good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: president biden says vladimir putin "clearly committed war crimes" as the international criminal court issues an arrest warrant for the russian leader over the war in ukraine junior doctors say there'll be no more strikes while pay talks take place with the government. phenomenal! with the government. more than 30 million pounds has been raised for good causes in this year's comic relief. crunchtime for ireland in the six nations. they have the chance to win

the grand slam in dublin against england on st patrick's day weekend. good morning, this weekend is shaping up to be a tale of two halves, today a case of sunny spells and scattered sharp showers but mild for all, tomorrow will be a little bit quieterforjust that for all, tomorrow will be a little bit quieter forjust that little bit cooler, all the details coming up shortly. it's saturday march 18th. our top story — president biden has said vladimir putin has "clearly committed war crimes" after the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for the russian president. the icc alleges he is responsible for criminal acts, and failing to use his presidential powers to stop children being deported from ukraine to russia. our correspondent helena wilkinson reports. it helena wilkinson reports. is a war that he ordered that it is a war that he ordered, a war that brought death and devastation,

a war that sent millions fleeing for their lives. but it's one that has now left president putin a accused of war crimes by an international court, and even more isolated on the world stage. the court, and even more isolated on the world stage-— world stage. the 'udges have reviewed the _ world stage. the judges have reviewed the information - world stage. the judges have reviewed the information and evidence submitted by the prosecutor and determined that there are credible allegations against these persons for the alleged crimes stop by the international criminal court, based in the hague, alleges the russian leader and another official are individually responsible for the war crime of unlawfully deporting children from ukraine to russia. this was the reaction from president biden to the icc�*s move. i think it justifies it, and the question is it's not recognised internationally by us either, so it makes a very strong point to. he has clearly

it's the second walk out this week in the long—running dispute about pay, job security and working conditions. passengers are being advised to check before they travel. protesters have clashed with police once again in central paris over the french government's pension reforms. thousands of demonstrators lit fires and some threw firecrackers at police, who used tear gas to disperse them. it's the second night of unrest since president macron decided to push through the controversial reforms to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote. reports in american media say the us government is investigating the chinese parent company of the social media app tiktok, for possible spying. an investigation was launched late last year, after data from tiktok users in the usa were inappropriately obtained. in a statement, the company called bytedance, condemned the actions of the individuals found to have been involved, saying they were no longer employed by the company.

the usjustice department has told bytedance to sell its shares in tiktok, or the app could face a us ban. a deal to allow ukraine to export grain by sea is due to expire today, and it's uncertain whether moscow and kyiv can agree terms to extend it. the black sea grain initiative, which also allows russia to continue selling its grain and fertilisers, was brokered by the united nations in july. since then, ukraine has exported 25 million tons of grain, mainly to the developing world, including several countries which were on the verge of famine. the situation is not quite as critical as it was one year ago, because ukraine's harvest firstly will be lower this year because of there is less exported, and others have planted and are harvesting more, the us green output is forecasted to be higher this year, and food prices are a lot lower than

they were, but it would still be a significant blow if this programme is not continued. the actor sam neill has revealed he's been diagnosed with what he calls a "ferocious" cancer. the peaky blinders star says he fell ill while publicising the latest jurassic world film last march. he's had treatment for non—hodgkin lymphoma, including chemotherapy, but says he's now in remission and feels positive about the future. comic relief bosses have praised the generosity of the british public after this year's red nose day raised more than 30 million pounds. most of the money, which will help uk charities and some of the world's poorest people, was donated during a three—hour programme of spoofs, songs and sketches on bbc one last night. graham satchell was watching. comic relief started with the regeneration, so lenny henry, part of the show from the sale transforming into the former doctor, david tennant, one of this year's

some poor visibility out towards the north—west of england and across parts of aberdeenshire at the moment, some patchy mist and fired. into the afternoon, scattered showers with light winds around, some of the show is slow—moving with the odd rumble of thunder. these areas are seeing the better of the drier weather and temperatures peaking at 15 degrees but into northern ireland, and much of western and central scotland we will see the outline of more persistent showers developing and it will turn quite heavy into the northern isles, so as it drifts its way steadily eastward, a wintry mix easing through the northern isles, a band of cloud clearing away to the south—east and i declaring skies, temperatures are likely to have away, so a cooler start to monday morning, you will notice the difference if you are up early enough but this bump in the isobar, a ridge of high pressure, staying with us briefly on sunday before more wet weather starts to push and from the atlantic so make the most

of sunday's weather if you can, get out and about and enjoy the sunshine we have got, light winds through the day, gradually clouding overfrom the west as we go into the afternoon but they will be some rain, slowly pushing into northern ireland by the end of the day, but ahead of it we will stay dry, settled with some sunshine and temperatures generally around 8— i3 sunshine and temperatures generally around 8— 13 degrees, a degree also down after that cooler start, but then, monday into tuesday and for most of next week, we see one area of low pressure being replaced by yet another, plenty of isobars on the charts, that translates into wet and windy week ahead, so it looks likely it will stay pretty unsettled, temperatures about wherever they should be but this time of the year. ie wherever they should be but this time of the year.— wherever they should be but this time of the year. 13 minutes past six. a breakthrough was made this week in the long running nurses pay dispute, after unions suspended strikes while they consider a new pay offer. even if the deal is accepted though, it's unlikely to immediately solve the problem of recruiting

a £153,000 refund despite not being automatically entitled to one. and we'll be finding out more about that story with the bbc money box reporter dan whitworth at 8.15. it is remarkable how that evolved and the efforts put in to get that gentleman's money back so it'll be interesting to hear from gentleman's money back so it'll be interesting to hearfrom him later. now, i love inventions and technology and this is one that i understand is really useful. experts at nottingham trent university happen looking at ways to prevent people from falling or to monitor people from falling or to monitor people who are at risk of falling because especially the elderly when they fall it can be a step towards becoming more and more ill because you obviously lose mobility. so they have invented a sock, right, but you put over the foot, you put over your fault or over the sock that you are wearing and it has this motion

sensor embedded in the ankle. can you see it? there we go. it has this motion sensor and connects to a phone via bluetooth or another device. dammit there is a process, an algorithm which processes all of the movement data, so it kind of figures out how the person moves. any movement detected to be unusual, so it could be a fall or nearfull, and then it triggers an alarm on the phone, right? galic so it will alert someone? exactly. so somebody is living on their own. exactly, oran so somebody is living on their own. exactly, or an elderly person in a care home or whatever you can monitor them. and so it is really critical — it is communicative — if theyjust have a wobble it prevents one of the worst fall from coming. the danger could be that any untoward movement that is not a

kylie minogue is a duck. helena bonham carter is a cow. so he has named all of these animals off... if you didn't have a sentence before and after and we just kind of clip due abusing all of these actors, calling them names, that is what it sounded like. is there a fence or somebody being called a chicken? i suppose it isn't good anyway. i don't think helena bonham carter would like to be called a car. i suspect she knows by now, they go back a long way, i think she can deal with it. anyway, samuel is obviously going through quite a bit and it sounds like — they did an interview because basically he has a book out and it sounds like a really interesting read. that is some of the lightest of he talks about, his own situation and how it has made her more philosophical about life. good morning, what animal would you like to be? would you like to have named after you? named after you 7 a leopard!

fanfare st patrick's day in dublin when the city turns into a street party but they will be hoping the celebrations here have onlyjust begun. because rugby could sooner mean more revelry — victory over england this afternoon and a grand slam will be ireland's to coast. cheers! how confident are you? very confident, cheers! how confident are you? - confident, extremely. england are rubbish, man. laughs. very confident, absolutely, ireland went up buying it is going to be a weekend to remember, we can to remember! i've had the best weekend of my life, i've had the best weekend of my life. please. _ i've had the best weekend of my life, please, god. _ life, please, god. and _ life, please, god. and who - life, please, god. and who can i life, please, god. i and who can blame life, please, god. - and who can blame their life, please, god. _ and who can blame their belief? island happen untouchable so far this six nations, four wins out of four and install. some £50,000 will be in the stadium to see whether ireland can make history. they have never clinched

of five group performances. i think we are at 2.5just now, so to get up to 11.5 we are at 2.5just now, so to get up to 4.5 would be good, so, you, looking for a strong performance to secure that third—place outright would be a positive, i think. but the focus will be on the aviva stadium, five years after the last grand slam once again the trophy is island's grand slam once again the trophy is islands for the taking. , ireland's for the taking. is a massive boost after they won 2—1 and put themselves a point eddie howe believes newcastle's late winner against nottingham forest is a massive boost after they won 2—1 and put themselves a point behind fourth—placed tottenham. newcastle would get their winner in injury time, after a penalty was awarded for a handball by forest defender moussa niakhate. striker alexander isak tucked home from 12 yards, his second of the day, denying forest the opportunity to move away from the relegation zone. i think whenever you come back it is

a hugely satisfying feeling and to score so late in the game is another boost, i think today was always going to be a difficult game but i thought we deserved it, our general play was good. manchester city are in fa cup quarterfinal action today, in one of the standout ties of the round. they welcome their former captain vincent kompany back, as the manager of their opponents — burnley. the winners will go on to the semi finals at wembley. kompany says it will be bizarre for him to go up against city, and his former boss pep guardiola spoke very highly of his former player. he was an exceptional captain, a top human being i think i am really pleased, so in the other side we have concerns, we want to start with playing a game in the touchline, when you have the player that you have you realise how old you are

becoming. obviously we still live in manchester, the family has always been blue — manchester, the family has always been blue and the kids obviously they have — been blue and the kids obviously they have been there celebrating titles— they have been there celebrating titles with me and it isn't bad to id titles with me and it isn't bad to go to— titles with me and it isn't bad to go to a — titles with me and it isn't bad to go to a football match with your kids. _ go to a football match with your kids. my— go to a football match with your kids, my kids enjoyed so they are going _ kids, my kids enjoyed so they are going to — kids, my kids enjoyed so they are going to support city. and i will be sitting _ going to support city. and i will be sitting in— going to support city. and i will be sitting in the way, i don't know, i don't _ sitting in the way, i don't know, i don't know— sitting in the way, i don't know, i don't know howl sitting in the way, i don't know, i don't know how i feel about it but they know — don't know how i feel about it but they know me and i think they expect me to _ they know me and i think they expect me to be _ they know me and i think they expect me to be competitive. they can be awkward accompany household later on. willie mullins said he was struggling to take in his success after galopin des champs gave him a third gold cup and 94th cheltenham festival victory. it's the third time in five years that trainer willie mullins and jockey paul townend have combined to win the famous race. for mullins, he finished the festival as top trainer with six victories. very special because a lot of people doubted his stamina and i kept on saying all year that this fellow

could go the distance so i didn't realise how much pressure i put myself under until he came to the 3—mile partand myself under until he came to the 3—mile part and the other two furlong primer, it was still running in third orfourth position, so when you cross the line the really was absolutely immense. warrington continued their perfect start to the super league season, beating leigh for a fifth straight win. whilst defending champions st helens returned to winning ways with a 2012 win against hull fc, jon bennison with two tries. they had lost their previous two matches. max verstappen was quickest in practice ahead of sunday's saudi arabian grand prix. he posted the fastest time in both sessions in his red bull. the reigning world champion, who won the first race of the season in bahrain, was two—tenths quicker than aston martin's fernando alonso in the second session. the best placed british driver was george russell, fifth fastest in his mercedes.

that'll late on but i think the big match of the day really is going to be ireland against england in the six nations. i don't think the ireland bands can be too complacent because i think after that drumming, pummelling, whatever it was, but it was, it was awful for england, whatever it was, but it was, it was awfulfor england, we have nothing to fear going at this time. they can just absolutely go for it. all of the training, but the new management, the training, coaching team, all of that, they can just put it together and go for it because there are no expectations. and they will expect a wounded animal. ,, , ., ,., , , and they will expect a wounded animal. , ., animal. spoiling the party is alone, isn't it? you _ animal. spoiling the party is alone, isn't it? you go _ animal. spoiling the party is alone, isn't it? you go there _ animal. spoiling the party is alone, isn't it? you go there and - animal. spoiling the party is alone, isn't it? you go there and spoil i animal. spoiling the party is alone, isn't it? you go there and spoil the | isn't it? you go there and spoil the party, but it is a big task. it is a big task for england because ireland _ it is a big task for england because ireland are — it is a big task for england because ireland are in such good form but, as you _ ireland are in such good form but, as you rightly say, they have nothing _ as you rightly say, they have nothing to lose and also they don't have the _ nothing to lose and also they don't have the embarrassment, either, do they? _ have the embarrassment, either, do they? there — have the embarrassment, either, do they? there is potential for another record _ they? there is potential for another record because that was against france — record because that was against france was england's heaviest ever defeat _ defeat. crosstalk. island are hoping to break the embarrassment, either, do they?

project. now we have the story of false accusations made by a girl who claimed to be the victim of a grooming gang, and how it sent shockwaves through a small town in the north of england. i haven't come across a case like this in 20 years of prosecuting. she said she'd been being abused and trafficked across the north of england for sex. everyone really believed her. death threats were made - against local restaurant owners. the town was a step away from anarchy, really. the keyboard warriors are out, the level of racism. i was trialled on social media. there was about six, eight police officersi at the bottom of my bed. it has been very difficult. very, very difficult. barrow is a peninsula in south cumbria, a long way away from most other places. it is isolated, but because of that, it's a really strong and tight community.

it did used to have a good name for itself with the shipbuilding, and then everything's disappearing in barrow. there's the bad areas, and there's good areas. it's a beautiful town. i've made amazing mates here. i've made an amazing life here. you will walk down the street, - and you will see someone you know. everyone knew each other, or if you didn't know each other, you'd have heard of them. so when a story like this breaks, everybody�*s notjust got an opinion on it, everybody knows someone involved in it as well. in the spring of 2020, a 19—year—old barrow girl called ellie williams published a harrowing facebook post that would send shockwaves through her community. "they put lit petrol rags and threatening letters through my letterbox. tried to drown me, strangled me.

they've abused me in every way possible. this has been years of me being trafficked to places across manchester, yorkshire, lancashire and cumbria. these are mostly pakistani men, and some are business—owners." i rememberfirst seeing everything on social media, the post that she put on and all the bruising, etc. and of course it's just heartbreaking. and when you see that, you want to get some kind ofjustice. a woman from barrow claimed on facebook that she was i the victim of grooming gangs. she said she'd been being abused and trafficked across the north of england for sex for years. we had some really serious allegations of grooming, human trafficking, which were getting taken extremely seriously by the force. it was like a bomb dropping. it really upset people. it really upset me when i first saw it, because, of course, you think how on earth is this going on and people haven't known about it? it felt like one of ours had been treated so badly

and let down by everybody. everyone was very supportive of her cause and her family's cause. there was a lot. yeah. a lot of people. i would've said most of them. every window you walked past, on every street, there was either an elephant logo or a justice for ellie logo. a lot of people gathered i in hollywood park, and then they would just drive - in round barrow as a convoy. there were lots of demonstrations and people voicing their opinions. rallies organised. you know, as a person walking out of your house and seeing that nobody actually knew the truth. don'tjudge what you say on facebook to be true. have an open mind. do not make assumptions. follow the evidence.

little did the public know that investigators already had reason to believe that ellie williams might be lying and that she'd been making allegations about multiple men since 2017. allegations going back to when she was 12 years old. people seem to think we knew more about the case than the investigators and the police. the keyboard warriors are out, people getting are accused who had nothing to do with the case whatsoever. fleeing their homes, hate crimes, the level of racism, it was just a disgusting state of affairs. the town was a step away from anarchy, really. shops got smashed up, - and everything, like, was bad. blaming a pakistani, muslim and asian, a grooming gang tojust fuel these lies. everyone really believed her. if we can't talk about it, something's going to fill the vacuum. itjust felt like a pressure—cooker building and building and building. and this is what the far—right

took advantage of. i'm nazir afzal, and i'm the former chief crown prosecutor. and i led nationally on tackling child sexual abuse and violence against women and girls, and particularly what we call street grooming or what you may call so—called grooming gangs because of the nature of the crime, the ethnicity of the perpetrators being disproportionately british, pakistani or british, asian and the far—right have decided to focus on it. they say they are there to support the victims or expose perpetrators. the reality is they're really interested in their own agenda. i found that in rochdale, where they were outside of court every day. and then at one point, in fact, they tried to destroy the case by damaging and attacking a defence team which came that close to the case being chopped down. we would never have been able to prosecute that case, and everything else that flowed from it wouldn't have happened. the vast majority of british—asians detest the perpetrators. they don't want anything to do with these people. they want them brought to justice. local indian restaurants

were targeted on social media. they soon found themselves facing vandalism and harassment. to protect their safety, we've interviewed them anonymously. the focus point was it was an asian grooming gang. there's not many asian people here. you're going to be targeted. people thought that you were part of a grooming ring, basically, a massive conspiracy. yes. did you feel safe here? i'll be honest, no. not at all. you had the window... window smashed twice, all caught on camera and then come in and smashing the windows with bricks. so, the police told you to take pictures of all these? all these? yeah. this isjust from one evening. one evening? yeah. it's like this in the shop. that's where i was. a lot of racist remarks as well, static and abusive phone calls saying that we're going to shoot everyone within the shop, rape my wife in front my children,

and then kill my kids. police came and basically said, "you need to close for your own safety." tried and guilty by social media. i would say definitely it does affect you. it does take its toll on you. before her facebook post, ellie williams had already accused multiple men of rape. one of those was 18—year—old jordan trengove. his life would change forever after a night out with ellie in 2019. at that time, i wanted to go and try for an apprenticeship in the yard, in the shipbuilding yard. yeah, i was just in the process of, like, getting everything for my application. i was planning my birthday and stuff like that with my mate. i was just living my life. live a life that a normal person should do. me and two friends went out, and we put on our snapchat story that we were out. ellie replied to it on the snapchat story saying, "can i come out with you?

i've got no one to go out with." and i wasjust being nice, like wanted a mate, a friend and stuff like that. we just said, yeah. she turned up, and from then it was we just carried on with our night out. little did we know it was all part of her wicked little plan. later that night, jordan says he and ellie separated after his friend got into a fight. he later went back to a local nightclub to find her. i was supposed to meet ellie back in town where she used to work. and when i got back, she was gone. and i said to them, the staff, where she worked, because i knew they were friends, i said, like, "do you know where ellie is?" and they said, "yeah, she's gone home. she's being sick." so i went out and continued my own night. and then obviously i went home with a completely different female. a week later, jordan was arrested on suspicion of rape. i was just asleep in my bed,

and ijust woke up and it was just about six, eight police officers at the bottom of my bed. and they were telling me that i was being arrested for rape and they're saying of my girlfriend. and i was like, i don't have a girlfriend. what are you going on about? "ellie williams." you know, no one wants to be arrested for rape. when i got to the police station and they started explaining what was going on, she was trying to say i raped her on this night out. how can someone actually do this to someone? the evidence is that i haven't done anything. i said to them, "there'll be cctv." you know, there's pictures on my phone. they were trying to listen to her. i was confused. i said to my mum, like, "if i go to prison, i'm not going to be coming out alive and coming out in a box." i go in there as a rapist, you know, it's not going to go down well. and if you go in on a sex offence in prison, you're bound to get some sort of damage put towards you.

the police went on to chargejordan with rape. he spent ten weeks in custody surrounded by convicted sex offenders. it was making me quite suicidal because i was just ripped away from my family for no reason at all. i was in a cell with an actual convicted paedophile. he told me he pleaded guilty to sending images to an eight—year—old kid. you do not want to be on that wing at all. this man is a local businessman, well known in barrow as mo rami, but he barely knew ellie williams. she, though, accused him of grooming and trafficking her. we had really serious allegations of human trafficking, grooming, which the public would expect us to be addressing in the strongest terms possible. i got arrested in 2019.

it was by the police on the promenade. i i actually laughed when they said human trafficking. _ itjust did... it wasjust like, "i'm dreaming." i'm not doing anything. i've got nothing to worry about. you're handcuffed. you feel the cold cuffs. and you're stood on the street- for ten minutes before you were put into a van or a car. yeah. and for people to see, - then it did become very real. and ijust thought, bizarre. well, we also had some accounts of ms williams having been trafficked to amsterdam and trafficked before in terms of amsterdam. initially, she said she'd been with her sister and sister's boyfriend, and she said that she felt like a gooseberry. and then she'd gone and met mr ramzan and worked in a brothel while she's in amsterdam. but how could somebody go to this degree of lying? i it's like it's ridiculous. it's all put together. and you've just thrown my name in the mix. i for what reason? it's absolutely crazy. it'sjust doesn't make sense.

they had the tag on me. i was on curfew from 7pm—7am. i feel disgusted that myi name is being tarnished with something like that. i'm an innocent man being persecuted. i i tried to end my life quite a few times because of it. in prison. not in prison? no. but when i come out of prison, i did. jordan was eventually released from prison after the police were able to prove that he wasn't with ellie. at the time, she claimed to have been raped. i've had "rapist" put my house, my windows smashed. but first, i didn't want to have a bond with my son, you know, because i didn't want him growing up with, you know, your dad's a rapist, this, that and the other. it wasn't how a normal 18—year—old should have lived the life, being accused of stuff like that. it's a pretty shocking time.

but, mr trengrove's undergone i mean, nobody can begin to imagine getting remanded in custody for something you haven't done to begin with, but then to be put on a sex offenders wing and everything that entails. certainly my heart goes out to him and everything that he's been through. obviously, the person responsible for that is eleanor williams. i've never had a written apology of the police or anything like that. so you want an apology from the police? i would like some sort of apology yeah, because at the end of the day, it's notjust ellie that ruined my life. it's them as well. it's been hell. it has been actually a living hell. i've been a popular person of many businesses in this town. _ i used to go on my normal walks. people won't look at me. people were just, like, i distancing themselves. we had our rental— properties smashed in town. we had our ice cream i van smashed, smashed. people would shout out to me, paedo. but i was tried on social media. i was guilty. i was guilty for 3.5 years.

and the amount of abuse is obvious. i can show you a message request. i've got over 500 difficult, difficult, sick children i going through there. a 15—year—old at the time was working on the van. i a grown lady walked over- to a 15—year—old lad filming him. calling him a paedophile and he's not. _ "i'm15" and she goes, "i don't care. - "you're all the same. "you're all paedophiles." after examining the evidence, police were able to establish that ellie's allegations against mo rami were false. mr ramzan assisted the investigation throughout and provided his banking records, and we were able to prove at the time that he was allegedly trafficking ms williams in amsterdam, he was actually buying things and being queued was there in barrow—in—furness. when we got evidence from a sister and the sister's boyfriend, you said that she hadn't been out of their sight during the time she was there with them. that then changed to the fact that she said she'd sneaked out

of a hotel room to go and work in a brothel. police found that ellie had created fake social media accounts and altered contacts on her phone to give the impression that she was being contacted and targeted online. ms williams had gone through an elaborate set of plans that she'd put in motion using fictitious people and live people by using snapchat, which automatically deleted by taking screenshots she was alleging from traffickers, by attributing names to people that it wasn't. it wasn't that person. mr ramzan was a prime example. the police discovered that ellie was even writing some of those messages to herself and covering her tracks. but some of them were so over the top, they raised suspicions.

well, some of the messages on that case were overwhelming and messages of a tone that i had never witnessed in my 20 years of prosecuting. we work closely with the police, and of course, they were thoroughly investigated. and it transpired that the provenance of those messages was not as we originally thought. cctv also proved a crucial part of the investigation. ms williams was saying about things that happened going back to when she was 12 years old. so i chose to focus on the most recent events reported, which was a trip to blackpool, where she reported that she'd been to for what she called sex parties, where she'd been abused and sold for money. she'd actually booked herself into a hotel. you can see ms williams booking into the hotel, and you can see her going off

into a room. and we found that she'd been out twice out of that room in the night. once to get some sweets at a shop. once to buy a pot of noodle. the rest of the time, it would appear she'd been in her room listening to podcasts. we found she hadn't been to any parties anywhere. by the time ellie's facebook post, which captivated the community and spread around the world, was posted, the police had already established that she was lying. they then turned their attention

to the story she posted online and the shocking images she posted with it. said she was found in a field after she'd been reported missing. she gave an account of being raped by a number of asian men at a house in barrow—in—furness. i sent a search team into the field where she'd been found and a hammer was recovered very close by to where she was found, which was found to be bloodstained. and later forensic testing showed that it was her dna and her blood etched on the hammer. we then started making inquiries about that type of hammer, and when we made inquiries at tesco in barrow, we found that ms williams was on cctv actually purchasing the identical hammer some days earlier prior to this incident. it transpired that she'd used the hammer to inflict the injuries in her photos on herself,

the photos that fooled so many. it became obvious that she was definitely telling lies. and that was at the point when i had to make a decision to arrest her and put these lies to her and get an account. safeguarding's been at the top of our agenda right from the very outset and right till the end. i felt that the only way that we were going to stop her committing further offences, harming herself further, was to get her charged and remanded in custody. i haven't come across a case like this in 20 years of prosecuting. i was the reviewing lawyer in this matter, and i authorised the police to charge ms williams with the counts that she faced. ellie was charged with perverting the course ofjustice. what it means is that you have done something that's jeopardised - somebody else's liberty _ because of the allegations that you made, which you knew to be untrue. that is a really heinous thing - to do, and that's why the state has to prosecute these cases.

what was it in this case that made you think that that bar had been exceeded? well, there were lies that were told, repeated lies. and the men the lies were told against had suffered immensely. the evidence was so overwhelming that we had no other option other than to prosecute. cumbrian police, i commend them i and i commended them at the time. they carried out a veryl thorough investigation. they didn't simply say, "i don't believe you." i let's prove or not. prove what you said. and they they found all the evidence that demonstrated to a jury - that she was lying. and that's a credit to them. in january 2023, eleanor williams was found guilty of perverting the course of justice. it wasjust a big relief, like, we've cleared ourselves, you know, a lot of smiles out there. quite a lot of smiles. we've done it.

it's been all exposed. now we've finally got our justice, and we've proved that we've done nothing wrong. the shop's only around the corner. i wouldn't walk there on my own, but now i feel like i could do that. this verdict has turned me into a completely different person already. i have a completely different outlook on life now. it's just mad how one day can change my life. eleanor williams, please stand up. in march 2023, eleanor williams was sentenced to 8.5 years in prison. the harm of this offending extends to an undermining of public confidence in the criminaljustice system. we are aware that sex trafficking of young females does occur. there is a risk that genuine victims will, as a result of this defendant's actions, feel deterred from reporting it.

ellie williams had written a letter to the judge. in it, she said she was sorry, saying, "i know i've done wrong over "some of this," but she doesn't admit she was guilty. i wasjust expecting a longer prison sentence for ellie. i and, you know, ithink the judge has been really fair in taking _ into account her age and abilities. and it's really difficult to accept that she is responsible - for all the things that she said. but in the eyes of the law, i've got to accept that. i and i should know there's an appeal i going in, so we'lljust have to waitl and see what happens from that. on a daily basis, ideal with genuine survivors of rape and serious sexual offences, and i would hate for this case to be a deterrent to genuine victims to come forward. we would never prosecute an individual who came forward, for example, where there were inconsistencies in the evidence or, for example, where genuine complainants of rape withdrew support.

so i would urge those people to come forward. there will be occasions, rare occasions like the one we have here, where somebody simply makes it all uu — but it has to be said, this is rare. now, when we did some research, when i was in the prosecution service ten years ago now, we found that only one in 300 cases of sexual offences were lies. we could prove, provable lies. it is very, very difficult for a victim to come i forward and to be believed. my name is sammy woodhouse, and i've been an activist - for about ten years now. i was groomed mentally, physically and sexually i as a 14—year—old child. and i had a child - from that exploitation. being groomed and raped, exploited, i abused, it's totally life—changing. i it's affected me in sol many different ways — education, friendships, -

relationships, mental health. it just feels for me like every i single day you have to wake up and have to fight for something i and not attack, it'sjust to be able |to get out of that bed and justi to be able to put on that smile and just to be able to function. when you come forward and you go through that process of, _ you know, the investigation, | the court case, it's daunting. it's something that i'll neverl forget for the rest of my life. on top of that, when you see a case i like this and to see a nationjust i completely switch on somebody, i think it's going to put off a lot i of people from coming forward. it's not very often that someone i will come forward and lie about it. of course, there are some rare i cases, but i think what's important is that we focus on the people that are telling the truth. _ i think ellie williams has definitely been i through something in her life. i think it needs to be looked

at again, but what's not oki is lying about other people. you can't go around making allegations like that up. i it can completely i ruin someone's life. she's destroyed and took so much light of my life away from me, and i'll never, everforget what she did. and i'll neverforgive her. i want to know why. i would love to know why me. it has been very difficult. very, very difficult. i do hope nobody goes through this. has it changed you as a person? yes, it has. you're not the people that love you, your family, your brothers, your sisters, your husband, your wife. i'm scared of people now. i've lost trust in humanity in a sense, to be honest with you, having to go through through this. and i'm sure it's not going to stay like this because now everything's coming out and now you can start... i'm getting my life back now.

helena wilkinson reports. it is a war that he ordered. a war that brought death and devastation. a war that sent millions fleeing for their lives. but it's one that has now left president putin accused of war crimes by an international court, and even more isolated on the world stage. the judges have reviewed the information and evidence submitted by the prosecutor, and determined that there are credible allegations against these persons for the alleged crimes. the international criminal court, based in the hague, alleges the russian leader and another official are individually responsible for the war crime of unlawfully deporting children from ukraine to russia. this was the reaction from president biden

to the icc�*s move. i think itjustifies it, but the question is it's not recognised internationally by us either, but i think it clearly makes a very strong point. he has clearly committed a war crime. in the chaos that followed the invasion, millions of people were displaced, and there have been reports of thousands of children being sent to so—called re—education camps in russia — alleged crimes for which ukraine's president has repeatedly demanded justice. translation: this is an historic decision from which historical i responsibility will begin. the head of the terrorist state and another russian official have become suspects in a war crime. a kremlin spokesman said the allegations were 'outrageous' and 'unacceptable'. the foreign ministry said the arrest warrant meant nothing legally. translation: russia is not a party to the rome statute| of the international criminal court

and bears no obligations under it. the man investigating the allegations against mr putin denied the warrants were symbolic. there are reasonable grounds to believe that crimes within our court's jurisdiction have been committed, so those that feel that you can commit a crime in the daytime and sleep well at night should perhaps look at history. vladimir putin may never be arrested or appear in court, but it's not everyday that a serving head of is accused of war crimes, and it's a signal from the international community that they will seek justice for what has been happening in ukraine. helena wilkinson, bbc news. more than 1400 security guards at heathrow airport are planning to strike over easter in their pay dispute. the unite union says workers at terminal 5 will strike for ten

days from march 31st until easter sunday. the airport says it has contingency plans in place to stay open and says it has already offered a 10 percent pay rise. junior doctors' leaders have become the latest union to agree to enter pay talks with the government. the british medical association has said it won't announce new strike action while negotiations are taking place. the government is also holding "intensive" talks with teachers' unions to try to end a dispute over pay in england. our political correspondent tony bonsignore has more. tony it feels like progress is being made in some areas? good morning, certainly feels like the mood is changing slightly, hopes are rising certainly in this particular area of health workers, progress may be being made, especially after the strikes this week, those three—day strikes by junior doctors, 175,000

cancellations it is estimated there were, and the nhs leaders say it will have more impact than all the other strikes put together, this winter so we have had statements, the government saying we want to find a fair settlement which recognises the crucial role of junior doctors and the wider economic pressures facing the uk, junior doctors talking about a window of opportunity as they say to achieve full pay restoration, still big questions though, there is a big gap between the side, the union of course still have to recommend these offers, they have to be accepted by members, doctors for example say they are ready to return to the picket lines if they don't get what they want or they get a substandard offer they say, and then this question of whether money comes from, is it new money? does it come from, is it new money? does it come from existing budgets? does it protect front—line services, efficiency, savings is the government has suggested, none of thatis government has suggested, none of that is clear and at the point that labour have making repeatedly in

recent days and then of course all the other strikes you mentioned, passport offices, university lecturers, they might feel a bit emboldened given what they are seeing going on withjunior doctors and other health workers. seeing going on with junior doctors and other health workers.- and other health workers. tony, thank you _ and other health workers. tony, thank you very _ and other health workers. tony, thank you very much. _ rail services will be disrupted again today, as members of the rmt union at 14 train operators take part in strikes. it's the second walk out this week in the long—running dispute about pay, job security and working conditions. passengers are being advised to check before they travel. protesters have clashed with police once again in central the home secretary is visiting rwanda as part of a plan to stop people crossing the channel. the deal was made last april, but has faced several legal challenges and nobody has been sent under the scheme yet.

protesters have clashed with police once again in central paris over the french government's pension reforms. thousands of demonstrators lit fires and some threw firecrackers at police, who used tear gas to disperse them. it's the second night of unrest since president macron decided to push through the controversial reforms to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote. reports in american media say the us government is investigating the chinese parent company of the social media app tiktok, for possible spying. an investigation was launched late last year, after data from tiktok users in the usa were inappropriately obtained. here's our north america correspondent david willis. it appears this investigation was launched sometime last year and then ramped up a couple of months ago after bytedance, the company, the chinese company that owns tiktok, confirmed reports here in the american media that some chinese

staff had been using the app to spy on american journalists, and staff had been using the app to spy on americanjournalists, and in particular to get information about their sources of stories that had appeared about tiktok in the american media. bytedance said in response to today's reports that it is strongly condemning the actions of those staff who have been subsequently dismissed but it's only a couple of months since the app was banned from government phones here, and in an attempt to head off further restrictions, bytedance has suggested that maybe the company should keep all user data on servers located here in the united states. the biden administration has come under criticism from the opposition republicans were not doing enough to

ensure national security through apps such as this. earlier this week the biden administration announced it was going to demand that bytedance either sell off tiktok or face a nationwide ban here in the united states. the actor sam neill has revealed he's been diagnosed with what he calls a ferocious cancer. the peaky blinders star says he fell ill while publicising the latest jurassic world film last march. he's had treatment for non—hodgkin lymphoma, including chemotherapy, but says he's now in remission and feels positive about the future. the american actor lance reddick, who starred in the hit tv series the wire, has died. when the cuffs go on stringer, you need to find a new home. you're done in this unit.

the 60—year—old — who played police boss cedric daniels in the us drama — died suddenly of natural causes at his home in los angeles, yesterday, according to his publicist. he also appeared alongside keanu reeves in thejohn wick films, the latest of which is due for release in the uk next week. it is ten minutes past seven,. comic relief bosses have praised the generosity of the british public after this year's red nose day raised more than 30 million. most of the money, which will help uk charities and some of the world's poorest people, was donated during a three hour program of spoofs, songs and sketches on bbc one last night. graham satchell was watching. comic relief started with the regeneration. sir lenny henry, who has been part of the show from the start, transforming into the former doctor, david tennant, one of this year's hosts. hello salford! much of the show felt like an alternative universe.

i don't mean to be rude but can you sing? how dare you. i have the voice of an angel. graham norton heading a spoof judging panel to find the next eurovision star, including a dalek... let me sing! i think we have a winner here. ..bono... # wedding bells, wishing wells, early morning dew. ..bucks fizz... # making your mind up. # awful recorder playing. gordon ramsay, and miranda hart. # and then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on. next. hello children. next, baldric reading a bedtime story. he had a coming revelation. one day, he stuck a half—eaten tomato on his nose and did a little dance which made people laugh. who knew it was the blackadder star

who started red nose day? question — can newsreaders be funny? are you going to go first? yeah. what type of sandals do frogs wear? open toad. why can't t—rexes is clap their hands? because they're extinct. why are hairdressers never late for work? they know all the shortcuts. did you hear about the italian chef who died? he pasta way. i was wondering why the frisbee kept looking bigger and bigger... ..and then it hit me. comic relief raises money for good causes in the uk and around the world. this year, the work of a homeless charity called groundswell was highlighted by prince william. my mother introduced me to the cause of homelessness from quite a young age, and i'm really glad she exposed me to that,

that part of life, but i think she'd be disappointed that we're still no further along the road in terms of tackling homelessness and preventing than probably when she was interested and involved in it. by ten o'clock last night, this year's total stood atjust under £32 million, and it is likely to keep rising in the coming days. graham satchell, bbc news. it's all about raising money. and the total did indeed go up after the main program finished last night. the total now is £34,114,687. we're going to speak with richard the founder comic relief later.

here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. she has her arms crossed in a businesslike manner. yes! look at the sunrise! good morning. a beautiful sunrise in norfolk but you can see quite a lot of cloud and that is the story for many this morning. also poor visibility, a little bit misty and murky across parts of edinburgh with fog as well and aberdeen. poor visibility across north—west england but for the bulk of the country it is cloudy, grey and there will be showers today. it is courtesy of the low pressure drifting towards northern ireland, lots of frontal systems scattered around below, a messy story, the story of the showers of the past few hours. some running through southern scotland, one clear when the western isles and a batch of showers moving to the south coast as well. sunny spells and scattered showers for the bulk

of the country but with light winds some showers could be quite slow—moving, even with the odd rumble of thunder mixed in. if you managed to dodge the showers not everyone will see them and get sunshine. we could see highs of around 15 degrees. those perhaps in sheltered eastern england. into northern ireland and scotland through the day the organised rain or drift further east, heavy rain heading to the northern isles. the northern isles here always in the cooler air so as the rain continues to drift eastwards overnight there could be a wintry mix in there. a line of cloud clearing from central and south—east england allowing skies to clear and temperatures to fall away so it will be a chilean start to sunday. but they should be well sunshine coming. the second half of the weekend is more promising in terms of showers free and wide. enjoyed if you can because

and wide. enjoyed if you can because a change of fortunes as we move into monday. sunday will be fine, lots of sunshine coming through, gradually we will see cloud developing from the west and the weather frontal push into northern ireland by the end of the afternoon. for most it is a usable day, pleasant enough, between eight and 13 degrees. once the front arrives it will open the floodgates for the low pressure to move in from the atlantic. one system moves through, another gathers waiting on the winds. the isobars squeezing together, so the winds will be a feature. wet and would be for the week ahead. temperatures around where they should be for this time of year. the possibility of the north as we head towards next weekend, it could get a bit colder again. thank you, see you later. plans to ban imports of animal hunting trophies to britain are set to become law. yesterday, the government backed legislation which would stop hunters bringing back parts

of animals killed abroad. around the world, trophy hunters shoot approximately 170,000 animals a year, that's one every three minutes. british hunters have brought home 5,000 trophies of endangered and legally protected animals since the 1980s. the most popular african animals shot by british hunters are elephants, hippos, leopards, zebras and lions. since 2010, more than a tonne of elephant ivory has been brought back to britain by hunters. the hunting trophies bill will face further scrutiny in the house of lords. we can speak now to eduardo goncalves who has campaigned for the ban. good morning, what will change as a result of the vote yesterday? this was a bill passed unanimously

by all mp5, so every single party got behind this and i think that is wonderful because trophy hunting isn'tjust barbaric wonderful because trophy hunting isn't just barbaric and wonderful because trophy hunting isn'tjust barbaric and archaic, and i think a lot of your viewers will be shocked by some of those statistics, frankly, but it is also really, really cool. we remember the case of cecil the line in 2015 and how he was actually left to drown in his own lung blood because the hunter wanted a special prize that you get for shooting big animals with bows and arrows. the american researchers have found that the majority of animal shot by trophy hunters to die very slow and painful deaths, so they don't die instantly, so i think this is a huge step forward. yes, we still have to go to the boards but hopefully we will soon have to stand, the strongest of its kind in the world. but to be clear, what this means is if goes from the uk, trophy hunting

and an african country, the only thing there's changes — correct me if i am wrong — is that they can't bring the trophy back. that if i am wrong - is that they can't bring the trophy back.— bring the trophy back. that is exactly right- _ bring the trophy back. that is exactly right. the _ bring the trophy back. that is exactly right. the actual- bring the trophy back. that is i exactly right. the actual trophy huntina exactly right. the actual trophy hunting itself _ exactly right. the actual trophy hunting itself is _ exactly right. the actual trophy hunting itself is unaffected i exactly right. the actual trophy hunting itself is unaffected by i hunting itself is unaffected by this, they can still and go and do the thing which you describe, which a lot of people don't accept is something that should be happening anyway, but they can still happen? it can because we can only control what british people do, so if you like this is a customs law, they can't bring both heads or bodies or feet of elephants, polar bears, cheaters and runners, all those other animals that they should but what we are hoping is that this will dissuade people from doing this because at the end of the day they reason they do it was because they want their head or the foot or whatever it is to brag about, that is the symbol of their hunt, but they have those powers and all these ridiculous things. it is such an important part of it to have

something to show for it, so if they are not allowed to bring them back into britain we are hoping this will discourage them from doing it in the first place. is there any means — are you looking at means by which you could make it in any way illegal for someone to travel to a place in order to trophy hunt? how can you affect that part of the equation? if you look at this as a supply and demand issue on the one hand we want to tackle the demand, so people from countries like britain or america, germany, whatever who want to go out until these animals of the first place but then the supply issue. the problem is we already have laws that do stop the trade of endangered wildlife, but there is a big loophole, so the convention on international trade on endangered species as you can't go and shoot a runner and bring the horn back in order to sell, but you can shoot the very same rhino attack the horn home if you say that you are a trophy

hunter. while — blood lab trafficking syndicate abdomens, they have literally put peasants and prostitutes on planes and told them to pretend to be trophy hunters, so this is a massive loophole that needs to be close. i want to see a man to trophy hunting. we have seen them and do things like bearbaiting and dogfighting because they are immoral, crueland and dogfighting because they are immoral, cruel and wrong. and dogfighting because they are immoral, crueland wrong. david attenborough has called trophy hunting incomprehensible, ithink most people would agree with that and it is time to consign it to the dusty pages of a history book. but is it a reality that there will be some trophy hunting deriving income for some communities that are affected? because they pay and the money will presumably go to people who work in those places. how do you replace that if you get rid of trophy hunting all tucabia? the simple, basics, a company. i have had a lot of messages from

jubilant african saying thank goodness. what are people don't realise is that a lot of the vast majority of africans oppose trophy hunting. a poll found seven out of ten wanted to end and so you can imagine why. if you can imagine a lot of africans arriving in this country in hampshire or something, armed to the teeth and started shooting the animals they would be a petition or two about that. what we know that is countries who have stopped trophy hunting are moved instead to photo safaris have benefited in terms of income from conservation but also for local people. take the example of kenya. as a result of switching entirely to photo safaris there is a lot more money now going into conservation andindeed money now going into conservation and indeed to local communities that was ever possible when they were doing trophy hunting. compared to tanzania next door, and similar country, 26% of tanzania at the moment is actually at least two trophy hunting estates, so cannot

invest 70 times more money into conservation per hectare than it tanzania is and of course the people benefit as well because more money goes to education for example. all of the children of the masai tribe can now access a high school education entirely as a result of the photo safari industry and that has been replicated elsewhere, but example. one more question, have you made trophy hunters yourself? have you talked to them? how successful have people in and getting them to change their ways? as you established earlier, whatever the changes in the house of commons, it doesn't stop people from going and doing the thing that they are doing. have you met them? have you tried to persuade people not to do what they do? i haven't tried to persuade but i have certainly spoken to them and they also spoke to a repentant trophy hunt a few months ago, an interesting experience. he along with a lot of trophy hunters were

saying that this was like an addiction. there is a leading british trophy hunter who has described shooting elephants as like mainlining on heroin. a lot of the trophy hunters i have spoken to have spoken about it as a addiction. grimaced and psychologists are saying that they need to find something to replace the addiction, find them something that will give them the adrenaline that doesn't involve the killing of an animal. there are certainly people who have given up trophy hunting and we want to encourage that. thank you very much for your time, eduardo goncalves, co—founder of the campaign toobanna trophy hunting. the former england and leicester tigers rugby player tom youngs is a man with an amazing friend who has taken on an incredible challenge this weekend,all in memory of tom's wife who died last year. will findlay is running 250 kilometres in 50 hours around leicester — that's about 155 miles. he started yesterday morning and is hoping to raise thousands of pounds for a blood cancer charity, which is the disease tom's

wife tiffany died from. our reporter abi smitton is in leicesterfor us this morning. how is will getting on? good morning, this is the place where if you are going to take on a challenge like that you would need a good foot drop as you can see is happening behind you. —— foot rub. yes, this is the hub of operations, well is currently having some much—needed physio. how are you feeling? some much-needed physio. how are you feeling?- some much-needed physio. how are you feeling? good, thank ou, how are you feeling? good, thank you. tough — how are you feeling? good, thank you. tough night— how are you feeling? good, thank you, tough night but _ how are you feeling? good, thank you, tough night but nice - how are you feeling? good, thank you, tough night but nice to i how are you feeling? good, thank you, tough night but nice to see i how are you feeling? good, thank i you, tough night but nice to see the sunrise _ you, tough night but nice to see the sunrise this — you, tough night but nice to see the sunrise this morning. just getting ready— sunrise this morning. just getting ready to — sunrise this morning. just getting ready to go out again for number 22. you are _ ready to go out again for number 22. you are running through the night, what was the toughest part? at about 130, 2am, it was quiet, not many— at about 130, 2am, it was quiet, not many people — at about 130, 2am, it was quiet, not many people around. but _ many people around. but the team has been brilliant and we got _ but the team has been brilliant and we got through. you _ we got through. you are in good spirits? we got through. you are in aood sirits? , , you are in good spirits? definitely, eatin: as you are in good spirits? definitely, eating as much _ you are in good spirits? definitely, eating as much as _ you are in good spirits? definitely, eating as much as i _ you are in good spirits? definitely, eating as much as i can, _ you are in good spirits? definitely, eating as much as i can, getting asi eating as much as i can, getting as much _ eating as much as i can, getting as much into— eating as much as i can, getting as much into the body that we need. the

chasing. ireland are the heavy favourites but don't forget, france could still snatch the trophy. they can put pressure on the irish if they get a bonus—point victory against wales. that's only if they were to win by more than 20 with a bonus point. ireland would need at least a draw, or two bonus points against england. wales are fifth in the table with only one win, and their head coach says this is the end of an era. it's up to eight players in the end who are potentially public playing their last six nations game, and we have got to think about building for the world cup this year but also thinking about 2027, and you need to bring in some players and you need to have younger players in the squad and give them time to develop. there's no title on the line for scotland against italy, but it's not a dead rubber. if they win it with a bonus point then they will all but guarantee themselves third place for only

the second time in a decade. eddie howe believes newcastle's late winner against nottingham forest is a massive boost after they won 2—1 and put themselves a point behind fourth—placed totte n ha m. newcastle got their winner in injury time, after a penalty was given for a handball by forest defender moussa nia—khate. striker alexander isak slotted home from 12 yards, his second of the day, denying forest the opportunity to move away from the relegation zone. manchester city are in fa cup quarter final action today, in one of the standout ties of the round. they welcome their former captain vincent kompany back, as the manager of their opponents burnley. the winners wil go on to the semi finals at wembley. kompany says it'll be bizarre for him to go up against city obviously we are still living manchester, the family has always been good, and the kids obviously, there have been there celebrating titles with me and it's not a bad

thing to go to a football match with your kids, my kids enjoyed, so they are going to support city, and this will be strange because they will be sitting in the away, and i don't know how i feel about it, but they know how i feel about it, but they know me, and i think they expect me to be competitive. the club getting most attention will be league 2 grimsby town, by far the lowest ranked team left in the competition. because of that, we have some of these in a studio. their mascot here, there have been waving them around throughout the tournament, they are the lowest team ranked in they are the lowest team ranked in the competition and they are away at premier league brighton tomorrow. what are you supposed to do with the fish? brute what are you supposed to do with the fish? . ., ., what are you supposed to do with the fish? ., ., , , ., ., fish? we are not supposed to do that... fish? we are not supposed to do that- -- you _ fish? we are not supposed to do that... you are _ fish? we are not supposed to do that... you are not _ fish? we are not supposed to do that... you are not supposed i fish? we are not supposed to do that... you are not supposed to | fish? we are not supposed to do i that... you are not supposed to hit --eole in that... you are not supposed to hit people in the _ that... you are not supposed to hit people in the face _ that... you are not supposed to hit people in the face with _ that... you are not supposed to hit people in the face with the - that... you are not supposed to hit people in the face with the fish... i people in the face with the fish... once upon a time it was quite a

welcome inside. songs about life in nottingham performed by local sinkers who have been homeless. caroline and simon both spent time living on the streets. now they are centre stage. i feel like a star, i love entertaining, making people laugh. it is a chemical ofjoy was to get excited when i started singing and performing and doing things, you know, when you see the orchestra it is just so wonderful what they do. it is a production called streetwise 0pera, around 100 sinkers from homelessness projects from here in nottingham, london and manchester. they are working with the bbc concert orchestra and a professional, classical choir. but they aren't just professional, classical choir. but they aren'tjust singing professional, classical choir. but they aren't just singing opera, professional, classical choir. but they aren'tjust singing opera, they are writing it as well, this is all about the luddites who fought against machines replacing their factoryjobs in nottingham.

is going to be showers. it will be one of those spring days of sunny spells and scattered showers. low pressure sitting out towards the west and wrapping around below is as the weather fronts that will enhance the weather fronts that will enhance the showers as we go through the day. we have longer spells of rain moving through southern scotland, one drifting from the northern isles and another pushing in to the far south—east. so much between the two will be showers and with the wind is much lighter than recent days the showers could be slow—moving. maybe even with the odd rumble of thunder mixed in as well. by the middle of the afternoon it is a lottery out there. you will have to chance it from time to time, dodge the showers. if you get the sunshine you should see a high of 15 degrees. rain moving out of northern ireland pushing through the spine of colon through the middle of the afternoon and heavy rain gradually moving towards northern isles. the northern

isles always stays in the colder air, only around five or six degrees today so as the rain pushes through overnight tonight and the winds strength member could be a wintry mix here. cloudy easy way from the south—east and with a clear skies the temperatures are likely to fall away lower than the last couple of months, so a chillier mode, julia stuck to sunday, hopefully a practice start and we should see plenty of sunshine tomorrow. but, it won't last. weather fronts. depression from the atlantic as we go through the latter stages of the day. a promising start to sunday, lots of sunshine, gradually clouding overfrom lots of sunshine, gradually clouding over from the west but it will take time. eventually we will see rain in the second half of the afternoon. not a bad mothering sunday in terms of the weather. temperature is likely between eight and 13 degrees, five or six into the northern isles. all change for the start of the new working week is one moves through to

be replaced by another. isobars on the chart which means the wind will strengthen. it will drive through the rain at a pace but it is looking unsettled. showers or longer spells of rain as we go through the week ahead. temperatures pretty much where they should be for the time of year. let's take a look now at this week's newswatch. hello, and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. why were some bbcjournalists this week not just reporting on industrial action, but on strikes themselves? and a row over comments made by a bbc presenter. sound familiar? whenever there's a big speech or debate due in the house of commons, it's become the practice of the bbc and other media organisations to set up shop opposite parliament and broadcast live from the patch of grass known as college green.

when that happened for the budget on wednesday, not for the first time, it was a case of camera, lights, action and background music. one of the measures that we're expecting him to go ahead with, which is raising corporation tax, the tax on companies' profits, from 19% to 25%, although we're expecting that he might offset that with some other investment allowances to help business. abba plays helen, we'll talk again later. to the strains of abba, hopefully not then. thank you very much. once the strains of money, money, money had died away, shaun ley had some more music to contend with. this time, a tune with a rather painful relevance for the bbc at the moment. but actually it's worth more, i if corporation tax is a bit higher, and this is the point i think- that the government's going to try and make when it i talks about success. comedic music the government might try and do something quite radical on this. there's certainly been

pressure to say actually, right, write these extra costs off in the year the investment is made. not easy discussing the finer points of corporation tax while the match of the day theme tune is blaring out behind you, and alison beaumont considered it very much not worth the effort: . the budget was preceded as usual by days of previews, leaks and educated guesses as to what might be in it, including on tuesday's news at ten. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, is expected to announce measures to encourage more people, including younger parents, back to work. in england, the current 30 hours of free child care for three— and four—year—olds will be extended it's thought to one— and two—year—olds in what's been called the centrepiece of the budget. for ted, it was all too much, too soon. he wrote:

if the budget is one staple of the news calendar, so, too, the oscars. at this year's ceremony on sunday night, there was no such drama as last year's infamous slap by will smith. but the awards still received plenty of attention across bbc news, including on monday's news at one. now, the sci—fi epic everything everywhere all at once was the big winner at the oscars in los angeles with seven awards, including best director and best picture. again, the charge of 'not news' was levelled byjohn stokes, who asked:

many people will have been affected this week by industrial action, with hundreds of thousands of workers going on strike, including teachers, nurses, junior doctors, civil servants and rail workers. wednesday saw the most disruption. but if you wanted to hear about the effect this was having in your area by listening to bbc local radio or watching bbc regional news bulletins on tv, you might have struggled. the reason? some of the staff on those services were also on a 24—hour strike over the corporation's plans to cut local radio budgets, increase the sharing of programmes across different stations and move more resources to online content. as a result, many radio stations broadcast reduced, prerecorded or syndicated programming. and those switching on bbc one in almost all of the english regions at 6:30pm on wednesday, expecting a local news bulletin, instead saw this.

now on bbc one, a change to the schedule. we're unable to show your regional news due to industrial action. instead, garden rescue. the garden rescue team are on a mission. look at that! some viewers didn't hear that announcement, and so were confused about the absence of regional news bulletins. others were more concerned about the absence, apart from a mention on the website of bbc coverage of the strike action by its own staff. someone tweeting as 'mr apple' asked: and joan phillips wondered:

although we have discussed before on this programme the changes the bbc is making, we asked again for someone to interview on this subject and on the strike action. we were told no—one was available and given this statement:

do let us know your thoughts on anything we're covering on this programme or on any aspect of bbc news. details of how to contact us at the end of the programme. now for some of your other comments this week. 1.5 weeks on from 'that�* tweet about the government's refugee policy posted by gary lineker, the shockwaves are still being felt around broadcasting house. and while the rights or wrongs of a sports presenter�*s social media activity don't fall into the territory of a programme called newswatch, the priority given to discussing it on news outlets certainly does. again, this week, we had complaints after bbc one's evening bulletins led on the story last friday, saturday and sunday, and the news at one did so on monday. good evening. gary lineker has been pulled by the bbc from presenting match of the day following his tweets criticising the government's latest immigration policy. good afternoon.

the bbc has apologised to viewers after severe disruption to its sports programming. it follows the corporation's decision to force gary lineker to step back from presenting match of the day. the bbc's sports programming is hit again in the fallout over— gary lineker and impartiality. can't say anything at the moment, sorry. no comment from the presenter today as the government says the bbc's i credibility is on the line. today at one, gary lineker back on air as the bbc resolves its dispute with him over what he says on social media. all of that prompted jacquie douglas to e—mail on saturday: that was echoed on monday by colin boon:

and john silcock added: there was another storm about comments made by another bbc presenter too, the comments fiona bruce made on last week's question time about boris johnson's father. he was a wife—beater, stanleyjohnson, on record. 0k, let me just...let me just intervene. i'm not disputing what you're saying, but just so everyone knows what this is referring to... so stanleyjohnson's wife spoke to a journalist, tom bower, and she said that stanleyjohnson had broken her nose and she had ended up in hospital as a result. stanleyjohnson has not commented publicly on that. friends of his have said it did happen. it was a one—off. yes, but it did happen. anyway...

that reference to the incident being described as a 'one—off�* infuriated merlin reader: and samantha bush asked: the following day, the bbc issued a statement backing fiona bruce. it read:

on monday, fiona bruce said she would step back from her role as an ambassador for the domestic violence charity refuge, saying that her words had been mischaracterised in a social media storm. and there was some sympathy for her, including from deborah mckenzie, who wrote: thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news on tv, radio, online and social media, e—mail newswatch@bbc.co.uk or you can find us on twitter, @newswatchbbc. you can call us on 3700106676, and do have a look at our website, bbc.co.uk/newswatch. that's all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye.

favourites to take the grand slam. good morning. this weekend is shaping up to a tale of two halves. today, it is a case of sunny spells and scattered, sharp showers but mild for all. tomorrow will be a little bit quieter, just that little bit cooler. all the details coming up shortly. it's saturday march 18th. our top story. president biden has said vladimir putin has "clearly committed war crimes" after the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for the russian president. the icc alleges he is responsible for criminal acts, and failing to use his presidential powers to stop children being deported from ukraine to russia. our correspondent helena wilkinson reports. it is a war that he ordered. a war that brought death and devastation. a war that sent millions fleeing for their lives. but it's one that has now left president putin accused of war

crimes by an international court, and even more isolated on the world stage. the judges have reviewed the information and evidence submitted by the prosecutor, and determined that there are credible allegations against these persons for the alleged crimes. the international criminal court, based in the hague, alleges the russian leader and another official are individually responsible for the war crime of unlawfully deporting children from ukraine to russia. this was the reaction from president biden to the icc�*s move. i think itjustifies it, but the question is it's not recognised internationally by us either, but i think it clearly makes a very strong point. he has clearly committed a war crime. in the chaos that followed the invasion, millions of people were displaced, and there have been reports of thousands of children

being sent to so—called re—education camps in russia — alleged crimes for which ukraine's president has repeatedly demanded justice. translation: this is an historic decision from which historical i responsibility will begin. the head of the terrorist state and another russian official have become suspects in a war crime. a kremlin spokesman said the allegations were 'outrageous' and 'unacceptable'. the foreign ministry said the arrest warrant meant nothing legally. translation: russia is not a party to the rome statute| of the international criminal court and bears no obligations under it. the man investigating the allegations against mr putin denied the warrants were symbolic. there are reasonable grounds to believe that crimes - within our court's jurisdiction have been committed, - so those that feel that you canj commit a crime in the daytime and sleep well at night should

perhaps look at history. - vladimir putin may never be arrested or appear in court, but it's not everyday that a serving head of is accused of war crimes, and it's a signal from the international community that they will seek justice for what has been happening in ukraine. helena wilkinson, bbc news. more than 1,400 security guards at heathrow airport are planning to strike over easter in their pay dispute. the unite union says workers at terminal five will strike for ten days from march 31st until easter sunday. the airport says it has contingency plans in place to stay open and says it has already offered a 10% pay rise. rail services will be disrupted again today, as members of the rmt union at 14 train operators take part in strikes. it's the second walkout this week in the long—running dispute about pay, job security and working conditions. passengers are being advised

to check before they travel. junior doctors' leaders have become the latest union to agree to enter pay talks with the government. the british medical association has said it won't announce new strike action while negotiations are taking place. the government is also holding "intensive" talks with teachers' unions to try to end a dispute over pay in england. our political correspondent tony bonsignore has more. tony, it feels like progress is being made in some areas? still many where action needs to be taken. ,., ., still many where action needs to be taken. ., , ., ., taken. good morning. in this area in articular, taken. good morning. in this area in particular. in — taken. good morning. in this area in particular, in the _ taken. good morning. in this area in particular, in the area _ taken. good morning. in this area in particular, in the area of _ taken. good morning. in this area in particular, in the area of health i particular, in the area of health unions and workers, there does seem to be progress. we had that offer earlier this week with some health workers, and nowjunior doctors workers, and now junior doctors postponing workers, and nowjunior doctors postponing their industrial action while talks take place. definitely the mood has changed and the

language has changed as well, so the common saying we want to find a fair settlement which recognises the crucial role ofjunior doctors on the wider economic pressures —— government saying. junior doctors talking about a window of opportunity. i think this is been driven to an extent by the major disruption caused by the 72 hour strike this week. there are still obstacles to a deal, as the gap between the sides, they need to come to an agreement on the agreement needs to be put to members and accepted. doctors making it very clear that they are prepared to return to the picket line if they get if what they are given a sub offer. there are difficult questions about whether money would come from the deal, we could be new come from existing budgets or existences savings? it's not entirely clear now remains an open question from that for billion pound that was announced earlier week. the deputy prime

minister dominic raab saying that front line services will not be affected, there will be more details onceit affected, there will be more details once it is all settled, but i suspect unions might want a little more reassurance than that. tony, for the moment, thank you very much. the home secretary suella braverman is visiting rwanda as part of her plan to stop people crossing the channel on small boats to claim asylum in the uk. she'll meet president kagame, and other officials, to discuss the agreement to send asylum seekers to rwanda. the deal was made last april but has faced several legal challenges — and nobody has been sent under the scheme yet. protesters have clashed with police once again in central paris over the french government's pension reforms. thousands of demonstrators lit fires and some threw firecrackers at police, who used tear gas to disperse them. it's the second night of unrest since president macron decided to push through the controversial reforms to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote.

the american actor lance reddick — who starred in the hit tv series the wire — has died. when the catholics go on —— cuffs go on, you need to find a new home. the 60—year—old — who played police boss cedric daniels in the us drama — died suddenly of natural causes at his home in los angeles yesterday, according to his publicist. he also appeared alongside keanu reeves in thejohn wick films — the latest of which is due for release in the uk next week. the actor sam neill has revealed he's been diagnosed with what he calls a "ferocious" cancer. the pea ky blinders star says he fell ill while publicising the latest jurassic world film last march. he's had treatment for non—hodgkin lymphoma — including chemotherapy — but says he's now in remission and feels positive about the future.

shortly we will be talking to radio 4 and moneybox, we are going day about a scam. a man who was 78, contacted when he was most vulnerable and he had been the main carerfor his wife vulnerable and he had been the main carer for his wife and he was contacted, got involved in this scam and least, of nearly £150,000 and went into a battle with his bank. moneybox has been able to recover that money, we will speak about that shortly. you may have seen some of comic relief last night, do we know what the total is? £34 million. it had risen overnight and richard curtis, the founder, will be joining risen overnight and richard curtis, the founder, will bejoining us in a few minutes' time. he has agreed to get up early. they stay up quite late, naturally, enjoy the moment, have a drink afterwards. he has

kindly agreed to talk with us, i think he will be here in ten minutes or so. us media is reporting that president biden's government is investigating the chinese parent company of the social media app, tiktok, for possible spying. an investigation was launched late last year, after data from tiktok users in the united states were inappropriately obtained. here's our north america correspondent david willis. it appears that this investigation was launched sometime last year and then ramped up a couple of months ago after bytedance, the company, the chinese company that owns tiktok, confirmed reports here in the american media that some chinese staff had been using the app to spy on american journalists, in particular to get information about their sources of stories that had appeared about tiktok in the american media. now, bytedance said in response to today's reports that it is strongly condemning

the actions of those staff, who, it says, had subsequently been dismissed. but it's only a couple of months, of course, since tiktok, the app, was banned from government phones here and in an attempt to basically head off further restrictions, bytedance have suggested that maybe the company should keep all user data, american user data on servers located here in the united states. well, it appears that that sort of compromise may well have been blown out of the water by these latest allegations of tiktok being used for spying. it is 12 minutes past eight. we have an extraordinary tale for you now — the story of a man who was the victim of a romance scam

which meant he lost £153,000. the extraordinary bit is, he got his money back, after bbc radio 4's money box intervened. to tell us more we have money box reporter dan whitworth with us now. an extraordinary story, it is quite complicated. take us to what happened. complicated. take us to what happened-— complicated. take us to what ha--ened. ~ , . happened. like many investigations we do on money _ happened. like many investigations we do on money box, _ happened. like many investigations we do on money box, it _ happened. like many investigations we do on money box, it started i happened. like many investigations| we do on money box, it started with an e—mailfrom a listener. he e—mailed us in, explain what had happened to his dad, his dad is called james, he is in his 70s and wanted happened over a course of a 13 month period, up until last month, james had been targeted and a push payment fraud, a type of fraud where criminals manipulate and trick victims into transferring the money. because james had been particularly vulnerable at the time, he had been caring for his wife, the main carer of his wife who had parkinson's disease and suffering from dementia, the scammer pretended to be a woman in her 60s in america and she

basically spunjames a web of lies, saying that she was an abusive relationship, she needed money to escape the relationship and, later on, that she had medical bills that she had to pay for and she so manipulated and groomed james into believing this web of lies, that she started asking for money. the payments were small just started asking for money. the payments were smalljust dealt with, a few hundred pounds than a few thousand pounds, they grew and grew that the total over 30 months ended up that the total over 30 months ended up at hundred £53,000. so convinced was the victim that what he was doing was right by this woman, when he was admitted to hospital last month, he asked his son, adam, to make another payment to this woman. of make another payment to this woman. of the sake this criminal. as soon as adam looked into his bank account, realise what had gone on, he realised this was a fraud, called the police, action freud, and called his dad's bank, lloyds. it fell

under the voluntary code, he should get a refund, the next day adam called lloyds back and was told that they had made a mistake, this fraud was not covered because the criminal had stolen funds using a foreign bank account, it was not covered and adam explain to me the news was like, hearing that he was not going to get that money back. if there is a code provided by a lrank— if there is a code provided by a bank to— if there is a code provided by a bank to protect their customers, it should _ bank to protect their customers, it should been all encompassing code, they should not be any holes in it. if someone — they should not be any holes in it. if someone is defrauded, they are defrauded — if someone is defrauded, they are defrauded on the code should kick in no matter— defrauded on the code should kick in no matter where the criminal resides or whether— no matter where the criminal resides or whether money has gone. ithink— or whether money has gone. i think it's _ or whether money has gone. i think it's important to say that the bank did try to stop the flow of money. the bank did try to stop the flow of mone . , ., the bank did try to stop the flow of mone . , . . the bank did try to stop the flow of mone. , ., , money. lloyds went above and build what banks usually _ money. lloyds went above and build what banks usually do _ money. lloyds went above and build what banks usually do in _ money. lloyds went above and build what banks usually do in cases, i money. lloyds went above and build what banks usually do in cases, not| what banks usually do in cases, not only did they initially spot these transactions is potentially fraudulent, they warn james in a

telephone call and actually went as far as calling him into a branch. but when you have been indoctrinated, when you are groomed, you cannot see beyond what is happening. he insisted these payments went ahead. lloyds actually went above and beyond that in the initial instance, their response was because this criminal used a foreign bank account, that is not covered by the code so you will not be eligible for a refund. you started looking into the case, take us through how you got involved. adam e—mailed me a couple of weeks ago, explaining what had happened. i have been reporting on the code for nearly four years that it has been around, and this is the first time i came across a case where they were told the criminals were brought and you are not covered. i called up a couple of experts, they confirm that is the case, did a lot more research, i spoke a lot to adam, found out more about his dad's case, his dad was still in hospital. essentially because of the things

that i discovered, because we found outjust how that i discovered, because we found out just how vulnerable james was when these criminals were getting their hooks into him, lloyds conducted a thorough review and looked into the case again. if i'm understanding this right, you are saying because it was foreign account, when would it not be a foreign account? is a fraud is being done by someone who is outside the uk, almost all of them presumably are coming, the money is going into are coming, the money is going into a foreign account? this code is called the... bank signed up to four years ago, because of domestic regulation and powers of the regulators, uk banks are obviously only have controls over fraudulent transactions which day and happened within the uk. the definition in the code it has to be you came paymentjourney. the regulators in this country have no control over bank accounts that are abroad, be that in america, philippines, morocco, germany, where

just called me, my dad is going to get a full refund. it was like a huge weight have been lifted _ it was like a huge weight have been lifted off— it was like a huge weight have been lifted off my shoulders, because i was looking after my dad on this. i felt a _ was looking after my dad on this. i felt a huge — was looking after my dad on this. i felt a huge sense of responsibility to try— felt a huge sense of responsibility to try and — felt a huge sense of responsibility to try and get him a good result. he is an— to try and get him a good result. he is an ill— to try and get him a good result. he is an ill health and the relief was indescribable, it was phenomenal. just to— indescribable, it was phenomenal. just to he — indescribable, it was phenomenal. just to be clear, this comes down to training in the banks as well, doesn't it? someone will be watching going, how on earth, you would expect the banks to be trying to spot that initially, they had that conversation with james, how can family members protect them family members? the main things to do are, if a loved one stock at certain secretive about a new friendship or relationship they might have a man, if they get aggressive when you

start asking details about you, that could be a sign of what this type of fraud is cool, romance fraud. if you think you may be a victim, someone is screaming you online, try to talk to friends and family —— this type of fraud is called a romance fraud. there is a lot of embarrassment attached to that, that moment of telling someone, a lot of people would feel embarrassed or ashamed that they are already in a pickle. embarrassment, guilt, these are stereotypical feelings and victim should not feel that way, they are, above all else, victim. it is fascinating. _ above all else, victim. it is fascinating. thank - above all else, victim. it is fascinating. thank you i above all else, victim. it is fascinating. thank you so i above all else, victim. it is fascinating. thank you so much, dan. there's more on this story on money box at midday on bbc radio 4. it is 20 minutes past eight. comic relief bosses have praised the generosity of the british public after this year's red nose day raised more than £30 million.

most of the money — which will help uk charities and some of the world's poorest people — was donated during a three hour programme of spoofs, songs and sketches on bbc one last night. graham satchell was watching. comic relief started with a regeneration. sir lenny henry, who has been part of the show from the start, transforming into the former doctor, david tennant, one of this year's hosts. hello, salford! much of the show felt like an alternative universe. i don't mean to be rude, but can you sing? how dare you. i have the voice of an angel. graham norton heading a spoof judging panel to find the next eurovision star, including a dalek... let me sing! i think we have a winner here. ..bono... # wedding bells, wishing wells, early morning dew #.

they know all the short cuts. did you hear about the italian chef who died? | he pasta way. i was wondering why the frisbee kept looking bigger and bigger... and then it hit me. comic relief raises money for good causes in the uk and around the world. this year, the work of a homeless charity called groundswell was highlighted by prince william. my mother introduced me to the cause of homelessness from quite a young age, and i'm really glad she exposed me to that, that part of life, but i think she'd be disappointed that we're still no further along the road in terms of tackling homelessness and preventing than probably when she was interested and involved in it. by ten o'clock last night, this year's total stood atjust under £32 million, and it is likely to keep rising in the coming days. graham satchell, bbc news.

they can win the six nations grand slam in dublin for the first time. a win against england at the aviva stadium would cap off a fantastic tournament for them and make for a very special st patrick's day weekend as. andy swiss reports. st patrick's day in dublin, when a city turns into a street party, but they'll be hoping the celebrations here have onlyjust begun. because rugby could sooner mean more revelry. victory over england this afternoon, and a grand slam will be ireland's to coast. cheers! how confident are you about the grand slam? very confident, extremely. england are rubbish, man. laughs. very confident, absolutely, ireland have been playing impecably. it's going to be a weekend _ to remember, a weekend to remember! i'll had the best weekend

of my life, please, god. and who can blame their belief? ireland happen untouchable so far this six nations, four wins out of four and in thrilling style. some 50,000 will be inside this stadium to see whether ireland can make history. they have never clinched grand slam here in dublin but glory is now within their grasp. there's also family pride at stake. ireland's head coach andy farrell is the father of the england captain, owen, once a youngster celebrating with his dad, now international rivals. we don't ask questions that puts the other person in too much of a predicament, so i know that he's travelling over today, not staying too far from our house actually. the grandkids are coming over today as well, so we will see if we can

squeeze them over to cheer for irela. should ireland lose today though, france could still snatch the title if they beat wales. commentator: penalty advantage to scotland. l one of the day's opening games — scotland face italy after an encouraging campaign hoping to end on a high. i kind of outlined our kind of goal of five group performances. i think we are at 2.5just now, so to get up to 4.5 would be good, so, you, looking for a strong performance to secure that third—place outright would be a positive, i think. but the focus will be on the aviva stadium, five years after the last grand slam once again the trophy is ireland's for the taking. andy swiss, bbc news. eddie howe believes newcastle's late winner against nottingham forest is a massive boost after they won 2—1 and put themselves a point behind fourth—placed totte n ha m.

game on the touchline and you realise how old you are becoming. that is going to be interesting, isn't it? here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. i wish i could control the weather but unfortunately, it is heavy showers, that is the story through the day today. quite mild though with temperatures above where they should be for the time of year. a better story tomorrow if you want drier weather. better story tomorrow if you want drierweather. more better story tomorrow if you want drier weather. more sunshine but it comes at a price, that little bit fresher. the reason why we have this unsettled story is the low pressure setting out towards northern ireland. then we have this really messy mix of frontal systems and it is enhancing the showers through northern ireland and into western scotland the moment. a line of

showers are just pushing up through south east and that will move towards kent and up into east anglia but even sandwiched between the two, we are still likely to see some showers through the day today. some of those showers are slow—moving as well. maybe with the odd rumble of thunder mixed in there, too, but with some sunshine around, we will still see some warmth. top temperatures around 50 degrees. —— 15 degrees. it is worth mentioning that in the northern ireland, still in that colder air, only five or 6 degrees and as that rain moves through overnight tonight, it could turn a little more wintry in nature. as we move through the evening, it looks likely that that frontal clearway, skies will start a clear and temperatures full away. it will be eight started to sunday morning but it looks likely that mother's day will be joined with some sunshine. the comedian sara pascoe's had an interesting few years full of life changes — so whilst her last tour

was about a relationship break—up and being single — her new show looks at being married with a baby. she's also keeping busy with a second series of her bbc two show 'last woman on earth', which sees her learning how to do the world's most endangered jobs — which can lead to some strange encounters. let's take a look. i have a lot of evil eye on me, making me tired. it is not the new baby, it is the evil eye.— baby, it is the evil eye. water and olive oil. you _ baby, it is the evil eye. water and olive oil. you poor _ baby, it is the evil eye. water and olive oil. you poor the _ baby, it is the evil eye. water and olive oil. you poor the oil, - baby, it is the evil eye. water and olive oil. you poor the oil, if - baby, it is the evil eye. water and olive oil. you poor the oil, if they| olive oil. you poor the oil, if they se arate olive oil. you poor the oil, if they separate from — olive oil. you poor the oil, if they separate from your _ olive oil. you poor the oil, if they separate from your cool. - olive oil. you poor the oil, if they separate from your cool. if- olive oil. you poor the oil, if they separate from your cool. if they i separate from your cool. if they meet together, you're in trouble. it means that you have the evil eye. i knew means that you have the evil eye. knew it! means that you have the evil eye. i knew it! people are jealous of me. i

there is camaraderie and i started at a time when there are a lot more channels for comedians. they said comedians can host travel shows and write books so it felt like a time of plenty. there were fewer of women and there was such generosity. i cannot do this gig but i cannot do it and you do it?— it and you do it? success now but back to the _ it and you do it? success now but back to the time _ it and you do it? success now but back to the time when _ it and you do it? success now but back to the time when you - it and you do it? success now but back to the time when you were i back to the time when you were rubbish! have you got a standout gig from the beginning when you can see yourself in that place and time and remember it clearly? you yourself in that place and time and remember it clearly?— yourself in that place and time and remember it clearly? you know when ou cannot remember it clearly? you know when you cannot get _ remember it clearly? you know when you cannot get to _ remember it clearly? you know when you cannot get to sleep _ remember it clearly? you know when you cannot get to sleep and - remember it clearly? you know when you cannot get to sleep and you - remember it clearly? you know when you cannot get to sleep and you get i you cannot get to sleep and you get the shame sweats, i get that. there are a few to choose from but i once had to follow a dog jumping up at a balloon. it was at a pub in west london. it was the hackney empire new act competition in this dog was jumping at a balloon and the audience was going crazy and i

thought, if they like him, imagine how much they will like me, but it was the opposite. i came on and they were like, bring back the dog! i just could not be as adorable and it was a real life lesson, don't compete with dogs but have an interval. ~ ., , ., compete with dogs but have an interval. ~ :, , ., ., compete with dogs but have an interval. ~ ., ., interval. would you now say, you have your — interval. would you now say, you have your rules _ interval. would you now say, you have your rules about _ interval. would you now say, you have your rules about who - interval. would you now say, you have your rules about who you i interval. would you now say, you | have your rules about who you go interval. would you now say, you i have your rules about who you go on after? :, :, have your rules about who you go on after? ., ., ., ., , ., ., after? never follow a raffle or a do. after? never follow a raffle or a dog. sometimes _ after? never follow a raffle or a dog. sometimes they _ after? never follow a raffle or a dog. sometimes they will i after? never follow a raffle or a dog. sometimes they will do i after? never follow a raffle or a dog. sometimes they will do a i after? never follow a raffle or a i dog. sometimes they will do a raffle and bring you on but people have their prizes and they are unwrapping things and are disappointed, they are not concentrating. if they love are not concentrating. if they love a raffle this much, imagine how great i am going to be. i do a raffle this much, imagine how great i am going to be.- great i am going to be. i do like our great i am going to be. i do like your optimism _ great i am going to be. i do like your optimism because - great i am going to be. i do like your optimism because i - great i am going to be. i do like your optimism because i think i great i am going to be. i do like i your optimism because i think you said that you saw the dog act and you're thinking, because i can speak, they are going to like me more. i think i would have been thinking that you cannot beat a dog. it is like when we have a dog in the studio, no one cares about anything else apart from the dog. this

we met, there was very much a we like each other, i think we are going to befriends, you know i am not up for what she did with your last boyfriend, and that was ready good like a prenup agreement. your life is fine, my life separate. it is like, you do not talk about it? it is an unwritten rule, not allowed. it is an unwritten rule, not allowed-— it is an unwritten rule, not allowed. ., ., ., ., ., u allowed. you have a daughter now. a son who is 13 — allowed. you have a daughter now. a son who is 13 months. _ allowed. you have a daughter now. a son who is 13 months. when - allowed. you have a daughter now. a son who is 13 months. when your- allowed. you have a daughter now. aj son who is 13 months. when your son is older and — son who is 13 months. when your son is older and aware _ son who is 13 months. when your son is older and aware of— son who is 13 months. when your son is older and aware of what _ son who is 13 months. when your son is older and aware of what mum i is older and aware of what mum adores and she tells stories about family life and possibly about him, do you think your boundaries will change because inevitably, there must be lots of comedians who have been down that path and have had to make choices about how you did with that? it make choices about how you did with that? , ., .., , ' that? it is a complete different resonse that? it is a complete different response ability _ that? it is a complete different response ability because i that? it is a complete different response ability because the i response ability because the internet now, things exist and

morning. tickets are on sale now. headlines are coming up.

number right now? 34 million. you pick up a bit after the night. i good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: president biden says vladimir putin "clearly committed war crimes" as the international criminal court issues an arrest warrant for the russian leader over the war in ukraine. junior doctors say there'll be no more strikes while pay talks take place with the government. a phenomenal £30 million! more than £30 million has been raised for good causes in this year's comic relief. it could be the perfect st patrick's day weekend for ireland. on the final day of the six nations, they play england in dublin and are favourites to take the grand slam. good morning. this weekend is shaping up to a tale of two halves.

today, it is a case of sunny spells and scattered, sharp showers but mild for all. tomorrow will be a little bit quieter, just that little bit cooler. all the details coming up shortly. it's saturday march 18th. our top story. president biden has said vladimir putin has "clearly committed war crimes" after the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for the russian president.(pres)the the icc alleges he is responsible for criminal acts, and failing to use his presidential powers to stop children being deported from ukraine to russia. our correspondent helena wilkinson reports. it is a war that he ordered. a war that brought death and devastation. a war that sent millions fleeing for their lives. but it's one that has now left president putin accused of war crimes by an international court, and even more isolated

on the world stage. the judges have reviewed the information and evidence submitted by the prosecutor, and determined that there are credible allegations against these persons for the alleged crimes. the international criminal court, based in the hague, alleges the russian leader and another official are individually responsible for the war crime of unlawfully deporting children from ukraine to russia. this was the reaction from president biden to the icc�*s move. i think itjustifies it, but the question is it's not recognised internationally by us either, but i think it clearly makes a very strong point. he has clearly committed a war crime. in the chaos that followed the invasion, millions of people were displaced, and there have been reports of thousands of children being sent to so—called re—education camps in russia —

alleged crimes for which ukraine's president has repeatedly demanded justice. translation: this is an historic decision from which historical i responsibility will begin. the head of the terrorist state and another russian official have become suspects in a war crime. a kremlin spokesman said the allegations were 'outrageous' and 'unacceptable'. the foreign ministry said the arrest warrant meant nothing legally. translation: russia is not a party to the rome statute| of the international criminal court and bears no obligations under it. the man investigating the allegations against mr putin denied the warrants were symbolic. there are reasonable grounds to believe that crimes - within our court's jurisdiction have been committed, - so those that feel that you canj commit a crime in the daytime and sleep well at night should perhaps look at history. -

vladimir putin may never be arrested or appear in court, but it's not everyday that a serving head of state is accused of war crimes, and it's a signal from the international community that they will seek justice for what has been happening in ukraine. helena wilkinson, bbc news. more than 1400 security guards at heathrow airport are planning to strike over easter in their pay dispute. the unite union says workers at terminal 5 will strike for ten days from march 31st until easter sunday. the airport says it has contingency plans in place to stay open and says it has already offered a 10% pay rise. rail services will be disrupted again today, as members of the rmt union at 14 train operators take part in strikes. it's the second walkout this week in the long—running dispute about pay, job security and working conditions. passengers are being advised

to check before they travel. junior doctors' leaders have become the latest union to agree to enter pay talks with the government. the british medical association has said it won't announce new strike action while negotiations are taking place. the government is also holding "intensive" talks with teachers' unions to try to end a dispute over pay in england. our political correspondent tony bonsignore has more. tony, it feels like progress is being made in some areas? but still a lot to be resolved. good mornint. but still a lot to be resolved. good morning- an _ but still a lot to be resolved. good morning. an awful— but still a lot to be resolved. good morning. an awful lot _ but still a lot to be resolved. good morning. an awful lot to _ but still a lot to be resolved. good morning. an awful lot to be i morning. an awful lot to be resolved. the language being used represent some sort of progress, in terms ofjunior doctors we had a statement that the commitment size fares settlement, it recognises the importance ofjunior doctors and the financial pressures. junior doctors talking about the window of

opportunity after the 72 hour strike which cause a huge amount of disruption. in terms of this dispute, there is a huge difference and gap between the two sides, they need to reach an agreement, it needs to be put to members and they need to be put to members and they need to reach an agreement, it needs to be put to members and needed to accept it. doctors, they are quite prepared to return to the picket line in the event, they say, other substandard offer. then there is a question of where any money for a new offer might come from. this week we had this big breakthrough, other health unions, a fall billion pound payoff. the deputy prime minister dominic raab says that front—line spending will be protected. —— that fall billion pound payoff. not clear whether it is new money, whether it is a mix. if it is from

existing budgets, what impact will that have. given what is its daycare, which is notjust pay but the future of the health service, i suspect that the unions might want little bit more of the reassurance before agreeing to any deal. tony, thank you. the home secretary suella braverman is visiting rwanda as part of her plan to stop people crossing the channel on small boats to claim asylum in the uk. she'll meet president kagame, and other officials, to discuss the agreement to send asylum seekers to rwanda. the deal was made last april but has faced several legal challenges — and nobody has been sent under the scheme yet. protesters have clashed with police once again in central paris over the french government's pension reforms. thousands of demonstrators lit fires and some threw firecrackers at police, who used tear gas to disperse them. it's the second night of unrest since president macron decided to push through the controversial reforms to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote.

the actor sam neill has revealed he's been diagnosed with what he calls a "ferocious" cancer. the peaky blinders star says he fell ill while publicising the latest jurassic world film last march. he's had treatment for non—hodgkin lymphoma — including chemotherapy — but says he's now in remission and feels positive about the future. it is nine minutes past nine. you might have seen some of comic relief last night. a lot of money has been raised. comic relief bosses have praised the generosity of the british public after this year's red nose day raised more than £34 million. most of the money — which will help uk charities and some of the world's poorest people — was donated during a three hour programme of spoofs, songs and sketches on bbc one last night. the show included blackadder�*s baldrick reading the cbeebies bedtime story, dame mary berry meeting star wars legend obi—wan kenobi, and u2 frontman bono

auditioning for eurovision. there was a host of stars, a lot of entertainment. there are so many highlights, on the iplayer at the moment. it is ten minutes past nine. another highlight of this programme is louise. a lease for this we can, i have been trying to get it out of my brain, yourfinal graphic, my brain, your final graphic, because my brain, yourfinal graphic, because this cloud is full of rain. i am spoiling the ending. let's not get to the final graphic, it is going to be wet next week, thatis it is going to be wet next week, that is all you need to know. today is a bit of a lottery and the favoured few have a little bit of sunshine, beautiful this morning in lancashire that for many it is poor visibility. some sharp showers around, this is kent at the moment, the raindrops on the paddles. because of the low pressure that is

steering the ship at the moment. this little bump behind it is a ridge of high pressure which will quiet things down for mother's day, a weekend of two halves. this is where the showers are at the moment, spilling out of northern ireland are now open to scotland and we have a line of showery rain and to the south—east corner. it is sandwiched in between the two, some showers around as well. it really is going to be very hit and miss today. it is still mild, temperatures are likely to peak between 13 and 15 celsius. the showery rain moving out of northern ireland into scotland, that will continue to drift its way steadily eastward. still pretty cold in the northern isles on this batch of rain arrives by the end of the day and through the night, there is the chance that as the wind swings round to a northerly, some of that could have wintry mix, rain, sleet and snow in there. that will ease

away, trailing weather front down on to the south—east bringing cloud through the night but on the whole, skies will clear and temperatures fall into single figures generally across the country. a chilly start to mother's day but they should be a sunny one. many of us waking up to more sunshine, it will count over a little bit from the west into the afternoon but on the whole the outlook is to stay dry, the rain arrives on to northern ireland by the end of the afternoon and the temperatures are likely to be between eight and 13 celsius as the overall high. this is what ten was talking about, isobars squeezing together —— naga. showers, longer spells of rain, wet and windy week ahead, muddy where these by the end of the week —— muddy wellies by the end of the week if you are out walking the dog. it is 12 minutes past nine.

we've reported before on the shortage of nurses within the nhs — but even where people are being recruited, the cost of living is making it hard for some to continue in thejob. petrol costs, energy bills and rent increases mean some student nurses are quitting the profession as they david lumb reports. an nhs in crisis... overworked and underpaid. ..a frustrated workforce... today, we're doing skills and simulation. ..and even for some trying to enter the profession, like these in worcester, a daily struggle. i'm 28 years old. i'm a second year nursing student. i faced a lot of challenges, even though i get support from my family back home in nigeria. one of them would be the rising cost in the electricity bills and also the bus fares and having to go to placement and having to buy groceries. everything has just spiked. i'm 21 and i'm a third year nursing student. some of my friends have had to drop out because they can't afford it. i don't think i could have managed to do the course if i wasn't

living at home because, you know, i have the luxury of my parents being able to support me. obviously everything's going on, you know, petrol to placement, parking, all these things that you don't think about when actually when everything's going up, you know, then you do start to think about it and it does start to get more difficult as you go on. at newman university in birmingham, new £3 million nursing facilities, human simulators, an immersive reality suite for scenario training, a digital table for learning anatomy. it allows us to cross—section the patient, take away layer by layer so we can see underlying structures. and then we can see things like muscles, bones. just 85 places for the new course due to start in september, already more than 600 applicants. we know the demand is out there, both in terms of the employers needing trained professionals, but also there are a lot of people out there who want to go into these professions. i'm phoebe. i'm 22 and i'm a thirdj year nursing student.

it's like a bug, nursing, it gets under your skin. j and once you get it in, i it's like you are a nurse. it becomes you. it becomes part of you. the problem is retention. record numbers of nurses are leaving the nhs and nearly cancelling out the rise in newjoiners. i asked a health thinktank why. the number of staff leaving their role due to work—life balance has quadrupled over the last decade and is nearly exceeding the number of staff leaving due to retirement. i think separately to that, there's been a survey of leavers from the nursing register in the uk which found that negative workplace culture was also a key reason. i would imagine that the pandemic and the kind of burn—out from the pandemic has had some has had some impact. the government says there are 38,000 more nurses now than in 2019 and says it's on track to deliver on a promise to recruit 50,000 by 2024. it says it will publish a plan this year to recruit and retain staff. meanwhile, these students

in worcester have no doubt it is the career for them. i knew the salary when i started the course and that didn't put me off. ithink, you know, i don't do it for the money. i don't think any nurse should do it for the money. i think they should do it because they love patient care and they love delivering high, safe patient care, giving care and being compassionate i and feeling what people feel. trying to make people feel better. we're nowjoined by daniel mortimer, chief executive of nhs employers. good morning. we were hearing there from three nurses, barely in the profession, already really concerned about how they are going to make ends meet. how typical is this in terms of what you are hearing? i think as properly with most of your listeners, it is typical. the last couple of year is have taken a real toll on people, the cost of

living, as phoebe and her colleagues set out, has increased for staff working in the nhs, as well as people in the wider economy. that is why the pay deal that the government have reach with jeans this week is so important, because it puts money, extra money in people's pockets this year and gives a pretty good pay deal entered the future years as well —— the government have reach with unions this week. in terms of someone, retention is an issue, because you have people doubting whether or not they can stay, attraction to the job, and recruitment is an issue. even with the pay awards, with the pay rises, how is this going to impact in terms of meeting certain targets? there is a couple of things. as he heard the —— as you heard there,

huge interest in nursing and other professions as a career, what the government has asked the nhs to do is to set out a plan for its future workforce needs going forward for the next few years, the limiting factor is they can only provide 85 places. the government needs to invest in more places for nurses and other professions. that would make a massive impact. an exit difference in the availability of people and to the people we have already. —— it makes a difference. there are things for the government to do, planning, as well as pay and other parts of the package. there are things that members need to do, real focus are things that members need to do, realfocus on are things that members need to do, real focus on the moment of improving flexibility to give people much more control of their working patterns, we are investing heavily in people's career development. we are looking at other ways of

bringing people into careers, apprenticeships are becoming massively important to us and we are seeing people choosing to stay much longer, and much more stable and she reached into nursing particularfor us, we are finding. there are whole number of things that employees in the nhs are doing, the government needs to do its part as well. we know there is a pay offer on the table, some units have recommended it, how important is it for morale that this is done, and this is resolved soon and quickly? it is massively important. i think it is taking us a while to get to this point in the pine ester and the chancellor were reluctant for the nhs to enter into these talks —— the prime minister. we absolutely feel a sense of relief across the nhs but we've got to place. we are positive about the fact that junior doctors have agreed to enter into talks with

the government next week as well and we are hopeful that staff are able now to return to focusing on their patients, as they want to. they have not want to be placed in this position and we are really hopeful that what the government has done will make a massive, massive difference. will make a massive, massive difference-— will make a massive, massive difference. , ., ~ difference. danny mortimer, thank ou for difference. danny mortimer, thank you for your— difference. danny mortimer, thank you for your time _ difference. danny mortimer, thank you for your time this _ difference. danny mortimer, thank you for your time this morning. i you for your time this morning. the time is 20 minutes past nine. not sure what kind of activity you were involved in this way, but there is a man running around leicester. this is 155 miles in 50 hours and it is a friend of the former... the former england and leicester tigers rugby player tom youngs has got some good friends. one of them is in the middle of an incredible challenge this weekend — all in memory of tom's wife who died last year. will findlay is running 250

hiding behind the sofa, judging by the performance of england last weekend. the grand slam title is ireland's toulouse. —— two lose. they play england later on the final day of the six nations tournament. victory would mean ireland will take the title for the first time at home in dublin. our sports correspondent andy swiss is at the aviva stadium for us. complaicent, can they? now, although, there is something of a party atmosphere in dublin because yesterday, of course, was st patrick's day. a huge parade through the city centre, there will be another hefty street party if ireland can win the grand slam later on. as you say, they have only won it three times in the entire history, most recently in 2018 and they have never won a grand slam here in dublin. it would be

something very special indeed. they have looked immensely assured and therefore matches so far, they've had problems with injuries but they found a way to win as they showed in the last game against scotland. it could be particularly emotional day for the captainjonny sexton, he said he will retire after the world cup later this year. this could be his final six nations match and what a way it would be to bow out of the six nations with a grand slam. andy, after england's _ six nations with a grand slam. andy, after england's pummelling - six nations with a grand slam. andy, after england's pummelling by - six nations with a grand slam. andy, after england's pummelling by france last week in, is it the only way upset and? they upset and ? they would upset and? they would like to think so, it that 53-10 they would like to think so, it that 53—10 defeat to france last weekend was the heaviest home defeat in their entire history. there to say their entire history. there to say the england fans will be arriving here with limited expectations, not surprisingly england have made a few changes to the line—up, they have dropped marcus smith, they have brought back captain owen farrell.

he is the son of the ireland head coach andy farrell, a little bit of a family pride at stake here. england will know only too well that is only six months now until the world cup, they will be desperately hoping to try and and the six nations on a positive note. ireland have won the last 13 games here at home, so england, 30 say, are up against it. home, so england, 30 say, are up auainst it. ., ., , home, so england, 30 say, are up against it— against it. not the only match toda . against it. not the only match today. scotland _ against it. not the only match today. scotland play - against it. not the only match today. scotland play first - against it. not the only match today. scotland play first on l against it. not the only match l today. scotland play first on the defending champions france take on wales. talk us through the significance of the outcome of those matches. in terms of the championship, to try and keep it simple, if ireland when all they draw, they will win the title. if ireland lose today, it gets a little bit more complicated because france could still snatch the title if they beat wales, but not necessarily, it could come down

to points difference, two bonus points, it could get a little bit complicated. scotland are an action, they are playing italy. gotland have won two and lost two so far in this championship, they will be hoping to end their campaign on a high —— scotland. to football and manchester city take on burnley later in the quarter finals of the fa cup but — arguably — the club getting the most attention this weekend will be lowest ranked left in the competition, league 2 grimsby town, who're away at premier league brighton tomorrow, live on the bbc. grimsby have certainly made a splash this season — after knocking out opponents from higher divisions in five consecutive rounds. they're back on the road as mike bushell reports. the incredible journey continues for grimsby town fans. after the league 2 side's record—breaking victory at

not that much of the web sunshine around. the facility has been disappointing in places so far this morning. it should improve but as you can see, across eastern scotland and north—east england, we have had some purpose ability. it was a beautiful day yesterday in county durham. also some showers around today, some of them heavy, maybe even with some thunder mixed in there as well with this low pressure dominating the story. most of the showers have been out to the north and west at the moment. we have this cluster of showers are just pushing up cluster of showers are just pushing up from the south—east corner as well also sandwiched in between the two, if you scattered showers around so it will be a real lottery if

you're out and about this afternoon. the showers should become well scattered and across east anglia where we have seen the heavier rain through the morning, an improving picture. top temperatures around 1a or 15 degrees. some of the showers, slow—moving with light winds and the odd rumble of thunder mixed in there. here, ten or 11 degrees as there. here, ten or 11 degrees as the high but still colder air across the high but still colder air across the northern ireland. that area of rain into the far north will drift towards the northern isles with stronger winds overnight tonight. the trailing front willjust produce some cloud across east anglia but elsewhere, the skies are clear and temperatures are negative for the way soda is going to bh layer started sunday but sunday should be a little bit more straightforward. more sunny weather watcher pictures to look out for first thing on sunday morning. more of a northerly breeze, a fresher feel generally

across the country. clouding over during the afternoon with rain arriving into northern ireland by the end of the day but the temperatures still pretty much where they should be for the time of year at eight to 13 degrees. it is going to go down from then onwards. monday into tuesday, a series of weather fronts put in from the atlantic and is going to be heavy rain at times and even when it clears, it clear to showers and it will stay relatively mild but pretty unsettled. that's all from us and the breakfast team today. we'll leave you with this week's episode of click.

the cars can go from 0 to 100 in four seconds. they are made of 80,000 parts. the brakes can hit 1000 degrees. this is formula 1. this year's season is getting under way and it is jam packed full of tech, and it's notjust the cars. yeah, it's all about the data these days. they collect as much of it as they can from on and off the track to help make decisions which could change the results, and alistair keane has been given exclusive access to the alpine f1 team to find out how they race. being behind the wheel of a formula 1 car is a privilege. driving the fastest car in the world, the adrenaline rush is so high. it's a privilege because there are more than 1000 people

working on our team. i'm the guy that's sitting in front of the axis. that feeling of speed and the g—force you feel at the corners, due to the speed you are carrying, it is just so satisfying. what do you make of the car that's been unveiled behind us? well, i think it looks beautiful. in terms of evolution, i'm more interested in the changes and tweaks which have been done on that car compared to last year's. the front wing, the back of the car, which the engineers have changed to improve the performance, so we need to get it to the track and see how it behaves. i guess every single team though is doing the same thing, they are all trying to push their cars and technology and everything, does it reallyjust level the playing field, or can you get a competitive edge?

you can get a competitive edge as long as you always question yourself. technology evolves very quickly, it's a very fast moving world, and in formula 1, if you look at the cars from 20 years ago, ten years ago, five years ago, its continuous progress. hi, how's it going? good morning. thanks for having us here. here we are in the design office, this is where all the engineers are working together to achieve maximum performance of these beautiful objects, these formula 1 cars. lots of what is on people's screens in here is top—secret but a lot of it is about data. yeah, absolutely. you know, we are a highly data—driven kind of business because of regulation. those rules of f1 guide everything the teams are doing is their factories, from limiting how much testing the cars are put through to capping the money they can spend.

that's why the team here are working with microsoft to gather analytics and make sure every penny is spent wisely. but it's notjust data from races being looked at. we've been given a rare access to the simulator where esteban ocon is doing laps in anticipation of his next race. this is a closely guarded secret, with each team designing their own versions with this tech. how important is all the background stuff that happens away from the track? it's basically the same work we would do if we were testing on the track, so we have a replica of the model we have on the track itself and we are working to prepare ourselves the best to arrive on site and be completely ready. do you ever worry the data and the technology is taking away from the driving and the sport of formula 1? not at all. no, because we are completely involved, we use data as well. time moves forward, the cars are getting more and more technology. this is formula 1, the peak

of what you can do, the fastest machines on the planet. astronauts in space would have thousands of data as well, and for us it's the same thing but on the ground. hey, come on in, welcome to my new home. it's around 2100 square feet and it's packed full of curves and contortions. this place has such an unusual, futuristic feel about it, i mean there's not a straight wall in the place. you may find yourself wondering how do you make such curvy walls? well, if you look at them a bit closer, you might be able work out the answer. this is 3d printing at scale.

it's a largely automated method of manufacturing houses and it's thanks to a fleet of giant 3d printers. they squirt out a layer of material and then they squirt out another, and another, and another. icon has partnered up with one of the biggest housebuilders in america to deliver 100 homes here in georgetown, texas. hey. you're connor? i'm connor. spencer, right? nice to meet you. welcome to the job site of the future. now, the walls aren'tjust thin lines of concrete. there are multiple layers forming concrete columns to add rigidity. reinforced by steel, they are printed using a proprietary material, a cement—like substance that is air—tight while also providing increased insulation. but how easy is it to both be creative and cost efficient? the reason we exist is to be faster,

cheaper, more resilient. the very awesome thing about 3d printing is it allows for you to do that at scale, so we're talking about delivering tens to hundreds of homes that can all be different in design and delivered simultaneously because the faster you can produce houses, the less you have to staff those worksites and jobsites, and then you also have all the design freedom and flexibility that you can possibly imagine, plus you get a more resilient build material. you have your primary bedroom here. master bedroom. right. being british, can i show you the most exciting thing about an american home? i'm guessing this is the walk—in wardrobe, the walk—in closet right? this is the walk—in closet! i have never owned a walk—in closet. no? no, no, no. i'd be in here all day. welcome to america, not only america, but texas, right? everything is bigger. what's really different about 3d

printing is that all the permanent fixtures can be laid down at the same time. this includes things like the kitchen island and the holes for plumbing and electrics. the show home we started in is called house zero, and that was designed by a different architecture firm. it's more of a show home of what could be possible in the future. it's not for sale, which is a crying shame, because it's definitely my kind of place. and actually, my new favourite thing about how we're going to living in the future is how we'll fill our baths. there's no tap in that tub. instead, you fill it from the ceiling. actually, i have been reassured that in the future they will still have taps. now, despite all the talk, self—driving cars still aren't quite here yet.

i mean, for good reason, they are the hardest autonomous vehicles to get right because i have to navigate the case of the open road which has drivers like me on it! you said it! but there are lots of vehicles that can drive themselves and more controlled situations and they 're often used in the logistics industry so back in austin, texas, paul carter has been to meet a company bringing the humble forklift up to date. yes, the humble forklift has been the backbone of global industry for over 100 years. and now they're getting a 21st—century makeover. here at fox robotics in austin, they've created what they call the world's first intelligent forklift. beyond being just self—driving, it can unload and receive packages completely autonomously. so we start with a standard counterbalance stand—up forklift.

we add sensors for both perception, being able to understand the world around the forklift, as well as safety. so our primary sensors are we have one camera right here between the forks. oh, yeah. it is both a depth camera, as well as a regular camera that helps with the pallet detector so it can determine is that a pallet? what type of pallet is it? what direction is it? our other main sensor is we have three micro scan lidar, so there's two forward and one, if the walk all the way around, back here, that's steer—ward. so that pretty much gives a 360—degree view. the robot can unload 25 pallets in an hour but there are limitations. it's really easy to build a robot that works once but to build one that works every single time, day in, day out, that's something that matters a lot to us. figuring out how to both meet

the workload needs that customers have and maintain our perfect safety record and be compliant with all required standards is a real challenge for introducing any kind of new autonomous system into a workplace. being around them when they work is slightly unnerving at first. it's quite strange how quickly get used to the fact that this is just driving around by itself. i'm already completely happy with the fact there's a very large, very heavy piece of equipment, driving around autonomously. as the world changes and automation becomes more common, it's clear there that innovation and industry face some conflicting times ahead. but in the brave new world, your next parcel delivery might have been on part of its journey thanks

to one of these. and that's it for the short version of the programme. the full—length show can be found on iplayer. thanks for watching. we will see you soon. bye— bye.
