died suddenly aged 67. king charles has arrived in germany for his first overseas state visit since succeeding his mother as the british monarch. he and his wife camilla, the queen consort, were greeted with a ceremonial gun salute shortly after their plane landed in berlin. they then travelled on to the brandenburg gate. where there was an official welcome hosted by president frank—walter steinmeier. the landmark was once associated with the country's division during the cold war, and is a symbolic site in its subsequent reunification. it's the first ceremonial welcome ever held there for a visiting head of state.

the visit is being seen as part of a move by the uk to improve relationships with its european neighbours. it includes a visit to the german president's residence, bellevue palace, where the king and queen consort signed the guest book — and will enjoy a state banquet in their honour. president steinmeier says he is looking forward to working with britain on future projects. translation: this visit your very first tri- translation: this visit your very first trip abroad, _ translation: this visit your very first trip abroad, your _ translation: this visit your very first trip abroad, your majesty, i first trip abroad, your majesty, it's a great personal gesture and at the same time i think it is an important gesture for german british relations and today on the date six years ago when britain began its exit from the european union we are opening a new chapter in our relations. as part of the visit the king and queen consort will visit hamberg to learn about their adoption of green energy. historian and author, sir anthony seldon, says it's signifiant that the monarch

is continuing his personalfocus on environmental issues. the head of government, they go, they come, they go and maybe last for three or four or five years. their focus is very much on the next general election. there's nothing wrong with that. it's very much the nature of democracy, but the head of state has a vision that transcends their own lifetime in office for the good of the nation as a whole. and clearly, environmental issues will be significant way beyond the next general election and it is something he has chosen for 50 years to champion. long before people took it seriously and, indeed, many clever people and intelligent people took him as a crank for saying this and it's all come true. i think that's significantly added to the seriousness

with which he has been taken as a figure. i'm joined now by alex penler from london school of economics, who has published work on the role of the royal family as a tool for soft power... hello. thank you forjoining us. in a sense, king charles is in berlin by default. his first state visit was meant to be in paris, nonetheless this is a very significant move. how do you? i think it is great to be here. i think it is great to be here. i think it is great to be here. i think it is two things. the first is that it was actions was to be a joint visit to countries because england technologies show favouritism between the two greatest powers in europe. i think germany is a powerhouse and friends a long—time alley and they to show in the post—brexit world how united europe is. so i think that is the main reason right now.— is. so i think that is the main reason riaht now. . �* , , reason right now. that's interesting because his — reason right now. that's interesting because his mother, _ reason right now. that's interesting because his mother, the _

loves the british monarchy. that number continues after that will be the question. but the pertinent thing is there is not a way, i think the most effective way to know is if there are any pr gaps. as you saw in there are any pr gaps. as you saw in the spring the trip to the caribbean so as long as there is no big issues, you will see a successful trip. as long as the author it is for the coronation in showing symbolism about how the partnership matters than it will be successful. thank you very much. alex from the london school of economics, thank you for your time. it's 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 hale'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. i'm just like...

i'm sorry, like... i am still trying to wrap my head around, like, what. .. 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. earlier today the snp leader humza yousaf appointed his cabinet after having been formally sworn in as the first minister of scotland. 0ur scotland correspondent alexandra mackenziejoins me now from edinburgh. talk us through some of the appointments. it talk us through some of the appointments.— talk us through some of the a- ointments. ., , , talk us through some of the a- ointments. . , , ., appointments. it has been quite a da and appointments. it has been quite a day and quite _ appointments. it has been quite a day and quite a — appointments. it has been quite a day and quite a week— appointments. it has been quite a day and quite a week in _ appointments. it has been quite a day and quite a week in scottish l day and quite a week in scottish politics. in some quite significant changes today as humza yousaf said. we saw him come out on the steps earlier, the official residence of the first minister in scotland. we have now moved here to the scottish parliament with very will all be here for his first minister's questions tomorrow. what he said when he came out he said that he had but a team together that would deliver radical, ambitious and progressive policy agenda. lots of

changes obviously nicola sturgeon has gone to back benches. john swinney back branches. he was the deputy first minister and shona robison has not taken over as the depths to you first minister —— has now. appearing on the steps with humza yousaf earlier. she is very experienced and has held cabinet post before and held health brief before and a close friend to nicola sturgeon. so there has been some criticism that this is partly a continuation of the old team. there has been no position for kate forbes. humza yousaf said that he did want to include her in the cabinet, he offered her rural affairs, she has said no to that and she has decided that she will go to the back benches. there has been some criticism, they are saying this is a step down for her. she was the

finance secretary before. shona robison will also take on finance. 0ther robison will also take on finance. other people have said that she had been looking for something, maybe not quite as demanding as finance and also she lives in a large rural community, but whatever the truth there. she has taken the decision to go to the back benches. also no position for the ash reagan who also ran in the leadership race. 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 in france from 62 to 64 was forced through by president emmanuel macron�*s government. the demonstrations — which were countrywide — were the most violent yet. 0ur paris correspondent, lucy williamson, sent this report.

the temperature rose as the sun went down. across france, fires burned like beliefs, as bright as fever. young protesters with their rocks and bottles, disappearing in clouds of tear gas fired 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. running through the lines of police, the white—and—black helmets of the specialist units known as brav—m. rapid reaction teams tasked with stamping out trouble. a new target for protesters, after growing allegations of abuse. a video emerged last week apparently showing brav—m officers hitting a protester in the face. and an audio recording appears to have captured threats, intimidation, and racist insults

against a group of student protesters. "next time you won't be going to the police station, you'll be going to the hospital," one officer is heard saying. salome was one of them. she's since filed a complaint, and was back out protesting. it's important to have policemen that are able to contain violence and to protect people. but in that case, the violence was against us. they were not protecting us. we must have been protected from them. that is really worrying to me. the protests across france were, as usual, largely peaceful, and smaller than last week. but police say some mainstream protesters are joining agitators in attacking them. after the covid, after everything that happened to france, the inflation and everything, people will start to be really tense. and that doesn't help to reduce the violence against the police, because the police is representing the state. so, in a way, when you attack the police, you might feel you're protesting against the state.

fires are burning across france as president macron struggles for a way out of this crisis, with political negotiations frozen and the streets on fire. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. the uk public�*s satisfaction with the nhs has slumped to its lowest level ever recorded — according to a new poll. the british social attitudes survey — which measures the public�*s view of the health service — has found that waiting times and staff shortages were the biggest concerns. our 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. some of technology's biggest names are calling for a pause in the development of advanced artificial intelligence until safety measures have been

developed and implemented. elon musk and apple's co—founder, steve wozniak are among those who've signed an open letter saying powerful ai systems should be only developed once there's confidence that the effects will be positive and the risks manageable. critics fear the rapid growth of ai could threaten jobs or be used for malicious purposes. the uk government has set out plans today to regulate ai with new guidelines on responsible use, describing it as one of the "technologies of tomorrow". ivana bartoletti is an ai expert she has more details. i think it is clear now that artificial intelligence has some tremendous opportunities so it surely can contribute to the future to make a better future for us, but at the same time i think we have seen some risks and we have seen, for example, the risk of artificial intelligence producing bias,

the risk of disinformation. the risk of manipulation. so it is only fair that we wrap some controls and regulation around it so i certainly do welcome that business leaders are saying we need to regulate and we need modern, smart regulations to harness the potential of ai while also mitigating the risks. who does the regulating? that is a very good question. a lot of legislation is there so a! does not exist in isolation, so privacy law, human rights legislation, labour laws, equality, that is there but artificial intelligence does present some further risk so it is really important that we look at what is there so the uk, for example, they have put together today, they are issuing a white paper on regulation, with the idea we can regulate in a smart way and bring together

regulators that will be well funded, i hope, to be able to do this, but in europe there is the european artificial intelligence act which is being negotiated and we will see tough legislation from china, for example, an legislation being discussed at the united nations. and there is legislation coming in relation to artificial intelligence, joe biden has been very clear in saying that a! has got to be rooted in human rights. it cannot undermine human rights and equality. so what we need to do is we need to have regulations and we need to have rules that define the rules of the game so we know what we are dealing with and we need to make sure that ai is not bias and it is transparent so

basically what we need to do is to create the environment of trust. the uk immigration minister, robertjenrick, has announced plans to move away from using hotels to house asylum seekers and instead use disused military bases —— in essex and lincolnshire, and a separate site in east sussex. he's told the house of commons that the government is also exploring the possibility of using vessels at sea. the refugee council has described the proposals as "entirely unsuitable". 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports from westminster. this is what rishi sunak is promising to stop. he is pushing a new policy through parliament which will prevent people who arrive in small boats from claiming asylum. but many of his mps are worried about the costs of housing those who are already here. the home secretary says accommodating migrants temporarily in hotels is costing £6 million a day. so, today, the government confirmed that alternative accommodation would be used.

the government will use military sites being disposed of in essex and lincolnshire and a separate site in east sussex. these will be scaled up over the coming months and will collectively provide accommodation to several thousand asylum seekers. this is the airbase in lincolnshire, once home to the world war ii dambusters. the local mp had this to say about it in the house of commons. the moment this is confirmed might constituency will issue intermediate judicial review and injection against this thoroughly bad decision which is not based on good governments but the politics of trying to do something. they are also considering using ferries and barges as temporary accommodation in due course, but labour say the plans don't hold water. we need to end costly and inappropriate hotel use,

but these plans don't do that. they will not end hotel use, and instead these sites are additional and ministers should have been finding cheaper sites and properly managing costs years ago. currently, the bbc understands, around 51,000 migrants are housed in 385 hotels. the two airbases will have a capacity of about 1,500 to 2,000 each, so initially this extra capacity is more likely to be used mainly for new arrivals rather than to rehouse those already in hotels. government ministers are hoping that the prospect of being put in more rudimentry accommodation, as they call it, might dissuade some migrants from making the dangerous journey to the uk in the first place. but they are also under pressure from their own mps to clear out the hotels because of opposition in some local communities. as one mp said, we can't blame labourfor this, we have got to sort this out otherwise we could lose the next election.

the government is keen to be seen at least two begin this process but the lib dems say they would not have started from here. the problem is very clear. you need to make sure that these refugee and asylum applications are processed really, really quickly, and then if they pass that test, these people can go and work and contribute to society and actually play their part, and if they fail the test, then they should be deported. rishi sunak knows his pledge to stop the small boats is not something which can be achieved quickly, but he will hope to prove that the tide is at least turning by the time of the next election. atime a time lapse from a ccd camera shows this volcano throwing smoke —— into the sky. 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 there. compared to the cooler conditions we saw earlier in the week it does feel much milder out there today, even with grey skies overhead. indeed, much of central and western europe, the deeper oranges and reds indicate just how much above average temperatures are at the moment. particularly so across eastern parts of spain, above 30 degrees for a few over the next few days, close to march records. but as i said, that comes even with a lot of cloud for us here in the uk. a deep area of low pressure out towards the west, dragging up that warm air from the south, but extensive cloud for the rest of your day. outbreaks of rain, heaviest in the west, pushing a little bit further eastwards again into the afternoon, although some livelier bursts of rain in towards devon and cornwall as we hit the evening. these are your temperatures for the evening rush hour. in fact, still in the mid—teens, about 6 degrees above where we should be in some parts

of the country. into tonight, we will see bursts of heavy, maybe thundery rain work their way from the south—west through the midlands, out towards lincolnshire and east anglia before gradually clearing. windy night across the far north and north—west of scotland, but another mild night, temperatures not dropping much lower than around 5—7 degrees. most places in england and wales staying in double digits. so, a pretty warm start to thursday. we are in between two weather systems. that warm south—westerly airflow will be with us but low pressure still close by and so whilst there will be a bit more sunshine tomorrow, there could be some big downpours. 0vernight rain just clearing to begin with, eastern england and across shetland. skies are bright, sunshine. showers quickly get going in the west, transferring their way eastwards, through the midlands, north—east england, we could see some rumbles of thunder, flashes of lightning with it and a line of showers from the south—west to the home counties. sunshine in between, though. it is going to feel very warm for this stage in march, 17 degrees possible, which will make it close to one of the warmest days of the year so far. we finish the day with some showers fading, and then into thursday night,

outbreaks of heavy rain sweeps across wales, the midlands, southern england in particular, and the winds strengthen. now, it's this area of low pressure, it's going to be pushing across us. and to the south of it, the strongest of the winds. having their main impact across france but the channel islands and through the english channel is where we could see some potentially disruptive gusts of wind, 50—65 mph. outbreaks of rain here. rain coming and going through england and wales through the day, also northern ireland. brightest conditions in the west of scotland. cloudier to the east of scotland with a few showers. not quite as warm as it will be on thursday but still temperatures above average for the time of year.

inside the facility, which is located just south of the border crossing at the stanton—lerdo bridge, which links ciudad juarez with the city of el paso in texas. welljoining me now is bbc mundo's ana maria roura. i suppose the implication here is that these migrants were left to their fate by the officials. just bring is up—to—date with what we know. bring is up-to-date with what we know. , ., bring is up-to-date with what we know. , . , ., ., know. ok, there is an investigation coin: know. ok, there is an investigation auoin on know. ok, there is an investigation going on and _ know. ok, there is an investigation going on and these _ know. ok, there is an investigation going on and these 32nd _ know. ok, there is an investigation going on and these 32nd video - know. ok, there is an investigation going on and these 32nd video is i going on and these 32nd video is really shocking, president of mexico saying today in a statement that anyone responsible for the situation will have to face justice but there are many questions to be answered, for example if the immigrants were assisted and specifically when they were assisted. we are talking about a tragedy that took place in the

context of a record influx of immigrants trying to reach the united states and this is something thatis united states and this is something that is not only happening in ciudad juarez, it is happening in all cities across the border. thousands of people are just walking many days, probably months, with their kids, families and when they reach the border, they cannot cross the border so they try to survive in these cities like ciudad juarez and then they can pick up as they were on monday by the police and brought to the centres like the centre of the tragedy took place, and i have a colleague from bbc mundo was there

15 days ago and described the situation and desperation and that is the best route she could find to describe the life that many people, thousands of people are living in any border right now in the context of the new measures from the biden administration that started in january 2023. d0 administration that started in january 2021— administration that started in january 2023. administration that started in janua 2023. ., ., , ., ., january 2023. do we have any idea of the sort of conditions _ january 2023. do we have any idea of the sort of conditions that _ january 2023. do we have any idea of the sort of conditions that people - the sort of conditions that people are held in if they are picked up by the police? irate are held in if they are picked up by the police?— the police? we do not have many details about _ the police? we do not have many details about some _ the police? we do not have many details about some people - the police? we do not have many details about some people who i the police? we do not have many i details about some people who have been reporting there, mentioning in these men sell where the fire started that there were more than 50 people retained their and this is the version of mexican authorities but they were protesting after it

what they are is back to prisons and what we've heard is the conditions in the stations are pretty abhorrent, overcrowding, people having not a lot of access to food and water, mistreatment by the institute guards, just generally a lack of respect for their human rights and lives and dignity in the stations and i think it is tragic because migration in mexico is not necessarily a crime but they are being treated as if they were criminals in these migration stations. , , . , ., , stations. this is a terrible tragedy that has happened _ stations. this is a terrible tragedy that has happened with _ stations. this is a terrible tragedy that has happened with clearly . stations. this is a terrible tragedy| that has happened with clearly the authorities still to investigate and find out how this happened but do you think there is any will, political will for conditions to be made betterfor political will for conditions to be made better for the political will for conditions to be made betterfor the migrants? i made betterforthe migrants? i think the track record shows no, this is— think the track record shows no, this is not— think the track record shows no, this is not the first time that massive _ this is not the first time that massive loss of migrants has occurred _ massive loss of migrants has occurred in mexico with not even the

sure, the people coming from the border currently come from various countries in latin america, the largest group of people that were in this detention centre, migration station, came from guatemala and we know a lot of people there are fleeing real dire economic conditions, really higher levels of extortion and abuses by gangs as well as the government. many of those people were indigenous and have historically faced extreme disk nation and challenges in their country and the gender based violence, for example, among other things and that is one of the reasons why they are fleeing and another big group of people in the migration station from venezuela. as we know venezuela is in the dictatorship with a terrible economic situation. many fleeing from venezuela because they cannot afford medication, food, basic

necessities so a lot of them have gone into countries in north america and coming to the border so many have their own situation but we can point to deteriorating conditions in latin america, corruption and lack of access tojustice, latin america, corruption and lack of access to justice, to safety and to basic services are some of the main drivers. thank you. sport now, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's hugh ferris. hello to you. indonesia will not host this year's under 20 football world cup after fifa stripped the country of its right to stage the tournament. last friday's draw for the 2a team competition was cancelled by the indonesian organisers following protests earlier this month in the muslim majority country against the participation of israel and the world governing body have acted following a meeting between their president gianni

infantino and the chairman of the host country's federation. fifa's statement... without specifying details, said they have "decided, due to what they've described as the current circumstances, to remove indonesia as the host of the fifa u—20 world cup 2023. a new host will be announced as soon as possible, with the dates of the tournament currently remaining unchanged. that is may to june that is may tojune this year. potential sanctions against the pssi, that's the indonesian federation, may also be decided at a later stage." barcelona take a 1—0 lead into the second leg of their champions league quarter final against roma. that match is about to start at camp nou. barca were last year's beaten finalists. arsenal will attempt to overturn a 1—0 deficit after losing the first leg against bayern munich in germany last week. they're expecting a bumper crowd of around 20,000 at the emirates for the second match later as they hope to reach the last four for the first time in a decade. one of the men tasked with finding

a replacement for antonio conte as tottenham manager will have to step aside after he had a ban. initially handed out in italy, extended worldwide by fifa. fabio paratici is the club's managing director of football, having joined spurs from juventus — who were found guilty of false accounting during his time there. meanwhile one of the tottenham players has admitted he feels �*partially responsible' for conte's sacking. translation: i'm really sorry, he is a world-class — translation: i'm really sorry, he is a world-class coach _ translation: i'm really sorry, he is a world-class coach and _ translation: i'm really sorry, he is a world-class coach and we - translation: i'm really sorry, he is a world-class coach and we had - translation: i'm really sorry, he is a world-class coach and we had a - a world—class coach and we had a greatjourney a world—class coach and we had a great journey together, a world—class coach and we had a greatjourney together, i'm grateful for what he has done and i do not know what the other players think but i feel very sorry to the coach. i should have played better and i feel responsible for his departure because i have not helped the club all that much. since the coach has such good skills and a lot of experience, i'm sure he will achieve good results and other pursuits and i will be rooting for him. i want to finish the rest of the season well for my team members and my club when i return. at least one bid has been submitted to buy nfl team

the washington commanders with us media reporting nba legend magicjohnson is part of it — and it could be worth six billion dollars which would make the commanders the most expensive franchise in us sports history. a potential sale is being explored by controversial owner dan snyder, who purchased the team in 1999, but has been the subject of several investigations into his running of the commanders. a report by the us congress that said snyder "permitted and participated" in a toxic workplace culture and tried to stop others cooperating with the league's attempts to investigate. anthonyjoshua sees his fight with americanjermaine franklin this saturday as a potential springboard to bigger things. the o2 arena bout will bejoshua's first since losing a rematch with 0leksandr usyk in august. franklin has lost only one of 22 professional fights, whilejoshua has now lost three of his last five. yeah, it is massive. ifeel like, in

comparison, when we've been speaking ahead of championship fights, people think it is not that important but the reason i say it is important is because every fight leads on to something and i'm trying to get somewhere in life so it is so important because i want a better future for myself and through that i want to be beating most opponents i fight and on saturday i have an assignment to get through. and once paralympic sport's fastest man, jason smyth, has retired at the age of 35. the sprinter earned six paralympic titles which included 100 metre and 200 metre doubles at the beijing and london games in 2008 and 2012. smyth — who's visually impaired — stayed unbeaten during a paralympic career which began at the 2005 european championships, winning nine world titles and six european gold medals. and that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. now... officials in the dutch capital,

amsterdam, have launched a digital campaign to try to reduce the number of british tourists coming in search of drugs, sex and alcohol. discouraging adverts like this one will target 18—35 year old men in the uk. the messages are automatically triggered when search terms such as stag party, cheap hotel or pub crawl in amsterdam are typed in. i'm joined now by anna holligan, our correspondent in amsterdam. why is it british men who are being specifically targeted?— specifically targeted? well, this is an effort to _ specifically targeted? well, this is an effort to try _ specifically targeted? well, this is an effort to try to _ specifically targeted? well, this is an effort to try to rebrand - an effort to try to rebrand amsterdam's rather raunchy reputation. i do not know if you've ever been here before but i am in the heart of amsterdam's red light district and i want to just give you a flavour of what it is like here. if i spin the camera around, you can see over here there is a hanky—panky tattoo shop, a bar offering lots of drinks offers, a red lit brothel,

sex workers not working at the moment but they are all the way down this little cobbled street, more brothels, and over here, countless cannabis cafe is, more than 160 cannabis cafe is, more than 160 cannabis cafe is in the dutch capital in fact and this is undeniably one of the main draws for some of the1 undeniably one of the main draws for some of the 1 million undeniably one of the main draws for some of the1 million british tourists who visit amsterdam every year and on the bridge isjust behind me here, you might be able to see there are notices saying things like no urinating in public or you could face a fine and it really is targeting british people because it is only in the uk when you put those search terms, cheap hotel amsterdam, pub crawl, red light district, it will generate those warning ads which are to deter any young british men who may be intending to come to amsterdam for what the city council has described as a wild time. is it

singing at the tops of their voices after binge drinking and they have been putting pressure on the city council but they also say it is not just the young brits that are the problem here, it is the sheer numbers, the over tourism so what amsterdam city council is trying to do here is target one specific group which it thinks can be kept away with these messages but a lot of the british tourists i've spoken to here in the red light district say you're highlighting all the things we come for and it will not work and if it does amsterdam will turn into a ghost town so it is a fine line, a very delicate and sensitive subject but amsterdam feels like it needs to do something and so this is one of the measures it is taking to try to revamp this rather seedy reputation it has started to generate in the uk and abroad. it has started to generate in the uk and abroad-—

tthree years ago a ten—year—old boy decided to camp out in his garden every night, to raise money for his local hospice. since then, max woosey — now known as �*tent boy�* has met the uk prime minister, won a pride of britain award and been recognised by the guinness book of world records. after spending more than one thousand nights in the tent, max has now decided it's time to move back inside. john maguire is with him this morning. what are your camping photos like? are they as good as max woosey�*s? max woosey has been camping out in his garden. but now it's time to pack up his latest tent and head indoors. i've had the best three years of my life. it's been ups and downs. i started this because i wanted to raise money for the north devon hospice, since all their fundraising was cut, and the plan was to do the first, the second lockdown. let's finish on a high, and there hopefully are more

it's a tribute to his incredible versatility that paul 0'grady was equally at home as the warm and gentle presenter of shows like for the love of dogs... hiya. hi, paul. how you doing? i'm all right. this little one isn't doing so well. and as the acerbic, acid—tongued lily savage. 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 know she had a littlewoods catalogue. iwas flaming. it was as lily that he first found fame hosting some of television's best known shows... it's thursday, it's 7:00. it's top of the pops! ladies and gentlemen, miss lily savage. ..with her trademark self—deprecating humour. this is the all new blankety blank. brand spanking new. well, you wish, you know. got lino, new lino. and the prizes are better this time round. a four—slice

toaster instead of a two. rupaul�*s drag race winner danny beard says paul was a massive influence for so many. i think anyone that does thisjob and doesn't class paul as an icon, as an inspiration, i don't think they're worth their bread. he was an icon through and through, not just for many queens and for many people from liverpool, for so many working class people. it's a sad, sad day. i'm sorry i'm not suited and booted, but i thought, you know, with it being the edinburgh festival and with it being comedy, with it being fringe, to be quite frank, i haven't even had a wash, you know what i mean? eventually he decided to escape from lily's formidable shadow, performing as himself and hosting a variety of daytime and evening chat and entertainment shows. please welcome your host, paul 0'grady. as well as a 1a—year stint on radio 2. today's tributes have been led by the queen consort, who said she was deeply saddened to hear of the death of paul 0'grady, who worked with her in support of battersea dogs

visit france last weekend but the trip was postponed because of ongoing tension and protests. many more news and stories to come at the top of the hour but for me it's goodbye. hello there. compared to the cooler conditions we saw earlier in the week it does feel much milder out there today, even with grey skies overhead. indeed, much of central and western europe, the deeper oranges and reds indicate just how much above average temperatures are at the moment. particularly so across eastern parts of spain, above 30 degrees for a few over the next few days, close to march records. but as i said, that comes even with a lot of cloud for us here in the uk. a deep area of low pressure out towards the west, dragging up that warm air from the south, but extensive cloud for the rest of your day. outbreaks of rain, heaviest in the west, pushing a little bit further eastwards again into the afternoon, although some livelier bursts of rain in towards devon and cornwall as we hit the evening. these are your temperatures for the evening rush hour. in fact, still in the mid—teens, about 6 degrees above where we should be in some parts of the country.

into tonight, we will see bursts of heavy, maybe thundery rain work their way from the south—west through the midlands, out towards lincolnshire and east anglia before gradually clearing. windy night across the far north and north—west of scotland, but another mild night, temperatures not dropping much lower than around 5—7 degrees. most places in england and wales staying in double digits. so, a pretty warm start to thursday. we are in between two weather systems. that warm south—westerly airflow will be with us but low pressure still close by and so whilst there will be a bit more sunshine tomorrow, there could be some big downpours. 0vernight rain just clearing to begin with, eastern england and across shetland. skies are bright, sunshine. showers quickly get going in the west, transferring their way eastwards, through the midlands, north—east england, we could see some rumbles of thunder, flashes of lightning with it and a line of showers from the south—west to the home counties. sunshine in between, though. it is going to feel very warm for this stage in march, 17 degrees possible, which will make it close to one of the warmest days of the year so far. we finish the day with some showers fading, and then into thursday night, outbreaks of heavy rain sweeps across wales, the midlands, southern england in particular, and the winds strengthen. now, it's this area of low pressure,

it's going to be pushing across us. and to the south of it, the strongest of the winds. having their main impact across france but the channel islands and through the english channel is where we could see some potentially disruptive gusts of wind, 50—65 mph. outbreaks of rain here. rain coming and going through england and wales through the day, also northern ireland. brightest conditions in the west of scotland. cloudier to the east of scotland with a few showers. not quite as warm as it will be on thursday but still temperatures above average for the time of year.
