and higher pressure is here this weekend, so we should see plenty of dry and settled conditions. 0ver weekend, so we should see plenty of dry and settled conditions. over the coming days we will see quite a dramatic change. i'll be back with more details. it's saturday, the 6th of march. our top story: pressure is mounting on the government over its proposed pay offer of 1% for health workers in england, after it was claimed that a long—term plan had assumed an increase of double that. nhs providers, which represents trusts in england, accused ministers of "snatching planned pay rises from the pockets of deserving nhs staff." four health unions have written to the chancellor, urging him to reconsider. our health editor hugh pym reports. nhs providers is the first employers group to wade into the health service pay row in england. it argues that a long—term government financial plan for the nhs in 2019 included a commitment to pay staff a wage increase ofjust over 2% from this april. the organisation said the pandemic has strengthened the case for better staff pay, so it was very disappointing that only 1% was now being proposed. government sources said there was an unprecedented strain on public finances which couldn't have been foreseen when the nhs long—term plan was drawn up. the royal college of nursing and the unite union said they were considering strike action. but the health secretary defended the planet the downing street briefing. the planet the downing street briefinu. . . , ., briefing. the challenge is that the nation's finances _ briefing. the challenge is that the nation's finances are _ briefing. the challenge is that the nation's finances are tight, -

"we've been dreaming of this visit today and night", she says. "we must stop the bloodbath and we must stay in iraq". today in najaf will be perhaps the most significant moment of the visit, when pope francis needs iraq's top shia clerics, i told our society. leaders of two faiths often at odds, coming together in rare unity. the risk is that the symbolic importance of this trip is overshadowed by covid concerns, and that it becomes a super spreader. but a defiant pope francis believes this nation has waited long enough for a papal visit, and that there is no time to lose to bring a message of peace and hope to iraq. michael owen, bbc news, baghdad. ——

their travel is essential, the daily telegraph says. the move is an attempt to tackle people flying off on easter holidays and on—the—spot fines will be issued and criminal action could be taken for those who break the rules. the times has comments from the scientist in charge of tracking strains of coronavirus, who has told the paper that new variants of covid—19 are "very unlikely" to stop britain returning to normal in the summer. professor sharon peacock says the uk is now well equipped to "stay ahead" of the virus by adapting vaccines quickly. the daily mirror says the proposed pay rise is a "slap for carers". the increase amounts to an extra £3.50 a week, the paper adds. the trades union congress has warned: "this is a hammer blow to morale." meanwhile, the daily mail and several other papers carry comments from the duchess of sussex in the latest clip to be released from the oprah winfrey interview. in the clip, meghan described how "liberating" it was to be able to now speak freely. here's 0wain with a look at this morning's weather. good morning to you. hello, both. i'm trying to figure out what seems _ hello, both. i'm trying to figure out what seems to _

on down as the day pushes on. and do you know what, we're going to see that over the next couple of days as well, especially when you wake up and see a bit of blue sky and sunshine and then the cloud rolls in. and away from the sunshine we are definitely feeling that shell. so that is going to be the situation over the next couple of days, but there is quite a big change coming up. —— chill. it is always good to talk but high pressure when we're looking at the weather for the weekend. that's the situation at present. a dry story over the next two days. but it is going to be cold, and as naga said, feeling colder perhaps is the day pushes on, even where we are away from that sunshine was quite a bit of cloud. looking at the big picture, here is high—pressure. perched on top of us at the moment. this weather front is going to want to shimmy into western parts of scotland, the western isles, the northern isles. we are also awash in blues here, on the ms charts. but indicates colder air. that has been with us for the past couple of days. it will stay with us for the time being and then we start to see a change. the weather front i mentioned earlier is producing thicker cloud and some showers across western parts of scotland. these will gradually track further east as we progress through the day. mist and fog in places, which will tend to clear, as will any frost, and i think out of temperatures will reach seven or eight celsius at best today. in many ways, we see a bit of a repeat performance as we cast an eye up on this evening, and under those clear skies we will see temperatures sliding away. we still have this weather front pushing further east, and moving down towards the south as well, introducing thicker cloud and more introducing thicker cloud and more in the way of rainfall across mainland scotland, turning to sleet or snow on hills. plenty of blue here on the map, temperatures falling close to, if not below freezing. it will be pretty much whatever we are, but underneath the thickest of the cloud it will be a touch milder, i suppose. thickest of the cloud it will be a touch milder, isuppose. not thickest of the cloud it will be a touch milder, i

north of england and the south of scotland seeing some sunshine here. elsewhere, after a sunny start, cloud will tend to build and i think the weather front not only introduces that rain and those showers into parts of scotland, and potentially into northern ireland as well, tomorrow's top temperatures, about seven or eight. i mentioned a change and this is what is happening, as the coming week unfolds. to the west we have the weather front moving on, low pressure back there as well will introduce a much less settled spell of weather. the front bringing rain into northern ireland, scotland and the north of england as well. elsewhere, i think monday should be a largely dry day, and after a chilly start, some sunny spells developing. 0ur chilly start, some sunny spells developing. our

available for viewing in the home while we look forward to cinemas reopening in may. in the psychological thriller wander darkly, sienna miller plays adrienne, a woman caught between this world and the next. you know we both deserve to be happy. are you happy? yeah, sure. oh, that's convincing. having argued with her partner matteo, played by diego luna, on the drive home from a party, new mother adrienne finds herself in a horrific car crash after which she thinks she's died, witnessing her own funeral and watching herfamily fall apart with grief. hey, adrienne! come down! what are you doing? yet matteo, who was in the car with her and can clearly see and talk to her, tells her that she's simply recovering from trauma, picking up the pieces of a shattered life. oh, my god, you're dead, too. what? no, no, i'm not. and you're not. is adrienne hallucinating, is she in a coma or is she somehow haunting her own life? written and directed by tara miele and shot way back in 2018, wander darkly is a film whose modest budget belies its very high ambitions, a metaphysical drama about the meaning of life and attempts to turn a posttraumatic love story into a terrence malick—esque meditation upon existence. this is real. some would liken the narrative to a cross between eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and ghost, although to me, it was more reminiscent ofjacob's ladder, the twisted 90s oddity about an american soldier besieged by visions that may or may not be combat shock. you got to find somebody that you love. not shea, please don't marry shea. in the lead role, miller, who shone in 2018's american woman, continues to impress, carrying the weight of an elliptical drama that constantly threatens to collapse around her. as for the film, it doesn't quite hang together, with the central conceit teetering on the brink of silliness, threatening to exasperate rather than engage its audience. but if the result is ultimately a failure, then at least it's an admirable failure. i'd always rather see a film—maker aim high and fall short than simply play it safe. wander darkly is available on digital download from monday. altogether more successful, although no less fantastical, is raya and the last dragon, the latest eye—popping animation from disney. six years of searching. please let this be it. 0h! focus. eyes forward, tuk tuk. good boy! kelly marie tran, who played rose tico in the star wars movies, provides the voice of raya, a young woman struggling to reunite the warring kingdoms of her homeland. to do this, she must seek out and reanimate sisu, a rather hapless dragon voiced by awkwafina, into whose hands — or rather, talons — the peaceful future of this world has been entrusted. we really need your help. i'm going to be real with you — i'm not, like, the best dragon. have you ever done, like, a group project but there's like that one kid who didn't pitch in as much but still got the same grade? co—written by adele lim, whose screenplay credits include the hit comedy crazy rich asians, this visually—dazzling romp has action and adventure to spare, with sword fights, punch—ups, phonetic chase sequences, magical apparitions, shape shifting and sweeping cinematic vistas aplenty. my girl raya and i are going to fix the world, bring everyone back. more importantly, it also has an uplifting message about overcoming fear and learning to trust our enemies, a message that seems particularly timely right now. it's available on disney+ with premier access. from mythical south east asia to modern—day france for my donkey, my lover and i, a romantic comedy that does exactly what it says on the tin. laure calamy, who'll be familiar to many from the hit tv show call my agent, stars as antoinette, a schoolteacher having an affair with a married man whom she plans to surprise on the hiking trip he's taking with his wife and daughter. so, she signs up for a six—day trek and finds herself tethered to a stubborn beast whom, like her lover, does what he wants when he wants, regardless of her needs. taking inspiration from robert louis stevenson's travels with a donkey in the cevennes, writer—director caroline vignal�*s film, originally entitled antoinette dans les cevennes, sounds excruciating — a perky french rom—com about someone going on holiday with a donkey by mistake. and yet somehow, this quietly preposterous confection won me over, thanks in no small part to calamy�*s terrifically endearing and spirited performance. yes, the set—up is contrived and the comedic set piece is formulaic, and the life lessons to be learned along this journey are obvious from the outset. but calamy makes us care about antoinette's misfortunes, leaving us rooting for her and for her four—legged friend who will only walk when she talks, a neat dramatic device in which vignal makes the most. danish film—maker anders refn is best known to some as the editor of lars von trier films like breaking the waves and antichrist, and as the father of nicholas winding refn, director of drive and the neon demon, anders is also an accomplished director in his own right who's recently completed work on what he calls "a labour of love" ten years in the making, unearthing a fascinating story about denmark's involvement in world war i! that has never been told on film before. the result is into the darkness, which proved a box office smash in denmark early last year, outperforming the likes of 1917, and which now opens online in the uk. veteran danish actor jesper christensen, known to veteran danish actor jesper christensen, known to english—speaking audiences as the villainous mr white in the bond franchise, is the industrialist struggling to keep his family together and his business afloat in the wake of the german occupation. how far should he collaborate with the nazis, who everybody seems to believe are set to win the war? and what about the rest of his family, whose loves and loyalties are becoming bitterly divided? refn says that up until now, danish movies about this period are focused on glorified acts of heroism, without acknowledging the taboo spectre of collaboration. by contrast, into the darkness focuses on the shades of grey that underwrote to the early years of the occupation, in which allegiances are sorely tested. thematically, there are comparisons to be made with the dutch classic black book, although refn's rather televisual film has none of the cinematic pizzazz of paul verhoeven's unruly gem. while the story of into the darkness may be new to the movies, the storytelling is as old as the hills. a second instalment of this saga, which already clocks in at over 150 minutes, is currently in the works, although production has been delayed by covid. you can find the first part on digital platforms now. i'll leave you with news of something altogether more upbeat that's currently playing on netflix. hey, mum, what do 16—year—olds care about? when i was 16, all i cared about was smashing the patriarchy and burning it all down. directed by amy poehler, moxie is a tale of riot girl power passed down from mother to daughter. hadley robinson is vivian, a student whose schoolmates have learned to accept and even expect the everyday sectors ofjock culture. but when no—nonsense new arrival lucy, played by alycia pascual—pena, stands up to patrick schwarzenegger's harassing football star mitchell, vivian is inspired tojoin her battle, albeit anonymously. i'm going to keep my head up. high. fired up by the contents of an old suitcase packed with the detritus of her mother's punky past, vivian knocks together a feminist fanzine called moxie and secretly distributes it around the school. what's the goal? revolution, baby! soon, formerly downtrodden girls of all social groups are coming together, taking a leaf out of the zine's luridly photocopied pages to fight back against the boys. adapted by screenwriters tamara chestna and dylan meyer from a novel byjennifer mathieu, moxie may lack the depth of eighth grade or the punch of booksmart, but it's still blessed with enough good—hearted energy to raise a smile, several chuckles and the occasional cheer. much of its success is down to the cast, who manage to balance the serious and comedic aspects with likeable aplomb. but you're glad you did it all, right? of course. what are you going do, nothing? most impressively, poehler pulls off an entertaining and accessible film that confronts issues of bullying, harassment and rape with a sturdy spirit of defiance, humour and collective optimism — no mean feat. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe, and i'll see you next week. hey, baby. where are your parents? hey, uh, whose baby? what? hello, this

india six, then seven wickets down. but then they just couldn't find a way to break down india's stubborn and brilliant resistance, as washington sundar added 96, to risahb pant�*s century to take the match away from the tourists and build a lead of 169. eventually, after what seemed like a lifetime, there was a run out. and that did lead to the final wickets falling in a flurry this morning, thanks mainly to ben stokes, but has the damage been done? england batting again, six without loss at lunch. in their first action back in a year, it was a great night for britain's female middle distance runners at the european indoor athletics championships in poland. amy—eloise markoff powered her way to gold with a personal best in the 3,000 metres with team—mate verity 0ckenden, just beaten into third place by france's alice finoh. it was so tight on the line, and a close bond, between the medal winners, afterwards. and that intense competition helped the british women onto the podium. felt amazing, it is a dream come true. you know, to get a flag draped around your shoulders, that's why we all do it. a dream come true and couldn't have done it without these girls pushing and pulling along the way, and made some great moves in the race. a great field out there, just really, really pleased. after a decade of dominance by celtic, their glasgow rivals rangers are on the brink of taking the scottish premiership title and achieving their season ambition of stopping celtic making it 10 in a row. since rangers last won the title, in 2011, they've been through administration and made their way back up through the divisions. if they beat st mirren today and celtic drop points at dundee united tomorrow, rangers will be champions. manager steven gerrard says he doesn't care when they clinch it, so long as they get that trophy back. leading trainer gordon elliott has been banned from racing for a year, with the last six months suspended, after being found guilty of bringing the sport into disrepute. the irish horse racing authorities, said the photograph showing elliott sitting on a dead horse showed "appalling bad taste" and a "complete absence of respect" for the horse. elliott said he was paying a very heavy price for his error, but he could have no complaints. we still don't know what's happening with the lions tour to south africa this summer, but we do know that an offer from rugby australia to stage it there has been rejected by the board. there are still four options on the table, including playing behind closed doors or switching it to the uk. in the domestic game, sale are up to second in the premiership after a comfortable win over newcastle. they ran in three tries, to win by 2a—9. and there was quite a game at welford road, where london irish took the lead afterjust 37 seconds, but leicester eventually won by 33—32, kini murimurivalu scoring a late try. finally, if you're missing strictly, how about a group dance in a penalty area? the build up to this corner in the czech republic would surely get a ten from shirley, and the way the movment distracts the defence, and great posture in the finish, would maybe even force craig to crack a smile. maybe fc slavia karlovy vary, should stick to dancing. they lost 10—3. did he kind of spin and then huddle? yeah, it was basically a distraction. 0pponents

thing now, i have a newfound ultimate respect for teachers out there, because they are brilliant, they are absolutely fantastic, and i have really learned how hard it is to teach. you think, yeah, it's easy. but it is not. it is a real skill, verging on a gift, to teach children and consistently engage them and keep them engaged and push all that information into their heads, you know. but all

perseverance rover has taken its first drive on the surface of mars, two weeks after its arrival on the red planet. in the past few hours, the robot beamed these images back to earth. it can be seen testing its wheels, edging forward, and spinning on the spot. the rover made a journey of around 20 feet during its inaugural mission. it's now preparing to search sediment which was left by rivers and lakes billions of years ago, and which may provide evidence of tiny lifeforms. dr sarah milkovich is a science systems engineer at nasa'sjet propulsion laboratory. shejoins us now from la. good

and an engineer on the perseverance rover since about 2013. myjob is to help these scientists and the engineers work together to design and build and now, hurray, we actually get to operate this thing on the surface of mars. so this has been many years in the making and we are really quite overjoyed at how well everything has gone so far. tell me, what does it look like? have you got a joystick at

depending on what the planets are doing. talk 20 minutes, depending on what the planets are doing.— planets are doing. talk us through what has happened so far? as i i what has happened so far? as i understand it, it has moved 20 feet. now, why are such little distance, and over what of time? is itjust inching around? what is happening? the first drive is a really big deal for us, because we can test things out on the earth but we don't know 100% for sure that it is going to be perfect on mars until we try it on mars, because there is only so much that we can do under earth conditions, gravity, that kind of stuff. so the first thing that we did was not move forward at all. the first thing we did was what was cold a wheel wiggle. we have six wheels on the rover and we commanded each one of them individually, just like if you are twitching your foot a little bit. to make sure that the motors work and everything is fine, and then we did a very cautious, short drive to make sure that the driving capability work, and it did, so we are already planning longer and longer drives right now as swiss peak. and longer drives right now as swiss eak. ., , ., and longer drives right now

about the little helicopter that is with the rover, it is going to be the first flight ever on another planet, obviously? i had a couple of questions about the helicopter. apparently the hour on mars is 100 times thinner than the air on earth. now, all of us are going back to our physics a—levels and gcse and we couldn't figure out why that means the helicopter can only be in the airfor about the helicopter can only be in the airforabout 30 the helicopter can only be in the air for about 30 seconds?- the helicopter can only be in the air for about 30 seconds? well, it is a combination _ air

buddies, the air is so thin on mars that the helicopter is very small and it is a really small box, but it has forefoot propellers, to the rotors, to lift it up, it needs to be very small and lightweight and yet have proportionally huge propellers to get enough lift, to get it up off the surface. the other thing is, to pick —— to keep it light, it is entirely solar powered. it can fly for

looking like. next to the presence of high pressure, it will be dry for most of us, quite a bit of pressure and it will be cold. the high pressure is here and we have this weather front which will introduce some showers into mainland scotland as we progress through the day as well stop we also in this very cold air mass. we have noticed this over the past few days, temperatures have been sliding away and we hang onto that for the time being. this is how it is looking across much of the uk, largely dry and some showers across coastal and eastern parts. highs to the north, that is the weather front introducing the showers and potentially more prolonged into the far north. actually started davis cup the temperature today will eventually get to about seven or eight celsius and i think most of us will see at least some brightness but what i can't promise you is wall to wall blue sky and sunshine, or really sunny spells for everyone thatis really sunny spells for everyone that is a snapshot that is how it is looking for today. a repeat performance as compared to what we saw last night, temperature is will slide away and we will see some clear skies developing and we see the red the front continuing to move in further east and further south. north of the central belt, it would be claudia, we will see some shows as well stop this will change to sleet and snow as we get down to minus two celsius in places. it will be actually start the day tomorrow. seeing sunny spells first thing away from where we have this feature. the weather front continuing to introduce the thick cloud and rain across much of scotland at times through the day tomorrow sunny spells will develop. top temperatures tomorrow, i think, more than likely peaking at about seven or eight celsius. now, we're still in the cold air and we still high pressure nearby, tomorrow and as monday we look to the west. the weather front will come in and that will introduce something a bit less settled. across northern ireland, western parts of scotland and some blobs of rain on the graphics as well stop for most of us, especially across england and wales, it should be largely dry at nine or 10 celsius. thejet stream delivers be largely dry at nine or 10 celsius. the jet stream delivers as a gift as we look towards wednesday stop that's really strengthening, really, as we go through the middle of the week, introducing areas of low pressure attending wet, turning windy, that is how it is looking, both. element thanks very much, 0wain. every week, bbc news presenter ros atkins takes an

mr khashoggi to go beyond those who carried it out to the one who ordered it. the crown prince himself. he has blood on his hands. but what has actually happened this week is the first to have a

who offer momentarily strategic value to the us might be given a one free murder past. we have also heard from jamal khashoggi's beyonce who put out a statement saying if the crown prince is not

working with the saudi state. that made both sides a lot of money and they were benefits beyond that. susan the —— maloney put it this way... while us imports of saudi oil have been decreasing, the security dimension of this relationship very much remains. america has a number of military bases in saudi arabia and right across the golf, from saudi arabia, iran, which the us sees as a major security threat. it doesn't trust iran's nuclear activity, and it knows iran supports militia in lebanon, syria, iraq and yemen. america believes it needs saudi arabia to counter the iranians. and if you want to see the tangle that america finds itself in with saudi arabia, well, khashoggi murder is definitely one. the war in yemen is another. on one side of this conflict we have the many government, backed by a saudi—led coalition. on the other, are houthi rebels, backed by iran, and president biden has acted. he suspended us military sales to saddle —— saudi arabia for defensive purposes. —— offensive purposes. we will have to see if that he escalates the conflict. lots of arms sales to us firms are lost and wondering whether the opposition in yemen is emboldened. these are concessions that have to be made. while there may be an moral dimension, in the end america's interest other dominant consideration. it is an appointment to obama era ambassador to saudi arabia, talking about the crown prince and jamal khashoggi. element doing sanctions right now and doing it on mbs, would not have done very much to advance us interests other than to give some of the

this weekend so we should see plenty of dry, and settled conditions. over the coming days we will see quite a dramatic change. i'll be back with all the details. it's saturday, the 6th of march. our top story: pressure is mounting on the government over its proposed pay offer of 1% for health workers in england, after it was claimed that a long—term plan had assumed an increase of double that. nhs providers, which represents trusts in england, accused ministers of "snatching planned pay rises from the pockets of deserving nhs staff." four health unions have written to the chancellor, urging him to reconsider. our health editor hugh pym reports. nhs providers is the first employers group to wade into the health service pay row in england. it argues that a long—term government financial plan for the nhs in 2019 included a commitment to pay staff a wage increase ofjust over 2% from this april. the organisation said the pandemic has strengthened the case for better staff pay, so it was very disappointing that only 1% was now being proposed. government sources said there was an unprecedented strain on public finances which couldn't have been foreseen when the nhs long—term plan was drawn up. the royal college of nursing and the unite union said they were considering strike action. but the health secretary defended the plan at a downing street briefing. the challenge is that the nation's finances are tight, and while everybody else in the public sector is going to have a pay freeze, we are able to give a — to propose a pay rise for nurses, at 1%. i entirely appreciate that that reflects the difficult financial circumstances that the country is in. a government spokesperson said nhs staff continued to benefit from multi—year pay deals, including over 12% for newly qualified nurses. but four health unions have written to the chancellor, calling on him to think again about the proposal. they said it was unfair to staff who had been on the front line of the pandemic. hugh pym, bbc news. our political correspondent jessica parkerjoins us now. good morning, jessica. just pick up on these themes for us. what we know is, we have a genuinely angry and dismayed nhs workforce, now we have the notion that there was maybe a plan to have 2%, it has become one, and then we have borisjohnson's government saying, it's all there is. full of praise, but that's all there is. ., ., there is. yeah, and i think this row is likely to ramble on for some i is likely to ramble on for some time. as things stand, it doesn't look like the government is going to back down on this. what they are saying is that after all of the money that has been paid out to deal with the credit ice crisis, this 1% pay offer is what is affordable. —— coronavirus crisis. one of the reasons i think this will rumble on, as you have said, a few people are pretty curious about what they understood the situation to be previously, and as well, the payoff is light in the light of the kind of work they have done over the past year. then there is this possibility of strike action being talked about. another thing to look out for in the coming days and weeks is also the kind of broader public reaction, and how that manifests itself, for example, in terms of pressure on conservative mps. because i think if there is a situation where conservative mps start to have their so—called postbags, or these days via email inboxes, filling with angry reaction from the public, but will put political pressure on the government as well, on top of the other factors we government as well, on top of the otherfactors we are government as well, on top of the other factors we are talking about. so this would be a sensitive time to announce your spending quite a bit of money on... i don't know what you call it. some form of redecoration, this is within downing street. do you want to explain what has been proposed, and the amount of money they are expecting to spend on making something look nice? yeah, the have making something look nice? yeah, they have riot _ making something look nice? yeah, they have not exactly _ making something look nice? yeah, they have not exactly announced i they have not exactly announced this. it was revealed through a freedom of information request through the press association. £2.6 million on renovations to number nine downing street, which is where they are going to hold the so—called white house style press briefings. you might remember, a former journalist, allegra stratton, was hired to host these briefings. the idea was they would be greater transparency, people could watch these briefings held by a number ten spokesperson. the pa revealed £2.6 million has been spent on this. what the government is saying is that obviously when you have to fit out somewhere with audio and visual equipment it costs money. they say it will make the whole thing more transparent and is well, they say it is a grade i listed building, so suggesting that perhaps renovations will be a bit more expensive. jessica, thank you very much. a soldier has died during a training exercise involving live ammunition in wales. our correspondent simonjones is in our london newsroom. simon what more can you tell us about this incident? well, this happened at the castlemartin training base on thursday evening. it castlemartin training base on thursday evening.— thursday evening. it was a night-time _ thursday evening. it was a night-time training i thursday evening. it was a l night-time training exercise night—time training exercise involving the firing of live ammunition. in a statement, the mod have not given us a great amount of detail, but they say what happened was a tragic incident. they say the family of the soldier involved has been informed and his thought —— and that its thoughts are with his friends and family. we know this was an experienced soldier, he was a sergeant with the welsh guards a couple of years ago, he got a long service medal awarded by prince charles, who was the colonel of the regiment. overnight his father has posted a tribute on facebook. he says he is devastated and heartbroken at venues. he said writing these words was one of the hardest things he has had to do. he said it was his son's dream job, he absolutely loved doing it, and the family are heartbroken and devastated. now, this is not the first incident to happen at these training ranges. we had, four years ago, a tank explosion which killed two soldiers. then back in 2012, with echoes of what happened this week, a soldier was killed. he was shotin week, a soldier was killed. he was shot in the head during a live firing exercise. there is now an investigation under way, that is going to involve the local police at dyfed powys, it is also going to involve the royal military police and the accident investigation branch. a lot of people are going to be looking into what happened. i think beekeeping, immediately, is to discover whether there are any lessons that need to be learned and anything that needs to be implement it straightaway to stop anything like this happening again. simon, thanks very _ like this happening again. simon, thanks very much. _ like this happening again. simon, thanks very much. simon - like this happening again. simon, thanks very much. simon jones . like this happening again. simon, i thanks very much. simon jones there. police say they're increasingly concerned about the disappearance of a woman in south london. sarah everard, who is 33, spoke to her partner on the phone while walking from clapham junction to brixton on wednesday night, which was the last time anyone heard from her. a friend said it was extremely uncharacteristic for her to go missing. health authorities have successfully traced a previously unidentified person infected with a more contagious covid variant, which was first found in brazil. on sunday, it was announced that six cases of the p1 variant had been found in the uk, but the identity of one of the cases was unknown. that person has now been found in croydon, in south london, where they had quarantined at home. there are fears that thousands of school children in england and their families could be forced to self—isolate as a result of so—called "false positives" when mass coronavirus testing begins next week. every secondary school pupil will be offered three rapid—result tests over the next fortnight as part of government plans to bring children back into the classroom. our health correspondent nick triggle has more. the tests that will be used in schools in england are designed to give quick, on the spot results. but it's thought that for every 1000 carried out, between one in three will result in an incorrect positive result, a so—called "false positive." when these tests are carried out at home, users are entitled to a standard covid test that's processed in a lab to check the result is right. but this will not be happening with the tests in schools. instead, it will be assumed to be rapid test is correct. the royal statistical society and testing experts are worried low infection rates could cause a higher proportion of positive cases to be false, and many thousands of pupils and families could be forced to isolate for no reason. the main concerns are that actually, tests are not going to be finding very many cases at all. the data from the last week of testing from the government, from 300,000 children and staff being tested, they were finding one positive for every 1,500 people being tested. and that means the tests are both missing cases, and it's a large amount of effort and work being done, being put into this, to find very, very little. but government insists the testing regime will have a positive impact by identifying asymptomatic cases that would otherwise be missed. it says around one in three people who have coronavirus have no symptoms. nick triggle, bbc news. the dalai lama has had his first dose of the coronavirus vaccine. the exiled tibetan spiritual leader, who is 85, was given the oxford—astrazeneca jab in the indian town of dharamsala. he appealed to everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated. nasa's perseverance rover has taken its first drive on the surface of mars, two weeks after its arrival on the red planet. in the past few hours, the robot beamed new images back to earth. it can be seen testing its wheels, edging forwards, and spinning on the spot. the rover made a journey of around 20 feet during its inaugural mission. the first thing we did was not move forward at all, the first thing we did was what was called a wheel wiggle. so, we have six wheels on the rover and we commanded each one of them individuallyjust the rover and we commanded each one of them individually just a the rover and we commanded each one of them individuallyjust a kind of, just like if you are twitching your foot a little bit. to make sure that the motor is all worked and everything was fine, and then we did a very cautious, short drive to make sure that the driving capability worked, and it's dead, and so we are already planning longer and longer drives right now as we speak. —— and it did. let's return to our top story now, and the growing pressure on the government to offer a larger pay rise to health care workers. unions are threatening strike action over the 1% increase for most nhs workers in england, which they describe as insulting and hypocritical. the health secretary matt hancock said a higher rise was not affordable. here's what people in birmingham had to say about whether they'd support industrial action. i think, at this time, we really need to be supporting the nhs and the nurses in particular,

speak now to sarah gorton from the unison trade union, which represent public service workers. that morning to you and thank you for your time this morning. we will go into some of the substance of the argument in a moment. in terms of the possibility of strike action, what can you tell us about that? where would the outcome, if at all? so, what we have seen happen is that during the summer, health workers started talking about the need for a decent pay rise as part of the, as an essential element of the package to recover from the an essential element of the package to recoverfrom the pandemic, to help the nhs. and they have been asking the prime minister to talk to them about this. in november, the government finally agreed to put this matter to be independent pay review body. and this week we find that they are telling the so—called independent pay review body but they are only allowed to award 1%. so it is no wonder that people are incredibly disappointed, and unions and health workers all over the country are calling for the public to support them and show the government that there really is an appetite to support health workers, to get something more significant. in

what then? well, we wouldn't be a _ sticks to 1%, what then? well, we wouldn't be a very _ sticks to 1%, what then? well, we wouldn't be a very good _ sticks to 1%, what then? well, we wouldn't be a very good trade i sticks to 1%, what then? well, we l wouldn't be a very good trade union if we were preparing for the worst outcome. i think all of us are in that position. but what we need to focus on is the fact that this is by no means a done deal. we've got to opportunities, firstly the independent pay review body which can recommend a more generous sum and health workers all over the uk will hope they take that more sensible option. secondly, at any point in this process, the prime minister can intervene to support the health workers who supported him so clearly last year.— so clearly last year. yeah, i appreciate _ so clearly last year. yeah, i appreciate that _ so clearly last year. yeah, i appreciate that you - so clearly last year. yeah, i appreciate that you are i so clearly

the words you said, nothing is ruled out in terms the longer term. nothing is ruled out in terms the longerterm. —— nothing is ruled out in terms the longer term. —— three mac. we followed those processes fail, and the government has been very clear, if you have listened, as i'm sure you have committed the health secretary himself, who said "this is what it is, other people are getting nothing, nhs workers are getting 1%, if they stick to that line, it happens?— if they stick to that line, it ha- ens? ~ �* . ., happens? well, i'm sure that sticking to — happens? well, i'm sure that sticking to 1% _ happens? well, i'm sure that sticking to 1% will _ happens? well, i'm sure that sticking to 1% will cause i happens? well, i'm sure that i sticking to 1% will cause widespread industrial upset. all of the trade unions have been working together to try to persuade the chancellor of the benefits this could bring economically and we believe he made an absolute economic own goal this week earlier when he set the budget. so we think that spending money on the health service, on the staff who work in it, is not overly the right thing to do —— not only the right thing to do and the fairthing do —— not only the right thing to do and the fair thing to do and as you heard, there is wide spread public support helping the people who helped us so much over the last year, but also it puts money into the pockets of people who live in every part of our country. every part of the uk. there isn't a family i know who doesn't have a friend or a member of the family who works in the health service. so as part of the health service. so as part of the economic stimulus, the chancellor last week talked about helping business but people have to have money to spend in those businesses. and we think that putting money in the pockets of health service workers is a really good and sensible economic strategy. is your instinct at this stage and people might be looking at this possibly slightly cynically, if there is, if you like a big scale haggling process going on? on the one hand, you have the government saying it is 1%, it is 1%, that is all there is. and then, i think it is the nursing union saying it should be 12%. is this effectively what's happening and do you realistically hope there will be a figure that will become to? that is somewhere in between those two? well, it is really odd because we don't have a collective—bargaining process. i think many of us will see that as a good way forward. where we could actually sit down and start to have these conversations about what is fair. my own union unison wants to have a fair pay rise given to the whole health team so we represent nurses, paramedics, cleaners, receptionists, the whole health team. and we think that it is fair and affordable every single person of the team to receive the same amount this year and we think that is affordable and we think it has widespread public support. but i think one of the angles that's been missing is, in all of the talk about reaction, is about the consequences. so this time in 2017, i was sitting talking to one of your colleagues about the impact that a pay freeze of 1% would have on staffing, and workload in the nhs. and here we are four years later, 112,000 job vacancies later, every single team across the health service, every ward, every community team, every, every portering team, has got a gap because we've not been setting pay at a rate that can filljobs. and what we've seen during this pandemic is the consequence of a decade of stagnated pay growth. so covid is just shown that we need to do something about this and we're asking for public support on thursday to show that there is support for changing the government's mind on this. sarah gordon, thank— government's mind on this. sarah gordon, thank you _ government's mind on this. sarah gordon, thank you for _ government's mind on this. sarah gordon, thank you for your -

here's 0wain with a look at your weekend weather. can you believe it, we are a weekend of spring, meteorologicalspring. but it doesn't feel like that, does it? it but it doesn't feel like that, does

it? it is cold! relax to leave us, i darling. if we look at the overnight lows night, as we call it. —— reluctant to leave us. go down to minus eight celsius, —6 in places, so it was really cold and that means it was a cold start to the day—to—day four. having said that, we will see a change as we progress through this coming week. temperatures will rise a bit but that does come hand—in—hand with low pressure which we see just a moment. there is your headline for the weekend, dry for most of us. what a cloudy story and yes, still enough cold air. high pressure is on top of the uk at the moment. these weather front is moving into parts of western scotland and you can see on the ms chart here, plenty of blue colours so that represents the cold air, of course. that's get into the finer detail. the weather front moving into western parts of scotland introducing thick cloud, showers, breezy across the western isles and the northern isles. for most of us today, dry start with some sunshine as well and after those chilly temperatures vesting, we will get to about seven or eight celsius, i think, we will get to about seven or eight celsius, ithink, at we will get to about seven or eight celsius, i think, at best today. as we look towards this evening, the high pressure is still there, hanging on in there, for the time being. you notice the weather front is also still there. this moves further east and further south, introducing further spells of showers, sleet and snow, into mainland scotland, and temperatures tonight, as with last night, falling below freezing in places. these other temperatures across our cities, down to —2 minus three celsius. it will be a cold start of the day tomorrow but again, we're talking about a lot of dry weather across much of england, wales, in towards scotland as well. we still have this weather front though, which will vary slowly want to sink southwards. tomorrow's template is probably coming in at about six or seven celsius, and tomorrow will be one of the days for many of us where first thing we opened the curtains, we see a bit of sunshine and say that looks nice and then it gets cloudier as the day pushes on. the high pressure i mentioned is very slowly moving away from us. if we look towards monday, we have a weather front here which will move on from the west in this signals the first of a couple of changes actually. a snapshot of monday again showing a lot of dry weather but we do have rain around in the forecast and the breeze will start to strengthen as we move through the day on monday as well although top two bridges coming in at around nine or10 two bridges coming in at around nine or 10 celsius. this is the jetstream. jetstream really gets going as we look towards wednesday. it is moving in from the west across the uk, introducing weatherfronts, very strong winds and areas of low pressure. i think if you are to open up pressure. i think if you are to open up the bbc weather app, tomorrow it would look a bit like this, seven celsius, whereas on wednesday, yes, it is milder, but we will see the strong winds and heavy rain as well. wherever we are, less settled but a bit

which you would not need your thermals. we're watching a live feed of a peregrine falcon nest in the centre of nottingham. it's been there for nearly 20 years and seen a0 new chicks in that time. before we show you how they're getting on, emily anderson has this report on how they came to settle there in the first place. affectionately known as mrs p and archie, and the current tenants at the top of this city centre building. nottingham trent university has been hosting these falcons for 20 years now, in partnership with nottinghamshire wildlife trust, and it seems this urban environment

to say that the peregrines change —— chose nottingham state university, we did not choose them, they chose the ledge not choose them, they chose the [edge to nest on, and back then, of course we didn't have any cameras and what happened was we noticed that eggs were being laid and what happened was we noticed that eggs were being [aid and they were just falling off the ledge. and so with consultation with the wildlife trust, we decided to actually build a nest. the stream attracts hundreds of _ attracts hundreds of thousands of viewers across the globe and with the 40th cheque expected to hatch this season, the next few months are likely to be an exciting time for everyone involved. that was emily anderson reporting. charlie, you are really keen to see this live feed?— this

naga munchetty and charlie stayt. as we've been hearing, most children in england will be returning to the classroom from monday, and those in secondary school will have at least three covid tests over the next fortnight, under the supervision of school staff. after that, they'll be doing them at home — giving rise to the possibility of incorrect results. let's get a view on this from one of our regular breakfast gps, dr sarahjarvis. good morning to you, sarah. i suppose in a way it is an important week coming up, and there are some things we have to point out. schools have been running, and some of them have been running, and some of them have in running the systems for a little while, obviously in limited numbers. in a way, this is a much bigger test, numbers. in a way, this is a much biggertest, isn't numbers. in a way, this is a much bigger test, isn't it? numbers. in a way, this is a much biggertest, isn't it? it is numbers. in a way, this is a much bigger test, isn't it?— bigger test, isn't it? it is indeed, as ou bigger test, isn't it? it is indeed, as you rightly _ bigger test, isn't it? it is indeed, as you rightly say. _ bigger test, isn't it? it is indeed, as you rightly say, this _ bigger test, isn't it? it is indeed, as you rightly say, this is - bigger test, isn't it? it is indeed, as you rightly say, this is just - bigger test, isn't it? it is indeed, as you rightly say, this isjust in l as you rightly say, this is just in england. in scotland, february 22 already saw children in years one through two three going back, and on the 15th we will see the rest of the primary school children in secondary school children returning. in wales they started on the 22nd of february as well. they are just going back in for a check—in in secondary school before easter, and northern ireland, primary school 1— three is starting monday along with all school in england. it is a much bigger procedure but we do know that school is the best place for children. we also know that it is very safe children. the only concern has always been what it might do to the r number, and the idea of these rapid flow test, which can cause false positive results, but give a much quicker result than the pcr, so it really wouldn't be feasible to do pcr test on everybody, i think they would make a difference. what pcr test on everybody, i think they would make a difference.— would make a difference. what we have of course is a situation where people will be asked to do the tests themselves, students as well, and they are going to get tuition, there is a huge workforce, a volunteer workforce, largely, that is going to help to get people acquainted, because this is going to be with us may be for a while. we don't know how long, we don't know how it is going to play out in practice? that's absolutely right. and we also know that the more experience you have and the more well—trained you are, the more likely these tests are to be positive. so children will be taught to do the first three, supervised to do the first three at school, and that actually means that not all children in england will be going back on monday. and a lot of secondary schools, and this is only happening, the lateral flow test, the students, although teachers in primary schools are already doing it, but students in secondary schools, they may well be staggered to this week, so they can go in, have their supervised test, go home and so on, but after they have had three the idea is that they will know enough how to do them and they will be able to do them accurately so they can do them twice a week at home. ., , ., home. one of the things that emerged. — home. one of the things that emerged. and _ home. one of the things that emerged, and i— home. one of the things that

known it all the way along, but right now with schools it is becoming an issue they are going to have to look at closely, is meant mission —— ventilation. schools are not always the best place for

shouldn't be hands, face, space, it shouldn't be hands, face, space, it should be hands, face, space and ventilation. when people are about 20 times less likely to catch covid outside and there is really only one reason for that, and that is ventilation. indoors, even with really good ventilation, it still isn't as safe as outdoors, but it is so important. and i do think it is going to be easier going forward thanit going to be easier going forward than it would have been in the winter. ~ �* ., ., than it would have been in the winter. �* ., ., , ., , winter. we've got a few questions

qualified to be vaccinated sooner rather than later. what do you understand the rules to be? ~ . , what do you understand the rules to be? ~ ., , ., . ., , be? well, we have been told clearly what the

well, we have been told clearly what the rules are in general pluckl what the rules are in general pluck this, and they are people who have very severe asthma are included in group six, which is the group currently been invited at the moment. so of course we had about 23 million people being invited, of whom 7.3 million are in group six. those are the ones who are so—called clinically vulnerable. that includes anybody who has ever been admitted to hospital because of asthma and anybody who takes regular steroid tablets or who has needed repeated courses of steroid tablets. now, i have had a lot of patients who have in very concerned and have said, but my asthma may be controlled now, but would it be controlled if i got covid? we have been given very clear instructions that we are not give those vaccinations early to people who have so—called controlled asthma, in other words, who have so—called controlled asthma, in otherwords, people who have so—called controlled asthma, in other words, people who do not qualify. some gps are looking at individual patients where they may not have ended up in hospital but they narrowly escaped it, perhaps, and they are saying, actually, it is appropriate for you but we are doing on the whole what we are told by the government, and the rationale is that people with asthma, if it is controlled, are not more likely to die. although there are concerns they may be more prone to long covid. flan are concerns they may be more prone to long covid-— to long covid. can you bring us riaht u- to long covid. can you bring us right up to _ to long

by nhs england that we will be getting significantly more suppliers, possibly up to double what we have been getting in the weeks commencing the 15th, 23rd, 22nd and 29th of march. that may be doubled in addition to what we are already going to have to start to do, of course, which is to start to give those second vaccines. i really expect the pace to ramp up, general practice has been extraordinary at pivoting and providing those vaccines, and we are ready and waiting to go. vaccines, and we are ready and waiting to go-— vaccines, and we are ready and waiting to go. that was my

more, can you do more? is it as simple as that? well, until now, certainly. the limiting factor has always been the availability of vaccines, and general practices have run themselves up. it isn'tjust vaccinated are sometimes gps, they may be practice nurses or physiotherapists or people who have been trained from other areas who have come in. of course, we also have come in. of course, we also have the receptionists and the back—office calf, doing huge amounts of work, calling people in. —— back office staff. our concern of course is that patients do need to be kind to the general practices at the moment because we are working so hard to get vaccines into people's arms but it does mean that other services may be slowed down. we endorse that. be kind to your doctor, how about that? we

series are disappearing fast, and there's so much, yet again, on captainjoe root�*s shoulders, on day three of the final test. india's resistance lasted untiljust before lunch, as washington sundar added 96. ben stokes eventually wrapped up the innings, but the home side's lead was 160, and england's response began in familiarfashion. zak crawley out for just five, and then jonny bairstow went first ball, a terrible shot there, that's his third duck in four innings. and dom sibley was removed for three. england now 28—3, root 16 not out. this afternoon, the three—time european champions saracens begin life in the second tier of english rugby union. the championship finally starts today, and none of the other ten sides in the league has played since last march, when their season was scrapped. joe lynskey reports. in 2019, saracens were the best team in europe. this year they too swapped the continent for cornwall. when saracens broke salary capital is their punishment was

saracens are heavy favourites to go up, but they will be no relegation for any side in the third tier. after 12 months, this is their chance to play again, and build back up from the bottom. joe lenski, bbc news. it was a great first night back on track for britain's female middle distance runners at the european indoor championships in poland. this is the first major, multi—event competition, in over a year for many athletes, and amy—eloise markoff, powered her way to gold with a personal best in the 3000 metres with team—mate verity 0ckenden, just beaten into third place by

nine-year-old charlie. generally speaking when we speak of- nine-year-old charlie. generally speaking when we speak of high | speaking when we speak of high pressure in the weather, it means we have the delivery of something drier and brighter on the way but we have that situation at the moment absolutely across much of the uk but we also have a very cold air mass and that, we're getting used to it at the moment, these are the lower temperatures of last night. we go down to minus eight celsius, needless to say, a cold start to your saturday. let's set things up, here is the headline for today. quite a bit of cloud around out there. it should be dry for most of us. a couple of exceptions which we see in just us. a couple of exceptions which we see injust a moment. the high pressure i speak of is across the uk. at this weather front which is just going to want to shimmy into western parts of scotland and the northern isles as well. but the ms chart year showing we are awash in blue that means we are still in the cold air —— the air mass chart. we can see it eventually reaches mainland scotland as well but pretty much wherever we are, we are going to see some brightness and it should be large —— largely dry. most of them fizzling out as the day pushes on. —— top two bridges around seven or eight celsius today. a little bit of a repeat performance as we move through towards this evening. variable amounts of cloud. we see it in parts of scotland, introducing cloud. it is pivoting downwards and we may see sleet or snow on hills. underneath the thickest of the cloud, not quite as cold as what we see under the clear spells where we get down to —2 minus three celsius, i think, across much of england and wales, in particular. as with this morning, tomorrow morning will be cold and we will see some brightness and sunshine as well. high pressure is still there for the time being. i think the rain across scotland will tend to become heavier as we move through the day tomorrow. a little bit more mild here across northern parts of scotland, whereas again, well —— while we're still in that cold air, six or seven across much of northern ireland, england wales. a lot of us will see some sunshine tomorrow morning but we will tend to see the cloud building as the day moves on. this is when we start to see a change was up sunday into monday you will see some weather fronts moving in from the west. they introduced something a bit less settled. rain putting into northern ireland, parts of scotland, the north of england as well, and we have this feature here. still a lot of dry weather and then we are very slowly importing more mild air. the jetstream is having a bit of an impact on wednesday. it is a swinging areas of low pressure our way. on the weather app on sunday, tomorrow looking dry, as forward to wednesday in plymouth, wet and windy. that is how it is looking. owen, thank you very much. —— cowan. —— cowan. time for some technology news now. let's take a look at this week's click. hey, welcome to click! hope you're doing ok. i think it's fair to say that each of us have had to work out our own way to manage the last 12 months and let's be honest, i don't think anyone's coming out of this unscathed — i'm certainly not. lara, how are you doing? i'm getting strangely used to this existence, which i think is probably worrying in itself, but i am really looking forward to being able to see my mum and friends — even though you keep telling me that you're perfectly happy in your own company! oh, yeah! it's something i've learned, actually. i'm absolutely fine in my own space — sometimes out walking, sometimes in reading, escaping into a movie — although to be honest, i think i've completed netflix now. but the reason i ask is i wanted to ask about gaming. are you a gamer, lara? ooh, i used to love gran turismo, but no more — rsi. seriously? so you're saying you played so much gran turismo, you hurt your thumbs? you? hmm. i don't really want to talk any more about it because i don't want to point out any more negatives about gaming because actually, during the pandemic, it's turned out there have been some real health benefits. right, and that is my point — that's what marc cieslak has been looking at this week — the idea that in these troubled times, gaming can actually be good for our mental health. sighs. in the kind of climate that we're in, my inability to leave the house is addressed by being able to just get transported to 13th century japan and, like, ride around on a horse or get — take myself to new york, manhattan, and be able to swing through the skyscrapers and stuff. it's, yeah, it's a great — it's a great, great way to pass the time. video games have the power to transport us to a variety of different locations, all from the comfort of our own home. and during the current pandemic when we're cut off from friends and family, they also have the power to help our mental health and well—being in a variety of different ways. we spoke to a cross—section of people from all over the uk about the different ways games have affected them during lockdown. i feel like gaming is used as a coping mechanism for a lot of people, including myself. video gamesjust offer this — this escapism, but in a way that doesn't challenge you because at the moment, everything is challenging as it is. but when you play video games, it'sjust comforting. currently with everything i that's going on in the world, it'sjust — it's nice i to have a distraction, something to, you know, to be able to get lost in. i it can — can definitely help you, can help your mental health, gives you a chance to bond with your friends. during lockdown, we're all feeling a bit isolated from each other and not seeing each other in person, so games offer a great medium over which people are connecting. you can see that with kids — it's normal for them to connect over fortnite and yeah, it's great — it's how people talk. yeah, cool, let's do that. amongst the people we spoke to, one particular title stands out as a lockdown favourite. animal crossing. released on nintendo switch last year, animal crossing: new horizons allows players to perform gentle tasks while maintaining their own paradise island. one thing that's really great about animal crossing is that it's just a really relaxing game. apart from the pure entertainment value games offer, allowing players to collaborate on tasks or speak to one another adds a social dimension to lots of games. currently actively, i play monster hunter: world and animal crossing. i play both of them because i can play them with my brother. he lives in germany and i live here. yeah, us playing together has been a little bit like a, i don't know, family day out? we just had a whatsapp call and we played animal crossing for hours and just talked about things and we talked about his work and we talked about my work. but then mostly, we just spend time virtually together. there is real science underpinning the study of people's gaming habits. research at oxford university has found that playing games could be beneficial to mental health. i think it's pretty clear that people think that playing video games is helpfulfor their mental health. i think that they are probably one of a lot of tools that we have available to us, if we know how to play games and we connect to our friends through play. the oxford study made use of two games — plants vs zombies: battle for neighborville, and chill—fest extraordinaire animal crossing. both of these games can capture data about the amount of time actually spent playing them. the study found people that who played more reported greater well—being. our research shows actually that if you feel socially connected to those who you play with, if you have a sense of choice and volition about what games and what you want to do in them, that's absolutely correlated with higher levels of mental health. but we don't really know if, you know, maybe happier people just [and on games that are great for them or if the causality goes the other way. this research only made use of two suitable—for—all—ages games and studies around different titles might produce different results, but it's the first time real data about time spent playing has been combined with research into players' subjective well—being. but it's notjust playing games themselves which is fostering a sense of community and helping with mental well—being. hello, and welcome to the crashes r us community championship. i set up a league on dirt rally, or dirt rally 2.0 with a bunch of people that don't play racing games to decide who was the worst racer out of the lot of us. keep left on the 13th. it's turned into a real community thing and a lot of the people that take part say that it's the highlight of their week. i live with depression and anxiety and, to a lesser degree, agoraphobia and just doing the streaming, thought of being forced, in a way, to do this streaming every week has really helped to get me out of my shell and deal with a lot of the anxiety. well done. but is it games in particular that are helping people through these tough times, and can they spend too long playing them ? obviously, you can spend too much time doing just about anything, even exercise, and so the question really becomes not how much are you playing a game, but why are you playing a game? so our research indicates that if you're playing a game because you feel like you want to, it's probably good for you, it's probably related to — it kind of fits with nicely with the other parts of your life. but if you tell us that you're playing because you feel like you have to out of a sense of compulsion, you actually aren't having much fun, you're doing it because you're kind of like a hamster in a wheel and really, it's the quality of engagement, not the quantity that matters. while people have clearly been enjoying playing games during lockdown, the use of specially designed video games as therapeutic tools is being explored by healthcare professionals. us developers akili interactive have already developed a game called endeavorrx, for use as part of adhd treatment in children. it's intended to work alongside existing methods. there's also a game called sparx from new zealand, which has been designed to treat depression. research in this area continues. you're the hero, defeating the gloom. life during a pandemic can sometimes be frightening, but even staying in and avoiding contact with others comes with problems of loneliness and anxiety. games can offer relief and virus—free worlds of endless possibilities to explore with friends and family. and sometimes, that's something we all need. we've seen foldable phones and now it's time for rollable phones, expandable phones? i'm not exactly sure what we're calling this format yet, but it's the first time i got my hands on a real working version of it. you just swipe here on the power button and the screen goes from 6.7 inches to a 7.4 inch tablet. like a folding phone, the point is to combine the convenience of a regular—sized smartphone with a bigger screen of a tablet, so if you're working or watching a movie, you can switch to that bigger screen, and oppo says it's experimenting with letting the motor stop at any point of the expansion so that the screen can adapt to fit any kind of video. now, i think they've done quite an elegantjob of this. you just swipe up on the power button and the phone opens up. and swipe down on the power button to close it again. there is a little bit of motor noise, which you can hear in a quiet room, but i don't think it is too distracting. and obviously, i've tried squeezing the phone to force the motor and when you do that, the motorjust kicks in and closes the phone. with flexible phones, people always ask me if there's a crease on the screen and yes, on this phone, there is a crease on the display where it rolls inside the phone. but just like with the folding phones, when the screen is on and you're using the device, you don't notice the crease at all, and the screen doesn't feel spongy or flexible to type on — it's solid behind there, so it'sjust like typing on a regular phone. there aren't any scratches on this display from the mechanism but then, it is just a concept phone that i think�*s been kept very safe and it hasn't been out in the wild, although oppo says it can open and close more than 100,000 times without breaking. now, because this isjust a concept phone and isn't going on sale, some of the key questions of how this would affect battery life, i can't answer at the moment. other companies including lg and tcl have teased that they're working on a very similar rollable phone to this — although oppo is the first company to get a working version in my hands. they say they developed this independently and have applied for lots of patents for the technology inside it, but they're not going to sell it, so i asked the company why they're showing it off. oppo believes in only bringing products to the market when they meet a really strict product testing process and at the moment, we haven't pushed this device through that just yet. it is to show our innovation and ourforward thinking into new technologies. it's always exciting to see new formats come to the market — whether it's foldable devices be huawei mate x or something like microsoft's surface duo, which is two screens hinged together, but they do typically also come with a hefty price tag, far in excess of £1000. it may be that we don't see too many of these out in the wild until the price shrinks. that was chris fox. i love the idea of these roll—out screens, always have, but they're taking so long to arrive! maybe next year, maybe next year. anyway, that's it for the shortcut of click for this week, go to the iplayer if you'd like to see the full length cut, it's really well worth it. and as ever, you can find the team on social media — on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter @bbcclick. thank you for watching and we'll see you soon. bye— bye. good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: two health unions say they're prepared to strike, as pressure grows on the government over its pay offer to nhs staff. a warning of unnecessary self—isolation for school children, because of inaccurate coronavirus test results. nasa's perseverance rover takes its first drive on the surface of mars, as it begins to explore the red planet. england rely on root to delay the series defeat, that looks almost certain, after their batting collapse this morning in the final test against india. and after weeks of lessons at the dinner table, online assemblies and quite a few rows, the end of home schooling has arrived. what did we all think when the prime minister said that schools were going back on the 8th of march? yay! and high pressure is here this weekend, so we should see plenty of dry unsettled conditions. —— mike dry and settled conditions. but over the coming days, we see quite a dramatic change. i will be back with all the details. it's saturday the 6th of march. our top story. pressure is mounting on the government over its proposed pay offer of one per cent for health workers in england — after it was claimed that a long—term plan had assumed an increase of double that. nhs providers — which represents trusts in england — accused ministers of "snatching planned pay rises from the pockets of deserving nhs staff". four health unions have written to the chancellor, urging him to reconsider. our health editor hugh pym reports. nhs providers is the first employers' group to wade into the health service pay row in england. it argues that a long—term government financial plan for the nhs in 2019 included a commitment to pay staff a wage increase ofjust over 2% from this april. the organisation said the pandemic had strengthened the case for better staff pay, so it was very disappointing that only 1% was now being proposed. government sources said there was unprecedented strain on public finances, which could not have been foreseen when the nhs long—term plan was drawn up. the royal college of nursing and the unite union said they were considering strike action, but the health secretary defended the plan at the downing street briefing. the challenge is that the nation's finances are tight, and whilst everybody else in the public sector is going to have a pay freeze, we are able to propose a pay rise for nurses at 1%. i entirely appreciate that that reflects the difficult financial circumstances that the country is in. a government spokesperson said: "nhs staff continue to benefit from multi—pay deals, including over 12% for newly qualified nurses." but four health unions have written to the chancellor, calling on him to think again about a proposal they said was unfair to staff who had been on the front line of the pandemic. hugh pym, bbc news. our political correspondentjessica parkerjoins us now. morning to you. we knew there was going to be pressure on the government about this. jess, what are the chances of the government bowing to this mounting pressure? it isa it is a good question. at the moment, the government seem to be sticking to their guns on this one. the argument that we have been hearing over the last couple of theseis hearing over the last couple of these is that 1% is really what is affordable. after all the money that has been spent during the pandemic, and given the state of the economy as well. we know this recommendation has gone to what is known as the pay review body. they are expected to report back later. in a way, there is a bit of breathing space while the government can wait for what that peer review body recommends, but we have got this letter from unions emerging this morning. the threat of strike action as well. i think the other thing to watch out for is the ongoing public reaction. there are obviously a lot of arguments and debate around this issue, but what extent you see, for example, conservative mp5 post bags are inboxes filling up with people who may think this is the wrong decision if that is where the majority of public opinion mice, then you could seek conservative mp5 putting pressure on the government, as well. i would not say we are there yet, it would be interesting to see how this thing rambles on over the next few days. the government has spent more than £2.5 million on renovating a grade one listed building in downing street, so it can hold televised question—and—answer sessions with reporters. what's been the reaction to that? these are the white house style press briefings, which the government have said will increase transparency and they are going to be headed up by a formerjournalist, allegra stratton. they have been delayed because of the pandemic. the press association learning the building they have converted to do this has cost £2.6 million. what the government are saying is they had to put on audio and visual equipment, it is a grade one listed building, again suggesting they that it was going to be a little bit expensive in terms of renovating. and this will increase public transparency. but some people, some opposition mps, accusing them of indulging in a vanity project. mps, accusing them of indulging in a vanity project-— a soldier has died during a training exercise involving live ammunition in wales. our correspondent simonjones is in our london newsroom. simon, what more can you tell us about this incident? this happened at the castlemartin training range in pembrokeshire on thursday evening. it was a night—time exercise, which involved using live ammunition as part of the training. the mod have issued a brief statement, they have not given much detail about what happened, but they describe it as a tragic incident. they say the family of the soldier who died has been informed and their thoughts are with his family and friends. he has not been formally named. what we do know is he was a sergeant in the welsh guards. he had a lot of experience, a couple of years ago he was given a long service medal by prince charles, who is the kernel of the regiment. his father has paid tribute on facebook. he wrote that he was heartbroken and devastated, one of the hardest thing he had to do will stop he said his son loved thatjob and the family are all devastated, trying to come to terms with what happened. there are a number of investigations into what happened already under way. that is going to involve the local police, also the royal military police, plus the accident investigation branch. this is not the first incident to happen at this training venue. four years ago, a tank exploded, and that killed two soldiers. back in 2012, a soldier was killed, shot in the head, during a live training exercise. echoes of what happened this week. back then, the military insisted that they did have vigorous safety measures in place, but they said they would learn lessons, they would put improvements in place. i think some real question is now about how this has been able to happen again all these years on. thank you. a 16—year—old girl has died after an incident in the rhondda valley which left two men seriously injured — and under arrest. emergency services were called to reports of a stabbing outside a fast food shop in treorchy yesterday lunchtime. south wales police said the three people were known to each other and no—one else is being sought over the matter. an investigaton is ongoing. health authorities have successfully traced a previously unidentified person infected with a more contagious covid variant — which was first found in brazil. on sunday, it was announced that six cases of the p—1 variant had been found in the uk — but the identity of one of the cases was unknown. that person has now been found in croydon, in south london, where they had quarantined at home. there are fears that thousands of school children in england — and theirfamilies — could be forced to self—isolate as a result of so—called "false positives" when mass coronavirus testing begins next week. every secondary school pupil will be offered three rapid—result tests over the next fortnight as part of government plans to bring children back into the classroom. our health correspondent nick triggle has more. the tests that will be used in schools in england are designed to give a quick, on the spot results. but it is not for every 1000 carried out, between one and three will result in an incorrect positive result, a so—called pop false positive. when these tests are carried out at home, users are entitled to a standard covid test thatis entitled to a standard covid test that is processed in a lap to check the result is right. but this will not be happening with the tests in schools. instead, it will be assumed the rapid test is correct. the royal statistical society and testing experts are world low infection rates could cause a higher proportion of positive cases to be false, meaning thousands of pupils and families could be forced to isolate for no reason. the main concerns _ isolate for no reason. the main concerns are — isolate for no reason. the main concerns are that _ isolate for no reason. the main concerns are that actually i isolate for no reason. the main concerns are that actually the l isolate for no reason. the main i concerns are that actually the tests are not going to be finding very many cases at all. the data from the last week of testing from the government, from 300,000 children and staff being tested, they were finding one positive for every 1500 people being tested. that means that the tests are post missing cases and it is a large amount of effort and work being done, put into this, to find very, very little. the government _ find very, very little. the government insisted i find very, very little. the government insisted testing regime will have a positive impact by end i define asymptomatic cases that would otherwise be missed. this is around one in three people who have grown a virus has no symptoms. nasa's perseverance rover has taken its first drive on the surface of mars — two weeks after its arrival on the red planet. in the past few hours, the robot beamed new images back to earth. it can be seen testing its wheels, edging forwards, and spinning on the spot. the rover made a journey of around 20 feet during its inaugural mission. the world's oldest known wild bird has hatched a chick — at the age of 70. wisdom — an albatross that lives on a wildlife refuge in the north pacific — was first identified by researchers in 1956. albatrosses typically live between 12 and 40 years and tend to mate for life. so, at 70 years old, wisdom has defied the odds and outlived a number of previous partners. we were talking about whether or not you would know that that was the same albatross. one thing we did not say, the little tag on its like. the number. there is

that have had the procedure. the charity blames the increase on footballers and reality tv stars who have dogs with cropped ears and post pictures of them on social media. a warning — some viewers may find some of the details in charlotte gallagher's report distressing. this is eton, who is a neapolitan mastiff, when he was just a tiny puppy, his ears were cropped for no reason other than how it looked. it has affected him in so many ways. if you go to touch eton around his head, if you are someone he does not know, he is incredibly wary. it's like he's waiting for something unpleasant to be done to him. ear cropping is a painful procedure. dr samantha gaines is from the rspca. in some cases, part of that ear structure will be removed, then it will be splinted and then taped, so that the years then grow and heal back direct so that they stand up right. but in other cases, and what we are seeing quite a lot of now, particularly with american bully dogs, it's just where their ear is completely removed, so the entire ear flap is removed. in 2015, the rspca received 14 reports about ear cropping from callers in england and wales. by last year, that figure had risen to 101, a rise of 621%. the rspca says celebrities with these dogs is driving what it calls "a worrying trend." leigh—anne pinnock from little mix, love island's jack fincham, and the premier league footballer jesse lingard all own dogs with cropped ears. jesse lingard and jack fincham's pets came from firms that specialise in personal security dogs. these animals are imported from countries where ear cropping is not banned, and the companies are not breaking the law. leigh—anne pinnock�*s came from a uk breeder that was later prosecuted for cutting puppies' ears to make them look tougher. there is no suggestion the singer knew what was happening or condoned it. pinnock and lingard have not commented. jack fincham says he did not buy the dog, it was a rescue and going to a rehoming centre, adding that he does not condone ear cropping and thinks it is cruel. some celebrities are speaking out against the practice. people that have got a platform and social media presence, who are looked at as role models, they should be telling people no, this is not a good idea, rather than showing off their dog and saying, this is what it should be like. ear cropping is illegal in the uk, but it does still happen. however, one of the biggest problems is dogs being bought from overseas with their ears already cropped, that you can see on eton here. the rspca is now working to ban these imports. it is a measure that is supported by some mps. we could introduce a ban very simply in the act that is coming up, the agricultural bill coming up. we could introduce a ban on the import of dogs with cropped ears. the rspca believes unless this ban happens and attitudes changed towards ear cropping, we will see cases continue to rise in the uk. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. we'rejoined now by dr

latest development in a trend, a really worrying trend, around animal ownership, where it is all about the look. and a look that is driven by social media and influencers that has nothing to do with the welfare of the animals at all. in fact, it is actively detrimental to those animals. so it really is a very bad situation. what really is a very bad situation. what is the impact _ really is a

it is about thinking about this trend, the situation we have got into with dogs as fashion accessories. really, yourself it is not worth animal suffering. can we have a think and try to be proud of

dog breeding, purchasing of puppies, is very worrying. there are a lot of people, not desirable people, really involved at the moment. they are not focused on the health of the animal, so take your time, do your research, explore the website, reputable charities like the rspca, have a look for breeders who are using the puppy look for breeders who are using the puppy contract. we would away sea rescue, if you can, from a reputable rescue. because there are some people claiming they are rescuing dogs, but they are just selling them. you're looking for a valued family member that is going to be with yourfamily for family member that is going to be with your family for many years, so just taking that time, investing that time in doing your research, and focusing on the welfare of the dog and not a look. which will go out of fashion.— out of fashion. doctor caroline allen, it has _ out of fashion. doctor caroline allen, it has been _ out of fashion. doctor caroline allen, it has been

has said that the practice of mutilating dogs is abhorrent and has rightly been banned in the uk for 15 years. we already have some of the world's highest animal welfare standards. now we have left the eu, we have the opportunity to manage our own rules and including considering the ban of imports of dogs with cropped ears. it is 8:20am. here's 0wain with a look at this morning's weather. it is quite good to have news of high pressure at the weekend. it is nice to see a bit of blue sky, a bit of sunshine when we can. we have had some lovely weather watcher pictures this morning. thank you so much for those. it tells a bit of a story. we will get to them in just a second. i pressure over the uk at the moment. moving into western parts of scotland. there are very cloudy conditions across many parts of scotland and the north of the uk. having said that, we are starting to see some sunny spells developing now and a bit of blue sky. really, that is the detail we can give today. we are going to see outbreaks of rain and some showers across northern and western parts of scotland, but for most of us it should be dry. it will be a cloudy one and it is cold out there. temperatures dip below freezing for many of us last night. needless to say, it is a chilly start to your strategy. some sunny spells developing. the odd shower for eastern parts to cut down towards the south—east of england. most will fizzle out. heavier showers, that i mentioned earlier, across western parts of scotland, aberdeenshire probably staying largely dry. further south is where we are likely to see the drier conditions. top temperatures of about 7—8 the best today. overnight, we are still in the company of that weather front. we are still in the company of that weatherfront. this now very we are still in the company of that weather front. this now very slowly pivots towards the east and south. we see those showers more widespread across northern parts of scotland in particular. elsewhere should be largely dry and there will be another cold one. we are bathed in blue colours you're on the map, which means of course those temperatures dipping close to, if not below, freezing. we are talking about a chilly start to the day tomorrow. some sunny spells first thing. we still have this weather front introducing a conveyor belt of showers into western parts of scotland, very slowly moving towards the east. sunny spells in the morning. if you get them, you are probably less likely to see them through the afternoon. they are not completely... we will not completely avoid them but they will not be as likely. tomorrow's top temperature 7-8. the likely. tomorrow's top temperature 7—8. the high pressure is still there. here come some fronts. these introduce something less settled. this is the big change, really, from monday into tuesday. still a lot of dry weather around across much of england and wales. northern ireland and scotland will start to see something, not only be sure, but also cloudier and wetter. as we progress through the day on monday. highs of io progress through the day on monday. highs of 10 degrees. thejet stream is the conveyor belt on which areas of low pressure are often brought to us. that is the story through this week. this is what the weather app is looking like tomorrow. sunday should be dry in plymouth, whereas on wednesday pulled cloudier with strong winds and heavy rain. i will keep you posted. strong winds and heavy rain. i will keep you posted-— keep you posted. thank you very much, keep you posted. thank you very much. 0wain- — nasa's perseverance rover has taken its first drive on the surface of mars — two weeks after its arrival on the red planet. the robot beamed these images back to earth overnight. it can be seen testing its wheels, edging forward, we understand the engineers were checking it could move properly. the rover made a journey of around 20 feet during its inaugural mission. it's now preparing to search sediment which was left by rivers and lakes billions of years ago — and which may provide evidence of tiny lifeforms. got to be. professor andrew coates is part of the perseverance camera team, and joins us now from guildford. good morning to you. how excited are you at this moment in time? it is you at this moment in time? it is fantastic to _ you at this moment in time? it is fantastic to see _ you at this moment in time? it is fantastic to see the _ you at this moment in time? it 3 fantastic to see the images and the fact it has had its first drive on mars. this is a driving test for what is to come. it has only driven seven metres or so, but it has been able to get into position, everything seems to have gone well. we will do another drive, and then shortly we will actually launch this little helicopter which it has on board. really exciting, actually, to be seeing this all happening. and be seeing this all happening. and ou are at be seeing this all happening. and you are at the — be seeing this all happening. and you are at the control, you're at the helm of the camera. actually, we are not at the — the helm of the camera. actually, we are not at the helm _ the helm of the camera. actually, we are not at the helm of— the helm of the camera. actually, we are not at the helm of this _ are not at the helm of this particular camera. we are at the helm of a camera which is going into your time on the russell and franklin rover. that is the european space agency and russian mission. that is also looking for signs of life on mars. we are involved in this one, so i am a co—investigator on this. they're watching the images coming in, collaborating with the team. it is an instrument called mars cam z, which sits of the mast, which is of the perseverance rubber. it takes stereo images and zoom images. this is to get the geology context for where to actually get the samples. the samples which it will gather will eventually be brought back to earth, so the idea is to store these samples, drilling six centimetres into rocks to get samples, which could tell is about life on mars. so it weaves those layers for a few years, there is a mission to launch in 2026 or 2028, to actually bring those samples back. that will look for signs of life. our mission into your time will be doing that as well. there is a big uk involvement in that particular mission.— a big uk involvement in that particular mission. a big uk involvement in that articular mission. ., ., ., particular mission. people are aware there is a flying _ particular mission. people are aware there is a flying machine... - particular mission. people are aware there is a flying machine. .. i - there is a flying machine... i understand it is held underneath the rover, is that right? it is clamped onto the rover, so why is this so significant? why is having something fly on mars, why is it so special? at the moment, this is under the belly of the rover. with the camera system, you can say it's a little antenna poking out. it is definitely there and ready to go. it is important to do this because it has never been done before. actually flying in a powered way on another body. that is something that has not been done in a controlled way. this helicopter will take off once it has dropped from the belly of the rover, it will power up in a few days' time and then hopefully take off into the thin atmosphere of mars. mars's atmosphere is about i% of the density of the earth's atmosphere, so it is difficult to do. so this is one of the reasons people have not done it before. this is a technology test, it is not really part of the science of the mission. the science of the mission is more about looking at the samples and trying to understand whether there was life on mars and eventually bring those samples back to earth. with a joint nasa and european space agency mission in a few years time. the uk will play a big role in that, as welcome as that is very exciting. but this helicopter, to say that going on mars, people have talked about this as being a wright brothers moment, to actually have the first light on another body anywhere else in the solar system is just amazing to be able to watch that. with the camera system, we will be able to say that take—off and land, so we will be imaging it. it will be looking at us, as well. so it will be a great sort of mixture of images which we will get from that, after of course the amazing images on landing as well. can i ask you a slightly different question. when you're a slightly young professor, when you were ten or eight or something like that, were you one of those people who have been thinking, we will be living on mars in 2021? or would you have been thinking we will never get to mars? because some people think, in a way, we have not made much progress, we thought we would be further down the line. h progress, we thought we would be further down the line.— progress, we thought we would be further down the line. i was growing u . further down the line. i was growing u- at a further down the line. i was growing up at a time — further down the line. i was growing up at a time of _ further down the line. i was growing up at a time of the _ further down the line. i was growing up at a time of the moon _ further down the line. i was growing up at a time of the moon landings. l up at a time of the moon landings. that was one of the things that inspired me to go into science and into space science in particular. of course, i have always been amazed at the night sky. i was looking at bars last night, actually. you can see that very clearly near the orion constellation. as a youngster, i was definitely interested in potentially further flights into the solar system. but personally, i am further flights into the solar system. but personally, iam not keen on robotic exploration. human exploration is very exploration and very risky. so our best way of doing this type of exploration is robotically. i think with mars, in particular, we need to understand whether there ever was or is life on mars now to be able to... before we sent people. sending people eventually is something we will want to do as a species, to grow outwards, to be able to do that. the moon landings, as i say, were very inspirational, but also personally i found the voyager mission to you're in s and neptune very inspirational as well. i have been very lucky to be involved any of missions. one which went to saturn. now perseverance, but also the rover into your time. this has been an amazing leap in a careerfor me, but not involving human exploration. we can do more science like that because we can travel further, do more for a lower cost by actually sending robots. perseverance is a great example of that. when it gets the helicopter up, i am really looking forward to seeing that going on mars. in particular, looking forward to seeing, searching with suspicion and the next one. we are all lookin: suspicion and the next one. we are all looking forward _ suspicion and the next one. we are all looking forward to _ suspicion and the next one. we are all looking

very much. stay with us, lots more coming up. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. four health unions in england have written to the chancellor to say he has a "duty" to nhs workers following their efforts during the pandemic and urged him to increase the 1% pay rise he's offering. the government insists it reflects current pressure on public finances and represents what is affordable. the challenge is that the nation's finances are tight and whilst everybody else in the public sector is going to have a pay freeze, we are going to propose a pay rise for nurses at 1%. i entirely appreciate that that reflects the difficult financial circumstances that the country is in. what i would say to every nurse who is watching and everybody who has worked so hard is we have, over this pandemic, pulled together in an incredible way and i really hope we can continue doing that. we're joined now by emergency care doctor simon walsh, who is deputy chair of the british medical association's consultants committee. very good morning to you, thank you for your time. you will have less and i'm sure very closely to the health secretary —— listened carefully. what they are outlining is straightforward, they say it is fair, more than other people are getting and it is all there is. good mornin: , getting and it is all there is. good morning. and _ getting and it is all there is. good morning, and thanks _ getting and it is all there is. good morning, and thanks for - getting and it is all there is. (ems morning, and thanks for having me. firstly, let's be clear, what the chancellor is proposing, 1%, will in fact be a pay cut, given that the office for budget responsibility, who the government trusts in a forecasting inflation of predicting inflation will rise to 1.5% in the coming year, so this is not a pay increase, it is a pay cut. it reflects the government is really out of touch with the feeling of the public on this. the public have shown their generous support for health care workers and their understanding of the pressures that health care workers are literally laying their lives on the line through the pandemic and then to be faced with this announcement, not evenin faced with this announcement, not even in the budget, but it sneaked in afterwards, is completely astonishing for health care workers and the public i think. the point is of course health care workers are upset, but we are seeing the public are really not understanding why the government could be so callous in the wake of promising the nhs would get everything they need. we the wake of promising the nhs would get everything they need.— get everything they need. we spoke to sarah gordon _ get everything they need. we spoke to sarah gordon from _ get everything they need. we spoke to sarah gordon from the _ get everything they need. we spoke to sarah gordon from the trade - get everything they need. we spoke l to sarah gordon from the trade union unison and i think it would be fair to say she is reticent to start talking about strike action, at what point that would come in, but she said it was clearly a possibility if things did not change in this period of time. where are you on that? any health workers, anyone involved in the nhs, the thought of taking strike action, everyone understands it is something that is hard to countenance. would you support strike action by nhs staff? is countenance. would you support strike action by nhs staff? is that ou 'ust strike action by nhs staff? is that you just said. _ strike action by nhs staff? is that you just said, the _ strike action by nhs staff? is that you just said, the health - strike action by nhs staff? is that you just said, the health care - you just said, the health care workers, it is not in their nature to want to strike. it is the last thing any of us would want to do. there are other options available to us before we get to that point, as he said in your introduction, the bma, who i represent who represents doctors across the uk, has written to the chancellor this morning, yesterday rather, and urged him to reconsider this decision, but it is completely out of touch with the public and we hope that recommendation is revised to the pay review body. the pay review body has a role in this and we hope that they will take on board both our evidence which we have submitted but also the public support for what people have seen health care workers doing over the last two years and we hope the pay review body reflects that when they come back to make their recommendation to the government. we absolutely do not want to be in a situation where health care workers are going on strike and the government has plenty of opportunity to avoid that if they listen to the trade unions and the public on this, they then can avoid this. at the moment, they seem to be, and i hope they realise, their policies are in danger of preventing the nhs being able to recover from this danger of preventing the nhs being able to recoverfrom this pandemic and catch up with the backlog of work, because this derisory recommendation, along with pension taxation issues which are preventing consultants from working initial hours, in fact forcing them to reduce hours and retire early, it is almost impossible to understand how the government cannot see that this will stop the nhs being able to do exactly what the country needs it to do. $5 exactly what the country needs it to do. ~ , , ., exactly what the

what is recommended and make a choice that could be different from the 1% that stands now or it could remain exactly as it is. cannot you plot through with me, it is kind of the same question i asked him to go, if that is the case, well nhs nurses, staff, can you see that happening? can you see a point, given the anger and frustration we have already seen from some of your colleagues, that could happen? l’m colleagues, that could happen? i'm afraid we colleagues, that could happen? in afraid we are in unprecedented territory here. doctors, nurses, all health care workers have been through the most torrid time over the last two years and during my work as a medicine consultant, and also as an air ambulance doctor, i have been going into intensive care units and helping to transfer critically ill patients did units —— from units which are beyond capacity, so i've met many intensive care unit nurses who are already on the point of saying i cannot do this any more. of this will only add to that feeling. we need to be supporting the health care workers in it being able to recover from what we have just been through so they can continue to do what the public needs and help us recover from this pandemic. as you say, health care workers do not ever want to go on strike and i can only speak for the british medical association, we have heard reports from other trade unions about those considering strike action, and we will be consulting our members about what action we should take, but the initial stages our path is trying to persuade the government that this is a politically misjudged decision and needs to be changed and we trust and hope that the pay review body will also understand and make a recommendation which is far more in line with what is both deserved and expected by health care workers and the public. we expected by health care workers and the ublic. ~ ., expected by health care workers and the ublic. ~ . , expected by health care workers

can talk about your dayjob and what you actually do and everyone is full of respect that your profession and what you do at the moment, so thank you. it is time for the sport and we need to find out what is going on in the cricket. england are once again being completely outplayed by india — there's little hope of them saving the series now. they're 88—6 on day three of the final test — still 72 runs behind. it could well all be over, by half nine, when we'll bring you the latest action . let's concentrate on football this hour. you can always lift the mood, but maybe not for celtic fans this weekend. we'll be talking about this on football focus today, rangers could actually win the title in scotland this weekend after a long period of dominance from celtic. rangers take on st mirren, celtic play dundee united tomorrow, so things go rangers' way it will be at their title. as i said, for the first time in a long time. we will speak to a former rangers player and it is that steven gerard's third season at the club, so all things to consider. steven gerrard has been speaking this week and saying it does not matter if we win it this weekend, he does not want to rush it, just wants to make sure he secured the title. talking of scottish football, a lovely piece on the groundsman ron and a kit man as well. we are also looking at west ham who have had a reliant season, flirting with relegation last time, david moyes was not that popular when he took over at the club, but they are around the top ball, they have one seven out of ten of their league games and he is talking about the fact that other teams are looking at west ham and at the moment he is understandably positive. i can see four or five teams who are easily chasing me down and four or five teams who, you know, at the start of the season every one of your pundits will tell you that they were going to finish above west ham, me too. but we have put up a really good fight at the moment and we have been resilient in most of the games, we have had a goal. yes, we have lost some and some we have won, but i am looking up and i'm trying to say can i try and catch the teams above me? west ham take on mike's team on monday. sticking with west ham, we will be talking about a couple of really sad deaths this week. one of them is ian stjohn who played with distinction for motherwell and a hugely popular part of that amazing tv duo, who many of us will have watched growing up, introducing us to a real love of football and his friend will be paying tribute to ian stjohn on the programme. we have ashley williams and jermaine in the studio, talking about manchester derby, manchester city, 1a point lead at the top. we have spoken to young fans who support manchester united and manchester city. we will be live at bramall lane where sheffield united, after a win in midweek, take on southampton who are in a terrible run of form. we will hearfrom a in a terrible run of form. we will hear from a chelsea striker who has struggled to settle in, chelsea play everton on sunday and also speak to burton albion. we will also speak about a comic relief challenge where they are trying to raise

see millions of them rot in the field because of a shortage of seasonal pickers, which growers blame on the government's post—brexit visa scheme. jon kay reports. it is a beautiful springtime site, but not for daffodil farmerjames walkers. it is heartbreaking, it is heartbreaking. it's just saddening to see flowers going to waste. when they're yellow, it's too late to pick them so 50 million daffodils are being left here to rot. everybody loves to see it, it looks really, really nice as you drive around the county, but to a grower, it's a crop loss. we would like to see nice green fields at this time of the year which we know have been picked. like other farmers, james has come to rely on seasonal workers from europe. but this spring he only has half the number he needs. aurimas has officially settled in the uk, but his lithuanian friends have stayed away. there are some who don't want to come any more because of all the brexit, especially this year, there's not many people in the field, as you can see. so we need more workers here. farmers hoped they may be able to turn back the clock and attract more local workers like they did in the past. pickers today can earn £1000 a week. how many british workers have you got here now? none, no british workers at all. we had five young lads who came to work for us and then it got wet and it was windy and their backs ached — theyjust said they couldn't hack it any more. the government has given 30,000 visas this year to foreign fruit and vegetable pickers, but farmers say the scheme also needs to include flowers. ministers have promised they will make sure that all sectors will have the labour they need in future. if you're wondering why the farmers don'tjust use machinery to pick the daffodils instead, well, they say it's not really practical because there are so many different varieties of flower, all growing at different heights, and blooming at different times. they say without changes, their industry could also wither and die. jon kay, bbc news, cornwall. do you like daffodils? well, that looked absolutely _ do you like daffodils? well, that looked absolutely beautiful. - those daffodils might think it's spring but the temperatures overnight were not so sure. they are not a huge fan of the cold. we were saying earlier, we are me to logically —— meet it is beyond chilly, a cold start to the day. a. they might suffer some of us, seeing a bit of sunshine, but it is still cloudy in places. the one thing to remember about today as wherever we are we are being affected by this area of high pressure. this weather front which is moving into western parts of scotland is going to introduce some cloud and showers, but there is the headline for the weekend, dry for most and a cloudy and chilly start to the day. the weather front i mentioned is bringing showers into the western isles, northern isles, eventually reaching men in scotland as well. as i, much of england and wales —— reaching mainland scotland. it is a repeat performance tonight, cold once more, and the weather front is meeting cold air, so on higher ground could see sleet or snow. the map is awash in blue, temperatures dipping below freezing for many once more. a cold start to the day may have a good—looking start for most, some such an offer. card will tend to build across many parts of england and wales as we head through the day, cloudy across scotland and northern ireland, that weather front is producing scotland and northern ireland, that weatherfront is producing rain scotland and northern ireland, that weather front is producing rain and tomorrow's highs reaching eight if we look a little deeper into the crystal ball if you like, high pressure is still there, but eyes to the west, we have a weather front moving and which will introduce thicker cloud, rain, and this is where we start to see a transition from what we are seeing now, which is colder, drierfor most from what we are seeing now, which is colder, drier for most of us, into something less settled, because the jet stream gets going as we move through it was the middle of the week, turning wet and windy. that is how it is looking. thanks very much, see you later. home—schooling is almost over for most families in england, after two months of tears, tantrums and torn—up worksheets. is that overstating it? maybe it has been lovely. mar; is that overstating it? maybe it has been lovely-— with most pupils back in their proper classrooms from monday, breakfast�*sjohn maguire has been catching up with some families as they mark the end of an era. some have enjoyed it, some not so much. it's the end of term at mum and dad primary. what did we all think when the prime minister said that schools were going back on the eighth of march? laughter. the school desk returns to being a kitchen table. once again, whiteboards are for shopping lists, and pyjamas are for bedtime, not lesson time. so how has it been? we brought three families together to share their experiences. it's been frustrating! for me, it has been quite frustrating. i mean, one thing now, i have a new—found ultimate respect for teachers out there, because they are brilliant, they are absolutely fantastic, and i have really learned how hard it is to teach. you think, yeah, it's easy. but it's not. it's a real skill, verging on a gift, to teach children and consistently engage them and keep them engaged and push all that information into their heads, you know. but we haven't been left to our own devices. we've had some incredible support from the school, incredible teachers, head teachers, who have been putting weekly guidance on their school website, so as parents we know exactly what to teach and on what day, but we as parents, obviously we have to work as well. dean has been doing maths in the morning with rose and i have been doing english in the afternoon and lots of other different fun activities, just to engage. rose, what do you reckon? what have mum and dad been like? you can be honest. they've been good. i've been happy about spending time with my family. _ and not just sitting - in a classroom with, like, having not much fun. mummy school, i guess it depends on what mood everyone is in in the morning, which is always different and always unexpected, and you always have a plan and inevitably it fails because every day is different. it presents different problems, internet intermittent problems, people turning up, making a big din, distractions to home—schooling, which you wouldn't get in a home—schooling environment. the dog going crazy outside. things that you don't even notice in normal life suddenly become so huge. is mummy a good school teacher? no. that's not very nice! for a last day treat, i made them some t—shirts, so we just thought, let's go out with a bang. i have enjoyed just spending a little bit more time with them. it is something that i would never, well, you would never expect you would be able to do. as challenging as it has been, having to home—school, and the arguments, and the tears, and the tantrums, having the children here, it has actually been really lovely. it has been kind of stressing, because every day we have to do to hard work and learning. as for the professionals, they realise that returning to school will be harder for some children than others. next week, really, it is a bit like when you go to the swimming pool. there are some people who cannonball in or dive off the top board but there are others who are a bit tentative and want to dip their toes in. it's a little bit like that. but eventually everybody goes swimming and we all have a good time. and somebody else who will be very glad to get back to business as usual is zane powles. the assistant head teacher has been delivering meals to people's home during lockdown, and he has proved his mettle is stronger than, well, metal, as his trolley has succumbed to the hundreds of miles zane has been covering. so, back to lessons, back to seeing friends, and for home—school teachers, it's back to the dayjob — just being parents. john mcguire, bbc news. and a round of applause! well done, parents. well done, mr and mrs mum and dad. quite right too, a round of applause. hopefully people are relieved, having a great weekend. let's get some expert views on this. sally maddison is a head teacher from nottingham and stacy moore is an educational psychologist. good morning to you both. stacey, let's begin with you, psychology, in terms of how this has impacted children, there is going to be that immense excitement, i imagine, of getting back, seeing mates, having fun again, but under such a different environment with new restrictions.—

i love that analogy that was used in your reports, children bombing straight into the swimming pool. there will be those children who are feeling anxious about it. even if there is that excitement, inevitably we know from psychology of transition and change there is always at that period of uncertainty where you are not quite sure if things will be exactly the way they were before and a period of time to reorientate yourself to the surroundings that were previously familiar but taken away in a very un—timely fashion. sally, you will be aware of the mixed emotions, how are you managing that

children, because of inaccurate coronavirus test results. nasa's perseverance rover takes its first drive on the surface of mars, as it begins to explore the red planet. england cling on until tea, but they are facing defeat to india in the final test and series after another batting collapse today. and high pressure is here this weekend, so we should see plenty of dry and settled conditions. but over the coming days, we see quite a dramatic change. i will be back with all the details. it's saturday the 6th of march. our top story. pressure is mounting on the government over its proposed pay offer of 1% for health workers in england — after it was claimed that a long—term plan had assumed an increase of double that. nhs providers — which represents trusts in england — accused ministers of "snatching planned pay rises from the pockets of deserving nhs staff". four health unions have written to the chancellor, urging him to reconsider. our health editor hugh pym reports. nhs providers is the first employers group to wade into the health service pay row in england. it argues that a long—term government financial plan for the nhs in 2019 included a commitment to pay staff a wage increase ofjust over 2% from this april. the organisation said the pandemic has strengthened the case for better staff pay, so it was very disappointing that only 1% was now being proposed. government sources said there was an unprecedented strain on public finances which couldn't have been foreseen when the nhs long—term plan was drawn up. the royal college of nursing and the unite union said they were considering strike action. but the health secretary defended the plan at a downing street briefing. the challenge is that the nation's finances are tight, and while everybody else in the public sector is going to have a pay freeze, we are able to give a — to propose a pay rise for nurses, at 1%. i entirely appreciate that that reflects the difficult financial circumstances that the country is in. a government spokesperson said nhs staff continued to benefit from multi—year pay deals, including over 12% for newly qualified nurses. but four health unions have written to the chancellor, calling on him to think again about the proposal. they said it was unfair to staff who had been on the front line of the pandemic. hugh pym, bbc news. our political correspondent jessica parkerjoins us now. we have a situation here, don't we? an angry, dismayed nhs workforce and a government that is sticking absolutely to what they say is all they can afford. where does it go? that is a really interesting question. something that will be tracked over the coming days as the reaction from the government's own party. it was interesting earlier today, doctor poulter, a conservative mp and health minister, saying he has been working on the front line during the pandemic, that from a moral perspective he thinks there is a wrong time to go for this kind of pay restraint. even argues it can be counter—productive as it makes it harder for the it can be counter—productive as it makes it harderfor the nhs to retain staff and then they spend more on agency staff, and that kind of thing. another conservative mp has said, in terms of a reaction, they have been getting from the public, how upset, angry people are at this, the response hasn't, at the moment, been overwhelming. it will be interesting to see what pressure builds on the backbenches. the government would have known that by suggesting this 1% pay increase, they were likely to anger unions, likely to attract criticism from opposition parties, they would have known to some extent and been ready for that. known to some extent and been ready forthat. i known to some extent and been ready for that. i think the question now is to what extent this row keeps rambling on and how heated it gets. 0f rambling on and how heated it gets. of course, we have got this threat of strike action, as well. br; of

a bit of redecoration becomes more important. these are not like for like figures, but as you say £2.5 million it has been revealed has been spent. this is from a freedom of information request from the press association. it has been spent on decking out number nine downing st, which will be used for white house style briefings to be fronted by the prime minister's spokesperson, allegra stratton. what the government are saying is they needed to put in audio and visual equipment, a grade one listed building, the suggestion that it one listed building, the suggestion thatitis one listed building, the suggestion that it is a slightly more expensive to refurbish older buildings. they argue it is all part of a project to allow for greater transparency by having these public televised white house style briefings, that have been delayed, have not started happening yet. some opposition mps are accusing them of pursuing a vanity project. are accusing them of pursuing a vanity project-— are accusing them of pursuing a vani ro'ect. ., ,, ,, , . a soldier has died during a training exercise involving live ammunition in wales. our correspondent simonjones is in our london newsroom. simon, what more can you tell us about this incident? this happened at the castlemartin training base in pembrokeshire on thursday evening. it was a night—time training exercise involving the firing of live ammunition. the mod have issued a statement, they have not given any great detail about exactly what happened, but they describe this as a tragic incident. they say the family of the soldier involved has been informed and their thoughts are with the soldier's family and his friends. he has not been named formally, but what we do know is he was a sergeant with the welsh guard. he had had a distinguished career, just a couple of years ago he got a long service medal awarded by prince charles, the kernel of the regiment, we have also heard from the soldier's father, who has paid tribute on facebook. he said it is probably the hardest thing he has had to write. he says he is devastated and hard broken, he says his son died doing a job he loved and was very proud of his son. a major investigation is under way. that is going to involve the royal military police, also the local police, and the accident investigation branch. but this is not the first time there has been an incident at this training base. four years ago, a tank exploded during a training exercise. that killed two soldiers. back in 2012, with echoes of what happened this week, a soldier was killed when he was shot in the head during a training exercise. back then, the military insisted there were adequate safety procedures in place, but it said it would learn lessons, it would improve things. so now some major questions this morning about how a similar incident has happened again almost ten years on.— almost ten years on. simon, thank ou ve almost ten years on. simon, thank you very much- _ there are fears that thousands of school children in england — and theirfamilies — could be forced to self—isolate as a result of so—called "false positives" when mass coronavirus testing begins next week. every secondary school pupil will be offered three rapid—result tests over the next fortnight as part of government plans to bring children back into the classroom. our health correspondent nick triggle has more. the tests that will be used in schools in england are designed to give quick, on the spot results. but it's thought that for every 1000 carried out, between one in three will result in an incorrect positive result, a so—called "false positive." when these tests are carried out at home, users are entitled to a standard covid test that's processed in a lab to check the result is right. but this will not be happening with the tests in schools. instead, it will be assumed to be rapid test is correct. the royal statistical society and testing experts are worried low infection rates could cause a higher proportion of positive cases to be false, and many thousands of pupils and families could be forced to isolate for no reason. the main concerns are that actually, tests are not going to be finding very many cases at all. the data from the last week of testing from the government, from 300,000 children and staff being tested, they were finding one positive for every 1,500 people being tested. and that means the tests are both missing cases, and it's a large amount of effort and work being done, being put into this, to find very, very little. but government insists the testing regime will have a positive impact by identifying asymptomatic cases that would otherwise be missed. it says around one in three people who have coronavirus have no symptoms. nick triggle, bbc news. nasa's perseverance rover has taken its first drive on the surface of mars — two weeks after its arrival on the red planet. in the past few hours, the robot beamed new images back to earth. it

and fast numbers, data, to support what we had hoped would happen all along. that data includes things like the response to vaccination was. we saw these exciting report from the university of edinburgh last week looking at people vaccinated across scotland and the impact of those vaccinations, showing more than 90% protection in the people we regard as most at risk from coronavirus infection, the oldest people. we also very encouragingly saw data from cambridge university being released last week showing that people who are vaccinated have a fourfold lower rate of being a symptomatically infected with the virus compared to people who are not yet vaccinated. that is really encouraging because it shows that not only are we going to be able to impact on the thing we are really concerned about, a loss of life, she just alluded to come up you will and ending up in hospital, but also stopping transmission of the infection among the community. this was emphasised again by matt hancock at yesterday's press briefing, a very significant proportion, maybe as many as half of cases of coronavirus cover have no key stomach symptoms whatsoever. that is why it has been such a headache to gain control because people do not know they have it. if you can break that chain of transmission, that is really encouraging. that that chain of transmission, that is really

data _ programme? it is early days and these data are _ programme? it is early days and these data are still _ programme? it is early days and these data are still being - these data are still being accumulated and growing. but what we can say is, if you plot a curve of who is catching the coronavirus, who is not vaccinated, and who is catching the coronavirus who is backstage, because most of the vaccinations are concentrated among the older age groups, you can see that the two rates are different. there are fewer infections occurring now in people who have been vaccinated and are in the older age groups compared with people who have not yet been vaccinated. that would argue, does not prove, but that would strongly argue that the vaccination programme is helping to cut down the rate

had a thought on that, but i will get this question in as well, maybe you can give to answers. sarah is asking, do you think it is a good idea to aim to send all children back to school on the same day in england. i should caveat that many schools are saying there is going to be a staggered start in terms of the dais. filth be a staggered start in terms of the dais. , , , ., ., dais. on the tests, first of all, it is important _ dais. on the tests, first of all, it is important to remember i dais. on the tests, first of all, it is important to remember that l dais. on the tests, first of all, it. is important to remember that no testis is important to remember that no test is perfect what these tests can do is to shift the r value, they give us some ability to detect at least some cases, some of the time. that means we can afford, if you think of this like a seesaw, if we load the seesaw with a bit of risk of opening schools on the one side, you mitigate that risk by putting an equivalent weight on the other side of the seesaw to keep things balanced. even though the tests are not perfect, no test is, they do add something, and that means we help to mitigate or balance risk. that is what this is all about, mitigating and balancing the risks. in terms of, is it the right thing to do to open schools are all at once question mark it is hard to know. there is no rule book that says, in this situation, you do the following. we have never been in the situation, we have never been down this path before. we have to make a reasonablejudgment this path before. we have to make a reasonable judgment based on what we think a reasonable approximation of the risk is. the risks are much, much lower now than they were after christmas. we now think that across the country, certainly in england, about one in 250 people currently has the infection at any one time. that is obviously a lot higher than where we were last summer, but it is a lot better than where we were at the beginning of the year. supported by continuing public health measures that we are all following, supported by testing, but also remember we are now in a position where the vast majority of the people who are most at risk and most vulnerable before have now been given vaccines that we know, from data we are getting coming in, are very effective at preventing infection and also, more critically, preventing serious disease in those people. so i think things will be ok, but obviously you can never say never. you can never say for sure. can never say never. you can never say for

stayt. it is just after 9:30am, good morning. there's just a couple of days now until we get to see the duke and duchess of sussex, harry and meghan, in conversation with oprah winfrey. the interview will air on us television on sunday night, which means it will be all over our screens by the time we wake up on monday. let's take a look at the latest clip to be released. as an adult, who lived a really independent life, to then go into this construct that is different than i think what people imagine it to be, it is really liberating to be able to have the right and the privilege, in some ways, to be able to say yes, i'm ready to talk. and to say it for yourself, not to have to consult with anybody. yes, to be able to just make a choice on your own and speak for yourself. camilla tominey is an associate editor at the daily telegraph who has reported on the royals for many years. shejoins us now. good morning to you. we know it the way these big interviews work in the sense of how they drip feed us to tease those who are interested as to what is coming up. has anything surprised you or has it lent itself to the idea that this is going to be very revealing and potentially damaging? i very revealing and potentially damaging?— very revealing and potentially damauain? ~ ., ., ., damaging? i think we already know the sussex is _ damaging? i think we already know the sussex

the press, that they perhaps were not supported enough by the institution of monarchy and that they feel that they did not have their say. so i suppose that these teasers which have been released by cbs to ramp up interest in this interview, as if there wasn't interest ready, and there is a lot of money going into this two our special, and there has already been acres written and we have not even watched it yet. acres written and we have not even watched it yet-— watched it yet. what are you exoecting? _ watched it yet. what are you exoecting? l _ watched it yet. what are you expecting? i am _

british press the stop i don't know if we can expect them to start attacking royal relatives, i can't imagine that there will be insensitive enough to start having a go at the queen, not least when the duke of edinburgh remains in hospital. i appreciate it is pre—recorded, so there are events that have happened in the period since. what will be interesting is how they get around allegations that have been made against the couple which will not be covered in the interview because they came out on wednesday. this interview because they came out on wednesday-— wednesday. this interview draws a

they faced too much scrutiny, that there property was being invaded and they wanted to live a quieter life. people have obviously questioned the ability of them to do that if they are going to la, which everyone knows is a goldfish bowl in itself, but notwithstanding any of those issues, if you go on a two our prime time tv special which will be broadcast around the globe giving your side of the story, i think it is impossible then for people not to come forward with their alternative narrative and equally if they do poke the hornet�*s nast, they may end “p poke the hornet�*s nast, they may end up getting stunned, i cannot see this story ending once they have given their story on monday, others will want to contribute and question that narrative.— that narrative. when we talk about the narrative, _ that narrative. when we talk about the narrative, you _ that narrative. when we talk about the narrative, you look— that narrative. when we talk about the narrative, you look at - that narrative. when we talk about the narrative, you look at the - the narrative, you look at the coverage of harry and meghan and some of the narrative has been very much that meghan has driven that there is a move to the united states and has taken harry along with the journey and lead this, a lot of the language has changed, particularly from harry, but his concerns about his family's safety and putting himself out there as someone who has driven this move. to himself out there as someone who has driven this move.— driven this move. to be fair, the narrative has _ driven this move. to be fair, the narrative has not _ driven this move. to be fair, the narrative has not changed. - driven this move. to be fair, thej narrative has not changed. harry first said he wanted to protect meghan and it about history repeating itself as soon as she came on the scene in 2016. he issued via his communications secretary and unprecedented statement talking about her being in danger and then throughout the time they were in the royal family made these comparisons to his mother, princess diana, and the sense they were being hounded by the sense they were being hounded by the press. i do not think that narrative has changed. i think people probably do a tribute to more response ability to meghan for the move, forgetting that prince harry is a grown adult, but over the years there has been a sense that perhaps everyone remembers the princes as losing their mother. we know he was not particularly happy with his press coverage and had a reputation of wanting to have a bit more of a modern role in the family and combined with meghan that get that notion of them being mistreated rocket fuel. the activist and author nova reid was part of the bbc�*s coverage of harry and meghan's wedding. shejoins us now from north london. time has passed from that wedding day and i know you were there in windsor and watched it unfold. give us the thought process of between then and now and where they are now as compared to what that moment represented. by, as compared to what that moment represented-— represented. a lot has happened. certainly harry — represented. a lot has happened. certainly harry issued _ represented. a lot has happened. certainly harry issued a _ represented. a lot has happened. l certainly harry issued a concerning statement in 2016 that was already signifying there were racist undertones from the present towards meghan, calling it to stop, so i do not think anything has changed. since their wedding there was this sense that there was this acceptance of her marrying into the british monarchy, but it was underneath that dysfunction of a lot of dramatic behaviour and racism that clearly became untenable for them. obviously we are awaiting

they will directly address the issue you were talking about, about the way they perceive there to be undertones of racism in the way that she has been treated and they are possibly as a couple have

in a way that is the significance of a set piece interview like this, as they set themselves, it is an opportunity to speak freely and possibly about issues like that.— issues like that. definitely, i think harry _ issues like that. definitely, i think harry has _ issues like that. definitely, i think harry has addressed i issues like that. definitely, i think harry has addressed it| issues like that. definitely, 1. think harry has addressed it and talked about racial bias. he has talked about racial bias. he has talked about racial bias. he has talked about racist undertones within the press, so i do not think it will be a surprise that they will lean into this more, but what it has highlighted is it hasjust lean into this more, but what it has highlighted is it has just become untenable. they chose it to emancipate themselves from the royal family and i think anybody who is suppressed and not able to speak freely and experienced some kind of abuse that impacts mental well—being, that has also been addressed, they will start to be more specific about what has been going on and i think it will uncover some of the insidious treatment that goes on in britain. i do not know meghan, but i sadly know what it feels like to experience the effects of racism in britain. camilla earlier were saying a lot of people respect the right to free speech which is why they are doing this interview. at the same time they will be saying things inevitably that others will respond to and the charges you want privacy, you put yourself out there, therefore someone has almost the right than to say things back, it perpetuates things, are you consent for them that this will not make things better, it willjust add to the fire? —— concerned for them? meghan and harry are adults, intelligent human beings, they will have considered this before they decided to engage in an interview with oprah. they will have considered the fallout. clearly it is more important than to have their voices heard and taught also demonstrate holding a boundary. i think what meghan is demonstrating as this is not acceptable and she is holding a boundary and role modelling that and there will be a response to that and they will have factored this in to how they manage and prepare. factored this in to how they manage and prepare-— and prepare. good to talk to you this morning, thank you

favour in being doom and gloom. some hope, but not real hope. england are trying to salvage some pride at the end, but it's still mission impossible it would seem in terms of saving the match and series. the real damage was done much earlier today, as india's tail—enders gave england a pasting. washington sundar added 96, helping them to a first—innings lead of 160. england didn't take any tips on how to bat. a clatter of early wickets including jonny bairstow removed first ball. that's his third duck in four innings — even the talismen who often rescue england couldn't stick around, ben stokes out for two. and before tea, captain joe root, on his way for 30. dan lawrence, is 2a not out, and england 111—8. two wickets left. at the start of this scottish premiership season, all the hype was about celtic, trying to win 10 titles in a row, and whether rangers could stop them. well they're on the brink. since rangers last won the title, in 2011, they've been put into administration, recovered, and made their way back up through the divisions. if they beat st mirren today — and celtic drop points at dundee united tomorrow — rangers will be champions. this weekend the three—time european champions saracens start life in the second tier of english rugby union. the championship season finally restarts today and none of the other ten sides in the league have played since last march, when their season was scrapped. joe lynskey reports. in 2019, saracens were the best team in europe. this year they swapped the continent for cornwall. when saracens broke salary cap regulations, their punishment was relegation. they start in the second tier, here, at cornish pirates. i'm expecting some real big challenges. long gone are the years when you see teams go down and put hundreds of points on teams. itjust doesn't happen. it's a different competition with a different vibe. obviously that was forced upon us, but there are a lot of positives in there. we spoke about it this week, about going back to our roots. no championship team shows its roots quite like ampthill, where players walk through a wood to reach the pitch. but ampthill couldn't afford a season watched on byjust the trees. they were set to drop out of the league until fundraising started, and donations came in. the three—time european champions, saracens, their supporters group made a £1000 donation. i mean, itjust demonstrates the ethos of rugby union, looking after one another, it has been a little overwhelming, if i'm completely honest. each club aims to play ten games byjune, and forjersey reds, that's especially tough. for this team to play on, they have to keep an island safe. we have to travel in and out on the day. so we're out on a charter flight in the morning, we play the game at the ground, back onto the two coaches, back onto our charter flight, back intojersey. we feel privileged to be able to go out there and compete and play our games. we are two of approximately 32 rugby clubs that can play rugby at this point. that'sjust, you know, a hugely privileged position to be in. it alleviates some of the uncertainty around these rugby players, because all these young men have got ambitions of playing at the next level, whether that be a premiership or international rugby. saracens are heavy favourites to go up, but there will be no relegation for any side in the third tier. after 12 months, this is their chance to play again, and build back up from the bottom. joe lynskey, bbc news. but are they wonderful story. just as it said there, the ethos of rugby, you have before macro —— four league champions running out of the woods there. saracens are the team to be shot down now this season, people are trying to stop them being promoted. he

roaramme? .,, ., , ., , programme? there was a prodigy charlie. let me introduce you to a young man called charlie. charlie is nine years old, he's deaf and, although he's looking forward to seeing his friends, he does have some worries about going back to school, particularly when so many people will be wearing face coverings. charlie and his mum tina have been sharing their thoughts with us. he isa he is a very positive and rather remarkable young man. when i see people with facemasks on i feel sad because i don't know if i'm going to be able to hear them. charlie was born with left—sided microtia, so he has hearing loss onjust the left side. despite this he still struggles to hear people who do have facemasks on. he even struggles to hear me when we are in the shops together. he doesn't lip read properly, but he can get the gist of it more if he can see my lips, and that has helped a lot. shall we go to the till? ijust think it's a really difficult time for everybody, especially those who are deaf. i struggle to hear people with face masks on because the sound gets muffled and harder to hear. i think it's important to have more deaf awareness within the community. not everybody wants to wear a badge that says, i am deaf, i have hearing loss. i feel sorry for those who have teachers who wear facemasks and they have hearing loss, but i do understand why they have to use it to protect themselves from the virus. i guess at the end of the day it comes down to each school and each individual person and what they want to wear. i would just like to think that if they had a child in their classroom who was deaf or had any type of hearing loss, that they'd consider wearing a face shield instead of a mask, just to give them that extra bit of hearing, because it makes a huge difference. i am really excited for the vaccine because i'm excited for life to go back to normal, how it was. i'm excited to see my friends again and be able to share what we did in lockdown and what they did in lockdown, and play football with them again. my message for everybody out there is to be kind and considerate to people with hearing losses, and if you see somebody with a hearing aid, please speak up and try to be clear, please. loving little that charlie. and i ho -e loving little that charlie. and i hope everything _ loving little that charlie. and i hope

families in england — after two months of tears, tantrums and torn—up worksheets. with most pupils back in their proper classrooms from monday, breakfast�*sjohn maguire has been catching up with some families as they mark the end of an era. it's the end of term at mum and dad primary. what did we all think when the prime minister said that schools were going back on the eighth of march? laughter. the school desk returns to being a kitchen table. once again, whiteboards are for shopping lists, and pyjamas are for bedtime, not lesson time. so how has it been? we brought three families together to share their experiences. it's been frustrating! for me, it has been quite frustrating. i mean, one thing now, i have a new—found ultimate respect for teachers out there, because they are brilliant, they are absolutely fantastic, and i have really learned how hard it is to teach. you think, yeah, it's easy. but it's not. it's a real skill, verging on a gift, to teach children and consistently engage them and keep them engaged and push all that information into their heads, you know. but we haven't been left to our own devices. we've had some incredible support from the school, incredible teachers, head teachers, who have been putting weekly guidance on their school website, so as parents we know exactly what to teach and on what day, but we as parents, obviously we have to work as well. dean has been doing maths in the morning with rose and i have been doing english in the afternoon and lots of other different fun activities, just to engage. rose, what do you reckon? what have mum and dad been like? you can be honest. they've been good. i've been happy about spending time with my family. _ and not just sitting - in a classroom with, like, having not much fun. mummy school, i guess it depends on what mood everyone is in in the morning, which is always different and always unexpected, and you always have a plan and inevitably it fails because every day is different. it presents different problems, internet intermittent problems, people turning up, making a big din, distractions to home—schooling, which you wouldn't get in a home—schooling environment. the dog going crazy outside. things that you don't even notice in normal life suddenly become so huge. is mummy a good school teacher? no. that's not very nice! for a last day treat, i made them some t—shirts, so we just thought, let's go out with a bang. i have enjoyed just spending a little bit more time with them. it is something that i would never, well, you would never expect you would be able to do. as challenging as it has been, having to home—school, and the arguments, and the tears, and the tantrums, having the children here, it has actually been really lovely. it has been kind of stressing, because every day we have to do hard work and learning. as for the professionals, they realise that returning to school will be harder for some children than others. next week, really, it is a bit like when you go to the swimming pool. there are some people who cannonball in or dive off the top board but there are others who are a bit tentative and want to dip their toes in. it's a little bit like that. but eventually everybody goes swimming and we all have a good time. and somebody else who will be very glad to get back to business as usual is zane powles. the assistant head teacher has been delivering meals to people's home during lockdown, and he has proved his mettle is stronger than, well, metal, as his trolley has succumbed to the hundreds of miles zane has been covering. so, back to lessons, back to seeing friends, and for home—school teachers, it's back to the dayjob — just being parents. john mcguire, bbc news. and a round of applause! well done, parents. well done, mr and mrs mum and dad. there will be a lot of families echoing many of those thoughts, many. echoing many of those thoughts, man . �* ., echoing many of those thoughts, man . . ., ., ., , echoing many

dialogue — pope francis meets one of the most powerfulfigures in shia islam — on day two of his historic trip to iraq. pressure grows on the uk government over its pay offer to health service staff — more unions have joined the backlash. concerns over unnecessary self—isolation for school children in england because of inaccurate coronavirus test results. a warning for the un security council — that anti—coup demonstrators in myanmar are beginning to lose faith in the organisation. and they're usually a sign that spring has sprung — but why is this host of golden daffodils being left unpicked?
