good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today. ukraine's president zelensky accuses russia of genocide and describes the war as "the torture of an entire nation". the president makes an appearance, on video, at the grammys, urging musicians to show their support for ukraine. our musicians, they are wearing body armour instead of tuxedos. they sing to the wounded come in hospitals, even to those who can't hear them but their musical breakthrough anyway. calls for emergency service workers killed in the line of duty to be honoured with a special medal, from the father of a police officer shot dead while
6:01 am
attending a 999 call. it doesn't change anything. it doesn't bring people back but what it does say to the families, there is some recognition for the loss you have suffered. increase the price of eggs or suppliers will go bust. that's the warning from farmers to supermarkets, as fuel, energy, paper and feed prices soar. they want us to pay another 40p for a dozen. a pivotal win for celtic at rangers in the title race. but there's a police investigation under way after broken glass was thrown on to the pitch at ibrox. good morning. a much milder start to the day to day. we are frost free but it's going to be fairly cloudy and also rather damp. as we go through this week, parts of northern scotland in particular will see some significant snowfall. i will have all the details throughout this mornings programme. good morning.
6:02 am
it's monday 4th april. our main story. ukraine's president, volodomyr zelensky, has accused russian forces of committing genocide in towns near the capital, kyiv. he described the war as the torture of an entire nation. there's been condemnation of russia from leaders around the world including the prime minister borisjohnson, but the kremlin is continuing its offensive in the east of ukraine. simonjones has the latest. the withdrawal of russian forces from areas around kyiv reveals the destruction and a mounting death toll. more than 400 bodies have been recovered in the region, according to ukraine's prosecutor general. civilians apparently indiscriminately killed in the street by retreating russian soldiers. residents of the city of bucha have witnessed unimaginable horror. translation: i'm so worried. i'm already 90. i shouldn't have lived to see this. these satellite images from bucha are said to show evidence of a mass grave in the grounds of a church. it's a bleak landscape.
6:03 am
borisjohnson says russia's despicable attacks against innocent civilians are yet more evidence that president putin and his army are committing war crimes. the ukrainian president says it has to end. translation: i call on all our citizens and friends of ukraine | in the world who can join this work and help establish justice to do so. the world has already seen many war crimes at different times on different continents, but it is time to do everything possible to make the war crimes of the russian military the last manifestation of such evil on earth. russia's military focus is shifting to the east of ukraine. new footage from mariupol shows the devastation caused by more than a month of shelling. and this is what remains of a theatre used as a shelter which came under attack. hundreds are feared to have died. tens of thousands of people remain trapped in the city, struggling to find food and water.
6:04 am
there is now an exodus under way from the city of kramatorsk. emotional farewells. people here fear russia could soon attempt to besiege the city, making it a second mariupol. in moscow, some buildings display the letter z, a symbol of support for what russia has always labelled its special military operation. despite growing outrage, russia says the grim images emerging from cities like bucha are fake. there is condemnation of the kremlin�*s actions from leaders around the world with a threat of further sanctions. a call for president putin to face the consequences. but despite all the political pressure, the war goes on. simon jones, bbc news. our correspondent emma vardy is in the western city of lviv. thanks for being with us on bbc breakfast this morning. emma, we're hearing more evidence of atrocities allegedly committed by russian troops. how have people
6:05 am
in ukraine responded? well, there was another passionate video address from the ukrainian president last night. he has accused russian forces of a deliberate massacre. he said that he is hoping to prosecute these alleged war crimes in ukraine. he said he's forming a special team to do that investigators, prosecutors, and judges and says that process will begin immediately. there was also a video address by president zelensky played at the grammys in which she urged the world not to stay silent. now of course it is particularly those images from the town of bucha which are drawing such condemnation internationally. those pictures of civilian bodies strewn across the street, some of them with their hands tied. now, since these images have been emerging, they've been gathered byjournalists who have been taken to these areas as russian forces withdraw. there's been a strong denialfrom russia of these
6:06 am
alleged war crimes. russian statements saying the russian forces have not harmed any civilians, russia has even gone so far as to say these images are being staged as a ploy by the ukrainian regime to show western media. but of course, there has been lots of reaction from international analysts on this many of them saying the evidence is irrefutable. and that mounting condemnation is coming from world leaders today. lots of calls now for these alleged atrocities to be properly documented and for evidence to be gathered in the days ahead. emma, thanks very much for that. we will speak to you later on this morning. president zelensky also made a surprise appearance at the grammy awards overnight, via a pre—recorded message. our us correspondent peter bowes was watching. good morning, peter. peter, what did he say and how did the audience respond? good morning to you. yes, there has been speculation for a few weeks now that president zelensky come as a
6:07 am
former actor, that president zelensky come as a formeractor, might address that president zelensky come as a former actor, might address one of the hollywood award ceremonies. it didn't happen at the oscars last week, but at the grammys, it really was a sombre moment. he talked about the power of music during wartime. he talked about ukrainian musicians wearing body armour as opposed to tuxedos. and he posed a question to the attendees at the grammys, saying what is more opposite to music? silence. the silence of ruined cities, and killed people. and that was the thrust of his argument. he wanted the world to be aware and to find something, as he put it, to fill the silence. his speech was followed by a performance byjohn legend, joined by three ukrainian musicians on stage, and my sense was that this went down well. it was appreciated by the audience and it was a moment of reflection for many
6:08 am
people. actually, coming during a ceremony that was tinged with sadness for other reasons. foo fighters won three awards in the rock categories, just over a week after the death of their drummer taylor hawkins. the tributes were paid to him later on in the ceremony. there were some surprises in some of the other categories, but that moment, that speech by president zelensky i think was the highlight moment, it was the standout moment of the night. peter, thanks very much _ standout moment of the night. peter, thanks very much indeed. _ police have issued fines for lockdown breaches to some people who attended an event in downing street on the eve of prince philip's funeral last april. our political correspondent ione wells joins us now. good morning to you. ione, do we know who has received a fine and when? good morning, there still some things we don't know yet about these fines but we do know that some people have started to receive fines for that event which was on the 16th
6:09 am
of april 2021. it was a leaving do in number ten forjames slack, who was previously the director of communications in downing street, now a deputy editor at the sun newspaper. we know the prime minister wasn't at that event and hasn't been fined although he did apologise for these two events that took place on the eve of prince phillips' funeral in downing street, but i think a really significant just to reflect on what we know about the fact that these fines have been issued. firstly this is the first time we have really had confirmation from the police that lockdown rules are broken in number ten. we knew some signs had been issued for people who had attended other parties in the cabinet office so far, but this is the first time we've had confirmation that contrary to what the prime minister said at the time, number ten followed all the time, number ten followed all the rules, we know now that some people have been found to have broken rules in number ten itself, and secondly, i think worth bearing in mind, just how significant these
6:10 am
revelations where at the time. remember, for some tory mps, the revelations of parties that took place on the eve of prince phillips funeral where the straw that broke the camels back for them. they were pretty upset at the fact that these parties were going on on the eve of that funeral, many people drawing it into sharp contrast with the queen having to mourn her husband the next morning on her own. now, what we do know about these fines if they they have been issued by e—mail over the last couple of days, part of the first batch of 20 fines the metropolitan police have said they are issuing. we've seen the e—mails people have been sent at the moment and they essentially say the police found reasonable grounds to believe people have contravened the covid restrictions of the time. at the moment, no one necessarily will be named unless they challenge these fines in court. i've spoken to some top figures in the civil service who have said that officials for
6:11 am
example, civil servants who might receive a fine won't even be obliged to necessarily disclose that to their employer, however number ten and said the prime minister is fined or if simon case is fined, then they will tell us. simon case was that top civil servant who was initially meant to be investigating all these government parties during covid restrictions until it transpired there was actually a gathering in his office itself. it was then meant the investigation was taken over by sue gray. however, the daily telegraph has reported one name of somebody and said helen mcnamara, the former director of ethics of the cabinet office, she's been fined in connection with a leaving party on another day, june 2020. she has declined to comment on this report. naming people has been subject to some debate too, i think the sir keir starmer has said senior figures who are fined should be named, tory mps have called for that as well, with tories like steve bryant saying there needs to be more transparency
6:12 am
about this whole process. however, there is still significant concern among all sides that there may be a case of embassy officials, civil servants, being outed like this and named potentially carrying the can for some of those at the top as well. . ~ , ., for some of those at the top as well. . ~' , ., , for some of those at the top as well. . ~ ,, , . ., ., well. thank you very much for that. we'll speak — well. thank you very much for that. we'll speak to _ well. thank you very much for that. we'll speak to you _ well. thank you very much for that. we'll speak to you later _ well. thank you very much for that. we'll speak to you later on - well. thank you very much for that. we'll speak to you later on this - we'll speak to you later on this morning. elsewhere, conservative mp david warburton has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital after a parliamentary investigation was launched into his conduct. he is facing accusations of sexual harassment and illegal drug use and has been suspended by the conservative party pending an investigation into the claims. he has enormous amounts of defence he says. some babies are unable to recognise facial expressions and toddlers are struggling to socialise as a result of the pandemic, according to a new report by ofsted. ofsted inspectors visited 70 early years providers in january and february, including pre—schools, nurseries and child—minders. the chief inspector, amanda spielman, says it is clear the lockdowns have left "lingering challenges" for the
6:13 am
youngest children. we will be speaking to her a little bit later. easyjet has cancelled 100 flights today, including 62 from the uk, because of staff being off sick with covid. the airline, which is one of the biggest in europe, has apologised to passengers for the inconvenience. airports have also been struggling over the weekend, with long queues formed at check—in and security at terminals in manchester and heathrow. newsround, the world's longest running children's news programme is celebrating its 50th birthday today. the show was first broadcast in 1972 and presented byjohn craven. the legend. the legend john craven. it was initially only commissioned as a six—week experiment by the bbc�*s children's department, with the aim of using simple and appropriate language to cover complex or difficult events and has been running ever since. didn't he say hello again every episode? you're likely to bump
6:14 am
into plenty of people you know in your local supermarket, but hollywood a—listerjohn travolta is probably not one of them. i love this. shoppers at a norfolk branch of morrisons were more than a little surprised when the star dropped in to do some shopping over the weekend. part—time security guard gary middleton bumped into travolta near the bread counter and got this selfie with him. that was in fakenham, and he's also been spotted in wetherspoons in dereham apparently. come on, john. i like the fact gary the security guard got the old microphone on. i bet he is saying a john travolta is in the bread counter. i'll find, everyone. he's moving to the frozen food section, everybody. go and get yourself is there. didn'tjohn travolta have somebody to do that for him? he is in the cheese aisle. barrel, barrel, get to cold meats, get your photo.
6:15 am
it's definitelyjohn travolta. my goodness. now the weather with carol. good morning, very well thank you. hope you are ok too. 10—15, milder thanit hope you are ok too. 10—15, milder than it was this time yesterday for some of us. frost free and today is going to be a mild day anyway but it's fairly cloudy, it's breezy and we have got some rain. we have got to weather front we have got some rain. we have got to weatherfront sinking we have got some rain. we have got to weather front sinking south producing all this rain which will eventually clear and we have got another one coming in across parts of scotland and northern ireland. this rain turning heavier through the course of the day. in between, suncoast hill mist and fog, a fair bit of cloud around, and some drizzle. the best chance of bright breaks, parts of north—east england and scotland, east of wales, the west midlands and also across parts of the east moors. temperatures today, 11—15. cold enough for some snow showers through the course of the afternoon across shetland.
6:16 am
through this evening and overnight, you can see how the rain turns heavy across scotland and northern ireland getting into northern england as well but again some coast and hill fog. windy. some snow falling across scotland. here especially in shetland, the risk of ice. from the central lowlands south it's going to be another mild night. tomorrow, rain moving in across the northern half of the country. in the south, cloudy with drizzle. one or two brighter breaks but then heavier snow coming in across the highlands and the grampians. 10—20 centimetres. mostly on the tops of the hills. as we move through the afternoon that will continue and you can see we hang on to a favourite of cloud with brighter breaks in the south and highs up to 15, so the weather this week is going to be very changeable. qm. weather this week is going to be very changeable. 0k, changeable. thank yom — very changeable. ok, changeable. thank you. we'll— very changeable. 0k, changeable. thank you. we'll speak _ very changeable. 0k, changeable. thank you. we'll speak to - very changeable. 0k, changeable. thank you. we'll speak to you - thank you. we'll speak to you throughout the programme this morning. next, the story of roscoe the black labrador who has become a vital part of one police force's
6:17 am
fight against crime. highly trained detection dogs are used across the uk to sniff out drugs and explosives, and roscoe has helped the humberside force make 18 arrests over the last year. simon spark has been to see him in action. there's nothing sniffs out drugs like a police dog and roscoe is a specialist. this is operation forage with humberside police and thisr is our first glimpse atjust how many officers are involved. our first stop is western cemetery in hull and this is where roscoe comes in. we are walking behind him so he can do his work effectively. we are using roscoe. his ability to be able to identify drugs, whether they are hidden in tree bases or on individuals. and it's not long before his search is successful. we've come along, the dog's indicated on both the gentleman that were in the area and they've now been stop searched. one of them had cannabis on him. so we've seized that. that will go into property
6:18 am
for destruction. then roscoe sniffs out hidden items too. just a cannabis grinder, some cigarette papers. guys, push on. i wouldn't necessarily say it's a needle in a haystack. i think we tend to use it infrequently, so it's not a predictable tactic. we don't do it on specific days of the week. we don't do it at regular occurrences. just bear with us. yeah, search him. another indication from roscoe, but this man is clean. but just a faint smell of anything on his clothes gets him searched. i can see the guy you are talking about... before we leave the area, they sweep the cemetery again. can ijust grab two of you? and there is another find. the people that are involved in drug dealing tend to come back in after we left. the dog has indicated immediately on that individual so some of my colleagues are just conducting a search. just moving up the avenue. we've seen a similar kind
6:19 am
of issue on this avenue as we do on princess avenue. coming up to them now. there's another spot. he's just going to have a sniff. don't worry. 0h, mate, i'm not going to lie i got a bit of a cig in my pocket. confirmed again by roscoe. and we are not done yet. yeah, he's heading off straightaway. look at that. in just a few hours, 12 people have been stopped and searched. there have been six seizures of drugs including cannabis and spice, two cannabis warnings and one person will be answering further questions at the station for drug possession offences. we understand that we can't be here 2a hours a day to be able to deter all the time, but hopefully what we do on a semiregular basis does have an impact on the local community. one dog on the front line of tackling drug use and drug dealers on our streets. he is so cute. lovely dog.
6:20 am
that was simon spark reporting. let's take a look at today's papers. monday's front pages are dominated by stories of alleged atrocities carried out by the russian military on civilians in ukraine. under the headline "horror in bucha", the guardian reports mass graves have been found in the town north—west of the capital kyiv. the same image leads the "i" today. analysis by the paper also concludes that the russian invasion has "shattered" ukraine's infrastructure, including the destruction of 300 schools and 70 hospitals. "allies want putin to facejustice for war atrocities" is the headline on the telegraph, which reports that borisjohnson has promised to help bring charges in the hague. and one of the the most read stories on bbc online this morning is that powerful speech to the grammy awards by ukraine's president zelensky. some very important stuff going on
6:21 am
the world the moment but also the first golfing major of the year, men's, which takes place this week. famous masters, augusta. i have heard of that. i know occasionally, not you, people complain when i talk about this but this is important because remember last february? tiger woods had quite a significant car accident and it was so grim... not his first. they thought they might have to amputate one of its legs, but now over the course of his career he's had five operations on his back, all over his body on his knee, but he actually turned up at augusta yesterday which was a surprise and started practising. not confirmed yet whether he would take part. it starts on thursday but he was seen on the back nine hitting balls on the range, so potentially there is a big story there. how excited are you about the masters? can you not tell? is it like christmas? i have been giddy for a month in the build—up to it. ijust
6:22 am
love it. the six nations for me says it's a new year, and i like the fact it's a new year, and i like the fact it finishes around my birthday, a build to my birthday, and then the masters is like spring has sprung. we are ready now. it's glorious. and it looks it looks fantastic. scott sheth, the number one, i'm not sure how well the british golfers will do but tiger woods, 60,000 people turned up for the first day of training today, practice, and many eyes will be on him if he confirms he plays. that will be a big story. he doesn't have to confirm yet but can confirm at the end of the week. because of supply chain issues they haven't got their famous ice cream sandwich available this year. the lucky people who are going, very lucky people who are going, very lucky indeed. you're watching bbc breakfast. it is almost ten years since police officers nicola hughes and fiona bone were murdered while responding to a bogus 999 call in greater manchester. ever since, nicola's father bryn has campaigned tirelessly and is now launching a new initiative to see

emergency workers, who are killed in the line of duty, honoured with a special medal. bryn willjoin usjust after eight this morning, but first let's hear him describe the journey he's been on to keep his daughter's memory alive. nicola was a fun, bubbly, intelligent, smart, naive, you name it, she was everything rolled into one. she had a wicked sense of humour but a caring side. if you saw somebody in trouble she would want to help them. probably that's why she joined the police. she looked beyond the excitement to the fast chase things. she looked at the fast chase things. she looked at the real reason she wanted and be a police officer, to help people as much as she could. tiara police officer, to help people as much as she could.— much as she could. two police officers have _ much as she could. two police officers have been _ much as she could. two police officers have been killed - much as she could. two police officers have been killed in - much as she could. two police - officers have been killed in greater manchester after responding to what turned _ manchester after responding to what turned out _ manchester after responding to what turned out to be a bogus 999 call. fiona _

6:26 am
pc nicola hughes memorialfund but we help children from many walks of life who have lost a parent through murder or manslaughter. it's been phenomenal. it has been a journey into hell. but it's not over yet. not by a long way. this memorial garden was built in honour and memory of nicola and fiona. for us, it gives us that peaceful tranquil place and places like this mean a lot, as well. but i don't think it's enough. i can't take this home every night. i can't look at this every night. i can't look at this every night and i think to have the metal to honour nicholas memory, that's what we want. what we are trying to do but looking introduce a medalfor the emergency service workers who have been killed on duty and lost their lives on duty, obviously it will be a posthumous award, it doesn't change anything. it doesn't bring people back but what it does
6:27 am
say to the families, there is some recognition for the loss you have suffered, there is a medal at the end of the day, a reward, no matter which way you dress it up, it still says to those families we are still thinking about you. and we recognise the sacrifice that notjust your loved ones made, but the sacrifice you have made. at the end of the day, i'm still suffering from the sacrifice. i'm saving a life sentence of grief, if you like. and no doubt otherfamilies sentence of grief, if you like. and no doubt other families will be also. i think she would be proud. i think she would say, dad, you need to stop now and have a rest because you're not getting any younger. nicola always said you're not peter pan, dad. ithink nicola always said you're not peter pan, dad. i think she would say that now. he will bejoining us on he will be joining us on the programme later on this morning. a packed show for you until 915.
6:28 am
time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. an 80—year—old woman stabbed to death in her home has been named as shotera bibi. police, paramedics and an air ambulance were called to landseer avenue in manor park on saturday morning. a man aged in his 30s has been arrested. farmers around the capital are facing a squeeze from the cost of living crisis — which some fear could drive them out of business. the price of raw materials is soaring, while shops and supermarkets are desperate to keep the cost of produce down to help hard—hit families. meanwhile recruiting seasonal labour from abroad is proving difficult post—brexit. some are encouraging people to shop local to support farmers. i don't think everyone's going to turn vegan, so... it would be nice for people to start thinking more locally than abroad and cheap, you know, people start
6:29 am
paying more for premium quality produce, i think. stalking offences in london are rising, according to the suzy lamplugh trust — who support victims of the crime. it's why they say they're looking to train 10,000 people a year to deal with the problem. research shows 80% of women have experienced harassment in public spaces, with even more saying they've experienced some form of unwanted behaviour on public transport in the last five years. nearly half of london's councils have not published a strategy for transitioning to electric vehicles, despite the government encouraging all councils to do so. the discovery was made by the campaign group faircharge through a freedom of information request. owners of electric vehicles without off—street parking rely on public charge points. well if you're heading out on the tubes this morning, this is how things are looking. there are minor delays on the northern line between edgware and camden town with an ongoing part closure. here's the weather now
6:30 am
with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. it is all change weather—wise again today across the capital. a westerly wind blowing now, dragging on milder air, but it will be wet and windy at times, systems moving on from the atlantic. it's a much milder starter than day, temperatures a good few degrees above freezing so frost free. lots of cloud and showery outbreaks of rain for a of cloud and showery outbreaks of rainfora time of cloud and showery outbreaks of rain for a time this morning as well. that rain band clears and as well. that rain band clears and as we head through the morning, it's a drier second half of the day, but there will be a lot of cloud around, watch out for one or two showers following behind. there could be if few brighter spells and temperatures will rise to around 1a or 15. so a lot milder. but it will be rather windy, brisk westerly blowing, gusts as high as 30 or a0 miles an hour. as we head through this evening, the wind will ease down a touch, we will
6:31 am
keep the layers of cloud, they could be some patchy rain on and off, very mild, temperatures falling to high single figures. tomorrow we will do the whole thing a love again with some patchy rain, the winds will be lighter, brighter spells in the afternoon with highs of 15. i'm back in half an hour. you can stay up to date on our website or by following us on facebook and instagram. now though, here's sally and dan. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. some with dan walker and sally nugent. of the main sto morning. there's mounting evidence that russian soldiers have committed atrocities as they retreated from the area around the ukrainian capital, kyiv. images from the town of bucha show widespread destruction and bodies lying in the street, some with their hands and feet bound. russia says images of civilian killings are �*fake'. our correspondentjeremy bowen sent us this report from kyiv, which you may find upsetting.
6:32 am
the last bleak kick of winter throws any euphoria left from ukraine's successful defence of kyiv. the war is switching to the east. both sides will learn lessons. the russians left their armour vulnerable to drone artillery and fast—moving infantry with anti—tank weapons. you can see the results scattered across the roads and villages around the capital. this was a russian supply column on the main highway that runs west from kyiv. the lorries were carrying ammunition — artillery shells are scattered across the road. russia will find logistics less challenging in the east, closer to its border. a few minutes further down the road in the village of kalynivka were a few civilians, a rare sight, so we stopped. iryna wanted to talk
6:33 am
about the 10th of march, the day the russians killed her only son, oleksiy. the two lived here just 500 metres from hisjob changing tyres at a garage. iryna led the way to her son's bedroom, damaged by shelling weeks after he was killed. we were the first outsiders she had seen since the russians left on friday. and the story of her son's death spilled out. translation: the pain is so bad. now i'm all alone. my son was young, 27 years old. he wanted to stay alive.
6:34 am
oleksiy was born when iryna was 18. her life has not been easy, but she dreads the future without him. he said he has served in the army, but that day he was going to work at the garage. after they killed her son, she fled and russian soldiers took over the house, and judging by the rubbish they left behind them, they were having a good time. loads of bottles of vodka, jack daniel's, bell's whisky, beer, you name it. it is hard to understand human behaviour like this, but what makes it really tragic is that there are so many accounts of it happening where russian soldiers have been and are now in ukraine. on her own, iryna buried oleksiy in the garden — after she had brought his body back from the road in a wheelbarrow. translation: i covered the grave with a blanket| to protect it from the dogs.
6:35 am
he isn't in a coffin. i had to roll him in a carpet. did you say to the russians, why did you kill my son? translation: they were in jeeps, with guns. - they killed him and fled. how can i talk to such morons? i want them dead. i want their children to lie like my son. close to where oleksiy was killed, opposite the house, ukrainian troops were salvaging russian ammunition to use it against them. they will need it if russia launches a spring offensive in the east. five weeks of war, but it only takes a moment to destroy the family. iryna found another picture of her son. "this is my love," she said. "my sweetheart."

6:37 am
blockade. russia stopped allowing any citizens and will not allow to enter any citizen, even local, even with information that they were born here or have family living here. so they do not allow to provide any humanitarian help, food, water, medicine. so we estimate that about 150,000 citizens are still in mariupol, and they are just surviving, they are living like mice underground in shelter, just to survive. the ukrainian army continues to defend our city, and ukraine still controls the centre of the city, industrial parts of the city, and russia temporarily occupied some outskirts. we know from everything — occupied some outskirts. we know from everything we _ occupied some outskirts. we know from everything we have _ occupied some outskirts. we know from everything we have heard - occupied some outskirts. we know| from everything we have heard that there are huge problems with

6:43 am
terms of the action, celtic went six points clear at the top of the scottish premiership with a 2—1win at ibrox. but it was overshadowed by broken glass thrown onto the pitch at half—time, and a member of the celtic backroom staff being hit by a glass bottle. in glasgow and in football, there are a few days more intense. but in the old firm, it can go too far. celtic�*s joe hart the old firm, it can go too far. celtic�*sjoe hart came out for the second half and checked the goalmouth to find glass. utterly ridiculous. shards of broken bottles thrown on at half—time that took a full suite to clear. celtic said a member of their backroom staff was also hit by a glass bottle. police scotland say inquiries into what happened are ongoing. this was meant to be the day the old firm was renewed by the closest title race
6:44 am
for years, the return of away fans. early on, aaron ramsey scored for rangers, who won the league last year, but celtic now have new resolve. unbeaten since september, they found a way back here, with two goals to turn it round. they are now clear at the top. a lead of six points with six to play, and to keep their cool in this intensity, may just win them the league. the push for places in the champions league is also heating up. arsenal will have the chance to move back up into the all—important fourth place in the premier league tonight, if they avoid defeat at crystal palace. that spot is currently occupied by tottenham, who came from a goal down to thrash newcastle 5—1. it was level at half—time but spurs ran away with it after the break — harry kane setting up matt doherty. and son heung—min had a great game, setting up one goal and scoring one himself. that's five wins in six league
6:45 am
games for tottenham. west ham are hovering just outside the top four, after a 2—1win over everton — aaron cresswell with a wonderful free kick to open the scoring. they're now sixth, but everton are stilljust one place above the relegation zone and they have a big game coming up on wednesday against burnley, who are second from bottom. how far will it go, what will it take, wejust have how far will it go, what will it take, we just have to focus on ourselves, the next game is huge because it's brimming and also its because it's brimming and also it's our next game and after that we move on to manchester united. liverpool women are back in the super league after two years away — they won the championship title with victory over bristol city. and chelsea are back on top of the wsl. arsenal had briefly taken top spot after beating leicester, but chelsea soon reasserted themselves with a 5—0 win over reading — beth england scoring twice. chelsea are one point clear of arsenal with four games left.

6:49 am
more persistent as we go through the course of the day. here is the rain continuing to clear the south of england, south wales as well. leaving behind a lot of cloud, some coastal and hill mist and fog, especially in the west. the best chance of brighter breaks will be across parts of eastern scotland and north—east england, east wales, the west midlands and also parts of east moors. looking at temperatures roughly 9 to 15 celsius but called across shetland, where the rain showers this morning increasingly will turn wintry as we go through the afternoon. wherever you are, it's going to be a windy day and as we head on through the evening and overnight, it still is going to be rather windy. still damp as well with a lot of cloud, some drizzle in the south, the heavier rain coming in across northern ireland, northern england and scotland and we start to see some snow across the highlands and the grampians with the risk of ice and untreated surfaces and chicken. but for most it will not be a cold night away from the north.
6:50 am
tomorrow, starting cloudy, some brighter breaks developing, with some drizzle and hill and coastal fog but it's the snow i want to draw your attention to. again, across the highlands and the grampians, we could see 10 to 20 centimetres of snow on the tops of the hills. that might lead to some disruptions, certainly if you're travelling, something to watch out for. as we come south, some cloud breaking up and we will see some sunshine coming through. still cold in the northern half of the country, as you would expect with all the snow, temperatures up to about a celsius, but in the south, 10 to 15. from tuesday into wednesday, low pressure moving from the west towards the east, dragging the weather fronts with it so we will see some rain, eventually clearing the south and behind it will be a lot of showers. so you can see where we have got the shower is moving in across scotland, england and also wales, still some snow across the north of scotland, some of that getting down to modest
6:51 am
levels, and it will be a windy day. there is the potential for gusts to gale force across southern and central and northern scotland as we go through the day. and again in the north, it is going to feel cold, temperatures for or five celsius. further south, temperatures for or five celsius. furthersouth, milder temperatures for or five celsius. further south, milder conditions but the cold air does sink further south during thursday. we hang onto some milder conditions in the far south but by that we get to freddie, weather front coming to southern areas could bring in some rain, possibly some sleet and snow into the south and it's going to turn colder. we have been warned! thank you. we've been talking a lot about rising prices recently — today poultry farmers are warning we may need to pay more for our eggs very soon. nina's here with the details. good morning. you love an egg in all its forms. today producers say the industry is facing "catastrophe"
6:52 am
unless something is done to help them out. poached, fried or scrambled, we eat more than 13 billion of these things — eggs — in the uk every year. today producers say the industry is facing "catastrophe" unless something is done to help them out. why are they struggling so much? the cost of chicken feed has gone up by 50% in the past two years. and its expected to rise even more because russia and ukraine are major exporters of grain, and the war has obviously affected their supply. then there's fuel bills — we've all seen ours go up, but at least we have a cap in place. but there's no cap on the increase in prices for businesses. on top of that the price of diesel, petrol and other transport costs have also risen. and then there's paper costs. making an egg box has risen by more than 15%. you can imagine the pressure
6:53 am
on farmers — especially as they're also dealing with the biggest outbreak of avian flu on record. farmers like daniel have been forced to keep their chickens inside. that means they can no longer label their eggs as free range. the cost of feed is up a0% of the last 12 _ the cost of feed is up a0% of the last 12 months. electricity is up 200%— last 12 months. electricity is up 200% since march 2020, commercial users, _ 200% since march 2020, commercial users. we _ 200% since march 2020, commercial users, we are not affected by domestic— users, we are not affected by domestic price caps. you can imagine what its— domestic price caps. you can imagine what it's like — domestic price caps. you can imagine what it's like for commercial businesses. labour has gone up because — businesses. labour has gone up because the staff need to be paid more, _ because the staff need to be paid more, quite rightly. and the price of the _ more, quite rightly. and the price of the chickens has gone up as well. the food _ of the chickens has gone up as well. the food they eat has gone up as welt _ the food they eat has gone up as well. performers like ourselves, already— well. performers like ourselves, already we are seeing the national

much they can pass onto consumers given the difficulties they know shoppers are facing. that's the thing, which big supermarket must the first to say there will hike up the prices? think there will hike up the prices? think the reality is, all of our staples are set to increase even further. a tough few weeks and months ahead for lots of people. an official portrait of the late comedian eddie large has been unveiled in blackpool, to mark the second anniversary of his death. eddie was best known for his partnership with syd little — 15 million viewers watched their tv show in the 1980s. the painting is now on display at the winter gardens, as kevin fitzpatrick reports. another curtain call for one of blackpool�*s most popular comedians. cheering as part of a double act, little and large, eddie performed more than a thousand times in blackpool and headlined six summer season is in the '70s

7:12 am
waiting hours to check—in and get through security. three hours and ten minutes coming into the airport into the departure lounge to get through security. about 15 minutes till boarding the plane so make sure you leave lots of time before your flight time when you leave home. we can speak now to simon calder, travel correspondent for the independent, who joins us from heathrow airport. you're not in a queue because you are standing outside. simon, it has been a pretty miserable weekend for lots of travellers. what's going on? well, effectively commits a combination of things. a perfect storm if you will. we have got a very high levels of covid in the nation in general as you have been reporting, and that of course is affecting the transport industry, the airline, just as it is everybody else. but there are also underlying
7:13 am
things which go back to the start. for a lot of families the easter holidays is the first time for two years they'd been able to get away. it's a wonderful opportunity. no restrictions coming back into the uk. other countries such as france opening up, relaxing their rules, so it's a great time to get away. a huge amount of demand, but unfortunately, the airlines which effectively were almost shut down during covid, don't seem to have the people in place to cope. everything from the security staff at the airport, we reported in long queues there, to cabin crew, pilots, ground staff, an awful lot of people who have left the industry, and it's not simply a matter of saying right, we'll get some new people in. they've got to be highly trained. lots of important roles. they got to be security cleared. while all of
7:14 am
thatis be security cleared. while all of that is going on, unfortunately we are seeing many, many cancellations. here at heathrow for example, overnight, british airways cancelled yet more flights. about 90 cancellations to and from heathrow so far today. some of those notified a couple of weeks in advance, but there have been some short notice cancellations. at manchester, bristol, edinburgh, belfast, easyjet having big problems. i was bristol, edinburgh, belfast, easyjet having big problems.— having big problems. i was flying back into heathrow _ having big problems. i was flying back into heathrow over - having big problems. i was flying back into heathrow over the i having big problems. i was flying i back into heathrow over the weekend and i think it took about two and a half hours to get from the point of the plane landed to get out of the airport. huge queues at passport control. what about people going the other way waiting for hours to check their baggage and get on a flight? if they miss a flight, what are their rights and what about those other people who might be missing flights? other people who might be missing fliuhts? ., , ., other people who might be missing fli.hts? ., , ., ., , other people who might be missing fliuhts? ., _, ., , other people who might be missing fli.hts? ., ,., ., , ., flights? that is a really tricky one because if your _ flights? that is a really tricky one because if your flight _ flights? that is a really tricky one because if your flight is _ flights? that is a really tricky one because if your flight is cancelled j because if your flight is cancelled by british airways or easyjet it's very straightforward, they got to
7:15 am
get you to where you are going. they will pay you compensation, have to put you up in a hotel, but if it's simply a long queue, then there is no strict rules. hopefully the airline will put you on another flight if they got one. hopefully you won't have to pay again, but i've had many people getting in touch over the weekend just saying their whole weekend, their whole trip has been ruined, it's their whole weekend, their whole trip has been ruined, its cost them hundreds and thousands of pounds sometimes, and there is no recompense. you might get something from your travel insurance but frankly, if i wear using manchester or stansted or edinburgh, i would probably at this stage be booking fast track security it costs you about £a at manchester, £5 at stansted, £6 edinburgh, and most people will think that a pretty good investment. ,, ., ., people will think that a pretty good investment-— people will think that a pretty good investment. ,, ., ., �* , investment. simon, also we've seen some lona investment. simon, also we've seen some long queues — investment. simon, also we've seen some long queues at _ investment. simon, also we've seen some long queues at dover - investment. simon, also we've seen some long queues at dover over- investment. simon, also we've seen some long queues at dover over the j some long queues at dover over the weekend. what is the issue there? is weekend. what is the issue there? is that connected? no, that's down to

7:17 am
in speech and language, while others say some babies struggle to respond to basic facial expressions, which could be caused by reduced social interaction. we're joined now by ofsted chief inspector amanda spielman. good morning to you. thank you very much indeed for talking to us on bbc breakfast this morning. just run me through what the headlines are of the report you are releasing today. thank you, yes, what we are saying is we've been looking at the recovery of young children's learning in early years of schools and colleges and seen lots of good work but there's still some real challenges for many children. the youngest children i think have been an interesting case study this time around. we are still seeing speech and language delays, we are seeing some of the youngest children having difficulty in interpreting facial expressions. we are seeing difficulties with social interaction, social confidence, just behind where you would normally
7:18 am
expect them to be, and also in physical development, crawling, walking, motor skill development and perhaps related to that also greater obesity. and finally, in early years, picking up on less self—care skills, potty training, independence, and all of this is adding up to a picture of lingering challenges for many children. hagar challenges for many children. how lona challenges for many children. how long lasting _ challenges for many children. how long lasting make _ challenges for many children. how long lasting make these problems be? it is impossible to say. as i said, we are seeing a lot of good work in nurseries and schools and colleges. i think the thing we are hearing most often is the external services in which they rely, things like speech and language therapy, mental health services, it's hard to get these, there's often long delays, that's what we really hearing. but in nursery schools, what's most important is making really good use of the time children have there, planning, making the best use of every minute. istate

well, introducing them gently in the structured way childminders in nursery schools do is very good for them. it takes time and it takes repetition and practice so just getting into those routines for the children who got them at home, that will be really helpful. in nursery, when they start school, all the way through. when they start school, all the way throu~h. ., ., when they start school, all the way throu~h. ., ,, i. , when they start school, all the way throu~h. ., ,, ,, , . julie robinson, who owns eagley school house nurseries joins us now. good morning. i know you were listening very carefully to what amanda was saying there. give us an idea of the experience you and other people are having at your nursery at the moment? what's going on? exactly what amanda — the moment? what's going on? exactly what amanda said, _ the moment? what's going on? exactly what amanda said, we've _ the moment? what's going on? exactly what amanda said, we've seen - the moment? what's going on? exactly what amanda said, we've seen a - what amanda said, we've seen a decline in impressive language and social skills and that self—regulation children get. if anything, what covid has produced for us, is the essential early years practitioners working with these

children developing their skills. we have been linking with parents and doing little courses and workshops to support parents in what you need to support parents in what you need to be doing at home and ultimately it can be about reading to your children, telling stories, trying to get them interacting socially with other children, and that's what early years does. we develop their children for the future, the foundation years.— children for the future, the foundation years. children for the future, the foundation ears. ., . ., ., foundation years. how much of an im act foundation years. how much of an impact has _ foundation years. how much of an impact has the — foundation years. how much of an impact has the pandemic - foundation years. how much of an impact has the pandemic had i foundation years. how much of an impact has the pandemic had on l foundation years. how much of an i impact has the pandemic had on your nursery? what changes did you have to make? for nursery? what changes did you have to make? ., , , to make? for us, seeing the difference — to make? for us, seeing the difference in _ to make? for us, seeing the difference in children - to make? for us, seeing the difference in children estate | to make? for us, seeing the i difference in children estate for key workers to the children who returned, you can really see the difference there.— returned, you can really see the difference there. give us an example in what way- — difference there. give us an example in what way. children _ difference there. give us an example in what way. children not _ difference there. give us an example in what way. children not being i difference there. give us an example in what way. children not being able| in what way. children not being able to settle, in what way. children not being able to settle. not _ in what way. children not being able to settle, not wanting _ in what way. children not being able to settle, not wanting to _ in what way. children not being able to settle, not wanting to be - in what way. children not being able to settle, not wanting to be left i to settle, not wanting to be left with anybody do is imagine for them overnight their world was turned upside down, all they've seen as their parents, the house, may be a stroll around the block, not even interacting in local parks, seeing theirfriends, going to parties, so that's disappeared. so it's taken us a long time to sort of get your children, especially young babies
7:22 am
and toddlers, settled into nursery. they have been more anxious, separation anxiety is huge. we know when children's brains are scared, flight or fright mode, they don't learn all down and be with their parents. we've had to do things like extra settling sessions because parents can't be in the setting any more, all of that stock, salt almost like handing your child over at the door, you take the child and goodbye parents come off you go. that has been huge and we had to work really, really hard at embedding those relationships with parents at the front door. ., ., ,, relationships with parents at the front door-— relationships with parents at the front door. ., ., ,, ., front door. you talk there are bad ractices front door. you talk there are bad practices at _ front door. you talk there are bad practices at home, _ front door. you talk there are bad practices at home, so _ front door. you talk there are bad practices at home, so what i front door. you talk there are bad practices at home, so what else l front door. you talk there are bad l practices at home, so what else can you do to reverse it and how, properly quite a few parents are concerned about their children? is it something that can be accelerated and catch up to where you should be? i hate the word catcher because i don't like the idea of pressure on children, should be about this, these children have been forced to catch up on all sorts of things, but parents play a huge role and i think developing that partnership with the
7:23 am
nursery, with a childminder, whoever they are going to, and looking at what are they doing in the nursery at that time? how can they work together? you learn about characters, story sequencing, print conveys meaning, and it's talking to them about that in learning new words but in a social context as well. as amanda said, creating those situations where they have to share and take turns because that is huge. so it has led to more impact in behaviour management because children now don't know how to share. it's teaching those skills really for children and parents. what about parents? i think sometimes parents can feel quite a lot of guilt sometimes when they have to do for whatever reason, for work, leave their child in a child care setting. this must make it even tougher at times if their child is unsettled?— tougher at times if their child is unsettled? , ., , ,., , unsettled? yes, absolutely. often we sa the unsettled? yes, absolutely. often we say the children _ unsettled? yes, absolutely. often we say the children adapt _ unsettled? yes, absolutely. often we say the children adapt quicker- unsettled? yes, absolutely. often we say the children adapt quicker than i say the children adapt quicker than the parents. you do have that guilt, trying to balance work life and
7:24 am
leaving your child in nursery, but i think parents have done a good job, they've had to step in, and look after their children and try to educate them while we had the pandemic, they haven't had the skills. but i would say develop those relationships with the key workers, the nursery, the care setting, and find out what's going on and hopefully, as we are coming out of this, you will see more settings inviting parents in, talking to them about what they are doing in sharing those ideas so they can be on board.— can be on board. does it feel like uuite a can be on board. does it feel like quite a big _ can be on board. does it feel like quite a big job — can be on board. does it feel like quite a big job for _ can be on board. does it feel like quite a big job for you _ can be on board. does it feel like quite a big job for you and - can be on board. does it feel like quite a big job for you and the i quite a big job for you and the staff? quite a big 'ob for you and the staff? , ~' ., quite a big 'ob for you and the staff? , ,, ., ., ., ., staff? yes, we know we got a long wa to no staff? yes, we know we got a long way to go and _ staff? yes, we know we got a long way to go and it's _ staff? yes, we know we got a long way to go and it's developing i staff? yes, we know we got a long way to go and it's developing that l way to go and it's developing that expressive language, developing those boundaries for children, and that self—regulation. we have to use a minimizer approach, focusing on children's mindset and well—being, and that cascaded right from babies up and that cascaded right from babies up to preschool age, and that's really helped as well. it’s up to preschool age, and that's really helped as well. it's going to take a long _ really helped as well. it's going to take a long time _ really helped as well. it's going to take a long time to _ really helped as well. it's going to take a long time to sort _ really helped as well. it's going to take a long time to sort all- really helped as well. it's going to take a long time to sort all this i take a long time to sort all this out, isn't it? take a long time to sort all this out. isn't it?— take a long time to sort all this out, isn't it?_ julie, | out, isn't it? absolutely. julie, thank you _ out, isn't it? absolutely. julie, thank you so — out, isn't it? absolutely. julie, thank you so much _ out, isn't it? absolutely. julie, thank you so much for- out, isn't it? absolutely. julie, thank you so much for talking l out, isn't it? absolutely. julie, l thank you so much for talking to out, isn't it? absolutely. julie, i thank you so much for talking to us. very much involved in running in

which is said to have happened in march 2020 when he was a student officer at hendon training school. farmers around the capital are facing a squeeze from the cost of living crisis — which some fear could drive them out of business. the price of raw materials is soaring, while shops and supermarkets are desperate to keep the cost of produce down to help hard—hit families. meanwhile recruiting seasonal labour from abroad is proving difficult post—brexit. some are encouraging people to shop local to support farmers. i don't think everyone's going to turn vegan, so... it would be nice for people to start thinking more locally than abroad and cheap, you know, people start paying more for premium quality produce, i think. stalking offences in london are rising, according to the suzy lamplugh trust — who support victims of the crime. it's why they say they're looking to train 10,000 people a year to deal with the problem. research shows 80% of women have experienced harassment in public

lots of cloud and showery outbreaks of rain for a time this morning as well. that rain band clears and as we head through the morning, it's a drier second half of the day, but there will be a lot of cloud around, watch out for one or two showers following behind. there could be if few brighter spells and temperatures will rise to around 1a or 15. so a lot milder. but it will be rather windy, brisk westerly blowing, gusts as high as 30 or a0 miles an hour. as we head through this evening, the wind will ease down a touch, we will keep the layers of cloud, they could be some patchy rain on and off, very mild, temperatures falling to high single figures. tomorrow we will do the whole thing a love again with some patchy rain, the winds will be lighter, brighter spells in the afternoon with highs of 15. i'm back in around an hour. for more london news, head to our website or follow us on instagram and facebook.

7:33 am
are no humanitarian corridors open, and at the same time they say there are lots of people who have been left behind, particularly the disabled, the elderly and the sick, there are literally dying in their beds. or dying of hunger and thirst because there are no supplies getting in. we because there are no supplies getting im— because there are no supplies getting in— because there are no supplies getting in. because there are no supplies caettin in. ~ ~' ., . , because there are no supplies caettin in. ~ ~ ., ., , ., getting in. we know that there is a lack of supplies — getting in. we know that there is a lack of supplies and _ getting in. we know that there is a lack of supplies and a _ getting in. we know that there is a lack of supplies and a lack - getting in. we know that there is a lack of supplies and a lack of - lack of supplies and a lack of basic amenities. the red cross are saying they are having difficulties getting to the city itself. are there any aid agencies able to operate there at the moment?— at the moment? basically it is entirely volunteer _ at the moment? basically it is entirely volunteer efforts. - at the moment? basically it is | entirely volunteer efforts. that at the moment? basically it is i entirely volunteer efforts. that is what people from mariupol are telling me. it is volunteer effort on the ground, civilians were literally driving into mariupol under shelling to give any aid they can. i spoke to one woman in her late 50s went back to go and retrieve her husband, she bought the car here, drill through shelling on her own, she went through the occupied territory as well, so she
7:34 am
went to russian checkpoints to get their and was handing out nappies, there are no aid agencies or organisations that are able to get in. i spoke to the red cross and they said they had two trucks worth of aid including basic surprise for 2000 people for three months, magical —— medical supplies and they haven't been able to get those in. it's an absolute disaster, people are coming out are saying they are starving, they are going thirsty, they are freezing under shelling and missiles, there is street fighting, they're hiding in their basements, it's absolute catastrophe. i just it's absolute catastrophe. i 'ust wonder listening i it's absolute catastrophe. i 'ust wonder listening to i it's absolute catastrophe. i 'ust wonder listening to you i it's absolute catastrophe. ijust wonder listening to you and - it's absolute catastrophe. ijust wonder listening to you and hearing the accounts of people fleeing the city, how does it end for the residents of mariupol? i suppose when we look at those drone shots of a city completely devastated and largely flattened, what's going to be left of the city, if further russians?— be left of the city, if further russians? ., , ., russians? literally nothing. -- even further russians. _ russians? literally nothing. -- even further russians. everything - russians? literally nothing. -- even further russians. everything a - further russians. everything a family have spoken to have said the city has been raised to the ground.
7:35 am
90% of the city destroyed. everyone has said, we have notjust left, not just fled for our lives, we have left our lives because it's been completely obliterated. homes have been destroyed, all critical infrastructure. what is left for the russians? basically nothing. at the same we don't even know the level of destruction to people so we don't know what the death toll is or the injury toll is. i was speaking to families who said that people couldn't pull out bodies from the rubble because it was too dangerous. there is an untold number of people who are stuck under the buildings which were destroyed and there is an untold number of people whose bodies have been buried. there is nothing left, is what people who i have spoken to have said.— left, is what people who i have spoken to have said. from the people ou have spoken to have said. from the people you have spoken _ spoken to have said. from the people you have spoken to, _ spoken to have said. from the people you have spoken to, they _ spoken to have said. from the people you have spoken to, they have - you have spoken to, they have obviously talked to you about what they have experienced, how they have been surviving in their desperation to get out, how much hope do you assessis to get out, how much hope do you assess is left for those people you have been speaking to?—

7:37 am
lot of the residence or some residents of mariupol are being taken to russia so there is a movement of civilians from mariupol to russia which is another dynamic as well. so i think the future is incredibly bleak, speaking to everyone that i've spoken to who has said this. ., ., , ., , , , said this. you have probably been well-positioned _ said this. you have probably been well-positioned to _ said this. you have probably been well-positioned to be _ said this. you have probably been well-positioned to be answer- said this. you have probably been| well-positioned to be answer this, well—positioned to be answer this, well—positioned to be answer this, we have had lots of guests on who have fled from mariupol and who are from that eastern areas of ukraine where there have traditionally been very close links with russia, many people speak russian, they teach the children russian and we've spoken to people who are artists who say they will no longer sing in russian, lots of people say they will no longer speak russian, and people who have cut off ties with russian friends who they say, what are you doing to our country, and they say, we are liberating you. i wonder what the generational relationship will be like now with russia, how do you assess that?— assess that? definitely there is a real sense _

assess that? definitely there is a real sense of _ assess that? definitely there is a real sense of unification - assess that? definitely there is a real sense of unification behind l assess that? definitely there is a i real sense of unification behind the nationality of ukraine, i think. particularly the people coming from the worst hit areas. mariupol for example is a predominately russian speaking city in quite a lot of the cities on the coast are the same. there is definitely a feeling that basically, russia has directly targeted and destroyed the lives of people in ukrainian cities and people in ukrainian cities and people are rallying behind ukraine. so there is quite a lot of factions within ukraine, they have been united together and there has been a civilian effort with mass signing up to salute —— civilian and territorial defence forces, a massive amount of volunteers, people signing up to fight in the war to support ukraine so i think there is going to be a seismic shift in terms of attitudes towards russia and russian identity, and that will also play out in terms of people speaking ukrainian, more people embracing ukrainian, more people embracing ukrainian culture, because people feel they have just been, this
7:39 am
invasion has destroyed their lives. thank you very much for giving us that really detailed insight about what's been happening in mariupol and some of the people you have been speaking to. the war in ukraine took centre stage in the grammys. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, made a surprise appearance — via a pre—recorded video message — and asked the celebrity audience to "tell the truth about the war" on tv and social media. our us correspondent sophie long reports on a huge night for the music industry. # let's go! # silk sonic kicked off the show with its tribute to '70s soul and claimed the grammys for song and record of the year for leave the door open. trevor noah was hosting for a second time... we're in vegas, look at this, people are doing shots. last year, people were doing shots but it was more moderna and pfizer. this time, we're back in the mix. there were nods to the controversy at last week's oscars... i'm going to present this award and i trust that you people
7:40 am
will stay 500 feet away from me. and the grammys did what the oscars didn't. they gave the ukrainian president the opportunity to make a direct plea for help to the audience. our musicians wear body armour instead of tuxedos. john legend followed with a performance alongside ukrainian musicians — which received a standing ovation. i9—year—old disney actress turned pop sensation olivia rodrigo was given the grammys for best newcomer and best pop vocal album.
7:41 am
i want to thank my mum and my dad for being equally as proud of me forwinning a grammy as they were when i learned how to do a back walkover. this is for you guys and because of you guys, thank you. the big winner of the night with five grammys, including best album, was the genre—busting jon batiste. ijust put my head down and i worked on the craft every day. i love music, i've been playing since i was a little boy. it's more than entertainment for me, it's a spiritual practice. it was a musical journey that celebrated those that keep music on the road, and whether or not you agree with where the awards went, the grammys were back in all their glory. # are you gonna go my way? # sophie long, bbc news, las vegas. it is 7:41. you're watching kiss. sarah is here with the sport. we
7:42 am
will start with the title race in scotland. —— you're watching breakfast. celtic opened up a six point gap at the top of the scottish premiership with a 2—1win at ibrox in the old firm derby. but the match was overshadowed by broken glass thrown onto the pitch at half—time, and a member of the celtic backroom staff being hit by a glass bottle. joe lynskey reports. in glasgow and in football, there are a few days more intense. but in the old firm, it can go too far. celtic�*sjoe hart came out for the second half and checked the goalmouth to find glass. utterly ridiculous. shards of broken bottles thrown on at half—time that took
7:43 am
a full sweep to clear. celtic said a member of their backroom staff was also hit by a glass bottle. police scotland say inquiries into what happened are ongoing. this was meant to be the day the old firm was renewed by the closest title race for years, and the return of away fans. early on, aaron ramsey scored for rangers, who won the league last year, but celtic now have new resolve. unbeaten since september, they found a way back here, with two goals to turn it round. they are now clear at the top. a lead of six points with six to play, and to keep their cool in this intensity, mayjust win them the league. in the race for champions league spots in england, arsenal have the chance to move back into the all—important fourth place in the premier league tonight, if they avoid defeat
7:44 am
at crystal palace. they've been leapfrogged by tottenham, who came from a goal down to thrash newcastle 5—1. it was level at half—time but spurs ran away with it after the break — harry kane setting up matt doherty. and son heung—min was busy again, setting up one goal and scoring one himself. that's five wins in six league games for tottenham. if aaron cresswell's glorious to a 2-1 win over everton. they're now sixth, but everton are stilljust one place above the relegation zone — and have a big game coming up on wednesday against burnley, who are second from bottom. liverpool women are back in the super league after two years away — they beat briston city to take the championship title. and chelsea are back on top of the wsl. arsenal had briefly taken top spot after beating leicester but chelsea soon reasserted themselves with a 5—0 win over reading — beth england scoring twice.
7:45 am
chelsea are one point clear of arsenal with four games left. england are back on top in the women's six nations, thanks to a hefty 74 points to nil win over italy in parma. the red roses scored 12 tries, lydia thompson with three of them, as they took their winning run to 20 games. england take on an unbeaten wales side next weekend. we've seen incredible comebacks from tiger woods before. remember the 2019 masters, where he won the green jacket 11 years after his last major triumph? what are the chances of a repeat? he's arrived in augusta to continue what he called his "preparation and practice", before he decides whether he can compete at the masters, which starts on thursday. woods hasn't played on tour since a horrific car crash 14 months ago left him with serious leg injuries. we do have a press conference on tuesday where he is going to talk so we will see if he can do it. catlin

we will see if he can do it. calm yourself. the dog woke me i we will see if he can do it. calm yourself. the dog woke me up i yourself. the dog woke me up slightly earlier this morning, about 255, and i took the dog out, i looked at my phone to see what was happening in the world and i started watching videos of tiger woods warming up on the range. did that make everything ok? three o'clock in the morning. did you put on a green jacket on? is it a proper green jacket, a blazer? it'sjust the golfing jacket. listen, iused jacket, a blazer? it'sjust the golfing jacket. listen, i used to dress up for snooker. i used to watch steve davis and jessop na waistcoat and clean my cute with a flannel. i used to play on the dining room table. do you have a picture? you've got to dig it out. i bet you have. i will ask my mother. oh my goodness. how many days of this now? i am into it, you know i'm
7:47 am
into it, i love it, i'm phenomenally excited about the masters. we are both getting dressed up for the masters this week, me and carol. good morning, everyone. this morning is a mile start to the day. more or less across the board, these are the temperatures if you're just stepping out now. 8—9 but cooler in shetland and also around the london area where we are looking at 4—5. what's happening is we've got this one from sinking sound so milder air coming in behind it, the rain will clear and we have another front in the north bringing some light rain at the moment across western scotland and northern ireland and that will turn heavier through the day. the rain across england and wales continues to sing south eventually clearing. behind it, a lot of cloud, some mist and fog and of course especially in the west. the best of any brightness will be in eastern scotland, north—east england, east wales and down towards
7:48 am
the moors. possibly into the south—east later on. wherever you are it's going to be windy with our temperature range 9—15. colder in shetland once again where this mornings showers will increase and turn wintry to the afternoon. through this evening and overnight we will have some rain around, turning heavy across northern ireland getting into northern england and also scotland, once again a lot of cloud with some coastal hill mist and fog. in this cold air, as the rain moves across, we will increasingly see snow in the highlands and the grampians. it will be colder with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces in shetland, but really, from glasgow and edinburgh southwards temperatures 10—11. another mild night in prospect. tomorrow, we start off with a favourite of cloud. hill mist and fog, drizzle, and the rain across northern ireland, northern england and scotland but it is this know i want to draw your attention to.
7:49 am
between 10—20 centimetres of snow, mostly on the hills, a little getting down to lower levels in heavier bursts. it will be cold in the north. 4 degrees is the maximum temperature. glasgow and edinburgh, 10-11. 15 in temperature. glasgow and edinburgh, 10—11. 15 in london. as we head on into wednesday, no pressure and its fronts move across the uk for the west to east. looking at the isobars, it looks like it's going to be windy day on wednesday with a potential for gates in southern central and northern scotland, rain clearing the south of england, and then a mixture of showers, blustery showers being driven in from the west to the east on the wind and still less snow, particularly so in the highlands. caithness and sutherland is. it will be cold. temperatures in the north 4—5. in the south, milder conditions, with temperatures down a little bit, 11-13. temperatures down a little bit, 11—13. eventually the colder air sinks southwards, you can see it
7:50 am
represented by the blues, and the far side hang on to the milder conditions and later in the week, it will get colder. a chance of sleet and snow in some southern areas. a lot going on with the weather this week. ., . , lot going on with the weather this week. ., ., , , _ ., ., week. you are very busy, carol. thank you _ week. you are very busy, carol. thank you very _ week. you are very busy, carol. thank you very much _ week. you are very busy, carol. thank you very much indeed. i potential solutions to climate change — including ways of taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere — are to be outlined by scientists in the latest report from the intergovernmental panel on climate change. they'll also warn that countries need to move much faster than they are doing at present. our climate editorjustin rowlatt joins us now. lovely to speak to you on the programme. lovely to speak to you on the programme. justin, what is this report and why has it been so controversial? it's been very controversial because essentially what they are outlining is a recipe for how we save the world from climate change and that means fundamental changes to almost everything we do because of course, carbon emissions come from virtually everything, every activity we are involved with, so it means a kind of
7:51 am
change in all the systems that underlie the modern world and of course, that is controversial if it means you are a saudi arabian, using much less oil and gas, obviously that something they might want to push back on. india is saying where is the money going to come from? those are the big kind of countries putting a shoulder to this and trying to change the wording. yeah, it's a radical document, the third of three, a trilogy from the un, the science of getting more and more sand, no climate change is happening and getting worse, impacts in february. it says we are experiencing hundreds of millions of people already experiencing climate change, threatening nature, that was number two, change, threatening nature, that was numbertwo, and change, threatening nature, that was number two, and this one is what do about it? i number two, and this one is what do about it? ~ ., i” �* number two, and this one is what do about it? ~ ., y., �* , ., about it? i know you've given us a broad picture _ about it? i know you've given us a broad picture bear— about it? i know you've given us a broad picture bear but _ about it? i know you've given us a broad picture bear but what i about it? i know you've given us a broad picture bear but what other| broad picture bear but what other things is unlikely to say? what is the detail in it?_ the detail in it? essentially the detail is going _ the detail in it? essentially the detail is going to _ the detail in it? essentially the detail is going to be _ the detail in it? essentially the detail is going to be pretty i the detail in it? essentially the l detail is going to be pretty broad because we are talking about the entire world and almost everything
7:52 am
we do as a species. so what they will say is we haven't seen the report, we need to peak carbon emissions, they are still going up, by the middle of this decade, so in the next two or three years, think about that. then we need to reduce them rapidly, possibly 45% by the end of this decade. within eight years we need to practically halve carbon emissions. hugely radical. if we don't do that, we are not in a position to keep climate change within what they consider the safe level which is 1.5 degrees above preindustrial levels. after that, carbon emissions need to go to net zero, which means renewable energy, switching to electric vehicles, changing what we eat, less meat. changing the way we farm to sequester more carbon in the soil, changing all the industries that are the basis of the modern world, cold, concrete, steel, glass, all of those
7:53 am
need to change. emissions need to be taken out of them. even if we do all of that we will need to have a way of that we will need to have a way of capturing emissions from the air to reduce the concentration of carbon emissions. it's a radical document talking about system change. talking about system change throughout the world. this is going to be quite a dramatic statement by the un. d0 to be quite a dramatic statement by the un. , ., the un. do the un believe that there is a chance to — the un. do the un believe that there is a chance to turn _ the un. do the un believe that there is a chance to turn things _ the un. do the un believe that there is a chance to turn things around i is a chance to turn things around and what happens if we don't? thea;r and what happens if we don't? they are sa inc and what happens if we don't? they are saying that _ and what happens if we don't? tue: are saying that there and what happens if we don't? tte are saying that there are and what happens if we don't? tte1: are saying that there are still a chance if we do all these things and it's a big ask for the world. they are saying essentially it's now or never. if we don't begin this radical process now, it will soon be too late to keep temperatures within safe levels and what that means is the world will begin to experience more heatwaves, floods, more turbulent weather which will affect our ability as a specie to grow
7:54 am
food, the fundamental processes of life will begin to change. huge areas of the world will be unlivable, a massive movement of refugees, climate change is the ultimate kind of disaster movie and what they are saying is if we don't start now it won't be a movie, it will be how the world is. tqm. thank you very much for that. we will keep a close eye on things. we are used to important news on this programme and thank you for delivering it. it's not his fault, i don't think you are not directly. here's a question for you. which bbc news programme was the first to report major world events like the challenge space shuttle disaster and the attempted assassination of pope john paul the second? it wasn't the six shall i pretend i don't know the answer? it was newsround, the bulletin aimed at children, which is celebrating a big birthday today. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba, himself a former
7:55 am
newsround presenter, has been looking back through the archives. on bbc one now, it's time forjohn craven's newsround. back in 1972, many people said that children weren't interested in news. john craven proved them wrong. hello again. a cartoon poster launched around the world has just been hit by a new eruption. did you ever imagine, john, that when you started newsround, it would still be going 50 years on? no way, no way. we did it as a little experiment for six weeks, twice a week on tuesdays and thursdays. we were filling in a little gap in the schedules. america's mariner ten spacecraft... the six week experiment instantly became essential viewing. it was on streets like this that the riots happened... ..thanks to the range of stories and the way it told them. we had to be dealing with serious news news that we thought the children should know about, news that we thought they wanted to know about. everything from
7:56 am
important world events. hello. and now that piece is close at hand in vietnam. to the environment and wildlife. in this undergrowth over there. snoozing away at the moment is one of the most beautiful of all wild creatures the tiger. one of the most terrible events in american history. over the years, the programme has shown it can deal with the biggest events. i late last night, there was a terror| attack at an ariana grande concert. early in roger finn's newsround career, the programme was the first to break the news of a huge, tragic story. hello again. within the last few minutes, we've heard there's been an explosion on board the space shuttle challenger. i'd only been presenting the programme maybe five or six times. a few weeks before that happened, there had been a high level conference in the bbc news department. what do we do if a big story breaks during the children's hour and the decision had been made we'll
7:57 am
let newsround break it? this was the first time that had been tested. today, we're going to hear about george floyd. more than 1.5 million people. from ukraine have had to flee to other countries to escape war. newsround has always been praised for the way it handles difficult news. julie etchingham spent the days following the death of princess diana reporting from the royal palaces. injust under an hour, the queen will make an historic live broadcast to the nation to share the royal family's grief over the death of the princess. she remembers thatjust as important as telling the story was considering how children were feeling. the audience hearing from a bereavement counsellor was a crucial element. we were thinking about how our audience was absorbing it and being affected by it, and i think that's one of the really wonderful... there's so many wonderful things about newsround, but that's one of the greatest. it sort of thinks hard about the impact on its audience, not in just a sort ofjournalistic
7:58 am
way, but in an emotional way as well. and finally, finally and finally, check this out. the spice girls have come a long way since newsround first _ filmed of them lastjune. pop mania has come back to britain, and most of the screaming has been for the bay city rollers. newsround is also famous for covering the lighter side of things, something i embraced during my time on the show. stay there. and there is one story in particular that i'm probably best remembered for covering. harry potter, harry potter, harry potter. there were interviews premieres, but it all began with the story's incredible popularity. standing in this same book shop more than 20 years ago, none of us quite realised how significant a book series was going to become to young viewers. well, i was watching newsround and they told me i'd audition. tte programme even helped rupert grint get cast as ron. the programme also helped these two
7:59 am
achieve something very special. their newsround highlight? on a personal note, it's meeting each other. i'd say we were friends and then we decided, actually, we really get on and we decided to get married. so on a personal note, thanks, john. yeah, friendships. i mean, that was really important with newsround. the world has changed immeasurably in 50 years. is newsround still relevant? i think its impact is probably more important than ever now because there's so much false news around. children have access to all kinds of wrong information. it's very important that newsround maintains its role in television and in national life. john, thank you very much for your time and congratulations. 50 years of newsround was an achievement. we have got ricky coming on the programmejust after we have got ricky coming on the programme just after nine o'clock,
8:00 am
i'm delighted to say. they are doing a brilliantjob covering what's going on in ukraine at the moment for the nations children. john craven, he still the best, isn't he? i love him. hello again. he used to say it every day. i dare you to stay atjust say it every day. i dare you to stay at just after say it every day. i dare you to stay atjust after eight o'clock. stay with us, headlines coming up. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent.
8:01 am
our headlines today: russia accused of genocide by ukraine's president zelensky as evidence of civillian killings come to light. he describes the war as "the torture of an entire nation". he goes on to make an appearance at the grammy awards on video urging musicians to show their support for ukraine. calls for emergency service workers killed in the line of duty to be honoured with a special medal, from the father of a police officer shot dead while attending a 999 call. it doesn't change anything. it doesn't bring people back. but it doesn't bring people back. but it does say to the families, there is some recognition for the loss you have suffered. increase the price of eggs or suppliers will go bust — that's the warning from farmers to supermarkets as fuel, energy, paper and feed prices soar. they want us to pay another 40p for a dozen.
8:02 am
a pivotal win for celtic at rangers in the title race but there's a police investigation under way after two incidents of glass bottles being thrown at ibrox. it isa it is a milder start to the day, across the board. but we are looking at a cloudy and damp and windy day ahead with some snow in the forecast this week for northern scotland. i will have all the details throughout the rest of the programme. it's monday 4th april. our main story. ukraine's president, volodomyr zelensky, has accused russian forces of committing genocide in towns near the capital, kyiv. he described the war as the torture of an entire nation. there's been condemnation of russia from leaders around the world, including the prime minister, borisjohnson. meanwhile, russia has renewed strikes on southern ukraine, targeting odesa and kherson. simonjones has the latest. the withdrawal of russian forces
8:03 am
from areas around kyiv reveals the destruction and a mounting death toll. more than 400 bodies have been recovered in the region, according to ukraine's prosecutor general. civilians apparently indiscriminately killed in the street by retreating russian soldiers. residents of the city of bucha have witnessed unimaginable horror. translation: i'm so worried. i'm already 90. i shouldn't have lived to see this. these satellite images from bucha are said to show evidence of a mass grave in the grounds of a church. it's a bleak landscape. borisjohnson says russia's despicable attacks against innocent civilians are yet more evidence that president putin and his army are committing war crimes. the ukrainian president says it has to end. translation: i call on all our citizens and friends of ukraine | in the world who can join this work and help establish justice to do so.
8:04 am
the world has already seen many war crimes at different times on different continents, but it is time to do everything possible to make the war crimes of the russian military the last manifestation of such evil on earth. russia's military focus is shifting to the east of ukraine. new footage from mariupol shows the devastation caused by more than a month of shelling. and this is what remains of a theatre used as a shelter which came under attack. hundreds are feared to have died. you saw these pictures and videos and we see that the russian army, they are not human. i don't know who they are not human. i don't know who they are. are the animals, are the aux? i don't know. i do know how it is possible to do this. tens of thousands of people remain trapped in the city, struggling to find food and water.
8:05 am
emotional farewells. people here fear russia could soon attempt to besiege the city, making it a second mariupol. in moscow, some buildings display the letter z, a symbol of support for what russia has always labelled its special military operation. despite growing outrage, russia says the grim images emerging from cities like bucha are fake. there is condemnation of the kremlin's actions from leaders around the world with a threat of further sanctions. a call for president putin to face the consequences. but despite all the political pressure, the war goes on. simon jones, bbc news. our correspondent emma vardy is in the western city of lviv. emma, we're hearing more evidence of atrocities allegedly committed by russian troops. how have people in ukraine responded?
8:06 am
well, mounting condemnation, really, at this images coming out of the towns around kyiv, where russian forces are withdrawn. a very strong words from president zelensky overnight, he is calling it a deliberate massacre of civilians by russian forces, even calling it genocide, saying, this is evidence mounting of alleged war crimes. president zelensky says he is putting together a special team of prosecutors, investigators and judges and saying he wants to prosecute alleged war crimes here in ukraine and that he is starting that process as soon as possible. there was also this surprise video address recorded address from missed out zelensky played at the grammys last night in which he was urging world leaders not to stay silent on this. but it is early days. journalists are onlyjust being taken into these areas that have been recaptured by ukrainian forces, these images are just emerging. world leaders are calling for these atrocities to be
8:07 am
properly investigated and it will take painstaking work on the days ahead to gather evidence to see if it supports these claims that there are alleged war crimes being carried out by russian forces. mr. are alleged war crimes being carried out by russian forces.— are alleged war crimes being carried out by russian forces. mr, thank you very much- — our correspondent jenny hill is in moscow. jenny, how is russia responding to this growing body of evidence that its troops have committed atrocities against ukrainian civilians? the authorities here dismiss all of those claims, all of that footage, all of those reports as fake news. it is becoming, or it is, the standard moscow response to accusations of atrocities carried out by russian troops. we've had a series of statements and interviews from authorities here this morning, officials saying not a single local resident in bucha suffered from any violent action most of the ministry of defence says on the contrary, russian troops have been giving out
8:08 am
humanitarian aid to settlements all around that area. and not only is moscow saying that this is fake news, staged by ukraine for the benefit of western media, it is calling for a meeting of the un security council to discuss the issue, saying that ukraine is committing a blatant provocation. it says ukraine has done this in order to escalate tensions and to disturb peace talks which are due to resume later today in an online format. generally, thank you. —— jenny hill, thank you. police have issued fines for lockdown breaches to some people who attended an event in downing street on the eve of prince philip's funeral last april. our political correspondent ione wells joins us now. lone, do we know who has received a fine and when? good morning. these fines have been handed out in the last couple of days via e—mail. we now know that some people who were at one of those
8:09 am
parties in the evening of prince philip at�*s funeral in number ten have been issued with fines, this was a gathering on the 16th of april 2021 and it was a leaving do for james slack, previously the director of communications in downing street. remember, this event is one of the ones that caused widespread condemnation given the sharp contrast between images the next day of the queen having to mourn her husband or her own, also really significant, we know people at this event have now been fined because this is the first time we've had confirmation from the police that lockdown rules were broken in downing street itself. we no other fines were issued for separate events in the cabinet office as well. the telegraph also reporting that helen mcnamara, former director of ethics at the cabinet office, has been fined for a separate event in 2020. she has declined to comment on these reports. we don't necessarily know the details of who exactly else
8:10 am
may have received a final yet, the identity of people is not going to be released by the police unless people decide to challenge them in court but we know number ten will confirm whether or not deeper minister or his top civil servant received fines in the police are still waiting for more material. so there could be more in the coming weeks to come. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. you're right? let's go straight to carol with the weather! good morning. i hope you're ok, dan! are fairly wet start to the day for many of us. as you can see from this whether washers picture. there's a lot of cloud, some drizzle by the rain continuing to push away from the south over the course of the morning and behind it a lot of
8:11 am
cloud. some coast and hill mist and fog, especially in the west. the patchy rain we have currently across western scotland and northern ireland, turning a bit heavier this afternoon. the best chance of seeing some brightness in eastern scotland, north—east england, east wales and parts of the east moors. temperatures today 9 to 14 celsius. windy but cold in shetland, and increasingly for you the showers you had this money will turn wintry through the afternoon. this evening and overnight, we will have some rain, possibly turn heavier across northern ireland, getting into northern england and scotland, and some snow across the grampians in the highlands. further south, some clearance in the sky, some drizzle and still some mist and fog around, particularly in the hills and on the coast. for most it will be a mild night, away from the north where we have the snow, and the risk of ice and untreated surfaces. again tomorrow, a lot of cloud, one or two
8:12 am
brighter breaks, some drizzle, heavier rain moving in across northern ireland into northern england and southern scotland, some heavy snow developing across the highlands and grampians. as much as 10 to 20 centimetres. that could prove to be disruptive. it's going to be called where we have the now but again, mild in the south. have you recovered now? was at the excitement? it is almost ten years since police officers nicola hughes and fiona bone were murdered while responding to a bogus 999 call in greater manchester. ever since, nicola's father bryn has campaigned tirelessly and is now launching a new initiative to see emergency workers, who are killed in the line of duty, honoured with a special medal. we'll speak to bryn in a moment, but first let's hear him describe the journey he's been on to keep his daughter's memory alive. nicola was a fun, bubbly,
8:13 am
intelligent, smart, naive, you name it, she was everything rolled into one. she had a wicked sense of humour but a caring side. if she saw somebody in trouble she would want to help them. probably that's why she joined the police. she looked beyond the excitement to the fast chase things. she looked at the real reason she wanted and be a police officer, to help people as much as she could. two police officers have been killed in greater manchester after responding to what turned out to be a bogus 999 call. fiona bone and nicola hughes were called to an apparent burglary. it should have been a routine call. in fact, police say it was a bogus report and believes they were lured here
8:14 am
deadly false pretenses. the memories of that day are so vivid at times. at other times, are quite sketchy and i suppose that's how you protect yourself. you don't believe it. it's almost like you're in the middle of a film or tv programme. you want to pause. and you want to rewind to go over it again, i suppose. you have missed a bit. you think i want to pause that just take in what has just been sent to me. and that, for me, i go over that time and time again. you are thinking it's a mistake, have you got my name wrong? have you got nicola's name wrong? are you sure it is here? you torture yourself with that. the family of nicola hughes are determined that they will be remembered. they have launched a charity to raise money in her name.
8:15 am
now nicola's father has written a book about what happened i in the hope it might help families like his. - who lose someone - because of violent crime. they have tried to do as much as possible, marathons, virtual events, so for me, keeping that memory alive is by continuing to help those people what nicola helped. the last ten years i suppose if you try to sum it up, just been nonstop. when i decided to run my first marathon i was helping a couple of charities that helped me and the family through what we have gone through, and then i suddenly looked and thought this could carry on, we can establish an actual charity in nicola's name which will help. and the charity is called the pc nicola hughes memorialfund but we help children from many walks of life who have lost a parent through murder or manslaughter. it's been phenomenal.
8:16 am
it has been a journey and a half. but it's not over yet. not by a long way. this memorial garden was built in honour and memory of nicola and fiona. for us, it gives us that peaceful tranquil place and places like this mean a lot, as well. but i don't think it's enough. i can't take this home every night. i can't look at this every night and i think to have the metal to honour nicola's memory, that's what we want. what we are trying to do but looking introduce a medal for the emergency service workers who have been killed on duty and lost their lives on duty, obviously it will be a posthumous award, it doesn't change anything. it doesn't bring people back but what it does say to the families, there is some recognition for the loss you have suffered, there is a medal at the end of the day, a reward, no matter which way you dress it up, it still says to those families
8:17 am
we are still thinking about you. and we recognise the sacrifice that notjust your loved ones made, but the sacrifice you have made. at the end of the day, i'm still suffering from the sacrifice. i'm serving a life sentence of grief, if you like. and no doubt other families will be also. i think she would be proud. i think she would say, dad, you need to stop now and have a rest because you're not getting any younger. nicola always said you're not peter pan, dad. i think she would say that now. well, before we speak to bryn about his campaign, let's take a look at some of the ways emergency workers are currently honoured. firstly, there are red plaques which rememberfirefighters killed in the line of duty. this one is for firefighter stephen hunt who died in 2013 while tackling a blaze in manchester city centre. memorial stones are used to honour police officers who have lost their lives. merseyside officer pc david phillips
8:18 am
was tragically killed when he was trying to stop a stolen vehicle in 2015. this stone tribute was unveiled two years later. pc keith palmer, lost his life in the 2017 westminster terror attack, and was posthumously awarded the george medal — the second highest award for gallantry. the elizabeth cross was introduced in 2009 and is given to the families of armed forces officers killed in service or as a result of terrorism, but there's currently no equivalent award for emergency service workers. nicola hughes' dad brynjoins us now, alongsidejohn partington who is the deputy national chair at the police federation of england and wales. good morning. the report you just made for us was so lovely. the first thing i want to ask you about is do you think nicolette would say you are not peter pan? she you think nicolette would say you are not peter pan?— you think nicolette would say you are not peter pan? she word, she said it quite _ are not peter pan? she word, she

8:20 am
type of official recognition, official award, type of official recognition, officialaward, make type of official recognition, official award, make to you? obviously it's not going to change things, we are well aware of that, but that award, even the simplest thing like a medal, you could wear that with pride at an event, a memorial event, and you are wearing it for your daughter, for your partner, whoever it is, and i think that would speak volumes, that you are so proud to have a shiny medal, whatever it is, and you are remembering them for the sacrifice they made. we remembering them for the sacrifice the made. ~ _ they made. we were saying while we were watching _ they made. we were saying while we were watching the _ they made. we were saying while we were watching the film, _ they made. we were saying while we were watching the film, we - they made. we were saying while we were watching the film, we can't i were watching the film, we can't believe it's ten years ago and at the time you don't think about awards and things like that, but when you got to that stage, where you surprised there was nothing at that time available for things like that? i that time available for things like that? “ that time available for things like that? 4' ., ., 4' that time available for things like that? 4' ., ., ~ ., that time available for things like that? 4' ., .., , that time available for things like that? 4' ., , ., that? i think it took a couple of ears to that? i think it took a couple of years to get — that? i think it took a couple of years to get into _ that? i think it took a couple of years to get into it, _ that? i think it took a couple of years to get into it, six - that? i think it took a couple of years to get into it, six or- that? i think it took a couple of| years to get into it, six or seven years to get into it, six or seven years ago, and then when you start asking questions, you suddenly realise there is nothing there. apart from the memorial stones which
8:21 am

between edgware and camden town with an ongoing part closure. here's the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. well, it's all change weather wise again today across the capital. we've got a westerly wind blowing now dragging in milderfeeling air, plenty of cloud, but it will be wet and windy at times, systems moving in from the atlantic. and it's a much milder start to the day than we've been seeing of late. temperatures are a good few degrees above freezing, so it's frost free, lots of cloud and some showery outbreaks of rain for a time this morning as well. that main rain band clears its way southwards and eastwards as we head through the morning to the first part of the afternoon. it's a drier second half of the day, but there'll always be a lot of cloud around. watch out for one or two showers following on behind. there could be a few brighter spells and temperatures in the best of those will rise to around 1a or 15 degrees celsius. so an awful lot milder, but it will be rather windy, a brisk westerly blowing, gusting perhaps as high as 30 to a0 miles an hour at times. now, as we head through
8:31 am
this evening and overnight, the winds will ease down. we'll keep those layers of cloud. there could be some patchy rain on and off. it's very mild out there. temperatures falling to high single figures. and then tomorrow we'll do the whole thing all over again. some patchy rain through the morning. the winds will be a bit lighter, some brighter spells in the afternoon with highs of 15 degrees. i'm back atjust after 9am. for more london news, head to our website or follow us on instagram and facebook. now though, here's sally and dan. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. it is 8:31. back to ukraine now — and we've heard a lot this morning about the devastation left behind by russian forces as they retreated from the area around the capital, kyiv.(sally)the kremlin is now focusing its attack on the east and south—east of ukraine, which the us says could signal a more prolonged conflict. we're joined by our security correspondent frank gardner.
8:32 am
good morning, great to see you. does this seem to you like a particularly dangerous moment in this war? i dangerous moment in this war? i think it is quite dangerous, because probably much of the world might be breathing a bit of a sigh of relief that kyiv no longer looks in danger of being overrun, but there are two reasons why this is quite dangerous. one is that for ukraine, there is the worry that it's going to run out of weapons, is going to run out of the means by which it's been able to defend itself and hold off this huge __ by defend itself and hold off this huge —— by these huge russian columns. the results of the real risk of escalation here because russian warships are gathering near odesa, there have already been missile attacks on odesa. borisjohnson has been calling for anti—ship missiles to be supplied to ukraine. there is the risk here of escalation, that
8:33 am
president putin, who considers the west to be a threat to his country, the risk is that he will say, it is time to retaliate on these supply lines and of course, the weapons come through the border, probably the polish border, possibly others come into ukraine and there is a worry that the supply line will be hit pretty close to the border, and nato will get more and more dragged into this war. 50 it nato will get more and more dragged into this war-— into this war. so it looks as if russia is _ into this war. so it looks as if russia is beaten _ into this war. so it looks as if russia is beaten in _ into this war. so it looks as if russia is beaten in the - into this war. so it looks as if russia is beaten in the area i into this war. so it looks as if- russia is beaten in the area around kyiv, is it possible to know how that will affect vladimir putin and the way he's thinking?— that will affect vladimir putin and the way he's thinking? well, he is certainly rrot _ the way he's thinking? well, he is certainly not going _ the way he's thinking? well, he is certainly not going to _ the way he's thinking? well, he is certainly not going to give - the way he's thinking? well, he is certainly not going to give up - the way he's thinking? well, he is certainly not going to give up on l certainly not going to give up on his project. the crazy thing is, if he had just simply tried to take the donbas, the easton area he is now trying to focus his attention on, —— the eastern area, it would still have been an inpatient and illegal
8:34 am
and it would still have been condemned but it's quite likely that the western alliance that is pretty rock—solid right now would have been a bit split, there would have been some countries that would say, well, they are all russian speaking there, they are all russian speaking there, they probably want to belong to russia, so let's not have sanctions that are too big over this but by invading the entire country, decimating towns, threatening to overrun the capital kyiv and carry out the kind of atrocities it is accused of doing, russia has united the west against it with these incredibly tough sanctions, so what is putin thinking about this? he will want to finish his project, he cannot afford to out of ukraine without showing his country that he's achieved some kind of objective, his aims of purifying ukraine from nazis or extremists or radicals or whatever the narrative is he is selling to his people. and he will need to show some kind of territorial gains that they already
8:35 am
have crimea, which they took in 2014 and annexed illegally, i think it is likely they will want to hold onto some territory in the donbas, and that will be a pretty tough pill when it comes to peace talks for ukraine to swallow if they are prepared to make a compromise. irate prepared to make a compromise. we are seeing increasing evidence of war crimes in the kyiv region, some terrible stories coming out we have been reporting on in the last couple of days. should we expect more evidence emerging from other occupied areas that we don't even know about yet?— occupied areas that we don't even know about yet? well, i hope not, but already. _ know about yet? well, i hope not, but already, mariupol _ know about yet? well, i hope not, but already, mariupol is _ know about yet? well, i hope not, but already, mariupol is being - but already, mariupol is being mentioned in the same breath as genocide because of the 5000 people are reported to have been killed. some of those are combatants, both ukrainian and russian, but the indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas in mariupol has definitely caused people to say this is a war
8:36 am
crime, because that city had nearly half a million people in it, only two months ago. this is the extraordinary thing. these were normal functioning extraordinary thing. these were normalfunctioning european extraordinary thing. these were normal functioning european cities where people went about their daily lives, they stopped for a cup of coffee on the way to work, chatted to friends, then perhaps popped into the coffee shop or a sandwich shop at lunchtime, went home, watch tv, play football, hung out with different and yet it is a country enveloped by war, in the space of just two months were a quarter of the population have been made to flee their homes. so yes, there will definitely be investigations into war crimes. russia has shaken it all off and claimed the latest atrocities around bucha near kyiv have been faked. that's the default area to go to for autocratic regimes and something is really embarrassing, i've seen it in the middle east. no, no, it wasn't us, it was the other side that did it,
8:37 am
theyit it was the other side that did it, they it happened a lot in syria, after a horrendous gas attacks, for example, where the syrian regime pretended the other side had faked it. . ~ . ~ pretended the other side had faked it. frank, thank you so much for our it. frank, thank you so much for your persoective _ it. frank, thank you so much for your perspective on _ it. frank, thank you so much for your perspective on this. - it. frank, thank you so much for your perspective on this. frankl your perspective on this. frank gardner live from london. in 2013, 19—year—old catrin pugh, had just finished working a ski season in the french alps. she was involved in a coach accident on her way back to the uk and suffered 96% burns. catrin was given a one in a thousand chance of survival and has had more than 200 operations since — but now almost nine years on, she's helping other burns survivors as a physiotherapist for the katie piper foundation — a charity that supports people with visible scars. catrin joins us now. thank you so much for coming in. can we start by going back, want to remember about the crash, what happened?— remember about the crash, what

ha ened? ., . , , happened? unfortunately i remember some of the thing _ happened? unfortunately i remember some of the thing is, _ happened? unfortunately i remember some of the thing is, when _ happened? unfortunately i remember some of the thing is, when we - some of the thing is, when we crashed, the coach we were on excluded, there were 52 of us and i don't exactly know how it caught fire, but my friend managed to rescue me, i was already on fire when he found me and i remember being risky, i remember being on the side of the road and he was stamping me out so i was there for about two hours knowing i had been burned and knowing that my life was potentially about to end. so a very difficult time. but i'm here today is so it was ok in the end. in time. but i'm here today is so it was ok in the end.— time. but i'm here today is so it was ok in the end. in terms of the extent of the _ was ok in the end. in terms of the extent of the damage, _ was ok in the end. in terms of the extent of the damage, is - was ok in the end. in terms of the extent of the damage, is it - was ok in the end. in terms of the extent of the damage, is it only i was ok in the end. in terms of the l extent of the damage, is it only the soles of your feet that were the only part not affected? the soles of your feet that were the only part not affected? the soles of m feet, only part not affected? the soles of my feet. and _ only part not affected? the soles of my feet. and my — only part not affected? the soles of my feet, and my scalp. _ only part not affected? the soles of my feet, and my scalp. but - only part not affected? the soles of my feet, and my scalp. but it - only part not affected? the soles of my feet, and my scalp. but it was l my feet, and my scalp. but it was everywhere else and it was the whole 96%, and 1% is like the palm of your hand, for some texas or everywhere else, had skin grafts and operations. so it was a rough ride
8:39 am
and i was not expected to make it. so take us from that point at the side of the road waiting for two hours, what happened after that? eventually when paramedics came, they put me out and i was flown to a french hospital and i was put straight into an induced coma. i was flung back to the uk after a few days and i spent three months in that induced coma and a further five months in hospital. yes, i think i almost lost my life about three or four times whilst i was in intensive care. but eventually i woke up and had to come to terms with this new reality. i couldn't move or walk, couldn't do anything for myself. not only did i have the scars on the burns to contend with but i was now someone who had to learn to live with disabilities as well. i was really nervous and scared about what the future was going to hold. when you look different, that is negative connotations, add a disability and the world can be a scary place.
8:40 am
whenever you speak to people working in trauma care, they often talk about people they meet to want to stay in bed, those who want to say no to some of the care and treatment and find it hard to think about what the future may hold and those people who sometimes force themselves out of bed to do that care and a treatment because they know they could to try and make the best of what they've got. did you fall into both of these camps at some stage? i think i did fall into both. in hospital, was the person that said now, because when you have a burn and you had skin grafts, it is so painful simply to move. no matter how much, it can be a little flick of the wrist, it is so painful. so it is normal to not want to do that. the reason i said yes in the end was because i realised that i wanted a fulfilling life in the future and the only way i was keen to get there was by doing what they said and doing what the physio said and getting out of bed. so i did it for
8:41 am
the team originally, i did for my family and my friends. and eventually it became me doing it for myself and hunting and getting hungry for what the future could hold. you mentioned the physio, you are now a physio? yes, i was to be the inspired by my team, although we have our tussles in hospital, there were just incredible. the whole health care team, when i was younger i didn't know what to do with my life i saw this health care team and although everyone played a part, the cleaners, nurses and doctors, everyone, the physics for me where the people back the ability to have the people back the ability to have the life that they wanted, whether that was to be able to just get around the house and do that or whether it was to go for more, if you like, physiotherapy giving people the tools to do that. so i was clearly inspired and it's been a long journey and going to health care as someone with a disability it's actually really difficult, you
8:42 am
don't know if she can do it, people don't know if she can do it, people don't think you are capable sometimes. but yes, graduated in the summer and am sometimes. but yes, graduated in the summerand am a sometimes. but yes, graduated in the summer and am a physiotherapist today, working with burn survivors so it's been a realfull—circle moment for me. so it's been a real full-circle moment for me.— so it's been a real full-circle moment for me. . . , . ., moment for me. there is a picture of ou the moment for me. there is a picture of you they are — moment for me. there is a picture of you they are doing — moment for me. there is a picture of you they are doing the _ moment for me. there is a picture of you they are doing the fact _ moment for me. there is a picture of you they are doing the fact that - moment for me. there is a picture of you they are doing the fact that you | you they are doing the fact that you have been through it yourself, because there is a lot of time to talk to patients, doesn't help, to share your own experience? i’m talk to patients, doesn't help, to share your own experience? i'm very 0 en share your own experience? i'm very open about — share your own experience? i'm very open about my _ share your own experience? i'm very open about my expense. _ share your own experience? i'm very open about my expense. it's - share your own experience? i'm very open about my expense. it's very - open about my expense. it's very hard to hide the scars, to be honest. soils go in with, i'm a physiotherapist with the katie piper foundation, just to let you know, i'm also a survivor myself. so i go from the track of a physio first, let's get you going, and if anyone has any questions from a survivor point of view, i know how important it was to meet other people. we have burns you feel very alone and isolated. i think 50% of the people who come to us have had thoughts of
8:43 am
harming themselves. it's an awful time. and for a lot of these people i am the first face they see this man the first burns survivor they have met. i'm so perfectly placed in this role at the charity. so i try and do a bit of both and i think it's a special skill that can only come from also being a patient. you're notjust a physiotherapist, you have also taken part in a bbc series, you have had your portrait commissioned, what was that like? it was very surreal. the dayjob on the otherjobs are very different. having the experience of being drawn, it was absolutely amazing. an internationally renowned artist who draws people like naomi campbell, kate moss, now me. it looks like a photograph, how does someone draw like that? is an amazing experience and it was truly an empowering one.
8:44 am
when you have the scars, you do struggle to see the beauty sometimes and it can take time. i got there after nine years. but this whole experience was just next level, and to see yourself through the eyes of somebody else is fantastic. it to see yourself through the eyes of somebody else is fantastic.- somebody else is fantastic. it blew me awa . somebody else is fantastic. it blew me away- what — somebody else is fantastic. it blew me away. what did _ somebody else is fantastic. it blew me away. what did your _ somebody else is fantastic. it blew me away. what did your family - somebody else is fantastic. it blew i me away. what did your family think of it? , ~' . . of it? they were like, where can i ut it in of it? they were like, where can i put it in the _ of it? they were like, where can i put it in the house? _ of it? they were like, where can i put it in the house? pride - of it? they were like, where can i put it in the house? pride of- of it? they were like, where can i l put it in the house? pride of place. they were — put it in the house? pride of place. they were overwhelmed _ put it in the house? pride of place. they were overwhelmed as - put it in the house? pride of place. they were overwhelmed as well. . put it in the house? pride of place. - they were overwhelmed as well. when you go through something like this, it isjust you go through something like this, it is just day—to—day, we just live with it and the fact that people want to share the story and people find it inspiring, it does still sums baffle all of us. my parents are teachers and i'm a physio, is very day—to—day, the fact we get to do things like this, just by me telling a story can help someone, it's all incredible. i'm lucky for the circumstances and the outcomes of it. .. , .. the circumstances and the outcomes of it. ., , ., . ~ the circumstances and the outcomes ofit. ., , ., . ,, ., the circumstances and the outcomes ofit. ., , ., . ,, the circumstances and the outcomes of it-_ thank- of it. lovely to talk to you. thank ou for

8:46 am
there's no cap on how much energy costs for businesses can go up by. on top of that the price of diesel, petrol and other transport costs have also risen. and then there's paper costs. making an egg box has risen by more than 15%. that's a big hike in packaging. you can imagine the pressure farmers are under especially as they're also dealing with the biggest outbreak of avian flu on record. farmers like daniel have been forced to keep their chickens inside. that means they can no longer label their eggs as free range. the cost of feed is up 40% over the last 12 months. electricity, 200% since march 2020. being commercial users, we are not protected by any domestic price caps, even with that, so you can imagine what it's like in the commercial world. labour has
8:47 am
gone up. staff need to be paid more. and the price of the replacement palace has gone up because they come to us money to later the food they eat has gone up as well. for farmers like us, we are considering seeing sheds empty and already we are seeing 4 million birds in the last few months, less and less farmers use their sheds. what we've got to do is go bust. use their sheds. what we've got to do is go bust-— do is go bust. that is the warning the will do is go bust. that is the warning they will go _ do is go bust. that is the warning they will go bust. _ so could all this have an impact on the price you see on the shelves? producers say we should be paying 40 pence more for a dozen eggs. the've asked the major supermarkets to raise their prices. i think it's fair that, a small price — i think it's fair that, a small price rise _ i think it's fair that, a small price rise isn't forthcoming now to producers. — price rise isn't forthcoming now to producers, via the retailers, they

8:49 am
prices going up, and fuel and home bills, you can see where it becomes huge at the same time. lots of you at home are worried about that. do share your thoughts with us on that because that is something we will continue to cover, not only in business but in the programme in coming weeks and months. time now for some sport. sarah is here. good morning. let's start with the action from the scotland football. very exciting. a big match yesterday. the old firm derby. the match was overshadowed after a member of celtic�*s backroom team was hit by a glass bottle and needed stitches in his head. in addition, the start of the second half was delayed after celtic goalkeeperjoe hart found pieces of broken glass in the penalty area. police scotland are investigating both incidents. to the action and it was an important win for celtic — cameron carter—vickers scoring the winner in a 2—1victory. they're now six points clear
8:50 am
of rangers at the top of the table. in the race for champions league spots in england, arsenal have the chance to move back up to fourth in the premier league tonight, if they avoid defeat at crystal palace. they've been leapfrogged by tottenham, who came from a goal down to hammer newcastle 5—1. they ran away with the game after equalising on the stroke of half—time, son heung—min's brilliant delivery finding ben davies. spurs are above arsenal on goal difference. liverpool women are back in the super league after two years away — they beat bristol city to take the championship title. and chelsea are on top of the wsl, thanks to a 5—0 win over reading — beth england scoring twice. they're just a point clear of arsenal with four games remaining. england thrashed italy by 74 points to nil, to retake the lead in the women's six nations. the red roses scored 12 tries in parma, with lydia thompson scoring a hat—trick as they secured a 20th consecutive win. they take on an unbeaten wales side next weekend.

(adlib handback) it would be good to see him back on the course. a lot of excitement about that. in this room. i can't understand why people are excited about golf? i can't wait! thank you so much. it'sjust you, dan. no, there is a lot of people. the eccentric landowner and industralist anne lister is thought to have written more than five—million words about her adventures in the 19th century. she is regarded as the first modern lesbian and her personal diaries are the basis for the bbc drama "gentlemanjack", which first came
