6:08 am
approaching the ferry terminal are actually here. when the bbc team were here yesterday at the same time they were stuck in really bad traffic and the approach but we sailed through. what you can see is that there are a lot of coaches queueing to get into the ferry terminal and it is the coaches and those on—board that have really suffered in this. the school children who are going on a ski trips for example, families, holidaymakers. they as you had, up to 14 holidaymakers. they as you had, up to 1a hours at the time waiting on—board, and that is because passport checks are now more rigourous since brexit and it means that every page of a passport act to be checked. and if you think about a there are maybe 40, 50 people on those coaches and that is what is taking the time, but the ferry terminals at the port of dover say they didn't expect so many coaches to be coming down here for the easter break, they say they had made contingency plans for cars and other

more to show. the fans come out every time, and classic anthony joshua, getting his picture taken long after the match last night, taking his selfies. but he knows, and he said it himself, that he should have taken the knockout punch, which he failed to do. it was an unanimous points victory at the 02 an unanimous points victory at the o2 arena. ade adeyoin was there. anthonyjoshua! anthony joshua! anthony joshua back to winnin: anthony joshua! anthony joshua back to winning ways. _ anthony joshua! anthony joshua back to winning ways, not _ anthony joshua! anthony joshua back to winning ways, not a _ anthony joshua! anthony joshua back to winning ways, not a classic, - anthony joshua! anthony joshua back to winning ways, not a classic, but i to winning ways, not a classic, but it was compelling. no titles at stake, butjoshua's career was on the line. it started as a cat and mouse affair, joshua cautious and in cruise control. when his ramrod jabbed and clubbing right—hand did land, the american stood firm. there was a chance to finish it later on, but it was a missed opportunity. so a comfortable win in the end, but tempers flared after the final bell and the pair had to be separated. solid but not spectacular, but what
6:23 am
did joshua think of his performance? deep, deep, deep down, i'm not happy, because ultimately the ultimate goal is a knockout. there is nothing that can top a knockout. anything short of that isn't what i'm happy with, if i'm honest with you. but it is what it is. as i said, i can't look back on it anymore, what's done is done. so not the knockout — anymore, what's done is done. so not the knockout victory _ anymore, what's done is done. so not the knockout victory that _ anymore, what's done is done. so not the knockout victory that many - the knockout victory that many predicted better nonetheless for anthonyjoshua. judging by the reaction of the crowd, he remains a huge draw and there will be a clamour to see him face the wbc champion, tyson fury. staying with boxing, tributes have been coming in for ken buchanan, scotland's first undisputed world champion and arguably the country's greatest boxer, who has died at the age of 77. buchanan memorably won the wba lightweight world title by dethroning panama's ismael laguna in the scorching heat of puerto rico in 1970. that same year, he was the american boxing writers association's fighter of the year, ahead of joe frazier and muhammad ali.

arsenal again showed why this could be the season where they win the premier league — not something we thought we would be saying at the start of the season. no stopping them at the moment. leeds found that out at the emirates, as mikel arteta's side restored their eight—point lead over manchester city at the top of the table with a 4—1win. this was the second of gabrieljesus's goals on his return to the pitch following injury. i think the national break is always a state of mind, and to come back to the premier league and do the things that are necessary to win in this league, i'm really happy with the performance. we can only control what we can do, and let's be the best that we can be, and that's it. that's 100 best that we can be, and that's it. that's100 victories as arsenal manager— that's100 victories as arsenal manager for you in all competitions. well done _ manager for you in all competitions. well done. . ., manager for you in all competitions. well done. ., ,, , ., , manager for you in all competitions. well done. . ~' , . well done. thank you very much. i didn't know. _ well done. thank you very much. i didn't know, but _ well done. thank you very much. i didn't know, but it's _ well done. thank you very much. i didn't know, but it's a _ well done. thank you very much. i didn't know, but it's a beautiful- didn't know, but it's a beautiful number, and let's go for the next one. manchester city have strongly condemned damage to the liverpool team coach on its journey back from the etihad stadium. it happened after city won 4—1 to keep the pressure on arsenal.
6:25 am
world cup winnerjulian alvarez was on the scoresheet, but afterwards city boss pep guardiola had to answer questions about his reaction to that goal after appearing to celebrate in the face of liverpool substitute kostas tsimikas. i'm so sorry. it is a lack of respect. you celebrate the goal the way i celebrate with my son, come here and it is nice, isn't it? that's all. i'm so sorry. you think it shows a lack of respect? ok, sorry. i'm so sorry. heartfelt apology from pep guardiola. back in october, chelsea were 12 spots above aston villa in the table, but things can change quickly. john mcginn's excellent strike helping villa to a 2—0 win at stamford bridge to send them up to ninth, with graham potterfacing increasing pressure with chelsea now 11th. we have to accept that and do
6:26 am
better. it's as simple as that, but in terms of the game, you could see the effort from the players. they gave everything, took responsibility. they tried, they had lots of entries in the box, shots, attacks, but if you look at the stats apart from the main one, there's a lot of positives there. but at the moment it doesn't feel too positive. chelsea and liverpool might be struggling, but brighton and brentford are thriving this season and dreaming of european football. they played out a 3—3 draw at the amex stadium, alexis mac allister with a last—minute penalty. roy hodgson made a winning return to the dugout in his second stint in charge of crystal palace, and what late drama there was at selhurst park too. jean—philippe mateta's stoppage—time winner proved the difference against leicester. 2—1 it finished. palace now sit five points clear of the drop zone. that was a fantastic way to win a game, and i'm notjust talking about the fact that it was a last—minute goal. i think the way that the team played throughout the 94 minutes was worthy of a lot of praise, worthy of
6:27 am
a lot of credit. and i think that the scoreline certainly doesn't flatter us. celtic will have the chance to restore their nine—point lead at the top of the scottish premiership when they travel to ross county at lunchtime. rangers cut the gap to six with a 2—0 win at home to dundee united. malik tillman showed why they're desperate to keep him beyond the summer as the on—loan midfielder scored both goals in the win. elsewhere, motherwell beat hibs. manchester united have gone three points clear at the top of the women's super league after beating struggling brighton. leah galton headed the visitors in front early on before adding a second midway through the second half. substitutes rachel williams and lucia garcia scored late on to make it 4—0. manchester city can keep the pressure on united when they play arsenal later today. wales and france finished their winning start to the women's six nations. it was another tale of scottish heartbreak at the hands of the welsh

6:37 am
of the world's oldest cultures. things like this make me happy because it's ensuring that things are changing. how to see the world without being able to hear it. you would see that the smell is close, but then the next smell and the mouth is different. and a teetotal tipple in the land of wine. it's good actually! i don't like it. hello there from sunny paris, where later on in the show i will be finding out whether the city of love is ready to relinquish its favourite drink, but first... we're off to sydney,
6:38 am
which is celebrating 50 years since its first gay pride week. and five since same—sex couples were given the same marriage rights as everybody else. so that's made this year's pride event all the more special, as jackie wakefield has been finding out. the summer season in sydney, and everyone is out on the streets. it's the time of year the parks and open spaces are full of parades, parties and concerts. and this year, after the quiet of australia's long lockdown, nobody needs much excuse to head outside to reconnect with their friends. most cities have a pride celebration. they have become a regular fixture in the calendar, but this year in sydney, we have got a special edition — world pride is in town.
6:39 am
god save the queen! world pride is like a touring jamboree, held in a different place every other year, and for some, sydney is the perfect host. it's going to be the queerest, biggest celebration of pride we have ever experienced here in australia. you think mardi gras is big — this is mardi gras on steroids. it's so free! i've only been in sydney for a couple of years, i came from tasmania, so sydney is pretty awesome. it's nice to see everybody out and about, celebrating, even friends who aren't in the community, just everybody gets together for it. 45 years ago, we call our '78ers, in 1978, a group of people marched on the streets and protested for equality. a lot of people were brutally attacked, a lot of people were put injail, and from them was the start of our first public pride movement in 1978, which has now turned into our sydney gay and lesbian mardi gras parade. this is the first time that
6:40 am
a world pride has taken place here, so i say to people we won it on three things. we won it on our first nations disability and inclusion and culture because we are the oldest surviving culture on the planet. we won it on the advocacy of our '78ers and our sydney gay and lesbian mardi gras, and we also won it because of our relationship with the asia—pacific region. in previous years, it has been held in new york and copenhagen. this is a first time it has come to the southern hemisphere, and that allows the spotlight to be shone on people from the oldest known surviving culture on earth. welcome, each and every one of you, onto my gadigal people's custodial land. applause normally this place is an arts centre, but during world pride it's

where australia's first nations lgbt community has been coming, and for the duration, they have renamed it marri madung butbut, or the gathering space. chocolate box grew up in a small town in new south wales and is now a drag act in demand. in fact, she won the miss first nations competition in 2019 and 2020, and is competing again this year for the title of supreme queen. i fell into drag because i was working as a bartender at a gay venue and i saw a drag and i said, "that looks fun," and it looked like a way i could continue my dance career and like live out my dream basically, and i did it, fell in love with it, got asked to do a show and then asked to come back, and here we are eight and a half years later — it's my job, it's fabulous. your cultural background, how does that come into your performance? the way we tell stories,
6:42 am
that's how we communicate, that's how we pass on our... there is no realfamily heirlooms, there's no material things, we tell stories, we pass stories down from generation to generation, and that's what we're doing on stage every time we get out there, we're telling our story, we're painting a picture for the audience to imagine. we all need, everyone just needs to communicate more really, it would make the world much easier. australia's government said world pride had the potential to be the biggest event in sydney since the olympics in 2000. for first nations communities, it's a very bright spotlight, and an opportunity like no other. what does it mean for you personally as a first nations man in the lgbt community?
6:43 am
what does that mean for you to see everything happening today? ten, 20 years ago, i don't think something like this this would have happened, so to be able to see our community and our culture front and centre is something that is so incredible, because if you can see it, you could be it. what is it like to be black queer person in australia? we've got the struggle of equality being queer, and the struggle of equality being indigenous people in this county, first people from this country, so i think there is a lot of work to go. things like this make me happy because it's ensuring that things are changing and the conversations are happening, but there is a lot of truth telling that needs to happen, there's a lot of healing, and i think it comes from the non—indigenous part to be able to actually really recognise what happened here, and the effects of what happened all those years ago. chocolate box's dance set took
6:44 am
runners—up in the end. the title of world pride's miss first nations supreme queen went to cerulean — a drag artist from melbourne, and the next world pride will be in washington, dc in 2025. jackie wakefield in sydney. if you are planning to spend any time there this year, here are some of the things we think you should know. the landmark sydney opera house celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. there are loads of events and performances planned, including the inside out at the house seven—day festival in may. shows will be simulcast live to audiences outside on the forecourt, and you can pick up tickets for that, starting at $10. the city is also hosting a south—by—southwest festival in october. it normally takes place in texas every march.
6:45 am
this is the first time it will ever have been held outside north america! expect lots of music, film and gaming events, red carpet premiers, esports tournaments and concerts across the city throughout the week. finally, one thing definitely worth wrapping your mouth around while you are in town is the great aussie pie. you will see pie stands around all the main sports grounds, but in recent years there has been an explosion in higher end alternatives. try the wagyu beef, or the lankan chicken curry in the surry hills bakeries, or you can search out harry's cafe d'wheels, which has been serving its famous tiger pies for more than 80 years. right. next this week, we're off to mexico city, where you will find amazing street food pretty much everywhere. our global gourmet has been to meet
6:48 am
still to come on the travel show... see the world without being able to hear it. and why france is saying 'non' to a booze free future. not my taste. i like wine, regular one, i am used to that. so don't go away! a trip down memory lane next, and one from our series of encounters with travellers who experience the world very differently.
6:49 am
6:53 am
cork pops. to end this week, back in the french capital and taking some time out for a little tipple. whether you're mad for merlot or salivate over a sauvignon blanc, the city of love swoons for a glass of wine. as other countries have music orfashion, in france, you'll see a glass of wine on each table in any bistro or michelin—starred restaurant. i mean, there are paintings about wine, they fought wars about wine. it's worth 25 billion euro a year to the french economy and then,
6:54 am
there were 5.5 billion bottles produced in france last year. but as bars and restaurants all over the world shut their doors, the pandemic forced loads of us to reassess our relationship with booze and explore more non—alcoholic alternatives. international sales of non—alcoholic drinks have shot up by a quarter but in france, the growth has been slower, reportedlyjust 4% in the same period. so, how do parisians feel about alcohol free wine? i've never tried it. i like wine — regular wine. i'm used to that. i think we're losing something. you want to feel the taste. it's not as fun, either. one man hoping to transform french attitudes is augustin. hello, ade! bonjour!
6:55 am
last year, he set up what he says is paris's first shop entirely devoted to non—alcoholic drinks. do you get any snobbery? do you get people who come in and when they hear there's no alcohol, they're like, "what?! "what is this? !" yeah, at the beginning, some people were kind of making fun orjust laughing when they entered. but then, for us, it's not against alcohol because most of our customers, they're what we call 'flexi—drinkers,�* so they keep drinking alcohol but they also, time to time, want to have a break. of course, you have all the pregnant women, the muslim people who never drink alcohol. actually, it came from my own story because i quit drinking during the pandemic. i don't like soda, i don't like very sweet beverages i was looking for other options. he's far from the first person to ride this trend. a few rounds of alcohol—free bars have opened up over the past few years all across the world. from 0% tokyo to sans bar in texas, to the virgin mary in dublin. along with spirits and beers, augustin stocks two kinds of alcohol—free wine.
6:56 am
the first is dealcoholised. it's fermented like a traditional wine before the alcohol is then removed. you'll see the smell is close, but then the lands in the mouth is different. you know what? that is so interesting. so, i can taste the kind of familiarity and then, i'm waiting for the alcohol. but it hasn't arrived. it's like wine—light. the second kind doesn't involve fermentation and is more like a poshjuice. and this one is very good if you eat it with your meat or pasta. we've picked a particularly potent one made from... ..beetroot. it's busy. i don't think i'm ready for this one yet. but this is exactly what we see with our customers. so now, they are more looking into substitutes,
6:57 am
so the dealcoholised and fermented wine, and we know in some years they may look for new recipes and new techniques and everything. but are parisians ready to embrace this new gastronomic experience? there's only one way for me to find out. excuse—moi? s'il vous plait. would you like to try some non—alcoholic wine? it's good, actually! i like it! i don't like it. i don't think it tastes like wine. no, it's sweeter, i think. 0h! it's actually good! you like it? yes. wow! that's the dealcoholised wine. now, for the beetroot. not my case. it's more... more acidic? ..acid, yes. more acidic.
6:58 am
it's...this one's bitter, but... laughs. and whether they like the wines or not, most of the parisians we spoke to were at least open to alcohol—free alternatives. yes, because i'm not fond of alcohol. i prefer the taste. so, for you, it'sjust finding something that has the right taste? yes. and then it'll be a winner? yep. cork pops. i'm not sure if the people of paris are quite ready to give up traditional wine just yet. but the idea of being able to have a couple of glasses without having a hangover the next day, i think it's pretty cool. well, that's your lot for this week. coming up next time — rajan's in the spanish city of malaga as it marks 50 years since the death of its most famous son, the artist pablo picasso. you can see the influence of the city on his art, it's very diverse and
6:59 am
there is a lot going on. and we are in glasgow to reveal the hidden story behind the uk's real national dish — which is not fish and chips, in case you were wondering. have ever told anyone outside the restaurant what's inside? no. until then, you know how it works. you can find us on bbc iplayer as well as on social media, too. we're in all the usual places, along with lots of other great travel content from around the bbc. see you soon. bye—bye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben boulos and tina daheley. our headlines today: three british men are being held by the taliban in afghanistan. the foreign office says it's working hard to make contact with them. school leaders representing hundreds of acadamies call for a rethink about how ofsted carries out inspections. extra ferries sailed overnight to clear the backlog at dover, where some travellers waited upto 14 hours. officials hope services will be back to normal by midday. solid but not spectacular. antonyjoshua beatsjermaine frankin in his comeback fight, but fails to land a knockout punch.
7:01 am
good morning, cloud around this morning but things will brighten through the day. less windy with more sunshine than yesterday. more details coming up. it's sunday, second april. our main story: three british men are being held in custody by the taliban in afghanistan. a humanitarian organisation said two of the men were arrested injanuary, while a third was detained on a different date. the foreign office says it's working hard to make contact with them, as helena wilkinson reports. back under taliban control since the summer of 2021, now it's emerged that three british men are being held in custody by the taliban in afghanistan. so maybe i might be evacuated tonight, maybe next week, maybe a month. it's understood one of them is miles routledge.
7:02 am
he was evacuated from the country during the final days of the occupation in 2021. he's built up a social media following, visiting dangerous places. two other british men are also in custody. one of them is kevin cornwell, a 53—year—old charity worker. it's understood he's a paramedic and has been working in afghanistan for some time. another british man, who hasn't been named, was detained at the same time as mr cornwell injanuary. no formal charges have been laid against the two men. the organisation supporting the families of mr cornwell, and the man who hasn't been named, said the men are facing challenges. the difficulty that you have in the current system in afghanistan is that there's no codified rule of law as we would understand it, and so when somebody becomes subject to these kinds of procedures there's no legal access, there's no representation, there's no access to consulate officials,
7:03 am
so they've essentially been in a diplomatic and legal black hole for some time. in a statement the foreign office said:. families who will be no doubt desperate for the men's safe release. helena wilkinson, bbc news. coach passengers are continuing to face long delays at the port of dover this morning, caused by the build—up of easter traffic. additional ferry services were laid on overnight to try to clear the backlog, but the waiting time is still at least three hours. the problems began on friday, caused by poor weather and long processing times at the french border. our reporter louisa pilbeam in doverfor us, louisa, how are things looking there this morning?
7:04 am
it has, yes, good news, roads approaching the port of dover are clear this morning. yesterday they were gridlocked. that is good news. the coaches in the background, you can see a lot of them still queueing. they will be there for a while, between three and five hours in this holding area. on them are schoolchildren going on trips, holidaymakers, families. they have been stuck on—board in some cases without food. i was contacted on social media by a family who said their children haven't had anything other than some chocolate and drinks. another mother said her children were on—board one of these coaches for 16 hours. they are really suffering there. the port of dover have said that they hope everything will go back to normal by
7:05 am
midday. certainly hear both cars aren't queueing like they were yesterday. the road that goes across the back of me here, bow bridge, that gridlocked yesterday, so things i think will be returning to normal soon. fairies have been put on — extra fairies to get people moving. and these checks that are taking place since brexit, but has been holding things up, especially with the coaches. passports now need to be checked. every page. if you have 40, 50, 60 people on be checked. every page. if you have 40,50, 60 people on a be checked. every page. if you have 40, 50, 60 people on a coach than that will take a lot of time.- that will take a lot of time. thank ou. sarah everard's killer wayne couzens, could be in line for a 7,000 pound a year police pension, according to the mayor of london sadiq khan. he's successfully applied to strip couzens of pension payments earned while working at the metropolitan police, but believes he also qualifies for benefits from his previousjob in the civil nuclear constabulary. mr khan says only the government can stop him receiving the money.

labour is proposing new rules which would place a legal obligation on water companies to monitor all sewage outlets to try to end the pollution of england's waterways. it comes as environment secretary therese coffey is expected to announce that companies found dumping raw sewage, could face unlimited fines. while labour say this plan is flimsy, the government thinks sir keir starmer�*s proposals would leave the public facing higher water bills. to report child sexual abuse or face prosecution under government plans. people working with children in england will be legally required to report child sexual abuse or face prosecution under government plans. the move was recommended by the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse and will be subject to a consultation. we're joined now by our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart. david, what do we know about these proposals? it comes from a recommendation from
7:07 am
that inquiry, set up in the wake of thejimmy savile that inquiry, set up in the wake of the jimmy savile scandal, that inquiry, set up in the wake of thejimmy savile scandal, the inquiry said that the scale of abuse of children across england and wales was horrific and deeply disturbing. this is an issue the home secretary suella braverman is taking on, she has written in the mail on sunday newspaper talking today about grooming gangs in england and saying failure to deal with them creates a burning sense ofjustice. she stresses the vast majority of safeguarding professionals, whether they are teachers or social workers, they are teachers or social workers, they do take the issue seriously and of course would report any child sexual exploitation, but she says but in any case this does not happen, if anyone does not do this they will feel the full force of the law. we should hear more from the prime minister tomorrow. the nspcc, the charity, say this is a step in the charity, say this is a step in the right direction but more needs to be done to identify children who
7:08 am
could be at risk. we also have some political response to the government announcement, shadow home secretary every cooba says labour has been calling for a policy like this for the best part of a decade and she would like to see a better timetable to implement it. the liberal democrats are backing the policy but want more to be done to clear the current backlogs in the courts, which we know are particularly high right now. thank you, david. pope francis will lead palm sunday mass in st peter's square this morning, a day after he was discharged from hospital. he was admitted on wednesday with breathing difficulties, and later diagnosed with bronchitis. our correspondentjenny hill is in rome this morning. jenny, what's the atmosphere like there? there is a realfeeling of quiet anticipation and excitement, a

later. this morning though as people gather here in the spring sunshine, millions of catholics will be watching on television around the world. i think there is a degree of excitement, they want to hear him speaking, they want to see him. they will be looking to see how he looks. and this is of course an important time, marking, if you are, the beginning of the most significant week in the church's calendar. lots of anticipation _ week in the church's calendar. lots of anticipation and _ week in the church's calendar. lots of anticipation and excitement and lots of planning goes into the day. can you give us an idea of the rehearsals taking place, what you can see happening now?- rehearsals taking place, what you can see happening now? around 50,000 --eole are can see happening now? around 50,000 people are expected _ can see happening now? around 50,000 people are expected to _ can see happening now? around 50,000 people are expected to arrive, _ can see happening now? around 50,000 people are expected to arrive, so - people are expected to arrive, so just making sure they get in safely is a huge operation. we came through security this morning. i have looked at some of the order of what will happen. they go into fairly extreme
7:11 am
detail, lots of cardinals, lots of church officials seated in different places. you will probably be able to see the altar behind me, the sunshine is very right on st peter's. we believe the pope will be seated to the side of the altar where he will be able to watch the cardinal celebrating the palm sunday mass but he is expected to deliver the angelus at the end, i pray that he would usually be expected to deliver some remarks of his own at that point. so there is a lot of anticipation about what he might say. people here as always are very keen to hear from say. people here as always are very keen to hearfrom him. in terms of his role in recent years, obviously the covid pandemic rather changed all of that back last year he had to be seated, take a more reduced role because of a problem with his knee, so when the vatican says that he will be participating as planned as part of the easter services we don't know for sure what role as planned
7:12 am
but we can assume very safely i think that his role will be a reduced one of our cardinal perhaps stepping in today for the more difficult parts of the servers that require long periods of standing, for example. require long periods of standing, for example-— at least 26 people have been killed after a series of tornadoes swept across towns and cities in southern and mid western parts of the united states. homes were destroyed and thousands left without power, after the storms caused widespread devastation. shelley phelps has the latest. two tornadoes left a trail of destruction in arkansas. this was the small town of wynne where at least four people were killed. homes and businesses flattened. the local high school torn apart, devastated teachers and students came to see the extent of the damage for themselves.— the extent of the damage for themselves. ., ., ., themselves. yeah, i taught here for 25 ears. themselves. yeah, i taught here for 25 years this _ themselves. yeah, i taught here for 25 years. this is _ themselves. yeah, i taught here for 25 years. this is my _ themselves. yeah, i taught here for 25 years. this is my classroom - themselves. yeah, i taught here for 25 years. this is my classroom and l 25 years. this is my classroom and when i walked out yesterday i didn't realise that would be the last time

7:15 am
pressure is building across the uk, squeezing away weather front that i've been with us recently, producing rain drawing mode. some april sunshine on offer. a fair amount of cloud but we can see it melting away, lingering longer pass to central scotland, through the irish sea, wales, south—west england sees cloud as does northern ireland. the drizzly rain will clear through the day but eastern areas looking fine, settled. a breeze from the north—east across south—east england and anglia. if you are close to the east coast temperatures may reach nine, 10 degrees. further west, liverpool for instance around 13 this afternoon. into the evening, late sunshine, largely clear overnight because the cloud will melt away. light winds for most, a recipe for a cold and i do we have seen of late. we are likely to see frost around first thing tomorrow.

temperatures in a few places around the globe freezing particularly for eastern england, eastern scotland. miles across the north—west of the uk. monday, lots of dry, settled and sunny weather. waiting patiently for this sunshine so it is on its way. perhaps more cloud pushing and across northern ireland, perhaps north of scotland as well. lighter winds in the south, it will feel a bit warmer probably. for most of us ten to 13 degrees tomorrow but a little bit cooler on the coast of eastern scotland. tuesday, subtle changes, high pressure keeping things largely dry and subtle but more cloud for scotland, northern ireland, the breeze will pick up and some rain. england and wales will be dry and fine after a cold start. warm in the sunshine. it has some strength to it. top temperatures around 14. not as cold around the east coast as we lose the breeze. into the middle of the week, a little change. a couple of weather

front is working on from the atlantic. they will move to the south and east across the uk, bumping into high pressure. it will struggle to produce much rain but we may see a little through the middle of the week, particularly across northern and north—western. further south, more likely to be dry. and towards good friday and the easter weekend the weather looks to be staying dry, settled and warmer than it has been. the death of a primary school head teacher earlier this year reignited the debate over the way schools in england are inspected. ruth perry's family say she was under intolerable pressure before taking her own life following an ofsted inspection. now, dozens of academy bosses say there needs to be a major rethink of how the school's watchdog operates. our education editor branwenjeffreys has more. music is important at this london primary school, but two ofsted inspections
7:18 am
in the last year have struck a note of discord. it's been a year like no other in my life, notjust for me but for the entire school community. on a visit a year ago, inspectors raised concerns. they'd heard racist, sexist and homophobic language in the playground and wanted better record—keeping on child safety. the head teacher was told the school would go from "good" to "inadequate". i was so distraught, i went walking for about five hours before i could find the strength to return home and face people again. it was five months until the report was published in september. ofsted rejected a challenge to the "inadequate" grade. the head teacher could tell no—one. i wasn't sleeping. i was always anxious. i had lost my confidence. i had lost my self—esteem.
7:19 am
publicly, i'm here at school. you have to be seen to be resilient and strong and confident, and i hope i was still doing that as much as i possibly could. but internally, your — every essence of your being has been eroded. two months after that first report, different inspectors were back. the school had made a few changes. at the end of term it wasjudged good again, leaving some parents baffled by the disruption. it sent shockwaves through the school, and then for it to be reversed and no—one to say, "hang on a minute, that shouldn't "have happened," and someone to be held accountable for that. ofsted has a legal duty to inspect all state schools, checking that children are safe, happy and getting the education they need. i've been speaking to people who between them run hundreds of schools across england. they share similar concerns about ofsted.
7:20 am
they told me the way inspections are carried out is too rigid and that one grade that is awarded at the end doesn't give parents the full picture of what's going on. this nottingham school is part of a group of 38 academies. the chief executive says ofsted isn't taking account of the impact of the pandemic, and many others share his view. people are saying the need for change is now, but actually quite a lot of people are frightened to come out and say that we need to change. i think the fairness for some communities is not right at the moment. i think that there is an issue, particularly for disadvantaged communities and schools that serve disadvantaged communities, how fair their experience is, when obviously they're looking for things that are becoming increasingly challenging for any school to deliver. ofsted said it recognised the challenges schools face, adding there is a legitimate debate about how schools are graded. branwen jeffreys, bbc news.

7:23 am
you hear a lot of is we should be fine, but what if we get the wrong team? what if we get an inspector that doesn't get it? there are lots of brilliant inspectors out there that do get it, but there are some out there, a lot of inspectors, who i think their experience could be a lot more positive and supportive. so there is the anticipation, which brings with it obvious pressures. when the inspections to take place, what needs to change about that process? what are they looking for? i think schools are also different, there are different challenges. the inspections have one framework for primary and secondary. i think it needs to be more nuanced than that. you have small schools, significant pressure with a number of staff that you've got, leading a couple of subjects. you've got disadvantaged schools such as ours, where there are real issues in our communities at the moment, cost of living. we talk about post— pandemic, but i think cost of living comes into it. people are really stressed. poverty is worse than it has ever been and

have used it for recipe ideas, quite basic, but useful. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. hello, this is breakfast with ben boulos and tina daheley. big day for boxing yesterday. a lot of excitement in the buildup. did it good morning, ithink good morning, i think it did in terms of the result that anthony joshua, what you wanted. but i'm sad to say it really did not. it fell a bit flat. we wanted and entertaining, vicious fight for him, for him to roll back the years, knockoutjermaine franklin. that didn't happen commitment the distance in the end it was unanimous when a full anthonyjoshua, his first step to redemption, if you
7:31 am
like. he wants his belt back on wants to be world champion again. still some way away from that, i have to say, and he was hoping to collect tyson fury, which he did, but with a statement when behind them, and they didn't happen — like points and got the job done over franklin at the 02 arena. ade adeyoin was there. announcer: anthony joshua! anthonyjoshua back to winning ways. not a classic, but it was compelling. no titles at stake, butjoshua's career was on the line. it started as a cat—and—mouse affair, joshua cautious and in cruise control. when his ramrod jab and clubbing right hand did land, the american stood firm. there was a chance to finish it later on, but it was a missed opportunity. so a comfortable win in the end, but tempers flared after the final bell and the pair had to be separated. solid but not spectacular, but what did joshua think of his performance? deep, deep, deep down i'm not happy,
7:32 am
because ultimately the ultimate goal is a knockout. there's nothing that can top a knockout. anything short of that isn't what i'm happy with, if i'm honest with you. but it is what it is. as i said, i can't look back on it anymore. what's done is done. so not the knockout victory that many predicted, but a win nonetheless for anthonyjoshua. judging by the reaction of the crowd he remains a huge draw, and there will be a clamour to see him face the wbc champion, tyson fury. ade adedoyin, bbc news, london. both of them feeling pretty downbeat after that fight. we will be speaking to steve later on breakfast this morning about what happened at the 02 arena this morning about what happened at the o2 arena last night. let's go into football. arsenal again showed why this could be the season where they win the premier league. not something we thought we'd be saying at the start of the season. no stopping them at the moment as leeds found out at the emirates, as mikel arteta's side

restored their eight—point lead over manchester city at the top of the table with a 4—1 win. this was the second of gabrieljesus' goals on his return to the pitch following injury. i think the national break is always a different state of mind, and to come back to the premier league and do the things that are necessary to win in this league, i'm really happy with the performance. we can only control what we can do, and let's be the best that we can be, and that's it. that's100 victories as arsenal manager for you in all competitions. well done. thank you very much. i didn't know, but it's a beautiful number, and let's go for the next one. max and f arsenal, a trip to anfield for liverpool. better by manchester city yesterday. manchester city have "strongly condemned" damage to the liverpool team coach on its journey back from the etihad stadium. it happened after city won 4—1 to keep the pressure on arsenal. world cup winnerjulian alvarez was on the scoresheet, but afterwards city boss pep guardiola had to answer questions about his reaction to that goal after appearing to celebrate in the face of liverpool
7:34 am
substitute kostas tsimikas. i'm so sorry. it is a lack of respect. you celebrate the goal the way i celebrate with my son — "come here, and it's nice, isn't it?" that's all. i'm so sorry. you think it shows a lack of respect? ok, sorry. i'm so sorry. back in october, chelsea were 12 spots above aston villa in the table, but things can change quickly. john mcginn's excellent strike helping villa to a 2—0 win at stamford bridge to send them up to ninth, with graham potterfacing increasing pressure with chelsea now 11th. chelsea and liverpool might be struggling, but brighton and brentford are thriving this season, and dreaming of european football. they played out a three all draw at the amex stadium. alexis macallister with a last—minute penalty. roy hodgson made a winning return to the dugout in his second stint in charge of crystal palace. and what late drama there
7:35 am
was at selhurst park too. jean—phillipe mateta's stoppage time winner proved the difference against leicester 2—i it fininsed — palace now sit five points clear of the drop zone. it took a wonderstrike to get bournemouth back on track against fulham. look at this curling lob from marcus tavernier. the hosts were trailling at half—time but this goal, and another from dominic solanke, secured a 2—1 win to lift bournemouth out of the relegation zone, while fulham missed an opportunity to edge closer to europe. neither nottingham forest nor wolves will be too happy with their i—i draw at the city ground, forest led until the 83rd minute when daniel podence struck home wolves' only shot on target. in a heated encounter, red cards were shown to both sides' coaching staff, and towards near full—time var had to be called on to check whether podence spat at forest's goalscorer brennan johnson. the video assistant referee thought nothing of it at the time, but the fa are now investigating. celtic will have the chance to restore their nine point lead
7:36 am
at the top of the scottish premiership when they travel to ross county at lunchtime. rangers cut the gap to six with a 2—0 win at home to dundee united. malik tillman showed why they're desperate to keep him beyond the summer as the on—loan midfielder scored both goals in the win. elsewhere, motherwell beat hibs. manchester united have gone three points clear at the top of the women's super league after beating struggling brighton. leah galton headed the visitors in front early on before adding a second midway through the second half. substitutes rachel williams and lucia garcia scored late on to make it 4—0. manchester city can keep the pressure on united when they play arsenal later today. it was another tale of scottish heartbreak at the hands of the welsh in the women's six nations, as a tight match ended with a sir—22 win for the visitors. the scots stayed in the game throughout despite going behind in the third minute, but this late try courtesy of ffion lewis makes it two from two for the welsh
7:37 am
so far this tournament. meanwhile in ireland, it was an unlucky 13 for the hosts. that's how many tries france scored, despite getting a red card in the 2ist minute. this was try number 12 from gabrielle vernier, as ireland could only manage three points. france look strong as they search for their sixth grand slam. both exeter chiefs and saracens are in champions cup last 16 action this afternoon. they will be hoping for better results than the british clubs had yesterday. gloucester looked set for a famous win against defending champions la rochelle but conceded a try in the final minutes to lose 29—26. harlequins were beaten 32—28 in cape town by south african the stormers. damian willemse scoring one of the tries of the competition so far. and ulster were knocked out at this stage for the second year in a row. they lost 30—15 to leinster in dublin. super league leaders warrington were ruthless in recording a seventh consecutive win as they

7:42 am
by nearly 13,000 people, meaning it will be debated in parliament. owen's law is being called for by the family of owen carey — who died on his 18th birthday, after eating chicken which contained buttermilk — despite telling restaurant staff about his dairy allergy. kirsteen o'sullivan reports. it has been nearly six years since i and kerry died. for the family at the grief is something they live with every day. he was a brilliant chap, he was cut off in the prime of his life. he had just turned 18. the off in the prime of his life. he had just turned 18.— off in the prime of his life. he had 'ust turned 18. . ., . , just turned 18. the teenager who was aller: ic to just turned 18. the teenager who was allergic to dairy _ just turned 18. the teenager who was allergic to dairy collapsed _ just turned 18. the teenager who was allergic to dairy collapsed after - allergic to dairy collapsed after eating grilled chicken that had been marinated in buttermilk at a restaurant. his family say they believe the person serving him didn't appreciate the full severity of his allergies.— of his allergies. immediately he could detect _ of his allergies. immediately he could detect something - of his allergies. immediately he could detect something was - of his allergies. immediately he could detect something was up| of his allergies. immediately he l could detect something was up so of his allergies. immediately he - could detect something was up so he stopped eating. the restaurant and
7:43 am
walked back to the london highway he was going to going to go to do something else. but he dropped dead on the floor outside of the london eye. his family say they are determined to change the law to make restaurant safer for those with allergies. as it stands as you eat out or take away at a restaurant they must provide you with allergen information. this could be, for example, information on the menu or a prompt explaining how you can obtain this information. 1's family want the law to change the restaurants would provide detailed allergen information on the menu. they also want restaurants to be proactive and ask customers about allergies, and they want better training for waiting staff, especially in fast food outlets. allergens can be written down in the words or they can be numbers or they could be letters. it doesn't really matter, but as long as there is a consistent approach and it is mandatory because at the moment it
7:44 am
is hit and miss. increasing legislation, in essence, that will encourage better forms across the industry, then i think thatis across the industry, then i think that is absolutely a good idea. yes, for those operators who aren't doing it brilliantly they will be infused to do it better. with a petition that has garnered over 10,000 signatures the family's battle to change the law is gaining momentum and will be debated in parliament on the 15th of may. his family say while the pain of losing him never diminishes their campaign has been cathartic. it has given us a purpose for our grief and our grief has been immense. it can be very all—consuming having something very positive to try and channel all of that energy into has been very healing for us. the that energy into has been very healing for us.— that energy into has been very healing for us. the family have vowed to continue _ healing for us. the family have vowed to continue fighting - healing for us. the family have vowed to continue fighting forl vowed to continue fighting for owen's law to be implemented for as long as it takes. that was kirsteen o'sullivan reporting. we're nowjoined by carla jones from allergy uk. thank you forjoining us on

7:46 am
is calling for something very similar to that, so we do think there is room for improvement. there is also the may contain labels that you see on various different products that you might purchase, and either the food does contain something or it doesn't contain an ingredient, so we believe in full, transparent, accurate listing of food in relation to any food that you are actually going to purchase or be served in a restaurant or in a retail outlet. alongside that, we think it is incredibly important that staff are fully trained and aware about allergens when actually serving food hospitality or catering establishment. bind serving food hospitality or catering establishment.— serving food hospitality or catering establishment. and a lot of progress has been made, _ establishment. and a lot of progress has been made, but _ establishment. and a lot of progress has been made, but is _ establishment. and a lot of progress has been made, but is it _ establishment. and a lot of progress has been made, but is it the - establishment. and a lot of progress has been made, but is it the case . has been made, but is it the case that people taking away prepackaged food have greater protection than those eating in a restaurant? i think there have been great improvements, and we welcomed the improvements, and we welcomed the improvements in october 2021 through
7:47 am
natasha's law for prepacked foods, to have improved labelling, and in restaurants, we believe that there needs to be all ingredients listed. what we have currently under eu law, which is a decade old now, is what were passed by the eu at the time, which is that the top 11! allergens in europe, they felt the top 11! food allergens have to be listed. you can be allergic to any food. it's not just that there are 11! allergens that people are allergic to, so actually, we believe that for people living with food allergy, there needs to be full list of ingredients on all foods, that includes in hospitality catering establishments when people are going out to eat or being served food through takeaway. people need to have access to that full list of ingredients so that they can make safe, informed choices. ,., they can make safe, informed

7:49 am
covid, with 11.3 million staff, so it is complex, but there is a simple enough solution, and that simple enough solution, and that simple enough solution, and that simple enough solution is twofold. number one is that everyone is aware of the full ingredients that they have in the food that they are serving, and number two is that their staff are fully trained and understand. thank ou so fully trained and understand. thank you so much. _ fully trained and understand. thank you so much. we — fully trained and understand. thank you so much, we will— fully trained and understand. thank you so much, we will have - fully trained and understand. thank you so much, we will have to - fully trained and understand. thank you so much, we will have to leave | you so much, we will have to leave it there, i'm afraid. that was a comprehensive explanation, and thank you so much forjoining us on breakfast this morning. time now for the latest technology news with click. spencer: this is the uk's national centre| for data science and artificial intelligence, the alan turing institute, named after the mathematician considered to be
7:50 am
the father of computer science. lara: artificial intelligence is the idea of notjust us programming computers, but them being able to learn for themselves and alter their own code. yeah and, in fact, it was the big guy himself who came up with the idea of the turing test, suggesting a computer could be regarded as truly intelligent if it could chat to a human and fool that human into thinking they were talking to another human. now, you and i have both tried chatgpt and all the latest ai chatbots. do you think that test has been passed now? to some extent, yes. i do think they can seem human, but there are some caveats to that. yeah, i think you're right, but i do think that they are convincing enough these days. the problem is that version of the test turned out to be too easy to solve and not really a sign of human—level intelligence after all. and, of course, it's important to remember that al isn't just about chat, it's about bringing in loads of data and learning from that. and it can be used to solve
7:51 am
all sorts of problems — possibly even this one. a third of all the food produced globally for human consumption is wasted — that's about 1.3 billion tonnes a year. then, when that food breaks down in landfill, it releases harmful greenhouse gases, whilst at the same time, there's a struggle to feed an ever—growing global population. so, i visited one company in cambridge that thinks it can provide some help. the set—up here consists of a series of containers, which means that it can be recreated anywhere. this is the brains of the whole thing inside this cupboard. it's a lot of leads — so many leads. and through these pipes comes the food waste. in there is a mix of old vegetables, old fruit, bakery goods. it comes down into this big container, where it's all blended and effectively turned into a big soup. it checks that the temperature's right and the ph is balanced,
7:52 am
and then, it comes out through this pipe and goes through into the next room, ready for the insects. yep, food for the insects — black soldier fly larvae, to be specific. oh, the stench! that is absolutely overwhelming! but it's not surprising because in here, you've got the fodder and the creatures consuming it. look at that! look at how they're squirming around! i've been allowed to give them lunch. and wherever these containers are set up, sensors, tracking and an ai system goes too. the role of ai is that we built a platform that can remotely operate every system we have. so that, let's say, that we're here in cambridge and one of our systems is out in wales. we can, from our central here, know exactly what is going on. the larvae and that food they've been consuming all comes down these pipes. it'll then be separated
7:53 am
in this device. then it's not long before they rather quickly reach the end of their days. and, once they have, they get separated into the useful bits of fat and protein before they get packaged up, ready to be used in products. right now, the insects are being used as animalfeed — a replacement for soya bean. the insect alternative is nutritious and has a much lower carbon footprint. and the next step is to move the product up the food chain. so here, we've got some feed for dogs, both dry and wet, and something for humans. and i happen to know that suhail, my cameraman here, loves a bit of cake, don't you? you can't say i never give you anything. these are madeleines. they're 30% protein. mmm. take a bite. how is it? mmm! ah, they're really good. i would've never guessed there's insects in this. ok, so, it tastes like cake — moist in the middle? it's very moist. it's a great texture. insects are widely eaten
7:54 am
in many parts of the world, but whether everyone can switch their mindsets to expecting them for dinner is another question. bellissimo! perfect. if you don't fancy insects for dinner, though, alasdair keane has been finding out how jamie oliver's team has been using al to help show the world what's on the menu. alasdair: millions of hours of video content is watched online each week with platforms full of everything from the bizarre...to cooking. pasta, cream, bacon... cream? so much of that content is in english, costing too much time and money for companies to translate and re—voice with actors. now, the jamie oliver team are turning to ai and a company called papercup to take the chef to new audiences. and this is where everything happens. this one's about chocolate brownies, and it says 'chocolate'
7:55 am
all the way through it. the programme not only translates the video automatically, but also overlays a dubbed computer—generated voice in the new language. a team of translators then quality—check it and adjust the voice to make it sound more natural. we pay attention to detail when it comes to the characters we're dubbing. spanish dubbing we use all the tools we have in hand to make it sound as accurate as possible. in this case, i chose number 10 cos it's the most suitable one forjamie oliver in this case. and then, here, you can play with speed, you can play with the mood. actually, i need it to sound a little bit more expressive, so i'm going to change it to happy. german dubbing. how long does it take to go through a video? well, that's hard to say. it really depends on the video we're working on. but so much faster than traditional? oh, yeah, definitely.
7:56 am
you represent a huge brand injamie oliver. it must be hard to trust the ai. you know, sometimes it might not be fully accurate or it might not be — the intonation might not be as good as it could be, but this is better than not having the solution. the positives that come out of it far outweigh any negatives that you might have about that. cheering and applause this tech is also being applied to more complex videos like tv talent shows. dubbed speech but with creating something so human—sounding, is there a danger that this tech, in the wrong hands, could be used to trick people or provide harmful information? onus is on companies like us. it's ourjob to help also create these watermarks or these characteristics that we embed in the output that we produce that we know will almost identify the fingerprint that says, "this was produced by papercup." and that way, we can always trace back what is something
7:57 am
that we've produced versus what is something we think is actually authentic and real. we're starting off with really good quality dark chocolate. for now, papercup is focusing on video that wouldn't normally be translated and re—voiced, but perhaps in the future, similar techniques could be applied to blockbuster movies and tv shows. until next time, take care. bye, guys! now, in the united states, disabled people are three times more likely to be out of work than non—disabled people, and you'll find similar figures in many developed countries around the world. but at one company in austin, texas, 250 of its employees — that's over half of its workforce — are either blind or visually impaired. and paul carter has been to find out about the assistive technology that they've been using. paul: this is austin lighthouse, and it's a workplace with a difference. lighthouse is a non—profit organisation in texas
7:58 am
dedicated to improving the lives of blind and visually impaired people in the area. and it's turning to technology to help them achieve that. so the box comes out, we have to glue it. and then this is the label that comes out that goes to the box. its main areas of work are in manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, primarily for the us department of defense. it has over 900,000 square feet of space and processes over 1,300 orders every day. so, efficiency is key. a range of tech solutions have been deployed here for a variety of purposes, from enabling people to carry out work—specific tasks to navigating the environment and more. one such solution is called vocollect, a wearable tech incorporating voice recognition. because it's auditory,
7:59 am
blind or visually impaired people can use it to manage inventory. what it does is it allows us to go pick the orders. you can do it as a totally blind person because it talks to you and you talk to it. it's all voice recognition. each of us have our own profiles. it's wi—fi, bluetooth, and so we have what is called orders, and there's a barcode on the order. we scan that barcode, and it speaks to us where we have to go, how many we have to pick and what the product is. we have a few other things that have really helped integrate a lot of stuff and help make morejobs for a blind or visually impaired person. what's amazing about a place like this is that the technology being deployed here is being used in a really inclusive way, and that's because it's enabling disabled people to do exactly the same jobs as the non—disabled people working right alongside them. this device is called the onyx.
8:00 am
it is a closed—circuit tv that's very portable. one way they achieve this is by teaching blind people both within the organisation and outside about the range of assistive technologies that exist for people with visual impairments. the assistive technology room has a large range of screen readers, magnifiers and optical character recognition equipment for people to use. essentially, it serves as a hub for people to be exposed to or introduced to assistive technology. people who are blind typically are blind later in life, which means that they undergo a very lengthy and a lot of times arduous and difficult transition into blindness. automated voice: bbc — homepage. ourjob is to introduce people to that technology that can help them reintegrate themselves into society, but with a focus on the workforce. so people who come here to the austin lighthouse inevitably leave with the skills they need to go back to work. technology continues to have a positive impact on the employment landscape for disabled people.
8:01 am
while inclusive employment will always be the ultimate goal, for now, organisations like lighthouse are helping to show the way. and that's for the short version of the programme. yeah, the full—length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. but from me, from lara and from the big guy himself, thanks for watching. we'll see you soon. bye—bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben boulos and tina daheley. our headlines today: three british men are being held
8:02 am
by the taliban in afghanistan — the foreign office says it's working hard to make contact with them. extra ferries sailed overnight to clear the backlog at dover — where some travellers waited up to 11! hours. officials hope services will be back to normal by midday. our ancient woodlands stand steadfast and tall. it is through this great past that we build a future for all. the unmistakable voice of damejudi dench — as the king says thank you for the three million trees planted in honour of the late queen. solid but not spectacular, antonyjoshua beats jermaine frankin in his comeback fight, but fails to land a knockout punch. we have a fair amount of cloud around first thing, but things will brighten up and it will be less
8:03 am
windy with more sunshine. details coming up shortly. it's sunday 2nd april, our main story. three british men are being held in custody by the taliban in afghanistan. a humanitarian organisation said two of the men were arrested injanuary, while a third was detained on a different date. the foreign office says it's "working hard" to make contact with them. as helena wilkinson reports. back under taliban control since the summer of 2021, now it's emerged that three british men are being held in custody by the taliban in afghanistan. so maybe i might be evacuated tonight, maybe next week, maybe a month. it's understood one of them is miles routledge. he was evacuated from the country during the final days of the occupation in 2021. he's built up a social media following, visiting dangerous places. two other british men are also in custody. one of them is kevin cornwell,
8:04 am
a 53—year—old charity worker. it's understood he's a paramedic and has been working in afghanistan for some time. another british man, who hasn't been named, was detained at the same time as mr cornwell injanuary. no formal charges have been laid against the two men. the organisation supporting the families of mr cornwell, and the man who hasn't been named, said the men are facing challenges. the difficulty that you have in the current system in afghanistan is that there's no codified rule of law as we would understand it, and so when somebody becomes subject to these kinds of procedures there's no legal access, there's no representation, there's no access to consulate officials, so they've essentially been in a diplomatic and legal black hole for some time. in a statement the foreign office said:
8:05 am

8:15 am
every where has clear skies. but through the day things will brighten up through the day things will brighten up and drierthan through the day things will brighten up and drier than yesterday. certainly drier than it has been for the last few weeks. high pressure it to the south—west and the north—east of the uk. so it is pushing away the fronts that have brought the rain. a fair amount fronts that have brought the rain. a fairamount of fronts that have brought the rain. a fair amount of cloud to start in scotland, with some rain over the higher ground and some drizzle in northern england and wales. sunshine in central and eastern areas. this cloud in the north and west will break up in the afternoon. so an improving picture today. lighter winds than we have seen, but breezy with that north—east breeze in the south—east. if you're close to the east coast it is cool. 11 to 13 for most of us. the sunshine has more
8:16 am
strength and that should feel pleasant in the lighter winds. some late clear skies in the evening. and tonight we keep the dry and clear theme and the cloud will melt away. that is the recipe for a cold night. temperatures a few degrees either side of freezing for most of us. a touch of frost in the countryside and parts of central and eastern england. milderwhere and parts of central and eastern england. milder where you have more cloud in western scotland and northern ireland. tomorrow is bringing us more of the same. but more sunshine compared to today. less in the way of cloud around. lighter winds as well, so a decent day on monday if you have plans to get out. still good some lying water after the rain. temperatures nine to 13 degrees. subtle changes into tuesday. still high pressure close and a lot of dry weather. the best of the sunshine in england and wales
8:17 am
and eastern scotland, to the north and eastern scotland, to the north and west more cloud working in and the breeze picking up and a few spots of rain for northern ireland and western scotland. feeling warmer for most of us and highs of 13 or 14. we have lost that cool brooes in the east. through the middle of week low pressure to the north and fronts pushing further south and east across the tuck. —— across the uk. but they're bumping into that high pressure and not too much rain. we will see some wet weather in the north and north—west. further south staying dry. good friday and the easter weekend, the weather is looking decent. not a bad week ahead. perhaps a touch of rain. but generally spring sunshine in store for us. thank you. people with autism often face obstacles when it comes to finding work —
8:18 am
with less than 30 percent currently in employment. the government has now launched a review looking at how autistic people can be better supported in the workplace, to try to boost their employment prospects. our reporter tim muffett has been to visit one factory in south london, which has benefitted from having a neuro—diverse workforce. the retractable screens made in this factory in south london are now used by every nhs trust. business is also booming in america. the boss believes championing neuro—diversity has been key to the company's success. we have been making some leaps, and having a neuro—divergent workforce has enabled us to do that. a lot of the steps we've done have come from our neuro—diverse employees, who are able to solve problems in a different way, look at things from a different perspective. there are a range of acknowledged conditions amongst many of the employees here, including autism, dyslexia and attention deficit
8:19 am
hyperactivity disorder. amy feared her autism would hold her back, but her career is thriving. i felt empowered to see my neuro—divergence as a strength, and to think about how i can use it to, like, further my career. amy's experience, though, is not typical. in the uk, fewer than a third of people with autism are in work. many people with autism say that when it comes to getting a job they feel unprepared and unsupported, and that in many workplaces there is a real stigma associated with the condition — problems that a new government review is aiming to address. it will be led by conservative mp sir robert buckland. his adult daughter has autism. with only about two out of ten autistic people in employment here in the uk, that figure
8:20 am
is scandalously low. - we need to close that gap. you say the figure is scandalously low, but the conservatives have been in powerfor 13 years. you are a part of that government. do you not feel a sense of responsibility? i well, let's not forget that under i this government we have increased the number of people - with disabilities in employment by a million people. there is a particular- challenge relating to autism. i want to unpack that, l to explore why that is. recommendations will be delivered in september. autistica is an autism charity which welcomes the review but believes it should have happened sooner. well, a government review sounds all good in theory. but in practical terms, what would you like to see change? we know that if you send out interview questions ahead of time, you'll be more effective at choosing and selecting the best candidate for thejob, and it removes disadvantages for people who are autistic.

these adjustments are really minimal in terms of cost. it could be things like noise—cancelling headphones. it could be flexibility around where you work as part of the office. neurological conditions that some find daunting, but this company welcomes. many wish more employers would adopt a similar approach. tim muffett, bbc news. joining us now is danae leaman—hill from the charity ambitious about autism and matthew lofthouse, who's neurodivergent and working as an nhs photographer. good to have you both with us here. why do you think employment numbers are so low for people who are neurodivergent? the are so low for people who are neurodivergent?— are so low for people who are neurodivergent? the system is stacked against _ neurodivergent? the system is stacked against autistic - neurodivergent? the system is stacked against autistic people j neurodivergent? the system is - stacked against autistic people and it starts— stacked against autistic people and it starts in— stacked against autistic people and it starts in education, people risk being _ it starts in education, people risk being written off before they have even left — being written off before they have even left school. exclusions are

8:28 am
footage of bob's collapse. you don't know when or where it is going to happen. i was just very fortunate that mine happened where it did. it was two minutes to get to bob, and then the first shock was given. shock delivered. ultimately that is what we are trained for. everyone knew what their roles were. the hand should be in i the centre of the chest. it is easy to say, but it is everything, really. good morning, everyone. hello, bob. good to see you. good to talk with you both. bob is meeting pete and declan the first time since the day he died and was brought back to live outside of the amex. i arrived at 7:15, there were also few others who were late for the game.
8:29 am
it is uphill from the station. i remember not feeling too good, so after pausing i started again, but at this stage i simply blacked out. i got a radio call to say somebody had collapsed just outside. when we got through just outside we noticed a person on the floor with stewards around them. declan started compressions. i opened the shirt up to put the defibrillator on. we gave one shock... shock delivered. and after that he came around and started talking. there was nothing until... i thought i was being mugged, they were looking for identity. but then there was a realisation that something serious had happened. i remember at first you asked . how your wife was or if we knew and what the score was. laughs. since his cardiac arrest, bob has raised money to buy emergency kits, presented
8:30 am
on the pitch at an fa cup quarter—final to a is—year—old myles who took the radio call when bob's heart stopped. it was an emotional experience - but nothing we haven't planned for. i am just pleased to be able to do whatever we can, you know, to be able to thank somebody for saving your life. and for declan and pete, it is a rare chance to see the impact of the work they do. to see bob laying on the cold, wet floor to happy, smiling, joking, going back to the football. fantastic, to be honest. | we rarely see the people we treat, j normally once we have sent people to hospital, or something like that, it's the last we see them, - so to see bob like that is great. bob is continuing to raise money for life—saving kits at football facilities and although his first love is nottingham forest he'll be wearing a brighton scarf in the next home game against the seagulls. james dunn, bbc news. images of raw sewage being pumped into england's rivers

8:38 am
and help plus size people like to dress because we don't like to dress like we are in the 1960s. we are in 2023 so let's start catering. the mission of the big swap to provide an alternative to fast fashion which many plus—size shoppers rely on because of the range being more inclusive. the big swap is definitely not about promoting obesity. the big swap is about promoting inclusion and about empowerment and making people feel safe and secure and included in shopping forfashion and for sustainable fashion. zoe turned her back on a career in the fashion industry because of the barriers she faced as a 6—foot plus—size woman. for years ijust wore men's clothes, and what that does to your confidence and what that does to how you portray yourself, and how you want to come across to other people, it is... it is really sad and it's really damaging. what i want to achieve with the big swap is i want people to come
8:39 am
and i want it to be freeing for them and i want them to feel liberated. i think fashion realy makes you feel good, it is about expressing who i am, feeling nice, having to wear something that you don't like, something that makes you feel drab or down, just because things that uplift you aren't available in your size, that is the worst for me. organisers estimate more than 1700 kgs of clothing have been diverted from landfill thanks to the events, with any clothing which isn't swapped donated to charity shops like white rose. when you come to somewhere like this and you know that everyone is in it together, it gives you that bug, it gives you that pre—loved passion where you want to start recycling your clothes because we finally feel welcome in a sustainable environment. rebecca bryce, bbc news, nottingham. the time now is 8:39am. starting

with boxing, last night, anthony joshua, was it everything everyone hoped for? it wasn't, in a one word answer, he got the win that he needed, unanimous points victory but it was cautious, underwhelming, it was not vicious, gritty, not a knockout, not entertaining and that was what the hope was for the fight for anthonyjoshua who wants to get back on top of the mountain again and wants his world title champions back, he didn't make the statement that he set out to but he got the win that he needed. remember all the talk, if he loses this, then his career is over. boxing broadcaster steve bunce watched the fight for bbc radio 5 live and joins me now. thank you forjoining us with little sleep. what did you make of the performance last night? mr;

performance last night? my assessment _ performance last night? iji assessment is exactly performance last night? m1: assessment is exactly the performance last night? m1 assessment is exactly the same as joshua. i got up to interview him last night, in defeat i've known him slightly better, he looked me in the eye and he said no knockout, no good but that might just eye and he said no knockout, no good but that mightjust be the expression that some subs what we witnessed over 12 rounds. 36 minutes of boxing, he seemed to go over old ground, confused, stuck between styles, jermaine franklin a former high school wrestler was able to hold, grapple, make it ugly and frustrate joshua, hold, grapple, make it ugly and frustratejoshua, wasn't necessarily a great spectacle but the debate going forward isn't whetherjoshua is world—class and can regain his world title for the third time. the debate is whether this is now the newjoshua, the vintagejoshua, the man we loved after the olympics, the swashbuckler, we might have this other guy, a thinker, not great to watch but that is what we might be getting. watch but that is what we might be cuettin. ., watch but that is what we might be

have resurrected the fight we want so forget what happened on saturday night, we will march forward, 90,000, stop the country and what should be cagey against the even bigger tyson fury, what a business? why isjoshua still at this, he's been asked that question and he talks about the money which of course makes a difference but he is putting his life on the line every time, he doesn't need to be going out in the ring any more. as someone who has known him from the start of his career what makes him tick and why is the insistent on keeping going? why is the insistent on keeping oiiin ? �* , why is the insistent on keeping ioini ? �* , . ., why is the insistent on keeping oiiin ? �* , . ., , going? i've been covering fighters for about 35 _ going? i've been covering fighters for about 35 years _ going? i've been covering fighters for about 35 years and _ going? i've been covering fighters for about 35 years and i _ going? i've been covering fighters for about 35 years and i don't - going? i've been covering fighters| for about 35 years and i don't know why some guys who are established, sound reputations and swollen bank accounts, maybejoshua has made 150 million, that might be a kind estimate, they want to fight and he feels he has something to prove. a man that cannot walk down the street, closer to becoming a national treasure, street, closer to becoming a nationaltreasure, he street, closer to becoming a national treasure, he just wants to fight, that is part of him and that

8:45 am
two minute 29 second interview, listen to that he sums it up, no knockout, no good, perhaps i've lost it, he suggested he had lost his punch power, that is the most damning declaration of what we saw and it came from his lips, raw, uncut and honest so forget the people knocking him from their armchairs or offices or the gymnasiums, they were not in the ring, they are not inside his head. the big lad did not have a great night in the office so to speak but he told us the truth, what more could we possibly want? melt he told us the truth, what more could we possibly want? well said, steve, could we possibly want? well said, steve. thank _ could we possibly want? well said, steve, thank you _ could we possibly want? well said, steve, thank you for _ could we possibly want? well said, steve, thank you forjoining - could we possibly want? well said, steve, thank you forjoining us - could we possibly want? well said, steve, thank you forjoining us thisi steve, thank you forjoining us this morning. and that interview between steve pounds and anthonyjoshua is on bbc sounds. let's tell you what's happening in the premier league. arsenal again showed why this could be the season where they win the premier league. not something we thought we'd be saying at the start of the season.
8:46 am
no stopping them at the moment as leeds found out at the emirates as mikel arteta's side restored their eight point lead over manchester city at the top of the table with a 4—1 win. this was the second of gabrieljesus' goals on his return to the pitch following injury. manchester city have "strongly condemned" damage to the liverpool team coach on its journey back from the etihad stadium. it happened after city won 4—1 to keep the pressure on arsenal. world cup winnerjulian alvarez was on the scoresheet but afterwards city boss pep guardiola had to answer questions about his reaction to that goal after appearing to celebrate in the face of liverpool substitute kostas tsimikas. celtic will have the chance to restore their nine point lead at the top of the scottish premiership when they travel to ross county at lunchtime. rangers cut the gap to six with a 2—0 win at home to dundee united. malik tillman showed why they're desperate to keep him beyond the summer as the on—loan midfielder scored both goals in the win. elsewhere, motherwell beat hibs. it was another tale of scottish heartbreak at the hands of the welsh in the women's six nations
8:47 am
as a tight match ended with a 311—22 win for the visitors. the scots stayed in the game throughout despite going behind in the third minute, but this late try courtesy of ffion lewis, makes it two from two for the welsh so far this tournament. meanwhile in ireland, it was an unlucky 13 for the hosts — that's how many tries france scored, despite getting a red card in the 2ist minute. this was try number 12 from gabrielle vernier as ireland could only manage three points. france look strong as they search for their sixth grand slam. now if you don't want to know what happened in the australian grand prix. avert your attention for the next minute. reigning champion max verstappen has won a chaotic race in the last couple ten minutes — with lewis hamilton in second. it's been full of crashes but before all that, george russell actually took the lead at the start — overtaking two time world champion max verstappen.
8:48 am
a couple of early crashes mixed things up — and soon enough, verstappen was into the lead. russell's race came to a fiery end on lap 18. the race had three red flags, and two grid restarts — the last of which saw no fewer than three separate incidents with both alpine cars taking each other out. it meant the race was effectively done then with only one processional lap to go — giving verstappen his second win of the season. this is how it finished, behind the safety car. max verstappen winning his second race of the season, lewis hamilton on the podium and fernando alonso there to boot, three world champions effectively there, drama in formula i. then few things are straightforward, they did one thing is to be more exciting maybe not quite how they plan to put a predictable winner in the form of max verstappen but good for mercedes and lewis hamilton to be on the

which saw thousands of volunteers and celebrities plant trees across the uk. two years later, more than 3 million saplings have now been sowed in the queen's memory — after the scheme was extended following her death. to commemorate the end of the project, king charles has shared a picture of him planting the final tree and a special film has been released — narrated by damejudi dench. let's have a listen. dame judi dench: an idea as a seed is where we started. _ a simple idea. i invite you all tojoin me to plant a tree for thejubilee. in other words, a tree—bilee! to create a canopy in l honour and celebration of our queen elizabeth. to bring us together. across all four nations, a collective of people _ of all generations, acting together with one common goal, - from every corner of this great
