6:12 am
heavy rain in northern ireland, western scotland, north—west england, wales. that will push northwards in the afternoon and we could see brightness developing and that could set of some thundery and heavy showers. anywhere pretty much from the humber down towards east anglia and the south—east seemed the best of the dry and sunny weather. we could be up to 18, 19 degrees. elsewhere, closer to the low to mid—teens. again, winds will be lightened if you catch the showers they will be slow moving. as we head into this evening and overnight looks like rain get into the eastern side of england. clear spells, variable cloud and a few of drizzle and the cloud cover will give lowe's and the cloud cover will give lowe's a six to 10 degrees. bank holiday monday, reverse fortunes and will start with the showers and cloud across more eastern parts of england and some of these could be heavy. sunny spell developing through the afternoon and a brighter day across scotland but again, she was pretty much developing anywhere they could
6:13 am
be heavy and slow moving because the winds will be lighter. this area of high pressure starts to building as we move into tuesday. it could be quite fine and settled tuesday, wednesday and perhaps thursday as well. large amounts of cloud, mist and murk from the weekend showers but it looks largely dry. the developer shower into the afternoon but because high pressure is building over it should stay mostly dry. temperatures low to mid—teens, maybe not quite as warm as what we expect for today and light yesterday. but it does change as we move towards the end of the week into the weekend. there is a?, it does look like low pressure will want to speak from the south—west that will bring showers on longer spells of rain. it starts off nice for the early part of the week and then the cloud tends to build and we could see increasing amounts of showers. temperatures remain a little above the seasonal norm, so at least it will not feel on the
6:14 am
chilly side. but the unsettled theme is likely to develop further by the end of the week. more details later. some drivers will now legally be able to take their hands of the wheels on motorways, that is after revolutionary technology was approved for use in the uk. it is currently only available for drivers of a certain model of ford which control steering, acceleration and braking. katie austin has been to see how it works. up to see how it works. up for a drive with a difference. i am with tom, who is a car technology expert. we are going at 70 miles an hour on the m4 motorway and tom is about to turn on the mode which means he can take its hands of the wheel. i means he can take its hands of the wheel. w ., means he can take its hands of the wheel. .. ., _ , wheel. i will activate the system now by pressing _ wheel. i will activate the system now by pressing this _ wheel. i will activate the system now by pressing this button - wheel. i will activate the system now by pressing this button on l wheel. i will activate the system l now by pressing this button on the steering wheel. take my hands of the wheel. in steering wheel. take my hands of the wheel. , u, ., steering wheel. take my hands of the wheel. , u, ., , wheel. in this car, that is perfectly _ wheel. in this car, that is perfectly legal _ wheel. in this car, that is perfectly legal but - wheel. in this car, that is perfectly legal but the i wheel. in this car, that is - perfectly legal but the drivers eyes

6:28 am
fulham and manchester city, huge match as well as manchester united and aston villa. the premier league is hotting up. i was at a ligue one match yesterday, getting towards the business end of that season. interesting times and it will be crammed towards the back end because of the world cup and a backlog of fixtures. five or six games probably to go for a lot of the premier league teams. this is an opportunity of manchester city to leapfrog arsenal? yes, with the game in hand. this is the point where you think the tables were turned. arsenal are still top but with two more games. they lost midweek to manchester city which was a bit of destruction to their hopes. the manner of that defeat as well, it didn't really look too good for them. i think manchester city have found their groove, champions league semifinals for them, on for the
6:29 am
treble. looking forward for them and they are hitting top gear at the right time. they have had an incredible run, haven't they? you think, can anyone stop them with the treble. the team that they've got on the way they play, it is wonderful to see as a neutral. they make it look like a piece of cake. absolutely right. thank you, see you a bit later on. just coming up to 6.30. time for the travel show. through departures with a guide dog. this is the moment of truth. all good, aeroplane. plus, life as a
6:30 am
laird. why it has been boomtime for scottish castles. mr; laird. why it has been boomtime for scottish castles.— scottish castles. my great grandfather _ scottish castles. my great grandfather built - scottish castles. my great grandfather built this i scottish castles. my great i grandfather built this house for entertainment. around the world, technology has become integrated into our lives and no more so than in travel. we've got smart check—ins forflights, facial recognition, passport control, and even translation apps to help you read menus. a lot of this is designed to make our lives easier, but this technology also creates something even more valuable — data. the holy grail for tourist
6:31 am
chiefs is knowing exactly what visitors think about their attractions — something a bit more sophisticated than a simple 0&a sample survey. well, this city thinks it's cracked that because earlier this year, malaga introduced a new kind of technology which gives them a clearer idea of what people are doing and feeling. malaga in spain is one of the top tourist sites in europe, with wonderful beaches, fantastic food, and over 1t0 museums. it attracts travellers from across the continent. sunday morning, and these narrow streets are absolutely crammed with tourists from all around the world. malaga is definitely a hot destination. malaga had a strong resurgence after the pandemic, with large numbers of people heading to its beaches. to ensure that they stayed safe and didn't become overcrowded, the city introduced some technology to count how many people were around, by using a network of cameras
6:32 am
across the city. we were very good at analysing prior to pandemic what's happening in the city, but we wanted to move forward to emotions. we wanted to know, is it possible to know the emotions of the people, once in the city? is it possible to know their feelings? to do this, they introduced the new image recognition technology, which can capture people's faces, analyse the results in real time, and, they claim, work out how people are feeling. they can then address why some experiences aren't as good as others. the company behind the technology is goli neuromarketing. we have an intelligent, artificial brain that transform at real time the image of a camera to data. inside, they set up a demonstration of how the technology works.
6:33 am
you're now going to give me some ideas, images, and i'm going to react. sagrada familia. that reminds me of barcelona, which is a lovely city. look at that. happiness rocks straight up, but that's because i'm smiling, maybe. but very high on the happiness scale for sagrada familia. 0k. a cup of coffee! yeah, yeah. that actually beats the sagrada familia! they laugh. so i'd rather have a cup of coffee right now, than see the sagrada familia — it causes me more happiness. i'm sure that's not true. their toolkit currently identifies the age of visitors and can tell which country people's phones come from, which allows them then to build up a picture of which nationalities are visiting the city. of course, i totally get why tourist chiefs want to know more about how visitors feel about their destination. and, as a tourist, of course i want a better experience. the question is, how far should that go? how would you feel if you knew
6:34 am
that there were cameras watching you right now to see how happy you are as a tourist? i think i would feel exactly the same i am feeling now. ok, because there are two cameras there doing that very thing. 0k. you don't think that's an invasion of your privacy? no, no. i think it's good for the security. i feel angry about it. i don't like being watched all the time. erm, it's not comfortable. what are they doing with that data? with that information? although people's opinions on being observed are split, what is clear is that they're unaware of the technology being used. and this does raise some privacy issues, which i put to the head of tourism. there are safety and security cameras everywhere in the world. safety and security, i understand. i don't want to be mugged or attacked. that's fine, so i accept that. but giving you information, which i don't know where that information goes, without me knowing, some people might say, "hmm, i'm not sure about that". this is something that is happening for a long time in the retail malls,
6:35 am
for example — in some luxury brands we all know, they have in the mirrors, they have inside these emotional sensors already for a long time. i think it's something that in the future, many more cities will have because it's super valuable information. both the city and the technology companies say that all the data is anonymous, and no images are recorded, in order to protect individual identities. malaga is wholeheartedly embracing this technology, which they say will boost their appeal as a tourist destination. and so far, the software highlights two spots that people seem to love in malaga the most. top score in terms of happiness goes to the viewpoint overlooking the city, where smiles are just off the chart. but it's the park opposite the roman amphitheatre at dusk, where people's faces apparently say they just don't
6:36 am
want to leave. and if you're planning a trip to malaga in the near future, here are some of the things we think you ought to know. in a city with so much rich history, the moorish alcazaba palace fortress is worth a look. it was first built in the 11th century, and its passageways and gardens show off a mix of roman, arab and renaissance styles. there's not much information on offer, so if you're a history lover, it might be worth paying extra for the tour. there are roughly 14km of beach in the city, well served by public transport, and with good facilities. many have their own distinct character. malagueta and san andres, for example, are pretty lively. but our tip is el palo, said to be more popular with locals than tourists,
6:37 am
which has fine sand, shallow waters and plenty of shade. and, while you're on the beach, how about sardines for lunch? espetos, orsardine skewers, are incredibly popular with locals. they're usually dirt cheap and super fresh, thanks to the city's port and daily fish market. a little tip — those who know claim the sardines are best eaten in the months that don't have an r in the name. right, well, there's still lots more to come up on the show, including... on �*oliday with olga — how a guide dog gets on board. where are you travelling to today, madam? we're travelling to edinburgh. and, the low key pleasures of life in a scottish castle. gong clangs. dinner is served!
6:38 am
right, we're dipping into our archives next. airports can be confusing places at the best of times, but how would you navigate your way onto a plane without your sense of sight? well, in the uk in 2021, guide dogs for the blind celebrated its 90th anniversary. so we thought it an excellent time to ask blind traveller lucy edwards exactly how it's done. before the age of 17, i had usable vision. i would go out and about without a guide dog, without a cane, feeling quite free. where are you travelling to today, madam? we're travelling to edinburgh. i didn't really have many concerns about where i was going, or... i didn't feel anxious at all. and what brought about my anxiety was feeling disabled by the world. i had a huge knock in confidence. i didn't want to leave
6:39 am
the house, let alone leave the country. and i think that's why only now, seven years down the line, i am tackling plane journeys because i feel ok enough to want to go to other places. it's honestly so mentally draining. after going to a new place as a blind person, when you've never been there before, and i think that's why, when i'm in an airport situation, i have to just say, "oh, could you please help me?" you're in what looks like a - shopping centre at the moment. so you've got lots of people around. it feels really busy, yeah. it's really important to not feel overwhelmed in airport situations. with a guide dog, you have to rely on your partnership together to get around, and you have to admit to yourself as a blind person, "yeah, i'm not going to know everywhere that i am today." initially, when you're doing something like that, it's daunting. can we squeeze through, guys? yeah, sure _ thank you.
6:40 am
yeah, that was just too busyj for her to get you through... and then you can i carry on from there. i could feel that she didn't know where she was going... yeah. ..through the harness. that got very congested. that's when i get most anxious — when it's that crowded. i think from my point of view as well, because we're learning and i'm with you, i think that takes quite a lot of the stress, to try and navigate those areas that we have just navigated. yeah, yeah. but it's. .. l ah, she's rolling around on her back with her legs in the air! i i think the main challenge will be getting up the steps and the loud noises of the aircraft. because i'm doing it with michaela for the first time, you know, hopefully that will make both of us less anxious. here's olga's aeroplane bag, ready for the flight. everything's in here. collapsible dog bowl, blanket, a bone to make her feel chilled out. and quite an important thing — her restraining harness. she can't actually use her guide dog official harness on the plane to restrain her because this
6:41 am
bit of her seat belt needs to click into the aeroplane belts so she's safe. this is the moment of truth. olga's first aeroplane experience. a bit nervous. we've got to get her restraining harness on so she's secure and fastened to the plane. we don't know how it's going to be, her walking up the steps, but it should be good. exciting stuff. she's looking very- chilled at the moment. is she? things are looking good. yeah, things are looking good. i'm so relieved that she's ok, and she's just been chewing the bone the whole flight. that's why i was able to have a bit of breakfast because i thought, she's fine. sigh of relief. we're all good. guide dog ok, human ok.
6:42 am
now, when i think of going on holiday as a non—sighted person, i think that i would love to explore the culture, the wine, the cheese, the food, the different languages, the smells, the touch. just a whole sensory experience, really. today has been a real eye opener, if you'll pardon the pun. i have really enjoyed myself. i think the assistance was amazing, and now i know that olga isn't going to be anxious on a plane and she loves it, and she can chew her bone, i am going to go on a lot more planejourneys, and ijust feel so much more happy to embark on a journey, and ifeel liberated. thank you, bye! see you, bye! all right? you've got a little step down there. | 0k, got you. and then you're just come coming off that grid... i good!
6:43 am
finally this week, with the coronation coming up in the uk very soon, we thought this a perfect occasion to talk castles. did you know that since covid, estate agents have seen a boom in people interested in buying an ancient scottish pile? well, we sent william lee adams to investigate. william: there are more than 2,000 castles still standing in scotland. from ancient ruins to modern—day fixer—uppers. according to the estate agents savills, it's the most searched for term on their website. since the start of the pandemic, interest has soared in country living as people flee cities and try to escape the crowds. that search for space and fresh air is a reality here in scotland, where you can have your very own castle if you've got the money for it.
6:44 am
this is baltersan castle, a 16th—century tower home, 50 miles southwest of glasgow. it's safe to say it's in need of some serious restoration. james bought it in 1992 with great hopes to restore it back to its former glory. but finding the right investor has been hard. now, this...the stairwell — very wide for the period. it all speaks of good design and speaks of wealth. you would ascend these stairs. you wouldn't climb — you would ascend. james, what was your vision when you purchased the castle? oh, i could see it. that's the... that's the problem. it's a burden if you have vision. because i could see the walls, the painted decoration, the tapestries. it's the old story of a boyhood dream. some people want train sets. i wanted a castle at the age of five. so, this brings us into the kitchen area, the wine cellar,
6:45 am
the storage for meat, and this wonderful arch here is a very common feature. and that fire that would have been in there for the cooking was kept on all the time because stone is like a storage heater. there's a 16th—century mill. there's an 18th—century croft house down here. there's the 16th—century tower and a 13th—century abbey. they should be linked as a linear tourist destination. i can tell this place it brings you a lot ofjoy. you light up when you talk about it. but on some level, do you ever regret having purchased it? never. no, absolutely never. it's magic. it's the sense of place thatjust an ordinary ruined building doesn't have. there's a spirit in this place. i don't care if i don't restore it, but it should be restored by somebody — the next custodian, not owner. on face value, owning a castle
6:46 am
could cost less than a studio apartment in london. cameron's been in the business of selling grand country homes for the past 15 years. well, if you take the example of the one behind me here, there's obviously a lot of work to do. this is a property on the buildings at risk register. it's category a listed, so there will be restrictions in what you can and can't do. materials that you've got to use. so there are limitations and considerations that also have significant cost implications. do people have any misconceptions when they start their search for a castle? yes, yeah. the first thing to highlight is they don't all come with a title. many people assume that you become lord of the manor, but it's sometimes not the case. but what happens if your family already has the castle? how do you keep it from becoming a financial drain? nice to meet you. so lovely to meet you. welcome! nice to meet you. this is quite the welcome! hello! all: hello! ali's family has lived on these
6:47 am
grounds since the 1500s... ..though his great—grandfather built this place at the turn of the 20th century, moving the family out of the now ruined castle. the couple met in vietnam and lived in the us before moving back to ali's ancestral home eight years ago. what was the state of the place when you first saw it? it was winter when i first arrived and saw the place for the very first time. the blinds were drawn. there were so many dust sheets on tables and furniture. everything was really dark. had a bit of a morgue feel to it, to be honest. laughs so, this room is particularly personal to me because it is very much based on my idea of victoriana meets east asian. the estate had mostly welcomed hunting parties. anne wanted to move away
6:48 am
from that tradition and focus on other types of gatherings, like weddings, though it needed a major revamp. we have done about 48 bedrooms, 15 kitchens... i am not a designer. i don't know anything about interior design and i had to learn very quickly and i made a lot of mistakes. i think that itself is overwhelming, but it is also like running a business and recruiting, and raising really young children. i mean, there were moments in our lives between ali and i where we were on the brink of divorce, i know for sure. and that's my great—grandmother there. that's my great—grandfather up there. he was the guy that built this place. a lot of people dream of owning a castle and they don't think through the reality. do you have any advice for potential buyers? if you are thinking
6:49 am
about doing anything like this and your first motivation is profitability... ..it is not going to work. i love my husband and this is me, you know, helping to fulfil his dream. and ali, it was so... it was significantly easierfor him to be motivated to do this project because it is his ancestral home. they get a lot of guests from abroad, including from the us, and they all want that castle experience. cheering and laughing it's fair to say everything is over the top, but the american in me loves it. # just keep it to ourselves... oh, there we go. 0k... muffled speech great view of the castle here on my back. i think it's game overfor me. dinner soon comes around,
6:50 am
but before we sit down, anne says she has a little surprise. what? what is this?! this is for you to pick out your outfit for dinner. ok. this was obviously for me. the fairies in southwest scotland are workin' tonight! i think you should... oh, my god. that is so you. gong clangs part of the experience involves an outrageous dinner party with the guests. dinner is served! what would your ancestors think about what's going on tonight? i think they liked fun nights. well, you know, my great—grandfather built this house for entertaining. but i'm curious — when anne married you and moved here and suggested these changes, how did that sit with you? actually, it was fine, and i wouldn't have done it without her. so it was good to have
6:51 am
that breath of fresh air. owning and running a castle as a tourist attraction is not for the faint—hearted. but if you can make it work, it's not a bad life. bagpipes skirl well, that, sadly, is all for this week. but, coming up next time... ..we're reliving some of our favourite trips to greece, from the time ade followed in the footsteps of hercules by taking a dip in some legendary open—air baths... goddess athena created these springs for her favourite hero. i think it's quite fitting for someone like me. ..to when christa joined the crew of a replica ancient greek galley to get a taste of life at sea 2,500 years ago.
6:52 am
until then, you can find us on the bbc iplayer, and on social media too. we're in all the usual places, along with lots of other great travel content from around the bbc. but for now, from me, rajan datar, and the rest of the travel show team here in malaga, thanks for watching and goodbye. this is breakfast. a very good morning. eight minutes to seven. carrying a weight on your shoulders, that's often how people describe

what it's like to struggle with mental health. a former soldier from staffordshire has taken that metaphor quite literally. michael copeland is attempting to complete the three peaks challenge with a fridge strapped to his back. we have met him before, but this charity hike involves the highest mountains in scotland, england and wales in 2a hours. laura has been to meet him. the panoramic beauty of the peak district where anything goes. michael copeland is a man on a mission, climbing mountains with a fridge on his back.— fridge on his back. that's a strange backack fridge on his back. that's a strange backpack you've — fridge on his back. that's a strange backpack you've got _ fridge on his back. that's a strange backpack you've got there! - fridge on his back. that's a strange backpack you've got there! i - fridge on his back. that's a strange backpack you've got there! i do i fridge on his back. that's a strangej backpack you've got there! i do get some funny — backpack you've got there! i do get some funny strange _ backpack you've got there! i do get some funny strange reactions. i backpack you've got there! i do get some funny strange reactions. a i backpack you've got there! i do get| some funny strange reactions. a lot of people _ some funny strange reactions. a lot of people think i'm a bit crazy. he has of people think i'm a bit crazy. has heard it of people think i'm a bit crazy. h2 has heard it all before and welcomes the banter. it means he can share the banter. it means he can share the real reason for carrying the fridge. the real reason for carrying the

nurses will go on strike amid warnings that care is at risk. thousands of nurses will walk out from a pm tonight until midnight on monday. services including intensive care and emergency departments will be affected for the first time. industrial action was voted for this month after members of the royal couege month after members of the royal college of nursing rejected the government offer of a 5% pay rise. a worrying time for hospital trusts. we can talk to the chief executive of east suffolk and north essex nhs foundation trust. how are you feeling ahead of this action? good mornin: , feeling ahead of this action? good morning, clearly _ feeling ahead of this action? good morning, clearly we _ feeling ahead of this action? good morning, clearly we are _ feeling ahead of this action?

services are as safe as they can be. we have put additional staff and right across the hospital and a cross community services to support those areas, particularly a&e and paediatric but there will be significant disruption to patients over the next 36 hours but we have put as much mitigation and as we possibly can. there will be increased risk to patient, there is no doubt. fist increased risk to patient, there is no doubt. �* . increased risk to patient, there is no doubt. . , ., increased risk to patient, there is no doubt. �* . ., ., no doubt. at this moment in time, do ou feel no doubt. at this moment in time, do you feel there — no doubt. at this moment in time, do you feel there is _ no doubt. at this moment in time, do you feel there is more _ no doubt. at this moment in time, do you feel there is more of— no doubt. at this moment in time, do you feel there is more of a _ no doubt. at this moment in time, do you feel there is more of a threat - you feel there is more of a threat to life than there has been compared to life than there has been compared to other strikes? i to life than there has been compared to other strikes?— to other strikes? i think the risks are certainly _ to other strikes? i think the risks are certainly there, _ to other strikes? i think the risks are certainly there, what - to other strikes? i think the risks are certainly there, what we - to other strikes? i think the risks| are certainly there, what we have not had whenjunior are certainly there, what we have not had when junior doctors were on strike, we had consultants who were able to go to the clinical spaces to provide care. if you look at the specialist nurses, incredibly skilled nurses who work in icu,
7:35 am
there is no pool we can draw on clinically appropriate staff so icus probably my biggest concern. we have had support from the rcn where they have allowed exemptions but only to minimal staffing levels so that staffing levels we saw when the first surge of covid so i am concerned. i am sure we will provide safe services but there will be significant disruption and of course we have had to cancel a lot of our complex elective cases as well as routine cases. complex cases would have to go into icu for recovery and we started cancelling them in the middle of last week. so disruption is notjust two days but what happened before and what will happen subsequently. happened before and what will happen subsequently-— subsequently. there will be people watchin: subsequently. there will be people watching you _ subsequently. there will be people watching you have _ subsequently. there will be people watching you have relatives - subsequently. there will be people watching you have relatives in - watching you have relatives in intensive care and thinking, if this

happening behind closed doors but it looks like both parties have backed themselves into a corner at the moment, not prepared to compromise. all negotiations require compromise so my plea would be to find compromise and do quickly because we cannot continue this disruption, the massive impact on our waiting list. it needs to be equitable, affordable and we need the treasury to find additional money which will not come out of our district budgets and it needs to feel fair, staff involved needs to feel fair, staff involved need to feel their personal decisions they have had to make are warranted in terms of the outcome that suits them to also make sure we get back to more stability in the nhs so we can deal with a massive backlog as we have now got because of covid. . , , ~ . backlog as we have now got because of covid. . , , ~ �* ., .,, of covid. finally, the gmb union has acce ted of covid. finally, the gmb union has accepted the — of covid. finally, the gmb union has accepted the government _ of covid. finally, the gmb union has accepted the government pay - of covid. finally, the gmb union has accepted the government pay offer, | accepted the government pay offer, do you sense that more deals are

with mental health. well a former soldier from staffordshire has taken that metaphor literally. michael copeland is attempting to complete the three peaks challenge — with a fridge strapped to his back. the charity hike involves climbing the highest mountains in scotland, england and wales, all in 24 hours. laura may mcmullan has been to meet him. the panoramic beauty of the peak district where it seems anything go. michael copeland is a man on a mission, climbing mountains with a fridge on his back. that mission, climbing mountains with a fridge on his back.— fridge on his back. that is a stranue fridge on his back. that is a strange backpack _ fridge on his back. that is a strange backpack you - fridge on his back. that is a strange backpack you have | fridge on his back. that is a i strange backpack you have got fridge on his back. that is a - strange backpack you have got there. i strange backpack you have got there. i -et strange backpack you have got there. i get some _ strange backpack you have got there. i get some strange reactions. a lot of people look at me and think i am crazy. he of people look at me and think i am cra . . . of people look at me and think i am ci’a , ., , ., of people look at me and think i am cra . . , ., ., , ., he has heard it all before and welcomes the banter. it means he can share the real
7:53 am
reason for carrying the fridge. it's essentially a visual representation of mental health, and the weight and the burden. i think it's pretty impressive. we struggle just walking up on our own! a strange thing to see on top of a mountain, a man with a fridge. i think it's important because a lot of men will not talk about mental health. michael wants to encourage others to open up about their mental health. he struggled with civilian life after leaving the army. last year he challenged himself to climb mount snowdon. this weekend he is doing the national three peaks challenge in 24 hours to fund raise for the charity mind. it's pretty hard to actually train to carry a fridge up the mountain without actually taking a fridge up a mountain. it's beyond what a lot of people try to do. he is doing the right thing for a good cause. and he got the heart and the energy to do it. michael uses the gym as what he calls his positive outlet, another place
7:54 am
he can raise awareness. according to the charity mind, one in four people in the uk will experience a mental health problem each year. more than 20 million adults never talk about their state of mind. more recently, a survey showed 78% said the cost of living crisis was impacting their mental health. i just carried that's how long, five minutes? if you carry that weight for all your life, i don't know how you can do it. so for this reason, what michael does is absolutely incredible. i believe that finding your own positive outlet will help channel your negativity in life, and that's why i do what i do. he says he is determined to step up to the challenge, climbing mountains for mental health.

care and flow to the hospital can't be underestimated. our nurses are critical members of staff and perform critical tasks that nobody else can do. later this week the main hill fog care unions will decide on what the next steps are in this long—running series of industrial disputes. some union members have accepted the pay offer, others have rejected it. it is not yet clear what that will mean for future strikes. dominic hughes, bbc news. the fire knows uk evacuation flight from sedan... the final uk evacuation flight from sudan departed from an airfield near khartoum last night. around 1,900 people have been bought to safety since the operation began on tuesday. it comes as fighting between the army and paramilitaries intensifies. we can speak now to our diplomatic correspondent paul adams. paul — do we know whether everyone who wanted to get out was able to? the government says that one of the reasons why it ended that operation

8:15 am
pressure, a the front bringing the rain this morning. you will notice we are into the milder air mass, filling warmer than it has done over the few weeks. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far for england, wales and northern ireland. starting off with all this rain pushing northwards, becoming confined to scotland, bit of brightness elsewhere, heavy thundery showers, we will see the best of the dry and sunny weather thought might up dry and sunny weather thought might up to 18—19. generally the mid—teens for many. still quite cold across the very far north of scotland into the very far north of scotland into the northern isles. stays wet here into the evening and overnight, showers across western parts will tend to push their way eastwards. we could see some reigning the south east overnight. some spells, mist and murk, temperatures of 8—9. tomorrow morning starting drier than
8:16 am
this morning, one or two showers dotted around eastern england to begin with, as the sunshine appears could set off scattered showers, some will be heavy, not quite as widespread or heavy is what we have seen yesterday and would expect this afternoon. temperature 17—18 in the south, colderfor the northern half of scotland. the weaker area of high pressure six to building across the country from tuesday onwards. tuesday, wednesday looks like it will bring some drier weather. lower pressure will be trying to nudge on. the area of high pressure is going to be quite weak, could see fairweather cold bubbling up into the afternoon. i think some places should stay dry, slim chance of a shower. more cloud around, temperatures not quite as high, mid—teens, around the average for this time of year. wednesday not too bad but then we are looking at the area of the pressure which can start to wind itself up and pushed northwards into the end of the week and perhaps into the following weekend. the need to stay tuned to
8:17 am
the weather for the details. at the moment, looks like mid week will stay dry with some sunshine, increasing chance of showers and longer spells of rain as we push into next weekend. temperature wise, coming up from the south, staying on the warmish side, that's all i can give you right now, ben and nina. we will let you off without the sunny symbols for the moment. 8:17am. when we think of primary school lessons, basic maths and english probably come to mind — but one of the most popular subjects in today's classroom is coding. it's a skill in huge demand and an important part of the curriculum. our reporter crispin rolfe has been to one primary school in hull, to find out more. it's not as challenging as you would think doing coding at school, because the children really, really love getting on the computers.
8:18 am
coding, or computer programming to you and me... pretty much everything these days has got some element of coding and a microchip in it somewhere. even if you didn't know it, from your central heating system to your air fryer. nowadays it's a building block of modern day life. which is why children are starting to learn about it from the age of five. learning coding, i think it's important to learn it because it's... it's how you tell stuff what to do. so, for those who have never tinkered with a zx spectrum, what is coding? on a computer you can do all sorts of things. play games, do homework or talk to friends. all these things are done using computer programmes. but what are programmes made from? computer programmes are made out of their own special language called code.
8:19 am
and to learn that language, this is what pupils at woodland primary school in hull have been doing. the children are trying to get this rocket to different planets across the screen. to do that, they have to give the rocket different instructions. they are creating a very simple algorithm. so from this point they would see that the rocket is facing in the wrong direction, it's not got to the planet. so they would need to look through their algorithm and see what instruction they've put in wrong in order to make the instructions correct. so, how have the children been getting on? shall we test our algorithm? go back home. it is that one, then up, and that one. yes, we've got to our orange one. yes! and to the blue one, well done. i've been trying to make it to all the planets and i have and after i made it all the planets, i made it to the start. of course, there is a long way to go from this to this. but with coding in huge demand,

the focus at many schools now is no longer simply reading, writing and arithmetic. crispin rolfe. parts of the yorkshire dales have been transported back to the 1940s for the filming of a new series of all creatures great and small. the period drama follows the life of james herriot who works as a vet in a small yorkshire village. our reporter nicola rees has been along to watch the action. cheese. cheese! that's a good one. well, it's not every day a film crew comes to town. then again, this isn't the first time grassington has been transformed into the fictional market town of darrowby. it can only mean one thing — all creatures great and small is back for a new series. i watch it all the time, over and over again. that's me there with james. mandy from leeds is what you might call a herriot super fan,
8:21 am
where the cameras go, she goes. i've got the signatures. siegfried, hejust signed his name. and then he said to me, do you watch the show? i said, watch it? i am a superfan. the channel 5 reboot follows the adventures of a yorkshire vet in the 1930s and 40s. gentlemen, i'm sure you're aware of the growing tensions in europe. the last series saw the start of the second world war and the marriage ofjames herriot to helen. the period transformations are impressive. don't be fooled by the bakery, though. it's business as usual for the gift shop inside. and right on the edge of the markets get of the market square is a place you'll recognise — skeldale house is where james herriot lives and works. what you might not know is it's the actual real—life home of paul. you've got a front seat on the rehearsals every day. i certainly have. i've been watching them building the set all last week and transforming

8:30 am
four—piece band of all time. so which one's benny and which one's bjorn? laughs. you're going to get so much abuse for that. i know, i'm regretting it already. but anyway, welcome to the british music experience. this is an immensely colourful journey through the british pop scene from 1945 to now, and where every hour, on the hour, a hologram boy george plays live. # karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon... liverpool's hosting eurovision on behalf of ukraine. and in amongst the memorabilia, here's the outfit that helped the uk sparkle last year. there's plenty of interactive stuff here. you can find a musical link to wherever you're from in the uk. and there are lessons for dancers and budding musicians... ..of which we are neither.
8:31 am
ah, take that and the spice girls — i remember when they were new and exciting. every generation has their idols, and they were mine. and the brilliant thing about music is it's always looking for new and exciting, and the next big thing. and the latest batch of idols, well, they need to be seen to be believed. from travis scott to ariana grande tojustin bieber — pop stars are entering the so—called metaverse, performing virtually on pixelated stages they'll never physically set foot on. and hollywood is leading the charge. it's home to capture studios like wave and yoom that digitally scan artists and teleport them to online audiences around the world. today, with this technology, we're actually able to bring the actual artists, process themselves into a photorealistic performance. they use eight camera rigs,
8:32 am
32 motion sensors, 48 led lights, and four infrared projectors to capture 3d shapes and textures. so the playback looks more like a 3d video than an animation. nothing can replace the live concert, but it's expensive for fans, for musicians to travel. icelandic artist margret ran of electronic group gusgus has received the technical treatment for her virtual tour. this isjust so nice to be able to, you know, go to your computer and immediately connect just like this, from wherever in the world. because i haven't been to japan. i mean, i live in iceland, in a small island in the atlantic ocean. so this is exciting for me to see an artist that maybe lives in korea, and i can see them from iceland. for the artist, it's really opening a new opportunity for revenue, a new opportunity for promotion, a new opportunity for expansion of their art and creation
8:33 am
into the worldwide audience that is really today logging into interactive spaces and looking for content. and of course, you have a captive audience keen to buy digital merch. travis scott reportedly made around $20 million for his nine—minute—long concert in fortnite. other acts are embracing virtual worlds in unique ways. the uk's miro shot is an exploratory halfway house between physical and digital. they play their music live on stage whilst the audience wear mixed—reality headsets, seeing the band sometimes, whilst at others being immersed in computer—generated visuals. in a part of a song that you feel should be spacey or you should send them to somewhere else, we can send them to the alps, or we can put them in a motel that's somewhere in wisconsin. and you can kind of... really, it's the same decisions
8:34 am
you make when you're making a music video. it's quite strange experience actually, going to see a real live performance, a real—world gig, but also see a virtual cityscape. any artist will want to use tools that can say something new or say something else. so for us, it's just this amazing new palette of colours to paint with. that was nick. and it's not only western musicians that are feeling the need to have virtual versions of themselves. k—pop group aespa also took to a virtual stage at south by southwest. k—pop is known for constructing its hands — from picture—perfect appearances to impeccable behaviour, idols are made to be flawless. and now, some have been taken to the next level. this is eternity, and these are not real faces.
8:35 am
whilst professional singers provide the voices and different dancers perform the routines, their faces are swapped out for ones generated by ai, which were selected by a public vote. although face—swapping software is fairly automated these days, it's the job of technical artists like shin seunho to make the videos as perfect as possible. # are you keeping it real? the technology's not perfect, so sometimes we have to manually catch those frames and... so you have the characters dancing and their face starts wandering off to one side. don't you just hate it when your face goes wandering off to one side? not too far away, also in the city of seoul, the band mave have gone one better. we are mave! their bodies are also computer—generated, and they come with a suitably futuristic back story. translation: four young girls from udipia, a future city - where emotions have been eliminated, crashland in the modern day in search of hopes and dreams.
8:36 am
right, then... you can turn her eyes. so what happens when you tweak the nostrils? 0h! you don't have to touch it. and get this — members of both bands don'tjust perform in pre—recorded videos, they can appear live too. translation: every morning, i report on stories about al - for broadcaster sbs, and i've also been reporting on different food cultures from around the world. well, i'm sat here with jane, not jane. and what's weird is i can see this person's real face. but you can't, because by the time you watch this, jane's face will have been deep—faked on top. and even over there, i can see jane
8:37 am
on my reference screen. this is alljust completely weird. jane, hello. all of this begs the question, how are human performers meant to live up to these perfectly curated beauty standards and talents? translation: for instance, just like how mickey mouse l is still a popular and active character, i also hope mave will be recognised as an iconic character like mickey mouse. this might either be creepy or dreamy — the end of human creativity or the beginning of a new creative era. where you stand on this may depend on your age, might depend on your music tastes. so ask yourself this — what would your ideal pop idol look like?
8:38 am
newsreel: the world's finest equipment will be used, including the largest telephoto lens in the world and a zoom lens which cost over £1,000, to bring the complete magnificent spectacle to this theatre... 1953, and the coronation of queen elizabeth ii was a huge moment for the technology behind broadcasting. fast forward 70 years and, while the coronation of king charles might not be sending people to the shops to buy their first tv, it is seeing new tech being rolled out to broadcast the events in london to screens right around the world. it's here at the site of loch lomond in scotland, more than 400 miles away from buckingham palace, that a network that will connect many of the cameras is being put through its final testing. think of it as popping on a bubble of private 5g wireless connectivity. and then what we are doing
8:39 am
at the coronation is to allow the international broadcast community the ability for their cameras tojump on our 5g network all the way down the mall. this is basically an entire 56 network in a couple of boxes. so in this unit here, we've got a computer, this is running our 56 software stack and also the core network. there's a radio head in that box. there's an antenna up here. and that's the whole 56 network. at the moment, we're passing video data through this. we've got a camera over there, which is streaming through the network, breaks out of our core and goes into our video receiver box. and that's the video feed that we can see on the screen here. this creates the network, but the cameras have got to be linked to it somehow. talk us through what's on the camera. yes, i mean, this is a sort of homebrew encoder that we've built up, called the haggis cam. there's a video feed coming out of this camera, going into an encoder box that lives in here. we've then got a small computer which is connecting back to the 56 network, and that computer also enables bidirectional internet connectivity.
8:40 am
so back in some central office, the producer can zoom the camera in and out, change the settings and all that kind of stuff. so basically we can take this to anywhere and literally in five minutes pop up a network. from a phone, you can connect to a 56 network. what's different about what you provide? as soon as you get a large, large number of people who participate in the venue, you suddenly notice that, even though you've got your 4g or your 56, the performance of that degrades heavily. and we want to control that, we don't want everybody else being able to access our network because they'll just steal resources, effectively, from the communication channel. we've come a long way in 70 years, but the king's coronation will still be the biggest test of this 56 tech yet. that's it for the short version of

technology expert. we are going at 70 mph on the m4 and tom is about to turn on the mode that means he can take his hands of the wheel. 50. turn on the mode that means he can take his hands of the wheel.- take his hands of the wheel. so, i'm ttoin to take his hands of the wheel. so, i'm going to activate _ take his hands of the wheel. so, i'm going to activate system _ take his hands of the wheel. so, i'm going to activate system now by - going to activate system now by pressing this button on the steering wheel, take my hands off the wheel. in this car, that's perfectly legal but the dry that's eyes have to remain on the road ahead and they have to be ready to take control again at any time if necessary. cameras are monitoring the driver. if they look away, a warning sounds and eventually the car will slow down to a crawl. tom has simulated the warning by briefly covering the camera. this function works on 2300 miles of motorway in england, scotland and wales. users have to pay a monthly subscription. time for me to have a go. press that button. take my hands off. it is the first time i have done this and it is a strange feeling.
8:43 am
i am used to cruise control, but now the car is controlling the speed and doing the steering for me well. this just makes it even more easy and relaxing, in particular for slow moving traffic and motorway driving. it takes a lot of stress and strain of drivers and many others do that as part of our commute to and from work. it works by using radars and cameras. what this is not is a self driving or driverless car. which you cannot currently buy in the uk. development of those is ongoing and there are trials, for example, this one in woolwich in south east london. asda is trying out these cars for grocery deliveries with a safety driver in place. and autonomous track taxis are being trialled in america. but we are years away from that becoming the norm. what the manufacturers will have to do is provide a safety case that all the different scenarios of the car might face. such as weather, different road furniture, bad lane markings and road signs.
8:44 am
they have to prove to the government the system is safe. how close do you think we are to that? i think by the end of 2030 we will start to see some automated vehicles, some self driving functions on our roads. but i don't think we will be going from door to door self driving for a long time. ford says the system has already been well used in america. it is not focusing on going fully self driving, but developments like this are another step on the journey. i'm sure it's perfectly safe but i would still feel really worried. i would still feel really worried. i would still feel really worried. i would still have my hands hovering by the wheel just would still have my hands hovering by the wheeljust in case. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. a bit of a different feel to the weatherfor good morning. a bit of a different feel to the weather for many northern and western areas this morning. we've got thick cloud, outbreaks of rain but as we head into the afternoon it should break
8:45 am
up into the afternoon it should break up into showers and sunny spells. the reason for the unsettled conditions is because of this weak area of low pressure. sitting towards the north and the west. higher pressure towards the near continent which is why we are seeing the drier and sunnier weather towards east anglia and the south—east. we are into a fairly warm air mass away from very far north of scotland. it looks like the showers will tend to fizzle out into the afternoon to sunny spells and showers. the best of the sunshine from the humber down to east anglia and the south—east where we could see 18—19. further north and west, low to mid—teens. as we move into this evening and overnight it looks like those showers across more central areas would push towards the east. some rain is likely that the eastern side of england for change. further west clear spells, a few showers, variable cloud. with the cloud cover temperature no lower

when she sang on a show on hackney�*s wilton estate to celebrate the 1953 coronation. with cloth in short supply, she and her younger sister wore outfits made of crepe paper. what would i have seen on coronation day? bunting everywhere, flags. mums chasing the kids about, it was just lovely, really. east end street parties provided the source material for a famous essay on the meaning of the coronation, an active national communion in which the people of the united kingdom became more sensitive to the values which bound them altogether. does the coronation 2023 hold the same meaning? do the people of the east end see it as more of an for a knees—up and a day off work? it is our history. i do not think there is anywhere in the world that have got the history we have got with our monarchies. does it make you feel special?
8:55 am
very. i think so. i think we can be uppity about it. celebrations on coronation road drew photographers back in 1953, today, not so much evidence of local enthusiasm but at the primary school that backs onto coronation road, well, here anticipation is tangible. the coronation to us is the start of a new era. since queen elizabeth sadly passed away we will have a new heir to live up to her legacy and make our country a better place. it makes me happy because i know that i get to see - a ginormous event happening. i love royal history, i really like it. it is about identity, it is about recognising that we are all british and the mantra of the british values. this coronation footage found
