it's thursday, the 4th of may. our main story. russia launched a wave of air strikes on the ukrainian city of kyiv early this morning — the largest attack on the capital this year. the country's military described it as a "comprehensive air strike" with more reports of explosions in zaporizhzhia and the black sea port of odesa. the strikes come after the kremlin said it might retaliate for what it claimed was an attempt to assassinate president putin, with a drone strike on the kremlin. ukrainians officials have denied that _ flying in from the left, what appears to be a drone, then an explosion over the kremlin. this footage is unverified, but the kremlin says that early on wednesday morning, two drones targeted the residence of the president. moscow was quick to blame ukraine, claiming they were downed by defences and that no—one was injured. on russian state tv, a dramatic interpretation on this talk show yesterday. the presenter announced breaking news. "there's been an attempt," he says, "to assassinate president putin." president zelensky, on a visit to finland, denies any ukrainian involvement. we don't attack putin or moscow.

we fight on our territory. we are defending our villages and cities. we don't have, you know, enough weapons for this. in daylight, there was no obvious signs of damage to the kremlin, but lots of questions still. who launched the drones? with what aim? was this an internal operation, or even a false flag event? whatever narrative moscow pursues, the united states has urged caution. first, i've seen the reports. i can't in any way validate them. we simply... we simply don't know. second, i would take anything coming out of the kremlin with a very large shaker of salt. last weekend, russia accused ukraine of launching a drone strike on a fuel depot in russian—occupied crimea. days later, bombs detonated and derailed two freight trains in a part of russia near the ukrainian border.

citing security concerns, several russian regions have now cancelled military parades planned for may the 9th — victory day when russians mark the defeat of nazi germany. for now, the kremlin continues to insist that the big red square parade in moscow will go ahead despite last night's explosions. unusually, though, red square has been closed to the public since the end of april, reflecting perhaps a sense of wariness. whatever actually did happen above the kremlin, supposedly one of the most secure seats of power in the world, it's likely to intensify this conflict. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. we're joined now by our correspondent, hugo bachega, who's in kyiv. good morning to you. tell us a little more about the strikes in kyiv overnight. also i understand there have been explosions

elsewhere. there have been explosions elsewhere-— there have been explosions elsewhere. ., ., , elsewhere. good morning. it was the fourth attack on the capital in the weekend. it is described as a comprehensive air strike with missiles and iranians made drones russia has been using in this war. local authorities are saying all drones were intercepted by the country's air defence systems and there were no casualties. we heard there were no casualties. we heard the air raid alert at around half past two in the morning and it lasted for three and a half hours. a very long state of alert here in the capital this morning. i havejust had an update from the ukrainian military, saying 2a drones had been fired by russia and 18 were destroyed by air defence systems. again this shows how important air defence has been here in protecting ukrainian towns and cities. there

had been reports of explosions or attacks also in the regions of odesa and separation in the south of the country. this comes hours after allegations made by the kremlin yesterday that ukraine was behind the alleged drone attack with the ukrainians trying to assassinate president putin, something officials here in kyiv have disputed. a spokesperson for president zelensky said this allegation was likely to be used by the kremlin as a pretext to launch a large—scale attack on the country. to launch a large-scale attack on the country-— millions of people are expected to take part in council elections across most parts of england today. more than 8,000 council seats are being contested and, for the first time in england, voters will need to show a valid photo id before casting their ballot. a 13—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of shooting dead eight children and a security guard at a school in serbia.

police claim the teenager had been planning the attack in the capital, belgrade, for a month. three days of national mourning have been declared. bethany bell reports. a 13—year—old boy is led away by police. he's the main suspect in a mass shooting at one of the best state schools in belgrade. he came to school with two guns. he fired at the security guard and three girls standing in the hallway. "i was walking up the stairs and while i was walking up, i could hear a sound. and i thought it was maybe boys, some kids throwing firecrackers and that they were having fun. but then i could hear it closer, and the sound was coming from in front of the school. and then i saw the security guard falling to the ground. so i quickly ran from where i was. i didn't want to go upstairs anymore. i didn't know who was up there." he then walked into a history class where he shot the teacher before turning his weapon on his fellow students. parents rushed to the scene, waiting

in agony for news of their children. police say the shooter planned the attack a month in advance and had drawn up a list of children to target. officials say the suspect is alleged to have used two guns belonging to his father. his father has now been arrested, his mother is also in detention. at 13, the suspect is younger than the age of criminal responsibility in serbia. but serbia's president says he'll be placed in a specialist psychiatric facility. people have been coming to pay their respects to those who were shot. there's a deep sense of shock and sadness here. this is normally a lively part of town, but the people who live here say it's never felt so quiet. they're struggling to understand how a day at school turned into a nightmare. with candles and flowers,

this city is mourning its dead. bethany bell, bbc news, belgrade. the final uk evacuation flight has now left sudan, the government has announced. the foreign office said the last flight had left port sudan and that no more would be running. more than 2,000 people have been rescued during the airlift, which began amid a fragile ceasefire last week. scientists say a new drug has been shown to slow the pace of alzheimer's by around a third. those who took donanemab (pron: in trials were able to do more in their daily lives, such as discussing current events, drive or pursue hobbies. it's the second medicine in under a year to raise hopes of an effective treatment

through donations and endowments worth tens of millions of pounds in today's money. the paper also has a picture of the british tennis star emma raducanu recovering from hand surgery. sadly, she's going to miss the french open and wimbledon this year. we will talk to mike about that later on. this is information about how much fish and chips cost now. the value of fish and chips, apparently, across the year is £12 billion worth. that is what we buy. the cost of fish and chips is now on average over £9. it has increased by average over £9. it has increased by a fifth very recently. the cost of the meal rose by 19% this year to

march and on average it was £7.56 a year ago and now on average £9. basically it is fairly obvious months. the price of potatoes, a kilo of potatoes costs 27% more than a year ago and it has gone up by a quarter. the cost of oil, of course, thatis quarter. the cost of oil, of course, that is the big one, it has gone up more than 50% in the past year. people are paying a lot more. £9 for fish and chips. people are paying a lot more. £9 for fish and chips-— fish and chips. that is substantial. i will take your _ fish and chips. that is substantial. i will take your fish _ fish and chips. that is substantial. i will take your fish and _ fish and chips. that is substantial. i will take your fish and chips - fish and chips. that is substantial. i will take your fish and chips and | i will take your fish and chips and racy with champagne if we are talking about fish and chips. have you heard about surfactants? ha. you heard about surfactants? no. there had been _ you heard about surfactants? no. there had been research into the

was a choreographer. and he looked at us and he wanted us to sort of do sort of dance steps. when you look at us, you will see that wasn't a possibility. so we did swaying to the music. a little old beetle goes round and round, always the same way as he, until it ends up right up tight to the nail. poor old thing. lesley mackie was just out of drama school when she was cast as schoolgirl daisy pringle. to get into this film that seemed like another world entirely with christopher lee and edward woodward. and i had this scene in the schoolroom saying, you know, three lines. and then because i got singing at a party, i ended up with two songs, the one that britt ekland does a sexy dance to. five, six, seven, eight. over the years, the film has acquired cult status and inspired other shows, like this comedy musical.

it's being re—released in cinemas this summer, starting with newton stewart, where it was first screened 50 years ago as a thank you to the local community, who supported its making. and fans worldwide continue to visit locations, often in costume. i love bringing the costumes to the locations. it's lovely meeting other fans and seeing that they actually recognise that and it's just bringing these characters back to life. it's 50 years on, you know, we should be celebrating this fantastic movie and all the things it's brought to us. and how else to mark the anniversary of the strange horror film but with the burning of a wicker man? a little smaller than the original, but no less spectacular. 50 years on, it may look as if the wicker man is fizzling out. but, with two films in the offing, two books and a new festival, interest is still sparking. pauline mclean reporting.

whenever i see that, it really does give me the chills. i remember seeing it. it is a great film that is horrible. the imagery, that shot you saw, the whole thing isn't it? as part of the coronation celebrations, people are being encouraged to volunteer their time in what's being called the big help out, on bank holiday monday. 0ur reporter fi lamdin is with a food charity in east london this morning to find out how they're taking part. morning to you. i know this charity normally does quite a lot but it will push even more for the big help 0ut. will push even more for the big help out. , ., , ., ., , out. they had started early. normally — out. they had started early. normally they _ out. they had started early. normally they make - out. they had started early. normally they make 3000 l out. they had started early. - normally they make 3000 meals each day. today they will do 5000. let's meet charlotte who is busy chopping. how many hours this morning? beaten

coronation — after last—minute talks over pay broke down. members of the unite union will walk out for a total of six days this month. heathrow airport says it wont let what it calls �*unnecessary strikes' disrupt passengerjourneys and says it has contingency plans. the met police says it's considering using facial recognition technology as part of its work to keep the capital safe during the coronation. it says the security operation— known as golden 0rb— is one of the most significant in its history — and will involve 29,000 officers over this week. they include the met�*s mounted branch some of whom will be leading the procession on saturday. our main concern is what happens on that processional route in front of us which might compromise the route all the safety of people, but we have so many police and military and partners that are working on it to make sure everybody has a lovely day and that it's very, very safe and we don't have any issues.

meanwhile big ben was lit up last night with a series of projections to mark the king's coronation.images are being projected and it features the words of the national anthem and the coronation emblem. a rehearsal took place last night and projections are due every night from thursday to sunday at around 8.30pm until 11pm. it's a tall order — literally. a london based biscuit making company is making 100 thousand hand iced biscuits for the coronation. that's the plan at least — with each one capturing different traditions. they've created designs featuring guards and gowns — as well as corgis and crowns — all in royal colours. the company has a long standing tradition of marking royal occassions. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. all running well. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a dry and bright start this morning. largely dry through the course of today.

sunny as well, but it will be quite breezy, a south—easterly rather blustery wind, similar to yesterday. we will see more cloud through the afternoon turning the sunshine hazy but as the thick cloud arrives towards the evening, we run the risk of one or two showers. temperatures are warm today, 20 celsius the maximum potential in the south—east. 0vernight we will see some clear spells, quite a bit of cloud around but also the chance of some heavy showers and it will be mild with a minimum between nine and 12. for friday, low pressure in charge so heavy, thundery showers and into the bank holiday weekend low pressure again in charge and flinging fronts towards is coming from the south—west so it's not going to be a dry day on saturday. some heavy and persistent rain, rather overcast for sunday with some sunshine and the chance of one or two sharp showers and it's going to stay largely unsettled not only through the weekend but into bank holiday monday. that's it — if you want to know all the details of the route for the king;s coronation this weekend and other details head to our wensite.

we'll see you in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. in around half an hour, the oil and gas company shell is expected to announce more big profits. hannah's looking at this for us this morning. and we had bp announcing results earlier this week.— earlier this week. yes, these fi . ures earlier this week. yes, these figures are — earlier this week. yes, these figures are always _ earlier this week. yes, these i figures are always controversial. energy producers made record amounts of money last year, as fuel bills surged. shell made a profit of over 30 billion pounds — that's double the year before and the highest in its 115—year history. it's notjust shell — oil and gas giant bp also doubled its profits last year, making 23 billion pounds. we found out earlier this week that in the first three months of this

year alone it made a £4 billion profit — though that was slightly down on last year. why? well increased demand for energy after lockdowns meant large oil and gas producers could charge more — in turn pushing up the cost of our energy at home. they soared higher after russia invaded ukraine. experts say energy costs are now falling — and expect those massive profits to fall too. and its expected that the cost of our energy bills will start to go down. we'll find out some more detail from shell at around 7am, when we'll see the company's profits for the first three months of this year. these figures always in the spotlight because they are so close to home, as people have seen their bills go up. to home, as people have seen their bills go up— bills go up. absolutely. hannah, thank ou bills go up. absolutely. hannah, thank you very _ bills go up. absolutely. hannah, thank you very much _ bills go up. absolutely. hannah, thank you very much and - bills go up. absolutely. hannah, thank you very much and see i bills go up. absolutely. hannah, | thank you very much and see you bills go up. absolutely. hannah, i thank you very much and see you at seven. now for the sport. we always like to hear about records being broken. so explain this one.

of the season, moves him past alan shearer and andy cole's previous best of 34. and he's done it in fewer matches. all in his debut season in english football too. there seems to be no stopping the norwegian, who's only 22. and with five games left, and his next one against the city where he was born, leeds, who have the worst defence, goodness knows how many he add to his tally by the end of the season? you can see how much it meant to him, and his team mates — who gave him a guard of honour after the game. incredible, 22 years old, so still five games left. how many times i make _ five games left. how many times i make a _ five games left. how many times i make a substitution after a hahrick— make a substitution after a hat—trick or 60 minutes or maybe he would _ hat—trick or 60 minutes or maybe he would have _ hat—trick or 60 minutes or maybe he would have scored more but maybe he would _ would have scored more but maybe he would get _ would have scored more but maybe he would get injured and his body has to be _ would get injured and his body has to be all— would get injured and his body has to be all the time like a watch. but incredible — to be all the time like a watch. but incredible. congratulations to him and for— incredible. congratulations to him and for all— incredible. congratulations to him and for all of the team to help him to achieve — and for all of the team to help him to achieve it. and, yeah, it's

really— to achieve it. and, yeah, it's really good to have him. liverpool boosted their hopes of qualifying for the champions league with a narrow 1—0 win against fulham at anfield. the key moment came in the first half when issa diop was adjudged to have fouled darwin nunez, conceding a penalty in the process. mohamed salah scored the resulting spot kick which means liverpool are four points behind manchester united but have played two games more than erik ten hag's team who face brighton tonight. just as it is in the premier league, it's a tight title—race in the women's super league too — chelsea nowjust four points off leaders manchester united with two games in hand. they beat liverpool 2—1 last night, coming from behind before this late winnerfrom sam kerr. afterwards, manager emma hayes admitted her side had to overcome the disappointment of last week's champions league semi—final exit to barcelona. it's been a season like no other, and now sam allardyce is back in the premier league — leeds united are throwing the dice one last time

as they try to avoid relegation. hiring the man sometimes nicknamed "fireman sam" has just four games, to try and save the yorkshire giants. and it is not going to be easy, manchester city up first. but allardyce is no stranger to relegation battles as patrick geary reports. it is some footballing journey that starts with marcelo bielsa and ends 15 months and three coaches later with sam allardyce. it's been a while. but with their only direction seemingly down, leeds have turned to football's survival expert. far too many people think that i'm old and antiquated, which is so far from truth. i might be 68 and look old but there is nobody, nobody ahead of me in football terms. not pep, not klopp, not arteta. so it's all there with me. leeds have opted for one of english football's best known quantities. allardyce's managerial career

spans 30 years taking in a remarkable spell at bolton. oh, what a goal! a team with its own unique rhythm. he managed four more premier league clubs before being rewarded with his dream job, the england job. he lasted one game before resigning amid a scandal. since then at crystal palace and everton, he became known as a troubleshooter, buoying up sinking ships. now leeds have sent up the distress signal. it can't be any worse than what they had in the past. results count, don't they? i think he'll sort out - whatever issues we've got in the dressing room and then fight, like. | i think it has to be worth a go because i think the current situation is untenable. when marcelo bielsa took them back to the premier league in 2020, leeds were held up as an example. cutting edge, thrilling football took them to the top of the table. but last season results faded and bielsa left. jesse marsch helped

them scrape survival but he went too in february. javi gracia's time was brief and brutal. leeds no longer seem a club marching on together. i was there at bournemouth on sunday and it looked like the players were broken. you know, the body language, the shoulders were down, there was no togetherness, and i think that's why there had to be a change made, but, you know, it is an enormous task now. sam allardyce's strategy lies in clarity. stripping football to its fundamentals. but he must work quickly. leeds only have four games left. this may be big sam's biggest yet shortestjob of all. patrick geary, bbc news. certainly getting a lot of attention that he is better than pep and klopp. and he responded saying he is right, because of his experience. he said there is no one ahead of me, he didn't say better.— didn't say better. well, yes, you're absolutely right. _ didn't say better. well, yes, you're absolutely right. the _ didn't say better. well, yes, you're absolutely right. the gist _ didn't say better. well, yes, you're absolutely right. the gist was i didn't say better. well, yes, you're absolutely right. the gist was that l absolutely right. the gist was that no one is like me. pep guardiola

says he is right but in terms of experience, there is neil warnock doing a good job rescuing huddersfield in his mid—705 and roy hodgson at crystal palace in his 70s. 50 hodgson at crystal palace in his 705, ., hodgson at crystal palace in his 70s. ., , ., 70s. so late in the season though. that is unusual. _ 70s. so late in the season though. that is unusual. in _ 70s. so late in the season though. that is unusual. in previous - 70s. so late in the season though. that is unusual. in previous times| that is unusual. in previous times he's that is unusual. in previous times has coming _ that is unusual. in previous times has coming to — that is unusual. in previous times he's coming to firefighter- that is unusual. in previous times he's coming to firefighter and i that is unusual. in previous times he's coming to firefighter and has| he's coming to firefighter and has had more time, but four games seems like a tall order, especially with the fixtures leeds have got coming up the fixtures leeds have got coming up with manchester city next. liam livingstone hit a hatrick of sixes against his england teammatejofra archer in the indian premier league. the allrounder has been sidelined with injury for almost four months, but looked in excellent form as he hit three sixes in a row as he posted 82 not out. archer finishing with the most costly t20 figures of his career — the crowd enjoying this display. but livingstone's punjab kings couldn't manage the win overthe mumbai indians, losing by six wickets.

some big news from the world of golf. lee westwood and ian poulter are among four players who cannot now play in this year's ryder cup after resigning from the dp world tour. they did this, because of a 100 thousand pound fine, that was imposed on them for playing in the breakaway liv golf tournament last summer. the players said they had no option, even though it has cost them their ryder cup places. westwood and poulter have starred in a number of famous ryder cup victories for team europe, while sergio garcia and richard bland will be missing from the usa team.westwood called it "a sad day" according to the daily telegraph. it's been a rollercoaster couple of years for emma raducanu — from the heady heights of winning the us open aged just 18, to stuggling with injuries. well now she has undergone surgery, which means she will miss wilbledon this summer. she posted this photo on her social media accounts from her hospital bed, still smiling — along with a handwritten note that says it �*pains her�* to miss this summer's events. she has had surgery on one wrist, and will have further surgery

on the other wrist and on her ankle. raducanu has struggled for form and been hampered by injuries ever since that fairytale victory in september 2021, that catapulted her into the international spotlight. she is set to drop out of the top 100 in the world rankings next week and is likely to be replaced as british number. we wish her all the very best in her recovery. iam i am struck by how neat the handwriting is. how rare it is to see a handwritten note these days, but that is incredible. $1150 but that is incredible. also meticulous, _ but that is incredible. also meticulous, because i but that is incredible. also meticulous, because it's i but that is incredible. also i meticulous, because it's not but that is incredible. i"r meticulous, because it's notjoined up, so it's very consistent. that's what i was kind of mesmerised by. tt what i was kind of mesmerised by. it was good to see her smiling and hopefully this can be a line in terms of her career with all the trouble she has had in the last three years including tonsillitis, rolling an ankle, and covid on the ongoing risk problem. $5 rolling an ankle, and covid on the ongoing risk problem.— ongoing risk problem. as you say, 21. you ongoing risk problem. as you say, 21- you have _ ongoing risk problem. as you say, 21. you have to _ ongoing risk problem. as you say, 21. you have to get _ ongoing risk problem. as you say, 21. you have to get fully _ ongoing risk problem. as you say, 21. you have to get fully fit. i ongoing risk problem. as you say, 21. you have to get fully fit. you l 21. you have to get fully fit. you aet ve 21. you have to get fully fit. you get very young _ 21. you have to get fully fit. you get very young players - 21. you have to get fully fit. you get very young players who i 21. you have to get fully fit. you get very young players who do l 21. you have to get fully fit. you i get very young players who do very well very young but 21, every chance

a billion and a half. and yeah, so there was a time where it really looked like we were going to lose everything. we had 50, 60 planes all on the ground and the health clubs all closed, the hotels all closed. and the worst would have been 60,000 people out on the streets. but personally, i was fortunate in that our kids managed to get to the island and our grandkids got to the island. and so although i experienced maybe a couple of months of what people must feel when they're pretty low, and i'd never experienced that before my life. do you mean that for the first time in your life you were depressed? yeah, i was certainly, certainly a little depressed. your reputation took a bit of a hit during that early phase in the pandemic because senior members of your team had written to the government saying that they needed hundreds of millions of pounds in a government loan to save the company and save your airline.

and yet there was coverage, people saying, hang on, branson is a billionaire. he lives on an island in the caribbean. you know, surely he can find the money. i'd never really had any coverage, quite as painful as that. really? and it's complicated, so it's difficult to explain to people when everybody�*s hurting. i mean, there were pretty well no families that weren't hurting. but what we were concerned to do was try to get government support, not gifts from government, but underwriting loans. in the early days of his career, sir richard used glamour and publicity stunts as part of virgin's marketing. when you look back at some of those campaigns, does some of that stuff make you wince? or do you just think it was fit for the time? it would make me wince if i felt the women would be were uncomfortable at all. i don't think that i ever made anybody feel uncomfortable. it was just in those days... in those days, it made them smile.

like kate moss, for instance. she laughed. she knew what was coming. but today, obviously, you know, i would be i think people would feel uncomfortable with something like that. so it's changed. now at 72, sir richard says he discusses succession planning with his family, but he's still in control of the virgin group and he's still competitive as ever. it's not checkmate yet. amol rajan, bbc news, miami. you can see the full interview tonight at 7 on bbc2 — and it's available now on bbc iplayer. let's ta ke let's take a look at the weather. i'm not sure we are at miami levels. it looked pretty nice over there. but this looks stunning and lots of people, we are out and about ahead of the coronation, people think about the weekend. is it going to be about the weekend. is it going to be a rainy one? are you looking? t a rainy one? are you looking? 1 think the best thing to say is a rainy one? are you looking? t think the best thing to say is make preparations for some rain in the

forecast this weekend. always have a plan b up your sleeve is my best advice and it's going to be a little bit wetter at times compared to this morning with a lovely start in dumfries and galloway and our weather watcher sent it in half an hour ago so for many another dry day today, bright, breezy and stronger winds than we have seen through recent days but there will be some rain pushing into the south—west which comes from this clump of cloud. a lot of cloud across the uk but a lot of it is high based cloud so hazy sunshine but there is something a cloud in 0rkney and this is where we have light rain and drizzle to start the day which will slowly brighten up but staying fairly cloudy. a lot of cloud through eastern scotland and north—east england and it will feel colder with the breeze around. sunny spells elsewhere and a bit hazy in places but showers and thunderstorms developing towards the channel islands, south—west england and south wales as we go through the late morning into the afternoon. the breeze today comes in from the east and that will make a big impact to the temperatures across parts of

eastern scotland and north—east england and come away from that some of the best of the hazy sunshine in the midlands or southeast, we could hit 19 or 20 but the price to pay will be for those suffering from hay fever, the high pollen levels across england and wales especially. tonight if you are camping out, bear in mind there could be some showers around, some of them heavy and thundery, starting in the south—west and south wales and pushing north and south wales and pushing north and may be into southern scotland and may be into southern scotland and northern ireland by the end of the night. a cool night for the north of scotland but elsewhere milder than recent nights and temperatures in double figures to start friday morning that a lot of cloud on friday with showers around, particular through northern england and northern ireland first thing and then some showers will break out widely and some of them heavy and thundery and in between the showers we will see some sunshine and some of those seeing more sunshine and showers admittedly, so the driest weather is rather cool here, particularly exposed to the easterly wind but further south pretty mild in the sunshine comes out between

the downpours and then we head into the downpours and then we head into the weekend and watching this weather system just creeping its way in, it's that across england and wales that will have a bit of an impact, bringing outbreaks of rain initially towards wales on the southwest and southern england and that will push north. the rain will be on and off and there will be heavier burst mixed in into the afternoon and even across parts of scotland and northern ireland. again, a fairly mild day, so that's the one crumb of comfort if you are heading into london tojoin the one crumb of comfort if you are heading into london to join the celebrations. it's not going to be cold out there but there will be rain at times on and off and that will be the story across the rest of the uk for saturday but into sunday one of the drier days and if you wish i was around before we see more heavy downpours on monday. that's how it's looking. t heavy downpours on monday. that's how it's looking.— how it's looking. i don't like the weather, how it's looking. i don't like the weather. but — how it's looking. i don't like the weather, but i _ how it's looking. i don't like the weather, but i like _ how it's looking. i don't like the weather, but i like the - how it's looking. i don't like the weather, but i like the bunting. | weather, but i like the bunting. thanks very much. we do have an idea of the timetable for the coronation. the day will begin when the couple leave buckingham palace in the morning and make their way

to westminster abbey, where the ceremony will take place. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell has been to see the route the procession will take. the route will be a familiar one past some of london's most famous landmarks. and for the king and queen consort, the most significant 1.3 miles they will ever travel. along the way, the flags have been raised and finishing touches added for a ceremonial event not seen in this country for seven decades. on saturday morning, 4,000 specially invited veterans, nhs and social care workers seated here will get the first glimpse of the king and the queen consort as they depart buckingham palace through the centre gates at 10:20am. the couple will travel in the diamond jubilee state coach. its electric windows,

air conditioning and hydraulic stabilisers should make for a bump—free comfyjourney. there will be space for tens of thousands of people to pack the pavements and watch as the processions pass by. but the advice is to get here early, not least because people are already camping out to make sure they're at the front. in terms of public transport, well, there will be alterations and closures, so check before you travel. the king's procession, complete with military escort, will head up the mall through admiralty arch, then will pass along the south side of trafalgar square, down whitehall around parliament square and finishing at the abbey, arriving just before 11:00. this has been the location for coronations since 1066. king charles's will take around two hours. and so, not long after 1:00, the coronation procession back to buckingham palace will begin.

just as queen elizabeth did in 1953, the newly crowned king and queen will travel in the gold state coach. 70 years ago, the late queen's return trip was more than four miles long, taking in oxford street and regent street. on saturday, the couple will return the way they came along whitehall and the mail. it will, however, be a much grander procession back involving 4,000 service personnel. once the procession is over, the mall will be reopened, allowing the crowds to surge forward at 230. the raf will perform the coronation flypast with the king and the queen watching on from the buckingham palace balcony. sarah campbell, bbc news. you can watch coverage of the coronation on bbc one, bbc two and bbc iplayer from 7.30am on saturday away from the formal ceremonies of the coronation weekend, people are being encouraged to volunteer their time on monday

the met police says it's considering using facial recognition technology, as part of its work to keep the capital safe during the coronation. it says the security operation — known as golden orb — is one of the most significant in its history and will involve 29,000 officers over this week. they include the met�*s mounted branch— some of whom will be leading the procession on saturday. our main concern is what happens on that processional route in front of us which might compromise the route or the safety of people, but we have so many police and military and partners that are working on it to make sure everybody has a lovely day and that it's very, very safe and we don't have any issues. over a50 recipients of the british empire medal willjoin the coronation congregation in westminster abbey this coming saturday. the medal recognises service to the community.

20 celsius the maximum potentially in the south—east. overnight we will see some clear spells, quite a bit of cloud around but also the chance of some heavy showers and it will be mild with a minimum between nine and i2. for friday, low pressure in charge so heavy, thundery showers and into the bank holiday weekend low pressure again in charge and flinging fronts towards is coming from the south—west so it's not going to be a dry day on saturday. some heavy and persistent rain, rather overcast for sunday with some sunshine and the chance of one or two sharp showers and it's going to stay largely unsettled not only through the weekend but into bank holiday monday. if you want to know the details for the route you can head to the website. see you soon. goodbye.

a drone strike on the kremlin — something ukrainian officials have denied. vincent mcaviney reports. flying in from the left, what appears to be a drone, then an explosion over the kremlin. this footage is unverified, but the kremlin says that early on wednesday morning, two drones targeted the residence of the president. moscow was quick to blame ukraine, claiming they were downed by defences and that no—one was injured. on russian state tv, a dramatic interpretation on this talk show yesterday. the presenter announced breaking news. "there's been an attempt," he says, "to assassinate president putin." president zelensky, on a visit to finland, denies any ukrainian involvement. we don't attack putin or moscow. we fight on our territory. we are defending our villages and cities. we don't have, you know, enough weapons for this. in daylight, there was no obvious signs of damage to the kremlin, but lots of questions still.

who launched the drones? with what aim? was this an internal operation, or even a false flag event? whatever narrative moscow pursues, the united states has urged caution. first, i've seen the reports. i can't in any way validate them. we simply... we simply don't know. second, i would take anything coming out of the kremlin with a very large shaker of salt. last weekend, russia accused ukraine of launching a drone strike on a fuel depot in russian—occupied crimea. days later, bombs detonated and derailed two freight trains in a part of russia near the ukrainian border. citing security concerns, several russian regions have now cancelled military parades planned for may the 9th — victory day when russians mark the defeat of nazi germany. for now, the kremlin continues to insist that the big red square

parade in moscow will go ahead despite last night's explosions. unusually, though, red square has been closed to the public since the end of april, reflecting perhaps a sense of wariness. whatever actually did happen above the kremlin, supposedly one of the most secure seats of power in the world, it's likely to intensify this conflict. overnight another oil refinery in southern russia has been attacked by a drone and is ablaze according to russian media. explosions had been heard tonight in several ukrainian cities, including kyiv. the military administration called it a comprehensive air strike with missiles and iranians made drones. it is the largest attack on the capital of the year. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. we're joined now by our

correspondent hugo bachega, who's good morning. it was the fourth attack on the capital of the weekend. it is described as a comprehensive air strike with missiles and iranian—made drones russia has been using in this war. local authorities are saying all drones were intercepted by the country's air defence systems and there were no casualties. we heard the air raid alert at around half past two in the morning and it lasted for three and a half hours. a very long state of alert here in the capital this morning. we have just had an update from the ukrainian military, saying 2a drones had been fired by russia and 18 were destroyed by air defence systems. again, this shows how important air defence has been here in protecting ukrainian towns and cities. there have been reports

of explosions or attacks also in the regions of odesa and zaporizhzhia in the south of the country. this comes hours after allegations made by the kremlin yesterday that ukraine was behind the alleged drone attack on the kremlin with the ukrainians trying to assassinate president putin, something officials here in kyiv have disputed. a spokesperson for president zelensky said this allegation was likely to be used by the kremlin as a pretext to launch a large—scale attack on the country. energy giant shell has just announced how much money its made in the first few months of this year. hannah's looking at this and joins us now. we ca re we care about this because we look at big energy companies making profits and we are feeling the pinch in terms of energy prices we are

quite soon, some people might say not soon enough. the energy regulator will be making an announcement on the price cap and the amount people pay at home later this month. how people feel the impact of this, we can expect an update. this will make some people very angry. update. this will make some people ve an: . , . ~' update. this will make some people ve an: . , . millions of people are expected to take part in council elections across most parts of england today. more than 8,000 council seats are being contested, and for the first time in england voters will need to show a valid photo id before casting their ballot. a 13—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of shooting dead eight children and a security guard at a school in serbia. police claim the teenager had been planning the attack, in the capital belgrade, for a month. three days of national mourning have been declared. bethany bell reports.

the serbian president says he will be placed in a secure psychiatric facility. his parents have both been detained and the police allege he used two of his father's guns, which had legal permits to carry out this attack will stop meanwhile, there are several people who were injured who are still in hospital, some of them with critical injuries. three days of national mourning have been declared, starting from tomorrow. this is really a country in shock and very, very deep sadness. thank ou ve and very, very deep sadness. thank you very much- _ scientists say a new drug has been shown to slow the pace of alzheimer's by around a third. those who took donanemab in trials were able to do more in their daily lives, such as discussing current events, drive or pursue hobbies. it's the second medicine in under a year to raise hopes of an effective treatment for the disease.

thunderstorms in the south—west of england and wales as well. away from that it will be dry in the afternoon. still remaining rather grey and also quite cool on the east coast of scotland and north—east england. a stronger breeze coming off a chilly north sea. that will impact on the temperature can only eight, nine for a impact on the temperature can only eight, nine fora milder impact on the temperature can only eight, nine for a milder night to come in the south. they will see showers and thunderstorms pushing north across many parts of the country. the full forecast as we go into the bank holiday coronation weekend later in the programme. thank you. from a week today international air travellers will no longer have to show proof of covid vaccination when arriving in the us. the us has one of the few remaining pandemic travel restrictions still in place, with the lift coinciding with the end of the coronavirus public health

emergency in the country. simon calder, the independent�*s travel correspondent, joins us now from heathrow. good morning to you. take us through the detail. the date we are looking at is the 11th of may, a week today. it is. that is when america's public health emergency will officially end. it will not be until friday the 12th of may, over a week tomorrow, before people from the uk who have not been vaccinated against coronavirus will be able to travel there. i have calculated, it will be 38 months, over three years, since anybody who was unvaccinated has been allowed to visit the us on holiday, on a family visit or on business. that is because it was the 14th of march 2020 when president trump said nobody from britain can come in. that was not released until november 2021, come in. that was not released until november2021, it come in. that was not released until

november 2021, it was 20 months later. a further 18 months in which america has said, if you are going to travel to the us, you have to be fully vaccinated. it is going to be a very exciting time for a lot of people, particularly if they have loved ones in america and interesting to check the booking for flights a week tomorrow. i see that in london to new york return has gone up to over £800, seemingly a reflection of demand to get to the us as soon as people plan. part of the unknown _ us as soon as people plan. part of the unknown part— us as soon as people plan. part of the unknown part of— us as soon as people plan. part of the unknown part of this _ us as soon as people plan. part of the unknown part of this equation | us as soon as people plan. part of. the unknown part of this equation is just how many people have been. to hold off going because they are not vaccinated. the hold off going because they are not vaccinated. ,., �* , vaccinated. the uk government's covid dashboard, _ vaccinated. the uk government's covid dashboard, which _ vaccinated. the uk government's covid dashboard, which is - vaccinated. the uk government's covid dashboard, which is still i covid dashboard, which is still going, tells me that about 12% of the population over 12 has not been vaccinated. i calculate that is

around 7 million people who will now be eligible to travel to the us. imagine, that is the same population roughly as the whole island of ireland suddenly being able to go. i think we will see a mix initially of a lot of people who have just been desperate to go and for whatever reason are not vaccinated and we will assess the demand building for holidays, whether new york, florida, california. that will have an effect on both prices and availability of everything from airline seats to mental powers and hotels when you get there. mental powers and hotels when you aet there. ., get there. one individual, it attracted — get there. one individual, it attracted a _ get there. one individual, it attracted a lot _ get there. one individual, it attracted a lot of _ get there. one individual, it attracted a lot of attention i get there. one individual, it i attracted a lot of attention when the ban was in place, novak djokovic, their tennis player, could not go to the us to take part in the us open. that is one example of someone who now will be able to go. know that djokovic famously has missed a number of key tournaments

four are unaffected. it seems to be fairly calm. the fast track option is closed for executive travellers and on top of that we are also seeing there will possibly be a bit less catering because the security staff also check msi deliveries. going fairly smoothly. there are signs warning industrial action could slow things down at security and british airways have warned passengers overnight not to turn up too early, two hours before european flights and three hours before the long haulflights. as an extra bonus by people can check in cabin baggage if they want to free of charge. where are you going? are you going somewhere? i where are you going? are you going somewhere?— somewhere? i am not travelling at the moment _ somewhere? i am not travelling at the moment that _ somewhere? i am not travelling at the moment that saturday - somewhere? i am not travelling at the moment that saturday will i somewhere? i am not travelling at the moment that saturday will be i somewhere? i am not travelling at| the moment that saturday will be a really good day to get some cheap flights. lots of people watching a coronation. if you are hoping to fly

what it calls "unnecessary strikes" disrupt passengerjourneys and says it has contingency plans. the met police says it's considering using facial recognition technology, as part of its work to keep the capital safe during the coronation. it says the security operation — known as golden orb — is one of the most significant in its history and will involve 29,000 officers over this week. they include the met�*s mounted branch, some of whom will be leading the procession on saturday. our main concern is what happens on that processional route in front of us which might compromise the route or the safety of people, but we have so many police and military and partners that are working on it to make sure everybody has a lovely day and that it's very, very safe and we don't have any issues. meanwhile big ben was lit up last night with a series over a50 recipients of the british empire medal willjoin the coronation congregation in westminster abbey this coming saturday. the medal recognises service to the community.

claire won hers for helping bring tougher puncishment for those who abused shop staff during the covid lockdowns. you don't expect someone normal to be invited. it is great what they had done. it has made people want to watch it more. meanwhile, big ben was lit up last night with a series of projections to mark the king's coronation. images of the national flowers of all four home nations are being projected amd it features the words of the national anthem and the coronation emblem. a rehearsal took place last night — projections are due every night from thursday to sunday at around 8.30pm until 11pm. let's take a look at the tubes now. all lines appear to be running well this morning. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a dry and bright start this morning. largely dry through the course of today. sunny as well, but it will be quite breezy, a south—easterly rather blustery

wind, similar to yesterday. we will see more cloud through the afternoon turning the sunshine hazy but as the thick cloud arrives towards the evening, we run the risk of one or two showers. temperatures are warm today, 20 celsius the maximum potentially in the south—east. overnight we will see some clear spells, quite a bit of cloud around but also the chance of some heavy showers and it will be mild with a minimum between nine and i2. for friday, low pressure in charge so heavy, thundery showers and into the bank holiday weekend low pressure again in charge and flinging fronts towards is coming from the south—west so it's not going to be a dry day on saturday. some heavy and persistent rain, rather overcast for sunday with some sunshine and the chance of one or two sharp showers and it's going to stay largely unsettled not only through the weekend but into bank holiday monday. that's it — if you want to know all the details of the route for the king's coronation this weekend and other details head to our wensite. we'll see you in half an hour.

champions league semi—final exit to barcelona. there's nothing like age and experience this season, when it comes to rescuing teams and sam allardyce is hoping to do at leeds, what roy hodsgon has done at crystal palace, and neil warnock has done at huddersfield, and galvanise the players into fighting off relegation.. but �*big sam' hasjust four games, to guide leeds to safety — and it is a tough run in, with just the small task of facing manchester city first. followed by newcastle, west ham and spurs. leeds only outside the relegation zone on goal difference. but allardyce is no stranger to relegation battles and certainly confident. far too many people think that i am old and antiquated, which is so far from the truth. i might be 68 and look old, but there is nobody ahead of me. in football terms. not pep, not klopp, not arteta. so, it's all there with me and i share it with

she has undergone surgery which means she will miss wimbledon this summer. she posted this photo on her social media accounts, from her hospital bed, still smiling — along with a handwritten note that says it �*pains her�* to miss this summer's events. she has had surgery on one wrist, and will have further surgery on the other wrist, and on her ankle. raducanu has struggled for form and been hampered by injuries ever since that fairytale victory in september 2021. this friday marks the 50th anniversary of one of football's most remarkable success stories. if you're a sunderland fan, may the 5th, 1973 is a date you will remember. it's the day the 250—1 outsiders beat the mighty leeds united to win the fa cup. let's take a look back on that day — with the help of some fans who were there — and some who weren't. music

was an attempt to assassinate president putin with a drone strike on the kremlin — something ukrainian officials have denied. vincent mcaviney reports. flying in from the left, what appears to be a drone, then an explosion over the kremlin. this footage is unverified, but the kremlin says that early on wednesday morning, two drones targeted the residence of the president. moscow was quick to blame ukraine, claiming they were downed by defences and that no—one was injured. on russian state tv, a dramatic interpretation on this talk show yesterday. the presenter announced breaking news. "there's been an attempt," he says, "to assassinate president putin." president zelensky, on a visit to finland, denies any ukrainian involvement. we don't attack putin or moscow. we fight on our territory. we are defending our villages and cities. we don't have, you know,

enough weapons for this. in daylight, there was no obvious signs of damage to the kremlin, but lots of questions still. who launched the drones? with what aim? was this an internal operation, or even a false flag event? whatever narrative moscow pursues, the united states has urged caution. first, i've seen the reports. i can't in any way validate them. we simply... we simply don't know. second, i would take anything coming out of the kremlin with a very large shaker of salt. last weekend, russia accused ukraine of launching a drone strike on a fuel depot in russian—occupied crimea. days later, bombs detonated and derailed two freight trains in a part of russia near the ukrainian border. citing security concerns, several russian regions have now cancelled military parades planned for may the 9th — victory day when russians mark

the defeat of nazi germany. for now, the kremlin continues to insist that the big red square parade in moscow will go ahead despite last night's explosions. unusually, though, red square has been closed to the public since the end of april, reflecting perhaps a sense of wariness. whatever actually did happen above the kremlin, supposedly one of the most secure seats of power in the world, it's likely to intensify this conflict. overnight, another oil refinery in southern russia has been attacked by a drone and is ablaze, according to russian state media. in an apparent response, explosions have been heard tonight in several ukrainian cities, including kyiv. the military administration called it a comprehensive air strike with missiles and iranians made drones.

it is the largest attack on the capital since the start of the year. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. we'rejoined now by our russia editor, steve rosenberg, who's in moscow. what do we know? there was no obvious damage to the kremlin. what details do we have and what efforts are being made to find that out? there is a lot we do not know. we know what the kremlin is saying, this is a ukrainian drone attack in the two drones penetrated the kremlin complex with a aim of assassinating president putin. this does not really look like an assassination attempt. even russian television last night said these kind of drones could not parry enough explosives to create substantial damage and it was more likely to be an attackjust for show. that begs the question, what was it? who was behind it? was it ukraine trying to send a message to president putin that wherever you

are, we can reach you. ukraine has denied that. was it the work of russian partisans or russian authorities, or elements of the russian security services? some kind of false flag operation to be used as a pretext to escalate the war. we simply do not know. that as a pretext to escalate the war. we simply do not know.— simply do not know. that is still bein: simply do not know. that is still being investigated _ simply do not know. that is still being investigated and - simply do not know. that is still being investigated and then i simply do not know. that is still being investigated and then we | simply do not know. that is still- being investigated and then we saw the fire at the oil refinery as well. we think we had some unverified pictures of that. tell us more. ., , unverified pictures of that. tell us more. . , , unverified pictures of that. tell us more. , ., more. over the last few days and weeks, more. over the last few days and weeks. there _ more. over the last few days and weeks, there have _ more. over the last few days and weeks, there have been - more. over the last few days and weeks, there have been a - more. over the last few days and weeks, there have been a string | more. over the last few days and i weeks, there have been a string of drone attacks on various installations including fuel depots installations including fuel depots in part of russia close to the border with ukraine. that increases the sense of uneasiness and nervousness here in russia in the run—up to victory day, the big national holiday on may the 9th celebrating the soviet defeat of nazi germany. quite a few russian

regions have cancelled their traditional military parades, the made night parades, citing security concerns. as far as we know that the parade in moscow will go ahead on maiden night in red square but there is a sense of uneasiness. —— on the 9th of may. in is a sense of uneasiness. -- on the 9th of may-— 9th of may. in terms of tone, what has the reaction _ 9th of may. in terms of tone, what has the reaction being? _ 9th of may. in terms of tone, what has the reaction being? what i 9th of may. in terms of tone, what has the reaction being? what is i has the reaction being? what is interesting. _ has the reaction being? what is interesting. i — has the reaction being? what is interesting, i watched - has the reaction being? what is interesting, i watched the i has the reaction being? what is interesting, i watched the mainj has the reaction being? what is i interesting, i watched the main news bulletins on russian state television yesterday, the drone attack on the kremlin was the top story on both. neither showed images that went round the world of explosions over the kremlin, which i thought was really interesting and perhaps that is because that image of an attack on the kremlin is quite embarrassing for the kremlin. when

you think the kremlin, in the seat of russian power, one of the most heavily protected complexes in the world may have been penetrated by a couple of drones packed with explosives. despite the air defence systems and the jamming equipment to prevent this kind of thing from happening, if it is true a couple of ukrainian drones got through to carry out an attack, it is hugely embarrassing for the russian authorities. ads, embarrassing for the russian authorities.— embarrassing for the russian authorities. �* , ., authorities. a huge insight into the media and what _ authorities. a huge insight into the media and what is _ authorities. a huge insight into the media and what is being _ authorities. a huge insight into the media and what is being shown i authorities. a huge insight into the media and what is being shown in i media and what is being shown in russia as well. thank you for that analysis. millions of people are expected to take part in council elections across most parts of england today. more than 8,000 council seats are being contested, and for the first time in england voters will need to show a valid photo id before casting their ballot. a 13—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of shooting

dead eight children and a security guard at a school in serbia. police claim the teenager had been planning the attack, in the capital belgrade, for a month. three days of national mourning have been declared. bethany bell reports. a 13—year—old boy is led away by police. he's the main suspect in a mass shooting at one of the best state schools in belgrade. he came to school with two guns. he fired at the security guard and three girls standing in the hallway. "i was walking up the stairs and while i was walking up, i could hear a sound. and i thought it was maybe boys, some kids throwing firecrackers and that they were having fun. but then i could hear it closer, and the sound was coming from in front of the school. and then i saw the security guard falling to the ground. so i quickly ran from where i was. i didn't want to go upstairs anymore. i didn't know who was up there." he then walked into a history class where he shot the teacher before turning his weapon on his fellow students. parents rushed to the scene, waiting in agony for news of their children.

police say the shooter planned the attack a month in advance and had drawn up a list of children to target. officials say the suspect is alleged to have used two guns belonging to his father. his father has now been arrested, his mother is also in detention. at 13, the suspect is younger than the age of criminal responsibility in serbia. but serbia's president says he'll be placed in a specialist psychiatric facility. people have been coming to pay their respects to those who were shot. there's a deep sense of shock and sadness here. this is normally a lively part of town, but the people who live here say it's never felt so quiet. they're struggling to understand how a day at school turned into a nightmare. with candles and flowers, this city is mourning its dead. bethany bell, bbc news, belgrade.

to keep the capital safe during the coronation. it says the security operation — known as golden orb — is one of the most significant in its history and will involve 29,000 officers over this week. they include the met�*s mounted branch some of whom will be leading the procession on saturday. our main concern is what happens on that processional route in front of us which might compromise the route or the safety of people, but we have so many police and military and partners that are working on it to make sure everybody has a lovely day and that it's very, very safe and we don't have any issues. meanwhile big ben was [it up last night with a series of projections to mark the king's coronation. images of the national flowers of all four home nations are being projected and it features the words of the national anthem and the coronation emblem. a rehearsal took place last night— projections are due every night from thursday to sunday at around 8.30pm until 11pm. let's take a look at the tubes now.

there's a good service on the tubes this morning with all lines running well. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a dry and bright start this morning. largely dry through the course of today. sunny as well, but it will be quite breezy, a south—easterly rather blustery wind, similar to yesterday. we will see more cloud through the afternoon turning the sunshine hazy but as the thick cloud arrives towards the evening, we run the risk of one or two showers. temperatures are warm today, 20 celsius the maximum potentially in the south—east. overnight we will see some clear spells, quite a bit of cloud around but also the chance of some heavy showers and it will be mild with a minimum between nine and i2. for friday, low pressure in charge so heavy, thundery showers and into the bank holiday weekend low pressure again in charge and flinging fronts towards is coming from the south—west so it's not going to be a dry day on saturday. some heavy and persistent rain, rather overcast for sunday with some sunshine and the chance of one or two sharp showers and it's

going to stay largely unsettled not only through the weekend but into bank holiday monday. that's it. if you want to know all the details of the route for the king's coronation this weekend and other details head to our website. we'll see you in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the oil and gas company shell has announced bigger than expected profits for the first three months of this year. hannah's looking at the details for us this morning. inevitably this comes with a caution, because people will think why they are paying this and these profits are being made. talk us through the numbers.— profits are being made. talk us through the numbers. yes, a note of caution that— through the numbers. yes, a note of caution that these _ through the numbers. yes, a note of caution that these are _ through the numbers. yes, a note of caution that these are global- caution that these are global profits— caution that these are global profits made around the world, but energy— profits made around the world, but energy producers have been making record _ energy producers have been making record amounts of money. shell

is. the man himself says he doesn't think about records and last night said he was just going home to play video games and sleep, even though he has now scored the most goals in a premier league season — as manchester city beat west ham 3—0 to go back to top of the table. this goal, his 35th of the season, moves him past alan shearer and andy cole's previous best of 3a and he's done it in fewer matches. there seems to be no stopping the norweigan, who's only 22. and with 5 games left, and his next one against the city where he was born, leeds, who have the worst 22 years old, and how many times i made _ 22 years old, and how many times i made a _ 22 years old, and how many times i made a substitution when he had a hat-trick_ made a substitution when he had a hat—trick after 60 minutes and he might— hat—trick after 60 minutes and he might have — hat—trick after 60 minutes and he might have scored more but maybe he would _ might have scored more but maybe he would get _ might have scored more but maybe he would get injured but he is special and his— would get injured but he is special and his body has to be all the time like a _ and his body has to be all the time like a watch, but incredible. congratulations to him, for all of the team —

'big sam' hasjust four games to guide leeds to safety — and it is not going to be easy, manchester city up first. but allardyce is no stranger to relegation battles.

as patrick geary reports. it is some footballing journey that starts with marcelo bielsa and ends 15 months and three coaches later with sam allardyce. it's been a while. but with their only direction seemingly down, leeds have turned to football's survival expert. far too many people think that i'm old and antiquated, which is so far from the truth. i might be 68 and look old but there is nobody, nobody ahead of me in football terms. not pep, not klopp, not arteta. so it's all there with me. leeds have opted for one of english football's best known quantities. allardyce's managerial career spans 30 years taking in a remarkable spell at bolton. oh, what a goal! a team with its own unique rhythm. he managed four more premier league clubs before being rewarded with his dream job, the england job. he lasted one game before

resigning amid a scandal. since then at crystal palace and everton, he became known as a troubleshooter, buoying up sinking ships. now leeds have sent up the distress signal. it can't be any worse than what they had in the past. results count, don't they? i think he'll sort out - whatever issues we've got in the dressing room and then fight, like. | i think it has to be worth a go because i think the current situation is untenable. when marcelo bielsa took them back to the premier league in 2020, leeds were held up as an example. cutting edge, thrilling football took them to the top half of the table. but last season results faded and bielsa left. jesse marsch helped them scrape survival but he went too in february. javi gracia's time was brief and brutal. leeds no longer seem a club marching on together. i was there at bournemouth on sunday and it looked like the players were broken. you know, the body language, the shoulders were down, there was no togetherness, and i think that's why there had to be a change made, but, you know,

it is an enormous task now. sam allardyce's strategy lies in clarity. stripping football to its fundamentals. but he must work quickly. leeds only have four games left. this may be big sam's biggest yet shortestjob of all. patrick geary, bbc news. he certainly gets fired up, charlie, like you when you leave the building. it was sunderland when he performed a miracle, one of his best teams when he took them away from relegation. it teams when he took them away from rele i ation. . teams when he took them away from releiation. , ., ,. ., relegation. it will be fascinating to see what _ relegation. it will be fascinating to see what happens. _ relegation. it will be fascinating to see what happens. four- relegation. it will be fascinating i to see what happens. four players now cannot play in the ryder cup this year after resigning from the dp world tour.— this year after resigning from the dp world tour. , ., , .., , dp world tour. they did that because of a £100,000 — dp world tour. they did that because of a £100,000 fine _ dp world tour. they did that because of a £100,000 fine imposed - dp world tour. they did that because of a £100,000 fine imposed on i dp world tour. they did that because | of a £100,000 fine imposed on them for playing in the breakaway tournament last summer. westwood, ian poulter and sergio garcia have

all starred in the number of famous ryder cup victories for europe, while richard bland will also miss the chance of playing for europe now if he had been picked. after a rollercoaster couple of years for emma raducanu, she has undergone surgery, which means she will miss wimbledon this summer. she posted this photo on her social media accounts, from her hospital bed, still smiling — along with a handwritten note that says it 'pains her�* to miss this summer's events. she has had surgery on one wrist and will have further surgery on the other wrist, and on her ankle. raducanu has struggled for form and been hampered by injuries ever since that fairytale victory in september 2021. hopefully this will be a line in the sand and will reset her career, because she has had so many problems in the last six months with her wrist and it's affected our confidence and her whole mood around playing. she will only be 21 next summer and she will, for the moment,

she is likely to drop out of the world top 100 and it's likely she will be replaced as british number one, maybe today, byjodie burrage if she wins her match in france and a couple of hours away. but the london —— the world is still her oyster. i london -- the world is still her 0 ster. ., . london -- the world is still her 0 ster. ., ., oyster. i was looking away and lookini oyster. i was looking away and looking at _ oyster. i was looking away and looking at the _ oyster. i was looking away and looking at the graphic - oyster. i was looking away and looking at the graphic and i oyster. i was looking away and i looking at the graphic and thinking it was interesting to talk to mike about. it brings it home. i will hold disappear. what she has had to deal with the last two years. the dates are all marked out. the occasions upon which she has had to have physical problems to deal with and it's going back to january 2022, may, and all the way through september, and each timejust having another problem of some kind. it's incredible. ., , , incredible. good to see her smile and so nice _ incredible. good to see her smile and so nice to _ incredible. good to see her smile and so nice to see _ incredible. good to see her smile and so nice to see a _ incredible. good to see her smile and so nice to see a handwritten | and so nice to see a handwritten note. , , , , note. very impressed with the handwriting. _ note. very impressed with the handwriting. very _ note. very impressed with the handwriting. very impressed. | note. very impressed with the i handwriting. very impressed. mike, thank you very much.

sir richard branson is known for his promotional stunts and generally positive outlook — but he's revealed he feared he would lose his whole business empire during the pandemic. speaking to the bbc�*s amol rajan, the boss of the virgin group says the problems left him depressed for the first time in his life. let's take a look. hi. oh yes. he's had one of the most colourful careers in business from creating virgin records to setting up a trans—atlantic airline. from his new venture in the cruise line business to space travel. sir richard branson has been a survivor, but the pandemic left him fighting for his empire from his caribbean island. how much did you lose through the pandemic? did you lose a lot of money personally in trying to save your companies? so, the answer is yes. i mean, obviously it cost us a big percentage of our net worth, maybe a billion and a half. and yeah, so there was a time where it really looked like we were going to lose everything. we had 50, 60 planes all on the ground and the health clubs

all closed, the hotels all closed. and the worst would have been 60,000 people out on the streets. but personally, i was fortunate in that our kids managed to get to the island and our grandkids got to the island. and so although i experienced maybe a couple of months of what people must feel when they're pretty low, and i'd never experienced that before my life. do you mean that for the first time in your life you were depressed? yeah, i was certainly, certainly a little depressed. your reputation took a bit of a hit during that early phase in the pandemic because senior members of your team had written to the government saying that they needed hundreds of millions of pounds in a government loan to save the company and save your airline. and yet there was coverage, people saying, "hang on, branson is a billionaire." "he lives on an island

in the caribbean." you know, surely he can find the money. i'd never really had any coverage quite as painful as that. really? and it's complicated, so it's difficult to explain to people when everybody�*s hurting. i mean, there were pretty well no families that weren't hurting. but what we were concerned to do was try to get government support, not gifts from government, but underwriting loans. in the early days of his career, sir richard used glamour and publicity stunts as part of virgin's marketing. when you look back at some of those campaigns, does some of that stuff make you wince? or do you just think it was fit for the time? it would make me wince if i felt the women would be, were uncomfortable at all. i don't think that i ever made anybody feel uncomfortable. it was just in those days... in those days, it made them smile. like kate moss, for instance. she laughed. she knew what was coming. but today, obviously, you know, i would be i think people would feel uncomfortable with something like that.

so it's changed. now at 72, sir richard says he discusses succession planning with his family, but he's still in control of the virgin group and he's still competitive as ever. it's not checkmate yet. amol rajan, bbc news, miami. with just two days to go until the king's coronation, can you imagine what the preparations have been like? every twist and turn has been thought about. ~ �* . twist and turn has been thought about. ~ �* , , , , twist and turn has been thought about. ~ �* , ,, ,., about. we've seen glimpses of the rehearsals taking _ about. we've seen glimpses of the rehearsals taking place _ about. we've seen glimpses of the rehearsals taking place late i about. we've seen glimpses of the rehearsals taking place late at i rehearsals taking place late at night, so you get a sense of it. the largest ceremonial operation for 70 years, effectively, featuring thousands of military personnel. our royal correspondent sarah campbell has been to see the route

the route will be a familiar one past some of london's most famous landmarks. and for the king and queen consort, the most significant 1.3 miles they will ever travel. along the way, the flags have been raised and finishing touches added for a ceremonial event not seen in this country for seven decades. on saturday morning, 4,000 specially invited veterans, nhs and social care workers seated here will get the first glimpse of the king and the queen consort as they depart buckingham palace through the centre gates at 10:20am. the couple will travel in the diamond jubilee state coach. its electric windows, air conditioning and hydraulic stabilisers should make for a bump—free comfyjourney. there will be space for tens of thousands of people to pack the pavements and watch as the processions pass by.

but the advice is to get here early, not least because people are already camping out to make sure they're at the front. in terms of public transport, well, there will be alterations and closures, so check before you travel. the king's procession, complete with military escort, will head up the mall through admiralty arch, then will pass along the south side of trafalgar square, down whitehall around parliament square and finishing at the abbey, arriving just before 11:00. this has been the location for coronations since 1066. king charles's will take around two hours. and so, not long after 1:00, the coronation procession back to buckingham palace will begin. just as queen elizabeth did in 1953, the newly crowned king and queen will travel in the gold state coach. 70 years ago, the late queen's return trip was more than four miles long, taking in oxford street and regent street. on saturday, the couple will return the way they came along whitehall

and the mail. it will, however, be a much grander procession back involving 4,000 service personnel. once the procession is over, the mall will be reopened, allowing the crowds to surge forward. at 230, the raf will perform the coronation flypast with the king and the queen watching on from the buckingham palace balcony. sarah campbell, bbc news. who better to talk about the music on the parade than gareth malone? was that rhetorical? i on the parade than gareth malone? was that rhetorical?— was that rhetorical? i don't know. you have the _ was that rhetorical? i don't know. you have the marching _ was that rhetorical? i don't know. you have the marching bands, i was that rhetorical? i don't know. you have the marching bands, all| you have the marching bands, all sorts of music. i’m you have the marching bands, all sorts of music.— sorts of music. i'm very excited about the _ sorts of music. i'm very excited about the music, _ sorts of music. i'm very excited about the music, sir _ sorts of music. i'm very excited about the music, sirjohn i sorts of music. i'm very excited about the music, sirjohn eliot | about the music, sirjohn eliot gardiner, one of my heroes is conducting the monteverdi choir and orchestra and that will be quality. where is that?— orchestra and that will be quality. where is that? that is in the abbey and i'm excited _ where is that? that is in the abbey and i'm excited about _ where is that? that is in the abbey and i'm excited about that - where is that? that is in the abbey and i'm excited about that and i'm| and i'm excited about that and i'm excited about the new pieces. yeah,
