engaging with science. we have our very own megalodon expert in the studio and he also has the weather, tomasz schafernaker. i don't know about expert but anyone that knows me well knows i'm obsessed with sharks and very jealous or envious of that find, i should say. too cold to go into the water for most of us all the temperatures are set to rise over the coming week. overall the picture looks unsettled and it is today in the north with the rain, this is this week's rainfall across the uk. you will notice bright colours in the western isles of scotland and western mainland scotland, quite a lot of rain to come with the weather systems piling on from the atlantic. it is a rather large area of low pressure to the north—west of our neighbourhood. here are the weather fronts, cloud and rain, breeze across northern ireland, scotland, the rain will reach the lake district, the irish sea coasts,

wales as well later on in the afternoon. but further east and south it will stay dry but this skies will turn hazy. notice of the wind arrows pointing from the south and so are relatively warm direction for much of eastern and central england, temperatures up to around 22 degrees, but out in the north—west with that atlantic weather front we have fresh atlantic air and temperatures much lower. worth noting the pollen levels are high in the south, moderate elsewhere across the uk. the forecast for this evening and overnight, the weather front moves across the country, tending to rain in its self out a little bit across the rest of the country. but i think behind it the fresher air filters in an 8—9 early in the morning for edinburgh and aberdeen, in the south of the country the mid—teens, slightly warmer air with us. here is the weather map for tuesday. the large area of low pressure across the uk, the high pressure is to the south, the good weather is to the south, the good weather is to the south, and we are still in the

relatively blustery unsettled spell of weather. not a bad day tomorrow, frequently sunny spells, but the strong gusty wind whipping about the trees will bring showers and a fresh day for glasgow, 14 degrees. still in the milder south—westerly is, possibly up to 20 or so in london. tuesday night into wednesday, the low stilt of the north around the northern isles, weatherfronts crossing the country. we anticipate some rain across southern and central parts of england on wednesday but this weather front could be a little to the north or further to the south. still some degree of uncertainty as to how much rain it will bring but the broad messages further south some cloud and rain and further north it will be bright and fresh with further showers and more of that breeze. a changeable week for some of us but it's expected to warm up as we head into the weekend, just about woman for a dip in the sea at some point! let's hope so. thank you very much. a reminder of our top story.

ata at a major address in moscow vladimir putin claims his invasion of ukraine was to protect russia and that nato and the west have been preparing to invade russian lands. translation:— translation: nato began active military development _ translation: nato began active military development of - translation: nato began active military development of the - military development of the territory is adjacent to ours. this was an absolutely unacceptable threat, systematically created for us and write on our borders. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, real mist bag i think the way for some of us in the coming days. good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. despite being closer than ever to his fourth premier league title in five years, manchester city boss pep guardiola feels everyone is on liverpool's

side in the title race. they hammered newcasle united 5—0 yesterday to move back to the top of the table. and need seven points from their three remaining games to be crowned champions. however, guardiola told journalists he felt everyone supports liverpool, the media and everyone. city are ahead in goal difference too now — which he also admitted could be important in these final games. the margin for liverpool are so tight so anything can happen. and we didn't play the second half to score goals. you know, they have a good chance. of course, goal difference, in that stage, what happens is important. and some movement at the bottom of the league two in the battle to avoid relegation. another big win for everton who came from behind to win at leicester.

their 2—1 victory moves them out of the bottom three. they've moved into 16th and have a game in hand over all the teams below them. we should enjoy results like that because they're huge and that's what we're in football for. it's ups and downs at times. but straight away, by the time we get home tonight, we have to move our minds on to watford and the games that are coming. we're by no means safe, far from being safe at the moment, and that's in our hands. so we have to get straight back down to earth and focus on wednesday. chelsea's supporters club is calling for the ban on fans purchasing tickets at stamford bridge to be lifted. ahead of the final two home games this season. on friday, billionaire businessman ted boehly and his consortium signed an agreement to buy the blues in a deal reportedly worth around £4.25 billion. fans can buy tickets to the fa cup final at wembley this weekend — but not for the club's final premier league games at home against leicester city and watford. in a statement, the supporters club said: given the significant change

in circumstances reflected in the ownership announcement, the chelsea supporters' trust board calls on the dcms to immediately amend the special licence, and for tickets to chelsea's last two home games this season to be sold by the club to members. supporters must not be punished. celtic will have to wait a little longer before being named scottish champions after rivals rangers beat dundee united at the weekend. afterjames tavernier�*s penalty, on—loan manchester united winger amad diallo made it 2—0 with 12 minutes remaining. dundee united are celtic�*s next opponents on wednesday night, and a draw would be enough for them to seal the title at tannadice. sale sharks director of rugby alex sanderson says the reduction in the premiership salary cap is making it harder for english teams to compete with french sides in europe. it comes after they were defeated 41—22 by racing 92 yesterday

in the champions cup semi—finals. the premiership salary cap was cut by eu; million to £5 million at the start of 2021—22, compared to £8.5 million in the top 14. max verstappen closed the gap to formula one championship leader charles leclerc to 19 points by winning the first miami grand prix. the world champion started from third on the grid, but overtook the ferraris of carlos sainz and leclerc to lead the race from the start of the ninth lap. verstappen was heading towards a comfortable victory until britain's lando norris crashed and the safety car took away his advantage. he held off his rival over the remaining laps to take the chequered flag to become the first driver to win back to back races this season. george russell finished fifth a place ahead of his mercedes team mate lewis hamilton. that's all the sport for now.

the defence secretary, ben wallace, has delivered a speech on ukraine this morning accusing president putin and his inner circle of "mirroring" the "fascism and tyranny" of nazi germany. this morning, vladimir putin used russia's annual victory day parade to accuse nato of creating threats at russia's borders. mr wallace said "there can be no victory day, only dishonour and surely defeat in ukraine." let's hear more of what mr wallace had to say. if through the invasion of ukraine, putin, his inner circle and his generals are now mirroring fascism and tyranny of 77 years ago. repeating the errors of the last century's totalitarian regimes. they're showing the same disregard of human life, national sovereignty and the rules—based international system. the very system not least the united nations charter itself that we conceived together, and for which we fought and were victorious together,

and hope of saving future generations from the scourge of war. they're unprovoked, illegal, senseless and self—defeating invasion of ukraine, their attacks against innocent civilians and their homes. their widespread atrocities including the deliberate targeting of women and children, they all corrupt the memory of past sacrifices and russia's once proud global reputation. the response to this study by the russian forces on the ground in ukraine has in itself been a disgraceful display of self—preservation, doubling down on failure, anger, dishonesty and scapegoating. the behaviour of the russian general staff has shown that their own self—preservation comes first. war crimes, targeting civilians and the casualty rates in their own groups are all secondary concerns. a the central ukrainian city of dnipro has become a vital hub in the war, with aid supplies arriving

from the west and refugees from the east of ukraine looking for a place of safety. despite an attempt to continue with daily life, recent missile strikes are a constant reminder that the war is never far away. the bbc�*s chief international correspondent lyse doucet sent this report. in the heat of battle, ironclad commitment on the home front. they're making plates for body armour in this furnace. he calls himself talisman. celebrity, blacksmith, artist, activist and entertainer. now, his prehistoric techniques and cutting—edge technology help defend ukraine. even periscopes for trenches. translation: everybody is playing their part to achieve victory - as soon as possible. what's happening in ukraine,

in mariupol, in donbas, is horrific. it's very painful. no—one can see that and do nothing. there's a big aid effort too. dnipro is a first stop for families fleeing russia's growing onslaught to the east. on this street alone, a queue for cash handouts and hygiene kits. and a shelter. a safe space for kids to be kids. anna just arrived last night. she lost her mother to illness, her home to war. at a loss for words. then this... just when you're in a place where they're trying to forget the war, we've just heard that there's been a missile that's landed close by. the air raid sirens have sounded, so like everyone else here, including the children, we're going to the bomb shelter.

there's no escape for anna. two days before, russia's cruise missiles slammed into this bridge and a railway facility, shattering weeks of quiet here, several hours' drive from the main front lines. at moments, you might even forget there's a war. not for long. many who move here quickly move on. they wait for the night train heading west. some with only the clothes they wear, the memories they carry of lives left behind in eastern ukraine. translation: | had to leave my| province because of the bombing. it was really scary. when everything is whizzing by and you're in a basement. we didn't want to leave. we had to do it because of my daughter. i left my town to protect my daughter's life. the train arrives from the east,

now the poorest and weakest pushed out by war. so many people on the move. some arriving here in dnipro, others moving on. none of them know what's been left behind now in their homes in eastern ukraine, none of them sure what lies ahead. on the city's edge, a testament to loss. flags mark every new grave in russia's war. new graves already dug for what's still to come. volodymyr, on leave from the front line, searching for gennady. "hello, my dear," he tells him. "we saw each other in barvinkove last time. how could this happen?" they built homes together,

went into battle together, were separated. translation: it's scary there. it's scary here. no—one knows this. i don't want my two daughters to see this. a grievous war many thought could never happen. now no—one knows when and how it can ever end. lyse doucet, bbc news, dnipro. the leader of the democratic unionist party has told the northern ireland secretary that his party will not nominate ministers to the stormont power—sharing executive without �*decisive action�* on the northern ireland protocol. sinn fein emerged as the largest party in the devolved government for the first time after thursday's election, which means they are entitled to the role

of first minister, but that depends on the dup nominating a deputy first minister. jeffrey donaldson says his party won't do so unless post brexit trading arrangements are addressed. we have had a meeting this morning with the secretary of state and we've our position clear to him. and it is the position we have held before the election, throughout the election campaign, and will continue to hold. and that is until we get decisive action, taken by the uk government, on the protocol, we will not be nominating ministers to the executive. we want to see stable political institutions, we want to be part of the executive. we want to play our part and fulfil the mandate we have been given by the people of northern ireland. but we have also clear, given the damaging and harmful impact of the protocol, continue to have a northern ireland, driving up the cost of living, harming our economy, impeding our ability of businesses trade with

their biggest market in great britain and fundamentally, undermining political stability, undermining political stability, undermining the principle of consensus politics which is at the heart of our political institutions, we need this to be resolved. when we re—entered the executive back at the beginning of 2020, we did this on the basis of a clear commitment by the basis of a clear commitment by the uk government, under the new decade new approach agreement, to address and protect our ability to trade with the rest of the united kingdom. to protect ourface in the uk internal market. that's what we need the government to do. not asking them to do anything that they have not already committed to. they give a firm commitment to protect our place in the uk internal market. they have not done so. they have failed over the last two and a half years to honour that commitment and we made clear to the secretary of state this morning, he honours his commitment, the obligations that they entered into, new decade, new approach, we will not be nominating ministers to the executive.

rishi sunak hinted at more financial help from the government — but he said he couldn't make the problem go away. he's been talking to our correspondent andrew sinclair in ipswich. the dust is settling last week's local elections. elections which were dominated by the cost of living and elections in which the conservatives lost 29 seats across our region, two of them here in ipswich. well, today, the chancellor had been visiting local businesses. a lot of that visit has been in private but we were allowed to see him as he attended an event run by google which is helping firms to get more digitally savvy. and he was shown some of the new ideas being developed by entrepreneurs in the ipswich area. the government has already provided support to help with energy bills and council tax but i put it to the chancellor that the election results suggest people wanting to do more. i the election results suggest people wanting to do more.— wanting to do more. i have always been very clear — wanting to do more. i have always been very clear that _ wanting to do more. i have always been very clear that we _ wanting to do more. i have always been very clear that we stand - wanting to do more. i have always. been very clear that we stand ready to do more as the situation requires

thousands of people in east yorkshire and lincolnshire have experienced flooding in their homes — and know all too well the damage and trauma it causes. but now houses that float above floodwater could soon be a reality — with experts already working on a prototype. here's paul murphy. final lab tests on the house that literally rises above the problem, and experts from hull university have helped to develop it. one in six homes in the uk is subject to flooding, so, yeah, this is relevant to really anyone who is looking at buying a new home. they are generally targeted at the affordable housing market and they are superinnovative. one proposal is to build a demonstration estate of flood proof homes at this low lying site near to boston in lincolnshire. sensors on the street will detect when floodwater gets too high, and raise these lightweight houses by nearly five feet. it was the terrible floods of 2007 that inspired a yorkshire business

to invent the lifting house. friend of mine got terribly flooded out. the idea started coming from there, i'm a builder by trade and i built houses on little jack pads, and the idea of having a screw pad under a house lifting it up started the process, and it has taken basically 12 years to get to today. there is increasing pressure to build more homes in the uk, but we are running out of land to do it on. and so, using flood plains like they are doing here in hull, has become a necessity, and perhaps here is the sort of place where the flood safe home can really come into its own. in our area millions have been spent on flood defences but allowing some land to flood is also necessary. that is where these homes come in. if all trials are successful, work on the flood safe estate is expected to begin by the end of this year. paul murphy, bbc look north.

in london, work is being carried out on a shipwreck in the river thames estuary, which contains unexploded bombs, to make it safer. the ss richard montgomery sank in 1944, but it still has 1,400 tonnes of explosives onboard. its masts are going to be cut back so they're less llikely to fall onto and detonate the cargo below. the site has become an unlikely tourist destination. here's tom edwards. in the middle of the thames estuary, a sunken relic of world war ii. jutting out of the waves, these are the masts of the ss richard montgomery. what is left of the cargo ship has become an unlikely tourist attraction. to get there, we took a tourist boat from southend pier. soon the masts will be removed, so people are coming to see them while they can. it can be a bit choppy. we are taking this opportunity before they remove

the masts, just to see it. it's a piece of history. my friend here said it's going to be gone, so let's take this opportunity to go and see it and come today when it's lovely weather and a nice boat ride! the wreck is in an exclusion zone, although it is not far from the main shipping lane. it also has a potentially dangerous cargo of explosives onboard. if they detonated, it would cause a huge explosion, and experts say perhaps a tidal wave. the ss montgomery sunk in 1944, and there are still 1,400 tonnes of explosives onboard. the dft says this site is safe, but it is deteriorating, now they want to cut the masts so they don't fall into the unexploited munitions below, to try and make this whole site much safer.

these scans of the ship show the state it is in. it has broken in half, and some of the deck is collapsing. scans are carried out every year. experts now say it should be dealt with, but little is known about the state of the explosives. definitely concerned about it. i think over the last 77 years the government has thought to itself, "well, the longer we leave it, the safer it gets." it appears if you talk to experts on explosives that is the opposite of the truth. this tour operator has seen an increase in people wanting to see the masts before they get removed. they have been told it happen injune. it will be a shame to see them go, but obviously everything out here that is being subjected to the winds and waves, it gets to a point where they will collapse, they will end up on the river bed. the government says the wreck is in a relatively stable condition. this unlikely tourist attraction hasn't got long left, although the potentially dangerous cargo will still be onboard on the bed of the estuary. tom edwards, bbc london.

hello. outbreaks of rain particularly in the north. let's see how this week is going to look. well, quite a bit breezy especially northern and western areas. here we will see the wettest of the weather and there could be some rain elsewhere during the middle part of the week. now, you can see from this week's rain fell by the heaviest of the rain will fall across western parts of scotland rather a lot of rain here. frequent bouts of rain coming in of the atlantic and this is the satellite picture from monday, from today you can see one weather system

showers. a fresh day in the north—west of the uk. 11—15. still some of that warmth in east anglia and the south—east. on tuesday night into wednesday we keep seeing low pressure with weather fronts dominating the weather across the uk. in fact, dominating the weather across the uk. infact, this dominating the weather across the uk. in fact, this is where the front could bring some rain to southern and central areas on wednesday though this is somewhat unsettled. this rain could further south, could be for the north but the broad messages more southern areas are likely to catch when a wednesday whereas in the north it is going to be blustery with sunny spells and showers so a real mist bag on the way for some in the coming days.
