After three years in captivity. In sport, its the final day of the Premier League season, with Champions League places at stake. Manchester city, liverpool and arsenal will vie for the last two spots to join europes elite next season. And phil has the weather for us this morning. Good morning. There is a much improved started day compared to yesterday in scotland and the rest of the British Isles is not far behind. Details in a few minutes. Good morning. First, our main story. In business, sometimes, you have to do the dance. And having won billions of Dollars Worth of contracts for us firms, donald trump is more confident celebrating with the saudis than you might think. Its beautiful. It certainly more comfortable for him here than it is back home, given the furore over his sacking of the fbi director investigating allegations his president ial campaign was tied to russia. But day two of this tour could be the beginning of a far greater challenge as he leaves the world of striking commercial deals he knows so well to try to strike political deals instead. Always the right hand, right . Always the right hand. If only Teacup Diplomacy were enough in the region were some disputes stretch back thousands of years. Today, President Trump will speak to more than a0 Muslim Nations, where he will talk of the need to tackle religious extremism and intolerant ideology. He will give the address in the birthplace of islam just months after he was trying to ban visitors from six mainly muslim countries. But the saudis have been rolling out the red carpet for him, and hes likely to get another warm welcome when he moves on to israel tomorrow. Well be speaking to the bbcs security correspondent Frank Gardner whos in saudi arabia in about 10 minutes. At least 18 cia informants were killed or imprisoned in china after a spy network was dismantled according to reports in the new york times. It is not clear whether the cia was hacked or whether a mole helped the chinese to identify the agents over a two year period, officials told the paper. Its being described as one of the worst intelligence breaches in decades. The cia has declined to comment. The labour party is stepping up its drive for older voters, claiming that conservative Manifesto Proposals are amount to an attack on the elderly. But the conservatives accused labour of running a scare campaign. It looks like labour may be benefiting from a bit of a balance on the back of this campaign to try to highlight the Tory Ma Nifesto to try to highlight the tory manifesto pledges as being anti elderly . What can you tell us . There are certainly seeing a boost in the poll ratings, they have gone up in the poll ratings, they have gone up from around 26 last week to something around 33 to 35 this week so something around 33 to 35 this week so certainly a boost. But compared to the tory lead, the tories are still on between 44 and 46 . But this whole issue about pensioners votes has become a difficult one for the conservatives because their policy on social care, which could see pensioners who are cared for at home having to i suppose have their properties handed over to the state to some extent, for anything above £100,000, that has gone pretty badly among some of their quarters. So labour today, talking about their promises, keeping the triple lock on pensions which is something that words are moving away from, also protecting the Winter Fuel Allowance and in terms of social care, labour saving will pit 45 billion into the nhs and social care. Though the Liberal Democrats have pointed out that because of brexit, that 45 million wouldnt be much because the loss of Public Services will be just as much. But this whole issue will give faf has given labour a bit of a boost. The conservatives are saying theissue boost. The conservatives are saying the issue around social care wouldnt be detrimental to pensioners, that pensioners wont have to give up their properties while there are still living in them, that this would only happen after they died, they are accusing labour of scare tactics. Thank you very much. The leaders of the main parties are going to stop campaigning for an hour today to remember the mp jo cox, who was shot and stabbed in her constituency in West Yorkshire last year. The Initiative Comes after a personal request from her widower brendan cox the First Anniversary of her murder is next month. Jo wilfried been incredible touch, both by the fact that upward parties are posing for a moment, both by the fact that upward parties are posing fora moment, but both by the fact that upward parties are posing for a moment, but also by the public reaction. Jo would have been touched. Jo cared about Drawing Communities together, that is what mattered to her. 82 schoolgirls who were kidnapped in nigeria three years ago have been reunited with their families. The girls were released earlier this month as part of a deal between the Nigerian Government and boko haram islamist militants who had been holding them. 0ur correspondent Alistair Leithead reports now on the emotional reunions in the nigerian capital, abuja. The moment theyd been waiting more than three years for to see each other again. An emotional reunion for the newly returned chibok girls and their parents. 82 of the missing girls were released two weeks ago. It was a celebratory first meeting. But this is the start of a long process. I cannot overemphasise how i feel. I am just laughing with all my family because of happiness and joy. Assimilating them back into society after so long being held hostage in the forest by boko haram militants. Both the girls and their parents have gone through a lot of change since the kidnapping. And they wont be heading back home to chibok any time soon. They are under the care of the Womens Affairs ministry, and the Security Service is keen to talk to them about their experiences. The bbc has been with the families in remote chibok all this week. It has taken a while to make 100 sure of the girls identities. The 82 chibok girls were only released after months of complicated negotiations. Five boko haram commanders were exchanged for them. The bbc have been told that 2 Million Euros may also have been part of the deal, but that cant yet be confirmed. The government says it is doing all it can and talks are going on to try and release the 113 still being held. The intense media focus on the chibok girls has at least helped many to be freed, and they are just some of the thousands of other women and girls also abducted by boko haram. Spanish and british authorities have arrested 2a suspected Drug Traffickers after a joint operation. Spanish Police Detained 21 people who allegedly transported marijuana into the uk Hidden In Packs of marble tiles. Merseyside officers had previously arrested 3 suspects involved in distributing drugs. Spains Policia Nacional said five plantations have been dismantled and thousands of plants seized. Prince harry reportedly made a 100 mile round trip to bring his girlfriend Meghan Markle to the Wedding Reception of Pippa Middleton. Guests at yesterdays wedding included the duke and Duchess Of Cambridge alongside their children and Princess Charlotte, who were greeted by Waiting Crowds. Just like the final curtain comes down today on the most celebrated circus in the united states. It has been going for 146 years. And it is the only circus in the world is to travel by train. High Operating Costs have been said to the to blame for the closure. New homes have been found for all the animals. Such a famous name in american history. I think for a lot of people these days, the thought of animals in circuses doesnt sit well. So you can understand why their time may have come to an end. As weve been hearing, donald trump will call for a peaceful vision of islam today when he addresses leaders of more than 40 Muslim Nations on the second day of his overseas trip. 0ur Security Correspondent frank gardener is in saudi arabia for us this morning, where the president s where the president s visit continues. Have the american officials travelling with the president been holding their breath at the prospect of him talking to all Business Lunch readers on a subject on which he has made controversial comments before . They are. Notjust made controversial comments before . They are. Not just them, made controversial comments before . They are. Notjust them, but made controversial comments before . They are. Not just them, but the saudi hosts, ithink, as they are. Not just them, but the saudi hosts, i think, as well. They are. Not just them, but the saudi hosts, ithink, as well. This is high risk territory for any reader, to come to this part of the world, the birthplace of islam, one of the worlds three great monotheistic religions. To, give a speech on such a sensitive topic would be a challenge. Donald trump, last year, said, is one hates us, there is a lot of hatred there, and of course try to introduce this ban on several muslim countries. The Saudis Injaffer given that, they are giving him the benefit of the doubt, but all yesterday, they have been streaming here as we do is come in and they will be listening carefully to the tone of this speech. This could go either way. If donald trump delivers it in a hectoring, slide the building way, it was easily go down very badly. But if its a kind of, we are all in this together and we are here to support you kind of thing, it will go down well. But the end we are getting from the white house about this speech is that it is going to be direct, blunt, it is going to be telling nations are leaders that it is not enough to just talk the talk about eradicating religious extremism and intolerance, they need to stop aiding and abetting it. I dont know if he is going to name names are particular countries. Given his propensity to shoot from the epp and go off script, anything could happen. We saw pictures of him yesterday signing trade deals. So far, this has been a cordial and warm visit, hasnt it . Far, this has been a cordial and warm visit, hasnt it . It has. A marked contrast to The Gathering Storm you have left behind him in washington. He has friends here in saudi arabia, they like him, at least the royals like in this part of the world, because he is tough on the run. And the Gulf States Felt that president 0bama, his predecessor, was too soft on iran to get deals through. He has not raised theissue get deals through. He has not raised the issue of human rights here, either. So business has slowed, Something Like a total of 380 billion us dollars, thats about a quarter of £1 trillion. Thats a lot of money. And of course, yet unable to say it is a tremendous day, business back home, jobs. He has been able to say. So it has gone very well. Presumably, we have seen donald trump in the past, he delivers speeches, if he sticks to the script, then his officials will be happy. But he always have a propensity to deviate and added a little. Ferrer he does. I think that one of the architects of this whole trip, his National Security adviser, be bold guy who came out in a suit in the white house rose garden to say that it was a fake news story about russia, about intelligence being given away by donald trump. He is very much the architect of this trip. If it goes well, he is made for the rest of the term. If it goes badly, he will carry the can. I am sure you will be impressing on the president the need to not go off script in this sensitive area. The president has a lunch today, a banquet with gulf arab leaders and some of the islam leaders. So he will have a chance to chat to them before he delivers the speech in the afternoon, riyadh time. But this evening, if everything has gone to plan, he saudis and the white house will be bringing in breathing in an enormous sigh of relief. Thank you very much. Its 40 its 40 minutes past eight, youre watching breakfast. Donald trump prepares to address more than 40 Muslim Leaders in saudi arabia as he continues his first overseas trip as president. Labour vows to protect pensioners in a push to attract older voters as the conservatives defend plans to shake up the funding of social care. And coming up on the programme heres phil with a look at this mornings weather. In the papers, they are predicting monday will be the hottest day of the year so far. As we get into the realms of 25, 26, which is not out of the bounds of possibility, it is possible. As we get into wednesday, thursday, friday, High Pressure will sit across the British Isles. Improved picture from scotland, and yesterday started pretty well, across the suicide of england as well. Then the showers piled on through, dont we know it . Plenty of showers and rain across scotland. We have got rid of both of these features, but however, we are dragging in another one across the atlantic. Thickening cloud has ordered brought some rain. Its cloud has ordered brought some rain. Its primarily a future this morning for Northern Ireland and then will work its way into the western side of scotland. But all that being said, once they are the focus pop away from 0xfordshire way and one are to other sports as well, its a different beast. Dry and sunny. Here, cloud with a suggestion of room for some areas, Northern Wales and Northern Ireland s and the south west of scotland, but that will push it further north. But some thicker cloud may bring the odd spot of rain into the central belt and up through stirling into the inverness area. Generally, the further east youre in scotland, the drier your day will be. A lot of dry weather, unbroken sunshine in the south, uv levels quite high this time of year that will be a consideration for many of you in the afternoon. No signs of frost overnight, continuing to import these relatively mild air across many parts of the British Isles. Some rain in Northern Ireland and the top two thirds of scotland on monday, but elsewhere, heat beginning to push on through. Maybe a bit ofa beginning to push on through. Maybe a bit of a tip on tuesday, but was removed past that first part of the week, you see what i mean about the High Pressure. There will be some cloud in bits and pieces in the first part of the week, but wednesday, thursday, friday, very warm in some areas, i wouldnt be surprised to see 26 or 27. Its 8 17am. Its its now over 30 years since one of wales biggest collieries closed. Miners have been providing stories of life underground. Now, anyway of apprentices is being trained. For over 100 years, coalmines will it would across wales. It was a job for the future. This man worked proudly underground in several collieries across the valleys. The best part is the camera true. Everybody would look after everybody. The bad part, how can i say, closures. Does that for the past 30 years, he has been digging deep into past experiences, passing his knowledge on to the public here at what has become a unesco World Heritage site, the Big Pit National Coal museum. 0n tours, with some of the children, especially youngsters, id tell them to touch it if they wa nt id tell them to touch it if they want to. But as the role of a coal miner disappears want to. But as the role of a Coal Minerdisappears in want to. But as the role of a coal miner disappears in britain, john and the other ex miners are looking to retire and looking for people to carry on their work. This is essential in showing the public what it was like mining underground all those years ago. And without passing that knowledge on, the fear is that the history of mining and culture in south wales could be lost. Its really important that we keep that a life. Really important that we keep that a life. These really important that we keep that a life. These are the first apprentices. They will learn not only the history but the technical aspects of how to fix and maintain the mine so that it is safer the public in future. I should probably fa ct public in future. I should probably fact that im keeping it going. Both from the local area, both appreciate how vital they will be in Keeping B History Of Mining Going in wales. Its history of mining going in wales. Its truly unique. There are not many opportunities to come and work for a place like this and learn these skills. Im passionate about mining, the historical side of thing, the social side of things, and being part of that, being one of the first apprentices offered that opportunity, is fantastic. The changing of the guard has begun at the big pit, and the open is that the big pit, and the open is that the legacy of south wales being one of the largest exporters of calls in the world will live on. A real step back into a glorious history. Jon tonge is professor of politics at the University Of Liverpool whats caught your eye this morning . First lets look at the front pages. The front page of The Sunday Times, as with other papers, has a picture Pippa Middleton, but their main story, well talk to john Pippa Middleton, but their main story, well talk tojohn about this but it is about opinion polls. The 0bserver focuses on theresa mays plans to cut meals for children in infa nt plans to cut meals for children in infant schools. Also their picture, not the Pippa Middleton weddington, but the families in nigeria being reunited after the schoolgirls kidnapped in chibok were finally released. The Mail On Sunday has that picture there, Pippa Middletons wedding yesterday, lots of famous faces there, James Matthews and Pippa Middleton, it was their day. The sunday mirror this morning, more Pippa Middleton, but their lead story talks about the young women exploited as part of the Child Exploitation ring that has been dramatised on the bbc this week, saying goes responsible are all ready walking free. And last but not least, another picture of the wedding, mummy kate takes charge on papers big day. But were not registered with all that stuff. Lets get to the meat the matter. This poll, which has indicated that by some measurements the Conservative Leader has an slashed in half . A bit of a wobble for the conservatives. They have come under pressure for their plans to reform social care. The question is, how can we trust how much can we trust peoples . The polls are calling it is neck and neck in 2015. I feel like when we report on polls, i have to apologise and say, we dont know if they are accurate. There was a big enquiry after the 2015 legend to find out what had gone wrong. There are to main conclusions, the first that they we re conclusions, the first that they were under waiting for older voters, youre more likely to vote than younger voters, and Labour Voters who said they they were absolutely second vote didnt show up her pupils. They are changing the sampling method, trying to make it more accurate. And there are hard to reach voters, their . Older people tend to be less receptive to dealing with pollsters. So it is difficult what the Polling Industry is making a concerted effort. People were saying, why was the exit poll more accurate . Just explain. Sorry to drop, for people who dont understand, just very quickly, Nadir S Guide to an opinion poll . Understand, just very quickly, Nadir S Guide to an opinion poll . You can either do it online, you get a representative sample of the population develop an online survey, you get telephone poles. I was called by a pollster this week. You a nswer called by a pollster this week. You answer question on the phone. That is different from the exit poll. The broadcasters exit poll on the night of the broadcast itself, that is a much bigger poll, voters are given toa much bigger poll, voters are given to a ballot paper which is identical to a ballot paper which is identical to the one theyjust filled out. As they leave the Polling Station . In the same Polling Stations are used so you can measure accurately change from the previous election. So the methodology is very different and that allows it to be much more accurate. Which is why there was no exit poll for the brexit referendum . Because the last referendum was in 1975, we can measure change. So that is why it that we couldnt measure change. That is why was such a surprise. Also on the front page of The Sunday Times this morning, down a little bit, david davis talking about the divorce bill that will be demanded by the eu as part of the brexit negotiations. It may not be his decision we are going to pay something . Is a1 billion is his decision we are going to pay something . Is a 1 billion is too much, that is a lot of money. And what of this grandstanding . How much is it serious . Its difficult to call. But some of this is money we genuinely was part of agreements we signed up to . Particularly for eu pensions. Its difficult to sell to people to pay for patches of eu officials, but there are research gra nts officials, but there are Research Grants that we cant escape, its not going to happen. Theresa may made the statement injanuary that no deal is better than a bad deal, but we havent heard much of that recently. But there is an awful lot of roach to run. I have a feeling itll like when i walked out of a cafe without paying a bill, it was humiliating. So i suggest we dont do that. You get up early every day to be on brea kfast, you get up early every day to be on breakfast, a bad nights sleep makes it possible to keep your waistline down . 0ther it possible to keep your waistline down . Other while at you dont struggle with that. Is it difficult, having insomnia, putting weight on . It suggests lack of sleep is more damaging to your waistline than lack of exercise and the to are related, people dont want to exercise if they are tired, and they will eat more, indeed the wrong things. You crave carby, starchy fruit when you dont have much sleep. And we dont sleep as much as we should these days. General elections also dont help. Talking about cricket, we all remember 2005, channel 4, it help. Talking about cricket, we all remember2005, channel4, it was help. Talking about cricket, we all remember 2005, channel 4, it was a high point, the whole nation fell in behind the ashes. But then that was pretty much it for tv and cricket. Until now, perhaps. After the success in 2005 of the ashes series which got terrific Viewing Figures on channel 4, they took the decision, the england and Wales Cricket board, wanted to grow the grassroots of the game and signed a lucrative deal with sky, but now there is a feeling within the ecb that they need to get cricket back onto terrestrial tv. Viewing figures we re onto terrestrial tv. Viewing figures were low for the last ashes test. So cricket is going to her back to terrestrial tv. The bbc are said to be very interested in on the verge of clinching a deal. But in terms of bbc one schedules, where reduces and eight. A fool test match . You get the money but maybe it was the exposure and that doesnt generate the excitement. I think the ecb have come to the view that the trade off is not worth it. Have come to the view that the tradeoff is not worth it. Thank you so much. It is beloved by having you this morning. It isjust approaching 8 30am. Coming up in the next half an hour. Sima puta 8 30am. Coming up in the next half an hour. Sima put a lighter colour under the eyelid and then used the aubergine which matches the end of my earring.

You might think vlogging is just for millennial s, but well meet the Make Up Entrepreneur who is benefiting. Hello, this is breakfast. Coming up before nine.

Its being described as one of the worst intelligence breaches in decades. The cia has declined to comment. The labour party is stepping up its drive for older voters, claiming the conservative Manifesto Proposals amount to an attack on the elderly. Jeremy corbyn said the party will protect the Winter Fuel Allowance and triple lock on state pensions, which will both be reduced under the conservative manifesto.

The royals were greeted by Waiting Crowds outside the church in berkshire. I think the rain held off for most of the day. Lovely day for all concerned. Lets move on to the sport. It will not be a lovely day from fans and one of the big clubs, going for the final Champions League spot. Liverpool or arsenal will have a hard day ahead of them. Its all about the battle for the final two Champions League spots on the last day of the Premier League season. One of manchester city, liverpool and arsenal will miss out on Top Flight European Football next season. It will make for some compelling viewing. Three oclock it kicks off.

Manchester city have 75 points, they travel to watford today, liverpool are two points behind them with 73, theyre at home to already relegated middlesbrough. Arsenal have 72 points and have to rely on one of the other two slipping up. Theres also the possibility of two or even more bizarrely three of the teams finishing level on points, goals scored and goals conceded which would mean a play off. Millwall are up to the championship after beating bradford in the league one play off final. Steve morisons goal in the 85th minute giving them a 1 0 win at wembley.

Saracens on a mission, their target was a Second Successive European and domestic double. The first part achieved in dublin last weekend. Could exeter stop them achieving the second . Given a place in the Commission Final was up for grabs, it was a tight first half, 6 6, no tries. Jack now proving why he will play for the British And Irish Lions with the first try. The defending champions would not give up their title without a fight. Somehow touching down. There was a twist. 30 seconds to go, sam simmons somewhere under the, denied saracens the double. That ended 18 16. The second semi was even closer. Wasps going for their first semi was even closer. Wasps going for theirfirst final in semi was even closer. Wasps going for their first final in nine years. Ki rtley beale for their first final in nine years. Kirtley beale scoring prudently. This club with so much pedigree, and a leading to the final few minutes. Josh bassett sending wasps back to twickenham for a day out with exeter.

Thank you very much. Its over three years ago since islamist militants kidnapped 276 girls from their School Dormitory in nigeria. Yesterday, 82 girls were reunited with their families in abuja. More than 100 of the 276 girls who were taken from the town of chibok, are still being held by the boko haram militant group. Their whereabouts are unknown. Joining us now from our london newsroom is nigerian novelist and journalist Adaobi Tricia nwaubani. Good morning. Thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us this morning. What do you understand about the way in which these girls we re about the way in which these girls were freed . Talk of a prisoner exchange, even two Million Euros changing ends. Most of what i know is what i have been told off the record, like the bbc. The ransom amount, and the exchange of prisoners. The government was quite open the exchange five boko haram militants for the girls. When the first batch of 21 girls were released, the exact term of the release, what they got, was not made public. This time the government said the exchange five militants. Possible that they made that clear after the first batch. Most of what we have been told is off the record. Were watching the pictures of them being reunited with their families, but more than 100 are still missing, somewhere with those militants in nigeria. Still with them, sad as it is. It has been made public, some of them declined the opportunity to come home. One of the girls, part of the 83 negotiated for, backed out, and said she wanted to get married. This is the women leader of the chibok parents association, said that at least five girls were not interested in returning to their pa rents interested in returning to their parents in chibok. Those girls missing, theirfamilies parents in chibok. Those girls missing, their families want them back, they all want them back. The added twist, some are not even willing to be negotiated for. No one is sure when or how they will come home. A very sad situation after three years in captivity, they have become so accustomed to being there, they want to stay. You know some of these families, what do you know about the reunion, how those girls are. I know that parents have been looking forward to seeing their daughters. Almost they two day journey by road to come there. It took a lot of planning to get them. They live in remote villages, it took coordination. Some of us knew these girls were rescued before their parents did. Took time for the news to filter. I spoke to some pa rents, news to filter. I spoke to some parents, a family whose mother, the mother of the girl, one of the 82 release, she died while she was in captivity. They said they were not going to tell her that in the reunion. They planned a fabrication they were going to share with her, they were going to share with her, they did tell me yesterday that is what they told her. They told her a story about why she could not make it. Some of the girls have lost their parents. I know one of the pa rents their parents. I know one of the parents could not make it, the father fell out of a tree, being crippled. A lot of things have changed, they are affecting the anticipation of the reunion, the way they feel about welcoming these girls. Excited, butapprehensive about the changes that have happened to the families. What we know, from the people we have spoken to, about the people we have spoken to, about the conditions the girls have been living to over the last three years . I spoke to one girls released from the batch of 21 last year. She told me while they were in captivity, they were taken care of. They were fed well, cows were slaughtered for them. They ate very well, well fed. They were forced to marry, they were persuaded to, but they won forced. They were not raped. That is what the girls were saying. Apart from shrapnel, the injuries they sustained from Nigerian Military air strikes, they were in good health. We have the girl whose leg was amputated from the military air strikes. They appear to be a good health. They said they were well taken care health. They said they were well ta ken care of. Health. They said they were well taken care of. They missed their families, it was a hard life. They we re families, it was a hard life. They were in the forest. When they ran out of food, they had to go into the forest to find their own food. Nothing is as horrible as being kidnapped in school, being away from yourfamily in kidnapped in school, being away from your family in three years, but not as bad as imagined. They said they we re as bad as imagined. They said they were not raped, well fed. Probably because the militants saw them as bargaining chips. The girls said they were very well taken care of during their time they were very well taken care of during theirtime in they were very well taken care of during their time in captivity. The pa rents, during their time in captivity. The parents, who had conversations with the daughters, they told me the same thing. Thank you very much for talking to us this morning. Time to say goodbye to roger. Going to do the news for andrew marr. In the meantime, lets look at the weather, with phil. Things are looking up, gloria started day. It was this away on saturday, then the showers piled on through. Sparkling out west, devon. No less glorious that further bit low. The show was pushing way overnight. We had some flies in the ointment, some fog. A Weather Front coming in from the atlantic, bothering Northern Ireland and the west of scotland. Sunshine and not as complete as you might hope for in this neck of the woods. Not as miserable day as was the case yesterday. Missable does not sign up for much of england and wales. Variable amounts of cloud, especially in the north of england. Southern counties, unbroken sunshine. Watch out for the strength of the sunshine. Northern ireland, once the rain is awake it will turn showery, there will be some brightness. There is adrift, cloud and rain through central parts of western england. A bright start across the north of scotland. The further east you are in scotland, you will be a bit dry. 0n the bigger picture, that is the temperature profile. Watch out for the strength of the sun, it is that sort of time of the sun, it is that sort of time of year. The sun does have some strength. To be a problem if you are out there for any length of time. 0vernight, a lot of dry weather, no chance of frost, mild air flooding into the British Isles. These and start on monday. Another Weather Front blocking things for scotland and Northern Ireland. Further south, and Northern Ireland. Further south, and is beginning to warm up. A trend which will see reinforced into the middle part of the week. Might be a dip on tuesday. Getting on through to wednesday, thursday, friday. High pressure will produce a lot of sunshine. Things will turn increasingly warm across the British Isles. Many areas, some seeing 20 degrees, some seeing 25 plus. Watch out for the strength of the sun. There will be some cloud on western exposures, things turning much more dry thanks to High Pressure. Im liking the sound of those numbers. Enjoy your weekend. Its one of the worlds most popular flower shows and as the blooms of colour and creativity go on display at the royal chelsea flower show, one garden will be a place of tranquillity and reflection. David domoneys design for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, celebrates the 850 gardeners who maintain 1. 7 million war graves for visitors. Daniela relph has been to see the garden being built. It is not an obvious place to start. A War Cemeteries of france and belgium. This will be a chelsea garden inspired a remembrance. Designer david domeny is creating the garden for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. For david, this is both a working trip and a personaljourney. His great grandfather henry domeny fought in the First World War for the somerset light infantry. He aims to create a garden that honours him and the sacrifice of millions. 500 people in a day. Just gone. Much of this garden will be made by those who work with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Since the measurement from the back of the railings to the moment it starts to i need. Many of the bricks used will come from belgium, the same bricks used in the cemeteries. Local metalworkers have created these leaves to be placed in the garden. French stonemasons have made a centrepiece, which will sit at the heart of the chelsea design. And the grand wreath that will form the entrance to the garden, made in belgium, bringing visitors into a place for quiet contemplation. But back home, the actual construction of the chelsea garden is a noisy and surprisingly ruthless business. At the local nursery in hampshire, this is the chelsea dress rehearsal. I think the trees need to be reversed, but am wondering whether we half of the back one ina bit . Each of the trees surrounding the garden are carefully moved into place. The layout is checked and tweaked. This is where the design becomes a reality. What it is doing is almost coming around us, and almost like giving the garden a cuddle. The construction of a chelsea garden is a nerve racking business. However much you plan a new design, there are some elements that are quite simply out of your control. We have to grow about four times the plants that we need just to get them to flower at the right time for the chelsea flower show. It is quite a brutal Selection Process, then. It is, it is a brutal Selection Process to get into chelsea at as a designer, but the plants go through the same process as well. We have to get them looking good, no insect bites, no leaf damage. And of course, with a changing of the weather we are totally at the mercy of the climate. The colours of plants and flowers for the garden will reflect the mood of tranquillity. Purples, pinks and whites, they will be roses and areas. Over the last few days, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission has moved into its chelsea home. The final work is being done. By tomorrow it will be ready to show. In so many ways, a garden to remember.

The colour you wear on your face, it in terms of your clothes, the colours you choose to wear on your face. I love the moment when im doing a makeover, making myself up, putting my lipstick on. The moment my face comes to light. What ive done here is to put a lighter colour onto my eyelid. Use the aubergine, which matches beautifully with the end of my hearing and my top.

It can look incredibly pretty. Tricia cusden is with us and Angela Kitching is from age uk, shes in our london newsroom.

I think all people are using the internet for the same range of people as young people. Connecting with family and friends, promote their own businesses. Find Essential Services they need that have gone online. Feels a bit ridiculous to typify such a wide age group with one simple term. Trish, you are an extreme example.

I love make up, i had an idea of creating make up for older women, launching its online. Supporting that with social media, youtube, facebook. 0n supporting that with social media, youtube, facebook. On paper, none of that should have worked. It has worked brilliantly. It is an absolute misconception that older women are not comfortable going online. They are. Very comfortable. We have seen the rise of huge superstars in the younger generation, but there are massive number of people waiting to be tapped into. People underestimate that older women are happy on our ipad, on our smartphones. Very comfortable with technology. So many misconceptions about our age group. A very big one. Angela, there are some older people who are not connected. Is that a problem . What difficulties may that cause them . Fourin difficulties may that cause them . Four in five of the over 70s in the poorest age group, they never go online. There are really significant problems for them, because a lot of services that they need to access, the government, local council, the banks, they have gone online by default. Creates a problem when they cannot access things they need online. We should remember that people who need services the most may have the least access to them if we rely on digital access. We need places people can go. The answer on the telephone, could you go online, print off the form and send it in . Are they experiencing some dangers, you older people online . Ec people open to romance fraud, people vulnerable to criminals he wanted get a ccess vulnerable to criminals he wanted get access to money. It is more people need to feel confident. They need access to the right type of equipment they can use. When they get support, older people are just as enthusiastic as younger people about connecting, using online services. Do you ever come unstuck when it comes to technology . I suspect you are more tech savvy . Not particularly. I have been on a very steep Learning Curve since i launched. I have had to get my head around all the technologies we use. If you run a Digital Business you have to be comfortable with the digital world. I have had to do that. However i have not found that being old is a barrier to that. If the open your mind to it, and say i could do this, you do it. The danger is saying, i will let the kranjcar do it. Learn yourself is the message . I would say to anyone who struggles, do ask your grandchildren. My grandchildren are brilliant online. They will always give me tips, help me. That is the way to go.
