to what we see today. only a few people live on enlli now and visitors are only allowed between march and october. it's hoped that this new status will help protect as well as enhance the island. we've got a long—term vision - and commitment to having a thriving community and economy on enlli that is respectful and protects. the uniqueness of what enlli has- in terms of our natural environment, our economic heritage, our spiritual heritage, i and the dark skies really brings all of that together. _ enlli is certainly unique and the aim is to celebrate its dark skies and special qualities for years to come. that was near kerry's reporting. time for a look at the weather. here's elizabeth rizzini.

clear dark skies by night translate to blue sunny skies by day. it's not the start of the meteorological spring just yet but still some springlike weather watch pictures coming in. this one from the scottish borders, a touch of frost on the grass and some snowdrops basking in all of that sunshine we are seeing at the moment in leicester and it's across the central swathes of the uk were so for the midlands, wales, much of northern england, particularly north west england, as you can see from the satellite picture we have a bit of a sunshine sandwich going on so more cloud towards the nous, some cloud across southern counties as well. this cloud is set to retreat further southwards and eastwards through the afternoon, so the drizzle clearing up, brighter skies, rain moving into north—west england pushing southwards and eastwards. these are round about the average temperatures for the time of year but it will feel a bit cooler than that with the added wind chill and we are expecting gales across shetland and the far north of scotland this evening before the winds begin to ease down again. overnight tonight this area of cloud, the rain petering out, is

gradually sinking southwards. skies stay clear is the longest toward southern counties of england so here are a touch of frost into tomorrow morning. elsewhere, largely frost free. a sunny start towards northern areas of scotland. on friday the cold front continues to push southwards and it will start to introduce quite a brisk northerly wind especially towards eastern coastal areas exposed to the north sea there, so our weather front sinks southwards, there will be cloud and for much of england and parts of wales as well. sunny spells developing for many of the rest of us. they could be one or two showers that could turn out wintry over higher ground of scotland. temperatures in theory a little bit higher but there will be a brisk northerly winds they will have to factor in a bit of added wind—chill into those temperatures that feel a lot colder. over the weekend our high pressure out towards the west is set to building and that's going nowhere as we head through the next few days or so but because we are on the edge of it there will be quite a

bit of cloud out towards the north sea coasts and that's set to transfer further eastwards as we head through the day on saturday. while it should stay dry pretty much across the board, a few showers towards the east, it will turn cloudy and temperatures are starting to turn a little bit lower, 7—8 c and what we see on saturday is largely what we are set to keep as we head through the weekend and into the of next week. it audio, breezy and cool towards the east. more sunshine in the west and more sunshine for the start of the meteorological spring. reeta. a reminder of our top story... three people are arrested after a police officer is shot and in northern ireland. that's all from the bbc news at one. on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. good afternoon.

it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. he has been described as a giant of broadcasting and the voice of a football generation. many more tributes are coming in for the former bbc football commentatorjohn motson who has died at the age of 77. a statement from his family said, "it is with great sadness that we announce thatjohn motson obe died peacefully in his sleep today." he started with the bbc in 1968 and went on to describe over 2,000 games, these are some moments you might remember. here's gascoigne! oh, brilliant! yes! oh, yes! and there it is, the crazy gang have beaten the culture club. it is dramatic, it is delightful, it is denmark who are the european champions. radford again! what a goal! radford the scorer. and still ricky villa, what a fantastic run!

of football in england. helping clubs avoid going into administation and blocking the top sides from joining a breakaway european super league would be be among the powers held by english football's new independent regulator as well. what we have seen recently in over a number of years is clubs like bury football club, rochdale, blackpool, financial mismanagement ruining clubs and destroying it for their fans. so we are bringing forward today the biggest shake—up in football since the rules were first formulated. an independent regulator who is going to oversee and ensure financial stability, more say for fans and things that matter to them. it is a huge few days for manchester united with a chance to lift the trophy at wembley in an elite cup final. first the focus is on barcelona in the europa league tonight. neitherside barcelona in the europa league

tonight. neither side is used to playing in europe's second competition, but both are still focused on progressing and lifting more silverware, and it showed in the first leg of the type which was a classic finishing 2—2. for the first leg of the type which was a classic finishing 2-2._ the first leg of the type which was a classic finishing 2-2. for me, the next game — a classic finishing 2-2. for me, the next game is _ a classic finishing 2-2. for me, the next game is the _ a classic finishing 2-2. for me, the next game is the biggest _ a classic finishing 2-2. for me, the next game is the biggest game. i a classic finishing 2-2. for me, the | next game is the biggest game. but i am not the type who is looking back and looking forward to big great teams facing each other. it will be a massive atmosphere, great ambience. i think that is the best you can get. england captain ben stokes has confirmed to the bbc that his side will be unchanged as they aim for a seventh successive win in the second test against new zealand later today. there were questions on the fitness ofjames anderson and stuart broad, who together took 12 wickets in the first test victory over new zealand. both have now been deemed fit and it will be their 134th test together.

the second test takes place on the same ground, in wellington, where they were first united as a partnership 15 years ago. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. thank you very much. let's return to our top story this afternoon — the shooting of detective chief inspectorjohn caldwell in northern ireland last night. the police this morning gave a press conference with more details of what happened. here's chief constable simon byrne from the police service of northern ireland. he's had surgery overnight and he remains in a critical condition. clearly, as an organisation, we are utterly shocked and angered by last night's brazen and calculated attack. john is a father, husband and colleague and a valued and active member of his local community. deputy chief constable mark hamilton visited the family in hospital

overnight to offer them our support at this most difficult time. we will continue to provide all the necessary assistance to john's family and colleagues as we navigate the difficult days ahead. john has been a valued police officerfor 26 years, committed to public service as a senior investigating officer, supporting victims and theirfamilies in bringing offenders to justice. john is held in the highest esteem within our organisation. he is a credit to his family and to the police service. and, of course, ourthoughts are withjohn and his family as he fights for his life in hospital today. i would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the public and the emergency services who worked so hard last night to savejohn�*s life. john's colleagues are understandably

extremely distressed by last night's shooting. however, they remain resolute and committed to bringing those responsible for this heinous crime to justice. i also welcome the cross—party political condemnation of last night's attack. however, it is tragic and sad that there are still some who wish to drag us back to the past. i've also received numerous messages of support from colleagues, partners and politicians, as well as the public who are all united in their support for policing. i and my colleagues are grateful for their strength of condemnation of this awful attack. so, before acc mcewan and myself take questions, i would also like to confirm that in this fast—paced investigation this morning, we have arrested three men aged 38, 45 and 47 in omagh and coalisland in connection

withjohn�*s attempted murder. they are currently being questioned by detectives at musgrave serious crime suite. that was simon byrne, who leads the police service of northern ireland. assistant chief constable mark mcewan gave more detail to the bbc�*sjulian o'neill about what happened last night. around eight o'clock last night, we saw thatjohn was finishing up from coaching an under—iss football team. he was accompanied by his young son and had been putting footballs into the boot of his car when two gunmen appeared, fired multiple shots. john ran a short distance and, as he fell to the ground, the gunmen continued to fire shots at him. as we said earlier, again, we would like to acknowledge the assistance and brave actions of one member of the public who gave first aid.

and to members of the ambulance service. at this time, there were many children and young people awaiting pick—up by their parents, and those children ran for cover in sheer terror towards the centre. in terms of the ongoing threat assessment that you mentioned, that is... we work against a threat level of substantial, which means that an attack is likely. we continue to review that, and as an investigation goes on, we continue to work these moves. the northern ireland secretary chris heaton—harris says he plans to travel to the region in the wake of the shooting. it was a cowardly and callous attack that happened last night. a very senior and well—known local police officer is now in critical condition in hospital and our thoughts are with him and his family and everybody in the policeing community and actually the community of omagh

is completely shocked by this because society has moved on in northern ireland. there is no place for violence like this. are you concerned about the safety of officers in the light of this? well, i am always concerned about the safety of psni officers but i know that they are completely professional. i know that in all my experiences with them, they know exactly what they are doing and they are policing the communities of northern ireland really effectively and very well. but this is a really significant event. it's a very serious event, and it's difficult to underline how cowardly these people are. some hotels in skegness are being boarded up ahead of a protest this weekend. five hotels in the town are being

used to house asylum seekers. a demonstration on saturday as being coordinated by a far—right group. the town's mp says while the concerns over hotels are legitimate, this protest isn't the answer. jo makel has more. there is no doubt that the housing of asylum seekers in hotels in skegness has caused controversy here as it has in other parts of the country. but the protest planned for saturday brings a new dimension and also a new security measures. barriers like the ones you can see behind me have been put up some of the hotels involved. the organisation that is coordinating on saturday is called the patriotic alternative. they are a far right organisation which, on its website, is a saying that this will be a peaceful protest. there will be eight march and then speeches. it will demonstrate against the use of hotels in skegness. if describes

itself as promoting the rights of indigenous british people, but the group is accused of racism and stirring up hatred in places where asylum seekers are housed. this is what lincolnshire police told us. we what lincolnshire police told us. - recognise that it is a contentious issue and there are some genuine concerns amongst the community, but clearly for saturday, we want people to attend, have their speeches, but pleased do it in a peaceful way. the local mp has _ pleased do it in a peaceful way. the local mp has raised the issue of saturday's protest with parliament. there are of course very real concerns _ there are of course very real concerns about the use of hotels in the skegness area and on the seafront— the skegness area and on the seafront in particular to house people — seafront in particular to house people seeking asylum. but a protest that has— people seeking asylum. but a protest that has elements of the far right trying _ that has elements of the far right trying to— that has elements of the far right trying to hijack it is not, to me, the right— trying to hijack it is not, to me, the right way to express those concerns _ the right way to express those concerns. the right way to express those concerns— the right way to express those concerns. ,., ., , the right way to express those concerns. ., , concerns. the government has always said it doesn't — concerns. the government has always said it doesn't like _ concerns. the government has always said it doesn't like using _ concerns. the government has always said it doesn't like using hotels - said it doesn't like using hotels and it is an expensive way of housing asylum seekers, but it does have a legal duty to give them

somewhere to live if they would otherwise be destitute. and the backlog of people in the system awaiting their claim to be decided has now risen again to about 166,000 people. so it doesn't look as if the situation in places like skegness will be sorted out sometime soon. bbc look north. groups representing vulnerable people in the north east are calling on ministers not to allow rail stations to become unstaffed. pensioners and people with disabilities say they're concerned about what could happen if people need help or become ill when there are no rail staff around to help. helen richardson reports. frank harrison is from hartlepool and regularly travels by train. he's worried about the plans. there's no customer service if they do away with these ticket officers. i mean, you just look at the supermarkets, self scans, no customer service there whatsoever.

if they're doing away with staff on the trains, if somebody were to have a fit, it's a heart attack. with no onboard first aid crew, they will die. the department for transport wants to modernise the rail network through a huge range of measures. they include allowing more stations to be completely unmanned, allowing train companies to operate more trains with drivers only and without conductors, and also closing more ticket offices and replacing them with ticket machines. our research shows two million people are not on internet or do not have a smartphone. so we are depriving two million people from getting online train tickets. this is not acceptable. everyone has the right to travel, buy their ticket everyone has the right to travel,

buy their ticket at a ticket office who gives you advice information and gets you a cheaper ticket. the government argues that modernisation of the network is long overdue. in a statement, the department for transport told us everyone should be able to travel with confidence and the safety of passengers will be central to any reforms. but it remains a nervous time for many rail passengers awaiting the government's next move. we're told the plan won't be brought before parliament until may at the earliest. helen richardson, bbc look north. now, we're all looking for ways to reduce costs at the moment, so one couple from surrey have decided to move out of their rented home and instead buy a tiny eco—house on wheels. david westwood and becky warren say their outgoings have halved since they made the move. living in a tiny house has, i would say, drastically increased our quality of life. our outgoings are half of what they used to be.

we don't have that significant pressure of rent or mortgage. give it to me. he doesn't want to give it to me now. we just haven't really felt the pinch. i've been recording our journey in the tiny house on our youtube channel. we have the kitchen area, and that's the front of the house. our bathroom in there. and then at the other end of the house, we have our living space up the stairs, or ladder. you arrive at our main bedroom, watch your head, because there's not much headroom up here. people are interested in living in a tiny house and what that entails. i enjoy the freedom that it gives, the financial freedom, but also the physical freedom. it's a home. we love living here.

it gives us everything and more that a house or a flat could do. we're much more connected to outdoors. we travel a lot, and living in the tiny house gives us the capacity to be able to do that. the tiny house has had such a huge impact on our life. our quality of life has just increased dramatically. it's night and day. i can't ever imagine going back to a normal house again. in the us, a tv reporter and a nine—year—old girl have been fatally shot near orlando, florida, close to the scene of a murder that took place hours earlier. a second reporter and the girl's mother were shot and injured by the same gunman, who is also suspected of the other homicide, police say.

the police tweeted a picture of the suspect being arrested. they say the two spectrum news 13 journalists were covering the killing of a woman in the area that morning when the teenage suspect returned. cbs news correspondent, jarred hill, has more details. from what we're hearing from the local law enforcement, they say that this one woman was found shot to death inside of a car in this neighbourhood in orlando. a few hours later, the news crews were in the area covering that shooting when it said that a man came up randomly, it seems at least at this point, shot those two journalists. there were other reporters in the area covering this as well. they say they saw this happen. some of them even tried to help the two journalists that were shot. they say then that man went up the street not too far away, went to a house, walked in, shot a woman and her nine—year—old daughter. that nine—year—old daughter, as well as one of those journalists, later pronounced dead. it's not clear why these people were targeted. it is believed that this man did, in fact, know the initial

woman who was found dead. but why any of the rest of this happened is still unknown. the world's largest coffee chain, starbucks, is putting its own touch on italy's coffee scene. it's launching a line of olive oil—infused drinks. starbucks's chief executive howard schultz promises it will enhance coffee with an "unexpected, velvety, buttery flavour. gail maclellan reports. italy, one of the world's culinary capitals, the land of pasta, pecorino and gelato. but now one of its famed delights is about to get a makeover, courtesy of america's very own coffeehouse, starbucks. and they're calling it the oleato. translator: it's a strange idea, but there is something _

different about it. and in my opinion, it could appeal a lot more to foreigners than italians. translator: they are things that shouldn't go together, _ but it's good because i always like to taste something new. so for me, it's good. the oleato is made with arabica coffee—infused with a spoonful of parton, a cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. you can drink it as an iced, shaken espresso or even as a latte made from olive oil steamed with oat milk. starbucks launched in italy in 2015, but it struggled to win over customers. its new drink is not for italians alone. starbucks plans to bring their new recipe to southern california in the united states later in the spring. the united kingdom, the middle east and japan are set to follow later this year. so, if you're outside of italy, you won't miss out or be spared this instant classic. gail mcclellan, bbc news.

hmm. an extensive archive of david bowie's life, work and legacy will go on display to the public for the first time in 2025. the display at the victoria and albert museum in london will include more than 80,000 items from six decades of his career, including costumes, hand written lyrics and instruments. tim muffett reports. # it's a god awful small affair. # to the girl with the mousy hair.# he was so much more than just a singer. # and her daddy has told her to go.# david bowie, an icon of self—expression, creativity and reinvention. # now she walks through her sunken dream.# his extraordinary archive is to be brought together permanently for everyone to see. this archive will be protected in one place, so you can really see bowie as artist, performer,

musician, fashion stylist. everything. # this is ground control to major tom... from 2025, more than 80,000 items spanning six decades will form the david bowie archive, housed at a new david bowie centre for the study of performing arts in the queen elizabeth olympic park in east london. # now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare.# there-s— some remarkable objects. many, many, many costumes from the ziggy stardust to the aladdin sane. there are handwritten lyrics and notebooks, incredible documents that reveal the creative process behind songwriting, behind music videos, behind film—making. it shows innovation, as bowie did, in all art forms. ten years ago, a v&a exhibition brought together hundreds of bowie costumes and pieces of memorabilia. but that was temporary. this will be a permanent collection.

it's a privilege, but it will be a privilege for everyone. it will be there for visitors to enjoy for generations to come. he left us in 2016, but the influence of david bowie can still be seen and heard. # we could be heroes.# tim muffett, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there. we're not quite at meteorological spring just yet, but some very spring—like scenes for much of the uk today. blue sky, sunshine, crocuses in east lothian in scotland with more sunny skies in pembrokeshire in wales. and it's really across the central swathe of the uk that we're seeing the lion's share of the sunshine today, just sandwiched in between these two areas of cloud here. and that cloud is set to transfer its way further southwards, as will the sunshine. so, brightening up somewhat for southern somewhat

for southern counties of england. it will cloud overfor northern ireland and for much of eastern scotland. some rain moving into northwest scotland, with gales developing across the far north of scotland and into shetland. temperatures round about the seasonal average now — seven or eight degrees celsius for most, but with a bit of added wind chill. now, overnight tonight, then, our weather front is gradually sinking its way southwards. the skies will stay clearest for longest, i think, towards southern counties of england. here we will see a touch of frost. the skies clearing across northern scotland. but here we should stay largely frost—free. now, as we head through friday, our cold front is gradually sinking its way southwards, high pressure not too far away. it will turn really quite windy with a brisk northerly wind towards eastern coastal areas in particular. clouding over, that cloud, thickening towards southern areas of england and wales. across northern ireland, we could see one or two showers, maybe some of those showers wintry in nature across the higher ground of scotland. but a lot of sunny spells around for most of us and more

developing throughout the day. temperatures, in theory, a little bit higher, but with the added wind chill from that northerly wind, it is, for many, going to feel a lot colder, particularly towards exposed coastal areas. now, the high pressure not too far away at all. it's gradually building in from the west as we head through the weekend. so it is looking largely dry towards east and coastal areas. towards east and coastal areas, then, we are expecting quite a brisk northerly wind to still be blowing. it's going to blow that cloud further westwards as we head throughout the day. so, clouding overfor many temperatures starting to slip for most as well, but still just below the seasonal average as we head through the weekend and on sunday, not a lot is set to change. the high pressure becomes more established as we head through into the start of next week. so, again, it is looking largely dry. as you can see from our outlook, the best of the sunshine in the west, cloudier and windier further east.

this is bbc news. the headlines... three people have been arrested following the shooting of a senior police officer in northern ireland. john caldwell was shot in front of his son at a sports centre in omagh. our primary focus is on violent dissident republicans and, within that, a group called new ira. over 160,000 uk asylum seekers are waiting for a decision on their case — a new record figure. labour leader sir keir starmer has set out five national missions for britain, saying his party will help the country �*get its future back�* if he becomes prime minister. legendary football commentator john motson has died aged 77.
