the significance of this chair is rooted in its age and the centuries of history that it embodies. there's one vital part of this historic chair which has still to be added. it's the stone of scone, the ancient slab of sandstone on which scottish kings used to be crowned, which on coronation day will restjust here, underneath the seat on which king charles will be crowned. on coronation day itself, a stage, a platform will have been built in that area in front of the high altar, and the coronation chair will be there, the centre of attention, facing the high altar for the most solemn parts of the service — the crowning and the anointing. it will be the coronation of a british king. a religious service tailored in some respects to modern times, but honouring the centuries of tradition represented

by the chair, which will be its centrepiece. nicholas witchell, bbc news, westminster abbey. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. chilly today but there is colder weather on the way as we head into next week. today is the first day of meteorological spring, it's also st david's day and it's been pretty cloudy. the cloud is thick enough to give us more showers around today. still got high—pressure close by so the really wet weather is being deflected into southern parts of europe. that's the storm that brought all of the rain we saw in majorca, that's moving away. just to the north of that there is clear skies. it looks like we will tap into some of that tonight and tomorrow, so may be some changes on the way. today the winds are coming in from off the north sea, picking up in from off the north sea, picking up a lot of cloud. that's pushing our way. the best sunshine in western scotland. the cloud still

ringing quite a peppering of showers in those temperatures are still 8—9. filling chilly given the winds are a bit stronger today. we see some changes overnight. this is the drier continental air, changes overnight. this is the drier continentalair, clearerskies changes overnight. this is the drier continental air, clearer skies will push into east anglia, the south—east, the midlands. we will see a few showers elsewhere but we'll also see some clearer skies coming into northern parts of scotland. a frosty, temperatures close to freezing by morning in east anglia and the south—east but at least there will be some early sunshine at least. still a few showers around. these are more likely in south—east scotland, north—east england and northern ireland. the cloud increasing through the day in the midlands and east anglia. sunshine in parts of wales in the northern half of scotland. temperatures not really changing too much. the winds will be lighterfor changing too much. the winds will be lighter for tomorrow. weather still shaped by this big area of high pressure. it has been with us all week. still be close by to end the week. still be close by to end the week. not many isobars, the winds

are still light but a slight change in the wind direction could mean more cloud around on friday. there mayjust be one or two like showers coming from the cloud. best of the sunshine looks like being in central parts of scotland after a frosty start. those are the temperatures again around 8—9. as we head into the weekend we've still got high—pressure close by. at the centre of the high, it's going to drift away towards iceland which allows this with a front to move down, thickening cloud during the second half of the weekend. a lot of cloud around this weekend. it may be dry on saturday. the cloud thickening, temperatures dropping on sunday and with that we could see a bit of wintry weather. colder air to come. it's not an easterly wind but next week a northerly wind. that will make it feel colder and yes there is the chance some snow. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me —

spoke to duncan mccann — a campaignerfor children's digital safety charity the 5rights foundation who began by telling me the positive impact that youtube has on children. i think youtube is an important service, and indeed during the pandemic it really came into its own, the school was often sending the kids to enhance their learning on youtube. so, i tend to believe that you chew can provide benefits. what i am concerned about is the way that you tube in fact gathers data and tracks its users, and then specifically with regard to children, how they profile those users in order to serve them more content, because ultimately the commercial interests of youtube are to keep users on there for as long as possible. that's how they monetise their users and how they make money, but that's certainly not the best interest of the child, and indeed the children's code,

which was mentioned in zoe's piece, requires that platforms always offer privacy to the best interests of the child. now, youtube says it has invested in protecting families, it says this includes treating all children's content of their children were reviewing it, even on an adult�*s account. does that go some way to allay your concerns? yeah, i mean i've been working on this issue for over three years with youtube, and i totally acknowledge that they have made some important changes to the platform which have made improvements, but this really fundamental question about how they are processing the data, what they are processing, and indeed the kids video relies on the producer of the video to label it for kids, and all the evidence is that once you label it for kids, the revenue goes down, which creates a huge disincentive to label it. so, i totally acknowledge that they have made changes, but often they are piecemeal, and what they haven't really addressed is this fundamental issue

that youtube wants to kind of have their cake and eat it. they want a platform, they want is children on there because ultimately they are part of the revenue, but they don't want to do the hard work which the law requires for how you most get the right permissions, the right legal basis, for processing outdated. so, all i'm arguing is that youtube cannot have their cake and eat it, they to decide whether under 13—year—olds are on the platform and they want to keep them there for the revenue or whether they want to not do the hard work to process the data legally, but then they should do more to keep them off the site. you talk about revenue, of course any tech company needs to gather this data in order to sell ads, in order to make money, in order to continue to exist. so, it's a difficult one, isn't it? tell us more about your suggestions for not

just youtube but tech companies were generally on how they deal with this question. i generally on how they deal with this cuestion. ~ ., generally on how they deal with this cuestion. ~' . ,., , question. i think we have partly entered a _ question. i think we have partly entered a world _ question. i think we have partly entered a world where - question. i think we have partly entered a world where the - question. i think we have partly entered a world where the idea | question. i think we have partly i entered a world where the idea we should just gather all data that we can, even if we don't have a particular use for it today, or it has kind of grown, we are in a new kind of inflection point where laws like gdp are, but also the children's code here in the uk, actually is forcing services to think differently about how they gathered data. privacy and the data we share is really important and valuable, so we are moving to a new world where data is going to be less ubiquitous. youtube could function perfectly well without having to mine the data of children, and in terms of adverts, as well, they could show contextual adverts, which

they already do for children now, so that's a positive change they have already made. that's a positive change they have already made-— that's a positive change they have alread made. , a ., already made. duncan mccann, there, campaigning — already made. duncan mccann, there, campaigning for— already made. duncan mccann, there, campaigning for digital— campaigning for digital children's safety. time now for another story from the bbc�*s "we were there" collection of first—hand accounts and memories of world war two. today we tell the story of olive mitton. olive was just 1a when she landed a job as a messenger girl at bletchley park, home of top secret code breakers. tim muffett has been finding out more. you see, that's where all the listeners were, up here, yeah. bletchley park, a place where codes were cracked, secret nazi messages revealed, and the course of world war two altered. yeah. oh, yeah, over there. that's where it used to be. it was also where 94—year—old olive mitton landed her firstjob

during the second world war. there were 1a messengers, and i think i'm the only one that's left. all the others have gone. tell us about the work you were doing here. i had to sort the mail out and then deliver it three times in the morning and three times in the afternoon. come back from my rounds, sort the mail out again into the pigeonholes ready for the next one. did you have any idea as to what was in those envelopes which you were taking around? none at all, none at all. it was just kept secret. they've made a lovely place of it now. olive was 1a when she got the job. she'd onlyjust left school. thanks to codebreakers such as alan turing and captured german enigma machines that enabled encrypted nazi messages to be understood, the envelopes olive sorted and delivered almost certainly contained information that changed history.

being able to decipher nazi communications had a huge impact during world war two, and some of the specific details as to how that was done are still officially secret. but it's clear it wasn't just the codebreakers who played a key role here. so, what bletchley park is rather thanjust a codebreaking centre, it's better described as a sort of information management system. it takes foreign communications in and it outputs intelligence. someone like olive, what she was doing, taking these messages around the site, i mean, how important was that role? well, it's vital because, of course, there are so many different components of the organisation here. it's a very complex web of connections and all these people have to be joined up. so olive's was just as important as anyone else's role here. without the people at every level of the organisation, none of the system works.

just like olive did, megan goes to school nearby and has been helping us illustrate olive's work here. megan, what's it like to meet someone who has actually worked here for real? it's really nice. i think it's amazing that someone who's14 was doing a job that maybe most 14—year—olds nowadays wouldn't have done. bletchley park was also where olive met the love of her life, thomas. i used to say, "i'd like to go out with him." and then i married him. we used to just sit on the bank. it brings back lots of memories. the work that went on at bletchley park remained secret for many years after world war two. now it's open to visitors. interactive displays tell its story. but those who worked here did so in the shadows. she doesn't like to talk a lot

about what she did during the war because she doesn't see it as anything particularly special or noteworthy. but now that it's come out that the work that was happening at bletchley park, it was essential to the war effort and nan was a part of making bletchley park run smoothly. she might not have been a code—breaker, but she was assisting them so that they could do their work efficiently. it's a place that for many years did not officially exist, yet helped the allies win the war and gave olive a job which would change her life. tim muffett, bbc news, bletchley park. our thanks to olive for sharing her story — and we'd love to hear more like that. if you served in the second world war — or you know someone who did — you can get in touch via the bbc website.

some of the story is making the news across the uk. a woman who lost her sister in the manchester arena bombing says her family feel let down at every level by failings made before the attack. the final report from the arena inquiry will be published tomorrow and it will focus on whether m15 should've done more to prevent the atrocity back in 2017. claire booth went to the ariana grande concert with her teenage daughter hollie and sister kelly brewster — who was one of the 22 people tragically killed. our reporter mat trewern has interviewed claire about her sister, and the ongoing inquiry. she was a firecracker. life and soul of every party that she ever went to. loved to travel, be at concerts, nights out. she was just a brilliant

little sister, really. she was at a really good point of her life and just bought a house on the 22nd of may. it's been a long inquiry. how difficult has it been to be there day in, day out and reliving that that night over and over again? so many times i thought that can't. .. you can't surprise me after this. there's been that many surprises. that's got to be it. listening to kelly's last moments. she didn't die straight away, which wasjust... heartbreaking to know and to listen to. we feel completely let down as a family at every level.

we had, right from m15, gmp, btp, the arena show, sec. everybody failed to protect us on that night and we will never, ever forgive any of them for putting our family in that position. i think what... they have literally blown a hole in the middle of our family and we'll never get over that. we just feel so let down by everybody. we know that kelly and you and holly went into the city room just a few seconds before the explosion and and kelly's injuries weren't survivable. but do you feel that kelly should be here now? would be here now if it wasn't for mistakes made before the bombing? yeah. 1,000,000%. yeah.

you know... i can't feel any stronger about that. i don't take away from the fact that it was the adebis that did this. but there were so many factors where it could have been stopped or deterred. obviously, we've had holly who is horrificly injured. she's just had her 20th operation. she's got some more in the pipeline. she lives in pain every single day. and it might as well have been yesterday for her. teachers across the midlands have joined the strike action in a dispute over pay and conditions. members are calling for above inflation pay increases and school

projects. the government says it will only hold further talks if strikes are recalled. our reporters into a rally in birmingham city centre. they've come here to stage a rally. lots of teachers are overworked, rose _ lots of teachers are overworked, rose understaffed, our children are so vulnerable and they deserve the best _ so vulnerable and they deserve the best. ~ ., ~' so vulnerable and they deserve the best. ~ ., ~ ., , ., best. working conditions are startina best. working conditions are starting to — best. working conditions are starting to get _ best. working conditions are starting to get more - best. working conditions are l starting to get more strenuous best. working conditions are - starting to get more strenuous and more colleagues are leaving the profession, which means our young people and their most vulnerable people and their most vulnerable people in society are getting a poor deal. teachers are constantly digging i

into their own pockets now as well because even trying to buy basic equipment such as pencils, glue i sticks and paper, it's becoming i so much more difficult because there just isn't enough money for it. this is the message. this must happen in order for this to happen. i'm joined by mary bousted. mary, can you talk to us about why you think these ongoing strikes are so important? they are really important because we have to make the this delete government realise that it's got to invest in our teachers. it's got to pay them properly for the essential work they do. and this will obviously be causing some disruption for parents today. what would you say to them? i apologise to parents for any disruption caused. i know it's difficult for them. we wouldn't be out here if the government were prepared to come to the table and negotiate. that is what we want. as you said, the government has said they will negotiate if the neu calls off the strikes and they've said they've pledged an extra £2 billion in funding for schools. what is your response to that? the £2.3 billion was welcomed but it only keeps schools open at the current rates of inflation. and, yeah, we want the government to negotiate and to drop the condition that we have to give up the strikes because the strikes are the only thing which has got the government to the position where they are prepared to negotiate.

mary, thank you so much forjoining us. thank you. tomorrow, there is going to be further regional action elsewhere in the uk and there are two days of national action planned for the 15th and 16th of march. a man from gwynedd has become the uk's first honorary university lecturer with an intellectual disability. paul taylor is also autistic, and gives trainee nurses a unique insight into the needs of people with learning disabilities and autism. he's also working with university staff on their academic research. chris dearden has been to meet him. i'm here to talk to you today about my experiences as a leader... another lecture, another day in the life of bangor university. these students are training to be learning disability nurses. but this lecture is a uk first. ..about my experiences. the man giving it is paul taylor, a first honorary lecturer who has an intellectual disability himself. and one day these students will be looking after people like paul taylor in hospitals and in the community. today, they're hearing what it was like for him when he's been in hospital and getting first—hand advice on how to listen

and communicate with people who have a learning disability, or ld for short. i think it's good to help them to improve, to improve it by telling stories about my life with id, or ld. paul taylor was formerly made an honorary lecturer last december, but the role doesn'tjust mean talking to students. he also helps to interview new people who want to do the course next year, and he'll be going to conferences with colleagues and presenting new research papers. it's the first time i've been in class with paul today, so it was really exciting that we are now kind of really working together and you know, the world is his oyster really at his pace, learning from what he wants to do, what we can do to support him. everybody has potential and paul has great potential to give a lot to the university, which i'm really proud of. away from his academic career, paul also volunteers in this charity

shop in his home city of bangor. the idea of working in the university was originally his. he approached the academics, saying he wanted others to understand how a learning disability affects people and the way they feel. he's now looking at ways to develop his university work in the future. in the next half an hour or so we will be heading to brighton where we are expecting police to will be heading to brighton where we are expecting polic— are expecting police to hold a news conference- — are expecting police to hold a news conference. you _ are expecting police to hold a news conference. you see _ are expecting police to hold a news conference. you see the _ are expecting police to hold a news i conference. you see the microphones lined up there, about the missing baby after the arrest of constance martin and mark gordon. there will be in a statement from the metropolitan police and the sussex police who will be holding a joint

should see clearer skies into northern scotland, across east anglia in the south—east and bridges will be farfrom anglia in the south—east and bridges will be far from freezing by thursday morning, but there will be some early sunshine. showers tomorrow, maybe one or two from northern ireland, cloud may increase through the day, some sunshine for southern england and parts of wales, and also the northern areas of scotland. the winds will be lighted tomorrow, temperatures that they have been for over the past few days, typically around america to 9 celsius.
