protests are on everyone�*s minds. and a line—up fit for a king — the artists performing at the coronation concert are announced. some rain across some rain gci’oss eastern some rain across eastern england today, many, it is drier, brighter and milder, details on that and the full weekend forecast coming up here breakfast. it's saturday 15th april. japan's prime minister has been evacuated from a public event after an explosion was heard as he was about to give a speech. police in the city of wakayama have arrested a man on suspicion of throwing a smoke bomb. we're joined now by our tokyo correspondent, shaimaa khalil. very good morning to you. this incident happening in the last two hours or so, just take us through what happened. i will put the

question again, can you hear us? it is charlie from the bbc breakfast studio... i think we can show you the pictures of the moment the drama happened? this is the immediate aftermath, the japanese prime minister at an event and there was a loud blast, we know now that this was a smoke bomb and the images you can see there are of the assailant, the security services obviously immediately on the scene, battling a person down and then you can see them removing him from the scene. police say they have made an arrest but so far are declining to comment further. these pictures were shown on the national broadcaster. no injuries reported, we should make that clear, and that the state of

the time, the prime minister had just begun to deliver his speech in the west of the country, and someone said that they had seen an object flying through the air, it gave them a bad feeling, and then there was a really loud noise and the japanese broadcaster began to disperse —— the crowd began to disperse and panic. we will keep you up—to—date with that. violent attacks are very rarely seen injapan, but that. violent attacks are very rarely seen in japan, but there that. violent attacks are very rarely seen injapan, but there has been some nervousness about security around politicians, of course because the former prime minister shinzo abe was shot and killed while he was on the campaign trail last year stuff ijust he was on the campaign trail last year stuff i just worth he was on the campaign trail last year stuff ijust worth reiterating, the japanese prime minister, we understand was uninjured following this incident.

members of the royal college of nursing in england have announced further strikes after rejecting the government's latest pay offer. the 48—hour walkout will take place on the first may bank holiday, and unlike previous action, will involve nurses in intensive care. it comes as a four—day strike byjunior doctors in england ends this morning. our health reporter jim reed reports. expected to see scenes like this again over the may bank holiday as the nhs braces for another wave of nursing strikes across much of england. this time around, staff in and intensive care will walk out as well, after members of the nurses union rejected a pay offer negotiated by their own leaders. clearly our nurses took historic action, by going onto peak this after 106 years. the offer put on a table by government was less than historic, so now when need to get down to make a meaningful, realistic

payoff to make sure we retain the nurses we have got, recruit more nurses we have got, recruit more nurses enter the profession and bring the energies back from the brink that this government has had it towards. , , , u, brink that this government has had it towards. , ,, u, ., , ., it towards. jessica collins, a paediatric— it towards. jessica collins, a paediatric nurse _ it towards. jessica collins, a paediatric nurse from - it towards. jessica collins, a - paediatric nurse from cambridgeshire was one of those who voted against the deal allege that this just isn't a pay rise solution that we asked for, in fact it is nowhere near and i think there is a lot of disappointment in the unions trying to encourage us to accept it. it just feels like we're backing down, so yes, i didn't really hesitate in may vote to. the deal on the table would have meant a 5% pay rise for this year, plus an extra want of some of at least 1600 and £55 to top up some of at least 1600 and £55 to top up last year's salary. the boat was close, with 54% rejecting the offer, and 46% backing it. clint cooper, a nurse in yorkshire, was one of those in favour. ~ , ,., , in favour. absolutely gutted. there is nothin: in favour. absolutely gutted. there is nothing i — in favour. absolutely gutted. there is nothing i can _ in favour. absolutely gutted. there is nothing i can say _ in favour. absolutely gutted. there is nothing i can say more _ in favour. absolutely gutted. there is nothing i can say more than - in favour. absolutely gutted. there | is nothing i can say more than that, but i care about the nhs, and i

represents health organisations says what the nhs desperately needs is a period of stability, but now it has been plunged into a state of limbo. lots of questions about what this different vote means going forward, for example, are you going to get members of unison, who voted to accept the 5% pay offer to cover the shifts of striking icm members but what is the government going to do? will try to implement the 5% increase, but that could be logistically very challenging, to find out who was a member of that particular union, with an attempt to implement that across—the—board that offer be withdrawn? 0ne implement that across—the—board that offer be withdrawn? one thing that is that is certain is the rcn are going to be stepping up their strike action at the end of the month, including asking nurses working in places like the ana behind me to walk out on strike action as well.

ultimately, they are going to balance their members for the potential for strike action going forward, four months ahead, and don't forget this is all taking place against the backdrop of the junior doctors striker, a four day strike which will come to an end and just under an hour's time, asking for 35% pay rise, junior doctors say they will now look at how that strike action has gone over the past four days to consider their next moves to consider when the government might get around the table with them but they are not ruling out further strike action is a period of turmoil ahead for the nhs in england. president biden has concluded his four—day official visit to the island of ireland with a speech to thousands of people in county mayo. he was greeted with crowds waving irish and us flags and said in an address with lots of references to his irish ancestry that he felt like he'd come home.

earlier he had a chance encounter at the shrine with the priest who gave the shrine with the priest who gave the last rights to his son bo who died from brain cancer in 2015. president macron says within the next two days he will enact controversial proposals to raise the pension age in france from 62 to 64. protests against the changes have been held since january, but france's highest legal authority has now ruled in favour of the reforms. joe inwood sent this report from paris. there is still a police presence outside the constitutional council here in france. and that's because that building is where one of the most significant decisions in modern french political history was made. there, a body of french grandees decided that the controversial pension reforms of president emmanuel macron, meaning that french people would work until 64, not 62, were in line with the constitution. i was in the crowd just down the road when news of the announcement

came through and there was a chorus of boos and hisses, a real anger, and that is when the trouble started. i can still smell on my close the burning of the flares that were going off. the protesters in their plan was to try and get here but they have not been able to because of a very very heavy police prevalence, hundreds of thousands of gendarmes, french police trying to get away from this area but that doesn't mean it has been a peaceful night here in paris, i havejust been watching videos of live fires across the city as the protesters expressed their anger about these reforms. at the moment that is all they are able to do, express anger rather than change them because the reforms probably will go through and french people have to work in the future until an older age. the co—founder and guitarist of irish rock band the script, mark sheehan, has died at the age of 46.

the band announced he died in hospital yesterday following a brief illness. sheehan formed the group in 2001 alongside vocalist danny 0'donoghue and drummer glen power. part of the line—up for king charles iii's coronation concert has been revealed. it includes katy perry, take that and lionel richie. the event will take place in the grounds of windsor castle on may 7, with an audience of more than 20,000 people. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. gary barlow is of course no stranger to big royal events. he helped organise the queen's diamond jubilee concert in 2012. this time he'll be performing with take that. # yeah, you and me, we can light up the stars... other performers range from pop figures like lionel richie... # oh, what a feeling. # when we're dancing on the ceiling... ..to classical singers sir bryn terfel and andrea bocelli. they'll be performing

a duet together. two other artists duetting will be singer—songwriter freya ridings... # castles from the rubble of your love... ..and composer and pianist alexis french. it feels incredibly special i think to be part of a moment in history that is going to celebrate an incredibly momentous, once—in—a—lifetime occasion, in the midst of so many luminaries as well, is just such a thrill. while the event is designed to display a diverse range of different music, one of the biggest draws is likely to be global superstar katy perry. # baby, you're a firework. # come on, show �*em what you're worth... with the thousands at windsor castle and the millions watching at home hoping for the kind of spectacle

that the artists performing are famous for. lizo mzimba, bbc news. at 9:50 we'll be joined by singer—songwriter freya ridings, who is also performing at the coronation concert. saturday morning, 13 minutes past six, time for a look at the weather, it's a good morning to matt. goad it's a good morning to matt. good mornin: , it's a good morning to matt. good morning. and _ it's a good morning to matt. good morning, and good _ it's a good morning to matt. good morning, and good morning to you as well, we are into the weekend and a slightly different feel these next few days compared to what we have had over the last view, slowly turning a little bit warmer, don't gojumping up and down if you are expecting something hard but compared with recent days it will be a change. sunny spells for all at various points but there will be some cloud at times and this cloud is across eastern areas, this weather frontier, is across eastern areas, this weatherfrontier, that is across eastern areas, this weather frontier, that which is across eastern areas, this weatherfrontier, that which brought an inch of rain across eastern parts of england overnight and still producing rain at the moment, the

radar child, you can see that across eastern counties, towards the far south—east, starting to fizzle a little bit, and away from that we saw some cloud into the midlands but north and west, lots of sunshine, a couple of missed or fired two fog patches, but for many in the west it will stay sunny all day long, cloudy over northern ireland later, the cloud and east will push further westwards and break up but in eastern counties, they can be wanted or two isolated, heavy and thundery showers, the most of the afternoon it will be dry and temperatures up on recent days, 12 to 15 degrees, much better weather for the grand national, some cloud building on the part of the afternoon. 0utbreaks national, some cloud building on the part of the afternoon. outbreaks of rantie northern ireland turning into western scotland and around the western scotland and around the western part of england and wales, clearest conditions and chilis conditions on the eastern side of the country, a small chance of a frost across east anglia but in the west, much milder started tomorrow

morning compared with this one, because we have weather fronts pushing their way to the north and the west and what we will see is the winds switching around to a more south—westerly direction and that will bring even milder air tomorrow, especially across the northern and western parts, and so even with the cloud it will be more humid, quite a great start, particularly across western areas, but that will continue on and off through the day through these western coast and hills, and you do get some cloud breaks, not dated the east of northern ireland and the far north of scotland and it is here that we could see temperatures peaking at around 17 celsius, 63 fahrenheit, in part two in fact parts of northern scotland see the highest temperatures, a bit of cloud across scotland and northern ireland to begin with but that should start to break up for many, cloud, patchy across england and wales, compared with sunday a lot more sunshine across the country and more widely we will see temperatures climbing them into if not high teens for one

or two. after a rather wet week, high pressure in charge of the north—east of those to the coming week, and it'sjust to north—east of those to the coming week, and it's just to the north—east of those to the coming week, and it'sjust to the north north—east of those to the coming week, and it's just to the north so week, and it's just to the north so we will see those breezes developing through the week and temperatures will drop a little bit, a small chance of a shower on wednesday but overall, not a bad week coming, and certainly after the wet weather of the week ago and it would much much drier. a 21—year—old us air force reserve has appeared in court, accused of leaking highly sensitive military intelligence on a social media platform. jack teixeira faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of sharing the information, including details of the war in ukraine, with other members of the chatroom on the website discord. 0ur correspondent barbara plett—usher sent this update from boston. the suspect appeared in the courthouse behind me, and we heard more details about how the investigators tracked him down through the discord messaging platform on which the documents were

posted. they checked out his billing records and interviewed some of his social media friends and it was clarified he has top—secret clearance because of his role of it specialist. there are continuing questions about how he was able to leak classified documents over time without being detected, and there is an investigation into that. president biden has also said he has ordered the military and intelligence communities to take more steps to secure sensitive information, although he also prays law enforcement for its rapid action. teixeira's parents were in the courtroom, they didn't speak to the courtroom, they didn't speak to the media but there was a brief exchange with their son, stepfather said, i love you, jack, and he responded, i love you too, dad. he did not make a play and now he will be detained until the next court hearing which is on wednesday. barbara plett usher with that

report from boston. let's take a look at this morning's papers. most of them are leading with next month's nurses' strikes following the royal college of nursing's rejection of the government's pay offer. the daily telegraph says that despite "hundreds of thousands of health workers" backing the government's pay offer, next month's walkout will be the "most extreme yet". the times carries a straightforward headline — "nurses set for more strikes", but says nhs chiefs have expressed concern "about the long—term harm" to patients. meanwhile, the guardian suggests the walkouts could last until christmas, with possible coordinated action between nurses and junior doctors. the rcn says its members are not planning to strike on the same days as junior doctors. and one of the most read articles on the bbc website is the story of spanish extreme athlete beatriz flamini. she's emerged from a cave after spending 500 days underground. experts have been studying the impact of social isolation on people's perception of time.

and respect the idea of peaceful protests, but they were rather that they remain peaceful and of course don't affect any safety of those people who are here, the horses or, indeed, thejockeys people who are here, the horses or, indeed, the jockeys as well. it is all to come. 0ne indeed, the jockeys as well. it is all to come. one of seven races today he had aintree at the grand national, also seven premier league matters today. —— matches. frank lampard returns to stamford bridge this afternoon, as he attempts to drag chelsea out of their slump. his first match as interim manager ended in a 1—0 defeat at wolves, followed by defeat to real madrid in the champions league. it's his second time in charge at the club and he knows the approach that he wants to take. fortu nate fortunate enough to have a career at this club mainly surrounded by a lot of good things and the things that pushing on, but the main thing that pushed leon was my own desire and willpower those things. so i think anything like that, collective or an individual, it has to be the process and i am a big believer in once you

do that, good things happen. meanwhile, what a task dean smith has on his hands — he's attempting to save leicester city from relegation, but his first game in interim charge is away at manchester city. he attempts to save them from relegation. the former norwich and aston villa boss has taken on a side second from bottom in the premier league after just seven wins from 30 matches. and he knows what he needs from the players. focus, concentration, energy levels, commitments, everything that you would like to see... you know, connectivity between the players and throughout the team. as we said, when we came in here, it is a clean slate for everyone. the race to get into the premier league is getting very interesting. middlesbrough have strengthened their grip on a play—off place after beating norwich 5—1 in the championship. cameron archer scored twice for boro, helping them move

into third place. they're five points now behind sheffield united, who're in the second automatic promotion spot. norwich are stilljust outside the play—offs. britain'sjessica gadirova is having a fantastic week at the european artistic gymnastics championships in turkey. she now has two gold medals to her name. she won the team event. she has money all—around event going into the final in third place. but a top mark in a superb floor routine gave her the title. the journey up here was quite difficult, but i am glad i gave it my all and i pushed through it. i am so speechless about it, it is incredible. my coach told me what score i would need to come first, so i was hoping and praying and ifelt butterflies around my stomach and i was, like, please, just come on, be higher on that score, i started getting watery eyes and i was, like,

i did it! i was literallyjust so happy. great britain are on the brink of defeat in their billiejean king cup qualifier against france in coventry. katie boulter lost a tight three—setter against caroline garcia, harriet dart lost in straight sets to alize cornet, but that doesn't tell the whole story. every single one of the five sets played was decided by a tie break. there are two more singles and a doubles to come today. ryan snell was just three years old when he needed a kidney transplant. luckily his mum was a match and her donations saved his life. he is now 18 and an athlete. he's representing great britain at the world transplant games this weekend in perth, australia. after a successful british championships, where he took four titles, he's excited to be competing in a range of events. times and distances that i definitely want to go for. looking

back on the british and their success that i got from there, of the four gold medals, i am striving for hopefully more medals, but especially striving for some personal bests, quicker times, longer distances and long jump, just seeing where it can go. the grand national is off at 515 he read entry later, a historic moment, the last year the first amateur jockey to win a race since 1992. two years ago, rachel blackmore, the first female jockey to win in 2021 and she goes again, on the favourite little bit later on. also riding in the race, her boyfriend, can't wait to see who has bragging rights later on. 630 exactly. it's four years since the devastating fire at notre dame cathedral in paris

which engulfed the roof and spire in flames and there were fears that the entire building might be destroyed. when president macron promised to have the cathedral rebuilt and re—opened by 2024, many thought he was being wildly optimistic, but as hugh schofield reports, the operation is advancing pretty much on schedule. four years ago the world watched aghast as fire devoured notre—dame, and the terrible climax — the spire of the cathedral crashing to its destruction. the spire has become a symbol. which ever site at eastern france they have been rebuilding exactly as the original. thousands of oaks from ancient forests have been felled and shaped and now the first part, the massive base, is ready for assembly. bang on time. we have said we will do this in five years, we have said we will do this in five years, so our reputation

is that steak. we must use all our knowledge to reach this goal. inside the cathedral it is still a sci—fi film decor of metal. scaffolding reaches up to the vast hole which was once the roof, but everywhere, craftsmen and women are at their work of architectural healing. one of the big tasks has been treating the stained—glass. like the spire, these windows are not in fact mediaeval but 19th—century. unlike the spire, they were saved. firefighters knew not to spray them with water or they would have shattered. the disasterfor them, ironically, as an opportunity to remove 200 years of dirt. translation: it is human grease from the breath i of millions of worshippers. plus the soot from the candles and the stains left by condensation. it has all left its mark. it may still look like an unimaginably complicated task but in fact

the reconstruction of notre—dame has been advancing much quicker than the doubters ever thought was possible. just in the last few days the base of the spire which we saw being assembled earlier has been transported here to paris and hoisted into place. soon they will be building upwards and by the end of the year it is confidently expected that there will be a new feature on the paris skyline. or rather, a very old one — the spire of notre—dame. virtually all young people use social media but in one young school in lincolnshire is being used to plan fights on school grounds that are being felled and shared online. school leaders say these are serious consequences for anyone found responsible. we have been speaking to parents and children.— responsible. we have been speaking to parents and children. whether you are a fan of— to parents and children. whether you are a fan of social _ to parents and children. whether you are a fan of social media _ to parents and children. whether you are a fan of social media apps - to parents and children. whether you are a fan of social media apps or- are a fan of social media apps or not you can't ignore them, but what

a rise in physical attacks in schools and we strongly encourage our parents and students to raise any concerns with us so we can take robust action. a recent report prays the academy for its effective safeguarding arrangements, pastoral care and the good and respectful attitude consistently demonstrated by many pupils are. in the meantime, one of the parents we spoke to said that child will not be going back to haven high academy and their eye homeschooling while waiting for a place elsewhere. quite interesting. if you have been affected by any of these issues raised in that report, there is help and support available on the bbc website below. you will find a range of organisations which can offer help. following the good friday agreement in northern ireland, a generation of young people have lived in relative peace. jordan kenny explores what it means to be a �*peace baby'.

good morning from a sunny if still slightly misty entry, where in about 25 past five, this afternoon, the latest winner of the greatest steeplechase of them all, the 174th grand national will be crossing that winning line behind me in front of 70,000 people. and we go with ian wright back to the primary school he credits with his success to open a pitch for local children. while it still have a little bit of rain across eastern england today, it is a drier, brighter and my other day, details on that of the full weekend of forecast coming by peer on breakfast. ——up here. it's saturday 15th april. our top story — members of the royal college of nursing in england, have announced further strikes after rejecting the government's latest pay offer. the 48—hour walkout will take place on the first may bank holiday,

and unlike previous action, will involve nurses in intensive care. it comes as a four—day strike byjunior doctors in england ends this morning. our health reporter jim reed reports. expect to see scenes like this again over the may bank holiday as the nhs braces for another wave of nursing strikes across much of england. this time around, staff in a&e and intensive care will walk out as well, after members of the nurses union rejected a pay offer negotiated by their own leaders. clearly our nurses took historic action, by going on strike, the offer put on a table by government was less than historic, so now when need to get down to make a meaningful, realistic payoff to make sure

we retain the nurses we have got, recruit more nurses into the profession and bring the energies back from the brink that this government has had it towards. jessica collins, a paediatric nurse from cambridgeshire was one of those who voted against the deal. this just isn't a pay rise solution that we asked for, in fact it is nowhere near, and i think there is a lot of disappointment in the unions trying to encourage us to accept it. it just feels like we're backing down, so yes, i didn't really hesitate in my vote. the deal on the table would have meant a 5% pay rise for this year, plus an extra one—off sum of at least 1600 and £55 to top up last year's salary. the vote was close, with 54% rejecting the offer, and 46% backing it. clint cooper, a nurse in yorkshire, was one of those in favour. absolutely gutted. there is nothing i can say more than that, but i care about the nhs, and i understand why my colleagues have rejected it. but i stand by my word.

i will not leave my patients. but ambulance crews and other staff members of a second union in unsion did accept the same pay deal. over the coming weeks other unions representing more paramedics, pool handlers and physiotherapists will be voting as well. ministers say they will wait to see those results before deciding how to respond. all this comes as junior doctors in england finished their 96 hours strike with nurses soon back on the picket lines as well, it seems inevitable the nhs is heading four months of fresh disruption. we can speak now to our reporter, simonjones. what more can you tell us assignment?— what more can you tell us assianment? ,, ., ., ., assignment? the nhs confederation which represents _ assignment? the nhs confederation which represents health _ which represents health organisations says the health service in england is now in a state of limbo, when what it actually needsis of limbo, when what it actually needs is a period of stability, and

thatis needs is a period of stability, and that is a great deal of uncertainty. going forward, are you going to see union members who have voted to accept the 5% pay increase asked to cover the surface of union members who rejected it, and to walk out on strike? and what is the government going to do? is it going to implement this 5% increase just for unison members, that could be tricky, finding outing who exactly who is in which union, or will the government pushed ahead and introduce it for all nhs workers who are covered by this agreement, or were they ultimately end up withdrawing this offer? i think what is certain is the nhs there is facing a good degree of turmoil, for example the rcn is now upping its strike action, calling for further workouts for the end of this month and for the first time it is going to involve nurses walking out from accident and emergency is like the one behind me. they are determined to make their views heard, this is taking place against the backdrop of

because of the junior doctors strike, and that ended a few moments ago, seven o'clock this morning. they are demanding a 35% pay rise, the government saying that simply is not affordable, so so there is a potential that junior doctors not affordable, so so there is a potential thatjunior doctors will call for more strike action as well. japan's prime minister, fumio kishida, has been evacuated from a public event after an explosion was heard as he was about to give a speech. police in the city of wakayama say the prime minister is unharmed after a smoke bomb was thrown at him and have arrested a man. we're joined now by our tokyo correspondent, shaimaa khalil. take us through what happened. very dramatic scenes this morning from western japan. there was panic and chaos among the crowd of about 100 people, when we saw a young man being tackled and pinned to the ground by security personnel and

our reporter again. we were just showing the images of the event a moment ago, there are the moving images, and take us step—by—step through what happened? what images, and take us step-by-step through what happened?— through what happened? what we understand is _ through what happened? what we understand is that _ through what happened? what we understand is that earlier - through what happened? what we understand is that earlier today, i understand is that earlier today, about mid—morning, japan time, there was chaos among the crowd of about 100 people, the prime minister was about to give a speech, he was in a political campaign event in western japan, and then there was chaos among the crowd, people were screaming, we saw young man being tackled to the ground, pinned to the ground and then pulled away from the scene. then we had a very loud explosion and smoke could be seen. we heard from what eyewitness who told local media she was among the crowd and she saw an object being thrown from behind, she said i was stunned and then the loud explosion

was heard, it made my daughter cry, and they had to flee the scene. we know the prime minister was there to support a local politician from his ruling party, and of local elections and by—elections, and he was about to start his speech. we also understand that a young man, a 24—year—old man has now been arrested. we heard from the prime minister himself shortly after the speech he was giving at this particular venue was cancelled but he went on with the rest of his day, he went on with the rest of his day, he said he apologised to people for the distress this caused but said we're here for something important and we should continue doing it. that the latest information, those images you saw, apologies for our connections to tokyo. a 21—year—old us air force reserve has appeared in court accused of leaking highly—sensitive military intelligence on a social media platform. jack teixeira faces up

to 15—years in prison if convicted of sharing the information, including details of the war in ukraine, with other members of the chatroom on the website "discord". 0ur correspondent, barbara plett—usher sent this update from boston. the suspect, jack teixeira, appeared in the courthouse behind me, and we heard more details about how the investigators tracked him down. that was through the discord messaging platform on which the documents were posted. so they checked out his billing records and they interviewed some of his social media friends, and it was clarified that he does have top—secret clearance because of his role as an it specialist in the intelligence unit of the air national guard. but there are these continuing questions of course about how he was able to leak classified documents over time without being detected, and there's an investigation into that. president biden has also said that he's ordered the military and intelligence communities to take more steps to secure sensitive information, although he also praised law enforcement for its rapid action. teixeira's parents were in the courtroom, they didn't speak to the media,

but there was a brief exchange with their son, his stepfather said, "i love you, jack," and he responded, "i love you too, dad." he did not make a plea and now he is going to be detained until the next court hearing, which is on wednesday. barbara plett usher with that report from boston. president biden has concluded his four—day official visit to ireland with a speech to tens—of—thousands of people waving irish and us flags in county mayo. mr biden's address included lots of references to his irish ancestry, and he said the country was now "part of his soul". earlier, the president had an emotional chance encounter with the priest who gave the last rites to his son beau, who died from brain cancer in 2015. president macron says within the next two days, he will enact controversial proposals to raise the pension age in france from 62 to 64. protests against the changes have been held since january, but france's highest legal authority has now ruled in favour of the reforms. joe inwood sent this

report from paris. there is still a police presence outside the constitutional council here in france. and that's because that building is where one of the most significant decisions in modern french political history was made. there, a body of french grandees decided that the controversial pension reforms of president emmanuel macron, meaning that french people would work until 64, not 62, were in line with the constitution. i was in the crowd just down the road when news of the announcement came through and there was a chorus of boos and hisses, there was a real anger there, and that is when the trouble started. i can still smell on my cloths the burning of the bins and the flares that were going off. the protesters in their plan was to try and get here but they have not been able

to because of a very very heavy police presence, hundreds of thousands of gendarmes, french police trying to get away from this area but that doesn't mean it has been a peaceful night here in paris, i have just been watching videos of live fires across the city as the protesters express their anger about these reforms. but at the moment that is all they are able to do, express anger rather than change them because the reforms probably will go through and french people have to work in the future until an older age. the co—founder and guitarist of irish rock band the script, mark sheehan, has died at the age of 46. the band announced he died in hospital yesterday following a brief illness. sheehan formed the group in 2001 alongside vocalist danny o'donoghue and drummer glen power. part of the line—up for king charles iii's coronation concert has been revealed. it includes katy perry, take that and lionel richie. the event will take place in the grounds of windsor castle on may 7, with an audience of more than 20,000 people.

0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. gary barlow is of course no stranger to big royal events. he helped organise the queen's diamond jubilee concert in 2012. this time he'll be performing with take that. # yeah, you and me, we can light up the stars... other performers range from pop figures like lionel richie... # oh, what a feeling. # when we're dancing on the ceiling... ..to classical singers sir bryn terfel and andrea bocelli. they'll be performing a duet together. two other artists duetting will be singer—songwriter freya ridings... # castles from the rubble of your love... ..and composer and pianist alexis french. it feels incredibly special i think to be part of a moment in history that is going to celebrate an incredibly momentous,

once—in—a—lifetime occasion, in the midst of so many luminaries as well, is just such a thrill. while the event is designed to display a diverse range of different music, one of the biggest draws is likely to be global superstar katy perry. # baby, you're a firework # come on, show 'em what you're worth... with the thousands at windsor castle and the millions watching at home hoping for the kind of spectacle that the artists performing are famous for. lizo mzimba, bbc news. at 9:50, we'll be joined by singer—songwriter freya ridings, who is also performing at the coronation concert. it is saturday morning. a lot of people, for all sorts of reasons,

appointments and procedures postponed as a result of industrial action. it does not include the numbers that we will see from the four days ofjunior doctors actions of the prospect of another nurses strike at the end of the month is extremely worrying. j’m strike at the end of the month is extremely worrying.— strike at the end of the month is extremely worrying. i'm going to ask, iwill extremely worrying. i'm going to ask, i will push _ extremely worrying. i'm going to ask, i will push you _ extremely worrying. i'm going to ask, i will push you further - extremely worrying. i'm going to ask, i will push you further on i extremely worrying. i'm going to i ask, i will push you further on that one because i feel like some of these phrases, referred from yourself or people who represent bodies like you do. it's worrying. there will be enormous pressure. there will be enormous pressure. there is increased pressure. yeah. when ou there is increased pressure. yeah. when you are _ there is increased pressure. yeah. when you are talking _ there is increased pressure. yeah. when you are talking about - there is increased pressure. yeah. when you are talking about a - there is increased pressure. yeah. when you are talking about a 48—hour strike, in those departments, those critical areas of care service, is this moving to another level? i suppose that's what i'm asking. because we've heard warnings from people like you before which sound generic, that we all understand it will be more pressure but is this taking it to another level altogether? j taking it to another level altogether?

we haven't yet seen from nursing staff and therefore, the challenges with that, you know, the organisation and all of the work that will go into managing and mitigating that will be enormous. mitigate is an interesting word, isn't it? it's used, again, i kind of presented to you that we've had quite a few people saying we can mitigate but it's only so far that can go, isn't it? becomes a tipping point where you simply cannot, you cannot mitigate or change a reality which is if the staff are not there in the key and now, as you explain, critical areas, you cannot really mitigate anything.— mitigate anything. what is to mitigate? — mitigate anything. what is to mitigate? so _ mitigate anything. what is to mitigate? so what _ mitigate anything. what is to mitigate? so what happens i mitigate anything. what is to | mitigate? so what happens in practice in hospitals and obviously i've been involved in the nhs for decades in terms of running hospitals, is you have to take staff from other areas which means you have to stand down oddone to work so that's why we've seen a lot of plant operations being cancelled and

rearranged —— non—urgent work. that means those staff coming in to support their colleagues in those key areas like the emergency department, critical care, cancer services, in order to try to ensure that you can continue to provide those key services for the patients who are the most urgent, that neither detention and treatment. of course, with fewer staff on duty and taking industrial action, that makes it more difficult. but the approach will be the same in terms of planning for that 48—hour period. priority will be about protecting patients's safety. the big challenge of course is now we've got the prospect of a nursing, a nurses industrial action, potentially combined with junior doctors, presents a real difficulty, and that's the real concern that trust leaders have right now. jj that's the real concern that trust leaders have right now.- leaders have right now. if you could, leaders have right now. if you could. one — leaders have right now. if you could, one short _ leaders have right now. if you could, one short answer- leaders have right now. if you could, one short answer for. leaders have right now. if you i could, one short answer for me - leaders have right now. if you - could, one short answer for me - you could, one short answer for me — you are not a politician but people will have realised by now that some

health workers, unison for example, have voted to accept the deal and they may be confused by the fact, we have one area which is agreed and one union which has not agreed and some of those staff are working literally in the same place. indeed, and that's a — literally in the same place. indeed, and that's a really _ literally in the same place. indeed, and that's a really key _ literally in the same place. indeed, and that's a really key point - and that's a really key point because the nhs is all about all of those different professions coming together to deliver for patients and it relies on that coherence and that togetherness of staff to the liver and the challenge now, of course, is that we have not some voting for the deal —— staff to deliver. we have a marginal no vote from the nurses, we are yet to hear from other unions. at the back end of this month and where i could fall ——we are yet to hear from other nurses where i could fall ——we are yet to hearfrom other nurses —— unions at the end of this month as to where they will stand so for what that means for the nhs as a whole with this deal and further industrial action. 5h this deal and further industrial action. . g . this deal and further industrial action. ,, . ., ., , this deal and further industrial action. ,, i ., ., , ., ~' action. sirjulian hartley, thank ou for action. sirjulian hartley, thank

feel the more that we can keep in that as well, i feel it's certainly not insurmountable to getting out of the trouble that were in. == not insurmountable to getting out of the trouble that were in.— the trouble that were in. -- we're in. is also the first day of the world snooker championship taking place in sheffield at the crucible with ronnie o'sullivan going for a record eighth title. cast your eye towards the sky and tell us what the weather is like a planetree. it is very simple. i can tell you it is better than it was when you were here. it is a complete area of expertise i can delve into —— aintree. it is better than yesterday. he is not far wrong. beautiful. there will be a bit more in the way a cloud, but it stays dry at aintree. it feels a bit warmer than

yesterday, even after a cold start. look at the ground here in cumbria. a bit of frost around in one or two spots after a clear night across the northern and western areas. that is where the best of the sunshine is this morning. this cloud will creep towards northern ireland later, and this cloud across eastern england at the moment is still producing some rain. it was a pretty wet night across eastern england. rain is starting to weaken and fragment but still a few heavier bursts pushing across the south—east right now. it will push further west through the day. lindsay of sunshine across the far west and scotland. from around lunchtime in the early afternoon there could be a a few light showers. across eastern counties of england it will brighten up this morning and we could see one or two heavy showers, maybe a rumble of thunder or lightning. many places will be drivers afternoon, and it

will be drivers afternoon, and it will feel warmer than it did yesterday. temperatures more widely into the teens, 12 to 15 celsius for the vast majority. a lot of sport going on, notjust at aintree. down in cardiff have the women six nations between wales and england. some strong sunshine overhead, a bit of fairweather cloud, a bit cool in the shade, but in the sunshine it will feel pretty warm. bbc has the coverage for that later on in the day. showers and the east will fade away but it turns wet this evening. a mild night tonight across western parts compared with yesterday. down the eastern counties it will be a bit colder than last night. a small chance of a touch of frost in east anglia. sunday, these weather fronts, they bring the cloud and rain as we go into sunday, but it switches the wind into a more southerly direction, and these

orange and amber indication there will be more warmth tomorrow. tomorrow, more cloud but not quite as chilly. a lot will fade away but still some around the coast, some breaks appearing in the cloud and we could hit 17 degrees in some parts of scotland. now it's time for newswatch with samira ahmed. hello and welcome to newswatch. the bbc got a big scoop with its elon musk interview, but who was actually calling the shots on this broadcast? and in a documentary nearly half an hour long on the good friday agreement, why did mo mowlam's role not get a mention? elon musk has been a source of fascination for the world's media

because of his extreme wealth, his interest in space travel, his controversial tweets and has occasional highly unusual behaviour. since he bought twitter in october, that interest has grown with, for example, a bbc panorama investigation last month into the rise in hate speech on the social media site since musk took over. he declined an interview for that programme and many otherjournalist requests. so, when the bbc's north america technology reporter james clayton sat down with him atjust a few hours' notice on tuesday, it was something of a coup. the responses he got were by turns evasive, strongly argued, whimsical and absurd. i'm not the ceo of twitter. my dog is the ceo. he's a great dog. the pain level of twitter has been extremely high. it hasn't been some sort of party. so, it's been really quite a stressful situation.

were there are many mistakes made along the way? of course. so you don't know what you're talking about. you can even give me a simple example of content, not even one tweet, and yet you claimed the hateful content was high. that's false. you kind of sad, "i actually don't want to buy twitter anymore." then you changed your mind again and you decided to buy it. did you do that because he thought a court might make you do that? yes. right. yes, that is the reason. we're literally on twitter right now, so it must work. they were literally on twitter because shortly before the conversation was due to start, elon musk's team had told the bbc that it would be live—streamed on their audio service, twitter spaces. that was a condition of the interview going ahead. and it was agreed to with it also being shown live on the bbc news channel. it featured prominently on most bbc outlets throughout wednesday,

and audience reaction was mixed, with cal 2105 calling it: but william marver added: dave share that sentiment, writing: and lorraine meakin thought: so, the bbc has given elon musk the attention he needed. well, let's go to san francisco now and speak to james clayton. thank you so much for coming on newswatch. now, you were told on very short notice that twitter were going to livestream that whole interview on twitter spaces. should the bbc have exceeded to that demand, when it meant really, from that moment on, they were essentially running the show, weren't they? yeah, it's an interesting question. i woke an editor up at 4am

to ask whether we should go ahead. i guess if you pull out at that point for the bbc, that's also an interesting reputational issue. you've got this interview with elon musk that is ready to go and you are not doing it. and what are the editorial sort of issues with that too? i think the way we mitigated it, as we said, we will put it live too, so it's not — you could argue editorially. maybe we shouldn't have gone ahead with it but i think we would've lost the interview. and i think the interview was packed full of lines. i think if you watch the interview, i think it's 60 minutes, we actually start on for longer than that afterwards, which we recorded too. they're all sorts of interesting things that you learn about twitter, about elon musk, that we wouldn't have learned if we had done that interview. so, watching it, it's clear that musk successfully deflected a lot of questions right back at you. were you prepared for that? yes, i had about

four, five hours or so to prep, so i prepped the questions. when i hadn't done or had time to do, because it wasn't loads of time, is war game it. so perhaps i wasn't prepared for that comeback in the way that i would have been if i had more time. at the same time, elon musk is going to do that. he's very, very difficult interview. he's very difficult to pin down. i asked him about who he was going to pass the reins to, who's going to be the next chief executive of twitter, and he said, "i've made my dog chief executive of twitter." he said it over and over again. how do you interview someone like that? so, elon musk is notoriously difficult. and i think, generally, we had a very interesting chat. he was being very honest. but there definitely were places i felt where he was trying to go viral. and i also think that he was very much talking, he was doing an interview to try

and impress some of his twitter friends on twitter spaces. maybe the tone of the interview might've been different if we weren't on twitter spaces. but this is...this is elon musk. he has a chaos match. and you have to prepare for anything that might happen. when you asked about hate speech, for example — a big, important issue — he asked you for examples, and you didn't have any. shouldn't you have been better prepared? yeah, so i actually think that specific bit wasjust a tactical errorfor me. i shouldn't have engaged. ijust shouldn't have engaged with that particular question. actually, at the time, when i was thinking about it, i had tonnes of examples of hate speech that i could have given him, but i didn't want to continue to go down that path because i'd already made the tactical error of engaging with it. i should'vejust said, this is not about me, "whether twitter is full of hate or not. "it's not about my twitter feed." but we sat down for 90 minutes in total.

there are going to be moments when elon musk is a very, very slippery character, where you don't get the better of him in certain questions and, of course, what elon musk can do, cos he is the most followed person on twitter, is he can make moments go viral. so, people look at those moments and maybe haven't watched the entire interview — which is, once again, stacked with lines. there are things that we had no idea that elon musk thought and i pushed back on him very hard in numerous areas. ifound it to be a really interesting interview, and it was a real sort of roller—coaster, in many ways. it kind of reflected elon musk's personality in some ways — he was quite thoughtful at times, quite emotional at times, and then quite aggressive at times. elon musk said, "ask me whatever you want," but you didn't ask about

the thai cave dive rescue story, or spacex or the controversial things he said about ukraine in all that time that you had — why not? yeah, so the agreement that we had before is that we were going to do a six—month take, on his first six months as chief executive of twitter. we could have stayed and done hours more interview. at that point, i mean, firstly, that is not what we had agreed. he said, "ask you anything you'd like." you livestreamed it. what would he have done? that was right at the start of the interview. we said, "we are going to be doing an interview "about the first six months of my tenure at twitter," and he said, "ask me anything you like." so, that was about those six months and that is what we had agreed to before the interview. i could have asked him more about that. you also get to the point where you have sat down and asked someone for 90 minutes about a certain topic, and you have stacks and stands

and stacks of news lines, how many more questions do you want and need to ask? you can always say what you didn't ask. but the parameters of the interview were about his first six months as owner and chief executive of twitter. james clayton, thank you so much for coming on newswatch. last week was the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement and was marked by a number of reports and special programmes across the bbc, including the 26—minute documentary troubles and peace, commissioned for the iplayer and also shown on television last saturday. the deal largely ended the largest running conflict in europe 25 years ago. i thought, "this is not a conflict "that has got any place in the new millennium." if you want to solve it, i you have to take that risk and talk to those - who actually control it.

what followed met with the general approval of wendy cook, but she had one major reservation. it was an excellent account of the part played by so many people in the difficultjourney made to conclude the peace agreement. however, i was very dismayed that there was no mention made of the part played by mo mowlam, the then secretary of state for northern ireland. it's been widely recognised that she played a critical role in bringing various parties together around the table to secure the peace agreement. so, an otherwise excellent film, but a serious omission, not to make reference to the part played by mo mowlam, a very brave lady. well, we put that point made by wendy and by a number of other viewers to bbc news, and they told us:

finally, king charles and camilla, the queen consort, have now sent out invitations to the coronation on may 6 — or invites, as they have been described on various bbc outlets on television and on the website. jennifer willis was not alone when she wondered: thank you for all your comments this week. we've also been receiving feedback on the new bbc news channel and we will be returning to that subject in the coming weeks, so please keep those

comments coming. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news on tv, radio, online and social media, e—mail newswatch or you can find us on twitter. or you can call us. do have a look at previous interviews on our website. that's all from us. we'll be back to you with bbc news coverage again next week. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... a smoke bomb is thrown at the japanese prime minister whilst he makes a speech in western japan. more strikes are on the way by nurses in england after rejecting the governent's lastest pay offer.

likely to see potentially hundreds of thousands of appointments and operations cancelled once again. this morning, health leaders have been saying they are extremely concerned about the proposed actions, saying it is going to involve a lot of planning and going to race a really significant issues. they say what the nhs needs right now in england is a period of stability and instead we're going to see a situation where the nhs is in limbo. potentially, you're going to see a scenario where workers have voted to accept that 5% pay offer will be asked to fill the shifts of workers who rejected that 5% pay offer, so potentially pitting unions against each other. there is, of course, is playing out against the backdrop of the junior doctors' strike. that four—day strike came to an hour ago when a 70 staff returned to work in hospitals like this one. about the doctors say —— 7am staff.

the doctors say they will assess the impact of their strike and decide what they will do next, they are hoping to force the government to enter negotiations. they're asking for 35%, and compare that to 5% of the nurses are asking on. the government says 5% —— 35% is unrealistic, so the doctor said they will consider further strike action. it is clear the nhs faces a turbulent time ahead. for the moment. _ turbulent time ahead. for the moment. sign. _ turbulent time ahead. for the moment, sign, thank- turbulent time ahead. for the moment, sign, thank you i turbulent time ahead. for the | moment, sign, thank you very turbulent time ahead. for the - moment, sign, thank you very much. a 21—year—old us air force reserve has appeared in court accused of leaking highly—sensitive military intelligence on a social media platform. jack teixeira faces up to 15—years in prison if convicted of sharing the information, including details of the war in ukraine, with other members of the chatroom on the website discord. our correspondent, barbara plett usher sent this update from boston. the suspect, jack teixeira, appeared in the courthouse behind me and we heard more details about how

the investigators tracked him down. that was through the discord messaging platform on which the documents were posted. so they checked out his billing records and they interviewed some of his social media friends, and it was clarified that he does have top secret clearance because of his role as an it specialist in the intelligence unit of the air national guard. but there are these continuing questions, of course, about how he was able to leak classified documents over time without being detected, and there's an investigation into that. president biden has also said that he's ordered the military and intelligence communities to take more steps to secure sensitive information, although he also praised law enforcement for its rapid action. teixeira'sparents were in the courtroom. they didn't speak to the media, but there was a brief exchange with their son. his stepfather said, "i love you, jack". and he responded, "i love you, too, dad". he did not make a plea, and now he is going to be detained until the next court hearing, which is on wednesday. by by bob natasha there.

there, a body of french grandees decided that the controversial pension reforms of president emmanuel macron meaning that french people would work until 64, not 62 were in line with the constitution. now, i was in the crowds just down the road when that news of the announcement came through and there was a chorus of boos and hisses. there was a real anger there. and that is when the trouble started. i can still smell on my clothes, the burning of the the bins and of the flares that were going off. now, the protesters, their plan was to try and get here, but they haven't been able to because of a very, very heavy police presence. there were baton charges. there were hundreds, thousands of gendarmes, of french police trying to keep them away from this area. but that doesn't mean it's been a peaceful night here in paris. there have been fires. i've just been watching videos of live fires taking place, being set off around the city as the protesters express their anger about these reforms. but i think, at the moment, that's all they're able to do to express anger rather than change them, because the reforms probably will go through and french people in the future will have to work

to an older age. part of the line—up for king charles the third's coronation concert has been revealed — it includes katy perry, take that and lionel richie. the event will take place in the grounds of windsor castle on 7th may, with an audience of more than 20,000 people. other names who will take part in the celebration include italian opera singer andrea bocelli, welsh bass—baritone sir bryn terfel and singer—songwriter freya ridings. at 09:50, we'll be joined by singer—songwriter freya ridings, to find out a bit more about the occasion and the number of artists involved. j occasion and the number of artists involved. :, :, ~' occasion and the number of artists involved. :, :, ,, , occasion and the number of artists involved. :, :, ~ , , involved. i do not think she will be able to predict _ involved. i do not think she will be able to predict what _ involved. i do not think she will be able to predict what the _ involved. i do not think she will be able to predict what the weather i involved. i do not think she will be j able to predict what the weather is like, but matt may be able to. it is only three weeks away, that is easy, isn't it? yeah... it'll be a lovely day! i'm not on _ yeah... it'll be a lovely day! i'm not on that— yeah... it'll be a lovely day! i'm not on that ship, so if it goes

are then filmed and shared online. school leaders say there are serious consequences for anyone found responsible. our reporterjessica lane has been speaking to parents and children. we've changed their voices to protect their identities. whether you're a fan of social media apps or not, you can't ignore them. but what impact do they have on young people? parents and children at one school in boston say they're a big problem, as they say some students at haven high academy are filming fights at school and then sharing them online. they say this is one such fight which took place in the last few months, but they also say this is not a one—off. one parent, who doesn't want to be identified, found out about another fight involving her child when she was sent this video after it was shared in the first place, this should never happen in school. and also, its being shared on social media so other kids get the chance to mock

and laugh at the children who are helpless to defend themselves. she's being attacked, beaten and filmed, and then uploaded to social media for everyone to see. and your daughter's scared scared to go out? she's scared to even leave the house right now. i've seen several videos of fights at schools which have been shared on social media. we're not going to play any more of them because they show violence inflicted on children by other children and they're disturbing to watch. and the people we've spoken to say sometimes fights are planned using social media messaging, too. one child at haven high academy received this message, threatening they'd be beaten up by a gang on the school field during the school day. i was scared. i didn't know what was going to happen. i've never been in that position where i've been the one on the ground getting beaten up and everyone laughing with their cameras out. i don't want to be there. i want to move schools. these fights have been going on for a long time and they're filmed and shared around the internet a lot. it's usually really

bad fights as well. they post videos of people getting beaten up. that embarrasses them, gets them stressed, and then they don't come to school. do you know kids who are not going to school because they've been involved in these fights or they've had things on social media? yeah, i have a fear myself. i never know if it's my turn or not, never know if i'll go past someone and they'll start picking on me and start beating me up. it can be really scary. and it's a big worry for parents too. all day long when i'm working, i'm thinking, how is she doing and how is her day going? they're supposed to learn, not be scared if somebody would beat them up. there's bullying, they see fights every day. they're scared to go to school. they're really afraid of the situation at school. and does the social media side of it make it worse? it is definitely because kids are doing this for likes. everyone can see what's happening there. i saw the videos of the fights and i don't know how i'd feel if it was my child. in a statement, a school

spokesperson said, "all staff at haven high academy are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of every young person in our care. we take these reports very seriously. however, it would not be appropriate to comment on specific reports here. we do not accept or condone aggressive behaviour and there are serious consequences for anyone found responsible for such activities. we understand that, nationally, social media is fuelling a rise in physical attacks in schools, and we strongly encourage our parents and students to raise any concerns with us so we can take robust action". a recent ofsted report praised the academy for its effective safeguarding arrangements, pastoral care and the good and respectful attitudes consistently demonstrated by many pupils". in the meantime, one of the parents we spoke to says their child will not be going back to haven high academy and they're home schooling while waiting for a place elsewhere. jessica lane, bbc news, in lincolnshire. we're joined now by simone vibert from not—for—profit

wastage is something paul can't afford with the cost of living crisis already slicing into profits. their electricity bills have more than doubled to 1,700 a month. i mean, all it takes is a simple phone call, and when nobody turns up, well, itjust comes out of my pocket. me and my wife here, we can't afford to cover other people's food. it's devastating. at the pickwick inn and restaurant near padstow, as the tourist season kicks in, so do the no shows. five. a table for five assumes we open. they only booked last minute. so maybe it was a mistake. but yes, you know, another day, another no show. fed up with people taking the biscuit. natalie started a facebook support group. nearly 70 local restaurants joined. but two years on, the problem persists. we've put things in place, such as contacting customers on the day of booking and just giving them a reminder and an option to cancel again, which has improved things slightly. but yeah, it's a tricky one, but i do think, you know, some people

are just inherently selfish, unfortunately. at gilly beach cafe in falmouth they're serving up a different solution. we just decided we're not going to do it anymore. we're going to take that problem, just not deal with it. so we're not going to do any bookings. we did again think about deposits, but we also thought if you have a cancellation of six or whatever, you might take £20 ahead, £120 in the bank for that no show. but that doesn't help the atmosphere in the restaurant. you've still got an empty table. you might struggle to fill it in the winter, so we just sort of said no. he says most customers aren't put off. i think maybe we could be a bit less precious about things. you know, if there's no room, there's no room, come back in half an hour or, you know, or have a backup option. but maybe don't book your backup plan. in an industry that is often governed by the weather, which is notoriously unpredictable, what most restaurateurs want is to be able to bank on their bookings.

coming _ is something that started as we were coming out _ is something that started as we were coming out of the pandemic when people _ coming out of the pandemic when people were reopening of struggling to get— people were reopening of struggling to get bookings, there were booking a plan _ to get bookings, there were booking a plan a, _ to get bookings, there were booking a plan a, plan and a and a plan to and forgetting to cancel. it is getting — and forgetting to cancel. it is getting better, it was up to a third of no—shows and it is down at around 15% no— of no—shows and it is down at around 15% no shows — of no—shows and it is down at around 15% no shows coming through on average. — 15% no shows coming through on average, but it still is devastating for those — average, but it still is devastating for those businesses that are affected. we understand plans change. — affected. we understand plans change, but all it takes a simple phone _ change, but all it takes a simple phone call, or a simple online cancellation to let people know and to give _ cancellation to let people know and to give the restaurant a fighting chance — to give the restaurant a fighting chance of— to give the restaurant a fighting chance of avoiding that food waste, or that _ chance of avoiding that food waste, or that devastating cost.— or that devastating cost. people go on a list, or that devastating cost. people go on a list. you say — or that devastating cost. people go on a list, you say this _ or that devastating cost. people go on a list, you say this happens - or that devastating cost. people go on a list, you say this happens a i on a list, you say this happens a lot, do those individuals go on a list so that you would not take another booking from them in the future? , ., , ., ., . future? yes, that is what we do. we work with a — future? yes, that is what we do. we work with a system _ future? yes, that is what we do. we work with a system where _ future? yes, that is what we do. we work with a system where we i future? yes, that is what we do. we work with a system where we can i future? yes, that is what we do. we i work with a system where we can mark people, record of what's happened. is that shared with other restaurants?— is that shared with other restaurants? ., ., ., , restaurants? no, not at this time. that might — restaurants? no, not at this time. that might be _ restaurants? no, not at this time. that might be the _ restaurants? no, not at this time. that might be the answer. - restaurants? no, not at this time. that might be the answer. if i restaurants? no, not at this time. that might be the answer. if you | that might be the answer. if you have the idea of people, say, in manchester where your restaurant is, they have booked four restaurants,

i'm not sure if we're going to yours, orthis i'm not sure if we're going to yours, or this one, with this one, if you all know, you've got to protect each other, haven't you? there are so many booking systems out there, unless they all integrate, which we know systems don't because they are vying for competition, it's not possible. i think one thing that i would say. i've genuinely considered the idea of making people pay up front. that is something some restaurants do have. i've done it going to restaurants. it is something to pay for the full food menu before you get there and then just drinks on the night. d0 get there and then 'ust drinks on the niuht. ,, ~ get there and then 'ust drinks on the niuht. ~ ., the night. do you think you would lose custom _ the night. do you think you would lose custom if _ the night. do you think you would lose custom if you _ the night. do you think you would lose custom if you did _ the night. do you think you would lose custom if you did that? it i the night. do you think you would lose custom if you did that? it is. the night. do you think you would | lose custom if you did that? it is a risk but so — lose custom if you did that? it is a risk but so is _ lose custom if you did that? it is a risk but so is not _ lose custom if you did that? it is a risk but so is not doing _ lose custom if you did that? it is a risk but so is not doing that i lose custom if you did that? it is a risk but so is not doing that in i risk but so is not doing that in some instances. if risk but so is not doing that in some instances.— risk but so is not doing that in some instances. if you are looking at the fli- some instances. if you are looking at the flip side _ some instances. if you are looking at the flip side of _ some instances. if you are looking at the flip side of that, _ some instances. if you are looking at the flip side of that, 0k, - at the flip side of that, ok, because you are a consumer facing business and you want people to enjoy your food, suppose someone has come to your restaurant, i say this cautiously because i'm sure you make great food, but supposing they have paid up front, done their thing, and they come and the meal is not what they come and the meal is not what they expected, may be, rather than they expected, may be, rather than they think it is rubbish, it isjust

not what they expected, they then in turn have given their commitment to you in advance and they might be saying, it ups their right to say, you know what, that second course you know what, that second course you serve me, not as good as it was a paper and i you serve me, not as good as it was a paperand i paid you up you serve me, not as good as it was a paper and i paid you up front, so what would you do about it? does that change the equation a little bit in terms of that? kate alluded to it before. _ bit in terms of that? kate alluded to it before, we _ bit in terms of that? kate alluded to it before, we are _ bit in terms of that? kate alluded to it before, we are a _ bit in terms of that? kate alluded to it before, we are a service i to it before, we are a service industry, we are an agile industry, we can adapt and change tack with customers when they are right in front of us. that might happen whether they have paid upfront or not, in fairness, whether they have paid upfront or not, infairness, and whether they have paid upfront or not, in fairness, and we will change, we might give them a top up on the wine can offer some complimentary cheese, things like that, there are things we can do in that, there are things we can do in that situation. taking the money up front does get rid of any risk that we would be left out of pocket. kate, simon used the word agile there. surely businesses and industries have to adapt. we were talking about the booking system. is there a thought that perhaps this information now should be shared and should be more aligned so that restaurants are better armed against

these would be non—diners? i restaurants are better armed against these would be non-diners?- these would be non-diners? i think ou have these would be non-diners? i think you have real— these would be non-diners? i think you have real gdpr _ these would be non-diners? i think you have real gdpr issues - these would be non-diners? i think you have real gdpr issues and i these would be non-diners? i think you have real gdpr issues and the | you have real gdpr issues and the legislation wouldn't allow us to be able to— legislation wouldn't allow us to be able to share customer data that we have taken — able to share customer data that we have taken for a booking purpose, amongst _ have taken for a booking purpose, amongst wider... have taken for a booking purpose, amongst wider. . .— have taken for a booking purpose, amongst wider... sorry to interrupt, ou could amongst wider... sorry to interrupt, you could have _ amongst wider... sorry to interrupt, you could have a _ amongst wider... sorry to interrupt, you could have a platform _ amongst wider... sorry to interrupt, you could have a platform that, i amongst wider... sorry to interrupt, you could have a platform that, say, you could have a platform that, say, you set up that restaurants could sign up to and know that once someone logs in and you might have someone logs in and you might have some kind of incentive as a customer to log on, you would have a central system there so they wouldn't be able to book more than one restaurant at a certain time. you would be able _ restaurant at a certain time. you would be able to _ restaurant at a certain time. you would be able to move to do something like that but certainly the industry is looking to protect its own— the industry is looking to protect its own interests and to make sure that we _ its own interests and to make sure that we can — its own interests and to make sure that we can support businesses through— that we can support businesses through what is a very difficult time _ through what is a very difficult time for— through what is a very difficult time for them at the moment, as they're _ time for them at the moment, as they're coming out of covid, facing soaring _ they're coming out of covid, facing soaring energy costs, soaring food hills, _ soaring energy costs, soaring food hills, we _ soaring energy costs, soaring food bills, we are looking to make sure that the _ bills, we are looking to make sure that the industry is as responsive as it _ that the industry is as responsive as it can— that the industry is as responsive as it can he — that the industry is as responsive as it can be to its customers, but that we _ as it can be to its customers, but that we protect business interests going _ that we protect business interests going forward. but ultimately this isjust— going forward. but ultimately this isjust about simple going forward. but ultimately this is just about simple good going forward. but ultimately this isjust about simple good manners. if you _ isjust about simple good manners. if you have — isjust about simple good manners. if you have booked a restaurant, if

ahead of the other 39 runners in the grand national a little bit later. so let us talk to somebody about all of those things, like the proverbial back of one's hand, it is jockey and part—time trainer when he is needing some extra work, patrick mullins. you will recognise the name and i will explain that in a moment. you have written in the grand national before. all those things ijust mentioned, do they make you, when trying to sleep the night before, just stay awake a little longer? i think everyone is excited to ride in the grand national, it is what you read about and see as a kid and there is no pressure in the national because so much can go wrong, in the gold cup you decide you want to be in the first three or the last five come in a grand national it is trying to be the first half for the last half, so it is more enjoyment pressure. last half, so it is more en'oyment ressure. ., ., z: ' pressure. you came fourth in 2021 behind rachael— pressure. you came fourth in 2021 behind rachael blackmore - pressure. you came fourth in 2021 behind rachael blackmore when l pressure. you came fourth in 2021 l behind rachael blackmore when she won so famously. when you are around and about the first five or ten towards the latter stages do you think this could be had, this could

two days, right on the bottom of the weight, ten stone four, so brian probably hasn't had much breakfast this morning. i think most people are worried aboutjumping the first fence, for us we are worried about starting the race and if he does that he has a fabulous chance. sounds like you have your hands full with him when you spend time with mr incredible. you with him when you spend time with mr incredible. ., ., ., ., ., incredible. you are an amateur 'ocke incredible. you are an amateur jockey and _ incredible. you are an amateur jockey and an _ incredible. you are an amateur jockey and an amateur- incredible. you are an amateur jockey and an amateur when i incredible. you are an amateur. jockey and an amateur when sam waley—cohen won last year for the first time since 1990, there is a genuine ambition, notjust a chance for everybody involved to think they could be that famous jockey whose name is remembered for everfor winning a national. that name is remembered for ever for winning a national.— name is remembered for ever for winning a national. that said, does not like formula _ winning a national. that said, does not like formula 1 _ winning a national. that said, does not like formula 1 where _ winning a national. that said, does not like formula 1 where the i not like formula 1 where the williams car isn't going to win and it is always a red bull, there are 40 it is always a red bull, there are a0 horses and anything can happen and you need so much luck. a horse fell in front of rachel and went left and took out the horse beside her, if it had gone right it would have taken her out, a horse won at 100-1, have taken her out, a horse won at 100—1, every other horse got brought to a standstill. once you are in you

beautiful. as usual, matt is raising the bar and he'sjust as usual, matt is raising the bar and he's just competitive, as usual, matt is raising the bar and he'sjust competitive, matt taylor. just competitive. and with a little bit of help. it is the wonderful weather watchers, what a view to start saturday morning, this is the west coast of scotland, matching the blue skies at aintree at the moment where we could see a bit more cloud later on. it should stay dry, an improvement on recent days. i wish we could say that everywhere but it is a dark scene on the platform at hastings right now and that cloud extends quite widely across parts of eastern england. here is the latest satellite view. you can see the white on the view from space, patches of white, there is fog in the south. clear skies for the vast majority. on the cloud, especially across east anglia and the south—east we have some rain. it is edging westwards, the whole mass of cloud is going to edge westwards

through the day but gradually break up. we will see the rain peter out across east anglia and the south—east but there will be some showers later. in the west to the north long spells of sunshine cloud building across north—west england, the midlands, down towards the likes of somerset, hampshire and dorset as it moves west. can't rule out the odd shower. in the east of england while you will see sunshine come out there will be some heavy and thundery showers in the early part of the afternoon. most of you will be dry through the afternoon and feeling pleasantly warm after what has been quite a chilly start in western areas with some frost around, 12—15 c. finish the day with some more cloud pushing into northern ireland. it is notjust the racing at aintree taking place today, sport across the country, and all eyes in cardiff are on the big clash between wales and england in the women's six nations. sunny skies overhead and just a gentle breeze, it will feel a little on the cool side in the shade but not too bad at all for the stage in the year. and a fine evening to come but in northern ireland expect rain to develop this

evening and with that increasing cloud spreading to parts of scotland, western parts of england and wales with patchy rain and drizzle late in the night. the clearest skies in eastern england this time, the reverse of last night, so maybe a touch of frost, but elsewhere certainly frost free as we start sunday morning. the big picture for sunday, weather fronts in the north and west, bringing increased cloud, patchy rain and drizzle, but also indicating that we are switching wind direction into a more southerly direction, this show milder air pushing its way in. even though we have lots of cloud around on sunday compared with today, and with some grizzly, grey conditions in the west with patchy rain and drizzle it will be a mild day. we will see the rain and drizzle continuing for one or two around the hills and coasts but some will brighten up, eastern coasts will see some sunshine, northern scotland and northern ireland too does here and northern scotland where we see the highest temperatures, 17 degrees, and in the spots we could get a little higher on monday, 18 celsius with increased amounts of sunshine coming through. naga and charlie,

the week ahead by and large looks dry. back to you. thank you, matt. we're about to meet three women who havejust returned home to the uk after taking up the job of a lifetime. they were picked from 6,000 people who applied in response to an advert to help run the world's most remote post office — in antarctica. munaza rafiq takes a look at their journey. it was a job advert not for the faint hearted. claire, marie, natalie and lucy answered it. and in november they arrived in one of the coldest places on earth, antarctica. their new home, port lockroy, home to the world's most remote post office, and not to mention more than 1,000 gentoo penguins. so we've arrived at port lockroy. there's penguins everywhere. theirjob for the next five months

expect to see scenes like this again over the early may bank holiday as the nhs braces itself for another wave of nursing strikes across much of england. this time around, staff in a&e and intensive care will walk out as well after members of the nurses union rejected a pay offer negotiated by their own leaders. clearly our nurses took historic action by going on to picket lines after 106 years. the offer that was put on the table by government was less than historic, so now we need to get down to make a meaningful, realistic pay offer to make sure that we retain the nurses we've got, recruit more nurses into the profession, and bring the nhs back from the brink that this government has sent it towards. jessica collins, a paediatric nurse from cambridgeshire, was one of those who voted against the deal. thisjust isn't the pay restoration that we asked for. in fact, it's nowhere near,

and i think there's a lot of disappointment in the unions for trying to encourage us to accept it. it just feels like we're backing down so, yeah, i didn't really hesitate on my vote. the deal on the table would have meant a 5% pay rise for this year, plus an extra one—ff sum of at least £1655 to top up last year's salary. the vote was close, with 54% rejecting the offer and 46% backing it. clint cooper, a nurse in yorkshire, was one of those in favour. absolutely gutted. there's nothing i can say more than that. but i care about the nhs and understand why my colleagues have rejected it, but i stand by my word — i will not leave my patients. but ambulance crews and other staff who are members of a second union, unison, did accept the same pay deal. over the coming weeks, other unions representing more paramedics, call handlers and physiotherapists

will be voting as well. ministers say they'll wait to see those results before deciding how to respond. all this comes asjunior doctors in england finish their 96—hour strike. with nurses soon back on the picket lines as well, it seems inevitable the nhs is heading for months of fresh disruption. jim reed, bbc news. we can speak now to our reporter, simonjones. a very good morning to you, simon. immediately now upon the news of the royal college of nursing vote against, the clock is ticking, isn't it? we look ahead to the 30th of april and questions are being asked about what the effects will be. yes. about what the effects will be. yes, and hospital— about what the effects will be. yes, and hospital bosses _ about what the effects will be. yes, and hospital bosses already having to make _ and hospital bosses already having to make preparations for a new strike _ to make preparations for a new strike action. they were this morning _ strike action. they were this morning breathing a sigh of relief that a _ morning breathing a sigh of relief that a four—day strike byjunior doctors — that a four—day strike byjunior doctors came to an end. that

jack teixeira faces up to 15—years in prison if convicted of sharing the information, including details of the war in ukraine, with other members of the chatroom on the website discord. our correspondent barbara plett usher sent this update from boston. the suspect, jack teixeira, appeared in the courthouse behind me and we heard more details about how the investigators tracked him down. that was through the discord messaging platform on which the documents were posted. so they checked out his billing records and they interviewed some of his social media friends, and it was clarified that he does have top secret clearance because of his role as an it specialist in the intelligence unit of the air national guard. but there are these continuing questions, of course, about how he was able to leak classified documents over time without being detected, and there's an investigation into that. president biden has also said that he's ordered the military and intelligence communities to take more steps to secure sensitive information, although he also praised law enforcement for its rapid action. teixeira's parents were in the courtroom. they didn't speak to the media, but there was a brief exchange with their son.

his stepfather said, "i love you, jack". and he responded, "i love you, too, dad". he did not make a plea, and now he is going to be detained until the next court hearing, which is on wednesday. barbara plett usher reporting there. president macron says within the next two days, he will enact controversial proposals to raise the pension age in france from 62 to 64. protests against the changes have been held since january, but france's highest legal authority has now ruled in favour of the reforms. joe inwood sent this report from paris. there is still a police presence outside the constitutional council here in france, in paris, and that's because that building is where one of the most significant decisions in modern french political history was made. there, a body of french grandees decided that the controversial pension reforms of president emmanuel macron meaning that french people would work until 64, not 62

were in line with the constitution. now, i was in the crowds just down the road when that news of the announcement came through and there was a chorus of boos and hisses. there was a real anger there. and that is when the trouble started. i can still smell on my clothes, the burning of the the bins and of the flares that were going off. now, the protesters, their plan was to try and get here, but they haven't been able to because of a very, very heavy police presence. there were baton charges. there were hundreds, thousands of gendarmes, of french police trying to keep them away from this area. but that doesn't mean it's been a peaceful night here in paris. there have been fires. i've just been watching videos of live fires taking place, being set off around the city as the protesters express their anger about these reforms. but i think, at the moment, that's all they're able to do to express anger rather than change them, because the reforms probably will go through and french people in the future will have to work to an older age. joe inwith therefore that report from paris. ——joe inward there

if the children come, they're hungry, they need food, we're here. it's really important that we see our community. and if we see the children, we know they're happy. if we've had a really tough week this week with people coming in, finding it really hard this week, but as long as they go out with a smile, it means everything. two of which have been enjoyed by caroline and her ten—year—old son. ijust had a hot dog and i had the pack of crisps and an apple. why do you like coming here? for the sports, for the food. just so i can play like football and friends. # welcome to glenn's kitchen. # well, i'm doing some fried dumpling for the kids kids for this summer. five miles away in the centre of bristol, glenn is cooking lunch for a0 children and chicken for this summer. it's very important

that the kids eat properly. parents can't even afford to buy things, but by having the summer school is good because at least it helps them to to eat properly, you know? and i think that's great. they've just been ice skating and have worked up an appetite. most of these children are on free school meals and have been referred by their teachers. obviously, when the gates shut, you know, the tap is turned off on the free school meal and those kids or families that are already accessing food banks obviously have the added pressure of finding that additional meal a day. we get to have great fun and we get to go ice skating make food. i had a blast. most children are back to school next week, but many parents told me today they are already budgeting for the next holidays in six weeks' time. fiona lamdin, bbc news. joining us now are ema wilkes from neo community, a charity which provides local communities with food assistance and kala mandviwala from cracking good food,

it's been four years since the devastating fire at notre dame cathedral in paris, which engulfed the roof and spire in flames and there were fears that the entire building might be destroyed. when president macron promised to have the cathedral rebuilt and re—opened by 2024, many thought he was being wildly optimistic — but as hugh schofield reports, the operation is advancing pretty much on schedule. four years ago, the world watched aghast as fire devoured notre dame. and the terrible climax — the spire of the cathedral crashing to its destruction. the spire has become a symbol, which at a site in eastern france, they've been rebuilding exactly as the original. thousands of oaks from ancient forests have been felled and shaped, and now the first part, the massive base is ready for assembly — bang on time. we have said we will do this in five years, so our reputation is at stake. we must unite all our efforts,

all our knowledge, all our savoir faire to reach this goal. inside the cathedral, it's still a sci—fi film decor of metal. scaffolding reaches up to the vast hole which was once the roof. but everywhere, craftsmen and women are at their work of architectural healing. one of the big tasks has been treating the stained glass. like the spire, these windows are not in fact medieval but 19th century. unlike the spire, they were saved. firefighters knew not to spray them with water or they'd have shattered. the disaster, for them, ironically, is an opportunity to remove 200 years of dirt accumulation. translation: it's a human grease from the breath i of millions of worshippers, plus the soot from the candles and the stains left by condensation. it has all left its mark.

it may still look like an unimaginably complicated task, but in fact the reconstruction of notre—dame has been advancing much quicker than the doubters ever thought was possible just just in the last few days, the base of the spire which we saw being assembled earlier, has been transported here to paris and hoisted into place. soon they'll be building upwards, and by the end of the year it's confidently expected that there'll be a new feature on the paris skyline — or rather a very old one, the spire of notre dame. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. there are fears of further strain on the nhs after the biggest nurses' union, the rcn, voted for more strike action after rejecting the government's latest pay offer. for the first time, some critical care services, such as intensive care, will not be staffed. we can speak now to rachel power, chief executive of the patients' association. thank you forjoining us. that will strike fear amongst many people who are listening this morning, watching

us this morning. critical care services such as what will be affected?— services such as what will be affected? . ., , ., services such as what will be affected? a ., , ., ., affected? we are still waiting to find out exactly _ affected? we are still waiting to find out exactly what _ affected? we are still waiting to find out exactly what is - affected? we are still waiting to i find out exactly what is happening, but we heard this morning that it will affect emergency care, intensive care treatment, this can be really worrying for patients out there who have already had a very tough time through the pandemic and through the last winter. the patients association's focus is always on the patient and then receiving the best health and care outcomes that they can do. in terms of what you know at this moment in time, what should patients who are either on a waiting list or who have something booked already, what advice should they be taken now? what can you offer them in terms of assurance? right now we have been assured that anyone who has an appointment needs to attend for that appointment needs to attend for that appointment unless they hear differently.

so we would encourage patients to continue to return. a recent survey showed that those over 50% of the patients we spoke to had had appointments cancelled and it's really important that there is a really important that there is a really good, clear communication with patients so they understand what is happening. because the impact of waiting for treatment of on patients is really difficult, with patients reporting not being able to continue with their day—to—day lives and the impact that there has on their mental health, loneliness and isolation. harare loneliness and isolation. how frustrating — loneliness and isolation. how frustrating for _ loneliness and isolation. how frustrating for you _ loneliness and isolation. how frustrating for you is - loneliness and isolation. how frustrating for you is the i frustrating for you is the situation? it frustrating for you is the situation?— frustrating for you is the situation? , , ., ., ., situation? it is frustrating for all aatients. situation? it is frustrating for all patients- and — situation? it is frustrating for all patients. and we _ situation? it is frustrating for all patients. and we really - situation? it is frustrating for all patients. and we really call- situation? it is frustrating for all patients. and we really call on i situation? it is frustrating for all i patients. and we really call on the government to show clear dealership now and the unions to get back round the table and stay there until they find a solution. because patients are having a really tough time. we do appreciate that health care professionals have worked really hard during the pandemic but every day patients are waiting for treatment.—

secretary of state injanuary, asking him to really look at the crisis and what is happening in the nhs. we have seen the long ambulance weights. we have seen the delays and discharging medically well people so we are concerned about patient safety, yes. we are concerned about patient safety. yes-— safety, yes. what has been the im aact safety, yes. what has been the impact of _ safety, yes. what has been the impact of the — safety, yes. what has been the impact of the strikes _ safety, yes. what has been the impact of the strikes we - safety, yes. what has been the impact of the strikes we have i safety, yes. what has been the i impact of the strikes we have seen so far on waiting lists?— so far on waiting lists? people are aaoin to so far on waiting lists? people are going to be _ so far on waiting lists? people are going to be waiting _ so far on waiting lists? people are going to be waiting longer. - so far on waiting lists? people are going to be waiting longer. that's| going to be waiting longer. that's not acceptable. i going to be waiting longer. that's not acceptable.— not acceptable. i could have predicted — not acceptable. i could have predicted that _ not acceptable. i could have predicted that before - not acceptable. i could have predicted that before the i not acceptable. i could have i predicted that before the strikes happen. what have you seen and what evidence do you have now? iterate happen. what have you seen and what evidence do you have now?_ evidence do you have now? we have heard from — evidence do you have now? we have heard from patients _ evidence do you have now? we have heard from patients where _ evidence do you have now? we have heard from patients where the i heard from patients where the treatment has been cancelled. we have heard from patients where they haven't heard what is happening next. so definitely there is, and it's waiting for preventative as well as curative treatment that is having the impact on their lives. rachel power, chief executive of the patients association, thank you for your time. 9:35am on a saturday morning. it is

one of those days, like a calendar day in sports, where a lot of people who may have little interest in horse racing across the rest of the year, it is like a market day, grand national day. matt was here yesterday and it was quite rainy and it's hard to get into the spirit, it was ladies day but i'm not sure those who were there were in the spirit of things but now the weather is getting there and matt will bring us an update later but now the weather is better i think it is easier to get into the mood. that is a magnificent sculpture behind you. hi, hugh. hello, yes, getting in the mood is a slightly nebulous phrase but i'm attempting to do that, just because i brought the sunshine with me, it is clearly, as matt will tell you, down to me that the weather has improved significantly for grand national day and a significant date particularly for the statue because it's 50 years since red rum's first of three victories in 1973, one of the greatest races at the grand national, one of the greatest races

of all time those of us old enough, i'm not quite, but if you are, you might remember the famous radio commentary as well. there will not be another race like this for 100 years. we are halfway though to that 100 years and we have not had red rum against chris, google it, have a watch, it is entertaining. 50 years is significant for this lady alongside me, linda smith. white. linda white- _ alongside me, linda smith. white. linda white. i — alongside me, linda smith. white. linda white. i have _ alongside me, linda smith. white. linda white. i have been _ alongside me, linda smith. white. linda white. i have been told i alongside me, linda smith. white. linda white. i have been told to i linda white. i have been told to call you and see linda, and why, and how many people in this incredible place know you by aunty linda? most of merseyside! _ place know you by aunty linda? most of merseyside! not _ place know you by aunty linda? most of merseyside! not even _ place know you by aunty linda? most of merseyside! not even just - place know you by aunty linda? most of merseyside! not even just here, . of merseyside! not even 'ust here, the whole of — of merseyside! not even just here, the whole of merseyside? - of merseyside! not even just here, the whole of merseyside? we - of merseyside! not even just here, the whole of merseyside? we are i of merseyside! not even just here, i the whole of merseyside? we are all together and we do the duties, so obviously they all know me as aunty linda. you have been working in first aid for 50 years. you have been with st john�*s ambulance for a significant time, you have worked on the liverpool kop and been here for how long working the grand national?

well, the last 25 years i think. that is a significant portion of the 181i that is a significant portion of the 184 years, congratulations on that melinda. what is your daily routine when you come here? you have a special responsibility, haven't you? i'm in charge of recovering the jockeys when they fall off. i place all of our first aid members out on the track by the fences and make sure they are safe and they understand that they know what to do. and then we are first on the scene when somebody comes off the horse. and uppishly then the paramedics are there and the ambulance service. so we are the first people to see the jockey as such. first people to see the 'ockey as such. �* . , first people to see the 'ockey as such. �* ., , , . , first people to see the 'ockey as such. ~ ., , , . , ., such. and we have seen pictures all the time if — such. and we have seen pictures all the time if we _ such. and we have seen pictures all the time if we are _ such. and we have seen pictures all the time if we are watching - such. and we have seen pictures all the time if we are watching the - such. and we have seen pictures allj the time if we are watching the race of the ambulance going along side for the jockeys of the ambulance going along side for thejockeys and they of the ambulance going along side for the jockeys and they are by each fence as well. i know you've had a situation where a jockey is particularly my that are to have fallen off his horse. they are all like that, quite a lot of them. the?

to take people away. on these big matches. so we are busy. but it goes over very quickly. find matches. so we are busy. but it goes over very quickly-— over very quickly. and you have this extraordinary _ over very quickly. and you have this extraordinary history, _ over very quickly. and you have this extraordinary history, linda, - over very quickly. and you have this extraordinary history, linda, of- extraordinary history, linda, of being at these wonderful sporting events. but you have spent a lot of your time teaching and helping others through the early stages of their career. how much pride does that give you? t their career. how much pride does that give you?— that give you? i love it. especially as i do schools _ that give you? i love it. especially as i do schools as _ that give you? i love it. especially as i do schools as well— that give you? i love it. especially as i do schools as well and - that give you? i love it. especially as i do schools as well and go - that give you? i love it. especially| as i do schools as well and go into primary schools and senior schools to teach first aid, and the little ones love to have a go and things like and ask you questions. the one thint that like and ask you questions. the one thing that we _ like and ask you questions. the one thing that we do _ like and ask you questions. the one thing that we do have _ like and ask you questions. the one thing that we do have to _ like and ask you questions. the one thing that we do have to mention, l thing that we do have to mention, linda, is that your son, look at that eye roll, he is rather bullied you into having this chat with us on breakfast, so have you forgiven him yet and is it ok? t’tgie breakfast, so have you forgiven him yet and is it ok?— yet and is it ok? i've got to now, haven't i? _ yet and is it ok? i've got to now, haven't i? at _ yet and is it ok? i've got to now, haven't i? at the _ yet and is it ok? i've got to now, haven't i? at the end _ yet and is it ok? i've got to now, haven't i? at the end of- yet and is it ok? i've got to now, haven't i? at the end of the - yet and is it ok? i've got to now, haven't i? at the end of the day. yet and is it ok? i've got to now, | haven't i? at the end of the day it is very important to stjohn�*s ambulance that we are doing this anyway, and gives more information

everywhere of arsenal from two or three years ago and the work they were doing the same direction and everyone was probablyjudging them, i remember the negative headlines club, owner, manager, and now it's a fantastic model, so i think we have to understand when you are in a process and a bit of a project that there will be moments where you have to dig in and people are going you are doing the right thing or not, so i don't think it's important for us to focus on too much opinion. the other newly installed manager is dean smith at leicester, he has quite a task on his hand having taken over the team second from bottom of the premier league, fighting against relegation, and next up for them in the late game in the premier league is manchester city. the former norwich and aston villa boss has taken on a side second from bottom in the premier league, after just seven wins from 30 matches, although he's seen enough to believe he can get them out of trouble. looked at the squad, i looked at the fixtures, i looked at the squad,

i looked at the fixtures, and i felt there were games there to be won, there were points there to grab where we could actually climb out of the bottom three. it's probably a season that i've not seen before in the premier league where nine teams have all been involved at one stage in the relegation side of the league. and ifeel the more that we can keep in that as well, i feel it is certainly not insurmountable to getting out of the trouble that we are in. expect an exciting afternoon at cardiff arms park. england and wales are level at the top of the women's six nations table, so we're expecting an entertaining match between the two sides at cardiff arms park this afternoon. they are back after a week off in the tournament. england are favourites — they've won the title four times in a row, they lead the world rankings, and they've enjoyed big wins over italy and scotland. that is ahead of that sell—out in cardiff later. that is ahead of that sell—out in cardiff later. ronnie o'sullivan has refused to say how many world titles he could win,

on the eve of snooker�*s most prestigious event. he's level on seven with stephen hendry, so one more would be a record. he begins the defence of his crown at the crucible today. it would be an eighth title. he begins his campaign later today and he is not at all bothered! i don't know what path my career will take at any given time. i'm happy, i'm enjoying my life. just take it as it comes. just try not to look too far ahead. i've done it for about three years when i won iii matches on the bounce. that was pretty hard to do, so it can be done. butjust enjoy it. for me it's just good to still be playing. ronnie o'sullivan is extremely relaxed about his attempts to win an eighth world snooker title. that is in yorkshire. and on merseyside here at 5:15pm it is the grand national. and if anybody wants to get into the history books to the same extent as red rum did, they will be remembered

for a long time afterwards. certainly well. it has been a delight to spending time with you down there today at aintree. enjoy and it was also a delight meeting linda. i quite liked that you appear to be saying thank you to the horse then because he's gone. hold on a minute! whew, are you still there, or have you just walked out of shot? don't leave me hanging! there you go, he would never leave me hanging. the thought that my long face... i'm not allowed to comment on things like that, whew, i'll get into trouble! see you later! 9:45am. matt has been name checking lots of parts of the uk, and i'm going to let you name check this latest picture. gwynedd, north—west wales. a few more clouds here but not many, some cumulus clouds but otherwise sunny start to the morning, as it is

for many of you, i will take you to the south—east of england where skies are completely different now, bit of a soggy morning run in the park in hampstead. but i spy a break in the cloud, there is a sign that things will brighten up if you have the grey conditions at the moment. looking at the view from space, chose the picture nicely, clear skies in northern and western areas, patchy fog here and there, this rain worked on overnight, worked eastwards, it will push westwards now, so if you're in the midlands, north—west england, down towards somerset, parts of dorset, it will cloud over a little bit but the cloud over a little bit but the cloud is breaking up as it goes, and the rain that we have seen on it is continuing to fizzle away. the radar chart from the last few hours shows the blue colours, the rain becoming lighter at patchier, mainly confined to the south—east corner, so many of you go through the morning drive, the cloud are starting to move further west, the cloud are starting to move furtherwest, but the cloud are starting to move further west, but as i said it will break up at times, and so we will

still see some sunny spells. couldn't rule out an isolated shower on the pennines, down through the midlands this morning. but it's across eastern counties of england where we have the grey skies at the moment, the sunshine comes out but it could just be enough to spark one or two heavy, may be thundery showers. the emphasis for the vast majority, it is a dry day, reasonably sunny and milder than recent days, i2—15 c the highs. looking good at aintree with a bit of fair weather cloud in the afternoon and looking good in cardiff also for the big clash between england and wales. although it will be a little fresh if you are on the shaded side of the stand but light wind is out there and a fine evening to come too. for most of us, a fine evening, showers in the east fading, but northern ireland quickly turning wet, cloud increases tonight across much of the uk, but it is in western areas where we will see some rain or drizzle to take us into tomorrow morning. that means tonight in the west it will not be as chilly as last night. eastern areas by contrast, a chilly night with clearer skies, could be a touch of frost around three parts of east anglia. but the big picture for

sunday shows our weather front which we will see bringing more cloud across the uk and switch to a southerly direction so milder on sunday. a lot more cloud tomorrow, a few brighter breaks here and there, damp and drizzly across western areas to begin with becoming confined to the hills and coasts later. but once the sun comes out it should feel pleasant, the sun a bit more limited than today but in northern ireland and around the moray coast and around inverness it could be up to 17 or 18, but for all of you temperatures in the mid—teens and a fine day to come on monday, if anything for one or two that temperatures could be higher. naga and charlie, enjoy your weekend. thanks very much. well pronounced, by the way. who sent that picture in? | phil, in? phil, the weather watcher. double d means th.

you can't catch him out! former footballer turned pundit, ian wright is famous for his years playing at arsenal and crystal palace — but credits his success with the support he received while at school. he has returned to his old primary in south—east london to open a new football pitch, which he hopes will give local cihldren the same opportunities. which he hopes will give local cihldren the same opportunities he had. helen hoddinottjoined him on the special visit. it was here at turnham academy that ian wright says he was given opportunities as a schoolboy, which changed his life forever. and it's a place that's full of memories. i remember we used to have to rush at break time because the goals, there was two goals, and if you didn't get there in time, you wouldn't be able to get a goal. so you'd have to kick the ball up against the wall, which no one wanted to do. you wanted to score in a goal. so i remember playing a lot of football in that playground. ian's talked about finding school tough, but he was taught by a teacher here who he often credits with being the reason he's where he is today.

mr sidney pigdon, once he saw that i could play football and you know, i mean, he really encouraged me in that way. but the main thing for me was how he taught me how to read and write properly and gave me that kind of attention that i needed at the time. he really, really gave me the attention i needed and gave me the confidence i needed to kick on at school. oh, my god. look, we're on it. ian's here opening the rocky and wrighty arena, a brand new community football pitch for the area he and his childhood friend david rocastle, grew up in. it's mainlyjust to have a safe space. it was vitally important as well to get the floodlights so they can play at night. so it's a time at night where, you know, normally they may be up to mischief. they can be here. i think i'll make good memories playing and training on there. i i like football because it's a cool, i nice sport to play and when you get into it, you might get stuck in it and you can't stop playing it. i i feel like i finally got to see him because he's been my inspiration

for since i was young, because i've been supporting arsenal since i was younger. david rocastle died when he was just 33 years old. he and ian played for arsenal together, and a mural of the two of them by local artist lionel stanhope is a key feature of the new pitch. i'm very proud and emotional, actually. it's nice for the family and doing it with wrighty is lovely as well. we're super excited for this initiative. i we think it's a great pitch- for the young kids to be out on. as we said, they're already out there. i so yeah, really, really excited to see what it| comes of it. and hopefully helpl the community out. yeah, just hopefully it will help the community and the kids. it will be great to see them just enjoying it really. for now, the rocky and wrighty arena is officially open, ready to give young footballers in brockley the opportunity to follow their idols in their footsteps. helen hoddinott, bbc news. part of the line—up
