lizzie greenwood hughes is there for us. once again, willie mullins has triumphed in the sport ofjump racing at the cheltenham gold cup, for in six years for the irish maestro and two in succession although his margin of victory was not as great as last year, this was our ghibli a more impressive performance from the horse because the ground is testing soft but heavy and places for more than 30 years where the word heavy has been in the official going here at cheltenham. but he saw off is hugely talented competitors, so it was another poor day for the bookmakers here, but a great day and

thank you very much. now let's get some reaction to the european champions league draw. manchester city manager pep guardiola says getting the iii—time winners real madrid in the quarter finals isn't ideal. it's the third season in a row that the two sides will play each other in the knockout stages of the tournament. city beat real last year en route to winning the trophy, but lost to them two years ago. we don't have another option. yeah, it looks like a little bit of a tradition, three years in a row, playing the king of the competition, winning 14 champions league. but it is what it is, hopefully we can arrive in good form in a few weeks —— it still a few weeks before the first game in madrid, and yet, we will see. well, if city win that tie — waiting in the semi finals could be their premier league title rivals arsenal or bayern munich. that's one of the other quarter finals. elsewhere, paris saint—germain will need to beat barcelona in the last eight — and then either atletico madrid or borussia dortmund, if they're to reach the final at wembley on june 1st. the quarterfinal first legs will be played on 9—10 april, with the second legs a week later. in the europa league, the favourites liverpool will take on italian side atalanta — with the winner coming up against either benfica or marseille in the final four whilst there's an all—italian quarter final as ac milan take on roma, and bundesliga leaders bayer leverkusen will play west ham. and in the europa conference league, aston villa's reward for thrashing ajax sees them face lille — the winner taking on olympiakos or fenerbahce in the semi finals. the other quarter finals sees club brugges face paok and viktoria plzen against fiorentina. rory mcelroy will tee off shortly at golf�*s players championship after sharing the lead with xander schauffele at seven under after round one. round two has seen fitzpatrick shooting up the leader boards, some brilliant play on the front lines so i'm charging the contention, hitting seven birdies in total to finishes around nine under the currently sit second. and that's all your support for now, back to you, matthew. another £5 million by businessman frank hester on top of the 10 million he's already donated. mr hester has been widely accused of racism after saying the mp diane abbott made him want to hate all black women and she should be shot. the boss apologised for what he described as making rude comments about the former labour mp, but said his remarks had nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin. here's hannah miller. learning to use a camera on a visit to the university of sunderland, the chancellor and prime minister can't escape the glare of scrutiny over donations to the party. this week, they said that comments made by one of the conservatives' biggest donors were racist, but now it's emerged that they may have received a further £5 million from the same man — a claim that the chancellor didn't deny. we follow all the right procedures when it comes to declaring our donations. and when the time is right, we will declare any donations that we have received recently. frank hester donated £10 million to the conservative party last year. that's a fifth of all donations. any further money wouldn't need to be declared until april and published by the electoral commission injune. mr hester has apologised for what he described as rude comments about the mp diane abbott, after it was reported that he said that seeing her on tv made him "want to hate all black women" and "she should be shot". on a visit to inspect water quality in greater manchester today, the liberal democrat leader took the opportunity to suggest that the conservative party should stop mr hester�*s money from flowing into its account. i think the conservative party should hang its head in shame if it doesn't give these donations back, and i think anyone in the election who receives a leaflet from the conservatives should throw it in the bin, because they know it was paid for by someone who said in a conversation that an mp should be shot. that is a complete disgrace. and if there were any doubt that the election campaigning is ramping up, this is how the labour party chose to mark rishi sunak ruling out a general election on may 2nd. chicken squawks the prime minister will be hoping that the noise about his party's funding doesn't roll on until polling day. hannah miller, bbc news, westminster. let's speak to melissa sigodo, who is community reporter for the daily mirror. on that central point of a lot of focus today, which is that extra £5 million, do you think the conservative party has to say yes or no, in terms of what they have received that donation? i no, in terms of what they have received that donation?- received that donation? i don't think it really _ received that donation? i don't think it really matters - received that donation? i don't think it really matters at - received that donation? i don't think it really matters at this i think it really matters at this point, the fact that they have already received money, if they continue to receive money, it's irrelevant. the fact of the matter is they need to get that money back, and that's how many people feel at this moment in time. in and that's how many people feel at this moment in time.— this moment

the racist - comments, has he? he has not- apologised for the racist comments, and in fact it seems like tory spin that they are trying to create this narrative now where an apology has given, but actually one hasn't been given. and that seems to be the trend here when it comes to gas lighting the nation, especially gas knighting —— gas lighting ethnic minorities into believing something is happening when that actually isn't the reality. we heard our prime minister say racism doesn't exist in this country, but here we see that a man who is very close to the conservative party has made racist remarks, so surely that can't be true. ., . _, , racist remarks, so surely that can't be true. ., ., u, , be true. you are community reporter for the daily — be true. you are community reporter

were absolutely traumatised, angered, and fearful because when you look at what this man said, calling for genocide essentially, that nothing being done until 48 hours for them to say "it is racist but we will keep the money," people are just beside themselves, they can't believe this is happening — at the same time, it's not surprising because this is something that often happens with black women. we are not protected or seen, and we are not heard. and from what we saw during pmqs, diane abbott stood up 46 times and didn't even get a chance to talk about the situation that very much concerned her —— 36 times. tell about the situation that very much concerned her -- 36 times. tell me more about — concerned her -- 36 times. tell me more about why _ concerned her -- 36 times. tell

the most hate and backlash, and it just doesn't stop, it's become normalised for her to be treated in such a way. so if anyone has anything they want to take out, they take it out on her. and i think it's a sad indictment that the first asian prime minister refused to give that money back after a man called for the first female mp to be shot dust first black female mp to be shot. i think it's a

government projects, says only a fraction of more than ten billions of pounds of levelling up money has been spent on projects, and ministers can't provide a compelling example of what the scheme's delivered so far. let's speak to sarah owen, labour mp and a member of the public accounts committee. welcome to the programme. the committee said they were astonished by these findings. just tell us what you've just gathered dust discovered here. you've 'ust gathered dust discovered here. ., you've 'ust gathered dust discovered here. . ., ., , here. there are quite a few open mouths during _

levelling up, because given this was the government's suppose it flagship policy, to hear that less than 10% of the funds have actually left the department's front door and to find out that projects were under way was actually just feasibility studies, it's pretty shocking and a shocking use of public finances at a time when local government is crying out for that. tfi time when local government

delays of the shovel readiness of the project. they had unforeseen delays they sat around planning permission, which we all pushed back and said should have been picked up at the application stage, but of course as well, we've had liz trust and kwasi kwarteng and the economic decisions they've made, which meant holding houses were higher as well as borrowing test liz truss. actually it's not an

with a handful of examples, i think, small projects in local areas — and they all have impact within that local community, but there is no conversation as to whether that was exactly what the communities themselves wanted or would have prioritised. and at the time when public finances are so stretched, when we had local authorities really stretched, probably £1000 each trying to put these bids in for levelling up bids and not always being successful, whether that was a useful way to spend public money. and of course, during the delays we've had high inflation, so it's meant that the costs have also gone up meant that the costs have also gone up for some of these projects. a final thought because, as you said at the start, this was supposed to be an absolutely central plank of conservative policy — over the years we've had things like the big society idea, they almost turned out to be nothing more than catchphrases. is the fear that it is a similar thing here? catchphrases. is the fear that it is a similarthing here? i catchphrases. is the fear that it is a similar thing here?— a similar thing here? i think what we heard in _ a similar thing here? i think what we heard

projects, do we know whether any of these projects have actually made a positive influence in their local areas? has it done what it said in terms of region inequality? we are still seeing that increase in terms of those projects that were promised, people are still waiting. so i think in terms of whether levelling up has been a success or not, so far the report shows, no. we been a success

months old from being brought into the uk. it was first pledged by the government more than two—and—a—half years ago. it has the support of several major animal charities but organisations which rescue dogs from abroad have some concerns. helen catt reports. just a few weeks ago, five—month—old puppies zonic, leo and togo were in romania and life was looking very different. puppies of that age are very vulnerable in romania. the shelters aren't heated, they're not lighted. they don't have regular veterinary care. no dog over there receives prompt veterinary care, so it is significantly riskier. rachel's not—for—profit dog rescue has brought them to merseyside with their mum magda. she says all the dogs which she imports are jabbed and tested for diseases. she thinks the law does need tightening, but under proposed changes, these puppies wouldn't yet be able to be in the uk, and that worries her. i believe that there is a need for change. what i would hate is for hard—working, not—for—profit rescues who are desperately needed within the countries that they operate to fall foul of that, and those dogs to suffer. several major animal welfare charities do support raising the minimum age to six months and have been campaigning for it for years. this bill is really going to help to crack down on the age at which puppies can be brought into this country, meaning they're not being taken away from their mothers too early. they're not being exposed at such a young age to so many illnesses and so many potential things that could cause behavioural problems later in life. and it also means that it's making them less marketable to the people who are exploiting their cute puppy charms. the proposed new law will also close a loophole on mutilations like ear cropping. it's currently perfectly legal to import an animal which has been mutilated like this in a way that would be against the law here. the government first promised to make these changes in 2021, but dropped its own legislation last year. it is expected to back this bill, which is being brought by a conservative mp. we really are a nation of animal lovers, a parliament of pet lovers, and this legislation will ensure that the uk is leading the world when it comes to animal welfare. it's still not completely guaranteed that the bans will make it into law before an election, but animal welfare charities hope this may finally move the long promised crackdown on those who import puppies without care for their welfare a step closer. helen catt, bbc news. violent online content is of him that's unavoidable for children in the uk, with many being exposed while still in from her school, according to a new ofcom report. the regulator is urging social media companies to strengthen child protection on their platforms. that's quite a lot. but when children are on their smartphones, their innocence can soon be compromised. ofcom say out of the 247 children it spoke to, all of them had encountered a range of violence, including gaming content, verbal disk democrats cremation and fighting. some as young as eight years old had seen these posts pop up years old had seen these posts pop

research said they wanted the internet to be a safe place to be, but many had to rely on themselves to keep it that way rather than the adults in charge. now when a child has been exposed to violence, it's too late, it cannot be unseen. esther knows that all too well — her daughter briand i was murdered after her killers are i would like to see phones that are made suitable for young people, and i really think that if this was in place before them, this could've prevented what happened to briand a. kids are so much more tech savvy, and i wasn't aware of what she was looking at online. tiara and

tournament. patrick gearey reports. this is not a horror movie, but a tennis match under attack. a swarm of presumably uninvited bees flash—mobbing the indian wells quarterfinal... play cannot continue, play will pause for a while here now. ..and sending tennis's young superstar carlos alcaraz into a rapid retreat. these bees were no respecters of ranking — carlos was stung on his forehead! i tried to stay away, away from from them. but it was impossible, as i said, stuck in my hair, so i was running out. i am a little bit afraid of them. the bees had seemingly been attracted by a spider—cam — the camera which hovers over court. and so into this chaos came a man named lance, official tournament beekeeper. not all heroes wear capes! this one didn't even wear protective clothing. thanks to some high—stakes vacuuming, lance davis removed the bees so they could be released later. lance, fast becoming a celebrity, was called back for a second round of pest control and the match could resume. it was eventually won by alcaraz. .. ..partly thanks to the net. lance didn't even need that! patrick gearey, bbc news. let's speak to russell fuller. what a bonkers story this is, russell! you were there, what was it like? bearin you were there, what was it like? bear in mind what's been happening in court over the last week, this is the story people are member from indian wells 2024. i was behind glass in the bbc, terry bock, —— bbc box, carlos alcaraz was stone, he admitted he is scared of bees, maybe he's had some bad expenses in the past. that it was the way they all stuck to this spider cam, this camera that sweeps across the court to give people watching at home the best panoramic views. and it did take our hero of the day, our beekeeper, the tournament's resident beekeeper, the tournament's resident beekeeper to suck them out with the vacuum, then release them later off—site into the wild. he became quite a hero as we were hearing there, after appearing on court, he walked back to the stands and he was high—fiving people, posing for selfies. he enjoyed his moment and after an hour 40 minutes, the match was able to resume. i after an hour 40

watching that report and i hadn't released i'd seen it at the tournament actually has a beekeeper — so presumably they had something like this before, haven't they? hide like this before, haven't they? we are told like this before, haven't they? - are told the beekeeper works with the tournament on a year—round basis, and actually he's been out for — five times already to deal with minor issues on the site. and i think there are two reasons we are told, i'm absolutely no expert in this area by bees might be a problem this area by bees might be a problem this time of year —— 4—5 times. it is march in the southern california desert, so spring comes here quicker than other parts of the world. lots of trees are in bloom, there's plenty of blossom, and the other reason is that bees are attracted by the vibrations of the sound system, and that's another reason why they might congregate towards indian wells as they did in this case, toward centre court, which is making more noise than any other court. just briefly, he laughed it off but i suppose perhaps you might not have had he not one when he eventually got back on court?— had he not one when he eventually got back on court?

from today's verified life, see you next time. hello. we've seen some cloud and some rain across most parts of the uk today, but that cloud has slowly but surely been breaking. and, as the skies continue to clear overnight tonight, it's going to get quite cold — in fact, it'll be a frosty start to the weekend for some. by the end of the weekend, though, we will flip our fortunes, it will feel much milder. along the way, we'll see some spells of rain, but also some spells of sunshine. so, we've had quite a lot of cloud today, showers or longer spells of rain, but all tending to drift away eastwards — and notice this clear gap. so, through tonight, largely clear, starry skies, bit of cloud just plaguing these eastern coasts for a time. 1—2 showers in northern scotland, cloud, and some rain into the southwest of england by the end of the night. but under those clear skies, there'll be a few mist patches. temperatures will drop away around or below freezing in places. so, yes, a cold and frosty start to saturday morning underneath this slice of clear weather, this ridge of high pressure. however, it won't last long because our next frontal system will already be approaching from the west. that will bring cloud, it'll bring outbreaks of rain but, as it moves its way northwards and eastwards, it will introduce ever—milder air. that process of mild air wafting northwards continues through saturday and on into saturday night, actually. but for saturday daytime, cloud and some splashes of rain spitting across western parts — northern ireland likely to see the heaviest of the rain, then getting into southwest scotland. further north and east, holding on to some increasingly hazy sunshine. these are the temperatures by the middle of tomorrow afternoon. but for some spots in the north of the uk, those temperatures will rise even further through saturday night — this frontal system bringing some quite heavy rain eastwards, with that feed of south—westerly winds continuing. so let me show you the temperatures for sunday morning — compared with saturday morning, starting on a frosty note, sunday morning, starting in double figures for quite a few places. there will be a band of rain to clear away from eastern parts, then we'll see the cloud breaking to some extent to give some spells of sunshine, scattered showers out towards the west. but temperatures on sunday afternoon — northeast scotland, up to 15—16 celsius, it may be that eastern england gets to 16—17. very mild indeed, even feeling warm in any sunshine. into next week, still some changeable conditions, rain at times, some spells of sunshine. but broadly speaking, we're expecting it to stay mild. at six — the national crime agency is brought in to help invesigate a funeral directors in hull. police have received more than 1,500 calls from people worried about their relatives' ashes. we have been talking to families caught up in what police have described as a truly horrific situation. death rates from alcohol, drugs or suicide are the worst in blackpool — but one project is trying to change that, we'll find out how. pouring sea water on to arctic ice — scientests are trying to discover if it will stop it melting. and how a swarm of bees halted this match and sent the world number two running off court. and coming up on bbc news, back to back gold cups for galopin

lizzie greenwood hughes is there for us. once again, willie mullins has triumphed in the sport ofjump racing at the cheltenham gold cup, for in six years for the irish maestro and two in succession although his margin of victory was not as great as last year, this was our ghibli a more impressive performance from the horse because the ground is testing soft but heavy and places for more than 30 years where the word heavy has been in the official going here at cheltenham. but he saw off is hugely talented competitors, so it was another poor day for the bookmakers here, but a great day and great week for the cheltenham festival's most successful winning trainer, willie mullins. here he is speaking to laura scott. it mullins. here he is speaking to laura scott-— laura scott. it has been

the irish but mixed week for british jockeys and trainers, and there'll be plenty of questions being asked this week as to what they can stop the prevent dust do to stop this gap widening and how they can keep the good british courses and owners in britain so they can have more british success at the cheltenham festival. . ~ british success at the cheltenham festival. ., ~ , ., , festival. lizzie, thank you very much. now let's get some reaction to the european champions league draw. manchester city manager pep guardiola says getting the iii—time winners real madrid in the quarter finals isn't ideal. it's the third season in a row that the two sides will play each other in the knockout stages of the tournament. city beat real last year en route to winning the trophy, but lost to them two years ago. we don't have another option. yeah, it looks like a little bit of a tradition, three years in a row, playing the king of the competition, winning 14 champions league. but it is what it is, hopefully we can arrive in good form in a few weeks —— it still a few weeks before the first game in madrid, and yet, we will see. well, if city win that tie — waiting in the semi finals could be their premier league title rivals arsenal or bayern munich. that's one of the other quarter finals. elsewhere, paris saint—germain will need to beat barcelona in the last eight — and then either atletico madrid or borussia dortmund, if they're to reach the final at wembley on june 1st. the quarterfinal first legs will be played on 9—10 april, with the second legs a week later. in the europa league, the favourites liverpool will take on italian side atalanta — with the winner coming up against either benfica or marseille in the final four whilst there's an all—italian quarter final as ac milan take on roma, and bundesliga leaders bayer leverkusen will play west ham. and in the europa conference league, aston villa's reward for thrashing ajax sees them face lille — the winner taking on olympiakos or fenerbahce in the semi finals. the other quarter finals sees club brugges face paok and viktoria plzen against fiorentina. rory mcelroy will tee off shortly at golf�*s players championship after sharing the lead with xander schauffele at seven under after round one. round two has seen fitzpatrick shooting up the leader boards, some brilliant play on the front lines so i'm charging the contention, hitting seven birdies in total to finishes around nine under the currently sit second. and that's all your support for now, back to you, matthew. another £5 million by businessman frank hester on top of the 10 million he's already donated. mr hester has been widely accused of racism after saying the mp diane abbott made him want to hate all black women and she should be shot. the boss apologised for what he described as making rude comments about the former labour mp, but said his remarks had nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin. here's hannah miller. learning to use a camera on a visit to the university of sunderland, the chancellor and prime minister can't escape the glare of scrutiny over donations to the party. this week, they said that comments made by one of the conservatives' biggest donors were racist, but now it's emerged that they may have received a further £5 million from the same man — a claim that the chancellor didn't deny. we follow all the right procedures when it comes to declaring our donations. and when the time is right, we will declare any donations that we have received recently. frank hester donated £10 million to the conservative party last year. that's a fifth of all donations. any further money wouldn't need to be declared until april and published by the electoral commission injune. mr hester has apologised for what he described as rude comments about the mp diane abbott, after it was reported that he said that seeing her on tv made him "want to hate all black women" and "she should be shot". on a visit to inspect water quality in greater manchester today, the liberal democrat leader took the opportunity to suggest that the conservative party should stop mr hester�*s money from flowing into its account. i think the conservative party should hang its head in shame if it doesn't give these donations back, and i think anyone in the election who receives a leaflet from the conservatives should throw it in the bin, because they know it was paid for by someone who said in a conversation that an mp should be shot. that is a complete disgrace. and if there were any doubt that the election campaigning is ramping up, this is how the labour party chose to mark rishi sunak ruling out a general election on may 2nd. chicken squawks the prime minister will be hoping that the noise about his party's funding doesn't roll on until polling day. hannah miller, bbc news, westminster. let's speak to melissa sigodo, who is community reporter for the daily mirror. on that central point of a lot of focus today, which is that extra £5 million, do you think the conservative party has to say yes or no, in terms of what they have received that donation? i no, in terms of what they have received that donation?- received that donation? i don't think it really _ received that donation? i don't think it really matters - received that donation? i don't think it really matters at - received that donation? i don't think it really matters at this i think it really matters at this point, the fact that they have already received money, if they continue to receive money, it's irrelevant. the fact of the matter is they need to get that money back, and that's how many people feel at this moment in time. in and that's how many people feel at this moment in time.— this moment

the racist - comments, has he? he has not- apologised for the racist comments, and in fact it seems like tory spin that they are trying to create this narrative now where an apology has given, but actually one hasn't been given. and that seems to be the trend here when it comes to gas lighting the nation, especially gas knighting —— gas lighting ethnic minorities into believing something is happening when that actually isn't the reality. we heard our prime minister say racism doesn't exist in this country, but here we see that a man who is very close to the conservative party has made racist remarks, so surely that can't be true. ., . _, , racist remarks, so surely that can't be true. ., ., u, , be true. you are community reporter for the daily — be true. you are community reporter

were absolutely traumatised, angered, and fearful because when you look at what this man said, calling for genocide essentially, that nothing being done until 48 hours for them to say "it is racist but we will keep the money," people are just beside themselves, they can't believe this is happening — at the same time, it's not surprising because this is something that often happens with black women. we are not protected or seen, and we are not heard. and from what we saw during pmqs, diane abbott stood up 46 times and didn't even get a chance to talk about the situation that very much concerned her —— 36 times. tell about the situation that very much concerned her -- 36 times. tell me more about — concerned her -- 36 times. tell me more about why _ concerned her -- 36 times. tell

the most hate and backlash, and it just doesn't stop, it's become normalised for her to be treated in such a way. so if anyone has anything they want to take out, they take it out on her. and i think it's a sad indictment that the first asian prime minister refused to give that money back after a man called for the first female mp to be shot dust first black female mp to be shot. i think it's a

government projects, says only a fraction of more than ten billions of pounds of levelling up money has been spent on projects, and ministers can't provide a compelling example of what the scheme's delivered so far. let's speak to sarah owen, labour mp and a member of the public accounts committee. welcome to the programme. the committee said they were astonished by these findings. just tell us what you've just gathered dust discovered here. you've 'ust gathered dust discovered here. ., you've 'ust gathered dust discovered here. . ., ., , here. there are quite a few open mouths during _ here. there are quite a few open mouths during the _ here. there are quite a few open mouths during the evidence i here. there are quite a few open i mouths during the evidence sessions around levelling up, because given this was the government's suppose it flagship policy, to hear that less than 10% of the funds have actually left the department's front door and to find out that projects were under way was actually just feasibility studies, it's pretty shocking and a shocking use of public finances at a time when local government is crying out for that. tfi time when local government is crying out forthat— out for that. 71 pro'ects though were supposed _ out for that. 71 pro'ects though were supposed to i out for that. 71 projects though were supposed to be _ out for that. 71 projects though were supposed to be shovel. out for that. 71 projects though i were supposed to be shovel ready - were supposed to be shovel ready — so what has been the delay, what's the holdup here? we so what has been the delay, what's the holdup here?— so what has been the delay, what's the holdup here? we did question the dela s of the holdup here? we did question the delays of the — the holdup here? we did question the delays of the shovel— the holdup here? we did question the delays of the shovel readiness - the holdup here? we did question the delays of the shovel readiness of i delays of the shovel readiness of the project. they had unforeseen delays they sat around planning permission, which we all pushed back and said should have been picked up at the application stage, but of course as well, we've had liz trust and kwasi kwarteng and the economic decisions they've made, which meant holding houses were higher as well as borrowing test liz truss. actually it's not an excuse further down the line either.— down the line either. reading the details, a tenth _ down the line either. reading the details, a tenth of— down the line either. reading the details, a tenth of

his department tojust bring committee asked michael gove and his department to just bring forward examples of what they had done and how they had done it. what did they actually produce? the? how they had done it. what did they actually produce?— how they had done it. what did they actually produce? they came forward with a handful _ actually produce? they came forward with a handful of _ actually produce? they came forward with a handful of examples, - actually produce? they came forward with a handful of examples, i - actually produce? they came forward with a handful of examples, i think, | with a handful of examples, i think, small projects in local areas — and they all have impact within that local community, but there is no conversation as to whether that was exactly what the communities themselves wanted or would have prioritised. and at the time when public finances are so stretched, when we had local authorities really stretched, probably £1000 each trying to put these bids in for levelling up bids and not always being successful, whether that was a useful way to spend public money. and of course, during the delays we've had high inflation, so it's meant that the costs have also gone up meant that the costs have also gone up for some of these projects. a final thought because, as you said at the start, this was supposed to be an absolutely central plank of conservative policy — over the years we've had things like the big society idea, they almost turned out to be nothing more than catchphrases. is the fear that it is a similar thing here? catchphrases. is the fear that it is a similarthing here? i catchphrases. is the fear that it is a similar thing here?— a similar thing here? i think what we heard in _ a similar thing here? i think what we heard

a similar thing here? i think what i we heard in terms of the evidence at the committee given to us and the written evidence, it shows that the proof is in the putting— have we seen any of these projects, do we know whether any of these projects have actually made a positive influence in their local areas? has it done what it said in terms of region inequality? we are still seeing that increase in terms of those projects that were promised, people are still waiting. so i think in terms of whether levelling up has been a success or not, so far the report shows, no. we been a success or not, so far the report shows. no— been a success or not, so far the report shows, no. we will see in the cominu report shows, no. we will see in the coming months _ report shows, no. we will see in

is accelerated. sarah, thanks for joining us live on the programme. thank you. mps have been debating a bill to crack down on puppy smuggling. a ban would stop puppies and kittens younger than six months old from being brought into the uk. it was first pledged by the government more than two—and—a—half years ago. it has the support of several major animal charities but organisations which rescue dogs from abroad have some concerns. helen catt reports. just a few weeks ago, five—month—old puppies zonic, leo and togo were in romania and life was looking very different. puppies of that age are very vulnerable in romania. the shelters aren't heated, they're not lighted. they don't have regular veterinary care. no dog over there receives prompt veterinary care, so it is significantly riskier. rachel's not—for—profit dog rescue has brought them to merseyside with their mum magda. she says all the dogs which she imports are jabbed and tested for diseases. she thinks the law does need tightening, but under proposed changes, these puppies wouldn't yet be able to be in the uk, and that worries her. i believe that there is a need for change. what i would hate is for hard—working, not—for—profit rescues who are desperately needed within the countries that they operate to fall foul of that, and those dogs to suffer. several major animal welfare charities do support raising the minimum age to six months and have been campaigning for it for years. this bill is really going to help to crack down on the age at which puppies can be brought into this country, meaning they're not being taken away from their mothers too early. they're not being exposed at such a young age to so many illnesses and so many potential things that could cause behavioural problems later in life. and it also means that it's making them less marketable to the people who are exploiting their cute puppy charms. the proposed new law will also close a loophole on mutilations like ear cropping. it's currently perfectly legal to import an animal which has been mutilated like this in a way that would be against the law here. the government first promised to make these changes in 2021, but dropped its own legislation last year. it is expected to back this bill, which is being brought by a conservative mp. we really are a nation of animal lovers, a parliament of pet lovers, and this legislation will ensure that the uk is leading the world when it comes to animal welfare. it's still not completely guaranteed that the bans will make it into law before an election, but animal welfare charities hope this may finally move the long promised crackdown on those who import puppies without care for their welfare a step closer. helen catt, bbc news. violent online content is of him that's unavoidable for children in the uk, with many being exposed while still in from her school, according to a new ofcom report. the regulator is urging social media companies to strengthen child protection on their platforms. that's quite a lot. but when children are on their smartphones, their innocence can soon be compromised. ofcom say out of the 247 children it spoke to, all of them had encountered a range of violence, including gaming content, verbal disk democrats cremation and fighting. some as young as eight years old had seen these posts pop up years old had seen these posts pop up on social media, video sharing and messaging sites, many before the minimum age requirements.— minimum age requirements. children should not feel _ minimum age requirements. children should not

from this research, a lot of the children didn't know and felt they had no control over it. they also said they had no trust in the reporting systems on social media platforms. the children in this research said they wanted the internet to be a safe place to be, but many had to rely on themselves to keep it that way rather than the adults in charge. now when a child has been exposed to violence, it's too late, it cannot be unseen. esther knows that all too well — her daughter briand i was murdered after her killers are i would like to see phones that are made suitable for young people, and i really think that if this was in place before them, this could've prevented what happened to briand a. kids are so much more tech savvy, and i wasn't aware of what she was looking at online. tiara and

grim reading, but there recurring theme here was that children's lack of trust and confidence in reporting these problems online. let's return to the incredible story from the indian wells tennis tournament. patrick gearey reports. this is not a horror movie, but a tennis match under attack. a swarm of presumably uninvited bees flash—mobbing the indian wells quarterfinal... play cannot continue, play will pause for a while here now. ..and sending tennis's young superstar carlos alcaraz into a rapid retreat. these bees were no respecters of ranking — carlos was stung on his forehead! i tried to stay away, away from from them. but it was impossible, as i said, stuck in my hair, so i was running out. i am a little bit afraid of them. the bees had seemingly been attracted by a spider—cam — the camera which hovers over court. and so into this chaos came a man named lance, official tournament beekeeper. not all heroes wear capes! this one didn't even wear protective clothing. thanks to some high—stakes vacuuming, lance davis removed the bees so they could be released later. lance, fast becoming a celebrity, was called back for a second round of pest control and the match could resume. it was eventually won by alcaraz. .. ..partly thanks to the net. lance didn't even need that! patrick gearey, bbc news. let's speak to russell fuller. what a bonkers story this is, russell! you were there, what was it like? bearin you were there, what was it like? bear in mind what's been happening in court over the last week, this is the story people are member from indian wells 2024. i was behind glass in the bbc, terry bock, —— bbc box, carlos alcaraz was stone, he admitted he is scared of bees, maybe he's had some bad expenses in the past. that it was the way they all stuck to this spider cam, this camera that sweeps across the court to give people watching at home the best panoramic views. and it did take our hero of the day, our beekeeper, the tournament's resident beekeeper, the tournament's resident beekeeper to suck them out with the vacuum, then release them later off—site into the wild. he became quite a hero as we were hearing there, after appearing on court, he walked back to the stands and he was high—fiving people, posing for selfies. he enjoyed his moment and after an hour 40 minutes, the match was able to resume. i after an hour 40

watching that report and i hadn't released i'd seen it at the tournament actually has a beekeeper — so presumably they had something like this before, haven't they? hide like this before, haven't they? we are told like this before, haven't they? - are told the beekeeper works with the tournament on a year—round basis, and actually he's been out for — five times already to deal with minor issues on the site. and i think there are two reasons we are told, i'm absolutely no expert in this area by bees might be a problem this area by bees might be a problem this time of year —— 4—5 times. it is march in the southern california desert, so spring comes here quicker than other parts of the world. lots of trees are in bloom, there's plenty of blossom, and the other reason is that bees are attracted by the vibrations of the sound system, and that's another reason why they might congregate towards indian wells as they did in this case, toward centre court, which is making more noise than any other court. just briefly, he laughed it off but i suppose perhaps you might not have had he not one when he eventually got back on court?— had he not one when he eventually got back on court?

funny side of it and was able to concentrate not on the bees come up on the balls when the match resumed, and he played obstinately brilliantly. a winner in next to no time to spike that one hour 40 minute delay into the semifinals, and two wins away from defending the title he won 12 months ago.— title he won 12 months ago. russell, thanks so much. _ title he won 12 months ago. russell, thanks

don't think you've| thanks so much. i don't think you've ever done an interview where two thirds of it is talking about something entirely different to tennis, but you got there in the end. that's it from today's verified life, see you next time. hello. we've seen some cloud and some rain across most parts of the uk today, but that cloud has slowly but surely been breaking. and, as the skies continue to clear overnight tonight, it's going to get quite cold — in fact, it'll be a frosty start to the weekend for some. by the end of the weekend, though, we will flip our fortunes, it will feel much milder. along the way, we'll see some spells of rain, but also some spells of sunshine. so, we've had quite a lot of cloud today, showers or longer spells of rain, but all tending to drift away eastwards — and notice this clear gap. so, through tonight, largely clear, starry skies, bit of cloud just plaguing these eastern coasts for a time. 1—2 showers in northern scotland, cloud, and some rain into the southwest of england by the end of the night. but under those clear skies, there'll be a few mist patches. temperatures will drop away around or below freezing in places. so, yes, a cold and frosty start to saturday morning underneath this slice of clear weather, this ridge of high pressure. however, it won't last long because our next frontal system will already be approaching from the west. that will bring cloud, it'll bring outbreaks of rain but, as it moves its way northwards and eastwards, it will introduce ever—milder air. that process of mild air wafting northwards continues through saturday and on into saturday night, actually. but for saturday daytime, cloud and some splashes of rain spitting across western parts — northern ireland likely to see the heaviest of the rain, then getting into southwest scotland. further north and east, holding on to some increasingly hazy sunshine. these are the temperatures by the middle of tomorrow afternoon. but for some spots in the north of the uk, those temperatures will rise even further through saturday night — this frontal system bringing some quite heavy rain eastwards, with that feed of south—westerly winds continuing. so let me show you the temperatures for sunday morning — compared with saturday morning, starting on a frosty note, sunday morning, starting in double figures for quite a few places. there will be a band of rain to clear away from eastern parts, then we'll see the cloud breaking to some extent to give some spells of sunshine, scattered showers out towards the west. but temperatures on sunday afternoon — northeast scotland, up to 15—16 celsius, it may be that eastern england gets to 16—17. very mild indeed, even feeling warm in any sunshine. into next week, still some changeable conditions, rain at times, some spells of sunshine. but broadly speaking, we're expecting it to stay mild. at six — the national crime agency is brought in to help invesigate a funeral directors in hull. police have received more than 1,500 calls from people worried about their relatives' ashes. we have been talking to families caught up in what police have described as a truly horrific situation. death rates from alcohol, drugs or suicide are the worst in blackpool — but one project is trying to change that, we'll find out how. pouring sea water on to arctic ice — scientests are trying to discover if it will stop it melting. and how a swarm of bees halted this match and sent the world number two running off court. and coming up on bbc news, back to back gold cups for galopin des champs and for trainer willie mullins, who rents off his historic week at cheltenham in style. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. police say they have now identified the 35 bodies found at a funeral directors in hull that is at the centre of a major
