thermometer stop very traditional rural family to spend easter sunday the service here and easter sunday the service here and easter sunday. this year, it's been a turbulent year for the royal family with a cancer diagnosis of not only the king but the princess of wales. as to whether he will be well enough to be here, and has been taken as a positive sign. clearly, his medical team thought he could be here today. we know, of course, the princess of wales is recuperating with herfamily princess of wales is recuperating with her family after showing princess of wales is recuperating with

other, actually, that's the princess of wales had this abdominal surgery, this was mid—january, and that's the king had or will need to have treatment for benign prostate enlargement. it was after that time that he spent in the london clinic, it's when he came out of that that the cancer diagnosis was given. that is on the 5th of february. since then, and we should point out he has been carrying out his constitutional duties, he has been looking at the red boxes, having his regular audiences with a prime minister, but what he hasn't been doing as public facing duties. effectively, that is because he's going under cancer treatments, and anyone doing so will know the risk of infection, so don't want to mix with large groups of people. that's why it's seen as a positive sign, he is with a dean, moving into the chapel. we should this is a controllable environment. we are in a low large well ventilated building, the royalfamily sit in the choir, members of the public sits in the nave. it's close to home, so if there's any issues with a king getting tired, he is not far away. one could see why doctors might consider this would be a good initial engagement to undertake. we were talking earlier, does this mean he is now back on full public facing duties? absolutely not. this is going to be a managed introduction. it entirely depends on the advice of the doctors as to what he's capable of, what the risks will be, and i'm sure much to his frustration, he would love to be getting to meeting as many people as possible, a need to be done in a careful and controlled

easter sunday services that are being held today and all around the world, in fact. the sunday service was early in the day, and now, 1.3 catholic followers of course marking the christian world. we are expecting him to bring our international conflicts that are impacting around the world. he did appear yesterday, yesterday evening, and gave an easter vigil at the vatican. he did have a last—minute cancellation on good friday, part of the procession thatis good friday, part of the procession that is held, and of course questions about his health once more, particularly for the 87 year who suffered a winter of respiratory conditions. not in the best of health at the moment. he actually arrived early today in his wheelchair before he managed to stand up and then, again, back and his wheelchair on the pope built. this is him giving his next address right here. we will come back to vatican city, and possibly catch a few more minutes of the easter sunday mass. a car bomb attack in northern syria has killed at least seven people and injured many others. the white helmets group says two children were among those who died in the blast at a market in the town of azaz in aleppo province, which was crowded with shoppers. pro—turkish forces and their proxies control large areas of syria near the border with turkey. in turkey, where millions of people are voting in local elections, which could see president erdogan's party retaking control of key cities it lost in the last polls five years ago. most eagerly watched is the outcome in istanbul, which is home to nearly a fifth of the population. the current mayor there, ekrem imamoglu, is seen as mr erdogan's biggest challenger in decades. if he wins today, it would boost his standing as a potential rival to president erdogan in 2028. the elections are taking place against a backdrop of severe economic problems, including inflation of nearly 70%. earlier we heard from esra yalcinalp from bbc turkish for more on this. well, about 60 million people are expected to vote today in turkey. but we can say that all eyes will be in istanbul today, because of its significance for both the ruling justice and development party, ak party, the party of mr erdogan, as well as the opposition chp. turkey's economic and social powerhouse, istanbul, was ruled by ak party and its islamist predecessors for about 25 years, and then in 2019, the chp alliance won, with ekrem imamoglu as the mayor. and he is running up against the akp candidate, the former minister for the environment and urbanisation today, and ekrem imamoglu is viewed as president erdogan's biggest challenger that has come in decades, and if he manages to win today in istanbul, the opposition will have very high hopes for the upcoming presidential elections in 2028, and it is certainly where ekrem imamoglu is the person who will face mr erdogan to be the president. a lot of analysts are saying that this election is notjust an indication of what might happen in the next presidential elections, it is also very important for the opposition in turkey, which this year has been described as a somewhat split, because they have united in the past, analysts saying that it is under threat of an increasingly authoritarian regime, what is the political environment like at the moment in turkey, particularly with commentary on a possible constitutional amendment to mr erdogan staying in power? well, turkey is having these elections amid economic troubles that have been going on for some years now, with inflation getting up to 80% last year, and now with an official inflation of 67% last february, and ongoing huge loss of purchasing power in its citizens. so, the voters may also vote weighing up the government's economic performance in these local elections, although they are local elections, they carry a lot of implications for the general outcome of the country. and there is some discontent with the akp regarding the economic performance, like i mentioned, and one factor to watch will be the islamic new welfare party. so, this is going to be an alternative for those ones who don't want to vote for the opposition chp but want to show akp that they are getting uneasy with their politics. so, something to watch will be that. and in terms of the fairness of the elections, some pro opposition voices have voiced concern over election security, as the top ministers were in istanbul campaigning for the akp candidate for weeks against ekrem imamoglu. but regarding the propaganda leading up to the elections, we can say that the ruling akp party has an advantage in turkish elections, however, we must add that documented fraud cases on the election day are very rare. we are taking you to vatican

through their eyes, the suffering they have seen, how they would be asking about why there's so much death. in very stack terms, what is always an absurdity, and in itself, a defeat. he has always come through the conflict, been strong on the conflict, been strong on the conflict in gaza. he did mention of the conflicts around the world. he talked about ukraine, and the hope for an exchange of prisoners, but talked also about sudan and elsewhere. very strong, as i say, as he brings his message and blessing to an end here in vatican city. he is in front of around 50,000 people, very strong,

has changed, but certainly in terms of the rhetoric and tone on certain things, for example the role of women in the church, perhaps same—sex blessings. he has touched on that throughout his papacy, but in some sense, ensuring more and more his resolve to continue. a couple of weeks ago, he released his autobiography, and in it, he talked about the fact he would continue to do hisjob as long as he about the fact he would continue to do his job as long as he felt he could. they have, of course, been rumours that he would step down at some point because of ill health. he said he is going to find a way to continue until the end of his days in effect. unless, he really can carry out his duties, what he revealed in the bucket sets there is a resignation letter in a safe place ready for the moment where he doesn't have the faculties to be able to continue on, but said it is hence intention to do so. we able to continue on, but said it is hence intention to do so.- hence intention to do

and there he is, pope francis having delivered, waving down to the crowd. the out some 50,000 people down in saint peter's square. the combination of easter for the christian and catholic faith. to the middle east now, where talks on a possible new gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal are expected to resume in cairo. that's according to egyptian media. israel is sending a delegation of security and intelligence officials to the indirect talks. it comes as the families of israeli hostages held by hamas in gaza step up the pressure on the prime minister benjamin netanyahu to secure their release. this was the scene in tel aviv on saturday night, as relatives of the hostages joined with anti—government protesters, bringing tens of thousands of people onto the streets. we can go live to cairo and speak to bbc arabic�*s abdelbassir hassan. great to have you with us here. that is just first start off with the latest deaths reported in gaza, that is that kuwait roundabout, what

attend this round of talks going on in cairo, allegedly. hamas has already announced that its just wanted israel to withdraw from the territories it is already entered after october seven. they would like them to withdraw from another guy said to allow those who left their homes to go back to northern gaza, and to allow the food and humanitarian aid across the strip. they would like to have a full, complete ceasefire. 0n the other side, israel is known to have been sticking to one position, which is a continued battle or campaign against hamas. they won't stop the war. they can negotiate a truce, which could be weeks in exchange for prisoners on both sides, but it could be what's been described as a deadlock. we don't know whether they're going to discuss a six week truce, or according

premier league title race. with ten games to go, just one point separates arsenal, liverpool it could be a pivotal day in the english premier league title race. with ten games to go, just one point separates arsenal, liverpool and manchester city at the top of the table. city, in third, are trying to win their fourth league title in a row. arsenal haven't won it for 20 years. both sides face each other at the etihad stadium later and both managers are hoping the international break hasn't disrupted their momentum. well, you cannot do it. that moment is gone. they had to go to national teams, we have maximised as much as we possibly could, the time we had here with some players, and now everybody is back. everybody is so positive about what is coming, and looking forward to it. we played really good last month, but an international break... always the first game, not now, always the first game of international break, you think... you know, it will happen. but yesterday we trained good. we have two more training sessions and we prepare the game. right now, every game is so important. and if we are able to do it, the next game will be important as well. in contrast to england, the race for the bundesliga is nowhere near as close. after 11 titles in a row, bayern munich coach thomas tuchel has all but conceded the club's chances of winning a twelfth. after they lost at home to borussia dortmund on saturday. having conceding early, harry kane missed this chance to equalise in the first half. and the game was effecteively over whenjulian ryerson made it 2—0 with seven minutes to play. it leaves them 13 points behind bayer leverkusen with just seven games to play. inter miami struggled again without lionel messi. the argentine superstar watched from the stands as they were held at home by new york city. it had looked promising when luis suarez opened the scoring with his fifth goal of the season. but, they conceded an equaliser and it finished 1—1. miami are hoping messi will be back for their concacaf champions cup quarterfinal tie with monterrey on wednesday. there's a fascinating final ahead at the miami 0pen tennis. jannick danielle collins beat elena rybakina to win the miami 0pen. the 30—year—old american, who plans to retire at the end of the season, beat the former wimbledon champion in straight sets to win the third title of her career, and her first since 2021. she will retire at the end of the season. sri lanka are building a big first innings against bangladesh in the second test in chattogram. they have gone past 500 on day two, with six of the batsmen making half centuries but none going on to reach three figures as yet. bangladesh have just began their reply. and that's all the sport for now. we will have more file to until then, goodbye. hello. it was a beautiful start to easter sunday for many of you, but we have seen a few changes compared with yesterday. the area of low pressure that's been towards the west of us has slipped further south and, in doing so, we're dragging in more of an easterly breeze. that's brought in more cloud through central and eastern parts of england, outbreaks of rain into the afternoon from the east anglia, pushing then towards parts of yorkshire. to the south of it, we'll see a bit more sunshine develop once again, but there could be a few heavy, thundery showers for the channel islands and the south—west, but further northwards and westwards you come, we will continue with some long spells of sunshine. certainly a better afternoon in northern ireland than we began. cumbria into western parts of scotland seeing the best of the blue skies, but we will see more low cloud creep up eastern coasts this afternoon and that will have an impact on temperatures — just around eight or nine degrees for some in the east of scotland, compared to 16 degrees in the west where we see the highest of the temperatures through today. into tonight, outbreaks of rain will develop more widely across northern england. some heavy, potentially thundery showers working their way up across some southern counties of england and wales. but for much of scotland and northern ireland it will stay dry. with some clear skies in parts of scotland a chance of a touch of frost for some of you. now, into monday, bank holiday monday, of course, our area of low pressure is more broadly spread across the uk and that means more cloud, more rain, particularly so for northern england. we'll also start with some downpours across the midlands, east anglia and wales. they will edge away northwards, skies will brighten and then it's an afternoon of sunshine and some slow moving showers. some will stay dry in the south. outbreaks of rain across northern england quite extensively, edging into parts of northern ireland, southern scotland at times, but further northwards and westwards in scotland, still with sunshine, but more of a breeze here tomorrow. that's going to feed some cold air in across parts of east scotland, north—east england. just around eight or nine degrees at best here through the day, whereas western scotland maybe up to around 1a degrees — down on today's values. a bit warmer in east anglia and the south—east, with more sunshine compared with today. into tuesday, we'll see the cloud and outbreaks of rain push into eastern scotland. still drier in the west of scotland. a brighter day for england, wales and with a bit of brightness in northern ireland, but showers will develop and some longer spells of heavy, thundery rain across the south later in the day. it sets us up for a week in which we'll all see some rain at times, not a complete wash—out, but even though it will be wet at times, it will also turn a bit milder too. take care. now on bbc news, panorama. immigration has driven the fastest population growth in the uk since the 1960s. it looks like great britain is sinking with the amount of foreigners that are here. i think there's a lot the immigration population can bring to a country. at the last election, the government promised to reduce immigration. but it didn't go down. it went up. they say one thing and do another. and this has been the situation for years and years and years. i i think it's one big bloody mess, to be honest with you. - when it comes to immigration, right now, one issue dominates. one of my top priorities as prime minister is to stop the boats. you may have the impression it's small boats that have driven a record rise in net migration. they haven't. while the issue is important, in the context of overall immigration, the numbers are tiny. it's not small boats behind the increase. it's choices made by the government. i am not going to shy away from the truth
