mr kwarteng did not respond. children as young as eight are being strip—searched, according to findings from the children's commissioner, the sunday times reports. almost 3000 young people in england and wales have been targeted in the past four years, with black boys accounting for 37% of all cases. and have you ever sniffed someone else's sweat? what a question for 20 past six! swedish researchers think it could be useful for people with social anxiety because of its potentially calming effect. but you may want to hold off for now as it's too soon to say if they are right. i think ithinki i think i will hold off, if that's all right. i i think i will hold off, if that's all riuht. ., �* i think i will hold off, if that's all riht. ., �* ,, ., i think i will hold off, if that's allriuht. ,, ., ., i think i will hold off, if that's all riht. ., �* ,, ., ., ., all right. i don't know how that would work. _ all right. i don't know how that would work. i— all right. i don't know how that would work. i mean, _ all right. i don't know how that would work. i mean, is- all right. i don't know how that would work. i mean, is it - all right. i don't know how that would work. i mean, is it kind| all right. i don't know how that i would work. i mean, is it kind of all right. i don't know how that . would work. i mean, is it kind of a smelling salt kind of thing? will it knock you out? a calming effect? to be confirmed. i don't know. i would

and mix it up, like maybe shake it all something, and there you go. the inventors say this is great because it removes the need for heavy crates and bottles. much lighter to transport around the world. it says it is prepared into a water—soluble beer granules but the interesting thing is there is no alcohol in it which depending, you know, you may like it that way. they say in the next step they will add the alcohol powder so you get the real deal in a packet. i don't know if there is a whole sort of thing to drink to be able to have the bottle and the art and science behind it, notjust knocking up a beer in your kitchen. i am not sure powdered beer would do it for me. let's go back to our top story now and that devastating tornado which has hit the us state of mississippi. ross reily is a journalist with the clarion ledger newspaper. he spent the day in the town

throw, wales found the extraordinary. a late equaliser through nathan broadhead, 18 years old, he plays for ligue1 ipswich town. in life after their leader, a debut hero had emerged, and well showed that they are still resilient. scotland, too, look to start on a hopeful note. their first match was much win against that group's lower strength side. but john mcginn broke through cyprus and more goals came later on. scott mctominay scored twice and scotland one and three nil with spain to come next with greater tests. but scotland, lake wales, have made a start and a sound. joe lynskey, bbc news. manchester united are top of the women's super league this morning after beating west ham 4—0. lucia garcia scored twice. united are a point ahead of chelsea, who travel to fellow title challengers manchester city today.

the game was played in front of almost 28,000 fans at old trafford as part of women's football weekend. arsenal continued their title challenge with a 5—1 north london derby success at tottenham. frida maanum rounding off the scoring 15 minutes from time. at lunchtime today, second—placed chelsea take on man city in fourth. england got off to a flyer in the women's six nations, hammering scotland 58—7. a brilliant send off for stalwart sarah hunter as she retires from rugby. marlie packer bagged a hat—trick of tries as the red roses put 10 past scotland. amy cokayne and claudia macdonald adding two each on what was sarah hunter's final game, retiring in her home town in front of her family on her 141st appearance for england. shared joy, you know? and prayed to have played for this amazing team, over the years. ifeel so

have played for this amazing team, over the years. i feel so lucky and privileged that i have been a part of it for so long and the girls have been brilliant this week. i have had the best week. i have enjoyed it. to come out here and played home in front of this amazing crowd and put on a performance like that, itjust, yes, itjust means everything. an incredible careerfor an incredible career for her. wales also kicked off their campaign in emphatic fashion, beating ireland 31—5 in cardiff. captain hannahjones scored the try of the game but it was sisilia tuipulotu who stole the show on her first cap, winning player of the match and unable to hold back the emotion as her parents watched on. saracens guaranteed themselves a home tie in the premiership semifinals with a pulsating win over harlequins at the tottenham hotspur stadium. the afternoon was soured a little by the sight of owen farrell limping off the field in the second half with what looked to be a nasty ankle injury. by that stage, he'd played a key role in saracens' impressive victory, in which they scored five tries. farrell kicked 15 points as the table—toppers won by 36 points to 24.

london irish moved up to fourth in the premiership after their sixth win in seven matches. the exiles ran in four tries for a bonus point victory against northampton during which the league's top scorer, paddyjackson, passed 200 points for the season. elsewhere, leicester beat bristol. in super league, leeds rhinos ended catalan dragons' unbeaten start to the season, staging a great comeback to win 32—22 at headingley. despite falling behind to a 14—point lead at the break, leeds fought back. harry newman sealing the victory with one of five second—half tries, touching down in between the sticks late on to put the game beyond the reach of the dragons. lawrence 0kolie successfully defended his wbc cruiserweight title against david light in manchester. 0kolie dominated the fight to register his 19th professional win against the previously unbeaten kiwi. the british boxer landed some heavy shots towards the end of the fight as he secured a unanimous victory on his return to the sport after more than a year out of the ring.

of the stingless jellyfish. humans are not part of their diet, so you're fine. this week i'm in the philippines, on the island of siargao, some 700 kilometres south—east of the country's capital manila. named after a native mangrove, the island became famous for its surfing scene, considered the best in the philippines.

but the main draw for many is siargao's largely unspoilt natural environment. and when you are zipping around on a bike it's easy to see how stunning this place is. in 2019 siargao was voted the best island in asia, and was dubbed the next bali, with plans for further development on the horizon. in december 2021, everything changed. category 5 super typhoon odette hit the island off—guard, with wind speeds of up to 195km/h. these winds caused huge amounts of damage, while storm surges flooded coastal areas.

oh my gosh. so it has been a little over a year since super typhoon odette hit this island, but you can still see the scars. it has been a tough time for the islanders, who are so heavily reliant on tourism. visitor numbers have almost halved since 2019, following the double whammy of the global pandemic and the typhoon. but the industry is slowly recovering, and developing new and resilient tourism strategies. this farm offers visitors the chance to learn how the island is evolving. siargao relies heavily on food imports, so wants to grow more of its own crops.

and tourists who want to try something away from the beaches get tojoin in. the tour company we have created is called lokal experience, so it's all about experiencing the local livelihoods and the local ways of life, and part of it that they really enjoy is they really get to interact the locals, people like our farmers who spearhead the tours, heartheirstories, hear about our lives. we will do... analyn is originally from siargao and returned home ten years ago after working as a nurse in manila. you need to put one, only one seed per... 0k. and what was it like here during typhoon odette? there was something like two stages. because in the first stage there is wind... and heavy rains, i wasjust smiling, ah, this is normal. because here in the island it is normal, that every december, every rainy season it is something

like a typhoon every day. tropical storm. yeah. then there is one, two, three, four successive... something like 30 minutes go by, going bang, iwasjust there, and then... the roof of the house is all gone, and i am so really are worried about time. wow. but you've rebuilt. yeah, still when it rains hard, it is like going again, so that was my really really, very traumatic experience.

in some ways life after odette was the worst part. the island was completely cut off and supplies ran out fast. so were you here during odette, typhoon odette? i was here during odette. probably the worst experience of my life. there wasn't any power, there wasn't any water, and so for the first few weeks we were just eating whatever was left over on the fridges. i mean, hoping that it wouldn't spoil. and at a certain point i realised that the fishermen weren't going out to sea, because there wasn't any fresh produce in the markets. fishing communities were severely affected, with many fishing boats damaged or destroyed during the typhoon. david decided to help. the best way to do it was to help

repairfishing boats, so we could get them out on the water right away, so that's what we did. i used a service like a platform to raise money. i was planning maybe 30 boats, we end up helping maybe 360 boats. 0h great. and do you think that has created more of a bond for you guys? i think so, a lot of the fishermen we have helped before, we still get fish from them now, and we know them more now, because we went through the worst in our lives and we kind of helped each other bounce back. the philippines is made up of over 7,000 islands, surrounded by seas that are heating up. and this, scientists say, puts the nation at a greater risk from climate change. super typhoon odette sadly claimed

around 20 lives in siargao — though many believe if it wasn't for the mangroves that cover 50% of the island's coastline, more lives could have been lost. oh, it's vitally important, it's the heartbeat of the island. without the mangroves, the island would be exposed to natural disasters like typhoons and tsunamis and storm surges, which is a regular occurrence in the philippines. this february the philippines government recognised siargao's mangrove forest of del carmen as a wetland of international importance. this is good news when you consider in bygone decades mangroves were ripped up forfirewood and building materials. when we came out the day after odette, you could clearly see that all the leaves of the mangroves were gone, it was bare, it was like a nude mangrove. but the roots and the trunks were all intact, you could really tell those communities were much

more protected than those communities that were exposed on the coastline. those were completely, 100% demolished. but those communities that lived behind the mangroves had much less damage. the island might always be in the firing line of extreme weather events. but people here are harnessing the benefits of their natural environment, as they seek to deal with the impacts. and if you're thinking of coming to the philippines anytime soon, here are of the travel show�*s top tips. siargao's main surfing spot, cloud

9, is not for the faint—hearted. with thick—tubed waves breaking over razor—sharp corals, some pro surfers call it a "death ride". but if surfing isn't your thing, there's plenty of other activities you can do in the water here. you can take a boat trip through the mangroves to end up at sugba lagoon. it looks like a tropical paradise you would see on a postcard. well, if your idea of paradise is throwing yourself off a 12—foot further afield from the shores of siargao is the island of bohol, the home of the tarsiers. these little animals have been around for 45 million years but are now almost extinct. beware — they're so sensitive that even a camera flash or a touch of a human can severely hurt or even kill them,

so they're best to be looked at from a distance, guided by the volunteers. luzon, the largest island in the philippines, is home to the banaue rice terraces. this unesco world heritage site was carved into the mountainside more than 2,000 years ago using traditional hand tools and techniques. visitors can hike or take guided tours to explore the terraces and learn more about the indigenous people who built them. still to come on the travel show: they're half man and half drone. this arm here? 0h, isee! i find out if the human drones are the next social media sensation. and taking a dip with the stingless jellyfish.

this jellyfish sanctuary has millions upon millions ofjellyfish. so don't go away. this is mountain view, one of the most sought—after photo spots in siargao, and also home to the human drones. wearing sports—style jerseys with their names emblazoned on the back, these guys use their best moves to mimic those of a state—of—the—art drone for tourists' social media accounts, all while trying to avoid oncoming traffic. and the results have gone viral. originally, they would come here to sell bamboo straws to tourists but recently, they discovered that visitors

preferred to part with their cash for stylised social media content. now, it was my turn to become a viral superstar. right, i've got to get my moves down. this arm here? 0h, isee! one more. 0k, take another pose. another. another pose. oh, so this leg down, this leg up. oh, my god. are you serious? laughs. oh, that was bad too! laughs. i've got to work on my moves.

i've never seen anything like this before. but in this social media—mad world, i think it's an absolutely brilliant idea. laughs. that looks really cool! i'll leave it to you to decide what looks better, man or drone? i've left siargao to visit the national park on the island of bucas grande. which, i'm told, is one of the few places on earth you will find a certain, rather slimy creature

that's not normally that popular. jellyfish are amazing creatures. they're tough and have been around for eons. but with their foreboding tentacles equipped with venomous stings, it's no surprise they are n't many people's favourite animal. i haven't travelled two hours by both boatjust to do some sightseeing. this is the realm of the stingless jellyfish. joining me on the adventure to the jellyfish sanctuary is christel. she is a student who has been studying the specific species at university. but this will be the first time she sees them in the flesh — 0h, narrow entrance.

but getting there won't be easy. we're having to take a traditional boat in the philippines that's narrow enough for gaps like these. it's just through there. watch your head! one more! on the way to the jellyfish sanctuary, we stop off at the luminescent cave that is popular with tourists. but the only way to get

access is underwater. it was really frightening, not seeing where you are going, but once you're in here, it'sjust such an amazing experience. there is stalactites. and the water, its an amazing colour. i was expecting it to be completely dark but the rock formations bounce light off the sand to create a kaleidoscope of colours. we are walking through the next cave here... a bit claustrophobic. gosh! tiny bats live inside this cave. they're actually rather cute. climbing all the way up there. well, clouds! duck your head. yes,

watch my head. there is stalactites here. we've climbed up from the bottom and they estimate it's around 50 metres. but there's only one way down. screams. time to head to the main attraction. just passed this small opening is the jellyfish sanctuary. do you think we'll fit! 7 it's so small! the sanctuary is otherworldly. huge rocks and densejungle punch up

into the sky. gosh, these stinglessjellyfish — they look like little mushrooms. would you eat them? laughs. no. the water's so clear. carmen, do you want to swim with the jellies? yeah! do it! i can't believe i'm going to swim with jellyfish. so, is there a good way to hold them? am i holding it correctly? the most comfortable way, i guess, would be to hold them bell down, because those tenticle ones are their the tiny, tiny stingers. 0h, these ones have tiny stings, but it won't hurt me? it won't hurt you. i don't feel any pain. it feels a little bit slimy. why won't he hurt me if he has got stingers? mostly for their prey, so

zooplankton. but humans are not part of their diet so you are fine. this may look like a lot ofjellyfish but from april, you won't be able to move for them once their breeding season begins. so, why do they like being in this part of the cove? the tides are very strong outside, so this act as a sanctuary that keeps them safe from predators, from strong currents that can carry them elsewhere. so, they are protected by the rocks and the small entrance. the small entrance and the sandbar. these jellyfish are resilient but there are concerns that these tourist activities could cause problems. tourist bodies here want visitors to be more mindful when they visit. well, the department of tourism has said that this cove specifically, this shellfish sanctuary,

has millions upon millions ofjellyfish and they do not compare to the amount of tourists that come here, so as long as you try to practise ethical and sustainable ecotourism, it will be good. especially listening to our boatmen and just following all of the regulations set in place. they say to avoid polluting their home with any rubbish, and wear reef—safe sunscreen to protect the ecosystem. also, to treat the jellyfish with respect. only pick them up with advice from a guide and avoid kicking or bumping into them when swimming. this is an amazing experience and taking how dangerous some of their cousins can be, it probably won't be something i get to do again. but seeing these incredible creatures really shows you just how weird and wonderful nature can be.

well, i'm off to swim with my new friends! that's all we've got time for this week. coming up next time — welcome, each and every one of you, to the my gadigal people's land. we are it's in sydney's enormous month long worldpride festival to find out how indigenous gay and lesbian people are being put front and centre at the celebrations. we tell stories, we pass stories down from generation to generation and that's what we're doing on stage. and you can also catch us on the bbc iplayer, and we are on social media, too, in all the usual places, along with some great travel content from around the bbc. but until then, from all of us here in the philippines, it's goodbye and see you soon.

and rolling fork have been all but obliterated. our us correspondent sophie long reports. this is rolling fork, a small, close community in mississippi. there is little left. they've lost loved ones, their homes — everything. we get storms, like bad rain, or, you know, probably high winds or something, but we never experienced nothing like this where you can wipe out a whole town — you know, schools, children, parents, loved ones. it wiped out everything. these girls said they came back to look for their belongings. they didn't find much. this is what remains of people's homes here in rolling fork. you can see washing machines, signs of a life that took place here before. the tornado struck in the middle of the night — many people were sleeping.

you can imagine just how terrifying this must have been. it meant many didn't hear the alerts. oh, man. dearjesus, please help them. ran through the bathroom and closed the door. jumped into it. francisco said the only one he had was the sound of the wind, a sound which will haunt him forever. it was terrifying, like nothing i've ever heard. i don't want to experience that again in my life. i made it through there, but it was scary. he survived by sheltering in his bathroom. the only bit of the house that is still partially standing. there is some long—term resentment here. mississippi is the poorest state in america, and some feel forgotten by leaders in the nation's capital. excuse my language, damn, you forgot about us? just because we're last

in everything, you forgot about us? that's heart—wrenching. we don't have support from the superior people also. president biden described it as heartbreaking and that he and the first lady are praying for those who have loved ones. but people hear what more than prayers and emergency relief. they want long—term support. sophie long, bbc news, rolling fork, mississippi. rishi sunak is pledging to crack down on anti—social behaviour — including making people responsible for crimes such as vandalism — do immediate community work in jumpsuits or hi—vis jackets. the scheme, which is part of a series of measures to be announced tomorrow, will first be piloted in ten areas of england and wales. iain watson reports. some see this as low—level crime, but polling from both the government and opposition is picking up that voters are not only concerned about antisocial behaviour,

but they feel that those concerns are being ignored. so now there's something of a competition between the parties to come up with plans to bear down on the bad behaviour which blights too many communities. rishi sunak says responsibility must be taken by offenders for their own actions. one thing we will do going forward is make sure that people have rapid justice. if people are caught doing those things, littering or graffitiing, not only will we have bigger fines for those things, we will make sure that those people have to clear up the mess in a very short period of time. he is calling his plan "immediatejustice" — though it won't quite be immediate. vandals will have to get about repairing the damage they'd done within 48 hours of having done so. if somebody else cleaned up in the meantime, they would be given alternative tasks such as removing graffiti, washing police cars,

or picking up litter. but they would be identifiable in hi—vis jackets orjumpsuits so that communities could see justice was being done. these plans were piloted in ten areas of the country initially. it was labour that first introduced antisocial behaviour orders 12 years ago. the party has accused the current government of stealing its ideas and cutting down on neighbourhood policing. shadow ministers have already outlined their own plans to give victims a say over what tasks offenders should carry out. so it's clear tackling crime will be a hotly contested issue at the next election. iain watson, bbc news. the government is also preparing to announce alternatives to hotel accommodation for migrants as early as next week — including the use of ferries. we can speak now to our political correspondent, helen catt. helen, what more do we know about the plans? we understand that it is going to be to military— we understand that it is going to be to military sites in england that will be — to military sites in england that will be confirmed and then the first migrants _ will be confirmed and then the first migrants could move in within weeks.

—— flight sergeant peter brown was part of the so—called pilots of the caribbean and died alone at his west london flat last year. his funeral was due to take place on wednesday — in a chapel which fits 140 people — but a new location is needed after a successful appeal for mourners. simon jones has more. flight sergeant peter brown is now set to get the send—off he deserves. he travelled thousands of miles from jamaica to join the raf and 1943 training as a wireless operator and an air gunner. he served as a crew member on lancaster bombers, one of 450 young black men from the caribbean, africa and parts of the uk to fly with the raf during the second world war, described as among the brightest and the best. last december he died alone in his flat in west london. he had no known relatives, a campaign was launched to find people who knew him to attend his funeral. now westminster council has tweeted: his life and military career were due to be remembered

in a chapel that could hold 140 people this wednesday. now a new date and much bigger venue are being arranged. his neighbours remember him fondly. each and every person knows him, knows peter brown. so he was a good guy. he flew lancaster bombers as a radio operator which must've taken, i mean, when you hear about the casualty rate from the raf crews, that took some courage. couldn't have done it myself. in a statement the raf said: westminster council says it is working closely with the ministry of defence to ensure that mr brown is given a fitting service. simon jones, bbc news. later in the programme, we'll be speaking to peter devitt,

we're joined now by sir tony brenton, the uk's former ambassador to moscow. thank you very much forjoining us. any time the word nuclear is mentioned in this context, it is extremely worrying for people so please tell us how significant you think this latest movies. it is iuite think this latest movies. it is quite significant, _ think this latest movies. it is quite significant, it's - think this latest movies. it 3 quite significant, it's the first actual shift in russia's nuclear posture since the beginning of the crisis and of course one of the deliberate motives is to remind us that this weapons have been got in and in circumstances they could be willing to use them —— latest move is. on the other hand i don't think changes things on the hat —— ground. they are against using weapons in current circumstances and have been warned about it by people they listen to like the chinese and indians and the evidence they would not make a lot of difference on the ground. i suspect only in the situation where they are facing catastrophic defeat that they may at that point begin to think seriously about it so the americans are right, take it calmly, look at what is going on but it does not make a huge

amount of difference in terms of what is going on in ukraine.

in split. rob page's side looked destined to lose to a first half andrej kramaric goal, before nathan broadhead proved the hero on his debut for wales. his goal in the third minute of stoppage time, saw his side get a precious draw in their first match of the post gareth bale era. it is massive. the result for us is massive. yes, i havejust said we can't get complacent. we will have a tough challenge on tuesday, good teams. if we can give that level of performance, i think the result will take care of itself. scotland can look forward to their next qualifier against spain at hampden on tuesday after beating cyprus 3—0 at home. the scots dominated possession and had plenty of chances to score more. scott mctominay with two late goals following john mcginn's opener. so spain are next. the spanish are a very good team. i look forward to watching the game tonight. it is a different note. it is a hamden note game go good atmosphere. hopefully we will go there and give a good account of ourselves. we want to get some points in the tally.

england face ukraine at wembley later today hoping to continue their qualifying campaign with another win. gareth southgate has only 21 players at his disposal following luke shaw's red card in naples on thursday and reece james' withdrawal from the squad for an ongoing injury issue. ivan toney could make his england debut with southgate checking the fitness of his squad before his naming his side. we will just we willjust have to we will just have to assess freshness as much as anything. but it is the same with the whole group. it is that time of year and we have to get the balance right of continuity, consistency, but also freshness. it is crucial, the game, any qualifying group, frankly. if we can follow on from what we did the other night and win this one, then wearing a really good place. ——we are in. ukraine midfielder oleksandr zinchenko spoke to the media ahead of the england game. he said the invasion of his country

by russia has made the squad very close, and that they're like a second family. i think there is no—one in the country who wasn't affected by the terrorist invasion. i think there have been always a special moments when we are together as a team, because, like i said already, we have such a nice group, you know, and ifeel like i'm at home. this is my family, anotherfamily. oleksandr zinchenko, there. after winning 2—0 in san marino last week, northern ireland play their second qualifier tonight. they take on finland at windsor park in belfast. northern ireland reached the euro 2021 play—offs — before losing to slovenia. england captain sarah hunter was carried off the pitch, as the world's most capped women's player ended her career in her home city of newcastle. her side thrashed scotland by 58—7 in the six nations.

wales kicked off the tournament with a 31—5 mauling of ireland. jo currie reports. england and scotland may have been the headline, but this was all about saying goodbye to one of the greats of the game, red roses captain sarah hunter calling time on her career after this 141st cap and fittingly in the city of her birth. emotions settled and england started strongly as claudia mcdonald batted her way to the line. england turned the strong start into a rampage. mcdonald hit the gas with the pick of the tries and 31 points ahead of the red roses went into the break. five tries for england in the first half, five more in the second, including a hat—trick for marlee packer. the crowd were on their feet, but this raise the roof. the end of an era. hunter side of her career as she played at — with a smile on herface. she proudly watched on as the red roses finish the job. watched on as the red roses finish thejob. devastating and dominant, england proving again why they are

have you ever wondered what happens when a satellite goes wrong? how would you know what was up? 30 seconds. well, that's what i've come to texas to find out. dramatic music. we're at this 200—acre site to film a hot fire test of a rocket engine. when it first starts up, it's going to be relatively thin, you'll actually see some, like, shock waves. oh, wow! and we're going to do it in a way that even the rocket—makers themselves haven't done before. mission control: four, three, two, one... -

in 2022, firefly aerospace became one ofjust a few us companies that have successfully put things into orbit. cheering and applause. look at that view! the company has also won contracts from nasa to build a lunar lander that will deliver payloads to the moon in 2024 and 2026, and put a satellite into lunar orbit. but it's the bit between launching from the earth and landing on the moon that's piqued my interest. we also want to build an orbiting spacecraft that has the ability to be on call for our customers. you can literally go to a web browser and say, "i have an asset in space and it's in distress. "i'd like a camera shot of it or it needs to de—orbit. "firefly, can you do that?" well, we can. ultimately, that'll be a constellation of 30, 40, 50 of those spacecraft that

are disbursed in the different regions of space and they're on call, available for customers to say, "hey, go over there. "i have trouble." i need a pizza on the iss! this constellation of rapid—response satellites is planned to be in orbit by 2025 and before that, firefly is developing a rapid—response rocket for the us space force that can be on stand—by and ready to take a payload and get it into orbit with just one or two days' notice. it takes four firefly—designed reaver engines to get that rocket off the ground, and it's the test of one of those that we are here to film today. is this your baby or is this one of your babies? this is one of my babies. 0k. sporting her lucky launch shoes, brigette 0akes will be studying the rocket test in great detail. from an engine perspective, we want to make sure that our engines start up healthy, steady state that is healthy,

and we are getting the thrust and power levels that we need and a lot of that — most of all of that — we be able to can test on the ground, because those are the things that we want to make sure are healthy in orbit. what's the height of it? is it pretty muchjust a horizontal flame? it doesn't go too high? now, we've brought along a friend to film the test. remember gav? he is one half of the slow mo guys, who helped me get egg all over my face a couple of weeks ago, and he's going to be capturing the action at 2,000 frames per second. that's 80 times slower than real life. the only thing is he, like the rest of us, has to be hundreds of metres away when the rocket ignites, so i'm going to leave him to set the remote triggers and work out how his camera's not going to be incinerated, and we will come back later in the programme to watch a rocket ignite like you've never seen before.

scotland — there's no better place to enjoy nature. going for a walk and getting outdoors is so good for you, not just to stretch the legs, but also for your mental health as well. but sometimes, the route you want to go on just isn't on the map. well, it's hoped that's going to change, and that's where these guys come in. this group are from ramblers scotland, a charity who are passionate about walking. scotland has really good access rights, so you can walk more or less wherever you wish, as long as you are responsible about it. but it lacks a complete map of its path network. so, the charity has been creating a digital map of its own.

it brings together all known existing paths using data from ordinance survey and information from openstreetmap and local authorities. one of the surprising things about scotland is it's actually harder to find places to walk than you might imagine. we've got all this amazing green space around us but actually, if you pick up a paper map, you might really struggle to find a path you want to walk. and so, one of the things that we are trying to do with the scottish paths map is to actually make those places easier to find for everybody, wherever they live. how many paths do you think are out there for people to discover that aren't on the map? so, we've discovered something like 20,000 new paths in the short time we've been running the project already. i think that probably, we could easily double the number of paths that people have to walk in scotland when they look at this map compared to many traditional maps. we've hoovered up all the open source data, all the data we can get from partners but now, we're working with 300—plus fabulous volunteers to discover more paths, but also to record information about all the paths

that we discover. the tech is powered by esri uk. the geographical software uses powerful mapping and spatial data analytics technology. it allows the team to create and manage the location information, and it's all done on your phone. digital mapping is really the way forward, isn't it? yeah, it means that we can make changes super quick and make it easily accessible to everyone but also, it is interactive and we can change things on the fly, we can highlight things, we can take things out, we can add things in, so it's much more responsive and adaptable compared to when you're just updating stuff like paper maps. volunteers have so far added over 9,000 new paths to the interactive map, from as far north as the shetland islands to the borders region in the south. i think the project's really important for our paths in scotland. it's a chance to support and to maintain that right to roam.

but it also makes these paths more accessible to a wider variety of people. it means that everyone can get out there. we're on a nice path here in perthshire. is this a path that you've been on before? it's not and, in fact, it's one that isn't on the maps yet so today, we are ticking another one off the list as we go. and it's notjust the coordinates but the data about the routes and information that walkers might find useful that's recorded, like how steep the hills are. is it muddy? is it stony? and even if there's angry landowners nearby. ramblers map shows the status of parts in different colours and volunteers use it to check what needs surveying. purple shows new paths yet to be audited, like the one we're standing on. and then the green shows a completed path. just looking at the map, you can see the majority of the 40,000 miles of paths still need to be audited but if more volunteers come out and enjoy notjust the walks but the technology, too,

the team will only get closer to achieving their aim. now, earlier in the programme, we'd met back up with gav from the slow mo guys to film a rocket engine test at 80x slow motion — that's 2,000 frames per second — and here's how we got on. we're in a nice, flat part of texas. seems a sensible place to do a rocket test, doesn't it? and as you walk along, you start to get hints that, yeah, there's something going on here. lots of compressed nitrogen in canisters. when you get to this shed. there's a massive canister of something there. some more serious and complicated—looking pipes. some dials. you start to get the impression, yeah, the engine must be quite close by now. and then — oh, actually, no! this is actually the engine that we've been walking past! they've attached it to a building, so at least it's not going to go anywhere. and what's also interesting is how

we have to film this test. we have to put our cameras inside these protective boxes for obvious reasons. and then, a whole hour before they run the test, we need to clear out of here, which means we have to run a really long remote control wire for our cameras all the way round to that remote viewing area there. we did bring the really long wire, didn't we? main valves in three, two, one... engine roars. you can feel the rumbling! woo! applause. laughs.

that went right through me! wow! and finally, it's time to see whether we caught the shot that everyone wants to see. what were the risks? yeah. the power could've come out, the trigger could've been wrong, the camera could've melted... chuckles. ..an asteroid could've just come straight down. 0k, well, i think that didn't happen. all right. so we seem to have... 0k, we... 0h! 0k. immediately! there's footage. wow. oh, wow! well, it's just igniting the air. look at the shock waves on the flame. oh, my gosh. so, this is kind of pulsing. that is incredible. laughs. that is — so cool. so, that smoke is coming out at quite a speed.

look how dark i made this image, and it's still very bright. yeah, yeah. but we are seeing detail, we are seeing information right around the end of the booster there. and that is it for this week. i will leave you with the beauty shots.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and ben thompson. 0ur headlines today: devastation in the us state of mississippi after a deadly tornado kills at least 26 people and leaves dozens injured. the schools, children, parents, it wiped out everything. a crackdown on anti—social behaviour — the prime minister promises those responsible will be made to do community work in hi—vis jackets. when you see people littering, just

being disorderly, that is wrong, and people need to be more respectful. drama for wales in split, post gareth bale. debutant nathan broadhead snatches a dramatic point, on their road to germany in 202a. cosy, colourful and comforting — we'll be talking about the love ofjumpers as gyles brandreth's legendary collection goes on display. and while there is rain this morning, that will clear, and we will notice it is colder today. i will notice it is colder today. i will have the full forecast throughout the programme. it's sunday the 26th of march. our main story. emergency workers in the united states are working to help hundreds of people who've been left homeless after a powerful tornado. at least 26 people were killed when the storm ripped across the state of mississippi — wiping out whole neighbourhoods. our us correspondent sophie long reports. this is rolling fork, a small,

close community in mississippi. there is little left. they've lost loved ones, their homes — everything. we get storms, like bad rain, or, you know, probably high winds or something, but we never experienced nothing like this where you can wipe out a whole town — you know, schools, children, parents, loved ones. it wiped out everything. these girls said they came back to look for their belongings. they didn't find much. this is what remains of people's homes here in rolling fork. you can see washing machines, signs of a life that took place here before. the tornado struck in the middle of the night — many people were sleeping. you can imagine just how terrifying this must have been. it meant many didn't hear the alerts. oh, man.

dearjesus, please help them. ran through the bathroom and closed the door. jumped into it. francisco said the only one he had was the sound of the wind, a sound which will haunt him forever. it was terrifying, like nothing i've ever heard. i don't want to experience that again in my life. i made it through there, but it was scary. he survived by sheltering in his bathroom — the only hit of the house that's still partially standing. there is some long—term resentment here. mississippi is the poorest state in america, and some feel forgotten by leaders in the nation's capital. excuse my language, damn, you forgot about us? just because we're last in everything, you forgot about us? that's heart—wrenching. we don't have support from the superior people also. president biden described it as heartbreaking

and that he and the first lady are praying for those who have loved ones. but people hear what more than prayers and emergency relief. they want long—term support. sophie long, bbc news, rolling fork, mississippi. rishi sunak is pledging to crack down on anti—social behaviour — including making people responsible for crimes such as vandalism — do immediate community work in jumpsuits or hi—vis jackets. the scheme, which is part of a series of measures to be announced tomorrow, will first be piloted in ten areas of england and wales. iain watson reports. some see this as low—level crime, but polling from both the government and opposition is picking up that voters are not only concerned about antisocial behaviour, but they feel that those concerns are being ignored. so now there's something of a competition between the parties to come up with plans to bear down on the bad behaviour which blights too many communities. rishi sunak says responsibility must

be taken by offenders for their own actions. one thing we will do going forward is make sure that people have rapid justice. if people are caught doing those things, littering or graffitiing, not only will we have bigger fines for those things, we will make sure that those people have to clear up the mess in a very short period of time. he is calling his plan "immediatejustice" — though it won't quite be immediate. vandals will have to get about repairing the damage they'd done within 48 hours of having done so. if somebody else cleaned up in the meantime, they would be given alternative tasks such as removing graffiti, washing police cars, or picking up litter. but they would be identifiable in hi—vis jackets orjumpsuits so that communities could see justice was being done. these plans were piloted in ten areas of the country initially. it was labour that first introduced

antisocial behaviour orders 25 years ago. the party has accused the current government of stealing its ideas and cutting down on neighbourhood policing. shadow ministers have already outlined their own plans to give victims a say over what tasks offenders should carry out. so it's clear tackling crime will be a hotly contested issue at the next election. iain watson, bbc news. the government is also preparing to announce alternatives to hotel accommodation for migrants as early as next week — including the use of ferries. we can speak now to our political correspondent, helen catt. helen — what more do we know about the plans? well, what we are expecting the government to confirm next week is the use of two military sites in england to house people, because it has said it wants to shift away from putting people in hotels. former airbases in linkage and essex have been identified as suitable,

although there is opposition to those plans. just to look at the numbers, sources say the military sites will have the capacity to house between 1000 502,000 people. if you compare that to those coldly in hotels, which is one of 51,000, so the thinking is in the first incidents these will be used for people who are new arrivals rather than people out of existing hotels. we are expecting the government to confirm the use of ferries and what has been described as other debris floating accommodation. negotiations have been undertaken report, but we won't know for a few weeks. the idea behind this is a big breakfrom hotels and a move to what they are describing as more rudimentary accommodation, that they think will act as a further disincentive.

and some breaking newsjust coming in. two people have died after a shooting in the german city of hamburg. local media are reporting that police were called shortly before midnight and that 28 vehicles rushed to the scene. police said they won't comment on the perpetrator. more on that story if we get details. the grammy—nominated composer nicholas lloyd webber, the son of andrew lloyd webber, has died at the age of a3. nicholas, a composer and record producer, had been having treatment for gastric cancer. in a statement on twitter, his father said, "his whole family is gathered together and are all totally bereft". president putin has announced that russia plans to station nuclear weapons in neighbouring belarus — the first time it's deployed such arms outside its territory in nearly 30 years. the russian president insisted the move would not break agreements to stop

the spread of nuclear weapons. us defence officials monitoring the situation said they did not currently see any reason to adjust their own nuclear posture. it is just after eight, which it isjust after eight, which is it is just after eight, which is the correct time. now when it comes to unique marriage proposals — this rugby league player definitely scored the winning try. chris robinson faked an injury in the middle of a match so that his first—aider girlfriend, amanda tuckwell, would run to help him. he popped the question on the pitch — got a firm "yes" from amanda, and they've already got a wedding date set for later this year. he got something else, because we had to bleep it out. good job she said yes. you would hope he had done his research, you don't want to get

and especially a crossover impossible england. but snow showers coming into the far north of scotland, cold its ways south, continuing into this afternoon. the rain will clear away around lunchtime, before clearing away from penta and east sussex. some bright spells in the afternoon, mostly cloudy —— from kent. still in double figures in southern points. through tonight, the colder air spread south, some missed awful patches into monday morning. with clear skies, gardeners beware, a frost expected tonight, temperatures —1, -2 expected tonight, temperatures —1, —2 across northern areas. into monday, it is looking decent overall, high pressure in charge. that keeps thing settled on the weather front just at bay for now because of any mist or fog versus

there've been plenty of campaigns. what we're most concerned about are the cars that park outside the front of the school and leave their engines on. and yet so many schools still share a problem of car drivers running their engines, while stationary. otherwise known as idling. number one, it's illegal. so i feel like if you're going to come park around here, you may as welljust do it safely. it's not good to breathe in and it'sjust not good for the environment. it goes towards climate change. so, at william alves school in sleaford, they've gone so far as to set up air monitoring equipment for those drop off and pick up times. so this is the actual unit that we've been talking about. it's called a zephyr, and it's been put up there by north kesteven district council, and that's the actual piece of equipment that measures

the gases in the air. and i know that it's carbon monoxide that's produced, but i think you were telling me that there are other gases as well, nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide. there are highs around eight ish in the morning and high pick up. it's mayhem outside the school and there are lots of cars that do leave their engines on, even if it's for 30 seconds. and we know that that is not a good thing for the environment. and given that, how are people in sleaford doing when it comes to parking outside schools? some people do have their cars going while they're just waiting for the children to be picked up. i mean, i keep my radio going, but no, don't keep the car. and then if you do, i think you're an idiot. i think most people are. the cars turned off - at the moment, do they? the bbc look north,

they're saying people shouldn't be running their car engines around school checkout time. what do you say to that? well, clearly not everyone's got the message, but there are plenty of good reasons to not the least the environment and child ren's health. crispin rolfe, bbc news. we're joined now by professorjonathan grigg, who is the leading uk paediatrician in the effects of air pollution. thank you for being with us. we saw those calls on some of the efforts going to reduce the pollution. talk to me about how a little bit of effort can make a big difference. absolutely, it's a great initiative. the problem with idling is a generates a zone of very high levels of small particulars, particles which come down into the airways and sit around for long periods, nitrogen oxide. and we know in healthy children, exposure, increase exposure will stunt their growth and make them more vulnerable to

developing asthma. and they optically liable to have severe attacks of asthma. i think we must really try and reduce children's exposure and bring children together around school, in the high pollution zone, and it is socially unacceptable.- zone, and it is socially unacceptable. zone, and it is socially unaccetable. , ., , , zone, and it is socially unaccetable. , , , unacceptable. the problem is people needinu unacceptable. the problem is people needin: to unacceptable. the problem is people needing to drive _ unacceptable. the problem is people needing to drive to _ unacceptable. the problem is people needing to drive to school— unacceptable. the problem is people needing to drive to school to - unacceptable. the problem is people needing to drive to school to drop . needing to drive to school to drop kids off, because they might not want to idle, but they might be waiting summer they shouldn't come on the corner of a street. it isn't like they can turn the engine. it is about getting more kids on public transport, isn't it?— about getting more kids on public transport, isn't it? absolutely. we know that walking, _ transport, isn't it? absolutely. we know that walking, taken - transport, isn't it? absolutely. we know that walking, taken the - transport, isn't it? absolutely. we know that walking, taken the bus| transport, isn't it? absolutely. we i know that walking, taken the bus to school is associated with reduced

the development of cardiovascular problems and problems with the heart and blood vessels, for example. virtually every system is involved when you are exposed to air pollution. we know that recently, those particles not only stick in the long, but go all around the body and blood system. it is something we've learned over the last ten years, how toxic this material is. what is the solution? who is responsible? should schools bear responsible? should schools hear more of the responsibility? obviously there is the question of local fines. obviously there is the question of localfines. i think obviously there is the question of local fines. i think schools can be creative, as that school was. maybe an air pollution champion who reminds parents to switch off their engines. maybe it is notjust one size fits all, but to think about

chris and julie ramsey will soon be setting off from the magnetic north to travel 17,000 miles, crossing i4 countries over the next ten months. ben philip has been speaking to them. first of its kind adventure, driving an electric car from pole to pole. one of the most common questions we get asked is how we're going to be charging in the polar regions where there is no electricity source. there will be a wind turbine and full double on this device that we will be towing along in the arctic and hosing the renewable energy sources, the wind and the zone, to power the car. starting at the magnetic north pole the couple navigate across sea ice into canada and in south through the us and mexico, and into warmer temperatures in south america. 17,000 miles in i4 countries later, they will cross the finish line at the south pole in ten months' time. modifications have been kept

to a minimum, but bigger tyres have been added to help cope with harsh terrain. there are some mod cons — a drone launcher so they can build theirjourney and a coffee maker. i have every confidence we can do about there will be challenges. we know that it will be a difficult road. but what is it without a challenge? we have to embrace it. if you don't try something and push boundaries, you will never know what you're capable of. chris and julie are no stranger to defying the odds. in 2017 they were the first team to complete the mongol rally in an electric car, a 10,000 mile journey from london to mongolia. they attempt to demonstrate that electric vehicles can be adopted anywhere in the world. at the moment, more research in antarctica and the arctic use

fossil fuel vehicles, the most fragile ecosystems on the planet. if we can help stimulate their conversation, that mindset, that potential change, i guess that is a huge part of a legacy. nearly a year on the road is a long time, so are there any home comforts they will be taking with them? i would like to take some tea cakes, caramel wafers. they are always good. and rowies. we could share them with a team and take some to scotland over on the expedition with us. ahead of all the challenges that might face them, perhaps explaining what a rowie is to somebody in the north pole might be their biggest task. you know what one is. thanks to my scottish parents. it is another name for a breakfast role made with a lot

it finally happened. getting something like this off the ground takes a lot of effort. it takes a lot of people coming together at the same time. but i think through persistence, we're making it happen. and as i say, we've already started production. it's hoped this project will provide more than 760 jobs and bring £30 million into the local economy. it'll also act as the centre of a creative hub in this part of birmingham. the bbc will be just over the road in their new headquarters facility. we've got, of course, the master chef for studio just next door. and of course, just two weeks ago we opened the bond with some of the creative companies will be so this is going to become the sort of hub. so if you're a carpenter, an electrician, a costume designer, a set designer as well as a film operator or whatever, then there will be opportunities. digbeth lock is already taking bookings and the man behind the project is promising productions of international significance. and one of birmingham's best known

musical exports are expected to be among the first tenants with new studios and offices here. we're very proud of the city. you know, it informs everything we do and we don't want to move out of birmingham. we wouldn't be the same people if we did, you know. so we care about the city and it's just exciting that this development is going to happen. peaky blinders put birmingham on the map and has been credited with a 26% increase in visitors to the city. it's hoped local people will soon be using this place to film the blockbusters of the future. we want to make this place special in terms of the experience people have when they come. near the city centre, they're not in the middle of a muddy field. so it's going to be it's going to be fun, but we need the local people to be part of it. we're joined now by adrian wootton, who's the chief executive of the british film commission. thank you forjoining us. these are

around the uk, and we are building this industry in a way which is phenomenal. we are one of the great success stories of the uk economy, we generated nearly £6 billion of revenue last year, which broke all records. we are carrying on with it. people aren't bored with content, and we are good at making it and have the creative talent and conditions to attract that talent. it is often said we are in a new golden age of television. the sheer quantity, but quality, but the amount of television content being made. is there a danger we get to ptb, that so much is being made, we don't know what to watch or find it —— we get to peak tv. we don't know what to watch or find it -- we get to peak tv.— don't know what to watch or find it -- we get to peak tv. we can't watch everything. — -- we get to peak tv. we can't watch everything. there _ -- we get to peak tv. we can't watch everything, there are _ -- we get to peak tv. we can't watch everything, there are subscription - everything, there are subscription channels from everywhere. but we aren't bored with content, it is all

52 years ago, i founded the national scrabble championship and at the final, somebody turned up — a scrabble player — with this jumper. bright yellow with a scrabble board on it and the words "gyles brandreth loves scrabble". 'brandreth' is not spelt correctly but that doesn't matter because as with the great carpet designers of the middle east, they deliberately make a mistake in any of their carpets because only the almighty can create something perfect, so it's slightly imperfect but i wore it and people noticed it. and it made me think — this is back in the early 1970s — "gosh, you get noticed when you're wearing a colourful piece of knitwear," so i thought, "hmm, i'd better wear thesejumpers," so i began wearing novelty knitwear. why didn't the lemon gag not work? because you didn't do it properly. the idea with the lemon is you've to really makes sucking noise suck, suck, suck! in the 1990s, he replaced pullovers with politics and swapped sweaters for suits. when i arrived in the houses of parliament, i put on my grey suit. i wanted to forget the jumper days. i wanted to be a serious mp.

but almost the first time i got up to speak, john prescott, on the opposition front bench, recognised me and knew i was thejumper man and began barracking, going, "woolly jumper! "woolly jumper!" on he went! i struggled along with my speech but he kept going. "woolly jumper!" eventually, i had to pause and point out to him that the joy of a woolly jumper is that you can take it off at will, whereas the blight of woolly mind is that you're lumbered with it for life. i've raided the basement. i've pulled the jumpers out of the mothballs. during the pandemic, someone tweeted me, saying, "desperate times call for desperate measures. "we want to see those jumpers again." so i went down and found them and began to do poems every day in a different sweater and they became popular once more. i wandered, lonely as a cloud... so although his jumpers are famous through television and online, it's world first to actually show them in a museum exhibition. because it is such a wide—ranging collection, we — the exhibition's actually in two parts. so, we've got spring and summer up until the beginning of september. and then, from september

to december, it's our autumn—winter. it's world poetry day and i'm going to share with you my favourite limerick that goes like this. there was a young man from peru. whose limericks stopped at line two. that was linzi kinghorn reporting. my my favourite story of his, during the jubilee my favourite story of his, during thejubilee and jumpers, we were about to go live and he was wearing this glorious purple jumper with a corgi and that made everyone smile. it had a corgi on it, what could be more appropriate? he it had a corgi on it, what could be more appropriate?— it had a corgi on it, what could be more appropriate? he must have a 'um er for more appropriate? he must have a jumper for every — more appropriate? he must have a jumper for every possible - more appropriate? he must have a | jumper for every possible occasion. he talks about keeping them in his basement, probably an entire basement, probably an entire basement filled with jumpers! we asked you to send us pictures of your own silly sweaters and creative cardis — and you didn't disappoint. jane is sporting the jazzy jumper that her aunty made her in 1982 — a year before she got married

to her husband adrian. the pair have just celebrated their ruby wedding anniversary. what do you think they were, jumpers? everyone loves a christmas jumper and no one more than robin in hertfordshire, who has a wardrobe full. that is quite a selection. we said we were not going to allow christmas jumpers but that is such a spectacular image! clare from leamington spa even designed and knitted her own special jumper for the sultan of sweaters, gyles last year. the sultan of sweaters! and it's the age old debate of dogs versus cats. this isjoanne from gateshead's fantastic feline jumper accompanied by her pooch.

from the lyrical language. but for poet nick degg, the location for his performance is equally as important. he favours unusual venues and has just begun a tour where he'll perform in a retirement village and even a boarding kennels alongside cafes and pubs. nick has penned a special poem all about his love of the spoken word. poetry is a bacon body when nothing else will do. poetry is a blow for nothing else will do. poetry is a newly insured, poetry is a vacuum cleaner sucking up the dirt. poetry is a wheelbarrow when you need to move some rubble. poetry is a telus couple, poetry is the hub. poetry is an overcoat, poetry is a shoe. poetry is someone's lips saying i love you. poetry is a vehicle, the words and the funeral. it can take you into space or even back to

school. poetry is read by cows, wearing scores of silk, poetry is unconventional, sometimes it does not rhyme! poetry is a handshake, a hug from a friend. poetry is conversations you hope will never end, poetry is about honesty, very rarely doubt, poetry is a smile of an anchor when he caught a £10 trout. poetry is a hot cross bun with lashings of best water. poetry is a wardrobe that gets rid of the clutter. poetry uses metaphors to get the point across. poetry is both heads and tails so it always wins the toss. poetry is your holiday train, waiting at the station. poetry can be anything if you've got an imagination.—

poetry can be anything if you've got an imagination. the funeral of one of the last black raf veterans of the second world war is being moved to a bigger venue — because so many people wanted to attend. flight sergeant peter brown was part of the so—called "pilots of the caribbean" and died alone at his west london flat last year. his funeral was due to take place on wednesday in a chapel which fits 140 people, but a new location is needed after a successful appeal for mourners. we're joined now by peter devitt — who's museum curator at the "royal air force museum london". talk to us about this story, a sad story but it seems like it might have a happy ending?- story but it seems like it might have a happy ending? about four weeks ago _ have a happy ending? about four weeks ago we — have a happy ending? about four weeks ago we received _ have a happy ending? about four weeks ago we received a i have a happy ending? about four weeks ago we received a phone | have a happy ending? about four i weeks ago we received a phone call for someone who works in the royal air forces— for someone who works in the royal air forces association in northern ireland _ air forces association in northern ireland and said there was a chap who died — ireland and said there was a chap who died to thought he was raf and

this morning, we'll talk about cash — the money in your pockets, the money the government has got to spend, and when, as a country, we can be confident there'll be a bit more to go around. interest rates up, council tax up, inflation — you guessed it — that's going up, too.
