6:01 am
and the oscar goes to everything everywhere all at once... and it really did win everything, everywhere as the film scoops seven oscars including best film and best actress. michelle yeoh becomes the first woman from an asian background to win best actress at the oscars — i'm here getting all the latest reaction. brooke shields has been waiting half an hour to get into the vanity party. how ireland moved to within one win of six nations clean sweep. we reflect on all of the weekend's action. good morning. for most of us it will be a mild day with showery spells of rain. the exception is across the north of scotland, which will have snow and will be colder with gales developing. all the details later in the programme.
6:02 am
good morning. it's monday the 13th of march. our main story. junior doctors in england are about to start a three—day strike which is expected to cause major disruption to nhs services. they'll walk out at seven o'clock this morning in a row over pay and conditions. their union, the british medical association, is demanding a pay rise of 35%, which the health secretary has described as "simply unaffordable". our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. it's my hip that's hurting now. 0h... anita, a former nurse, has been waiting for weeks for an assessment on her painful ankle. knackering. she was all set to be seen on tuesday, but the strike byjunior doctors means that appointment has been pushed back towards the end of april. and i must admit, i did have a bit of a weep. ifelt like i'd been knocked back. it's like i said, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. and i've got sympathy for the doctors. i've got sympathy for a lot of people that go on strike. they're not affecting the people they should be.
6:03 am
they're affecting, you know, the people that need surgery, treatments. in a winter of strikes, this is likely to be the biggest seen by the health service in england so far. it will last from 7am today to 7am on thursday. there are nearly a8,000 junior doctors working in the nhs who are members of the biggest doctors�* union, the bma. they're calling for a pay rise of around 35%, which the union says is to make up for cuts in real pay since 2008. but nhs bosses are warning there will be widespread disruption for patients. the action is lasting longer, for three days, and it covers many more areas of the health service, so all hospitals, general practice and community services too. but there's no doubt there will be significant disruption to outpatients and to procedures that unfortunately will need to be rescheduled. if you haven't heard they're going to be rescheduled, though, of course, do turn up as normal, because some services will be running.
6:04 am
the term "junior doctors" covers everyone who's just graduated from medical school through to those with years of experience on the front line. overall, they account for more than 40% of the medical workforce. dr vasily crispi, training to become a neurosurgeon, is one of them. how would you describe the mood amongst your fellowjunior doctors? we're all in this together, because we know that the reality in which we're working is unsustainable going forward. we often talk about nhs crisis, but in reality this is nhs collapse. if we do not fight, like many other health care professionals are for our profession, for our patients now, we will not have an nhs to work in, let alone care for our patients for any longer in the future. the government has said it's disappointing that doctors have decided to strike, but that disappointment is all too real for those like anita and thousands of others who face further delays in treatment. dominic hughes, bbc news. our health reporter katharine da costa is outside
6:05 am
a hospital in oxford. we're just hearing that it is 40% of doctors classed as junior doctors, so this could be a 72 hours. that's right, widespread disruption is classed as inevitable. key areas are prioritised including emergency and intensive care and maternity services, but patients are warned that this won't be business as usual. trust leaders are worried about the impact to patient safety, and that this could set back efforts to try and tackle those long waiting list backlogs. we know already that 140,000 appointments have been cancelled this winter so far from previous strikes by other health unions, and the worry is this will take things to another level. patients are urged to still call 999 in the event of a life—threatening emergency, but other ways to use nhs
6:06 am
111 as well as gps and pharmacies. how did we get here? junior doctors were given an 8% pay rise as part of a four—year deal, and that comes to an end this month, but the doctors union says wages haven't kept up with inflation over the last 15 years, and to get back they would need a 35% pay rise. botox haven't even started with the government yet, —— even started with the government yet, “ pay even started with the government yet, —— pay talks haven't even yet, -- pay talks haven't even started with the yet, —— pay talks haven't even started with the government yet, -- pay talks haven't even started with the government yet, and the union are refusing to call off the union are refusing to call off the strikes are saying that there isn't a sensible offer on the table. there are calls to find a rapid resolution to this, but right now there seems little prospect of the bma and the government coming together to find a way out of this. katharine, for now, thank you very much indeed. there's plenty more information on the strikes and how they may impact you. you can find out more by going to the bbc news website, and all the information is there.
6:07 am
86 minutes past six. uk tech firms are anxiously waiting to find out what government support they will get after the collapse of silicon valley bank in the us. nina's been looking at this for us this morning... the bank collapsed on friday, a hole in its finances, and investor started pulling their money out, a run on the bank is a phrase you might have heard about. it is estimated around 200 tech firms here bank with them, and they are automatically protected by an insurance scheme worth around £85,000, but many of them say that is just not £85,000, but many of them say that isjust not enough, £85,000, but many of them say that is just not enough, they say without further support from the chancellor, from the government, they will go into insolvency. their employees and contracts are at risk, and we heard
6:08 am
overnight that etsy couldn't fulfil their orders and keep up with some of their payments. the government have been working around the clock, and the prime minister is in california at the moment and in the last few hours spoke from san diego seeking to reassure businesses and the wider market. i seeking to reassure businesses and the wider market.— the wider market. i understand the concern that _ the wider market. i understand the concern that people _ the wider market. i understand the concern that people have _ the wider market. i understand the concern that people have got - the wider market. i understand the l concern that people have got around what is _ concern that people have got around what is going on with silicon valley bank, _ what is going on with silicon valley bank, which is why i have been working — bank, which is why i have been working with the chancellor all weekend and talking to the regulator is about_ weekend and talking to the regulator is about finding the best solution. the government will have more to say on this— the government will have more to say on this very— the government will have more to say on this very soon, but i want to reassure — on this very soon, but i want to reassure people that we will continue _ reassure people that we will continue to support our world beating — continue to support our world beating tech sector and all the high—classjobs that it provides, but also — high—classjobs that it provides, but also that our financial system is resilient — but also that our financial system is resilient-— is resilient. slightly awkward timin: is resilient. slightly awkward timing for — is resilient. slightly awkward timing for the _ is resilient. slightly awkward timing for the prime - is resilient. slightly awkward| timing for the prime minister is resilient. slightly awkward - timing for the prime minister and the chancellor, it is just a couple of days before the budget and both of days before the budget and both of them in the past have sought to put financial firms at the heart of their vision for where our economy goes next. they said they won't bail them out like the government has donein them out like the government has done in the past when banks have
6:09 am
collapsed, but they are looking now to improve the cash flow, looking for somebody to take over, we understand, and the bank of london is one of those contenders said to be in the running. the wider issue is seeking to reassure the markets. what the chancellor said yesterday is this isn't like 2008, they won't be a chain reaction that we saw back then, but it will be interesting to see how markets react. whenever there is an element spooked in the market, there are often effects globally. market, there are often effects aloball . ., , market, there are often effects uloball. ., , ., globally. nina will stay across for us all morning, _ globally. nina will stay across for us all morning, thank— globally. nina will stay across for us all morning, thank you. - talks between the bbc and gary lineker are said to be "moving in the right direction" following his temporary removal as presenter of match of the day for criticising the government's asylum policy. the ex—england striker was asked to step back from hosting the show, which prompted other bbc sport colleagues to withdraw their labour in solidarity. our media correspondent david sillito reports on a weekend of disrupted programming, which included a match of the day 2 lasting just 15 minutes.
6:10 am
now on bbc one, sorry we are unable to show our normal match of the day, but here is highlights from today's premier league matches. this was the beginning of last night's match of the day 2. no presenter, no pundits, no commentary, and rather shorter than it should have been. it has been a weekend of disruption for the bbc as gary lineker�*s sporting colleagues downed microphones after he was pulled from match of the day. when he set out on saturday to leicester's match, it was as a fan, not a sports presenter. but there are signs that the dispute with the bbc over his politically charged tweets is moving towards a resolution. a dispute that has divided opinion, as reflected by these comments from outside old trafford. fair play to gary lineker. he's absolutely right, and any presenter that went with him is absolutely right. i can understand where lineker's coming from and a certain point of view, but there's a time and place to air that, as far as i'm concerned. and i don't think politics and sport
6:11 am
should should actually mix. ijust think someone in that position, i don't think - they should be speaking out. i never think of gary lineker and bbc together. i think gary lineker is separate from the bbc. he's freelance. he should be able to say what he wants. have you spoken to tim davie yet, mr lineker? and while gary lineker has said nothing, it's understood talks over the weekend have been moving in the right direction. however, there was quite a gulf between the two sides on friday, and with a number of conservative mps wanting action to be taken and friends and colleagues furious at how he's been treated, there will be close scrutiny of any deal they might come up with. manchester city v burnley and brighton v grimsby in the fa cup quarter finals kicks off saturday, 5:25... but with the bbc already trailing next week's fa cup fixtures, there's a certain degree of urgency to resolving this. david sillito, bbc news. voting opens at midday today
6:12 am
to elect the snp's next leader and scotland's next first minister following the resignation of nicola sturgeon last month. there are three candidates in the running for the leadership contest — current scottish health secretary humza yousaf, kate forbes and ash regan. the winner will be announced on 27th march. nina was telling us that rishi sunak is in the united states. he has travelled to california to clarify the details of a major defence deal between the uk, australia and the united states. the three countries will set out the details of a proposal to supply australia with nuclear—powered submarines. our political editor chris mason has more. the prime minister arrived here in san diego with china on his mind. the government's worried about its power and ambitions, and that's why this californian city will have no shortage of motorcades today. the australian prime minister is here, too, and so is president biden. mr sunak says the uk will spend
6:13 am
an extra £5 billion on the military over the next two years. prime minister, how will this get together here make people feel more safe back home? well, the government's first priority, my priority, is to keep our country safe. and today we're publishing our integrated review, which sets out our foreign policy and approach to security policy. and it's clear that the world has become more volatile. the threats to our security have increased. the meeting with the australian prime minister was a rather sober affair. a sparkling water for anthony albanese, a still water for rishi sunak. a deal is expected later to supply australia with nuclear—powered submarines. this gathering here in san diego, with its proud military history, is all about countering concerns about china. but at the same time, of course, there is a war raging in europe, in ukraine. and just a matter of weeks ago, we had the defense secretary, ben wallace, saying the british army was underfunded and had been hollowed out.
6:14 am
now he has welcomed this extra money being allocated, but the big question is, will it be enough? in a volatile world that is far from certain, labour claim the conservatives have failed on defence. chris mason, bbc news, in san diego. the sci—fi film everything everywhere all at once dominated the oscars, taking home seven awards, including best picture. the film's leading lady, michelle yeoh, made history as the first asian winner to take the best actress award, with brendan fraser receiving best actor for his comeback in the whale. our entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba, has the story of the night. congratulations, and welcome to the 95th oscars.
6:15 am
after 2022, when best actor winner will smith slapped host chris rock, this oscars kept rather more to the expected script, although inevitably it was the subject of a joke or two. if anyone in this theatre commits an act of violence at any point during this show, you will be awarded the oscar for best actor. the big winner... everything everywhere. ..was the groundbreaking universe—hopping fantasy, everything everywhere all at once. the film won seven awards, including best film, best director and best actress for... michelle yeoh. the first asian woman to win that oscar. all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is the beacon of hope and possibilities. this is proof that dreams dream big and dreams do come true. and ladies, don't let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime. never give up.
6:16 am
it was a historic win for the film on a historic night that celebrated the talent of american asian people working in cinema — a group so often overlooked. two of its stars, with very different backgrounds, also won, both supporting acting awards. brendan fraser. hollywood loves a comeback story. mummy star brendan fraser had mostly disappeared from sight. after winning best actor tonight for playing an obese lecturer in the whale, he dedicated his award to his fellow nominees. and it is my honour to be named alongside you in this category. there were four awards for the german language anti—war film all quiet on the western front, including one for its british cinematographer, james friend. other british winners included
6:17 am
matthew freud and charlie mackesy for the animated short film the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse. people that i've worked with, they've tolerated me for two years and they're brave and kind and thank you so much. and thank you to my mum and my family and my dog, who i've left behind, who's actually in a hotel. an irish goodbye. set in northern ireland, it won best live action short — a perfect birthday present for one of its stars, james martin. # happy birthday to you. # i won't let go till the end.# audiences for many award shows have been falling in recent years. the academy will be hoping that two huge stars singing their oscar nominated songs will have given them a welcome boost. lady gaga performed hold my hand from top gun: maverick while rihanna performed lift me up
6:18 am
from black panther: wakanda forever. but both stars were beaten to the best song oscar by the exuberant naatu naatu from rrr — one of the most successful indian films of all time. lizo mzimba, bbc news that was quite a night, wasn't it? packed a lot in there. and we will be live with colin paterson in the next couple of hours. i love oscars morning. he has thejob of next couple of hours. i love oscars morning. he has the job of trying to shout at celebrities, and it always goes a little bit wrong! it is 18 minutes past eight. how wrong is the weather going to be this week? is it going to be a little bit calmer? not particularly. there is more snow in the forecast and it is going to
6:19 am
be another busy week. we have snow and ice notjust today but tonight as well. if you are travelling once more, the met office has yellow warning is out for this. this morning we have rain, showers and also some snow, as you can see on the radar picture, so quite a lot to start the day with. we look first of all at northern ireland, england and wales. through the date you could have showers or longer spells of rain, interspersed with some sunshine, especially in the south. it will be windy. in scotland we already have snow across the far north, and that will be down to lower levels at times, sinking southwards through the course of the day. most of that will be in the hills but you could see some at lower levels too and it could be windy here as well. even in land, gail is developing across the north and the west, so they will be blizzards at times across the northern and western isles. still cold in the northern half of the country, where we see snow, but much
6:20 am
milder as we push further south. sticking with the snow, you can see as we go through the evening and overnight kind of totals that we are looking out across scotland. as we go through the rest of the country through the night, you can see how this also continues to drift steadily southwards. most of it will be on the hills, the hills for example staffordshire, shropshire, into the west hills as well, and it will be cold in the north, there will be cold in the north, there will be cold in the north, there will be some ice around, some frost, not as cold in the south. and there is more to come. carol, thank you. you deserve an oscar for that! if you watched sir david attenborough's stunning wild isles documentary last night, you'll have seen some amazing images of british wildlife. but you'll also know that nature in this country is under threat. for the first time, the three biggest conservation charities in the uk are uniting to call
6:21 am
on all sectors of society to act now to protect the natural world. the national trust, wwf and rspb want us all to take action. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, explains. killerwhales, eagles, dormice. just a few of the natural treasures featured in sir david attenborough's new series wild isles. but sir david has a warning. though rich in places, britain as a whole is one of the most nature—depleted countries in the world. never has there been a more important time to invest in our own wildlife. the heads of britain's three most powerful conservation charities want us to do just that. and they have joined forces. the national trust, 5.8 million members.
6:22 am
wwf, 1.5 million members. the rspb, 1.2 million members. so what's the problem? we've come together because, whilst we have spectacular nature here in the uk, it is in crisis. it's on the brink. we have lost so much nature in less than a lifetime. only a quarter of all our curlew chicks survive their first year. we certainly value our nature here in the uk. three quarters of us say we're worried about it, but it seems we have no idea how bad things have got. the uk is in the bottom 10% of countries globally for nature according to the natural history museum, yet more than half of those questioned in a poll for this new campaign thought britain was doing at least as well as the rest of the world. the hope is the new attenborough series will motivate
6:23 am
people to take action. so what we want to do is bring that threat to the fore so that people want to act, to care for it and to restore it. use that love which we know they have to really amplify it and make sure that everybody plays a part to make a difference. so it's really important that even in newham,| we're looking at these insects - and we're trying to track how well they're doing so that we can look after them, yeah? - so what can be done? the charities want you to go wild once a week. you could plant a wild flower window box, restore a local ecosystem with a conservation group, or tell your mp what changes you want to see. the charities hope all sections of society will take part. it will take every single one of us to play our part. it will take us as charities, but we alone can't do this. it needs to be individuals. it needs to be communities coming together. it needs to be businesses. and it needs to be our leaders. we haven't got long, sir david warns. for generations, we have celebrated
6:24 am
the beauty of the natural world right here at home, and now suddenly it has nearly gone. the good news is most ecosystems can recover so long as they get the protection they need. justin rowlatt, bbc news. we've been talking already about the oscars. they weren't the only awards taking place night. we'll be meeting retired police dog stella, fresh from her win at crufts. but we want to know about the dogs in your life and what award you think they deserve. the opposite of crufts, we want the scruffiest, the naughtiest, the most disobedient. you can now send us a message on whatsapp.
6:25 am
the number is 0330123 0440, orjust scan the qr code with your phone's camera and that will automatically start a chat with us. stella is very special and we are looking forward to meeting her. but we also want to know which dogs out there need an award for other things. you can still get in touch with us by email, and on twitter as well. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london.

6:29 am
it's a big week for the economy, with the chancellor set to unveil his budget for the year ahead on wednesday. nina is braced. it is going to be a busy week for you. yellow macro —— as yes, i am. busy week for you. yellow macro -- as yes, i am-— busy week for you. yellow macro -- as yes, i am. the chancellor wanted to steady the _ as yes, i am. the chancellor wanted to steady the ship _ as yes, i am. the chancellor wanted to steady the ship following - as yes, i am. the chancellor wanted to steady the ship following the - to steady the ship following the mini budget. some encouraging signs. the economy unexpectedly grew injanuary. the bank of england revised its predictions of a downturn, saying it will be shorter and shallower than expected. their big target now is inflation — those runaway prices — they've pledged to halve it this week. the failure of wages to keep pace with inflation has led to widespread strikes in the public and private sectors. as well as that the bank of england
6:30 am
has raised interest rates to 4%, the highest since 2008. a lot tojuggle — and we don't expect anything radical on tax cuts, for example. so where might we see some changes? well, energy bills are a huge concern for most households. and last year saw the energy price guarantee capping the amount an average household pays for its gas and electricity bills. the plan to increase that cap to £3,000 next month has brought criticism from labour, charities and energy companies. they say the recent fall in the price of wholesale gas means the government should be able to afford to maintain current levels of support at £2,500. we do expect that to be confirmed on wednesday, and the treasury has also announced that from july energy companies will not be allowed to charge extra to households which use prepayment meters. what about petrol? last year prices at the pump went up significantly.
6:31 am
although the last few months have seen incremental drops, there is pressure on mr hunt to resist the inflationary fuel duty rise that would see petrol prices increase again by about 12p a litre in april. we received a huge response when we covered the spiralling cost of childcare on breakfast last week. is the chancellor is set to address that on wednesday? it's thought that the average full time nursery place for an under two is now nearly £15,000 a year and that means that for some parents it's cheaper to give up work than pay for nursery. the chancellor says he wants to change that and the government is expected to pay childcare support to parents on universal credit up front instead of in arrears. one thing that the bank of england and others says has been hampering growth in the uk is the country's relatively high level of people
6:32 am
in long—term unemployment, so the focus on childcare is expected to be part of a package of measures designed to reverse a rise in economic inactivity since the covid pandemic. so what usually happens is that we may get some more leaks coming lea ks coming out. leaks coming out. do not expect anything too radical. this is a conservative conservative government when it comes to the economy. things will be linked incrementally. the chancellor is trying to deal with his bank situation as well. he has a hugely busy week. this his bank situation as well. he has a hugely busy week-— his bank situation as well. he has a hugely busy week. this has come from nowhere. hugely busy week. this has come from nowhere- an — hugely busy week. this has come from nowhere. an american _ hugely busy week. this has come from nowhere. an american bank— hugely busy week. this has come from nowhere. an american bank has - nowhere. an american bank has collapsed with ripples globally. hundreds of tech firms in the uk wondering what that means. he will
6:33 am
have to come up with a plan for that as well. in the two years since they met — 3 dads, andy, mike and tim, have walked hundreds of miles and raised more than a million pounds in memory of their daughters. they've now successfully petitioned for there to be a debate in parliament on whether suicide prevention should be made a compulsory part of the school curriculum. our reporter alison freeman is at westminster. good morning. today is such a huge day for the ten three macro, an acknowledgement of the campaigning they have been doing in the past. this afternoon mps will debate whether their proposal to make suicide prevention a compulsory part of the school curriculum is a good
6:34 am
idea or not. it is the rig �*s killer in the under 35 �*s. why are young people not being taught how to deal with those emotions on how to get help? there last walk brought them to westminster in october of last year. i have been taking a look back at their journey year. i have been taking a look back at theirjourney quite literally year. i have been taking a look back at their journey quite literally to get them here. as they finished their last walk, the number of signatures shot up. the 3 dads had set up a petition, calling for mps to make suicide prevention a compulsory subject on the national curriculum. the dads, tim, andy and mike had been brought together by the deaths of their daughters — emily, sophie and beth. each had taken their own life. the biggest risk to young people's lives are themselves. suicide is the biggest killer of young people. over 200 school aged children take their own lives each year. so if that's the biggest risk in their lives, why aren't we talking to them about it?
6:35 am
it's been a long journey for the dads in more ways than one. in 2021, they walked 300 miles between their three homes in cumbria, greater manchester and norfolk to highlight the risk suicide poses to young people — gaining attention from the likes of daniel craig and nicole kidman, who each donated £10,000 to the suicide prevention charity, papyrus. and last year, they walked 600 miles between all four uk parliaments to persuade mps to back their calls for suicide prevention to be taught to every child. the support from hollywood there once again. andy, mike, tim, just incredible. what you achieved last time around and what you're about to do now is just truly, truly heroic. i'm sending you love and my best wishes. shout loudly. i know you'll be heard.
6:36 am
all my very best. good luck. flipping heck. and they were backed by other famous faces from the world of entertainment and sport. you know, in all fairness, they don't look the fittest, do they? the day they finished that second challenge, the petition reached the 100,000 signature point, which meant the government had to consider debating it. and that debate is taking place later today. they have moved a long way over the last ten years to get a lot of mental health issues addressed. but the word suicide is not mentioned in the curriculum. do you think it would have made a difference to your life? the thing is, if soph had been at school and had some kind of training in suicide prevention or suicide awareness, and she'd arrived at home as a teenager, and we'd had a really challenging conversation about it, i would rather have that have happened and had that conversation than to have stood up at a funeral and deliver a eulogy. and whilst this is only
6:37 am
the first step towards a change in legislation, for the dads, it's most definitely another step in the right direction. no decision will actually be made today. the dad say the mood music they are getting from westminster is very positive. laws take a long time to change. they have been invited to meet prime minister richey �*s unite. they have also had an invitation from the education secretary suggesting they have got a lot of support. all parties will be taking part in that debate this afternoon. the dance will be in the debating hall. they will be back here in westminster at half past eight to chat to you to tell you how they are feeling about this incredibly important day in their campaigning. white macro what an important

6:39 am
for the unstoppables. all we do know is that we'll be playing against an english team that are hurting. the irish people will get behind us at home next week and be a full house full of irish, so we're looking forward to that. the scotland fullback, stuart hogg, brought up his 100th cap yesterday. his children certainly too young to remember his two tries the last time they beat the irish. six years ago. after wins against wales and england, the scots were looking to win their first triple crown in 33 years, as well as stay in contention for the title. huthones put them in front. but as ireland have shown in this championship, they don't panic. mac hansen touched down in the corner. but did he get it done in time? just. they had a one point lead at the break. and in the space of 5 minutes, they stretched that. the pressure, the patience, and now the celebrations. and some.
6:40 am
james lowe with their second score before jack conan barged his way over and calling for the line and the score, johnny sexton allowed himself a mini celebration after his conversion that equalled the six nations points scoring record 557. it shouldn't be too long before he breaks it next weekend in dublin against england. the permutations are now simple. ireland are one win away from perfection. ollie foster, bbc news, murrayfield. and you wonder what england side will show up? did you catch this one, england's worst ever defeat at twickenham, losing to france, who opened the scoring afterjust two minutes, they'd go on to score six more tries, in a 53—10 defeat. with france hoping to take the title, if ireland slip up. surely that will not happen! meanwhile wales avoided the dreaded wooden spoon with a bonus point victory over italy in rome. taulupe faletau's try after half—time handing wales their first win of the competition. it was a special day for ed slater yesterday, the former gloucester and leicester player who has motor neurone disease. he was guest of honour as the two sides met in the premiership
6:41 am
for the slater cup, the trophy theyt�*ve been contesting in his honour — the whole family bringing the trophy out. they'd also designed a special shirt for gloucester for the game. and it was leicester who came out on top, winning the trophy for the second time. arsenal are edging ever closer to theirfirst league title in 14 years. they�*re five points clear at the top of the premiership— after beating fulham 3—0 at craven cottage. all the goals came in the first half, martin odegarrd with this one. newcastle boosted their chances of champions league qualification, with a 2—1win over wolves. migeul almiron with the winner, as they picked up their first league win since mid—january. the turning point in the united game was the sending off of casemeiro, in their goalless draw with southampton. after the high of the league cup win, results have dropped off a little, this was his second red card in five weeks.
6:42 am
the table looking a bit better for west ham this morning. the point they earned against aston villa in a 1—1 draw, lifting them out of the relegation zone. holders rangers edged a step closer to defending their scottish cup title. they're into the semi finals after a comfortable 3—0 win against raith rovers — scott arfield with their final goal. rangersjoin inverness and celtic in the last four, with falkirk and ayr united play tonight. a proper chelsea performance — that's how manager emma hayes described her side's victory against manchester united — as they returned to the top of the women's super league. winning 1—0 — sam kerr with the only goal — and what a goal it was, as they move two points clear of united, who are second. chelsea also have a game in hand. there were also wins for manchester city, liverpool, arsenal and aston villa. and ever had a lucky mascot! ?

7:02 am
southwards through the day. wherever you are, it is going to be very windy. all the details later in the programme. good morning. it's monday the 13th of march. junior doctors in england are about to start a three—day strike which is expected to cause major disruption to nhs services. they've walked out this morning in a row over pay and conditions. their union — the british medical association — is demanding a pay rise of 35 %, which the health secretary has described as "simply unaffordable". our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. it's my hip that's hurting now. 0h... anita, a former nurse, has been waiting for weeks for an assessment on her painful ankle. knackering. she was all set to be seen on tuesday, but the strike byjunior doctors means that appointment has been pushed back towards the end of april. and i must admit, i did have a bit of a weep.
7:03 am
ifelt like i'd been knocked back. it's like i said, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. and i've got sympathy for the doctors. i've got sympathy for a lot of people that go on strike. they're not affecting the people they should be. they're affecting, you know, the people that need surgery, treatments. in a winter of strikes, this is likely to be the biggest seen by the health service in england so far. it will last from 7am today to 7am on thursday. there are nearly 48,000 junior doctors working in the nhs who are members of the biggest doctors' union, the bma. they're calling for a pay rise of around 35%, which the union says is to make up for cuts in real pay since 2008. but nhs bosses are warning there will be widespread disruption for patients. the action is lasting longer, for three days, and it covers many more areas of the health service, so all hospitals, general practice and community services too. but there's no doubt there will be significant disruption to outpatients and to procedures that unfortunately will need to be rescheduled.
7:04 am
if you haven't heard they're going to be rescheduled, though, of course, do turn up as normal, because some services will be running. the term "junior doctors" covers everyone who's just graduated from medical school through to those with years of experience on the front line. overall, they account for more than 40% of the medical workforce. dr vassili crispi, training to become a neurosurgeon, is one of them. how would you describe the mood amongst your fellowjunior doctors? we're all in this together, because we know that the reality in which we're working is unsustainable going forward. we often talk about nhs crisis, but in reality this is nhs collapse. if we do not fight, like many other health care professionals are for our profession, for our patients now, we will not have an nhs to work in, let alone care for our patients for any longer in the future. the government has said it's disappointing that doctors have decided to strike.
7:05 am
that disappointment is all too real for those like anita and thousands of others who face further delays in treatment. dominic hughes, bbc news. our health reporter katharine da costa is outside a hospital in oxford. katharine, how significant will this strike be? yes, this is the first time that junior doctors have walked out this winter. it is set to be the biggest and longest strike so far. you can see they are just starting to turn up, the strike started at 7am and they are already getting vocal. consultants have been drafted in to cover key priority areas like emergency services, intensive care and maternity, but health leaders are really worried about the impact on nonurgent operations and appointments, we know that 140,000 have been cancelled so far this winter caused by other strikes from other health unions. and patients and being reminded that amd is still
7:06 am
open and to come in in an emergency but otherwise use nhs111, pharmacies and gps. so how did we get here? junior doctors were given an 8% pay rise over four years, which ends this month. but they say the union is calling for a 35% pay rise because they say wages haven't kept up with inflation over the last 15 years, and junior doctors feel that many are leaving the profession to find a better paid jobs elsewhere. over the weekend the health secretary steve barclay did try and avert the strikes, offering to start pay talks, but the union refused to call it off, saying there wasn't a credible offer on the table. other health unions have paused their strike action to negotiate on pay, and that continues this week, but right now there is little prospect of finding a way out of this dispute between the government and the bma. katharine, thank ou government and the bma. katharine, thank you very _ government and the bma. katharine, thank you very much _ government and the bma. katharine, thank you very much indeed. -

7:08 am
the government and the bank of england facilitated a private sale of silicon valley bank uk at hsbc. he says deposits will be protected, with no taxpayer support. so what that means is the businesses that are reliant on that bank will be able to get their money back. hsbc is the biggest bank in europe, so it is the biggest bank in europe, so it is great news for those businesses. they will buy out the uk arm of the bank, protecting those businesses. it is good news for the chancellor. the last thing he wanted a couple of days ahead of the budget is ripples and concerns, the markets being spooked and worries around what comes next. what they can now say is that has been underwritten and we can all move forward. whether or not thatis can all move forward. whether or not that is true, whether people will worry that because interest rates are starting to go up, firms are starting to struggle, it is likely there will be concerns around that, but certainly in the last ten minutes or so, this news of a deal with hsbc brokered by the government along with the bank of england is good news for those firms who are reliant on them. find

7:10 am
when he set out on saturday to leicester's match, it was as a fan, not a sports presenter. but there are signs that the dispute with the bbc over his politically charged tweets is moving towards a resolution. a dispute that has divided opinion, as reflected by these comments from outside old trafford. fair play to gary lineker. he's absolutely right, and any presenter that went with him is absolutely right. i can understand where lineker's coming from and a certain point of view, but there's a time and place to air that, as far as i'm concerned. and i don't think politics and sport should should actually mix. ijust think someone in that position, i don't think - they should be speaking out. i never think of gary lineker and bbc together. i think gary lineker is separate from the bbc. he's freelance. he should be able to say what he wants. have you spoken to tim davie yet, mr lineker? and while gary lineker has said nothing, it's understood talks over the weekend have been moving in the right direction.
7:11 am
however, there was quite a gulf between the two sides on friday, and with a number of conservative mps wanting action to be taken and friends and colleagues furious at how he's been treated, there will be close scrutiny of any deal they might come up with. manchester city v burnley and brighton v grimsby in the fa cup quarter finals kicks off saturday, 5:25... but with the bbc already trailing next week's fa cup fixtures, there's a certain degree of urgency to resolving this. david sillito, bbc news. rishi sunak has travelled to california to finalise the details of a defence deal between australia, the uk and the united states. the three countries are set to clarify the details of a proposal to supply australia with nuclear—powered submarines. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. you didn't manage to get the trip to california, then, nick? tell us about this deal, what does it mean?
7:12 am
good morning to you. the big thing that the prime minister is going to be talking about today is defence spending. there have been big questions about the uk's defence budget, whether it is high enough, and the government saying today it was going to put £5 billion extra into defence spending over the next few years. there is also going to be a commitment to increase the amount of spending on defence to 2.5% of gross domestic product. that is quite a big deal, but there is no for it, and no firm commitment the prime minister about when we get to that 2.5%. sol prime minister about when we get to that 2.5%. so i think what we are going to hearfrom that 2.5%. so i think what we are going to hear from the government todayis going to hear from the government today is the sense that they are absolutely committed to making sure that the uk's defence capabilities are as strong as they can be, particularly with some of the uncertainty we've seen over the war in ukraine and the increasing tensions with russia. but the big
7:13 am
question is, is it enough money, given inflation, given some of those tensions that i was just talking about. the defence secretary, ben wallace, had been hoping for a lot more cash, he had been pitching for double the 5 billion that he has been promised today, and i think you are going to hear a lot of conservative mps and some labour politicians as well saying that this cash just isn't enough, and the commitment should actually be a bit higher. but all of this is of course in the context of what is happening later this week, the budget on wednesday. big questions for the government about how it is going to balance the books. so the argument you are going to hearfrom balance the books. so the argument you are going to hear from the balance the books. so the argument you are going to hearfrom the prime minister is that this is what is affordable, and they will give the uk are much stronger economic grounding when it comes to defence. 0k, nick, grounding when it comes to defence. ok, nick, thank you for now. voting opens at midday today to elect the snp's next leader and scholar�*s next

lizo mzimba, bbc news and we will be doing that dance... no, we won't. jon will be doing that dance, solo! he won't. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. any prizes for the whether? no, not at all, jon. the beginning of the week, turning colder with some snow and ice in the forecast, especially across the northern half of the country, and then it will tell milder from thursday, and it will turn windy. there is a lot of rain in the forecast and some snow, a lot of that over the hills in scotland where it is at the moment, but some of it is going to get down to lower levels. so for northern ireland, england and wales, we have
7:19 am
that mixture of rain or indeed showers interspersed with some sunshine. and also variable amounts of cloud. through the day, showers could be heavy with hail and thunder, and as we move into scotland we have got some rain, but in the north we also have the snow, a lot of it on the hills but some of it today will get down to lower levels as it sinks a little further south. again, longer spells of rain or some showers into wales and northern ireland, but wherever you are, it is going to be windy, very windy across the south and the north, but for some, windy across the south and the north, but forsome, gales windy across the south and the north, but for some, gales will north, but forsome, gales will develop. north, but for some, gales will develop. you can see it is cold in the north, but much milder as we push further south. through this evening and overnight, again we have got this system sinking south, it will produce some hill snow largely but we could see some at lower levels, and it is going to be pushing steadily southwards through the course of the night. where we have damp surfaces, we are likely to see ice, and also a widespread frost away from the far south, but in the
7:20 am
highlands, temperatures once again could get down as low as —10. cold again. thank you very much, carol. the mother of tv star caroline flack says she rejects an apology given to her by the metropolitan police over how her daughter's case was handled. the presenter was facing prosecution for assaulting her boyfriend when she killed herself in february 2020. last month the metropolitan police apologised to christine flack for not officially recording the reason why the presenter was charged. mrs flack has told newsnight�*s victoria derbyshire she doesn't accept the apology, and cannot understand why her daughter was taken into custody in the first place. in a statement, the met said a police watchdog review didn't identify any misconduct in relation to the handling of ms flack�*s arrest. you have just received a minor apology from the metropolitan police for not recording officially the reason why your daughter caroline was charged with assault. do you accept their apology?
7:21 am
no. no, because i still don't know why she was charged. they haven't said why there was no notes taken, why nothing was recorded. and thatjust seems strange to me. it just seems wrong. i don't know whether they're covering something. there were reports, and it doesn't seem enough to have charged her. or whether it was just being done on the spur of the moment and they didn't record anything. i want to ask you what you think of the fact that it went from a caution to a charge of assault. initially, the cps, the crown prosecution service, has said a caution will be suitable. but the police, the metropolitan police, appealed against that decision and ultimately she was charged.
7:22 am
um... she'd been there for many hours, and a new detective came on duty, and for some reason she decided to go against the cps decision. the first decision. and she never has given me a reason for that. if caroline hadn't been charged with assault, do you believe she would still be alive today? i do. i really do. why do you say that? because it just. .. it hurt her so much to think people would think that of her. i wish... i wish i'd done all this before carrie took her life. i wish i'd done more. then that's my biggest regret. that i didn't speak up then and do things. because now it's. .. whatever happens, it's too late. i'm guessing that you think about caroline every day.
7:23 am
yep. every day. every hour. yeah, the whole time. and when you think about her, what comes into your mind? i think about funny things, i must say, you know, with her brothers and sisters, we do laugh. and like me doing this, she would go, "oh, mum!" you know. and then just sad things that i won't, you know, she was having such a nice life. she was on such a high. and she won't be there, you know, she won't see her nieces grow up. willow, she adored and her other nieces and nephews, she won't see them. and that's sad. christine, thank you very much for talking to us. thank you. and you can see the full interview with christine flack on newsnight tonight at 10:30 on bbc two. thank you forjoining us this monday

7:26 am
50 years, but darrell and his team still need help with funding. we are absolutely desperate for money and funding, because these experiments are expensive and they need paying for. because bone cancer is underfunded, because big pharma tend to stay away from childhood cancers because they will never make their money back, we mostly rely on philanthropic funding, which is a significant source of funding for us, and we are extremely grateful for that because without donors and donations we simply wouldn't be where we are today.— where we are today. darrell is hoinr where we are today. darrell is hoping cad — where we are today. darrell is hoping cad 522 _ where we are today. darrell is hoping cad 522 will _ where we are today. darrell is hoping cad 522 will be - where we are today. darrell is i hoping cad 522 will be available where we are today. darrell is - hoping cad 522 will be available for use by the end of the decade. so there is still a way to go, but even now, darrell knows ben would be so proud of his old friend and his new bone cancer drug. mike liggins, bbc news. i'm sure he would. it is 7.26. a big morning if you are a fan of showbiz, movies and the oscars. we are live this morning outside the vanity fair

7:41 am
the bodies back together, there's lots of injured bodies in there, so what type of team will have out, we don't know but all we do know is we will be playing against an english team that are hurting, an english team that are a lot better than they showed yesterday and one that we have huge respect for. wasn't too long ago they were in a world cup final, another tough game. but i am sure the irish people will get behind us at home next weekend, it will be a full house, full of irish, so we're looking forward to that. iam sure i am sure they will. and you wonder how many beers will be enjoyed in dublin next weekend! not a great deal of enjoyment for england this weekend, this their heaviest defeat at twickenham, france scoring after two minutes, and frankly they didn't stop, six more followed. and after this performance, taking on the world's best next weekend, what will the scoreline be? wales meanwhile avoided the dreaded wooden spoon with a bonus point victory over italy in rome. taulupe faletau's try after half—time handing wales their first win of the competition. a special moment yesterday

7:46 am
adam loubani from cottingham has made the team, giving his mum and dad a surprise into the bargain. i put my name down behind my parents' back. i didn't think i was going to get through them. mysteriously out of nowhere i'm going to berlin injune. swimming's just a part of it, there is a culture. i've never been to germany either, i'm so looking forward to it. i've seen adam in a number of regional competitions local competitions, throughout the years, watched him grow literally in height and also grew up in speed, stamina, skills and everything. absolute fantastic ambassador for the special olympics, just so professional in everything he does. let me win but if i cannot win, let me be brave in the tent. how many do you think we have? 50? oh, i think it's way more than 50. adam's love of competing started ten years ago when he switched from mainstream classes to
7:47 am
the special olympics club in hull. adam had quite moderate learning disabilities and autism. _ he didn't speak until he was six or seven years of age. - the bones in his left arm are fused, | so he can't do the technical strokesj for breaststroke and butterfly. i heard about special olympics. and i found out there was a club in hull and he came out of that club... i i still remember that saturday. ..absolutely beaming. he loved it. _ within six months, _ he was in his first competition and he just kept progressing. he never stopped trying. he's always keen. he never complains. i think he'll do really well. adam will compete in the 100 metre freestyle and backstroke as well as the relay. he's excited, but in a competition environment, he's also characteristically relaxed. i'm very chilled and i'm very calm, collected. when i go in the pool,
7:48 am
i push myself to the end. of course, competition is very important, but it's new friends and going to new places. adam, good luck, we will be following yourjourney. that was jo makel reporting. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. before we go to her, there is a clue about what the weather might be like. good morning! these wee dogs were out for a walk this morning and their blow—dry was ruined by the wind! wherever you are, it will be a windy day today, particularly so across the far north of the country and the far south. these dogs were on a walk in central bedfordshire this morning. the other element of the weather is snow and ice across northern parts of the uk, notjust today but into tonight and tomorrow. the other part is rain. northern ireland, england and wales, a mixture of sunshine, longer
7:49 am
spells of rain and showers and scotland, this slow sinking south. lots on the hills but some will get down to lower levels preceded by some rain. as i mentioned, wherever you are, it will be windy. these black circles representing the strength of the wind gusts. gales for some of us. cold air in the north, hence no but further south, wild air. but that will change. the system that is bringing the rain followed by the snow is sinking south and behind that, the cold air will feed in. these are the snow totals we could see possibly even a bit more than that. through this evening and overnight, the rain and sleet and snow sinks sales and further snow in the hills for example in staffordshire and shropshire and wales. it will be a cold night. where we have had the rain, sleet and snow, we could have a problem with ice on untreated surfaces bursting and widespread frost away from the far south. ——
7:50 am
surfaces first thing. tomorrow, behind the system it will be culled right across the country. you can see the blue colours representing the colder field to the weather —— it will be cold. scattered showers and some wintry and most snow will be on the hills. also some sunshine and to nightly winds will ease, but tomorrow it is still going to be a windy day —— and tonight. only 2 degrees in aberdeen, one in lerwick and 9 in plymouth. at on the wind chill and it will feel colder. —6 is how it will field in lerwick —— if you add on the wind chill. the middle and end of the week, transient ridge of high pressure and the next system comes in from the atlantic with the weather fronts. wednesday, widespread frost and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. for some, a dry note with some sunshine. the cloud will continue to build and the weather front comes in
7:51 am
and the rain will be preceded by snow as the rain bumped into the cold air. these are our temperatures. 2—9 in the south. if anything, the wind will pick up across the northwest as we go through the course of the day. this week will certainly be topsy—turvy and unsettled. again! thank you very much. we need to put some food on your map this morning because we are some food on your map this morning because we are talking some food on your map this morning because we are talking about some food on your map this morning because we are talking about the food around the uk. i like the sound of that! you will enjoy this. from egg fried rice in glasgow... that would be great! ..to venezuelan street food in northern ireland... that would also be brilliant. the whole world really is on our doorstep at local food markets. new bbc two series the coast to coast food festival has been sampling the delights at some of the best all over the uk. presenters edith bowman and colin murray tried their hand at preparing oysters at the stranraer oyster festival.

waiting for weeks for an assessment on her painful ankle. knackering. she was all set to be seen on tuesday, but the strike byjunior doctors means that appointment has been pushed back towards the end of april. and i must admit, i did have a bit of a weep. ifelt like i'd been knocked back. it's like i said, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. and i've got sympathy for the doctors. i've got sympathy for a lot of people that go on strike. they're not affecting the people they should be. they're affecting, you know, the people that need surgery, treatments. in a winter of strikes, this is likely to be the biggest seen by the health service in england so far. it will last from 7am today to 7am on thursday. there are nearly a8,000 junior doctors working in the nhs who are members of the biggest doctors' union, the bma. they're calling for a pay rise of around 35%, which the union says is to make up for cuts in real pay since 2008. but nhs bosses are warning there will be widespread disruption for patients.
8:04 am
the action is lasting longer, for three days, and it covers many more areas of the health service, so all hospitals, general practice and community services too. but there's no doubt there will be significant disruption to outpatients and to procedures that unfortunately will need to be rescheduled. if you haven't heard they're going to be rescheduled, though, of course, do turn up as normal, because some services will be running. the term "junior doctors" covers everyone who's just graduated from medical school through to those with years of experience on the front line. overall, they account for more than 40% of the medical workforce. dr vassili crispi, training to become a neurosurgeon, is one of them. how would you describe the mood amongst your fellowjunior doctors? we're all in this together, because we know that the reality in which we're working is unsustainable going forward. we often talk about nhs crisis, but in reality this is nhs collapse. if we do not fight, like many other health care professionals
8:05 am
are for our profession, for our patients now, we will not have an nhs to work in, let alone care for our patients for any longer in the future. the government has said it's disappointing that doctors have decided to strike, but that disappointment is all too real for those like anita and thousands of others who face further delays in treatment. dominic hughes, bbc news. our health reporter katharine da costa is outside a hospital in oxford. over the next three days, this could be significant for a lot of patients?— be significant for a lot of -atients? ., �* , ., .., be significant for a lot of -atients? ., �* , ., , patients? that's right. you can see behind me we _ patients? that's right. you can see behind me we have _ patients? that's right. you can see behind me we have got _ patients? that's right. you can see behind me we have got 50 - patients? that's right. you can see behind me we have got 50 or - patients? that's right. you can see behind me we have got 50 or 60 i behind me we have got 50 or 60 junior doctors on the picket line here in oxford, that will be replicated right around england. this is the first time the junior doctors have walked out so far this winter and is set to be the largest and longest strike so far. it is seen as an escalation of industrial action, and widespread disruption

8:08 am
in the last hour, a deal has been announced to rescue the uk arm of silicon valley bank. nina has been taking a look at this for us. this is more significant than people might know, isn't it? yes, this is the bank you might not have heard of, and the crisis that nearly was but then wasn't, but it is significant nonetheless. it is an american bank, it is massive in the tech world over there and it collapsed on friday. they have had a big hole in theirfinances collapsed on friday. they have had a big hole in their finances and then customer started pulling money out and panic ensued over the weekend in the uk for the thousands of firms reliant on it here. in the last hour we have learned that the government and the bank of england brokered a deal with hsbc who will take on the uk arm. they paid £1 for it. they say this makes excellent strategic sense, it enhances their ability to serve innovative and fast growing firms in the tech and life science
8:09 am
centres. this is a huge relief for the government, in the last hour the chancellor has said he rolled up his sleeves over the weekend to make a deal was done, and he told us this. all those really important companies that had _ all those really important companies that had deposits with silicon valley— that had deposits with silicon valley bank uk can access their deposits. — valley bank uk can access their deposits, can access normal banking services _ deposits, can access normal banking services as— deposits, can access normal banking services as of this morning. it is a very— services as of this morning. it is a very important outcome, no taxpayers money _ very important outcome, no taxpayers money has — very important outcome, no taxpayers money has been used, and i think as a result— money has been used, and i think as a result of— money has been used, and i think as a result of a — money has been used, and i think as a result of a lot of hard work, it shows— a result of a lot of hard work, it shows that _ a result of a lot of hard work, it shows that the uk has great resilience and its financial system, that we _ resilience and its financial system, that we are — resilience and its financial system, that we are able to step in with one of our— that we are able to step in with one of our biggest uk banks in a situation _ of our biggest uk banks in a situation like this and protect a very— situation like this and protect a very important sector. 30 a situation like this and protect a very important sector. so a really im-ortant very important sector. so a really important moment _ very important sector. so a really important moment for _ very important sector. so a really important moment for the - very important sector. so a really - important moment for the chancellor, partly because it is a couple of days ahead of the budget so he needs to focus on that, but also because he and the prime minister have presented tech as being a pivotal part of the future and uk economic growth, a concentrated collapse of firms in that sector would have been bigger than the sum of its parts.
8:10 am
what does this say about banks more widely? inevitably there are comparisons to 2008 and the ripples that came with that. as things stand, the markets have stood firm, they have been resilient in the face of this, but it is a reminder that evenif of this, but it is a reminder that even if things start to settle following the upsets around covid and the invasion of ukraine, something like incremental increases in interest rates can really shake some firms, and they can really be felt globally. voting opens at midday today to elect the snp's next leader and scotland's next first minister — following the resignation of nicola sturgeon last month. there are three candidates in the running for the leadership contest, current scottish health secretary humza yousaf, kate forbes and ash regan. the winner will be announced on 27th march. rishi sunak has travelled to california to clarify the details of a major defence deal between the uk, australia and the united states. the three countries are set to confirm a proposal to supply australia with nuclear—powered

8:12 am
spells of rain or some showers, and it is windy. you may have heard the wind howling through the course of the night, it will continue to do so through the course of today. through the day, the snow moves a little further south, a lot of it is on the hills but some of it is getting down to lower levels, and will continue to lower levels, and will continue to do so, and we hang on to the rain and showers, and these are the strength of the gusts of wind we are expecting. widely windy, even in land it will be windy, enough to potentially bring down some small trees and certainly branches of trees and certainly branches of trees and certainly branches of trees and loose tiles. gail is developing across the north as well as we go for the day, but it is in the north that we will have the lowest temperatures, we are looking at 1-4, lowest temperatures, we are looking at1—4, mild in the lowest temperatures, we are looking at 1—4, mild in the south for now. but that will change, because this system is taking the rain and snow southwards during the night, and behind it the cold air will start to dig in. it could be —10 once again tonight in the highlands, so where we have had the precipitation today of any sort, there is the risk of
8:13 am
ice and also a widespread frost. carol, thank you. let's get a bit of sunshine and go to california. well, it is the middle of the night, actually! hollywood royalty gathered in la last night for the 95th academy awards. the sci—fi fantasy everything everywhere all at once took the top prize for best picture and the best actress nod went to michelle yeoh for the same film. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson is there. it looks like the q it looks like the 0 has subsided a little bit, colin. have they all gonein? little bit, colin. have they all one in? ,. little bit, colin. have they all one in? ~ ., little bit, colin. have they all gone in?— little bit, colin. have they all one in? ~ ., ., gone in? do you know what happened, jon? the clocks _ gone in? do you know what happened, jon? the clocks went _ gone in? do you know what happened, jon? the clocks went forward - gone in? do you know what happened, jon? the clocks went forward in - gone in? do you know what happened, jon? the clocks went forward in the i jon? the clocks went forward in the united states, so it is an hour later than it normally is, so we are after one o'clock in the morning, so no wonder the party is dying down.

8:33 am
and mike had been brought together by the deaths of their daughters emily, sophie, and beth. each had taken their own life. the biggest risk to young people's lives are themselves. suicide is the biggest killer of young people. over 200 school—aged children take their own lives each year. so, if that's the biggest risk in their lives, why aren't we talking to them about it? it's been a long journey for the dads, in more ways than one. in 2021, they walked 300 miles between their three homes in cumbria, greater manchester, and norfolk to highlight the risk suicide poses to young people, gaining attention from the likes of daniel craig and nicole kidman, who each donated £10,000 to the suicide prevention charity papyrus. and last year, they walked 600 miles between all four uk parliaments to persuade mps to back their calls for suicide prevention to be taught to every child. the support from hollywood

there once again. andy, mike, tim. just incredible what you achieved last time around and what you're about to do now is just truly, truly heroic. i'm sending you love and my best wishes. shout loudly. i know you'll be heard. all my very best. good luck. flippin' heck! and they were backed by other famous faces from the world of entertainment and sport. you know, in all fairness, you don't look the fittest, do they? the day they finished that second challenge, the petition reached the 100,000 signature point, which meant the government had to consider debating it. and that debate is taking place later today. they have moved a long way over the last ten years to get a lot of mental health issues addressed. but the word suicide is not mentioned in the... in the curriculum. do you think it would have made
8:35 am
a difference to your life? i think the thing is, if soph had been at school and had some kind of training in suicide prevention or suicide awareness, and she'd arrived at home as a teenager and we'd had a really challenging conversation about it... i would rather have that have happened and had that conversation than to stood up at the funeral and deliver a eulogy. and whilst this is only the first step towards a change in legislation for the dads, it's most definitely another step in the right direction. alison freeman, bbc news. they've made it to parliament, inside parliament. we're joined now by the 3 dads walking group — andy airey, mike palmer and tim owen. good morning to all three of you, it is good to see you.— is good to see you. good morning. and , is good to see you. good morning. andy. you — is good to see you. good morning. andy. you are _ is good to see you. good morning. andy, you are there, _ is good to see you. good morning. andy, you are there, you - is good to see you. good morning. andy, you are there, you are - is good to see you. good morning. andy, you are there, you are in i andy, you are there, you are in parliament, where you wanted to be, what does that mean to you? it’s what does that mean to you? it's 'ust uuite what does that mean to you? it�*s just quite odd, really! very surreal. we didn't choose to be on

8:39 am
and the thing that stuck out for us was that if suicide is the biggest killerfor was that if suicide is the biggest killer for young was that if suicide is the biggest killerfor young people, surely we need to talk about it. if that is the biggest risk in their lives we need to speak to them. and we have talked to so many people now, lots of teachers and charities and we had the great pleasure of actually being with every life matters earlier on this year. just before christmas. and it is not complicated. it is challenging and it is a difficult subject, but what we are asking to see is a a range of appropriate lessons. looking at help seeking behaviour and encouraging our young people and training them to reach out for help when things are difficult and hard. but then building on that right through school and actually talking about suicide and talking about the biggest risk in their lives. because
8:40 am
if we don't talk to them about it, they will find out through some other means. they will be looking on their mobile devices and that is not their mobile devices and that is not the way for our young people to be talked about suicide and suicide prevention. we need to do it, we need to do it as a society and we as parents and grown—ups need to grow up parents and grown—ups need to grow up and talk about it. i parents and grown-ups need to grow up and talk about it.— up and talk about it. i think we have a statement _ up and talk about it. i think we have a statement here - up and talk about it. i think we have a statement here from i up and talk about it. i think we l have a statement here from the government, who say that they welcome the work that the three of you are doing to raise awareness of what they call this important issue. they say that schools can teach older pupils about suicide in an age appropriate and sensitive way. from the statement, it sounds like they are looking at the curriculum at the moment, you say, mike. do you get a sense that there could be an open door and you might get what you are calling for? door and you might get what you are callin: for? . door and you might get what you are callin: for? , ., , ., calling for? yes, i really do. there's a — calling for? yes, i really do. there's a lot _ calling for? yes, i really do. there's a lot of, _ calling for? yes, i really do. there's a lot of, on - calling for? yes, i really do. there's a lot of, on the - calling for? yes, i really do. i there's a lot of, on the replies calling for? yes, i really do. - there's a lot of, on the replies we have _ there's a lot of, on the replies we have had — there's a lot of, on the replies we have had from the department for education. — have had from the department for education, there is a lot of can and

8:44 am
not before one of the biggest weeks for the sport. in football, in golf, they wouldn't change... they wouldn't change a big rule like... like that midway through their season and approaching to the biggest four days of our... of our calendar. we will be talking about that over the coming days. and we know how many irish racegoers make the trip to cheltenham with st patrick's day on friday as well. what a weekend in dublin in the offing next weekend, ireland now win away from a six nations grand slam. picture the scene. how exciting it is going to be if they can get past england in dublin this weekend. it doesn't get much bigger than that, does it? you wonder what english side will show up. the number one side in world rugby showing why they top the pile after beating scotland here, who actually took the lead at murrayfield. but the lead wouldn't last... jack conan's tryjust after the hour was enough to settle the game despite a lot of injuries
8:45 am
for ireland, that puts them one win away from a perfect tournament if they beat england.. not a great deal of enjoyment for england this weekend, this their heaviest defeat at twickenham, france scoring after two minutes, and frankly they didn't stop, six more followed. and after this performance, taking on the world's best next weekend, what will the scoreline be? wales, meanwhile, avoided the dreaded "wooden spoon" with a bonus point victory over italy in rome. taulupe faletau's try after half—time handing wales their first win of the competition. a big evening of tennis ahead, as well. at indian wells later — it's a busy day of british action as andy murray prepares to face jack draper tonight, in an all british match up, whilst emma raducanu is also in third round action. cameron norrie is already into the last 16 — but not without a scare. he came from a set down to beat japan's taro daniel — a player ranked 91 places below him. but murray at 35, against draper
8:46 am
at 21, going to be fascinating. we are getting a glimpse not of the past, not that he has hanging up his racket any time soon but jack past, not that he has hanging up his racket any time soon butjack draper will be a big face of british tennis —— not that he is. it is 8:46am. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. she is giving us a hint about what might be coming. that she is giving us a hint about what might be coming.— she is giving us a hint about what might be coming. that is right, good mornin: , might be coming. that is right, good morning. some _ might be coming. that is right, good morning, some of _ might be coming. that is right, good morning, some of us _ might be coming. that is right, good morning, some of us starting - might be coming. that is right, good morning, some of us starting the - might be coming. that is right, good | morning, some of us starting the day with snow from this weather watcher's picture. snow in the fog is notjust today but watcher's picture. snow in the fog is not just today but also watcher's picture. snow in the fog is notjust today but also tonight and the early part of tomorrow as well as ice across northern areas. at the moment, we have a lot of rain and showers. if you are travelling, lots of surface water and spray on the roads and we already have that snow moving south across scotland. northern ireland, england and wales, in summary, you will have some
8:47 am
sunshine, some showers, some of which could be heavy with thunder and hail and longer spells of rain but in scotland, we have this snow sinking south, preceded by some rain. most of the snow on the hills but we will see it at lower levels. wherever you are, it will be a very windy day, especially in the far north and in the south. even in land, enough so to bring down some small branches or uproot small trees. temperatures today, it will only be three degrees at best in scotland but still in the milder air as we come further south. this evening and overnight, hill snow coming south preceded by the rain. and these are the totals that you can expect and the levels you can expect it. not out of the realms of possibility we could see even more than that chart is showing. the rest of the evening and overnight, all of sinks south, most and it could be a bit of sleet in the morning. the
8:48 am
precipitation, where it has fallen, we could see ice on untreated surfaces. —10 in parts of the highlands. surfaces. -10 in parts of the highlands-— surfaces. -10 in parts of the highlands. that looks chilly! thank you, carol! if you watched sir david attenborough's stunning wild isles documentary last night, you'll have seen some amazing images of british wildlife. but you'll also know that nature in this country is under threat. for the first time, the three biggest conservation charities in the uk are uniting to call on all sectors of society to act now to protect the natural world. the national trust, wwf and rspb want us all to take action. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, explains. killerwhales, eagles, dormice. just a few of the natural treasures featured in sir david attenborough's new series wild isles. but sir david has a warning. though rich in places,
8:49 am
britain as a whole is one of the most nature—depleted countries in the world. never has there been a more important time to invest in our own wildlife. the heads of britain's three most powerful conservation charities want us to do just that. and they have joined forces. the national trust, 5.8 million members. wwf,1.5 million members. the rspb,1.2 million members. so, what's the problem? we've come together because, whilst we have spectacular nature here in the uk, it is in crisis. it's on the brink. we have lost so much nature in less than a lifetime. sir david: only a quarter of all our curlew chicks i survive their first year. we certainly value our nature here in the uk. three quarters of us say
8:50 am
we're worried about it, but it seems we have no idea how bad things have got. the uk is in the bottom 10% of countries globally for nature, according to the natural history museum, yet more than half of those questioned in a poll for this new campaign thought britain was doing at least as well as the rest of the world. the hope is the new attenborough series will motivate people to take action. so, what we want to do is bring that threat to the fore so that people want to act, to care for it and to restore it. use that love which we know they have to really amplify it and make sure that everybody plays a part to make a difference. so, it's really important that even in newham, i we're looking at these insects - and we're trying to track how well they're doing so that we can look after them, yeah? - so, what can be done? the charities want you to go wild once a week. you could plant a wild flower window box, restore a local ecosystem with a conservation group,
