to show their support for cristiano ronaldo on a night they demonstrate their dominance over their long—time rivals. it isa it is a cold start. some starting with frost and apache fog but for most, it will be drier and more sunny than yesterday. all the details throughout the programme. it's wednesday, 20th of april. our top story. the uk will send more military support to ukraine, as it defends itself against a russian offensive in the east. the us and germany are amongst other western allies providing artillery, anti—tank and air defence equipment. gareth barlow has this report. this is the reality of russia's renewed offensive in the east of ukraine. lives ended, livelihoods reduced to rubble. these communities have wearily witnessed war for the past eight years, after russian backed rebels seized swathes of land in 2014. but now there's a new tempo far deadlier than the norm as russian forces step up their bombardment of this former industrial heartland. the two sides now engaged along a 300—mile front line. success in the east would allow president putin to claim victory of sorts from his beleaguered war and enable russia to establish a land corridor to crimea that it annexed in 2014. as moscow moves west, it faces the ukrainian armed forces. last night, once again, their leader called on their allies for more weapons. translation: it is unfair that ukraine is still forced to ask. for what its partners have been storing for years. if they have the weapons ukraine needs, if they have the ammunition we need, it is their moral duty to help protect freedom. ukrainian forces have used western weapons to deadly effect, turning russian tanks into twisted wrecks. but russia's army is huge and it can call on yet more firepower. that's why the uk, alongside countries including germany and the us, has promised to send further military aid. we will intensify our support for president zelensky and i propose that our long—term goal must be to strengthen and fortify ukraine to the point where russia will never dare to invade again. despite pledges of support and a steadfast ukrainian resistance, russian forces continue to grind down the defenders, as seen in these images from a pro—russian youtuber embedded with forces in mariupol. and, as seen from the air, above this steelworks, where a few hundred ukrainian fighters continue to cling onto resistance and their lives, despite russian demands for them to surrender. gareth barlow, bbc news. we can get the latest now with our correspondent danjohnson, who is in the western city of lviv. what is the latest? mariupol is still in ukrainian hands, at least the steel plant is, something that has been fought over fiercely. time and again the russians have offered the remaining ukrainian soldiers there the chance to lay down weapons, to surrender. but no sign of that having happened in the past couple of days. the russian defence ministry said no ukrainian soldiers took the opportunity yesterday. no signs they are prepared to do anything but fight to the end. they say they are protecting civilians and unless russia can agree humanitarian corridors to evacuate people, they will fight on. in eastern donbas we know russia has made progress, taking a town, and the ukrainian governor there said forces had no choice to withdraw because there was nothing left to defend and the place had been reduced to rubble in the bombardment it suffered since the start of the invasion. and another town has been retaken by the ukrainians in the past 2a hours after russian advances in the east. past 24 hours after russian advances in the east. . ~' the prime minister has been rallying support among conservative mps as he faces a potential inquiry into whether he misled parliament over lockdown parties at downing street. borisjohnson addressed a meeting of backbenchers after appearing before parliament for the first time since he was fined for attending his own birthday party. 0ur chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. another day talking about the conduct of the prime minister. what did he say to mps? it is conduct of the prime minister. what did he say to mps?— did he say to mps? it is worth dwellin: did he say to mps? it is worth dwelling on — did he say to mps? it is worth dwelling on what _ did he say to mps? it is worth dwelling on what happened i did he say to mps? it is worth dwelling on what happened ini dwelling on what happened in parliament yesterday in public because that was the first time we saw borisjohnson in front of mps since being fined last week. he was very apologetic and said sorry or apologised multiple times. he got quite a tough time from the opposition as they contrasted sacrifices their constituents had made during covid with what had been happening with downing street. most conservative mps on his side were supportive but there were notable exceptions. mark harper, who was in david cameron's cabinet, said he no longer had confidence in the prime minister and said he had submitted a letter calling for a vote of confidence in him. i letter calling for a vote of confidence in him. i regret to say that we have _

no longer think he is worthy of the great office that he holds. you can — the great office that he holds. you can hear the opposition parties cheering that. there is a lull in the story today and it will pick up tomorrow because mps will vote on this motion to refer the prime minister to a committee to investigate whether he misled parliament when he spoke about party gait on previous occasions. the government will tell mps to vote against him because of that majority it probably will not be referred and thenit it probably will not be referred and then it will be a case at looking at which conservative mps voted for it and who did not turn up because opposition parties will look at those people who did not vote for the government and say that proves a lot of borisjohnson's own mps have their own misgivings. so it is more complicated than an open and shut case but it means party gaitjust carries on and on, sucking quite a lot of oxygen out of the work of the government elsewhere.—

did a deal with that country and that has been criticised by all sorts of people and the archbishop of canterbury said it was ungodly in his easter sermon. we understand last night at a private meeting of conservative mps, borisjohnson said the church had been more critical of the church had been more critical of the rwanda policy than they had been of president putin's invasion of ukraine which religious figures are pushing back against, saying they have been critical all the way through. the duke of sussex says it was wonderful to catch up with the queen last week when he was back in the uk, but that america feels like his home for now. in an interview for american television, prince harry said he wanted to make sure his grandmother was surrounded by the right people. it was just so nice to see her. you know, she's 0n great form. she has always got a great sense of humour with me. and i'm just making sure that she is protected the right people around her. you make her laugh, that's for sure. did you do it again? yes, idid. both meghan and i had tea with her so it was really nice to catch up with her and, you know, home for me now, for the time being, is in the states. and it feels that way, as well. does it? yeah, we've been welcomed with open arms and it got such arms and it's got such a great community up in santa barbara, so... so you feel like that's home more for you? i yeah. interesting any time they say anything, the world is watching. big news. and when carol talks. what have you got? a bit of everything. it is a cold start with frost across parts of the islands, northern ireland and northern england and we have mist fog around. that will lift and then sunny spells and showers in the west. starting with showers in the south—west. we see the cloud moving westwards during the day, turning the sunshine hazy at times, but more sunshine than yesterday and then showers in the north—west in the afternoon. this weather front is trying to come in across northern ireland. it will throw more cloud ahead of it. we have a breeze from the north sea. 0n the north sea coastline, it will feel cooler. inland, temperatures are a little bit higher than yesterday. the pollen levels are high in the south—east. a chance they will be high across many parts of england and wales. as we head through the evening and overnight, clear skies, and temperatures will fall rapidly and temperatures will fall rapidly and we could be looking at frost across north—east england and south—east scotland. also fog likely to come in from the north sea in these areas. we start tomorrow with a lot of dry weather and sunshine. but still this brisk wind. you can see the fog rolling in from the north sea at times across north—east england. always feeling cooler if you go for a stroll on the north sea coastline because of the wind. thanks. let's take a look at today's papers. many front pages focus on borisjohnson's apology to mps after being fined for breaching lockdown rules. the guardian quotes labour leader sir keir starmer, who described the prime minister as a "man without shame". times reports that conservative mps will be told to block any investigation into whether the prime minister misled the house when it comes to a vote tomorrow. the daily mail focuses on plans to change the highway code to allow motorists in self—driving cars to watch tv up to a speed of 37mph. and according to the sun, former 0asis front man liam gallagher needs new hips. the paper says the 49—year—old musician is in agony with arthritis, which can only be fixed by surgery. i have to say that was the front page that took my breath away. when someone has been the rock and roll star of your youth and suddenly they are having replacement hips, you feel a bit old. i had an encounter with liam gallagher in liverpool and did an interview about football and all sorts of things. one of his people lost their wallet. they wondered if one of us had taken the wallet. we had this awkward ten minutes when we said, we have not taken your wallet. it was uncomfortable. in the end we found it down the back of the sofa. what was liam doing? he was looking for the wallet, we were all looking for the wallet, we were all looking for the wallet, we were all looking for the wallet. i was thinking how his swagger is part of his trademark. that is his brand. maybe the swagger caused the problems. too much swagger. if he lost that wallet it might�*ve helped a bit. kept in more level. are you sure you did not have? i did not. i have an interesting one. this is a qi type question, if you found a meteorite, how do you pick it up safely? we know a small meteorite, easter egg —shaped size, we think, has landed in shropshire. i know this because i am going to shropshire later and i thought i would keep my eyes peeled. how should i pick it up? use a sandwich bag or cover it in foil to avoid contamination. astronomers have appealed for people to check cameras in an attempt to find the meteorite that landed last thursday. it landed somewhere in farmland south of shrewsbury. the more footage we have, the better we can model where it landed, said ashley king from the natural history museum. meteorites are left over material from the start of the solar system. they are looking for something 500 grams, and it will be dark, shiny rock that looks out of place. i will pack a sandwich bag and foil just in case. i know you will like this. dog needs. your heart will go out to this dog. this is a dog who survived almost two weeks trapped in a badger sett. the owner is victoria hogan, who kept on looking. she deserves a mention. what is the headline? quite literal, two weeks of terror trapped. what is this? paw thing. so been treated by the vet and is back to full health. camped outside the badger sett for eight days and cooked bacon to encourage it to come out because of the smell. you may remember that a few weeks ago we told you the story of mark and heather, who had a baby daughter, sophie, who was born through a surrogate in ukraine. they managed to bring her to the uk just weeks before the war started. they've since been trying to do the same for their surrogate family. now, after weeks of wrangling, they've finally arrived in rugby. zoe conway has been to meet them. vita lesenko and heather easton have a very special friendship — born of adversity. vita is the surrogate who saved heather from the grief of infertility. heather rescued vita from the war in ukraine. she means a lot to us and we just couldn't imagine anything bad happening to her, and she has a three—year—old, so we didn't want him to see the war, experience anything negative. because he is so young and impressionable at that age. and we just thought, how can we sit here in england and do nothing? the two families became close during the pregnancy and so by the time sophie arrived in january, they were expecting to meet again someday. but then the war broke out and vita was messaging them from a bomb shelter. it would be really, really wrong to be like, oh, well, you're on your own, sort of thing. so i don't think we could go through a day without thinking, oh, is vita 0k? the war's a terrible thing, so if we could helpjust one family, you know, it's good. at first, vita and andriy didn't want to leave. it was heather who persuaded them. translation: we were frightened, i yes, because war is terrifying. i and all the air raid sirens. but our city didn't have any bombings, thank god. if we stayed there, no one knows what the end of the story would be. the war still goes on. this is very scary for us. vita, andriy and their three—year—old son escaped from ukraine and managed to get as far as france. but then they were stuck, struggling to complete the paperwork they'd need to get to the uk. me and heather decided i'd fly out to paris, help them, because i knew there were going to have difficulties travelling around paris. and they don't speak english. thanks to mark, they were soon on their way to calais and with obvious relief, they were on a ferry to dover. like a huge weight lifted off our shoulders that they are finally here in england and everything is so much easier to communicate and help them settle in now. it is so mind blowing to see them in this country. we said goodbye in ukraine, so it's... it's hard to get our head around, as well. and they live just down the road from us. heather found someone to host them in a house nearby in rugby. in a house nearby in rugby. but she has been shocked by how hard it has been to get vita simple things like a bank account and national insurance number. just trying to help her set up a life has been much harder than i thought. ithought, ok, i know what to do, roughly. i've seen things on tv, on the internet, of steps to take. but actually, the reality is systems are not set up. everything is two steps forward, one step back. for everything. vita says that however well looked after she is here, her desire to go home get stronger by the day. translation: i am very grateful i to mark and heather for their help, for them helping us. my husband is also very grateful. we didn't expect that such people exist that can help so much. we value the help very much. we are very grateful. heather and mark have already started talking to sophie about her extraordinary beginning and her remarkable family. it's a unique family, i'd say. but somehow it works, it just works. so everybody is happy. i think sophie is very happy, too. aren't you, sophie? zoe conway, bbc news. wonderful and so nice for them to be together. we have had a couple of nice stories this week about people coming out of ukraine. nice news to tell you about for once. music can be a comfort for those living with dementia, and now a new report suggests melody can actually improve the lives of those with the illness — in some cases, even reducing the need for medication. breakfast viewers might remember how the power of music changed the lives of those involved with the dementia choir, set up by actor vicky mcclure. graham satchell reports. # and spring became the summer. # who'd have believed you'd come along? - the dementia choir at a hotel in london last night to launch a major new report on the therapeutic power of music. # hands, touching hands. there isjoy and life in every face. # touching you. mick is 5a. he was diagnosed with alzheimer's three years ago. music, i think it is a really good thing to do. i think it's a great thing to do to get things up and running. # sweet caroline! he loves singing. he can't remember, like we said, what he's had for breakfast, but he can remember words to a song from the 1970s that he is not heard for a long, long time. some of the choir can't speak at all, can't even converse, but they can sing. if it wasn't for the choir, i don't think he'd be here today. also at the event last night, actress vicky mcclure, who set up the choir as part of a bbc programme. that is a perfect picture, i think. it it says her to a t. vicki's grandmother had dementia. music was a huge comfort. throughout the time with my nana, my mum discovered that singing, wheither a nursery rhyme or a song she might know, it was a way it was a way of her connecting with us and a way of being able to communicate because, at that point, she had stopped being able to sing. so the music became a massively powerful tool. i think you're the first person ever to have this particular test. i'm unique, am i? well, we already knew that, anyway. nottingham university. mick and other members of the choir had a series of brain scans to show the impact music can have on people with dementia. today's report brings together powerful evidence to show music is an effective therapy. we know that it does something to the brain, but what's happened now with dimension and, obviously, the science we have started to look into is that it actually scientifically does something to the brain, so it hits a certain part of your brain that makes you feel pleased, or hits a certain emotion. so that is scientific evidence that it is working. this is paul harvey, who is also living with dementia, playing his improvised tune four notes. paul comes alive at the piano. his tune was taken up by the bbc fill mnemonic orchestra and was released as a single. it has raised more than £1 million for charity and is helping to fund music therapy sessions in care homes. sessions like this. residents come alive, their mood brightens, their memories reawakened. today's report from the music industry and the charity music for dementia is calling for music to become a key part of the way the illness is treated. we have this amazing tool at our fingertips that we are not using any where near as much as we could be to support people's health and wellbeing. that we have got music positioned as a key public health tool and that it is not seen as a nicety, that it is seen as an absolute necessity and it's embedded into social and health care practice. # and it don't seem so lonely. that call for change is echoed by the dementia choir. i want to see it put into a system so that when you get a diagnosis, it is immediately given to you as something that will help. # sweet caroline! there is so much power in something that you just wouldn't think is as powerful as it is, but it is. because i see it every time i'm with the choir. # sweet caroline! dementia choir and their families know at first—hand the transformative power of music. they now want everyone with dementia to get the same help. graham satchell, bbc news. that is a smiling face. apparently, it is quite incredible. it is brilliant and sometimes for people with dementia, when everything else is gone, it connects to a part of the brain. time to get the news where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. the cost of storing a bicycle in a hangar is five times higher than a permit for car parking in some areas of london. new figures show only six boroughs offer bike storage at cheaper or similar rates to the cost of a permit. in some areas, cyclists can pay up to £107 a year to use a bike hangar. campaigners say the price disparity is "discouraging" cycling in the city. the stop and search of child q reignited discussions around the relationship the police have with black communities in london. since then, the charity voyage youth has been putting together ideas and recommendations to take to the met to stop incidents like that happening again. some of the young people involved with the charity have been sharing their experiences with us. you grow up with this mentality where you think that you shouldn't trust the police. situations occur, for example, in tottenham, where maybe you should call the police and ask for help, but why would you call someone for help when they're not helping you anyway? the demolition of marks & spencer's flagship oxford street store has been put on hold after the government asked for further scrutiny. the retailer wants to replace the art deco building with a smaller shop with additional offices and a gym. the mayor of london gave westminster council the go—ahead, but now the department for levelling up, housing and communities has stepped in before a final decision is made. tfl has warned that a special service on the metropolitan line will remain in place for a number of weeks. last week, faults on the wheels of a train were identified which meant the entire fleet has had to be urgently checked and parts replaced. so that's causing minor delays there. there's also the ongoing part closure on the northern line, plus severe delays on tfl rail between paddington and heathrow. and a lorry crash yesterday morning which spilled vegetable oil across the m25 means it's still closed clockwise betweenjunction 23 south mimms and junction 25 for the a10. that's causing queues from junction 22. that takes us to the weather now — here's elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. a rather nice day of weather today for us across the capital. warmer than it was yesterday and there will be a lot more in the way of sunshine, too. it is fairly similar to how it was over the bank holiday weekend, with high pressure helping to keep those weather systems at bay. temperatures last night dropped to mid—single figures so locally quite a chilly start to the morning, but there's lots of early sunshine around with some cloud coming and going at times as we head through the afternoon. a noticeable easterly wind so towards eastern areas, parts of essex and kent and down through the thames estuary, it is always going to feel a bit cooler. top temperatures out towards the west, central areas of the capital, 17 or 18 degrees celsius and of course it will stay dry. through this evening and overnight, we do the whole thing all over again. so clear skies, temperatures dropping back to mid single figures for many into tomorrow morning. on thursday, it is more of the same. there will be some sunshine and we have still got that easterly wind and it is set to stay dry. it is cooler and cloudier and windier on friday. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and nina warhurst. a big night in the premier league. good morning. but before we talk about the result which was a huge one for livable and a tough one for manchester united to take an amazing show of support for cristiano ronaldo from both sets of van. it was and there are moments in football where i think what you see play out goes above football and that was the case last night, when you consider the deep rivalry between liverpool and manchester united, there is also a huge amount of respect and that really played out last night after seven minutes, which is the shirt number that cristiano ronaldo wears, there was a minute's applause marked by both the home fans, the liverpool fans and the manchester united fans, some of them holding up a cristiano ronaldo shirt and that was a touching tribute, manchester united saying before the game because ronaldo was obviously not playing last night following the death of his son over the weekend, united saying that the family of course comes first and liverpool certainly marked it last night that applause. but on the pitch it was a really disappointing night for manchester united, a heavy defeat and liverpool are still chasing the title and it goes to show the gulf between the sides at the moment. show the gulf between the sides at the moment-— show the gulf between the sides at the moment. , . ~., . , , the moment. they and manchester city are so aood the moment. they and manchester city are so good and — the moment.

support for cristiano ronaldo and his family. as liverpool's players demonstrated their dominance over their long term rivals. 4—0 they won to move back on top of the premier league. joe wilson reports. seven minutes played at liverpool, applause for manchester united's number seven. cristiano ronaldo wasn't playing. he was in everyone's thoughts. the death of his baby son is a deeply personal loss but sadness can be shared universally. there are times, even in football, where there is no place for rivalry. the match is always the match. mo salah for diaz! by the seventh minute, liverpool were already winning. luis diaz, as simple as that. this is one of the most competitive fixtures in football traditionally. in for salah. superb. 2—0, mo salah. alex ferguson and the face of every united fan. 0ne team, just waiting for a direction, the other, seeking trophies, lots of them. sadio mane, 3—0. there is a race going on. manchester united are nowhere near it. who would provide the final touch? that is salah, that is 4—0, that is top of the league. next move is manchester city's. joe wilson, bbc news. yes, just ten matches now stand between liverpool and a record four trophies this seson. and if 4—0 was bad last night, remember liverpool won 5—0 back in october to make it 9—0 across tow matches. across two matches. the 9—0, i'm not interested. that's really something for supporters, if they want to celebrate 9—0, then they can do that, but it's not for me. we want the three points. if it would have been twice 1—0, i would feel exactly the same. and i know it will not last forever, so they will strike back, they will be there again. this club is too powerful. but in the moment, for tonight, we were too good. that's the truth. it's embarrassing. it's disappointing. it's maybe even humiliating, but yeah, we just have to accept that they are six years ahead of us now _ i mean, whenjurgen klopp came, and what they have changed at this club, they lifted the whole club, the whole... not only the team, the whole club, the city to a completely different level, and this is what has to happen here in the next transfer windows. strong words from the united manager. it's all hotting up in that title race, one manchester city will be leading if they beat brighton when they play tonight. we are going to play every game a final to give the opportunity to play another one, another one, until the end. we are going to challenge until the end, we are going to fight, that's for sure, until the end. we'll try to play good and get results. if the joy of winning a title is good, so too is getting promoted, as fulham did last night back to the premier league. it came after a 3—0 victory over preston. manager marco silva celebrating on the sidelines. what a moment for the fans who were out on the pitch at one point joining the players. three promotions in five years for fulham, they have been a yo—yo club and they would love to cement their premier league status next season. tournament favourite neil robertson is comfortably through to the second round of the world snooker championship after beating debutant ashley hughgill. the australian trailed 3—1 but hit back in devastating fashion as a run of eight frames in a row helped him to a comfortable 10—5 victory. he faces jack lisowski or matthew stevens in the next round. meanwhile the four times championjohn higgins is trailing thailand's un—nooh by five frames to four after their first session. they'll play to a finish later this morning. world heavyweight champion tyson fury has vowed to retire after saturday's fight with mandatory challenger dillian whyte at wembley stadium. fury said last month that he would quit after facing his fellow brit and reiterated the claim after yesterday's public work—out, despite saying last week he would only decide his future after the showdown. i said this is my last fight and it will be. it will be. i've got dillian whyte to deal with myself and do i want the winner? no, because i am retiring after the fight. dillian whyte skipped yesterday's open work—out, ahead of that highly anticipated world heavyweight title fight with tyson fury at wembley on saturday. it was to have been the first time fury and whyte had been in the same room since the all—british wbc title fight was announced. whyte also missed the unveiling press conference in last month. speaking to the bbc, he explained why. i do things properly, you know? these guys, they want to mess about and penny pinch and this and that and try to offer me tickets, like, three orfour tickets on ryanair economy to break my training camp, go to england, spend two days there doing it and come back again. and then it's covid as well. there is a high risk of me or one of my team getting infected and missing the whole fight, losing the whole fight. these guys are stupid. so the trash talking is certainly taking place but they don't seem to be getting in a room together at the moment, perhaps he wants to leave that until they face each other in the ring, perhaps when you are calling people stupid perhaps you want some distance between the parties. it

pound a steel plant which has become the final stronghold of resistance. 0ur correspondent in kyiv, mark lowen, has been speaking to a relative of one of the fighters inside the plant, desperately hoping for news that he's alive. distant explosions. in the fog of war, russia's ferocious firepower is unrelenting. the azovstal steel plant, still holding out against the siege of mariupol. perhaps a few hundred ukrainian troops are defending it. the commander calls it hell on earth. around 1000 civilians are holed up in its cold war era bunkers and tunnels. food, water and time are running out. 0urfamily is from sumy, that's in the north of ukraine, north—east. 0lena's cousin max has gone from village boy to one of mariupol�*s last defenders of ukraine. he has been fighting in the steel plant. her last message from him was more than a month ago. how do you feel about him being there? i feel terrible, honestly. so, um... first of all, i feel very sorry and bitter that maybe i was not talking to him as much as i should while we still had connection, because i did not want to disturb him. i cannot imagine what will happen if something will happen to him. i know how hard it will be for my aunt, for my family. do you feel proud of him? yeah, totally. i would never have imagined my cousin to become a true hero of ukraine and a hero of mariupol. there is obviously a very bitter sense of pride, in the sense that he is in a life—threatening situation but i am very proud of him. i dream of the day when he will return and we will be able to meet again and i will be able to tell this to him. do you feel he will return? i honestly, that is the only thing i believe as hard as i could because i cannot imagine the situation otherwise. ijust cannot imagine, because it will be such a harsh moment for my family and i was thinking, like, what would happen if one day, i would receive a message that... max has died? like, what would i do? and ijust started to cry in the middle of the street because i don't have any answer to that. if you could give a message to max right now, what would you say? max, i know that you are very strong and your family loves you a lot and we are waiting for you and we are sure that you will come back and you will be our hero and you will have a great life in the free ukraine after our victory. mark lowen, bbc news, kyiv. well, joining us now

spoken to and yourself as well, whether that result from ukrainians is still there —— are resolved from ukrainians is still there to keep going in the face of there to keep going in the face of the

it is very hard to talk to people who are inj the russian onslaught? it is very i hard to talk to people who are in a full blockade for more than 50 days. we can't even imagine what their life looks like. so as you understand, in the city, there are about 130,000 citizens still in mariupol, and they are living in continuous war, continuous yelling, air strikes. continuous war, continuous yelling, airstrikes. so continuous war, continuous yelling, air strikes. so when russia starts to use very hard bombs, i don't know what is in there but the sound of them goes 50—60 kilometres around mariupol and it makes a lot of damages. the city is in full blockade, lack of food and water and medicine, health, lack of everything, lack of life, i would tell. that is why it is hard and we... people, of course, want to be evacuated to ukrainian control territory but russia does not allow it. we had a lot of talks. i know that president macron talked, president erdogan, even pope francis talked to putin but he does not any evacuations. so we believe even in the military blockade of mariupol and that is why our president asked for hard weapons, artillery, tanks, just to break the blockade because as i heard, the ukrainian army has potential, has soldiers to make this blockade operation but we need weapons as soon as possible and we are asking for hard weapons. ed. weapons as soon as

will keep a close eye on that and try to bring you any developments over the course of the programme. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, good morning to you too. if you have not yet stepped outside, it is a chilly start to the day, these are the kind of damages that will greet you at the moment with a touch of frost across parts of scotland, northern ireland and also northern england. we have got some fog around as well. patchy fog across eastern and south—eastern areas. what we have in terms of cloud has been coming in from the north sea through the course of the night. slowly drifting towards the west. you can see where we have got to the cloud across southern areas. some of that will break up and some will turn the sunshine hazy and for more of us, a lot more sunshine today than there was yesterday. a few showers across the south—west. they will clear. as we go through the day, we could see a few showers spring up in some other western areas but they will be the exception rather than the rule. the other thing is a weather front is trying to come in from the west and it is not going to bring much rain into northern ireland, more like a bit more cloud. these white circles represent the average wind speed. as you can see, not particularly windy today but the direction is chilly, coming from the east or north—east. so if you are planning a stroll along the north sea coastline today, it will feel nippy. moving land, temperatures higher than they were yesterday with highs of between nine and 18. pollen levels today are high. we are talking tree pollen across all of england, wales, northern ireland and much of scotland so that is something to bearin scotland so that is something to bear in mind if you are taking a stroll. heading through the evening and overnight, there will be a lot of clear skies, most of the showers will tend to fade. you can see our weather front not making much inroads into northern ireland, a bit more cloud for you and once again, some patchy mist and fog forming, especially across parts of south—east scotland and north—east england and where we have clear skies, away from the fog, we could well see a touch of frost. as we head through the latter part of the week, the fronts trying to come into northern ireland are connected to this area of low pressure. they pull away but look at the wind direction from the east. the wind will strengthen. if you are after any rain to speak of this week, you are going to be out of luck because there is not really any. we are talking showers. 0n there is not really any. we are talking showers. on thursday, that is certainly the case. cloud coming in across southern areas with the odd spot of rain but nothing substantial. a bit of drizzle as well. still some low clouds lapping onshore at times across north—east england in south—east scotland but the further north you travel through scotland and northern ireland, you are more likely to see some sunshine. cooler once again on the north sea coastline, warmer inland and that cool wind is coming off the chilly north sea. if you are planning on going in for a dip, it is still pretty cold. as we head into friday, a brisk easterly wind really kicks in and more of us will notice it. cloud again across southern areas with the odd spot of rain. drier conditions across the north and parts of the west. these are the temperatures. down a touch and feeling chilly in the wind, as well as the lower temperatures so you will notice that on friday. good to know. we will see you after 7pm. —— 7am. the actorjohnny depp has told a court in the us state of virginia that he never struck his ex—wife amber heard. the multi—million dollar defamation lawsuit is over an opinion piece ms heard wrote for the washington post in which she called herself a victim of domestic violence. 0ur correspondent david silito has the latest. good afternoon, mr depp. good afternoon. can you please tell the jury why you are here today? um... yes. um... that pause rather captures the moment. his audience, a court, and this, johnny depp's one chance to salvage his reputation. watching was his ex—wife, amber heard, who says she endured months of violence during their brief marriage. all of it, he says, is a lie. never... did i myself reach the point of, um... striking ms heard in any way, nor have i ever struck any woman in my life. two completely opposed accounts of a marriage, and so many of the witnesses are either close friends or employees, and the events, most of them took place behind closed doors. so the heart of this for the lawyers is who to believe, which is why today matters. he talked of childhood abuse, his long career, and the effect of the allegations. one day, you are... cinderella, so to speak and then in 0.6 seconds, you are quasimodo. and i... ididn't... deserve that, nor did my children, nor did the people who have believed in me for all of these years. 0k, we will take a recess, thank you. throughout, he was careful, hesitant, serious. of course, this isjust one side of the story. amber heard's will follow. but as they rose to leave for recess, a little whistle. a smile. david sillito, bbc news, fairfax, virginia. well, for more on this high—profile case, let's speak to ryan baker, a los angeles attorney who has represented clients in defamation cases and joins us from santa barbara. eyebrows a re eyebrows are raised in that final moment with the whistle as he left the stand, how has it gone down? good morning. it is certainly interesting to see him on the stand as everybody realises we are dealing with one of hollywood's most famous actors, and so it certainly should not be a surprise to anyone that his testimony was well prepared. 0bviously, he took his time, was very pensive in his responses. it is hard to say. ultimately what matters is what the seven people on the jury think about how he testified today, and i understand he will continue tomorrow. frankly, ithink and i understand he will continue tomorrow. frankly, i think it was a mixed bag, if! tomorrow. frankly, i think it was a mixed bag, if i had to assess his testimony. certainly, he said some things, he spent a lot of time talking about his history with his family, abuse he suffered at the hands of his mother, he talked about his father and the violence that happened between them. those are interesting things to put out there when you are trying to claim that you don't have any tendency to violence yourself. so i would say it was mixed. violence yourself. so i would say it was mixed-— was mixed. overall, it is a risky strategy. _ was mixed. overall, it is a risky strategy. isn't _ was mixed. overall, it is a risky strategy, isn't it, _ was mixed. overall, it is a risky strategy, isn't it, to _ was mixed. overall, it is a risky strategy, isn't it, to bring - was mixed. overall, it is a risky strategy, isn't it, to bring this i strategy, isn't it, to bring this case at all, knowing that will mean the detail of their relationship will be brought into court? absolutely so. and in every case, you talk to clients about the effect of the testimony and whether or not you want to raise and present certain issues because in doing so, you will draw attention to those issues and clearly in this case, with the media following this quite closely, and obviously, the court packed with fans of jack sparrow and johnny depp, you know, everybody is going to put this under a microscope for what i understand is going to be another five weeks of trial. hagar for what i understand is going to be another five weeks of trial.- another five weeks of trial. how do ou think another five weeks of trial. how do you think this _ another five weeks of trial. how do you think this will _ another five weeks of trial. how do you think this will play _ another five weeks of trial. how do you think this will play out - another five weeks of trial. how do you think this will play out then? i you think this will play out then? is there a world in which he wins this? ~ . ., , , this? well, there certainly is. jurors are _ this? well, there certainly is. jurors are real— this? well, there certainly is. jurors are real people - this? well, there certainly is. jurors are real people and - this? well, there certainly is. jurors are real people and i l this? well, there certainly is. - jurors are real people and i doubt that... i did not watch all of the jury that... i did not watch all of the jury selection but it is hard to imagine that the seven members of thejury and the imagine that the seven members of the jury and the four alternates are not very familiar with johnny depp, probably more with him than with amber heard, and i have to believe that some of the strategy of his legal team is to hope that some of the fans have some sway in the jury room at the time of deliberation. any verdict here has to be unanimous but it is only a preponderance of the evidence, so basically, it is a 50% standard, you have to prove it is you are trying to argue occurred. there is a chance. here, when amber heard takes the stand, she is going to tell a very different story. it is his word against hers. a long list of witnesses, celebrity cast, you know, to appear in this courtroom. it will be interesting to see. i don't think he has no chance. i think he has an uphill battle. there are otherfree i think he has an uphill battle. there are other free speech and privilege issues he also has to surmount so it is notjust a matter of convincing the jury that his story is true. there are some other wrangles he has got to overcome as well. , , ., , ., well. there will be questions, no doubt, whether _ well. there will be questions, no doubt, whether he _ well. there will be questions, no doubt, whether he wins, - well. there will be questions, no doubt, whether he wins, about i well. there will be questions, no i doubt, whether he wins, about the impact on his career. —— whether he wins or not. thanks forjoining us. interesting to see how that develops in the coming weeks. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. the cost of storing a bicycle in a hangar is five times higher than a permit for car parking in some areas of london. new figures show only six boroughs offer bike storage at cheaper or similar rates to the cost of a permit. in some areas, cyclists can pay up to £107 a year to use a hangar. campaigners say the price disparity is discouraging cycling in the city. more than 10,000 people who signed up to help deliver covid—19 vaccinations have now taken permanentjobs with the nhs. those who have chosen to stay include former airline cabin crew, chefs and gym managers, like kazeem. on my first day, i was like, i can't believe i'm doing this, you know? coming from a gym manager, now you're coming into semi—clinical and you're going to be vaccinating a lot of people. so to me, yes, it was overwhelming, and i was, like, what a shock! the demolition of marks & spencer's flagship oxford street store has been put on hold after the government asked for further scrutiny. the retailer wants to replace the art deco building with a smaller shop with additional offices and a gym. the mayor of london gave westminster council the go ahead, but now the department for levelling up, housing and communities has stepped in before a final decision is made. tfl has warned that a special service on the metropolitan line will remain in place for a number of weeks. last week, faults on the wheels of a train were identified which meant the entire fleet has had to be urgently checked and parts replaced. that's causing minor delays on the met line. there's also an ongoing part—closure on the northern line. plus the piccadilly line has severe delays and there are severe delays on tfl rail between paddington and heathrow. and a lorry crash yesterday morning that spilled vegetable oil across the m25 means it's still closed clockwise betweenjunction 23 south mimms and junction 25 for the a10. that's causing queues from junction 22. that takes us to the weather — here's elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. a rather nice day of weather today for us across the capital. warmer than it was yesterday and there will be a lot more in the way of sunshine, too. it is fairly similar to how it was over the bank holiday weekend, with high pressure helping to keep those weather systems at bay. temperatures last night dropped to mid—single figures so locally quite a chilly start to the morning, but there's lots of early sunshine around with some cloud coming and going at times as we head through the afternoon. a noticeable easterly wind so towards eastern areas, parts of essex and kent and down through the thames estuary, it is always going to feel a bit cooler. top temperatures out towards the west, central areas of the capital, 17 or 18 degrees celsius and of course it will stay dry. through this evening and overnight, we do the whole thing all over again. so clear skies, temperatures dropping back to mid single figures for many into tomorrow morning. on thursday, it is more of the same. there will be some sunshine and we have still got that easterly wind and it is set to stay dry. it is cooler and cloudier and windier on friday. i'll be back in half an hour. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and nina warhurst. 0ur headlines today. western allies promise more

it's wednesday, 20th of april. the uk will send more military support to ukraine, as it defends itself against a russian offensive in the east. the us and germany are amongst other western allies providing artillery, anti—tank and air defence equipment. gareth barlow has this report. this is the reality of russia's renewed offensive in the east of ukraine. of russia's renewed offensive lives ended, livelihoods reduced to rubble. these communities have wearily witnessed war for the past eight years, after russian—backed rebels seized swathes of land in 2014. but now there's a new tempo far deadlier than the norm, as russian forces step up their bombardment of this former industrial heartland. the two sides now engaged along a 300—mile front line. success in the east would allow president putin to claim victory of sorts from his beleaguered war and enable russia to establish a land corridor to crimea, which it annexed in 2014. as moscow moves west, it faces the ukrainian armed forces. last night, once again, their leader called on their allies for more weapons. translation: it is unfair that ukraine is still forced to ask. for what its partners have been storing for years. if they have the weapons ukraine needs, if they have the ammunition we need, it is their moral duty to help protect freedom. ukrainian forces have used western weapons to deadly effect, turning russian tanks into twisted wrecks. but russia's army is huge and it can call on yet more firepower. that's why the uk, alongside countries including germany and the us, has promised to send further military aid. we will intensify our support for president zelensky and i propose that our long—term goal must be to strengthen and fortify ukraine to the point where russia will never dare to invade again. despite pledges of support and a steadfast ukrainian resistance, russian forces continue to grind down the defenders, as seen in these images from a pro—russian youtuber embedded with forces in mariupol. and, as seen from the air, above the azovstal steelworks, where a few hundred ukrainian fighters continue to cling onto resistance and their lives, despite russian demands for them to surrender. gareth barlow, bbc news. 0ur correspondent danjohnson is in the western city of lviv. we are told the ukrainians are having some success in resisting the latest russian offensive and they have retaken latest russian offensive and they have reta ken a latest russian offensive and they have retaken a town called marinka in the region near done nets, but they have lost ground also and a town has been lost to the russians. the regional governor in the hands said forces had to pull back and there was not much of the town left to defend given it had been bombarded constantly by shelling since the start of the invasion. president zelensky says if his troops had the same weaponry as was available to the russians, the war would have ended by now and repeated pleas for international support and more weapons and armour. we know the russians are targeting the logistics networks, the road and rail lines across ukraine in an attempt to disrupt that supply of weaponry and reinforcements. in mariupol, on the south—east coast, things are desperate. this is seen as a last stand for ukrainian resistance in that city and the steelworks has been a scene of repeated fierce battles as the russian forces have tried to storm the plant and complete the takeover of the city. again this morning the ukrainian soldiers holding out there have been offered the chance to lay down weapons and surrender but the russian defence ministry gave that ultimatum yesterday and the day before and it said no ukrainian soldiers took that opportunity. it looks like they are prepared to dig in and fight on in mariupol. president zelensky says tens of thousands of that city's residents have been taken to the russian control part of the area and he now does not know their fate. it's 40 years since the falklands war, and those involved in the conflict have been marking all sorts of memories, including nicci pugh, who was a nurse who helped save the life of paratrooper denzil connick when he lost his leg. now four decades on, the pair have been reunited for the very first time. jordan davies reports. empty chairs for fallen friends. for welsh soldiers who did not return from the falklands. keith mccarthy, stevie hope. craig jones. for denzil, a young paratrooper during the war, and nicci, a young nurse who cared for him, and many others, the falkland islands chapel is a place to reflect. we were told in no uncertain terms that some of us wouldn't be coming back from that, there will be definitely casualties amongst us. there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it is forged upon, in my mind that it has forged a bond, that will remain with us all. denzil was one of the first soldiers ashore and fought in one of the bloodiest battles at mount longdon. you could smell the death, you could smell it. and there was kind of a mist floating over the ground, as well. and the stillness and the quiet after the noise and the bedlam. corpses of your enemy, corpses of your friends, you know, just lying there. that scene of horror will never, ever leave my mind. just days later, denzil lost his leg in a mortar attack. nicci was already treating seriously injured soldiers on the hospital ship uganda. the injuries we were receiving were from infantry, mortar, gunshot, and shrapnel. we were trying to set up and now successfully run an efficient floating military hospital 8,000 miles from our working home. 40 years on and denzil and nicci are reunited. nicci. denzil! how are you keeping? i'm fine, denzil. lovely to see you. and yourself? not too bad, thank you. 40 years. i know. 40 whole years. a soldier and the nurse who treated him. the hospital ship was the beginning of recuperation and a long journey of recovery, really. i distinctly remember these clear blue eyes gleaming through. and it was such a comfort, because you knew those eyes were caring eyes. and they were such a comfort, and they are beautiful eyes, as well. i've had some compliments in my time from soldiers, but that is from the heart, isn't it? _ bless you, denzil. this is an extraordinary and very special reunion in somewhere that we all hold so dear to our hearts. we had treated so many hundreds of patients on board. it would be unusual to remember an individual, but i can put my hand up and say i do remember denzil, because, clinically, he was extremely badly injured. but people seem to remember my eyes before they are anaesthetised. there is really no other way of doing it. one minute you are a fit, healthy young man, the next minute, you are a cripple. that's a very hard thing to take on board. and the nursing staff were on the front line of that at the most difficult time, when the news has broke, or the realisation dawns on you that your life is now going to be changed for ever. and people like nicci were in the front line of making sure we got through that phase. nicci and denzil�*s bond is one forged in war on the other side of the world nearly half a century ago. and it endures today. jordan davies, bbc news. what a moment that must have been. the prime minister has been rallying support among conservative mps as he faces a potential inquiry into whether he misled parliament over lockdown parties at downing street. borisjohnson appeared before parliament yesterday for the first time since he was fined for attending his own birthday celebration, and apologised again for his actions, prompting a stinging response from the labour leader, sir keir starmer. it did not occur to me then or subsequently that a gathering in the cabinet room just before a vital meeting on covid strategy could amount to a breach of the rules. i repeat — that was my mistake and i apologise for it unreservedly. what a joke. even now, as the latest _ mealy—mouthed apology stumbles out of one side of his mouth, a new set of deflections i and distortions pour from the other. but the damage is already done. the public have made up their mind. they don't believe a word the prime minister says. i they know what he is. harsh criticism from the labour party there. you saw angela rayner sat behind in parliament yesterday and she joins us now. the labour party are tabling a motion about borisjohnson's conduct in parliament. what do you want from the nation? the in parliament. what do you want from the nation? ., ., ., the nation? the motion we are tablin: is the nation? the motion we are tabling is around _ the nation? the motion we are tabling is around the _ the nation? the motion we arej tabling is around the privileges committee, a tory majority committee that will look at whether boris johnson deliberately misled parliament, which is around the ministerial code. it matters because crucially all ministers who speak at the dispatch box must do so without giving misleading information deliberately. we believe boris johnson did that and we believe he should be investigated, because if he has done that he has to resign under the ministerial code. ianthem he has done that he has to resign under the ministerial code. when we talk about so-called _ under the ministerial code. when we talk about so-called partygate - under the ministerial code. when we talk about so-called partygate we i talk about so—called partygate we get comments saying they are disgusted by what the prime minister and others did but we get people saying move on, there are more important things to talk about. when we speak to tory party mps, a lot say thejob we speak to tory party mps, a lot say the job needs to be done regarding ukraine and the cost of living crisis. how do you respond to that when people say to you this is what voters care about, it is moving on, realising problems were made, apologies were given and then moving on to deal what is going on at the moment? figs on to deal what is going on at the moment? ~ , . ., ., , ., moment? as parliamentarians we are all workin: moment? as parliamentarians

is, borisjohnson is a distraction to that and an embarrassment abroad. distraction to that and an embarrassmentabroad. if distraction to that and an embarrassment abroad. if you do not have integrity and honesty in your job as prime minister, you cannot trust what they do next. if you have misled parliament. this is a pattern of behaviour from the prime minister and therefore dangerous and reckless. i brought a motion around the situation with the son of a kgb spy the situation with the son of a kgb spy being put in the house of lords and disregarding the committee of advisers on that so this is a pattern of behaviour from the prime minister which is serious. the situation in ukraine is serious but other parliamentarians could do that job of leadership. borisjohnson is not indispensable but he is a liar and has misled parliament. this is and has misled parliament. this is an issue around how we go forward as parliamentarians and public support for that and integrity of that office and borisjohnson proved he does not have integrity to hold that office. d0 does not have integrity to hold that office. ,. ~ does not have integrity to hold that office. ~ , , office. do

received a fine for breaking his own laws. he said he did not realise. you clearly did break the law, you made the law. i think he realised, he did not want to get caught, and now he wants everyone to move on and deflect from the issue when he knows the responsible thing to do as prime minister would be to accept he broke his own rules and should resign.— should resign. there are investigations _

because the sue gray inquiry is looking at numerous allegations of parties throughout their covid law and pandemic and this particular motion tomorrow is about whether boris johnson deliberately misled parliament. that is a serious issue. that is why the prime minister wants it to go away because he knows if he deliberately misled parliament and the committee, a majority conservative committee, if it shows evidence that is the case, he knows he should and has to resign, and he wants to deflect from that and avoid it because he wants us to move on and he does not want to accept

only broke his law but is undermining the office of prime minister and our democratic process. i cannot imagine any other conservative mp or prime minister would think they could get away with this.

minister who lies to parliament and undermines the laws he set, the trust and confidence at such a crucial time is damage. that is why it is important the prime minister should have done the right thing. he has kept it going, kept police inquiries, the cost of that, dragging out the situation, because he does not want to accept responsibility for his actions. it is time for him to show leadership as prime minister and resign, because he knows he did wrong. it is fundamental to pillars of society and the democratic process, and i cannot imagine any other conservative mp or prime

delays and there are severe delays on tfl rail between paddington and heathrow. and a lorry crash on the m25 yesterday morning which spilled vegetable oil across the road means it's still closed clockwise betweenjunctions 23 and 25. that's causing queues from junction 22. that takes us to the weather now — here's elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. a rather nice day of weather today for us across the capital. warmer than it was yesterday and there will be a lot more in the way of sunshine, too. it is fairly similar to how it was over the bank holiday weekend, with high pressure helping to keep those weather systems at bay. temperatures last night dropped to mid—single figures so locally quite a chilly start to the morning, but there's lots of early sunshine around with some cloud coming and going at times as we head through the afternoon. a noticeable easterly wind so towards eastern areas, parts of essex and kent and down through the thames estuary, it is always going to feel a bit cooler. top temperatures out towards the west, central areas of the capital, 17 or 18 degrees celsius and of course it will stay dry. through this evening and overnight, we do the whole thing all over again. so clear skies, temperatures dropping back to mid single figures for many into tomorrow morning. on thursday, it is more of the same. there will be some sunshine and we have still got that easterly wind and it is set to stay dry. it is cooler and cloudier and windier on friday. i'll be back in an hour. now though here's nina and dan. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and nina warhurst. borisjohnson is facing renewed calls to resign after he faced mps for the first time since he was fined for breaking lockdown rules. he'll now face a commons vote over whether he should be investigated for misleading parliament. the small business minister paul scullyjoins us from westminster. good morning. another apology yesterday from the prime minister come leading the former chief whip mark harper to say he is no longer fit to be prime minister, is he right? i fit to be prime minister, is he riuht? , , . fit to be prime minister, is he riuht? ,, . ,,

in my opinion, no, the prime - right? i respect mark's views but inj my opinion, no, the prime minister has said categorically that he accepts the findings of the met police. he has made a very full apology and now wants to move on with the really important issues of the day, the conflict in ukraine, he is going to india to foster closer economic ties and trying to get them less reliant on russian energy sources, oiland less reliant on russian energy sources, oil and coal. these are things that are exercising people up and down the country everyday theyr and down the country everyday they are important— and down the country everyday they are important but many would say so is the competency of the prime minister. do you think this was a one—off lapse injudgment or do minister. do you think this was a one—off lapse in judgment or do you think it happened more than once? the prime minister has said that he has accepted the findings of the met police and the investigations are ongoing. he charged sue gray with coming up with a full response and a full report and we will see that as soon as we can. we are looking forward to that because then we will have all the information and we will be able to see and make decisions and make up our minds at that point rather than the drip drip of idle speculation we are seeing on a daily basis. it speculation we are seeing on a daily

need to look... there is no point - look... there is no point speculating because we need to look at the information in the round, the context of what has happened in this regard. the event we were talking about yesterday was reported in the newspapers at the time as a positive diary story about the prime minister taking time out of his busy day to celebrate his birthday. so you can see why one view was taken then and in the context of what has happened in the context of what has happened in the context of what has happened in the last couple of years, a different view being taken at this moment in time. but different view being taken at this moment in time.— different view being taken at this moment in time. but he has broken the ministerial— moment in time. but he has broken the

been questions on whether ministers have broken the law and they have not... relatively minor ones and i understand it is not easy to put those in juxtaposition of something like this when there is palpable anger up and down the country that i was talking about but nonetheless, you need to see that within a sort of like slightly wider view. but see that within a sort of like slightly wider

he has apologised absolutely fully - has apologised absolutely fully because we have seen a number of... but do you think that is ok, even with an apology, do you think that is ok? i with an apology,

and he has made a really full apology. but there is always an element of politics with this as well in terms of the fact that not only does he have to just answer that charge, but he also has layer upon layer of people actively trying to replace him with their own man because that is what party politics is about. that then gets incredibly frustrating when you are trying to cut through to seeing what is best for the country at this particular point in time. for the country at this particular point in time-— for the country at this particular point in time. for the country at this particular oint in time. �* , ., point in time. aside from whether he knew he was — point in time. aside from whether he knew he was breaking _ point in time. aside from whether he knew he was breaking the _

he says it is not and his defence, he says it is not mitigation but he says he was not mitigation but he says he was not realising he was breaking the rules, that becomes a massive question of competency, doesn't it and you talk about ukraine and negotiating abroad, how can he do that when people look at us and say that when people look at us and say that our prime minister lays out laws he does not understand? this is wh i said laws he does not understand? this is why i said about _ laws he does not understand? this is why i said about context _ laws he does not understand? this is why i said about context because - laws he does not understand? this is why i said about context because as. why i said about context because as i say, the media covered it the day after and they did not realise he was breaking the rules either because it was seen as a positive story. we have seen other situations on social media, the first minister in scotland just the other day come out without a mask with the law that she made. we can see that these things happen, but it is how you respond to it. clearly, we did not deal with the ongoing situation at christmas, when "party—gate" became a thing, we did not handle it particularly well at that point communication wise but the prime minister has gripped it and apologised and has accepted the fine and the finding of the police and he wants to move on. that is difficult because he has got to rebuild trust with people who are angry and frustrated but that is the challenge we have. do frustrated but that is the challenge we have. , we have. do you accept with something _ we have. do you accept with something this _ we have. do you accept with something this significant, i something this significant, tomorrow, they as well vote on a

wording of the motion that comes before us before we make any decision. that will be for the whips to look at today. but nonetheless, whatever happens tomorrow, there are still two strands of investigation that are looking at this so the met police investigation is still going on, looking at the other events and the sue gray report is still to be published in full. there will be plenty of opportunity for us as parliamentarians to be able to see what has happened as a whole and debate it fully and act upon that. i want to ask you about the international monetary fund's latest predictions for the uk economy because they are pretty grim, it is now predicted to grow by 3.7% this year, down from a previous forecast of 4.7%, the slowest growth in the g7 across europe's main economies, it is hard from previous expectations and one of the main criticisms at the moment is not enough is being done to support families who are, let's face it, already struggling before the economy grows less. i mention it is really difficult to forecast growth at the moment.— really difficult to forecast growth at the moment. there are so many headwinds — at the moment. there are so many headwinds with _ at the moment. there are so many headwinds with the _ at the moment. there are so many headwinds with the conflict - at the moment. there are so many headwinds with the conflict in - headwinds with the conflict in ukraine and ongoing supply chain issues but nonetheless, i think we are trying to put families in the best place possible to be able to tackle these headwinds so we have more people on payroll than ever before. it is easier to tackle that cost of living issue when you are in work rather than out of it, clearly. there are other things that we have donein there are other things that we have done in terms of the £150, the £200 break that we have given people on their energy bills, with the fact we have actually raised the national insurance threshold so that fewer people will see any changes to their national insurance as it kicks in this month. national insurance as it kicks in this month-— national insurance as it kicks in this month. �* ., ., , this month. although four energy com anies this month. although four energy companies yesterday _ this month. although four energy companies yesterday said - this month. although four energy companies yesterday said that i companies yesterday said that already they are seeing families unable to pay their bills and that is as we head into spring and summer and that is before the hike in the autumn. as the government got more “p autumn. as the government got more up its sleeve because charities are saying you are going to have to? you will have seen _ saying you are going to have to? m. will have seen that the chancellor's measures in last years budget and the spring statement have only kicked in this month. what do you have seen from the chancellor over the last two years or so is his ability to listen to what is happening underground and do flex, that happened during the covid situation where he added extra measures and he looked at what was happening at the particular time so he will be doing that now. so happening at the particular time so he will be doing that now.- he will be doing that now. so you redict he will be doing that now. so you predict there _ he will be doing that now.

that the chancellor did come it was something like £9 billion worth of measures and it was seen as a fantastic thing, but £408 billion later it was a very different context, that is what i mean, the chancellor needs to look at the specifics but he has always proven he will flex according to the situation on the ground as he sees it. ~ situation on the ground as he sees it. . ., ., , situation on

shirt i tribute at seven minutes, the shirt number that cristiano ronaldo wears, he was not playing last night following the news over the weekend of the death of his son. but liverpool fans and manchester united fans joining liverpool fans and manchester united fansjoining in liverpool fans and manchester united fans joining in together for liverpool fans and manchester united fansjoining in togetherfor a fans joining in together for a minute's fansjoining in togetherfor a minute's applause and as you say, great rivalry between the clubs was put to one side in a show of unity and a touching tribute.— and a touching tribute. there is also a deep _ and a touching tribute. there is also a deep respect _ and a touching tribute. there is also a deep respect between i and a touching tribute. there is i also a deep respect between them although they would never admit it. when you think about the history and all that titles both teams have won, yes, but there is a moment when you stop to recognise there are more important things than football and that was certainly the case for cristiano ronaldo and his family over the weekend. good morning. a night when liverpool's fans showed their support for cristiano ronaldo and their players demonstrated their dominance over their long term rivals with a 4—0 win that moves them back to the top of the premier league. joe wilson reports. seven minutes played at liverpool, applause for manchester united's number seven. cristiano ronaldo wasn't playing. he was in everyone's thoughts. the death of his baby son is a deeply personal loss but sadness can be shared universally. there are times, even in football, where there is no place for rivalry. the match is always the match. mo salah for diaz! by the seventh minute, liverpool were already winning. luis diaz, as simple as that. this is one of the most competitive fixtures in football traditionally. in for salah. superb. 2—0, mo salah. alex ferguson and the face of every united fan. one team, just waiting for a direction, the other, seeking trophies, lots of them. sadio mane, 3—0. there is a race going on. manchester united are nowhere near it. who would provide the final touch? that is salah, that is 4—0, that is top of the league. next move is manchester city's. joe wilson, bbc news. the 9—0, i'm not interested. that's really something for supporters, if they want to celebrate 9—0, then they can do that, but it's not for me. we want the three points. if it would have been twice 1—0, i would feel exactly the same. and i know it will not last forever, so they will strike back, they will be there again. this club is too powerful. but in the moment, for tonight, we were too good. that's the truth. it's embarrassing. it's disappointing. it's maybe even humiliating, but yeah, we just have to accept that they are six years ahead of us now _ i mean, whenjurgen klopp came, and what they have changed at this club, they lifted the whole club, the whole... not only the team, the whole club, the city to a completely different level, and this is what has to happen here in the next transfer windows. the size of the task facing manchester united and their new manager when he comes in laid bare last night. winning a title is good, so too is getting promoted back to the big time, just as fulham did last night. they're back in the premier league after a 3—0 victory over preston on what was a special night for theirfans and manager marco silva who was celebrating on the sidelines. he only took over last summer. other supporters were out on the pitch with the players. three promotions in five years for fulham. world heavyweight champion tyson fury is back in the ring this weekend, although saturday's all—british fight with dillian whyte isn't the only thing on his mind. he reiterated his claim he'll quit boxing after saturday's fight at yesterday's public workout. he also said he'll celebrate his win by taking the bins out on monday morning back home in morecambe bay. so who knows what he is thinking? and he again ruled out any possible match up with anthonyjoshua. i said this is my last fight and it will be. it will be. i've got dillian whyte to deal with myself and do i want the winner? no, because i am retiring after the fight. he looks confident, as he always does, tyson fury but i don't think dillian whyte should be underestimated, only lost twice in his career. i know they are selling it and giving it the big build—up but when you step in the ring, i guess there is always a risk of anything can happen stopping at an important reminder, neverforget anything can happen stopping at an important reminder, never forget to take the bins out. exactly, forget the fight, remind himself, but a note on the fridge,

holidays. a chilly start to the bank holidays. a chilly start to the day, some frost with temperatures below freezing across scotland and northern england and also northern ireland. temperatures widely below 5 degrees so if you are stepping out, bear that in mind. some patchy mist and fog around as well. that will lift and there will be a lot of sunshine, more today than there was yesterday. a little bit of cloud coming in at times along the north sea coastline but most of us will miss that. sunshine across northern ireland, where the front trying to come in will bring a bit more cloud into the west but no more than that. as we think south, there is a little bit of cloud around, turning the sunshine hazy at times. but at midday it will be mostly dry. through the afternoon, a higher chance of catching the odd shower in the west but most of us will miss them. temperatures today ranging from 9—18 sew up a touch on yesterday. still feeling cool in the breeze along the north sea coastline. this evening and overnight, clearskies coastline. this evening and overnight, clear skies and temperatures will fall away, xiao was fading. could be cold enough thrust across parts of scotland and north—east england. here we will see some low cloud and possibly some fog at times. that will lift through the course of tomorrow which again starts off on a sunny note but there will be some low cloud at times, lapping onshore across the coastline of eastern england and south—east scotland. we will see more cloud develop across southern england and wales and more of a breeze tomorrow so it will feel that bit cooler. thank you, carol and a good reminder about the bank holiday bins, i will have to check that. she knows everything!— everything! she does, literally throw anything _

duke of sussex has been speaking to an american broadcaster about his reunion with the queen last week when he was back in the uk. prince harry said the queen was "on great form" and added that he was making sure his grandmother had the right people around her. it was just so nice to see her. you know, she's on great form. she has always got a great sense of humour with me. and i'm just making sure that she is protected and got the right people around her. you make her laugh, that's what she always says. - did you do it again? yes, idid. both meghan and i had tea with her so it was really nice to catch up with her and, you know, home for me now, for the time being, is in the states. and it feels that way, as well. does it? yeah, we've been welcomed with open arms and it's got such a great community up in santa barbara, so... so you feel like that's home more for you? i yeah. a snippet of a long interview, of course. let's speak now to our royal correspondent nicholas witchell who is in london for us this morning. iam sure i am sure you know that every word is picked over very carefully in clips like this, interesting that he says he wants his grandmother to be protected, what do we take from that? , ., ., ., . ., protected, what do we take from that? , ., ~ ., ., , that? yes, good morning. what does one make of — that? yes, good morning. what does one make of this? _ that? yes, good morning. what does one make of this? at _ that? yes, good morning. what does one make of this? at one _ that? yes, good morning. what does one make of this? at one level, - that? yes, good morning. what does one make of this? at one level, i - one make of this? at one level, i think it is reassuring, reassuring that the meeting took place, it is a positive step in terms of family relations given the risk that undoubtedly there has been. it is reassuring that he said the queen is on great form, given the concerns there are about her health. it is her 96th birthday tomorrow. but then there are these really perhaps puzzling comments about, "i am just making sure that the queen is protected and has the right people around her". well now, what are we to make of that? perhaps he had not really thought it all through but i think people will be somewhat mystified and the idea that the queen needs harry to come in on his one visit for a year to make sure she is protected and has the right people around her, she has around other people she has around her, who look after her, the royal household and other members of herfamily and i can't imagine there are going to be any changes made as a result of harry's quite short visit to her last week, albeit it was a very positive occasion and everybody seems to have enjoyed it. it is seems to have en'oyed it. it is fascinating. h seems to have en'oyed it. it is fascinating, isn't _ seems to have enjoyed it. it is fascinating, isn't it _ seems to have enjoyed it. it is fascinating, isn't it because everything they do as a couple is watched over very carefully and then dissected, as we are doing now and yet while there has been a bit of bridge building going on, he has also had a netflix camera crew apparently following him around at the invictus games in the netherlands so it is a fine balance between living and being very obviously in the public eye but also trying to manage quite private relations. , ., ., , relations. yes, and of course, he insists on — relations. yes, and of course, he insists on his _ relations. yes, and of course, he insists on his privacy _ relations. yes, and of

and all of thatis insists on his privacy and all of that is terribly important to him, yet he gave an interview to the bbc about the invictus games and has given this interview to nbc, the american network, which will be shown in full later today, and as you say, he has got the netflix crew with him because of course he has a very important commercial deal with netflix and he has got to serve as that. the other interesting comment i thought he made, as we had just there, he said, "home for me now, for the time being, is in the united states and it feels that way as well, we have been welcomed with open arms there". but i think that comment, "for now", that is perhaps interesting, perhaps he does not view that as necessarily his long—term home, but who knows? as you say, these comments will be picked over and analysed for what they are. we picked over and analysed for what the are. ~ .. they are. we appreciate your time this morning- _ they are. we appreciate your time this morning.

all over the place, but the problem lies with brazil. this is where a huge amount of the world's coffee comes from. there was a poor harvest in brazil and because the country supplies more than a third of the world's coffee, that has put pressure on supplies from all over the world and it has pushed prices up. in fact, one coffee chain, brett, dell does the price it pays for a radical coffee has gone up by 40% since 20 penty. —— it pays for arabica coffee. highershipping penty. —— it pays for arabica coffee. higher shipping and transport got on top of that means businesses like this are under pressure. a shipping container used to cost about £1000, and it has now gone up to almost £6,000. what does it all mean? let's speak to someone from this coffee shop. are you having to put

ukraine, as it defends itself against a russian offensive in the east. the us and germany are amongst other western allies providing artillery, anti—tank and air defence equipment. gareth barlow has this report. this is the reality of russia's renewed offensive in the east of ukraine. lives ended, livelihoods reduced to rubble. these communities have wearily witnessed war for the past eight years, after russian—backed rebels seized swathes of land in 2014. but now there's a new tempo far deadlier than the norm, as russian forces step up their bombardment of this former industrial heartland. the two sides now engaged along a 300—mile front line. success in the east would allow president putin to claim victory of sorts from his beleaguered war and enable russia to establish a land corridor to crimea, which it annexed in 2014. as moscow moves west, it faces the ukrainian armed forces. last night, once again, their leader called on their allies for more weapons. translation: it is unfair that ukraine is still forced to ask. for what its partners have been storing for years. if they have the weapons ukraine needs, if they have the ammunition we need, it is their moral duty to help protect freedom. ukrainian forces have used western weapons to deadly effect, turning russian tanks into twisted wrecks. but russia's army is huge and it can call on yet more firepower. that's why the uk, alongside countries including germany and the us, has promised to send further military aid. we will intensify our support for president zelensky and i propose that our long—term goal must be to strengthen and fortify ukraine to the point where russia will never dare to invade again. despite pledges of support and a steadfast ukrainian resistance, russian forces continue to grind down the defenders, as seen in these images from a pro—russian youtuber embedded with forces in mariupol. and, as seen from the air, above the azovstal steelworks, where a few hundred ukrainian fighters continue to cling onto resistance and their lives, despite russian demands for them to surrender. gareth barlow, bbc news. we can get the latest with our correspondent danjohnson, who is in the western city of lviv. how likely is it that the east of the country will hold? there are early signs of successful ukrainian resistance and even counterattack. one town, marinka, has been retaken by the ukrainian forces after falling to the russians yesterday but in other places they have been forced to retreat and a town has fallen to the russians in the past 24 hours with the regional governor saying ukrainian troops had no choice but to pull back and there was little of the town left to defend because it had been reduced to rubble in the weeks of russian bombardment since the earliest days of invasion. mariupol is a sticking point with repeated assaults on the steel works by russian forces and some ukrainian soldiers are clinging on there and we are told there are civilians in the bomb shelter of the steelworks and no possibility to evacuate those and that is why ukrainian soldiers fight on, even though they have been offered an ultimatum to surrender by the russian defence ministry and that window is open again today but no signs of them taking that chance to surrender. they say they will fight on. president zelensky said if the flow of weapons continues to forces in the east bay can keep up a successful defence even though it is a huge front line with 300 miles of territory to be defended in the east but it is important for the russians to make progress from the east after embarrassing losses in the early stages of this war. we are seeing more weapons provided by international nations coming into the country, but russia has been targeting the railway and road networks that are important in getting that military equipment and troop reinforcements to the ukrainian front line. irate troop reinforcements to the ukrainian front line. we spoke to the deputy _ ukrainian front line. we spoke to the deputy mayor— ukrainian front line. we spoke to the deputy mayor of _ ukrainian front line. we spoke to the deputy mayor of mariupol i ukrainian front line. we spoke to - the deputy mayor of mariupol talking about conditions some ukrainians are living and surviving under. we asked about the result of ukrainian people. president zelensky says they will fight till the end. do you get the sense there is determination to make sure they will do everything to stop the russian advance? absolutely. there is stiff defiance and determination to fight on. i watched the soldiers here in the west training ready to go to the eastern front line, volunteers, bankers, bakers, lawyers, painters. people who had not picked up a weapon in their life but were going through training ready to go and fight. they said they were prepared to lay down their life if that was needed. we have seen refugees fleeing from the conflict in the east only to find themselves under bombardment but it does not break their resolve. they have had victories in the earlier stages against the russians, things that have boosted ukrainian morale and given reason for hope, but the repeated message is it is only with the weapons they can continue to defend their country and the president said if ukrainian troops had the same weapons as the russians, he thought the war would have been won by now. dan johnson, thank yon — the prime minister has been rallying support among conservative mps as he faces a potential inquiry into whether he misled parliament over lockdown parties at downing street. borisjohnson addressed a meeting of backbenchers after appearing before parliament for the first time since he was fined for attending his own birthday party. our chief political correspondent adam fleming is in westminster. with such a large majority there is a lot of power in the hands of backbench conservative mps. flan a lot of power in the hands of backbench conservative mps. can the prime minister _ backbench conservative mps. can the prime minister count _ backbench conservative mps. can the prime minister count on _ backbench conservative mps. can the prime minister count on them? - prime minister count on them? yesterday the prime minister was contrite in public, in private when speaking to backbench mps he was more upbeat and this afternoon after prime minister's questions he will go to india on a trade mission to try to get on with the job. but there were mps yesterday on the conservative side who were critical, such as mark harper, who served in the cabinet under david cameron, said he was writing a letter of no confidence in the prime minister. while the prime minister is a way it looks like there will be a vote put forward by labour to refer him to a parliamentary committee about potentially misleading parliament in things he said about partygate. the problem is that borisjohnson is a major distraction to that now and is an embarrassment abroad. and if you haven't got integrity and honesty in yourjob as the prime minister, then you cannot trust what they do next. you know, if you've lied and you've misled parliament. and this isn't once, this is a pattern of behaviour from the prime minister and therefore it's dangerous and it's reckless. if this motion gets debated tomorrow and voted on, it is unlikely to pass because the conservatives will probably vote against him big enough numbers. the defence for the prime minister was put by the business minister. , , , ., ., , minister. this is why he apologised

it is difficult to _ pulling against each other. it is difficult to see _ pulling against each other. it is difficult to see anything else dominating. here's carol. how are things? are you all right? i am and i apologise if i spoke over a year earlier. i did not mean to. we need to apologise because we thought our microphones were not on any more. we got carried away with talk about taking the bins out. you were talking garbage, literally! we were talking about bin collections but that is another story. a beautiful start this morning for many. as you can see in staffordshire. we have mist and fog that will lift. a frosty start in parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england. we have cloud that will turn sunshine hazy. it will move westwards and we could see the odd shower coming out of that. we have more cloud coming into the west of northern ireland but it should stay largely dry bar the odd shower. temperatures up to 18 degrees. with a breeze along the east coast, feeling cooler. pollen levels are high almost across the board except in northern scotland. tonight, the temperature will fall away and we will see mist and fog especially along the coasts of south—east scotland and north—east england. and here with temperatures falling away, we could see frost. tomorrow, a sunny start for most. you can see we are prone to coastal mist and fog in north—east england and eastern scotland. cloud develops in southern england and wales. a brisk breeze, so it in southern england and wales. a brisk breeze, so it will in southern england and wales. a brisk breeze, so it will feel in southern england and wales. a brisk breeze, so it will feel cooler than today. that was excellent, one of my favourites. which bit was your favourite? all of it. music can be a real comfort for those living with dementia, and now a new report suggests melody can actually improve the lives of those with the illness — in some cases, even reducing the need for medication. the power of music changed the lives of those involved with the dementia choir, set up by actor vicky mcclure. graham satchell reports. # and spring became the summer. # who'd have believed you'd come along? - the dementia choir at a hotel in london last night to launch a major new report on the therapeutic power of music. # hands, touching hands. there isjoy and life in every face. # touching you. mick is 54. he was diagnosed with alzheimer's three years ago. # sweet caroline! music, i think it is a really good thing to do. i think it's a great thing to do to get things up and running. # sweet caroline! he loves singing. he can't remember, like we said, what he's had for breakfast, but he can remember words to a song from the 1970s that he is not heard from the 1970s that he has not heard for a long, long time. some of the choir can't speak at all, can't even converse, but they can sing. if it wasn't for the choir, i don't think he'd be here today. also at the event last night, actress vicky mcclure, who set up the choir as part of a bbc programme. that is a perfect picture, i think. it says her to a t. vicky's grandmother had dementia. music was a huge comfort. throughout the time with my nana, my mum discovered that singing, wheither a nursery rhyme or a song she might know, it was a way of her connecting with us and a way of being able to communicate because, at that point, she had stopped being able to sing. so the music became a massively powerful tool. i think you're the first person ever to have this particular test. i'm unique, am i? well, we already knew that, anyway. nottingham university. mick and other members of the choir had a series of brain scans to show the impact music can have on people with dementia. today's report brings together powerful evidence to show music is an effective therapy. we know that it does something to the brain, but what's happened now with dimension and, obviously, the science we have started to look into is that it actually scientifically does something to the brain, so it hits a certain part of your brain that makes you feel pleased, or hits a certain emotion. so that is scientific evidence that it is working. this is paul harvey, who is also living with dementia, playing his improvised tune four notes. paul comes alive at the piano. his tune was taken up by the bbc philharmonic orchestra and was released as a single. it has raised more than £1 million for charity and is helping to fund music therapy sessions in care homes. sessions like this. residents come alive, their mood brightens, their memories reawakened. today's report from the music industry and the charity music for dementia is calling for music to become a key part of the way the illness is treated. we have this amazing tool at our fingertips that we are not using any where near as much as we could be to support people's health and wellbeing. that we have got music positioned as a key public health tool and that it is not seen as a nicety, that it is seen as an absolute necessity and it's embedded into social and health care practice. # and it don't seem so lonely. that call for change is echoed by the dementia choir. i want to see it put into a system so that when you get a diagnosis, it is immediately given to you as something that will help. # sweet caroline! there is so much power in something that you just wouldn't think is as powerful as it is, but it is. because i see it every time i'm with the choir. # sweet caroline! dementia choir and their families know at first—hand the transformative power of music. they now want everyone with dementia to get the same help. graham satchell, bbc news. such a great idea. simple ideas are sometimes the best. always the way. we are joined now by the dementia choir�*s choral director mark de lisser. good morning. so moving and watching them in action, you must love it. absolutely, every time we are together there is joy in the room. you see people come alive as soon we start singing. we are rehearsing songs all the time, songs from across the ages from different genres, so it is a joy for me and for them. genres, so it is a

the first thing we did was to cry and create melodies our parents would have sunk to us and it embeds itself into our brains before we start to articulate words. truly, there is something beautiful about music we have from birth that i think does not go until we are no longer on this earth. it is a beautiful thing. you see toddlers experimenting with singing before they can formulate words and sentences. i imagine with the choir a glorious thing is someone living with dementia and their carers singing together. because that can be a stressful relationship but when you are singing the stress is removed. it is and we see — singing the stress is removed. it is and we see it _ singing the stress is removed. it 3 and we see it weekly. with certain people who come to the choir. often they do not want to come into the room, they might feel agitated, nervous, anxious. with my powers of persuasion i feel i have, generally i am unsuccessful to get them on the stage through words. but when we start to sing, we see them like, 0k, start to sing, we see them like, ok, maybe i can get involved. i guarantee by the end of the session they are up and in the zone with the rest of the singers, singing along. so transformative and brilliant. one thing the report pushes for is an appointment of the uk's first power of music commissioner, to coordinate things and champion the work done. what

if we can train people, give people support to help people living with dementia. there are hundreds of thousands of carers looking after people living with dementia and if we can give them some level of training so they can tap into some level of support and give to the people they are living with, that will make such a difference. i sing with choirs every day, but people living with dementia, their carers may not necessarily know how to engage the person in a song, delivering some kind of music. it is important we get that training. this report will be transformative to everyone living with dementia and i wholeheartedly support it. this everyone living with dementia and i wholeheartedly support it.- wholeheartedly support it. as vicky was saying. — wholeheartedly support it. as

bicycle in a hangar is five times higher than a permit for car parking in some areas of london. new figures show only six boroughs offer bike storage at cheaper or similar rates to the cost of a permit. in some areas, cyclists can pay up to £107 a year to use a hangar. campaigners say the price disparity is "discouraging" cycling. the demolition of marks & spencer's flagship oxford street store has been put on hold after the government asked for further scrutiny. the retailer wants to replace the art deco building with a smaller shop with additional offices and a gym. the mayor of

now taken permanentjobs with the nhs. those who have chosen to stay include former airline cabin crew, chefs and gym managers — like kazeem. on my first day, i was like, i can't believe i'm doing

tfl has warned that a special service on the metropolitan line will remain in place for a number of weeks. last week, faults on the wheels of a train were identified, which meant the entire fleet has had to be urgently checked and parts replaced. so that's causing minor delays on the metropolitan line. there's also an ongoing part closure on the northern line with additional severe delays. plus there are severe delays on tfl rail between paddington and heathrow. and a lorry crash on the m25 yesterday morning, which spilled vegetable oil across the road, means it's still closed clockwise betweenjunctions 23 and 25. that's causing lots of traffic in the surrounding area with diversions. that takes us to the weather now — here's elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. a rather nice day of weather today for us across the capital. warmer than it was yesterday and there will be a lot more in the way of sunshine, too. it is fairly similar to how it was over the bank holiday weekend, with high pressure helping to keep those weather systems at bay. temperatures last night dropped to mid—single figures so locally quite a chilly start to the morning, but there's lots of early sunshine around with some cloud coming and going at times as we head through the afternoon. a noticeable easterly wind so towards eastern areas, parts of essex and kent and down through the thames estuary, it is always going to feel a bit cooler. top temperatures out towards the west, central areas of the capital, 17 or 18 degrees celsius and of course it will stay dry. through this evening and overnight, we do the whole thing all over again. so clear skies, temperatures dropping back to mid single figures for many into tomorrow morning. on thursday, it is more of the same. there will be some sunshine and we have still got that easterly wind and it is set to stay dry. it is cooler and cloudier and windier on friday. i'll be back atjust after 9am. there's plenty more on our website and our social media. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and nina warhurst. it was a lively day in the commons yesterday as boris johnson faced mps for the first time since he was fined for breaking lockdown rules. and there'll be more of the same tomorrow as labour push a motion to launch an inquiry into whether the prime minister misled parliament in his previous denials of law—breaking. let's try to assess the situation now with two seasoned westminster—watchers — the daily mirror's pippa crerar and christopher hope of the daily telegraph. thank you forjoining us. so much to talk about, pepper, let's come to you, on a safety scale of one to ten, where do you think the prime minister is at the moment? trufeiiii. ten, where do you think the prime minister is at the

sliding scale and a slide in either direction can happen very quickly and while the prime minister is safe for now, the prospect of more fines, the sue gray report, the local elections, the wakefield by—election, there are lots of moments on the horizon for the prime minister which are potentially quite dangerous and many of his mps are holding fire, watching to see how it all plays out before they make a decision as to whether he is the man they want to take them into the next election. christopher, what are the backbench mp saying? we were discussing yesterday, it is tricky to take the

well and there are other names, big names out there, people like liz truss, who, although she goes down very well with tourney member —— tory members, might not be so popular in the country but other names that are bubbling around are not as well—known high—profile and borisjohnson and his allies are aware of that that many tory mps will eventually concede it is better the devil you know, even if he causes them all sorts of trouble, than opting for someone new who may not at this point in the electoral cycle be able to retain the majority and might even lose it and allow labour into number10.

messages from those within your own ranks that hit the hardest. what do you think of the hardest. what do you think of the former chief whip mark harper who said to borisjohnson that he was no longer worthy of being prime minister? how damaging is that to borisjohnson at the moment? trufeiiii. boris johnson at the moment? well, the are boris johnson at the moment? well, they are powerful — boris

tuning in on the tv last night to watch what would be going on in the commons will have heard them and will have seen that someone of that stature has obviously decided the prime minister is not the person to take the party forward. those of us in westminster know this has been coming for some time. mark harper has been signalling it is on the cards, saying he is reserving judgment as to what he thinks of the prime minister. but what is true is that what he was saying publicly is what many conservative mps are saying privately. whether they are prepared to go public or put their letters in and prompt that no confidence vote and prompt that no confidence vote and potentially leadership contest that christopher mentions, we have to wait and see. it all depends on events, as ever in politics and there is a lot of those coming up in there is a lot of those coming up in the next few weeks.— the next few weeks. christopher, many opposition _ the next few weeks. christopher, many

problem he has got. could he once that is the problem he has got. engt could he once again get away with saying, he did not realise he was breaking the rules or won't it wash? i think it gets more complicated as this goes on. the birthday party and the birthday gathering in the cabinet office for which he has been fined was widely regarded as the most straightforward, the easiest to counter, for allies of the prime minister. you know, it was a surprise, he walked into the room, it was people he worked with every day. the other gatherings, it is not quite the case, particularly the one in his flat which i was interested to hear from tory mps last night at this gathering, he was asked whether it was a work event and he said yes but it was a party in his flat with his wife, and herfriends, some of whom did not work at number 10 but in other parts of government, and they were playing music and drinking late into the night. it might be difficult for the police to prove that with no photographic evidence, i can't imagine the official photographer was there in the way he was at some of the other events but it is a difficult one, potentially very tricky for the prime minister, as are some of the other events at number 10 which were quite clearly not explicitly work event and the police are quite clear there is not a work exemption as the prime minister seems to be said, at the time, if anything was other than purely work, and that includes things like having a drink or being away from your desk and playing games, then it was against the rules. i think the problem the prime minister has is that excuse mayjust about hold amongst his backbenchers now but it becomes more incredulous the more times he wheels it out. find the more times he wheels it out. and as christopher rightly said, you have been right of the heart of the story from the very beginning, and when you first broke the story initially, did you think it would ramble on as long as it has and causes much friction as it has? well, what i did know is that it would penetrate and have an impact with the public. i think there's a lot of early dismissals, in fact, not even early dismissals, last night again the prime minister was describing it as a bubble issue and thatis describing it as a bubble issue and that is not the case, people outside of westminster do care about it. i also knew that the first story we published which mentioned three gatherings, i did a bit of background information about the culture there, it was just the tip of the iceberg so i knew there would be more to come but of course i did not know it would sort of spiral in the way it has, to reach the point that the prime minister would be found —— would become the first sitting prime minister in history to be found guilty of breaking the law that he would bring his premiership to the brink as he did earlier this year and could yet again. the intention of all of this was public interest, to try to expose what was going on and the hypocrisy that existed at the heart of government at the time. and of course i had no idea it would become a scandal of this magnitude.— idea it would become a scandal of

fans to cristiano ronaldo which stood out last night but what also stood out was how poor manchester united are at the moment, a lack of effort and energy and lack of commitment from the players and

manchester united's cristiano ronaldo. on a night the gap between united and their rivals was once again laid bare, 4—0 they lost. both sets of fans came together in applause after seven minutes to show their support for the player and his family following the death of his baby son. liverpool were already 1—0 up by then through luis diaz. sadio mane also scored, mo salah with two, his final one in front of the kop. gary neville said it was the worst united side he'd seen in over 40 years and their manager had to agree. it's embarrassing. it's disappointing. it's maybe even humiliating, but yeah, we just have to accept that they are six years ahead of us now _ i mean, whenjurgen klopp came, and what they have changed at this club, they lifted the whole club, the whole... not only the team, the whole club, the city to a completely different level, and this is what has to happen here in the next transfer windows. plenty to do. i'm sure fulham and theirfans will be thinking about the money they need to spend after getting promoted back to the premier league. it's been a familiar story — their last five campaigns have ended in either promotion or relegation. but they're back in the top flight after beating preston, much to the delight of the players, staff and fans. and now they'll look to spend wisely in an attempt to stay up. world heavyweight champion tyson fury is back in the ring this weekend, although saturday's all—british fight with dillian whyte isn't the only thing on his mind. he's reiterated his claim he'll quit boxing after saturday's fight at yesterday's public work—out. he also said he'll celebrate his win by taking the bins out on monday morning back home in morecambe bay. and he again ruled out any possible match—up with antonyjoshua. i said this is my last fight and it will be. it will be. i've got dillian whyte to deal with myself and do i want the winner? no, because i am retiring after the fight. there we go, he says he is retiring and has an importantjob to do on monday morning, put out the bins. don't get us started on the ben. more important things to do at home. thank you, enjoy the day. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. a lovely start to the day if you like your sky is blue, as we have in anglesey. for many of us, it has been a chilly start with some patchy mist and fog around but for most, we will see sunny spells with just a few showers in the west. more sunshine than yesterday and also that little bit warmer for most of us. we have a weather front very close to northern ireland bringing in a bit more clout through the day. it is connected to this area of low pressure but that will sink southwards so not going to affect us very much at all. patchy mist and fog from this morning continuing to live. the sun certainly with us from the word go. the sun will be hazy at times because of the cloud, and as it drifts towards the west, we could see the odd isolated shower from it but not much more than that. temperatures 10—18 but with the onshore breeze along the north sea coastline, it will feel that little bit cooler. pollen levels today, tree pollen, high, more or less across the board, with the exception of northern scotland where they are moderate or low. as we head through the evening and overnight, any showers will tend to fade. clearer skies. the temperature will fall away and it could well be cold enough for a touch of frost across parts of south—east scotland and north—east england. here, too, we could see patchy mist and fog lapping in from the north sea and elsewhere, we might see some patchy mist and fog but we don't expect it to be problematic. tomorrow, a lot of sunshine to start the day. mist and low cloud and fog coming in from the north sea. through the day, further cloud will develop across parts of england and wales where it should stay dry. temperature wise, looking at ten — 18 but there will be more of an east or north—easterly breeze tomorrow so again, it will feel cool along the north sea coastline. there goes the low pressure, pushing southwards, opening the doors to easterly winds and the isobars telling you it is going to be noticeable. as we head through saturday, low pressure could take a swipe at southern england but there is still a lot to play for in terms of that. friday, firstly, lots of cloud coming in across the south with some spots of rain and some drizzle. a bit more cloud with the odd spot of rain across the pennines, gusty wind here. sunnier skies across parts of scotland and northern ireland. don't forget that brisk wind. if you are exposed to it, it will take the edge of the temperatures. into saturday, remember the low pressure very close to us? it could move a bit further north and bring some showers into southern england but at the moment, this is what we think will happen on saturday. it will clip the far south—west. there will be areas of cloud but equally areas of sunshine, still breezy along the east coast but in cardiff, we could see highs of 19. let's all get to cardiff, lovely! see you in wales at the weekend! with your suncream. she won't turn up. i will be there, where is carol? have a nice day, carol! you may remember a few weeks ago we told you the story of mark and heather, who had a baby daughter, sophie, who was born through a surrogate in ukraine. they managed to bring her to the uk just weeks before the war started. they've since been trying to do the same for their surrogate family. now, after weeks of wrangling, they've finally arrived in rugby. zoe conway has been to meet them. vita lysenko and heather easton have a very special friendship — born of adversity. vita is the surrogate who saved heather from the grief of infertility. heather rescued vita from the war in ukraine. she means a lot to us and we just couldn't imagine anything bad happening to her, and she has a three—year—old, so we didn't want him to see the war, experience anything negative. because he is so young and impressionable at that age. and we just thought, how can we sit here in england and do nothing? the two families became close during the pregnancy and so by the time sophie arrived in january, they were expecting to meet again someday. but then the war broke out and vita was messaging them from a bomb shelter. it would be really, really wrong to be like, oh, well, you're on your own, sort of thing. so i don't think we could go through a day without thinking, oh, is vita ok? the war's a terrible thing, so if we could helpjust one family, you know, it's good. at first, vita and andriy didn't want to leave. it was heather who persuaded them. translation: we were frightened, i yes, because war is terrifying. i and all the air raid sirens. but our city didn't have any bombings, thank god. if we stayed there, no one knows what the end of the story would be. the war still goes on. this is very scary for us. vita, andriy and their three—year—old son escaped from ukraine and managed to get as far as france. but then they were stuck, struggling to complete the paperwork they'd need to get to the uk. one night, me and heather decided i'd fly out to paris, help them, because i knew they were going to have difficulties travelling around paris. and they don't speak english. thanks to mark, they were soon on their way to calais and with obvious relief, they were on a ferry to dover. like a huge weight lifted off our shoulders that they are finally here in england and everything is so much easier to communicate and help them settle in now. it is so mind blowing to see them in this country. we said goodbye in ukraine, so it's... it's hard to get our head around, as well. and they live just down the road from us. heather found someone to host them in a house nearby in rugby. but she has been shocked by how hard it has been to get vita simple things like a bank account and national insurance number. just trying to help her set up a life has been much harder than i thought. ithought, ok, i know what to do, roughly. i've seen things on tv, on the internet of steps to take. but, actually, the reality is systems are not set up. everything is two steps forward, one step back. for everything. vita says that however well looked after she is here, her desire to go home gets stronger by the day. translation: i am very grateful i to mark and heather for their help, for them helping us. my husband is also very grateful. we didn't expect that such people exist that can help so much. we value the help very much. we are very grateful. heather and mark have already started talking to sophie about her extraordinary beginning and her remarkable family. it's a unique family, i'd say. but somehow it works, it just works. so everybody is happy. i think sophie is very happy, too. aren't you, sophie? zoe conway, bbc news. so beautiful to see you reunited but as you heard from the surrogates, the desire to get home, to get back to the country because it is one thing seeing all of the success stories of refugees coming here but all they want to be is at home in a peaceful country and not feel like their lives under threat. it is peaceful country and not feel like their lives under threat.— their lives under threat. it is one of those stories _ their lives under threat. it is one of those stories that _ their

i people living with dementia have some anxiety when they are not sure quite what is going on so the connection with music can be really soothing as well as being soothing for the carers as well because it is a rest for them, if the person with dementia is engaged with the music, it is a bit of a rest for the carer which is really important, isn't it? thank you for your comments on that and all of our other stories today. it's 40 years since the falklands war, and those involved in the conflict have been marking all sorts of memories — including nicci pugh, who was a nurse who helped save the life of paratrooper denzil connick when he lost his leg. now four decades on, the pair have been reunited for the very first time. jordan davies reports. empty chairs for fallen friends. for welsh soldiers who did not return from the falklands. keith mccarthy, stevie hope. craig jones. for denzil, a young paratrooper during the war, and nicci, a young nurse who cared for him, and many others, the falkland islands chapel is a place to reflect. we were told in no uncertain terms that some of us wouldn't be coming back from that, there will be definitely casualties amongst us. there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it has forged a bond, that will remain with us all. denzil was one of the first soldiers ashore and fought in one of the bloodiest battles at mount longdon. you could smell the death, you could smell it. and there was kind of a mist floating over the ground, as well. and the stillness and the quiet after the noise and the bedlam. corpses of your enemy, corpses of your friends, you know, just lying there. that scene of horror will never, ever leave my mind. just days later, denzil lost his leg in a mortar attack. nicci was already treating seriously injured soldiers on the hospital ship uganda. the injuries we were receiving were from infantry, mortar, gunshot, and shrapnel. we were trying to set up and now successfully run an efficient floating military hospital 8,000 miles from our working home. 40 years on and denzil and nicci are reunited. nicci. denzil! how are you keeping? i'm fine, denzil. lovely to see you. and yourself? not too bad, thank you. 40 years. i know. 40 whole years. a soldier and the nurse who treated him. the hospital ship was the beginning of recuperation and a long journey of recovery, really. i distinctly remember these clear blue eyes gleaming through. and it was such a comfort, because you knew those eyes were caring eyes. and they were such a comfort, and they are beautiful eyes, as well. i've had some compliments in my time from soldiers, but that is from the heart, isn't it? _ bless you, denzil. this is an extraordinary and very special reunion in somewhere that we all hold so dear to our hearts. we had treated so many hundreds of patients on board. it would be unusual to remember an individual, but i can put my hand up and say i do remember denzil, because, clinically, he was extremely badly injured. but people seem to remember my eyes before they are anaesthetised. there is really no other way of doing it. one minute you are a fit, healthy young man, the next minute, you are a cripple. that's a very hard thing to take on board. and the nursing staff were on the front line of that at the most difficult time, when the news has broke, or the realisation dawns on you that your life is now going to be changed for ever. and people like nicci were in the front line of making sure we got through that phase. give us a cwtch. nicci and denzil�*s bond is one forged in war on the other side of the world nearly half a century ago. and it endures today. jordan davies, bbc news. that is something you would never forget? abs. that is something you would never foraet? �* , . , ., , that
