and then you have the added pressure of being in the public eye. and that decision, choice may be, to talk about your own family situation and your health publicly. we were speaking to a doctor earlier, hopefully that it will help someone in the future, thatis will help someone in the future, that is something that matters to people in desperate circumstances. absolutely, the hashtag on social media they used was positive parkers, they were determined to keep thinking about the future, even when deep down they knew the prognosis was desperate. but they just wanted to keep going forward and keep thinking of the future,

live in every moment like they could and also raising a lot of awareness, in particular about brain tumours and the lack of funding that they receive compared to other areas of cancer. he has written a book that is coming out injuly called, hope. all about how he wanted to be positive in those months. and i think it is really worth saying, charlie, at times when people get cancer and they get a dreadful prognosis, how often friends peel away, they don't want to know, they can't deal with it. ijust how impressive it is the way that the wanted really stuck by him. they were with him on the tour, at those rehearsals, they were helping with the family in the last few months and they were with him till the end, they saw him on the day he died. really impressive from the wanted how he was supporting the family. thank you, i know how heartfelt your thought on this one is a thank you

for that. choreographer and director, arlene phillips, worked with tom parker on grease the musical, and joins us this morning. morning arlene. very sad, the reason we are talking to you this money, but the little we learned when we talked to tom, he was absolutely determined to make the most of life. and you saw that up close. filth. determined to make the most of life. and you saw that up close.— and you saw that up close. oh, my goodness- — and you saw that up close. oh, my goodness- i— and you saw that up close. oh, my goodness. i actually _ and you saw that up close. oh, my goodness. i actually saw— and you saw that up close. oh, my goodness. i actually saw him - and you saw that up close. oh, my goodness. i actually saw him at - goodness. i actually saw him at pride of britain and he was smiling, and walking with a stick saying, i know, look at me! it was so touching and moving. ifirst worked know, look at me! it was so touching and moving. i first worked with know, look at me! it was so touching and moving. ifirst worked with him in grease, where he has to do the biggest dance in the musical. he said, i don't dance, i said, you have to. he said, i'm strong. we had

a wonderful partner working with him, and actually what happened, torn parker, who really could not dance, i think, has probably done the best danny cha—cha dance of anybody i have ever choreographed for. he worked so hard, he was phenomenal. and they did lifts like you cannot believe, and he was a strong company he worked so hard. he was determined he worked so hard. he was determined he was going to prove to me he was a dancer. and also, ijust have to say, he was so sweet and kind because in rehearsals in pimlico, if anyone was going across to the deli to get their lunch, their food, anyone was going across to the deli to get their lunch, theirfood, torn found a chip shop. where he had every day, chips with curry sauce. i had never had it. and he went out and said, i am getting new chips with curry sauce, you have to have it! and he brought back this stunning mess for me to eat, and it

was the first time someone had run out and bought lunch for me, and chips with curry sauce! he was a sweetheart. chips with curry sauce! he was a sweetheart-— chips with curry sauce! he was a sweetheart. ., �*, ., ., , ., , sweetheart. that's a lovely memory to have. sweetheart. that's a lovely memory to have- can — sweetheart. that's a lovely memory to have- can i _ sweetheart. that's a lovely memory to have. can i ask— sweetheart. that's a lovely memory to have. can i ask you _ sweetheart. that's a lovely memory to have. can i ask you about, - sweetheart. that's a lovely memory to have. can i ask you about, in - sweetheart. that's a lovely memory to have. can i ask you about, in his| to have. can i ask you about, in his final days, his ability to carry on performing, he did that show when he wasn't well, and you will know how much it takes out of someone to perform on stage that it was clearly something which meant the world to him, to carry on doing what he had done. he him, to carry on doing what he had done. ., , ,., , ., done. he absolutely loved performing- _ done. he absolutely loved performing. and - done. he absolutely loved performing. and he - done. he absolutely loved l performing. and he seemed done. he absolutely loved - performing. and he seemed to be done. he absolutely loved _ performing. and he seemed to be able to battle through anything and everything. and he cast it aside thatjust everything. and he cast it aside that just shocked everything. and he cast it aside thatjust shocked me. for me, who had worked with him, where he was fit and strong, and there he was, walking up the red carpet, absolutely determined. and with his

front sink outwards, introducing the chilly arctic air and also turning a little sleety over the higher ground and it has cleared southwards but has left behind a bit of cloud for southern areas, a patchy frost, especially towards the north. there will be lots of dry weather in the forecast for today and also some sunny spells but do watch out for the possibility of some showers coming down on the chilly north—easterly wind, strengthening through the day and some of the showers a bit wintry possibly over the higher ground with sleet and hail and even some wet snow but most of it falling as rain. the wind will strengthen through the afternoon, gusting perhaps as high as 40 or 45 miles an hour, so while these will be the afternoon temperatures, it will feel colder than this with plenty of added wind—chill. overnight tonight, we see the winds ease down a little. still the possibility of some showers. there will be a frost tomorrow morning and temperatures dipping below freezing and watch out for some icy stretches. tomorrow, lighter winds, a bit more in the way of sunshine, still possibly some showers and temperatures will slowly recover over the weekend.

up over 100% a bag. it's gone from around £8 to £18, and that's not including vat, so with your vat on top of that... we've never had anything go up so much in such a short space of time. sunflower oil to fry the fish, fertiliser to help grow the potatoes and even wheat in the batter. ukraine and russia are big exporters of lots of the ingredients in the nation's favourite dish. fish and chips on the beach. it's a british institution, but most of the cod and haddock sold our chippies isn't actually caught in these waters. more than a third of it is imported from russia. with sanctions and the hunt for alternative sources, the price of white fish has soared. we are hoping that we don't have to put our prices up too much. there's going to be a small increase, for sure. we've opened all day, every day for 30 years. we've thrived on being open all day, every day and we started to think
