good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. our headlines today... time is running out to rescue british nationals from sudan before the fragile ceasefire between warring army factions ends tonight. the biggest changes to gambling in decades are set to be announced by the government later — but campaigners fear they won't go far enough. thousands of teachers in england are back out on strike today, in their ongoing dispute over pay. it's a manchester city masterclass, as they control the title race. they tear leaders arsenal apart in a 4—1 win, and city will now be confident of overtaking the gunners

and retaining their premier league title. liverpool's trent alexander—arnold tells us why he's launching a scheme to help young players who are released by club academies. a lot of people still find it difficult to kind of open up and feel vulnerable, and are scared of that feeling of failure again. good morning. there is a lot of cloud out there for most of us and some outbreaks of rain. the weather is going to be warming up in the next few days. details here on bbc breakfast. good morning. it's thursday, the 27th of april. our main story. british evacuation teams are working to rescue more people from sudan before the country's fragile ceasefire ends tonight. more than 500 people have already left on uk flights, with another due to land this morning. but the foreign secretary said he can't guarantee how many

further planes will depart once the 72—hour truce expires. simonjones reports. back on british soil, escaping the conflict, hundreds of people have now left sudan as part of the british evacuation mission. but the clock is ticking for many more uk nationals still in the country wanting to get out. at stansted airport, the relief of families reunited was clear. stories to recount of the terrifying journey to get to evacuation flights near the capital, khartoum. it's difficult to say how... ..stomach churning it was. you know, you lose appetite. you're just constantly in stress. you don't know what's going to happen. am i going to make it? am i going to...? it was glad by the time we got to the airport and we saw the british forces, the british planes.

it was very, very tension relieving. and there were thoughts for those left behind. we just thank god for, you know, for bringing us here. and we just pray that everyone back home is safe and, you know, everything becomes better. some fear their loved ones might never return. yeah, it's a very- terrible experience. but, eh... you must be so happy to have them back? of course. this is what they're escaping — khartoum scarred by heavy fighting. the fragile ceasefire is due to end tonight. the british government says it can't guarantee how many further evacuation flights will be able to depart once that happens. the international community is calling for an end to the violence. the bloodshed we have seen over the past ten days in sudan is heartbreaking, in a country whose people have

already suffered so much in recent years. who welcomes the ceasefire agreed between the parties. we urge all parties to fully respect it. questions still remain about the speed of the british response. and there are now fears the airfield near khartoum being used by the raf is starting to break up because of the number of planes that have been using it, adding yet more uncertainty to an already volatile situation. simon jones, bbc news. we can speak to our reporter nick garnett, who's at larnaca airport in cyprus, where sudan evacuees have been leaving for the uk. good morning. we heard of the enormous relief there from some of those who had managed to escape sudan. �* , . , sudan. are we expecting flights toda ?

here is happy about it. tom wicks edits the golden pages watford fanzine. i think watford is known as the original family club. we shouldn't have gambling sponsors associated with us. these days, smartphones can act like a casino in your pocket. but they weren't invented the last time there were big changes to gambling laws. later this morning, the government will unveil its plans. we're expecting the industry will now be forced to pay a percentage of what they make — a compulsory levy — to fund education, treatment and research. it's thought reformers have won new affordability checks. so if someone loses a £1,000 in a day, for example, but the government is not believed to be planning to tighten up controls on sports advertising and marketing. ijust have huge respect for people who have been campaigning for years for this change. that will disappoint campaigners, people like charles and liz ritchie, who spent the last six years demanding reform. we're not prohibitionist. we're not saying

people can't gamble. but it's the role that advertising has of normalising this as a product, that it's a risk free activity. and it's the starting point of dragging young people, children in particular. you know, they go to the football ground where their heroes are. football is so important in this country and they see this product, it'sjust another fun thing to be involved in. and that is the issue with gambling advertising. their son, jack ritchie, took his own life in 2017, after developing an addiction to gambling that began in his teens. they set up the charity gambling with lives soon after. the industry has achieved a level of victory already in that it's successfully delayed this white paper for the last two to three years. that's 1000 people dead. that's hundreds of thousands of people whose lives have been irrevocably harmed.

where's the government to stop this? they've been lobbied. mps who've lobbied for tighter laws, however, welcomed the government's plans, calling them a turning point in online betting regulation. the chief executive of the betting and gaming council, which represents the industry, says... for the ritchies, whatever the government announces today comes too late to save jack. but they continue working to try to save others. katie razzall, bbc news. pupils are facing more disruption this morning, as teachers in england go on strike for the fourth time this year. more than half of schools

in england were closed on previous strike days, as members of the national education union walked out in a row over pay. 0ur reporter graham satchell is in east london. 0utside outside a school, we can see behind you. what kind of disruption could we expect to see today? there will be significant disruption in schools across england. not all of them will be shut. we think only about half. if they are open, there will still be disruption because many of the teachers will go out. we are at wanstead high school in east london. no activity yet. but we are expecting a picket line later this morning. it is a headache for parents trying to organise last—minute childcare and for students, many of whom are now entering that key gcse and a—level period and will have needed all the support they can get. in essence, this is still a dispute about pay. in february, teachers were offered

4.3% here in england. they want something more than inflation, currently around 10%, so you can see the gap. they say in real terms they pay has gone down more than 20% since 2010. i should say that in other nations in the uk, wales and northern ireland, there are separate disputes going on. strikes in northern ireland yesterday. in scotland, teachers have accepted a pay rise of 7%. a strike in england today, next tuesday, and more strike dates planned for the summer term. graham, thank you very much. midwives in england have voted to accept an nhs pay offer, according to the royal college of midwives. further health care strikes are still set to take this weekend though, as members of the royal college of nursing have already turned down the offer, which includes a 5% pay rise. nurses are set to walk out for a 48—hour strike on april 30th. temperatures in spain could reach some of the highest figures ever seen in the month of april, later today. the country has been experiencing abnormally hot weather,

usually seen in the summer. spain's weather agency has warned that the heat means large parts of the country would be at a high or extreme risk of wildfires. plans aimed at stopping people crossing the channel in small boats have been approved by mps, after the government won a house of commons vote by 289 votes to 230. the law means anyone who arrives on small boats will not be able to claim asylum and will be deported. we're joined by chief political correspondent nick eardley. morning to you. this was an important debate. there was some significant voices, tory backbenchers included, who were raising issues?— raising issues? there were. but i think it was _ raising issues? there were. but i think it was also _ raising issues? there were. but i think it was also really _ raising issues? there were. but i think it was also really important j think it was also really important that none of them actually rebelled against the government last night, as had been suggested might happen

over the past few weeks. remember, this bill is a big part of the government pass or test that it has set itself, the big test to stop the boats, as the prime minister puts it. this legislation is seen as a key part of delivering that by the government stop the tightened up parts of the bill because some conservative mps, who, i think it is fair to say, conservative mps, who, i think it is fairto say, are conservative mps, who, i think it is fair to say, are on the right of the party, wanted it to take a fair approach. they wanted the home secretary to have the power to waive injunctions that stop people being deported. some injunctions in the past from european courts have infuriated conservatives and stopped flights taking off to rwanda. the government is giving itself more power to ignore some of those injunctions. but what it didn't

happen yesterday, those on the centre of the party wanted to see more measures designed to allow people to come to the uk to claim asylum legally, and limits on how long children can be detained if they arrive in the uk illegally, none of that was actually changed yesterday. there had been promises from the god or that they will do that at the next stage of the legislative process, which is of the house of lords, but we don't know exactly what that will look like just yet. i think it is also important to say this has got through the house of commons without any major dustup between conservative mps. but i do think it will be tricky for the government in the house of lords because the government doesn't have a majority in there. there are lots of members of the house of lords uncomfortable with this. it means the uk wouldn't be following all of its international obligations. it has got through the house of commons. there is probably a big battle coming in the house of lords over it, and all the while the government

will say, they stuff is absolutely essential to stopping boats. labour says it won't work, the lib dems say it is unfair. w' says it won't work, the lib dems say it is unfair-— legoland has unveiled a special royal scene to mark the king's coronation next week. a miniature replica of buckingham palace will go on display at the windsor attraction today. it features king and queen consort figurines on the balcony, a gold state coach, and the coronation concert, and it took more than a thousand hours to build. the scene will be there for visitors to see until november. that's amazing. it is all in the little details. isn't itjust? quite a feat. let's check on the weather with sarah. good morning. check on the weather with sarah. good morning-— check on the weather with sarah. good morning. check on the weather with sarah.

not too bad for hay fever sufferers. you will notice a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain could to continue as we head outbreaks of rain could to continue as we head throu-h outbreaks of rain could to continue as we head throu-h the outbreaks of rain could to continue as we head throu-h the evenin- outbreaks of rain could to continue as we head throu-h the evenin- hours as we head through the evening hours and tonight. thank you. many children dream of becoming a professional footballer, but the sad reality is that very few will achieve that goal. england star trent alexander—arnold rose through the youth ranks at liverpool, but he's now trying to help those who weren't as lucky as him. he's launching the after academy, to help former players with career opportunities after football. sally went to meet him at home to find out what it's all about. i'm trent and i play for liverpool football club. millions dream of becoming a footballer, but very few make it. as far back as i remember i always loved football. my first memories were playing with my brothers and just enjoying it. i was fortunate enough to go to a half—term camp at liverpool academy

when i was only six. within the first ten or 15 minutes of that, i was scouted, and from that moment on i've been a liverpool player. now he wants there to be more support for those released from football academies. anyone who's been through these experiences, please get in touch, i want to talk to you. i want to learn, i want to know what you're going through. i want to be able to help you and do as much as i can. "trent, i've seen your video on instagram about players released from academies. "i struggle to find a way into the outside world because all i knew was football." "trent, i turn 25 next week, and i still suffer from being released at the age of 15 and 16. "in the end, i gave up. "i went into a deep state of depression. "i put myself and my whole family through hell. "it wasn't my fault. it wasn't football's fault. "it's just a flawed part

of the game that no one has thought about before." "i was in the academy system from age seven to 15 and ultimately never made it in football. "so when that failure does roll around, it does leave you feeling empty and like you've failed and have no purpose beyond being a footballer." he sighs. i've seen first hand the struggles and the difficulties that players have when they're released from football clubs. and i think it's gone on too long and now it's time for change. josh and liam were released from football as teenagers. it still has an impact on them both today. i played with trent at liverpool academy for eight years. being an academy kid was exciting, but it also came with a lot of pressure. i was released at 16, had loads of injuries that i went through. it left me feeling a bit lost, a bit unsure what i could do next. i was obviously told -

i was going to be released. to be honest, that was probably the first heartbreak— i've ever gone through. i can remember going back to the changing rooms - and just bursting into tears. in that moment it genuinely felt like it had been- taken away from you, - and there was nothing left. trent is launching a new initiative, the after academy. the aim, to offer players a plan b if football doesn't work out. you must have been a bit like family? yeah, yeah, it is. it's like a group of brothers. inseparable. i think that's why it l made it even harder, because the bonds that we had created, you knew, _ inevitably it was - going to come to an end and it wasn't going to be what it was. i liam and josh, in yourjobs now, when you work and someone chats to you and say, "oh, what school did you go to? "how did you get into this business?" what do you say to them? it's tough to to even bring up sometimes.

there's good memories, obviously, and there's also lows as well. even when you do explain the story, i don't think. unless you've really- lived it, you truly relate and understand it. i mean, i think i get so many times all, like, little jokes — _ "oh, you used to play for liverpool and now you're doing this." - obviously in my industry i work in, on sewers, drainage. _ it's quite a manly industry. so you do get a lot - of them side jokes that obviously are light—hearted - and people don't think affect you, but they definitely take their effect. it's just something i've learnt through the emails and having conversations, is that a lot of people still find it difficult to kind of open up and feel vulnerable, and are scared of that feeling of failure again. that's the biggest struggle i still find daily, is the self—belief- or the fear of failing, _ giving my all to something again, committing everything to it, to come out a failure, - it sometimes gets the better of me.

the thing is, it's notjust the player. it's a family sacrifice. if someone in your in your family is an academy player, everything centres around that person. at the end of the day, it's a business. you're playing with human beings. it's not — we're not commodities. we're notjust moving pieces. you know, we're humans who are sacrificing a lot at a young age to even have a small chance at this. the pfa say they will help trent to develop his initiative as the footballer uses his voice for change. for me, the after academy is a dream. and in that dream, it's quite simple, really. i want any kid or any footballer who gets released from a football club to have somewhere to turn to, to have someone or an institution or a set up to turn to where

they feel like they can go and find support. really interesting, isn't it? from a very young age you have been told you have that enormous potential, and that —— then for it to be taken away as a teenager, it is hard for those players and their families. have you, or someone you know ever applied for an academy, had an expense of trying to make it as a professional? we would love to get your experiences fear. —— had an experience. there's a new way to contact us at bbc breakfast. you can now send us a message on whatsapp. the number is 0330123 0440, 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. let's take a look at today's papers. the times reports former sub—postmasters and mistresses wrongly

accused of stealing money, due to a computer accounting error, have died without getting compensation payouts. the picture is of a madame tussauds waxwork of camilla, the queen consort, being given some finishing touches ahead of the coronation next week. the daily express leads with home secretary suella braverman vowing to get more police officers on the streets. the paper reports she plans to slash the amount of unnecessary" admin, as well as stripping away woke policing practices. doctors are urging the public not to buy illegal and dangerous prescription weight—loss drugs online, the i reports. it says it has found black market prescription injections for sale on a facebook slimming group. a quick look inside the papers. are you a fan of fish fingers? you

seven men and three women have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was found stabbed in a west london street. police were called to brentwick gardens in brentford early yesterday morning following reports of intruders at a house nearby. tributes have been paid to a london marathon runner who died as he travelled home from the race on sunday. steve shanks from nottingham was described as a "very experienced runner" who had completed the marathon in under three hours. the organisers of sunday's race have expressed their sincere condolences to his family. with just nine days to go before the coronation, regent street and st james's in central london have unveiled plans of how the area will be decorated. both areas see the return of union jack flags — the area will be decorated with 150 flags from today. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. just severe delays on thejubilee line to warn you about.

and for all the latest travel news where you are, tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now onto the weather with kat. good morning to you. a mostly cloudy picture out there today. we are expecting showery rain to move in later this afternoon but we start this morning on a mostly dry note. any bright spells will be replaced by plenty of cloud and here is the showery rain expected to move in much later this afternoon, and that rain will be very on and off through the day and we are looking at highs of around 14 celsius and the winds will pick up slightly so there will be a noticeable breeze around. through the evening, the rain will continue and we might get the odd heavy burst and could hear the odd rumble of thunder. but eventually the rain will clear out of the east and there will be plenty of cloud lingering through the night but it will turn largely dry. temperatures will fall away

to around 11 celsius, so a very mild starting to friday morning. friday will start on a cloudy note but through the course of the day, the cloud is expected to break quite nicely to allow for those bright and sunny spells. a lovely end to friday but still quite breezy though, but slightly warmer, up to around 18 celsius. a sunny start to saturday. a little more cloud through the afternoon and we will still hold on to some sunny spells and on saturday we could hit 20 celsius. that's it. don't forget you can keep up to date by downloading the bbc news app. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. tension between teachers and the government shows no sign of breaking, as union members in england take strike action for the fourth time this year, disrupting parents and pupils once more. the sticking point is pay and conditions. ros atkins has been taking a closer look at the dispute. another teachers strike is here. thousands of schools in england are affected, and this is the teachers' demand.

we are asking for a fully funded, inflation—proof pay rise to correct the long—term decline in teacher pay. it's true, there has been a decline in teacher pay in real terms in the last decade. real terms pay being when we take into account the effect of rising prices of things like food. and if we look at inflation, or in other words the cost of living in the uk, its currently increasing at 10% a year. and then look at this graph. it shows us the decade up to march last year, the most recent point for where we have data across a number of professions. inflation is marked in red, and average pay across professions is in blue, and as you can see, pay is tracked close to or above inflation. but differentjobs have seen wages grow at different rates. here is another graph of the same period. inflation again is in red, but this time in blue it's train

and tram drivers pay. here, pay is consistently increasing faster than prices. the blue line has stayed above the red line. so by march last year, drivers pay was £5,000 per year higher than if it had tracked inflation. but this is nurses. their pay, marked in blue, hasn't kept up. it was £400 a year lower than if it had tracked inflation. and then this is teachers. their average pay, again, is marked in blue. it also hasn't kept up. if it had, last march the average teacher salary would have been nearly £44,000. in reality, it was less than 41,000. in other words, the salary of the average teacher was £3000 lower in real terms in march 2022 than it was in 2012. now, these graphs only go to march last year and bear in mind since then prices have risen by 10%. most teachers have had a pay rise of 5% in september, some up to 9%. not enough to keep up with prices.

the non—partisan institute for fiscal studies says it all adds up to this. teachers have seen poor wage growth over the last decade or more. they've often seen large drops in average earnings. and in fact they've seen big drops in average earnings than most public sector workers 011 average. we also know this gap between salary growth and inflation varies. for example, for experienced teachers, the gap will be bigger. their pay has risen more slowly than pay for new teachers. and this pressure on teachers pay across the board brings risks for the profession. 0ne not for profit research body says as the gap widens between wages and the cost of living, teaching becomes relatively less competitive compared to other occupations. it adds the teacher recruitment challenges reaching a crisis point. for its part, on teachers pay, the government says this. we think that the pay settlement

from last year and this year does go some way to helping restore the pay of teachers, so we want a well rewarded and motivated teaching profession. and so while there is disagreement over how much teachers should get paid in the future, it's not in dispute that teachers wages have reduced in real terms in the last decade and have fallen behind the wage growth of some other professions. mike is here with the sport and the match that was billed as a potential title decider.— title decider. yes, between the top two, manchester _ title decider. yes, between the top two, manchester city _ title decider. yes, between the top two, manchester city and _ title decider. yes, between the top two, manchester city and arsenal. | title decider. yes, between the top l two, manchester city and arsenal. so one sided _ two, manchester city and arsenal. so one sided and one of the headlines says it _ one sided and one of the headlines says it ait~ — one sided and one of the headlines says it all. they think it's haal over— says it all. they think it's haal over and — says it all. they think it's haal over and it _ says it all. they think it's haal over and it would seem manchester city, it _ over and it would seem manchester city, it is— over and it would seem manchester city, it is in— over and it would seem manchester city, it is in their control. i are

our build—up was better than at the emirates we could not do it, and considering the openings we had, fantastic performance. after a recent dip in form, a win had felt essential for long time league frontrunners arsenal but within a few minutes they were behind. erling haaland with the exquisite touch and lay. kevin de bruyne providing the pace, power and position. city had thfe bit between their teeth, scoring sensation haaland repeatedly denied by goalkeeper aaron ramsdale. but the visitors could only withstand so much. whenjohn stones headed home, it was initially ruled out. but var then confirmed ben white had played him onside and the goal stood. city in command. haaland setup man of the match de bruyne for his second and city's third after the restart. arsenal then pulling one back through rob holding late on. but what had been billed as a title decider was a one—sided affair. haaland scoring his 49th goal of the season in all competitions to seal victory.

the season still has several weeks to run, of course, but such is city's relentless form it would be a major surprise if they don't now go on to secure a fifth premier league title in six seasons. and with pep guardiola's side through to the fa cup final and the last four of the champions league, they remain they remain on course for what would be a remarkable treble. dan roan, bbc news, etihad stadium. at the other end of the table, nottingham forest took a huge step towards survival, with victory over brighton — theirfirst win in 12 games. brighton may have been jaded after their fa cup semi final defeat on penalties, but forest were clinical, winning 3—1. it takes them level with leeds, on 30 points, so just out of the relegation zone, and drags their east midlands rivals leicester, back into the bottom three. frank lampard's return to chelsea just goes from bad to worse.

they lost their fifth game in a row, a 2—0 defeat at home to brentford — bryan mbeumo with a powerful second. there were boos at the final whistle and lampard has wonjust one, of his last 19 games as a manager. former spurs manager mauricio pochettino is understood to be close to signing a deal to take over as manager. liverpool are edging closer to a place in europe next season. they're up to sixth in the table after coming from behind to win 2—1 at west ham — who themselves, are still not completely out of relegation danger. joel matip with the goal that settled this one. after two seasons in the championship, sheffield united will be back in the premier league next season. they got the win they needed at home to west brom, the anel ahmedhodzic rounding off a 2—0 victory, that secured them the second automatic promotion spot with three games to spare. huge relief after they failed to make it out via the play—offs last season. and great celebrations on the pitch. which continued afterwards in the dressing room. looks like a nice spread of party food and of course the obligatory, champagne being sprayed about in there too. sheffield united dancing in their pants, as you can see,

but keen an eye on the roof here. looks like they might have a bit of patch—up work to do, before they arrive back in the premier league next season. one of the panels didn't get punched out. ., ~ ., one of the panels didn't get punched out. ., ,, ., ., , ,, out. you know what is upsetting me, and ou out. you know what is upsetting me, and you know — out. you know what is upsetting me, and you know how— out. you know what is upsetting me, and you know how much _ out. you know what is upsetting me, and you know how much i _ out. you know what is upsetting me, and you know how much i love - out. you know what is upsetting me, and you know how much i love above a. and you know how much i love above a, all of that food will be ruined. champagne all over it and it will take —— taste disgusting. ronnie 0'sullivan said he just wasn't in the game after he was knocked out by belgium's luca brecel in the quarter—finals of the world snooker championship at the crucible. and it really was a knock—out. 0'sullivan said if it had been a boxing match they'd have stopped it very early on. he was 10—6 ahead going into the final session but he failed to win a single frame, as brecel reeled off seven on the trot. the belgian is the first player from mainland europe to reach the semi—finals. 0'sullivan remains tied on the record of seven world titles with stephen hendry.

all is not well with emma raducanu. she pulled out of the madrid 0pen just hours before she was due to play her first round match and she'll almost certainly drop out of the world's top 100 as a result. she's been struggling with a persistant wrist injury and her withdrawal came a day after she gave short shrift to two british reporters in a press conference, using just 58 words to answer 16 questions. the pressure on raducanu has been huge since she won the us open in 2021 in such extraodinary fashion. the big concern does seem to be that wrist problem that has been troubling her since the end of last seasonit troubling her since the end of last season it does seem may be a long—term solution is needed, so maybe some time out or surgery to fix it, so it puts some doubt over her participation in the french open and wimbledon which would be a shame for all of the fans. find and wimbledon which would be a shame for all of the fans.— for all of the fans. and it sounds like she is _ for all of the fans. and it sounds like she is a _ for all of the fans. and it sounds like she is a bit _ for all of the fans. and it sounds like she is a bit fed _ for all of the fans. and it sounds like she is a bit fed up _ for all of the fans. and it sounds like she is a bit fed up if she's i like she is a bit fed up if she's giving one line answers. thinking ma it will giving one line answers. thinking may it will take _

they've got their own party going on the same week. will be a busy one for them. who do you think is the bigger fan, the king or the queen consort? they are both fans. you can tell. they are both fans. they hit that bottom with gusto. i got the vibe they do watch it. this is the ninth time the uk has hosted eurovision, has hosted eurovision, and, oh, how the set designs have advanced over the years. the stage is a blaze i of blue, red and gold. the first time, in 1960, it was all a bit chelsea flower show. with the world's biggest snooker cue being used for the scoreboard. when abba won in brighton nearly 50 years ago, the set looked like a cross between the yellow brick road and a remarkable kaleidoscope of 19705 colours. while in 1998 in birmingham, there appeared to be a jurassic park element with what resembled three giant dinosaurs standing over the orchestra.

and as for the set revealed by the royals, i was the first reporter to be allowed on stage and given a tour by the man who designed it. this is where the acts will be running. this will be the big cat walk and you can see the floor is all made out of video. this feels big. it's massive, yes. 0ur set design resembles a hug, as if to say, the people of liverpool and the uk are welcoming the people of ukraine and europe and the world with big open arms. how many of the acts are you expecting to use the oval stage in the end? out of the 37 acts, probably about half. the energy of the audience around you here is so exciting for the artists performing. let's go backstage. there is basically a crew that comes and looks at the next act, brings it on stage while the other delegation from the other artist is exiting. it's like a grand prix pit stop. pretty much. the uk act to perform on the stage is mae muller, who also got to meet the royals.

we will be watching. with great interest. thank you. egging you on. hope it all goes well. no nil points this year. have we ruined your trousers? douze points from the king. the world's biggest song contest is coming to the uk. are you ready? and last night the first eurovision trailer was aired on bbc one. don't worry, i've got it all under control. a memorable bbc news moment snuck in there. and it's in liverpool! is it? i didn't know, sorry. have you been living under a rock? less than two weeks until the first semifinal. colin paterson, bbc news, liverpool. the countdown is on, less than two weeks before the first semifinal. who doesn't love a countdown, when they count down and somebody hits a button and it works perfectly. if we

hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. teachers across london are on strike today in an ongoing dispute over pay. while some schools will close, others will open to those students preparing to take exams. east barnet school will have classes for years 11 and 13, and some students have been speaking to us about the impact of industrial action on top of the pandemic. strike days have happened on tuesdays and thursdays when i have a lot of double lessons. so the impact for me in finishing content has been twice as much to catch up on at home and twice as much to cover when we come back into school. my mum's a teacher as well and i can see two aspects of the strike like from the student perspective but also living with another teacher. and i am definitely in full support of them. there could be more than a quarter of a million cars on surrey�*s roads that aren't ulez compliant. the figure has been revealed in a freedom of information request. the ultra low emission zone

is due to be expanded to the whole of london in august, and will mean cars which don't meet emissions standards will be charged to travel into the capital. transport for london figures show that 9 out of ten cars currently using the proposed zone in outer london are compliant. surrey county council are challenging the scheme. seven men and three women have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was found stabbed in a west london street. police were called to brentwick gardens, in brentford, early yesterday morning, following reports of intruders at a house nearby. with just nine days to go before the coronation, regent street and st james's in central london have unveiled plans of how the area will be decorated. both areas will see the return of union jack flags. the area will be decorated with 150 flags from today. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. just severe delays on thejubilee line to warn you about.

now onto the weather with kat. good morning to you. a mostly cloudy picture out there today. we are expecting showery rain to move in later this afternoon but we start this morning on a mostly dry note. any bright spells will be replaced by plenty of cloud and here is the showery rain expected to move on much later this afternoon, and that rain will be very on and off through the day and we are looking at highs of around 14 celsius and the winds will pick up slightly so there will be a noticeable breeze around. through the evening the rain will continue you might get the odd heavy burst and could hear the odd rumble of thunder. but eventually the ring or clear out of the east and there will be plenty of cloud lingering through the night but it will turn largely dry. temperatures will fall away to around 11 celsius, so a very mild starting to friday morning. friday will start on a cloudy note through the course of the day, the cloud is expected to break quite nicely to allow for those bright and sunny spells. a lovely end to friday but still quite breezy though, but slightly warmer, up to around 18 celsius. a sunny start to saturday.

a little more cloud through the afternoon and we will still hold on to some sunny spells and on saturday we could hit 20 celsius. don't forget you can keep up to date by downloading the bbc news app. we're back in half an hour. see you then.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today... time is running out to rescue british nationals from sudan before the fragile ceasefire between warring army factions ends tonight. the biggest changes to gambling in decades are set to be announced by the government later — but campaigners fear they won't go far enough. thousands of teachers in england are back out on strike today in their ongoing dispute over pay. it's a manchester city masterclass, as they take control of the title race. they tear leaders arsenal apart in a 4—1win, and city will now be confident of overtaking the gunners and retaining their premier league title. good morning. we have got some early brightness towards the east but there will be a lot of cloud sweeping across the uk, bringing rain for many. things will turn warmer over the next few days. more details coming up.

good morning. it's thursday, the 27th of april. our main story. british evacuation teams are working to rescue more people from sudan before the country's fragile ceasefire ends tonight. more than 500 people have already left on uk flights, with another due to land this morning. but the foreign secretary said he can't guarantee how many further planes will depart once the 72—hour truce expires. simonjones reports. back on british soil, escaping the conflict, hundreds of people have now left sudan as part of the british evacuation mission. but the clock is ticking for many more uk nationals still in the country wanting to get out. at stansted airport, the relief of families reunited was clear. stories to recount of the terrifying journey to get to evacuation flights near the capital, khartoum. it's difficult to say how...

..stomach churning it was. you know, you lose appetite. you're just constantly in stress. you don't know what's going to happen. am i going to make it? am i going to...? it was glad by the time we got to the airport and we saw the british forces, the british planes. it was very, very tension relieving. and there were thoughts for those left behind. we just thank god for, you know, for bringing us here. and we just pray that everyone back home is safe and, you know, everything becomes better. some fear their loved ones might never return. yeah, it's a very- terrible experience. but, eh... you must be so happy to have them back? of course. this is what they're escaping — khartoum scarred by heavy fighting. the fragile ceasefire is due to end tonight. the british government says

it can't guarantee how many further evacuation flights will be able to depart once that happens. the international community is calling for an end to the violence. the bloodshed we have seen over the past ten days in sudan is heartbreaking, in a country whose people have already suffered so much in recent years. who welcomes the ceasefire agreed between the parties. we urge all parties to fully respect it. questions still remain about the speed of the british response. and there are now fears the airfield near khartoum being used by the raf is starting to break up because of the number of planes that have been using it, adding yet more uncertainty to an already volatile situation. simon jones, bbc news. we can speak to our reporter nick garnett, who's at larnaca airport in cyprus, where sudan evacuees have been leaving for the uk.

morning to you. we have heard some harrowing stories. we know it is a very fragile ceasefire due to end. what are we expecting in terms of more flights? is that it still possible?— more flights? is that it still ossible? ~ ., ., ., possible? well, at the moment of the fliuhts possible? well, at the moment of the fli . hts are possible? well, at the moment of the flights are still continuing. _ possible? well, at the moment of the flights are still continuing. a - flights are still continuing. a flights are still continuing. a flight came in overnight. the people on board that flight, about 50 of them, stayed in local hotels. they arrived back about half an hour ago. back at the airport to get a flight out around lunchtime uk time back to britain. they said again they were absolutely delighted to be out of sudan. it is also tinged with sadness because this is the home for many of them. they don't know when they will get back. but they were full of praise for the british government and for the military that are over there because of the way they are being looked after. they

say they have been watered and fed and given places out of the sun. they have had to wait for an eight hour delay at the airport before they could get on the military flight and get back, which is in effect halfway back come to britain, landing here at the airport and getting on a charter plane back to the uk while the military plane heads back over as quickly as it can to khartoum, to the airfield 20 miles north of the capital, where it is picking up more people and bringing them back. it is a slick operation that is going on. the question is whether it started on time. germany was starting its operation quite a long time earlier than this. that has been the criticism of the british authorities, that they were too late in starting it, which has led to this last—minute flurry of flights. thank you very much. 0ur diplomatic correspondent paul adams is in nairobi and has been monitoring the situation in sudan. that a ceasefire is expected to end late tonight. at that point the window closes? it

late tonight. at that point the window closes?— late tonight. at that point the window closes? . , , window closes? it could close, yes. the foreign — window closes? it could close, yes. the foreign secretary, _ window closes? it could close, yes. the foreign secretary, james i the foreign secretary, james cleverly, has said there is no guarantee that any further evacuations will be possible once the ceasefire ends. it is a pretty shaky ceasefire, to be honest. the un has reported several violations by all the warring parties, so it is not the most secure ceasefire as it is, and it's clearly difficult for people to get from their homes in khartoum to that airstrip that he are just hearing about, having to run a gauntlet of checkpoints, fuel is in short supply, transport is in short supply. it is a very difficult thing. it is possible those evacuations will continue. but we will need to know more about talks to extend the ceasefire before that becomes realistic. those talks, there are concerted efforts to try and get the warring parties to agree to another three day extension of the ceasefire. there is a

possibility of some talks in south sudan. the sudanese army says it is willing to go and attend those talks. rapid support forces, the other warring party, have not indicated a willingness so far. there is a lot of diplomatic activity behind the scenes to try to get a free two main generals in question to sit down to settle their differences and i'd be very, very least, to extend the ceasefire so the evacuations can continue. the other thing that is going on, of course, is that tens of thousands of sudanese citizens are heading for the borders in every direction. unless the ceasefire can be sustained and improved, that flood of people is likely to get much, much bigger. the of people is likely to get much, much bigger-— of people is likely to get much, much bi rer. ., , ., ., much bigger. the inevitable fallout at the boarders. _ much bigger. the inevitable fallout at the boarders. thank _ much bigger. the inevitable fallout at the boarders. thank you. - the biggest shake—up of gambling laws in nearly 20 years is due to be announced by the government later this morning. the long—awaited review, launched three years ago, is an attempt to catch up with smartphone technology which has seen huge changes in how people

gamble or place bets. our culture and media editor katie razzall reports. watford fc, north of london, just one football club gearing up for a big match, with a reminder of gambling at almost every turn. watford plays in the sky bet championship. like many other clubs, it's also sponsored by a betting firm, though not everyone here is happy about it. tom wicks edits the golden pages watford fanzine. i think watford is known as the original family club. we shouldn't have gambling sponsors associated with us. these days, smartphones can act like a casino in your pocket. but they weren't invented the last time there were big changes to gambling laws. later this morning, the government will unveil its plans. we're expecting the industry will now be forced to pay a percentage of what they make — a compulsory levy — to fund education, treatment and research. it's thought reformers have won new affordability checks. so if someone loses £1,000 in a day, for example, action will be taken.

but the government is not believed to be planning to tighten up controls on sports advertising and marketing. ijust have huge respect for people who have been campaigning for years for this change. that will disappoint campaigners, people like charles and liz ritchie, who spent the last six years demanding reform. we're not prohibitionist. we're not saying people can't gamble. but it's the role that advertising has of normalising this as a product, that it's a risk free activity. and it's the starting point of dragging young people, children in particular. you know, they go to the football ground where their heroes are. football is so important in this country and they see this product, it'sjust another fun thing to be involved in. and that is the issue with gambling advertising. their son, jack ritchie, took his own life in 2017, after developing an addiction to gambling that began in his teens. they set up the charity gambling with lives soon after.

the industry has achieved a level of victory already in that it's successfully delayed this white paper for the last two to three years. that's a thousand people dead. that's hundreds of thousands of people whose lives have been irrevocably harmed. where's the government to stop this? they've been lobbied. mps who've lobbied for tighter laws, however, welcomed the government's plans, calling them a turning point in online betting regulation. the chief executive of the betting and gaming council, which represents the industry, says...

month. but we may well see that as we head through tomorrow. today we have got some early brightness around towards the east. it is also around towards the east. it is also a cold start. as we head through the day the cloud will bring outbreaks of rain. a couple of weather fronts to contend with this morning. there is one producing some rain, even mountain snow in parts of scotland. this area of low pressure moving on from the south—west. this is what is going to bring some heavy and persistent rain to parts of devon and cornwall, south wales as well. that is going to bring some hail and thunderstorms. further north, the rain will be fairly light and patchy. lots of eastern england will remain dry into the middle of the afternoon. i3, remain dry into the middle of the afternoon. 13, 1a degrees at best. moderate or low levels of pollen. through this evening and tonight we have still got a lot of cloud and potentially heavy, thundery rain easing its way eastwards. it will dry up towards the south. milder

than last night, with temperatures five to ii than last night, with temperatures five to 11 degrees. thank you. this time next week, a0 million people will be able to head to a polling station and vote for their local councillor. it is the biggest round of local elections in england and northern ireland since 2019. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth went to burnley to find out what issues really matter to people voting. could the political landscape be about to change? burnley is one of the places going to the polls, picking councillors to run local services in elections that will have national significance. at the mooch cafe in padiham, i met kevin and rowanna, who run a local video production company. both born and raised in the area, they want politicians who support and celebrate it. community and civic pride is a big thing for me. there's so much more here than you could even imagine going on. people get involved in different projects. the community come together.

where does the balance sit for you between what's happening locally and the national politics? i can be very cynical of national politics, to the point where i won't even vote. however, on a local basis, it's straightforward. good people, you vote for them and you get good things. for me, it's more important to vote in the local elections. i know it will directly impact me, it will impact what's happening, and i don't feel nationally i'm going to have as much impact with my vote. once a thriving mill town, burnley, like many post—industrial places, has seen its share of economic decline. at the royal dyche pub, ahead of the burnley—blackburn derby, there's no mistaking the local pride in the football team. but carl and laura say there are issues here that need to be addressed. it would be crime around this particular area. there's a lot of poverty. try and tidy this place up of it. the roads have been terrible — the potholes, little things like that. do you have faith that politicians

understand the issues that you're talking about? well, if i'm honest, i never vote, because i never know who to vote for, because nothing ever changes. i personally think possibly the local councillors, they know the score. but it's seeing action on the ground, isn't it? the pub�*s ownerjustine agrees. ijust feel like it's - a very rundown town. the government have - brought out this scheme, the levelling up scheme, as well. i feel like that proves - now that the government know that there's a big gap _ between the north and the south. it shouldn't need to be called the levelling up scheme. - i mean, we should already be on par with the south. - you can put in your new paving, your new road, but i feel- like the town needs - so much more in itself. for decades, this was a labour stronghold. recently, the political pitch has been far more mixed. labour's trying to rebuild its support, up against the conservatives, lib dems and greens, who are all standing, as well as some independents. these elections will decide who runs local services for communities like the one here in burnley. but they'll also be seen as a measure of how the political parties are doing.

in particular, how much conservative support can rishi sunak hold onto? and is keir starmer setting labour on the path to power? at a soft play tots group in the town centre, prudence and gemma aren't convinced that anyone will address the things they care about. as a new mum, my first time, i think things for us to do, like groups like this, is really good. this is my third child, so i've got one at 12 and one at 16, and there's nothing for them to do any more. there's not like youth centres or — they're hanging around on the street. when we were growing up in burnley, we had lots of resources like summer clubs, activity clubs. it's just seems to have dwindled away. so what do you think about politicians and what they say about these things? i find that they're really good salesmen. ijust think it's all false promises. trying to convince voters otherwise as the challenge for the parties. and in these elections, there's still plenty to play for. you can find out if there are local elections in your area on the bbc website.

0ur political correspondent alex forsyth joins us now. keeping a close eye on these elections, which are always exciting, always little stories that we are not expecting. can you just explain why some people get to vote and some people don't?— and some people don't? yeah, it is the 'o of and some people don't? yeah, it is the joy of the _ and some people don't? yeah, it is the joy of the b _ and some people don't? yeah, it is the joy of the b music— and some people don't? yeah, it is the joy of the b music system - and some people don't? yeah, it is the joy of the b music system and l the joy of the b music system and local government in the uk. these set of elections taking place in england. —— of the local election system. we are talking about the english council elections. this year not every single council is up. there is a cycle of elections that take place, where they like different seeds every four years. this year we are talking about 8000 seats, 230 councils across england, not in london. a lot of them are smaller district councils, some in metropolitan areas, no elections in wales, no elections in scotland. you can look on the bbc website and find out if you have got elections in your area, find out who is standing.

in lay—bys and service stations. steve knibbs reports. sally has been an hgv driver forjust over a year. she only drives in the day, but says finding somewhere decent and safe to park is difficult. some have got good parking, others haven't. so in the day it's not so bad. but i know that i wouldn't feel safe at night. and you know, i have done one night out alongside my husband and we had to park on the side of the road then. but i was with him so it didn't feel as bad, but i wouldn't want to do it on my own. no way. morton collymore runs his family haulage firm in gloucestershire and is chair of the road haulage association. it's handed a petition to downing street this week calling for safer and more secure truck stops across the country. it comes at a time when thefts from lorries cost the industry over £400 million a year, a figure that's growing. most of us wouldn't work in offices if we didn't have proper toilets,

proper welfare facilities, a kitchen to go and make and have our lunch and those things. these truck drivers don't have that they have very well modern appointed trucks, you know, decent beds, fridges, microwaves and suchlike. but they still need somewhere to stop, to go to the toilet, to have a shower. ultimately, they're in the truck 24 hours a day when they're doing the long distance loads and they need proper facilities to look after themselves and keep fit and healthy. another gloucestershire family, haulier over at teddington is will gilder, and he's put his money where his mouth is, spending £1 million to build a new truck stop with over 100 spaces. here there are showers, a restaurant, washing machines, and most importantly, a secure site. labour is playing russian roulette now because unfortunately, crime in the last certainly in the last ten years has become very rife. and a lorry can quite easily be carrying £1,500 worth of diesel. and it's an open target for criminals. the road haulage association says

better facilities for drivers are needed urgently and believes 11,000 safe and secure spaces are needed right now across the country. steve knibbs, bbc news, tewkesbury. the department for transport says, "the government and industry arejointly investing more than £100 million to boost roadside facilities, enhance security and improve welfare for hgv drivers." coming up to half past seven. it's the dream of many young people to play football professionally, and some make it as far as the youth academies, meaning the dream is actually in sight. but most don't make it. so what happens then? liverpool player trent alexander—arnold is hoping to help young players who may feel depressed after being dropped. he will bejoining us he will be joining us later. that is

there could be more than a quarter of a million cars on surrey�*s roads that aren't ulez compliant. the figure has been revealed in a freedom of information request. the ultra low emission zone is due to be expanded to the whole of london in august and will mean cars which don't meet emissions standards will be charged to travel into the capital. transport for london figures show that nine out of 10 cars currently using the proposed zone in outer london are compliant. surrey county council are challenging the scheme. organisers of the london marathon have expresed their condolences to the family of a man who died as he travelled home after running the race on sunday. steve shanks from nottingham was described as a "very experienced runner" who had completed the marathon in under three hours. with just nine days to go before the coronation — regent street and st james's in central london have started to get into the party spirit. both areas will see the return

the cloud is expected to break quite nicely to allow for those bright and sunny spells. a lovely end to friday but still quite breezy though, but slightly warmer, up to around 18 celsius. a sunny start to saturday. a little more cloud through the afternoon and we will still hold on to some sunny spells and on saturday we could hit 20 celsius. that's it. we're back in half an hour. see you then. hello, this is breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. mikejoins us for the mike joins us for the sport, reflecting on that match from last night. i walked reflecting on that match from last night. iwalked into reflecting on that match from last night. i walked into the living room eight minutes in and i thought we know which way this will go. so one sided and the _ know which way this will go. so one sided and the most _ know which way this will go. so one sided and the most anticipated - know which way this will go. so one l sided and the most anticipated match of the season and billed as a title decider. thank manchester city

completely dominant and have their destiny in their own hands, just two points behind arsenal and they will overtake them soon in the next few days. it looks as though manchester city have timed their surge to perfection. they are strong favourites now to take the premier league title, after beating arsenal 4—1. city are still two points behind arsenal at the top, but they have two games in hand and all the momentum. kevin de bruyne outstanding, assisted by erling haaland, who set him up twice — the pair are forming a devastating partnership, and it tore arsenal apart. and haaland still had the legs to take his tally to an incredible 49 goals this season. city can go top with victory at fulham on sunday. of course, we had an incredible victory. we have two games in hand that you have to win. i would love to have the six points in front of us but the reality is they are, and we cannot lose our focus. irate we cannot lose our focus. we didn't

downpours will be across devon and cornwall and into south wales, and some hail mixed in as well and it will stay dry with brightness until the middle part of the afternoon. patchy outbreaks of rain later in the afternoon and temperatures between 12 and 1a degrees but a little bit colder than that across northern and north—eastern scotland but if you suffer from hay fever you will be pleased to know moderate or low levels of pardon out there through today. as we move through the evening and overnight we keep the evening and overnight we keep the bank of cloud bringing outbreaks of rain through the midlands and parts of eastern england and some of the rain heavy and potentially sundry in the evening hours but it will gradually ease away towards the north—east so becoming dry for many southern parts of the uk overnight tonight and milder than last night, so between five and 11 degrees and frost free first thing tomorrow but we start the day tomorrow with a lot of cloud for most areas and some of the rain is lingering for north—east england, northern and eastern scotland and the northern isles but

brightening up tomorrow from the south—west so a return to sunshine for england, wales and northern ireland and the odd isolated shower but it will feel that bit warmer so temperatures in the south—west between 15 and 18 degrees. a bit cooler where you hold onto the cloud with a few patchy outbreaks of rain further north. heading into the weekend, we will see higher pressure building in, not too many isobars on the map and light winds and the remnants of a front sitting in the north, so not wall—to—wall sunshine on saturday. the southern half of the uk will see the lion's share of any brightness whereas further north it will be claudia with some outbreaks of showery rain but look at the temperatures on saturday potentially up to 20 degrees in the south—east and we haven't seen 20 degrees in england so far this year. the last time we hadn't seen 20 degrees this late in the year was backin degrees this late in the year was back in 1986 so it gives you an idea of how cool it has been through april. into sunday scattered showers, especially in the north and west and they could be thundery with temperatures may be down a notch compared to saturday but it looks as

though the showers will move further east into bank holiday monday. thank you, sarah. thousands of native oysters are being re—introduced to the solent more than 30 years after stocks declined. an oyster reef has been laid in the river hamble in hampshire by a team led by scientists at the university of portsmouth. anjana gadgil reports. 15,000 oysters 15, 000 oysters re—housed 15,000 oysters re—housed on the river hamble. irate 15,000 oysters re-housed on the river hamble.— 15,000 oysters re-housed on the river hamble. ~ . , ., ., river hamble. we wanted restore not 'ust the river hamble. we wanted restore not just the fisheries _ river hamble. we wanted restore not just the fisheries but _ just the fisheries but the ecosystems in the solent. it's like the cold, british version of a coral reef and all that represents. oysters are a delicacy but there is nothing _ oysters are a delicacy but there is nothing delicate about the way you eat them — nothing delicate about the way you eat them. the nothing delicate about the way you eat them. ,, ., , nothing delicate about the way you eat them. , ., , ., eat them. the solent used to be one of europe's — eat them. the solent used to be one of europe's major— eat them. the solent used to be one of europe's major oyster _ eat them. the solent used to be one of europe's major oyster fisheries, . of europe's major oyster fisheries, supplying hungry customers across the country. we supplying hungry customers across the country-— the country. we used to love oysters- _ the country. we used to love oysters- in — the country. we used to love oysters. in 1864 _ the country. we used to love oysters. in 1864 in _ the country. we used to love oysters. in 1864 in london i the country. we used to love - oysters. in 1864 in london alone we ate 700 million oysters in one year.

to be expanded to the whole of london in august, and will mean cars which don't meet emissions standards will be charged to travel into the capital. transport for london figures show that nine out of ten cars currently using the proposed zone in outer london are compliant. surrey county council are challenging the scheme. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. just severe delays on thejubilee line to warn you about. now onto the weather. this morning will see thick cloud gradually build in from the south—west. in the afternoon, spells of showery rain will move in, these heavy and thundery in places. that's it. don't forget you can keep up to date by downloading the bbc news app. we're back in half an hour. see you then.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. our headlines today... time is running out to rescue british nationals from sudan before the fragile ceasefire between warring army factions ends tonight. the biggest changes to gambling in decades are set to be announced by the government later — but campaigners fear they won't go far enough. thousands of teachers in england are back out on strike today in their ongoing dispute over pay. manchester city seize control of the premier league title race. they demolish the leaders, arsenal 4—1, and the title, and indeed the treble, remains very much on, for the blue half of manchester. liverpool's trent alexander—arnold tells us why he's launching a scheme to help young players who are released by club academies. a lot of people still find it difficult to kind of open up and feel vulnerable, and are scared of that feeling of failure again.

and there is a bit of early brightness around for some eastern parts of the uk but most of us see a lot of cloud today, outbreaks of rain for many areas as well. details in ten minutes. good morning. it's thursday the 27th of april. our main story. british evacuation teams are working to rescue more people from sudan before the country's fragile ceasefire ends tonight. more than 500 people have already left on uk flights, with another due to land this morning. but the foreign secretary said he can't guarantee how many further planes will depart once the 72—hour truce expires. simonjones reports. back on british soil, escaping the conflict, hundreds of people have now left sudan as part of the british evacuation mission. but the clock is ticking for many more uk nationals

still in the country wanting to get out. at stansted airport, the relief of families reunited was clear. stories to recount of the terrifying journey to get to evacuation flights near the capital, khartoum. it's difficult to say how... ..stomach churning it was. you know, you lose appetite. you're just constantly in stress. you don't know what's going to happen. am i going to make it? am i going to...? it was glad by the time we got to the airport and we saw the british forces, the british planes. it was very, very tension relieving. and there were thoughts for those left behind. we just thank god for, you know, for bringing us here. and we just pray that everyone back home is safe and, you know, everything becomes better. some fear their loved ones might never return. yeah, it's a very- terrible experience. but, eh...

you must be so happy to have them back? of course. this is what they're escaping — khartoum scarred by heavy fighting. the fragile ceasefire is due to end tonight. the british government says it can't guarantee how many further evacuation flights will be able to depart once that happens. the international community is calling for an end to the violence. the bloodshed we have seen over the past ten days in sudan is heartbreaking, in a country whose people have already suffered so much in recent years. who welcomes the ceasefire agreed between the parties. we urge all parties to fully respect it. questions still remain about the speed of the british response. and there are now fears the airfield near khartoum being used by the raf is starting to break up because of the number of planes

that have been using it, adding yet more uncertainty to an already volatile situation. simon jones, bbc news. we can speak to our reporter nick garnett, who's at larnaca airport in cyprus, where sudan evacuees have been leaving for the uk. we spoke with the foreign secretary just now. he said he expects flights to continue through the day, but tonight of that window could begin tonight of that window could begin to close? . , ., , , ., to close? yeah, they are desperate to close? yeah, they are desperate to t to close? yeah, they are desperate tot and to close? yeah, they are desperate to try and get _ to close? yeah, they are desperate to try and get as — to close? yeah, they are desperate to try and get as many _ to close? yeah, they are desperate to try and get as many out - to close? yeah, they are desperate to try and get as many out as - to try and get as many out as possible. i understand there will be five flights in the next 24 hours arriving here in cyprus. that means they will have taken off before midnight. to try and get as many out. that could mean another 700 people arriving here, on top of those probably 600, 700, that have already come out. it still will

leave between 250 and 500 people the government identified as wanted to come out of khartoum, still in the country. what will happen is that the flights want to stop immediately midnight happens because it is unlikely at that moment there will be any violence going on. and if that happens, then the flights will continue. and that is exactly what they want to do. they want to keep it going as long as possible. the real hope is that somehow another ceasefire is agreed. that will be the help. thank you. we're joined by chief political correspondent nick eardley. morning. as we were mentioning a moment ago, the foreign secretary has been doing interviews this morning, very much trying to keep people updated on what is happening on the ground?— people updated on what is happening on the ground? morning to you. yeah, i have been — on the ground? morning to you. yeah, i have been chatting _ on the ground? morning to you. yeah, i have been chatting to _ on the ground? morning to you. yeah, i have been chatting to people - on the ground? morning to you. yeah, i have been chatting to people in - i have been chatting to people in government this morning, and there is a lot of uncertainty about what happens when that ceasefire ends tonight, whether it might be

extended, or whether that essentially leads to the window to get people out closing. it was quite clear from the foreign secretary that the government is not certain how many brits remain in sudan. he was talking about a couple of thousand having registered with the government. but theyjust don't know how many have already left the country, or what —— might want to stay for various reasons. but what was pretty clear whenjames cleverly was pretty clear whenjames cleverly was chatting to nina about 15 minutes ago, was that the government is telling brits and those eligible to get on british flights, if you want to get out of sudan, do it now. that is quite simply because they don't know how the situation might deteriorate from tonight. so, the messages if you can get to the airfield just outside the capital khartoum, you need to it now. it's interesting, because we have been chatting over the past couple of days about some of the concerns some people have that are being asked to

make their own way there. james cleverly�*s argument was that itjust wasn't possible to get people, to get the military to a brits from the capital or various other places to that airfield, but there is quite a clear message in that sense coming from the government in london this morning, which is if you are still in sudan, if you want to make use of one of these flights, the time to do it is now. . .. one of these flights, the time to do it is now. ., ,, , ., , one of these flights, the time to do it is now. ., ,, i. , . the biggest shake—up of gambling laws in nearly 20 years is due to be announced by the government later this morning. the long—awaited review, launched three years ago, is an attempt to catch up with smartphone technology, which has seen huge changes in how people gamble or place bets. campaigners say they will be disappointed if it doesn't include bans on gambling sponsorship and advertising. plans aimed at stopping people crossing the channel in small boats have been approved by mps, after the government won a house of commons vote by 289 votes to 230.

the law means anyone who arrives on small boats will not be able to claim asylum and will be deported. this has prompted outrage from opposition parties and charities, which argue the bill is unworkable and could breach international law. pupils are facing more disruption this morning as teachers in england go on strike for the fourth time this year. more than half of schools in england were closed on previous strike days, as members of the national education union walked out in a row over pay. our reporter graham satchell is in east london. some schools divided, some teachers going in this morning, some depending on their union striking. what is happening where you are? morning. we are at once that high school in east london. you can see the picket line. it has been here for about an hour. there will be some teachers going it is today.

year 11, some teachers going it is today. yearii, gcse some teachers going it is today. year 11, gcse students, all facing big exams. the rest are out. that is a pattern you may see across england today. about half the schools will be closed completely. there will be disruption in almost every school. a headache for parents and carers trying to organise last—minute childcare. this is a dispute about pgy- childcare. this is a dispute about pay. the government offered to teachers in england 4.3% in february. they rejected that. they want an above inflation pay rise. inflation is now 10%. you can see the gap. they say they have had a real terms pay cut of more than 20% since 2010, so we are at an impasse. in wales and northern ireland there are separate disputes. in scotland, teaching unions have accepted a 7% pay rise. but here in england, there is no end in sight. there is a strike today, a strike on tuesday, and more strike dates set for the summertime. and more strike dates set for the summertime-— and more strike dates set for the summertime. midwives in england have voted to accept an nhs pay offer according

to the royal college of midwives. further healthcare strikes are still set to take this weekend though, as members of the royal college of nursing have already turned down the offer, which includes a 5% pay rise. nurses are set to walk out for a 48—hour strike on april 30th. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. how are you? very good, thank you. i have managed to find you some blue sky out there. good morning. some of us seeing some glimpses of sunshine. particularly towards the east. this is a picture in kent. as we head through the day, cloud across much of the uk. sweeping eastwards, and it will bring rain from many throughout the day. it won't be running all day but we have a couple of weather fronts to contend with. one sitting across scotland is producing some rain and fairly light

mountains now. the next front moves in from the south—west. this will bring some heavy, potentially thundery rain, to parts of devon and, coming to south wales practically morning, hail mixed in. further north, the rain fairly patchy in the afternoon. part of eastern england staying bright until the middle of the afternoon. temperatures still in the cool side. 12 to 14 degrees. colder than that across the north—east of scotland. but if you do suffer from hay fever, you will be pleased to now pollen levels are only moderate or low for some today. into this evening and tonight, we keep a lot of cloud and outbreaks of heavy rain through the evening. the midlands, parts of thinning out, could be thunderstorms. the rain eases overnight. it will be milder than last night with temperatures around about five to 11 degrees. certainly frost free for any gardeners out there. there will be more blue skies eventually. we are keeping the faith. fingers crossed! faith. finuers crossed! g; :: faith. finuers crossed! x: :: , faith. finuers crossed! x: i: , , fingers crossed! 30 minutes past

through these experiences, please get in touch, i want to talk to you. i want to learn, i want to know what you're going through. i want to be able to help you and do as much as i can. "trent, i've seen your video on instagram about players released from academies. "i struggle to find a way into the outside world because all i knew was football." "trent, i turn 25 next week, and i still suffer from being released at the age of 15 and 16. "in the end, i gave up. "i went into a deep state of depression. "i put myself and my whole family through hell. "it wasn't my fault. it wasn't football's fault. "it's just a flawed part of the game that no one has thought about before." "i was in the academy system from age seven to 15 and ultimately never made it in football. "so when that failure does roll around, it does leave you feeling empty and like you've failed and have no purpose beyond being a footballer." he sighs

i've seen first hand the struggles and the difficulties that players have when they're released from football clubs. and i think it's gone on too long and now it's time for change. josh and liam were released from football as teenagers. it still has an impact on them both today. i played with trent at liverpool academy for eight years. being an academy kid was exciting, but it also came with a lot of pressure. i was released at 16, had loads of injuries that i went through. it left me feeling a bit lost, a bit unsure what i could do next. i was obviously told - i was going to be released. to be honest, that was probably the first heartbreak— i've ever gone through. i can remember going back to the changing rooms - and just bursting into tears. in that moment it genuinely

felt like it had been- taken away from you, - and there was nothing left. trent is launching a new initiative, the after academy. the aim, to offer players a plan b if football doesn't work out. you must have been a bit like family? yeah, yeah, it is. it's like a group of brothers. inseparable. i think that's why it i made it even harder, because the bonds that we had created, you knew, _ inevitably it was - going to come to an end and it wasn't going to be what it was. i liam and josh, in yourjobs now, when you work and someone chats to you and say, "oh, what school did you go to? "how did you get into this business?" what do you say to them? it's tough to to even bring up sometimes. there's good memories, obviously, and there's also lows as well. even when you do explain the story, i don't think. unless you've really- lived it, you truly relate and understand it. i mean, i think i get so many times all, like, little jokes — _

"oh, you used to play for liverpool and now you're doing this." - obviously in my industry i work in, on sewers, drainage. _ it's quite a manly industry. so you do get a lot - of them side jokes that obviously are light—hearted - and people don't think affect you, but they definitely take their effect. it's just something i've learnt through the emails and having conversations, is that a lot of people still find it difficult to kind of open up and feel vulnerable, and are scared of that feeling of failure again. that's the biggest struggle i still find daily, is the self—belief- or the fear of failing, _ giving my all to something again, committing everything to it, to come out a failure, - it sometimes gets the better of me. the thing is, it's notjust the player. it's a family sacrifice. if someone in your in your family is an academy player, everything centres around that person. at the end of the day,

it's a business. you're playing with human beings. it's not — we're not commodities. we're notjust moving pieces. you know, we're humans who are sacrificing a lot at a young age to even have a small chance at this. the pfa say they will help trent to develop his initiative as the footballer uses his voice for change. for me, the after academy is a dream. and in that dream, it's quite simple, really. i want any kid or any footballer who gets released from a football club to have somewhere to turn to, to have someone or an institution or a set up to turn to where they feel like they can go and find support. we'rejoined now by trent on the sofa.

point on to getting released, the the after academy will be there to support you, give a second chance, and more opportunities to soften the blow of being released. it is also eye—opening to giving an indication as to what else is in the world. we live in a footballing bubble or. we eat, sleep and beautiful. i didn't realise there were so many different opportunities within football. a number of things. and i think it's just important to the kind of show these young people. b5 just important to the kind of show these young people. $5 i just important to the kind of show these young people. as i understand it, the these young people. as i understand it. the clubs — these young people. as i understand it, the clubs quite _ these young people. as i understand it, the clubs quite recently _ these young people. as i understand it, the clubs quite recently are - it, the clubs quite recently are required, they have agreed to have some kind of a system set up, three years. so if someone gets dropped, there is a three year set up by way of help for them. what does that consist of? what sort of help do they get as it stands? i

consist of? what sort of help do they get as it stands?— they get as it stands? i think it vanes they get as it stands? i think it varies from — they get as it stands? i think it varies from club _ they get as it stands? i think it varies from club to _ they get as it stands? i think it varies from club to club, - they get as it stands? i think it varies from club to club, if - they get as it stands? i think it varies from club to club, if i i they get as it stands? i think it| varies from club to club, if i am honest. you think there are so many teams in the football league. some teams in the football league. some teams are doing some things, some aren't. this kind of is going to be aren't. this kind of is going to be a foundation for the teams to use as a foundation for the teams to use as a system and as a base for everyone to be doing the same thing and working in cohesion, rather than everybody doing their wrong thing. it is notjust one club is worse at it than the other, or it is a bigger problem here than there, that is not it. it is a footballing wide problem across the country. the only way we fix it is by coming it together and fixing it. fix it is by coming it together and fixina it. :, fix it is by coming it together and fixina it. ., ,., fix it is by coming it together and fixina it. ., , ., , fixing it. you feel so strongly about it you _ fixing it. you feel so strongly about it you have _ fixing it. you feel so strongly about it you have decided i fixing it. you feel so strongly about it you have decided to | fixing it. you feel so strongly i about it you have decided to invest your own money in it, which is great, but the application of that is that there are big holes in the system because you feel you personally need to invest? yeah, it is 'ust personally need to invest? yeah, it is just something _ personally need to invest? yeah, it isjust something i _ personally need to invest? yeah, it isjust something i feel— personally need to invest? yeah, it isjust something i feel really i is just something i feel really passionate about. so personally i am going to pledge funds for five

but we start this morning on a mostly dry note. any bright spells will be replaced by plenty of cloud and here is the showery rain expected to move in much later this afternoon, and that rain will be very on and off through the day and we are looking at highs of around 1a celsius and the winds will pick up slightly so there will be a noticeable breeze around. through the evening, the rain will continue and we might get the odd heavy burst and could hear the odd rumble of thunder. but eventually the rain will clear out of the east and there will be plenty of cloud lingering through the night but it will turn largely dry. temperatures will fall away to around 11 celsius, so a very mild starting to friday morning. friday will start on a cloudy note but through the course of the day, the cloud is expected to break quite nicely to allow for those bright and sunny spells. a lovely end to friday but still quite breezy though, but slightly warmer, up to around 18 celsius. a sunny start to saturday. a little more cloud through the afternoon and we will still hold on to some sunny spells and on saturday

and plenty of downpours today because we have a couple of weather fronts and this one across the north of scotland producing fairly light rain and mounting snow and further south another area of low pressure and as it moves into devon and cornwall it will produce not only heavy rain but also thunderstorms and hail mixed in, so heavy bursts of rain and parts of eastern england staying dry. but i think nowhere is immune to some drizzly showers at times and some heavier burst further south, so temperatures 13 or 1a at best but only seven or cross north of scotland. the pollen levels today are moderate or across parts of wales and scotland are low, and as we move through the evening and overnight, some of the heavy bursts of rain and thunderstorms push across the midlands, parts of eastern england as well and in the south it will turn dry over night but we keep a lot of cloud and showers for northern parts of the uk but temperatures are milder than last night so low between five and

11 degrees and a frost free start friday morning but a great start and patchy rain lingering for parts of northern and eastern scotland and north—east england as well but further south more sunshine breaking through an improving picture tomorrow particularfor through an improving picture tomorrow particular for northern ireland into wales and southern england where it will be a touch warmer and temperatures about 15 to 18 degrees but further north under the cloud a few degrees cooler than that but as we move into the weekend, higher pressure builds in the uk, so questioning the weather down but the remnants of the system in the north so a cloudy day on saturday for parts of scotland and northern ireland into wales also seeing a few showers but further south and east it will be drier and brighter and that will lift the temperatures and eventually we might see 20 degrees towards the south—east but cooler to around eight in aberdeen on saturday. in two sunday a fair amount of cloud in the north and west and here we are most likely to see heavy potentially thundery showers but drier and

brighter down towards the south—east and temperatures down a notch compared to saturday and for bank holiday monday a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers, and particularly heavy in the east. we are getting there, slowly but surely. mr; we are getting there, slowly but surel. y , ,, we are getting there, slowly but surel. g , , ., , surely. my because the sport for us. a seismic shift _ surely. my because the sport for us. a seismic shift in _ surely. my because the sport for us. a seismic shift in the _ surely. my because the sport for us. a seismic shift in the premier- a seismic shift in the premier league title race. it's all in their hands with a month to go,. it looks as though manchester city have timed their surge to perfection. they are strong favourites now to take the premier league title, after beating arsenal 4—1. city are still two points behind arsenal at the top, but they have two games in hand and all the momentum. kevin de bruyne was outstanding and assisted by ted lasso and they from the devastating partnership —— assisted by haaland. and haaland, still had the legs to take his tally to an incredible 49 goals this season.

city can go top with victory, at fulham on sunday. of course we had an incredible victory and we have the two games in hand and you have to win and i would love to have the six points but the reality is we cannot lose our focus. we didn't do any of the basics right and compete in the right way and in many— and compete in the right way and in many situations we had trouble and they got— many situations we had trouble and they got out of trouble with one pass _ they got out of trouble with one pass and — they got out of trouble with one pass and were through against our own goal— pass and were through against our own goal so we have to look at ourselves _ own goal so we have to look at ourselves in the mirror. one well-known _ ourselves in the mirror. one well-known arsenal - ourselves in the mirror. one well-known arsenal fan - ourselves in the mirror. que: well— known arsenal fan was taking well—known arsenal fan was taking the positives, ksi saying he's glad that arsenal have champions league football and could not resist a dig at their usual rivals. liam gallagher kept it simple. but football can sometimes divide families. shaun wright phillips tweeting to his dad and arsenal legend ian wright, hope you are ok. he was on match of the day and he

confirmed he was ok but not happy about the message. nottingham forest manager steve cooper says they have work to do despite getting out of the relegation zone but made the most of the fa cup heartbreak and were clinical winning 3—1 and it takes them level with leeds on 30 points and at the same time drags east midlands rivals leicester back into the bottom three. frank lampard frank lampa rd says frank lampard says he understands the fans booing chelsea off after losing their fifth game in a the fans booing chelsea off after losing theirfifth game in a row, 2-0 losing theirfifth game in a row, 2—0 defeat at home to retford. lampard has wonjust 2—0 defeat at home to retford. lampard has won just one of his last 19 games as manager and trent alexander—arnold helped his liverpool side edge closer to a place in europe last night. john will match it with the decider and they are up to six in the table after coming back to win against west ham who are not completely out of the relegation danger but they should be ok. and when you have won

seven world titles it hurts less when you're knocked out of the world snooker championship which is why ronnie o'sullivan says he can go back to running and losing a few pounds. and it really was a knock—out at the crucible. o'sullivan said if it had been a boxing match they'd have stopped it very early on. he was 10—6 ahead going into the final session but he failed to win a single frame, as brecel reeled off seven on the trot. he's the first player from mainland europe to reach the semi—finals. on the edge of heaven now. he says his training regime has involved partying and staying up till 7am. that is mine and you're kind of training. that is mine and you're kind of trainina. . g that is mine and you're kind of trainina. . f that is mine and you're kind of trainina. . g ., ,, , that is mine and you're kind of trainina. . .~ , , training. really? so if he wakes up for the semifinal _ training. really? so if he wakes up for the semifinal he _ training. really? so if he wakes up for the semifinal he might - training. really? so if he wakes up for the semifinal he might have - training. really? so if he wakes up for the semifinal he might have to| for the semifinal he might have to wait me up i broke up before you gogo. wait me up i broke up before you goro. ., wait me up i broke up before you go.o_ ., ., wait me up i broke up before you goro. ., ., ., , wait me up i broke up before you goio. ., ., ., , , , wait me up i broke up before you goro. ., ., ., , , , , gogo. you are really pushing this. you better— gogo. you are really pushing this. you better explain. _
