for claims that he deliberately misled parliament, overshadowing his official visit to india. good morning. more worries on the high street. first lockdown well, now the cost of living crisis hits the shops. i am and i was defined derbyshire to find out how businesses here are getting on. we will have the latest figures that show the health of retail around the uk. the fight for survival is on — what a night it was for burnley. just six days after sacking sean dyche, their manager of nearly ten years, they beat southampton 2—0 to give their premier league survival hopes a huge boost. we've been to normandy, where they're remembering the life and fundraising efforts of d—day veteran harry billinge, who died earlier this month at the age of 96. and a fairly blustery few days to come. some showers. details coming up. good morning. it's friday, the 22nd of april. our top story. a man has been declared as an official person of interest by portuguese authorities, in connection with the disappearance of madeleine mccann in 2007. the suspect hasn't been named, but prosecutors say they are acting on the request of the german authorities. simon jones has more. next month, it will be 15 years since madeleine mccann disappeared. what happened to her remains a mystery, despite numerous international investigations. it's been agony for her parents. they've always clung to the hope that their daughter is still alive. but the authorities in germany strongly believe madeleine was murdered. and now prosecutors in portugal, looking into what happened in praia da luz, have identified a suspect, a person of interest, acting on the request of the german authorities. he's not been named, but german police have been investigating this man, referred to as christian b, a convicted rapist, in connection with madeleine's disappearance. he's currently in jail. officers say he was regularly living in the algarve between 1995 and 2007. he has always denied any involvement. there have been tv appeals for information, but the authorities have never had enough evidence to charge him. madeleine went missing from a holiday apartment on may 3rd, 2007, while her parents were having dinner at a nearby restaurant. injuly 2013, the met police opened its own investigation, saying it had new evidence and new witnesses. and it was injune 2020, that german police first revealed they had a suspect. there have been searches in portugal, but no breakthrough. in less than two weeks, a statute of limitations would take effect, meaning under portuguese law, it would no longer be possible to make someone a person of interest. but it's understood this latest development is driven not by timing, but by strong indications that a crime has taken place. there have been many false dawns in the investigations into what happened. the police in germany have previously warned their inquiry, like the others, could end without a charge. but madeleine's parents have always said they need to know what happened so they can find peace. simon jones, bbc news. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky has rejected russia's claims that the besieged port city of mariupol has been captured. the remaining ukrainian fighters — as well as around 1,000 civilians — are currently trapped in a steelwork plant, where they've been surrounded by russian troops. it comes as a ukrainian official says russian forces have seized more than a0 villages in the donbas region, as the kremlin offensive in the east of ukraine continues. abi smitton reports. a city, destroyed. mariupol steelworks, the final

gun artillery. but while we're here, mariupol remains under control of ukraine. mariupol was — and will stay — ukrainian, no matter what they say. around 2,000 people are still thought to be in the steelworks. it's believed at least half of them are civilians. mariupol has been under near constant bombardment since the start of the russian invasion. president putin has claimed his forces have seized control of the city, ordering his soldiers to surround the azovstal steel plant. but ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky has refused to give in. in an address last night, he said the fight for the city was not over. the russian forces wouldn't win. translation: they can only postpone the inevitable - - the time when the invaders will have to leave our land, including mariupol, the city that continues to resist russia, regardless of what the occupiers say about this. ukrainian officials say russian forces have continued to attack the eastern donbas region. more than a0 villages have reportedly been seized. with the orthodox easter weekend approaching, there had been hopes that a ceasefire could be agreed, a moment of reprieve for millions. but president zelensky says russia has rejected the call for a truce. translation: this demonstrates very i well how the leaders of this state i actually feel about the faith, about one of the mostjoyful and important holidays. but we keep hope, hope for peace, hope that life will conquer death. what should have been a celebration for the millions of orthodox christians. instead, this sunday will mark two months of war, two months of fighting, destruction and loss. abi smitton, bbc news. our reporterjoe inwood is in kyiv. there is this situation in mariupol with the steelworks. there is also a broader situation. with the

overshadowed by the controversy over lockdown parties back in london. the prime minister will be investigated by a commons committee over claims he misled parliament. our political correspondent helen catt reports. boris johnson's visit to gujarat yesterday was the first by a british prime minister. but it was another prime ministerial first back home which dominated the day. the commons agreed that mrjohnson should face an inquiry into whether he deliberately misled parliament in what he said about downing street parties. it will start after the police finish their investigation into the parties themselves. mrjohnson spoke to the bbc before the motion was carried. i don't want to have any absence of scrutiny. and, i mean, it's humbling sincerely, if the opposition want to focus on this, and to talk about this a lot more, that's fine. i think we should wait until the conclusion of the inquiry. but i want to focus on the stuff that i think really matters to the future of the country. the government had first put forward a plan to get its mps to vote to delay a decision on the inquiry, and then it dropped it. the suggestion that it couldn't be sure of enough support from conservatives. i'm afraid they're too weak to sack him. and i think that's what we need. we need the prime minister gone. some tory mps are standing by their leader. i think where we've reached today is a good place. it's positive that we know that the end is in sight. it also gives us the opportunity to move on and focus again on the priorities that the country cares about. but others have become public critics. the opposition sensed a shift behind the scenes. i think the political mood changed, and you could feel it in the house of commons, with lots of mp, i think, thinking today, i'm not any longer going to go on defending the indefensible. borisjohnson has said he wants to focus on things that are important to the future of the uk. some have said partygate means he simply can't. so the two key things, of course, are ukraine and the cost of living crisis. again, i'm proud of the fact that there's a cross—party consensus, that we stand up against putin, that we defend our friends in ukraine. but the prime minister is a distraction. he is a problem. borisjohnson will meet the indian prime minister, narendra modi, later, to discuss defence and security collaboration. back home, it's the security of his own position that looks like it could be in question. helen catt, bbc news, westminster. let's talk to our political correspondentjonathan blake. good morning. the prime minister came to talk about this visit to india, but may be overshadowed by events at home. how difficult could things get for the prime minister? well, it's hard to see how they could — well, it's

about his daughter returning home, days after it was confirmed the child's twin brother died during birth. the portuguese footballer announced in october last year, that he was expecting twins with his long—term partner georgina. on monday, the couple confirmed one of the babies passed away, with ronaldo describing the loss as "the greatest pain". it was remarkable, actually, that football match between manchester united and liverpool, when they all applauded for that minute for him, to recognise his pain, and bringing up to recognise his pain, and bringing up the subject of lost twins as well. good luck to them. i hope they are all settling in. i can imagine the craziness of the family when they get their baby home. matt has they get their baby home. matt has the weather. now look,

guardian describes yesterday's events as a "day of humiliation" for mrjohnson. the mirror notes that conservative party veterans had finallyjoined calls for the prime minister to resign. and that story about ronaldo is on the front of the sun. the footballer posted a photo of his family at home, following the death of one of his twins during childbirth. and when ronaldo does go back to work, he'll have a new manager. the times reports that erik ten hag becomes manchester united's new manager, after signing a three—year deal. like a dog story? yes. do you like the dog rescuing _ like a dog

build the british normandy memorial in 2020. sadly, harry died earlier this month, but ahead of his funeral next week, john maguire's been speaking to people in the french town of arromanches, where he was a much—loved visitor. harry billinge revisited normandy many times during his 96 years. aged 18, he was ordered to land here on d—day. but, as an older man, he felt compelled to come. and six months ago, he saw for himself the memorial he'd worked so hard to help create. i feel very humble today, and i'm deeply moved, because i didn't realise what a wonderful place it is now. still today, the town of arromanches is defined by the events of 1944. the remains of the mulberry harbour, built by the allies, are visible at low tide. the veterans, the liberators, as they're called, are held in the highest regard. and harry enjoys a special place among people's affections. harry was part of our lives here in arromanches, and he was a very, very important person for us. his thoughts were always with the comrades who died fighting for normandy, and he was adamant they should never be forgotten. the young generation should learn and know about this, this little man that was just full of life, and that fought so much to actually get this enormous memorial created. a photograph with harry is a highly prized possession here. yes, yes, always smiling, and always laughing also. guillaume dormy runs the d—day museum in arromanches, and says harry had an innate ability to connect with people and to share his story. when harry walking the streets, everybody stop and want to, eh, to speak with him. we know the story of this man only in books. but when you met them, you can touch the history. alain's friendship with harry started almost 25 years ago, when a veterans' lunch went on so long that he was locked out of his accommodation, and had to stay at the hotel alain owned. we have a one room, and if you want to sleep in the same room. how do you how do you describe harry? for me, it's the same of my father. surely, there's no higher compliment? he had friends everywhere here. in laurent�*s shop are cherished photos, including ones of laurent and his wife, who travelled to st austell to see harry at christmas. it was a great man with a big character. i don't know, i speak a very bad english. but he will be in my heart for the rest of my life. and above the beach where harry was among the first to land, stands the british normandy memorial. well, this is the bench at the memorial site dedicated to honour harry's fundraising efforts and, of course, now dedicated to his memory. his legacy is assured, his name carved in stone on the memorial�*s walls. but when you talk to people who live in the local area, those who got to know him over recent years, over recent decades, he meant so much to them — notjust because of what he did as an 18—year—old on that beach behind us, but what he taught people in recent years, and the joy he brought into their lives. that will live long in their memories. they say here he fought two missions during his life. first, the battle for normandy. and then, the fight to see those who died on this ground, remembered for evermore. john maguire, bbc news, ver—sur—mer. i don't think it can be underestimated that he definitely won a place in the hearts of people he met and the work he did. he will always be remembered for that and rightly so. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. a cyclist has died after he collided with a bus in islington. 50—year—old abrajah rafiq was treated at the scene on seven sisters road last saturday and then taken to hospital but died yesterday. police are appealing for any witnesses to come forward. a ukrainian londoner who runs a boutique in marylebone has swapped designer dresses for flak jackets to help ukraine. iryna grant has raised thousands of pounds to provide equipment for the territorial defence in her home town of uman. the civilian fighters helping defend ukraine say they are in desperate need of military equipment and supplies. it felt really very strange, having all these designer outfits, and military equipment in the middle of the boutique with the boxes arriving. i don't know what my clients must have thought. a heathrow executive has said passengers were responsible for some of the easter chaos that the airport experienced. nigel milton, chief of staff and carbon at the airport said staff had to remind travellers about the rules over taking liquids on flights and hand luggage after many had forgotten what can and can't be taken on board. he also acknowledged more security staff are needed. from may, all dogs taken to richmond and bushy park must be kept on a lead until the end ofjuly. it's to protect both the dogs and deer during the birthing season when female deer hide their young in bracken and long grass. around 300 fawn are expected to be born over the few months. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning with just minor delays on the picadilly liune. but london overground is part suspended willesdenjunction to shepherds bush. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. a reasonably mild start this morning, there is more cloud around. you can see the high pressure to the north later. between it, the isobars are tightly squeezed, so a brisk easterly breeze. the cloud this morning thick enough to produce some light patchy rain and some drizzle. it's more likely to break up a little this afternoon, so some brighter spells. the wind gusting 30 to 35 mph. temperatures taking a bit of a knock, 16 celsius the maximum. overnight tonight, we'll see some clear spells to start with but more cloud feeding in from the east through the night. we will hang on to the easterly breeze as well. the minimum temperature between 8 to 10 celsius. another mild night. now a cloudy start to saturday but a similar set—up, high to the north, low to the south, and again we've got this nagging easterly breeze through saturday. a cloudy start in the morning. the cloud likely to break up into the afternoon to some sunny spells. temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 17 celsius in the sunshine. as we head into the evening, we mightjust get one or two showers sparked off by the sunshine, but they will clear overnight saturday into sunday. there is more chance of a day of sunshine on sunday but temperatures next week are set to drop. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and naga munchetty. coming up on breakfast this morning... we'll speak to the ukrainian heavyweight world champion wladimir klitschko, who's been defending his home country alongside his brother vitali, who's the mayor of kyiv — that's after 9 o'clock. hugh laurie talks to us about bringing his favourite agatha christie book to the screen. and actor sarah solemani tells us about her new sitcom which can be summed in in one line — imagine alan partridge as a hotshot hollywood producer. all that still to come a little later. we know now that borisjohnson will be investigated by a commons committee over claims he misled parliament about parties in downing street during lockdown. the government had tried to delay a vote on the matter, but made a u—turn following opposition from its own mps. mrjohnson says he has nothing to hide. let's discuss this with the deputy leader of the liberal democrats, daisy cooper. good morning to you. good morning. what did you — good morning to

did you make of what happened? yesterday we were trying to figure out what this potential amendment that had been proposed would mean to the timing of an investigation by the timing of an investigation by the privilege committee and all of a sudden that was not going to happen. it isjust simply sudden that was not going to happen. it is just simply scandalous we have got to this point. what we discovered yesterday is that conservative mps are too embarrassed to defend the prime minister but too weak to remove him. we ended up in a situation where an opposition motion to require the prime minister to be investigated by a parliamentary inquiry into lying went through on the nod, it is simply extraordinary. what is scandalous about it? the investigation is going to happen. when the allegations first broke, many said at the time the government should come clean, the prime minister should come clean and he should resign or take responsibility somehow. when the prime minister was found out, he continued to lie and lie and lie again. here we are many months later in a cost of living crisis. ., ~' ., months later in a cost of living crisis. ., ~ ., , , ., , crisis. you know this

all dealing with. is this a distraction which has distracted too many days so far? it is a huge distraction for boris johnson and the government and precisely why he should have resigned a long time ago. we have the cost of living crisis and war in ukraine. at a time of national and international crisis, the country needs a prime minister they can trust, who shows true leadership, who is not distracted. we currently do not have that. the liberal democrats had a long time ago the issue with drag and drag and drag. we now know the met police are still investigating, the see grey report still needs to come out and now we are going to have a parliamentary inquiry. —— the see grey report. if the prime minister refuses to resign, conservative mps should remove him. resign, conservative

closely. it was a very good night for them. i know the fans have been struggling a little bit this season to have much to smile about. there is a bit of a relegation battle going on in the premier league. what a night it was for burnley! less than a week after sacking their manager of nearly ten years, sean dyche, they beat southampton 2—0 at turf moor, to give their hopes of premier league survival a huge boost. connor roberts scored the pick of their goals, with his weaker foot, early on in the first half. it's only their 5th win of the season, but the victory leaves them just one point behind everton in 17th, with six games left to play. we will probably speak to the chairman later, and that will be in terms of, does he want us to prepare for the game on sunday? that is the way we are moving with this now. it's just about now, just enjoy the night, enjoy winning the game, and then tomorrow we can start to think about wolves and we are still here and then prepare for that. meanwhile, the worst kept secret in football has finally been confirmed. eric ten hag will be the next manager of manchester united. the dutchman, who is currently in charge of ajax, says he's "hugely excited by the challenge ahead." he'll take over at old trafford at the end of the season, on a three—year deal. but who exactly is eric ten hag? well, our reporter patrick gearey went to amsterdam to find out. at ajax, they never get too attached. managers, like players, come and go. the ajax way remains. but erik ten hag stands out. ahead of the dutch cup final, the talk was of their boss's future in manchester and sadness at an approaching end. he developed the team, he developed the young players. he's a nice guy. he represents the club very well. he's thinking about the opponents, what they're going to do. and he's always a step further. he's thinking a step further. he's like a chess player. sometimes even his moves fail. ten hag's ajax team lost the final to big rivals psv eindhoven. but neither defeat nor victory changes his worldview much. born into a multi—millionaire family of property developers, football's always been a choice, not a necessity for ten hag. that's allowed him to avoid compromise. in one of his first managerialjobs, he led go ahead eagles to promotion. former player bart vriends remembers the manager even had a formation in mind for the kit woman. after his first or second day, he wanted her to put the drinks, like, not randomly on the table, but in straight lines in the right order, for whatever reason. but it was all... it was all part of his bigger plan, like every single part of the club, every single part of the team should be professional. ten hag's style is typically dutch, known as total football. it's exhilarating to watch, but can be exhausting to play. and so far, it's earned him two titles with ajax and a trip to the champions league semi—finals. united know ten hag brings cups, but no shortcuts. erik will make it clear to every player that they have to fit into his system, and the ones who don't or who won't, they will be shown the door. it only works, his style of football, if everybody is into it and buys into it. those superstars like manchester united always want for theirfans, do not always mix and fit with a style where total football is required. well, everywhere around ajax, you see evidence of philosophy, identity and structure. and how well ten hag can apply what he's done here to a very different footballing landscape in manchester could well be the biggest challenge of his career. patrick geary, bbc news in amsterdam. meanwhile, chelsea fans could have some well known investors involved in the club. seven—time formula one world champion sir lewis hamilton and former tennis world number one serena williams are both understood to be supporting the bid by potential new owner sir martin broughton. neither would have a say in the running of the club, we understand it would be purely a business decision. a preferred bidder is still unlikely to be named though this week. men's tennis world number eight, andrey rublev, said wimbledon's ban on russian and belarusian players is "complete discrimination" and "illogical." rublev, who's through to the quarter—finals of the serbia open, is one of three top—10 players, along with fellow russian daniil medvedev and aryna sabalenka of belarus, who cannot play in south west london this summer. wimbledon made the decision to ban the players because of the invasion of ukraine. well, one of britain's hopes for wimbledon this summer, emma raducanu, has won back—to—back matches for the first time this year. she's through to the quarter finals of the stuttgart open after beating germany's tamara korpatsch in three sets. raducanu will now face the world number one, iga swiatek. it's the first time the two players have met on the wta tour. england's jack lisowski says he "wasn't allowed" to pay tribute to ukraine at the world snooker championship, as he is not from the eastern european country. the world number 14 has ukrainian heritage through his grandfather, and has wore a ukraine badge on his waistcoat in previous tournaments. the world championship organisers said the sport cannot be used as a "political platform." interesting he said in the second round, if he wins, he will waive a ukrainian flag. interesting to see how that develops. sport is a constant political battle. and whether it can be used or not to say you do not want to make a political port, it is a real tension and it is eroding a lot more because of what is going on in the world. it happened to me too with black lives matter. we are going to talk later. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it is looking pretty nice in most places. not bad at all. a continuing story. yesterday there was a bit more of a breeze around. quite chilly, especially in the east was that there will be sunny spells. for some it starts cloudier. cloud spreading across england and wales. high pressure in the north and low pressure in the south bringing rough conditions in spain and portugal today. the east north—easterly wind brought in the cloud overnight. as we go through the middle part of the morning, midlands towards wales and the south—west, confined to devon and, later. the cloud will break up more regularly. more sunshine to come. ploughed around the moray firth and the gusty is to north—easterly wind they mention. gusty on the western side of the pennines. here we will see some of the highest temperatures, 17, 18. argyll and bute up to 18 today. on the north sea coast down to nine or 11 degrees. for those suffering from hay fever, it is a look away now moment. high levels across much of the uk. this evening and overnight some of the cloud in the south but more will pushing on the brisk winds across england and wales especially, across england and wales especially, a few light showers this morning. the breeze is enough to stop a frost from forming, so the gardeners can have a night at ease. into the start of the weekend, like today, lots of cloud across england and wales. more showers around, especially in the is, pushing south and south—west later. sunshine starting to break through regularly. we will still get 15 to 17 in western scotland, 16 to 17 in parts of central to southern england. low pressure continues to meet its weight is. into sunday we should hopefully see more sunshine return. still habitually along the eastern coasts. in the north—east of scotland it will be chillier on sunday. with the show is starting to clear away from the south—west and the wind blowing more north—easterly, it is wales and the west that will see these conditions. the wins going into a more northerly direction so it does me next week will feel cooler, close to where we should be for this stage in april. more cloud in the north, sunniest in the south but overnight frosts will return. it is looking quite nice, i am nervous about it stopping because it has been so lovely, we had been spoilt. along that summer is coming. it is what i mean. the end of april. still feels too soon to get the garden furniture out. lovely. the world's most powerful particle accelerator — the large hadron collider — will re—open after three years of being shut down for improvements. do you remember how excited i was about that? you were, yes. scientists around the globe are hoping the upgraded machine will be able to detect new particles and start a physics revolution that could forever change our understanding of the universe. our science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. it's like a medieval castle. you have to have, like, winding roads to get there. deep underground, dr marcelo bono shows me into the heart of the large hadron collider. so this is the first time i'll have seen the detector. and, wow, itjust looks incredible. 7,000 tons of intricate engineering, built to detect minute particles created by atoms crashing together. this is just one of the best positions, because really, it shows you all the majesty of this detector, isn't it? it's huge! majesty is the word. this is the detector that was responsible for one of the most important breakthroughs in science, the discovery of the higgs boson. it's just been upgraded and the hope is it will discover more particles that are completely new to science. and if it does, it could transform our understanding of the universe. we are looking actively for a lot of new phenomena. dark matter, for example. we can look directly, for that matter. for dark matter. could this be one of the biggest discoveries ever in physics? i'd say yes. i'd say it might be. yes, indeed. it's the majority of the universe that is made of this dark matter, and we have at the moment no clue what it is. so, yes, absolutely. that would be incredible. dark matter is shown here in purple in this simulation, sprawling across the blackness of space. the bright areas are galaxies, stars and planets, which make up just a tiny fraction of the universe. the researchers here hope to produce dark matter particles by accelerating the inside of atoms close to the speed of light, around a 27—kilometre ring, and then crashing them together. this is what compresses the magnet... these are the giant magnets that steer the particles around the ring, and focus them into a narrow beam. they've been improved, too, so that they'll now be double the number of collisions, which will greatly increase the chances of finding new particles. for all the physics that we've done since the startup of the lhc, the last ten years, we'll be able to actually get the same amount of data in the next three years as we did in those ten years. and there is also the chance that by both increasing the energy of the lhc, which we've done slightly, and in seeing more of these collisions, that there is something else out there to be discovered. the electronics has also been upgraded to keep up with the increased data. researchers here are also hoping to get confirmation of a new fifth force of nature. i've been hunting for the fifth force for as long as long as i've been a particle physicist. and maybe this is the year. it would be the biggest, biggest discovery of the cern, lhc. i think the biggest discovery in particle physics since, i mean, bigger than the higgs. the particles that are created are going every — in every direction. the researchers here are excited about what the newly—upgraded large hadron collider could achieve. it could help them make discoveries that would lead to the greatest shift in our understanding of the universe since einstein's theories more than 100 years ago. palab ghosh, bbc news at the large hadron collider on the swiss—french border. there are so much this spin candy. —— there is so much this thing can do. we're nowjoined by particle physicist professor tara shears, who has been working on the

with the disappearance of madeleine mccann in 2007. the suspect hasn't been named, but prosecutors say they are acting on the request of the german authorities. simon jones has more. next month, it will be 15 years since madeleine mccann disappeared. what happened to her remains a mystery, despite numerous international investigations. it's been agony for her parents. they've always clung to the hope that their daughter is still alive. but the authorities in germany strongly believe madeleine was murdered. and now prosecutors in portugal, looking into what happened in praia da luz, have identified a suspect, a person of interest, acting on the request of the german authorities. he's not been named, but german police have been investigating this man, referred to as christian b, a convicted rapist, in connection with madeleine's disappearance. he's currently in jail. officers say he was regularly living in the algarve between 1995 and 2007. he has always denied any involvement. there have been tv appeals for information, but the authorities have never had enough evidence to charge him. madeleine went missing from a holiday apartment on may 3rd, 2007, while her parents were having dinner at a nearby restaurant. injuly 2013, the met police opened its own investigation, saying it had new evidence and new witnesses. and it was injune 2020, that german police first revealed they had a suspect. there have been searches in portugal, but no breakthrough. in less than two weeks, a statute of limitations would take effect, meaning under portuguese law, it would no longer be possible to make someone a person of interest. but it's understood this latest development is driven not by timing, but by strong indications that a crime has taken place. there have been many false dawns in the investigations into what happened. the police in germany have previously warned their inquiry, like the others, could end without a charge. but madeleine's parents have always said they need to know what happened so they can find peace. simon jones, bbc news. we can speak now tojim gamble, who's a child protection expert, and a former police officer who helped with the madeleine mccann investigation. good morning. many people will know that phrase are guido from the original investigation. being identified as a formal suspect. explain the significance? under portuguese _

temperatures, a bit of sunshine for people around the country. matt will bring us more. don't disappoint me! you've built that up a lot. i am only going to —— people's helps. good morning. quite a breeze blowing around today. this is a view in parts of southern scotland recently. lovely sunrise. across some parts of england, compared with the past few mornings, a bit more grave. a lot more cloud overnight. you can see on the satellite imagery the areas of white drifting westwards. little splodges of blue, some rain coming from that. not a huge amount. showers in parts of wales, the midlands, the southwest. a few of those will last into the afternoon. most will stay dry. notice the cloud shrinking south and west. increasing sunshine through the afternoon. almost sunniest in parts of northern uk. some sunny spells be had. showers in devon and cornwall this afternoon and evening. it is going to be cool along those eastern coast. nine to 11 degrees. 18 there in north—west wales. maybe 19 in the west of scotland around oban and fort william. compared to seven or eight on the coast. cloud lingering around the moray firth. cold in the breeze. blustery and western areas. as we go through tonight breeze is still there. it brings more cloud back and stops the cloud from forming. the chance of a few showers across england and wales this morning. a lot of dry weather. a little bit

retail sales, how much we are spending how much we are buying. figures tell us most of us are choosing to spend a little bit less, biglia nonessentials. ben is looking at is today. exactly. welcome to belper — a thriving market town, and home to lots of independent businesses like this one. they have felt the pressure that so many shops and retailers have felt across the uk. they were the lockdown now the cost of living crisis. we havejust at lockdown now the cost of living crisis. we have just at the latest figure on how retail is doing. in march, sales fell by 1.4%. that is a significant fall. it comes after a fall of 0.3% in february. the trend for retail sales is looking like a definite downward one. that february figure was not a blip given the 1.4% fall in march. what is behind that? online sales were a big driver. they fell most sharply by almost 8%. perhaps people not feeling the need to spend online the way they were booked during the lockdown granny pandemic. just not feeling the need but also not having the money to spend. we have had the inflation rate hitting a 30 year high. it stands at 7%. average prices for everyday goods up 7% on what they were a year ago. household bills, energy bills, the cost of fuel going up. that hate people's household budget. if they have less disposable income to spend on luxuries and items, they are less likely to go out to their shops and spend that money. of course, businesses are feeling those same prices. their bills are going up. it is costing them more to transport goods. the cruel irony of this is just at the time that business most need people to go out and spend money, these figures suggest people simply don't have the money to go and do that. ben, can ijust say and do that. ben, can i just say you and do

to eight. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. a man who was stabbed to death in his own home in east london has been named. 20—year—old elliot francique suffered what police described as a "brutal and targeted" attack on tuesday afternoon. officers said the suspect forced their way into the victim's home in plaistow and repeatedly stabbed him before fleeing. a ukrainian londoner, who runs a boutique in marylebone, has swapped designer dresses for flak jackets to help ukraine. iryna grant has raised thousands of pounds to provide equipment for the territorial defence in her home town of uman. the civilian fighters helping defend ukraine say they are in desperate need of military equipment and supplies. it felt really very strange, having all these designer outfits, and military equipment in the middle of the boutique with the boxes arriving. i don't know what my clients must have thought. it's stephen lawrence day, which marks the 29th year since the murder of the 18 year old in south east london. the london eye will be illuminated orange in his memory. organisers of the day say it's an opportunity for children to be inspired about what they can achieve in their own lives. stephen was killed in 1993 in an unprovoked racist attack in eltham. a heathrow executive has said passengers were responsible for some of the easter chaos that the airport experienced. nigel milton, chief of staff and carbon at the airport said staff had to remind travellers about the rules over taking liquids on flights and hand luggage, after many had forgotten what can and can't be taken on board. he also acknowledged more security staff are needed. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. but london overground is part suspended willesdenjunction to shepherds bush. on to the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. a reasonably mild start this morning, there is more cloud around. you can see the high pressure to the north later. between it, the isobars are tightly squeezed, so a brisk easterly breeze. the cloud this morning thick enough to produce some light patchy rain and some drizzle. it's more likely to break up a little this afternoon, so some brighter spells. the wind gusting 30 to 35 mph. temperatures taking a bit of a knock, 16 celsius the maximum. overnight tonight, we'll see some clear spells to start with but more cloud feeding in from the east through the night. we will hang on to the easterly breeze as well. the minimum temperature between 8 to 10 celsius. another mild night. now a cloudy start to saturday but a similar set—up, high to the north, low to the south, and again we've got this nagging easterly breeze through saturday. a cloudy start in the morning. the cloud likely to break up into the afternoon to some sunny spells. temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 17 celsius in the sunshine. as we head into the evening, we mightjust get one or two showers sparked off by the sunshine, but they will clear overnight saturday into sunday. there is more chance of a day of sunshine on sunday but temperatures next week are set to drop. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and naga munchetty. while russian forces continue to bombard the eastern part of ukraine, for some people living in the capital kyiv, life is slowly starting to return to some sort of normality. but the local defence force remains on high alert, with soldiers stationed in trenches around the city — waiting to see if russian troops return. mark lowen sent this report. defending ukrainian soil in the heart of the capital. from the trenches of kyiv, the 131st battalion stopped the russians from breaking through, and they're still here if the enemy returns. great britain sent us this weapon. anti—tank missiles from britain? yes, yes. and when was the last time you use this weapon here? secret. we can't disclose our exact location, with the threat still present. how many kilometres of the trenches? i don't know, 10 kilometres, 20 kilometres, 30 kilometres, i don't know. and still, they deepen the defence, fearful that if the russians take eastern ukraine, they could come back for a second try here. until two months ago, kyiv families would picnic in these forests. now, they have new dwellers. soup? translation: the russians were 3 or 4 kilometres - from us, firing with mortars and artillery. if they return, without our resistance, they could storm through. and they will make an effort to do so again, but i think the residents of kyiv can sleep more soundly, knowing that we are here. but it's no smooth ride towards calm for ukraine's capital, on edge after several attacks in the past few days by russian long—range missiles. air siren wails. that's another air raid siren that's just gone off but, as you can see, people are kind of shrugging it off now. it's a pretty frequent occurrence but a reminder that the threat hasn't disappeared here. a hint of normality is peeping through the roadblocks and police checks. metro stations no longer used as shelters, as the city gradually comes back to life. kyiv is fortified, but fearful. for tamara tkachuk, business is still slow and the trauma is deep. translation: it has been| frightening here, my hands still tremble now. this is our country, they have no right to come here and kill us. i'm very worried the russians will come back or, worse, they will wait for us to return and then bomb us from the air. god save us from that. for those dug in for the long—haul, reminders of the life they left behind two months ago, when russia thought it could barge into kyiv with little resistance, and when ukraine's residents became its defenders. mark lowen, bbc news, kyiv. russian president vladimir putin has claimed his forces have taken control of mariupol, despite ukranians continuing to resist the onslaught of attacks. our correspondentjenny hill joins us now from moscow. good joins us now from moscow. morning to you. the kr keen good morning to you. the kremlin keen to claim victory but i wonder what the mood is like right now. if what the mood is like right now. if you are watching television this morning, waking up in russia, you probably would think vladimir putin's special military operation is going extremely well. we saw a classic piece of kremlin pr yesterday, vladimir putin on television meeting his defence minister and telling russians that mariupol is now in russian hands, declaring in effect a success. vladimir putin very solidly congratulating his defence minister. one detail rather undermines that narrative and that is the fact that russian troops have been unable to dislodge ukrainian fighters still defending that sprawling steelworks in the city. vladimir putin on television gave the order to cancel russian plans to storm the plant, he said that might cost you many lives in terms of russian soldiers, and instead seal it up so tightly he said that a flight cannot get in or out, presumably the idea that the people inside and the ukrainian government saying there are civilians and ukrainian injured soldiers inside, it might run out of food. we are told supplies are running short and they will eventually come out. for the russians, it is being dressed up and presented to them very much as a victory. what is happening at the steelworks is really a small detail on the side as far as russians are concerned. on the side as far as russians are concerned-—

as the foot full team, why should i be excited about this? —— football team. sport has had the ability to bring together a town. then he has been through its fair share of troubles. one think people will get behind is the football team. a win last night really does unite people. there is a great atmosphere. it was one of the first clubs i covered when we moved over. lower league clubs are rooted in the community and there is more of a sense of what that means to the towns around them. there was a family feel to the club and how they operate. there was a lot of upset when sean dyche was sacked. they are in a relegation fight but they got a massive result and are kind of battling with everton in this running to the end of the premier league season. sean dyche was in charge for nearly ten years, they sacked him. it has not been going well. last night it was a 2-0 been going well. last night it was a 2—0 win. connor roberts scored the pick of their goals, with his weaker foot, early on in the first half. it's only their 5th win of the season, but the victory leaves them just one point behind everton in 17th, with six games left to play. i will probably speak to the chairman later, and that will be in terms of, does he want us to prepare for the game on sunday? that is the way we are moving with this now. it's just about now, just enjoy the night, enjoy winning the game, and then tomorrow we can start to think about wolves and if we are still here, then prepare for that. meanwhile, the worst kept secret in football has finally been confirmed. erik ten hag will be the next manager of manchester united. the dutchman, who is currently in charge of ajax, says he's "hugely excited by the challenge ahead." he'll take over at old trafford at the end of the season, on a three—year deal. but who exactly is erik ten hag? the manager stands out. the head of the dutch cup final, the talk was of the dutch cup final, the talk was of the bass's future in manchester and sadness at an approaching end. he: developed the team and young players, here's a nice guy, represented the club very well. he is thinking about the opponents, what _ is thinking about the opponents,

meanwhile, chelsea fans could have some well known investors involved in the club. seven—time formula one world champion sir lewis hamilton and former tennis world number one serena williams are both understood to be supporting the bid by potential new owner sir martin broughton. neither would have a say in the running of the club, we understand it would be purely a business decision. a preferred bidder is still unlikely to be named though this week. there could be new owners in the championship too, as american businessman henry mauriss has had a £115 million bid accepted by sheffield united. the club currently sit in the final play—off spot with three games remaining, and any deal to buy united would be subject to the efl�*s owners' and directors' test. mauriss previously bid £350 million to buy newcastle united in 2020 but the deal fell through. great britain's track cycling team have enjoyed an excellent start to the track nations cup in glasgow. the men's team pursuit won silver on the opening day, as did the women's team in the same event. katie archibald, neah evans, laura kenny and josie knight finished second to germany, just as they did at the tokyo 2020 olympics last summer. well, one of britain's hopes for wimbledon this summer, emma raducanu, has won back—to—back matches for the first time this year. she's through to the quarter finals of the stuttgart open after beating germany's tamara korpatsch in three sets. raducanu will now face the world number one iga swiatek. it's the first time the two players have met on the wta tour. men's tennis world number eight, andrey rublev, says wimbledon's ban on russian and belarusian players is "complete discrimination" and "illogical." rublev, who's through to the quarter—finals of the serbia open, is one of three top—10 players, along with fellow russian daniil medvedev and aryna sabalenka of belarus, who cannot play in south west london this summer. wimbledon made the decision to ban the players because of the invasion of ukraine. england's jack lisowski says he "wasn't allowed" to pay tribute to ukraine at the world snooker championship, as he is not from the eastern european country. the world number 14 has ukrainian heritage through his grandfather — and has wore a ukraine badge on his waistcoat in previous tournaments. the world championship organisers said the sport cannot be used as a "political platform." interesting he was speaking after that and he is in second—round action and said he will wave a ukrainian flag if he wins at. just as you are saying at the top of the sport constantly trying to decide where the line is in terms of what they can say or do not say. and with public opinion as well sports bodies can be seen to be uncaring or too reactive. it is a learning process. absolutely. the easy answers in the past where they could bypass any hard discussions, they no longer seem to hold true, do they? thank ou. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. he is bringing us sunshine as usual. the weather is nice as well at scrimmage make you can come in every friday. a lovely start across western parts of scotland at the moment. warmer in western scotland throughout the weekend than in parts of spain and portugal, certainly for the next couple of days. warmer than madrid, seville and barcelona for the next few days. stormy weather continues across spain and portugal. anyone who has headed off to spain for easter has been treated to seems like this. massive downpours. more to come today and tomorrow. this area of low pressure has been working its way east. we have high pressure with us. with the two areas close together we have more of a breeze around. quite a blustery day. lots of cloud around england and wales. they will be mainly through the midlands, wales and the south—west. the area of plaid will shrink further south as we go through the day. more of you will have sunshine. low cloud in the far north—east of scotland. in the blustery wind, the strongest gas in the west of england. temperatures rise to 18, 19. in the east only around ten, 11 on the coast. wherever you are the sunshine will be strong enough and the pollen levels will be high. tree pollen in full flow at this time of year. tonight we still have the blustery wind with us. cloud across the south initially a more well—developed pushing enough north sea. england and wales are most likely to see it but may be more cloud across the far north and north—east of scotland. the debris is implicit will not be as cold as recent nights. cloud across england and wales bursting. the greatest chance of a few showers around. some sunny spells developing through the afternoon. chilly are in the north—east of scotland where the low cloud will be in place. 16, 17 in the far south—west of the country. the area of low pressure across spain and portugal shifts into central europe later. as it moves away we will probably get more sunshine on our shores again. a lot more sunshine and a few showers towards parts of devon and cornwall. low cloud in the north—east of scotland which will become more of a feature next week. with their wins more north—easterly it means the south coast and the south west and wales will see the highest temperatures. we will have a bit of that. he's best known for starring in house, the night manager, and of course, blackadder, but hugh laurie has taken on the role of actor, writer and director in a new adaption of the agatha christie novel, why didn't they ask evans? the three—part series is a tale of

said, that was too much, wasn't it? i had to go, actually, it was great yes. she knew that already, i didn't really have to say anything. sometimes it is a question of standing back and letting people find it a bit. other actors want to beat they definitely want to be steered, they want to be told, do i go faster, slower, louder, quieter, whatever it is stopped how do you you do that when it is

actors were so... all of them, every single one of them understood, they got what it was i was trying to do and they came sort of pretty much fully formed. i just had to sit there and enjoy it, which

morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and naga munchetty. our headlines today. portuguese prosecutors investigating the disappearance of madeline mccann have declared they have an official suspect, 15 years after she went missing. in ukraine, president zelensky insists mariupol hasn't fallen to russian forces, as thousands of people take refuge inside the city's besieged steel factory. borisjohnson becomes the first prime minister to be investigated for claims that he deliberately misled parliament, overshadowing his official visit to india. more pressure on our shops and businesses as retail sales fell 14% in march compared to the previous month. the cost of living crisis really biting. i am in belper in derbyshire to hear how shops are getting on. we've been to normandy, to remember the life and fundraising efforts of d—day veteran harry billinge, who died earlier this month at the age of 96. and a bit more cloud across england and wales today. the chance of the odd isolated shower. sunny spells developing but a keen breeze. details coming up. good morning. it's friday, the 22nd of april. a man has been declared as an official person of interest by portuguese authorities, in connection with the disappearance of madeleine mccann in 2007. the suspect hasn't been named, but prosecutors say they are acting on the request of the german authorities. simon jones has more. next month, it will be 15 years since madeleine mccann disappeared. what happened to her remains a mystery, despite numerous international investigations. it's been agony for her parents. they've always clung to the hope that their daughter is still alive. but the authorities in germany strongly believe madeleine was murdered. and now prosecutors in portugal, looking into what happened in praia da luz, have identified a suspect, a person of interest, acting on the request of the german authorities. he's not been named, but german police have been investigating this man, referred to as christian b, a convicted rapist, in connection with madeleine's disappearance. he's currently in jail. officers say he was regularly living in the algarve between 1995 and 2007. he has always denied any involvement. there have been tv appeals for information, but the authorities have never had enough evidence to charge him. madeleine went missing from a holiday apartment on may 3rd, 2007, while her parents were having dinner at a nearby restaurant. injuly 2013, the met police opened its own investigation, saying it had new evidence and new witnesses. and it was injune 2020, that german police first revealed they had a suspect. there have been searches in portugal, but no breakthrough. in less than two weeks, a statute of limitations will take effect, meaning under portuguese law, it would no longer be possible to make someone a person of interest. but it's understood this latest development is driven not by timing, but by strong indications that a crime has taken place. there have been many false dawns in the investigations into what happened. the police in germany have previously warned their inquiry, like the others, could end without a charge. but madeleine's parents have always said they need to know what happened so they can find peace. simon jones, bbc news. let's get more on this now from our correspondent in lisbon, alison roberts. good morning. the tour goes

afternoon across parts of england and wales, before starting to break it up and more sunshine developing. this afternoon i could still be an isolated shower close to devon and cornwall, sunshine and the channel islands, sunny spells from the midlands northwards. with the wind, nine to 12 degrees on eastern coast, north—west england might be particularly gusty, north—west wales, 17, 18, could get up to 18 or 19 and western parts of scotland. the low cloud in the north—east of scotland could linger around the moray firth, keeping things chilly. this evening and overnight cloud in the south to begin with, another area of cloud pushes in. england and wales in particular. with the breeze in place, it won't be too chilly out there in terms of frost. it should be frost free. as you into the weekend, a bit of cloud on saturday morning. some showers. much more sunshine on sunday. throughout it will be sunshine on sunday. throughout it will be quite sunshine on sunday. throughout it will be quite windy. thank you, matt. the d—day veteran harry billinge earned a place in all of our hearts with his tireless fundraising efforts, which helped build the british normandy memorial in 2020. sadly, harry died earlier this month, but ahead of his funeral next week, john maguire�*s been speaking to people in the french town of arromanches, where he was a much—loved visitor. harry billinge revisited normandy many times during his 96 years. aged 18, he was ordered to [and here on d—day. but, as an older man, he felt compelled to come. and six months ago, he saw for himself the memorial he'd worked so hard to help create. i feel very humble today, and i'm deeply moved, because i didn't realise what a wonderful place it is now. still today, the town of arromanches is defined by the events of191ili. the remains of the mulberry harbour, built by the allies, are visible at low tide. the veterans, the liberators, as they're called, are held in the highest regard. and harry enjoys a special place among people's affections. harry was part of our lives here in arromanches, and he was a very, very important person for us. his thoughts were always with the comrades who died fighting for normandy, and he was adamant they should never be forgotten. the young generation should learn and know about this, this little man that was just full of life, and that fought so much to actually get this enormous memorial created. a photograph with harry is a highly prized possession here. yes, yes, always smiling, and always laughing also. guillaume dormy runs the d—day museum in arromanches, and says harry had an innate ability to connect with people and to share his story. when harry walking the streets, everybody stop and want to, eh, to speak with him. we know the story of this man only in books. but when you met them, you can touch the history. alain desetercke�*s friendship with harry started almost 25 years ago, when a veterans' lunch went on so long that he was locked out of his accommodation, and had to stay at the hotel alain owned. we have one room, and if you want to sleep in the same room. how do you how do you describe harry? for me, it's the same of my father. surely, there's no higher compliment? he had friends everywhere here. in laurent labailly�*s shop are cherished photos, including ones of laurent and his wife, who travelled to st austell to see harry at christmas. it was a great man with a big character. i don't know, i speak very bad english. but he will be in my heart for the rest of my life. and above the beach where harry was among the first to land, stands the british normandy memorial. well, this is the bench at the memorial site dedicated to honour harry's fundraising efforts and, of course, now dedicated to his memory. his legacy is assured, his name carved in stone on the memorial�*s walls. but when you talk to people who live in the local area, those who got to know him over recent years, over recent decades, he meant so much to them — notjust because of what he did as an 18—year—old on that beach behind us, but what he taught people in recent years, and the joy he brought into their lives. that will live long in their memories. they say here he fought two missions during his life. first, the battle for normandy. and then, the fight to see those who died on this ground, remembered for evermore. john maguire, bbc news, ver—sur—mer. i thinkjohn captured perfectly harry's spirit there as well and just what he had done for recognition and remembrance. we're joined now byjulie verne from the normandy

good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. a man who was stabbed to death in his own home in east london has been named. 20—year—old elliot francique suffered what police described as a "brutal and targeted" attack on tuesday afternoon. officers said the suspect forced their way into the victim's home in plaistow and repeatedly stabbed him before fleeing. victim of fatal stabbing in plaistow named a ukrainian londoner who runs a boutique in marylebone has swapped designer dresses for flak jackets to help ukraine. iryna grant has raised thousands of pounds to provide equipment for the territorial defence in her home town of uman. the civilian fighters helping defend ukraine say they are in desperate need of military equipment and supplies. it felt really very strange, having all these designer outfits, and military equipment in the middle of the boutique with the boxes arriving. i don't know what my clients must have thought. police say they are growing concerned about a 13—year—old boy who has gone missing from enfield. andy litoluby was reported missing a week ago. he was last seen in the new southgate area. his family and police have asked anyone with information to call 101. from may, all dogs taken to richmond and bushy park must be kept on a lead until the end ofjuly. it's to protect both the dogs and deer during the birthing season when female deer hide

right now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning apart from the metropolitan line which has severe delays. and london overground is part suspended willesdenjunction to shepherds bush. on to the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. a reasonably mild start this morning, there is more cloud around. you can see the high pressure to the north later. between it, the isobars are tightly squeezed, so a brisk easterly breeze. the cloud this morning thick enough to produce some light patchy rain and some drizzle. it's more likely to break up a little this afternoon, so some brighter spells. the wind gusting 30 to 35 mph. temperatures taking a bit of a knock, 16 celsius the maximum. overnight tonight, we'll see some clear spells to start with but more cloud feeding in from the east through the night. we will hang on to the easterly breeze as well. the minimum temperature between 8 to 10 celsius. another mild night. now a cloudy start to saturday but a similar set—up, high to the north, low to the south, and again we've got this nagging easterly breeze through saturday. a cloudy start in the morning. the cloud likely to break up into the afternoon to some sunny spells. temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 17 celsius in the sunshine. as we head into the evening, we mightjust get one or two showers sparked off by the sunshine, but they will clear overnight saturday into sunday. there is more chance of a day of sunshine on sunday but temperatures next week are set to drop. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. i don't think the safer has ever been this bill, has it? i like it stop it is a rather packed safer. here on breakfast, we've been
