6:08 am
the coronation but meghan will not. she's remaining in california for their son archie's fourth birthday. it means harry will have to face his family alone — a family that he hasn't seen since the state funeral of the late queen elizabeth last september. and relations, which weren't terribly good then, have taken a turn for the worse in the months since. first, there was the netflix series in which harry and meghan set out their version of why they'd felt driven out by a hostile media and an unfeeling family. we know the full truth. the institution has the full truth. and then there was harry's book, spare, which disclosed private family moments, including the claim that william had once pushed him to the ground, kate had been cold towards meghan and family members had leaked stories to the press. in a tv interview, harry said that if he came to the coronation, he hoped the family would face up to these issues. there's a lot to be
6:09 am
discussed, and i really hope that they are willing to sit down and talk about it. now we know harry is coming to the coronation, though without meghan. and the question, how will the family respond to him? we know there are still tensions with his brother, william, who he's barely spoken to. and we've heard a lot from harry over the last few months with his book and his netflix documentary. so it's going to be tricky for william and the rest of the family. but i think when all's said and done, the king will be really pleased at the end of the day that his youngest son is going to be there by his side on coronation day. harry will have a ringside seat in westminster abbey. officials will be hoping that his presence doesn't become too much of a distraction. nicholas witchell, bbc news. ukraine's president has called on world leaders to react, after a video apparently showing a ukrainian soldier being beheaded by a russian serviceman, was released. we can speak now to our ukraine correspondent, hugo bachega, who's in kyiv for us this morning.
6:10 am
good morning to you. what more do we know about this? this is an extremely graphic video. we have not been able to verify it. it was first posted on russian social media channels. it appears to show a russian soldier heading a ukrainian captive. seems it was filmed in the summer from what we can see in the footage. there has been strong reaction here from president zelensky, he urged the international community to act. he said this would not be forgotten or forgiven. the country's security agency is investigating it as a possible war crime and the country's foreign ministry is urging the international criminal court to do the same. this is the reaction in kyiv, we also had reaction from
6:11 am
moscow. a spokesperson said the video was horrible and the authenticity of the footage needed to be checked. questions remain after this video emerged on social media. . ~' ,. , after this video emerged on social media. . ~ ,. , . former health secretary matt hancock is being investigated by parliament's standards watchdog. he's facing questions for allegedly putting pressure on the parliamentary commissioner for standards, as he considered a possible breach of the mps' code of conduct. a spokesman for mr hancock said he was shocked and surprised by the investigation and denies trying to lobby the commissioner. homeowners in england might need to get planning permission before converting properties into short—term holiday lets, under new government proposals. the aim is to reduce housing pressures in tourist hotspots and protect residents from rising house prices. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now from westminter. morning to you. i suppose if you put
6:12 am
this into a snapshot, it might be one of those seaside towns where a lot of properties are let out, thereby depriving people from living thereby depriving people from living there year round. yes. thereby depriving people from living there year round.— there year round. yes, the example there year round. yes, the example the government _ there year round. yes, the example the government is _ there year round. yes, the example the government is using _ there year round. yes, the example the government is using in - there year round. yes, the example the government is using in its - the government is using in its consultation is cornwall. in a five year period, the number of short—term lets went up 660%. some people love them because they are a chance to go and stay in a house and feel like you are living the authentic life somewhere full perhaps pretty cheaply. 0thers hate them because they think they destroy communities and think affordable housing is less available to local people. what the government is saying today is it wants to introduce a new rule when you need planning permission if you want to use an existing home as a short—term let. there would be exemptions to that. it would not count if you just
6:13 am
let it out for a few days. the government is consulting on what the exemption should be, whether it is 30 days, 60 days or 90 days. it is pretty clear it wants to do this in part to make sure there are more homes available for local people at cheaper prices. it is the local elections just now so i am sure the government has half and ion that when announcing this. other parties are saying, when it comes to the housing crisis, the government hasn't built enough homes labour says and has not built enough of a house building strategy. labour has been pretty critical of short—term lets in the past saying they are destroying communities. the debate has been had a name has been a lot of pressure on the government to clamp down on it. they want to do and have —— will be consulting for the next few months.
6:14 am
the european space agency will launch a satellite to the planetjupiter later today in one of the organisation's most ambitious exploration missions. the juice satellite will take eight years to reach its destination and will help scientists to establish whether the planet's moons have the necessary conditions to sustain life. 0ur science editor, rebecca morelle explains. they're some of the largest moons in the solar system orbiting jupiter. they're shrouded in thick layers of ice. but beneath, there are hints of vast liquid oceans, and scientists want to find out if they could support life. now, a european space agency mission could answer that question. the spacecraft is called juice, and it has an epicjourney ahead of more than 4 billion miles. it will study europa and callisto in close—up detail before getting into orbit around the biggest moon, ganymede. the uk has developed one of the instruments on the spacecraft. so what we're looking at here is the flight bay of our instrument. the black box is
6:15 am
the electronics box. that's where the data is sent through. and that's actually put into a vault on the main body of the spacecraft. it will help us to see if the oceans are there and whether they have the conditions that are right for life. we've got volcanic thermal vents on the earth in the really deep oceans of the earth, where bacteria has been found. could easily be something similar, not like little green people running around the surface because on the surface they'd be killed by the radiation environment anyway. that radiation�*s going to be a challenge for the spacecraft, too. built in toulouse, in france, its electronics have been shielded to protect it from the harsh environment. it's been designed to study every aspect ofjupiter�*s moons. this spacecraft is packed full of instruments. this huge dish is a communications antenna to send messages back to earth. up here at the top, these black poles are a radar that will be probing beneath the icy crust. just down here, this red circular
6:16 am
instrument is a laser that will help them to build a 3d model of the surface. and just above that is a high definition camera that will give us our best ever views ofjupiter�*s moons. the pictures, the visible images are going to be absolutely incredible. so ganymede is covered in dark terrain and interesting impact craters and a sort of footprint of the activity that would have taken place early on when it was formed. being in orbit around ganymede will produce imaging resolution of a few metres, so we're going to be able to see exquisite detail in those pictures. it will take eight years to reach the outer solar system. but the mission scientists say the wait will be worth it. if these distant, seemingly inhospitable moons are found to be habitable, where else could life exist in the universe? rebecca morelle, bbc news. we are going to be talking about
6:17 am
that quite a bit this morning. bbc news will be live streaming the rocket�*s launch. you can watch the rocket sending juice into space from i2.30pm on the bbc news website and on iplayer. eight years to track it before it gets there. it will take a while. eight years! it is a long wait! now the weather with carol. any more statements of the obvious? what can you bring to the table? today will be much quieter weather—wise and yesterday. today we are looking at sunny spells and heavy showers, the most frequent of which will be across the north of the country. we have showers in the north. through the day some of them will be merging, heavy with thunder and lightning and hail and sunshine in between. also showers coming into the south—west at the moment.
6:18 am
through the day a few of those will develop elsewhere. there will be fewer in england and wales away from the north of england than yesterday. the wind will not be so strong. windy to start but the wind will ease during the course of the day. these other temperatures, nine to 13. if you manage to stay out of the showers and breeze it will feel better than yesterday. heading on through the evening and overnight, we will start the showers. there will be clear skies and their showers will building from the west. the next area of low pressure will bring in further spells of rain. it will be a cold night with frost across northern ireland, north—east scotland, possibly northern england and the north—east midlands. nippy to start the day. a lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine. the rain in the south continuing to push over towards the east. still a
6:19 am

6:24 am
it can't fire any missiles, but it can play a key role moving troops and kit to where they need to be on the battlefield. it does it with some style. it's also been used to evacuate casualties and rescue pilots, who've ejected behind enemy lines — a matter close to the crew's heart. translation: i like this helicopter because it's incredibly _ good for flying. it's one of the best for combat operations, whether transporting equipment or carrying out search and rescue. it's easy to fly, even in difficult conditions. these pictures are from the second helicopter britain's given and its pilots were not even born when it first saw combat in another conflict that began with an illegal invasion. for this aircraft is more than a0 years old and looked like this in the falklands in 1982. just one of many sea kings used by british forces to retake the islands in the south atlantic
6:25 am
from invading argentine troops. it's a wonderful aircraft — a hugely flexible aircraft, great capability. you can do almost anything with it. the man who flew this helicopter in the falklands said it played an historic role, taking the british general to port stanley to accept the argentine surrender. quite an interesting operation, quite apart from the weather. well, the ceasefire hadn't been signed up to this stage, and so the aircraft was flying into stanley, competing not with just the weather, but also some still rather unfriendly argentines around. his old sea king here was even flown in the falklands by prince andrew, then serving as a young naval pilot. they're doing the flight servicing. in a hangar in southern england, a third sea king is being prepared forwarand ukrainian naval engineers have been trained to keep it flying. is this aircraft too old for combat? translation: they are old, but they've gone through - modernisation and we need
6:26 am
them very much. i believe this is just the start of our work together. and he may be right. there are other sea kings in britain that could join this one if the government wants to send them. they'd certainly be welcome. james landale, bbc news in southern ukraine. you're watching breakfast. coming up in the next half hour... with just three weeks to go until the king's coronation, we'll be live on a street in south london, as the residents prepare to celebrate the occasion with a big lunch and a big party! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello. good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. two women have been critically injured after one fell from a building before reportedly landing on the other. police and paramedics were called to high road in wood green

6:29 am
hello there, good morning to you. a bit on the breezy side out there this morning, but through the course of the day the winds will start to ease off and we will see a good deal of sunshine, particularly through this morning. a largely dry start, plenty of sunshine at first. a bit breezy, gusts of around 30 or 35 mph and there will be a little more cloud through the course of the afternoon but still well broken to allow for sunny spells. the chance of the odd isolated shower and the winds will ease off and we are looking at highs of around 13 celsius. through the evening, the showers will tend to clear away and there will be lengthy clear skies but towards the end of the night, a little more cloud will start to bubble in bringing a few showers in. temperatures will fall away to around two or three celsius. overall tomorrow, there will be more cloud around with further showers and i think most frequent through the afternoon, but things are settling down on the weekend. there will be plenty of sunshine around and on sunday we could see highs of around 16 celsius. that's it. back to charlie and naga. we'll be back in half an hour.

in the next hour, the uk's biggest supermarket, tesco, is expected to announce large profits — as food prices reach their highest level in a0 years. hannah has the details this morning. lots of scrutiny will be placed on these results.— yes, we've seen that as prices rise, people shopping habits are changing — with a lot more focus on finding good value. the price of food is rising at its fastest rate in more than ao years. on average, something that cost you £1 a year ago now costs £1.18. but on some products like pasta, eggs and cheese, the increase has been even bigger. today though, there are perhaps
6:31 am
the first small signs of things changing. tesco says it's cutting the price of a four—pint bottle of milk by 10 pence because of falling wholesale costs. now we know that lots of people are looking closely at own brand products and shopping around more as we look to cut the cost of the food bill. discount retailers like aldi and lidl have increased their grip on the market as people hunt for lower prices. and some of the other supermarkets are now responding by introducing new deals to try to get more people through their doors. sainsbury's hasjust announced it's going to offer exclusive offers for its 18 million nectar customers. but running loyalty schemes is expensive. tesco recently slashed the value of its clubcard points — from june, points will be worth twice their value when cashed in, rather than three times as they are now. and from next month boots' customers will only collect 3p worth of points on their advantage cards for every

6:40 am
says it will try to stop the race being run, but there are limits. we are there to protect the horses and to prevent harm, as we know it's very likely a horse will die if that race goes ahead. so we would say that is a reasonable excuse to go in. it's a hazardous environment, exactly, and that's why we are trying to stop it. we're not going to be walking onto the tracks while the horses are racing, by any means. policing such a massive event takes year—round preparations, and merseyside officers say they are aware of planned protests. we respect people's right to peaceful protest and over many years people have protested for various things outside the national and there is the opportunity for them to do so, but what we won't tolerate is criminal behaviour and disorderly behaviour, so there will be a very robust response in connection with that. aintree accepts that some are opposed to horse racing but insists safety is paramount. the welfare of our participants
6:41 am
are our number one priority, whether that's a horse or a jockey, and we would do everything possible to ensure that they, the horses and jockeys, are given the utmost attention when they are here at aintree. we have made some subtle changes to this year to ensure we have the best possible athletes running in the race. and that means improving prerace fitness tests for the horses and extra briefings for thejockeys. 70,000 people will witness the national in—person, and millions more will watch on television. there will be those, though, demanding that this annual spectacle comes a finish. spectacle comes to a finish. that group you heard from in the report is a relatively new one, animal rising, deriving from extinction rebellion, so they believe in direct action in getting the message across and in terms of security arrangements, they plan for it all year round, the police and
6:42 am
jockey club who own aintree, working hand in glove. there will be bag searches for people coming in on foot and vehicle searches and we saw those yesterday, so stay take security very, very seriously and will do over the next three days because especially on saturday, it is such a high—profile event and we know years ago there was the grand national that was cancelled and run on the monday because of the double bomb scare hoax back in 1997, so it has that high—profile that attracts people who try to disrupt events on saturday. everyone i think is determined, certainly from the jockey club and police point of view, determine things will go ahead safely and securely on saturday and i think everyone agrees that they hope the races completed safely. indeed. john, i can't help but notice the wind blowing through your hair and you are rubbing your hands. a bit nippy this morning? just about

6:48 am
because they did help save my life, but it's so amazing and it's so nice to be able to sit down and thank them. while leah has no memory of what happened, her husband jordan remembers it clearly. i checked her pulse and there was nothing there, checked her breathing and there was no breathing, so i thought, i've got to ring 999. the longest 20 minutes of my life. the paramedics gave leah two shocks which then started her breathing. by the time mark, the other paramedic, turned up, she had started breathing, thankfully. jordan kept doing cpr on his wife for 20 minutes until paramedics arrived. we can't do ourjob unless the basics are started, so the basics are early cpr. if you can get a defibrillator, fantastic. they are simple to use and the instructions are easy, but yes, it's an example of why people survive cardiac arrest. leah spent five days at the university hospital of wales, where she was diagnosed with brugada syndrome, a rare condition that a rare condition that can cause the heart to stop beating. she now has had an icd fitted, which when it spots signs the heart is slowing,
6:49 am
works like an internal defibrillator by shocking the heart back into a normal rhythm. and then i was just sent home. it was very strange. ijust had a cardiac arrest over a week ago and then, right, ok, you are now ready and fit to go home, and try to get on with life as best as i can. with their lives changed forever, leah's mum lydia decided to fund raise and get a defibrillator installed at her workplace on the rassau industrial estate near ebbw vale. we're situated at the entrance to the rassau industrial estate and there's a local community not far away and ijust thought, what better way to have something long lasting than have a defibrillator on the wall. life goes on with leah and jordan focused on their little daughter, olivia. because brugada syndrome is genetic, she may have it as well, but they won't know until her late teens, so they want more people to learn cpr, and for more defibrillators to be installed to save more lives. david grundy, bbc news, ebbw vale.

7:09 am
are urging the international criminal to investigate this case as well. that has been the reaction here in kyiv. we also had reaction from moscow, from a kremlin spokesperson, who described the footage as horrible but said the authenticity of this video still needed to be checked. questions remain after this again very strong footage was posted online.- remain after this again very strong footage was posted online. thank you ve much. we've had update on how the uk economy is performing. hannah is here with the details. gross domestic product, a key indicator of how the economy is doing. these figuresjust indicator of how the economy is doing. these figures just released in the last few minute show the economy did not grow at all in the month of february this year. there was a bit of an improvement in
7:10 am
construction output but a full on services. the ons in particular point to the impact of strikes and industrial action on the service output in this country. every point matters. we were expecting 0.3 grace, zero is now the figure that is being used. the overall thing we should be looking at is the kind of trend over three months. this is a figure specifically for february. that can fluctuate quite a lot. if we look over the three months, we are now looking around 0.1% growth in the three months to february. basically flat. the economy not doing particularly well. the imf has predicted the uk will have the worst performing economy of the big g20 nations this year. worse even than russia, where there is the impact of sanctions. like the bank of england, they were saying any recession to come will perhaps be shorter than
7:11 am
predicted. the government has said it wants to grow the economy, it is a massive priority for rishi sunak, the prime minister. the figures this morning particularly encouraging. thank you. former health secretary matt hancock is being investigated by parliament's standards watchdog. he's facing questions for allegedly putting pressure on the parliamentary commissioner for standards, as he considered a possible breach of the mps' code of conduct. a spokesman for mr hancock said he was "shocked and surprised" by the investigation and denies trying to lobby the commissioner. the prince of wales has paid tribute to the founder of the veteran's charity help for heroes, following his death from pancreatic cancer. bryn parry passed away yesterday at the age of 67. he set up the charity with his wife emma in 2007. prince william described him as "a life—affirming and inspirational man." the european space agency will launch a satellite to the planetjupiter later today —
7:12 am
in one of the organisation's most ambitious exploration missions. the juice satellite will take eight years to reach its destination and will help scientists to establish whether the planet's all moons have the necessary conditions to sustain life. our science editor rebecca morelle explains. they're some of the largest moons in the solar system. orbiting jupiter, they're shrouded in thick layers of ice. but beneath, there are hints of vast liquid oceans, and scientists want to find out if they could support life. now, a european space agency mission could answer that question. the spacecraft is called juice, and it has an epicjourney ahead of more than 4 billion miles. it will study europa and callisto in close—up detail before getting into orbit around the biggest moon, ganymede. the uk has developed one of the instruments on the spacecraft. so what we're looking at here is the flight bay of our instrument.
7:13 am
the black box is the electronics box. that's where the data is sent through. and that's actually put into a vault on the main body of the spacecraft. it will help us to see if the oceans are there and whether they have the conditions that are right for life. we've got volcanic thermal vents on the earth in the really deep oceans of the earth, where bacteria has been found. could easily be something similar, not like little green people running around the surface because on the surface they'd be killed by the radiation environment anyway. that radiation's going to be a challenge for the spacecraft, too. built in toulouse, in france, its electronics have been shielded to protect it from the harsh environment. it's been designed to study every aspect ofjupiter�*s moons. this spacecraft is packed full of instruments. this huge dish is a communications antenna to send messages back to earth. up here at the top, these black poles are a radar
7:14 am
that will be probing beneath the icy crust. just down here, this red circular instrument is a laser that will help them to build a 3d model of the surface. and just above that is a high definition camera that will give us our best ever views ofjupiter�*s moons. the pictures, the visible images are going to be absolutely incredible. so ganymede is covered in dark terrain and interesting impact craters and a sort of footprint of the activity that would have taken place early on when it was formed. being in orbit around ganymede will produce imaging resolution of a few metres, so we're going to be able to see exquisite detail in those pictures. it will take eight years to reach the outer solar system. but the mission scientists say the wait will be worth it. if these distant, seemingly inhospitable moons are found to be habitable, where else could life exist in the universe? rebecca morelle, bbc news.
7:15 am
bbc news will be live streaming the rocket�*s launch. you can watch from i2.30pm on the bbc news website and on the iplayer. no matter how many times you see a rocket launch, they are always exciting. there is the element of jeopardy, will it work? all that kind of stuff. the big noises. are they noisy, rocket launchers? another useful piece of information we are giving the nation this morning. statement of the obvious. i am picking up on the trend set by charlie this morning. loving them all. this morning it is cold to start the day. for many of us it is sunny as well. this picture was taken earlier by lucy in

from the south—west, introducing some rain. underthe from the south—west, introducing some rain. under the clear sky across northern ireland, nor scotland, the midlands, we could see a touch of frost. tomorrow the rain moving from the west towards the east. once again a day of sunshine and showers, some merging to give heavier downpours, some with thunder and lightning. just breezy. temperatures eight to 12 degrees. then it turns milder through the weekend and warmerfor then it turns milder through the weekend and warmer for the start of next week. i weekend and warmer for the start of next week. ~ :, ~ weekend and warmer for the start of next week. ~ ., . , .,, next week. i know. when we see those temperatures — next week. i know. when we see those temperatures in _ next week. i know. when we see those temperatures in your _ next week. i know. when we see those temperatures in your next _ next week. i know. when we see those temperatures in your next update, - next week. i know. when we see those temperatures in your next update, wel temperatures in your next update, we will be very excited.— will be very excited. good. it is a pleasure- — will be very excited. good. it is a pleasure. thank _ will be very excited. good. it is a pleasure. thank you. _ prince harry will be at his father's coronation next month, but without his wife — the duchess of sussex. it will be the first time he's been seen with the royal family, since the publication
7:18 am
of his controversial memoir — �*spare'. we're nowjoined by royal historian, professor kate williams. i professor kate williams. understand there was a d for i understand there was a deadline for an rsvp and the deadline went but now we know. it was announced yesterday by the palace and also megan and harry's foundation that harry would be attending but the duchess of sussex would be staying in california. lots of speculation about whether harry and meghan had even been invited. that seems ridiculous to even have that speculation. of course they would have been invited. the question is whether or not they would both be coming and now we know harry will be there. we understand it will be quite a short visit. harry will not be here for days and days, probably just for the ceremony and not necessarily for the banquet and celebrations afterwards. he will be going back to california quite quickly after the celebrations. do
7:19 am
we know what role he might play? that is a good question. one reason why there has been a time lapse between harry and meghan making their announcement and harry saying he was coming it's because he wanted some clarity on what exactly was going on during the coronation. will he be a spectator? will he sit with the world leaders? will he sit with mrs biden, the first lady, or will he be part of the ceremony? will he be in the procession? there is a part where the piers play homage to mnemonic. the first to do so for elizabeth ii was her husband, the duke of edinburgh. we might expect prince william will be doing it. will prince harry be doing it as well? harry will want to play a role but whether or not that will happen, certainly as santa king, who is very close to the throne, you might expect that. —— as son to king. plans for the coronation are up in

7:23 am
there are different types of id that you can use, including your passport and driving licence. you can check online if you have an acceptable form of id. if you don't, you can apply for a new free voter authority certificate online or by post. you'll also need one of those if you don't look like the photo on your id anymore, or if it has a different name on it to the one you use to register to vote. if you want to vote, there's some key deadlines coming up. the deadline to register to vote is monday, the 17th of april. if you need to get a voter authority certificate as id, you'll then need to apply for that by 5pm on the 25th of april. there are concerns some people could be disproportionately impacted by the changes if they don't have the right id or forget to bring one and then don't come back. we know there are some groups in society that are less likely to have a form of eligible id or who face already multiple barriers to engaging with the democratic process. for example, the unemployed, over 85s, people in the trans and non—binary community, people with visual impairments, people with learning disabilities.
7:24 am
so we're doing extra work to make sure that we're engaging with them. your polling card that will come in the post will tell you where your polling station is. you won't need to take that with you. but remember, you will need to bring that id or you'll be turned away. lone wells, bbc news. thank you. just a mention of what is coming up ahead. just after eight o'clock, jamie oliver will be here on the sofa. he is a man with a tale to tell. one story he has not yet told is he used to tell stories to his children. many, many years ago. he has written his deputy children's book. his eldest is 21. he used to tell them stories and over the years they used to say, why don't you
7:25 am
write it in a book? he struggled with the idea of writing a book. he could tell the stories and now he has out. does food feature large in it? it does feature large. i dare say he will take us through. it is like a marker throughout the book. little moments with food. look forward to it. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. london's busiest railway station, waterloo, is suffering a major signalling problem with south western railway urging passengers to avoid using the station. a significantly reduced service is operating on a very limited number of lines and disruption is expected until the end of the day. iii out of the station's 2a platforms are currently closed. detectives are appealing for information about two teenagers who have gone missing with a younger child in south london.
7:26 am
angel holly and shanai bonaparte—chambers, both aged 1a, were last seen in fir tree gardens in croydon at approximately 15:20pm yesterday with shanai's two—year—old sister, although officers do not believe the child is in immediate danger. the teenagers have links to the beckenham and penge areas. fly—tippers could be forced to remove litter as part of "clean—up squads". under the plan proposed by labour, councils would be able to make offenders remove graffiti or rubbish they had dumped through fixed penalty cleaning notices. around 4000 pharmacists say they're seeing greater demand from those with complicated clinicial needs during the junior doctors strike. in one case, they saw a person who wanted a check up on a broken arm. the strike ends on saturday morning. and we'll have mmore on the impact to pharmacists in our evening news at 6.30 britain's joe joyce will fight china's zhang zhilei on 15 april in london at the copper box arena. 37—year—old joe joyce, also known as thejuggernaut, will defend his 15—0 unbeaten record in his first fight of 2023. and the stakes are high.
7:27 am
i got into boxing really late. i started at 22 and this was when i was at uni. so, at university, i studied fine art. i'm talented in art and also sport. any young people wanting to get into boxing, i would say join your local gym. when it's something you enjoy, you want to get better and learn more skills and just see where it takes you. let's take a look at the tubes now. good news. all currently running well. and if you're planning on using waterloo station don't forget you might need to find an alternative route. now onto the weather with kat. hello there, good morning to you. a bit on the breezy side out there this morning, but through the course of the day the winds will start to ease off and we will see a good deal of sunshine, particularly through this morning. a largely dry start, plenty of sunshine at first. a bit breezy, gusts of around 30 or 35 mph and there will be a little more cloud through the course of the afternoon but still well
7:28 am
broken to allow for sunny spells. the chance of the odd isolated shower and the winds will ease off and we are looking at highs of around 13 celsius. through the evening, the showers will tend to clear away and there will be lengthy clear skies but towards the end of the night, a little more cloud will start to bubble in bringing a few showers in. temperatures will fall away to around two or three celsius. overall tomorrow, there will be more cloud around with further showers and i think most frequent through the afternoon, but things are settling down on the weekend. there will be plenty of sunshine around and on sunday we could see highs of around 16 celsius. that's it. don't forget to download the bbc news app to keep up to date. we're back in half an hour. news app to keep up to date. see you then. news app to keep up to date. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. junior doctors in england have begun their third day of industrial action,
7:29 am
over pay and working conditions. the british medical association is calling for a 35% pay rise, to make up for years of below—inflation increases. but, the health secretary says the pay demand is unfair and unreasonable. after warnings that the strikes will put "immense pressure" on staff and services — one hospital in preston has had to cancel hundreds of out—patient appointments and planned procedures, as gill dummigan reports. what we do want? fair pay. when do we want it? now. outside the royal preston, a small but determined group of junior doctors. everybody is together and there's a lot of camaraderie, but there's also a sense of sadness because we really want to be at work. we want to be back at work and looking after our patients. inside, with up to half the clinicians on strike, those left are doing their best to cover the gaps. we have put together a rota over the next few days
7:30 am
which is staffed by consultants and we also have practitioners and other medical staff such as locums. here, as everywhere, the priority is to maintain the emergency department and emergency care. today, we are not necessarily seeing the numbers coming through the door we would normally see, so perhaps that's the public taking notice of the press. but it would only take a major trauma or a couple of sick patients to stretch the teams we have today. do you feel the situation is safe? i think we've made it as safe as we can. we've put the seniority in there and the numbers in there that we can do. but protecting emergency care has had a huge effect on less urgent treatments and clinics in other areas. across the hospital, consultants that would normally be in our service delivering care have cancelled those activities so they can focus on the care of patients here in our hospital. doctor brady is one of the team working out what services can realistically be maintained
7:31 am
and what has to go. during a shift you get surprises because you get your usual sickness or other challenges where you thought you had an area covered and it turns out you need more bodies. and for us, that might be moving people between preston and chorley within the same day or asking someone to come in at night who had not planned to be there at all. every week this hospital trust carries out nearly 11,000 outpatient appointments, and nearly 1000 day care procedures, including things like hip operations. so far this week they have had to cancel more than 1500 of those outpatient appointments, and more than 200 of those procedures, meaning care that is potentially life changing for patients has been delayed and yet more pressure is put on the trust. the clinicians here have spent more than a year trying to reduce waiting lists, but the current situation is frustrating for everyone. most of us have had to drop our elective day—to—day activities. yesterday i had a full day clinic
7:32 am
that had been cancelled. all the patients had to be cancelled and i had to work on the front door in a&e. what has happened to the patients who were supposed to be coming in today? unfortunately, they will have to wait. we don't know how long they'll be postponed for. in the past we had similar cancellations due to covid, then the twin—demic and now this, so playing catch up will be quite a challenge. this trust is not in crisis. many non—urgent patients are still being treated, but it's yet more pressure piling onto a system and its people and its patients with a resolution still nowhere in sight. we will keep you up—to—date with those strikes as they continue. jane has not those strikes as they continue. jane has got the — those strikes as they continue. jane has got the sport — those strikes as they continue. j—ue: has got the sport for us. those strikes as they continue. j—1e: has got the sport for us. where are we starting? j has got the sport for us. where are we starting?— we starting? i have a thought. sor . we starting? i have a thought. sorry. obviously _ we starting? i have a thought. sorry. obviously managers - we starting? i have a thought. | sorry. obviously managers get we starting? i have a thought. - sorry. obviously managers get paid lots of money and if they don't perform on the fans are upset on the owners of clubs are upset, fine,

7:34 am
final, and defender ben chilwell was sent off in only frank lampard's second game back in charge. olly foster reports. what did frank lampard really expect? the third chelsea manager in a chaotic season and it would always be a tall order against the greatest side in the history of the european cup. we were in a game and we had some chances and i think we can do better, and i've been here a short time and i think there are things we can utilise our strengths better, especially with the system with the wing backs, we can be more urgent in giving a problem with that. those are the things for myself and the staff and players to work on, because i can see opportunity there tonight and we didn't quite take it. the spirit at the end of the game, great. the ten men here for half an hour, you understand a lot of things can happen and i don't think we gave them lots of great chances, so i like that part of it and we have to believe. i need to be the first one who believes it is possible. chelsea won at the bernabau at the same stage last season before
7:35 am
going out on aggregate in extra time. joao felix had a great chance but fluffed his finish early on. it was benzema who sunk chelsea the last time out and the captain tucked in the opener for the european champions. thibault courtois won plenty of trophies in his time at stamford bridge and he had to be at his best to preserve the lead against his former side. his job became a lot easier after the break when ben chilwell pulled back rodrygo and the referee pulled out a red, and it didn't take long for real to make the extra man count. marco ascensio doubling the lead. with a second leg to come next week, the blues will have hope, but it is the spaniards who have the goals that should see them through to the semifinals. manchester united goalkeeper david de gea says one trophy in a season isn't enough as they chase a second in the europa league. they're at home in the first leg of their quarter—final against sevilla later — the spanish side have won this competition twice as many times as anyone else.
7:36 am
manchester united lifted the league cup earlier this year — that's their first piece of silverware since 2017. i think the manager brings the winning mentality. i think some players bring this as well, this winning mentality and we are playing really good football and have already won one cup. i know it's not enough, but we are in a good way and i think everyone is enjoying playing for this club. earlier this month, adam peaty pulled out of swimming's british championships, citing mental health reasons and now he's not been included in this summer's world aquatic championships. there are no "specific timelines" for the three—time olympic champion's return to the sport. british swimming has said the focus was "very much on ensuring he's fully supported". last month, peaty said he was "tired" and "not enjoying the sport as he had done for the last decade". it's first day of aintree — the grand national meeting — with the feature race on saturday,
7:37 am
but on day one, we will see the so—called "horse of a generation" race it was an historic night for great britain's gymnasts as they won their first ever women's team gold at the european championships in turkey. 0ndine achampong, jessica gadirova, becky downie, alice kinsella and georgia—mae fenton all combined to wrestle the top spot from the defending champions italy. betty glover is in turkey with a few members of the history—making team this morning. what a breathtaking finale it was? hey, thank you for having us, and welcome to turkey. look at the lovely weather. we have to see over there and i don't know if you can see behind me, some lovely mountains in the distance but we are notjust here for a nice holiday, we are here for the european championships and i'm joined byjessica and becky who both made history last night for great britain, winning the first—ever women's team gold medal, a massive achievement. firstly, how do you feel this morning and how did

7:49 am
says government funding helped to stabilise businesses during the first covid wave, but was withdrawn too quickly and did not benefit employees. here's our social affairs editor, alison holt. # don't give the farmer his gun, gun, gun he'll get by... # he'll get by # without his rabbit pie... at this care home in kent, life for residents like 89—year—old june is back to something like normal after the toughest of times during the pandemic. # run, rabbit, run, run, run.# well done, everyone. and it was the extra hours put in by staff that helped many care many care homes survive, according to today's report. here, care workers actually moved into the home. i lived here for three weeks but then i was in every single day after that for another four weeks, i think and i drove myself here and then home and changed my clothes and reduced the risk and wore a mask when i was out and did not commuicate with anybody or pass anyone or anything like that.
7:50 am
with the public we had more support and praise. there was a clap every evening, whereas now i feel like everything has moved back to normal and it's kind of been forgotten how much carers did and how much we had to sacrifice. the study by the warwick business school and the centre for health and the public interest found nearly two thirds of care homes went into the pandemic financially fragile. it says an extra £2.1 billion of government funding prevented the sector's collapse, but not all of that reached the front line. it points to limited change in staff pay, despite their extra hours. the report also says more than 100 of the largest care companies increased the money they paid to shareholders. it is pretty concerning that the money that went into the care home sector didn't in all cases go to the front line. it's also the case that there were lots of other care home companies and also charitable companies that were doing their very best in order to ensure that they maintain high levels of care and also sought to do their best to treat
7:51 am
staff appropriately. and the majority of care home companies are small, like here. here the owner said they worked hard to support staff and residents. extra government money eased pressures during the first year of covid, but it's been financially tough since that help was withdrawn. inflation really kicked in and everything has become more expensive. the energy crisis has happened, so we have less subsidy and higher expenses now. since the start of the pandemic, at least three care homes have closed locally. there are plans to turn this one into flats. the report says there needs to be a better understanding of care home finances and an improvement in staff pay. the government has said it is providing extra money and has set out plans for reform. alison holt, bbc news. one of the most ambitious space exploration missions in history will take place later

today — when the european space agency launches a satellite tojupiter. the 'juice' satellite will take eight years to reach its destination — and will help scientists to establish whether the planet's moons have the necessary conditions to sustain life. we'rejoined now, by astrophysicist, dr emma alexander. good morning. in case you didn't remember it, i love the word macro template, ——juice, which remember it, i love the word macro template, —— juice, which stands for jupiter. it's a good one. can you set the scene for us now, because at 1230 you can watch it on iplayer and it will be streamed and everything, but at this moment in time, the countdown switch being clicked, what is happening? this countdown switch being clicked, what is happening?— is happening? this is a mission that has been over— is happening? this is a mission that has been over a _ is happening? this is a mission that has been over a decade _ is happening? this is a mission that has been over a decade in _ is happening? this is a mission that has been over a decade in the - is happening? this is a mission that. has been over a decade in the making and we've _ has been over a decade in the making and we've had scientists working on this for— and we've had scientists working on this for a _ and we've had scientists working on this for a very long time, so lots of people — this for a very long time, so lots of people will be very nervous for this afternoon, so fingers crossed everything — this afternoon, so fingers crossed everything goes well but as you

i'm victoria hollins. london's busiest railway station, waerloo, is suffering a major signalling problem with south western railway urging passengers to avoid using the station. on twitter, it said a significantly reduced service is operating on a very limited number of lines and disruption is is expected until the end of the day. 14 out of the station's 24 platforms are currently closed. and for all the latest travel news where you are, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. detectives are appealing for information about two teenagers who have gone missing with a younger child in south london. angel holly and shanai bonaparte—chambers, both aged 14, were last seen in fir tree gardens in croydon at approximately 3:20 yesterday with shanai's two—year—old sister although officers do not believe the child is in immediate danger. the teenagers have links to the beckenham and penge areas. let's take a look at the tubes now.
8:00 am
there's a good service on the tubes this morning. now on to the weather. this morning will start with plenty of sunshine, a few patches of cloud lingering and largely dry conditions. more patchy cloud will develop in the afternoon with a few light showers possible. maximum temperature 13c. that's it. if you're worried about the situation at waterloo, don't forget there's travel news on your local radio station. you can also download the bbc news app to keep up to date. we're back in half an hour. see you then. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... police investigating the shooting of pc sharon beshenivsky, in bradford in 2005, extradite a man from pakistan and charge him with her murder. the economy flatlined

it's thursday, the 13th of april. a 74—year—old man has been extradited from pakistan and charged with the murder of a policewoman in 2005. pc sharon beshenivsky was shot by an armed gang during a robbery in bradford. three people have previously been convicted of murder, in connection to this case. jon donnison reports. pc sharon beshenivsky wasjust nine months into the job when she was fatally shot in november 2005. she was 38 years old and a mother of three and stepmother to two children. she and a colleague had been responding to an emergency call from this travel agency in bradford. hi, mr khan. the man charged with her murder is piran ditta khan, seen here arriving for a court hearing in pakistan. he's been in prison there since 2020, but was extradited back to the uk on tuesday and has now been remanded in custody. piran ditta khan is expected to appear here at westminster magistrates court later today.

8:04 am
predicted. strikes predicted by teachers are said to have had an impact. we had to be cautious about how we read into all of this because this is a figure for february and what is important is the overall trend. but for the past three months would be growth of 0.1%. the chancellor has responded saying these figures mean we are set to avoid recession and there is a brighter outlook than had been anticipated. the international monetary fund would slightly disagree with that. they predict the uk would have the worst performing economy of all the big g20 nations this year, including russia in that. why is this important what the big institutions think, what the government thinks? this is a measure of how much investment there is. it will impactjobs and wages and they are a real sign of things people are taking home in their pockets. thank

ou. president biden will address the irish parliament this afternoon, as he continues his visit to the island of ireland. he's expected to affirm the strong ties between the republic and the united states, and talk about his own ancestry. our correspondent charlotte gallagher has more. an irish homecoming for a us president. joe biden, who describes himself as a proud irish—american, arrives in his ancestral home of county louth. coming here, it feels like coming home. it really does. the way every time i've come — the welcome from the people on the streets, they're so gracious to us. he flew into dublin from belfast on air force one and was greeted by the irish prime minister, leo varadkar. then on to carlingford and dundalk. cheering. despite the rain, crowds lined the streets to welcome one of the world's most powerful men.
8:06 am
it's just been fantastic. like, it's really put us on the map and it's been brilliant for the people of the town. it's great to see joe biden coming to our village here. i mean, welcoming home a president of the united states. who would have ever thought that we would be doing this? so it's been a real privilege to be part of that. today it's back to business in dublin, meeting the irish president and then speaking in the parliament. he's only the fourth us president to be invited to do so. then he's on the road again, meeting his cousins in county mayo, where us flags are already flying high. while his trip may be a symbolic and diplomatic one, it's also a personal one. charlotte's in dublin for us this morning. good morning to you. looks glorious with the blue skies and sunshine. i know the weather hasn't always been

8:08 am
dublin castle, the finale of his trip to dublin. then tomorrow he is on the move again, more personal links he is exploring. he is going to county mayo commit meeting his relations there and then he will be ending this trip on the streets with a speech outside the cathedral. crowds were enormous when he went last time in 2019. so pleased to welcome home one of their famous sons. i think he will get a really good reception tomorrow. people have been told not to use rail services to or from london waterloo station this morning, due to a major signalling problem. south western railway says a significantly reduced service will operate on a very limited number of lines with disruption expected until the end of the day. waterloo was britain's busiest railway station last year. former health secretary matt hancock is being investigated by parliament's standards watchdog.
8:09 am
he's facing questions for allegedly putting pressure on the parliamentary commissioner for standards, as he considered a possible breach of the mps' code of conduct. a spokesman for mr hancock said he was "shocked and surprised" by the investigation and denies trying to lobby the commissioner. the duke of sussex will be at the king's coronation next month, but his wife, meghan, will not be attending. the prince willjoin more than 2,000 guests at westminster abbey on the 6th of may. it will be the first time he's been seen with the royal family, since the release of his controversial memoir, spare. here's more from our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. they've kept the royal family waiting but, finally, harry and meghan have replied to the palace's invitation. harry will be coming to the coronation but meghan will not. she's remaining in california for their son archie's fourth birthday. it means harry will have to face his family alone — a family that he hasn't seen since the state funeral of the late
8:10 am
queen elizabeth last september. and relations, which weren't terribly good then, have taken a turn for the worse in the months since. first, there was the netflix series in which harry and meghan set out their version of why they'd felt driven out by a hostile media and an unfeeling family. we know the full truth. the institution has the full truth. and then there was harry's book, spare, which disclosed private family moments, including the claim that william had once pushed him to the ground, kate had been cold towards meghan and family members had leaked stories to the press. in a tv interview, harry said that if he came to the coronation, he hoped the family would face up to these issues. there's a lot to be discussed, and i really hope that they are willing to sit down and talk about it. now we know harry is coming to the coronation, though without meghan. and the question, how will the family respond to him? we know there are still tensions with his brother, william, who he's barely spoken to.
8:11 am
and we've heard a lot from harry over the last few months with his book and his netflix documentary. so it's going to be tricky for william and the rest of the family. but i think when all's said and done, the king will be really pleased at the end of the day that his youngest son is going to be there by his side on coronation day. harry will have a ringside seat in westminster abbey. officials will be hoping that his presence doesn't become too much of a distraction. nicholas witchell, bbc news. actor and former californian governer arnold schwarzenegger might have thought he was carrying out his civic duty when he took it upon himself to fill a giant pothole in his neighbourhood on monday. action hero takes pothole action. i had just written and headlined by the way.
8:12 am
the only problem is now, city officials have said it wasn't a pothole at all, but an essential service trench being used by a gas company. didn't really look like that anyway. posting a video of himself carrying out the work, mr swarznegger said he'd been waiting for the hole to be fixed for three weeks. well now he knows the reason. it is unfortunate, if it is a mistake, unfortunate. the headlines have been great, tarminator. that's great. you can buy tarmac in a sack ready to go. did not look like he was doing a terrificjob and then he sprinkled sound. you do not get tojudge terrificjob and then he sprinkled sound. you do not get to judge the tarminator on his pothole filling. i would guess that carol is not going to get involved in this. js would guess that carol is not going to get involved in this.— to get involved in this. is exactly ritht. i'm

8:14 am

hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. london's busiest railway station — waterloo — is suffering serious disruption this morning with most services unable to run. passengers are being advised to avoid travelling there becaause of a major signaling problem due to a power failure. south western railway says a significantly reduced service will operate on a very limited number of lines — with disruption expected until the end of the day. ia of the station's 2a platforms are closed two women have been critically injured after one fell from a building before reportedly landing on the other. police and paramedics were called to high road in wood green yesterday afternoon. an investigation is under way. detectives are appealing for information about 2 teenagers for information about two teenagers who have gone missing with a younger child in south london. who have gone missing with a younger child in south london. angel holly and shanai bonaparte—chambers, both aged ia,
8:35 am
were last seen in fir tree gardens in croydon at approximately 3:20pm yesterday with shanai's two—year—old sister. officers do not believe the child is in immediate danger. the teenagers have links to the beckenham and penge areas. britain's joe joyce will fight china's zhang zhilei on 15th april in london at the copper box arena. 37 year old joejoyce, also known as thejuggernaught — will defend his 15—0 unbeaten record in his first fight of 2023. i got into boxing really late. i started at 22 and this was when i was at uni. so, at university, i studied fine art. i'm talented in art and also sport. any young people wanting to get into boxing, i would say join your local gym. when it's something you enjoy, you want to get better and learn more skills and just see where it takes you. let's take a look at the tubes now — there's a good service on the tubes this morning. and if you're worried about the situation at waterloo you can get the latest travel news

by tuning into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with kat. hello there, good morning to you. a bit on the breezy side out there this morning, but through the course of the day the winds will start to ease off and we will see a good deal of sunshine, particularly through this morning. a largely dry start, plenty of sunshine at first. a bit breezy, gusts of around 30mph or 35mph and there will be a little more cloud through the course of the afternoon but still well broken to allow for sunny spells. the chance of the odd isolated shower and the winds will ease off and we are looking at highs of around 13 celsius. through this evening, the showers will tend to clear away and there will be lengthy clear skies but towards the end of the night, a little more cloud will start to bubble in bringing a few showers in. temperatures will fall away to around two or three celsius. overall tomorrow, there will be more cloud around with further showers and i think most frequent through the afternoon, but things settling down on the weekend.
8:37 am
there will be plenty of sunshine around and on sunday we could see highs of around 16 celsius. that's it — if you're worried about the situation at waterloo don't forget there's travel news on your local radio station. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the uk's biggest supermarket tesco, has announced large profits — 0n income of the profits are in from tesco, big numbers but they are down. tesco is one of the uk's biggest retailers. their profits are down to £2.5 billion. they are pre—tax profits which fell by 51%, as it deals with the cost of living crisis. to coincide with this they have also announced they are cutting
8:38 am
the price of a four pint bottle of milk by 10p, they say because of falling wholesale costs which will be welcome news to many people. we know shopping habits are changing as people focus on finding good value. the price of food is rising at its fastest rate in more than a0 years. on average, something that cost you £1 a year ago — now costs £1.18. we've been talking about tesco today — but discount retailers like aldi and lidl have increased their grip on the market as people hunt for lower prices. and some of the other supermarkets are now responding by introducing new deals to try to get more people through their doors. sainsbury's hasjust announced it's going to offer exclusive offers for its 18 million nectar customers. but running loyalty schemes is expensive. tesco recently slashed the value of its clubcard points — from june points will be worth twice their value when cashed in — rather than three times as they are now. a sign perhaps that they're more
8:39 am
focussed on price you pay at the till rather than long—term rewards. because of the cost of living crisis the consumer wants to see value when they purchase, so if you can get that immediate gratification where you can see the discount immediately when purchasing the consumer is going to be attracted to those deals. traditionally what we know about loyalty schemes as they would always be rewarded in the future, to collect points and get coupons sent out to you, or you get them on the app. now what they are offering is a discount immediately where you can see the benefits of staying loyal to a supermarket. the supermarkets are one of the most competitive industries and it will be interesting on that milk price to see whether the other supermarkets follow suit. indeed, hannah, thank you. the time is 8:39am. one of the world's most famous horse—racing festivals begins today — the grand national. three days of events will culminate on saturday,

with the steeplechase. john maguire is at aintree for us this morning. john, what's going on there today? you are on the ground. you had been up you are on the ground. you had been up above. still windy on the ground, though. not as windy down here as it is up top, you are absolutely right. some of the horses i will show you coming out onto the turf this morning just having an early—morning stretch, going up onto the gallops. we are still around six hours away from the first race. it is a three—day festival. the grand is the biggest race in the world, you could easily argue i think, on saturday. and inevitably that brings a lot of focus, a lot of eyeballs, notjust the 70,000 people who will pack the stands but also the millions of people who will be watching around the world. what has done over the years and what it seems to be doing again this year is attracting a lot of attention and a certain amount of controversy. forthe of attention and a certain amount of controversy. for the horses limbering up ahead of the aintree festival it is business as usual on

8:43 am
it is what the protesters are concerned about and arguing about and i know it is a priority for you also. how do you ensure things are as safe as they can be? it is not just a priority, it is fundamental to the running and operating of this race course and this sport and it is at the heart of everything we do. if you look at some of the tangible steps and measures we have taken in recent years, we were talking earlier about changing the fences from wood to plastic which makes it much more forgiving for the horse when it goes down, and we are running this race on good to soft ground which is safer for the horses, we have spent over 2 million here on welfare —related measures over the last five years, we have veterinary facilities that are world—class, and there is no end to our striving for making welfare facilities and safety better, that's paramount to everyone in racing because everyone in racing loves these horses, loves seeing these beautiful animals performing at its ourjob to make sure they have the conditions and safety factor to
8:44 am
perform to their best. that is fundamental to everyone in the sport. 1 fundamental to everyone in the sort. , , fundamental to everyone in the sort, , , , fundamental to everyone in the sort. , , ., fundamental to everyone in the sort. , , . sport. i suppose there is no such thin as sport. i suppose there is no such thing as it _ sport. i suppose there is no such thing as it being _ sport. i suppose there is no such thing as it being too _ sport. i suppose there is no such thing as it being too safe, - sport. i suppose there is no such thing as it being too safe, but i sport. i suppose there is no suchj thing as it being too safe, but do some of those measures sometimes take away essentially what makes the grand national, which is this great big, very dramatic event? 1 grand national, which is this great big, very dramatic event?- big, very dramatic event? i don't think so at _ big, very dramatic event? i don't think so at all. _ big, very dramatic event? i don't think so at all. it _ big, very dramatic event? i don't think so at all. it is _ big, very dramatic event? i don't think so at all. it is a _ big, very dramatic event? i don't think so at all. it is a hugely i think so at all. it is a hugely dramatic race, fantastic spectacle to watch and people need to know they are watching something where safety is being taken into consideration and taken into account. 0ver consideration and taken into account. over the next three days we have some fantastic brilliant racing. today we have a better card than we have probably ever had, the gold cup, with some of the gold cup horses turning up today which is brilliant. i don't think any of the measures we have taken have taken away from it at all. it's just sport evolving with the times, moving with the times, making sure that we as a sport have that worth consideration is absolutely paramount and being able to talk confidently about that in public which we are doing now. 1 in public which we are doing now. i spoke briefly at the end of the report about a couple of measures this year. i was here when you put
8:45 am
the plastic in the middle of the fences, you have widened things, you have moved the start. what are the differences you have made this year? two extra changes this year. as i say we are always making changes as we go along, we never rest on this. one of the main ones is briefing the jockeys. before we would have the jockeys. before we would have the jockeys in a classroom style, this is what you should do. now we are taking them for one—on—one briefings with former national winning jockeys people like barry geraghty, so ap mccoy, ruby walsh, mick fitzgerald to tell them basically this is how you win a national. the jockeys are all fantastic and experienced, but giving them those tips from people they know and respect i think is a powerful thing and has gone down really well. the other thing is we are asking the trainers this year, the british horseracing authority have asked the trainers this year to sendin have asked the trainers this year to send in a video of the horse at every stage, six weeks, two months before, so that we can check for pre—existing conditions, so that we can say there is a concern there and
8:46 am
the source shouldn't be running. there is very stringent measures through which the horse can be entered. the other thing we have done this year, notjust in grand national but in racing in general we have changed the colours on the fences are so something that was previously 0range fences are so something that was previously orange is now white and that was the result of some research done at exeter university that suggests the horse can see white much more easily than they can see orange, and that is already starting to make a difference in terms of the forward rates, so we are encouraged by that. so as a sport, scientific veterinary research is important to us and making sure we understand the underlying reasons for the falls and the underlying reasons of how we can address that and it's only through that statistical analysis we can do that statistical analysis we can do that properly and the hurdles changes is a good example of that. thank you very much indeed for your time this morning, all the best over the next few days. what everybody will want to see is good racing but safe racing, of course. you can hear the wind whistling through the stands. 0ne the wind whistling through the stands. one of the interesting thing is that it does is it dries out the course here because we are quite near to the coast, quite sandy, so
8:47 am
it drains really well. despite all the rain we had last month. so they are making sure that the course is as good as it can be for your time this morning, all the best over the next few days. what everybody will want to see is good racing but safe racing, of course. you can hear the wind whistling through the stands. 0ne wind whistling through the stands. one of the e interesting thing is that it does is it dries out the course here because we are quite near to the coast, quite sandy, so it drains really well. despite all the rain we had last month. so they are making sure that the course is as good as it can be for the next three days for a spectacular event. as it is every year. back to you. it is a bit he a spectacular event. as it is every year. back to you. it is a we have made reference to the weather a couple of times this morning. it is definitely blustery, it is certainly blowing, the flags blowing in the distance and you can hear the wind rattling through the it is, it is really blowing. it is calmer down here than it is up top but it is certainly blowing, the flags blowing in the distance and you can hear the wind rattling through as we said earlier, if you are coming to aintree over the next few days i would wrap up warm. wise advice jane is taking a look at the sport, lots of sport going on and the moment. they won gold in the commonwealth
8:48 am
games in birmingham last summer and now have made history by winning gold at the europeans as well because isn't it lovely, the women's team gb in gymnastics are doing so well at the moment. they won gold in the commonwealth games in birmingham last summer and now have made history by winning gold at the europeans as it's the first time they have ever done it so it really is their first ever women's team and yes, it's an historic moment for great britain's gymnasts in their first ever women's tea m team gold there were similar impressive results for her teammates 0ndine achampong, alice kinsella, georgia—mae—fenton and the returning becky downie back on the bars, as they beat italy and the netherlands to the gold medal on the four apparatus. this was the moment they found out they'd won gold — really lovely to see those celebrations, especially from two—time olympian becky downie who was competing for the first time since rupturing her achilles in june last year. she was live on breakfast this morning, withjess gadirova, speaking to reporter betty glover. gymnastics jumping ships in turkey. jessica gadirova topped the standings in both the floor and be
8:49 am
and to just see why the team is continuing to climb, it is really exciting, likejess said, a year out from paris i feel like there are no limits for this team and it's it's incredible to know, to be around for so long and be part of that process, and to just see why the team is continuing to climb, it is really exciting, likejess said, a year out from paris i feel like there are no limits for this team and it's with what can come up in the next frank lampard says "special things can happen at stamford bridge," despite his chelsea team having an uphill battle if they're to reach the semi—finals of this year's champions league. they lost 2—0 at real madrid and had ben chilwill sent off on a tough night in spain. a champions league veteran, karim benzema, scored the opener. that's his 90th goal in the competition, and it gave the home side a 1—0 half—time lead. chelsea battled to get back into the game but lost chilwell on the hour—mark, as he fouled rodrygo, who was clean through on goal. and then real scored what could be a decisive second goal as marco asensio finished
8:50 am
from a short—corner. the second leg is next tuesday at stamford bridge. we we re we were in the game and we had some chances and i think we can do better. i've been here a short time and there are things we can utilise our strengths better, especially with the system with the wingbacks, you can be more urgent in giving a problem with that. those are things for myself and the staff and players to work on. i could see opportunity there tonight that we didn't quite take. the spirit at the end of the game was great, ten men here for half an hour, you understand a lot of things could happen and there were lots of great chances. i liked that part of it and we have to believe, i need to be the first one that believes this is possible. positive mental attitude. two games in europe for english teams later. west ham play ghent in the europa conference league and manchester united goalkeeper david de gea says one trophy in a season isn't enough as they chase a second in the europa league. they're at home in the first leg of their quarter—final against seville later. the spanish side have won this competition twice as many
8:51 am
times as anyone else. manchester united lifted the league cup earlier this year — that's their first piece of silverware since 2017. i think the manager brings the winning mentality. i think some players bring this as well, this winning mentality and we are playing really good football and have already won one cup. i know it's not enough, but we are in a good way and i think everyone is enjoying playing for this club. that is all the sport. thank you very much. carol has the weather. carol is promising good things next week but today let me warn you she is not giving you much, asjohn has been finding out! good morning. it is a cold start, if you haven't yet ventured out and for the next couple of days we are looking at sunshine and showers. not as windy as yesterday, but by the weekend it turns milder and then warmer next week. we could see our
8:52 am
first 20 celsius of the year so far as we head into monday. you can see this quite nicely on the air mass chart, the blues indicate cooler conditions and then as we head through saturday and sunday we have some more yellow's coming in and then the ambers come in as well indicating the rise in temperature. what we have today is also sunshine and showers, especially so in the northern half of the country were they will be frequent, some of them merging to give heavier downpours with some hail and lightning. the lightning most likely in eastern england, wintry on the tops of the grampians. further south into southern england and wales and we are looking at still a few showers around but fewer and further between than in northern england, scotland and northern ireland. the other thing about today's weather is we have gusty winds in the west and south with exposure. john experienced some of this. of course he's on a racecourse which is quite exposed anyway but as we go through the day what you will find is the winds will gradually ease at a 9— 13
8:53 am
celsius. overnight we continue with some showers and we have low pressure coming on across the south—west, which will drift eastwards through the course of the night and under clear skies the temperature will fall away, and it will be another cold night with a touch of frost. northern ireland, north—east scotland, northern england and the north east midlands. low pressure bringing in rain to the south—west continuing to move eastwards through the day. look at the lack of isobars on the chart. we are looking at a light breezes tomorrow, so of a difference. so the rain continues to move from the west towards the east. there will still be some showers. it is a day of sunshine and showers, some of those merging again with some hail and hail and thunder and lightning, and temperature —wise, cool for the time of year, we are looking at about 9-12 c, of year, we are looking at about 9—12 c, average at this stage in april is roughly 10—1a north to south. moving it's a saturday we have this line of cloud which is
8:54 am
going to be drifting westwards through the day. it will break up but there is a lot of dry weather around and a fair bit of sunshine. but by the end of the day we have the next weather front coming in from the west, introducing thicker cloud into northern ireland and later in the day we will see some drizzle coming from that. but temperatures are rising, 11—15 quite widely. by the time we get to sunday the weather front will continue moving a little bit further east and it will be a damp start in the west, and the cloud will break up, so again on sunday a lot of dry weather but the lion's share of the sunshine will be the further east that you are and by then we are looking at temperatures up to potentially 16 degrees. it is into next week as high pressure really takes hold of our weather, things settle down and the temperatures rise, somewhere around the moray firth, somewhere around parts of southern england we could well see highs of 20 degrees anyway. charlie and naga. isaid highs of 20 degrees anyway. charlie and naga. i said you would promise something good but you still haven't
8:55 am
