1:31 pm
low pressure slowly starts moving eastwards into the north sea but there will be showers pretty widely overnight and it will remain breezy. a frost free nights with temperatures between 4—9 celsius. the weekend is going to be dominated by that low pressure. it might be moving out of the way but still close enough to bring in some showers. more rain on the way for the second half of the weekend. saturday's forecast, another showery day with a greater chance of seeing showers across northern ireland, parts of northern england, the midlands and east anglia. across wales and south—west england the weather should become drier through the afternoon as pressure rises with a bit more sunshine to end the day. temperatures for most still on the mild side but the second half of the weekend sees some cooler air arriving across the north of the uk whereas in the south we have low pressure moving in, bringing a zone of rain across parts of england and wales. further north, we will see shower starting to turn wintry in that colder air across northern

1:33 pm
good afternoon. here's your latest sports news. england's euro 2024 qualifying campaign may have got off to a good start with a win, but manager gareth southgate says they have to follow it up by beating ukraine on sunday. the 2—1 victory in naples was the first away win against italy for more than 60 years. but it will be remembered for the work of one man, captain harry kane, who became the country's leading goal scorer, as 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 goalscorer. 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 the rebound. just before half—time, an italian handball in the box and the penalty—taker,
1:34 pm
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 goalscorer. 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 feels 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.
1:35 pm
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 goalscorer. jane dougall, bbc news, naples. well, this morning, he has thanked his team—mates, his family and his fans in a video on social media. he said it feels really special. meanwhile, tributes have been coming in from england goal—scorers past and present. kane overtook wayne rooney in the record books — he reckons the 29—year—old could push the tally to 70 goals.
1:36 pm
he paid tribute to the england striker saying, "i knew it wouldn't take too long, but that was quick. "congratulations harry." gary lineker also paid his tributes, calling it a "wonderful achievement" for kane , while alan shearer also said "congratulations, harry kane, england's all—time record scorer there was also reaction from the lionesses' all—time record goal—scorer ellen white — "huge congratulations harry kane". joint top scorer in the euro qualifiers, after the first game, is bolton wanderers dion charles, who got two for northern ireland as they also got off to a winning start. san marino are officially the lowest ranked international side, but northern ireland secured a 2—0 win and a great start for manager michael o'neill, in his second spell in charge. they now host finland on sunday. we're trying to obviously mount a campaign that we can qualify in, but we're obviously trying to build a team going forward, as well. i think the performance was positive in a lot of areas. there's areas we need to work on, but our play and our structural team was good. the boys tried to do what we've worked on this week. we've only had three days' preparation, so for them to deal with a new coaching staff and everything, i think their application has been terrific
1:37 pm
right through the squad and obviously the performance, i think, was a demonstration of that. it wasn'tjust harry kane breaking records — cristiano ronaldo also put his name in the history books helping his national side, portugal, to victory. a 197th appearance means he became men's football's most capped international, and he marked the occasion by scoring twice in a 4—0 win against lichtenstein. that's also a record extending 120 goals, too. there was another milestone for lionel messi, too. he scored his 800th career goal in argentina's 2—0 friendly win over panama in their first match since winning the world cup. it was a free kick a minute from time in buenos aires and his 99th for his country. wales are in croatia for their qualifier tomorrow, whilst scotland are preparing to take on cyrpus at hamden. manager steve clarke has today agreed to remain as manager of the mens team until 2026.
1:38 pm
clarke, who's now 59, took over from alex mcleish in 2019 and led the side to the euro 2020 finals. leeds united have closed their elland road stadium "following reports of a security threat to the premises". police say, "investigations are currently ongoing to establish the credibility of that threat." leeds united say, "offices, ticket office, foundation offices and club shop at elland road will be closed until further notice on the advice of the police." the premier league club has sent staff home because of the incident. uk athletics says it welcomes yesterday's decision by the world governing body to ban transgender women from competing in the female category at international events. in a statement today, uk athletics said "in principle, we support and welcome the direction they have taken in protecting the female category. "we remain committed to continuing to work to maintain the inclusivity of our sport and ensure that transgender women are able to continue to compete whilst
1:39 pm
respecting these rules." the british pair, lilah fear and lewis gibson, are in contention to win an ice dance medal at the world figure skating championships in japan. they were runners—up at the european championships injanuary and finished in fourth place in this morning's rhythm dance section of the competion. they will go for a medal in the free dance early tomorrow morning. the last british medal came in 1984 when jane torvill and christopher dean won ice dance gold. you can see how they get on across the bbc, including the iplayer and bbc sport website. rory mcilroy made a winning start at the match play championship but it took a head for heights to get there... ..with his bail perched on the edge of a rocky cliff... ..on the 9th hole in austin, texas. he seems oblivious to the drop to his right, as he took his time working out his angles and distance, and almost managed to find the hole. he did go on to win his match against denny mccarthy. matt fitzpatrick kept alive his hopes of reaching
1:40 pm
the knockout stage by beating australian min woo lee. the us open champion must beat sahith theegala on friday and hope other results go his way to set up a three—way play—off. and that's all the sport for now. some of us are old enough to remember watching torvill and dean at the _ remember watching torvill and dean at the time. 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. our midlands correspondent
1:41 pm
phil mackie has more. hey, morning. welcome. 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. opened 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.
1:42 pm
luke trainor suffered years of addiction. 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.
1:43 pm
it gives them a chance to get together, but also to share their experiences. 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.
1:44 pm
the headlines on bbc news... school inspections in england will continue, despite calls for a pause following the death of headteacher the head of ofsted says stopping the visits would be against children's best interests. the state visit to france by king charles has been postponed after protests on their change to pension aiding france ten violence. it's time to look at some of the other stories making the news today across the uk. we start in northern ireland, where a pilot scheme has been introduced in strangford lough to protect seagrass, which is believed to absorb carbon better than trees.
1:45 pm
traditional mooring systems can damage the plant so a new scheme is underway to help it thrive while not interfering with lough users. our reporter cormac campbell has more. what lies beneath. in strangford lough, a project aiming to protect sea grass on the sea bed is under way. where there is traditional mooring systems, those chains can scar the bottom of the sea bed and get rid of the seagrass. so, what we're doing today as we are out surveying to new advanced mooring systems to see which ones are best for strangford lough. so we are hoping that these two new systems will lift the chain off the sea bed and allow the seagrass to recover, and that will allow all the biodiversity to rush back in. a team of divers recently inspected some of the trial moorings.
1:46 pm
we are looking at checking all the chains and making sure they are ok. we found out there was a few pieces missing, so we replaced that, and carried on with the inspection. you have an objective to do when you get down there, so most of the time your mind is focused on what the task is and not what is around you. but it is nice, from time to time, to look around and take in the natural environment. usually, in ireland, it is a basking shark or seals, a couple of the main ones we have around here, but you can see loads of different types of wildlife down there, and some look friendly and some don't look too friendly. this pilot scheme is set to continue for a number of years. after that, it is hoped the most suitable mooring system can be installed right across the lough, protecting nature and way of life. cormac campbell, bbc newsline, strangford lough. parents in bristol are planning to take legal action — after the criteria for getting an autism diagnosis changed. the nhs says it's brought

1:51 pm
building, which is important to the village and has been at the centre of village life, we think, for about 1000 years, not this building, but previous buildings on this site. so it's important to us that we were able to find a new use for it. this is the third church on this site. and in 1884, as you can see from this plaque here, money was given towards the rebuilding of the church, which cost £1800 in those days. hudswell already has a community—run shop and pub, and it's hoped the church hostel will boost the local economy after a tough few years. covid. electricity. energy. fuel costs. you know, the price of beer has just gone up again. i think it will really sort of bump the village up and bump business up as well. the actual churchyard itself, the graveyard is going to remain as part of the church holdings and so it will remain an active churchyard. and you get this lovely panoramic view across the whole of swaledale.
1:52 pm
but this small area here outside of the back of the vestry will be able to turn it into a small patio. we're going to construct a mezzanine floor which will come halfway across. so there'll be some rooms up there, three bedrooms up there, and then three other bedrooms below down here. each bedroom will have its own little en suite, shower room and toilet. we're going to use the pews to convert them into bunk beds. after an initial grant of £50,000 from the yorkshire dales national park, now the challenge is on to raise over a million pounds to make the conversion a reality. 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.
1:53 pm
our 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. ok, you've been having some tests 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
1:54 pm
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 a 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 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
1:55 pm
as well as, or better, than we can. it's that flexibility that has kept dr lisa horman 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 syms took 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 - there might be two or three - that want to take their own life.
1:56 pm
we don't have an algorithm that we follow. _ this is all from our training - 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 notl 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 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. if only people give it. a chance, it will work. i love it. - absolutely love it. there's still room to improve,
1:57 pm
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. hello, we had some stunning aurora weather watcher pictures sent to us last night. it was spotted quite far south, even in parts of southern england. today is a day of sunshine and showers. more rain around, and those rainfall totals continue to tot up. it is already been a very wet month. some places of scene almost double the march rainfall already. on the radar picture, we can seejust already. on the radar picture, we can see just how widespread today's showers are, with more general rain pushing into northern ireland, closest to our centre of low
