but he fired in a maximum 147 break — only the 12th in crucible history. good morning, a chilly start with frost around. also some fog to watch out for but for many, dry with sunshine, except in parts of scotland and north—east england, where we have some rain. all the details throughout the programme. it's tuesday the 26th of april. the un secretary—general — antonio guterres — will meet the russian president vladimir putin in moscow today, in the hope of brokering a peace deal. his visit comes as russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov, suggested there's a danger of the conflict in ukraine leading to a new world war. andrew plant has the latest. sheltering in a basement as the fighting above them intensifies in the donbas region of eastern ukraine. the un estimates almost 5000 civilians have already died in this conflict, 11 million people have been displaced. now running low on supplies here, this woman venturing out to find food. translation: everybody is scared. now we are even afraid of silence. we never know what will happen next. you never know what will happen next. smoke rising from the steel plant in the besieged port city of mariupol in southern ukraine, where ukrainian forces are now surrounded. with no agreement on a ceasefire here, civilians waiting for a humanitarian corridor that never came. hope for negotiations is now with the united nations. secretary general antonio guterres will meet president putin in moscow later today. we will then travel to kyiv on thursday. in his evening address, ukraine's president zelensky said his country was ready for peace, but that, he said, could only be achieved with every ukrainian defending their freedom. translation: for russia to seek peace, every - ukrainian must still fight. they must defend freedom, because every day of struggle now adds years of peaceful life after this war, after our victory. but hopes of peace may be slim. with russia suggesting there is a danger of the ukraine conflict leading to world war iii. speaking to state media, their foreign minister sergei lavrov accused nato of engaging in a proxy war with russia. as nato continues to pour more weapons into ukraine, the uk will do the same. ambulances and armoured vehicles on their way as this conflict enters its third month. the hope now is the united nations can help secure more humanitarian corridors to allow more civilians to flee the fighting. 0ur correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. the un general secretary is in moscow today and kyiv on thursday, in the hope of brokering a peace deal. what do the people of ukraine think about the realistic prospect of things taking a positive turn in terms of peace? it is things taking a positive turn in terms of peace?— things taking a positive turn in terms of eace? , ., , terms of peace? it is almost numb. if ou terms of peace? it is almost numb. if you look — terms of peace? it is almost numb. if you look at _ terms of peace? it is almost numb. if you look at the _ terms of peace? it is almost numb. if you look at the gap _ terms of peace? it is almost numb. if you look at the gap between - terms of peace? it is almost numb. if you look at the gap between the l if you look at the gap between the two macro sides, what the russians want is to take over a large portion of the territory of this country to essentially subjugate the people living in those areas, or control those areas. ukraine wants the russians off their territory. i do not see any way that the world's most senior diplomat, the un secretary—general, could bring those parties together and find some form of reconciliation between the two. if you want to understand how far things have fallen between the neighbours, look over my shoulder where you can see an arch and below it two monumental statues erected in 82, showing soviet workers to symbolise the peace and friendship between russia and ukraine. in a few hours, those statues will be destroyed. the mayor of kyiv will be there. if you want to understand how bad things are, that event will show it. ., ~ bad things are, that event will show it. . ~ , ., russian forces withdrew from northern ukraine at the beginning of april — but occasional shelling continues in border areas. the village of senkivka was once the site of festivals celebrating friendship between ukraine, russia and belarus. now the town's few remaining residents say they are living in fear, as yogita limaye reports. barely a highway in ukraine that doesn't tell of war. past a bridge destroyed to stop russia's advance, we travelled to the northern edge of the country. senkivka — the last village by the border with russia and belarus. it is still being shelled. most of its residents have left. only a few remain. mina is living with rockets that landed right in her yard when the invasion began. these civilian homes are visible from russia. they can see what they are firing at. "it is scary to live like this, there are just five people left in the village. but i am used to my house. where will i go? i can hear the shelling, i can show you from my yard the russian checkpoint," she said. "i don't know how to go on living. i feel so sad about everything. my heart is growing number. my heart is growing numb. i have run out of tears." 0n the road outside, another rocket. experts who have seen these images say they could have held cluster bombs. both russia and ukraine are accused of using them. this was one of the roads that russian soldiers took when they were entering ukraine from the north on their way to cities like kyiv and chernihiv. the focus of the war at the moment has shifted to the south and the east of the country. but here at the northern edge, we are just about two miles miles from the border, and russian soldiers withdrew from here around three weeks ago, but the feeling very much is it could all change in a matter of minutes. this video from ukraine's border guard shows russian forces rolling into senkivka in february. there was little military resistance to them. for lydia, who is 91, it was the second time in her life seeing tanks at her doorstep. she remembers hiding in trenches during world war ii. but says there was no mass shelling their way there is now. "back in the day, i could run away. now i can't. and i wouldn't leave here for anything in the world. i'll tell you this, there is nothing good about war. we have been friends with russia and belarus for years. people from our countries visited each other, married each other. my late husband was belarusian." from almost everyone we spoke to, we heard about friendships and family is spread across borders that have now been broken. this man's brothers and a sister live in russia. translation: my sister told me it was us who started the war, but we had no such intention. it was russia who invaded us. i want my family to use their heads. to look at the situation independently. nina stopped talking to her brother who lives in belarus. "he says it is america who attacked you and you blame russia. he is just five miles away across the border and he doesn't believe what is really happening. i want to cross him out of my life because of that," she said. after we left the village, there were multiple grenade explosions just outside it. no one was hurt. but the threat is constant. the board of twitter has accepted a takeover offer from the world's richest man, elon musk. he'll pay around £34 billion for control of the social media network — and plans to relax some of the restrictions on what its 300 million users can post. here's our us technology correspondent james clayton. elon musk usually tweets cryptic messages but there was nothing cryptic about his reaction to the news that twitter had accepted his offer. but people here in silicon valley are rubbing their eyes with disbelief. the world's richest man now the owner of one of the most influential social media platforms. twitter isn't the most used social media site in the world but it is hugely influential. world leaders likejoe biden, narendra modi, emmanuel macron, and borisjohnson are all on it. when it comes to news generation, twitter has no comparison. but for years, people, particularly on the right, have said that twitter stifles free speech. donald trump's sensational lifetime ban from the platform is held up as a seminal moment, a sitting president's megaphone removed by big tech. elon musk says he wants to bring back free speech to the platform. mr musk will now have to deal with conspiracy theorists, disinformation campaigns and hate speech. the danger is that twitter without moderation could become poisonous. hi, everyone. joe biden's spokesperson confirmed the president wants more moderation, not less. no matter who owns or runs twitter, the president has long been concerned about the power of large social media platforms, the power they have over our everyday lives. has long argued that tech platforms must be held accountable for the harms they cause. but for now, elon musk is rejoicing. twitter is now his personal plaything. he's the new undisputed king of twitter. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. bars and nightclubs which don't take steps to prevent spiking should lose their licences. that's according to a group of mps that wants more measures to tackle the problem. the home affairs select committee also says more needs to be done to support victims. our home affairs correspondent june kelly has the details. the mps say venues with a bad record for spiking should only have their licences renewed if they can show improvement measures are in place. they believe that spiking should be made a specific criminal offence. and they want better data collection so there is more information about the scale of the problem. last autumn, at the start of the university year, there was a spate of reported spiking incidents where victim said spiking incidents where victims said it wasn't their drink that had been targeted, they had actually been injected with a drug. let's have posters out in bars, in restaurants saying we will absolutely have a zero tolerance to any kind of drugging of people in our premises. the home office says it is looking at making spiking a specific offence. and police chiefs are urging victims to report what has happened to them as soon as possible. police are continuing to question a man in his 20s, on suspicion of murder, after four people were stabbed to death in south london. one of the victims, who has been named locally as dolet hill, was found stabbed to death along with two other women and a man at a house in bermondsey. new footage released by police in the us shows the hollywood actor alec baldwin practising drawing his gun before a fatal shooting on a film set last year. the santa fe county sheriff's office has released all files relating to its ongoing investigation into the death of the cinematographer halyna hutchins. mr baldwin has previously said he did not pull the trigger. david willis has the latest. alec baldwin rehearsing his quick draw only moments before a film set was transformed into a crime scene. the incident sent police racing to the sprawling desert ranch in new mexico. newly released police body cam footage shows the chaos that confronted them on arrival. 42—year—old film—maker halyna hutchins, regarded as a rising star in the movie industry, was airlifted to a nearby hospital where she later died. are you doing 0k? no, i'm not, actually. alec baldwin who was both the star of the film in one of its producers of the film and one of its producers appeared stunned and disbelieving. i don't know what to do, ijust don't know what to do. he said he didn't pull the trigger, and he didn't know who put a live round in the weapon he fired. newly released footage also includes his first interview with the police. i take the gun out, and as i take, as it clears, as the barrel clears, i turned it and the gun goes off. it should have been a cold gun with no rounds inside or dummy rounds, cosmetic rounds. no flash. i take the gun out slowly, in turn, i cocked the pistol, bang, she hits the ground. she goes down. and then he starts screaming. and i'm thinking, in a flash round, i could see maybe if there was some wadding or some stuff that was hot, and maybe it hits you and burns you. they say sometimes that happens.s but remember we're rehearsing, so that i was protected. so no one was protected. last week, local safety officials issued a report detailing safety failures on the set and fined the producers the maximum possible penalty of nearly $140,000. inquiries are continuing and detectives say they are still awaiting the results of a ballistics and forensic analysis along with an analysis of alec baldwin's phone data before they decide whether to press charges. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. now the weather with carol. it was a little bit cold this morning. sally has done the weather! good morning. sally is right, a cold start. forsome, morning. sally is right, a cold start. for some, frosty, morning. sally is right, a cold start. forsome, frosty, particular parts of the highlands and east anglia. as we go through today we will see increasing amounts of cloud. it will be mainly dry but with light rain in parts of scotland and north—east england but dense fog as you can see from this picture in lincolnshire. that is across parts of central england, the midlands, lincolnshire. through the day, it should break and we will see sunshine coming through. through the day cloud in scotland and north—east england slips further south and west. it should brighten up in the north of scotland. still the odd bit of rain coming from this. for much of rain coming from this. for much of england and wales, sunshine, as we will see in northern ireland and the best in the south—west. gentle breezes but a brisk north—easterly down the north sea coastline meaning eastern coastal counties will feel cooler. through this evening and overnight, cloud in the east drifts west. we will see clear skies and we are looking at a touch of frost in the highlands and northern england with temperatures falling to freezing or below. they should hold up freezing or below. they should hold up in other parts. tomorrow, starting with cloud in the east. it should break. sunshine coming through. brighterskies should break. sunshine coming through. brighter skies in the west. cloud developing and maybe the isolated shower. and a brisk breeze in the south—east and the english channel with a high of 14. and it looks like the weather is stuck in a rut. i much preferred your weather to sally's very short weather. you can tell you are a professional. concise. thanks. carol is too kind. let's take a look at some of today's papers. there's a wide variety of stories on the front pages. the guardian carries a large image of elon musk, the world's richest man, and reports he has clinched that $44 billion deal to buy twitter. "bloodbath" is the headline in the mirror. the paper says that a grandmother in her 60s was among four members of the same family found stabbed to death at a home in bermondsey, south east london, yesterday. the telegraph reports that a rise in cases of hepatitis in children could be linked to lockdowns and social distancing. it says officials believe a lack of exposure to common infections may be fuelling the outbreak. we'll be speaking to dr nighat arif about that at half—past six. and the times says people's summer holidays are under threat amid huge delays in processing applications for new passports. the funeral of a very special man is taking place today. he was a d—day veteran, a campaigner, a loving family man, and a true character. we're talking, of course, about harry billinge, who also became a great friend of this programme over the last couple of years. breakfast'sjohn maguire has been to harry's home town of st austell, in cornwall, to speak to some of those who knew him best, as they prepare to say goodbye. we know about harry billinge as the young soldier who was one of the first ashore on d—day, and as the old soldier, who campaigned tirelessly to see a memorial built in normandy for his fallen comrades. but during the decades in between, he lived a very full life of faith and of family. what has been the response from people? 0utpouring of love. amazing. cards every day. got to feel the love, you know. yeah. the love for my dad. lots of love for dad. "it has been one of my great privileges of the last few years to have met and got to know harry a little bit. i am so grateful to have had that opportunity." they take much solace from the messages such as this letterfrom field marshal montgomery's grandson henry. "i have a lot to learn from him. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family family as you adjust to life without harry." mummy really keeps reading that. she really is touched by that letter, because she met him. losing somebody is never easy. losing somebody as loved as daddy is really hard. for everybody. because of the people, the outpouring of support, and i think that it will continue, and i think that is what he wanted. to strive to get that built, you know the education centre. hejust did so much. so peoplejust, like, we are going to get this done for harry and his memory. and when you read things about how he touched their lives. people that you have never met. that is what i think is the greatest gift that he left. harry and his wife sheila have three children. the girls have a brother, christopher, sally's twin. for decades, their father was a barber in st austell. one with famously high standards. i used to finish work early on a friday and i would walk in the shop and he would have a load of customers in there. i would say, "dad, will you cut my hairfor me? "no, margot, look at all these men in here i've got to cut." and they would say, "never mind, harry, do margot�*s first." so he used to cut my hair. i used to say, "cut my hair like rod stewart." did he even know who that was? yeah, yeah, he knew who it was. he hated the music. time spent with harry billinge was as entertaining as it was inspiring. andy duff first spotted him collecting money here in the centre of st austell. they soon became friends as andy was persuaded to help the cause by driving him around. he was one of my best mates, even though he was a lot older than me. we were parked outside his house and this guy came running over and said, "you bumped into my car." i said, "no i didn't." before i knew what happened, harry was out of the car and having a go at the guy. i thought, hang on a minute, you're 96! once a warrior... yeah. take care, my darling. god bless. thank you very much. and you miss him? oh, yeah. there are not many people in life that you will miss for a long time. yeah, i miss him all right. we'll have his funeral. that will be chaos! rodney cairns, seven, travelled 300 miles over eight days in a second world war ford jeep. and young rodney cairns will be among the congregation today. he first met harry in arromanches on the 75th anniversary of d—day in 2019. a chance meeting that became a cherished friendship. we were like best friends, because we would chat over the phone so many times. and we would chat for about an hour. he served in the war and fought for our country. i liked listening to his stories because he told me all about when he was young, when he was fighting, when he got onto the beach. veterans are just amazing. rodney, well i said very fond of harry, but rodney informed me, no, he loved him. and, yes, they were very close and they would send each other photographs and cards. harry made rodney an honorary member of the normandy veterans' association. a lovely friendship. friendship was so important to him. those of today and those of 1944. we witnessed it as he, at long last, for the first time, was able to touch the walls of the british normandy memorial above gold beach in france. it was exactly six months ago today. and, in st austell, in a shed at the bottom of his garden, he created his own memorial. he would spend hours in here, sitting alone quietly, reflecting and always remembering, just as now he will be remembered. john maguire, bbc news, st austell. the wonderful harry billinge. jon kay is in st austell. along with some of the many people whose lives were touched by harry. we will talk to jon we will talk tojon and harry's friends throughout the programme. we will be there around 6:50am for the first time. harry billinge's funeral later today. the wake is at the local brewery where harry has had beer named after him. they do love him down there. time to get the news where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. a group of londoners are donating ambulances to ukraine to provide urgent care for those injured in the conflict. around 28 have been delivered to the front line to replace those destroyed in russian attacks. it's been organised by a group who've been fundraising for medical supplies and have filled the vehicles with some of the items most in need. some other things that only paramedics could use, so it is special bags, with blood clots, turn a case, bandages, orantiseptics. so truly anything that could be needed on the battlefield, paramedics who are providing first aid. some fertility services at homerton hospital in east london are being suspended because of staff shortages. the hospital says it hopes to resume operations within the next six months, but in the mean time, patients will be transferred to fertility units at imperial college london and barts nhs trust. scientists are carrying out a study of hundreds of former professional footballers, to understand more about the link between ex—players and dementia. a team from imperial college london will use imaging and a range of tests to compare brain health in former players and the general population. the oldest surviving complete map of london has gone on display as part of a new exhibition at the london metropolitan archives. civitas londinium provides a bird's—eye view of london from the the tudor period. if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a few delays on the tubes this morning. the central line is part suspended and minor delays on the metropolitan line. 0nto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. yesterday we had our first measurable rain in quite some time, just across one or two spots across london. it wasn't a huge amount and today it is going to be dry again. a chilly start this morning, low single figures to start the day but plenty of sunshine. a bit more cloud through the afternoon, the wind finally has fallen a little lighter. but temperatures only managing around 16 celsius in the sunshine. 0vernight tonight, we will see a bit more cloud, still some clear spells but thicker cloud moves through and underneath that the temperature perhaps not quite so chilly as last night. the minimum between three and six celsius. for tomorrow, we have still got that little bit of cloud in the morning but high pressure is very much in charge. so it's staying largely dry throughout. we are just chasing cloud amounts around. so for tomorrow some bright and sunny spells, the wind again fairly gentle, north—easterly though. so it is going to feel chilly out in the east along the thames estuary. but temperatures tomorrow around 13 celsius, so perhaps feeling a little chillier. we have got plenty of dry weather in the forecast, maybe one or two light showers but again no significant rain and night time temperatures still feeling chilly. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to sally and dan. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. coming up on this morning's programme. the boxing legend ricky hatton will be on the sofa to tell us why he's getting back in the ring for one last bout. katie derham will be here, too. she'll be looking ahead to this year's bbc proms, as the full schedule is released. and the kaiser chiefs are headlining a big thank you tourfor the key workers who helped us through the pandemic. it kicked off last night and frontman ricky wilson will be here to tell us how it went. i think ricky was in glasgow tonight so he will be a late night and an early start. in manchester tonight. there's been a worrying surge in cases of hepititis in children in the uk. that's according to figures from the world health organisation. at least 169 children, most of them from britain, have fallen ill with it since the start of april. one of them has died and 17 have needed liver transplants. in all these cases, the cause is not known. doctor nighat arif can tell us more, she joins us from chesham. good morning, of another to speak to you as ever. good morning, of

of hepatitis in children which is the thing which is concerning us and we need to do more research in finding out the underlying cause. what should parents be looking out for? hepatitis sound so

e, and they have different representations. there are also genetic causes. 0lder different representations. there are also genetic causes. older adults, alcohol and certain drugs can cause hepatitis. it is an inflammation of the liver. the signs that that presents to the person is that you can get the yellowing of the skin or eyes, itchy skin as well, your child might have dark you're in and pale stools, they might complain of clap orfatigue, but —— cramp orfatigue. they might see a spike in pictures as well. cases they have looked at so far is a form of adenovirus, we think that 70% of the cases is that there is a particular type of virus. it's a very common virus, we have hundreds of cases of adenovirus. some of the studies particularly in scotland, they found that there is an adenovirus 41 which we think is causing this hepatitis. that doesn't account for all of the cases. looking out for signs and symptoms is so important-— is so important. people watching this morning. —

doctors and consultants in hospitals have been told to look out for the signs and symptoms. the other thing i am sick a lot on social media is a real concern that the —— seen a lot on social media is that concerned that the covid vaccine could be responsible for this hepatitis. all of these cases of hepatitis we have seenin of these cases of hepatitis we have seen in children are not linked to the vaccine because none of the children had the vaccine. so that is categorically not the case and we could reassure parents that if they are thinking about the vaccine, please go ahead. whether it is coronavirus itself causing hepatitis, we don't really know yet. we are still waiting for the information as to whether there is a link. that means going into the background of the child's history and finding out where the virus happened. i do viruses —— adenoviruses, we have got to come back to the airport public health messages, making sure we reduce transmission by effective hand washing, if you

robertson, despite the fact he lost. you can lose per still be incredibly happy -- you can lose per still be incredibly happy —— it happens to you can lose per still be incredibly happy -- it happens to deal robertson. i think he is only the eighth player to achieve it. i think it is better than a hat—trick in the football. it is the odds of achieving it, you can have a whole the one in the gulf, but in a real sporting sense, —— you can have a holy one in the gulf. that is just one shot. you need perfection for however long it takes. 15 perfection for however long it takes.

you have got to put the red bull, screw back. a special score, and no better place to do it than the crucible. there had only ever been 11 maximum breaks there in world championship history, until last night. what a moment for australia's neil robertson. the pre—tournament favourite was fighting back in his match against jack lisowski. the crowds reaction obviously alerted the players on the other table to what had happened. they offered their congratulations. robertson won this tournament in 2010. he said he'd achieved everything he could ever dream of 100 times over. but it wasn't enough to win him the match. he went out to a gutsy performance from lisowski, who took a final frame decider to win13—12 and set up another tough test, a quarterfinal meeting with four—time champion john higgins. i've never had a game like that in my life. the cheer when i potted the red at the end, i'm just completely drained. i gave that everything i had, literally everything. neil is the best player in the world at the moment and the way that he came back at me tonight, you know, it felt like he was punching me, i was like losing all the energy out my body. but then i've just drawn on the stuff i've learned and thinking about the hard work that i've put in. if you're wondering what happened on the other table... another long, late—night tussle went the way ofjudd trump, winner of the title three years ago. he held off a determined push from anthony mcgill to win13—11. he'll face stuart bingham next. it is a clash of two heavyweights in the champions league semi—finals this evening, as manchester city, going for that elusive first european cup, host the team who've won it 13 times. real madrid are the visitors to the etihad for the first leg. and city's manager says they'll need perfect performances across both games to reach the final for a second straight year. let's now try to be ourselves, compete good, we have to do two exceptional games to reach the final. and hopefully we can do it. we can do the games, be ourselves, and it is not necessary to say how much we respect real madrid, how good they are. and that's all. leeds won a precious point in their fight against relegation from the premier league, in a goalless draw at crystal palace. neither side had many chances although wilfried zaha could have won it for palace with ten minutes to go. leeds are now five points clear of the dotted line. the day before her 37th birthday, aston villa and former england defender anita asante has announced she'll retire from football at the end of the season. asante won 71 england caps, played at two world cups, three euros and represented team gb at the 2012 olympics. she was also part of the arsenal team that made history in 2007 by winning four titles. the premier league say an independent regulator for football is "not necessary", despite it being a key part of the government's plans to change the way the game is run. a body to regulate issues such as finances and who runs clubs, was one of the suggestions made by a fan—led review into football. and the mp who chaired that review wants the premier league to fully accept theirfindings. you would have hoped that they would have had a bit more self—awareness of some of the concerns about the conflict of interests, and therefore embraced the reforms that are being proposed, even though it does threaten their authority. other parts of football have recognised the need for reform and that reform to be in the shape of an independent regulator. it has ignited a battle for control in people with the premier league running the game there. i think the argument is that the fans need more control in football, and the ten points that came out of the review have been broadly packed but it is just a case of when they will be implemented. and what happens now. the premier league, an independent regulator would see them relinquishing some control so there is going to be a stand—off. with the fans stuck in the middle, as per usual. i'm not even going to attempt to tell you what the weather was like when i got into the car. aha, tell you what the weather was like when i got into the car. b. bit when i got into the car. a bit chilly out- — when i got into the car. a bit chilly out. don't _ when i got into the car. a bit chilly out. don't say - when i got into the car. a bit chilly out. don't say it! - you are spot on earlier, and these are the temperatures in some parts of the uk, and in some parts it was below freezing. a touch of frost around this morning. if you are heading out, wrap up warm. the forecast is one of increasing amounts of cloud but mainly dry. the exception is around parts of scotland and north—east england where we have got a weak weather front producing some light on patchy rain. today and tomorrow, high pressure establishes itself across the uk so things will be fairly settled and also mostly dry. a lot of cloud to start the day across parts of scotland and northern england with the patchy light rain and drizzle, some fog across central parts into lincolnshire, that will lift and we should see some sunshine develop. at the same time we will see cloud spilling south and west. in between some sunshine, in northern ireland, and later on in the north of scotland. we will have a brisk wind in the north sea coastline, coming from a north—easterly direction so it will feel chilly if you are out and about. tree pollen levels are high in wales and southern england. moderate or low across the rest of the uk. this evening and overnight we have this cloud pushing from the east toward central areas, we could see the odd spot of drizzle coming out of that but there will be clear skies around really temperatures will fall away. these represent towns and cities but in the highlands you are likely to see some frost first thing. that is where we are going to see the sunshine first thing. we start with cloud in the east which will be drifting steadily westwards, but the northwest will see the lion's share of sunshine. risk that of strong winds across the southern coastline. into thursday, we still have a fair bit of cloud around, around central and southern scotland. much of england and wales. you can see where we are expecting some brightness to come in through the day across southern england and parts of scotland. the cloud could be taken for the odd spot of drizzle here and there. still breezy through the english channel. after that high pressure remains in charge of the weather for the most part but on saturday we could start to see an area of low pressure with a front trying to come into the west. this position at the time we could change but it could mean that parts of northern ireland could cease a rain nothing to heavy but for the rest of us with high pressure in charge, things still remain fairly quiet on the weather front. we have to listen properly to carol for the data, notjust me getting it! for the data, not 'ust me getting it! �* .., for the data, not 'ust me getting it! a ., for the data, not 'ust me getting it! ., ., it! don't get carried away and do it! you probably don't need to be told that the cost of your groceries is going up but how much worse is it going to get, and how is it affecting the way we shop? nina's at a supermarket in chester to tell us more. what are you going to buy today? hopefully a bargain! yes, we have already had a look around the hood increases. good morning. —— in the pudding freezes. we talked about how this is set to be the year of the squeeze, and now we are seeing the collective leads of decisions we make about what to spend. maybe you are talking about compromising on cereals, cheese and processed meats, may be saying no more treat for the kids. he will definitely be seeing more of these, deals to entice you, as supermarkets recognise they have to get more competitive to bring us in and spend. let's see how the squeeze is packed to spend. retail sales were down 1.4% as we started to feel the bite. 0nline sales were hit really hard, at 7.9%, possibly because we are making fewer spontaneous purchases. and food sales were already on the decline. in lockdown, we were buying most of our food from supermarkets and as the options opened up, we reduce the amount we spend a place like this. 0verall inflation, the rate at which prices are going up is 7%. it has been going up since september and it is at a 30 year high so it is little wonder that the way we spend is changing significantly, we asked shoppers in manchester. we can't afford them prices. they've gone sky high. no matter where we go now, no matter where we go. and it's going to get worse, it's not going to get better. i mean, yeah, peppers have gone up. the other thing it's gone up, the herbs and spices we buy. they've gone up and the amount you get in the packet has gone down. so instead of getting 100 grams for a pound, you get 85 grams for £1.19. i only shop for myself. so i've noticed them going up, obviously, but it hasn't really. affected too many of my decisions. because i live quite simply anyway in terms of shopping. _ i'm much more careful now than i used to be. i look for bargains, i don't tend to try to go to the money off thing all the time, but we certainly do. we are much more careful about what we buy, how much we buy and where we buy from. that it, isn't it? a lot more of us are getting the ball laser focus for are getting the ball laser focus for a bargain as prices increase. we will be talking to the boss of iceland later on. we are in quite an unusual situation. usually when inflation goes up it is because we are spending more and the bank of england can increase interest rates, we are spending less but still inflation is going up because of global scarcity of resources. it is tricky to predict where we go from here. we will get more specific examples of prices increasing later will of the deals that supermarkets might be bringing us. i will of the deals that supermarkets might be bringing us.— might be bringing us. i know you have been _ might be bringing us. i know you have been speaking _ might be bringing us. i

fridges, they said their bills have gone from 45 million to 140 million in energy bills. it is a real page for businesses as well as us at home. yes, they have to pay the increase prices and paid the lorry drivers to deliver good so there has been a squeeze there. this is where the competition comes in, tesco, sainsbury�*s, asda, they will look at one another and look at where prices are being driven down. that is where competition comes to bring through the doors. we are becoming more aware as shopping. —— shoppers. in those inflation figures in march were before the energy price increases. today we say goodbye to harry billinge, the d—day veteran and friend of breakfast, who died earlier this month, aged 96. his funeral will take place in his home town of st austell, in cornwall. jon kay is there for us. jon, it's a sad day but also a chance to celebrate an incredible life. absolutely, that is precisely the tone that people are hoping for today. thank you forjoining

children in the school is about the horrors of war, this is where he raised his children, and he raised money to pay for that memorial in nobody for those who did not survive. —— in normandy. hundreds

a naughty boy. i know that the fundraiserjulie would rig him a couple of times a week and he would always welcome her the same way, hello, darling. a real character, but some are a real passion. he

that we could remember those who did not come home afterfighting under the british flag. to us, names on the memorial, these are the guys who gave everything for the freedom we have been enjoying for 70 years. to harry, these were real people. he trained with them, he fought alongside them and he watched them die. and i think that created that passion with him him that said that they must never be

with my mates didn't? in many of them carry that burden of wanted to make sure that burden of wanted to make sure that their mates were never forgotten. harry took that to another level and wanted to make sure that by his own personal involvement, for many years, he raised money for the british legion because of the work they do with veterans. as soon as he heard this memorial were on the stocks,

now to get the news, travel and weather where good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. some fertility services at homerton hospital in east london are being suspended because staff shortages. because of staff shortages. the hospital says it hopes to resume operations within the next six months, but in the meantime, patients will be transferred to fertility units at imperial college london and barts nhs trust. some of london's airports say they saw some of the biggest falls in passenger numbers last year due to the pandemic. southend, gatwick and london city airports all saw passengers numbers fall more than 85% from levels seen before covid. the trade body that oversees airports said the uk sites had suffered more than their european counterparts due to tighter travel restrictions. scientists are carrying out a study of hundreds of former professional footballers to understand more about the link between ex—players and dementia. a team from imperial college london will use imaging and a range of tests to compare brain health in former players and the general population. the oldest surviving complete map of london has gone on display as part of a new exhibition at the london metropolitan archives. civitas londinium provides a bird's—eye view of london from the the tudor period. only three prints of it, all dating back to 1633, are known to exist. what is extraordinary about the map is the detail. we see detail of the city itself and the buildings, but we also see detail of life in london and people. so we see arches in the fields to the north of the city then we see the detail of the city wall, which is obviously long since gone, and the city gates. well, if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. the central line is part suspended. minor delays on the metropolitan line. the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. yesterday we had our first measurable rain in quite some time, just across one or two spots across london. it wasn't a huge amount and today it is going to be dry again. a chilly start this morning, low single figures to start the day but plenty of sunshine. a bit more cloud through the afternoon, the wind finally has fallen a little lighter. but temperatures only managing around 16 celsius in the sunshine. 0vernight tonight, we will see a bit more cloud, still some clear spells but thicker cloud moves through and underneath that the temperature perhaps not quite so chilly as last night. the minimum between three and six celsius. for tomorrow, we have still got that little bit of cloud in the morning but high pressure is very much in charge. so it's staying largely dry throughout. we are just chasing cloud amounts around. so for tomorrow some bright and sunny spells, the wind again fairly gentle, north—easterly though. so it is going to feel chilly out in the east along the thames estuary. but temperatures tomorrow around 13 celsius, so perhaps feeling a little chillier. we have got plenty of dry weather in the forecast, maybe one or two light showers but again no significant rain and night time temperatures still feeling chilly. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now though it's back to sally and dan. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and sally nugent. 0ur headlines

secretary—general, antonio guterres, will meet the russian president vladimir putin in moscow today, in the hope of brokering a peace deal. his visit comes as russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov, suggested there's a danger of the conflict in ukraine leading to a new world war. andrew plant has the latest. sheltering in a basement as the fighting above them intensifies in the donbas region of

nations. secretary general antonio guterres will meet president putin in moscow later today. he will then travel to kyiv on thursday. in his evening address, ukraine's president zelensky said his country was ready for peace, but that, he said, could only be achieved with every ukrainian defending their freedom. translation: for russia to seek peace, every - ukrainian must still fight. they must defend freedom, because every day of struggle now adds years of peaceful life after this war, after our victory. but hopes of peace may be slim. with russia suggesting there is a danger of the

into ukraine, the uk will do the same. ambulances and armoured vehicles on their way as this conflict enters its third month. the hope now is the united nations can help secure more humanitarian corridors to allow more civilians to flee the fighting. correspondentjenny hill joins us now from moscow. the un secretary—general is meeting vladimir putin for talks hopes of a breakthrough are not high? not at all. i think if anything talks might focus on mariupol and potential for humanitarian corridors but you have expectations of a significant breakthrough today. from the russian side there is little evidence to suggest putin is genuinely interested in seeking peace. look at what his foreign minister said. that the west is in effect intensifying the west is in effect intensifying the conflict by supplying arms to ukraine. mr putin said something similar yesterday. state television has told russian something similar for weeks now. ukraine is the enemy, but the west is the villain here and it is the west are seeking to drag out this conflict for as long as possible and it is the west, the narrative goes, that in effect will turn vladimir putin's special military operation into full—blown war. russians are told that for a couple of all vladimir putin believes the west is the real enemy here, and second, he is preparing russian people for this conflict to go on longer than perhaps he or they expected, and for victory perhaps to be harder to win as they expected. when you watch vladimir putin and officials speaking, you see with mr putin he is convinced he is right. if you think about sanctions imposed on russia and about the threats and plea from the international community to stop the conflict and the fact there war has not gone as he would have wanted it to and then consider he is not stopping. he is defiant. it looks as though he is determined to continue. thanks. jenn hill determined to continue. thanks. jenny hill in _ determined to continue. thanks. jenny hill in moscow. _ the board of twitter has accepted a takeover offer from the world's richest man, elon musk. he'll pay around £34 billion for control of the social media network and plans to relax some of the restrictions on what its 300 million users can post. here's our us technology correspondent james clayton. elon musk usually tweets cryptic messages but there was nothing cryptic about his reaction to the news that twitter had accepted his offer. but people here in silicon valley are rubbing their eyes with disbelief. the world's richest man now the owner of one of the most influential social media platforms. twitter isn't the most used social media site in the world but it is hugely influential. world leaders likejoe biden, narendra modi, emmanuel macron, and borisjohnson are all on it. when it comes to news generation, twitter has no comparison. but for years, people, particularly on the right, have said that twitter stifles free speech. donald trump's sensational lifetime ban from the platform is held up as a seminal moment — a sitting president's megaphone removed by big tech. elon musk says he wants to bring back free speech to the platform. mr musk will now have to deal with conspiracy theorists, disinformation campaigns and hate speech. the danger is that twitter without moderation could become poisonous. hi, everyone. joe biden's spokesperson confirmed the president wants more moderation, not less. no matter who owns or runs twitter, the president has long been concerned about the power of large social media platforms, the power they have over our everyday lives. has long argued that tech platforms must be held accountable for the harms they cause. but for now, elon musk is rejoicing. twitter is now his personal plaything. he's the new undisputed king of twitter. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. he isa he is a decent dancer! you think? let's get more on this with tech expert dan sodergren, who joins us in the studio. the money is astronomical. £34 billion plus. the money is astronomical. £34 billion plus-— billion plus. has he overpaid for twitter? yes, _ billion plus. has he overpaid for twitter?

twitter? yes, i think the share price is 44 billion in dollars so probably by a third. but he is worth billions. he can do it very quickly. i do not think he is buying it for the users and to make money but for a deeper point, he is looking at cannes he owns a social media platform? the answer is yes. 0ther rich people have owned platforms before. it does not always go well for society when they do that. but he is a heck of a businessman, let's be fair. why should we care who owns it? because he can now do things he could not do before. he asked beforehand should we have an edit button. which i know you will look forward to. he asked 80 million people and asked and most people said yes please. they have wanted to do it about five years. also the culture of the company will change. the way he looks at the future of work is different. should people come back to offices? he thinks not. he did another opinion poll, asking about making a building for hostel. i said yes. he talks about free speech. there is concern on the other side of that, and the debate about where it ends. where do you legislate for hate speech? where do you draw the line on a platform that is powerful.

katie has not been seen since and nor have herfamily heard anything from her. police appealed for anyone who has footage of the silver transit van to get in touch with them because it might give them clues as to what may have happened. a50—year—old man was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of kidnap. he is still being held. they were granted an extra 36 hours to question him into today. police say they are keeping an open mind as to what may have happened to katie but the longer the search goes on, the more concerned they are about what may have happened. 0ne more concerned they are about what may have happened. one of her friends posted to facebook that this was a real nightmare. clearly, everyone is concerned and hoping to have news as to where her presence may be. have news as

a fatal shooting on a film set last year. the santa fe county sheriff's office has released all files relating to its ongoing investigation into the death of the cinematographer halyna hutchins. mr baldwin has previously said he did not pull the trigger. david willis has the latest. alec baldwin rehearsing his quick draw only moments before a film set was transformed into a crime scene. the incident sent police racing to the sprawling desert ranch in new mexico. newly released police body cam footage shows the chaos that confronted them on arrival. 42—year—old film—maker halyna hutchins, regarded as a rising star in the movie industry, was airlifted to a nearby hospital where she later died. are you doing 0k? no, i'm not, actually. alec baldwin who was both the star of the film and one of its producers appeared stunned and disbelieving. you tell me what to do, you just tell me what to do. you tell me what to do. he said he didn't pull the trigger, and he didn't know who put a live round in the weapon he fired. newly released footage also includes his first interview with the police. i take the gun out, and as i take it, as the barrel clears, i turned it and the gun goes off. it should have been a cold gun with no rounds inside — or dummy rounds, cosmetic rounds. no flash. i take the gun out slowly, i cocked the pistol, bang, she hits the ground. she goes down. and then he starts screaming. and i'm thinking, in a flash round, i could see maybe if there was some wadding or some stuff that was hot, and maybe it hits you and burns you. they say sometimes that happens. but remember, we're rehearsing, so no one was protected. last week, local safety officials issued a report detailing safety failures on the set and fined the producers the maximum possible penalty of nearly $140,000. inquiries are continuing and detectives say they are still awaiting the results of a ballistics and forensic analysis along with an analysis of alec baldwin's phone data before they decide whether to press charges. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. you might remember — towards the end of last year — we were talking about a huge increase in women reporting that they had been spiked by a needle whilst out in bars and clubs. now a cross—party group of mps has suggested a raft of new measures to tackle spiking — by any method — in england and wales. they say venues with a bad record for spiking should lose their licence unless they put safety measures in place. they believe that spiking should be made a specific criminal offence. and that the government should commission research to help to understand spikers' motives, and improve the prevention of attacks. we're joined now by zara 0wen, who spoke to the committee about her experience following a needle spiking last year, and dawn dines, the founder of the campaign group stamp 0ut spiking. good morning. just remind us what happened to you. i good morning. just remind us what happened to you-—

the day. western scotland seeing sunshine first thing. elsewhere, cloud producing light rain and drizzle which extends into northern england. northern ireland, sunny intervals through the day. the cloud breaking up slowly and fog lifting across england and wales and some sunshine coming through. through the rest of the day, it will brighten up. at the same time, more cloud moving south and west. between that some sunshine with a brisk wind down the north sea coast. eastern counties feeling chilly. temperatures inland, 16. 0vernight, further cloud pushes westwards. clear skies and in parts of scotland and northern england in sheltered areas, cold enough forfrost. tomorrow we start with cloud. you could catch the odd spot of rain and drizzle. most will stay dry, and sunshine particularly in the north and west and parts of the south. a brisk wind across the southeast. also the english channel. temperatures up to 13, but cool along the north sea coast. temperature is below average at the moment. they should be 13—16 north to south. the funeral of harry billinge will take place later this morning in his home town of charlestown, in cornwall. jon kay is there with some of the people who knew him best. yes, good morning. welcome to cornwall, the sun shining down this morning. as we all remember harry billinge. this is the breakfast sofa we take to outside broadcasts. we will always think of it as harry's saver because it was three years ago we took it to normandy and harry sat here and talked about his memories of d—day and he talked about friends he lost and he spoke movingly about his own personal history. we all listened and fell in love with harry at that moment. which is why we thought we would come to cornwall today, just down the hill from where harry will be laid to rest. and we will hear throughout the programme from his friends and family as they remember such a wonderful and historic manner. shall we hear a little bit of the conversation he

finally got to see in normandy six months before he died. —— six months to this very day. we will talk to people who accompanied him to that memorial and members of the community and his family and we will speak to a man who wrote a special poem that ended up having a tremendous impact on harry billinge's life. we will hear from harry reading that poem in his words at the end of the programme. this is quite a setting. it almost looks like a memorial in its own right. charles town just outside st austell. 0n the hill is st paul's church where the funeral will take place later this morning. let's go to our new steams across the uk. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm frankie mccamley. some fertility services at homerton hospital in east london are being suspended because staff shortages. the hospital says it hopes to resume operations within the next six months, but in the mean time, patients will be transferred to fertility units at imperial college london and barts nhs trust. some of london's airports say they saw some of the biggest falls in passenger numbers last year due to the pandemic. southend, gatwick and london city airports all saw passengers numbers fall more than 85% from levels seen before covid. the trade body that oversees airports said the uk sites had suffered more than their european counterparts due to tighter travel restrictions. scientists are carrying out a study of hundreds of former professional footballers, to understand more about the link between ex—players and dementia. a team from imperial college london will use imaging and a range of tests to compare brain health in former players and the general population. the oldest surviving complete map of london has gone on display as part of a new exhibition at the london metropolitan archives. civitas londinium provides a bird's—eye view of london from the the tudor period. only three prints of it, all dating back to 1633, are known to exist. what is extraordinary about the map is the detail. we see detail of the city itself and the buildings, but we also see detail of life in london and people. so we see arches in the fields to the north of the city then we see the detail of the city wall, which is obviously long since gone, and the city gates. if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a few delays on the tubes this morning. severe delays on the central line and minor delays on the metropolitan line. 0nto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. yesterday we had our first measurable rain in quite some time, just across one or two spots across london. it wasn't a huge amount and today it is going to be dry again. a chilly start this morning, low single figures to start the day but plenty of sunshine. a bit more cloud through the afternoon, the wind finally has fallen a little lighter. but temperatures only managing around 16 celsius in the sunshine. 0vernight tonight, we will see a bit more cloud, still some clear spells but thicker cloud moves through and underneath that the temperature perhaps not quite so chilly as last night. the minimum between three and six celsius. for tomorrow, we have still got that little bit of cloud in the morning but high pressure is very much in charge. so it's staying largely dry throughout. we are just chasing cloud amounts around. so for tomorrow some bright and sunny spells, the wind again fairly gentle, north—easterly though. so it is going to feel chilly out in the east along the thames estuary. but temperatures tomorrow around 13 celsius, so perhaps feeling a little chillier. we have got plenty of dry weather in the forecast, maybe one or two light showers but again no significant rain and night time temperatures still feeling chilly. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and dan walker. the uk has announced it will send more armoured vehicles, ambulances and medical equipment to ukraine. we can get some more details now from the armed forces minister, james heappey. thank you for spending a bit of time with us. it’s thank you for spending a

country, do you think the ukrainians can hold not in the donbas region? i can hold not in the donbas region? 1 do, very much. if you look at mariupol, where a couple of thousand ukrainian fighters are in a very well prepared defensive position within the azovstal steelworks, three weeks ago people were talking about the imminent device of that position and yet they fight on and in doing so they are soaking up a huge amount of russian combat power. and the difference now from where we were in the early phase of the conflict where russia was advancing on several different axes but was focused around taking kyiv is now that by focusing on the east of the country, they are going up against where the ukrainians have the bulk of their regular armed forces, and those ukrainian armed forces are dug in in defensive positions that have been prepared for about eight years. that means the advantages with the defenders. the force levels are more equal and the russian military commanders are under huge political pressure from vladimir putin to deliver an outcome before the may the 9th parade in moscow, and that is forcing them to take decisions that are militarily unsound. so i think that there is every chance that ukrainians could see the russians off and we are working hard to make sure that is the case. i was to make sure that is the case. i was auoin to to make sure that is the case. i was going to ask — to make sure that is the case. i was going to ask you — to make sure that is the case. i was going to ask you about _ to make sure that is the case. i was going to ask you about may

frank gardner our security of correspondence was saying yesterday that there will be pressure from vladimir putin to make sure there is something to celebrate from that day. do you think even though there might be pressure for the russians to do things differently, they could be real intensity in the fighting in the build—up to that day? intensity in the fighting in the build-up to that day? undoubtedly, pete and's it _ build-up to that day? undoubtedly, pete and's it is _ build-up to that day? undoubtedly, pete and's it is absolute _ build-up to that day? undoubtedly, pete and's it is absolute is -- - pete and's it is absolute is —— putin's rate is absolute within the kremlin and beyond, the military outcome must be secured by may the 9th, which will mean that commanders even though they will know from all of their staff training that it is absolute folly to launch an offensive before you have matched your combat power, that they are giving away whatever advantage they may want and there has been incredibly bad weather in the donbas over the last week or two which means the ground is not conducive right now to the manoeuvre of heavy armour, but putin's political pressure and the hubris he has showed, his desire to stand there on the steps of the kremlin on maine the steps of the kremlin on maine the ninth and be a hero, means that thousands of russian lives are going to be lost and the russians are going to hand over the numerical advantage they should have. and i think it could turn to be pretty decisive. ukrainians are very well prepared in the donbas and what could happen in the donbas is pretty evenly matched. i could happen in the donbas is pretty evenly matched.— evenly matched. i don't expect you to tell us what _ evenly matched. i don't

number of occasions, no doubt that is being reciprocated by the russians to our embassy in moscow. but, no, the foreign secretary in the defence secretary both went to moscow in the week or so before the war, their opposite numbers look to them in the eye and told them it would not happen. i'm not sure what good comes from having a conversation with moscow when they have acted in such bad faith and frankly our priority is to support ukrainians in restoring their territory and sovereignty. t restoring their territory and sovereignty-— restoring their territory and sovereiun . , . .,

things like that? i think that his trademark over the course of 15 years or so that he has been the russian foreign secretary has been that sort of bravado. i don't think that right now there is an imminent threat of escalation, i think that what the west is doing to support its allies in ukraine is very well calibrated. i think that throughout the conflict and in the months beforehand, there were these moments where russia sought to remind the west or threaten the west that to support ukrainian sovereignty would be to risk seeing this expand. everything we do is calibrated to avoid direct confrontation with russia. make no mistake, the ukrainian people are fighting bravely, president zelensky has been clear that he is unwilling to negotiate with russian soldiers so far having taken so much of ukraine, and i think frankly it is ourjob as his supporters in the west to make sure that when he chooses to negotiate, it's on his terms. and we will continue to support him until he decides

in a tie. and i never really gave much thought to it because it is what i wear a nobody really cares because a bloke. 0ur female colleagues are always worried about what they are wearing, how it will be interpreted, always worried about what people think about what they are saying is related to their gender, they get abuse i don't have to put up with, and i think it is reprehensible. the impact will be, having such incredible strides, there have been two female prime ministers from my party i must add, in my lifetime, we have got two women in the great offices, 35% of the house of commons is now female and that has been climbing. episodes like this will just serve to put women off going into politics and our public discourse will be all the worse if thatis discourse will be all the worse if that is to be the case. westminster is in a bad place right now, and that story, the way it was written, the idiot of a colleague who apparently gave that quote, i just... dan, i'm really angry. because people should come to westminster because they have got a sense of mission, they wanted to serve their country and community and make a difference to the better and make a difference to the

apparently said that angela rayner was crossing and uncrossing her legs to put of the prime minister. when you read that, did you think, who on earth is that, where has it come from? do you feel a sense of responsibility to root that out? t responsibility to root that out? i read it and i thought, what responsibility to root that out? t read it and i thought, what planet are they on? how can they have sat recently behind a female prime minister, how can they have in the last few weeks sat behind a female foreign secretary who has been leading a response internationally, and think that somehow that is even remotely appropriate or necessary? and i know angela rayner, i had the great privilege of travelling to the us with her in 2015, i think, 2016, when we were both backbenchers. she

massively different, of course. but we are both driven by a sense of wanting to do something good for our country, and yet no one takes any notice on whether i cross or uncross my legs when i and sat on the front bench of the house of commons, no one takes any notice of what i am worrying because i am a bloke. the whole thing is offensive ridiculous, i'm sorry to angela, sorry to our theme colours, and whoever the idiot if an mp is a gave that —— who gave that quote, i hope they realise they don't represent me or parliament. t don't represent me or parliament. i know it your

outpouring of love. amazing. cards every day. got to feel the love, you know. yeah. the love for my dad. lots of love for dad. "it has been one of my great privileges of the last few years to have met and got to know harry a little bit — i am so grateful to have had that opportunity." they take much solace from the messages such as this letterfrom field marshal montgomery's grandson henry. "i have a lot to learn from him. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family family as you adjust to life without harry." mummy really keeps reading that. she really is touched by that letter, because she met him. losing somebody is never easy. losing somebody as loved as daddy is really hard. for everybody. because of the people, the outpouring of support, and i think that it will continue, and i think that is what he wanted. to strive to get that built, you know, the education centre. he just did so much. so peoplejust, like, ok, we are going to get this done for harry and his memory. and when you read things about how he touched their lives. people that you have never met. that is what i think is the greatest gift that he left. harry and his wife sheila have three children. the girls have a brother, christopher, sally's twin. for decades, their father was a barber in st austell. one with famously high standards. i used to finish work early on a friday and i would walk in the shop and he would have a load of customers in there. i would say, "dad, can you cut my hairfor me? "no, margot, look at all these men in here i've got to cut. and they would say, "never mind, harry, do margot�*s first. " so he used to cut my hair. i used to say, "cut my hair like rod stewart. did he even know who that was? yeah, yeah, he knew who it was. he hated the music. time spent with harry billinge was as entertaining as it was inspiring. andy duff first spotted him collecting money here in the centre of st austell. they soon became friends as andy was persuaded to help the cause by driving him around. he was one of my best mates, even though he was a lot older than me. we were parked outside his house and this guy came running over and said, "you bumped into my car." i said, "no i didn't." before i knew what happened, harry was out of the car and having a go at the guy. i thought, hang on a minute, you're 96! once a warrior... yeah. take care, my darling. god bless. thank you very much. and you miss him? oh, yeah. there are not many people in life that you will miss for a long time. yeah, i miss him all right. but we'll have his funeral. that will be chaos! rodney cairns, seven, travelled 300 miles over eight days in a second world war ford jeep. and young rodney cairns will be among the congregation today. he first met harry in arromanches on the 75th anniversary of d—day in 2019. a chance meeting that became a cherished friendship. we were like best friends, because we would chat over the phone so many times. and we would chat for about an hour. he served in the war and fought for our country. i liked listening to his stories because he told me all about when he was young, when he was fighting, when he got onto the beach. veterans are just amazing. rodney — well i said very fond of harry, but rodney informed me, no, he loved him. and, yes, they were very close and they would send each other photographs and cards. harry made rodney an honorary member of the normandy veterans' association. a lovely friendship. friendship was so important to him. those of today and those of 19114. we witnessed it as he, at long last, for the first time, was able to touch the walls of the british normandy memorial above gold beach in france. it was exactly six months ago today. and, in st austell, in a shed at the bottom of his garden, he created his own memorial. he would spend hours in here, sitting alone quietly, reflecting and always remembering, just as now he will be remembered. john maguire, bbc news, st austell. you talk to people here in cornwall and they all remember that glint in the eye, the ability of harry to be able to talk to anyone and to be able to talk to anyone and to be able to talk to anyone and to be able to connect with anyone. and that determination to remember the others who did not come home. harry always said it is not about me, it is about my mates, the ones who fell. but today, on the day of his funeral, it is all about harry, it is harry we get a chance to remember today. it is a special moment. you get a sense, all the people converging on st austell and here, for this special service at st paul's church up the hill behind us, i came out of the pub last night down here on the harbour. i am sure harry would have approved of that. i met french guys who had come from normandy. they travelled here to remember him and pay respects. harry is a celebrity in normandy. people remember him and the sacrifice of those other men made back in the second world war. they said they needed to be here today. they could have gone to the memorial, but they wanted to be here to remember him in person. a lot of them reflecting on the fact they are glad pandemic rules have changed and it means there can be a gathering of this number. there is going to be a special beer unveiled today because the wake after the funeral will be held at the local brewery and they are unveiling a beer in harry's memory. some of you have been in touch with suggestions for name. the marvellous man is one. and harry the hero comic that is rachel's suggestion. we will find out what it will be called later. i can see from your messages how much this man meant to you. i think we all felt we knew him because of the interview he did on breakfast in normandy. mark on twitter said thank you, harry, for your humility, courage, on twitter said thank you, harry, foryour humility, courage, loyalty and kindness. we will always remember you. and here, they will always remember him. they have known him as a hero here for decades. everybody here must have put money in the collecting tin as he collected for the memorial he finally got to see a few months ago. his family said they want all of us to try to be guardians of that memorial in normandy, whether we go to it or not, butjust to feel we are part of it and feel that remembrance continues in harry's name. from cornwall on this beautiful morning as we remember harry, back to you.— harry, back to you. thank you so much. a beautiful _ harry, back to you. thank you so much. a beautiful place. - harry, back to you. thank you so much. a beautiful place. and i harry, back to you. thank you so i much. a beautiful place. and what lovely words. and some lovely memories and comments from people who have enjoyed watching interviews with harry and his dedication to make sure he made a difference for comrades he lost. i love the fact they are naming a beer. harry the hero gets my vote. the un secretary—general — antonio guterres — will meet the russian president vladimir putin in moscow today, in the hope of brokering a peace deal. his visit comes as russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov, suggested there's a danger of the conflict in ukraine leading to a new world war. our correspondent joe inwood is in kyiv. ido i do not know whether you heard the discussion with the armed forces minister. we spoke to him about the situation and fighting in the donbas region and his view is the ukrainians have dug in and they are in good positions and it does not seem the russians are making inroads they want to make. i wonder how that is being reflected in kyiv? i can say i have been _ say i have been in the trenches. i was in the donbas a couple of weeks ago and they are incredibly fortified. the forces in the east the ukrainians have are the best they have and are well equipped and trained and battle hardened. they have fought in this for years now. forjames heappey to say that, that is what i saw on the ground. it is notjust military discussions today but it is about diplomacy and the meeting of antonio guterres who's gone to moscow. hopes for a breakthrough? i doubt it. look at the positions, the ukrainians what the positions, the ukrainians what the russians to leave their territory. the russians want to take over a portion of this country. and how someone like antonio guterres with the united nations behind him will find agreement, i do not think it possible. where we might see movement is around a role for the un in creating humanitarian corridors. that could be possible but we do not know. something to bring your attention to. just behind me, the titanium march in the distance. just below that is an eight foot, i am sorry, eight metres high bronze sculpture erected in 1982 and it shows two soviet workers. it was put up shows two soviet workers. it was put up to symbolise the friendship and brotherhood between ukraine and russia. that is now completely in tatters. latertoday, russia. that is now completely in tatters. later today, those statues will be destroyed. the mayor of kyiv will be destroyed. the mayor of kyiv will be destroyed. the mayor of kyiv will be there. i think it shows how things have changed over the years and how far relationships have sunk between russia and ukraine. thank ou. the board of twitter has accepted a takeover offer from the world's richest man, elon musk. he'll pay around £34 billion for control of the social media network — and plans to relax some of the restrictions on what its 300 million users can post. here's our us technology correspondent james clayton. elon musk usually tweets cryptic messages but there was nothing cryptic about his reaction to the news that twitter had accepted his offer. but people here in silicon valley are rubbing their eyes with disbelief. the world's richest man now the owner of one of the most influential social media platforms. twitter isn't the most used social media site in the world but it is hugely influential. world leaders likejoe biden, narendra modi, emmanuel macron, and borisjohnson are all on it. when it comes to news generation, twitter has no comparison. but for years, people, particularly on the right, have said that twitter stifles free speech. donald trump's sensational lifetime ban from the platform is held up as a seminal moment — a sitting president's megaphone removed by big tech. elon musk says he wants to bring hack free speech to the platform. mr musk will now have to deal with conspiracy theorists, disinformation campaigns and hate speech. the danger is that twitter without moderation could become poisonous. hi, everyone. joe biden's spokesperson confirmed the president wants more moderation, not less. no matter who owns or runs twitter, the president has long been concerned about the power of large social media platforms, the power they have over our everyday lives. has long argued that tech platforms must be held accountable for the harms they cause. but for now, elon musk is rejoicing. twitter is now his personal plaything. he's the new undisputed king of twitter. james clayton, bbc news, san francisco. imight i might have said 3 million but i meant 3oo i might have said 3 million but i meant 300 million. a lot of people using twitter. i will stop talking! commons speaker lindsay hoyle has arranged a meeting with the editor of the mail on sunday to discuss an article that was written about labour mp angela rayner, which was seen by many people as sexist and offensive. the article claimed the opposition's deputy leader was trying to distract the prime minister in parliament by crossing and uncrossing her legs. we'rejoined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. adam, we've heard another apology today — this time from the armed forces minister. yes, conservative male mps are falling over themselves to condemn this story and the comments and condemned the person, whoever it is, that made them. yesterday the prime minister had strong words about what would happen to the person if they were uncovered and there were stronger words this morning on this programme from the armed forces minister. ., , minister. the whole thing is offensive. —

terms of finding out who the idiot is, the whips of the conservative mps who manage discipline in the party i am told are asking questions around westminster to find out who might have said this to the mail and action will be taken if the person is identified. as you said, a meeting tomorrow between the speaker of the commons lindsay hoyle and the newspaper that ran the story and the journalist that first reported it. angela rayner will make herfirst public comments this morning on a rival channel but it will be interesting to see what she says. let me ask you this, you have been in westminster many years. over the past days we have heard stories about the culture there that are distressing. what are you hearing from people you know? it is distressing. what are you hearing from people you know?— distressing. what are you hearing from people you know? it is hard to sum u- from people you know? it is hard to sum up because _ from people you know? it is hard to sum up because people _ from people you know? it is hard to sum up because people have i from people you know? it is hard to | sum up because people have stories about sexism, may be a bit of homophobia. a bit of sexual harassment. it does exist. in my time in westminster, you have seen the institution of parliament evolve and gradually add in new processes and gradually add in new processes and policies and things to try to deal with that. the situation has definitely improved over the past years. you have to remember about parliament that it is quite a weird workplace. fora parliament that it is quite a weird workplace. for a lot of reasons. the hours are strange. the issues people grapple with and the way they grapple with and the way they grapple with and the way they grapple with them are more stressful and tense than in a normal office. also you have to remember mps are not like employees of a company called parliament, they are like individual small businesses of their own and manage their own offices and employ their own staff. it is more complicated to manage as a place than say the bbc, a restaurant, and other business. not to defend people behaving badly, that is terrible, butjust behaving badly, that is terrible, but just to understand behaving badly, that is terrible, butjust to understand why it may be parliament seems a bit out of touch with other workplaces. it is a slightly strange place. i with other workplaces. it is a slightly strange place.- with other workplaces. it is a slightly strange place. i will quote ou on slightly strange place. i will quote you

probably don't need to be told that the cost of your groceries is going up — in fact, new figures this morning show that households face paying almost £300 a year more forfood shopping. so how are price rises impacting? nina's at a supermarket in chester to tell us more. always got my eye out for a bargain. i am at iceland in chester. iceland is nothing if not subtle on branding. look around, save on brands, save on bargains. supermarkets are trying to say at the moment look, we recognise you are feeling the squeeze. we want to help you out. let's look. inflation is at 7%. overall things are costing more. a30 year high. last month retailfigures took a more. a30 year high. last month retail figures took a hit. these figures this morning give the clue as to how we are behaving differently when it comes to spending in supermarkets. food inflation hit 5.9%. on average, over the space of the year, your annual spend would go up by £271. that is a lot but set to go higher when the following months are taken into account. this is interesting. in the run—up to easter, we decided to treat ourselves but what was noticeable within that spend was we went for premium home brands rather than premium bans are bargain home brands. that is the shift we are seeing in the way we spend and we will see more of that. how are supermarkets responding to the fact we are feeling the pinch? let's speak more now to richard walker, managing director of iceland foods. it is my belief the cost of living crisis, it it is my belief the cost of living crisis, it is it is my belief the

quote the big _ energy bills but not business. wm. quote the big number about profits last year but we carry debt as a business and have obligations. we are not taking dividends. we need to reinvest and accept a world of lower profitability because we have such a cost headwind coming, everything from fuel, minimum wage, inflationary pressure on commodities and energy bills inflationary pressure on commodities and energy hills which are doubling and energy hills which are doubling and tripling this year alone. business is not an endless bunch that can for ever soak up inflationary pressure. unfortunately, you are seeing now food inflation in the market. figures said your energy bills had gone from a0 million to over 140 million. something businesses are taking on. do we need to get used to this and accept the days of bargain basement food are over? irate this and accept the days of bargain basement food are over?— basement food are over? we will alwa st basement food are over? we

because we are in a position to do so. food has been cheaper long time. maybe it will get more expensive. that is not a problem if real wages and productivity increase at the same time but the real problem comes if those things are not happening and stuff is getting more expensive. that is where you feel the squeeze for consumers. that is the message _ feel the squeeze for consumers. that is the message from iceland and all of the supermarkets. the reality is they can get competitive with some lines but it cost them more to get food on the shelves so we have to accept the pot of money will not go as far this year. thank you very much. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. i will let you introduce this. normally i have a chat on text with gethin. you say i have

hospital says it hopes to resume operations within the next six months, but in the mean time, patients will be transferred to fertility units at imperial college london and barts nhs trust. some of london's airports say they saw some of the biggest falls in passenger numbers last year due to the pandemic. southend, gatwick and london city airports all saw passenger numbers fall more than 85% from levels seen before covid. the trade body that oversees airports said the uk sites had suffered more than their european counterparts due to tighter travel restrictions. scientists are carrying out a study of hundreds of former professional footballers, to understand more about the link between ex—players and dementia. a team from imperial college london will use imaging and a range of tests to compare brain health in former players and the general population. the oldest surviving complete map of london has gone on display as part of a new exhibition at the london metropolitan archives. civitas londinium provides a bird's—eye view of london from the the tudor period. only three prints of it, all dating back to 1633, are known to exist. what is extraordinary about the map is the detail. we see detail of the city itself and the buildings, but we also see detail of life in london and people. so we see arches in the fields to the north of the city then we see the detail of the city wall, which is obviously long since gone, and the city gates. if you're heading out on public transport this morning, this is how tfl services are looking right now. there's a few delays on the tubes this morning. so give yourself a little extrra time if you are using those. onto the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. yesterday we had our first measurable rain in quite some time, just across one or two spots across london. it wasn't a huge amount and today it is going to be dry again. a chilly start this morning, low single figures to start the day but plenty of sunshine. a bit more cloud through the afternoon, the wind finally has fallen a little lighter. but temperatures only managing around 16 celsius in the sunshine. overnight tonight, we will see a bit more cloud, still some clear spells but thicker cloud moves through and underneath that the temperature perhaps not quite so chilly as last night. the minimum between three and six celsius. for tomorrow, we have still got that little bit of cloud in the morning but high pressure is very much in charge. so it's staying largely dry throughout. we are just chasing cloud amounts around. so for tomorrow some bright and sunny spells, the wind again fairly gentle, north—easterly though. so it is going to feel chilly out in the east along the thames estuary. but temperatures tomorrow around 13 celsius, so perhaps feeling a little chillier. we have got plenty of dry weather in the forecast, maybe one or two light showers but again no significant rain and night time temperatures still feeling chilly. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to sally and dan. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent

and lip fillers, but how can we be sure they're as safe and strictly regulated as possible? that's the question mps will be looking into today, as part of a wider investigation into the links between body image and mental health. we can speak now to sharon bennett, from the association of cosmetic nurses, and to the former reality tv star charlie king, who suffers from body dysmorphia and decided to get a nose job last year. good morning to both. i could come to you first of all charlie, we have just said that very openly you suffer from just said that very openly you sufferfrom body just said that very openly you suffer from body dysmorphia, just said that very openly you sufferfrom body dysmorphia, can just said that very openly you suffer from body dysmorphia, can you explain to us what

_ how it affects you? it means that i became very obsessed with - how it affects you? it means that i became very obsessed with my . how it affects you? it means that i l became very obsessed with my body image, especially over the last ten years, very critical, always trying to achieve the unachievable, setting high standards for myself, thinking i needed to look a certain way. checking the mirror obsessively, thinking that i needed to change. and it led to cosmetic surgery in the last couple of years which did not go to plan and has left me feeling a lot worse, to be honest. give us an idea of, in terms of the pressure that he felt, did that come from other people? did it come from adverts did it come from tv, social media? it adverts did it come from tv, social media? . . adverts

the apps where you can alter yourself, and then you can get an understanding of what you might look like if you were to tweak here and there. and when you start putting those pictures out and getting the validation and the likes and the interest on that version of you, it becomes quite an obsessive thing that you keep going after, and then i'm going to make this my reality. i went to the next

agreed that i was going to be improved. and then unfortunately it didn't go to plan, and the aftermath of that has been very damaging my mental health. and what is so important is especially from the social media angle and the filters, when you go into a surgeon thinking that you can achieve that, you need to know what risks are involved. we need to know what the outcomes could be because if you look at someone like me who did not get the outcome that he wanted, trying to live with that he wanted, trying to live with that afterwards and trying to find out how to navigate life after and see what i can do next is a very difficult thing. but i think if there was more guidance and more of an analysis and support groups, that is what we need to make sure that if we are going to embark on
