absolutely and the sun isjust coming up here but - marine le pen? absolutely and the sun isjust coming up here but not| sun isjust coming up here but not the new dawn that so many had been hoping for. barack macron who helped to polarise the country now has to —— president macron he now has to unify the victory. we were in a bar in this area last night and when he was going to make his speech, people turned up the music because they were just not listening any more. president macron is acutely aware that semi people voted for him with a broken heart and others disliked his policies so much that they were going to vote for someone on the far right. marine le pen has done better than she ever did before, 12 million votes. that gives you an idea of the challenge that barack obama faces. there was a collective —— president macron faces. there is some relief because marine le pen would have fractured the eu, created a brexit style fracture across the union. the concerns of people here at henin—beaumont station have not gone away, they are worried about the cost of a cup of coffee, putting children's food on their tables. those are the things that president macron has to challenge in his second term.— macron has to challenge in his second term. , ., second term. looks beautiful there, thank ou. we'rejoined now from paris by catherine nicholson, europe affairs editor at france 24. i don't know if you are listening to our reporter there, what does five more years now mean for macron and france? it’s more years now mean for macron and france? �* , . , ., france? it's an interesting one, five more _ france? it's an interesting one, five more years _ france? it's an interesting one, five more years of— france? it's an interesting one, five more years of the - france? it's an interesting one, five more years of the same - france? it's an interesting one, - five more years of the same person, but definitely not of the same thing. emmanuel macron seems to be very aware that a lot of the people who went to the polling stations yesterday and cast their ballot in his favour did so holding their nose as we tend to stay in france. he gave what i think was quite a subdued victory speech at the foot of the eiffel tower, a really grand location for quite a low—key speech in the end. he said that he knows a lot of people did not choose him as a positive choice, and he said that he feels a sense of responsibility towards those people. he is talking about people from the left side of the political spectrum in general and also the traditional centre—right and people who might vote for the classic equivalent of the labour party and the conservative party, which essentially fell apart in the first round but still want to be heard. then of course you have got the far left voters who almost got a third place in the first round, very angry with emmanuel macron and will definitely be making their voices heard from here on in. it is heard from here on in. it is significant _ heard from here on in. it is significant that _ heard from here on in. it is significant that the - heard from here on in. it is significant that the gap - heard from here on in. it is significant that the gap between macron and le pen has halved until 2017, how did she manage to do that? yes, it was 66 to 33% win in 2017 for macron, down to 58 to 42%. halving the gap in just five years. i think there are quite a few reasons behind this. firstly, marine le pen herself, the way she has led this campaign, she has essentially had five years of campaigning for this election. and she has been out and about in the towns and villages around france, meeting people. and we know that has gone down very well with people around france, a country where, it is a big country, geographically twice the size of the uk over the same population to people are quite spread out. a lot of people in quite small towns, where they have got a lot of public services. a lot of those people talk about being forgotten by emmanuel macron, they see him as being distant. marine le pen has been there for quite a long time shaking their heads and talking to them about their worries. we have also seen marine le pen benefiting from this general collapse of the centre ground of the traditional parties, i should say, in france. the former socialist party and the centre—right party. neither of them got 5% in the first round of this election. this is a really historic repainting and redrawing of the french political landscape we are seeing in floods of our eyes right now. do iandscape we are seeing in floods of our eyes right now.— landscape we are seeing in floods of our eyes right now. do you know why turnout was — our eyes right now. do you know why turnout was so _ our eyes right now. do you know why turnout was so low?

yeah, it was very low, almost a record level. turnout was so low? yeah, it was| very low, almost a record level of combined abstentions and spoiled ballots, about 28% of the electorate did not cast a positive vote in one way or another yesterday. we were expecting this, it is one way that a lot of people were wanting to show a protest against emmanuel macron, against marine le pen, a lot of those far left voters had been out and protesting actively in the street in the last two weeks saying, how can be forced to make this choice between these two candidates who do not me at all? it is a trend —— who do not represent me at all? we have seen this trend in growing in local elections in france, people not feeling represented by any politicians. they have to been talks about redrawing the way that the french system works, talk of rewriting the constitution and, ringing in element of proportional representation so people do not feel so disengaged. that will play in debates in the coming years, we have the parliamentary elections coming up the parliamentary elections coming up in a couple of weeks injune, and the farleft up in a couple of weeks injune, and the far left parties and the other parties are going to definitely already promised to make their voices heard on that and many other issues, getting more french people represented. i think it is something that emmanuel macron alluded to as well, he said he wanted to be the president of all french people, he is no longer the candidate of one camp, he is the present of all french people. french people will be demanding that he makes that the case. ., ~' demanding that he makes that the case. . ~ , ., demanding that he makes that the case. ., ~ , ., y demanding that he makes that the case. . ~ ,, , . case. thank you very much, catherine- _ two of america's top diplomats have been in kyiv for talks with the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, and defence secretary lloyd austin, visited the capital yesterday and said american diplomatic staff who left before the russian invasion would be returning to ukraine this week. our correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. good morning. can you talk us through the significance of this meeting?

"please take them to charity," he says. "i have no need for them now". caroline davies, bbc news, odesa. the prime minister has been in contact with labour's deputy leader, angela rayner, to condemn an article written about her in the mail on sunday, calling it �*misogynistic�*. the paper claimed some unnamed conservative mps said she tried to distract borisjohnson in the commons by crossing and uncrossing her legs. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. i almost don't know where to start with this but it has caused huge outrage, hasn't it?— outrage, hasn't it? yes, 2022, apparently! — outrage, hasn't it? yes, 2022, apparently! it _ outrage, hasn't it? yes, 2022, apparently! it has _ outrage, hasn't it? yes, 2022, apparently! it has been - outrage, hasn't it? yes, 2022,| apparently! it has been roundly condemned, the report on the mail on sunday and particularly the comments in the report by everyone across the political spectrum. the chairman of the conservative party oliver dowden was on tv yesterday and said it was absolutely ludicrous. angela rayner herself described it as a perverted smear. the prime minister tweeted saying it was an example of misogyny and that he followed it up with a personal text message we understand to the labour deputy leader. quite a bizarre story, really. you can see why the conservatives wanted to close this down very quickly because it does make the party look quite misogynistic which is why it has been roundly condemned by any conservative who has gone close to a microphone. part of me also thinks it isn't particularly flattering to the prime minister either and i wonder if the person who briefed this to the newspaper was doing it as a bit of a backstab of the prime minister as well. it is another example ofjust minister as well. it is another example of just a minister as well. it is another example ofjust a lot of noise attending angela rayner. she does her politics at quite high speed and quite high volume, she gets quite a lot of criticism for it as well. thank you, adam. it's 16 minutes past six, monday morning, thank you for being with us. carol has the weather for us. good morning. the weather is quite and samey for the rest of this week, it will be mainly dry, cooler and cloudier than it was at the weekend. starting with quite a bit of cloud across scotland getting into north—east england this morning, producing patchy light rain, drizzle here and there. showers drifting from the east towards the west towards the course of the day with a bit more cloud developing. nonetheless there will be sunshine in between. we still have an easterly breeze along the north sea coastline so here it is going to feel that bit cooler as we go through the day. temperatures ranging from eight in the north to 15 or 60, possibly 17 as we go towards the south—west. as we head through the evening and overnight, clear skies, cloud coming across scotland across northern england, patchy light rain and drizzle coming from that. under the clearer skies it will be cool enough for a touch of frost across southern scotland and parts of england and wales. temperatures holding up in northern ireland. any patchy mist and fog will lift quite quickly tomorrow, many started on a sunny note but the cloud across scotland and northern england spreading further west as we head to the day. you could catch the odd isolated shower from that. once again, along the north sea coastline it will feel cooler with the breeze coming in from the north—east but towards the west, especially the south—west, temperatures of 17 or 18 degrees. thank you, speak to your bit later. victims of sexual offences are facing the longest waits on record for their cases to go through crown courts in england and wales. a bbc investigation has found that last year, cases took on average more than eight months to conclude, but the delays varied across different regions. dominic casciani reports. how long should someone wait forjustice? in the oasis of calm of her home, lisa tells me about the nightmare of criminaljustice delays after she was raped in 2017. she had damning evidence against her attacker, a man she knew well. i was led to believe originally that it would be quite a speedy resolvement to the case and it would be taken onto charging and that decision would come about. however, it didn't happen in that way. and it was a very long process. police and prosecutors took two years to charge the attacker, taking him to court in the summer of 2019. but existing backlogs meant no trial before the following april, and then the pandemic closed courts. the rapist was only convicted in late summer 2021. i think if i hadn't have gone forward and reported it, i would have been able to have brought my mental health around a lot quicker. than extending the ordeal of having the additional impact of the court system, just a lack of understanding of how people feel in that scenario, building themselves up to be knocked back down again. time and time again. national data and a bbc court by court analysis shows lisa's experience is not exceptional. sexual offence complaints take the longest time to get through courts, a national average of 8.6 months in england and wales. there is huge variation across the country. leicester crown court being the longest. at 15 months, last autumn. overall, the delay for all offences from report to crown court completion is 697 days. criminal barristers say the system is chronically underfunded. they have begun industrial action, refusing to take some cases to force the government to inject more cash. a young junior barrister, in the first three years of their practice, is earning just over £12,000 per year before tax. a lot of barristers now are working under minimum wage. we are facing a huge exodus of practitioners from the profession. sophia chandler was victimised by her former assistant who stole treasured gifts from her late husband. her wait for a prosecution, five years. come on, darling. the offender even had time, albeit briefly, to go on the run. she stole my last memories i had from my late husband. and that's what i will never forgive her for. never. the more it was delayed, the more anxious i was feeling, and the more scared i was to go out. if it were to happen again, i would still go to the police and persevere. otherwise there would be no justice, what's the point of having the police and the court? this temporary court, one of many set up during the pandemic, is part of the ministry ofjustice's solution to backlogs. barristers say there are not enough lawyers to push cases through on time, but ministers predict that their long term plan including recording video evidence in advance from victims, will turn things around. it's very difficult for anyone who has been the victim of rape or serious sexual violence, who have recovered from the original crime, and then you have got to muster the courage to go through the process. i'm absolutely committed to making sure that those victims have the support every step of the way. how much confidence you do have in the system having gone through all this? none. none at all. i would never, god forbid it ever happened again or to any of my family, i wouldn't promote going through the system or even reporting crimes of this nature any more. dominic casciani, bbc news. this weekend marked one year since a young man died afterjumping into the river thames to rescue a woman. folajimi olubunmi—adewole, known asjimi to friends, was just 20. jimi's big passion was his music, and this morning in his memory one of his songs will be played on bbc radio for the first time. graham satchell reports. jimi adewole. he lost his life a year ago trying to rescue someone who had jumped into the river thames. music was always jimi's first love. in a studio in south london, a group ofjimi's friends have been working on a series of tracksjimi had started recording. # only go through if i've got brothers with me i can trust. my bro had talent kind of thing, you know what i mean? when i heard his music was like, wow, like, you know? could have actually done something. # i'm still the same guy i was. # no amount of money is changing me, blatantly. i feel like music, it hits harder when the person is not here any more but the lyrics are so deep. he is a hero, so, yeah, man, it is only right that we do right by him. london bridge. jimi had just left work with his best friend bernard when they heard shouting from the river thames. it was pitch black. it was one in the morning. couldn't see anything. i remembered me andjimi looking around on both sides of the river, just trying to understand, where is she at. we could hear the noise of someone shouting. i rememberjimi going straight at it. he was like, "bro, we have to find her." he was determined to save her, that woman, that night. jimi and another manjumped in. the woman was eventually rescued, butjimi didn't make it. he was like my little brother. my big little brother. because he was much taller than me. but itjust shows that not everyone who you see is bad. not everyone you look at has ill intentions. jimi just had a pure intention, pure mind, pure heart. it's hard. i shared good moments with him. memories that i cherish for the rest of my life. just... he's an amazing person. you miss him? yeah, a lot, a lot, a lot. bernard and music producer 40 on radio 1 xtra. this is to commemorate his anniversary, right? jimi's track is being played on national radio for the first time this morning. right, boys, you can be radio hosts now. you can introduce the song. this isttizzi67, featuring psychs and c4. i'll let you know. # i'll let you know. # bridges got burned, i let her go. # heart felt pain, let it show. # money down, i choose to make it roll. _ # if you're my lover then you just let her go. - it's nice. it's a very nice feeling. because it still feels like he's there. you might not be there physically, but i know he is here spiritually. # i'm really from the hood, i'm really from the ghetto. i # built like lego... and people just admiring him, just taking him in for a moment. let him tell his story. i mean, i'll be able to tell my kids the story. that is one of my dreams right now is to be able to tell my kids, that's your uncle right there. yeah. there have been a number of tributes tojimi since he died a year ago, but his friends say releasing his music is a legacy that will last for ever. such a sad story but he was clearly an amazing young man.— such a sad story but

travel and weather where you are. good morning. tributes are being paid to a londoner who died a year ago after diving into the river thames to rescue a stranger. known asjimi, he was described as a hero afterjumping into the river at london bridge. a year on, his friends and family are campaigning for a plaque to remember him. the aspiring musician and with the help of his friends, his music was played this morning on bbc one extra. this track was unfinished byjimi and then i thought to myself, why not get talented artists i know in south london who can tell a story. so i had both psychs and c4 on the track. and they are... they made that track look sound. beautiful to listen to. so it is a positive outcome we are getting right now for the song itself, so i'm happy. the mental health of those working in london's hospitality industry industry is said to be worse than at the height of the pandemic. it is partly due to the high number of vacancies in the sector putting pressure on existing staff. westminster council says it has created £1 million scheme to help fill vacant positions in the west end. a couple who have been travelling to see each other by train for the past seven years are on track for the next stage in their relationship. londoner nirmal chohan first met vidya patel back in 2014. they usually meet at euston station. on their last reunion, this happened. after the shock wore off, she said yes. this is how tfl services are looking right now... quite a few delays and closures to look out for so check before you travel. onto the weather now. good morning. it is a chilly start and the trend this week is for things to get rather fresh. you can see the blue area, cold air starting to sink south. this morning, some bright and sunny spells, but cloud building. showers blowing through on that still moderate to fresh north—easterly breeze. still some sunny spells this afternoon. temperatures reaching 15—16c. feeling a little fresher. overnight tonight, remaining showers will clear. the sky clears and the wind will drop, so we could see some mistiness by dawn tomorrow. the minimum temperature between 1—4c. you can see high pressure starts to slip further south. the wind will be a little bit lighter through the course of tuesday. we will see more sunshine. still some cloud moving in through the afternoon. that could produce one or two showers. many places dry tomorrow. temperatures up to around 15 celsius. night—time temperatures are going to be pretty chilly. outside of central london, you might see a frost. and we still have no significant rain in the forecast. i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. we are talking about allotments. they grew in popularity during the world wars when people had to become more self—sufficient and grow their own fruit and veg. now, with the rising cost of living, there's increased demand for plots once again. nina's at an allotment in derby. it looks gorgeous there. good morning. you are not wrong. it is peaceful. stopping to have a little moment in this corner of paradise as people have done for generations before me. we are not far from the city centre. this is quite typical of how the 330,000 allotment plots in england sprung up. you can see terraced houses that sprang up in the late 19th, early 20th century. the back yards there, no garden spaces, so land like this was taken over by families. and now see how it is flourishing. we have neville planting coriander. and also they are working hard on the salad patch and medicinal herbs. just behind me, towards those houses, there is a plot not being used. you are supposed to use them round three quarters of your allotment space or you could have it taken away from you could have it taken away from you and there is pressure for these little pieces of paradise. i have been looking back on the amazing history of the allotment. the allotment is a great british tradition. a place to get away from it all, connect with nature and even have a go at being more self—sufficient. green spaces dividing into plots for people to grow their own have been around since the 18th century. but it was in 1916 that councils were given power to commandeer land to grow food to help with the war effort. newsreel: now he's got a garden— of his own where among his pals he finds the greatest fun he's ever known in making things grave. - known in making things grow. and, as the nation dug for victory, by the end of world war ii, a fifth of our fruit and veg was grown in gardens and allotments. it is only in the long—term that you can build up soilfertility to grow really good vegetables. you know, big onions, big leeks and big celery. but for a while, they fell out of fashion and the percentage of fresh food that came from allotments fell to single figures. fast forward to 2020 and a global pandemic pushed us to connect with nature, pushing up allotment waiting lists. it is just a sanctuary for me. my work is stressful and i come here at any opportunity i can, get away to come here. it's very relaxing. and now, with the squeeze on budgets and concerns around where food comes from and how it gets here, could the humble allotment also become a vitally important part of life once again? we can look at the numbers behind the pressure for these plots. nearly all local authorities have seen a noticeable increase in the demand. more than a third of councils say there is a waiting list more than 1000 people and on average the weight is 18 months. and there are concerns about how food gets here, some of the elements adding pressure. the demand remains quote sky—high. which is why it is important to use your space if you have it. we can chat to the person who runs this community space. you said allotments run in your blood because you have been on the allotment with your grandads and she with this high. what allotment with your grandads and she with

a big gap between - it is not being used. yes, i think. there is a big gap between people being able to know how they can access spaces and then getting to access spaces and then getting to access the space. a lot of private allotments have waiting lists, as well as the council allotment spaces. very often, it is the situation where someone might take on a space and then they give up after a few months. it can be hard work. it is a massive commitment. but a massive payoff, notjust for mental health, but growing your own food as prices keep increasing has to be beneficial. but it is a huge commitment. on average, people spend 4-5 commitment. on average, people spend 4—5 hours in their allotment every week. 75% of the land, if it is not used,it week. 75% of the land, if it is not used,

but campaigners say not a single penny has yet been awarded. now 12 leading scientists have written to the care minister, gillian keegan, calling for urgent action to free up funding, as megan paterson reports. rob burrow, mbe. a campaigning force who, along with friends doddie weir and stephen darby, has helped the nation talk about motor neurone disease. mr robert burrow, for services to rugby and to motor neurone disease awareness during covid—19. it is a disease that has taken rob's voice and his mobility, but it can't dim his passion to help others survive it. in september last year, rob, as part of the united to end mnd coalition, went to downing street asking the government for a £50 million investment in mnd research. we are now on the brink of a meaningful treatment, so we needed to get funds to help prolong life and laterfind a cure. two months later, the government announced it would invest at least £50 million over five years into research in a bid to find a cure — a source of hope for campaigners like rob. with the government pledging £50 million for research to find a positive treatment and possible cure means all sufferers have hope in the future and the hope of living a longer life expectancy. i feel on top of the world. it is like playing great in a game, knowing someone is listening to us. the hard work starts now for our amazing scientists to find an effective treatment. but, since then, how much of the £50 million has been awarded? according to campaigners, none at all. attempts to access the funding have been unsuccessful. scientists told individual research applications must be made, and the funding pot isn't ring—fenced for motor neurone disease. we submitted a proposal to the government spending review back in the autumn last year and it laid out a plan that would bring together a broad range of knowledge and expertise across the whole mnd research community in the uk. it involves 22 research centres across five universities. and in terms of timing, we knew that significant new money would have to wait until the new financial year in april, but we are now well into april and we did expect to be further ahead, with much more clarity on how the government funding will be accessed. in a letter to the minister for care, gillian keegan, 12 leading mnd scientists say efficient, responsive and rapid access to the assured funds is crucial to understanding and treating mnd. the prime minister and the health secretary promised £50 million specifically for that purpose. this led to new hope for people living with the disease, hope that is now being undermined. no money has been received by researchers as of yet, and i am told that funds may not even be reserved for mnd. red tape and bureaucracy are also making the application process difficult and will make it harder to set up amazing new ways of potentially discovering new treatments and securing new investment. people with mnd are potentially being betrayed and do not have time to wait. a spokesperson for the department of health and social care told us.. the united to end mnd coalition will meet with the care minister this week. campaigners' keen access to funding and the hope it brings will follow soon after. i know some of the frustration the scientists have been feeling. they feel they are on the brink of a breakthrough, some type of progress. but they need the funding to do that work. which is why it was such a celebration when the money was announced. we will be looking into that more at 8:10am. if you have comments about what we have covered today, you can contact us. john is here with the sport. a good day for some on merseyside. the merseyside derby is always big. the first half was mad. even bigger when liverpool are chasing a record four possible trophies. and everton desperately trying to stay in the premier league. everton played brilliantly. they did a greatjob at the might and strength of liverpool, they got the goal they needed. around the hour mark. but everton showing that fight. big decisions. they should have had a penalty everton fines will stay. good morning. the rampaging reds back on the coat tails of league leaders manchester city trailing them by a point, with five league games left to play. divok origi with their second. but despite the defeat that leaves them in the relegation zone, frank lampard said he was more positive about staying up. burnley the team everton are chasing are out of the bottom three after beating wolves 1—o, matej vydra with the goal. christian pulisic gave chelsea a 1—0 win over west ham. manager thomas tuchel said it was an important win, that "released the pressure and tension" caused by their recent poor home form. celtic�*s lead over rangers in the scottish premiership is back to six points with four games left to play. they won 2—0 at ross county — kyogo furuhashi with the opener. their next game is the final old firm match of the season, on sunday. chelsea are hoping to win the women's super league, manager emma hayes hailed her side's win over tottenham as one of her sides best ever performances. spurs took an early lead and chelsea's keeper was sent off after 20 minutes but the blues recovered superbly with australia striker sam kerr among the scorers. so they're still top, one point ahead of arsenal, who beat everton 3—nil. the government is to establish an independent regulator in football following recommendations made in the fan—led review into the men's game. supporters will have more say in how the game is run, and a new owner's test will be introduced, and the regulator will have the power to sanction clubs in england who break financial and other rules. the review was led by former sports minister tracey crouch, following a series of crises, including the failed european super league and the collapse of bury fc. what must lewis hamilton be thinking this morning as his formula one season goes from bad to worse? he was lapped by max verstappen at the emilia romagna grand prix at imola. verstappen went on to win and is now second in the drivers' championship behind charles leclerc who spun—off in the closing stages. hamilton finished down in 13th. how about this for a win? england beating ireland 69—nil to set up a grand slam decider in the women's six nations with france this saturday. england only scored twice in the first half but the floodgates opened after the break, and they did it in front of a record home crowd of nearly 16,000 fans at welford road . leeds rhinos women made it into the challenge cup final with victory against york city knights. former cricketer turned scrum half courtney winfield—hill scored the match—winning penalty to defeat last year's finallists 28—26. they'll face the defending champions st helens, who dominated their semifinal against featherstone rovers, scoring 17 tries in an 82—nil win. amy hardcastle scored four of those tries. the final is at elland road on the seventh of may. now frustration, anger, bitterness. oldham fans will be feeling the full raft of emotions having watched their side drop out of the football league, becoming the fist team in history to have played in the premier league to fall all the way down the divisions. fans protested on the pitch during the defeat that sealed their fate — we'll be speaking to oldham supporter matt dean in a moment, but firstjoe lynskey on where it's all gone wrong. this was the premier league in 1994. commentator: it is in! and oldham athletic beat chelsea for the second time that season. but, 28 years later, one club are champions of europe. and now the other is in non—league. on saturday, oldham were relegated from league 2 with the fans on the pitch, angry at how the club is run. but it wasn't always like this. oldham spent three years in the top flight and were premier league founder members. the lancashire town prepared to take on the neighbours. back in the early �*90s, oldham had a great team. but it also coincided with the whole manchester scene. you had the in spiral carpets, who were from oldham. so anyone of that era will remember oldham as being part of that great time for the area, football—wise, music—wise, culturally. i think at that time we were probably everybody's second favourite football club. the manager then said it was a pinch—me season, and it was. you couldn't believe you were there, but you were there and you had to deal with it. we really held our own i and played some fantastic football. it was magical. we were beating teams, battering teams every week. nobody expected it, and i don't think the club were ready for it, and i think that is why we ended up only staying up there for a short while and then tumbling down. when oldham dropped out the top flight, they kept sinking. three more relegations have followed. now they are the first team to go from premier league to non—league, and football is full of what ifs. we're joined now by matt dean. how are you feeling? i am all right. yesterday was tough. it sank in on sunday, after the saturday when i was distracted. i was at lunch with a friend and not in the mood to socialise. football does that. it socialise. football does that. it does. it has been tough. can you say where it has gone wrong?— where it has gone wrong? there is a lea , where it has gone

about what is happening at united but they are on a different planet. we will never turn over £1 billion. and what those players and could keep our club going 50 years. there has to be a change in the dynamic. at oldham, fans have to take responsibility and fundraisers. if you are invested in oldham, invest in oldham athletic, which is what we will try to achieve. the honourable thing for them to do is to turn around and say we will not get the money we want for the club, we invested badly. if you buy a car and trash it, you do not get the value you paid. they need to accept that and say this is your club. you want to take responsibility. we do not, there you 90, responsibility. we do not, there you go, get on with it and we will deal with it. it go, get on with it and we will deal with

main story. emmanuel macron has vowed to unite france and be a "president for all" after being re—elected as the country's leader. he secured a convincing victory over his far—right rival, marine le pen, to become the first french president in 20 years to win a second term in office. our correspondentjessica parker sent us this report from paris, where crowds of supporters had gathered to celebrate. cheering. enjoying his moment. the centrist, pro—eu emmanuel macron. the first sitting french president to win re—election for 20 years. translation: my friends, we will need to be kind i and respectful because our country harbours many doubts and divisions. so we will need to be strong. but nobody will be left by the wayside. his campaign pledged further economic reform but critics accuse him of being aloof, elitist. he promised to be a president for all. supporters celebrated but some also acknowledged change is needed. macron will listen more to different ideas in the country. we stood up against marine le pen, we stood up against nationalism. we tried to show that today we have to be united more than ever. a grand setting for the victory rally. supporters here cheering their man. the margin of victory may be smaller than last time, but here they will still see this reelection as a huge personal achievement for emmanuel macron. for far right candidate marine le pen, another defeat. but her platform of curbing immigration and countering rising prices won her party a record number of votes. with parliamentary elections approaching she vowed to fight on. translation: to avoid this hoarding of power by the elites, _ more than ever, i will carry on with my commitment to france and the french people with energy, perseverance and affection. france opted for the familiar, but elections can help reveal a country's divides. now the challenge of trying to heal them. jessica parker, bbc news in paris. two of america's top diplomats have been in kyiv for talks with the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, and defence secretary lloyd austin, visited the capital yesterday and said american diplomatic staff who left before the russian invasion would be returning to ukraine this week. our security correspondent frank gardnerjoins us now. always great to talk to you, thank you for being with us today. lots to get through, let's start with the significance of this visit by antony blinken. it feels like an important one. it blinken. it feels like an important one. . ., , blinken. it feels like an

of a lot of western leaders, european leaders including borisjohnson, but particularly the... these two american figures are the most senior us official to visit ukraine since the invasion and it is definite significant. it's not only showing support diplomatic and financial for ukraine, but also i think a measure of the fact that almost the normality of life in kyiv, the capital, which is no longer surrounded by russian heavy armour. they have withdrawn to move further east to the donbas. what ukraine wants and what it is asking for from them is more heavy weapons, immediately, so that they can repel the russian advance in the donbas where they face critical battles in the week to come. what we have seen so far in the donbas is really only just preliminary probing attacks by the russians, some of which have been successful, some have been repulsed. now we are getting a much clearer picture on what russia's intentions are in ukraine. it looks like they want to take the donbas, no surprises there. but they also appear keen to link up further south and possibly put pressure on odesa in the west so that they would control the entire southern edge of ukraine, bordering the black sea. [30 ukraine, bordering the black sea. do you feel... we are seeing pictures of donbas now. do you feel that russia hold a stronger advantage of the last time we spoke?— the last time we spoke? definitely, this hase the last time we spoke? definitely, this phase two _ the last time we spoke? definitely, this phase two as _ the last time we spoke? definitely, this phase two as some _ the last time we spoke? definitely, this phase two as some people i the last time we spoke? definitely, this phase two as some people are| this phase two as some people are calling it is very different from phase one which was frankly disastrous for the russians. they bit off far more than they could chew, they attacked ukraine on three fronts, they had no coordination, no one person in charge. that has all changed, they appear to have learned some lessons. it doesn't mean they are necessarily going to be successful in the donbas but they have got a lot of things going in their favour. have got a lot of things going in theirfavour. it's much closer to russia's borders so it is easier to resupply and hard of ukrainian forces to resupply themselves. they are using a lot of artillery and eventually they will use tanks to probably better effect because it is flatter and more open country which favours thanks, amma. and also heavy artillery that they can pound ukrainian positions. —— it favours tanks and armour. there are a lot of wooded areas around kyiv. let's look at it this way. three ways that this war could go. ukraine wins, russian wins, nobody wins. and right now, a kind of stalemate, a long drawn—out war of attrition is looking like the most probable outcome at the moment where it drags on with neither one side particularly getting advantage. this isn't going to work through the country because russia is in a hurry to complete this notjust because they have got victory day coming down the line on may nine, and putin will want to be able to show he achieved something. but also they are suffering under sanctions and they want to get this completed. to say this bit of ukraine is controlled by us, it's a done deal, live with it. the ukrainians are in a hurry because they want the russians out of the country but it's perfectly possible that this could go on for months or even years, in which case probably the rest of the world will move on and lose interest and a lot of people will lose interest in this war. [30 and a lot of people will lose interest in this war.- and a lot of people will lose interest in this war. do you think, talkin: interest in this war. do you think, talking about _ interest in this

the ukrainians and the rest of nato would accept that is open to question. i think it could quite possibly split the western anti—putin alliance because there will be some countries, for example those who are heavily dependent on russian fuel, energy, they will be saying, well, you know, a lot of people in that part of ukraine were russian speaking anyhow, maybe we should let them get on with it and leave them alone, it's a long way from western europe. others will say, putin cannot be allowed to get away with this. if he is allowed to nibble off a little bit of ukraine, where will he stop? will it be estonia next, latvia, lithuania? he has got to be stopped and shown that this invasion is a failure. but i think it will be very difficult to push russia out of crimea for example, which was annexed illegally in 2014. i think what president putin will be looking to do is to establish facts on the ground and say, our forces are to do is to establish facts on the ground and say,

to that. and i'm told they both messaged in the inimitable style of the individuals. it has shone a light on claims, allegations, feeling that lots of female mps have that westminster is quite a

chilly start. three in birmingham and mid wales and six in aberdeen, wrap up warmly. we have extensive cloud across parts of scotland and north—east england producing one or two showers, as we go through the day we will hang on to a few of those showers. further west, we can see it is brightening up. it will brighten across the south—east as well later in the day. northern ireland off to a fine start, a bit of cloud around but a fine start across north—west england, parts of wales in the south—west. in the midlands and eastern england and the south—east, we will have a bit more in the way of cloud. through the day the cloud will be thick enough here and therefore the odd shower. moving from the east towards the west, cooler along the north sea coastline with the onshore breeze and breezy across the south—east and east anglia. top temperatures in the shelter in the west, 16 or 17. we will have a return to mod cloud tonight across scotland and north—west england, it will be another cool night. patchy frost in some sheltered areas. that is how we start tomorrow, again with a lot of sunshine around. the cloud that we have in scotland and north—east england still producing some patchy light rain and drizzle. that will be drifting southwards and westwards as we go through the day. still cool around the north sea coastline, but again that little bit milder in the south and west. thank you, see you soon. we're joined now by our paris correspondent lucy williamson — let's talk about the election of emmanuel macron to president again. a famous site in the background behind you, i would imagine there were a lot of celebrations tonight after what would have been a tense weekend? , ., �* , weekend? yes, that's right, the olls at weekend? yes, that's right, the polls at one _ weekend? yes, that's right, the polls at one point _ weekend? yes, that's right, the polls at one point in _ weekend? yes, that's right, the polls at one point in this - weekend? yes, that's right, the | polls at one point in this election were very close indeed. you could see the nervousness in mr macron plasma campaign and he himself as he started to row back on one of those campaign promises to bring in the vote. it seems to have worked and france this morning is waking up to five more years of continuity. if marine le pen had won, they would be looking at pretty radical changes in many areas of life. having a look through the papers this morning, one of the headlines in le monde was saying, it was a victory without triumph for emmanuel macron because his far right rival did get more than 40% of the vote, more than she has ever got and more than her party has ever got and more than her party has ever got before. you saw that in mr macron's speech last night, it was a little bit more humble, he chose to walk out with a group of children alongside him. he spoke about doubt and division in the country and recognise that a lot of people who voted for him had not really voted for him at all but had voted simply to block marine le pen. that is the interesting thing, there is clearly support away from macron's centrist party, whether it is from the right with marine le pen or the left, and when he talks about trying to unite france over the next few years it gives you an idea that the job is few years it gives you an idea that thejob is much bigger than it was five years ago. the job is much bigger than it was five years ago-— five years ago. that's right, five ears five years ago. that's right, five years ago. _ five years ago. that's right, five years

people. after five years face. he could be everything to all people. afterfive years in power, a lot of it is in the left have become very disillusioned. they were seen as the kingmakers in this election so both sides were trying to appeal to voters on the far left. i marine le pen has switched her policy in the last years to focus more on socio economic issues and emmanuel macron was really trying to push his defence of democracy and his defence of rights here. the challenge ahead of rights here. the challenge ahead of him now is trying to unite france which has been asked to choose between very different programmes and visions of the world, these are not subtle policy differences between ms le pen and mr macron. now they have got a president saying, you have got to unite behind me. he found that hard last time he was elected. it will be even harder this time. ., ~' ,, , elected. it will be even harder this time. ., ~' , . elected. it will be even harder this time. . ,, , . _

for type one diabetes. here's one family's story of living with the condition. the twins were diagnosed at the age of two and a half and three, they are now 13. so, yeah, we have been living with type one for over ten years. life changed dramatically overnight. you suddenly have to become nurse, doctor, dietician, specialist nutritionist, you have got to learn to inject them, you have got to learn to test their blood. so from the moment you wake up or the moment they wake up, you have got to think about when your insulin is going in, what you are going to have for breakfast. you have to weigh out the breakfast. making sure they put their insulin in 20 minutes before they eat. is their bag packed for school with all their right snacks, because they need to keep snacking throughout the day. they need to have treatment if they are going to have hypos, which is low blood sugar so they have got to make sure they have got the treatment with them in their bags. when they are at school, they have got to do all of that decision themselves. i don't really know life before having diabetes because i was really young. but it's much harder. you have to think about a lot more and do a lot more. but you still have the same opportunities. iwe both play, like, county hockeyl so it can sometimes do three hours of hockey in one day. so we have to make sure| we have got like dextrose and stuff if we're low. but it's not too hard to manage. a cure would be unbelievable for families of type one because life would go back to normal and they would now know what life without type one would be and they could run out of the house and not think about it, eat whatever they wanted. it would be absolutely amazing. we're joined now by steve morgan, whose foundation is donating £50 million to research, his wife sally, and step—son hugo who has type one diabetes, as well as lucy chambers from diabetes uk. smiling because that is an awful lot of money. it smiling because that is an awful lot

using insulin which is a drug which was discovered a hundred years ago. it's a ioo—year—old technology and i thought, this is crazy. you see advancesin thought, this is crazy. you see advances in cancer and all sorts of other things. and the more we got into it, we realised that the big problem is lack of funding. and we had a relationship with jay brf, for several years, and we have suspended several years, and we have suspended several million pounds worth of research but it is always short term. that's because of the funding, it never really gets going. we said, we have got to do something about this, and try to advance a cure. so we have put £50 million in overfive years and hopefully we will make some advances.— years and hopefully we will make some advances. that is a

attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin which we needed to stay alive. so this generous and incredible gift to type one diabetes research will allow us to develop new ways to replace the cells which have been attacked and destroyed and reprogram the immune system so it no longer attacks these cells. in the meantime we need better insulin, smarter insulin, faster, and together all of these new treatments will hopefully combine together and eventually lead to a cure. it will mean that people with type one lead better lives, they don't have the relentless day today management of the condition, the chance of getting long—term convocations would be reduced. a game changing moment for the 300,000 people in the uk with type one diabetes. this the 300,000 people in

will probably know this, pressure is growing on allotment owners because so many people are after one. the waiting lists are growing, and they were talking about names this morning, we don't have any of that but our knick—knacks consists of things like this little b. people completely make these allotments their own and you can see why the waiting lists are growing. over the pandemic we got into touch with nature a bit more and began to appreciate the impact on our mental health. you get down here and honest to goodness, just plucking and spelling that beautiful bit of lavender, reconnecting with the outdoors. we are less than the mile from derby city centre, an industrial city. to have the space is important. dee, who runs this spot, she eats food from the land spot, she eats food from the [and every day. less waste, saving money and the produce she doesn't use, she puts back into the community. that's another reason why more and more people are after allotment spaces because as we all know, prices are growing. there is a warning to allotment owners, use it or lose it. you are supposed to use three quarters of the space or it can be taken away from you. we will have more details on why allotment spaces are so important and why there is so much pressure on allotment owners to ease the space. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, welcome to bbc london. i'm frankie mccamley. tributes are being paid to a londoner who died a year ago after diving into the river thames to rescue a stranger. the man known asjimi by his friends was described as a hero afterjumping into the river at london bridge. a year on, his friends and family are campaigning for a plaque to remember the aspiring musician whose music was played this morning on bbc! xtra. this track was unfinished byjimi and then i thought to myself, why not get talented artists i know in south london who can rap and tell a story. so i had both psychs and c4 on the track. and they are... they made that track look sound. beautiful to listen to. so it is a positive outcome we are getting right now for the song itself, so i'm happy. the mental health of those working in london's hospitality industry is said to be worse than at the height of the pandemic. it is partly due to the high number of vacancies in the sector putting pressure on existing staff. westminster council says it has created £1 million scheme to help fill vacant positions in the west end. a couple who have been travelling to see each other by train for the past seven years are on track for the next stage in their relationship. londoner nirmal chohan first met vidya patel back in 2014. they usually meet at euston station. on their last reunion, this happened. after the shock wore off, she said yes. this is how tfl services are looking right now... a few delays and closures. so check before you travel. onto the weather now. it is a chilly start and the trend this week is for things to get rather fresh. you can see the blue area, cold air starting to sink south. this morning, some bright and sunny spells, but cloud building. showers blowing through on that still moderate to fresh north—easterly breeze. still some sunny spells this afternoon. temperatures reaching 15—16c. feeling a little fresher. overnight tonight, remaining showers will clear. the sky clears and the wind will drop, so we could see some mistiness by dawn tomorrow. the minimum temperature between i—4c. you can see high pressure starts to slip further south. the wind will be a little bit lighter through the course of tuesday. we will see more sunshine. still some cloud moving in through the afternoon. that could produce one or two showers. many places dry tomorrow. temperatures up to around 15 celsius. night—time temperatures are going to be pretty chilly. outside of central london, you might see a frost. and we still have no significant rain in the forecast. i'll be back in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. labour has pledged to replace the so—called non—dom taxpayer status in the uk, branding it unfair. it comes after a row over the finances of chancellor rishi sunak�*s wife. let's talk more about this with the shadow chancellor rachel reeves. you are pledging to abolish the nom—dom system, how much will it take away from the treasury? it is take away from the treasury? it is that if you — take away from the treasury? it is that if you make _ take away from the treasury? it 3 that if you make the uk your home you should pay your taxes here and by abolishing the nom—dom status thatis by abolishing the nom—dom status that is what we would achieve. there are estimates about how much it would bring in, some say £1 billion. over the weekend, a senior tax lawyer said at the very least it would bring in hundreds of millions of pounds. at a time when ordinary working people and businesses who employ them are seeing taxes, especially national insurance, go up, it is right we close loopholes that mean a privileged few can get out of paying their fair share of tax. �* . . ~ out of paying their fair share of tax. �*, . ,, . out of paying

is the scale of the situation, how many nom—doms are? 75,000 people in the uk are registered for nom—dom status for tax purposes. 1900 have been in the uk more than seven years. therefore they are paying a fee of £30,000 or more to get out paying tax on global income. there are a substantial number of people which is why the estimates say it will bring in at least hundreds of millions, perhaps more, every year. it is an issue of raising that money to ensure we have money for public services, but also helping to keep taxes low for working people and business. it is an issue of fairness. it is not right you can pay a fee and therefore avoid paying taxes on your global income. that is not available to the vast majority in the uk who pay their fair share of taxes, which is why we say we would abolish this status. . ,., . , . , status. the labour party has benefited — status. the labour party has benefited in _ status. the labour party has benefited in years _ status. the labour party

status. should the party have refused those donations? it is not about individuals but the system and whether it works. nom—dom status was introduced more than 200 years ago. it is outdated, unjustifiable, unfair. but it is not about individuals. the system is as it is. we would reform it so the privileged status is no longer available to people who make britain their home. you available

this in effect, for people genuinely living in the uk for short periods. how will that work? in a modern system, similar to what many other countries have. if you look at canada and germany, you can live there six months without paying full tax on global income. injapan it is five years. we would consult with business to ensure the temporary scheme works for them but it would be temporary. at the moment you can live in the uk up to 15 years and not pay your taxes. we would consult on a temporary short—term scheme for people genuinely in the uk for short periods for work for example. but if you make britain your home, you should pay your taxes here. you have called for an — should pay your taxes here. you have called for an emergency _ should pay your taxes here. you have called for an emergency budget - should pay your taxes here. you have called for an emergency budget and l called for an emergency budget and looking at the proposals, a lot of them are things we have spoken about. a windfall tax on energy companies to solve the cost of living crisis. nothing seems particularly new. why are you calling for an emergency budget now? it would be new and ground—breaking if it was introduced. the chancellor has an opportunity in march when he introduced his budget but it did not touch the sides in terms of what people need right now. when we face a cost of living crisis. everybody is noticing the rising gas and electricity, petrol prices, the weekly food shop. yet the government did very little to help people with the cost of living crisis. so we are saying the chancellor should have another go. we have suggested policies such as scrapping the national insurance contribution increase, a windfall tax on big profits made by north sea oil and gas companies, to take £600 off gas and electricity bills, and starting and electricity bills, and starting a programme of home insulation so we take money off bills for years to come. practical, cost it measures like that would make a difference to people struggling right now. let’s people struggling right now. let's talk about the _ people struggling right now. let's talk about the costed _ people struggling right now. let's talk about the costed measures. scrapping the rise in national insurance. we are told the money from that would be for the health and social care sector. hour from that would be for

that gap? those - and social care sector. how would you plug that gap? those with - and social care sector. how would | you plug that gap? those with the broadest shoulders should make more of a contribution. the announcement today around nom—doms is one way in which you could bring in more money but not going time and again to ordinary working people and asking them to pay more. these loopholes exist in the system. i have pointed out others, the fact that private equity buses are not paying full tax on bonuses and that private schools do not pay vat. and the fact people can be resident in the uk and not pay tax on income. there are ways to close down tax loopholes to ensure everyone pays their fair share, rather than time and again coming to working people and businesses who employ them and asking them to pay more. we saw on friday with retail sales and consumer confidence, the problem with these tax rises on ordinary working people is you are taking money out of the economy at the moment when people are facing a cost of living crisis, and therefore risking the economic recovery we are seeing being weakened. it makes good economic sense as well as good fiscal sense to help people with the cost of living crisis. we are the only advanced country that are increasing taxes on working people during a cost of living crisis and it is a mistake that will hold the country back. i it is a mistake that will hold the country back-— it is a mistake that will hold the country back. i am moving on to a sto i country back. i am moving on to a story i cannot _ country

rubbish that female mps and other women in parliament have to put up with daily. it has to be called out because angela rayner is a fantastic politician. she takes on the prime minister when keir starmer is not available. she does it brilliantly. she does not need to use her sex to win an argument or put off the prime minister or whatever was suggested in that article. she does it by strength of argument and to suggest otherwise is disgusting. it does not do justice to the brilliant women in parliament today from all sides. share to the brilliant women in parliament today from all sides.—

having a new baby and having a big job. no one says that about male mps, that they cannot be senior politicians have children. it is the sort of rubbish female mps and others working in parliament have to put up with, this focus on what people look like rather than the strength of their argument. i hope some good can come out of this awful article in the mail on sunday and thatis article in the mail on sunday and that is that people see what it is like in parliament and people call out this misogyny and sexism for what it is and we get change. angela, no other mp, should have to put up with this rubbish. at the moment it happens daily in parliament and i say that with sadness from somebody who is proud to be an mp and woman in parliament, the first female mp in my constituency, really proud of that, but also no more is needed to change the culture of politics. taste but also no more is needed to change the culture of politics.— the culture of politics. we saw yesterday _ the

dismissed these comments about angela rayner. but what boris johnson and oliver dowden and others need to understand is this is endemic, it is notjust one or two mps, it happens all the time. they

people including mps who think this sort of briefing and story is acceptable. there should be no place for it in 21st—century britain and yet too many people including too many elected members of parliament think it acceptable. it is not and it has to be called out.— the post office scandal was a huge miscarriage ofjustice, which left many branch managers wrongly prosecuted, financially ruined and outcast from their communities. martin griffiths, who was falsely accused of stealing when he worked as a sub—postmaster, took his own life and never saw his conviction overturned last year. his widow has spoken publicly for the first time. coletta smith reports. mart and i married in 1982. we had two children. we decided to look into buying a post office and hope farm road came on the market and we decided to go for it. for 14 happy years, martin ran this cheshire branch of the post office, while gina ran the shop side of the business. but in 2009, everything changed. then, all of a sudden, money started going missing. we had to pay the money back in order to carry on trading, otherwise, they would have closed us down. the money was shown to be missing from the branch by the computerised tills system called horizon. it had been rolled out to post offices across the uk from the year 2000. what gina and martin didn't know is there were bugs and errors in it from the start, and horizon wasn't always accurate. if you had holes in your accounts, the post office would say they are your responsibility, you have to make them good because that's our money. and if you can't explain, demonstrate you know how and where this money has gone, it's on you. overfouryears, £60,000 of mystery losses racked up. and the post office held martin responsible. this was an experienced businessman. he had built a good life at the post office. and now he was being told that something he was doing was wrong. and he was sliding towards fragility and ruin. they hounded him. they persecuted him. there didn't seem to be any end to it, at the time. and then they told him they wanted to terminate his position as sub—postmaster. and they gave him three months. you know, martin hit rock bottom. in september 2013, on his way to work, martin tried to take his own life and was rushed to hospital. he was put on a life—support machine. i think he had been planning it, i really do. he was a proud man. i think he thought he was letting us all down. his children, his parents, and me. they turned the machine off, i think, in the morning. and the worst... the worst thing for me was seeing my children... have to see their dad die. martin was facing financial ruin. gina is in no doubt as to whom she blames. and it was, surely, down to the post office. nobody else. so i blame them. the post office says it is sincerely sorry for the impact of the horizon scandal on the lives of victims and theirfamilies, and it says it has made fundamental reforms to its operations and culture. two years after martin's death, gina accepted a financial settlement from the post office, but had to agree she wouldn't discuss it. now the facts about horizon that martin didn't live to hear are being uncovered and a public inquiry is under way. coletta smith, bbc news. for more about this story, you can watch panorama: the post office scandal. it's on bbc one at 8pm tonight. it isa it is a story we have done a lot on. here's carol. good morning. for many, starting on a dry note. and for sam, a sunny one as you can see in shropshire but there is cloud around and that will be the forecast for the next days. cloudy, cooler than the weekend, but mainly dry. there a few showers around but no significant rain and by the time we get to the weekend, we might see low pressure and that means we could see some rain but still a lot to play for. today high pressure is in charge. not much of a breeze except in the south—east and east anglia but what we have is coming across a cool north sea and sew along the north sea coastline it is still going to feel colder. more cloud across scotland and north—east england with showers. through the day, more cloud bubbles up. that means some will see showers. in between, some sunshine. the highest temperatures across parts of the south—west. where, after a sunny start, you will see more cloud. cooler along the north sea coastline and if you have an allergy to tree pollen, today levels are high in wales and the south—west. this evening and overnight a return to cloud in scotland and north—east england. thick enough for light rain. elsewhere, in ruralareas, cool enough for frost. these are the temperatures. a colder start tomorrow. but for many, dry and sunny. in scotland and north—east england we have cloud and light rain and through the day it will extend further south and west. it is in the shelter in the west we are likely to see the highest temperatures. still feeling cool along the north sea coast. moving into the middle of the week, wednesday into thursday, high—pressure starts to slip southwards but not particularly making much difference to the weather. still cloudy at times. still some sunshine around. and a noticeable breeze. a north easterly through the english channel and adjacent to it. temperatures down to touch and feeling cool along the north sea coast. heading into thursday, it is spot the difference. still a lot of dry weather, still cloudy. some showers in the north of scotland and still breezy along the english channel coastline. temperatures up to 16. you know we were talking about your gnome. we are talking about gnomes. because people like knick—knacks and ornaments. they are saying there is a reduction in gnome love. and on the sofa there is not a huge amount of love. yours is called charlie.

over—65s are increasingly going for the modern look. well, here's one who isn't. mavis till from prestatyn in north wales gave us a quick tour of her trinkets. a lot of things on here belong to my mum. and i wouldn't part with them because every time i look at them, i think of my mum. these little ornaments here, the spaniel dog, he's got a broken leg, but you don't notice it. this little dog at the back, the children with the geese, when the grandchildren were little, they always bought me things. and you can't part with little things like that, because it's so cute. it doesn't cost many pennies. a little stone. "you are my sunshine." from another granddaughter. you don't part with things like that. that is what my mum made at an art class. it's a bit weird, but... beautiful. mavis, they are amazing. what a collection. and sentimental things. i do keep sentimental things. 0k, i do keep sentimental things. ok, not completely heartless?

yeah, absolutely. _ significant meeting? yeah, absolutely. the _ significant meeting? yeah, absolutely. the americans | significant meeting? yeah, - absolutely. the americans have significant meeting?

"please take them to charity," he says. "i have no need for them now". caroline davies, bbc news, odesa. the prime minister has been in contact with labour's deputy leader, angela rayner, to condemn an article written about her in the mail on sunday, calling it 'misogynistic�*. the paper claimed some unnamed conservative mps said she tried to distract borisjohnson in the commons by crossing and uncrossing her legs. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. this seems like, i can't believe we are even talking about this, but outrage in westminster? yes. are even talking about this, but outrage in

by people from all little parties, the conservative party chairman oliver dowden was on the tv saying it was ludicrous —— is condemned by all political parties. the prime minister sent a tweet saying it was misogyny and he backed it up with a private text message to angela rayner which she replied to. i'm told that both those messages were in those individuals' inimitable style. it has sparked a bigger conversation about sexism at westminster and this morning angela rayner�*s connie, the shadow chancellor mabel chancellor —— rayner�*s connie, the shadow chancellor —— mecca rachel reeves you

an investigation into finding out who the person was who made these comments, not because they are not outraged by them but just because they feel that these sorts of inquiries never identify the person and also when it comes to journalists revealing their sources, that's just not something that is done. so it's unlikely that person would be found. it would be intriguing to find out where this

scotland and north—east england thick enough for some patchy rain and drizzle, and under clear skies some sheltered areas will see some frost. we will see some sunshine to start tomorrow in some places, but patchy cloud in some other places and some that cloud will drift south and west. still cold along the north sea coastline, high temperatures towards the south—west. thank you. last november, the government promised £50 million over five years to help find a cure for motor neurone disease but campaigners say not a single penny has yet been awarded. now 12 leading scientists have written to the care minister, gillian keegan, calling for urgent action to free up funding, as megan paterson reports. rob burrow, mbe. a campaigning force who, along with friends doddie weir and stephen darby, has helped the nation talk about motor neurone disease. mr robert burrow, for services to rugby and to motor neurone disease awareness during covid—19. it is a disease that has taken rob's voice and his mobility, but it can't dim his passion to help others survive it. in september last year, rob, as part of the united to end mnd coalition, went to downing street asking the government for a £50 million investment in mnd research. we are now on the brink of a meaningful treatment, so we needed to get funds to help prolong life and laterfind a cure. two months later, the government announced it would invest at least £50 million over five years into research in a bid to find a cure — a source of hope for campaigners like rob. with the government pledging £50 million for research to find a positive treatment and possible cure means all sufferers have hope in the future and the hope of living a longer life expectancy. i feel on top of the world. it is like playing great in a game, knowing someone is listening to us. the hard work starts now for our amazing scientists to find an effective treatment. but, since then, how much of the £50 million has been awarded? according to campaigners, none at all. attempts to access the funding have been unsuccessful. scientists told individual research applications must be made, and the funding pot isn't ring—fenced for motor neurone disease. we submitted a proposal to the government spending review back in the autumn last year and it laid out a plan that would bring together a broad range of knowledge and expertise across the whole mnd research community in the uk. it involves 22 research centres across five universities. and in terms of timing, we knew that significant new money would have to wait until the new financial year in april, but we are now well into april and we did expect to be further ahead, with much more clarity on how the government funding will be accessed. in a letter to the minister for care, gillian keegan, 12 leading mnd scientists say efficient, responsive and rapid access to the assured funds is crucial to understanding and treating mnd. the prime minister and the health secretary promised £50 million specifically for that purpose. this led to new hope for people living with the disease, hope that is now being undermined. no money has been received by researchers as of yet, and i am told that funds may not even be reserved for mnd. red tape and bureaucracy are also making the application process difficult and will make it harder to set up amazing new ways of potentially discovering new treatments and securing new investment. people with mnd are potentially being betrayed and do not have time to wait. a spokesperson for the department of health and social care told us... the united to end mnd coalition will meet with the care minister this week. campaigners keen access to funding and the hope it brings will follow soon after. we're joined now by nicola walters, who has mnd, and professor chris mcdermott, a consultant neurologist who also signed the letter to the care minister. good morning to you both. nicola, you have been living with mnd for around three years now, how has your life changed in that time? i around three years now, how has your life changed in that time?— life changed in that time? i think, ou life changed in that time? i

difficult. my children said to me a few days ago, they can't remember a time when i could ever run around with them. i'm in the situation where instead of me helping them to do things, they are helping me get out of bed in the morning, helping me put my coat on, helping me get into the car. and, you know, for anyone living with mnd, it is the fear of what's to come. and having my children having to watch me go through that, it is just a horrifying prospect. through that, it isjust a horrifying prospect. nicola, how concerned _ horrifying prospect. nicola, how concerned are _ horrifying

community, really, it is incredibly frustrating. as you know, people with mnd really have nothing, no matter how soon we are diagnosed, there are really no treatments for us. so last november, it was a real moment of hope for the community. when we met with sajid javid and gillian keegan, we felt they really listened to us and i hope they would listened to us and i hope they would listen there when we say to them that the proposal is that you are considering just will not work. they will not allow these amazing researchers to come together and find the key is that we so desperately need it so please do rethink the way that you are approaching this, and just let these scientists do their work. professor, let's bring you in. we have been i let's bring you in. we have been speaking about £50 million to go into research for type one diabetes this morning and talking to someone who has diabetes and someone who works with those who have the condition as well, talking about how much

frankie mccamley. tributes are being paid to a londoner who died a year ago after diving into the river thames to rescue a stranger. the man known asjimi by his friends was described as a hero afterjumping into the river at london bridge. a year on, his friends and family are campaigning for a plaque to remember the aspiring musician whose music was played this morning on bbci xtra. this track was unfinished byjimi and then i thought to myself, why not get talented artists that i know in south london who can rap and tell a story. so i had both psychs and ca on the track. and they are... they made that track look sound. beautiful to listen to. so it is a positive outcome we are getting right now for the song itself, so i'm happy. wildlife experts are assessing the damage after two large fires in surrey at the weekend. around six square miles of vegetation and scrubland caught alight at henley park ranges near pirbright. fire crews remain on site damping down. a couple who have been travelling to see each other by train for the past seven years are on track for the next stage in their relationship. londoner nirmal chohan first met vidya patel back in 2014. they usually meet at euston station. on their last reunion, this happened. after the shock wore off, she said yes. this is how tfl services are looking right now... a few delays and closures. onto the weather now. good morning. it is a chilly start and the trend this week is for things to get rather fresh. you can see the blue area, cold air starting to sink south. this morning, some bright and sunny spells, but cloud building. showers blowing through on that still moderate to fresh north—easterly breeze. still some sunny spells this afternoon. temperatures reaching 15—i6c. feeling a little fresher. overnight tonight, remaining showers will clear. the sky clears and the wind will drop, so we could see some mistiness by dawn tomorrow. the minimum temperature between i—ac. you can see high pressure starts to slip further south. the wind will be a little bit lighter through the course of tuesday. we will see more sunshine. still some cloud moving in through the afternoon. that could produce one or two showers. many places dry tomorrow. temperatures up to around 15 celsius. night—time temperatures are going to be pretty chilly. outside of central london, you might see a frost. and we still have no significant rain in the forecast. i'll be back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. this weekend marked one year since a young man died afterjumping into the river thames to rescue a woman. folajimi olubunmi—adewole, known asjimi to friends, was just 20. jimi's big passion was his music, and this morning — in his memory — one of his songs will be played on bbc radio for the first time. graham satchell reports. jimi adewole. he lost his life a year ago trying to rescue someone who had jumped into the river thames. music was always jimi's first love. in a studio in south london, a group ofjimi's friends have been working on a series of tracksjimi had started recording. # only go through if i've got brothers with me i can trust. my bro had talent kind of thing, you know what i mean? when i heard his music was like, wow, like, you know? could have actually done something. # i'm still the same guy i was. # no amount of money is changing me, blatantly. i feel like music, it hits harder when the person is not here any more but the lyrics are so deep. he is a hero, so, yeah, man, it is only right that we do right by him. london bridge. jimi had just left work with his best friend bernard when they heard shouting from the river thames. it was pitch black. it was one in the morning. couldn't see anything. i remembered me andjimi looking around on both sides of the river, just trying to understand, where is she at. we could hear the noise of someone shouting. i rememberjimi going straight at it. he was like, "bro, we have to find her." he was determined to save her, that woman, that night. jimi and another manjumped in. the woman was eventually rescued, butjimi didn't make it. he was like my little brother. my big little brother. because he was much taller than me. but itjust shows that not everyone who you see is bad. not everyone you look at has ill intentions. jimi just had a pure intention, pure mind, pure heart. it's hard. i shared good moments with him. memories that i cherish for the rest of my life. just... he's an amazing person. you miss him? yeah, a lot, a lot, a lot. bernard and music producer a0 on radio i xtra. this is to commemorate his anniversary, right? jimi's track is being played on national radio for the first time this morning. right, boys, you can be radio hosts now. you can introduce the song. this isjstizzi67, featuring psychs and c4. i'll let you know. # i'll let you know. # bridges got burned, i let her go. # heart felt pain, let it show. # money down, i choose to make it roll. _ # if you're my lover then you just let her go. - it's nice. it's a very nice feeling. because it still feels like he's there. he might not be there physically, but i know he is here spiritually. # i'm really from the hood, i'm really from the ghetto. i # built like lego... and people just admiring him, just taking him in for a moment. let him tell his story. that will be nice to tell my kids the story. that is one of my dreams right now is to be able to tell my kids, that's your uncle right there. yeah. there have been a number of tributes tojimi since he died a year ago, but his friends say releasing his music is a legacy that will last for ever. that report was from graham satchell. an incredible young man. and great friends, as well. an incredible young man. and great friends, as well. good an incredible young man. and great friends, as well. good to an incredible young man. and great friends, as well. good to see an incredible young man. and great friends, as well. good to see them carrying on his legacy. some other this morning. european leaders have been congratulating emmanual macron on his re—election as french president. but in his victory speech he acknowledged that anger and disagreements had led many people to vote for the far—right candidate marine le pen. we'rejoined now from paris by our europe editor katya adler. good morning. a —— and i suppose to put some context around this. it seems clear from what emmanuel macron said since the victory he knows there is a huge job on macron said since the victory he knows there is a hugejob on now. there is a hugejob on at home knows there is a hugejob on now. there is a huge job on at home and a hugejob on abroad. first there is a huge job on at home and a huge job on abroad. first at home, that was something emmanuel macron addressed immediately in his victory speech in front of the eiffel tower last night. he admitted that even out of the almost 60% of voters who gave him their confidence on paper, many were voting against the far right candidate rather than for him. you add on the 40% of the vote that went to her and add on those people who spoilt their ballot and those who spoilt their ballot and those who said they did not want to vote at all, it means a large part of this country did not vote for —— emmanuel macron. that was a different emmanuel macron last night. he admitted he needed to get to work immediately to unite the country. abroad, they have the ukraine crisis. france is no ordinary eu member, it is a founding member of the european union and the second largest economy in the eu and has the biggest single military power in the eu and now uk has left. it is a big player in nato. his rival in the election marine le pen has traditionally close ties to moscow and wanted to take france out of natomilitary command. that had allies worried in europe and in the us so they are relieved emmanuel macron is on board. and tweets coming in from european leaders reference that. that they have five more years to work together. at home and abroad he has a lot to do. what and abroad he has a lot to do. what now for marine _ and abroad he has a lot to do. what now for marine le _ and abroad he has a lot to do. what now for marine le pen. _ and abroad he has a lot to do. what now for marine le pen. the - and abroad he has a lot to do. what now for marine le pen. the vote increased but she lost again. third time unlucky _ increased but she lost again. third time unlucky for _ increased but she lost again. third time unlucky for marine _ increased but she lost again. third time unlucky for marine le - increased but she lost again. “in c time unlucky for marine le pen. she has tried three times to be president and before the election she let it be known if she lost, she would step down from politics or at least the leadership of her party. but that was not the mood she was in last night. i was at her headquarters when the result came out. the original results that are so reliable in france. she said it was a victory because yes it was the best result ever. 40% of voters giving their vote to for her. she said she is not backing down and they will keep fighting. there are parliamentary elections next month and even though the presidential election grabbed more headlines, the parliamentary election is important because if emmanuel macron does not get a comfortable majority in parliament then all the promises he throughout yesterday to work for the environment schools and hospitals, his hands will be tight. marine le pen said she is on the political war path ahead of the elections, and so is the far left who are a big power in france as well. again, he has a lot to do at home. marine le pen said she will be busy and it seems she is planning to stand for president again in five years. as we know, five years, it is a long time. i would not predict that far ahead. what about things closer to home from our perspective? a world leader congratulating emmanuel macron was borisjohnson. what does it mean for relations with britain on things like fishing and trade and immigration?— like fishing and trade and immiaration? _, ., , ., like fishing and trade and immiaration? , ., , immigration? good question. boris johnson immigration? good question. boris johnson was _ immigration? good question. boris johnson was quick— immigration? good question. boris johnson was quick to _ immigration? good question. boris johnson was quick to congratulate l johnson was quick to congratulate emmanuel macron. in his tweet he described france as one of the uk's best and closest allies. however, we know relations between the countries have been difficult, at least from a public relations perspective, since brexit. emmanuel macron played the role during brexit negotiations is brexit bad cop if you like, the tough one, and he enjoyed that role. since then there has been sparring between the sides over fishing rights and immigration. people trying to cross the channel to get to the uk from france and accusations in the government france has not always done its best to stop those boats crossing the channel. there will be hoping downing street that now emmanuel macron is comfortably in his seat as president that some of those relations could be eased. in myjob you often hear behind—the—scenes that there is cooperation between them. there is a long—standing military agreement on cooperation between the two. i think the prime minister is right. france is a close ally. that is reflected when you speak to french politicians. but a smooth ride? it will not be... there is definitely bad temper over brexit and the french feel regarding migration over the channel, they are doing their bit and the government has to do a bit and the government has to do a bit more. the government says the other way round. those things will rumble on but relations are not as bad between those countries as they sometimes might seem.— what a great setting. we had technical issues at the end. just about held on. john is here. in wonderful technicolor. talking of big occasions. anfield yesterday, a merseyside derby match with which the two teams could not be further apart with liverpool chasing four trophies and everton fighting with everything they have to stay in the premier league. we always say teams are too big to go down and it always felt like that with everton. good morning. things could not be more different for the red and blue halves of merseyside following yesterday's derby. liverpool winning to move a point behind the league leaders manchester city. how different it might have been had everton got this penalty they went on to lose 2—0. andy robertson and then divock origi with the goals, chasing four trophies, everton now in the relegation zone. burnley are the team they're chasing — they're out of the bottom three after beating wolves i—o, matej vydra with the goal. and there is that fear that drop out of the premier league, is there anyway back? is there any way back? this weekend oldham became the first team in history to play in the premier league to drop out of the football league all together, having been relegated from all four divisions of english football. joe lynskey reports. this was the premier league in 1994. commentator: it's in! and oldham athletic beat chelsea for the second time that season. but, 28 years later, one club are champions of europe. and now the other is in non—league. on saturday, oldham were relegated from league 2, with the fans on the pitch, angry at how the club is run. but it wasn't always like this. oldham spent three years in the top flight and were premier league founder members. the lancashire town prepared to take on the neighbours. back in the early '90s, oldham had a great team. but it also coincided with the whole madchester scene. you had the in spiral carpets, who were from oldham. so anyone of that era will remember oldham as being part of that great time for the area, football—wise, music—wise, culturally. commentator: that has fallen nicely. just on the edge of the area! i think at that time we were probably everybody's second favourite football club. the manager then said it was a pinch—me season, and it was. you couldn't believe you were there, but you were there and you had to deal with it. we really held our own i and played some fantastic football. it was magical. we were beating teams, battering teams every week. nobody expected it, and i don't think the club were ready for it, and i think that is why we ended up only staying up there for a short while and then tumbling down. when oldham dropped out the top flight, they kept sinking. three more relegations have followed. now they are the first team to go from premier league to non—league, and football is full of what ifs. since this club had fallen down the leagues but that year one moment could have changed things. oldham reached the fa cup semifinal. they faced manchester united and led i—o but in the last minute... it is there! united went on to win the tie and then the cup. oldham were deflated. they went back to the league and had seven games left. they did not win one and were relegated from the top flight by three points. relegated from the top flight by three points-— relegated from the top flight by three

days. we spoke to an oldham fan earlier saying they will come back bigger and stronger, despite tumbling out of the divisions. some breaking news in the last few minutes. detectives have arrested a man on suspicion of murder after the deaths of four people in south london. officers were called in the early hours of this morning to an address in southwark and found three women and a man with suspected stab injuries. they were all pronounced dead at the scene. it is thought that all five people were known to each other. that is our breaking news we have just had in the past few minutes. we will bring more information we get before the end of the programme. we are here till 9:15am. here's carol. if you have not yet stepped outside, it is a cold start, particularly if you are exposed in the breeze in east anglia and the south—east but i! east anglia and the south—east but 11 degrees in cornwall with sunshine. as this weather watcher shows. across parts of scotland and north—east england, a lot of cloud. as you can see from this picture. this cloud is thick enough for the odd shower. as we go through the day, more cloud can produce showers pushing from the west to the east. we are looking at an onshore breeze with temperatures getting up to around 15. always cooler along the coastline. through the evening and overnight, showers will fade and we will have more cloud coming in across scotland and north—east england, and thick enough for light rain. a cold night with a touch of frost in some rural areas. tomorrow morning, there will be a lot of sunshine. away from scotland and north—east england where we have the cloud with light rain. some of it will drift south and west through the day. tomorrow we could have an isolated shower but most will miss them. sunny

runs through that. and seeing how the two overcome difficulties from being from different backgrounds and then they come together eventually. love brings them together. but interesting to see how it
