shot. yeah i found it increasingly difficult to look my nhs colleagues in the eye, my patients in the eye and my constituents in the eye with good conscience. find and my constituents in the eye with good conscience.— and my constituents in the eye with good conscience. and i feel that the nhs deserves _ good conscience. and i feel that the nhs deserves better _ good conscience. and i feel that the nhs deserves better than _ good conscience. and i feel that the nhs deserves better than it - good conscience. and i feel that the nhs deserves better than it has - good conscience. and i feel that the nhs deserves better than it has at l nhs deserves better than it has at the moment in terms of how it is run and governed. fix, the moment in terms of how it is run and governed-— and governed. a conservative spokesperson _ and governed. a conservative spokesperson said _ and governed. a conservative spokesperson said what - and governed. a conservative spokesperson said what danl and governed. a conservative - spokesperson said what dan says is wrong... doctor poulter will stay as an mp until the next general election. which he and the labour party are calling for as soon as possible. whenever the election is, rishi sunak doesn't have long to haul party out of the political holocene. while he will hope the doctordefection to labour is a i—off, voters see a tory party

struggling to hold itself together. that is not the only political story today. scotland's first minister humza yousaf faces a no—confidence vote this week after ending a power—sharing deal with the scottish greens. humza yousaf has reached out to opposition leaders to find common ground, but a source close to him says the first minister would not agree to an electoral pact with the alba party. 0ur scotland editor james cook has more. these are difficult days for humza yousaf, facing an uncertain outlook as he tries to shore up support for his minority government. that's because he decided to end a power—sharing deal with the scottish greens. it is in the best interest of the people of scotland to pursue a different arrangement. therefore, the scottish greens mps have decided that we will support a

vote of— have decided that we will support a vote of no— have decided that we will support a vote of no confidence in the first ministen — the greens are still furious and insist they will not back mr yousaf in a confidence vote in the coming days. nonetheless, the snp leader has written to all the opposition leaders at holyrood, arguing people want to see political parties work together and inviting them to discuss their concerns and priorities. ash regen of the alba party could be the kingmaker, her support alone might be enough for mr yousaf to survive. alba party's leader, alex salmond, told the sunday times mr yousaf might win her over by striking an electoral pact in which snp candidates stood aside in favour of alba in some seats in future elections. but a source close to mr yousaf called the idea "a fantasy and ridiculous". the main opposition say the first minister has run out of road. i think it's an act of desperation on the part of the current first minister.

we have had plenty of opportunities to collaborate over the years but what i am looking at is a very chaotic government that is frankly incompetent and embarrassing to the people of scotland. well, humza yousaf is one of the most divisive and incompetent first ministers scotland has ever seen. and it shows how desperate he is that he _ and it shows how desperate he is that he is— and it shows how desperate he is that he is humiliating leave having to write _ that he is humiliating leave having to write to — that he is humiliating leave having to write to his political opponents in order— to write to his political opponents in order to — to write to his political opponents in order to save his clinical skin. it in order to save his clinical skin. it is _ in order to save his clinical skin. it is quite — in order to save his clinical skin. it is quite clear that both scottish conservatives and the scottish people — conservatives and the scottish people do need a letter from humza yousaf— people do need a letter from humza yousaf ahd — people do need a letter from humza yousaf and that is his letter of resignation. even so, the snp leader still hopes to hold talks with his opponents as he struggles to secure enough support to keep hisjob. james cook, bbc news. the liberal democrats are promising the return of the family doctor, if they were to win the next general election. the party's leader, sir ed davey, says the policy would give over—70s and those with a long—term health condition — almost 19 million people — access to a named gp with the aim

of helping people live independently in their own homes wherever possible. around 350 migrants are believed to have crossed the channel in small boats on saturday, making the most of calm weather. the french authorities say they rescued a further 99 people in three boats who had got into difficulty at sea. it comes as five people died on tuesday after their vessel ran into a sandbank off the french coast. hamas has released a video of two hostages being held in gaza. 0mri miran and keith siegel were both captured when hamas launched its attacks on israel on october 7. the undated footage filmed under duress is the first positive proof that the two men are still alive. it comes as hamas said it was studying israel's latest proposalfor a truce. the us secretary of state antony blinken is set to travel to saudi arabia tomorrow for another round of talks with arab leaders — where he will again push for a ceasefire in gaza.

he'll also use the summit to underscore the need to keep up the recent increase in aid to the territory. the body representing the haulage industry has warned of "chaos and confusion" ahead of the introduction of new border checks on some products from the eu this week. logistics uk has called for urgent clarity on how the system will work before the rules come into force in two days' time. a gold pocket watch worn by the wealthiest passenger on board the titanic has sold for £900,000 at auction — six times the asking price. it originally belonged to businessman jothacob astor, who died after the ship hit an iceberg and sunk in 1912. the watch is now the highest amount ever paid for a single item from the doomed liner, as our correspondent duncan kennedy reports. there's nothing like the titanic

to evoke memories, passion... ..and buyers. this auction included one of the items that titanic collectors desire most of all — it's the gold pocket watch belonging to a passenger believed to be one of the richest people in the world, jothacob astor. he and 1,500 others died when the ship sank in april 1912 in the north atlantic. what jj astor's watch represents is something touchable from history, which is why people are still willing to pay so much money for it. the bidding for the watch started way beyond the estimate of £150,000 and kept climbing... at £900,000... gavel thumps add on all the fees and the anonymous buyer will pay £1.17 million — a world record for an item from the titanic. at the end of the day, this price reflects not only the importance

of the astor watch, but also the enduring appeal of the titanic story. books, films and documentaries have kept the titanic story alive, but it's artefacts like these that make it tangible and desirable. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in wiltshire. there is no doubt it was a beautiful piece but you rightly ask, immediately, does still work? that is a journalist you.— is a “ournalist you. might've had a bit is a journalist you. might've had a bit of water _ is a journalist you. might've had a bit of water damage _ is a journalist you. might've had a bit of water damage that... - is a journalist you. might've had a bit of water damage that... and l is a journalist you. might've had a i bit of water damage that... and also the violinist who played as the boat went down. his violin was kept in the case. ., ., , the case. not the violin but the case was auctioned _ the case. not the violin but the case was auctioned off- the case. not the violin but the l case was auctioned off yesterday the case. not the violin but the - case was auctioned off yesterday as well. shall we have a look at the weather? it is nine minutes past six. sarah is with us. those tulips have not been photographed this morning, i can guess. good morning to you roger and rachel. no, this was yesterday, we had quite a lot of cloud in the skies yesterday and a similar feature for cloud in the skies yesterday and a similarfeature for some cloud in the skies yesterday and a similar feature for some of us today but it is going to be a bit of it

east—west split. we have got some heavy wind around was up there was a dash might be some sunshine coming through and some showers. the low pressure will continue its progress and eventually head out towards the north sea so something a little bit drier and brighter working in from the west later in the day. this is the west later in the day. this is the past few hours and that rain has been heavy over parts of central and eastern england, many of us waking up eastern england, many of us waking up to some large puddles. it has been about 20—30 millimetres of rain so quite a lot over the overnight period. and blustery winds. it is clear about colder to start the day the parts of scotland, northern ireland, into wales as well, a few showers developing here and there and then the rain eventually easing away from central and eastern parts of england. but we will seek blustery winds in and around the wet weather, to, particularly through the english type two english channel and north sea coast. you guessed it,

it is not willing particularly warm, only about 8— 11 degrees in the northeast. where as the likes of belfast and plymouth, for instance, it will get up to about 13 celsius. through this evening and overnight the wet weather clears away, lingering longest towards northern isles well it two where it will be windy. the winds will become over the next area of rain that works in through the west. not as chilly for scotland and northern ireland but we could see a touch of frost in one or two prone spots. into monday, more rain around in different areas of because as low pressure is starting to work in from the west, quite a few isobars on the chart showing something of a breezy day on monday. the rain initially works into northern ireland and into parts of scotland, north—west england, wales and the far southwest, but a much improved davis central, southern and eastern england and perhaps the odd shower tomorrow, eastern england and perhaps the odd showertomorrow, but eastern england and perhaps the odd shower tomorrow, but certainly more sunshine is not the relentless rain we have out there this morning. a bit warmerfor some of we have out there this morning. a bit warmer for some of us when the

south and east 18 degrees also, warmer than it has been over the past week or so but still only about 12 or 13 up towards the north—west with the blustery winds and the of rain. so low pressure not far away as we head through monday and into tuesday stopped starting to work into the atlantic but high—pressure building across the near continent. that combination means the winds are coming in from a different direction though some mild air at last arriving over the course of this week, particularly fine day for parts of eastern scotland, eastern england on tuesday. there will be more showers working in from the west and the breeze picking up, lifting temperatures to the high—teens were some of us. so really through the mid part of the week onwards we are likely to see warmer weather. you have probably been holding out for many of us, particularly in the south, looking like we could see 20 degrees as we head towards the bank holiday weekend but certainly for the middle part of the week we are expecting some more unsettled weather. rachel and roger. element thank you very much was up 20 degrees... we can only dream of 20 degrees here up north, roger! butanyway. fingers

with inflation, average wage increases, or by 2.5% — whichever is highest. now, the observer reports that government officials were told convicts were among the paid donors and virus contamination "should be assumed" from blood products given to haemophiliacs in the 19705 and �*80s. that, of course, is related to the blood scandal public enquiry. it will publish its final report next month. and the mirror says people smugglers in france are hiding migrants in bunkers built by the nazis in france during world war ii ahead of attempted crossings over the english channel. you have a story that you are very excited about.— excited about. well, excited is -robabl excited about. well, excited is probably overstating _ excited about. well, excited is probably overstating it, - excited about. well, excited is probably overstating it, but. excited about. well, excited is probably overstating it, but it | probably overstating it, but it certainly caught my eye. it is somebody writing in country life magazine, writing about the realities of living in rural locations. the idea is to send out some hard truths to people thinking about moving to the country from a town or city. so things like it is

surely now i to horse premier league title race between arsenal and manchester city. —— a two—horse premier league title race. both play later this afternoon, arsenal at tottenham and city at forest. that's after liverpool dropped points again, this time drawing 2—2 at west ham, where they came from behind to lead — thanks to this deflected goal. but they couldn't hold on, with player of the match jarrod bowen setting up michail antonio to earn the home side a point. it leaves liverpool third, with manchester city a point above them with two games in hand, and the leaders arsenal two points clear, with one game in hand. one of the big talking points from the game was this altercation betweenjurgen klopp and mohammed salah as he was about to come on as a substitute with ten minutes to go. words exchanged. afterwards, klopp didn't explain what happened saying "we spoke about it in the dressing room and that is done for me." salah's words after the game were stronger if not any clearer.

all he's said on the matter is "there's going to be a fire today if i speak." aston villa's hopes of finishing in the top four are no longer in their hands after they threw away a 2—0 lead at home to chelsea. villa were two up and in control with over an hour played — but chelsea fought back, with conor gallagher's superb strike nine minutes from time earning his side a point. the result means tottenham, seven points behind villa with three games in hand, could play in the champions league next season if they win all their remaining matches. at the other end of the table, sheffield united couldn't avoid their fate any longer, they're relegated after losing 5—1 at newcastle. they took an early lead at stjames' park, 1—0 up afterjust five minutes. but then came the response, newcastle with five of their own — calum wilson rounding off a comfortable afternoon in the end with the visitors heading back to the championship, they've conceded 97 goals this season from 35 games. manager chris wilder staying

to be the winner early in the second half. luton pulled one back but it wasn't enough, they're a point from safety. in the championship, ipswich missed the chance to move into the automatic promotion places after being held to a 3—3 draw at hull. they were heading into second place in the table with three minutes to go, but substitute noah 0hio pounced with the late equaliser. it's still in ipswich's hands, they need found points from their last two games to secure a return to the premier league for the first time in over 20 years. just three points separate the leaders celtic from rangers going into a big afternoon in the scottish premiership. rangers are at st mirren before celtic play at dundee. meanwhile, in the women's scottish cup, rangers got the better of celtic to reach the final. two late goals were needed at hampden park — revenge for rangers who lost to their glasgow rivals in last season's final. hearts play spartans in the other semi today. harlequins scored six tries

picked up the pace in recent decades and it is easy to see why. crystal clear waters, golden beaches, year—round son. all the ingredients for an amazing holiday. ifeel there is so much more to this place just waiting to be discovered by travellers like us. all you have to do is head beyond the beaches.

i have been lucky enough to explore a lot of africa, but i have heard about cape verde is the real sense of worlds and cultures colliding. if you look at some of the shops and market stalls they are selling african style arts and crafts. the churches look like they have been shared straight from a street in europe, and with the shared ancestry and heritage, you really get this south american field with the people and the music. cape verde consists of ten islands and was a portuguese colony until 1975. butjust 30 kilometres long and 12 kilometres wide, sao is one of the archipelago's smallest islands, but one of the most popular for tourists. many visitors stay in santa maria in the south of sao, and it caters for their every need. but i wanted to get a real taste of life

this is a really nice way to travel around the island — sun in yourface, wind in your hair. definitely beats sitting in a cab. in the town of palmeira, you can experience a slice of authentic cabo verdean life, just 19 kilometres away from the ever—changing santa maria. palmeira is an important port where everything that comes and goes from sal passes through. it's vibrant, colourful and an ideal first stop on my tour of the island. this is so different to anywhere i've been so far. it's so colourful! that's it. that's why you have to get out from that touristic atmosphere... mmm! ..come down, see the local people, try the local foods. yes! once you try a local food, yeah, you'll say, "oh, should i go back or should i stay here?" oh, you will feel at home. yeah, yeah! you will feel the vibe of the cape verdean people. different flavour of cabo verde.

yeah. yeah! cristina is the matriarch of the candida family. every day, they prepare cachupa, cabo verde's national dish. it's made for local people and to be served at a nearby restaurant. the smell of the wood smoke and the bubbling stew is something else. so what have we got here? that's...pork. that's pork? yes. untranslated all the different ingredients represent different cultures. cos that's quite important to this dish, right? we have the beans and the corn from brazil... yeah. ..banana, sweet potatoes from west africa... mm—hm. ..the meat came from the portuguese... yeah. ..and then the fusion. and now it's not from portugal,

it's not from brazil, it's not from africa, it's for cape verde and the cape verdeans. yeah, yeah. to see all these nationalities that have shaped cabo verde come together in the national dish is a perfect metaphor for cabo verdean culture. but the question is, does it taste any good? thank you. 0brigada! this looks good! i've been waiting for this. i've spent a lot of time watching it be made. i need to try it now. i've waited long enough. you definitely will like it. all right! let's do it! mmm! you know, as i'm eating it, it's really reminding me ofjust a bean stew that my mum makes. and she still makes to this day, actually. yeah! it's kind of bringing me home a little bit. well, good. they laugh so, traditionally, who ate cachupa? when the portuguese was trading slaves to sell, they had to give them something, and then it starts the cachupa. when the portuguese came back from brazil with the corn,

growing corn, and then putting everything together, anything you have at home, so... so there you have it... yeah, yeah. ..0ur national dish, cachupa. yeah! it's brilliant. it's great to get a real taste of cape verdean food. the island of sal was first named llana back in 1a60, which means "flat". but beneath this arid landscape, there was something to be found, something that would change the destiny of this place forever. it's definitely worth taking a tour to the salinas, because when you get here, you are completely surrounded by sal, which just happens to be the portuguese word for salt. and as you probably guessed, it's how the island got its name. the word salinas roughly translates to "salt mines". in this age—old technique, sea water is allowed to stand in ponds, and as the water evaporates, it leaves behind solid salt crystals. here is like a rock now. yeah, it is. yeah. and it's still giving me impressions that i'm standing on ice. i know it's not ice. yes.

the word salinas roughly translates to "salt mines". in this age—old technique, sea water is allowed to stand in ponds, and as the water evaporates, it leaves behind solid salt crystals. here is like a rock now. yeah, it is. yeah. and it's still giving me impressions that i'm standing on ice. i know it's not ice. yes. no, no, you are. here is the unique place where we can stand, walk, lay down...on the snow. you don't need gloves. you don't need nothing. you canjust come on a picnic... laughs: yeah, my kind of snow, my kind of snow! salt mining was the main industry in sal for many years. elvis is taking me to what was once the heart of the operation within a volcanic crater. and what he showed me was like something from another world. it feels like i should be shooting some kind of sci—fi flick set

on another planet, or maybe a spaghetti western, playing some kind of gunslinger. she laughs elvis, what is this place? so this place is a salt refinery... uh-huh. ..where the industry of salt... it was here where they used to refine the salt, and that's connecting to the salt lake by this cable... ..0ne kilometre and 100m down to the salt lake, and that was able to transport 25 tons of salt per hour. it looks like it was once a very impressive bit of infrastructure. that structure and the cable cars, it took two years to be built... yeah? ..from 1919 to 1921. wow! so it really changed the game when this was built? big, big change. yeah. big change. i don't know if it's just me, but there's something a little bit eerie about looking at this. it's a bit, you know, it's broken down, it's decay and damage and... yeah, unfortunately. ..the machineryjust left untouched and rusty. it's almost making me a bit sad. unfortunately, it is like this.

those boats was used taking the salt out to the big ship to brazil. yeah, yeah. so, what happened? to encourage the brazilians to produce them own salt, they put a really high tax on our salt that made it very expensive. so, that's the way they killed our business of salt. yeah, a pretty underhanded way to kill the competition. so, when things started to decline and, you know, the operation started to close down, what was it like for the people living here? quite a few businesses collapsed but luckiest was when the airport had the international certification, so many people had the opportunity to find a job at the airport so, the airport did solve a problem of many people. here probably will have the best view, the best picture of the island.

yeah? so, that's the famous salt lake. here we are! that's unique around the world, inside on an extinct volcanic crater. yep, yep. it is one of the seven wonders of cape verde. you see, it makes, like, 900m long and it's around 2m under sea level. yeah, and i'm just checking — you did say extinct, right? extinct volcanic crater. yeah, yeah. well, i've got to say, as far as views go, this is pretty spectacular. it is, it is. i'm loving all the colours. you've got the pinky, kind of purple hues at the bottom. the white ice! yeah... still looking like ice to me! yeah, the rusty mountains, the blue sky, the greenery. it's just such a beautiful mix of colours. so, it was this lake inside this crater where the salt was mined and then began its journey up the cable cars that elvis told me about. and now, it's evolved into quite a fun tourist attraction, where getting in the water here is said to be like taking a dip in the dead sea, so you don't really swim but you can float and bob around and as i'm here, it'd be rude not to give it a go, right?

who needs inflatables when you've got this? i'm heading back to the beach here on sal, but there's no cocktails or sun loungers on this particular one and it's rather ominously named shark bay. ok, so there's lots of tourists here, plenty of souvenir stalls and no—one's running from the water screaming, so it can't be that bad, right? lemon sharks may be closely related to great whites but, luckily for me, they're not considered a threat to humans... you see? oh, yes! 0k.

it camouflages well but we've seen a shark. ..which gives tourists a chance to have — yep, you guessed it — real—life sharks swimming around their legs. i'm joining berta from the conservation group project biodiversity, who are always looking for tourists to volunteer with them to help study sal's wildlife. and then, we will turn it to check. as demonstrated on this cuddly toy, we'll be tagging and measuring baby lemon sharks who live in the shallow waters here. with the sharks spotted and the team briefed, it was time to prepare the sharks' supper before wading out to sea. all we had to do then was wait. the water's not too cold. no, it's not cold at all, actually. so, is there an optimum time for this, where you get more sharks than other times? here, they really come at 9 o'clock

when the first bus is coming... yeah, yeah. ..and they leave at 5.00 with the last tourists. 0n the 9:00—5:00! yeah, exactly. this is not for the impatient. so, what's the purpose of the microchipping, the measurements and taking skin samples? what's the purpose? so, in this particular case, we are doing that because this area, it's believed to be a nursery for the lemon shark, but there's no proof of that. we see baby sharks all the time, all year round, year after year, but we need to prove that. yeah. so, tagging helps us to show that they are not only born here but that they spend some important stages of their life, and that is something that happens continuously. and also to say whether we are seeing only one shark,

the same one 20 times, or 20 different sharks and, like, estimating the population. and off it goes! it's been tagged, it's been checked and now, it's back off into the wild. with so many other islands to explore, it was time to leave sal behind. and if you think cabo verde is all about golden beaches and blue seas, think again. this is the island of santo antao, the westernmost point of africa. it may be the archipelago's second—largest island but without an airport of its own, the only way there is on a ferry from the neighbouring island of sao vicente. this island is perfect for those who love the great

outdoors, so i'm meeting shekinah, who takes tourists hiking across santo antao. hello! good morning! how are you? hi! hello! hi. loving the sign. the whole of cabo verde was completely uninhabited when it was discovered by the portuguese in the 1a00s. and in santo antao, not much has changed, what with this unspoiled landscape. en route, shekinah wanted to show me this gem of a village sitting in a valley atop of a rock. this is fontainhas and has some of the best views on the island. i can't believe people live here. how many people live here? nowadays, in fontainhas, there's, like, less than 200 people living here, you know? wow. what do you think are the main reasons for them leaving?

is it mainly work? work, and they are looking for better living conditions. we call cape verde as well the "terra sodade," which is "the land of missing". yeah. you know, we really love the loved ones, so we tend to come back, for sure, for them one day. talk me about what it is that makes you stay here. i could start speaking about the morabeza, which is the word that we use mostly for people here that are very friendly, like, the hospitality. they open their hearts and they help you. they don't have much but they give it to you if you need it. i will give you an example in real life... yes, please! ..so, you're going to see how it works here. so, maybe let's have a grogue... 0h! i've heard so much about this. i'm ready. our local drink! this is nice.

bao tarde. oh, it's a shot! it's a shot! all right. 0k, what is this drink? well, this is our rum. we call it "grogue" in creole. yeah. "grogue". grogue, yes. it'sa mix... it's a sugar cane. we make it from the sugar cane. can i put it full? yeah, why not? why not, right? it's been a long hike. after the long hike! well, here, in creole, we say "txin—txin!" or we say, "salud". —— "saude". which one should we go for? it's like, "cheers!" saude. txin—txin! salud! saude. hold on. it is strong. that is super strong. oh, yeah... it actually took my breath away. that was nice. 0oh! another one? did you like it? oh, it leaves a bit of a fiery taste in your throat. mm—hm.

strained: yeah! after spending the day on santo antao, it was time to get back on the ferry to spend the night on the island of sao vicente. travelling around cabo verde, it soon becomes apparent each island is its own unique world with much of its character derived from its geography. but the more time i spend in sao vicente, it's clear that this island isn't defined by mountains or deserts, but by its people. so, every february, they hold carnival here. but even in the fallow months, carnival groups still get together and rehearse. and, i mean, how can you not love this carnival vibe? edson is the vice president of the carnival group cruzeiros do norte. so, african countries, the rhythm, it's in our blood and the people, when they come, automatically,

they start to shake and dance. just born with the vibe, born with the carnival spirit! the port of mindelo is sao vicente's city of culture and its flourishing art scene is mainly the direct influence of one woman. so, mindelo was made famous by the late, great, grammy award—winning cesaria evora and it doesn't take long for you to discover that she is quite the national treasure here, and that's because she is everywhere, from murals to t—shirts — and she's even on the money. sings fame found cesaria later in life. born in 19a1 in mindelo, for her first 50 years, she was weighed down in poverty and sang in obscurity. but for the following 20 years, before her death in 2011, she waved the flag for cabo verde, spreading its style of music across the globe and earning herself the nickname of the barefoot diva.

sings same song as cesaria her legacy is inspiring a brand—new generation of musicians. nadia is a professional singer and says cesaria has taught her dreams can come true, no matter what your background is. i think cape verde's music, you see, and we cannot escape from music. yeah! it's a poor country but you can see the face of the people. they are happy, yeah, because of this evolving with culture. culture, dancing, singing makes the people feel different despite of the problems but because of the culture... yeah.

..it make them feel happy. cabo verde may be one of the smallest nations in africa but it is without a doubt one of the most colourful. and when you're wandering around mindelo, you can't help but take in the hundreds of years of cultures just echoing through the streets — whether that's through the music or from the warm and welcoming nature of the people here. and, yes, you could come here and never step foot out of your resort, but why would you do that when there is so much to see here? that's why i'm so happy that i've taken the time to get out, taste the food, meet the people, walk the landscapes, and now i can go home knowing the true identity of this wonderful and beautiful nation. woman sings

after a dominant win in france. good morning. we have some wet and windy weather at times for much of england and eastern scotland as well. they will be more sunshine working in from the west. i will bring you all the details coming up shortly. it's sunday, 28th april. our main story: labour leader sir keir starmer has welcomed the former conservative mp dr dan poulter to his party following his defection from the tories over concerns for the nhs. meanwhile, rishi sunak has insisted he's "delivering for britain". sir keir starmer said the former minister would help his party get the health service "back on its feet." 0ur political correspondent ben wright reports. abandoning your leader, defecting from the party, is a big step to take. but dan poulter has had

enough of the tories. he's been a doctor and a conservative mp for 1a years but in a blow for rishi sunak he's defected to labour with a punchy parting shot. i found it increasingly difficult to look my nhs colleagues in the eye, my patients in the eye and my constituents in the eye with good conscience, and i feel that the nhs deserves better than it has at the moment in terms of how it is run and governed. a conservative spokesperson said: dr poulter will stay as an mp until the next general election which he and the labour party are calling for as soon as possible. whenever the election is, rishi sunak doesn't have long to haul his party out of the political hole it's in.

while he will hope the doctor's defection to labour is a one—off and quickly forgotten, voters may see a tory party struggling to hold itself together. ben wright, bbc news. let's speak now to our political correspondent, georgia roberts. georgia, this isn't good timing for the conservatives is it, just days away from the local elections? that is right. this is a new headache for rishi sunak, just days away from what many believe will be away from what many believe will be a difficult set of local elections in england and wales for his party. dan poulter, alongside his mp duties, works as a doctor, and he told the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg, as we just heard, the told the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg, as wejust heard, the party told the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg, as we just heard, the party is not focused on public services any more and the nhs deserves better. now, he

is the second conservative mp to jump is the second conservative mp to jump ship to the labour party under the leadership of sir keir starmer, and it comesjust the leadership of sir keir starmer, and it comes just a month or so after the ashfield mp neal anderson chose to leave the conservatives for reform uk, the party chaired by nigel farage. speaking in the mail on sunday this morning, the prime minister, as you say, has not mentioned down poulter by name but insists he is delivering for britain, he mentioned some political victories he has had this week which i am sure he was hoping would be the focus, now at risk of being overshadowed by news of this defection this weekend. he talks about a boost to defence spending he announced, and he also talks about the fact that his plans to send some asylum seekers to rwanda are finally into law after a lot of delay. he says sir keir starmer�*s labour party has no vision and no plan. labour will be very happy with this this weekend, this is a blow to rishi sunakjust weekend, this is a blow to rishi sunak just days from weekend, this is a blow to rishi sunakjust days from polling day.

george, thank you. more on that story to come this morning, but it is not the only political story in town this morning. no, not the only person under pressure. scotland's first minister humza yousaf faces a no confidence vote this week after ending a power—sharing deal with the scottish greens. humza yousaf has reached out to opposition leaders to find common ground, but a source close to him says the first minister would not agree to an electoral pact with the alba party. 0ur scotland editor james cook has more. these are difficult days for humza yousaf, facing an uncertain outlook as he tries to shore up support for his minority government. that's because he decided to end a power—sharing deal with the scottish greens. it is in the best interest of the people of scotland to pursue a different arrangement. therefore, the scottish greens msps have decided that we will support a vote of no confidence

in the first minister. the greens are still furious and insist they will not back mr yousaf in a confidence vote in the coming days. nonetheless, the snp leader has written to all the opposition leaders at holyrood, arguing people want to see political parties work together and inviting them to discuss their concerns and priorities. ash regen of the alba party could be the kingmaker, her support alone might be enough for mr yousaf to survive. alba party's leader, alex salmond, told the sunday times mr yousaf might win her over by striking an electoral pact in which snp candidates stood aside in favour of alba in some seats in future elections. but a source close to mr yousaf called the idea "a fantasy and ridiculous". the main opposition say the first minister has run out of road. i think it's an act of desperation on the part of the current first

minister. we've had plenty of opportunities to co—operate over the years, but to be frank with you, what i'm looking at is a very chaotic government that's frankly incompetent and embarrassing to the people of scotland. well, humza yousaf is one of the most divisive and incompetent first ministers scotland has ever seen, and it shows how desperate he is that he is humiliatingly having to write to his political opponents in order to save his political skin. it's quite clear that both scottish conservatives and the scottish people do need a letter from humza yousaf and that is his letter of resignation. even so, the snp leader still hopes to hold talks with his opponents as he struggles to secure enough support to keep hisjob. james cook, bbc news. the liberal democrats are promising the return of the family doctor, if they were to win the next general election. the party's leader, sir ed davey, says the policy would give over 70s and those with a long—term health condition — almost 19 million people — access to a named gp with the aim

of helping people live independently in their own homes wherever possible. around 350 migrants are believed to have crossed the channel in small boats on saturday, making the most of calm weather. the french authorities say they rescued a further 99 people in three boats who had got into difficulty at sea. a british man who was attacked by a bull sharkjust ten meters off the coast of the caribbean island of tobago is in a stable condition in intensive care. 6a—year—old peter smith has serious injuries to his left arm, left leg and stomach after the attack on friday. the foreign office have said it is supporting the family. hamas has released a video of two hostages being held in gaza. 0mri miran and keith siegel were both captured when hamas launched its attacks on israel on october 7. the undated footage filmed under duress is the first positive proof that the two men are still alive.

it comes as hamas said it was studying israel's latest proposalfor a truce. the us secretary of state antony blinken is set to travel to saudi arabia tomorrow for another round of talks with arab leaders, where he will again push for a ceasefire in gaza. he'll also use the summit to underscore the need to keep up the recent increase in aid to the territory. the disgraced hollywood film producer, harvey weinstein, has been hospitalised in new york, just days after the city's top court overturned his 2020 rape conviction. weinstein is still serving 16 years for rape, from a separate case in los angeles. his lawyers say the 72—year—old is undergoing tests and is being kept in hospital for observation. a gold pocket watch worn by the wealthiest passenger on board the titanic has sold for £900,000 at auction, six times the asking price. it originally belonged to businessmanjothacob astor, who died after the ship hit

an iceberg and sunk in 1912. the watch is now the highest amount ever paid for a single item from the doomed liner, as our correspondent duncan kennedy reports. there's nothing like the titanic to evoke memories, passion... ..and buyers. desire most of all — it's the gold pocket watch belonging this auction included one of the items that titanic collectors desire most of all — it's the gold pocket watch belonging to a passenger believed to be one of the richest people in the world, jothacob astor. he and 1,500 others died when the ship sank in april 1912 in the north atlantic. what jj astor's watch represents is something touchable from history, which is why people are still willing to pay so much money for it.

the bidding for the watch started way beyond the estimate of £150,000 and kept climbing... at £900,000... gavel thumps add on all the fees and the anonymous buyer will pay £1.17 million — a world record for an item from the titanic. at the end of the day, this price reflects not only the importance of the astor watch, but also the enduring appeal of the titanic story. books, films and documentaries have kept the titanic story alive, but it's artefacts like these that make it tangible and desirable. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in wiltshire. when we were talking about this earlier, you asked if it still worked, but people who know the titanic story will know this, the watch stopped at the point waited to the iceberg. h0. watch stopped at the point waited to the iceberr. ., ., the iceberg. no, where it went down. just before 2:20 _ the iceberg. no, where it went down. just before 2:20 a.m., _ the iceberg. no, where it went down. just before 2:20 a.m. , that _ the iceberg. no, where it went down. just before 2:20 a.m. , that is - the iceberg. no, where it went down. just before 2:20 a.m. , that is when i just before 2:20 a.m., that is when john just before 2:20 a.m., that is when jothacob astor is believed to have gone into the water stop violin case

towards the west, and scattered showers. i think west is best if you are after the sunshine. towards the east it is this area of low pressure dominating the weather, pushing gradually north through the day. we will see that rain over the next few hours continuing to spread across central parts of england. this is the radar from the past few hours, it has been quite widespread for east anglia, the southeast, right towards the northeast of england as well. it will continue to push into scotland later in the morning. away from that area of training we will see sunshine across western scotland, northern ireland and wales, withjust scotland, northern ireland and wales, with just a few showers interrupting that sunshine, perhaps the odd rumble of thunder but showers will be hit miss towards the west. blustery winds combining with that rain, it will make it feel really chilly if you are close to that east coast. aberdeen just eight degrees but when you add on the windchill it will feel colder than that. one pots towards the south and west, getting up to 13 or so. still in the low part for this stage of late april. through this evening and

night the rain clears away from most of us, lingering longest towards the northern isles, where it will be quite windy. also, clear skies for a time, but the next bit of rain moves in from the west, sitting across northern ireland in the early hours of monday. not quite as chilly as the past few nights but we could still see a touch of frost towards parts of scotland to start your monday morning. through the day and tomorrow we have this area of low pressure, neverfaraway tomorrow we have this area of low pressure, never far away at the moment. that is moving in from the west. quite a few isobars ahead of it, blustery sort of day, certainly an improved day across parts of central, southern and eastern england, orsunshine, drierweather england, or sunshine, drier weather and england, orsunshine, drierweather and a bit warmer. also the northeast of scotland should see some sunshine, but elsewhere we have the rain moving and picking up, only about 12 13 in the west, but around 18 degrees near london tomorrow afternoon. certainly warmer than it has been over the past week or so. low pressure still sticking out towards the west as we head into tuesday. high pressure holding on further east across europe, that combination in pressure systems

means that the winds will be coming in from the southeast. thankfully a slightly warmer direction, so if you have been holding out for warmer weather we should see that as we head into the middle of the week. still showers around in the west on tuesday. brighter spells towards the east. we will see those temperatures more widely up into the high teens, still a bit cooler towards the west but at least things will turn more settled and a touch warmer as we head through the middle of the week. yes, we look forward to temperatures rising a little bit. it is 7:15am. there's calls for more drug and alcohol support to be offered to people from black, asian and minority ethnic communities following concerns from charities that these groups are often underrepresented in treatment. 0ur reporter anna crossley has been speaking to kim, a south asian woman who was addicted to heroin for 16 years and is now in recovery. i'm quite nervous. my stomach is

churning. ifeel quite i'm quite nervous. my stomach is churning. i feel quite sick, i'm quite nervous. my stomach is churning. ifeel quite sick, really, because this is where my addiction started. i had come away from a really unhappy, horrible marriage, and i thought i was going to start a new life here, but ended up spiralling into addiction. i didn't know. i didn't know that i was addicted to drugs. this know. i didn't know that i was addicted to drugs.— know. i didn't know that i was addicted to drugs. this is the first time you've _ addicted to drugs. this is the first time you've been _ addicted to drugs. this is the first time you've been back— addicted to drugs. this is the first time you've been back here? - addicted to drugs. this is the first| time you've been back here? yes. addicted to drugs. this is the first i time you've been back here? yes. i think it was — time you've been back here? yes. i think it was about _ time you've been back here? yes. i think it was about time _ time you've been back here? yes. i think it was about time somebody i think it was about time somebody spoke out. i don't know if i'm going to be appreciated for it or if it is going to go down well, but i felt after all these years it needed to be out in the open that there's addictions that go on in south asian communities. i was told how to walk,

told how to smile, told her to do everything. so i didn't have my own kind of thoughts. it was very much controlled by other people. and then when, you know, when somebody is rolling up a joint, a joint of whatever it was, and said here, have this, it will make you feel better, i took it. and that was my first pull of a joint of heroin. i didn't know i was in addiction until i was probably about a year or two in because the heroine was provided for me every day, so i didn't have withdrawals. it was embarrassing. who could i tell? who can i go to? who could i tell? who can i go to? who would understand? for me, it was more — i'm notjust a drug user, i'm an asian girl, on drugs. i'm an indian girl, on drugs. who do i turn to? who will understand? it is more risky or dangerous not to say

anything and to educate our own people and be honest about what happens and what addiction does to people. god, this is awful, this, now, thinking about it, my little girl came home with a sponsorship form for school and i made loads of photocopies of it. and i walked around the whole of bradford, i think, with the sponsorship form, and tutored money out of people. absolutely shocking. when i lived in a housejust absolutely shocking. when i lived in a house just here, absolutely shocking. when i lived in a housejust here, where absolutely shocking. when i lived in a house just here, where the absolutely shocking. when i lived in a housejust here, where the blue door is. this one here? yes. what door is. this one here? yes. what was our door is. this one here? yes. what was your lowest _ door is. this one here? yes. what was your lowest point? _ door is. this one here? yes. what was your lowest point? i - door is. this one here? yes. what was your lowest point? i took- door is. this one here? yes. what was your lowest point? i took an l was your lowest point? i took an overdose of— was your lowest point? i took an overdose of tablets _ was your lowest point? i took an overdose of tablets because - was your lowest point? i took an overdose of tablets because i. was your lowest point? i took an i overdose of tablets because i could just... i would just... overdose of tablets because i could just... iwouldjust... i didn't want to live anymore. i didn't want to be here. i didn't — i couldn't look at my kids. i ended up back in

any negative spotlight to our communities, but it is a subject that needs to be talked about, because we're losing many lives to untreated addiction and trauma in our communities. i want to say that at the outset. so where does kim turn to? we have english interpreters, they provide english support, and that is good, but whether she turned to about the cultural experiences she has had around her marriage, the culture around her marriage, the culture around her, the religion, the extended family? these dynamics are very, very complex, and there rooted into, you know, somebody�*s addiction, they need the support from people who can understand that culture, that cultural experience. there are only a few services that are ethnically led across great britain. ., ., , ., are ethnically led across great britain. ., .,

hello, good morning. you are watching breakfast with roger johnson and rachel burton. if you have just followed us over from bbc one, thank you, you've made the 0ne, thank you, you've made the right choice. we are on bbc two until nine o'clock and also on the bbc news channel. this is where you can hear about all that weekend sport this morning, including... and sport this morning, including... and much of the — sport this morning, including... fific much of the day, eat sport this morning, including... a"ic much of the day, eat it all up. including women's england team, once again completely superior in the six nations. absolutely. we were expecting this, they have won the last five six nations titles in a row. make it six now. it was emphatic again. that was in bordeaux, france the biggest rivals, if you like, really compelling when from england. they are making a compelling case to wind up are making a compelling case to wind up world cup in england next summer. 0utstanding again. the numbers are incredible around this england side. that is 29 consecutive championship wins for them, to a third consecutive grand slam done as well.

a2-21, consecutive grand slam done as well. a2—21, they beat france in bordeaux. john mitchell's first six nations, of course, in charge of the red roses, and he remains undefeated, since taking over last autumn. joe curry reports. the most dominant force in women's rugby, six titles in a row, simply untouchable. in front of the home crowd, the french resistance lasted all of four minutes. more care with all of four minutes. more care with a touchdown to get them rolling. when you are struggling to get a foothold, you cannot hand england the ball, literally. this was a gift france could not afford to give. but here is a rapid reply, and much needed. france desperately trying to keep themselves in touching distance of england. france's challenges grew after the restart, reduced to 1a players for this i tackle. but that seems to only deepen their resolve. this was not a comeback, but it would restore some fight. before

ofjust over 10,500. ireland edged scotland 15—12 in a close game in belfast to finish third and qualify for the 2025 world cup. both sides with two tries apiece but an irish penalty proved to be the difference. emma hayes has voiced her frustrations about the referee after her hopes of leaving chelsea this summer with the champions league were ended by barcelona. they brought a one goal lead back to stamford bridge but aitana bonmati's first half strike cancelled that out. kadeisha buchanan was then sent off, a second yellow card and a decision hayes called the "worst in women's champions league history." she said her side were robbed by the decision to give barca a penalty, too — fridolina rolfo scoring sending the spanish side through 2—0 on the night, 2—1 on aggregate. this was the only major trophy hayes hadn't won at the club. how significant could this

weekend prove to be in the premier league title race? after liverpool dropped points again, the top two both play today. the champions manchester city are at nottingham forest but before that the leaders arsenal, just a point above them in the table having played a game more, face tottenham away in the north london derby. spurs are a chasing a top four finish, meaning there's a lot riding on this afternoon for both managers. we have to look at ourselves and try to perform the best possible way, when our matches, and wait to see what happens. what i can tell you is that the boys are going to be fully ready on sunday to go, to play against a great opponent. everything is very difficult for us, we are going to have to be very good to beat them. we understand the importance of the game _ we understand the importance of the game and _ we understand the importance of the game and we understand the importance of, you know, particularly at home in these kinds of games, — particularly at home in these kinds of games, to not let our biggest rival, _ of games, to not let our biggest rival, the — of games, to not let our biggest rival, the biggest star before us,

meanwhile in the women's scottish cup, rangers got the better of celtic to reach the final. two late goals were needed at hampden park, revenge for rangers who lost to their glasgow rivals in last season's final. hearts play spartans in the other semi today. harlequins scored six tries on their way to a iii—32 victory over premiership leaders northampton. will porter helping the home side get over the line with two late tries at twickenham. this win boosts their hopes of achieving a play—off place, they are level on points with fourth place bristol. who themselves saw a remarkable end to their match against leicester. the home side were 19—0 to the good until bristol hit 21 points in the last 12 minutes to win the match. magnus bradbury�*s converted try securing victory. in super league, warrington missed the chance to go level on points with the leaders st helens and catalans dragons. the wolves slumping to their third defeat of the season, losing 17—12 at salford red devils. joe mellor was amongst the try scorers for salford as they move up to sixth in the table and level on points with warrington,

wigan and hull kr. great britain have won four gold medals on the first day of finals at the european rowing championships in hungary. helen glover stepping up her pursuit of a third olympic title in paris this summer by helping the british crew win the women's four, beating the defending champions romania, who were second. jake jarman took gold in the vault at the european gymnastics championships in italy, continuing his build—up to the olympics. that makes him the current european and world vault champion. jarman will have the chance to earn another medal in today's team final after they qualified second for the event, which you'll be able to watch via the bbc sport website and app from 2:30pm.

in the training gym, when sometimes you might be having a terrible day or a terrible week, it is really hard to track progress, and to be able to commit to a competition and keep building on success is a really promising thing, and i really hope i can take this momentum towards the olympics, if i make the team. we will have more of a gymnastics later this morning breakfast. —— more on the gymnastics. ronnie o'sullivan is back at the world snooker championship this morning. the rocket, who's looking to win a record eighth title at the crucible, takes on ryan day in the second round. stephen maguire will resume 10—6 up on shaun murphy. qualifierjakjones is through to the quarter—finals. the welshman beat last year's semi finalist see jah—wee by 13 frames to nine to make the last eight for the second year running. he'll playjudd trump in the quarters. and the 2019 champion trump, who beat tom ford, has revealed that he's rejected an approach to join a potential breakaway snooker tour. the 2019 champion said he was "not interested one bit." there's been increased speculation the sport's biggest names could be

tempted to leave the existing world snooker tour and play in lucrative events elsewhere. i have absolutely no doubt that i will be playing on this tour for the foreseeable future. i think for me, playing in exhibition series or whatever it is, it is not right for me at this moment in time. i've got so much left to achieve in the game, and money, for me, at this moment in time, is not the priority. i need to hopefully put some question marks to bed and stuff like that. the british number one cam norrie is through to the third round of the madrid open tennis. norrie, bottom of your screen here, beat the brazilian teenager joao fonseca in straight sets to make it to round three for the third successive year. he'll next play the norwegian fifth seed, and two—time french open runner—up casper ruud, who won the barcelona title last week. and rafael nadal has his first win over a top 20 player in 527 days after he beat alex de minaur in straight sets in madrid.

big win for nadal against the player who beat him in barcelona ten days prior. this is most likely rafa's final season on the tour and he'll play argenitina's pedro cachin next. the french open just under a the french openjust under a month away, rafael nadal desperate to be there and looking good for the moment. ., ., , ., ., moment. indeed, and he loves roland garros, doesn't _ moment. indeed, and he loves roland garros, doesn't he? _ moment. indeed, and he loves roland garros, doesn't he? that _ moment. indeed, and he loves roland garros, doesn't he? that is _ moment. indeed, and he loves roland garros, doesn't he? that is for - garros, doesn't he? that is for sure. garros, doesn't he? that is for sure, ., ., , . garros, doesn't he? that is for sure, ., .,, . ., garros, doesn't he? that is for sure. ., . ., , , ., sure. fantastic to see helen glover back to winning _ sure. fantastic to see helen glover back to winning as _ sure. fantastic to see helen glover back to winning as well, _ sure. fantastic to see helen glover back to winning as well, with - sure. fantastic to see helen glover back to winning as well, with the i back to winning as well, with the rest of her team. amazing that she has done that. it is now 7:41am. it's almost 70 years since donald campbell became the fastest man on water in his iconic hydroplane bluebird, smashing the 200 miles—per—hour barrier in front of crowds on the shores of ullswater in the lake district. now previously unseen photos of the daredevil in action back in 1955 have been discovered, and the search is on for somewhere

central, eastern and north—eastern parts of england. that will continue certainly for the next few hours, easing away from the midlands and south—east, slowly, becoming persistent for southeast scotland. some showers —— sunshine for the west of scotland, england, wales and northern ireland. the stronger swings will be to be is where gusts had been up to 30 miles an hour, more than that close to the coast. with the wind and rain it will feel chilly close to the east coast, 7— 12 degrees. but warmer, 13 or so in the sunnier spells in the west. heavy rain will push over the northeast this evening and tonight, drierfor many of northeast this evening and tonight, drier for many of us, lingering most towards the northern aisles. then the rain comes in northern ireland in the early hours of monday morning. a breeze and some rain around for most of us a frost free night. there could be frost for parts of scotland to start the working week. into monday, low pressure again close to us moving

from the west this time. it will bring some rain initially across northern ireland. it's presented scotland, north—west england and wales in the southwest as well. but we are looking at a better day, much improved for central, southern and eastern england. try that it has been through the weekend but warmer as well, up to about 80 degrees for the london region. typically most of us only about 12—14 with the rain, the breeze around as well. low pressure towards the west into tuesday. higher pressure out towards the east into intercontinental europe, meaning that winds will come from a different direction, bringing us a milder airflow. from a different direction, bringing us a milderairflow. into from a different direction, bringing us a milder airflow. into tuesday, drier and brighterfor much of central and eastern england, eastern scotland some sunshine. still some showers around, frequently having towards the west. cool in belfast, just 12. but 18 for norwich and london. through next week, you're probably been hanging out for something warmer on the clouds. 20 degrees was the south. still some showers, especially in the west, but

ladies and gentlemen, - this is your call to take your places for the performance. places, please. places. ok, they're ready for you. good luck. thank you! heartbeat thumps your heart is racing. the adrenaline is flowing. this is your moment. applause it's time to conquer your nerves, face the crowd, and let all that practice pay off. # sweeter than roses. . . # some say it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become

an expert and, forjosephine shaw, this performance is part of that journey as she blows our socks off with a rendition of sweeter than roses to a very unusual audience. trills i've always loved singing. my parents say i was a bit of an annoying child growing up — i was making lots of weird noises and apparently would hum myself to sleep. so, eventually, they were like, "let's put this into something "useful," and got me some singing lessons. talk to me about nerves. do you get them? and how do you get over them? yeah, i get nervous all the time. getting over them, it's always a tricky balance. sometimes, the adrenaline helps you but also, you don't want the nerves to affect your singing or your technique if you're getting all tense. music distorts, cuts out researchers here at the royal college of music in london say that practising and then performing is very

different to practising performing. and so, while it's difficult to get regular access to the real theatres and venues, they can simulate the experience here, in their performance laboratory. and that simulation begins before they step out into the lights. one of the things we've learned from our research is that our body's stress response to performance can be as, if not more, powerful backstage than it is onstage. it's that anticipation of performance where anxiety can really hit. and this helps us tailor ourtraining to make sure we're not only preparing them for what happens onstage, under the lights, in front of the audience's eyes, but also how they're coping backstage. how do they manage that anxiety? how do they get themselves physically and mentally into a place where they're ready to walk out onstage and give their best performance? the parallel to that in the surgical world would be allowing surgical students to go through the process

of gowning up, washing up, doing a preoperative briefing with their team and making sure that they're all on the same page. and once the students are onstage, george waddell can control everything. he can change the venue. he can change the reaction to make the night go as well... silence ..or as badly as he wants. the performance laboratory is running in unreal engine, the video game software. each member of the audience is an individual video games character. they all behave independently and they don't all always show up — i got lucky tonight! and what's really interesting about this space as well is there are 64 speakers hidden in the walls and ceilings, so if you change the venue, that changes the acoustics, which forces you to change your performance. getting that sense of the acoustic makes it not so huge a jump when you're then performing onstage, compared to in all the practice rooms we have, which tend to be

a much drier sound. so, when it's suddenly a much bigger space that you have to fill, it's great to get a little bit of an experience of what it might sound like ahead of time. so, there's the prep, there's the lights, there's the sound. but let's talk about that audience. it's a weird crowd in tonight, i can tell you. we want to test our performers' focus. we want to make sure they can hold it together. so, that might be very subtle — a little cough, perhaps. soft coughing and it might be more dramatic. phone rings audience member shushes the performer is expected to ignore this, i guess. that's right. and even if there's a momentary lapse, it's about then continuing after that. i mean, performers make mistakes. it's how they react after that mistake that sets apart the professional. for many of our performers, it's not actually this full house that is the most intimidating to them, it's perhaps when the marketing hasn't gone so well... laughs

..and there are just a rare few in the audience. this can be quite intimidating, trying to bring that energy to a sparse crowd. i've been there! now, it is possible to practise more thanjust musical performances here — public speaking, business presentations — the venue and the audience are ready for any type of rehearsal. and then, there's this lot. yes, you can even simulate an audition panel. george can make each of thejudges purr like sharon osbourne or sneer like simon cowell. so, what are they going to make of this little stand—up routine i knocked up with the help of chatgpt? good evening. how's everyone doing tonight? i mean, have you seen those vocal processors? they can turn a voice that sounds like a dying cat into something that could rival freddie mercury. how did it do that? thank you! i think we've heard enough. yeah. yeah, i think i'll leave it to the experts. # ..is love to me.#

cheering and applause # oh, i'm living my best life # best life...# welcome to miami — a city of golden beaches, glamour and entertainment... # wanting it, wanting more...# ..and the home of the miami heat basketball team. # i just want to celebrate # life's too short.# tonight, i'mjoining fans for a match. it's an experience not to miss when visiting this city — as much about the pre—game entertainment as it is about the sport. but this isn'tjust a sports team — this is a tech start—up. most people wouldn't think of this when thinking of a professional sports team, but we have a very robust technology operation. as spectators move around

the venue, data is carefully being gathered about everything they do and purchase before being analysed on the team's own data platform that they call 601 analytics. we knew that we had reached an inflection point — and this was roughly eight, nine years ago — where we have all of this technology in the building and we wanted to know what the technology was telling us. and so, we went to market to see if there was anything out there. we couldn't find anything, so we started building it for ourselves. after a few years, we found it really impacted our business. so, think about from the time you walk into a building, the time you purchase a ticket, you purchase something at food and beverage. i can even see when folks scan into the building what gates they're coming in from, so if we need to redeploy staff and release the bottleneck. we can see what people are doing in the arena. we can see whether they're transacting with us, whatjerseys they're buying, where they're buying them at ourfingertips.

it's like having an app for your entire business. not only does the 601 analytics platform create individual fan profiles, it can also be used to analyse historical data and make predictions about future games. this allows the team to bring in the right resources, potentially saving money. it's perhaps not a surprise that data about all these transactions is being gathered but what strikes me is that this is a sports club taking the tech into their own hands and spinning out a successful start—up. it is an interesting model but i think that's what contributes to our success because if you think of a tech company and the customers that they serve, how many tech companies actually live in the customers' world day in and day out and get their questions and their asks and understand their problems? now, their services are being used by more than 20% of nba

teams and their market is growing with customers beyond just the main basketball league. now, this start—up are taking their product outside of the us, too — theirfirst venue using this tech in the uk opening in manchester this year. but back to miami, and the data being gathered at this stadium is helping in some slightly more unusual places. you might think everything here is about the action on the court but this is miami so, of course, there's a nightclub underneath the stand. # so, baby, why don't you dance with me? # baby # wanna see ya # dance with me # closer...$ it's a straight—up nightclub. it's ultra lounge, nightclub, loud music, lights going everywhere, cryo effects, confetti and stuff like that. so, that's kind

of what we do here. data is even helping you choose the music for the nightclub? it helps us put together music platforms that, you know, are very, very, very broad, you know? so, pre—game experience, given the fact of what our demographic breakdown is, i know that we need to play music that is going to cater, you know, from all the way from the '60s all the way up to current music. with the game about to start, the fans are packing into the stadium, but do they realise just how much data is being gathered about them? you don't realise it but you are aware, because when you log into your amazon account and it remembers the kind of paper towel that you last ordered, that's a piece of data on you, but you find it relevant and you find it helpful. we try to do the same thing, and we're doing it because the fans expect it. with technology now impacting every aspect of running a business, i'm sure it won't be long before more sports teams are following the start—up model of miami heat.

thank you. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: the prime minister refuses to rule out a summer election,

as conservative mp dan poulter defects to labour. i found it increasingly difficult to look my nhs colleagues in the eye, my patients in the eye and my constituents in the eye with good conscience. scottish first minister humza yousaf faces an uncertain future, but dismisses the idea of an alliance with the alba party. the record—breaking piece of titanic history. a gold watch belonging to a passenger on the doomed liner sells for £9,000,000. sells for £900,000. a sixth women's six nations title in a row for england, who also seal a third consecutive grand slam after a dominant win in france. and slam after a dominant win in france. good morning pretty and good morning. we have some re wet and good morning. we have some pretty wet and _ and good morning. we have some pretty wet and windy _ and good morning. we have some pretty wet and windy weather - and good morning. we have some pretty wet and windy weather at i pretty wet and windy weather at times— pretty wet and windy weather at times for— pretty wet and windy weather at times for much of eastern england and northern scotland is but there will be _ and northern scotland is but there will be some sunshine working its way in _ will be some sunshine working its way in from — will be some sunshine working its way in from the west. i will have all the _

dr poulter will stay as an mp until the next general election which he and the labour party are calling for as soon as possible. whenever the election is, rishi sunak doesn't have long to haul his party out of the political hole it's in. while he will hope the doctor's defection to labour is a one—off and quickly forgotten, voters may see a tory party struggling to hold itself together. ben wright, bbc news. let's speak to our political correspondent, georgia roberts. georgia, this isn't good timing for the conservatives, is it, especially as we're hearing this morning that rishi sunak hasn't ruled out a july election?

but a source close to him says the first minister would not agree to an electoral pact with the - alba party. our scotland editor. james cook has more. these are difficult days for humza yousaf, facing an uncertain outlook as he tries to shore up support for his minority government. that's because he decided to end a power—sharing deal with the scottish greens. it is in the best interests of the people of scotland to pursue a different arrangement. therefore, the scottish green msps have decided that we will support a vote of no confidence in the first minister _ the greens are still furious and insist they will not back mr yousaf in a confidence vote in the coming days. nonetheless, the snp leader has written to all the opposition leaders at holyrood, arguing people want to see political parties work together and inviting them to discuss their concerns and priorities. ash regen of the alba party could be the kingmaker, her support alone might be enough for mr yousaf to survive.

alba party's leader, alex salmond, told the sunday times mr yousaf might win her over by striking an electoral pact in which snp candidates stood aside in favour of alba in some seats in future elections. but a source close to mr yousaf called the idea "a fantasy and ridiculous". the main opposition say the first minister has run out of road. i think it's an act of desperation on the part of the current first minister. we've had plenty of opportunities to co—operate over the years, but to be frank with you, what i'm looking at is a very chaotic government that's frankly incompetent and embarrassing to the people of scotland. well, humza yousaf is one of the most divisive and incompetent first ministers scotland has ever seen, and it shows how desperate he is that he is humiliatingly having to write to his political opponents in order to save his political skin. it's quite clear that both scottish conservatives and the scottish people do need a letter from humza yousaf and that is his letter of resignation. even so, the snp leader still hopes

to hold talks with his opponents as he struggles to secure enough support to keep hisjob. james cook, bbc news. meanwhile, the liberal democrats are promising the return of the family doctor, if they were to win the next general election. the party's leader, sir ed davey, says the policy would give over 70s and those with a long—term health condition — almost 19 million people — access to a named gp with the aim of helping people live independently in their own homes wherever possible. around 350 migrants are believed to have crossed the channel in small boats on saturday — making the most of calm weather. the french authorities say they rescued a further 99 people in three boats who had got into difficulty at sea. a british man who was attacked by a bull sharkjust ten metres off the coast of the caribbean island of tobago is in a stable condition in intensive care. 64—year—old peter smith has serious injuries to his left arm,

left leg and stomach after the attack on friday. the foreign office says it is supporting the family. hamas has released a video of two hostages being held in gaza. 0mri miran and keith siegel were both captured when hamas launched its attacks on israel on october 7th. the undated footage — filmed under duress — is the first positive proof that the two men are still alive. it comes as hamas said it was studying israel's latest proposalfor a truce. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, is set to travel to saudi arabia tomorrow for another round of talks with arab leaders, where he will again push for a ceasefire in gaza. this will be his seventh trip to the middle east since the war began. he'll also use the summit to underscore the need to keep up the recent increase in aid to the territory. the disgraced hollywood film producer, harvey weinstein,

has been hospitalised in new york, just days after the city's top court overturned his 2020 rape conviction. weinstein is still serving 16 years for rape from a separate case in los angeles. his lawyers say the 72—year—old is undergoing tests and is being kept in hospital for observation. a gold pocket watch worn by the wealthiest passenger on board the titanic has sold for £900,000 at auction — six times the asking price. with all the fees rolled in as well, it is £1.1 million. it originally belonged to businessmanjohnjacob astor, who died after the ship hit an iceberg and sunk in 1912. the watch is now the highest amount ever paid for a single item from the doomed liner, as our correspondent duncan kennedy reports. 105,000. there's nothing like the titanic to evoke memories, passion and buyers. this auction included one of the items that titanic collectors

desire most of all — it's the gold pocket watch belonging to a passenger believed to be one of the richest people in the world, johnjacob astor. he and 1,500 others died when the ship sank in april 1912 in the north atlantic. what jj astor's watch represents is something touchable from history, which is why people are still willing to pay so much money for it. the bidding for the watch started way beyond the estimate of £150,000 and kept climbing. £900,000. applause add on all the fees, and the anonymous buyer will pay £1.17 million, a world record for an item from the titanic. at the end of the day, this price reflects not only the importance of the astor watch but also the enduring appeal of the titanic story. books, films and documentaries have kept the titanic story alive, but it is artefacts like these that

make it tangible and desirable. duncan kennedy, bbc news in wiltshire. what a treasure, and actually, when you see it up against the violin case behind it, which also went for a lot of money, it is so tiny, isn't it, the pocket watch? find a lot of money, it is so tiny, isn't it, the pocket watch?— a lot of money, it is so tiny, isn't it, the pocket watch? and you only need one person _ it, the pocket watch? and you only need one person in _ it, the pocket watch? and you only need one person in the _ it, the pocket watch? and you only need one person in the room - it, the pocket watch? and you only need one person in the room or. need one person in the room or connected on the phone to someone who will pay but it it is a lovely little auctioneer in the west country, it looks like something out of bargain oz. country, it looks like something out of bargain 02-— of bargain oz. yes, a very big bardain of bargain oz. yes, a very big bargain hunt. _ of bargain oz. yes, a very big bargain hunt. time _ of bargain oz. yes, a very big bargain hunt. time for - of bargain oz. yes, a very big bargain hunt. time for the - of bargain oz. yes, a very big - bargain hunt. time for the weather which looks like it is on the up, slowly, sarah. —— bargain hunt. yes. slowly, sarah. -- bargain hunt. yes, dood slowly, sarah. -- bargain hunt. yes, good morning. _ slowly, sarah. -- bargain hunt. yes, good morning, some _ slowly, sarah. —— bargain hunt. yes, good morning, some others are waking up good morning, some others are waking up to blue _ good morning, some others are waking up to blue sky this morning but others — up to blue sky this morning but others have grey sky and some big puddles _ others have grey sky and some big puddles out there as well because it has been _ puddles out there as well because it has been raining very heavily overnight and this is the picture in st albans— overnight and this is the picture in st albans where this dog looks like it is out— st albans where this dog looks like

becoming infected with hiv through contaminated blood products. he was treated at the rv! in newcastle for haemophilia. when he contracted hiv, his family were targeted. i remember you weren't allowed to use the baths. we had to go to the doctors and have blood tests — me, my brother and my mam — make sure we weren't infected. the distinct memory is going on my paper round and our front door had been daubed in in writing with "aids" and, like, a skull and crossbones on there. so that was very harrowing as well. after the devastating loss of his father, dave married and had children. he became a postmaster in the early 2000s and ran two shops in ferryhill. he noticed straight away discrepancies with his accounts. i can remember distinctly only weeks in and a few weeks, and we had a shortage

of something like 1,300 quid, which is a lot of money. dave spoke to his solicitor who gave him some advice. he says, "you've got two choices. "you either sign the cash account, which is admitting "that you're responsible for the shortages," he says. "but if you believe you're not responsible for the shortages, why "would you sign the cash account?" they came and did an audit. there were some outstanding discrepancies there, which i'd already told the helpline about, where they were, and i refused to sign the cash accounts. and on that basis, they terminated my contract and then pursued me through the civil court, took a charge on my property for the shortfalls. dave was one of the 555 postmasters who agreed a settlement with the post office. he received £14,000 in compensation. but it's life without a father that has undoubtedly had the biggest impact on dave.

whoever was commissioning the buying of the blood, you know, this will come out in the inquiry. that's where the blame lies, really. you know, no fault of my father's, no fault of us. we were just following the advice we were given, thinking we were taking the best advice. unfortunately, it cost him his life. that was dave barry talking to philippa goymer about the effects of those two scandals on his family. —— dave farrie. it's an issue we've talked about a lot on breakfast in recent weeks — calls for the introduction of graduated driving licences to help minimise the risk to young and novice drivers. it follows a campaign by families who've lost loved ones in crashes — and backing from the aa. it's also something which driving instructor kevin dyas supports. phillip norton has the story. your first wheels can be fun, but for young drivers,

it can often end in serious injury or death, if not for them, for passengers or others on the road. kevin dyas is a driving instructor and also the chair of grimsby instructors association. he wants to see tougher restrictions on new drivers to lower casualty numbers. i think we need to relook at what we do for younger drivers because they are younger. the bit of the brain that deals with risk is towards the front, our brains develop from the back. so it is the last part of the brain that actually begins — orfinishes developing. government figures show a fifth of all fatal or serious injury crashes involved a young driver, with those aged between 17 to 24 four times as likely to be killed or seriously injured as those over 25. kevin's had a personal experience with one of his students. there was a [ad that i took for about five or six lessons. even at that time could i recognise an underestimating of risk. he did go on to have a crash.

he survived it, he was left seriously injured for quite some time, but it killed his female passenger. one idea he embraces is a graduated driving licence for young drivers, which could see restrictions on things like passenger numbers and driving at night. for the night is a different beast. i think it's a good idea because they take their lessons, they pass their test, and they're driving nicely. and the minute they pass their test, well, they're young. you've got your test next week. how would you feel if you couldn't take passengers straight after it? for me personally, it wouldn't bother me that much. i'm only commuting to and from work and maybe going to my mates' here and there. so it wouldn't really bother me that much, but it differs from person to person. the government needs to take a handle on on this and think we need to do _ something different here. we need to look at these graduated licenses. they work in lots of other countries. let's find one that works

for us and go forward with it and lead something here. the government currently says it has no plans to introduce a graduated license, but says it's researching support for young drivers. and targeting them in road safety campaigns. phillip norton, bbc news. lets speak now to driving instructor sue papworth. this has become a really important to discussion around graduated driving licences. it really seems to be gathering momentum but i know that you don't feel it is the complete answer. can you explain why? i complete answer. can you explain wh ? . , . complete answer. can you explain wh? . why? i am very concerned about 17-year-olds _ why? i am very concerned about 17-year-olds are _ why? i am very concerned about 17-year-olds are predominantly | why? i am very concerned about - 17-year-olds are predominantly being 17—year—olds are predominantly being in a car— 17—year—olds are predominantly being in a caralone— 17—year—olds are predominantly being in a car alone by themselves, making all the _ in a car alone by themselves, making all the decisions, but i find it hard — all the decisions, but i find it hard to— all the decisions, but i find it hard to believe it is going to be policed — hard to believe it is going to be policed and enforced because there is so much — policed and enforced because there is so much more for them to learn after— is so much more for them to learn after they— is so much more for them to learn after they passed their tests, country—

at the grimes graves english heritage site in norfolk, where there are hundreds of neolithic flint mines dug 4,500 years ago. our reporter edd smith has been to find out more. from the air, you can see how the 430 mines dug in the heart of thetford forest have transformed the landscape. each of the hollows that we're walking through and the hollow that we're coming to is the remains of a 4,500—year—old mineshaft. each one about ten, 12 meters deep and a huge undertaking. historians say that these pits were dug using picks made from the antlers of red deer. they're very simple tools, about this sort of size. and they would have had to mine down by hand. and that's hundreds of tons worth of material that they are having to take out by hand. so they're probably only digging maybe one mine per year. so to get this whole entire mine field, we're talking about hundreds of years. as you climb down into the pit, it's hard to imagine digging this out without modern machinery. the flint they gathered from the mines was used by the neolithic people to make

tools that were crucial for their survival. tunnels like this one connect the mineshafts. you canjust see how small the space is — it's only about a metre high. i think we have so many incredible ancient sites across english heritage's portfolio, but this to me is like the absolute jewel, because you're seeing kind of marks made by man that long ago where they actually are. you can kind of see the people crawling through, you can picture them with their lamps, you can picture them holding those kind of pickaxes and kind of taking out this chalk and this flint. i think it reallyjust brings the entire space alive like no other site. the opening of this mineshaft lets us see how our ancestors worked here in the east, allowing us to get up close to archaeology. robbie west, bbc news. sunday with laura kuenssberg is on bbc two at nine o'clock this morning. let's find out what she has in store. this morning at 9:00 on bbc one,

the interview that's been making the headlines. dr dan poulter, was, until late afternoon yesterday, a conservative mp, but he's done that rare thing, quit his party and crossed to the other side. you can hear our interview with him and hear how the government reacts to it. all that and plenty more besides, including an interview with one of america's most famous politicians, a close ally of president biden, nancy pelosi. that's laura on bbc one at 9am. we will have all the sport for you in just a moment.

hello this is breakfast with rachel burden and rogerjohnson. thanks forjoining us on bbc two and the bbc news channel. time thanks forjoining us on bbc two and the bbc news channel.— thanks forjoining us on bbc two and the bbc news channel. time for some sort and the bbc news channel. time for some sport and we — the bbc news channel. time for some sport and we will— the bbc news channel. time for some sport and we will start _ the bbc news channel. time for some sport and we will start off— the bbc news channel. time for some sport and we will start off with - sport and we will start off with another fabulous run for england's women's rugby team. england dominant, outstanding, the

force in women's rugby and you can see marley packer to our left with her hands on the trophy. she was in the england side that last lost six nations match six years ago, that was in france. some really big smiles and really lovely to see her afterwards with her son oliver in her hands. this means a huge amount of them, it might be number six, third consecutive grand slam but it is outstanding from this england side who deftly have half an eye to the rugby world cup which happens in england next year. they were dominant in france, their only other realistic rivals for this title yesterday. england beating france by 42 points to 21 in bordeaux. john mitchell's first six nations in charge of the red roses, what a partnership he has struck up with marley packer. jo currie reports. the most dominant force in women's rugby, six titles in a row, simply untouchable. in front of the home crowd, the french resistance had lasted

all of four minutes. maud muir with a touchdown to get england rolling. now, when you're struggling to get a foothold, you can't hand england the ball — literally. this was a gift france could not afford to give. but here's a rapid reply, and much—needed. france desperately trying to keep themselves in touching distance of england. france's challenges, though, grew after the restart — reduced to 14 players for this high tackle. but that seemed to only deepen their resolve. this wasn't a comeback, but it would restore some pride. before alex matthews wrapped up the game with her second try of the match. the championship secure and barely a sweat broken to win it. still, important to rehydrate. we'll keep growing as a group. we've just won a grand slam here in bordeaux, what an amazing atmosphere it has been, it's been quite hostile, obviously, it's the french crowd, but this means we can turn it up when we need to. even on french soil this was england's show, and that is very

much their trophy. six in a row, just another reminder to the world that they're still the team to beat. jo currie, bbc news, bordeaux. wales finished bottom of the six nations table — despite a win over italy. they needed a bonus point victory to ensure they didn't end up with the wooden spoon this year — they won it by 22—20. theirfirst home win over italy since 2012, and in front of a record crowd at the principality stadium for a women's test ofjust over 10,500. ireland edged scotland 15—12 in a close game in belfast to finish third and qualify for the 2025 world cup. both sides with two tries apiece but an irish penalty proved to be the difference. emma hayes' voiced herfrustrations about the referee after her hopes of leaving chelsea this summer with the champions league were ended by barcelona. they brought a one—goal lead

back to stamford bridge but aitana bonmati's first half strike cancelled that out. kadeisha buchanan was then sent off, a second yellow card and a decision hayes called the "worst in women's champions league history." she said her side were robbed by the decision to give barca a penalty too — fridolina rolfo scoring sending the spanish side through, 2—0 on the night, 2—1 on aggregate. this was the only major trophy hayes hadn't won at the club. how significant could this weekend prove to be in the premier league title race? after liverpool dropped points again, the top two both play today. the champions manchester city are at nottingham forest but before that the leaders arsenal, just a point above them in the table having played a game more, face tottenham away in the north london derby. spurs are a chasing a top four finish, meaning there's a lot riding on this afternoon for both managers. we have to look at ourselves and try to perform the best possible way, when our matches, and wait to see what happens.

what i can tell you is that the boys are going to be fully ready on sunday to go, to play against a great opponent. everything is very difficult for us, we are going to have to be very good to beat them. we understand the importance of the game and we understand the importance of, you know, particularly at home in these kinds of games, to not let our biggest rival, the biggest star before us, get on top of us. we understand the consequences of that. in the championship, ipswich missed the chance to move into the automatic promotion places after being held to a 3—3 draw at hull. in the championship, ipswich missed the chance to move they were heading into second place in the table with three minutes to go — but substitute noah ohio pounced with the late equaliser. it's still in ipswich's hand's, they need four points from their last two games to secure a return to the premier league for the first time in over 20 years. derby county will be back

in the second tier of english football next season, after sealing their promotion from league one on the final day of the season. they only needed a draw against the division's bottom side carlisle united, but max bird and james collins got the goals in a 2—0 win, as theyjoin portsmouth in the championship next season. bolton, peterborough, oxford united and barnsley are in the play—offs. just three points separate the leaders celtic from rangers going into a big afternoon in the scottish premiership. rangers are at st mirren before celtic play at dundee meanwhile in the women's scottish cup — rangers got the better of celtic to reach the final. two late goals were needed at hampden park — revenge for rangers who lost to their glasgow rivals in last season's final. hearts play spartans in the other semi today. harlequins scored six tries on their way to a 41—32 victory over premiership leaders northampton. will porter helping the home side get over the line with two late tries at twickenham.

this win boosts their hopes of acchieving a play—off place, they are level on points with fourth place bristol who themselves saw a remarkable end to their match against leicester. the home side were 19—0 to the good until bristol hit 21 points in the last 12 minutes to win the match. magnus bradbury�*s converted try securing victory. in super league, warrington missed the chance to go level on points with the leaders st helens and catalans dragons. the wolves slumping to their third defeat of the season, losing 17—12 at salford red devils. joe mellor was amongst the try scorers for salford as they move up to sixth in the table and level on points with warrington, wigan and hull kr. ronnie o'sullivan is back at the world snooker championship this morning. the rocket — who's looking to win a record eighth title at the crucible — takes on ryan day in the second round. stephen maguire will resume 10—6 up on shaun murphy. qualifierjakjones is through to the quarter—finals, the welshman beat last year's semi finalist si jiahui by 13 frames

to nine to make the last eight for the second year running. he'll playjudd trump in the quarters. and the 2019 champion trump — who beat tom ford — has revealed that he's rejected an approach to join a potential breakaway snooker tour. the 2019 champion said he was "not interested one bit". there's been increased speculation the sport's biggest names could be tempted to leave the existing world snooker tour and play in lucrative events elsewhere. i have absolutely no doubt that i'll be playing on this tour for the foreseeable future. i think for me, playing in exhibition series or whatever it is, it's not right for me at this moment in time. i've got so much left to achieve in the game, and money, for me, at this moment in time is not the priority. i need to hopefully put some question marks to bed and stuff like that. the british number one cam norrie is through to the third round of the madrid open tennis. norrie, bottom of your screen here,

beat the brazilian teenager joao fonseca in straight sets to make it to round three for the third successive year. he'll next play the norwegian fifth seed — and two time french open runner—up casper ruud, who won the barcelona title last week. and rafael nadal has his first win over a top 20 player in 527 days after he beat alex de minaur in straight sets in madrid. big win for nadal — against the player who beat him in barcelona ten days prior. this is most likely rafa's final season on the tour and he'll play argenitina's pedro cachin next. great britain have won four gold medals on the first day of finals at the european rowing championships in hungary helen glover stepping up her pursuit of a third olympic title in paris this summer by helping the british crew win the women's four, beating the defending champions romania who were second.

as part of a relay team running from london to paris in an effort to try to bring trail running to the olympic games. do we really need to have more running in the olympic games? that's a good point. but i think this is more real running what our ancestors did, what sort of the human is used to. we're not naturally made to run around in a circle, naturally made to clamber over rocks and through trees and things like that. 1924 was the last time any sort of off—road running was part of the olympics. health and safety concerns meant it never returned. but today, its popularity appears to be growing, with the likes of russ cook from sussex, nicknamed the hardest geezer, successfully running the full length of africa in 352 days. now, will wants to see more people experience the benefits of trail running. there was one morning, within five minutes i saw loads of rabbits, woodpeckers and a few deer, and like you just kind of feel like you're hunting almost.

you'rejust going through the countryside. ithink... ..if we inspire that in younger generations as well — nothing wrong with that. it's quite difficult to get a new sport into the olympics. you have to apply to be a recognised sport and then you have to go through all sorts of different hoops to move up until you finally can compete in the olympics. the campaigners are hoping trail running will be back for the brisbane games in 2032. will knows the road to get there will be tough, but as an off—road runner, he's prepared for a hard slog. charlie rose, bbc news. i would director has just said, back in the day that was called cross—country! that is what puts people off, i think. cross-country! that is what puts people off, ithink.— people off, i think. trail running sounds a bit _ people off, i think. trail running sounds a bit more... _ people off, i think. trail running sounds a bit more... it- people off, i think. trail running sounds a bit more... it does - people off, i think. trail running| sounds a bit more... it does and --eole sounds a bit more... it does and people who _ sounds a bit more... it does and people who do _ sounds a bit more... it does and people who do it _ sounds a bit more... it does and people who do it are _ sounds a bit more... it does and people who do it are brilliant - sounds a bit more... it does and people who do it are brilliant at | people who do it are brilliant at it. in people who do it are brilliant at it. ., people who do it are brilliant at it. . ., , ., , people who do it are brilliant at it. in all weathers as well, it has to be said _

mike davies developed sepsis and had to have both his hands and feet amputated. but since then, he has become one of the few people in the world to undergo a double hand transplant. our reporter sara smith went to find out what a difference it has made to his life. the muscles are not working. so particularly my left hand can't catch, my right hand can a little. around a year since mike davis got his new hands and they are he says a work in progress. and we're just about getting there with a little bit of that along the way. meningitis nearly took his life. it did take his hands and feet. he learned to live with prosthetic feet. but it was only six years later that he became the 10th person in the country to have a hand transplant. they're becoming very useful. i can now pick up two things at once, even though the muscles are not working yet, and it's a delight, i open a door, i'm driving with this. i now use hand controls for driving.

so they're tremendous. mike now lends his voice, his experience to the push to eradicate meningitis, most recently by speaking at a meeting in paris, which it's hoped signals real change. for the first time, there is a high level meeting of the world health organisation with senior representatives from who, but also other global organisations and governments around the world who are going to get together and commit action to really defeat this disease. the plan includes improved diagnosis, prevention and getting the vaccine out there. and mike visits colleges to talk to students about the difference the vaccine can make. they might blanch and say, "i don't want a jab. i don't want i don't like needles." i say, "in my first five months after i lost my hands and legs, i had 400 jabs." that then persuades them to come and have one and that's quite successful. he knows, of course, that his life changing

surgery means another family is grieving the loss of the person who became his donor. what a tremendous gift to give. and i want to live through these hands and give them the life that they now have given me. a life he didn't choose but says he's fortunate to have. sarah smith, bbc news. incredible. absolutely remarkable and he is one _ incredible. absolutely remarkable and he is one of— incredible. absolutely remarkable and he is one of ten. _ incredible. absolutely remarkable and he is one of ten. i _ incredible. absolutely remarkable| and he is one of ten. i interviewed recently for a new show i'm doing on radio for which you can listen to on bbc sounds, a woman in scotland who has also had a double hand transplant and now she has a 90% function back in her hands, just absolutely extraordinary and she talked about getting her motor skills back and one of the things she loved doing most was being able to touch her child and the sense of touch which is so important. i{ignite touch which is so important. quite often with an _ touch which is so important. quite often with an organ _ touch which is so important. quite often with an organ transplant, you don't have those nerve sensations. it is phenomenal, if you want to listen to that and hear a bit more
