good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. more disruption could be on the way for schools and parents as headteachers in england are to be balloted again on strike action. the ceasefire in sudan is extended for another three days — efforts continue to get british nationals out of the country. new guidance for grassroots sports — anyone suspected of concussion must be taken off and rested for at least 2a hours. good morning. a record rent as as average monthly payment hit a record

high. iwill average monthly payment hit a record high. i will be looking at why and whether there is an end inside to rising housing gusts. newcastle are edging closer to the champions league with a win at goodison park. that leaves everton deep in relegation trouble. good morning. a bit of a grey and drizzly start. the weather will brighten up today and it will be warmer than recent days. all the details for today and the bank holiday weekend throughout the programme. good morning. it's friday, the 28th of april. our main story. head teachers in england will be balloted for strike action, in a move which could see further disruption for schools and parents. the union last held a strike vote injanuary, which supported taking action but did not reach the required 50% turnout. ministers say the pay deal is fair and reasonable. our reporter frances read has the latest. empty hallways, empty desks, children at home, because

the teachers say they aren't getting paid what they need. what do we want? fair pay! when do we want it? now! _ yesterday those in the national education union were here instead in what was a fourth day of national strike action. education is in such a bad place. education cannot continue in this way. now the disruption could get worse. the national association of head teachers says it will formally ballot its members in the england under industrial action over pay, funding, workload and well—being. we've only taken industrial action once in our 125 year history. so we go to ballot with a really heavy heart. no head teacher, no teacher, wants to take strike action, for children to miss a day, or more days, education. but we know the government are not listening to the concerns we have about the pay offer, the recruitment and retention of staff, and the fact that 92% of our members find the pay are unaffordable.

in a statement, the department for education said it had made a fair and reasonable offer to the unions, which recognises teachers' hard work and commitment, and added that next year school funding would be at its highest level in history. but unions say they are fed up with the continued mistreatment by government for a number of reasons. while there is no mandate for any strike action at the moment, if it does go ahead it is likely parents that will have to cope with that all people. frances read, bbc news. rmt members will strike on the 13th of may, the day of the eurovision song contest in liverpool. it follows aslef calling strikes on the 12th and 31st of may and on the 3rd ofjune, the day of the fa cup final. the foreign secretary, james cleverly, has urged all

uk nationals wishing to get out of sudan, to come forward as quickly as possible, after both sides in the conflict agreed to extend their ceasefire for another three days. so far, nearly 900 british nationals have been flown to safety by the raf. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams is in nairobi. good morning. a call for everyone to come as quickly as possible if they wish to leave the country. how are they reacting?— wish to leave the country. how are they reacting? yeah, this is another opportunity. — they reacting? yeah, this is another opportunity. this — they reacting? yeah, this is another opportunity, this extension - they reacting? yeah, this is another opportunity, this extension of - they reacting? yeah, this is another opportunity, this extension of the l opportunity, this extension of the ceasefire, which seemed very much in doubt until late last night when we heard a statement from one of the opposing militaries, who had been silent all day, finally saying they will abide by a ceasefire and that would enable foreign nationals to leave and humanitarian corridors to be established for the benefit of sudanese civilians, who are having such a wretch at a time of it at the

moment. then the scene was set for a bit of a breather. and clearly the international community, which has been very much pushing for this extension of the ceasefire, is seizing on the opportunity. you have the americans and the british are urging their nationals to make their exit as quickly as they can. and if so, i think we will see for the next couple of days at least that that air lift from a base north of the capital khartoum, and also varies from the red sea port of port sudan, that will all continue, enabling these numbers to increase. the last ceasefire was repeatedly broken. there is plenty of evidence to suggest that this new one will be too. and so, for the people of sudan this wretched crisis continues with no end in sight and a looming

humanitarian disaster. pauli no end in sight and a looming humanitarian disaster. paul adams. thank ou metropolitan police officers could be missing murders because the force has failed to learn from mistakes made in the case of serial killer stephen port. his majesty's inspectorate of constabulary and fire and rescue services said there had been a "calamitous litany of failures" in the investigation eight years ago. port is serving a whole life term for the murders of four men and a string of six attacks. helena wilkinson reports. stephen port poisoned antony wallgate, gabriel kovari, daniel whitworth and jack taylor with an overdose of a date rape drug at his flat in east london between june 2014 and september 2015. he was also found guilty of a series of sex assaults against other men. an inquest later heard the met police made a series of mistakes in the case. the deaths were not initially seen as suspicious by officers. today's report says some

improvements have since been made, nearly eight years since port murdered his last victim. but it said officers still relied on luck to identify links between deaths at a local level. every year, about 50,000 people in london die. about one in five of those gets a police officer called. and so they're turning up to about 30 deaths a day. and they're still not doing the thorough investigation, they're not getting the right evidence, they're not asking the right questions. and for that reason, they're making the same sorts of mistakes that they made back in 2014. inspectors also found that officers at the force were still inexperienced, untrained and poorly supervised. there was unacceptable record keeping, with records of deaths having basic omissions, and that the force had been slow to listen and reluctant to change until it is forced to do so, following recent inspections.

stephen, this is serious. yeah, i know. inspectors also considered whether homophobia explained why the met did not investigate port�*s killings properly, but said it was impossible to reach any definitive conclusions. it did, however, say there were, and still are, homophobic officers at the force, and that there was a lack of understanding of the lifestyle of those they were investigating. responding to the report, the met police said it accepted it had more to do to minimise the chance of a case like port�*s ever happening again. helena wilkinson, bbc news. police investigating the murder of a pregnant teacher in scotland have found a man's body in a reservoir. formal identification has not yet taken place, but officers believe it is david yates, who's 36 and the partner of marelle sturrock.

miss sturrock, who was 35, was found dead at her home in glasgow on tuesday. detectives were searching for mr yates in connection with the murder. there should be a decision later today from the gmb union on whether its members have voted to accept the government's pay offer. it comes a day after the royal college nursing was forced to suspend part of its planned 48—hour strike. the rcn decided to strike after rejecting the pay offer. a report examining the appointment of the bbc�*s chairman richard sharp is expected to be published later today. it looks at whether mr sharp properly disclosed details of any involvement in helping the then prime minister borisjohnson access a loan. mr sharp has denied any involvement. we can speak now to our political correspondent helen catt. morning to you. we are in the curious position this morning about being told it is imminent, this

report, and we do know quite a lot about what the investigation was about? we about what the investigation was about? ~ ., , ., , about what the investigation was about? ~ ., , ., about? we do. this was an investigation _ about? we do. this was an investigation by _ about? we do. this was an investigation by a - about? we do. this was an investigation by a barrister| about? we do. this was an - investigation by a barrister who has been looking at the appointment process and whether richard sharp broke a public appointment rules, which say candidates have to declare any potential conflicts of interest. the bbc chairman is appointed by the government on the recommendation of the prime minister. mr sharp was appointed in 2021 on the advice of borisjohnson. it later emerged that boris johnson. it later emerged that a borisjohnson. it later emerged that a few months before that mr sharp had been involved in helping to facilitate an £800,000 loan guaranteed to mrjohnson. he was approached by a friend, also a distant cousin of mrjohnson, who said he wanted to offer this. mr sharp said he met at the mode senior civil servant, sharp said he met at the mode senior civilservant, simon sharp said he met at the mode senior civil servant, simon case, and told him about the cousin of the prime minister added that he wanted to help the prime minister financially, but that was the end of his involvement. he was advised it could have buoyed a conflict by taking no

further part. earlier this year mr sharp was accused of serious errors of judgment. sharp was accused of serious errors ofjudgment. we have to wait to see what this report says. but any criticism is likely to increase pressure on mr sharp to step down. it is also likely to increase pressure on the government because the bbc doesn't have the power to remove its chairman. that is for the government. so, if there is any criticism you are likely to get calls from the opposition for the prime minister to intervene. like ou. prime minister to intervene. like you. ukrainian _ prime minister to intervene. like you. ukrainian cities _ prime minister to intervene. like you. ukrainian cities have been struck by a wave of micelles this morning, with kyiv suffering a heavy attack for the first time in more than 50 days. let's get more from our respondent hugo checa. how widespread is this?— widespread is this? yeah, good morninu. widespread is this? yeah, good morning- it _ widespread is this? yeah, good morning. it is _ widespread is this? yeah, good morning. it is a _ widespread is this? yeah, good morning. it is a little _ widespread is this? yeah, good morning. it is a little bit - widespread is this? yeah, good morning. it is a little bit after l morning. it is a little bit after eight o'clock this morning here in kyiv. we heard of the air raid alert shortly after four o'clock in the morning. now we are getting reports

from local authorities across the countries, cities in central and southern areas of ukraine were hit by those micelles by russia. in one city in the central part of the country, we have seen some dramatic pictures of a block of flats is partially collapsed after apparently being hit by a missile. at least three people have been confirmed deadin three people have been confirmed dead in that city. in the city of deeney pro a mother and her daughter aged three were killed when their house was hit. 0bviously these attacks happened when people were still sleeping across the country. here in kyiv” missiles were shot down by the air defence. it is the first time that missiles were launched at kyiv in more than 51 days. a significant development here in kyiv. this obviously happens as the ukrainians are expected to

scattering of showers expected to develop in the afternoon. temperatures in the mid to high teens. 19 degrees towards the south—east. colder in the northern part of scotland where there is more cloud in the breeze coming in from a northerly direction. heading through this evening and tonight a fair amount of dry and weather. low cloud lingering across parts of scotland. in the south again some mist and fog forming, a little bit like last night. it should be mild in frost free, with temperatures staying at four to 8 degrees for most. saturday looks like a brighter day. a few showers in parts of northern ring on first name. further south, a scattering of heavy showers developing, interrupting the sunshine. if you do catch when it could be heavy and potentially thundery. we could see 20 degrees tomorrow towards the south—east. a little bit colder still across the north of scotland. 1&1

little bit colder still across the north of scotland.— little bit colder still across the north of scotland. 14 minutes past six. there's been growing concern about the impact of concussion for people playing sport at grassroots level, and that's now being addressed with new guidance for clubs to manage head injuries. it says anyone with suspected concussion should be removed immediately from the pitch to rest for at least 2a hours, and players with definite symptoms should not return to competitive sport for at least 21 days. 0ur health correspondent jim reed reports. fast, fun, and at times, high impact. this team of under 15s are training hard in west london. your heads up here, yeah? that's where it's going to get, bang. here, players are learning how to tackle as safely as possible, how to protect themselves from a blow which could lead to a head injury. i think everyone kind of worries about getting injured. i think the main one that i kind of worry about is head injuries,

which is a big focus of what everyone really is now. everyone knows the risks of going into rugby, and everyone's safe with their tackles and how they conduct themselves, and especially with heads as well. it can ruin someone's career if it's bad. there's different ways of tackling. at clubs like this, coaches say player safety has been transformed over the last decade. when i was a child, it was very much if you got an injury, it was right, get them off, bandage them up, straight back on again. and i think there was this sort of worry about being able to speak up. the kids, they have a voice now. that means in times of them having something like a concussion, they're much more likely to express how they're feeling. use it! the runner! until now, it's often been left up to individual clubs and sporting bodies to set their own rules when it comes to dealing with head injuries. now, though, new national guidelines have been drawn up to better protect children and adults across the uk. the recommendations, based on earlier scottish guidance, say a player

with suspected concussion must be removed immediately. they should be checked by a medic, or nhs 111, within 2a hours. if there's a red flag symptom, like double vision, they must be assessed urgently, or go to a&e. have a shot. and crucially, any player with a head injury should not return to competitive sport, like football or rugby, for at least three weeks. and we don't want to put people off enjoying their sport and participating in it, but we do need to recognise that if there's a concussion, we need to raise awareness that that concussion needs to be actively managed in a similarway to if you've had a hip injury or a knee injury — you wouldn't just carry on playing, you'd come off and you can actively manage it so you don't make it worse. in rare cases, the consequences can be fatal. in 2011, 14—year—old ben robinson from northern ireland collapsed on the rugby pitch after multiple blows to the head. ben's death was so preventable.

his father told me he welcomed the new guidance, but said the attitude of some in sport still needs to shift. slowly it is changing. like we say, you can have all the protocols in the world, but if the culture of the coach is, "i need my best player up and playing", it goes out the window. it's reallyjust getting everybody the same awareness and the same education. it's hoped stronger guidance can now raise standards across all sports, allowing players like these to enjoy the game they love, while better protecting young heads and young minds. jim reed, bbc news. it is something we will be talking about later in the programme with a former athlete who has been concussed in the past. if you have had experiences, please let us know how it is handled in the clubs you are involved with and whether you think it needs to change. let's take a look at today's papers.

the times leads with the government announcing tougher gambling restrictions, highlighting the fact that under—25s will be treated very differently from older age groups. the daily mirror splashes on a striking image of a grandmother caring for her hungry great grandson in east africa, with the headline, �*please help us'. the paper says the region is "in the grip of the worst drought since the 1984 famine". the metro leads with train drivers union aslef announcing a strike on the day of the fa cup final at wembley. the headline says �*we've done the cup'. and the daily mail is one of several papers to run an image of the princess of wales abseiling down a cliff in the brecon beacons, now known as bannau brycheiniog the headline is, �*her royal harness'. she seems to have done it very well. it has a different name now, hasn't it charlie? have you seen anything on the inside?—

so they�*re turning up to about 30 deaths a day, and they�*re still not doing the thorough investigation and not getting the right evidence and not asking the right questions. and for that reason, they�*re making the same sorts of mistakes that they made back in 2014. the average rent in london has surpassed £2,500 a month for the first time. property website rightmove says asking prices are high because of the number of people looking to rent, and a shortage of properties available across the capital. its flagship store in central london closed four years ago, but hmv is making a comeback. it�*s signed a lease to reopen its old shop at 363 oxford street, to open later this year. the site where hmv opened its first shop in 1921, has been operating as an american sweet shop since the closure. it�*s 100 years since wembley stadium first opened its doors to the public.

over the past century, whether the original stadium or its state—of—the—art replacement, it�*s played host to some of the world�*s most famous sports stars, events and musicians. the first fixture was the fa cup final — which has become a staple of its annual calendar. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kat. hello, there, good morning to you. it�*s a mild start to the day with plenty of cloud out there this morning, and a few pockets of mist and fog. and that cloud may be thick enough to produce the odd spot of drizzle but, as the day progresses, it will start to brighten up — particularly through this afternoon — we should get some decent sunny spells. but there�*s a chance of one or two showers, there�*ll be a noticeable breeze around, and it will feel warmer today — we�*re looking at highs of around 19 degrees celsius. now through this evening, any showers will clear — that�*ll leave it mostly dry, with variable amounts of cloud and clear spells, there is a risk of some mist and fog

once again, and not particularly cold — our temperatures will fall away to around seven or eight degrees celsius. now through saturday, there�*ll be some sunshine around, but still quite a lot of cloud at times, but there is a chance of a few showers. some of these showers could fall heavy, and we may hear the odd rumble of thunder. but notice our temperatures on saturday — potentially up to around 21 degrees celsius, and it does look to stay mild also on sunday, with the best of the sunshine towards the end of the afternoon. we�*ll start off on a showery note on monday, but there�*ll be plenty of sunshine through the rest of the day. that�*s it — there�*s all the day�*s stories on the bbc news app, or head to our website. we�*re back in half an hour — see you then, bye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we�*ve spoken a lot recently about rising mortgage costs — but people renting are facing big increases, too. hannah�*s having a look at this for us.

you have some figures to give us an indication stuck in new figures out this morning but many people just finding it simply impossible to find a place finding it simply impossible to find a lace ., , finding it simply impossible to find alace . ., yes, some tenants are facing rent hikes of hundreds of pounds a month — that�*s of course on top of rising food and energy bills as well. for others, it�*s a question of whether they can find a suitable property in their price range at all. £1,190 a month is now the average asking price for rent outside of london — a new record high. meanwhile in the capital average rent is hitting more than £2,500 for the first time. the property website rightmove says it�*s a case of supply and demand driving up prices — too many people competing forfewer properties. research for the bbc shows the number of homes available to rent in the uk has fallen by a third over the past 18 months. why? well, the vast majority of landlords have interest—only mortgages.

and with interest rates hiked to above 4% to control rising inflation, they�*re facing extra costs of hundreds of pounds a month. that�*s either being passed on to tenants — or, in some cases, landlords are simply selling up because, along with tax changes and increased regulation, they feel it�*s become unviable. 11% of homes for sale on one website last month were previously rented out — meaning fewer homes available for tenants. people have also had increases in property values. so when properties have come empty, where they might traditionally try to secure a new tenant, they've now realised that the property's increased in value, so they've now look to sell. and they're really the factors that are contributing to landlords exiting the market. it creates a bit of a vicious cycle, really, because it does have knock—on effects to tenants and rents with the shortage of supply.

are you worried about rising rent costs? has your landlord put your rent up and you can no longer afford it? we want to hear your stories and we�*ll put them to an expert a little later on. please tell us your name if you would like it to be included. and if you�*re worried about the rising cost of living — there�*s lots of help and advice on the bbc news website — bbc.co.uk/news — where you can find the section called cost of living: tackling it together. i think this is the kind of story that will chime with many people. absolutely. i can imagine lots of people will get in touch. very frustrating situation. so, where are you starting this morning? we so, where are you starting this mornin: ? ~ ., ~ so, where are you starting this morning?— so, where are you starting this morninu? ~ ., ,, ., morning? we will talk about the top four, the fight _ morning? we will talk about the top four, the fight for _ morning? we will talk about the top four, the fight for champions - morning? we will talk about the top | four, the fight for champions league football next season. things are

hotting up, we talked about the title race with manchester city and arsenal. things are very much still to play for at the bottom of the table where everton were struggling having been beaten 4—1 by newcastle. but what a story about eddie howe. we have talked about the saudi takeover but he took over last season when newcastle were struggling to survive. they were in a relegation fight. fast forward a season and here they are intentionally cementing a place in the champions league. an incredible story for newcastle and their supporters and they are looking pretty much unstoppable at the moment with that 4—1 win at goodison park last night. callum wilson�*s second of the night was the pick of the goals — what a finish that was. newcastle stay third, strengthening their position in the top four. everton are second from bottom, two points from safety with just five games to go. manager sean dyche is trying to stay positive. for a large part of that half, i take that — you know, even if even if this all gets away, i'll take that performance.

even if this all gets away, i'll take that performance. but when the second goes in, can't take that performance. that's when you go, "no, no, no." the basics go out the window. the sort of feel of the performance goes out the window. when i got here, if you remember, there was pundits saying, "they're gone, they've shot it, there's no chance." so it feels exactly the same. that's the reality of the challenge that i took over. it's still there, we've got to correct it. tottenham overcame their humiliating 6—1 thrashing at the weekend to salvage a draw against manchester united — who threw away a 2—0 lead. marcus rashford had united cruising at half—time, off the back of reaching the fa cup final at the weekend, but spurs came out fighting in the second half — son heung—min rescuing a point here. a welcome result for ryan mason in his first game back as interim boss. united stay fourth — six points ahead of spurs, who play at liverpool on sunday. my opinion was we didn't play that well. but still, we had a lot of chances, but we didn't finish, we didn't... we were not clinical enough.

but we score two times and then you have to finish the game. although we scored twice in an away game — which is good — but the goals we concede, they were so easy and we could avoid them. and at the other end of the table, a huge step towards premier league safety for bournemouth who are seven points clear of the relegation zone after a 1—0 win at southampton who remain adrift at the bottom. that�*s three wins from four for bournemouth. it's nice to get three points, of course, — it's nice to get three points, of course, in _ it's nice to get three points, of course, in what is a huge games but the lads _ course, in what is a huge games but the lads thoroughly deserved it. we should _ the lads thoroughly deserved it. we should have been more clinical, it should _ should have been more clinical, it should have been more clinical, it should have been more clinical, it should have been done, really but we -et should have been done, really but we get to— should have been done, really but we get to show— should have been done, really but we get to show a resilient side at the end and _ get to show a resilient side at the end and hang on against a team that were desperate, throwing everything forward _ were desperate, throwing everything forward including the goalkeeper. it was a _ forward including the goalkeeper. it was a good win. chelsea�*s hopes of winning the women�*s champions league are over, as is their pursuit of a treble, after they were beaten across two legs by the mighty barcelona. in front of more than 70,000 fans at camp nou, they held the home side to a 1—1 draw last night, but it wasn�*t enough —

as jo currie reports. a raucous nou camp — a fitting arena for the battle between two european giants. victory for chelsea would arguably be their greatest—ever result. but barcelona weren�*t going to give up theirfirst—leg lead easily. an early scare from caroline graham hansen, before the referee blew for a handball. other dangerous chances followed, the londoners getting to the break without conceding — but only just. after the restart, life got tougher — hansen with a cool finish, which couldn�*t be stopped on the line. was chelsea�*s improbable task now impossible? they desperately needed some grit — and a goal. sam kerr provided the former, guru wrighton with the moment that gave her side hope. guru wrighton has got one back for chelsea! but further opportunities were few and far between — and when they did come, they were wasted. barcelona through to their third final in four years. english hopes now rest on arsenal, who face wolfsburg on monday. jo currie, bbc news.

that big game for arsenal to come. we�*re getting towards the business end of things at the snooker�*s world championship at the crucible. mark allen leads mark selby after the opening session of their semifinal. both players traded the lead with allen winning the last two frames to take a 5—3 overnight lead. their match resumes later this afternoon. it�*s the same score in the other semifinal. this the 20—year—old from china, si jiahui, the first debutant to reach the last four for nearly 30 years. and he withstood a comeback from luca brecel — the man who knocked out ronnie 0�*sullivan — to lead 5—3 after the first session. american basketball star britney gray say she had to dig deep to get through her detention in russia. she was held on drug charges in february after authorities at a moscow airport found cannabis oil in her luggage. she was sentenced to nine years in prison before returning to america in a prisoner swap in december. america in a prisoner swap in december-—

andy murray, 35 and just beginning to think in a way that might suggest this could be, could be the operative word... yeah we have said this for so long and he has had this mannus five set matches and come through the other side and been brilliant but ijust think through the other side and been brilliant but i just think we through the other side and been brilliant but ijust think we keep enjoying him for as long as we can. those two mammoth wins at the australian open keeps him believing. clay is not his best service but in 2016 he had run all the way to a final but he thinks he can have a good run at wimbledon, though nobody is talking about him winning. as you said, we have seen him do it before when we have written him off. why not a good run in the second week at wimbledon? who knows. who not a good run in the second week at wimbledon? who knows. who knows indeed. wimbledon? who knows. who knows indeed- serra — wimbledon? who knows. who knows indeed. serra has— wimbledon? who knows. who knows indeed. serra has the _ wimbledon? who knows. who knows indeed. serra has the weather. -

start to the day, it seems like this, quite misty in perth for instance. this morning brings a lot of low cloud producing some mist and fog, but if you bear with the weather, this afternoon should brighten up, particularly to the south. a bit more sunshine breaking through and those temperatures for many a touch warmer than they have been of late. we have that cloud piling in, you can see it on the satellite image, but slightly clearer skies just starting to working across parts of wales and the south—west and the low pressure that brought the rain over the past 24 hours is drifting away to the east and we have slightly higher pressure. light winds for most, still cool with northerly winds across northern parts of scotland. you can see a lot of cloud across the board this morning. some sunnier skies breaking through the southern england, into wales, northern ireland, but a scattering of showers developing through the afternoon. some hit and miss showers but some brighter conditions in between. temperatures in the south—east up to about 19 degrees or so today. typically the mid to high teens for most but a little colder than that

across the northern half of scotland. through this evening and tonight we keep more cloud scotland in particular. a few spots of rain, even a bit of snow over the highest mountains overnight. further south, a few splashes of light rain, but fairly clear skies but we are likely to see mist and fog patches developing like last night. and they can start to saturday, temperatures four to 8 degrees. what about the bank holiday weekend? bit of a mixed picture. some scattered showers, some sunshine around, but a little warmer than it has been. saturday, we start off with a fair amount of cloud, especially in the north. a few splashes of rain for northern ireland, perhaps northern england, sunshine and showers developing further south across england, wales and northern ireland. cloudy skies across parts of scotland but we could see the temperatures perhaps up could see the temperatures perhaps up to about 20 degrees or so for saturday. into sunday and bank holiday monday, it�*s that mixture of sunny spells, scattered showers around. it is packing the umbrella

will be very badly hit. in terms of the drivers it is about pay. they say the offer they have just had, 4% last year, 4% this year, is derisory, and for the rmt union it is about pay but also the conditions, the strings that come with it, and they say that the train operators have been egged on what they had previously promised, the train operators vigorously reject that —— train operators vigorously reject that -- -- train operators vigorously reject that —— —— they have renegged. ianthem that -- -- they have renegged. when we no to that -- -- they have renegged. when we go to the — that -- -- they have renegged. when we go to the date _ that -- -- they have renegged. when we go to the date we _ that -- -- they have renegged. when we go to the date we know _ that —— —— they have renegged. when we go to the date we know about, these are the planned strikes. clearly things could change between now and then. how do you advise people in terms people want to make plans, it doesn�*t have to be big events, just ordinary life things. do you book? do they change the timetable is a long time in advance? it has been pretty messy ever since lastjune when these national rail strikes began, the first since the 19805. strikes began, the first since the 1980s. since then, people like me who rely on the trains cannot make

any definite plans more than two weeks ahead because that is the minimum length of time the unions have to give. i don�*t see any prospect that the earliest strikes, the train drivers on the 12th of may, the rmt on the 13th of may, will be called off. called as close as they can to end the strikes are actually taking place. it might be that after that we will see some negotiation but the two sides seem a very long way what part —— a pipe. what happens if you have a ticket for one of those days? if what happens if you have a ticket for one of those days?— what happens if you have a ticket for one of those days? if you have an advance _ for one of those days? if you have an advance ticket, _ for one of those days? if you have an advance ticket, normal- for one of those days? if you have an advance ticket, normal optionsj an advance ticket, normal options will kick in. you can get a full refund or you can travel on alternative days. the train operators have not yet said what they are doing because this news broke yesterday, the rmt late yesterday afternoon. in terms of eurovision and merseyrail will not only be operating normally, it is not involved in the dispute, they will actually be running trains

which is great news if you want to go to chester and 0rmskirk and southport but unfortunately won�*t get any further on those train operators and just check, megabus has an option if you are travelling from london to liverpool early on the friday, back early on sunday, still under £40 but those tickets will go very quickly. lots of people waking up thinking, oh, no, what i�*m going to do?! and of course accommodation in liverpool for eurovision is an entirely separate story. good luck there, everybody. that is all gone, that went really quickly. thank you so much, lovely speaking to you. simon calder, there. it is always a good story when you have different cultures that come together and something really good comes out of it. something creative. black sabbath and ballet on the other side. black sabbath and ballet on the otherside. mash

birmingham royal ballet is to bring awareness of the treasure that this city had given to the world, and black sabbath is a perfect fit. # can you help me occupy my brain? it is a subject that opens curiosity, because we come from the ballet world and then the heavy—metal world — what�*s going to be the negotiation? what will be the product at the end? and that excites me. how easy is their music to dance to? there�*s a lot of melodic feel to black sabbath. there is a lot there to choose from, there are subjects or a kind of feel for dance. # has he lost his mind? # can he see or is he blind? the ballet, which will premiere in september, is described as a metal symphony over three acts. and, crucially, carlos persuaded sabbath�*s guitarist, tony iommi, to give the show his blessing. black sabbath — the ballet. why?! he laughs. why not?!

how much did you know about ballet beforehand? not a dot. no, ididn't... i've never been to a ballet. a section will tell black sabbath�*s story, and how they became one of the biggest bands of all time. there will even be a dance interpretation of the fateful day when a 17—year—old tony iommi lost the tops of two fingers in an industrial accident in a sheet—metal factory. they asked you to tell them the story, so they get it right. i thought you were going to say, have they asked me to dance? he laughs. yes. we've gone through that. they've got... they know all about that. how do you do that in ballet? the whole thing is different and not been done before. # generals gathered in their masses... i a big issue lately has been musicals, and whether the crowd should be allowed to sing along with them or not. in fact, there was one recently with the band in the bodyguard.

that's right, i saw that — yes, i saw that. so — sabbath fans, will you be encouraging them to sing along? well... i spoke with carlos about this. i said, "you know they're going to start singing the songs?" he went, "good, good, good!" so he's really open for everything, you know? # evil minds thatl plot destruction... how involved�*s ozzy? just...not really involved. ozzy's not really involved. well, he's in the states anyway, and i'm the only one here. how is he at the moment? he's 0k. i heard from him a couple of days ago. he's... he's doing all right — i think he's going to have another operation. i mean, he's had so many operations there, it's like... but he's dying to get back here — he's dying to, he really wants to come back to england and live here again. and see the ballet? yes, he might well be — if he's back in time, he'll be... he'll be here, yeah. the birmingham run has already sold out, but there are hopes that the show will travel around the world. yes, black sabbath back on tour — ballet style!

a report by the inspectorate of constabularies found initial assessments of stephen port�*s victims were the catalysts for big failings in their investigation. port�*s murders were not linked until after the fourth body was discovered at a graveyard in barking. the latest report also found training was "inadequate" and recordkeeping was "unacceptable" which led to mistakes. i am confident that we have improved our training of officers, that we've improved our approach to this, and that we do everything we can to minimise the chances of ever missing a case. so i am very confident that we have made some improvements, but clearly not enough. four men have been charged with the murder of a 22—year—old, shot dead in south london. tyrese miller was found in croydon road in mitcham in the early hours of april 4. the men are due to appear at wimbledon magistrates�* court later. from this weekend, passengers will see major changes to some central london bus routes. three are being scrapped entirely.

transport for london say it needs to balance the budget after a drop in bus usage in some areas. covid is obviously a factor. also, we�*ve upgraded various railways and underground lines, there�*s been a transfer of traffic. and what we have now on some corridors is much more capacity than there are users. it�*s 100 years since wembley stadium first opened its doors to the public. over the past century, whether the original stadium or its state—of—the—art replacement, it�*s played host to some of the world�*s most famous sports stars, events and musicians. the first fixture was the fa cup final, which has become a staple of its annual calendar. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kat. hello, there, good morning to you. it�*s a mild start to the day with plenty of cloud out there this morning, and a few pockets of mist and fog. and that cloud may be thick enough to produce the odd

spot of drizzle but, as the day progresses, it will start to brighten up — particularly through this afternoon — we should get some decent sunny spells. but there�*s a chance of one or two showers, there�*ll be a noticeable breeze around, and it will feel warmer today — we�*re looking at highs of around 19 degrees celsius. now through this evening, any showers will clear — that�*ll leave it mostly dry, with variable amounts of cloud and clear spells, there is a risk of some mist and fog once again, and not particularly cold — our temperatures will fall away to around seven or eight degrees celsius. now through saturday, there�*ll be some sunshine around, but still quite a lot of cloud at times, but there is a chance of a few showers. some of these showers could fall heavy, and we may hear the odd rumble of thunder. but notice our temperatures on saturday — potentially up to around 21 degrees celsius, and it does look to stay mild also on sunday, with the best of the sunshine towards the end of the afternoon. we�*ll start off on a showery note on monday, but there�*ll be plenty of sunshine through the rest of the day. that�*s it — there�*s all the day�*s stories on the bbc news app or head to our website.

we�*re back in half an hour. see you then. bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today. more disruption could be on the way for schools and parents as headteachers in england are to be balloted again on strike action. the ceasefire in sudan is extended for another three days — efforts continue to get british nationals out of the country.

air warning the metropolitan police could be missing murders because it failed to learn lessons from a serial killer case. good morning. newcastle are edging closer to the champions league with a win at goodison park that leaves everton deep in relegation trouble. preparingfor lived off, former paralympian john preparingfor lived off, former paralympianjohn mcfall hopes to become the first disabled astronaut to be sent into space. good morning. it is a rather grey and a drizzly start. 0utbreaks good morning. it is a rather grey and a drizzly start. outbreaks of rain. the weather will brighten up today for many. particularly in the south. a touch warmer as well. details for today and the bank holiday weekend here on breakfast. good morning. it�*s friday, the 28th of april. our main story. head teachers in england will be balloted for strike action, in a move which could see further disruption for schools and parents.

the national association of head teachers union last held a strike vote in january which supported taking action but vote injanuary which supported taking action but did not vote in january which supported taking action but did not reach the required 50% turnout. ministers say the pay deal is fair and reasonable. 0ur reporter frances read has the latest. empty hallways, empty desks, children at home, because the teachers say they aren�*t getting paid what they need. what do we want? fair pay! when do we want it? now! _ yesterday those in the national education union were here instead in what was a fourth day of national strike action. education is in such a bad place. education cannot continue in this way. now the disruption could get worse. the national association of head teachers says it will formally ballot its members in the england under industrial action over pay, funding, workload and well—being. we've only taken industrial action once in our 125 year history. so we go to ballot with a really heavy heart.

no head teacher, no teacher, wants to take strike action, for children to miss a day, or more days, education. but we know the government are not listening to the concerns we have about the pay offer, the recruitment and retention of staff, and the fact that 92% of our members find the pay offer unaffordable. in a statement, the department for education said it had made a fair and reasonable offer to the unions, which recognises teachers�* hard work and commitment, and added that next year school funding would be at its highest level in history. but unions say they are fed up with the continued mistreatment by government for a number of reasons. while there is no mandate for any strike action at the moment, if it does go ahead it is likely parents that will have to cope with that people. frances read, bbc news. meanwhile, there will be more disruption on the roadways as workers tried a strike next month after the rmt union rejected the latest pay deal from train

operators. rmt members will strike at the 13th of may, the day of the eurovision song contest in liverpool. it follows aslef calling strikes on the 12th and 31st of may, and add a 3rd ofjune, the day of the fa cup final. and there should be noticed today from the gmb union on whether its members have voted to accept the pay offer from the government stop it comes a day after the royal college of nursing was forced to suspend their 48—hour strike. foreign secretary james cleverly has urged all uk nationals waiting to leave sudan to come forward as quickly as possible after both sides in the conflict agreed to extend the ceasefire for another three days. so far we know nearly 900 british nationals have been flown to safety by the raf. let�*s speak to nick garrett, who is at larnaca airport in cyprus. good morning. i know you

have been monitoring closely those arrivals. what is the picture today? well, behind me you can see some of the people who are on their way to britain. larnaca airport is a halfway house. they come in by military plane and they check in as normal passengers, and i then put on a charterflight which normal passengers, and i then put on a charter flight which will take them to the uk. these are the people who have arrived in the last few hours. 900 overnight. another couple of flights have come in overnight. that number has gone up. the british government will continue. they will do as many flights as they possibly can as long as it remains safe. the 72 hour ceasefire means there will be more flights. whether it will be enough to get everybody out before it comes to an end, that is difficult to say. the british government says there are 4000 uk nationals in sudan. and 2000 have beenin nationals in sudan. and 2000 have been in touch to say they want to leave. so, we are halfway there on the figure. but there is still an awful lot to do. now the situation

in khartoum is very difficult. getting to the airport is hard. people have been telling me that if they have to go through checkpoints, they have to go through checkpoints, they have to pay bribes. if they don�*t, if they try to get through, they get rocks thrown at their cars. and they try to stop on the road as well. the other routes available to british nationals who want to leave, the government says its primary one is the airfield. but if you live over to the east, towards port sudan, which is about 800 kilometres, 500 miles, from khartoum, that you should be going there and picking up ferries to saudi arabia and jeddah. it is a complicated situation. what you can see now is the nextjourney for these people as they go back to the uk. thank you very much. nick garnett at larnaca airport. ukrainian officials say six people have been killed across the country in a wave of russian air strikes early this morning. four people were left dead and 17 more injured in the city of uman. a residential building

partially collapsed. in dnipro a mother and her three—year—old daughter were killed after their house was hit. metropolitan police officers could be missing murders because the force has failed to learn from mistakes made in the case of serial killer stephen port. his majesty�*s inspectorate of constabulary and fire and rescue services said there had been a "calamitous litany of failures" in the investigation eight years ago. port is serving a whole life term for the murders of four men and a string of six attacks. helena wilkinson reports. stephen port poisoned antony wallgate, gabriel kovari, daniel whitworth and jack taylor with an overdose of a date rape drug at his flat in east london between june 2014 and september 2015. he was also found guilty of a series of sex assaults against other men. an inquest later heard the met police made a series of mistakes in the case.

the deaths were not initially seen as suspicious by officers. today�*s report says some improvements have since been made, nearly eight years since port murdered his last victim. but it said officers still relied on luck to identify links between deaths at a local level. every year, about 50,000 people in london die. about one in five of those gets a police officer called. and so they�*re turning up to about 30 deaths a day. and they�*re still not doing the thorough investigation, they�*re not getting the right evidence, they�*re not asking the right questions. and for that reason, they�*re making the same sorts of mistakes that they made back in 2014. inspectors also found that officers at the force were still inexperienced, untrained and poorly supervised. there was unacceptable record keeping, with records of deaths having basic omissions, and that the force had been slow to listen and reluctant to change

until it is forced to do so, following recent inspections. stephen, this is serious. yeah, i know. inspectors also considered whether homophobia explained why the met did not investigate port�*s killings properly, but said it was impossible to reach any definitive conclusions. it did, however, say there were, and still are, homophobic officers at the force, and that there was a lack of understanding of the lifestyle of those they were investigating. responding to the report, the met police said it accepted it had more to do to minimise the chance of a case like port�*s ever happening again. helena wilkinson, bbc news. police investigating the murder of a pregnant teacher in scotland have found a man�*s body in a reservoir.

formal identification has not yet taken place, but officers believe it is david yates, who�*s 36 and the partner of marelle sturrock. miss sturrock, who was 35, was found dead at her home in glasgow on tuesday. detectives were searching for mr yates in connection with the murder. a report examining the appointment of bbc chairman richard sharp is expected to be published later today. it looks at whether mr sharp properly disclosed details of any involvement in helping the then prime minister borisjohnson access a loan. mr sharp has denied any involvement. we can speak now to our political correspondent helen catt. morning to you. so this morning we are expecting this report to be published and a lot is known about just what they are investigating? yeah. faces an inquiry by barrister adam heppinstall. as part it is

expected he will have to decide whether mr shah broke public appointment rules, which say you have to declare any potential conflict—of—interest. correct mr sharp. mr sharp was appointed in february of 2021 on the advice of borisjohnson. it later emerged that boris johnson. it later emerged that a borisjohnson. it later emerged that a few months before that, mr sharp had been involved in helping to facilitate a loan guarantee of £800,000 to mrjohnson. he was approached by a friend, who was also approached by a friend, who was also a distant cousin of mrjohnson, who said he wanted to operate. what mr sharp has said he did do was speak to cabinet secretary simon case about the existence of this distant cousin will help in the fact he wanted to help mrjohnson out financially. he said that was the end of his involvement and he was advised he could avoid a conflict—of—interest by taking no further part. a committee of mps though, they have accused of a serious error ofjudgment. we have

to wait to see what this report concludes. but if there is any criticism is likely to put mr gresham correct or pressure on mr sharp to stand down. the bbc does not have the power to remove the chairman. that is for the government stop there is likely to be pressure from the opposition if there is any criticism, for rishi sunak to intervene. thank you. 12 minutes past seven. television presenterjames gordon television presenter james gordon has television presenterjames gordon has hosted its final episode of the late late show in the united states. the british entertainer, who moved to the us eight years ago, started to the us eight years ago, started to present his chat show, which became a huge success thanks to his ability to get big stars like tom cruise doing things like a state that —— stage adaptation of lion king, which features in the final show, taking place right now. he made an emotional speech to finish. ever wanted isjust to be

going to improve. brightening up, particularly towards the south, a bit more sunshine, warmer than of late. here is the low pressure that has brought us the rain over the past 24 hours. that is gradually easing the way towards the east. the remnants of an old cold front sitting across parts of scotland. more cloud lingering for parts of scotland, northern england as well. but for northern ireland, wales and central and southern england, sunny spells breaking through. there will be the odd shower or bubbling up. which is not doing too badly. we are looking at the mid—teens, probably 19 or 20 degrees in the south—east, cooler than that for parts of northern and eastern scotland. colour down the east coast of england too. this evening and overnight most of us largely dry. still a few spots of light rain across parts of scotland. some rain from the west as well. where we see the clear skies there is likely to be mist and fog forming. a bit like last night. a murky start to your saturday. frost free. around four to

80 degrees. through the day on saturday they will be more sunshine for a central and southern england, into wales and northern ireland as well. a scattering of showers bubbling up. hit and miss. well. a scattering of showers bubbling up. hitand miss. could be heavy and thundery. in between those showers, round about 15 to 19 degrees. that is in the south. eight to 11 in parts of scotland. a story of sunshine and showers. that continues for sunday into bank holiday monday. if you can dodge the showers, they will be some sunshine in between. thankfully at last it is time showers, they will be some sunshine in between. thankfully at last it is time to showers, they will be some sunshine in between. thankfully at last it is time to feel showers, they will be some sunshine in between. thankfully at last it is time to feel that showers, they will be some sunshine in between. thankfully at last it is time to feel that bit showers, they will be some sunshine in between. thankfully at last it is time to feel that bit warmer. thank you very much. it does look a little better looking at those temperatures. with fist fights, expletives, outrageous confessions, thejerry springer show did at one time defined daytime television for a generation of viewers. tributes have been paid to its host, the self—confessed ringmaster of the controversial programme, who has died at the age of 79. let�*s look

and more sort of bizarre as the years went on. but in those later years went on. but in those later years people actually knew what they were signing up for. that is important. he saw himself as a ringmaster. important. he saw himself as a ringmaster-— ringmaster. trisha, i hope we haven't lost — ringmaster. trisha, i hope we haven't lost you. _ ringmaster. trisha, i hope we haven't lost you. from - ringmaster. trisha, i hope we haven't lost you. from what l ringmaster. trisha, i hope we haven't lost you. from what i | haven�*t lost you. from what i understand, what he said about what he did was he thought there were a lot of people in society who are not represented on television. i was tv snooty about people, putting regular people who behaved normally, why were they snooty about having them on tv? . ., , ., were they snooty about having them on tv? . .,, ., ., , on tv? yeah, he was one of the first who pioneered _ on tv? yeah, he was one of the first who pioneered that, _ on tv? yeah, he was one of the first who pioneered that, if _ on tv? yeah, he was one of the first who pioneered that, if you _ on tv? yeah, he was one of the first who pioneered that, if you like. - on tv? yeah, he was one of the first who pioneered that, if you like. you | who pioneered that, if you like. you couldn�*t do that kind of tv now. but backin couldn�*t do that kind of tv now. but back in the day this was the sort of thing that happened in the everyday neighbourhoods and streets of america. why shouldn�*t it happen on tv? in the latter years it became a bit of a stage show. people went on

for all sorts of mad reasons. but whether you agree with it or not, as a person he was pretty different from his show. he saw himself as a ringmaster. he always was likely removed from things. yeah, it was a general and of itself. right or genre. when that show finished he did a show called judgejerry. it did a show called judgejerry. it did run its time. other talk shows took over. more care was taken of guests. and the issues are probably more serious or dealt with in depth. different talk—show host and different kinds of shows. all i can say is he was a lovely person to work with. all of our right or our little family at nbc have been hit by this. he wasn�*t starry. he was very sweet to me. i was the only

could happen today. a report by the inspectorate of constabularies found initial assessments of stephen port�*s victims were the catalysts for big failings in their investigation. port�*s murders were not linked until after the fourth body was discovered at a graveyard in barking. the latest report also found training was "inadequate" and record keeping was "unacceptable", which led to mistakes. so they�*re turning up to about 30 deaths a day, and they�*re still not doing the thorough investigation and not getting the right evidence and not asking the right questions. and for that reason, they�*re making the same sorts of mistakes that they made back in 2014. the met says it has reviewed and updated its training for frontline officers. it says it is also looking at what it can do better support families and wants to "make real change". the average rent in london has surpassed £2,500 a month for the first time.

property website rightmove says asking prices are high because of the number of people looking to rent, and a shortage of properties available across the capital. its flagship store in central london closed four years ago, but hmv is making a comeback. it�*s signed a lease to reopen its old shop at 363 oxford street, to open later this year. the site where hmv opened its first shop in 1921, has been operating as an american sweet shop since the closure. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kat. hello, there, good morning to you. it�*s a mild start to the day with plenty of cloud out there this morning, and a few pockets of mist and fog. and that cloud may be thick

enough to produce the odd spot of drizzle but, as the day progresses, it will start to brighten up — particularly through this afternoon — we should get some decent sunny spells. but there�*s a chance of one or two showers, there�*ll be a noticeable breeze around, and it will feel warmer today — we�*re looking at highs of around 19 degrees celsius. now through this evening, any showers will clear — that�*ll leave it mostly dry, with variable amounts of cloud and clear spells, there is a risk of some mist and fog once again, and not particularly cold — our temperatures will fall away to around seven or eight degrees celsius. now through saturday, there�*ll be some sunshine around, but still quite a lot of cloud at times, but there is a chance of a few showers. some of these showers could fall heavy, and we may hear the odd rumble of thunder. but notice our temperatures on saturday — potentially up to around 21 degrees celsius, and it does look to stay mild also on sunday, with the best of the sunshine towards the end of the afternoon. we�*ll start off on a showery note on monday, but there�*ll be plenty of sunshine through the rest of the day.

that�*s it — there�*s all the day�*s stories on the bbc news app, or head to our website. we�*re back in half an hour — see you then, bye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty we charlie stayt and naga munchetty will get an updat 110w. we will get an update on the sport now. a lot of controversy around the football. i know you will start with newcastle but i still think when a team like tottenham hotspur comes back after having to refund the fans tickets because they were thumped, they came back and i think it was son who said their draw was driven by anger. they were giving back to the fans, they had no choice. it were giving back to the fans, they had no choice.— had no choice. it up in a while to net auoin had no choice. it up in a while to get going last — had no choice. it up in a while to get going last night. _ had no choice. it up in a while to get going last night. the - had no choice. it up in a while to get going last night. the second | get going last night. the second half when they finally responded. front 2— 02 2—2 from that 6—1 drubbing when they had to refund the

that�*s three wins from four for bournemouth. chelsea�*s run in the women�*s champions league is over, as is their pursuit of a treble, after they were beaten across two legs by the mighty barcelona. in front of more than 70,000 fans at camp nou, they held the home side it looks like barcelona might have made it 28 wins in a row. the 1—0 defeat in the first leg proving to be their undoing. if defeat in the first leg proving to be their undoing.— defeat in the first leg proving to be their undoing. if there was a bit loner in be their undoing. if there was a bit longer in the _ be their undoing. if there was a bit longer in the game _ be their undoing. if there was a bit longer in the game i _ be their undoing. if there was a bit longer in the game i think- be their undoing. if there was a bit longer in the game i think we - be their undoing. if there was a bit| longer in the game i think we would have gone on and won it but i can�*t ask for any more. i don�*t know how many teams come here and put them under pressure. they were panicking, we could hear it on the touchline. even their manager got booked. they are not used to that, and that belief i think for us we have to keep finding in ourselves.

did back in 2010. the statement that we get more gross funding than ever before is right, but we do more than ever. we are looking at making sure we are the front line for safeguarding, we feed families in the school holidays, we find dental health first aid for children. that statement is right but does not take account for the scope of work we now do in our school system. this a account for the scope of work we now do in our school system.— do in our school system. as a head teacher and — do in our school system. as a head teacher and also _ do in our school system. as a head teacher and also representing - do in our school system. as a head teacher and also representing a i teacher and also representing a union you will be well aware of the discussions about 0fsted inspections, and i believe you recently in your own school had an 0fsted inspection. there has been great debate about the impact of those on teachers, whether they are done correctly, whether it is the right way to classify them with these oneword terminology. what effect does it have on you personally but also in terms of the school? we personally but also in terms of the school? ~ . ., , , . ., personally but also in terms of the school? ~ . ., ,, . ., school? we had an inspection last week and it _ school? we had an inspection last week and it was _ school? we had an inspection last week and it was very _ school? we had an inspection last week and it was very intense - school? we had an inspection last week and it was very intense stop | school? we had an inspection last i week and it was very intense stop we have no inspectors on site for two days and i think the difference is, i have had eight inspections as a school leader and i think the

accountability and the new framework is spread across the team, spread across classroom teachers. and that is not right because i expect some accountability in myjob because i am a head teacher and i expect to go and front up these 0fsted inspections. but when i have members of staff saying they don�*t think they can come in for the second day because of the intense pressure, and we had a very good team that really did look after staff well—being, but it is not good enough. we are losing teachers notjust because of pay and conditions, we are losing teachers because of the accountability system in england. because of the accountability system in encland. ,, ., ., ,, i. in england. simon kidwell, thank you for our in england. simon kidwell, thank you for yourtime- — in england. simon kidwell, thank you for your time. head _ in england. simon kidwell, thank you for your time. head teacher - in england. simon kidwell, thank you for your time. head teacher and - for your time. head teacher and president—elect of the national association of head teachers. for the first time in more than quarter of a century, scotland�*s ancient stone of destiny has been removed from edinburgh castle, as it starts its journey to london in time for the coronation of king charles. a formal ceremony — which included scotland�*s first minister — marked the temporary departure, as our scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports.

bagpipes play. it is the ancient symbol of scotland�*s monarchy — the historic stone of destiny — leaving scotland for the first time in more than 25 years. this sandstone block has been used for centuries of coronations. a ceremonial procession from edinburgh castle�*s great hall marking its temporary departure to westminster abbey for use in the coronation of king charles. we�*ve done quite a lot of kind of preparation work. the stone has been described rather worryingly as the soul of scotland, and nobody wants to drop that on the floor! so, yes, there�*s been quite a lot of pressure. there�*s been tight security and secrecy surrounding the stone of destiny�*s journey south from here at edinburgh castle — it�*s not known how it�*s been transported or when it�*ll arrive at westminster abbey. even some of those who oversaw all the ceremonial activity here have been in the dark.

i did not want to know! partly why — for those of your viewers who know me, i've got too big a mouth! so if i don't know when it's going and where it's going and how it's going, then i cannae let the cat out of the bag! fanfare. last used to crown queen elizabeth, the stone of destiny was removed from westminster abbey in 1950 by four scottish students who wanted to make a statement about scottish independence. newsreel: orders went out for a strict search on roads, | ports and airfields. months later, it was discovered 500 miles away in arbroath abbey. just two hours after the stone was delivered here, _ it was taken away by the police. in the �*90s, with much ceremony, it was returned to scotland, on one condition — that it would be lent to london for coronations. polling suggests there is ambivalence here in scotland towards the forthcoming coronation of the king — in a recent survey,

almost three quarters of those asked didn�*t care about next weekend�*s events. it also suggested that less than half of those questioned think the monarchy should continue. well, what i would say to them — not only about this, and about what�*s going to happen in a week�*s time at the coronation — is sit back and enjoy it. you�*ll never see it again. and it�*s a bit of life that you�*ll never see. everybody�*s entitled to their views but, for me, this is an opportunity. it�*s a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity to see the coronation and to be able to see part of what the united kingdom�*s constitution is about. bagpipes play. the priceless and iconic stone — which to some is a symbol of scottish nationhood — has played a role in centuries of royal tradition. this formal moment marking the beginning of the pomp and ceremony to come.

we are going to look at the weather right now. we are looking across europe at some serious temperatures. that�*s right. good morning. some unseasonably high temperatures. heatwave conditions across spain, portugal, the north—west of africa. morocco, portugaland portugal, the north—west of africa. morocco, portugal and spain have all broken yesterday at their all—time april temperature records. cordoba got up to 38.8 degrees. temperatures like this we would normally expect to see intojuly or even august so it is unusual to see such at conditions. notjust hot, but very dry across the region, as well. the winds have been coming up from the sahara across spain. is the heat on the way to us? things will warm up but the air is coming in from the as always for us, the atlantic, so milder weather on the way but not that one african air from the sahara. this morning a lot of cloud and drizzle outbreaks of rain around so many waking up to scenes like this. as we head through the day

things will tend to brighten up, so some spells of rain this morning, some spells of rain this morning, some drizzle and mist and fog patches around but the sunshine will break holes in that cloud later this afternoon so sunny spells especially towards the south and it will feel that bit warmer than it has done over recent days, as well. here is a satellite image which shows a massive cloud pushing its way slowly eastwards. that is what brought all of the rain over the past 24 hours but this area of low pressure were clear to the east so higher pressure building, not many isobars on the chart. fairly light winds were most. this morning looks fairly grey across the board, rain across parts of northern england, and scotland. more sunshine for northern ireland, through wales into central and southern england, but there are one or two heavy, potentially thundery showers across northern ireland this afternoon. temperatures towards the south and west in the sunny spells around 14 to 18 degrees. across the north of scotland where we have the cloud and drizzle lingering, it will typically still be in single figures. through this evening and

overnight, we keep quite a lot of cloud in general, still a few splashes of rain coming out of that cloud, particularly across parts of scotland. clear skies in the south but we are likely to see, like last night, mist and fog developing. again, murky to start your saturday morning but frost—free, around three to 8 degrees first thing. this is how we kick off the bank holiday weekend. still quite a bit of cloud facing saturday, some splashes of rain, perhaps northern ireland, northern england, a bit grey central scholar with some drizzle but more sunshine for many southern and western areas once again. that could well lift temperatures to 19, possibly 20 degrees in the warmest spot, always a bit cooler further north but you will see one or two showers interrupting that sunshine and some of those showers continuing into sunday. could be heavy, could be potentially thundery and sunday, especially in the north and west. more likely to dodge the showers again on sunday to the far south and east. temperatures up to about 18 degrees in the warmest spot again, typically only six to 10 or the likes of lerwick and stornoway. bank

holiday monday, more of the same. sunny spells and scattered showers around. showers most frequent again across parts of scotland, and a few around parts of eastern england, as well. perhaps those temperatures just down a notch with some of us by the time we get a bank holiday monday but still above average. the next couple of days looking fairly warm, but unsettled, sunshine and showers. dryerand warm, but unsettled, sunshine and showers. dryer and a touch colder again as we head through the course of next week so a bit up and again as we head through the course of next week so a bit up and down. thank you. whenjohn mcfall lost a leg as a teenager in a motobike he will need one of his legs amputated but he vowed not to let it stop him living a full life which is certainly what has happened is that now this is why we have images of space behind us. he has become a trained surgeon, a paralympian athlete and now the european space agency�*s first ever

looking for an astronaut with a physical disability, and i looked at the person specification and i kind of went, "oh, yeah, i�*ve got that... i like — yeah, i like doing that. i�*ve got this degree, yeah. ican do... oh, yeah, that sounds good." and i was like, "wow, this is... this sounds really interesting." there you go. john�*s getting his first taste of space on a parabolic flight, where you experience periods of weightlessness. it works by a plane making an extremely steep climb. it takes a team of three to control the manoeuvre. the plane then arcs to begin its descent — and that�*s where weightlessness kicks in. here we go. ijoinjohn for his — and my — first flight. 0oh! help, help, help, help, help! i�*m spinning! we�*re spinning! i want to come down! 0oh! it is like the ground is moving away from you. it�*s really hard to actually control where you�*re going. as you can see, it�*s hard to master,

but this is the closest that we can get to experience what being an astronaut is like. john, how are you finding it? look at this! i mean, where do you get this? how has this happened?! 0h! and...whoo! it's what we call a microprocessor knee. it uses hydraulics to control it. john uses an extremely high—tech prosthesis. it�*s controlled by an app. the esa project will focus on what needs to be adapted forjohn to go to space. will i wear a prosthesis? and if i wear a prosthesis, will i have to have something that will accommodate variations in volume in my stump? will we have to adapt a spacesuit for a spacewalk? if so, in what way? so all these questions are things we do not have answers for. the parabolic flight is john�*s first chance to see how his prosthesis responds to weightlessness. in normal gravity, if you look here, the knee bends... yes! ..under normal gravity. but when you go into zero—g, you�*ll probably see i�*m floating

around a lot with the leg straight because that gravity isn�*t there. are you sort of starting to predict what your prosthesis is going to do? well, i think at the moment i�*m just predicting that it�*s going to stay out straight. otherwise, i have to keep my good leg hooked over the prosthesis like this to hold it there. but every time — each parabola is a learning opportunity. this isn�*t the first time john�*s pushed himself to the limits. he�*s a former medal—winning paralympian sprinter. i�*m very much following my heart, and i�*m following my curiosity and i�*m following my passion for science and life. this project and this journey will deliver a very strong message of what someone with a physical disability can do. being weightless isn�*t for everyone — but thankfully that�*s not the case with john. still happy with signing up to be a astronaut? absolutely! absolutely, yeah. you haven�*t made a terrible mistake? not at all. i can�*t wait. so, forjohn mcfall, watch this space. rebecca morelle, bbc news.

failings in their investigation. port�*s murders were not linked until after the fourth body was discovered at a graveyard in barking. the latest report also found training was inadequate and record keeping was unacceptable, which led to mistakes. the met say lessons have been learnt. four men have been charged with the murder of a 22 year old, shot dead in south london. tyrese miller was found in croydon road in mitcham in the early hours of april 4th. the men are due to appear at wimbledon magistrates court later. the average rent in london has surpassed £2,500 a month for the first time. property website rightmove says asking prices are high because of the number of people looking to rent and a shortage of properties available across the capital. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather. this morning, any overnight rain will gradually clear away to the east.

staying cloudy for a time but turning increasingly sunny in the afternoon, with the chance of the odd shower developing, maximum temperature, 18 degrees. that�*s it — there�*s all the day�*s stories on the bbc news app or head to our website. we�*re back in half an hour. see you then. bye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today. more strike disruption — head teachers are to hold a ballot while eurovision and the fa cup final could be disrupted by the latest action by the rail unions. the ceasefire in sudan is extended for another three days — efforts continue to get british nationals out of the country. new guidance for grassroots sports — anyone suspected of concussion must be taken off and rested for at least 24 hours. record rents — as payments hit a new high, i�*ll be looking at why, and whether there�*s an end in sight to rising housing costs. good morning. fuelled by anger after their 6—1 thrashing at newcastle, tottenham were fired up as they fought back from two down against

manchester united. good morning. we have cloud, rain and drizzle first thing. the weather will brighten up through the day, and it will be warmer than recent days. all the details in about ten minutes. good morning. it�*s friday, the 28th of april. our main story. head teachers in england will be balloted for strike action, in a move which could see further disruption for schools and parents. the national association of head teachers union last held a strike vote injanuary, which supported taking action but did not reach the required 50% turnout. ministers say the pay deal is fair and reasonable. 0ur reporter frances read has the latest. empty hallways, empty desks, children at home, because the teachers say they aren�*t getting paid what they need. what do we want? fair pay! when do we want it? now! _ yesterday those in the national education union were here instead in what was a fourth day of national strike action.

education is in such a bad place. education cannot continue in this way. now the disruption could get worse. the national association of head teachers says it will formally re—ballot its members in the england under industrial action over pay, funding, workload and well—being. we've only taken industrial action once in our 125 year history. so we go to ballot with a really heavy heart. no head teacher, no teacher, wants to take strike action, for children to miss a day, or more days, education. but we know the government are not listening to the concerns we have about the pay offer, the recruitment and retention of staff, and the fact that 92% of our members find the pay offer unaffordable. in a statement, the department for education said it had made a fair and reasonable offer to the unions, which recognises teachers�* hard work and commitment, and added that next year school funding would be at its highest level in history.

but unions say they are fed up with the continued mistreatment by government for a number of reasons. while there is no mandate for any strike action at the moment, if it does go ahead it is likely parents that will have to cope with that people. frances read, bbc news. meanwhile, there�*ll be more disruption on the railways as workers are to strike next month after the rmt union rejected the latest pay deal from train operators. rmt members will strike on the 13th of may, the day of the eurovision song contest in liverpool. it follows train drivers�* union aslef calling strikes on the 12th and 31st of may, and on the 3rd ofjune, the day of the fa cup final. there should be a decision later today from the gmb union on whether its members have voted to accept the government�*s pay offer. it comes a day after the royal college nursing was forced to suspend part of its planned 48—hour strike.

the rcn decided to strike after rejecting the pay offer. the foreign secretary, james cleverly, has urged all uk nationals wishing to get out of sudan to come forward "as quickly as possible" after both sides in the conflict agreed to extend their ceasefire for another three days. so far nearly 900 british nationals have been flown to safety by the raf. we can now speak to our reporter nick garnett, who�*s at larnaca airport in cyprus, where sudan evacuees have been leaving for the uk. good morning. the hope is there will be more flights as long as there is demand for them as the foreign secretary urges people to come forward if they wish to leave the country? forward if they wish to leave the count ? , ., ., country? right, so we are in the third day of— country? right, so we are in the third day of this _ country? right, so we are in the third day of this evacuation - third day of this evacuation operation. with a 72 hour extension to the ceasefire, that basically means that we can double the amount of flights that will be expected to come here from khartoum over that 72 hours. at the moment last night�*s

the country it that way. the other thing that is important to say is that all these people here are british nationals. they all have british nationals. they all have british passports. there are people who can�*t get out of here because they don�*t have that. we have been hearing stories in the last few days where families have been split up because some have passports and some don�*t. these people behind us are on their way to the uk. hick don't. these people behind us are on their way to the uk.— their way to the uk. nick garnett for us at larnaca _ their way to the uk. nick garnett for us at larnaca in _ their way to the uk. nick garnett for us at larnaca in cyprus. - ukrainian officials say six people have been killed across the country in a wave of russian air strikes early this morning. four people were left dead and 17 more injured in the city of uman, where a residential building partially collapsed. in dnipro, a motherand her three—year—old daughter were killed after their house was hit. metropolitan police officers could be missing murders because the force has failed to learn from mistakes made in the case of serial killer stephen port. his majesty�*s inspectorate of constabulary and fire and rescue services said there had been a "calamitous litany of failures" in the investigation

eight years ago. port is serving a whole life term for the murders of four men and a string of sex attacks. the met said it accepted it had more to do to minimise the chance of a case like port�*s ever happening again. a report examining the appointment of the bbc�*s chairman richard sharp is expected to be published later today. it looks at whether mr sharp properly disclosed details of any involvement in facilitating a £800,000 loan guarantee to the then prime minister borisjohnson. mr sharp has denied any involvement in the arrangement of a loan. the bbc is conducting its own internal review of any potential conflicts of interest. mr sharp�*s... we can speak now to our political correspondent helen catt. good morning. we are told, it is a bit ambiguous, that this report is imminent. do you want to tell people why it matters? it imminent. do you want to tell people why it matters?— why it matters? it matters because the bbc chairman _

why it matters? it matters because the bbc chairman is _ why it matters? it matters because the bbc chairman is appointed - why it matters? it matters because the bbc chairman is appointed by i the bbc chairman is appointed by the government on the recommendation of the prime minister. sir richard sharp, the current chairman, was appointed in february 2021 on the recommendation of borisjohnson. recommendation of boris johnson. this recommendation of borisjohnson. this report is looking at that appointment process, and it is looking at whether mr sharp might have broken public appointment rules, which say you have to declare any potential conflict of interest. the reason that has come about is because it emerged that a few months before mr sharp was appointed, he had been involved in the facilitation of an £800,000 loan guarantee to mrjohnson through a long time friend of mr sharp, also a distant cousin of mrjohnson, who said he wanted to provide this. mr sharp says he has no involvement in the arrangement of a loan for mr johnson. but what he said he did do was talk to the cabinet secretary, simon case, and tell him this person existed and they wanted to provide this financial facility for mr

johnson. a committee of mps, earlier this year, accused mr sharp of serious errors ofjudgment in not discussing —— disclosing that. mr sharp says his involvement ended with that consultation with simon case. he was advised he could avoid a potential conflict—of—interest by taking no further part. we have to wait to see what this report says. any criticism is likely to increase the pressure on mr sharp to stand down and also on the government. because the bbc, as well as the chairman being appointed by the government, the bbc does not have the power to remove the chairman. that is for the government. it is likely if there is more criticism that there will be called from the opposition for the prime minister to intervene. helen, thank you very much. ten minutes past eight. television presenterjames corden has hosted his final episode of the late late show in america. the british entertainer was a household name in the uk from hits like gavin and stacey, but was little—known in the us when he moved there eight years ago, to start presenting the chat show,

this is the picture in somerset. we are starting to see something clearer and brighter moving in from the south—west. more of us will see a bit more sunshine later on. but we are going to keep a fair amount of cloud in northern areas. a bit of drizzle. we have got some drizzle this morning across parts of scotland, northern england as well. this frontal system that has brought the rain is largely clearing away towards the east. higher pressure gradually building in and settling down the weather. still some showers. particularly through parts of central scotland. a fair amount of central scotland. a fair amount of cloud. north—east england. further south into england and wales, sunny spells. some scattered showers for northern ireland. some on the heavy side. it is warmer than it has been of late. temperatures in the warmer spots up to 18, possibly 19 degrees. a touch above average towards the south. in the north of scotland it is cooler. single figures. heading through this evening and overnight, most places predominantly dry. we still have got

some drizzle in the north and north—east, and where we see some clearer skies there will be some mist and fog patches. either way, a murky start to saturday morning. it should be frost free with temperatures first thing around three to 8 degrees. that is how we kick off the bank holiday weekend. mist, low cloud. showers for northern ireland, northern end then in central scotland. through the day, more sunshine breaking through for central and southern england, wales and northern ireland. temperatures in the high teens, possibly 20 degrees. it is going to be a story of some sunny spells and some scattered downpours. if you do catch a shower, it could be heavy, it could be thundery. but they are hit and miss. we were not all see them. it is looking warmer over the next couple them. it is looking warmer over the next couple of them. it is looking warmer over the next couple of days. thank you. there�*s been growing concern about the impact of concussion for people playing sport at grassroots level, and that�*s now being addressed with new guidance for clubs to manage head injuries. it says anyone with suspected concussion should be removed immediately from the pitch to rest

for at least 24 hours, and players with definite symptoms should not return to competitive sport for at least 21 days. 0ur health correspondent jim reed reports. fast, fun, and at times, high impact. this team of under 15s are training hard in west london. your head�*s up here, yeah? that�*s where it�*s going to get, bang. here, players are learning how to tackle as safely as possible, how to protect themselves from a blow which could lead to a head injury. i think everyone kind of worries about getting injured. i think the main one that i kind of worry about is head injuries, which is a big focus of what everyone really is now. everyone knows the risks of going into rugby, and everyone's safe with their tackles and how they conduct themselves, and especially with heads as well. it can ruin someone's career if it's bad. there's different ways of tackling.

at clubs like this, coaches say player safety has been transformed over the last decade. when i was a child, it was very much if you got an injury, it was right, get them off, bandage them up, straight back on again. and i think there was this sort of worry about being able to speak up. the kids, they have a voice now. that means in times of them having something like a concussion, they�*re much more likely to express how they�*re feeling. use it! the runner! until now, it�*s often been left up to individual clubs and sporting bodies to set their own rules when it comes to dealing with head injuries. now, though, new national guidelines have been drawn up to better protect children and adults across the uk. the recommendations, based on earlier scottish guidance, say a player with suspected concussion must be removed immediately. they should be checked by a medic, or nhs111, within 24 hours. if there�*s a red flag symptom, like double vision, they must be assessed urgently, or go to a&e.

have a shot. and crucially, any player with a head injury should not return to competitive sport, like football or rugby, for at least three weeks. and we don't want to put people off enjoying their sport and participating in it, but we do need to recognise that if there's a concussion, we need to raise awareness that that concussion needs you to be actively managed in a similarway to if you've had a hip injury or a knee injury — you wouldn't just carry on playing, you'd come off and you can actively manage it so you don't make it worse. in rare cases, the consequences can be fatal. in 2011, 14—year—old ben robinson from northern ireland collapsed on the rugby pitch after multiple blows to the head. ben�*s death was so preventable. his father told me he welcomed the new guidance, but said the attitude of some in sport still needs to shift. slowly it is changing. like we say, you can have all the protocols in the world, but if the culture of the coach is, "i need my best player up

and playing", it goes out the window. it�*s reallyjust getting everybody the same awareness and the same education. it�*s hoped stronger guidance can now raise standards across all sports, allowing players like these to enjoy the game they love, while better protecting young heads and young minds. jim reed, bbc news. we�*re joined now on the sofa by professor willie stewart, who was involved in drawing up the guidelines, and retired ice hockey player, monica petrosino who has suffered from concussion in the past. good morning to you both. professor, can i check something first of all with you? this is guidance. i mean, in a practical sense, what does that mean? is there a requirement now for

improved our training of officers, that we've improved our approach to this, and that we do everything we can to minimise the chances of ever missing a case. so i am very confident that we have made some improvements, but clearly not enough. four men have been charged with the murder of a 22—year—old shot dead in south london. tyrese miller was found in croydon road in mitcham in the early hours of april 4th. the men are due to appear at wimbledon magistrates court later. from this weekend, passengers will see major changes to some central london bus routes. three are being scrapped entirely. transport for london say it needs to balance the budget after a drop in bus usage in some areas. covid is obviously a factor. also, we�*ve upgraded various railways and underground lines, there�*s been a transfer of traffic. and what we have now on some corridors is much more capacity than there are users. it�*s 100 years since wembley stadium first

opened its doors to the public. over the past century, whether the original stadium or its state—of—the—art replacement, it�*s played host to some of the world�*s most famous sports stars, events and musicians. the first fixture was the fa cup final — which has become a staple of its annual calendar. let�*s take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kat. hello, there, good morning to you. it�*s a mild start to the day with plenty of cloud out there this morning, and a few pockets of mist and fog. and that cloud may be thick enough to produce the odd spot of drizzle but, as the day progresses, it will start to brighten up — particularly through this afternoon — we should get some decent sunny spells. but there�*s a chance of one or two showers, there�*ll be a noticeable breeze around, and it will feel warmer today — we�*re looking at highs of around 19 degrees celsius. now through this evening, any showers will clear — that�*ll leave it mostly dry, with variable amounts of cloud and clear spells, there is a risk of some mist and fog

once again, and not particularly cold — our temperatures will fall away to around seven or eight degrees celsius. now through saturday, there�*ll be some sunshine around, but still quite a lot of cloud at times, but there is a chance of a few showers. some of these showers could fall heavy, and we may hear the odd rumble of thunder. but notice our temperatures on saturday — potentially up to around 21 degrees celsius, and it does look to stay mild also on sunday, with the best of the sunshine towards the end of the afternoon. we�*ll start off on a showery note on monday, but there�*ll be plenty of sunshine through the rest of the day. that�*s it — there�*s all the day�*s stories on the bbc news app, or head to our website. we�*re back in half an hour — see you then, bye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we are going to talk about rental costs at the moment. a real worry for people. we talked about it earlier. we have

had a huge response and lots of questions that we will run through in a second. many tenants are facing rent hikes of hundreds of pounds a month on top of rising food and energy bills that have gone up. and for others, it�*s a question of whether they can find a suitable property in their price range at all. £1,190 a month is now the average asking price for rent outside of london — a new record high. meanwhile, in the capital average rent is hitting more than £2,500 for the first time. prices are not going up quite as fast as they were, but the property website rightmove says it�*s a case of supply and demand. there are far too many people competing for fewer properties, and research for the bbc shows the number of homes available to rent in the uk has fallen by a third over the past 18 months. people have also had increases in property values. so when properties have come empty, where they might traditionally try to secure a new tenant, they've now realised

that the property's increased in value, so they've now look to sell. and they're really the factors that are contributing to landlords exiting the market. it creates a bit of a vicious cycle, really, because it does have knock—on effects to tenants and rents with the shortage of supply. well, harry kind is with me now from the consumer magazine which. from the consumer magazine which? good morning. we have had a massive response. i will run through some of the things people have been saying. we had a comet from a single mum who said she has been informed her rent is to be increased. the landlord said to her that he could ask for even more. the bathroom and kitchen i dated, bids in bad repair. should she say some thing the landlord or risk another rent rise? she she say some thing the landlord or risk another rent rise?— risk another rent rise? she is in a situation where _ risk another rent rise? she is in a situation where she _ risk another rent rise? she is in a situation where she doesn't -

risk another rent rise? she is in a situation where she doesn't have | risk another rent rise? she is in a l situation where she doesn't have a situation where she doesn�*t have a lot of power. renters have rights. you have a right to not be evicted at a moment�*s notice, a right to negotiate, a right to privacy. but you don�*t have power because essentially an landlord can get someone else just like that. it is a really bad market for renters at the moment. in her case it is time for negotiation. because it is difficult to go through the process of having a new tenant, you never know whether they are going to be a bad one or a good one as a landlord and so she has that power. it is worth negotiating. but ultimately she will probably have to accept a higher rent. ~ . ., , .,, probably have to accept a higher rent. ~ . ., , ~ probably have to accept a higher rent. ~ . ., , ,, , rent. we have had people like grace in leicester. — rent. we have had people like grace in leicester, jane _ rent. we have had people like grace in leicester, jane in _ rent. we have had people like grace in leicester, jane in kent, _ rent. we have had people like grace in leicester, jane in kent, given - in leicester, jane in kent, given notice, struggling to find any place thatis notice, struggling to find any place that is affordable. people with pets saying they are finding it particularly hard. questions about no—fault evictions. what are your rights from that perspective? they are different around the uk. it is rights from that perspective? they are different around the uk.- are different around the uk. it is a really complicated _ are different around the uk. it is a really complicated retail _ are different around the uk. it is a really complicated retail sector i are different around the uk. it is a really complicated retail sector for renters. basically we are talking

mainly about assured short hold tenancy is, people who have an agreement often on paper but it doesn�*t have to be. with a private landlord. the private rental sector is about one in five of us, so a lot of people. in northern ireland, scotland, wales, england, different reels in different places and you have the most rights in scotland and wales. when it comes to no—fault evictions, that is where the real difference kicks in. that is a section 21 in england, it is the power that the landlord has to evict you for any reason that they want. they have to go through the proper legal process for that. that is two months�* notice, going through the right forms, allowing you to go through court before you are evicted. in wales it is longer, six months, and in scotland you don�*t have that power at all. they are planning to reform this into government. the government have promised that they will remove no—fault evictions but they promised

that a while ago. i no-fault evictions but they promised that a while ago.— that a while ago. i was going to sa , that a while ago. i was going to say. definitely _ that a while ago. i was going to say, definitely had _ that a while ago. i was going to say, definitely had that - that a while ago. i was going to say, definitely had that before. | that a while ago. i was going to - say, definitely had that before. any hope of it happening anytime soon? no sign in the immediate future but it has been promised, as well as the right to have a pet in a rented accommodation. and so when that reform comes in then you will be in a position of having more power but, as it stands, you really don�*t have as it stands, you really don�*t have a huge amount you can do. what i will say isjust take a huge amount you can do. what i will say is just take your time, you will say is just take your time, you will not be kicked out onto the streetjust will not be kicked out onto the street just like that. will not be kicked out onto the streetjust like that. we will not be kicked out onto the street just like that.— streetjust like that. we had a messaue streetjust like that. we had a message from _ streetjust like that. we had a message from heather, - streetjust like that. we had a message from heather, who i streetjust like that. we had a - message from heather, who works full time with people affected by the housing crisis. now it is affecting her, as well. she is 54, lives in north london in a shared house but her landlord is selling, she has been told he needs to move out. she says it is the first time in her life that she has gone to the council for help. what help is out there for people? it council for help. what help is out there for people?— council for help. what help is out there for people? it used to be at renters where _ there for people? it used to be at renters where younger _ there for people? it used to be at renters where younger and - there for people? it used to be at renters where younger and is - there for people? it used to be atj renters where younger and is now more and more people over 60 are affected by the private rented sector so the help that you need is most likely to be coming from your council housing officer, going to

them if your landlord is breaking them if your landlord is breaking the law, if they are acting without a licence for a house of multiple occupancy, that is really important that you check with the council on that. they can give you support, potentially in the long run social housing, but there is a shortage of that, as well! 0therwise, housing, but there is a shortage of that, as well! otherwise, you should be going to your local renters union if you are at risk of eviction they may go to help you. acorn may give you support. shelter, a fantastic charity across uk, help from them. step change, national debt line, citizens advice. if you�*re struggling with debt they can make sure you have that breathing space to be able to pay your rent as maybe have a bit of a pause in your rent payments if you are really struggling. payments if you are really struggling-— payments if you are really struggling. payments if you are really stru~lin~. . , ., . struggling. harry kind from which? . thank ou struggling. harry kind from which? . thank you very _ struggling. harry kind from which? . thank you very much. _ struggling. harry kind from which? . thank you very much. it _ struggling. harry kind from which? . thank you very much. it is _ struggling. harry kind from which? . thank you very much. it is where - thank you very much. it is where saying we had comments in front landlord, some of them saying they haven�*t necessarily passed on the rises that they have seen. they get a lot of stick but this is clearly a

exactly known for their pas de deux, with ozzy osbourne famous for biting bats, not ballet. but the all—time dance great carlos acosta — who�*s now based in brum — had an idea. one of the things that i wanted to do when ijoined birmingham royal ballet is to bring awareness of the treasure that this city had given to the world, and black sabbath is a perfect fit. # can you help me occupy my brain? it is a subject that opens curiosity, because we come from the ballet world and then the heavy—metal world — what�*s going to be the negotiation? what will be the product at the end? and that excites me. how easy is their music to dance to? there�*s a lot of melodic feel to black sabbath. there is a lot there to choose from, there are subjects or a kind of feel for dance. # has he lost his mind? # can he see or is he blind?

the ballet, which will premiere in september, is described as a metal symphony over three acts. and, crucially, carlos persuaded sabbath�*s guitarist, tony iommi, to give the show his blessing. black sabbath — the ballet. why?! he laughs. why not?! how much did you know about ballet beforehand? not a dot. no, ididn't... i've never been to a ballet. a section will tell black sabbath�*s story, and how they became one of the biggest bands of all time. there will even be a dance interpretation of the fateful day when a 17—year—old tony iommi lost the tops of two fingers in an industrial accident in a sheet—metal factory. they asked you to tell them the story, so they get it right. i thought you were going to say, have they asked me to dance? he laughs.
