this is bbc news broadcasting in the uk, on pbs in the us and around the globe. i'm annita mcveigh and these are the latest headlines. tributes pour in from around the world for the british presenter, comedian and drag artist paul o'grady who has died suddenly aged 67. asylum seekers in the uk will be housed on ferries, barges and former military bases instead of hotels in new plans due to be announced later. germany prepares for the first state visit by king charles since he became monarch. israel's prime minister reacts angrily to comments by the us president who urged him to walk away from his controversial

judicial reform plans. hello and welcome to bbc news. we start with the news that the celebrated british tv presenter and comedian paul o'grady has died at the age of 67. in a statement, his partner andre portasio said he passed away "unexpectedly but peacefully" on tuesday evening and thanked fans for "all the love they have shown him over the years". paul o'grady first came to fame as a drag artist before becoming a talk show presenter. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba looks back at his life and career. he first came to fame as the charismatic drag queen lily savage. the act, honed in a succession

of pubs, had to be toned down for tv but it was as acerbic and acid tongued as ever. so i'm stood having a drink and i looked over and here's ulrika walked in the door, wearing the same frock as me. i didn't even know she had a littlewoods catalogue, i was flaming. lily fast became an audience favourite, hosting some of tv�*s best known shows. it's thursday, it's 7pm, it's top of the pops! please welcome the hostess of blankety blank, lily savage! the former social worker's alter ego now an unlikely family favourite, something few would have predicted when paul created the character. because all the acts those days, most of them were all in sequins, they were shirley bassey—orientated, it was all very glamour. i went the other way with lily, i gave her a skirt with a tassle and roots. a normal everyday woman. never looked back, this is it. next thing you know i'm on prime telly doing blankety blank! well done, iris. but eventually he decided to escape

from lily's formidable shadow. now it was paul o'grady appearing in sitcoms. god help that baby, she's as daft as a brush. your brain does shrink when you're pregnant. hers was pea—sized to begin with! remember what she said when i asked her what her iq was? 36, 28, 36. hosting a variety of daytime and evening chat and entertainment shows. please welcome your host, paul o'grady! he was everywhere on prime—time with formats such as paul o'grady's saturday night line—up and old favourite blind date. what brings you on blind date? bomb, i am looking for a different spice in my life, because the spice has been subdued recently, i'm looking for the hot sauce in the hot stuff, you know what i mean? so right now... you're looking confused. iam. as well as a iii—year stint on bbc radio 2. right, let me investigate here first... but for the last decade,

the show that has most touched the public has been the multi—award—winning for the love of dogs. aren't you lovely? come here to me! a show which perhaps more than any other beautifully showed the warmth, kindness and empathy that so characterised paul o'grady. people have been paying tribute to paul on social media. sex and the city star kim cattrall shared a video on instagram taken when she filmed a show with paul. she simply said... "our hearts our broken." malcolm prince who was paul's producer for decades, tweeted their last photo together and said they'd met up only yesterday. writing a tribute on twitter he said... "we have lost a unique talent — and i've lost a dearfriend. we were all lucky to have paul in our lives. my heart goes out to andre, paul's family, and friends. oh how i'll miss him." reflecting on paul's work as a drag artist,

journalist tom knight wrote... "before drag race and social media, it was rare for queens to break through into mainstream media. paul was one of the few leading the way and smashing down barriers. everyone loved him, but he preferred animals". king charles will arrive in germany later today in his first state visit as monarch. the trip was originally due to begin in france but protests against raising the pension age meant that visit was postponed. our correspondentjenny hill joins us from berlin. so, jenny, the protests in france mean that germany becomes king charles' first state visit, given his german ancestry, what will this mean for him personally, and politically, how significant is it? well, you know, it is by no means his first visit to germany, he has visited around a0 times during the

course of his lifetime, and we are expecting to hear him speak a little german while is here, too. it is of course, though, his very first state visit as monarch and this is his very first state overseas tour, it should have been, as you say, preceded by a visit to france, but nevertheless i think the significance of this, diplomatically, is shining through a packed schedule of events, that significance, that this is a trip really i think intended to rebuild relationships after brexit, even the presidential office here in a statement has said that they hope to leave the disruption of that separation behind them. and if you take a lot at his schedule over the next three days, you can see a lot of focus on what you might say are common areas of interest between britain and europe, for example, the war in ukraine, he is going to meet

some ukrainian refugees here in germany, environmental issues, climate change, subjects which are very close to the monarch�*s heart, he will be visiting a so—called eco village here in germany and there will also be a reception which focuses on sustainability. so, a lot going on, it is going to mean a lot notjust to the monarch himself but to a lot of people here, i think. todayis to a lot of people here, i think. today is very much about pageantry and welcome, so, a little later on he will be received here along with the queen consort with full military honours, this is the brandenburg gate in the very heart of berlin. before that he will have been welcomed with a 21 gonsolin at the airport upon arrival. tonight, there is a state banquet, and you really get the sense that the excitement is building here. in the next 20 minutes or so, the public will be allowed into the area behind me. it is one of the few opportunities they are going to get to catch a glimpse of king charles.— are going to get to catch a glimpse of king charles. jenny, tell us more about what — of king charles. jenny, tell us more about what the _

of king charles. jenny, tell us more about what the german _ of king charles. jenny, tell us more about what the german public - of king charles. jenny, tell us more | about what the german public make of king charles. jenny, tell us more i about what the german public make of this visit? you about what the german public make of this visit? ., ~ ., about what the german public make of this visit? ., ~' ., ~' about what the german public make of this visit? ., ~ ., ~ ., ., this visit? you know, i think a lot of british people _ this visit? you know, i think a lot of british people would _ this visit? you know, i think a lot of british people would be - this visit? you know, i think a lot i of british people would be surprised to learn just how fondly a lot of german people think of the british royal family. and the queen was an enormously popular figure here and in 2015 she toured the country and showers just behind in 2015 she toured the country and showersjust behind me here in the same spot that her sun will come to a little later, and the crowds turned out then to see her, they still talk of it very, very fondly, and i think there is a lot of intrigue, curiosity, about what kind of monarch her sun is going to be. and alreadyjust looking at the people who are queueing to get through security to get in, in the next 20 minutes, you can see the excitement. 0ne lady i met was wearing the kind of hat you would expect to see at a wedding or perhaps at ascot, she said showers so excited for this historic moment that she had brought along a group of schoolchildren to see it. jenny

hill in berlin, _ of schoolchildren to see it. jenny hill in berlin, thank— of schoolchildren to see it. jenny hill in berlin, thank you - of schoolchildren to see it. jenny hill in berlin, thank you very - of schoolchildren to see it. jenny hill in berlin, thank you very much. asylum seekers in the uk could be housed on ferries, barges and former military bases under plans due to be announced by the british government later today. more than 51,000 people are currently living in hotels costing around £6 million a day. i'm joined now by our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. so, nick, what more is the government saying about how they're going to imprimatur this plan? there will be full details _ going to imprimatur this plan? there will be full details in _ going to imprimatur this plan? ti” will be full details in parliament later, annita, ithink will be full details in parliament later, annita, i think the main thing that will be confirmed today is the fact that the government is taking over two former ministry of defence sites, in lincolnshire and in essex, which will be used to house asylum seekers and migrants, thatis house asylum seekers and migrants, that is the part of the plan that actually seems to have made some progress. in terms of the wider

elements that you mentioned, the idea of ferries being acquired, or barges being used to house people, i am not sure that that is at a particularly advanced stage yet, certainly people i have been speaking to in government this morning have been playing down the idea that that might be imminent, not least because there are some practical difficulties in doing that. but the argument i think the government is going to make today is that it needs to get the bill for hotels down, that it is spending far too much money, about £6 million a day, on housing asylum seekers and migrants in hotels around the uk. it also wants to increase what it calls also wants to increase what it calls a deterrence for asylum seekers crossing the channel, it wants to say to people, if you come to the uk over the channel on a small boat, you won't end up in a hotel, you will end up in somewhere a lot more basic. but in terms of how far this plan is going to go, this is what the deputy prime minister dominic

raab told bbc breakfast earlier. we have got to deal with this. we will look at _ have got to deal with this. we will look at the — have got to deal with this. we will look at the whole range of options, low-cost _ look at the whole range of options, low—cost accommodation, ex—army barracks. _ low—cost accommodation, ex—army barracks, and where it is appropriate, as has been used elsewhere in europe and i think in scotland — elsewhere in europe and i think in scotland as well, vessels, if they can be _ scotland as well, vessels, if they can be safely and responsibly used, and i_ can be safely and responsibly used, and i can— can be safely and responsibly used, and i can tell you that immigration minister_ and i can tell you that immigration minister will set out these proposals in detail in the house of commons — proposals in detail in the house of commons later today. so, proposals in detail in the house of commons later today.— proposals in detail in the house of commons later today. so, nick, with as lum commons later today. so, nick, with asylum seekers _ commons later today. so, nick, with asylum seekers currently _ commons later today. so, nick, with asylum seekers currently in - commons later today. so, nick, with asylum seekers currently in hotels, | asylum seekers currently in hotels, will they be moved to some of these other facilities, will they be moved to some of these otherfacilities, and will they be moved to some of these other facilities, and secondly, where does that leave the government's plans over these proposed asylum flights to rwanda? i think it is all part of the same plan, actually, but in some ways, the rwanda scheme shows the difficulties with a lot of this, that it difficulties with a lot of this, thatitis difficulties with a lot of this, that it is a lot easier to talk tough on this issue than to actually deliver on it. in terms of asylum seekers in hotels just now, deliver on it. in terms of asylum seekers in hotelsjust now, i don't think they will be moved anytime

soon. the initial plan is likely to involve people who arrive in the uk, rather than people who are already in the country. but there is just this broader question of how this is going to work in practice, whether there will be enough space for the tens of thousands of people who are coming into the country on small boats at the moment. and i think we might also see a bit of pushback from conservative mps when it comes to where these sites are going to be. as i mentioned, lincolnshire and essex are the two sites we know about at the moment. well, in lincolnshire, the historic dambusters site, there has been pushback from local tory mps. in essex there has been pushback from local tory mps including the foreign secretary as well. so, this isn't a simple plan for the government to execute, there may well be challenges from local councils as well. what we will get to day is what the government wants to do, a lot of talking tough, in a period

where we are working up to local elections, delivering it will be a lot harder, and one of the criticisms we have heard this morning from the liberal democrats is that this is more about headlines than an actual solution. irlick than an actual solution. nick eardle , than an actual solution. nick eardley, thank _ than an actual solution. nick eardley, thank you - than an actual solution. nick eardley, thank you very - than an actual solution. nick eardley, thank you very much. it has emerged that the attacker who killed six people including three children at a school in nashville had legally purchased seven guns. police say they have established that audrey hale was under doctor's care for an emotional disorder but there were no apparent warnings that any violence was imminent. audrey's parents say they did not realise that weapons were being hidden in their house. meanwhile the police have released dramatic footage of the moment two officers confronted and shot the attacker. we should warn you, you may find parts of this report by nomia iqbal distressing. this is the moment when audrey hale prepares to kill.

the 28—year—old turns up at the school in a car, shoots the glass to get inside and then stalks the halls with a rifle. minutes later, police officers michael collazo and rex englebert arrive. let's go! footage released by police shows when 0fficer engelbert enters the school. metro police! door! after a room to room search of the ground floor... sounds like it's upstairs. they hear gunfire upstairs and head to intercept. as he rounds the corner, one of the officers spots the attacker and takes the shot. police say the assailant carefully planned the attack and that hale was born a woman but recently identified on social media as a man. the victims were three nine—year—olds, evelyn dieckhaus, william kinney and hallie scruggs. hallie's father, a local pastor, said he was heartbroken. three staff also died, including mike hill, a school custodian and father of seven.

his family said he was beloved. police say audrey hale was a former student here at the school, had no criminal record, and that resentment may have been a motive. a friend of hale's has told the bbc they communicated moments before the attack. i received an instagram dm from audrey basically stating that i would see her on the news later on this evening and something tragic was about to happen. i was just speechless. just like... i'm s o rry , i'm sorry, like, i am still trying to wrap my head around, like, what we are going through as a city. police say hale had a manifesto

and could have killed more people. we've determined that audrey bought seven firearms from five different local gun stores here legally. three of those weapons were used yesterday during this horrific tragedy. president biden said he'll start shaming any politicians who don't do more to act on gun violence. he wants assault rifles banned. lawmakers from both sides passed major gun safety legislation last year, but many say a ban goes too far. nomia iqbal, bbc news, nashville. the uk's climate change watchdog has warned the government is not doing enough to prepare for the changing climate. the extreme temperatures of last summer in the uk which led to more than 25,000 wildfires are what's to be expected in the future as per a new report from the climate change committee. their solution? virtually every aspect

of society needs to adapt, from homes, hospitals, roads and railways to the food and energy systems, water infrastructure and even the financial sector. for more on what's in the report and reaction, our climate and science reporter esme stallard joins me now. esme, in cardiff, that list contained in the report from the climate change committee sounds pretty comprehensive, areas that it says the government needs to do more work on, did it say the government was making any progress towards targets? it was making any progress towards taraets? ., ., ~' was making any progress towards taraets? ., ., ,, ., , targets? it looked at as different, ke oli targets? it looked at as different, key policy outcomes _ targets? it looked at as different, key policy outcomes or _ targets? it looked at as different, key policy outcomes or aims - targets? it looked at as different, l key policy outcomes or aims across lots of different assets and sectors from nature through to buildings and it said across all of them, no progress had been made in reducing resilience or preparedness for climate change, so, they didn't pull punches in this report and they have made a lot of recommendations moving forward for the next update to england's adaptation plan. 50. forward for the next update to england's adaptation plan. so, does the committee _ england's adaptation plan. so, does the committee think— england's adaptation plan. so, does the committee think that _ england's adaptation plan. so, does the committee think that there - england's adaptation plan. so, does

the committee think that there is i the committee think that there is time for the uk to catch up and to meet that net zero target by 2050? of course all of these changes it is talking about will be a big factor in contributing to that net zero target? in contributing to that net zero taraet? .. , in contributing to that net zero taraet? .,. , , ., in contributing to that net zero taruet? , , ., ., , target? exactly, there is a really stron: target? exactly, there is a really strong link _ target? exactly, there is a really strong link between _ target? exactly, there is a really strong link between preparing i target? exactly, there is a really. strong link between preparing our country for climate change and also achieving our net zero target. they pointed out that if we are not better prepared for climate change that it could cause damage to our power networks which would affect our energy and our ability to meet net zero. in terms of whether we are going to have enough time to prepare for this they said we really need a step change now in policy, there needs to be an acceleration, increased urgency from the government so that we don't repeat the wasted, lost decade they said we had already had in preparing this country for climate change. esme stallard, country for climate change. esme stallard. our— country for climate change. esme stallard, our climate _ country for climate change. esme stallard, our climate and - country for climate change. esme stallard, our climate and science| stallard, our climate and science reporter, thank you very much.

authorities in amsterdam have launched a new initiative to try to deter british holidaymakers from visiting, in search of drugs, sex and alcohol. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has reacted angrily to a suggestion from president biden that he should abandon controversial plans for an overhaul of the judiciary. mr netanyahu stressed that as a sovereign country israel would make its decisions "by the will of its people and not based on pressures from abroad". speaking before boarding air force one, president biden said he hoped mr netanyahu would try to work out a genuine compromise. like many strong supporters of israel, i'm very concerned. and i'm concerned that they get this straight. they cannot continue down this road. and i've sort of made that clear. i'm hopeful...

hopefully, the prime minister will act in a way that he will try to work out some genuine compromise, but that remains to be seen. live tojerusalem and our correspondent tom bateman. tom, hello, people often don't like being told what to do, not least a prime minister by a president. but taken in totality with the opposition to this at home, how much pressure do these comments from president biden, extra pressure, put on benjamin netanyahu? i president biden, extra pressure, put on benjamin netanyahu?— president biden, extra pressure, put on benjamin netanyahu? on ben'amin netanyahu? i think they ut on benjamin netanyahu? i think they ut uuite a on benjamin netanyahu? i think they out quite a bit _ on benjamin netanyahu? i think they put quite a bit and _ on benjamin netanyahu? i think they put quite a bit and actually _ on benjamin netanyahu? i think they put quite a bit and actually i - on benjamin netanyahu? i think they put quite a bit and actually i think- put quite a bit and actually i think what has been the most significant point of all of this has been the weeks that the us has been dialling up weeks that the us has been dialling up the pressure on mr netanyahu, not just in public, but also privately, and it is thought that really us administration officials were bombarding the netanyahu government with messages during this crisis earlier this week, saying that if they continue down this path, they

were putting in peril israel's image as the sole democracy in this region. the americans have been extremely unhappy about these proposals, they have made it clear for weeks if not months. and then we had these comments from the us president yesterday, even after mr netanyahu had said he is parking these reforms for the time being, you could still see and hear the displeasure, and also i think the scepticism that mr biden had about mr netanyahu's plans to try and reach a compromise over all of this. and then we had this extraordinary late—night series of tweets from the israeli prime minister last night, thoroughly rebuking mr biden, saying that of course they were the best of friends and the most enduring of allies but that israel was a sovereign country and it was not going to listen to pressures from abroad stops so, a very strong message, this is not the first time by any means that mr netanyahu has fallen out with the democratic us

administration, but i think itjust adds to this sense of pressure, sense of tension, that this thing still isn't resolved. bud sense of tension, that this thing still isn't resolved.— sense of tension, that this thing still isn't resolved. and how would ou still isn't resolved. and how would you characterise _ still isn't resolved. and how would you characterise the _ still isn't resolved. and how would you characterise the state - still isn't resolved. and how would you characterise the state of - still isn't resolved. and how would you characterise the state of the l you characterise the state of the relationship right now, given all of that? i relationship right now, given all of that? 4' relationship right now, given all of that? ~ ., ., , ., ., , that? i think a measure of that is that? i think a measure of that is that mr netanyahu _ that? i think a measure of that is that mr netanyahu since - that? i think a measure of that is that mr netanyahu since he - that? i think a measure of that is i that mr netanyahu since he became prime minister again at the end of last year has not had an invite to washington, and that is now becoming a sort of a measure of whether or not mr biden thinks he has done enough to compromise, to offset these reforms, and the huge opposition there has been... tom, i am sorry. — opposition there has been... tom, i am sorry. we _ opposition there has been... tom, i am sorry. we are — opposition there has been... tom, i am sorry, we are having _ opposition there has been... tom, i am sorry, we are having issues - opposition there has been... tom, i am sorry, we are having issues with j am sorry, we are having issues with the sound, becoming really difficult to hear you, but thank you for that, tom bechmann there injerusalem. and apologies for the issues with the sound, hopefully you were able to

hear tom's first answer at least. hundreds of thousands of protesters in france have staged more strikes and rallies against the government's pension reforms with some demonstrators clashing with riot police. people are angry after legislation to raise the retirement age from 62 to 6a was forced through by president macron's government. the demonstrations where the most violent yet. lucy williamson sent this report. the temperature rose as the sun went down. fires burned like believers, as bright as fever. bottles disappearing in clouds of teargas for by riot police. in bordeaux, in nantes and in paris. it took minutes for this peaceful protest to turn violent. hidden amongst the main demonstration, masked protesters who are now taking on the police.

the plume eventually went about a mile above the volcanic crater. it's a very active volcano and perhaps because of that, people tend to keep their distance and there were no reports of any injuries or damage. a five kilometre exclusion zone has been put into place just in case. hello again. more widely do do we are going to see higher temperatures than we did yesterday. what is happening is that we have got various weather fronts moving across us, each of them bringing in some rain. this cold front here as it comes in across northern ireland will really bring in some heavier rain, notjust across northern ireland but also into wales and south—west england, and some of this could be thundery, especially so across wales. head of it, the rain clears from the east coast but there will be some showers getting into the south—east and it

will remain fairly cloudy. windy in the irish sea, breezy for most of us, with highs widely between 13 and 16. through the evening and overnight we will still have the rain for a time before it eventually pushes off into the north sea but lingers across shetland. there will be some clear skies, one or two showers and still windy in the south, but wherever you are it is going to be a mild night, many of us staying in high single figures or low double figures. tomorrow if anything it could well prove to be a little bit warmer. the air coming up from the south—west, we are in between these weather fronts so we are looking at a day of sunshine and showers or bright spells. some of the showers will be heavy and thundery, especially across wales and the south—west, some of them will line up across some southern counties and it will be breezy across england and wales, less so for scotland and northern ireland. temperatures, widely1a—16, up to 17 or even a little bit higher locally. 0vernight thursday into friday we have got a new area of low pressure with its fronts crossing us. so it is going to be windy

on the isles of scilly, the tip of cornwall, through the english channel, the channel islands and areas adjacent to it, as well as having some rain moving across england, wales and eventually northern ireland, just a few showers in scotland. if anything, the temperatures dipping just a touch. on saturday we have got a trailing front producing some rain. it will also be a fairly cloudy day with one or two showers. during the day this weather front will weaken and turn more showery in nature, and these are our temperatures. but it looks like sunday will be a bit drier.

this is bbc news. i'm annita mcveigh and these are the headlines... an icon and a trailblazer — tributes are pouring in from around the world for the british presenter, comedian and drag artist paul 0'grady who has died suddenly aged 67. asylum seekers in the uk will be housed on ferries, barges and former military bases instead of hotels in new plans due to be announced later. the bbc understands the government has already secured the necessary planning changes needed to repurpose some former bases which could be in use within weeks. germany prepares for the first state visit by king charles since becoming monarch. he was due to go to france first but widespread protests against pension reforms forced him

to postpone that leg of the trip. israel's prime minister reacts angrily to comments by the us sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's john wattson. good morning. the rain may have been falling at the end at hampden park last night, but that didnt dampen the party. what a night for scotland. that 2—0 win, has them in pole pole position to qualify, and points to a very exciting time for the supporters, as andy swiss reports. for scotland fans, a night to say, "i was there". a hampden park party after one of their greatest wins in recent times. they've not beaten spain for nearly a0 years. they couldn't, couldn't they?

well, how is this for a start? scott mctominay cranking up the decibel level and giving scotland a precious early lead. spain aren't one of the world's top teams for nothing though. joselu hitting the bar. but scotland also had their chances, especially lyndon dykes. so close, but scotland still lead at the break. and after it, their night got even better. a clinical counter—attack, and guess what? mctominay again, and it was 2—0. the tartan army were bouncing. a famous win was within their sights. come the final whistle, cue euphoria. it's the night of scotland's dreams! that's a kind of legacy you can leave, — that's a kind of legacy you can leave, you _ that's a kind of legacy you can leave, you can put a mark on scottish _ leave, you can put a mark on scottish football, if you like for the year — scottish football, if you like for the year going forward. but personally i hope it is not another 30 years —

personally i hope it is not another 30 years before we have a result and a performance like that. i hope we can do— a performance like that. i hope we can do it _ a performance like that. i hope we can do it again pretty soon. for scotland players and fans, a special victory on a special night. andy swiss, bbc news. no gareth bale for wales these days, not that they needed him, 1—0 winners over latvia in cardiff last night. where he so often got the goals, it was kieffer moore this time, the only goal of the game, that leaves them with four points from their opening two matches, a great start for them having opened with that impressive draw against croatia. beth mead's club side arsenal have a massive night ahead in the second leg of their champions league tie with bayern munich. a goal down from the first leg last week, trying to avoid going out of the competition at this stage in each of the last three years. beth mead is out injured at the moment and they could do with her on a night such as this.

has found that waiting times and staff shortages were the biggest concerns. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has this report. back in december, tony griffiths was living with leukaemia when he suffered a fall at home in somerset. it took hours for an ambulance to reach the 83—year—old. i mean, it was just all the waiting at the different stages. his son gareth, driving from manchester, got there faster than the ambulance crew did. then tony, with gareth by his side, faced a long night on a trolley waiting in a&e. it's the feeling that you've spent all those years paying your tax and your national insurance and that you end up in a corridor after waiting five hours for an ambulance, is, yeah, it's disappointing really, isn't it? i mean, when i was there, there was one poor patient actually passed away. and it's sad to think that you've ended up dying in a corridor in a hospital because theyjust haven't got the money to fund them, really.

so yeah, it was quite sad to see things like that. the british social attitudes survey indicates satisfaction with the nhs has fallen to its lowest level, just 29% since the survey began in 1983. that's down seven percentage points from the previous year. only 30% of respondents said they were satisfied with accident and emergency and gp services also saw a fall, just 35% satisfied. with a similar picture for dentistry, inpatient and outpatient hospital services. the levels of dissatisfaction with the nhs we're seeing now have in some ways been a long time in the making and they reflect real operational problems with the nhs. turning these around is not going to happen with another couple of flashy initiatives or any sort of quick fix. it's going to require really long term investment in long term things the health service needs, buildings, equipment, staff and a sustained effort to improve access and get the workforce back to where it needs to be over many years.

sadly, a few weeks ago, leukaemia took tony's life. his son gareth says staff at the hospital were excellent. it was the long wait to be seen that was troubling. and while support for the principles of the nhs remain strong, free at the point of delivery, funded by general taxation, today's findings will cause concern. dominic hughes, bbc news. with me now is the bbc�*s health correspondent nick triggle. tell us a little bit more about this dissatisfaction with the service and what the government says it's doing to try to improve these areas of the nhs? , , ., , ., ., nhs? this is the gold standard measure of _ nhs? this is the gold standard measure of public _ nhs? this is the gold standard measure of public attitudes - nhs? this is the gold standard measure of public attitudes to | nhs? this is the gold standard i measure of public attitudes to the nhs. it has been running since 1983 and what it shows is that satisfaction levels have fallen

sharply, especially over the last three years. when you look at individual services, a&e, gp care, dentistry, general hospital services all have seen fall in past year and the fall has been sharpest for a&e services. the government says it is investing more money in the nhs and it has plans to tackle the backlog in hospital operations and they will begin to make some progress and they have a recovery plan for accident and emergency services. so they say things are going to get better. ii things are going to get better. if you take a longer view, how has the public satisfaction or otherwise looked about the nhs services? what looked about the nhs services? what is interesting — looked about the nhs services? what is interesting is _ looked about the nhs services? what is interesting is the _ looked about the nhs services? transit is interesting is the previous lowest mark was in 1997 when waiting lists were growing. then the labour government, as we remember came in, invested record sums into the nhs. but it took a long time for

satisfaction levels to really start rising. it wasn't until they peaked in 2010 at 70% we got to the high mark for satisfaction. since then it has gone up and down, until 2019, quite a sharp deterioration which mirrors the longer waiting times people are experiencing. this is the key, people say their biggest concerns are the waiting times and staff shortages. when they get to see staff and get their treatment, they are pleased with the quality of care. it they are pleased with the quality of care. , ,., ., they are pleased with the quality of care. , ., ., ., ~ they are pleased with the quality of care. , ., ., .,~ ., care. it is important to make that distinction _ care. it is important to make that distinction and _ care. it is important to make that distinction and it _ care. it is important to make that distinction and it is _ care. it is important to make that distinction and it is important i care. it is important to make that distinction and it is important to l distinction and it is important to make the distinction between dissatisfaction over waiting times and the issue of public support for and the issue of public support for a national health service? indeed, the survey did _ a national health service? indeed, the survey did ask— a national health service? indeed, the survey did ask respondents, i a national health service? indeed, j the survey did ask respondents, do they still believe in the principles of the nhs, free at the point of use and primarily funded through general taxation? more than eight in ten supported those principles. but there was a desire to get more

coming as a real shock to you? it 3 absolutely heartbreaking, so sudden and so unexpected. paul was a great friend, i had known him forfour decades, going back to his time when he wasjust a decades, going back to his time when he was just a new and emerging artist who performed on the gay club circuit. ifirst met artist who performed on the gay club circuit. i first met him when he was performing at the royal vauxhall tavern, the gay pub that still exists today in south london. and at that time, at the club had been raided by the police while paul was preparing to go on stage. he was in his dressing room adjusting his clothing and wig when the police burst in. he initially thought they were strippers who were part of the show, dressed up in police uniforms. it wasn't until he walked out on the stage that he realised the gravity of the situation when he saw all these police officers manhandling these police officers manhandling the customers, the gay customers in

the customers, the gay customers in the club and they were wearing rubber gloves. this was at the height of the aids panic and hysteria and back then the police were very ignorant and prejudiced. they thought if you touched a gay person you could get hiv, hence the rubber gloves. but paul's quit on the stage was, good, you are here to help us do the washing up! a reference to the rubber gloves. it was typical of the way he used his wit to disarm prejudice and also to show up those who were bigoted. what show up those who were bigoted. what a line in that — show up those who were bigoted. what a line in that situation and quick—witted as ever. in fact, paul was planning to lead a campaign that you are working on for the police to apologise for their dealings with the lgbt plus community, tell us more about those plans? flit

show that it was possible for lgbt plus people to go from the margins to the mainstream, from victim to victor and that is his great legacy. he was a giant in terms of someone who made it in the entertainment industry, but also never lost touch with his roots, with the people, particularly the lgbt plus community, who gave him his first break. . ., community, who gave him his first break. . ~' , ., , . community, who gave him his first break. ., ,, , ., , . ., community, who gave him his first break. . ,, , . ., break. thank you very much for your memories of— break. thank you very much for your memories of paul _ break. thank you very much for your memories of paul o'grady, - break. thank you very much for your memories of paul o'grady, peter- memories of paul 0�*grady, peter tatchell. the intended parents of a child born to a surrogate mother should get legal parenthood at the point of birth, according to new proposals. the law commission for england, wales and scotland has published a joint report proposing the first changes to surrogacy laws in nearly a0 years. currently the intended parents must wait at least six weeks to become the legal guardians, but in practice it can often take up to a yearfor it to go through the courts. i�*m joined now by harriet errington

who is a partner in the family department at the law firm boodle hatfield. thank you forjoining us, harriet. first of all, it seems strange that it has been a0 years since any changes were made to the laws around surrogacy? changes were made to the laws around surroaa ? , changes were made to the laws around surroua ? , , changes were made to the laws around surroaa ? , , ., , changes were made to the laws around surroua ? , , ., ,., surrogacy? yes, exactly. today is a very exciting _ surrogacy? yes, exactly. today is a very exciting day — surrogacy? yes, exactly. today is a very exciting day for _ surrogacy? yes, exactly. today is a very exciting day for anyone - surrogacy? yes, exactly. today is a very exciting day for anyone who i very exciting day for anyone who works in the area of so gresini. if you think a0 years ago, society�*s attitude towards same—sex couples, for example, there are huge developments in medicine and science since then. so all of this has made the law in england and wales completely outdated and not really fit for purpose. said the proposals that have been published today come as a really welcome development for family lawyers and everyone who deals in this area. so family lawyers and everyone who deals in this area.— family lawyers and everyone who deals in this area. so what are the key difficulties _

deals in this area. so what are the key difficulties with _ deals in this area. so what are the key difficulties with the _ deals in this area. so what are the key difficulties with the current i key difficulties with the current law, which as we explained in the introduction, the intended parents are not automatically the child�*s legal parents from birth, what problems does that give rise to? that is the key difficulty at the moment. if you think that a surrogate mother with no genetic link to the child would automatically be the legal parent of the child from birth and the intended parents, even though everyone has agreed to the arrangements and gone in with their eyes open, fully informed, the intended parents at the moment have to undergo a huge process, which can be very costly via the family court in order to obtain the parental order necessary to transfer the legal parentage. there are huge issues with this, for example one key problem is that the application for a parental order cannot be made until the baby is at least six weeks old. in most cases in that first six

weeks following the child�*s birth, the child will be living with the intended parents and the intended parents will be trying to make decisions on behalf of the child as if they wear the legal parents. but there are huge issues, if there were health concerns, technically, the surrogate mother would be the one who would have to consent to treatment, for example. so the intended parents during the interim period before the parental order is made are left in a very precarious and difficult situation. [30 made are left in a very precarious and difficult situation.— and difficult situation. do these lans no and difficult situation. do these plans go far _ and difficult situation. do these plans go far enough _ and difficult situation. do these plans go far enough then? i and difficult situation. do these plans go far enough then? we l and difficult situation. do these i plans go far enough then? we have alluded to the fact it may take some time for them to become law, but do they go far enough?— they go far enough? from my perspective — they go far enough? from my perspective they _ they go far enough? from my perspective they represent i they go far enough? from my perspective they represent a l they go far enough? from my i perspective they represent a really welcome development. they update the law, they reflect the shift in the presumption of legal parentage from birth. there are always going to be further problems, further issues that could be dealt with. for

example, the position in relation to international surrogacy hasn�*t been particularly improved, so those who choose to go to countries like the us or other countries with better frameworks in place for surrogacy, they will still be left in the same position on return to the uk so they will have to apply for the parental order in the same way they do currently. there is the issue that commercial surrogacy hasn�*t been dealt with under the proposals at all, so the concept of whether they should be allowed to take the surrogate mother for what she is doing. i understand it is a huge moral and ethical minefield and a political hot potato, so i can understand why that wouldn�*t have been dealt with in the proposal and to some extent, that is sensible so we should see how things work out, whether this improves things which in my view, it definitely will. ,

the proposals that have come in today are very, very welcome by family lawyers and everyone who kind of deals with this area. fiiq of deals with this area. 0k, harriet. _ of deals with this area. 0k, harriet, thank _ of deals with this area. 0k, harriet, thank you - of deals with this area. 0k, harriet, thank you very i of deals with this area. 0k, harriet, thank you very much. of deals with this area. 0k, - harriet, thank you very much. thank ou ve harriet, thank you very much. thank you very much- _ the government�*s climate change watchdog has warned the uk is not doing enough to prepare for our changing climate. the record heatwaves of last summer are what�*s to be expected in the future as per a new report from the climate change committee. it suggests the government is lacking urgency and hasn�*t met a single one of its targets. it singled out england�*s farming and internet infrastructures as not being resilient in extreme weather. their solution? virtually every aspect of society needs to adapt our homes, hospitals, roads and railways, as well as the food and energy systems, our water infrastructure and the financial sector. for more on how we go

about changing our ways, i�*m joined by the head of adaptation at the climate change committee, richard millar. of this catalogue of issues you identify in europe biennial report, what is the most striking in your opinion? i what is the most striking in your oinion? ., what is the most striking in your oinion? ~' ., , what is the most striking in your oinion? ~' .,, , ,, opinion? i think the most striking is the breadth _ opinion? i think the most striking is the breadth of _ opinion? i think the most striking is the breadth of the _ opinion? i think the most striking is the breadth of the areas i opinion? i think the most striking is the breadth of the areas where j opinion? i think the most striking i is the breadth of the areas where we have to prepare for climate change. we try to look at all the things that are important, infrastructure and buildings, our economy and ecosystems. in all those areas we see planning is not yet really at the level we need it to be to begin with the challenges of climate change. the events we saw the last year, the events on lives and health and extreme heat in the summer, infrastructure, rail buckling and overhead wire failures on railways, those are the kinds of things we will see more often in future with climate change. the urgency to the impact last year show is not being followed up with the level of urgency in our response to it. what

we are asking for is that the next programme from the government, which is due in the summer, it makes a step change in the urgency with which we are treating this problem. we know it is something we have to be preparing for now, it�*s not an option. be preparing for now, it's not an otion. ~ , , �* ., be preparing for now, it's not an otion. ~ , , �* . , option. why isn't there that urgency and can the — option. why isn't there that urgency and can the uk _ option. why isn't there that urgency and can the uk turn _ option. why isn't there that urgency and can the uk turn this _ option. why isn't there that urgency and can the uk turn this around? i option. why isn't there that urgency j and can the uk turn this around? so and can the uk turn this around? sr something we have been calling for in the report is the need for a vision for what being well adapted for climate change means. we have to reduce our emissions to net zero and we need something parallel to sit as the lone star for preparing for climate change. what are the key elements of being resilient to climate change that the government wants us to target as a society? what are the targets and steps, the roles and policy for the private

sector that will get us there? we think setting out the vision, hopefully in this programme coming in the summerfrom hopefully in this programme coming in the summer from the government is a key bit of that, which will help pull the other leavers for people to invest in adaptation, do the kinds of actions things are needed from businesses, local authorities and from individuals.— businesses, local authorities and from individuals. what role can the aeneral from individuals. what role can the general public _ from individuals. what role can the general public having _ from individuals. what role can the general public having all— from individuals. what role can the general public having all of- from individuals. what role can the general public having all of this, i general public having all of this, richard? , , . general public having all of this, richard? , , . ., richard? the public can play a really important _ richard? the public can play a really important role - richard? the public can play a really important role in - richard? the public can play a really important role in this. l really important role in this. particularly in preparing for climate change in their homes. things are highlighted in the report, how to manage your home in a heatwave, knowing when you should open the windows, when you should close them and draw the curtains to help keep temperatures in your house as comfortable as possible. which is what is needed to help reduce the impacts of those extreme heat on your own health and on your family and your working productivity in your offices and also your homes. that is one of the key avenues, we

also look at a water action, so reducing water is a key bit of preparing for climate change, particularly periods of drought. so understanding what are the actions that can help save water, how we can have water efficient practices and appliances in our homes and businesses. those are some of the roles we see four people in engaging on this challenge.— on this challenge. richard, thank ou ve on this challenge. richard, thank you very much — on this challenge. richard, thank you very much for _ on this challenge. richard, thank you very much for your— on this challenge. richard, thank you very much for your time i on this challenge. richard, thank. you very much for your time today. now it�*s time for the weather, with carol kirkwood. this cold front as it comes across northern ireland will bring in heavier rain. notjust across northern ireland but into wales and south—west england and some of this could be thundery, especially so across wales. ahead of it the rain

clears from the east coast but there will be some showers getting into the south—east and it will remain fairly cloudy. windy through the irish sea, breezy for most of us with highs widely of 13 and about 16 degrees. as we head through the evening and overnight we will have this rain for a time before it eventually pushes into the north sea, but lingers across shetland. there will be some clear skies, one or two showers and wind in the south but really wherever you are it will be a mild night. many of us staying in high single figures or low double figures. tomorrow, if anything, in high single figures or low double figures. tomorrow, ifanything, it could prove to be a little bit warmer. they are coming from the south—west. in between the sets of weather fronts, south—west. in between the sets of weatherfronts, we south—west. in between the sets of weather fronts, we are looking at a day of sunshine and showers or bright spells. some of the showers will be heavy and thundery, especially across wales and the southwest. some of them will line up across southern counties and it is going to be a breezy day as well across england and wales, less so

for scotland and northern ireland. temperatures 1a to 16 degrees, but locally we could see 17 degrees, possibly even a little bit higher than that. 0vernight thursday into friday we have low pressure with its fronts crossing us. it will be windy and the isles of scilly, typical mode, the english channel and the channel islands and areas adjacent to it. as well as having rain moving across england, wales and eventually northern ireland and just a few showers in scotland. temperatures dipping just a touch. into saturday we have a trailing front producing some rain. it will be a cloudy day with one or two showers. through the davis weather front will really weaken and turn more showery in nature and these are the temperatures. ranging from eight in the north to 12 in the south. but it looks like sunday will be drier.
