good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. our headlines today. former president donald trump speaks for the first time since appearing in court. he's pleaded not guilty and says the case is an "insult" to his country. the only crime that i have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. cheering. dame deborah's legacy. the fund she launched before her death from bowel cancer last year raises more than £11 million for research into the disease.

good morning. with the price of food and raw ingredients getting more in spreads of this easter, we are in a bakery in bolton —— expected this easter, we are looking at what it means that the sweet treats you might be buying this year. in sport this morning. racism in rugby union. former england rugby star luther burrell says he's "proud" for speaking out after an rfu investigation found his claims of racism in the sport were true. good morning. i'll start to the day—to—day for most of us to yesterday, away from the south—east where it is called —— it is a milder start. cloud and rain pushing from the west to east but it should brighten up much later across northern ireland and western scotland. it's wednesday, the 5th of april. donald trump has spoken publicly for the first time since his arrest

and appearance in court to face criminal charges. the former us president told a packed hall of supporters in florida last night that legal action against him was "an insult to america'" after he was charged with 3a counts of business fraud by a court in new york, the first ever us president to be charged. nada tawfik reports. a show of defiance just hours after his arrest. back at his mar—a—lago club in florida, donald trump slowly made his way through a ballroom packed with crowds of supporters, shaking hands and relishing their attention. in his first public remarks since being indicted, he said the justice system had become lawless. and i never thought anything like this could happen in america. never thought it could happen. the only crime that i have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. cheering. he attacked everyone,

from the district attorney prosecuting him to president biden, and accused democrats of conspiring against him. he abruptly ended his speech after 25 minutes with the events earlier clearly taking its toll. it was a day for the history books. a man who once held the highest office in the country experienced the indignity of being booked and arraigned. accommodations and security arrangements were made, but he was shown no special deference. video cameras were not allowed in the courtroom, but a few photographers captured trump's demeanor and facial expression in the moments before he pleaded not guilty to sa felony counts. he's been accused of falsifying business records to conceal a crime. the charges are connected to a hush money payment to the porn star stormy daniels. this is a high stakes case for the manhattan district attorney, alvin bragg.

in a press conference, he defended his office's decision to pursue an indictment against trump. 3a false statements made to cover up other crimes. these are felony crimes in new york state, no matter who you are. we cannot and will not normalise serious criminal conduct. donald trump left this courthouse and went immediately back to mar—a—lago, but he won't be able to escape his legal troubles here. the next hearing is set for december, and this indictment may not even be his biggest concern if other investigations into election interference result in prosecution. nada tawfiq, bbc news, new york. we're joined now by our north america correspondent michelle fleury, who's in new york. michelle, pleading not guilty, calling the claim is an insult to america, what happens now and will it affect his political chances?

this was a day for the history books, i know that has been said a lot but you cannot overstate this. however, after essentially the drama that we still unfold today, from that we still unfold today, from that trip when midtown manhattan to the courthouse where he had to surrender himself for arrest and then to hear the charges, then to then to hear the charges, then to the ballroom in florida, where he gave the campaign speech, from here on in the legal proceedings get rather humdrum and procedural. the next date he is expected in court is december, at that point you might hearfrom december, at that point you might hear from lawyers for donald trump putting forward motion to perhaps of the case thrown out or maybe move it to anotherjurisdiction, another to another jurisdiction, another court to anotherjurisdiction, another court area, given that new york typically tends to lean or vote democrat. all of these things, the wheels ofjustice, if you like, turn fairly slowly. i think in some ways

after the highs and lows of the past few days, it might feel quite stilted. we have already seen the impact of this at least politically. you could never separate legal case from the political. and ever since the indictment first dropped, donald trump has surged in the polls, and has fund raised against it. the question is, it will help him in the primaries, but not necessarily potentially in the general elections and that is what he is eyeing at the moment, running for president again in 2024. a man who abducted a young girl from a campsite in the australian outback and held her captive has been jailed for 13—and—a—half years. terence kelly admitted abducting four—year—old cleo smith from herfamily�*s tent in october 2021. the kidnapping sparked a huge police search for the girl, who was missing for more than two weeks. she was found by police at kelly's house, minutes from her own home.

there have been clashes overnight between israeli police and palestinian worshippers at a mosque in occupied eastjerusalem. the police say they conducted a pre—dawn raid to clear al—aqsa mosque after what they called "agitators" armed with fireworks, sticks and stones barricaded themselves inside. in response, palestinian militants fired nine rockets from the gaza strip at israel and israel's military also carried out air strikes. teacher strikes are likely to continue in england until the end of the school year after a third teaching union rejected the government's pay offer. the national association of head teachers, mainly representing primary heads, is now considering balloting members over industrial action. ministers say the offer is fair and reasonable. our education editor branwen jeffreys reports. piecing together school budgets isn't easy. most of the money goes on staff. teachers�* pay for next year isn't settled. head teachers are also

waiting to find out the pay rise for support staff, which will come out of school budgets. we do have a teaching assistant per classroom here. they do a phenomenaljob. i wouldn't want to lose any of them. but there's no infinite pot of money. now another teachers union has rejected the pay offer. a £1,000 one—off cash payment on top of 5% this year. for next year, 4.3% for most teachers, plus a £30,000 starting salary. the government says it's fair and reasonable. this head teachers union told me it's not good enough. we asked members to say, is it affordable in your school? and overwhelmingly they've come back and told us that it's not. so the government needs to understand that whatever money it thinks it's brought forward, it simply isn't enough. there is more government cash going into england's schools, £2 billion extra next year, half a billion more on offer towards pay.

even so, experts say there's little wiggle room in budgets. parents already know they have at least two more days of having children at home after the largest teachers union announced more strikes. now, primary headteachers in england may also decide to ballot over industrial action. far from this dispute being settled, there's every indication it might escalate. branwen jefferies, bbc news. a report has found police investigating online child abuse are failing to follow up concerns about suspects, leaving some children at risk. the inspection of forces in england, wales and northern ireland found there are often "unacceptable delays and missed opportunities" in responding to allegations. the national police chiefs�* council has accepted there are issues but says tech companies also have to play a part in reporting concerns.

a man has been found guilty of murdering his partner's two—year—old daughter at their home in wales. lola james was found with catastrophic injuries at the home in haverfordwest. kyle bevan, who's 31, claimed the injuries were caused by the family dog, but was convicted of her killing by a jury at swansea crown court. lola's mother, sinead james, was also found guilty of causing or allowing her death. they'll be sentenced later this month. a digital map of the uk's entire network of underground power cables, gas pipes, sewers and water mains is being created for the first time. it's hoped that the map will cut the number of accidents caused by workers who hit electricity and water lines by mistake. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill reports. a puncture to an unseen pipe. when construction workers

accidentally hit this water main in the midlands, it flooded whole streets around the site. any repair to the pipes and cables underground is risky. to upgrade the water main here, the team has to navigate electricity cables and gas pipes lying almost on top of each other. it's really hard to know what's going on down here because it is invisible to us and it's so dangerous. and working near this vital underground network can be perilous. this farm worker struck a gas pipe. remarkably, he escaped unharmed. floods, power cuts and other disruption caused by these kinds of accidents cost the uk an estimated £2.11 billion every year. so every repair site is carefully mapped, but at the moment there's no one place to find all that information. i have a plan here for the gas. i have a plan here for the power grid, and i have a plan here for 0penreach. now, that is changing. workers on site will be able

to access all that data quickly on a digital map, on a phone or tablet. every single different asset is in a different colour, it then tells you the size and the voltage. here in northumbrian water's control room, that new map is being put to the test. i've just got an alarm in for blythe. the north east's utility companies have all shared their underground plans with the government so that other companies can access them online. what we can do with newer is simply pan and redraw the area and refresh the data. within seconds we can get an updated map or plan. wow. how much of a difference is this going to make? in the field it will help keep our workers much safer than they were previously because better information, better access to information. and from consumers' point of view and our customers' point of view, the minimum amount of disruption and delay that we have associated with that, with maintaining the water network and keeping water flowing to our

customers, is good news for them. the government plans to roll out this digital underground map across england, wales and northern ireland in 2025, covering a complicated network of four million kilometers of wires, pipes, sewers and cables. gas, water, electric, sewage, local authorities, highways agencies. we take their data and we standardise it using some very, very complex technology like artificial machine learning, artificial intelligence to bring it into one place and standardise it. so it's a very big undertaking, but we've made really good progress so far. knowing the exact location of all that buried infrastructure could help keep disruption like this as brief and as safe as possible. victoria gill, bbc news. buckingham palace has indicated that after the coronation, that is one useful map. you have got to wait two years for it, i was

going to try and use it now. i'm sure it will be worth the wait. buckingham palace has indicated that after the coronation, the queen consort will be known as queen camilla. this title has been used on the formal invitation to next month's ceremony at westminster abbey when she will be crowned alongside the king. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell has this report. a new photograph issued by buckingham palace one month and one day ahead of the coronation, showing the king and the queen consort, as the palace has been at pains to call her from the moment charles came to the throne. but alongside the photograph, the palace also issued this. a copy of the official invitation to the coronation, a brightly coloured document with images of nature. birds, butterflies, flowers and a green man. but it's not the images, but the words that have caught the eye. the invitation refers to the coronation of king charles iii and queen camilla. the wording, camilla, the queen consort, has been dropped. and it's clear that that is quite deliberate. the time has come, the palace and no

doubt the king feel, for the wife of the king to be known as the queen. and after she's crowned alongside the king at westminster abbey on the 6th of may, she will be referred to as queen camilla. one other point of interest. among the eight pages of honour who will process through the abbey with the king and queen will be nine—year—old prince george. he will get a very close view of the ceremony in which one day he will be the central figure. nicholas witchell, bbc news. strange, i have not had my invitation yet, have you? yeah, eah. invitation yet, have you? yeah, yeah- 0h _ invitation yet, have you? yeah, yeah- oh you — invitation yet, have you? yeah, yeah. oh you have, _ invitation yet, have you? yeah, yeah. oh you have, great. - invitation yet, have you? yeah, i yeah. oh you have, great. landed about a week _ yeah. oh you have, great. landed about a week ago. _ yeah. oh you have, great. landed about a week ago. 0k, _ yeah. oh you have, great. landed about a week ago. 0k, great. - yeah. oh you have, great. landed| about a week ago. 0k, great. let's have a look at queen of the weather! good morning, everyone. the tree pollen levels are going to be

moderate and high in the south, and then easter sunday it will be very high along the south coast so bear that in mind. we have rain moving west to east today, it will not get into the far south until later on but the cloud ahead of it will build, turning the sunshine hazy. the first band of rain pushes west to east, then another one comes in, following hot on its heels into northern ireland, south—west scotland, north—west england, wales and the south—west. we could see some brightness around the moray firth this morning, some sunshine, up firth this morning, some sunshine, up to 15. remaining wet and windy in shetland. this evening and overnight, the rain continues to edge towards the east, some clear skies behind and then heavy showers starting to move in across northern ireland. with all of this going on it will not be cold. around the north—east of scotland, temperatures in places could fall away to three

or 4 degrees. tomorrow the rain eventually pushes into the north sea, lingering in shetland where it will remain windy. behind it brightness and sunshine, showers developing and becoming more widespread through the afternoon particularly across parts of eastern england. seven in the north to 1a in the south. we have been enjoying those glimpses of sunshine over the last couple of days. of sunshine over the last couple of da 5. , of sunshine over the last couple of da s. , , , of sunshine over the last couple of das. ,_ of sunshine over the last couple of da s. ,_ ., . days. yes, yesterday was a cracker, wasn't it? not— days. yes, yesterday was a cracker, wasn't it? not so _ days. yes, yesterday was a cracker, wasn't it? not so much _ days. yes, yesterday was a cracker, wasn't it? not so much today. - days. yes, yesterday was a cracker, wasn't it? not so much today. a - days. yes, yesterday was a cracker, wasn't it? not so much today. a bit| wasn't it? not so much today. a bit cloudy and — wasn't it? not so much today. a bit cloudy and wet. _ let's have a look at today's papers and many are leading with the historic arrest of donald trump. trump in the dock is the times headline. the paperfeatures an image of the former president as he entered a new york courtroom. it describes yesterday as a momentous day in american democracy.

no surprise, the story is dominating papers across the pond with the new york times headlining trump's 3a felonies along with multiple stories on yesterday events. elsewhere, our new queen is the sun's lead, as the paper dedicates most of its front page to camilla's title change, which was revealed on the invitation for king charles's coronation. the daily express also throws ahead to next month's coronation. the paper reports that the king's grandson, george, will be given a starring role during the ceremony as the youngest page boy. i think he has to carry his father's gowns and finery.— gowns and finery. lovely. not trustin: gowns and finery. lovely. not trusting prince _ gowns and finery. lovely. not trusting prince louis - gowns and finery. lovely. not trusting prince louis with - gowns and finery. lovely. not trusting prince louis with the | trusting prince louis with the biggig it gets. trusting prince louis with the biggig it gets-_ trusting prince louis with the bi an it nets. . ., , biggig it gets. that would be fun! -- with the _ biggig it gets. that would be fun! -- with the big — biggig it gets. that would be fun! -- with the big gig. _ biggig it gets. that would be fun! -- with the big gig, yet. - a month before her death last year, dame deborahjames launched the bowelbabe fund with the hope

of raising £250,000 for cancer research. within a week the total hit £3.5 million and today that figure has passed an incredible £11 million. 0ur reporter graham satchell has been looking at dame deborah's legacy. hello, i'm deborahjames, otherwise known as bowelbabe. one thing that i wanted to do before i passed away was to set up the bowelbabe fund. a new video message from dame deborahjames recorded just weeks before she died and released today by her family. we will ensure that more people have access to personalised medicine, clinical trials, cutting edge technology to help more and more people live longer with cancer. three, two, one. we were filming with debra and her family the day she set up the fund. cheering. it passed £1 million within 2a hours and reached £7 million by the time she died. what i really want to happen is i don't want any other deborahs

to have to go through this. and itjust means so much to me. it means kind of... it makes me feel utterly loved, it makes me feel like we're all kind of in it at the end together. and we all want to make a difference and say, you know what, screw you, cancer. you know, we can do better, ee can do better for people. we can do better for people. and we just need to show it who's boss. today, deborah's family has revealed the total amount of the funds now stands at £11.3 million. it will be used with a range of cancer charities to fund new precision treatments that could stop cancer spreading, new tests to detect cancers earlierm and an awareness drive to help people spot the signs of bowel cancer. it's incredible because deborah set

out to raise £250,000 and we smashed through that target within a day. and to think that we're now sat here with this amazing amount of money that's going to have a huge impact on bowel cancer patients and really continuing her legacy. i was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer at the age of 35. we're actually talking about life and death here. it's heart wrenching at times. come on, mummy, you can go faster than that. from the moment of her diagnosis, deborah recorded and shared every twist and turn of her cancerjourney. so i was pooing blood and eventually got diagnosed with a six and a half centimetre tumour up my bum. her openness and honesty had a remarkable impact. gemma crossley started following deborah on social media, mainly because she liked her positivity. her postjust appeared, and it wasjust deborah, one of her raising awareness posts. and i spotted it.

and itjust, that sounded like me. it was because of that post that i went to see the gp. gemma was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer. after a whole range of treatments, two years on, she is now cancerfree. she saved my life and i will always say that, that she saved my life. she saved hundreds of lives. she's left an incredible legacy that, you know, there will never, ever be another deborah, never. but if we can all help in some small way to keep that legacy going and keep that awareness being raised, even if itjust helps one more person, that's one more person that it saves. in the final weeks of her life, deborah released a book and launched a clothing range. money from the rebellious hope t—shirts going to the bowelbabe fund. right to the very end as she got weaker and weaker, she was determined to help other people. we leave the final

word to dame deborah. every penny counts. i cannot thank you enough for your continued support of the bowelbabe fund. you are awesome. graham sucha graham such a reporting. £11 million to every time you see has were reminded what an equitable woman she was, such a tragic end, but what a legacy, raising that money. —— what an incredible woman she was. and on breakfast tomorrow we'll be speaking with dame deborah's husband, sebastien bowen. coming up in half an hour. it's the easter holidays and seasonal treats are in high demand but the rising cost of ingredients is hitting businesses hard. it has been one of those shocks at the supermarkets, trying to stock up

for all of the kids easter eggs, really expensive. we'll talk to a chocolatier they're tackling inflation. ben is having the whole easter experience, little lambs yesterday, hot cross buns and chocolate eggs today! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. lewisham and greenwich nhs trust has been forced to apologise after an employee "mistakenly" sent a message warning doctors who had "a visa sponsored by the trust" would be reported "to border force" if they went on strike. it comes as some junior doctors prepare for more strikes from the 11 to 15 april. bosses at the hospital said it was not trust policy and was sent by an individual to a local whatsapp group. 0rganisers of anti—extremism workshops within schools and colleges across the capital say

they're increasingly having to focus on the controversial views of social influencer andrew tate. he is currently under house arrest in romania for human trafficking and rape allegations, that he denies. the charity groundswell who works with young people say they've come across some worrying attitudes and that it's important they're addressed as early as possible. every single school we've gone to, and that's quite a lot, have been worried about young boys speaking in a misogynistic way, being rude to female teachers, dividing the girls from the boys, and it's becoming quite ugly. they'll tell girls in the school that they basically don't need to be educated and they should just stay at home. that's one of the main themes. fresh testing on the new dlr trains took place at the weekend. tfl hailed the latest signal integration test as "very successful". more testing is yet to take place but bosses say the new trains

will be introduced next year and will replace the current fleet which have been in service since the 1990s. 0k, well, let's see how the dlr and the rest of the tube network is running this morning. there's no service on the 0verground between new cross gate and west croydon / crystal palace due to a signal failure in the forest hill area. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it is another chilly start this morning, some hazy sunshine to start the day, but gradually the cloud thickens and increases and we see rain arrive later. this morning's hazy sunshine brought to you by the high level cloud edging in ahead of the front all night. the cloud will thicken through this morning and this afternoon, rain arriving towards the end of the day. temperatures getting up to 13 celsius. the rain will continue into the evening, heavy, persistent for a time, slow—moving, too, gradually making its way eastwards as we head through to tomorrow morning. the minimum temperature dropping down to 6 celsius.

so a cloudy start tomorrow morning, still could get one or two spots of light rain and drizzle. through tomorrow we will see some showers, they could be quite heavy, still some sunny spells, you might get a rumble of thunder. high pressure builds in for friday, so as we head into the bank holiday weekend it is looking at the moment largely dry on good friday, some sunny spells around, some patchy cloud. similar conditions at the moment for saturday and sunday. there's more on all of todays stories online and on bbc radio london across the morning. i'll be back in half an hour but for now it's back to nina and jon. good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. let's focus now on the news that donald trump is facing criminal charges in new york, something he's since called an insult to america. 0ur correspondent sophie long has been talking to voters in

the state of arizona, which was won by president biden and the democrats in 2020. they may be nearly 2,500 miles from new york city, but they could still show solidarity with their former president. jorge and betty rivas say their support for donald trump has never been stronger. he might be imperfect, he might be someone who doesn't speak eloquently, who used to tweet so much, but, at the same time, he says things the way they are. i am a mexican, el salvador, and he loves everybody. but the people say he's racist and this is not true. the clientele at their mexican restaurant near tucson tend to share their politics. it's kind of a prerequisite for getting served. we need to stand up and say,

you know, "this is not ok. it is not ok for you to attack your political opponent by arresting them." i think his time had come and gone. this whole indictment is changing everybody's opinion and it's giving him more strength and more to run on — arizona was once a reliably republican state, but in 2020 it elected a democratic president for the first time in a quarter of a century. then last year, voters here chose a democratic governor. the republican candidate, who won donald trump's endorsement, did not win the election. nor did other trump—backed, election denying candidates. are you in that picture withjohn mccain? yeah. many moderate republican and independent voters here want to move on. ronald reagan. alberto gutier is a lifelong ultra—conservative republican. he voted for donald trump in 2016 and 2020, but even he's had enough.

why wouldn't you vote for donald trump now? because i think that we need a change. we need to find someone else, others who are not as brash as donald trump, that can carry and rebuild the republican party, not only here in arizona, but nationwide. in a state where every vote counts, a criminal court case could, too. things are heating up for donald trump and, for some here, they're getting too hot to handle. sophie long, bbc news, arizona. we can speak now to political analyst eric ham in new york. and professor richard painter in washington, who is a former chief white house ethics lawyer. thanks for staying up and talking to us this morning uk time. richard, can i talk about the legal side of

this? donald trump in court overnight and we know what the charges are now. what do you take from the list of what we have seen? the essential charges falsification of financial records of a new york business to cover up another crime and the underlying crime is the concealment of these payments, secret payments to stormy daniels and others to persuade them not to talk about donald trump's sexual escapades during his campaign for president. it's perfectly legal in the united states to have sex with a pawn star but probably legal to pay her $130,000 to keep her mouth shut but if you're running for president you have two register as public

expenditure. thejustice department would not indict him because he was a sitting president but now the state of new york comes along and says you can't falsify financial records to cover up a crime anywhere, whether it is a crime in london, washington, united states federal law. new york financial institutions and banks and companies are not to be used to cover up crimes. and falsification of financial records is a serious offence. that is what he has been charged with and that is what... if someone else ordered these records falsified...

he is presenting himself as a victim of a witchhunt, as the one being persecuted here. how is that playing out with the american public? the american out with the american public? tue: american public out with the american public? tte: american public is out with the american public? tt2 american public is not buying it but donald trump's base certainly is, and so is the republican party. donald trump has used this to maximum benefit. we know he has raised millions of dollars for his presidential bid and in addition he has separated himself from the rest of the pack in terms of those running for office. so at least in the short—term donald trump has used this to his advantage. the question is can he continue to go to that same well and draw this level of support? we know there are other investigations far more serious investigations far more serious investigations into donald trump at this time and of turn into criminal

indictments we could even begin to see some within his own party actually begin to move away from him. ~ 2, , actually begin to move away from him. 2 . , , . , ., him. we are seeing pictures of him arrivin: in him. we are seeing pictures of him arriving in the _ him. we are seeing pictures of him arriving in the ballroom _ him. we are seeing pictures of him arriving in the ballroom of - him. we are seeing pictures of him arriving in the ballroom of mara - arriving in the ballroom of mara largo, his florida home. it was like a campaign rally, he was resolute, going out fighting. find a campaign rally, he was resolute, going out fighting.— a campaign rally, he was resolute, going out fighting. and that is what makes this so _ going out fighting. and that is what makes this so compelling, - going out fighting. and that is what makes this so compelling, not - going out fighting. and that is what makes this so compelling, notjust| makes this so compelling, notjust the fact that the united states for the fact that the united states for the first time in its history has a former us president charged with a crime but the fact he is attempting to prove his innocence, he is trying to prove his innocence, he is trying to prove his innocence, he is trying to prove his innocence by tearing down those laws that underpin the democracy of the united states and thatis democracy of the united states and that is so compelling in terms of what we are seeing, because it is not unusual in the west to see former leaders that have been

indicted, charged and even convicted of crimes, we have seen it in france, italy, even south korea, but in no instance have we seen those leaders actually trying to go after the country. what we are seeing from donald trump now with his attacks not only on the attorney and others, it's a full frontal assault on the nation's laws, and he is running to be president where he will take an oath to uphold the very law he is attacking. oath to uphold the very law he is attackina. 2, . ., oath to uphold the very law he is attackin.. . . ., ., , ., attacking. that might come as a surrise, attacking. that might come as a surprise, pledging _ attacking. that might come as a surprise, pledging to _ attacking. that might come as a surprise, pledging to uphold - attacking. that might come as aj surprise, pledging to uphold the attacking. that might come as a - surprise, pledging to uphold the law but you can actually run for president even if he is found guilty. tt president even if he is found uuil . , 2, , president even if he is found uuil . , ., , ., guilty. if he is found guilty of this charge — guilty. if he is found guilty of this charge you _ guilty. if he is found guilty of this charge you could - guilty. if he is found guilty of. this charge you could certainly guilty. if he is found guilty of- this charge you could certainly run and serve as president but if years

found guilty of insurrection, sedition, giving aid and comfort to an insurrection, he is disqualified under the 14th amendment section three of our constitution, and that is the charge that the department of justice is yet to bring in connection with the attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election and the january six riot. that is the most serious charge and there is abundant evidence that donald trump was giving aid and comfort to an insurrection and planning parts of it himself and the department ofjustice may bring that charge. that would disqualify him from office and that is the charge that many americans are waiting to hear about because that is what scares us, someone falsifying financial records to cover up payments to a pawn star, 0k, financial records to cover up payments to a pawn star, ok, it's illegal, a felony in new york, but thatis illegal, a felony in new york, but that is not what scares us. january

six, 2021, that is the difference between a democracy dictatorship. a dictatorship is what you will end up if you tolerate what happened in january 2021. if you tolerate what happened in january 2021-_ if you tolerate what happened in january 2021. thank you for your time. it must be half past one in the morning there, get to bed. john's here with the sport. morning. if chelsea thought a change of manager would be a turnaround, not that easy. yes, you're not expecting a goalless draw at stamford bridge with the success they have had. they are in the bottom half of the table. but in the bottom half of the table. but in the stands last night, frank

lampard, potentially, interim manager at the moment, could he be coming in towards the end of the season? who knows? all change at chelsea off the pitch this week, not a huge imporovment on it. they will rue the two disallowed goals. reece james had this chalked off for offside. kai havertz thought he'd scored but the ball had bounced back off his arm. chelsea 11th, liverpool are eighth, seven points off the champions league qualification places. so how was it for the interim manager at the helm following potter's departure? it's been hard and it's still hard. the friendship, the connection, we are very good friends, and it's difficult to stand here without him, obviously, but i try my best, try my best, the boys are trying their best, and that's the key.

plenty at stake at the other end of the table. leeds took a huge step towards safety, beating fellow strugglers nottingham forest. they had to come from behind, winning 2—1 at elland road. great goal from luis sinisterra to win it. and that lifts leeds out of the relegation zone, up to 13th, whilst the pressure is mounting on forest boss steve cooper — they're only outside the bottom three on goal difference. brighton fans are waking up to the prospect of champions league football next season after a 2—0 win over bournemouth — their first a wonderful backheel from evan ferguson. a rising star with a big reputation as well. aston villa's good run of form under new boss unai emery continues — they've now won six out of their last eight games — bertrand traore's goal securing a dramatic late win over leicester city, 2—1 the score. leicester city have troubles of their own, without their own manager at the moment. now, the former england player luther burrell says he feels proud for speaking out after an rfu investigation found his claims

of racist abuse during his time at newcastle falcons were true. he chose not to name players, saying it wasn't about retribution. after looking at the claims, the rfu have released further research which has found that "in every area of elite rugby, players had experienced some form of racism". burrell has been speaking to our sports editor dan roan. luther burrell! 0n the pitch, luther burrell was a powerful presence, but last year, the former england centre made an impact off it, claiming he'd experienced racism in rugby. the rfu took over an investigation that had been launched by his final club, newcastle falcons, and an eight—month inquiry is now over. the rfu says its report finds, on balance of probability, the allegations made a true, but there's insufficient evidence to say whether all the allegations occurred at the club, apart from a whatsapp message which contained a racist comment. the player was found to be subject to a further two specific

incidents of racial abuse — both were verbal. do you have a sense of relief at that finding? yes, i do. i do, because it's been a tough sort of eight to ten months. i was disappointed initially by the lack of support shown from some of my peers. it was as if my comments were being dismissed. so it was almost like people needed proof. and now this summary has come out, people will understand that. i'm proud of what i've done, what i was saying has been deemed to be the truth. newcastle says it didn't have access to the players' whatsapp group in which the racist language was posted and that the two other incidents occurred on a night out and on an away trip. the inquiry, which interviewed more than 90 past and present employees of the club, said the abuse was hurtful and undermined burrell�*s dignity. to call anybody a slave is not funny. you know? so, yeah, as i said,

it was abhorrent behaviour. it was something that affects my dignity as a player. it affects me as a human, as a father. in a statement, newcastle said, had any reports of this nature been made to hr or management, they would have been dealt with in the appropriate manner. given that, after an extensive investigation, there remains no way to identify those involved, going forward, the club will be focusing on education, as recommended in the report. does it provide me a sense of closure? i believe so, yes. you know, this has not been a witch hunt and it's not about retribution. this is about me finally having my voice heard. this has been about generational change within the sport. with burrell not naming those involved, the rfu says it won't pursue disciplinary proceedings, but it is launching a new action plan to tackle discrimination in rugby and has hailed his courage. dan roan, bbc news.

he hasn't named names. he said he didn't want this to become a witchhunt. but the research which has followed from the rfu, national teams, women's teams, men's teams, academies, at every level there has been some experience of racism, and i think the rfu, there has been a real reluctance for people to try to talk about it, they don't want to come forward, how do you address that, and i think that is something that, and i think that is something that there are if to work on and hopefully they will create an environment where people can share their experiences. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. we all want to know if the sunshine we saw yesterday will continue. it's not going to be today but afterwards most of us will see sunshine. 0ne afterwards most of us will see sunshine. one thing you will notice is how much milder it is this

morning compared to yesterday. under clear skies in the south—east though it is —1. clear skies in the south—east though it is -1. it clear skies in the south—east though it is —1. it is milder because we have a lot of cloud and this rain slowly moving from the west towards the east. it won't get into the far south—east until after dark tonight. in the far south—east we are looking at brightness and sunshine to start. through the day we will see sunshine develop around the moray firth as the first band of rain moves towards the first band of rain moves towards the north sea. north wales, northern england and the south—west as well. northern ireland will see some showers for a time as well but through the day they will be replaced by more rain, a band coming up replaced by more rain, a band coming up from the south—west, quite heavy as it moves across western scotland, northern ireland, into wales and the south—west of england. it will brighten up behind with late sunshine, and across western

scotland. temperatures going from eight in the north to 1a in the south. 0vernight all of this cloud and rain pushes to the east, heavy showers coming in across northern ireland, and it will not be a cold night. tomorrow when the rain clears there will be sunshine but widespread showers as well. talking of the easter weekend, if you have been stocking up on easter eggs or hot cross buns you may have noticed the prices are going up. i used to buy a load of the £1 eggs so if any kids came round he could dish them out. for the kids, yeah? ben's in a bakery in bolton with more. yes, it's a busy morning here. stephen is packing up the breads to take to the bakery shops but also to

the customers, businesses that buy from them. as busy as they always are at this time of day. but at this time of year they are not just making loaves of bread, as tasting and tempting as these look, they are also making easter treats which we all love. look at what they have on offer. chocolate cupcakes topped with carrot icing, some easter chick cupcakes, and some sheep iced cookies. and talking of hot cross buns, everyone's favourite. the thing is, the price of the ingredients to make all of these things is getting more expensive. let me go through some examples. the price of eggs has gone up by more than 30% compared with a year ago. sugar has risen by almost 40% compared with last year. the cost of milk, in some cases up to 42% more expensive than it was a year ago.

all of which makes it more expensive to make all of these products, and the price they end up having to charge customers like you and me. we will hear about the impact in a moment but first hannah miller has spoken to other businesses about how they are coping with rising costs. so we'll do this with white cocoa butterfirst. and then after that, we're going to use a yellow and an orange. at this chocolate shop in lancashire, paul makes almost 2,000 easter eggs a year. so we also use probably too much chocolate for an easter egg. there's no such thing, is there? but the cost of making a treat like this isn't set. give it a little bit of a jiggle and then we put it on our little machine, which then starts spinning. with the chocolate ingredients he uses up 20% this year. a lot of eggs are bought for children and, unfortunately, we know that our chocolate isn't the cheapest. this has now been in the fridge for about 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and we can now reveal.

looking good. 0ne easter egg. and so far this easter, are people still coming? yes, touch wood. you know, we've done some of our big stuff. well, normally we do a big 5.5—kilo egg, which we haven't done this year, we've gone slightly smaller with our rabbit, who's only two and a bit kilos. and we know that we can only go to a certain amount, so we still try and do three for ten, even though they're £4 egg or a £6 egg, and make it at price points which people can afford. food prices are rising at record rates — more than 17% higher than last year, according to the latest data. and at this time of year, around one in six shopping baskets contain some kind of easter treat, with items like chocolate, hot cross buns and roast lamb making up around 4% of our total grocery spending. and at this farm in cumbria, the cost of rearing

animals has gone up. 0urfeed has gone up 50%, our electricity has trebled, water has gone up probably 15%, labour 10%, so everything has gone up astronomically. at one stage last year, it became too expensive to even produce these eggs, leading to shortages in the shops. have the supermarkets started paying you more for the eggs? yes, it has gone up. it did take quite a while really to filter through the system. then obviously some people like ourselves took the decision that we stopped producing for a while. they're paying a rate now that it's sustainable to carry on producing eggs. and in among all the symbols of easter, this year higher prices are fast becoming a tradition as well. hannah miller, bbc news. plenty of treats here, and i have

just noticed the easter bunny cookies as well. let's speak to stephen, a third generation of the family that owns this bakery factory. we have heard about pressures on businesses. what are the biggest cost pressures for you? at the moment it is staff, labour, ingredients and energy. some products— ingredients and energy. some products of course we can invest in machinery— products of course we can invest in machinery such as the plant where the hot _ machinery such as the plant where the hot cross buns go through, but the hot cross buns go through, but the energy— the hot cross buns go through, but the energy to run the machine, last year it_ the energy to run the machine, last year it went — the energy to run the machine, last year it went up over 300% saw significant — year it went up over 300% saw significant increases in energy, and often _ significant increases in energy, and often is _ significant increases in energy, and often is required to bake everything, there is obviously gas, and more — everything, there is obviously gas, and more and more as we go to third parties. _ and more and more as we go to third parties, freezers, you can turn those — parties, freezers, you can turn those off, _ parties, freezers, you can turn those off, so it has been significant.— those off, so it has been significant. presumably if businesses _ significant. presumably if businesses have - significant. presumably if businesses have higher i significant. presumably if - businesses have higher costs, your instinct is to put up the prices but if customers are facing cost of

through into new councils, increasing the number of councillors throughout the country, and increasing the amount of councils where we are part of the administration, having a real impact on creating fairer and greener communities in the country —— across the country. filtrate communities in the country -- across the country-— the country. we have been talking about how the _ the country. we have been talking about how the cost _ the country. we have been talking about how the cost of _ the country. we have been talking about how the cost of ingredients| about how the cost of ingredients and everything is going up and i wonder if the green agenda gets squeezed a little bit when people are worried about what they are going to put on the table. people are worried _ going to put on the table. people are worried about _ going to put on the table. people are worried about the _ going to put on the table. people are worried about the cost - going to put on the table. people are worried about the cost of- going to put on the table. people i are worried about the cost of living crisis and if you take the huge rocketing energy bills we are all facing, for example, and look at some of the root causes, one is the fact that we have the least homes in europe here in the uk. energy literally going out of the roof and the doors, so if we were to insulate our homes across the country, a nationwide programme of home insulation, we could bring down

bills, keep homes warm, and create jobs. that's why we are focusing so much on homes in our announcement today. i hearfrom people that they are being priced out of living in the community they call home, they are seeing luxury homes developed, often on greenfield sites, often threatening local green spaces in the countryside, and local infrastructure not getting the investment it needs, whether it is gp surgeries, school places, bus services, so we are calling for a right homes, right place, right price charter, affordable homes on brownfield sites and investment in services, and built to an environmental standard to keep bills down. t environmental standard to keep bills down. , , 2, environmental standard to keep bills down. , , ., ., , environmental standard to keep bills down. ,, ., ., , , ., down. i guess that means installing thins like down. i guess that means installing things like solar _ down. i guess that means installing things like solar panels _ down. i guess that means installing things like solar panels and - down. i guess that means installing things like solar panels and heat. things like solar panels and heat pumps, but that is really expensive and surely that pushes up the price and surely that pushes up the price and cost of those properties. there is hue and cost of those properties. there is huge public _ and cost of those properties. there is huge public support _ and cost of those properties. there is huge public support for - and cost of those properties. tt22 is huge public support for building and renewable energy when new homes

are built and the government's own target shows we need all homes to be benefiting from renewable energy in the coming years and decades, so if we are going to do that, why would we are going to do that, why would we build new homes now without renewable energy? if you build from the start then the extra cost... so we must be requiring developers to build to a high environmental standards and invest in local services and to stop building over valuable green spaces. too often developers ride roughshod over the needs of communities and environment and there is far more that can be done by local councils as well as government to stand up to that and ensure we get affordable homes to keep bills down and investment in local services. you keep bills down and investment in local services.— keep bills down and investment in local services. you have argued for a lona local services. you have argued for a long time — local services. you have argued for a long time that _ local services. you have argued for a long time that we _ local services. you have argued for a long time that we need - local services. you have argued for a long time that we need stricter. a long time that we need stricter policies on water quality and finding the water companies, tackling sewage. i suppose the

trouble for the green party is all the other parties are now arguing the other parties are now arguing the same kind of thing. is there a risk that even on green issues you are crowded out at a time like this? we see that the government and other parties are dragged kicking and screaming to talk about environmental issues but it is not enough, it is barely a drop in the oceanif enough, it is barely a drop in the ocean if you look at what the government announced this week in terms of water quality, announcing they will ban wet wipes, but it is an allowing water companies to profit from failure, hundreds of leaks into our rivers around the country, what a company is allowed to make £57 billion of profit in a 30 yearfield experiment to make £57 billion of profit in a 30 year field experiment with privatisation. we want water companies back in public ownership and investment in infrastructure and

improvements to stop the overflow of sewage into our rivers and waterways. that is one example of where other parties might promise something on the environment but the delivery is not there. we have to see the same on public transport, making our homes warmer, and being environmentally friendly across the board. the green party has the solutions and more people around the country are voting for green councillors.— local elections getting closer. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning from bbc london, i'm thomas magill. lewisham and greenwich nhs trust has been forced to apologise after an employee "mistakenly" sent a message warning doctors who had a visa to work at the trust they would be reported

to border force if they went on strike. it comes as some junior doctors prepare to walk out from the 11 to 15 april. bosses at the hospital said it was not trust policy and was sent by an individual to a local whatsapp group. 0rganisers of anti—extremism workshops within schools and colleges across the capital say they're increasingly having to focus on the controversial views of social influencer andrew tate. he is currently under house arrest in romania for human trafficking and rape allegations that he denies. the charity groundswell who works with young people say they've come across some worrying attitudes and that it's important they're addressed as early as possible. every single school we've gone to, and that's quite a lot, have been worried about young boys speaking in a misogynistic way, being rude to female teachers, dividing the girls from the boys, and it's becoming quite ugly. they'll tell girls in the school

that they basically don't need to be educated and they should just stay at home. that's one of the main themes. testing on the new dlr trains took place at the weekend. tfl hailed the latest signal integration test as "very successful". more testing is yet to take place but bosses say the new trains will be introduced next year and will replace the current fleet which have been in service since the 1990s. let's see how the dlr and the rest of the tube network is running this morning. there's severe delays on the 0verground between new cross gate and west croydon / crystal palace due to a signal failure in the forest hill area. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it is another chilly start this morning, some hazy sunshine to start the day, but gradually the cloud thickens and increases and we see rain arrive later. this morning's hazy sunshine brought to you by the high level

cloud edging in ahead of the front all night. the cloud will thicken through this morning and this afternoon, rain arriving towards the end of the day. temperatures getting up to 13 celsius. the rain will continue into the evening, heavy, persistent for a time, slow—moving, too, gradually making its way eastwards as we head through to tomorrow morning. the minimum temperature dropping down to 6 celsius. so a cloudy start tomorrow morning, still could get one or two spots of light rain and drizzle. through tomorrow we will see some showers, they could be quite heavy, still some sunny spells, you might get a rumble of thunder. high pressure builds in for friday, so as we head into the bank holiday weekend it is looking at the moment largely dry on good friday, some sunny spells around, some patchy cloud. similar conditions at the moment for saturday and sunday. there's more on all of today's stories online and on bbc radio london across the morning. i'll be back in half an hour but for now it's back to nina and jon.

good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. 0ur headlines today. former president donald trump speaks for the first time since appearing in court. he's pleaded not guilty and says the case is an "insult" to his country. the only crime that i have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. cheering. families of those who died in the contaminated blood scandal wait to hear what compensation they might receive after decades of waiting. the royal family indicate that the queen consort will be known as queen camilla after the coronation. managerless and mid—table. no goals, and no immediate bounce for chelsea after the sacking of graham potter,

made his way through a ballroom packed with crowds of supporters, shaking hands and relishing their attention. in his first public remarks since being indicted, he said the justice system had become lawless. and i never thought anything like this could happen in america. never thought it could happen. the only crime that i have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. cheering. he attacked everyone, from the district attorney prosecuting him to president biden, and accused democrats of conspiring against him. he abruptly ended his speech after 25 minutes with the events earlier clearly taking its toll. it was a day for the history books. a man who once held the highest office in the country experienced the indignity of being booked and arraigned. accommodations and security

arrangements were made, but he was shown no special deference. video cameras were not allowed in the courtroom, but a few photographers captured trump's demeanor and facial expression in the moments before he pleaded not guilty to 3a felony counts. he's been accused of falsifying business records to conceal a crime. the charges are connected to a hush money payment to the porn star stormy daniels. this is a high stakes case for the manhattan district attorney, alvin bragg. in a press conference, he defended his office's decision to pursue an indictment against trump. 3a false statements made to cover up other crimes. these are felony crimes in new york state, no matter who you are. we cannot and will not normalise serious criminal conduct. donald trump left this courthouse and went immediately back to mar—a—lago, but he won't be able to escape his legal troubles here.

the next hearing is set for december, and this indictment may not even be his biggest concern if other investigations into election interference result in prosecution. nada tawfiq, bbc news, new york. we're joined now by our north america correspondent michelle fleury, who's in new york. michelle, it was interesting, because in court, quiet and serious donald trump, and when he got back to florida and addressed the crowds, full of energy and the tub thumping pizzazz we have seen in the campaign trail. 2, �* , pizzazz we have seen in the campaign trail. . �* , ., trail. that's right. from the courtroom _ trail. that's right. from the courtroom to _ trail. that's right. from the courtroom to the _ trail. that's right. from the courtroom to the ballroom | trail. that's right. from the - courtroom to the ballroom there was an absolute shift in tone and mood as you point out. a serious tone, a serious expression at times in new york, acknowledging the moment that

was taking place. never before have we seen an american former president or current be charged with a criminal case. but then he got back to florida and suddenly it was like a light switch had been flipped, and you saw some of the grievances, the angen you saw some of the grievances, the anger, coming out. he did not ever directly to —— address the charges that have been levelled against him by the district attorney alvin bragg, he just by the district attorney alvin bragg, hejust took by the district attorney alvin bragg, he just took aim at by the district attorney alvin bragg, hejust took aim at him by the district attorney alvin bragg, he just took aim at him for bringing the case, he went over the judge presiding over the proceedings, and in some ways it was some of the rhetoric and fire we have seen from donald trump before and it is a reminder that all —— although it is a legal case at heart, it cannot be separated from the legal realm and his ambitions to run for president again in 2020. ——

2024. a man who abducted a young girl from a campsite in the australian outback and held her captive has been jailed for 13—and—a—half years. terence kelly admitted abducting four—year—old cleo smith from herfamily�*s tent in october 2021. the kidnapping sparked a huge police search for the girl, who was missing for more than two weeks. she was found by police at kelly's house minutes from her own home. there have been clashes overnight between israeli police and palestinian worshippers at a mosque in occupied eastjerusalem. we can talk now to our correspondent lucy williamson, who's in jerusalem this morning. good morning. how serious have these crashes being an do we know what has been behind them?— been behind them? there are certainly some _ been behind them? there are certainly some striking - been behind them? there are l certainly some striking pictures been behind them? there are - certainly some striking pictures of the clash taking place, we are told by palestinian medics that the israeli police fired rubber bullets into the mosque after a group of

palestinians barricaded themselves inside the building, threw rocks and fireworks at the police, and the israeli police said they had to go in and clear that building out in time for early morning prayer there this morning. it is something which has happened here before, and i think one thing that everyone is watching is the confluence of two holidays here. we are in the muslim holy month of ramadan and also the jewish holiday of passover is starting and that means that everyone is watching very closely for anything that might lead to clashes around this time. in fact, groups from both sides, extremist jewish groups calling for a goat to be smuggled up to that holy site and smuggled to be small tilt be slaughtered there, palestinian militant groups saying, they are waiting to see what happens is those

holidays come together. teacher strikes are likely to continue in england until the end of the school year after a third teaching union rejected the government's pay offer. the national association of head teachers, mainly representing primary heads, is now considering balloting members over industrial action. the national education union and association of school and college leaders also turned down the offer, which ministers say is fair and reasonable. a report has found police investigating online child abuse are failing to follow up concerns about suspects, leaving some children at risk. the inspection of forces in england, wales and northern ireland found there are often "unacceptable delays and missed opportunities" in responding to allegations. the national police chiefs' council has accepted there are issues but says tech companies also have to play a part in reporting concerns. buckingham palace has indicated that after the coronation, the queen consort will be known

as queen camilla. this title has been used on the formal invitation to next month's ceremony at westminster abbey when she will be crowned alongside the king. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell has this report. a new photograph issued by buckingham palace one month and one day ahead of the coronation, showing the king and the queen consort, as the palace has been at pains to call her from the moment charles came to the throne. but alongside the photograph, the palace also issued this. a copy of the official invitation to the coronation, a brightly coloured document with images of nature. birds, butterflies, flowers and a green man. but it's not the images, but the words that have caught the eye. the invitation refers to the coronation of king charles iii and queen camilla. the wording, camilla, the queen consort, has been dropped. and it's clear that that is quite deliberate. the time has come, the palace and no

doubt the king feel, for the wife of the king to be known as the queen. and after she's crowned alongside the king at westminster abbey on the 6th of may, she will be referred to as queen camilla. one other point of interest. among the eight pages of honour who will process through the abbey with the king and queen will be nine—year—old prince george. he will get a very close view of the ceremony in which one day he will be the central figure. nicholas witchell, bbc news. months ago! —— one month to go! the government has announced the launch of a new digital map of the entire network of power cables, gas pipes, sewers and water mains buried underground across the country. it is in an attempt to avoid accidents and disruption during maintenance and repairs. the interactive map could save the uk economy more than £2 billion a year. it has already been tested in the north—east of england

and will be rolled out throughout england, wales and northern ireland by 2025. the bowelbabe cancer research fund, which was set up by dame deborahjames, has reached £11.3 million. dame deborah spent the last five years of her life sharing her diagnosis and treatment for bowel cancer and fundraising to help others. cancer research uk is now distributing the funds to a range of projects in the hope of finding new treatments. 0n tomorrow morning's programme, we will hearfrom the 0n tomorrow morning's programme, we will hear from the first time since deborah's death from sebastien, her husband, about that incredible legacy that she leaves behind. abs, legacy that she leaves behind. wonderful legacy for a great woman. carol is here with the weather, good morning. good morning. i much milderstart the day then it was yesterday, away

katie walford's dad and thousands of other patients were infected through a contaminated drug or transfusion. katie's hoping a new report which comes out today will finally recognise wider family members for compensation, as rob sissons reports. my dad... i remember his smile. and he was a rascal and he was cheeky. and i've learnt over the years growing up that he was a flirt and he just loved people. katie in darby lost her dad when she was just ten years old. david hatton was only 41. he'd contracted hiv and hepatitis c from nhs contaminated blood products. factor 8 was given to treat his blood disorder hemophilia. katy says there was pressure not to talk about his death. we were made to believe, and it's quite common that a lot of people were made to believe, that they themselves were either a dirty secret or there was a dirty

secret in the family because you just didn't talk about it. it wasn't until i was about 12 years old where i was told the full extent of his health. it's very much always on the surface for me, that experience, having my dad taken away from me far too early. david was just one of tens of thousands of people infected in the nhs contaminated blood scandal between 1970 and 1991. 4,000 infected people and bereaved partners were given £100,000 interim compensation last year. but its children and parents who katie says are among the forgotten ones. if i was to get some financial compensation from this, i'll be able to start rebuilding the memories in his name, to be able to know that dad's here for this. she now hopes a new compensation framework that's expected will finally recognise wider families, the harm, the hurt and ongoing loss. it's incredibly scary that there are still people

who are thinking it's just the way it was at the time. but we're supposed to look back and learn from that, and you're supposed to be able to say, "yes, i need to take responsibility." and some people aren't. he would have been an amazing grandad and that's been taken away from me and my family. it's the recognition, having it documented, validated worldwide and to make sure that this type of thing does not happen again. and there isn't going to be another ten—year—old out there who's going to have to say goodbye to her dad too soon. the government says it welcomes the latest interim report from the long running public inquiry due out later this morning. it says the infected blood scandal should never have happened. rob sissons, bbc news derby. we are joined now by clive smith, the chair of the haemophilia society good morning. a very powerful story from katie, who still misses her dad

terribly. every time you hear these stories of blood contamination, it's so shocking, and there is that secondary layer of shock that it has taken this long for families to get compensation. but particularly extended family, beyond partners. tt is, and this is a scandal which has scanned for decades. you heard that powerful testimony there, sadly her story is repeated across the country. people who have lost parents, siblings, given up their lives to care for loved ones and have received no recognition and compensation. that's what we really hope for today, with the inquiry report in relation to compensation. the government itself commissioned its own report into compensation which they have had since march of last year. it made 19 recommendations and so far only one of them has been actioned. people like katie and is across the country as still waiting for the government to do the right thing and today is the day an opportunity for them to do that. do the day an opportunity for them to do that. ,2, v2, the day an opportunity for them to do that. i. , . ., the day an opportunity for them to dothat. , . ., ., ,, do that. do you expect it to happen toda , do do that. do you expect it to happen today. do you _ do that. do you expect it to happen today, do you expect _ do that. do you expect it to happen today, do you expect a _ do that. do you expect it to happen today, do you expect a number? i do that. do you expect it to happen| today, do you expect a number? we

stunt goes badly wrong." it really all started when a friend, rolly worrell, uploaded on the local facebook pages some pictures of some plastic ducks in a pothole with a funny caption about a family enjoying the water facilities. and that kind of sparked my interest, and i thought i'd join in. nessie was one of the first ones i did. i was rummaging through the grandchildren's toy box and found a brontosaurus. and i thought, well, if i push it down far enough into the pothole, it would just be like the old photographs of the loch ness monster. and so i did that. and then we told a story about how the waters of the lochs up in scotland were too cold, and nessie had come down here for a holiday because it was warmer. they made me laugh every day

and they show that they need to be done because there's so many of them. but i like the story lines of them. you know, theyjust give me something to laugh about. it's all become a bit of a sensation on facebook, but will it make any difference? well, the conservative led essex county council told us... the council's labour group said... while the lib dems told us... as for andy, well, today he heard there was a mermaid for sale in a local charity shop. it was too good an opportunity to miss.

they went on strike. it comes as some junior doctors prepare to walk out from the 11 to 15 april. bosses at the hospital said it was not trust policy and was sent by an individual to a local whatsapp group. 0rganisers of anti—extremism workshops within schools and colleges across the capital say they're increasingly having to focus on the controversial views of social influencer andrew tate. he is currently under house arrest in romania for human trafficking and rape allegations that he denies. the charity groundswell, who work with young people, say they've come across some worrying attitudes and that it's important they're addressed as early as possible. every single school we've gone to, and that's quite a lot, have been worried about young boys speaking in a misogynistic way, being rude to female teachers, dividing the girls from the boys, and it's becoming quite ugly.

they'll tell girls in the school that they basically don't need to be educated and they should just stay at home. that's one of the main themes. testing on the new dlr trains took place at the weekend. tfl hailed the latest signal integration test as "very successful". more testing is yet to take place but bosses say the new trains will be introduced next year and will replace the current fleet which have been in service since the 1990s. 0k, well, let's see how the dlr and the rest of the tube network is running this morning. there's minor delays on the bakerloo and jubilee lines and severe delays on the 0verground between new cross gate and west croydon / crystal palace due to a signal failure now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it is another chilly start this morning, some hazy sunshine to start the day, but gradually the cloud thickens and increases and we see rain arrive later. this morning's hazy sunshine brought to you by the high level

cloud edging in ahead of the front all night. the cloud will thicken through this morning and this afternoon, rain arriving towards the end of the day. temperatures getting up to 13 celsius. the rain will continue into the evening, heavy, persistent for a time, slow—moving, too, gradually making its way eastwards as we head through to tomorrow morning. the minimum temperature dropping down to 6 celsius. so a cloudy start tomorrow morning, still could get one or two spots of light rain and drizzle. through tomorrow we will see some showers, they could be quite heavy, still some sunny spells, you might get a rumble of thunder. high pressure builds in for friday, so as we head into the bank holiday weekend it is looking at the moment largely dry on good friday, some sunny spells around, some patchy cloud. similar conditions at the moment for saturday and sunday. there's more on all of todays stories online and on bbc radio london across the morning. i'll be back in half an hour but for now it's back to nina and jon.

good morning welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. a new bbc investigation exposes a uk life—coaching organisation that is accused of being a cult. the group says it offers self—development, but people who've left say it's taken over their lives. people say they've been encouraged to hand over tens of thousands of pounds, separate from their families and have suffered extreme harassment. 0ne charity which helps people break free from abusive groups says it receives more calls about the organisation than any other in the uk. catrin nye has been working on the investigation. it's been 18 months since jeffrey leejones left lighthouse international group, a life coaching company accused of being a cult.

the 34—year—old sailor from portsmouth initially got involved with the organisation for business mentoring, but soon he was on the phone to his mentor at all hours of the day. i thoroughly enjoy the conversations you and i have. at first i was motivated, i was inspired and i started working hard. these calls then became more frequent, longer, more intense, more about deeper parts of your life. in time began to share traumatic things, things i found deeply painful. jeff was encouraged to become part of lighthouse full time. that meant being on group phone calls every day, often led by paul waugh, their charismatic leader. many people don't know me very well, think i'm a mystic because i'm able to sort of feel things no—one else can. all these calls were recorded, then painstakingly transcribed. they began to take overjeff�*s life. it got longer and longer as we went.

so within six months they're five to six hours. that's every day. every day. so i would listen in at times — the topics were getting more sinister, narcissists, toxic parents. and then that's when i started worrying because i thought he's literally being brainwashed all day, every day. people who have been part of lighthouse have become isolated from family. some move into shared houses, and there's a financial cost, too. in total, jeff paid £131,000 to the organisation. he sold his house to fund some of it. lighthouse says that any money paid is a self investment. erin, anotherformer mentee paid over £35,000. i took out an interest free credit card and the idea came from my mentor. i started to feel as though i couldn't think anything

unless my mentor said that it's a healthy thing to think. when people start to ask questions, things can turn nasty. i'm telling you now, you've got to stop doing it. it's not acceptable. treating as if we're trying to do you over. you're a cynical little witch. lighthouse do not like criticism. people who have spoken out have been reported to the police. lighthouse even contacted the employer of another critic to tell them she was unfit to do herjob. i consider lighthouse a very classic example of a cult. firstly, cults are started and led by a charismatic and authoritarian leader, but they're also bullies. the structure is steeply hierarchical, but it's heavily isolating. then you have this process of what i call brainwashing, or we could also call coercive control. if you do this to people, you can then exploit them. martin's daughter mel is still part of lighthouse. she no longer talks to herfamily. 0ne feels so powerless.

you feel what can i do? what's it like having a child in lighthouse? it's as if my daughter's died. because she's not my daughter, that i know, is not there any more. i'm sorry. one week ago, lighthouse international group was shut down as a business by a court over a lack of financial transparency. we put our allegations to their leader. how do you feel about the fact that so many people think you're running a cult? we're not running a cult because they don't know what a cult is. if you all say, what's the difference with a cult and a community that supports people? they wouldn't be able to tell you. why do you think so many people say it? because they're slurring us. they're smearing us. that's exactly what they do. are you going to carry on? yes, we are carrying on. thank you. we've had enough. no comment. catrin nye, bbc news. in that clip we just saw

investigative journalist catrin nye, and alsojeff leigh—jones, who was part of lighthouse group for three years. they're both here with us now. it must be strange to sit here and watch yourself in a peace like that, talking about your own experiences. it was quite a unique situation. certainly not where i saw my life story going. i wasn't on that path before it occurred. here i am. i am ready to talk about it. ready to find a solution to all of this. find find a solution to all of this. and that is not _ find a solution to all of this. and that is not easy, _ find a solution to all of this. and that is not easy, talking about it and accepting you were one of the people taken in by it, but i guess it demonstrates how easy it can happen without you realising. t happen without you realising. i would have seen myself as quite an unlikely character to end up in a situation like this, given i have always been quite outdoorsy, i was a sailor before ijoined, working with

the military teaching adventure sailing, and one of my goals going into this group was to go to the south pole, and that was a goal that we spoke about, i spoke in depth with my mentor, and he certainly led me to believe that it was going to happen, come to fruition, not only come to fruition but build big business out of it. being where i am now is not what i expected at all. what was the reality, what happened? my what was the reality, what happened? my experience, it was carrot and stick all the way into oblivion. my dreams went up in smoke and my sense of self —— sense of self went up in smoke, freedom went up in smoke, and really it felt like being on a path to nowhere. every day was a circular

conversation, talking, talking, talking but no real pragmatic action. goals came and went, business ventures came and went, and really it went nowhere. you business ventures came and went, and really it went nowhere.— really it went nowhere. you are amazinn really it went nowhere. you are amazing for— really it went nowhere. you are amazing for being _ really it went nowhere. you are amazing for being so _ really it went nowhere. you are amazing for being so open - really it went nowhere. you are amazing for being so open and | really it went nowhere. you are - amazing for being so open and honest about it because it really can't be easy. we all have our perception of what a cult is, what it looks like, who the victims are. has this thrown your preconceptions? t who the victims are. has this thrown your preconceptions?— your preconceptions? i think like a lot of people _ your preconceptions? i think like a lot of people when _ your preconceptions? i think like a lot of people when i _ your preconceptions? i think like a lot of people when i used - your preconceptions? i think like a lot of people when i used to - your preconceptions? i think like a lot of people when i used to think| lot of people when i used to think about cults was probably america, people running around naked in the desert, to be honest, something you wouldn't see in day—to—day life. so when i was contacted about this, jeff's partner contacted me to see her boyfriend was in this group, signed up for a business life coaching but spent the last three years in a cult, it was fascinating straightaway and it was just very

confusing, to be honest. like how can someone sign to the business mentoring and a life coach, someone who is supposed to help them reach their career goals, and find themselves spending day after day on phone calls, listening to this leader talking all day, and abandon everything they thought they were going in there to do. fight! everything they thought they were going in there to do.— everything they thought they were going in there to do. and you came across other _ going in there to do. and you came across other victims, _ going in there to do. and you came across other victims, where - going in there to do. and you came across other victims, where the - across other victims, where the equally surprising? it across other victims, where the equally surprising?— across other victims, where the equally surprising? it was a similar attern, equally surprising? it was a similar pattern. people — equally surprising? it was a similar pattern, people would _ equally surprising? it was a similar pattern, people would sign - equally surprising? it was a similar pattern, people would sign up - equally surprising? it was a similar pattern, people would sign up for. equally surprising? it was a similar| pattern, people would sign up for a life coaching or business coaching, get a mentor, become incredibly close to the main tour, and find the discussion is changing, going from business and are becoming much more about their innermost secrets, their family, what problem theirfamily could be for them, and having those

conversations recorded is really significant about this group and this investigation. every conversation jeff had this investigation. every conversationjeff had with his mentor was recorded, so we have been able to hear everything from inside the group, but it also means that the group, but it also means that the group, but it also means that the group have all those conversations still, and that is quite intimidating. it conversations still, and that is quite intimidating.— conversations still, and that is quite intimidating. it feels like a violation of _ quite intimidating. it feels like a violation of privacy, _ quite intimidating. it feels like a violation of privacy, your- quite intimidating. it feels like a| violation of privacy, your history. well, if it is used in the wrong way thenit well, if it is used in the wrong way then it is. if it is just kept professionally, that's fine. if it is used to blackmail or intimidate, yeah, that is a violation. throughout the process you build up such trust with these people. you are talking about very personal details. talking about things that are quite compelling and attractive to most people, like wisdom and principles of life, billionaires'

habits, and all these things are very compelling, so during that conversation might goals seemed very possible. 0bviously conversation might goals seemed very possible. obviously the outcome was very different. you possible. obviously the outcome was very different-— very different. you talked about the leader, very different. you talked about the leader. paul— very different. you talked about the leader, paulwaugh, _ very different. you talked about the leader, paulwaugh, what— very different. you talked about the leader, paul waugh, what were - very different. you talked about the | leader, paul waugh, what were your impressions? igrate leader, paul waugh, what were your impressions?— impressions? we have hundreds of hours of recordings _ impressions? we have hundreds of hours of recordings from _ impressions? we have hundreds of hours of recordings from inside - impressions? we have hundreds of| hours of recordings from inside this group so i knew about his personality and knew he could be a very different man in different circumstances, very charismatic, warm, someone you'd want to be close to, but also incredibly abusive and intimidating, so i wasn't sure what to expect. in our confrontation, he was a less confident version of paul waugh than i had maybe seen before. he had just come out off court and

start the day, temperatures have fallen away, southend—on—sea is below freezing. this rain has come in from the west and is pushing east, courtesy of a weather front. this warm front. not particularly heavy rain but this cold front coming in later to the west will produce heavier and more persistent rain. starting dry and cold in the east, some early sunshine. then the cloud will build turning the sunshine hazy. then the second front comes in bringing heavier and more persistent rain. but there could be sunshine through the day in the moray firth and if that happens we could have highs of 14—15. windy in the northern isles. this evening and overnight, the rain pushes towards the north sea. clear skies following behind but by the end of the night

heavy showers in northern ireland. and as a result it will not be a cold night, although in sheltered planes, temperatures could slip to 3-4. planes, temperatures could slip to 3—4. so tomorrow the rain moves in the north sea, lingering over the northern isles, windy in shetland. temperatures 7—14. thursday into friday, look how this area of high pressure builds across us. we have weather fronts trying to come in from the west on saturday into northern ireland but they are bumping into high pressure so they will be fairly weak. good friday, some cloud still very close, a remnant of the front from thursday. could produce showers in east anglia but most of us will have a dry and sunny day. into saturday, the

weather fronts trying to come into northern ireland could produce some light rain but for most of us it will be dry, some sunshine, some areas of cloud, and the same on easter sunday, and windy across the north west but mainly dry. 0n easter monday, a bit of a change as showers move from the west to the east through the day. john is reflecting on an important football match last night. it seems strange talking about chelsea and liverpool and a goalless draw. morning. managerless, mid table, no goals and no immediate uplift for chelsea following graham potter's sacking. this goalless draw with liverpool points to the size of the challenge facing whoever replaces him and the ongoing difficulties at liverpool. as jane dougall reports. 0n only his second full day in charge, interim manager

bruno salto faced the longest current serving manager in the premier league. chelsea sacked graham potter afterjust seven months. so what magic could bruno conjure up in his first ever team selection? liverpool'sjurgen klopp was brutal with his, dropping some big names to the bench after poor performances. the first chance went to chelsea. mateo kovacic should have finished the job. liverpool's defence certainly did theirs. then the visitors went close. but chelsea showing they can defend too. the home side might have felt hard done by. two disallowed goals followed, this one going in off kai havertz�*s hand. bruno rapidly learning the highs and lows of management. they thought the spell had been broken, but how quickly the response change from bruno. chelsea continued to knock at the door, but to no avail. a fourth goalless draw in a row

between these two clubs. it was not spectacular, but it was a step. and that's what we have to do, we have to make steps, and sometimes smaller steps and sometimes hopefully bigger steps. but there's no alternative way for that. it's frustrating for the players because we create chances. we scored, scoring offside. it will come. it will come to the boys because they deserve it. not long ago, they would have been vying for the league title, but this performance reflects mid—table mediocrity for both sides. the dream of a top—four finish looking more and more like an illusion. jane dougall, bbc news. lots of work needed for both chelsea and liverpool. leeds another club who've changed their manager, they took a huge step towards safety, beating fellow strugglers nottingham forest. they had to come from behind — winning 2—1 at elland road. great goal from luis sinisterra to win it. and that lifts leeds out

of the relegation zone, up to 13th — whilst the pressure is mounting on forest boss steve cooper — they're only outside the bottom three on goal difference. brighton and aston villa also won last night. and the former england rugby star luther burrell says he feels "proud" after an rfu investigation found his claims of racist abuse during his time at newcastle falcons were true. he chose not to name any of the players involved, saying he wasn't looking for retribution. the club said they would have dealt with any reports they'd received at the time. following on from his allegations the rfu have now launched an inclusion and diversity action plan for the elite game, which burrell welcomes. it's been a tough eight to ten months. i was disappointed initially by the lack of support shown by some of my peers. it was as if my comments were being dismissed. so it was almost like people needed proof, and now this summary has come out and people will understand that.

i'm proud of what i have done, what i was saying has been deemed to be the truth, and we can all hopefully move on with that and generate some change. and that is the key thing, trying to create an environment where people feel comfortable to raise these kinds of things, and the importance of doing so. up till now people haven't been able to do that, and thatis haven't been able to do that, and that is something that luther burrell has been able to do, and hopefully bring about greater change. for many years, demi mant lived with the constant worry she might collapse without warning, due to a rare medical condition — that's until she met a black labrador called bear. bear's

a medical detection dog with an amazing ability to smell when demi's likely to faint — and she says he's completely changed her life. tim muffett went to meet them. and step... this dance school would not exist without this dog. i have pots, which is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. it means that around postural changes that my heart rate goes quite high, my blood pressure drops and i can pass out without any warning, just collapse. the rare condition placed huge restrictions on what demi could do. shopping and public transport were both out of the question, as was her childhood dream. i wanted to teach, i wanted my own dance school — that was kind of the dream. but i didn't envision how that was possible to be responsible for children when i was collapsing without any warning heart surgery and medication didn't help. but then along came bear, a medical detection dog.

i had taken scent samples around when i was having episodes and i'd handed them to medical detection dogs, which they had trained bear, this is a scent, if you alert to the scent, you get a tasty treat. thanks to their incredible sense of smell, dogs have been able to sniff out a range of conditions, including early stage cancer and covid. demi's rare condition pots has nowjoined the list. it's crazy to think how much trust i put into, yes, you, how much trust i put into a dog. bear can give demi a five—minute warning that she's about to collapse as these actual alerts show. he's been trained to back away like this. if that doesn't work, to jump up. these alerts might not look dramatic, but they're life changing. so when you get that alert, what do you then do? i will then go and find a safe place to sit down. so if i'm in public,

for example, out shopping, i will go and find a nice corner that's discreet and out of the way and i will sit down there. bear then may further alert me that i need to lay down, that he's not happy with me sitting down, which is so clever, bear clearly plays such a massive part in your life. how does it feel to be so reliant on a dog like him? i have evenings when i sit and i look at him and ijust cry because it's incredible. deborah was bear's trainer. most biological functions in the body give an odour, and it's normal for most of us when everything is fine. when a person with a health condition goes into a crisis or is about to have an episode, that odour changes and the dogs pick up on that odour and let the person know. for the dog,

it's very much a game because that odour means "i'm going to get treats." the power of the dog's nose, it's the only thing on the planet at the moment that we know of that is able to do this so easily and so effectively. scientists don't know precisely how much better a dog's sense of smell is compared to ours, but believe it could be as much as 10,000 times more acute than a human's. now we might be able to smell a teaspoon full of sugar in a cup of tea. researchers believe dogs can detect a teaspoon full of sugar in a million gallons of water. that's enough to fill two 0lympic sized swimming pools. before you had bear, what was life like in comparison? i'd hit a brick wall once the doctors kind of openly said, we have run out of options. yeah, it was really hard. really hard. he has been life changing. absolutely. and you guys keep going now.

at demi's dance school, bare is much loved. he makes you feel quite comfortable because he's looking after demi. he is always by demi's side. he makes me feel happy because he's keeping demi safe. other dogs are now being trained to detect demi's condition in the hope that others who have it can have their quality of life transformed. tim muffett, bbc news. taking it all in his stride, but what a difference he is making. we arejoined now by simone brainch, assistance dog programme manager at medical detection dogs along withjordan who is a medical assistance dog... i must confess, my mind is blown this morning by the science behind it. jordan is at the point where he has had advanced training but now needs an owner who he will get to know and be able to sniff out the

on the controversial views of social influencer andrew tate. he is currently under house arrest in romania for human trafficking and rape allegations he denies. the charity groundswell who works with young people say they've come across some worrying attitudes in schools. and there will be more on this story on our lunchtime bprogramme at 1.30. let's see how the tube is running this morning. there's minor delays on the bakerloo line between elephant & castle and queens park and also minor delays on thejubilee lines. now onto the weather. and a cloudy chilly start to the day with some heavy stubborn rain developing later this afternoon. top temperature of 12 degrees. there's more on all of today's stories online and on bbc radio london across the morning.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. 0ur headlines today. former president donald trump speaks for the first time since appearing in court. he's pleaded not guilty and says the case is an "insult" to his country. the only crime that i have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. cheering. dame deborah's legacy. the fund she launched before her death from bowel cancer last year raises more than £11 million for research into the disease. and the royal family indicate that the queen consort will be known as queen camilla after the coronation. good morning. with ingredients getting more expensive, i am good morning. with ingredients getting more expensive, iam in good morning. with ingredients getting more expensive, i am in a bakery in bolton finding out what it

means for our favourite easter treats and the price we pay for things like hot cross buns this easter. in sport this morning. racism in rugby union. former england rugby star luther burrell says he's "proud" for speaking out after an rfu investigation found his claims of racism in the sport were true. good morning. it is a cloudy, wet but mild start for many of us today, rain pushing east through the day eradicating the chilly bright start in the south—east but it should brighten up later in western scotland and northern ireland. all of the details throughout the programme. it's wednesday, the 5th of april. our main story. donald trump has spoken publicly for the first time since his arrest and appearance in court to face criminal charges. mr trump told a packed hall of supporters in florida last night that legal action against him was an insult to america after he was charged with 34 counts of business fraud by a court in new york, the first ever former

us president to be charged. nada tawfik reports. a show of defiance just hours after his arrest. back at his mar—a—lago club in florida, donald trump slowly made his way through a ballroom packed with crowds of supporters, shaking hands and relishing their attention. in his first public remarks since being indicted, he said the justice system had become lawless. and i never thought anything like this could happen in america. never thought it could happen. the only crime that i have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. cheering. he attacked everyone, from the district attorney

prosecuting him to president biden, and accused democrats of conspiring against him. he abruptly ended his speech after 25 minutes with the events earlier clearly taking its toll. it was a day for the history books. a man who once held the highest office in the country experienced the indignity of being booked and arraigned. accommodations and security arrangements were made, but he was shown no special deference. video cameras were not allowed in the courtroom, but a few photographers captured trump's demeanor and facial expression in the moments before he pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts. he's been accused of falsifying business records to conceal a crime. the charges are connected to a hush money payment to the porn star stormy daniels. this is a high stakes case for the manhattan district attorney, alvin bragg. in a press conference, he defended his office's decision to pursue an indictment against trump. 34 false statements made to cover up other crimes. these are felony crimes

in new york state, no matter who you are. we cannot and will not normalise serious criminal conduct. donald trump left this courthouse and went immediately back to mar—a—lago, but he won't be able to escape his legal troubles here. the next hearing is set for december, and this indictment may not even be his biggest concern if other investigations into election interference result in prosecution. nada tawfiq, bbc news, new york. a man who abducted a young girl from a campsite in the australian outback and held her captive has been jailed for 13—and—a—half years. terence kelly admitted abducting four—year—old cleo smith from herfamily�*s tent in october 2021. the kidnapping sparked a huge police search for the girl, who was missing for more than two weeks. she was found by police at kelly's house minutes from her own home. there have been clashes overnight

between israeli police and palestinian worshippers at a mosque in occupied eastjerusalem. we can talk now to our correspondent lucy williamson, who's in jerusalem this morning. lucy,it lucy, it sounds like these clashes have become even more intense in the last few hours?— last few hours? yes, overnight israeli police _ last few hours? yes, overnight israeli police say _ last few hours? yes, overnight israeli police say a _ last few hours? yes, overnight israeli police say a group - last few hours? yes, overnight israeli police say a group of. israeli police say a group of palestinians barricaded themselves inside the al—aqsa mosque and refused to leave. when the police went in, they say they were targeted with fireworks, rocks, they did manage to clear the mosque. palestinian medics say they were treating injuries consistent with rubber bullets which they say were fired by the israeli police. that now appears to have been, to be calm in the area. it is a pattern we have seen before at the al—aqsa mosque and the concern is that it could trigger a wider conflict. already we

have seen rockets fired from the gaza strip overnight, no injuries reported as a result of that. and militant groups in gaza say israeli air strikes have targeted several sites in the gaza strip as well in response to that. so we are just waiting to see what might happen next. there is the confluence at the moment of two holidays, thejewish holiday of passover and the muslim holy month of ramadan occurring at same time. so any incident like this is being very carefully watched. thank you, lucy. teacher strikes are likely to continue in england until the end of the school year after a third teaching union rejected the government's pay offer. the national association of head teachers, mainly representing primary heads, is now considering balloting members over industrial action. ministers say the offer is fair and reasonable. 0ur education editor branwen jeffreys reports. piecing together school

budgets isn't easy. most of the money goes on staff. teachers' pay for next year isn't settled. head teachers are also waiting to find out the pay rise for support staff, which will come out of school budgets. we do have a teaching assistant per classroom here. they do a phenomenaljob. i wouldn't want to lose any of them. but there's no infinite pot of money. now another teachers union has rejected the pay offer. a £1,000 one—off cash payment on top of 5% this year. for next year, 4.3% for most teachers, plus a £30,000 starting salary. the government says it's fair and reasonable. this head teachers union told me it's not good enough. we asked members to say, is it affordable in your school? and overwhelmingly they've come back and told us that it's not.

so the government needs to understand that whatever money it thinks it's brought forward, it simply isn't enough. there is more government cash going into england's schools, £2 billion extra next year, half a billion more on offer towards pay. even so, experts say there's little wiggle room in budgets. parents already know they have at least two more days of having children at home after the largest teachers union announced more strikes. now, primary headteachers in england may also decide to ballot over industrial action. far from this dispute being settled, there's every indication it might escalate. branwen jefferies, bbc news. a report has found police investigating online child abuse are failing to follow up concerns about suspects, leaving some children at risk. the inspection of forces in england, wales and northern ireland found there are often "unacceptable delays and missed opportunities"

in responding to allegations. the national police chiefs' council has accepted there are issues but says tech companies also have to play a part in reporting concerns. a digital map of the uk's entire network of underground power cables, gas pipes, sewers and water mains is being created for the first time. this is a view of the uk we have never been able to give you before. this sounds a bit dry but it is fascinating. maybe not dry! t this sounds a bit dry but it is fascinating. maybe not dry! i love mas! it's hoped that the map will cut the number of accidents caused by workers who hit electricity and water lines by mistake. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill reports. a puncture to an unseen pipe. when construction workers accidentally hit this water main in the midlands, it flooded whole streets around the site. any repair to the pipes and cables underground is risky.

to upgrade the water main here, the team has to navigate electricity cables and gas pipes lying almost on top of each other. it's really hard to know what's going on down here because it is invisible to us and it's so dangerous. and working near this vital underground network can be perilous. this farm worker struck a gas pipe. remarkably, he escaped unharmed. floods, power cuts and other disruption caused by these kinds of accidents cost the uk an estimated £2.4 billion every year. so every repair site is carefully mapped, but at the moment there's no one place to find all that information. i have a plan here for the gas. i have a plan here for the power grid, and i have a plan here for 0penreach. now, that is changing. workers on site will be able to access all that data quickly on a digital map, on a phone or tablet. every single different asset

is in a different colour, it then tells you the size and the voltage. here in northumbrian water's control room, that new map is being put to the test. i've just got an alarm in for blythe. the north east's utility companies have all shared their underground plans with the government so that other companies can access them online. what we can do is simply pan and redraw the area and refresh the data. within seconds we can get an updated map or plan. wow. how much of a difference is this going to make? in the field it will help keep our workers much safer than they were previously because better information, better access to information. and from consumers' point of view and our customers' point of view, the minimum amount of disruption and delay that we have associated with that, with maintaining the water network and keeping water flowing to our customers, is good news for them. the government plans to roll out this digital

underground map across england, wales and northern ireland in 2025, covering a complicated network of four million kilometers of wires, pipes, sewers and cables. gas, water, electric, sewage, local authorities, highways agencies. we take their data and we standardise it using some very, very complex technology like artificial machine learning, artificial intelligence to bring it into one place and standardise it. so it's a very big undertaking, but we've made really good progress so far. knowing the exact location of all that buried infrastructure could help keep disruption like this as brief and as safe as possible. victoria gill, bbc news. buckingham palace has indicated that after the coronation, the queen consort will be known as queen camilla. this title has been used on the formal invitation to next month's ceremony at westminster abbey when she will be crowned alongside the king. 0ur royal correspondent

nicholas witchell has this report. a new photograph issued by buckingham palace one month and one day ahead of the coronation, showing the king and the queen consort, as the palace has been at pains to call her from the moment charles came to the throne. but alongside the photograph, the palace also issued this. a copy of the official invitation to the coronation, a brightly coloured document with images of nature. birds, butterflies, flowers and a green man. but it's not the images, but the words that have caught the eye. the invitation refers to the coronation of king charles iii and queen camilla. the wording, camilla, the queen consort, has been dropped. and it's clear that that is quite deliberate. the time has come, the palace and no doubt the king feel, for the wife of the king to be known as the queen. and after she's crowned alongside the king at westminster abbey on the 6th of may, she will be referred to as queen camilla. one other point of interest.

sabina nessa in london in 2021. anthony russell, a triple killer who raped a pregnant woman moments before strangling her in 2020. he was jailed for the rest of his life. emma tustin, a stepmother guilty of the murder of six—year—old arthur labinjo—hughes in 2021. she will serve a minimum of 29 years. and hashem abedi, who was jailed for at least 55 years for helping his brother, salman murder 22 people during the manchester arena attack in 2017. martin hibbert and his daughter eve were the closest people to the bomber to survive, and he was left paralysed. i couldn't believe that they had a choice. you know, i thought with the uk justice system that if you were found guilty, you have to stand there and listen and take it. so, you know, i was upset as i know a lot of the families were, a lot of the other survivors that,

you know, we could not look him in the eye on that day when he was sent down. four years ago, student libby squire vanished on a night out in hull. she was murdered and raped by a serial sex offender, pawel relowicz. relowicz did attend court where libby's mother, lisa watched him getjailed for 27 years. lisa joins us now. for 27 years. thank for 27 years. you so much for coming in to talk thank you so much for coming in to talk about this because i know how tough it must be for you and for other victims and families as well. how important was it for you that you could sit in court and watch his face as he got his sentence? for me, it was really — face as he got his sentence? for me, it was really important. _ face as he got his sentence? for me, it was really important. you - face as he got his sentence? for me, it was really important. you almost l it was really important. you almost take back a bit of their power by watching them being handed down the sentence. and it was nice, he a chilly didn't react, to his sentencing, it was just nice to know that he knew we were watching him ——

libby meant to us, what she still means to us. and i knew that in his previous trial he had got quite emotional when they had spoken about his children. so i wanted to make sure that i spoke about my child to him. , 2, sure that i spoke about my child to him. , ., ., sure that i spoke about my child to him. , . ., ., him. there is an argument that says that people — him. there is an argument that says that people like _ him. there is an argument that says that people like this, _ him. there is an argument that says that people like this, that _ him. there is an argument that says that people like this, that have - that people like this, that have been _ that people like this, that have been so — that people like this, that have been so abhorrent in their behaviour, there will be no apology, there _ behaviour, there will be no apology, there will_ behaviour, there will be no apology, there will be no remorse. so what is there will be no remorse. so what is the point _ there will be no remorse. so what is the point in — there will be no remorse. so what is the point in enforcing them to stand there _ the point in enforcing them to stand there if— the point in enforcing them to stand there if that creates more drama and more _ there if that creates more drama and more upset _ there if that creates more drama and more upset for the families of the victims? — more upset for the families of the victims? ,2, 2, , more upset for the families of the victims? ,., ., , ., �* ,, victims? personally, i don't think that ou victims? personally, i don't think that you can— victims? personally, i don't think that you can be — victims? personally, i don't think that you can be any _ victims? personally, i don't think that you can be any more - victims? personally, i don't think that you can be any more upset i victims? personally, i don't think i that you can be any more upset than having your loved one taken from you. so, each case is different, but for me, ijust knew i had to do it. when i was horrified when i realised that they don't have to come to court to hear their sentences. qt court to hear their sentences. of the court to hear their sentences. of the reason we are talking about that, this week, is that a will ——

0livia pratt—korbel�*s mum and dad and family did not get that opportunity because thomas cashman decided not to be present in court when his sentence was passed. that case is not unique. when you realise that 0livia's family have been denied that opportunity, that moment, what were your thoughts for them? t moment, what were your thoughts for them? 2, , moment, what were your thoughts for them? ., , ,., , moment, what were your thoughts for them? ., , , ., them? i felt really sorry for them. because, them? i felt really sorry for them. because. again. — them? i felt really sorry for them. because, again, he _ them? i felt really sorry for them. because, again, he is _ them? i felt really sorry for them. because, again, he is holding - them? i felt really sorry for them. because, again, he is holding all. because, again, he is holding all the cards. he is holding all of the control. and when your child or loved one has been murdered, you don't have any control. so just to claim a little bit of control, it needs a lot —— means a lot to me and my husband. needs a lot -- means a lot to me and my husband-— my husband. you had hoped to meet with our my husband. you had hoped to meet with your daughter's _ my husband. you had hoped to meet with your daughter's killer _ my husband. you had hoped to meet with your daughter's killer is - my husband. you had hoped to meet with your daughter's killer is part - with your daughter's killer is part of the restorative justice programme, he pulled the plug on it, but you would like to try again, why? t but you would like to try again, wh ? , ,., , ,., . why? i needed be in the same space as the person _ why? i needed be in the same space as the person who _ why? i needed be in the same space as the person who last _ why? i needed be in the same space as the person who last saw - why? i needed be in the same space as the person who last saw my - as the person who last saw my daughter. i'm not naive enough to i

a very good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. lewisham and greenwich nhs trust has been forced to apologise after an employee "mistakenly" sent a message warning doctors who had a visa to work at the trust that they would be reported "to border force" if they went on strike. it comes as some junior doctors prepare to walk out from the 11 to 15 april. bosses at the hospital said it was not trust policy and was sent by an individual to a local whatsapp group. 0rganisers of anti—extremism workshops within schools and colleges across the capital say they're increasingly having to focus on the controversial views of social influencer andrew tate. he is currently under house arrest in romania for human trafficking and rape allegations, which he denies. the charity groundswell who works with young people say they've come across some worrying attitudes and that it's important they're addressed as early as possible. every single school we've gone to,

and that's quite a lot, have been worried about young boys speaking in a misogynistic way, being rude to female teachers, dividing the girls from the boys, and it's becoming quite ugly. they'll tell girls in the school that they basically don't need to be educated and they should just stay at home. that's one of the main themes. new dlr trains got a run out on the network at the weekend suring a series of tests. tfl says the latest signal integration stage was "very successful". further similar tests are yet to take place but bosses say the new trains will be introduced next year and will replace the current fleet, which has been in service since the 1990s. 0k, well, let's see how the dlr and the rest of the tube network is running this morning. there's minor delays on the bakerloo line between elephant & castle and queens park — and also minor delays on thejubilee lines due to a shortage of trains

now onto the weather with kate. good morning. it is another chilly start this morning, some hazy sunshine to start the day, but gradually the cloud thickens and increases and we see rain arrive later. this morning's hazy sunshine brought to you by the high level cloud edging in ahead of the front all night. the cloud will thicken through this morning and this afternoon, rain arriving towards the end of the day. temperatures getting up to 13 celsius. the rain will continue into the evening, heavy, persistent for a time, slow—moving, too, gradually making its way eastwards as we head through to tomorrow morning. the minimum temperature dropping down to 6 celsius. so a cloudy start tomorrow morning, still could get one or two spots of light rain and drizzle. through tomorrow we will see some showers, they could be quite heavy, still some sunny spells, you might get a rumble of thunder. high pressure builds in for friday, so as we head into the bank holiday weekend it is looking at the moment largely dry on good friday, some sunny spells around, some patchy cloud.

similar conditions at the moment for saturday and sunday. there's more on all of todays stories online and on bbc radio london across the morning. i'm back in half an hour, now back to nina and jon. good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. a month before her death last year, dame deborahjames launched the bowelbabe fund with the hope of raising £250,000 for cancer research. within a week the total hit £3.5 million and today that figure has passed an incredible £11 million. 0ur reporter graham satchell has been looking at dame deborah's legacy.

hello, i'm deborahjames, otherwise known as bowelbabe. one thing that i wanted to do before i passed away was to set up the bowelbabe fund. a new video message from dame deborahjames recorded just weeks before she died and released today by her family. we will ensure that more people have access to personalised medicine, clinical trials, cutting edge technology to help more and more people live longer with cancer. three, two, one. we were filming with deborah and her family the day she set up the fund. cheering. it passed £1 million within 24 hours and reached £7 million by the time she died. what i really want to happen is i don't want any other deborahs to have to go through this. and itjust means so much to me. it means kind of...

it makes me feel utterly loved, it makes me feel like we're all kind of in it at the end together. and we all want to make a difference and say, you know what, screw you, cancer. you know, we can do better, we can do better for people. and we just need to show it who's boss. today, deborah's family has revealed the total amount of the funds now stands at £11.3 million. it will be used with a range of cancer charities to fund new precision treatments that could stop cancer spreading, new tests to detect cancers earlier, and an awareness drive to help people spot the signs of bowel cancer. it's incredible because deborah set out to raise £250,000 and we smashed through that target within a day. and to think that we're now sat here with this amazing amount of money that's going to have a huge impact on bowel cancer patients

and really continuing her legacy. i was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer at the age of 35. we're actually talking about life and death here. it's heart wrenching at times. come on, mummy, you can go faster than that. from the moment of her diagnosis, deborah recorded and shared every twist and turn of her cancerjourney. so i was pooing blood and eventually got diagnosed with a six and a half centimetre tumour up my bum. her openness and honesty had a remarkable impact. gemma crossley started following deborah on social media, mainly because she liked her positivity. her postjust appeared, and it wasjust deborah, one of her raising awareness posts. and i spotted it. and itjust, that sounded like me. it was because of that post that i went to see the gp. gemma was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer.

after a whole range of treatments, two years on, she is now cancerfree. she saved my life and i will always say that, that she saved my life. she saved hundreds of lives. she's left an incredible legacy that, you know, there will never, ever be another deborah, never. but if we can all help in some small way to keep that legacy going and keep that awareness being raised, even if itjust helps one more person, that's one more person that it saves. in the final weeks of her life, deborah released a book and launched a clothing range. money from the rebellious hope t—shirts going to the bowelbabe fund. right to the very end as she got weaker and weaker, she was determined to help other people. we leave the final word to dame deborah. every penny counts. i cannot thank you enough for your continued support of the bowelbabe fund.

you are awesome. you can't help but wonder what she would make of the 11 million. the difference it will make to so many lives. an incredible woman. and on breakfast tomorrow we'll be speaking with dame deborah's husband, sebastien bowen. have you been stocking up on easter eggs this week? maybe you're partial to a hot cross bun? well, whatever your treat of choice you might have noticed the prices going up. it is so noticeable. no more a £1 eggs we used to stock up on. ben's in a bakery in bolton with more. 0h, oh, my goodness. hold her back. i thought you were going to throw that

bain is in a bakery business in bolton. we have ice cookies, the next shelf up we have sweet little iced chick doughnuts. and little nests, and easter bunny cookies. but the problem is the cost of the ingredients to make all of this is getting more expensive, significantly so. eggs prices have risen by over 30% compared to last year. and the cost of sugar has gone up by almost 40%. milk prices have increased by up to 42%. all of that puts pressure on businesses like this one and the prices that they ultimately charge customers like you and me. we'll speak more to the staff here in a moment, but first hannah's been to see how businesses have been coping with rising costs, ahead of easter.

so we'll do this with white cocoa butterfirst. and then after that, we're going to use a yellow and an orange. at this chocolate shop in lancashire, paul makes almost 2,000 easter eggs a year. so we also use probably too much chocolate for an easter egg. there's no such thing, is there? but the cost of making a treat like this isn't set. give it a little bit of a jiggle and then we put it on our little machine, which then starts spinning. with the chocolate ingredients he uses up 20% this year. a lot of eggs are bought for children and, unfortunately, we know that our chocolate isn't the cheapest. this has now been in the fridge for about 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and we can now reveal. looking good. 0ne easter egg. and so far this easter, are people still coming? yes, touch wood. you know, we've done some of our big stuff. well, normally we do a big 5.5—kilo egg, which we haven't done this year, we've gone slightly smaller with our rabbit, who's only two and a bit kilos.

and we know that we can only go to a certain amount, so we still try and do three for ten, even though they're a £4 egg or a £6 egg, and make it at price points which people can afford. food prices are rising at record rates — more than 17% higher than last year, according to the latest data. and at this time of year, around one in six shopping baskets contain some kind of easter treat, with items like chocolate, hot cross buns and roast lamb making up around 4% of our total grocery spending. and at this farm in cumbria, the cost of rearing animals has gone up. 0urfeed has gone up 50%, our electricity has trebled, water has gone up probably 15%, labour 10%, so everything has gone up astronomically. at one stage last year, it became too expensive to even produce these eggs, leading to shortages in the shops. have the supermarkets started paying

you more for the eggs? yes, it has gone up. it did take quite a while really to filter through the system. then obviously some people like ourselves took the decision that we stopped producing for a while. they're paying a rate now that it's sustainable to carry on producing eggs. and in among all the symbols of easter, this year higher prices are fast becoming a tradition as well. hannah miller, bbc news. talking about traditions, i know you probably thought i missed them out earlier, the hot cross buns, and easter favourite, earlier, the hot cross buns, and easterfavourite, and plenty year on display at the bakery. let's speak to the retail sales director. this time of year, people want to perhaps indulge and treat themselves but it is costing you more to make all of

now look at them, eighth and 11th, it seems crazy. and they made mincemeat of manchester united, didn't they? they did, that was a highlight, but they haven't been able to kick on. all change at chelsea off the pitch this week, not a huge improvement on it. they will rue the two disallowed goals. reece james had this chalked off for offside. kai havertz thought he'd scored — but the ball had bounced back off his arm. seems crazy that chelsea find themselves in 11th, liverpool in 8th, having been in the running for four trophies last season. leeds took a huge step towards safety, beating fellow strugglers nottingham forest. they came from behind to win 2—1 at elland road, thanks to a great goal from luis sinisterra. that lifts leeds out of the relegation zone, up to 13th, as the pressure mounts on forest boss steve cooper — they're only outside the bottom three on goal difference.

brighton fans are waking up to the prospect of champions league football next season — they're just four points outside the top four after a 2—0 win over bournemouth — their first a wonderful backheel from evan ferguson. aston villa's good run of form under new boss unai emery continues — they've now won six out of their last eight games — bertrand traore's goal securing a dramatic late win over leicester city, 2—1 the score. leicester city are without a manager themselves. now, there is a sense of vindication this morning, some closure and pride that, having spoken out, the rfu have found to be true the former england rugby union star luther burrell�*s experiences of racism whilst playing for newcastle falcons. he said it wasn't about retribution or naming names, but about creating change. and from his account of what went on, the rfu have implememnted a new inclusion strategy as our sports editor dan roan reports.

luther burrell! 0n the pitch, luther burrell was a powerful presence, but last year, the former england centre made an impact off it, claiming he'd experienced racism in rugby. the rfu took over an investigation that had been launched by his final club, newcastle falcons, and an eight—month inquiry is now over. the rfu says its report finds, on balance of probability, the allegations made are true, but there's insufficient evidence to say whether all the allegations occurred at the club, apart from a whatsapp message which contained a racist comment. the player was found to be subject to a further two specific incidents of racial abuse — both were verbal. do you have a sense of relief at that finding? yes, i do. i do, because it's been a tough sort of eight to ten months. i was disappointed initially by the lack of support shown from some of my peers. it was as if my comments were being dismissed. so it was almost like people needed proof.

and now this summary has come out, people will understand that. i'm proud of what i've done, what i was saying has been deemed to be the truth. newcastle says it didn't have access to the players' whatsapp group in which the racist language was posted and that the two other incidents occurred on a night out and on an away trip. the inquiry, which interviewed more than 90 past and present employees of the club, said the abuse was hurtful and undermined burrell�*s dignity. to call anybody a slave is not funny. you know? so, yeah, as i said, it was abhorrent behaviour. it was something that affects my dignity as a player. it affects me as a human, as a father. in a statement, newcastle said, had any reports of this nature been made to hr or management, they would have been dealt with in the appropriate manner. given that, after an extensive investigation, there remains no way to identify those involved,

going forward, the club will be focusing on education, as recommended in the report. does it provide me a sense of closure? i believe so, yes. you know, this has not been a witch hunt and it's not about retribution. this is about me finally having my voice heard. this has been about generational change within the sport. with burrell not naming those involved, the rfu says it won't pursue disciplinary proceedings, but it is launching a new action plan to tackle discrimination in rugby and has hailed his courage. dan roan, bbc news. 0bviously obviously very brave to speak up, and the impact it had on his career as well. �* 2, and the impact it had on his career as well. . ., , ., , and the impact it had on his career aswell. . ., , ., , , as well. and on his family, his confidence. _ as well. and on his family, his confidence. the _ as well. and on his family, his confidence. the toll _ as well. and on his family, his confidence. the toll it - as well. and on his family, his confidence. the toll it takes i as well. and on his family, his| confidence. the toll it takes on ou. confidence. the toll it takes on you- and _ confidence. the toll it takes on you- and i _ confidence. the toll it takes on you. and i know _ confidence. the toll it takes on you. and i know that _ confidence. the toll it takes on you. and i know that our - confidence. the toll it takes on you. and i know that our if - confidence. the toll it takes on you. and i know that our if you j confidence. the toll it takes on - you. and i know that our if you want

to create an environment where people can come forward —— the rfu. they found as part of the wider investigation, all levels of the game, national, women's and men's teams, academies, they have found people have experienced racism at all levels of the game, so how do you address that if it is from top to bottom? create the environment where people come out and speak about it. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. a bit misty. fabulous picture, from our weather watcher. for many of us, we start with a lot of cloud and rain, so it is not as cold a start to the day as

yesterday. where we have had clearer skies, in the south—east, it has been a cold start. some parts have seen temperatures fall below freezing. here comes the rain, it has been with us in the west through the morning, drifting now towards the morning, drifting now towards the east, and later another band will come in. the first band caused by this weather front, and the second of heavier and more persistent rain will come in later due to this cold front. first thing this morning, we had some sunshine, some of us still have it in the south—east. as the cold front approaches, we will look at more cloud building and it means that the sunshine will turn hazy. but it should stay dry in the south—east until after dark. should stay dry in the south—east untilafter dark. it should stay dry in the south—east until after dark. it should brighten up until after dark. it should brighten up in northern ireland and western scotland. most of the sunshine could be across the moray firth, with highs of 14—15. still windy in shetland. this evening and overnight, both weather fronts

continue to move towards the north sea, some clearing skies in the west behind them, then heavy showers by the end of the night into northern ireland. so it is not going to be a cold night. tomorrow we start with cloud and rain in the east, moving into the north sea, lingering across shetland, still windy they are. behind it, sunshine and showers, shower is becoming more widespread through the day, and heavy, especially in parts of eastern england and into the midlands. some of those could be thundery. top temperatures up to 14. thursday night into friday and saturday, high pressure builds. that effectively keeps the weather fronts at bay in the atlantic, although on saturday later we could see a little inroad into northern ireland with light rain. 0n into northern ireland with light rain. on friday, the weatherfront still in the north sea close to the east coast, producing cloud,

possibly the odd shower in east anglia and london. but for most of us, dry and sunny. temperatures 9-14. us, dry and sunny. temperatures 9—14. into the rest of the easter weekend, on saturday we have the weather front coming into weekend, on saturday we have the weatherfront coming into northern ireland with light rain but most will be dry, but quite a bit of cloud on saturday, although we will see some sunshine. into easter sunday, windy, especially in the north—west, also a lot of dry conditions, sunny spells, may be just the odd bit of patchy cloud, then easter monday windy in western scotland and more unsettled. we will see some showers from the west through the course of the day, they will drift east. we can't have it all, it is a bank holiday weekend after all. and we were talking about people
