1:31 pm
here's louise lear. hi there. we quite literally have had everything bar the kitsch sink so far this march. it is often nope as the transition from winter into spring and it can be turbulent so i want to start off with a snapshot of newcastle throughout the week, this could be any city across the country, and look at this roller—coaster ride. today mild wet and windyer tomorrow the cold air is set to return, we could see further wintry showers and then mild wet and windy by the time we head towards the weekend. what an earth is going off? well, at the moment this is frontal system is the dividing line between very mild and very windy weather down to the south and some what colder with a northerly component returning and pushing down from scotland, that is going to move steadily southwards as we go through the remendser of day. yes it is rain and snow, across scotland, at the moment, it is a showery mix, some of the showers sharp, across england and wales, and northern ireland,
1:32 pm
maybe the odd rumble of thunder central and southern parts, largely fine with sunny spells and a few isolated showers but it is very windy, gusts in excess of 50mph from a southerly direction, northerly winds across scotland, so look at the difference with with the temperature. with that southerly wind despite gusts we have temperatures way above where they should be for this time of the year, 11 to 14 degrees but cold ii to 14 degrees but cold further north, and particularly when you factor in the strength and the direction of that wind, so that cold air is on its way, we will see some showers moving southwards, a wintry flavour in there as well through the night. ice could be a problem first thing tomorrow morning, as we see those temperatures fall away sharply, so a real shock to the system again tomorrow, way below freezing in scotland, northern england and parts of northern ireland. cloudy and drizzly to begin with across the south, some sunshine through tomorrow and a scattering of the showers but those showers because of that wind and colder air could still once again have a bit of
1:33 pm
rain, sleet and snow mixed in there and temperatures really down on what we have got today, particularly through england and wales and feeling much colder, clear skies by day, lead to clear skies through the night. wednesday will be a cold start, widespread frost, gardeners and growers take note for that but it should be a dry one with some sunshine around, clouding over, once again out to the west, potential for more snow to develop as it bumps ips to the colder airfor a more snow to develop as it bumps ips to the colder air for a time across north—west england and southern scotland. and you can see on tops on wednesday really starting to struggle. more wet and windy weather is expected from thursday, on wards and it is going to turn much milder. thank you. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. gary lineker will return to present match of the day on the bbc after reaching a deal with the corporation. lineker was taken off air following a row about impartiality after he criticised the government's new asylum policy — a move which triggered widespread disruption to the bbc�*s football coverage across the weekend. jane dougall has been following the story. a resolution has been reached — what's happened? yes, gary lineker had tweeted saying that no matter how difficult this was, it was nowhere near as difficult as having to flee your

home, which is the issue that started this issue. he started by thanking the bbc�*s director general tim davie and significantly the director—general said in a statement there will be a review led by an independent expert on the bbc�*s existing social media guidance with a focus on how it applies to freelancers outside of news and current affairs and crucially that is the issue which many feel has been a great area and which many feel needs to be addressed. —— which has been a grey area. in feel needs to be addressed. -- which has been a grey area.— has been a grey area. in terms of sort has been a grey area. in terms of sport output. _ has been a grey area. in terms of sport output, this _ has been a grey area. in terms of sport output, this had _ has been a grey area. in terms of sport output, this had to - has been a grey area. in terms of sport output, this had to be - sport output, this had to be resolved quickly, didn't it? yes, the fa cup _ resolved quickly, didn't it? yes, the fa cup quarterfinals - resolved quickly, didn't it? yes, the fa cup quarterfinals are - resolved quickly, didn't it? 133 the fa cup quarterfinals are this weekend and the bbc has live coverage of it so it was crucial this issue was resolved in orderfor gary lineker to be able to present live coverage of much of the day of the fa cup quarterfinal so it will be a huge two relief to many that they resolution has been reached because just to remind viewers at
1:36 pm
the weekend the bbc football coverage was heavily disrupted with gary lineker taken off air for commenting on government asylum plan saying we stop the boats bill was an immeasurably cruel policy directed that the most vulnerable people in language not dissimilar to that used by germany in the 30s and the corporation's director—general said that message sent to gary lineker�*s 8.8 million followers breached impartiality guidelines but it is what followed that was unprecedented with fellow presenters, commentators and pundits all pulling out of coverage in solidarity with gary lineker leaving the corporation a very difficult situation with an obligation to provide coverage of sport but with very few people to do it. obviously they wanted to avoid a repeat of that situation and it seems they have reached a resolution. now to tennis... at indian wells later — it's a busy day of british action as andy murray prepares to play 20 year old, jack draper, a player that murray has mentored.

president biden has been saying that people should rest assured that the us banking system remains safe after the silicon valley bank. it is the biggest us bank to collapse for 15 years and in a televised address from the white house, mr biden said that the country had enacted to make sure that the would get all their money, speaking as wall street was about to begin the week's trading and on sunday a new york bank signature was also enclosed on european market shares in major banks have fallen sharply. let's listen to whatjoe biden had to say. thanks to the quick actions by my administration of the past few days, americans can have confidence the banking system is safe and deposits will be there when you need them. small businesses across the country that deposit accounts in these banks can breathe easier knowing they will be able to pay their workers and their bills and the hard—working employees can breathe easier as
1:43 pm
well. last week, when we learned of the problems in the banks, and the impact it could have on jobs and small businesses, banking systems overall, i instructed my team to act quickly to protect those interests and they have done that. on friday, the government that might governor in charge, took influence over silicon valley bank assets and then took control of our signature bank assets. a team of banking regulators have taken action.— have taken action. president joe biden. 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, caroline's mother, for not officially recording the reason why the presenter was charged.
1:44 pm
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? 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
1:45 pm
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. 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. ..
1:46 pm
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. 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
1:47 pm
nieces and nephews, she won't see them. and that's sad. christine, thank you very much for talking to us. thank you. you can hear the full interview with christine flack on newsnight tonight at ten—thirty on bbc 2. high energy costs, labour shortages and lower food prices all mean life for british farmers is as hard as it's ever been. many are now diversifying their businesses to try to stay afloat. luke hanrahan has been to see one farm in kent is doing. if i could keep them outside all winter. this fourth generation cattle farm is giving up its herd. the rampant cost of inflation has taken its toll. cows now too expensive to feed and house during the winter months. we will look at ways to either get out of farming or reduce the risk even more.
1:48 pm
i really want to keep on farming. sometimes your hands forced, isn't it? across the uk it's crunch time for farmers. many have already had to scale back their operations following a shortage in seasonal workers. so this used to be all cattle barns and now we have containers in here for self storage. this cow shed is now a storage facility for anyone who needs it and where wheat once grew solar panels have now been installed. about 30% inflation, fertilizer costs, fuel gone up, chemicals, all these different things and no government support. we aren't getting bailed out at all.
1:49 pm
foxy we've just got to fend for ourselves, try and find more income. vegetables have been grown on this field for decades. last year it was beetroot. but from april, vines are going to be planted here. and that's a decision taken directly because of inflation and a shortage of labour. energy costs, fertilizer costs, seed costs, packaging costs, shortage of labour. growers now are getting less and less keen to invest money in growing crops for a very limited return. david's kent farm doubles up as a food distribution business alongside his own home grown produce. he imports wholesale to sell to independent shops his decision to stop growing vegetables in favour of wine, part of a trend which some find concerning if farmers keep moving away from producing food. how will britain feed itself? there's a window of opportunity to avert the worst crisis, but it's a very short window and we need to act now. if it's not sorted over the next two or three months, then we really are looking
1:50 pm
at significant problems. the government says it's reinvesting £2.11 billion into the farming sector each year and that it's accelerating and expanding its payment offer so that there's something for every farmer. in the meantime, changes in the countryside are afoot as businesses adjust to their shifting reality. producing less food for some farmers is likely to be the outcome. luke hanrahan, bbc news. scientists have developed a new drug that could treat primary bone cancer, one of the most common forms of cancer in children. lead researcher, doctor darrell green lost his best friend to cancer when he was younger, and has been speaking to the bbc�*s mike liggins. me and ben grew up together, we met on the first day of school, and unfortunately at 12 years old he was diagnosed with bone cancer. what was my first experience of death. darrell green's best friend at school was ben morley, who died when he was 13 years old. so when darrell became a scientist, he knew he wanted to help find a cure for bone cancer.
1:51 pm
i think about ben every day. whenever something is tough you are here late at night or something isn't working and you feel like chucking it in, ijust remember, he is not here to be given the opportunity himself to do something that he really wants to do, and there are other families and other patients that i have met who don't even have the opportunity to come to work. and when you think about them and you think about that, itjust gives you that extra enthusiasm to just spur you on and get you over the line, as it were. we first filmed with darrell when he was at the start of a scientific quest in 2015. then in 2020 we went back to see how he was getting on. so this was the target protein that you are looking for? yes, good. today, darrell and his team at the university of east anglia finally have the drug which it's hoped will save thousands of lives across the world. if everything fell into place and we have all of the funding to go through these next set of experiments, one after the other, we could be looking at a human clinical trial within two to three years.
1:52 pm
the drug, called cad 522, blocks a gene associated with driving the cancer�*s spread. it is thought to be the biggest breakthrough in the treatment of bone cancer in close to 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. 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.

most of us have kept the odd secret from our parents over the years but adam loubani managed to keep a real whopper to himself. a keen swimmer, adam tried out to represent great britain at the special olympics in berlin this summer — without telling his folks. but they know now because he made the team. jo makel went to east yorkshire to meet him. it's the first time the special olympics gb swim team has competed together. this gala in beverley is training for what lies ahead in berlin. adam loubani from cottingham has made the team, giving his mum and dad a surprise into the bargain. i put my name down
1:54 pm
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 attempt. 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 the special olympics club in hull. adam had quite moderate learning disabilities and autism. _
1:55 pm
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 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 stops 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, i push myself to the end. of course, competition is very important, but it's also meeting
1:56 pm
new friends and going to new places. that was jo makel reporting. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise lear. hello there. the transition from winter into spring can often be quite a roller coaster ride. take for example newcastle throughout this week, but it's a perfect indication of what i'm talking about today. mild, wet and windy. but the cold air is set to return before the milder and wetter and windy weather wins out towards the end of the week. so basically no two days the same. this frontal system is the dividing line between the milder air to the south and the colder air from the north. but it's set to return as we go through the latter stages of today and into tomorrow. but for the rest of the afternoon, we keep some sunny spells across central and southern england, a rash of showers, some of them heavy with some hail and thunder mixed in there.
1:57 pm
and more of a wintry mix in that colder air as we continue into the far north of scotland. windy as well, widespread gales across the country. but look at the difference with the south—westerly wind at this time of year. it brings out milder feel temperatures above where they should be for the time of year. but in that northerly wind gusts in excess of 50 miles an hour, the temperatures are struggling and it feels cold once again. now, that cold air will continue to push south as the frontal system clears, the rain sinks south and then we'll see a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow. but as the showers ease, ice could be an issue. first thing as we see, temperatures really significantly colder than the nightjust past. so we're going to start off
1:58 pm
on tuesday with the showers. so it's clear away from the south, clearer skies behind, mind you, some sunshine into tuesday, but it's going to be a cold day with that northerly wind, particularly on exposed coast with a few scattered showers running through wales and northern england. temperatures significantly down on what we've had today. those clear skies by day will continue through the night. wednesday morning is going to be a bitterly cold start with a widespread frost. but we will have some sunshine to begin with on wednesday clouding over from the west as we go through the afternoon. more rain to come in from the west as it bumps into that cold air for a time across northern ireland, northwest england, southern scotland, we could see a spell of yet more snow. but once that front starts to move through, the milder air pushes back plenty of isobars on the charts. it turns wetter and windier towards the end of the week. so, yes, we're going to see some colder weather for the next couple of days, but mild, wet and windy from thursday onwards.
