(emf. morning. there is a huge security operation in the capital this week,

as you would expect. lots of security guards and police officers in this area. but currently the mall and this area around buckingham palace are still open to the public. last night at about seven pma man approached the front gate of buckingham palace. he began throwing objects into the grounds. they seemed to be shot gun cartridges. the police detained him and searched him. they found a knife and arrested him. they found a knife and arrested him. he also had a suspicious package. they sealed off this area. there was a controlled detonation to make sure it was safe. nobody was hurt. the king and queen consort were not in residence at buckingham palace. the police very much describing this is not a terrorism —related, but a mental health incident. that is something you do see from time to time down here at the gates of buckingham palace. it did not put any delays to the rehearsals overnight of the hundreds of servicemen who will be taking part in the coronation processions.

preparations for the biggest march of their lives. after weeks of practising separately, more than 7000 personnel from across the uk and commonwealth's armed forces came together overnight in central london to rehearse for saturday's processions to and from westminster abbey. soldiers, sailors, aviators and musicians from all three services will be joined by personnel from 3a nations and six overseas territories of the commonwealth. the smaller first procession from buckingham palace to the abbey is called the king's procession. the king and queen consort travel by carriage down the mall, through admiralty arch to trafalgar square, then turn down whitehall and through parliament square to the abbey. the return coronation procession will follow the same route, but be much larger. it's been 70 years since a military

ceremonial operation of this scale was put on for queen elizabeth ii's coronation. on that day, a four—year—old prince charles watched his own mother become sovereign, and has talked of his memories of the occasion. one of those taking part in the procession this time is captain jordan wightman. he's received some advice from his grandfather, then sergeant charles white, who took part in the last coronation. before he passed he obviously talked about it in great detail with my mum and, you know, and the rest of the family. and what's been passed on is, you know, just remember, the nerves will keep you sharp and your wits about you, but also, actually, don't forget to actually enjoy the moment and enjoy the day. it certainly is a once in a lifetime opportunity and it's very easy to sort of let it all fly by and not enjoy every possible moment of it. there will be more rehearsals over the next few days to help overcome any lingering nerves and ensure saturday's pageantry for their new commander in chief, king charles iii,

impresses both him and a global audience of hundreds of millions. ican i can tell you i already saw rehearsals on the weekend at an raf base, and again overnight. it doesn't get any less impressive when you see those thousands of troops, not just from the you see those thousands of troops, notjust from the british army, but the armed forces and the commonwealth, marching right through where i am standing here, the sound of the bands, the horses... for anybody lucky enough to be here at the weekend, it would be an incredible spectacle, the likes of which few people alive today will have seen before. i have seen a few of the people leading a debriefing talking about what was going on over night. we will have one of them talking us through exactly how it went with just three days to go until the coronation. vincent, thank you very much indeed. what a gorgeous morning as well.

i think if it was that sort of weather at the weekend, everybody would be very happy. matt will give us a clue in a few minutes. nurses are still threatening to go on strike in england despite ministers agreeing to pay a 5% pay increase. the royal college of nursing say the dispute is "far from over", with members being balloted later this month. 0ur reporter robin brant has the latest. fair pay! when do we want it? now! the deal has raised hopes that days like these in the nhs could be coming to an end. 14 unions that represent nhs staff were involved in yesterday's meeting. the majority were in favour of a pay offer in england. but doctors and nurses are still holding out. what the deal with the staff council shows is the willingness of the government to enter into meaningless, constructive negotiations with trade unions. that's what we have done with the agenda for change staff, covering more than a million nhs workers. the accepted offer involves a 5% increase this year, and a one—off payment

of up to £3,789. the extra money should be in the pockets of more than one million nhs staff across england by next month. now the trusts who run the hospitals want to make sure it never happens again on this scale. we want to make sure there is constant ongoing dialogue, that the great work of nhs staff is absolutely recognised, that there is a really strong focus on the experience of staff in terms of the work that they do day in, day out. the majority of nhs staff in england have accepted the new pay offer, but nurses are still set to ballot on further strike action. what i would say to the government today is, just be careful about over claiming this as a success and end to industrial action. the government knows only too well that nurses remain in dispute with this government. also, junior doctors do. and we have a number of health care workers that

are represented by unite, including our ambulance workers and others, who remain in dispute. so this dispute is far from over. negotiations with junior doctors are yet to make any progress after their 35% increase demand. robin brant, bbc news. tougher measures in the fightback against scammers have been announced by the government, with action to block fraudulent communications at their source. the new fraud strategy will include banning cold calls on all financial products, such as those relating to insurance or sham cryptocurrency schemes. under the plans, banks will also be allowed to delay suspect payments. today's the last full day of campaigning before voters go to the polls in england's local elections. more than 8,000 seats are up for grabs at 230 councils. northern ireland will go to the polls on may 18th, but there are no elections in scotland and wales. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us from westminster.

these results will be very, very closely watched, won't they? morning. they will indeed. 8000 seat is a big deal across england tomorrow. not all of the country is voting. but large parts of england will be. they say is, of course, local elections about local issues, from who fills your potholes too who collect your brains and when. but people like me on friday morning will be poring over those details as well, trying to figure out what it means for the broader political picture. this is the biggest political test of political opinion in england before the next general election. all of the parties' performances are going to be heavily scrutinised. i have been chatting to them all over the last few days. there is always expectation management. they always try to temper expectations. the conservatives think they are going

to lose a lot of seats, potentially as many as 1000. labour are expecting big gains if they are going to be on course to win the next general election. people in the labour party talk about maybe winning 400 seats. that is probably the lower end of expectations, may be higher. the lib dems are hoping to pick up some seats from the conservatives, particularly in the south of england in the old tory heartlands. the greens are hoping to make greens and potentially have their first ever majority on a council. let's see what happens tomorrow. really big day. one other thing to flag up. it is the first time in england that he will need voter id when you turn up at the polling stations. if you're in one of those parts of the country voting tomorrow and you pop along to your station, take your driving licence or your passport, because you will need that before you vote. there is a full list of the available id that will be recommended on our website.

thank you. military factions fighting each other in sudan have agreed to another truce for a week, starting tomorrow. the deal was announced by south sudan, which said the two sides had also agreed to name representatives for peace talks. it comes after the uk government announced rescue flights will continue tomorrow. animal welfare campaigners will be in the high court later today, trying to stop the rearing of fast—growing chickens. they're arguing the chickens, which have been genetically selected to grow fast and large to end up on supermarket shelves more quickly, sufferfrom health problems. 0ur environment and rural affairs correspondent claire marshall has more. the chicken industry is big business. 22 million birds are killed for their meat each week here in the uk. to save money feeding and housing them, and to get more breast meat from each bird, they have been genetically selected to grow extremely quickly,

up to three times faster than in the 19505. they can reach slaughter weight in around five weeks. but academic studies have shown that this comes at a cost to their welfare. campaigners argue it should be illegal to farm them. so that growth rate, that puts an enormous amount of pressure on the skeleton of the bird as it's growing up. and that pressure on the skeleton causes lameness — because of their inability to walk properly, they spend a lot of time lying down, and this causes lesions to the legs. because of that fast growth rate, it puts a lot of pressure on the heart and lungs. so, the circulatory system. so, you get high mortality. 0n the high street, you can buy a higher welfare, slower grown chicken like this one. but the problem is the price. it's almost twice as expensive as the supermarket standard, and in a cost of living crisis that is a real issue. there is a move away from rearing such fast growing breeds. kfc, nando's, greggs and marks and spencer are among 350 companies

in the uk and eu that have signed up to the better chicken commitment. but the vast majority of supermarkets and suppliers haven't signed up, believing current welfare rules are enough. the british retail consortium says retailers work closely with farmers to make sure all chicken is produced to high standards and they label their products clearly. the government says all animals are protected by robust animal health and welfare legislation. it's an offence to cause any captive animal unnecessary suffering. this case, brought by the humane league uk, will be a key test. should this system, designed to meet our taste for cheap chicken, have to change? claire marshall, bbc news. what is your least favourite domesticjob? the one i have to do tonight. the bins. you do that on a wednesday?

yeah. it's different in different places now. if you are doing the bins tonight, you have been warned by what happened to one teacher in america. have a look at this. 0h, by what happened to one teacher in america. have a look at this. oh, my goodness. principaljames marsh got the shock of his life when a bear leapt out of the dumpster he was opening at his school in west virginia. mrmarsh said he mr marsh said he thought of the students had basically, it was like a joke or a prank. they all thought of the cctv footage of him was hilarious. i love the fact that he runs one way and the buyer i’u ns runs another. they are almost —— always more frightened of you. 14 minutes past six. matt, easy it been day where you live? it is. monday morning. but the bins

out sunday night. if you are sticking the bins out this morning, not a bad start. a beautiful start in derbyshire, as it is across much of england and wales, where we see some of the best of the sunshine today. most of us will get away with a dry day, the exception being the west of scotland. chilly start this morning. eastern areas especially. temperatures are only a degree or so above freezing. some in parts of aberdeenshire and norfolk and suffolk dropping down below freezing. it is chilly here. not so much for the west. a bit more cloud to start your morning. cloud in scotland at the far west. the western isles will see some rain developing. the cloud in northern ireland will break up. some low cloud lingering in the north of england. a breeze compared to yesterday. strongest towards the south—west. 30 to 40 mph later on. in the breeze, sunshine should feel

quite pleasant. temperatures above normal for quite pleasant. temperatures above normalfor some quite pleasant. temperatures above normal for some western areas, 17 or 18 degrees. colour in scotland where we see the cloud. patchy rain working from central scotland northwards. tonight that will push on across 0rkney and just fringe into shetland. most of you will have a dry run out. maybe not as chilly as last night. the juries will be a notable feature. temperatures and made single figures for most. —— temperatures. tomorrow looks like a fine day. heavy thundery showers in the south—west. as we head towards the south—west. as we head towards the coronation weekend, rain will become more of a feature. details throughout the programme. thank you very much indeed. a second phase of the war in ukraine has now begun, according to president zelensky. russia has been building its defences and still has advanced surveillance and electronic warfare systems, which it's been using to target ukrainian forces. 0ur defence correspondent

jonathan beale reports. it's getting harder to hide from the enemy. a trench, not enough to avoid detection by russia's electronic eyes and ears, trying to locate and intercept communications. fire! so ukraine's having to use the old alongside the new. an antique from another era. a wind—up phone. what you're seeing here in this trench is 21st century technology being used, like ipads giving them the targets. but at the same time, it's not that different to the first world war. they're using a hard landline. that's partly because the russians in this area are using electronic warfare to try to find them and to block their signals, too. there it goes.

translation: this is the safest means of communication. - it's impossible to listen in. some russian electronic systems can detect and intercept our mobile phones and radios. this technology is very old, but it works really well. the widespread use of drones also makes it harder to hide. but russia's electronic warfare assets are searching for ukraine's drone army too. the hunter is being hunted. alexi and his team are constantly having to work out ways to mask their position, using encryption and altering the geo location. this drone, flying over russia's front line, thinks it's somewhere in australia. but it doesn't always work. translation: our units might lose three or four|

drones a day, depending on the weather conditions, tasks and the enemy's means. there might be radio, electronic warfare stations or anti—drone guns that recognize a drone by sight or sound. they can transmit interference and interrupt communication. ukraine's own efforts to bring down drones can be more rudimentary. what looks like a bird in the distance is a russian 0rlan. gunfire. that's what we're hearing now — it's just kalashnikov fire trying to shoot down the drone, but it's flying too high. russia's using them to track communications and to direct artillery fire. but they haven't been able to stop ukraine from getting its own bird's eye view of the battlefield. it is, though, a constant threat.

translation: they fight every day, every hour, every second, _ because they have got resources for that. they manufacture, they own unmanned vehicles. we fight against it, but not as much as we'd like. russia has the advantage in electronic warfare, and more drones. but it still can't gain control of the skies, or defeat ukrainian resistance and ingenuity. jonathan beale, bbc news, eastern ukraine. let's have a look at today's papers. and many of the front pages cover the arrest of a man outside buckingham palace last night. the daily mirror reports that an area around the queen victoria monument had to be evacuated during the incident, so police could carry out a controlled explosion. the guardian leads with a story about new anti—protest laws, which the paper says have been rushed in ahead of the coronation.

it adds that, from today, protesters who block roads, airports or railways could be imprisoned for 12 months. the times says that the government is planning to introduce a ban on unsolicited calls for all financial products. it reports that the measure is intended to protect older people, in particular, from the most common scams. lots of you have experienced this kind of attempted scam in recent weeks. and the most read story on the bbc news website this morning features a video of wrexham's hollywood owners, ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney, enjoying victory celebrations in the city last night. wasn't it brilliant? it was amazing. i got quite transfixed by and watching it on the iplayer. watching a bus go through wrexham. it was amazing. absolutely amazing. this is lovely. it is in the sun. the last conversation that dame deborahjames had, the last

interview she did before she died with tony livesey, hour or colleague, it hasjust with tony livesey, hour or colleague, it has just won an award. the public voted moment of the year for the radio times, which is fantastic. congratulations. an amazing listen. i like this. this is about what he listened to in the summer and what you listen to in the winter. what type of music. according to oxford university, fast—paced, loud, danceable music focusing on positive emotions will sell well in the summer months, but in winter we like to listen to more sad and melancholy songs. balance for the winter. balance all year round. 0ne song scored very highly. —— ballads. ready? # ice, ice, baby duck yeah, let's

stop. that is apparently the most summery song you can listen to, according a study. 22 minutes past six. we can stay with a musical theme as we head towards the coronation street. —— the coronation. what would you do if you were king for a day? would you have a big party? or maybe try on the crown jewels? well, that's the inspiration for a new song that school children have been learning. and it's set to be released on the day of the coronation. it's been recorded at a primary school in croydon. # if you were king for a day # how would you celebrate? # open the palace gates # eat pizza and stay up late...# children in primary schools up and down the land are belting out this song, fit for a king. written by teacher turned

author, banji alexander, he hopes it will connect younger people to the coronation. i think once you can get children excited about something, once it becomes fun and relevant to them, they will certainly engage with it. and new king makes the song, and the idea of being a leader and having power, very relevant to children. it's written from a child's perspective, so they are very excited about the coronation. they've never experienced a coronation. i've never experienced a coronation. so i'm equally as excited as they are. # i'm the new king # sipping applejuice from my chalice # i do new things # new trampoline park in the palace # i'm the new king # i'm living large, i'm living lavish # i do new things # baby giraffes up in the palace # oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh...# this song is all about what you would do if you were suddenly king for the day. and it's got lyrics in it, like, maybe you'd have a trampoline at buckingham palace, or perhaps you'd have a marshmallow milkshake.

and it's certainly a song that has got lots of these children noticed. so with a nod to the song's lyrics, what would these children do if they were king for the day? we don't have a throne, but we do have the next best thing. it's the, eh, teacher's chair. i would probably call the buckingham palace cat castle because i am in love with cats. and i would make sure that every room had at least ten cats in it. i would probably make every castle and palace have like, on the very top of it, have a giant open air roof garden. if i were king, i would eat pizza basically every day. _ i would have a vacation. around the whole world. do parties and all of that every day. rehearsals have kept the children at this school in south london busy. they've even shot a music video. and the song is set to be released on the day of the king's coronation. ricky boleto, bbc news.

they're brilliant, and they? i've still got vanilla ice going through my mind. later on the show... we're meeting the man whose dying wish is to make sure his incredible collection of tech from across the years lives on after he's gone. we are going to be having a close look at all those gadgets. and this story had us wondering — what old bits of tech do you have lying around at home? the sort of thing you don't use any more but can't throw out. send us your pictures. and you can now send us a message on whatsapp. the number is 0330123 0440, orjust scan the qr code with your phone's camera and that will automatically start a chat with us. you can still get in touch with us by email, and on twitter as well. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

a very good morning, welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. a planned rehearsal of the coronation processions went ahead earlier — despite a man being arrested outside buckingham palace last night on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon. 7,000 personnel from all of the armed forces from the uk and the commonwealth came together for the first time ahead of saturday's events. hours earlier, a controlled explosion was carried out after a man threw what's thought to be shotgun cartridges into the grounds of the palace. the incident, which happened around 7:00, is not being treated as terror—related. a 33—year—old man remains in custody this morning on suspicion of murder after a woman was fatally stabbed in brixton on monday. police said the 31—year—old woman was approached from behind whilst walking on stockwell park walk. the met added there was currently no

information to suggest she knew her attacker. now, a school in north london has been chosen to have a rather special unveiling this evening. broomfield school in enfield is among 15 from around the country chosen to have giants thrones designed by the children displayed at the tower of london. it's all part of a competition run by the royal historic palaces ahead of the king's coronation — and one of the teachers involved said it really inspired the children to get creative it was really impressive how they decided to put their imagination into it and all the precise little details, i think, is what helped us win. eventually, it's going to go into the tower of london, where our students will be able to go and visit it, and eventually it will come to our school, where it will stay as a part of our history. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's no service between hainault and leytonstone via newbury park on the central lines, and the circle, district and hammersmith & city

are all delayed or part suspended due to a fault near plaistow — best to check with tfl before you leave this morning for updates there. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. it's a fine and a dry day for us today across the capital, with a lot more sunshine than most of us saw yesterday. but with the skies pretty clear last night, it is a chilly start to this morning — temperatures for many having dropped back to low single figures. bit of early mist around, as well, but that shouldn't last for too long, and there will be plenty of sunshine around. staying dry with a brisk easterly wind — and you'll feel that, i think, towards eastern areas of town, where it's always going to feel a little cooler, a bit windier. temperatures round about the seasonal average — peaking between 13 and 16 degrees celsius. now, overnight tonight, the easterly wind will start to strengthen somewhat, and there will be some clear spells, but also watch out for a bit more cloud. it should stay dry. as we head into thursday,, then, there will be more cloud around,

as we head into thursday, then, there will be more cloud around, but it should be dry for most of the day, and it will start to feel a bit warmer — temperatures now above the seasonal average. on friday, there could be some heavy, thundery downpours and possibly quite showery at times over the weekend. there's much more on all of today's stories — including the build—up to this weekend's coronation — on the bbc news app and online. i'll be back in half an hour — but for now let's cross back to sally and jon. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. johnjoins us for the john joins us for the sport. arsenal back on top for now. after that crushing defeat last night when it felt like the title race was decided. they are out in front once again but city have games in hand but you have to wonder what on earth is going on at chelsea, who arsenal were playing last night, 3—1. what

were playing last night, 3-1. what is auoin were playing last night, 3-1. what is going on? _ were playing last night, 3-1. what is going on? i— were playing last night, 3-1. what is going on? i don't _ were playing last night, 3-1. what is going on? i don't know! - were playing last night, 3-1. what is going on? i don't know! some l is going on? i don't know! some teamsiust _ is going on? i don't know! some teamsjust want _ is going on? i don't know! some teams just want the _ is going on? i don't know! some teams just want the season - is going on? i don't know! some teams just want the season to l is going on? i don't know! some i teamsjust want the season to end. teams just want the season to end. nearly there. teamsjust want the season to end. nearly there-— nearly there. they need a new manager- _ nearly there. they need a new manager. frank— nearly there. they need a new manager. frank lampard, - nearly there. they need a new manager. frank lampard, not| nearly there. they need a new- manager. frank lampard, not going well for him. arsenal are back on top for now. all the goals coming in the first half — two from captain martin 0degaard, another from gabrieljesus. to put a spring back in their step. two points clear of city, but city with those games in hand. what of chelsea who got a consolation, well it's now six defeats in six for frank lampard since he replaced graeme potter. they're nine points off the relegation zone. that's everything that i want to see from our team — you know, full commitment, a lot of energy, quality, speed, movement, two beautiful goals. and we connected with our crowd and created an incredible atmosphere again. we wanted to end the right to be top of the league we wanted to earn the right

to be top of the league tonight again — we are. and we have to be happy. we're where we are, but not accepting because it's not end up and we want to achieve that. we were too nice to play- against in all aspects in the first half, and in the second half we played more like - a team that has a... a threat at the top end of the pitch. l that's a collective when i say that — runs from wide - areas, runs from central. and in the first half we weren't... we were easy to play against. some teams are fighting for their futures in that relegation battle. now how many games do you need to keep a team up? there is the very real chance leeds will sack their managerjavi gracia, handing his replacementjust four matches to try and keep the team in the premier league. he's only been in charge since february, it would be the 14th managerial sacking this season — adding to that record number — and the man set to replace him... ..would be big sam — sam allardyce — whose coaching career started back in the late �*80s. a huge character in the game.

expect to see more dancing if he can keep leeds up. he made his name at bolton, leading them to europe. there was a spell with england which ended in controversy, but keeping teams up is what he's known for. he suffered his only relegation with west brom. it looks like he will get the call at leeds. liverpool's managerjurgen klopp has been charged by the fa for comments he made about the refereeing in their 4—3 win over spurs on sunday. klopp was furious with the officials during the match, he was criticised for the manner he approached the fourth official celebrating liverpool's winner. he even tweaked his hamstring. he said after that match that he thought the ref paul tierney had something against his team, and speaking before yesterday's charge was issued, klopp reflected on those comments. the things i said, how i feel about paul tierney whistling our games — i'm very sure he's not

doing it intentionally, but we maybe have a history and i cannot deny that. the refs are — well, they're really...angry about what i said and go now for it, i heard i was lying and stuff like this and i said that i never did. i did a lot of things that day, but didn't lie. 0ur england giving australia a helping hand in the ashes be up bowing and straining place to come here and play before the series starts? 0ne here and play before the series starts? one of those is steve smith who is due to play a few games for sussex ahead of the ashes series. some people saying it hands an advantage to australia because they are allowed to come over and learn a bit about the conditions and how to handle those in anticipation of the ashes to start but some are saying

it could help some of the england players, as well. this may help steve, of course it might do, but i genuinely think that english cricket will benefit from having the best players playing with our best young players. i mean, steve's been here for two days and you can see that the players want to earn his respect. you know, our batters have got an opportunity now for three weeks to pick his brains, watch how he practises, talk to him about how he bats in different conditions against different bowlers, and also we want him to score a few runs for us... yeah. ..and win a few games. you wonder if the australians would allow an english player to go over there. , ., , allow an english player to go over| there-_ there allow an english player to go over i there._ there is there. only to sledge them. there is that, ou there. only to sledge them. there is that. you prepare — there. only to sledge them. there is that, you prepare for _ there. only to sledge them. there is that, you prepare for that. _ the people of wrexham took to the streets last night to celebrate their team's promotion to the football league and to thank the hollywood superstars that helped make it happen. ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney took their place on the open top bus leading the victory parade through the town. 0ur wales correspondent, hywel griffith, reports. after a journey that took 15 years to compete, a promotion party they'll

remember for decades. 15,000 supporters lined wrexham's streets for a glimpse of the players and their celebrity owners, too. after so long in the football doldrums, you have to savour success. this the best day ever! 15 years of hurt! we've turned it around and we're going up, up, up. look what it means. there's the whole town behind the boys. it's cracking. it's brilliant. wrexham! it's great for them to see the achievement of wrexham, and they were mascots for the final game — the home game of the season, as well. so just for them to see the ending and the final victory parade, just — it needs to be seen. this may be lower—league football, but ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney�*s series welcome to wrexham has propelled this club to another level. streaming globally, it brought new international fans. many find their way here to the turf, wanting to meet one of the stars of the show — wayne the landlord.

it's bizarre. you open the door every day and there's 40, 50 americans coming through the door every single day. so... yeah, i... like i say, i sometimes — maybe in five or ten years, i'll look back and think that was a bonkers couple of years. hollywood money may have helped to secure wrexham's success, but don't discount the emotional investment of these supporters. just over a decade ago it was their cash that helped to save the club from insolvency, and stopped it from being wiped off the football map completely. so where next? the owners are ambitious, and would like another party like this at the end of next season. of course our goal is to get to the premier league. that's. .. why wouldn't it be? if we can do that — whether it takes five years, whether it takes 20 years — that's the goal, that's the mission. and, not surprisingly, it's one these fans are fully signed up to. 0h, aye, straight through league two, no problem. you're confident? 0h, without a doubt.

we'll hammer 'em. playoffs at the very least. before that, the next stop on wrexham's journey is an american tour, where they'll face chelsea and manchester united. a mismatch on the pitch but, as a footballing brand, wrexham believe they can compete. hywel griffith, bbc news, wrexham. it's amazing, isn't it? at the start of the season i'm sure lots of people hope, lots of the fans hope the victory parade would happen through the streets but did they anticipate they would be playing manchester united in a friendly in the us at the start of next season? it is just incredible. this is the stuff that fans dream of and it is happening right before their eyes, unbelievable. the happening right before their eyes, unbelievable.— happening right before their eyes, unbelievable. the whole hollywood connection. — unbelievable. the whole hollywood connection, everything _ unbelievable. the whole hollywood connection, everything about - unbelievable. the whole hollywood connection, everything about it - unbelievable. the whole hollywood connection, everything about it is l connection, everything about it is amazing. you couldn't write it. it is an incredible start to finish. thank you, fantastic pictures. preparations for the coronation got off to a shaky start after a man was arrested outside buckingham palace last night

on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon — but that didn't stop rehearsals through the streets of london in the early hours of this morning. we're nowjoined by major general christopher ghika from wellington barracks. he's the general 0fficer commanding, which means he oversees the ceremonial aspects of the coronation. that is quite a job. i feel a little underdressed, sir, this morning, speaking to you. how did it go last night? it must have been unnerving to have this incident at buckingham palace a couple of hours before you were due to start a.— were due to start a. well, i don't think the incident _ were due to start a. well, i don't think the incident really - were due to start a. well, i don't think the incident really affected | think the incident really affected us, the security response of the met police, they dealt with it very swiftly. it led onto the first major rehearsal on the streets of london of 4000 were 5000 troops who will be parading on saturday. hagar of 4000 were 5000 troops who will be parading on saturday.—

and it's brought my family a lot of comfort reading your stories. i've come to morecambe, wherejulie is reggie's full—time carer. it's like that, isn't it? that's it! i don't think so. laughter. we're very lucky — we've got the great wood behind us, so we've got lots of birds and we see lots of wildlife. she's also his power of attorney. but getting there wasn't easy. it was quite a complex process just getting the paperwork together. and then we sent it off, and there's a 20—week wait for the whole process to go through the system. and they do inform the power of attorneys that they've been asked to become a power of attorney, and they could object — they've four weeks to object. so that's one of the reasons it's long, but also it'sjust because there's a huge amount of people applying at the moment. it's such a long time, isn't it? it is. and over that time, reggie might

have been deteriorating and you're having to make more decisions. and then you rely on the goodwill of doctors, dentists, hospital consultants — whether they will speak to you on behalf of that person. definitely banks — the department for work and pensions won't speak to you. they are very, very strong about, if you haven't got a power of attorney, you cannot act on that person's behalf. so you had this gap of time... yes. ..waiting for the document, where reggie wasn't in a position to speak for himself. mm. so you were battling to speak on his behalf... yes, yeah. ..when he needed help. sometimes the doctor would call and he would say, "what's your name? " and make sure he's speaking to the right person, and he might have a bad day, won't know his name, or maybe not his date of birth. so i would have to literally beg the doctor, "please can i speak on my husband's behalf?" and doesjulie look after you? yeah. julie look after me. i bet she can be quite bossy sometimes, can she, julie? yeah. you can be.

laughter. it's ok. i think maybe go back to sri lanka! that's how bad it is! he's off tomorrow! and, actually, loads of you have had a similar experience. lots of your emails have been around how difficult it is, how frustrating it is, taking over the admin of someone else's life, and how much that makes a bad situation even worse. i really want to speak to charlotte because she emailed in saying, "my mum was diagnosed when i was six months pregnant. i'm an only child. before work, i'd have to go in and check she'd had breakfast. during work, she'd call 20 times a day. and after work i'd go over to make sure she was safe and give her her dinner. there were more calls in the evening." and she talked about contacting the bank. she said, "on the phone, it was awful. they would want her to tell them her name and date of birth, of which she knew neither. and the worst thing was, she didn't

believe she had dementia." thank you so much. no problem. oh, look, we're both in green! it's like we planned it. i mean, from the beginning, there was no support. there's. .. there's nothing. i'm an only child, my mum lives on her own, so it's just the two of us. but also, there's no support from anyone or anything. so the gp basically says — or the memory clinic says — "0k, your mum's got alzheimer's, here's some pills, here's some tablets, and we'll see you in a year's time." and mum obviously didn't... decide that she didn't have alzheimer's, kept throwing the tablets down the toilet. pfff, crazy things like that. i'd find tablets hidden under the sofa and i had to just try and keep everything going. mm. calling up companies, trying to sort out bills, and they're saying things like, "oh, 0k, well, yeah, we can talk to you as her daughter,

that's not a problem. if you could just put your mum on the line and i'll ask questions." and i'll be like, "ok, you can put her on the line," but when mum gets asked what her date of birth is and what her address is, she's got no idea. it's astonishing, isn't it? because you're like, "the reason i'm calling is because this person doesn't have capacity. and yet you're asking for me to put that person on the phone." exactly. and then i'd, like, write things down for mum so she could read it. but it soon got to a point where she couldn't read things and it was... it was ridiculous. and then i would be speaking to the utilities or the bills or the people, and i don't want to sit there and go, "look, my mum's got alzheimer's," because mum's sat next to me thinking she doesn't have alzheimer's. yeah. so then mum would go crazy — "i don't have alzheimer's! you're lying! it's all pretend!" so...i'm just stuck in this really awkward position of on the phone to whoever — the utility company — mum declaring she doesn't have

alzheimer's, the woman saying, "i just need to get her name and address." charlotte, i was in exactly the same position — i remember trying to cancel his car insurance because he'd had his licence taken off him. they wanted to speak to him. i had a one—year—old on my knee. he kept saying, "what are they asking? what do they need to know?" and the sort of stress that that builds within you is enormous, isn't it? huge. it's huge. but what we found, and what charlotte found, was once the piles of paperwork were sorted, once the right care was in place, everything changed. if it's a loving care home and it's the care — the right care home for them — it's the best place to be. because now — and i'm sure you're the same — i feel like the daughter again. yes! sorry. that is absolutely what me and my sisters have said — that we can be as kids again... that we can be his kids again... yeah. ..and he can be our dad. the frustration and the

stress have subsided. we think we've got part of our dad back. but should it have been that hard for us and for others? such an important subject, i know lots of people face. we'll find out more on how you can get power of attorney when we speak to a solicitor and the alzheimer's society charity — that's after eight o'clock. as nina was saying, we have appreciated hearing your story so far. keep those coming. if you find yourself in a similar situation caring for someone with dementia. we've been overwhelmed by the response so far. nina's story is one many, many people can relate to later on — how a shortage of nhs dentists is leading to desperate patients willing to queue

for hours for treatment. people were turning up early hours of the morning for hundreds and hundreds of them waiting forjust 100 places. the lengths people will go to to get nhs dental help right now. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning welcome to bbc london. i'm thomas magill. a planned rehearsal of the coronation processions went ahead earlier, despite a man being arrested outside buckingham palace last night on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon. 7,000 personnel from all of the armed forces from the uk and the commonwealth came together for the first time ahead of saturday's events. hours earlier a controlled explosion was carried out after a man threw what's thought to be shotgun cartridges into the grounds of the palace. the incident, which happened around seven o'clock, is not being treated as terror—related. a 33—year—old man remains

in custody this morning on suspicion of murder, after a woman was fatally stabbed in brixton on monday. police said the 31—year—old woman was approached from behind whilst walking on stockwell park walk. the met added there was currently no information to suggest she knew her attacker. now, a school in north london has been chosen to have a rather special unveiling this evening. broomfield school in enfield is among 15 from around the country choose to have giants thrones designed by the children displayed at the tower of london. it's all part of a competition run by the royal historic palaces ahead of the king's coronation. and one of the teachers involved said it really inspired the children to get creative. it was really impressive how they decided to put their imagination into it and all the precise little details, i think, is what helped us win. eventually, it's going to go into the tower of london,

where our students will be able to go and visit it, and eventually it will come to our school, where it will stay as a part of our history. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's no service between hainault and leytonstone via newbury park on the central lines. and the circle, district and hammersmith and city are all delayed or part suspended due to a fault near plaistow. best to check with tfl before you leave this morning for updates there. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. it's a fine and a dry day for us today across the capital, with a lot more sunshine than most of us saw yesterday. but with the skies pretty clear last night, it is a chilly start to this morning — temperatures for many having dropped back to low single figures. bit of early mist around, as well, but that shouldn't last for too long, and there will be plenty of sunshine around. staying dry with a brisk easterly wind — and you'll feel that, i think, towards eastern areas of town, where it's always going to feel a little cooler, a bit windier. temperatures round about the seasonal average — peaking between 13 and 16 degrees

celsius. now, overnight tonight, the easterly wind will start to strengthen somewhat, and there will be some clear spells, but also watch out for a bit more cloud. it should stay dry. as we head into thursday, then, there will be more cloud around, but it should be dry for most of the day, and it will start to feel a bit warmer — temperatures now above the seasonal average. on friday, there could be some heavy, thundery downpours and possibly quite showery at times over the weekend. there's much more on all of today's stories, including the build up to this weekend's coronation on the bbc news app and online. i'll be back in half an hour. but for now, back to sally and john.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. a man's arrested outside buckingham palace, just hours before hundreds of troops took part in a rehearsal for the king's coronation.

clamping down on cold calling and spoof texts — plans are announced for a new strategy to tackle scammers. in sport this morning — still gunning for the title — how arsenal are back on top in the title race, for now, piling more misery on london rivals chelsea. while it is a chilly start for some, it is going to be a fine day for most with sunny spells. the biggest exception parts of scotland. details coming up. good morning. it's wednesday, 3rd may. a man has been arrested outside buckingham palace on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon. it happened yesterday evening, just hours before rehearsals for the coronation took place overnight. a controlled explosion was carried out following the incident, which is not currently being treated as terror—related. our reporter vincent mcaviney

is live outside buckingham palace. morning. can you tell us what you know about what happened? morning. there is of course _ know about what happened? morning. there is of course a _ know about what happened? morning. there is of course a huge _ know about what happened? morning. there is of course a huge security i there is of course a huge security operation in place in the capital this week ahead of the coronation on saturday. but this area in front of buckingham palace, and the mall, is still open to the public. you might see behind me there are people cycling and jogging. last night at around seven p m went up to the gates behind me and started throwing objects through the fence into the grounds. —— 7pm. he was detained and searched. officers found he was carrying a knife, so arrested him. he also had a suspicious bag with him. this whole area was cleared. a detonation took place. no one was injured. we are told the king and queen consort were not in residence. the metropolitan police say this was not terrorism —related, but was a

mental health incident, something that sadly does happen down here every now and again at buckingham palace. it didn't disrupt rehearsals, which took place overnight, with members of the british armed forces, and also those of the commonwealth countries. we heard in the last hour on the programme from those leading them that they went very well. here is what it looked like. preparations for the biggest march of their lives. after weeks of practising separately, more than 7000 personnel from across the uk and commonwealth's armed forces came together overnight in central london to rehearse for saturday's processions to and from westminster abbey. soldiers, sailors, aviators and musicians from all three services will be joined by personnel from 34 nations and six overseas territories of the commonwealth. the smaller first procession from buckingham palace to the abbey is called the king's procession.

the king and queen consort travel by carriage down the mall, through admiralty arch to trafalgar square, then turn down whitehall and through parliament square to the abbey. the return coronation procession will follow the same route, but be much larger. it's been 70 years since a military ceremonial operation of this scale was put on for queen elizabeth ii's coronation. on that day, a four—year—old prince charles watched his own mother become sovereign, and has talked of his memories of the occasion. one of those taking part in the procession this time is captain jordan whiteman. he's received some advice from his grandfather, then sergeant charles white, who took part in the last coronation. before he passed he obviously talked about it in great detail with my mum and, you know, and the rest of the family. and what's been passed on is, you know, just remember, the nerves will keep you sharp and your wits about you, but also, actually, don't forget to actually enjoy the moment and enjoy the day.

it certainly is a once in a lifetime opportunity and it's very easy to sort of let it all fly by and not enjoy every possible moment of it. there will be more rehearsals over the next few days to help overcome any lingering nerves and ensure saturday's pageantry for their new commander in chief, king charles iii, impresses both him and a global audience of hundreds of millions. well, i can tell you i saw that rehearsal taking place at an raf airfield on sunday, and again overnight, and it doesn't get any less impressive. there are very few people alive who will be able to remember seeing the queen 's correlations. —— coronation. you are in for a treat if you can come down here. we heard earlier that it was a big test, but it went west —— well. and that security situation you might be able to see behind me, i

definitely think this morning there is a bigger police and security presence. but at the moment of this area and the mall is still open. vincent, thank you. nurses are still threatening to go on strike in england, despite ministers agreeing to pay them a 5% pay increase. the college of nursing says the dispute is "far from over", with members being balloted later this month. robin brant has the latest. fair pay! when do we want it? now! _ the deal has raised hopes that days like these in the nhs could be coming to an end. 14 unions that represent nhs staff were involved in yesterday's meeting. the majority were in favour of a pay offer in england. but doctors and nurses are still holding out. what the deal with the staff council shows is the willingness of the government to enter into meaningless, constructive negotiations with trade unions. that's what we have done with the agenda for change staff, covering more than a million nhs workers.

the accepted offer involves a 5% increase this year, and a one—off payment of up to £3,789. the extra money should be in the pockets of more than one million nhs staff across england by next month. now the trusts who run the hospitals want to make sure it never happens again on this scale. we want to make sure there is constant ongoing dialogue, that the great work of nhs staff is absolutely recognised, that there is a really strong focus on the experience of staff in terms of the work that they do day in, day out. the majority of nhs staff in england have accepted the new pay offer, but nurses are still set to ballot on further strike action. what i would say to the government today is, just be careful about over claiming this as a success and end to industrial action. the government knows only too well that nurses remain in dispute with this government.

also, junior doctors do. and we have a number of health care workers that are represented by unite, including our ambulance workers and others, who remain in dispute. so this dispute is far from over. negotiations with junior doctors are yet to make any progress after their 35% increase demand. robin brant, bbc news. ministers have announced a clampdown on the use of cold calls to sell financial products. the new fraud strategy — a response to the huge growth of web and phone—based scams — will also tackle technology which allows mass texting of numerous phones. another element of the plan will see banks permitted to delay payments being processed for longer, so suspicious payments can be properly investigated. shares in a number of major education companies have collapsed after they warned that al technology was harming their businesses. they say that students are now turning to ai chatbots like chatgpt for help, rather than using traditional resources.

us officials will meet top executives from google, microsoft, and other tech companies tomorrow to discuss the dangers of artificial intelligence. today's the last full day of campaigning before voters go to the polls in england's local elections. more than 8,000 seats are up for grabs at 230 councils. northern ireland will go to the polls on may 18th, but there are no elections in scotland and wales. our chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us from westminster. all the parties across the board, it matters a lot, these results? doesn't itjust. it is notjust about the local issues we all care about, potholes, parking, when your bins are collected. all of that is at stake in the places in england voting. it will also give us a much better picture of how all the parties are doing electorally as

well. this is the biggest test of public opinion in england before the next general election. so when it comes to friday morning, we will be looking very closely to see what it means. i think the biggest question of all is, does what happens tomorrow suggest that labour or have the momentum to win the next general election? we have seen a lot of opinion polls in recent months which suggests labour are doing really well. keir starmerwill suggests labour are doing really well. keir starmer will want to show that tomorrow, to show labour are picking up votes in parts of the country which could potentially give them power in downing street in a general election next year. the conservatives admit they're going to lose seats. they are trying to manage expectations at the moment and talk about a really bad day, potentially, tomorrow. but privately, there are some tories who believe that rishi sunak has helped to turn things around a little bit and maybe, just maybe, the result

they'd hoped tomorrow might give an indication that things aren't as bad for the tories as had been suggested. the lib dems want to pick up suggested. the lib dems want to pick up seeds are particularly in the blue wall tory heartlands in the south of england. the greens are wanting to make big gains as well. tomorrow is the first time in england that he will need a voter id to place your votes. remember to take a driving licence or something like that. there is a full list of what would be accepted online. a big day tomorrow for the local councils around the country, but also for the bigger political picture. indeed, and in the counting on friday and into the weekend. thank you. 11 minutes past seven. military factions fighting each other in sudan have agreed to another truce for a week starting tomorrow. it comes as the uk government announced rescue flights from sudan will continue tomorrow. we can speak now to our diplomatic correspondent paul adams.

morning to you. how likely is it that this ceasefire is going to hold out for the entire week? goad out for the entire week? good morning- _ out for the entire week? good morning- i _ out for the entire week? good morning. i wouldn't _ out for the entire week? good morning. i wouldn't count i out for the entire week? good morning. i wouldn't count on | out for the entire week? good i morning. i wouldn't count on it, to be honest. effectively what it is going to do is replace what has been a rolling series of three—day days ceasefires that have been in place for the last week. it doesn't really change much on the ground. whether it in any way heralds the possibility of political dialogue, well, i think that is also pretty doubtful. all of this is critical for the aid agencies because aid is starting to arrive in sudan will stop the red cross brought medical supplies into port sudan several days ago. there are warehouses in sudan that the agencies have stored their crucially needed supplies in, but they need to get to them to distribute them. and for that they need security

guarantees. they simply don't have them. the situation on the ground, they say, is simply too dangerous for them to operate. in some cases those warehouses have been looted in the course of the violence. the longer this military conflict goes on, we are getting on for three weeks now, the harder it is those aid agencies, those humanitarian agencies, to operate. and the greater the level of suffering around the country.- greater the level of suffering around the country. paul, thank you ve much around the country. paul, thank you very much indeed. _ around the country. paul, thank you very much indeed. paul— around the country. paul, thank you very much indeed. paul adams i around the country. paul, thank you very much indeed. paul adams lifel around the country. paul, thank you | very much indeed. pauladams life in very much indeed. paul adams life in nairobi. —— alive. animal welfare campaigners will be in the high court later today, trying to stop the rearing of fast—growing chickens. they're arguing the chickens, which have been genetically selected to grow fast and large to end up on supermarket shelves more quickly, sufferfrom health problems. our environment and rural affairs correspondent claire marshall has more. the chicken industry is big business. 22 million birds are killed for their meat each week here in the uk.

to save money feeding and housing them, and to get more breast meat from each bird, they have been genetically selected to grow extremely quickly, up to three times faster than in the 19505. they can reach slaughter weight in around five weeks. but academic studies have shown that this comes at a cost to their welfare. campaigners argue it should be illegal to farm them. so that growth rate, that puts an enormous amount of pressure on the skeleton of the bird as it's growing up. and that pressure on the skeleton causes lameness — because of their inability to walk properly, they spend a lot of time lying down, and this causes lesions to the legs. because of that fast growth rate, it puts a lot of pressure on the heart and lungs. so, the circulatory system. so, you get high mortality. 0n the high street, you can buy a higher welfare, slower grown chicken like this one. but the problem is the price. it's almost twice as expensive as the supermarket standard, and in a cost of living crisis that is a real issue. there is a move away from rearing

such fast growing breeds. kfc, nando's, greggs and marks and spencer are among 350 companies in the uk and eu that have signed up to the better chicken commitment. but the vast majority of supermarkets and suppliers haven't signed up, believing current welfare rules are enough. the british retail consortium says retailers work closely with farmers to make sure all chicken is produced to high standards and they label their products clearly. the government says all animals are protected by robust animal health and welfare legislation. it's an offence to cause any captive animal unnecessary suffering. this case, brought by the humane league uk, will be a key test. should this system, designed to meet our taste for cheap chicken, have to change? claire marshall, bbc news.

if it is been mike day for you today, you have been warned. here is a warning from america. it turned rather scary for a teacher. james marsh got the shock of his life when a bear leapt out of the dumpster he was opening at his school in west virginia. who is more scared, the teacher or the buyer? i love the way he almostjumps on the spot to get away. they are both scared of each other. mr marsh later said his students thought the cctv footage was hilarious. i'm not surprised! it is hilarious. poor chap though. terrifying. let's get the weather. we saw vinnie in central london and it looked absolutely beautiful there. how is it for whole country? stunning start.. good morning. brilliant buckinghamshire a short while ago living up to its name with

blue skies overhead. 1 degrees at the moment. chilly for some. not the moment. chilly forsome. not quite the moment. chilly for some. not quite as chilly in western scotland. it is a different sort of scene out there. the cloud will thicken up later and that could bring something damp to parts of scotland as we go through the late morning and early afternoon. a big contrast in temperatures. the coldest weather at the moment in his is in eastern parts. a chilly start for the stage in may. a touch of frost in parts of east anglia and the north—east of scotland. eight to ten towards western parts, where there is a little bit more cloud. there is the rain. limited to the western isles to begin with. see a finger of drizzle extending to central scotland. it may get to glasgow or edinburgh around lunchtime and head northwards. elsewhere, good sunny spells. variable cloud. a breeze blowing today. at its strongest in the south—west of england. 30 to 40 mph. where you have got the breeze coming in off a chilly sea, it will

feel cooler. across central and western areas, 16 to 18 celsius possible again. we do finish the day with outbreaks of rain or drizzle in western scotland, mainly to the highlands and western isles. that will move towards orkney as we go into the night. most of you will have a dry night as well. clear skies. more breeze tonight. that should stop the temperatures dropping as much across some eastern areas. could get down to lower single figures across east anglia and the midlands. eastern scotland and the midlands. eastern scotland and north—east england won't be as cold because there is more cloud to take us into tomorrow morning. heavy thundery showers moving into the south—west and southern parts of wales tomorrow. most will have a dry day. the coronation weekend, more rain in the forecast. details later. rain in the forecast. details later. ., ~ rain in the forecast. details later. ., ~ , ., the introduction of tighter security measures against terror attacks in public places is one step closer, with the government publishing draft legislation today to ensure venues are prepared for any incidents. the bill is known as martyn's law,

and comes after years of campaigning by figen murray, the mother of 29—year—old martyn hett, who was one of the 22 victims of the manchester arena bombing in 2017. figenjoins us now. morning. thank you so much for coming in. i know you have been working day and night on this for a long time. what is this moment? how significant is this moment for you? i know it has been a long journey and this is by no means the end? ida. and this is by no means the end? no, it is not the — and this is by no means the end? no, it is not the end, _ and this is by no means the end? iifr, it is not the end, but today is a significant milestone to get to this point. it'sjust incredible. there are still steps to go. and there's a way to go. but this is really, really very significant. truths; way to go. but this is really, really very significant. why is this so important? — really very significant. why is this so important? what _ really very significant. why is this so important? what does - really very significant. why is this so important? what does it i really very significant. why is this | so important? what does it mean? really very significant. why is this i so important? what does it mean? in december, i had a conversation with the prime minister by phone. that was the official green light given

by the government. he did say to me the next step would be the draft bill going to parliament, which is what happened. this is the exciting next step. more to follow. we are not at the end yet. but when i think about four years ago, when i started the campaign, i could not even see a tunnel, never mind the end of it, now i feel i can kind of see the end inside. it is at a distance, but it is there. �* , inside. it is at a distance, but it is there. �*, , .,, ., is there. let's remind people about what it is you _ is there. let's remind people about what it is you have _ is there. let's remind people about what it is you have been _ is there. let's remind people about l what it is you have been campaigning for, what you would like to see happen, so that what happened to martyn in manchester doesn't happen to other people in the future. if you spell it out really simply for us. a , you spell it out really simply for us, �* ., , ., , you spell it out really simply for us. margins law is basically requesting _ us. margins law is basically requesting that _ us. margins law is basically requesting that the - us. margins law is basically i requesting that the government is putting security at venues because would you believe, up to today, it

is only a recommendation to put security in place. —— martyn's law. you think there are rules about how many toilets a venue has to have, how hot the food has to be, not to sell food past the sell by date. yet there is nothing about security. i find that incredible that that is the case. ., ., , ., , ., the case. from what you understand it, how the case. from what you understand it. how would _ the case. from what you understand it, how would things _ the case. from what you understand it, how would things change - the case. from what you understand it, how would things change with i it, how would things change with this draft bill? what could we expect to see if we went to a venue in the future, a concert or a stadium?— in the future, a concert or a stadium? , ., �* ., , ., stadium? people shouldn't worry that we are going — stadium? people shouldn't worry that we are going to _ stadium? people shouldn't worry that we are going to turn _ stadium? people shouldn't worry that we are going to turn britain _ stadium? people shouldn't worry that we are going to turn britain into i stadium? people shouldn't worry that we are going to turn britain into a i we are going to turn britain into a police state or anything. itjust means that staff at venues will have training, that they know what to look for, that they know how to evacuate people if something did happen. so, the public will have the safety of the knowledge that staff know what to do in case of an

attack. that is really important. i know today is a landmark day and lots of ways. does this go far enough for you?— lots of ways. does this go far enough for you? well, there was nothin: enough for you? well, there was nothing before _ enough for you? well, there was nothing before the _ enough for you? well, there was nothing before the campaign i enough for you? well, there was i nothing before the campaign started, so this is massive progress. it may not be perfect, but we go a long way towards it. and i have to spell out that martyn's law is not going to stop all terrorist attacks, but what it will do a sequel massively, significantly, reduce the opportunities for these bad people to attack the freedom we enjoy. i know operators of smaller venues were worried when this started getting on the agenda that they might be forced to spend a lot of time and money protecting their premises when they didn't feel that they were a particular risk. what would you say to them? that they were a particular risk. what would you say to them? that was, in fact, a criticism. _ would you say to them? that was, in fact, a criticism. however, _ would you say to them? that was, in fact, a criticism. however, martyn'sl fact, a criticism. however, martyn's law, for smaller venues, literally can mean that you train your staff

that is why this is so important. and we should feel more safe today comedy think?— and we should feel more safe today i comedy think?_ thank comedy think? absolutely, yes. thank ou for comedy think? absolutely, yes. thank you for coming — comedy think? absolutely, yes. thank you for coming in. _ comedy think? absolutely, yes. thank you for coming in. nearly _ comedy think? absolutely, yes. thank you for coming in. nearly 25 _ comedy think? absolutely, yes. thank you for coming in. nearly 25 mesbah l you for coming in. nearly 25 mesbah seven. —— 25 minutes past seven. many of us have an old piece of technology lying around — an old mobile phone perhaps, or maybe a cassette player — but whatever�*s in your cupboards, we can guarantee you'll never match the wonderful collection of lucien nunes. he's been gathering items for years, and wants to share his passion for vintage technology with as many people it's a voyage of discovery, and the results are surprising. how do things work? it's a question lucien has been asking himself all his life. it's a great science lab in a box.

can learn how sounds are created. his curiosity and passion has resulted in this extraordinary collection. vacuum cleaners, light bulbs, televisions, professional audio gear. analogue computers. it's a complete coverage of electrical and electronic technology of the 20th century. so this is the video game that started it all. lucien had planned to spend the next 20 years sharing the collection with the public. he dreamed of a hands—on interactive museum and playroom, where anyone could touch and learn about the inventions which shaped our world. just before my 50th birthday, i was diagnosed with stage four cancer. i was really given six months to live. that was now 18 months ago. time is running out. what do you want to happen to all this? i want to break through the boundary of what defines people's perception of a museum. i want to find the person who will spearhead it and take over

where i can't carry on, before i run out of time. and that's measurable in weeks now — maybe months, certainly not years. i don't have years left. this is just a temporary storage site for a small proportion of the collection. basically, you will see ten or 20 times what you can see here. it's an analogue computer from the early 1960s. all the computers we use today — it kind of began here, effectively. absolutely. there's a whole generation of technological experts whose opportunities to teach and pass that on are gradually slipping away. i would like to see the collection utilised in the way that i've planned it — to bring people into technology, to discover how it touches their lives and how it can be a career or a hobby.

despite his illness, lucien�*s desire to teach and explain is undimmed. it was one of the sets that heralded the era of television for everybody. the usb stick is very familiar. the technology really started 100 years ago with organs. it stores the stop combinations so that the organist can recall them during a performance. if you understand one, it's only a very short leap of imagination to understand the other. lucien has a name for his dying wish. the museum of electrical and electronic technology. i've only got a limited time left in which to make this all come together. what would it mean to you, were that to happen? all the value in everything that i've done, everything that i've earned — i've put my entire savings into it, i've put my entire leisure time in the last 15 years into it. it's... it's my life's work. as unique and informative as its owner. lucien dearly hopes his collection

can inspire and educate others for many years to come. tim muffett, bbc news. let's hope lucy and he is from somebody. it would be great if that could be shown to the public permanently. thank you to him for sharing his story. let's take a look at some of old bits of tech viewers have shared with us this morning. david from east london has sent a photo of his first computer purchased in 1986 and his first mobile phones. barry from swindon has shared with us his old collection of video recorders. and chris has sent us a picture of an electronic game bought a0 years ago — saying "my grandchildren still play with it".

it still works. that stuff is quite cool. low—tech. and this story had us wondering — what old bits of tech do you have lying around at home? send us your pictures — and you can now send us a message on whatsapp the number is 0330123 0&40, orjust scan the qr code with your phone's camera and that will automatically start a chat with us. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning, welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. a planned rehearsal of the coronation processions went ahead earlier — despite a man being arrested outside buckingham palace last night on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon. 7,000 personnel from all three of the armed forces came togetherfor the first time ahead of saturday's events.

hours earlier, a controlled explosion was carried out after a man threw what's thought to be shotgun cartridges into the grounds of the palace. the incident is not being treated as terror—related. a 33—year—old man remains in custody this morning on suspicion of murder after a woman was fatally stabbed in brixton on monday. police said the 31—year—old woman was approached from behind whilst walking on stockwell park walk. the met added there was currently no information to suggest she knew her attacker. meanwhile a 45—year—old man's been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman in her 20s was reported missing from tower hamlets on sunday. officers are still searching for her but say they believe she may have come in to harm. now, a school in north london has been chosen to have a rather special unveiling this evening. broomfield school in enfield is among 15 from around the country chosen to have giant thrones

designed by the children displayed at the tower of london. it's all part of a competition run by the royal historic palaces ahead of the king's coronation. it was really impressive how they decided to put their imagination into it and all the precise little details, i think, is what helped us win. eventually, it's going to go into the tower of london, where our students will be able to go and visit it, and eventually it will come to our school, where it will stay as a part of our history. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's no service between hainault and leytonstone via newbury park on the central line, and the circle, district and hammersmith & city are all delayed or part suspended due to a fault near plaistow. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. it's a fine and a dry day for us today across the capital, with a lot more sunshine than most of us saw yesterday. but with the skies pretty clear last night, it is a chilly start to this morning — temperatures for many having dropped

back to low single figures. bit of early mist around, as well, but that shouldn't last for too long, and there will be plenty of sunshine around. staying dry with a brisk easterly wind — and you'll feel that, i think, towards eastern areas of town, where it's always going to feel a little cooler, a bit windier. temperatures round about the seasonal average — peaking between 13 and 16 degrees celsius. now, overnight tonight, the easterly wind will start to strengthen somewhat, and there will be some clear spells, but also watch out for a bit more cloud. it should stay dry. as we head into thursday, then, there will be more cloud around, but it should be dry for most of the day, and it will start to feel a bit warmer — temperatures now above the seasonal average. on friday, there could be some heavy, thundery downpours and possibly quite showery at times over the weekend. there's much more on all of today's stories — including the build—up to this weekend's coronation — on the bbc news app and online. i'll be back in half an hour — but for now let's cross back to sally and jon.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. it's just days until the king's coronation takes place, and with heads of state and foreign royals travelling to the uk, tight security measures are in place. but news of last night's arrest at buckingham palace may be causing officials some concern. the security minister tom tugendhatjoins us from westminster now. good morning, thank you for talking to us on the programme. what more can you tell us about this incident last night? can you tell us about this incident last niuht? ,., ., can you tell us about this incident last niuht? _, ., ., , can you tell us about this incident last niuht? ,., ., ., , ., last night? good morning. first of all, this last night? good morning. first of all. this was _ last night? good morning. first of all, this was a _ last night? good morning. first of all, this was a fantastic _ last night? good morning. first of all, this was a fantastic piece - last night? good morning. first of all, this was a fantastic piece of i all, this was a fantastic piece of policing by the officers on duty last night and i'm very, very grateful to them for their courage and the speed of their response. i think they have done a great thing for the uk. but the reality is there is not much more i can add other than what you have reported, it was an individual who threw some shotgun shells over the wall or into the palace grounds and that is all i can

tell you right now. but this is a huge operation and, as you saw last night, the police and our security services are absolutely ready to intervene when necessary. here we are an wednesday, _ intervene when necessary. here we are an wednesday, a _ intervene when necessary. here we are an wednesday, a few— intervene when necessary. here we are an wednesday, a few days - intervene when necessary. here we l are an wednesday, a few days ahead of the coronation. are you confident, or how confident are you, that security this weekend? we have sent uuite that security this weekend? we have spent quite literally _ that security this weekend? we have spent quite literally months - that security this weekend? we have spent quite literally months of - spent quite literally months of planning this event, as you can imagine, and the work that has gone on between the metropolitan police and other police forces around the uk and of course our intelligence services to make sure we know as much as possible what is going on and where incidents could care has been —— could care has been huge with offices and many others involved in different areas. i would like to thank all of those who put enormous numbers of hours into this work to make sure that we are ready for what will be a fantastic day for the uk and a great celebration of

our country and are welcome to our new king. i our country and are welcome to our new kin. ~' ., our country and are welcome to our new kina. ~ ., i” our country and are welcome to our new kina. ~ ., y., ., ., new king. i know you are here to talk about _ new king. i know you are here to talk about the _ new king. i know you are here to talk about the new _ new king. i know you are here to talk about the new strategy - new king. i know you are here to talk about the new strategy you | new king. i know you are here to i talk about the new strategy you are announcing, making it easierfor people to report fraud. what are you doing to actually stop it in the first place?— doing to actually stop it in the first lace? ~ ., ., , , first place? well, various things. the first thing — first place? well, various things. the first thing we _ first place? well, various things. the first thing we are _ first place? well, various things. the first thing we are doing - first place? well, various things. | the first thing we are doing under this fraud strategy is working with companies because of course telecoms companies because of course telecoms companies and tech companies are sadly a vehicle for fraud. we are stopping the scamp numbers, stopping what is called sim farms from sending out the mass communication that people can be lowered into fraud from and we are empowering individuals to know how to respond. most importantly we are working across the whole of the uk, we are setting up a nationalfraud squad across the whole of the uk, we are setting up a national fraud squad at the national intelligence unit investigators to make sure we are able to respond and pursue those fraudsters who may have attacked the uk. he

spoofing, the so—called copying of numbers that allows people to pretend they are something they are not. we are also banning those sim farms which can send out mass e—mails white mask texts, rather, that can get people into trouble. last day of campaigning ahead of the local elections in england. conservatives, your party, predicting you will lose 1000 seats in the elections tomorrow. labour say you are just getting your excusesin say you are just getting your excuses in early and anything better than that will then be seen as a win. what is your prediction? mr; win. what is your prediction? m prediction is win. what is your prediction? m1: prediction is that people around win. what is your prediction? m1 prediction is that people around the uk will be looking really hard at the choices before them and they have choices like conservative councils in tonbridge and morning who have one of the best councils in kent. they have kept council tax down and on average council tax in conservative areas is £80 less than under other parties under labour. the reality is we have also done more on crime. again, we are

introducing anti—social behaviour teams in the tonbridge and morning council. there's a lot going on in conservative councils around the uk and i hope people will see the advantage that the conservative council office and due to vote for them tomorrow. we have five priorities for the country. we want to half inflation, reduce debt, grow the economy, cut waiting lists and we want to stop the boats and we can only do that with conservative teams at every level across the country. what what a good night looks like for you after the local elections? 1 for you after the local elections? i am not a fortune teller, i am afraid! i'm in the business of trying to support conservative councillors who are trying to deliver conservative policies across the uk. i can tell you that in the two areas that i must connected to, sevenoaks and tonbridge and malling, we have the most fantastic council is working incredibly hard and i can tell you that in labour areas like london, council taxes are going up. the choice is pretty stark. mr tugendhat, you are security minister

and we recently heard from the godfather of artificial intelligence, geoffrey hinton, who has warned of the dangers of ai, suggesting it could be used to harm others. how concerned are you and what are you doing to stop that? this is a very early stage technology. artificial intelligence, as you know, is mostly based on so—called march language language which is more to do with pattern recognition but the reality is it is already offering a huge opportunity to the world but also a challenge and this is why we have to work together. the reality is we need to work with partners and friends in places like the us to make sure we are at the head of a series of decisions that will shape the way in which our world evolves. at the moment, or rather in coming days, the g7 will be meeting on various issues like this injapan and these are conversations that are going to be had. there is a whole series of areas we really need to make sure we

areas we really need to make sure we are shaping the debate but this is notjust are shaping the debate but this is not just about government, are shaping the debate but this is notjust about government, this is also about companies and individuals because this is about the way in which companies, google, where mr hinton used to work, and others which are so important. the uk is a leader in artificial intelligence. the mind is a fantastic firm, based in london, which has done a fantastic amount to advance in this and we need to make sure we get the best out of it —— deep mind. i do visual intelligence will improve the outcome of medical sciences, it will make a whole number of procedures better, safer, easier. it will improve education in any number of different thing so i hope very much we will harness the best aspects of artificial intelligence and work together to make sure our culture deals properly with the downsides. tom tugendhat, thank you very much indeed. . ~ tom tugendhat, thank you very much indeed. ., ~ , ., time for a look at the sport. maybe it is not all over.—

and we connected with our crowd and created an incredible atmosphere again. we wanted to earn the right to be top of the league tonight again — we are. and we have to be happy. we're where we are, but not accepting because it's not end up and we want to achieve that. we were too nice to play- against in all aspects in the first half, and in the second half we played more like - a team that has a... a threat at the top end of the pitch. l that's a collective when i say that — runs from wide - areas, runs from central. and in the first half we weren't... we were easy to play against. not getting any easier for frank lampard. we could be set to see yet another managerial change in what has already been a record—breaking number in the premier premier league. javi gracia looks set to be replaced at leeds, he's only been in charge since february, it would be the 14th managerial sacking this season —

the highest in any top flight season — and the man set to replace him... big sam. sam allardyce. whose coaching career started back in the late '80s. expect to see more dancing if he can keep them up. he made his name at bolton, leading them to europe. a big job for a big character — just four games to save them. there was that ill—fated spell with england which ended in controversy, but keeping teams up is what he's known for. he suffered his only relegation with west brom. if anyone can, big sam can. that sounds like a bumper sticker. get that on your car, leeds fans. liverpool managerjurgen klopp�*s been charged by the fa after suggesting referee paul tierney had something against his team. he was furious with the officials and was criticised for the manner he approached the fourth official celebrating liverpool's winner against tottenham on sunday. he was so fired up he even tweaked his hamstring. a lot of course has been made over the treatment of referees by players and coaches in recent weeks

and the example it sets. are england handing australia an advantage ahead of this summer's ashes by allowing australian players to acclimatise to conditions here ahead of the start of the series? one of those, steve smith, has joined sussex, he'll play three matches for the county side before australia and england lock horns. let's be honest a man who doesn't need a helping hand, he plundered a huge number of runs the last time the ashes was staged here. so are england giving him a head start? i mean, it's — what? — my fourth time to play an ashes series in england, so i don't think the conditions are too foreign to me. you know, already batting from yesterday to today, i feel like, you know, i've already come to terms with the conditions, i suppose, in terms of the pace of wickets and things like that, so... so there's nothing you really need to learn. l i hope not — i mean, i've been around for a while now! you wonder what he will produce this summer. and i was wondering who picked the playlist on wrexham's open—top

bus parade last night. as the streets were cleared and the party contiued. the club's co—owners, ryan and rob, joined players and staff on three open—top buses that made their way through the city. they were also celebrating their women's team's promotion. but as the men look to a campaign in league two next year, in north wales the celebrations went into the night. and the turf pop there, i wonder how many beers they have shifted. i{finite many beers they have shifted. quite a few. i many beers they have shifted. quite a few- i bet — many beers they have shifted. quite a few. i bet takings _ many beers they have shifted. quite a few. i bet takings are _ many beers they have shifted. quite a few. i bet takings are up. - many beers they have shifted. quite a few. i bet takings are up. flying i a few. i bet takings are up. flying in from the _ a few. i bet takings are up. flying in from the states, _ a few. i bet takings are up. flying in from the states, all— a few. i bet takings are up. flying in from the states, all over - a few. i bet takings are up. flying in from the states, all over the i in from the states, all over the world. it in from the states, all over the world. , ., ., , in from the states, all over the world. ., , ., ., i world. it is a tourist attraction. i ima u ine world. it is a tourist attraction. i imagine they — world. it is a tourist attraction. i imagine they are _ world. it is a tourist attraction. i imagine they are reaping - world. it is a tourist attraction. i imagine they are reaping the i imagine they are reaping the benefits. so make all the benefits, thank you. shall we look outside? maybe not outside our window but that is a famous location, buckingham palace. blue skies, sunshine, light breeze.

some who stay largely dry. the biggest question, how quickly the rain arrives on saturday. we will keep you updated but things should be reasonably mild. out there this morning pretty chilly start, even though you have the sunshine in buckingham palace. as we have here in devizes. do not be filled, because some parts of the uk, temperatures a degree or two above freezing. they were one up now that the sun is overhead. always milder with the cloud and these are skies recently above northern ireland. alto stratus cloud, you can see the disc of the sun. but this cloud, it is linked into these weather fronts and they are drifting northwards and they will bring some rain at times in western scotland especially. for most, a dry day. the easiest where the isobars are tightly packed to the isobars are tightly packed to the south—west, could see wind touch 30 to 40 the south—west, could see wind touch 30 to a0 mph at times. away from that, breeze coming in from the south—east which will bring some cloud still across eastern counties of england and eastern scotland.

figures have patches of rain in central scotland into the highlands and western isles, especially through the afternoon. most will be dry, and warmest away from that breeze, away from eastern coast, could get to 17 or 18 degrees in western parts of england and wales, much as we did yesterday. tonight, rain at times and whether scotland also affecting orkney. may be fringing into shetland but away from that most will have a dry night. not quite as chilly as last night because the breeze will be stronger but still getting down to two to a degrees across some parts of eastern england as we head into tomorrow morning. tomorrow morning, some could wake up to heavy and thundery downpours, the channel islands, southwest in with especially. they will slowly, very slowly nudge northwards as we go through the day. devon and cornwall most from to them, the isles of scilly, then southern parts of wales. damp to begin with around orkney but slowly turning dry here, most of you will have a dry day with some sunshine. western scotland, parts of northern and eastern england, cool down the

east coast with rays of the sea. cooler than today, 17 or 18 inland. friday, showers will develop more widely on friday, some will be heavy and thundery, england, wales, northern ireland especially. scotland, some of the driest weather, especially to the north—west highlands and western isles but again cool in eastern scotland, breeze of the sea, a bit warmer to eastern parts of england, even with the showers. as i mentioned, there is the rain pushing in as we go through into saturday. more widely across england and wales. showers early doors sunday, clearing away and think should brighten up. the prospects for the coronation weekend does contain a bit of rain but i want to point out the temperature figures here. 1a to 18 degrees. if anything, degree or two above where we should be for the time of year so it shouldn't be as chilly as it was for the queen's back then. thank you very much. welcome. important _ thank you very much. welcome. important health _ thank you very much. welcome. important health story _ thank you very much. welcome. important health story now. - with around 90% cent of nhs dental

practices in england not accepting new adult patients, it can be hard to get an appointment. so when a dental surgery in norfolk started taking on new nhs patients, it's no surprise peoplejumped at the chance to sign up. this was the scene on kings lynn high street, where people started joining the queue four o'clock in the morning. one person in the queue estimated there were 300 people in line. they told us about their experience. i saw the advert, i think it was yesterday or the day before and i thought, right, well, they open at nine, so i'll go up there, say, quarter to nine, should be ok to get, like, get there in time. so i've got dropped off and i walked up and just saw

the massive queue and i was stood in the queue. i wasn't stood there very long because in the end ijust thought i'm not standing here because it's not going to happen. and i was chatting to a couple of people there and they were saying that people have been queuing from, like, four in the morning. it's not just a problem in kings lynn. a man from skegness who needed dental work told the bbc that the closest nhs dentist to him was two hours away in nottingham. there was problem with one of the top teeth at the back there. no other dentists around here would do it on nhs, which is totally wrong. and those practices should be, for want of a better expression, dragged into line to provide those services. because we've put into the pot all through us working lives and that access should be there. we're joined now by shawn charlwood from the british dental association. good morning. those pictures from king's lynn, stories from skegness. they are shocking and yet, from our inbox over the last few weeks, they are not really that surprising. are

you shocked and surprised any more when you hear about this? i am not. the are when you hear about this? i am not. they are very _ when you hear about this? i am not. they are very disturbing _ when you hear about this? i am not. they are very disturbing images - when you hear about this? i am not. they are very disturbing images and | they are very disturbing images and they are a sad reflection of the crisis in nhs dentistry which i know you have talked about previously on this programme. you have talked about previously on this programme-— you have talked about previously on this programme. remind us why there is this crisis you _ this programme. remind us why there is this crisis you talk _ this programme. remind us why there is this crisis you talk about. _ this programme. remind us why there is this crisis you talk about. why - is this crisis you talk about. why are so many dentists turning away from nhs work? the are so many dentists turning away from nhs work?— from nhs work? the crisis in nhs dentistry is _ from nhs work? the crisis in nhs dentistry is because _ from nhs work? the crisis in nhs dentistry is because there - from nhs work? the crisis in nhs dentistry is because there are - from nhs work? the crisis in nhs dentistry is because there are not| dentistry is because there are not enough nhs dentists working within the nhs. and that is because the contract, the nhs contract, that dentists are working in, has been unfit for purpose for over a decade. i was at a select committee a few weeks ago and last year and it was described as unfit for purpose. and the funding package around nhs dentistry has in essence been stagnant for over a decade. only enough nhs dentistry is commissioned for broadly 50% of the population. so the scenes we have just seen our sad, disturbing, my sympathy goes

out to everybody in the queue. but thatis out to everybody in the queue. but that is in a wealthy 21st—century nation and nhs dentistry should be a core feature of the nhs. and the scenes you see today, they remind me of those images that were used to see in the soviet bloc, where people used to queue up for food and bread at a bakery, and frankly it is just not appropriate in 2023 in the uk. the government says we are working to improve access to nhs dental care by investing more than £3 billion a year. and they say to us in a statement, the department of health, that they reformed the contract you talked about to encourage more dentists to provide nhs treatment and they say there were 500 extra dentists delivering care last year, 500 more, than the year before. there is room for improvement but they seem to be suggesting things are getting better. thea;r they seem to be suggesting things are getting better.— are getting better. they talk a lot about the improvement _ are getting better. they talk a lot about the improvement of - are getting better. they talk a lot about the improvement of nhs i about the improvement of nhs dentistry but i don't think any of

your viewers are particularly seeing improvements, and the crisis seems to continue. i made the point at the select committee that this feels as though we are rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic while the nhs dental service slips slowly into the sea. and unless something is done very urgently and with ambition, rather than the tweaks to the current system that i think we have seen so far, my colleagues worry that this service will be lost for ever and we must do something now. the prime minister talked about nhs dentistry being a priority, and i hope that he will keep that promise. we heard from dick freeman in the clip and he said dentists should be dragged into line, effectively forced to take nhs patients. we sometimes hearfrom our viewers who think, i dentists being a bit greedy doing their private work that is more lucrative?— doing their private work that is more lucrative? no, the way the contract is _ more lucrative? no, the way the contract is set _ more lucrative? no, the way the contract is set up, _ more lucrative? no, the way the contract is set up, for _ more lucrative? no, the way the

contract is set up, for many - more lucrative? no, the way the contract is set up, for many of l more lucrative? no, the way the l contract is set up, for many of my colleagues it is completely financially unviable to deliver nhs dentistry within the contact as it is set up and that is why we are calling for a clear reform of the nhs contract and sustainable financial funding, nhs contract and sustainable financialfunding, and then nhs contract and sustainable financial funding, and then you will see nhs dentists returning to deliver care to your viewers again. you are obviously saying, you know, giving your opinion very firmly to the right people. you say you have given evidence already. how confident are you that people are listening to you? i confident are you that people are listening to you?— confident are you that people are listening to you? i think people are listening to you? i think people are listening to — listening to you? i think people are listening to this _ listening to you? i think people are listening to this crisis _ listening to you? i think people are listening to this crisis has - listening to you? i think people are listening to this crisis has been - listening to this crisis has been developing for over a decade, as i said. and you do get to a point where you want people to have ambition and agency is important and, frankly, the tweaks and the minor amendments we have seen to nhs dentistry will not stop colleagues leaving the nhs dental service and your viewers will continue to have problems accessing care. it needs urgency and ambition.— urgency and ambition. shawn charlwood — urgency and ambition. shawn charlwood from _ urgency and ambition. shawn charlwood from the - urgency and ambition. shawn charlwood from the pda, - urgency and ambition. shawn l charlwood from the pda, thank urgency and ambition. shawn - charlwood from the pda, thank you for coming in. thank you. —— from

in custody this morning on suspicion of murder, after a woman was fatally stabbed in brixton on monday. police said the 31—year—old victim was approached from behind at stockwell park walk. the met added there was currently no information to suggest she knew her attacker. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather. and a dry start with sunny spells for most. in the afternoon, sunshine will develop more widely with a top temperature of 16 degrees. there's much more on all of today's stories, including the build up to this weekend's coronation on the bbc news app and online. i'll be back in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines today. a man's arrested outside buckingham palace, just hours before hundreds of troops took part in a rehearsal for the king's coronation. clamping down on cold calling and spoof texts — plans are announced for a new strategy to tackle scammers. looking after the interests of a loved one when they can no longer do it for themselves. we look at the difficulties of getting power of attorney for families living with dementia.

in sport this morning, is there a return to the premier league for big sam? leeds united are set to sack managerjavi gracia and are in talks to appoint 68—year—old sam allardyce and it will be a chilly start for some, but plenty of sunshine for the vast majority. clarity is the only west of scotland. and here, rain later. i will have the full forecast. good morning. it's wednesday, 3rd may. a man has been arrested outside buckingham palace on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon. it happened yesterday evening, just hours before rehearsals for the coronation took place overnight. a controlled explosion was carried out following the incident, which is not being treated as terror—related. our reporter vincent mcaviney is live outside buckingham palace. what can you tell us about what

happened?— what can you tell us about what hauened? ~ , ., , happened? well, there is, of course, a ma'or happened? well, there is, of course, a major security _ happened? well, there is, of course, a major security operation _ happened? well, there is, of course, a major security operation in - happened? well, there is, of course, a major security operation in place i a major security operation in place in the capital this week. but this area, outside buckingham palace and the mall, is still open to members of the public. you may see people jogging of the public. you may see people jogging behind me. but last night at about 7pm, a man approached the front gates of the palace. he began throwing items through the fence into the ground. they were discovered to be shotgun cartridges. the police detained the man, searching him. they found he was carrying a knife, so arrested him. but he was also carrying a suspicious bag. they sealed off the area, clearing people out. they did area, clearing people out. they did a controlled detonation. we are told nobody was injured. even though you can see behind me the royal standard above buckingham palace, meaning the king is in residence, last night of the king and queen camilla were not in residence. the met say this was

not terrorism —related. they say it was a mental health incident. something that does happen quite often down here at the gates of buckingham palace. the events didn't interrupt the major rehearsal taking place overnight, with over 7000 service personnel, notjust from the uk come up with the commonwealth, who were going right through where i am now on that rehearsal down to westminster abbey. am now on that rehearsal down to westminsterabbey. here am now on that rehearsal down to westminster abbey. here is what it looked like. preparations for the biggest march of their lives. after weeks of practising separately, more than 7000 personnel from across the uk and commonwealth's armed forces came together overnight in central london to rehearse for saturday's processions to and from westminster abbey. soldiers, sailors, aviators and musicians from all three services will be joined by personnel from 3a nations and six overseas territories of the commonwealth. the smaller first procession

from buckingham palace to the abbey is called the king's procession. the king and queen consort travel by carriage down the mall, through admiralty arch to trafalgar square, then turn down whitehall and through parliament square to the abbey. the return coronation procession will follow the same route, but be much larger. it's been 70 years since a military ceremonial operation of this scale was put on for queen elizabeth ii's coronation. on that day, a four—year—old prince charles watched his own mother become sovereign, and has talked of his memories of the occasion. one of those taking part in the procession this time is captain jordan whiteman. he's received some advice from his grandfather, then sergeant charles white, who took part in the last coronation. before he passed he obviously talked about it in great detail with my mum and, you know, and the rest of the family. and what's been passed on is, you know, just remember, the nerves

will keep you sharp and your wits about you, but also, actually, don't forget to actually enjoy the moment and enjoy the day. it certainly is a once in a lifetime opportunity and it's very easy to sort of let it all fly by and not enjoy every possible moment of it. there will be more rehearsals over the next few days to help overcome any lingering nerves and ensure saturday's pageantry for their new commander in chief, king charles iii, impresses both him and a global audience of hundreds of millions. earlier on breakfast we spoke about last night's incident with the security minister tom tugendhat. we will hear from security minister tom tugendhat. we will hearfrom him in a moment. first, the major general in charge of the rehearsal we have just seen. he told us it didn't have that much impact on what he had to do overnight. it went very well, i was very pleased. the groups have come from all parts of the armed services, army, navy, air force, as well as

over a00 members of the commonwealth forces. it is the first time they have all been brought together on the streets, on the ground. it was a big test but it went very well. this was a fantastic _ big test but it went very well. this was a fantastic piece of policing by the officers on duty last night and i am very. — the officers on duty last night and i am very, very grateful to them for their— i am very, very grateful to them for their courage and the speed of their response _ their courage and the speed of their response i— their courage and the speed of their response. i think they have done a great _ response. i think they have done a great thing — response. i think they have done a great thing for the united kingdom. the reality is there's not much more i can— the reality is there's not much more i can add _ the reality is there's not much more i can add other than what you have reported — i can add other than what you have reported. this was an individual who threw— reported. this was an individual who threw shotgun shells over the wall, as it were — threw shotgun shells over the wall, as it were, or into the palace grounds, _ as it were, or into the palace grounds, and that is all i can tell you right — grounds, and that is all i can tell you right now. tom _ you right now. tom tugendhat. nurses are still threatening to go on strike in england, despite ministers agreeing to pay them a 5% pay increase. the royal college of nursing says the dispute is "far from over", with members being balloted later this month. our reporter robin brant has the latest. fair pay! when do we want it? now! the deal has raised hopes that days like these in the nhs could be coming to an end. 1a unions that represent nhs staff were involved

in yesterday's meeting. the majority were in favour of a pay offer in england. but doctors and nurses are still holding out. what the deal with the staff council shows is the willingness of the government to enter into meaningful, constructive negotiations with trade unions. that's what we have done with the agenda for change staff, covering more than a million nhs workers. the accepted offer involves a 5% increase this year, and a one—off payment of up to £3,789. the extra money should be in the pockets of more than one million nhs staff across england by next month. now the trusts who run the hospitals want to make sure it never happens again on this scale. we want to make sure there is constant ongoing dialogue, that the great work of nhs staff is absolutely recognised, that there is a really strong focus on the experience of staff in terms of the work that they do day in, day out.

the majority of nhs staff in england have accepted the new pay offer, but nurses are still set to ballot on further strike action. what i would say to the government today is, just be careful about over claiming this as a success and end to industrial action. the government knows only too well that nurses remain in dispute with this government. also, junior doctors do. and we have a number of health care workers that are represented by unite, including our ambulance workers and others, who remain in dispute. so this dispute is far from over. negotiations with junior doctors are yet to make any progress after their 35% increase demand. robin brant, bbc news. military factions fighting each other in sudan have agreed to another truce for a week starting tomorrow. the deal was announced by south sudan, which said the two sides had also agreed to name representatives for peace talks.

it comes after the uk government announced rescue flights will continue tomorrow. animal welfare campaigners will be in the high court later today trying to stop the rearing of fast—growing chickens. they're arguing the chickens — which have been genetically selected to grow fast and large to end up on supermarket shelves more quickly — sufferfrom health problems. the government says the animals are already protected by existing legislation. today's the last full day of campaigning before voters go to the polls in england's local elections. more than 8,000 seats are up for grabs at 230 councils. northern ireland will go to the polls on may 18th, but there are no elections in scotland and wales. our chief political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us from westminster. these results will be monitored very closely, won't they? thea;r these results will be monitored very closely, won't they?— closely, won't they? they will indeed. not _ closely, won't they? they will indeed. notjust _ closely, won't they? they will indeed. notjust because - closely, won't they? they will indeed. notjust because the| closely, won't they? they will - indeed. notjust because the local issues that we are all voting on

really matter, from potholes to parking to when your bins are collected, but this is the biggest test of electoral opinion before the next general election, in england anyway. a lot of people here in westminster will be watching it extremely closely to try and figure out what it tells us about who might win the general election, which will probably happen towards the latter half of next year. the big question is this. can keir starmer and the labour party show they're on track for power? opinion polls have suggested it for a while. this is the big test for keir starmer to try and show that is the case. labour's gains will be watched really closely. the conservatives are expecting to lose quite a lot of seeds, potentially hundreds. the big question they are asking themselves this morning is, can they limit some of the damage? some tory mps think that rishi sunak has been doing all right, actually. he has maybe given

them a fighting chance. they will be looking for some evidence of that in the results tomorrow. the lib dems want to make gains as well, particularly in the south of england and those tory heartlands. the greens think they are on track to make gains as well. it is a big test of opinion. it will really matter for testing the political waters. one other thing to mention is the fact that it is the first time you will need id in england when you turn up in the polling station. you will need a driving licence or a passport. there is a full list of what you need on the website. that is controversial. some people say it is controversial. some people say it is not necessary, it might stop people voting. others say it will limit fraud. it is the first time it is happening tomorrow. thank you. nick eardley. if you are heading to a polling station tomorrow, if you are heading to a street party at the weekend, you need to do with the weather is going to be like. matt will tell us. blue skies to start

with, at least. yes, indeed. good morning. when you have got the blue skies this morning it has been a chilly start. temperatures down to freezing in some parts of eastern scotland and is turning out. not sunny everywhere. different scenes further north. great conditions here in montrose on the east coast of scotland. it is in scotland where we could see a little bit of rain later. east—west split as far as ten which concerned. it is these eastern areas where it is still chilly, but temperatures have listed from the chilly start. it will be tempered by a breeze across the south of the country. making it feel quite cool. whilst we have some blue skies across england and wales, there are still some areas of cloud, especially towards eastern counties, further north. northern ireland, a bit more sunshine in the afternoon. central and north—western scotland, outbreaks of rain or drizzle for the second part of the day. heaviest across the western isles. winds lighter compared to the south.

strongest winds towards devon and cornwall. it is in the sunnier part of the west were we see the highest temperatures, 17 or 18. we finished the day across scotland with outbreaks of rain or drizzle. that will push on towards orkney. elsewhere, a drying out. partly clear skies. elsewhere, a drying out. partly clearskies. more elsewhere, a drying out. partly clear skies. more breeze tonight compared with last night. temperatures should not drop quite as much. a cool start tomorrow morning, especially in the south—east. then the prospect for the rest of the week, thursday dry for many, thundery showers in the south—west, and then coronation weekend is looking like there would be some rain at times. more details in half an hour. lots of --eole more details in half an hour. lots of people buying _ more details in half an hour. lots of people buying brollies for the weekend. thank you. we've been exploring the impact of dementia on those diagnosed with the condition and their loved ones. and many of you have shared your personal stories with us. one of the struggles that families face is receiving a lasting power of attorney.

that gives relatives the right to manage the legal affairs of someone with dementia and make decisions on their behalf. but obtaining that document isn't always easy, as nina has been finding out. talking about dementia matters, and it's brought my family a lot of comfort reading your stories. i've come to morecambe, wherejulie is reggie's full—time carer. it's like that, isn't it? that's it! i don't think so. that's perfect! laughter. we're very lucky — we've got the great wood behind us, so we've got lots of birds and we see lots of wildlife. she's also his power of attorney. but getting there wasn't easy. it was quite a complex process just getting the paperwork together. and then we sent it off, and there's a 20—week wait

for the whole process to go through the system. and they do inform the power of attorneys that they've been asked to become a power of attorney, and they could object — they've four weeks to object. so that's one of the reasons it's long, but also it'sjust because there's a huge amount of people applying at the moment. it's such a long time, isn't it? it is. and over that time, reggie might have been deteriorating and you're having to make more decisions. and then you rely on the goodwill of doctors, dentists, hospital consultants — whether they will speak to you on behalf of that person. definitely banks. the department for work and pensions won't speak to you. they are very, very strong about, if you haven't got a power of attorney, you cannot act on that person's behalf. so you had this gap of time... yes. ..waiting for the document, where reggie wasn't in a position to speak for himself. mm. so you were battling to speak on his behalf... yes, yeah. ..when he needed help. sometimes the doctor would call and he would say, "what's your name? " and make sure he's speaking to the right person,

and he might have a bad day, won't know his name, or maybe not his date of birth. so i would have to literally beg the doctor, "please can i speak on my husband's behalf?" and doesjulie look after you? yeah. julie look after me. i bet she can be quite bossy sometimes, can she, julie? yeah. you can be. laughter. it's ok. i think maybe go back to sri lanka! that's how bad it is! he's off tomorrow! and, actually, loads of you have had a similar experience. lots of your emails have been around how difficult it is, how frustrating it is, taking over the admin of someone else's life, and how much that makes a bad situation even worse. i really want to speak to charlotte because she emailed in saying, "my mum was diagnosed when i was six months pregnant.

i'm an only child. before work, i'd have to go in and check she'd had breakfast. during work, she'd call 20 times a day. and after work i'd go over to make sure she was safe and give her her dinner. there were more calls in the evening." and she talked about contacting the bank. she said, "on the phone, it was awful. they would want her to tell them her name and date of birth, of which she knew neither. and the worst thing was, she didn't believe she had dementia." thank you so much. no problem. oh, look, we're both in green! it's like we planned it. i mean, from the beginning, there was no support. there's. .. there's nothing. i'm an only child, my mum lives on her own, so it's just the two of us. but also, there's no support from anyone or anything. so the gp basically says — or the memory clinic says — "0k, your mum's got alzheimer's, here's some pills, here's some tablets, and we'll see you in a year's time." and mum obviously didn't...

decided she didn't have alzheimer's, kept throwing the tablets down the toilet. pfff, crazy things like that. i'd find tablets hidden under the sofa and i had to just try and keep everything going. calling up companies, trying to sort out bills, and they're saying things like, "oh, 0k, well, yeah, we can talk to you as her daughter, that's not a problem. if you could just put your mum on the line and i'll ask...questions." and i'll be like, "ok, you can put her on the line," but when mum gets asked what her date of birth is and what her address is, she's got no idea. it's astonishing, isn't it? because you're like, "the reason i'm calling is because this person doesn't have capacity. and yet you're asking for me to put that person on the phone." exactly. and then i'd, like, write things down for mum so she could read it. but it soon got to a point where she couldn't read things and it was... it was ridiculous. and then i would be speaking to the utilities or the bills or the people, and i don't

want to sit there and go, "look, my mum's got alzheimer's," because mum's sat next to me thinking she doesn't have alzheimer's. yeah. so then mum would go crazy — "i don't have alzheimer's! you're lying! it's all pretend!" so...i'm just stuck in this really awkward position of, on the phone to whoever — the utility company — mum declaring she doesn't have alzheimer's, the woman saying, "i just need to get her name and address." pff, yeah. charlotte, i was in exactly the same position — i remember trying to cancel his car insurance because he'd had his licence taken off him. they wanted to speak to him. i had a one—year—old on my knee. he kept saying, "what are they asking? what do they need to know?" and the sort of stress that that builds within you is enormous, isn't it? huge. it's huge. but what we found, and what charlotte found, was once the piles of paperwork were sorted, once the right care was in place, everything changed. if it's a loving care

home and it's the care — the right care home for them — it's the best place to be. because now — and i'm sure you're the same — i feel like the daughter again. yes! sorry. that is absolutely what me and my sisters have said — that we can be his kids again... yeah. ..and he can be our dad. the frustration and the stress have subsided. we think we've got part of our dad back. but should it have been that hard for us and for others? thank you for all your comments and questions that have come in. to talk more about this, we're nowjoined by solicitor melinda giles and sue clarke from the alzheimer's society.

7,000 personnel from all three of the armed forces came together for the first time ahead of saturday's events. hours earlier, a controlled explosion was carried out after a man threw what's thought to be shotgun cartridges into the grounds of the palace. the incident is not being treated as terror—related. a 33—year—old man remains in custody this morning on suspicion of murder after a woman was fatally stabbed in brixton on monday. police said the 31—year—old victim was approached from behind at stockwell park walk. the met added there was currently no information to suggest she knew her attacker. meanwhile a a5—year—old man's been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman in her 20s was reported missing from tower hamlets on sunday. officers are still searching for her, but say they believe she may have come in to harm. now, a school in north london has

been chosen to have a rather special unveiling this evening. broomfield school in enfield is among 15 from around the country chosen to have giant thrones designed by the children displayed at the tower of london. it's all part of a competition run by the royal historic palaces ahead of the king's coronation. it was really impressive how they decided to put their imagination into it and all the precise little details, i think, is what helped us win. eventually, it's going to go into the tower of london, where our students will be able to go and visit it, and eventually it will come to our school, where it will stay as a part of our history. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's no service between hainault and leytonstone via newbury park on the central line, and the district and hammersmith & city are all delayed or part suspended due to a fault near plaistow. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini.

hello, there, good morning. it's a fine and a dry day for us today across the capital, with a lot more sunshine than most of us saw yesterday. but with the skies pretty clear last night, it is a chilly start to this morning — temperatures for many having dropped back to low single figures. bit of early mist around, as well, but that shouldn't last for too long, and there will be plenty of sunshine around. staying dry with a brisk easterly wind — and you'll feel that, i think, towards eastern areas of town, where it's always going to feel a little cooler, a bit windier. temperatures round about the seasonal average — peaking between 13 and 16 degrees celsius. now, overnight tonight, the easterly wind will start to strengthen somewhat, and there will be some clear spells, but also watch out for a bit more cloud. it should stay dry. as we head into thursday, then, there will be more cloud around, but it should be dry for most of the day, and it will start to feel a bit warmer — temperatures now above the seasonal average. on friday, there could be some heavy, thundery downpours and possibly quite showery at times over the weekend.

i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. we said we would talk about banking security with you now. banking apps on mobile phones are not secure enough — that is according to the consumer organisation which? the latest figures from the trade association uk finance found that £15.7 million were reported lost to mobile banking fraud in the first half of 2022. this was because of unauthorised access via these apps, such as "shoulder surfing" — where criminals see the code to unlock someone's phone. meanwhile age uk say there should be more help for those who don't feel comfortable using online banking —

that's a0% of over—65s. and with more than 75% saying they prefer to handle their bank accounts in person at branches, the charity wants more high—street bank branches to be accessible. well, joining us on the sofa is harry kind from which?, and christopher brooks from age uk in westminster. harry, first of all, how vulnerable our banking apps on iphone? thea;t harry, first of all, how vulnerable our banking apps on iphone? they are incredibly vulnerable _ our banking apps on iphone? they are incredibly vulnerable and _ our banking apps on iphone? they are incredibly vulnerable and it _ our banking apps on iphone? they are incredibly vulnerable and it is - our banking apps on iphone? they are incredibly vulnerable and it is not - incredibly vulnerable and it is not the same with each bank. you would think they would all have a similar level of high security but our research has found it is a difference between fort knox and forward by i'd —— up for it boyard. may be used like someone's name the microphone from their pocket when they are going to watch a film so they are going to watch a film so they don't know it is missing. once you have hold of the phone you can reset passwords, transfer all of

reset passwords, tra nsfer all of someone's reset passwords, transfer all of someone's money into your own account, it may be locked the bank account, it may be locked the bank account altogether. it is really scary and banks should be doing more to make sure they have a higher level of security. we to make sure they have a higher level of security.— to make sure they have a higher level of security. we talk about the securi , level of security. we talk about the security. these _ level of security. we talk about the security, these protections, - level of security. we talk about the security, these protections, but i i security, these protections, but i was struck by that phrase shoulder surfing. sometimes it is as simple as someone peering over and see what we plug in. ii as someone peering over and see what we -lua in. ,, as someone peering over and see what we -lua in. y., ., as someone peering over and see what we -lua in. ., as someone peering over and see what we .lu. in, ., as someone peering over and see what we -lua in. ., ., we plug in. if you are lucky as a thief, we plug in. if you are lucky as a thief. say _ we plug in. if you are lucky as a thief. say i _ we plug in. if you are lucky as a thief. say i try _ we plug in. if you are lucky as a thief, say i try to _ we plug in. if you are lucky as a thief, say i try to steal - we plug in. if you are lucky as a thief, say i try to steal your - thief, say i try to steal your phone, i might have found you have the same password on your banking at as you did to unlock your phone and sometimes with insecure banking apps you only need a password of six characters to get in but you don't even need to know the password a lot of the time. if i can unlock your phone i can get a one—time password sent to your phone via text which will reset your password and then i can have access to your bank, and sometimes i can do that without even unlocking your phone and it is because the banks basically rely too heavily on sms as a secure way of

protecting your account, but frankly if someone has accessed your phone, they have stolen your phone, then all the security relying on text messages is useless because they are just sending fraud reports, new passwords to the scammer and they are very happy with that. christopher brooks, this will not reassure the many, many older people who are not comfortable with using banking apps anyway, willit that who are not comfortable with using banking apps anyway, willit- banking apps anyway, willit that is riiht banking apps anyway, willit that is ri . ht and banking apps anyway, willit that is right and we _ banking apps anyway, willit that is right and we know _ banking apps anyway, willit that is right and we know from _ banking apps anyway, willit that is right and we know from our - banking apps anyway, willit that is i right and we know from our research that about four in ten older people don't bank on line as it is. the main reason people are afraid to do so is because of the risk of scams and the lack of confidence in their own it skills. these kind of reports will make it even harder to persuade people to go online which i think means it is really important that the banks are thinking carefully about how they can support people and part of that is that they need to take more responsibility, so when there are instances of fraud it is easier to navigate your way through the system, report it, and get a

refund. and even we would like to see more emphasis put on prosecuting fraudsters, which at the moment is seriously under resourced part of the police force.— the police force. what about the lack of ranches, _ the police force. what about the lack of ranches, bank _ the police force. what about the lack of ranches, bank branches, | the police force. what about the i lack of ranches, bank branches, and high streets now? how much of the problem is that? it is high streets now? how much of the problem is that?— problem is that? it is a big problem- _ problem is that? it is a big problem. we _ problem is that? it is a big problem. we hear - problem is that? it is a big problem. we hear every i problem is that? it is a big i problem. we hear every week problem is that? it is a big - problem. we hear every week new reports of banks closing down their branches and every time that happens, every time the last branch in town closes it means that more and more older people, and we know three quarters of older people rely on physical banking services to manage their money, more and more people find it harder to do so. it means that they find it more difficult to access their finances, it can make it harder to buy things like essential goods and services, like essential goods and services, like your groceries, to go out and about in your community, take part in leisure activities, and it makes life really difficult and puts people at risk of being cut adrift from society. it has really serious

consequences, which is why we are calling on the banks to really speed up calling on the banks to really speed up the roll—out of the shared banking hubs which i think, in reality, are the future of banking, the future of physical banking services. we really need to see those coming out online a lot faster. ~ ., those coming out online a lot faster. ~' ., ., , faster. like it or not, we will be rel ini faster. like it or not, we will be relying on _ faster. like it or not, we will be relying on technology _ faster. like it or not, we will be relying on technology into - faster. like it or not, we will be relying on technology into the l relying on technology into the future, probably more than in person banks, harry. let's get it useful and helpful, what can people do to protect themselves, to minimise the risk? . , , , ., risk? there are three settings you can change _ risk? there are three settings you can change in _ risk? there are three settings you can change in your _ risk? there are three settings you can change in your phones - risk? there are three settings you can change in your phones to - risk? there are three settings you can change in your phones to get| can change in your phones to get extra security. the first thing you should be turning on is sim pin. we have password to unlock our phone but the sim card can have a password attached to it, which means that if i were to steal your phone but find it is locked, i cannotjust take the sim card out and put it in my own unlocked phone and have access to your mobile number. very simple to do, it will be in your security settings and it will be under sim pin or a sim lock, you'll need to

something, if anybody has an inkling at something suspicious is having us on a map using their account, the first thing to do is get in touch with your bank and please call the bank using the number on your bank card because that is the actual number, not a card because that is the actual number, nota number of card because that is the actual number, not a number of scam it might have given you. it is worthwhile taking as much care as you can to protect your money because the consequences of it going wrong can be really serious for people and life changing for some people. it is really important and good to see more emphasis on tackling scams but there will always be people at risk so it is really important the banks and government and everybody is thinking really hard about how we can protect people the best. , .,, �* ., ., hard about how we can protect people the best. , .,, �* ., the best. christopher brooks from aie the best. christopher brooks from ae uk the best. christopher brooks from age uk and _ the best. christopher brooks from age uk and harry _ the best. christopher brooks from age uk and harry kind _ the best. christopher brooks from age uk and harry kind from - the best. christopher brooks from i age uk and harry kind from which? thank you very much for coming in. we will put those tips on our social media. . , , ~ , we will put those tips on our social media. ,, , , . , ., we will put those tips on our social media. . , , ~ , ., ,. we will put those tips on our social media. ,, , , . , ., ., media. super use. why do you have

sacking this season — the highest in any top—flight season. arsenal are not out of the premier league title race just yet, despite that big defeat to manchester city last week. they beat chelsea. all arsenal's goals came in the first half — two from captain martin 0degaard, another from gabrieljesus. that leaves them two points clear of city, who have those games in hand, and play tonight. chelsea got a consolation, but it's six defeats in six for frank lampard. they're nine points off the relegation zone. that's everything that i want to see from our team — you know, full commitment, a lot of energy, quality, speed, movement, two beautiful goals. and we connected with our crowd and created an incredible atmosphere again. we wanted to earn the right to be top of the league tonight again — we are. and we have to be happy. we're where we are, but not accepting because it's not end up

and we want to achieve that. we were too nice to play- against in all aspects in the first half, and in the second half we played more like - a team that has a... a threat at the top end of the pitch. i that's a collective when i say that — runs from wide - areas, runs from central. and in the first half we weren't... we were easy to play against. how valuable where the points amassed at the start of the season under thomas to call? chelsea could have been in the relegation zone otherwise. liverpool managerjurgen klopp's been charged by the fa, after suggesting referee paul tierney had something against his team. he was furious with the officials and was criticised for the manner he approached the fourth official, celebrating liverpool's winner against tottenham on sunday. he was so fired up he even tweaked his hamstring. a lot has been made over the treatment of referees by players and coaches in recent weeks and the example it sets. and the streets were cleared, the shirts and scarves were back on,

and i'm sure the beer was flowing at the turf pub in wrexham as the club celebrated their success with an open—top bus parade last night. the club's co—owners, ryan and rob, joined players and staff on three open—top buses that made their way through the city. they were also celebrating their women's team's promotion. but as the men look to a campaign in league two next year, in north wales the celebrations went into the night. and why not? great, right? crowning them to the season as the players i'm sure are enjoying that and the they have to come, little end of season celebration. i they have to come, little end of season celebration.— they have to come, little end of season celebration. i don't think the are season celebration. i don't think they are awake _ season celebration. i don't think they are awake yet, _ season celebration. i don't think they are awake yet, do - season celebration. i don't think they are awake yet, do you - season celebration. i don't think| they are awake yet, do you think they are awake yet, do you think they are awake yet, do you think they are all fast asleep? i they are awake yet, do you think they are all fast asleep?- they are all fast asleep? i don't think so, they are all fast asleep? i don't think so. you — they are all fast asleep? i don't think so, you would _ they are all fast asleep? i don't think so, you would power - they are all fast asleep? i don't i think so, you would power three. they are all fast asleep? i don't - think so, you would power three. may be. think so, you would power three. may be- straight — think so, you would power three. may be- straight on _ think so, you would power three. may be. straight on the _ think so, you would power three. may be. straight on the bus _ think so, you would power three. may be. straight on the bus to _ think so, you would power three. may be. straight on the bus to the - be. straight on the bus to the airort be. straight on the bus to the airport and — be. straight on the bus to the airport and now _ be. straight on the bus to the airport and now las _ be. straight on the bus to the airport and now las vegas. i l be. straight on the bus to the i airport and now las vegas. i will have what _ airport and now las vegas. i will have what they _ airport and now las vegas. i will have what they are _ airport and now las vegas. i will have what they are having, - airport and now las vegas. i will have what they are having, i - airport and now las vegas. i will have what they are having, i think. thank— have what they are having, i think. thank you — have what they are having, i think. thank you very much indeed.

you might remember earlier on the programme we told a story about a man who has been collecting old tech items for years — and his dying wish is to keep his incredible vintage collection alive after he's gone. we've asked you to share with us your old tech items at home and here are some pictures. paul has sent us a picture of his walkman, which he bought nearly 27 years ago. he still has —— it still works and he has the pencil there. do you remember when they were replaced with compact disc man?— with compact disc man? discman?! yes, and with compact disc man? discman?! yes. and every _ with compact disc man? discman?! yes, and every time _ with compact disc man? discman?! yes, and every time you _ with compact disc man? discman?! yes, and every time you walked i with compact disc man? discman?! yes, and every time you walked it | yes, and every time you walked it jumped, it was rubbish. nation asks, what is a compact disc?! what else do we have? meanwhile here is gerry's double decker for recording video to video. ididn't i didn't have anything like this are. . , , i didn't have anything like this are. ., , , .

is cloudy further north, this is the view in central scotland. grey skies, could bring a light rain or drizzle later. but skies will gradually brighten into the afternoon. the reason we have got more cloud in scotland is these weather fronts very close by and the closer you are to them, particularly the westernised, greater chance of rain at times through today. heavy bursts. we could see a line of drizzle develop towards glasgow, edinburgh, laterthis drizzle develop towards glasgow, edinburgh, later this morning, drizzle develop towards glasgow, edinburgh, laterthis morning, and it will drift northwards. scotland, simmons college in brighton, northern ireland has more sunshine this afternoon than at the moment. very hard with sunny spells for england and wales. quite a breeze to the south—west, that will temper the feel of things. 30 to a0 mph gust. in the sunshine across western parts of england and wales, up to 18 degrees. much like yesterday. tonight, rain and drizzle across the forehead of scotland pushes towards orkney, southern parts of shetland, but most of you will have a dry night. they could be a few flashes of lightning to the verify south—west later. more of a breeze

tonight, not quite as cold as last night but temperatures are still widely into mid single figures. one or two spots as low as 2 degrees across central and eastern england as we start tomorrow morning. the weather fronts towards the south—west on thursday gradually pushing in, slow progress but it means the channel islands, especially devon, cornwall, eyes of silly will have heavy showers which will drift into some southern wales. the smack of the isles of scilly. with the breeze most notable around the eastern coast, a cool day, eight to 11 degrees. higher temperatures on thursday down to the south, may be around 18 degrees here. a mild day for many on friday, away from the north of scotland, very breezy day to come. england, wales, northern ireland, heavy and slow moving showers quite widely. they will be quite a downpour. but in the sunny moments between them, temperatures should be up to 17 or 18 degrees. and then if you heavier

eye on the correlation we can, two things to look out for. one weather system pushing for saturday, another approaching as we go into the start of monday. but in between it means if you have any plans to celebrate the coronation this weekend, sunday could be the better of the two days. some will stay completely dry. saturday will turn wetter because many areas, especially england and wales. monday, lots of heavy showers first thing. more particularly. we'll keep a close eye on all of that. the good news is that throughout the weekend it should not be too chilly and certainly not as chilly as it was for the queen's coronation. back to you. thank you. there's been so much speculation over who could play james bond in the next film, after daniel craig gave up the role two years ago. now we can tell you... no, we can't.

laughter spoiler alert — we still don't know. but while we wait for news on the next 007, a timely new novel about the spy is about to be published. it's been written by charlie higson and celebrates the coronation of king charles. charlie is here with us now. good morning. good morning to you. you have written _ good morning. good morning to you. you have written this _ good morning. good morning to you. you have written this rather - you have written this rather quickly. i you have written this rather iuickl . . ., quickly. i have! the ian fleming estate to look _ quickly. i have! the ian fleming estate to look after _ quickly. i have! the ian fleming estate to look after the - quickly. i have! the ian fleming estate to look after the books i quickly. i have! the ian fleming i estate to look after the books and this year have published a whole new set of books to celebrate 70 years of james set of books to celebrate 70 years ofjames bond, they thought, oh, the come in the nation is coming, we should do something and realised it was —— the coronation is coming up. then they realised it was 60 years since the publication of on her majesty's secret service. they approached me and asked if i could write something on his majesty's secret service. i started in march and it will be in the shops on thursday which is quite extraordinary.- thursday which is quite extraordinary. thursday which is quite extraordina . ., ., extraordinary. how does that compare with our extraordinary. how does that compare with your normal _ extraordinary. how does that compare with your normal schedule? _ extraordinary. how does that compare with your normal schedule? it - extraordinary. how does that compare with your normal schedule? it is - extraordinary. how does that compare with your normal schedule? it is two i with your normal schedule? it is two ears from with your normal schedule? it is two years from sitting — with your normal schedule? it is two years from sitting down _ with your normal schedule? it is two years from sitting down until- with your normal schedule? it is two years from sitting down until it - years from sitting down until it gets in the shops, so to turn it around in that time... it was originally meant to be a short story
