breaking news from around the world is 2a hours a day, this is bbc news. but it will go up the mall, admiralty arch, down whitehall, the palace of westminster, parliament square and into westminster abbey. they will be inside this royal carriage. it is the diamond jubilee stagecoach. now, the reason this one is being used is because it will be more comfortable for the royal couple. it has air conditioning and also electric windows. now, one of the key moments of the ceremony will be when king charles is crowned. and this is the crown that will be used. it is the st edward's crown, and it weighs five pounds or over two kilos. finally, a sign that the coronation has moved into the modern era, as buckingham palace have released an official emoji to be

used on social media with the hashtag #coronation. nicky schiller reporting on that story for us. let's take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk. doctors' leaders have asked the government to enter talks to end their dispute over pay. thousands ofjunior doctors in england are halfway through a four—day strike. the prime minister said he wanted to find a reasonable compromise, and the right outcome, for patients and taxpayers. the scottish government is to mount a legal challenge to westminster�*s decision to block its controversial gender recognition reforms. holyrood's proposed legislation simplifies and speeds up the process for trans people to legally change their gender. the uk government says the reforms could affect the equality act and protection of women. a 74—year—old man has been extradited from pakistan and charged with the murder of pc sharon beshenivsky, who was

shot dead in bradford in 2005. piran ditta khan was arrested in pakistan in 2020. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. hi, my name is adam nathaniel furman. i'm an artist and designer and i'm here in london bridge station installing a 57—metre—long mosaic. so this is the super long mosaic that we're putting together at london bridge station, and it's made up of tens of thousands of beautiful handmade glass tesserae, which spread over the length of this wall which hundreds of thousands of commuters walk past every single day. hi, i'mjo, and i've been working with volunteers at the london school of mosaic to fabricate the mosaic, bring it to site and today have our moment of truth. a project like this, it's special because you get a real sense of depth of expression.

you get a nice mix of people coming together. a lot of things are very gray now. we can go back to what we used to do, like, a0 years ago and create really uplifting public spaces with beautiful art. you're live with bbc news. the us department of defence is continuing to deal with the consequences of one of the largest leaks of classified material in recent years. while the bulk of the leaked documents concern, in one way or another, the war in ukraine, there are others that touch on a huge range of other issues. many of them shed light on some of washington's global preoccupations, including the spread of chinese technology. 0ur diplomatic correspondent paul adams has more. the embarrassment for allies around the world is considerable. i mean, there's a set of documents that deal withjordan's highly commercially sensitive discussions about whether or not to keep huawei, the chinese—owned company,

out of their own 5g network. now, obviously, that's a bit of an american obsession. it's been an issue here in britain, too, and elsewhere. and there are references to a jordanian undertaking to washington to keep huawei out, but then thejordanians are anxious because the rival bids are much more expensive. so that's the kind of thing that... again, thejordanians will not be happy that this is being aired in public. and one can only imagine that the ukrainians, for whom the americans are their most important military backer, must be incandescent that some of this highly sensitive material is out there. the bbc�*s diplomatic correspondent paul items there. a bbc investigation has discovered that 40% of current premier league clubs have been sponsored by financial firms that have subsequently been banned by the british financial conduct authority, fined or

are under investigation. most of the companies were offering complex financial tools to ordinary people. but — as the world service investigation unit discovered — many were not playing by the rules. joe inwood has this report. a glossy promo for leeds united. the video was sponsored by an online financialfirm called fxvc. for more than a year, their branding was seen around elland road. it was an endorsement that gave people like phil and joyce the confidence to hand over tens of thousands of pounds. the fact that they sponsored leeds football club, i just took them as being a proper investment platform. the problem was that fxvc was running a scam. using pressure tactics and false promises to get clients to make trades they were always likely to lose. phil and joyce were soon told their money was frozen and they needed to put in more to unlock it.

i was watching it go down, down, down. we had lost £341,000 within seven days. so fxvc, as far as i'm concerned, were just a platform to con people into investment. there was no real investment there. within weeks, fxvc had been banned by the british financial conduct authority, but the money was gone. and this is just one example of a wider problem. a bbc investigation has found that 40% of premier league clubs have taken sponsorship money from firms like this that have subsequently been banned, fined or are being investigated. clarke carlisle is a former premier league footballer and chair of the footballers' union. he now campaigns on issues around mental health following his own well—publicised troubles. there is an unavoidable link between a supporter and their club and the companies that are affiliated with them. for an organisation to take

advantage of that with mistruths, they have to be stopped. in a statement, fxvc denied any wrongdoing. now, in fairness to leeds united, when they had a relationship with fxvc, they were a regulated company, but in cyprus. and leeds told us that as soon as they were banned by the fca, they cut all ties, which is basically the same thing that all the premier league clubs said. the truth is that this is bigger than leeds united. it is bigger even than football. it is about dodgy companies ripping off customers for millions, maybe even billions of pounds and using the beautiful game to legitimise an ugly industry. joe inwood, bbc news, leeds. fascinating report there. time now to take a look at some other stories we're following. a usjudge has sanctioned fox news as part of a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the network.

judge eric davis says he may also investigate whether the broadcaster withheld evidence in the case brought by dominion voting systems. the firm accuses fox of harming its reputation by airing unfounded allegations by donald trump's campaign team that its voting machines were used to rig the last presidential election. italian authorities are hunting for a bear that killed a 26—year—old jogger in the alps last week. the 17—year—old female bear was known as ”4 and identified through genetic testing. hundreds of mourners in the village of caldes turned out to pay their respects at andrea papi's funeral on wednesday. scientists who have completed an unprecedented study of cancer say they don't think a cure will be found any time soon. the researchers who tracked lung cancers for nine years said they were surprised at the "almost infinite" ability of tumours to evolve and survive. cancer research uk said the study showed the importance of prevention and early detection.

researchers say that globally, fewer fossil fuels will be used this year to produce electricity, in what's being described as a "turning point" in the battle against climate change. last year, there was more carbon emitted than ever to generate electricity. but this year, those emissions are expected to fall slightly. the reason is mainly down to the boom in renewable energy, led predominantly by china. here's the bbc�*s environment correspondent, matt mcgrath. from lighting to heating, cooling and transport, electricity has become the world's most important energy source. but the benefits of global electrification have come at a cost to the planet. making power is the single biggest contributor to global warming, responsible for over a third of energy related carbon emissions in 2021. even with the cost of living crisis, demand for electricity is growing rapidly all over the world. most of that growth to date has been met by burning fossil fuels. but cleaner sources, including wind,

solar and nuclear and hydro, are rapidly catching up, producing almost 40% in 2022. and this year will likely see the first fall in emissions from the use of coal, oil and gas to make electricity outside of pandemic or global recession. we're doing all the right things. we just need to be doing them quicker. so we know that our route to decarbonising notjust the power sector but the whole of the energy economy is through clean power. what's making a big difference is china. despite being the world's biggest users of coal, china is also responsible for half the extra wind power. one in five solar panels added last year were on chinese rooftops. even countries with little sun, such as the netherlands, produce 15% of their electricity from solar. while britain has lagged behind the rest of the world when it comes to solar, where the uk has really made

strides is in wind energy, like here in the blowy south wales valleys, once famed for their production of coal. last year, electricity production from wind across the uk was up by 23%, thanks in part to turbines like these. extreme weather events are increasingly linked to rising temperatures. climate ends will also bring more heat waves, like the one the uk saw last summer. to avoid the worst, scientists emphasize fossil fuel use must peak now and drop rapidly over the next seven years. today's news is a critical first step on that path. matt mcgrath, bbc news. before we go, i want to show some footage of a 3—d printed simulation of the planet mars, where four people will live for a full year, in order to help nasa prepare for human exploration there. during the simulation, crew members will carry out different types of mission activities, like simulated spacewalks and robotic operations.

lots more, as always, on the bbc website on this and other stories. but that's it for now. thanks for watching. hello there. storm noa has been bringing problems to transport, with road, rail, ferries and airports affected. meanwhile, out to sea, some wild weather in cornwall, with these large, mountainous waves pummeling the coastline. some of the waves were thought to be about eight metres high. that's the same height as two double decker buses stacked on top of each other. storm noa, then, has certainly been making its impact felt. it's this swirl of cloud you can see here on the satellite picture. and the top wind speed was recorded, as it often is in such storms, at the needles on the isle of wight — a very exposed site — at 96 miles an hour. elsewhere, well into the 70s. even across inland parts of southern england, we had gusts into the 60s of miles an hour and that was strong enough to blow over a few trees. now, over the next few hours, those very strong winds

are starting to calm down. it's still quite windy, though, for wales and south—west england. temperatures coming down to between 3 and 6 celsius, very similar to what we've seen over recent nights. now, heading into thursday, it should be a fine start to the day for many for england and wales. there'll be showers across northern england, showers for scotland and northern ireland. and i think through the day, there is a chance that some of these showers, particularly for southern and eastern scotland, into eastern areas of england, well, they could merge together to give some longer spells of rain. and some of the rain heavy with some hail and thunder mixed in and temperatures still below par. but when the sunshine comes out, out of the breeze, probably not feeling too bad. probably not feeling too good on friday across southern parts of england and wales, with another area of low pressure moving in, bringing outbreaks of rain widely. some of that's going to be quite heavy as well, whereas the further north you are, you will see showers and thunderstorms, some of them, again, merging together to give some longer spells of rain, so staying very unsettled and pretty cool again for april. highs only reaching around 12 or 13 degrees at best. however, as we get into the weekend, things start to cheer up.

the south—westerly winds start to blow away some of that cooler air and the high pressure starts to flex its muscles. now, on saturday, there'll still be a few showers around, maybe a few morning mist and fog patches to clear, but there'll be some bright or sunny spells and, overall, it's a better kind of day weather—wise. temperatures climbing. we're looking at highs of 15 in glasgow, 15 in norwich and for london as well. and that's just the start of things, because through sunday and into next week, it gets even warmer. indeed, next week, for the first time this year, we should see highs hit 20.
