here's tomasz schafernaker. talking of thunder there's just the chance of some thunderstorms today. we have some showers bring on the risk of showers with us for the next few days. but the broader message is it is going to be turning quite a bit warmer and buy good friday temperatures expected to reach 22 degrees in the south. that would be the warmest spell of weather we will have this year. we got to around 21 orso have this year. we got to around 21 or so in march. this is the satellite picture, mixed layers of cloud across the uk and the show is mostly breaking out across the southern half of england and wales this afternoon but also the north—east of scotland a little bit of light rain here and there. and still cold and cloudy. the evening and overnight initially clear across many areas but towards the end of the night around the coast of wales, cornwall, devon, possibly the midlands, it will become quite murky in places with drizzle around the coasts. temperatures at five, 6 degrees. so for thursday high pressure keeping things relatively settled across the bulk of the country but in the north west a different story. a weather front brushing northern ireland and the western isles of scotland so cloud and some rain, the rest of uk i think is going to be a bright day with sunny spells. a lower chance of catching a shower tomorrow. on the whole it is a dry day. temperatures continue to rise, on good friday againjust continue to rise, on good friday again just nuisance cloud towards the west, may be some showers but on the west, may be some showers but on the whole not looking bad at all. and temperatures already nudging up to around 20 or so in the south east. mid—teens easily in the lowlands of scotland. then saturday and sunday and into monday, weather fronts moving across the uk, it will turn more unsettled but i do not think the wind and rain will reach us until sunday night into monday to sell at the moment monday looking a little mixed as far as east is concerned. but the weekend itself, saturday and sunday, warm and many try but some murky mornings. on the whole to summarise the weather this easter, not too bad! that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. good afternoon. i'm ben croucher with the latest from the bbc sport centre. we'll start with football where the manager of northern ireland women has apologised for comments he made in the aftermath of his side's 5—0 defeat to england in world cup qualifying. kenny shiels said they don't take well to conceding a goal because women are more emotional than men — and it prompted criticism who called the remarks bizarre, with ian wright — former arsenal and england striker — said he was talking foolishness. in a statement issued today, shiels said:. northern ireland's hopes of qualifying for a first world cup finals ended last night. lauren hemp and georgia stanway here both scoring twice for england in front of a record crowd for a women's international at windsor park. chelsea manager thomas tuchel said his side could have no regrets after nearly coming from behind to beat real madrid in the champions league quarterfinal. karim benzema's extra—time goal knocked the defending champions out. manchester city are also in madrid. they have a 1—0 advantage to take into their second leg against atletico tonight. it's been a busy fortnight for pep guardiola's side — with two games against liverpool either side of tonight's crucial game. you know, this game, the next one and the next one is because we have done so far really well so far and in that moment you are not tired, when you are so close to reaching the semifinal of the champions league or, you know, next saturday to reach the fa cup... ..we�*re not tired. and they will play in front of a capacity crowd at the wanda metropolitano — after a partial stadium closure was suspended. the spanish champions had been ordered by uefa to close off at least 5,000 seats as a punishment for the alleged racist behaviour of atletico fans in manchester last week. it's likely to be a full house at anfield later where liverpool take a 3—1 lead into their second leg against benfica. but managerjurgen klopp is less happy about a crowded schedule. the only game i'm concerned about is tomorrow night, benfica. then we play saturday, because of the success we've had so far, we play on saturday, city. that would usually be, that would be aston villa. so it might have been sunday, i don't know. then we play united, then we play everton. then, if we get through tomorrow night, we have a semifinal and then bt and the premier league thought they would give us newcastle away a 12.30. they couldn't care less, the tv stations, i know i'm angry about this but it's just not ok. and tottenham boss antonio conte has tested positive for covid. conte will continue with his media duties via zoom, but the club have said they expect him to be on the touchline for spurs�* premier league game with brighton on saturday. in tennis, cameron norrie has lost his first match as a top ten player — beaten in the second round of the monte carlo masters. the british number one lost to former finalist albert ramos vinolas 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. norrie has never beaten the spaniard in four meetings on clay. and dan evans is currently in action agianst belgium's david goffin. the first set went to a tie break, with goffin winning 7—6, evans is currently on serve in the second. as always, you can get more via the bbc sport website and app, including build—up to those champions league ties tonight. we'll have more throughout the afternoon. thank you, then. good afternoon. you're watching bbc news with me, jane hill. let's look at some of the main stories. ali harbi ali, the 26—year—old who murdered the conservative mp sir david amess in his constituency last year, has been given a whole—life tarriff. ajudge said ali had shown no remorse or shame for what he did. after sentencing, assistant comissioner mattjukes from the metropolitan police read a statement on behalf of sir david amess�* family. our amazing husband and father has been taken from us in an appalling and violent manner. nothing will ever compensate for that. we will wake each day and immediately feel our loss. we will struggle through each day for the rest of our lives. our last thought before sleep will be of david. we will forever shed tears for the man we have lost. we shall never get over this tragedy. it breaks our hearts to know that our husband and father would have greeted the murderer with a smile of friendship and would have been anxious to help. how sickening to think what happened next. it is beyond evil. our thanks go to the police, in particular the two officers assigned to the family during this dreadful time. our thanks also to the legal team who worked so tirelessly to ensure thatjustice was done. our special thanks also to the many, many friends and family, and of course the general public, who have been a source of so much strength and love to us since david died. somehow we now have to move on with our lives, although none of us really knows where to begin. we would refer to the statement made by our family immediately after this tragedy. our message remains the same — we appeal to everyone to treat their fellow human beings with kindness, love, and understanding. this is needed more than ever now. we now ask for privacy to rebuild our lives as best we can. there will be no further statements, interviews or, indeed, any comments. we ask the media to respect this. thank you. sir david's family and loved ones have shown tremendous courage since his murder. the conclusion of the trial ends this chapter, but going forward, they and sir david will remain in our thoughts. during this trial, we have heard how sir david came to cross paths with a terrorist who had a settled plan to carry out an attack in the uk. it is clear that the man who begins a life sentence today is a cold, calculated and dangerous individual. his attack was stopped by two essex police constables who apprehended this dangerous man while he was still armed with a knife he had used to kill sir david. their actions were nothing short of heroic and they undoubtedly prevented others from being harmed. their bravery and the bravery of the members of the public who witnessed the incident, called 999, and provided invaluable information to the police, was remarkable. none of that, sadly, can change the tragedy of sir david's murder. he was an honourable man who gave everything for his community and who loved his family. sir david was callously and senselessly murdered, working in his constituency, as he had done over a distinguished political career of nearly a0 years. in the aftermath of sir david's murder, i spoke with many mps who, despite their shock and concern, went back into their constituencies, just as sir david had, to serve their communities. police forces up and down the country are committed to supporting mps to carry on doing this vital work. sir david's murder was an attack on democracy and we will never let terrorists prevail. it is five years since the terrorist attacks of 2017, and the threat of terrorism remains very real. the police and our partners are working as hard as ever across the country to prevent attacks and to be ready to respond effectively, should the worst happen. it is more important than ever that everybody plays their part in tackling terrorism. we have seen from this case that terrorists research and sometimes visit the places they plan to attack. i would urge everyone to stay vigilant and trust their instincts. if you see or hear something unusual or suspicious, that might be linked to terrorism, even if it concerns a family member or close friend, then please, please report it to the police. your information mightjust prevent an attack and save lives. the metropolitan police after sentencing, the whole life sentence handed down and a statement on behalf of sir david amess�* family. the former conservative mp ann widdecombe was a good friend of sir david amess and she also spoke outside the court. that man now is not going to come out of prison. he's only 26, and the rest of his life he's going to spend dividing between a narrow cell with a lavatory in it, and an exercise yard. he's never going to be able to enjoy walking free, doing the things we take for granted. that is what happens. he didn't get his martyrdom, he's got instead probably more than half a century of incarceration. and i want to say this to families — if you have any suspicion at all, as this family at one stage did, that anybody, be it a son, brother, a cousin, even, is being radicalised, then to save them from this sort of end, even if you try to make excuses not to save potential victims, to save them from this sort of end, for goodness' sake report it. you are not betraying them, you are helping them. please report it, because not reporting it means innocent people die, and those who are guilty will not get the end that they may have thought that they were going to get. beyond that, i'm open to questions. journalist inaudible. i don't think david would have wanted this in his name to result in any undue distancing of mp5 from their constituents. he was a man who wanted to meet his constituents, not only formally in surgeries, but all the time, out on the streets, just meeting them at events, just socialising with them, that's what he wanted. and that is what i think probably every mp, certainly nearly every mp, wants. it is certainly what i wanted when i was an mp. and i don't think we should use this as a reason for distancing. but that is different from saying, of course, that common sense precautions should now be taken, and i'm pretty certain that they will be. already i'm hearing that mps are taking those precautions. but it mustn't end up in, for example, a constituent being unwilling to go to a surgery because he or she thinks there might be a police check or something. i mean, there won't be — it's not that crude. but there are procedures being put in place. journalist inaudible. it was incredibly difficult, listening to it. he didn't have any remorse, as the judge observed. the frightening thing was that he was intelligent. he was articulate. he was educated. and therefore the one thing he wasn't was civilised. and that combination is always very uneasy when you come upon it. and that we have to face — radicalisation doesn't just happen to those who maybe can't process the intellectual processes that are necessary. that's very bad english, i know. it happens to the very bright and the very clever as well. and they become convinced that this is the will of god. it is not the will of god. the former conservative mp ann widdecombe, following the whole life sentence handed down to the man who murdered sir david amess. the transport secretary grant shapps has said the prime minister is "completely mortified" at being fined for breaking covid lockdown laws — adding borisjohnson didn't knowingly break the law, but had done wrong. so far, only one conservative mp has publicly said again that mrjohnson should resign. the prime minister, the chancellor and the pm's wife, carriejohnson, who also received a fixed penalty notice, have all apologised. carl may's brother, tom, died with coronavirus just two days before the first national lockdown was announced. he was just 32 years old. carl told victoria derbyshire this morning that he was "livid" with borisjohnson. laws were in place at that time of my brother's funeral, whereby i was to remain isolated and not interact with people outside my household, so i stood there and watched my family grieve my brother and we all stood there alone. my wife could not come to my brother's funeral. my nan and grandad couldn't come because we all wanted to protect them. we had to split households and say, look, only one of you from each household can come and be around the graveside. it is absolutely astonishing. he claims that he understands what we have gone through. he hasn't got a clue. if you would like to pass on my phone number, he can give me a call and i can tell him exactly how it feels and maybe then his apology would mean a little bit more. i mean, he might understand to a certain extent because he had covid himself and was in intensive care. yeah, yeah. you would really think that would sort of sharpen the mind as to the seriousness of the disease and the importance of following the guidelines that he put in place, wouldn't you? but sort of looking at his behaviour during the pandemic thereafter and all of these parties, if you can call them that, which i think you can although apparently, borisjohnson begs to differ, you really think he would have changed his behaviour but he didn't. he never learns. he is a charlatan. he is a scam artist. and just like everything else in his past that he has wheedled out of, he will wheedle out of this. i mentioned on 5live, the guy is the most nonstick material known to man. i mean, if it wasn't so important and he wasn't in charge of the country, i would be quite impressed by it. is it plausible in your mind at all that it did not occur to him that it was a breach of the laws? because in that cabinet room, that is where he works, that is where he has meetings and so a number of people in there, for nine minutes, to say happy birthday or sing happy birthday was why... i don't buy it for a second. you know, iwork in a busy workplace. i am a laboratory scientist. we had heavy restrictions on how we were to work in this place as i am sure they did at number 10, they must have done. we had to book areas of the lab that we would work in. we masked up. areas of the lab had perspex screening and i am sure in a busy workplace such as number 10 downing street they had the same restrictions. if he genuinely believed that that was not a party, is that the sort of man we want to be running the country, a person who does not realise that when there is a cake and people singing happy birthday and a group of people having drinks, it's not a party? you know, the guy is famously very articulate and has a good grasp of the english language. i would love to hear his definition of what a party is. can i ask what your brother was like? um... justa... yeah, a lovely fella, a great fella. he was my sort of counterpoint in life, you know? he was my, you know, in sort of family arguments or tussles, he would tell me if i was the one being out of order and i would take his opinion. he was, he was... i suffer from anxiety a little bit and he was really good at telling me, you know, when it was time to sort of, you know, he would let me get my issues out with him and then say, right, now it is time to sort of, you know, chin up and march on, sort of thing. i miss him so much. that is the point of this. when all this has gone away, and all this is tomorrow's chip papers, there's 150,000 people dead and that is 150,000 groups of loved ones, friends, family, who have all lost people that were dear to them and had to suffer grieving under those conditions, and it is bad enough that he had these parties but to lie about them as well... how are people still giving him their backing? he has been proven to be a liar. he says he made a mistake. yeah. i want to ask, carl, what your message is to conservative mps, then, who at the moment at least anyway until the next general election when the general public can have their say, hold his future in their hands, it would seem. you have got to put in your votes of no confidence, how can you have confidence in a man who has been proven to lie? he is a proven liar. he is not a great leader. he's only interested in being world king. it is ludicrous. the man is an absolute joke. if you have got any shred of decency about you as a conservative mp, get your letter of no confidence in and do it today. don't toe the line. don't be honourable for a man who doesn't even know what honourable means. it is so ironic that he has the title "the right honourable boris johnson." the guy does not know what honour or doing the right thing is. it is ludicrous. put your letter in now. do it now. that was karl may, whose brother tom died with coronavirus just two days before the first national lockdown was announced. time for across the uk. imagine a home with no energy costs. well, the award—winning architect colin usher, from wirral, is building a house and two apartments for rent which will cost nothing to run. the last time we met colin, the building had just started. lindsey prosser has been to see how it's progressing. the last time we were here, the building was at the ground floor level. now we are at the first floor and they are going up and they are almost ready for the roof to go on. so, colin, this is your project. you have built your own eco—house. if we look at this building, already, it is looking different. we have got the black, sticky stuff on the outside of what will be the windows. why is that there? basically, it acts as a damp—proofing membrane but it also means we can stick the airtightness tape to it _ so when the windows go in place, the joint between the wall and the window will be completely airtight _ and then on top of that goes the insulation which overlaps with the window as well and makes sure that there is no way water or air to sneak into the building. now, if we look at the first floor, you can see there that that is concrete and concrete is not regarded as many to be an eco material. that is right. why are you using it? it gives me a fantastic thermal mass and it makes it very easy to control a consistent temperature within the building. you have faced challenges with delivery times and the cost of materials. you are expecting your eco roof to go on that is going to generate electricity for this house. how is it going to be different and are you confident it is going to arrive in time? yes, yes, i am confident the roof should be here on time. it has been designed as an ecojoist roof and then you will have an array of solar panels over the top of it. at the moment i am still trying to make up my mind whether i install batteries, but it will certainly be battery ready. so next time we are here, we expect the roof to be on and you to be working on the internal ventilation system. that is correct. good luck. back to you in the studio. to the west midlands, and thousands of inspirational people have been confirmed as baton bearers in the queen's baton relay this summer, as part of the birmingham 2022 commonwealth games. the queen's baton will return home to the west midlands on the 18th ofjuly in the final ten—day countdown. then it will be carried through local communities. it's currently touring through commonwealth nations and territories. lindsay doyle went to meet the winning nominees. today's confirmation of the names of the baton bearers comes after a nomination campaign back injanuary. now, there were 8,000 nominees, and one of those to be chosen is a writer—director from birmingham. cj, congratulations. first of all, how do you feel about being a queen's baton bearer? well, it's an amazing feeling. you know, i'm still trying to process it because i didn't get the news that long ago. so, you know, everybody knows about it now. so it's really an amazing feeling. i feel ecstatic about it. now, do you know where you'll be running with it? no, i don't know where i'll be running with itjust yet. i know it will definitely be in the west midlands, but i haven't found out the location just yet. now, the nominees had to be inspirational people. now you're inspirational. what's your background that led to this? so my background is i'm a writer and theatre maker, so a lot of people know me through the plays that i've had on in london, kings cross, and also at the birmingham rep theatre, where i'm currently based. so i had a play on last year, and it was during pretty much when we just came out of covid. so a lot of people would have seen that play and felt quite inspired by it. so i think that was one of the reasons why i was probably chosen. and you work with young people as well, don't you? yeah, so i co—director company at the birmingham rep called lightpost theatre, and we support the mental health of young men because we know that there's obviously a lot of issues pertaining to kind of mental health within young men. so what we do is we work specifically with those from black and diverse communities, and we essentially use theatre as a mechanism to help them to express themselves. cj, thank you so much. we're very proud of you here in birmingham. 106 days to go and counting. now it's time for a look at the weather with today we have got a lot of cloud around and certainly the possibility of catching a brief heavy shower, maybe even a crack of thunder. the overall message over the next few daysis overall message over the next few days is that it is going to be warming up. yes, plenty of cloud around but temperatures will shoot up around but temperatures will shoot up particularly across southern and central areas. this is what we have got into the afternoon, high teens in the south, mid teens in the lowlands, still a possibility of showers particularly across england, more southern parts, through this evening. tonight it is mild with clear spells, around 8—9 in the south of the country and i think in the highlands we mightjust touch a frost. tomorrow starts off really cloudy and murky in some areas, perhaps some rain reaching north—western parts of the uk but i think generally it is a bright day with temperaturesjust think generally it is a bright day with temperatures just about nudging up with temperatures just about nudging up to 20 degrees in the south, mid—teens again in the lowlands. goodbye. this is bbc news. the headlines... prices rise at their fastest rate for 30 years — driven by a sharp increase in petrol and diesel costs. food prices are also up; the hospitality sector is hit hard: i've never known nothing like this, whether it's the prices of food coming into the country, fuel prices, everything is sort of against you at the minute. vat going back to 20%. a whole life sentence is handed down to the islamic state group sympathiser who murdered the mp sir david amess. police read a statement from his family. it breaks our heart to know that our husband and father would have greeted the murderer with the smile of friendship and would have been anxious to help. how sickening to think what happened next. it is beyond evil.
