good morning, welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today: ukraine's president zelensky is to address the united nations today for the first time since russia's invasion — as he calls for a full investigation into alleged war crimes by russian forces. a british father and his nine—year—old son have died after being caught in a landslide while on holiday in australia. bosses at channel 4 say they're disappointed at the government's decision to privatise the broadcaster. support grows for a father's campaign to honour emergency service workers killed in the line of duty. a tax increase tomorrow — at a time when we're already being squeezed. national insurance will go up for most earners. i'll explain why, and what it

will mean for your finances. a miserable night for arsenal. thumped 3—0 at crystal palace, leaving mikel arteta's men in a fight for the final champions league spot. good morning. temperatures yesterday reached 16 celsius in hampshire and today we are starting off on a mild note for most and it will be a mild day generally. away from the north of scotland, we are expecting some snow, mainly on higher ground but for the rest of us, some sunshine and also some rain at times. all the details in this morning's programme. it's tuesday the 5th of april. the ukrainian president will address the united nations today — for the first time since the russian invasion. volodymyr zelensky will speak to an emergency meeting of the un security council — which includes russia — following growing evidence of atrocities. the kremlin continues to deny any wrongdoing. vincent mcaviney has the latest.

the destruction left behind by the russian invaders in bucha, a town in an area reclaimed by the ukrainians, is visible from space in these new satellite images. but to see the destruction wrought on thousands of lives, president zelensky visited himself. the pictures are too graphic to show at breakfast, but what he found was streets and graves filled with the bodies of ordinary citizens, many with their hands tied behind their backs and gunshot wounds. for vlad, his town is now haunted. translation: people have been shot in the head by russian snipers. - people on bicycles, people delivering potatoes. i can tell you so many stories, but i don't want to. i want to forget them. the kremlin claim these scenes and testimonies are fake. from the very beginning, it has been clear that this is nothing else but yet another

staged provocation aimed at discrediting and dehumanising the russian military, and levelling political pressure on russia. but today, president zelensky will tell an emergency meeting of the un security council his country wants a complete and transparent investigation into what he's calling a genocide. in washington, president biden is convinced putin should pay a price. you may remember, i got criticised for calling putin a war criminal. well, the truth of the matter — you saw what happened in bucha. this warrants him, he is a war criminal. world leaders know the chances of putin ever facing international justice are slim, so for now the focus is on ramping up sanctions to thwart him. the eu is considering action on russian oil and coal, but not gas, due to its heavy dependence, and foreign secretary liz truss has promised tough new measures will be announced at a g7 meeting later in the week.

bucha may now be free of russian soldiers, but the people have paid a heavy price with the lives of loved ones. their only hope of solace now is to try to help war crimes investigators secure the evidence. but in cities, towns and villages across this country, where russians still patrol the streets, the suspected atrocities are ongoing and they may not be as careless with the evidence any longer. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. our correspondent emma vardy is in the western city of lviv. emma, we know volodymyr zelensky is an effective communicator but what will he be asking for — and will he get it? well, mr zelensky knows, of course,

the world is watching more closely than ever now, and today he is likely to call for the international involvement, the involvement of the international community in investigating and documenting these alleged war crimes that he is accusing russia of. he wants this to be very transparent, he wants the world to see the massacre that he says russian forces have carried out in towns that they have now withdrawn from and he wants that to be very visible to the international community, and he will call for help with that today. to some extent, the process is already under way and mr zelensky has already formed a special team in ukraine to help document what's gone on on the ground, the us says it is supporting an international team of experts being sent to the region to document and gather evidence. the eu as well says it is sending a team to do that too. so that process has already begun. but meanwhile, we are continuing to hear repeated denials from the kremlin that russian forces are responsible for any civilian

deaths. so complete denial is really a pretty standard response from russia now. russia calls it the fabrication of evidence by ukraine. so when we hear mr zelensky speak today, of course he is a very passionate speaker, very passionate speaker in his nightly addresses in ukraine, we are likely to hear him warn about the increase of russian brutality in the east of ukraine where we know russian forces are now focusing their efforts there. thank ou ve focusing their efforts there. thank you very much. — focusing their efforts there. thank you very much, for _ focusing their efforts there. thank you very much, for that. - a british father and son have died after a family—of—five were caught in a landslide while on holiday in australia. it happened in the blue mountains, west of sydney. our correspondent phil mercer can tell us more. phil, what more do we know? well, ambulance officers here in eastern australia say that this was a freak accident, a british family of five hiking in the blue mountains, neara

of five hiking in the blue mountains, near a plate called wentworth falls, about 60 miles to the west of downtown sydney. is right near a track that goes underneath massive sandstone cliffs, and the police say that there was a landslide, that four members of the family were struck by falling rock, and in the tragic circumstances, a 49—year—old father died alongside his nine—year—old son. another woman and another boy were seriously injured. they had to be airlifted out after being sedated and given ventilation, and they are in hospital here in sydney, undergoing surgery. we understand that the alarm was raised by a fifth member of the family, 15—year—old girl, who escaped physical injury. she called for the emergency services. but she is, as you will understand, traumatised and in shock. she is in hospital also under care here in sydney. there is lots of speculation

that weeks and weeks of rain here in eastern australia have made this area in the blue mountains very unstable. 0ther walking tracks were closed because of flooding and heavy rain, but not this one, and we hear from national parks officials that this particular walking track was inspected in the days before this terrible accident, and was deemed to be safe. so many questions to be answered, but of course, more importantly, the health and well—being of that mother and her son who remain in hospital here in sydney. son who remain in hospital here in s dne . . ~ son who remain in hospital here in sdne. ., son who remain in hospital here in sdne. . , son who remain in hospital here in sdne. .,�*, , . son who remain in hospital here in sdne. .mg, , . sydney. thank you very much indeed. phil mercer in — sydney. thank you very much indeed. phil mercer in sydney. _ channel 4 says the government's decision to privatise the broadcaster is disappointing. ministers say public ownership was holding the broadcaster back against streaming giants like netflix and amazon prime. channel 4 was founded in 1982 and although publicly owned, is funded by advertising. let's take a look at some of today's papers. many of the front pages carry photographs

of ukraine's president zelensky visiting the town of bucha near kyiv, where civilians were allegedly massacred. the paper says uk ministers are set to "redouble efforts" to step up sanctions against russia. "haunted" is how the daily mail describes the ukrainian president's reaction to the scenes at bucha — where bodies of civilians were found on the streets after russian troops withdrew. the guardian reports comments by the us presidentjoe biden, who has called for vladimir putin to be tried for war crimes. and away from ukraine — many of the papers pay tribute to the eastenders star june brown, aka dot cotton, after her death at the age of 95. "june lit up albert square" is the sun's headline — a nod to dot�*s famous chain—smoking habit. we will be paying tribute to her with a few of her co—stars later in the programme. lots of the papers have got brilliant stories about how this

money. this is in the daily mail. they tell a story about the night that lady gaga invited dot cotton, orjune brown, to go clubbing. they met on the graham norton show and apparently they got on famously. an incredible career she's had. we know her from incredible career she's had. we know herfrom eastenders. what incredible career she's had. we know her from eastenders.— her from eastenders. what an actor. quite a few — her from eastenders. what an actor. quite a few pieces _ her from eastenders. what an actor. quite a few pieces in _ her from eastenders. what an actor. quite a few pieces in the _ her from eastenders. what an actor. quite a few pieces in the papers, - quite a few pieces in the papers, going through some of the big moments. nasty nick and all that business. he found it there? do you want me to — business. he found it there? do you want me to hold _ business. he found it there? do you want me to hold it _ business. he found it there? do you want me to hold it for _ business. he found it there? do you want me to hold it for you? - business. he found it there? do you want me to hold it for you? do - business. he found it there? do you want me to hold it for you? do you | want me to hold it for you? do you want me to hold it for you? do you want me to hold it for you? do you want me to — want me to hold it for you? do you want me to hold _ want me to hold it for you? do you want me to hold this? _ want me to hold it for you? do you want me to hold this? we - want me to hold it for you? do you want me to hold this? we will - want me to hold it for you? do you want me to hold this? we will do l want me to hold it for you? do you j want me to hold this? we will do it together. loads of these in the papers today. she was in there for such a long time and she came back, and some of her co—stars will be with us later on the sofa picking out some of the key moments, and also, always interested in people who know her really well, talking about how they would want her to be remembered as well and how she would want to be remembered.

good morning. this morning it is a mild start and it's going to be a mild start and it's going to be a mild day generally. but there is some rain, some heavier rain in scotland, some lighter rain across other parts of the country too. we have got it in the south—east at the mum, that will clear, a fair bit of cloud, a few showers and light rain across north—west wales, more rain coming to northern ireland but the heaviest will baker scotland. you can see some snow too across the highlands and grampian is come up to 10 centimetres in the grampians, 15 in the highlands. a lot of this on higher ground but we will see some of it getting down to lower levels at times. it's going to be called where we have this now but as we come south, glasgow, 11 celsius, 15 in london yesterday, we had 16 in hampshire. as we go through this evening and overnight, the rain in scotland sinks south, weakening all the time. then we have this next batch which will follow —— my father

a time, then it'lljust be rain but we could could see some icy stretches on untreated surfaces across the north—east of scotland. elsewhere, no such issues as it will be so mild. as we head into tomorrow, again, we will have a lot of showers, some rain and in between, some sunshine across england and wales. still this rain across scotland too, more showers coming to the west. still cold in the far north, temperatures down a little bit has become further south, top temperature likely to be 13. but some of the snow that's been following today will start to melt, but has begun to wednesday, overnight, once again we will see further snow, especially in the far north of scotland. so we are not done with itjust yet. wednesday will also be rather windy. thanks, carol, we will see you later. if you spend most mornings — and evenings — trying to drag your children away from their screens, then you might not be feeling all that positive about computer games.

they can, however, be a force for good, with some children learning about flood prevention by playing the survival challenge, minecraft. the bbc�*s gaming reporter steffan powell has been seeing how it's done. boxing day 2015 in lancashire — roads turned to rivers, a reminder of the power and devastation of flooding. how to stop it from happening again is a question people have been asking ever since. today in preston, the next generation is looking for an answer somewhere new — in a video game. what i'm looking for you all to do today is to defend preston from flooding for me, please. parts of the city under threat from rising river levels have been carefully recreated in one of the most popular titles in the world — minecraft. we've set up a simulation that will test to see if your barrier will work or doesn't work. so is everybody up to the challenge? working with specialist teachers

who use video games in class, the environment agency is hoping that, thanks to the power of play, these pupils will better understand why their local community floods and what can be done about it. it's more interactive and people can understand it more. and it's, like, really fun to do. it's like we get to actually learn whilst playing something that. will make us understand how to do it and how to help the _ world with climate. it's streets like this one in preston that the kids at archbishop temple school have been saving — virtually — from the dangers of flooding all morning. and if this pilot project is deemed a success, then other streets, towns and cities across england could soon be having a minecraft takeover as well. i'm just an old git. you know, if i turn up as a middle—aged man talking about this stuff, they're probably not going to listen to me — or if they are, they might take a little bit of it.

for more than 20 years. but their return couldn't be more mysterious. they were left anonymously at cambridge university library in this pink gift bag containing the box the notebooks were originally stored in and an envelope with this simple message. inside, the two notebooks wrapped tightly in clingfilm. i was shaken, you can hear that in my voice, and ifeltjoyful. did it make you cry? um... can i say that? there have been tears, there have been tears, and i think there still will be, because we're not over the emotional roller—coaster. it means so much to us to have these home. this is where the gift bag was left, outside the librarians' office. but with no cctv, the library doesn't know who put it there, or indeed where the notebooks have been and why they've been returned now. like many other buildings, we don't have cctv in places where people are just regularly passing through. 0ur cctv monitors the front of the building and the back of the building. so we have passed the cctv that we have available to the police, and that's a matter

for their live investigation. cambridge university library is huge. there are 130 miles of shelving, and the notebooks are tiny. they were last seen in november 2000, when they had been removed to be photographed. despite various searches, they never turned up, and 15 months ago, the bbc first highlighted that dr gardner thought they had been stolen. she launched a worldwide appeal to find them. your help could be critical in seeing the notebooks safely returned. and i would ask anyone who thinks they may know of the notebooks' whereabouts to get in touch. please help. one of the notebooks features darwin's "tree of life" sketch, which helped inspire his theory of evolution. they're some of the most remarkable documents in the whole history of science, i honestly think. i mean, the theory of natural selection and evolution is probably the single most important theory in the life and earth and environmental sciences, and these are the notebooks in which that theory

was put together. professor secord is one of many experts to examine the notebooks and confirm they're authentic. where the clasp is on the notebooks, you can see little bits of copper where it's actually been eroded away. these are the tiny tell—tale signs that the whole team of researchers at the university library can use to tell if they're genuine. so many intriguing questions remain, though. where do you think they've been? it is a mystery. they are in good condition, so they haven't been handled much, they have clearly been looked after with care, wherever they have been. and the important thing is that they have ended up back here. so, while darwin's ideas helped enlighten the world, the notepads now carry a secret story of their own — a secret way which may never be fully revealed. rebecca jones, bbc news, cambridge. we will have more on that story later on. missing for 20 years! what

who says she waited weeks for permission to enter the uk. yulia, who is from cherkasy, said it took 20 days to get a uk visa. her niece lina helped with the application, but was surprised at how long it took. we are extremely grateful but the process itself, it is beyond lengthy. we have friends that are trying to bring people that they don't know into their homes and they kind of have to cancel because they don't have enough money to go by where they are currently, romania, poland. it's heartbreaking. the home office says it has streamlined the process and boosted case worker numbers, while ensuring security checks are carried out. as covid cases reach record levels across the uk, on bbc london later, we'll be looking at the situation in the capital. is there a question you'd like answered? from changes to testing to rising rates — we'll be finding out about a range of issues

on our 6.30pm programme tonight. you can get in touch by emailing hellobbclondon at bbc.co.uk. travel now and, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's no service on the northern line between kennington and moorgate due to long—term upgrade work. and there are severe delays between battersea station and kennington. and there's a planned closure on the waterloo & city line. 0nto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. all in all, it's a nicer looking day of weather today across the capital than we saw yesterday. it should be mostly dry. it's not as blustery and it's still mild, too, in fact, a very mild start to the morning. temperatures are in double figures for most of us, 10—11 celsius. lots of cloud around for the first half of the day could produce perhaps a few spits and spots of light, patchy rain and drizzle here and there. it won't really amount to very much at all. and then into the afternoon, that cloud will start to thin to give us some brighter spells and perhaps even some spells of sunshine here and there. top temperatures in the best of that

brightness, 15 celsius. still a westerly wind going on, it's quite noticeable, but not as brisk as it was yesterday. and then overnight tonight, it's more of the same. so we'll keep those layers of cloud. it's looking mostly dry, but a patchy rain always possible. temperatures dropping at their lowest down to high single figures. so another mild start to the day again tomorrow. tomorrow, a cold front sinks southwards, introducing some showers. some slightly colder feeling air too on wednesday, 12 celsius, and it will be rather blustery, a brisk westerly wind blowing. that wind turns into a chilly northerly by the time we get to thursday, with some cold arctic air. that's it for now. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. there's lot more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to sally and dan. bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. coming up on today's programme. as tributes continue to pour in for the eastenders legend june brown — who has died aged 95 — we'll hear from two of her former co—stars, lacey turner and michael cashman. if you were watching the split on bbc one last night, you'll know there was a big twist. we'll be speaking to fiona button, who plays rose in the legal drama. and how's this for a musical venue with history? unsigned artists are being offered a chance to perform in the childhood

home of sir paul mccartney — we'll "get back" to that after seven o'clock. sorry about that! 0n yesterday's breakfast we spoke to bryn hughes — the father of pc nicola hughes, who was murdered along with fellow officer fiona bone, after being lured into a trap by a bogus 999 call. bryn was launching a campaign for a new medal to honour emergency service workers killed in the line of duty. we had a huge response to that interview and bryn's campaign is being backed by a growing number of organisations — including the fire service — as well as other families who have lived through similar ordeals. jayne mccubbin went to meet one of them. i remember friday evening, him leaving for work, saying ta—ra. on saturday morning, my mum came into the room and told me that my dad's passed away.

jayne was 13 when her dad, ray, was killed, a police constable who died trying to stop a stolen car. i recall walking out, going... ..back upstairs... ..and just sitting, and then, parts of me then was... i started gathering bits of...his life, really. this is a few years old now. his old pocket notebook from 1976. i've got an old breathalyser, the old—style one with the bags that they used to blow in. this is all she has left of her dad. nanny had to cut his hair on the friday night, when he left, obviously, his last shift, for work.

the job took her dad's life, but jayne went on to dedicate her life to the police force, and now ray's granddaughter, nina, has done the same. last week, she started serving in her grandad's old police force under her grandad's old number — 5951. they say that you've always got like an angel looking over your shoulders and it's like, well, you've got that on your collar number, so it's there all the time. i want to make sure that i live up to his name. this is a family which has dedicated so much to the police service. they now want society to do more to honour those who have paid the ultimate price. it is almost ten years since police officers nicola hughes _ and fiona bone were murdered by responding to a bogus... i yesterday on bbc breakfast, a campaign was launched to honour those from the emergency services who die in the line of duty. ..to see emergency workers who are killed in the line of duty honoured with a special medal. a campaign backed today

by ray davenport's family. i think it's a shame that it's not already put in place because it should always be remembered, and i feel like these awards are something that should be handed out to not only remember those who have fallen but to be a support for the family. we keep their memory alive but we have lost. whereas if you have got something tangible, you could have it, you could wear it, you could have it mounted, you could have it in your home and it is something. it's there and it's a reminder. this kind of award already exists for the armed forces but an equivalent does not exist for the emergency services. the opportunity lies here, now. i mean, across emergency services partners, i think there is a groundswell of opinion that this is a fantastic thing to do, to recognise those emergency services workers who do pay that ultimate sacrifice and lose their life. firefighters and other emergency services workers are just ordinary people but they do an extraordinaryjob.

in ray's belongings was this, his old whistle. now engraved with the badge number he and his granddaughter both share. i sort of have him constantly in the back of my mind, thinking, "oh, god, he's watching me," like, i need to make sure that i'm sort of staying in check. it is something that i'm going to really enjoy about the job, is that you are going to be there when people need you most. that is what makes me want to strive to be like him. our thanks to jayne and nina for telling us about their dad and grandad, ray davenport. another police officer who was killed while trying to stop vehicle thieves was pc andrew harper, who died in berkshire in 2019. after the campaign was launched on breakfast yesterday, his widow lissie got in touch to us offering her support. ijust want to read part of this.

we are going to be discussing that a bit later on in the programme as well. yes, we are going to keep on talking about it. last week, it was gas and electricity bills. yesterday, it was eggs. from tomorrow, there will be some more bad news for the bank balance for some people. nina's talking about national insurance this morning and is here with the details. this was the announcement that came last september, for more funding for health and social care but you won't find many people who will say we don't need more money for the borlee and vulnerable but of course, it has to be paid for, it has to come from somewhere. good morning. we're talking about national insurance. most working adults pay it, and it goes into a big pot to help pay for things like the state pension, statutory sick pay or maternity leave. but the government says the last few

years have taken a big toll on health and social care, and they want us to pay more to help fund it directly. to be precise, 1.25 percentage points more. that means 1.25p more in each pound. what does it mean for your take home pay? well, if you earn £30,000 a year, you will pay an extra £214 annually in national insurance. if you earn £80,000 a year, it adds up to an extra £839. there is another shift on the horizon. from july, the point at which you start paying national insurance will go up from just under £10,000, tojust over £12,500. these changes overall mean anyone earning under £34,000 will overall pay less. anyone earning over that amount will pay more national insurance than before. and this is all happening at the same time as changes to income tax. the point at which we start

paying that, and the point at which we pay more, are being frozen for four years. as prices go up, the amount we pay is more. so this month, you will see, in cash terms, you will see your take—home pay go down as a result of the national insurance increase. you won't see your take—home pay go down as a result of the freezing of the tax threshold. but as your pay hopefully goes up over the year, more of your pay will be taken in income tax because that income tax threshold has not been increased in line with inflation. you need to increase it every year in line with inflation to keep the tax burden the same. the fact it is not being increased is a tax rise even though it won't take any more, you won't feel it in your pay packet in the same way this month as you will feel the impact of the national insurance change. all of this comes at a time of rising energy, water

and council tax bills. the national insurance increase tomorrow could have a very big impact. lots of low income households, whether they are in work or not, are going to be relying on things like universal credit. we had the £20 uplift from universal credit that was taken away last year. the universal credit amount is not being uprated at the same level as what inflation actually is, and that is happening at the same time as we have seen a 54% increase in the energy cap. so as i keep saying, you know, this is a perfect storm for households. and let's not forget that lots of these households saw a reduction in their income, either from a reduction in hours or losing theirjob, through the pandemic, and they borrowed to be able to make ends meet and now they are just trying to get back on their feet and they are facing a once in a generation cost of living crisis. the government told us they understand that people are struggling, the national living wage has gone up and they have packaged up has gone up and they have packaged up £9 billion of support for energy bills. but that is just the story for individuals who will be paying

more, businesses contribute to all of their employees' national insurance and we will be talking to some of those tomorrow. thanks, we will see you later. more than 100,000 people from the uk have signed up to take in refugees when the government's "homes for ukraine" scheme opened last month. the process has been criticised by some for being too slow but for one host family from essex it has been worth the wait as zoe o brien now reports. hello! they were among the first ukrainians to _ hello! they were among the first ukrainians to arrive, _ hello! they were among the first ukrainians to arrive, greeted i hello! they were among the first ukrainians to arrive, greeted by| ukrainians to arrive, greeted by their host at stansted airport. now almost a week on, they are getting settled into their temporary home in billericay. the mother and daughter escaped ukraine by train, then boss, before boarding a flight to the uk out of lithuania. it is thanks to their essex hosts that they feel safe for the first time since water or through their country. translation: it or through their country. translation:— or through their country. translation: , , ., translation: it is still a little bit strange. — translation: it is still a little bit strange, whenever-

mikel arteta was named manager of the month for march, but palace were fast making his side look like fools. less then ten minutes after going a goal down, arsenal's defence slipped up again and the home side went 2—0 up. you couldn't tell from the finish that this was onlyjordan ayew�*s second goal of the season. it did not matter what arsenal did, this wasn't going to be their night. they felt they should have been a penalty. it wasn't given. but when wilfried zaha went down, it was and arsenal's hopes went with it. palace fans delirious, but so too will be tottenham's, as they stay ahead in the race for fourth place. nick parrott, bbc news. the champions league quarterfinals get under way tonight with liverpool in portugal to take on benfica. jurgen klopp�*s side are the big favourites to progress, and with the league cup already won, they have their eyes on an unprecedented quadruple. but the players aren't getting carried away just yet.

we just want to make this season hopefully an unforgettable one. for us as players, for the staff but as a whole club, you know. i think the things that have been going on at the moment with liverpool is something that no one should take for granted. you know, we are as a group very stable, we have a fantastic squad, with the manager, the whole relation with the club. meanwhile, manchester city, who're on the hunt for their first champions league title, are at home to atletico madrid in the first leg of their quarterfinal. manager pep guardiola has been criticised in the past for "overthinking" his tactics in big games, and yesterday, hejoked that he planned to do it again. i overthink a lot. and is that fair? absolutely. that is why i have had very good results in the champions league. i love... it would be boring, myjob, if i have to be the se if i have to be the

for a potential comeback. the is—time major winner was back on the course at augusta on monday, with a decision still to be announced on whether he takes part. we could hear the loud roar when he came out of the clubhouse on that first tee. that was pretty special to see him, or to hear, at least. and...couldn�*t be more happy for him, in the place he's at right now, coming back, and proud of him, too. i mean, shoot, coming back off of that injury, you know, we've had some conversations and, man, i don't know how he's done it. it's very impressive. it is incredible to think it has just been a year since that terrible accident. i just been a year since that terrible accident. ., ., . ., accident. i love how excited all the other golfers _ accident. i love how excited all the other golfers are! _ accident. i love how excited all the other golfers are! yes, _ accident. i love how excited all the other golfers are! yes, the - accident. i love how excited all the other golfers are! yes, the circles| other golfers are! yes, the circles around him _ other golfers are! yes, the circles around him has _ other golfers are! yes, the circles around him has returned. - other golfers are! yes, the circles around him has returned. but - other golfers are! yes, the circles around him has returned. but all| around him has returned. but all sorts around him has returned. but all sports need _ around him has returned. but all sports need somebody _ around him has returned. but all sports need somebody like - around him has returned. but all sports need somebody like that, j sports need somebody like that, don't they? there are some big stars in goals but still nobody quite like tiger woods do quite so inspirational and speaking of inspirational, ourvery inspirational and speaking of inspirational, our very good friend rob burrow. nobody like him either.

the north of scotland and we are forecasting snow here today. this weather front bringing in forecasting snow here today. this weatherfront bringing in rain, some heavy come across much of scotland, getting into northern ireland later. for england and wales, rain to clear and then a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and a few showers. we could see as much as ten centimetres of snow in the grampians, 15 centimetres in the highlands on higher ground. but in some of the heavier bursts, some of it will get down to lower levels so it may cause some disruption. cold where we have this no of course but mild everywhere else, ii—is this no of course but mild everywhere else, 11—15 the general temperatures. as we head through the evening and overnight, what do you will find is the front in scotland sinks south as a weakening feature, taking its increasingly patchy rain with it. some sharp showers developing across northern england and north—west wales, potentially with some thunder and lightning embedded in them. fora with some thunder and lightning embedded in them. for a time, there is no level will rise across the far north of scotland and eventually, it willjust be rain. the risk of ice

on untreated surfaces in the north—east. as we head through wednesday, we still have this weather front. wednesday, we still have this weatherfront. one look wednesday, we still have this weather front. one look at the isobars tells you it will be windy, particularly later in the day. generally again, a lot of sunshine, a lot of dry weather but you can see a lot of dry weather but you can see a plethora of showers abounding as well. some of those could be quite heavy, too. don't forget, it is going to be windy with the potential for gates across northern ireland and south—west scotland, winter becoming more widespread as we go through the course of the evening. here is our weather front draped across the north of scotland, bringing some rain at times in across the western isles as well. temperatures during the course of wednesday, four in lerwick, still in the cold air but again, although the temperatures have dipped, still in double figures for much of the rest of the country. as we head from wednesday into thursday, look how we lose the milder yellow and the blue follows behind, indicating it is turning colder and we have a brisk northerly wind as well. to start with, the chance of some rain across

southern counties of england before that clears away to the south—east. we have got behind the weather front all of these wintry showers spreading northwards which will be a mixture of rain, sleet and hail snow. some of them moving across england and wales as well. it will feel colder. don't forget, a brisk northerly wind so there will be a winter chill to add into those temperatures. ten and ii as we push further south. as we move on from thursday into friday, we follow this front which comes back up and clips the south of england again. still a level of uncertainty about its northern extent. it is likely to bring rain and just the potential of some hill snow, something we are keeping a close eye on. then it pulls away and again, another colgate with a mixture of sunshine and wintry showers, most of those on the heels but you will need to wrap up the heels but you will need to wrap up warm because there is no heatwave in prospect. carol, thank you very much indeed and he does love you, i know he does! he told me. we

(emf. morning, both. this report is really worrying and a massive wake—up call. it really highlights some of the big problems the health service is facing at the moment. what we are seeing is huge numbers of people who are waiting too long to get that diagnosis and even if they do have a

diagnosis, at macmillan, we know having that quick diagnosis and quality of care is so important to help people survive their cancer and give them the best chance of recovery so it is really important that we see credible work planning and a long—term investment, so we have the right amount of doctors and nurses for care and treatment with anyone fighting a cancer diagnosis. and what solutions do you need immediately? where are the gaps that need to be filled to help people who might be waiting for a diagnosis or being diagnosed at the moment? this is a reall being diagnosed at the moment? ii 3 is a really big problem and it is important to remember that we were struggling with gaps in the cancer workforce prior to the pandemic and the pandemic has really defined the challenges. it is about looking at every stage of the cancer pathway. with our analysis at macmillan, we have estimated that by 2030 alone, we will need 4000 cancer nurses across the uk. it is places like those where we need to start

investing now, to build the pipeline so we have people in the future providing that care and support. it is also about making sure we have got urgent investment in the workforce now to deal with the backlog in cancer care. the government currently is consulting on a ten year plan on the future of cancer services. that is really exciting and really welcome but it won't be achievable unless we have got people in place to provide that quality of care and support for people. quality of care and support for --eole. ., quality of care and support for eo le, ., ., quality of care and support for --eole. ., ., ., , , people. you no doubt, there will be --eole people. you no doubt, there will be people watching — people. you no doubt, there will be people watching this _ people. you no doubt, there will be people watching this who _ people. you no doubt, there will be people watching this who are - people. you no doubt, there will be| people watching this who are people worrying about a lump they have handled something they are concerned about. is there a worry from their perspective and can you understand that concern that they might not be feeling confident about getting the best care at the moment? definitely come at macmillan, _ best care at the moment? definitely come at macmillan, we _ best care at the moment? definitely come at macmillan, we speak - best care at the moment? definitely come at macmillan, we speak to - come at macmillan, we speak to people with cancer every day and when you receive the news that you have cancer, that in itself is really hard to deal with, let alone then the challenges when you can't speak to a gp, you can't get your treatment on time. 1000 we spoke to

in london said that she felt miserable during the process. —— one person we spoke to. she felt miserable when she received her terminal diagnosis, she struggled to get the personal touch from people and one thing that we hear and i hear every day in myjob is that personal support from somebody like a cancer nurse makes a huge amount of difference and helps people to manage their treatment, deal with the side effects, so it is really imperative that government uses this report as a wake—up call to make sure we have got that pipeline of cancer nurses, doctors, radiographers, so that any of us who face a cancer diagnosis knows the care and support will be there for us. ~ . care and support will be there for us, ~ ., ., , ., care and support will be there for us. what about people who might be a bit concerned — us. what about people who might be a bit concerned about _ us. what about people who might be a bit concerned about their _ us. what about people who might be a bit concerned about their health - us. what about people who might be a bit concerned about their health but i bit concerned about their health but not totally sure there is something wrong and perhaps because of the situation we are in at the moment and we are talking all the time about how busy gps are, waiting lists in the nhs, perhaps don't want to bother their doctor, what would you say to them? 50. to bother their doctor, what would you say to them?— to bother their doctor, what would you say to them? so, we would say,

where a woman from tower hamlets was taken to hospital. more than a thousand complaints about noise on the tube were made in the past three years. figures from city hall show the majority of complaints were about the northern and victoria lines. transport for london says it's often down to track faults and spends around £150 million each year making improvements. a mother from ukraine who was forced to flee the country is one of many who says she waited weeks for permission to enter the uk. yulia, who is from cherkasy, said it took 20 days to get a uk visa. her niece lina helped with the application, but was surprised at how long it took. we are extremely grateful but the process itself, it is beyond lengthy. we have friends that are trying to bring people that they don't know into their homes and they kind of have to cancel because they don't have enough money to go

by where they are currently, romania, poland. it's heartbreaking. the home office says it has streamlined the process and boosted caseworker numbers, while ensuring security checks are carried out. travel now, and this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's no service on the northern line between kennington and moorgate due to long term upgrade work. a good service on all other lines. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. all in all, it's a nicer looking day of weather today across the capital than we saw yesterday. it should be mostly dry. it's not as blustery and it's still mild, too, in fact, a very mild start to the morning. temperatures are in double figures for most of us, 10—11 celsius. lots of cloud around for the first half of the day could produce perhaps a few spits and spots of light, patchy rain and drizzle here and there. it won't really amount to very much at all. and then into the afternoon, that cloud will start to thin

to give us some brighter spells and perhaps even some spells of sunshine here and there. top temperatures in the best of that brightness, 15 celsius. still a westerly wind going on, it's quite noticeable, but not as brisk as it was yesterday. and then overnight tonight, it's more of the same. so we'll keep those layers of cloud. it's looking mostly dry, but a patchy rain always possible. temperatures dropping at their lowest down to high single figures. so another mild start to the day again tomorrow. tomorrow, a cold front sinks southwards, introducing some showers. some slightly colder feeling air too on wednesday, 12 celsius, and it will be rather blustery, a brisk westerly wind blowing. that wind turns into a chilly northerly by the time we get to thursday, with some cold arctic air. that's it for now. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. there's lot more on our website at the usual address. now though, it's back to sally and dan. bye for now.

good morning, welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today: ukraine's president zelensky is to address the united nations today for the first time since russia's invasion — as he calls for a full investigation

into atrocities by russian forces. a british father and his nine—year—old son have died after being caught in a landslide while on holiday in australia. bosses at channel 4 say they're disappointed at the government's decision to privatise the broadcaster. i got these from the shop. i can't have them, a bug get my stomach on. goodbye to dot cotton. tributes to eastenders legend june brown, who's died at the age of 95. the arsenal manager apologises to their fans — it's after they were thumped 3—0 by crystal palace, leaving mikel arteta's men in a fight for the final champions league spot. good morning. for many of us today, it will be another mild day with bright sunny skies, and here and there, some patchy light rain. the exception is in scotland, where

there is heavy rain, and across the highlands and grampian is some snow forecast. all the details throughout the programme. it's tuesday the 5th of april. the ukrainian president will address the united nations today — for the first time since the russian invasion. volodymyr zelensky will speak to an emergency meeting of the un security council, which includes russia, following growing evidence of atrocities. the kremlin continues to deny any wrongdoing. vincent mcaviney has the latest. the destruction left behind by the russian invaders in bucha, a town in an area reclaimed by the ukrainians, is visible from space in these new satellite images. but to see the destruction wrought on thousands of lives, president zelensky visited himself. what he found was streets and graves filled with the bodies of ordinary citizens, many with their hands tied behind their backs and gunshot wounds. for vlad, his town is now haunted.

translation: people have been shot in the head by russian snipers. - people on bicycles, people delivering potatoes. i can tell you so many stories, but i don't want to. i want to forget them. the kremlin claim these scenes and testimonies are fake. from the very beginning, it has been clear that this is nothing else but yet another staged provocation aimed at discrediting and dehumanising the russian military, and levelling political pressure on russia. but today, president zelensky will tell an emergency meeting of the un security council his country wants a complete and transparent investigation into what he's calling a genocide. in washington, president biden is convinced putin should pay a price. you may remember, i got criticised for calling putin a war criminal. well, the truth of the matter —

you saw what happened in bucha. this warrants him, he is a war criminal. world leaders know the chances of putin ever facing international justice are slim, so for now the focus is on ramping up sanctions to thwart him. the eu is considering action on russian oil and coal, but not gas, due to its heavy dependence, and foreign secretary liz truss has promised tough new measures will be announced at a g7 meeting later in the week. bucha may now be free of russian soldiers, but the people have paid a heavy price with the lives of loved ones. their only hope of solace now is to try to help war crimes investigators secure the evidence. but in cities, towns and villages across this country, where russians still patrol the streets, the suspected atrocities are ongoing and they may not be as careless with the evidence any longer. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. tens of thousands of civilians

remain trapped in the south—eastern port city of mariupol, which has been reduced to rubble by weeks of russian shelling. however, some refugees have managed to make their own way to safety, as our correspondent tom bateman reports from the town of zaporizhia. all they had to warn off the russian guns was a white scarf. they have survived the long journey through the front line but now they are pleading for help for those left in mariupol. translation: ifeel pity for the kids, the women. how many homes were destroyed? you can rebuild houses but you can't bring people back. hundreds are managing to make it to zaporizhzhia each day. their future is uncertain, the fate of many more unknown. these people have had no choice but to get out by themselves as that

official aid convoy is still unable to make progress. and they are in a sense now the luckier ones because of course, the fear is, south of here, behind the russian lines that they have come through, the war is likely to get much worse. russia has laid siege to mariupol for over a month now. nearly 5000 people, including more than 200 children, have been killed, say ukraine officials. this is your home? lubov shows me what is left of where she lived. with her son and granddaughter, she sheltered in the basement for days. "this was my daughter's house," she says. and what do you feel when you look at these pictures? "what do i feel? i can't feel anything," says lubov.

"i love mariupol. russia being so big, people are scared of it. they shouldn't be. little ukraine is fighting back," she says. lubov and her son valeri walked for miles and drove for days. now they are helped at this red cross centre. but others want to get back to mariupol. yevgeni left for a work trip just before the invasion. he texts his wife, svetla na, every day, but there is answer. they last spoke a month ago in a desperate call during the shelling, and now their home is gone. translation: it doesn't exist any more. - it has been destroyed by shelling or an air strike. i don't have anywhere to go. and i still don't know whether my wife is alive or not. they are urgently trying

to track down the missing, as the world braces to see what else lies beyond the front lines here. but for some now at least, it is the end of a journey, of fear and survival. tom bateman, bbc news, zaporizhzhia in eastern ukraine. our correspondent jenny hill is in moscow. jenny, russia is a permanent member of the un security council. will they even attend today's meeting? well, the indications are that they will, yes. the russian envoy to the un has said that they are not only going to attend, they are going to provide evidence that there are forces, they say, were not involved in what happened in the civilian killings in bucha so we will have to wait and see what they provide. as you know, the kremlin continues to deny any kind of involvement in the

allegations of war crimes there, and we've had more of that insistent denial overnight. the russian ambassador to the us has said these are unfounded accusations, coordinated efforts by western countries to demonise the russian army. as you know, the kremlin has accused ukraine of faking the pictures that you've seen, the witness accounts you may have heard or read in places like bucha, it says its troops have nothing to do with that and it says ukraine has in essence made it all up in order to make russia look bad and to escalate violence and to disrupt ongoing peace talks. it is a classic kremlin tactic, this, we have seen them do it before or during other conflicts. we saw them try to do itjust last month when that hospital in mariupol was struck by an apparent missile. russians then this was fake news,

concocted by ukraine, aided by the west, spread by westernjournalists. it is interesting that they continue to use this tactic, because of course, russia invaded ukraine and yet, it continues to try to portray its neighbour as the real aggressor here. it says that ukraine is fabricating all of this evidence of war crimes in order to ratchet up conflict and two, in effect, attack russia. 1 , conflict and two, in effect, attack russia. , . ~ conflict and two, in effect, attack russia. , ., ~ i. , conflict and two, in effect, attack russia. , ., ~ , . russia. jenny, thank you very much for that, russia. jenny, thank you very much for that. we — russia. jenny, thank you very much for that, we will— russia. jenny, thank you very much for that, we will keep _ russia. jenny, thank you very much for that, we will keep a _ russia. jenny, thank you very much for that, we will keep a close - russia. jenny, thank you very much for that, we will keep a close eye i for that, we will keep a close eye on those developments. our correspondent emma vardy is in the western city of lviv. emma, we know that the humanitarian situation is getting worse and this will be a big reason why volodymyr zelensky has now decided to speak to the un today? yes, that's right. he knows the world is watching ever more closely now since those shocking images that

have been coming out in towns like bucha for so he will cover international involvement in helping to document the alleged atrocity on the ground. he has already started that process, he says, with a special team here in ukraine helping to gather the evidence in those towns that russian forces have withdrawn from, and he wants the world to see what he says is the alleged massacre of ukrainian civilians here, he wants that to be very transparent. that process had already begun to some extent with the us, sending support, a team of international experts at the request of ukrainian officials to help work on the ground. the eu team say it will send war crimes experts to help figure out what has gone on in these towns, because of course it is still early days, and the images we are seeing coming out of the moment are just the early testimonies from journalists and film crews who are on the ground there. but it can take many years to bring perpetrators to

justice for alleged war crimes. at the moment, mr zelensky says he has been compiling, his officials have been compiling, his officials have been compiling, his officials have been compiling lists of military personnel and what they know about the russian forces that were in these areas because it is easier to prosecute a soldier in international criminal court for alleged war crimes than it is to prosecute a world leader like vladimir putin. and what about the situation in mariupol where people remain trapped? it mariupolwhere people remain tra ed? . , mariupolwhere people remain traued? ., , . , trapped? it remains increasingly desperate- _ trapped? it remains increasingly desperate. there _ trapped? it remains increasingly desperate. there is _ trapped? it remains increasingly desperate. there is still - trapped? it remains increasingly desperate. there is still heavy i desperate. there is still heavy fighting around this city. there have been repeated attempts of the last week by the red cross, with a convoy of vehicles who helped to get to mariupol and evacuate the many desperate citizens there. we heard yesterday that the red cross team are being held by police in russian held territory. they are about 12 miles away from the city, but being held and we understand the red cross is trying to resolve that, to resume the evacuation as soon as possible. thank you very much indeed. emma

vardy in lviv. channel 4 says the government's decision to sell the broadcaster is disappointing. ministers say public ownership was holding the broadcaster back against streaming giants like netflix and amazon prime. our political correspondent damian grammaticus is in westminster. damian, this decision has attracted a lot of criticism. it has, yes. one of the criticisms already is that this has been announced by a tweet in the middle of a parliamentary recess, so that's one thing that's come out, but much more going into the substance of it, what the government says is that channel 4 is a government owned public service, that public service remit would stay, including the commitment to prime—time news, but what it says is that in its view, channel 4 is being held back by its inability to raise finance, its

inability to raise finance, its inability to raise finance, its inability to own the copyright to its own for the intellectual rights to the programmes it makes, and that this would free it up. channel 4 and the opposition to it from other opposition parties, the creative industries, saying that that is not the case, they say channel 4 doesn't cost the public a penny, that it is a crucial part of the creative industries in this country, that it spreads that business around the country. the government says this will contribute to levelling—up but what the opposition say is that it will not. this is something that is not needed at a time of many other priorities. not needed at a time of many other riorities. . ~ not needed at a time of many other riorities. ., ~ , ., , . priorities. thank you very much for that. another _ priorities. thank you very much for that. another story _ priorities. thank you very much for that. another story we _ priorities. thank you very much for that. another story we will - priorities. thank you very much for| that. another story we will continue to follow through the course of this programme and throughout the bbc. a british father and his nine—year—old son have died after a family was caught in a landslide while on holiday in australia. two other members of the family — thought to be the mother and another son — are in a critical condition. isabelle mullen is a reporterfor seven news — she's outside the hospital

where they're being treated. isabelle, this sounds like a truly horrendous incident. it certainly is. good morning to you both. it is a horrific incident and a tragedy which unfolded at about 1:30 yesterday afternoon. the 49—year—old father, his nine—year—old son were killed in a landslide. the 50—year—old mother and another 14—year—old son were critically injured. we are in a part of the blue mountains which is quite remote. —— they were in a park. it is surrounded by dense bushland and the area is prone to landslides. the only person who was able to walk out was their 15—year—old daughter, she had to walk 98 minutes to call for help, telling authorities who she found that she had no idea where she was. thankfully, they were able to retrieve those two bodies, the

father and one of the sons early this morning. the mother and the other son were flown here to westmead hospitalfor other son were flown here to westmead hospital for treatment, where they are still this afternoon. it looks dry and clear where you are, can you talk to us about the weather conditions yesterday, what was happening?— weather conditions yesterday, what was happening? yes, that's right, it certainly does _ was happening? yes, that's right, it certainly does look _ was happening? yes, that's right, it certainly does look dry _ was happening? yes, that's right, it certainly does look dry and - was happening? yes, that's right, it certainly does look dry and clear. i certainly does look dry and clear. it was also dry and clear yesterday, it was a beautiful day for tippett was meant to be the holiday of a lifetime, so it is a beautiful day for tippett was meant to be the holiday of a lifetime, so sandoval thought they could go out, the track was open, it had been open for some time. but here in sydney and across the blue mountains, we have been experiencing weeks of relentless rain, so the conditions were a little bit treacherous, they were number up wiser. this is not the first time that one of these accidents has happened. in 2017, a new south wales parks and wildlife officer was also killed tragically on the same track, or a same section

of track. other tracks around it, they have been closed since, but i should stress, the track they were on was open. should stress, the track they were on was open-— should stress, the track they were on was open. thank you very much indeed. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, what's happening? good morning, what's happening? good morning, what's happening? good morning, both. we have two air masses at the moment. this chart tells you that the most we are in the mild air mass, a mild started the mild air mass, a mild started the day. but in the north and north—east of scotland, a cold air mass. in between, a weatherfront which is currently producing some rain. the heaviest rain will across scotland and you can see in the cold air mass we have some snow forecast for the highlands and grampians. we could have as much as 10 centimetres in the grampians, 15 centimetres in the highlands. we will see some of this getting down to lower levels as

well. it will feel cold, of course, where we have this now, but milder as it pushes further south. talking of further south, we will see further rain coming into northern ireland. for england and wales, we lose the rain and it will brighten up lose the rain and it will brighten up but there is still going to be some patchy light rain and drizzle, particularly across northern and in parts of wales and at to the south—west. temperatures ranging from 3 in aberdeen, to 15 in norwich. this evening and overnight, the rain moves out of scotland and crosses england and wales, is a weak feature footer behind in the northern north west wales, some sharp showers and then we have our weather front across the far north of scotland heading towards the western isles. for a time the snow level will rise, then it will become rain, and a risk of ice and untreated surfaces in the far north—east of scotland. tomorrow, say goodbye to the first weather front, behind it there will be a bright spell of sunshine and some sharp showers with some hail. then

you can see again, we still do have our rain across the far north and north—west. windy tomorrow, especially across south—west scotland and northern ireland but through the evening, a widespread strong wind and we will see a return to snow overnight across the north of scotland. so lots going on with the weather in the next few days. lots to pay attention to, thank you. when it comes to dream venues for playing music, a modest two—up—two—down might not be many artists' first choice. then again, it depends who used to live there. unsigned musicians are being offered the chance to play a gig in a very special house which played a pivotal role in pop history. breakfast�*sjohn maguire went to take a look. # she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah # she loves you, yeah, yeah...# there are places we remember all our lives, though some have changed. that's not the case here, though — 20 forthlin road in liverpool has been restored to look as it did

when paul mccartney lived here as a teenager. ah, drum kit! drum kit. who would have thought that? look at this. there's the drum kit. not the original? just similar. there is me, as a quarryman. his younger brother mike is showing us around. 6922, can i help you? no, sorry, nobody here. no, it's just a little two up, two down terraced house in liverpool. no, nothing much happened from here. mike's photos adorn the walls and help to tell the beatles' early story. paul and john lennon wrote many of the best—known songs here, some while bunking off school. love me do, when i'm 64, and captured by mike's camera, i saw her standing there. our kid once said to me, that's an important photograph, because it shows the way it was. it was two lads, two friends, two mates, two good friends getting down to the nitty—gritty

of doing songs, right? that schoolbook and that picture, you can just see very clearly, "i saw her standing there." # oh, and i saw her standing there...# to hear the guitars on that day, and just doing whatever it is, she loves you, i think they did that here, a couple of big hits were done, i think, probably in this room. the house and the pictures capture moments in time. it wasn't long after mum died, actually. and so, our kid would get lost in his guitar. and so, he was out in the garden on the deckchair with the washing above his head, so ijust liked it, through mum's net curtains, and our kid has used that on his chaos and creation album, and also for his lyrics book, so he must like it too. it means a lot to him?

yeah, yeah, it means a lot to us both. now owned by the national trust, it is open inside the pre—booked groups, but outside, it's a must see on beatles tours. bothjim and mary's sons had number one hit singles... this is where lennon and mccartney took their first steps on the long and winding road to become the biggest band in the world. and it is about to be used again to inspire the next generation. # blackbird singing in the dead of night # take these broken wings and learn to fly...# unsigned music artists over the age of 18 can apply to spend time here writing and performing as part of what's being called the forthlin sessions. mackenzie and dylan are both students at the liverpool institute for performing arts, set up by sir paul. the chance to sit where he sat,

play where he played would, they say, be the chance of a lifetime. ithink, like, the place you are serves so much inspiration when you're writing music, and that was one of the main reasons that i wanted to come to liverpool. it has so much music history already. but to get the opportunity to actually sit here and write a song or play, like, where paul mccartney and sometimesjohn lennon wrote the early beatles songs isjust, like, i can't even comprehend, like, how cool that is. just because there's got to be some sort of, like, energy there, left over from that, you know, because it was so important for music history. if the walls could sing! exactly, if they could talk, i mean, i would love to hear all the stories, you know? he is a cultural icon and, you know, we're so lucky that he is around i | performing and stuff like that, j but to go in there and sit down in the walls that he did isjust... every musician's dream, i think. mine, anyway! the beatles blazed a trail young musicians have been following ever since,

and the national trust is asking for stories from the public of how the band's music has inspired them. this year marks the 60th anniversary of the fab four�*s first hit, a song written in this two up, two down in liverpool that went around the world and across the universe. bye, house. john maguire, bbc news, liverpool. we keep calling it a two up, two down, but that's a nice house! you said that down, but that's a nice house! i'm. said that throughout the entire featl said that throughout the entire feati. that's a proper slice of history. feati. that's a proper slice of histo . a . feati. that's a proper slice of histo . . . ,, from an icon of british pop music to one of british television — the actorjune brown, who has died at the age of 95. her stage and screen career spanned seven decades but she will — of course — be forever known as eastenders' chain—smoking, bible—quoting laundrette worker, dot cotton.

hello,jim. it's me, dorothy. give us a tea, lofty. and a glass of water, so i can take a paracetamol. you silly little man! all right, you made your point. i shall have a migraine, of course. oh, well, see, i thought of that and i got you these from the shop. oh, i don't touch them, bring my stomach on. oh, stop struggling. your mummy�*s only gone to the little old lady's room. she'll be back in a sec. life's not time's fool, the ruby lips and rosy cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come. why is it, ethel, that men, even religious men who collect bibles, can only think of the one thing? i love the stage. you see, it is alive, this theatre. it has had live words spoken in, live reactions. everything has been live. i just want to act, you see. i really do. please welcome - the unique june brown!

cheering and applause are you familiar, _ lady gaga, with eastenders? no, don't say yes, darling. if you're not, you're not, and i don't blame you. applause lam... yes. and i actually am a very big fan of yours. ijust don't watch a lot of television. well, i don't watch any. laughter incredible woman. what a career. at around 8.45 we'll be speaking to two ofjune's former eastenders co—stars — michael cashman, who played colin the yuppie in the soap's early years, and lacey turner, who plays stacey slater. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. more than 1,000 complaints about noise on the tube were made in the past three years. figures from city hall show the majority of complaints were about the northern and victoria lines. transport for london says it's often down to wear and tear and tear and track faults, and it spends around £150 million each year making improvements. a mother from ukraine who was forced to flee the country is one of many who says she waited weeks for permission to enter the uk. yulia, who is from cherkasy, said it took 20 days to get a uk visa. her niece lina helped with the application, but was surprised at how long it took. we are extremely grateful but the process itself, it is beyond lengthy. we have friends that are trying to bring people that they don't know into their homes and they kind of have to cancel because they don't have enough money to go

by where they are currently, romania, poland. it's heartbreaking. the home office says it has streamlined the process and boosted case worker numbers, while ensuring security checks are carried out. as covid cases reach record levels across the uk, on bbc london later we'll be looking at situation in the capital. is there a question you'd like answered? from changes to testing, to rising rates — we'll be finding out about a range of issues on our 6.30pm programme tonight. you can get in touch by emailing hellobbclondon at bbc.co.uk travel now and, this is how tfl services are looking right now. a good service on most lines. just the usual issue on the nothern line. there's no service between kennington and moorgate due to long term upgrade work. onto the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. all in all, it's a nicer looking day of weather today across the capital

than we saw yesterday. it should be mostly dry. it's not as blustery and it's still mild, too, in fact, a very mild start to the morning. temperatures are in double figures for most of us, 10—11 celsius. lots of cloud around for the first half of the day could produce perhaps a few spits and spots of light, patchy rain and drizzle here and there. it won't really amount to very much at all. and then into the afternoon, that cloud will start to thin to give us some brighter spells and perhaps even some spells of sunshine here and there. top temperatures in the best of that brightness, 15 celsius. still a westerly wind going on, it's quite noticeable, but not as brisk as it was yesterday. and then overnight tonight, it's more of the same. so we'll keep those layers of cloud. it's looking mostly dry, bit of patchy rain always possible. temperatures dropping at their lowest down to high single figures. so another mild start to the day again tomorrow. tomorrow, a cold front sinks southwards, introducing some showers. some slightly colder feeling air too on wednesday, 12 celsius, and it will be rather blustery, a brisk westerly wind blowing.

that wind turns into a chilly northerly by the time we get to thursday, with some cold arctic air. that's it for now. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. there's lot more on our website at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. it's nearly 29 years since stephen lawrence was murdered by racist thugs while he waited for a bus in london. in that time, his family became known for their dignified but relentless pursuit ofjustice. now stephen's younger brother stuart has written a book aimed at younger people which aims to pass on some of the lessons he's learned about resilience and coping with adversity. stuart joins us now. thank you forjoining us. thank you.

to put them all together and help other young people stop at one of the things you say in the book is your biggest failure after stephen died was he did not take time to process your feelings about what happened. how did you learn to process them and talented that take? are you still processing, may be are now. i are you still processing, may be are now. , . _ are you still processing, may be are now. , ., ., are you still processing, may be are now. , . now. i still am, i say to people, urief is now. i still am, i say to people, grief is a _ now. i still am, i say to people, grief is a piece _ now. i still am, i say to people, grief is a piece of _ now. i still am, i say to people, grief is a piece of string, - now. i still am, i say to people, grief is a piece of string, it i now. i still am, i say to people, grief is a piece of string, it is i grief is a piece of string, it is different for different people, how you deal with it and what you go through is unique to each person. i definitely wish i had taken some time, had some time to breathe and reflect on where i wanted to go and what i wanted to do next but in the moment you think it is ok to carry on and that was the best thing for me at the time but on reflection, i think it is better to take some time. ., . ~' think it is better to take some time. ., . ~ ,., ., ~' think it is better to take some time. ., . ~ . time. you talk in the book about silence not _ time. you talk in the book about silence not being _ time. you talk in the book about silence not being an _ time. you talk in the book about silence not being an option, i time. you talk in the book about silence not being an option, you| silence not being an option, you talk about things that lots of people, particularly younger people, might not be comfortable expressing. yes. ., ,., . , . might not be comfortable expressing. yes. ., . , . yes. how important is it that you can make — yes. how important is it that you can make young _ yes. how important is it that you can make young people - yes. how important is it that you | can make young people confident yes. how important is it that you i can make young people confident to say things they are feeling? i can make young people confident to say things they are feeling?- say things they are feeling? i think eseciall say things they are feeling? i think especially for _ say things they are feeling? i think especially for boys, _ say things they are feeling? i think especially for boys, i _

we are having open discussions and i feel like through those, we are all getting a little bit better and all learning a bit more. in that learning a bit more. in that learning and development, surely the world will be a better place. you talk about _ world will be a better place. you talk about giving _ world will be a better place. you talk about giving children and people the language to express themselves. what about things like themselves. what about things like the setting to express themselves? how do we talk to our kids about difficult subjects? i how do we talk to our kids about difficult subjects?— difficult sub'ects? i find that we have to difficult subjects? i find that we have to find _ difficult subjects? i find that we have to find those _ difficult subjects? i find that we have to find those times, i difficult subjects? i find that we have to find those times, it i difficult subjects? i find that we i have to find those times, it could be in the car on the way somewhere, i think dinner time is a great time as well, and sometimes, it is not starting the whole thing off, what did you do at school today? i remember asking that question, what was the most interesting thing you learn today, what surprised you most today, these are great ways of opening conversations up and really getting to the point you may want to ask about but by asking rounded questions, the conversation seems to flow. who did you sit next to at lunch today? what did they think of lunch? and then starting the conversation, once they start to open up, you can steer the

conversation to different places. it is interesting because i've got three kids myself and there is always something they want to talk to you about, it is just how long you have to get to to dig there and it takes time to crack it open sometimes. it takes time to crack it open sometimes-— it takes time to crack it open sometimes. �* . , , ,., , sometimes. and as parents sometimes as well, sometimes. and as parents sometimes as well. always — sometimes. and as parents sometimes as well, always busy, _ sometimes. and as parents sometimes as well, always busy, there's _ sometimes. and as parents sometimes as well, always busy, there's always i as well, always busy, there's always something to do, rushing around so you are right, it is about the layering of conversation and allowing them to tease it out. we know that dame cressida dick is stepping down very soon and we spoke to you about it back in february when the announcement was made. how important is it to you that she goes now? i important is it to you that she goes now? ., ,., ., important is it to you that she goes now? ., ., , .,, important is it to you that she goes now? . . ._ now? i have said to people already, she is going — now? i have said to people already, she is going but _ now? i have said to people already, she is going but the _ now? i have said to people already, she is going but the culture - now? i have said to people already, she is going but the culture of- now? i have said to people already, she is going but the culture of the l she is going but the culture of the police force is something we really need to dig down and really get our heads around and a group of. i think that whoever goes it is going to have a difficultjob. there is still a lot of... have a difficult 'ob. there is still a lot of. . .— a lot of... can they make a difference? _ a lot of. .. can they make a difference? i— a lot of... can they make a difference? i believe i a lot of... can they make a difference? i believe that l a lot of... can they make a i difference? i believe that we can

pass it onto her children and so on it has that knock—on effect where... if we find a way of dealing with and doing things the proper way and the right way, surely things will be better? it is such a disgusting thing that has happened to child queue, and so many people are responsible for allowing that to happen. ijust think responsible for allowing that to happen. i just think once we find out who and what they did was wrong, let's punish those people and learn the lessons and move on. ifind let's punish those people and learn the lessons and move on.— the lessons and move on. and are there any glimmers _ the lessons and move on. and are there any glimmers of— the lessons and move on. and are there any glimmers of hope i the lessons and move on. and are there any glimmers of hope that l the lessons and move on. and are i there any glimmers of hope that you see? i know you go around and you talk to kids in schools.— talk to kids in schools. yeah, kids are great- — talk to kids in schools. yeah, kids are great- you — talk to kids in schools. yeah, kids are great. you get _ talk to kids in schools. yeah, kids are great. you get the _ talk to kids in schools. yeah, kids are great. you get the message l talk to kids in schools. yeah, kids i are great. you get the message out. i feel with the — are great. you get the message out. i feel with the kids, _ are great. you get the message out. i feel with the kids, there's - ifeel with the kids, there's definitely lots of hope and optimism out there that i do believe it is us adults that now need to take stock and do something. kids can't make the changes that need to happen. they can be part of the change for the future. but it is for us adults to step up and make those changes. i am aware we have not asked you how you are doing and how the rest of the family are because it is a long time since stephen died. yes. you have written _ time since stephen died. yes. you have written a _

because of coronavirus. and it's notjust pupils. almost a quarter of state schools had more than 15% of their teaching staff absent at that point in mid—march. our education correspondent elaine dunkley has been to see what kind of effect those absences have been having in the classroom. the end of term and the children at stapeley broad lane primary in cheshire are excited about making easter treats. what colours might we use at easter? and teaching assistant miss morris is glad to be back after being off sick with covid. it has been a difficult time. is that where you are going to put it? it has just been really hard work for teaching staff. we saw it come through the classroom like a wave. and as members of staff, mrs ackerman and myself, we were like, oh, we'll be fine, we've been fine throughout. and it got both of us at the same times. draw me a rabbit. there is no support. there is no extra staff. we can'tjust call on somebody to come from another classroom

because with eight members of staff off, there is nobody else to call on. the school hasn't had to shut or send year groups home this term but learning and catching up is still being disrupted. it has had quite a big impact on learning and what we have been doing with our friends in school. but at the moment, i think i am doing fine because the teachers have helped us get back to the places that we were. we have been doing some catch up on, like, stuff that we missed. _ we are about to start doing our sats which is quite nerve—racking - but we have been working up to them. children are super excited. this afternoon, we have got what we call our easter egg hunt. we are going to do it outside. we haven't been able to do this for three years. for the children, there are more fun events planned, but for the head, the concerns are all too familiar. most of the disruption has been in spring terms so that curriculum that we have devised to teach during the spring term has been disrupted for the past three years. it is about almost second guessing whether we... how far we can get back to what is typical. next term, there

will be more changes. in england, children with covid can return to school after three days. however, they are advised to stay at home if they are unwell or have a high temperature. the government has also confirmed that schools will no longer be able to order free lateral flow tests. it is this attitude that it has just disappeared, covid has gone, and therefore, we can move on but it's not gone and it is a real issue in schools. these parents still have concerns. i think one of the biggest issues with the testing is the fact it is not going to be free for schools, for teachers, for pupils and for the whole environment and that is going to have a big impact. for me, it is only going to get worse. for my son, he is in year 6, so he is expected to do his sats exams. he has had time off where he has had covid. you can't get the true measure of his ability based on the last few years with the pandemic. so how is tension created here? just down the road at malbank school

and sixth form, tests and exams are also weighing on the minds of pupils who have just received results for their mock exams. in just a few months, they will be sitting gcses and a—levels. myself having covid, that took a few, like, three weeks out of what... like, before the mocks. so that was pretty hard to deal with. teachers being off didn't really help at all because this is one of the most important years we are going to have. i think exams need to go ahead as normal but i think it would have been nice to have a bit of a mixture of teacher assessed grades. year 9 was only half the length it should have been and obviously, in year 10, we lost probably three months. see you later, have a good evening. whilst pupils are preparing to sit exams, the head is worried about getting the staff to ensure they go ahead. typically we would have quite a lot of the retired community eager to come and support us as exam invigilators and that is proving incredibly difficult because... quite understandably, they are very concerned about coming into a school setting. come on, guys, let's go.

that, balanced alongside the fact that lots of the students are anxious because exams, you know, are something they have not done for a while and the fact therefore that we have to put on additional rooms to cater for their needs means that actually, the demand is quite difficult to meet. she pleaded with the court not to impose it... relaxing the rules and learning to live with covid is part of the government's plan but high numbers of absences in some schools has meant no let—up from the pressures of the pandemic. elaine dunkley, bbc news, in cheshire. time to get the sport and what a match last night?— match last night? mikelarteta looked a bit — match last night? mikelarteta looked a bit for _ match last night? mikelarteta looked a bit for lawn. - match last night? mikelarteta looked a bit for lawn. it - match last night? mikelarteta looked a bit for lawn. it was i match last night? mikel arteta - looked a bit for lawn. it was rather lacklustre from _ looked a bit for lawn. it was rather lacklustre from arsenal, _ looked a bit for lawn. it was rather lacklustre from arsenal, wasn't . looked a bit for lawn. it was rather lacklustre from arsenal, wasn't it, j lacklustre from arsenal, wasn't it, and it cost them. they lost 3—0 to crystal palace and mccann are totter —— mikel arteta apologised to the fans for the performance. they missed the chance to move back

into the champions league qualification places. they were beaten 3—0 at crystal palace. the raucous atmosphere at selhurst park appeared to get to arsenal as they went behind tojean—philippe mateta's goal afterjust quarter of an hour. jordan ayew got the second and wilfried zaha completed the victory with a penalty after he was brought down. palace the comfortable winners, but tottenham will also be pleased with the result, as they stay fourth, ahead of their north london rivals. it is time to accept the criticism, put your hand up, apologise because the performance wasn't good enough for this club. and now react because when everything goes well, everybody wants to be there and everybody wants to be supportive. so let's see who is there now. it was a really good team performance. there were games where we performed well but we did not take our chances, we did not score the goals. but today, from the start, we started really well. we put them under pressure and we managed to score that first goal to give us even more confidence.

and we managed to win the game and we didn't concede a goal so it was a really good team performance. well, as arsenal struggle to get into the champions league places for next season, the quarterfinals of this season's competition begin this evening. liverpool are in portugal to take on benfica. jurgen klopp�*s side are the big favourites to progress, and with the league cup already won, they have their eyes on an unprecedented quadruple. but the players aren't counting their chickens. we just want to make this season hopefully an unforgettable one. for us as players, for the staff but as a whole club, you know. i think the things that have been going on at the moment with liverpool is something that no one should take for granted. you know, we are as a group very stable, we have a fantastic squad, with the manager, the whole relation with the club. meanwhile, manchester city, who're on the hunt for their first champions league title, are at home to atletico madrid in the first leg of their quarterfinal. manager pep guardiola has been

criticised in the past for "overthinking" his tactics in big games — and yesterday, hejoked that he planned to do it again. i overthink a lot. and is that fair? absolutely. that is why i have had very good results in the champions league. i love... it would be boring, myjob, if i have to be the same way against opponents. they face different ways to play. tonight, i take an inspiration and i'm going to do an incredible tactic tomorrow, so... we play with 12 tomorrow. the future ofjoe root as england's test captain is still up in the air after their loss to the west indies last month. england have now gone five series without a win, but root still has the support of his team mates. i thinkjoe's brilliant. i feel like everyone forgets how many runs he scores and how much he contributes and how actually fantastic he is with the bat. i think it is actually down to a lot of us as other players,

whether it is batters, bowlers, or in the field or anything like that, it is for us to put in the performances. and then, it is a performance—based sport, so if everyone puts their hand up and performs, we'll start winning more games. it is not necessarily always onjoe. five series without a win, not great for england at the moment. but before i go, we must mention a very good friend of bbc breakfast, rob burrow is at windsor castle to collect his mbe, he is honoured for services to rugby league and to the motor neurone disease community. if there is anyone who has earned that, it is that man. he has worked tirelessly in the last couple of years. and even previously to his diagnosis, he was hugely active in the rugby league community, so that's a real moment for his family. they are going down in their best bib and tucker today for will have a special piece within tomorrow. we covered it recently, you were involved in that a few weeks ago,

there was a fantastic amount of money raised from over £1000. that was rob and — money raised from over £1000. that was rob and his _ money raised from over £1000. twat was rob and his sisters who organised all of that. you were there as a judge, i was there, dancing. there as a 'udge, i was there, dancini. :, ., .,, . there as a 'udge, i was there, dancini. :, . . dancing. you were fantastic. so many events like that _ dancing. you were fantastic. so many events like that and _ dancing. you were fantastic. so many events like that and so _ dancing. you were fantastic. so many events like that and so many - dancing. you were fantastic. so many events like that and so many people i events like that and so many people who have been so generous in giving their time and support to the cause. he has never shied away from the fact that he has spoken about it, when he was able to speak and he is still compelling now. ifind when he was able to speak and he is still compelling now.— still compelling now. and what's so brilliant is that _ still compelling now. and what's so brilliant is that between _ still compelling now. and what's so brilliant is that between him - still compelling now. and what's so brilliant is that between him and i brilliant is that between him and his best mate kevin sinfield who is also working tirelessly and was at windsor castle leslie for his own work, they have raised the profile of that disease, along with others. they have raised the profile beyond anything it ever had before so it's really, really well deserved. and it is their friendship i think that drives it through and the kind of camaraderie between all of them. it'll be lovely to see him the honour today.

it'll be lovely to see him the honourtoday. —— it'll be lovely to see him the honour today. —— see him get the honour. here's carol with the weather. i'll start but if you haven't yet ventured outside, there are some rain around, we also have some cloud and bright skies, as he can see in powys, where it is a mild start. the yellow colours indicated in this chart, for most it is mild, but look at the blues across the far north and north—east of scotland. here it is cold and there is bits of hills now. through the day, that will come down to sea level. we also have some heavy rain across parts of scotland, some light rain coming down through lincolnshire towards east anglia and the south—east. that will clear, leaving england and wales with some bright skies and some patchy light rain. heaviest rain today will be across parts of scotland, coming into northern ireland later. the met office has updated the weather warning for snow. we are likely to have about 5 centimetres of snow today in the grampians, 10 centimetres in the highlands, that might lead to disruption for some of

us. those levels have come down a touch from what i've been telling your money. temperatures today ranging from 4 in lerwick to about 15 further south. as we head through the evening and overnight, what you find is the snow level will rise into the hills as the front pushes north, also taking the rain with it. meanwhile, a week weather front moving across england and wales, taking some patchy rain and some heavy showers at times across northern england and also north—west wales. cold enough in scotland for the risk of ice and untreated surfaces in the north—east but for most it is going to be another mild night. as we head into wednesday, low pressure still driving the weather, moving off in towards the north sea, but we still have two weather fronts, north sea, but we still have two weatherfronts, one north sea, but we still have two weather fronts, one to clear the far south of england, taking the rain with it and another one draped across the north of scotland, coming round into the western isles. later behind this, a return to some snow

heading south. but in between with a lot of dry weather, some sunshine and there will also be some sharp showers, some of them are likely to have some hail embedded in amongst them. and it's going to be a windy day, particularly across northern ireland and south—west scotland. these are the temperatures, down a touch on today, about 4 or 5 in the north to about 12 or 13 in the south. as we go through the evening, as the low pressure moves away, the winds will strengthen across northern england in particular. as we move from wednesday to thursday, note how the cold air filters further south. the channel islands, still in the milder conditions. starting off on a frosty notable scuffled with the risk of ice, you can see too the weather front and the south producing some rain, drifting off to the near continent. in the northerly winds, we will see a mixture of rain, sleet and some hills now, all pushing southwards. temperatures 5 to 11.

by the scientist charles darwin have been mysteriously returned to cambridge university library — nearly 20 years after they were stolen. the books worth millions of pounds, were in a gift bag, with a note — but exactly who took them remains a missing link. our arts correspondent rebecca jones has the story. they're safe, they're undamaged, they're home. charles darwin's precious, priceless notepads, which have been missing for more than 20 years. but their return couldn't be more mysterious. they were left anonymously at cambridge university library in this pink gift bag — containing the box the notebooks were originally stored in and an envelope with this simple message. inside, the two notebooks, wrapped tightly in clingfilm. this is where the gift bag was left, outside the librarians' office. but with no cctv, the library doesn't know who put it there, or indeed where the notebooks have been and why they've been returned now. like many other buildings, we don't have cctv in places where people are just

regularly passing through. our cctv monitors the front of the building and the back of the building. so we have passed the cctv that we have available to the police, and that's a matter for their live investigation. cambridge university library is huge. there are 130 miles of shelving, and the notebooks are tiny. they were last seen in november 2000, when they had been removed to be photographed. despite various searches, they never turned up, and 15 months ago, the bbc first highlighted that dr gardner thought they had been stolen. she launched a worldwide appeal to find them. your help could be critical in seeing the notebooks safely returned. and i would ask anyone who thinks they may know of the notebooks' whereabouts to get in touch. please help. one of the notebooks features darwin's "tree of life" sketch, which helped inspire his theory of evolution. they're some of the most remarkable documents in the whole history of science, i honestly think. i mean, the theory of natural selection and evolution is probably the single most important theory

in the life and earth and environmental sciences, and these are the notebooks in which that theory was put together. professor secord is one of many experts to examine the notebooks and confirm they're authentic. where the clasp is on the notebooks, you can see little bits of copper where it's actually been eroded away. these are the tiny tell—tale signs that the whole team of researchers at the university library can use to tell if they're genuine. so, while darwin's ideas helped enlighten the world, the notepads now carry a secret story of their own — a secret way which may never be fully revealed. rebecca jones, bbc news, cambridge. drjessica gardner is the cambridge university librarian who led the campaign to find those missing books. shejoins us now. lovely to see you. just tell me about that moment that he realised the books were being returned, what was that like? is

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. our headlines today: ukraine's president zelensky is to address the united nations today for the first time since russia's invasion, as he calls for a full investigation into atrocities by russian forces. bosses at channel 4 say they're disappointed at the government's decision to privatise the broadcaster. support grows for a father's campaign to honour emergency service workers killed in the line of duty. a tax increase tomorrow — at a time when we're already being squeezed. national insurance will go up for most earners. i'll explain why, and what it will mean for your finances. i love you. i don't think you're half bad, neither. goodbye to dot cotton. tributes to eastenders legend june brown, who's died at the age of 95.

good morning. for many of us today, a mild day and a lot of dry weather around and some brightness, patchy rain. the exception to that is in scotland where we have heavier rain and some snow in the highlands and grampian is even at lower levels through the course of the day. all the details throughout the rest of the details throughout the rest of the programme. it's tuesday the 5th of april. the ukrainian president will address the united nations today for the first time since the russian invasion. volodymyr zelensky will speak to an emergency meeting of the un security council, which includes russia, following growing evidence of atrocities. the kremlin continues to deny any wrongdoing. vincent mcaviney has the latest. the destruction left behind by the russian invaders in bucha, a town in an area reclaimed by the ukrainians, is visible from space in these new satellite images. but to see the destruction wrought on thousands of lives, president zelensky visited himself.

what he found was streets and graves filled with the bodies of ordinary citizens, many with their hands tied behind their backs and gunshot wounds. for vlad, his town is now haunted. translation: people have been shot in the head by russian snipers. - people on bicycles, people delivering potatoes. i can tell you so many stories, but i don't want to. i want to forget them. the kremlin claim these scenes and testimonies are fake. from the very beginning, it has been clear that this is nothing else but yet another staged provocation aimed at discrediting and dehumanising the russian military, and levelling political pressure on russia. but today, president zelensky will tell an emergency meeting of the un security council his country wants a complete and transparent

investigation into what he's calling a genocide. in washington, president biden is convinced putin should pay a price. you may remember, i got criticised for calling putin a war criminal. well, the truth of the matter — you saw what happened in bucha. this warrants him... he is a war criminal. world leaders know the chances of putin ever facing international justice are slim, so for now the focus is on ramping up sanctions to thwart him. the eu is considering action on russian oil and coal, but not gas, due to its heavy dependence, and foreign secretary liz truss has promised tough new measures will be announced at a g7 meeting later in the week. bucha may now be free of russian soldiers, but the people have paid a heavy price with the lives of loved ones. their only hope of solace now is to try to help war crimes investigators secure the evidence. but in cities, towns and villages

across this country, where russians still patrol the streets, the suspected atrocities are ongoing, and they may not be as careless with the evidence any longer. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. our correspondent jenny hill is in moscow. good morning. jenny, the kremlin is also looking forward to addressing the un security council. what will they be saying? well, we are told that they intend to produce evidence to support their claim that this is all fake news. as you know and you saw in that report, the kremlin denies it all and says that the footage you have seen, the witness accounts you have heard, that our colleagues have seen and heard, to, are all lies, fabricated deliberately by ukraine and then spread by western journalists. deliberately by ukraine and then spread by westernjournalists. it deliberately by ukraine and then spread by western journalists. it is a line that has been pumped out by officials here and they are

continuing to stick to it today and it is being parroted across state media, too. it is important i think to emphasise that this is a classic kremlin tactic. we have seen it in conflicts in the past. we saw it just last month following the strike on the maternity hospital in mariupol. when faced with accusations of atrocities committed in its name, russia tends to first of all deny everything and then dismiss it as fake news. and then quite often they try to blame it on someone else and this is something to watch out for because already i have noticed in at least one newspaper today journalists have noticed in at least one newspaper todayjournalists here, state journalists are starting to talk about civilian killings in ukraine, in places like bucha, having been perpetrated by what they describe as ukrainian nazis. that is not something we have heard yet from the kremlin but it might well be worth keeping an ear out for it because i suspect that is where this might go. the kremlin has been very keen, despite having invaded

ukraine, to portray its neighbour as the real aggressor here was that we have heard a lot here about the nazis in ukraine who present a threat not only to the russian speaking populations in eastern ukraine which is the justification for vladimir putin's wore in the first place, but also to russian security itself and it is no accident at all that russian officials are talking about the lies perpetrated by ukrainian officials in places like bucha, as they would have it, as being part of an information war now being waged against russia by ukraine but supported by the west. that is the kremlin's line and they are going to stick to it. :. .. kremlin's line and they are going to stick to it. . ,, , :, :, :, stick to it. thank you for 'oining us. stick to it. thank you for 'oining jenny — stick to it. thank you for 'oining jenny inu * stick to it. thank you for 'oining us. jenny hill in i stick to it. thank you for 'oining us. jenny hill in moscowi stick to it. thank you forjoining us. jenny hill in moscow for i stick to it. thank you forjoining us. jenny hill in moscow for us| stick to it. thank you forjoining i us. jenny hill in moscow for us this morning. now someone who has given us regular updates since the start of the conflict is james waterhouse, the bbc�*s kyiv correspondent. james only moved there injanuary, and barely a month later, he was living and working from an underground bunker. he'll be back in ukraine soon, but for now, he's here on the sofa. what a pleasure to see you. lovely

we had a 12 hour day and that has been the case ever since. itjust shows the level of interest in what has been happening there which is great, it is important from our perspective, but that has never waned. like so many others, even your typical ukrainian who has been so used to russian aggression, when you walked around that city and you saw the daily life, itjust did not add up. you thought, this won't escalate further. and yet, on the 24th of february, it happened. you know, as 24th of february, it happened. you know. as sally _ 24th of february, it happened. you know, as sally said, you are going back and i was listening to ukrainecast yesterday, and jeremy bowen says, once he leaves some i come he has to decompress and not follow the news for a bit and he is a veteran, have you followed that, or have you seen the news this week about the atrocities allegedly being committed by russian forces and the denials from the crimen? it is difficult, denials from the crimen? it is difficult. it — denials from the crimen? it is difficult, it is— denials from the crimen? it is difficult, it is my _ denials from the crimen? it is difficult, it is my first - denials from the crimen? it ; difficult, it is my first experience

big floral display on sophia square, a unesco world heritage site, a beautiful place in the heart of kyiv, where they laid out the ukrainian trident in flowers and people were laughing and they posed for a big group picture and then some outgoing artillery fire just echoed through the middle of the city, followed by that haunting siren again. you just start to forget and you can see people sighing and then they would fall away again. so you are seeing people get used to it. but people are on guard, they are living with risk, there are suburbs with mostly elderly people there who either can't leave or have chosen to stay or have been slightly isolated after their relatives have chosen to leave. so you are seeing people remaining in situ and coping but i would not say people would describe it as normal. the would not say people would describe it as normal-— it as normal. the figurehead in all of this is president _ it as normal. the figurehead in all of this is president zelensky, i it as normal. the figurehead in allj of this is president zelensky, isn't it? he is the person who we have

seen give regular addresses, occasionally in english, speaking in english, these were the pictures of him yesterday. he has changed significantly, hasn't he, overthe weeks? compare and contrast the image of him at the start of the year and these images now, this is weighing really heavily on him, it is taking its toll on him and everybody. is taking its toll on him and everybody-— is taking its toll on him and eve bod. :, :, , ., everybody. you can only imagine read and everybody. you can only imagine ready and l _ everybody. you can only imagine ready and i think _ everybody. you can only imagine ready and i think like _ everybody. you can only imagine ready and i think like most i everybody. you can only imagine ready and i think like most world j ready and i think like most world leaders, he had his critics, he had no political experience and he was criticised for not being a great public speaker, and yet, look at how things have changed. he wore his quite sharp black suits in those meetings with world leaders. he would try to gather as much support as possible. it is not an easyjob when it is long know you are not going to be allowed to join nato so he is trying to secure what guarantees he can for his country. but president zelensky and his cabinet, they are now wearing the green uniforms, and they haven't gone anywhere. they have been in and around the city and in other

locations across ukraine. they have been very keen to be seen to be there. they have given daily addresses and they has been extremely well received. it is clear as we enter this new phase of the conflict that he has not been toppled. he has chosen to stay. remember the first week after the invasion? many were predicting this lightning strikes, where the city would be surrounded and he would either be captured or toppled. you dread to think what that would mean. but he stayed and he remains. it is fascinating. — but he stayed and he remains. it is fascinating, isn't _ but he stayed and he remains. it is fascinating, isn't it? so many questions about how long things will last and whether peace talks will be successful at any stage. i know that breakfast viewers have taken a keen interest in you because people are worried about your safety, they hear the noises in the background and they see the gunfire and explosions and i know yourfamily are they see the gunfire and explosions and i know your family are watching this programme as well and they watch breakfast you check you are ok. , , ., y ., watch breakfast you check you are ok. , ,., , ok. yes, it is lovely and it makes the 'ob ok. yes, it is lovely and it makes the job really _ ok. yes, it is lovely and it makes the job really easy _ ok. yes, it is lovely and it makes the job really easy because i ok. yes, it is lovely and it makes the job really easy because they l the job really easy because they turn on the telly and 6am, ok, there

about a resolution at some stage? it is hard to find hope in cities like mariupol at the moment but where is the hope? is something still there? it is more defiance now. it is more... one of the striking thing is when you go out there because when i went they were at war already, and people say, we are used to it, i am willing to fight and die for my country. ukrainians grow up and they learn from their relatives, they learn from their relatives, they learn about how the very existence of their country has always been under threat and the more aggressive rush is, the more important it becomes to them. —— aggressive russia is. there is a defiance and of course i hope that this will end one day but i've got to be honest, the cost people have paid has been so great already, whether they have lost loved ones, whether they have been separated from them. you look at what russia has already done to ukraine with the land at what russia has already done to ukraine with the [and grabs to date, it is very hard to imagine going to a negotiating table for so many people where they will engage... it

will boil down to a meeting with president zelensky and president putin where they will say, what do you want? for ukraine, it will be about what they are willing to sacrifice for their country to succeed. nevertheless, one of the main possibilities in this war is that it will end with a peace deal. it is incredibly difficult for them to get their heads around. it is it is incredibly difficult for them to get their heads around. it is so ureat to to get their heads around. it is so great to see _ to get their heads around. it is so great to see you _ to get their heads around. it is so great to see you on _ to get their heads around. it is so great to see you on the _ to get their heads around. it is so great to see you on the sofa - to get their heads around. it is so great to see you on the sofa with| to get their heads around. it is so i great to see you on the sofa with us this morning. thank you forjoining us. this morning. thank you for 'oining us. . , great this morning. thank you for 'oining us.— great to h this morning. thank you for 'oining us._ great to see _ this morning. thank you forjoining us._ great to see you - this morning. thank you forjoining| us._ great to see you save us. pleasure. great to see you save as well. us. pleasure. great to see you save as well- hope — us. pleasure. great to see you save as well. hope your _ us. pleasure. great to see you save as well. hope your family _ us. pleasure. great to see you save as well. hope your family are - as well. hope your family are watching!— as well. hope your family are watching!_ and - as well. hope your family are watching!_ and stay| as well. hope your family are - watching!_ and stay safe watching! they are. and stay safe when ou watching! they are. and stay safe when you go _ watching! they are. and stay safe when you go back _ watching! they are. and stay safe when you go back out _ watching! they are. and stay safe when you go back out there. - watching! they are. and stay safe | when you go back out there. good morning to the waterhouse family! here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. a mile start to the day. except for the north—east of scotland, where some temperatures are still below freezing. this is where we have some hills know this morning but increasingly in the highlands and grampians we will see that get down to sea level through the course of the day. in fact, in the grampians

we will have as much as 5 centimetres, in the highlands as much as 10 centimetres. the met office is a yellow weather warning for the now and it'sjust office is a yellow weather warning for the now and it's just been updated to lower the amounts of snow that we are expecting now. heavier rain across the rest of scotland, it will not be called across the rest of scotland, neither is it across the rest of the uk, with further rain moving in across northern ireland through the afternoon foot of england and wales, we lose the rain from the east, then it brightens up, there will be some sunshine but across the north and west of wales into the south—west, west of wales into the south—west, we could see some patchy light rain and drizzle on and off as we move through the day. temperatures to sources in aberdeen to about 15 in norwich and london. through this evening and overnight, our band of rain and hill now pushes further north, a band of rain pushes further south across england and wales and it will weaken. for northern england and north and west wales, some sharp showers. i can't for most it will be a mild night about the risk of ice

on untreated surfaces in the north—east. tomorrow we see the back edge of that weather front clear, there will be a lot of showers following behind, some with hail, and a lot of dry weather with some sunshine. it's going to be windy tomorrow as well, rain across the north of scotland, cold air following behind. overnight we will see further snow slowly slipping southwards. how worried should we be about embedded hail? that how worried should we be about embedded hail?— how worried should we be about embedded hail? that sounds a bit rim. not embedded hail? that sounds a bit grim- not too _ embedded hail? that sounds a bit grim. not too worried, _ embedded hail? that sounds a bit grim. not too worried, just - embedded hail? that sounds a bit grim. not too worried, just put. embedded hail? that sounds a bit l grim. not too worried, just put your brolly up. grim. not too worried, 'ust put your broll u. ., ., channel [i says the government's decision to sell the broadcaster is disappointing. ministers say public ownership was holding the broadcaster back against streaming giants like netflix and amazon prime. our political correspondent damian grammaticus is in westminster. good morning. it is already, you look at the papers, you live in social media, quite a lot of criticism around this already. yes, a chorus of _ criticism around this already. yes,

but the government says the last few years have taken a big toll on health and social care, and they want us to pay more to help fund it directly. to be precise — 1.25 percentage points more. that means 1.25p more in each pound. what does it mean to your take home? well if you earn £30,000 a year you will pay an extra £214 annually in national insurance. if you earn £80,000 a year, it adds up to an extra £839. but there is another shift on the horizon. from july, the point at which you start paying national insurance will go up, from just under £10,000 tojust over £12,500. these changes overall mean anyone earning under £34,000 will overall pay less. anyone earning over that amount will pay more national insurance than before. and this is all happening at the same time as changes to income tax. the point at which we start paying that — and the point

at which we pay more — are being frozen for four years. as prices go up, the amount we pay is more. so this month, you will see, in cash terms, you will see your take—home pay go down as a result of the national insurance increase. you won't see your take—home pay go down as a result of the freezing of the tax threshold. but as your pay hopefully goes up over the year, more of your pay will be taken in income tax because that income tax threshold has not been increased in line with inflation. you need to increase it every year in line with inflation to keep the tax burden the same. the fact it is not being increased is a tax rise even though it won't take any more, you won't feel it in your pay packet in the same way this month as you will feel the impact of the national insurance change. all of this comes at a time of rising energy, water and council tax bills.

the national insurance increase tomorrow could have a very big impact. lots of low income households, whether they are in work or not, are going to be relying on things like universal credit. we had the £20 uplift from universal credit that was taken away last year. the universal credit amount is not being uprated at the same level as what inflation actually is, and that is happening at the same time as we have seen a 54% increase in the energy cap. so as i keep saying, you know, this is a perfect storm for households. and let's not forget that lots of these households saw a reduction in their income, either from a reduction in hours or losing theirjob, through the pandemic, and they borrowed to be able to make ends meet and now they are just trying to get back on their feet and they are facing a once in a generation cost of living crisis. the government says it understands people are struggling. the national living wage went up last week. and they've packaged up £9 billion of support for energy bills. but that's the case for individuals,

but you may or may not know that businesses also pay national insurance as well so they will be facing a marginal increase at a time when many of them are feeling they are treading water, wanting to recoup some of the losses, it's really important time, we will be looking at that detail tomorrow. morning live follows us on bbc one this morning. let's find out what's in store with gethin and aj. yellow, dudes! you did it! nice to see you. — yellow, dudes! you did it! nice to see you, dudes. coming up, with covid _ see you, dudes. coming up, with covid cases— see you, dudes. coming up, with covid cases at the highest level since _ covid cases at the highest level since april 20 20, nine more symptoms have been included. official— symptoms have been included. official signs of the illness. dr official signs of the illness. dir xand official signs of the illness. xandis official signs of the illness. li' xand is tell official signs of the illness. li xand is tell us why this could reduce infections.— xand is tell us why this could reduce infections. :, , :, :, reduce infections. from tennis to an u set reduce infections. from tennis to an upset tummy _ reduce infections. from tennis to an upset tummy or— reduce infections. from tennis to an upset tummy or a — reduce infections. from tennis to an upset tummy or a runny _ reduce infections. from tennis to an upset tummy or a runny nose, - reduce infections. from tennis to an upset tummy or a runny nose, i - reduce infections. from tennis to an upset tummy or a runny nose, i will| upset tummy or a runny nose, i will claim what to look out for and how to stay safe.

down to wear and tear and track faults and spends around £150 million each year making improvements. a woman who was forced to flee the ukraine due to the conflict says she waited weeks for permission to enter the uk. yulia, who is from cherkasy, said it took 20 days to get a uk visa. her niece lina helped with the application, but was surprised and frustrated by how slow it was. we are extremely grateful but the process itself, it is beyond lengthy. we have friends that are trying to bring people that they don't know into their homes and they kind of have to cancel because they don't have enough money to go by where they are currently, romania, poland. it's heartbreaking. the home office says it has streamlined the process and boosted case worker numbers, while ensuring security checks are carried out. travel now and, this is how tfl

services are looking. there are minor delays on the piccadilly line between rayners lane and uxbridge due to a points failure. and there's no service on the northern line between kennington and moorgate due to long—term upgrade work. time for a check on the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. all in all, it's a nicer looking day of weather today across the capital than we saw yesterday. it should be mostly dry. it's not as blustery and it's still mild, too, in fact, a very mild start to the morning. temperatures are in double figures for most of us, io—ii celsius. lots of cloud around for the first half of the day could produce perhaps a few spits and spots of light, patchy rain and drizzle here and there. it won't really amount to very much at all. and then into the afternoon, that cloud will start to thin to give us some brighter spells and perhaps even some spells of sunshine here and there. top temperatures in the best of that brightness, 15 celsius. still a westerly wind going on, it's quite noticeable, but not as brisk as it was yesterday.

and then overnight tonight, it's more of the same. so we'll keep those layers of cloud. it's looking mostly dry, bit of patchy rain always possible. temperatures dropping at their lowest down to high single figures. so another mild start to the day again tomorrow. tomorrow, a cold front sinks southwards, introducing some showers. some slightly colder feeling air too on wednesday, 12 celsius, and it will be rather blustery, a brisk westerly wind blowing. that wind turns into a chilly northerly by the time we get to thursday, with some cold arctic air. that's it for now. you'll find more updates on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to sally and dan. i'm backjust after 9. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. on yesterday's breakfast we spoke to bryn hughes — the father of pc nicola hughes, who was murdered, along with fellow officer fiona bone, after being lured into a trap

by a bogus 999 call. bryn was launching a campaign for a new medal to honour emergency service workers killed in the line of duty. we had a huge response to that interview and bryn's campaign is being backed by a growing number of organisations — including the fire service — as well as other families who have lived through similar ordeals. jayne mccubbin went to meet one of them. i remember friday evening, him leaving for work, saying ta—ra. on saturday morning, my mum came into the room and told me that my dad's passed away. jayne was 13 when her dad, ray, was killed, a police constable who died trying to stop a stolen car. i recall walking out, going... ..back upstairs... ..and just sitting, and then,

part of me then was... i started gathering bits of...his life, really. this is a few years old now. his old pocket notebook from 1976. i've got an old breathalyser, the old—style one with the bags that they used to blow in. this is all she has left of her dad. nanny had to cut his hair on the friday night, when he left, obviously, his last shift, for work. the job took her dad's life, but jayne went on to dedicate her life to the police force, and now ray's granddaughter, nina, has done the same. last week, she started serving in her grandad's old police force under her grandad's old number — 5951. they say that you've always got like an angel looking over your shoulders and it's like, well, you've got that on your collar number, so it's there all the time.

i want to make sure that i live up to his name. this is a family which has dedicated so much to the police service. they now want society to do more to honour those who have paid the ultimate price. it is almost ten years since police officers nicola hughes _ and fiona bone were murdered while responding to a bogus... | yesterday on bbc breakfast, a campaign was launched to honour those from the emergency services who die in the line of duty. ..to see emergency workers who are killed in the line of duty honoured with a special medal. a campaign backed today by ray davenport's family. i think it's a shame that it's not already put in place because it should always be remembered, and i feel like these awards are something that should be handed out to not only remember those who have fallen but to be a support for the family. we keep their memory alive but we have lost. whereas if you have got something tangible, you could have it, you could wear it, you could have it

mounted, you could have it in your home and it is something. it's there and it's a reminder. this kind of award already exists for the armed forces but an equivalent does not exist for the emergency services. the opportunity lies here, now. i mean, across emergency services partners, i think there is a groundswell of opinion that this is a fantastic thing to do, to recognise those emergency services workers who do pay that ultimate sacrifice and lose their life. firefighters and other emergency services workers are just ordinary people but they do an extraordinaryjob. in ray's belongings was this, his old whistle. now engraved with the badge number he and his granddaughter both share. i sort of have him constantly in the back of my mind, thinking, "oh, god, he's watching me," like, i need to make sure that i'm sort of staying in check. it is something that i'm going to really enjoy about the job, is that you are going to be there when people need you most. that is what makes me

want to strive to be like him. our thanks to jayne and nina for telling us about their dad and grandad, ray davenport. we've had a huge reaction since yesterday's appeal. another police officer who was killed while trying to stop vehicle thieves was pc andrew harper, who died in berkshire in 2019. after the campaign was launched on breakfast yesterday, his widow lissie wrote to us offering her support. i just want to read part of this. we can speak now to shadow home secretary, yvette cooper. thank you forjoining us. good morning. we thank you for 'oining us. good mornini. ~ , thank you for 'oining us. good mornin_ i ,, , thank you for 'oining us. good mornini. i, , morning. we said this yesterday as well, it is

the chance to play a gig in a very special house which played a pivotal role in pop history. we gavejohn maguire a ticket to ride to liverpool — and find out more. # she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah # she loves you, yeah, yeah...# there are places we remember all our lives, though some have changed. that's not the case here, though — 20 forthlin road in liverpool has been restored to look as it did when paul mccartney lived here as a teenager. ah, drum kit! drum kit. who would have thought that? look at this. there's the drum kit. not the original? just similar. there is me, as a quarryman. his younger brother mike is showing us around. 6922, can i help you? no, sorry, nobody here. no, it's just a little two up, two down terraced house in liverpool. no, nothing much happened from here. mike's photos adorn the walls and help to tell

the beatles' early story. paul and john lennon wrote many of the best—known songs here, some while bunking off school. love me do, when i'm 64, and captured by mike's camera, i saw her standing there. our kid once said to me, that's an important photograph, because it shows the way it was. it was two lads, two friends, two mates, two good friends getting down to the nitty—gritty of doing songs, right? that schoolbook and that picture, you can just see very clearly, "i saw her standing there." # oh, and i saw her standing there...# to hear the guitars on that day, and just doing whatever it is, she loves you, i think they did that here, a couple of big hits were done, i think, probably in this room. this is where it happened. the house and the pictures capture moments in time.

it wasn't long after mum died, actually. and so, our kid would get lost in his guitar. and so, he was out in the garden on the deckchair with the washing above his head, so ijust liked it, through mum's net curtains, and our kid has used that on his chaos and creation album, and also for his lyrics book, so he must like it too. it means a lotto him? yeah, yeah, it means a lotto us both. now owned by the national trust, it is open inside to pre—booked groups, but outside, it's a must—see on beatles tours. bothjim and mary's sons had number one hit singles... - this is where lennon and mccartney took their first steps on the long and winding road to become the biggest band in the world. and it is about to be used again to inspire the next generation. # blackbird singing in the dead of night # take these broken wings and learn to fly...#

unsigned music artists over the age of 18 can apply to spend time here writing and performing as part of what's being called the forthlin sessions. mackenzie and dylan are both students at the liverpool institute for performing arts, set up by sir paul. the chance to sit where he sat, play where he played would, they say, be the chance of a lifetime. ithink, like, the place you are serves so much inspiration when you're writing music, and that was one of the main reasons that i wanted to come to liverpool. it has so much music history already. but to get the opportunity to actually sit here and write a song or play, like, where paul mccartney and sometimesjohn lennon wrote the early beatles songs isjust, like, i can't even comprehend, like, how cool that is. just because there's got to be some sort of, like, energy there, left over from that, you know, because it was so important for music history.

if the walls could sing! exactly, if they could talk, i mean, i would love to hear all the stories, you know? he is a cultural icon and, you know, we're so lucky that he is around - | performing and stuff like that, j but to go in there and sit down in the walls that he did isjust... every musician's dream, i think. mine, anyway! the beatles blazed a trail young musicians have been following ever since, and the national trust is asking for stories from the public of how the band's music has inspired them. this year marks the 60th anniversary of the fab four�*s first hit, a song written in this two up, two down in liverpool that went around the world and across the universe. bye, house. john maguire, bbc news, liverpool. historic place to live and play.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines ukraine's president is due to address the united nations later for the first time since russia's invasion — where he'll call for a full investigation into atrocities committed by president putin's forces. president zelensky claims more than 300 people were tortured and then killed in bucha, near the capital kyiv. russia denies being involved in the deaths. a british father and his nine—year—old son have died in a landslide while on holiday in australia. two members of the same family are also in a critical condition in hospital. a warning that hundreds of thousands of cancer patients in england face being diagnosed late because of staff shortages in the nhs. channel 4 says the government has

failed to recognise "significant public interest concerns" over its decision to privatise
