our main story: the health secretary steve barclay has accused the doctors�* union the bma of taking a "militant stance" and pressing ahead with strikes that he says "carry a considerable risk to patient safety". writing in the sunday telegraph, mr barclay accuses the union of timing the 4—day strikes to cause "maximum disruption." the national medical director of nhs england has also warned that the industrial action will cause "unparalleled levels of disruption" to the health service, as simonjones reports. 1234, were not taking any more! junior doctors in england are set to walk out again on tuesday. that straight after easter holiday bank weekend, when many staff are on leave, and those four days of action will lead into next weekend, meaning the nhs is facing ten days of reduced services. in a statement, the national medical director of nhs england, professor sir stephen power, said:

the nhs confederation which represents hospital managers is warning that up to a quarter of a million appointments and operations may have to be postponed if the strike action goes ahead. anderson —— and professor sir stephen is warning the ongoing impact of industrial action is making it more difficult to keep key services going, and ultimately reschedule those cancelled appointments. the nhs says it will continue to prioritise emergency and neonatal care, as well as maternity and trauma services. but nhs providers, which speaks for hospital trusts, is warning that even in those areas, there are real concerns of an increased risk to safety. this strike is long _ increased risk to safety. this strike is long in _ increased risk to safety. ti 3 strike is long in duration and falls

at a critical time during holiday season. where securing alternative cover is proving challenging for trusts. so they are deeply concerned. it is not too late the unions and government to come to the table to open negotiations and to avert this action next week. in the british medical— avert this action next week. in the british medical association, - avert this action next week. in the british medical association, which | british medical association, which representsjunior british medical association, which represents junior doctors, british medical association, which representsjunior doctors, is calling for a 35% pay rise to compensate for what it says is more than a decade of salary erosion. but the department of health says it will only agree to talks to try to settle the dispute if the bma calls off the strike and significantly reduces its pay demands. the two sides appear as far apart as ever. simonjones, bbc news. a tense stand—off is continuing injerusalem, where hundreds of palestinians have barricaded themselves inside the al aqsa mosque. the hilltop complex is the third holiest site in islam, and forjews the holiest site injudaism. earlier this week, israeli police raided the mosque after palestinians barricaded themselves inside, after the evening ramadan prayer. jordan, which manages the religious complex, has warned of catastrophic consequences if police enter

the mosque again. meanwhile, two british—israeli sisters killed in a shooting incident in the occupied west bank on friday have been named as rina and maya dee. their father has told the bbc they were "beautiful and wonderful." the young women were shot while driving in thejordan valley with their mother, who is critically ill in hospital. israeli police are still searching for those responsible. our middle east correspondent lucy williamson reports. maya dee was 20 years old, and volunteering for national service in a high school. her younger sister rina was 15. theirfather a high school. her younger sister rina was 15. their father told a high school. her younger sister rina was 15. theirfather told me they were beautiful, popular and wonderful. two sisters were travelling from their west bank settlements to a family holiday by the sea of galilee when there is really car was shot out. they died

minute's silence to remember the victims of these latest attacks. politics and religion may divide people here. grief and loss is familiar to all. more than1 in 10 teachers has been physically assaulted by a pupil in the last year, according to a new survey. more than 8000 staff members told the teaching union, the nasuwt, that they had been kicked, bitten, punched and slapped. the government has said that it's taking action to improve pupil behaviour, including funding a £10 million programme called behaviour hubs. the scottish conservative leader, douglas ross, has urged supporters to vote labour at the next election in seats where the party could beat the snp. speaking to the sunday telegraph, he says the election will be an opportunity for parties that believe in the uk to loosen the snp's grip on the country. but a conservative spokesperson said tactical voting was not the party's policy.

earlier, our religion editor aleem maqbool gave us some details about pope francis' health and plans for today's mass in st peter's basilica. well, tens of thousands of people have descended on rome for this easter weekend, as they do every year. but all of those who have travelled from all over the world, at one point, wouldn't have known whether or not they would see pope francis at all, because just over a week ago he was admitted to hospital with reading difficulties. it was later determined that he had bronchitis. —— breathing difficulties. but since he has been discharged he has kept up all his commitments during what is the busiest week on his calendar. so, he led services on palm sunday, he made his weekly appearance on wednesday, services on maundy thursday, and lead mass on good friday. but for

the first time since he became pope in 2013, he did miss the vehicle purchase on the night of good friday, that is the procession that takes us through the stations of the cross and commemorates the final hours in the life ofjesus. —— did miss the via cruces. the vatican says he missed that because of the cold snap rome is experiencing, and thatis cold snap rome is experiencing, and that is an event that takes place outside. but we are expecting the pope francis will lead easter sunday mass, and then at lunchtime, all eyes will be on the balcony behind me at saint peters priscilla carr, where the pope is due to make an appearance and bless the crowds. —— saint peters basilica. plans to make it more difficult for children to illegally buy e—cigarettes in england are to be laid out by the government next week. an "enforcement squad" will be set up to clamp down on shops selling vapes to under—18s. victoria bourne reports. with their sweet flavours and

brightly coloured packaging, there has long been concerned that e cigarettes and vapes are becoming increasingly attractive to youngsters. and despite it being illegal, government data shows nearly 10% of all under—18s in england have either tried or are regularly using the devices. but there are hopes a range of new measures set to be announced by the department of health next week could help reduce the number of young people taking up the habit. £3 million funding will support a new team targeting rogue retailers. it will be led by trading standards to carry out more test purchases in stores, to expose those failing to carry out age verification customers. authorities will also have increased powers to remove illegal devices from sale. while welcoming the action, some charities questioned whether the new measures go far enough. it is questioned whether the new measures 90 far enough-— go far enough. it is about making these products _ go far enough. it is about making these products less _ go far enough. it is about making these products less affordable i go far enough. it is about making l these products less affordable and less appealing to children. they are available for pocket money prices on

every street corner, for under a fiver. this announcement on vaping as part of a broader announcement by the government, reinforcing its commitment to achieve a smoke—free 2030. but at the moment, it is ten years off—track and that is where we really need to see far more action. current nhs guidance suggests that while not risk—free, vapes can be a helpful tool for adults wanting to quit smoking, and a less viable alternative to traditional cigarettes. it is hoped these measures will help deter young people from taking up vaping. the long—term health implications of which remain unknown. victoria born, bbc news. —— bourne. people visiting eryri national park in wales, also known as snowdonia, who park their vehicles on the side of the road have come back to see them being towed away this weekend. so far around 40 cars have been removed after being found parked dangerously on narrow routes, preventing access for emergency vehicles.

the light for picasso was really important. it was the first thing he remembered. we're planning ahead with a guide to the 2024 paris 0lympics. if i had an advice to give to travellers, it would be to book really early. and we're in glasgow, telling the spicy story behind the uk's favourite takeaway meal. mm, that's got some kick to it. southern spain and the costa del sol in particular has been a package holiday hotspot since the late 1960s. but more recently, one particular city there,

malaga, has been on a mission to shed the sun, sea and sand image and go for something maybe a bit more upmarket. post—pandemic, one of the hot topics in travel is cultural tourism. and what really helps is if you have a famous artist who hails from your area, someone who can be a focal point. and here in malaga, they got one, a poster boy, a figurehead, one of the great masters of art history — this guy. pablo picasso was a complicated, colourful, and controversial character, but he was also prolific and today pure box office for the so—called high value culture vulture market that malaga is keen to attract. born here in 1881, picasso actually only lived in malaga until he was ten, but 50 years on, from his death, the city is making the most of its illustrious local boy. there's postcards,

fridge magnets, bags, and even language courses. picasso's influence is everywhere. but the main event is the museo picasso malaga. founded 20 years ago, it has over 300 works from across his life, housed in what was previously a 15th century palace. picasso's works are now some of the most valuable in the world, with paintings like this one sold at sotheby�*s in 2018 for around $69 million.

many of the paintings and sculptures in the gallery were donated by his children at picasso's request. three different visions of doves. doves were used by picasso as symbols of peace, and his image of a dove would be adopted as an emblem of world harmony. he lived through some of the most turbulent events in modern history, including the spanish civil war and two world wars. these would be a profound influence on his work, perhaps most famously illustrated in guernica, a dramatic painting depicting the horror of the bombing of the spanish town by fascist

forces during the civil war in the 1930s. but here in malaga, they insist his childhood years also had a huge bearing on his lifetime's work. a short walk from the gallery is picasso's birthplace, which has also become a museum. obviously, the most important influence of picasso in his early years was his own father, because the father was an art teacher. and he spotted talent. oh, yes, he realised very soon that this son had a gift. picasso's father basically painted doves.

he actually had dove loft where he was working. this fascination would transfer from father to son. from here he could see the big square of la merced full of pigeons and doves. and it's a place where he was playing and where he was growing up. doves are a big symbol throughout picasso's career. oh, yes. and also the name of his youngest daughter. paloma means doves in spanish. the light for picasso was really important. it was the first thing he remembered from malaga. and, actually, malaga has more than 300 days of sun a year. 300 days. no wonder is a popular tourist destination. oh, yes. yeah. and ten minutes walk from his birthplace is an arena that arguably influenced picasso the most — the malaga bullring. he would come here with his father every weekend and it would inspire his first known artwork, aged eight — an oil painting on wood which captures the colour

of the bull fight. what the bull represents in picasso's work is widely debated by critics, some saying it stands for power and masculinity, others cruelty, brutality, and suffering. bull—fighting, very strong part of southern spain, spanish culture, yeah? yes, very strong. today, bull—fighting still goes on in malaga, although it's widely criticised by many people, both here and abroad, for its cruelty, with increasing calls for it to be banned. but there's no doubt the bull was an enduring legacy of southern spain throughout picasso's artistic career, no matter how controversial it's now become. at points, while being in malaga, it feels like the whole city has been an inspiration to picasso. even the sunsets. el pimpi is one of the most famous wine bars in malaga, and it revels in the

great artist's legacy. this room, it's called the picasso room. did picasso ever come here? no. despite this, uh, minor detail, it hasn't stopped the bar from capitalising on picasso's brand. wow. so, in 2003, in april, she came here? and maybe the myths, legends and vague associations are becoming as much part of picasso's appeal as the real facts. you can see the influence of the city on his art. it's very diverse and there's a lot going on. there's a lot left up to interpretation, but still, if you look at everything,

you can find meaning when you put it all together. 50 years after his death, picasso's legacy and influence on modern art is still as strong as ever. despite all of the efforts going on here in malaga, this part of spain will long remain heavily reliant on the traditional sun and sea package holiday market. but if you fancy a bit of culture away from the karaoke bars and sun loungers, then you're just the kind of tourist that'll be very welcome right here. and if you're thinking about visiting southern spain any time soon, here are some highlights. these days, the caminito del rey gorge walk is a much easier day trip from malaga than it used to be. a new extension to the c2 train route means it will now take you less than an hour and costs only 7.20 euros to get there. the eight kilometre walk through the gaitanes gorge used to be considered one of the most dangerous in the world but modern improvements and a refurb have made it much less scary.

although probably still not a great idea if you aren't keen on heights. seville's enormous april fair takes place every spring where you can expect flamenco, horse riding and generalfun from midday until late into the evening. it's one of the biggest events in the andalusian calendar. 0ur tip — try and get into one of the casetas, the striped tents belonging to private families, clubs and societies. that is where some of the real partying happens. and some of the biggest ones allow members of the public in forfree. paella is one of the best known dishes in spanish cuisine, and it originated in valencia. it's usually cooked in a large, shallow pan called a paellera, which clearly inspired the name of the dish. and there are many varieties of paella, but research carried out in 2022 at the universidad catolica de valencia, encouraged by a local chef, says there are only ten permitted ingredients and those don't include fish or shellfish ever.

and don't forget, summer in the southern regions of spain can be extremely hot. however, cooler temperatures in the summer can be found in coastal areas or in the sierra nevada mountain range, which can be ten degrees celsius lower than the closest city of granada. but still bring your sun cream. right, lots more still to come on the show, including ideas on where to stay for next year's paris 0lympics. and the spicy takeaway that's blown traditional fish and chips out of the water in the uk. glasgow is curry and curry is glasgow. so don't go away. i'm on the cultural tourist trail in malaga and discovering

more about this many layered ancient city with tour guide isabel. what i can see is how rich and diverse the culture is here. oh, yeah. malaga is one of the oldest cities of the western world. i got a sample here in 100m. we have a roman theatre of the first century, fortress palace of the 11th century, and the customs that nowadays is an archaeological museum from the 18th century. so here we have the best. just within 100 yards. 50 yards. wow. many of these architectural jewels were built over by each successive generation. the cathedral was constructed on the site of a mosque in the 15th century, and a roman amphitheatre was only fully revealed when they recently knocked down a 19505 building. but the key to malaga's civilisation and wealth is its proximity to the mediterranean. the city's name is said to come from the phoenician word malak,

which means salt, as malaga was where fish were preserved. we export it from here to all over the known world, all kinds of products. in muslim times, the ceramic from malaga was very well known. they also exported silks, raisins, figs and leather across the mediterranean, even as far as china. so all the different civilisations left layers in our personality. and that essentially is malaga today, shaped by century upon century of diverse influence. up next, simon's looking ahead to 2024. hello from paris, capital of the country that attracts more international visitors than any other and host city for the 2024 olympic and paralympic games. sales for tickets for

the events are already under way and those lucky spectators now face the prospect of booking travel at a busy and expensive time. we're here to help. first, though, in florida, the rail line linking miami, fort lauderdale and west palm beach is due to be extended to orlando international airport later this year. the company responsible, brightline, is testing trains running at 110 miles an hour and claims it'll be a cleaner way to travel, using a mix of greener fuel, solar power and an offsetting scheme in an effort to be carbon neutral. normally, injuly and august, paris empties with the citizens escaping to the beaches, the countryside and the mountains. in summer 2024, though, paris will come alive as host city for the 33rd

olympic games. from previous experience, i know that hotel rates will soar ahead of the expected large number of visitors. could one option be staying outside the city and travelling in each day using the excellent rail network? claire rodineau is travel editor for le figaro, based here in paris. what will the city be like? will it be very expensive? will it be very crowded? yeah, i guess both of that. so, if i had an advice to give to travellers, it would be to book really early from now on, if they can, because some people bought their tickets this week so they can already rent theirflats on airbnb or on other french platforms and if they can book today, let's do it. i've been doing my own research to find the perfect place outside paris to stay, based on transport times, availability of accommodation

and how much there is to do there, and i've come up with four ideal locations. compiegne, fontainebleau, chartres, and vernon, which is very close to monet's garden at giverny. what do you think of those? these are good options. for example, in chartres, you have the cathedral. in compiegne, there is the memorial of the first world war. but to my mind, if you want to be at the centre of the action, you should stay closer to paris. for example, there is chantilly, which is only 25 minutes by train from paris, and which also has a castle, a park, where you can learn to cook the famous creme chantilly, and it's closer than competition, for example. following our feature on european rail travel last month, it's clear that many of you are organising your own adventures by train. mike and kate got in touch to say:

well, i'm also planning a trip using the unlimited travel pass, and let me begin by saying where i won't be going. france, spain and italy are off my list for making the most of interrail. all three have fabulous trains but for expresses, you need to pay a supplement and book ahead. in my opinion, that defeats the purpose, which neatly leaves austria, germany and, in particular, switzerland, where tickets are positively alpine in their prices. and the railjourneys are spectacular — especially the glacier express across the mountains. that's all for now from here in paris. but do get in touch. send us your travel problems and i'll do my best to find a solution. goodbye. now, finally this week, we're off to the kitchens of

scotland. now, back in the day, uk cuisine had a pretty iffy reputation around the world. many visitors still stare into their soggy and beige fish and chips dinners with disappointment. but did you know that fish and chips isn't even the uk's national dish? because back in the 19705, a newcomer arrived with zingy flavours and wild colours. we sent william lee adams on a culinary quest to glasgow. i'm a vietnamese—american from georgia, in america's deep south, so i grew up eating spicy noodle dishes, fried chicken swimming in tabasco sauce and chili with plenty of chillies. but since moving to the uk, i've always found british food a little bland, so i've travelled to scotland's biggest city, where i've heard the food has a bit more kick. glasgow is often voted the world's friendliest city and locals pride themselves on their good cheer, good humour and chattiness.

it's one reason that generations of immigrants from all over the world have decided to call glasgow home. and it's here where britain's most popular dish was born, and it is not fish and chips. this is chicken tikka masala. it's boneless chunks of chicken marinated in a sauce of tomato and cream, and it has this fantastic orange colour because of the spice mix. you can get the dish all over the city but according to local legend, the original chicken tikka masala was created here at the shi5h mahal restaurant in the 19705. every day, the chef marinade5 30 kilograms of chicken and roa5t5 up to 400 5kewer5 in his tandoor. this is our secret 5auce. you can taste it. all right, here we go.

mmm! that's got some kick to it! have you ever told anyone outside of the restaurant what's inside? no. well, he's 5taying tight—lipped, so i head over to the dining room to meet with ali asif. this is my dad. asif�*s father 5adly passed away in december, but his legacy lives on through the family restaurant where, in the early 19705, he's reputed to have created the world's first tikka masala. it all started when a grumpy bus driver complained that his chicken was too dry. asif�*s dad needed a quick fix, so he grabbed a can of tomato soup that he'd already opened. dad put the tomato soup into the curry, heated it up and served it, and the customer loved it. and the customer asked, "what is this called?" "tikka masala," because it's the most generic name you could find. so these days, you can get tikka masala a5 a pizza topping, frozen at the grocery store as a takeaway. what do you make of everyone

copying your dad's recipe? he said people enjoying food is more important than where it came from or who invented it. he used to say he was born in pakistan but he was made in glasgow. like any legendary dish, the origins of the chicken tikka masala are disputed, but asif�*s dad remains a local hero anyway. he was part of a wave of people from pakistan, india and current day bangladesh who came to scotland in the 19505 when the uk faced a labour shortage. but rather than returning to their home country after five years, as was so often the plan, many families decided to stay. and today, more than 60,000 people of south asian descent live here and in the surrounding area. we're off to meet the comedian sanjeev kohli at one of his favourite spots in the city. sanjeev, i hope you don't mind, i took the liberty of getting a little snack — the paper dosa. 0h, 0k! not so little, but, like, i should wear this.

it looks like a flotation device. it does! you could probably get into that! scotland in the winter — it's a bit like finland. you need your comfort food. it's freezing, it's been dark for seven hours, sushi ain't going to cut it. it's got to be comfort food. and the thing about indian food is comforting — like a big, fluffy naan bread, like a pillow, you know what i mean? it's just all there — all the salt, all the fat, all the stuff. indian food is the most popular food in scotland. anywhere you see fish and chips, you can see curry. that's how integrated, certainly, the cuisine is. and i've always thought that the cuisine, the story of the cuisine reflects the story of of the people, if you know what i mean. glasgow is curry and curry is glasgow. sadly, that's all we've got time for on this week's programme butjoin us next week, when we're looking back at some of the favourite stories so far this year on the show — from swimming with friendly jellyfish in the philippines... that way, i think.

..to trying to navigate the world's biggest medina in morocco without getting lost. i think that is actually a blind alley. i'm not going to do that. until then, you can find us on the bbc iplayer and on social media, too. we're in all the usual places, along with other great travel content from around the bbc. right, i'm now off to calm those hunger pangs and maybe get some tapas. but until next time from me, rajan datar, and the rest of the travel show team here in malaga, thanks for watching and goodbye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with sarah campbell and roger johnson. 0ur headlines today: fresh warnings about patient safety — the health secretary accuses the doctor's union of taking a "militant stance" as junior doctors in england prepare to go on strike this week. hundreds of palestinians have barricaded themselves inside al aqsa mosque injerusalem. enforcement squads to crack down on illegal sales of vapes — the government says it will make it more difficult for e—cigarettes to be sold to children in england. more bad weather at the masters means it could be an epic final day. torrential rain means the third round is yet to be completed, with america's brooks koepka still leading the way at augusta. and we hear about a project that's helping bridge generations.

service, as simonjones reports. chanting: one, two, three four! we can't take it any more! junior doctors in england are set to walk out again on tuesday. that's straight after the easter holiday bank weekend, when many staff are on leave, and those four days of action will lead into next weekend, meaning the nhs is facing ten days of reduced services. in a statement, the national medical director of nhs england, professor sir stephen power, said: the nhs confederation, which represents hospital managers, is warning that up to a quarter of a million appointments and operations may have to be postponed if the strike action goes ahead, and professor sir stephen is warning the ongoing impact

of industrial action is making it more difficult to keep key services going, and ultimately reschedule those cancelled appointments. the nhs says it will continue to prioritise emergency and neonatal care, as well as maternity and trauma services. but nhs providers, which speaks for hospital trusts, is warning that even in those areas, there are real concerns of an increased risk to safety. this strike is long in duration and falls at a critical time during the holiday season, where securing alternative cover is proving challenging for trusts. so they are deeply concerned. it's not too late for unions and government to come to the table to open negotiations and to avert this action next week. in the british medical association, which represents junior doctors, is calling for a 35% pay rise to compensate for what it says is more

than a decade of salary erosion. but the department of health says it will only agree to talks to try to settle the dispute if the bma calls off the strike and significantly reduces its pay demands. the two sides appear as far apart as ever. simon jones, bbc news. more than! in 10 teachers has been physically assaulted by a pupil in the last year, according to a new survey. more than 8,000 staff members told the teaching union, the nasuwt, that they had been kicked, bitten, punched and slapped. the government has said that it's taking action to improve pupil behaviour, including funding a £10 million programme called behaviour hubs. the scottish conservative leader — douglas ross — has urged supporters to vote labour at the next election in seats where the party could beat the snp. speaking to the sunday telegraph, he says the election will be an opportunity for parties that believe in the uk to loosen the snp's grip on the country. but a conservative spokesperson said tactical voting was not the party's policy.

pope francis is holding easter sunday mass in st peter's square today, just days after being a tense stand—off is continuing injerusalem, where hundreds of palestinians have barricaded themselves inside the al aqsa mosque. the hilltop complex is the third holiest site in islam, and forjews the holiest site injudaism. earlier this week, israeli police raided the mosque after palestinians barricaded themselves inside, after the evening ramadan prayer. jordan, which manages the religious complex, has warned of catastrophic consequences if police enter the mosque again. 0ur middle east correspondent, yolande knell is injerusalem. meanwhile, two british—israeli sisters killed in a shooting incident in the occupied west bank on friday have been named as rina and maia dee. their father has told the bbc they were "beautiful and wonderful." the young women were shot while driving in thejordan valley with their mother, who is critically ill in hospital. israeli police are still searching

for those responsible. it is easter sunday, of course. heavy easter. pope francis is holding easter sunday mass in st peter's square today, just days after being hospitalised with bronchitis. 0ur religion editor aleem maqbool is there this morning. what can we expect from today's service? i suppose all eyes will be 0llie pope, and his they certainly will be, yes. pope, and his they certainly will be, es. ., pope, and his they certainly will be, es. . , ., ., , be, yes. there are tens of thousands of --eole be, yes. there are tens of thousands of people expected _ be, yes. there are tens of thousands of people expected in _ be, yes. there are tens of thousands of people expected in this _ be, yes. there are tens of thousands of people expected in this square. i of people expected in this square. they have just opened up the entry points around the square and people are rushing into try to get a position inside and around saint peter's bus silica. —— saint peter's basilica. 8000 people will be inside, and many more outside. all those people, who have come from around the world, as they do every easter, would not have known even a matter of days ago weather or not the pope would have been well enough to take part in the services today. but actually, all through this holy week, of course, the busiest time in

the vatican calendar, but actually, since pope francis came out of hospitaljust since pope francis came out of hospital just over since pope francis came out of hospitaljust over a week ago, after a bout of bronchitis, he has actually fulfilled all of his commitments, for the most part, during the week. he celebrated mass on palm sunday, and then he made his week the audience on wednesday, he conducted mass on thursday, on maundy thursday, and on good friday as well. he did, for the first time since he became pope in 2013, for the first time he missed one event, which was a ceremony at the coliseum that marks the stations of the cross on good friday evening. which of course marks the final hours in the life ofjesus. the vatican said that was because it was cold. they fully expect him to take mass here on easter sunday in a few hours time, and then appear on the balcony to

bless the crowds.— and then appear on the balcony to bless the crowds. aleem maqbool in rome, bless the crowds. aleem maqbool in rome. thank — bless the crowds. aleem maqbool in rome, thank you. _ people visiting eryri national park in wales, also known as snowdonia, who park their vehicles on the side of the road have come back to see them being towed away this weekend. so far, around 40 cars have been removed after being found parked dangerously on narrow routes, preventing access for emergency vehicles. sion pennar reports. the bank holiday weekend, and another car towed away. the roads in the heart of llyn 0gwen, in the heart of eryri, also known as snowdonia, have been a hotspot of police activity. this road was closed for a period of time on friday, as 29 cars that were parked dangerously and irresponsibly, according to police, were towed away on trucks. a further nine vehicles were moved from another part of the national park. this ambulance had to weave its way past parked cars on these narrow mountain roads. ensuring access for emergency

vehicles is one of the reasons why north wales police are taking action. they say that cars parked on double yellow lines, on the clearway, or causing an obstruction will be removed at their own expense. visitors are being encouraged instead to make full use of park—and—ride facilities like this one in nant peris. but are they finding it easy to park in this area? to be honest, i wish there was a bit more, because we did drive around for about an hour and a half now looking for parking. it's just hot and warm and you just want to find somewhere to pull up and get out, it wasjust very long. i think you could come here and not get a parking space, _ depending on the time, but we came very early| so we were lucky. busy here today, very busy. nice to have it. local taxi driver paul said the situation was easing, and that problems like this only occur occasionally. something needs to be done at bank holidays, more policing, probably.

move people on, send them to the parking places, let them know there are park—and—rides. plenty of taxis, plenty of buses. as the easter weekend and the good weather roll on, motorists are being urged to park responsibly here in eryri, otherwise the tow trucks may have a bit more work to do. sion pennar, bbc news, eryri national park. an italian artist has created a giant portrait of pablo picasso using a tractor to mark the 50th anniversary of the spanish painter�*s death. land artist dario gambarin said he was inspired by picasso's1907 self—portrait to create what he says is the largest portrait of the spanish artist in the world, on wasteland in verona. a very talented tractor driver as well, obviously. it

grey, rather misty and murky at the moment. fingers crossed that breaks up, a bit more of a breeze. the best of the sunshine out to the west so far, and that is where we are likely to see the warmest of the weather before the rain arrives into northern ireland before the end of the afternoon. areas like the south—east of england, parts of wales, north—western england could see temperatures at 17 or maybe 18, and if that happens, warmest day of the year so far. but the story is changing, as we see some rain pushing out of northern ireland into scotland overnight tonight, a blanket of cloud moving its way across england and wales, the outbreaks of rain moving east as well. that is going to prevent those temperatures from falling too far, so it will be a relatively mild start to easter monday, unfortunately it could be rather grey and wet. and even more, once the rain eases away, a fresh westerly wind with the centre of the lowjust here will be driving plenty of showers around that low. some of these quite heavy, maybe with some hail and thunder mixed in. so you mightjust have to dodge the showers

if you are out and about tomorrow, and those temperatures are not going to be quite as promising, 8— 14 celsius the high. this marks the change for the rest of the week, in actual fact. change for the rest of the week, in actualfact. plenty change for the rest of the week, in actual fact. plenty of isobars on the chart as we move out of monday and tuesday, another frontal system pushing in from the south—west eventually. tuesday morning will actually be quite nice, with some sunshine, quickly clouding overfrom the south—west as the rain moves through and some of that rain could really be quite intense by the end of the day, across the whole of south—west england, pushing into the midlands, across wales, north—west england and northern ireland, and here, those temperatures around 10-12. that here, those temperatures around 10—12. that area of low pressure has to move away but it isn't moving very far. we are really under the influence of low pressure as we move through the week ahead. so showers or longer spells of rain, at times, the winds could be quite strong, and as a result, the temperatures down on where they should be at this time of year. back to you two.— of year. back to you two. thanks,

louise. plans to make it more difficult for children to illegally purchase e—cigarette in england will be laid out by the government next week. an enforcement squad will be set up, clamping down on shops selling vapes to under—18s. victoria bourne has this report. with their sweet flavours and brightly coloured packaging, there has long been concern that e—cigarettes and vapes are becoming increasingly attractive to youngsters. and despite it being illegal, government data shows nearly 10% of all under—18s in england have either tried or are regularly using the devices. but there are hopes a range of new measures set to be announced by the department of health next week could help reduce the number of young people taking up the habit. £3 million funding will support a new team targeting rogue retailers. it will be led by trading standards to carry out more test purchases in stores, to expose those failing to carry out age verification with customers. authorities will also have increased powers to remove illegal devices from sale.

while welcoming the action, some charities questioned whether the new measures go far enough. it's about making these products less affordable and less appealing to children. they are available for pocket money prices on every street corner, for under a fiver. this announcement on vaping is part of a broader announcement by the government, reinforcing its commitment to achieve a smoke—free 2030. but at the moment, it is ten years off—track and that is where we really need to see far more action. current nhs guidance suggests that while not risk—free, vapes can be a helpful tool for adults wanting to quit smoking, and a less harmful alternative to traditional cigarettes. it's hoped these measures will help deter young people from taking up vaping, the long—term health implications of which remain unknown. victoria bourne, bbc news.

we'rejoined now byjohn dunne, from the uk vaping association. good from the uk vaping association. morning to you, t your good morning to you, thank you for your time. what do you think of this proposalfor your time. what do you think of this proposal for this your time. what do you think of this proposalfor this task your time. what do you think of this proposal for this task force? 0verall proposal for this task force? overall we think it is a good idea and it is something the ukri ba has been lobbying forfor and it is something the ukri ba has been lobbying for for many years. but i think it doesn't quite go far enough and we need to have to see what the details are. the battery has been calling for increased fines on retailers, on top of the maximum £2500 up to £10,000 per instance. we have also been calling for the lessons of vape retailers, and part of that needs to include robust age verification it is nice to see the government is now taking up our call to have a national testing programme. is to have a national testing programme-— to have a national testing programme. to have a national testing rouramme. , ., .«r , ., to have a national testing rouramme. , ., programme. is now taking up our call to have a national _ programme. is now taking up our call to have a national testing _ to have a national testing programme. isn't part of the problem here that these vapes are so easily

available? right in front of the counter when the kids are paying for their sweets, often side—by—side, they are easy, attractive and colourful for them to just pick up. first, we need to understand that while teenage trials are baby products have increased the amount of young people that hadn't previously spoke to were vaping is still relatively low at around 1.7%. what we have got to do is strike a balance between making the products available for adult smokers looking to create and restricting access to young people getting these products. and also finding some way of young people just throwing them on the ground when they are using them. how much of an issue — it is for many people — they see the lettering — is there enough being done to recycle them? . , . there enough being done to recycle them? , . , , , them? the recycling industry is t in: to them? the recycling industry is trying to catch _ them? the recycling industry is trying to catch up _ them? the recycling industry is trying to catch up with - them? the recycling industry is trying to catch up with the i trying to catch up with the popularity of these devices and it is something we have been looking at

closely. we have held a number of summits, we brought the stakeholders together to look at practical solutions. 0ne together to look at practical solutions. one thing the government could possibly look at and it kind of helps with the youth access as well as increasing the tank sizes from the current maximum of two millilitres to maybe ten millilitres. that would take about five of these devices for every user out of the system. we think that is a practical step forward. buti a practical step forward. but i su ose a practical step forward. but i suppose also _ a practical step forward. but i suppose also encourages i a practical step forward. but i suppose also encourages young people who get a hold of them to puff on them or if there is more in the tank, they will consume more of it? dominique goes back to the point made by deborah earlier that it makes the product was affordable for young people and the larger the device the more costly, so it helps in both ways. in terms of the colours and the flavours, is there something that you as an organisation can do to make them less appealing to young people? we make them less appealing to young --eole? ~ ., , make them less appealing to young ..eole? . ., , make them less appealing to young --eole? ~ ., , . make them less appealing to young n-eole? . . , . . people? we have been looking at that and we have — people? we have been looking at that and we have our— people? we have been looking at that

million poultry being killed because of avian flu. i always related to portimao, we saw those terrible pictures and realised how serious was, we don't have the pictures the time but as far as the wild bird in the wild birds being reared, it is just as serious. avian flu can pass to humans, and we have been told they were tackling the problem. this team in somerset is leading the way. that was dickon hooper reporting. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and sarah campbell. as we've been hearing this morning, the national medical director of nhs england is warning that next week's four—day strike byjunior doctors will cause "unparalleled levels of disruption" to the health service. professor sir stephen powis has said he's very concerned about the potential impact on patients and services. hejoins us now. good morning to you, sir stephen. argue forjoining us. your initial

services are there. if there are life—threatening conditions, continue to call 999 or go to a&e, but for other conditions, please do use our services wisely. use other ports of call such as 111, online your community pharmacy. flan ports of call such as 111, online your community pharmacy. can you uive an your community pharmacy. can you give any sense _ your community pharmacy. can you give any sense as _ your community pharmacy. can you give any sense as to _ your community pharmacy. can you give any sense as to this _ your community pharmacy. can you give any sense as to this which - give any sense as to this which services in particular are likely to be most affected by this? is it most concentrated in certain areas? ituniellll. concentrated in certain areas? well, it will be our— concentrated in certain areas? well, it will be our routine _ concentrated in certain areas? well, it will be our routine care _ it will be our routine care services. but as outpatient services, our routine procedures, and operations. clearly, what we are intent on keeping going and making sure that those services are safe are our critical services, our emergency services, oura&e departments, our intensive care units, maternity units, which i mentioned already. it is that routine care that will be disrupted, and i am absolutely certain that we will see significant disruption. you have talked _ will see significant disruption. you have talked about the safety of

patients being paramount. are you able to guarantee that safety? welcome services will be fragile this week. it is our aim to do everything we can to keep patients safe. the bma have said publicly they wish to do that as well. we will be speaking on an operational basis to be bma during the course of the industrial action, and if we do feel that a particular service is becoming unsafe, we will have no hesitation with having that conversation to the bma, as i am sure they would expect us to have, to see weather there is a case for having to bring urgent doctors back in those circumstances. as i say, consultants are stepping in, and are therefore our plan is to ensure that we keep services going. this dispute has obviously _ we keep services going. this dispute has obviously been _ we keep services going. this dispute has obviously been ongoing - we keep services going. this dispute has obviously been ongoing for- we keep services going. this dispute has obviously been ongoing for quite a while. the bma are calling for a 35% pay rise for their members. the government say they want that number to be reduced before talks can even begin. it is a stalemate at the

moment. can you see an end to this? how is it going to be resolved? well, i want to remain hopeful. we have had industrial action this winter by nurses, by ambulance workers, and by the unions representing those staff, they have managed to get into the room with the government. they have come to an agreement that the majority of inaudible recommend to the start. so it is possible to make progress. consultants also have some concerns but they wish addressed, one of those, for instance, pensions, which are affecting our senior staff, which was addressed in the recent budget. so it is possible to make progress. but of course everybody wants people back around the negotiating table to resolve these issues. ., . , ., issues. you have lived the life, you have been — issues. you have lived the life, you have been a _ issues. you have lived the life, you have been a junior _ issues. you have lived the life, you have been a junior doctor. - issues. you have lived the life, you have been a junior doctor. do - issues. you have lived the life, you have been a junior doctor. do you | have been a junior doctor. do you have been a junior doctor. do you have some sympathy with that position? have some sympathy with that osition? ., ., , ., ~ position? junior doctors work incredibly _ position? junior doctors work incredibly hard, _ position? junior doctors work incredibly hard, and - position? junior doctors work incredibly hard, and always l position? junior doctors work i incredibly hard, and always have done. they are a valued part of our workforce. i absolutely remember the days when i was a junior doctor. so i think everybody values the work of

since returning from injury sealed a 1—0 win, but worrying news with marcus rashford here appearing to pick up an injury at the end. that is a risk, when you have to play so many games at short notice. especially when the schedule is this tight, players can't recover. so you run the risk that players get injured. and also, we all have to be aware of that. a big win for bournemouth, as the misery continues for leicester. philip billing scored the only goal in their 1—0 victory. bournemouth now 3 points clear of the relegation zone. leicester are second from bottom, only two points from safety, so still all to play for. three more wins should be enough for celtic to secure another scottish premiership title. they are 12 points clear of second placed rangers after beating them 3—2 in the old firm derby. kyogo furuhashi scoring twice in a 3—2 victory at celtic park. and with seven games to go and a vastly superior goal difference the title

should be theirs again. have you got a trophy with you, no stop look, i get it. we are in a great position. i keep saying, why waste a game of football? you know, we've still got seven or eight to 90, we've still got seven or eight to go, seven, ithink, to go we've still got seven or eight to go, seven, i think, to go in the league. and the cup semi—final. some opportunities to produce some magic. and get some games of football. i'm not going to let anyone dismiss any of these games. exeter are through to the semi—finals of rugby union's champions cup, after beating stormers 140—17. tries from tom wyatt, jack nowell and olly woodburn gave exeter a 21—point lead at half—time, and the emphatic win was sealed with tom cairns going over late on. they play the winner of la rochelle or saracens who play later. in the other quarter—final, romain ntamack of toulouse produced this weaving run in the final couple of minutes against sharks to secure an emphatic 54—20 victory for the french side. they'll play leinster

in the semi—final. you are asking me a the newsroom about tiger woods as well. nine overs, so he did make the cut. the 23rd consecutive time he has made the cut at the masters, so that is a record. but he has been hobbling around, plenty of speculation about weather he will be able to play around and a half of golf, when you've got that undulating brutal course at augusta. a legend of the sport, but he knows that his time is limited, now, as well. it was pretty heartbreaking viewing, for golf and switching tiger woods trying to make his way, limping around that course yesterday. his way, limping around that course esterda . �* his way, limping around that course esterda .�* .. yesterday. always so watchable, ti . er yesterday. always so watchable, tiger woods. — yesterday. always so watchable, tiger woods, isn't _ yesterday. always so watchable, tiger woods, isn't it? _ yesterday. always so watchable, tiger woods, isn't it? yes, - yesterday. always so watchable, tiger woods, isn't it? yes, he i tiger woods, isn't it? yes, he alwa s tiger woods, isn't it? yes, he always has— tiger woods, isn't it? yes, he always has that _ tiger woods, isn't it? yes, he always has that magic - tiger woods, isn't it? yes, he always has that magic to - tiger woods, isn't it? yes, he always has that magic to him. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. you had some lovely daffodil pictures earlier, but was lovely for easter. now it has gone all misty! you know me, i like to paint the

glass half full. but there will be some winds and losers in today's story. at the moment, as you can see in aberdeenshire, misty and murky start. let's look at where we are winning, in devon. absolutely beautiful so far this morning. we will see lots of dry weather generally across the country today, but the rain is on its way, so you really need to get out and enjoy it, if you can. this is the rain bearing cloud, this beautiful swell moving in slowly from the atlantic. and i of that we have some cloud spilling in off the north sea, hands that misty and murky start across aberdeenshire. but with a slightly stronger strengthening southerly wind, that should hopefully break the cloud up. for most of us today, dry, settled and sunny, and because the wind direction is coming from the wind direction is coming from the south, it will be quite mild as well. rain will push into northern ireland by the afternoon, only 13 degrees here. but with the best of the sunshine, we might see 17 or possibly 18, and if we get 18 it

will be the warmest day of the year so far. but the changes on its way. it arrives through northern ireland this afternoon, across england and wales, a blanket of cloud with some outbreaks of rain through the night. it is going to be a milder start to easter monday, but unfortunately a grey and wet one, even once the frontal rain eases its way eastwards, a trail of showers were packing behind. here is the centre of the low. you can see the showers circulating around that low pressure, so that westerly wind feeding in some showers, some of them heavy, possibly even thundery, as we go through easter monday afternoon. so, it is going to be very hit and miss, i suspect, through monday. you might have to hedge your bets a bit, and that a story will continue for the remainder of the week. many kids still off school throughout that week, you can see the isobars squeezing together. the next front is waiting in the winds, that is going to bring outbreaks of rain which will turn quite heavy across the south—west and into wales as we

go through the day on tuesday. tuesday will start off dry and sunny, but isn't expected to last, as the train moves across from the south—west, and some of it is quite heavy. in behaviour bursts it is going to feel quite disappointing, only about 9— 11 degrees at best of time. —— in the heavier bursts. that is below par for this time of year. that trend will continue. the low pressure will keep moving steadily east, showers or longer spells of rain, and a bit cooler than it has been. back to you two. this bringing together the old and the new. that was the aim of a project in blackpool that wanted to get different generations talking. children from a youth club have been spending time with some of the older residents on the local estate, and it's proved a success with new friendships formed on both sides. ian haslam has more. # i need you love.

nice live, but, this tiny island nation faces its challenges. land is at a premium here and they need to import, well, pretty much everything. although it is brilliant to dip into the melting pot of different cuisines and cultures it is a reminder that 90% of singapore's food is grown and farmed elsewhere. singapore is a very small countries so you can imagine we don't have the same amount of land to grow any of the crops or animals that we need to feed ourselves. particularly when missy have food supply chains are being stressed, whether it is because of climate change, geopolitical considerations or pandemics. but being so small has advantages as well. singapore's government can make quick decisions, acting like a nibble start—up while bigger countries passed legislation as fast as super tankers change course. and so it's become the first country to approve the sale of lab—grown meat

and it is trying to become a global hotspot for alternative protein products. we also expected going forward many other locations in the world will encounter similar challenges as we do, so singapore, as far as a location when you technologies are developed, commercialised, scaled up into the region and globally to help other locations address their own food security issues. we think if we can be successful at that that represents notjust an opportunity for us to address our own needs, but really to address these large economic opportunities, in terms of creating good jobs for people who work in singapore and for businesses to thrive on serving the needs in the space. all of which means that tomorrow i am going to be tasting something very special, my first ever lab—grown meat chicken. yes, i'm going to be putting my mouth in the hands of an experienced chef. and

hopefully it is going to go a bit better than tonight. i actually have no idea whether this is really hot sauce or not. let's find out together, shall we? yes, really hot! laughs. but first, something to take the pain away. milk is a really complex liquid. it is full of facts and minerals, proteins, many of which are really good for us. one of the best is lactoferrin. we could all do with more of it in our diet. the fingers, it only really comes from animal milk, so it is really hard to make more of it to put another star. well, that is until now because these guys have worked out how to do it. this is lactopherin called pink gold because it is rare and expensive.

but, this company, total tree, is finding a way of mass—producing it, not from cows, and not even from ourselves. no, they are fermenting it using yeast. the process is pretty similar to r0ry— the process is pretty similar to rory so— the process is pretty similar to rory so there's a large fermentation tank that _ rory so there's a large fermentation tank that will be culturing the yeast— tank that will be culturing the yeast cells and each of those cells acts like _ yeast cells and each of those cells acts like a — yeast cells and each of those cells acts like a little factory, basically producing lactopherin. the secret is basically producing lactopherin. secret is the basically producing lactopherin. tye; secret is the yeast has basically producing lactopherin. tte; secret is the yeast has been genetically modified. total tree has taken the genes from chaldean are responsible for making lactopherin and transplanted them into the dna of yeast cells. find the right strain of yeast, brew it on the right conditions and you have something called precision fermentation, where the use producing far more of the protein then you can get from milk. {was then you can get from milk. cows milk has very _ then you can get from milk. cows milk has very little _ then you can get from milk. cows milk has very little lactopherin i milk has very little lactopherin entered in terms of concentration so you need something like 10,000 litres of cows milkjust to get one

kilogram of lactopherin. lactopherin is used in a variety of products presently. most of it goes into infant formula which is great because it increases the nutritional value of the infant formula, unfortunately only about 5% of infant formulas have lactopherin because it is so expensive and in such limited supply but the other issue with cows milk is lactopherin and other bioactive proteins in the cows milk i actually really sensitive to heat so the majority of them get broken down during pasteurisation, so even if you are drinking cows milk you aren't benefiting from things like getting lactopherin. when it launches its products at the end of the year total trees as the precision fermentation processions make the protein cheap and abundant enough to had to lots of products like sports drinks and of course barn based milk like both milk and almond milk. and all without the need for animals or the land for grazing and feeding them. now the

company has cracked lactopherin and start learning to work on other proteins that are normally found in milk which then could be added to other things that are not milk. there will be people, consumers, for whom this sounds unnatural. what would you say to them? even though it is not coming directly from cows milk it is actually the same protein, so what we are showing is that it is so similar and there is that it is so similar and there is so much experience with cows milk derived lactopherin that we are showing that the structurally is the same and functionally is the same, so we are going for a regulatory process called generally recognised as a because it is already in the food system. we are already consuming it. but if you want to make milk itself in the lab, that is a different process entirely, that would need to use animal cells themselves. something involved in the chicken that is waiting for me.

roast, stirfry or grill? how do you like yours? singapore's satay street is a smoky reminder of how much many of us are still love our meet. but, the meat industry is just not good for the environment. we use a lot of land to grow food for the animals, and they produce a lot of greenhouse gases. that is why we are looking at alternatives these days. there are plant—based meat substitutes but it is also possible to grow meetjust from animal cells. that is why i have come to this restaurant to have a very special meal, lab—grown meat chicken. prepared today for me by chefjoe. so for all intents and purposes this is chicken even though it didn't come from... is chicken even though it didn't come from. . .— is chicken even though it didn't come from... mckay slaughtered animal? it _ come from... mckay slaughtered animal? it is _ come from... mckay slaughtered animal? it is a _ come from... mckay slaughtered animal? it is a chicken. - come from... mckay slaughtered animal? it is a chicken. it - come from... mckay slaughtered animal? it is a chicken. it came l animal? it is a chicken. it came from the cell. it doesn't come out like a chicken breast covered in

very expensive to produce. making cultivated meat as affordable as normal meat doesn't guarantee that people will accept it. if you look across history for example humanity has embraced many foods that were unnatural to begin with, yoghurts really took off in 1900 because of the introduction of bacteria, now we know that yoghurt is seen in every corner of the world, every supermarket shop. i think about the same analogy for cultivated meat, right? the company that solves this basic factor, they would catalyse the industry, red wood two obviously that would be a natural consumer awareness jenny bott before long perhaps it would be something that we used to think or worry about. 0k, worry about. ok, but time has come, my lab—grown meat chicken skewers are ready. thank you. the anticipation is killing me. this is my first ever

checkers out on the socials. see you soon. this is bbc news. fresh warnings about patient safety. nhs england tells this programme this week'sjunior nhs england tells this programme this week's junior doctor strikes will cause unparalleled disruption. this is the unparalleled disruption coming after a bank holiday weekend so there is no doubt it is going to be the most disruptive period of industrial action in nhs history.

hundreds of palestinians have barricaded themselves inside a mosque injerusalem. just months to live but stuck in hospital. we hear how charlotte has been waiting to be discharged because of community care. i am stuck here and just fighting to get home and to keep going and i don't know how much fight i have left.— going and i don't know how much fight i have left. more bad weather at the masters. _ fight i have left. more bad weather at the masters. torrential - fight i have left. more bad weather at the masters. torrential rain i at the masters. torrential rain means a third round is yet to be completed. pa nto panto at easter. oh, yes, it is. sir ian mckellen treads the boards in

straight after the easter bank holiday weekend where many staff are on the eve and those four days of action will lead into next weekend meaning the nhs is facing ten days of reduced services. the longest period of industrial action we have seen this with year coming after a bank holiday weekend so there is no doubt it is going to be the most disruptive, perhaps even the most in nhs history. disruptive, perhaps even the most in nhs history-— nhs history. junior doctors are around have — nhs history. junior doctors are around have a _ nhs history. junior doctors are around have a workforce i nhs history. junior doctors are around have a workforce that l nhs history. junior doctors are | around have a workforce that is nhs history. junior doctors are i around have a workforce that is a significant number. the around have a workforce that is a significant number.— significant number. the nhs federation _ significant number. the nhs federation is _ significant number. the nhs federation is warning i significant number. the nhs federation is warning that i significant number. the nhs| federation is warning that up significant number. the nhs i federation is warning that up to a quarter of a million appointments and operations may have to be postponed if the strike action goes ahead and they are warning the ongoing impact of industrial action is making it more difficult to keep key services going and ultimately reschedule those cancelled appointments. the nhs says it will continue to prioritise emergency and

neonatal care as well as maternity and trauma services but nhs providers, which speaks for hospital trust, is worrying that, even in those areas, there are real concerns of an increased risk to safety. the strikers long _ of an increased risk to safety. the strikers long in _ of an increased risk to safety. the strikers long in duration and falls at a critical— strikers long in duration and falls at a critical time. inky securing cover— at a critical time. inky securing cover is— at a critical time. inky securing cover is a — at a critical time. inky securing cover is a problem for trust. it is not too — cover is a problem for trust. it is not too late _ cover is a problem for trust. it is not too late for unions and government to come to the table to open negotiations and avert this action— open negotiations and avert this action next week. the open negotiations and avert this action next week.— action next week. the british medical association - action next week. the british medical association is i action next week. the british medical association is calling action next week. the british i medical association is calling for 35% pay rise to compensate for what it describes as a decade of salary erosion by the department of health says it will only agree to talk to try to settle the dispute if the bma calls of the strike and significantly reduces its pay demand. the two sides appear as far apart as ever.

a tense stand—off is continuing injerusalem, where hundreds of palestinians have barricaded themselves inside the al aqsa mosque. the hilltop complex, is the third holiest site in islam, and for dues the holiest site injudaism. earlier this week, israeli police raided the mosque after palestinians barricaded themselves inside, after the evening ramadan prayer. jordan, which manages the religious complex, has warned of catastrophic consequences if police enter the mosque again. bring us up to date. what is the situation this morning.- bring us up to date. what is the situation this morning. from what we can see, situation this morning. from what we can see. there _ situation this morning. from what we can see, there are _ situation this morning. from what we can see, there are still _ situation this morning. from what we can see, there are still those - situation this morning. from what we can see, there are still those of i can see, there are still those of worshippers at the mosque but they are being kept awake by israeli

police from hundreds ofjewish visitors who they are escorting around the compound this morning. now, there have been concerns there could be a repetition of last week's violent scenes when israeli police stormed the mosque saying they were acting to stopped people who had barricaded themselves inside. that day also was head ofjewish visits to the site. now, of course, a reminderfor people that to the site. now, of course, a reminder for people that this is a deeply contested site. the mosque compound with its millennium old mask is the third holiest site in islam and is also the holiest place in judaism. islam and is also the holiest place injudaism. the holiest place where dues are allowed to pray is the western wall below and today we are expecting thousands of people to come to the western wall for a priestly blessing for passover and one of the causes of these high tensions is that you have these overlapping holidays. it isjust tensions is that you have these overlapping holidays. it is just the second time in three decades that

you have ramadan and pass over coming together like this and it is the easter holiday and that is bringing even more people into the old city. another reason why there is pressure to try to keep things come with easter sunday at the holy sepulchre church.— sepulchre church. thank you very much. meanwhile, two british—israeli sisters cold in a shooting incident in the occupied west bank on friday have been named as rina and maya dee. their father has told the bbc they were "beautiful and wonderful". the young women were shot while driving in thejordan valley with their mother, who is critically ill in hospital. israeli police are still searching for those responsible. more than one in ten teachers has been physically assaulted by a pupil in the last year, according to a new survey. more than 8000 staff members told the teaching union — the nasuwt — they had been kicked, bitten, punched and slapped. the government has said that it's taking action to improve pupil behaviour, including funding a ten million pound programme called behaviour hubs.

pope francis is holding easter sunday mass in st peter's square today, just days after being hospitalised with bronchitis. our religion editor aleem maqbool is there this morning. what can we expect from today's service? clearly, concerns over the pope's health. ., clearly, concerns over the pope's health. . . ., , ., health. yeah, there certainly have been because _ health. yeah, there certainly have been because it _ health. yeah, there certainly have been because it was _ health. yeah, there certainly have been because it was just - health. yeah, there certainly have been because it was just over i health. yeah, there certainly have been because it wasjust over a i health. yeah, there certainly have i been because it wasjust over a week been because it was just over a week ago that pope francis was in hospital with breathing difficulties and, ultimately, it was found that he had bronchitis. and so the reveal doubts, then, as to whether he would be able to take part in what is the busiest week in his calendar but since he has come out of hospital, he has presided over most of the major events. he led mass last sunday for palm sunday. he led mass on thursday and good friday and even the vigil last night. quite a long

vigil during the night in saint peter's basilica. he did miss one event which was an outdoor event on good friday which marks the stations of the crust commemorating the final hours in the life ofjesus but apparently that was because of the cold. but we do expect easter morning mass and just an hour's time and then he will present himself to the crowds on the balcony behind me to bless them. the crowds on the balcony behind me to bless them-— plans to make it more difficult for children to illegally buy e—cigarettes in england are to be laid out by the government next week. an 'enforcement squad' will be set up to clamp down on shops selling vapes to under—18s. victoria bourne reports. with their sweet flavours and brightly coloured packaging, there has long been concern that e—cigarettes and vapes are becoming increasingly attractive to youngsters. and despite it being illegal,

government day to showers nearly 10% of all under—18s in england have either tried or are regularly using the devices. but there are hopes a range of new measures set to be announced by the department of health next week could help reduce the number of young people taking up the habit. £3 million funding will support a new team targeting rogue retailers. it will be led by trading standards to carry out more test purchases in stores, to expose those failing to carry out age verification with customers. authorities will also have increased powers to remove illegal devices from sale. while welcoming the action, some charities questioned weather the new measures go far enough. it's about making these products less affordable and less appealing to children. they are available for pocket money prices on every street corner, for under a fiver. this announcement on vaping is part of a broader announcement by the government, reinforcing its commitment to achieve a smoke—free 2030.

but at the moment, it is ten years off—track and that is where we really need to see far more action. current nhs guidance suggests that while not risk—free, vapes can be a helpful tool for adults wanting to quit smoking, and a less harmful alternative to traditional cigarettes. it's hoped these measures will help deter young people from taking up vaping, the long—term health implications of which remain unknown. victoria bourne, bbc news. the last surviving prosecutor from the post—world war two nuremberg trials has died aged 103. ben ferencz was just 27 when he secured the convictions of 22 nazi officers for war crimes and crimes against humanity. he later advocated for the establishment of an international court to prosecute war crimes, a goal realised in 2002.

people visiting eryri park in wales, also known as snowdonia, who park their vehicles on the side so far around 40 cars have been removed after being found parked dangerously on narrow routes, preventing access for emergency vehicles. the bank holiday weekend, and another car towed away. the roads in the heart of llyn 0gwen, in the heart of eryri, also known as snowdonia, have been a hotspot of police activity. this road was closed for a period of time on friday, as 29 cars that were parked dangerously and irresponsibly, according to police, were towed away on trucks. a further nine vehicles were moved from another part of the national park. this ambulance had to weave its way past parked cars on these narrow mountain roads. ensuring access for emergency vehicles is one of the reasons why north wales police

are taking action. they say that cars parked on double yellow lines, on the clearway, or causing an obstruction will be removed at their own expense. visitors are being encouraged instead to make full use of park—and—ride facilities like this one in nant peris. but are they finding it easy to park in this area? to be honest, i wish there was a bit more, because we did drive around for about an hour and a half now looking for parking. it's just hot and warm and you just want to find somewhere to pull up and get out, it wasjust very long. i think you could come i here and not get a parking space, depending on the time, but we came very early - so we were lucky. busy here today, very busy. nice to have it. local taxi driver paul said the situation was easing, and that problems like this only occur occasionally. something needs to be done at bank holidays, more policing, probably. move people on, send them to the parking places, let them know there

are park—and—rides. plenty of taxis, plenty of buses. as the easter weekend and the good weather roll on, motorists are being urged to park responsibly here in eryri, otherwise the tow trucks may have a bit more work to do. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. louise, good morning to you. that is a very nice picture. beautifully rain. they are very artistic, some of our weather watchers. i've actually walked along this path. i've got a rain who lows down there and i know how beautiful it is. you can see the spring blossom. for many others, we will see a lot of spring sunshine and warmth. it could be the warmest day of the year so far but it is a little bit hit and mist at

the moment. you can see quite a lot of low cloud. a misty, murky start. that low cloud has been pushing on of the north sea and there is some rain on its way but it will take most of the day before it arrives. it is this area of low pressure weather front is going to spill into northern ireland and will bring out base in rain as we go into the afternoon but with a southerly wind ahead of it are starting to pick up ahead of it are starting to pick up a little, that should break up any cloud we have got elsewhere and it should allow for some decent spells of sunshine to come through and those temperatures on the with a southerly wind direction so we might see temperatures peaking at highs of 16 degrees. that means as we go through, the pollen for the west of the day, it is going to be pretty high in places. it is tree pollen at this time of year so a few are suffering out in the sunshine, that is worth bearing in mind. as we go through the evening, that rain will push steadily eastwards. there is

going to be quite a lot of cloud around the night tonight and that will prevent those temperatures falling to far but we have got that front clearing away early on monday and then a westerly or north—westerly will feed him plenty of showers so grey and wet start to easter monday. plenty of frequent showers rattling in behind. the centre of the lowjust here and some of the showers, by the middle part of the showers, by the middle part of easter monday afternoon could be heavy, possibly even thundery. they will be hit and mist so some of us will be hit and mist so some of us will stay relatively dry. temperatures a little bit more subduedin temperatures a little bit more subdued in comparison to today. highs of 12—15. northern ireland, scotland, more frequent and widespread showers as we go through the day as well. and then, once we move out of monday into tuesday, it is going to be one area of low pressure clearing away to be replaced by yet another so an unsettled week ahead for many. the kids are still off school and it does look likely it is going to be

showers or a longer spells of rain at times. the winds are likely to strengthen particular the tuesday into wednesday and there is the potential for us to see gale force gusts of wind and as a result, there is temperatures will be a little bit below par for the time of year so enjoy today's sunshine and warmth a few can. anyone teenagers and will be pleased to here that. with a very vested interest! is he on it? both of them, no. thanks, louise. bbc analysis has found that, over the past winter, one in every seven hospital beds in england was taken up by someone well enough to go home. one of those facing the wait is charlotte mills—murray, she may only have months to live, but is still in hospital five months after being cleared to go home. i'm stuck here, and just fighting to get home and to keep going.

and i don't know how much fight i have in me. charlotte has ehlers—danlos, a condition that weakens her connective tissue. she may only have months to live. she's been filming diaries from her hospital bed. i had visitors today. i always look forward to when i get some visitors. then what happens is the visitors leave and i am left alone again, and that's when the reality sinks in. charlotte, who often finds it easier to use sign language, was admitted last year with infections linked to intestinal failure. in november, she was told she could go home with care paid for by the nhs. yet another five months on, she is still stuck in hospital. how difficult has been for you, charlotte? it is so wrong but we are in the situation, you know, four, five month extra

in hospital that i don't need that actually increases my risk of infections and other illnesses as well. there has been a lot of tears, a lot of hard decisions. i don't think unless you are here you could really imagine life in a hospitalfor nine months. charlotte's case here in leeds is very complex and not representative of everyone who needs care, it does though illustrate a wider problem. this past winter, a record one and seven hospital beds across england has been taken up by someone well enough to go home. the government has said it is making another 1.6 billion pounds available to speed up hospital discharge in england. often the hold—up is because the right care in the home just isn't available. "mum, i don't know what i do without you. in leeds, charlotte's family said

they have faced repeated delays with staff, training, equipment. so much time has been wasted, we have gone around in circles because everybody has changed what they said they would do, and that i'm wasting is charlotte's live, we can't get that back and it shouldn't be like that. you know, it shouldn't be the person really poorly who has to do it. charlotte's care board and hospital have said they are sorry for the long delay, they said the vast majority of patients return home quickly but some are complex cases take longer. charlotte has now spent nearly a year in this hospital bed, missing her birthday at home and time with her family. when you have a lot of pain and illnesses and other health problems, and then you are stuck in a bed and you can't see yourfamily easily, and you can't do the normal things you just think, if i can go home it will be better. ijust need to get home and it will be fine. and all i want is for people to make

that have been for me. jim reed, bbc news. thanks to charlotte for speaking to us. we wish charlotte and her family all the best. we wish charlotte and her family all the best. joining us now is charles tallack from the health foundation. you had charlotte's story and sadly, it is a tale which is all too common. it is a tale which is all too common-— it is a tale which is all too common. , ., , it is a tale which is all too common. , . , ., common. yes. i mean, it is a terrible _ common. yes. i mean, it is a terrible story _ common. yes. i mean, it is a terrible story to _ common. yes. i mean, it is a terrible story to hear. - common. yes. i mean, it is a i terrible story to hear. charlotte's case is a very special one but as you said, there are one in seven people in hospital ready for discharge but they're not being discharged and that is bad for them, it causes them, you're more likely to get an infection in hospital, people suffer mobility lost and there is the psychological aspect of being away from family and friends and not being in your home

environment. so it is, you know, it is bad environment. so it is, you know, it is had all round for those patients. but it is also had for all other patients because, not the delays that we have been seeing over winter, over the last year, for example, in ambulances response times and people waiting in a&e but actually largely because of a shortage of beds in hospital so it is really important to free up those bed space for the patients in those beds and patients more generally. we have talked, notjust in time and time again but for years years about social care and the capacity and social care and the capacity and social care and the capacity and social care in order for people who are well enough to leave hospital to go either into a home or to be cared for at home. is it as simple as that now or is that more to it than that? so, i would say, social care is a problem. the investment in social care over the last decade or so has

not kept up with demand but i don't think social care is the only problem. in fact, think social care is the only problem. infact, i'm not sure think social care is the only problem. in fact, i'm not sure that it is responsible for the increase in delayed discharges that we have seen over the last year. it is a very complex problem. part of the issue as hospitals themselves are incredibly busy. and they're busy, staff have to spend their time firefighting rather than assessing patients and helping to arrange their care at home. and also, there is the wider issue about nhs services so charlotte was waiting for probably some nhs services, may be social care as well but nhs community services which are also struggling with shortages. the government _ struggling with shortages. the government has said it is fully committed to speeding up hospital discharges and has made 1.6 billion available in england over the next two years to help tackle the problem. just briefly, is that the kind of investment that might make a difference? the other work over the last few years there's been quite a lot of investment. this last few years there's been quite a lot of investment.— lot of investment. this kind of

audience singing but, similarly, we are also talking about a pantomime. we are on bbc news channel until 9am this morning. now we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. have the teaching union, the nasuwt, says its concerned that says it's concerned that assaults on staff are seen as "a normal part of teaching" in too many schools. a survey by the union, found that more than one in ten teachers have been physically assaulted by a pupil in the last year. the poll of more than 8,000 staff revealed a fifth have been subjected to pushing or shoving. and 19% said they have been threatened with violence. almost half of teachers don't feel their school's behaviour policy is dealing adequately with the issue. the government has said that it's taking action to improve pupil behaviour.

from the department on educational policies and because schools are penalised for exclusions, head teachers are reluctant to exclude pupils for violent behaviour and abusive behaviour because it is getting more and more common. so, you know, the figures would be skewed if they are excluding at the rate that these incidents occur. the department — rate that these incidents occur. the department for education spokesperson has said that no teacher should feel unsafe or face violence in the workplace. they say they are taking action. they have something called the behaviour hubs programme which links lead schools and trusts with the schools which may need help. is that enough? m0. may need help. is that enough? no, it's not enough- _ may need help. is that enough? iifr, it's not enough. and what we have seen with these behaviour hubs is very little filters down to those of us at the chalk face. i am a behaviour specialist, us at the chalk face. i am a behaviourspecialist, i us at the chalk face. i am a behaviour specialist, i work in alternative provision, so i deal with children who have been excluded. the support and the advice and guidance from these hubs simply
