good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today... will falling petrol prices help slow the rising cost of living? we'll find out when the latest inflation figures come out this morning. there are hopes inflation could full below 10% today but food and energy prices remain high. i am at this wholesale market in west london to find out what it means for the cost

of living. the snp treasurer, colin beattie, has been released without charge, pending further investigation, after being questioned by police examining the party's finances. children conceived as a result of rape will soon be legally recognised as victims in england and wales. you're questioning everything about yourself. looking in the mirror, almost like i could see the man who raped my mother looking back at me. in sport, feeling the blues as reality hits. madrid knock chelsea out of the champions league — their last hope of silverware — and with it goes their hopes of qualifying for europe next season. stay tuned later as we meet the newly crowned junior world surfing champion. not a newly crowned junior world surfing champion. nota hawaiian, nota californian, not australian, he is a proud cornish man.— californian, not australian, he is a proud cornish man. good morning. a chill start proud cornish man. good morning. a chilly start to — proud cornish man. good morning. a chilly start to the _ proud cornish man. good morning. a chilly start to the day _ proud cornish man. good morning. a chilly start to the day across - chilly start to the day across scotland _ chilly start to the day across scotland and northern ireland. here is where _ scotland and northern ireland. here is where we see the larger share of the sunshine. one or two showers in

england _ the sunshine. one or two showers in england and — the sunshine. one or two showers in england and wales pushing west. it will brighten any east but still a brisk_ will brighten any east but still a brisk easterly wind. all the details later in— brisk easterly wind. all the details later in the programme. it's wednesday, the 19th of april. we'll find out the latest inflation figures for the uk in an hour, showing how fast prices have been rising over the past year. they're expected to show that a standard basket of goods cost nearly 10% more in march than it did 12 months ago. but with falling petrol prices potentially helping to bring the rate of overall inflation down. with more details, here's our business reporter ben king. at this dairy in stockport, they try to take a glass half full approach. but everything they buy has been getting more expensive and that means their prices have been going up, too. you don't want to always be doom and gloom, you try and look to the best of things. but, at the moment, we don't see anything changing really because your production costs are still getting higher, our energy costs are still going higher.

don't get me wrong, we've plateaued a little bit, but our raw consumer pricing, machinery costs, purchasing goods, glass bottles, crates, you name it. nothing seems to be stopping at the moment for us. milk, and food in general, has been rapidly becoming more expensive, contributing to the cost—of—living crisis, which has pushed so many to the brink. but it's slowing down. in february, prices were 10.4% up on the previous year. for march, that's expected to be around 9.8%. the actual number is published at 7 am. cheaper petrol will help to bring the march figure down. and if gas and electricity bills fall in coming months as expected, that will help to bring inflation down towards the target level of 2%. good news up to a point. doesn't mean that the cost of the goods and the services that you're buying in the shops has come down, itjust means that they're going up a bit less rapidly. those energy bills for many people will still be higher

than they were at the onset of the war in ukraine, and food prices will still likely be much higher. today's number will also be very closely watched by the bank of england. it's theirjob to bring inflation back under control. and if it isn't falling fast enough, they may have to put interest rates up again. so today's figure will give a sense ofjust how hard it will be to put a lid on the era of soaring prices. ben king, bbc news. we get those figures at seven o'clock and ben will run through them for us. don't forget there's more help and advice with the rising cost of living on our website at bbc.co.uk/news, where you will find a section called "cost of living: tackling it together." that has all the links you need. the us television network fox news has agreed to pay nearly $800 million to an election technology company, which it falsely accused of helping to rig the 2020

presidential election in favour ofjoe biden. the company — dominion — had originally demanded $1.6 billion, saying the fox news reports had caused enormous damage. fox news' owner rupert murdoch agreed to settle the case just a day before the trial was due to begin. six people are being treated for injuries after they were attacked by a pair of dogs in birmingham. pupils at a nearby primary school were locked into the building for an hour after lessons had finished to keep them safe until the animals were caught. a 28—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of possessing a dog which was dangerously out of control. the treasurer of the scottish national party, colin beattie, who was arrested by police investigating the party's finances, has been released without charge, pending further investigation. the 71—year—old is the second figure in the party to be detained as part of the inquiry. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. nick, it's proving to be

a challenging time for the snp? isn't it just! colin isn't itjust! colin bt is not a household name. he has been an msp for a decade, the treasure of the party for several years with a small break. i think we can show you pictures of him at the moment. he was released without charge last night. not a lot we can say about that because it is still alive case. there is a real sense a process around the snp. it was just a couple of weeks ago the husband of nicola sturgeon, the former chief executive of the party, was arrested as well. he was released without charge. nicola sturgeon's home was searched. the party has had to deny claims it is facing big financial problems.

there is a sense this is engulfing the party. i have been chatting to kate forbes, who was narrowly defeated in the leadership election which took place a few weeks ago. she has been telling the bbc the party has to act quickly to deal with all of this. she said recent developments had been mind blowing in the party had reached a really critical moment.— in the party had reached a really critical moment. have a listen. we need decisive _ critical moment. have a listen. we need decisive and _ critical moment. have a listen. we need decisive and quick _ critical moment. have a listen. we need decisive and quick action - critical moment. have a listen. we need decisive and quick action or l critical moment. have a listen. we i need decisive and quick action or we will be _ need decisive and quick action or we will be in _ need decisive and quick action or we will be in trouble. i think right now— will be in trouble. i think right now people are watching with astonishment that they want to see leadership in dealing with it and resolving — leadership in dealing with it and resolving it. leadership in dealing with it and resolving it— leadership in dealing with it and resolving it. that is kate forbes. she also warned _ resolving it. that is kate forbes. she also warned voters - resolving it. that is kate forbes. she also warned voters will- resolving it. that is kate forbes. she also warned voters will be i she also warned voters will be watching this extremely closely. you get a sense of how worried some people in the snp are about what is going on at the moment. humza yousaf, the new snp leader, was

trying his big reset yesterday before the arrest was announced. that completely overshadowed his statement in a scottish parliament, where he announced some policy changes, like parking bottle recycling scheme that was due to come in. that has been delayed by several months. it is proving very hard for humza yousaf to talk about things like policy because of all the problems his party is facing. you can listen to nick's programme leading scotland where? tonight on bbc radio 4 at 8:30. the former boss of the business group the cbi says his reputation has been totally destroyed after being fired over complaints about his behaviour. the cbi says tony danker was dismissed on strong legal grounds. he acknowledged he had made some staff feel "very uncomfortable", but says he's been wrongly associated with separate claims of serious offences that allegedly occurred at the organisation before hejoined. i want to apologise to anybody

at the cbi that i upset, that i made uncomfortable. that's on me. but i have had a week of coverage saying, "tony danker sacked in rape scandal". and these stories have been about rape and sexual assault and cocaine and bullying. none of that was anything to do with me, and it was all before my time. an 84—year—old man in the us state of missouri has been charged with first—degree assault after shooting a black teenager who mistakenly rang his doorbell. ralph yarl — who is 16 — went to the wrong address in kansas city while trying to collect his younger brothers. andrew lester, who is white, was originally released without charge but detained again following protests. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal reports. ralph yarl is a 16—year—old high school student.

described by his teachers as a kind boy and a musical prodigy. last week, he went to pick up his twin brothers from a friend's place, but accidentally went to the wrong house and rang the bell. he was shot twice. and while he was standing there, his brothers didn't run outside. but he got a couple of bullets in his body instead of a couple of twins coming out and giving him a hug. the teenager was taken to hospital but is now at home recovering. the man accused of shooting him, 84—year—old andrew lester, has been charged over the attack. the number 16 has been graffitied on to andrew lester's house, ralph yarl�*s age. mr lester, an old man, said he was acting in self—defence and there are controversial laws in this state called stand your ground, which allow citizens to take action if they feel there's a threat. mr lester said it was late at night, he thought it was a break in and he was scared of ralph yarl�*s tall height. but ralph's family believe it wasn't his height that caused

mr lester to reach for his gun. many believe this is a hate crime because ralph is black. hundreds gathered outside the city's courthouse calling for an investigation. i live 5 minutes away from the house where everything happened. and i have little siblings. i have nieces and nephews who live in these neighbourhoods. and to know that one of my neighbours potentially could have shot one of my own just — it hurts me a lot. this was a hate crime because the shooter was motivated by the race of the victim. now he doesn't have to hate the person to do that, he can target young ralph just because of his race. that makes it a hate crime. it's not a hate crime under missouri statute, but it's a hate crime under the constitution. how's ralph doing? how's he doing? ralph is doing amazingly well, considering. i'm so blown away by his physical recovery that we can get lost in the fact that he still has a long way to go to recover. missouri is a very pro—gun state with no licences or background checks required to own a weapon.

but there's shock at another innocent victim of us gun violence — this time a teenager just ringing a doorbell. nomia iqbal, bbc news, missouri. at least one person has died and five others were injured following the collapse of a multistorey car park in new york. emergency teams were checking the site for further casualties when they were pulled back because of unstable conditions. but authorities now believe everyone who was in the building has been accounted for. the cause of the collapse is under investigation. a planned ceasefire in the sudanese capital, khartoum, has failed to hold. the 24—hour pause in hostilities was due to start yesterday evening but fighting was reported near the airport, which is surrounded by residential areas. nearly 200 people have been killed since saturday when two rival military factions began fighting. one in six children in england are living in overcrowded accommodation, according to new research by the national

housing federation, which says that a chronic lack of social housing is limiting the life chances of hundreds of thousands of young people. the government says its spending £11.5 billion on the affordable homes programme to increase the housing supply. with more details, here's our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan. brimstone house in east london was built to accommodate single people. but it's currently home to nearly 60 families in temporary and emergency accommodation — many living in overcrowded conditions. caitlin and her daughter evie have been here a year. they share a bed most of the time. sometimes i actually have to sleep, like, on the floor because she takes up the whole bed space. and if i wake her up, i can scooch her up a little bit. she will wake up. and then it makes it quite difficult for her tojust, you know, go back to sleep. the national housing federation say one in six children in england are living

in overcrowded accommodation. they calculate that more than 300,000 of them are forced to share a bed with other family members. children from ethnic minorities are three times more likely to live in overcrowded homes. these children are feeling the huge impacts, including to their mental health, their physical health, to their development and also to their wellbeing. they're embarrassed to bring friends over. there's nowhere for them to do their homework. the dangers of living in overcrowded housing were highlighted last month when a man died in this east london flat. at least 18 people had been sharing the two—bed property. campaigners say a chronic lack of social housing is to blame for overcrowding. michael buchanan, bbc news. the royal british legion has revealed its new remembrance poppy, which is now free of plastic. the new poppy — which will be available for this year's appealfrom 0ctober — is made entirely of paper and can be recycled through ordinary household collections.

it's the first time the poppy has been revamped in 28 years. the american popstar aaron carter accidentally drowned in his bathtub because of the drugs he had taken, according to a us coroner's report. carter, the younger brother of the backstreet boys' nick carter, was found dead at his home in california in november. the autopsy has now revealed that his death was caused by drowning due to the effects of sedatives he had taken, and gas he had inhaled. the kate bush single running up that hill has been nominated for a prestigious song—writing award — 38 years after it was released. # running up that road, running up that hill # running up that building.# it's in the running

for the "most performed song" at the ivor novello awards. the track was first released in 1985 but had a resurgence last summer after it was used in the netflix show, strangerthings. a whole new audience! sky watchers in alaska have been treated to an unusual spectacle — take a look at this. the spiral baffled those on the lookout for the northern lights but the mystery was soon solved. it's believed the formation was caused by excess fuel that had been released from a spacex rocket that launched from california. it is spectacular, isn't it? it doesn't look real, does it? carroll has the weather for us this morning. carroll has the weather for us this morninr. , , carroll has the weather for us this mornin.. , , ,, . ., morning. this is quite spectacular. yesterday. — morning. this is quite spectacular. yesterdav. for— morning. this is quite spectacular. yesterday, for the _ morning. this is quite spectacular. yesterday, for the second - morning. this is quite spectacular. yesterday, for the second day - morning. this is quite spectacular. yesterday, for the second day on | morning. this is quite spectacular. i yesterday, for the second day on the trot, the highest temperature in the

land was in north—west scotland were just short of 21 degrees. a cold start in scotland this morning. temperatures in braemar got low enough forfrost. in temperatures in braemar got low enough for frost. in scotland and northern ireland this is where we are starting off with a lot of sunshine. will england and wales more cloud around. they ploughed picking up in the midlands and wales later to produce the odd spot of drizzle. the show as we currently have across the south of england and the channel islands continuing to push off to the west. it should brighten up later across eastern england. the white circles represent average wind speeds. brisk winds today along the north sea coastline. coming from an easterly direction. it will feel cool. inland it will be brisk. a chilly feel to the day. ten to 13 in the east. we could still reach 19 today. worth mentioning if you have an allergy to

tree pollen, these are the levels today. high or very high away from the north—east of scotland. tonight we see the remnants of the cloud clear through wales and eventually clearing northern ireland. under clearing northern ireland. under clear skies and temperatures will fall away rapidly. low cloud forming along the pennines and parts of the east coast. it will be cold tonight and we will see a touch of frost. temperatures falling to —1, —2 in the far north—east. the cloud and mist and fog will tend to lift. it might liga delete linger in north—east scotland. later we will see more substantial rain coming into this area. temperatures tend to about 15 degrees.— about 15 degrees. thank you very much indeed. _ children conceived as a result of rape will soon be legally recognised as victims in england and wales, giving them better access

to information and support services. that's the pledge from the government. but what's it like to know that your child — or even your own existence — came from sexual violence? sammy woodhouse was a victim of the rotherham grooming scandal and fell pregnant to her abuser when she was just 15. she has sometimes sat here talking about that. she's made a new bbc documentary in which she meets other mothers and children born from abuse. emma ailes has more on this and you may find the content of this discussion upsetting. that was literallyjust minutes after i'd give birth to him. i just looked so young. becoming a mum was one of the happiest moments of sammy's life. but when her son was only 12, she had to tell him a painful truth — that the man he called dad had raped and abused her, and that's how he was born. he didn't want to be the person who he was. in his own skin.

i blamed myself. i felt so stupid. sammy and her son struggled alone with the difficult emotions. it's only now, years later, that she's discovering they're not the only ones. you're questioning everything about yourself, looking in the mirror. almost like i could see the man who raped my mother looking back at me. neil grew up adopted. their birth mother was raped by a stranger in a park and that's how neil was born. finding out was a gut—wrenching moment. when you hear those words, it's like somebody�*s... almost like a video game. ..punched into your chest and ripped your insides out. ijust broke down. so i did meet with my birth mother. and one of the first things i said to her was, if i look like the man who did this to you, walk away. and what did she say? she said it's fine, you don't look like him. that really changed things for me. the man who did that

to my birth mother is... he isjust nothing to me. to all intents and purposes, i don't think of myself as having a birth father. i have my birth mother, and that's it. and that's enough. research suggests thousands of women become pregnant from rape in the uk each year. mandy had her son as a result of being abused by her father. this is the first time she's ever talked openly about how that feels. do you think it's different for us as mums having a child conceived through abuse to having children conceived in a happy relationship? yeah. how do you think it's different? before i had my other children, i thought i knew having a baby were. and then when i had my proper children, it sounds awful to say that, i knew where it was.

he wasn't conceived out of love, he was conceived... ..by a monster. but by god, i love him. but. . .yeah, yeah. i always say i'm the survivor, my son's a victim because he is. because a crime happened to me, it happened to him as well. for mothers and children born of rape, the coming change in the law is a moment for celebration. it will give them the legal right to information and support. and, after decades in the shadows, it's a sign that their voices are finally being heard. emma ailes, bbc news. the kind of stories we just don't hear. you can watch out of the shadows: born from rape on bbc iplayer now — and we'll be speaking to sammy and neiljust after eight this morning. if you've been affected by any of the issues raised, you can find information and support at bbc.co.uk/actionline.

thank you very much forjoining us this wednesday morning. let's take a look at the papers. the daily mail asks, "when will someone get a grip of the eco fanatics?" and says the prime minister has vowed to bring in tougher laws to stop protesters disrupting british sporting events. it comes after the world snooker championship was disrupted by a campaigner on monday night. the grand national at the weekend as well. the guardian's front page features an image of evan gershkovich, the us journalist arrested in russia. he was seen for the first time in weeks as he appeared in a court in moscow. a "soup and shake" diet can reverse type two diabetes, the times reports. the paper says patients who consumed just 800 calories a day for three months and then kept the weight off

no longer needed medication for diabetes five years later. and one of the most watched stories on the bbc news website takes us to the land of oz — or a village in buckinghamshire. ivinghoe, near aylesbury, is being transformed for a production of the film. they are going to some lengths for that film. they are doing it for real. you know i love a pothole, well i hate a pothole but a pothole story. this chap is a deliveroo rider on his bike. he said he wanted to prove a point. the council has hit back and said, it is not a pothole, it is a sinkhole, which is different. ,, , different. still needs fixing, i would suggest. _ different. still needs fixing, i would suggest. not - different. still needs fixing, i would suggest. not great - different. still needs fixing, i would suggest. not great if. different. still needs fixing, i. would suggest. not great if you different. still needs fixing, i- would suggest. not great if you are on a bike. this lady has two

pictures of herfront on a bike. this lady has two pictures of her front door. she is in edinburgh. she started painting it pink, a beautiful colour. there was an anonymous complaint sent to the city of edinburgh council. the local authority ruled the pink door was not in keeping with the character of the listed building and has had to paint it a blue — green, turquoise colour. she would have had to pay £20,000. it is in a conservation area.- to pay £20,000. it is in a conservation area. ., , , conservation area. you can see why she did it! — conservation area. you can see why she did it! a — conservation area. you can see why she did it! a £20,000 _ conservation area. you can see why she did it! a £20,000 fine. - being a football fan is often an emotional roller—coaster, and one young boston united supporter has learned that lesson earlier than most. five—year—old noa was left in floods of tears when she found out that her favourite striker was only there on loan until the end of the season. but there's a happy ending, as phillip norton found out. and foward comes chadwick. chadwick has a go. chadwick finds the back of the net! if you score goals like this,

you soon become a fans' favourite. i didn't want billy chadwick to leave. we were chatting about how we were going to see the game on saturday, and that it would be one of the last times that noa saw billy play, because we thought his line —— loan would be finishing. and noa, how did you feel when you found out he was going to be leaving? so upset. i didn't want billy chadwick to leave. she couldn't stop crying, so i took a little video of it and i... kind of emotional blackmail, really, i sent it to billy on twitter. and i said, "please don't leave", or something like that. and he replied almost straight away and said that he'd love to meet her after the game the next day. and this was the moment they met. so why is he noa's favourite? because he scores lots of goals. yes, billy chadwickjoined boston on loan from hull city injanuary. he scored on his debut, and hasn't really stopped. 0h, he's a cut above.

really talented lad. got a great shot on him. he can score from range as well as up close, two good feet. he's quick, so yeah, he'd be an asset to any team. and what happened when he met you, noa? we had a photo and he gave me some boots. yeah. he gave you a pair of boots. and these are what they look like. wow. and he's signed them as well, hasn't he? look at those. he was really nice. oh, it was just so lovely. i mean, she's just absolutely over the moon with the whole thing. thank you for the boots. i'm so grateful. i love them. you'll always be my favourite player. he is really nice. billy, you have got to stay. you cannot leave boston after that. you can give the boots but you have to sign a contract. that report by phillip norton.

i loved their dad did what all parents do these days, film it. post it. emotional blackmail. talking of sporting heroes, cornwall has a new one — and he's only 15. john maguire is on fistral beach in newquay to tell us more. morning, john. i would have to have the memory of an elephant to remember being 15, i can tell you. for still beach this morning on the north coast of cornwall, talking about luke skinner. just been crowned world surfing champion. looking out on fistral this morning, the early—morning patrol and a few people catching some waves. we will hopefully see some of the style that earned him the championship. an interesting story because you would expect the world champion... all right when we have often had british

european champions but you would expect the world champion to be from somewhere like hawaii, california or australia. no, he is from here, the north cornwall coast. if you are familiar with this part of the world you will know it is a surfing mecca, a centre for the industry here. now it is starting to produce some champions because skinner will be with us later in the programme with his dad, who is a bit of a chip of the old block. we will do that after you see the news travel and weather in your region. a very good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. the mother of stephen lawrence, the teenager killed in a racist attack in south london 30 years ago, says the met still needs to improve. baroness doreen lawrence has been paying tribute to her son ahead of the anniversary of his death this weekend. it comes only weeks after the casey

report into the met found evidence of institutional racism. she says the recent finding don't surprise her. and i don't know how many more inquiries and how many reviews you need to have to say the same thing, and still no changes, and still denials. so it was no surprise, you know, because i think as a family we've lived through it for so many years, and we know what it's been like. and so that is no surprise to me whatsoever. sir mark rowley, the commissioner of the met, has admitted that there are severe shortcomings, but the met is not the same force that it was 20 or 25 years ago. surrey police has been reprimanded for recording more than 200,000 phone calls without people's knowledge. it followed the roll—out of an app which recorded phone conversations with criminals, victims and witnesses. it also captured some personal data according the the regulator the information commission.

in a statement surrey police said they now have new plans in place to ensure all future apps are compliant with legislation. now, the bakery chain greggs has launched an appeal to overturn an failed application to sell its famous steak bakes and sausage rolls through the night at its store in leicester square. westminster city council blocked their plans following objections from the met police who warned longer hours could lead to more crime in the area. let's take a look at how the tube is running. there's minor delays on the circle line. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello there. good morning. today's weather is looking very similar to how it was yesterday, perhaps just a degree or so warmer. still some areas of cloud around, but also some sunny spells. probably best through the second half of today, and there's a nagging, a chilly easterly wind blowing,

and in exposure to that, it will feel quite cold, i think, at times. now, for this morning, we're starting off on a mild note. there is some early brightness, but it won't be too long before we start to see this cloud roll in, and some of the cloud could be thick enough to produce a few spots of drizzle. but generally most of us will stay dry, and the sunshine will re—emerge as we head through this afternoon. top temperatures in the best of the sunshine, as high as 13—15 c, so a little warmer than it was yesterday, but we've still got that very blustery easterly wind blowing. across parts of essex and kent i think it will be cooler. now, this evening and overnight, lots of long clear spells. it's a chillier start to thursday when again it's looking dry with some sunshine, but we could see some showers perhaps. by the end of the day we've still got that easterly wind. that's it for now — more on our website and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour, but let's go back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast

withjon kay and sally nugent. morning. it'sjust after morning. it's just after half past six. it is a really important day for the economy. in the next hour we'll get an update on the cost of living, when the latest inflation figures are released by the office for national statistics. ben's at a food market in west london to tell us more. yes, this is the west london international food market. yes, this is the west london internationalfood market. food comes in from all over the world, we have got some pairs from south africa, oranges from egypt. it comes from all over the world, and then restaurants and cafe and shops will come here and stock up and we end up buying this food. you will have noticed that it is significantly, a lot of things significantly more expensive than they were a year ago. let mejust run expensive than they were a year ago. let me just run through what we know. at the last update we found out that inflation was 10.4%. the

rate at which the average price rises are going up, significantly above the bank of england's target of 2%. it surprised many economists, because price rises had started to slow down. this the office for national statistics said shortages of some food items in february, particularly some fresh fruit and veg, has pushed prices up. food prices are now at a its—year high, and rising much faster than the general rate of inflation. the price of pasta for example has doubled in two years. but there is some good news. in the last week or so a number of supermarkets have reduced the cost of a pint of milk for the first time in more than a year. but it's still double what you'd have paid back in 2020. lets find out how it's affecting some of the traders here and the business that they supply. we have

no nick king them! don't you dare touch them. thank you very much indeed. the price of everything is going up. don't forget there's more help and advice with the rising cost of living on our website at bbc.co.uk/news — where you will find a section called "cost of living: tackling it together." if you want to get in touch with us, you can now send us a message on whatsapp — the number is 0330123 0&40, orjust scan the qr code with your phone's camera and that will automatically start a chat with us. you can still get in touch with us by email and on twitter as well. we talked about fuel prices dropping a bit. is there anything else you've seen where the prices are starting to come down? it's less than two years since the taliban seized power in afghanistan, and the country is now on the brink of economic collapse. that's according to the united nations, which says that drastic restrictions on women's rights and their ability to work are part of the problem. afghanistan had 19 million people living in poverty in 2020.

that figure now stands at 3a million, which is more than 90% of the population. 0ur correspondent yogita limaye sent this report from the capital kabul. no time for a childhood. 11—year—old saeed ali akbar must work every day so that his family can eat, one of more than a million children out of school in afghanistan. he was in sixth grade till last year. i really liked school. i miss it. this is very hard work, but i've got used to it now, he says. next door, his older brother does the same work. nine hours of hammering and welding earns them 150 afghanis a day, less than $2.

their father lost his job when afghanistan's economy collapsed, and has now gone to iran to find work. their mother, lela, begs on the streets. translation: | feel awful- that my young children are working. this is their time to study and be something. but life is hard for us. i'm struggling to find work, and they have to provide for the family. when the taliban took over, foreign money that was being given to this country's government was frozen, triggering an economic collapse. aid organisations have so far played a crucial role, saving people from going hungry. in recent months, though, the taliban has increased restrictions on women working for them, which threatens to put their operations and their funding at risk. i met a senior official in the taliban's finance ministry... my name is yogita from the bbc.

..who says they're working to improve the economic situation. basically in the previous government, there were a lot of corruptions and misuses of the power of the government. we have transparency in all our departments, and there is a very good, 37% of increase in our revenues. two thirds of your population currently does not know where their next meal is coming from. that is not a self—reliant economy. so how crucial is the operation of aid organisations at this moment? these are temporary things. thank you for the international community helping our people all over afghanistan. but this is not the solution we need. we need not only aid, we need trade. we need the aid effectiveness. we need developmental aid. we need the international communities to come and work with us. but it is the policies of your government, including the restrictions on women and girls,

which are making it tougher for aid organisations to operate in this country. is your government willing to take responsibility for your share of what you should be doing to further expand the aid that is coming to your country? so girls' education and girls, stopping them from the work, so this is, i think, the internal policy of islamic emirates. but i think all the things, all the humanitarian aid and the donations and the grants, those should not be related to this this issue, this issue only. the gap between afghanistan's rulers and the world is widening at an unexpectedly rapid pace. its people are at risk of being left to fight a crisis on their own. yogita limaye, bbc news, kabul. let's have a look at the sport now.

a miracle for frank lampard? no, this was not in the script. £600 million spent on players, and the season has not panned out the way they would have wanted. 0ut season has not panned out the way they would have wanted. out of the champions league at the quarterfinal stage, and real questions about where the club is going to go now. yes, it hasn't been pretty, has it? this is not what chelsea fans are used to, and not what the owners envisaged when they bought the club. and after all that money spent on players, the club in the bottom half of the table and now out at the quarterfinal stage of the champions league, questions over the club's direction. here'sjoe wilson. and real madrid are into the semi—finals of the champions league again. both these men know the score. success is measured in trophies, and chelsea are nowhere near. starting 2—0 down from the first leg, sure, chelsea needed goals. there's the chance!

to be fair, that's never been a n'golo kante's speciality. chelsea's record scorer is now interim manager. frank lampard, staying calm, will keep watching. havertz. only one thing stood between the goal and cucurella — real madrid's goalkeeper. thibaut courtois, once of chelsea. half time, not hopeless, but goalless. 0wner todd boehly spent £550 million. can't buy you goals or tackles. when real madrid worked their opening after 57 minutes, here comes the composure and the execution — and the finish. it's out to rodrigo. that was the game. now the lesson. make your chances count. by the end, madrid were walking it in. rodrigo again. all over. so after all that investment, what's the reality that chelsea fans go home to, and will wake up to? out of europe, 11th in the premier league. joe wilson, bbc news, stamford bridge.

and just to offer a contrast, leyton orient are celebrating after getting promoted to league one. in really strange circumstances. there was a floodlight failure, and by the time the lights came back on they'd learned they'd gone up as results elsehwhere had gone their way. a party at priestfields in the dark! 0bviusly the real party got going on the bus after. but a unique moment for the players and the fans. i don't think it is a day you would forget. new and it is a lesson in life. switch the lights out, give it ten minutes, everything will be better afterwards. we showed you the chaotic scenes of protesters interupting play at the world snooker championships yesterday, but normal service resumed on day four. the match betweenjoe perry and robert milkins restarted after their game was suspended when a protesterjumped on their table and perry now leads by seven frames to two. they'll return to the table tomorrrow morning. extra security being stepped up there yestreday,

and other big sports events considering their security arrangemnets. george williams says it's a huge honour to have been named as the new england men's rugby league captain. the warrington wolves scrum—half succeeds sam tomkins, who will retire at the end of the season. williams did captain the side for one game during the world cup last year, calling it the proudest moments of my life. lizzie deignan is set to return to cycling six months after having her second child. she'll race in belgium today, but she says she's disappointed the women's tour of britain will not take place this year. it's a blow to women's sport and cycling. organisers failed to find the funding required. i'm disappointed, and i can also say that i don't quite understand how it has happened, because from my perspective, when i'm out in the uk training on british roads, participation levels are higher than i've ever seen before. friends, family, like, they all follow cycling more

than they ever have. grassroots level, i think there's more. like i say, more and more clubs are busy. and this one reads like something from a film. a long—distance runner starting a race, then hitching a lift to the finish line. that sounds like my kind of run! tracking data from one runner competing good friday's manchester to liverpool ultra marathon found she'd achieved a super human top speed of 35 mph — that's faster than usain bolt in his prime. joasia zakewski on the left is said to have told friends she felt sick after flying in from australia the day before which is why she accepted the lift covering around 2.5 miles in a car, before crossing the line in third. she has been disqualified. you can't cheat, can you? you can't, and she says she is very sorry and

i'm sure you're probably regretting it, but is tempting it is with that car door open, no. technology, technology! thank you very much indeed. before we get the weather from carol, here's how it's looking in cornwall. let's go. look at that. a bit chilly. possibly quite cold. we will be in, later with a 15—year—old champion surfer who was warming to talk to us, but it is great to see it is light at least at ten to seven in the morning, so it feels like the beginning of summer, and the grey skies arejust proving beginning of summer, and the grey skies are just proving it. you insist it is the beginning of summer most days, jon. we have strawberries and beaches! is the weather going to oblige, carol? good morning to you both. in the uk at the moment, the air temperature

is 7 degrees, but it is cold for most of us. we have clear skies, and we're starting with some sunshine. further south, manchester, cardiff and london, with more cloud around, the temperature hasn't fallen away as much through the course the night. high pressure is still firmly in charge of the weather, drifting a little further west but you can see from those isobars we are still looking at a brisk easterly wind. not just down the looking at a brisk easterly wind. notjust down the north sea coastline, but inland, and that will make it feel chilly. across england and also wales, quite a bit of cloud will produce and drizzle. the showers across the south in the channel islands continuing to drift off towards the west. more cloud will develop across northern ireland through the course of the afternoon, but still with sunny spells, but it is scotland that will see the lion's share of the sunshine from the word go. through the day, as all this cloud drifts west, it will brighten up cloud drifts west, it will brighten up in eastern england. these circles

represent the average wind speeds, but we do have a brisk easterly taking the edge of the temperatures, especially along the north see coastline where we get highs of 10-13. like coastline where we get highs of 10—13. like in the last few days, in the north—west highlands we could get as high as 19 degrees. yesterday it was just get as high as 19 degrees. yesterday it wasjust short get as high as 19 degrees. yesterday it was just short of 21. pollen levels today are high or very high across the board, something to bear in mind if you have an allergy to tree pollen and you are just stepping out. through the evening and overnight, all the cloud left over from daytime will push away in the direction of the atlantic, leaving us with clear skies. there will be a little low cloud developing across the pennines in two parts of wales and parts of the east coast of scotland in particular. under clear skies it will be a cold night, colder in the south. here once again there will be some frost in the north. tomorrow we lose the low cloud, and it will be slower to clear for north—east

scotland, a lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine around, and also still a brisk wind coming from the north—east now, through the day we import a weather from the near continent. temperatures down a touch on what we are looking at for the next couple of days, 10—15 the maximum. then as we head from friday into the weekend, the weather turns a little more unsettled more widely, with fronts moving across us, and we will get into scotland as well where it has been such a dry week, and another area of low pressure coming up another area of low pressure coming up from the south. 0n another area of low pressure coming up from the south. on friday, a lot of cloud across england and wales, also this rain moving across us, still at this stage dry in scotland, but we could see one or two showers getting on across northern ireland through the course of the day, and these are our temperatures, 115 at 12s. these are our temperatures, 115 at 125. it these are our temperatures, 115 at 12s. it is going to turn cooler over the weekend. by the time we get to

sunday and monday, especially monday, we will have a northerly wind, much colder with some parts of the north—east in particular in the hills seeing some wintry showers. i don't thinkjon is going to believe that, maybe it is true. share believe that, maybe it is true. are ou auoin believe that, maybe it is true. are you going to _ believe that, maybe it is true. 99 you going to take monday off, jon? i might have to! but we could look even further into the future now. we've now got less than four weeks to go until eurovision — and one of the biggest cheers of the night in liverpool will go to the ukrainian entry, tvorchi. but what do they actually sound like? 0ur ukraine correspondent james waterhouse went to meet them and see them perform — his report contains flashing images. singing. there aren't many reasons for being in a nightclub during the afternoon. but a sound check is one of them. minus one, minus two. jeffrey plus andrii together make tvorchi, ukraine's electronic eurovision entry.

and this is the song they're hoping to win it with — heart of steel. # don't care what you say. # don't care how you feel. # get out of my way. we can describe it in three words — strength, confidence and positivity. so this is basically a song about strong people who are staying in a good attitude in their negative situation. # i got a heart of steel. tvorchi won't be allowed to be political in liverpool. however, in lviv they're not shying away from their message. for us it's important to win so our country win this war against the occupants who came in our land. this and about the eurovision.

our mission is, you know, to represent our country the best way possible and do our best. if you're going to win eurovision, we will appreciate that too, you know? since winning the public vote last year, jeffrey and andrii have had rehearsals interrupted by air raid sirens. reasons like this why organisers have moved this year's contest from ukraine to the uk. i would say no harm done, because at least they're doing it on behalf of the ukraine. so we know they're going to make the, you know make... everything nice. make it to the best of their abilities. so, tvorchi takeaways, then. it is a powerful electronic sound. the lyrics are defiant, and it's that which connects with their ukrainian fans. but the eurovision question will be whether they can do it for a global audience.

the previous year it was about the war, and now we have to to show people that ukraine is just a culture. it's about our language and about ukraine. we continue to show the world that ukraine is strong - and we are not going anywhere. and both on eurovision and in the world, in the geopoliticall structure and so on. it's in the nearby city of ternopil where the story of tvorchi begins in 2016. yes, right over there. jeffrey, originally from nigeria, came here to study pharmacy. andrii had done the same, and wanted someone to practice his english with. like this. he was like... that way? yeah. and then i come back and gave a tap his shoulder like this. and what did you say? i said i would like to check on my english skills. in my head i was like, what the hell? and then he was like,

i want to try my english. i was like, oh, 0k. a chain of events would ultimately bring them eurovision, with some local fame on the way. awesome. although not everyone will be tuning in. translation: i've watched | eurovision in previous years, but this time i'm not following it because the news about eventsl in ukraine are more important now. when russia invaded the country, jeffrey decided to stay in ukraine for their music. now it's their music which is making them leave — for liverpool. james waterhouse, bbc news, western ukraine. and it's good to see a little bit of normality, a few smiles on the streets of ukraine. still to come on breakfast, we'll be talking to a singer who's been dubbed the queen of ska music.

pauline black has been part of the selector for more than four decades, and she'll be on the sofa to tell us about the band's new album, human algebra. that's at five past nine. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. the mother of stephen lawrence, the teenager killed attack in eltham 30 years ago says the met still needs to improve. baroness doreen lawrence has been paying tribute to her son ahead of the anniversary of his death this weekend. it comes only weeks after the casey report into the met found evidence of institutional racism.

she says the recent finding don't surprise her. i don't know how many more inquiries on how many more renews you need that say the same thing. it on how many more renews you need that say the same thing.— that say the same thing. it was no surrise. that say the same thing. it was no surprise- as _ that say the same thing. it was no surprise- as a _ that say the same thing. it was no surprise. as a family _ that say the same thing. it was no surprise. as a family we _ that say the same thing. it was no surprise. as a family we have - that say the same thing. it was no | surprise. as a family we have lived through it for so many years and we know what it has been like. that is no surprise to me whatsoever. sir mark rowley, the commissioner of the met, has admitted that there are severe shortcomings, but the met is not the same force that it was 20 or 25 years ago. surrey police has been reprimanded for recording more than 200,000 phone calls without people's knowledge. it followed the rollout of an app, which recorded phone conversations with criminals, victims and witnesses.

it also captured some personal data according to the regulator, the information commission. in a statement, surrey police said they now have new plans in place to ensure all future apps are compliant with legislation. now the bakery chain greggs has launched an appeal to overturn an failed application to sell its famous steak bakes and sausage rolls through the night at its store in leicester square. westminster city council blocked their plans following objections from the met, who warned longer hours could lead to more crime in the area. let's take a look at how the tube is running. there's minor delays on the circle line. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello there. good morning. today's weather is looking very similar to how it was yesterday, perhaps just a degree or so warmer. still some areas of cloud around, but also some sunny spells. probably best through the second half of today, and there's a nagging, a chilly easterly wind blowing, and in exposure to that,

it will feel quite cold, i think, at times. now, for this morning, we're starting off on a mild note. there is some early brightness, but it won't be too long before we start to see this cloud roll in, and some of the cloud could be thick enough to produce a few spots of drizzle. but generally most of us will stay dry, and the sunshine will re—emerge as we head through this afternoon. top temperatures in the best of the sunshine, as high as 13—15 c, so a little warmer than it was yesterday, but we've still got that very blustery easterly wind blowing. across parts of essex and kent i think it will be cooler. now, this evening and overnight, lots of long clear spells. it's a chillier start to thursday when again it's looking dry with some sunshine, but we could see some showers perhaps. by the end of the day we've still got that easterly wind. that's it for now. i'll be back in half an hour.

good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today... will falling petrol prices help slow the rising cost of living? we'll find out when the latest inflation figures come out in the next few minutes. there are hopes that inflation could fall to below 10% today but food and energy prices remain high. i am at this wholesale market in west london to find out what all of that means for the cost of living. the snp treasurer, colin beattie, has been released without charge — pending further investigation — after being questioned by police examining the party's finances. 30 years on from the murder of stephen lawrence, his mother tells us about her ongoing fight for change. we are never seen as a group of people that should have justice. everything we have had, we had

showing how fast prices have been they're expected to show that a standard basket of goods cost nearly 10% more in march than it did 12 months ago. but falling petrol prices are potentially helping to bring the rate of overall inflation down. 10%, can it be under or over? that is what we are looking out for in the next few minutes. with more details here's our business reporter, ben king. at this dairy in stockport, they try to take a glass half full approach. but everything they buy has been getting more expensive and that means their prices have been going up, too. you don't want to always be doom and gloom, you try and look to the best of things. but, at the moment, we don't see anything changing really because your production costs are still getting higher, our energy costs are still going higher. don't get me wrong, they've plateaued a little bit, but our raw consumer pricing, machinery costs, purchasing goods, glass bottles, crates, you name it. nothing seems to be stopping at the moment for us. milk, and food in general,

has been rapidly becoming more expensive, contributing to the cost—of—living crisis, which has pushed so many to the brink. but it's slowing down. in february, prices were 10.4% up on the previous year. cheaper petrol will help to bring the march figure down. and if gas and electricity bills fall in coming months as expected, that will help to bring inflation down towards the target level of 2%. good news up to a point. doesn't mean that the cost of the goods and the services that you're buying in the shops has come down, itjust means that they're going up a bit less rapidly. those energy bills for many people will still be higher than they were at the onset of the war in ukraine, and food prices will still likely be much higher. today's number will also be very closely watched by the bank of england. it's theirjob to bring inflation back under control. and if it isn't falling fast enough, they may have to put interest

rates up again. so today's figure will give a sense ofjust how hard it will be to put a lid on the era of soaring prices. ben king, bbc news. last month there was a surprise because we expected the rate to start falling. in fact it went up again. today the expectation was the rate would drop below 10% that it has not. we havejust had rate would drop below 10% that it has not. we have just had the consumer prices index inflation figure from the office of national statistics and it is still about 10%. only statistics and it is still about 10%. 0nly10.1%, down a little bit but still the psychological barrier of double figures. it remains stubbornly high, doesn't it? we can get more on this with ben, who's at a market in west london. you'll take on this figure, 10.1%.

that is lower than it was the previous month when it was 10.4%. that means prices are still rising but not quite as fast as they were pulled up just to but not quite as fast as they were pulled upjust to be but not quite as fast as they were pulled up just to be clear, but not quite as fast as they were pulled upjust to be clear, prices are not falling, they are rising but not as fast as they were. it takes into consideration a whole range of goods and services and working at the average price from what it was 12 months ago. it is on average. some things will have gone up by even more than that. when you break it down and look at food in particular, food price inflation is at 19.2%. that is why things like fruit and veg which you see here, when you buy it in the shop to feel it is significantly more expensive thanit it is significantly more expensive than it was a year ago. of course, you price inflation against average wage rises. we found out yesterday average wages were going up by 6.6%. the prices are going up by 10.1% on

average it means wages are not keeping up with prices of that that is why people feel the cost of living squeeze and feeling their money is not going as far. inflation is 10.1%. the target by the bank of england is 2%. we are still way above that that that tends to mean the bank of england is more inclined to put up interest rates to try to slow down the price rises and relieve pressure on households. a lot of that will be factored into their next decision when the bank of england committee meets to decide what to do on interest rates. interest rates currently 4.25%. the big question, where they go up? that will make mortgages and borrowing more expensive if they do. in the longer term it is meant to bring down the rate at which prices are rising. a lot of detail to grasp. the takeaway is prices are still rising and still pressure on households. the cost of living

crisis shows no signs of easing yet. thank you. the us television network fox news has agreed to pay nearly $800 million to an election technology company, which it falsely accused of helping to rig the 2020 presidential election in favour ofjoe biden. the company — dominion — had originally demanded $1.6 billion, saying the fox news reports had caused enormous damage. fox news' owner rupert murdoch agreed to settle the case just a day before the trial was due to begin. six people are being treated for injuries after they were attacked by a pair of dogs in birmingham. pupils at a nearby primary school were locked into the building for an hour after lessons had finished — to keep them safe until the animals were caught. a 28—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of possessing a dog, which was dangerously out of control. the treasurer of the scottish national party, colin beattie — who was arrested by police investigating the party's finances — has been released without charge, pending further investigation. the 71—year—old is the second figure

in the party to be detained as part of the inquiry. we're joined now by our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. there is the investigation going on on one side but also how the snp deals with all of this at a time when they are trying to set the agenda and re—establish themselves. yes, a party spokesperson said they had no comment to make on a life police investigation. make no mistake, this is an extraordinarily difficult time for the snp. they had been the dominant political force in scotland for more than 15 years, an election winning juggernaut. in the last few months they have had a fractured leadership contest, a big row about misleading the media and the public over a drop in membership numbers and of course this long—running police investigation into party finances. police scotland

launched an operation investigating almost two years ago over how donations to the party were used. colin beattie was arrested following an investigation into finances for the snp. he was released yesterday without charge pending further inquiries. e is a big figure in the snp, a backroom figure. he has been snp, a backroom figure. he has been snp party treasurer almost the last 20 years. his arrest comes almost two weeks after the former chief executive of the snp. he is the husband of nicola sturgeon. he was also released without charge pending further inquiries. the question many are asking is whether they had other people to question and if they do, who might they question next, either under caution or as a witness? the new leader of the snp and first

minister humza yousaf described the arrest of mr beattie as a very serious matter indeed. he said he should not be suspended from the party as people are innocent until proven guilty. this after humza yousaf made his first big policy statement to the scottish parliament. he was trying to make the tone for the next few days and press the reset button. no doubt mr beattie's arrest overshadowed that big moment for humza yousaf. thank ou. at least 29 people — 16 women and 13 men — have died in a fire at a hospital in beijing. state media is reporting that the fire at changfeng hospital may have been caused by sparks created during building work. twelve people, including hospital officials and employees of the construction firm, have been detained. the former boss of the business group, the cbi, says his reputation has been "totally destroyed" after being fired over complaints about his behaviour. the cbi says tony danker was dismissed on strong legal grounds.

he acknowledged he had made some staff feel "very uncomfortable" but says he's been wrongly associated with separate claims of serious offences that allegedly occurred at the organisation before hejoined. i want to apologise to anybody at the cbi that i upset, that i made uncomfortable. that's on me. but i have had a week of coverage saying, "tony danker sacked in rape scandal". and these stories have been about rape and sexual assault and cocaine and bullying. none of that was anything to do with me, and it was all before my time. an 84—year—old man in the us state of missouri has been charged with first—degree assault after shooting a black teenager who mistakenly rang his doorbell. ralph yarl — who is 16 — went to the wrong address

in kansas city while trying to collect his younger brothers. andrew lester, who is white, was originally released without charge but detained again following protests. 0ur north america correspondent nomia iqbal reports. ralph yarl is a 16—year—old high school student. described by his teachers as a kind boy and a musical prodigy. last week, he went to pick up his twin brothers from a friend's place, but accidentally went to the wrong house and rang the bell. he was shot twice. and while he was standing there, his brothers didn't run outside. but he got a couple of bullets in his body instead of a couple of twins coming out and giving him a hug. the teenager was taken to hospital but is now at home recovering. the man accused of shooting him, 84—year—old andrew lester, has been charged over the attack. the number 16 has been graffitied on to andrew lester's house, ralph yarl�*s age.

mr lester, an old man, said he was acting in self—defence and there are controversial laws in this state called stand your ground, which allow citizens to take action if they feel there's a threat. mr lester said it was late at night, he thought it was a break in and he was scared of ralph yarl�*s tall height. but ralph's family believe it wasn't his height that caused mr lester to reach for his gun. many believe this is a hate crime because ralph is black. hundreds gathered outside the city's courthouse calling for an investigation. i live five minutes away from the house where everything happened. and i have little siblings. i have nieces and nephews who live in these neighbourhoods. and to know that one of my neighbours potentially could have shot one of my own just — it hurts me a lot. this was a hate crime because the shooter was motivated by the race of the victim. now he doesn't have to hate the person to do that, he can target young ralph just because of his race. that makes it a hate crime. it's not a hate crime under missouri statute, but it's a hate crime under the constitution.

how's ralph doing? how's he doing? ralph is doing amazingly well, considering. i'm so blown away by his physical recovery that we can get lost in the fact that he still has a long way to go to recover. missouri is a very pro—gun state with no licences or background checks required to own a weapon. but there's shock at another innocent victim of us gun violence — this time a teenager just ringing a doorbell. nomia iqbal, bbc news, missouri. at least one person has died and five others were injured following the collapse of a multi—storey car park in new york. emergency teams were checking the site for further casualties when they were pulled back because of unstable conditions but authorities now believe everyone who was in the building has been accounted for. the cause of the collapse is under investigation. a planned ceasefire in the sudanese capital khartoum has failed to hold. the 24—hour pause in hostilities was due to start yesterday evening but fighting

was reported near the airport, which is surrounded by residential areas. nearly 200 people have been killed since saturday, when two rival military factions began fighting. one in six children in england are living in overcrowded accommodation, according to new research by the national housing federation, which says that a chronic lack of social housing is limiting the life chances of hundreds of thousands of young people. the government says its spending £11.5 billion on the affordable homes programme to increase the housing supply. with more details, here's our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan. brimstone house in east london was built to accommodate single people. but it's currently home to nearly 60 families in temporary and emergency accommodation — many living in overcrowded conditions. caitlin and her daughter evie have been here a year. they share a bed most of the time.

sometimes i actually have to sleep, like, on the floor because she takes up the whole bed space. and if i wake her up, i can scooch her up a little bit. she will wake up. and then it makes it quite difficult for her tojust, you know, go back to sleep. the national housing federation say one in six children in england are living in overcrowded accommodation. they calculate that more than 300,000 of them are forced to share a bed with other family members. children from ethnic minorities are three times more likely to live in overcrowded homes. these children are feeling the huge impacts, including to their mental health, their physical health, to their development and also to their wellbeing. they're embarrassed to bring friends over. there's nowhere for them to do their homework. the dangers of living in overcrowded housing were highlighted last month when a man died in this east london flat. at least 18 people had been sharing the two—bed property.

campaigners say a chronic lack of social housing is to blame for overcrowding. michael buchanan, bbc news. the kate bush single running up that hill has been nominated for a prestigious song—writing award — 38 years after it was released. # running up that road, running up that hill, # running up the building.# it's in the running for the "most performed song" at the ivor novello awards. the track was first released in 1985 but had a resurgence last summer after it was used in the netflix show stranger things. kate said at the time she couldn't believe after all those years it was number one for the first time. now she gets an award 38 years later. are you ready for a little happiness now? we need it, don't we? we

really strategically important spot. and the key thing about richborough — one of the key things — is that they route out of this gateway becomes the very famous roman road of watling street. so in that direction, you can still trace it through the landscape. you're heading towards canterbury, london, rochester and to chester. this reconstruction has been built on the exact site, where the original gateway stood, giving visitors a new perspective on the four centuries of roman occupation here. after they built their gateway, the romans started advancing through britain in that direction. but behind the fortifications, the whole of roman life went on, and thousands of artefacts found on this site tell their stories. what's really special about richborough is it continues being occupied throughout the history of roman britain. so you have 400 years of roman occupation here and each century has left its mark. in the structures you can see

around me and the collection of objects you can see in our museum. thousands of roman artefacts have been excavated from this site over the past century. many have never been on display before. but this new museum has brought hundreds out of storage, showcasing the variety of roman people who lived at richborough. this is our star object today, and this is celenus. he was a tutor. he's a satire in roman religion. and this object is a weight. it was used in trading. it would have been suspended on a steel yard arm with a bowl on the other side. and he is an absolutely stunning piece of craftsmanship. 400 years after they invaded, the romans departed from our shores, from the gateway where they'd first landed, having left a permanent mark on our landscape and our history. fiona irving, bbc news, richborough. incredible pictures! the drone gives an extra sense of the scene.

of his death this weekend. it comes only weeks after the casey report into the met found evidence of institutional racism. she says the recent finding don't surprise her. i don't know how many more inquiries and how many reviews you need to have to say the same thing, and still no changes, and still denials. so it was no surprise, you know, because i think as a family we've lived through it for so many years, and we know what it's been like. and so that is no surprise to me whatsoever. sir mark rowley, the commissioner of the met, has admitted there are severe shortcomings, but the met is not the same force that it was 20 or 25 years ago. surrey police has been reprimanded for recording more than 200,000 phone calls without people's knowledge. it followed the rollout of an app which recorded phone

conversations with criminals, victims and witnesses. it also captured some personal data according the the regulator the information commission. surrey police say new plans are in place to ensure all future apps are compliant with legislation. the bakery greggs has launched an appeal to overturn an failed application to sell its famous steak bakes and sausage rolls through the night at its flagship store in leicester square. westminster city council blocked their plans following objections from the met police who warned longer hours could lead to more crime in the area. let's take a look at how the tube is running. there's a good service on all lines. apart from the bakerloo which has slight delays. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello there. good morning. today's weather is looking very similar to how it was yesterday, perhaps just a degree or so warmer.

still some areas of cloud around, but also some sunny spells. probably best through the second half of today, and there's a nagging, a chilly easterly wind blowing, and in exposure to that, it will feel quite cold, i think, at times. now, for this morning, we're starting off on a mild note. there is some early brightness, but it won't be too long before we start to see this cloud roll in, and some of the cloud could be thick enough to produce a few spots of drizzle. but generally most of us will stay dry, and the sunshine will re—emerge as we head through this afternoon. top temperatures in the best of the sunshine, as high as 13—15 celsius, so a little warmer than it was yesterday, but we've still got that very blustery easterly wind blowing. across parts of essex and kent i think it will be cooler. now, this evening and overnight, lots of long clear spells. it's a chillier start to thursday when again it's looking dry with some sunshine, but we could see some showers perhaps. by the end of the day we've still got that easterly wind. that's it for now — more on our website and on bbc radio london. ill be back in half an hour, but let's go back to sally and john.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. just after half past seven. let's just wreak upon the breaking news we bought you a few moments ago. the state of the nation's finances. the latest inflation figures have been released, and they show that a typical basket of goods is still more than 10% more expensive than it was a year ago. we were expecting that the overall inflation rate would drop below 10% today, but in fact, although it has fallen slightly from 10.4% in february, it is still 10.1% in march, so prices not falling as fast as many predicted or indeed as all of us at home predicted. much more on that throughout the next hour or so here on the programme. the mother of stephen lawrence has told the bbc that she's seen no changes in the metropolitan police despite three decades of campaigning. this saturday is the 30th

anniversary of stephen's unprovoked and racist murder in eltham, south—east london. it took nearly 20 years to jail two of his killers. the remaining three suspects have never faced justice, and the botched investigation led to a damning report by a high courtjudge, sir william macpherson, who described the metropolitan police as institutionally racist. in her only tv interview ahead of the anniversary of stephen's death, his mother baroness lawrence has been talking to reeta chakrabarti her continuing sense of loss, and her ongoing fight forjustice. a warning — this piece does contain some flash photography. it doesn't seem like 30 years to me. it's like, where's all the years have gone? i'm always thinking about him all the time, and to say it's 30 years, it's a long, long time. and where would he be now? and those are the sort of things i sort of think about. you know, what would he be doing? would he have children? stuff like that. an 18—year—old boy has

been stabbed to death in what police have described as a senseless racial attack. the report of the stephen lawrence i public inquiry is finally due to be i published in full tomorrow. |the teenager was killed in south| east london nearly six years ago. it's taken 18 years, but today, two men have been found guilty of the murder of the black teenager steven lawrence. but it's accepted that there - were others involved that night. and now, after another eight years of further inquiries, _ the metropolitan police - commissioner, cressida dick, has announced that the investigation has run out of leads. _ every year there is something that happens around steven, and so i don't get the opportunity to sit back and think about him the way in which i think other parents would think about their child who they've lost. it's always the media surrounding stephen's name. and i know when steven died, one of the things i've said is that i wanted his name to be remembered, and for him not to be a statistic. but i didn't expect that after all these years

it is still quite a live issue for me as well as for the public. you have become a campaigner forjustice for stephen and also for change in society. it took nearly 20 years to bring two of stephen's killers to justice, but there are others out there who are still free. how does that make you feel? um, there are times i don't really think about them, because i think if i do then your life isjust at a standstill. and it's at times like this, yes, i do think about them. that there's only two, and the rest of them are still free. but then that was down to how the investigation happened. and if we as a family did not look to push and keep challenging, i don't think those two that's in prison, i don't think that we would ever have got there, because it's not something ifelt at the time the police was interested in doing.

so despite the macpherson report in 1999 which shamed the police, which demanded change in the police, you don't think it would have happened without the pressure from you? no, it wouldn't have happened now. why not? i don't know. for me, it's difficult to understand how the police were, but i think when you look at around within the black community, how we are treated, how crimes are investigated, we're never seen as a group of people that should have justice. so everything that we've had, we've had to fight for and continue to fight. and, you know, i think for me all the time i kept thinking, you know, i did nothing wrong and nor did stephen, and that his death was something that it shocked... itjust shocked society in a way that they wanted to make sure. but it didn't. it didn't shock them. and that's why it took so long. do you think that things have changed subsequently —

the death of george floyd, the black lives matter movement? do you think that social attitudes more broadly have changed? george floyd sort of opened people's eyes a little bit more than it was. i think black lives matter is what happened, that too made some changes. but if you look at it now, people are just sort of settled back into how they were. and so it's not on the agenda any more. stephen's father a while ago said that he had forgiven your son's killers, because he'd done so as a way of helping him cope. could you forgive them? have you ever thought about that? when somebody�*s done something wrong, they admit to it, they own up. and that's where the forgiveness comes into it. but they've never owned up, and in their eyes they've done nothing wrong. in the last year, we've had the casey review into the metropolitan police. the metropolitan police in deep crisis, accused of systemic abuse against both staff and the public.

the uk's biggest police force finds itself castigated in an official review for institutional racism, misogyny and for homophobia. well, it's no surprise, because it's always been there. and i don't know how many more inquiries and how many reviews you need to have to say the same thing, and still no changes and still denial. so it was no surprise, you know, because i think as a family, we've lived through it for so many years and we know what it's been like. but you must have felt a certain amount of despair, after all your years of campaigning, everything that you've gone through, to see the force being labelled in exactly the same way as it was 20 years previously. they've always denied that they've done anything wrong and that, you know, that they did everything they could. and the reality is that they didn't do everything that they could.

listening to the, what could you say, the excuses, "we do all that we can", which is not true. officers have been able to be as brutal as they want, and nobody holds them to account. and until that happens, there's no way the police is going to move forward. and they have to not do it behind closed doors. it needs to be seen publicly what they're doing for people to do to accept that they are going to change. over the past, in stephen's case, 30 years, nothing much has changed. sir mark rowley, the commissioner of the met, has admitted that there are severe shortcomings. but he does say that the force is not the same force that it was 20 or 25 years ago. we have met and we have spoken. and i think the same thing i'm saying to you now is what i've said to him, that the public needs to see the change.

so we're coming up to the 30th anniversary of stephen's death. what do you want young people to think of 18—year—olds today? what do you want, them how would you want them to remember him? i've always said that stephen's just an ordinary young, young man growing up. and i think that's what i'd like young people to see stephen as, like a role model. because at the end of the day, he had his faults just like any young person growing up. and for them to see him just like themselves, and as special to me and they're special to theirfamily, and just for them to just strive. as i say, it doesn't matter what they want to do because the world is their oyster and we need to be able to help them because they're the next generation. so i see the foundation as helping them to achieve that.

baroness doreen lawrence speaking there to our colleague reeta chakrabarti. there will be a church service and a number of events to mark stephen lawrence day this saturday, the 22nd of april. it's coming up to quarter to eight. thank you forjoining us this morning. john has the support for us. where did it all go wrong for chelsea? it is looking like a very expensive mistake at the moment for chelsea, isn't it? you think of that multi—billion pound takeover, the money spent by the new owner, £600 million on new players, graham potter was brought in, they change their manager, frank lampard, they are now out of the champions league, and i think chelsea fans will be thinking, where do they go now? when the thing start to improve? because it is looking tricky at the moment. good morning.

there are a whole raft of chelsea fans who've got used to serial success.. premier league and champions league trophes. not this season.. rodrigo scored twice as real won 2—0 at stamford bridge, 4—0 on aggregate to book their place in the semi—finals. but their exit from the competition last night all but confirms that for the first time in 26 years they will be without european football next season. four defeats in a row since frank lampard took temporary charge. 11th in the table, out of all cup competitions, and questions over where do they go now. i don't think it is time to jump too far ahead. the end bit of being clinical and scoring is absolutely crucial, and that is what we need to address. :, , :, address. the thoughts there are frank lampard. _ we showed you the chaotic scenes of protesters interupting play at the world snooker championships yesterday, but normal service resumed on day four.

the match betweenjoe perry and robert milkins restarted after their game was suspended when a protesterjumped on their table and perry now leads by 7 frames to 2. they'll return to the table tomorrrow morning. extra security being stepped up there yestreday, and other big sports events considering their security arrangemnets. disappointment for emma raducanu at the start of her clay court season. the british number knocked out of the stuttgart 0pen in the first round. it tookjust under an hour for the world number ten jelena 0stapenko to win in straight sets, 6—2, 6—1. she will now drop down the rankings. and we have been following them closely. wrexham now edging ever closer to promotion. it's been a great story ever since the hollywood duo took over the club,

ryan reynolds said his team's first half performance was "nervy as hell" before getting the goals that leaves them one win away from promotion back to the football league. goalkeeper ben foster the hero after they beat notts county, he was celebrating. they beat yeovil town last night and nowjust need to beat boreham wood at home on saturday and the title and promotion will be theirs. time for a party. you think? i think they are booking their flights right now. that private jet will be on its way, and what a party it will be at the racecourse. at the very opposite of chelsea's season. and ryan reynolds also says football is evil after the nervousness of that first half, and that is what chelsea are facing. thank you very much indeed. before we get the weather from carol, here's how it's looking in glasgow. doesn't it look beautiful there? look at that sunshine. blue skies

and sunshine over the bbc in pacific key, a gorgeous doubt to the day and some very high temperatures over the last few days as well. you are still insisting it is summer, aren't you? it is summer, sally! carol, put him right, will you? it feels like summer in scotland, but it is not the case everywhere. i have this weather watcher picture from scotland, looking at montrose here, blue skies. it has been a cold start, temperatures in braemarfell lower than —4—macro. but there is more cloud around as you can see in scarborough this morning, and that is the case for england and wales. more cloud to start with, but it will brighten up later in the east. high pressure has drifted a little further west, and look at these isobars, telling you where expecting a brisk easterly wind today. that is a brisk easterly wind today. that is a chilly went coming our way, and it will break up in places. they will

eventually move away, the cloud, and you can see how it breaks up behind. you could see some drizzle coming out, stay around the midlands and east wales later on. more cloud developing in northern ireland, and some sunny spells into this afternoon. in scotland it really has the sun from the word go, but that develops across north—east england and south—east england through the course of the day. look at that brisk, chilly easterly wind taking the edge off the temperatures in the east, and out towards the west we could see once again 19 degrees in the north—west highlands, but for most we are looking at 13 to about 15. tree pollen today is high or very high across many areas, and if you suffer from analogy to that, do remember to take whatever it is you take to help you with it! through this evening and over night, the cloud moves out into the atlantic, and still a brisk wind coming in

from the north sea. cloud around the pennines, north—east scotland, and there will be a touch of frost especially in sheltered glens. the clear skies means a sunny start to tomorrow. cloud lifting quite quickly from the pennines, did linger close to the north—east coast of scotland, and we still have a brisk north—easterly wind, and through the day we will import a weather front for the near continent, introducing thicker cloud and some rain. temperatures tend to about 15 degrees, north to south, and you could see 17 in the north—west highlands at this stage. but then things turn more unsubtle. the high pressure is more or less across us, and we have all these weather fronts coming in on friday and into the weekend as well, so more of us will cease at wet weather. we start off on friday, you can see how it is the north that hangs onto the sunshine, scotland and northern ireland. the cloud spills across northern england and wales, we could see some showers ahead of it developing through the

afternoon in northern ireland, and these are our temperatures, 11—13. but we will see some rain on saturday in scotland, and as we head on through the course of the weekend, ourwinter on through the course of the weekend, our winter turns around to more of a northerly, a colder direction for us, and by the time you get into sunday and monday over the hills in the north—east, we could once again be seeing increased showers. so hold on to that thought. can we go back to that picture from glasgow to just live in the moment? carol, thank you. how's this for a comeback story. three years ago, lukas skinner suffered a terrible skateboarding accident which ruptured his spleen and left him unable to walk for three months. now aged 15, lukas has just been named as the best young surfer in the world. he's from cornwall, and he's currently on fistral beach in newquay with breakfast'sjohn maguire. morning, john. this is great news.

was less than 16 years old, so all those kids at the moment. not like wallace and gromit? no. it is gnarly, sally. coming up to eight o'clock, we have all of the important economic news. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning from bbc london. i'm thomas magill. the mother of stephen lawrence — the teenager killed in a racist attack in eltham 30 years ago — says she's seen no changes in the metropolitan police despite three decades of campaigning. baroness doreen lawrence has been paying tribute to her son ahead of the anniversary of his death this weekend. it comes only weeks after the casey report into the met found evidence of institutional racism. the commissioner of the met, sir mark rowley says

there are severe shortcoming but the met is not the same force it was 20 or 25 years ago. and you can see that interview with baroness lawrence on the bbc website right now. the bakery chain greggs has launched an appeal to overturn an failed application to sell its famous steak bakes and sausage rolls through the night at its flagship store in leicester square. westminster city council blocked their plans following objections from the met police, who warned longer hours could lead to more crime in the area. let's take a look at how the tube is running. there's a good service on all lines. now onto the weather. a cloudy start with a few spells of sunshine before turning increasingly sunny and mild. a top temperature of 15 degrees. more on our website and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour but let's go back to sally and john.

good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today... the cost of living rose more than expected last month with inflation remaining above 10%. the chancellor says 10.1% is how much average prices went up in the past year. food went up went up in the past year. food went up even more sharply, partly offset ljy up even more sharply, partly offset by a fall in the cost of fuel. the snp treasurer colin beattie has been released without charge — pending further investigation — after being questioned by police examining the party's finances. children conceived as a result of rape will soon be legally recognised as victims in england and wales. you're questioning everything about yourself.

looking in the mirror, almost like i could see the man who raped my mother looking back at me. in sport... feeling the blues as reality hits. where do chelsea go now? knocked out of the champions league by real madrid — all but ending their hopes of qualifying for the competition next season. # terrible tudors...# from the disgusting to the down right bizarre — we'll meet the team inspiring a generation of history—lovers. a cold start to the day in scotland and northern ireland. here we will have the lion's share of the sunshine today. for england and wales one or two showers around. it will brighten up in the east. we are hanging on to the brisk easterly wind, making it feel chilly. all of the details throughout the programme this morning.

it's wednesday, the 19th of april. the rate of inflation in the uk has dipped slightly but it remains above 10%. the average basket of goods cost 10.1% more in march this year than 12 months ago — that's slightly down comparison in february, but not by as much as expected. in the last half hour, the chancellor of the exchequer, jeremy hunt, has given his reaction to those figures. this is a small headline fall but it disguises a large rise in food inflation, which is causing pressure to families up and down the country as they see the cost of their weekly food shop going up. and it shows there is no such thing as an automatic full in the headline rate of inflation. that is why we have a plan. if we are going to reduce the pressure on families it is absolutely essential we stick to that plan and see it through so we have inflation this year as the

prime minister has promised. we can get more on this with ben, who's at a market in west london. tell us what impact this number has on everyone watching this morning. it means the cost of living crisis shows no signs of easing, at least for the time being. let's recap that figure of 10.1%. yes, for the time being. let's recap that figure of10.1%. yes, it for the time being. let's recap that figure of 10.1%. yes, it is a slowdown from the previous month when it was 10.4%. make no mistake prices are not falling, they are still rising but not quite as sharply as they had been. there are still some things, remember that is an average for a rise in the cost of goods and services compared with a year ago. goods and services compared with a yearago. some goods and services compared with a year ago. some things will have gone up year ago. some things will have gone up even more sharply than that and the chancellor referred to it there. feed, items like these and all sorts of other things you buy in the supermarkets and the shells of the shops, they are going up even more sharply. food inflation running at

19.2%. so that makes things a lot more expensive for families when you factor that into the cost of the weekly shop. there was a slight fall in the price of petrol and diesel. that is important because that affects so many other things. the cost of transporting all his goods around. if petrol and diesel start to full, it may start to feed through in the prices for goods that had to be shipped around. it takes some of the pressure down. the 10.1% rate of inflation is way above the bank of england target. we are way above it. it tends to lead to the bank of england increasing the base interest rate. at the moment it is 4.20 -- 4.25%, it may interest rate. at the moment it is 4.20 —— 4.25%, it may well go higher. that is the bank of england's way to rein in prices and help households who are feeling the

cost of living squeeze.— the treasurer of the scottish national party, colin beattie — who was arrested by police investigating the party's finances — has been released without charge, pending further investigation. the 71—year—old is the second figure in the party to be detained as part of the inquiry. we're joined now by our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. lorna, how is the party dealing with this? good morning. ithink good morning. i think this is a very difficult time, a time perhaps of deepening crisis for the snp. a party that has been the party of government here in scotland for more than 15 years. just hours before humza yousaf, the scottish first minister a new leader of the snp was due to make a major policy statement to the scottish parliament, his

party's treasurer, colin beattie was arrested and questioned by detectives. he is not a household name but he is a significant figure in the snp, he has been the party treasurer almost continuously for almost the last 20 years. he was released by the police pending without charge, pending further inquiries. an snp spokesperson said it had no comment to make pending the live investigation. the arrest comes two weeks after the arrest of the former chief executive of the snp, peter merrill, nicola sturgeon's have spend. he was also released without charge pending further inquiries. speaking to the bbc, one of the defeated candidates to lead the snp, kate forbes, described this as astonishing and mind blowing. she said it was a critical moment and decisive action needed to be taken or the snp would

be in trouble. humza yousaf has ordered a review into transparency in the way the snp is managed. he was trying to set the tone for his time in government over the next two years yesterday and it was overshadowed by the arrest of mr beattie. they were asked whether police will be looking at other senior figures police will be looking at other seniorfigures and police will be looking at other senior figures and who police will be looking at other seniorfigures and who might police will be looking at other senior figures and who might they question next, either under caution oras question next, either under caution or as a witness?— question next, either under caution or as a witness? thank you very much indeed. a terrible _ or as a witness? thank you very much indeed. a terrible story _ or as a witness? thank you very much indeed. a terrible story coming - or as a witness? thank you very much indeed. a terrible story coming out i indeed. a terrible story coming out of china this morning. at least 29 people — 16 women and 13 men — have died in a fire at a hospital in beijing. state media is reporting that the fire at changfeng hospital may have been caused by sparks created during building work. twelve people, including hospital officials and employees of the construction firm, have been detained. the former boss of the business group, the cbi, says his reputation has been "totally destroyed" after being fired over complaints about his behaviour.

the cbi did not comment but has said tony danker was dismissed on strong legal grounds. he acknowledged he had made some staff feel "very uncomfortable" — but says he's been wrongly associated with separate claims of serious offences that allegedly occurred at the organisation before hejoined. i want to apologise to anybody at the cbi that i upset, that i made uncomfortable. that's on me. but i have had a week of coverage saying, "tony danker sacked in rape scandal". and these stories have been about rape and sexual assault and cocaine and bullying. none of that was anything to do with me, and it was all before my time. an 84—year—old man in the us state of missouri has been charged with first—degree assault after shooting a black teenager who mistakenly rang his doorbell. ralph yarl — who is 16 —

went to the wrong address in kansas city while trying to collect his younger brothers. he survived the attack. andrew lester, who is white, was originally released without charge but detained again following protests. one in six children in england are living in overcrowded accommodation, according to new research. the national housing federation says that a chronic lack of social housing is limiting the life chances of hundreds of thousands of young people. the government says its spending £11.5 billion on the affordable homes programme to increase housing supply. the poppy we wear every november is changing, it is going green. not really green but it will be free of plastic. the new poppy — which will be available for this

year's appeal from october — is made entirely of paper and can be recycled through ordinary household collections. it's the first time the poppy has been revamped in 28 years. that little green better plastic we used to get on the back that used to go into your buttonhole has been replaced by cardboard and plastic. it has largely been made by bits of coffee cups, the waste fibres from the coffee cups. what a good idea exclamation money had red noses for red nose day which changed into paper and now we have poppies as well. this morning mixed fortunes. if you are in scotland and northern ireland are in scotland and northern ireland are cold start to the day but sunny. for england and wales more cloud around but they do have sunny spells. you can see that nicely on the charts. there is also as we move into the far south—west of england a few showers. they will drift towards

the west. you can see the breaks in cloud and sunshine. northern ireland and scotland seen a lot of sunshine to start the day. the other thing we haveis to start the day. the other thing we have is the brisk easterly wind. making it cooler on the north sea coast. the wind will be gusty. if you are exposed to it it feels chilly in the wind. look how the cloud breaks up in the east of england. here the sun will also come out. somewhere in the north west highlands today we could see 19 as the top temperature. generally we are looking at 12 to 14, 15. this evening and overnight the cloud continues to me the way, eventually pushing up into the atlantic, leaving us with clear skies. still a brisk north—easterly wind. we are looking at low cloud lingering over the pennines and coming in off the north sea coast of scotland. it would be cold enough for frost. north sea coast of scotland. it would be cold enough forfrost. in the south of the cold and last

night. the cloud in the pennines melts away tomorrow. a lot of dry weather to start with, a lot of sunshine after the chilly start. they are not too far away. it will take its time to clear from the north—east of scotland. through the course of the day the cloud will build in the south—east and we are looking at rain coming in. tomorrow there will be a brisk wind. temperatures ten in the north to 15 in the south. the north west highlands is where we could squeeze out a 17. next week looks like it will turn colder, especially at the start of the week. for will turn colder, especially at the start of the week.— will turn colder, especially at the start of the week. for now, thank ou ve start of the week. for now, thank you very much — start of the week. for now, thank you very much indeed. _ children conceived as a result of rape will soon be legally recognised as victims in england and wales — giving them better access to information and support services. that's the pledge from the government.

but what's it like to know that your child — or even your own existence — came from sexual violence? sammy woodhouse was a victim of the rotherham grooming scandal and fell pregnant to her abuser when she was just 15. she's made a new bbc documentary in which she meets other mothers and children born from abuse. emma ailes has more on this — and you may find the content of this discussion upsetting. that was literallyjust minutes after i'd give birth to him. i just looked so young. becoming a mum was one of the happiest moments of sammy's life. but when her son was only 12, she had to tell him a painful truth — that the man he called dad had raped and abused her, and that's how he was born. he didn't want to be the person who he was. in his own skin. i blamed myself. i felt so stupid. sammy and her son struggled alone with the difficult emotions. it's only now, years later,

that she's discovering they're not the only ones. you're questioning everything about yourself, looking in the mirror. almost like i could see the man who raped my mother looking back at me. neil grew up adopted. the birth mother was raped by a stranger in a park and that's how neil was born. finding out was a gut—wrenching moment. when you hear those words, it's like somebody�*s... almost like a video game. ..punched into your chest and ripped your insides out. ijust broke down. so i did meet with my birth mother. and one of the first things i said to her was, if i look like the man who did this to you, walk away. and what did she say? she said it's fine, you don't look like him. that really changed things for me. the man who did that to my birth mother is... he isjust nothing to me. to all intents and purposes, i don't think of myself as having a birth father. i have my birth mother, and that's it. and that's enough. research suggests thousands of women become pregnant from rape

in the uk each year. mandy had her son as a result of being abused by her father. this is the first time she's ever talked openly about how that feels. do you think it's different for us as mums having a child conceived through abuse to having children conceived in a happy relationship? yeah. how do you think it's different? before i had my other children, i thought i knew having a baby were. and then when i had my proper children, it sounds awful to say —— before i had my other children, i thought i knew what loving a baby were. and then when i had my proper children, it sounds awful to say that, i knew where it was. he wasn't conceived out of love, he was conceived... ..by a monster. but by god, i love him. but. . .yeah, yeah. i always say i'm the survivor, my son's a victim because he is. because a crime happened to me,

it happened to him as well. for mothers and children born of rape, the coming change in the law is a moment for celebration. it will give them the legal right to information and support. and, after decades in the shadows, it's a sign that their voices are finally being heard. emma ailes, bbc news. it isa it is a difficult but really important subject. something we don't often talk about. sammy woodhouse and neil, who we saw in the piece, join us now. why was it so important to make this and speak to others? i why was it so important to make this and speak to others?— and speak to others? i “umped at the chance to and speak to others? i “umped at the cahnce to be — and speak to others? i “umped at the chance to be involved. — and speak to others? ijumped at the chance to be involved. it _ and speak to others? ijumped at the chance to be involved. it has - chance to be involved. it has affected my own life. my son has had affected my own life. my son has had a really difficult time going through this. when i have been speaking to other people, even though we had different stories, we have all struggled so much. we have done that alone. for me i think it

is important to give people a platform. it is such a to be a subject. nobody talks about this and we need to change that. {lister subject. nobody talks about this and we need to change that.— we need to change that. over the ears he we need to change that. over the years he had _ we need to change that. over the years he had been _ we need to change that. over the years he had been instrumental. we need to change that. over the | years he had been instrumental in changing that, haven't you? how difficult has it been to persuade other people to talk? it difficult has it been to persuade other people to talk?— other people to talk? it can be really difficult. _ other people to talk? it can be really difficult. not _ other people to talk? it can be really difficult. not many - other people to talk? it can be i really difficult. not many people are talking about it. i think that now the documentary is coming out, i have already had people contacting me, saying i want to take part in a documentary number two. in the space of a few hours at this coming out, people wanting to find their voices. i think we owe it to them. we people wanting to find their voices. i think we owe it to them.— people wanting to find their voices. i think we owe it to them. we saw a cli of i think we owe it to them. we saw a clip of you — i think we owe it to them. we saw a clip of you in _ i think we owe it to them. we saw a clip of you in the — i think we owe it to them. we saw a clip of you in the shorter— i think we owe it to them. we saw a clip of you in the shorter piece. - clip of you in the shorter piece. there is more in the documentary itself. why did you want to take part in it? i imagine it is something we heard you talking about, why put yourself out there?

in the metropolitan police despite three decades of campaigning. baroness doreen lawrence has been paying tribute to her son ahead of the anniversary of his death this weekend. it comes only weeks after the casey report into the met found evidence of institutional racism. she says the recent finding don't surprise her. i don't know how many more inquiries and how many reviews you need to have to say the same thing, and still no changes, and still denials. so it was no surprise, you know, because i think as a family we've lived through it for so many years, and we know what it's been like. and so that is no surprise to me whatsoever. sir mark rowley, the commissioner of the met, has admitted there are severe shortcomings, but the met is not the same force it was 20 or 25 years ago. surrey police has been reprimanded for recording more than 200,000 phone calls without people's knowledge. it followed the roll—out of an app which recorded phone

but also some sunny spells. probably best through the second half of today, and there's a nagging, a chilly easterly wind blowing, and in exposure to that, it will feel quite cold, i think, at times. now, for this morning, we're starting off on a mild note. there is some early brightness, but it won't be too long before we start to see this cloud roll in, and some of the cloud could be thick enough to produce a few spots of drizzle. but generally most of us will stay dry, and the sunshine will re—emerge as we head through this afternoon. top temperatures in the best of the sunshine, as high as 13—15, so a little warmer than it was yesterday, but we've still got that very blustery easterly wind blowing. across parts of essex and kent i think it will be cooler. now, this evening and overnight, lots of long clear spells. it's a chillier start to thursday when again it's looking dry with some sunshine, but we could see some showers perhaps. by the end of the day we've still got that easterly wind. more on our website and on bbc radio london. i'll be back in half an hour, but let's go back to sally and jon.

didn't you. i knewjon was going to do that, so i knewjon was going to do that, so i didn't bother. sally and gethin talking there about inflation rates. the chancellorjeremy hunt has insisted the uk is on course to halve inflation this year despite the latest figures, which were released this morning, showing that a typical basket of goods is still more than 10% more expensive than it was a year ago. ben's at a fruit and veg market in west london. ben, what's the reaction among stallholders there? iimagine you i imagine you have been watching the price closely. i have indeed, as have the trays —— traders here. food comes in from all over the world, we have these mandarins from morocco, and raspberries also from morocco. some things from brazil, lots of stuff coming in from all over the world, and lots of it is linked to that key

figure that we heard about this morning, inflation, the average rise in the cost of notjust food, but goods and services as a whole. we found out that in march it was at 10.1%, so that means on average, if you bought a whole range of items a year ago, they would cost you £100, now they would cost you £110. food has gone up even more sharply, 19.2% is the average rate of food inflation. let speak to one of the wholesalers here. joe, what are you noticing in terms of any easing up in the rate of inflation, the cost pressures of the business? the. in the rate of inflation, the cost pressures of the business? a few weeks ago. _ pressures of the business? a few weeks ago. it _ pressures of the business? a few weeks ago, it looks _ pressures of the business? a few weeks ago, it looks as _ pressures of the business? a few weeks ago, it looks as if- pressures of the business? a few weeks ago, it looks as if we - pressures of the business? a few weeks ago, it looks as if we had i pressures of the business? a few| weeks ago, it looks as if we had a few shortages on peppers, tomatoes, things like that. now things are coming into season and prices are easing, but they are not back down to where they were previously, so inflation has had an effect across the range. we inflation has had an effect across the ranae. ~ :, inflation has had an effect across the ranae. . :, :, inflation has had an effect across the range-— the range. we learned that fuel rices the range. we learned that fuel prices have _ the range. we learned that fuel prices have fallen _ the range. we learned that fuel prices have fallen in _ the range. we learned that fuel prices have fallen in the - the range. we learned that fuel prices have fallen in the last -

year, and we are expecting the overall rate of inflation to fall overall rate of inflation to fall over the course of 2023 to around 4.5%, and so inflation is expected to fall, but will remain well above the 2% target, so the cost of living crisis will continue for a while yet even there we are expecting an improvement. ii even there we are expecting an improvement-— even there we are expecting an imrovement. :, , :, :, :_ improvement. if what you are saying is that price — improvement. if what you are saying is that price pressures _ improvement. if what you are saying is that price pressures will _ improvement. if what you are saying is that price pressures will ease, - is that price pressures will ease, does that mean the bank of england will necessarily put up interest rates to try and rein in prices, or might they keep the interest rates at 4.25% as it is now? i might they keep the interest rates at 4.25% as it is now?— at 4.25% as it is now? i think toda 's at 4.25% as it is now? i think today's higher _ at 4.25% as it is now? i think today's higher than - at 4.25% as it is now? i think today's higher than expectedj at 4.25% as it is now? i think- today's higher than expected rate of inflation means that they will probably raise interest rates again in may to 4.5%, because inflation is still above 10% and they have got to bring that down. increases in interest rates can be painful. it

increases the cost of things like mortgages, and they are an incentive to save and not tomorrow. but it is the main mechanism that the bank of england has, but it is still a painful tool for households, it does hit borrowing in particular. but the whole point is that it lowers demand and eases the pressure in the economy from consumers buying more, if they buy a bit less, the prices night not rise at the same pace. thank you very much. so, let's just recap, let's put it all in context. inflation stood at 10.1% in march, thatis inflation stood at 10.1% in march, that is a slight fall from the 10.4% that is a slight fall from the 10.4% that it was in february. but make no mistake, that doesn't mean prices are falling. it simply means they are falling. it simply means they are not rising quite as sharply as they had been before, and it's something that people will notice in all of the things that they buy, things are significantly more expensive than they were just a year ago. and even within the food price

inflation, we mention food price inflation, we mention food price inflation average of 19.2%, that itself is on average, and you will have noticed certain items have gone up have noticed certain items have gone up even more than that, eggs, milk, pasta, some of those have doubled within the past couple of years, so the cost of living crisis is still very much a reality for households up very much a reality for households up and down the country. those figures really important to know, but we can't avoid the reality. thank you very much indeed. john is hit with the sport, and there was no miracle for chelsea last night. know, and i think that was the help. frank lampard wanted to be their hero, but they have lost every match so far, and you wonder how long until chelsea will get back to the top once again? how do they do it? they have invested heavily, so i don't think it is a case of lack of money. it isjust don't think it is a case of lack of money. it is just trying to knit it altogether. new players, new manager, and they will have to start afresh next season because i think this season for them is over now,

their hopes of qualifying for europe again really is over. good morning. there are a whole raft of chelsea fans who've got used to serial success. premier league and champions league trophes. not this season, as real won 2—0 at stamford bridge last night, 4—0 on aggregate, to reach the semi—finals. that all but confirms for the first time in 26 years chelsea will be without european football next season. four defeats in a row since frank lampard took temporary charge. 11th in the table, and many wondering how long it will take to get chelsea back to the top. i don't think it's time to jump too far ahead in the step that's in front of you. the step that's in front of us is seven games in the premier league to show that performance, because that's the standard, and of course the end bit, being clinical scoring, is actually crucial. that's something we need to address. things looking much more optimistic for manchester city. they're still piling the pressure on arsenal for the premier league title, in contention for the fa cup and surely have one foot into the champions league semi—finals.

that's because they go into their quarter—final with bayern munich 3—0 up from the first leg. but manager pep guardiola isn't counting his chickens yet against a club he used to manage. i'v e i've been here in bayern munich, and i've been here in bayern munich, and i know the talent of this club. it's in everywhere, it is in the skin. and i know that they believe they can do it. we believe too, but when you are in these type of clubs, and we are going to try to build this feeling, that whatever happens, we can do it. f feeling, that whatever happens, we candoit. j : :, , :, can do it. they've certainly got the momentum- _ some good news for england cricket fans. jonny bairstow says he will be available for england's first test of the summer, after recovering from a broken leg and dislocated ankle. bairstow hasn't played since he injured himself in a freak accident on the golf course last september. he's won the wisden trophy test award for his performance

against india last summer and hopes to be back on the field in the next few weeks. it's not been easy at all. it's been my first long—term injury over however many years that i've now been playing, and just dealing with that itself has been tricky at times, but we get through that, and it's all about this summer. it's going to be a really exciting spectacle. look, it's imminent, we're not far away, and things have been tracking in the right direction. looking suited and booted at that do. and what do you make of this? a long distance runner starting a race, then hitching a lift to the finish line. tracking data from one runner competing good friday�*s manchester to liverpool ultra marathon found she'd achieved a super human top speed of 35 mph — that's faster than usain bolt in his prime. joasia zakrzewski, on the left is said to have told friends she felt sick after flying in from australia the day before

which is why she accepted the lift covering around 2.5 miles in a car, before crossing the line in third. she has been disqualified. she has said sorry! so many questions! those trackers, the technology, you can't get away with that kind of thing. and surely someone would have seen? they are on a road between manchester and liverpool, someone came along in a car. and then getting out close to the finish line? getting a medal? exactly. i don't know. but yes, the person who came behind her has now been upgraded. good. we've now got less than four weeks to go until eurovision, and one of the biggest cheers of the night in liverpool will go to the ukrainian entry, tvorchi. but what do they

actually sound like? 0ur ukraine correspondent james waterhouse went to meet them and see them perform — his report contains flashing images. singing. there aren't many reasons for being in a nightclub during the afternoon. but a sound check is one of them. minus one, minus two. jeffrey plus andrii together make tvorchi, ukraine's electronic eurovision entry. and this is the song they're hoping to win it with — heart of steel. # don't care what you say. # don't care how you feel. # get out of my way.

we can describe it in three words — strength, confidence and positivity. so this is basically a song about strong people who are staying in a good attitude in their negative situation. # i got a heart of steel. tvorchi won't be allowed to be political in liverpool. however, in lviv they're not shying away from their message. for us it's important to win so our country win this war against the occupants who came in our land. and about the eurovision. our mission is, you know, to represent our country the best way possible and do our best. if you're going to win eurovision, we will appreciate that too, you know? since winning the public vote last year, jeffrey and andrii have had rehearsals interrupted by air raid sirens. reasons like this why organisers have moved this year's contest from ukraine to the uk. i would say no harm done, because at least they're doing it on behalf of the ukraine.

so we know they're going to make the, you know make... everything nice. make it to the best of their abilities. some tvorchi takeaways, then. it is a powerful electronic sound. the lyrics are defiant, and it's that which connects with their ukrainian fans. but the eurovision question will be whether they can do it for a global audience. the previous year it was about the war, and now we have to show people that ukraine isjust a culture. it's about our language and about ukraine. we continue to show the world that ukraine is strong - and we are not going anywhere. and both on eurovision and in the world, in the geopoliticall structure and so on.

it's in the nearby city of ternopil where the story of tvorchi begins in 2016. yes, right over there. jeffrey, originally from nigeria, came here to study pharmacy. andrii had done the same, and wanted someone to practise his english with. like this. he was like... that way? yeah. and then i come back and gave a tap his shoulder like this. and what did you say? i said i would like to check on my english skills. in my head i was like, what the hell? and then he was like, i want to try my english. i was like, oh, 0k. a chain of events would ultimately bring them eurovision, with some local fame on the way. awesome. although not everyone will be tuning in. translation: i've watched | eurovision in previous years, but this time i'm not following it because the news about eventsl in ukraine are more important now.

when russia invaded the country, jeffrey decided to stay in ukraine for their music. now it's their music which is making them leave — for liverpool. james waterhouse, bbc news, western ukraine. and just three weeks to go. we are going to find out in the next few minutes, what is the worstjob in the world? who has been the worst leader in history? there is some competition for that! the worst castle and palace. we have got the guide behind horrible histories, they have got a league table. a life draw! not us. carol, help us. good morning. you too have so many

talents! good morning, everybody. yesterday, in kinlochwe in the highlands, temperatures reached almost 21 celsius, and today it is a cold start to the day, cold in braemar, but this is where we have blue skies. there was little more cloud around, but that will help maintain the temperature level overnight. you can see some of that cloud in shropshire. the high pressure that his dominating our weather at the moment has drifted a little further west. look at the isobars tells you we have brisk easterly winds once again, that is a chilly direction, and will keep the edge of the temperatures. there are sunny spells this morning, but also quite a bit of cloud. the showers in the south—west which have been affecting john in newquay pulling away, and that could but well be thick enough for the odd spot of

drizzle here and there. but it will brighten up across eastern england. these white circles represent average wind speeds, but don't forget that brisk easterly, and at best down the north sea coastline, looking at 12—13, as our top temperatures even inland, you will notice the breeze, 19 quite possible in the sunshine in the north—west highlands. pollen levels today, we are talking pollen, high or very high for most of scotland and all of england and wales. through this evening and overnight, the dregs of the cloud push away from england and wales, and eventually out of northern ireland, leaving us with clear skies. there will be some load cloud, and it will be a colder night across england and wales than it was last night in scotland, we can see temperatures falling away to —1, —2, so there will be some frost around. it does mean a lot of sunshine from the word go. the cloud that we have across the pennines melts away, but

the haar coming in from the north sea could take time before it disappears. here, too, a weather front coming in from the near continent, introducing thicker cloud and also some rain. 10—15 north to south and in the west highlands once again, could see round about 17. as we move from thursday night into friday and then into saturday, look at all the weather fronts crossing us. they are going to bring rain and eventually getting into northern ireland and scotland with more rain coming into southern england. for england and wales, a lot of cloud, the rain coming in through the day and building in northern ireland, may be for the odd shower, scotland hanging in through the sunshine. temperatures 11 to about 13 degrees, 16 in glasgow. and it is as we head into the weekend, again it turns a bit more unsettled, there will be rain around us we saw, and it is going to turn cooler and especially

as we move from sunday into monday, pulling more of a northerly wind, that will make it feel a lot colder. they will be some wintry showers in the hills in the north. that pesky pollen is getting all of us! you are not wrong, that is exactly what it is. nearly ten to nine. younger viewers may not believe this, but there was a time when children's history books were mainly dry and dusty tomes with absolutely no jokes, cartoons or toilet humour. then, 30 years ago, horrible histories came along and changed all that. in a moment we'll speak to the author terry deary and illustrator martin brown, who have just released a new book to mark the anniversary. first let's see a bit of the horrible histories tv series. in stuart times, the english king was really unpopular. so unpopular, in fact, that some people started a war against him. the king lost, and that's not all he lost.

you join us here on this saddest of days in 1649 for the funeral of our beloved king charles i. let's have a word with him now. your majesty. i can't help noticing this is your funeral, but you're not dead yet. well, i will be shortly. i'm about to be executed by oliver cromwell and his puritans for high treason. isn't high treason a crime against the king? and surely you are the king? precisely. i did try to tell the court that they had no right to sit in judgment over a monarch. and they told you...? to...bog off. i notice you're wearing two shirts for the occasion. yes, well spotted. i don't want the weather to cause any shivers that the crowd might mistake for fear. a wise precaution. maybe i should have worn two pairs of underpants. hmm. well, it looks like they're

ready for you now. here goes. here goes! horrible histories changed everything about how we think about the past and how we teach the past. we are nowjoined by horrible histories author terry deary and illustrator martin brown. 30 years! 30 years. it is very much like that. 30 years! 30 years. it is very much like that- is — 30 years! 30 years. it is very much like that. is like _ 30 years! 30 years. it is very much like that. is like the _ 30 years! 30 years. it is very much like that. is like the history - 30 years! 30 years. it is very much like that. is like the history of - like that. is like the history of horrible histories. _ like that. is like the history of horrible histories. somebody| like that. is like the history of - horrible histories. somebody said we are histo ! horrible histories. somebody said we are history! was— horrible histories. somebody said we are history! was it _ horrible histories. somebody said we are history! was it hard _ horrible histories. somebody said we are history! was it hard to _ horrible histories. somebody said we are history! was it hard to pitch - are history! was it hard to pitch oriainall are history! was it hard to pitch originally present _ are history! was it hard to pitch originally present because - are history! was it hard to pitch originally present because it. are history! was it hard to pitch | originally present because it was such a change from the way history had been treated on paper in the past. it had been treated on paper in the ast. :, , had been treated on paper in the .ast, ., , :, had been treated on paper in the ast. :, , :, :_ had been treated on paper in the .ast, ., , :, :, past. it was the other way round, the publisher— past. it was the other way round, the publisher said _ past. it was the other way round, the publisher said to _ past. it was the other way round, the publisher said to us _ past. it was the other way round, the publisher said to us and - past. it was the other way round, the publisher said to us and said | past. it was the other way round, i the publisher said to us and said we have got this idea that maybe we can make history entertaining. we will write a historyjoke book. where did the french by their guillotines? in the french by their guillotines? in
