where she was walking her dog. her phone was then discovered on a bench next to the water. the body was found downriver about a mile away. an underwater search team and specialist officers went into the water and recovered the body before it was taken away for the identification process to begin. a forensics tent was erected to preserve the scene. there will be a postmortem, and then thereafter there will, of course, be a coroner's inquest. so all the evidence has to be gathered as best and as professionally and as painstakingly as is required in order that the truth, hopefully at some point in the future, can be laid in front of the coroner's court and an inquest can be... and a verdict can be delivered. it's too early to know whether it is nicola who's been found. lancashire police say that herfamily is being kept informed as work's carried out to identify the remains. these aerial pictures show the stretch of riverjust after the bend where

the discovery was made. it is an area which was searched with sonar equipment and divers. but search teams said that some parts of the water were hard to see because of debris. the investigation into nicola bulley�*s disappearance has attracted widespread speculation, and after the police released personal details about her, there's also been a public and political backlash. and at the centre of it all, there's a distressed family who are waiting for news. judith moritz, bbc news, lancashire. let's speak now to our reporter rowan bridge, who's in st michael's on wyre. roman, have lancashire police given any indication of how long this identification is going to take? h0. identification is going to take? no, we're waiting _ identification is going to take? iifr, we're waiting for updates on lancashire police on this as our nikola's friends and for whom the weight continues. paul ansell,

but sadly, the government are more interested in playing politics. the reality is that if public sympathy was enough to win a dispute, we would have won this already. 0ne ambulance service in the north west tightened the definition of what calls it will answer today. however, unions say they will continue to respond to emergencies. elsewhere in the nhs, a ballot of 115,000 junior doctors from the british medical association closes at midday. one of the smaller health unions has today confirmed several hundreds of its junior doctor members will also be striking next month. health secretary steve barclay said the government remains keen to talk to unions about a fair and affordable deal but that strikes are in nobody�*s best interests. peter ruddick, bbc news. to keep up to date with strikes in your area you can visit the bbc news website to see where walk—outs are planned and when. senior police officers across england and wales have warned that a failure to increase pay could lead to cuts in staff and delays to recruitment. a joint statement by the associations of chief

killed tens of thousands of people. caroline davies joins us from adana. good morning, caroline. so, with latest news, what actually now? i think that is the question that most are asking. the rescue efforts have been happening in the last few days and has been reducing, in hatay, one of the two provinces where there are still rescuing operations, there were 200 buildings searched on friday, 98 on saturday, reduced again on sunday. in terms of what happens next, if you drive through cities where many of the rescue teams have left, although there are still some operations are ongoing, things have changed from being rescue efforts trying to dig out carefully from the rubble and instead use the enormous diggers that are trying to get through the

concrete, cement and move it on. there is an enormous amount of damage across turkey and syria. to give you an idea of some of the scale of that, we know that in hatay province alone, there were over 30,000 buildings that collapsed. and of course he rubble needs to be moved, they need to be able to start clearing the streets. in the humanitarian effort as well, for all of those people who have lost their homes and do not feel safe in their buildings, is a key priority.- buildings, is a key priority. thank ou ve buildings, is a key priority. thank you very much. — buildings, is a key priority. thank you very much, caroline. - a tourist has been killed by a shark while swimming off an island in the south pacific ocean. the 59—year—old man, from australia, was around 150 yards from shore at a popular beach in noumea, new caledonia, when he was attacked. it's the third shark attack near the beach in three weeks. the red carpet was rolled out in london last night for the bafta awards. the big winners included the banshees of inisherin,

in the cast and crew were kind of going best what award? but... kerry condon. the film's supporting actors cleaned up, too. in an awkward moment, kerry condon picked up her award after the wrong person was initially announced. barry keoghan! best supporting actor went to her co—star, an actor who spent time in care as a child. also, for the kids that are dreaming to be something from the area that i came from, this is for yous. austin butler won best actor for his hip—swinging beat—perfect turn as elvis. cate blanchett. and cate blanchett joined the all—white acting category winners. her third best actress bafta, this for the film tar. every year, these idiosyncratic remarkable performances just break down the myth that women's experience is monolithic.

a lot of my friends' children are telling them to watch this film. and we could not be happier because we want the younger generation to watch films like this that have such a strong message. all quiet has made bafta history for a film not in the english language. could it now do the same at the oscars next month? katie razzall, bbc news. we are hoping to speak to lesley paterson, one of the people who made that film happen, through fundraising and buying the right, all quiet on the western front, later this morning. the all quiet on the western front, later this morning.— all quiet on the western front, later this morning. the level of determination _ later this morning. the level of determination to _ later this morning. the level of determination to get _ later this morning. the level of determination to get that - later this morning. the level of determination to get that film | later this morning. the level of - determination to get that film made is astonishing, so we hope to talk to her as soon as she is awake! now, have you ever broken something very valuable? why are you asking the question? where do i start? if so, you'll know how an art collector in miami is feeling, after she accidentally knocked over a sculpture worth almost £35,000.

that. it is windy across northern areas, at 70 miles an hour in shetland, it will ease down during the day. the northern half of the country, the strongest winds the greatest chance of rain. rain or drizzle in a few areas of north—west england especially, some edge into north—west wales through the day. north of that lots of sunshine for the far north of scotland, even though it remains a windy, and there will be brighter rates in the north—east england. 1a to 16 degrees in southern areas, eight or nine in the north. a mild night to night, rain or drizzle particularly in the north—west of scotland where he will see heavy bursts into the morning. there will be some changes and i

will keep you up to date. half of england's special educational needs schools are over—subscribed as they struggle to meet growing demand for places, bbc research has found. schools have been forced to convert portable cabins and even cupboards into teaching spaces due to a lack of space. here's our education correspondent elaine dunkley. this is maltby hilltop school in rotherham. like many specialist schools across the country, there is pressure on places. hello! freya! doing some fantastic walking. the classrooms and corridors are cramped and overcrowded as they take on more pupils. ten years ago they had 82 pupils. now they have 134 and there is a waiting list. how much of your time do you spend looking for space? i mean, it's continual. i mean, mentally and physically, i go round the school time and time again to try and find available space.

and this is a case in point. what i'm about to show you, this was a former resource cupboard, but now we have members of the visual impairment therapy team conducting therapy with our children in this space. in a resource cupboard? in a resource cupboard. afternoon! good afternoon. i'm ashamed. as the headteacher of this school, i genuinely do feel it is shameful that this is what we are providing for our children. you know, and also i know it could be so much betterfor them. they deserve so much better. so what is causing pressure on places? there is increasing diagnosis of special educational needs. some mainstream schools are struggling to cope. we're going to watch that tennis game. funding is an issue. local authorities' high—need budgets are tight, and new specialist schools aren't being built quick enough to cope with the rising demand for places.

being able to break out into a space is so important for our kids. so you have a number of children up on the yard enjoying time outside, but then for some young people in crisis, they need access to a break—out space. we don't have those spaces. it's lunchtime and the children eat in classrooms. the dinner hall is now being used for therapy. it's very soon, jack. dinnertime. we're a little bit cramped. we're always a little bit cramped. what's going on? in a small kitchen, sarah is teaching vital life skills for those in sixth form. the lack of space makes it difficult. it's not ideal at all. you can't have more than four or five people in this room, and i have got seven children in my pizza club. and there's four members of staff. what i want for these children, is what i'd want for my own children. this is like my nest. and they are the birds, my little chicks. and i want them to fly, you know, to fly. and i want them to flourish. some pupils have had to leave the school because they can't cope with the overcrowding.

sarah was hoping this day wouldn't come. she's in school to collect her son cohen's belongings. he's no longer able to learn in the noisy, cramped, portacabins and is now at home. i've just seen his tray. this is his tray. cohen's work. it's really sad to see it because this is where he should be. he should be learning and he should be with his friends. he started to have panic attacks, hyperventilating. he wants to be here, but it's the space is not allowing it. it's hard to see him and he's not engaging in anything other than the same monotonous daily routine. make himjump. emma has come to have a look around with daughter georgie. she's faced delays getting an education and health care plan. a legal document outlining the support georgie needs. and now there's more delay as she waits for a school place to become available. it makes me well up, to be honest, because by the time she'll be coming here in september next year, that'll be two years out of education.

so to see her today with the other children and being somewhere where i know she really, really wants to be, it chokes you up. is there enough recognition of what happens in schools like yours? no, because we shut up and get on with it. that's the problem. and we put up with it and we do the best that we can for the good of the kids. but there comes a point, there comes a breaking point. and we are at utter capacity. so something has to be done. in a statement, the government says it's providing £2.6 billion between now and 2025 to help deliver new school places. this is a school which celebrates every success. look at you in the pool, on the trampoline, washing your hands. but this headteacher is worried that far too many children are being failed by the lack of space and resources in specialist schools across england. elaine dunkley, bbc

news, in rotherham. for more on this story you can watch a documentary on bbc iplayer — it's called "send help". let's take a look at some of today's papers. the discovery of a body near to where nicola bulley vanished in lancashire dominates many front pages. the daily mirror has the headline "family's worst fear", as the police identification process is still ongoing. the times also leads on that grim discovery — it features a picture of the spot along the river bank where police were called to yesterday. the guardian leads on an interview with the world health organisation's incoming chief scientist. jeremy farrar tells the paper that health care workers around the world are "absolutely shattered", and that something needs to be done to address a staffing and morale crisis. and if you're still hungry for bafta news, you can go to bbc online. the most watched video this morning

in the uk comes from here. kenya's rift valley. it's a big business, and we've discovered that sexual exploitation is rife. we sent an undercover reporter to pose as a worker. we are calling her katie. it was time for the general public to know what exactly happens in these companies. she goes for a job interview with a notorious manager, john. he's in charge of hundreds of workers on plantations owned by scottish firm james finlay and company. he tells her to follow him into a hotel room where he puts pressure on her to have sex with him. members of the production team were stationed nearby and made a phone call to help her get out. i was so scared and so shocked. it must be really difficult for the women.

james finlay and company says it immediately suspended john and that it has reported him to kenyan police. john did not respond. the company has also launched its own investigation into whether its kenyan operation has an endemic problem with sexual violence. sainsbury�*s says, these horrific allegations have no place in its supply chain. tesco supermarket says it's taking the claims extremely seriously and it is in constant dialogue with families to ensure with finlays to ensure robust measures are taken. starbucks did not provide a response. we also sent katie undercover on plantations owned for years by multinationalfirm unilever, where pg tips and lipton teas are produced. she was pressured for sex by the divisional manager under her direct supervisor. if you can satisfy me, i'll satisfy you.

unilever has known about this issue for more than a decade. in 2011, a report found sexual exploitation was prevalent on unilever�*s plantations. the company introduced a zero tolerance policy and other measures, but little appears to have changed. unilever says it's deeply shocked and saddened by our allegations. while we were secretly filming, unilever sold its tea operation in kenya. the new owner, lipton teas and infusions, says it has suspended the managers named in our investigation and has launched an independent inquiry. tom 0dula, bbc news. panorama's "sex for work: the true cost of our tea" is on bbc one at 8 o'clock tonight, and on bbc iplayer. time now to get the news,

and we love the bones of him — dippy the dinosaur skeleton has been roaming the uk for the past few years, but now he's settling down in coventry. we'll show you exactly where in around 20 minutes. we return now to our main story — which is the discovery of a body in the river wyre, in lancashire, close to where 45—year—old nicola bulley went missing more than three weeks ago. the body is yet to be formally identified but lancashire police is liaising with nicola's family — and keeping them informed of any developments. the force is also facing questions about its handling of the investigation into nicola's disappearance. our home editor mark easton has been looking into this. it been looking into this. is an investigation that rang alarm it is an investigation that rang alarm bells at the top of government, with both the prime minister and the home secretary expressing concern at lancashire

police's handling of a case that had attracted huge public interest. now we learn that, despite extensive work by police and private search teams, less than a mile from where nicola bulley went missing, a body had been lying on the riverfor perhaps three weeks. weeks of agony for herfamily and perhaps three weeks. weeks of agony for her family and friends. there have been questions about the investigation almost since the day she went missing onjanuary the 27th. on february the 3rd police said they were working on the assumption that her death was not suspicious, and she had simply fallen into the river. a week later, and the family were casting doubt on the hypothesis. five days after that, police said the missing mum of two had vulnerabilities. later revealed to be a personal struggle with alcohol and the menopause. the lancashire force found itself accused of victim blaming. that really could _ accused of victim blaming. that really could not _ accused of victim blaming. that really could not -- _ accused of victim blaming. that really could not -- could - accused of victim blaming. t'isgt really could not —— could have been dealt with in a far better and professional way at a very early stage in that missing person inquiry. quite simply by eluding to

numerous terrible crimes against women. but the nicola bulley case is likely to rekindle the debate about whether smaller forces like lancashire, one of 43 in england and wales, are up to the job when the national spotlight is upon them. and we will keep you right up—to—date throughout the morning if there are any further developments on that story. if you are heading to work for a school this morning and you have been benefiting from the government scheme that caps bus fares at £2, there is some good news. the trial is being extended untiljune. however, not everyone is happy. ben's at the breakfast bus stop to tell us more. good morning. i have been here four hours! there — good morning. i have been here four hours! there will _ good morning. i have been here four hours! there will be _ good morning. i have been here four hours! there will be three _ good morning. i have been here four hours! there will be three in - good morning. i have been here four hours! there will be three in a - hours! there will be three in a minute. absolutely, _ hours! there will be three in a minute. absolutely, you - hours! there will be three in a minute. absolutely, you know hours! there will be three in a - minute. absolutely, you know how it noes. many of us have relied on buses at some point in our lives — to get to school, work, evenings out... they are the most—used and cheapest form of public transport in the country.

but the number of routes and passengers have been falling — partly due to the coronavirus pandemic. so a scheme capping single fares on routes operated by 130 bus companies outside london will be extended for a further three months. this is after it was due to end in march. it will be backed by up to £75 million of government funding and is aimed at getting more people using the bus, particularly on those longer, often more rural routes. in west yorkshire, greater manchester and liverpool, the mayors have already introduced a fare cap of two pounds as part of longer—term transport schemes. however, passenger groups say that without the extension of this funding, bus operators could have been forced to cancel up to 15% of services. in fact, bbc analysis of data from the department for transport shows that in the five years up to 2022 the british bus network was reduced by an estimated 14%.

that's around one in seven bus routes gone. companies say that although passenger numbers are growing they still below pre pandemic levels and as a result less busy and costly routes will always be at risk. but what impact does that have on the people that rely on them? the bbc�*s transport correspondent katy austin has been to leicestershire and north yorkshire, two counties that have seen significant reductions in services. the only bus that stops in the leicestershire village of stapleton is the 159. hello. john catches it most days to the nearest town of hinckley for things like shopping. i've got my phone if you need me. 0k. catch you later, then. in two weeks' time, the 159 is being axed. i, like probably many more people, will be lost when it's gone. devastated. i'm a 24/7 carer and it's nice to think, i want to get out for an hour — i can go and get the bus,

go downtown even if i don't want to buy anything. the point is it's taking independence away from a lot of people. in hinckley, we also found passengers angry at the decision. there is people like me, that do rely on a bus still, that don't drive. i don't want to have to have a car, but i'm having to consider it. - the bus operator says it can't continue this particular route because council subsidy has been withdrawn. we are currently subsidising that bus to the tune of £162,000 per year. passenger numbers have not got back to where they was, and our council funds are very low and we're struggling. the council will offer an alternative bookable form of transport for essential trips, but it won't be a like—for—like replacement. over the five years to last march, leicestershire's bus network saw one of england's highest percentage falls — about 50%. but up and down the country, people are finding their service has disappeared or reduced. the 128 bus through north yorkshire

— a commercially funded route — now only runs every two hours, and misses out the village of ruston. so the older residents are having to walk up through the village — and it's a very steep hill — down the main road, which is a really fast—moving road, to the bus stop carrying their shopping. the bus companies say they're still getting fewer passengers than before the pandemic, and they've had to cope with rising costs. i'm going to get on this bus to speak to the man who runs one operator here in yorkshire. hello, ben. hi. how are you doing? fine. how are you? yeah, all good, thanks. it is very much about money. ultimately, we are a labour—intensive business. for the last two years we've increased our driver wages by 25% in order to remain competitive. 0ur utilities costs have gone up — so gas and electric, like they have for everybody — as well as parts for repairing vehicles. and we're expecting our fuel costs to go up as we go further into this year, as well. he says this reduced route is now covering its costs.

the department for transport said it had now invested more than £2 billion in supporting the industry since the pandemic began, and extended a temporary £2 cap on single fares across england until the end ofjune. along the 128 route is pickering, where residents are fighting to keep another bus - the 840. there's a possibility it might go. what would that mean for you? i'd have to quit myjob. because i don't drive, so i've no other transport. i've got a job to try and, you know, gain the money for driving lessons, but everything's just gone up so much. north yorkshire county council hopes this route can be saved. many people around the country have watched their bus depart for the last time. katie austin, bbc news. we would love to hear from you on this one, how vital either bus routes to you in your area and what is the deciding factor? is it the cost or the frequency? drop me a

line and lets us know by e—mail or on social media. the thing is, whether these situations, if people think the bosses are not frequent enough, there are not enough services, they will not use them. if they don't use them, the services get cut back. they get cut back at other people think, well, it's not reliable any more and it can easily end up in a vicious cycle which is what this scheme is designed to try to break and make it a bit more reliable and affordable for people. thank you very much. i am glad your boss arrived in the end.— boss arrived in the end. there is another one _ boss arrived in the end. there is another one there, _ boss arrived in the end. there is another one there, another - boss arrived in the end. there is| another one there, another one. boss arrived in the end. there is - another one there, another one. see you in— another one there, another one. see you in a _ another one there, another one. see you in a moment. someone had a good weekend. it was marcus rashford, _ someone had a good weekend. it was marcus rashford, wasn't _ someone had a good weekend. it was marcus rashford, wasn't it? - someone had a good weekend. it was marcus rashford, wasn't it? he - someone had a good weekend. it was marcus rashford, wasn't it? he is - marcus rashford, wasn't it? he is havin: marcus rashford, wasn't it? he is having good _ marcus rashford, wasn't it? he is having good weekend _ marcus rashford, wasn't it? he is having good weekend and - marcus rashford, wasn't it? he is having good weekend and good weekdays. i having good weekend and good weekda s. . ., ., , ~ ., weekdays. i have a theory. i know eve one weekdays. i have a theory. i know everyone keeps — weekdays. i have a theory. i know everyone keeps saying _ weekdays. i have a theory. i know everyone keeps saying why - weekdays. i have a theory. i know everyone keeps saying why is - weekdays. i have a theory. i know everyone keeps saying why is he l weekdays. i have a theory. i know. everyone keeps saying why is he so brilliant? he always was. what he was previously that everybody forgets is injured. he played carrying injuries were such a long time and here we have a fully fit marcus rashford who is unstoppable.

potentially going to propel manchester united to the league title. we were saying it was going to be a two horse race but now it is turning into... iand to be a two horse race but now it is turning into... i and the manager. and a big week ahead because they have the carabao cup final to come. a crucial week. he is doing very well. morning. he's in the form of his life at the moment, and marcus rashford was once again on the scoresheet as manchester united beat leicester 3—0. goals in both halves took his tally to 24 in all competitions as united maintained their five—point gap to leaders arsenal. nobody in any of europe's top leagues have scored as many goals as rashford since the world cup finished, that inclused the likes of lionel messi and kylian mbappe. and he is clearly loving life at the moment. confidence is obviously a massive part of anyone's game, but especially if a forward, you know, you want to be... ..you know, in the positions to score goals and taking as many of them as you can. so, yeah, ifeel good, ifeel confident and, you know, hopefully it can continue.

no sooner had son heung min scored for spurs in their win over west ham, the ugly side of football again reared itself, with news the tottenham forward had been subjected to online racist abuse. the club called it "utterly reprehensible" and called on social media companies and the authorities to take action. winners of the women's euros, england showing the form that could propel them to world cup success this summer. it's now 28 games unbeaten under head coach sarina wiegman, rachel daly with two goals as they beat italy in the arnold clark cup, to set up a winner takes all in their final match with belgium on wednesday. testament to the progress england are making under wiegman and to the talents of daly who was used as a defender instead of her prefered position as a striker during that euros success. also on the rise are motherwell, who came up trumps against hearts in the scottish premiership. blair spittal with a goal i'm not sure he'll ever score again —

his header back off the post, which came right back to him for their second at fir park. and that win means motherwell are now six points clear of dundee united, who are bottom.. right place at the right time. england booked their place in the semi finals of the women's t20 world cup, without even playing yesterday. it's after west indies beat pakistan who couldn't knock off the runs they needed with the final few balls to secure victory. both teams still retain slim chances ofjoining england in the last four. in the day's other game, new zealand thrashed sri lanka. this isn't a bad way to win your first british title. ellie baker smashing a 37—year—old record in the process. her win came at the uk indoor championships in the 1500 metres, with the 24—year—old putting in an impressive showing, to break zola budd's time which has stood since 1986. finally, the sad news that

legendary sports presenter dickie davies has died, aged 94. and that is all we have time for today. i hope you've enjoyed sharing at least part of the afternoon with us and you are all invited next week. he was best known for presenting itv�*s world of sport from the 19605 until it ended in 1985. but he also covered the olympics, boxing, darts and snooker. he suffered a stroke in 1995 but returned to television with the show dickie davies' sporting heroes. plenty of people have been paying tribute. former colleaguejim rosenthal announced the news on behalf of the davies family saying they were "so proud" of his "brilliant career on the telly". and he was, i guess, one of the most

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. agony for the family of nicola bulley as police find a body in the river a mile from where she went missing. thousands of ambulance workers are on strike in england and wales today amid an ongoing dispute over pay. is marcus rashford firing manchester united into the premier league title race?

the england forward's hot streak continued with two goals against leicester. all quiet on the western front. and the night belonged to all quiet on the western front as the film about the horrors of the first world war won seven baftas including best film. we will speak to the screenwriter just before 8am. a very well start the weak, and windy for some of you, but what does the rest of the week have in store? join me for the full forecast. it's monday the 20th of february. police in lancashire searching for nicola bulley have begun the formal process of identifying a body found yesterday in the river wyre close to where she disappeared. the 45 year—old was last seen more than three weeks ago walking her dog near st michael's on wyre.

our north of england correspondent judith moritz reports. the search for nicola bulley has been on land, in water and by air. now, finally, there's news that could be significant. the police were called just after 11:30 yesterday morning to reports of a body in the river wyre. the nearest road was quickly closed off and the footpath along the water's edge also sealed. after a mammoth search which extended all the way to the sea, this discovery was made within a short distance of where nicola went missing near to the village of st michael's on wyre. she was last seen more than three weeks ago in a field where she was walking her dog. her phone was then discovered on a bench next to the water. the body was found downriver about a mile away. an underwater search team and specialist officers went into the water and recovered the body before it was taken away for the identification process to begin. a forensics tent was erected to preserve the scene.

there will be a postmortem, and then thereafter there will, of course, be a coroner's inquest. so all the evidence has to be gathered as best and as professionally and as painstakingly as is required in order that the truth, hopefully at some point in the future, can be laid in front of the coroner's court and an inquest can be... and a verdict can be delivered. it's too early to know whether it is nicola who's been found. lancashire police say that herfamily is being kept informed as work's carried out to identify the remains. these aerial pictures show the stretch of riverjust after the bend where the discovery was made. it is an area which was searched with sonar equipment and divers. but search teams said that some parts of the water were hard to see because of debris. the investigation into nicola bulley�*s disappearance has if attracted widespread speculation, and after the police released personal details about her, there's also been a public and political backlash.

and at the centre of it all, there's a distressed family who are waiting for news. judith moritz, bbc news, lancashire. let's speak now to our reporter rowan bridge, who's in st michael's on wyre. so so sad, so many questions. rowan, have a lancashire police given any indication about how long this identification process could take? no, they haven't. that means that the wait for nicola's friends and family and the whole community here continues. we have had a message from paul ansell which was sent to sky news which sums up how they are feeling at the moment, we have no words right now, just agony. we are all together, we have to be strong. there are still signs up on the road where i am standing appealing for information about nicola bulley�*s disappearance and on the bridge you might be able to see behind me,

there are definite deals in yellow ribbons that have been tied to the bridge over the river by nicola's friends and the local community. that has all helped to keep nicola's name and face in the public�*s attention but it has also drawn unwelcome attention on social media where conspiracy theories and wild theories as to what might have happened to nicola have really flourished. lancashire police has said that has been unhelpful to the investigation and deeply distressing to have family themselves. they are now waiting for any further information and updates from lancashire police as our way as to whether this is indeed nicola bulley�*s body that has been found in the water. police have yet to confirm whether it is a man or woman who has been found so hopefully we will get more updates later on today. will get more updates later on toda . ~ .., will get more updates later on toda. will get more updates later on toda .~ ., will get more updates later on toda. today. we will come back to you if there are any _ today. we will come back to you if there are any developments - today. we will come back to you if there are any developments any i today. we will come back to you if - there are any developments any more information during the programme. ambulance workers in england and wales are on strike again, in an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions. more than 10,000 workers are taking

part in today's industrial action, with one union boss accusing the government of "putting its head in the sand" over the issue. peter ruddick has the details. paramedics, emergency care assistants and 999 call handlers are once again swapping ambulances and control rooms for picket lines. workers from the gmb and unite unions are walking out and seven different ambulance areas across england are affected. they will be joined by staff in wales after the gmb followed unite in rejecting a pay offer from the welsh government. in total, more than 10,000 people will be taking part in a dispute which shows little sign of being resolved. the minister hasn't met with us for several weeks, there's no dates in the diary. it seems that the government just simply want to put their head in the sand and hope this all disappears. the mood amongst our members is very strong, they are getting increasingly angry about the way that they're being treated over this, they feel they have put in a fair claim that should be addressed. but sadly, the government are more interested in playing politics. the reality is that if public sympathy was enough to win

a dispute, we would have won this already. one ambulance service in the north west tightened the definition of what calls it will answer today. however, unions say they will continue to respond to emergencies. elsewhere in the nhs, a ballot of 45,000 junior doctors from the british medical association closes at midday. one of the smaller health unions has today confirmed several hundred of its junior doctor members will also be striking next month. health secretary steve barclay said the government remains keen to talk to unions about a fair and affordable deal but that strikes are in nobody�*s best interests. peter ruddick, bbc news. we can hear more now about the situation in wales. our reporter lucy vladev is in cardiff. good morning, lucy, what is the mood there where you are? this good morning, lucy, what is the mood there where you are?—

there where you are? this is one of 20 icket there where you are? this is one of 20 picket across _ there where you are? this is one of 20 picket across wales _ there where you are? this is one of 20 picket across wales today. - there where you are? this is one of 20 picket across wales today. it - 20 picket across wales today. it involves two unions, unite and gmb, meaning around half of ambulance workers in wales are out on strike today. added to the 10,000 across seven ambulance services in england. this is significant of course because a few weeks ago the gmb almost had a deal with the welsh government. they had made an improved offer, an average of 5.5% for workers, improved offer, an average of 5.5% forworkers, but improved offer, an average of 5.5% for workers, but when that was put to the gmp members, it was rejected as too low. —— as too low. question to the gmp members, it was rejected as too low. question is, what you do if you need an today? the advice is still to call 999 if it is a life—threatening emergency, they will still get to those what they call category one most urgent calls as soon as they possibly can. it may affect those category two, the slightly less important concerns that people might have today. it might take them a little bit longer to get to them, there may be some

delays. and when you consider that there is more strike action q, unite has two more days, tomorrow and wednesday when they will be out on the pickets, there is a lot of disruption here in wales and across the rest of the country to come. thank you, lucy. to keep up to date with strikes in your area you can visit the bbc news website to see where walk—outs are planned and when. senior police officers across england and wales have warned that a failure to increase pay could lead to cuts in staff and delays to recruitment. a joint statement by the associations of chief constables, superintendents and police and crime commissioners, says pay has fallen in real terms by almost 17% in the last 12 years. the government says it remains on track to recruit 20,000 new officers. floods and landslides caused by heavy rain in the brazilian state of sao paulo have killed at least 36 people. a state of emergency has been declared in five towns along the coast, with hundreds more people feared

to be missing or injured. revellers travelled to the region across the weekend to take part in carnivals. turkey has ended rescue efforts in all but two provinces, two weeks after a massive earthquake killed tens of thousands of people. caroline davies joins us from the turkish city of adana. caroline, this phase is over, so what happens now?— caroline, this phase is over, so what happens now? that is the big ruestion, what happens now? that is the big question. and _ what happens now? that is the big question, and as _ what happens now? that is the big question, and as you _ what happens now? that is the big question, and as you drive - what happens now? that is the bigj question, and as you drive through the city streets, you can start to see the transition. the vast majority of the rescue workers have now left, 80 different countries and 11,000 workers according to the disaster body here in turkey working with the rescue effort, and down the streets are filled with diggers, clawing away at the concrete and cement that is left. the rubble left on the streets and driving to the streets, the daybreak comes so close

0k, ok, thank you, speak to you later. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, has announced that all primary school children in the capital will get free school meals in the next academic year. the one—off pilot scheme will help around 270,000 children and save families an estimated £440 per child. sadiq khanjoins us now from westminster. good morning. first of all, what has brought you to this point where you are able to make this commitment on free school meals? i are able to make this commitment on free school meals?— free school meals? i should put my cards on the _ free school meals? i should put my cards on the table _ free school meals? i should put my cards on the table and _ free school meals? i should put my cards on the table and declare - free school meals? i should put my cards on the table and declare an i cards on the table and declare an interest, as a child i benefited from free school meals, it was a lifeline to my family, it gave my parents both of whom were working breathing space knowing that their kids would get a decent meal at school. we do know that across london and across the country, many families are struggling because of the cost of living crisis. the child poverty action group have estimated that there are 210,000 children in london not receiving free school meals whose families are living in

poverty. unfortunately to receive free school meals you have to have a household income of less than £7,400 after tax irrespective of the number of children you have and speaking to teachers, and parents, we know it is leading to children not doing as well at school and parents skipping meals so their kids can eat. this is about supporting all children across london to receive free school meals in primary school. this london to receive free school meals in primary school.— in primary school. this is a one-off but the issues _ in primary school. this is a one-off but the issues are _ in primary school. this is a one-off but the issues are not _ in primary school. this is a one-off but the issues are not going - in primary school. this is a one-off but the issues are not going to - in primary school. this is a one-off but the issues are not going to go l but the issues are not going to go away. the issues will still exist beyond the end of this scheme, are there any plans to perhaps continue this war any longer? the there any plans to perhaps continue this war any longer?— this war any longer? the reason we have brought _ this war any longer? the reason we have brought this _ this war any longer? the reason we have brought this scheme - this war any longer? the reason we have brought this scheme in - this war any longer? the reason we have brought this scheme in now i this war any longer? the reason we have brought this scheme in now is| have brought this scheme in now is because we recognise the problem is acute now in relation to the cost of living crisis, particularly in september as the bills go up. the planets, we have got the money which provide certainty for at least a yearfor provide certainty for at least a year for every child provide certainty for at least a yearfor every child in primary schools to receive free school meals and we hope the government will

recognise that we need to do this across the country. we will be lobbying the government, using london as a pioneer of how we can do this. working with great councils, schools and others to see what we can do others. but this means there is certainty until the end of 2024, that every child in london from september will receive free school meals. ~ ., , ., september will receive free school meals. . ., , ., ., september will receive free school meals. ~ . , ., ., september will receive free school meals. ~ . ., ., meals. wales are on their way to universal free _ meals. wales are on their way to universal free school— meals. wales are on their way to universal free school meals, - meals. wales are on their way to | universal free school meals, they will be by 2024. and we know that the government has already expanded the government has already expanded the national breakfast programme and points to over a third of pupils receiving free school meals. you say you are on free school meals yourself as a child, do you think school meals should be free for every child throughout this country? i think they should. let me show you the evidence, from me speaking to parents and also teachers. parents skipping meals so that children can eat, children are receiving meals because their teachers are bringing in food to school. and we also know

there are children, and it's heartbreaking, because they have not brought in a packed lunch, they don't have free school meals, they pretend to eat so as not to be embarrassed. i know as a child, i'm now 52 years old but i still remember the embarrassment and the shame of receiving a free school meal token and the majority of my peers are not. that has stayed with me for 40, 50 years. so by having it universalfor all me for 40, 50 years. so by having it universal for all of me for 40, 50 years. so by having it universalfor all of our me for 40, 50 years. so by having it universal for all of our children to receive a free school meals, it gets rid of the stigma, gets rid of the shame, but it also means our children will be together, eating, better social skills, and also better social skills, and also better educational attainment. research shows that better productivity comes from better educational attainment. so there is a benefit to our country. this educational attainment. so there is a benefit to our country.— a benefit to our country. this is auoin to a benefit to our country. this is going to be _ a benefit to our country. this is going to be popular _ a benefit to our country. this is going to be popular with - a benefit to our country. this is| going to be popular with people

who are disabled, small businesses, to support their families. i would encourage your viewers to check whether their vehicle is compliant. an amazing stat, as a consequence of our policies, more than 94% of vehicles are now compliant in inner london and 85% in outer london so most vehicles, if you are lucky enough to own a car, are compliant. if you aren't, we are helping you. you say that but the scheme is hugely unpopular, 80% of people ask about it said they didn't want the expansion of the scheme. i'm interested in the ulez compliant cars and the 5crappage scheme which would offer people £2000 but auto trader have done a survey and it looks for cars for sale which meet the needs of the scheme and there is not one available for less than £15,000. that 2000 isn't going to touch the sides, is it? i £15,000. that 2000 isn't going to touch the sides, is it?— touch the sides, is it? i wouldn't believe the _ touch the sides, is it? i wouldn't believe the dodgy _ touch the sides, is it? i wouldn't believe the dodgy pal _ touch the sides, is it? i wouldn't believe the dodgy pal you - touch the sides, is it? i wouldn't believe the dodgy pal you are i believe the dodgy pal you are talking about, the official poll by yougov, a proper poll, showed twice as many welcomed the expansion than

those who opposed it. the 5crappage scheme is from £2000 for a motorcycle or a car to £9,500. most vehicles are compliant. you need a petrol vehicle 2005 or newer or eagles vehicle 2015 or newer. —— a diesel vehicle. when i announce the first ulez in central london, the same people opposing the policy now were opposing it then and the evidence for imperial college, from them, the finest air quality research in the world, said the policy in central london has been transformative. according to experts there is no other policy in the world that has improved in the air as much as the ulez in central london and in london. a reduction of 50% in toxic air in central london, 20% in inner london, and the expansion will lead to a reduction in nitrogen oxide and particulate

matter, and carbon emissions. we cannot kick the can down the road when it comes to improving the quality of our air. i would say to those opposing this, go and visit great ormond street hospital and speak to the children and their families suffering the consequences of the poison in our air, speak to the doctors, the experts at imperial college. the chief medical officer chris whitty come every year he does a report into the issue which is causing him the biggest concern. his report last year was about, guess what? air quality. i don't want to be that generation of politician that kicks the can down the road, i want to be the generation of politician that takes action now. so a simple yes or no answer to this, it will make life more expensive for people living in london london? it will extent the life of people in london. it will extent the life of people in london. ., ., will extent the life of people in london. ., «i ., london. it will make it more expensive- _ london. it will make it more expensive. the _ london. it will make it more expensive. the nhs - london. it will make it more | expensive. the nhs estimate london. it will make it more i expensive. the nhs estimate it london. it will make it more - expensive. the nhs estimate it costs £10.5 expensive. the nhs estimate it costs £10-5 billion — expensive. the nhs estimate it costs £10.5 billion to — expensive. the nhs estimate it costs £10.5 billion to treat _

of different types of families, and secondary schools teach pupils about lg bt relationships. but when i was in school, that wasn't the case. and that's because of something called section 28. so what was section 28? it was a law that was passed in may 1988, and banned councils and schools from promoting homosexuality. because it wasn't clear what promoting gay relationships meant, many teachers felt unable to talk about anything relating to gay people, and they made it very hard for gay people — like me — going to school at this time. the law was partly brought in because of a children's story about a little girl with two dads. conservative prime minister margaret thatcher said at the time, "children who need to be taught..." ..to respect traditional moral values are being taught - that they have an inalienable right to be gay — it was a message to gay people that they had no right to be themselves.

many people campaigned against the law, and activists even stormed the bbc to protest against it. in manchester, more than 20,000 people marched against section 28, while the actor ian mckellen — who played gandalf in lord of the rings — told the public he was gay for the first time to oppose the law. despite protests, section 28 became law in 1988. he speaks welsh. this is connor. he'516, and came out when he was 14 years old. so, 0wain, how did section 28 actually affect you as a person? well, it was strange because when i was in school, to be honest, i didn't really know what section 28 was. but what i saw was the product of section 28, which was homophobia absolutely... you know, it strengthened people's thoughts that homophobia was all right. so existing during a time

when section 28 was affecting the things that teachers could say had a massive impact on my life. it took me a really long time to actually be all right with the fact that i was gay. how did, you know, section 28 and the way that things around you... how did that affect you coming out to yourfamily? it definitely delayed it. you know, i didn't think that i would be accepted. there were no tv programmes that maybe broached the subject, or there were no entertainers on the tv who were openly gay. and if they were, you know, they were... they were always a bit of a joke. so it definitely took time for me to come out to my family. and when i did, i know they found it hard, but they were willing to learn. i'd say i'm very similar in that sense, because i grew up with a christian family. i called my grandmother and i said, "look, there's something i need to tell you."

and then i came out to my grandmother, and... she found it difficult at first, she did, but she said something that always stuck with me — she said, "no matter what you say or no matter what you do, i will always love you for who you are. it doesn't matter what my beliefs are, i will always love who you are." honestly, i think it's incredible that i'm back here in my own school talking to you about this and that we can have this conversation now because... oh, my gosh, connor, there was no way, when i was in school — you know, when i was your age — that i could have had this kind of conversation with someone. when i was here, my registration class was all the way down there. it's been 20 years since section 28 was repealed, and a lot has changed since then. in the year 2000, the scottish government got rid of the law, and then, three years later, in 2003, england and wales also scrapped it. those who supported the law have also since apologised. now, children growing up in england, wales and scotland will learn about all different types

of relationships and sexualities — although it's not compulsory in northern ireland. while there's still a long way to go, i'm just so glad that young people like connor can now be true to themselves and love whoever they want to. everyone has a right to their own opinion. they can have that opinion, that's fine, but you shouldn't let that bring you down. you shouldn't be scared of it. you shouldn't be scared of who you are. and you are beautiful just the way you are. absolutely. i'd say that. completely agree, completely agree. what a remarkable conversation there. itjust shows you how things have changed in a relatively short time. that was a report for bbc newsround by 0wain wyn evans. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. users on the river thames say they intend to fight new plans to put recycled sewage back into the water.

thames water want to recycle 75 million litres a day during extreme hot weather and replace it with treated effluent. water companies say this is the cheapest and simpliest way to make water supplies more resiliant and that any water will be treated to a high standard. but these swimmers are still not happy. thames water really should be working to fix their leaks and not pipe effluent. that would happen in the summer in times of drought. it would be just the worst thing for the river, for the ecology of the river, for the the fauna, the fish. everything about it is wrong. londoners face a shortage of affordable compliant used cars ahead of the ulez expansion scheme which is set to be introduced in august. the car retail magazine auto trader found there is just over 5,000 ulez—compliant cars for sale in london which cost £5,000 or less. the mayor of london sadiq khan is expanding the zone in a bid to improve air quality despite some

councils being opposed to the plans. tfl are also running a 5crappage scheme worth £110 million which offers up to £2,000 to people on certain low income towards the cost of replacing their vehicle. nearly half of londoners have used the elizabeth line since it opened in may last year. a yougov poll found 45% of the capital's residents have made at least one journey on the new stretch of line which runs form reading through central london to abbey wood and shenfield in essex. london theatre week kicks off today. tickets for more than 70 shows will be on sale at much—reduced prices. the event is now in its fifth year with organisers saying there are tickets for as low as £15. let's see how the tube is running the morning. there's no service between eu5ton and watford junction on the london overground. now onto the weather with kate. good morning.

it really is quite a mild start to the new week. we're going to hang on to this mild air for the next couple of days. settled, yes, dry and cloudy. now, high pressure to the south, so that brings the settled conditions, but also this mild air, as well. now, it is quite cloudy start this morning, and it's going to stay largely cloudy through the day. a few bright spells, however, and you mightjust get one or two glimpses of sunshine. a westerly breeze — noticeable one. temperatures today, a very mild 14 celsius. now, overnight, it stays fairly similar — we've still got quite a bit of cloud, the wind a little bit lighter overnight. the minimum temperature dropping down to mid single figures — around six or seven celsius. now, as we head into tuesday, very similar start tomorrow as we have this morning — quite cloudy. it stays dry through tomorrow. not until wednesday, we see this cold frontjust sneaking a little closer towards us, and that's going to bring a spell of rain on wednesday. will clear, though, through the afternoon — brighter to end, and temperatures a little cooler. that's it from me. you can always download the bbc news app for the very

latest or go on line. i'll be back in an hour, but for now let's cross tojon and sally. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we return now to our main story — which is the discovery of a body in the river wyre, in lancashire, close to where 45—year—old nicola bulley went missing more than three weeks ago. the body is yet to be formally identified but lancashire police is liaising with nicola's family — and keeping them informed of any developments. the force is also facing questions about its handling of the investigation into nicola's disappearance. bob eastwood is a former chief superintendent with lancashire police and joins us now from the fylde coast. good morning to you. so many questions and all of our thoughts

are with nikola's family and the entire community. —— nicola's family. a lot of people are getting in touch this morning asking how long could the formal identification process take? when will her family know what has happened? what would you expect? know what has happened? what would ou exect? ~ «' know what has happened? what would ou exect? ~ «i , you expect? well, i think people need to do what they have not i you expect? well, i think people i need to do what they have not been doing throughout this entire investigation and they need to leave the police and allow them that time and that space in order to support whoever is the family of the deceased person because obviously it hasn't been identified, the body has not been identified as nicola and they need to leave the police to be able to continue supporting her family throughout this. i am sure they will all be absolutely devastated, and i include the police officers involved in this investigation. i

officers involved in this investigation.— officers involved in this investigation. officers involved in this investiuation. «i ., ., investigation. i know you have alwa s investigation. i know you have always said — investigation. i know you have always said that _ investigation. i know you have always said that the _ investigation. i know you have always said that the likelihood investigation. i know you have i always said that the likelihood is that nicola bulley went into the river and, as you said, there has been so much noise and speculation around this case and so many false dawns and hopes. why did you always think that? ~ ., think that? well, i said from the outset, if think that? well, i said from the outset. if i _ think that? well, i said from the outset, ifi may, _ think that? well, i said from the outset, ifi may, i— think that? well, i said from the outset, ifi may, i am— think that? well, i said from the outset, ifi may, i am sure - think that? well, i said from the outset, ifi may, i am sure there outset, if i may, i am sure there may be some things that police could have done differently. this happens all the time in any walk of life and police is no different. the reason i came out in support of the police, i don't get involved in policing at this level any more, i haven't done for nine years. the i got involved is because i saw a huge sense of injustice taking place and the inquiry was notjust injustice taking place and the inquiry was not just about focusing on finding nicola and supporting the family, which i think the police have done very well, and that is what it should have been about. we have seen an absolute onslaught not only of personal attacks on the investigation, the investigation

team... the police have... sorry, the public have been faced with a number of retired police officers, one this morning from some 30 years ago, he retired, and he said that the search team couldn't find a current in a rice pudding. there has been misogynistic abuse directed at the senior investigator, a female detective superintendent. and i think everybody lost their way and it was very unfair, and we expect high standards from the police, quite rightly so, and the media does a brilliantjob in holding the police to account but some elements of the media basically made it much more difficult, and instead of focusing on the priority of finding nicola and supporting the family, they have had to defend their actions at every step of the way. in answer to your question, i think the police... they went through, which

they would do normally, a series of possibilities as to what could happen and they then came up with a working hypothesis. but i noticed, and some in the social media world and some in the social media world and some in the social media world and some of these so—called specialists that came in, didn't see that. they didn't sort of say that any other possibility hadn't taken place, what they did say was it was unlikely. and i think it was common—sense and logical to believe that nicola has fallen in the water and it may transpire, i would imagine sometime today, that the body that was recovered will be identified and it may or may not be nicola. ., identified and it may or may not be nicola. . ., , ., ., nicola. indeed. i hear what you are sa in: nicola. indeed. i hear what you are sa ini but nicola. indeed. i hear what you are saying but i — nicola. indeed. i hear what you are saying but i think _ nicola. indeed. i hear what you are saying but i think there _ nicola. indeed. i hear what you are saying but i think there will- nicola. indeed. i hear what you are saying but i think there will be - nicola. indeed. i hear what you are saying but i think there will be an i saying but i think there will be an awful lot of people this morning asking the question, if this is nicola, how could her body have been in the water just nicola, how could her body have been in the waterjust a mile from where she was last seen, and not found sooner? ~ ., �*, she was last seen, and not found sooner? ~ . �* , ., she was last seen, and not found sooner? ~ . �*, ., , .,

what has given up the body, as opposed to the body having been there all this time. bab opposed to the body having been there all this time. bob eastwood, formic chief _ there all this time. bob eastwood, formic chief superintendent - there all this time. bob eastwood, formic chief superintendent with i formic chief superintendent with lancashire police, thank you for your time and insight this morning. and you are correct, we have to wait for any information and just keep thinking of nicola's family this morning. thinking of nicola's family this mornini. �* ., thinking of nicola's family this mornini. . ., , thinking of nicola's family this mornini. i ., , thinking of nicola's family this mornini. . ., , ., morning. and of course if there are any developments _ morning. and of course if there are any developments we _ morning. and of course if there are any developments we will - morning. and of course if there are any developments we will bring - morning. and of course if there are i any developments we will bring them to you this morning here on the programme. time for a look at the sport. how are you? time for a look at the sport. how are ou? ~ ., , time for a look at the sport. how are ou? ., , , are you? we are good, as is marcus rashford, 30 _ are you? we are good, as is marcus rashford, 30 say. _ are you? we are good, as is marcus rashford, 30 say. he _ are you? we are good, as is marcus rashford, 30 say. he has _ are you? we are good, as is marcus rashford, 30 say. he has been - are you? we are good, as is marcus rashford, 30 say. he has been in i rashford, 30 say. he has been in brilliant form so far this season for his club and a remarkable return to form when you consider he arrived on the scene with so much promise and then he had that period where injuries... a lot was going on away from football, as well and people are saying it was easy to say he should be concentrating on football and it is easy to criticise players for that when you do so much good

work and in fairness it is nice now that he has been able to show what he can do on the football pitch once again and it is paying dividends because they are climbing up the table, manchester united. iie because they are climbing up the table, manchester united. he is en'o ini table, manchester united. he is enjoying himself. _ table, manchester united. he is enjoying himself. they - table, manchester united. he is enjoying himself. they are - table, manchester united. he is| enjoying himself. they are flying hi i h, the enjoying himself. they are flying high, they certainly _ enjoying himself. they are flying high, they certainly are. - morning. he's in the form of his life at the moment, and marcus rashford was on the scoresheet again as manchester united beat leicester 3—0. goals in both halves took his tally to 24 in all competitions as united maintained their five—point gap to leaders arsenal. nobody in any of europe's top leagues have scored more than rashford since the world cup finished, including the likes of lionel messi and kylian mbappe. and it has many wondering, including marcus himself, can united rein in the two teams above them? them two are, you know, probably the two best teams in the league, and...they�*ve consistently been that for the majority of the season. so we have to keep focusing on ourselves and, like i said today in the first half, nowhere near our best performance, but they're the things that we can look to build on and improve on,

and the manager will be pushing for us to do that. so very much concentrated on us. no sooner had son heung min scored for spurs in their win over west ham, the ugly side of football again reared itself, with news the tottenham forward had been subjected to online racist abuse. the club called it "utterly reprehensible" and called on social media companies and the authorities to take action. winners of the women's euros, are england showing the form that could propel them to world cup glory this summer? it's now 28 games unbeaten under head coach sarina wiegman, rachel daly with two goals as they beat italy in the arnold clark cup, to set up a winner takes all in their final match with belgium on wednesday. testament to the progress england are making under wiegman and the talents of daly who was used as a defender instead of her prefered position as a striker during that euros success.

if you watched the brit awards last weekend you'll have seen the band wet leg being named best group and best new artist. now their music is winning plaudits for a totally different reason — it's being used to remind people to make full use of home testing kits for bowel cancer. their hit track chaise longue has been re—worked by a bowel cancer survivor with a very frank message about what we need to do. anjana gadgil�*s been to find out more. # mummy, daddy, look at me. # i did a poo test, and they found the big c... we decided to make a wet leg video because we love them — they're island—based, and also their words fitted in perfectly with "screening saves lives" — the chorus of chaise longue — so we shamelessly pinched it. # screening saves lives, screening saves lives... it's a message that means a lot, after lou had a serious cancer scare. i believe i was saved last year through screening. i had a test through my

letter box, just did it. it transpired that i needed further investigation. a colonoscopy later, they'd found cancer, and within three weeks i was in st mary's, here on the isle of wight. i'd had part of my colon, 30 lymph nodes removed, and i'm out the other side and i'm absolutely fine. lou wouldn't have thought about bowel cancer if she hadn't been sent a test when she turned 56. i honestly had no symptoms, i had no idea there was anything wrong with me. they did say it was travelling — they took out a polyp, and apparently that was travelling down. so i don't know how far it might have progressed by the time i got symptoms. # would you like us to describe this... lou's friend emma is the other half of the duo. their work mate kirsty also makes an appearance. cervical screening was a life—saver for her. kirsty went for a routine smear. she was symptom—free. came out of that with further investigations, eventually had to have an op because she had

full—blown cervical cancer. she's now back, good, no further treatment — no chemo, no radiotherapy — so, amazing. # now cancer—free... bowel and cervical screening might make some people feel squeamish, but lou and emma want to end that stigma. it's probably pretty gross, you know, the poo ones — you've just got to poo on a stick, basically! but big deal — put it in the post box and it could be saving you a lot of hassle further down the line. anjana gadgil, bbc news. what a great message. well done to them. genevieve edwards is from bowel cancer uk. you must really welcome this unusual but very effective intervention. yeah, and i think it's brilliant. it is so good. sorry. it is so good to

hear from is so good. sorry. it is so good to hearfrom lou is so good. sorry. it is so good to hear from lou that she got the test through the post and did it and it spotted cancer before she even knew she had it. i'm delighted to see nhs england launching their campaign to encourage everybody to do their simple bowel cancer screening test. about 30% of people still don't send them back and as we have heard it can be a life—saver. mit? them back and as we have heard it can be a life-saver.— can be a life-saver. why do you think people — can be a life-saver. why do you think people don't _ can be a life-saver. why do you think people don't want - can be a life-saver. why do you think people don't want to i can be a life-saver. why do you think people don't want to do i can be a life-saver. why do you i think people don't want to do this? what stops them? i think people don't want to do this? what stops them?— think people don't want to do this? what stops them? i hear from lots of ieo . le what stops them? i hear from lots of ieo i le who what stops them? i hear from lots of people who say. _ what stops them? i hear from lots of people who say. oh. _ what stops them? i hear from lots of people who say, oh, i _ what stops them? i hear from lots of people who say, oh, iwill— what stops them? i hear from lots of people who say, oh, i will do - what stops them? i hear from lots of people who say, oh, i will do it, i people who say, oh, i will do it, yes, and then you forget about it. and so the message of this campaign is put it by the toilet, don't put it off, and i think that is very good because it will encourage people and remind them to do it and it won't gather dust in the kitchen or on a shelf somewhere. it is really simple, as lou said, only takes a few moments and it can detect tiny bits of blood before you can even see them that might mean that something is going wrong and it could be cancer. for a lot of people

it is not cancer, it is something else, and so if you do the test the chances are you probably will rule out bowel cancer, but if you do have something wrong, the sooner it is detected it is much easier to treat. i guess they will be people watching right now who have got one of those packets, unused, unopened, in the bathroom or the kitchen as you were saying. can they still use them? is there a time limit on them? ida. there a time limit on them? no, there a time limit on them? no, there isn't- _ there a time limit on them? no, there isn't. you _ there a time limit on them? no, there isn't. you can _ there a time limit on them? no, there isn't. you can still- there a time limit on them? iifr, there isn't. you can still use it, just say, right, today's the day i will use it. as i say, it takes a few minutes. i suppose unlike breast screening and cervical screening, you need an appointment, this comes through the letterbox and it is up to you to make sure you do it at home. as i say... i am really encouraged that 70% of people are doing that and that is brilliant and those numbers have been increasing, but we need to get to the other 30% and just persuade them. the other

thing we have campaign forfor a while is to reduce the screening age and you heard lou, she was 56 when she got that so it is coming down from age 60 steadily and if lou had waited until she was... you know, if you have had to wait until she was 68 might have been a different story, so please do the test. it is simple and could save your life. what you think the screening age should be? —— if she would have had to wait until 60. the should be? -- if she would have had to wait until 60.— to wait until 60. the nhs is briniiin to wait until 60. the nhs is bringing it _ to wait until 60. the nhs is bringing it down _ to wait until 60. the nhs is bringing it down to - to wait until 60. the nhs is bringing it down to 50 i to wait until 60. the nhs is bringing it down to 50 and i to wait until 60. the nhs is i bringing it down to 50 and that to wait until 60. the nhs is - bringing it down to 50 and that is what we have asked for. you can't do that in one big jump. if you live in scotland the screening age is already 50 and it is slightly different wherever you are in the uk but in england it is on its way down. the message really is the minute that test comes through the door, make sure you do it. itide minute that test comes through the door, make sure you do it. we know, because we — door, make sure you do it. we know, because we have _ door, make sure you do it. we know, because we have talked _ door, make sure you do it. we know, because we have talked about - door, make sure you do it. we know, because we have talked about bowell because we have talked about bowel cancer before, that some people do get a bit squeamish about it, don't like talking about it, and the idea

in case you missed it... the baftas took place last night and — as expected — the netflix first world war film all quiet on the western front was the big winner. it really was, wasn't it? the german—language epic — based on a classic book — bagged seven awards, including best film, adapted screenplay and original score. that's more baftas than any non—english language film has ever won. all quiet on the western front tells the story of young men who, poisoned by right—wing political nationalist propaganda, go to war thinking it's an adventure. and war is anything but an adventure. the film was a labour of love for lesley paterson, who co—wrote the screenplay — with support from her husband simon marshall. she literally gave blood, sweat,

tiers and broken bones to get it made. congratulations. incredibly well done. tell me you have been up all night celebrating and partying. pretty much, i have had about two hours of sleep. you pretty much, i have had about two hours of sleep-— hours of sleep. you look fabulous. for people — hours of sleep. you look fabulous. for people who — hours of sleep. you look fabulous. for people who don't _ hours of sleep. you look fabulous. for people who don't know, i hours of sleep. you look fabulous. for people who don't know, just i hours of sleep. you look fabulous. i for people who don't know, just tell everyone at home what he went through to get this film to the screen. ., , through to get this film to the screen. . , ,., ., screen. yeah, my partner and i o itioned screen. yeah, my partner and i optioned the — screen. yeah, my partner and i optioned the material- screen. yeah, my partner and i optioned the material 16 i screen. yeah, my partner and i optioned the material 16 years| screen. yeah, my partner and i i optioned the material 16 years ago and adapted it into a screenplay and went on a very tough journey to get this made until we found edward and so as a professional triathlete in my other life i used a lot of my race winnings to maintain that option because every year we would have to pay money towards it. there was one particular _ have to pay money towards it. there was one particular time _ have to pay money towards it. there was one particular time when - have to pay money towards it. there was one particular time when it i have to pay money towards it. there was one particular time when it was crisis point and you had to win a race in south america? you had an

up poignant message that we never gave up through that time. we believed we could find the right partners to get this done and we really did between edward and netflix we could not be more excited about the final result. all those years ago, when you got the rights and work so hard to keep them, what vision did you have for this film and has it turned out exactly how you thought it might, or is this different? this exactly how you thought it might, or is this different?— is this different? this is beyond our wildest _ is this different? this is beyond our wildest dreams, _ is this different? this is beyond our wildest dreams, to - is this different? this is beyond our wildest dreams, to be i is this different? this is beyond i our wildest dreams, to be honest. when we started this journey 16 years ago, it would have been very hard to have made a german speaking language film, raise the finance for it. that is what a lot of people outside the film business will not understand. but with netflix coming along and the appetite for foreign film and regionalfilm going through the roof, it allowed us to do this as a german—speaking language film. when we were pitched the idea we thought, this is amazing, and edwards vision and the way it was a

edward's vision and the way it was a shot, so immersive, and i think one of the biggest things that has been amazing for us is that the younger generation are loving this film. they are the ones who are telling their parents to watch it and it has such a strong message that needs to be heard. we could not be happier. i am not surprised. to sit there last night in that theatre and here "all quiet on the western front" read out as the winner seven times during the evening... pinch yourself, write?! honestly, i still can't believe it and when i get excited i have to run to the bathroom so i was running out and back in. up, down, up, down. laughter unbelievable for a foreign speaking language film with such an incredible message. you know, told from the other side, from what we know as our enemies. what does that

agony for the family of nicola bulley as police find a body in the river a mile from where she went missing. thousands of ambulance workers are on strike in england and wales today amid an ongoing dispute over pay. the crisis facing children with special educational needs and disabilities as bbc research reveals half of specialist state—schools in england are oversubscribed. ashamed, you know, as the head teacher of this school, i genuinely do feel it is shameful that this is what we are providing for our children. lower bus fares are here to stay for now as a scheme capping them is extended. but new bbc analysis reveals just how many bus routes have disappeared in recent years. i'll be taking a look in more detail. is marcus rashford firing manchester united into the premier league title race? as his hot streak continues in what is set to be a defining week in the club's season.

it isa it is a fairly cloudy and breezy start to the week but it is incredibly mild out there. will it last all week? i will have the details here on breakfast. it's monday the 20th of february. police in lancashire searching for nicola bulley have begun the formal process of identifying a body found yesterday in the river wyre close to where she disappeared. the 45 year—old was last seen more than three weeks ago walking her dog near st michael's on wyre. our north of england correspondent judith moritz reports. the search for nicola bulley has been on land, in water and by air. now, finally, there's news that could be significant. the police were called just after 11:30 yesterday morning to reports of a body in the river wyre. the nearest road was quickly closed off and the footpath along the water's edge also sealed. after a mammoth search which extended all the way to the sea, this discovery was made

within a short distance of where nicola went missing near to the village of st michael's on wyre. she was last seen more than three weeks ago in a field where she was walking her dog. her phone was then discovered on a bench next to the water. the body was found downriver about a mile away. an underwater search team and specialist officers went into the water and recovered the body before it was taken away for the identification process to begin. a forensics tent was erected to preserve the scene. there will be a postmortem, and then thereafter there will, this stretch of water is tidal in nature and it is a very fast flowing stretch of water which leads into the irish sea. and, you know, the way that the tides come and go, if there was anything such as a human body, it is possible that that body could have flown in and flown out and has eventually been given up by the water.

it's too early to know whether it is nicola who's been found. lancashire police say that herfamily is being kept informed as work's carried out to identify the remains. these aerial pictures show the stretch of riverjust after the bend where the discovery was made. it is an area which was searched with sonar equipment and divers. but search teams said that some parts of the water were hard to see because of debris. the investigation into nicola bulley�*s disappearance has if attracted widespread speculation, and after the police released personal details about her, there's also been a public and political backlash. and at the centre of it all, there's a distressed family who are waiting for news. judith moritz, bbc news, lancashire. let's speak now to our reporter rowan bridge, who's in st michael's on wyre. rowan, good morning. lancashire police obviously working very hard at the moment following this discovery yesterday but is there any indication about how long it might take to identify the body? ida.

police say has been both unhelpful for their investigation, they have had to put dispersal orders in place for some periods around here because people were coming to do their own amateur sleuth thing. an extremely distressing for the family, and indeed, pulled ansell, nicola bulley�*s partner, sent a text message to sky news last night saying, he had no news last night, just agony. that really sums up the situation this morning.— just agony. that really sums up the situation this morning. thank you so much indeed. _ situation this morning. thank you so much indeed, rowan. _ ambulance workers in england and wales are on strike again, in an ongoing dispute over pay and conditions. more than 10,000 workers are taking part in today's industrial action, with one union boss accusing the government of "putting its head in the sand" over the issue. health secretary steve barclay he's keen to talk to unions but that strikes "are in nobody�*s best interests". we can hear more now about the situation in wales. our reporter lucy vladev

you will leave some waterproofs. but patchy drizzle in mainland scotland, northern ireland, north—west england. some could push into wales late on but much of england and wales will be dry. the rest of the sunshine is in the far north of scotland, windy elsewhere, but it will be a mild afternoon, temperatures could get up to 16 celsius, 6i fahrenheit. even in the cooler air in the north of scotland, still above average for the time of year. tonight, another mild night to come, rain at times, in the north—west of scotland, plenty of cloud elsewhere, a few breaks and as we go to the week temperatures will start to drop. more details with your forecast for the week later in the programme. half of state—funded schools for children with special educational needs and disabilities in england are oversubscribed

as they struggle to meet growing demand for places, bbc research has found. headteachers have resorted to converting staffrooms and even cupboards into teaching spaces due to a lack of space. 0ur education correspondent elaine dunkley has more. this is maltby hilltop school in rotherham. like many specialist schools across the country, there is pressure on places. hello! freya! doing some fantastic walking. the classrooms and corridors are cramped and overcrowded as they take on more pupils. ten years ago they had 82 pupils. now they have 134 and there is a waiting list. how much of your time do you spend looking for space? i mean, it's continual. i mean, mentally and physically, i go round the school time and time again to try and find available space. and this is a case in point. what i'm about to show you, this was a former resource cupboard,

but now we have members of the visual impairment therapy team conducting therapy with our children in this space. in a resource cupboard? in a resource cupboard. afternoon! good afternoon. i'm ashamed. as the headteacher of this school, i genuinely do feel it is shameful that this is what we are providing for our children. you know, and also i know it could be so much betterfor them. they deserve so much better. so what is causing pressure on places? there is increasing diagnosis of special educational needs. some mainstream schools are struggling to cope. we're going to watch that tennis game. funding is an issue. local authorities' high—need budgets are tight, and new specialist schools aren't being built quick enough to cope with the rising demand for places. being able to break out into a space is so important for our kids. so you have a number of children up on the yard enjoying time outside,

but then for some young people in crisis, they need access to a break—out space. we don't have those spaces. it's lunchtime and the children eat in classrooms. the dinner hall is now being used for therapy. it's very soon, jack. dinnertime. we're a little bit cramped. we're always a little bit cramped. what's going on? in a small kitchen, sarah is teaching vital life skills for those in sixth form. the lack of space makes it difficult. it's not ideal at all. you can't have more than four or five people in this room, and i have got seven children in my pizza club. and there's four members of staff. what i want for these children, is what i'd want for my own children. this is like my nest. and they are the birds, my little chicks. and i want them to fly, you know, to fly. and i want them to flourish. some pupils have had to leave the school because they can't cope with the overcrowding. sarah was hoping this day wouldn't come. she's in school to collect her son cohen's belongings. he's no longer able to learn

in the noisy, cramped, portacabins and is now at home. i've just seen his tray. this is his tray. cohen's work. it's really sad to see it because this is where he should be. he should be learning and he should be with his friends. he started to have panic attacks, hyperventilating. he wants to be here, but it's the space is not allowing it. it's hard to see him and he's not engaging in anything other than the same monotonous daily routine. make himjump. emma has come to have a look around with daughter georgie. she's faced delays getting an education and health care plan. a legal document outlining the support georgie needs. and now there's more delay as she waits for a school place to become available. it makes me well up, to be honest, because by the time she'll be coming here in september next year, that'll be two years out of education. soto see her today with the other children and being somewhere where i know she really,

really wants to be, it chokes you up. is there enough recognition of what happens in schools like yours? no, because we shut up and get on with it. that's the problem. and we put up with it and we do the best that we can for the good of the kids. but there comes a point, there comes a breaking point. and we are at utter capacity. so something has to be done. in a statement, the government says it's providing £2.6 billion between now and 2025 to help deliver new school places. this is a school which celebrates every success. look at you in the pool, on the trampoline, washing your hands. but this headteacher is worried that far too many children are being failed by the lack of space and resources in specialist schools across england. elaine dunkley, bbc news, in rotherham. we're joined now by anne longfield, the former children's commissioner for england, and debbie sweet,

who is the head of a specialist school in west yorkshire. morning to both of you. if i can come to you first of all, debbie, morning, start of a busy week for you, i am sure. morning, start of a busy week for you, iam sure. i'm interesting morning, start of a busy week for you, i am sure. i'm interesting to know find out, i imagine that these findings are not much of a surprise for you? findings are not much of a surprise for ou? ., , ., findings are not much of a surprise for ou? ., i. .., ., , for you? no, you could have been talkin: for you? no, you could have been talking about _ for you? no, you could have been talking about our _ for you? no, you could have been talking about our school - for you? no, you could have been talking about our school here, - for you? no, you could have been| talking about our school here, and for the last five or ten years. it's exactly the same situation for us, we have had to look at every available space and be as creative and innovative as possible to problem solve and create teaching spaces. the room i am sitting and talking to you in this morning used to be a physiotherapy space where physiotherapists could come and work with children in school, we have now had to turn it into a classroom. we had to turn it into a classroom. we had a coal—fired bowler which we ——

much for our staff, we have staff coming in on saturdays to make classrooms ready for monday but there is a sacrifice and there's always a pay off whatever we do. we have reached the end of that, it is not sustainable any more. the body will be great, of course, it's too little —— the money will be great but it is too little and too late. this crisis has grown the years, and this should not come as a surprise to anyone, it doesn't come as a surprise to any head teachers working in the sector right now. thank you, boat, i know you have got a busy day, debbie so we will let you get back to the kids. for more on this story you can watch a documentary on bbc iplayer — it's called "send help". breakfast is on bbc one until 9.15am, when morning live takes over. let's see what they have in store

resilient, and that any water will be treated to a high standard. but these swimmers are still not happy. thames water really should be working to fix their leaks and not pipe effluent. that would happen in the summer in times of drought. it would be just the worst thing for the river, for the ecology of the river, for the the fauna, the fish. everything about it is wrong. londoners face a shortage of affordable compliant used cars ahead of the ulez expansion scheme, which is set to be introduced in august. the car retail magazine auto trader found there is just over 5,000 ulez—compliant cars for sale in london which cost £5,000 or less. the mayor of london sadiq khan is expanding the zone in a bid to improve air quality, despite some councils being opposed to the plans. tfl are also running a scrappage scheme worth £110 million, which offers up to £2,000 to people on certain low incomes towards the cost of replacing their vehicle.

nearly half of londoners have used the elizabeth line since it opened in may last year. a yougov poll found 45% of the capital's residents have made at least one journey on the new stretch of line, which runs form reading through central london to abbey wood and shenfield in essex. london theatre week kicks off today. the event is now in its fifth year and organisers say there are tickets for more than 70 shows for as little as £15. let's see how the tube is running the morning. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it really is quite a mild start to the new week. we're going to hang on to this mild air for the next couple of days. settled, yes, dry and cloudy. now, high pressure to the south, so that brings the settled conditions, but also this mild air, as well. now, it is quite cloudy start this morning, and it's going to stay

largely cloudy through the day. a few bright spells, however, and you mightjust get one or two glimpses of sunshine. a westerly breeze — noticeable one. temperatures today, a very mild 14 celsius. now, overnight, it stays fairly similar — we've still got quite a bit of cloud, the wind a little bit lighter overnight. the minimum temperature dropping down to mid single figures — around six or seven celsius. now, as we head into tuesday, very similar start tomorrow as we have this morning — quite cloudy. it stays dry through tomorrow. not until wednesday, we see this cold frontjust sneaking a little closer towards us, and that's going to bring a spell of rain on wednesday. will clear, though, through the afternoon — brighter to end, and temperatures a little cooler. that's it from me. you can always download the bbc news app for the very latest, or go online. i'll be back in half an hour.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we return now to our main story — which is the discovery of a body in the river wyre, in lancashire, close to where 45—year—old nicola bulley went missing more than three weeks ago. the body is yet to be formally identified but lancashire police is liaising with nicola's family — and keeping them informed of any developments. the force is also facing questions about its handling of the investigation into nicola's disappearance. our home editor mark easton has been looking into this. it is an investigation that rang alarm bells at the top of government, with both the prime minister and the home secretary expressing concern at lancashire police's handling of a case which had attracted huge public interest. now we learn that, despite extensive work by police and private search teams less than a mile from where ms bulley went missing, a body had been lying in the river for perhaps three weeks — weeks of agony for her

family and friends. there have been questions about the investigation almost since the day ms bulley went missing on january the 27th. on february the 3rd, police said they were working on the assumption that ms bulley�*s death was not suspicious, and she'd simply fallen into the river. a week later, though, and the family were casting doubt on the hypothesis. five days after that, police said the missing mum of two had "vulnerabilities" — later revealed to be a personal struggle with alcohol and the menopause. the lancashire force found itself accused of victim—blaming. that really could could have been dealt with, i think, in a far better and more professional way at a very early stage in that missing—person inquiry, quite simply by eluding to nicola having vulnerabilities, but packaging them up much more broadly and saying

that they are mental—health issues. ——alluding to. lancashire police has announced it's conducting an internal review of the investigation, and has referred itself to the independent police watchdog. his majesty's inspectorate of constabulary may well wish to focus on lancashire's performance, too. when the inspectorate conducted a full review of lancashire police in 2017, is said the force needed to "improve the protection of vulnerable people and the supervision of investigations when a vulnerable victim is involved". the inspectorate currently has six other police forces in special measures. you can see them here — cleveland, staffordshire, gloucestershire, devon and cornwall, wiltshire, and of course the metropolitan police, too. nojustice, no peace! scotland yard is struggling to restore its reputation after two of its officers, wayne couzens and david carrick, were sentenced to life imprisonment for numerous terrible crimes against women. but the nicola bulley case is likely to rekindle the debate about whether smaller forces — like lancashire, one of 43 in england and wales — are up to the job when the national spotlight is upon them. mark easton, bbc news.

we will speak to our correspondence in the area if there are any developments in the next half hour. really busy weekend of sport and one man we been talking about all morning. man we been talking about all morninr. . . man we been talking about all mornin.. . , .,, ., ., morning. marcus rashford, an unbelievable _ morning. marcus rashford, an unbelievable season. - morning. marcus rashford, an unbelievable season. there i morning. marcus rashford, an unbelievable season. there is| morning. marcus rashford, an i unbelievable season. there is no player in europe that is matching what he is doing as far as goals, his output is unrivalled at the moment. ~ his output is unrivalled at the moment-— his output is unrivalled at the moment. . ., ., moment. we always said he was all ri . ht. moment. we always said he was all rirht. he moment. we always said he was all right- he could _ moment. we always said he was all right. he could always _ moment. we always said he was all right. he could always play - moment. we always said he was all right. he could always play a i moment. we always said he was all right. he could always play a little l right. he could always play a little bit, right. he could always play a little bit. couldn't— right. he could always play a little bit, couldn't he? _ right. he could always play a little bit, couldn't he? he _ right. he could always play a little bit, couldn't he? he is _ right. he could always play a little bit, couldn't he? he is becoming l right. he could always play a little| bit, couldn't he? he is becoming a player everyone expected him to be at the moment and it bodes well for manchester united, battling on all fronts, and a very big week ahead of them. morning. he's in the form of his life at the moment and united will want that to continue in a defining week in their season with barcelona

and the carabao cup final to come. goals from rashford in both halves takes his tally to 24 in all competitions, nobody in europe has scored more since the end of the world cup. they're five points off the league leaders, well placed to reach the last eight of the europa league and could secure their first piece of silverware under their ew manager when they take on newcastle at wembley on sunday. and he's got a message for the fans this week. i say on thursday it is a big game, make sure you either. we are sure we will beat barcelona together. it's a big week ahead too for england. fresh from their euros success they'll be looking to retain the arnold clark cup with the bigger test of the world cup this summer to come. recent results have them believing they can. unbeaten in 28 games. they beat italy yesterday to set up a winner—takes—all against belgium on wednesday. as jane dougall reports.

facing a far—lower—ranked team, this was a chance to see a different england line—up. katie robinson making her debut in front of a 32,000 strong crowd. and she made an early international impact. a perfect ball in to set up england's first. daly again! defender rachel daly enjoying a spell up front. she is lethal in front of goal! but then controversy. the ball looked to have gone out before italy crossed, then dismay as the ball clearly did bounce over the goal line. oh, the goal is given! but no var, no whistle, and italy had equalised. that looked really close indeed. england's response was quick, daly in the perfect position once more. daly again! giving the crowd a new hero. at the double for rachel daly! another victory for manager sarina wiegman, and with the world cup this summer, a positioning headache from the player of the match.

jane dougall, bbc news. all pointing in the right direction for england at the moment. this isn't a bad way to win your first british title. ellie baker smashing a 37—year—old record in the process. her win came at the uk indoor championships in the 1500 metres, with the 24—year—old putting in an impressive showing, to break zola budd's time which has stood since 1986. in tennis, british number one cameron norrie missed out on a fifth atp title, losing to world number two carlos alcaraz in the final of the argentina open. alcaraz returning from a four—month absence from injury, too strong for norrie, as he won in straight sets in just over an hour and a half against the wimbeldon semifinalist. over an hour and a half against the wimbledon semifinalist. finally, the sad news that legendary sports presenter dickie davies has died aged 94. and that is all we have time for today. i hope you've enjoyed sharing at least part of the afternoon with us and you are all invited next week. he was best known for presenting itv�*s world of sport from the 19605 until it ended in 1985.

he also covered the olympics, boxing, darts and snooker. former colleaguejim rosenthal announced the news on behalf of the davies family saying they were "so proud" of his "brilliant career on the telly". he really was in households across the nation for so many years through the nation for so many years through the 19705 and 19805. aha, the nation for so many years through the 1970s and 1980s.— the nation for so many years through the 1970s and 1980s._ he | the 1970s and 1980s. a legend. he really was. — the 1970s and 1980s. a legend. he really was. one _ the 1970s and 1980s. a legend. he really was, one of _ the 1970s and 1980s. a legend. he really was, one of the _ the 1970s and 1980s. a legend. he really was, one of the most - really was, one of the most recognised faces in the country at that time. covered so many great sports, met sami people through the years and lovely tributes are being paid to him after a great career. he was always very calm and suave. paid to him after a great career. he i was always very calm and suave. that is the key thing- _

cold but colder to how we started. if you are on half term this week, i know some of you are starting that today. we have a lot of cloud across the northern half of the country and just north of shetland, deep area of low pressure pushing towards norway, bringing gusts of rain in excess of 60 mph. 40 mph because parts of scotland, northern ireland, northern england heaviest rain across the southern islands. may be some rain in higher ground of north—west wales later. many having a dry day, vests and chevy parts of east wales, east midlands, east anglia, the far north—west of scotland. particularly eastern england, we could hit around 15 or 16 degrees. miles storey continues into tonight. feathering address of the west, not a great deal, wetted conditions across the and islands, especially later tonight. temperatures still at five tonight. temperatures still at five to 9 degrees, where we should be at

this stage in the year. miles dietmar, lots of cloud, sunny breaks in central and eastern parts. wet weather in the far north and north—west of scotland, easing but then were rain in the western isles later in the day. if anything, a mild day across north—east of scotland, 14, 15, may 16 degrees. still substantially above normal. tuesday into wednesday, outbreaks of rain widely across uk pushing eastwards, varying amounts across parts of england and wales but it introduces some colder conditions but notice the winds are coming off the atlantic so not desperately chilly but a cooler feel later on wednesday. wednesday starts with cloud, outbreaks of rain across the eastern half of the country, brightening from the west but sunshine and showers and the show is turning wintry of a higher ground of scotland and northern ireland. seven to 11 degrees, still not quite where we should be for this stage in february but with the colder air in place, a ridge of high pressure through tuesday night, wednesday

into thursday, greater chance of frost are investing on thursday. showers across the south and south—east, gradually clearing. bright start in scotland and northern ireland but carding over later with further outbreaks of rain and temperatures more widely into single figures. we see the week out and going to the weekend with high pressure buildings are more dry weather again but temperatures will continue to slide all the way into next weather again but temperatures will continue to slide all the way into next week. we have been warned. thank you. take care. the red carpet was rolled out in london last night for the bafta awards. the big winners included the banshees of inisherin, elvis, and a record—breaking seven prizes for the unflinching first world war film all quiet on the western front. our culture and media editor katie razzall was there. the glitziest night of the british film calendar and with the royal seal of approval, where silver and shimmer ruled the red carpet and the talent came to london to celebrate and be celebrated, sometimes with tears,

often with autographs. cate blanchett has been the bookies' favourite for best actress from the off. but what of the irish contingent? would the banshees of inisherin and their film about a friendship gone wrong win the hearts of bafta voters? now, if i've done something to you, just tell me what i've done to you. but you didn't do anything to me. the rift takes the film to very dark places. you liked me yesterday! the banshees of inisherin. last night it was named outstanding british film to the joy and amusement of its writer and director. i know every irish person in the cast and crew were kind of going, "best what award?" but... kerry condon. the film's supporting actors cleaned up, too. in an awkward moment, kerry condon picked up her award after the wrong person was initially announced. barry keoghan! best supporting actor went to her co—star, an actor who spent time in care as a child.

also, for the kids that are dreaming to be something from the area that i came from, this is for yous. austin butler won best actor for his hip—swinging beat—perfect turn as elvis. cate blanchett. and cate blanchett joined the all—white acting category winners. her third best actress bafta — this for the film tar. every year, these idiosyncratic remarkable performances just break down the myth that women's experience is monolithic. but the night belonged to one film. netflix's all quiet on the western front, an epic in german that lays bare the horrors of war. all quiet on the western front. seven baftas, including the top awards for best director and best film. all quiet on the western front tells a story of young men who, poisoned by right—wing political nationalist propaganda, go to war thinking it's an adventure.

and war is anything but an adventure. theirfilm, a labour of love by triathlete and british writer lesley paterson, who spent years trying to get it made. 16 years ago, we could not have made this film in german for this kind of budget. and it's the streamers who've gotten that reach and allowed these kinds of films to be made. a lot of young people, a lot of my friends' children are telling them to watch this film. and we could not be happier because we want the younger generation to watch films like this that have such a strong message. all quiet has made bafta history for a film not in the english language. could it now do the same at the oscars next month? katie razzall, bbc news. it all bodes well, doesn't it? seven

arriving in 29 separate wooden cases. the model was reassembled to see the magnificent 26 metre long sites that you can see now. 292 bones in total, or replicas of bones, 291 have been put in place so far because we are about to put the very last piece in to complete dippy injust a couple very last piece in to complete dippy in just a couple of minutes. it is the latest chapter in what has been, let's face it, a very, very long history. herds of diplodocus roamed the earth 150 million years ago. they were among the biggest animals on the planet. herbivorous — plant—eating — their size and appetite meant they could clear forests. the original skeleton was discovered in the united states by railway workers in 1899. dippy is a replica — made up of casts of the 292 diplodocus bones to form the huge skeleton that first stood in london's natural

history museum in 1905. six years ago, it set off on a tour around the uk, and was seen by two million visitors. people keen if not to walk with dinosaurs, then at least to stand beside and beneath one — marvelling at its scale, and imagining a world tens of millions of years ago. we are underneath the tail section, in the bowels of the beast it feels like. lots of people have gathered here at the museum this morning to see this last piece of the skeleton go in place. daisy will do the honours. tell us what will happen. we are going to put the final toe bone on this morning and daisy has the honour and once she has done that, dippy is complete and ready for the audience of visitors at
