good morning, joe. if we go back to the politics of what is happening in ukraine, of course we had the secretary general of the un visit ukraine this week, and russia, and meet with president putin. president zelensky, despite everything, despite the tragedy that we are seeing in ukraine, says he is still willing to hold peace talks. yes, absolutely. it is something he has said throughout this. he would still like to talk to president putin, to meet him face—to—face. but the question we have to ask ourselves is, at this point, what could those talks achieve? diplomatic solutions can be found when the two sides can find some common ground, some consensus in their positions as to what they could find acceptable from those negotiations. but here, with the russians, they essentially want to take a large part of ukraine's territory. ukrainians don'tjust territory. ukrainians don't just want territory. ukrainians don'tjust want that not to happen, they say they want to get back territory they lost in 2014. so as it stands, there is going to be no landing ground between the two sides. the other time a diplomatic solution or talks

would work is when one side has a massive or overwhelming military advantage. the other side essentially knows it's time is up and it has lost. given the forces that russia already has, given the support ukrainians are getting from nato, we're not there yet. basically both sides still think they have a chance on the battlefield and neither side will accept the others' conditions, so we can have talk of a diplomatic solution, but i don't think one is going to be coming out, bringing an outbreak of peace, any time soon. .. ~ bringing an outbreak of peace, any time soon. ., ~ time soon. no, i think your instincts — time soon. no, i think your instincts are _ time soon. no, i think your instincts are correct - time soon. no, i think your instincts are correct there. | time soon. no, i think your- instincts are correct there. thank you very much, joe. a report has called for the uk to retake control of the british virgin islands after its leader was charged with drug smuggling and money laundering. the islands�* premier, andrew fahie, was detained in miami by us agents posing as members of a mexican drug cartel. an inquiry which was set up because of concerns about corruption has recommended the territory's government should be dissolved and returned to uk rule. ghislaine maxwell has lost a bid to have her conviction for sex trafficking overturned, meaning she could face up to 55

years in prison when she is sentenced injune. maxwell was convicted of five charges for her role in the billionairejeffrey epstein's abuse of teenagers between 1994 and 2004. the judge ruled that the guilty verdicts were supported by the testimony and evidence presented at the trial. we will have a look at what the weather is doing in just a second, but before that, it is a good excuse to show you this lovely live shot from dorset. the sun is out, but what you are looking at is a man—made nest in poole, and you mightjust be able to make out a pair of ospreys. you mightjust be able to make out a pair of ospreys-— mightjust be able to make out a pair of ospreys. you can see one. peekin: pair of ospreys. you can see one. peeking over _ pair of ospreys. you can see one. peeking over the _ pair of ospreys. you can see one. peeking over the top, _ pair of ospreys. you can see one. peeking over the top, hoping - pair of ospreys. you can see one. peeking over the top, hoping to l peeking over the top, hoping to become a parents.— peeking over the top, hoping to become a parents. yes, if their eggs hatch, they — become a parents. yes, if their eggs hatch, they will _ become a parents. yes, if their eggs hatch, they will be _ become a parents. yes, if their eggs hatch, they will be the _ become a parents. yes, if their eggs

morning in parts of aberdeenshire, cloudy with some rain. 11 or 12 degrees and breezy with it with that wet weather, top temperatures of 18 degrees are better in comparison to yesterday. but the cloud in the rain is on its way south. it will weaken substantially as it continues to drift its way south. quite a lot of cloud, though, through the night. that means that temperatures will stay up, in fact, potentially, that means that temperatures will stay up, infact, potentially, one of the frost free morning that we have not seen just recently. temperature sitting at around six to nine degrees. they will be some rain, some of it heavy, across west wales. but it will start to weaken as it pushes its way further south across central and southern england. so yes, some wetter weather across south—west wales, but gradually that is pushing its way steadily southwards. it's in pieces of nuisance ran across england and wales on sunday but a drier and brighter story across scotland and northern ireland. lighter winds, glimpses of sunshine coming through and with a little bit more sunshine, little bit more warmth. 16 degrees here, but under the cloud and rain,

noticeably cooler. it does look likely that that cooler trend is going to continue into bank holiday monday and beyond for a couple of days. a lot of cloud around on monday, but are largely dry day. a usable day, you can get out and not be too spoiled by the weather. a few scattered showers will develop through the course of the day. temperatures perhaps peeking at around 17 degrees if you get the best members of sunshine. and then high pressure is set to return. for the first few days of may it doesn't look likely that we will see that much in the way of significant rainfall once again. this front will bring a bit more cloud and rain into the far north—east. largely, if we take a look at the forecast tuesday into wednesday, noticeably cooler thanit into wednesday, noticeably cooler than it has been of late. we're looking at low teens for many places but a lot of dry weather as well. i still don't looking at low teens for many places but a lot of dry weather as well. i still don't realise looking at low teens for many places but a lot of dry weather as well. i still don't realise it looking at low teens for many places but a lot of dry weather as well. i still don't realise it is looking at low teens for many places but a lot of dry weather as well. i still don't realise it is bank looking at low teens for many places but a lot of dry weather as well. i still don't realise it is bank holiday looking at low teens for many places but a lot of dry weather as well. i still don't realise it is bank holiday weekend. looking at low teens for many places but a lot of dry weather as well. i still don't realise it is bank holiday weekend. easter looking at low teens for many places but a lot of dry weather as well. i still don't realise it is bank holiday weekend. easter eras looking at low teens for many places but a lot of dry weather as well. i still don't realise it is bank holida weekend. . , ., , holiday weekend. easter was quite late. i think that is why.

then we have thejubilee. today, though, what is going on in the papers? several front pages lead with the mp neil parish being investigated for claims he watched pornography in the house of commons. the times says he's been urged by fellow conservatives to resign now, to "shield the party from sleaze" ahead of the local elections. the telegraph reports neil parish's claim that he had opened the pornography "in error". the paper says the prime minister, borisjohnson, is facing calls to ask the mp to resign. the daily mirror's lead story is on the tennis legend boris becker being jailed over what the paper describes as a "bankruptcy scam". and one of the most read stories on the bbc news website overnight was about the night sky as venus and jupiter appeared to be almost touching. they were actually millions of miles apart, and we'll have to wait 17 years

we keep seeing scientists develop new ways to make the technology more flexible, more powerful and more useful. this factory in stockholm is making ultra—thin solar cells that don't even need sunlight to harvest energy. the idea is that they can be used outside or inside your home to power products. i will be showing you later on what that means for various devices. but first, here's dan simmons, who's been looking at how solar could help the energy price crisis. although most of us like the idea of clean energy, so far, we've not been persuaded. maybe it's because we don't own our own roof. or it's the upfront costs. maybe we're thinking of moving and feel we can't take solar panels with us. orjust those glaring large slabs isn't quite the look we're after. so, i've been to the homes of two british start—ups who want you to look again.

this is the solivas arc. its curves are wrapped in an organic solar film which doesn't contain any toxic substances, nor rare earth materials that could require mining, and so it has a much smaller carbon footprint than traditional panels. and that's not all. now, the arc is designed to capture sunlight throughout more of the day. and that's partly because it's got five surfaces on which to harvest energy. and this curved design means that it usually has a sweet spot which is very useful at the start and the end of the day in particular. i think it looks quite futuristic, and if solar sculptures like this were to catch on, i can see them being seen as a sort of a carbon neutral status symbol — something for the neighbours perhaps to gawk at. i don't like the look of conventional solar panels. ijust don't like them.

so, i thought, well, i want to get the home energy independent, but how can i do it with avoiding solar panels? so, started looking into new solar technology that was out there. this is solivus�*s testing yard in kent where they've been adapting the shape of the sculpture to maximise efficiency. the multilayered solar film used is provided by german firm heliotech. these solar panels are made up of three distinct layers at the moment, and the top layer will capture the high energy light. the middle layer will capture the sort of visible light and then the bottom layer captures more of the infrared, more of the heat. so, maximum efficiency for conventional solar panel is about 33%, whereas for this technology, it's tuneable, and they can layer it with, in theory, as many layers as they want to choose different parts of the spectrum and capture, overall, more light coming in. despite this sunny outlook, today this solar film

is only 8% efficient, with a 10% version expected later this year. now, last year, that may have been a problem. high initial costs have dogged solar as a cost—effective option — until the maths changed. driven by supply issues and fresh demand from a world recovering from a global pandemic, energy prices are surging. more than 50% in a matter of minutes. and that was before many western nations imposed sanctions on russia's gas and oil following its invasion of ukraine. with the uk's energy price cap lifting next week, many household bills are about to soar. from around 18p per kilowatt hour last year, the variable rate of electricity is expected tojump to more than 26p by the autumn and at least 32p if you want to fix your prices for a year or more, depending on where you live

in the uk. at £3,500, the arc isn't cheap. but it is guaranteed for 20 years. its film panels, which are upgradable, are expected to produce an average of 1,000 kilowatt hours per year by the end of 2022. when it becomes 1,000 kilowatt—hours a year, in the uk, you're looking at about 21p per kilowatt hour. that amount of energy will be locked in at that 21p for 20 years, and then after that, it's free, obviously. let's be clear — one of these isn't enough to power the home, even one that uses gas or oil for heating. in theory, you would need at least one for every bedroom you have. and if you don't have an expensive battery to store any surplus energy as it's captured, you'll end up feeding it back to the grid for a fraction of the market price. one alternative is you can plug the arc

directly into your electric car if you have one. i've found another solo entrepreneur in london's notting hill. this prototype features a unique, cost—effective way to attach solar film to regular blinds so owners of flats and garages can take advantage too. because to date, solar power�*s been for the rich, and it's not been — there has not been a system or product in place where it can go on any building. my company's aim is all around the democratisation of solar, so any window can now become a solar panel. david's applied for a patent for his creation and will take it first to spain, where these types of blinds are more common. installations begin later this year. and he's also in talks with a london authority which wants to fit them to council flats. so, for this size of window, it'd generate about 10—15% of your energy needs, and this is a three—bedroom house.

so, between a hot summer or a cool winter, the amount of energy you could generate would be probably about 10—15% less during winter compared to summer. so, not much difference. no, not that much, no. and with this new solar film, it generates energy in cloudier climates compared to silicon panels. another good thing about solar film is that it's scalable. some places have more roof space than others, of course. so, for reasons of cost savings, as well as the environment, this rugby stadium has decided now is the time to cover its stands in the new lightweight solar film. there's an estimated 2.5 billion square metres of south facing commercial roof space in the uk, and a lot of it wouldn't have enough strength to support weighty, traditional solar panels. for the panels, we will pay 15p per kilowatt hour.

that is half or less than half of what the current cost of a kilowatt hour of electricity is, so that's a significant saving for us. if you've got a big roof or a big area of land, i don't know why you wouldn't consider this as a viable option. i mean, you know, it uses an asset that you can't really use for any other purpose, it saves you money, and it's good for the planet. increasingly, these new types of flexible solar panels are making solar more accessible for people. they don't replace traditional panels, which will be ideal for some. and there are other options, like solar tiles, out there too. but solarfilm is now getting more efficient and, importantly, cheaper, just as grid prices are going through the roof. so, both practically and financially now, solar could be coming home. here's a way of making your gadgets greener by using sustainable energy —

something this solar cell factory in sweden is taking to the next level. this machine is printing custom nano ink onto solar panels, and they don't even need the sun to charge. we have developed our own nano inks, and in this machine, we print that ink on the proprietary substrate. how is the end result and the usage of it different to other solar cells? it actually harvests all kinds of light. it's sort of like artificial photosynthesis, so it will work under any light conditions. led, normal light bulbs, even in the shade — any kind of light. you're sort of using electricity, but i guess it's just electricity that is being used anyway? we're recycling light. the extra efficiency means that those silver strips that usually run through solar panels are no longer needed, freeing up new design ideas. these cells have been shaped to fit a headphone band

and this robot is responsible for squirting electrolytes on them to allow conduction. it looks like it's going to drip bits in between, but it's actually doing it very precisely. it's more efficient and predictable, and for sure, it doesn't make any mistakes. the final step is lamination to give the cells custom textures. and into the press it goes. and here's the finished product. giovanni, tell me about the prototypes you've got here. what you see here is a fully self—powered, sustainably powered headphone. it has a leather structure to it. and it will actually absorb any kind of light and convert that light into electrical energy and charge the battery. if you go to the gym, whatever you do, they will always charge during the day. but the luxury of not needing conventional charging will add a chunky $50 to devices, several of which have already been created. a smart helmet can sense when it's worn in the dark and light up automatically.

here are the charging panels — one, two and three. it's actually one cell underneath. they really do blend in. and this bag doubles up as a power bank. this is a pretty big surface and you can place this in the sun, so it can charge a lot. charging from ambient light does have its limitations, though. how about a laptop? how far away are you from being able to create that sort of power in the bag? well, the laptop, you know, is super power—hungry. and a phone as well — you'rejust not going to get enough power. laptops and phones, you need much stronger light, or you need a larger surface. but who's going to walk around with this? it's not going to happen. so it's all about finding the balance, right? what is the available surface on the product? how do you normally use the product in your daily life? products like these headphones do still have a back—up charging port, though, for those who just still want it there for peace of mind. that's it for this week's programme. as ever, you can keep up with the team on social media.

find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter @bbcclick. thanks for watching. bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and ben thompson. the passport office says it is facing unprecedented demand from millions of people who had put off renewing or applying for the documents during the pandemic. changes in the rules since brexit also means some passports are not valid because they're too close to the expiry date. our business reporter esyllt carr has more. this was the last time alexandra and her family saw her sister, three years ago. they have spent £4000 to

fly to her wedding in the states next week. but despite paying to have all of their passport applications checked 11 weeks ago, alexandra had to send in an extra birth certificate and is still waiting on two passports, including herfour—month—old waiting on two passports, including her four—month—old son's. waiting on two passports, including herfour—month—old son's. i’ee waiting on two passports, including her four-month-old son's.— her four-month-old son's. i've got my bridesmaid's _ her four-month-old son's. i've got my bridesmaid's dress, _ her four-month-old son's. i've got my bridesmaid's dress, that - her four-month-old son's. i've got my bridesmaid's dress, that taylor my bridesmaids dress, that taylor has just told me today that my address is ready to collapse. i don't want my children to get excited, i don't want to get excited myself. i don't want to stress my sister out, who obviously wants to be excited for her wedding, wants to be excited for her wedding, wants to be excited for her wedding, wants to be excited to see us. i am just trying to keep the worst—case scenario in the back of our minds, because i am just waiting for a call from the passport office constantly. the home office is advising that passport applications are taking up to ten weeks to process, but they say it can take longer if any information is incomplete. since the uk left the eu, a uk passport has to be less than ten years old to enter an eu country, as well as some

others like norway and switzerland, so you have to check the issue date as well as the expiry. and now, most places in europe require you to have at least three months left on your passport beyond your trip. at the passport beyond your trip. at the passport office in london, we met people trying to get the right documents. i people trying to get the right documents.— people trying to get the right documents. . �* ., ., , documents. i hadn't heard anything about this. they _ documents. i hadn't heard anything about this. they should _ documents. i hadn't heard anything about this. they should have - documents. i hadn't heard anything about this. they should have had i about this. they should have had advertisers up... about this. they should have had advertisers up. . .— about this. they should have had advertisers up... windy's passport doesnt advertisers up... windy's passport doesn't expire _ advertisers up. .. windy's passport doesn't expire until— advertisers up... windy's passport doesn't expire until next _ advertisers up... windy's passport doesn't expire until next year, - advertisers up... windy's passport doesn't expire until next year, butj doesn't expire until next year, but she has onlyjust found out that new rules following brexit means she can't use it for her holiday next month because it was issued more than ten months ago. —— ten years ago. 50 than ten months ago. -- ten years alo, �* , than ten months ago. -- ten years alo, f ., than ten months ago. -- ten years auo. h ., ., than ten months ago. -- ten years auo. �*, ., ., ., �* ago. so it's out of date, so i've a- lied ago. so it's out of date, so i've applied for _ ago. so it's out of date, so i've applied for getting _ ago. so it's out of date, so i've applied for getting a _ ago. so it's out of date, so i've applied for getting a new- ago. so it's out of date, so i've applied for getting a new one, | ago. so it's out of date, so i've i applied for getting a new one, but it's taken me four days to get through to the appointments, because all the appointments are gone. aha, all the appointments are gone. a spokesperson for the passport office said that 5 million people had delayed applying for their travel documents during the pandemic, and to cope with the demand, they had taken on 500 extra members of staff in the last year. they say that in

march they process a record number of applications. but in the commons earlier this week, i home office minister acknowledge that parts of the system were under strain. brute the system were under strain. we recornise the system were under strain. - recognise difficulties in contacting the passport office will cause concern for those wanting assurances about their applications. concern for those wanting assurances about theirapplications. in about their applications. in response, about theirapplications. in response, the provider of the passport advice line, tele performance, have been urgently tasks to provide additional staff as their current performance is unacceptable.— their current performance is unaccetable. . ,, , ., �* unacceptable. passengers aren't the onl ones unacceptable. passengers aren't the only ones feeling _ unacceptable. passengers aren't the only ones feeling frustrated. - unacceptable. passengers aren't the only ones feeling frustrated. for - unacceptable. passengers aren't the only ones feeling frustrated. for an | only ones feeling frustrated. for an industry that _ only ones feeling frustrated. for an industry that has _ only ones feeling frustrated. for an industry that has been _ only ones feeling frustrated. for an industry that has been shut - only ones feeling frustrated. for an industry that has been shut down, | industry that has been shut down, practically— industry that has been shut down, practically decimated for two years, this passport chaos isjust so frustrating, completely unnecessary. the industry really needs this to be sorted _ the industry really needs this to be sorted we — the industry really needs this to be sorted. we needed to be sorted quickly, — sorted. we needed to be sorted quickly, and very frustrating for my travel— quickly, and very frustrating for my travel agent members but also consumers, who get caught up on this _ consumers, who get caught up on this. ~ ., , ., consumers, who get caught up on this. ., , this. with thousands of people re arina this. with thousands of people preparing to — this. with thousands of people preparing to travel _ this. with thousands of people preparing to travel abroad - this. with thousands of people preparing to travel abroad forl this. with thousands of people i preparing to travel abroad for the first time since the pandemic, the advice for anyone booking a trip is

there was absolutely no—one out whatsoever, france will have some great moments in the game, hopefully not too many of them, but the cloud and the noise will be incredible when they have their moments, and how we handle those moments, again, is a real good test of where at, both in terms of that ability on the field but also our mental strength. it has been called the biggest fight ever in women's boxing. all eyes will be on new york's madison square garden tonight for the clash between ireland's katie taylor and puerto rico's amanda serrano. the prize — the undisputed lightweight title and a place in history. ade adedoyin has more. the best facing the best. katie ta lor, the best facing the best. katie taylor, amanda _ the best facing the best. katie taylor, amanda serrano... i the best facing the best. katie i taylor, amanda serrano... neither wanted to blink _ taylor, amanda serrano... neither wanted to blink first, _ taylor, amanda serrano... neither wanted to blink first, the _ taylor, amanda serrano... neither wanted to blink first, the way i taylor, amanda serrano... neither wanted to blink first, the way and l wanted to blink first, the way and was an event in itself. both have had their names and lights all week, the pair reaching new heights here in new york. a photo op on the empire state building ahead of this landmark moment in boxing. i think

not be quite as glorious as easter weekend. there was some rain around. a change of fortunes for some of us. let's take a look at the satellite picture. it tells a story quite nicely. we are skies, chilly but misty start. it will gradually start to bring some rain with it as well. the frontal system is squeezing the high—pressure further south but lighter winds and a subtle change in wind direction and we should see more sunshine, particularly on those exposed east coast. after that, lots of sunshine coming through. the cloud and rain continues to move in. gradually moving its way into eastern scotland by the middle part of the afternoon. would see half an inch of rain in places before that eases through. caller here, 11 or 12 degrees, but with the sunshine we might see temperatures peaking at 18, and that is better than

yesterday. and that weather front continues to move severally south. a blanket of cloud of the country. frost free for sunday morning. relatively mild start. the rain will still be sitting across parts of south—west wales, a bit heavy at times. as it bumps into the high—pressure, it will weaken. the rain will start to fragment, light and showery in nature, may be a spot or two in one or two places as it goes south. that is a bit pathetic, really. more cloud, patchy rain, not the rain we need for gardens out there and for the farmers, but a drier and brighter, sunnier story. with some sunshine, we might see temperatures peaking at 16 degrees here. as we move out of sunday into monday, the front will ease away, a fair amount of loud monday, the front will ease away, a fairamount of loud and monday, the front will ease away, a fair amount of loud and a bit more northerly breeze kicking in as well. a bit cooler on those exposed coast and that could trigger a fuse scattered showers running down through the pennines here. top

temperatures around seven to 10 degrees in the far north of scotland with a bit more shelter from the northerly and a little more sunshine getting through, we mightjust see 17 degrees. most of us back to work on tuesday. it looks likely to see a good deal of quiet weather as higher pressure builds. we have a weather front in the far north and west, but not really amounting to much. generally speaking, the story into tuesday and wednesday will be a lot of dry weather around, but cooler in comparison to of late. low to mid teens. back to you two. it definitely feels a bit cooler, doesn't it? it was lovely yesterday, though. now, it's time for the film review with jane hill and mark kermode. hello and a very warm welcome

to the film review on bbc news. i'm glad to say mark kermode is back from his holidays. hello! what have you been watching? well, we have a new downton abbey movie. i'm assuming that you're familiar with downton abbey! oh, yes! we have we're all going to the world's fair, which is an eerie internet horrorfilm. and casablanca beats, which was the moroccan entry for the academy awards. ah, downton! ah! it's like slipping into a warm bath, isn't it? i've been humming the theme tune all day! so, downton abbey: a new era. new? so, the stately home's roof is leaking, so they have to allow the cinema to come to downton, to make a film — i think they call it practising colour photography — in order to make some money, to fix the roof.

and dominic west and laura haddock are the two screen icons who turn up. meanwhile, half of the cast are sent off to the south of france, because maggie smith's dowager has magically inherited a villa, although no—one is quite sure why! here's a clip. enjoy your stay. clears throat your butler lends splendour to the proceedings. - he can stand down if you prefer. why, when the villa already i belongs to your granddaughter? lady bagshaw. — please, come and sit here. i am so sorry. i laid down forfive minutes, shut my eyes, and that was it — i was gone! welcome to the villa of the doves. you must come here a lot. we do _ or, rather, we did before you entered our lives. always in the winter, - for as long as i can remember, but now coming into warmer months, it's catching on. i i'm planning an article on that. you're a writer? more of a journalist, i'm afraid. i have a magazine and i'm taking back control of it. what's your article about?

oh, ah, scott fitzgerald, zelda, coco chanel — all the people that got the hotels to stay open injuly. can i publish some pictures of the villa? might that be possible? of course — if we can see the images before you use them. _ ah, you're obviously not the firstjournalist he's met! so, downton fan? i enjoyed it. i didn't see every series. i saw a lot of it. it does exactly what it says on the tin. yes. and this, despite the word "new" in the title, carries on doing it. here's the strange thing, ok — they send half the cast to the south of france. that's basically a tradition of british television programmes that transfer to the big screen, particularly in the '70s, like are you being served? i remember that! send them all off to spain — that's what you do, because suddenly it's the cinema. meanwhile, where they're making the movie, it's silent, and actually, there's a brilliant maggie smith line — "the best thing about movies is you can't hear them. "how much better it would be if you couldn't even see them." and then, of course, sound arrives

and it turns out that the star of the movie does not have the voice to match the face, so somebody is going to have to dub her. and you're thinking, "i'm sure i saw singin' in the rain "several times before i walked into the new downton movie," so there is nothing in it that's new at all. but i think nobody who goes to see a downton movie wants to see anything new, what they want is the thing that they like. and so maggie smith gets all the best lines... yes, you preempted me. i'm assuming that's the case? oh, of course. she's splendidly sort of withering about the film's leading lady — "all the charm of a verruca." and when somebody else says, "oh, this is what we do in the movies," she says, "i'd rather earn my living down a mine!" that's what you expect from downton. what's interesting is, maggie smith's character's disdain for movies obviously hearkens back to something that happened in gosford park, when there's that wonderfuljoke about the character she plays in gosford park... also written byjulian fellowes. exactly, which is kind of where this all came from in the first place. there's somebody there making a movie — he says, "i can't tell you the end because it would spoil it," and she says, "none of us are going to see it!"

so there's something kind of self—referentially withering about how much they're all disdainful about movies, but it is, "how many yards of this would you like? "there you go!" there are some lawns and there is a church and here is some strings and here is some piano! it all looks beautiful. everything is marvellous. the sun shines. yes, jolly good show. it does what you'd expect it to do. and i don't think anybody would expect anything different. very happy with that — very happy with that. it would be huge. there could be another one even, maybe! left it open, possibly! never say never again. never say never. change of gear. yes, we're all going to the world's fair. this is a total change of gear. very low budget, internet horror fable from the trans writer—director jane schoenbrun. this is like a cross between eighth grade and there was an internet lockdown hit called host and a little bit of paranormal activity. so a young woman joins an internet game, an accult game, in which what you have to do is say, "i want to go to the world's fair" three times and you have to prick yourfingers — so, shades of candyman. and then the idea is that then you'll start to change somehow. and we start to see videos

that she's posting about her life, and does she start to change or is it alljust in her mind? meanwhile, somebody else gets in touch with her. she can't see the man, but we can. and on the one hand, it is a creepy horror movie. it's also very much a film about the way in which young people relate to the internet, the way in which it can be isolating but can also be a community. it's interesting that jane schoenbrun describes themself as somebody who grew up and understands the internet, rather than a film being made by somebody who's outside of it. so that's why i say it reminded me very much of eighth grade. fantastic score by alex g. and it is creepy, but it's also very melancholy. great central performance. and, ok, not for everyone. but if you are a horror fan and if you're interested in the way in which people relate to the internet, i thought it had interesting things to say, and i think it's a real indication of great work to come. yes, and better than usual —

i managed a third of it. and "creepy" is the word i would use, creepy above anything. and i'm not great with that, so that was enough for me, but i did think she was terrific, the young actress. and i think it's her debut, and she was very good. in face, she was introduced in the credits as "it's the debut by..." now, i have high hopes for you and casablanca beats. ok, so moroccan entry to the academy awards, it was palme d'or nominated, about a rapper—turned—teacher who turns up at an art centre to teach hip—hop. at first, the pupils find him very tough, then they find out that he's bringing out their authentic voices. they start to love him, but the authorities don't and neither do some of the parents. here's a clip. rap music plays

what i really loved about this is, on the one hand, it has a documentary feel. it looks like it's a documentary. and actually, it's shot in the art centre that the director had co—founded. and those are nonprofessional actors playing characters that are very close to home, fictional characters, but characters that relate to home.

and the main character is in fact a rapper—turned—teacher. what i liked about this was, it has a lot of those cliches — the inspirational teacher, it's a bit dead poets, a bit blackboard jungle, the strength through music stuff, which we've seen a lot of times before — but it felt gritty and grounded, because i believed in the characters. and i did think it was uplifting, and i thought its target audience, which is the age of the characters that we're seeing on screen now, i thought it could play really well to a young audience as well as an older audience, and they like it. i mean, the music's smart. and i love it when they discover their own voices and they start rapping about stuff that's really important to them. did you like it? this is in the category of, "there are lots of things i like about it." and i thought the youngsters in it were all terrific, and i liked the debates. there was lots of debate about very punchy issues — fundamentalism, should women have to cover up when men don't have to? all these debates, and these are all people having ferocious... in that sense, it could be a documentary, and i mean that in a good way.

or it could be like a ken loach film, like land and freedom, in which they're having those political arguments. and didn't those arguments feel real to you? oh, absolutely. you felt that they were actually happening, they weren't scripted, they were actually having those discussions. and i... did you like the music? i am neutral on that one — neutral. 0k. see, i loved the music, and i think maybe that helps it a little bit. there is a touch of west side story in there as well. i was really charmed by it. i've watched it a couple of times now. and i thought it was... i think it's really uplifting, and the director said that he wanted to do it too, to lead voice to young people. i think he's done it. he certainly managed that. definitely. best out this week? look, the northman... i'm going to flag this up because... ok, there's a lot of things wrong with the northman... it sounds like a caveated best out. it is a caveat. it's robert eggers' film. he made the witch and he made the lighthouse — very, very low budget. then he made a $90 million viking epic. it is in the process of tanking at the box office. however, there are things in it that are adventurous and it is original,

and if you want to go and see it in a cinema, go now, because it isn't going to be in the top ten for much longer, as far as i can tell. and i never thought it was going to be a hit. some people have been surprised by how poorly it's performed financially, but it's a $90 million art movie about vikings! of course it's not going to make a huge amount of money! but it's adventurous and it's got its own vision, and it's not a franchise. and it looks like it needs to be seen on a big screen. oh, yeah, yeah. you need to see it with the full... the landscapes are wonderful. and which thought about dvd, screening? ok, moonfall is out on dvd. i told you about this when it came out in the cinema. this is one of the very few examples of a film that is genuinely so stupid that it's actually brilliant. and usually, bad films are just bad, but moonfall, in which the plot is "the moon is falling," because it's made of cheese or something... there's a film called iron sky, the plot of which was, "in 1945, the nazis went to the moon — "now they're coming back." and that film looks like

a documentary compared to moonfall. it's just... take your brain out, leave it by the side of the sofa and enjoy moonfall. it is the dumbest film i've ever seen. brilliant! and if you can, go back into the archives and find mark's original review of that — because it's one of my favourite moments of all our time together. but it's on dvd. thank you very much. see you next week, mark. good to have you back. and that is it for this week. enjoy your cinema going, whatever you choose to watch. see you next time. bye—bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and ben thompson. our headlines today: neil parish, the conservative mp accused of watching pornography in the commons, rejects calls to resign, saying he will stand down if an inquiry finds him guilty. of course it's embarrassing, and it's embarrassing for my wife

and family, and so that's my main concern at the moment. good morning. boris becker spends his first night in jail after being sentenced to 2.5 years for hiding assets to avoid paying debts. concern grows for two british men volunteering in ukraine who have been captured by the russian military. imiss him. i can't cope with it. i've not et, i can't sleep. good morning. we've got contrasting conditions across the country for the start of this bank holiday weekend. cloudy, breezy, with some rain for scotland and northern ireland. more sunshine around for england and wales. all the details coming up shortly. iam in i am in bedfordshire around the campfire with the flat week scout group. the scout numbers are up, rising at their fastest rate since world war ii. —— flitwick.

it is saturday 30 april. our top story: a conservative mp accused of watching pornography in the house of commons has rejected calls to resign but said he will stand down if found guilty. neil parish has been suspended by the conservatives and has referred himself to the parliamentary commissioner for standards. he spoke to journalists yesterday. of course it's embarrassing, and it's embarrassing for my wife and family, and so that's my main concern at the moment. i have a supportive wife, and i thank her for that. neil, was it a mistake? i will await the findings of the inquiry. i'm talking about — did you open something up by error in the commons? i did, but let the inquiry look at that. ewan murrie is in mr parish's

constituency of tiverton in devon. good morning to you. quite an interesting press conference, i would like to say, at least when his questions were being put to him by journalists. there were some quite interesting answers.— interesting answers. there were indeed, interesting answers. there were indeed. yes- _ interesting answers. there were indeed, yes. neil— interesting answers. there were indeed, yes. neil parish - interesting answers. there were indeed, yes. neil parish sayingl interesting answers. there were i indeed, yes. neil parish saying he will resign if the standards commissioner finds against him. real mixed reaction here in the constituency to the news, but one thing that does feel near universal is a genuine sense of shock that it is a genuine sense of shock that it is neil parish who is the mp implicated in this scandal. he is widely seen here as somebody who is pretty hard—working, keeps his head down, stands up for the farming community. so people are quite taken aback that he could have got himself involved in a situation like this. local conservatives say they are quite shocked as well, those that are speaking. most are keeping their

heads down, not responding to calls, not responding to texts. in terms of members of the public, most people here that i spoke to last night saying that they feel he has let the area down, quite a few of them saying he should resign, but quite a few saying they want to get the full fact. they want to know how and why it was he came to watch pornography in the commons, if indeed that was the case, before they will decide what they think he should do. a small minority, as well, of particularly younger people saying that they think you should get a second chance and they are not too bothered. so yes, a real mixed reaction. ., , bothered. so yes, a real mixed reaction. . , . ., reaction. thanks very much, ewan murra in reaction. thanks very much, ewan murray in tiverton. _ our political correspondent nick eardley is in our london newsroom. neil parish has referred himself to parliamentary authorities. maybe explain a little bit about how the investigation will work. goad investigation will work. good morninu investigation will work. good morning to _ investigation will work. good morning to you, _ investigation will work. good morning to you, then. i investigation will work. (limp. morning to you, then. potentially two investigations that mr parrish

is facing, one from the standards commissioner, another under the independent complaints and grievance is scheme. both of those could lead to some pretty serious sanctions. they could be as little as an apology to the commons, but ultimately he could be suspended or even expelled from the house of commons if those investigations find against him. there is and there has been all week a lot of anger about this story amongst mps, a lot of different reaction in the past 24 hours since neil parish was named. there are some conservatives and many opposition mps who say he needs to consider his position as the chair of the environment committee. that is a pretty senior role. it means that he overlooks how that committee works, and some people are saying itjust wouldn't be appropriate for him to do that while he is being investigated. there are others going further and saying they

actually think mr parish should resign from parliament altogether. and look, it has been a really damaging week for the house of commons as well, and i suspect we will hear from commons as well, and i suspect we will hearfrom a commons as well, and i suspect we will hear from a lot of mps who are really frustrated about this and want it dealt with as soon as possible. these investigations, though, can take some time, so it is not completely cook clear how quickly this cannot settled. —— completely clear. the three—times wimbledon champion boris becker has spent his first night in prison after he was sentenced to 2.5 years for hiding assets to avoid paying debts. mike is here with more on this. mike, this is a spectacularfall from grace, isn't it? yes, there seems a lot of shock and sadness from those that knew him that it has come to this, really, because it is such a spectacular fall when you consider that 37 years ago he was that blonde 17—year—old lad standing on wimbledon's centre court, basking in the glory of becoming the youngest lawyer ever to win the men's singles at wimbledon in 1985. and all that followed, six

grand slam titles, three wimbledon 's. olympic medals as well, and then becoming a very successful, flamboyant pundit, commentator and coach as well. it was such a great character for the game, the legend in terms of the boom boom server, the swashbuckling style. the fact that it has now come to this 37 years on, is a real shock. there still are fans _ years on, is a real shock. there still are fans in _ years on, is a real shock. there still are fans in the _ years on, is a real shock. there still are fans in the sense i years on, is a real shock. there still are fans in the sense that i years on, is a real shock. there i still are fans in the sense that he is such a big character, he has been a pundit, he is outspoken, he is larger—than—life. a pundit, he is outspoken, he is larger-than-life._ a pundit, he is outspoken, he is larger-than-life. absolutely, and we have heard from _ larger-than-life. absolutely, and we have heard from those _ larger-than-life. absolutely, and we have heard from those that - larger-than-life. absolutely, and we have heard from those that knew - larger-than-life. absolutely, and we l have heard from those that knew him who say that while they are shocked now, they think he will recover and come back as a coach, may be, or a pundit, and at least some of his tennis reputation will stay intact. becker's own barrister, jonathan laidlaw qc told the court: "his fall is not simply a fall from grace but amounts to the most public humiliation for this man. boris becker has literally nothing

and there is also nothing to show for what was the most glittering of sporting careers, and that is correctly termed as nothing short of a tragedy." but thejudge but the judge referred to a previous conviction for tax evasion and told the court he did not heed the warning he was given and the chance given in 2002 by a suspended sentence. you have sought to distance yourself from your offending, that was what she was saying, your bankruptcy, and while she said she accepted his humiliation, there had been no humility. interesting comments as well from tennis historian and author chris bauer, who said whenever i talked to him, i always got the impression that deep down boris felt somehow i will be ok —— chris bower. there will be a bit more on this at 7:30am. the mother of a british humanitarian volunteer who is thought to have been captured by russian forces in ukraine

has pleaded for him to be released. paul urey went missing along with fellow briton dylan healey after they tried to rescue a family from a village near the city of zaporizhzhia. dylan healy and paul urey — in ukraine to provide humanitarian assistance but now captured by the russian military, according to a british aid organisation. it is thought they were stopped at a checkpoint as they tried to help a mother and her children leave a village near zaporizhzhia. at her home near preston, paul urey�*s mother explained why, against her wishes, her son had decided to go to ukraine. he said, i can't sit there, mum, and watch people dying. because they're hungry, they're scared. he said, i've seen people where they're ducking every time there's a noise. he said, i can't live with myself. i said, well, what about me? what about your family?

paul urey is in his mid—40s and diabetic. his mum had this message for whoever is holding him. please give him back. he's a family man. he's my carer. he helps me, and he's been gone two weeks now. a week they've had him. imiss him. i can't cope with it. i've not et, i can't sleep. dylan healy was driving the car at the time of the men's capture, according to a british aid organisation. he is described as a trained chef, originally from huntington in cambridgeshire. in the ukrainian capital, kyiv, the clearing up after russian missile strikes continues, one of which killed a ukrainian journalist working for the american broadcaster radio liberty. in mariupol, the besieged port city, explosions can still be heard.

much of the fighting here has stopped, but there are reminders of how intense it was. in virginia, an emotional us defence department spokesman accused vladimir putin of brutality and depravity. it's difficult to look at the... sorry. it's difficult to look at some of the images and imagine that any well thinking, serious, mature leader would do that. so i can't talk to his psychology, but i think we can all speak to his depravity. for 91 ukrainian refugees, a new beginning. in village of hartley, near dartford in kent, host families met the people that will be sharing their homes. nadia says her son was so traumatised by the war,

he would hide in a wardrobe. she knew they had to try and leave the country. some of my documents, and we were quickly running, very quickly, because it was terrible. they feel very far away from home now, and ultimately all of these people, theyjust want to be at home. a warm welcome to a new, unfamiliar country where a new chapter awaits. let's speak now to our correspondent in kyiv, joe inwood. joe, good morning to you. obviously we are keeping our eye on that story but we cannot take our eyes off what is going on in ukraine, but president zelensky has said the door is still open for peace talks with russia. yes, and i think we shouldn't _ peace talks with russia. yes, and i think we shouldn't find _ peace talks with russia. yes, and i think we shouldn't find that - think we shouldn't find that surprising. i think we are always going to hear that diplomacy is an option. he has talked of some

redlines before, the killing of the mariupol defenders or the staging of pseudo— referendums, trying to break his country, he said those would be redlines but for now they have not crossed. it is worth thinking, bearing in mind what role diplomacy has and its chances of success, when you have two sides who are so fundamentally opposed and what they would accept from a negotiation. as it stands, the russians say they would accept nothing less than control of the donbas, taking over large parts of ukrainian territory. ukrainian say they want nothing less than all of their territory back in the territory they lost in 2014. so there is a fundamental contradiction between the sides, what both sides will accept. the other time that diplomacy works, or at least a negotiated solution works, is when one side has an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield. basically the other side knows it's time is up, and we are a long way from that. the russians to fight.

for president putin it is imperative that he can present something as a victory to his people. the ukrainians are getting more and more support from nato, from the west, so for them, they still know they have a fighting chance. as long as both sides think they have a fighting chance, we're not going to find a negotiated solution.— negotiated solution. yes, not ex - ected negotiated solution. yes, not exnected any _ negotiated solution. yes, not expected any time _ negotiated solution. yes, not expected any time soon. - here is louise with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. we are literally going to see some contrasting conditions across the country this morning. light frost on the ground, lovely sunshine coming through. this is an hour ago. a beautiful start here but a contrasting start across the far north and west. the satellite picture picking up the cloud through the night. that prevented temperatures from falling below freezing. it will also be responsible for

bringing cloud and a strengthening wind as we go through the day. it is putting the high—pressure further south. england and wales keep the sunshine, not a south. england and wales keep the sunshine, nota bad south. england and wales keep the sunshine, not a bad day. but the rain will continue to move its way steadily eastwards, but after a bright start in parts, clouding over, some heavy rain, the wind is a feature as well. it will feel noticeably different to yesterday and we had 18 degrees in glasgow. by contrast, some grey sky and cloud across east anglia, essex and kent yesterday, sunshine and highs of 18. tonight, a blanket of cloud across the country so it will stay in relatively mild. a frost free start sunday morning as you can see, quite widely, those temperatures into mid single figures. perhaps double digits out of the west. that frontal system will continue to swing steadily south and east. it will bring some rain across southern areas of wales through the course of

sunday morning and then it will really start to weaken. a band of cloud, bits and pieces of rain pushing steadily south. gardeners are starting to ask when we will get some significant rain. this will be a bit of a drink for the gardens but not significant. further north and west we will see sunshine coming through in the afternoon. 16 degrees into glasgow, underneath the cloud and rain, a maximum of 12 or13. bank holiday holiday, we keep the cloud. the wind direction in the north starting to put around when northerly. a few scattered showers across the scottish border through the pennines likely throughout the day. seven to 10 degrees for scotland on bank holiday monday, noticeably cooler, around 15 to 17, a little more shelter. the cooler air will win out behind the weather front tuesday into wednesday. we will not see any significant rain on

it, but certainly you will notice a different with the feel of the weather if you are out and about. grey skies but a good deal of dry weather around on top temperatures from 11 to 15 degrees. that is not what we ordered for the bank holiday. i delivered for easter. ., ., i delivered for easter. you did. you are only as — i delivered for easter. you did. you are only as good — i delivered for easter. you did. you are only as good as _ i delivered for easter. you did. you are only as good as your— i delivered for easter. you did. you are only as good as your current. are only as good as your current weather forecast, louise. i better go then! see you later. local elections take place across the uk on thursday, and here on breakfast, we're talking to all the main parties which are fielding candidates. today, it's the turn of the scottish green party, whose co—leader patrick harvie joins us now from glasgow. good morning to you. thank you for being with us today. lots of different priorities in these level elections. i wonder what you are focusing on, what are the priorities of people locally in scotland? or big of people locally in scotland? a big thin for of people locally in scotland? a big thing for us — of people locally in scotland? a big thing for us in _ of people locally in scotland? a big thing for us in this _ of people locally in scotland? a; thing for us in this election is the

way, there are deep connections between some of the global challenges that we face in the local solutions that are needed. whether it is something like how we keep our homes, the energy efficiency investments, how we move about and make sure the public transport works for people. a lot of the solutions, climate crisis and the cost of living prices are the same, but they depend on national policy about local delivery. a lot of the counsellors elected in scotland, over the next year or so they will be delivering plans for heat and energy efficiency. it is one of the most important things we need to do to cut energy bills, but also cut carbon emissions. the role of counsellors in locally addressing some of the global challenges is critical. ., , some of the global challenges is critical. . , . .,, some of the global challenges is critical. . , ., critical. clearly, the cost of livin: critical. clearly, the cost of living prices _ critical. clearly, the cost of living prices is _ critical. clearly, the cost of living prices is something l critical. clearly, the cost of. living prices is something that critical. clearly, the cost of- living prices is something that all of us will deal, and you are making the link there with energy prices and the cost of energy one of the big reasons that prices are rising.

but some of the proposals you are putting in place take time, don't they? they take time to filter through. they are not an immediate fix. how do you tell voters you have solutions for next week, next month and rather than next year?— and rather than next year? actually, ener: and rather than next year? actually, energy efficiency _ and rather than next year? actually, energy efficiency is _ and rather than next year? actually, energy efficiency is one _ and rather than next year? actually, energy efficiency is one of _ and rather than next year? actually, energy efficiency is one of the - energy efficiency is one of the really quick wins on this, quick wins for investing in cutting people bother bills but also cutting carbon emissions. compared with the uk government whose energy security strategy just government whose energy security strategyjust recently government whose energy security strategy just recently was focused on things like nuclear and expanding the fossilfuel on things like nuclear and expanding the fossil fuel industry in a time of climate emergency. those things, evenif of climate emergency. those things, even if you are only concerned about the energy supply, not the carbon emissions, they take years or even decades to deliver. energy efficiency is one of the cheapest, because way that we can do it. there is a huge opportunity to do that in a way that has local counsellors leading, even local ownership of things like heat networks and district heating systems. it is one of the ways we can make sure that the economic activity of the energy

industry actually benefits people, gets reinvested in the building stock. the scottish government is committed to £1.8 billion of investment in the heat in buildings agenda in this parliament. that is the result of greens in government as part of the scottish government. if we get greens in the room, put things in direction, we push the government out of its comfort zone. that is what we have to do at council level as well. people do think global and act global, they get the first preference vote to green preference was. we get the first preference vote to green preference was. we have seen when it comes _ green preference was. we have seen when it comes to _ green preference was. we have seen when it comes to events _ green preference was. we have seen when it comes to events in _ green preference was. we have seen when it comes to events in russia, i green preference was. we have seen when it comes to events in russia, a| when it comes to events in russia, a lot of governments around the world saying they will not imported oil and gas from there. it has taught us it is not an immediate fix. we need the energy now if rises are to remain lower. i the energy now if rises are to remain lower.— the energy now if rises are to remain lower. i think it is very clear that _ remain lower. i think it is very clear that expanding - remain lower. i think it is very clear that expanding the - remain lower. i think it is veryj clear that expanding the fossil remain lower. i think it is very - clear that expanding the fossil fuel industry in a climate emergency is not responsible, but also doesn't

cut prices. these are globally created commodities, the increasing supply doesn't do anything to cut prices. what we need to do is help people to use less of the stuff, and we can do that faster than you much any other energy intervention. i have constituents in glasgow who, they have had their homes insulated and people say things like they have seen 60% cuts in their energy bills for some people saying they haven't had their things switch on for two years because it is so warm without having to rely on an external heating source. even when people do neither heating systems, they can be renewable, and the uk government needs to make change there as well, rebalancing gas and energy prices. the scottish government is playing its part but your local council is responsible by huge amount of the leverage here in the planning on it. if we want to accelerate that and make sure everybody benefits from it, getting greens in the room in

your local council will make a big difference. your local council will make a big difference-— your local council will make a big difference. ., ., , , difference. you have some pretty ambitious proposals, _ difference. you have some pretty ambitious proposals, ending - ambitious proposals, ending homelessness within ten years, cheap public transport. how do you pay for all this? , ., all this? there is a huge opportunity _ all this? there is a huge opportunity i _ all this? there is a huge opportunity i think- all this? there is a huge opportunity i think to i all this? there is a huge - opportunity i think to change the way we pay for local services. the greens for years, the only political party in scotland that has been consistent in placing the system with a fairer and more modern form of property tax, and we have now got a commitment as a result of having greens as part of the scottish government andrew the scottish parliament has failed since 99 to grapple with this issue of local tax reform. we are now going to hanover to the assembly. what we have already done is given council the powers to raise taxation in smaller ways in new and effective forms of tax rises that will hit those who

are high consumers of polluting activity, for example, or making sure that we are rating to the best and public transport. if we get this right, we can empower local councils to make economic choices that are right in the local context. we can give them the resources to invest in things like the republic transport, we just made bus travel free for everybody under 22 in scotland, and that in itself is good for young people, good forfamilies, but it also helps to keep the roots viable so bus services are less under threat from being cut. there is a huge amount we can do to get this right if we empower local councils. that is what greens have been growing from the scottish parliament and we want to be able to do that with our local council —— council chambers as well. with our local council -- council chambers as well.— with our local council -- council chambers as well. patrick harvie, thank ou chambers as well. patrick harvie, thank you for— chambers as well. patrick harvie, thank you for being _ chambers as well. patrick harvie, thank you for being with - chambers as well. patrick harvie, thank you for being with us - chambers as well. patrick harvie, thank you for being with us this i thank you for being with us this morning. mass lockdowns are a thing of the past here in the uk, but millions of people in china are still being confined to their homes. yes, that's because the chinese authorities remain committed

to a policy of what they call "zero covid". ros atkins has been taking a look at what it means and how well it's working. in many parts of the world, most covid restrictions are gone. but in china, this remains the strategy. lockdowns such as this one in shanghai. any change of course is being resisted. translation: iii being resisted. translation: ., being resisted. translation: . ., ., translation: if we chose to lay down now, our translation: if we chose to lay down now. our efforts _ translation: if we chose to lay down now, our efforts would _ translation: if we chose to lay down now, our efforts would have _ translation: if we chose to lay down now, our efforts would have come - translation: if we chose to lay down now, our efforts would have come to i now, our efforts would have come to nothing. we insist on zero covid. zero covid means lockdowns. it means a mass testing. and it means anyone who tests positive going to a government run quarantine centre. also in shanghai we have seen officials in hazmat, disinfecting the street, and fences to stop people leaving their flats. and we have seen this as well. electronic magnetic alarms will be placed on the front doors of some people in places where they have tested positive to try and monitor him them to make sure they don't leave. if

thatis to make sure they don't leave. if that is in shanghai, elsewhere, more than 20 others chinese cities are under some form of town. in the capital, beijing, people know they could be next. it has been panic buying up a new covid cases sparked rumours of a lot down. that hasn't happened, but millions of residents have been tested. now, this zero covid approach has saved lives during the pandemic, in china that have been fewer than 5000 recorded covid deaths. in the us, it is close to a million. the chinese government is keen to make that comparison. china has a1.1i billion is keen to make that comparison. china has a 1.4 billion people. it is more than all the 30 countries of the west. in the past two years, there is less than 1% in the west. the china zero covid commitment may come at a cost. the international monetary fund has cut its growth forecast for the chinese growth to 4.4%. china public target is 5.5%. if china polymer growth slows, could affect us all. the

winning wimbledon. he burst on the scene and swept all before him. it was an amazing introduction to the sport, and he reached the wimbledon finals six out of seven years. on that note, it is a shock when you think of howjarring that differences from being, as you put it, one of the most recognisable tennis players and sporting stars in the world. i don't think anybody in the world. i don't think anybody in the mid—19 80s did not know who boris becker was in the uk, every year. but we have had this coming. he has had a series of financial problems caused by his own actions, really, over the last 15 or 20 years since retirement. he has lived life like a world number one tennis player, despite being retired, so bankruptcy was declared and we have heard through the sentencing process of it that he has frankly been hiding some of those assets, and really the money has been going in

all sorts of directions. i suppose it had been coming. iie all sorts of directions. i suppose it had been coming.— all sorts of directions. i suppose it had been coming. he did lead a lifes le it had been coming. he did lead a lifestyle filled _ it had been coming. he did lead a lifestyle filled with _ it had been coming. he did lead a lifestyle filled with fame - it had been coming. he did lead a lifestyle filled with fame and - lifestyle filled with fame and wealth, made about £38 million from his playing career, which is a lot of money. what do you think went wrong? of money. what do you think went wron: ? ~ ~ . of money. what do you think went wronu? «a, , of money. what do you think went wronu? «p, ,., wrong? well, i think a series of oor wrong? well, i think a series of poor decisions, _ wrong? well, i think a series of poor decisions, if _ wrong? well, i think a series of poor decisions, if we _ wrong? well, i think a series of poor decisions, if we are - wrong? well, i think a series of. poor decisions, if we are honest. wrong? well, i think a series of i poor decisions, if we are honest. i think he got used to a certain lifestyle, and i think... i know this will probably sound like i am making excuses for him, but at 17 he was a boy and a man's body and he had such fame, such extraordinary fame, throughout his entire adult life and even before that, really, the transitional period. i don't think he really ever grew up, and he really couldn't handle the situation he was in, and just sort of assume that everything would be all right. people were throwing money at him. he was raking it in for so many years, and! he was raking it in for so many years, and i think that hejust carried on living life like that. when the bills started to come in, i

think he probably buried his head in the sand, and the problem just kind of carried on and snowballed. things got worse for him and you can say he didn't take responsibility for his actions, and here we are.- didn't take responsibility for his actions, and here we are. well, he is -a in: actions, and here we are. well, he is paying the _ actions, and here we are. well, he is paying the consequences - actions, and here we are. well, he is paying the consequences now. i actions, and here we are. well, he i is paying the consequences now. how forgiving is the world of sport? there is a lot of talk about what he will do next after he has served his sentence. is it your opinion that the world will welcome him back, considering that he is a flawed character, but as mike said, a golden boy?— character, but as mike said, a golden boy? character, but as mike said, a olden bo ? , ~ . golden boy? yes, i think there are certainly parts _ golden boy? yes, i think there are certainly parts of _ golden boy? yes, i think there are certainly parts of the _ golden boy? yes, i think there are certainly parts of the tennis - golden boy? yes, i think there are| certainly parts of the tennis world, parts of the sporting world, that won't, because some people will find it hard to accept those misdemeanours and just rush them off. but i think there are an awful lot of people, as well, that remember his achievements very fondly from the mid—19 80s. i certainly do. i was 12 years old when he won wimbledon. he was one of the reasons i wanted to work in

tennis, so i can't airbrush that from my consciousness and i think many people will feel similarly. he has shown that he can be an exceptional coach. he coached novak djokovic for three years and was part of a huge success story there. he was a popular commentator and pundit. he is somebody who has been around the scene, he has immense charm, and maybe there is a way to redeem that character in the eyes of people when he has served his time. but i think only time will tell on that. . ~ but i think only time will tell on that. ., ~ , ., but i think only time will tell on that. ., ~' , ., , but i think only time will tell on that. ., ~ , . but i think only time will tell on that. . ~ , ., , . ., that. thank you very much indeed for our that. thank you very much indeed for your thoughts — that. thank you very much indeed for your thoughts and _ that. thank you very much indeed for your thoughts and your _ that. thank you very much indeed for your thoughts and your insight. i now football, and some news to perhaps settle some chelsea nerves, because we are finally getting closer to finding out who will buy chelsea football club? bbc sport now understands that a consortium led by la dodgers owner todd boehly is set to be named the preferred bidder to takeover the club. it had been put up for sale before owner roman abramovich was sanctioned for his alleged links to russian president vladimir putin following the invasion of ukraine. it is set to be a huge match later in the women's six nations as england are in france

for a winner—takes—all decider to this year's tournament. both sides have won all four of their matches with bonus points. england are ahead only on points difference. head coach simon middleton says it is a golden opportunity to show how his team can deal with a hostile, partisan crowd for a game in bayonne that was sold out months ago. there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever france will have some great moments in the game, hopefully not too many of them. but the crowd and the noise will be incredible when they have their moments. and how we handle those moments, again, is a real good test of where we're at, both in terms of that ability on the field but also our mental strength. history will be made at madison square gardens as the first all—female headline bout takes centre stage at the new york venue later tonight. the undefeated katie taylor of ireland and puerto rico's amanda serrano will face off in what has been billed as the biggest fight in women's boxing. it will be the sixth time taylor has put her belts on the line

since winning them injune 2019. the enormity of the occasion shows just how far female boxing has come, and taylor says she is proud to have played a part in that. i think saturday night could very well be the best night of my career. it is a moment of history, and ever since the fight has been announced a few months ago, i can feel the excitement, i can feel the pressure from people and this is one of the best moments for boxing as a whole. i look forward to coming out as the best. it i look forward to coming out as the best. . , i look forward to coming out as the best. ., , . ., i look forward to coming out as the best. ., , _, ., i look forward to coming out as the best. .,, _, ., ., ._ i look forward to coming out as the best. ., ., , . best. it has come a long way since the first female _ best. it has come a long way since the first female professional- best. it has come a long way since| the first female professional boxer in the uk, after she was told women couldn't fight because they were not emotionally stable enough. incredible, isn't it? thank goodness we have come round to this point now. . ~' we have come round to this point now. ., " ., we have come round to this point now. ., ~ ., ,

through the afternoon. heavier bursts in there as well, half an inch of rain potentially falling before the system clears through. on the south and east, the vast majority of england and wales, a misty and chilly morning with a touch of frost, but lots of sunshine and we will keep the sunshine throughout the day. east anglia, essex and kent that were grey and cool yesterday will be a different story. as of 18. when we had 18 in glasgow yesterday, 11 or 12 the higher. the cloud will act like our friend through the night. it drags a blanket of loud further east and venting temperatures falling to far. frost free first thing on sunday morning. these are temperatures to expect. quite a lot of contrast is many areas hovering just below freezing. we will continue to see some rain but it will be a very weak affair. the heaviest birth potentially across parts of wales,

south—west wales, but as it moves south, it will fragment and we can offer areas, some areas things bits and spots, a bit of a nuisance. a cloudy and damp afternoon for many. the best of the sunshine on sunday will be further north and west. temperatures will start to recover. glasgow backup around 16 degrees. bank holiday monday, a fairly bleak affair in terms of the cloud cover. the northerly wind feeling cooler as well across exposed coasts of scotland. a few scattered showers. if you do get some sunshine, favoured spots in the south with a bit of shelter from the breeze. but in the cloud and cool breeze, seven to ten. back to you two. thank you very much. we were so busy watching ospreys, we were checking a bit later. time now for this week's newswatch.

hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. were the details in the bbc report on the tim westwood allegations too lurid to broadcast before the watershed? translation: with me, - you've chosen an ambitious plan for france and for europe. and praise for the bbc�*s coverage of the french election — but should we use subtitles instead of voice—overs? the announcement that the former radio 1 dj tim westwood had been accused of sexual misconduct by seven women provoked outrage and a lot of questions. he denies the allegations, which were the subject of the bbc documentary tim westwood: abuse of trust, which aired on tuesday. it was previewed in a report on the news at six. in london, alone, with this guy who is a lot older than me. now, if i tried to get out of it,

who's to say how he's going to react? so i just submit to it. traumatic — that's how i describe it. although many viewers praised the investigation, there were also concerns, with hazel murie complaining about the amount of what she thought was lurid detail in the bbc�*s tv news reporting of the story. maggie parkerfelt the reports had been unbalanced, with long descriptions of the allegations against tim westwood, but nothing in his defence. she said it amounted to "trial by tv." bbc news has said it is

confident the reporting complied fully with its editorial guidelines. a bbc spokesperson told us that this had been a lengthy joint investigation by the bbc and the guardian, and there was a clear public interest in bringing the allegations to light. the presidential election in france dominated much of bbc news output last weekend, as emmanuel macron was voted back into the elysee palace for another five years. translation: with me, i you've chosen an ambitious plan for france and for europe. there's a lot for us to do. the war in ukraine reminds us that we live in tragic times, and france must make its voice heard.

translation: tonight's . historic score puts our camp in an excellent position to obtain a large number of deputies nextjune. mary—rose hughes was an enthusiastic viewer of the output, but she had a plea to make. the bbc has given us this response to mary—rose's suggestion. the discussion show dateline london has been running on the bbc�*s domestic and international news channels

for over 25 years. it's strictly to get a foreign view of what's going on in britain, as others see us. from the days of its first presenter, charles wheeler, guests on the programme have included foreign correspondence based in the uk, providing a fresh perspective on the big stories of the week. my guests today are thomas kielinger of die welt, polly toynbee of the guardian, mina al—oraibi of asharq al—awsat, and brian o'connell, who's an irish journalist. welcome to you all. the format remained unchanged through the days of gavin esler, and for the past five years, it's been hosted by one of news channel's presenters, with shaun ley normally in the chair of late. but this week it emerged that dateline london faces the axe from september, with the bbc saying in a statement:

several viewers have told us they are unhappy with the decision to end the programme. beth hutchings recorded this video for us. i was watching dateline last saturday, as i always do and have done for many years, thinking how amazing shaun ley is, the way he gets the group to merge and mingle, and get a really good discussion going. so you can imagine my distress hearing later on that the bbc is thinking of cutting it. i believe that this is a unique, niche programme unlike any other news programme on the bbc. and i know the bbc are saying that we can watchjohn simpson, which is a new programme,

but he speaks purely to experts from the bbc, it is notjournalists from around the world telling us what they think, and their countries think, of britain. and i think it would be tragic if this programme was cut. it's a short programme, once a week, it can't possibly cost enough money for the bbc to be thinking of stopping it. thanks to beth hutchings for that. well, nick guthrie, who edits the programme, has said publicly he feels it would be a tragedy to cancel it now, as audiences cry out for clarity. and we do hope to explore the fate of dateline london further with a bbc executive in the next few weeks. do let us know your thoughts on anything we are covering in this week's programme or on any aspect of bbc news. details of how to contact us at the end of the programme. before that, some of your other comments. it's been a big week for football fans

with two clubs, liverpool and manchester city, both featuring in the semifinals of the champions league. on wednesday, nestor mcgregor was at anfield to look forward to liverpool's game that night. they're on the edge of history, chasing four trophies. the league cup already in the bag, they're on the hunt for the champions league, the fa cup and of course the premier league as well. and how fitting that no british team has ever done it, that this city, already home to the fab four, won, or wins, the big four. but that claim that "no british team" had won the so—called quadruple was challenged by football fans with long memories, particularly those from scotland. gerald freel pointed out: and iain lees backed that up: those comments reflect a concern

we have heard before, that the bbc sometimes conflates britain with england, and can tend to forget parts of the united kingdom outside london and the south—east. it's to counter that perception, one voiced recently by the contradictory nadine dorries, that the bbc promised last year recently that some of its flagship news programmes such as the today programme, newsnight and bbc one news bulletins would be presented on occasion from around the country. and that's why huw edwards popped up on wednesday in cardiff. good evening, noswaith dda, and welcome to bbc news at six, which comes today from the headquarters of bbc wales in cardiff. the move to put bbc one bulletins on the road once in a while has elicited some grumbles from viewers in the past, with andrew riley wondering of huw edwards back in september:

the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall visited this building, new broadcasting house, on thursday to mark 90 years of the world service. that anniversary falls later this year, and the royal couple were keen to see where the magic happens. classical music plays i don't think we have featured any royal comments on newswatch before, but in a first, here is a tweet from prince charles after his visit, directed at world service staff.

finally, a plea from an elderly viewer along with a compliment for us as newswatch, which we couldn't resist including. ian plummerfrom dunstable got on the telephone to make this prompt. my point is, first of all, to congratulate your programme on being the only one on the news channel that gives a phone number. i'm 90 years old. i don't have a computer. i don't have a smartphone. i would appreciate it very much if your programme could put pressure on the news channel whenever they do a "your questions answered", to put a phone number up so that people like me can get in touch. thank you, ian, and thank you

for your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about anything you see or hear on bbc news and current affairs on tv, radio, or social media, do email newswatch: that's all from us, we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. our headlines today. neil parish, the conservative mp accused of watching pornography in the commons, rejects calls to resign — saying he will stand

down if an inquiry finds him guilty. of course it's embarrassing and it's embarrassing for my wife and family. and so that's my main concern at the moment. good morning. boris becker spends his first night in jail after being sentenced to two and a half years for hiding assets to avoid paying debts. the families of two british men volunteering in ukraine who have been captured by the russian military plead for their safe return. i cannot cope with it. i have not eaten. i cannot sleep. cloudy, breezy, with rain for scotland and northern ireland. all that whether details coming up shortly.

and we'll hear from born to perform — the inclusive dance school that got a britain's got talant golden buzzer from david walliams. it's saturday the 30th of april. a conservative mp accused of watching pornography in the house of commons has rejected calls to resign — but said he will stand down if found guilty. neil parish has been suspended by the conservatives and has referred himself to the parliamentary commissioner for standards. he spoke to journalists yesterday. of course it's embarrassing and it's embarrassing for my wife and family. and so that's my main concern at the moment. i have a very supportive wife and i thank her for that. neil, was it a mistake? i will wait... await the findings of the inquiry.

i'm talking about, did you open something up by error in the commons? i did, but let the inquiry look at that. ewan murrie is in mr parish's constituency of tiverton, in devon. ewan, how has this news been received there? it has been a mixed picture here. almost everybody is shocked that neil parish has been implicated in this scandal. i did hear back a few moments ago from one female tory mp in the county, she says she wants him to get a fair hearing. but she did see, that of all her colleagues, he is one of if you that she thinks might have looked at this material by accident. that is what he suggested himself, but did not confirm that that is the case, in terms of people in the constituency, most feeling that he has let the

area down. i have been chatting to a local history teacher in the street who says, bad example for her students. many people here also reserving judgment until we get the full facts of the case. people wanted to know, how and why it was he was watching that material, if indeed that was the case. waiting for the outcome of that investigation. otherwise, people are really shocked and surprised. some seeing they think he should resign right away, they do not want any more information. our political correspondent nick eardley is in our london newsroom. nick, how will this investigation work? neil parish remains an mp. he is also the chair of a powerful committee, the environment committee in parliament. and he has made it clear that he intends to continue doing so while this investigation is

carried out. there could be two investigations. one from the parliamentary standards commissioner, the otherfrom parliamentary standards commissioner, the other from the independent grievance and complaints service, which looks at you things like this. if either of them find him guilty, then he could face punishment, from having to apologise to the house of commons, all the way up to the house of commons, all the way up to being suspended, or potentially even expelled from parliament. those processes can take a while. it is not completely clear how quickly this is going to be sorted out. there are some mps saying that neil parish should stay away from parliament house has carried out, something he should stand down from the role on chairing the committee while those investigations are carried out, there are some, in the liberal democrats, saying he should resign. he did not go into detail yesterday when he was interviewed, but he did say that if he was found guilty he would not remain as an mp. but it is

not completely clear how long that process is going to take. as i say, for now, neil parish remains both an mp, and the chair of that committee. yes, he does. thank you. the three—times wimbledon champion boris becker has spent his first night in prison after he was sentenced to two and a half years for hiding assets to avoid paying debts. mike's here with more on this. mike, this is a fall from grace, isn't it? he has managed to get through £38 million. that is an estimate from his playing career. he shot to world fame at age 17. became a golden boy of tennis, youngest ever to win the men's title, in 1985, at the age of 17. he became known as boom, boom, becker.

household name. he settled in london. 35 years later, starting a jail sentence, for hiding assets. he is found guilty of breaking uk insolvency laws, after being declared bankrupt previously. basically, he had assets and transferred around 350,000 from his business accounts, to others, to give money away. a lot of reaction coming in. people struggling to deal with the news. how it has come to this. we knew that after his tennis career his life was overshadowed by a turbulent private life and repeated financial difficulties. during the trial, boris becker said he had heard a large amount during his career, his income had reduced dramatically after retirement in 1999. a co—commentator who knew

boris becker well says, it raises question as to how to deal with success from a young age. she says he was generous to those around him. she said, she thinks he will be able to get his life together after this. she thinks he will be able to get some career back, whether coaching, or commentating. the mother of a british humanitarian volunteer, who's thought to have been captured by russian forces in ukraine, has pleaded for him to be released. paul urey went missing, along with fellow briton dylan healy, after they tried to rescue a family from a village near the city of zaporizhzhia. tim muffett has the latest developments. dylan healy and paul urey — in ukraine to provide humanitarian assistance but now captured by the russian military, according to a british

aid organisation. it is thought they were stopped at a checkpoint as they tried to help a mother and her children leave a village near zaporizhzhia. at her home near preston, paul urey�*s mother explained why, against her wishes, her son had decided to go to ukraine. he said, "i can't sit there, mum, and watch people dying. "because they're hungry, they're scared." he said, "i've seen people where they're ducking every time "there's a noise." he said, "i can't live with myself." i said, "but, what about me? "what about your family? " paul urey is in his mid—40s and diabetic. his mum had this message for whoever is holding him. please give him back. he's a family man. he's my carer, he helps me. and he's been gone two weeks now — a week they've had him.

imiss him. i can't cope with it. i've not ate, i can't sleep. dylan healy was driving the car at the time of the men's capture, according to a british aid organisation. he is described as a trained chef, originally from huntingdon in cambridgeshire. in the ukrainian capital, kyiv, the clearing up after russian missile strikes continues, one of which killed a ukrainian journalist working for the american broadcaster radio liberty. in mariupol, the besieged port city, explosions can still be heard. much of the fighting here has stopped, but there are vivid reminders of how intense it was. in virginia, an emotional us defence department spokesman accused vladimir putin of brutality and depravity. it's difficult to look at the...

sorry. it's difficult to look at some of the images and imagine that any well—thinking, serious, mature leader would do that. so i can't talk to his psychology, but i think we can all speak to his depravity. for 91 ukrainian refugees, a new beginning. in the village of hartley, near dartford in kent, host families met the people who will be sharing their homes. nadia says her son was so traumatised by the war, he would hide in a wardrobe. she knew they had to try and leave the country. some of my documents, and we were quickly running, very quickly, because it was terrible. they feel very far away from home now, and ultimately all of these

people, theyjust want to be at home. a warm welcome to a new, unfamiliar country where a new chapter awaits. tim muffett, bbc news. now we're joined by dominik byrne, from the presidium network, which had been in contact with the two men. what we have been doing last night and this morning is reviewing the data that has been coming in for the last 48 hours. we have been doing the analysis with our expert in—house, to see what could have happened, potential scenarios. and the data and evidence keeps leading back to that they have been captured. we are now back in direct contact with the women that they were trying to rescue at the time. we should be talking to her father

today and getting some more of her story, to validate, therefore passing on more details. we do not have any further updates on the ground, where they are, what is happening to them. what we know so far, is what i said yesterday, they were trying to rescue this lady. she was interrogated by what she says was interrogated by what she says was russian soldiers. therefore, it keeps on leading to this scenario, that they have been captured outside the area that they were supposed to be picking her up from. the entire process, as you have alluded to, is very difficult, very tricky, because when it comes to diplomatic channels they are not exactly up and running and being fluid. ., ., ., ., ., fluid. no, not at all. even, what i would call — fluid. no, not at all. even, what i would call non-political _ fluid. no, not at all. even, what i | would call non-political diplomatic would call non—political diplomatic channels have been shut down,

safely, get the right advice and training. good to talk to you. thank you for spending time with us. co—founder of a uk based not—for—profit organisation, presidium network. let's speak now to our correspondent in kyiv, joe inwood. joe, despite the atrocities and destruction, president zelensky has said he's still willing to hold peace talks with russia. explain a bit about what he says. it is one of the things, the points he has made repeatedly, is that dialogue is always an option. he said in a press conference last week we were at that his preference would be a diplomatic solution. i think we are going to find, there are certain red lines he has set out, one of them would be the killing of the mariupol defenders, the other, annexation of territory, those are two red lines, other than that, he said dialogue is always an option,

indeed his preference. but we have to be realistic about this, and what the landing ground for any negotiation would be. at the moment it is zero. on the one side you have got the russians, who would want to annex large portions of ukrainian territory. ukrainians, not only want that not to happen, also they want to regain territory lost in 2014. virtually no is a four agreement there in a diplomatic solution now. the time that you might see a diplomatic solution as we are one side militarily knows the game is up, knows it has lost. given the support ukrainians are currently getting from nato, and given the resources the russians have behind them, and also the necessity to present some kind of victory for president putin and his political survival, no side is going to think the game is up, no side is going to be coming to the negotiating table, because they have to at this point, so i do not think a diplomatic solution is coming any time soon. thank you for the latest. our correspondent in kyiv.

it is bank holiday weekend. will the weather match our expectations of a bank holiday weekend? iam going i am going with the glass half full. the frost across england, but lovely sunshine coming through. not for all others. but there was sunshine yesterday in scotland. today, cloudy skies. some rain around. scotland and northern ireland, mixed fortunes for your start to the bank holiday weekend. that is because of this area of low pressure. living in off the atlantic. the rain is patchy at the atlantic. the rain is patchy at the moment. it's will start to kick in as we go through the morning. pushing through to northern ireland, north—west scotland. that will drift steadily eastward through the remainder of the afternoon. brighter

and drier weather across eastern scotland and the borders, that will not last. winds will pick up, around half an inch of rain is likely to fall in one or two spots. angled and is, drive, settled, sunny. lighter winds. exposed east coast when it has been grey recently, not bad, highs of 15—17 c. slightly cooler under a cloud and rain. that cloud and rain is pushing steadily south. we will notice a change to the story in the second half of the weekend. more cloud moving its way across the country, that will mean frost free first thing on sunday morning. it also means there will be some rain. wales, central and southern england. that france will start to weaken as it sinks steadily south. a cloudy and damp story for much of england and damp story for much of england and we on story —— on sunday.

temperatures back up to 16, 17 celsius. that is the story on sunday. bank holiday monday, likely to be rather grey. largely dry. good deal of what we like to call it usable weather, will be able to get out and enjoy yourself. scattered showers. cooler, further north. cool and cloudy, tuesday into wednesday. not that much in the way of rain. largely dry. the passport office says it's facing unprecedented demand from millions of people who had put off renewing or applying for the documents

during the pandemic. changes in the rules since brexit also means some passports are not valid because they're too close to the expiry date. our business reporter esyllt carr has more. this was the last time alexandra and herfamily saw her sister, three years ago. they have spent £4,000 to fly to her wedding in the states next week. but despite paying to have all their passport applications checked 11 weeks ago, alexandra had to send in an extra birth certificate and is still waiting on two passports, including her four—month—old son's. i've got my bridesmaids dress. the tailor has just told me today that my dress is ready to collect. i'm frustrated. i can't let my children get excited, i don't want to get excited myself. i don't want to stress my sister out, who obviously wants to be excited for her wedding, wants to be excited to see us. i'm just trying to keep the worst—case scenario in the back of our minds, because i'm just waiting for a call from the passport office constantly.

the home office is advising that passport applications are taking up to ten weeks to process, but they say it can take longer if any information is incomplete. since the uk left the eu, a uk passport has to be less than ten years old to enter an eu country, as well as some others like norway and switzerland, so you have to check the issue date as well as the expiry. and now, most places in europe require you to have at least three months left on your passport beyond your trip. at the passport office in london, we met people trying to get the right documents. i hadn't heard anything about this. they should have had advertisers up... wendy's passport doesn't expire until next year, but she has only just found out that new rules following brexit means she can't use it for her holiday next month because it was issued more than ten years ago. so it's out of date. so i've applied for getting a new one, but it's taken me four days to get through to the appointments, because all the appointments have gone.

a spokesperson for the passport office said that 5 million people had delayed applying for their travel documents during the pandemic, and to cope with the demand, they had taken on 500 extra members of staff in the last year. they say that in march they processed a record number of applications. but in the commons earlier this week, a home office minister acknowledged that parts of the system were under strain. we recognise difficulties in contacting the passport office will cause concern for those wanting assurances about their applications. in response, the provider of the passport advice line, teleperformance, have been urgently tasked to add additional staff, as their current performance is unacceptable. passengers aren't the only ones feeling frustrated. for an industry that has been shut down, practically decimated for two years, this passport chaos is just so frustrating — completely unnecessary. the industry really needs this to be sorted.

it needs to be sorted quickly. and very frustrating for my travel agent members, but also consumers who get caught up in this — with thousands of people preparing to travel abroad for the first time since the pandemic, the advice for anyone booking a trip is to check their documents sooner rather than later. esyllt carr, bbc news. the independent�*s travel correspondent simon calder joins us from madeira. there is the backlog of people trying to get a new passport or renew a passport, and the other is concerns, queries about expiry dates on passports. talk to us first of all about this backlog. how long is it taking, what are people able to do, if anything? let us get this all set up. one year ago, the passport office, which i have been talking to for two years,

saying, as soon as travel restrictors are lifted there will be a massive surge in applications, what are you going to do? they said, one year ago, anybody who wants to get a new passport or to renew their old one, as to allow ten weeks. the home office, which runs her majesties passport office, tells me there is no backlog, they are processing most passports relatively quickly. indeed, iam hearing from processing most passports relatively quickly. indeed, i am hearing from a lot of people who say, it's just took two or three weeks. they are entirely happy. however, with1 million applications last month, which was certainly unprecedented, but not exactly unexpected, these are taking a very long time. and there are many individual cases, as we heard they are, of passports getting stuck in the system, and people missing their holidays. now, there is also the problem of people who have finally taken the passport out of their drawer, three weeks

before their holiday, notice that it does not meet the expiry requirements, and want to get a new appointment, and have been trying all morning to get either an online premium appointment costing £177, or a fast—track appointment, costing £142, and neither of those are available. just having a quick look, i have tried once again, clicking on the link, it is a saying, this service is not available, and we do not have appointments available at the moment, please dry again later. speaking to many people, they are trying it again later, and trying again, and sometimes, they might, in york, in belfast, get an appointment, but foran york, in belfast, get an appointment, but for an awful lot of people, very miserable. the only thing i can say is, please be absolutely sure that you need to renew your passport. because a lot

of people are, unfortunately, applying for passports when they do not need to. that is coming up the works, and causing them and everyone else, more stress. shall we do some quickfire questions and answers from viewers? our son's passport was submitted in january, it did not arrive in time for our holiday, we lost £600 and cancelled flights. right. two possible answers. the home office says, if you do not get your passport within ten weeks we will not compensate you, but we will allow you to see this as an urgent, can we have it in two weeks. it did not happen in that case. elsewhere, the passport office says, we do not have a statutory obligation if we mess things up, to compensate people, but generally, we will do the right thing. it is worth asking.

there is no automatic obligation to it. or you can do, there is no automatic obligation to it. oryou can do, if there is no automatic obligation to it. or you can do, if you have a really urgent appointment, that is in urgent need to travel, that would normally be some family obligation, or something crucial, then you can call the passport advice line, and they can try and find something for you. but i am afraid, right now there are thousands of you viewers, who are like me, refreshing the system, and it is still seeing, no appointments are available. that is an awful position to be in. having said that, the home office assures me that they are increasing the number of possible interview appointments. that might all change

on tuesday, after the bank holiday. it should be. and the passport office will give your money back if it does not. no. i would always go for the online £177 version, because then you actually pick at the passport at the appointment. of course it does not. i do not wish to sound harsh. but of course it does not. i do not wish to sound harsh.— of course it does not. i do not wish to sound harsh. but the government, last ear, to sound harsh. but the government, last year, completely _ to sound harsh. but the government, last year, completely unforgivably i last year, completely unforgivably put a passport check online which

said extra validity given on children's passports was not valid. they took it down after i told them to come it is ridiculous i should have to do that. but no, all children's passports issued for five years, nine months, they all meet the ten year test, by definition they were not issued ten years ago. my they were not issued ten years ago. my passport has its tenth birthday in three weeks' time, and i am still using its perfectly happily. all children's passports are fine. what you need to watch out for is that expiry date. cani can i also add it, because it is really important, the only countries that care about the issue date are those in the european union, and by the way the uk helped to write those rules. the other countries, turkey, they do not care when your passport was issued, america do not care. you can use your passport to get to the us and be there up to its expiry

date, so please again do not renew your passport unless you absolutely have to. there are an awful lot of people who would be perfectly able to travel on their passports this summer even though, like mine, and indeed like me, they are getting on a bit! ,, ., , ., indeed like me, they are getting on a bit! ,, ., i. ., ., a bit! simon, when you go through --assort a bit! simon, when you go through passport control _ a bit! simon, when you go through passport control and _ a bit! simon, when you go through passport control and say _ a bit! simon, when you go through passport control and say you i a bit! simon, when you go through passport control and say you do i a bit! simon, when you go through| passport control and say you do not have three months left on your passport and you are travelling to the eu, is it automatically flagged? no, you almost certainly will not be allowed to travel. if you have not got three months remaining on your passport on the day you intend to come back from the eu, then that they can't reject you. i hope, i dare say, a lot of people have slipped through the net. —— they can reject you. that would be fantastic, because before brexit your passport was valid up to its expiry date anywhere in europe, but if we do

though is it two macro conditions. the first, about the issue date, it cannot have its tenth birthday, about the expiry date, it must be at least three months after you intend to return from the eu. there is the only two rules, they are completely independent of each other. whatever your airline or travel company might say, i am going round chasing them all, this week tui give up pretending there was such a thing as a six month rule, so i'm going round, but it is ridiculous i should be doing less and i am asking the civil aviation authority to get the airlines all in line as well as airlines all in line as well as airlines uk, their trade organisation. airlines uk, their trade oruanisation. ., ., ., organisation. someone has to do it and it sounds _ organisation. someone has to do it and it sounds like _ organisation. someone has to do it and it sounds like you _ organisation. someone has to do it and it sounds like you are - organisation. someone has to do it and it sounds like you are the i organisation. someone has to do it and it sounds like you are the man | and it sounds like you are the man for thejob. and it sounds like you are the man forthejob. i know and it sounds like you are the man for thejob. i know this might sound horribly obvious, but you say do not renew your passport unless you absolutely have to, just be really clear, what defines absolutely have to? ii clear, what defines absolutely have to? , ., ., ., clear, what defines absolutely have to? ., ., ., clear, what defines absolutely have to? if you have a holiday booked, for example. _

to? if you have a holiday booked, for example, let's _ to? if you have a holiday booked, for example, let's say _ to? if you have a holiday booked, for example, let's say 1st - to? if you have a holiday booked, for example, let's say 1st of i to? if you have a holiday booked, i for example, let's say 1st of august going to lovely madeira for two weeks, ok, if your passport was issued anytime from 2nd of august 2012 onwards and it is valid for more than three months from the 15th of august, then you do not need to renew your passport. it is as simple as that. if you are going say to beautiful florida and on those same dates and your passport expires on the 15th of august, it does not matter, it is still a perfectly valid for travel. so have a look, ideally you book through a travel agent and they will tell you exactly the rules that apply in your case, but please do not go through the stress, anxiety, add to the problem of applying for a passport when you do not need to, but conversely, as soon as the programme is over, have a look, check your issue date, check

your expiry date, check when you are going on holiday and if necessary apply for a passport which could take ten weeks, but i hope it will be an awful lot quicker.— take ten weeks, but i hope it will be an awful lot quicker. simon, as alwa s, be an awful lot quicker. simon, as always. thank— be an awful lot quicker. simon, as always, thank you, _ be an awful lot quicker. simon, as always, thank you, and _ be an awful lot quicker. simon, as always, thank you, and i - be an awful lot quicker. simon, as always, thank you, and i hope i be an awful lot quicker. simon, as always, thank you, and i hope you get to enjoy a little bit of that sun inn at madeira in between chasing airlines and passport offices. —— enjoy that sunshine. it isjust after 8:30am. we need to bring you up—to—date with what is happening with boris becker. yes, lots of reaction as he starts his jail sentence for being found guilty of breaking uk insolvency laws. interesting in terms of what he said to the courts, because we know of his glittering career for six grandson titles, six when wooden titles, he earned a staggering £38 million, you would think that was for life. —— grand slam titles. he said he spent a lot on an expensive divorce, child maintenance payments

as well, expensive lifestyle commitments he says. also, £22,000 a month in rent for his house in wimbledon. 35 years on from when he started his career as a 17—year—old blonde haired lad in the sunshine on centre court, becoming the youngest player ever to win the men's singles title, he is injail. legendary tennis player boris becker has spent his first night in jail, after being sentenced to two and a half years. the former wimbledon champion boris becker was convicted of hiding £2.5 million worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts when he was declared bankrupt in 2017. judge deborah taylor said he had shown no remorse or acceptance of guilt. onto football, we are getting closer to finding out what the future holds for chelsea football club. bbc sport now understands that a consortium, led by la dodgers owner todd boehly, is set to be named the preferred bidder to takeover the club. it had been put up for sale before owner roman abramovich

was sanctioned for his alleged links to russian president vladimir putin following the invasion of ukraine. in the championship, sheffield united made sure their hopes of reaching the play—offs remains in their own hands. they were losing at queens park rangers, but a stirring second half meant they won 3—1 in the end. a win now in theirfinal game against the already promoted fulham will seal a play—off spot. it's set to be a huge match later in the women's six nations as england are in france for a winner takes all decider to this year's tournament. both sides have won all four of their matches with bonus points — england are ahead only on points difference, but will have to deal with the partisan sell—out crowd in bayone. this will also be a marker of where the teams are at with the world cup, when france will be in england's pool in the autumn. we will be hearing from a six nations winner in an hour's time.

what a game between northampton saints and harlequins in the english premiership last night. it was 31—29 to harlequins going into the last four minutes, but a penalty from the ice cool james grayson from nearly as far out as the halfway line ensured that saints came away with a 32—31win. it means that they go six points clear of fifth—placed exeter. it was a big night in rugby league, as leeds rhinos managed a second win in a row for the first time this season, as they ended hull kr's six—match winning streak at headingley. meanwhile, wigan are now level on points with super league leaders st helens after victory at warrington. ethan havard crashed over with their final try to win 40 points to 22. it leaves warrington seventh in the table. elsewhere, st helens beat salford to stay top of the league, thanks to a greater points difference. we're seeing two of the best semifinals in recent history at the world championships in sheffield and both are still hard to call. judd trump had dominated the opening session of his semi until three—time champion mark williams

pulled off an extraordinary comeback in the evening to cut the deficit in their semifinal to 13 frames to 11. in the other semifinal, the world number one ronnie o'sullivan does now have a 10—6 lead overjohn higgins. it had been a really close start after the opening session. but o'sullivan made five half centuries to break away. they'll be back in action later this morning live on the bbc. emma raducanu has won herfirst match since splitting with coach torben beltz earlier this week. she beat the world number 49 tereza martincova in straight sets in the opening round of the madrid open, winning 7—6, 6—0. now while in racing today, it's one of the highlights of the new flat season, the 2000 guiness. over thejumps, the dream team are at it again. rachael blackmore and honeysuckle combined again for more success, as they won the punches—town champion hurdle. the win extends honeysuckle's

perfect race record to 16 wins, while for blackmore it continues a fine season, which has included the cheltenham gold cup. the duo finished three lengths clear of the next horse. it's been called the biggest fight ever in women's boxing. all eyes will be on new york's madison square garden tonight for the clash between ireland's katie taylor and puerto rico's amanda serrano. the prize? the undisputed lightweight title and a place in history. adie adedoyin has more. the best facing the best. katie taylor, amanda serrano... neither wanted to blink first — the weigh—in was an event in itself. both have had their names in lights all week, the pair reaching new heights here in new york — a photo op on the empire state building ahead of this landmark moment in boxing. i think tonight could be the best fight of my career. there's definitely something different about tonight. this is a moment in history.

the first women to headline madison square garden. ireland's former olympic champion is the crossover star. serrano, a seven—weight world champion, is the co—star looking to steal the show. 13 years as a pro—fighter, i have struggled and fought my way to this spot right now. and i want to go out there and just secure that victory. and the target — the undisputed lightweight title and a place in history. a chance to join the list of all—time greats who have secured milestone wins at this iconic venue. so what can we expect on fight night between katie taylor and amanda serrano? we have a clash of styles, and after about a round, katie taylor can box no longer. she has to brawl. and that's when we get what i call a rocky moment, where everyone stands up, you can hear the tunes in your head and theyjust hit each other for ten rounds. this blockbuster bout notjust

significant but also lucrative. both will earn over $1 million. that is double the challenger�*s last payday, and the promoter is putting his money where his mouth is. i bet amanda wins for $1 million. and the bookies agree with him. let's shake on it. the last time katie taylor fought here she unified the division. all those belts are up for grabs later this evening, and the odds makers are backing the local favourite to dethrone the champion. huge moment and huge at night ahead for women's boxing. thank you very much. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. a real mixed bag. good morning, i think i willjust stay a real mixed bag. good morning, i think i will just stay with think i willjust stay with this actually, not bad really. this is the kind of weather we would all love this bank holiday weekend, but not all of us will see had. this is actually lincolnshire just a couple

of hours ago, absolutely beautiful start to the morning but we have quite a lot of cloud around unfortunately and that is up to the fat north and west and there will be some rain in the forecast today. that cloudy wet weather will push into northern ireland and western scotland so starting relatively bright in parts of scotland but is not expected to last as we see those cloudy conditions develop. england and wales, not a bad today and with light winds in comparison to recently it will feel quite pleasant and also means we do not do that because filtering in of the north sea, so the best of the sunshine certainly in england and wales. that wetter weather will turn heavy and breezy from the west. top temperatures are likely through saturday afternoon of around 12 or 13 degrees under the cloud and rain, but highest value, 17 celsius into the far south—east, that is 63 fahrenheit. the cloud will continue to sink south through the night which will act like a blanket and

prevent those temperatures from falling too far, so we do not need to worry about frost first thing tomorrow morning but there will be some rain in the forecast and different fortunes for tomorrow. if you have the sunshine today, you're going to wake up to cloudy skies with outbreaks of rain across wales and into the midlands, but when you have the rain today, hopefully you will see the rest of the sunshine, so scotland and northern ireland, a few scattered showers into northern ireland, but there will be brighter spells, there will be some sun and again those temperatures are set to rebound back up to 17 celsius through sunday afternoon. bank holiday monday it looks likely to be a great affair, but on the whole, largely dry for many of us. northerly winds start to come into play and that will really make it feel quite cool across the northern isles, far north—east of scotland with a few scattered showers here as well, but again, away from that northerly wind, if we get some sunshine coming through, sun is quite strong at this time of year which will help to warm things up around 17 degrees. staying dry on

tuesday into wednesday, first few days of may no significant rain in the forecast, just that little bit cooler. back the forecast, just that little bit cooler. back to the forecast, just that little bit cooler. back to you the forecast, just that little bit cooler. back to you two. the forecast, just that little bit cooler. back to you two. nice the forecast, just that little bit cooler. back to you two. nice to the forecast, just that little bit cooler. back to you two. nice to see you. britain's got talent is on telly tonight, and if you were watching last week, you'll have seen a very special moment. it involved a standing ovation, a golden buzzer and a truly uplifting routine by a dance troupe called born to perform, who definitely lived up to that name. kris holland went to meet them. it is the week after the weekend before for the stars of born to perform. their audition for itv�*s britain's got talent was actually filmed back injanuary, but now the secret is out, giving them their moment in the spotlight. we are a dance school and we are also a support and care service for children and adults with disabilities. we run throughout the week for adults and it is just a really, really positive place. the group's performance of you can't stop the beat

from the musical hairspray impressed the judges so much they have been fast—tracked to the semifinals after david walliams hit the coveted golden buzzer. i feel proud of myself and all the gold confetti coming down, so that was good. i feel like on stage, shaking, and i am going to have - goose bumps on my arms. you want to have that opportunity, you want to make sure that you are breaking down these barriers and you want to shine out there with a learning disability. born to perform will now feature in the itv show�*s live semifinals at the end of may. this inclusive dance school only formed a little over two years ago, but on this evidence, they are onlyjust getting started. can you imagine? that was kris holland reporting. alice is one of the dancers from born to perform. hello! it is overwhelming when you

for more than 100 years. and membership across the uk is currently booming. helen mulroy is at flitwick scout group in bedfordshire. they are very busy, we are on a breakfast but now we need breakfast! i have already had my bacon sandwich and it was very delicious. i am waiting for a side order of beans later that scouting is on the increase. cooking isjust one later that scouting is on the increase. cooking is just one of the many practical skills that scouting helps young people to learn and more and more young people are taking that opportunity to learn through scouting, up 16% in the last year. that is the fastest rise at really in membership since world war ii. this is what we have been having, that abusive bread, eggs, bacon,

sausages. —— little bits of bread. this wigwam has really progressed to more of a tp, we are thinking later they will be growing runner beans at they will be growing runner beans at the side or something, but all of this is learning, physical dexterity, motorskills this is learning, physical dexterity, motor skills and beginning of engineering for young people with beavers here, cards and then going to scouts, so it is learning through the ages. people lost it in the pandemic and now it is back with a vengeance. there are 420,000 scouts in the uk, some of them here. more beavers, more cut carbs. we have water rockets here. —— more cubs. we have had quite a few of these that go off this morning oh! it is a glorious morning

and thejoys of morning oh! it is a glorious morning and the joys of getting outdoors, 420,000 scouts across the uk, it is really popular, fastest rising rate since world war ii but there is a waiting list of 90,000 across the uk, so they are encouraging more people tojoin and uk, so they are encouraging more people to join and more people are wanting tojoin all the people to join and more people are wanting to join all the time, having that lockdown with the pandemic and not being able to get out, more and more people wanting to learn and join in and make friends and get outdoors through scouting, but the issue here being they need more volunteers, not really enough volunteers, not really enough volunteers, and that is where they have these waiting lists for these at scout groups, but as you can see, lots and lots going on today. very busy. get some more water rockets going on, but a lovely time and having a nice time in the outdoors, so i think hopefully, i am not sure we will get this want to take off before you leave us, but everybody here keeping very busy and all sorts

of physical activities for people to get involved with with scouting. there is always time to wait for a water rockets to go off at. here we go. water rockets to go off at. here we a 0. ., ., " water rockets to go off at. here we go-_ pumping - water rockets to go off at. here we go-_ pumping that - water rockets to go off at. here we i go._ pumping that water go. look at this. pumping that water in. no pressure. _ go. look at this. pumping that water in. no pressure. yes! _ go. look at this. pumping that water in. no pressure. yes! i— go. look at this. pumping that water in. no pressure. yes! i knew- go. look at this. pumping that water in. no pressure. yes! i knew that. in. no pressure. yes! i knew that was coming and... in. no pressure. yes! i knew that was coming and. . ._ in. no pressure. yes! i knew that was coming and... success, finally! you cannot — was coming and... success, finally! you cannot be _ was coming and... success, finally! you cannot be on _ was coming and... success, finally! you cannot be on it _ was coming and... success, finally! you cannot be on it breakfast i you cannot be on it breakfast reporting stuff like this and not tell us reporting stuff like this and not tell u- . , ., reporting stuff like this and not tell u- ., i. ., ., reporting stuff like this and not tellu ., ., ., | reporting stuff like this and not tell u- ., , ., ., ., i have tell us what you have learnt. i have learnt not tell us what you have learnt. i have learnt rrot to _ tell us what you have learnt. i have learnt not to stand _ tell us what you have learnt. i have learnt not to stand too _ tell us what you have learnt. i have learnt not to stand too close i tell us what you have learnt. i have learnt not to stand too close to i tell us what you have learnt. i have learnt not to stand too close to the j learnt not to stand too close to the water rockets. to be honest, we did a couple of runs through this before and i have quite wet trousers but i do not think i was in the scouts and i was in the rainbows and remember the parachute game and we will have

good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. our headlines today. neil parish, the conservative mp accused of watching pornography in the commons, rejects calls to resign — saying he only will stand down if an inquiry finds him guilty. of course it's embarrassing and it's embarrassing for my wife and family. and so that's my main concern at the moment. good morning. boris becker spends his first night in jail after being sentenced to two and a half years for hiding assets to avoid paying debts.

the tennis star will serve half that time out on licence. the families of two british men volunteering in ukraine who have been captured by the russian military plead for their safe return. i cannot cope with it. i have not ate. i cannot sleep. cloudy, breezy, with rain for scotland and northern ireland. all th weather details coming up shortly. and we'll keep an eye on these guys — the first ospreys to breed on britain's south coast in 200 years. it's saturday the 30th of april. a conservative mp accused of watching pornography in the house of commons has rejected calls to resign immediately —

but said he will stand down if found guilty. neil parish, who's been suspended by the conservatives, has referred himself to the parliamentary commissioner for standards — and suggested he may have viewed the material by mistake. here's our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart. neil parish, the mp for tiverton and honiton in devon and chair of a parliamentary committee. we now know he is the mp accused of watching pornography on their phone in the commons chamber. after being suspended by the conservative party, he addressed assembled journalists outside his home. of course it's embarrassing, and it's embarrassing for my wife and family, and so that's my main concern at the moment. i have a supportive wife, and i thank her for that. was it a mistake? i will await the findings of the inquiry. i am talking about — did you open something by error in the commons? i did, but let the

inquiry look at that. he is now facing two potential parliamentary investigations and says he will step down if found guilty. his constituents reacted to the news. it surprises me, but who knows these days? i mean, one hears all sorts of things about all sorts of mps, and you just don't know what the truth is. horrified, it's horrific. who in their right mind would think that was sensible or even 0k? it'sjust ridiculous. if he has been accused, they have to find proof, really. so, you know, if they find good proof then i don't know how they will deal with it. conservative mps defended neil parish's character. i am very shocked myself. i know neil very well. he is a good friend, a good man and a cracking good mp. and he has done the right thing,

of course, in referring this to the parliamentary standards commissioner. and we will all have confidence in her, in kathryn stone, to look into this thoroughly and advise us as to what should happen next. but does an incident like this paint all parliamentarians in a bad light? one fellow mp believes so. all these sorts of stories bring politicians, particularly politicians, into disrepute. there are a few who maybe shouldn't be there, but the majority of members of parliament of all sides work incredibly hard for their constituents. there are questions now about the political future of neil parish, and the culture in westminster remains in the spotlight. our political correspondent nick eardley is in our london newsroom. nick, how will this investigation work? neil parish remains an mp.

he is also the chair of a committee, the environment committee in parliament. there could be two investigations. one from the parliamentary standards commissioner, the other from the independent grievance and complaints service. he may have to apologise to parliament, he may even be suspended from parliament. those processes can take a while. it is not completely clear how quickly this is going to be sorted out. some mps say neil parish cannot do hisjob properly. other saying he should stand down from the

committee. others are saying he should stand down. a safeguarding minister has said that there needs to be due processes. quite how long that will take, we are not quite sure. i know he will be following that closely. thank you. —— i know you will be following that. the three—times wimbledon champion boris becker has spent his first night in prison after he was sentenced to two and a half years for hiding assets to avoid paying debts. mike's here with more on this. in 1985 he burst onto the scene, as a i7—year—old, youngest men's singles champion at wimbledon. and then six grand slam titles. fame and fortune. that is why it is so hard fortune. that is why it is so hard for fans and pundits and people who

knew him, to think, for this household name, who are into £38 million during his sporting career, how he has gone from that, to bankruptcy in 2017, and then breaking uk insolvency laws, hiding assets to avoid paying debts, which is why he has been sentenced to two and a half years, so that's to be served on licence. earlier, a commentator give us his thoughts on what he thought had gone wrong. at what he thought had gone wrong. git 17 he was a boy in a man's body. he had such extraordinary fame throughout his entire adult life. even before that, the transitional period. i do not think he really grew up, could really handle the situation that he was in. he was raking it in for so many years. he just carried on living life like that. when the bills came in, he

just hit as head in the sand, probably, and just carried on. boris probably, and 'ust carried on. boris himself tow — probably, and just carried on. boris himself told the _ probably, and just carried on. boris himself told the court _ probably, and just carried on. boris himself told the court he _ probably, and just carried on. boris himself told the court he had a lot of outgoings. an expensive divorce in 2001. child maintenance. recently, £22,000 per month in rent for a house in wimbledon. he had had a warning in a previous case, they were seeing, get your affairs in order. and suggestions he did not heed that warning. that is what the judge said. she said, you did not heed the warning you were given, in 2002, the chance given then by a suspended sentence. now it is a case of how he reflects during his time injail. a former player, annabel croft, who has koko did with boris becker thinks he will cope, —— who has commentated with

boris becker. she thinks he can come backin boris becker. she thinks he can come back in some way, perhaps as a coach, as a pundit. for now, it is a time for reflection, and for people to realise, he has been sentenced for breaking these laws. the mother of a british man who was volunteering in ukraine, who's thought to have been captured by russian forces in the country, has pleaded for him to be released. paul urey went missing, along with fellow briton dylan healey, after they tried to rescue a family from a village near the city of zaporizhzhia. tim muffett has the latest developments. dylan healy and paul urey — in ukraine to provide humanitarian assistance but now captured by the russian military, according to a british aid organisation. it is thought they were stopped at a checkpoint as they tried to help a mother and her children

leave a village near zaporizhzhia. at her home near preston, paul urey�*s mother explained why, against her wishes, her son had decided to go to ukraine. he said, "i can't sit there, mum, and watch people dying. "because they're hungry, they're scared." he said, "i've seen people where they're ducking every time "there's a noise." he said, "i can't live with myself." i said, "but, what about me? "what about your family? " paul urey is in his mid—40s and diabetic. his mum had this message for whoever is holding him. please give him back. he's a family man. he's my carer, he helps me. and he's been gone two weeks now — a week they've had him. imiss him. i can't cope with it. i've not ate, i can't sleep.

dylan healy was driving the car at the time of the men's capture, according to a british aid organisation. he is described as a trained chef, originally from huntingdon in cambridgeshire. in the ukrainian capital, kyiv, the clearing up after russian missile strikes continues, one of which killed a ukrainian journalist working for the american broadcaster radio liberty. in mariupol, the besieged port city, explosions can still be heard. much of the fighting here has stopped, but there are vivid reminders of how intense it was. in virginia, an emotional us defence department spokesman accused vladimir putin of brutality and depravity. it's difficult to look at the... sorry. it's difficult to look at some

of the images and imagine that any well—thinking, serious, mature leader would do that. so i can't talk to his psychology, but i think we can all speak to his depravity. for 91 ukrainian refugees, a new beginning. in the village of hartley, near dartford in kent, host families met the people who will be sharing their homes. nadia says her son was so traumatised by the war, he would hide in a wardrobe. she knew they had to try and leave the country. some of my documents, and we were quickly running, very quickly, because it was terrible. they feel very far away from home now, and ultimately all of these people, theyjust want to be at home. a warm welcome to a new, unfamiliar

country where a new chapter awaits. tim muffett, bbc news. let's speak now to our correspondent in kyiv, joe inwood. joe, president zelensky has said he's still willing to hold peace talks with russia. we should not be surprised about that. there are a couple of red lines. one is killing off defenders in mariupol. the other is giving up territory. but it is worth reflecting on the possible outcomes of talks and what they could achieve. at the moment, very little. russia, for its part, says it wants to take over a large swathe of ukrainian territory and hold onto it for good. ukraine says it wants not

only all the territory back from this conflict, but territory that russia took in 2014, including the crimea peninsula. there is no common ground there. no immediate prospect of peace talks bringing something about. the other way at the fanatic solution would come about is if one site was overwhelmingly defeated militarily. given that russia is still mobilising forces, and that the ukrainians are receiving ever increasing amounts of aid from the west, from nato countries, i do not think any site thinks it's game is “p think any site thinks it's game is up yet, therefore they will continue fighting, ratherthan up yet, therefore they will continue fighting, rather than come to what would be a humiliating negotiated settlement. i do not think peace talks are realistically going to be coming about any time soon. before we get your weekend weather forecast from louise, let's see how it's looking in dorset.

this is a view we'll be checking on throughout the morning. it shows a man—made nest in poole, where a pair of ospreys are — hopefully — about to become parents. they were supposed to nest in another nest, this is a man—made nest. if you are concerned about the camera shot, there is a lack of headroom, because the pair of ospreys were meeting on the camera, and knocked to the camera, i am sure that can be connected at some point. too much information, maybe. a lot of sunshine. this is the

latest radar. you can see where the rain is at the moment, sitting across northern ireland and the far north of scotland. for most of us it will be a pleasant start to the bank holiday weekend. we keep the sunshine across england and wales. light winds, a change in direction, it means we will not see that stubborn cloud coming in off the north sea. more of a breeze in the far north—west as the rain comes in. some of that rain turning heavy along west facing coast, it will push steadily eastwards through the afternoon. elsewhere, in the sunshine, temperatures will recover. warmer than yesterday. underneath the cloud and the rain, 8—11 c. that rain goes steadily south and east. a change of fortunes tomorrow. cloudy and damp across england and wales. brighterfurther north.

covid cases have fallen by around a quarter. that 5 according to the latest figures from the office for national statistics. nearly three million people in the uk had the virus in the week ending april 23rd, which is the most recent set of data. that's 24 per cent down from the previous week, when the number of cases was closer to four million. the latest figures also showed around one in 23 people were infected with covid, down from one—in—17 the week before. lets speak now to professor linda bauld and dr chris smith who can answer some of your questions. is this, on the face is this, on the face of is this, on the face of it, is this, on the face of it, good is this, on the face of it, good news? it [51mm is this, on the face of it, good news? . . , [51mm is this, on the face of it, good news? . . , , mm is this, on the face of it, good news? . ., , , mm is this, on the face of it, good news? . ., , , , mm is this, on the face of it, good news? . ., , , , news? it certainly is good news. it is what we were hoping for. - news? it certainly is good news. it is what we were hoping for. if you | is what we were hoping for. if you think of this type of covid that we have now, denmark at this ahead of

us, they saw a big dramatic rise, and a big dramatic fall, that seems to be what we are seeing now. because their testing regimes have changed across the uk quite dramatically, we need to rely more on these population surveys, like ons. there seems to be a genuine drop from the last period, one in 17, one in 19, now down to one in 23, one and 25, in scotland and england. i hope this downward trend will continue. chris, what has driven this? is this the trajectory? both you and linda have had to be cautious, not let go of basic social distancing, when we can, but is this trajectory something we can take faith then? i think it is. we have a number of lines _ think it is. we have a number of lines of— think it is. we have a number of lines of evidence. we have got both intuition. _ lines of evidence. we have got both

decisions will be taken, we know the datasets that our colleagues are looking at. we have seen a good roll—out of that additional booster for people who are more vulnerable, people over the age of 75, also who are immunocompromised, immunosuppressed, good progress across the uk, not as good take up is the first booster. that will continue. not ill —— not all eligible people had that yet. the joint committee on vaccination is looking continuously at the data. these vaccines are approved for use as boosters, in theory we could have another round of this towards the water. the reason for that would be, that we do see waning after several months in those different datasets across the uk, and internationally. i think that is probably likely. we have not heard any discussion of extending to younger age groups at the moment. the second thing, we are always scanning for variance. in south africa at the moment, another

countries. concerns are growing. linda, can you allay some of those concerns? ., ., , ., concerns? there are lots of questions _ concerns? there are lots of questions. of— concerns? there are lots of questions. of course - concerns? there are lots of| questions. of course people concerns? there are lots of- questions. of course people are worried. if you want to see more information, the uk health security agency did release a report in the last couple of days. also, a press release for advice which is helpful. a number of different things. we do not know the cause of this. normally hepatitis, the hepatitis we're used to dealing with, 80% of cases that we see in the uk we can identify the cause. we do not always know the cause. we do not always know the cause. lines of that scientists are looking at, as this potentially caused by viruses that cause the common cold, and the children that are picking up, or are presenting with hepatitis, who are normally mostly under the age of ten, they

have gastrointestinal symptoms, nausea, diarrhoea, it can progress to jaundice. parents are worried, though some things need to look for, children and well, particularly do the whites of the eyes begin to become a little bit yellow. that is very rare. scientists are at hypotheses. this is something different about those children and their immune systems? tiny number of children who have had a transplant in different countries. that can be looked at, and trying to map the reason. just to emphasise, it is rare, but if parents are worried, nausea, diarrhoea, particularly jaundice, to speak to your gp, there is help and advice available. and at the suggestion that children have not necessarily been able to go out and mix with others, and maybe pick up a lower level of the virus, is a potentially an immune response there, that has not been exposed for

thank you. sport is coming up. hello, this is breakfast with

naga munchetty and ben thompson. it is at 9:30am. now to ukraine. no running water, daily shelling and a constant fear of what's coming next. that's the grim reality for residents of the ukrainian city of mykolaiv, which stands between the russian army and odesa, on the black sea coast. while many people have fled, others have stayed, often to help the war effort or care for the sick. caroline davies went to meet them. birdsong in mykolaiv. spring has arrived, but there is little sign of a new beginning. so, we are in the south of the city at the moment with the bomb disposal unit. they are following up on reports that they have had of multiple rockets that have landed and then checking to see if they can make the area safe. through a suburban front yard into what remains of this sitting room, a rocket hit the home two days ago. translation: there was a strong explosion. - and when a rocket fell here, there was a massive shock wave. books, my things,

everything is damaged. i will clean the next—door room and we will stay there. the unit move from home to home, removing a rocket from a front room and a section of an unexploded bomb from a driveway. the city is less than 20 miles from the front line and has been heavily shelled since the beginning of the war. translation: it is difficult, there are lots of requests. i we might clear a certain district, but then it is shelled again the next day, so we have to return. that can happen day after day that we are working to clear the same places. this children's hospital was hit a little over three weeks ago. translation: it was very frightening. - it was very serious. we lost many windows. luckily neither hospital employees nor patients were injured. at the moment, we have got used to the situation and it is scary. you do not know what comes tomorrow, what comes within an hour, what may happen to your relatives, to your patients. in the premature babies ward, care continues. the windows have been blocked and the unit have relocated into the centre of the building.

since shelling usually involves cluster bombs, having two involves cluster bombs, having two wards for protection is important. the children are in special boxes protected from light and noises. we cannot evacuate children who need artificial ventilation. we cannot close the department because there are other children who may need our help. dotted around the city, people queue to refill their bottles at tankers or at natural springs. mykolaiv has been without running water since the supply was cut off after russian shelling more than two weeks ago. now even the fire brigade have to find new ways to refill. here it is our bathroom. no water too. it is horrible, i like to have a shower every day but it is impossible now. grandmother tatiana has decided to stay in the city, despite the constant shelling and lack of water. it is not easy, but what can we do? i tried to join the army, but they said that number one reason why we will not take you, you are a little bit too old,

and another problem, you are nearly blind. so i said, "maybe i'm nearly blind, but i can smell a russian tank, ok?" i am not going to leave anyway. i will stay here. if it will be necessary, if russians will come here, of course i will fight, of course. after months of living on the edge of battle, mykolaiv has found a way to continue, but the constant threat from russia sits just over the horizon. caroline davies, bbc news, mykolaiv. it is just approaching 25 to ten. six time grand slam winner, three—time wimbledon winner, youngest ever wimbledon winner, of course we are talking about the legendary tennis player boris becker, to be clearjust to correct a mistake i made earlier. he becker, to be clearjust to correct a mistake i made earlier.- becker, to be clearjust to correct a mistake i made earlier. he is one of tennis's — a mistake i made earlier. he is one of tennis's all-time _ a mistake i made earlier. he is one of tennis's all-time greats, - a mistake i made earlier. he is one of tennis's all-time greats, 1985 i of tennis's all—time greats, 1985 when he shot to world fame, making

history as the youngest player to win the men's singles title at wimbledon. it is hard to recall a more dramatic fall from grace, to think he won £38 million through his career to bankruptcy in 2017 and thenit career to bankruptcy in 2017 and then it breaking uk insolvency laws which is why he now finds himself in a jail. which is why he now finds himself in ajail. his which is why he now finds himself in a jail. his own at qc, barrister, told the court it amounts to public humiliation. there is nothing to show it for what was the most glittering of sporting careers, he said to the court. that is correctly termed as nothing short of a tragedy. legendary tennis player boris becker has spent his first night in jail, after being sentenced to two and a half years. the former wimbledon champion becker was convicted of hiding £2.5 million worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts when he was declared bankrupt in 2017. judge deborah taylor said he had shown no remorse or acceptance of guilt.

onto football, we are getting closer to finding out what the future holds for chelsea football club. bbc sport now understands that a consortium, led by la dodgers owner todd boehly, is set to be named the preferred bidder to takeover the club. it had been put up for sale before owner roman abramovich was "sanctioned" for his alleged links to russian president vladimir putin following the invasion of ukraine. it's still all to play for in the semifinals at the world snooker championships in sheffield. judd trump had dominated the opening session of his semi until three—time champion mark williams pulled off an extraordinary comeback in the evening, to cut the deficit in their semifinal to 13 frames to 11. in the other semifinal, the world number one ronnie o'sullivan does now have a 10—6 lead overjohn higgins. it had been a really close start after the opening session. but o'sullivan made five half centuries to break away. they'll be back in action later this morning live on the bbc. 25 minutes or so.

history will be made at madison square gardens, as the first all—female headline bout takes centre stage at the new york venue, later tonight. the undefeated katie taylor of ireland, and puerto rico's amanda serrano, will face off in what's been billed as the biggest fight in women's boxing. it will be the sixth time taylor has put her belts on the line since winning them injune 2019. the enormity of the occasion shows just how far female boxing has come, and taylor say�*s she proud to have played a part in that. i think serrano and i definitely will be the best night of my career. there is definitely something different about this fight. this is a moment in history and yes, ever since the fight has been announced a few months ago, i can feel the excitement, you can feel the buzz from people and this is one of the most iconic moments of boxing as a whole. so yes, i think a win on saturday will rank as the best. it was a big night in rugby league, as leeds rhinos managed a second win

in a row for the first time this season, ending hull kr's six—match winning streak at headingley. meanwhile, wigan are now level on points with super league leaders st helens, after victory at warrington. ethan havard crashed over with their final try to win 40 points to 22. it leaves warrington seventh in the table. elsewhere, st helens beat salford to stay top of the league thanks to a greater points difference. in rugby union, it was all about a last minute mammoth kick in the english premiership last night. harlequins were leading northampton saints 31—29 going into the last four minutes, but a penalty from the ice cool james grayson from nearly as far out as the halfway line ensured that saints came away with a 32—31win. it means that they are in a great position now to reach the play—offs. it's the final day of the women's six nations, and france versus england is the grand slam decider. the two teams have been way ahead of their rivals, and so now it's winner takes all in bayonne in the south of france.

we can cross there now and join our reporterjoe currie, who's with a six nations winner. iam indeed, good morning everyone and welcome at a relatively quiet stadium at the moment here in the south of france, do not be fooled though because later on this place will be rocking with a sell—out crowd and i have been kindlyjoined this morning by world cup winner rachael burford. the title will all come down to this game, just give me an idea, with england in particular, the wonderfulform that an idea, with england in particular, the wonderful form that they are in general. the wonderful form that they are in ueneral. . , ., ., general. incredible form at the moment. _ general. incredible form at the moment. 22 — general. incredible form at the moment, 22 consecutive i general. incredible form at the moment, 22 consecutive wins, j general. incredible form at the i moment, 22 consecutive wins, going for a 23rd _ moment, 22 consecutive wins, going for a 23rd. throughout the competition they have been building, towards _ competition they have been building, towards the end going for their fourth — towards the end going for their fourth consecutive grand slam title, it is also _ fourth consecutive grand slam title, it is also playful and what a brilliant _ it is also playful and what a brilliant place to come and play france, — brilliant place to come and play france, one of the best places to play rugby— france, one of the best places to play rugby in. france, one of the best places to play rugby im— france, one of the best places to play rugby in. you look at those it starts and you _ play rugby in. you look at those it starts and you think _ play rugby in. you look at those it starts and you think it _ play rugby in. you look at those it starts and you think it might i play rugby in. you look at those it starts and you think it might be i play rugby in. you look at those it starts and you think it might be a | starts and you think it might be a walkover, but france are third in the world and this will be their

comes notjust with tennis but any sport you are playing. an adult world of agents, sponsors, being bombarded on you at a young age and it is a lot to take in. she does go on to say he thinks —— she thinks he will be reflecting a lot that he will be reflecting a lot that he will cope because he is good at making friends and he will maybe come back as a coach or punditry again. and someone else who knows him well, the ghost author of his book boris becker's wimbledon said whenever he talked to boris becker herewith got the impression that deep down, boris always felt somehow, with the money, the divorce bill, the rent, 22,000 a month for his house in wimbledon, somehow he would be ok. and finally, he says that attitude has caught up with him. mike, thank you very much. it is coming up to quarter to ten. good morning to you. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather.

yes, another bank holiday weekend, we have onlyjust got rid of easter. this is the kind of weather we would like. it is the kind of weather that a lot of us have got but not all. this is lincolnshire and in one or two of those places where we have seen that a stubborn low grey cloud coming in off the north sea, so i'm sure this is a certainly welcome news. different story further west where we have a light rain at pushing into northern ireland and that will pep up over the next few hours so cloudy skies here and north and west will see the worst of the weather today. and west will see the worst of the weathertoday. breezy, and west will see the worst of the weather today. breezy, wet at times and is notably cooler, particularly in comparison it yesterday when you had blue sky and sunshine. here is the rain into northern ireland. valley light and patchy at the moment across scotland but we are expecting it to really gather in intensity and drift steadily east through the day. we might see some cloud pushing into the lake district and isle of man, may be some rain by the end of the afternoon as well. further south, we keep that sunshine going and with light winds it will be pleasantly warm. in areas that

yesterday that did not see that cloud breaking up, east anglia, parts of essex and kent, it will feel a notice be different, so 17 degrees quite likely with the sunshine. cool up with the cloud and rain but that cloud and rain will start to sink its way south and east. quite a lot of cloud across england and wales throughout the night so that will prevent those temperatures falling too far. it needs a relatively mild start to sunday but relatively great, so it will change tomorrow. proudly without pay to rain, some heavy across wales but it will be a cloudy damp affair the morning but it also allows a bright sunny spells to develop across scotland and northern ireland. still at risk of scattered showers into northern ireland, but in the sunshine we could see temperatures recover back to 70 degrees in scotland. here is where we are likely to be height values. --17 we are likely to be height values. —— 17 degrees. into monday, a lot of
