rory mcilroy is set to miss the cut for the third day of the masters, having to wait another year to try to complete a career grand slam after missing the cut. the northern irishman had a dreadful day with little going his way as he attempted to win the one major that's eluded him. he's on 5—over, with the cut projected to be 2—over. brooks koepka leads the way on 12—under—par. tiger woods look like he'll squeeze through. the a7—year—old finished his second round on 2—over—par. bluescope cover thought full—time major winner, bluescope cover thought full—time majorwinner, in bluescope cover thought full—time major winner, in the driving seat at the masters. —— brooks koepka. and there was a frightening moment when three pine trees came down on the course in stormy conditions. it happened around the 17th hole, with plenty of people watching the action as the trees suddenly crashed down around them. thankfully organisers say no—one was harmed, and staff then set about clearing
6:35 am
the course ready for play today. many people calling it a miracle, thankfully everybody is ok. didn't really do too much wrong. maybe the speed kind of got me on a few putts, wasn't hitting them hard enough towards the end. striking the ball well, landing on good spots. that's what you've got to do. you've got to make birdies on these past fives, take advantage of them, and i'm doing a good job on that. —— par fives. boris becker says his time in wandsworth prison was a "very brutal experience" and that he feels humbled by the time he served. the three—time wimbledon champion was released and deported in december after serving eight months of a 2.5—year sentence for hiding his £2.5 million worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts. he told 5 live breakfast�*s chris warburton he accepts his punishment, despite the judge in his case saying he had shown "no remorse"
6:36 am
for his crimes. i was around murderers, drug dealers, rapists, people smugglers. by dealers, rapists, people smugglers. by dangerous criminals. and you can ask, why was i put into a prison like that? the english prison system, they don't make any difference what you've done. so you don't think you _ difference what you've done. so you don't think you are _ difference what you've done. so you don't think you are a _ difference what you've done. so you don't think you are a disgrace? it i don't think you are a disgrace? it is not a question of whether i am disgraced or not. i made a mistake, i paid for it, i have accepted it, and now i'm going to move on with a new chapter. boris becker there. we show you those pictures, of course, verse three augusta pine trees coming down at the 17th tee. we know the weather is not great today, this is expected to be the worst day of weather across the masters, with those stormy conditions continuing, but really lucky that nobody was injured. really lucky that nobody was in'ured. , , , , injured. yes, because people were cathered injured. yes, because people were gathered beneath _ injured. yes, because people were gathered beneath and _ injured. yes, because people were gathered beneath and around. it . injured. yes, because people were gathered beneath and around. it is injured. yes, because people were i gathered beneath and around. it is a reall bus gathered beneath and around. it is a

6:38 am
i had to fight every single day, for years, in order to achieve very little. the social care system, everyone knows it's broken. ..and a story of love and commitment that has spanned a lifetime. it didn't matter what kind of adversity came our way, we would get through it together, and that's what we did right up until the end. bill and jo invited us into their home, and into their lives, for one reason — to see the reality of living with dementia. it's summer 2022, and i'm in newcastle to follow the story ofjo wilson. hi,jo. are you washing up? no, i'm trying to get something out for me dinner. that's drjo wilson, phd.
6:39 am
she was a high—flying, globe—trotting career woman. she was damn good at what she did and had an international reputation. now, it's come to this. do you know how old you are? do i know how old i am? of course i know how old i am. how old are you? how old am i? mm~ - i don't know, because i haven't made my mind up yet. the isolation of alzheimer's is devastating to see. my number—one girl. this isjo's story, but it's bill's story, too. i love you to bits, don't i? he's desperate for a break, but doesn't know where to turn. stand up. help me, jo, help me. i was trying to help you. no, don't sit down again. stand up... i phoned a2 care homes to look for a respite bed forjo and didn't get one that was prepared to... to offer respite care.
6:40 am
the social care system, everyone knows it's broken. jump in the car. in the car? yeah, we're going out to do some shopping. and we'rejoining them. come on, we're getting out. no, i'm not talking to anybody. i'm just going to sleep. with alzheimer's, everything gets harder... wait. ..even a routine supermarket run. jo, hang on. i'm not going shopping at all. i'm going home. don't walk away, please. jo. i have to pay. what? how was that shop? better than normal. better than normal? better than normal. it's such hard work, though. is this sustainable? well, bill wants to keepjo at home, but he's realistic. i've looked into residential care and, you know, residential care costs £1,500 a week. you heard that right. £1,500 a week.
6:41 am
a few care homes charge less, many charge a lot more. i'm going to put our pyjamas on. it's thought that more than 200,000 people will develop the disease in 2023. there's your tablets and water. it's bedtime forjo... you need some, because you've just put a tablet in. i didn't put a tablet in. ..but no rest for bill. it took me two years to get a care package in place forjo, and i only got that becausejo had a collapse at home and was ta ken into hospital. i'lljust put it over your head. but it didn't solve bill's problems. forjo, her dementia means that changing care staff and rigid timetables don't really work. and so... that's it. ..it�*s back to bill. nice and comfy. finally, jo is settled, and bill's hoping for some sleep. if only! it's now 5:05. it took me so long to actually wake up. by the time i'd seen it, it was too late. so now, the beds wet.
6:42 am
what kind of husband doesn't put his wife first? i'm just so tired. three hours later, and we're back to check in on them. how are you? come in, please. i'm not good today. this is what exhaustion looks like. it's devastatingly hard, watching the woman that you love starting to disappear from your life, starting just to fade away somewhere, and almost a7 years together, was leaving me. and it was like, "i don't want you to leave me. i need you here, with me." i'm so tired. i really would like you just to do simple things to help me. bill's getting jo ready for the dementia day centre. she goes a couple of times a week. a welcome break for bill... on the white, 78. ..and a change of scene forjo.
6:43 am
right, eyes down i for your first house. it's time for bingo. 21. i've teamed up withjo. are you ok, love? it takes dedication to keep this small charity in business, forjo and for all of those who come here. it looked like there was a pool of water in here. bev�*s asked us along to see how things run. you are the chief executive. yeah. you're looking at puddles in the kitchen! we just all have to muck in here. that's right, bev reid is the boss of the entire dementia matters operation here. as well as the day centre, the charity provides residential care — a 2a/7 operation. it's not home—time yet. bev says there's a crisis in the care sector. jeremy, it shouldn't be this bloody hard. day in, day out, it feels like we're living on the edge. the finances, the challenges around worrying about income, about bills. what's your mood now? frustrated. angry.
6:44 am
because it really does feel like a forgotten agenda. are we all right, alan? what's needed is more sams. are we going to read back- through more memory lanes? more jameelas. john, john... more robs. everybody hungry? and that's something the government says it's committed to fixing, but better pay would surely help. simple question, why can't you pay them more? love to pay them all more. i can't pay them more because nobody�*s willing to pay me more, the organisation more. and its money worries for bill back at home as well, with autumn around the corner. let's just see how much gas and electric we're using today. scare the life out of me. the cost of most illnesses is covered by the health service, but with dementia, families can face huge bills.
6:45 am
there is a huge disparity between being ill — that is treatable by the nhs — and having the illness of dementia, which is local authority care. why? i don't understand. because she has dementia, nothing's free. the government says that they've increased funding into research for the latest treatments... you're going to have your tea now. ..but huge bills, rising costs, staff shortages mean a care system stretched beyond capacity. we need the government to put this top of the agenda, because if you think about what happens to people with dementia, currently, the diagnosis is late and the care and support that they need is not there. and what happens is that people will end up in hospital, often in crisis. this is a crisis that we need to support and focus on now. the government says they've set aside £17 million to help those waiting for a dementia diagnosis. if things sound bleak, well, they can be.
6:46 am
hello! but for bill and jo, there are positives, too. a midweek night with the family. oh, what have you got? a bond that cuts through the fog of dementia. poor gerald felt so sad... steve, niece debbie and their kids, creating memories with auntiejo. at the beginning... it's so special to see that, _ and heartbreaking at the same time, to know that it will come to an end at some point soon. _ but i think if anybody can help bill through whatever- may come in the future, - it'll be them two little children. and there's something else, too, bill and jo have each other. if you had jo back for a moment, a lucid moment, what would you say to her, bill? i love you. nothing else.
6:47 am
we start our programme tonight with the story of one family's experience of living with dementia... we broadcast our first story about bill and jo on bbc news in october 2022. jo has alzheimer's disease. it struck a chord... i had the most phenomenal worldwide response to that. letters addressed to, "bill and jo wilson, bbc news story, newcastle upon tyne". ..5o we're back, to see how they're doing. people would be thinking that things couldn't have got worse for bill and jo. i'm sitting here today, jeremy, saying, things have got dramatically worse. worse because the carers who were coming twice a day... up you get. ..are now not coming at all. and the sad thing was, they had onlyjust recognised that we needed more care. they actually withdrew all care? everything, everything. newcastle city council told us the care provider they use simply don't have the people
6:48 am
to care forjo. the system has writtenjo off, but not onlyjo, me too. and how many other thousands of people is the system writing off now? are you ok? i'm 0k. well, not really ok. for bill, this is a new low. so bev�*s come to the rescue. a plan to help take the pressure off. my mental and physical health are deteriorating rapidly. so now, after day care, jo is taken to the residential unit upstairs at the bradbury, where she has tea and she's dressed for bed. it's not mine, it hasn't got her name on it... but after that, it's back in the car... seatbelt on. ..and every night, bill copes alone. it's becoming too much. things have got to the point where i really have to consider residential care forjo. it's not what i ever wanted to happen.
6:49 am
but the bradbury has its problems, too. they've prepared a new residential care bedroom perfect forjo, but still empty. we can't have jo here as a resident until all the approvals process is complete. bureaucracy means frustrating delays, and all at a time when there's a national shortage of care home beds. it'sjust a sin, really. the system is letting people like jo down at the moment. hello, are you all right? can i come in? yes. why not? betty. approval comes from the care quality commission, which says it can't compromise safety for speed. get you tucked in. the government says it's making a huge investment in social care. night—night, then. there is no tomorrow forjo and me. our tomorrow has come and gone. night—night. it's the new year. i'm back in newcastle.
6:50 am
hello. greetings. there's word from bill. trouble, i hear? bad news. i'm just beyond... are you? beyond everything. jo's had a nasty bout of flu... i'm going round and round in circles. ..and the cruel grip of alzheimer's is tightening, as the days and weeks slip by. today, jo's childhood friend christine is here to help. little wee sip. for this internationally—recognised, successful woman, daily life is now a huge challenge. i thought i was beyond exhausted the last time i saw you, jeremy. that was a walk in the park, compared to where i am now. bill now accepts thatjo needs full—time care and wants her at the bradbury centre, with bev. but bev�*s still waiting for confirmation that the room can be used. can i have a little i listen to your chest? is that 0k? jo is struggling. bring that top up. bill has called the doctor's surgery
6:51 am
and caroline's here to help. you're doing really good. at this point, with no residential care place, a hospital admission could be on the cards. your heart is a wee bit fast. clearly, bill thinks that's a bad idea. when the oxygen's that low, - you would normally pop to hospital. right, and i'm going to say no. i thought you might. but then, there's a call... hi, bill! ..from bev. hi, bev. you're on speakerphone. confirmation from the regulator that the room forjo can now be used. bill, we're ready when you're ready. 0k. is this a green light now? yes. sojo can move into that room? yes. brilliant. it's a game—changer. huge relief, but heartbreak too. i've kind of built up to this moment, but when someone says it out loud, i'm devastated. because it's real? yeah. and... i don't know what to do.
6:52 am
well, i know what i have to do. i don't have a choice. but... it's so hard. it's so hard. moving jo here, into residential care, means she's less likely to need a costly hospital bed, and bev says she's ready to do more to relieve pressure on the nhs. we could extend and increase our day services by opening over the weekend. just to be clear, if people are here then, for the most part, they're not in a hospital? exactly. dementia takes so much from so many. for bill and jo, the reality is that this weekend will be their last days at home, under one roof, after a7 years together. a car'sjust outside, waiting for you. it's monday morning, the 16th of january, 2023. a new week, a new hope. one big step, jo.
6:53 am
after months of waiting, jo is finally leaving her home for a place in care. bev is here to welcome her. how's she done today with food? this is desperately—needed support. jo can now settle in. here in the bradbury centre, starting her residential care. she's in the right place. but then, three days later, we get an urgent call from bill... thank you for coming. ..5o we've come straight back to see him. wouldn't be anywhere else, mate. so sorry. it's the saddest news. jo is gravely ill. there is more to life than this disease. look beyond it. look at the person who you love so dearly. my special girl. this was meant to be a new chapter. i've only got one thing on my mind, jeremy, and that'sjo. she's got a couple of days left.
6:54 am
i don't intend moving from her side. that's where i belong. christine is here to help. you've got everybody here who loves you. bev and the staff here have set up a bed for bill right next tojo. you're safe, but you know something? if you're ready to go... ..let go, because i'll be ok. choral music we receive her body into this church this morning. on behalf of everyone, we offer our condolences to bill. drjo helen wilson died at 1:30 pm on saturday, the 21st of january, 2023. she was 69 years old. may she now share with
6:55 am
christ in eternal glory. drjosephine helen wilson, orjo, as we all came to know her... i bill asked me to read his words tojo. jo's always been strong and successful, passionate about her career and passionate about her family. she will be missed so much, by so many. the lord make his face to shine upon her and be gracious to her. i remember the strong, independent woman who knew exactly what she wanted, and it was myjob to make sure she had that right up until the end. and it was to that end that bill and jo wanted us alongside them, to show their story of dementia. i could not have asked for a better eulogy. it was fantastic. my pleasure. may your mercyjoin her
6:56 am
to the angels in heaven. dementia, we all need to understand it. need to understand the real cost of it. what it means to families. for so many people, the same thing will be starting today. they'll be just starting on this process today. it's bill's first time back here at the bradbury centre sincejo died. nice to see you. all right? yeah. surrounded by love and memories. all of us, we really missjo. she had real presence. the raised eyebrow, the wry smile, her sense of humor. she was a brave and admirable woman. it was honest and loving care. care that meant so much. a tribute that bill wanted bev to hear. an absolutely unequivocal, huge thank you. i owe my life to bev. i may well not have been
6:57 am
here now talking to you, had it not been for her. to me, she's just an absolute star. i feel really humbled by what i listened to there. i always feel i should do my very best every day for the people that need us. thank you for being so kind and saying those wonderful words. i won't ever forget them. thank you. my pleasure. bill is now looking ahead... whatever i do going forward will be done injo's name, and it has to bejo's legacy. ..committed to change, so thatjo didn't die in vain. i'm surejo's looking down on me now saying, "you have one job to do, and that's to drive the dementia agenda forward. don't you dare fail at this.
6:58 am
that isn't an option." so bill's teamed up with bev, the boss at dementia matters... we're still on a journey, aren't we? we have a lot of work to do. ..to try to improve the lives of dementia patients and their families. nobody should be suffering this dreadful and difficult time on their own. it's a cruel and awful disease. we need some political will to cut through that fog of, it's too big, it's too expensive. how do we take it forward? there are now plans for a new strategy in england to try and improve patient care. in the meantime, families struggle to navigate the system, desperate to give their loved ones the care and dignity that they deserve. it was a special love story. didn't matter what kind of adversity came our way, we would get through it together.
6:59 am
and... and that's what we did right up until the end.

"have you looked at your e—mails?" and i said, "no," and he said, "we've got this e—mail — "i think it's a scam". well, you would, wouldn't you? don't touch anything, don't click anything! and then we found out it wasn't a scam and he burst into tears and i did as well. well, we still can't quite believe it but it's amazing, i just can't think of words. it's very emotional, it's very strange, because there seems to be so many other people who should be there or could be there or have a greater call on being there, and i'm not giving them my ticket! a00 young people representing charities chosen by the king and the queen consort and the government are also being invited to a special private viewing of the service at this church, st margaret's, next to the abbey. they include members of organisations like the scouts and stjohn's ambulance, who'll be providing support across london on coronation day. around 2000 guests are expected to be invited to the coronation service, which isjust a month away.

7:14 am
areas where you might get a bit of cloud today. but the mist nurse will not last long for some, as you can see, the sun will get to work and it is going to be a beautiful day for many. now, you can see on the satellite picture, that cloud just coming off the north sea at the moment. so the west is likely to be best in terms of sunshine as we go through the day. the cloud should turn to dinner break a little, sequences of sunshine. you may be in for a bit of drizzle, but for most of us it is a dry, settled and still relatively sunny story. temperatures are likely to peak at 16 degrees, 61 fahrenheit. clouding over a little into northern ireland as we go through the afternoon, the weather front trying to push in, they will take the time in doing so, but breeze will pick up, that breeze will prevent the mist and fog forming through the night tonight. tomorrow morning, not quite as murky a start, still the risk of some cloud spilling it off the north sea
7:15 am
and temperatures around low to mid single figures first thing tomorrow morning. on the whole, easter sunday shaping up nicely, with a bit more breeze, and coming from a southerly direction. maybe one degree also warmer, rain on the way, but it will take its time in arriving. on the whole easter sunday is a promising day, especially through much of scotland, england and wales. we will start to see some rain arriving into northern ireland by the end of the afternoon, eventually the western fringes of scotland as well. 17 celsius, not out of the question, 63 fahrenheit, very nice indeed. if you keep the cloud you may see those temperatures once again struggling. a5 temperatures once again struggling. as we go through sunday and into monday, this is the change. wetter and windier weather starting to arrive for the final long day of the weekend, and it looks likely that the rain will ease away from the east, sunny spells and scattered showers, tucking in behind, some of these showers could be quite torrential. monday is the day for
7:16 am
indoor plans, i suspect, get all those chores done that you haven't done over the weekend. 11—13 is the high, not quite as warm, and once that rain arrives, well, that will set a trend as we go through the next week, spells of rain and the chance of gales. typical spring weather, you tend to get four seasons in one day or in one week, thatis seasons in one day or in one week, that is exactly what we are going to see. sunny spells, scattered showers and strong winds. as a new wave ofjunior doctor strikes approaches next week, health bosses are warning it is likely to hit the nhs very hard. a major concern is the uncertainty over critical shifts being filled and the impact of the stoppage after the easter bank holiday weekend. matthew hill reports. coughing
7:17 am
andrew hibbard makes up an important part of the team, in fact, he and his colleagues make up around the half of the workforce of the doctors in the nhs. the last three day strike resulted in 175,000 appointments and procedures being cancelled. next tuesday's strike happens after the long easter bank holiday weekend when the nhs always struggles to catch up, so therefore they walk out ofjunior doctors working both planned and emergency care will affect the nhs's skeleton star, maamau the record three bank holidays, including the coronation. when you add the extra demand for tourism that is the perfect storm for the doctor in charge of the nhs in the region. we for the doctor in charge of the nhs in the region-— for the doctor in charge of the nhs in the region. we are really worried as we always _ in the region. we are really worried as we always are _ in the region. we are really worried as we always are as _ in the region. we are really worried as we always are as we _ in the region. we are really worried as we always are as we approached | as we always are as we approached easter that it is going to be busy, but with the combination of the junior doctor industrial action

7:21 am
valuable work in the nhs, however i don't agree that patient safety will be impacted. i can say that because we have just had a series of strokes a month ago where we walked out for three days. during that time we met with the nhs employers for times a day, there was a mechanism for them to say if they felt patient safety was being compromised and we didn't have a single request for derogations during that time, patient safety was maintained during the last strikes and it will be in these abstracts. you can calibrate homo sapiens are different ways. people aren't being seen who should be seen, that is harm to patients as well, you can't not be there and see patients so they will be people who don't get to see doctors who otherwise would. the see doctors who otherwise would. tue: important thing see doctors who otherwise would. tue important thing to say is crosstalk. is that necessarily true? i'm a there are two sides. doctors work on there are two sides. doctors work on the emergency side, but will be covered. :, , ., , the emergency side, but will be covered. ., , , ., the emergency side, but will be covered. ., , , :, covered. consultants, senior doctors in the hosnital_ covered. consultants, senior doctors in the hospital who _ covered. consultants, senior doctors in the hospital who are _ covered. consultants, senior doctors in the hospital who are not _ covered. consultants, senior doctors

7:23 am
that down is by making sure the nhs is properly funded and staffed and part of that is making sure there is fair deal on pay for the members. what we know from this and other negotiations is that the only way to resolve things is by talking, so explain to people what has happened in relation to any discussions between you and the government. after the last round of industrial action, mr barclay matters for a short meeting. in that time refused to give any sort of offer whatsoever. we have been clear since then that we are happy to meet any time, we would still meet over the bank holiday weekend before the industrial action next week. if he was to bring a credible offer to ours he could even at this stage avoid action. crosstalk. he wants you to drop the top rate — 35% pay rise going into the talks. is that the precondition you are saying he has put on this? the first

setting the pace, leading by three, with amateur sam bennett among his closest rivals after another remarkable display. as for rory mcilroy, though, his hopes are over, and error strewn around leaving him some 17 shots adrift. but after an extraordinary entity yesterday, everybody will be hoping that it is the golfer takes the headlines. not a great weather forecast for play at augusta today, i should say, with some players still to finish the second round. that include scotland's sandy lyle, who is one part away from retiring. he was on the 18th when play was suspended last night. it was a special night for burnley and vincent kompany as his side secured promotion back to the premier league at the first attempt, with seven matches still left to play, after a win over fourth—placed middlesbrough. it finished 2—1, having taken the lead through ashley barnes. boro equalised with a penalty before connor roberts steered

in the winner. kompany�*s side saw out the remainder of the match before they could celebrate with their fans afterwards. they need just 11 points from their final seven games to secure the title. and 13 more points will see them become the first championship team to break the 100—point barrier since leicester city in nine years ago. in scotland, there'll be no rangers fans at celtic park this afternoon, after the decision to not allow away fans to attend old firm matches for the rest of the season because of "safety and security reasons." it's a big game for both, leaders celtic can go 12 points clear of their rivals with a win. it isa it is a big game, and that all big games there is an edge to them. both teams are going to have their moments, i don't think it is going to be any different tomorrow. these other games, particularly at home with all our support, should a cracking atmosphere, the players and everybody involved are looking forward to the contest. there are four derbies over the super league weekend. another one today with leigh hosting salford, that's before a match that's certainly not a local rivalry, as warrington make

8:03 am
dead by police. earlier on friday, two british—israeli sisters were killed in a shooting in the occupied west bank. anna o'neill has more. this is the car which is suspected of ramming a group of tourists in the centre of tel aviv last night. police say a 45—year—old man drove along the city's beachside boardwalk, hitting several pedestrians before overturning. he was shot and killed by israeli police. it happened just hours after two british—israeli sisters were shot dead, and their mother seriously injured, in the occupied west bank. police are still searching for their attacker, but israel's prime minister — visiting the scene yesterday — said this was part of the wider conflict in the region. translation: at these moments, ourforces are operating in the field in hot pursuit of the terrorists. it is only a matter of time, and not much time, that we will hold them accountable, as we did with all the murderers, without exception, in the last months.
8:04 am
on thursday night, israel carried out airstrikes in gaza, a message to the palestinian militant group hamas, blamed for dozens of rocket attacks over the past week. israel also struck what it said were hamas targets in lebanon, after it said the group fired a barrage of rockets from there. tensions are running high following two nights of israeli police raids during ramadan prayers earlier this week at al aqsa mosque, islam's third—holiest site. easter, passoverand ramadan overlap only once every 33 years, and are doing so this year again, against a backdrop of violence. anna o'neill, bbc news. our middle east correspondent lucy williamson has sent this update from jerusalem this morning.
8:05 am
the prime minister visited the site whether two british israeli women were killed yesterday and vowed to find those responsible. he said they had done it with the other attacks taken place in the occupied west bank. just to remind people, these two british israeli women were young, sisters, from the settlement south ofjerusalem, and they were travelling through the west bank in a car going on holiday with their mother when the car was shot out. the two women were killed, the mother is now critically injured and in hospital. israeli police are still searching for the attacker, so we don't have too many more details about that. later on last night, in tel aviv, another attack, a car driven by a man from the nearby town, who drove along the beach road went off the cycle path and hit several pedestrians. one man was
8:06 am
killed, and italian man, he was 36, local media saying he was here on holiday. the italian prime minister has put out a message on social media expressing her deep sorrow and condolences. i should say doctors treating the wounded in that attack say that as well as another italian, three british nationals are among them as well. the bma have told us this morning that they are willing to call off to call off the next week's junior doctor stikes in england, if the health secretary engages in meaningful negotiations. (tx oov)the four day walkout by members of the british medical association is part of a long running dispute about pay. the government has called the union's demands unreasonable and says it will only talk if the strikes are called off. nurses in england are currently voting on whether to accept a seperate pay offer. after our last round of industrial action, steve barclay matters for a
8:07 am
shorter meeting, but in that time refused to give any sort of other whatsoever. we've been clear since then that we are happy to meet at any time, we would still meet him over the bank holiday weekend before that industrial action next week. if he were to give a credible offer, it could still avert action at this late stage. a i2—year—old boy is due in court later today charged with murdering a grandmother who was hit by a car in sheffield on wednesday. 60—year—old marcia grant died in the greenhill area of the city on wednesday. she has been called a "pillar of her community" by herfamily. a i6—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 14—year—old girl died in a fire at a block of flats in east london. emergency crews were called to the blaze in beckton on thursday evening. five others at the address were injured, but they have since been discharged from hospital. more than 850 community and charity representatives from across the uk have been invited to attend the coronation of the king next month. invitations to the ceremony
8:08 am
in westminster abbey have been extended to hundreds of british empire medal recipients, as helena wilkinson reports. among those who will be at the coronation service will be heads of state and other royals from around the world. but at the heart of the congregation will be hundreds of local heroes from across the country. more than a50 people who've been invited here to westminster abbey for the coronation service on may the sixth are british empire medal recipients. they're people who've been recognised for their achievement or contribution to local communities and many of them played a big role in supporting during the covid—i9 lockdowns. likejulian and maria sturdy—morton from london. during the pandemic, they arranged food parcels for people in need. just tell us the moment that you found out that you were going to be invited. chuckles.
8:09 am
well, julian phoned me — i was out — and he said, "have you looked at your e—mails?" and i said, "no," and he said, "we've got this e—mail — "i think it's a scam". well, you would, wouldn't you? don't touch anything, don't click anything! and then we found out it wasn't a scam and he burst into tears and i did as well. well, we still can't quite believe it but it's amazing, i just can't think of words. it's very emotional, it's very strange, because there seems to be so many other people who should be there or could be there or have a greater call on being there, and i'm not giving them my ticket! 400 young people representing charities chosen by the king and the queen consort and the government are also being invited to a special private viewing of the service at this church, st margaret's, next to the abbey. they include members of organisations like the scouts and stjohn's ambulance, who'll be providing support across london on coronation day.
8:10 am
around 2,000 guests are expected to be invited to the coronation service, which isjust a month away. for some, there are already important decisions to be made. what are you going to wear, maria? oh, it really depends on the weather, so layers, i think, and flat shoes. and a hat. but flat shoes, definitely. helena wilkinson, bbc news. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. i'v e i've got the two faces of this morning's weather on offer. quite cloudy and misty at the moment across parts of the eastern england. as you can see. but look at theirs to the west across the lake district in cumbria, glorious morning. see how calm it is, how tranquil it is. light wins have allowed to miss an
8:11 am
fog forming at the moment. but if you have got some low cloud, it should ease away. it has been spilling in from the north sea coast, and eastern scotland, eastern england. hopefully it will thin and break, some sunshine coming through, western area seeing beautiful spells of sunshine, and temperatures are likely to peak at around 16 degrees. clouding over a bit in northern ireland, only 13 degrees. the wins will strengthen. with those wins, we shouldn't get the mist. it is a southerly wind, but we will keep some clear skies, a bit more cloud coming in off the east coast again. temperatures around low to mid single figures tomorrow morning. a bit of a chill in the air, but with the southerly breeze, the sunshine has got some power in it. if you've
8:12 am
got some shelter and sunshine, it will feel warm. decent sunny spells what used to sunday for many. clouding over eventually into northern ireland with stronger winds and rain by the end of the day. for most of those, try unsettled and sunny and warm, highs of 17 celsius, 63 fahrenheit. that for a bank holiday weekend is not bad at all. through sunday into monday, these weather fronts push their way eastwards as the high pressure moves into scandinavia. some rain around on easter monday for everyone. what a difference. the wet weather eases away, sunny spells and scattered sharp showers likely for the second half of the afternoon. temperatures are little bit down, if you get caught in the showers, you will know it. highs of 10—15. caught in the showers, you will know it. highs of 10—15 . that set a trend for the week ahead, pretty unsettled. many are for the easter
8:13 am
holidays, so if you have plans with the children next week, you will need well in things. scattered showers, strong, gusty winds. good old spring weather for the next few days ahead. now, that warm weather that louise was just talking about — will no doubt get many of us flocking to popular tourist destinations across the uk. there's been an increase in domestic tourism since the pandemic, and some resort towns that were feeling a forgotten are enjoying a resurgence, as piers hopkirk has been finding out in margate. for destinations like dreamland, the pandemic years have proved a white knuckle ride. but could there now be blue skies ahead during covid? there was that sort of real
8:14 am
drive for people to go and re—experience their local tourism offers, whereas people weren't going abroad, they were coming to margate and other seaside locations. and it feels like there's just that vibe going on in town where it feels exciting. it feels like this could be a great year for margate. all tourist attractions, of course, have their ups and their downs. but covid has been particularly cruel to the leisure sector. this is the first time since 2019 that dreamland has been able to open for a full season, and this year they're doubling their live music events, hoping that will bring in the numbers and the names. next year, we're already looking at shows for some of some massive sort of worldwide artists that are looking at dreamland as part of the summer open air circuit. 0h, go on, go on. just mention a name that you're aiming for. oh, one that i would love to see would be beyonce.
8:15 am
i don't think it's going to happen, but we'll try. from new comedy to oscar nominated movies. look around you. this whole place is for people who want to escape. enjoying its moment in the spotlight. how do you feel? i think it's really helping the local community bring money in. it's like helping all the local businesses as well. you know, it's putting margate back on the map. and for families a chance to return to the normality the pandemic took away for where they were growing up and starting to do social things, they've got to do a lot of it. it's been really nice as i've got to go on lots

eye, and then he thought it was gone. in terms of his own life, he struggled financially. he had to sell one of the brit awards that was awarded to him. i think that speaks for itself. you can see this was somebody that after the success of the ban, they lived in the shadows and wasn't able to emulate that level of financial success.- and wasn't able to emulate that level of financial success. what is particularly _ level of financial success. what is particularly tragic _ level of financial success. what is particularly tragic about _ level of financial success. what is particularly tragic about the i level of financial success. what is | particularly tragic about the timing of this is that it comes just a few weeks after the announcement of the tour, which had gone down a storm, selling out arenas. a new chapter for them, and as far as we know, he was looking forward to it. just for them, and as far as we know, he was looking forward to it.— was looking forward to it. just a cou-le of was looking forward to it. just a couple of days _ was looking forward to it. just a couple of days ago, _ was looking forward to it. just a couple of days ago, he - was looking forward to it. just a couple of days ago, he was i was looking forward to it. jigit —. couple of days ago, he was pictured dancing around, enjoying the spotlight again. everybody was anticipating this tour, due to start in october. it is good for people

back in 2003, linda schofield received the devastating new that she had advanced breast cancer and that it had spread through the rest of her body. she thought she'd never live to see her children grow, and even went out and made plans for her i2—year—old daughter's future wedding. but today, on the eve of the 20th anniversary of her cancer diagnosis, she will see her daughter walk down the aisle. here's jayne mccubbin. let me introduce gary and linda. you got in touch, gary, to tell us about your good lady. idid indeed. read the letter. certainly, yeah. hello, my name is gary schofield and i want to flag up to you an incredibly story of hope,
8:32 am
determination and love. on 9 april 2003, my wife, linda, received the news all women dread. that was the day linda was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer... you have the notes from the scan, don't you? ..which had already spread throughout her body. there were metastatic deposits at multiple sites in the spine, the cervical area, the thoracic area and the lumbar areas. you must have been terrified. completely, i couldn't get my head around it, but ijust went into another world, i think _ it was such a shock. it was in the pelvic bones, the hips, the ribs and the scapula. and there was actually a tiny bit in her skull as well. you had two small children at home? yeah, i didn't think i would live 48 hours at the time. desperate, desperate, absolutely, yeah.
8:33 am
but then there was this wonder drug, brand—new on the market, and they said you could be one of the first to receive it, and it was called? herceptin. but they had no idea if herceptin would work. you genuinely didn't thought you weren't going to be around to see your kids grow up? yeah, definitely. so much so that when her daughter was only 12, linda prepared for a wedding she thought she'd never live to see. this is a real horseshoe, a pony horseshoe which i bought for her, and i also bought this little book, to the bride. deep down, i'd never get to see her get married. it was a long way off and she was only very young. how did you feel in that moment? you bought the engagement card, too, didn't you? yeah... weeping softly. but you don't need to be crying now. i know! it was hard at the time. she got engaged last year. and the day before, the 20th anniversary of your diagnosis... she's going to get married and i'll be able to witness that. these are all milestones that i never thought i'd be here to see, and i don't intend on going anywhere yet.
8:34 am
linda laughs. i've got a lot to do. yes! definitely got a lot more to do. voice over: a double meniscectomy... ok, you don't know... voice 0ver: chemotherapy twice over... we've arranged something. voice 0ver: ..radiotherapy twice over. come with me, we've arranged a surprise. voice 0ver: and the day after the cancer diagnosis she never thought she'd survive, see'll see her second child walk down the aisle. linda laughs. we thought it might be nice to let you see... cork pops. ..the life you never thought you were going to have flash before your eyes... both: cheers. ..with a little bit of help from people who have been very close to your cancer journey. hello, linda. bit of a surprise for you. you know me very well, you've known me for almost the full 20 years. - probably the first thing i ever said to you was, | "i'm really sorry," and, _ "we're not going to be able to cure "this," and i probably added. something along the lines of,
8:35 am
"but, you know what? -e-rew going to give — you as many months as we can," and you prioritised things. you said, "right, i don't know how long i've got but i'm going to carryi "on looking after my family. "i'm going to carry on being me." you weren't just surviving, you were really living. i what i want your story to doi for everybody else is to say, "actually, we do sometimes win, more often than you think, - "and we win for a long time." hi, linda, i'm sara. i was with you at your diagnosis. 20 years ago i could have had a positive conversation with you but now i can sit with patients, thanks to people like you, and give them hope. oh, sa'. i never thought i'd see that day. and that day as well, i never thought that we would be becoming a grandma and grandad then. hi, mum. it's crazy to think we're 20 years on now. obviously i was only a little
8:36 am
nine—year—old at the time when you were diagnosed, it's crazy to think you didn't think you'd see me grow up, you didn't think you'd see where our lives would go, but now we're sort of 20 years on. love you, mum. a hi, mum, ijust want to acknowledge what a 20 years it's been, _ what a journey that we've all been on. i i'm so proud of you. you've a lot to celebrate, and we're going to have a really good day, i we're going to celebrate. love you! has it made you see life differently, linda? yeah, yeah. i think every day's a blessing. the way that research and science has come on now, it's absolutely incredible. there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. i could watch that all day long!
8:37 am
that was lovely. we don't often get to talk about cancer and a positive way, do we? absolutely not, linda's a really good example of how it can be positive. you are proud of her, aren't you? i couldn't be more proud. i love you. i love you, too. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. that was jayne mccubbin reporting. joining us now is simon vincent from the charity breast cancer now. device to sense there's no getting the diagnosis _ device to sense there's no getting the diagnosis as _ device to sense there's no getting the diagnosis as linda _ device to sense there's no getting the diagnosis as linda did - device to sense there's no getting the diagnosis as linda did gi'tire i device to sense there's no getting the diagnosis as linda did- device to sense there's no getting the diagnosis as linda did give us a sense of how _ the diagnosis as linda did give us a sense of how it _ the diagnosis as linda did give us a sense of how it is _ the diagnosis as linda did give us a sense of how it is getting _ the diagnosis as linda did give us a sense of how it is getting a - sense of how it is getting a diagnosis at noah's computer then. —— mike as compared to then. fine diagnosis at noah's computer then. -- mike as compared to then. one of the thints -- mike as compared to then. one of the things that _ -- mike as compared to then. one of the things that has _ -- mike as compared to then. one of the things that has changed - -- mike as compared to then. one of the things that has changed a - -- mike as compared to then. one of the things that has changed a lot i -- mike as compared to then. one of the things that has changed a lot in l the things that has changed a lot in the things that has changed a lot in the last 20 years is we are asking more and more questions about what sort of cancer litters and what has gone wrong though sales that has made them form a tumour and then spread around the body. more and more we are seeing drugs which are
8:38 am
designed not to have the blanket effect of chemotherapy but to really target down to those cells that have gone wrong in the cancer. in gone wrong in the cancer. in practical terms, what does that mean for those people who present themselves no in terms of the success of treatment?- themselves no in terms of the success of treatment? first of all we ho -e success of treatment? first of all we hepe that _ success of treatment? first of all we hope that because _ success of treatment? first of all we hope that because of - success of treatment? first of all we hope that because of some i success of treatment? first of all we hope that because of some ofl we hope that because of some of those drugs willjust target cancer cells the side—effects will be less. the still are side—effects with the drugs but certainly many people find them easier to be out than some of them easier to be out than some of the other therapies like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. the second thing is unfortunately people will become resistant to those drugs and they will stop working and cancer will start to spread. a fantastic story from linda, 20 years on and the cancer has not returned but for many people that is not the case. but because there are no more and more drugs coming on the market which work against those particular witnesses it means when one drug

linda and gary, we hope you have the most perfect day. now the sport with chetan. you see the augusta pine tree, three came down close to the tee on the 17th, quite a busy area and you had spectators gathered watching what is happening on the 17th. a loud horn then had to sound and play was suspended. we have had bad weather and those high winds are putting those three trees and augusta officials confirmed there were no injuries, the safety and well—being
8:44 am
of everyone attending the tournament is always the top priority and that is always the top priority and that is why they said they had to suspend play in the end so we have some players waiting to come back to complete their second round, not least scotland's sammy lyle. the former champion in 1998. —— 88. in terms of play itself, so many great stories so far. not least american amateur golfer sam bennettjust four shots off the lead, but it's been another masters to forget for rory mcilroy. so much hope going into augusta because of the way he'd been playing but he is set to miss the cut after another miserable round where little went his way. he finished 5—over and a massive 17 shots off the lead and will have to wait another year to try to and win the only major he hasn't won. it's the american brooks koepka who has the clubhouse lead, he's on 12
8:45 am
under par and three clear ofjohn rahm in second. koepka, a four—time major winner, has never won at augusta and is one of those now playing on the breakaway liv series. he was happy to complete his round before the bad weather came in. didn't really do too much wrong. maybe the speed kind of got me on a few putts, but striking the ball well, leaving it in good spots. that's what you've got to do. you've got to make birdies on these par fives, take advantage of them, and did a good job of that. burnley fans will be feeling as happy as brooks koepka is right now, after securing their promotion back to the premier league at the first time of asking. vincent kompany, what a job he's done since taking charge last summer, saw his side win 2—1 at middlesbrough. it means they're promoted with seven games to go after an outstanding season. quite a contrast from a year ago, asjo currie reports. almost 12 months on from the turf moor tears, the burnley wounds have healed! it felt like a case of when, not if, burnley would get back

to the premier league. a win at middlesbrough would see their return to the top flight. if there were earlyjitters, however, they didn't show. josh brownhill went for power, ashley barnes turned the ball in for a vital early advantage. a tangle of legs saw the referee point to the spot. chuba akpom kept his nerve to equalise, to the delight of middlesbrough fans. burnley, though, desperate not to let this opportunity slip through theirfingers, hit back through conor roberts. his goal proving to be vital in the game and their season. come the final whistle, delight and relief. led by manager vincent kompany, it was mission completed. for the travelling fans, a very good friday indeed. jo currie, bbc news. burnley are up — who will go down? it's set to be another pivotal day in the premier league's relegation fight, with two of the bottom three playing as leicester host bournemouth. then manchester city head to bottom side, southampton, there've been 13 premier league managerial changes this season. city boss pep guardiola has no doubt why he's still in a job. i will tell you the secret — we're winning games.
8:47 am
this is nothing secret about that. it is not because my hair is better than the other ones. so... i am not sacked because i win, we win, a lot of games. in scotland, there'll be no rangers fans at celtic park this afternoon, after the decision to not allow away fans to attend old firm matches for the rest of the season because of "safety and security reasons". it's a big game for both — leaders celtic can go 12 points clear of their rivals with a win. at this late stage of the scottish premiership season, rangers boss michael beale knows a win is the only way his in—form side can keep the season alive. well, the team arrive at the game in fine form of ten consecutive league wins. this is the biggest test, going away from home. celtic�*s league to throw away or to lose, if you like.
8:48 am
it doesn't look like, at this moment in time, outside of the game with us, that they will drop points. boris becker says his time in wandsworth prison was a "very brutal experience" and that he feels humbled by the time he served. the three—time wimbledon champion was released and deported sentence for hiding his £2.5 million worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts. he told 5 live breakfast�*s chris warburton he accepts his punishment, despite thejudge in his case saying he had shown no remorse for his crimes. i was surrounded by murderers, by drug dealers, by rapists, by people smugglers, by dangerous criminals. and you can ask, why was i put into a prison like that? the english prison system, they don't make any difference what you've done. so you don't think you are disgraced? it's not a question of whether i am disgraced or not. i have made a mistake, i paid for it, i have accepted it, and now i'm going to move on with a new chapter.

sam bennett, the young american amateur golfer is four shots off the lead in this first ever masters. he has a tattoo which says the words don't wait to do something and he said his father died recently from early onset alzheimer's and it was the very last thing he was able to write, a message to his son, don't wait to do something so he tattoo did on his arm and he has talked about mental health challenges and therapy got an medication he has had to have. a hugely likeable figure. he is halfway through and whatever happens to at this tournament he has won for the future and he said that has almost become a mantra for him and he is living by it at the moment. eagle eyed viewers will have noticed you and i are waiting similar coloured ties today. there
8:50 am
is a significant difference that yours is netted. mine is a knitted tie and years has more of a sheen on it. we are not far off on the suit either. it happened accidentally and not by design. nina did not get the burgundy memo. pretty in pink. it is easter. a bit of a west to east divide. in suffolk a bit misty with low cloud around. but look at windermere this morning, that is where i would like to be. look at that lake, absolutely tranquil.
8:51 am
satellite picture showers where cloud is sitting and it will spell in off the north sea but some cloud around so chasing cloud amounts around so chasing cloud amounts around today but generally the emphasis is still dry, settled and sunny for most of us and the mist and fog were left. an improving picture through the day, with the exception perhaps of northern ireland clouding over with a bit more of a breeze, 13 degrees but the best of the sunshine, 16 celsius not at the question. with the breeze picking up through the evening that should prevent mist and fog returning but as we go through the night still the risk of more cloud spilling and off the north sea. temperatures low to mid single figures for many. a bit of a chill in the airfirst figures for many. a bit of a chill in the air first thing in the morning but the wind direction coming from the south so it should be a bit warmer tomorrow with a bit more of a breeze around but with the southerly wind hopefully temperatures will climb. as we go through the day once again the
8:52 am
breeze should help to thin and break any cloud we have with a little more sunshine coming through but as you can see clouding over with rain arriving to northern ireland at the end of the afternoon. top temperatures 17 celsius, 63 fahrenheit. make the most of it with more wet weather to come. monday will be a real change and as the rain easy three winds will strengthen and even once the rain clears to the east plenty squally showers through the middle of the afternoon. 10 degrees to 15 degrees the overall height. —— the overall high temperature. it will be a different story as we go through the week ahead, sunny spells and scattered showers and strong to gale force wind at times. unsettled.

start to our easter weekend will some sunny spells and at times it will feel pleasantly warm. make the most of the next couple of days, rain for all of those by easter monday. all the details coming up shortly. it's saturday the 8th april. our main story. one person has been killed and several others wounded in a suspected car ramming attack in israel. it happened near a beach in tel aviv, with the attacker shot dead by police. earlier on friday, two british—israeli sisters were killed in a shooting in the occupied west bank. anna o'neill has more. this is the car which is suspected of ramming a group of tourists in the centre of tel aviv last night. police say a 45—year—old man drove along the city's beachside boardwalk, hitting several pedestrians before overturning. he was shot and killed
9:04 am
by israeli police. it happened just hours after two british—israeli sisters were shot dead, and their mother seriously injured, in the occupied west bank. police are still searching for their attacker, but israel's prime minister — visiting the scene yesterday — said this was part of the wider conflict in the region. translation: at these moments, ourforces are operating in the field in hot pursuit of the terrorists. it is only a matter of time, and not much time, that we will hold them accountable, as we did with all the murderers, without exception, in the last months. on thursday night, israel carried out airstrikes in gaza, a message to the palestinian militant group hamas, blamed for dozens of rocket attacks over the past week. israel also struck what it said were hamas targets in lebanon, after it said the group fired a barrage of rockets from there. tensions are running high following two nights of israeli

police raids during ramadan prayers earlier this week at al aqsa mosque, islam's third—holiest site. easter, passoverand ramadan overlap only once every 33 years, and are doing so this year again, against a backdrop of violence. anna o'neill, bbc news. earlier, our middle east correspondent lucy williamson, who is injerusalem, provided more details on the tel aviv attack. we now know that the man killed in that attack has been identified as alessandro parini, who was 36 years old, from italy. local media reports say he was here on holiday and the italian prime minister, giorgia meloni, put out a statement on social media last night expressing her deep sorrow and condolences for the death of our compatriot and solidarity with israel. we know that several other people were also injured in this attack,
9:06 am
at least five of them. israeli police say they were aged between 17 and 7a years old. and one of the doctors who's treating the injured has told israeli television that among them are three british nationals and also another italian national. the man who carried out this attack has been named by police. he's said to be a 45—year—old man from the nearby town of kafr qasim, and they say he was shot by a police officer as he was reaching for a rifle—like object. so we're waiting to get a bit more detail on that. it's not clear exactly what prompted this attack at this time in tel aviv, but obviously there has been a rise in conflict here this week since pictures of israeli police entering a mosque. the mosque at al—aqsa compound has triggered anger amongst palestinians and many others around the region. the bma have told us this morning
9:07 am
that they are willing to call off the next week'sjunior doctor stikes in england, if the health secretary engages in meaningful negotiations. the four—day walk—out by members of the british medical association is part of a long—running dispute about pay. the government has called the union's demands unreasonable and says it will only talk if the strikes are called off. nurses in england are currently voting on whether to accept a separate pay offer. after our last round of industrial action, steve barclay matters for a steve barclay met us for a shorter meeting, but in that time refused to give any sort of other whatsoever. we've been clear since then that we are happy to meet at any time, we would still meet him over the bank holiday weekend before that industrial action next week. if he were to give a credible offer, it could still avert action at this late stage. members of s club 7 say they're "truly devastated" by the death of their band—mate paul cattermole, who has died at the age of 46.

it is incredibly untimely. in a statement, his 5 club 7 bandmates said they were truly devastated and that there were no words to describe the deep sadness. "we are all so lucky to have had him in our lives and thankful for the amazing memories," they said. paul cattermole had previously spoken about difficulties he faced in the years after the peak of the band's fame. i went bankrupt and i had to give all that money back to — and i got annulled. tax problems? tax problems. paid it off, owed about 30. now, the lawyers fees on that were 46. all of my money for that tour went to pay that bill off and i had to do the nextjob that came in, because showbiz. s club 7's fan base stretched as far as australia. worldwide, they sold more than ten million albums. the s club 7 singer paul cattermole, who's died at the age of 46.

way but i thought i would start off with the satellite picture to show you how much sunshine we have. it has been misty and murky, and some cloud. but we will be chasing cloud around. it is only april after all. no spring showers around for today. some of the card will linger here and there on the east coast, but it should break up. we will see some sunshine coming through with a light breeze, those temperatures peaking at 16 celsius, similar to tomorrow, so feeling nice indeed. the winds will strengthen through this evening, welcome news because it will mean the mist and fog won't reform. still some cloud filtering in of the north sea, and we could see low single figures. a bit of a chill in the air first thing for sunday, but try unsubtle for many. we will see the wind strengthened further and some rain into northern ireland by the end of the afternoon,
9:15 am
but for most, it is all about the dry, sunny weather. with some more breeze, it should ship the cloud pushing in of the north sea. 50 pushing in of the north sea. so hopefully more sunshine, temperatures peaking at 17. the rain moving into northern ireland is on its way, spreading eastwards. so all change from easter monday onwards. the isobars squeezing together, the wind is more of a future. as it clears away, the westerly winds driving a rush of showers behind, so some pretty frequent showers to dodge through monday as well. temperatures are bit more subdued, still 15 degrees is not bad for this time of year. let's look further ahead, because it is one area of low pressure being replaced by another into next week. next week stays unsettled, with plenty of isobars on the chart, with some gale forced gus

that will have on our ability to deliver services. junior doctors are in a dispute with the government over pay, but if you take them out of the workforce, how much pressure does that put on you? nurses, junior doctors and notjust those people who've just qualified from university, but everyone who's in trainee positions? 50 around 50% of our medical workforce, our consultants, are going to be stepping in to take on the duties that would normally be performed by ourjunior doctors. what that means is that some of our specialist services won't be able to deliver to the same extent as normal. so if you take that into account, then what are you saying to people who may have a problem over the next ten days who need help? our emergency departments are likely to be busy. if your illness or injury is not life threatening, then do not come to a&e but seek the advice from nhs111. alternatively, seek the advice of the local pharmacy team. our consultants will be delivering care to those who need it most. but if you come to the emergency
9:18 am
department without a serious or life threatening condition, you may have to wait a long time to be seen. the previous three dayjunior doctors strike led to almost 2,000 outpatient appointments and more than 220 procedures being delayed at the leeds trust alone, despite plans to minimize the impact of planned care. some disruption is inevitable, so we experienced further delays for those patients and families. there's obviously an apology from the first perspective. we are trying to minimize that as much as we can do. if they are postponed, we will try and put them in as much urgency as we can do in the weeks ahead. and if someone was expecting a procedure next week, what should they do? at this stage? we've contacted all the patients and families that were planning to postpone. so if you haven't heard anything, then please do attend the hospital. as hospitals across england enter a challenging time, patients are being urged to use services wisely. jamie coulson, bbc news.

now, where's the quirkiest place you've ever stayed? a de—commissioned submarine or how about an igloo? these really are just some of the unconventional places you can spend the night. our reporter lucy vladev is at apple camping in tenby, where you can find some of these alternative lodgings. a lot of people remember pacman. those from pubs in the early days. i have no idea what i am doing, i think i have died four times. this is a pacman, one of the places you can stay in tenby. there is a range of things, you can stay in a ufo or plain. it is one way companies are trying to get people to stay in the
9:20 am
uk, in something called a county location, as prices of fuel rises. ajet plane, a train and a double—decker bus. not a transport museum but a campsite. staycations have soared in popularity since lock downs, with brits spending over two billions pounds on camping holidays in 2021, according to visit england. but for some glampers, the humble tent is no longer enough. with foreign travel back on the agenda, the tourism industry is looking for an new ways to keep us on home turf. is looking for a new ways to keep us on home turf. good god, she's beautiful! converting old vehicles into holiday lets is a quirky trend that comedian johnny vegas has got on—board with in his new channel 11 series, carry on glamping, and it's taken off across the uk. this campsite on the isle of wight has given a helicopter from the falklands a new lease on life. and if you don't feel like spending

9:25 am
so if you can work that out, you're a good mathematician. it's a lot of long hours. don't get a great deal of sleep. this is a little lamb from an earlier flock that i done, but she's quite good, strong lamb. it's got a little coat on just to keep her a little bit warmer. she will drink it quite quick. so if you want to have a go, this mum's only got milk on one side of her udder, so she's only supporting one lamb. just to help this one out, we give it a little bottle. just top it up. it's not all glitz and glamour, and that's for sure. this is my home from home. i'm in for about four months of the year. when you lambing, you need to be on site pretty much all the time. at the moment i'm up at 10:00 in the evening and then i shall do a night shift and i'll see my bed probably about 5:00 this evening. i can lay on the bed, look out and see if anything's lambing. if they're in, i can put my head back down for 5 minutes.

yeah, i like my little bit of independence, but i do like the comfort of my bed and cuddling up to the wife. i absolutely love it. i wouldn't change what i do if i won the lottery tomorrow. i'd still do what i'm doing now. thatis that is a good endorsement. beautiful. it is 926. do stay with us. we will be back in a moment.
9:27 am
hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and nina warhurst. as we've been hearing from louise, the weather looks good for this easter weekend across the uk, so a trip to the beach maybe
9:28 am
on the cards for some. but lifeguards in cornwall are warning visitors to be aware of the risk of collapsing sand dunes as they enjoy the seaside. clare woodling reports. tonnes of sand on these dunes are perched on this overhang. undercut by the tide. unstable and precarious. in time, the sand will dry out and collapse. there's an urgent warning to people enjoying this beach to steer clear of the sand cliffs. so often you'll see people walking over the dunes or children sand surfing down the dunes or playing underneath them. at the moment, obviously, you can see how steep it is and if people come over the top of the dunes, it's a really steep drop that they wouldn't be aware of. so there's risk of falling. over here lots of people have been
9:29 am
signing their names and playing underneath the actual overhang of the dunes. so there's a significant risk here of sand collapsing onto somebody, and that sand suffocating people is a risk of death. volunteers from crantock surf lifesaving club have been patrolling the beach, asking people to stay back. no—one knows when the sand could give way. so you just enjoy the rest of the beach. have you had any injuries so far? no. not this season, but in the past, yes, we have had injuries. so it is important and we have had broken collarbones, broken bones from people who have fallen. the beach is owned and looked after by the national trust. the charity is taking action itself to alert people to the dangers and keep them safe. on the coast, places like sand dunes, they are they're dynamic systems. they're not static. and they do change with the weather, with the tides, high tides,
9:30 am
they get eroded. they grow back again. and this is a natural part and it's part of their beauty and part of what enthuses people about them. but it does mean that you have to be aware when you come. the national trust says following the guidance keeps everyone safe because when visitors go round netting or ignore signs, it can lead others to do so, too. round netting or ignore signs, if people would like to picnic away from the dunes, there's no shortage of space to do so. wejust say, enjoy the beach, enjoy the areas, but please keep away from the edge of the dunes, keep away from the unstable sand along the back of the beach and enjoy the rest of the beach instead. clare woodling, bbc news. that was from our reporter clare woodling. we are nowjoined by helen harvey, a voluntary rnli water safety officer. look at that view behind it is like where you are. can you turn the camera away so we can have a little look around? it camera away so we can have a little look around?— look around? it is gorgeous here. it is a beautiful _ look around? it is gorgeous here. it is a beautiful day _ look around? it is gorgeous here. it is a beautiful day and _ look around? it is gorgeous here. it is a beautiful day and that - look around? it is gorgeous here. it is a beautiful day and that it - look around? it is gorgeous here. it is a beautiful day and that it is i look around? it is gorgeous here. it is a beautiful day and that it is a - is a beautiful day and that it is a beautiful place and oversee why

with butter. cheese and tomato for me now i am vegetarian that are limited options. shall we talk about the masters? it is not the story might have expected to tell today. that is the scene on the 17th tee. very close to where the spectators were watching. many were under that tree and walking past when those three georgia pines came down. thankfully, nobody was injured. it could have been a lot worse. there was a moment we were really wondering whether the tournament would continue because there are
9:37 am
thousand of these trees are making that iconic course at a guess that but the organisers say thankfully no one was hurt and the take safety as a key priority as you would expect and in those stormy conditions uplifting those trees. we expect more bad weather at augusta national today but they say hopefully the winds won't be quite as brutal as they were yesterday. it's brooks koepka who has a three—shot lead on i2—under. amateur sam bennett on eight under, an incredible two rounds from the 23—year—old, rory mcilroy�*s hopes of landing that elusive masters title are surely over, he's 17 shots off the lead and set to miss the cut. but the weather and the lucky escape for specators was day two's biggest talking point as andy swiss reports. commentator: my goodness! wow!
9:38 am
the moment the masters came close to disaster. three trees crashing down among spectators by the 17th hole. thankfully no—one was hurt but it was the luckiest of escapes. organisers later said high winds had brought them down. play had previously been interrupted by the weather, and as staff set about removing the trees, action was suspended for the day. well, with more heavy rain forecast, the weather interruptions may not be over. and after those dramatic scenes on the 17th hole, the organisers say the safety of everyone here is that top priority. some players are still to complete their second rounds. america's brooks koepka is setting the pace, leading by three, with amateur sam bennett among his closest rivals after another remarkable display. as for rory mcilroy, though, his hopes are over,
9:39 am
an error—strewn around leaving him some 17 shots adrift. but after the extraordinary end to yesterday, everybody will be hoping that it is the golf that takes the headlines. it was a special night for burnley and vincent kompany as his side secured promotion back to the premier league at the first attempt, with seven matches still left to play, after a win over fourth—placed middlesbrough. it finished 2—1 — having taken the lead through ashley barnes. boro equalised with a penalty before connor roberts steered in the winner. kompany�*s side saw out
9:40 am
the remainder of the match before they could celebrate with their fans afterwards. they need just 11 points from their final seven games to secure the title. and 13 more points will see them become the first championship team to break the 100—point barrier since leicester city in nine years ago. burnley are up — who will go down? it's set to be another pivotal day in the premier league's relegation fight — with two of the bottom three playing as leicester host bournemouth. then, manchester city head to bottom side southampton, who are on their third manager this season. there've been 13 premier league managerial changes this season. city boss pep guardiola has no doubt why he's still in a job. i will tell you the secret — we're winning games. if we don't win games, i will be sacked. this is nothing secret about that. it is not because my hair is better than the other ones. so...
9:41 am
i am not sacked because i win, we win, a lot of games. in scotland, there'll be no rangers fans at celtic park this afternoon, after the decision to not allow away fans to attend old firm matches for the rest of the season because of "safety and security reasons". celtic can go 12 points clear with victory, which is why rangers boss michael beale knows his side have to win, it's a big game and no big games there's an edge to them and all teams of the moments and i don't think it will be any different tomorrow. a cracking atmosphere and players involved looking forward to the contest. there are four derbies over the super league weekend. another one today with leigh hosting salford, that's before a match that's certainly not a local rivalry, as warrington make the journey to perpignan to face the catalan dragons. yesterday, hull kr thrashed bitter rivals hull fc by a0 points to nil. and the wigan warriors beat rivals and super league champions st helens iii—6 at a packed dw stadium. toby king with the second of their two tries. in rugby union, exeter will look to reach the semifinals of europe's top club competition later as they face the stormers at sandy park. before that, toulouse play the sharks in the european champions cup after a big win for leinster, who knocked out leicester on friday night. it finished 55 points to 2a as they became the first side through to the semis.
9:42 am
ireland centre garry ringrose scored twice for the hosts who are looking to win a record—equalling fifth title. boris becker says his time in wandsworth prison was a "very brutal experience" and that he feels humbled by the time he served. the three—time wimbledon champion was released and deported in december after serving eight months of a two—and—a—half—year sentence for hiding his £2.5 million worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts. he told 5 live breakfast�*s chris warburton he accepts his punishment, despite thejudge in his case saying he had shown no remorse for his crimes. i was surrounded by murderers, by drug dealers, by rapists, by people smugglers, by dangerous criminals. and you can ask, why was i put into a prison like that? the english prison system, they don't make any difference what you've done. so you don't think you are disgraced? it's not a question of whether i am disgraced or not. i have made a mistake, i paid for it, i have accepted it, and now i'm going to move on with a new chapter.
9:43 am
in terms of the golf looking ahead to day three, a nightmare for rory mcavoy. —— mcilroy. i have had people messaging me about the sam bennett story with the words of his dad, don't wait to do something, his dad died a couple of years ago. as an amateur he gets sponsorship but if he wins, he doesn't get a penny of the prize money of $2 million. he is not allowed to take the prize money home because he is an amateur. if you were going for a walk on the beach you could have an egg sandwich. with mayonnaise, it is too
9:44 am
dry on its own. free range organic eggs. we have not disclosed your summer choice. cheese and pickle, quite simple. i thought that was a known thing. louise, what do you think? the good thing about xl juices if you get sand in it you do not know if it is shell or sand. —— 999 not know if it is shell or sand. —— egg sandwiches. east yorkshire, i have been talking about cloud coming in of the north sea and of that has started to ease away, beautiful in east yorkshire this morning. a bit of cloud across temperature but not spalding the day. if you are chasing cloud around i suspect that will be the story through the remainder of the morning. this is the satellite picture from the last couple of hours. a bit of fear weather cloud but also decent sunshine and
9:45 am
considering it is only april we will take that. lots of sunshine to look out for for the remainder of the afternoon. it looks likely we will continue to see a little cloud come and go off the north sea from time to time, a bit more of a breeze starting to develop in northern ireland, a bit more cloud to the end of the day but it will stay dry and temperature speaking at 16 celsius, 61 fahrenheit. through the evening with that breeze picking up it means the mist and fog we have at the moment i don't think we will see so much dull weather through the night tonight. we keep cloud spilling and from the east and temperatures dipped to low single figures sol chilly start to sunday but i dry, settled and predominantly sunny one. rain is on its way and it will push into northern ireland as we go through the latter stages of the day
9:46 am
but for most of us we keep the breeze which will break up the cloud from time to time and it comes from the south so warm, i7 celsius not out of the question by the middle of sunday afternoon, 63 fahrenheit. the wet weather arrives through the evening and overnight. the winds will strengthen and that will push through quite a piece. the westerly flow will dry in plenty showers for the remainder of monday so only when cleaning from the south—east, sunny spells and scattered showers tucking in behind so temperatures a bit more subdued. nevertheless io in behind so temperatures a bit more subdued. nevertheless 10 degrees to 15 celsius the hive. once the showers moved through, we will see one area of low pressure cliche and after another so the week ahead looks pretty unsettled. still holidays for many so if the kids are suspect it will be a slightly different second week. last week we
9:47 am
had relatively dry, settled and sunny, the week ahead showers and longer spells of rain and strong to gale force gusts of wind at times. by 2030, the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles is on track to be banned — but 70% of drivers surveyed by the aa say the government needs to do more to help people buy electric cars and build more charging points. so with seven years to go, our climate editor, justin rowlatt, has been looking at how ready the uk is for the future. 0urjourney begins in cardiff, home of bbc news's science and environment team. the vast majority of carjourneys are local, around nine miles on average. electric vehicles are perfect
9:48 am
for these and much cheaper than petrol or diesel, if you can charge at home. but at least one in three cannot do that, and what about when we go on a longerjourney? home charging costs about 10p per mile at the moment. using public rapid charges like this one costs at least twice as much and that is not the only issue. we need to tackle the vat issue because the vat on public charges is 20% as opposed to the domestic rate which is on 5%. we need charging infrastructure to go along with the number of new electric vehicles coming onto the market. at the moment only a fifth of the 37,000 charges are rapid or ultra—rapid. we need more of those so people can make the journeys easily. look at this — the number of charges has increased rapidly in recent years, but the number of electric cars on the road has been growing even more quickly.
9:49 am
and it isn'tjust fast charging that is expensive. electric cars are as well. mg, now owned by one of china's biggest carmakers, is now trying to create a mass—market electric vehicle. its new model has a 200—mile range and costs £27,000. it is absolutely possible to make a market electric car but it would be a value for money car, not a cheap car, because the raw materials are going to electric vehicles, the batteries specifically, they are subject to market conditions that we don't control and at the moment the cost of those raw materials has never been higher and they continue to increase. there is clearly out a lot of work to be done before the government ban on new petrol and diesel cars comes in in seven years' time. there needs to be a massive investment in charging infrastructure and the cars need

to be more affordable. the national motor museum shows how petrol and diesel cars have evolved. from early cars like this, into the super—efficient vehicles we drive today. but one thing remains the same — they are still powered by exploding gases. and produce nearly a fifth of uk carbon emissions. fit for thejob? internal combustion engine, electric car, which is it? i would have that one on monday to saturday, but that one on sunday. so your heart is with this one but you think the future is here? i love the smell, the sound, the noise. electric vehicles may not have the charisma of a car like this but the truth is the electric revolution is now all but unstoppable. justin rowlatt, bbc news, hampshire.

more than 850 community and charity representatives from across the uk have been invited to attend the coronation of the king next month. invitations to the ceremony in westminster abbey have been extended to hundreds of british empire medal recipients, as helena wilkinson reports. among those who will be at the coronation service will be heads of state and other royals from around the world. but at the heart of the congregation will be hundreds of local heroes from across the country. more than a50 people who've been invited here to westminster abbey for the coronation service on may the sixth are british empire medal recipients. they're people who've been recognised for their achievement or contribution to local communities and many of them played a big role in supporting during the covid—i9 lockdowns. likejulian and maria sturdy—morton from london. during the pandemic, they arranged food parcels for people in need. just tell us the moment that you found out that

you were going to be invited. he chuckles. well, julian phoned me — i was out — and he said, "have you looked at your e—mails?" and i said, "no," and he said, "we've got this e—mail — "i think it's a scam". well, you would, wouldn't you? don't touch anything, don't click anything! and then we found out it wasn't a scam and he burst into tears and i did as well. well, we still can't quite believe it but it's amazing, i just can't think of the words. it's very emotional, it's very strange, because there seemed to be so many other people who should be there or could be there or have a greater call on being there, and i'm not giving them my ticket! 400 young people representing charities chosen by the king and the queen consort and the government are also being invited to a special private viewing of the service at this church, st margaret's, next to the abbey. they include members

of organisations like the scouts and stjohn's ambulance, who'll be providing support across london on coronation day. around 2,000 guests are expected to be invited to the coronation service, which isjust a month away. for some, there are already important decisions to be made. what are you going to wear, maria? oh, it really depends on the weather, so layers, i think, and flat shoes. and a hat. but flat shoes, definitely. helena wilkinson, bbc news. two of the people who will be joining the festivities are katrina moffat, leader of girlguiding uk, and sahil usman, who are with us here now. you just said he received your first medal when it was 16. i you just said he received your first medal when it was 16.— medal when it was 16. i was diagnosed _ medal when it was 16. i was diagnosed with _ medal when it was 16. i was
