candidates have been desperately trying to sell themselves to the undecided millions. maybe not as their ideal choice but the best offer in front of them. nick beake, bbc news, paris. at least eight people, including a three—month—old baby, are now known to have died following missile strikes in the southern ukrainian city of odesa. after the latest shelling, president zelensky announced that the us secretary of state, antony blinken, will arrive in kyiv today, as the country enters its third month of war with russia. vinnie mcaviney reports. thick black smoke cutting through the calm of a saturday afternoon in odesa. this was the aftermath of a missile strike on the city. holmes collapsed into one another. cars crushed and burnt by burnt out rubble and glass. through the debris firefighters led those it could still walk to safety. others were not so lucky. this man lived in the

scumbags! — you imagine what is going on. filthy scumbags! there are no other words. the president also revealed that the us secretary of state anthony linkin and lloyd often will visit ukraine today, the most senior officials visiting since the world began. odesa sits on the ukraine's southern coast and while the fighting has focused on the east of the country, the city had reduced its curfews and remove some of the strict offences. it has come as a shock to residents who have experienced relative calm over recent weeks, prompting them to hope the worst was behind them. but the strikes on saturday show russia's aggression is still indiscriminate and random, part of putin's calculation to where ukrainian is down by keeping them in constant fear. last night, while the russian president was at a service for orthodox easter, president zelensky called for a direct meeting with him to bring the water when. peace talks have not taken place and

putin seems in no mood to repent for his aggressive invasion over the past 60 days. with no sign for the west is in support for the ukraine, may he be ready to resurrect those peace talks? vinnie mcaviney, bbc news. our reporterjoe inwood is in kyiv. we have been talking about odesa being one of the places trying to get back to normality, things were reopening there. quite clearly, a huge setback in the last 2a hours? yeah, absolutely. it is one of the things people suggested, that russia will continue these almost seemingly random strikes to keep ukraine on a defensive footing, to stop it bringing a defences forward because thatis bringing a defences forward because that is one of the important key areas in the battle for the east, that will be bringing an defences,

6:13 am
lot of sunshine from the get go and this area of low pressure sitting to the south, bringing quite stormy weather across parts of france today for election day and a few showers to come and eventually clearing away by the time we get to lunchtime. as you see we are left with a lot of fine weather, perhapsjust you see we are left with a lot of fine weather, perhaps just some isolated showers come the afternoon and midlands and scotland and northern ireland. winds of the north sea, keeping cool along the coast and highs of 11 or 12, towards the south with sunshine we could get up to 18 degrees and rather like we did yesterday. through the evening and overnight, a lot of fine weather, more cloud tonight across northern and eastern scotland so it shouldn't feel quite so chilly here, temperatures just above freezing at the moment and currently a slightly milder night. on into monday, still dominated by high pressure, still a lot of fine weather to come but
6:14 am
still some unsettled conditions further south across france so perhaps a few showers for the south—east of england on the tail end of the low pressure during monday morning. as the day pans out because the high centres drifting westwards, gives us scattered showers elsewhere and showers always very hit and miss. no guaranteed rain for anyone area, a little bit cooler on monday as the wind starts to swing around to a north—easterly direction. by tuesday, it looks like we will be sitting in a proper northerly on the eastern side of our area of high pressure, so it will feel cooler and also looks like we will pull in more in the way of cloud and that adds the slightly chilly feel, grey skies on tuesday and still a lot of dry weather, despite the fairly firm covering of cloud. the north sea coast, nine, 10 degrees on tuesday and elsewhere highs up to 15 or 16. further ahead
6:15 am
into the week, nothing changes dramatically. the area of high pressure is very, very settled and i will stay with northerly winds through the week and sponsor sunshine but in contrast to the weekend, generally, but one thing to watch for, everyone is getting clean in the garden at the moment and as the week tapers off, the winds will fall and winds clear and it will be a case of looking out for late season frost as we go into the last few days of april. that is how it is looking for now. back to you. you are right to warn us about their win. i could barely stand up yesterday!— win. i could barely stand up yesterday! win. i could barely stand up esterda ! �* ., ., ., ., yesterday! and you are a tall man, ben! you were _ yesterday! and you are a tall man, ben! you were right _ yesterday! and you are a tall man, ben! you were right to _ yesterday! and you are a tall man, ben! you were right to warn - yesterday! and you are a tall man, ben! you were right to warn us. i ben! you were right to warn us. easier for _ ben! you were right to warn us. easier for those _ ben! you were right to warn us. easier for those with _ ben! you were right to warn us. easier for those with a - ben! you were right to warn us. easier for those with a lower i ben! you were right to warn us. i easier for those with a lower centre of gravity. you are meant to say no, nina, is your are sensuous. that

6:36 am
shower for northern england, midlands, a few for southern scotland and northern ireland but dominated today with dry fine weather and generous sunshine. always cooler along the north sea coast, 18 degrees and the best of any sunshine inland. overnight and into the early hours are monday, clear skies for many but the breeze will go across england and wales and for scotland, cloud in the east and temperatures got down to close to freezing across scotland in recent hours. should be mailed ahead to start us off on monday. isobars open up start us off on monday. isobars open up a bit more on monday, the wind will be lighter and unsettled weather to the south of us, across france, so trying to pick out a few showers and there could be some across south—east of england through monday morning and more widely as the day pans out some cloud bubbling up the day pans out some cloud bubbling up and perhaps less sunshine than today and producing the odd shower. no guaranteed rain for anyone spot. this is always the way we showers.
6:37 am
temperatures down the north sea coast, caller and a north—easterly wind. monday into tuesday we start to pull in a northerly wind. still sitting under the area of high pressure and dry weather but for tuesday, if anything, pressure and dry weather but for tuesday, ifanything, more pressure and dry weather but for tuesday, if anything, more cloud pushing into the uk so quite grey and with northerly breeze it will feel quite chilly. temperatures around average for this time year. certainly two or three degrees down in the figures probably only eight or nine along the north sea coast. through the week ahead, a slow moving weather story, they hi stay with us, fine weather to come, perhaps less sunshine towards the end of the week and also later on in the week, keep a close eye on your local forecast because there is the risk of some pockets of late season frost. thank you. we'll be back with the headlines at seven, but right now it's time
6:38 am
for this week's travel show. this week on the show... going wild in chile. we've actually found a huemul deer. can you see him in the distance? treasure hunting in lebanon. and on board a leaky boat in crocodile—infested waters. i have lots of water in my boat. i don't know exactly why yet, but here it is. chile and patagonia,
6:39 am
a place where tradition is meeting progression. a wild majestic spectacle where one of the world's longest countries has benefited from the largest [and donation in history to create a conservation project on a vast scale. among the plans in place is an initiative hoping to bring more visitors to the area, called the route of parks, joining 17 old and new national parks together to create a huge network of wild areas to explore, more than 1,700 miles. myjourney to its heart takes me six hours in a 4x4, along rough terrain.
6:40 am
so, we've blown a tyre, and as you can see behind me, the road is pretty rough. we've hit one of these huge potholes, and i guess that's part of the story of tourism here. the infrastructure is still a work in progress for the government, but for two philanthropists, doug and kris tompkins, the route of parks was just the latest part in a decades—long project in both chile and argentinian patagonia. doug had spent time in patagonia before, creating the clothing brand north face, and kris had been ceo of the brand patagonia. when he decided to get out of business and do something different with his life, just dedicate his life to conservation and those things that he loved, these two countries came back into the front of his mind. in 1991, doug bought a coastal
6:41 am
farm in southern chile, and over 30 years, along with kris and the tompkins conservation organisation, they bought 2 million acres acres across chile and argentina. rewilding came high on their agenda, repopulating the diverse range of species that had become critically imbalanced. the numbers of nandu birds in chile have dropped significantly. in this valley, rewilding has raised numbers from a dozen to around 70 so far. so, how does the nandu fit into the ecosystem here?
6:42 am
6:43 am
traditionally, gauchos are horsemen skilled at protecting cattle and sometimes hunting predators. but now, dan daniel has a wider review of the predators as an important part of the animal network. beeping. today, don daniel uses modern techniques to track the tagged huemul deers nearby. so, the signal's quite strong when we point the antenna that way. it's like one of those tv antennas from the '70s or '80s that you had on your roof. but it seems to be doing thejob.
6:44 am
oh, yep...| can hear it. beeping. 99% of the original huemul population are thought to have been lost, leaving them endangered. but with don daniel's help, we soon spot something in the distance. gosh, look at don daniel go! so...we've actually found a huemul deer. can you see him in the distance? he's just sitting there in the grass, and he's quite well camouflaged. we move for a closer look and quickly see that there are in fact three huemul together.
6:45 am
6:46 am
in 2017, tompkins conservation donated the last of the parks of the chilean state under the condition that they are protected as national parks. the chilean government also added to existing national parkland to create the route of parks, an area the size of switzerland. this the tompkins donation was said to be the biggest private land this donation to a country in world history. but it was not without controversy. i think that colonisation of territory in human history is absolutely discussed as it should be. there's no question about that. i don't think we can rollback the clock and hope that slavery didn't happen and that...that almost the entire globe was conquered by four or five imperialist countries. there's no question about that.
6:47 am
i'm very proud of what we do because every hectare we have ever purchased goes right back to the people of the country. tragically, doug never saw the completion of the donation, passing away in 2015. a good friend of mine from new york city wrote to me just a few days after he died, and she said, "look, you have a choice here. "you can be the long—suffering widow or you can get out of bed and go do these things." and she was right. i had — that was a conscious decision i was going to have to make. and so ijust thought, ok, let's go for it. and that's when i started trying to tie up everything, and within two years, we had them all donated. wow. and that was a lot of work. and i think it saved my life,
6:48 am
needing to do that. yeah. and what would doug have said...sitting here now? oh, he would have said... "good job, bird." imagine he's pretty happy, yeah. good. i'm happy. yeah. i mean, we're not done yet, but i hope we're never done. stay with us, because still to come on the travel show... the neglected treasures of tripoli. we're with the man who's made it his mission to document these lebanese artefacts before they disappear forever. and we catch up with karolis as he attempts to make it up sri lanka's historic hamilton canal by paddle. and this time, he's in it up to his neck.
6:49 am
so, don't go away. welcome back to patagonia here in the foot of chile, and just over there, you can see the border with argentina. and i can tell you — it gets pretty chilly down here. but let's head now to a totally different climate and a different part of the world. we're crossing to lebanon next, and to its second city, tripoli. it's not quite as well known as its big brother, beirut, to the south, but what it lacks in fame, it makes up for in public art and architecture. after hundreds of years out in the elements, its many artefacts are beginning to show signs of wear and neglect. but one man has made it his mission to record these islamic treasures for posterity. call to prayer.

the priority today of the people is not art. it's about finding medicine or finding food to sustain their daily life. despite this art still valuable and important, now it's more important than ever because we have a huge risk of losing it. i was born in tripoli, i was raised in tripoli, my family's also from tripoli. tripoli's everything to me. what i really like in this city, it's like a really authentic city, yet it's still working since its establishment, so it never stopped. and the people here, they are
6:51 am
fighters and survivors. when i started really exploring this city, ijust saw how rich the city is like in art and architecture and culture and tradition. we go right, then we go left, then there is a door of an old facade of a school. then if you notice, you see a beautiful pattern just in the middle of the stairway going up. can you imagine how much work this will take, someone will design it and then someone will try to sculpt it and to carve it into stone and then someone to come and place it here to decorate this facade and then just forget about it, easy. look at this example, by the way. you would see 700 year old patterns just covered with graffiti.
6:52 am
they could have done it on a lot of other places, whyjust here, on top of there? and look at this two beautiful schools. you can see the history of the city literally fading away. the purpose of this project is to document and digitalise islamic art that we have in the city to preserve them for the future generations. one, two, three. after taking three photos from three angles, i will be importing them to this programme so i can take the mutual points and then create a photo, so i have a very sharp 2d
6:53 am
version of the pattern itself. god forbid if anything occurs in the city, it would be a catastrophe because we would be losing the original artwork but since we documented these artworks we are able to create the exact professional version that the artist used 700 years ago. a lot of my work now reflects the history of the art of the city and working with these old materials and artistic designs, ifelt like i was part of history now. like there's something of me attached to these stone pieces. i wish i could be positive, hoping good things for the future of lebanon and tripoli, but the problem is we are losing a lot of good minds travelling and emigrating everywhere in the world.
6:54 am
but i hope one day tripoli would regain its power and its glory and that the people would have more time and more energy to respect art and to love the city, and maybe to see it the way i see it. explorer karolis mieliauskas is on his latest challenge, paddling 50 kilometres down sri lanka's canal network to the capital colombo. after meeting people leading the efforts to clean the waterways, wejoin him in negombo for the next stage of his journey. this time, he's navigating a lagoon, visiting the city's largest fish market and exploring the forest that could prove a vital tool in the fight against climate change.
6:55 am
so i am here on the canal this morning, starting my trip to the lagoon. this is actually how the water looks like. yes, you are right, it's black. i entered the lagoon just a few hundred metres away, what i expect now at least a much clearer and clean water. in the beginning it doesn't look like any better but further on, looks promising. they say the biggest fish market is here on the corner and i must visit right now. so the biggest fish market here in negombo, they say most of the products here comes from the lagoon but some fishermen also come from the ocean. let's have a look, looks very busy.
6:56 am
i was told that here in sri lanka fish stocks have fallen dramatically in recent years and that pollution might be part of the problem. in this fish market, recently they don't have a lot of fish because the people, they are throwing a lot of the plastic, something like that. 50 going out of the market, i want to see the mangroves. i see a little waterway, mangroves. to go somewhere inside, you know? mangroves can be a very good weapon in fight against climate change.
6:57 am
somebody said to me that during afternoon hours, some grilling proccesses are going on in the mangroves, but funny thing is, is not so easy to see something. but i can feel the nice smell of something is grilling. maybe is my lunch. what's going on? food time. food time? wow, looks amazing. prawns? from the lagoon? ok, so is the same as i saw in market today. thank you! i think it is too much for me! thank you, i appreciate it. put some lime on the fish and prawns, extremely good. this fish is amazing, and this is, i know already from yesterday is
6:58 am
coconut with something. with lemongrass! amazing. i better go, i guess. don't want to take it too long today. 40 past two and these kilometres around ten kilometres probably still awaits on the lagoon and is not so easy. i was expecting lagoon to be huge, but now when i'm here, it looks like middle of nowhere. i think i have a little crack here, i don't know. something unexpected has just happened and i have lots of water in my boat. i don't know exactly why yet but here it is. probably leaking somewhere.
6:59 am
i discovered it's the waves spilling over into the boat. by the time i get most of the water out, night is approaching fast. still a few kilometres to go and the sun is down already. now is absolutely the time to get out from here. i can see already lights there in front of me, maybe in a couple of kilometres and this is all saints church lights. i googled already before and now i have to reach this place otherwise is maybe too dangerous to stay, there is so called crocodiles. i haven't seen them but i don't want to feel them for sure. and is getting completely dark now so probably will not manage to reach the place with any kind of light. i have a torch. so now remains tojust keep going. and do join us next week to see if karolis makes it all the way to the end.
7:00 am
also coming up, rajan's in dublin on the 100th birthday of one of its best—known but most challenging classic novels and meeting what have to be some of the luckiest librarians in the world. wow! look at this! the ceiling is incredible and it goes on and on for a long, long way. at must be at least 60 metres or some. and you can see more of our recent travels on the bbc iplayer. you can check us out on facebook and instagram too. just search for bbc travel show and look for that little blue logo. but until next time from all of us here in chile and patagonia, it's goodbye.
7:01 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and nina warhurst. our headlines today: voting's underway in the french presidential elections. it's a close race between president macron and far—right candidate marine le—pen. eight people, including a baby, have been killed in a russian missile strike on a block of flats in ukraine. us secretary of state anthony blinken will visit kyiv today, with the ukrainians expected to ask for more american weapons. shortages of food banks, as donations are falling just as when it is needed.
7:02 am
still the heavyweight champion, but for how long? tyson fury knocks out dillian whyte then says the fight in front of a record crowd at wembley may be his last. good morning. we'll be talking a lot about dry weather for today and for the week ahead. a few sneaky showers to come as well and we will lock some of those down in the detailfor you, coming up. it's sunday the 24th april. our main story: voters in france will choose today whether to re—elect emmanuel macron as president, or replace him with far—right candidate marine le pen. the polls suggest mr macron is the favourite to win, but it's expected to be a much closer race than their election run—off five years ago, as our europe correspondent, nick beake, reports. the french are not exactly thrilled with what is on offer at this election. the frustration at this market in the capital is the same story
7:03 am
across the country. just listen to this office worker and this retired fireman. they will not be voting for anyone. translation: | will not vote i for le pen because i hate the far right but macron is not that different. he is president of the rich, arrogant and contemptuous. translation: i do not hate marine. she got better, is calmer and more mature. he speech is more poised but i do not agree with her on the more sensitive policies. another demonstration this weekend. street protests have been a running theme in macron's time in office. the economy is growing but millions say they feel poorer. marine le pen has seized on this also also won support by presenting a softer image but still has controversial policies, including banning muslim women wearing a headscarf in public. sarah, who is reluctantly voting
7:04 am
for macron, does not trust the polls that suggest le pen will lose. i am still worried because i used to believe that brexit would not happen and donald trump would not get elected and each time i got up the morning just after and realised it had happened. and it could go the same way in france. a le pen presidency would notjust have an impact on communities across the country but would also change france's place in the world because she wants to replace the european union with something else and pull out french troops from nato's military commands. these are radical proposals at a time when there is war in europe. and marine le pen has been under fire to explain her previous admiration for vladimir putin, including this visit to the kremlin five years ago. both candidates have been desperately trying to sell themselves to the undecided millions, maybe not as their ideal
7:05 am
choice, but the best offer in front of them. nick beake, bbc news, paris. we'rejoined now from paris by catherine nicholson, europe affairs editor at france 24. good to see you. the polling opens at six o'clock this morning, uk time and we are told it is a tight race and we are told it is a tight race and we are told it is a tight race and we think that president macron may edge it but what is it looking like where you are? it is may edge it but what is it looking like where you are?— like where you are? it is a beautiful _ like where you are? it is a beautiful day _ like where you are? it is a beautiful day but - like where you are? it is a beautiful day but french i like where you are? it is a - beautiful day but french people are not really skipping to the polls today to cast their ballots. if you look at the results of the first round, there were more french voters who either abstained or voted for other candidates and voted for either micron or the pen and that is why we that sentiment that we heard before ——at le pen where they are finding it hard to take part in this election and many are saying it is a
7:06 am
choice between the plague and the cholera, a phrase we are hearing a lot at the moment in france and on social media. an interesting wait until 8:00pm paris time tonight when we will get the exit poll, which is a pretty good estimation of what the final result will be and turnout will play a big part in that as well, if people are going to hold their noses, as they say here in france, and go back for one of the candidates who are not the favourites of the majority of voters. it favourites of the ma'ority of voters. , ., ., , favourites of the ma'ority of voters. , ., ., voters. it is fair to say they are two very _ voters. it is fair to say they are two very different _ voters. it is fair to say they are two very different candidates, | voters. it is fair to say they are i two very different candidates, are there any issues that unite them? there are global issues, clearly, ukraine will paint in the debate but also the rising cost of living, we are seeing in france as well as here, the cost of everything is going up. does either candidate have a solution to that problem? tthink a solution to that problem? i think both candidates _ a solution to that problem? i think both candidates would _ a solution to that problem? i think both candidates would say, - a solution to that problem? i think both candidates would say, yes, i a solution to that problem? i think. both candidates would say, yes, one thing that would unite them is they are both talking about solutions to
7:07 am
cost of living issues, purchasing power in france but coming at it from different angles. in a tv debate on wednesday night, emmanuel macron picked apart the calculations that marine le pen made in her manifesto. he said for example her pledge to cancel the household items would only amount to savings of about 13 euros per year. marine le pen as you heard in the report, is accusing emmanuel macron of only looking out for wealthy people, definitely something cutting through with a lot of voters with marine le pen this time around. i think the differences between these two candidates are very fundamental. very ideological. emmanuel macron was keen to point out, particularly in the debates, reminding france that marine le pen wants to ban women wearing a more slim headscarf anywhere in public, outside their homes, and she wants to have a
7:08 am
france first policy, giving french citizens presidents over other residents who may be legal in france, for example, many british people have stated residency on a permit, people who are french citizens will get advantage in job interviews etc and these are nationalist policies which are seeing as state sanctioned discrimination is something that emmanuel macron is trying to shine a light on and showing that these are fundamental ideological differences with marine le pen. but of course they are trying to tackle the same day—to—day issues in france. they are trying to tackle the same day-to-day issues in france. marine le pen with — day-to-day issues in france. marine le pen with comprehensively - day-to-day issues in france. marine j le pen with comprehensively beaten last time they went head—to—head. what accounts for her seeming rise in popularity this time around? is it the idea that people outside of the big cities feeling forgotten by the big cities feeling forgotten by the traditional politicians, if you can call them that? last the traditional politicians, if you can call them that?—
7:09 am
can call them that? last come around, emmanuel— can call them that? last come around, emmanuel macron . can call them that? last come i around, emmanuel macron won can call them that? last come - around, emmanuel macron won the second time around 66%, to marine le pen's 33% but maybe now more of a gap of 35—45, we will have to see. there is definitely a lot of talk outside the capital about the fact they feel forgotten, they feel that emmanuel macron has even, you know, he turned his nose up at them. he's had many occasions where he is has been out on the streets and said things about that have gone badly and said things about protesters and he certainly out pounding the streets on this campaign as long as marine le pen has. the president was waiting to even step in at the last minute. marine le pen has waited five years to campaign and she suffered her image quite visibly. i covered her campaign last time around in 2017. you can see when she
7:10 am
spokein around in 2017. you can see when she spoke in a tv debate she was making a pointed effort to be less aggressive, for example an even turned down some of the colour she wears out and about and on social media she is playing up the fact that she breeds cats, so many pictures of her with cute cats! but many opponents are saying that we think marine le pen is a danger to french republic and democratic ideals and are saying do not be fooled by the softer image. they believe in her manifesto there is still a very hardline, nationalistic, far right policy in their. ., , nationalistic, far right policy in their. ., ., their. really good to have your insi . ht. their. really good to have your insight. thank _ their. really good to have your insight. thank you. _ their. really good to have your insight. thank you. whatever i their. really good to have your i insight. thank you. whatever the outcome it would be quite historic because it would be for president macron, he would be the first french president to be re—elected in 20 years but if marine le pen manages to win, it changes things a lot. either way, to win, it changes things a lot. eitherway, history to win, it changes things a lot. either way, history will be made.
7:11 am
at least eight people, including a three—month—old baby — are now known to have died following missile strikes in the southern ukrainian city of odesa. after the latest shelling, president zelensky announced that the us secretary of state, antony blinken, will arrive in kyiv today, as the country enters its third month of war with russia. vincent mcaviney reports. thick, black smoke cutting through the calm of a saturday afternoon in odesa. this was the aftermath of a missile strike on the city. homes collapsed into one another. cars crushed and burnt by burnt out rubble and glass. through the debris, firefighters led those who could still walk to safety. others were not so lucky. this man lived in the building and posted these images of his wife and three—month—old daughter, kyra, who were both killed in the attack. the ukrainian authorities have said the missiles were fired from the caspian sea. two hit military facilities
7:12 am
with another two hitting residential buildings. translation: at first we had explosions and were far away. but next there was a massive very loud explosion next to us. all the windows were smashed in my apartment and my parents' apartment. they instantly smelt smoke, a very strong smell and we gathered everything we could and ran, ran from the 12th floor. at a press conference in one of care's metro stations which has doubled as a bomb shelter for the past eight weeks, president zelensky could barely contain his anger. translation: a 3—month—old child was killed! one—month—old when the war started. can you imagine what is going on? filthy scumbags! how else can they be called? there are no other words. the president also revealed that the us secretary of state anthony linkin and us defence secretary lloyd austin will visit ukraine today,
7:13 am
the most senior officials to visit since the world began. last night, while the russian president was at a service for orthodox easter, president zelensky called for a direct meeting with him to bring the war peace talks have not taken place and putin seems in no mood to repent for his aggressive invasion over the past 60 days. with no sign for the west easing support for the ukraine, may he be ready to resurrect those peace talks? vinnie mcaviney, bbc news. some heartbreaking pictures coming out of odesa. what direction is this conflict taking? it is out of odesa. what direction is this conflict taking?— conflict taking? it is interesting because odesa _ conflict taking? it is interesting because odesa is _ conflict taking? it is interesting because odesa is not _ conflict taking? it is interesting because odesa is not on - conflict taking? it is interesting because odesa is not on the i because odesa is not on the frontline. the frontline is in the east, the donbas area but i dare say while i was speaking to an air defence security expert and they said that one of the issues ukraine has as it does not have an upper air defences to cover the whole country.
7:14 am
where they are needed is in the east. what we might be saying here and this is just one east. what we might be saying here and this isjust one persons analysis is an tax eating places like lviv and other places which may not be of other strategic defences but it forces ukraine to spread air defences giving russia clear error of the skies in the east where airpower will make the difference. and we expect us secretary of state antony blinken to visit later today. do we know where he is going? thu. do we know where he is going? no, this do we know where he is going? tin, this announcement was made in this extraordinary press conference where were at last night, taking place in a kyiv metro station, 70 metres underground and you could hear the chains going by. there, president zelensky announced that us secretary of state antony blinken and defence secretary lloyd austin will be visiting. that has not been confirmed yet by washington but whether we can read that they are
7:15 am
annoyed about this being announced in advance. it would normally take place in the capital but that was not confirmed. what we do know is that any announcement or any visit will be concerning military hardware. that is what ukraine needs and have been asking for. it says what it is getting an urgency and right numbers and he said yesterday, president zelensky, they are not coming for tourism purposes, they are not coming for a tragic selfie. what they are doing is to provide equipment, support and military assistance that ukraine so badly needs. a , assistance that ukraine so badly needs. , ., it is quarter past seven. let's go to the weekend weather with susan. good morning. it looks so calm here in this picture, doesn't it? it is a beach scene, so we don't have any trees or anything for contacts, but this is in northumberland. along the length of the north sea coast, there will be notable winds. that is
7:16 am
wendy's yesterday, but blustery and cool for these north sea coastal spots. but we should get sunshine today. easterly when coming across an area of high across iceland, and low pressure in france, wet weather for election day. for us, some showers in the northernmost length of low pressure to run across the south—west of england in the coming hours. that will clear away from the isles of scilly in the afternoon, then isolated showers, the midlands, northern ireland, but overall dry, just 11 or 12 down the north sea coasts. 16 to 18 inland. through the evening and overnight, more dry weather, clear skies for many, isolated showers across the north—east of england. a bit more cloud for eastern scotland. it shouldn't be quite so cool here as it was yesterday. then we look to monday daytime and we see our
7:17 am
high—pressure shifting to the west, allowing cloud to develop through monday, with more north—easterly winds. monday again no guaranteed rain for any winds. monday again no guaranteed rainforany one winds. monday again no guaranteed rain for any one spot across the uk. but i think we will have a greater ability for showers to break up more widely. you can see the speckling now behind me. if anything, it will be the eastern coastal counties that stayed biased and brighter road today. —— that stay driest. 15 or 16, perhapsjust getting into double figures in the north sea coast. monday and tuesday, we keep a high. we sit on the eastern flank of the high as we further, go further into the week that taps into arctic air anything by tuesday we will bring quite a bit part of the north sea eventually into the majority of the uk by the afternoon. with the cooler air and it will add to to a chillier field. through the week ahead, temperatures around average for the
7:18 am
time of year, a bit below, just nine in aberdeen. as the week goes on, they could taper offjust slightly below average. lots of fine weather, as i said, for gardeners and growers. one more thing to bear in mind is with lighter winds towards the end of the week, and in the relatively chilly arctic air, in a few spots, the chance of frost. a lot of fine weather to their week. it is interesting that we haven't been —— that we have been here about frost, but also the importance of watering. for frost, but also the importance of waterina. ., , ., watering. for trees with the lower waterline, not _ watering. for trees with the lower waterline, not doing _ watering. for trees with the lower waterline, not doing too - watering. for trees with the lower waterline, not doing too badly, i watering. for trees with the lower| waterline, not doing too badly, but anything _ waterline, not doing too badly, but anything in — waterline, not doing too badly, but anything in shallower layers of the garden, _ anything in shallower layers of the garden, i— anything in shallower layers of the garden, i was out yesterday afternoon and it is really, really dry _ afternoon and it is really, really dry those _ afternoon and it is really, really dry. those easterly winds tend to be

7:45 am
here's susan with this morning's weather. a lovely image from our weather watchers in than yesterday. blustery winds for the entire uk coming from the east. we set between an area of low pressure which is across france and a big high drifting across towards iceland. the easterly winds will pull a few showers in across the south—west of bingen for the next few hours. dry here for the
7:46 am
afternoon and perhaps then we'll feed a few showers into northern england, the midlands, this afternoon. very scattered. one or two for southern scotland. always coloured in the north sea coast. best of the sunshine we could seem 18 degrees with some shelter. tonight overall dry and we have enough of a breeze to hold up a frost and most areas and want to get quite as chilly as in the nightjust gone. rural lows of three or four or 5 degrees. monday dawned bright and sunny but perhaps through the day we will see more cloud developed than today and maybe a few more showers. it is like trying to spot bubbles on a pan of boiling water, you can't pin down exactly where you will see them. there is no given rain for any one area of the uk on monday but there is a greater chance of showers but for eastern counties i think it
7:47 am
will stay dry. a little cooler here in the north—easterly wind and temperatures sliding down for all of us as we look into the week ahead. we'll be back with the headlines at eight, but right now it's time for click. in the shadow of battersea power station in london, the future of mankind hangs in the balance.
7:48 am
our two heroes are on a desperate mission to save the earth from being wiped out by an asteroid... hang on, you're bashing some boxes around now. what's this? ooh! oh, ok, well done! 0h! ..and, quite frankly, they're being hopeless about it. do you want some nitrogen? can i throw it to you? ok, i've got no feet! yes, throw it to me. all right, look, here we go. can i catch it? got it! ok, well, what am i actually doing with it now? um, i don't know — hang onto it, i suppose. well, is that why you've given it to me, because you don't know what to do with it? this is a vr escape room in space, where the objects you pick up and drop bounce around in zero g. it really shows how vr can create experiences that would be impossible to achieve in a real escape room. but itjust looks like any landmass with some sea next to it! yeah, but there's a long wiggly bit! i don't recognise the curve. there's a long wiggly bit over here, right? yeah, although what's funny, of course, is that escape rooms started online,
7:49 am
then they moved to the real world and now, they're now becoming this sort of next gen hybrid thing. true. not that it matters, as right now, i think we're running out of time! both: argh! lara chuckles oh, we didn't manage to save the world. i'm 5 o rryl yeah, you've all gone the way of the dinosaurs, i'm afraid. apologies. we've known for some time now that video games can help alleviate stress and anxiety, and only last year, we looked at a device called the mdoloris, which is usually used by doctors to see whether patients who are sedated are feeling pain or not. yeah, but they've also been conducting other studies using the machine, specifically with kids who have cancer, to find out whether playing video games could do more for them than just be fun. omar mehtab has been finding out more. ah, nervous. i'm pumped, i'm excited! i'm a little bit nervous.
7:50 am
we've arrived at the hospital la paz in madrid and we're here to meet the kids fighting cancer. hello! omar chuckles why's that? well, it's because i'm about to play some video games with them! this here is my new friend,, marco. how long have you been in the hospital? laughter ah, pokemon? yes. yeah? i have pokemon as well. i've got my pokemon — can i get my pokemon? can i show him? do you know how to play? go for it, man. check out my pokemon. now, we're notjust here playing games for the sake of it. rather, it's said to reduce the pain that these kids feel. a trial at this hospital has been studying these children, who often feel pain due to their condition and the adverse effects of chemotherapy. the mdoloris machine. it monitors a person's autonomic nervous system, which unconsciously regulates body processes such as breathing, blood pressure and heart rate so doctors can,
7:51 am
at a glance, see the level of distress a patient may be in. the lower the number out of 100, the more they are in. it quantifies pain. we looked at this machine last year, where doctors said it helped assess how much pain someone was actually in, so they can administer the right amount of painkillers so as not to over— or under—dose them, and it was critical in treating covid patients as well. but now, they're using it to try and prove one of the most popular theories around. there have been various studies over the years looking into the relationship between gaming and pain, and by using this machine, they can objectively say when someone is feeling more or less pain. but why are video games having this effect?
7:52 am
now, this trial has been peer—reviewed and published in thejournal of medical internal research. they had 20 kids in total playing video games for an average of 2.3 hours every day, and that was enough to bring about less pain and less need for morphine, showing how effective this non—medical, noninvasive hobby may be. ok, me personally, i easily get vexed with video games if things don't go my way. but for these kids, not so much. the theory is that adolescent kids can gain more pleasure from video games than any other age range. i imagine he's been in pain...
7:53 am
another level! i imagine he's been in pain, but right now, that doesn't matter! because he's just fully absorbed and right now, all — this is all he cares about. daniel here, for instance, was one of the first trialists and immediately saw the benefits. and it all began when this psp was handed to a patient and they similarly noticed how affixed the kid was to it. now they want to take

7:55 am
so, over the last few weeks, we've been looking at some of the films nominated for best visual effects at this year's oscars, and this week, it is the turn ofjames bond! did you know that no time to die is the first bond movie that's been nominated in the best visual effects category in 43 years? moonraker was the last one in 1979. yes, of course. and here is some of the amazing work that went into the film. now your enemy is my enemy. his name is safin. what does he want? revenge. me. the bond films have a rich heritage of shooting all of their extraordinary action for real, and this film was absolutely no different. there was visual effects in it, but they were not up front and centre. so for instance, in the norway lake sequence, the production actually went to norway and they filmed on a real lake, a real
7:56 am
frozen lake in norway. but as with any production, when you shoot throughout the day, the footage looks different from shot to shot. there was kind of one or maybe two shots which everyone was happy with the lighting conditions. we had a task — to try and match the lighting across all of the shots, and in order to do that, we simulated a cg world where the lighting was exactly the same, and then we used a number of techniques to copy and mimic what we were seeing in the computer. so, rather than — we still used the photography and built on top of it rather than replacing it whole hog, but we used the simulation to tell us what that should look like. we had an amazing special effects team that really did — and a stunt team that really did jump land rovers through the air, and when we needed to replace things like that for lighting orforfilling in the background, we kept exactly that stunt.
7:57 am
so, on a james bond film, no—one really wants to resort to cgi stunts and things like that, so they really do capture everything in camera. but when they, for sort of timing reasons, they take a chunk out of the middle of a chase, suddenly the continuity of where those vehicles are and where they need to be sort of goes out the window. that's when we do come in. we try and find a plate that maybe has got the toyota in it, which is bond's car, but it doesn't have the land rovers there, so had a motorbike. so we'll erase the motorbike but we'll put the land rovers in. and that's the kind of work that we are doing. it's not very flashy work to put in the grass that was completely chewed up by the stunt team and to replace that, but it does need to be — it does need to look really accurate.
7:58 am
and the attention to detail that our environments team had to go to to model the tufts of the grass that matched the scottish highlands, where they were shooting — unless we go to those sort of lengths, you don't end up believing it and it all feels like a bit of a fudge, and we're not interested in fudging it in 2022. and i'm afraid that's it for the short cut of click for this week. the full—length version is of course waiting for you right now on iplayer. and as ever, you can keep up with the team on social media. find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter, @bbcclick. thanks for watching. we'll see you soon. bye— bye.
8:00 am
voting's underway in the french presidential elections. it's a close race between president macron and far—right candidate marine le pen. eight people, including a baby, have been killed in a russian missile strike on a block of flats in ukraine. us secretary of state anthony blinken will visit kyiv today, with the ukrainian's expected to ask for more american weapons. still the heavyweight champion, but for how long? tyson fury knocks out dillian whyte then says the fight in front of a record crowd at wembley may be his last. good morning. we are going to be talking a lot about dry weather for today and for the week ahead, but there are a few sneaky showers to come as well and i'll be trying to pin some of those down for you in the detail coming up. defying the doctors. 95—year—old harold, told he may never walk again after a fall, just keeps on running.
8:01 am
it's sunday the 24th april. our main story. voters in france will choose today whether to re—elect emmanuel macron as president, or replace him with far—right candidate marine le pen. the polls suggest mr macron is the favourite to win, but it's expected to be a much closer race than their election run—off five years ago ? as our europe correspondent nick beake reports. the french aren't exactly thrilled with what is on offer this election. the frustration we found in this market in the capital is the same story across the country, just listen to this man an office worker and patrick a retired fireman. they will not be fighting —— like voting for everyone. translation: i am not going to vote for the far right because. translation translation: i do not hate marrying, she has got

8:04 am
to be quite low, so there are questions over the implications that could have. macron faces the possibility of being the first president to be re—elected for the second time in 20 years. polls suggest that president macron could edge out over his rival. we'rejoined now from paris by our europe correspondent nick beake, nick what key issues set these two candidates apart? the main issue in the british papers here are those either spoiling those ballots. are you sensing those from speaking to voters?— ballots. are you sensing those from speaking to voters? good morning. we have come to — speaking to voters? good morning. we have come to the _ speaking to voters? good morning. we have come to the town _ speaking to voters? good morning. we have come to the town hall _ speaking to voters? good morning. we have come to the town hall in - speaking to voters? good morning. we have come to the town hall in the i have come to the town hall in the 18th district of paris and there has been a steady stream of voters for the last hour or so. you might catch a glimpse of the ukraine flag that
8:05 am
flies here. today the french people are choosing a president who are leading them at a time when there is war in europe. the turnout might be pretty low today. a number of reasons for that, the easter holidays continue for a lot of people but more so a lot of french people but more so a lot of french people do not like the two candidates they have got in front of them today. if you look back to next to the first round, there was a far left candidate who got 20% of the first round vote. the president for the past five years and le pen from the past five years and le pen from the far right, they are trying to hoover up these votes today. from the people we have been speaking to n paris and in other parts of the country, they don't really like what is in offer and they don't like the vision either has for france. marion le pen has tried to soften her image, she has talked about how she has been a mother of the nation, through lockdown she has been breeding cats. her detractors say,
8:06 am
look at her policies and they are extreme in some ways, she wants to ban muslim women from wearing a headscarf in public. yes, she will pick up some support that others will say that is not the president they want and president macron says her policies are racist. an interesting one to watch today. the poll suggest that emmanuel macron could win but we spoke to someone yesterday who said that when it comes to trump and greg that, she did not expect it and she has a feeling something like that could happen again here in france. —— brexit. t happen again here in france. -- brexit. ., , , ., , brexit. i hope you get some rest before the _ brexit. i hope you get some rest before the results _ brexit. i hope you get some rest before the results come - brexit. i hope you get some rest before the results come in. i brexit. i hope you get some rest before the results come in. a i brexit. i hope you get some rest i before the results come in. a busy day ahead. it is six minutes past eight o'clock. at least eight people — including a three—month—old baby — are now known to have died following missile strikes in the southern ukrainian city of odesa. president zelensky condemned the shelling in a press conference, as the country enters its third month of war with russia.
8:07 am
our correspondent carrie davies sent us this report from odesa. the last few weeks have been relative quiet here in odesa, particularly since the sinking of the russian warship in the black sea. many here had hoped that this could be the start of the beginning of some form of normal life. yesterday's attack shows that no matter where you are in ukraine, nowhere is immune from the violence of war. according to the russian authorities, despite the use of anti—missile defences yesterday, they were still hit on military facilities and two residential blocks, and of course we know now that in of one of those residential blocks, a mother and her three—month—old baby girl died. yesterday president zelensky, in an address in kyiv metro station, described the russians as filthy scumbags who carried out this attack. now today is also orthodox easter sunday here in ukraine, and of course, many people would have been hoping to have been able to enjoy this holiday. few will be able to do that, worried about what might come next. our correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv.
8:08 am
good morning to you. yesterday we were discussing how some cities were trying to get back to some sort of normality including odesa. but that is not the case. _ normality including odesa. but that is not the case. absolutely. - normality including odesa. but that is not the case. absolutely. there l is not the case. absolutely. there are some thinking this could be part of a deliberate russian strategy. they are trying to terrorise the population here but by spreading these attacks out to other cities, what they are doing is stopping the ukrainian steeple following the air defence systems to the east. it is the east of their country, the donbas, where the fighting is really heavy. maybe they're thinking is that as long as they can keep ukrainian air defence systems, which are crucial in this battle, if they can keep them necessary in places like lviv and other places, they can

8:10 am
waiting for confirmation. that level of support has been crucial for the ukrainians and they will need it going forward as the russians renew their offensive in the east. joe. their offensive in the east. joe, aood to their offensive in the east. joe, good to have — their offensive in the east. joe, good to have ufos _ their offensive in the east. joe, good to have ufos again this morning stop thank you. —— to have you with us. the attack on the southern city of odesa was a shock to residents, as fighting had been mainly focused in the east of the country. we've been hearing from some of those who were caught up in the missile strike. translation: i got burns as the car was burning down and i touch the fire. i did not feel at first but i later people notice my injuries and pointed them out. i did not even feel them, so shocked i was. translation: all the windows were smashed in our apartment. more damage was done to the fourth and fifth floors. when we were running down stairs, the more
8:11 am
smoke we smelled. we even wanted to turn around when we reached the fourth and fifth floors and it was impossible to breathe. i was removing debris and we managed to escape. it was very hard. it really does mark a turnaround. some cities were trying to get back to normality. in two, the opera house had reopened and rehearsals were happening again. some markets were opening. people were trying to get back to normality, and clearly we are hearing from joke and correspondence in the region, that strategy has changed. it seemed to be it was poking its resources on the east and the donbas region where the east and the donbas region where the disputed territory is but this move to odesa which was not
8:12 am
expected, is from ukraine and trying to dilutes ukrainian forces to make sure that attack in the east is successful. we are keeping a close eye on those evacuations of civilians from certain parts of the country, particularly mariupol. we talked yesterday about whether those humanitarian corridors would reopen to help people re—evacuate. recent reports say that is not happening, people are not able to get out from where they are sheltering to get to somewhere more safe. we'rejoined now by the ukrainian mp oleksiy goncharenko who is in odesa.
8:13 am
yesterday was orthodox easter eve. today we have orthodox easter and that was completely unexpected. i heard explosions very close, it was several calamities from where higher have been at the moment. —— kilometres. this awful attack, eight people killed including a three—month—old baby. it is really like... it is like the bible, the blood of newborns on their hands. and they are like devils, to attack odesa, a big city, and very beautiful city. to attack the centre, civilian residences. the russian ministry of defence told after this attack, the attack some depot of ammunition. we are three months baby was? just a residential
8:14 am
building was destroyed and killed all the families. this family, a three—month—old baby, her mother and grandmother, all of them were killed. theirfatherjust grandmother, all of them were killed. their fatherjust left to the shop and it happened. so it is absolutely awful and it shows the way of the russian war. it is so barbaric and so anti—human, it is so... ido barbaric and so anti—human, it is so... i do not know how to say and especially when vladimir putin is saying with all these orthodox rushes, saying that they believe in god and at the same moment they are killing children in ukraine. lautheh killing children in ukraine. when there is a moment _ killing children in ukraine. when there is a moment like - killing children in ukraine. when there is a moment like this i killing children in ukraine. when there is a moment like this in i killing children in ukraine. when there is a moment like this in two which is unpredictable, why does it say to you in ukraine about what is happening in ukraine and where it is headed to next? it is happening in ukraine and where it is headed to next?— headed to next? it is saying that everything _ headed to next? it is saying that everything is _ headed to next? it is saying that everything is continuing, - headed to next? it is saying that everything is continuing, there i headed to next? it is saying that i everything is continuing, there are no red lines for these people, no

8:17 am
want this humanitarian crisis, this refugee crisis. the biggest since the second world war and these people who were already looking further civilians to come back home and take off this burden from european countries like poland and romania and others. now they cannot do this because they see that unfortunately their native cities are still under attack. mariupol, unfortunately their native cities are still underattack. mariupol, i just spoke an hour ago with the head of the ukrainian —— rack ukrainian marines there and he said the situation is so horrible with hundreds of civilians in these last strongholds which is controlled by ukrainian troops and he is begging desperately for these humanitarian corridors. they are concerned first of all about safety of civilians and arms from the international community to stop this awful war cry

coming up to 20 past eight. here's susan with this morning's weather. this picture gives you an idea of how dry the ground is at the moment, this image coming in. the machines have been struggling to get on because the water —— white is not waterlogged. not at the moment, it is so dry. this month we are down on 50% of rainfall totals. this area of high pressure is going to keep things dry for the remainder of the month. no given set of —— where the and image images but we have some this morning for the south—west of england, the tail end of a low in fronts. this afternoon the odd

8:22 am
monday, into tuesday, a direct northerly on the eastern side of high pressure. that takes us into arctic air, making things feel cooler. in the sunshine, it feels pleasantly warm but it looks like many others could lose the sunshine through tuesday as thicker cloud drifts across the uk reaching the majority of areas by the afternoon. temperatures around 16 degrees, nine for aberdeen and newcastle. we will stay there in the arctic air through the week with a northerly breeze, a lot of dry weather. you will see some sunny spells coming and going but not faultless the skies and sunshine. later in the week, the wind falling later and gardeners and growers, i know we are getting into late april but there is a chance of localised frosts. keep in touch with
8:23 am
your localised forecast as we go through the week as well. with the recent sunny weather, it's not surprising that many people have been enjoying a day at the beach — but it's come at a cost for some of the local wildlife. an animal charity says attacks on seals increased over the easter break — and it's urging visitors to stay away from the creatures when they next head to the coast. lizzie rose reports. seals on the beach, dolphins in the north sea. cheering. visitors to the east coast to have been enjoying wildlife at its best, recently. but for one yoga group on withernsea beach, thatjoy turned to horror when a seal was attacked. we found that people were throwing stones and sticks and things at it. at one point, the police had to be called to get rid of the people that were harassing the seal until it could be rescued.
8:24 am
and that seal wouldn't have needed to have been rescued if people had just left it alone. i just can't believe that people would do that with what is essentially a wild animal. and one charity says it isn't the only incident it's seen this month. probally the worst incident that we had was this one at hornsea, which involved seal pup alone on a beach that had been harassed by dogs, it had been pelted with stones, and also dragged by its rear flippers, unfortunately — so quite a traumatic experience for that youngster. the charity says it's receiving an unprecedented number of calls. earlier this year in flamborough, a seal watcher was accused of causing seals to panic after apparently climbing down a cliff. and a dog seriously injured a seal pup at spurn. with the good weather, and the holiday, of course, there has been a lot of people around and the number of reports we have received seems suddenly to have skyrocketed, unfortunately. but this is something that we are generally hearing about on an almost day—to—day basis.
8:25 am
wildlife charities are reminding people thatjust because there may be seals on beaches like this, it doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong. if you do think they're injured, you can call them and you can enjoy them from a distance. and with more beach days ahead, they're hoping people and seals can share the coast peacefully. joining us now is evangelos achilleos, manager of the east winch wildlife centre. nice to my thanks for a thousand it is a really serious issue. it seems there are two things going on, people deliberately attacking the seals and people who think they are trying to help, they are just trying to get up and closer to touch the seals, but both of them are hugely problematic, aren't they? then;r seals, but both of them are hugely problematic, aren't they? they can

recovery. he answered all the right questions. —— he answered all of our questions. i wonder how this pier and us because everybody was talking about them all this all this week, this big old british world heavyweight title at wembley in front of record crowd, tyson fury defending his title against dillian whyte and it was tyson fury who won. in the sixth round. this one maybe felt a little flatter and maybe it was because
8:33 am
tyson fury controlled the fight. dillian whyte came out in the first round and surprised everybody but then tyson fury has successfully defended his wbc heavyweight title in front of a record crowd at wembley stadium. the referee stopped the fight in the sixth round after he floored his opponent, dillian whyte, with a powerful upper cut, as ade adedoyin reports. a punch—perfect finish from tyson fury. the self—styled gypsy king remains the king of the ring. the atmosphere electric, the ring walk extravagant, it even included a seat on a throne, his opponent's entrance much more measured. after a cagey start, things got heated in the fourth round. this one of several warnings from the referee to keep the action clean. both began to find a target in the fifth, and then the finish a round later. a peach of a punch put
8:34 am
whyte flat on his back. brilliant and brutal. whyte staggered back to his feet, but was in no shape to continue. another fight, another emphatic win forfury. so what next? i'm going to go home with my wife, my kids. i've spent a lot of time on the road, i've been away a long time. i've fulfilled everything i've ever wanted to fulfil. i'm going to retire as the only second heavyweight in history after rocky marciano to retire undefeated. two—time ring magazine heavyweight champion of the world. there's never been a ring magazine holder in my era, not one of them. and there hasn't been a lineal in my era, either, because all roads lead to the gypsy king and i was unbeatable in this game. well, if this was his final fight, what a way to bow out. there were 94,000 fight fans here at wembley, the biggest event in european boxing history. another momentous night for tyson fury in what's been a colourful career. ade adedoyin, bbc news, wembley.

liverpool will have to beat merseyside rivals everton at anfield this afternoon to keep up the pressure on premier league leaders manchester city. pep guardiola's side extended their lead to four points after thrashing second from bottom watford 5—1 at the etihad. gabrieljesus scored four of the goals and made a fifth. city are fully aware of what they need to do to be champions. the situation didn't change for the victory today, so we have to win all the games to be champion. five left, three games away, ithink so, two at home and difficult ones because in the mix in between, you know, champions league, but a pleasure and so proud to be again to be here. celtic will restore their six—point lead at the top of the scottish premiership if they win at ross county this afternoon. at the other end of the table, despitejordan marshall opening the scoring dundee slipped closer to relegation after drawing with stjohnstone.
8:36 am
shaun rooney earned the perth side a draw and leaves dundee five points adrift at the bottom. well, in league two, there were extraordinary scenes as oldham athletic were relegated and dropped into the non—league for the first time in 116 years. they're the first former premier league side to drop out of the fourth tier, and they did on a day where the match was stopped and then concluded behind closed doors, because of a pitch invasion. joe lynskey reports. they've been a football league club for a century, but oldham athletic dropped out of league two with no—one in to see it — relegation announced in a tweet with the last 12 minutes of their match played behind closed doors. oldham trailed salford when fans came on the pitch. the invasion became a protest, and message for their owner, who took over with club in the third tier — now with one more relegation, they are in no league. this one feels just feels more significant — dropping out of the league, it holds the greater significance. you know, and i think, yeah,
8:37 am
it is just a really strange — it's a strange feeling, to be honest. it's hard to really put your finger on it. there were almost two hours from when the match was stopped to win it resumed — in silence. some videos showed fans' views being blocked. this was the strangest way to go down. once they've announced that the game had been abandoned and they've taken the nets down, it was always like finishing that game and then starting the game again and play the last 12 minutes. it was almost like being relegated twice. you kind of knew what was going to happen. and for english football it is significant. oldham are the first team to have played in the premier league to now play in no league — the first club to free fall down all divisions. it's a piece of history no—one wanted and one club's toughest day. joe lynskey, bbc news. max verstappen will start

the emilia romagna grand prix from pole after winning yesterday's sprint race. the world champion started the sprint race from pole, but championship leader charles leclerc got past him before the first corner at the imola circuit. the ferrari stayed in front until the penultimate lap when verstappen was finally able to get back in front and hold on to secure pole for the grand prix. it was another difficult day for mercedes, lewis hamilton ended up ilith, one place down on where he started. charles was actually having a bit more pace but then i think he ran out of tyres and we could close the gap and go for the move into turn two. i know maybe tomorrow it might be again a bit different but for sure, today it worked out for us to be on this compound, so very happy to have a clean sprint race at the end. at the world snooker championship defending champion mark selby was eliminated by china's yan bingtao last night. it was a gruelling match
8:39 am
with the longest frame in crucible history, 85 minutes and 22 seconds, beating the previous longest by five minutes and 51 seconds. after winning that the world number i6 cruised to victory in the final frame with a century break, he moves on to his first world chamionship quarterfinals where he will face three—time champion mark williams. england will return to the top of the women's six nations table if they beat ireland at welford road this lunchtime. yesterday scotland slipped to the bottom as italy secured their first win in this year's championship. italy gained momentum throughout the second half with tries from melissa bettoni and silvia turani to put the hosts firmly in control. scotland visit ireland in their next match. in australia megan mclaren has won the world event and to.

bees, butterflies and hundreds of other insects help to produce a significant amount of the food we eat — because they pollinate our crops. now, to boost the natural habitat for insects, 36,000 school children in plymouth have been given wildflower seeds to plant in their local communities. 0ur reporter, andrea 0rmsby, has more. eco superheroes don't like to hang around — first, scatter the seeds, do a little dance on them, then draw the flowers they'll become and within no time at all, as if by magic, watch them grow and attract bees, butterflies and hundreds of other insects. really planting a seed and it growing takes quite a long time, whereas here we can do it instantly. so what we're hoping is that that will encourage children to go, oh, 0k. so if i do something positive, actually, then that's part
8:41 am
of what we all do that's positive and together, 0k, we can do something to save the planet. i've really enjoyed the fact that it's really interactive where you can come out and you can plant seeds by yourself and you could make seed bombs. i've also learned some great flowers that are good for pollinating like the oxide daisy and the common poppy are really good for getting nectar out of. today i've learnt that if it wasn't for the bees and the flowers, um, the bees wouldn't be able to take the pollen from the flowers and they wouldn't be able to pollinate the crops. so we wouldn't be able to eat those crops and we wouldn't survive. so the bees and the flowers are really important to us. and it's a message that matters. since the 1930s, wild flower meadows in the uk have declined by 97%. and that's a really scary amount because wild flower habitats are really important for insects, pollinating insects, but also
8:42 am
mammals and birds and bats. so what do these young people want us to learn? just look after the wildlife and don't be careless about it because it's really important to us and everything around us. please, if you can, plant flowers all around your garden, because it really helps the ecosystem, even if it'sjust like a couple of flowers, it still makes a big difference. today's mass wild seeding has certainly created quite a buzz. andrea 0rmsby, bbc news, plymouth. we'rejoined now by gardener, diarmuid gavin. we saw the kids getting involved. they are having a bit of fun with it but underlying this is a really serious message. pollinators are responsible for so much of the food we consume. if we do not have and we will go hungry. we we consume. if we do not have and we will go hungry-— will go hungry. we will be in real trouble. the _ will go hungry. we will be in real trouble. the message _ will go hungry. we will be in real trouble. the message in - will go hungry. we will be in real trouble. the message in that - will go hungry. we will be in real. trouble. the message in that video was just fantastic to see those kids going out and understanding how easy it is to grow native wildflowers. they are important because those flowers are pollinators, they are
8:43 am
very open flowers, a bit like this primula i am showing you. as long as the d and in some cases the bats have access to that pollen they will cross pollinate much of our food crops. with intensive farming over the last 30 to 50 years that so many of our hedgerows are gone now and that has been the habitat traditionally for a lot of these insects so planting those, and it is almost overnight, planting all those native wild flowers will almost overnight, planting all those native wildflowers will go through the life—cycle and begin to flower in six or seven or eight weeks. find in six or seven or eight weeks. and the nice thing _ in six or seven or eight weeks. and the nice thing about them is, ben is green fingered and i am less patient that you can literally scatter them in your front garden and see what happens and we can still do our bit. today on sunday get yourself some

8:46 am
messy right through winter. in my garden i have taken out all the lawns and it is a relatively small garden and i have about 70 trees in there. the other big thing i do in my garden is collect all the green waste and turn it into a compost so any of the nettles, brambles, the all cutting back of their herbaceous granules, within six months it will make a really nice compost and that will be added to the soil and feed the soil and retain moisture around the soil and retain moisture around the plants with a plant needs it. we saw some great pictures, is that one of your gardens at chelsea? that was one of my gardens — of your gardens at chelsea? that was one of my gardens at _ of your gardens at chelsea? that was one of my gardens at chelsea - of your gardens at chelsea? that was one of my gardens at chelsea and - one of my gardens at chelsea and this is the garden reconstructed here at antrim castle gardens in northern ireland. it is a i7th—century landscape, maybe

at this morning's weather. if we look to the skies to offer any watering we will be struggling in the days and the week ahead. this is falmouth in cornwall and there is sun here at the moment but devon and cornwall is perhaps one of the places we can pick out for getting some fairly guaranteed showers today. the next few hours we will see showers hinting across devon and cornwall to the isles of scilly for the early afternoon. elsewhere essentially we are looking at the dry story. we mayjust get enough cloud to turn out the odd shower across england and the midlands this afternoon and the odd one for southern scotland and northern ireland. but for the majority of the uk it stays dry and we still have the easterly or north—easterly breeze. north sea coast to tempt just 12 to iii breeze. north sea coast to tempt just 12 to ia and for the west was
8:51 am
shelter and sunshine we could see just 12 to 1a and for the west was shelter and sunshine we could see 18 degrees this afternoon. this evening a few showers across northern england. elsewhere dried, winds a bit lighter perhaps across scotland over night but a bit more cloud here than the nightjust gone saw imelda start for monday and temperatures first thing somewhere around 5 degrees to 8 degrees. for monday, another fine day. this area of high pressure keeps things so settled at the moment. it will reorientate through the week ahead and shift west on monday and then drift back east later in the week. on monday that west would shift will perhaps enable a bit more cloud to develop as the high is weaker across the uk and that brings a better chance of the show is being more widely distributed across the uk on monday but they are still fairly scattered so quite limited even on monday the chances of most areas getting rain. monday into tuesday, the height drift back east. we are sitting on
8:52 am
its eastern flank and in the week ahead that pulls in arctic air so it will turn cooler. the sun still has some strength in it so it won't be the cold we associate with arctic here in winter —— with air from the arctic in winter and it looks like there will be more cloud so that will add to the cooler feel with temperatures two or three degrees down on tuesday by contrast with today and just 9 degrees along the coast. no real sign of any rain coming across the uk through this week and maybe into next weekend, it looks like the high never gives up enough to allow a proper band of rain to speak end. some brightness for the week ahead, a little bit cooler towards the end of the week. lighter winds towards the end of the week and clear skies by night, that could be a few pockets of frost so look at the regional detail for your forecast as we go through the week.
