with almost all of the results declared, let's take a look at the numbers. mr macron won more than 27 % of the votes with ms le pen three points behind on 2a, and far left candidate jean—luc melenchon was a further three percentage points behind her. our europe correspondent jessica parker has more from paris. "i'm counting on you," says emmanuel macron. he may have topped the first round, and they are happy, but a note of caution as this fight enters a new phase. translation: don't make a mistake, this isn't over. l the debate we are going to have over the next 15 days is decisive for our country and for europe. his opponent enjoyed a recent rise in the polls. far right candidates marine le pen. her policies include a ban on the muslim headscarf in public places, but she's tried

to soften her image and show she's ready for high office. translation: what will happen of the 24th of april is not - just a vote about conditions, it's a matter of society. even of civilisation. critics call le pen�*s policy programme racist. her supporters say it's macron whose time is up. in 2017, people voted for macron because he was new and we didn't know him so everyone was like, well, let's try it. we tried it and it was awful. macron has been accused of being barely visible at points in this campaign. too focused on international issues to notice peoples struggles at home. do you think emmanuel macron has been too complacent so far? i don't think so. i think he was at work, trying to protect his people, trying to tackle very in depth crisis that we need to work, we need to show what is our project,

we need to be in the campaign, we need to explain. there is huge relief here tonight for supporters of emmanuel macron but acknowledgement too there is work to be done. they are cheering now whilst marine le pen�*s campaign has given them a scare. hot off the press, left—leaning paper liberation. familiarfaces. these were the final two candidates last time. but five years on, the political picture is different and things can move fast. there's two weeks to go. jessica parker, bbc news in paris. our correspondent anna holligan is in paris. good morning, anna. these two politicians faced each other five years ago and of course mr macron won it, is it going to be a slightly closer contest this time? this might look like a victory _ closer contest this time? this might look like a victory but _ closer contest this time? this might look like a victory but of _ closer contest this time? this might look like a victory but of course - look like a victory but of course the real challenge is yet to come and it looks as though both of these

candidates have performed better—than—expected. it's mainly with their core say what it will come down to now is who is left behind, these people who don't like either of these candidates and they both have real challenges. marine le pen is still seen by many as being quite toxic, her programme is racist and xenophobic it is seen, and emmanuel macron, a lot of people we were speaking to last night at the far left candidate's headquarters say they just want more. but far left candidate's headquarters say theyjust want more. but marine le pen, 23%, she has performed better than any far right candidate in the past. there is a sense it is all too playful. jean—luc melenchon is very interesting, got about 20% of the vote. last night he said to his supporters, don't vote for marine le pen but he stopped short of lending his support to emmanuel macron. a lot of young people we were talking to especially say they will simply not vote for anyone and

sit to the next round out. in terms of poll predictions, some have it as close as 51% a9, and those in the uk who watched brexit and the us trump campaign will be wondering, what's next here in france?— next here in france? thank you, anna, next here in france? thank you, anna. live _ next here in france? thank you, anna. live in _ next here in france? thank you, anna, live in paris. _ president zelensky has warned ukrainians to prepare for russia to launch what he calls "even larger operations in the east". in a speech posted on social media, he also accused russia of catastrophic cowardice. our correspondent danjohnson is in the western city of lviv. good morning, dana. we saw boris johnson wandering around the capital at the weekend, he looked much safer, it looked much safer and, thenit safer, it looked much safer and, then it had done but clearly president zelensky really concerned about this whole thing shifting geographically. about this whole thing shifting geographically-—

about this whole thing shifting u-eorahicall. , ~ geographically. absolutely, ithink the ukrainian _ geographically. absolutely, ithink the ukrainian president— geographically. absolutely, ithink the ukrainian president was - geographically. absolutely, ithink the ukrainian president was my i the ukrainian president was my priority is to try to keep up the pressure and the international support for people not to get complacent, just because things are calmer around kyiv, the war is not over, he is emphasising the biggest battles may be to come. he directly talked about russia last night saying, when cowardice grows, it turns into a catastrophe. when people lack the courage to admit their mistakes, apologise, adapt to reality and learn, they turn into monsters, he said. and when the world ignores that, the monsters decide that the world has to adapt to them. he said it would be ukraine that ended that but he is preparing people particularly in the east for big battles to come. that's why there is so much more air defence and military support coming to bolster ukrainian defences, but we know that the russians are reorganising in that part of the country as well particularly so that's why people here in the west are preparing for more refugees to play this way. we know there have been trains laid on to try to get

people out of eastern regions of the donbas to safer places like lviv but even here overnight there were air raid sirens in the early hours. people are still on edge, and expecting a rise in the conflict, an intensification of the attacks in the east of the country. we are also hearing about the state of the ukraine economy with the world bank warning it could shrink by almost half this year. as well as the conflict, the refugee crisis, we are seeing the other sorts of effects of this war is having on everyday life and business here in a country that really has endured intense pressure for weeks and weeks now and the president's message is, it's not over, there are more battles to come. . ~' over, there are more battles to come. . ~ ,, y over, there are more battles to come. . ~ ,, , . ., come. thank you very much with that assessment. — come. thank you very much with that assessment, dan _ come. thank you very much with that assessment, dan johnson. _ as russia intensifies its attack on the southern port city of mariupol, some civilians have managed to escape north to the relative safety of zaporizhya where they've been telling tom bateman about their treatment at the hands of putin's troops. in the siege of mariupol, it is the elderly and disabled

who feel most trapped in the line of fire. 80—year—old valentina has just been evacuated further north. she is blind and was in her kitchen with a shell exploded. translation: it's a good - thing my children were at home. they picked me up, carried me outside and we left immediately. i don't know what happened to my house, if it burned down or anything, we don't have any communications. the calls are no longer going through. a lifetime in mariupol was stripped away in days. valentina says she had to cook food in her fireplace while friends went to fetch water. here, they are bringing in the wounded from all over the south. vasil was doing all he could to help his fellow villagers under fire, ferrying bread, sugar and medicines to the elderly. but moscow's war reached him at the roadside.

and he rages at president putin. translation: we stopped, | i saw a bullet hit my window. as i wasjumping out of the car, i got blown up by a mine. we were just living like normal people. we didn't ask anyone to come here, we didn't want this. what kind of liberty is he on about? because of him, i lost my leg, i lost everything. in towns even further north of here, there are now calls to evacuate. now, these people can feel some safety here for now. but it might not be for long. and they know how merciless the russian assault is. thousands more have fled the fighting. they arrive at the aid shelters with nothing but the trauma of war. serhei's village was caught in the crossfire. he says the russian soldiers forced him into his home, demanding vodka, stealing his money, his phone, even his shoes.

he says one put a gun to his chest. translation: he cocked his weapon and pulled the trigger, _ but the weapon had a stoppage. me and my wife were holding our hands together. we thought that's it for us, we said our goodbyes with our eyes. but the round jammed. i picked up the bullet later and gave it to my godson as a memory of us managing to stay alive. serhei has patched up his car after it was hit. he says he's sure he'll go back home soon. ukrainians believe they have won the first phase of this war. as russia pours troops into the east, they know the next one will be decisive. tom bateman, bbc news, zaporizhya in south—east ukraine. the chancellor, rishi sunak, has asked for an independent review of all the declarations of interests he's made since becoming a minister following scrutiny

over his wife's tax arrangements. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now. good morning, adam. what should we make of this move by the chancellor? this is politician fighting for their reputation and their family's reputation, and to carry on in the job that with their reputation intact. and you can see why rishi sunak has made this move this morning to ask the prime minister to get his advisor of ministerial interests to look at everything the chancellor has done when it comes to declaring his and his family's financial interests. it would mean you would get a well respected independent person giving him the seal of approval which rishi sunak would hope would draw a line under all of this. also, rishi sunak�*s team ink that through the last few years, when he has had to have conversations with civil servants about his business interests and his wife's financial interests, he's

gone further than he needed to, and i'm sure they would be very pleased if that got more widely known and came into the public domain. the issue for the government as far as this is concerned is this drag is the prime minister into this, whereas previously all he had to do was that to say that he had confidence in his chancellor. the prime minister will have to decide whether to call in the adviser which means the process will rumble on for a bit longer. it means the story itself will rumble on for a little bit longer and some people will be in the conservative party this morning thinking, why has the chancellor done this when maybe he could havejust chancellor done this when maybe he could have just kept his head chancellor done this when maybe he could havejust kept his head down and the story might have died down a little bit? also, the other person writing to the prime minister this morning is angela rayner, labour's deputy leader, making a lot of claims about rishi sunak and his wife over many years. labour basically throwing a whole load of mud hoping that at least some of it will stick. . ~

mud hoping that at least some of it will stick. ., ~ , ., ~ ., will stick. thank you, adam, in westminster _ will stick. thank you, adam, in westminster this _ will stick. thank you, adam, in westminster this morning. - the queen has spoken publicly for the first time about her experience of having coronavirus, saying it left her "very tired and exhausted". she made the comment during a video call with staff and former patients at the royal london hospital, as louisa pilbeam reports. it does leave one very tired and exhausted, doesn't it, this horrible pandemic. it's the first time we've heard the queen speak about her bout of covid as she sympathised with a patient who ended up on a ventilator due to the virus. are you better now? i'm getting there, i'm recovering. i'm much better, i recently left the wheelchair so i'm walking about now. i'm glad that you're getting better. it was february when the queen isolated here at windsor castle after testing positive for covid. the palace called the 95—year—old's symptoms mild and cold—like. she continued light duties from the castle, like official paperwork and video calls.

but as weeks passed, she pulled out of the commonwealth service at westminster abbey. by last month, though, she met the canadian prime minister in person and welcomed a teapot and pottery exhibition to the castle. in recent times the queen has been walking with the aid of a stick, as seen here at prince philip's memorial service at westminster abbey two weeks ago. and despite speaking of the exhaustion covid caused her, perhaps the biggest clue to her majesty's health now is her expression at the end of her latest video call. thank you very much indeed, all of you. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. the queen expressing what a lot of people who have had the virus have felt. �* , , people who have had the virus have felt. h , felt. it's interesting the palace releasin: felt. it's interesting the palace releasing that, _ felt. it's interesting the palace releasing that, her— felt. it's interesting the palace releasing that, her talking - felt. it's interesting the palace l releasing that, her talking about her health, and the clip couple of weeks ago talking about the ability

from the south. some of the rain could be thundery. the winds are gusty where we have the rain, not a particularly cold night in prospect. should be relatively frost free. into tomorrow, the first band of rain pushes into the northern isles, the second band which could be heavy and thundery moves north, it curls backin and thundery moves north, it curls back in east anglia and the south—east. further west it will be one or two showers but brighter conditions as well. the winds will not be as gusty as today, so it will not be as gusty as today, so it will not feel quite as cold along the north sea coastline with highs up to about 17 or 18. thank you very much, looking good. let's take a look at today's front pages. the french presidential election features in a number of the papers this morning. according to the guardian, france is facing a brutal two—week battle over its future.

the row over the chancellor and his wife's tax status continues to rumble on. according to the i, the controversy has put a huge dent in rishi sunak�*s hopes of becoming prime minister. that's why adam was just saying he is keen to clear his name of that investigation. the queen's comments about her experience of having coronavirus are reported in the mirror. "covid left me exhausted" is the headline. and the winner of the grand national features on the front page of the telegraph. sam waley—cohen has told the paper he's actually out of pocket after the race because he's an amateur jockey. he is never going to race again, apparently! he'll be joining us live on the show just after 8.30 this morning. since he won, he has been whizzing around, back to ireland, back to newbury. around, back to ireland, back to newbu . ., ~ newbury. out of pocket in racing terms, newbury. out of pocket in racing terms. but _ newbury. out of pocket in racing terms. but i _ newbury. out of pocket in racing terms, but i think— newbury. out of pocket in racing terms, but i think he _ newbury. out of pocket in racing terms, but i think he will- newbury. out of pocket in racing terms, but i think he will do - newbury. out of pocket in racing l terms, but i think he will do rather well. that was the last time he was

three—year—old daughter. have you got a visa? no. we have the lovely maria and her two little boys. l they're living in one of these shelters and sleeping - on the floor so fingers crossed they will be over soon. - when did she apply? a few weeks ago. very frustrating, because we've got everything in place. in the pub, chat is about how increasingly desperate families are. it's really, really embarrassing, it's angering. i'm actually sad at this point because i'm one of the volunteers who speaks to all of the refugees, and they're sitting in limbo in other countries and they're running out of money. we've been paired with a lady called alina. vicky tells me alina has travelled alone from ukraine to poland and now on to switzerland as she waits for her uk visa. she said to me, which i thought was really sad, she felt like a coward for leaving. sorry, i get quite

emotional about it. there's no update with your family? unfortunately not. you have spoken to them? yes, we spoke last week. she ended up in tears on the phone to me. what she said to me was, itjust seems like the british government doesn't want us. but we do, we will do all we can. these are frustration their local council is acutely aware of. there are a couple of key checks we have to do and those are disclosure checks and then the accommodation checks. however we absolutely recognise that the visa process has taken a bit of time. residents will be arriving, guests will be arriving quite soon and if we haven't managed to get these done, then that won't hold us back. we will do them after the residents arrived here in aberfeldy. and that is a bit of a change of policy and that's going to speed things up? it absolutely will speed things up. valentina arrived in aberfeldy as a refugee 2a years ago from bosnia. today he, his dad and their neighbours wait to help in another crisis.

i'm hopeful, that we know that we will get it done. we need to get moving. we see the tv every day, and it's getting worse and worse. more than a million people have left ukraine looking for refuge. only 1200 have found that refuge here under the homes for ukraine scheme. that is less than 3% of the total number to apply. you still haven't had your visa? no, nothing still. in linda's house, we catch up with tatiana. the first to accept aberfeldy�*s invitation, the first to apply for a visa almost a month ago. you can't stay where you are any more, can you? you've run out of time? no, of course, no. well, it's been a month. i mean, people here were more than generous. they let us live here for the whole month. that's the last day and tomorrow we are moving out. the not knowing must be the worst.

sadly, yes. this tatiana is the first aberfeldy refugee to be granted a visa. she, herfriend maria and their two children left their town just north of mariupol after it was bombed. so, we had no electricity, no heating, no water. we had nothing at all, not even glass in the windows. and we just couldn't stay there any longer. i'm very relieved and happy that you'll be able to be with us soon, tatiana, and i hope you'll feel very safe here. i'm very grateful for all your support you are giving me, and for all your help, thank you very much. she will now wait for the whole group to get visas before making the journey here to scotland, to secretary. to scotland, to sanctuary. the government say the aim

is to process applications in two to three days. on friday, priti patel apologised for delays. what we're seeing is the sort of worst possible of human nature and the best. you know, what aberfeldy has demonstrated is that that's very alive and well, that kind of spirit. and our governmentjust seem to be completely out of step. it's not beyond the wit of man to get desperate people out of a desperate situation into homes that are ready and willing and that disconnect that linda hasjust been talking about between the government and the population is so far out of kilter with us. it's gaping. this is where they want to be. so far, only five of the 55 aberfeldy visa applications have been granted, so tatiana's young family and the town continue to wait. jayne mccubbin, bbc news.

with others, she's helped us reduce violent crime, but it's time now for somebody who understands london, understands our city, understands and recognises the challenges the police faces and takes steps to address that. a police officer has been injured by a man wielding a machete in east london. emergency services were called to skelton road in forest gate yesterday at about midday. the metropolitan police force said it was believed a man was "suffering a mental health crisis". the officer was taken to hospital for a slash wound to his arm. his condition is not life threatening. as the cost of living rises, finance—savvy londoners are turning to �*life hacks' to save money. some have been giving bbc london their top tips including using eco shower heads, cutting down on subscriptions and finding cheaper ways to travel. you have to think about small things like how many cups of tea you are making in the day. i will boil the kettle once in the morning, put it in a warm flask. rather than spending 15 minutes

in the bath or shower, i'm spending ten minutes. i also have started using the santander bikes. and with it being the school holidays, we'll be speaking to thejournalist behind �*cheapskate london' on our 6.30 programme this evening. kate samuelson will give us a guide to the best free events in london this easter. let's take a look at the tubes. there are minor delays on the dlr between canary wharf and stratford. the overground is part suspended between harrow & wealdstone and watford junction. onto the weather now with sara thornton. good morning to you. we've had some really frosty starts over the weekend in our suburbs, some really quite cold air with us, but not so this morning, yet it feels cool out there but temperatures well above freezing and sunshine at first through the day today. but our weather is coming up from the south, we will see a bit of cloud coming in by the end of the day. crucially, it is a lot warmer than it has been with temperatures in the mid to high teens today. overnight tonight we have some cloud to push in and into the early hours

of tomorrow morning, some possibly heavy, possibly thundery but broken rain which will be with us to start things off tomorrow morning. not again, a chilly start tomorrow. here is the complicated frontal system picture for tomorrow. further outbreaks of rain tomorrow but after that a lot of fine and settled weather, we've got high pressure for the middle part of the week. and with our winds at the moment coming in from the south that really lifting our temperatures. so well above where we have been through the weekend, we are talking about temperatures in the mid to high teens over the next couple of days, the peak of which looks to be a wednesday when we could see 20 degrees and it looks fine into the bank holiday weekend. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back tojon and sally. bye for now. you're watching breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent.

coming up on today's show, we have three sporting greats for you. grand national winner sam waley—cohen will be telling us how he feels after that fairy—tale end to his racing career. rugby union legend mike tindall will be on the sofa to talk about parkinson's disease — which his dad has been living with for nearly 20 years. and rugby league's "super" kevin sinfield has got a big announcement for us after 8:00. he'll be revealing a new challenge in honour of his great friend rob burrow. as we've been hearing this morning, emmanuel macron will face the far—right leader marine le pen in a run—off for the french presidency in two weeks' time. joining us now from paris is catherine nicholson, european affairs editor for france 2a tv.

good for france 2a tv. morning, thank you forjoining us. good morning, thank you forjoining us. let's start for people tuning in this morning, what shall we make of this morning, what shall we make of this vote overnight? yes. this morning, what shall we make of this vote overnight?— this vote overnight? yes, it was a result that _ this vote overnight? yes, it was a result that surprised _ this vote overnight? yes, it was a result that surprised most - this vote overnight? yes, it was a result that surprised most people j this vote overnight? yes, it was a i result that surprised most people in france, who had been thinking that the result would stick close to what the result would stick close to what the opinion polls had been giving us. but in the end, emmanuel macron did slightly better than expected, about 28% for the sitting president. his far right rival, marine le pen, as expected in second place. a roundabout where we expected her to be, about 23%. the big surprise was that the traditional mainstream parties, if you will, the equivalent of britain's labour and conservative parties, the parties that have dominated france for many decades, they were almost no where to be

seen. the conservative party candidate and the socialist party candidate and the socialist party candidate both looked like they will lose their deposits, they didn't even meet the threshold to get their campaign financing money refunded to them. we saw that overall, one in three people who turned up to vote yesterday cast a ballot for the extreme right, so either marine le pen or the other two candidates who are widely considered to be on the far right of french politics. i far right of french politics. i guess the question is, what now? we get this run—off between macron and marine le pen, the same race we had between the two of them five years ago, but the politics surrounding it are rather different now, things have changed?— are rather different now, things have changed? that is absolutely riuht. in have changed? that is absolutely right- in 2017. — have changed? that is absolutely right. in 2017, emmanuel- have changed? that is absolutelyj right. in 2017, emmanuel macron have changed? that is absolutely - right. in 2017, emmanuel macron one with two thirds of the vote in the second round run—off and just to explain to your viewers, it is a simple vote, every person in france get a simple choice between one of

those candidates. it is a simple process of choosing. politics have changed since then because in 2017 emmanuel macron had onlyjust emmanuel macron had only just founded emmanuel macron had onlyjust founded his own political party, he had come almost out of nowhere. he had come almost out of nowhere. he had served as a minister under the president of the time. he was selling himself as being neither of the left, nor of the right. he was saying you can all vote for me, i am in the middle and i am there for everybody. obviously we have had five years of president macron now and people have seen his record, they have seen his positions and they have seen his positions and they can judge they have seen his positions and they canjudge him on they have seen his positions and they can judge him on that. they have seen his positions and they canjudge him on that. that is what many people did yesterday. equally, marine le pen, has made no secret of her admiration for vladimir putin, for example. has had

loans from russian banks, spiralling into the millions of euros to finance their campaigns. she has published pictures of herself visiting vladimir putin. and her campaign leaflets featured a picture of her proudly shaking the hand of putin. i think we are going to see quite an interesting and likely a heated and feisty two weeks ahead as the campaign restarts between just those two candidates now. it is the campaign restarts between 'ust those two candidates now.�* those two candidates now. it is a fascinating _ those two candidates now. it is a fascinating couple _ those two candidates now. it is a fascinating couple of— those two candidates now. it is a fascinating couple of weeks - those two candidates now. it is a l fascinating couple of weeks ahead, isn't it? the crucial thing now, all of those candidates who have to drop out at this point, where do they tell their voters so far to go, marine le pen or macron? you're absolutely — marine le pen or macron? you're absolutely right, _ marine le pen or macron? you're absolutely right, most _ marine le pen or macron? you're absolutely right, most of- marine le pen or macron? you're absolutely right, most of them i marine le pen or macron? you're i absolutely right, most of them have given guidance to their supporters about who to vote for. most of those

have said they would like macron to be the person who is back. so the mainstream centre—right conservative candidate, as i said all the mainstream centre—left and also the green candidates and some of the smaller candidates. one person who did not say i want you to vote for macron is the person who came in third, the candidate from the far left. he got very close to coming in second place. he gave a very impassioned speech, and he said to his disappointed supporters, do not vote for marine le pen, but he didn't bring himself to say vote for emmanuel macron. someone he has spent the last five years attacking, they have extremely different positions, particularly on the economy. that does leave a large amount of uncertainty going into the second round. one third of french

people will back marine le pen, as i said. that would put her exactly where she was in the second round in 2017, where she got almost 3a% of the vote. another big question is how many people will turn out on april the 2ath to cast a ballot? the turnout yesterday was low, about 26% of people did not cast a vote who were registered to do so. that is very close to the record of 28% of people not turning out 20 years ago. obviously, that throws a lot of question marks and it is seen a lot of people from the traditional centre—left could abstain on april the 2ath because people see emmanuel macron not really as being neither left nor right, so people think, you are a bit right of centre and for french people who have wanted to back a socialist, they think they

have a choice between two essentially candidates or not voting at all. will they do that as a protest? it is going to be very interesting to see how the candidates try and attract those voters, i think. candidates try and attract those voters, ithink.— candidates try and attract those voters, ithink. voters, i think. thank you for now, i susect voters, i think. thank you for now, i suspect we _ voters, i think. thank you for now, i suspect we will— voters, i think. thank you for now, i suspect we will speak _ voters, i think. thank you for now, i suspect we will speak to - voters, i think. thank you for now, i suspect we will speak to you - voters, i think. thank you for now, | i suspect we will speak to you again in the next couple of weeks, thank you for that. after a ra couple weekend of golf, rory mcilroy, so close? a lot of people probably didn't get a lot of sleep last night because they thought rory mcilroy would have pulled this off. a credit to the man there. so many sporting stories this weekend? and he said he cried like a baby before the final round. he was under pressure, there was a bit of a wobble on the final hole, but he did see it out in the end and rory

mcilroy has to make do with being a runner up. he was going for the grand slam, this is the one that is missing for him but is way to augusta continues. american scottie scheffler, who's now the proud owner of a green jacket. he won the masters by three shots in the end, after a sensational day at augusta. our sports correspondent andy swiss has more: he's the world number one and now he's the masters champion for scottie scheffler, golf at the moment is about as good as it gets. but only after seeing off a quite remarkable challenge, rory mcilroy had begun the day some ten shots behind. no chance, surely? but mcilroy conjured one of the rounds of his life, saving the very best until last. just watch this... on the final hole, he needed something special — and boy, did he get it! how's the pace? come on, then, round you come. get in there, mcilroy! it was the stuff of golfing dreams.

a remarkable round of 6a for mcilroy. suddenly he was scheffler�*s nearest rival, and the american still had to play his closing holes. would he falter? well, not a bit of it. as scheffler kept his cool and pulled clear. he was able to walk down the 18th with victory assured and despite a few nerves as he twice missed a short putt... ..finally, it was third time lucky. there it is. triumph for the 25—year—old texan, then, after an unforgettable day. nothing is safe out there on the back nine of this golf course. i have heard what everyone says, it doesn't start until the back nine on sunday, anything can happen. don't hit in the water on 12, all that stuff. i block most of that out and try to execute and take my golf shots. for scheffler, a first major title, and on this showing,

it's unlikely to be his last. andy swiss, bbc news. after all the talk — manchester city against liverpool did live up to the hype. what a match a the etihad. it finished 2—2 with one point still separating the sides at the top of the premier league. city landed the first blow. taking the lead through kevin de bruyne afterjust five minutes. liverpool equalised, city went ahead again before the break but the visitors flew out of the blocks on the restart. it tookjust 60 seconds for sadio mane to draw them level. city stay top, just, with seven games to play. at the bottom — norwich kept their slim chances of staying in the premier league alive by beating fellow strugglers burnley at carrow road. teemu pukki sealed the 2—0 win four minutes from the end. brentford took a huge step towards premier league survival with a 2—0 win over west ham — this header from ivan toney sealing the win that leaves them 12 points clear of the relegation zone. and kiernan dewsbury—hall

was outstanding for leicester, setting up one goal and scoring another, as they beat crystal palace 2—1. they've now leaped frogged their opponents in the table and are up to ninth. kemar roofe scored a hat—trick for rangers in their a—o win at st mirren, but the goal of the game was this one from joe aribo. rangers are running out of games to catch celtic at the top of the scottish premiership — they're six points behind with five to play. wigan have set up a meeting with the holders st helens in the semi—finals of rugby league's challenge cup. a hat—trick from jai field helped them thrash wakefield 30—6. wigan have won this trophy a record 19 times — and they've lostjust once in all competitions so far this season. every single back page, unsurprisingly on the manchester city liverpool game that finished 2-2. it city liverpool game that finished 2—2. it was a cracking game. so often we hide these games up and it

is a drab affair. it was significantly hyped. it was always going to be a draw? 2—2, exactly what it was early in the season so just one point in it. keeps the excitement going. thank you very much indeed for now. nhs leaders are warning that the government risks "abandoning" the health service if it doesn't make serious changes to its �*living with covid' plan. the nhs confederation, which represents health care in england, wales and northern ireland, says hospitals are already feeling the pressure of rising cases. let's take a look at some figures. over the past week, 20 nhs accident and emergency departments in england issued diverts, meaning patients were taken elsewhere. meanwhile, those a&e departments still taking new patients have seen long delays, with more than a quarter of ambulances waiting at least 30 minutes to handover patients. there are more than 20,000 people with covid in hospitals across the uk, which is close to the total seen in the first covid wave, although more than half

are being treated primarily for other illnesses. we can speak now to matthew taylor who's the chief executive of the nhs confederation. good confederation. morning, mrtaylor. good confederation. mornina, mr ta lor. morning. good morning, mr taylor. good morning. interesting _ good morning, mr taylor. good morning. interesting numbers, | good morning, mr taylor. good i morning. interesting numbers, can ou tell morning. interesting numbers, can you tell me — morning. interesting numbers, can you tell me what _ morning. interesting numbers, can you tell me what the _ morning. interesting numbers, can you tell me what the pressures i morning. interesting numbers, can you tell me what the pressures of. you tell me what the pressures of the nhs is facing at this point? i’m the nhs is facing at this point? i'm crateful to the nhs is facing at this point? in grateful to you for sharing those figures for people and our concern is there is a lack of awareness and engagement with the pressure facing the nhs. it is across the system as a whole. of course, we are better at dealing with covid than we have been in the past, fewer people dying and fewer people ending up in intensive care, it still is putting immense pressure on the health service. it is leading to and adding to the demand which already exists, partly to do with the number of people who are waiting for treatment which

built up during cobit. we have a situation in our health service now which is as bad as any winter, even though we are approaching easter. it is really important we understand that this is happening. in our view, we do not have a living with covid plan, we have a living without restrictions ideology, which is different. we need to put in place the measures necessary while this virus continues to affect. what virus continues to affect. what measures _ virus continues to affect. what measures do _ virus continues to affect. what measures do you _ virus continues to affect. what measures do you suggest? i virus continues to affect. what j measures do you suggest? we virus continues to affect. what i measures do you suggest? we need virus continues to affect. what - measures do you suggest? we need to be aware it is — measures do you suggest? we need to be aware it is still— measures do you suggest? we need to be aware it is still here. _ measures do you suggest? we need to be aware it is still here. i _ measures do you suggest? we need to be aware it is still here. i travel- be aware it is still here. i travel on the london underground, i have watched as the decline of mask wearing has gathered pace. we do need to take those simple precautions that we can take that will reduce the spread of this virus. we need to renew the call for people to have vaccinations and booster vaccinations, there are still a lot of people who are not up today with the vaccinations they

could have. we need to resource the health service. at the moment, the health service. at the moment, the health services providing free tests for its staff, which it needs to do because staff absences are really high in the nhs because of cobit. at the nhs has to pay for those tests. we have to put the result is it because we are behaving as if this pandemic is over, but it is not over in relation to the challenges facing the health service. shire in relation to the challenges facing the health service.— the health service. are we at a oint the health service. are we at a point now _ the health service. are we at a point now that _ the health service. are we at a point now that was _ the health service. are we at a point now that was actually i the health service. are we at a i point now that was actually entirely predictable, this whole pandemic, we have modelled various stages of it, are we at the point you would expect us to be at now? we are we at the point you would expect us to be at now?— are we at the point you would expect us to be at now? we did know that we were auoin us to be at now? we did know that we were going to — us to be at now? we did know that we were going to have _ us to be at now? we did know that we were going to have this _ us to be at now? we did know that we were going to have this new _ us to be at now? we did know that we were going to have this new variant. l were going to have this new variant. —— didn't know. it looks as though covdis —— didn't know. it looks as though covd is here to stay for a long time and we may have other variants. the concern we have in the nhs, we not seeing the medium term actions we need to take on the assumption that

covdis need to take on the assumption that covd is going to be here. we're not thinking about how ventilate buildings better, even people who are wearing masks are not wearing the masks that science shows a most effective. we have got to continue to talk about covd and continue to take responsibility for it and continue to support the health service. it is important you viewers understand the pressures we are understand the pressures we are under and we try to use the health service as responsibly as we can. we use 111, we don't put pressure on our ambulance use 111, we don't put pressure on ourambulance and use 111, we don't put pressure on our ambulance and a&e departments. we touched on something that is important, there are things the public can do to help support the nhs at the moment. you mention masks, or what type of masks should people be wearing? the masks, or what type of masks should people be wearing?— people be wearing? the evidence su: nests people be wearing? the evidence suggests we _ people be wearing? the evidence suggests we need _ people be wearing? the evidence suggests we need to _ people be wearing? the evidence

programmes alongside public programme of managing risks, we can start to live with covd. but maybe we need to live with it in a different way. before we get the weather from carol, let's take a moment to enjoy this live shot of paris in the spring sunshine. that is one of my favourite views in the world. what? look out of the window here. we are there covering the first round of the presidential elections in france, but we had to bring you that this morning as the sun rises over the french capital. absolutely gorgeous. i wonder if carroll can bring us news of beautiful, golden light for us this morning. she is not doing badly. this is from yesterday. yesterday it was a frosty start to the day, but it was also a sunny start. look at the difference today,

for some of us there is a 12 degrees increase in temperature compared to this time yesterday. not as cold. the reason is low pressure is driving our weather and has been pushing in a lot of cloud through the course of the night. the cloud thick enough for some patchy, light rain and drizzle. as we go through the morning, this band of showery rain will continue to push on across the south—west and getting into wales and northern ireland later. some of that will be heavy. in between there will be sunshine and we will see some blue skies around, but gusty winds, notably gusty winds to 30 to 35 miles an hour but we are looking at about ao, may be fortified with exposure in the west. because of the direction of the wind from the south—east, it will feel cooler along the north sea coastline but inland, top temperature is likely to be 17 degrees. average at this time of year is ten to 13, north to south. through this evening and overnight you can see how the

weather front takes the rain further north but we have this front bringing more showery rain and some of that will be heavy and thundery. you can see where that air is coming from, all the way up from north africa. on tuesday don't be surprised if there is a bit of sahara dust in the air across parts of the east and the south—east. tuesday morning will not be cold, we should be frost free. as we go through the course of the day, we have our first band of rain clearing the north and the second one coming up the north and the second one coming up across northern ireland, northern england and into scotland and some of that will be heavy and thundery. becomes all the way back down into the south—east. in the west, something prior to coming our way with sunshine, but also showers. there will be when, quite gusty around the rain band. temperatures, seven in lerwick. but in london we could hit 20. from tuesday into wednesday there goes the weather front. the isobars really slacking,

so there will be less wind on wednesday. but there will be mist and drizzle especially in the west. best of the sunshine will be out towards the east and temperatures, they will not be too bad for the time of year on wednesday, looking at highs of up to 19 and potentially 20. thank you, carol we will see you in a bit. if you're about to have your cornflakes, you might want to go easy on the milk, because the price is about to shoot up. nina's at a dairy in warwickshire to explain. you have already been making friends, haven't you? we have been making friends this morning, they have been incredibly welcoming. look at how beautiful they are, 650 of them here. look how gentle they are and what i love about them is,

charles will show you know, when they are ready to be milked, they very elegantly take themselves off to this machine. it worked in rehearsals, isn't that always the way? they walk through there and it automatically milks them. they are neverin automatically milks them. they are never in pain waiting to be milked. it is so clever, child. good morning and we will come to you to talk about the prices. i want to explain why you may be paying more when it comes to supermarket shopping for your milk. the grass that they eat, the feed they have, the equipment that needs energy on this farm means prices will be going up. this is the warning, a four pint bottle of milk could be increasing by 50%. from 1.15, all the way up to 1.65. that is the warning. part of the reason for that is because of the increased prices. excuse you! increase prices

of fertiliser which is going up to £1000 a tonne. as for animalfeed, that has gone up 70% since 2020, partly because of the crisis and the exports from ukraine. but it was already happening because of the stop, start of the economy post covd. what is unusual for farmers, they don't set the price, supermarkets tell them how they were charges and the farmers have to live with that. charles, how much has that been squeezing your margins? over the last few months, hugely. the cost of production of milk is up to aop a litre. we are getting 36.5 p. the amount of milk we are sending, 8000 litres a day, it is having a huge impact on our cash flow. �* ., , having a huge impact on our cash flow. a , ., , having a huge impact on our cash flow. , ,., having a huge impact on our cash flow. , , flow. barely any profit per litre, what i do flow. barely any profit per litre, what i do to _ flow. barely any profit per litre, what i do to mitigate _ flow. barely any profit per litre, what i do to mitigate these i what i do to mitigate these expenses? what i do to mitigate these exoenses?_ what i do to mitigate these exenses? ~ ~ ., ., ., what i do to mitigate these exenses? ~ ., ., ., ., expenses? we know we have got a rice rise

good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. the mayor of london has thanked the metropolitan police commissioner on herfinal day in thejob. dame cressida dick resigned after sadiq khan said he'd lost confidence in herfollowing a number of scandals leading to criticism of the force. a new commissioner will be appointed in the summer. i want to put on record my thanks to cressida dick for her almost four decades of public service, mainly in london. in the recent past, working with others, she's helped us reduce violent crime, but it's time now for somebody who understands london, understands our city, understands and recognises the challenges the police faces and takes steps to address that. a police officer has been injured by a man wielding a machete in east london. emergency services were called to skelton road in forest gate yesterday at about midday. the metropolitan police force said it was believed a man was "suffering a mental health crisis".

the officer was taken to hospital for a slash wound to his arm. his condition is not life threatening. as the cost of living rises, finance—savvy londoners are turning to life hacks to save money. some have been giving bbc london their top tips including using eco shower heads, cutting down on subscriptions and finding cheaper ways to travel. you have to think about small things like how many cups of tea you are making in the day. i will boil the kettle once in the morning, put it in a warm flask. rather than spending 15 minutes in the bath or shower, i'm spending ten minutes. i also have started using the santander bikes. and with it being the school holidays, we'll be speaking to thejournalist behind cheapskate london on our 6.30 programme this evening. kate samuelson will give us a guide to the best free events in london this easter. let's take a look at the tubes. there are minor delays on the dlr between canary wharf and stratford. the overground is part suspended between harrow & wealdstone and watford junction.

onto the weather now with sara thornton. good morning to you. we've had some really frosty starts over the weekend in our suburbs, some really quite cold air with us, but not so this morning, yet it feels cool out there but temperatures well above freezing and sunshine at first through the day today. but our weather is coming up from the south, we will see a bit of cloud coming in by the end of the day. crucially, it is a lot warmer than it has been with temperatures in the mid to high teens today. overnight tonight we have some cloud to push in and into the early hours of tomorrow morning, some possibly heavy, possibly thundery but broken rain which will be with us to start things off tomorrow morning. not again, a chilly start tomorrow. here is the complicated frontal system picture for tomorrow. further outbreaks of rain tomorrow but after that a lot of fine and settled weather, we've got high pressure for the middle part of the week. and with our winds at the moment coming in from the south that really lifting our temperatures. so well above where we have been through the weekend, we are talking about temperatures

in the mid to high teens over the next couple of days, the peak of which looks to be wednesday when we could see 20 degrees and it looks fine into the bank holiday weekend. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back tojon and sally.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. emmanuel macron will face far—right challenger marine le pen in a run—off for the french presidency, a rerun of the vote of five years ago. ukraine's president zelensky warns of big battles to come against russian forces in the east of the country. after questions about his wife's tax affairs, chancellor rishi sunak asks for an official review of his financial declarations. rory mcilroy�*s late charge falls short as world number one scottie scheffler wins the masters by three shots to take his first major. the queen's covid. her majesty describes how she was left feeling by her recent bout of the virus. it does leave one very tired and exhausted, doesn't it, this horrible pandemic.

good morning. a much milder start to the day today than yesterday, some sunshine but a lot of cloud, showery outbreaks of rain some of which will be thundery in the south—west but this week it is getting milder. it's monday the 11th of april. our main story. emmanuel macron will face the far right leader marine le pen in a tight stand—off to lead the country in the french presidential election. yesterday's first round saw mr macron secure the most votes but ms le pen's share has grown. with almost all of the results declared, let's take a look at the numbers. mr macron won more than 27 % of the votes, with ms le pen four points behind on 23, and far left candidatejean—luc melenchon was in third place. our europe correspondent

jessica parker has more from paris. "i'm counting on you," says emmanuel macron. he may have topped the first round, and they are happy, but a note of caution as this fight enters a new phase. translation: don't make a mistake, this isn't over. l the debate we are going to have over the next 15 days is decisive for our country and for europe. his opponent enjoyed a recent rise in the polls. far right candidate marine le pen. her policies include a ban on the muslim headscarf in public places, but she's tried to soften her image and show she's ready for high office. translation: what will happen of the 24th of april is not just i a vote about conditions, it's a matter of society. even of civilisation. critics call le pen's policy programme racist. her supporters say it's macron whose time is up. in 2017, people voted for macron

because he was new and we didn't know him so everyone was like, well, let's try it. we tried it and it was awful. macron has been accused of being barely visible at points in this campaign. too focused on international issues to notice people's struggles at home. do you think emmanuel macron has been too complacent so far? i don't think so. i think he was at work, trying to protect his people, trying to tackle very in depth crisis. but we need to work, we need to show what is our project, we need to be in the campaign, we need to explain. there is huge relief here tonight for supporters of emmanuel macron but acknowledgement too there is work to be done. they are cheering now whilst marine le pen's campaign has given them a scare. hot off the press, left—leaning paper liberation.

familiarfaces. these were the final two candidates last time. but five years on, the political picture is different and things can move fast. there's two weeks to go. jessica parker, bbc news in paris. president zelensky has warned ukrainians to prepare for russia to launch what he calls "even larger operations in the east". in a speech posted on social media, he also accused russia of catastrophic cowardice. our correspondent danjohnson is in the western city of lviv. good morning. eastern ukraine has already suffered horrendous death and destruction and it sounds like they could be worse to come. absolutely, that is a part of the country that has been at war essentially for eight years, since 201a, when russia annexed crimea and some of the separatist movements there in the east have been

effectively under russian control. that's the part of the country where the russian literary is refocusing its effort and reorganising its forces under a new command structure —— the russian military is refocusing its effort and president zelensky is telling people to expect more there. i think he is trying to get rid of the complacency, because president zelensky was walking around the capital kyiv with boris johnson this weekend which shows you how calm it is compared to the start of the invasion. but people in these are being warned that the conflict will be worse in the d —— days and weeks ahead. we have seen more shelling and loss of life. the attack on a railway station on friday led to 57 deaths, that death toll has increased again this morning. that shows you the risk that people face even when they are trying to flee and get to safety.

more trains have been laid on in the last 2a—hour to get people out of the eastern regions to safer places like lviv where volunteers are preparing to accept an shelter more volunteer —— more refugees. but even here there were alarms and an air raid sirens, a warning at aam. people are still on edge and aware that there is a big battle to come in the east is the president says. we are also getting an idea of the other sorts of effects that the war is having on ukraine, the world bank saying that the country's economy could shrink by half this year, showing how normal life has been affected, the normal flow of business, goods cannot get out of the country and reach their market. that is the long—term effect that the country could suffer as well as the country could suffer as well as the conflict intensifying and the potential of more loss of life in the eastern reasons.— potential of more loss of life in the eastern reasons. thank you, dan, live in lviv- —

as russia intensifies its attack on the southern port city of mariupol, some civilians have managed to escape north to the relative safety of zaporizhya, where they've been telling tom bateman about their treatment at the hands of putin's troops. in the siege of mariupol, it is the elderly and disabled who feel most trapped in the line of fire. 80—year—old valentina has just been evacuated further north. she is blind and was in her kitchen when a shell exploded. translation: it's a good - thing my children were at home. they picked me up, carried me outside and we left immediately. i don't know what happened to my house, if it burned down or anything, we don't have any communications. the calls are no longer going through. a lifetime in mariupol was stripped away in days. valentina says she had to cook food in her fireplace while friends went to fetch water.

here, they are bringing in the wounded from all over the south. vasil was doing all he could to help his fellow villagers under fire, ferrying bread, sugar and medicines to the elderly. but moscow's war reached him at the roadside. and he rages at president putin. translation: we stopped, | i saw a bullet hit my window. as i wasjumping out of the car, i got blown up by a mine. we were just living like normal people. we didn't ask anyone to come here, we didn't want this. what kind of liberty is he on about? because of him, i lost my leg, i lost everything. in towns even further north of here, there are now calls to evacuate. now, these people can feel some safety here for now. but it might not be for long. and they know how merciless the russian assault is. thousands more have fled the fighting. they arrive at the aid shelters

with nothing but the trauma of war. serhei's village was caught in the crossfire. he says the russian soldiers forced him into his home, demanding vodka, stealing his money, his phone, even his shoes. he says one put a gun to his chest. translation: he cocked his weapon and pulled the trigger, _ but the weapon had a stoppage. me and my wife were holding our hands together. we thought that's it for us, we said our goodbyes with our eyes. but the round jammed. i picked up the bullet later and gave it to my godson as a memory of us managing to stay alive. serhei has patched up his car after it was hit. he says he's sure he'll go back home soon. ukrainians believe they have won the first phase of this war. as russia pours troops into the east, they know the next one will be decisive. tom bateman, bbc news,

zaporizhya in south—east ukraine. the chancellor, rishi sunak, has asked for an independent review of all the declarations of interests he's made since becoming a minister following scrutiny over his wife's tax arrangements. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now. hello, i don't. so the chancellor clearly really wanting to get everything out, why? —— hello, adam. the chancellor has written to the prime minister asking borisjohnson prime minister asking boris johnson to prime minister asking borisjohnson to ask his independent adviser on ministerial interests, a guy called lord geidt, to look into all of the declarations that rishi sunak made publicly and to civil servants about his family's interests. you can see where he has done this because the

idea of getting a seal of approval from an independent adviser would help him draw a line under the whole affair. rishi sunak�*s team thinkthey has volunteered more information on the bare minimum so if that was going to come out they will be very pleased. if it turns out the system as a whole means you can have this perception is of potential conflicts of interest, rishi sunak would be the accused to being the victim. labour have written to the prime minister, the deputy leader angela rayner looking at a whole load of the claims made about rishi sunak and comparing it to the ministerial code which is the rule book for how ministers are meant to behave, and claiming that rishi sunak is found wanting when you make that comparison. the prime minister receiving all of these letters is now being drawn into this, and plenty of conservative backbenchers are saying, did rishi sunak need to

write the letter and keep the story going for another day or two, could he notjust have kept his head down and let it die down?— and let it die down? thank you, adam. the queen has spoken publicly for the first time about her experience of having coronavirus, saying it left her "very tired and exhausted". she made the comment during a video call with staff and former patients at the royal london hospital, as louisa pilbeam reports. it does leave one very tired and exhausted, doesn't it, this horrible pandemic. it's the first time we've heard the queen speak about her bout of covid as she sympathised with a patient who ended up on a ventilator due to the virus. are you better now? i'm getting there, i'm recovering. i'm much better, i recently left the wheelchair so i'm walking about now. i'm glad that you're getting better. it was february when the queen isolated here at windsor castle after testing positive for covid. the palace called the 95—year—old's symptoms mild and cold—like. she continued light duties

from the castle, like official paperwork and video calls. but as weeks passed, she pulled out of the commonwealth service at westminster abbey. by last month, though, she met the canadian prime minister in person and welcomed a teapot and pottery exhibition to the castle. in recent times the queen has been walking with the aid of a stick, as seen here at prince philip's memorial service at westminster abbey two weeks ago. the queen has already announced that she will not attend the easter morn the church service on thursday. despite cancelling some engagements, the her majesty did seem in good spirits at the end of her latest video call. thank you very much

indeed, all of you. let's return to our main story now, the results of the first round of the french presidential election. our correspondent anna holligan is in paris. what can these results tell us about the battle to come over the next two weeks? it the battle to come over the next two weeks? , ., the battle to come over the next two weeks? , . . , ., . weeks? it is a paris rematch, the same as 2017. _ weeks? it is a paris rematch, the same as 2017. but _ weeks? it is a paris rematch, the same as 2017. but this _ weeks? it is a paris rematch, the same as 2017. but this time, i weeks? it is a paris rematch, the same as 2017. but this time, it i same as 2017. but this time, it seems closer than ever in terms of going into the next round. i wanted to give you a glimpse of the papers this morning. this is the left—wing liberation. this time, it really sucks. they are talking about marine le pen performing so well, better than any far right candidate in the past. le figaro, mccrone, le pen, the new deal. —— macron. the far left and the far right performed very well, the far left are not going through which means all of those supporters now have to decide between two candidates who many were telling us last night, they don't

like either of them. that's where the campaign will focus. finally, le monde, the themes that shaped the campaign. emmanuel macron was seen as being slightly distracted by the war in ukraine. marine le pen trying to detoxify, and now they will be fully focused on the issues that people here have been telling us that are the most to them. and that's primarily the cost of fuel, the cost of food, all to play for. the main election night debate we think will now be on 20th of april so all eyes will be on that before the main vote on the 2ath. what the main vote on the 24th. what indications _ the main vote on the 24th. what indications do _ the main vote on the 24th. what indications do you _ the main vote on the 24th. what indications do you have - the main vote on the 24th. what indications do you have there on which of the candidates will pick up the votes from the candidates who have been knocked out at this point? there are some obvious ones, so on the far right, zamora has suggested his voters to support le pen. on the centre—left, most of them has suggested macron. but when we were

at the far left candidate's headquarters last night, he was saying, anyone butjust don't look out for le pen —— don't vote for le pen. but he stopped short of suggesting macron. he has a lot of the vote of the young people. they have been telling us that these two have been telling us that these two have not been talking about the issues that matter to them, environmental concerns and inequality. that is where they have to focus because otherwise a lot of these young people, 18 to 2a—year—olds are saying they will simply abstain and will not take part at all in the second row. —— second round. this country is now quite polarised between far left and and there could be a few percentage points in it. between the far left and the far right. so the next few weeks could be critical in terms of france's position in the world and especially towards what is happening

in ukraine. aha, especially towards what is happening in ukraine. �* , , , ., , , in ukraine. a very sunny and pretty lookin: in ukraine. a very sunny and pretty looking paris _ in ukraine. a very sunny and pretty looking paris there! _ in ukraine. a very sunny and pretty looking paris there! do _ in ukraine. a very sunny and pretty looking paris there! do you - in ukraine. a very sunny and pretty looking paris there! do you wish i in ukraine. a very sunny and pretty l looking paris there! do you wish you were there? — looking paris there! do you wish you were there? charming! _ looking paris there! do you wish you were there? charming! yes! - looking paris there! do you wish you were there? charming! yes! do i looking paris there! do you wish you were there? charming! yes! do you| were there? charming! yes! do you wish i was there? _ were there? charming! yes! do you wish i was there? yes! _ were there? charming! yes! do you wish i was there? yes! will - were there? charming! yes! do you wish i was there? yes! will we i were there? charming! yes! do you wish i was there? yes! will we get l wish i was there? yes! will we get an hint wish i was there? yes! will we get anything to — wish i was there? yes! will we get anything to compete with wish i was there? 123! will we get anything to compete with that beautiful sunny day in paris? some of us will, you can see some blue skies but there is a lot of cloud as well. some of it producing some patchy light rain and drizzle. this area in the south—west is thundery, off the coast of cornwall, pushing through the midlands and wales and northern ireland and eventually into northern england through the day. there will be some breaks in the cloud, and some of us will see some sunshine. gusty winds developing today. inland 3o will see some sunshine. gusty winds developing today. inland 30 to 35 miles an hour but stronger along the

west coast. that will take the edge of the temperatures along the east coast, because it is a south—easterly wind. inland, we are looking at a six in lerwick to 17, top in london. this evening and overnight the first band of rain heads northwards of the risk of an odd rumble of thunder and another band comes across the south, similar with gusty winds and some heavy best but the wind is falling later. temperature will not be cold, frost free, overnight between four and 10 degrees. tomorrow we start with cloud and rain pushing north across scotland and a second band continuing to journey north as well. still some savvy best in that with the odd rumble of thunder. if you follow it around, it curls back into the south—east. there will be lighter when this so it will not feel as cold along the coastline. it

is getting milder as we go through the week. just in time for the easter holidays, thank you. people across the uk have come up with all kinds of ways of offering help to ukrainians, but a couple of schoolboys have come up with something very special. jacob and oliver recorded their own version of the beatles' classic "let it be" — to raise money for children in the war—torn country. it was heard by staff at the beatles museum, in liverpool, who invited them to do a special performance onjohn lennon's piano. before we speak to the lads, let's hear a bit of their song.

i want to put on record my thanks to cressida dick for her almost four decades of public service, mainly in london. in the recent past, working with others, she's helped us reduce violent crime, but it's time now for somebody who understands london, understands our city, understands and recognises the challenges the police faces and takes steps to address that. a police officer has been injured by a man wielding a machete in east london. emergency services were called to skelton road in forest gate yesterday at about midday. the metropolitan police force said it was believed a man was "suffering a mental health crisis". the officer was taken to hospital for a slash wound to his arm. his condition is not life threatening. as the cost of living rises, finance—savvy londoners are turning to �*life hacks' to save money. some have been giving bbc london their top tips including using eco shower heads, cutting down on subscriptions and finding cheaper ways to travel. you have to think about small things

like how many cups of tea you are making in the day. i will boil the kettle once in the morning, put it in a warm flask. rather than spending 15 minutes in the bath or shower, i'm spending ten minutes. i also have started using the santander bikes. and with it being the school holidays — we'll be speaking to thejournalist behind �*cheapskate london�* on our 6.30 programme this evening. kate samuelson will give us a guide to the best free events in london this easter. let�*s take a look at the tubes. there are severe delays on the metropolitan line. the overground is part suspended between harrow & wealdstone and watford junction. onto the weather now with sara thornton. good morning to you. we�*ve had some really frosty starts over the weekend in our suburbs, some really quite cold air with us, but not so this morning, yet it feels cool out there but temperatures well above freezing and sunshine at first through the day today. but our weather is coming up from the south, we will see a bit of cloud coming in by the end of the day. crucially, it is a lot warmer than it has been with temperatures

in the mid to high teens today. overnight tonight we have some cloud to push in and into the early hours of tomorrow morning, some possibly heavy, possibly thundery but broken rain which will be with us to start things off tomorrow morning. not again, a chilly start tomorrow. here is the complicated frontal system picture for tomorrow. further outbreaks of rain tomorrow but after that a lot of fine and settled weather, we�*ve got high pressure for the middle part of the week. and with our winds at the moment coming in from the south that really lifting our temperatures. so well above where we have been through the weekend, we are talking about temperatures in the mid to high teens over the next couple of days, the peak of which looks to be wednesday when we could see 20 degrees and it looks fine into the bank holiday weekend. i�*m back with the latest from bbc london in an hour. now though it�*s back tojon and sally. bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. uk food producers are losing business because of the lengthy delays around the port of dover. that�*s according to the british meat processors association. the group wants special priority for lorries carrying perishable goods like fresh meat. we can speak now to the secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs, george eustice. can george eustice. we start on the delays we have seen can we start on the delays we have seen over the last few days at dover. are you expecting them to resume again, more hold—ups? idate dover. are you expecting them to resume again, more hold-ups? we have been looking _ resume again, more hold-ups? we have been looking at — resume again, more hold-ups? we have been looking at the _ resume again, more hold-ups? we have been looking at the situation _ been looking at the situation closely, it was the beginning of the easter holiday period and the sharp increase in traffic that was causing some of these problems. obviously things have been exacerbated with some of the issues with p&o ferries.

my some of the issues with p&o ferries. my understanding is these queues have been going down. the arrangements, to stack the lorries around 5% of its capacity, there was around 5% of its capacity, there was a backlog. my understanding is it has started to clear. you a backlog. my understanding is it has started to clear.— has started to clear. you are confident — has started to clear. you are confident the _ has started to clear. you are confident the next _ has started to clear. you are confident the next few i has started to clear. you are confident the next few days | has started to clear. you are i confident the next few days won't confident the next few days won�*t see the kind of scenes we are seeing on our screens at the moment? idate on our screens at the moment? we have been _ on our screens at the moment? 2 have been looking at this closely in the next 2a hours and it is an improving situation. we think it has been caused by the commencement of the easter break period and a surge in traffic that caused that. but we think it is now moving in the right direction and clearing. fine think it is now moving in the right direction and clearing.— direction and clearing. one thing that a lot of _ direction and clearing. one thing that a lot of hauliers _ direction and clearing. one thing that a lot of hauliers are - direction and clearing. one thing that a lot of hauliers are calling . that a lot of hauliers are calling for is a priority lane for lorries that are carrying perishable goods

like meat, and that would keep stuff flowing through that needs to gets to its destination sooner. is that an option you would consider? it is an option you would consider? it is an option you would consider? it is a realistic an option you would consider? tit 3 a realistic option. we had looked at this previously in the context of a possible no—deal brexit a few years ago. you will recall those discussions and we had looked at a prioritisation system for perishable fish. it is a difficult thing to stand up, we need a way of identifying lorries, you would have to corral them at a particular area and escort them past other traffic to get onto the ferry. it is quite a complicated thing to pull off. quite difficult to do on that scale. so the answer is no, it is not something that is realistic at the moment. the right thing to do is clear the backlog and get things moving again. we clear the backlog and get things moving again-— clear the backlog and get things movin: aaain. ~ ., ., ., moving again. we have heard from transort moving again. we have heard from transport companies _ moving again. we have heard from transport companies carrying i moving again. we have heard from| transport companies carrying meat, one chap was carrying quite large quantities of lamb over the channel

and he said every minute counts. some of his drivers had been held up for 20 hours a day over. the goods were reducing in quality but his buyers might look elsewhere, so this affects the whole industry. it might be complicated and challenging, but he would say, we have to do it? taste he would say, we have to do it? we need to he would say, we have to do it? 2 need to get the queues down and get things moving normally again and thatis things moving normally again and that is the focus, that is the priority. things are now moving in the right direction so this is a temporary problem caused by a surge of traffic because of the easter period commencement. it is not realistic to stand up some kind of prioritisation system and it is very, very difficult to manage. we did look at it previously in the context of perishable fish, but it is quite difficult to do on that kind of scale and what we need to do is get the traffic moving again to solve the problems. flan

is get the traffic moving again to solve the problems.— solve the problems. can we talk about milk. _ solve the problems. can we talk about milk, the _ solve the problems. can we talk about milk, the price _ solve the problems. can we talk about milk, the price of- solve the problems. can we talk about milk, the price of milk? i solve the problems. can we talk. about milk, the price of milk? we have been hearing from farmers this morning he was talking about costs going up, whether it is feed, fertiliser, energy and transport and a prediction this morning the price of a pint of milk could go up by 50% in the weeks ahead. as people have their breakfast this morning and for their breakfast this morning and for the milk on the cereal, they will be thinking, something else going up so massively in price. do you accept it is a realistic possibility, 50% increase in the price of milk? t increase in the price of milk? 1 don't think a 50% increase is don�*t think a 50% increase is realistic. but there are undoubtedly going to be pressures on food prices, caused mainly by the high gas price, it means higher energy costs, higher diesel costs for tractors on farms and higher fertiliser cost. many farmers are having to pass it through the system. there has been work done by the institute of grocery association

and they said it will rise about six to 8%. in some counties it could be high in that, but 50% in retail prices is highly unlikely, but we are likely to see some food inflation between now and the end of the summer. we inflation between now and the end of the summer-— the summer. we have been hearing from a dairy — the summer. we have been hearing from a dairy farm _ the summer. we have been hearing from a dairy farm this _ the summer. we have been hearing from a dairy farm this morning i the summer. we have been hearing from a dairy farm this morning on i from a dairy farm this morning on the programme and he said he helped restaurants, eve helped bars and eve did furlough, what will you do to help the farming industry now we are up help the farming industry now we are up against it. help the farming industry now we are up against it— up against it. when i was first minister, _ up against it. when i was first minister, the _ up against it. when i was first minister, the dairy _ up against it. when i was first minister, the dairy industry i up against it. when i was first. minister, the dairy industry was very difficult position and farmers were getting a price for milk and often 15 or 16p per litre. 2o were getting a price for milk and often 15 or 16p per litre. 20 to 25p per litre was basically as good as it got. we have seen prices recover for farmers since then. first of

all, it is 32p a litre, many farmers will now be getting close to aop a litre. overall, the dairy industry has recovered, but it is true they do have further cost pressures at the moment, and that will increase the moment, and that will increase the price but it is important to look at it in the context how farming has improved over the last five years. t farming has improved over the last five ears. , , ., , ., five years. i guess the trouble for ou and five years. i guess the trouble for you and the _ five years. i guess the trouble for you and the government - five years. i guess the trouble for you and the government right i five years. i guess the trouble for. you and the government right now, while we all think about the cost of a pint of milk and our energy bills going up, the headlines are all about the chancellor, the man in charge of the economy, and his tax status and his wife's tax status and talk about their wealth and practices in the past. can you understand why people feel really angry about this at a time when their own personal circumstances also strapped 7 their own personal circumstances also strapped? i their own personal circumstances also strapped?— their own personal circumstances

northern england. in between there will be some sunshine around the between six in lerwick and i7 will be some sunshine around the between six in lerwick and 17 in london. but it will feel cooler with the south—easterly winds across the north sea coastline. to this evening and overnight offers band of rain continues to push steadily northwards and then we have our second run, both having the odd rumble of thunder. winds will be lighter but having said that, around the rain and winds will be gusty and temperatures in lerwick falling away to [i temperatures in lerwick falling away to 4 degrees. in cardiff, falling away to ten and helier, ii. to 4 degrees. in cardiff, falling away to ten and helier, 11. as we head into wednesday, we do have this clutch of france moving northwards, all of them bringing some rain and low pressure still in charge. the rain putting into northern scotland and coming up across parts of wales, northern ireland, northern england and continuing itsjourney into scotland as well. but it also curls back into east anglia and the south—east, so on tuesday the brightest conditions will be out

towards the west and they will be some showers around, but the winds will be lighter so it will not feel as cool along the north sea coastline is today. top temperatures ranging from six in the north to 17 in london and the average at this time of year is about ten to 13 north to south. into tuesday and wednesday we hang onto this milder air. it is coming up from north africa so on tuesday might see some sahara dust. a lot of cloud coming in the west, some mist and temperature range in the east it will be six to 18 degrees. high pressure starts to take charge of the weather. there will be mist and fog overnight into wednesday morning, could see that on thursday as well and the weather front waiting in the rings. the brightest conditions will be in some parts of the east, but a lot of cloud around with some splashes of rain coming

into western areas and temperatures, here they are ranging from eight to about 19 degrees. that says it all. what a weekend of sport? they had all seasons across the four days at the masters. but scottie scheffler did eke out his win. it was convincing in the end. there was a bit of a wobble on the 18th, made us feel better about what we do on the green. he brought it home by three shots and rory mcilroy, how good was he? for a moment we dared

to dream he might pull it off. the grand slam, he needs to win the masters to do it. so popular in the us but he just fell short. nearly got the course record, 64 in the final round. but he had too much to do. rory mcilroy left it too late as american scottie scheffler won the masters by three shots to win take his first major. our sports correspondent andy swiss has more. he's the world number one and now he's the masters champion for scottie scheffler, golf at the moment is about as good as it gets. but only after seeing off a quite remarkable challenge, rory mcilroy had begun the day some ten shots behind. no chance, surely? but mcilroy conjured one of the rounds of his life, saving the very best until last. just watch this... on the final hole, he needed something special — and boy, did he get it! how's the pace? come on, then, round you come. get in there, mcilroy! it was the stuff of golfing dreams.

a remarkable round of 64 for mcilroy. suddenly he was scheffler�*s nearest rival, and the american still had to play his closing holes. would he falter? well, not a bit of it. as scheffler kept his cool and pulled clear. he was able to walk down the 18th with victory assured and despite a few nerves as he twice missed a short putt... ..finally, it was third time lucky. there it is. triumph for the 25—year—old texan, then, after an unforgettable day. nothing is safe out there on the back nine of this golf course. i have heard what everyone says, it doesn't start until the back nine on sunday, anything can happen. don't hit in the water on 12, all that stuff. i blocked most of that out and tried to execute and take my golf shots. for scheffler, a first major title, and on this showing, it's unlikely to be his last.

andy swiss, bbc news. it was talked up as one of the most significant premier league games in recent years — and manchester city against liverpool did not disappoint. it finished two all at the etihad with one point still separating the sides at the top of the table. city taking the lead afterjust five minutes thanks to kevin de bruyne's deflected goal. liverpool equalised, city went ahead again before the break. but the visitors flew out of the blocks on the restart. it tookjust 60 seconds for sadio mane to draw liverpool level. city stay top with seven games to play. kemar roofe scored a hat—trick for rangers in their 4—0 win at st mirren. but the goal of the game was this one from joe aribo. rangers are running out of games to catch celtic at the top of the scottish premiership — they're six points behind, with five to play. france are keeping pace with england at the top of the women's six nations table.

the french thrashed scotland by 28—8 — laure sansus scoring two tries in a brilliant first half performance. they still have a 100% record as do england. scotland have lost all three of their matches. ireland have their first win of the competition — they beat italy 29—8 in cork — katie o'dwyer with their final try. a much needed win for ireland. thank you. it's nearly five years since 22 people — many of them young music fans — were murdered by a suicide bomber at an ariane grande concert in manchester. one of them was martyn hett, whose dad paul has been sharing his memories for a new documentary, which is on itv tonight. 2017 was going to be a very big yearfor martyn. life couldn't have been better. he'd got lots of plans. one of the main things

that he was planning was an eight week trip to america. i said, "if you don't keep in touch with me, i'll write you out of the will. "because you're in america, on your own, we'll be worried to death about you". "oh, don't worry, i'll keep in touch with you". and we gave him a big hug and sadly that was the last time we saw him. paul hettjoins us now. good morning, thank you for coming in. i know it is not something you have spoken about an awful lot publicly about martyn and what happened, but what do you want people to know now about martyn himself, tell us about your boy? he was an himself, tell us about your boy? he: was an incredible guy. he was so full of life, so effervescent and he inspired everyone he came in contact with. he was an amazing lad, he really was. with. he was an amazing lad, he really was-— with. he was an amazing lad, he reall was. . . , ~ ., really was. was he always like that, from when he _

having a chat. that was as the bomb exploded. another missed opportunity was the senior british transport police officer, he should have been at the arena by the time the concert was finishing. he is under investigation at the moment as to why he didn't get there, but what he did say in evidence was, had he had been there he would have taken the position up on the mezzanine floor, because that is where he always stood and that is exactly where salman brady was hiding and that is very difficult to deal with. —— salman bd. very difficult to deal with. -- salman bd-_ very difficult to deal with. -- salman bd. ~ . ., ~ , salman bd. what do you think can be learned from — salman bd. what do you think can be learned from this _ salman bd. what do you think can be learned from this and _ salman bd. what do you think can be learned from this and what _ salman bd. what do you think can be learned from this and what changes l learned from this and what changes do you want?— learned from this and what changes do ou want? ., . . , do you want? from what we have seen, there has been — do you want? from what we have seen, there has been a _ do you want? from what we have seen, there has been a lot _ do you want? from what we have seen, there has been a lot of _ do you want? from what we have seen, there has been a lot of changes - there has been a lot of changes already made, particularly in respect of the cheques and bag

checks. one thing i would like to say on the issue of m15, what they have said is they have such a workload, we are well aware, they have thousands of people of interest. they are saying the workload was too much and that is why these meetings didn't take place when they should have done. if there aren't enough resources, that is what they are saying, the government should be held accountable. whilst there may be cutbacks that have to be made in these times, national security shouldn't be one of them. let's end by talking about martyn. if you are not going to speak publicly again, let's leave you with the last words to talk about your son. i bet you are thinking about him when you are at the concert the other night and imagining him there? i was and we are always going to miss him. you never knew what he was going to do next. he was so busy all

of the time, on the night of the concert i didn't even know that he was at the concert. basically, i had left my phone at my business. i went to work very early the next morning and in the car, that was the first i heard about the bombing. i remember, this was around six o'clock in the morning and it is 19 people had been confirmed killed. i remember thinking, how awfulfor confirmed killed. i remember thinking, how awful for these families, it is terrible. when i got there, i thought i had better check my e—mails. we got a text message saying, we don't want to worry you but martyn was at the concert than he is missing. that was in the middle of the night and it turns your world upside down. in a split second, everything _ your world upside down. in a split second, everything changed. - your world upside down. in a split i second, everything changed. thank you for coming in this morning. "worlds collide: the manchester

bombing" is on itv tonight and thursday night, at 9:00pm. stay with us, headlines coming up.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. our headlines today. emmanuel macron will face the far—right challenger marine le pen in a run—off for the french presidency, a rerun of the vote of five years ago. ukraine's president zelensky warns of big battles to come against russian forces in the east of the country. after questions about his wife's tax affairs, chancellor rishi sunak asks for an official review of his financial declarations. another week, another warning of an increase in the cost of staples. this time dairy farmers saying we must pay more for milk or can expect shortages on the shelves.

after that fairy—tale ending, taking first place in his last race, sam waley—cohen talks to us about winning the grand national. he's raised millions for research into motor neurone disease, inspired by the diagnosis of his friend and team mate rob burrow. kevin sinfield will tell us about the latest challenge that you can get involved in. good morning. a much milder start to the day today than it was yesterday, a fair bit of cloud around, some sunshine, some showers are some of which are thundery and gusty winds, but it is going to get milder through the week. it's monday the 11th of april. our main story. emmanuel macron will face the far right leader marine le pen in a tight stand—off to lead the country in the french presidential election. yesterday's first round saw

mr macron secure the most votes but ms le pen's share has grown. with almost all of the results declared, let's take a look at the numbers. mr macron won more than 27 % of the votes, with ms le pen four points behind on 23, and far left candidatejean—luc melenchon was in third place. our europe correspondent jessica parker has more from paris. "i'm counting on you," says emmanuel macron. he may have topped the first round, and they are happy, but a note of caution as this fight enters a new phase. translation: don't make a mistake, this isn't over. l the debate we are going to have over the next 15 days is decisive for our country and for europe. his opponent enjoyed a recent rise in the polls. far right candidate marine le pen. her policies include a ban on the muslim headscarf in public places, but she's tried

to soften her image and show she's ready for high office. translation: what will happen of the 24th of april is not just . a vote about conditions, it's a matter of society. even of civilisation. critics call le pen's policy programme racist. her supporters say it's macron whose time is up. in 2017, people voted for macron because he was new and we didn't know him so everyone was like, well, let's try it. we tried it and it was awful. macron has been accused of being barely visible at points in this campaign. too focused on international issues to notice people's struggles at home. do you think emmanuel macron has been too complacent so far? idon't think so. i think he was at work, trying to protect his people, trying to tackle very in depth crisis. but we need to work, we need to show what is our project,

we need to be in the campaign, we need to explain. there is huge relief here tonight for supporters of emmanuel macron but acknowledgement too there is work to be done. they are cheering now whilst marine le pen's campaign has given them a scare. hot off the press, left—leaning paper liberation. familiarfaces. these were the final two candidates last time. but five years on, the political picture is different and things can move fast. there's two weeks to go. jessica parker, bbc news in paris. our correspondent anna holligan is in paris. so what is the all mean? it is beautiful sunny morning there. they fight one another again in the run—off, these two, but it is a very

different political backdrop. absolutely, there is a paris rematch but there is no side celebrating because they are both back on the campaign trail. everything to play for at this stage. marine le pen is trying to present herself as a unifier, she has softened her image, tried to detoxify a bit, and president macron, who has been largely invisible for many people, will now try to unpick the rebranding and highlight the issues that really concern a lot of voters here. things like her stance on europe, anti—immigration, she wants to ban the headscarf. she has been talking about breeding cats, being a single mother, softening the image, but have they done enough, either side, to convince the voters that remain who voted for the far left candidates, melenchon, all the others on either side, that they can put their vote with somebody that they do not want to be president? i

will give you a quick look at the front pages. le figaro, the new jewel, that is the same as 2017. marine le pen is slightly closer going into this. they will be focusing now on things like food and fuel prices. this is the left—leaning paper, this time it really sucks, it says. the 20th of april, we are expecting the final tv debate, all eyes will be on that. it will be a frenetic couple of weeks. thank you very much for now. let's get the latest from ukraine. president zelensky has warned ukrainians to prepare for russia to launch what he calls "even larger operations in the east". in a speech posted on social media, he also accused russia of catastrophic cowardice. our correspondent danjohnson is in the western city of lviv. eastern ukraine has already suffered

horrendously, and it sounds like there could be more to come that is even worse. there could be more to come that is even worse-— even worse. absolutely, there has been intense _ even worse. absolutely, there has been intense fighting _ even worse. absolutely, there has been intense fighting there - even worse. absolutely, there has been intense fighting there since i been intense fighting there since the start of the invasion and that is a part of ukraine which has been effectively at waters eight years ago, —— at warfor the last effectively at waters eight years ago, —— at war for the last eight years. people have been to leave immediately under the expectation they will be the focus of the new military strategy from russia, there is a new command structure in place for russian forces in ukraine and they are reorganising and focusing on those eastern regions. we have seen extra evacuation trains laid on in the last 24 hours to try and get people out of donetsk and luhansk, to places safer like lviv, and volunteers here are preparing to receive more refugees. the president doesn't want people to get the idea that things are, around kyiv so the war is over, he is expecting huge

battles in the east so he wants more military support to keep up the defence. the russians are equipping and rearming and he was the ukrainian forces to be able to dig in and assessed. —— he wants them. the death toll from the attack on the railway station in kramatorsk on friday has risen this morning to 57 so even people trying to flee and get out of those eastern regions, they know what a difficult journey that can be, the risks they face and the expectation is that we will see further loss of life in the east as the attacks intensified.- further loss of life in the east as the attacks intensified. thank you ve much the attacks intensified. thank you very much indeed. _ the chancellor, rishi sunak, has asked for an independent review of all the declarations of interests he's made since becoming a minister following scrutiny over his wife's tax arrangements. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now. he didn't have to ask for this investigation, so why has he done so? ~ ., , investigation, so why has he done so? . , ,, .~ investigation, so why has he done so? . . , ., ., investigation, so why has he done so? . , ,, ., , so? what rishi sunak has done is written a letter _ so? what rishi sunak has done is written a letter to _ so? what rishi sunak has done is written a letter to boris _ so? what rishi sunak has done is written a letter to boris johnson i written a letter to borisjohnson

asking the prime minister to ask his independent adviser on ministerial interests to cast an eye over all the declarations of ministerial interests that rishi sunak has done over the last few years. you can see why he has done this, the seal of approvalfrom an why he has done this, the seal of approval from an independent figure could help him to draw a line under this whole controversy. also rishi sunak�*s team feel that in his career he has volunteered more information to the civil servants and the colleagues around him about his and his family? interest than he is obliged to as the bare minimum so that being better known route in their view help their case. but that does draw as prime minister into this which is a downside for the prime minister, it calls into his question hisjudgment and prime minister, it calls into his question his judgment and what he will decide to do. and it means that the stories in the headlines for another day or two and some conservative backbenchers thought it was starting to disappear. labour have also written to the prime minister as well, the deputy leader

angela rayner making accusations that rishi sunak reach to the ministerial code which is the rule book by which ministers are meant to live and work by. the government will have to respond to angela rayner�*s letter as well meaning that the story will continue for another couple of days even though rishi sunak wants to be getting back to business. we havejust had sunak wants to be getting back to business. we have just had a sunak wants to be getting back to business. we havejust had a press release from the treasury talking about the economics statistics for the second quarter of 2022 and he is visiting the north—east of england today, so he will be trying to get on with the job and hope this blows over. a, on with the 'ob and hope this blows over. �* , ' on with the 'ob and hope this blows over. ~ , , ., .. over. a stuffed intro for the prime minister this _ over. a stuffed intro for the prime minister this morning. _ over. a stuffed intro for the prime minister this morning. thank - over. a stuffed intro for the prime minister this morning. thank you, i minister this morning. thank you, adam. let's go to carol with the weather. there is some sunshine around but a lot of cloud, you can see both in the highlands this morning. we have got some bands of rain following

north, three of them, the third one is producing a lot of thunderstorms around the isles of scilly and west cornwall. this band will continue to push north through the day taking rain through wales, part of the midlands and northern ireland, some could be heavy. cloud up as the rain further north starts to peter out. it is going to be a windy day, these are the average wind speeds. the guests will be noticeable in the west coast with exposure but inland, looking at gusts between 30 to 35 miles an hour. it's coming from the south—east sew along the east coast it will feel cooler. inland, 11 to 17 degrees but in the cold air across the northern isles. this evening and overnight, the first band of rain heads north but then the second rain comes in and that will have some potential of thunder. a lot of cloud but not particularly cold. tomorrow we continue with the

rain moving northwards, it will curl back into the east and the south—east. note the temperatures over the next few days. in london on thursday we could hit 20 degrees. thank you very much. first came the seven marathons in seven days. next it was running from leicester to leeds in just 24 hours. it wasn't us doing this! the rugby league kevin sinfield took on both of those gruelling feats to support his great friend and former leeds rhinos team—mate, rob burrow, who has motor neurone disease. well, guess what. super kev�*s got another challenge up his sleeve and this time he wants you to take part. 0h, oh, no! not me! maybe you. and take one. rob burrow, where do we start? he's a joker.

a persevering, resilient little so—and—so. we spend a lot of time laughing. us both having that glint in our eyes. i we do well together. the banter that we have with him, itjust lifts you. a bundle of energy, almost like a bouncy ball. pound for pound, probably the strongest player we had in the squad. you look at this young fellow, doesn't look like he's grown l since he was in the under tens, and a game like rugby league, i he rewrote the rules _ about what a rugby league player should look like. what everybody thought i was his weakness became this his biggest strength. oldham is my town and pontefract is his town. but leeds is both of our cities. the people of leeds, they treat him like a king. my dad is obviously from leeds. when he got chose to play for leeds, it was just a massive thing. he's just leeds through and through.

i love you, leeds. the people of leeds are genuine, honest. they stick by you through the good and bad, as we have seen with rob, over the last couple of years, the support has been incredible. and i don't think there's a person in leeds who doesn't know who rob burrow is and isn't inspired by him. he's been so brave and courageous, how he's attacked what mnd has brought to him and his family. he's the one, obviously, battling with this horrendous disease. but the way that he's helped us as a family has just been incredible. he's the strongest one. rugby is not big enough to- have the influence that rob has had. rob has transcended it, he's blown it away. - the rob burrow marathon is going to be incredible. it's unbelievable, isn't it? i can't even, like, i don't know what rob must feel. but we can't get over that. it's absolutely fantastic.

marathons for me symbolically are the physical manifestation of a story. it's got a start, it's got a middle and it's got a finish. but it's also got to have something in there that drives you to get through it because it's not easy. 7,777 places which i'm i incredibly proud about. the number seven is famous - because it was rob's squad number. there's so many other people out there that want to and support i and share what rob has done. it's so important for us to have a marathon in rob's name and in leeds. it's a real battle of perseverance and endurance and everybody is running that race for a completely different reason. we are all fighting a fight, we're all running a race. we needed something that had some legs, pardon the pun, _ but had some legs to go all year after year after year. _ you asked me the question, what does rob burrow mean to me? where do i start? courageous, brave, inspirational.

he'sjust special. he's a superb dad, he's a fantastic brother, he'sjust fab. even in the most adverse, horrendous times, there's always hope, there is always positivity, there's always things that we can do. and he'll keep fighting and he'll keep battling and showing - people the way of how to attack this disease. | rob is pretty perfect, to be honest. i think he's a hero to everyone. in my own mind, the rob burrow marathon is a way for people - to show how much they care. kevin sinfield joins us now. morning. so, you said, what you want a marathon — morning. so, you said, what you want a marathon to — morning. so, you said, what you want a marathon to represent _ morning. so, you said, what you want a marathon to represent so _ morning. so, you said, what you want a marathon to represent so tell- morning. so, you said, what you want a marathon to represent so tell us - a marathon to represent so tell us why you chose a marathon in this

dame cressida dick resigned after sadiq khan said he'd lost confidence in herfollowing a number of scandals leading to criticism of the force. a new commissioner will be appointed in the summer. i want to put on record my thanks to cressida dick for her almost four decades of public service, mainly in london. in the recent past, working with others, she's helped us reduce violent crime, but it's time now for somebody who understands london, understands our city, understands and recognises the challenges the police faces and takes steps to address that. a police officer has been injured by a man wielding a machete in east london. emergency services were called to skelton road in forest gate yesterday at about midday. the metropolitan police force said it was believed a man was "suffering a mental health crisis". the officer was taken to hospital for a slash wound to his arm. his condition is not life threatening. as the cost of living rises, finance—savvy londoners are turning to 'life hacks' to save money.

some have been giving bbc london their top tips including using eco shower heads, cutting down on subscriptions and finding cheaper ways to travel. you have to think about small things like how many cups of tea you are making in the day. i will boil the kettle once in the morning, put it in a warm flask. rather than spending 15 minutes in the bath or shower, i'm spending ten minutes. i also have started using the santander bikes. and with it being the school holidays — we'll be speaking to thejournalist behind 'cheapskate london' on our 6.30 programme this evening. kate samuelson will give us a guide to the best free events in london this easter. let's take a look at the tubes. there are severe delays on the metropolitan line. the overground is part suspended between harrow & wealdstone and watford junction. onto the weather now with sara thornton. good morning to you. we've had some really frosty starts over the weekend in our suburbs, some really quite cold air with us,

but not so this morning, yet it feels cool out there but temperatures well above freezing and sunshine at first through the day today. but our weather is coming up from the south, we will see a bit of cloud coming in by the end of the day. crucially, it is a lot warmer than it has been with temperatures in the mid to high teens today. overnight tonight we have some cloud to push in and into the early hours of tomorrow morning, some possibly heavy, possibly thundery but broken rain which will be with us to start things off tomorrow morning. not again, a chilly start tomorrow. here is the complicated frontal system picture for tomorrow. further outbreaks of rain tomorrow but after that a lot of fine and settled weather, we've got high pressure for the middle part of the week. and with our winds at the moment coming in from the south that really lifting our temperatures. so well above where we have been through the weekend, we are talking about temperatures in the mid to high teens over the next couple of days, the peak of which looks to be wednesday when we could see 20 degrees and it looks fine into the bank holiday weekend. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour.

now though it's back tojon and sally. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. it is just after it isjust after 8.30. it's nearly eight weeks since russia invaded ukraine — forcing more than four million people to flee their homes. some of them are hoping to come to the uk but so far only 12,000 have arrived — and that's partly down to delays in granting visas. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin went to aberfeldy — in the scottish highlands — which is ready to become a safe haven for dozens of ukrainians, but the backlog is causing growing frustration. aberfeldy waits. this is the town which wants to open its hearts and homes to ukrainian refugees. we're getting mary and mike.

she's actually mariana and he's michaele. everybody here is sponsoring a family, 22 families in all, over 55 ukrainians. do they have their visas yet? she has hers. but almost a month after the homes for ukraine scheme launched, not a single refugee has arrived. no, i'm getting a bit fed up waiting. 0ksana is the lady we will be hosting with her three—year—old daughter. have you got a visa? no. we have the lovely maria and her two little boys. they're living in one of these shelters and sleeping - on the floor so fingers crossed they will be over soon. - when did she apply? a few weeks ago. very frustrating, because we've got everything in place. in the pub, chat is about how increasingly desperate families are. it's really, really embarrassing, it's angering. i'm actually sad at this point because i'm one of the volunteers who speaks to all of the refugees,

and they're sitting in limbo in other countries and they're running out of money. we've been paired with a lady called alina. vicky tells me alina has travelled alone from ukraine to poland and now on to switzerland as she waits for her uk visa. she said to me, which i thought was really sad, she felt like a coward for leaving. sorry, i get quite emotional about it. there's no update with your family? unfortunately not. you have spoken to them? yes, we spoke last week. she ended up in tears on the phone to me. what she said to me was, itjust seems like the british government doesn't want us. but we do, we will do all we can. these are frustration their local council is acutely aware of. there are a couple of key checks we have to do and those are disclosure checks and then the accommodation checks. however we absolutely recognise that the visa process has taken a bit of time. residents will be arriving,

guests will be arriving quite soon and if we haven't managed to get these done, then that won't hold us back. we will do them after the residents arrived here in aberfeldy. and that is a bit of a change of policy and that's going to speed things up? it absolutely will speed things up. valentina arrived in aberfeldy as a refugee 24 years ago from bosnia. today he, his dad and their neighbours wait to help in another crisis. i'm hopeful, that we know that we will get it done. we need to get moving. we see the tv every day, and it's getting worse and worse. more than 4 million people have left ukraine looking for refuge. only 1200 have found that refuge here under the homes for ukraine scheme. that is less than 3% of the total number to apply. you still haven't had your visa? no, nothing still. in linda's house, we

catch up with tatiana. the first to accept aberfeldy�*s invitation, the first to apply for a visa almost a month ago. you can't stay where you are any more, can you? you've run out of time? no, of course, no. well, it's been a month. i mean, people here were more than generous. they let us live here for the whole month. that's the last day and tomorrow we are moving out. the not knowing must be the worst. sadly, yes. this tatiana is the first aberfeldy refugee to be granted a visa. she, herfriend maria and their two children left their town just north of mariupol after it was bombed. so, we had no electricity, no heating, no water. we had nothing at all, not even glass in the windows. and we just couldn't stay there any longer. i'm very relieved and happy that you'll be able to be with us soon,

tatiana, and i hope you'll feel very safe here. i'm very grateful for all your support you are giving me, and for all your help, thank you very much. she will now wait for the whole group to get visas before making the journey here to scotland, to secretary. to scotland, to sanctuary. the government say the aim is to process applications in two to three days. on friday, priti patel apologised for delays. what we're seeing is the sort of worst possible of human nature and the best. you know, what aberfeldy has demonstrated is that that's very alive and well, that kind of spirit. and our governmentjust seem to be completely out of step. it's not beyond the wit of man to get desperate people out of a desperate situation into homes that are ready and willing and that disconnect that linda hasjust been talking about between the government and the population is so far

out of kilter with us. it's gaping. this is where they want to be. so far, only five of the 55 aberfeldy visa applications have been granted, so tatiana's young family and the town continue to wait. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. what a community, brilliant people. beautiful place, beautiful, safe place to come to. hopefully we will follow those people as they arrive in the coming weeks. it's world parkinson's day today and one of the people who has spoken really openly and honestly to breakfast about this cruel disease is the former england rugby player mike tindall. mike's dad phil has been living with parkinson's for two decades, and last year he told me how that had impacted his family. all right, father. hello, mike.

i've brought you a very, very, very chocolatey chocolate cake. i know that diet is your key. all right? thanks. you wobbly today? yes, i'm a wobbly today. you a bit wobbly? a bit wobbly, yeah. you all right? yeah, not bad. how's evrything else? he would love to play ball with the grandkids. he'd love to be able to pick them up, throw them around. well, i don't like the thought that i've got an incurable condition. and as i'm going to gradually get worse and worse and worse because i was one of those, i always liked my fitness and conditioning. i was the one who wouldn't drop the ball, i would always catch the ball, you know? and this was now not happening. i was beginning to fumble things, and that isn't me. i didn't think it was me. it's me to a t now. mike tindalljoins us now.

good morning. lovely to see you. it's quite nice, we couldn't hug last time. it's quite nice, we couldn't hug last time-— it's quite nice, we couldn't hug last time-_ ll it's quite nice, we couldn't hug i last time._ i went last time. how is your dad? i went u . last time. how is your dad? i went u- and last time. how is your dad? i went up and saw — last time. how is your dad? i went up and saw him — last time. how is your dad? i went up and saw him yesterday - last time. how is your dad? i went up and saw him yesterday and - last time. how is your dad? i went up and saw him yesterday and had i up and saw him yesterday and had dinner with him and my brother and alice and george, wanted me to mention them today. good morning. it was nice to see him, he is all right, battling on. good days with drugs, bad days. what a lot of people don't know it is a massive concoction of drugs he has to take. you are always having define quality—of—life, that means tweaking things and if they don't work, it goes really bad, or it can really improve. working with the doctors trying to cure parkinson's and trying to cure parkinson's and trying to cure parkinson's and trying to find what is best for him all of the time and manipulate things around a bit. constantly changing. _
