later today. a grieving husband says he was given ashes by a funeral director four weeks before his wife was actually cremated. it is almost one year since the death of paul o'grady. and this was a place he loved. battersea dogs and cats home. money donated to the charity since he died has made a huge difference to a number of animals, only the pug being one of them. we will find out about the impact he has had later. good morning. a massive night for welsh football. they want to enjoy scenes like this again, by reaching this summer's euros. but they can only finish thejob this summer's euros. but they can only finish the job if they first beat finland. good morning. another warm and mostly dry day ahead for england and wales, with scotland and northern ireland wet and windy. good morning. millions of women born
6:01 am
in the 1950s who were affected by the government's decision to raise their state pension age in line with men, will find out today if they could be entitled to compensation. the campaign group women against state pension inequality, also known as waspi, says the change plunged tens of thousands of them into poverty. could this be the day they have been fighting for? waspi have been demanding compensation for years, after their plans collapsed. for many, the wait has been painful. suddenly knowing i wasn't going to get it for another six years dramatically affected my standard of living, and it's dramatically affected my standard of living, and its money that i will never get back. but i have accepted that. but i do feel that the

government should have let me, and the other women, no that this delay was coming down the tracks. we had no notice at all. the was coming down the tracks. we had no notice at all.— no notice at all. the state pension ace used no notice at all. the state pension age used to _ no notice at all. the state pension age used to be — no notice at all. the state pension age used to be 64 _ no notice at all. the state pension age used to be 64 women - no notice at all. the state pension age used to be 64 women and - no notice at all. the state pension age used to be 64 women and 65| no notice at all. the state pension i age used to be 64 women and 65 for men. but since 2010, women's state pension age was raised and brought in line with men's. it has risen again since. and today it stands at 66 for both men and women. yet thousands of women born in the 1950s argue the changes happened at too short notice and were badly communicated. waspi argue this affected 3.8 million women, and that many didn't even know they would have to wait longer to receive their state pension. they say they didn't get a chance to plan for it. the parliamentary ombudsman had already ruled government officials were too slow to tell them. today the final
6:03 am
report and its recommendations are expected. but the ombudsman has no power to refund lost pensions. ice we'll keep on fighting till the end... the department for work and pensions has said ministers are unable to comment until after the report has been published. the government has previously argued though that as people continue to live longer, state pension ages had to go up. but these women say they went about it the wrong way. and they're ready for their payday. we will talk more about that in about 25 minutes. time now four minutes past six. we saw inflation came down yesterday in the uk. the implication of that is widely watched, charlie, especially when it comes to what we pay in terms of mortgage repayments and what we receive in terms of interest on savings.
6:04 am
yes, absolutely. the bank of england expected to hold interest rates at 5.2% for the fifth time in a row this lunchtime. the highest they have been for 15 years. it is also expected to be cautious about signalling when further correct my future rate cuts will be. ben boulos has been taking a look. when will the cost of mortgages come down and stay down? lenders cut their rates injanuary down and stay down? lenders cut their rates in january for a down and stay down? lenders cut their rates injanuary for a new fixed deals, but they have now crept back up. it fixed deals, but they have now crept back u -. , fixed deals, but they have now crept backu. ,, , fixed deals, but they have now crept backu-. , , ., fixed deals, but they have now crept backu. , , ., ., back up. it is causing a headache for many first-time _ back up. it is causing a headache for many first-time buyers - back up. it is causing a headache for many first-time buyers like i for many first—time buyers like james. i for many first-time buyers like james. h, �* for many first-time buyers like james. �* ., , for many first-time buyers like james. �* . , , james. i can't imagine they will be cominu james. i can't imagine they will be coming down _ james. i can't imagine they will be coming down any _ james. i can't imagine they will be coming down any time _ james. i can't imagine they will be coming down any time soon, - james. i can't imagine they will be coming down any time soon, so i james. i can't imagine they will be l coming down any time soon, so i'm hoping they will level out a little bit so we have more time to actually consider how much we are able to afford each month, rather than having to worry from one month to another if they are going up. mortgages and other loans have become more expensive because they are based on the bank of england's main interest rate, shown by the red
6:05 am
line. that went up sharply over the past two years, reaching 5.2%. the bank coping by making borrowing more expensive, and people having less to spend, that there would be a fall in demand for goods and services, slowing down the average price rises. 0r inflation. shown by the blue line. to ease cost of living crisis. now that inflation has come down sharply from its peak, good interest rate to be cut soon? interest rates are likely to be held~ — interest rates are likely to be held~ it's _ interest rates are likely to be held. it's going to be more of the same _ held. it's going to be more of the same for— held. it's going to be more of the same for many people. so, those people _ same for many people. so, those people looking to remortgage are still probably going to find that they are — still probably going to find that they are going to have to pay a lot more _ they are going to have to pay a lot more in _ they are going to have to pay a lot more in terms of their monthly payments. those people who have enough _ payments. those people who have enough to— payments. those people who have enough to save, on the other hand, can make _ enough to save, on the other hand, can make the most of some better savings _ can make the most of some better savings rates around at the moment. thate— savings rates around at the moment. that's little _ savings rates around at the moment. that's little comfort for the 1.6 million people coming to the end of a fixed mortgage deal this year. they are facing a jump in monthly payments when they renew. last time

6:07 am
mps will have to wait until after easter to vote on the flagship rwanda bill after the house of lords passed a series of further amendments to the draft law. the legislation would revive the government's plans to send more asylum seekers to rwanda, by declaring the country safe. henry zeffman is in westminster. morning. in westminster they call this ping-pong, in westminster they call this ping—pong, don't they? to the outside as it might seem like a curious moment in time where a very big and important debate is had and a decision made, and then goes back and forth? ., ., , , and forth? yeah, i have slightly lost track of _ and forth? yeah, i have slightly lost track of whether _ and forth? yeah, i have slightly lost track of whether this - and forth? yeah, i have slightly lost track of whether this one . and forth? yeah, i have slightly lost track of whether this one is ping or pong. but either way it is coming back from the house of lords to the house of commons, although not until after easter. basically the way the legislative process works in parliament is that you have the house of commons debate a piece of legislation, the house of lords
6:08 am
the —— debate that legislation. but it can't become law until both of them agree on every dotted eye and crossed t. as it stands there are seven amendments, changes the house of lords inserted into that legislation, the rwanda legislation, last night. the government didn't want them in there. so now it comes back to the house of commons, but not until after easter. that's important. what is this legislation about? in the government's eyes it is about finally getting those flights off to rwanda with asylum seekers on them. the fact it isn't coming back to the house of commons until after easter means that is now not likely to happen untiljune at the very earliest. there is a possibility they might be some accommodation on perhaps one or two of the lower key amendments the house of lords insisted upon. but i think it is more likely the house of commons is going to try to take them all out again and hope at that point of the house of lords backs down. that is just the legislative
6:09 am
question. there is then the policy question. there is then the policy question. if this policy actually gets up and running, does it work? is it the deterrent to the government has set for so long it will be? and perhaps for conservative mps who have been pushing for this for so long, the political question, if it does get up political question, if it does get up and running, will it change anybody�*s vote? thank you. a grieving man has claimed he was given ashes by a funeral director four weeks before his wife was actually cremated. peter welborn paid almost £2000 to legacy independent funeral directors in hull, a company being by police. aruna iyengar has the story. the doors are boarded up at legacy funeral directors in hull. there is anger in the community after police raided its premises. they have removed 35 bodies and a quantity of ashes from one of the company's sites. it is part of an ongoing investigation over concerns about the care of the deceased. one of those grieving is former trawlerman and grandad peter welburn.
6:10 am
he paid £1900 to legacy for a funeral for his wife shirley. they'd been married for 33 years. she died on the 25th of november in old hull infirmary. but peter has found out the ashes he was given after her funeral on december the 23rd, just before christmas, might not be hers. he was told by a crematorium in leeds that she was cremated there on the 16th of january, weeks after he was given the ashes by legacy. well, i think he'sjust given me some ashes to keep me peaceful and the bairns all happy over christmas, which is disgusting. theyjust give me anybody�*s ashes. peter says he will keep the ashes he has received save. but he doesn't know who's they are. she didn't deserve all this.
6:11 am
she went through a lot in hospital. as part of the police investigation into legacy, a man and woman have been arrested on suspicion of fraud and prevention of a lawful and decent burial. they have since been released on bail. aruna iyengar, bbc news. a tool has boosted the diagnosis rate of breast cancer by 12% at an nhs trust in scotland. signs were spotted in 11 women which doctors had missed. the tech worked alongside staff analysing thousands of scans over several months. more trials are needed but the royal couege trials are needed but the royal college of art radiologist say the results are encouraging and highlight the use of ai and diagnostics. junior doctors in england have voted overwhelmingly in favour of further strikes in their long—running pay dispute. members of the bma union voted by over 98% in favour of extending the mandate for industrial action.
6:12 am
they have been ten walk—outs by junior doctors in england during the past year. there could be more to come. the allotment of the doctor's' union, the british medical association, had to seek a fresh mandate for strike action. it got that with the backing of 98% of members who voted on a turnover of 62%. there are no new strike days for now, but the union accepts it may be an unsettling time for patients. may be an unsettling time for atients. ., ~' ., may be an unsettling time for atients. ., ~ ., ., , patients. you know, doctors themselves _ patients. you know, doctors themselves are _ patients. you know, doctors themselves are patients. i patients. you know, doctors. themselves are patients. they patients. you know, doctors- themselves are patients. they have friends and family who are patients. and we all know the reality day in, day out online strike days, which is where the health service is struggling. we have a systemic problem in the nhs, where the nhs as a whole is failing. and it's primarily because we have a massive workforce crisis. the primarily because we have a massive workforce crisis-— workforce crisis. the long-running dis - ute workforce crisis. the long-running dispute centres _ workforce crisis. the long-running dispute centres on _ workforce crisis. the long-running dispute centres on pay. _ workforce crisis. the long-running dispute centres on pay. the -

6:14 am
waiting lives. dominic hughes, bbc news. how many easter eggs will you plough through this easter? 0h... through this easter? oh... i wasn't expecting that! it doesn't loom large on my list of priorities, to be honest. but if you got any direct, how soon would you eat it? if easter came and went and i didn't eat an easter egg, i wouldn't be that bothered. say, if you answered the question, it would have been easier for you to say. disappointing news for chocolate lovers. some easter eggs are 50% more expensive than they were last year. 0thers are 50% more expensive than they were last year. others have shrunk in size but the price has not gone down. the consumer association width looked at the price of easter chocolate from brands including maltesers, lint and cadbury being sold in different supermarkets. 0ne sold in different supermarkets. one 999 sold in different supermarkets. 0ne egg or had increased by as much as 62.5%, which is a lot. experts say
6:15 am
it is down to extreme weather having an impact on cocoa harvest, which clearly has an impact. that is a big change. that is a big change. maybe i will need one! i don't know, carol, maybe i will need one. i will eat at least one. how about that? carol, how many are you going to discover? i am off to 0rkney because i hear they have got a glut of them there at the moment. lots of them. charlie, if you want to donate your eggs to me, feel free! there you go! good morning. yesterday it was the warmest day of the year so far in england. 18.8 celsius in charlwood inserie. this morning we are starting off in a cooler note of late. there is some mist and fog on the coasts and hills. and in scotland and northern ireland it is wet and it is windy. so, the rain will be heavy at times as it moves across scotland, sinking southwards. transient snow on higher
6:16 am
ground. windy in the north. as we come further south some of the cloud we start with, will break up. sunny spells coming through. it will be breezy. in any lengthy sunny spells it is quite possibly to could get up to 17 degrees. generally we are looking at nine to 12, north to south. through this evening and overnight the band of rain continues to sink slowly southwards. behind it there will be cooler air, a mixture of showers, some of the wintry and hills. still windy. more cloud coming into the south. temperature wise we could see temperatures where we have the blues in the chart as low as freezing or below. we have got damp surfaces, it is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces but we could also see a touch of frost. but not so further south because we still are in double figures. tomorrow morning we start off with his weather front in the south, producing a fair bit of cloud and
6:17 am
some rain. quite slow to move away. behind that we are back into that cocktail of sunshine and showers. some of the showers will be heavy, potentially thundery. wintry the hills. tomorrow it is going to be windy once again, particularly so across scotland and northern ireland. but especially in the northern and western isles, where we will have gusts of 50 to 60 mph. temperatures tomorrow, six in lerwick to 12 in london. behind the rain temperatures are slipping. a colder weekend because of the wind. thank you. 18 minutes past six. an expert witness was asked by a post office prosecutor to consider 0ffice prosecutor to consider changing his testimony to avoid a damaging concession. this is what the bbc has found. fujitsu engineer garethjenkins rephrased part of a report on the horizon like it system after receiving advice from his barrister, warwick tatford. the case
6:18 am
resulted in sub—postmistresses seema misra been wrongfully imprisoned while pregnant. mark ashdown has this report. the horizon it system was central to the post office scandal. testimony supporting its credibility was used time and again to prosecute sub—postmasters accused of theft or fraud. one was seema misra, accused of stealing £75,000, and eventually sent to jail while she was pregnant. at her trial in 2010, garethjenkins was called as an expert witness, who must act independently of the post office. documents submitted to the public inquiry and seen by the bbc raise questions aboutjust how well he carried out that role. garethjenkins sent his draft witness statement to warwick tatford, a barrister working for the post office. he said he could not 10% — we now know he meant 100% — rule out problems with the horizon screens as a possible cause for some of the shortfalls.
6:19 am
mr tatford responded asking him to please rephrase, as this would be taken as a damaging concession. in his final written testimony of mrjenkins stated no scenario had been presented that could explain losses because of poorly calibrated touchscreens. in another exchange mrjenkins said he agreed with the defence expert that sub—postmaster training issues could account for some shortfalls, stating, "i support his finding regarding discrepancies in cash in on most every period." mr tatford responded, saying his agreement might be interpreted as a concession, that the post office case is entirely flawed. in his final statement mrjenkins instead said that cash discrepancies indicated at least poor management within the branch, and probably something more serious. by law all the draft document should have been shared with seema misra's defence team. but all they saw was the final version after all the changes had been made. she told us she found it horrible, the idea that words were being put into the mouth of an expert witness. herformer solicitor said it was clear her client had been denied a fair trial. seema misra has previously told bbc
6:20 am
breakfast about the toll her conviction has taken on her. if i wouldn't been pregnant i would have killed myself. because for me like i gave a bad name to my family, being too present. so i would say the youngest then kept me alive, and the eldest one kept my husband allowed. i never thought i would come out alive from there. so each and every happy moment of my life since 2005, the post office ruined it. giving evidence to the public inquiry, warwick tatford apologised unreservedly to seema misra, and added the submission. i think it is unfair and i am sorry for that. ican... i think what i was doing wasjust trying to clarify matters and make things clear. but i do agree that i have overstepped the mark there. the metropolitan police is currently investigating mrjenkins and one other fujitsu employee to establish whether they should this face criminal charges. what this evidence shows
6:21 am
is that the net probably should be widening to taking a much wider group of people, including lawyers working within the post office and outside the post office. neither mrjenkins nor mr tatford felt it appropriate to comment further at this stage. the post office said it was focused on righting the wrongs of the past. marc ashdown, bbc news. let's look at the papers. the daily mail leads on the fall in inflation, reporting that mortgage rates could come down within months. it follows comments from the prime minister, who hailed a new economic moment. the daily express focuses on the pension strip lock, reported to be in the conservatives' manifesto for the forthcoming election. it ensures state pensions rise every year. it has been in every conservative manifesto since it was introduced in 2010. the telegraph leads on comments from the work and pensions

secretary warning that britain's approach to mental health is in danger of having gone too far. mel stride unveiled plans to make 150,000 people signed off work with mild conditions look for work. in the daily star, a gold nugget word £30,000. we can see and i'm a metal detector as finding an's biggest ever nugget in shropshire. despite the faulty equipment they still find it. it's very small. did you see the inset picture? £30,000. it is 23 minutes past six. schools fear they are stuck with leaking roofs and decades—old temporary classrooms after the final spots to get rebuilding in england were taken up get rebuilding in england were taken up with those with dangerous contact. bbc find most of the last places in a scheme to rebuild schools went to those with raac, the concrete that caused some schools to close last year and the others miss
6:23 am
out. about 20 years ago, the first iphone was still only an idea. facebook was in its infancy, and taylor swift had her sights set on her first album. and in walsall, 14—year—old mark malik appeared on tv campaigning for a new school building atjoseph leckie academy. nearly two decades later, we invited him back, not just to dissect the noughties' fashion and hairstyles... your hair cut your haircutand your hair cut and changed. still look exactly the same. ..but to tell us what's changed now that the school has given up hope of getting the building replaced. it's been so many years and still, like so many things have not improved, which is very unfortunate because this is such a good school and there's certain things that hold it back basically for us as well.
6:24 am
we have like a music room. like when it's raining i that the roof is leaking into the instruments and everything. it puts me off that to come to this building and work here with all the lessons that, like in different buildings, makes it better, makes it better to learn. the school hall dates from the second world war and is too small to fit even one year group in. so assemblies are live streamed. this building still smells exactly the same. as soon as you go up those stairs, you can smell the damp. the school applied to be rebuilt in 2022, but was rejected. now the final spots on the government's school rebuilding programme in england have been mostly taken up by schools with a specific type of crumbly concrete known as raac. this school doesn't have raac, does it? no. the school's got everything else wrong with it. but what it doesn't have it doesn't have problems with raac. it feels really frustrating. it feels like we've reached a point where we've tried all avenues to get the funding for our building and we don't seem to fall into any
6:25 am
of the categories and we're not eligible for the funding. so there doesn't seem to be a way forward in which we can get the funding. so what about the schools that do have raac? this school in scarborough also applied in 2022 before it even knew it had problems with the concrete. it was turned down then, only to be added last month. it was great to be told that we were going to be on the rebuilding programme and about time too, really. i mean, you know, this is a building that's tired. it's past its sell by date through the fabric of those buildings. there's asbestos within them. it isn't good enough that the students are having to put up with — and it is put up with — these facilities in a in 21st century britain. the department for education said it had identified rac and confirmed how its removal would be funded in a matter of months and had invested more than £15 billion to improve school buildings since 2015. atjoseph leckie, there have at least been some improvements over the past 20 years.
6:26 am
but with a bigger group of year seven students set to squeeze in from september, there's still much work to be done. a lot�*s changed in 20 years. hazel shearing, bbc news. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins. the brother of stephen lawrence, who was killed in a racist attack, says "time is ticking" for the met commissioner to make policing reforms. a year ago, the casey review found institutional racism, misogyny and homophobia in the force. stuart lawrence, who serves on a new policing board set up to monitor the met, told bbc radio london it's not working as it should. baroness casey said that these meetings shouldn't be where the met keeps coming in and saying, this is what i've done and this is how well i've done it. and so far the first three meetings
6:27 am
have been just that. so, in my opinion, we need to do better. we've approached the met for comment. the commissioner has previously promised londoners will see change, and reforms are underway, but it will take time. london boroughs have some of the longest waiting lists for visually impared people needing assessments — according to the royal national institue of blind people. the charity says many people are waiting too long. in london, eight councils have waiting lists of over a year. for some, who have to adapt after sightloss any delay could take its toll. if i had to wait longer, i think then you're wondering who is supporting you? who cares? so then you've got a whole host of sort of mental health ramifications coming on top of the grief of having lost your eyesight, which isjust a terrible place for any person to be in. a new exhibition looking at class and costumes is opening in east london.
6:28 am
costumes including some from notting hill and hackney carnivals will feature in the london college of fashion's exploration of folk traditions, together with the pearly kings and queens and the capital's club culture. there's more details on our website. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning with just minor delays reported on the piccadilly line. now onto the weather with sophia herod. good morning. a cloudy start for many of us today with some mr. today with some mist and murk around in places, but it should stay dry. we have some sunny spells in between the cloud and it will be mild, but things start to change as we have a look to tomorrow. we've got cold air moving in from the north, replacing the milder air. so it will be noticeably colder through the weekend. through today, though, it should stay dry.
6:29 am
we have some sunny spells in between the cloud, potentially some hazy sunshine for a time, and the wind could pick up slightly through the afternoon. highs of around 14 to 16 celsius, though, so it will be mild through the evening into the early hours of tomorrow morning, though, some of that cloud could break away, but it builds up once again as we start the day tomorrow with some mist and murk around, potentially, especially over higher ground. 9 to 11 to start the day. temperatures not picking up much more. and a mixture of sunshine and showers, highs of 12 celsius tomorrow. so unsettled through the weekend and it is going to be colder. that's it — head to our website to find out more about the londoners who are refusing to pay the service charges on their homes after huge price hikes. we're back in half an hour. bye. good morning. you are watching breakfast. �* , ., ., breakfast. let's return to the main sto , breakfast. let's return to the main story. millions _ breakfast. let's return to the main story, millions of _ breakfast. let's return to the main story, millions of women - breakfast. let's return to the main story, millions of women born - breakfast. let's return to the main story, millions of women born in i breakfast. let's return to the main i story, millions of women born in the 19505 story, millions of women born in the 1950s who were affected by the government's decision to raise their

6:49 am
like a crab, so you sort of can't really straighten them out properly. we suspect she's been born with a very common problem in small dogs where the kneecap slip off, stopping herfrom, i guess, being able to run and walk properly, it can be quite uncomfortable. a something like frida's case in private practice may costs anywhere north of 5 to £10000. and i'm going to make the first incision now. a tribute fund for paul 0'grady has raised almost half a million pounds. funding specialist surgery at battersea for more animals like frida, who would never normally benefit. it's just so fantastic that the public have opened their hearts out. it will make such a difference to so many dogs out there. hiya. hi, paul. how are you doing? i'm all right. this little one isn't doing so well. paul 0'grady spent a lot

6:56 am
baroness casey said that these meetings shouldn't be where the met keeps coming in and saying, this is what i've done and this is how well i've done it. and so far the first three meetings have been just that. so, in my opinion, we need to do better. we've approached the met for comment. the commissioner has previously promised londoners will see change, and reforms are underway, but it will take time. london boroughs have some of the longest waiting lists for visually impared people needing assessments, according to the royal national institue of blind people. the charity says many people are waiting too long. in london, eight councils have waiting lists of over a year. for some, who have to adapt after sight loss, any delay could take its toll. if i had to wait longer, i think then you're wondering who is supporting you? who cares? so then you've got a whole host

6:58 am
in from the north, replacing the milder air. so it will be noticeably colder through the weekend. through today, though, it should stay dry. we have some sunny spells in between the cloud, potentially some hazy sunshine for a time, and the wind could pick up slightly through the afternoon. highs of around 14 to 16 celsius, though, so it will be mild. through the evening into the early hours of tomorrow morning, though, some of that cloud could break away, but it builds up once again as we start the day tomorrow with some mist and murk around, potentially, especially over higher ground. 9 to 11 to start the day. temperatures not picking up much more. and a mixture of sunshine and showers, highs of 12 celsius tomorrow. so unsettled through the weekend and it is going to be colder. that's it — head to our website to find out more about the londoners who are refusing to pay the service charges on their homes after huge price hikes. we're back in half an hour. bye.

7:01 am
plunged tens of thousands of them into poverty. azadeh moshiri has more. # heigh—ho, heigh—ho. ..# could this be the day they have been fighting for? waspi have been demanding compensation for years after their retirement plans collapsed. for many, the wait has been painful. this some people had to sell their homes. some people have the divorce settlements worked out on a rate of 60 because the judiciary didn't even know the state pension age had increased for women. some people are aspirin —— absolutely destitute and didn't have any money to survive, so they have had to take out loans from either family or even worse, loan sharks. so, the women are really hoping that they will have a
7:02 am
reasonable compensation for all the money that they have lost. the state pension age used to be 64 women and 65 for men. but since 2010, women's state pension age was raised and brought in line with men's. it has risen again since. and today it stands at 66 for both men and women. yet thousands of women born in the 1950s argue the changes happened at too short notice and were badly communicated. waspi argue this affected 3.8 million women, and that many didn't even know they would have to wait longer to receive their state pension. they say they didn't get a chance to plan for it. the parliamentary 0mbudsman had already ruled government officials were too slow to tell them. today the final report and its recommendations are expected. but the ombudsman has no power to refund lost pensions.
7:03 am
# we'll keep on fighting till the end...# the department for work and pensions has said ministers and pensions has said ministers are unable to comment until after the report has been published. the government has previously argued though that as people continue to live longer, state pension ages had to go up. but these women say they went about it the wrong way. and they're ready for their payday. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. four minutes past seven. charlie is taking a look at the economy. we had inflation figures out yesterday. so many people watching those as we are in this cost of living crisis, because those inflation figures give indications to other institutions which affect our lives. that's right. it is not changes today, it is indications. the bank of england is expected
7:04 am
to hold interest rates at 5.2% for the fifth time in a row this lunchtime — the highest they've been for 15 years. it's also expected to be cautious about signalling when future rate cuts will be, despite lower—than—expected february inflation figures. ben has been taking a look. when will the cost of mortgages come down and stay down? lenders cut their rates injanuary for new fixed deals, but they have now crept back up. it is causing a headache for many first—time buyers like james. i can't imagine they will be coming down any time soon, so i'm hoping they will level out a little bit, so we have more time to actually consider how much we are able to afford each month, rather than having to worry from one month to another if they are going up. it is just we have a bit more of a — stabilise the whole situation, really. mortgages and other loans have become more expensive because they are based on the bank of england's main interest rate,
7:05 am
shown by the red line. that went up sharply over the past two years, reaching 5.2%. the bank hoped by making borrowing more expensive, and people having less to spend, that there would be a fall in demand for goods and services, slowing down the average price rises, or inflation, shown by the blue line, to ease cost of living crisis. now that inflation has come down sharply from its peak, could interest rate to be cut soon? interest rates are likely to be held. it's going to be more of the same for many people. so, those people looking to remortgage are still probably going to find that they are going to have to pay a lot more in terms of their monthly payments. those people who have enough to save, on the other hand, can make the most of some better savings rates around at the moment. that's little comfort for the 1.6 million people coming to the end of a fixed mortgage deal this year. they are facing a jump in monthly payments when they renew. last time i was lucky. i had a good rate and went
7:06 am
for a fixed five year mortgage. and it worked out really well. but unfortunately, this time i'm sort of being a lot more cautious. i've got to go for a fixed term to get the mortgage down to what i can afford. but it is going to be difficult. pressure is growing on the bank of england to cut interest rates after inflation slowed to 3.4% in february. but that is still above the bank target of 2%. the theory is by cutting rates too soon could stoke another round of high inflation and paying price rises. a reminder that you can follow the interest rate decision live on bbc iplayer, midday today.

mps will now have to wait until after easter to vote on rishi sunak�*s flagship rwanda bill, after the house of lords passed a series of further amendments to the draft law. the legislation would revive the government's plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda, by declaring the country as safe. 0ur political correspondent, henry zeffman, is in westminster. morning. for those people not familiar with the goings on of the commons and the lords, they might be scratching their heads this morning? understandably. i will try to help. the way the legislative process works in parliament is that the house of commons has its say on a piece of legislation, and the house of lords has its say on a piece of legislation. that can't become the law of the land until they both agree. and what we have been seeing over the past few days, and we saw last night, is what has come to be known as ping—pong, which is the house of commons sends a version to the house of lords, they make some
7:08 am
changes, they send it back to the house of commons and so on and so on, untilthey house of commons and so on and so on, until they agree. the house of lords inserted seven changes to this rwanda legislation last night. various things designed in their eyes to make the legislation more compliant, in particular with international law. the house of commons, i think, international law. the house of commons, ithink, will try international law. the house of commons, i think, will try to take that out. the government wants to get this bill back to the version they had originally. that will not happen crucially until after easter because mps are about to go away for their easter break. now that then delays the more important question, i think. which is, does this rwanda asylum bill that we have heard so much about under three previous prime ministers, actually work? it is correct or is it the deterrent effect rishi sunak thinks it is. ——? we will have to wait untiljune because that is when the earliest flights might take off for rwanda. also, the political question which occupies conservative mps. if this policy get up and running will

7:27 am
we need to do better. we've approached the met for comment. the commissioner has previously promised londoners will see change— and reforms are underway— but it will take time. london boroughs have some of the longest waiting lists for visually impared people needing assessments — according to the royal national institue of blind people. the charity says many people are waiting too long. in london, eight councils have waiting lists of over a year. a former takeaway worker found with bitcoin worth more than £2 billion has been convicted of a crime linked to money laundering. jian wen from hendon was involved in converting the currency into assets including multi—million—pound houses and jewellery. the met said the seizure is the largest of its kind in the uk. now, mark it in your calendar — 2nd may — its six weeks
7:28 am
until the london mayoral election. there'll be plenty of analysis across bbc london tv, news and radio london — and you can find out what the mayor does for the capital, who the candidates are, and what you need to do to vote — all on our website. it's worth having a look as there've been some changes, including needing to bring id. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning with just minor delays reported on the piccadilly line. now onto the weather with sophia herod. good morning. a cloudy start for many of us today with some mist and murk around in places, but it should stay dry. we have some sunny spells in between the cloud and it will be mild, but things start to change as we have a look to tomorrow. we've got cold air moving in from the north, replacing the milder air. so it will be noticeably colder through the weekend. through today, though, it should stay dry. we have some sunny spells in between the cloud, potentially some hazy sunshine for a time, and the wind could pick up slightly through the afternoon.
7:29 am
highs of around 14 to 16 celsius, though, so it will be mild. through the evening into the early hours of tomorrow morning, though, some of that cloud could break away, but it builds up once again as we start the day tomorrow with some mist and murk around, potentially, especially over higher ground. 9 to 11 to start the day. temperatures not picking up much more. and a mixture of sunshine and showers, highs of 12 celsius tomorrow. so unsettled through the weekend and it is going to be colder. that's it — you can find all the day's news stories on the bbc news app. we're back in half an hour. bye. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0n yesterday's programme we spoke about the debilitating impact migraines can have on everyday life, ahead of a debate in parliament on access to treatment and diagnosis for the condition. around one in seven people across the world live with migraine ? it s the third most common health
7:30 am
condition in the world. those who live with them say there is a lack of access to diagnosis and treatment. so it's no surprise that so many of you wrote to us with your experiences. lisa walker told us that both she and her son sufferfrom migraines. she described that when she has an attack, it s like having a stroke, affecting her speech. she also shared that her son has been rushed to hospital by ambulance because medics thought his symptoms resembled a bleed on the brain. marcus shared with us how work is impossible for him during a severe episode, adding that the after—effects of extreme fatigue and lack of energy can last for days or weeks. adriana says she has suffered from migraine for 17—years and despite trying many different medications, nothing has helped. she says they are depressing and debilitating, impacting her quality of life and how much time she can spend with her family. anne—marie emery had herfirst attackjust before giving birth to her first child, she describes how she suddenly went
7:31 am
totally blind, lost the use of her right arm and couldn t speak. since then she has experienced anxiety, not knowing when an attack may strike. many of you told us how the disease impacts all parts of life, including work. research by the migraine trust suggested that 29 percent of people with the condition had to move from full—time to part—time employment, while a quarter had left a job altogether. of course, this all stems from yesterday's discussion with mp dehenna davison on breakfast. here she is sharing her experiences in parliament. .iwas . i was reading a book last autumn with a coloured pen in hand, underlining all of the symptoms i experience when i get a migraine attack on there were eight different symptoms. a severe attack can leave sufferers bedbound and in agony,
7:32 am
curtains closed, cowering in the darkness, unable to eat, or think clearly and utterly miserable. they can be completely debilitating and i've experienced my fair share of those. dr brendan davies is a consultant neurologist and chairs the british association for the study of headache and joins us now. you are the perfect person, brendan, with your expertise to talk about this. in a nutshell, for those people you've never suffered a migraine and don't know what it is like, give us a sense. we had a sense from the people who contacted the programme yesterday, if you get one, you know, but if you don't, how do you calibrate it to other things, in how it affects you?— in how it affects you? imagine havin: a in how it affects you? imagine having a pain _ in how it affects you? imagine having a pain in _ in how it affects you? imagine having a pain in your- in how it affects you? imagine having a pain in your head, i in how it affects you? imagine i having a pain in your head, feeling so sensitive that you just don't want to be in the light, you don't want to be in the light, you don't want to be in the light, you don't want to move, don't like smells, wanting to lie down, wanting to be away from people and being quite intolerant and on top of that possibly vomiting and being like
7:33 am
that for one, two, three consecutive days. that is what migraines are like. not being up to see your family when you want to, not being able to plan things because it affects you. not always being able to go into work and feeling guilty about it, but still not able to go into work if the treatments you have don't affect you. you into work if the treatments you have don't affect you-— don't affect you. you are a consultant _ don't affect you. you are a consultant neurologist i don't affect you. you are a | consultant neurologist with don't affect you. you are a i consultant neurologist with a specialism in migraines and headache and one of the problems is, how does someone who thinks they are suffering like this get to their gp to get to someone like you and the kind of care that you can offer? therein lies a big problem. yes. kind of care that you can offer? therein lies a big problem. yes, and not everybody _ therein lies a big problem. yes, and not everybody needs _ therein lies a big problem. yes, and not everybody needs to _ therein lies a big problem. yes, and not everybody needs to see - therein lies a big problem. yes, and not everybody needs to see a i not everybody needs to see a consultant neurologist. hopefully most people will get seen by their gp if given a diagnosis. so any person having intermittent headaches which last anything between four

deemed fit enough to continue after taking on fluids and energy supplements and he ended up losing in three sets with andy murray winning the last i6—1i and he wanted to prove a point as he went up to sign the camera as players do traditionally and if you can't read it, it says life in the old dog yet. so he follows jack draper into the second round after he went through earlier but there wasn't much work in the tail after the first set. he looked almost down and out but then came fighting back with that andy murray roar of old. he came fighting back with that andy murray roar of old.— murray roar of old. he was talking about the tournament _ murray roar of old. he was talking about the tournament in - murray roar of old. he was talking about the tournament in advance | murray roar of old. he was talking i about the tournament in advance and he said that it gets famously hot there. he says it's always worked for him. it there. he says it's always worked for him. i i there. he says it's always worked for him. i , i, , , for him. it brings out the best in him, for him. it brings out the best in him. that _ for him. it brings out the best in him, that challenge, _ for him. it brings out the best in him, that challenge, the - for him. it brings out the best in him, that challenge, the extra l him, that challenge, the extra challenge. him, that challenge, the extra challenge-— him, that challenge, the extra i challenge._ let's challenge. mike, thank you. let's see what challenges _ challenge. mike, thank you. let's see what challenges carroll - challenge. mike, thank you. let's see what challenges carroll is - see what challenges carroll is facing this morning with the weather. fit. facing this morning with the weather. �* i i, , , facing this morning with the weather. �* i i, , i weather. a bit foggy behind you there. it certainly _ weather. a bit foggy behind you there. it certainly is _ weather. a bit foggy behind you

7:46 am
especially across the far north. in any prolonged sunshine we could see temperatures of 16 or 17 degrees but these temperatures are still mild for the time of year. through the evening and overnight the weather front will sink south taking the cloud and rain with it and it might be a bit further south than this. behind it it will turn colder. this is a cold front, so the air turning colder and we will see showers and some of them heavy, wintry on the hills and may be some hail in them and it will be windy in the north. where we have the clear skies in the highlands, around the grampians, we could see temperatures fall away to freezing orjust below so there is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces and may some frost as well, but not as cold as we push further south. it is the weather front in the morning. a lot of cloud around it and some rain and it will be slow to clear. we still have the cold air behind it so a cold feeling day and a mixture of sunshine and also some showers but again the showers are
7:47 am
likely to be wintry in the tops of the hills on some of them could be heavy and thundery at lower levels and we are looking at gales across the north of the country and gusts of wind between 60 and 70 mph in the northern and western isles. temperatures are dropping between six and i2 temperatures are dropping between six and 12 degrees, north to south so we say goodbye to the 17 and 18 that some of the saw of late. and it's going to be colder this week —— this weekend with the wind chill. when —— then we shall wrap up warm this weekend. when -- then we shall wrap up warm this weekend-— spring has finally sprung which mean flowers are starting to blossom, including at sissinghurst castle in kent. it's home to world famous gardens that date back to the 1930's. this year, ten thousand freshly—planted daffodils have grown alongside
7:48 am
decades—old magnolias. our reporter sara smith has been to take a look. every new bud, each emerging flower feels like a celebration at this time of year. we've made it through the winter. the garden is finally waking up. i guess it's seeing the new shoots emerging from the soil. that's always exciting. it's seeing all the kind of efforts of our winter work that we've done starting to appear. it's the freshness of everything as well. while many of the daffodils here at sissinghurst are in their first year, some of the magnolias date back decades, and all the planting follows the vision of this garden's creators, writer vita sackville—west, and her husband, harold nicholson. their garden and their gardening style, you know, was so interesting and different and unique at the time. they weren't doing the obvious.
7:49 am
they were making a garden completely individual, full of personality and character. so it's so important we kind of keep those qualities. it's getting on for 100 years now since vita and harold started work on this garden, him creating the formal lines and her filling it with her profusion of planting, creating the individual rooms which we can still wander around today. it's from the air that you can see those rooms most clearly. and what goes into them is the result of careful research vita and harold wrote letters to each other, perhaps with even shopping lists of what they have seen at a plant fair that they might like to plant in the garden. so we often draw upon our knowledge from that research. in a few weeks, the whole garden will be overflowing with color as the flowers compete to catch your eye. for now, every glimpse of a new bud

hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. the brother of stephen lawrence, who was killed in a racist attack, says time is ticking for the met commissioner to make policing reforms. a year ago, the casey review found institutional racism, misogyny and homophobia in the force. stuart lawrence, who serves on a new policing board set up to monitor the met, told bbc radio london it's not working as it should. we've approached the met for comment. the commissioner has previously promised londoners will see change and reforms are underway, but it will take time. a former takeaway worker found with bitcoin worth more than £2 billion has been convicted of a crime linked to money laundering. jian wen, from hendon was involved in converting the currency into assets including multi—million—pound houses and jewellery. the met said the seizure is the largest of its kind in the uk. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning,

good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. millions of women who lost out when the pension age was raised will found out today if they could be entitled to compensation. no relief in sight for first time buyers and those renewing mortgage deals, as experts predict the bank of england will keep interest rates at 5.25% in its latest decision later today. a grieving husband says he was given ashes by a funeral director four weeks before his wife was actually cremated. it is almost one year since the death of paul 0'grady. this was a

place he loved, battersea dogs and cats. this is one of many animals who have benefited from the huge sums donated his death. we find out more later. it is wet and windy this morning across scotland, northern ireland, getting into northern england and north wales. i had a bit, mist and fog and a lot of cloud. it will remain mild. —— ahead of eight, mist and fog. good morning. it's thursday, 21st march. our main story. millions of women born in the 19505 who were affected by the government's decision to raise their state pension age in line with men, will find out today whether they could be entitled to compensation. the campaign group women against state pension inequality, also known as waspi, says the change plunged tens of thousands of them into poverty. azadeh moshiri has more. # heigh—ho, heigh—ho. ..#
8:02 am
could this be the day they have been fighting for? waspi have been demanding compensation for years after their retirement plans collapsed. for many, the wait has been painful. this some people had to sell their homes. some people had their divorce settlements worked out on a rate of 60 because the judiciary didn't even know the state pension age had increased for women. some people are absolutely destitute and didn't have any money to survive, so they have had to take out loans worse, loan sharks. so, the women are really hoping that they will have a reasonable compensation for all the money that they have lost. the state pension age used to be 64 women and 65 for men. but since 2010, women's state pension age was raised and brought in line with men's.
8:03 am
it has risen again since. and today it stands at 66 for both men and women. yet thousands of women born in the 19505 argue the changes happened at too short notice and were badly communicated. waspi argue this affected 3.8 million women, and that many didn't even know they would have to wait longer to receive their state pension. they say they didn't get a chance to plan for it. the parliamentary ombudsman had already ruled government officials were too slow to tell them. today the final report and its recommendations are expected. suddenly knowing i wasn't going to .et suddenly knowing i wasn't going to get it— suddenly knowing i wasn't going to get it for— suddenly knowing i wasn't going to get it for another six years dramatically affected my standard of living _ dramatically affected my standard of living. and it's money that i will never— living. and it's money that i will never get — living. and it's money that i will never get back. but i have accepted that _ never get back. but i have accepted that but _ never get back. but i have accepted that but i — never get back. but i have accepted that. but i do feel the government should _ that. but i do feel the government should have let me and the other women _ should have let me and the other women know that this delay was coming — women know that this delay was coming down the tracks. we had no notice _ coming down the tracks. we had no notice at _ coming down the tracks. we had no

is all about how our constitution is laid out and how our system of politics works. yes, specifically we are talking about how this works in relation to rwanda. mps will have to wait until after easter to vote on rishi sunak�*s flagship rwanda bill after the house of lords passed a series of further amendments to the draft law. legislation would revive the plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda by declaring the country as safe. so we have a ping—pong situation. henry zeffmanjoins safe. so we have a ping—pong situation. henry zeffman joins us. what we have is the house of lords wanting changes and the government are saying, no, hence the ping—pong. what happens next? that is exactly right. i spend all my time in westminster so i don't think of the game when i hear ping—pong. i think of this. last night the house of lords made various changes to the flagship rwanda asylum legislation. it is not the first time they have done that. they have actually made
8:06 am
changes to it before. it went to the house of commons. they took the changes that. what happens next? it goes back to the house of commons. i am not sure if that is ping or pong. but not until mid april when they return from their easter break. at that point i think the house of commons will insist on almost all of these changes been taken out. then i think the house of lords will back down. and then, what happens next is really interesting. you get to the heart of these debates that have been raging over the rwanda policy for so long. will it act as a deterrent? that is what the conservatives wanted to be. they say the simple fact of having a few flights take off for rwanda will deter people making that perilous crossing across the channel in small boats. are there right? we might find out. politically, lots of conservatives think finally getting this policy working will ease some of their political problems. is that

true? again, we will have to wait a few weeks to find out, but we might. thank you. an expert witness was asked by a post office prosecuted to change his testimony in a case that resulted in a postmistress being wrongfullyjailed. fujitsu engineer garethjenkins rephrased parts of a report on the horizon it system after receiving advice from his barrister. he'd been told his original statement could be damaging to the post office's case against seema misra who was convicted of theft and false accounting. it is that day today, thursday, with the bank of england making its latest announcement in connection with interest rates. ben. yes. there is one big question that people want to know the answer to, especially first—time buyers and those renewing mortgages. one of the cost of mortgages come down and stay down? most experts think later this year. but the bank of england is not
8:08 am
expected to start cutting borrowing costs jotted —— expected to start cutting borrowing costsjotted —— just expected to start cutting borrowing costs jotted —— just yet. expected to start cutting borrowing costsjotted —— just yet. mortgages have become more expensive because they are based on the by giving them's main interest rate, which went up sharply over the past two years, reaching 5.2%. the bank has been trying to tackle inflation of the rate of which goods and prices go the rate of which goods and prices 9° up the rate of which goods and prices go up in price. people have left to spend. that reduces demand, slowing down prices and easing cost of living pressures. —— less to spend. in february inflation slowed to 3.4%, sharply down from its peak. pressure is growing on the bank of england to cut interest rates. while inflation remains above the target of 2%, the fear is that cutting the rates too soon could trigger another round of high inflation and painful price rises. so, we expect the interest rates to be held at the current level, which is good for sailors —— savers, getting a better return on their cash savings after years of almost nothing, but little

comfort for the 1.6 million people renewing mortgage deals this year and facing a big jump in monthly payments. and don't forget, you can follow the interest rates decision live on the bbc iplayer at midday. just log onto the iplayer and look out for bbc news live. thank you. junior doctors in england have voted overwhelmingly in favour of further strikes in their long—running pay dispute. members of the bma union voted by over 98% in favour of extending the mandate for industrial action for another six months. here is dominic hughes. there have been ten walk—outs byjunior doctors in england during the past year. there could be more to come. the law meant the doctor's' union, the british medical association, had to seek a fresh mandate for strike action. it got that with the backing of 98% of members who voted on a turnover of 62%.
8:10 am
there are no new strike days for now, but the union accepts it may be an unsettling time for patients. you know, doctors themselves are patients. they have friends and family who are patients. and we all know the reality day in, day out online strike days, which is where the health service is struggling. we have a systemic problem in the nhs, where the nhs as a whole is failing. and it's primarily because we have a massive workforce crisis. the long—running dispute centres on pay. the bma has asked for a 35% rise to make up for what it says are 15 years a below inflation deals. ministers to describe that as unreasonable and pointed to an average pay increase was nearly 9% this financial year. during talks at the end of last year the option of an extra 3% on top was discussed. but those negotiations ended in early december without a deal. there have been no formal talks since then. hospital bosses are sounding
8:11 am
increasingly frustrated. it's absolutely critical that we get a resolution to this industrial action. we have seen industrial action running for the past year. so, absolutely dismaying not to see the resolution now. we urge the government and junior doctors to get round the table. this dispute is about to enter a second year with no end in sight. a statement from the department of health and social care says the vote to back further strike action was disappointing. and that more strikes would damage progress on reducing waiting lives. dominic hughes, bbc news. a grieving man has claimed he was given ashes by a funeral director four weeks before his wife was actually cremated. peter welburn paid almost £2000 to legacy independent funeral directors in hull, the company being investigated by the police. aruna iyengar has the story. the doors are boarded up at legacy funeral directors in hull. there is anger in the community
8:12 am
after police raided its premises. they have removed 35 bodies and a quantity of ashes from one of the company's sites. it is part of an ongoing investigation over concerns about the care of the deceased. one of those grieving is former trawlerman and grandad peter welburn. he paid £1900 to legacy for a funeral for his wife shirley. they'd been married for 33 years. she died on the 25th of november in old royal infirmary. but peter has found out the ashes he was given after her funeral on december the 23rd, just before christmas, might not be hers. he was told by a crematorium in leeds that she was cremated there on the 16th of january, weeks after he was given the ashes by legacy. well, i think he'sjust given me some ashes to keep me peaceful
8:13 am
and the bairns all happy over christmas, which is disgusting. theyjust give me anybody�*s ashes. peter says he will keep the ashes he has received safe. but he doesn't know who's they are. she didn't deserve all this. she went through a lot in hospital. as part of the police investigation into legacy, a man and woman have been arrested on suspicion of fraud and prevention of a lawful and decent burial. they have since been released on bail. aruna iyengar, bbc news. 14 16 minutes past eight. it is time to talk to carol. i warn you, usually see she is sunshine and laughter with a spring in her step. she is very dull today with that background. thank you, naga! good morning. it is quite a wet start for some.

one very happy dog in the sun having treats. all good stories. i am not sure she is happy with the camera in her face. she is working out quite well. so many good stories with battersea. we are back there later. head teachers say they are missing out on vital funds to fix leaking roofs and outdated classrooms after money has been diverted to other schools which were found to have crumbling concrete. some of the schools have been waiting decades for repairs or rebuilding, but those found to have the dangerous concrete — known as raac — are now taking priority. our education correspondent hazel shearing has this report. about 20 years ago, the first iphone was still only an idea. facebook was in its infancy, and taylor swift had her sights set on her first album. and in walsall, 14—year—old mark malik appeared on tv campaigning for a new school building atjoseph leckie academy. nearly two decades later,
8:23 am
we invited him back, not just to dissect the noughties' fashion and hairstyles... your haircut ain't changed. still look exactly the same. ..but to tell us what's changed now that the school has given up hope of getting the building replaced. has it ever flooded when you guys have been here? yeah. it floods quite a lot when it rains. it's been so many years and still, like, so many things have - not improved, which is very- unfortunate because this is such a good school and there's certain things that — hold it back basically for us as well. - we have like, a music room. like, when it's raining the roof is leaking, like, into the instruments and everything. it puts me off that to come to this building and work here. other lessons, like, in different buildings, makes it better, makes it better to learn. the school hall dates from the second world war and is too small to fit even one year group in. so assemblies are live streamed. this building still smells exactly the same. as soon as you go up those stairs,
8:24 am
you can smell the damp. the school applied to be rebuilt in 2022, but was rejected. now the final spots on the government's school rebuilding programme in england have been mostly taken up by schools with a specific type of crumbly concrete known as raac. this school doesn't have raac, does it? no, this school's got everything else wrong with it, but what it doesn't have, it doesn't have problems with raac. it feels really frustrating. it feels like we've reached a point where we've tried all avenues to get the funding for our building, and we don't seem to fall into any of the categories and we're not eligible for the funding. so there doesn't seem to be a way forward in which we can get the funding. so what about the schools that do have raac? scalby school in scarborough also applied in 2022 before it even knew it had problems with the concrete. it was turned down then, only to be added last month. it was great to be told that we were going to be on the rebuilding programme, and about time too, really. i mean, you know, this is a building that's tired,
8:25 am
it's past its sell by date. the fabric of those buildings, there's asbestos within them. it isn't good enough that the students are having to put up with — and it is put up with — these facilities in 21st century britain. the department for education said it had identified raac and confirmed how its removal would be funded in a matter of months, and had invested more than £15 billion to improve school buildings since 2015. atjoseph leckie, there have at least been some improvements over the past 20 years. but with a bigger group of year seven students set to squeeze in from september, there's still much work to be done. all the taps are working. a lot�*s changed in 20 years. hazel shearing, bbc news. it is coming up to half past eight. time for you to find out what is happening where you are.

hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm victoria hollins, the brother of stephen lawrence, who was killed in a racist attack, says "time is ticking" for the met commissioner to make policing reforms. a year ago, the casey review found institutional racism, misogyny and homophobia in the force. stuart lawrence, who serves on a new policing board set up to monitor the met, told bbc radio london it's not working as it should. baroness casey said that these meetings shouldn't be where the met keeps coming in and saying, this is what i've done and this is how well i've done it. and so far the first three meetings have been just that. so, in my opinion, we need to do better. we've approached the met for comment. the commissioner has previously promised londoners will see change— and reforms are underway— but it will take time.

a woman has died after a collision between a bicycle and a lorry in clerkenwell. police were called at around quarter past eight on tuesday evening to clerkenwell road near thejunction of farringdon road. a 33—year—old cyclist was found with serious injuries. she died at the scene. the lorry stopped but police are appealing for dashcam footage from nearby vehicles. london boroughs have some of the longest waiting lists for visually impared people needing assessments — according to the royal national institue of blind people. the charity says many people are waiting too long. in london — eight councils have waiting lists of over a year. if i had to wait longer, i think then you're wondering who is supporting you? who cares? so then you've got a whole host of sort of mental health ramifications coming on top of the grief of having lost your eyesight, which isjust a terrible place for any person to be in. a new exhibition looking at class and costumes is opening in east london. costumes including some from notting hill and hackney carnivals will feature in the london college of fashion's exploration of folk traditions, together with the pearly kings and queens and the capital's club culture.

there's more details on our website. let's take a look at the tubes now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning with most lines running well. the bakerloo line is part suspended stonebridge park to harrow & wealdstone. now onto the weather with sophia herod. good morning. a cloudy start for many of us today with some mist and murk around in places, but it should stay dry. we have some sunny spells in between the cloud and it will be mild, but things start to change as we have a look to tomorrow. we've got cold air moving in from the north, replacing the milder air. so it will be noticeably colder through the weekend. through today, though, it should stay dry. we have some sunny spells in between the cloud, potentially some hazy sunshine for a time, and the wind could pick up slightly through the afternoon. highs of around 1a to 16 celsius, though, so it will be mild. through the evening into the early hours of tomorrow morning, though, some of that cloud could break away, but it builds up once again as we start the day tomorrow
8:29 am
with some mist and murk around, potentially, especially over higher ground. 9 to ii to start the day. temperatures not picking up much more. and a mixture of sunshine and showers, highs of i2 celsius tomorrow. so unsettled through the weekend and it is going to be colder. that's it — you can find all the day's news stories on the bbc news app. we're back in half an hour. bye. it's been ten years since the first invictus games were held in london — and since then thousands across the world have participated in the sports event for wounded, injured and sick military servicemen and women. today, the uk launches a bid to host the games once again — this time in birmingham. graham satchell has the story of the games so far. for a decade now, former service personnel from all over the world have competed in the invictus games.

warriors scarred by war and conflict in fierce competition and silver! invictus is the brainchild of prince harry, the duke of sussex. harry served two terms in afghanistan. these games are not solely about medals, pbs or finishing lines. they are about overcoming any and all perceptions that have held you back, especially those you've placed on yourselves. the redemptive power of the games has been extraordinary. they've given injured personnel camaraderie, purpose, glory. invictus came along and inside i smile. and itjust brings that real smile back and that real happiness back. so fantastic. the game started in london in 2014. a youthful—looking harry was certain from the start what it was all about.

sunshine and showers and you can see as the cold front moves south and clears during friday, the milder air goes with it and opens the gates to colder air coming this way and we have weather fronts enhancing the showers on saturday we start on a largely dry note in the east with sunshine but the showers coming in on a strong wind, under the wind will accentuate the cold feel. a lot of showers and on higher ground it could be wintry and these are the temperatures and it will feel colder in these temperatures and a little bit drier for most on sunday. i will bit drier for most on sunday. i will focus on the _ bit drier for most on sunday. i will focus on the forecast _ bit drier for most on sunday. i will focus on the forecast today, i'm not listening to the rest of the week. it's a decision i am comfortable with. ~ ., , ., ., with. while the weather is going to ha en with. while the weather is going to happen anyway. _ with. while the weather is going to happen anyway. so _ with. while the weather is going to happen anyway. so it _ with. while the weather is going to happen anyway, so it doesn't - with. while the weather is going to j happen anyway, so it doesn't make with. while the weather is going to l happen anyway, so it doesn't make a lot of difference. we happen anyway, so it doesn't make a lot of difference.— lot of difference. we get used to, ben, the convenience _ lot of difference. we get used to, ben, the convenience of - lot of difference. we get used to, ben, the convenience ofjust - lot of difference. we get used to, | ben, the convenience ofjust going

8:48 am
increase in the diagnosis rate and could reduce the wait for mammogram results from two weeks to just three days. our technology editor zoe kleinman has been finding out more. so this is one of the extra cancers that was picked up by the ai. that is so tiny. yes, it is, indeed. and you can see why two human readers would have just looked through, compared it, it looks very much the same and would have said that that's normal. here in aberdeen, dr gerald lippe has just led the first nhs evaluation of an artificial intelligence tool called nir, designed to help improve breast cancer diagnosis. the initial results are encouraging. it's almost like another colleague and someone has a second sort of second opinion looking over your shoulder and helping you. so one human reader and in the ai doing the next read, we could move our turnaround time from ia days down to three days. and you know that anxiety, you've had a mammogram or any test in the hospital? i've had tests. you're kind of waiting on that
8:49 am
result and you want to know it as soon as you can. so anxiety is sort of another factor in this as well that we want to try and reduce. barbara's cancer was so tiny dr lipp and his team didn't spot it, but mir did. i'm just incredibly grateful. if i hadn't had that, then i don't know when i would have found it. the early diagnosis meant that barbara needed shorter and less invasive treatments. she told me without ai, her tumour might not have been spotted for another three years at her next routine scan, by which point it would have been a lot bigger and might have spread. you say cancer and they say, "oh, i'm so sorry." and i felt a fraud because it was so small. it's just so easy. there's no extra appointment or anything. and then when you have the operation, it's at a very early stage. so it's minimal compared to what it could be. do you trust the tech? would you have trusted it? if the doctor has said, "well, i haven't looked at your scans." i wouldn't want the computer to look and say and everybody to operate without looking. but for the computer to pinpoint it
8:50 am
and then look a second time and agree with the computer, that's different. ai is good at this when it's properly trained to spot early, tiny symptoms of a specific disease. but this isn't perfect yet. it has a tendency to over diagnose and also because of current health guidelines, it's not allowed to learn on the job and evolve as it's used. right now, this tech is still being researched. mir was built by the medicalfirm kiron and runs on computing power from microsoft. it was fed millions of images of scans from women around the world to enable it to recognise specific signs of potential breast cancer. within five years, some experts say i will routinely be used in cancer diagnosis. could that replace jobs? ai isn't going to be replacing radiologists. it's going to be supporting them and helping them address this workforce crisis. and we've modeled, for example, here at aberdeen that mir can automate 30% of those reads,
8:51 am
but that will save time for radiologists to do the other important things like the biopsies, like talking to patients. so ultimately we think it's going to be a really important part of the solution as to how to make radiology sustainable. i struggle to see some of the symptoms dr lipp showed me and i only looked at a few of them. currently, human specialists analyse up to 10,000 scans per year. the hope is that al tech like mir might one day reduce that workload and the strain that goes with it. zoe kleinman, bbc news. he's had 10 billion global audio streams and eight uk top 10 singles, performed at the platinum jubileee concert and has even worked on a campaign with the princess of wales. he got involved with the campaign after he performed at the late queen's platinum jubilee concert. now for his new single called 'never be lonely�* he is starring
