moment or two. first, over to the sports centre- sports centre. we have football,, football, football. sports centre. we have football,, football, football. penultimate i football, football. penultimate match for manchester united, they are facing struggling chelsea. united need one point to ensure that they finish in the top four. we are in a project, we want to go back and to win trophies. we win one trophy, we want to win more trophies. we want to compete with the best but we are still on a journey and we are still on a journey but we are on the right direction. we can always be better because good is not good enough. a terrible season season for chelsea, they will definitely come last. it is in a season when they have sacked two managers. frank lampard has been unable to stop their slide down the table. aston villa, brighton, and others, they are on the equation now. my experience is that if you switch it off, it is not easy to switch it on. it will always become an ov
levels of security for people like me who report outside downing street to go there. over the years, there has been a significant ramping up of security, and at least after an attack a few years ago at the front gates of parliamentjust down the road from me at whitehall about 50 metres from where we are just now, that attack on someone drove there and made it into the front garden, new palace yard of the palace of westminster, so it s definitely right to say that over the last few years, there has been a significant ramping up of the security presence around parliament, which would mean that the police had thought about the possibility of a situation like this with a car driving towards downing street, as we have seen in those images that we brought you a few minutes ago. nevertheless, i can t remember seeing one get through that first security level before and into those front gates of downing street. downing street. nick, stay there, but for peeple downing street. nick,
obsessed with this. we ve talked about this a lot on the weekend newscast that david cameron, because of his former job, can sort of slip in and out of that role very, very easily. some people might raise an eyebrow and say, oh, perhaps too easily. but, you know, as you say, actually for prime minister, you re trying to run the country as well as run an election campaign. that is a challenge that they ve got that actually the leader of the opposition doesn t have, you know, before too long there s the g7 as well. i think the prime minister will be trying to cram in and you know, the small matter of still having to deal with red boxes and so on and so forth. but you re right, it does mean that this big moment of history, some of the snaps that we ll see in the papers tomorrow, will not have the british current prime minister. they ll have the former prime minister. and i suppose there is something slightly awkward about that. i have to say, i love the pictures on social medi
To help Homeless People living on the streets. Good morning. Welcome to bbc Newsroom Live. A father who refused to pay a fine after taking his daughter out of school for an unauthorised holiday has lost his case at the Supreme Court. Jon platt, whos from the isle of wight, had argued that all the law required of him was to ensure that his child attended school regularly. The high court had originally ruled that the holiday did not constitute regular absenteeism but this morning the Supreme Court has overturned thatjudgement. This is how lady hale announced the ruling. Unauthorised absences have a disruptive effect. Not only on the education of the individual child, but also on the work of other pupils and of their teachers. If one pupil can be taken out whenever it suits the parent, then so can others. Different pupils might be taken out at different times, multiplying the disruptive effect. Any educational system expects people to keep the rules. Not to do so is unfair to those obedie
troops fighting on then for weeks and weeks and weeks. and he said these were his lasting memories, which i m just going to quote from his words, because i can t say it better. he said, the lasting memories of those desperate days in normandy are little things picked out of the vast collection of memory pictures, the ghastly smell of dead cows and dead men on the shore rose the eternal dust, the frenchman who lived in the little house by the oden bridge and refused to leave even when the mortar bombs were falling all around the schoolhouse at granville, where the dinner was spoilt by a direct hit from a shell. and above all, the bliss of a long, long sleep. of a long, long sleep when the battle was over. and ijust was so moved by seeing that today. and it made me think of my family. and ijust think it s incredible that all of these huge scenes that we see, these massive ceremonials, the huge thousands
