6:01 am
hello, good morning. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far and it's going to be warm today and tomorrow with lots of sunshine. later on easter sunday, there will be some rain coming into western areas but i will have all of the details later on. it's saturday the 16th of april. our top story: russia has warned ukraine's allies to stop supplying weapons to the country, saying it could have "unpredictable consequences". moscow has also threatened to step up attacks on the area around the capital kyiv after an missile factory there was destroyed yesterday. our correspondent helena wilkinson has the latest. this was once one of russia's most prized warships, now the moskva lies at the bottom of the black sea. it is a huge blow to the country and its naval power. ukraine claimed it hit the cruiser with two missiles.
6:02 am
russia denied this, saying an explosion on board caused it to sink. the country held a ceremony to mourn its loss. for ukrainians, the sinking of the warship is a morale boost. many have queued to buy this stamp, showing a ukrainian border guard defiantly standing up to the vessel. but they have already been repercussions. russia says it hit a military facility outside the ukrainian capital — and attack seen as retaliation. it has threatened more strikes on kyiv if ukraine attacks russian territory. the kremlin has also issued a warning to the united states and its allies, saying supplying further arms to ukraine would add fuel to the conflict and could lead to unpredictable consequences. but president zelensky has issued another call for world leaders to buck the ukrainian effort with

helena wilkinson, bbc news. our correspondent danjohnson is in the western city of lviv. good morning to you. i understand overnight and in many places across ukraine, those asi rents have been sounding again. tell us what's happened. —— air sirens. sounding again. tell us what's happened. —— airsirens. we sounding again. tell us what's happened. -- air sirens. we have had air raid alert — happened. -- air sirens. we have had air raid alert since _ happened. -- air sirens. we have had air raid alert since it _ happened. -- air sirens. we have had air raid alert since it is _ happened. -- air sirens. we have had air raid alert since it is across - air raid alert since it is across ukraine, although he in the vive, one of the longest we have had in the past week or so, the air raid sirens were in place here for about one hour and a half and there are reports of explosions on the edge of the city and the edge of kyiv this morning as well. those are reports that have not been officially confirmed, i am that have not been officially confirmed, iam not that have not been officially confirmed, i am not able to verify those, but it may be russian attacks are stepping up. that's what was threatened from the russians and we saw evidence of yesterday. president zelensky last night was talking about the military losses, the number of soldiers that had been killed on each side. he has
6:05 am
consistently put losses to the russians much higher than his own forces, perhaps something that every leader does in war, and says ukrainian armed forces of loss between 2.5 — 3000 soldiers but the russians have lost between 19 and 20000 and the official russian is 1350 russian soldiers have died in the conflict and around 3800 injured. again, those figures are impossible for us to confirm but it gives you an idea of exactly how the losses have been presented to people as president zelensky tries to keep up as president zelensky tries to keep up the defence of his country. he says warrior paul has not been lost to the russians, despite renewed attacks there. —— mariupol. dan. attacks there. -- mariupol. dan, thank you _ attacks there. -- mariupol. dan, thank you very — attacks there. -- mariupol. dan, thank you very much. _ the united nation's refugee agency has described plans to send some asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda as a breach of international law.

6:15 am
the afternoon. cloud may bubble up in wales and northern england but it should stay dry. 19 to 20 degrees in england and wales. 22 in the south—east of england, 15 or 16 for northern ireland. 19 degrees around the murray firth. more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland than yesterday. clear skies as evening into the first part of the night in the cloud increasing across western areas that will bring rain towards northern ireland and into the western isles of scotland. ahead of that could be a bit cold tonight. temperatures could be four or five degrees early tomorrow morning. then this weather front tending to put into western areas, the area of high pressure getting shunted further away on sunday. for many, we start dry, lots of sunshine. more cloud bringing rain into northern ireland. the rain doesn't get much further across scotland and later in the day with the cloud bringing rain into western parts of wales in the far south—west of england. temperatures may be not as high as today in
6:16 am
scotland and northern ireland but very similar to today, 19 or 20 one before england and wales. easter monday, we will see some changes because those with fronts we are keeping an eye on continue to move east and following on from that, this is where we introduce some cooler air coming this is where we introduce some coolerair coming in this is where we introduce some cooler air coming in from the atlantic. there is not much rain on the weather front at all. it looks like a band of cloud for the most part. that move through on easter monday and we get some sunshine following stop the winds pick up in the north—west, blustery showers heading to northern ireland and western scotland but it will be a cooler day on that monday. the temperatures reaching 16 degrees at best. looking further ahead, tuesday will bring a mixture of sunshine but quite heavy showers around. dry as we head into wednesday but an easterly wind is developing next week, so he will not be quite as warm as we are expecting to be this weekend. 1. : .. warm as we are expecting to be this weekend. 1, : ,, :, i. warm as we are expecting to be this weekend. 1, : ,, :, y:, , , weekend. back to you. keep us u dated weekend. back to you. keep us updated on _ weekend. back to you. keep us updated on the i weekend. back to you. keep us updated on the flapjacks i weekend. back to you. keep us i updated on the flapjacks throughout the morning. look forward to that. thank you very much.
6:17 am
now on breakfast, it's time to look at this week's movie releases on the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through next week's cinema releases is anna smith. anna, what have we got this week? we've got a real mix, kind of something for everyone in a way. we've got upper operation mincemeat, which is the 19405 kind of wartime spy thriller starring colin firth and matthew mcfadden. then we're going to the jungle for the lost city. this is a romantic comedy with sandra bullock and channing tatum, quite different in flavour. and then finally, we are off to 17th—century italy for benedetta, which is the true—ish story of a lesbian nun from controversial director paul verhoeven. 0k. it's a pretty intriguing mix. let's kick off with
6:18 am
operation mincemeat, which was the subject of a book by ben macintyre. it's an absolutely incredible story, isn't it? it's an extraordinary story, and this is the first film based on that book. there have been other films and tv series about this, but it really is an incredible true story in world war ii, where british intelligence basically plotted to plant a body in the sea near spain with false documents to imply that the allies were going to be invading greece rather than sicily, so effectively, to put the nazis off the scent. and let's see a clip in a second where we see colin firth and matthew mcfadden kind of in shock that their plan mightjust be working. i may vomit. i may vomit with you. every piece of intelligence says the nazis are waiting for us in greece. and every piece of intelligence may be the greatest deception the nazis have ever
6:19 am
played against it. i why do you think churchill. still believes this can work? because he has to. so, historic dramas based on what feel incredibly current at the moment, don't they, and my children, i know, have been intrigued by this story for years. does the film do justice to the facts? i think the level of detail is fascinating, and i think that's what i found the strongest element of this, is the detail that you see that they go into. there are a lot of scenes with two secretaries that helped out, played by penelope wilton and kelly macdonald, and the four of them have this wonderful repartee. there's a love triangle you don't need. i wasn't interested in that, but i think in terms of that detail, it's told in quite a safe, plodding fashion. there's a lot of fairly obvious exposition. it's quite reverent to the subject matter. but i think if you just want to know how the story played out, it's all in there.
6:20 am
and, politically, is it coming from one particular point of view? well, it's a very patriotic british film, i would say. this isjohn madden, who gave us shakespeare in love. i mean, the producers of the king's speech, it's that sort of flavour. i wouldn't say it's up there with those kind of awards—worthy films, but it's a very safe bet if you like this kind of subject. and i think he's playing to the right kind of crowd with this film. because we've seen the darkest hour. we saw the king's speech eight years ago. i mean, these these films can really take off, and it sounds like maybe this one doesn't quite? i think it will play well in certain cinemas. i think for an older crowd, i think it's got a lot of appeal. i certainly found it pleasant viewing, interesting viewing. i thought sometimes when it attempted comedy, it didn't quite work 'cause it is tough subject matter to mine for comedy, but i think it's still a decent watch if you like the like the sound of it. and if you're a colin firth fan, of course, who is, well, who isn't? exactly. i'm definitely going to look this one up. thank you for that. let us move on now to something very different.
6:21 am
the lost city with a bit of harry potter, a bit of brad pitt. yeah. so, daniel radcliffe is in this as a sort of megalomaniac billionaire. so, he kidnaps loretta, who's played by the wonderful sandra bullock. loretta is a romantic novelist. she's actually an academic, but she's sort of fallen on hard time and she's writing steamy novels, and she does these sort of public book launches with her cover model played by channing tatum, who's really sending himself up this as the handsome himbo, and they just at the end of a book launch when daniel radcliffe's character kidnaps loretta and takes her off to the jungle, where he thinks that she can help him find some hidden treasure. this is a classic kind of hidden treasure story. think of films like romancing the stone from the '80s. this is the kind of flavour that we're looking at, something we haven't seen too much of until recently, and i actually think this genre is coming back, and i thoroughly enjoyed seeing these two actors in particular — channing tatum and sandra bullock — together, slightly flipping
6:22 am
the gender dynamic that you normally saw in those films. i mean, he's very clearly smitten with her. she thinks he's not bright enough for her. she's the smarter one, but she's very, very willing to send herself up. and there's something about sandra bullock that's always so relatable and delightful and very finessed with the comic timing. and she is brilliant at what she does, but she is she being the character that we sort of know and love herfor? yes, i mean, that's what we want sandra bullock to do. we want her to be intelligent, but slightly ditzy. we want her to be the friend or the person that you want to hang out with and kind of... but also, she produces this film, and she makes sure that it does something a little bit sharper, a little bit different in terms of gender. and brad pitt? brad pitt is so worth seeing this film for and definitely hold on till the end credits, watch the whole thing, but he plays the kind jack trainer. this kind of special ops kind of guru. because you see him with comedy so much, he's very good at when he does it. yeah. so i love to see him doing more, and he is indeed doing quite a bit more comedy.
6:23 am
but definitely brad pitt steals the show. 0k. a bit of light relief. it's like we all need that. i think benedetta, this is very striking to look at visually, isn't it? it's a stunning looking film. it is hard to describe. it's from director paul verhoeven, who, of course, gave us basic instinct, showgirls and more recently, the rather more thoughtful film l. but he's kind of still known for those tawdry films. it's a french language film based on the true story and the book set in the 17th—century italy. and it stars virginie figure as benedetta. now, she is a young girl who claims to have visions. she's very religious. she's devout. she's sent to a convent where she meets a young girl and they develop a controversial relationship. let's have a look at a clip.
6:24 am
i mean, there were lots of controversial elements of blasphemy and sex and power. at what point does it tip into vulgarity, do you think? vulgarity, i think in the erotic scenes, perhaps it does, but very knowingly. i mean, paul verhoeven always has this tongue in his cheek. and, you know, this is an element of satire and knowingness in this in how ridiculously over the top it is. i don't think anyone's expecting it to be fully, historically accurate. it's never dull. what i will say is it's never dull. i had some problems — problems with it from a feminist perspective, i'm sure many religious people will have problems with it,
6:25 am
but it is interesting film—making. it's going to be offensive? i think if you think it's going to be offensive to you, you'll know and you won't go to see it. i don't think anyone that goes to see this, knowing paul verhoeven and knowing what we've just seen is going to be surprised by what they see. they're going partly for shock value, but also, charlotte rampling's in this. it's a great exploration of power dynamics as well. i mean, you know, i definitely have my issues with it, but still really glad i saw it. found it very entertaining. and i do think it's worth watching if you're interested in cinema. and also, that story. it does look, as i said, visually very, very stunning, doesn't it? another movie that we're coming onto, marina, also looks beautiful. i went to see this again last night in the cinema because i only ever seen it on the small screen and i wanted to see it on the big screen. it's set in croatia on the dalmatian coast and absolutely beautiful. this is like going on a holiday, watching this film. you just remember what it's like to dive into the sea. absolutely stunning. i think i canjust about remember. yes, it's a long time ago for most of us.
6:26 am
so, it's a lovely story of a young girl who's a teenager and she's living at home with her parents, not really getting on well with her father, when a friend of the family, played by cliff curtis, comes to stay. and an interesting dynamic, she observes the way he's interacting with her parents, and we see through her eyes her finding out a little bit more about her parents' past and also becoming very intrigued by what she sees and perhaps intrigued by this man, thinking he's a very wealthy man. could he save her from the situation that she's in? but it's a young female director. it's also exec—produced by martin scorsese, and it's got a lot of weight behind it, this film. i think it's a stunning calling card for this director and really beautiful film to watch. uncomfortable moments, because you've got a young teenage girl with these two older men, a father and his friend. does it cross a line? it stays the right side, i think. and as i say, having a female gaze and the female director, it's very sympathetic towards her and it's never looking at her through their eyes. we're seeing the world through her eyes and she's trying
6:27 am
to figure herself out. but she's got quite a lot of agency and is getting more and more as the film carries on. it's emotionally intriguing. and emotionally intriguing. it's almost like a mystery thriller drama of a woman trying to operate in a patriarchal society, but also kind of having more opportunities than her mother did. so, it's fascinating. definitely one, again, i am very keen to go and see. now, flea. now, i've heard amazing things about this movie's fantastic film. many people will have seen it already, but it's out on dvd now, so worth revisiting. it was nominated for three oscars, which actually was ground—breaking at the time, because for doc animated and international film, and it's mostly animated. and it's a man narrating the story, a very emotional story about the fact that he was a refugee when he was a child from afghanistan, and he's now living in denmark, and he's about to get married, and he's telling his friend, the director, what he experienced, and the emotion in his voice
6:28 am
as he retells his story is extraordinary. and the animation really, really brings it to life beautifully with some other voice cast members. and i think it's testament to the power of the imagination and the power of the animation as well. when i look back and i remember this film, the first time i saw it, i was almost seeing it in live action in my mind because it was so vivid and so personal and it really puts you in this man's shoes. which is maybe you can do because it is animation. yes, it allows you to do things you couldn't do with live action. and, again, many people might want to see this 'cause of the timing. we've had this big uk government announcement on sending ukraine refugees to rwanda. we've got ukraine, obviously refugees flooding through through europe. but if you want to try and understand what it feels like, this is one to watch, although it's probably quite painful and difficult as well. it's harrowing in parts, but it feels like something we should all see. it's a timely watch. indeed, i agree. a really amazing mix of movies, anna. thank you so much for drawing that all together for us, and do tune in for more next time. thanks for watching. bye—bye.

winds pick up in the north—west and it was a blustery, heavy showers for northern ireland and western parts of scotland and for all of us on easter monday, it will be cooler, still very pleasant if you have the sunshine, a top temperature of around 16. look again tuesday quickly and wednesday, a day of sunshine on tuesday but heavy showers developing, more dry on wednesday but an easterly wind, not as cold as the easter weekend. back to you. when 13—year—old olly stephens was stabbed to death in reading last year, the attack was prompted by a dispute on social media. three young teenagers were convicted over the killing. now, his family has installed a huge wooden bench near the spot where olly was killed in the hope it will encourage teenagers to put away their screens and simply talk. alan sinclair reports. every time i come over here, it is hard because you get images of that day in your head. one of the reasons for putting this here is ali's

6:47 am
um, slippers? dogs — dog slippers! i wondered where that was going. ok, i did ask for crazy. well, look, do you remember the times when you bid on an item and you thought you were going to win the auction, and then in the dying few seconds, you were beaten by someone else? yes, they weren't real people, though, were they? no, they weren't. they were computer programmes designed to work really fast and beat you to the bid button, and i hated them. no—one did that to my dog slippers, though. can't imagine why. well, look, now, this idea is being used in new ways, and omar mehtab has been looking at the phenomenon of the scalpers. with the pandemic came lockdowns, and with the majority of the population stuck at home, we had nothing really to do...but buy. and so online spending went up. we bought clothes, hobby kits, sourdough starters, fire pits, hot tubs, gym equipment, anything to get us through it, and that includes gaming consoles like the brand—new ps5.
6:48 am
but there was a problem — the semiconductor shortage. the shortage of semiconductors... they don't have the semiconductors... what is that? simply put, they are the brains of modern electronics. so, they're in pretty much every product. electronics need them. cars, smart phones, laptops, gaming consoles. and so, with very few on the market, fans are trying websites to try and get them. however, there is money to be made. in come the scalpers. so, these are people who buy rare or sought—after items and resell them again at a higher price to make a profit. you've probably seen them outside of concerts, reselling tickets, or putting up a nice pair of shoes on ebay for double the price. but the modern scalper is a little bit different. they use internet bots — online software that's programmed
6:49 am
to do a certain task. so, that could be buying the first tickets available for a trip to majorca. telling me when the ferrari testarossa is under 100k. or telling me when the stock of ps5 appears on a website. and when you've got a bot, there's almost no limit to how many you could buy to allow you to resale. and the fact is, whether you like it or not, scalping and the use of stock check bots are legal. douglas, could you give a clap for me, please? this is douglas chapman, an mp leading the charge in proposing to ban the resale of gaming consoles purchased with automated bots. i think it's skewing the market beyond what's reasonable. you know, i think we need to look as well about what are the protections for the consumer, returns policy, for example, if something's not working properly,
6:50 am
you know, how does it affect guarantees? are they paying tax? are they paying vat? are they registered for vat? they're there purely trying to make a quick buck on the back of somebody who's desperate. it's just on the edge ethically, but it's also on the edge commercially, i think. this is jack, a scalper. he got into reselling years ago and made big money. for example, by flipping £150 yeezys for up to £1,000?! he's a former investment banker who used to make around 1,500 quid a month. and he's given up that dayjob. why? because since setting up aftermarket arbitrage, his reselling company, about 18 months ago, he claims that he's made £656,000 in revenue in subscriptions alone.
6:51 am
he helps others resell with a plethora of channels stacked with info, tutorials and advice on the social platform discord, which people pay at least a £30—a—month subscription to be a part of. his bots provide notifications to his 1,200 paying followers when a rare item is suddenly in stock, and he can even auto buy it if the bot is powerful enough. and with so many subscribers, you can see why scalping might be on the rise. however, these bots aren't easy to maintain. when i first started in, like, trainers, there was maybe, like, three bots, and now there is hundreds. a lot of the bots that have been developed are all by very young kids, and these are young entrepreneurs that are making a lot of money from producing this software. it gets very expensive to run a bot. this is what people don't think about. so we do that, we handle everything, and then you just sit back and wait for your success e—mail. but why does it get expensive to run a bot? because this is, like, where websites, for example, will put, like, anti—bot protection on a website. so, we have to use a lot of proxies. so, say you want to get 100
6:52 am
pairs of trainers from that one bot and you're on one ip, the website that you're trying to acquire the shoes from is going to know that you're bombarding their servers, and they're going to know what you're doing, 'cause it's not physically possible that there's100 people trying to spam that auto—checker — that 'add to basket�* button. so, what the bot will do is you buy proxies and it assigns, like, one proxy to one task. so it looks like these 100 tasks are in 100 different locations run by one person. so it means that it looks legit. legit — yeah. isn't that creating unfair competition? yeah, it is, but i think if you look at any marketplace and anywhere where you see a supply—and—demand issue, you're going to see people exploiting that. if there's an arbitrage opportunity, people are going to capitalise on that. it's like, why would you leave the money on the table? there will be people out there paying more than what they should do for these products. yeah. so, is that not morally reprehensible at the end of the day?
6:53 am
i don't...| wouldn't class not having a ps5 as suffering. like, i think that's a luxury. there is more than one reason someone would scalp. so, with his walls of xboxs and ps55 behind us, he wanted to show off how much he earned, but he did speak of others that got into scalping not for greed. so i spoke to a few of them. but because of what happened with jack, they didn't want to be filmed in fear of jack, they didn't want to be filmed infear of their jack, they didn't want to be filmed in fear of their safety. when i first started this journey, i thought it was a simple story about people making a quick buck. i didn't expect to find people struggling to
6:54 am
make ends meet. turning to scalping to help out. this minority does exist. you could argue they are not doing anything that wrong. currently this is legal. but should it be? quite a lot of the activity is either related to organised crime or its related to people trafficking. you know, i take your view that there are individuals out there where it's made a difference to their lives. but that's the reason as well we want the regulation. if they are entrepreneurs, they are living within the same rules as somebody who is setting up high—street shop. the somebody who is setting up high-street shop.— somebody who is setting up high-street shop. the bill has failed but _ high-street shop. the bill has failed but he i high-street shop. the bill has failed but he is i high-street shop. the bill has failed but he is renewing i high-street shop. the bill has failed but he is renewing it i high-street shop. the bill has i failed but he is renewing it again this year. there is no doubt that bots make scalping a lot more ferocious than it ever was, giving tech—powered resellers an edge that us, the consumers, can never compete with. so, what do you think? should it be outlawed?
6:55 am
hand—held gaming is really about more power. hand—held devices tend to double down on farm, pure gameplay experiences that don't rely on graphics so sharp that you cut yourself. that could be about to change as a result of this. this is a hand—held gaming pc. it has a grown—up feel to it. there's a 7—inch touchscreen and although it's quite big, it's reasonably comfortable to use over periods of time because it's not actually that heavy. gaming on pc relies on keyboard and mouse, which offers you an enormous
6:56 am
amount of options. on a hand—held, you just don't have the same kind of real estate, but the steam deck does have a plethora of control options. touchscreen, joysticks, haptic force feedback, touchpads, dpad, triggers, a, b, x, y, and grip buttons underneath. all of them combined to make a pc gaming experience on the move work. there weird thing about playing a game that you are so used to playing on keyboard and mouse is that with a controller in this kind of setup, it's not quite as comfortable, but the touchpad here is really making up for that lack of mouse. the big advantage that this machine has over most new devices is its enormous library of games. well, most consoles have to rely on a really strong launch line—up, like the switch with zelda: breath of the wild, or the ps5 with spider—man and things like that,
6:57 am
steam is launching with its own platform, with thousands upon thousands of games. that is something that no other console has ever been able to rely on, which puts it in such a unique position in the market. not all the games in that huge library are optimised for play on the steam deck. games like control or fallout: new vegas all work fine, though, even with the graphic settings maxed out. but maxing out the graphics has a drastic effect on battery life. valve say the steam deck�*s battery will run for eight hours on low—end games or simple tasks, but if you play graphics and processor intensive titles, expect that life to drop to something like two hours. valve is best known as a games company, and the steam store is by far the largest digital distribution platform as far as pc games are concerned. but its previous forays into hardware haven't always enjoyed the same success as its games.
6:58 am
they've had a disastrous time. they launched these things called steam machines that were sort ofjumped up pcs that didn't really have any benefit, they lost a bunch of money on vr headsets, with a thing called valve index. it's tried to make its own controller, that was kind of trying to make a mouse into a controller, which was very confusing and not that successful, but with this, it's sort of presenting its own version of the switch. how do you see the life—cycle for the steam deck? is it going to be like a console, where you change the machine every five years, or will it be more like a pc, where you upgrade over the course of the machine's life? oh, it's very much a pc and we approach it like a pc, some of the benefits that you get by having a fixed hardware target in the console market don't really translate to the traditional pc space. it's also starting to look at mobile specific opportunities to expand the pc gaming space. so if you look at something like pokemon go, it really has no analogue in the desktop computer, like the whole point of it is to be out and about. so the next stage for us —
6:59 am
what are the mobile specific opportunities? the steam deck isn't perfect, the device itself is lacking that premium feel, the plastics feel a little bit low end, and, as i've said, battery life can be variable. there are other hand—held pcs out there, but in terms of specification, they all cost quite a bit more than this does. pc gaming has endured several console life cycles and will no doubt evolve beyond the current console state—of—the—art. let's see if hand—held pc devices like this one are a new evolutionary branch to the long—standing pc story. but it is from us this week. find us on youtube. _ but it is from us this week. find us on youtube, instagram, i but it is from us this week. find us on youtube, instagram, facebook| but it is from us this week. find us i on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter. :. .. on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter. :, ,, , :, :, on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter. :, ,, :, :, : : twitter. thank you for watching. we will see you — twitter. thank you for watching. we will see you soon. i

good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. our headlines today: russia warns of "unpredictable consequences" if the west continues to supply ukraine with weapons, as it threatens to intensify bombing on the capital kyiv. plans to send asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda are a breach of international law, according to the un's refugee agency. bank holiday travel disruption continues after the aa dealt with more than 6,000 breakdowns in one day. we breakdowns in one day. are on the north wales coé the we are on the north wales coast for the first easter weekend in three years with just about no covid restrictions in force and believe it
7:01 am
or not, in some parts of the country, it will even be weather for ice cream! it's the modern rivalry in english football — manchester city and liverpool meet him again this time for a place in the fa cup final. hello, good morning. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far and it's going to be warm today and tomorrow with lots of sunshine. later on easter sunday, there will be some rain coming into western areas, but i'll have all of the details later on. it's saturday the 16th of april. our top story: russia has warned ukraine's allies to stop supplying weapons to the country, saying it could have "unpredictable consequences". moscow has also threatened to step up attacks on the area around the capital kyiv after a missile factory there was destroyed yesterday. our correspondent helena wilkinson has the latest. this was once one of russia's most prized warships. now, the moskva lies at the bottom of the black sea. it's a huge blow to the country
7:02 am
and its naval power. ukraine claimed it hit the cruiser with two missiles. russia denied this, saying an explosion on board caused it to sink. the country held a ceremony to mourn its loss. for ukrainians, the sinking of the warship is a morale boost. many have queued to buy this stamp, showing a ukrainian border guard defiantly standing up to the vessel. but there have already been repercussions. russia says it hit a military facility outside the ukrainian capital — an attack seen as retaliation. it's threatened more strikes on kyiv if ukraine attacks russian territory. the kremlin has also issued a warning to the united states and its allies, saying supplying further arms to ukraine would add fuel to the conflict and could lead to unpredictable consequences, but president zelensky has issued another call for world leaders
7:03 am
to back the ukrainian effort with weapons. translation: if someone says "a year or years?", i i answer "you can make the war much shorter". the more weapons we get and the sooner we get all the weapons we have requested, the stronger our position will be and the sooner peace will come. he's also warned the world should be ready for a possible russian nuclear or chemical attack. speaking on cnn, he said russia could do it because people's lives meant nothing to moscow. as the fighting continues, so too does the grim task of recovering those who've been killed in the war. ukrainian police say they found the bodies of 900 civilians in the region around kyiv. air raid siren wails.
7:04 am
the capital remains a target and there are fears there could be fresh attacks in and around it in the coming days. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the united nations' refugee agency has described plans to send some asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda as a breach of international law. the home secretary priti patel has issued a formal direction to proceed with the scheme after civil servants raised concerns. our political correspondent jonathan blake has more. jonathan, is it common for these orders to be used? what does it tell us about how this policy has been received within its own department? tt’s policy has been received within its own department?— own department? it's relatively rare, as own department? it's relatively rare. as far— own department? it's relatively rare, as far as i own department? it's relatively rare, as far as we i own department? it's relatively rare, as far as we can i own department? it's relatively rare, as far as we can tell i own department? it's relatively rare, as far as we can tell this i own department? it's relatively| rare, as far as we can tell this is only the second time since 1990 that a ministerial direction, as you described it, has been issued at the
7:05 am
home office. effectively, what it means is the home secretary priti patel has had to overrule, in effect, the concerns of officials in order for a effect, the concerns of officials in orderfor a policy effect, the concerns of officials in order for a policy to effect, the concerns of officials in orderfor a policy to be effect, the concerns of officials in order for a policy to be adopted and for it to go ahead and the specific concern here was around value for money. officials were not able to quantify how much money would be saved by this policy in the long—term. so, this device of a ministerial direction was used. it does not necessarily mean there were objections on principle by officials in the home office. nevertheless, those close to the home secretary justifying this measure, saying just because specific modelling is not available doesn't mean the government should not be able to act in this way and the asylum system is already top —— costing taxpayers huge amounts of money, £5 million a day putting people in hotels, and this policy will, in the long term, ministers hope to be able to address that. i think it is another sign of how unconventional the government is trying to do here, sending people to
7:06 am
rwanda on arrival is, they have been objections on moral grounds, accusation that will break international law, the government denies that, and now this. there will be more debates when the mp5 returned from the easter break in the coming weeks.— travel disruption is likely to continue today as millions of people take advantage of the first easter break in three years without covid restrictions. delays are also expected on trains, planes and ferries until tuesday, as greg mckenzie reports. it's the first bank holiday since all covid travel restrictions were lifted in the uk, but the easter getaway has been more slow for some. these scenes at dover yesterday after p&o suspended ferry services. post—brexit lorry checks adding to the challenge. this is easter weekend. this is the perfect storm, isn't it? exactly what you don't want it to be. this is been its worst at the moment, with all of the gridlock that we've had and that one day and people just
7:07 am
saying, "don't bother going out in your car". the airports manchester, birmingham, heathrow and gatwick, despite chaos earlier in the week, say they are back to near—normal services. the rac estimates more than 22 million carjourneys will take place this weekend, but those dropping in at woolley edge services in west yorkshire say the heavy traffic wasn't going to ruin their getaways. we've just been for a week in the lake district and we're heading down south back to london. we were meant to be going down the m6, but that's closed. quite busy — the roads are busy. but once we got onto the motorway, it was not too bad. very slow, yeah. the traffic's been i really bad on the m62. and there are no trains in and out of euston station until tuesday morning, and that's likely to have a knock—on effect to people attending the fa cup semifinals at wembley today. start of the season, most sensible people will have said
7:08 am
that two of the best teams in the country are liverpool and manchester city, so there was a fairly good chance that one, if not both, of those teams were going to get into the fa cup semifinal. well, the fa cup semifinal is pretty much always this weekend and yet, there's all these rail works going on. but network rail has stressed that 95% of its services will be unaffected by planned engineering work. and with another sunny day expected for most of the country, there could well be trafficjams this morning as motorists chance a trip to the coast. greg mckenzie, bbc news. the duke and duchess of sussex have arrived at the invictus games in the netherlands after stopping off to visit the queen at windsor on the way. it's their first joint appearance in europe since stepping back as senior royals in 2020. our correspondent anna holligan is in the hague, where the games are taking place. they start today. anna, how significant is this visit?
7:09 am
these events are very important to prince harry?— prince harry? absolutely, he is the founder and _ prince harry? absolutely, he is the founder and creator i prince harry? absolutely, he is the founder and creator of i prince harry? absolutely, he is the founder and creator of these i prince harry? absolutely, he is the i founder and creator of these games. hugely significant though, a visit to the queen, of course, stopping off at windsor castle for the first time in two years together. she turns 96 on thursday, so clearly, hurry and megan making the most of their trip to europe. i want to give you an idea of what is happening on site today though, —— harry and meghan. this is where they are setting up in preparation for them to come and visit, the public is allowed into these competitors, 500 people competing, wounded veterans of course, and over here, they are setting up the marines, and assault course, people will be able to have the faces painted in camouflage and take place in this and harry and meghan later on will be meeting people at the driving challenge, but
7:10 am
are actually here last night, i saw them walk down here past the flags and there was a huge cheer as members of the ukrainian team were called forward to meet harry and meghan. a sombre moment, though, because they have lost four members of the ukrainian invictus games molly since the russian invasion began in rocket attacks and convoy attacks so that was a moment where everyone had a chance to pause and reflect and while harry and meghan of course have stepped down as working royals, security here has been stepped up they have been given vip treatment. the police on bicycles patrolling the periphery, cameras everywhere, fences, too, and inside, hugely warm reception. warm spring vibes for harry and meghan in the hague today, and this event will last for a week and we are expecting
7:11 am
the couple to state all weekend, harry and meghan at the opening ceremony later on this evening. anna, thank you very much. ten minutes past seven on the easter weekend. what is happening weatherwise so we can have a little look. on the coast, some blue sky is poking through. tt look. on the coast, some blue sky is poking through-— poking through. it looks rather nice, darren? i poking through. it looks rather nice, darren? the i poking through. it looks rather nice, darren? the camera i poking through. it looks rather nice, darren? the camera is. poking through. it looks rather i nice, darren? the camera is looking around for us. 9, nice, darren? the camera is looking around for us-_ around for us. a lovely morning. is that a fairly — around for us. a lovely morning. is that a fairly typical— around for us. a lovely morning. is that a fairly typical theme, i around for us. a lovely morning. is that a fairly typical theme, this i that a fairly typical theme, this morning, darren, from around the country? morning, darren, from around the count ? : :, :, country? some cloud here and there but a lot of— country? some cloud here and there but a lot of it — country? some cloud here and there but a lot of it we i country? some cloud here and there but a lot of it we are i country? some cloud here and there but a lot of it we are seeing i country? some cloud here and there but a lot of it we are seeing at i country? some cloud here and there but a lot of it we are seeing at the i but a lot of it we are seeing at the moment will tend to break up and we will get sunshine developing far and wide. another warm day. starting off misty in places, this is in nottinghamshire with the sunshine coming up. the mist is burning off and there will be a lot of sunshine around, but two of the
7:12 am
westernmost parts of the uk tomorrow westernmost parts of the uk tomorrow we will see the weather changing. this front will make an appearance. eventually this weekend. at the moment it is blocked by the area of high pressure, bringing us the warmth today, some missed around, some patches of fog in south wales and tending to lift and this cloud will tend to break up, sunshine coming out. maybe cloud developing in wales, northern england later but staying dry and more sunshine in scotland and northern ireland than we had yesterday with temperatures in the moray firth making 19 degrees today, 19 or 21 widely for england and wales and 21 or 22 in the south—east. this evening, it will be fine but chilly quite quickly. overnight, cloud will come in from the weather front, overnight, cloud will come in from the weatherfront, bringing rain into northern ireland and a western fringe of scotland, mainly the western isles but ahead of it, chillier than it was first thing this morning. east midlands, east anglia, south—east, four orfive degrees. it will warm in the sunshine ahead of the front which is bringing a change into some western
7:13 am
areas of the uk. some cloud around, outbreaks of rain affecting northern ireland. it does not move much further across scotland so much of the country will be drying with some sunshine. sunshine for england and wales but later in the day, cloud increasing in wales and the south—west and we see rain arriving by this evening but it will not be much. head of it, temperatures similar to today, perhaps a little lower, northern ireland we have the cloud and rain. the weather front will sneak eastward overnight. once it moves through, we start to draw the air in from the atlantic. it means temperatures are going to be a bit slower. along the weather front itself, there it is, more a band of cloud with not much rain at all. it moves through, sunshine following behind and some blustery, quite heavy showers coming in to northern ireland, western scotland and for all of us, it will be cooler, i think, on monday with temperatures back to near where they should be at
7:14 am
this time of year. in the sunshine, still quite nice, top temperatures of 16, still quite nice, top temperatures of16, compared still quite nice, top temperatures of 16, compared with 22 we could reach today. back to you. darren, thank it is 13 minutes past seven. when the killer of the primary school teacher sabina nessa was sentenced for her murder just over a week ago, herfamily were hoping he would hear how his actions had shattered their lives. he didn't, however, because he refused to come up from the cells, prompting sabina's sister to label him a coward. now, labour is calling forjudges to be given the power to force criminals to attend their sentencing. ellie reeves is the shadowjustice minister and shejoins us now from london. a lot of people will be surprised to hear that once you have been convicted, you don't have to turn up for the sentencing. t convicted, you don't have to turn up for the sentencing.— for the sentencing. i think people are really surprised i for the sentencing. i think people are really surprised to i for the sentencing. i think people are really surprised to hear- for the sentencing. i think people are really surprised to hear that. l are really surprised to hear that. it is a matter of common sense. you are sentenced, convicted of a crime, and you should be there when you are
7:15 am
sentenced to hear the impact that your crime has had on the victim and the family, and also to be held to account for what you have done, and to have that sentence passed on you with your present, and the fact criminals don't need to be there to hear that sentence seems to be a big gap in our criminaljustice system. how would you need to change things? what would need to be done to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future? tt sure this doesn't happen again in the future?— the future? it is not that difficult to chanie the future? it is not that difficult to change it- _ the future? it is not that difficult to change it. you i the future? it is not that difficult to change it. you could i the future? it is not that difficult to change it. you could give i the future? it is not that difficult i to change it. you could give judges to change it. you could givejudges the power to say, look, you haven't turned up for your sentence, sentencing. this is an contempt of court and could result on potentially an increase in sentence, for example, in effect you are saying to criminals, look, you have got to be here, you have to hear what you have done and how wrong it
7:16 am

working in this sector. it has completely unworkable, unethical and potentially it is illegal. it is not the right solution. it seems to be a distraction from party date, the government's own civil service seem to have viewed reservations about it, and it is a government that has run out of ideas and just wants to grab headlines. t run out of ideas and 'ust wants to grab headlines.i run out of ideas and 'ust wants to grab headlines. i fully understand our grab headlines. i fully understand your position. _ grab headlines. i fully understand your position, but i i grab headlines. i fully understand your position, but i am i grab headlines. i fully understand your position, but i am keen i grab headlines. i fully understand your position, but i am keen to i grab headlines. i fully understand i your position, but i am keen to use our time to your position, but i am keen to use ourtime to find your position, but i am keen to use our time to find out what you would do, to protect vulnerable people from dying at sea, to tackle criminal gangs making millions out of this every year. you criminal gangs making millions out of this every year.— of this every year. you can crackdown i of this every year. you can crackdown on i of this every year. you can crackdown on people i of this every year. you can i crackdown on people smugglers, labour would make it illegal to advertise people smuggling on social media. it is astonishing that that is possible that that is what goes on. there has been no clampdown on that. we need to work much more closely with france and others to tackle the criminal gangs and
7:18 am
prosecute more and more people who are doing this, but also, we need to reintroduce safe routes of passage for example unaccompanied children with relatives can get here safely. there is a huge amount more than can be done... :. . :. there is a huge amount more than can be done... :, _, :,, there is a huge amount more than can be done... :, _, :, :, , be done... that is a vast ma'ority of asyium — be done... that is a vast ma'ority of asylum seekers, i be done... that is a vast ma'ority of asylum seekers, not i be done... that is a vast majority. of asylum seekers, not necessarily unaccompanied children, is it? hundreds of thousands of young men very often come to this country, many of them very vulnerable positions, and when you look at the numbers involved in coming over on the boats, from almost 05 years ago to 28,000 last year, looks like we're going to see record numbers this year. i'm not hearing a solution as to how you specifically stop people taking that route. the other stop people taking that route. tt9 other thing to remember is that actually there is evidence to suggest that by sending asylum seekers to rwanda, you are going to stop people from attempting the
7:19 am
dangerous crossing. it is completely unworkable. people will still make the journey. unworkable. people will still make thejourney. they unworkable. people will still make the journey. they will not be deterred, we will have an incredibly costly system, 120 million, before anyone has even been sent to rwanda. look at what happened in australia. they spent £5.5 billion off shoring 3000 asylum seekers. that is 1.7 million per asylum seeker. the whole system was unworkable. why we are spending that much money, potentially that much money when we have a cost of living crisis doesn't seem to be the right solution. instead, we should be going after the criminal gangs, prosecuting them, making sure they can't advertise on social media, and work much more closely, have much more cooperation with france to people making the crossing. that is not what we are hearing from this government.

for each club to get down, free of charge, to london and back. i think that will all be about what happens on the pitch. as you have seen so far this season, very little to split these two. they are two of the world government best. a very good morning to you. —— world's the very best. yes, fa cup semifinal weekend with two all—premier league ties. chelsea taking on crystal palace tomorrow, but before that, liverpool and manchester city, two of the best anywehere in club football. they only met last sunday in a thrilling draw at the etihad. that was for points. this time, for a shot at silverware. defeat for city will see them miss out on a potential domestic treble. for liverpool, it would end their hopes of an unprecendented four trophies this season. i'm really looking forward to the game. wembley�*s a big pitch, so we have to cover a lot of grass and to run a lot and to close big gaps and all those things, but i think it will be cool.
7:27 am
of course, both teams will use the last game for their analyse, of course, and we will see who uses it better. we have a chance to be here, to reach the final of the fa cup, the most historical tournament than years, years, years ago, so fa cup most probably more important than premier league or the league, so i know how nice it is, that game, and tomorrow, you know, with both fans, both teams trying to do a good game. crystal palace or chelsea await in the final tomorrow. for the first time in 168 years, the last four in the scottish cup will be made up of both the big latsko and edinburgh clubs. what a big game is set to be at hampden park. tomorrow it is celtic and rangers today it is hearts against kilbirnie in. the second time these sides have met as in many weeks. the first time, though, there is a final on the line.
7:28 am
we've got another big derby in the in the semifinals of the women's fa cup. the two in—form teams in the shape of the holders chelsea and arsenal meet tomorrow in a repeat of last season's final. west ham and manchester city, who are hoping to reach their first cup final in four years when they they lost to city at wembley. relegation threatened derby, delayed fulham's return to the premier league who would have been promoted with five games to spare had they held on to their lead, fabio carvalho with their goal. but derby were level five minutes into the sceond half, and then a fulham own goal sealed the win for derby who remain nine points from safety. sale sharks shocked bristol to make it through to the quarterfinals of of the european champions cup. sale were 10—9 down from the first leg having had a player sent off. but they managed to score four tries, including this late one from jono ross, to win 35—29 on the night. 66—39 on aggregate. in the super league, leaders st helens remain top after their win over wigan.

7:52 am
quite soon after 9/11 happened, where attitudes toward salvation community had changed anyway, and this hopefully made them change again and see people differently. the timing of this film was also actually really important. the ways in which south asian communities have felt the reverberations of the violence and uptake of the violence in the re—emergence of said violence is still happening, and this film told a story about a family, and it used to sport as a connector to do that while also using beautifully captured visuals and music and joy. and that, at that time, when it came out in 2002, was really important. it was one of the first times i have felt joy it was one of the first times i have feltjoy in able to revel in this. what had happened of 9/11, because you are part of a certain community, we were considered to be complicit or associated. we were considered to be complicit orassociated. it

good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. our headlines today: russia warns of 'unpredictable consequences' if the west continues to supply ukraine with weapons, as it threatens to intensify bombing on the capital kyiv. plans to send asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda are a breach of international law, according to the un's refugee agency. harry and meghan make a rare public appearance as the invictus games get under way in the netherlands. it is the modern rivalry in english football. who will end their tilt at the fa cup later as manchester city and liverpool meet in the semifinals? hello, good morning. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far and it's
8:01 am
going to be warm today and tomorrow with lots of sunshine. later on easter sunday, there will be some rain coming into western areas, but i'll have all of the details later on. hello, good morning. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far and it's it's saturday the 16th of april. our top story. russia has warned ukraine's allies to stop supplying weapons to the country, saying it could have "unpredictable consequences". moscow has also threatened to step up attacks on the area around the capital, kyiv — after a missile factory there was destroyed yesterday. our correspondent helena wilkinson has the latest. this was once one of russia's most prized warships. now, the moskva lies at the bottom of the black sea. it's a huge blow to the country and its naval power. ukraine claimed it hit the cruiser with two missiles. russia denied this, saying an explosion on board caused it to sink.
8:02 am
the country held a ceremony to mourn its loss. for ukrainians, the sinking of the warship is a morale boost. many have queued to buy this stamp, showing a ukrainian border guard defiantly standing up to the vessel. but there have already been repercussions. russia says it hit a military facility outside the ukrainian capital — an attack seen as retaliation. it's threatened more strikes on kyiv if ukraine attacks russian territory. the kremlin has also issued a warning to the united states and its allies, saying supplying further arms to ukraine would add fuel to the conflict and could lead to unpredictable consequences, but president zelensky has issued another call for world leaders to back the ukrainian effort with weapons.
8:03 am
translation: if someone says "a year or years?", i i answer "you can make the war much shorter". the more weapons we get and the sooner we get all the weapons we have requested, the stronger our position will be and the sooner peace will come. he's also warned the world should be ready for a possible russian nuclear or chemical attack. speaking on cnn, he said russia could do it because people's lives meant nothing to moscow. as the fighting continues, so too does the grim task of recovering those who've been killed in the war. ukrainian police say they found the bodies of 900 civilians in the region around kyiv. air raid siren wails. the capital remains a target and there are fears there could be fresh attacks in and around it in the coming days. helena wilkinson, bbc news.
8:04 am
our correspondent danjohnson is in the western city of lviv. dan, we understand there have been explosions on the outskirts of kyiv this morning — and in lviv where you are — what can you tell us? it sounds like those attacks may well have come, there are reports of explosions on the edge of kyiv this morning, we have an update from the city's mayor saying rescue teams are dealing with a blast on the outskirts. and reports of explosions here in the veev overnight —— lviv. air raid sirens at by 30 am. a long
8:05 am
way from the fighting in the east, it shows how the russians threatened renewed attacks may well have started. we know there were error led —— air raid alerts in many cities. the ukrainian say they still cling on to first bite. the ukrainian say the russians have not been successful yet. every day, more evidence of the alleged war crimes, mass graves in the areas that were under russian occupation. that is gradually being on earth, documented in order to put forward some sort of case perhaps in the future. we have had the morning overnight coming from diplomatic sources that
8:06 am
vladimir putin has told other countries not to supply more weapons to ukraine, apparently sent to the americans, that message, earlier in the week. it looks like they have ignored that because after that the us president announced a huge package of military support to help the ukrainian resistance and expectation of more fierce battles to come in the east of the country. that means there are more people fleeing across ukraine, trying to get to safer places, some of them coming here tel aviv mac, but it is possible people are arriving to air raid sirens, the threat of missiles coming from the air and you can see why people are nervy right across this country. why people are nervy right across this country-— why people are nervy right across this count . :, :, this country. dan, for the moment, thank ou this country. dan, for the moment, thank you very _ this country. dan, for the moment, thank you very much. _ the war in ukraine has devastated the lives of millions of people — forcing many to flee their homes and leaving others trapped as russian troops advance. shortly after the invasion, we spoke to vitaly shevchenko — the russia editor at bbc monitoring. he told us about the difficulty he was having getting his mum

8:17 am
were not able to put figures on the numbers. a source close to priti patel said just because the numbers doesn't exist doesn't mean the government should not act here. the ministerial direction was put in place and we are also told the official said significant savings were being made over time, but could not say how much. i think this shows how unconventional this policy is and what the government is attempting to do to send people to rwanda on arrival in the uk to claim asylum there as that. objections on legal grounds, as you outlined, also on moral grounds from opposition parties, and logistical concerns, whether it will ever actually be up and running. the government says it hopes within weeks if not months. there will be a row in parliament about this in the coming week when the easter break is over. there are
8:18 am
votes on legislation going through parliament at the moment underpinning this plan. the duke and duchess of sussex have arrived at the invictus games in the netherlands, after stopping off to visit the queen at windsor on the way. it's their firstjoint appearance — in europe — since stepping back as senior royals in 2020. our correspondent anna holligan is in the hague, where the games are taking place. anna, how significant is this visit? and a visit to the queen on the way? we have the sunshine, teams arriving from all over the world. you can see the flags behind representing. harry and meghan stopped off to visit his grandmotherfor and meghan stopped off to visit his grandmother for the first and meghan stopped off to visit his grandmotherfor the first time and meghan stopped off to visit his grandmother for the first time since 2020. she turns 96 shortly, she has

area of high pressure, underneath we have a misty start this morning, still one or two patches of fog, this will lift, lots of cloud in the wetter areas thinning and breaking, sunshine more widely. temperatures 15-16 sunshine more widely. temperatures 15—16 for northern ireland, the moray firth in scotland 18. possibly 21 or 22 for the football at wembley. could be sneezing, high pollen levels in england and wales. tree pollen at this time of year. this evening a finance of the day, gets chilly as the sun goes down. cloud coming into western areas, some rain for northern ireland and into the western isles of scotland, clearer skies ahead of that, temperatures lower than this morning across the east midlands, east anglia and the south east, 4—5, chile first thing. the weather front of slides in from the west, moving
8:22 am
very slowly, pushing the area of high pressure further away from the uk. the rain does not move very far across scotland, mainly western isles, west coast of the mainland, rain at times across northern ireland, rain into west wales and far south—west by the end of the day. plenty of sunshine ahead of the rain, still warm for this time of the year. things change as we move into bank holiday monday, the weather front continues to push its way eastwards, some rain on that but onceit way eastwards, some rain on that but once it moves through we will find our air coming once it moves through we will find ourair coming infrom once it moves through we will find our air coming in from the atlantic and that will bring cooler conditions as well. by the time we get to the morning on monday, not much rain, more a band of cloud for many, so follows, blustery showers, heavy into northern ireland and parts of scotland. not bad in the sunshine but temperatures lower, around 16. as a high. more showers

on tuesday perhaps. thereafter drive. llandudno, the place to be, and easterly wind, not as warm as this weekend but for much of next week it will be dry. bank holiday travel disruption is set to continue this weekend as millions of people take advantage of their first easter break — without covid travel restrictions. delays are also expected to continue on the trains, planes and ferries until tuesday as greg mckenzie reports. it's the first bank holiday since all covid travel restrictions were lifted in the uk, but the easter getaway has been more slow for some. these scenes at dover yesterday after p&o suspended its ferry services. post—brexit lorry checks adding to the challenge. this is easter weekend. this is the perfect storm, isn't it? exactly what you don't want it to be. this is been its worst
8:24 am
at the moment, with all of the gridlock that we've had on that one day and people just saying, "don't bother going out in your car". the airports manchester, birmingham, heathrow and gatwick, despite chaos earlier in the week, say they are back to near—normal services. the rac estimates more than 22 million carjourneys will take place this weekend, but those dropping in at woolley edge services in west yorkshire say the heavy traffic wasn't going to ruin their getaways. we've just been for a week in the lake district and we're heading down south, back to london. we were meant to be going down the m6, but that's closed. quite busy — the roads are busy. but once we got onto the motorway, it wasn't too bad. very slow, yeah. the traffic's been really bad on the m62. and there are no trains in and out of euston station until tuesday morning, and that's likely to have a knock—on effect to people attending the fa cup semifinals at wembley today.
8:25 am
start of the season, most sensible people will have said that two of the best teams in the country are liverpool and manchester city, so there was a fairly good chance that one, if not both, of those teams were going to get into the fa cup semifinal. well, the fa cup semifinal is pretty much always this weekend and yet, there's all these rail works going on. but network rail has stressed that 95% of its services will be unaffected by planned engineering work. and with another sunny day expected for most of the country, there could well be trafficjams this morning as motorists chance a trip to the coast. greg mckenzie, bbc news. health officials in cornwall are asking visitors and residents to "exercise caution" — as nearly 2,500 covid cases were detected there over the last week. brian o'neill is a public health consultant for cornwall council, hejoins us now. i suppose if you are issuing advice

8:36 am
of course, and we will see who uses it better. this is city's fifth fa cup semifinal in the past six years but manager pep guardiola has only seen his side lift the cup in 2019. we have a chance to be win here, to reach the final of the fa cup, the most historical tournament than years, years, years ago, so fa cup most probably more important than premier league or the league, so i know how nice it is, that game, and tomorrow, you know, with both fans, both teams trying to do a good game. history will be a big motivation for liverpool. they won the fa cup since 2006 in cardiff and it's ten years since they last reached the final. —— they haven't won. whatever today's result, though, it won't guarantee the winner success underneath wembley's arch next month. nick parrott, bbc news. the stages set, as it is in scotland. for the first time in 148 years, the last four in the scottish cup will be made up of both the big
8:37 am

good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and charlie stayt. our headlines today... russia warns of "unpredictable consequences" if the west continues to supply ukraine with weapons, as it threatens to intensify bombing on the capital kyiv. plans to send asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda are a breach of international law, according to the un's refugee agency. disruption on the roads and rails continues, on the first easter weekend without covid restrictions for two years.
9:01 am
that means it is going to be a huge weekend for places like the resorts here on the north wales coast, we will take a walk down llandudno pier. the next chapter in their thrilling rivalry. as manchester city and liverpool meet at wembley today for a place in the fa cup final. hello, good morning. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far and it's going to be warm today and tomorrow with lots of sunshine. later on easter sunday, there will be some rain coming into western areas, but i'll have all of the details later on. it's saturday the 16th of april. our top story. russia has warned ukraine's allies to stop supplying weapons to the country, saying it could have "unpredictable consequences". moscow has also threatened to step up attacks on the area around the capital, kyiv — after a missile factory there was destroyed yesterday. our correspondent helena
9:02 am
wilkinson has the latest. this was once one of russia's most prized warships. now, the moskva lies at the bottom of the black sea. it's a huge blow to the country and its naval power. ukraine claimed it hit the cruiser with two missiles. russia denied this, saying an explosion on board caused it to sink. the country held a ceremony to mourn its loss. for ukrainians, the sinking of the warship is a morale boost. many have queued to buy this stamp, showing a ukrainian border guard defiantly standing up to the vessel. but there have already been repercussions. russia says it hit a military facility outside the ukrainian capital — an attack seen as retaliation. it's threatened more strikes on kyiv if ukraine attacks russian territory.
9:03 am
the kremlin has also issued a warning to the united states and its allies, saying supplying further arms to ukraine would add fuel to the conflict and could lead to unpredictable consequences, but president zelensky has issued another call for world leaders to back the ukrainian effort with weapons. translation: if someone says "a year or years?", i i answer "you can make the war much shorter". the more weapons we get and the sooner we get all the weapons we have requested, the stronger our position will be and the sooner peace will come. he's also warned the world should be ready for a possible russian nuclear or chemical attack. speaking on cnn, he said russia could do it because people's lives meant nothing to moscow. as the fighting continues,
9:04 am
so too does the grim task of recovering those who've been killed in the war. ukrainian police say they found the bodies of 900 civilians in the region around kyiv. air raid siren wails. the capital remains a target and there are fears there could be fresh attacks in and around it in the coming days. helena wilkinson, bbc news. our correspondent danjohnson is in the western city of lviv. dan, we understand there have been explosions on the outskirts of kyiv this morning — and in lviv where you are — what can you tell us? and in lviv where you are — exposures and in lviv where you are — reported in one of the suburbs exposures reported in one of the suburbs on the edge of kyiv. the mayor of the city said emergency teams are responding to that blast. we have no confirmation of how much damage has been done, any injuries or loss of life. also an air rated
9:05 am
take on lviv, we are told two russian jets launched an attack, apparently four missiles fired after flying from belarus. hundreds of miles from the really intense fighting in the east of ukraine, but still risks and russia had threatened renewed attacks. it said in response to ukrainian helicopters firing on villagers over the border in russia itself. the suspicion is russia is responding to show its firepower is not diminished despite the flagship of the black sea fleet having sung to the bottom of the ocean. we also have that warning from vladimir putin, a message to the americans earlier this week that if they continue to supply weapons to ukraine, there could be unintended consequences. president zelensky has talked about russia's

ability to launch chemical and nuclear attacks. ability to launch chemical and nuclearattacks. but ability to launch chemical and nuclear attacks. but the united states don't like across ukraine, renewed strikes, further air raid warnings, nervousness for people in this country. bank holiday travel disruption is set to continue this weekend as millions of people take advantage of their first easter break — without covid travel restrictions. delays are expected on the trains, planes and ferries until tuesday as greg mckenzie reports. it's the first bank holiday since all covid travel restrictions were lifted in the uk, but the easter getaway has been more slow for some. these scenes at dover yesterday after p&o suspended its ferry services. post—brexit lorry checks adding to the challenge. this is easter weekend. this is the perfect storm, isn't it? exactly what you don't
9:07 am
want it to be. this is been its worst at the moment, with all of the gridlock that we've had on that one day and people just saying, "don't bother going out in your car". the airports manchester, birmingham, heathrow and gatwick, despite chaos earlier in the week, say they are back to near—normal services. the rac estimates more than 22 million carjourneys will take place this weekend, but those dropping in at woolley edge services in west yorkshire say the heavy traffic wasn't going to ruin their getaways. we've just been for a week in the lake district and we're heading down south, back to london. we were meant to be going down the m6, but that's closed. quite busy — the roads are busy. but once we got onto the motorway, it wasn't too bad. very slow, yeah. the traffic's been really bad on the m62. and there are no trains in and out of euston station until tuesday morning,
9:08 am
and that's likely to have a knock—on effect to people attending the fa cup semifinals at wembley today. start of the season, most sensible people will have said that two of the best teams in the country are liverpool and manchester city, so there was a fairly good chance that one, if not both, of those teams were going to get into the fa cup semifinal. well, the fa cup semifinal is pretty much always this weekend and yet, there's all these rail works going on. but network rail has stressed that 95% of its services will be unaffected by planned engineering work. and with another sunny day expected for most of the country, there could well be trafficjams this morning as motorists chance a trip to the coast. greg mckenzie, bbc news. the united nation's refugee agency has described plans to send some asylum seekers from the uk to rwanda as a breach of international law. the home secretary priti patel has issued a formal direction to proceed with the scheme after civil servants raised concerns. our political correspondent jonathan blake has more. jonathan, is it common

9:26 am
unwell. the antibodies buy into a specific part of the virus, the spike, they block it. that reigns in the infection and stops it spreading through the body. the antibodies are humanised antibodies, artificially made but look like human antibodies. they go into your system, work for a while. like all things, they disappear. the effect goes away. you can put more of the men, that should not be a problem, there are some types of therapies like this where you cannot keep doing this but this is not one of them so it should be possible to keep on giving the antibodies. the thing to bear in mind because virus is a moving target, what we have seen in some of the initial antibody therapies that pharmaceutical companies come up with are not working against the new variants including ones linda mansion. they have discontinued their use but there are still some that work. ., , ,

9:28 am
seroconversion, how robust was the response when people were given the vaccine? it outperformed astrazeneca in the primary end points in the trial. the uk government ordered large amounts of this vaccine. i am not clear, certainly the order was cancelled and potentially being reconsidered but what we are looking at now, charlie, i think is the fact this vaccine may be particularly important for two reasons, the first is if the european medicines agency approves it it will be very useful particularly for people who have not been vaccinated. secondly, it may actually be particularly valuable against new variants because it is training the body to recognise the spike protein and other proteins in the virus people responded to in the trial. it is always good looking ahead and when we may need to vaccinate again in the future other groups are the same groups we are now to have a different vaccine we

9:30 am
travel has been resumed, contact, people might actually have the flu if they are down and not very well at the moment. lots of symptoms on the list overlapping with a vast slew of different infections and non—infectious things like hay fever but the full might also be out there among them. bear that in mind if you get these symptoms.— get these symptoms. interesting because lots _ get these symptoms. interesting because lots of _ get these symptoms. interesting because lots of people _ get these symptoms. interesting because lots of people saying - get these symptoms. interesting because lots of people saying i i get these symptoms. interesting i because lots of people saying i have these symptoms, x, y, z, iam testing negative, but it might not be covid, people have forgotten the flu could be the explanation? i{iuite flu could be the explanation? quite riiht, we flu could be the explanation? quite right. we did _ flu could be the explanation? quite right. we did try — flu could be the explanation? quite right, we did try to _ flu could be the explanation? quite right, we did try to have _ flu could be the explanation? quite right, we did try to have a - flu could be the explanation?

9:33 am
than years, years, years ago, i so the fa cup was apparently more important than the premier league or the league, so i know how nice it is, that game, - and tomorrow, you know, . with both fans, both teams trying to do a good game. they are smiling now, you wonder who will be smiling later. now, for the first time in 148 years, the last four in the scottish cup will be made up of both the big glasgow and edinburgh clubs. what a weekend it's set to be at hampden park — tomorrow it's celtic and rangers, today it's hearts against hibernian. the second time they've met in as many weeks. this time, though, there's a final on the line. it's a big derby too in the semifinals of the women's fa cup. the two in—form sides in the shape of the holders chelsea and arsenal meet tomorrow in a repeat of last season's final. today it's west ham and manchester city, who are hoping to reach their first cup final in four years when they they lost to city at wembley. relegation—threatened derby delayed fulham's return to the premier league,
9:34 am
who would have been promoted with five games to spare had they held on to their lead, fabio carvalho with their goal. but derby were level five minutes into the sceond half, and then a fulham own goal sealed the win for derby who remain nine points from safety. sale sharks shocked bristol to make it through to the quarterfinals of the european champions cup. sale were 10—9 down from the first leg. they had a player sent off last night but they managed to score four tries, including this late one from jono ross, to win 35—29 on the night. 44—39 on aggregate. in the super league, leaders st helens remain top after their win over wigan. mark percival crashing over with their final try to secure a 22—4 victory, they're nowjust two points ahead of catalan and wigan. elsewhere, hull kr overcame rivals hull fc in their derby.
9:35 am
ahead of the start of the world snooker championshop, defending champion mark selby has been talking about his battle with depresssion. we can speak to the former world champion ken doherty any moment. our snooker reporterjamie broughton has been speaking to him at the crucible theatre. the four—time world champion mark selby is one of the toughest competitors ever seen on a snooker table. cheering. but recently, he's faced a different battle. the leicester star's been suffering with depression and took a break from the sport to get some help. it's a lot better than what it was. i've been working with some psychiatrist doctor in london who's been brilliant and sort of helped me a lot. so, i've been working with him injanuary, when i announced it on social media, and, yeah, ifeel like i'm in a better place. i don't think i'll ever overcome it. it's just a matter of managing
9:36 am
the triggers, when they start, and trying tojump on them early, i suppose. the game's biggest star, ronnie o'sullivan, will once again be the focus of media attention. he's trying to win a record—equalling seventh world title. the first round is going to be like the formula 1 into the first corner — it's going to be carnage. there's going to be a lot of seeds falling, guaranteed, 'cause16 seeds that have come through five years ago could have been the 16 seeds automatically, it's a really tough...tough gig, but it's going to be fun. absolutely incredible scenes, look at that, neil robertson, | and his wonderful family. the 2010 champion, neil robertson, is the bookies' favourite to lift the trophy. the australian has won four tournaments this season, including the masters. no, it's no added pressure. i mean, i've won many tournaments. at some stage, you're the favourite in people's eyes, and maybe you're not. so, i don't think any other top player really sort of takes notice of that. it's just going to be down to sort
9:37 am
of whoever plays the best. it's got nothing to do with who the bookies make the favourite or not. so, yeah, i've dealt with being favourites in tournaments before just fine, so it doesn't make any difference sort of coming here now. well, neil robertson would be a popular winner here, but it's always difficult to predict who will get their hands on this famous trophy. jamie broughton, bbc news, sheffield. ahead of that match we can speak now to 1997 world champion and bbc commentator, ken doherty. what did you make of mark selby? he has been so open, detailing his battle with depression, what do you make of his comments? it battle with depression, what do you make of his comments?— battle with depression, what do you make of his comments? it has been a hard couple — make of his comments? it has been a hard couple of — make of his comments? it has been a hard couple of months _ make of his comments? it has been a hard couple of months for _ make of his comments? it has been a hard couple of months for mark - hard couple of months for mark selby. — hard couple of months for mark selby. he — hard couple of months for mark selby, he is the defending champion, started _ selby, he is the defending champion, started at— selby, he is the defending champion, started at ten o'clock this morning, i started at ten o'clock this morning, i spoke _ started at ten o'clock this morning, i spoke to— started at ten o'clock this morning, i spoke to him yesterday, he has been _ i spoke to him yesterday, he has been getting treatment and seems in a good _ been getting treatment and seems in a good place, great news. it will be interesting — a good place, great news. it will be interesting how he plays, we doubt

9:42 am
450 pages of 19805 bmx. why? it's a lifelong passion. the '805 were the greatest time for bmx. literally everyone and his dog had a bmx. they were times of freedom, they were times of fun, they were times of health and safety nightmares. and that's extended to parents as well. you've got ramp mum here, called maureen. she's been a human ramp for us. it sums up those crazy times where, you know, parents would do anything for their kids and the minute we got that picture, it was always going to be on the front cover. ad: go! raleigh aero burners! in the 1980s, bmx was a tv stable. bmx largely appeals to the macho instincts of male adolescents. but however commentators interpreted it, there were kids keen to push boundaries. this one caught my eye here. yeah, this is a guy called rhys irons. is rhys still with us? yeah, he certainly is! after this, just about! but again, itjust sums up the crazy things that we did as kids.
9:43 am
his name is rhys irons? rhys irons, yeah. so he's literally irons in the fire. he — oh! iou by freez plays. making the book has been a labour of love. clint is a co—author. lots of late nights, lots of long weekends without girlfriends and partners. have you still got girlfriends and partners? yeah, they've been very understanding. we've been so blessed and lucky with the reaction, and the innocence of it alljust really appeals in an age where, you know, people have got so much to worry about. it's just pure escapism. by 1986, the craze was tailing off and though bmx is now an olympic sport, it's not quite the go—to bicycle of yesteryear. we'd like to say that our book might start a revival because you never know, all of these things take little sparks. you know, hopefully it will spark another generation of bmx and another bmx boom. ian haslam, bbc news.
