6:02 am
in order to make america great and glorious again, i am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the united states. applause four months after he announced a third run for president, donald trump could make history for a rather different reason. responding to speculation in the american media, he took to his own platform, truth social, to level a capslock chorus of accusation against the manhattan district attorney, whose office, mr trump believes, has been leaking news of his imminent arrest. central to a long—running investigation undertaken by the da's office is the porn star known as stormy daniels. prosecutors have been looking into whether mr trump made illegal payments in order to buy her silence before the 2017 presidential election, following a brief affair. that, he denies, but it is the final five words of that social media posting that have proved particularly disconcerting to some. "protest," he writes.
6:03 am
"take our nation back." a message chillingly similar to one he delivered shortly before the uprising at the us capitol building on 6january, 2021, which saw a violent mob of trump supporters lay siege to the seat of government. senior republicans have rallied to mr trump's defence. on twitter, the house speaker kevin mccarthy said arresting the former president would amount to what he called an outrageous abuse of power. but his democratic opponent nancy pelosi branded but his democratic opponent mr trump's social media message reckless, saying its aim was to keep himself in the news and ferment unrest amongst his supporters. for voters in mr trump's home state of florida, the tune is familiar, and opinion remains sharply divided. this is just beyond ridiculous at this point. you can keep going after him and the outcomes are all going to be the same, and it is only going to incite more people to come out and support.
6:04 am
he has committed so many crimes and nobody has prosecuted him enough yet. i will look forward to seeing justice be done. mr trump's legal team say they have received no indication of their client's impending arrest, but he is facing legal battles on a number of other fronts as well. america 45th president could become the first one ever to be charged with a crime. russian state media is reporting that vladimir putin has visited the visited the devastated ukrainian city of mariupol, which was seized by russian troops last may. the tass news agency says he travelled there by helicopter, and drove around the city talking to residents. it follows mr putin's visit to crimea yesterday, to mark the ninth anniversary of russia's annexation of the peninsula from ukraine. meanwhile, a deal allowing ukraine to export millions of tonnes
6:05 am
of grain through the black sea has been extended, despite the ongoing conflict with russia. it's unclear how long the pact will last, though. ukraine wants an 120—day extension but russia says it's only willing to renew for 60 days, unless sanctions against moscow are eased. the export agreement was brokered lastjuly, following fears of a global food crisis. the three candidates vying for the leadership of the snp have pledged to reform its operations after the resignation of its chief executive. peter murrell, who's married to the outgoing leader, nicola sturgeon, said he was taking responsibility for misleading the media about how many members the party had. 0ur scotland editor, james cook, reports. it isa it is a partnership forged in politics, nicola sturgeon and peter murrell met in the snp and wanted to dominated but her decision to quit

along with the police investigation into party finances has piled the pressure on him. the final straw — a row over the s&p's untruthful claim its membership was stable when in fact it had plummeted by 30,000 just over a year. in a statement, mr murrell said while there was no intent to mislead i accept this has been the outcome. as my future has become a distraction from the campaign i have concluded that i should stand down, now.

6:30 am
james ward prowse with a stoppage time equaliser from the penalty spot. southampton are two points from safety. but tottenham missed the chance to go third in the premier league, which brought this extraordinary reaction from conte. they use it here. they use it here! don't play for they use it here. they use it here! don't play fo— they use it here. they use it here! don't play for inaudible important. didn't want to _ don't play for inaudible important. didn't want to play _ don't play for inaudible important. didn't want to play under _ don't play for inaudible important. didn't want to play under pressure. | didn't want to play under pressure. didn't want to play under pressure. didn't want to play under stress. it is easy this way, and tottenham, tottenham's story as this. 20 years and there is the honour and never won something. now i try to hide the situation but now? no, i i don't want to see what i have seen today because it is unacceptable.
6:31 am
nothing better than an angry manager. in contrast, leeds manager javi gracia said his players are "doing amazing" and "deserve this reward" after their 4—2 win at wolves, a result that moved them two points clear of the bottom three, rodrigo's late goal sealing the points. sean goss is evident�*s mentality is improving as they had a draw at chelsea, also two points clear of the drop zone. alice sims scored his first ever everton a goal in the 89th minute to salvage the draw. victory for both celtic and rangers to keep the gap between them at nine points. celtic came from behind to win while the rangers did the same to beat motherwell for—two. win while the rangers did the same to beat motherwellfor—two. this goal it's got the three points. some abounds were protesting a section of the board ahead of kick—off.

now how many goals could we see this season? another hat—trick scored last night as manchester city beats burnley 6—0 to move into the semifinals of the fa cup. it was his eighth goal in the past two games, his sixth hat—trick of the season, leaving him on 42 for the season — according to alan shearer on match of the day. it was a difficult return to the club for burnley manager vincent kompany, the former city captain, who received a warm welcome on his return. i played against the greats of this time, you know, messi, all of these guys, you know, cristiano ronaldo, you know. in the end they are part of a very, very special elite because i don't think — i think even the very best find it difficult to stop those guys, no matter what you say, if you so you will stop them,

6:35 am
so exciting. take you, jane. this might be the time of year when you start thinking about spring cleaning but if that fills you with dread, spare a thought for the staff working at weston park, a 17th century stately home. as well as making sure the historic site is looking spick and span, vital conservation work is also under way. have you been thinking about spring cleaning? when the sun comes out it does expose... the dirty windows? expose... the di windows? , , ., the dirty windows? yes, new see what ou the dirty windows? yes, new see what you haven't — the dirty windows? yes, new see what you haven't kept _ the dirty windows? yes, new see what you haven't kept on _ the dirty windows? yes, new see what you haven't kept on top _ the dirty windows? yes, new see what you haven't kept on top of _ the dirty windows? yes, new see what you haven't kept on top of in _ the dirty windows? yes, new see what you haven't kept on top of in the i you haven't kept on top of in the winter. so as well as making the historic site of spick—and—span vital conservation work is under way. ben sidwell has been to lend a hand. classical music this time of year plenty of us are doing a bit of spring cleaning, the grandfather clock needs a bit of a dust. it takes me long enough to do my own house here but imagine if you had to clean one of the biggest stately homes in the west midlands?
6:36 am
well, that is what is facing the team at western parking structure, and the world—class collection of art. we are looking at painting and detail to check the condition and make notes about its current state in order to decide if any of them need treatment and how soon. more than 300 paintings _ need treatment and how soon. more than 300 paintings at _ need treatment and how soon. more than 300 paintings at weston park including works by gainsborough, constable and ben die, so to help they have brought in a team of conservation specialists from the hamilton kerr institute in cambridge. hamilton kerr institute in cambridge-— hamilton kerr institute in cambridge. this painting, unfortunately, _ cambridge. this painting, unfortunately, is - cambridge. this painting, unfortunately, is one i cambridge. this painting, unfortunately, is one that cambridge. this painting, i unfortunately, is one that is in very poor condition, mainly because of the way it has been painted originally. we felt we couldn't let this stay on the wall without trying to consolidate some of the paint thatis to consolidate some of the paint that is lifting on the surface, that is what my is doing right now. 0n on saturday and we should -et it

6:38 am
—— countess of bradford. the conservation of the collection is a year—round challenge and with some the items to clean and preserve they really do need all the help they really do need all the help they can get. feels like he has been dusting for hours. laughs. do you think he really was dusting the whole house? maybe he wasn't doing the fine renovation of the priceless art. but we could get back going around to my house, it doesn't have priceless artwork but it does need a clean. clea n. get clean. get rid of the dust. we'll have your headline is coming up at 7am. time now on breakfast for the travel show. this week on the travel show... ..mont saint—michel marks its millennium. that view is pretty amazing. there's the shadow of mont saint—michel on the sand. the parps and toots that make this port one of a kind. horns blaring one, two, three, four, five.
6:39 am
and saving these bundles of fluff from extinction. twittering and squawking yeah, he's thinking about it. all right. — we'll give him some time. there he comes. i'm beginning this week in northern france on a journey that two and a half million people take each year. you're kind of getting an idea of how popular this place must be because it's off season, it's super cold, but this bus is packed. you can see it. i've just got a glimpse of the abbey. it does look pretty special.
6:40 am
this is mont saint—michel, one of france's most visited sites. it's an island off the coast of brittany in normandy, connected to the mainland by a half a mile—long bridge that opened back in 2014. and this year, the island celebrates a very special anniversary. it is the 1,000 anniversary of the construction of the church. how on earth did they construct something like this 1,000 years ago? mm—hm. yeah. this is the best of medieval engineering. and it started off as a sanctuary dedicated to saint michel — saint michael — in the year 708. then it took off. you know, the pilgrims started to come. they had to come across the bay, so walk through the sands, and then it developed in the 11th century with the construction of the church. the abbey sits at the top of the cliff, surrounded by the village below.
6:41 am
even nowadays, there are quicksands out there. there are a lot of strong currents. so it must have been a really important site for people to want to make that kind ofjourney to see this place. yeah. it was the journey of a lifetime. it's just quite funny to come in here and the contrast with the medieval look and then you've got shops. people are often surprised, but, don't forget, there were pilgrims coming her. yeah. and they needed to be housed for one or two nights. so there's been inns and souvenir shops, even, for hundreds of years. yeah. of course, they were a religious kind of souvenirs — medals, you know, rosaries, these kinds of things. so what's it like taking tourists around here, then? well, it depends on the time of the of the year, really. it can be a very nice, peaceful time, you know? but i tend to like less and less working here in the middle of summer.
6:42 am
because? why's that? because there's too many people. but it's beautiful, of course. a new governing body recently took over the running of mont saint—michel with plans to improve the tourist experience. viking helmets, crossbows, the eiffel tower. you see? they're encouraging people to visit off season and steering them away from the souvenir stores towards more of the surrounding area. but accessibility is still a bit of a problem. it's so steep and so slippery that even this electric attachment is struggling to get up there. so my strategy is to get as much speed as possible up that hill, and as soon as i start slowing down a bit, i'll be like, "solwenn, save me!" 0n yva? she replies in french excusez—moi. attention. attention!
6:43 am
coming through. solwenn! 0ui. we got it. come on! she pants the islands governing body told us that making any changes to this protected historic site is difficult. but they they're hoping to find a solution within the next few years. 0nly around 30 people live here on mont saint—michel. bonjour! bonjour, ade. ca va? ines and jean are two of them. their home has been injean's family since before the 17th century and is full of trinkets and antiques. tell me about this.
6:44 am
in french: this is your house? 0ui. and what is it like to live in this place day to day? up in the abbey, the bell is rung for evening prayer. the abbey is home to a small number of monks and nuns. members of the monastic fraternities ofjerusalem. some of them spend their mornings down in the village tending to their guesthouse or working part—timejobs to help cover the order�*s expenses.
6:45 am
yes. it's really a unique place. and, you know, also, we are here to say that this place has been made first for god and for worship. would you just like it just to be purely holy? no, that's... you know, that's the way it is. you cannot change the reality. when we come here in mont saint—michel, we know that there is going to be a lot of noise during the services, that some groups are going to walk during the mass or whatever, but we are here for them also. back outside, i've taken to my crutches. these are the last steps, ade. are you sure? yes. they are the last steps. is the champagne up here for me? and now we have to go down?!
6:46 am
and now we have to go down. ha! oh, my days. that view is pretty amazing. and look at this. wow. look at the... there's the shadow of mont saint—michel on the sand. oh, yeah. that's the best time of the day. when i come to this place, in particular, the north tower, as we call it, for me, it sums it all up. i often compare the mont saint—michel as being the jewel and the bay, the box. so that's the jewel in the box. you've got it all. nice. and that image has been there for 1,000 years. yeah. and if you're thinking of coming to france this year, here's some things to look out for. the loire valley is among the best places to see classic france — vineyards, medieval towns and more than 300 chateau.
6:47 am
the city of blois is the best jumping off point for the wider region and is itself home to two of the most popular castles, including the chateau de chambord, a 16th century masterpiece that many think leonardo da vinci had a hand in designing. in the summer months, you can head for nantes in brittany, which every year, hosts a huge citywide art trail. it's 30 stages, taking the big attractions at the jules verne—inspired machines de l'ile theme park. you have to pay to ride the great elephant — or sea world carousel. but many other sites on the route are free. the beach town of boulogne is home to europe's biggest aquarium. and its vast. there are about 1,600 species at nausicaa and the main tank's so big it takes about six weeks to fill. there are rotating exhibitions.
6:48 am
right now, augmented reality allows you to experience what life is like for creatures in the open seas. still to come on today's show — the canadian port that likes to blow its own horn. horns honking and the big bear hugs that could help save a famous marsupial from extinction. that's quite the noise! well, that noise is — you're close enough. so stick with us for that. i'm in mont saint—michel, in northern france, where an unlikely dish has become something of a tourist attraction. i'm getting into the beat here! the mere de poulard omelette has been served here
6:49 am
since the 19th century, when the owners were in need of a quick and easy recipe to serve to the island's many visitors. since then, it's become a strange staple of the french election cycle. if a presidential candidate visits mont saint—michel and doesn't eat the omelette, superstition says they're doomed to failure. and some people might say that you have to be pretty important just to afford it because prices start at 32 euro just for an omelette! you do get entertained, though. whisk taps beat the moment of truth. time to see if this lives up to all the hype. i like it. really light and fluffy. i'm feeling presidential already. to canada next, and a gem from our archives. 0n the country's east coast lies the seaport town of stjohn's, capital
6:50 am
of the province of newfoundland and labrador. its little harbour may look like many others around the world, but listen a bit harder and you'll soon spot what sets it apart. honking horns honk woo! it's a symphony in the harbour. that means we're not playing violins. we're not playing bases or banjos or guitars. # yo—yo—yo—yo—yo! # meep, meep, meep, meep! # we're playing wind instruments and the ships' whistles. # meep! meep, meep, meep! # meep, meep, meep! # meep, meep, meep! # beep, beep, beep! or something like this, you know? i go from ship to ship and ask the officers
6:51 am
if we could use their horn for the day or for that particular time. and most of them are happy to participate because it's something different from the mundane tootling the horns. bells ring this is a time score. and the way this works — the coastguard will give the countdown over channel 11. that's the ship—to—shore radio here. and there's two people. you have a time—taker who reads out the time, the seconds, loud, and the other person follows the score. i am very keen on experimental and weird music. and so, when asked to compose a piece of music for five to ten freighters, i easily jumped at the chance. i had no idea what it was going to sound like. basically, we're given a graphic score where we can kind of basically like, fill in dots, so to speak, that indicate when somebody is supposed to honk their horn. 41, 42, 43... quite often, you can hear a harmony which is actually not
6:52 am
intended butjust happens to come out like this sometimes. it's absolutely beautiful. one, two, three, four... horn blares ..five, six, seven. horns honking continues sheila was doing the horn today. i herfirst time. and she started out, "ok, i got to get this right, i "i got to do this right." and after a while, i she got into it and got into the ad—lib, improvised spirit of the thing. - and you could almost see her... her body language was going to the music. i and i thought, "ok, this is fantastic." i 59, 60!
6:53 am
yes! laughter good job. whoa! i didn't get quite the melodic structure i was hoping to get. but it was a beautiful... beautiful to hear anyway. wen. as— interesting, i guess. it puts a little bit- of a twist in your lunch hour, for sure. so, other than that, - i think it's pretty interesting and comical, i guess. i don't know what else more to make of it, really. - he laughs horns honk people think we're crazy. of course we're crazy! well, actually, no, that's what art is all about. if beethoven had been in stjohn's or if he'd been here today, he probably... certainly would've written our symphony. right, we're off to australia next, and to a sanctuary that might well end up saving a whole species from extinction, and not just any species. we're talking tasmanian devils,
6:54 am
a creature made famous by popular culture but which faces a really bleak future if we're not careful. we sent jacqui wakefield to see some of their work a few hours north of sydney. jacqui: this is a whole other world from the arid plains many people think of as rural australia. barrington tops national park, about five hours' drive north of sydney, is all about greenery, lush rainforests and wildlife everywhere. the bush here is full of animals like koalas, wallabies and kangaroos. but there's one animal that's been newly introduced, and it could help save the species from extinction. devil growls it's hoped these hills will provide a safe haven

for the tasmanian devil, whose populations are being ravaged over on their home island, tasmania. 90% have been wiped out by a highly infectious disease that causes facial tumours and eventually death. but this sanctuary is at the centre of efforts to save it. hey, guys, thanks for coming out. welcome to aussie ark. now, we have a couple of special little animals for you guys to have a look at today. we've got sandra dee here, and we also have pickles. so far, aussie ark has had seven breeding seasons with a total of around 300 baby devils, orjoeys. i think shejust likes moving around. she'sjust investigating. so, devils have a very, very good sense of smell. so you can see her nostrils going. she's sniffing around because we all smell all new. it's all new people, all new smells. look at all her whiskers! they admit here that inviting visitors in was something
6:56 am
of an afterthought. but kel reckons it's now an important part of the conservation effort. to have a sweet deviljoey that you can cuddle and interact with absolutely changes people's perception. because they're sweet and they have personalities and they're inquisitive, and that's really important. no—one is going to want to protect and look after something that they're scared of or don't understand or see asjust really aggressive. and why save the tassie devil? so, australia actually has the highest rate of extinction of mammals compared to the rest of the world. one of the more recent animals to go extinct was the tasmanian tiger, leaving the tassie devil the biggest marsupial predator in australia. the joeys aren't set loose into the wild of the sanctuary until they've done some growing. each animal considered for release is selected for its genes. they're making sure the population's genetically diverse enough to be self—sustaining. and before this one, called wedge, goes, there's a thorough health check.
6:57 am
people would expect this devil now to bejumping out and grabbing onto your throat. yeah. look at it. we just get a little grumble. devil growls she laughs that's quite the noise. well, that noise is "you're close enough". she laughs that's enough, folks. come on, mate. 0k. he's in. watch your legs. please grab it and twist. can you give a reading, please? of course. 11.15. woo! is that a big boy? that's about as big as you
6:58 am
would expect a male to get. yeah. wow, what a boy! 0ut he comes. 0k, and he's heavy for kel. all right. so come in... even while he's wiggling. just down low here. watch for him to swing, 0k? sure. tim gives him the once—over while i administer the anti—tick medication. that's it. just going to swing. ok, i'm already having a look over and around. so fingers and toes — all good this side. he's a big boy, so he's been dominating the yard where he is. yeah. ok, so we're going to drive into the middle of a fenced sanctuary, which essentially for these devils now is being released to the wild. people, particularly those that don't live in australia, can't understand the concept of our invasive species and predators. like, we've had introduced to australia fox, cat and buffan and pig, and rats and mice. we didn't have any of these things. so what we have to do is create islands of habitat that are invasive pest free — invasive species free. this is us. we're taking two devils out with us. miss figg, a female, and wedge, the big strapping male
6:59 am
at the health check. they'll have an area of about 4.5 square kilometres to call their home. effectively for them, that feels like living in the wild. we've got a great vista. they'll take off, probably follow the road. long—term... yeah. ..what�*s the hope? the long—term hope is that devils in tasmania survive in the wild, and that they function in their ecological role. and secondarily, that we have devils back in eastern australia, on mainland. so he'lljust kind of think about it for now? well, sometimes they're not even facing the right way. he is. yeah, he's thinking about it. all right, we'll give him some time. here he comes. come on, mate. 0h! see how quiet he is? yeah! look, really shy, really timid. hello. ah—ah! good boy! how goods that? he's kind of having a bit of a think. yeah, amazing! it's great, right? for now, let's just hope these two are warm tonight and that this one has joeys
7:00 am
in three months and the male has represented his genetics. so, you know... ? and that's the nature of conservation. it's really complex. yeah. but we can at leastjust have some simple fun knowing that, after a decade, we've got to a point that we can let some devils go into this island of habitat. amazing. ade: jacqui wakefield, miss figg, and wedge in barrington tops national park. right, that's it for this week. coming up next time... ..carmen's in the philippines, diving into life on the island of siargao and seeing for herself the recovery one year after super typhoon 0dette swept through the tropical paradise. so, were you here during odette? typhoon odette? i was here during odette. er, probably the worst experience of my life. wind blasts and don't forget, you can catch up with all our adventures on social media.
7:01 am
but for now, i'm off to get warm. because it's freezing! bye— bye! good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and ben thompson. our headlines today: president putin has visited the devastated ukrainian city of mariupol, the first time he's entered the country since the russian invasion. donald trump's lawyers play down
7:02 am
claims from the former president that he expects to be arrested on criminal charges next week the sound the government says could save your life. emergency warning messages will be sent by the government to people's mobile phones across the uk to test a new alert system. ireland secured an historic grand slam title in dublin. a convincing 13—point victory over england saw them win the six nations in front of a huge home crowd on st patrick's weekend. you may have been dodging the showers yesterday but today looks drier and brighterfor many showers yesterday but today looks drier and brighter for many with sunny spells. the full forecast throughout the morning. it's sunday 19th march. our main story: russian state media is reporting that vladimir putin has
7:03 am
visited the devastated ukrainian city of mariupol, which was seized by russian troops last may. that is according to russian state media. the tass news agency says he travelled there by helicopter, and drove around the city talking to residents. it is the first time he has been in ukraine since the invasion last year. our diplomatic correspondent james landalejoins us now from kyiv. how significant a moment as this? clearly vladimir putin is on call. yesterday he was in the crimea, obviously occupied as part of ukraine and today as you say in mariupol. it is significant simply because mariupol was such a symbol of early ukrainian resistance and early russian advance. back in the early russian advance. back in the early stages of the war you may remember this was the place that the
7:04 am
city was besieged for three months. this was where all of those defenders held out for so long at the apostolic steel plant, we remember seeing those extraordinary images of the humanitarian crisis within the city. it is also the city where we had early allegations of russian war crimes. remember this was where a maternity hospital was originally bombed by russian forces and also a theatre where civilians were sheltering, many of them trapped underground and killed. the numbers are still unknown just how many died there. so this is a city that holds huge residence for both sides and this war and i think it is a clear attempt by vladimir putin only days after an international court declared him to be an alleged war criminal that he is paying a visit true areas occupied by russian forces, seemingly for the first time since this invasion. —— visiting

7:06 am
progress, wanting to show some degree of normality returning to the city. there are also images of the president driving himself around. this is something he does quite a lot, likes to show he is in control so yesterday we saw him driving to his various visits in crimea and these images also seem to show him doing the same, driving around mariupol and visiting areas. we know according to the kremlin use service that he also visited as well as the theatre what they described as a yacht club, how much shopping is taking place in the sea of as of right now i think remains to be seen. —— see of my trip. and that is the report that bradley _ of my trip. and that is the report that bradley putin _ of my trip. and that is the report that bradley putin has _ of my trip. and that is the report that bradley putin has been i of my trip. and that is the report i that bradley putin has been visiting the devastated city of mariupol, more detailed comment. lawyers for donald trump say
7:07 am
the former president was merely speculating, when he said he expected to be arrested on criminal charges next week. prosecutors have been investigating alleged hush money payments made on mr trump's behalf, prior to the 2016 presidential election. if he is indicted, it would be the first criminal case to be brought against a former us president. as david willis reports. in order to make america great and glorious again, i am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the united states. applause four months after he announced a third run for president, donald trump could make history for a rather different reason. responding to speculation in the american media, he took to his own platform, truth social, to level a capslock chorus of accusation against the manhattan district attorney, whose office, mr trump believes, has been leaking news of his imminent arrest. central to a long—running investigation undertaken by the da's office is the porn star known as stormy daniels.
7:08 am
prosecutors have been looking into whether mr trump made illegal payments in order to buy her silence before the 2017 presidential election, following a brief affair. that, he denies, but it is the final five words of that social media posting that have proved particularly disconcerting to some. "protest," he writes. "take our nation back." a message chillingly similar to one he delivered shortly before the uprising at the us capitol building on 6january, 2021, which saw a violent mob of trump supporters lay siege to the seat of government. senior republicans have rallied to mr trump's defence. on twitter, the house speaker kevin mccarthy said arresting the former president would amount to what he called an outrageous abuse of power. but his democratic opponent nancy pelosi branded mr trump's social media message reckless, saying its aim was to keep himself in the news and ferment unrest amongst his supporters.
7:09 am
for voters in mr trump's home state of florida, the tune is familiar, and opinion remains sharply divided. this is just beyond ridiculous at this point. you can keep going after him and the outcomes are all going to be the same, and it is only going to incite more people to come out and support. he has committed so many crimes and nobody has prosecuted him enough yet. i will look forward to seeing justice be done. mr trump's legal team say they have received no indication of their client's impending arrest, but he is facing legal battles on a number of other fronts as well. america 45th president could become the first one ever to be charged with a crime. the uk's agreement with rwanda about sending illegal migrants there has been updated, so that it covers more people.
7:10 am
on a visit to the country's capital, kigali, the home secretary said the deal has been strengthened. yesterday, suella braverman was given a tour of potential migrant housing. borisjohnson will publish evidence in his defence, before facing questions from mps over whether he misled parliament about the party gate scandal. a televised hearing in front of cross—party mps will take place on wednesday. earlier this month, the committee said mrjohnson may have misled parliament multiple times, allegations which he denies. the three candidates vying for the leadership of the snp have pledged to reform its operations, after the resignation of its chief executive. peter murrell, who's married to the outgoing leader, nicola sturgeon, said he was taking responsibility for misleading the media about membership figures. our scotland editor, james cook, reports. it's a partnership forged
7:11 am
in politics, nicola sturgeon and peter murrell met through the snp and went on to dominate it, but the decision to quit along with the police investigation into party finances has piled the pressure on him. the final straw — a row over the snp's untruthful claim its membership was stable when in fact it had plummeted by 30,000 in just over a year. in a statement, mr murrell said: all three candidates fighting that campaign have voiced concerns about the state of their party. decisions within the snp have been taken by too few people, and i think that is well recognised across the political domain. and snp members want to know that our institution is democratic,
7:12 am
that they can influence it, they can shape policy. i think there has been a feeling they are disempowered from the process. we need internal reform of headquarters and it should be a priority for whoever is the next leader. if it is me, within the first week, i will make sure to get the work under way to look at that internal reform of hq, which is absolutely necessary. the third candidate, ash reagan, has been murrell's harshest critic, saying that democratic foundations of the party are now reasserting themselves. an era ending for the power couple. peter murrell played a key role in building their slick, professional, election—winning machine, but now, say his opponents, the wheels have come off. which means one member of this trio will face huge challenges, repairing public services, reviving the stalled campaign for independence, and uniting a divided party. james cook, bbc news, glasgow.

we are nowjoined by bbc scotland reporter catriona renton from glasgow. catriona, where does this leave the party? talk to us about how significant this is. as jamesjust this is. as james just said, this is. as jamesjust said, with huge challenges, the as james just said, with huge challenges, the latest blow in what has been a turbulent few weeks for the snp as you heard their — peter murrell, a key player behind the scenes credited with building the huge electoral success of the snp but since his wife nicola sturgeon announced her resignation we have seen better splits within the party. a reason often cited for the smb's success in scotland has been a party discipline and we have seen that splinter over the past few weeks. we have seen a host of figures following nicola sturgeon leaving big jobs in the scottish government and party, or both, and there is a changing of the guard, surely at the top. 0ne changing of the guard, surely at the top. one week on monday but will
7:14 am
have a new leader. all candidates are fighting in their new campaign, voicing concerns about the state of their party, promising reform. they have challenges ahead of course, preparing public services but the question of the stalling progress of independence will be something on their minds, and of course reuniting their minds, and of course reuniting the party. let's not forget that the snp is the biggest party at holyrood and whoever wins the selection one week on monday will want to get a grip very quickly so as not to give anything away to the opponents. the uk has sent a search and rescue team as well as medical staff to malawi, in the aftermath of cyclone freddy. their support will provide emergency shelter and give access to safe drinking water. more than 400 people have been killed and thousands of homes destroyed in one of the worst storms to ever hit southern africa. emergency alerts will be sent to people's mobile phones next
7:15 am
month to test a new public warning system. it allows the government and emergency services to send urgent messages warning of life—threatening situations like flooding or wildfires. helena wilkinson has the details. this is an example released by the government of an emergency alert. a loud siren—like sound will go off, even if the phone is on silent. the message will also appear on the screen to explain the nature of the threat and what to do about it. the new government system will be tested across the uk on sunday 23 april. the system is designed to warn people if there is a life—threatening emergency near them. they will be used at times of extreme weather like severe flooding, though they could eventually be expanded
7:16 am
to cover terror incidents. alerts will be sent to devices based on their location. the cabinet office says it will only be needed when there is an immediate risk to life, so after next month it may be years before people receive another alert. though, there will be the possibility of opting out of future warnings. helena wilkinson, bbc news. it has just it hasjust gone it has just gone 7:15am. simon it hasjust gone 7:15am. simon is here will look at the morning's weather. and do you know what? tomorrow is the spring equinox. what and do you know what? tomorrow is the spring equinox.— the spring equinox. what does that mean? it means _ the spring equinox. what does that mean? it means the _ the spring equinox. what does that mean? it means the sun _ the spring equinox. what does that mean? it means the sun passes i the spring equinox. what does that| mean? it means the sun passes the euuator, mean? it means the sun passes the equator. so — mean? it means the sun passes the equator. so it— mean? it means the sun passes the equator, so it goes _ mean? it means the sun passes the equator, so it goes from _ mean? it means the sun passes the equator, so it goes from the - equator, so it goes from the southern hemisphere into the northern hemisphere, and now basically means, here is a little statistic, daytime is longer than nighttime. 50 statistic, daytime is longer than niuhttime. ., , nighttime. so we have officially one nighttime. so we have officially gone from _ nighttime. so we have officially gone from the _ nighttime. so we have officially gone from the winter _ nighttime. so we have officially gone from the winter half i nighttime. so we have officially gone from the winter half of i nighttime. so we have officially| gone from the winter half of the year to the summer half? yes. your

7:18 am
risk of one or two showers towards central and eastern areas, but mostly staying dry. northern ireland, you can see here the cloud increasing, rain spreading in, rain also around the western isles of scotland, elsewhere across scotland, some sunny spells this afternoon for mothering sunday, with temperatures of about 10— 13 celsius, slightly cooler compared to yesterday, but above average for this time of year. feeling pleasant enough sunshine. tonight we see this rain moving its way east, quite heavy rain, you will notice that, across northern parts of england and northern wales into tonight. temperatures remaining around 7—8, maybe 11 degrees in northern ireland tonight. still pretty mild to start off your monday morning, which will be fairly wet across these northern areas. that rain spreads north and east, with some heavy rain for a time over scotland and northern ireland. spreading into the south—west later, but for most mondays looking like a drier day with sunny spells and temperatures creeping up again, we could see 15 or maybe even 16 celsius. forthe could see 15 or maybe even 16 celsius. for the rest of the week it
7:19 am
remains fairly unsettled. a big area of low pressure situated towards the west, but will continue to bring some weather systems across the uk over the next few days. tuesday, lose one area of rain towards northern and eastern areas, then that will be replaced by a mixture of sunny spells and showers. some of those showers could be on the heavy side and perhaps the odd rumble of thunder as well. when you get sunny spells it will feel quite pleasant, very springlike. 15, maybe even 16 degrees. into wednesday, thursday and friday, low pressure still there. you can see these weather fronts moving east. fairly posterior times as we get to the end of the week and a hint of some snow in the far north of scotland for the end of the week. so slightly colder, coming in there stop for most of this week, lots of rainy symbols on the graphics, quite blustery conditions, but temperatures about 11— 14 celsius. that is just above average for this time of year. so when you
7:20 am
get some sunshine that will feel quite springlike. that is ahead of the equinox tomorrow. psychologically, that is a big shift, isn't it? right into the summer. shift, isn't it? right into the summer-— shift, isn't it? right into the summer. , ., ., summer. just hearing the word s-urin. summer. just hearing the word spring- exactly- _ untreated sewage finding its way into river water is a real problem across much of the uk, but anglers in the south—east of england, are particularly concerned. they've described test results from the river grom as shocking, after discovering the water there contains e coli bacteria. as yvette austin reports. sampling the water again on the river grom. the anglers are trying to build up a picture of what is happening here, working with the landowner, an organic farmer. so tare landowner, an organic farmer. so we are walking — landowner, an organic farmer. so we are walking down _ landowner, an organic farmer. so we are walking down now _ landowner, an organic farmer. so we are walking down now towards i [aridowflen an organic farmer. if we are walking down now towards what [aridowflen an organic farmer. 5r we are walking down now towards what is are walking down now towards what is a sewer outlet. we often see pieces of tissue, small amounts of faeces, and even tampons. fin

7:22 am
the one from the outlet itself, still showing heavy contamination, and even, shockingly, downstream, there is still heavy contamination. so what this shows is that the sewage works is discharging untreated human sewage into the river. ., , a, river. the anglers pointed the finer river. the anglers pointed the fin . er at river. the anglers pointed the finger at southern _ river. the anglers pointed the finger at southern water's - river. the anglers pointed the - finger at southern water's tunbridge south wastewater treatment plants. in 2021 it's discharged sewage 135 times into the grom across more than 1100 hours. on average, that is more than three hours every day of the year. a short distance upstream, wastewater pumping station discharged 38 times across more than 420 hours, an average of more than one hour per day. being a fisherman, i have been quite sick three times in the last two years, through fishing. in the last two years, through fishinu. ., , , fishing. you sit there, fishing awa , fishing. you sit there, fishing away. you — fishing. you sit there, fishing away. you just _ fishing. you sit there, fishing away, you just get _ fishing. you sit there, fishing away, you just get the - fishing. you sit there, fishing away, you just get the smell| fishing. you sit there, fishing i away, you just get the smell of sewage. and then you realise you are sitting in what is affect the open

7:24 am
water, i really not doing enough. we have uk legislation which dictates that sewage overflow should only be opening in really exceptional periods of heavy rainfall, and we saw last year 372,000 instances where we saw sewage discharge over the country. how can that be exceptional. it was discharging for nearly 3 million hours. there is something not right there. the fact they are investing £2 billion over they are investing £2 billion over the next five years isn't good enough. we know collectively, what a last year gave out £1 billion to their shareholders, seemingly rewarding their great performance, but performing very poorly environmentally. we need them to take responsibility for this and do more. , ., _, , more. izzy, the water companies themselves _ more. izzy, the water companies themselves would _ more. izzy, the water companies themselves would say _ more. izzy, the water companies themselves would say it - more. izzy, the water companies themselves would say it takes i more. izzy, the water companies themselves would say it takes a | more. izzy, the water companies - themselves would say it takes a long time to build that infrastructure, to get it up to scratch. there have been decades of underinvestment.

7:26 am
it feels like there is recognition from the government that there is not good enough standards. we have a statement from defra they have brought in comprehensive monitoring and strict targets in water companies, the strictest ever, it means £56 billion will be invested over 25 years. they say the secretary of state has also demanded an action plan, but as ben said, this will take time. do you think this will take time. do you think this is a clear line that has been drawn by the government? that the bar is higher now? or do you feel you've heard all this before? we have had you've heard all this before? , have had quite a lot of this before, we have seen action plans before. what we want to see now is legally binding targets and the action from the water companies and the regulators and government. they are all responsible for solving this issue. in terms of monitoring, if we are talking about our rivers, they
7:27 am
go largely unmonitored and it is not just what is coming out of the sewage overflow pipes. as we saw before, we need things like e coli testing to be able to see the true picture of the damage that the sewage overflows can do to human health, and also the health of the animals of marine life that lives in them. but at the moment we have seen very little monitoring of our rivers. , , w' , .,, very little monitoring of our rivers. , rivers. just quickly, as somebody who uses open — rivers. just quickly, as somebody who uses open water— rivers. just quickly, as somebody who uses open water in - rivers. just quickly, as somebody who uses open water in the - rivers. just quickly, as somebody who uses open water in the uk . rivers. just quickly, as somebody l who uses open water in the uk and would like to use more of it, how much of a difference does it make when you walk into a stretch of water and feel confident that it is clean? fix, water and feel confident that it is clean? �* ., ., ~ water and feel confident that it is clean? ., ., ~ ., , clean? a huge amount. like many --eole clean? a huge amount. like many people around _ clean? a huge amount. like many people around the _ clean? a huge amount. like many people around the country, - clean? a huge amount. like many people around the country, i - clean? a huge amount. like many people around the country, i love | people around the country, i love our blue spaces, inland and on the coast. we all benefit massively. our mental health is improved when we go down to these spaces, and it shouldn't be taken away from us. people need to know that the water is clean when they enter it. last year we saw 720 cases of people

submitting sickness reports to us, saying that when they went into the water they got really sick. some cases were off for ten days of work, some cases were hospitalised and had things like kidney failure. you shouldn't have these problems when you enter the water. people should be able to enjoy it.— be able to en'oy it. thank you, i . be able to en'oy it. thank you, izzy. maybe _ be able to enjoy it. thank you, izzy. maybe something - be able to enjoy it. thank you, izzy. maybe something not - be able to enjoy it. thank you, - izzy. maybe something not everybody is aware of. that was izzy frost from surface against sewage. 14% of england's rivers being classified as good, that was an eye—opener for me. 7:28am. a charity that specialises in helping british muslims with financial problems as it has been overwhelmed with people needing assistance. they say they are receiving up to 2000 applications a month a crisis grounds. that is double the figure it was getting last year. michael buchanan reports. for a few hours a day, 2—year—old ali has his house and mother to himself, before his four siblings return from school.
7:29 am
berlin is separated from the children's father, the family live off of £236 a week. it's not enough and she has built up large debt trying to raise children alone. they don't understand, they will ask me everything, "can you buy this? "can you buy that?" they have to ask me for something, they want it. sometimes i say, "tomorrow, we will do tomorrow," and they forget sometimes. muslim communities in britain are disoroportionally poorer than the rest of the country. poverty levels particularly high among people of bangladeshi, pakistani and black african heritage. this charity distributes zakat — money donated by muslims to help fellow muslims in need. demand for its hardship fund is greater than ever, some months they are seeing over 2000 applications. zakat especially has always been seen in the muslim psyche, in britain certainly, it's for people who are homeless, foodless, in some far—off land, and just to overcome that,
7:30 am
tell people, "it's ok, the community is here for you. "zakat is yours as well." that's difficult for us. we're seeing a record number of people accessing support. at the east london mosque, what started as a response to the pandemic has become an ongoing lifeline. a lot of our families, they're living in very overcrowded housing situations. it's a community that has always been an poverty, that has really struggled with employment, and it doesn't really help — the fact that things are really expensive. fatima is grieving the loss of her daughter. living with nine other people is adding to her stress. translation: it would've been really tough for my son to support _ the family without the help from the foodbank, so this assistance helps me a lot. for this woman, her rent is the big
7:31 am
problem, it's increased by £200 to £1500 per month. translation: l have two children | who i need to feed but i can't work. it's so cold and chilly out there and i have no alternative but to come here. there's a huge stigma in muslim communities around asking for help from charities. but when the bills are rising this rapidly, faith and family can only go so far. michael buchanan, bbc news. the bbc young reporter competition is an opportunity for budding journalists to bring under—reported stories to the bbc by sharing their unique and personal experiences. it's currently open to entries until the end of the month. one person who's shared their story is 19—year—old jessica who was diagnosed with selective mutism as a child and is now working to help others like her.
7:32 am
hello, my name isjessica and i want to tell you all about inaudible. when i was four years old i was really shy and unable to talk to people i didn't know because although i knew what to say ijust couldn't say it. now as time has gone on we know that it was selective mutism. that meant that i could communicate in some situations but couldn't communicate and others. at home i was typical, cheeky, happy but when i stepped outside it was medication with my mother and that was it. jessica was really quite shy, at home she was chatty. she would talk to me quite a lot but with other people she wouldn't talk. i could, you know, talk for her sometimes, i know you aren't supposed to.

7:36 am
of their four grand slams, the victory was achieved in dublin. a tight first half actually had england in the lead for a long spell, but ireland's first try gave them a slender advantage. player of the match dan sheehan touching down. then a crucial moment just before the break. freddy steward was sent off for this dangerous tackle. england were down to 14 men and ireland took full advantage. three more tries sealed the victory in fly halfjonny sexton's final six nations match before he retires after the world cup later this year. couldn't make it up. honestly, you couldn't make it up. it is like living in a dream, actually worried we are going to wake up in the morning! look, we didn't play our best, but, what a team. what a team. what a group of coaches, prepared us so well. we did nothing but they told us, we did the exact opposite, we made things hard for ourselves.
7:37 am
but, look, england are top class team, and to come here and get a wind on saint patrick's weekend, it is unbelievable. what a day. unbelievable. scotland head coach gregor townsend said it had been an eventful six nations after his side secured third spot with a 26—14 win over italy. blair kinghorn scored a hat—trick and clinched a dramatic bonus point win after running the length of the field. scotland also beat england and wales in the tournament, and their defeats to france and ireland were tight, so all in all, it's been a promising six nations for scotland. it has been an eventful one! i think it started with such a high when at twickenham, and then we came from behind to score a try max, really good team try make me the end of the game, that was brilliant, to fold the with a record wind against wales was the best we can imagine. the last two weeks, maybe not as good overall. you get that in sport.
7:38 am
we're just glad we with a wind. —— finished with a win. as for wales, they'll be reflecting on a poor tournament after their defeat to france who finished second in the table. with just six months to go until the rugby world cup, wales' head coach warren gatland said they had a lot of work to do. they finish fifth with just one win. there was an astonishing outburst from the tottenham manager after they could only manage a draw against bottom of the table southampton. antonio conte said his spurs players were selfish, the owners hadn't won anything in 20 years and the team performance was unnaceptable. we'll hearfrom him in a moment. on the pitch, southampton were 3—1 down with 13 minutes to go and fought back to draw 3—3 at st mary's. james ward prowse with a stoppage time equaliser from the penalty spot. southampton are two points from safety. but tottenham missed the chance to go third in the premier league, which brought this extraordinary reaction from conte.
7:39 am
for another time, it will show that we are not a team. we are 11 players that go into the pitch, and i see selfish players, i see players that don't want to help each other, don't put their heart. the club paid us a lot of money. the players receive money. me, receives money. you understand? not to be, to find an excuse, don't have spirit or don't show the sense of belonging. don't show the sense of belonging. don't show a sense of responsibility. because we are showing this, but for me, this is unacceptable. in the scottish premiership, it was victory for both celtic and rangers to keep the gap between the two at nine points. celtic came from behind to win 3—1 against ten man hibernian. while rangers did the same to beat motherwell 4—2. malik tillman's goal sealing the three points. it came after rangers fans protested
7:40 am
against a section of their board ahead of kick—off at fir park. how many goals will erling haaland end up with this season? he scored yet another hat—trick last night as manchester city beat burnley 6—0 to move into the semi—finals of the fa cup. it was his eighth goal in the past two games, his sixth hat—trick of the season, leaving him on 42 for the season — "bonkers" according to alan shearer on match of the day. it was a difficult return to the club though for burnley manager vincent kompany, the former manchester city captain, who received a warm welcome. i played against the greats of this time, you know, messi, all of these guys, you know, cristiano ronaldo, you know. in the end they are part of a very, very special elite because i don't think — i think even the very best find it difficult to stop those guys, no matter what you say, if you so you will stop them, they find a way. they will keep running away.
7:41 am
the three remaining fa cup quarterfinal fixtures are today — can grimsby do it again? a giant—killing in the last round against southampton, and now they go to high—flying premier league side brighton. sheffield united and blackburn get under way at midday, and manchester united host fulham later. there's also the potential for another giant—killing in the women's fa cup as championship side lewes host manchester united, who are second in the super league. lewes is the lowest—ranked team left in the competition, they are not—for—profit and they became the first club to pay their male and female players equally back in 2017. it is not just it is notjust a club you play for, you know when you are here. i hope the fans and everyone else feels the same. it is hard. when you are here, you are in it. you are family, you are a community, you are an ecosystem. and everything you do,
7:42 am
you stand for. and you mean. so, yeah, playing for lewis is notjust a club, lewis stands for so much more, and i amjust a club, lewis stands for so much more, and i am just proud to be part of it. lewis hamilton says he's at a bit of loss with this year's mercedes car, after only qualifiying eighth fastest at the saudi arabian grand prix — four places behind his team—mate george russell. hamilton said, "i just don't feel connected to this car." meanwhile, max verstappen admits a win will be tricky after his red bull broke down in qualifying, meaning he'll start from 15th this evening. his team—mate sergio perez took the top spot and aston martin's fernando alonso will start on the front row, thanks to a penalty demoting ferrari's charles leclerc to twelfth. russell was promoted to third on the grid. max is the biggest question, charles is welcome how he will come through the field. but is welcome how he will come through the field. �* , , ., the field. but definitely, why not? why shouldn't _ the field. but definitely, why not? why shouldn't we _ the field. but definitely, why not? why shouldn't we be _ the field. but definitely, why not? why shouldn't we be aiming - the field. but definitely, why not? why shouldn't we be aiming for i the field. but definitely, why not? why shouldn't we be aiming for a | why shouldn't we be aiming for a

podium? the fight for fernando, the two aston martins, that is where we will be fighting. his team at lewis hamilton having some problems, it doesn't look good. when i was about man and machine coming together, don't we, f1. but has he said what he finds so difficult about the car? well, if ou difficult about the car? well, if you remember— difficult about the car? well, if you remember last _ difficult about the car? well, if you remember last year, - difficult about the car? well, if you remember last year, there difficult about the car? well, if- you remember last year, there was a lot of the porpoise income of the bouncing. —— porpoising. i don't think that has completely been solved. itjust doesn't seem to gel together and hamilton is clearly unhappy about the state of the current performance of it. jane, thank you. nice to see you. it is cominu thank you. nice to see you. it is coming up _ thank you. nice to see you. it is coming up to — thank you. nice to see you. it is coming up to 7:45am _ thank you. nice to see you. it 3 coming up to 7:45am stop sign and is in salford for a look at this morning's weather. good morning, everybody. a lovely start to the day, clear blue skies in northumberland already. gaining about four orfive in northumberland already. gaining about four or five minutes of daylight per day of moment, that is ahead of the spring knox, which is
7:44 am
tomorrow. here is an idea of the sunrise and sunset times today. you will notice that the day length is already longer than the night. spring isjust around already longer than the night. spring is just around the corner. for many of us today, we have got some spring sunshine. cloud towards the west, this is an area of low pressure. weather systems in here later today. pressure. weather systems in here latertoday. in pressure. weather systems in here later today. in the meantime, we have the sump in the pressure pattern. this isjust a ridge of high pressure keeping us settled through today. now, one or two showers around this morning, around north wales, northern england and eastern england. those clearing away fairly quickly. the most of england and wales today we are looking at sunny spells. the risk of one or two showers around central and eastern areas, feeling quite pleasant in that spring sunshine. rain moving its way into northern ireland by the end of the day, also pushing its way into the western isles of scotland. elsewhere for scotland, sunny spells, one or two showers in the far north—east. temperatures down a
7:45 am
little bit on yesterday, not feeling quite as warm, but for that sunshine, it should still feel quite pleasant. tonight, this area of rain will continue to move north and east, quite heavy for a time around north wales and northern parts of england, into monday morning. overnight temperatures creeping up a bit after initially dipping down, about 711 degrees as we go into belfast. we have got some rain affecting parts of northern ireland into northern parts of england, that rain spreads into scotland as the day goes on. rain on the far south—west later, maximum temperatures, 13, 14, maybe even 16 degrees. temperatures up a bit, that will feel quite nice when we get some sunny spells. into the middle part of the week, we have got one weather system moving to the east, another one situated to the west, thatis another one situated to the west, that is a theme as we go through this week, low pressure close by that will continue to bring in some of rain. weather some areas of rain on tuesday for the north and east,
7:46 am
replaced by a mixture of sunny spells and showers. some of these showers could be on the heavy side, maybe even a bit boundary as well, top temperatures 15 or 16 degrees in the north—east of england, could be quite pleasant. into wednesday, we will see further outbreaks of rain moving in, blustery conditions through wednesday, thursday, friday, or weather system is moving in, slightly cold air starting to move its way into the far north of scotland, that could mean a little bit of snow later into the week and the weekend. lots of rainy symbols on the graphics, temperatures about 11- 15 on the graphics, temperatures about 11— 15 celsius. that is still above this average for this time of year. onlyjust. when you get some sunny spells, that will feel quite nice. what was your watch telling you to do? it what was your watch telling you to do? . , what was your watch telling you to do? ., ., ., , what was your watch telling you to do? ., ., , what was your watch telling you to do? ., ., ., , , ., do? it was automatically trying to tell me that _ do? it was automatically trying to tell me that it _ do? it was automatically trying to tell me that it is _ do? it was automatically trying to tell me that it is the _ do? it was automatically trying to tell me that it is the spring - tell me that it is the spring equinox today.— tell me that it is the spring eauinox toda . , ,., equinox today. tell us something we don't know! — equinox today. tell us something we don't know! nice _ equinox today. tell us something we don't know! nice try. _ equinox today. tell us something we don't know! nice try. it _ equinox today. tell us something we don't know! nice try. it was - don't know! nice try. it was wondering _ don't know! nice try. it was wondering why _ don't know! nice try. it was wondering why he - don't know! nice try. it was wondering why he had - don't know! nice try. it was! wondering why he had done don't know! nice try. it was i wondering why he had done so don't know! nice try. it was - wondering why he had done so many steps at 7:45 a.m.! thank you, simon.
7:47 am
still to come on breakfast, we will be meeting the firefighter who has been given a bravery award by the late queen. that was after he saved a family from a burning car on a motorway while off duty. look at that! . , , . , . that! incredible pictures. we will seak that! incredible pictures. we will s - eak to that! incredible pictures. we will speak to him _ that! incredible pictures. we will speak to him later. _ time now for all the latest technology news with click. the cars can go from o to 100 in four seconds. they are made of 80,000 parts. the brakes can hit 1000 degrees. this is formula 1.
7:48 am
this year's season is getting under way and it is jam packed full of tech, and it's not just 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?
7:49 am
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 really just 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.
7:50 am
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
7:51 am
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.
7:52 am
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
7:53 am
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,
7:54 am
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.
7:55 am
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.
7:56 am
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?
7:57 am
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.
7:58 am
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.

8:05 am
ukrainian resistance and early russian advance. back in the early stages of the word you might remember this was the place where the city was besieged for three months. this is a city that holds huge resonance for both sides in this war and it is a clear attempt by vladimir putin only days after an international court declared him to be an alleged war criminal that he is paying a visit to areas occupied by russian forces. they seem to show the president during theatre. we think it might be the film on. we don't think it is the theatre where the civilians were sheltered, it is a different location but none of this is confirmed, relying on state media reports from russia at the moment. but clearly the purpose of the visit is presumably to show some of the reconstruction that has taken place since russia has took full
8:06 am
control of the city back in may last year. if that is the case clearly the images the president of russia will want to be showing is a sense of progress, wanting to show potentially some degree of normality, returning to the city. there are also some images of the president driving and around. something he does quite a lot. he likes to show he is controlled. yesterday we saw him driving to his various visits in crimea at these images also seem to show him doing the same, driving around mariupol visiting areas. according to the german news service he also visited dutch kremlin new service, he visited a yacht club. how much of that he is visiting remains to be seen. the uk's agreement with rwanda

it isa it is a part of force in politics. nicola sturgeon and peter merrill met through the snp and went on to dominated. but her decision to quit along with the police investigation into party penances is piled the pressure on him. the final straw was a row over the snp pulls my country full claim that its membership was able when in fact it had plummeted by 30,000 injust able when in fact it had plummeted by 30,000 in just over a year. able when in fact it had plummeted by 30,000 injust over a year. in a statement mr merrill said... all three candidates fighting that campaign have voiced concerns about the state of their party.— the state of their party. decisions on the snp _ the state of their party. decisions on the snp have _ the state of their party. decisions on the snp have been _ the state of their party. decisions on the snp have been taken - the state of their party. decisions on the snp have been taken by i the state of their party. decisions. on the snp have been taken by too few people and i think it is well recognised across the political domain. snp members want to know

household but now we are seeing a changing of the guard. there will be a new leader of the snp a week on monday, with whole route because i blessing will become first minister of scotland and there are challenges ahead, other pressures from mr moral�*s stewardship. an ongoing police investigation into how £600,000 raised by the party for independence company has been spent and then for the new leader there are other questions addressing the stalling progress of independence and how they reunite the party. everything to play for because the snp remains the biggest party in scotland and two of the new leader is will want to get a grip quickly and who has been happening internally within the party so they can repair the cracks and not give anything away to opponents. thank ou. the uk has sent a search and rescue team,

8:13 am
the new government system will be tested across the uk on sunday 23 april. the system is designed to warn people if there is a life—threatening emergency near them. they will be used at times of extreme weather like severe flooding, though they could eventually be expanded to cover terror incidents. alerts will be sent to devices based on their location. the cabinet office says it will only be needed when there is an immediate risk to life, so after next month it may be years before people receive another alert. though, there will be the possibility of opting out of future warnings. helena wilkinson, bbc news. slightly terrifying to get that but

8:28 am
at times she has to treat very traumatic injuries. the first thing you do is put a tourniquet on, and then you try and stop the bleed by packing the wound. this production line in bridgewater has been playing a vital role in helping medics like dr rybinkina save lives. the bandages, made by the firm nonwovenn, are then incorporated into first—aid kits by another british company. we manufacture millions of these, our customer—made trade have sent tens of thousands, that we know of, out to the ukraine already. the secret of their successes down to this tiny shellfish, the shrimp. mariners have known for hundreds of years that shrimp shells are good at stopping bleeding, and the extract from them, known as chitosan, is woven into the company's bandages. i can demonstrate. if ijust dip it into water, it's infused with shrimp extract from shells, and that gradually becomes very sticky to the touch.
8:29 am
ultimately, that forms an artificial clot. the ukrainian military rang nonwovenn shortly after the invasion and began asking for as many bandages as they could make, and the demand continues. so it has been saving lives, you think? it has been saving a lot of lives, thousands of them. we get a lot of feedback from the people who are using them. they send a message saying, you know what? yourfirst—aid kit, it did save lives. someone got there and we used the tourniquet and the celox and the gauze and everything, and the person actually arrived alive at the evacuation point. since i interviewed dr rybinkina, she was involved in a serious road traffic accident on her way back from duties, and is now being treated for a broken arm. but she remains undaunted, and hopes to be back on the front line treating more casualties with these bandages as soon as possible.

a lot of friends have been lost in this war, and the human toll is horrendous. matthew hill, bbc news. (tx next) ait a it has just turned 8:30am. let's talk sport, jane is with us. good morning. we are starting with the fa cup because there are three fixtures today, but one of them, arguably the one we are going to be talking about most is grimsby against brighton and thatis most is grimsby against brighton and that is because there is a potential giant—killing there. now it's a bit of a cliche, but the fa cup really can be magical. we've been talking quite a bit about league two side grimsby town on breakfast because they are the lowest ranked club left in the competition after putting southampton out in the last round. they take on premier league side brighton this afternoon and — if they win — grimsby will get to the semi—finals of the fa cup for the first time in 84 years.
8:31 am

8:35 am
an area, i'm not going to lie, it is an area, i'm not going to lie, it is an area that does need that kind of inspiration and you come down here, we saw them on the pier yesterday, there are kids, young and old, everyone coming together as a community. this is a real celebration and of course bringing harry with them as well, there are 3000 of these that have been sold by the club being waved around everywhere, there is someone the prom here in brighton as well. here in britain as well, they have the dolly vc goal, the inflatable seagulls that will be there as well, so a real celebration, whatever the results, a real celebration of everything this club has achieved and together as a town has achieved. yes, you mention to the seagull inflatable ad as i say we have got on here in the studio. he said about the match and how difficult it is going to be. brighton are seventh in the premier league, they have never once... right, we're not going to get into a fight with the inflatables, that is probably not a good idea! laughter the seagull normally does a tacky
8:36 am
fish, so, you know, just letting you know that now! brighton are seventh in the premier league, they have never won the fa cup to yes, i have been getting looks from the seagulls here as well oh, god, we are being overtaken by inflatables. they have never won the fa cup before, so this is not going to be a walkover, they will be determined to get to the semifinal themselves. will be determined to get to the semifinalthemselves. . will be determined to get to the semifinal themselves. semifinalthemselves. , absolutely, we are under— semifinalthemselves. , absolutely, we are under no _ semifinalthemselves. , absolutely, we are under no illusion. _ semifinalthemselves. , absolutely, we are under no illusion. paul- we are under no illusion. paul hurst, the grimsby town manager the other day said in a press conference that he had been watching the videos of how brighton play and he described it as frightening, he told the players, look, i'm going to show you this video, but it is 18 rated, it is going to scare you, but they have done their homework on it, you've got the likes of alexis mcallister, a world cup winner, the term isjust mcallister, a world cup winner, the term is just sensational, mcallister, a world cup winner, the term isjust sensational, solid march, we know we are basically praying for a miracle, but anything can happen, it is the magic of the fa cup. someone is shouting over
8:37 am
there to me! so that is the atmosphere we have got here. brighton we know are pushing europe, they are going there, but we have no illusion, but 770 brighton fans as well wishing us luck because it's not so long ago brighton were down the leagues, they know what it's like to be queueing for book tickets for a big game around the block, radley football stadium and trying to get tickets to something like this. there is that real appreciation from both sets of fans and that is what is going to create such a party atmosphere today. thank ou so such a party atmosphere today. thank you so much — such a party atmosphere today. thank you so much for— such a party atmosphere today. thank you so much for your _ such a party atmosphere today. thank you so much for your enthusiasm and your analysis and nice to see you wearing the strip as well. and harry the haddock as well. best of luck! now, if grimsby do get to the semi—finals, one of the potential clubs waiting for them is manchester city. and just how would a league two side be able to cope with erling haaland? championship side burnley were the latest to fail on that front, but they're not the only ones — haaland now has 42 goals this season and six hat—tricks. the third in the 6—0 win over burnley was his eighth goal
8:38 am
in the past two games after he scored five in midweek in the champions league. he is just two short of the record held by ruud van nistelrooy and mohamed salah for most goals in a season for an english top—flight club during the premier league era. this year we have a problem in the future. they will expect every game to score three or four goals and this is not going to happen. but i think when this happened for a little bit, i know he doesn't care because he's so positive in his life, so positive, optimistic. he never complains. always looks at himself. and as much as we play good, as much as the team is there, we are going to score goals. there was an astonishing outburst from the tottenham manager after they could only manage a draw against bottom of the table southampton. antonio conte said his spurs players were selfish, the owners hadn't won anything in 20 years and the team
8:39 am
performance was unnaceptable. we'll hearfrom him in a moment. on the pitch, southampton were 3—1 down with 13 minutes to go and fought back to draw 3—3 at st mary's. james ward prowse with a stoppage time equaliser from the penalty spot. southampton are two points from safety. but tottenham missed the chance to go third in the premier league, which brought this extraordinary reaction from conte. they used it here. don't play for a... for something important. yeah? and... they don't play, they don't want to play under pressure. they don't want to play under stress. oh, yeah, it is easy in this way. i talked to them, the story is this. 20 years, there is the owner and they never won something. until now, i tried to hide this situation, but now know situation, but now no because they repeat it.
8:40 am
i don't want to see what i have seen today. because this is unacceptable. might be awkward in training tomorrow. in contrast, the leeds managerjavi gracia said his players are "doing amazing and deserve this reward" after their 4—2 win at wolves. a result that moved them two points clear of the bottom three. rodrigo's late goal sealing the points. sean dyche said everton's mentality is improving as they also earned a valuable point, drawing 2—2 at chelsea to go 15th, also two points clear of the drop—zone. 22—year—old ellis simms scored his first everton goal in the 89th minute to salvage the draw. what a party overnight in dublin! as ireland secured an historic six nations grand slam on st patrick's weekend. they beat england to win the title for a fourth occasion, but it was the first time they had done it in dublin. our sports correspondent, andy swiss, was there. cheering. a day for glory in green.
8:41 am
the grandest of slams for ireland, amid dublin delight. earlier, theirfans arrived with high hopes. england, remember, were thrashed by france last week, and irish optimism was in the air. come on, ireland! an improved england, though, took an early lead via two owen farrell penalties. johnny sexton replied to become the six nations' record points—scorer, but ireland still looked jittery, until the dashing dan sheehan put them ahead. commentator: breaks| the deadlock for ireland! calms the nerves of ireland! and just before the break, england's task was even tougher. freddie steward colliding with hugo keenan. referee: red card. commentator: a huge call! and freddie steward was sent off. harsh? well, to their credit, england clung on, until robbie henshaw eased ireland's nerves, and sheehan's second took them out of sight. soon the party could begin,
8:42 am
as their stunning six nations reached the perfect ending. well, just look what it means to ireland, and to their thousands of fans. a grand slam here in dublin, on a day they'll never forget. it's like living in a dream, actually worried we're going to wake up in the morning! to come here and get a win, on patrick's weekend, it's unbelievable. what a day, unbelievable! and as the world number ones in what is a world cup year, ireland will be hoping this trophy is just the start. andy swiss, bbc news, dublin. scotland head coach gregor townsend said it had been an "eventful" six nations after his side secured third spot with a 26—14 win over italy. blair kinghorn scored a hat—trick and clinched a dramatic bonus point win after running the length of the field. scotland also beat england and wales in the tournament, and their defeats to france and ireland were tight, so townsend said — all in all —
8:43 am
it had been an encouraging tournament. as for wales, they'll be reflecting on a poor tournament after their defeat to france, who finished second in the table. with just six months to go until the rugby world cup, wales' head coach warren gatland said they had a lot of work to do. they finish fifth with just one win. to formula 1. lewis hamilton says he's at a "bit of loss" with this year's mercedes car, after only qualifiying eighth fastest at the saudi arabian grand prix — four places behind his team—mate george russell. hamilton said, "i just don't feel connected to this car." meanwhile, max verstappen admits a win will be "tricky" after his red bull broke down in qualifying, meaning he'll start from 15th this evening. his team mate, sergio perez, took the top spot and aston martin's fernando alonso will start on the front row, thanks to a penalty demoting ferrari's charles leclerc to 12th. russell was promoted to third on the grid.

8:46 am
really awake and alert. ijust love it. clears the brain of any sort of thoughts you don't need. just, like, had a mental, physical reset. swimming is something i've done all of my- life, i absolutely love it. and when i get out of| the water — especially this time of year — i i really feel buzzing. and now researchers from bournemouth university, the university of portsmouth and university hospitals dorset says there is scientific proof. we had participants come down to the lab who are completely naive to cold water swimming, so they weren't exactly pro athletes, they were your average people. we got them in the scanner next to us here, then they hopped out of the scanner, very quickly got into a cold water bath that we had prepared, they were in there for about five minutes and then we got them back out, towel—dried them, back into the scanner. it potentially opens new avenues for us, for potential treatments for some of the mental health disorders that are plaguing us at the moment.
8:47 am
people's anxiety, particularly, really decreasing after cold water immersion. we saw three areas of interest that were particularly clear to us. this represents increased activation and brain connectivity in the amygdala. this is involved in our emotional response, and our emotional responses. we can see that there's increased activation in the frontal cortex here. that is involved in our emotional regulation, our decision—making, and high—level processes. then also, this little blob in the back here — that's our parietal cortex. one of the things that we saw was participants felt more clarity, were more attentive, and we think this has something to do with that. back in the water, and the chilly temperatures are not putting anybody off. i think it's a little bit like having a computer, switching it off and on again. nothing matters when you're in the water. it gives you some sort of buzz, and the colder the water, the bigger the buzz. it's all about sea safety. even in the summer, it's always i
8:48 am
a good idea not to go on your own. it's always a good idea i to swim with other people. # happy birthday to you!# and how's this for a way to spend your birthday? just time to sing happy birthday to pam before a well—deserved hot drink. these swimmers will be back here tomorrow for another dose of vitamin 'sea'. edward sault, bbc news, on the isle of wight. i could get into a bit of wild swimming, if it always looked like this, i think. swimming, if it always looked like this, ithink. oh, look at swimming, if it always looked like this, i think. oh, look at that! swimming, if it always looked like this, ithink. oh, look at that! but thatis this, ithink. oh, look at that! but that is all too rare a view, i think. and just take a listen. waves crash. 0. isn't that think. and just take a listen. waves crash. o. isn't that lovely? it will be a little bit louder, i think, down in brighton, once the grimsby fans start to take over for their
8:49 am
big match. let's find out if there are more of the scenes around the coastline. there are, but i havejust had a look at the temperature in the sea in brighton, eight celsius. oh, i can do that. not to me! it looks too cold for that! thank you very much. beautiful scenes like that are actually across the united kingdom, we have blue skies to greet many of us this mothering sunday and of course tomorrow is the spring equinox. and already, day length is longer than night, but over 12 hours there, these are the major towns and cities, you will find these sunsets where you are and summarises you can head to our website and you will see that they're in your today it is looking largely dry, a ridge of high pressure dominating things today, for many, keeping things settled, but out towards the west we have this weather system gradually moving on, mainly affecting northern ireland. as we saw, blue skies and
8:50 am
sunshine across many parts of england, wales and scotland as well, even some sunshine in northern ireland this morning, but the cloud increasing as we go into the afternoon. one to show as possible across central and eastern areas of england as we head into lunchtime and this afternoon, but if you are heading out this afternoon for a mother's day walk, perhaps, it is looking fine and dry with sunny spells. temperature is a bit lower than yesterday, but still pleasant enough and it sunshine. we will see the cloud increasing in northern ireland, rain moving in here later today, because the western isles of scotland, one or two showers in the far north—east of scotland and otherwise dry with those sunny spells. on into the evening, that rain will continue to move east into scotland, northern england and north wales, that rain could be quite heavy for a time of night tonight, quite a lot of cloud around at temperatures down to about 7—10 or even 11 degrees there in northern ireland. but it would be a rather wet start to the dave northern
8:51 am
ireland, and it will move north eastwards, so will see that rain spreading to much of scotland by the end of the afternoon, further showery rain spread into south—western parts of england, otherwise dry again for most. temperatures up a bit on today, 13-15, temperatures up a bit on today, 13—15, perhaps with 16 celsius across eastern areas of england. on into tuesday, we are going to be between weather systems, one clearing out to the north—east, another one starting to move its way in from the north—west as we go into wednesday, but as i said, on tuesday looking largely dry, a bit of rain towards northern areas and that will clear away, showers developing their afternoon, those could be heavy, perhaps even thundery in one or two locations, but between those showers again there will be sunny spells and again there will be sunny spells and again it will feel quite pleasant we get some sunshine, temperatures getting up to 15 or 16 degrees. for the rest of the week, low pressure is dominant and that means we will see where the system is continuing to pile on from the rest, making it
8:52 am
unsettled with showers, longer spells of rain at times, a bit of snow later in the week in scotland, some colder air starting to move in here, otherwise there is temperatures 11—15 c and with the spring equinox tomorrow that will feel quite nice in the sunshine. things are changing, aren't they? thank you, simon, lovely to see you. it is 8:52am. good morning. the bbc young reporter competition is an opportunity for budding journalists to bring under—reported stories to the bbc by sharing their unique and personal experiences. it's currently open to entries until the end of the month. one person who's shared their story is 19—year—old jessica, who was diagnosed with selective mutism as a child, and is now working to help others like her. hello, my name isjessica and i want to tell you all about makaton. when i was four years old i was really shy and unable to talk to people i didn't know because
8:53 am
although i knew what to say, i just couldn't say it. now as time has gone on, we know that it was selective mutism. that meant that i could communicate in some situations but couldn't communicate in others. at home i was the typical, cheeky, happy child, but when i stepped outside it was communication with my mother and that was it. jessica was really quite shy, at home she was chatty. she would talk to me quite a lot, but with other people she wouldn't talk. i could, you know, talk for her sometimes, i know you aren't supposed to. luckily at infant school i was taught maktaon speech and language therapy and also makaton, known as children's sign language, you sign less as you talk more.
8:54 am
i then developed confidence. i look back when i was younger and realised what a superpower makaton was to me back in those times so i thought i wanted to start to teach it. a i love signing with my puppets, so i have three. i use a special signing puppet, his name is jerry. we are a great team because he can sign while i talk. it makes me feel very, very happy. i can see that she was enjoying it, i could see the joy on her face. she was the same age i was when i was learning makaton so it is great to bring makaton to the wider audience and raise awareness about it. thank you so much for sharing your amazing story, jessica. we can speak now to music therapistjo turner — whose daughter lucy has selective mutism. let's ask you to define what you see as cilla did because the name is slightly misleading, and applies

8:57 am
being naughty and saying, i am not going to talk, so we need to make sure we have got a really multidisciplinary care pathway in place that supports every aspect of the child. lots of parents wanting to speak to language therapy, as well as arts therapies and we know that as we have seen withjessica, communication aids like makaton, recording devices, there some things we can use to support families and help educate children in school. sadly, this isn't happening and we are hoping through raising lots of awareness, that there are changes we will start to be able to make. yes. will start to be able to make. yes, ou will start to be able to make. yes, you touched _ will start to be able to make. yes, you touched on — will start to be able to make. yes, you touched on in _ will start to be able to make. yes, you touched on in there, - will start to be able to make. yes, you touched on in there, that the care in some cases isn't available. what changes do you want to see? because it is really important, the earlier that this is treated and dealt with, the more successful later in life to be able to overcome this. �* , ,., , later in life to be able to overcome this. x, , ~ ., ., this. absolutely, so we know for lots of children _ this. absolutely, so we know for lots of children if _ this. absolutely, so we know for lots of children if they _ this. absolutely, so we know for lots of children if they are i this. absolutely, so we know for lots of children if they are going | lots of children if they are going through with no treatment at all, by the time we are seeing teens and
8:58 am
adults, we are seeing lots of depression, isolation, a lack of fulfilment in life and sadly, suicide and self—harm. we don't want our kids to get to that stage. so early on, we are wanting to see much more done in the way of educating professionals who are working with the children, so speech and language at the moment diagnose and do an assessment, but unfortunately not all of them have been trained in selective mutism, so there are many counties where there are massive holes where children are falling through, so we want to see education to professionals being a real priority as well and starting to bring in other therapies. we know it is notjust behavioural, so a cbt approach isn't always the right approach isn't always the right approach for your child, we know using things like art therapies, music, dance, drama can be great ways of making communicating really fun as well and really relaxing the environment the child is in. also, with my daughter, we have done ssp, which is a listening therapy and cranial stripper, which releases the pressure in the brain, which allows
