the attack happened inside a meeting hall forjehovah's witnesses. the gunman is believed to be dead, but police still have "no reliable information" on the motive for the shooting. tim allman has more. a quiet street in hamburg. at around nine o'clock in the evening local time. in the distance, a figure appears to have climbed up the outside of the building and is peering inside. then after a short pause he raises what appears to be a handgun and opens fire. not long after, armed officers arrived and are storming the building. slowly, carefully, they make their way upstairs. no idea if the gunman is waiting for them. this is kingdom hall, a place of worship for jehovah's witnesses. it is believed they were in the middle of the service when the attack took place.

i didn't realise what was happening. i didn't realise what was happening. i was filming with my phone and only realised that someone was shooting atjehovah�*s witnesses. then i realised what was going on. a little later secured, it was sorted out with their hands on their heads. initially there were reports the attacker may have escaped a large city. police now believe the gunman, may be, nevertranslation: side of this has also had a shot from the upper part of the building and went upstairs to where also found a body. she said the officers also heard a shot. for found a body. she said the officers also heard a shot.— also heard a shot. for now, the reason has _ also heard a shot. for now, the reason has been _ also heard a shot. for now, the reason has been given - also heard a shot. for now, the reason has been given for- also heard a shot. for now, the reason has been given for this. reason has been given for this carnage. a full investigation will now begin to try to work out how these terrible events happened, a

place of peace witness to such deadly violence. let's speak now to our correspondent jenny hill, who's in hamburg for us this morning. jenny, what more do we know? there are still very few details or facts we have right now. you can see the meeting hall behind me, forensic experts have been at the scene working there all right, you can still see them through the does from time to time those white suits, plenty of police officers guarding the front of the building as well. the police have yet to officially confirm the number of people killed and the number of people injured, they have not told us not to talk about what happened last night, authorities in hamburg have said there will be a press conference later today during which we assume

we will hear more about what may have happened. as you saw report there, last night there was huge concern here but the perpetrator might still be at large, people were told to stay indoors, they were at risk. that of course has passed, the police now believe that the attacker may have died the whole. we know very little more at this stage, we will have to wait for that press conference —— may have died in the hall. in time, the mayor of hamburg has expressed his deep shock and offered his condolences to the families of those killed and injured, and as people who try to absorb what happened last night, the question uppermost and most people's points is, what on earth could have possibly motivated such a deadly attack? , . , possibly motivated such a deadly attack? , ., , ., ., attack? generally, for the moment, thank ou attack? generally, for the moment, thank you very _ attack? generally, for the moment,

fall, adding to what's already lying on the ground. we may be in meteorological spring, but in places it's been looking and feeling more like midwinter. the worst affected areas could now see up to a0 centimetres of snow, accompanied by winds of 50 mph, leading to blizzard conditions and significant disruption. much of the uk remains under yellow weather warnings for snow, ice or strong winds, with roads and railways likely to be affected. but overnight, three areas were under the more severe amber warnings, with the possibility of power cuts and rural communities getting cut off. in northern ireland, affected by those warnings, actually getting into your car might prove tricky. while in oldham, the gritters have been out in force. we've been out gritting since midnight and will be over the next 2a hours. this is what we plan for day to day, but yes, it puts a huge resource and stress on staffing levels and day—to—day management.

rail passengers are being told to check before they settle. great northern and merseyrail warning of problems. nearly 300 schools were closed across wales because the school grounds were too icy or staff couldn't get in. many across the uk are expected to shut again today, not that the children were complaining. it's unbelievable! sledging in shetland. one farmer was feeding his sheep when he spotted a rare snow tornado. but for those who have had enough of a night in the snow, the big thaw may not come for several more days. simon jones, bbc news. the pennines are expected to be one of the worst—affected areas today. our reporter mairead smyth is in ainley top this morning. mairead, how's it looking there? ican i can see it is very cold, it looks as though traffic is moving now at least. , ., , . , ., least. yes, the traffic is moving . uite least. yes, the traffic is moving quite well. _ least. yes, the traffic is moving quite well, actually, _ least. yes, the traffic is moving quite well, actually, on - least. yes, the traffic is moving quite well, actually, on the - least. yes, the traffic is moving l quite well, actually, on the m62.

people have places to get to, confidence to move across the country, but the snow has come down all night. it started here yesterday afternoon, and it has not stopped since. i got stuck in the car park this morning, i spoke to some people who were stranded overnight. they had been to a concert in manchester and were trying to get home, they thought, across the m62 but were taken on the aroads, and ended up being rescued by mountain rescue. i spoke to another guy who had been to the weeds man united game, he did not want to miss that match, but ended up stranded spent the night, manager and a hotel. the amber warning was in place for a reason, and that is because we were expecting these heavy snowfall right across the pennines, and dislike is like this and other parts of the country as well.—

to block people arriving in the uk illegally from claiming asylum. our political editor chris mason has more. rishi sunak and the french president emmanuel macron. here they are in egypt last year at a climate summit. today, they'll meet here at the elysee palace in paris alongside a total of around a dozen of their most senior ministers. the two leaders will meet face—to—face for around half an hour. among topics on the agenda will be small boat crossings over the channel. the british government believes money sent to france to step up patrols has been well spent and wants to go further. but downing street's desire to make the small boat route unviable is a bold ambition given the numbers proving it to be the opposite have continued to rocket. more than 16,000 people entered the uk via channel crossings last year, up from about 300 in 2018.

so far this year, around 3,000 people have arrived on small boats, but the two governments claim theirjoint work has stopped a similar number from embarking on thejourney. an announcement on deepening cooperation on the issue is expected rather than a big breakthrough. labour said the absence of a new agreement to return migrants to france was a total failure. chris mason, bbc news. trading standards officers say one in three vaping products may fall foul of regulations, breaking the rules on nicotine strength and health warnings. they have also raised concerns about sales to children, and want higher fines for shops. the mother of a woman who was bludgeoned to death with a claw hammer by her husband has launched a campaign to prevent his early release. british airways captain robert brown was jailed for 26 years for the manslaughter ofjoanna simpson in 2010. her mother dianna parkes has asked the justice secretary dominic raab to intervene. our reporter yetunde

yusuf went to meet her. joanna simpson was at home in berkshire when she was killed armed with a claw hammer, robert brown hitjoanna at least 1a times. their two children were in the playroom and heard attack. in 2011, brown admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, and was sentenced to 26 years in prison. but more than a decade later, he is being considered for early release, and could be freed in november. joanna's mother diana parkes wants to stop brown getting out and has met with the justice secretary dominic raab. he was extremely intent on listening to what we were saying, and i think he's going to look into it very closely. i pushed him very hard in terms of making commitments, and he did explicitly say that he would definitely review this case properly

under his new powers. he clearly cannot make any commitment in terms of the outcome of that review. that's something that will have to play its way through. the campaign to prevent brown's early release was launched earlier this month, and is also backed by carriejohnson, the wife of the former prime minister. just astonished at the amount of publicity that we've had. absolutely astonished. and really, it's down to carrie johnson, because for years, i've been saying, who is going to monitor him for 13 years when he comes out ofjail, still has 13 years on licence? nobody really took notice, but now, thanks to carrie, and hetty, all her hard work as well, i feel we might be getting somewhere. last year, the secretary of state was given new powers to refer certain prisoners to the parole board to determine if they are safe to be released. they are only used in rare cases such as if there is a threat to national security or if there is a risk of

serious harm to the public. today, the ministry ofjustice says dominic raab will review whether to use these powers closer to the time of robert brown's release. for diana, though, joanna's death was a tragedy that changed her family's life forever. and while nothing will bring joanna back, diana says she just wants the punishment to fit the crime, and for her daughter's killer to remain behind bars. yetunde yusuf, bbc news. scientists say a global effort is needed to protect the earth's orbit from the danger posed by space debris. they estimate that 100 trillion pieces of old satellites are not being monitored. the researchers are calling for a legally—binding treaty on managing the spacejunk. some supermarkets are lifting restrictions on the sale of certain fruits and vegetables, after supply issues caused shortages across the uk. asda will lift limits on lettuce and broccoli, whilst restrictions on cucumber purchases will be scrapped at morrisons.

sales of tomatoes and peppers will still be limited by both stores. bad weather across europe and north africa was partially blamed for the supply problems. now the weather with matt. i , a difficult one for some of you this morning. this was for a short while ago outside overlooking sheffield, still snowing quite hard. we still have two met office amber warnings in. spawning across the pennines, the peak district, and parts of north wales. further heavy snow being blown around by strong winds, would be to add to this now thatis winds, would be to add to this now that is formed and you might as well. the reduction of the snow is falling right now, we have numerous now that some sweets to lower levels, too, so not also there. rain

around southern counties of england, towards the east of yorkshire as well, and some snow flurries and. in. it is the snow across northern england and wales because of the biggest problems have been. it will gradually ease in the morning rush hour, but some pretty strong winds, gusting 30 to a0 mph quite easily responsive in north wales, could reach 60 mph in some areas of the south—west and the channel islands. the rushing through the morning, but it could transfer further southwards was, perhaps as far south as the cotswolds before gradually easing off towards the east. most of you will andy dibble some sunshine, to wince, still some snow follows in the north of scotland, rentals the channel islands, and a cold day for all. but you colder tonight, as the sky is clear, regiments, widespread and quite sharp frost tonight, such motherly risk of eye surround us to just drop as low as —10 across some parts of the country. a bright start to be mechanical but also in the

way, parts of scotland tomorrow evening. more details of around half an hour. thanks, matt, speak to you soon. when elle edwards was shot dead in a pub in merseyside on christmas eve — she was just 26—years—old. later today, her dad tim and the comedianjohn may will walk into liverpool on the latest leg of a journey to raise awareness of the devastating impact that gun and knife crime can have. they hope that the people of the city willjoin them to show their support, as jayne mccubbin reports. he her dad. he loved her dad. a privileged position. tim's thought elle was shot dead on christmas eve. he has one but three months on, he finds it almost impossible to talk about her.

"our luck will run out" is the headline on the front of the metro. the paper quotes the head of the international atomic energy agency, who says that only luck has so far avoided disaster at ukraine's zaporizhzhia nuclear power station.

it's after a russian missile knocked out its power supply for the sixth time. and yorkshire is one of the areas that's been affected by heavy snowfall. the yorkshire post has this striking image on the front of today's paper, with the headline "sledging fun in a winter wonderland." i know it is not grateful some people this morning, reflecting all our coverage this morning about not only how beautiful it looks but also the real difficulty is that is causing some places on the road —— not great for some people. at the moment, there is the mapping of the human brain, so scientists are determined to figure out the connection and how it works etc. they have started somewhere, they have started with an insect. and they have taken a fruit fly larva

micro sliced its brain. it has established it has 5a8,000 connections just in that brain. it has more than twice as many is as the previous largest mapped brain, and previously we have had the brain of. as a worm's brings more than a fruit fly�*s? yes, a fruit fly has twice as many new ones. ijust did not know the relative sizes of brains, but now i know. it is going to be very difficult because we have started with the fruit fly and they are going to work their way up through the animal kingdom. an adult fruit fly has 100,000 new ones. how

many do you think you greenhouse? i thought they didn't know yet. well, they have got an estimate. if i has 100,000, ready think the human... ? 28 million. no. is it much more? 86 billion. it will not basically. but all brains are actually similar for the connections are all very similar, so as to keep working on, it is figuring out how we process information. so an insect�*s brain is just a small version of brain? the connectors are the same, but not necessarily be functionality. if you cannot handle all of those big numbers, who to go and see sinatra the musical. this has been given the

go—ahead by his family, his daughter has given us one the go—ahead, which will chronicle the rise of the singer through the 19a0s, through his turbulent love life, his comeback as well, the sport lodge in birmingham, it has never been done before. there was a 2017 martin scorsese film planned, but then it's never happened because there were lots of rows about how the story would be told, the family were not happy with the arrangements. anyway, sinatra the musical is on. a much more simple story. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. hs2 — the new high speed railway line currently under construction between london and birmingham may not reach its central london terminal at euston station until at least 20a0. it was planned to open sometime between 2031 and 2036, but that's now expected to be

a delayed by around three years. trains will run from old oak common in north west london instead. the government says it has had to delay parts of the project to cut costs. the metropolitan police commissioner sir mark rowley will launch a new helpline today for victims of crime, and says he intends to put them at the heart of everything the met does. the free service will make it easier for those who have been a target to access information about their cases. it will cost £3 million, paid for by city hall, who say it'll also fund a number of additional met staff who will be responsible for victims' care and support. the luton dart — a driverless train system that links luton parkway train station with the airport — will welcome its first passengers later. the project, which should have opened two years ago, is £90 million over budget. but bosses say the new trains will cut the journey times for passengers using the airport.

let's take a look at how the tube's looking this morning. there no service on the bakerloo line between stonebridge park to harrow and wealdstone and between euston and harrow and wealdstone. there's minor delays on the circle line and severe delays on the district line from earls court to richmond/ealing broadway. and for all the latest travel news where you are, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. the temperature we have this morning is likely to be our maximum. it's falling away as we head further through the day. the rain that is clearing over higher ground, you might get a rain that is clearing over higher ground, you might geta bit rain that is clearing over higher ground, you might get a bit of sleet but it's largely falling as rain. a dry afternoon, the cloud breaking and some bright spells. quite breezy but the temperature dropping. these are the temperatures through this morning. by the end of the day they

will be lower. overnight tonight, the wind is a bit lighter and it's dry and clear. it's going to be very cold, the minimum —a. we could see some ice tomorrow morning. a bright start, a cold start to the weekend. sunshine for tomorrow morning but then anotherfront will sunshine for tomorrow morning but then another front will move through on saturday bringing more cloud and rain overnight. then for sunday, once that clears we will see milder air moving in from the south—west bringing some very wet and windy weather overnight into monday. that milder stays with us at least for monday. getting chilly again for tuesday. that's it for me, but you can keep up—to—date with the latest news by downloading the bbc news app and selecting london, or tune into bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour — but for now let's cross back to naga and charlie. hello, this is breakfast with

charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on breakfast this morning — we'll be hearing from some of the hollywood stars hotly tipped to take home an award at this weekend's oscars ceremony. we've been to meet the watford footballer ken sema, who has a stammer. his post—match interview went viral a couple of weeks ago, with campaigners praising him as an inspiration. and sir david attenborough has brought us amazing wildlife stories from across the world. we'll be hearing all about his latest series wild isles, which shows how the uk's nature can rival anything on the planet. heavy snowfall overnight has caused severe disruption and treacherous conditions across the uk. this was the picture on the m62 overnight. with an amber weather warning in place in central

and northern england, people are being advised only to travel if necessary, and expectjourneys to be significantly delayed. what we are saying to passengers is please check your journey what we are saying to passengers is please check yourjourney plans before you travel. if you don't have to travel, stay—at—home, work from home if you can. if you have to make the journey, home if you can. if you have to make thejourney, allow home if you can. if you have to make the journey, allow more time. home if you can. if you have to make thejourney, allow more time. there is disruption, there will be cancellations. we don't want impact on yourjourneys. please check before you travel. it's been the coldest march since 2010, and the time of year is causing concern among farmers. with it technically now being spring, many lambs are being born, and keeping them warm is a priority. the challenge is making sure that the stock is ok. cards are in the sheds and everything is inside there on the beef side but the sheep are still out, they are out all year round. we don't house them unless

there is a major problem during lambing. the worst—affected areas could see 50 miles per hour winds and a0 centimetres of snow today. a council leader in north wales has this advice. look after vulnerable people. stay warm. take care. and listen to the advice that's being given. let's find out what the picture is like in north wales this morning. our reporter phil mccann is in mold for us. phil, what's the situation like there? there's not much traffic, i think the message is getting through, if you need to be out, get out. hot you need to be out, get out. not much traffic— you need to be out, get out. not much traffic on _ you need to be out, get out. iirrt much traffic on the road. i live quite close to here and it took me over a0 minutes to get here this morning just because it was treacherous, even on the a55 which is the major route that goes across

the entirety of the north wales coast. that was difficult to drive along and i saw two snowploughs. with the snow falling as thickly as it has been for a few hours certainly since am when i looked out of the window, when the snowplough goes over, the snowfall is again on the tracks get quickly covered. and then coming here some of the raids go over high ground and that was particularly treacherous. every now and then you get gusts of wind which turn this into a blizzard. across wide in north wales we know that yesterday some major routes had to be closed because they traverse higher ground and it was too treacherous and around 300 schools across wales were closed yesterday. in flintshire, they've announced already that all of the schools will be closed today as well. and the riva buses for example yesterday decided to cancel all of their services in wrexham county —— arriva

buses. i had seen some buses this morning. not too many cars on the roads. one good thing for those children who will be off this morning is they've got proper snowball snow.— morning is they've got proper snowball snow. morning is they've got proper snowballsnow. ., , ., ., ., snowball snow. you should avoid them because they — snowball snow. you should avoid them because they may _ snowball snow. you should avoid them because they may be _ snowball snow. you should avoid them because they may be throwing - snowball snow. you should avoid them because they may be throwing them! l because they may be throwing them! have you seen many people out and about? . have you seen many people out and about? a ., �*, about? the local mcdonald's has o-ened about? the local mcdonald's has opened and _ about? the local mcdonald's has opened and so — about? the local mcdonald's has opened and so has _ about? the local mcdonald's has opened and so has the _ about? the local mcdonald's has opened and so has the local- about? the local mcdonald's has l opened and so has the local algae. we've seen people going about their normaljobs. everybody seems to be in a rush, a safe rush, heads down, looking at the ground and getting to where they need to go. nothing will ever stop people walking their dogs. i've seen a dog walker as well. some thins are i've seen a dog walker as well. some things are necessary. _ i've seen a dog walker as well. some things are necessary. take _ i've seen a dog walker as well. some things are necessary. take care, - things are necessary. take care, keep warm, thank you. we'll keep you updated on the situation on the roads. that will have all of the weather forecast later. construction on a key part

of the hs2 high speed railway is to be delayed by two years. the government says the move is necessary to help cut costs. hannah can talk us through the details. you would be forgiven for being a bit confused right now is to just what is going ahead and what's being stopped, paused or delays. it has chanced stopped, paused or delays. it has changed to _ stopped, paused or delays. it has changed to many, _ stopped, paused or delays. it has changed to many, many - stopped, paused or delays. it has changed to many, many times. i stopped, paused or delays. it has. changed to many, many times. we stopped, paused or delays. it is; changed to many, many times. we talk about inflation and rising costs, now we will see how it's impacting a major infrastructure project. hs2 is nothing if not controversial — the largest infrastructure project in europe which supporters say will be a vital part of our future infrastructure. there have been lots of changes along the way but this is the route that's now planned — about a0% of the work has been completed on the first phase between london and birmingham. but now the government has announced the construction of the birmingham to crewe stage will be delayed by two years, it says due to rising prices. that will then have a knock—on

impact on the section from crewe to manchester — and its another setback for a project that's already been hampered by spiralling costs, delays and environmental concerns. in 2010 the whole line was forecast to cost £33 billion, that's already spiralled to at least 70 billion. most of the planned connection to leeds was scrapped in 2021 because it was deemed too expensive. so when will it be finished? services between west london and birmingham might not start for another ten years, by 2033 at the latest. originally the plan was that passengers would be using the first bit of track in just three years' time. euston station in london is currently scheduled to open later, by 2035. while further stretches to crewe and then to manchester are due to be completed by 20a1 — up to eight years behind the original schedule. business groups like the cb!

and northern powerhouse partnership say that while the delays are regrettable they do welcome the continued commitment to the line up to manchester. labour say that rather then lowering costs any delays will increase them in the long term. so, the short term savings at a time when budgets are tight perhaps unlikely to do anything to reduce costs in the long run.— unlikely to do anything to reduce costs in the long run. time now for the sport news. the number of leagues that are around and all of the team is playing, it's quite difficult to keep track of. some are being looked —— summer being knocked out others progressing into rounds. spurs -- summer being knocked out others progressing into rounds.— progressing into rounds. spurs got knocked out _ progressing into rounds. spurs got knocked out of _ progressing into rounds. spurs got knocked out of the _ progressing into rounds. spurs got knocked out of the champions - progressing into rounds. spurs got - knocked out of the champions league, manchester united are trying to get

and was quickly rewarded, and then quickly disappointed, wout weghorst�*s goal disallowed for offside. it was, though, a sign of things to come. a minute later, united did lead, just what they were looking for. marcus rashford's remarkable form continuing, a 26th goal of the season, and so a comfortable evening ahead. then maybe not. one chance for betis, one goal, but one nearly became two moments later. only the post came to united's rescue. the home side needed to wake up. antony provided the perfect alarm, before captain bruno fernandes led from the front. 3—1, and still time for one more. weghorst got his goal. united in control of the tie. a chance to rest easy, which is something arsenal can't do. although they did start well against sporting lisbon, william saliba with their opener in portugal, the home side soon responded, though, and in a very similar fashion. sporting then went in front shortly after half time. now it was arsenal who needed

to find a response. they did so with a bit of luck as well. 2—2 it finished, the tie delicately poised. west ham's european adventure has given them a rare highlight in a season of struggle. eight matches, eight wins in the conference league. better make that nine. a comfortable 2—0 win against aek larnaca in cyprus puts them firmly on course for the quarterfinals. now to take that form back to the premier league. michael radford, bbc news. next to huge relief for emma raducanu, who put her recent illness and injury concerns, behind her, with victory in her first match, since the australian open injanuary. tonsilitis, and the return of the wrist problem, which ended her season early last year, had disrupted her preparations for indian wells — one of the biggest events outside the grand slams, but she was rarely troubled against danka kovinic. raducanu, took the opening set 6—2, before overpowering her opponent in the second 6—3. she'll face poland's magda linette next.

joining her in round two is andy murray, who of course made sure he had to fight back from a set down, as he always seems to do. and so losing a first set tie break was his motivation against tomas martin etcheverry of argentina, with great movement and deft touches to dominate the second set. and then bang, he won the match with an ace. fellow britonjack draper is also into the second round and will face countryman dan evans next. you're excited by that. i couldn't slee but you're excited by that. i couldn't sleep but i _ you're excited by that. i couldn't sleep but i was _ you're excited by that. i couldn't sleep but i was listening - you're excited by that. i couldn't sleep but i was listening to - you're excited by that. i couldn't sleep but i was listening to 5 - you're excited by that. i couldn't| sleep but i was listening to 5 live with the coverage of andy murray's match. ., , , ., , , with the coverage of andy murray's match. .,,._ ., , , with the coverage of andy murray's match. ., _ ., , , ., match. probably not the best way to net to match. probably not the best way to get to sleep! — match. probably not the best way to get to sleep! itut — match. probably not the best way to get to sleep! but because _ match. probably not the best way to get to sleep! but because emma - get to sleep! but because emma raducanu had — get to sleep! but because emma raducanu had won _ get to sleep! but because emma raducanu had won and _ get to sleep! but because emma raducanu had won and was... i get to sleep! but because emma l raducanu had won and was... she get to sleep! but because emma i raducanu had won and was... she went into the commentary box with the 5 live team. it was the second set, the first set, and it was going to tie—break and she was only going to stay for a set and they got her to do a bit of commentary and then she

rule. the hakim, bbc news. ——yalda hakim, bbc news. my escape from afghanistan is now available on the bbc iplayer. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. we've seen a few examples, give us the big picture across the uk. good morning. the difficult rush—hour. this is from our weather watcher in harrogate. this is on the outskirts of wrexham is well where the snow is coming down quite heavily once again. it's even worse on the hills of northern england and north wales. covered by a met office amber warning that still in place through the rush—hour. more heavy snow to come and it's going to be blown around by some very strong winds as well. it will be an intriguing picture. let's show you the big picture. let's show you the big picture across the uk. it's this area of low pressure wave got the snow, that low pressure system is pulling away. it will improve. more

sunshine by the afternoon. a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. a0 mph across the pennines. strong winds further south. across the pennines. strong winds furthersouth. it's across the pennines. strong winds further south. it's milder there with outbreaks of rain. the snow across northern england and wales will fizzle for most of the morning. could see a bit of snow transferred through the midlands towards the cotswolds through this morning and then into the afternoon sun when she showers across eastern england where the winds remain strongest. scotland and northern ireland have a much quieter day. lots of sunshine developing. if few snow flurries in the far north. for all, feeling cold through the afternoon and southern areas chillier than yesterday. we finish with some clear skies, sunshine and a starry night to come tonight. rain until sleet spreading in later. ice is a big story for most of you tonight. just take a look at these temperatures. —10 to -12 look at these temperatures. —10 to —12 in some rural spots as we start tomorrow morning. it is going to be

a bitterly cold start your weekend. it will be a crisp, fresh, sunny one for the vast majority. they could be or two flurries across scotland. more cloud, outbreaks of rain turning to heel sleet as we go through the day. cloud increasing elsewhere. best of the brightness continues in the east. the sunniest in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon and another chilly day. signs of what's to come, plymouth is at ten celsius. outbreaks of rain spreading north, into scotland, potentially more snow to take us three saturday night into sunday. but will clear through into sunday morning. milderairfor sunday. fairly cloudy, some sunshine and a few showers in the west but on sunday no where near as cold as it will be on saturday. temperatures will be on saturday. temperatures will be on the rise with rain arriving in the west later we could see them back into double figures meaning a thaw of some of the snow falling at the moment.

lots of you have been waking up to snow this morning and sending us in your pictures on whatsapp. this is the view in wakefield. ken sent us this one in of his garden in rossendale, as the sun was rising. this is another dawn picture sent in by oxana — from todmorden in calderdale. that's a rather beautiful image. and stephen has shared this image with us, of the view from his window in richmond, north yorkshire. keep them coming in. the 95th academy awards — or oscars — takes place this weekend, so they're rolling out the red carpet in los angeles. but it's not red this year — it's champagne. and it's set to be a night of close races. here's our los angeles correspondent sophie long, with a look at some of the nominated

films and artists. as we enter the final furlong, it's looking very good for michelle yeoh, for everything everywhere all at once. her nod for best actress is one of 11 nominations the eccentric hit with a big heart that bent people's minds has bagged. a win for her would be historic. it's beyond me being recognised as an actress. it's like a whole community of asians coming forward and saying, you're going to do this for us, you have to do this for us. while it's well—positioned to take best picture, it left some traditional oscars voters a bit baffled, so it's still possible they could give the top prize to top gun: maverick. and they might feel more comfortable rewarding cate blanchett for her role in tar. it has six nods, including best picture and best director.

she's already won two oscars, but that doesn't mean another won't come her way. why'd you gain all that weight? someone close to me passed away. when it comes to best actor, everyone's talking about brendan fraserfor his role in the whale. but elvis has not left the building yet. it's been nominated for nine oscars, including best actor for austin butler, who, in the words of the late lisa marie presley, embodied the heart and soul of her father so beautifully. now i'm sitting here next to you, and if you're going back inside, i'm following you inside. and if you're going home, i'm following you there, too. colin farrell is also in the running for his role in the banshees of inesherin, which has nine nominations, including best picture and best supporting nods for three of his co—stars. quieter contenders for best actor are paul mescal for aftersun and the ever gracious bill nighy, nominated for the first time for his beautifully british understated performance in living.

best supporting actress, now, that's quite a field. they're all first—timers, except angela bassett for black panther: wakanda forever. and they're all super nice and rooting for each other. you know, there wasjust, like, things i didn't know about all these women and just really, like, lovely. yeah. i was really happy for them. and jamie lee curtis, i met her and she was lovely to me, and angela bassett, too. it has nothing to do about winning. it's just about artists connecting, women connecting, mothers connecting. and it was glorious and laughing. i mean, kerry is hilarious. but last year's ceremony was remembered for a showstopping sense of humour failure when will smith showed the world that, at the academy awards, anything can happen. sophie long, bbc news, hollywood. at the oscars are on sunday night

into monday morning uk time. the champagne carpet moments will be here on bbc breakfast on monday morning, people walking past, trying to have a chat, all of that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. hs2 — the new high speed railway line currently under construction between london and birmingham — may not reach its central london terminal at euston station until at least 20a0. it was planned to open sometime between 2031 and 2036, but that's now expected to be a delayed by around three years. trains will run from old oak common in north west london instead. the government says it has had to delay parts of the project to cut costs.

the metropolitan police commissioner sir mark rowley will launch a new helpline today for victims of crime, and says he intends to put them at the heart of everything the met does. the free service will make it easier for those who have been a target to access information about their cases. it will cost £3 million, paid for by city hall, who say it'll also fund a number of additional met staff who will be responsible for victims' care and support. the luton dart — a driverless train system that links luton parkway train station with the airport — will welcome its first passengers later. the project, which should have opened two years ago, is £90 million over budget. but bosses say the new trains will cut the journey times for passengers using the airport. let's take a look at how the tube's looking this morning. there no service on the bakerloo line between stonebridge park to harrow and wealdstone and between euston and harrow and wealdstone.

there's minor delays on the circle line and severe delays on the district line from earls court to richmond/ealing broadway. and for all the latest travel news where you are, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. the temperature we have this morning is likely to be our maximum. it's falling away as we head further through the day. the rain that is clearing over higher ground, you might get a bit of sleet, but it's largely falling as rain. a dry afternoon, the cloud breaking and some bright spells. quite breezy but the temperature dropping. these are the temperatures through this morning. by the end of the day, they will be lower. overnight tonight, the wind is a bit lighter, and it's dry and clear. it's going to be very cold, the minimum —a. we could see some ice tomorrow morning. a bright start, a cold start to the weekend. sunshine for tomorrow morning but then another front will move through on saturday bringing more cloud and rain overnight. then for sunday, once that

no idea if the gunman is waiting for them. this is kingdom hall, a place of worship forjehovah's witnesses. it is believed they were in the middle of the service when the attack took place. translation: | didn't - realise what was happening. i was filming with my phone and only realised that someone was shooting at jehovah's witnesses. then i realised what was going on. a little later, once the building had been secured, a number of people were escorted out with their hands on their heads. initially there were reports the attacker may have escaped a large city. police now believe

the gunman, may be, never. the gunman never left city hall. translation: the officers also heard a shot from the upper part _ of the building and went upstairs to where also found a body. for now, no reason has been given for this carnage. a full investigation will now begin to try to work out how these terrible events happened, a place of peace witness to such deadly violence. let's speak now to our correspondent jenny hill, who's in hamburg for us this morning. jenny, what more do we know? still quite a lot is unclear in terms of what is coming out from this tragic incident.— terms of what is coming out from this tragic incident. standing here, it is very clear— this tragic incident. standing here, it is very clear that _ this tragic incident. standing here, it is very clear that this _ this tragic incident. standing here, it is very clear that this is - this tragic incident. standing here, it is very clear that this is very i it is very clear that this is very much an ongoing investigation, investigators, forensic teams have been at the scene all night. you cannot make out the meeting hall behind me, you can see people from time to time in the window is testing the distinctive white suits,

clearly still very much trying to piece together what happened last night. we have not had much detail from the police, who have not yet confirmed just how many people lost their lives, nor how many people were injured in the attack. we expect to hear a bit more from them as the day goes on. in the meantime, the german chancellor olaf scholz in the german chancellor olaf scholz in the last hour has condemned this as a brutal act of violence. the jehovah's witness community has expressed sympathy with the victims in a statement on their website, but also with traumatised witnesses, people who have to go through the events as they unfolded inside that hall last night, but perhaps it is the queen of hamburg, who spoke for many here, when he expressed his deep shock at what had happened —— the mayor of hamburg. what motivated

somebody to carry out such a deadly and violent crime? filth. somebody to carry out such a deadly and violent crime?— and violent crime? 0h, thanks very much. heavy snowfall is expected to bring treacherous conditions across the uk today. amber weather warnings remain in place across parts of england and north wales until this afternoon — and with 50 miles per hour winds and a0 centimetres of snow expected — there are warnings of significant disruption. the m62 transpennine motorway was brought to a standstill overnight, with motorists experiencing long delays. so these are the current scenes on the m62 towards saddleworth and saddleworth moor. we are currently heading towards bradford. we have only two lanes that seem to be open at the minute.

the hard shoulderjust being cleared by grit and a snow plough but as you can see, with the wind it's actually getting quite bad again so it's not really done much. if you have a look at the right hand side two lanes, although we do have a car going up there, these lanes are actually supposed to be closing. as you can see, there's quite a lot of snow on there. i think people are actually getting a bit impatient now and driving up here to try and get through. but we've been on here now easily over an hour, and we're still stuck on here at 2.00am in the morning with no sign as to when we are actually going to get off here. in a moment, we'll get the latest from northern ireland with our correspondent emma vardy, but first let's speak to mairead smyth who's in the village of ainley top in west yorkshire. mairead, we'vejust seen the significant disruption on the m62 overnight — what's it like there this morning? real problems where i am this

morning, i am on a bridge over the m62 atjunction four, you cigarini westbound traffic has been brought to a standstill. emergency services are trying to make their way through that, but we can to get pretty educated guess that the snow is causing all the problems here this morning. many issues overnight, i spoke to some people who were stranded on the a rose, they have been diverted off the motorway, they have gone for a night out in manchester to see chris rock probably did not get home. five of them has to be picked up picked up by mountain rescue. people have been to the manchester united game, i spoke to a leeds united fan who had comments about the game, and he did seem to regret the decision, but he thought the vehicle he was and would

have gotten home, but again he had to be picked up by mountain rescue. it looks as though this will keep coming down, the amber weather warning part of country is in place until the day. warning part of country is in place until the day-— warning part of country is in place until the day. a yellow weather warning for snow and ice is in place across most of northern ireland, and a number of homes are still without power this morning, due to the severe weather conditions. our ireland correspondent emma vardy is in newtonabbey, in county antrim this morning. emma, how significant is the disruption? some heavy snow falling in parts of northern ireland, but for many parts it stopped in the early hours of the morning, so the amber weather warning has ended here, but a deal warning has ended here, but a deal warning remains in place for much of the day, i temperatures have steadily called, a lot of people waking up this morning to a good few inches of snow on the ground. police are advising people to be careful, a

number of roads of closed, and there is also a petition to the amount of dressing they can do, there's a pay dispute, so they have had to prioritise the areas most in need to be —— the amount of gritting. people are advised to check the status of their flights before travelling, are advised to check the status of theirflights before travelling, and it was of schools on the local bbc website that are closing, gradually starting to grow. plenty of warnings for people travelling to the —— a list of schools. some nice song as well today, it could be very pretty as long as you do not have to undertake any difficultjourneys. undertake any difficult journeys. thank undertake any difficultjourneys. thank you, m.

—— emma. several months ago at this stage it will country would be in recession, these are not brilliant figures but they are better than was once hoped. the gdp figures from the ons measure the value of all goods and services, they compare january to december, and we were doing more education, more involved in that, that was provided a boost, transport and storage figures also have provided a boost to these. interestingly, arts, entertainment and nutrition have

rebounded after falling in entertainment and nutrition have rebounded afterfalling in december, so that is a real boost to all of us should thoughts nutrition, something else. the should thoughts nutrition, something else. ., . ., else. the chancellor said the uk economy has — else. the chancellor said the uk economy has proved _ else. the chancellor said the uk economy has proved more i else. the chancellor said the uk i economy has proved more resilient than many expected, but there's still a long way to go, both at only 0.2%. -- still a long way to go, both at only 0.2%. —— growth at only 0.3%. the prime minister rishi sunak says he will ask france to go further in its efforts to stop migrants crossing the channel in small boats, when he holds talks with french president emmanuel macron in paris today. it is the first anglo—french summit for five years. our paris correspondent lucy williamson is in calais this morning. lucy, what can we expect from today's meeting?

good morning. i hope the weather is a bit betterfor good morning. i hope the weather is a bit better for the leaders good morning. i hope the weather is a bit betterfor the leaders in paris today. it has been five years since they met like this to talk about big issues. a walk on the table to talk about, but i think two issues will receive particular focus, one is defence the other is migration. defence obviously because of the war in ukraine, likely to be a real willingness from both sides to have a strong statement on unity and coordination, they are europe's key military players after all, and also particularly from the uk side on migration, i think rishi sunak wants to bring his new plan, his new policy to paris to talk about that. there has been a somewhat cool reception from france on that, they have pointed out the likely international... the length of time it might take to work through. also france has been very clear up until

now it is not prepared to take back returned migrants from the uk. if anything, it wants to see a wider deal with the eu on that. so we do not expect any major breakthroughs on that score, but what might be likely as more of the same, uk financing for patrols along the northern french coast, four or more high—tech equipment, the kind of things the uk says are working and are helping. but over and above everything, it is with the symbolism of this meeting that is important, to show to the world that the tensions of brexit have faded that the demands of the war in ukraine are these key allies should be seen to stand together. you are these key allies should be seen to stand together.— to stand together. you see, for the moment, to stand together. you see, for the moment. thank— to stand together. you see, for the moment, thank you _ to stand together. you see, for the moment, thank you very _ to stand together. you see, for the moment, thank you very much. i to stand together. you see, for the | moment, thank you very much. just after 7.30 this morning, we will be speaking to foreign secretary james cleverly hooters in paris ahead those talks. scientists say a global effort is needed to protect the earth's

orbit from the danger posed by space debris. they estimate that 100 trillion pieces of old satellites are not being monitored. the researchers are calling for a legally—binding treaty on managing the spacejunk. some supermarkets are lifting restrictions on the sale of certain fruits and vegetables, after supply issues caused shortages across the uk. asda will lift limits on lettuce and broccoli, whilst restrictions on cucumber purchases will be scrapped at morrisons. sales of tomatoes and peppers will still be limited by both stores. bad weather across europe and north africa was partially blamed for the supply problems. it's 7.15. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. what are snow fall behind derbyshire, is that today's picture?

yes. in whatmore has fallen behind you in overnight, lots of trans— pennine travel problems at the moment, a similar picture in north wales. it might look pretty, but at least ten inches of snow has fallen in some parts of north wales. unofficially, probably a lot more as well. that has been blown around by some pretty strong winds as well. the area is still covered by met office amber weather warnings, parts of north wales, structure, also across the peak district and a good part of the pennines as well. you can see where this is at the moment on our radar chart, there is rain for the southern counties and eastern counties of england, temperatures a little higher here, we cold air pushing southwards, some students are possible as far south as the cotswolds with this morning. a few showers across scotland, winds whiter than what we're seeing in

northern england and at the moment. even stronger ones, 50 to 60 mph from the south—west towards the channel islands. through the day, so it to ease through the monitor was northern england and north wales. someone usually follows as far south as the cotswolds, as i said, they will continue, east anglia and the far south—east, will continue, east anglia and the farsouth—east, into will continue, east anglia and the far south—east, into the end of the afternoon. but most other becoming dry and sunny, not a bad day. and as northern ireland, just a few snow showers in the north, but pulled away to the day, as tonight, to make cortical ice was very little just a saturday morning, could be as cold as —12. your weekend in some areas. tomorrow, though, after a bright start, then spreading its way and constable even pretty far north of england, scope and more disruptive snow. more details on that later. that, thanks very much. —— matt.

there's a warning this morning that one in three vaping products may fall foul of regulations — breaking the rules on nicotine strength and health warnings. trading standards officers are also concerned about vapes being sold to children, and want higher fines for shops. our reporter lucy watkinson has been to meet one headteacher who's trying to tackle vaping in his school. so these are the ones we've confiscated. loved by many... and these ones, really, are my least favourite — they're branded as sweets. ..hated by this head teacher. you can see that these smaller style ones have been easier for the children to hide. matt carpenter is trying to tackle the problem of pupils vaping in his school. you let us in to show how widespread it's become. these aren't children that would have smoked normally. it's far more across the student population and smoking ever was, because it's so easy to do, and students don't associate it with any health risks. leon, connor and oscar see themselves as addicts. two of them started vaping at 12. at first it's like a social

thing, you do it with your friends and stuff. but then after that, you start getting addicted to it, and you want to do it yourself, you do it on your own, you do it round anyone. you just can't stop. i've tried, but it puts i you in a really bad mood, your family and everything, when you try and stop. i it just doesn't really make i you a nice person to be around. and do you know what you're buying? you're buying nicotine, really. you're spending your money on nicotine and stuff. it's not something you can stop that easy. it controls the whole way that you think, and like i said, i i will literally go out and meet someone if i haven't- had one for a few days, _ and as soon as i hear someone's got it, i'llwalka mile just to get one. l the boys say that unlike them, children who have never smoked are now starting to vape. even 13, year7s, are getting onto it. they're getting onto vapesjust for the social life. not because they used to smoke or anything, not because they've been brought up in a house that smoked or whatever. so we are in the boys' toilets... mr carpenter installed vape sensors

in the toilets at his school in kidderminster to try and stop the children vaping there. what the sensors have allowed us to do is accurately pinpoint when students have been vaping in here. we've got a cctv camera outside, so that we can use the timestamps to work out when it was happening. and he says the effect has been immediate and positive. we've noticed a real reduction, 16 cases or alerts on the first day, down to one or two a week. so, we're really pleased with the impact that it's had on the school environment and also kids' behaviours and habits. so this is where we receive the alerts when we're down in the toilets... worcester council are monitoring the figures, to see if installing a sensor continues to have a positive effect on attendance and behaviour in the long term. parents here are supportive of the heads decision. i'm personally very pleased that he's done it. i've been aware of anti—social behaviour in the toilets for quite a while, so i think its innovative for him to actually consider

installing a vape sensor. given the money it costs, people will be thinking, is that a good use of funds? but actually it's having a real positive impact. connor has given up vaping. i feel better. it feels better. he supports the school's decision to try and stop it. it's smart, it's smart. it is smart. last year, for the first time ever, more 11 to 17—year—olds had tried a vape than had tried a cigarette. i understand that these vapes are helping people quit smoking, and that's a good thing for their health. but we're not talking about children that were smoking and starting to use electronic cigarettes. there're actively uptaking vapes as a lifestyle choice. they don't smoke previously, and i worry that it might lead them to smoking or that they'll be committted to the nicotine that is in them, or evenjust the habit of using the vape. so i think our public health message

needs to be very different for children in comparison to the one that we give to people who are already smoking. lucy watkinson, bbc news, kidderminster. we're joined now by professor andrew bush, and by kate pike, who's the lead officerfor vaping at trading standards. professor, people who watched that piece, had a bit about it, do you want tojust give piece, had a bit about it, do you want to just give us a basic lesson of the, the fact file on the potential risks? it of the, the fact file on the potential risks?— of the, the fact file on the potential risks? of the, the fact file on the otential risks? . ., ., , potential risks? it came out very clearl in potential risks? it came out very clearly in what _ potential risks? it came out very clearly in what was _ potential risks? it came out very clearly in what was said - potential risks? it came out very clearly in what was said in i potential risks? it came out very clearly in what was said in the i clearly in what was said in the previous section, nicotine is a drug of addiction, but these folks are doing is abducting a generation of young people, and the risks of long—term addiction are well described. nicotine is toxic to the heart, the ones, and there is a big risk that we will have a generation of nicotine addicts, quite apart from the acute toxicity and the actions you can get to vegas. idelimit

we'll be hearing all about his latest series wild isles, which shows how the uk's nature can rival anything on the planet. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. hsz, the new high speed railway line currently under construction between london and birmingham, may not reach its central london terminal at euston station until at least 2040. it was planned to open sometime between 2031 and 2036, but that's now expected to be a delayed by around three years. trains will run from old oak common in north west london instead. the government says it's had to delay parts of the project to cut costs. the metropolitan police commissioner sir mark rowley will launch a new helpline today for victims of crime — and says he intends to put them at the heart of everything the met does.

the free service will make it easier for those who have been a target to access information about their cases. it will cost £3 million — paid for by city hall who say it'll also fund a number of additional met staff who will be responsible for victims care and support. the luton dart — a driverless train system that links luton parkway train station with the airport will welcome it's first passengers later. the project, which should have opened two years ago, is £90 million over budget. but bosses say they're confident the new trains will cut the journey times for passengers going to and from the airport. let's take a look at the tube to see how it's coping this morning. there are minor delays on the bakerloo circle and jubilee lines at the moment. on the overground there's no service between clapham junction

stopped around half of the attempted crossings and we are looking at ways of making sure that we really drive those numbers down because it is in france's interest in the uk's interest to break the model of those evil people smugglers who are taking advantage of people attempting to come to europe and attempting to come to europe and attempting to come to europe and attempting to come to the uk. so, shed challenge and we are exploring ways of enhancing the work we are already doing to address that challenge. harper doing to address that challenge. how much more money are you prepared to spend on that? much more money are you prepared to spend on that?— spend on that? well, of course olicin: spend on that? well, of course policing takes _ spend on that? well, of course policing takes money _ spend on that? well, of course policing takes money and - spend on that? well, of course policing takes money and of i spend on that? well, of course i policing takes money and of course we have a financial relationship with the french authorities. i'm not going to speculate on the outcome of the negotiations that will be conducting today. but ultimately, the prime minister has said that at the prime minister has said that at the moment we've got an unprecedented number of people attempting to come to the uk

illicitly. the temporary accommodation is costing somewhere in the region of 6 million a day. we need to bring that number down enormously and that's what work we are doing through the legal migration bill in the uk and through the coordinated work we're doing with the french authorities today and in future. share with the french authorities today and in future.— with the french authorities today and in future. are you prepared as the uk government _ and in future. are you prepared as the uk government to _ and in future. are you prepared as the uk government to spend i and in future. are you prepared as| the uk government to spend more money to offer france in this case more money to help do that policing work? is there more money being offered? ~ �* offered? well, the point i'm saying is it will cost _ offered? well, the point i'm saying is it will cost money, _ offered? well, the point i'm saying is it will cost money, it _ offered? well, the point i'm saying is it will cost money, it has - offered? well, the point i'm saying is it will cost money, it has cost i is it will cost money, it has cost money and of course we will be negotiating how we fund that joint work to prevent those migration attempts across the channel. i'm not going to speculate as to the outcomes of the negotiation but we've been spending money doing this. it's right and proper that we do. and of course will be spending money in the future. the details of

seek to become economic migrants and we must understand the difference between those people fleeing persecution and fleeing war and those people who are seeking a better economic life. we have to make it clear that our refugee policies, they safe and legal routes, other people escaping persecution, war, conflict. and we have other visa based routes for people seeking to come here to contribute to how our society economically. they are very different and it's absolutely right that we have a method whereby people who are seeking to come to work here apply to the correct processes but we also have based safe and legal routes for people who may be fleeing conflict or persecution in the future. :, , . :, : future. people will have noticed that ou future. people will have noticed that you did _ future. people will have noticed that you did not _ future. people will have noticed that you did not endorse - future. people will have noticed that you did not endorse the i future. people will have noticed i that you did not endorse the words of suella braverman that, the final

way of life deeply curtailed by the chinese state. we are and always have been a generous people. i appreciate your time. thank you. i understand you are going into those talks later so we will wait and hear more from the prime minister later in the day. it's 7:43am and let's talk about the sport, all these different leagues and different teams celebrating success. : :, ' and different teams celebrating success. : :, , , success. and for different reasons because if you've _ success. and for different reasons because if you've had _ success. and for different reasons because if you've had a _ success. and for different reasons because if you've had a really i success. and for different reasons because if you've had a really bad| because if you've had a really bad day at the office, what's the best thing you can do? stick with your beliefs, keep the faith like manchester united did. the further you can full the more you can bounce back with impact. four days on from their thrashing at the hands of liverpool in the premier league, manchester united returned to action with a statement.

determined to put any hangover from that to bed with a resounding win in the europa league. united fans will have been relieved, to watch this big win of their own — beating real betis 4—1 in the first leg of their last 16 tie. marcus rashford with the opener. betis did get an equaliser before half time — before anthony put united back in front. a stunning strike. bruno fernandes added a third — before vout weghorst sealed a comfortable victory. the second leg is next week. i think we played quite good first half. ithink i think we played quite good first half. i think we should have been up to— zero or so. then we make one mistake and you go i—i into half—time but we bounced back in the second half and i think it was a really good performance in the second half. now, arsenal's hopes of reaching the quarter finals, will depend on making home advantage count. after they drew 2—2 in lisbon with sporting. william saliba giving arsenal the lead in portugal. but two goals for sporting turned the tie around — until this own goal from morita,

meant the tie, finished 2—2 — delicately poised, heading back to north london next week. and west ham put their premier league struggles behind them, to take a big step towards the quarterfinals, of the europa conference league. that's the third tier of european football, but there is still a trophy up for grabs. michail antonio got both goals in a 2—0 win over, aek larnaca in cyprus — to maintain their 100% record in europe this season. the second leg is in london next week. next to tennis and a big win for emma raducanu after recent illness and injury concerns, she secured a win in her first match since the australian open injanuary — but told the bbc afterwards she only decided to take to the court in indian wells 20 minutes before the match. tonsilitis, and the return of the wrist problem, which ended her season early last year had disrupted her preparations for what is one of the biggest competitions outside the grand slams. raducanu said she didn't feel well enough to even warm—up for this

match against danka kovinic. in factjust two minutes before she was called, she was snoozing in the treatment room. but despite that she was rarely troubled, winning easily in two sets. joining her in round two is andy murray, who made sure fans were kept on the edge of their seats by having to come from a set down. losing a first set tie break was his motivation against tomas martin etcheverry of argentina, as he fought back with great movement and deft touches to dominate the second set. and then, won the match with an ace. fellow britonjack draper is also into the second round and will face countryman dan evans next. rory mcilroy has plenty of work to do if he's to stay for the weekend at golf�*s players championship. he finished 4—over—par after his opening round in florida. of course it only takes a moment of magic to turn things around. just ask america's hayden buckley, who ended the day on i—over—par — thanks to this. relief to get over the water. and then wait a sec. no, it couldn't could it.

rollback on the 17th hole — a hole in one. and off with the cap. he couldn't believe it. he said he hadn't played well, and didn't like putting. a dream come true, he said. i think he got his hat back in the end. a specialfeeling, only i think he got his hat back in the end. a special feeling, only the second of his professional career. he wouldn't get too far is a professional golfer if you don't like hunting. —— if you don't like putting. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. causing lots of problems for people. it looks lovely but it's problematic. not for everyone but for some it's a big deal this morning. this is the view from one of our weather watches. it's one of those days. they say they are snowed in on the roads around them are blocked. further north towards

holmfirth in kirklees, just outside huddersfield, this is where we've got plenty of snow falling. the met office amber warnings remain in place at the moment across these areas, the peak district, the pennines, parts of shropshire and northern parts of wales. these are the worst affected areas but there is snow falling elsewhere and it's now starting to fall further south again. we are seeing it as far south as the chilterns on the edge of the london area. blown around by some strong winds. on the northern and western edges of this area, the storm clearing away. it will clear through the day. an improving picture. this is probably what you want to hear if you are stuck at the moment things gradually improving but for the time being, 40 mph winds in northern england. even stronger in northern england. even stronger in the south—west and the channel islands. rain showers rather than anything else here. snow turning lighter over the next couple of hours in northern england and northern wales. further sleet and

snow towards east anglia and the south—east towards the start of the afternoon where winds will remain strong. the odd snow shower. most of you become dry, a lot more sunshine around. feeling cold even with that temperature is only a few degrees above freezing. it should be a finance of the day for many. no snow pushing into scotland tonight before fizzling. ice risksjust about anywhere. rain into the south—west later but temperatures tonight widely frost levels, could be as low as —12. a bitterly cold start to the weekend. but it will be a sunny one, lots of sunshine to begin with. if you isolated snow flurries in scotland. more cloud in the south—west and wales. outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow on higher ground. elsewhere, and gradually clouding over, best of the sunshine in eastern england and temperatures

up in eastern england and temperatures up on today. overall a chilly day. three saturday, when a pushing north, significant snow in the far north, significant snow in the far north and parts of central and southern scotland. that could cause disruption three saturday night and sunday morning. the weather front clears away. it opens the door to south—westerly winds. turning milder into sunday. a lot of cloud around, the snow will be melting in many areas as temperatures start to rise. eventually we'll see some rain arriving into the south—west of the country and in fact in many western areas there will be rain, adding to the snow melt. a flood risk into monday but certainly finishing the weekend on a milder night than we started. a watford football player was praised for raising awareness of stammering, after a video of his post—match interview went viral. ken sema gave the interview with his stammer, and received an overwhelming response from people celebrating him for being a positive

the worst affected areas could now see up to 40 centimetres of snow, accompanied by winds of 50 mph, leading to blizzard conditions and significant disruption. much of the uk remains under yellow weather warnings for snow, ice or strong winds, with roads and railways likely to be affected. but overnight, three areas were under the more severe amber warnings, with the possibility of power cuts and rural communities getting cut off. in northern ireland, affected by those warnings, actually getting into your car might prove tricky. while in oldham, the gritters have been out in force. we've been out gritting since midnight and will be over the next 24 hours. this is what we plan for day to day, but yes, it puts a huge resource and stress on staffing levels and day—to—day management. rail passengers are being told to check before they set off. great northern and merseyrail warning of problems. nearly 300 schools were closed across wales because the school grounds were too icy or staff couldn't get in. many across the uk are expected to shut again today, not that the children were complaining. it's unbelievable! sledging in shetland. one farmer was feeding his sheep when he spotted a rare snow tornado. but for those who have had enough of a night in the snow,

the big thaw may not come for several more days. simon jones, bbc news. in a moment, we'll get the latest from north wales with our correspondent phil mccann. but first, let's speak to mairead smyth who's in the village of ainley top in west yorkshire. mairead, we'vejust seen the significant disruption on the m62 overnight. what's it like there this morning? traffic moving very slowly indeed, it has got worse throughout the morning. whenever we started here, it was ok, but throughout the morning, it has got really, really treacherous. the snow started to fall yesterday afternoon, it hasn't stopped, and people who do believe that these journeys they are making art still necessary have taken it to be roads, taken to the rosaries, but where i am, you can see behind be that the traffic is moving very

slowly on the westbound side. the police cars have just tried to get through, so there must be something just a little bit further on up there. eastbound, very few cars and that was away, but this was an area that was away, but this was an area that has big problems overnight, we were told by national highways junctions 20 to 22 were closed for some time, people stranded in their cars doesn't have to be picked up by mountain rescue. i spoke to some people this morning who had to spend the night on chairs and the hotel because the car they were in stock on a roads. a group of girls to gig in manchester, leeds fan had come to watch manchester united beat real betis, none of them had got home. whether one employs here until the mairead, thank you. let's find out what the picture is like in north wales

this morning now. our reporter phil mccann is in mold for us. phil, what's the situation like there? it was coming down very heavily the last time i spoke to you about an hour ago, and last time i spoke to you about an hourago, and it was last time i spoke to you about an hour ago, and it was heavy for two hours before that. it has [it up quite a bit now. quite a few cars out and about now, the council has advised people is not to travel. it took the decision yesterday to close all of the schools in the sparrow, yesterday around 300 schools, all the way across to the west coast, schools and all those areas closed, is to create double the amount of time to get here this morning. major

routes connect communities that have to be closed over the last couple of days, because they do have to traverse that kind of higher ground. what this town is waking up this morning, was undoubtedly quieter because the schools are closed, we have just seen somebody walking there, presumably on their way to work. there are two classes of people who cannot stop from coming out whether, quite a few dog walkers around the smaller, and a few in a few months ago, i saw somebody out for a jog. we'd love to see what the situation is like where you are this morning, so please do send us in your snow pictures. you can now send us a message on whatsapp — the number is 0330123 0440, orjust scan the qr code

armed police warned the week that rocked the area down, warning people of the time, wrongly as it turned out, that the perpetrator might still be at large. it is very clear that this investigation is very much ongoing. forensic experts and investigators have been at the scene all night. we have been able to see them in those distinctive white suits, going about their business this morning. german chancellor olaf scholz has condemned what happened as a brutal act of violence, and the mayor of hamburg has said he was deeply shocked, but a question uppermost in most people's mines, is one for which we do not have an answer yet. what motivated somebody to carry out such a deadly environment act?- to carry out such a deadly environment act? , ., ~ , ., environment act? jenny, thank you very much- — environment act? jenny, thank you very much- -- _ environment act? jenny, thank you very much. -- such _ environment act? jenny, thank you very much. -- such a _ environment act? jenny, thank you very much. -- such a deadly - environment act? jenny, thank you very much. -- such a deadly and i very much. -- such a deadly and violent aet- _ the prime minister rishi sunak says he will ask france to go further in its efforts to stop migrants crossing the channel in small boats, when he holds talks

with french president emmanuel macron in paris today. it is the first anglo—french summit for five years. our paris correspondent hugh schofield joins us now. hugh, what will france be looking for from the prime minister today? lots of ministers in france today, notjust lots of ministers in france today, not just the lots of ministers in france today, notjust the prime minister, to meet their counterparts in paris. we are hearing about what the prime minister wants from french president emmanuel macron, but what will he get? a, emmanuel macron, but what will he aet? �* , ., emmanuel macron, but what will he let? �* , ., ., emmanuel macron, but what will he let? , ., ., �* ., emmanuel macron, but what will he aet? , ., ., �* ., ., get? a big moment for britain and france, get? a big moment for britain and france. five _ get? a big moment for britain and france, five years _ get? a big moment for britain and france, five years since _ get? a big moment for britain and france, five years since we - france, five years since we last summit, which is to victors of the year when times were better. but as of one of those, four or five years, which is between the two countries have taken an absolute nosedive. they were at rock bottom when liz truss have the famous quote about not being able to confirm whether french president emmanuel macron was a friend or a foe. rishi sunak emphasising today that he is our friend, we need to have a good relationship with france. france is responding, saying it was delighted

that the pages have been turned. helped of course by the fact that we famous northern ireland protocol has been sorted out, which means that there is on both sides a willingness to reset. has to be question of migrants, there will be some help from the french and of corporation deal, but not this idea of returning migrants from britain to france, thatis migrants from britain to france, that is not on the cards at all. thanks very much, if you —— hugh. the uk's economy returned to growth injanuary as gdp rose by 0.3% compared with december. according to the office for national statistics, the main drivers of this were the return of children to classrooms and growth in the services sector. chancellorjeremy hunt said the economy had proved to have been resilient but acknowledged there was a "long way to go." the mother of a woman

who was bludgeoned to death with a claw hammer by her husband has met the justice secretary dominic raab to ask him to prevent his early release from jail. british airways captain robert brown was imprisoned for 26 years for the manslaughter ofjoanna simpson in 2010. our reporter yetunde yusuf has been to meet her mother dianna parkes. joanna simpson was at home in berkshire when she was killed by her husband. armed with a claw hammer, robert brown hitjoanna at least 14 times. their two children were in the playroom and heard the attack. in 2011, brown admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, and was sentenced to 26 years in prison. but more than a decade later, he is being considered for early release, and could be freed in november. joanna's mother diana parkes wants to stop brown getting out, and has met with thejustice secretary dominic raab.

he was extremely intent on listening to what we were saying, and i think he's going to look into it very closely. i pushed him very hard in terms of making commitments, and he did explicitly say that he would definitely review this case properly under his new powers. he clearly cannot make any commitment in terms of the outcome of that review. that's something that will have to play its way through. the campaign to prevent brown's early release was launched earlier this month, and is also backed by carriejohnson, the wife of the former prime minister. just astonished at the amount of publicity that we've had. absolutely astonished. and really, it's down to carrie johnson, because for years, i've been saying, who is going to monitor him for 13 years when he comes out ofjail, still has 13 years on licence? nobody really took notice, but now, thanks to carrie, and hetty, all her hard work as well, i do feel we might be getting somewhere. last year, the secretary of state was given new powers to

refer certain prisoners to the parole board to determine if they are safe to be released. they are only used in rare cases such as if there is a threat to national security or if there is a risk of serious harm to the public. today, the ministry ofjustice says dominic raab will review whether to use these powers closer to the time of robert brown's release. for diana, though, joanna's death was a tragedy that changed her family's life forever. and while nothing will bring joanna back, diana says she just wants the punishment to fit the crime, and for her daughter's killer to remain behind bars. yetunde yusuf, bbc news. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather.

some will be thinking there's nothing out there, but for others, look at was. nobody in barnsley is a great holiday. some of the worst conditions this morning have been across parts of south yorkshire into the peak district as well. the ports on the chilterns of it covering starting to develop, but this is what is way, blue skies. we still have those in the met office and the weather warnings in place across the peak district and part of the pennines, but is now starting to use and there is so elsewhere away from those morning areas. we can see how it is starting to fall further south

and some very strong runs this morning across england and wales, strong towards the south—west and the channel islands, could see gusts up the channel islands, could see gusts up to 60 mph. those living east through the day. sleet and snow in northern england and wales are starting to use, one or two shelves are still in the north—east of england, but continuing with some wintry falls. most finished some sunshine, but a wintry falls. most finished some sunshine, buta bit wintry falls. most finished some sunshine, but a bit of a cold night tonight with lows of —12 celsius. the mat, we are warmed up winds again, thanks very much. —— none of that. when elle edwards was shot dead in a pub in merseyside on christmas eve, she was just 26 years old. later today, her dad tim and the comedianjohn may will walk into liverpool on the latest leg of a journey to raise awareness

of the devastating impact that gun and knife crime can have. they hope that the people of the city willjoin them to show their support, as jayne mccubbin reports. you loved being her dad. yeah. a privileged position. absolutely, yeah. tim's daughter elle was shot dead in merseyside on christmas eve. he has warned me that three months on, he finds it almost impossible to talk about her. i can't. he could have been consumed by grief and rage, instead he wants to make a difference. we want the city and the region to come together and stand, let people know we are not putting up with this any more. it has got to change.

what is the local delicacy in wrexham? two weeks ago, these two strangers became friends, tim, a father bereaved in the most terrible circumstances, and john may, a comedian, his inspiration i saw him starting his walk from lands end tojohn o'groats, i thought i would like to get involved in that. i only intended to stay for two days... and here you are. ..and here i am, nine days in.

there has been high moments and low moments, but we have been there for each other. laughter is a healer. he comes across really well, we just connected. the scheme they are supporting is weapons down, gloves up. they put kids in the gym, the ring, and ultimately employment. a lot of these kids are economically inactive, they are not in school, not in college, they are not working. so we'd like to take these kids into the gym, teach them accountability, success, and guarantee them work at the end of it as well. this is a cause in which tim believes. it is telling us to go there. he wants to help, but this walk is helping him, too. this is giving you something, isn't it? it's giving you a reason to put one foot in front of the other.

yeah. and freedom. the open spaces. yeah, not having to deal with the chaos. yeah. for now, while he waits for the trial to start, each day he wakes and prepares to walk. to their home city. so we are going from wrexham to chester, which is exciting. closer to home. it will be emotional for you, tim. yeah, more tears. i do not mind tears. how do the family feel?

you have to help your fellow man, woman, whoever, you have to be there for people. tonight at 4.00pm, they will arrive in liverpool, and want the people of the city to join them, to make a stand against violence. you are determined to make a statement, aren't you? you want everybody out. yes. it has got to change, not for us, for the kids. it is the kids who ultimately have to make that decision to be a better person. and if they're better people, their kids will be better people, and it will go on, and that is ourjob,

that's what we're doing. that is the whole point. he has told me, i might as well come to scotland with you! i said, shake on it, we did, he is in. i know scotland is a good walk away, but it is not that far, is it? it's far enough! all i hear is love, not anger or rage, and you would be forgiven for speaking from a place of anger or rage. absolutely, and that's not a place that is good for anyone. if we make sure those kids create positivity within their own environment, ourjob is done, we can walk away. he is bringing elle on ourjourney. he wants to keep her memory alive. he is trying to light a candle at every church.

people want to punish offenders, and that is all good and well, but let's prevent it before it gets to that stage. we can punish them, but somebody has still lost their life, a family is still in pain. this is a father whose message is simple. love is stronger than hate, hope more powerful than despair. come and stand with us and justjoin us. come as one, and we'll get through it, we will win. we will win. in his daughter's cohesively wants to make a difference. i know you are dreading the asking this, you have got to tell me about your girl. filth. got to tell me about your girl. oh,

god. she was forever. a huge thank you to tim and john for talking to us. they would love to see people join them on the final stretch of today's journey. they'll be starting from the britannia pub in otterspool at 4.00pm, then they'll be arriving at liverpool's pier head at 5.00pm. breakfast is on bbc one this morning until 9.15, when morning live takes over. helen and sara can tell us what they have in store. coming up on morning live, with energy bills, food prices and council tax, it feels like a never—ending list of things getting more expensive.

there will be cancellations. we don't want to impact on yourjourneys. please check before you travel. it's been the coldest march since 2010 — and the time of year is causing concern among farmers. with it technically now being spring — many lambs are being born — keeping them warm is a priority. the challenge is making sure that the stock is ok. the calves are in the sheds and everything is inside there on the beef side, but the sheep are still out, they are out all year round. we don't house them unless there is a major problem during lambing. the worst affected areas could see 50mph winds and 40cm of snow today. a council leader in north wales has this advice. look after vulnerable people, stay warm, take care, and listen to the advice that's being given. a yellow weather warning for snow and ice is in place across most

of northern ireland — and a number of homes are still without power this morning, due to the severe weather conditions. our ireland correspondent emma vardy is in newtownabbey, in county antrim this morning. emma — how significant is the disruption? it actually looks beautiful there, because the sun is shining. i can imagine it's very cold. it does look beautiful but i know it's caused so much serious disruption. yes. beautiful but i know it's caused so much serious disruption.- beautiful but i know it's caused so much serious disruption. yes, i'm on one of the — much serious disruption. yes, i'm on one of the hills _ much serious disruption. yes, i'm on one of the hills just _ much serious disruption. yes, i'm on one of the hillsjust outside - one of the hills just outside belfast, overlooking belfast and you can see the hills behind me. a beautiful picture if you're coming out to enjoy the view. the snow was coming down really heavily last night, blizzard conditions at one point. it started to tail off in the early hours but freezing conditions, so that snow has stuck around. people will be waking up to it this morning. it might be pretty but it's

caused some pretty treacherous conditions on some roads. a number of roads are closed. the amber warning is finished but there's still a yellow weather warning in place and police are warning people to be careful particularly on some of the roads in higher areas which could be very slippery today. there's a limitation on the amount of gritting because of a pay dispute in gritting services so they are having to prioritise the roads most in need. people are being told to watch out on those roads that haven't been gritted yet. i've been watching a few school pupils looking cold, picking their way through the snow on their way to school but there is a lot of schools in northern ireland, over 100 at the last count, which are actually closed today and there still a number of homes without power. some people have been without power for around 12 hours. electricity services saying they are working on getting that sorted. last night and this morning a number of flights have been disrupted in and out of

belfast. if you don't have to contend with the travel disruption, if you aren't bothered by a power outage, it's a lovely day for getting out in the snow. we've got sunshine, blue skies, a good day for a crunchy walk and taking a few photos. a crunchy walk and taking a few hotos. �* , .., a crunchy walk and taking a few hotos. �* , , , photos. but be careful because crunchy books _ photos. but be careful because crunchy books can _ photos. but be careful because crunchy books can be _ photos. but be careful because crunchy books can be icy - photos. but be careful because crunchy books can be icy and i crunchy books can be icy and slippery too. —— crunchy walks. i think i saw that youngster in the background throwing the first snowball i've seen this morning. if you can take a moment to enjoy the view here is what it looks like. julian sent us this one of the beautiful scenery in wales.

alpacas enjoying the weather in county down, northern ireland. thanks to kerry for sending this in. iimagine i imagine they are well insulated. the cakewell family in port erin have sent us this view over the rooftops. this beautiful image is the piece hall in halifax this morning. quite a few people sending pictures of animals in the snow. this is chew enjoying the snow in cheshire this morning. and this one is from charlotte in sheffield. lots of people as well are waking up saying, no snow here, don't know what all the fuss is about. that is going to keep us updated on the

weather warnings and how it will progress through the weekend. construction on a key part of the hs2 high speed railway is to be delayed by two years. the government says the move is necessary to help cut costs. hannah can talk us through the details. you mentioned this earlier, what bits are now actually happening? you would be bits are now actually happening? m. would be forgiven for not having a clue. it's changed that many times. let's run through it. hs2 is nothing if not controversial — the largest infrastructure project in europe which supporters say will be a vital part of our future infrastructure. there have been lots of changes along the way but this is the route that's now planned — about 40% of the work has been completed on the first phase between london and birmingham. but now the government has announced the construction of the birmingham to crewe stage will be delayed by two years, it says due to rising prices. that will then have a knock—on impact on the section from crewe to manchester — and its another setback for a project that's already been

hampered by spiralling costs, delays and environmental concerns. in 2010 the whole line was forecast to cost £33 billion, that's already spiralled to at least £70 billion. most of the planned connection to leeds was scrapped in 2021 because it was deemed too expensive. so when will it be finished? services between west london and birmingham might not start for another ten years, by 2033 at the latest. originally the plan was that passengers would be using the first bit of track in just three years' time. euston station in london is currently scheduled to open later, by 2035. while further stretches to crewe and then to manchester are due to be completed by 2041 — up to eight years behind the original schedule. business groups like the cb! and northern powerhouse partnership say that while the delays are regrettable they do welcome the continued commitment

to the line up to manchester. labour say that rather then lowering costs any delays will increase them in the long term. i think that is a real question, at a time when budgets are tight, they want to cut costs right now but it could make things cost even more in the long run. could make things cost even more in the long run-— the long run. that's what inflation does, the long run. that's what inflation does. isn't _ the long run. that's what inflation does, isn't it? _ the long run. that's what inflation does, isn't it? thank— the long run. that's what inflation does, isn't it? thank you. - the long run. that's what inflation does, isn't it? thank you. now. the long run. that's what inflation | does, isn't it? thank you. now the sport. a week is a long time in sport. a week is a long time in sort. ., �* ., ., sport. a week is a long time in sort. ., ., ., sport. you've had a horrendous day at the office. _ sport. you've had a horrendous day at the office, i'm _ sport. you've had a horrendous day at the office, i'm talking _ sport. you've had a horrendous day at the office, i'm talking about - at the office, i'm talking about bruno fernandes but then he silenced his critics and it seems there is a future for him as a stand in captain because his manager has stuck by him. four days on from their thrashing at the hands of liverpool in the premier league — manchester united manager erik ten hag, stuck with the same side, as they took on spanish side real betis, and there was redemption, for the players, in a resounding 4—1 victory at old trafford.

it was i—i until anthony put united ahead, and then a moment of utter relief and importance for bruno fernandes who scored their third goal. capping an impressive performance for the stand—in captain, who was heavily criticised for his performance and attitude in that defeat to liverpool. ten hag insists he never had any doubts about fernandes. arsenal still have work to do to reach the quarter finals, after drawing in lisbon. william saliba did give arsenal the lead in portugal. but then they were shocked by two goals for the home side, which turned the tie around — it could have been worse, but for this own goal from morita, meant the tie finished 2—2 — delicately poised, heading back to north london next week. and west ham put their premier league struggles behind them to take a big step towards the quarterfinals of the europa conference league. that's the third tier of european football. but there is still a trophy up for grabs. michail antonio got both goals in a 2—0 win over aek larnaca in cyprus.

the second leg is in london next week. next to tennis and a sleep in the treatment room in the minutes before taking to the court did the trick for emma raducanu, who secured a win in her first match since the australian open injanuary — but told the bbc afterwards that because of illness and injury concerns, she only decided to take to the court in indian wells 20 minutes before the match. tonsilitis and the return of the wrist problem, which ended her season early last year, had disrupted her preparations for what is one of the biggest competitions outside the grand slams. raducanu said she didn't feel well enough to even warm—up for this match against danka kovinic, but despite that she was rarely troubled, winning easily in two sets. joining her in round two is andy murray, who made sure fans were kept on the edge of their seats by having to come from a set down. losing a first set tie break was his motivation against tomas martin etcheverry of argentina, as he fought back

with great movement and deft touches to dominate the second set. and then won the match with an ace. fellow britonjack draper is also into the second round and will face countryman dan evans next. we may still feel the grips of winter but we are only two months away from the french open. it makes ou feel a away from the french open. it makes you feel a bit — away from the french open. it makes you feel a bit better— away from the french open. it makes you feel a bit better especially - away from the french open. it makes you feel a bit better especially as - you feel a bit better especially as it's so cold today. the 95th academy awards — or oscars — takes place this weekend, so they're rolling out the red carpet in los angeles. but it's not red this year — it's champagne. i haven't seen that yet. you wouldn't — i haven't seen that yet. you wouldn't see _ i haven't seen that yet. you wouldn't see it _ i haven't seen that yet. you wouldn't see it now- i haven't seen that yet. m. wouldn't see it now because it'll get dirty. got to protect it. and it's set to be a night of close races.

here's our los angeles correspondent sophie long, with a look at some of the nominated films and artists. as we enter the final furlong, it's looking very good for michelle yeoh, for everything everywhere all at once. her nod for best actress is one of ii nominations the eccentric hit with a big heart that bent people's minds has bagged. a win for her would be historic. it's beyond me being recognised as an actress. it's like a whole community of asians coming forward and saying, you're going to do this for us, you have to do this for us. while it's well—positioned to take best picture, it left some traditional oscars voters a bit baffled, so it's still possible they could give the top prize to top gun: maverick. and they might feel more comfortable rewarding cate blanchett for her role in tar. it has six nods, including

best picture and best director. she's already won two oscars, but that doesn't mean another won't come her way. why'd you gain all that weight? someone close to me passed away. when it comes to best actor, everyone's talking about brendan fraserfor his role in the whale. but elvis has not left the building yet. it's been nominated for nine oscars, including best actor for austin butler, who, in the words of the late lisa marie presley, embodied the heart and soul of her father so beautifully. now i'm sitting here next to you, and if you're going back inside, i'm following you inside. and if you're going home, i'm following you there, too. colin farrell is also in the running for his role in the banshees of inesherin, which has nine nominations, including best picture and best supporting nods for three of his co—stars. quieter contenders for best actor are paul mescal for aftersun and the ever gracious bill nighy, nominated for the first time for his beautifully british

understated performance in living. best supporting actress, now, that's quite a field. they're all first—timers, except angela bassett for black panther: wakanda forever. and they're all super nice and rooting for each other. you know, there wasjust, like, things i didn't know about all these women and just really, like, lovely. yeah. i was really happy for them. and jamie lee curtis, i met her and she was lovely to me, and angela bassett, too. it has nothing to do about winning. it'sjust about artists connecting, women connecting, mothers connecting. and it was glorious and laughing. i mean, kerry is hilarious. but last year's ceremony was remembered for a showstopping sense of humour failure when will smith showed the world that, at the academy awards, anything can happen. sophie long, bbc news, hollywood.

there's a lot of attention on all of your information for us so take us through it. some will be out there looking out onto normal green grass butjust looking out onto normal green grass but just take a looking out onto normal green grass butjust take a look looking out onto normal green grass but just take a look at this looking out onto normal green grass butjust take a look at this on the outskirts of sheffield this morning. it's across parts of south yorkshire into the peak district where some of the biggest impacts have been. we've just had reports near barnsley of trees down, power lines down and roads blocked due to this quite wet and heavy snow. things are starting to improve full sun but we are seeing things deteriorate further south. this is in the last half an hourin south. this is in the last half an hour in the chilterns just to the west of london, the snow is returning after cloudy and wet day yesterday and starting to stick. it won't have the same impact as its head further north but this is what we've got to look forward to. it's going to be an improving day for many. sunshine out quite widely as he seen with emma vardy in northern ireland and most of you will see sunshine as we get into the

afternoon. so, there are still some met office amber warning is in force across north wales, shropshire, the peak district, the pennines but conditions are continuing to improve. there is some snow elsewhere. other yellow warnings in place on the bbc weather website. to the north and west, a storm clears out the way and then we get into those quieter conditions. before it goes, some strong winds with heavy snow from northern england, through wales to the south, strongest winds across the channel islands may be touching 60 mph. further covering eight centimetres of snow in the midlands and chilterns and cotswolds. rain at times in east anglia and the south—east. most will see sunshine into the afternoon. one or two snow flurries around north—east england, northern scotland and may be northern ireland. this afternoon, finishing the day dry, sunny but cold. cold this afternoon across the south.
