after treatment for breast cancer. before that, it is time for sport, it lets us get the latest with gavin. we'll start with the football — and the action continues in the premier league later. and what an evening it could be for nottingham forest — who could move level on points with second placed arsenal, if they win at wolves — who are only above the relegation zone on goal difference. it's a return to his former club for forest boss nuno espirto santo and there's a lot of mutual respect between the two portuguese head coaches. the performances help, the players feel that they are confident, playing good, achieving good results, i know vitor pereira from a long time ago at the beginning of our careers. he had a very good career as a manager and he is showing at wolves. we expect a tough match against a good team because wolves are good squad. nuno, i know him from a long time...

since the time he worked in portugal. he is doing... he and his staff is doing fantastic work. consistent work. quality work. it means that he is one of the top coaches in england. newcastle manager eddie howe says he will wait to decide whether sven botman can start again on tuesday night against arsenal. the dutchman returned at the weekend after nine months out with a knee injury, replacing the suspended fabian schar — who will also miss the first leg of the carabao cup semifinal. it's not like he has been brushed back, but straight into action, did very well, really pleased with him. i think, regardless of how you treat and what you do, premier league is different than anything else, you can't really prepare for that intensity that comes, but he handled it really well.

former republic of ireland striker robbie keane has been appointed manager of hungarian side ferencvaros. keane is his country's record cap holder and goal—scorer. he left the israeli side maccabi tel aviv lastjune, after a season in charge and also reached the last 16 of the europa conference league. the 44—year—old succeeds dutchman pascaljansen, who left to take over as new york city manager last week. south africa got the job done quickly in the final session of the fourth day of the second test against pakistan to win the series 2—0. they needed to make just 58 runs for the victory — david bedingham — promoted up the orderfrom numberfive — smashing 44 off 30 balls, in the io—wicket win. victory in cape town was built on a huge first—innings total of 615 all out. south africa's victory ensures they head into june's world test championship final against australia having topped the table for the two—year cycle. england's women are in australia for the ashes. batter danni wyatt—hodge says the team are easing themselves into the tour, with a warmup game this week before the one day series starts at the weekend.

some of the youngsters have not been here before, so yes, it has been really nice for them, going site season, seen the opera house and the bridge, etc, getting rid of the travel and the cobwebs, i guess. we have had two training session so far, so yes, everyone is really excited to be here. japan's hideki matsuyama has set a new pga tour record for 72 holes with an incredible 35—under par to win the season—opening event at the sentry in hawaii. the former masters champion hit a final round 65, to beat the previous record of 3a under — set by cameron smith at the same course in 2022. matsuyama had to sink a birdie on the last hole to clinch the record. that's all the sport, but you can keep up—to—date on the bbc sport website. mps are set to debate a motion aimed

at putting pressure on the uk government to release tens of billions of pounds in russian assets to help the ukrainian war effort. president zelensky was handed a $50 billion loan from the g7 last year. this will be repaid from the interest earned from frozen kremlin assets. but, there are calls to go even further in finding a way to use around $300 billion of funds from the russian central bank that are mainly stuck in european banking systems, starting with £25 billion held in british accounts. the uk government says that it's already acted in the correct legal framework. sir bill browder is a leading campaigner to expose russian corruption and human rights abuses who has called on the uk government to use frozen russian assets to help kyiv. well. well, so when the war started three years ago, the first thing that the western governments did was we froze about $300 billion of russian government money. and here we're now in a war that i think most people had thought would end much quicker

than three years. there's been a huge drain on public resources. and as we're moving forward and trying to figure out how do we continue to help ukraine fight off putin's invasion, invasion, the simple answer is that we shouldn't be digging into our own pockets. we should be going after, or we should be taking putin's money and let putin pay for this. and as you mentioned, we came up with what i would call a halfway measure. we said, "ok, we've frozen this money. "we're going to give ukraine the interest on this money". but the interest on this money is just simply not enough. and so we're in a situation where either the taxpayers are going to have to pay or putin is going to have to pay. and so it seems like a pretty obvious thing to me and to the mps who are holding this debate that putin should pay. and that's what this is all about, which is notjust taking the interest but taking the full amount of the money.

now, the uk government says that it is acting already in the correct legal framework. so do you think that what is being proposed could go beyond the correct legal framework? this is not about legalframeworks. this is purely about political will. if there is enough political will, we can confiscate the money. it's legal to confiscate it. it's legal to confiscate the interest. and so what you have the british government saying is they're sort of, you know, spewing out bureaucratic words to try to effectively, to try to negotiate with itself when, we're in a situation where, you know, the government's budget is stretched, we're having all sorts of money problems in this country and for us to lean even harder on the taxpayer when putin could pay for this thing just seems absurd to me. confidence among uk firms has �*slumped', and more than half expect to put up prices in the next three months. that's according to the british

chamber of commerce, which represents about 50,000 companies. it says its members are facing a "pressure cooker of rising costs and taxes", as our business correspondent esyllt carr reports. at this manufacturer in county down, they make everything from hairbrushes to aircraft parts. around 250 people work here, and the boss says the rise in national insurance contributions, along with a higher national living wage, will cost the company over £700,000. he says that'll mean more automation, not taking on more staff, and passing on some of the costs, too. where we can apply price increases on our consumer products, we will unfortunately have to do that. something we don't want to do. we like to give our consumers and customers value, but it's impossible to avoid those circumstances whenever you've been hit with such substantial cost increases. inevitably, some of that is going to end up back on the shelf for the consumer. many firms are facing a pressure cooker of taxes and costs, according to the british chambers of commerce. in its survey of 4,800 businesses towards the end of last year,

nearly two thirds said they were concerned about tax, up from just under half in the previous quarter. 55% said they were expecting to increase prices in the next three months, and just under half expected their turnover to go up in the next year, the lowest level of confidence the business group says it has seen in more than two years. we really hope that the chancellor is listening. we need the government to recognise the impact that the budget has had on businesses. all our businesses are telling us that. and then we need the government to act quickly, re—look at business rates, support export, and accelerate infrastructure. the treasury says the budget delivered stability for businesses and that more than half of employers would see a cut or no change in their national insurance bill. the government has said growth is its priority. some businesses say they will need more support to achieve it. esyllt carr, bbc news.

this bring you up—to—date with the story about. a woman from manchester — who became the first person in the uk to have a liver transplant to treat advanced bowel cancer — is now free of the disease. bianca perea was first diagnosed with the condition three years ago, and while the unconventional treatment won't work for everyone, doctors are delighted with bianca's positive outcome. nickjohnson has more. with bianca's positive outcome. this is bianca perea. with bianca's positive outcome. just 29 at the time, she'd been diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer, which had spread to her liver. these pictures show the chemotherapy taking its toll on her body. bianca first spoke to bbc breakfast in 2022. to find out that diagnosis, and then to find out also that it had spread to my liver and how much it had spread, and was actually quite surprising. because if i can explain, like, the day before i'd played netball, i'd been to the gym. i'm a trainee solicitor, so i'd been to work.

i wasn't ill. following targeted drug therapy and chemotherapy, bianca underwent surgery to remove the cancer from her bowel in 2023, and then became eligible for a liver transplant. the initial discussion that we had is that, unfortunately, there was no surgical option for her. but as the transplant programme has been implemented in the uk, things have changed. and obviously that discussion shifted to "yeah, we can't take a part of the liver, but actually because bianca did so well on her chemotherapy and, you know, she met all the criteria we could actually take away that liver that contained cancer." and she has a transplanted liver. that operation took place last summer. bianca is now entirely cancer—free. so it's still very surreal, but trying to get back to normal life and recover. i'd love to be fitter than i ever was previously. um, yeah...

so it's a blessing that my donor has not only helped me, but being the first one, they've now helped it be a thing that can be offered to people. but this isn't a treatment that will be possible for everyone. i think the hope's important, but the reality is that this will be a treatment for a small proportion of people. forthose people, it will be the right thing and we think it'll work well. the number of people who've been transplanted like this is still very small internationally, so we're all still learning about what those rules should be. and in time they will change, and we'll learn which patients will do better so that we can pick those people better. while bianca's physical health continues to improve, her emotional scars are yet to heal. i'm definitely processing the trauma. so to bring, like, the realistic side, to go through that for three years and the fight that we had, there were some dark moments in there. nickjohnson, bbc news.

re—keeping an eye on the house of commons because as a reminder we are expecting the home secretary yvette cooper to make a statement on child sexual exploitation and abuse, that follows on from sir keir starmer earlier today, defending his record prosecuting sexual abuse gangs after attacks by elon musk and opposition conservative mps. a female prison officer who was filmed having sex with an inmate inside a cell has beenjailed for 15 months for misconduct. let's speak to reporter nickjohnson at isleworth crown court. bring us up—to—date with what happened there. just bring us up-to-date with what happened there.— bring us up-to-date with what happened there. just to bring you some background _ happened there. just to bring you some background to _ happened there. just to bring you some background to the - happened there. just to bring you some background to the case, . happened there. just to bring you some background to the case, in | happened there. just to bring you - some background to the case, in june some background to the case, injune last year, linda de sousa abreu, imprisonment officer at wandsworth prison in southwest london was found in a cell having sex with a prisoner in a cell having sex with a prisoner

in the home, or repeated rapes or

and the failure of crimes and the failure of institutions to act, be it in care homes in rochdale, grooming gangs and rochford or telford, abuse covered up in faith institutions, including the church of england and the catholic church or within family homes. in that report, alongside other appalling crimes coming to light, is why in opposition our part to close for a national independent inquiry into child sexual abuse and supported that work when it was launched by the previous government. 0ver seven years, that inquiry expectedly led by a group, engage more than 7000 victims and survivors, processed to pages of evidence, and published 61 reports and publications. its findings should be truly disturbing for everyone, ascribing the pain and suffering caused the victims and surviving this —— survivors, the

beat the deviousness and cruelty of perpetrators. nor is there isn't any excuse for anyone not to recognise and act on the deep harm and damage from organised young expectation abuse, sexual epic exploitation and rape. ten years ago, reports in ratherfound rape. ten years ago, reports in rather found that 11100 children were sexually exploited, raped by a split perpetrators, traffic cooked across other towns, adopted certain woodlands, even children would in petrol, girls as girls as young as 11 who were raped. and their reports identified then, in a failure to confront pakistani heritage gangs," or a widespread perception of what or a widespread perception of what or that they should downplay the ethnic perceptions for fear of being seen to be racist. when those reports came out, those in rather him were condemned across the board by the government and opposition across the house, as i sit at the

time, is neveran across the house, as i sit at the time, is never an excuse to use race and ethnicity or community relations as an excuse to not investigate and punish sexual offenders, and that then home secretary made clear that control concerns and beat fear of being seen as racist but never stand in the way of child reduction. the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse also run a specific investigation strand into child sexual exploitation by organised networks. it ran for two years and produced a separate report in february 2022 which concluded that police forces and local councils were still failing to tackle the serious crime and set out for the recommendations for change. madam deputy speaker, despite the inquiries really not multiple recommendations, far too little has been done. none of the 20 recommendations from the independent inquiry into child abuse have been

implemented. as the act on independent child abuse camping group from the survivors trust has said this week, victims of child sexual abuse cannot afford further delays in meaningful action, and he said it is now imperative to keep the focus on radical reform. two different conservative home secretary said after the report was published, it should be a watershed and a beginning of a chapter of change but that has not happened. we now need new impetus and action. since coming into office, the safeguarding minister has met with professor alexis jenny and survivors and convened the first dedicated cross government groups to drive forward change and to ensure that victims voices remain at the very heart of this process. i can tell a house that we would set up in new victims and survivors panel to work on an ongoing basis with the interministerial group to guide them

on the design and delivery and implementation of new proposals and plans, notjust on the inquiry but on why the work are on child sexual expectation and abuse, and we will settle more details and timescales based on that work. before that, i can announce actions on three key recommendations. first, ican confirm we will make it mandatory to report abuse, and we will put the measures in the crime and policing bill that would be put before parliament the spring, making it an offence for a rational and criminal sanctions to fail to report or cover up sanctions to fail to report or cover up child sexual abuse. the protection of institutions must never be put before the protection of children. menem deputy speaker, this measure is something ifirst called for in response to the
