during the visit, he promised 120 armoured vehicles — as well as new anti—ship missile systems. mark lowen has this report from kyiv. how are you? there's little time for niceties when you're a leader at war. volodymyr zelensky welcomed borisjohnson to kyiv as ukraine battling russian aggression pleads for more western help. you are strong. the strength of the underdog. ukraine's president battling for his country's survival, welcoming and pleading with the outside world to help fight russian aggression. the unannounced talks came as britain pledged 120 armoured vehicles and new anti—ship missile systems. the two men were keen to suggest ukraine is on the front foot — a walkabout in kyiv inconceivable a fortnight ago. borisjohnson, basking in praise for his support from the public and the president.

translation: we have to exert pressure in the form _ of sanctions, and i'm grateful to the united kingdom that continues and intensifies the sanctions and also provides significant support to ukraine by reinforcing our defence capacities. the other democratic western countries should follow the example of the united kingdom. from borisjohnson arriving as horrors are unearthed from neighbouring towns, warm words for a leader he called a lion. i thank you for what you've been able to do. i think your leadership has been extraordinary and i think in what putin has done in places like bucha and in irpin, in his war crimes have permanently polluted his reputation and the reputation of his government. borisjohnson was long keen to come here to kyiv, but was waiting for the security

situation to stabilise following the withdrawal of russian troops from the area. and while this city has calmed, the renewed russian offensive in the east has made ukraine push even harderfor more military aid. russian tanks pushed on as a governor in the east urged civilians to flee immediately, warning of troops massing nearby. bucha near kyiv, now free of russian troops, shows what might lie in store elsewhere — 360 people are said to have died here and ukraine, the david against the goliath, is still crying out for help. mark lowen, bbc news, kyiv. we can speak now to our correspondent, danjohnson, who joins us from lviv in western ukraine. it ukraine. may seem calmer in the capital but it may seem calmer in the capital but we have warnings of fresh

attacks in the east. any further indication of when that might be? people are being warned to leave some of those regions in the east immediately with the expectation that the military focus of the russian campaign has already shifted, having completed their withdrawal from shifted, having completed their withdrawalfrom kyiv shifted, having completed their withdrawal from kyiv and shifted, having completed their withdrawalfrom kyiv and now building up their forces withdrawalfrom kyiv and now building up theirforces in withdrawalfrom kyiv and now building up their forces in the east. we've seen russian military hardware on the move, reinforcing that military campaign, we have seen them reshuffle the military leadership in charge of russia �*s forces in ukraine so the warning to people in the donbas, those regions in the east of the country, was to get out immediately in expectation there could be intensifying attacks in the next few days, certainly in the next few weeks. that is why we have seen thousands more people trying to evacuate humanitarian corridors, were supposed to be set “p corridors, were supposed to be set up yesterday so more people could leave some of those cities that have been besieged, people had been trapped for weeks.—

if you then have a delay quite easily now of 2a hours into that, not only have they got the logistical issues, but you've also got the quality and the sale value of that product down the line, but it's effectively devaluing by every hour it's delayed. delays of 20 to 25 hours are frustrating drivers. you would sit for maybe two or three hours, and then you would get moved for 100 yards and then you're sitting for 40 minutes. you move 100 feet. ludicrous. there's no services. drivers having to go to the toilet as well, side of the road. yesterday midday, i stopped at 57 km from dover, for dover, sorry, - and i wait 26 hours. been hours, hours and hours in the traffic. really bad. where have you come from? portsmouth, beliveve it or not. we travelled down and yeah, hopefully we'll catch a train. if not, we're going

to miss the race. the group that represents businesses which store and move chilled food says all this is stifling trade. if you're operating a perishable supply chain, then you absolutely need to be able to move the goods through quickly. the evidence now that there are significant delays means business will stop trying to send goods into the uk and trying to send goods out, because you can't carry the risk of your load being lost and losing tens of thousands of pounds worth of value. in response, the department for transport said the traffic management measures are under regular review, but gave no indication that there would be a change made for those transporting perishable items. in a statement, they said: and as this disruption continues, there are fears that these delays

are fanning the flames of driver shortages in an already stretched industry. katie prescott, bbc news. the first team of paying astronauts has arrived at the international space station. the crew, consisting of a pilot and three passengers, will now begin a week—long mission. they took off from florida on friday as part of a private spacex launch. it's being hailed as a commercial milestone for space flight. i wonder how much, they say paying, but i wonder how much? i think well affordable for some! here's tomasz with a look at the weather. he has a bit of spare change in his back pocket!— he has a bit of spare change in his back pocket! absolutely, we would not be able —

more cloudy towards the west. this change in wind direction means we will not have a frost tonight, or at least the chance of a frost is much lower, just in rural areas. but i think more generally we are talking about temperatures between three degrees in glasgow and edinburgh and 8 degrees in plymouth so in sunspots, a good 5—8 milder this coming night. so tomorrow, weather fronts brushing us, that is what they sometimes do, they brush, brush western parts of the british isles. i do not think the rain will be particularly prolonged, it will come and go but could be quite sharp, the sun will come out but look at those temperatures, 17 in london, still chilly in newcastle! this is a hint of things to come, changes happening in the atmosphere through the course of this week. we start to pull in this southerly breeze from southern climes so we get more southern

temperatures, i guess. climes so we get more southern temperatures, iguess. but climes so we get more southern temperatures, i guess. but with that, some rain around on tuesday but i think the rain will head further north, more persistent rain moving further north on tuesday but i would not be surprised if even on tuesday there are a couple of thundery downpours in one or two areas. 19 in norwich, still fresh across scotland and northern ireland but the trend is for things to turn, i would not say particularly warm for spring but it is going to certainly turn milder especially across southern and central parts of the uk but look at edinburgh, 12 degrees on thursday, not all that warm but we could hit 20 degrees in the south which is closer to what we would like at this time of year. you know when — would like at this time of year. you know when you _ would like at this time of year. gm. know when you were talking about the weather brushing us, it was so soothing, you make even bad weather seem really welcome! i look forward to being brushed by the weather! i to being brushed by the weather! i am glad i am so soothing to you this morning. am glad i am so soothing to you this morninu. . ~ am glad i am so soothing to you this morninu. ., ,, i. am glad i am so soothing to you this

"welcome to kyiv, my friend" is the sunday express headline which shows mrjohnson meeting president zelensky. the observer focuses on the prime minister's pledge to supply ukrainian troops with weapons and financial aid. the sunday telegraph has an interview with the nato chiefjens stoltenberg, who says the alliance is drawing up plans to deploy a permanent full—scale military force on its border, to ward off future russian aggression. and the other story on many of the front pages is the continuing row over the tax arrangements of the chancellor rishi sunak�*s wife, akshata murty. the sunday times says she is moving out of downing street and into the family home in west london to avoid the "goldfish bowl" scrutiny. its a0 years since the start

of the falklands war, and veterans who were based at raf waddington in lincolnshire have been remembering their role in the conflict. vulcan planes which were about to be retired were enlisted for a special mission atjust two weeks' notice, for a long bombing mission. gemma dawson reports. stripped back and ready to be restored, but a0 years ago, this cold war aircraft was months from being scrapped when the falklands war brought a new challenge. archive: at 3 am, the vulcan bombers saw their target clearly defined below them on radar and released their loads. the airport buildings- were skeletons blown apart by the british bombardment. a vulcan from raf waddington completed the first raid, attacking the runway at port stanley to stop it being used by argentinejets. my crew did the first and the last bombing raids down on port stanley.

i'd only ever seen world war ii movies. i'd never done any bombing like this before or been fired at. as we got closer and closer and closer, the bombs started to fall off and i was able, on a little gauge i had in front of me, to see when the last bomb had gone, and ijust had full power on and drew the aircraft into a hard climbing turn to get the hell out of there. the raids had been planned back in lincolnshire with only a couple of weeks notice. we had several problems, really. one was, where was the falklands? we never even heard of the falklands. we thought it might be somewhere near the faroes at the time. b- how on earth do we get there? navigation wise and fuel wise. and when we get there, what do we drop? nobody at waddington had ever dropped a 1,000lb bomb- from the vulcan, and nobody had done any air to air refuelling. _ it was a huge role change. they used an air base at ascension island as a staging post, using tanker planes to complete a complicated mid—air refuelling plan filled with jeopardy. there was a crew of six in these

really cramped conditions, and the raid was an 8,000 mile round trip which took almost 16 hours to complete. archive: the ministry of defence i have announced that british aircraft have taken action . against the airstrip. how did you feel when you heard that broadcast? relieved, the fact it's actually worked. i was also very pleased that the way i planned the attack had worked out and nobody had got themselves killed. i i think it was a phenomenal achievement, a world beating achievement back then and probably will still be today, to be frank. what the crews achieved, what the ground crews achieved to get the aircraft airborne and what the wider station achieved to deploy those aircraft forward and conduct that mission was phenomenal. most of the vulcans retired from raf service shortly after the falklands war, but at raf waddington, restoration work is now underway on the aircraft that took part in that first bombing raid on port stanley. we are removing all the layers of paint that it's had over the many years, predominantly so we can have a look at the surface

underneath and understand what structural work is needed. we're going to repaint it in its original black buck colours so we can restore it to its former glory. 0nce complete, its hoped this vulcan will be back on display here. remembering the past while inspiring future generations. gemma dawson, bbc news. incredible to see that striking silhouette in flight there. the time is coming up to 6:23am. time for our first look at the sport. starting with the thing that we were talking about yesterday, the grand national! sam waley cohen, fairy tale, a word often overused in sport but this was a fairy tale finish for him. announcing that beforehand, his last race, and he only goes and winds the grand national. he has won big races

in the past, a gold cup winner but this was the best possible way for him to go out, all smiles, and you can understand why at aintree. the 50—1 outsider noble yeats won the grand national at aintree to give amateurjockey sam waley—cohen a fairytale farewell in his final ride. laura scott reports. cheering. just two days ago he announced he would be retiring at the grand national, his farewell ride, and it proved the sweetest of swansongs for the jockey sam whaley—cohen. fans had waited three years to be back at aintree and 70,000 of them arrived full of anticipation. some clearly keen to stand out from the crowd, and it wasn't long before one of the favourites, last year's winner rachael blackmore, went down at the ninth fence. after the last of 29 fences the favourite took the lead,

but in orange, sam whaley—cohen, the only amateurjockey in the race, had other ideas on the 50—1 shot, coming out on top following a thrilling battle to the line. you just can't make it up, you try and give everybodyjoy and happiness and something to celebrate, and mostly everyone goes home thinking about what a waste of time, and so for it to come off and to make it all happen like that, just surreal. 15 of the a0 horses finished the race with one fatality, put down after an injury, and it later emerged that sam waley—cohen had been handed a penalty for breaching the whip rules during his winning ride. a sting in the tail to what had otherwise been a memorable day, the grand national so often provides memorable moments and it delivered once again. cristiano ronaldo has apologised after video emerged appearing

to show him breaking a fan's phone after he left the pitch in frustration following manchester united's1—0 defeat at everton. it was a huge win for frank lampard's side who are now four points clear of the relegation zone after anthony gordon's first half strike, which did took a big deflection off united captain harry maguire. another set—back for united's top four hopes. it was a game low on quality, but the result was the most important thing for everton, with a tough run of games still to come. the reality of the position is clear. you can feel that in the stadium but at the same time, we are good here at goodison, good in my time here, winning five out of seven games, we do not concede like we do at home but at the same time, the fighting spirit that we showed, the qualities we showed a big deal for us and we need to replicate that, it is three points, one win. but need more. meanwhile, chelsea were saturday's big winners. they thrashed southampton 6—0 at st mary's.

timo wener got two of the goals. england international mason mount also got two, to help chelsea hit back after defeats to brentford and real madrid in the last week. son heung—min scored a hat—trick as tottenham won a—0 at aston villa. they're three points clear of fifth placed arsenal who lost to brighton. elsewhere leeds beat watford. scottish premiership leaders celtic beat stjohnstone 7—0. matt 0'riley scoring twice. the win puts celtic nine points clear of rangers who play st mirren today. it's all set up for a thrilling final day at the masters. america's scottie sheffler continues to lead the way, heading into the final round with a three—shot lead. the world number one looked in complete control in the early stages of round three before a late wobble has given hope to the chasing pack. michael redford reports. moving day at augusta always brings change, except this time it wasn't solely about the leader board. from a rising sun to chilly conditions, not that scottie scheffler was showing any signs of cold feet.

the world number one has been in a hot streak of form of late, and it showed no sign of stopping here. an impressive front nine meant his overnight lead of five shots soon became six. this was all feeling a bit too easy. augusta, though, is never easy. the winds of change suddenly blowing. four bogeys now followed, with scheffler suddenly feeling the heat. all sorts of trouble. that's deep in the woods. his lead cut to three. cameron smith, his closest rival, the australian, had the round of the day at four under par. and he's not the only contender. sungjae im led after round one before dropping off the pace. three birdies in five holes means he's close to catching up again. and behind him sits ireland's shane lowry and 2011 champion charl schwartzel.

here we go. go on, then, keep going. yes, sir! the south african will need a few more shots like that, though, to get back into contention. tiger woods needs more than a few good shots to complete his fairytale return to action. he finished the day on six over par, his worst ever round at the masters, and so instead it'll be this american hoping to steal the headlines on the final day. a first major title is within touching distance. now, can scottie scheffler keep his cool? michael redford, bbc news. fascinating final round ahead. the australian grand prix is underway in melbourne. ferrari's charles leclerc started from pole ahead of world champion max verstappen and made the perfect start to keep his lead. lewis hamilton moved up a couple of places by the first corner, but is currently fourth. carlos sainz�*s race is already over though as he lost control of his ferrari onjust the second lap. you can follow the race on bbc radio

5 live and the bbc sport website. work as everfor work as ever for lewis hamilton and his bouncing mercedes. looking good for ferrari. for lewis hamilton, not so good. we have to tell people, you have put formula 1 down there so we can keep an eye on it. i am a little distracted. and you are a dry to survive fan, we have spoken about that. thank you.— survive fan, we have spoken about that. thank you. thank you. speak to ou later. many of us are seeing the weekly food bill go up but farmers are also feeling the pinch and some fear the cost of living crisis could drive them out of business altogether. the price of their raw materials is soaring but at the same time, shops and supermarkets are desperate to keep costs down for customers. marc ashdown reports. two more new arrivals. you could well see a birth. stick around, you will see a birth. i didn't bring my surgical gloves. it's lambing season at steve's farm

near leatherhead in surrey. early starts. not much sleep, but it's rising prices that are keeping farmers up at night. i'm worried about the spiralling costs. diesel, fertiliser, animalfeed, everything's gone through the roof, which will be felt in the shops. when you're talking 20, 30%, it's not a price you can absorb. you go bust if you don't. so we're going to have to be passing it on now, you know, and it is really starting to bite in there. he's ninth generation. one of the tenth generation helps him run the family butchers. most farmers have had to diversify like this and hope world problems might lead to local solutions. i don't think everyone's going to turn vegan, so it'd be nice for people to start thinking more locally than abroad and cheap. and, you know, people start paying more for premium quality produce. i think. we keep trying to shop local, - even though obviously everything is a bit difficult at the moment. in terms of other prices going up.

i've always been a bit canny with shopping, but no, i mean, i like the best. meat wise. so that's why i come here. it's only in recent years that we rely on our food coming from all over, and hence the reason of food security can become an issue when you've got a global problem. another thorny issue is a shortage of labour. this a piece of rosemary. it'sjust under a hectare, yields around about nine or ten tonnes per year, and that ends up in the supermarkets. we use about 75 people to pick all of the crops. there's 1a caravans here. since brexit, only half the previous number of seasonal workers can be recruited from europe. new visa rules require them to earn a minimum of £10.10 an hour, but locals can be employed on minimum wage, 60p less. so far, this business hasn't had a single homegrown application. so actually all it does is drives the whole wages up to £10.10. and is that difficult

for you then with the margins? well, it's massively difficult for us. i was doing some rough numbers, somewhere between 230 and £250,000, on a business that budgets to make about £100,000 profit. that wipes it out at budget level, wipes us out absolutely completely. and just when the domestic food chain is more important than ever, a new government scheme is offering farmers money to stop producing meat and veg. we could put in a grass seed, which would be overwintered and seeded for birds, or maybe a bee mixture, and we would get a definite income from that rather than gambling on spiralling commodity prices. so you can just make money from not farming? basically or lose less, shall i say, yeah. food uncertainty is only going to increase and farmers are feeling it more than most.

we will talk about that a bit more on that later giving squeezes. time now for an in—depth look at the war in ukraine, asjohn simpson presents "unspun world" from lviv. hello. welcome to unspun world, where the bbc�*s experts across the globe provides straight answers about what's really going on. this is lviv in western ukraine, a long way from the fighting but the main transition point for humanitarian aid and indeed weaponry in this extraordinary invasion by vladimir putin's russia. you can see something of lviv's complex history from the buildings, polish, austro—hungarian and soviet.

now the statues are covered up to protect them from attack. lviv is one of the two main centres for the bbc�*s reporting of the war, together with kyiv, but how difficult is it to stay balanced and unbiased when your own country is under attack? it is the biggest professional and human challenge of all of my life. the world which i have known for so many years is falling apart. with so many terrible stories coming out about war crimes, how can we know what's really true? they are giving us their testimony. 0urjob is to try to corroborate or verify those claims. and how do correspondents get their information in a war? it comes from everywhere, and in such huge volume. you need to give this unspun picture. when the second world war broke out,

the bbc set out its rules for reporting the war. talk to your audience, they said, even the germans who are listening, as though you have met them in a neutral cafe. don't make things up and don't insult the enemy. the instructions ended — above all, there must be no room for ranting. so, 70 years on, how does the bbc�*s ukrainian service, based here, keep calm and avoid ranting? zhanna bezpiatchuk, the service's main correspondent. reporting on war in your own country, in your homeland. for me, that is the biggest professional and human challenge of all my life. within the first week of war, i had a feeling that i see how the world which i got used

to and the world which i have known for so many years is falling apart. and you see how the foundation of all your life, the foundation of the life of all your family, your friends, your community, and the entire country, your homeland, is being replaced by an abyss. it is turned into an abyss. and, you, as a journalist and human being, you observe how this abyss is widening. the danger is the direct threat to life to everybody. and then you observe this and you understand that you have to continue to report. you have to continue to work as a journalist. but isn't there a temptation just to polish it a little bit, to make it seem worse than it actually is? you know, this temptation is possible, absolutely. because all your heart, all your mind, is obviously on the side of your country,

and as a journalist you are supposed to stay impartial, balanced, fair, accurate, etc. this is very challenging. you just first have to stay away from any signs of hate speech towards anybody, that is the first rule. the second rule is to give the space and platform to the voices of people, first—hand eyewitness accounts. and they will tell to audiences here to ukrainian audiences and international audiences how easily in that particular war their battlefields are being turned into their war crimes fields. as long as this is my country, my homeland, i can grasp many nuances, many minor details, which are issues in this war.

so you will know if people are exaggerating, for instance? exactly. i really can understand this, and there is the reason for example why i have filters, professional filters, when i hearfirst—hand accounts from any towns which are under the russian siege. as a ukrainian, as a human being, not as a journalist or working for the bbc, did you ever think any of this might happen? this country lived with this threat throughout the centuries. and it is repetitive. when russia prepares for its next military campaigns, any kind of aggressions, in order to compensate the inability of so many problems inside their country... by victories, military victories achievements,

victories, achievements, alleged achievements outside. ukraine is a country which is still seen as the heartland of the russian historical mythology, the capital of kyiv. so this ancient state, which is still seen by russia as their historical legacy. will ukraine ever be able to forgive russia for what it has done? i can answer this question as a journalist first — it's easier! i have heard so many opinions and so many accounts of so many people from various parts of this country, from lviv, from mariupol, from russian—speaking mariupol, from russian—speaking kharkiv, from kyiv, saying the same thing, it cannot be forgotten and it cannot be forgiven. very simple. ever? ever.

and as a person? as a person, to be honest i am not ready to answer this question. as a person, i have to swim through the sea of pain. at the moment, the most intensive fighting in this war is going on in and around the besieged town of mariupol, where russia is using the same brutal tactics it perfected in chechnya and syria. mariupol is a key russian objective because it sits in the middle of a coastal strip which links crimea, which russia seized in 201a, with the eastern territories around donbas, which it hopes to capture now. the town has endured weeks of bombing and artillery attacks, and conditions there are said to be appalling. here in lviv, several hundred miles away, hugo bachega, a reporter for bbc 0nline,

has been meticulously chronicling mariupol�*s suffering. what we have been trying to do is establish a network of people that we can rely on to try to get those daily updates from the city that has been completely cut off from the rest of the country and the rest of the world. so these are residents who have managed to leave, they have been the eyes and ears of the world. but we do know that civilians are still being targeted on a daily, hourly, perhaps, basis, do we? exactly, and there are pictures and videos on some accounts that do manage to be sent by people who are in mariupol, and they send those accounts to their relatives and loved ones. the picture we get from those accounts is terrifying, because they talk about being under relentless attacks, day and night.

i interviewed a familyjust days ago, and they were saying that they would spend the days in their flat hiding in the corridor between walls so they would be protected if it was the case of the residential area being attacked or being shelled. the nights would be spent in the basement because it was safer, but they would wake up at five o'clock every day because that is when the constant shelling and the constant attacks would start. they would talk about having to melt snow because there was no water available. they would talk about having almost no food supplies, no medical supplies. people would come together in the streets to cook the very little they had. do we know how many people there are there? mariupol, before the war, had a population of about a50,000 people, it was thriving, it was booming, every single person... and it was beautiful, too, i have been there. exactly, and every single mariupol

resident, they tell us the city was vibrant and then war came and everything has been destroyed. the city council believes that about 150,000 people are still trapped in the city, and they also say that 90% of the city's buildings have been damaged or destroyed, a third of them beyond repair. are you confident that what we're talking about actually is going on? that it isn't. .. you and we are not victims of ukrainian propaganda? we have to rely on the accounts we receive from residents and from people who are there, and they are giving us their testimony. 0urjob is to try to corroborate or verify those claims. i think one of the things that i think captured everybody's attention during the war was the attack on the drama theatre, and we knew that the drama theatre

was being used as a civilian shelter for hundreds, perhaps up to 1000 people. and the word children or child was on the forecourt, wasn't it? painted in front of it, for any pilot or any gunner to see. exactly, and that's what made everything even more, you know, horrific. because the site had been clearly marked as a civilian shelter. the city council said a russian plane dropped a bomb on the theatre. the russians up until now have denied that they attacked the theatre. it was incredibly difficult to locate a survivor, a witness to the attack, somebody who could give us some, any detail of what exactly took place on that morning. and when we finally managed to find somebody, we had to go through a number of checks because we simply didn't know

if this person existed, or if this woman was the person she was claiming to be, and in the end we had a number of different sources confirming that she is who she is claiming to be, and we had then a different survivor telling us details that corroborated the same story. so we try to verify independently with different sources everything we hear. but of course we won't know until the siege of mariupol is finished, and outsiders can get in there and see what's happening? we simply don't know what is going on in mariupol. the way that things look like, it is very unlikely that we are going to be able to get to mariupol anytime soon, the russians really value mariupol. for most of the time, the war seems pretty remote here in lviv, and then just occasionally something happens to remind you that it hasn't gone away. just the other day, anna foster, who is usually the bbc correspondent in beirut,

was getting ready to do a live update for the news when a missile hitjust outside the city. 0h, 0k. i saw a flash there. the camera happened to be rolling at the time. shall we carry on? you sort of process things that are going on around you, in a much more detached way, almost, when you are about to go live and you think about things, it is almost as if things are happening to someone else, as you know very well, the moment you know something is happening is the moment where that fire within you makes you want to tell people, you have just seen something, news is happening now and those are the moments you feel you want to broadcast the most and tell people what's going on. how do you get the information that you feed down the line, to the studio, and get broadcast? it comes from everywhere, and in such huge volume, and i think one of the key things

that we find, particularly in this conflict, and reflecting it back to the name of your programme, it's to try and cut away the spin, you need to give this unspun picture and, of course, at a time of war, you hear very different stories from each side. people have reason to try and get their own narrative out there so you have to really sift through all of this information that comes, but one thing that for me is very important, is for us to see things, forjournalists to see things, with their own eyes. so you don'tjust stand here and... no, when you talk to people and you find out how they are living their lives, what they are seeing on their tv screen, how it is affecting them, what their friends are saying — all of these things are so vitally important when you are trying to build up a picture, it is things you see, it's things that people tell you, you know, you need to really immerse yourself in everything and draw out those key strands, the most important details that you think that the viewers and listeners need to know,

and then build that into a story that makes sense, that has context and analysis. you live and work in beirut, normally — how does that kind of feed in to reporting on a european city in trouble. are there parallels? i think there are parallels, because, beirut, lebanon, and the wider middle east that i cover has seen so much conflict over the last few years, and i think one thing that i am often thinking, when i'm covering this one, is what it would be like for these people in ten years' time. people at the station for example, here in lviv yesterday and there was a steady stream of people coming out, there were children, people with pets, people wheeling huge suitcases, their entire lives they had brought with them and they step out blinking into the sunlight and think, what am i going to do now, where am i going to go next? and when you see and when you have heard so many stories like that

you hope within yourself that for these people and this conflict, that it will be shorter and hopefully less brutal and hopefully that these people will somewhere find a life and some peace. back injanuary, i was in afghanistan, making a documentary about the humanitarian disaster that was overtaking the country following the victory of the taliban and the collapse of the afghan economy. since then, the world's attention has been taken up with events in ukraine, but how bad are things in afghanistan now? and are the taliban turning out to be as extreme as they were when they were in power from 1996 to 2001? just before i left for ukraine, i went to see hameed shuja of the bbc afghan service. let's go back and try to remember what the taliban were remembered for,

known for, during their first reign in the late �*90s. women, or the lack of them in the society, was one thing for example, stopping people for not having beards long enough was another thing. not allowing secondary schoolgirls to go to classes was another thing, strict religious rules and a strict interpretation of the sharia was something else. over the past few months, i think we have seen almost each one of these memories, as i would say, come back to reality. girls' education, secondary education for girls although they promised they would allow them, but they u—turned their own decision. last week, government employees, civil servants walking into their offices in the early morning hours were stopped by the religious police and told not to come to work

until they have beards that are long enough according to their interpretation. why did that happen? there are religious hard—liners within the group, people who mostly come from the southern provinces, from helmand, who are in charge of the religious police, who are in charge of the supreme court. that is the powerful faction within the taliban who have the foot soldiers, who have the majority and who think that things like international legitimacy or recognition, it doesn't mean anything to them. but this of course will have a serious affect on aid from abroad and from the attitude of organisations like the world bank for instance. that is an unfortunate reality. the world right now has so little leverage or influence or control over what the taliban can do that they are desperate to conditionalise aid money with other conditions, for example, girls' education, women's rights and only recently

a few days ago after the taliban u—turned on their decision to send girls back to school, the world bank said they would reconsider sending about $300 million in aid to afghanistan and it does have an impact on civilian lives and people's lives in afghanistan. well, when i was there, earlier this year, everybody was saying we are on a cliff edge, this country is going to collapse, it's not going to be able to feed its people — has that happened, is that in the process of happening? it hasn't got worse than a few months ago, but it hasn't improved either. the only positive thing might be that winter is gone and we are probably moving towards better weather,

in the last few weeks we have had a joint european russian mission to mars, which will not be a joint mission any more, europe has said it does not want russia to be part of that so you have the whole business of trying to remove the russian bits of trying to remove the russian bits of the mission, you have had uk satellites accompanying one which was supposed to be launching up into space on a russian rocket. they are not going up on a russian rocket any more. you have had astronomical observatory that belongs to russia and germany has said we do not to work on that with you so they have turned off the instrument on it so the idea that space operates without any borders, i don't think they can say that any more. this cannot be mended, patched up? the international space station is seen as the symbol of collaboration, a

joint—venture between the russian space agency, nasa, the european space agency, canadian space agency, japanese space agency and there are people on board up there so we are not talking about robots not going to mars, in fact, we'vejust not talking about robots not going to mars, in fact, we've just had russian cosmonauts and american astronauts coming down from the space station, in a soyuz capsule so collaboration is still happening at the moment. there is a russian segment to the space station, there is a segment that belongs to everyone else. and the problem is the technology on the space station, one half is reliant on the other so the russian bit of the space station is in charge of propulsion. if the altitude of the space station starts to drop down, russia gives a little blaster propulsion and it goes back up blaster propulsion and it goes back up and that is important but on the other hand, the other bit of the space station operating between nasa, europe, japan, canada is in

charge of the electrics, and the chunks could not operate without the other. really with the space station the only way you can keep it operational is if it is done as a collaboration, or you say the whole thing is over. collaboration, or you say the whole thing is over-— collaboration, or you say the whole thing is over. does this mean russia will turn to china _ thing is over. does this mean russia will turn to china and _ thing is over. does this mean russia will turn to china and they _ thing is over. does this mean russia will turn to china and they will- will turn to china and they will form some sort of space alliance? possibly. russia was moving a bit in that direction anyway. china is interesting because it has kind of become a space power out of nowhere, really. in the last few years, china has sent a rover up to them and, it has sent a rover up to them and, it has landed a rover on mars, it has got astronauts up in space, you know, they are building their own space station. and one possibility is the collaborations of the west with russia, russia starts to join up with russia, russia starts to join up with china, and the thing is with space, you cannot click your fingers

and things happen. missions take years to design, to build, to launch. ~ .., years to design, to build, to launch. ~ ., , , launch. we could find ourselves with a new battlefield? _ launch. we could find ourselves with a new battlefield? possibly. - launch. we could find ourselves with a new battlefield? possibly. space i a new battlefield? possibly. space has sta ed a new battlefield? possibly. space has stayed out _ a new battlefield? possibly. space has stayed out of _ a new battlefield? possibly. space has stayed out of that, _ a new battlefield? possibly. space has stayed out of that, but - a new battlefield? possibly. space has stayed out of that, but what . a new battlefield? possibly. space has stayed out of that, but what is quite interesting is at the end of last year, russia actually launched, took one of its old spy satellites, it destroyed it. it is the first time something like that has happened and the problem was it blasted the spy satellite into lots and lots of little pieces and things being blasted into lots of little pieces in space is a real problem because they are travelling around really fast and it is creating loads of space junk and that is an issue. it becomes a much more dangerous place both up there and down here as well. figs place both up there and down here as well. �* , ., place both up there and down here as well. ~ , ., ., ., well. as for the war, the actual fi . htin: well. as for the war, the actual fighting has — well. as for the war, the actual fighting has gone _ well. as for the war, the actual fighting has gone quiet - well. as for the war, the actual fighting has gone quiet for- well. as for the war, the actual fighting has gone quiet for a i well. as for the war, the actual. fighting has gone quiet for a bit, while the russian turned their main

good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and luxmy gopal. 0ur headlines today: johnson meets zelensky in kyiv — in a surprise visit the prime minister promises armoured vehicles and new missiles in a "show of solidarity" with ukraine. the ukrainians have shown the courage of a lion and you have given the roar of that lion. taxing times for the chancellor — rishi sunak demands an investigation into who leaked details about his wife's finances. france goes to the polls in their presidential election as macron faces a challenge

from far—right candidate marine le pen. a fairy tale finish to his career, amateurjockey sam waley—cohen wins the grand national on 50 to one outsider noble yeats — in his last competitive race it is a dream, it is an overstated word but i could not, could not have imagined it. a chilly start to the day with a widespread frost, some sunshine in the forecast but tomorrow, turning unsettled. it's sunday, april 10th. our main story. borisjohnson has set out a new package of military and financial assistance for ukraine, after meeting president zelensky in the capital, kyiv. the prime minister is the first leader of a g7 country to travel to the ukrainian capital for talks since the start of the russian invasion.

during the visit, he promised 120 armoured vehicles — as well as new anti—ship missile systems. mark lowen has this report from kyiv. how are you? there's little time for niceties when you're a leader at war. volodymyr zelensky welcomed borisjohnson to kyiv as ukraine battling russian aggression pleads for more western help. you are strong. the strength of the underdog. ukraine's president battling for his country's survival, welcoming and pleading with the outside world to help fight russian aggression. the unannounced talks came as britain pledged 120 armoured vehicles and new anti—ship missile systems. the two men were keen to suggest ukraine is on the front foot — a walkabout in kyiv inconceivable a fortnight ago. borisjohnson, basking in praise for his support from the public and the president.

translation: we have to exert pressure in the form _ of sanctions, and i'm grateful to the united kingdom that continues and intensifies the sanctions and also provides significant support to ukraine by reinforcing our defence capacities. the other democratic western countries should follow the example of the united kingdom. from borisjohnson arriving as horrors are unearthed from neighbouring towns, warm words for a leader he called a lion. i thank you for what you've been able to do. i think your leadership has been extraordinary and i think in what putin has done in places like bucha and in irpin, in his war crimes have permanently polluted his reputation and the reputation of his government. borisjohnson was long keen to come here to kyiv, but was waiting for the security

situation to stabilise following the withdrawal of russian troops from the area. and while this city has calmed, the renewed russian offensive in the east has made ukraine push even harderfor more military aid. russian tanks pushed on as a governor in the east urged civilians to flee immediately, warning of troops massing nearby. bucha near kyiv, now free of russian troops, shows what might lie in store elsewhere — 360 people are said to have died here and ukraine, the david against the goliath, is still crying out for help. we can speak now to our correspondent, danjohnson, who joins us from lviv in western ukraine. we ukraine. know people in the east of ukraine we know people in the east of ukraine have been told to flee urgently in the face of warnings of russian attacks, how is the

evacuation process going? it is russian attacks, how is the evacuation process going? it is a difficult, complicated _ evacuation process going? it is a difficult, complicated process . evacuation process going? it is a | difficult, complicated process and it is fraught with risks. as we saw with the number of people who lost their lives in the attack at a railway station on friday. there were humanitarian corridors established, ten of them yesterday to get people out of the besieged cities in the east of ukraine. how successful that was, it is unclear how many people were able to leave. but that has been the plea, people in the donbas especially, get a safety net because the expected russian military offensive they will intensify. president zelensky said he was ready for a tough battle in the east. he said it was a hard battle but he believed in the fight and in our victory. battle but he believed in the fight and in ourvictory. he battle but he believed in the fight and in our victory. he has welcomed the military support coming from borisjohnson and from other european countries but he has called for more of the military aid and greater sanctions on russia as well.

we have been seeing images of boris johnson in kyiv yesterday, but how has his visit been received by people in ukraine? the has his visit been received by people in ukraine? the pictures are really striking. _ people in ukraine? the pictures are really striking, the _ people in ukraine? the pictures are really striking, the fact _ people in ukraine? the pictures are really striking, the fact the - people in ukraine? the pictures are really striking, the fact the two - really striking, the fact the two leaders are able to walk freely around the capital city. albeit with armed guards, but it is a marked a change in the situation there when kyiv was surrounded and occupied. it shows you how much things have changed with the russian withdrawal from the capital city but their focus has shifted to the east. armoured cars and anti—tank weapons as well as air defence systems have been strongly welcomed from the ukrainian leadership, with the uk being described as one of the strongest military supporters of ukraine. borisjohnson is not the only european leader to make the

visit to meet president zelensky in ukraine, but the ukrainian leadership needs more military equipment to carry on with the defence with the expectation the fighting will intensify to the east of the country now. dan fighting will intensify to the east of the country now.— fighting will intensify to the east of the country now. dan johnson in ukraine. the chancellor rishi sunak, is calling for an inquiry to find out who leaked details about his wife 5 tax arrangements. akshata murty has said she will pay uk taxes on her overseas income, after a row about her residential status — as millions of people face a cost of living crisis. 0ur political correspondent david wallace lockhart has more. david, what's the latest? this has been rumbling on for a week or so. a, this has been rumbling on for a week or so. ~ ., this has been rumbling on for a week orso.~ ., , ., ., or so. a tough couple of weeks for the chancellor, _ or so. a tough couple of weeks for the chancellor, and _ or so. a tough couple of weeks for the chancellor, and it _ or so. a tough couple of weeks for the chancellor, and it started - or so. a tough couple of weeks for the chancellor, and it started a . the chancellor, and it started a couple of weeks ago when he was accused of not understanding the

crisis that people are facing. and then there was the revelations of akshata murty and her non—dom status. it is within the rules for her situation but people saying there was not enough transparency around the family's tax affairs at a point when he was putting up tax. his wife has now said she will pay tax on her international income. it is not the last we are likely to hear about this because the chancellor has asked for a whitehall inquiry to take place to find out how this information leaked and became public. so a bruising period for the chancellor. the bbc understands his family will be moving out of downing street, all those close to him stressing this was a decision made before any of these revelations about tax affairs and non—dom status came to light. it

is notjust the chancellor in the spotlight, the health secretary, sajid javid has told the sunday times he used to hold non—dom status before he entered politics. he has revealed that this morning. but when it comes to the chancellor, rishi sunak, he has put a lot of effort into building up his personal brand. that has taken a hit over the past couple of weeks and his team will hope that is all the revelations out there so they can now get to work and rebuild the brand.— there so they can now get to work and rebuild the brand. david, thanks very much- — the polls have just opened this morning in the french presidential election. the top two of the 12 candidates will face each other in a final vote in two weeks. recent polls show a dramatic fall in president macron's lead over his main challenger, the far—right leader marine le pen. 0ur europe correspondent, anna holligan, joins us now from paris.

how has this gap opened up, how has marine le pen garnered more support in the polls? the marine le pen garnered more support in the polls?— in the polls? the polls have 'ust o-ened in the polls? the polls have 'ust opened here fl in the polls? the polls have 'ust opened here and i in the polls? the polls have 'ust opened here and although h in the polls? the polls have just opened here and although it - in the polls? the polls have just opened here and although it is l in the polls? the polls have just - opened here and although it is early on a sunday morning that has been a flow of people entering this polling station behind me. initially the war in ukraine distracted voters that work for president macron, he could play the statesman on the world stage and people were rallying around the flat. but as things went on, people in paris and beyond realise this was having a geopolitical impact and they were feeling the cost of living crisis at the fuel pumps and shopping baskets. marine le pen has spent the last five years working to try to detoxify her image, rebrand herself and her party. she was there ready to pick up on these disenfranchised voters who felt as though their voices were not being heard. she has positioned herself as the protector of the people, she has talked about

making people pay income tax a lot later, not increasing the retirement age, as president macron has. that has been something that has really helped her. now we see she is within points of president macron, something that is unimaginable a few weeks ago. things have really shifted and she is, according to the latest polls, closer than she has ever been before, marine le pen on the far right taking the french presidency. although president macron is still slightly ahead in the polls. macron is still slightly ahead in the olls. �* . ., ~ macron is still slightly ahead in the olls. �* . . ~' p&0 ferries says it won't resume services on the dover—to—calais route before good friday at the earliest, meaning there could be several more days of disruption. lorry drivers say goods they are carrying are going down in price because they're being forced to sit in long queues at dover port and perishable products are going to waste. here's our business correspondent katie prescott. dover this weekend. 0ne giant lorry park

as the easter getaway continues. and p&0 ferries' routes are suspended. for those carrying goods with a short shelf life, sitting and waiting in this queue means products going off. this logistics boss says he's losing up to £800 a day. if you then have a delay quite easily now of 2a hours into that, not only have they got the logistical issues, but you've also got the quality and the sale value of that product down the line, but it's effectively devaluing by every hour it's delayed. delays of 20 to 25 hours are frustrating drivers. you would sit for maybe two or three hours, and then you would get moved for 100 yards and then you're sitting for a0 minutes. you move 100 feet. ludicrous. there's no services. drivers having to go to the toilet as well, side of the road. yesterday midday, i stopped at 57 km from dover, for dover, sorry, - and i wait 26 hours.

been hours, hours and hours in the traffic. really bad. where have you come from? portsmouth, beliveve it or not. we travelled down and yeah, hopefully we'll catch a train. if not, we're going to miss the race. the group that represents businesses which store and move chilled food says all this is stifling trade. if you're operating a perishable supply chain, then you absolutely need to be able to move the goods through quickly. the evidence now that there are significant delays means business will stop trying to send goods into the uk and trying to send goods out, because you can't carry the risk of your load being lost and losing tens of thousands of pounds worth of value. in response, the department for transport said the traffic management measures are under regular review, but gave no indication that there would be a change made for those transporting perishable items. in a statement, they said:

and as this disruption continues, there are fears that these delays are fanning the flames of driver shortages in an already stretched industry. katie prescott, bbc news. the weather looked beautiful in dover, even with all the long queues. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. it looks pretty good today, some sunshine, beautiful out there now. little on the crispy side. we have a widespread frost around at the moment. let's look at the temperatures in the last hour or so. 0ne temperatures in the last hour or so. one of the cold spots has been southern parts of scotland, as low

as minus five. 0n the south coast of england, temperatures are at around minus three minus four celsius. in kew gardens it is also around minus one. but the atlantic satellite pictures show this low pressure here. it is approaching and it means cloud will be on the increase across the western part of the uk. so sky is turning hazy and even the possibility of damp weather developing in northern ireland. the further east and south, the sunnier it will be. generally speaking it isn't going to be a bad day, a little on the fresh site, temperatures between eight and 13 celsius. tonight, the winds are coming in from the south. they are increasing as well. we have more cloud around so it is not going to be as frosty. the early morning temperatures on monday will range

from around two to a degree celsius depending on where you are, most of us somewhere in between. this is the weather map for monday and we have low pressure just towards the west of us and it is generally introducing some cloud coming in from the south, but it is rain bearing clouds. some of this rain will be on the heavy side and it is almost like filaments of rain across the west. we're not talking about a wall of water, it will be a splash of rain and then back to sunny spells. 17 in london tomorrow, 11 in newcastle. the contrast in the temperature. the mild air coming in from the southern climes, it is spreading over the uk during tuesday. it doesn't necessarily mean sunshine, yes it will be milder, but with that also comes the cloud. it is raining on tuesday, particularly northern areas. in the south, watch how the showers developed during the course of the day. temperatures up to around 19 in norwich and on the

fresh side across more northern parts of the country. that is as a result of the cloud and outbreaks of rain. it turns unsettled monday and tuesday. it will start to turn brighter as we head into wednesday and that you can see temperatures, pretty pleasant for the time of the yearin pretty pleasant for the time of the year in the high teens. but in the north it will be on the fresh site, edinburgh more like 12 to 1a degrees. turning a bit milder, but not necessarily sunny all the time. it is looking hopeful for the easter weekend? it is. in fact, it is looking hopeful for the easter weekend? it is. infact, i it is looking hopeful for the easter weekend? it is. in fact, i will tell you straightaway, on easter weekend is looking absolutely fine at the moment. you kept that hidden! thank you, ending on a positive. there's a warning this morning that russian forces have adopted a deliberate strategy of targeting civilians in ukraine. that's the assessment of the uk's ministry of defence, citing evidence left behind by departing russian troops north of kyiv.

we can speak now to ivanna klympush—tsintsadze a ukrainian mp who has visited some of the towns affected in recent days. you have returned from some of those towns, particularly back from bucha so what did you experience when you are there? . ~ so what did you experience when you are there? ., ,, , ., so what did you experience when you are there? ., ,, i. ., ., are there? thank you for having me, aood are there? thank you for having me, good morning- _ are there? thank you for having me, good morning- i— are there? thank you for having me, good morning. i didn't— are there? thank you for having me, good morning. i didn't visit - are there? thank you for having me, good morning. i didn't visit only - good morning. i didn't visit only bucha, but there are so many other villages and towns that have been suffering this immense tragedy, from the occupational forces while they were there. it is of towns around kyiv. it is devastating, it is totally horrifying to watch, to see how the houses, homes are totally destroyed and people are left

without nothing. and how people have been deprived of their basic right to live. i was happy to see in some of the cities and towns, a lot of reconstruction workers are already present and volunteers. incredible number of volunteers were coming in to help clear out the debris and bring in food and medicine, to help clear out the debris and bring infood and medicine, bringing in most necessary things. very, very slowly, there is a ray of hope that people will come back there. but there is no electricity, no gas, no communication connection there at this particular moment. i think everybody who has seen that scenery would agree that this was deliberate

targeting of civilians and these were not only war crimes, not only crimes against humanity, but also acts of genocide carried out against ukrainian people. it is ukrainian people. it is unimaginable, - ukrainian people. it is unimaginable, the - ukrainian people. it is - unimaginable, the images, ukrainian people. it is unimaginable, the images, the pictures we are looking at and the stories that we are hearing and the conditions there that you describe. as you said, some help is finally getting through, but i wonder what life is like day to day for people who are still there? you life is like day to day for people who are still there?— life is like day to day for people who are still there? you know, some --eole, who are still there? you know, some people. we — who are still there? you know, some people. we have _ who are still there? you know, some people, we have met _ who are still there? you know, some people, we have met one, _ who are still there? you know, some people, we have met one, and - people, we have met one, and 82—year—old man whose house was totally destroyed but he still has a basement. he stays in the night and also for eating in his basement and during the day he is cleaning up parts of the bricks in order to try to restore parts of the house. it is

heartbreaking. a lot of people just live in a kind of, they are moving out to other communities and are staying in bigger homes, the schools have been preserved and they are staying in classrooms altogether. it is devastating. a lot of kindergartens have been hit and destroyed, also hospitals. that is just hard to imagine and also going into the apartments and houses where those occupiers have been staying during their occupation time, you would be totally, negatively impressed about what they have been leaving behind. they have been animals, i don't know, pigs that have been living there. they have destroyed everything in the

apartments where they have been staying and looted everything possible from there. people across the world cannot even imagine how low is the morality, how low is the culture of those russian terrorists occupying troops that are coming in here and killing our people. figs rare here and killing our people. as we see those russian _ here and killing our people. as we see those russian troops - here and killing our people. as we see those russian troops leave i here and killing our people. as we see those russian troops leave areas around kyiv, we are told it is to concentrate their fighting, around kyiv, we are told it is to concentrate theirfighting, may around kyiv, we are told it is to concentrate their fighting, may be in the east and the south and people in the east and the south and people in those areas are being told that now is the time to leave? what more do you know about that and our people living in the numbers that might be required to try and keep them safe as russia continues and increases its offensive in the east of the country? iterate increases its offensive in the east of the country?— increases its offensive in the east of the country? we shouldn't even use the word _ of the country? we shouldn't even use the word may _ of the country? we shouldn't even use the word may be. _ of the country? we shouldn't even use the word may be. rush - of the country? we shouldn't even use the word may be. rush it - of the country? we shouldn't even use the word may be. rush it willl use the word may be. rush it will increase the pressure and the military effort in the north and

eastern and southern territories of ukraine. we can see those troops are being gathered there and another offensive being launched. therefore, yes, people are leaving and people are trying to find refuge in some other parts of ukraine, as well as still living abroad as refugees. it is heartbreaking, because we would like our people to restore their lives right here in our country. but for that we have to win. we are grateful to the uk for all the support that you have been rendering to ukraine. i would like others to also follow the path and follow the footprints and provide us with more and more weaponry for us to be able to defend ourselves and also press on the russian federation with sanctions without loopholes that are still there that allow russia to

still there that allow russia to still refuel its economy and use that money for the terrorist attacks on us. ~ . that money for the terrorist attacks on us. . . ., ., ,~. on us. we are grateful for your time and speaking _ on us. we are grateful for your time and speaking to _ on us. we are grateful for your time and speaking to us _ on us. we are grateful for your time and speaking to us this _ on us. we are grateful for your time and speaking to us this morning, i and speaking to us this morning, thank you for being here and we wish you well. ukrainian troops have been fighting on the front line against the russian invasion for weeks now — but a growing number of international volunteers have also signed up to fight. the uk government has warned people not to travel to the conflict but that hasn't stopped some british recruits, as emma vardy has been finding out. a rallying call. this recruitment video for ukraine's newly—formed international legion appeals for people to join the fight from all over the world. there are times we get maybe 20 to 23 air raid sirens a day. and it's clear what's happening on ukraine's front lines is resonating with people much further afield. there's just too much to watch, you know, it's like asking a firefighter to walk past a burning house and not do anything, you know?

most ex veterans like myself probably feel exactly the same way, that they couldn't sit back and just watch the destruction, the attack and all the civilians and stuff like that. aj, a former soldier with the british army, traveled here from belfast in northern ireland. following his previous military career, more recently, he'd been appearing in dramatic war scenes as an extra on game of thrones, but decided he wanted to return to the battlefield for real. due to my military background, i felt this would be the best place for me, helping the ukrainian troops with the weapons training and drills, what to do under fire and stuff like that. and i'm not i'm not like a war tourist or somebody like that. i was comfortable back home sitting with my cat. how have people reacted to you being there? i've got a pretty broad belfast accent, so when people, when i'm out and about people notice you and they tend to like, just come up, shake your hand. and i think they need to see things like that, you know, because they need to know the world behind them. the patch represents valhalla, that's our squad name. aj's now been on the front lines for over a month. his is one of several

battalions, with international volunteers fighting alongside the ukrainian army. we were surprised the number of people who wanted to come to us. there are hundreds of messages per day. what do british fighters bring to the war here? they have combat experience or military experience. a lot of these people have been to iraq, afghanistan, syria. i don't know if you guys know what this is behind me, i but that's a russian tank, which we've taken out. i of course, joining a foreign war isn't something to be done lightly. and the international legion invited us to meet some of its members, who are now helping to vet the many applicants that want to join. we turn away anyone who doesn't have combat experience and we turn away people who don't pass our individual assessments. do you worry at all this could attract the wrong people with the wrong motivations?

i won't lie to you, we've seen quite a lot of these, especially in the early days, and i hope that we've now been sufficiently clear in our communication that this is not call of duty, it's not a video game, it's a war and we need people that know their way around the battlefield. ukraine's armed forces are clearly very proud that they've had so many international fighters wanting to come and join them. and what they're saying here today is that the alleged war crimes that have been taking place show that ukraine's fight, they say, is everyone's fight and they're calling for more people like this to come and join them. we met sandra, who's had a pretty drastic change of scene, leaving behind herjob working on fishing boats in norway to come to ukraine. sandra, what made you decide to get involved? morally obligated. i'm european, this is home base.

as the world watches ukraine's conflict unfold, it's becoming clear that a powerful sense of international solidarity is helping to bolster ukraine's front lines. emma vardy, bbc news. the situation in ukraine has prompted many people — including children — to do what they can to help those fleeing the conflict. 12—year—old gabriel clark decided to put his woodworking talents to use, after his designs went viral on social media. he received thousands of requests for his creations, and so gabriel decided to raffle a handmade bowl. here he is making it in his workshop — and the money he makes will go towards supporting ukraine — he's so far raised more than £70,000. gabriel and his dad richard join us now. good morning to you both. £70,000,

before one of the favourites, last year's winner rachael blackmore, were down at the ninth fence. after the last of 29 fences the favourite took the lead, but in orange, sam waley—cohen, the only amateurjockey in the race, had other ideas on the 50—1 shot, coming out on top following a thrilling battle to the line. you just can't make it up, you try and give everybodyjoy and happiness and something to celebrate, and mostly everyone goes home thinking about what a waste of time, and so for it to come off and to make it all happen like that, just surreal. 15 of the a0 horses finished the race with one fatality, put down after an injury, and it later emerged that sam waley—cohen had been handed a penalty for breaching the whip rules during his winning ride. a sting in the tail to what had otherwise been a memorable day,

the grand national so often provides memorable moments and it delivered once again. when the premier league fixtures were released last summer — many people wondered if today's game between manchester city and liverpool would end up deciding who wins the title. that could well prove to be the case — when both sides meet this afternoon, with cityjust one point clear of liverpool at the top of the table going into the game. joe lynskey looks ahead to the most anticipated game of the season: the two best teams in england, perhaps the two best teams in the world. the premier league's modern rivalry is one built on quality, and they're both relentless. this time, city hosts liverpool with eight games to go and one point between them. one of them's won the league the last four seasons. and they've pushed each other on. sometimes 97 points hasn't been enough to win it.

and for both these great managers, this has been the toughest match. the last five years had been the biggest opening. it's been an incredible and marvellous, you know, contender. jurgen have been as a manager, the bigger rival i ever had in my career. yeah, will be an incredible test. we will push each other to an incredible tallies madness. i would have never thought that these kind of things are possible and especially not in this league. so the consistency both teams showed in that period is absolutely crazy. this season, it's got close late on. injanuary, city led by 1a points. commentator: and it is 12 i premier league wins in a row for manchester city. but then had slip ups — liverpooljust kept winning to now close the gap and with one more win, today they'd go out in front. we were 1a points behind city

and now we've clawed that gap back to one point and i think we should all be really proud of how far they've come this season, winning and getting three points at the etihad. don't think it would get much better than that. liverpool have just kept on winning, and that's why that gap is shortened tojust one point because they've been so relentless. and it just shows that the standards of these two teams and how they're they're really pushing each other towards greatness. i think they are the two best teams in the world without doubt, and it's going to be fascinating to see how it plays out. they've been so dominant, but so close. in four years of football and 1aa games, there's one point between them. this year, one will lift the trophy with the fans back in to see it. it means so much to both of them in football's great modern rivalry. joe lynskey, bbc news. scottish premiership leaders celtic beat stjohnstone 7—0. matt 0'riley scoring twice. the win puts celtic nine points clear of rangers who play st mirren today elsewhere, dundee united drew 2—2 with bottom side dundee. nicky clark with

united's first goal. his side are now guaranteed a top six finish. elsewhere, hearts beat hibs, ross county beat aberdeen, and livingston drew with motherwell it's all set up for a thrilling final day at the masters. america's scottie sheffler continues to lead the way — heading into the final round with a three—shot lead. the world number one looked in complete control in the early stages of round three — before a late wobble has given hope to the chasing pack. tiger woods though recorded the worst masters round of his career. michael redford reports. moving day at augusta always brings change, except this time it wasn't solely about the leader board. from a rising sun to chilly conditions, not that scottie scheffler was showing any signs of cold feet. the world number one has been in a hot streak of form of late, and it showed no sign of stopping here. an impressive front nine meant his overnight lead of five shots soon became six. this was all feeling a bit too easy. augusta, though, is never easy.

the winds of change suddenly blowing. four bogeys now followed, with scheffler suddenly feeling the heat. all sorts of trouble. that's deep in the woods. his lead cut to three. cameron smith, his closest rival, the australian, had the round of the day at four under par. and he's not the only contender. sungjae im led after round one before dropping off the pace. three birdies in five holes means he's close to catching up again. and behind him sits ireland's shane lowry and 2011 champion charl schwartzel. here we go. go on, then, keep going. yes, sir! the south african will need a few more shots like that, though, to get back into contention. tiger woods needs more than a few good shots to complete his fairytale return to action. he finished the day on six over par,

his worst ever round at the masters, and so instead it'll be this american hoping to steal the headlines on the final day. a first major title is within touching distance. now, can scottie scheffler keep his cool? michael redford, bbc news. should be a fascinating final day. in rugby, england head coach simon middleton said his players found it "tough to take" watching abby dow suffer a serious leg injury in their six nations win against wales. the full—back cried out in pain as she went down in an awkward tackle and play was stopped for more than 15 minutes as she received medical attention. england did go on to score ten tries overall, with winger jess breach marking her return from injury with two of them, in front of a record crowd. later today, scotland play france, while ireland host italy. st helens are through to the challenge cup semi—finals after a dominant win over catalans dragons.

they scored six tries altogether, joe batchelor rounding things off for his side. this was a rematch of super league's grand final — st helens wining again, this time by 36 points to 20 to make the semi—finals. huddersfield giants are also through after beating hull fc 2a—16. time to tell you charles leclaire has in the last few minutes won the australian grand prix. another dominant display from him. max verstappen the defending champion is out, the second of the three races he has had to retire. this appointment for him. carlos sainz also retired, sergio perez was second, lewis hamilton was not third, george russell was third, three british drivers, third, fourth and fifth. lewis hamilton was fourth. lando norris in his mclaren was fifth. hamilton frustrated, could have put himself on the podium, hard done by yet again by a

safety car situation. all looking good for ferrari. i do not think hamilton is ready to forget about that but what a story for george russell, second podium finish in his career. and so it continues. lovely to see you again. thank you. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. you've been promising us a mixed bag, it is what we would call whether good for the garden. i bag, it is what we would call whether good for the garden. ! yes, aood for whether good for the garden. ! yes, good for the — whether good for the garden. ! yes, good for the ducks. _ whether good for the garden. ! yes, good for the ducks. but _ whether good for the garden. ! yes, good for the ducks. but that - whether good for the garden. ! yes, good for the ducks. but that is i whether good for the garden. ! yes, good for the ducks. but that is to i good for the ducks. but that is to come tomorrow. today is dry. it's frosty. pretty chilly, temperatures dipping to minus five degrees, —2 in bournemouth. the frost should clear fairly quickly, the sunshine really strong this time of the year so it will not not last for very long and the temperature shooting up but not very high today! still on the cool side. we are watching this weather system in the atlantic coming our

way tomorrow and will bring some outbreaks of rain, in fact already brushing western parts of the uk through the course of today. in places like northern ireland, the western fringes of scotland, these areas towards the west will turn hazy and cloudy during the day but if you live in the east and the south, ports portsmouth, norwich, it's not particularly warm. the winds blowing from the south tonight, cloud increasing and that basically means it will not turn cold. the cloud is basically like a blanket over us during the night, if you have a blanket over you it does not get cold so the land does not get cold, three degrees in newcastle. 8 degrees warmer than what we have had. so here is the weather map on monday. low pressure getting out of the way, being careful to step over the wires here! cloud and rain sweeping in, the rain

will come and go and actually tomorrow, once the rain passes and you get decent sunny spells, 1a—17 should feel pretty decent but in aberdeen it's only around 8 degrees. tuesdayis aberdeen it's only around 8 degrees. tuesday is when the milder air tries to spread in from the south and just about starts to reach scotland. i do not think it will warm up in a hurry, there is cloud and rain, the milder weather on tuesday will certainly be further south but the other side of the token is we could even have heavy showers and perhaps thundery ones developing. widely mid to high teens across the southern half of the uk, still on the chilly side on tuesday further north. the outlook, the middle part of the week not looking too bad, fridayc looking promising, going to stick my neck out a little and say it looks as though high—pressure, good weather, going to built into easter weekend. the first official outlook for the easter weekend! at the moment, we

will call it a try it with some sunshine! i cannot promise it will be glorious all across the board but at the moment i would probably say it's looking a lot better than the other way around!— it's looking a lot better than the other way around! define sunshine for us. other way around! define sunshine for us- you — other way around! define sunshine for us. you see, _ other way around! define sunshine for us. you see, that _ other way around! define sunshine for us. you see, that is _ other way around! define sunshine for us. you see, that is the - other way around! define sunshine for us. you see, that is the point! | for us. you see, that is the point! i cannot! for us. you see, that is the point! i cannot! nice _ for us. you see, that is the point! i cannot! nice caveat! _ for us. you see, that is the point! i cannot! nice caveat! well- for us. you see, that is the point! i cannot! nice caveat! well done. | for us. you see, that is the point! | i cannot! nice caveat! well done. i will take _ i cannot! nice caveat! well done. i will take that. good enough for me. probably— will take that. good enough for me. probably blue skies. i do like your easter tree! probably blue skies. i do like your eastertree! it probably blue skies. i do like your easter tree! it is not mine. did not tell anyone. i easter tree! it is not mine. did not tell anyone-— tell anyone. i will take the sunshine _ tell anyone. i will take the sunshine this _ tell anyone. i will take the sunshine this easter. i time now for the latest technology news — here's this week's click...

mobile world congress. every year, barcelona used to be lit up with smartphone launches and announcements of connected devices, beyond what you might ever think of or need. now, 2020 was pretty much a no—show, for obvious reasons, and last year — well, that was just weird. we've arrived. this is fira de barcelona. yes, the show was back on, but we couldn't go — although you were there in spirit, if not in body. yeah, the less said about that, the better. but this year, it's back in full swing with all sorts of companies showing off their latest wares. so, whilst i am here at the design museum in london, where behind me, there's a good old—fashioned brick phone and a nokia 3310 — remember those? — we know how fast these phones change, so we've sent omar mehtab and osman

iqbal to barcelona. samsung, nokia, huawei, oppo, xiaomi — they're all here and all got something to show. that's the thing about mwc, isn't it? it's all about the big releases. say, for example, this — the samsung 522 ultra. the supposedly best of their 522 range, it comes with a touch bigger screen than its predecessor, a slightly more powerful cpu and a bigger sensor, so its cameras can take better pictures in low light. but they have learnt from the 521 ultra, because instead of flogging a 60 quid case to house the optional 5 pen, they've just given it to you, in here, and they've got a little slot for it within the phone, which potentially spells the end of the note series? who knows. but what i can say is this does write smooth. you know, like a pen on paper. the problem is in some tests, the battery life is actually a little bit worse than the 521 ultra and its square design doesn't feel as natural in your hand, either.

and at 1,200 quid, you wonder if it is worth the huge price tag with such little differences. but it pairs well with this — the newly announced galaxy book 2 pro. this is the most powerful of its line—up, the 360, and it starts at around 1,099 quid. it offers a few interesting titbits, like a 1080p front—facing camera and auto framing, which keeps you centred in your shot — for your video calls that undoubtedly became more popular over the last two years. can't find me! there it is! it's found me! but the multi control impressed the most, where you can keep watch of your smartphone and also use your tab 58 as a second screen, creating quite an ecosystem. samsung stands for innovation, you know? typically where we lead, others follow. bringing all of those the elements of the note and bringing them to the 522 because we listened to our customers — they wanted that productivity, they wanted that solution from us. innovation and what our consumers tell us they want will be at the absolute heart of what we do going forward.

and here's the problem. that's it. with smartphones, we've been held in a kind of a holding pattern for years with only incremental upgrades every release. once you've seen one, you've seen them all, and despite how impressive these handsets are, it's all kind of predictable. upgrades since the last. and this super device software, which they announced at the show, is, again, incredible, butjust another ecosystem they've built to bow against the likes of apple and samsung. look, here's the point i'm trying to make, ok? here are some releases from some of the big companies. and here are the notable improvements from their predecessors — camera quality, battery life, screen size. is that all we've got to look forward to any more? ok, yes, in recent times, we've had some exciting innovations, like the foldable

or the rollable smartphones. one noticeable trend is cheaper but feature—packed phones, like from xiaomi here, or going a bit more retro again, like nokia. but otherwise, it'sjust variations of the same thing, and has been since apple debuted the iphone 15 years ago. giant screen. applause. can we really call that innovation? is there a point to mwc, if all you're going to do is go and look at a phone and say, "oh, look — "that camera lens is bigger." there's innovation in the form factor, but there's all in — also innovation in the connectivity and the content. we've seen the content ecosystem basically develop over — over the last years as well, so i think with every touch point that the — that the phone essentially enables, you'll also find subsequent innovation come from that. ok, yes, innovations involving phones, but not the phone itself. look, it's no—one�*s fault, but the next killer device just has not arrived yet and so,

it's all a bit samey. so maybe it's not worth coming to mwc again. there's nothing really special out on show. needle sctratches across record. it's not just about the glitzy phone launches, is it? it's not just shiny things. there's a big mobile ecosystem and loads happening. i get that, but people care about the big phone launches. you don't get that, though, do you? what they may upgrade to next — that's what matters here to people. is that what matters?! of course it is! there's loads going on! you know, there's loads kind of innovation, small players, big players. i'll show you something so intense. cheer up! so, what are these companies working on in 2022? sg bartenders, robot dogs, vr roller—coasters and, you guessed it, the metaverse! and as i finally get back to an in—person event, i'm being made very aware that companies are eager for me to embrace the virtual world. but here's one device that is 100% metaverse—proof. as screens get bigger and bigger, what happens if you make a phone with no screen at all?

no buttons, no screen, purely voice—controlled. put it on and sayonara, social media. these are titan from mymanu. they are lig—enable earbuds with a phone's functionality, and they can even translate other languages in almost real—time whilst not needing to connect to a phone like most other devices. why don't you tell me an interesting fact about yourself? speaks french. so, you're french. you're from the sunny coast and you live in manchester, where it rains all the time. exactly. that's cool. that is awesome, that is awesome — i love that. and whilst one company is ditching the screen, the astro slide 56 is adding even more to it. a regular rectangular phone — where is the innovation? watch this.

boom! it's a mechanical keyboard on a phone! and while i may enjoy a keyboard on a phone, it doesn't exactly scream rock star. but this does. zurich—based start—up mictic have developed what they are calling audio—augmented reality. these wristbands connect to a smartphone app and the sensors translate your motions into music. when you think of a cello, here's the neck of the cello and then my right hand is the bow hand, so essentially, it would be like... plays cello. so it's really precise, it's really responsive, it's really dynamic, based on how you are playing. that's all very cultured but, let's be honest, nobody plays the air cello. i'll throw a beat behind it. now, i can start really rocking out. plays electric guitar.

now, if i do this... it starts looping... beep! ..and again, i can solo over it. but the final word has to go to japanese company toraru, who have found a truly novel way of transporting people to the other side of the world. this is a live video link to japan. someone is standing there with a tablet and you have these buttons along the bottom and all you do if you want to turn around, you just press your button... look at that! you can even push buttons to pick things up or even pay for goods. but some parts do feel a bit dehumanising. and i feel super guilty about this — is this button here. and i don't know why, but you can go boop! and they jump! that was a big jump!

the buttons that make other humans jump should just not exist. osman and omar, ola! it sounds like some companies are breaking new ground there, so has the visit to the show been worth it? for me? no, it hasn't, because it's the same as every other mwc that i've been to — a new smartphone with a couple of improvements from the last one. see, that's - absolutely not true! i've been trying to tell omar all along it's notjust- about these devices, _ it's about the wider ecosystem. we've seen the metaverse - and the advance in connectivity needed. that conversation is happening. 56 low latency, things that are around the phone — - that's where the - innovation will happen. but there's nothing to see. there is no metaverse as yet — that's the point. yeah, it — because it needs these conferences like this| to sit down, get it done, advances connectivity. . it's not just about that. but the reason people care about these conferences is because of the smartphones, the main devices, not secondary things, you know? it's all about the smartphones. but, omar, you're wearing

a smartwatch and so am i so, clearly, people do care about these things. chuckles. 0k, yeah, i mean... see, ithink, lara, - i think you have nailed it. that has proven, you know... thank you! the phones — that's all right — the phones may change, - but these things that exist around them, things thati connect to the phone, you're seeing loads i of those innovations. there's loads of them. loads of great, i new cool things. i'mjust saying... that's where things will move forward. i this will be the same mwc this year as it is going to be next year and the year after. eh! how do you know? ok, you're like an old married couple! he's such a pessimist! i'm going to leave you to keep battling this out. you're such a pessimist! we've got the optimist and the pessimist here. osman and omar, thank you. and that's it for the short—cut. the full—length programme can be found on iplayer. and, as ever, you can keep up with the teams throughout the week on social media. find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching. bye— bye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and luxmy gopal. our headlines today: johnson meets zelensky in kyiv — in a surprise visit the prime minister promises armoured vehicles and new missiles in a "show of solidarity" with ukraine. the ukrainians have shown the courage of a lion and you, volodymyr, have given the roar of that lion. taxing times for the chancellor — rishi sunak demands an investigation into who leaked details about his wife's finances. france goes to the polls in their presidential election as macron faces a challenge from far—right candidate marine le pen. a fairytale finish to his career — amateurjockey, sam waley—cohen, wins the grand national on 50—1 outsider noble yeats — in his last competitive race. a chilly start to the day

with a widespread frost, some sunshine in the forecast but tomorrow, turning unsettled. it's sunday, april 10th. our main story. borisjohnson has set out a new package of military and financial assistance for ukraine, after meeting president zelensky in the capital, kyiv. the prime minister is the first leader of a g7 country to travel to the ukrainian capital for talks since the start of the russian invasion. during the visit, he promised 120 armoured vehicles — as well as new anti—ship missile systems. mark lowen has this report from kyiv. how are you? there's little time for niceties when you're a leader at war. volodymyr zelensky welcomed borisjohnson to kyiv as ukraine battling russian aggression pleads for more western help. you are strong. the strength of the underdog.

ukraine's president battling for his country's survival, welcoming and pleading with the outside world to help fight russian aggression. the unannounced talks came as britain pledged 120 armoured vehicles and new anti—ship missile systems. the two men were keen to suggest ukraine is on the front foot — a walkabout in kyiv inconceivable a fortnight ago. borisjohnson, basking in praise for his support from the public and the president. translation: we have to exert pressure in the form _ of sanctions, and i'm grateful to the united kingdom that continues and intensifies the sanctions and also provides significant support to ukraine by reinforcing our defence capacities. the other democratic western countries should follow the example of the united kingdom. from borisjohnson arriving as horrors are unearthed from neighbouring towns, warm words for a leader

he called a lion. i thank you for what you've been able to do. i think your leadership has been extraordinary and i think in what putin has done in places like bucha and in irpin, in his war crimes have permanently polluted his reputation and the reputation of his government. borisjohnson was long keen to come here to kyiv, but was waiting for the security situation to stabilise following the withdrawal of russian troops from the area. and while this city has calmed, the renewed russian offensive in the east has made ukraine push even harderfor more military aid. russian tanks pushed on as a governor in the east urged civilians to flee immediately, warning of troops massing nearby. bucha near kyiv, now free of russian troops,

shows what might lie in store elsewhere — 360 people are said to have died here and ukraine, the david against the goliath, is still crying out for help. mark lowen, bbc news, kyiv. we can speak now to our correspondent, danjohnson, who joins us from lviv in western ukraine. it ukraine. seems it is a little, around the capital it seems it is a little, around the capital but there are those warnings attacks in the east end and the south of the country?— attacks in the east end and the south of the country? yes, calm enouah south of the country? yes, calm enough around _ south of the country? yes, calm enough around kyiv _ south of the country? yes, calm enough around kyiv for- south of the country? yes, calm enough around kyiv for a - south of the country? yes, calm i enough around kyiv for a european leader like borisjohnson to walk around the city centre quite freely, almost remarkable change in the situation from the early days of the invasion. the sort of things that might have happened to kia. but with the russian withdrawal from there, there are more evidence of war

crimes and targeting of civilians in those areas to the north of kyiv and the expectation that the russian military offensive will intensify in the east. there is a new military command centre for the russian forces in ukraine and we have seen extra shelling in the east of the country. that is why people have been warned by ukrainian officials that they should evacuate immediately, if they can. there were attempts to establish humanitarian corridors, safe routes to get out of cities like mariupol, places in the donbas. whether that is safe and possible, how much risk that it is a dilemma for people. it is a risk whether to take the decision to get on the move and then where to go? but president zelensky is prepared for a battle in the east of the country and that is why he has welcomed the extra military support from the uk and other european nations as well. but he said that funding and military aid, those

weapons, a supply needs to continue if that defence is to be successful. for now, thank you. the chancellor rishi sunak, is calling for an inquiry to find out who leaked details about his wife 5 tax arrangements. akshata murty has said she will pay uk taxes on her overseas income, after a row about her residential status — as millions of people face a cost of living crisis. our political correspondent david wallace lockhart has more. david, what's the latest? this story continues to have developments emerging over the past few days, what is the latest? that’s few days, what is the latest? that's riaht, few days, what is the latest? that's riuht, it few days, what is the latest? that's right. it was — few days, what is the latest? that's right. it was a _ few days, what is the latest? that's right, it was a difficult _ few days, what is the latest? that's right, it was a difficult enough - right, it was a difficult enough period for the chancellor because he was facing accusations he wasn't doing enough to help people with the cost of living crisis. then the revelations emerge about his family's tax affairs, his wife akshata murty holds non—dom status if she doesn't pay tax on some

income. many opposition parties, many other voices saying they needed to be more transparency around this at a point when the chancellor was raising taxes on ordinary people across the uk. akshata murty has said she will start paying tax on that international income, but that it will not draw a line completely under this issue. because the chancellor himself is pursuing it. he has wanted a whitehall leak inquiry as to how this information about his wife's tax affairs became to be public. quite a bruising period for the chancellor, there was the revelations about him holding a usa green card at a point when he was chancellor of the exchequer, mean he was still filing tax returns in the us, although he has given that up now. and seeing that his family are moving out of downing street, although sources close to the chancellor stressing that was a

decision made before all these tax affairs came to light when it comes to non—dom status of his life. the health secretary, sajid javid, has revealed in the sunday times, he used to hold the status before he entered politics. when it comes to rishi sunak, a difficult period for him at the difficult period for his brand which his team will have to start rebranding.— brand which his team will have to start rebranding. david, thank you so much. david _ start rebranding. david, thank you so much. david wallace _ start rebranding. david, thank you so much. david wallace lockhart, | start rebranding. david, thank you i so much. david wallace lockhart, our political correspondent, bringing us the latest. french voters are heading to the polls this morning for the opening round of the presidential race. recent polls show a dramatic fall in president macron's lead over his main challenger, the far—right leader marine le pen. for more on this, we'rejoined now from paris by catherine nicholson, who's the europe affairs editor for the france 2a tv network. thank you forjoining us. first of all, what do you think is behind this shift in the opinion polls? ht

this shift in the opinion polls? 1! is very interesting. it has been a very strange campaign in france. that is partly down to the fact the war in ukraine has been so dominant and taken up so much time and headspace from the candidates, down to the voters. we have seen, emmanuel macron is pretty much where he was about a year ago in the opinion polls, he is on about 27% for this first round of the presidential election. he has moved up presidential election. he has moved up and down slightly over a year, but not much at all. what has been more stark how marine le pen has narrowed the gap between herself and emmanuel macron. your view probably remembered that marine le pen is the far right candidate in france, she was in the second round run—off against emmanuel macron five years ago in the last election and at that point there was a barrage vote across the board by everyone who isn't a far right vote against

marine le pen. at this time around things have been more split and it is one of the reasons we have seen marine le pen closing the gap on emmanuel macron. she has taken vote away from the traditional centre—right, the equivalent of the conservatives in uk. she has been benefiting from the fact we have had people who are very angry with president macron, they feel they doesn't understand a lot of people and they see marine le pen as a woman of the people and macron as quite elitist. woman of the people and macron as quite elitist-— quite elitist. there has been talk about how _ quite elitist. there has been talk about how marine _ quite elitist. there has been talk about how marine le _ quite elitist. there has been talk about how marine le pen - quite elitist. there has been talk about how marine le pen has - quite elitist. there has been talk l about how marine le pen has been trying to detoxify her image, how has that developed? yes. trying to detoxify her image, how has that developed?— trying to detoxify her image, how has that developed? yes, it has been very interesting- _ has that developed? yes, it has been very interesting. marine _ has that developed? yes, it has been very interesting. marine le _ has that developed? yes, it has been very interesting. marine le pen - has that developed? yes, it has been very interesting. marine le pen has l very interesting. marine le pen has been focusing her policy on the cost of living crisis, which is here in france, like elsewhere in europe,

about people's taxes. she does have positions which would be considered extremist by most european standards. she wants to instantly find any woman wearing a muslim headscarf, for example. have a french nationality preference, which amounts to state—sponsored discrimination, essentially. we have the election leaflets that were sent and we have emmanuel macron with quite a standard, all of us slogan. an marine le pen, stateswoman. she is smiling at the camera. when she has been out campaigning she has been softer spoken, even wearing softer colours and there has been a lot of talk that she has tried to soften her image, move away those elements of the more extremist discourse that are present in her programme, but not making them the focus. we are seeing a lot of the

younger voters who are opting for marine le pen. a lot of them will not remember herfather, marine le pen. a lot of them will not remember her father, the marine le pen. a lot of them will not remember herfather, the man marine le pen. a lot of them will not remember her father, the man who founded the party she now runs. he was seen as an impossible candidate for anybody in france to vote for. she has been moving herself away from her party's historic image and it looks like, as we can see from the predictions, it has succeeded. it looks like it will be marine le pen from the far right, against emmanuel macron the centrist, more centre—right candidate going into the second round in two weeks, but we will not know until later today. given marine le pen has seemingly been able to capitalise on the fees around the cost of living crisis and the state of the economy, do you think macron has dropped the ball by not focusing on those things that matter to ordinary people? he has exressed matter to ordinary people? he has exuressed he _ matter to ordinary people? he has expressed he regrets _ matter to ordinary people? he has expressed he regrets entering - matter to ordinary people? he hasj expressed he regrets entering into the campaign late. he declared at

the campaign late. he declared at the very last moment that he was going to be a candidate at all, even though we knew that it was going to be the case. he has regretted he has not been out there on the ground, like marine le pen has in the small towns and villages all over france and speaking to people about these issues that are affecting their daily lives. a lot of people see him as being distant, a bit too king —like, a bit too elitist. but there is a big democratic front who does support him saying he has done well on the economy overall. they point out the fact that when he came to office, unemployment was 10% and he has got it down to just over 7%. but those messages haven't been piercing through. emmanuel macron has been in ukraine, focusing a lot on foreign policy has refused to any of the

other 11 candidates. he has not been getting his message out there, that is for sure. . ., ~ is for sure. catherine, thank you, very good — is for sure. catherine, thank you, very good to _ is for sure. catherine, thank you, very good to get _ is for sure. catherine, thank you, very good to get those _ is for sure. catherine, thank you, very good to get those views - is for sure. catherine, thank you, very good to get those views out| very good to get those views out there. p&o ferries says it won't resume services on the dover—to—calais route before good friday at the earliest, meaning there could be several more days of disruption. lorry drivers say goods they are carrying are going down in price because they're being forced to sit in long queues at dover port and perishable products are going to waste. here's our business correspondent katie prescott. dover this weekend. one giant lorry park as the easter getaway continues. and p&o ferries' routes are suspended. for those carrying goods with a short shelf life, sitting and waiting in this queue means products going off. this logistics boss says he's losing up to £800 a day.

if you then have a delay quite easily now of 2a hours into that, not only have they got the logistical issues, but you've also got the quality and the sale value of that product down the line, but it's effectively devaluing by every hour it's delayed. delays of 20 to 25 hours are frustrating drivers. you would sit for maybe two or three hours, and then you would get moved for 100 yards and then you're sitting for 40 minutes. you move 100 feet. ludicrous. there's no services. drivers having to go to the toilet as well, side of the road. yesterday midday, i stopped at 57 km from dover, for dover, sorry, - and i wait 26 hours. been hours, hours and hours in the traffic. really bad. where have you come from? portsmouth, beliveve it or not. we travelled down and yeah, hopefully we'll catch a train. if not, we're going

to miss the race. the group that represents businesses which store and move chilled food says all this is stifling trade. if you're operating a perishable supply chain, then you absolutely need to be able to move the goods through quickly. the evidence now that there are significant delays means business will stop trying to send goods into the uk and trying to send goods out, because you can't carry the risk of your load being lost and losing tens of thousands of pounds worth of value. in response, the department for transport said the traffic management measures are under regular review, but gave no indication that there would be a change made for those transporting perishable items. in a statement, they said: and as this disruption continues, there are fears that these delays

are farming the flames of driver shortages in an already stretched industry. katie prescott, bbc news. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. you do have some positive news for us? yes, i have some positive news for the easter weekend. we will look at that in just a second. actually, similar to the clouds we have in the background. the layers of serious cloud, and that is a hint of a weather front approaching. it does indicate today it will be dry but tomorrow we are expecting some rain. on the satellite picture you can see these wisps of cloud approaching in advance of the weather front which is out in the atlantic. that will be moving over us tomorrow. most of the

rain was shoot northwards and we will get the bits and pieces towards the south. this is what it looks like towards most of the uk. another land like towards most of the uk. another [and we could see a little bit of rain today butjust bits and spots. today we will call dry and bright for most of us, around 13 degrees in the south. 8 degrees or so in scotland. it is quite a slow—moving weather front, scotland. it is quite a slow—moving weatherfront, the scotland. it is quite a slow—moving weather front, the winds are blowing from south to north, so not much of a progression eastwards. certainly not really going to reach us tonight. the southerly winds will keep things mild and the cloud in the sky, temperatures will not drop any lower than two or three degrees in many major towns and cities. the weather front will be brushing us tomorrow and there will be pockets of rain spreading in from the south. first devon and cornwall in the morning and then wales. reading and swansea, aberystwyth, merseyside and manchester and then reaching south—western parts of scotland by the middle of the afternoon. many

areas as the rain altogether, so not everybody will get rain for sure. on tuesday, with this weather system in the atlantic it is scooping up milder airfrom the south the atlantic it is scooping up milder air from the south which is spreading across the uk. a lot of cloud around on tuesday, rain bearing clouds for sure, particularly across northern areas. look at how the show was developed in the afternoon and this is what we call unstable air so clouds bubbling up call unstable air so clouds bubbling up and there could be summed down because, may be a crack of thunder as well. but in between, lots of sunny spells around, too. up to 18, 19 degrees in the south. chilly in the north. this is the outlook for the north. this is the outlook for the week ahead so we have the unsettled start to the week with the weather front approaching. warms up nice and gently to around 17, 18 degrees in the south, mid teens in the north and friday also mid teens. i am sticking my neck out a bit for the easter weekend. find pressure builds and that generally means settled weather. looking at the

weather map, i am thinking this wind around this area of high pressure could be parky. overall, we are going to call it a dry weekend, easter weekend with some sunshine. can we hold you to that? you said you were sticking your neck out, even that with your easter tree behind you and blue skies, you have put your neck the line. i have, haven't i? there is no going back now. treading on eggshells. very good. ifeel like we have boxed you in, so sorry. you are now responsible. it was an amateurjockey that pulled off the ride of his life yesterday, winning the world's most famous race. sam waley—cohen galloped home to grand national glory at aintree, on board the horse noble yeats. the rider only announced his retirement two days

before the big race. let's take a look at the moment he signed off, in style. noble yeats who heads down towards the last in the national. with any second now, delta work back in fourth place. and ridden along now is fiddler on the roof. any second now and noble yeats [and over the last in the national. noble yeats on the far side for sam waley—cohen. any second now for mark walsh. the two of them race towards the elbow. delta work and santini for the places as they race inside the final 150 yards. noble yeats, sam waley—cohen and his last ride trying to repel any second now. noble yeats on the run to the line for the waley—coens. any second now, delta work and santini. but up towards the line, what a way to go out! sam waley—cohen and noble yeats for emmett mullins won the national.

what a way to go out indeed! i am worn out listening to that. we're joined now by broadcaster gina bryce who was taking it all in with the crowds yesterday. it is an incredible story, the grand national throws up these incredible stories. 12 months ago we had rachel blackmore becoming the first female winner. this winner, it was a horse that came in at 50—1. we cannot discount outsiders in the national. but sam waley—cohen, this is a hobby, turned up and ridden in the grand national and he has won it. not to say he is not an experienced jockey, he has been at this for 15 years, writing as an amateur. he is a man that runs a hugely successful

business, employs 4000 people, he owns a chain of dental practices in five different countries, he is a busy man. he is at the peak of his physical fitness and he busy man. he is at the peak of his physicalfitness and he is pitching up physicalfitness and he is pitching up and winning a grand national. he has won big races before, he does get to ride some lovely horses for his father, a big owner in this book, robert waley cohen. but this is a dream come true, he has spent his whole life dreaming of success in this. he announced today prior to the grand national, he would retire and hang up his saddle after the race. it doesn't get much better than that. �* . race. it doesn't get much better than that-— race. it doesn't get much better than that. �* ., ., ., than that. but that wind not without its controversy. _ than that. but that wind not without its controversy. after _ than that. but that wind not without its controversy. after the _ than that. but that wind not without its controversy. after the race, - its controversy. after the race, suspension and a fine, explained that for us?— that for us? yes, so in the final -hases that for us? yes, so in the final phases of _ that for us? yes, so in the final phases of the — that for us? yes, so in the final phases of the race _ that for us? yes, so in the final phases of the race the - that for us? yes, so in the final phases of the race the blood i that for us? yes, so in the final. phases of the race the blood was that for us? yes, so in the final - phases of the race the blood was up and he was in a tight finish with a horse called any second now. he was using his stick, a crush whip,

changes have been made to ensure the safety and the fact that the horses cannot feel it in the finish and it is something that has been modified in recent years. jockeys are only allowed to hit the horse eight times in the closing stages. he used the weapon over the permitted level and in the incorrect place in the closing stages. these are safety measures that have been brought in, so he was given an nine—day ban and fined £400. he is not going to be riding after the grand national, so in a way it is irrelevant in this case. but if the rules are broken, the stewards will issue those fines, which is a positive. this the stewards will issue those fines, which is a positive.— which is a positive. this race, not without controversy _ which is a positive. this race, not without controversy for _ which is a positive. this race, not without controversy for other - without controversy for other reasons as well. we without controversy for other reasons as well.— without controversy for other reasons as well. we had some fatalities? _ reasons as well. we had some fatalities? yes, _ reasons as well. we had some fatalities? yes, horse - reasons as well. we had some fatalities? yes, horse welfare| reasons as well. we had some . fatalities? yes, horse welfare and safety is always at the forefront of everyone's mines in a race like the grand national. and in the sport as a whole. but you cannot get away

from the fact it is a dangerous sport, there are risks involved in the sport and unfortunately, trainer paul nolan lost his horse, discorama, an injury suffered on the flat. devastated for all, and a sad time for anyone connected with that course. it is worth saying the fences were modified in 2013 and they are largely thought to be safe as they have ever been and are safe as they have ever been and are safe as they have ever been and are safe as they possibly can be in the sphere of horse racing, but it is a real shame and very sad when they do lose a horse in this manner. our thoughts are very much with connections of discorama. the first time in two — connections of discorama. the first time in two years — connections of discorama. the first time in two years people _ connections of discorama. the first time in two years people have - connections of discorama. the first | time in two years people have been able to be there in person. what was it like to have that crowd the? we heard some of the atmosphere and

some of the noise, but to be there must be incredible after two years having to watch it at home? it really was a strange feeling to witness rachel blackmore's win last year, but it was an empty grandstand. this is the grand national, it is called the people's race for a reason. everybody watches it and has a flutter, but it is the people's race because the people of liverpool make it. it is a riot of colour, tension and people love these three days of racing at liverpool. the grand national is part of the dna of our sporting carriages and culture. it is great to see the people turning out, dresses, bright colours and fascinated. the guys getting involved as well. i have nothing but admiration for it wasn't warm there it has to be said, but everyone was getting stuck in and having a great time and 50—1, probably not a lot of people around the racecourse who had

backed this winner. but you could not help to be swept up in the enthusiasm of the win. emma mullins, he is an irish trainer, only 32 years of age and only has about 30 horses and is a small stable. for him, it was a brilliant success. a heart—warming story in liverpool, 30,000 people to witness it, which is how it should be.— is how it should be. incredible and so nice people _ is how it should be. incredible and so nice people can _ is how it should be. incredible and so nice people can be _ is how it should be. incredible and so nice people can be back- is how it should be. incredible and so nice people can be back to - is how it should be. incredible and so nice people can be back to help with the atmosphere. thank you for sharing your thoughts. its 40 years since the start of the falklands war, and veterans who were based at raf waddington in lincolnshire have been remembering their role in the conflict. vulcan planes which were about to be retired were enlisted for a special mission atjust two weeks' notice, for a long bombing mission. gemma dawson reports. stripped back and ready to be restored, but 40 years ago, this cold war aircraft was months from being scrapped when the falklands war

brought a new challenge. archive: at 3 am, the vulcan bombers saw their target clearly _ defined below them on radar and released their loads. the airport buildings- were skeletons blown apart by the british bombardment. a vulcan from raf waddington completed the first raid, attacking the runway at port stanley to stop it being used by argentinejets. my crew did the first and the last bombing raids down on port stanley. i'd only ever seen world war ii movies. i'd never done any bombing like this before or been fired at. as we got closer and closer and closer, the bombs started to fall off and i was able, on a little gauge i had in front of me, to see when the last bomb had gone, and ijust had full power on and drew the aircraft into a hard climbing turn to get the hell out of there. the raids had been planned back in lincolnshire with only a couple of weeks notice. we had several problems, really. one was, where was the falklands?

we never even heard of the falklands. we thought it might be somewhere near the faroes at the time. b — how on earth do we get there? navigation wise and fuel wise. and when we get there, what do we drop? nobody at waddington had ever dropped a 1,0001b bomb- from the vulcan, and nobody had done any air to air refuelling. _ it was a huge role change. they used an air base at ascension island as a staging post, using tanker planes to complete a complicated mid—air refuelling plan filled with jeopardy. there was a crew of six in these really cramped conditions, and the raid was an 8,000 mile round trip which took almost 16 hours to complete. archive: the ministry of defence i have announced that british aircraft have taken action . against the airstrip. how did you feel when you heard that broadcast? relieved, the fact it's actually worked. i was also very pleased that the way i planned the attack had worked out and nobody had got themselves killed. i i think it was a phenomenal achievement, a world beating achievement back then and probably will still be today, to be frank.

what the crews achieved, what the ground crews achieved to get the aircraft airborne and what the wider station achieved to deploy those aircraft forward and conduct that mission was phenomenal. most of the vulcans retired from raf service shortly after the falklands war, but at raf waddington, restoration work is now underway on the aircraft that took part in that first bombing raid on port stanley. we are removing all the layers of paint that it's had over the many years, predominantly so we can have a look at the surface underneath and understand what structural work is needed. we're going to repaint it in its original black buck colours so we can restore it to its former glory. once complete, it's hoped this vulcan will be back on display here. remembering the past while inspiring future generations. gemma dawson, bbc news. we've heard this morning that the chancellor is demanding a whitehall inquiry to find out who leaked details about his wife's tax arrangements.

akshata murty has said she will now pay uk taxes on her overseas income, after it was revealed that she had non—domicile status — meaning she wasn't paying tax on earnings from abroad. anna isaac is economics editor at the independent and broke the story. she joins us with katy balls, deputy political editor at the spectator. good morning to both of you and thank you forjoining us. anna, starting with you, no suggestion of any wrongdoing but in terms of how this looks, the optics of it, it must be so damaging to the chancellor? ! must be so damaging to the chancellor?— must be so damaging to the chancellor? i think it certainly comes at _ chancellor? i think it certainly comes at a — chancellor? i think it certainly comes at a time _ chancellor? i think it certainly comes at a time when - chancellor? i think it certainly comes at a time when up - chancellor? i think it certainly comes at a time when up and| chancellor? i think it certainly - comes at a time when up and down the nation, _ comes at a time when up and down the nation, people are very concerned about— nation, people are very concerned about their— nation, people are very concerned about their finances and are concerned about the amount of tax they have — concerned about the amount of tax they have to pay stop and i think they have to pay stop and i think the issue — they have to pay stop and i think the issue is_ they have to pay stop and i think the issue is the contradiction

this is information they did not know and in many instances they feel they ought to have known and that included people as i reported within the treasury itself who were working on tax policy. but the issue of a leak inquiry is i think at risk of detracting from the main point here which is being seen to be fair. it's interesting, but katie, we have had this u—turn that the wife of the chancellor says she will start paying tax on her overseas income so a year there but at the same time, will not give up that non—domicile status so where does all of that leave us? ! status so where does all of that leave us? ~ �* , , leave us? i think it's interesting because we _ leave us? i think it's interesting because we are _ leave us? i think it's interesting because we are talking - leave us? i think it's interesting because we are talking about i leave us? i think it's interesting - because we are talking about these tax stories— because we are talking about these tax stories and _ because we are talking about these tax stories and they _ because we are talking about these tax stories and they are _ because we are talking about these l tax stories and they are complicated but i think— tax stories and they are complicated but i think on— tax stories and they are complicated but i think on the _ tax stories and they are complicated but i think on the tory— tax stories and they are complicated but i think on the tory side, - tax stories and they are complicated but i think on the tory side, i- but i think on the tory side, i think— but i think on the tory side, i think there _ but i think on the tory side, i think there is _ but i think on the tory side, i think there is exasperation . but i think on the tory side, i. think there is exasperation that rishi _ think there is exasperation that rishi sunak— think there is exasperation that rishi sunak and _ think there is exasperation that rishi sunak and his _ think there is exasperation that rishi sunak and his wife - think there is exasperation that rishi sunak and his wife did - think there is exasperation thatj rishi sunak and his wife did not make _ rishi sunak and his wife did not make that — rishi sunak and his wife did not make that decision _ rishi sunak and his wife did not make that decision to _ rishi sunak and his wife did noti make that decision to ultimately rishi sunak and his wife did not - make that decision to ultimately for her to— make that decision to ultimately for her to agree — make that decision to ultimately for her to agree to— make that decision to ultimately for her to agree to pay— make that decision to ultimately for her to agree to pay tax _ make that decision to ultimately for her to agree to pay tax on _ make that decision to ultimately for her to agree to pay tax on foreign . her to agree to pay tax on foreign earnings — her to agree to pay tax on foreign earnings uk — her to agree to pay tax on foreign earnings uk tax _ her to agree to pay tax on foreign earnings uk tax earlier— her to agree to pay tax on foreign earnings uk tax earlier on - her to agree to pay tax on foreign earnings uk tax earlier on and - earnings uk tax earlier on and instead —

little bit of smoke and fire. a retirement. in the end, not a surprise winner, charles leclerc, who started in pole position. next day or mercedes, not entirely happy with the car, so much to get into. charles leclerc, dominant again — winning his second race of the season to extend his championship lead to sa points. bbc 5 live�*s fi presenter, jennie gow was watching all this unfold. starting with the british drivers, third, fourth, fifth, george russell, the second time he's made it to the podium so where are you out with mercedes? they will not be happy, lewis hamilton not happy with the car neither is george russell but george russell second in the drivers championship and they seem to be in contention even if it is taking the red bull retirements to get there? taking the red bull retirements to net there? , , , ., . ~ get there? definitely trying to make ha while get there? definitely trying to make hay while the _ get there? definitely trying to make hay while the sun _ get there? definitely trying to make hay while the sun shines _ get there? definitely trying to make hay while the sun shines and - get there? definitely trying to make hay while the sun shines and they i hay while the sun shines and they see this opportunity to try and score points when the likes of red

bull cannot and it is quite staggering to think that george russell in his first year with mercedes is second in the championship. mercedes are second in the constructors championship, even though they have a car that they have said is difficult to drive and they certainly will find more performance later on this season. so it's quite incredible to think of the potential that mercedes have. george russell third today, lewis hamilton fourth and helped as you say by the retirement, max verstappen again, two out of three races, so what exactly happened? strong words from max verstappen in the last hour so why did he retire and how have red bull explain that? i think the team is trying to get to the bottom of it precisely. the professor who helps to run the team has been quoted by one of the other tv channels are saying that they think there was a fuel issue and may be the fuel tank actually broke. they will need to get the car back

to milton keynes and a forensic analysis on it but we know that max verstappen was in there and he complained of smelling something funny which is never a good sign when you are a formula i driver, hurtling your car around a 200 miles an hour but huge disappointment. they know the red bull is a very fast car but as you say, reliability is a real problem for them. max verstappen has lost a possible 36 points because of failing to finish a race. . ., . , points because of failing to finish a race. ., ., ., , ., ., “ points because of failing to finish a race. . ., . , ., ., ~ ~ a race. extraordinary, looking 46 oints a race. extraordinary, looking 46 points behind — a race. extraordinary, looking 46 points behind charles _ a race. extraordinary, looking 46 points behind charles leclerc. i a race. extraordinary, looking 46| points behind charles leclerc. no doubt about the quality of charles leclerc as a driver but how impressed have you been, clearly helped by ferrari finding a car that can do the magic but an imperious performance from him on the track? i think he said it was the easiest win of his formula i career. he does not have many, i think that was number fourin have many, i think that was number four in formula i but he is slowly becoming a very mature, wise and exciting driver and i think the

italian fans are absolutely mad keen on him to win this championship this year. the bells will be ringing out, they plant a flag at the factory for every wind they get so that's another flag that they will be celebrating and there is a real momentum now and charles leclerc is a very likeable young man. he has had a lot of misfortune on his way to formula i, losing his father and his close friend and godfather in formula i as well. so i think there's a lot of well for him to do well this season and he seems to be taking that and running with it! certainly is, 20 races to go and still so many stories to play out. we will leave it there for now but thank you. when the premier league fixtures were released last summer — many people wondered if today's game between manchester city and liverpool would end up deciding who wins the title. that could well prove to be the case — when both sides meet this afternoon, with cityjust one point clear of liverpool at the top of the table

going into the game. joe lynskey looks ahead to the most anticipated game of the season. the two best teams in england, perhaps the two best teams in the world. the premier league's modern rivalry is one built on quality, and they're both relentless. this time, city hosts liverpool with eight games to go and one point between them. one of them's won the league the last four seasons. and they've pushed each other on. sometimes 97 points hasn't been enough to win it. and for both these great managers, this has been the toughest match. the last five years had been the biggest opening. it's been an incredible and marvellous, you know, contender. jurgen have been as a manager, the bigger rival i ever had in my career. yeah, will be an incredible test. we will push each other to an incredible point tallies, madness. i would have never thought that these kind of things are possible and especially not in this league. so the consistency both teams showed

in that period is absolutely crazy. this season, it's got close late on. injanuary, city led by 14 points. commentator: and it is 12 i premier league wins in a row for manchester city. but then had slip ups — liverpooljust kept winning to now close the gap and with one more win, today they'd go out in front. we were 14 points behind city and now we've clawed that gap back to one point and i think we should all be really proud of how far they've come this season, winning and getting three points at the etihad. don't think it would get much better than that. liverpool have just kept on winning, and that's why that gap is shortened tojust one point because they've been so relentless. and it just shows that the standards of these two teams and how they're they're really pushing each other towards greatness. i think they are the two best teams in the world without doubt, and it's going to be fascinating to see how it plays out. they've been so dominant, but so close. in four years of football and 144 games, there's one point between them. this year, one will lift the trophy

with the fans back in to see it. it means so much to both of them in football's great modern rivalry. joe lynskey, bbc news. huge game later. for 30 pm kick—off. america's scottie sheffler is the man to catch as the masters heads towards a thrilling climax. the world number one holds a three—shot lead heading into the final round. he hit four birdies on his front nine before four bogeys in the second half of the round — gave the chasing pack some hope. australia's cameron smith is his closest rival — while ireland's shane lowry is seven shots behind sheffler. it's a lot more fun being able to sit in here and talk to you guys as opposed to being swept off and go to the range in 30th place. for me, this is more fun. a lot of the starts i've had in major

championships, for me, this is a good time. today was a lot of fun and hopefully tomorrow will be the same. in rugby, england head coach simon middleton said his players found it "tough to take" watching abby dow suffer a serious leg injury in their six nations win against wales. the full—back cried out in pain as she went down in an awkward tackle and play was stopped for more than 15 minutes as she received medical attention. england did go on to score ten tries overall, with wingerjess breach marking her return from injury with two of them, in front of a record crowd. later today scotland play france, while ireland host italy. st helens are through to the challenge cup semi—finals after a dominant win over catalans dragons. they scored six tries altogether — joe batchelor rounding things off for his side. this was a rematch of super league's grand final — st helens wining again, this time by 36 points to 20 to make the semi—finals. huddersfield giants are also through after beating hull fc 24—16.

thank you. the thing that stands out for me is the grand national when by sam waley cohen, he won the grand national but he also has a successive massive dental industry and is also royal matchmaker for catherine and william. some of us can barely cobble together one career. he can barely cobble together one career. . . . can barely cobble together one career. . , , . , . career. he wears multiple hats, and he is only 31- _ career. he wears multiple hats, and he is only 31. what _ career. he wears multiple hats, and he is only 31. what is _ career. he wears multiple hats, and he is only 31. what is he _ career. he wears multiple hats, and he is only 31. what is he going - career. he wears multiple hats, and he is only 31. what is he going to i he is only 31. what is he going to go and do next?— go and do next? clearly, relationship _ go and do next? clearly, relationship guidance - go and do next? clearly, relationship guidance is l go and do next? clearly, | relationship guidance is a go and do next? clearly, - relationship guidance is a tick box. creating world peace. entrepreneur, jockey winning multiple races. sham i jockey winning multiple races. am i riaht in jockey winning multiple races. am i right in saying _ jockey winning multiple races. am i right in saying his _ jockey winning multiple races. am i right in saying his father only bought— right in saying his father only bought the horse two months before he wrote _ bought the horse two months before he wrote it? gn bought the horse two months before he wrote it? . bought the horse two months before he wrote it?— he wrote it? on a serious side, he has talked — he wrote it? on a serious side, he has talked about _ he wrote it? on a serious side, he has talked about losing _ he wrote it? on a serious side, he has talked about losing his - he wrote it? on a serious side, he | has talked about losing his brother who died several years ago now. and how on a day like that when suddenly you have achieved one of your biggest dreams, the biggest race you possibly can in your career, it reminds you of the people that are

already introducing lots of hazy skies to parts of northern ireland, wales, western scotland. i think the best of the sunshine today will be along the south coast, east anglia but even here, clouds will be bubbling up in the afternoon. still on the chilly side, not as warm as perhaps we would like it to become a degrees in aberdeen, 11 or 12 in northern england, perhaps as high as 13 in the south but one thing tonight as it will not be as cold as last night. we have more cloud, this weather front approaching and the wind blowing from the south. last night it was well below freezing in many areas, these are the temperatures first thing on monday. three degrees in edinburgh, 6 degrees in london, perhaps in the highlands sam frost. the weather map from monday so is a large area of low pressure, slow—moving, just nudging eastwards. it is pushing pockets of rain which are brushing

western parts of the uk, i don't think it will rain for very long but when the rain arrives it be quite sharp and heavy for a time. northern, eastern and southern areas very best tomorrow, temperatures rising because we have a current of milder airfrom rising because we have a current of milder air from the southern climes. it means it will get milder almost everywhere but it also means there will be more rain bearing clouds and on tuesday i think the more persistent rain will be across scotland and northern england, perhaps northern ireland and in the south you see pockets of heavy showers developing. 19 quite possible in east anglia and the south—east, still chilly with the cloud and rain across scotland. let's look at the summary. monday and tuesday, summarising the more unsettled weather, gentle climb in the temperatures, the end of the week looking quite promising. as we head into the easter weekend, high pressure going to build, could be a

little on the chilly side with winds blowing around the high pressure but i am relatively confident there will be plenty of dry weather around so at this stage, we will not call it gloriously sunny or born but i think predominantly dry and for sure there should be some sunshine, there are almost always is, even when it is raining quite a lot! back to you. have a great weekend. you're saying the sun might be behind the rain chance? somewhere. ithink the sun might be behind the rain chance? somewhere. i think you are just hedging your bets. we did ask you to go out on a limb. but that is what we are paid for at the end of the day! how much certainty could you have, how much time do you need before you are certain? by by tuesday, we should be pretty confident. we are confident now! so i can tell you whether you are right on tuesday? yes, yes! let the mac

lets leave it at that. thank you so much. take care. an optimistic look at the forecast there for us. all the details on tuesday and we can tell you then if he was right. it is 8:53am. baby banks around the uk help many families in their time of need — and now they're supporting ukrainian refugee families. one bank in surrey has helped a mother and toddler find essential supplies, but also a very special doll. we can speak now to nicola dawes who runs the stripey stork baby bank. good morning to you, so lovely to have you with us. talk to me about the work that you are doing because you are already involved in helping families but particularly now, given everything we have seen in ukraine, you are keeping a close eye on that and able to help one family already? that is right, the baby bank, what we do is we take in all of the fantastic good condition equipment

that families have outgrown, cots, prams, close, toys and we rehome them to families who need a helping hand. we have been doing that for many years and it was important to us that that service would extend to families arriving from ukraine. we have been preparing and making sure we are well stocked with all of the items needed. we have made it clear our service was available to those families. it was wonderful when a localfamily who were families. it was wonderful when a local family who were going to be hosting a mother and daughter who arrived from ukraine got in touch with us and asked if we could help. we are looking at some of the pictures of the operation and it strikes me as a huge logistical challenge. talk me through how you pull all of this together and some of the help you get from the community?— of the help you get from the community? of the help you get from the communi ? . �*, , . community? that's right, it is a real community _ community? that's right, it is a real community effort, - community? that's right, it is a real community effort, you i community? that's right, it is a real community effort, you hit i community? that's right, it is a i real community effort, you hit the nail on the head. we have a fantastic team of volunteers who take in donations from the community, localfamilies and

community, local families and businesses community, localfamilies and businesses support us, they bring all the brilliant items to us and we make sure everything is clean and safe and well presented. we want the families to feel like they are receiving a gift and not a hand—out and we make sure the shelves are stocked so when requests for help come in for a whole range of circumstances the stock is ready to go and reallyjust being a helping hand, helping people out at a time when it is difficult. actually reusing these valuable and useful items that should get a second life. i think it's fair to say when people use them they can return them to you and they have another life all over again but talk to me about how many ukrainian families you expect to be able to help because it strikes me the demand for what you do will only grow? the demand for what you do will only crow? ., . ., . ,., . grow? the information we have so far is in surrey. — grow? the information we have so far is in surrey, there _ grow? the information we have so far is in surrey, there are _ grow? the information we have so far is in surrey, there are over— grow? the information we have so far is in surrey, there are over 700 i is in surrey, there are over 700 families who have been matched and i know some of them are waiting for visas to be approved but we know thatis visas to be approved but we know that is the level. obviously because

we know 90% of those people arriving are women with children, obviously the sort of service we provide is going to be important because they are only coming with a suitcase are very limited belongings so those big items that are essential for small children like cots and prams and high chairs, they are the things that will be left behind, toys and clothes. and we can be there to help fill that gap. tell clothes. and we can be there to help fill that gap-— fill that gap. tell me about tatiana and her daughter _ fill that gap. tell me about tatiana and her daughter veronica, - fill that gap. tell me about tatiana and her daughter veronica, how i fill that gap. tell me about tatiana | and her daughter veronica, how did you come to meet them. i am sure you will get onto this but there is a significance of a very special doll as well, isn't there?— significance of a very special doll as well, isn't there? that's right. our service _ as well, isn't there? that's right. our service is _ as well, isn't there? that's right. our service is well _ as well, isn't there? that's right. our service is well known - as well, isn't there? that's right. our service is well known in i as well, isn't there? that's right. our service is well known in the i our service is well known in the local area and it is fantastic sponsor family reached out to us and askedif sponsor family reached out to us and asked if we could help. they knew a lady with a two—year—old daughter was arriving and they put a list together of the things they thought she would need. we were also able to make some suggestions as to what would be useful and we got some items ready for them. when they arrived at the warehouse to collect

them, they had brought the family so it was fantastic to meet little veronica and tatiana. we always try and match the referrals and pack to order. we want to know if the children like lego or peppa pig, princesses, so matching the right items with the right child and they had toys available for veronica to have a look at and a moment of absolutejoy when her and her have a look at and a moment of absolute joy when her and her mother spotted a doll, they both got very excited, it was exactly the same as one that they left behind and how wonderful to be able to pass that across to her and she could see she was delighted! we across to her and she could see she was delighted!— across to her and she could see she was delighted! we have been looking at ictures was delighted! we have been looking at pictures and _ was delighted! we have been looking at pictures and it _ was delighted! we have been looking at pictures and it brings _ was delighted! we have been looking at pictures and it brings home - was delighted! we have been looking at pictures and it brings home the i at pictures and it brings home the importance of the work that you do. quite clearly, it must also have an effect on the team that you were with, to be able to see first hand, to meet the people you are able to help? to meet the people you are able to hel ? . . to meet the people you are able to hel? . , ., . , to meet the people you are able to hel? ., , ., ., , ., help? that is right. normally our service is referrals, _ help? that is right. normally our service is referrals, the - help? that is right. normally our service is referrals, the health i service is referrals, the health visitors and social workers and
