6:02 am
according to her family, caused "intolerable stress". speaking for the first time since the tragedy, ofsted's chief inspector amanda spielman says she knows the process can be challenging, but that it remains in children's best interests. graham satchell reports. the death of ruth perry has devastated the education world. the headteacher of caversham primary school in reading took her own life after her school was downgraded from outstanding to inadequate. it has led to calls for ofsted inspectors to be paused and radically reformed. in her first public statement since the death, ofsted's chief inspector, amanda spielman, said ruth perry's death was a tragedy. "our thoughts remain with ruth's family, friends and the school community of caversham primary." she goes on to defend the current system.
6:03 am
the department for education in england and a protest by the national education union, carrying banners saying, �*replace ofsted', and photographs of ruth perry. this is the latest part of their campaign to change the inspection process. they handed over a petition with more than 50,000 signatures. our members tell us that we need an inspection system that is fit for purpose. that we need an inspection system that doesn't judge schools on a single word ofjudgement based on a two—day visit. the criticism of the current system in england is long held, that its one—word judgement — outstanding, good, inadequate — is too simplistic for the complex roles schools play in different communities. and the anxiety and stress of the inspections themselves has become unbearable. the pressure that we're under, as we prepare for ofsted inspections, is enormous. this and alongside of the general stress of running state some headteachers will be
6:04 am
pushed to breaking point. in her statement, amanda spielman concludes by saying... the department for education in england say inspections in england remain hugely important because they hold schools to account for their educational standards. but teachers are determined that ruth perry's death must be a catalyst for change. graham satchell, bbc news. authorities in cities across france are clearing up after a day of mass demonstrations turned violent last night. more than one million people took to the streets to protest against the raising of the retirement age from 62 to 64. most were peaceful, but small groups clashed with police in paris and other cities, including bordeaux,
6:05 am
toulouse, lille and nantes. with more details, here's vincent mcaviney. bordeaux's town hall set alight by protesters overnight. more than a million had taken to the streets across the country through the day, angry at president macron�*s raising of the retirement age from 62 to 64. in paris, where over 100,000 had marched in a largely peaceful demonstration, the night was also hijacked by violent protesters. running battles through the capital's centre between small groups and the police saw bins set on fire, projectiles hurled and tear gas launched in response. there were clashes too in cities including lille, strasbourg, nantes and toulouse. 0vernight, the interior minister visited police headquarters. translation: since this morning police have been the target - of unacceptable attacks.
6:06 am
149 have been injured, some of them seriously. they have been hit with acid, molotov cocktails and cobblestones. labour protests are not uncommon in france. but what has irked huge swathes of the country this time, is the way president macron made his pension reforms, forcing them through without a vote, and appearing on television to double down. and it was seen by pretty much everyone as a middle finger to the entire population, and people were angry already, and itjust threw a lot more oil on the fire. translation: if parliament had voted for it democratically, _ i probably wouldn't be here at this protest today. i'm not a militant, protesting isn't what i like to do. more protests are planned for next week, which could disrupt a state visit by king charles and camilla queen consort, who are travelling to paris this weekend. but president macron made two promises when he
6:07 am
first ran for office — to reform france, and unite it. this battle is forcing him to choose which promise he most wants to keep. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. the bbc says it has stopped filming the latest series of top gear, following an accident back in december, where its presenter freddie flintoff was hurt while filming. there are reports this morning that flintoff has decided to leave the programme. the bbc has not commented. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. and you're expecting me... yeah. ..to go down there? freddie flintoffjoined top gear in 2019. along with co—presenters paddy mcguinness and chris harris, he helped to reverse the fall in ratings that had followed the departure ofjeremy clarkson, richard hammond and james may four years earlier. the incident at top gear's test track at dunsfold park aerodrome in surrey last december, resulted in freddie flintoff being taken to hospital for treatment.
6:08 am
just over three months later, bbc studios, which produces the bbc one show, says it's concluded its report into what happened. it says that it has sincerely apologise to flintoff, and that it'll continue to support him throughout his recovery. in a statement, it also says that, under the circumstances, it would be inappropriate to resume making the current series of top gear at this time, and that it will make a judgement about how best to continue later this year. three, two, one, go! there was also an initial inquiry by the health and safety executive into the incident. it said that it wouldn't be investigating further. lizo mzimba, bbc news. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will hold talks with rishi sunak in downing street this morning. discussions are expected to focus on the war in ukraine and iran's nuclear programme, but the meeting is likely to be overshadowed
6:09 am
by the continuing protests in israel, where mr netanyahu is pushing ahead with controversial reforms that would limit the power of the courts. the boss of tiktok has defended the app in the face of hostile questioning in the us congress. shou zi chew denied the social media platform was a national security risk, and played down its connection to china. the hearing came as uk parliament announced it would ban tiktok from its networks. 0ur north america technology reporterjames clayton has the latest. if tiktok�*s boss thought washington would roll out the red carpet for him, he thought wrong. forfour and a half hours, shou zi chew faced hostile and relentless questioning. the chair of the energy and commerce committee set the tone. tiktok collects nearly every data point imaginable, from people's location, to what they type and copy, who they talk to, biometric data and more.
6:10 am
and from there, it didn't get much better for tiktok�*s boss. it's notjust politicians in the us that are worried. the uk parliament has banned tiktok from its work devices over concerns about security, with similar measures taken by the scottish and welsh governments. there are two primary concerns about tiktok. they both involve china. the first is that we know tiktok hoovers up data from your phone, like usage data, location information and biometric data. there are worries that this could be handed to the chinese government, something that tiktok categorically denies. the other concern is that so many people now use tiktok, it wields enormous influence. could the chinese government tweak the algorithm to influence what we think? this is what shou zi chew said to that. i'm making the following commitments to you, and to all our users. number one, we will keep safety, particularly for teenagers, as a top priority for us.
6:11 am
number two, we will firewall protect the us data from unwanted foreign access. number three, tiktok will remain a place of free expression and will not be manipulated by any government. the uk often follows the us' lead when it comes to cyber security. and what we know now is that many politicians in the us don'tjust want the platform reformed, they want it banned outright. james clayton, bbc news. the funeral of a woman who died in a crush during a concert at the 02 academy in london in december, will take place today. rebecca ikumelo was critically injured and died days later. an investigation is due to conclude next month into what happened. a council leader is set to resign after giving the go—ahead for more than 100 trees to be chopped down overnight in plymouth. richard bingley will face a vote
6:12 am
of no confidence after he signed off the decision to make way for a town centre redevelopment plan. 0ur south west england correspondent, jenny kumah, has this report. despicable vandalism. environmental devastation. a chainsaw massacre. just some of the words used by opponents to this felling of more than 100 trees in plymouth city centre. the contractors came late at night. then, at around 1am, campaigners were able to get an injunction to stop the chop. if you cut any more trees down it'll be a criminal offence. by then, only a few trees remained. plymouth city council said, given the size of the tree machinery, it's a scheduled the works to be carried out at night, with as few people around as possible, for public safety reasons. in the cold light of day, the sight of the destruction left
6:13 am
many feeling angry. it's just disgraceful that all the protests and all the people's feelings just meant nothing. they're supposed to be putting in new ones. but why cut down the old ones? you could have left them there. the council will appeal the injunction at the high court in london. if they win, they'll be able to remove the felled trees. they haven't been able to do that yet because of the injunction. they'll also be able to fell the remaining 16 trees. this is what the council plans for the city centre to look like, as part of a £13 million regeneration project. many traders and residents agree a spruce up is long overdue. the council admit, though, that a consultation showed overwhelming objections to their plans, but they say they listened, and changed the final design to deliver more than 170 semi—mature trees. it was the leader of the council, richard bingley, who used his executive powers to order the felling of the trees. and he hasn't responded to our requests for an interview.
6:14 am
and just a few days ago, his conservative group announced that he'll resign on monday, when he's due to face a no confidence vote. this has been an emotive and divisive issue in plymouth. that's likely to continue to be the case, whatever the judgement is at the high court this afternoon. jenny kumah, bbc news, plymouth. if you didn't manage to bag tickets for the eurovision song contest this year, it's just been announced that you'll be able to watch it live at the cinema. more than 500 cinemas are taking part and tickets will be available from 10am on monday. the final takes place on saturday may the 13th, in liverpool. that would be a good place to have a party, a eurovision party, in the cinema. you've got the drinks, the popcorn. cinema. you've got the drinks, the -o corn. ., , . popcorn. the whole life experience, in a a-rou popcorn. the whole life experience, in a grow) of — popcorn. the whole life experience, in a grow) of peeple _ popcorn. the whole life experience, in a group of people rather- popcorn. the whole life experience, in a group of people rather than - in a group of people rather than sitting at home. i can see that. that works.
6:15 am
where is the best place to live? well, according to the sunday times latest guide, wadhurst in east sussex tops the list. but does it bring the best weather? sarah's there for us with the forecast. there is a question. a wonderful place to live, according to the survey. what do we know about wadhurst and its weather? morning. actuall , i wadhurst and its weather? morning. actually. i can _ wadhurst and its weather? morning. actually, i can tell— wadhurst and its weather? morning. actually, i can tell you _ wadhurst and its weather? morning. actually, i can tell you that - actually, i can tell you that wadhurst has pretty decent weather all in all. it has about 1750 hours of sunshine annually. it only rains on average about one every three days. on average across the uk it is about every other day for most areas. great weather here, great location. the sunday times praised the village for its great schools, transport connections and also its really vibrant community. lots of fundraisers here as well. fantastic high street with lots of shops. you can see why it has been voted the best place to live in the uk. this
6:16 am
morning, quite a decent start. some sunny spells already breaking through here. what about the rest of the uk? a pretty unsettled story weather—wise for most of us. sunny spells, yes, plenty of blustery showers. low pressure in charge. this morning, some sunshine for a central, southern and eastern parts of england and wales, cloudier with a few showers already across parts of scotland and northern ireland. through the day, some sunshine. heavy showers bubbling up almost anywhere in england and wales. they could be quite hungry. they are blowing through quickly on a brisk winter. 45 to 50 mph gusts of wind. ten to 15 degrees for most of us today. colder in the far north of scotland where we have lighter winds. showers will be slow moving. this evening and tonight it is still cloudy, blustery and the south with further showers. a frost free night. temperatures about five to 8 degrees to start your saturday morning. through the day tomorrow it is
6:17 am
another day of some sunny spells developing, but also blustery showers. cloudy, drizzly start in the north, but brighter later on in the north, but brighter later on in the day. still windy tomorrow towards southern areas. the showers not quite as frequent or as heavy as they are today. temperatures down in night today, ten to 14 for most, colder in the north of scotland. that sets us up for something a little bit colder saturday into sunday. don't forget the clocks go forward one hour on saturday night forward one hour on saturday night for the official start of british summertime. thank you. it does look lovely there, very tranquil with the daffodils. 17 minutes past six. a project helping students recover from addiction is being rolled out at the university of birmingham. the scheme, which is the first of its kind in the uk, sets students up in recovery flats, which allows them to focus on their studies rather than drop out of university. 0ur midlands correspondent phil mackie has more. hey, morning. welcome.
6:18 am
welcome, fellas. hi. come in, come in. welcome to the recovery flat. this student flat is unique. three rooms here. my room is on the end. that's my space. yusuf is a mature student, eight years in recovery. 0pened since january, there's room for five other students, all of whom are recovering from some form of addiction. recovery flats, and the support projects which work alongside them, are commonplace in american colleges, where they've helped tens of thousands of students complete their degrees. in a recovery flat like this, they don't have to be around people coming. you know, the temptation is out of the way when they're in their home where they're living. so, you know. and building those relationships with other people in recovery is also very important. you know, they may not even know it yet, but they know they want something. butjust being around those people helps them come out of their shell, if you like, because obviously addiction can be characterised by denial. so yeah, i'm in here mondays and fridays from nine to five. luke traynor suffered years of addiction.
6:19 am
as a heroin user he lost everything. i reached that kind of gift of desperation where i went to people that i knew that could help. and i said, "i've got no ideas, i surrender." now clean, he's rebuilt his life partly through studying here at the university. he manages better than well, the project which helps students, and believes that must mean involving them in as normal a student life as possible. we didn't want students in recovery to be kind of hidden away in some little obscure part of the campus. the whole idea of better than well is that the students in recovery can experience the whole package without being hindered by their addictions. to get yourself out of the hole is harder than to kind - of stay out of the hole. they say it's easier tojust carry on. i every friday evening, they get together to discuss their recoveries. it gives them a chance to get together, but also to share their experiences.
6:20 am
there's still a stigma to overcome, whether it's drugs, alcohol or a behavioural addiction like gambling. so everyone here asked for anonymity. nonetheless, the project has had lots of engagement and some real success. people are still very reticent about talking about their problems with addiction. they still... there's a fear that if they mention it, they might get into trouble. they might get thrown out of the university, they might get prosecuted. when you see the outcomes that you get, you see the students that you've managed to keep within their degree, you've helped them, notjust drop out, but to thrive and to finish their degree and get their qualification, it's very likely you've changed the trajectory of the whole course of their life. the university's uk task force is due to report soon on drug addiction on british campuses. it's been closely looking at successes the model here has already had. phil mackie, bbc news.
6:21 am
it is 20 minutes past six. let's take a look at today's papers. and first we head to the back pages. all of them leading with a triumphant harry kane, as he became england's highest ever goalscorer in last nights euros qualifier against italy. the mirror call him �*king kane' — more on that with mike shortly. the times warns the average council tax will top £2,000 for the first time, after the bank of england raised interest rates. it comes as household face many other prices rises. the metro leads with the bizarre story of a nigerian politician, and his wife, who were found guilty of trafficking a man to the uk to harvest a kidney from him. they'd hoped to give the organ to their sick daughter. and nicola sturgeon is pictured leaving her final appearance at first minister's questions on the front page of the guardian. it comes just over a month after the surprise announcement she was stepping
6:22 am
down as leader of the snp. what has caught your eye? i have been trying to work out of this story about what we learn from this story about what we learn from this story about what we learn from this story about coffee drinking. it is a story about coffee drinking. it is a story in the times. it says coffee drinkers 1000 steps out of the rest. they did an experiment. this is the new england journal of medicine. they had two groups of people. one was having coffee, one was not. they looked at how much they walked, how many steps they took, and how much they slept. so, part of the study, which was not a terribly revealing, was that the people who drank a lot of coffee slept a bit less. i think we kind of know. have a coffee late at night, you are going to struggle with it. the other thing was, why are they walking more? why are the people having coffee walking 1001 steps a day? in amongst the quite on scientific evidence that was put
6:23 am
forward is one possible counter explanation. 0n the coffee days, the people having the coffee, they were paid for, by the way, they say one possible explanation is on coffee days people went further to buy from a fancy cafes after all the scientists were paying. the scheme itself was encouraging people to walk far because they could get a better coffee and they were not paying. better coffee and they were not -a inc. ., ., ., ., paying. you hit the nail on the head b sa in: paying. you hit the nail on the head by saying it — paying. you hit the nail on the head by saying it was _ paying. you hit the nail on the head by saying it was unscientific. - paying. you hit the nail on the head by saying it was unscientific. very i by saying it was unscientific. very quickly, want to give you this. i am giving you this. it is a zebra crossing a zebra crossing. a zebra which escaped from a zoo in south korea. it which escaped from a zoo in south korea. ., ., ., korea. it went right around town. great picture- _ for more than 150 years, kings and queens have been among the few people permitted to walk on one of britain's greatest medieval treasures — the cosmati pavement. now, for the first time in its history, visitors to westminster abbey will be allowed to stand — in socks — in the exact spot
6:24 am
where the king will be crowned. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell has more. in just six weeks' time, westminster abbey will host another coronation. since 1066, 39 monarchs have been crowned here. and for the past 700 years, beneath their feet has been this, a mosaic made from thousands of pieces of glass, marble and stone, the cosmati pavement. it's just so unusual that this is here. italian masons came here with all their materials. they collaborated with the english masons to produce this fantastic, glittering, shiny mosaic, in front of the high altar at the heart of westminster abbey. it would have looked amazing. it's so beautiful in the flesh, but it's been covered up for years? yes. covered with carpet and boarding, just because it was in such a deteriorated condition that it couldn't be safely used. and that's why, when you look back at archive footage from the late
6:25 am
queen's coronation in 1953, all you can see is the light coloured carpet. the medievalfloor, which by then was uneven and damaged, had been covered up since victorian times. vanessa and her team spent two years fully restoring the mosaic, with maintenance an ongoing project. it's witnessed so, so much. you know, throughout the centuries, every special event has taken place, and probably on the cosmati pavement. usually, the public is kept well away from the cosmati pavement in order to protect it. but, for a few short weeks after the coronation, they will be allowed for the first time to actually walk on the mosaic, as long as, of course, they take off their shoes. it's the high altar, - it's a very sacred space. it's where special services - and major services take place. and for normal visiting - the area is completely roped off.
6:26 am
but we just think as part - of the celebration of coronation, we want to allow a few people access onto the pavement to see _ what it's really like, i and to get a real feel and a sense for the space. and to stand on the place where the coronation chair will have just been? yeah, you'll be able to stand right in the centre point - where the coronation chair sits and faces east. - and also, you'll be able to see - the pavement itself in great detail. i mean, it's a masterpiece. it's been there since 1268. it's really lovely. - anti—monarchy campaigners opted not to remove their shoes when they carried out a brief protest there earlier this week. on may 6, the focus will once again be on this seven metre square mosaic, a colourful example of the abbey�*s long history and connection with the monarchy. sarah campbell, bbc news, westminster abbey. still to come this morning... from the great plague, to world wars and — most recently —
6:27 am
the covid pandemic, st bartholomew's in london has nursed patients through it all. we'll be taking a look back at the history of the oldest working hospital in the uk, as it celebrates 900 years of care. idid not i did not know it had been in existence for that long. extraordinary. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. the funeral of rebecca ikumelo, who died during a crush at brixton academy, will take place today. the mother—of—two and nursing graduate from east london was critically injured when a "large number of people" tried to get into a concert by asake in december. security guard gaby hutchinson, who was working at the venue, also died. a third person is still seriously ill more than three months on. investigations have begun into two separate fires yesterday in central london. the first broke out at a hotel
6:28 am
in paddington and took 70 firefighters two hours to bring under control. buildings nearby on craven road were evacuated as a precaution. crews also attended a fire at a restaurant in belgravia, where 13 people managed to get out before emergency services arrived. two people were rescued from a flat above. new figures suggest nearly 700,000 drivers in london will have to pay the ultra low emission zone fee when the scheme expands in august. motoring group the rac carried out the research and said it will have a "massive financial impact on motorists and businesses". it comes a day after tfl said nine out of ten cars driving in outer london on an average day meet ulez standards, so won't pay the charge. some of the world's best—known museums have joined forces to build what they describe as a "groundbreaking" database featuring all the specimens in their collections. they include london's natural history museum in london and royal botanic gardens at kew, which have linked up with 73 organisations from 27 countries to create the inventory of more than a billion objects.
6:29 am
the aim is to help find solutions to issues like climate change and conservation. visitors to westminster abbey will be allowed to stand for the first time in the exact spot where the king will be crowned — but only in socks. special guided tours will be held in celebration of the coronation in may and include access to the cosmati pavement — an intricate mosaic floor, which has been part of the ceremony for 700 years. the only catch — you have to remove your shoes to help protect the 13th—century tiles. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello, there, good morning. it's a day of sunny spells, but also some rather heavy, blustery showers across the capital. so typical spring weather — it certainly is going to be very changeable indeed. but it's a frost—free start to the day, it's a mild start with some sunshine around. we'll see most of the showers get going as we head through the late morning and into the afternoon — they could be heavy and thundery, there could be some lightning
6:30 am
and some hail around at times, too. but the showers will rattle through really very quickly on this very brisk south—westerly wind. it's quite gusty again, but it's mild out there — temperatures will peak at around 14 or 15 degrees celsius, which is above the seasonal average. 0vernight tonight, a lot of the showers will tend to fade away, it's another mild start to the weekend. and we are still in that mild air on saturday. a few showers, but not as many as today. we'll keep the strength of that south—westerly—to—westerly wind, and there will be some rain to start sunday. it will turn colder. there's lots more on our website and social media — including a special investigation into illegal vapes and how easy it is to get hold of them. that's it for now, i'll be back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. many people will see their mobile phone and broadband bills rise from next week, as providers boost their charges in line with inflation.
6:31 am
but is there anything we can do about it? hannah's been looking into this for us. i have had one of these letters and you look at it and go, another bill increasing as these rates go up. should we be shopping? what should we do? fix. should we be shopping? what should we do? �* ., ., should we be shopping? what should wedo?�* ., ., , should we be shopping? what should wedo? ., ., , , we do? a lot of people will be caettin we do? a lot of people will be getting those _ we do? a lot of people will be getting those letters - we do? a lot of people will be getting those letters with - we do? a lot of people will be getting those letters with the | we do? a lot of people will be - getting those letters with the same thought. let's run through what you can do. yes, by now you should nowjust how much your bills are going up by, likely to come into effect next saturday, april the 1st. 02 have the most eye—catching increase, about 17%, while tesco mobile, who previously froze contract prices, are also increasing monthly bills by more than 14%. 02 say it doesn't apply to the whole of a bill, so monthly increases will be effectively lower. it applies to your broadband contract too, which for customers of many of the major providers will mean bills going up by at least 14%. now, you might be wondering whether this is allowed. the answer is yes — if it's included in the terms and conditions when you signed up to the contract.
6:32 am
the price rise is usually based around inflation — which injanuary was 10.5% — with an additional amount of 3.9% added on. the regulator 0fcom has launched an investigation into the increased costs, saying that due to the uncertainty that comes with the high rate of inflation at the moment, customers deserve clarity over how their bills will be affected. how do providers justify it? well, many of them say that it's necessary given rising costs facing their business. one of those costs is investment in the network, which needs to be done if we're all going to keep using more and more data. so what can you do? you could cancel and look elsewhere, but that can involve penalty fees — in some cases of more than £200. consumer magazine which? and other groups say those fees should be scrapped. if you think a price increase wasn't made clear when you signed up, 0fcom recommend that you complain to your provider, and then escalate to the independent ombudsman if necessary.
6:33 am
it is in some ways now a familiar story — the cost increases thatjust keep on coming. we'd like to hear from you this morning — is your broadband or mobile bill going up more than you perhaps expected, are you worried it's too late to cancel or switch? let us know via email or on twitter using the hashtag #bbcbreakfast — or, of course, on whatsapp — and we'll put some of those questions to a consumer affairs expertjoining me later. ican imagine i can imagine you will get lots of questions on this. thank you. a celebration of a wind, and also of a mild, sports star who has achieved till mecca achieved a remarkable statistic. �* ., statistic. i'm delighted for him after missing _ statistic. i'm delighted for him after missing that _ statistic. i'm delighted for him after missing that penalty. -

6:35 am
record goal—scorer. the fans crowding into the diego armando maradona stadium seemed to know they might witness history. kane didn't get the first, but he tried. kane — blocked. follow—up in! declan rice with a rebound. just before half—time, an italian handball in the box and the penalty—taker, harry kane, had his chance. england penalty. the last time he took one of these for england, he missed — and they went out of the world cup. would his nerves hold? and there is his immortal moment! his 54th goal for england. ecstatic to be his country's record goal—scorer. but italy are the european champions, and fought back in the second half. a late red card for luke shaw didn't help italy — defeated by england for the first time in 11 years. england have won in italy. breaking the goal—scoring record, of course, would have been a proud moment, no matter the circumstance, but...for sure it's always that little bit sweeter when you win.
6:36 am
and, like i touched on, to win ourfirst game here in italy against italy for a long, long time, so... amazing, amazing night. to break the record in the manner we did, given the recent history, to break the record in the manner he did, given the recent history, was an indication of his strength of character and his mentality. and, yeah, i couldn't be happier for him and his family — they're lovely people. he...is a brilliant professional. and to do it as quickly as he has, as well, with still — you know, a lot of his career still to go, is an incredible achievement. this stadium has been the setting for so many great moments, and has been graced by the best footballers in the world — not least its namesake. but last night, the diego armando maradona stadium belonged to harry kane — england's record goal—scorer. jane dougall, bbc news, naples. more reaction to come. now, sadly, before the game,
6:37 am
there were clashes between a number of england fans and italian police. some england fans told the bbc crew in naples that they were charged at by police and struck with batons when trying to enter the stadium. the fa had said 23 coaches would be used to take supporters from a station in the city to within100 yards of the ground, but it's understood the journey — which should have taken 20 minutes — took an hour and a half, and then fans say there was a lack of communication. now northern ireland also got off to a winning start, as michael 0'neill�*s second spell in charge ended in victory, albeit against the worst national team in the world. yes, san marino are officially the lowest—ranked international side, so no surprise at the result — a 2—0 win. bolton's dion charles scored both goals, his first for his country, so he's the competition's joint top—scorer alongside cristano ronaldo — admittedly, afterjust one game. northern ireland now host finland on sunday. and elsewhere, records and ronaldo go hand in hand — and the portuguese star made sure he had another night to remember for his national side. a 197th portugal appearance means he became men's football's most—capped international —
6:38 am
and he marked the occasion by scoring twice in a 4—0 win against liechtenstein. that's also a record—extending 120 goals, too. away from football, world athletics have banned transgender women from competing in the female category at international events — a rule that will come into effect from the end of this month. a working group will be set up to conduct further research into the transgender guidelines when it comes to eligibility. we're not saying no forever... ..and prevailing understanding, changing science. but i think our instinct was that, while there is uncertainty about that science, it is not as robust as the science and the information, the data that we have on the 15 years of work that we've been doing on the front line with dsd athletes. and i think that is the right decision. rory mcilroy is living life on the edge at the world match play championship, and he couldn't afford
6:39 am
to take a wrong step. with his ball perched on the edge of a rocky cliff on the ninth hole in austin, texas, he seems oblivious to the drop to his right, as he takes an age to work out his angles and distance. and despite the precarious position, he almost managed to find the hole — and he won his match against denny mccarthy. that is a very... we should explain, the reason he didn't putt out is in matchplay you are given the putt. he didn't have to drop his ball. i’m didn't have to drop his ball. i'm uuuessin didn't have to drop his ball. i'm guessing it _ didn't have to drop his ball. i'm guessing it wasn't windy because it had been winding. you guessing it wasn't windy because it had been winding.— guessing it wasn't windy because it had been winding. you have to take the shot, though. _ had been winding. you have to take the shot, though. i— had been winding. you have to take the shot, though. i would - had been winding. you have to take the shot, though. i would be - the shot, though. iwould be really unnerved _ the shot, though. iwould be really unnerved by _ the shot, though. iwould be really unnerved by that. - the shot, though. iwould be really unnerved by that. i - the shot, though. iwould be really unnerved by that. i would| the shot, though. i would be i really unnerved by that. i would be standing a bit further away from the edge than he was. he standing a bit further away from the edge than he was.— edge than he was. he was focused. you would — edge than he was. he was focused. you would be _ edge than he was. he was focused. you would be fine. _ edge than he was. he was focused. you would be fine. looking - edge than he was. he was focused. you would be fine. looking at - edge than he was. he was focused. you would be fine. looking at that| you would be fine. looking at that icture, it you would be fine. looking at that picture, it looked _ you would be fine. looking at that picture, it looked like _ you would be fine. looking at that picture, it looked like he - you would be fine. looking at that picture, it looked like he could - picture, it looked like he could step—

6:41 am
best of britain. wadhurst came out as number one for lots of reasons. it has great schools, transport network. really stunning scenery here. we are on the border of kent and sussex. rolling green hills here and sussex. rolling green hills here and a vibrant community. lots of fundraising groups, lots of support groups. all those factors come together so it tops the list of the best place to live. lots of very proud residents here, as well. what about the weather? we have some dry weather first thing this morning. across the rest of the uk, a fairly unsettled picture notjust today but over the next few days. low pressure driving things. sunny spells for many out there but also some heavy and blustery showers, as well. low pressure sitting to the north—west of the uk and that is driving its way eastwards and there are lots of heavy showers rattling around that low pressure, lots of isobars showing it is going to be a blustery day. especially to the south. some sunshine for central, southern and eastern parts of england and wales to start the day. more pad for the
6:42 am
night with showers from the word go. as we head through the day things ten to one up in the south and we will see heavy showers bubbling up. some of them will bring some hail, perhaps some thunderstorms, but they were rattled through quickly on that wind, especially towards southern areas. further north it will not be as windy so any showers in scotland will be quite a slow moving. temperatures about ten to 15 or most, corderacross temperatures about ten to 15 or most, corder across the far north of scotland but generally reasonably mild for this stage in march. tonight, still blustery, still further showers pushing eastwards on the brisk breeze. it will be frost—free with temperatures falling to between five to 80 degrees for most. what about saturday morning? we start off on a drizzly note for parts of scotland and northern england. there will be showers from the word go and also a bit of sunshine, especially for parts of england and wales. but like today, another breezy start of day. the
6:43 am
showers not quite as heavy, although as frequent as today. thunderstorms potential for north—east england and lancashire. temperatures down a notch, we are looking at ten to 14 or most but only around —— north—east and lincolnshire. the cold air in the north of scotland will move further south saturday night into sunday. that could bring a few wintry flurries to the high ground of northern and eastern scotland, north—east england. further south, still the slightly milder conditions so just about double figures, 10 or 11 degrees for southern areas. further north we will struggle to get out of single figures and you may well see a few wintry flurries, especially over higher ground. don't forget the clocks are set to go forward by one hour overnight saturday night and into sunday. the clocks tell us british summertime is arriving but the weather might have other ideas. thank you so much. see you later. st bartholomew's hospital in london has nursed patients through the black death, two world wars and — most recently — the covid pandemic,
6:44 am
treating hundreds in intensive care. this weekend st bart's celebrates its 900—year history. 0ur reporterjohn maguire is there for us this morning. this is such an extraordinary number. i thought it almost couldn't be true. it is a magnificent building, the outside of where you are, with an incredible history. you are, with an incredible history. you are absolutely _ are, with an incredible history. gm. are absolutely right. 1123, i couldn't believe it, either. this site pretty much has been a similar footprint over the last at least 100 years or so, it has been providing health care to the local population, around 1.5 million people in east london at the moment, but also with some of its specialties with cardiac and cancer care right across the country. some of the expertise here is world leading. nine centuries of history. we will find out now about what that history has meant, what is happening at the moment at the
6:45 am
hospital, and also their plans for the future. the story of st bartholomew's hospital is the story of health care itself. created by rahere, a monk, to look after the sick of east london who were too poor to afford treatment, this deed — written in latin and preserved in the hospital archive — denotes its foundation in 1123. and nine centuries on, it's still providing care, despite infrequent obstacles — such as henry viii's dissolution of the monasteries cancelling its income. but, following a concerted campaign, bart's was saved — a decision signed off by the king himself. we know that this was issued a couple of weeks before henry died, so i don't know if he'd been worn down in in his illness. and there was also, actually, a lot of concern kind of in terms of public health about infectious disease, about plague, about syphilis — which was quite a new illness. and there's reference to the kind of the sick poor lying in the streets who need somewhere
6:46 am
to be cared for. so this is probably our most advanced bit of equipment in the radiotherapy department. so this is called a cyberknife, and it's a fusion of robotics with radiotherapy technology. these days, the hospital provides some of the best cardiac and cancer care in modern medicine. if you select the patient very carefully, you can use this type of machine to deliver radiotherapy with pinpoint accuracy to essentially ablate — to destroy — that spot of disease within the patient's body, whether it's in their liver, theirlung, theirspine. and we've seen some great results come from using this type of treatment. andy is on his 24th visit for radiotherapy for prostate cancer. what a way to celebrate a birthday! i had a diagnosis five years ago. wow. i had a prostatectomy then, and so i've been monitored by the nhs ever since,
6:47 am
and last year it reached the level which triggered the suggestion of further treatment. so... then this machine comes into play. i don't think you could get anything much better, could you? no, well, that's what i'm saying, yeah. i mean, i think this unit is 12 years old, i think this machine's only a couple of years old. and so they look after us. good, good. and happy birthday. thank you very much. and many more to come! let's hope so! the most important thing. let's hope so! many more to come. great stuff. bart's was visited recently by the king. among those he met was nell bhadresha — a survivor of what's known as triple—negative breast cancer. aggressive — and, until recently, survival was unlikely. but staff here are helping to change that. and nell has been given the all—clear. cancer to me felt like a death sentence. i was devastated. beyond devastated — i was shattered — everything, my world imploded. but the one thing that i latched onto was my oncologist, because she was so... ..honest and hopeful, and she used the word "curable" in my meeting.
6:48 am
and it wasn't something i was expecting. but if she thinks that there's hope that i can do this, that i can do this, and that's what i latched onto. along with its long history, the hospital has ambitious plans for the future. a new breast—cancer centre that will bring all aspects of treatment under one roof. the dream is to make myjob go away. that we have such effective ways of diagnosing cancer and breast cancer early — and treated well — that ultimately, in the future, if a patient comes through the door, we can, rather than saying what we do at the moment — "we can treat you extremely well" — we hope you're most likely cured at the end. my dream would be to be able to say "you will be cured". that's still a big step away. for staff working here — sometimes across various sites — it's a game—changer. super locating everything onto one
6:49 am
site means we've got access — all those patients have equal access to research opportunities. even if there's not a trial applicable to them, they can donate their tissue into our tissue bank. that means that future generations of research proposals can pull on that tissue to be able to make more treatment opportunities for patients. also, the care would be more holistic, and waiting times reduced. waiting for scans, waiting to get treatment started, waiting for test results. actually, with the creation of the breast centre, having everything under one roof will actually allow us to have more capacity and more leeway to actually be able to see patients a lot sooner. redevelopment work rarely stops in city—centre hospitals, but this is unique. one of the buildings has two huge paintings by the famous 18th—century artist william hogarth, which — in the future — will be open to the public, to patients, and to staff. the hospital areas are incredible technical clinical spaces, but what you have here is something different — a place that people can come and relax,
6:50 am
unwind, can be an aid to recovery and reflection. so we want it to be as relevant now as it was when the building was first finished 300 years ago. it comes as no surprise that an institution that's lasted 900 years through fire, war, and political upheaval has done so because it looks notjust to the past, but also to the future. so much history but so much ambition. the fountain hasjust been turned on as you can see and hear and great to see some of those old pictures of when they used to bring patients out here to the square to soak up some sun, some vitamin d. let's speak to charlotte, senior sister who has just come off the night shift and also to jay, a patient here. i was last night? good, and 0k shift, it all went

put on her by the 0fsted inspection. speaking for the first time since the tragedy, 0fsted's chief inspector amanda spielman says she knows the process can be challenging, but that it remains in children's best interests. graham satchell reports. the death of ruth perry has devastated the education world. the headteacher of caversham primary school in reading took her own life after her school was downgraded from outstanding to inadequate. it has led to calls for 0fsted inspections to be paused and radically reformed. in her first public statement since the death, 0fsted's chief inspector, amanda spielman, said ruth perry's death was a tragedy. she goes on to defend the current system.

the department for education in england and a protest by the national education union, carrying banners saying, �*replace 0fsted�*, and photographs of ruth perry. this is the latest part of their campaign to change the inspection process. they handed over a petition with more than 50,000 signatures. our members tell us that we need an inspection system that is fit for purpose. that we need an inspection system that doesn�*t judge schools on a single word ofjudgement based on a two—day visit. the criticism of the current system in england is long held, that its one—word judgement — outstanding, good, inadequate — is too simplistic for the complex roles schools play in different communities. and the anxiety and stress of the inspections themselves has become unbearable. the pressure that we're put under, as we prepare for ofsted inspections, is enormous. and alongside of the general stress of running state schools at the moment, i can absolutely see how
7:04 am
some headteachers will be pushed to breaking point. in her statement, amanda spielman concludes by saying... the department for education in england say inspections in england remain hugely important because they hold schools to account for their educational standards. but teachers are determined that ruth perry�*s death must be a catalyst for change. graham satchell, bbc news. authorities in cities across france are clearing up after a day of mass demonstrations turned violent last night. more than one million people took to the streets to protest against the raising of the retirement age from 62 to 64. most were peaceful, but small groups clashed with police in paris
7:05 am
and other cities, including bordeaux, toulouse, lille and nantes. with more details, here�*s vincent mcaviney. bordeaux�*s town hall set alight by protesters overnight. more than a million had taken to the streets across the country through the day, angry at president macron�*s raising of the retirement age from 62 to 64. in paris, where over 100,000 had marched in a largely peaceful demonstration, the night was also hijacked by violent protesters. running battles through the capital�*s centre between small groups and the police saw bins set on fire, projectiles hurled and tear gas launched in response. there were clashes too in cities including lille, strasbourg, nantes and toulouse. 0vernight, the interior minister visited police headquarters. translation: since this morning
7:06 am
police have been the target - of unacceptable attacks. 149 have been injured, some of them seriously. they have been hit with acid, molotov cocktails and cobblestones. labour protests are not uncommon in france. but what has irked huge swathes of this country this time, is the way president macron made his pension reforms, forcing them through without a vote, and appearing on television to double down. and it was seen by pretty much everyone as a middle finger to the entire population, and people were angry already, and itjust threw a lot more oil on the fire. translation: if parliament had voted for it democratically, _ i probably wouldn�*t be here at this protest today. i�*m not a militant, protesting isn�*t what i like to do. more protests are planned for next week, which could disrupt a state visit by king charles and camilla queen consort, who are travelling to paris this weekend. but president macron made two promises when he
7:07 am
first ran for office — to reform france, and unite it. this battle is forcing him to choose which promise he most wants to keep. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. the bbc says it won�*t continue filming the latest series of top gear, following an accident in december where its presenter freddie flintoff was hurt. there are reports this morning that flintoff has decided to leave the programme. the bbc has not commented. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. and you�*re expecting me... yeah. ..to go down there? freddie flintoffjoined top gear in 2019. along with co—presenters paddy mcguinness and chris harris, he helped to reverse the fall in ratings that had followed the departure ofjeremy clarkson, richard hammond and james may four years earlier. the incident at top gear�*s test track at dunsfold park aerodrome in surrey last december, resulted in freddie flintoff being taken

7:17 am
and from there, it didn�*t get much better for tiktok�*s boss. it�*s notjust politicians in the us that are worried. the uk parliament has banned tiktok from its work devices over concerns about security, with similar measures taken by the scottish and welsh governments. there are two primary concerns about tiktok. they both involve china. the first is that we know tiktok hoovers up data from your phone, like usage data, location information and biometric data. there are worries that this could be handed to the chinese government, something that tiktok categorically denies. the other concern is that so many people now use tiktok, it wields enormous influence. could the chinese government tweak the algorithm to influence what we think? this is what shou zi chew said to that. i�*m making the following commitments to you, and to all our users. number one, we will keep safety, particularly for teenagers, as a top
7:18 am
priority for us. number two, we will firewall protect the us data from unwanted foreign access. number three, tiktok will remain a place of free expression and will not be manipulated by any government. the uk often follows the us�* lead when it comes to cyber security. and what we know now is that many politicians in the us don�*tjust want the platform reformed, they want it banned outright. james clayton, bbc news. we�*re joined now byjake moore, who�*s a cyber security expert. morning to you. this was an important day in terms of tiktok, a big technology company facing questions. what did we actually learn? there was a lot of posturing, i felt, from the american politicians, give the guy a hard time. ~ . ., .,

7:21 am
it up to all sorts of apps. you look at facebook, instagram, it is capturing so data. but the worry here is where that data is being shared and analysed. like i say, it could have been manipulated in terms of political progress. potentially, we saw with cambridge analytica and facebook a few years ago how it was used in the presidential election. that is the worry that governments around the world, quite rightly, are worried about. if that data is used in the future... worried about. if that data is used in the future. . .— worried about. if that data is used in the future... when you have got ma'or in the future... when you have got major institutions, _ in the future... when you have got major institutions, governments, i in the future... when you have got i major institutions, governments, and the national broadcaster, saying, do not have this on your work from, what do people use tiktok, particularly younger people, it is a young person�*s app, so to speak, does that make a difference in how they use it? when you refer to facebook, there were times when people deleted facebook from their phones in reaction to cambridge analytica. will that happen now? you

do have that — analytica. will that happen now? gm, do have that worry that people are going to be thinking about their data right now. but i think what we are seeing now is that we are starting to understand that these huge companies can access that data. you might find people go and delete tiktok. that is tiktok�*s worry. if they are able to access their data, and we are talking about it right now, that is a good step forward. parents, children, starting to realise their data... parents, children, starting to realise their data. . .— parents, children, starting to realise their data... then you have 'ust not realise their data... then you have just got the _ realise their data... then you have just got the irony _ realise their data... then you have just got the irony of _ realise their data... then you have just got the irony of the _ realise their data... then you have just got the irony of the bbc i just got the irony of the bbc partnering with tiktok for eurovision. so it�*s almost like there is this push pull. we are mindful of the data it could mine, but equally, we can�*t ignore just how popular the actual app is. and just to establish, the partnering thing is that eurovision organisers have done a deal with tiktok to do with providing coverage. the bbc is involved in that sort of round circle, because
7:23 am
they are providing the pictures. it is not a direct deal as such, but they are in a package. tt is not a direct deal as such, but they are in a package. it highlights they are in a package. it highlights the potential— they are in a package. it highlights the potential reach _ they are in a package. it highlights the potential reach that _ they are in a package. it highlights the potential reach that tiktok i they are in a package. it highlights the potential reach that tiktok has two millions of people, notjust in europe, but all over the world. you can see that eurovision has tried to take advantage of the platform to get out to so many people. you take advantage of the platform to get out to so many people. you are a cybersecurity — get out to so many people. you are a cybersecurity expert. _ get out to so many people. you are a cybersecurity expert. so, _ get out to so many people. you are a cybersecurity expert. so, if _ get out to so many people. you are a cybersecurity expert. so, if we i get out to so many people. you are a cybersecurity expert. so, if we were i cybersecurity expert. so, if we were to look at your devices, which we are not to do, and look at the precautions you have taken over the years, that you have wised up to all these things, what would we find that you had done that we might be thinking, maybe i should do that? that is a good question. this comes down to how the apps... yes. that is a good question. this comes down to how the apps. . .— down to how the apps... yes, but what have — down to how the apps... yes, but what have you — down to how the apps... yes, but what have you done?! _ what have you done?! have you deleted any apps, changed settings? t have you deleted any apps, changed settinas? ., �* ., ,, ., have you deleted any apps, changed settinas? ., �* ., ~ ., , settings? i don't have tiktok on my hone. settings? i don't have tiktok on my phone- for— settings? i don't have tiktok on my phone. for what _ settings? i don't have tiktok on my phone. for what reason? _ settings? i don't have tiktok on my phone. for what reason? for i settings? i don't have tiktok on my phone. for what reason? for what i settings? i don't have tiktok on my i phone. for what reason? for what we are hearing — phone. for what reason? for what we are hearing about _ phone. for what reason? for what we are hearing about the _ phone. for what reason? for what we are hearing about the social _ are hearing about the social indications. however, i have a social media team that use tiktok

but it is interesting, isn�*t it? thank you! 25 and spa seven. —— 25 minutes past seven. as gp surgeries await the government�*s recovery plan, some practices are coming up with new ways to tackle old problems, like patients accessing appointments. 0ur health reporter lucy watkinson has been to visit one surgery that has introduced solutions it says are working for both patients and staff. the old—fashioned model of everyone just having one clinician, one patient in one room being seen, simply can�*t cope with the level of need and demand that�*s out there. dr tim norbury loves going to work. he�*s making changes to his gp practice that seems to be making a difference. staff and patients agree. we deal with everything on the day. i've got no complaints at all. the doctors are not really in charge any more in the same way. the consultation just takes as long as it needs. i absolutely love it. 0k.
7:26 am
you�*ve been having nothing has to do with your circulation. tucked alongside the m5 is taunton vale surgery�*s clinical hub. but it is controlling your blood pressure very well. gps, paramedics and a nurse practitioner are working their way through the list of patients, deciding who needs a call or a face to face appointment. it�*s 5pm on a tuesday afternoon. so, we�*re over 300 now. from a list like that of 300, we�*d typically find somewhere between 20 and 30 will have needed to come for face to face appointment. when patients contact their surgery, they�*re often thinking, i need to see a doctor, but they don�*t really mean that. what they actually mean is, i�*ve got a health care need or health care problem, and i really want someone to help me with that. so, all the ones crossed out are ones that have already been dealt with. and they do that here. around ten patient service advisors receive calls, emails, photos and texts from patients all day. there�*s no bottleneck for appointments here. we�*ve all been there at eight o�*clock in the morning, desperately trying
7:27 am
to get through to the surgery, constantly pressing redial on our phones. here, there�*s no need. and patients know when they ring the surgery, it might not be a doctor that they get to see or speak to. i think gps are amazing. we've got a lot to offer. but there are other members of our team who can do things as well as, or better, than we can. it�*s that flexibility that has kept dr lisa holman working in the nhs after she was on the verge of leaving. yeah, i was certainly close to being burnt out. she�*s carved out a new full—time role, split between seeing patients in the community and in the hub. i'm really enjoying it at the moment. i think the most exciting thing is looking to create a legacy. we've now got gp trainees coming to work with us, who are coming to the homeless clinics with me, they're coming to the care homes, and so things that i've learnt right at the end of my career, they're going to be starting off with. how often have you been feeling i like you wanted to take your life? when we were filming back in the hub, caroline simms took
7:28 am
a call from a 14—year—old girl. the girl was being bullied at school. caroline was able to refer her directly to a mental health team, who are now contacting her daily. i do about ten, 15 mental health calls a day, and out of them i there might be two or three i that want to take their own life. we don't have an algorithm that we follow. _ this is all from our training i and our knowledge, and if we're not sure, we just give it back to the gp. - so i can do a full consultation, | speak to the gp and say, look, this is what i think is, i'm noti 100% sure of my consultation, will you take over, please? and they will. we'll sort that out for you and we'll text it to you when it's ready. the office manager says, despite having over 3,000 people on their books, patients on the whole seem more understanding. they've got more confidence in the system, and they're actually nicer to the staff that they're speaking to in the first instance because they're not demanding face to face appointments. you come into medicine to make
7:29 am
a difference to people, and i�*m probably doing that more now than i ever have done. we can admit them quicker. we can get an ambulance quicker, we can get the antibiotics - to them quicker. it will work. i if only people give it. a chance, it will work. i love it. - absolutely love it. there�*s still room to improve, and it�*s not cheaper to run. but all in all, this particular approach seems to be working for these patients and staff in this practice. lucy watkinson, bbc news, taunton. it is something that affects everyone, figuring out how to make the system better and get better access to gps. still to come on breakfast... this is a landscape being returned to wilderness. sir david attenborough has been giving us a closer look at the beauty on our own doorstep. we�*ll have the latest from the wild isles series exploring the uk�*s rich landscapes
7:30 am
at around ten to eight this morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, with me, alison earle. the funeral of a woman who died during a crush at brixton academy will take place today. rebecca ikumelo from east london was critically injured when a "large number of people" tried to get into a concert by asake in december. security guard gaby hutchinson also died. a third person is still seriously ill more than three months on. investigations have begun into two separate fires yesterday in central london. the first broke out at a hotel on craven road in paddington and took 70 firefighters two hours to bring under control. crews also attended a fire at a restaurant in belgravia. two people were rescued from a flat above. some of the world�*s best—known

museums have joined forces to build what they describe as a "groundbreaking" database featuring all the specimens in their collections. they include london�*s natural history museum and royal botanic gardens at kew, which have linked up with 73 organisations from 27 countries. the aim is to help find solutions to issues like climate change and conservation. visitors to westminster abbey will be allowed to stand for the first time in the exact spot where the king will be crowned — but only in socks. special guided tours will be held in celebration of the coronation in may and include access to the cosmati pavement — an intricate mosaic floor which has been part of the ceremony for 700 years. the only catch — you have to remove your shoes to help protect the ancient tiles. to remove your shoes to help this to remove your shoes to help is where special serv major this is where special services and major services take place, and for normal visiting the area is completely roped off, but we just think, as part of the celebration of
7:32 am
the coronation, we want to allow a few people access onto the pavement to see what it�*s really like. and also you�*ll be able to see the pavement itself in great detail. it's pavement itself in great detail. it�*s a masterpiece, it�*s been there since 1268, it�*s really lovely. travel now, and let�*s see how tfl services are faring. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello, there, good morning. it�*s a day of sunny spells, but also some rather heavy, blustery showers across the capital. so typical spring weather — it certainly is going to be very changeable indeed. but it�*s a frost—free start to the day, it�*s a mild start with some sunshine around. we�*ll see most of the showers get going as we head through the late morning and into the afternoon — they could be heavy and thundery, there could be some lightning and some hail around at times, too. but the showers will rattle through really very quickly on this very brisk south—westerly wind. it�*s quite gusty again, but it�*s mild out there — temperatures will peak at around 14 or 15 degrees celsius, which is above the seasonal average. 0vernight tonight, a lot of the showers will tend to fade away, it�*s another mild start
7:33 am
to the weekend. and we are still in that mild air on saturday. a few showers, but not as many as today. we�*ll keep the strength of that south—westerly—to—westerly wind, and there will be some rain to start sunday. it will turn colder. there�*s lots more on our website and social media — including a special investigation into illegal vapes and how easy it is to get hold of them. that�*s it for now, i�*ll be back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. ask any teacher or head teacher and they�*ll tell you that an 0fsted inspection is one of the most stressful things they can go through at work. for many parents, however, the 0fsted rating is a crucial piece of information when choosing schools. now teaching unions are calling for the inspections to be

7:44 am
ahead of, wayne rooney, jimmy greaves, michael owen, all great goal—scorers, but nobody as good as yet now as harry kane. sit goals and he is still only 29. notjust a record—breaking night, but also for england. the record made all the sweeter by the fact the team dug deepin sweeter by the fact the team dug deep in the second half to hold out for their first win away in italy in some 62 years. it gets their euro 2024 qualifying campaign off to the best possible start against their main rivals in their group. jane dougall reports. at 29 years old, harry kane has ample time to add to his impressive international career. for now, he's england's record goal—scorer. the fans crowding into the diego armando maradona stadium seemed to know they might witness history. kane didn't get the first, but he tried. kane — blocked. follow—up in! declan rice with a rebound. just before half—time, an italian handball in the box and the penalty—taker, harry kane, had his chance. england penalty.
7:45 am
the last time he took one of these for england, he missed — and they went out of the world cup. would his nerves hold? and there is his immortal moment! his 54th goal for england. ecstatic to be his country's record goal—scorer. but italy are the european champions, and fought back in the second half. a late red card for luke shaw didn't help italy — defeated by england for the first time in 11 years. england have won in italy. breaking the goal—scoring record, of course, would have been a proud moment, no matter the circumstance, but...for sure it's always that little bit sweeter when you win. and, like i touched on, to win ourfirst game here in italy against italy for a long, long time, so... amazing, amazing night. to break the record in the manner he did, given the recent history, was an indication of his strength of character and his mentality. and, yeah, i couldn't be happier for him and his family — they're lovely people. he...is a brilliant professional.
7:46 am
and to do it as quickly as he has, as well, with still — you know, a lot of his career still to go, is an incredible achievement. this stadium has been the setting for so many great moments, and has been graced by the best footballers in the world — not least its namesake. but last night, the diego armando maradona stadium belonged to harry kane — england's record goal—scorer. jane dougall, bbc news, naples. and afterwards kane was shown just how important he is to teamates. he is an all—round superstar, so important all over the pitch — as captain and now record goal scorer, and at 29 will continue to push the tally much higher. and there's something to hang over the mantelpiece at kane's home. a night he will never forget. well, even before the match was over,
7:47 am
the person kane overtook in the record books — wayne rooney — paid tribute to the england striker on breaking his scoring record. rooney tweeted congratulations to kane — saying, "i knew it wouldn't take long, but that was quick. great man, unbelievable goalscorer and an england legend. congrats, harry." one sour note for the fa and uefa to potentially look into. before the game, there were clashes between a number of england fans and italian police. some england fans told the bbc crew in naples that they were charged at by police and struck with batons when trying to enter the stadium. the fa had said 23 coaches would be used to take supporters from a station in the city to within 100 yards of the ground, but it's understood the journey — which should have taken 20 minutes — took an hour and a half, and then fans say there was a lack of communication. there was complete confusion over what should happen next with the police. joint top scorer in the euro qualifiers after the first games is bolton wanderers dion charles, who got two for northern ireland as they also got off
7:48 am
to a winning start. yes, their opponents san marino are officially the lowest—ranked international side, so no surprise at the result — but it was 2—0 win, thanks to charles, with his first goals for his country. and it's the best start for manager michael o'neill. his second spell in charge. northern ireland now host finland on sunday. scotla nd scotland and wales kick off their european campaigns tomorrow. this morning it is all about harry kane. you have to celebrate this good thing. you have to celebrate this good thin. ~ . , ., , you have to celebrate this good thin. ~ . . . , ., you have to celebrate this good thin. . . , ., , ., thing. with a penalty, how fit in? just over a _ thing. with a penalty, how fit in? just over a hundred _ thing. with a penalty, how fit in? just over a hundred days - thing. with a penalty, how fit in? just over a hundred days since i thing. with a penalty, how fit in? j just over a hundred days since he missed the penalty in the world cup against france. he missed the penalty in the world cup against france.— against france. he has made up for it now. congratulations. _ against france. he has made up for it now. congratulations. if- against france. he has made up for it now. congratulations. if you i against france. he has made up for it now. congratulations. if you saw| it now. congratulations. if you saw me looking — it now. congratulations. if you saw me looking the _ it now. congratulations. if you saw me looking the other— it now. congratulations. if you saw me looking the other way - it now. congratulations. if you saw me looking the other way i - it now. congratulations. if you saw me looking the other way i was i me looking the other way i was casting my eyes over wadhurst in east sussex. casting my eyes over wadhurst in east sussex— casting my eyes over wadhurst in i east sussex.— we east sussex. why wouldn't you? we are there with _ east sussex. why wouldn't you? we are there with the _ east sussex. why wouldn't you? we are there with the weather. - east sussex. why wouldn't you? we are there with the weather. we i east sussex. why wouldn't you? we are there with the weather. we are l are there with the weather. we are

7:50 am
up equally some heavy showers bubbling up through the course of the day and if you catch one it could be heavy and thundery, some hail mixed in, but blowing through and that brisk south—westerly wind which could cost up south—westerly wind which could cost up to about 50 mph. further north of the winds across scotland will be lighter, so the showers here will be slow moving if you do get one or two. temperatures up to between 10 or m degrees, could see 15 across parts of eastern england. northern ireland will turn windy and showers through this evening, and overnight blustery showers moving their way through across many parts of the uk. clearest through across many parts of the uk. clea rest skies to through across many parts of the uk. clearest skies to the far south but it will be frost—free with temperatures between five and 8 degrees on saturday morning. saturday is similar to today, another day of sunshine and blustery showers, could be a cloudy, drizzly site for some northern areas on saturday but brightening up through the day. temperatures down a notch on today so about ten to m degrees or so, on today so about ten to m degrees orso, but on today so about ten to m degrees or so, but turning colder across the north of scotland on saturday and that sets the scene for a colder night saturday night and into

sunday. we could even see a few wintry flurries across the higher ground by the time we get to sunday. don't forget the clocks are set to go forward by one hour at saturday night into the early hours of sunday. british summer time with us but things are looking fairly changeable in the weather over the next few days. typical spring, thank you very much. speaking of spring, why not look outside? sir david attenborough has taken us around the world but his most recent documentary we've seen up close the beauty on our own doorstep. this weekend wild isles explores our rich landscapes — and the creatures, both great and small, that live there. take a look. attenborough: he must deal with three challenges before she'll consider him. drumroll. first — boxing. to impress her, he must match her strength... ..but be careful not to hurt her. only if he can hold his own, will he be allowed to move to the next stage.

forecast. good morning. it's friday, the 2ath of march. our main story. the education watchdog ofsted says school inspections must continue, despite calls from unions and headteachers to pause them. it follows the death of a primary school head, ruth perry, who took her own life which, according to herfamily, was a direct result of pressure put on her by the ofsted inspection. speaking for the first time since the tragedy, 0fsted's chief inspector amanda spielman says she knows the process can be challenging, but that it remains in children's best interests. graham satchell reports. the death of ruth perry has devastated the education world. the headteacher of caversham primary school in reading took her own life after her school was downgraded from outstanding to inadequate. it has led to calls for ofsted inspections to be paused and radically reformed. in her first public statement since the death, 0fsted's chief inspector,
8:03 am
amanda spielman, said ruth perry's death was a tragedy. she goes on to defend the current system. the department for education in england and a protest by the national education union, carrying banners saying, �*replace 0fsted', and photographs of ruth perry. this is the latest part of their campaign to change the inspection process. they handed over a petition with more than 50,000 signatures. our members tell us that we need an inspection system that is fit for purpose. that we need an inspection system that doesn't judge schools on a single word ofjudgement based on a two—day visit. the criticism of the current system in england is long held, that its one—word judgement — outstanding, good, inadequate —
8:04 am
is too simplistic for the complex roles schools play in different communities. and the anxiety and stress of the inspections themselves has become unbearable. the pressure that we're put under, as we prepare for 0fsted inspections, is enormous. and alongside of the general stress of running state schools at the moment, i can absolutely see how some headteachers will be pushed to breaking point. in her statement, amanda spielman concludes by saying... the department for education in england say inspections in england remain hugely important because they hold schools to account for their educational standards. but teachers are determined that ruth perry's death must be a catalyst for change.

8:08 am
it says that it has sincerely apologised to flintoff, and that it'll continue to support him throughout his recovery. in a statement, it also says that, under the circumstances, it would be inappropriate to resume making the current series of top gear at this time, and that it will make a judgement about how best to continue later this year. three, two, one, go! there was also an initial inquiry by the health and safety executive into the incident. it said that it wouldn't be investigating further. lizo mzimba, bbc news. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, will hold talks with rishi sunak in downing street this morning. discussions are expected to focus on the war in ukraine and iran's nuclear programme, but the meeting is likely to be overshadowed by the continuing protests in israel, where mr netanyahu is pushing ahead with controversial reforms that would limit the power of the courts.

the governor of the bank of england, andrew bailey, has appealed to businesses to avoid price rises which further fuel inflation. it comes after this week's surprise increase in the rate of inflation, due largely to rising food prices and the subsequent interest rate hike announced by the bank of england. he told the bbc he was confident that there would be a sharp slowdown in the rise in the cost of living in the early summer, but warned that that inflationary pressures hadn't yet eased. china has said it would never ask any company to provide data or intelligence located in foreign countries. it comes after the boss of tiktok defended the app in the face of hostile questioning in the us congress. 0ur asia business correspondent nick marsh has been following developments from our hub in singapore. good morning. people will have

watched, maybe some of the testimony yesterday, the questions and answers around tiktok and how it operates. what are we learning from china? what are we learning from china? what has been said?— what has been said? yeah, good morninu. what has been said? yeah, good morning- that — what has been said? yeah, good morning. that congressional i what has been said? yeah, good i morning. that congressional hearing that you just referred to got pretty heated. there was some political grandstanding from the us politicians in washington. but it shows you the depth of feeling that tiktok is inspiring right now. and basically it boils down to two superpowers. you have got the us on one side and china on the other. both are ardently defending their national security interests. tiktok is caught in the middle. 0n the one side you have the us saying, you can't trust tiktok, it is owned by a chinese comedy. the chinese government says, we want all this data you have —— what if the chinese, and said, we want all the
8:11 am
data you have an american companies? you have to ban it. tiktok say that is not true. we are arm's—length. we are not even based in china. china has said this is a complete xenophobic witchhunt. so we are going to have to see what happens. a ban is looking more likely. thank ou. a council leader is set to resign after giving the go ahead for more than 100 trees to be chopped down overnight in plymouth. conservative leader, richard bingley, will face a vote of no confidence after he signed off on the tree felling to make way for a town centre redevelopment plan. campaigners against the scheme won a court injunction to stop the work 11 minutes past eight. if you didn't manage to bag tickets for the eurovision song contest this year, it's just been announced that you'll be able to watch it live at the cinema. fans have been encouraged to don their best fancy dress for the occasion.

8:16 am
centuries ago. an extraordinary period. health care has been taking place on this site with great, enormous changes, especially in later years, ever since then. we are in the atrium, which looks absolutely fantastic this morning, in the reception. they have got a wonderful cake year to mark the celebrations. and cupcakes as well for the star. apparently they will need about 2500 of those, so the beggars have been hard at work, as you can imagine, getting things ready for the celebrations. it is a place that is extremely proud of that or suspicious history. but also is very a basis for the future. —— very ambitious. the story of st bartholomew's hospital is the story of health care itself. created by rahere, a monk, to look after the sick of east london who were too poor to afford treatment, this deed — written in latin and preserved in the hospital archive — denotes its foundation in 1123. and nine centuries on,
8:17 am
it's still providing care, despite infrequent obstacles — such as henry viii's dissolution of the monasteries cancelling its income. but, following a concerted campaign, bart's was saved — a decision signed off by the king himself. we know that this was issued a couple of weeks before henry died, so i don't know if he'd been worn down in his illness. and there was also, actually, a lot of concern kind of in terms of public health about infectious disease, about plague, about syphilis — which was quite a new illness. and there's reference to the kind of the sick poor lying in the streets who need somewhere to be cared for. so this is probably our most advanced bit of equipment in the radiotherapy department. so this is called a cyberknife, and it's a fusion of robotics with radiotherapy technology. these days, the hospital provides some of the best cardiac and cancer care in modern medicine. if you select the patient very
8:18 am
carefully, you can use this type of machine to deliver radiotherapy with pinpoint accuracy to essentially ablate — to destroy — that spot of disease within the patient's body, whether it's in their liver, theirlung, theirspine. and we've seen some great results come from using this type of treatment. andy is on his 2ath visit for radiotherapy for prostate cancer. what a way to celebrate a birthday! i had a diagnosis five years ago. wow. i had a prostatectomy then, and so i've been monitored by the nhs ever since, and last year it reached the level which triggered the suggestion of further treatment. so... then this machine comes into play. i don't think you could get anything much better, could you? no, well, that's what i'm saying, yeah. i mean, i think this unit is 12 years old, i think this machine's only a couple of years old. and so they look after us. good, good. and happy birthday. thank you very much. and many more to come! let's hope so! the most important thing. let's hope so! many more to come. great stuff. bart's was visited recently by the king.
8:19 am
among those he met was nell bhadresha — a survivor of what's known as triple—negative breast cancer. aggressive — and, until recently, survival was unlikely. but staff here are helping to change that. and nell has been given the all—clear. cancer to me felt like a death sentence. i was devastated. beyond devastated — i was shattered — everything, my world imploded. but the one thing that i latched onto was my oncologist, because she was so... ..honest and hopeful, and she used the word "curable" in my meeting. and it wasn't something i was expecting. but if she thinks that there's hope that i can do this, that i can do this, and that's what i latched onto. along with its long history, the hospital has ambitious plans for the future. a new breast—cancer centre that will bring all aspects of treatment under one roof. the dream is to make myjob go away. that we have such effective ways of diagnosing cancer
8:20 am
and breast cancer early — and treated well — that ultimately, in the future, if a patient comes through the door, we can, rather than saying what we do at the moment — "we can treat you extremely well, we hope you're most likely cured at the end" — my dream would be to be able to say "you will be cured". that's still a big step away. for staff working here — sometimes across various sites — it's a game—changer. super locating everything onto one site means we've got access — all those patients have equal access to research opportunities. even if there's not a trial applicable to them, they can donate their tissue into our tissue bank. that means that future generations of research proposals can pull on that tissue to be able to make more treatment opportunities for patients. also, the care would be more holistic, and waiting times reduced. waiting for scans, waiting to get treatment started, waiting for test results. actually, with the creation of the breast centre,
8:21 am
having everything under one roof will actually allow us to have more capacity and more leeway to actually be able to see patients a lot sooner. redevelopment work rarely stops in city—centre hospitals, but this is unique. one of the buildings has two huge paintings by the famous 18th—century artist william hogarth, which — in the future — will be open to the public, to patients, and to staff. the hospital areas are incredible technical clinical spaces, but what you have here is something different — a place that people can come and relax, unwind, can be an aid to recovery and reflection. so we want it to be as relevant now as it was when the building was first finished 300 years ago. it comes as no surprise that an institution that's lasted 900 years through fire, war, and political upheaval has done so because it looks notjust to the past, but also to the future.

good morning from bbc london, with me, alison earle. the funeral of a woman who died during a crush at brixton academy will take place today. rebecca ikumelo from east london was critically injured when a "large number of people" tried to get into a concert by asake in december. security guard gaby hutchinson also died. a third person is still seriously ill more than three months on. investigations have begun into two separate fires yesterday in central london. the first broke out at a hotel on craven road in paddington and took 70 firefighters two hours to bring under control. crews also attended a fire at a restaurant in belgravia. two people were rescued from a flat above. some of the world's best—known museums have joined forces to build what they describe as a "groundbreaking" database featuring all the specimens in their collections. they include london's natural history museum and royal botanic gardens at kew,

which have linked up with 73 organisations from 27 countries. the aim is to help find solutions to issues like climate change and conservation. visitors to westminster abbey will be allowed to stand for the first time in the exact spot where the king will be crowned — but only in socks. special guided tours will be held in celebration of the coronation in may and include access to the cosmati pavement — an intricate mosaic floor which has been part of the ceremony for 700 years. the only catch — you have to remove your shoes to help protect the ancient tiles. this is where special services and major services take place, and for normal visiting the area is completely roped off, but we just think, as part of the celebration of the coronation, we want to allow a few people access onto the pavement to see what it's really like. and also you'll be able to see the pavement itself in great detail. it's a masterpiece, it's been there since 1268,
8:30 am
it's really lovely. travel now, and let's see how tfl services are faring. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello, there, good morning. it's a day of sunny spells, but also some rather heavy, blustery showers across the capital. so typical spring weather — it certainly is going to be very changeable indeed. but it's a frost—free start to the day, it's a mild start with some sunshine around. we'll see most of the showers get going as we head through the late morning and into the afternoon — they could be heavy and thundery, there could be some lightning and some hail around at times, too. but the showers will rattle through really very quickly on this very brisk south—westerly wind. it's quite gusty again, but it's mild out there — temperatures will peak at around ia or 15 degrees celsius, which is above the seasonal average. overnight tonight, a lot of the showers will tend to fade away, it's another mild start to the weekend. and we are still in that mild air on saturday. a few showers, but not as many as today. we'll keep the strength of that south—westerly—to—westerly wind, and there will be some rain to start
8:31 am
sunday. it will turn colder. there's lots more on our website and social media — including a special investigation into illegal vapes and how easy it is to get hold of them. that's it for now, i'll be back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. let's return now to our main story — which concerns a growing rift between the teaching profession and the education watchdog ofsted. it follows the death of a primary school head — ruth perry — whose family say she took her own life a direct result of pressure put on her by an ofsted inspection. teaching unions are demanding all inspections are now paused while a more suitable system is developed. sir michael wilshaw is a former ofsted chief inspector — hejoins us now from london.
8:32 am
ofsted chief inspector — thank ofsted chief inspector — you very much forjoiningl this thank you very much forjoining us this morning. we have spoken to a couple of head teachers this morning and i think, regardless of whether they knew ruth perry, and one did very well, the emotions are very raw at this moment in time, and many teachers are kind of looking at what they do and the pressure of ofsted and many are saying they have had enough. what is your reaction was yellow i am sure emotions are raw. remember what skills and head teachers and teachers have been through over the last few years with the pandemic and through over the last few years with the pandemi— the pandemic and the problems surrounding _ the pandemic and the problems surrounding the _ the pandemic and the problems surrounding the pandemic - the pandemic and the problems surrounding the pandemic with | the pandemic and the problems - surrounding the pandemic with online learning, catch up programme and growing gap from disadvantaged background and it is getting worse. the problem is around both student and staff attendance. schools are
8:33 am
not in a great place at the moment and this is an additional pressure. all i would say to you, and two heads and teachers, is that despite all the problems, ofsted, i believe, has been a force for good over the last 30 years. yes, it does hold skills to account, but it has helped to raise standards, it has challenged schools to do better and it has challenged over the years government, as well, went ofsted as an independent inspectorate believes it is going wrong. and it has changed over the last 30 years and i am sure it will continue to change, and the great debate now is ready we continue with grades, and particularly that summary or overall effectiveness grade, or not, and there are problems in doing away with that which i think the next chief inspector will have to
8:34 am
address. because a judgment of god is what parents want to see, reports are written notjust for schools but for parents —— a judgment of good is what parents want to see. for parents -- a judgment of good is what parents want to see.— what parents want to see. parents want the best — what parents want to see. parents want the best for _ what parents want to see. parents want the best for their _ what parents want to see. parents want the best for their children. i want the best for their children. darren morgan, who was a head teacher here earlier, says he absolutely accepts that schools should be assessed, but the problem is there doesn't feel to be a partnership, he doesn't feel there is a partnership between the head teachers and ofsted. head teachers are given 2a hours notice, i understand, before an inspection. once thejudgment or the understand, before an inspection. once the judgment or the rating, the award, howeveryou once the judgment or the rating, the award, however you want to put it, has been decided upon, head teachers cannot tell their staff so they have to sit on this, and potentially sitting on devastating news that would have an impact on their staff and that pressure is unnecessarily high. what would you say to that?

that is something that ofsted will have to resolve. i have been seven years out of the inspection system, so i am not up to speed with the time limits after... but so i am not up to speed with the time limits after. . .— so i am not up to speed with the time limits after... but does that sound reasonable, _ time limits after... but does that sound reasonable, the _ time limits after... but does that sound reasonable, the time - time limits after... but does that sound reasonable, the time you | time limits after... but does that - sound reasonable, the time you have heard? ! sound reasonable, the time you have heard? ., sound reasonable, the time you have heard? . ., , , heard? i am not sure it is appropriate- _ heard? i am not sure it is appropriate. once - heard? i am not sure it is appropriate. once a - heard? i am not sure it is - appropriate. once a judgment is given, i think if i was a head, and i have been one, for more than 30 years, i would want particularly good news, iwould years, i would want particularly good news, i would like to tell my staff that ofsted have been in and given it a good judgment. so i don't see why there should be a pause between the judgment being given and communication to the governors and the staff. i don't see why that should be an issue. i come back to the central point, that ofsted has raised it has ensured that parents know what is happening in their children's school, and we are doing
8:36 am
better. if we look at the latest results for schools, they are remarkable. we have moved up the international league tables over the last few years. and i remember, because i was teaching in the 19705, how bad schools where, and bad in london, which is now the standout part of the uk. so ofsted has played a part in those improvements. yes, changes in the air and i suspect the debate over the next few months will be about grades and particularly in the summative grade at the end of an inspection. i the summative grade at the end of an insection. ., the summative grade at the end of an insection. . ,. inspection. i imagine the debate will also be _ inspection. i imagine the debate will also be on _ inspection. i imagine the debate will also be on how— inspection. i imagine the debate will also be on how to _ inspection. i imagine the debate will also be on how to make - inspection. i imagine the debate | will also be on how to make sure that ruth's death, which her family has set a part of a statement, we are in no doubt that ruth's death was a direct result of the pressure put on her process and outcome of ofsted inspection at her school. i imagine focus over the next few months, as you said, ofsted will be turning in on itself, looking inwards, is to make sure that another death does not occur.
8:37 am
absolutely. the department for education have applied to play here, as well. it is just ofsted. ofsted holds schools and other institutions to account —— it is notjust ofsted. ofsted ensures that the framework for inspection are vigorous and fair and that the quality of the inspectors is good and that it listens to what head teachers and governors are saying about inspection. i have to say, that when you have five secretaries of state for education in the last year alone and about nine or ten over the last eight or nine years, it does not help the inspectorate to work closely with their employers, the department for education. and i think we need a secretary of state to remain in post for a number of years to work with ofsted on the changes that will be necessary after

8:40 am
hurricane was shown just how important he is to his team—mates. an all—round superstar, all over the pitch as captain, and now record goal—scorer, as well. some things to take home, souvenirs on the table, some cuddly lions in the middle, i think we saw. and this, something to hang over the mantelpiece at his home on a night he will never forget. breaking the goal—scoring record, of course, would've been a proud moment, no matter the circumstance but... ..for sure, it feels that little bit sweeter when you win. and, like i touched on, to win our first game here in italy, against italy, for a long, long time so... amazing, amazing night and... yeah, overall, just a really tough game. you know, the penalty — it had to be a penalty, i had a feeling it would! but, you know, that's why you practise, that's why you keep your head down and work hard for those moments and, you know, i prepared well for it and, thankfully, put it away. you could see right— from the beginning of the game, he was really on it. to break the record in the manner i he did, given the recent history, i was an indication of his strength
8:41 am
i of character and his mentality. i and, yeah, i couldn't be happier for him and his family — - they're lovely people. he...is a brilliant professional. and to do it as quickly as he has, as well, with still — _ you know, a lot of his career still to go, is an _ incredible achievement. well, even before the match was over — the person kane overtook in the record books — wayne rooney — paid tribute to the england striker on breaking his scoring record. rooney tweeted congratulations to kane... now northern ireland also got off to a winning start, as michael o'neill�*s second spell in charge ended in victory, albeit against the worst national team in the world. yes, san marino are officially the lowest—ranked international side, so no surprise at the result — a 2—0 win. bolton's dion charles scored both goals — his first for his country — so he's the competition's joint

8:46 am
showers around. across the uk that will be the story. we will see a changeable sort of day, blustery showers and sunny spells. a bit of sunshine is this way for southern, central and eastern parts of england and wales but we have more cloud already across parts of scotland and northern ireland. through the day, as things start to warm up, we will see some heavy showers bubbling up and some will bring hail, thunderstorms. they will move through swiftly on that brisk wind that will blow in from the south—west, so 45 mph, 50 mph gusts could cause disruption. temperatures on the mild side for the stage in march, route between ten to 15 degrees most, cooler across the fun of scotland. this evening and overnight we will continue to see brisk winds driving in rush hours, more cloud around. it will be an mild frost—free at night so temperatures between about five to 8 degrees to 8 degrees to start off your saturday morning. saturday brings us a bit more of the same.
8:47 am
another day of sunny spells with heavy blustery showers. showers tomorrow not as frequent and heavy as they will be today. still slow—moving showers across parts of scotland and northern ireland, and temperatures a bit down on today, looking at about ten to 1a degrees, colder again across the north of scotland on saturday and that colder air will start to sink south on sunday. a few wintry showers around in the north on sunday and don't forget the clocks go forward by one hour on sunday night. thank you. you know what i loved about seeing sarah's? we see her picture without the graphics aren't. so busy. they were refuse collectors, schoolchildren going to work, back and forth, everyone is really busy. work, back and forth, everyone is really busy-— really busy. morning life, everything _ really busy. morning life, everything going - really busy. morning life, everything going on. - many people will see their mobile phone and broadband bills rise from next week as providers boost their charges in line with inflation. but is there anything we can do about it? hannah's been looking
8:48 am
into this for us. you have a guest with you because these numbers... these are serious rises. you will really notice the difference. prices keep going up and up and we will talk about what you can actually do about it. by now you should nowjust how much your bills are going up by, likely to come into effect next saturday, april the 15t. 02 have the most eye—catching increase, about 17%, while tesco mobile, who previously froze contract prices, are also increasing monthly bills by more than 14%. 02 say it doesn't apply to the whole of a bill, so monthly increases will be effectively lower. the price rise could well apply to your broadband contract, too, which for customers of many of the major providers will mean bills going up by at least 14%. now you might be wondering whether this is allowed. the answer is yes, if it's included in the terms and conditions when you sign up to the contract. the price rise is usually based around inflation —
8:49 am
