(cheering and applause). it took all night but countries from around the world finally agreed on how to protect the high seas. high seas are international waters that are controlled by any nation, they make up controlled by any nation, they make up two—thirds of the world's oceans and play host to most of the marine life of the planet, 2 million

6:22 am
speak the same language", reports the mail on sunday. the paper describes the comments as a "new blow to the king". and one of the most popular stories on the bbc news website this morning also relates to the royals. it's the news that pubs, clubs and bars across england and wales will stay open into the early hours to allow people to "enjoy an extra pint or two" over the coronation weekend in may. it is funny, when you talk about things staying open extra time, a lot of people falling out of cabs this morning. they don't need the coronation to have a good time. good on them, i coronation to have a good time. good on them. i say- _ budding journalists have a chance to get their stories heard, as the bbc young reporter competition returns for another year. it's aimed at 11— to 18—year—olds

think people actually always think about that. also i think there is this perception that you need to be really, really strong. you need to be stronger for your side but due to the machinery now, any disadvantage of how or strong you are has gone. i went to dublin when i was seven years old, i think, and we went to a holiday cottage and met some really lovely people. when i was about 13, i was like, i need to do this more often, i don'tjust want to do this on a holiday so i wrote e—mails to two local farms i got from on a holiday so i wrote e—mails to two localfarms i got from google and saying what experience i had previously had, who i was and they said, do you want to come and meet us and they never got rid of me. we were so us and they never got rid of me. -

after one of the first ships to bring a thousand people from the west indies to britain, the boat became a symbol for generation of people who settled here from 19 88 to 1971 and this year is a pretty important one for britain as it marks the 75th anniversary of the boats first arrival. some of the new arrivals were housed in clapham but many found accommodation in nearby brixton after travelling to the labour exchange to find work. brixton was like little jamaica. like a home away from home? yes. brixton was like little jamaica. like a home away from home? yes, you could aet like a home away from home? yes, you could get everything _ like a home away from home? yes, you could get everything you _ like a home away from home? yes, you could get everything you need _ like a home away from home? yes, you could get everything you need is - like a home away from home? yes, you could get everything you need is a - could get everything you need is a black person in brixton, everything, from food to skincare, music, it didn't matter what, you wanted it, it was black come to brixton. that sense of community _ it was black come to brixton. that sense of community was really important people new to the country. definitely, definitely. it’s

6:44 am
100%, it's a vibe, it doesn't matter what it is, hard times, sad times, it's still a vibe. so, whatever yourjam is, in london there are no shortage of ways to dive in and get a taste of island life. what better place when my journey then here with the good people, the good times and the good vibes? now we party. as well as the 75th anniversary of windrush, here are some other big events happening around london in the summer. head to london at the end of august for the biggest celebration of caribbean culture at the notting hill carnival. the two—day festival takes over most of the neighbourhood, the streets filled with music,

6:46 am
next up is the incredible journey one man makes to become the first disabled person to complete the world marathon challenge. you've crossed 18 time zones, you've got to do it all than 168 hours, you are eating, sleeping, recovering as best you can on the plane. we flew into antarctica on russian cargo plane. the plane door opens and instantly you could feel the wind and you could feel the biting kind of temperature kick again. at that point i was a little bit overwhelming, so i was wondering, how is this going to work? is this going to work? just off the course because of the weather, some are doing more up and down in loops now. i'm paralysed from the chest down, i can't feel or move below my chest. the big challenge with that is
6:47 am
that in temperatures of —20 and below you are potentially going to get frostbite. so, i needed to get moving, get my heated socks on, get the battery pack on and get going. we set off on the start line, with the wind without strong, i felt confident, this was first kind of lap and so, ifeel good, ifeel like i got this, then suddenly you're coming back into the wind and you feel any exposed skin was starting to toughen to the temperature. when people were walking past me, it was demoralising, because i was giving it every ounce of physical energy and physicalforce and strength i think i had, but that was always going to be the case, i knew that for me the challenge would be a lot different to anybody else. we have darren edwards coming into the finish after his first marathon. we finished the marathon, i finished in five hours 50 and i was exhausted. congratulations, darren. it was only when you're
6:48 am
on the plane in the air moving back to cape town that it was the realisation that this was not a one—off. we were about to find ourselves back out on the cape town promenade lined up ready to do marathon number two on day two. making it today two has been an effort. 2am last night right, out on the streets we had a nightmare with the bike this morning, but it's all good. we made it to the start line. nearly made it to the start line. made it to the startline, there we go! cape town itself is a stunning city, i never been to south africa, all of a sudden you're running along the promenade with table mountain off to one hand side, you've got
6:49 am
the gorgeous ocean off to your left, you're going from —20 the day before to temperatures up to 30. the temperature difference really difficult. the plane that we use is a private charter plane. i've never been on a charter plane in my life. in my head i was thinking of something a bit g5 like billionaire like, it wasn't, just pretty much an old easyjet plane that had been transformed into a charter plane. sleeping was difficult, near impossible at times. the only thing on your side with the fact that you were exhausted. it's pretty much the case, as soon as you land you are getting the baggage off, from landing to start
6:50 am
in the marathon we had two hours, finishing the marathon to getting back on the plane we had three hours. we are going to do marathon numberfour. we will be in dubai for less then 14 hours. madrid was day five. you know you have this one and then two left. psychologically that was good because you are over the hump, but because we had been held up logistically in south africa we found ourselves biding our time, all of a sudden we're doing five marathons in four days. we're getting off the bus, going, here we go, let's do it. why didn't know was that behind me, my fiance and my future father—in—law had turned up, and i had no idea. it was a really lovely surprise. psychologically, a really great boost.
6:51 am
how are you feeling? yeah, it's hard work today. yeah? technical course? it's a tough course because of the potholes and the incline and the speed bumps — the speed knock the speed out. great effort, keep it up. so, by day six, you've been living with these people pretty much 24/7 for six days, so everybody was kind of each other�*s cheerleader. even when the heat and humidity was hot and your mouth was dry and you really didn't feel like talking, people would always find that second to say, "come on. "you're looking good. "you're looking strong." you don't know the impact those words having someone who might be on the verge of thinking, "can i do this? "am i going to give up?" packing for the final time.
6:52 am
well, they're backing for the final time, i'm just doing this. but, yeah, this is the last flight before — no, this is a flight to miami. seven marathons will be done just about. seven marathons will be done in 7 days just about. this was it. i had this amount of energy left in the reserve tanks to give and i wanted to finish marathon seven with nothing left to give. i wanted to give everything i had to know that i'd left it all out the field. the track was lined with people cheering and whooping. the banner is out across the track which says world marathon challenge finish, you know, 2023. it was a mixture of relief, joy. for me, i was so scared of failing this challenge. it's something i'd never done before — i'd never done a single
6:53 am
marathon, let alone seven. there is another version of me in hospital right now who's just had whatever it is that change their life, hopefully just had whatever it is that changed their life, hopefully i can show them that injury and disability doesn't stop ambition, it doesn't stop having aspiration, doesn't stop you from dreaming big when you have a spinal cord injuries life doesn't stop when something doesn't go to plan and changes your life. congratulations to darren edwards there. now, next up, we're in new york to mark the 170th anniversary of one of the world's most famous piano makers. new york is known for its rich musical culture, from its legendaryjazz and piano bars to all the live performances. over the years, it has been a major draw to the big apple. and there is one instrument that is synonymous with new york city, and that's...
6:54 am
well, instrument is that? the steinway piano. you agree? yes, i do. ok, so he would know — that's jay leonhart, a musician who has played with many of the greats across his remarkable career. my first real professional gay was forjudy garland, leave it or not. no way. stop it! in 1963, 64. but that's not all. tony bennett, paxson archer. peggy lee, sting. oh, my god. what do you think makes a steinway piano so iconic? well, we all think it's because it's handmade. we play all the other pianos and they play nicely but nothing sounds like a steinway. cheering and applause. this year marks steinway�*s
6:55 am
170th anniversary. today, it is regarded as one of the big four piano makers and i've come to take a peek inside its massive factory here in queens, in new york. this factory has been in operation for over 150 years and the processes they created all those years ago were so perfect and so ahead of their time that they still use many of the same techniques today. what's going on here? what are you up to here? i am key weighing. key weighing? balancing the keys. without the weights, you cannot play, the keys are too heavy, which would give you copper tone. you have 88 keys. every key is like me and you. every one is different. none are the same. this tells me how much weight. i have to find the right position, you see? then i have to check the return,
6:56 am
then i mark. a piano can be big and bold. and it can be the daintiest little instrument to boot. and my goal is to just make this piano as even and pleasing sounding. ever since i came here, i thought this was the job that i was meant to do, because i love the piano so much, and i love music. who could ask for anything more? before the pandemic, there was a year long waiting list to visit the factory. tours have stopped for now but there are plans to bring it back, so stay tuned. so, i'm a fifth generation steinway. my great—grandfather ran a company and my great—great—grandfather founded the company. it was a classic
6:57 am
immigration story — there are more opportunities here. you wasn't a rich man, he wasn't a poor man, he was a tradesman. and his trade was piano making. if ever there was a case study for the great american dream, miles's family could be it. in fact, my double great—grandfather never learned english. didn't have to. he lived in a german—speaking milieu. he was also illiterate. he didn't need to learn to read and write because he knew had to use a hammer and chisel. he grew into the company grew through it. through the years, the spirit of opportunity has remained. it's a true new york story and it's a very new york place. we have people coming from all over the world to work here. about approximately 75% immigrant workforce. there is a little bit of magic here, but i think even more important than the magic is what creates that magic, and it's the fact you have all these people with these skills that have learned them from many decades, and if you are to move somewhere, unless you are able to bring all those people
6:58 am

good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: the steepest rises in rail fares for a decade start england and wales today despite record levels of delays and cancellations. a historic agreement is reached to protect the world's oceans following ten years of negotiations. the latest leak of whatsapp messages show that the former heath secretary matt hancock suggested "frightening the pants off everyone" when announcing a new strain of covid. late, late drama at the top of the premier league. as arsenal come from two goals down to beat bournemouth and stay top, sparking joy for their manager, fans,

and a former player. carnival stop they have done it! alright! another cloudy and chilly day today, a few more showers around as well but early next week, showers will be falling as snow in some areas, it will get much colder and some ice around. join me laterfor all the details. it's sunday 5th march. our main story. rail fares are going up today — in their steepest increase for more than a decade, despite record levels of delays and cancellations. regulated railfares are rising by 5.9% in england and wales, adding hundreds of pounds to the cost of many annual season tickets. but the government said it had made its biggest ever intervention, to keep the increase well below inflation. here's our transport correspondent katy austin. all aboard for another
7:02 am
fare increase. 5.9%. oh god. it cost me almost an hour of my hourly rate just to buy my return tickets. a monthly ticket is £600, they're not always on time, most of the time cancelled and delayed. for me it is the cumulative effect not just the price of ticket, price of tickets, price of rent and everything else. i'm a student so i'm obviously trying to save money so it does sap. trying to be green, trying not to use your car which is costing more and more. if the increment will make it reliable, that's ok. - the 5.9% cap covers nearly half of fares in england and wales, including most season tickets, a decision hasn't yet been made in scotland. the government says it has made sure the rise is well below the rate of inflation it would normally be based on but it's the biggest increase for 11 years and comes
7:03 am
as people are facing a host of cost of living pressures. passengers have also endured a period of worsening reliability with record cancellation rates and a series of strikes. even before this current fare rise, passengers on the whole did not see train travel as great value for money. what customers and passengers want is, yes, a affordable railway but value for money is about having a reliable, functional railway as well. and for several months now it's not been good enough. train companies' representatives said the industry was working hard to make the network more reliable. it's a time of challenges and change on the railway, more working from home means less commuting and season—ticket sales are at less than a third of what they were before the pandemic. flexible alternatives have already come in and trials of things like scrapping return tickets are coming down the track. with fares going up and up, passengers want to see service levels going that way too. katy austin, bbc news.

after 15 years of talks, members of the un have reached a landmark agreement to safeguard the world's oceans. the treaty will create protected areas covering 30% of the high seas, or international waters, by the end of the decade. the deal was struck after a final 38—hour push at un headquarters in new york last night. our climate reporter, esme stallard, reports. the ship has reached the shore. cheering and applause. it took all night but countries from around the world finally agreed on how to protect the high seas. high seas are international waters that aren't controlled by any nation. they make up two—thirds of the world's oceans and play host to most of the planet's marine life of the planet,
7:05 am
some 2 million species. until now, all countries had a right to fish, ship and research in these areas, but it has left the animals and plants living there vulnerable, around 10% of monitored species are at risk of extinction. i think that this treaty that will lay the groundwork for creating 30% of the ocean into marine sanctuaries, that cannot be fished in, is so important. we have to save these creatures. talks were deadlocked for years, mostly over how genetic material from plants and animals found in the high seas should be shared between nations. several important drugs, including treatments for covid—19, hiv and cancer were developed from marine life, the potential for profit is huge. but no—one knows how much ocean resources are truly worth, nor how they could be split. it's a little bit hard even wrap our heads around how big and how distant these areas are.
7:06 am
if you imagine like a big high—definition widescreen tv, and only three or four of the pixels on that giant screen are working, that's kind of our knowledge of the deep oceans, we don't know so much what is going on. countries will need to meet again to formally adopt the treaty but for many, now there will be much relief. esme stallard, bbc news. intense fighting is continuing in the ukrainian city of bakhmut. ukrainian forces are trying to repel russian attempts to take control of the city, with troops fighting in the streets. thousands of civilians are believed to be in bakhmut without access to gas, electricity or water. the former health secretary matt hancock told aides he wanted to "frighten the pants off everyone" to ensure compliance with covid—19 restrictions, in the latest leaked messages to be published in the sunday telegraph.
7:07 am
the whatsapp exchanges show how mr hancock and others discussed how to use an announcement about the kent variant in december 2020, to scare the public into changing their behaviour. our political correspondent helen catt reports. for several days, the telegraph has been publishing leaked messages sent between the former health secretary matt hancock and others during the pandemic. with the latest batch, they accuse mr hancock and his team of engaging in a kind of project fear. on 14 december, 2020, mr hancock announced the existence of the kent variant of coronavirus, it had been growing as a proportion of cases, including in london where there was a steep rise. the sunday telegraph has published a message exchange from the day before where mr hancock appears to discuss potential resistance by the mayor of lockdown in the city. his aide suggests "rather than doing too much signalling, we can roll the pitch with the new strain."
7:08 am
mr hancock replies, "we frighten the pants off everyone with the new strain." the paper published a message from the head of the civil service simon case sent the following month during the third lockdown. in it he talks about... adding. the messages were leaked to the paper by the journalist isabel oakeshott who has been a vocal critic of lockdowns, she said it was in the public interest, others disagreed. a former adviser to mr hancock responding to the publication of some of his messages in the article said promoting caution had been basic common sense. in a statement, mr hancock said that he had given his material to the covid—19 enquiry which he said was the right and only place for everything to be considered properly. helen catt, bbc news. rishi sunak has pledged that migrants will be deported with new laws announced this week.

at this morning's weather. the point in the morning when i wonder if those pictures are from this morning? those are from this morning in nottinghamshire, pretty cloudy out there once again, at the moment many places are dry, we will see more showers around today in the uk, keep a lot of cloud around as well, looking at the radar over the past few hours, some showers for scotland, wintry over the hills and shells hitting the pennines, also wintry flavour as well. showers will push to wales and the south—west of england, showers for scotland and a few running down the eastern coast of england, as in sunshine more likely central and scotland later for more than england but another cloudy day, typical images 5 or 6 , a degrees higher than that for western scotland and over the irish sea. a few more showers overnight
7:44 am
but some changes, the band of rain sleet and snow moving down scotland and following that snow showers and ahead of that with the clearing skies across eastern england, frosty are colder than last night and a frost as it gets for northern scotland. here, the wind is picking up scotland. here, the wind is picking up as well and a northerly wind pushing across the whole of the country coming from the arctic and thatis country coming from the arctic and that is really going to drop the temperatures early in the week. the cold air comes behind the band of mostly brain as it moves across into england and wales, head of a few showers to the north some sunshine and snow showers to low levels quite and snow showers to low levels quite a range of temperatures could make 8 across southern parts of england and wales, only 2 for northern scotland where it will be windy and snowing. into the night on monday night, a risk of snow across southern parts of england before the damp weather moves away, an icy start to a cold start to tuesday,
7:45 am
many places may be dry with sunshine, you can see snow showers piling across northern scotland down the eastern side of england, the sort of temperatures we are looking at on tuesday, typically 4 or 5, colder than today. when you factor in the colder wind we will have down northern scotland in the east coast of england much colder feeling. skies clear overnight and we need to think about frosty weather, widespread sharp frost, gardeners aware dashmac aware could be as low as —10 for scotland. here is what to come with the snow, these areas in the firing line of that cold northerly wind from the arctic, northern scotland over the high ground as much as 20 centimetres by the end tuesday. it looks like one to keep an eye on. from carp, to curiosities, rivers are home to many

7:49 am
their achievements are rightly celebrated. this is the only accredited museum in the uk dedicated to women's history, and it's filled with books that are about, for or by women. 20,000 books and 500,000 archived items here are providing a valuable resource for researchers and historians. spencer: amongst all of that, you will find stories about some amazing women. like this one. i'm a bit of a fan of ada lovelace. when i learned to program computers when i was young, i could practise on the computers i had around at the time. but when ada lovelace wrote the very first algorithm in the 18405, computers didn't even exist. her code was designed to run on a theoretical machine that only existed on paper. so this week, we're celebrating the achievements of female tech innovators. shiona mccallum has been catching up with a female sporting icon to talk about some new tech
7:50 am
that's helping players and coaches collaborate on court. shiona: in tennis, every little thing counts. and that can really be felt here, at the billiejean king cup finals in glasgow. with more than 100 countries involved, it is the largest annual international team competition in women's sport. this year, it was won by switzerland. they were amongst the teams embracing billiejean's collaboration with microsoft to add another layer to their in—match coaching during games. analytics of all aspects of the game are being generated from ball—tracking cameras and 3d radar systems around the court. the data can then be accessed via cloud platform azure, meaning professionals and their coaches can see it in a real—time during their play. so, can this technology really improve your game? well, i'm going to go and test it out,
7:51 am
and i'll do this by playing one of my long—standing rivals... i'm ready for this, yeah. ..my dad. my backhand is my best shot 5o...i am excited to see what the data says. although i am far from being a professional. oh, yes, what a shot! i have noticed that you do favour your backhand a bit, and you are quite strong in your backhand5. on the return of serve, you're still dropping it a little bit short, but as soon as you've gone into that third ball, look at that shot — you have a tendency to really push it deep, push it wide. it does result in some points won for you right there. if you're a player, among the things you always want to know are:
7:52 am
where should i be serving and what 5peed5 do i need to hit to be able to serve an ace? you also want to know what side your opponent is stronger on, where they serve on certain big point5, and how they position themselves on the court. it's thought by looking at all these stats and really drilling into the information that is provided, tactics and strategies, movement, shots and ball 5peed5 can all be fine—tuned, and you can get as close to winning as possible. and someone who certainly knows a thing or two about winning i5 billiejean king. with 39 grand slam titles, she is a legend of the game. how much of a better player do you think you may have been if you'd had access to this? gasps so much better. i was very adaptable and i could learn quickly if someone showed me something, and i loved challenges. so adaptable, you can set it up any way you want. you can find out about your rpms, how much spin on the ball, you can find out trajectory, you can find out percentage
7:53 am
of first and second serves. and what do you say to critics that might say, well, they want to keep tennis a bit more traditional, this is almost cheating? not happening. i think it will hurt our sport if we went that way. everyone talks about mistakes all the time, but you first want to know what your strength is. so there is a combination of things you can learn with the microsoft tablet. you want to look at, ok, what do i do really well? like your dad was getting the serve down the middle really well. but that verifies it so that you go, ok, i'm on the right track. but you've got to know your strengths in life — it really relates to life as well. but when you look there and you see these stats — i wish — oh, my god — i would have given anything to have what you guys have because i like all this, i love information, i love learning, i love all these things, and our generation, we couldn't even look at videos. and she's not the only one thinking that using this kind of tech can be beneficial.
7:54 am
coco gauff made headlines when she became the youngest player since 2005 to qualify for a wta finals. you've seen people lose matches in millimetres, and lose matches because they got aced in the same direction over and over again. i've certainly lost matches where i did not notice that i was getting served to the same spot because you are so caught up in your emotions at times. so, yeah, definitely, when you can see it, and, you know, when your coaches say it as well, some time you get stubborn out there so you don't believe it! but when you can see it for yourself, i think it is a different addition to it. these analytics, which are now available to the players, can not only enhance the competition, but can also give something to the fans. everybody in the stands should probably be seeing all this, that's what i'd like to see. children today and young people want experiences. what affords you experience? technology. do you see this really
7:55 am
the future of tennis? oh, for sure. it's here already. it's just going to get better and better. lara: paris. the romance... ..the culture... ..the food... ..the iconic sites. the biggest start—up campus in the world. this is station f, cemented in a city with a now—buzzing tech scene. this place plays host to 1,000 start—ups, and in this room alone, there are 3,500 desks and 30 incubators. it really is a place for ideas to thrive. landing yourself a space here doesn't come easily. it involves a stringent selection process where founders are generally expected
7:56 am
to be working on the product full time, have a prototype or something to show, and already have some users. there is even a green tech meet—up happening here in the midst of the open offices of investors and big tech companies. so, for apps that want to find their place on the app store, well, google's over there, apple's over there, so there's help close at hand. and five years in, 41% of the founders based here are female — a very different proportion to that of the wider international tech scene. every single partner programme that we have at station f needs to do its best effort to get females in the applicant pool, not necessarily selecting people because they are female — we actually discourage quotas like that at station f — but we believe that once you have more women as candidates, the conversion rate will be higher. dora founded blazer,
7:57 am
a parisian start—up using data to analyse early response to cancer treatment. being a founder of a start—up in medtech and an environment that typically is going to have more ceos that are men, can be a bit daunting for some founders, and the fact that station f has created this programme, i think demystifies a little bit. and this place has hatched all sorts of companies. i've come round the back to a hidden kitchen where i'm going to taste some vegan egg replacement. yeah, it's le papondu, it's a project that can replace egg, for a beaten egg, for example, to cook it like an omelette, scrambled egg, but also, different recipes. lovely — it looks like hollandaise sauce at the moment. the last time that i tried an egg replacement, it really tasted of coconut, so i'm looking forward to seeing what this tastes of. sheryline and her co—founder were biotech students when they won their place on the female fellowship programme here. as two scientists, they really wanted the entrepreneurial guidance to combine

with their knowledge of how to cook up something interesting. our main ingredient is fava bean flour, but also, you have oil, water, salt, carrot extract. wow — carrot? it doesn't look very carroty. how is this different to the other egg replacements that exist? it is very important to have good nutrition facts. we have only seven ingredients, it is less calories than egg, but also, rich in protein. thank you very much. it tastes a lot like egg. there is a bit of an aftertaste... ..a slightly bitter aftertaste... ..but it's a good replacement. the texture's right and, obviously, i am eating it by itself, so as soon as you've mixed it into a recipe or anything, i'm not sure you'd notice that. i'm trying another mouthful... ..which was a good sign. outside these walls, though,
7:59 am
there are still many challenges. today, there are so many resources, so many opportunities, so many discussions. people are really engaged and they want to see a difference. and this was not the case from about ten years ago, where people actually weren't even conscious that there was a gender issue in tech and it was not anywhere in the conversation. you have to see maybe more diversity within venture capital teams, we have to see them actually — maybe in the same way as what we've done at station f — really go out and increase their applicant pool and then the different start—ups that they are considering funding. but i think there's a lot that needs to be done to really get us to where we need to be. now, that's it for the shortcut of click here at the glasgow women's library. the full—length version is available on iplayer. and, incidentally, the bbc has just released its annual list of 100 inspiring and influential women. you can find that online too. we shall be back at the same time next week. thanks for watching. bye—bye.
8:00 am
good morning welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: the steepest rise in rail fares for a decade start in england and wales today, despite record levels of delays and cancellations. a historic agreement is reached to protect the world's oceans following ten years of negotiations. the latest leak of whatsapp messages show that the former heath secretary matt hancock suggested "frightening the pants off everyone" when announcing a new strain of covid. and late, late drama at the top of the premier league — arsenal come from two goals down
8:01 am
to beat bournemouth and stay top, sparking joy for their manager, fans, and a former player. oh, my god! shouting hello. good morning. we've got another cloudy and chilly day today. a few more showers around as well. but early next week, those showers are going to be falling as snow in some areas. it's going to get much colder and there will be some ice around. join me later, though, for all the details. it's sunday 5th march. our main story: rail fares are going up today in their steepest increase for more than a decade, despite record levels of delays and cancellations. regulated railfares are rising by 5.9% in england and wales, adding hundreds of pounds to the cost of many annual season tickets. but the government said it had made its biggest—ever intervention
8:02 am
to keep the increase well below inflation. here's our transport correspondent, katy austin. all aboard for another fare increase. 5.9%. oh, god. it already costs me almost an hour of my an hourly wage just to buy my return ticket. a monthly ticket is somewhere around £600, but they're not always on time. and most of the time they are delayed. for me, it's the cumulative effect. it's notjust the price of a ticket, it's price of tickets, _ price of rent, pricej of everything else. i'm a student, so i'm obviously trying to save money and stuff, so it does suck. trying to be green. try not to use your car so much. it's actually costing more and more. if the increment is going to make it reliable, then it's ok. the 5.9% cap covers nearly half of fares in england and wales, including most season tickets. a decision hasn't yet been made in scotland. the government says it's made sure the rise is well below the rate of inflation it would normally
8:03 am
be based on. but this year's is the biggest increase in 11 years and it comes as people are facing a host of cost of living pressures. passengers have also endured a period of worsening reliability, with record cancellation rates and a series of strikes. even before this current fare rise, passengers on the whole did not see train travel as great value for money. what passengers really want, yes, they want an affordable railway, but value for money is about having a reliable, punctual railway as well. and for several months now that's not been good enough. train company representatives said the industry was working hard to make the network more reliable. it's a time of challenges and change on the railway. more working from home means less commuting and season ticket sales are at less than a third of what they were before the pandemic. flexible alternatives have already come in and trials of things like scrapping return tickets are coming
8:04 am
down the track. with fares going up and up, passengers want to see service levels going that way too. katy austin, bbc news. after more than a decade of talks, members of the un have reached a landmark agreement to safeguard the world's oceans. the treaty will create protected areas covering 30% of the high seas — or international waters — by the end of the decade. the deal was struck at un headquarters in new york last night after a final 38—hour push. our climate reporter, esme stallard, reports. the ship has reached the shore. cheering and applause it took all night, but countries from around the world finally agreed on how to protect the high seas. high seas are international waters that aren't controlled by any nation. they make up two thirds of the world's oceans and play host
8:05 am
to most of our planet's marine life — some 2 million species. until now, all countries had a right to fish, ship and research in these areas, but its left the animals and plants living there vulnerable. around 10% of monitored species are at risk of extinction. i think that this treaty that will lay the groundwork for creating 30% of the ocean into marine sanctuaries that cannot be fished in is so important. we have to save these creatures. talks were deadlocked for years, mostly over how genetic material from plants and animals found in the high seas should be shared between nations. several important drugs, including treatments for covid, hiv and cancer, were developed from marine life. the potential for profit is huge. but no—one knows how much ocean resources are truly worth, nor how they could be split. it's a little bit hard to even
8:06 am
wrap our heads around how big and how distant these areas are. if you imagine, like, a big, high definition wide—screen tv and if only like three or four of the pixels on that giant screen are working, that's kind of our knowledge of the deep ocean. we don't know so much of what's going on. countries will need to meet again to formally adopt the treaty. but for many, now there will be much relief. esme stallard, bbc news. intense fighting is continuing in the ukrainian city of bakhmut. ukrainian forces are trying to repel russian attempts to take control of the city, with troops fighting in the streets. thousands of civilians are believed to be in bakhmut without access to gas, electricity or water. the former health secretary matt hancock told aides he wanted to "frighten the pants off everyone" to ensure compliance with covid—19 restrictions,
8:07 am
in the latest leaked messages to be published in the sunday telegraph. the whatsapp exchanges show how mr hancock and others discussed how to use an announcement about the kent variant in december 2020 to scare the public into changing their behaviour. our political correspondent, helen catt, reports. for several days, the telegraph has been publishing leaked messages sent between the former health secretary, matt hancock, and others during the pandemic. with the latest batch, they accuse mr hancock and his team of engaging in a kind of project fear. on 14th december 2020, mr hancock announced the existence of the kent variant of coronavirus. it had been growing as a proportion of cases, including in london, where there had been a steep rise. the sunday telegraph has published a message exchange from the day before where mr hancock appears to discuss potential resistance by the mayor of london to a possible lockdown in the city. his aide suggests, rather than doing too much signaling, we can roll the pitch with the new strain.
8:08 am
mr hancock replies, "we frighten the pants off everyone with the new strain." the paper has also published a message from the head of the civil service, simon case, sent the following month during the third lockdown. in it he talks about ramping up messaging, adding "fear/guilt factor vital". the messages were leaked to the paper by the journalist isabel oakeshott, who has been a vocal critic of lockdowns. she said it was in the public interest. others disagree. a former adviser to mr hancock, responding to the publication of some of his messages in the article, told the bbc that promoting caution had been basic common sense. in a statement, mr hancock said that he had given all this material to the covid inquiry, which he said was the right and only place for everything to be considered properly. helen catt, bbc news. new laws are expected to be announced this week as part of rishi sunak�*s pledge to make sure migrants who arrive in the uk illegally will be deported. our political correspondent peter saull is with us. he is in our london newsroom. both

8:19 am
simon calder is the travel correspondent for the independent and joins us now from london paddington station. thank you forjoining us. the government says it has held this down well below the rate of inflation and it has done everyone effectively a favour, is that fair? well, it has certainly done what it normally does not do. usually the increase in fares is tied to the retail price index for the previous july. retail price index for the previous july, that was over 12%, so the government says, we will tie it to the average increase in wages instead which is where you get 5.9%. that applies to all so—called regulated fares. they are many season tickets, any time... peak tickets on one—wayjourneys to and from the big cities in england and wales and also some off—peak return
8:20 am
tickets for longer journeys. wales and also some off—peak return tickets for longerjourneys. to give you a snapshot, between cardiff and bristol temple meads, this morning or tomorrow morning in the rush hour, you will be paying just 10p short of £20, gone up by over £1. non—regulated fares have gone up by a similaramount non—regulated fares have gone up by a similar amount which means astonishingly to get here from bristol temple meads to london paddington in the rush hour tomorrow, theoretically, it will cost you £126. of course, anybody who is a regular on line will know you would never pay that sort of price, you will always split your ticket, you have two tickets for the journey and that will save you about £50. you simply buy one to didcot and anotherfrom there, £50. you simply buy one to didcot and another from there, it is called the didcot dodge and there are similar rules. letting tickets around the country, but it is a

8:22 am
alternatives. for instance, in england, bus fares for many journeys are capped at £2 until the end of june so i think a lot of people will be switching away. yes, rail companies, the whole industry, it is trying to persuade more people to travel by train. numbers roughly 20% down on what they were before covid. meanwhile, the taxpayer is spending more money than ever subsidising fares and in the middle of this we have the rail strikes, so there is less resilience. next round i am afraid starts on the 16th of march and continues until april fools' day, four days of strike by members of the rmt union who say they want a no strings pay rise.— no strings pay rise. most people will be looking _ no strings pay rise. most people will be looking at _ no strings pay rise. most people will be looking at the _ no strings pay rise. most people will be looking at the trains - no strings pay rise. most people will be looking at the trains and | will be looking at the trains and saying, hang on, iam paying more for a service that is less reliable. the fat for example that return

competition returns for another year. it's aimed at 11 to 18—year—olds and previous winners have focused on issues like sexism in sport and diversity in their schools. 17—year—old jess was one of the winners in the last round of the competition. she's a young farmer and wanted to share her story. let's take a look. hi, i'mjess. i'm 17 and i'm a young farmer. i love farming because it's outdoors. i'm an outdoors person. it's so beautiful. a lot of days, not all. if we fill up first, i'll meet you up the top by the feed bins. i also love the fact that you're doing something physical, but you're also using your brain. and i think you've got to be able to be a vet and a scientist and an accountant and, like, all of these different roles combined into one. i think there is a bit of a disconnect between people of my generation and farmers and where their food comes from. because, you know, whatever diet you follow, like, vegan, vegetarian, or if you eat meat, yourfood, like, did
8:27 am
come from a farmer. and i don't think people always actually think about that. also, i think there's the sort of perception that oh, you need to be really, really strong. you do need to be strong foryoursize, but due to the machinery now, it's not like i'm at any disadvantage because of how tall or strong i am. so, i went to devon when i was seven years old, i think. we went to stay in a holiday cottage. we met some really lovely people there who are the farmer and his wife. the farmer would let me go on the quad bike and help the sheep. when i was about 13 or 14, iwas like, ok, i need to do this more often. i don't just want to do this on holiday. so, ijust, like, wrote emails to i think two local farms. i literally looked them up on google.
8:28 am
i was saying what experience i had previously had, who i was, and scott and lindsay were like, well, do you want to come and meet us? and they never got rid of me since then! we were so impressed byjess's email that she came across really well. so we met up with her and it was quite clear that she was very forthcoming. and so, yeah, we were very impressed early on and jess has been coming here ever since. it's a really nice, kind of quiet, happy place to come, i suppose. especially, you know, ijust did my gcses and that's quite a stressful time. so being able to like come here and just stand and look out over the view, it's very grounding and, yeah, it's lovely. i think more young people should get into farming because it's more important now than ever to be finding sustainable farming practices. it's really important that farmers and scientists work together to find sustainable ways of farming, so we can feed the uk from the uk. i think the average age of farmers would be a lot better if it was younger, and also its just such a lovely lifestyle which i think a lot of people

national trust sites. yesterday, that is the kind of hobby i would like to get into. not marathon running or like that. stay with us. lots more charter on the way! plenty of news as well and of course the sport. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and rogerjohnson. and gavinjoins us and gavin joins us with the sports
8:31 am
news now. and gavin 'oins us with the sports news now. . and gavin 'oins us with the sports news new.— and gavin 'oins us with the sports news now. . ., , ., . ~ ., ., and gavin 'oins us with the sports news now. . ., , ., a ., ., news now. that was one heck of a day of sort news now. that was one heck of a day of sport yesterday- — reiss nelson saved the day for arsenal as they took a huge step towards a first premier league title since 2004. gavin, turn your microphone on! the gunners found themselves a goal down afterjust ten seconds — philip billing rounded off a bournemouth move straight from kick off and marco senesi doubled that lead in the second half. but substitute nelson struck this stunning winner deep into injury time — after earlier goals from thomas partey and fellow sub ben white sparking raucous scenes at the emirates. fans absolutely loving it — including former player ian wright — who was watching the game for match of the day. screams in delight. yes! screams in delight. yess!
8:32 am
all right! you have got to love that, haven't you? the reaction from ian wright. earlier in the day, manchester city had cut the gap to two points thanks to a 2—0 win over newcastle. phil foden scored his fourth goal in three games, to set city on their way before bernardo silva added a second moments after coming off the bench. david moyes is a man under pressure right now — his west ham side thrashed 4—0 at brighton, who are flying at the moment. the hammers are just two points off the relegation zone. a disappointing day for them. there was anger. angerfrom everybody, i think, anger from the supporters, i think angerfrom the manager, the players are angry, they are disappointed with themselves. so, it happens and that is the way it is going to be, we're not accepting what happened today, we are going to do something about it, play much better, want to try to make sure the next performance gets better. but it is sore.
8:33 am
southampton are off the bottom of the premier league for the first time since boxing day. they beat leicester 1—0 thanks to a first half goal from carlos alcaraz. that came afterjames ward—prowse had missed a penalty for the home side — who recovered well from their disappointing fa cup exit at the hands of league two grimsby this week. and the pressure somewhat eased on graham potter, for the moment at least. a huge win for his chelsea side — beating leeds 1—0. it's a first win in seven games, believe it or not! the big spenders in the recent transfer window still very much mid—table though. two more games in the premier league later. first up, it's nottingham forest v everton. then it's a huge one at anfield — liverpool v manchester united. managersjurgen klopp and erik ten hag — have called for an end to "tragedy chanting" in a joint statement ahead of today's match at anfield. the fixture has occasionally been marred by rival supporters chanting, about the munich air disaster and the heysel and hillsborough tragedies. celtic will be aiming to restore their nine—point lead over rangers at the top of the scottish premiership
8:34 am
when they visit st mirren later today. rangers narrowed the gap yesterday with a win over kilmarnock hibernian came from behind to beat ten—man livingston 4—1 and move to fourth in the table. there were also wins for hearts, motherwell and aberdeen. it was a golden day for laura muir who won a record fifth european indoor title. the scot defended her 1500 metre title in istanbul comfortably to make it three in a row at that distance. she also has two other golds at 3000 metres from previous years which make her the most successful british athlete in the history of the championships. at the end of the day, you've got to be adaptable so yeah, i ran sort of how i felt in the race and yeah, it worked out but i'm just fortunate i'm in the place now where i'm experienced, i can deal with different things, and ultimately to
8:35 am
come here with a win today and i have done that, yeah, i am so happy! and keeley hodgkinson is the big favourite for gold in the final of the women's 800 metres later today. she stormed to victory in her semi final and will be hoping to successfully defend her title. that is all from us for now. the bahrain grand prix, the opener taking place today. thank you so much. loads of people have been in touch about trains, on our new whatsapp means of communication. public transport can be any one of expensive, inconvenient or unreliable for people to continue to use it, but currently its all three and getting worse. harry in lincoln — i caught my first train in four years last week. it was delayed by 3 hours and i ended up getting a taxi home at 3:30 in the morning

on a work night. it's madness, they're so expensive. rail fares need to follow air fares in term if simplicity and clarity. not only are there so many options with national rail but various agencies offer further differing prices. it is far from quick and easy. and this one says i knew about the didcot dodge, i knew about the split tickets but you don't do was know about those unless you use certain websites? tt about those unless you use certain websites? , ., ., ., about those unless you use certain websites? ., ., , _ websites? if you go to derby, you could have _ websites? if you go to derby, you could have the _ websites? if you go to derby, you could have the derby _ websites? if you go to derby, you could have the derby dodge! - websites? if you go to derby, you. could have the derby dodge! thank ou so could have the derby dodge! thank you so much _ could have the derby dodge! thank you so much for— could have the derby dodge! thank you so much for getting _ could have the derby dodge! thank you so much for getting in - could have the derby dodge! ’tiag�*is; you so much for getting in touch over whatsapp, you so much for getting in touch overwhatsapp, it's you so much for getting in touch over whatsapp, it's great. the time is 25 to nine. if you were watching breakfast on friday, you might remember we told you the heartbreaking news that the former wales footballer jason bowen is the latest sports star to have been dianosed with motor neurone disease. the 50—year—old, who played for swansea, cardiff and newport county during his career, says he's determined not to look too far ahead, and to enjoy the present. he's been telling his full story to george zielinski. saved by the keeper.
8:37 am
3—1, that's it now. jason bowen doing what he often did for teams like cardiff, swansea and newport county. a committed professional, he played until he was 40 before hanging up his boots. during his long career bowen faced many challenges, the biggest awaits him now. i wasjust in the house with my wife and i had a lot of twitching in my muscles, going down my left side and my hand was getting a little bit weaker so she said, "go to the doctor. the doctor seeing me in the leisure centre, and within five weeks, i was diagnosed with mnd. and when you came back to told yourfamily what was their initial reaction? to told your family coming from the doctor telling the wife and kids, yes, they're heartbroken.
8:38 am
a lot of tears. just a lot of tears, a lot of talking, just strangely positive, we just try to move on from it. my wife had been superb from the start. she's on the internet, looking up things. she has been amazing, she is pushing me all the way. my wife's mother passed away of the same disease 18 years ago, it was a bit of a double whammy for my wife. obviously, she cared for her mother going back 18 years, you know? bella only lasted two or 2.5 years then she passed. motor neurone disease is incurable and affects the brains and nerves. early symptoms can include weak grip, slurred speech and muscle cramp,
8:39 am
it can shorten life expectancy but treatments are available. in recent months, bowen has been attending the morello clinic in newport specialising in rehabilitation for people with neurological conditions. until we went to a friend's party, the wife got talking to a friend of hers, her daughter works here. and she told the wife what goes on here and things and i was in straightaway. maintain it until you lose it, they have been really positive, especially mentally as well as physically, you know. the last couple of years, my hand gradually getting a little bit worst, struggling to do little things like buttons and things like that, and belts and things like that, laces, can still do a lot of things. i know further down the line things might get more difficult for me.
8:40 am
i meet them head on, and give it as best a go as i can. he is undergoing hydrotherapy and taking long walks to get himself as physically and mentally fit as possible on what will be a long and challenging road ahead. and we wishjason all the very best and of course we will continue to follow his story. when golfer ronjohnson teed off for a round with his friends — little did he know their quick thinking was about to save his life. ron suddenly had a heart attack and collapsed — but four of his friends immediately started cpr and gave him two shocks with a defibrillator while waiting for an ambulance. now they've been honoured with a special award. we're pleased to say ron has made a full recovery and joins us alongside mark, rob, gary and gareth. you are life—savers! you are life-savers! isn't it wonderful? _
