israel is under growing pressure to explain the strike. rishi sunak has told the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, he is "appalled" by the killings. taiwan suffers its strongest earthquake in 25 years, causing landslides, and many buildings have collapsed. the prospect of more strike action from teachers in england and wales, as the national education union considers a formal ballot. a ferocious start gives nottingham forest a vital premier league win — three goals in the first half against fulham, three points for the team fighting a relegation battle. good morning. it is a cloudy and wet start for many but it should brighten up from the south a bit later. as we go through the rest of the way it remains unsettled, wet and windy, but much warmer on saturday. i will have all the details throughout the programme.

it's wednesday, the 3rd of april. three british aid workers who died in an israeli air strike in gaza have been named. john chapman, james henderson and james kirby were amongst seven others who were killed. the men were part of a security team working for the charity world central kitchen. there's been international condemnation of the strike, with israel saying it was "unintended". graham satchell reports. the pictures tell their own devastating story. the team from the charity world central kitchen was travelling in a convoy of three cars — you can clearly see their logo. each car was hit in what looks like a precision — targeted — attack. the charity has now paid tribute to the seven workers who lost their lives — including three british nationals. 57—year—old john chapman — who is believed to have served in the royal marines — was working for the charity as a security adviser. james henderson, who was 33, is also understood to have served in the marines.

james kirby was a7, and another armed forces veteran. all three men were trying to protect their colleagues. the charity described them as heroes. "these seven beautiful souls were killed by world central kitchen was providing vital food aid in gaza, supplying millions of meals. the consequences of the attack will be felt here first. the charity has paused its operations, putting immediate stress on an already desperate situation. that's going to put civilians at risk — at greater risk — of famine. people are already starving to death. and what we really need now is for aid to get in quickly and to be able to be distributed safely. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said the attack was tragic and then said "this happens in war". overnight, the head of the israeli

army was far more conciliatory. we are sorry for the unintentional harm to the members of the wck. we share in the grief of the families, as well as the entire world central kitchen organisation, from the bottom of our hearts. despite that apology, there has been global condemnation. america described the attack as an outrage. britain said the deaths were completely unacceptable. australia has demanded accountability. injerusalem, more protests on the street, as israelis demand the safe return of their hostages. pressure is growing at home and abroad — but, so far, the israeli government has been impervious to calls for a ceasefire, and is determined to continue its fight against hamas. graham satchell, bbc news. we will speak to our correspondents

for the latest on that throughout the programme and we will speak to our international editor, as well, on the programmejust our international editor, as well, on the programme just after akm. in other news to date... and earthquake has struck in taiwan and sally has the details. at least four people are dead and dozens are injured after a 7.4 magnitude quake struck taiwan. seismologists say the earthquake is the strongest to hit the east asian nation in 25 years. our asia correspondent, rupert wingfield—hayes, is in the capital taipei. good morning. what more do we know about the impact of this earthquake? well, it has struck right across the east coast of the island and it has unleashed a lot of damage. the most dramatic things we have seen so far are pictures of a very, very large landslides. the east coast of taiwan is far more dramatic than the west coast. rugged and mountainous. and there are narrow valleys, high

craggy mountains, well over 12,000 feet high, and a lot of them go right down into the ocean. what this earthquake has done, this very powerful sheik this morning, is it has unleashed very large landslides coming down into the sea, into valleys, cutting off valleys and roads, clearing away bridges. so it is a very messy situation over there. the main city in the east of there. the main city in the east of the island, which is quite a small city, a remote area, was struck and we have seen damage. two large buildings have partially collapsed. given the strength of this earthquake, 7.4 and very strong shaking, mercifully at the damage to the urban infrastructure has so far been relatively light.— been relatively light. earlier there had been concerns, _ been relatively light. earlier there had been concerns, possible - been relatively light. earlier there - had been concerns, possible concerns about tsunami nil, what is the latest on that?— about tsunami nil, what is the latest on that? that's right. the ja anese latest on that? that's right. the

japanese authorities, _ latest on that? that's right. the japanese authorities, because i japanese authorities, because japan's southern islands are very close to thai one, they put out a tsunami warning immediately after the earthquake. we have seen some very small tsunamis, about 30 centimetres, but still water rushing into a fishing port on the east coast and rushing out again but nothing on a scale that would cause major damage and fortunately there tsunami warnings have now been lifted. , ~ , lifted. rupert wingfield-hayes, thank ou lifted. rupert wingfield-hayes, thank you very _ lifted. rupert wingfield-hayes, thank you very much _ lifted. rupert wingfield-hayes, thank you very much indeed. i police in finland have been questioning a 12—year—old boy after a school shooting in which a child was killed and two others were seriously wounded. the attack happened in the city of vantaa, north of helsinki, on tuesday morning. officers say the motive is still unclear. the uk's largest education union is considering whether to formally ballot its members for strike action over teachers' pay. in a consultative ballot, members of the national educational union — which represents staff in england and wales — indicated they would

strongly back such a move. here's our education correspondent hazel shearing. we got used to scenes like this outside school gates last year, but could it happen again? teachers who are members of the national education union have supported the idea of more strikes for a fully funded and above—inflation pay rise in an informal consultative ballot in england and wales. there is an appetite amongst teachers for action over pay, but i think that is coupled with a worry about being misrepresented and misunderstood. but unless we take action over pay, you know, the devaluing of education willjust go on and on and on and on. last night, the neu executive met to discuss the next steps, and whether or not to move to a formal ballot. the total pay award for teachers last year was 6.5% — including starting salaries in england reaching £30,000. the government has asked the pay review body in england to take

into account the existing pressure on school budgets, and to look at whether rises should be targeted at subjects with shortages of teachers. it said further strike action would cause more disruption to pupils. pay won't be the only thing on the minds of neu members at their conference in bournemouth this week — they'll also be talking about things like 0fsted, which the government says drives up school standards with its inspections, after most members said single—word judgements were unfair. but it's the idea of more strikes that could have the most direct impact on parents. hazel shearing, bbc news. the body which manages britain's railways says its five—year plan to invest £45 million aims to deliver a better service for passengers. network rail says it will use its budget over that time to try to provide "the best level of train performance possible", with targets to slash passenger cancellations. our goal is to improve reliability. our plan is to deliver a simpler, better and greener railway.

this plan has some demanding targets for improving performance — for example, a 16% reduction in passenger cancellations. so there's lots of areas where we're aiming to deliver better service to passengers, and better resilience for the network. scotland could become the first part of the uk to ban egg companies from keeping chickens in cages. the scottish government has announced a new consultation on the proposals — and agriculture ministerjim fairlie said that, if they were implemented, scotland would be "leading the way in improving the welfare of animals". conservationists have recorded the lowest—ever count of some butterfly species in britain. the uk butterfly monitoring scheme recorded a mixed picture for 58 types of butterflies last year, with some species soaring in numbers while others saw worrying declines. scientists say human activity — including habitat destruction and climate change — are behind the fluctuations.

people across southern california have been left baffled by streaks of light that moved across the sky in the middle of the night. what the hell?! its a meteor shower! yeah! it is unclear what caused the light, though people on social media speculated that it could be debris from a spacex launch or a module from the chinese shenzhou—15 spacecraft, which was due to enter the atmosphere around the same time. iam no i am no astronomer but that makes sense, doesn't it?— sense, doesn't it? ah... yes?! i would have _ sense, doesn't it? ah... yes?! i would have said, _ sense, doesn't it? ah... yes?! i would have said, "oh, _ sense, doesn't it? ah... yes?! i would have said, "oh, it- sense, doesn't it? ah... yes?! i would have said, "oh, it is- sense, doesn't it? ah... yes?! i would have said, "oh, it is a - sense, doesn't it? ah... yes?! i. would have said, "oh, it is a media shower!"just would have said, "oh, it is a media shower!" just like batman saga lets are someone who knows better. carol, good morning. there is a bit of rain in the forecast. there is. it will turn milder,

particularly so on saturday, when some parts of the south—east could hit 20 degrees. east anglia could see that as well but most having higher temperatures and we are looking at the next few days. this morning, starting cloudy, also rain in the forecast and some drizzle. this batch of rain in scotland will be on and off through the day. this rain pushing up across england, wales and northern ireland commit moving northwards, the trailing party producing some showers at the moment. a lot of cloud around. this rain is slowly fate —— fairly slow moving but it will push northwards across southern scotland. still this brisk wind in the north—east accentuating the chilly feel but as we come further south, it will brighten up. there will be sunshine. the showers ease across northern ireland. but then we have the next weather system waiting in the winds bringing more wet weather into the south—west. temperatures five in the north to 15 in the south. as we head

on through the evening and overnight, we still have this rain across the north for a time and a fair bit of cloud around. this second batch also pushing northwards so it will be, once again, fairly murky, cloudy, damp night. some snow above about 400 metres in the highlands and these are overnight lows. two in lerwick to a very mild ten as we push to the south—east. tomorrow, still this batch of rain continuing itsjourney, moving northwards and eastwards, eventually pulling away from the fire south—east. a fair bit of cloud around, gain some thankfulness, some drizzle coming in from the south—west and quite windy —— some dankness. temperatures tomorrow ranging from six in the north to 16 in the south, so temperatures are slowly starting to climb.— in the south, so temperatures are slowly starting to climb. thank you, we will speak _ slowly starting to climb. thank you, we will speak to _ slowly starting to climb. thank you, we will speak to you _ slowly starting to climb. thank you, we will speak to you later. -

if you watch breakfast regularly, you will be familiar with the incredible journey of the 3 dads walking. mike, andy and tim became friends and campaigners when they walked 300 miles to raise awareness after they each lost a daughter to suicide. now, the story of their walk has been turned into a book, based on journal entries written during their time on the road. 0ur reporter, alison freeman, caught up with them. never in a million years would i have ever imagined my youngest daughter, beth, taking her own life. however, on the 28th of march 2020, she did just that. sophie had been a lovely little girl with blonde hair and a ready smile. she loved to be with people. we spent loads of time outdoors, walking, biking and skiing. just a lovely person. i found a note from emily which she'd placed in her| cloth shopping bag. "the last thing i'd like to ask of you is that don't be - ashamed of what i've done. i don't mind if people know.

about what happened to me, if it'll help them before it's too late." _ it's always been about walking and talking. and now the 3 dads have put their stories into their own words. a book and an audio book about how they came into each other�*s lives, and the effect they have had on the lives of others, goes on sale this week. the book is a story of hope — we discovered on that first walk how many people do die by suicide every year, and we met so many people who've been affected. when you set out, did you ever expect that number of people to join you and tell you their stories? no, i think that was the really shocking thing. when we left moorland village hall that day and within ten metres, we're joined by a suicide—bereaved mum, and then a few... well, a few hundred yards down the road, there's a second suicide—bereaved mum. and we suddenly realise we'd got — we were now a kind of a magnet for these suicide—bereaved people. we didn't create that safe space deliberately. we knew that talking openly about suicide would help other people,

but what we'd not realised was, by doing it so openly and carrying that tracker so people could actually find us, it just created this space where people could walk in and just talk to us — and it was a real privilege to stand and listen to people — some of whom had never shared their stories with anybody else. we didn't often stand, usually walked! - no, we didn't stand — fair enough! yeah, yeah. walking through the village on a road i knew so well. with blokes i barely knew — - it felt strange that i wouldn't be returning home for over two weeks. the book is called three dads walking: 300 miles of hope, and charts the ups and downs of their first walk between their three homes in cumbria, greater manchester, and norfolk. make it a bit more comfortable for you. the blister situation was getting serious, but the cumbrian was to prove that he was made of stern — if not a little grumpy — stuff. the bizarre thing is, you know, we walk, but we did laugh on this trip, as well. you never thought you would. but, you know, that's

very much part of life. three dads walking, stopped. i mean, you can't talk about suicide and suicide prevention all day. you can't. but, invariably, we ended up laughing — usually at each other! so every day there'd be a lot of... there'll be a lot of tears, but every day there was loads of laughter, as well. and whilst the walking has now turned into campaigning for greater education to help with suicide prevention, the stories of the dads' daughters have always been at the heart of everything. the first chapter in i each third has got... don't give it all away. i won't give it all away, i but it's got our stories in. and that's been the hardest biti to read, cos that is the real kind of reflection on where — . how we all got to the start point, if you like. yeah. well, there's a story of dark to light, isn't it? you know, it was such a dark place once, you know — that life's not always easy now, but in a better place and feeling more positive, and i hope people can feed off that when they read the book. it actually is a really good book! laughter. it's good that you can

say that, right? that shouldn't be a surprise! for those who know the pain of suicide, know that there is a way forward. for those that have thoughts of suicide, know there is help. you are never alone. there is always hope. alison freeman, bbc news. mike, andy and tim will be joining us at 8:15. before joining us at 8:15. they set off on another walk! let's take a look at today's papers. joining us at 8:15. almost all of the front pages are leading on the seven aid workers killed in gaza. the mirror headline says they were "killed trying to feed starving kids". the telegraph reports an investigation by the royal mail after customers complained about receiving post with stamps on that had been deemed to be fake — and then being fined to collect it. an inside story from today's times, which says the government will look into headlight glare, after a petition was

signed by 10,000 people. it follows a campaign by the rac, which says being dazzled affects about two thirds of drivers in the uk. and the headline on the metro is a "bid of an idiot" who says he repeatedly bid against himself while trying to buy a painting in an auction and managed to push the price up by a thousand pounds. just to explain, apparently he didn't quite know how an auction works. i}!(. and was bidding and kept works. ok. and was bidding and kept bidding. works. ok. and was bidding and kept bidding- was — works. ok. and was bidding and kept bidding- was it _ works. ok. and was bidding and kept bidding. was it an _ works. ok. and was bidding and kept bidding. was it an online _ works. ok. and was bidding and kept bidding. was it an online auction? . works. ok. and was bidding and kept bidding. was it an online auction? i l bidding. was it an online auction? i didn't read that _ bidding. was it an online auction? i didn't read that far. _ bidding. was it an online auction? i didn't read that far. he _ bidding. was it an online auction? i didn't read that far. he wasn't - bidding. was it an online auction? i didn't read that far. he wasn't sure | didn't read that far. he wasn't sure how it worked and didn't realise that at the end of it you are legally bound to buy it so quite a lot of money. l. legally bound to buy it so quite a lot of money-— legally bound to buy it so quite a lot of mone. , ., ., ., ., ,, lot of money. l, d. now to a happier sto . weddings often take place in beautiful locations — from churches to castles — but take a look at this picture. a couple of finnish ice divers celebrated tying the knot with a photoshoot under a frozen lake.

to save the clubs that meet here. they day it got aired, i was working and my computer just went, "bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing..." and it wasjust, "what the hell's going on here?" we were just so overwhelmed by it all. just amazing. it was literally people from all over the country just saying, "we've seen your report and we want to help." so, yeah, it was just absolutely... yeah, it was overwhelming, really. the building's owned by derbyshire county council, which doesn't use it, and wants to close it down. and then pick a number for me, please. local people and businesses have rallied round with donations and raffle prizes — including these beds — hence tonight's bed—making contest. put it on the bed now. put it on the bed. well done. as the fights go on, the activities go on. so how many raffles have you done? tonight, they're receiving a visit from john roberts — he's the founder of the online retailer a0, and a supporter

of the charity that runs 0nside youth zones across the uk. he's passionate about places like this, and the part they play in people's lives. there's 15 volunteers here tonight that are giving their time for free. these kids know they're giving their time for free. it's a different relationship, yeah? and so they'll talk to those people — they'll talk to them about different challenges that they're having in their lives — and so it'sjust as important from an education perspective, or whether it's doing art here or whatever they're learning. i guess the difference is this, if you boil it down — these kids are choosing to come here, and they have to go to school. maybe we should put some investment where the kids are choosing to go. talking to the children here, they enjoy the sports available as well as the activities — art and cooking — but the word that keeps coming up is "friendship", and the opportunity to socialise.

it's very, like, sociable, so you get to, like, socialise with, like, loads of other people doing things that you never really got to do. and... helps you do things you never thought you would. it's just fun to do when there's nothing else, cos there's nothing now really on the estate to do, so... social, good fun. so... like, if it gets shutdown, it's not going to help lots of kids because we come here to socialise and meet new people. the volunteers are in the process of setting up a community group that can take over the building from derbyshire county council. they'll need almost £70,000. we still need more funds. we're always going to need more. you know, it's one of them things. the building is tired. we are building quite a big cohort of groups that want to come, use the centre, and provide more activities. so i think, actually, this could be the best thing

ever for the actual — for the centre and for the estate and the young people on the estate. it's given them sort of — empowered them to take ownership of it. their determination is obvious. the promise to succeed and to save their youth club forfamilies here — notjust because they want to — but, they say, because they have to. john maguire, bbc news, gamesley. still to come on breakfast... michael ball is taking over as the presenter of radio 2's sunday love songs. he follows the legendary steve wright, who died in february. we'll speak to michael at 7:50. he will take over that iconic show with all the best love songs on a sunday. we would like to know from you, what are your favourite love song? what songs do you think michael ball should be playing, and

a market in east london that was suddenly closed back in january could reopen. stratford market village was home to around 60 traders before it shut. now newham council says it's secured £700,000 from a greater london authority budget. the money should allow the market to continue to trade for another 15 months. speed dating—style evenings have been launched for people hoping to find their perfect match — not in love, but to share a home with. it's the latest craze in the capital used by those struggling to find accommodation. around 80 women attended this event in canary wharf. according to the website spareroom, there are four people chasing every room in london. these attendees are hoping that meeting in real life will them secure a room more quickly. i'm taking the daunting task. of deciding to move to london. in this economy, i really. want to sort of try different avenues and ways to find a home other thanjust going on. -

it feels more natural. which is good, because it is, we're all sort of going for a really awkward time trying to navigate through the rental market in london. let's take a look at how the tube is running at this time of the morning. there's severe delays on thejubilee and metropolitan lines, and the northern line is part closed between golders green and edgware due to planned engineering works. replacement buses will operate. but otherwise there's a good service on the rest of the network. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, it's been quite a cloudy start with some outbreaks of heavy rain overnight last night. and we have the legacy of that cloud this morning with some further light and patchy rain, but it does improve, becoming drier and brighter later. so, some light rain, some drizzle this morning, but the cloud will thin and break as we head through the day. some drier weather, some sunny spells breaking through the cloud and temperatures reaching around 12 to 15 celsius by the afternoon. but it will be breezy out there. dry, then, to start this evening. some clear spells. but then thicker cloud and two bands of rain arriving in overnight,

one after the other. so by the end of the night, some heavy rain in store once more and temperatures holding up at nine to 12 celsius. so it will be mild, but breezy. now low pressure stays with us. the next area of low pressure arriving in to end the week with further outbreaks of showers, some longer spells of rain at times as well. but the temperature's gradually rising, so by the time we reach saturday, we could potentially reach 19 or 20 celsius and it should become drier for the weekend as well. that's your forecast. that's it from me. there's plenty more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london, where there are regular bulletins all morning. i'll be back in half an hour, but for now let's go back to ben and sally. hello. this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. it is just approaching 6:30am.

let's return to the israel gaza conflict, and the news that three british aid workers who were killed in an israeli strike on monday have been named. john chapman, james kirby and james henderson were among seven world central kitchen workers who died in the attack. the organisation said it was still reeling from the loss. 0ur reporter graham satchell is outside the foreign office this morning. graham, there's been widespread condemnation of this strike? there has, sally, and what is striking isjust there has, sally, and what is striking is just how much the language has hardened over the last 24, 48 hours or language has hardened over the last 24,48 hours or so. we are language has hardened over the last 24, 48 hours or so. we are told that when the israeli ambassador was called hit of the foreign office, the conversation was icy. so we're talking about countries that are the closest of friends and allies, britain, america, australia, poland, the countries that lost someone in this attack, couldn't be closer with israel, but the language is now blunt and direct and very

undiplomatic. rishi sunak had a conversation with the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, where he said he was appalled by what had happened. he condemned it in the strongest possible terms. he said that the situation on the ground in gaza was becoming increasingly intolerable, that he expects israel to allow in more humanitarian aid. we have had a message from president biden overnight where he said he was outraged by what had happened, and repeated his call for an immediate ceasefire to allow in more humanitarian aid. so the mood music has become much more frosty, and i suppose the key question is whether any of this will make any difference to what is happening in gaza. it has to what is happening in gaza. it has to be said that israel has been deaf to be said that israel has been deaf to the concerns of the international community since this conflict started, so we will have to wait and see, but it doesn't look like israel is ready to end its conflict with hamas, and it may be that this changes nothing at all.

graham, thank you very much indeed. let's talk to tess ingram from unicef, who was in gaza. you are in gaza this morning. i wonder what the reaction has been there, and as graham was describing, what changes on the ground for you day to day right now? yes, it is incredibly tragic, ben, when we heard the news here in the gaza strip, our hearts broke both of our colleagues and for their families. these were brave humanitarian workers doing their job, just trying to help the people of gaza. so there absolutely should not happen in the line of duty, and it is appalling that they have been killed. in terms of operations, unicef is staying and delivering. we had a mission yesterday and i will go out today to meet some women and children in rafah, but there will certainly be an impact from world central kitchen forcing their

operations, because they are one of the main players delivering food to people in gaza, who we know are on the break of famine. find people in gaza, who we know are on the break of famine.— the break of famine. and reporting on the deaths _ the break of famine. and reporting on the deaths of _ the break of famine. and reporting on the deaths of the _ the break of famine. and reporting on the deaths of the seven - the break of famine. and reporting on the deaths of the seven aid - on the deaths of the seven aid workers, if you look at the totals, 196 aid workers have been killed since october the 7th. 174 of those working for the un. it is a stark reminder of the difficulties and dangers that you are all operating under right now.— under right now. that's right. it is dangerous — under right now. that's right. it is dangerous for _ under right now. that's right. it is dangerous for us. _ under right now. that's right. it is dangerous for us. we've - under right now. that's right. it is dangerous for us. we've lost - under right now. that's right. it is dangerous for us. we've lost so i under right now. that's right. it is - dangerous for us. we've lost so many colleagues. but also it's really dangerous for people in gaza, for pregnant women trying to go to a hospital, for children trying to walk through a shelter. these air strikes that killed our colleagues on monday evening are killing people in gaza on an almost daily basis, so this is a stark reminder of the conditions for everybody that has

got their feet on the ground, and it's why we've been so resolute about the need for a ceasefire. the killing needs to stop now. and about the need for a ceasefire. the killing needs to stop now.— killing needs to stop now. and we talked there _ killing needs to stop now. and we talked there about _ killing needs to stop now. and we talked there about the _ killing needs to stop now. and we talked there about the impact - killing needs to stop now. and we | talked there about the impact that it could have on future deliveries. just remind us of what the situation is like on the ground right now in terms of what aid is able to get through and what help the people there need right now? filth. through and what help the people there need right now?— through and what help the people there need right now? 0h, they need eve hina. there need right now? 0h, they need everything- i— there need right now? 0h, they need everything- i know— there need right now? 0h, they need everything. i know that _ there need right now? 0h, they need everything. i know that sounds - everything. i know that sounds trite, but they really do. there is no access to clean water, very little food, shelter is at a premium. there is a very poor access to health systems and medicine. i've seen children walking around with no shoes, and they have been wearing the same clothes for weeks if not months. so it is really desperate here, and as the un were trying to get in as much jade as we can, but we are being hampered. there are restrictions on how much we can bring in, and the volume of aid has declined 70% since the amount of

trucks that we could get in before the escalation in hostilities. and so the needs have gone up at the trucks have gone down, and that creates a real problem for us on the ground and for the people that we are trying to serve. find ground and for the people that we are trying to serve.— ground and for the people that we are trying to serve. and given what ou are are trying to serve. and given what you are dealing _ are trying to serve. and given what you are dealing with, _ are trying to serve. and given what you are dealing with, then, - are trying to serve. and given what you are dealing with, then, on - are trying to serve. and given what you are dealing with, then, on the| you are dealing with, then, on the ground, and given the recent news, the danger is that you are put under, what told does this take on you and your colleagues on a personal level? it you and your colleagues on a personal level?— you and your colleagues on a personal level? it is incredibly frustrating _ personal level? it is incredibly frustrating to _ personal level? it is incredibly frustrating to be _ personal level? it is incredibly frustrating to be here, - personal level? it is incredibly frustrating to be here, risking| personal level? it is incredibly . frustrating to be here, risking our lives, trying to help people in an environment where we know not everything is being done to help facilitate that. there is aid that could be saving children's lives, and we just can't get it to them. we are watching children die of malnutrition and dehydration that we should be able to prevent, and we are not able to do that. so we really, really need more aid to get into the gaza strip, and i would call on the international community

to do everything they can to advocate for a ceasefire, but failing that, to advocate to get more aid in here through more crossings, any means available, so that we can save more lives. you say that we can save more lives. you say that he will — that we can save more lives. you say that he will continue _ that we can save more lives. you say that he will continue your _ that he will continue your operations there for now, even given this latest tragedy. do you and your colleagues have serious discussions about whether there will be a time that you cannot continue to do what you are doing? it is that you cannot continue to do what you are doing?— you are doing? it is fair to say that gaza _ you are doing? it is fair to say that gaza is _ you are doing? it is fair to say that gaza is one _ you are doing? it is fair to say that gaza is one of— you are doing? it is fair to say that gaza is one of the - you are doing? it is fair to say that gaza is one of the most i that gaza is one of the most dangerous places for us to operate. unicef has said it is also the most dangerous place in the world to be a child right now, and that is because of the intensity at the volatility of the intensity at the volatility of these hostilities. it is really difficult to stay safe here, and also one of the challenges is the coordination system that world central kitchen mentioned, they said they were coordinated with the party to let them know what they were doing. but it's clearly not working,

so we have been talking about that and talking about the need to make sure that we can get that coordination system working. it works in other conflict zones where we operate around the world, and it must work in gaza.— must work in gaza. test, it is good to talk to you _ must work in gaza. test, it is good to talk to you this _ must work in gaza. test, it is good to talk to you this morning, - must work in gaza. test, it is good to talk to you this morning, and i must work in gaza. test, it is good| to talk to you this morning, and we wish you well with your work, thank you. now, at 6.36, we have the sport, and a great result for nottingham forest? the clocks of change, and that is when the run—in starts. everything takes on an extra significance. we like to blow things up, things have hyperbolic nature at this stage of the season, so all the more disappointing that three of the five games last night were draws. this nottingham forest beat fulham 3—1 to pick up three vital points in their battle against relegation.

all the home side's goals came in the first half, morgan gibbs—white with the third of them, as forest pull three clear of the drop zone with their first win since having four points deducted for breaking financial rules. tottenham boss ange postecoglou said he wished he had a joystick to control his players after their 1—1 draw at west ham. it left them out the side top four still. brennanjohnson gave spurs an early lead, but kurt zouma equalised, leaving postecoglou frustrated at a missed chance to move into the top four. he said his players lacked clarity of thought, and were often out of position. a late dominic calvert—lewin penalty earned everton a crucial point in their battle to avoid relegation as they drew one all at newcastle. it was however everton's 13th successive premier league match without a win. burnley are also fighting the drop. they drew with wolves. manchester united's raphael moran says his body has been damaged by the effects of heading a football during a career. he has told his son

not to head the ball. the french defender admitted to finishing a game on autopilot because of concussion had dismissed a few games this season because of similar symptoms. we will be talking to nobby stiles's sonjohn who campaigned on this issue later on breakfast. until recently, motherhood and a career in womens' football were considered incompatible, with many players choosing to retire early before starting a family. but now the picture is changing, and there are a growing number of mothers returning to the women's super league. but despite changing attitudes and increased support, challenges remain — and notjust for the players. katie gornall reports. you may know carla ward as aston villa women's manager. commentator: wsl history! but she has another, more importantjob. what did you do at school today? we did some science. did you? mum to four—year—old hartley. turn it up! 0k. are you going to sing to me? wednesdays are special for ward. it's the only day she makes

it home to sheffield in time for the school run. you are getting an incredible mum. thank you so much. i feel honored, thank you! what does hartley think of yourjob? she's very proud. she loves myjob. she loves... yeah, she loves telling everyone that i'm a football manager. ward co—parents hartley with her former partner. butjuggling the demands of motherhood and management is a struggle. it was just before christmas, hartley said to me, "why do we never have a day off together?" because naturally i work on the weekends. and it's mum guilt, it's tough, you know. you miss parents evening. you miss shows that she's doing. and that's when you start to question, what are you doing? why are you doing it? and is there longevity in it? i love the day—to—day hustle and bustle of club football, but yeah. it's a heavy heart, constant pulling battle. and then what's next? there's not many female managers at the top of the game, but do you think the struggle of balancing football and family

life is a factor in all of that? 100%. yeah, i know first—hand from various females that could potentially be working at the top of the game. so i do not know the answer, but certainly more can be done, because you can see in the us they do it very well. ward says she feels supported at villa. she is, though, one of only two mums managing in the top flight. herfriend emma hayes is the other. but the chelsea boss will soon leave for the usa job. a better work—life balance was part of the appeal. while mothers in management are a rarity, more top players are choosing to have children during their careers. west ham's katrina gorry is one of them. got you! a mum to two—year—old harper. for as long as i knew, i kind of thought, you know, i'd have to hang up the boots before i started a family. it's all i thought about. i dreamt about it, you know. i thought about names every minute i had. and ijust knew that there was something missing. and, yeah, so i went to an ivf clinic and, you know,

four weeks later found out i was pregnant. and then after i had her, all i thought about is getting back to the game. i felt like i loved it more than i ever had before. and having harper on the sideline, just, it made me become more proud. gorry was back playing three months after giving birth, and last summer walked out for australia at the world cup. she was one of the players of the tournament. but life's not been without its challenges. the amount of things to do before you got out of the house just to get to training was insane. just didn't think that you'd be able to get through it. and i was breast—feeding her until she was about a year old, so that was hard trying to juggle that as well. but i had no doubt in my body, that definitely wasn't a challenge for me. i knew i could... you know, i went through birth, so i knew i could do anything. you know, if you have the support, you can be an amazing athlete, you can be an incredible mum, and you can combine them both and have the best of both worlds. now that clubs are more supportive, football and family

are coming together. it's taken baby steps, but the sport is changing. katie gornall, bbc news. katie gornall on the challenges of being a footballer and a mother, but as you know, it is other sports that have the same sort of conundrum about balancing those two things. absolutely right, and it is changing a little. we had laura kenny on the programme who i know has retired from competition after having her second child, but went back, famously, after her first baby, hugely successfully so. i think things are changing. here's carol with a look at the weather. good morning. sadly the weather isn't changing much! it is continuing unsettled as we go through the rest of this week, so we're looking at spells of wet and windy weather. they will be sunshine for some of us in between, and it looks very much like it is going to turn that bit warmer, more especially so on saturday when the temperature across the board will be

higher than it has been this but in east anglia and the south—east, it could reach 20 celsius. the average this time of year is roughly around 12 celsius. today, low pressure once again driving our weather, weather fronts pushing steadily northwards, and they will continue to do so through the day. they are moving quite slowly and producing this band of rain. there was also rain across northern scotland, and this will be with us on and off through the day, and we have got some showers draped across southern england. generally it is a cloudy, murky start to the day, worked with some fog across parts of southern scotland and northern england, and through the day the rain will continue to push northwards, allowing brighter skies to develop behind. but you can already see across the isles of scilly and just the tip of cornwall the next batch of rain waiting in the next batch of rain waiting in the wings. 0ne the next batch of rain waiting in the wings. one or two showers in wales, some showers behind the main band of rain moving through northern england into southern scotland. it will ease in northern ireland, leaving a few showers, and dispatch

of rain across the northeast continuing on and off, and here too they will be a brisk wind accentuated the chilly feel. through this evening and overnight, that band coming into cornwall pushes steadily northwards and eastwards, taking its rain with it. it will be cloudy and damp across scotland and northern ireland, these are our overnight lows too in the north. tomorrow this is that same weather front which is pushing steadily northwards and eastwards, and it will take its time to clear away from the far south—east. it is going to be another fairly cloudy day, with showers, drizzle, brightening up with showers, drizzle, brightening up a touch in the afternoon across the south, but then we have a repeat performance as the next weather front comes in from the south—west with strengthening winds, particularly so through the english channel, and it is going to be wet to end the day, with temperatures 13 in plymouth, 14 in cardiff, and don't forget that chilly north—easterly wind as well. as we head towards the end of the week,

you can see on the charts the isobars are packed. it is going to be windy on friday and saturday, and we have weather fronts coming our way, this one is a cold front. so the milder areas being brought up from the azores across the whole of the country. temperatures will be higher than they have been, but as we head through friday, it is going to be wet and windy. they will be gales with exposure in the west, but it will be windy inland as well, and as we had through the weekend, saturday wet and windy, and then on sunday, is that cold front goes through, it will turn slightly colder, but for some it will still be 17 through the course of sunday. those april showers are there for a reason! the uk's largest education union, he national educational union, is considering whether to formally ballot its members for strike

action over teachers' pay. the government has yet to make a formal offer, but has made clear any pay award in england is likely to be lower than last year. the total pay award made to teachers last year was 6.5%. that included starting salaries in england reaching £30,000. in a consultative ballot, members of the union, which represents staff in england and wales, indicated they would strongly back a move for strike action. the national education union general secretary daniel kebede joins us now from bournemouth. good morning to you. i know there was a meeting of the executive committee last night. did you decide anything about going ahead with a ballot for strike action? last ni . ht's ballot for strike action? last night's executive _ ballot for strike action? last night's executive committee was reallyjust night's executive committee was really just a formulation night's executive committee was reallyjust a formulation of how we are going to conduct conference. there will be debate on thursday around the issue of pay and funding,

touch with us this morning. it was just a suggestion, what we have got lots of ideas. paul in nuneaton says of my favourite love is done is lionel richie three times a lady which reminds me of the first time i met my wife at a dance and i asked if she would like to dance with me. we have been married for 37 years and still very much in love. cathy says, thank you for getting in touch, she says herfavourite cathy says, thank you for getting in touch, she says her favourite song, the power of love byjennifer rush she said was our song back in 1987. amazing tune, good choice. she says after 35 years together, my husband paul died at the age of 65 and october due to complications with 0ctober due to complications with advanced dementia. she said she had the power of love played at his funeral because it was so much a part of our life together from the very beginning to the very end, so thank you. what a beautiful story. it is about the memory, isn't it? it is about

what the song means to you and reminds you of at that time. and it will be the place, the smells, everything else that goes with it, encapsulated in a song. i like this from gary who says, our favourite song is my favourite waste of time ljy song is my favourite waste of time by owen paul, it was a hit in 1986 when we met, and all these years later we have happily wasted a lot of time together! it is amazing, isn't it, and everyone has got a story. keep them coming in, all the usual ways to do so at the bottom of the screen. send us your memories. and we are staying with music. the korgis' single everybody�*s got to learn sometime became an instant hit when it was released in 1980, propelling the band to success in the uk and europe. they're still making music, and as the 45th anniversary of their most well—known song approaches, they've have taken the bbc�*s imogen sellers on a tour of their home city of bath to show her the surprising places it was recorded. a trip down memory lane to camden crescent in bath.

this it was here in a top floor flat that it all started. 1978, i would say. i was with my schoolmate roland 0rzabal, who went on to become one half of tears for fears. and the two of us recorded here, and people would wonder, why would you record in camden crescent? well, a producerfriend of ours called david lord had a studio in his top floor flat here, and so we did ourfirst ever recordings here in this top floor flat of camden crescent. and from those days when i believe you actually recorded something in the bathroom and this crescent? idid! idid indeed. and we've come a long way, because now of course you record in my studio. in your bathroom! you don't have to be in the bathroom any more. so i have to ask, then. you recorded the vocals in the bathroom? we tried every room in david's flat to get the right sort of vocal sound, the bathroom included, so it may be that if i had you,

our first hit single could have been recorded in the bathroom. i think it was, yeah. before long, the studio move tear it to a quiet spot off walcot street, and musicians were queueing up to record here. a lot of very famous names went through these doors in the early '805, people like pete gabriel, kate bush, the stranglers, xtc, barbara dickson. we recorded a song called everybody�*s got to learn sometime here, which is a big international hit here. it was recorded in there, would you believe. it's 45 years since everybody�*s got to learn sometime was a top ten hit. i originally came along with a demo. all i had in mind was a voice, piano, drums, and bass. and that was it. but david lord, being the fantastic musician as well as engineer that he is, he said, "no, let's make it something a bit more special, you know? "i think i can do something better with this," sort of thing. as we chatted, they remembered a nearby chapel where they would rehearse. so for old times' sake, out came the guitar.

# we're living in a cartoon world. # i'm living with a cartoon girl... the band are still recording music. their newest album is called ununited nations. what the korgis are united on, though, is their love of music — still singing and still learning, sometimes. # because everybody�*s got to learn sometime...# that was imogen sellers reporting. thatis that is incredible. how do they not look any different? and they still sound the same. 0n look any different? and they still sound the same. on that little tour, and theyjust remember things as they go along. that is the power of music. we have been talking about it. keep your messages coming in about your love songs, because it is the power of music to transform memories. send us yourfavourites, we want to hear them on the programme this morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

a very good morning, welcome to bbc london, i'm thomas magill. police say three men suspected of being involved in the stabbing of an iranian tv host in south london have left the uk. pouria zeraati was stabbed outside his home in wimbledon on friday afternoon. he's since been discharged from hospital. counter—terrorism officers are still leading the investigation, but they've yet to establish a motive for the attack. a market in east london that was suddenly closed back in january could reopen. stratford market village was home to around 60 traders before it shut. now, newham council says it's secured £700,000 from the greater london authority budget. the money should allow the market to continue to trade for another 15 months. speed—dating—style evenings have been launched for people hoping to find their perfect match — not in love, but to share a home with. it's the latest craze in the capital used by those struggling to find accommodation.

around 80 women attended this event in canary wharf. according to the website spareroom, there are four people chasing every room in london. 0rganisers hope that meeting in real life will help people secure a roommate more quickly. we found ourselves, we were searching for housemates. it is so, like, so time—consuming looking online, you don't know if you're going to get on, so we thought this is a much better way of doing it. i'm taking the daunting task. of deciding to move to london. in this economy, i really. want to sort of try different avenues and ways to find a home other thanjust going on. - it feels more natural. which is good, because it is, we're all sort of going for a really awkward time trying to navigate through the rental market in london. let's take a look at how the tube is running at this time of the morning. the northern line is partly closed between golders green and edgware due to planned engineering works.

now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. well, it's been quite a cloudy start with some outbreaks of heavy rain overnight last night. and we have the legacy of that cloud this morning with some further light and patchy rain, but it does improve, becoming drier and brighter later. so, some light rain, some drizzle this morning, but the cloud will thin and break as we head through the day. some drier weather, some sunny spells breaking through the cloud and temperatures reaching around 12 to 15 celsius by the afternoon. but it will be breezy out there. dry, then, to start this evening. some clear spells. but then thicker cloud and two bands of rain arriving in overnight, one after the other. so by the end of the night, some heavy rain in store once more and temperatures holding up at nine to 12 celsius. so it will be mild, but breezy. now low pressure stays with us. the next area of low pressure arriving in to end the week with further outbreaks of showers, some longer spells of rain at times as well. but the temperature's gradually rising, so by the time we reach saturday, we could potentially reach 19 or 20 celsius and it should become drier for the weekend as well.

that's your forecast. that's it from me. there's plenty more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london, where there are regular bulletins all morning. i'll be back in half an hour — but for now let's go back to ben and sally. good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. 0ur headlines today. three british aid workers killed in an israeli air strike in gaza are named. john chapman, james henderson and james kirby were all part of a charity's security team. israel is under growing pressure to explain the strike. rishi sunak has told the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, he is "appalled" by the killings. taiwan suffers its strongest earthquake in 25 years, causing landslides, and many buildings have collapsed.

worries about what is in the water have come to the surface. it follows criticism from railways over pollution. we will take a closer look at how other clubs are coping up look at how other clubs are coping up and down the country. tottenham hotspur is fell short —— for short with their boss saying he wishes he could control his players with a joystick after drawing with west ham. good morning. a cloudy, murky, wet start for many but it should brighten in the south later. the weather remains unsettled through the rest of the week but it will turn warmer, especially on saturday. love changes everything for michael ball as he is named the new presenter of sunday love songs on radio 2. we will speak to him just before 8am. it's wednesday, the 3rd of april. our main story.

three british aid workers who died in an israeli air strike in gaza have been named. john chapman, james henderson and james kirby were amongst seven who were killed. the men were part of a security team working for the charity world central kitchen. there's been international condemnation of the strike, with israel saying it was "unintended". graham satchell reports. the pictures tell their own devastating story. the team from the charity world central kitchen was travelling in a convoy of three cars — you can clearly see their logo. each car was hit in what looks like a precision — targeted — attack. the charity has now paid tribute to the seven workers who lost their lives — including three british nationals. 57—year—old john chapman — who is believed to have served in the royal marines — was working for the charity as a security adviser. james henderson, who was 33, is also understood to have served in the marines. james kirby was 47, and another armed forces veteran. all three men were trying to protect their colleagues. the charity described

them as heroes. world central kitchen was providing vital food aid in gaza, supplying millions of meals. the consequences of the attack will be felt here first. the charity has paused its operations, putting immediate stress on an already desperate situation. that's going to put civilians at risk — at greater risk — of famine. people are already starving to death. and what we really need now is for aid to get in quickly and to be able to be distributed safely. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said the attack was tragic and then said "this happens in war". 0vernight, the head of the israeli army was far more conciliatory. we are sorry for the unintentional

harm to the members of the wck. we share in the grief of the families, as well as the entire world central kitchen organisation, from the bottom of our hearts. despite that apology, there has been global condemnation. america described the attack as an outrage. britain said the deaths were completely unacceptable. australia has demanded accountability. injerusalem, more protests on the street, as israelis demand the safe return of their hostages. pressure is growing at home and abroad — but, so far, the israeli government has been impervious to calls for a ceasefire, and is determined to continue its fight against hamas. graham satchell, bbc news. let's talk to our middle east correspondent. what are the

implications for getting that much needed aid into gaza right now? i mean, there is no doubt about it, this is a major setback and of course we have already had the un warning repeatedly in recent weeks about the threat of famine looming in gaza. world central kitchen late last month said it was feeding 350,000 people every day. it was also of course operating this maritime route, bringing in food supplies from cyprus directly into the north of gaza. the aid workers had just unloaded 100 tonnes of that aid from one barge in the latest flotilla to arrive when they were killed in this israeli air strike. now, the remaining 240 tonnes of food that was just off the coast of gaza, tantalisingly close, has had to make its way back to cyprus because at the moment there is no

way to off—load the rest of the food that was on the ships. this is reallyjust that was on the ships. this is really just exacerbating a that was on the ships. this is reallyjust exacerbating a long—time debate about getting aid into gaza, where israel says it doesn't limit aid and aid workers are saying they have real difficulties with access and with distribution. they will be really demanding new mechanisms be put in place to guarantee the safety of their staff before they are allowed to go back and operate as they have been.— allowed to go back and operate as they have been. yolande, thank you. yolande knell _ they have been. yolande, thank you. yolande knelljoining _ they have been. yolande, thank you. yolande knelljoining us— they have been. yolande, thank you. yolande knelljoining us from - yolande knelljoining us from jerusalem. another story we are following is an ethical ache in taiwan. sally has more on that and the rest of the news for this morning. —— at deadly earthquake. at least four people are dead and dozens are injured after a 7.4 magnitude quake struck taiwan. seismologists say the earthquake is the strongest to hit the east asian nation in 25 years. 0ur asia correspondent,

rupert wingfield—hayes, is in the capital taipei. tremors have been felt there, more than 60 miles from the epicentre. it has struck right across the east coast of the island and it has unleashed a lot of damage and the most dramatic things we have seen so far are pictures of a very, very large landslides. the east coast of taiwan is far more dramatic than the west coast. rugged and mountainous. and there are narrow valleys, high craggy mountains, well over 12,000 foot high, and a lot of them go right down into the ocean. what this earthquake has done, this very, very powerful sheik this morning, is it has unleashed very large landslides coming down into the sea, into valleys there, cutting off valleys, cutting off roads, clearing away bridges, so it is a very messy situation over there. the main city in the east of the island, hualien, which is quite a small city, it's quite a remote area, was struck and there has been damaged there. we have seen two microlight buildings have seen two microlight buildings have partially collapsed. but i have

to say, given the strength of this earthquake, 7.4, and very, very strong shaking, mercifully the damage to the urban infrastructure has so far been relatively light. police in finland have been questioning a 12—year—old boy after a school shooting in which a child was killed and two others were seriously wounded. the attack happened in the city of vantaa, north of helsinki, on tuesday morning. officers say the motive is still unclear. grieving man has been told the ashes he believed were his late wife's not hers as police investigate the funeral director is responsible for her cremation. richard shaw used chemical legacy in delac after losing his wife rita last year. 35 bodies were removed after concerns about care for the deceased. richard shaw got the call on good friday — police had found his wife rita's ashes in a mortuary. they were not in the urn

in their home, as he had believed they were. and he's angry with those responsible, as he told my colleague peter levy. words cannot describe him — or the person — who has done the deeds. and it must be awful for other people, as well. it's unbelievable, you know? you trust a person, and you trust them because it's somebody you'd never go to — it's a last resort — and it's... it's hard to describe, peter. richard doesn't know whose ashes are in his urn, but he says he'll treat them with dignity. i can either keep the ashes or i can get them back — ring them up or something like that. so i says, "well, personally, i want to keep them," and i'm going to look after them because i've looked after them for all this time. and i'm going to... i've got a bit of a garden around the back, peter, and when i do the ashes and stuff for rita, i'm going to put them in there because they can't trace who they're for. his story is depressingly familiar. a few weeks ago, we reported

the case of peter welburn, who paid almost £2,000 to legacy independent funeral directors in hull, and was given ashes by a funeral director four weeks before his wife was actually cremated. well, i think he'sjust give me some ashes to keep me peaceful and the bairns all happy over christmas, which is disgusting. they've just give me anybody's ashes. last month, 35 bodies and a quantity of ashes were removed from legacy independent funeral directors by police following concern for care of the deceased. a 46—year—old man and a 23—year—old woman who were arrested on suspicion of prevention of a lawful and decent burial, fraud by false representation, and fraud by abuse of position, remain on police bail. ellie price, bbc news. three suspects wanted in connection with the stabbing of an iranian journalist in london left the uk within hours of the attack according

to the metropolitan police. he worked for the british based patient language tv channel iran international. he was attacked last week outside his home and has since been discharged from hospital. scotland could become the first part of the uk to ban egg companies from keeping chickens in cages. the scottish government has announced a new consultation on the proposals — and agriculture ministerjim fairlie said that, if they were implemented, scotland would be "leading the way in improving the welfare of animals". conservationists have recorded the lowest—ever count of some butterfly species in britain. the uk butterfly monitoring scheme recorded a mixed picture for 58 types of butterflies last year, with some species soaring in numbers while others saw worrying declines. scientists say human activity — including habitat destruction and climate change — are behind the fluctuations. we arejust we are just getting used to produce summertime but have you ever thought

for the rainfall accumulation chart. look at all the dark blues and light greens. we are looking at in excess, for example in wales, of 90 millimetres of rain accumulating in the next five days, falling on already saturated ground. this morning we have a weather front which is across the central swathe of the country. behind that, to the south, a lot of cloud, some showers first thing this morning, but it will slowly start to brighten up as we go through the day. same for wales. that rain pushing northwards, getting into southern scotland and across northern ireland, as well. we will hang onto some rain, lingering across the far north—east of scotland, winter in the tops of the mountains, and here we still have that brisk wind. later, another weather front comes in from the south—west introducing more rain and brisk winds through the english channel. temperatures today five in the north to 15 in the south. as we head on through the evening and overnight, a rain band eventually starts to peter out to the one

coming in from the south—west continues to push northwards and eastwards, windy around it, and at the cloudy nights, cloudy in the north but mild in the south at 9 or 10 degrees. during tomorrow the rain band continues to push slowly northward and eastward, eventually clearing the south—east. a lot of cloud, a lot of drizzle, and then the next band of rain comes in from the next band of rain comes in from the south—west with strengthening winds. in fact, the south—west with strengthening winds. infact, did the south—west with strengthening winds. in fact, did you know that in england there has been some record amounts of rainfall in the last 18 months? according to provisional figures from the met office. we don't normally look at periods of 18 months, we look at seasonal, yearly and weakly. sometimes even daily, but 18 months is an unusual period to look at and i want to stress that. but from october 2022 to march 2024, parts of england have had 1695.9 millimetres of rain, an

hollywood. an america divided. engulfed by civil war. citizens of america... led by a president who is refusing to leave the white house. kirsten dunst plays a war photographer traumatised by her work. i think the movie is very much so a warning, and i think it leaves people with so much to think about, and ifeel like if you're in the theatre and you really take it in, i think it's a very moving piece aboutjournalists, and you don't really get that look inside in the way that alex filmed this movie, and kind of felt very realistic while watching the film. every time i survived a war zone, i thought i was sending a warning home. "don't do this." but here we are. the film is set in america,

but really this film is about two things. it's aboutjournalists, and it's about polarisation. populist politics and polarisation, which leads to extremism and extremist thinking, and that is happening in america, but it's happening here in this country, and has been happening here for a long time, and it's— happening across europe. i could list the countries, or you could list the countries, where that would be true. he saved my life twice, and i've never even seen his face. kirsten has been acting since she was a child, and as a teenager starred in some of the biggest films of the era. she had stardom, but she didn't have pay equality. i definitely grew up in a time with major pay disparity between the lead actor and myself, even though i had been in bring it on and he hadn't. and did you feel in that time you were in a position that you

couldn't say, "hang on, why is this person being paid more than me?"? i was very young, and it just felt like the time. what you do? it was how it all worked, so it wasn't questioned. and i was 17. i'm still learning. when you are that age, i'm still learning my taste in film. i didn't even think to ask. nobody questioned it. yeah. male executives didn't question it. that's right. these were all inherited opinions. they weren't thought about. you represent the future. all eyes will be on you. marie antoinette was one of kirsten's lavish big—budget films. it's not too much, is it? but it wasn't welcomed by the critics. the people that were watching that movie were my age. they weren't movie reviewers. movie reviewers were old men, so to me, the people that enjoy marie antoinette have now grown up, and they are like, "we loved this movie," but they weren't the people that were writing reviews. we grew up in a world where it is mankind, man—made, man this, man that. that's how we grew up.

i think that, you know, times have changed, don't you? i hope so. i hope so, too. i hope the way i carve my path will help other actresses. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. we are talking about your favourite love songs because later we will be talking to michael ball who is taking over from that really classic slot on radio two, sunday love songs. we asked for your favourite love songs and you have been writing it. morning, my favourite love song is love on a mountaintop, the first my husband and i danced to add that thursday night disco at hms heron when we were both on billing echo in the navy 51 years ago. unbelievable. my the navy 51 years ago. unbelievable. my husband and i are still together after being married for 44 years this year. all three dancing to that song, best wishes from liz. irlat

minor delays on the district line. the northern line is partly closed between golders green and edgware due to planned engineering works. tickets are valid on buses there and finally there's severe delays on the overground. now onto the weather with kawser hello, good morning. well, it's been quite a cloudy start with some outbreaks of heavy rain overnight last night. and we have the legacy of that cloud this morning with some further light and patchy rain, but it does improve, becoming drier and brighter later. so, some light rain, some drizzle this morning, but the cloud will thin and break as we head through the day. some drier weather, some sunny spells breaking through the cloud and temperatures reaching around 12 to 15 celsius by the afternoon. but it will be breezy out there. dry, then, to start this evening. some clear spells. but then thicker cloud and two bands of rain arriving in overnight, one after the other. so by the end of the night, some heavy rain in store once more and temperatures holding up at nine to 12 celsius. so it will be mild, but breezy. now low pressure stays with us. the next area of low pressure arriving in to end the week

with further outbreaks of showers, some longer spells of rain at times as well. but the temperature's gradually rising, so by the time we reach saturday, we could potentially reach 19 or 20 celsius and it should become drier for the weekend as well. that's your forecast. that's it from me. there's plenty more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london where there are regular bulletins all morning. i'll be back with the latest for london in half an hour, but for now let's cross back to ben and sally. hello. this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. let's return to our top story, the israel gaza conflict, and the news that three british aid workers who were killed in an israeli air strike on monday have been named. john chapman, james kirby and james henderson were among seven world central kitchen workers who died. the organisation said it was reeling from the loss. graham satchell is

aid, so the mood music has changed and become much frosty. will it change anything on the ground in gaza? it has to be said that israel has been deaf to the concerns of the international community since this conflict started, and it is certainly not giving any indication that it certainly not giving any indication thatitis certainly not giving any indication that it is ready to stop its conflict or implement any ceasefire. it may be that this is a tipping point in this conflict, but that is not what it looks like at this stage. not what it looks like at this stae, , ., ., not what it looks like at this staie. ., ., ~' not what it looks like at this staie. , ., ., ., ~' , not what it looks like at this stae. , ., ., ., ~' , . stage. graham, thank you very much. let's talk now— stage. graham, thank you very much. let's talk now to _ stage. graham, thank you very much. let's talk now to sarah _ stage. graham, thank you very much. let's talk now to sarah champion, i let's talk now to sarah champion, chair of the international develop and select committee. good morning to you. israel says the strike was not carried out with an intention of harming, they say it was a mistake and it shouldn't have happened and they are sorry. is that enough? it is really not enough. they are absolutely right, it shouldn't have happened, and one of the reasons it shouldn't have happened is they are one of the most advanced arms

countries in the world. they are looking very sophisticated technology. all the drones flying around gathering data that is speeding into the ai around gathering data that is speeding into the a! that is helping them make the decisions about where to strike. but most importantly, the thing that is really wicked about this is all of the aid organisations are giving very detailed information about where they are, what their movements are going to be, what they are going to be doing, who the personnel are, where their buildings are, and yet still we are seeing the strikes happening. it isjust are, and yet still we are seeing the strikes happening. it is just not good enough, and i was actually out on the rafah crossing chilly —— i was on the rafah border, and they said that they are not doing enough to protect their workers. ibihd enough to protect their workers. and we should be clear as well since this war began on october the 7th,

196 aid workers have been killed, and these are just the latest seven. and among them those three britons. what happens next? we have heard time and time again international condemnation from leaders around the world about what is going on between israel and gaza, and yet it seems that very little on the ground changes. that very little on the ground chances. _, ., ., ., , that very little on the ground chances. _, ., ., .,, , changes. the condemnation has been rather soft, hasn't _ changes. the condemnation has been rather soft, hasn't it? _ changes. the condemnation has been rather soft, hasn't it? it _ changes. the condemnation has been rather soft, hasn't it? it is _ changes. the condemnation has been rather soft, hasn't it? it is a - changes. the condemnation has been rather soft, hasn't it? it is a slap i rather soft, hasn't it? it is a slap on the wrist, and the fact that cameron brought the israeli ambassador in a couple of days yesterday, and it is going in front of the headmaster. i would have wanted to see six months ago as the level of outrage that we are seeing, because nearly 200 palestinian aid workers have been killed so far. we are looking at 1.7 million people who are facing starvation, now they are internally displaced. we are looking at all the internal structure in gaza being destroyed, and six months on we are stilljust reprimanding people. what we want to

see, the reality is that the uk and the us are the main power holders in this situation. one of the reasons is that we are supplying arms, the us in a much bigger capacity than us, so where is the reassurance that those arms aren't being used against civilians? apparently cameron had information from lawyers about breaches, whether they were breaches of international law, nearly a month ago. so why is it that parliament hasn't been given that information so that we can see if we are in breach of international law by continuing to supply arms? we are in a very difficult position here, and it is one that the government could get us out off by giving the information that we need to know. and the consequence of these latest strikes of courses that the very people who need aid i now even less likely to get it. world central kitchen saying they have been forced to suspend their operations. we spoke to unicef earlier, they say they will continue for now. but the

reality is, and you saw this for yourself when you visited rafah, these people desperately need help and it is increasingly difficult for aid workers to be able to get it to the people who need it. it is basically _ the people who need it. it is basically impossible. - the people who need it. it 3 basically impossible. i'm incredibly grateful that the world central kitchen was able to get some aid in, and i'm grateful that we are air dropping aid in, but what we need to see is all of the border crossings open. there is only one now, it is israel's gift to open them or not, and what we need is aid to literally flood in. before the horror of october the 7th, we were seeing about 500 trucks a day going in, and that was when all the warehouses were already full of food, when people's store cupboards were full of food and when gaza was growing its own food, and they were self—sufficient in chickens, for

example. now that there is nothing, all the cupboards, all the stores are bare. 50 all the cupboards, all the stores are bare. ., , ., ., are bare. so what needs to change to allow that to — are bare. so what needs to change to allow that to happen? _ are bare. so what needs to change to allow that to happen? we _ are bare. so what needs to change to allow that to happen? we have i are bare. so what needs to change to allow that to happen? we have been| allow that to happen? we have been talking about aid before the strikes, what needs to change? it is very simple- — strikes, what needs to change? it 3 very simple. israel needs to relax the bureaucracy. it needs to open all of the land gates, because only one at the moment is open, to let the aid flood in. people are facing famine. all children under five the aid flood in. people are facing famine. all children underfive now are predicted to be malnourished to are predicted to be malnourished to a point of stunting, so that is the rest of their future gone. we need the food on the medicine to get in. two months ago we were talking about 450,000 people with diseases, they all need support. there are all the people just like us who have long—term conditions, whether that is cancer or heart conditions, who haven't had treatment at all. i saw a three—year—old in hospital who was

diagnosed with leukaemia at a couple of months old. she hasn't had any treatment for the last five months. she is going to die. in these deaths are entirely preventable. this family is 100% man—made, and israel needs to relax the red tape. i understand why it is so incredibly nervous, but people are dying, and it has a duty as an occupying state to those people to provide food, and thatis to those people to provide food, and that is just not happening, and they have made it a lot harder right now. sarah champion, grateful to your time this morning. chair of the international development committee, thank you. it is 7.36. we really are in the run in on the spot, aren't we? yes, we have had the clock change, and everything matters a little bit more as a result, and if you have a rainy night in the london stadium, and ange postecoglou, that tells us how we felt about the result. he talked afterwards about wanting a joystick to be able to control his players because he was so frustrated

about not being able to put them on the right position. it also reveals him as being somebody who grew up in the 70s and 80s when joysticks were a thing! younger audiences won't understand it. you imagine battling with this thing, trying to land some sort of apache helicopter. that is what he is trying to do. but thatis that is what he is trying to do. but that is ange postecoglou, he talked about the missing clarity of thought, and when asked afterwards, he said because they are human, mate. if you can imagine the australian accent on that. so they miss the chance to go up to fourth. their draw was one of three in the premier league last night, while burnley and everton also dropped points in their relegation fight. only bournemouth and perhaps crucially nottingham forest could win. katie gornall rounds up the action. at the london stadium, tottenham had a chance to move into the top four, and their movement was too much at first for west ham. brennanjohnson first for west ham. brennan johnson putting first for west ham. brennanjohnson putting them ahead after

first for west ham. brennan johnson putting them ahead after five minutes. soggy david moyes wasn't impressed, but his side responded well. the equaliser looked to have come off kurt zouma's back, but it is where it ends up that matters. in the end, both sides lacked the cutting edge to win the game, an opportunity missed for spurs. everton arrived at st james's park having not won a league game since mid december, while newcastle had a spring in their step. mid december, while newcastle had a spring in theirstep. it mid december, while newcastle had a spring in their step. it was no surprise who struck first. alexander isaac's stock is only rising. everton nearly made it worse for themselves in the second half, but clung on until newcastle through var handed them a lifeline, a penalty. dominic calvert—lewin hadn't scored in 23 games. what a time for your lot to turn. 1—1 it finished. everton's winless run continues, but this was a point hard earned. nottingham forest are also battling at the wrong end of the table, but through callum hudson—odoi, they turned on the style at the city ground. chris would has popped up at

key moments for forest this season. here is what he can do from distance. it was all too much for fulham's boss who made a triple substitution after just fulham's boss who made a triple substitution afterjust half an hour, but it seems nothing could stop nottingham forest or morgan gibbs—white. fulham would pull a goal back, but forest held on for a vital win. at this stage, every point feels precious. katie gornall, bbc news. adam peaty says he is back to his best after coming through what he has described as three years of hell. qualifying for the paris olympics with a british title in a very fast time. his return to the pool after a break to concentrate on his mental health, but he won the 100 metres breaststroke in central london in under 58 seconds, the fastest time this year, his quicker since he won gold at the tokyo olympics. his girlfriend holly was on hand to give him his medal after that victory. on hand to give him his medal after that victory-— on hand to give him his medal after that victory. that was a great swim, executed well. _ that victory. that was a great swim, executed well, but _ that victory. that was a great swim, executed well, but the _ that victory. that was a great swim, executed well, but the most - executed well, but the most promising thing is that i am finding peace in the water now instead of angen peace in the water now instead of anger, and just fighting it and trying to win like that. i'm just

where they are trying to get bathing water status for the river they rely on. go! tuesday night training at sudbury rowing club in suffolk. solid! coach tony moule has trained crews here for 40 years. staying on your side! it's a massively healthy sport — notjust for physical health, but mental health, as well. out in the countryside with good air. the problem is, there are lots of people with vomiting and sickness and diarrhoea — you know, through the water quality. the club trains on the river stour, but often races on the thames — where, on saturday, cambridge beat oxford in the annual university boat race. afterwards, the oxford men's captain said illness hadn't helped. we've had a few guys go down pretty badly with the e.coli strain, so... i mean, this morning,

i was throwing up. it would have been ideal not to have so much poo in the water but, you know, that's not to take away from cambridge. members of sudbury rowing club say the stour is much cleaner than the thames... ..but, even so, there are problems here. just down there, about half a mile, is the sewage works, and then upstream we've got another sewage work. how bad does it get sometimes? well, we have these outflows that come out, and clearly you can see that some of the outflows are producing some dirty water, which is clearly not good water. the colour of that water... this footage was filmed in harlyn bay in cornwall last year. if there's been exceptionally heavy rain, water companies are allowed to release sewage into rivers or the sea. when they empty the sewage in the storm drains, it gets pretty fouled up, and it's full of all sorts of nasties. and what's that like to be rowing through? well, it's. .. it's pretty disgusting, really. afterwards, you've got to wash your boat down,

clean all the faeces off the blades... ..and all sorts, and you've got to really clean your kit out afterwards. is it getting worse? yes, most definitely. if i'd fallen in, i'm not necessarily worried about me capsizing — it's more, what if i cut my leg when i'm getting in or out of the boat, and a water— borne disease is in the riverand i've... in the worst case scenario, i've now got sepsis. the sad truth of the matter is that people are getting sick. there are sickness bugs around every single day from rowers — you hear about it all the time. there's people who have, unfortunately, open sores on their hands from blisters which get infected by the dirty water we have here. it's safe to take precautions. do we want it to be this way? absolutely not. the number of raw sewage spills into england's rivers and seas more than doubled last year, compared to the year before, according to the environment agency. in 2022, there were 1.75 million hours of spills.

in 2023, there were 3.6 million. the affects of sewage pollution are twofold. one, on wildlife — phosphates and nitrates, which are effectively nutrients, can cause algal blooms that can devastate rivers like the wye and the thames. and secondly, e.coli and other pathogens present in rivers from sewage pollution can be very detrimental to human health. the regional water company, anglian water, says the situation in the river stour improved last year. it said that, despite the record rainfall in 2023, the five storm overflows near sudbury spilled significantly less than in 2022, and were inactive over 99% of the year. there might also be other grounds for optimism for this rowing club. we've taken part in a project to get designated bathing water status for our reach of the river.

that will oblige environment agency to monitor the quality of the water, and potentially provide anglian water with the reason that they need in order to invest in the sewage plant. with the olympics approaching, rowing will be in the spotlight this summer — but concerns over water cleanliness seem unlikely to go away. tim muffett, bbc news. so, what impact does it have the people using those rivers? sarah rogers has also been looking into this. shejoins us now from a rowing club in greater manchester. hello, good morning, yes. this rowing club has been around for 160 years. there are people out on the water this morning, it has not put them off but there is a rigorous

cleaning regime in place which means cleaning regime in place which means cleaning all of these boats. their gels, things like that to make sure that they are clean, but i have been told that there is no storm overflow directly into the keys here, although it is not that far away, but some of the rowers here have said that it can be a little bit grim here at times. we can speak to rebecca duncan from the rivers trust. you have a recent report act which does say 0%, is that right, of our rivers are in over overall good health? what does that mean. that's correct. health? what does that mean. that's correct- the — health? what does that mean. that's correct. the state _ health? what does that mean. that's correct. the state of— health? what does that mean. that's correct. the state of the _ health? what does that mean. that's correct. the state of the rivers i correct. the state of the rivers report in february states that not one stretch of the river overall is in good health, and you have agriculture and chemicals contributing to that. but in reality, the understanding of our rivers is near where it should be, because our monitoring regime just isn't robust enough. so

songs were chosen, and he would then finesse how he would present it. he was always popping into the studio to say, i've got a song for you, michael! i think you need to do this. and he was such a collaborative dj, such collaborative work. and genuinely changed the face of radio to completely when he joined the station, and right up to the end. we were so shocked when we heard that he had left us. when you can hear that final broadcast, and he left us a week later, you would never know there was anything wrong. he was the ultimate professional, and so creative.— and so creative. and, michael, i iuess and so creative. and, michael, i guess one _ and so creative. and, michael, i guess one of — and so creative. and, michael, i guess one of the _ and so creative. and, michael, i guess one of the challenges i and so creative. and, michael, i i guess one of the challenges know for you is one of the things that might be in your mind, which is don't change that formula too much, because it is so good. the thing

chatting to them and getting to know people and getting to know their stories, so i hope there is a place for me to continue to do that. but the key to it will always be and always should be the great music and the great stories that accompany them. �* the great stories that accompany them. . ., ., , , ., them. and radio is brilliant, because it _ them. and radio is brilliant, because it is _ them. and radio is brilliant, because it is really - them. and radio is brilliant, | because it is really intimate. them. and radio is brilliant, i because it is really intimate. you can talk to people that are listening, they can talk directly back to you by sending in their messages. and then when you get their stories coupled with the songs on radio, that is part of the magic, isn't it? everybody can talk to everyone else and share those stories. . . everyone else and share those stories. , ., , ., , everyone else and share those stories. , ., , stories. yes, what you 'ust said then is absolutely i stories. yes, what you just said then is absolutely right. - stories. yes, what you just said then is absolutely right. it i stories. yes, what you just said then is absolutely right. it is i then is absolutely right. it is without question the most intimate way of reacting and interacting with the listener. television, you are always a little bit aware, i'm sitting here going, is the lighting going to be all right, am i looking very rough and tired. at this time in the morning, having just finished

in january could reopen. stratford market village was home to around 60 traders before it shut. now, newham council says it's secured £700,000 from the greater london authority budget. the money should allow the market to continue to trade for another 15 months. let's take a look at how the tube is running. the northern line is partly closed between golders green and edgware due to planned engineering works. tickets are valid on buses there. now the weather, and it will be cloudy first thing with a few patches of rain this morning, but it will turn sunny with the chance of the odd isolated shower in the afternoon. top temperature of 15 degrees. that's it from me. there's plenty more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london, where there's regular bulletins all morning. i'll be back with the latest for london in half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. 0ur headlines today. three british aid workers killed in an israeli air strike in gaza are named. john chapman, james henderson and james kirby were all part of a charity's security team. israel is under growing pressure to explain the strike. rishi sunak has told the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, he is "appalled" by the killings. taiwan suffers its strongest earthquake in 25 years, causing landslides, and many buildings have collapsed. seven people are confirmed to have died. more than 700 are injured. the prospect of more strike action from teachers in england and wales, as the national education union considers a formal ballot. manchester united's rafael van arnth claimed his body has been damaged by the effects of heading a football

during his career and he has told his seven—year—old son not to do it. good morning. cloudier, meg and dan for many. it will brighten later in parts of the south—east but, through the next few days the weather remains unsettled and turning warming at the weekend. all the details later in the programme. it's wednesday, the 3rd of april. three british aid workers who died in an israeli air strike in gaza have been named. john chapman, james henderson and james kirby were amongst seven who were killed. the men were part of a security team working for the charity world central kitchen. there's been international condemnation of the strike, with israel saying it was "unintended". graham satchell reports. the pictures tell their own devastating story. the team from the charity world central kitchen was travelling in a convoy of three cars — you can clearly see their logo. each car was hit in what looks like a precision —

targeted — attack. the charity has now paid tribute to the seven workers who lost their lives — including three british nationals. 57—year—old john chapman — who is believed to have served in the royal marines — was working for the charity as a security adviser. james henderson, who was 33, is also understood to have served in the marines. james kirby was a7, and another armed forces veteran. all three men were trying to protect their colleagues. the charity described them as heroes. world central kitchen was providing vital food aid in gaza, supplying millions of meals. the consequences of the attack will be felt here first. the charity has paused its operations, putting immediate stress on an already desperate situation. that's going to put civilians at risk —

at greater risk — of famine. people are already starving to death. and what we really need now is for aid to get in quickly and to be able to be distributed safely. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said the attack was tragic and then said "this happens in war". overnight, the head of the israeli army was far more conciliatory. we are sorry for the unintentional harm to the members of the wck. we share in the grief of the families, as well as the entire world central kitchen organisation, from the bottom of our hearts. despite that apology, there has been global condemnation. america described the attack as an outrage. britain said the deaths were completely unacceptable. australia has demanded accountability. injerusalem, more protests on the street, as israelis demand the safe return of their hostages. pressure is growing

at home and abroad — but, so far, the israeli government has been impervious to calls for a ceasefire, and is determined to continue its fight against hamas. graham satchell, bbc news. 0ur middle east correspondent, yolande knell, is injerusalem and told us more on the impact this could have on getting aid into gaza. i mean, there's no doubt about it — this is a major setback, and of course we've already had the un warning repeatedly in recent weeks about the threat of famine looming in gaza. now, world central kitchen, late last month, it said it had 67 kitchens operating in gaza, that it was feeding 350,000 people every day. it was also, of course, operating this maritime route, bringing in food supplies from cyprus directly into the north of gaza. now, the aid workers had just unloaded 100 tonnes of that aid from one barge in the latest flotilla to arrive, when they were killed

in this israeli air strike. now, the remaining 240 tonnes of food that was just off the coast of gaza — so tantalisingly close — that has had to make its way back to cyprus because, at the moment, there is no way to off—load the rest of that food that was on the ships. i mean, this has reallyjust exacerbated a long—time debate about getting aid into gaza — where israel says it doesn't limit aid. aid workers are saying that they have real difficulties with access and with distribution. so they're going to be really demanding new mechanisms be put in place to guarantee the safety of their staff before they're allowed to go back and operate as they have been. sally has the other main stories this morning.

at least seven people are dead and more than 700 injured after a deadly earthquake hit taiwan. 0ur asia correspondent, rupert wingfield—hayes, is in the capital taipei. just how bad has it been? well, it's a ve bi just how bad has it been? well, it's a very big earthquake. _ just how bad has it been? well, it's a very big earthquake. a _ just how bad has it been? well, it's a very big earthquake. a lot - just how bad has it been? well, it's a very big earthquake. a lot of - a very big earthquake. a lot of people here telling me they don't ever remember earthquake happening this big at least in 25 years. many young people saying they have never felt an earthquake like this before. the shaking was extremely intense. i was at home in my kitchen and had to hold onto the kitchen countertop to stop... that is how intense the shaking was. to stop myself falling off. the damage to the capital is limited but on the east coast there has been extensive damage. we have now seen the number of injured jump from a few dozen to now they are saying over 700 people injured. that is because we are getting reports in from remote areas, particularly in

the mountains, where this earthquake unleashed a very, very large numbers of landslides that have come down into valleys where people are living, onto roads where traffic was travelling. i have seen a truck that was hit by an enormous boulder that came down and just smashed the cab of the truck. so really terrifying time for a lot of people who have experienced this quake at eight i am today. fortunately the death toll appears to be fairly small and hualien has survived relatively unscathed although we understand there are still a number of people trapped in buildings there. i believe you were actually there are 25 years ago when the last major earthquake happen. how does this compare to then? 50. earthquake happen. how does this compare to then?— compare to then? so, that was a sli . htl compare to then? so, that was a slightly bigger _ compare to then? so, that was a slightly bigger earthquake - compare to then? so, that was a slightly bigger earthquake and i compare to then? so, that was a slightly bigger earthquake and it| slightly bigger earthquake and it was in the central mountains but it brought down dozens and dozens of buildings and the death toll was 2400. so i think what it demonstrates, after that one, there

was a lot of soul—searching here in taiwan, building codes were changed, construction methods improved. what we're seeing today is the result of that. very few buildings have actually been brought down because of this large quake.— of this large quake. rupert, thank ou. police in finland have been questioning a i2—year—old boy after a school shooting in which a child was killed and two others were seriously wounded. the attack happened in the city of vantaa, north of helsinki, on tuesday morning. officers say the motive is still unclear. the uk's largest education union is considering whether to formally ballot its members for strike action over teachers' pay. in a consultative ballot, members of the national educational union — which represents staff in england and wales — indicated they would strongly back such a move. here's our education correspondent, hazel shearing. we got used to scenes like this outside school gates last year, but could it happen again? teachers who are members of the national education union have supported the idea of more strikes for a fully funded and above—inflation pay rise in an informal consultative ballot

in england and wales. there is an appetite amongst teachers for action over pay, but i think that is coupled with a worry about being misrepresented and misunderstood. but unless we take action over pay, you know, the devaluing of education willjust go on and on and on and on. last night, the neu executive met to discuss the next steps, and whether or not to move to a formal ballot. the total pay award for teachers last year was 6.5% — including starting salaries in england reaching £30,000. the government has asked the pay review body in england to take into account the existing pressure on school budgets, and to look at whether rises should be targeted at subjects with shortages of teachers. it said further strike action would cause more disruption to pupils. pay won't be the only thing on the minds of neu members

at their conference in bournemouth this week — they'll also be talking about things like 0fsted, which the government says drives up school standards with its inspections, after most members said single—word judgements were unfair. but it's the idea of more strikes that could have the most direct impact on parents. hazel shearing, bbc news. a grieving man has been told the ashes he believed were his late wife's are not hers, as police investigate the funeral directors responsible for her cremation. richard shaw used legacy independent funeral directors in hull, after losing his wife rita last year. 35 bodies were removed from the firm by officers following a "concern for care of the deceased". 0ur reporter ellie price has more. richard shaw got the call on good friday — police had found his wife rita's ashes in a mortuary. they were not in the urn in their home, as he had believed they were. and he's angry with those responsible, as he told my colleague peter levy.

words cannot describe him — or the person — who has done the deeds. and it must be awful for other people, as well. it's unbelievable, you know? you trust a person, and you trust them because it's somebody you'd never go to — it's a last resort — and it's... it's hard to describe, peter. richard doesn't know whose ashes are in his urn, but he says he'll treat them with dignity. i can either keep the ashes or i can get them back — ring them up or something like that. so i says, "well, personally, i want to keep them," and i'm going to look after them because i've looked after them for all this time. and i'm going to... i've got a bit of a garden around the back, peter, and when i do the ashes and stuff for rita, i'm going to put them in there because they can't trace who they're for. his story is depressingly familiar. a few weeks ago, we reported the case of peter welburn, who paid almost £2,000

to legacy independent funeral directors in hull, and was given ashes by a funeral director four weeks before his wife was actually cremated. well, i think he'sjust give me some ashes to keep me peaceful and the bairns all happy over christmas, which is disgusting. they've just give me anybody's ashes. last month, 35 bodies and a quantity of ashes were removed from legacy independent funeral directors by police following concern for care of the deceased. a 46—year—old man and a 23—year—old woman who were arrested on suspicion of prevention of a lawful and decent burial, fraud by false representation, and fraud by abuse of position, remain on police bail. ellie price, bbc news. the body which manages britain's railways says its five—year plan to invest £45 million aims to deliver a better service for passengers. network rail says it will use its budget over that time to try to provide "the best level

of train performance possible", with targets to slash passenger cancellations. three suspects wanted in connection with the stabbing of an iranian journalist in london left the uk within hours of the attack, according to the metropolitan police. pouria zeraati works for the british—based persian language tv channel, iran international. he was attacked last week outside his home, and has since been discharged from hospital. scotland could become the first part of the uk to ban egg companies from keeping chickens in cages. the scottish government has announced a new consultation on the proposals — and agriculture ministerjim fairlie said that, if they were implemented, scotland would be "leading the way in improving the welfare of animals". some nice pictures for you now but we don't quite know what they are. doesn't happen often.— we don't quite know what they are. doesn't happen often. normally we check them! _ people across southern california have been left baffled by streaks

of light that moved across the sky in the middle of the night. what the hell?! it's a meteor shower! is it? yeah! 0r or is it?! it is unclear what caused the light, though people on social media speculated that it could be debris from a spacex launch or a module from the chinese shenzhou 15 spacecraft, which was due to enter the atmosphere around the same time. makes a change from the rain, though, doesn't it? maybe not in california, to be fair, but certainly here. carol always knows what is going on in the sky and there is lots of it. there certainly is. rain this morning in yorkshire, right under a weather front. morning in yorkshire, right under a weatherfront. no pressure firmly morning in yorkshire, right under a weather front. no pressure firmly in charge of our weather. tony sent this in earlier. let's look at the forecast for the next few days. watch what happens. low pressure today, and then another area comes in and then another area comes in. and then another area comes in.

again and temperatures in the north two, up to ten in a cell. tomorrow, the rain is logically from the south—east. again, a lot of cloud around. the brighter spells for a time behind the rain but then we have the next batch coming in with strengthening winds and temperatures about six in the north to around 16 in the south. we are not done with it just yet. in the south. we are not done with itjust yet. we in the south. we are not done with it 'ust et. ~ ., ., itjust yet. we are never done with it, are itjust yet. we are never done with it. are we. — itjust yet. we are never done with it, are we, carol? _ itjust yet. we are never done with it, are we, carol? that's _ itjust yet. we are never done with it, are we, carol? that's true! - it, are we, carol? that's true! thank yom — it, are we, carol? that's true! thank you. thanks. _ at least all of that rain means you get glorious greenery like this and we will embrace that. if you watch breakfast regularly, you will be familiar with the incredible journey of the 3 dads walking. mike, andy and tim became friends and campaigners when they walked 300 miles to raise awareness — after they each lost a daughter to suicide. now, the story of their walk has been turned into a book, based on journal entries written during their time on the road. 0ur reporter, alison freeman,

caught up with them. never in a million years would i have ever imagined my youngest daughter, beth, taking her own life. however, on the 28th of march 2020, she did just that. sophie had been a lovely little girl with blonde hair and a ready smile. she loved to be with people. we spent loads of time outdoors, walking, biking and skiing. just a lovely person. i found a note from emily which she'd placed in her| cloth shopping bag. "the last thing i'd like to ask of you is that don't be - ashamed of what i've done. i don't mind if people know. about what happened to me, if it'll help them before it's too late." _ it's always been about walking and talking. and now the 3 dads have put their stories into their own words. a book and an audio book about how they came into each other�*s lives, and the effect they have had on the lives of others,

goes on sale this week. walking through the village on a road i knew so well. with blokes i barely knew — - it felt strange that i wouldn't be returning home for over two weeks. the book is called three dads walking: 300 miles of hope, and charts the ups and downs of their first walk between their three homes in cumbria, greater manchester, and norfolk. make it a bit more . comfortable for you. the blister situation was getting serious, but the cumbrian was to prove that he was made of stern — if not a little grumpy — stuff. and whilst the walking has now turned into campaigning for greater education to help with suicide prevention, the stories of the dads' daughters have always been at the heart of everything. for those who know the pain of suicide, know that there is a way forward. for those that have thoughts of suicide, know there is help. you are never alone. there is always hope. alison freeman, bbc news.

with some outbreaks of heavy rain overnight last night. and we have the legacy of that cloud this morning with some further light and patchy rain, but it does improve, becoming drier and brighter later. so, some light rain, some drizzle this morning, but the cloud will thin and break as we head through the day. some drier weather, some sunny spells breaking through the cloud and temperatures reaching around 12 to 15 celsius by the afternoon. but it will be breezy out there. dry, then, to start this evening. some clear spells. but then thicker cloud and two bands of rain arriving in overnight, one after the other. so by the end of the night, some heavy rain in store once more and temperatures holding up at nine to 12 celsius. so it will be mild, but breezy. now low pressure stays with us. the next area of low pressure arriving in to end the week with further outbreaks of showers, some longer spells of rain at times as well. but the temperature's gradually rising, so by the time we reach saturday, we could potentially reach 19 or 20 celsius and it should become drier for the weekend as well. that's your forecast. that's it from me. there's plenty more on the bbc news app and on bbc radio london where there are regular bulletins all morning. i'll be back with the latest

for london in half an hour. hello this is breakfast with sally nugent and ben thompson. let's return to the top story that we are telling you about here this morning, the israel gaza conflict, and the news that three british aid workers who were killed in an israeli air strike on monday have now been named. they arejohn chapman, james kirby and james henderson. they were among seven world central kitchen workers who died in the attack. the organisation said it was reeling from the loss. let's talk right now to our international editorjeremy bowen. good morning. widespread condemnation of what has happened, and disbelief that it even happened at all. yes, a lot of condemnation. much stronger language from presidentjoe biden overnight then we have had up

to now. as for surprise that it has happened, actually probably there shouldn't be, because the way that israel has been using its massive firepower in gaza now for six months, killing more than 32,000 palestinians, including mostly civilians, and also killing getting on for 200 palestinian aid workers working mostly for the un and for that un led relief agency effort, i think that this is a sign that the way the world works is that the deaths of these aid workers, foreignness, i think, deaths of these aid workers, foreignness, ithink, have had deaths of these aid workers, foreignness, i think, have had this big effect because it is in a sense for a lot of israel's allies, it is almost the last straw of feeling that they are running out of patience. that they are running out of patience-— that they are running out of patience. that they are running out of atience. �* . , ., , ,. patience. and jeremy, what is your assessment _ patience. and jeremy, what is your assessment here _ patience. and jeremy, what is your assessment here about _ patience. and jeremy, what is your assessment here about whether i patience. and jeremy, what is your.

assessment here about whether this changes anything? we have spoken time and time again about international condemnation, world leaders condemning what is going on there, and yet very little has changed. does this feel like a significant moment, and there may be a change in strategy as a result? it is potentially if the israeli government can be persuaded to go about things in a different way, and “p about things in a different way, and up to now, despite increasingly harsh criticism, starting withjoe biden, they haven't. the big thing that would change things would be if the americans, particularly, and others including britain, either ceased or put conditions on the use of arms supplies, and that is the big lever in the hands of the white house, because what is happening is that as the criticism of israel's

criticism of and destruction of property, as that mounts, at the same time, with the other hand, the americans are sending in more of the weapons that are doing all of those things. and we were talking about this horrendous situation, but it does take away from the recent attack on syria too. i take away from the recent attack on s ria too. . . ~ take away from the recent attack on s ria too. ., ., ~ ., i. ., syria too. i am talking to you from northern israel, _ syria too. i am talking to you from northern israel, i'm _ syria too. i am talking to you from northern israel, i'm not _ syria too. i am talking to you from northern israel, i'm not all- syria too. i am talking to you from northern israel, i'm not all that i northern israel, i'm not all that far, a few miles, from the border with lebanon. the stretch of syria that israel occupies is just over there, as the crow flies i am about 50 miles from damascus. this is if you like the shadow war that has been going on since october and potentially because it involves israel, it evolves iran and its friends, notably the lebanese militia and political group his

hezbollah in this war that has been steadily escalating since october, but the worry now is that they are sliding into an all—out war which, if it does happen, because of the level of weaponry on both sides, it could be much worse, even worse than gaza. , , �* ., ., , gaza. jeremy bowen there, 'oining us live from northern israel, i gaza. jeremy bowen there, joining us live from northern israel, thank i live from northern israel, thank you. hew is here with us on the sofa this morning, and really quite extraordinary words coming from a professional footballer talking about the issue of concussion. yes, and coming from a current premiership footballer as well, varane talking about concussion in football and in sport more widely.

here's the latest in a series of footballers to speak about the concerns about the impact of heading, and he has current player. in an interview with a french newspaper, he said even if it doesn't cause immediate trauma, we know that in the long—term, repeated shocks can have harmful effects. he says, i don't know if i will live to be100, but i do know i have damaged my body. the dangers of headers need to be taught on all amateur football pitches, to young people, he said that he put himself at risk by playing against germany back in the 2014 world cup for france having been hit on the head in a previous match, saying this. ifinished been hit on the head in a previous match, saying this. i finished that match, saying this. i finished that match against nigeria, but i was in autopilot mode. he explained the barriers to dealing with concussion. we are accustomed to pain, you're a bit like soldiers, tough guys, symbols of physical strength, but these are symptoms which are quite invisible, and now it has influenced how he raises his children, saying, my seven—year—old son plays football, and i advise him to not head the ball. we are now going to

talk about the risks associated with heading football. we're joined talk about the risks associated with heading football. we'rejoined now by the son of nobby stiles, john, and rafael varane has had very strong words. i’m and rafael varane has had very strong words.— and rafael varane has had very strong words. and rafael varane has had very stron: words. �* .., ., _ strong words. i'm encouraged by him comini out strong words. i'm encouraged by him coming out and _ strong words. i'm encouraged by him coming out and saying _ strong words. i'm encouraged by him coming out and saying this _ strong words. i'm encouraged by him coming out and saying this publicly, l coming out and saying this publicly, because we have been hammering on about it for awhile, and he is right right to be worried. the disease thatis right to be worried. the disease that is killing so many footballers like killed my father is chronic traumatic and, we donated my dad's brain that was riddled with the disease. interestingly, idid brain that was riddled with the disease. interestingly, i did write to all the super league clubs, advising them that myself and the professor leading the field would

come and talk to the players. in one of the responses we got from manchester united, but it was a no, we wouldn't be allowed to talk to the players. if you are facing difficulties in terms of telling your story and the story of your dad to those current players, how important is it that raphael varane and perhaps others now think to themselves, yes, i am a tough guy when i play football, but this is an important thing that i need to say for not only thing but also for his son. it is need to say for not only thing but also for his son.— also for his son. it is basically sa ini also for his son. it is basically saying what — also for his son. it is basically saying what we _ also for his son. it is basically saying what we have - also for his son. it is basically saying what we have been i also for his son. it is basically i saying what we have been saying for the last three years since my dad died. it is glaringly obvious. we know the science, and today he has confirmed the science, and for a current player to come out, i'm sure he won't be thanked by the football clubs in the football establishment for saying it, but it is true. this is a really serious problem. it is interesting, you may be is a really serious problem. it is interesting, you may he didn't get much of a response from the clubs, but do you sense that the players perhaps want to talk about it even if the clubs don't, because for the clubs, the players on their

assets, aren't they? the players themselves have got to start to say something. the themselves have got to start to say somethina. ., , , something. the trouble is the -la ers something. the trouble is the players may _ something. the trouble is the players may not _ something. the trouble is the players may not be _ something. the trouble is the players may not be aware. i something. the trouble is the i players may not be aware. although raphael varane has said he is worried long term, he may not know what the science is, so cte. i would be interested to know if he has researched and found out, and if not, i would like to tell him. he will have been in an academy since he was a kid. he will have headed the ball all of those years, and all of that time, this is gathering in his brain. �* . of that time, this is gathering in his brain. . ., , his brain. and that is the difficulty _ his brain. and that is the difficulty of _ his brain. and that is the difficulty of something i his brain. and that is the l difficulty of something like his brain. and that is the - difficulty of something like this, it is proving cause and effect, and the science is now starting to make that link, but it is making people aware of the link when the symptoms of it may show up much later in life. ., ., of it may show up much later in life. , ., of it may show up much later in life. ,., _ ,., , life. footballer start with symptoms around late 50s, _ life. footballer start with symptoms around late 50s, early _ life. footballer start with symptoms around late 50s, early 60s. - life. footballer start with symptoms around late 50s, early 60s. last i around late 505, early 605. last week i spoke to two champions in england, they believe they are losing their memory and starting with symptoms. there are 55,000 x footballers, and if the professor's

figures are right, between 30 and 60% of them will get dementia. i said to him, out of all the brains he has examined, how many had cte in them? he has examined, how many had (t e in them? �* he has examined, how many had (t e in them? . :: , he has examined, how many had (t e in them? ~ z: , and he has examined, how many had (t e in them?— and it - he has examined, how many had (t e in them?— and it is - he has examined, how many had (t e in them?_ and it is not l them? and he said 70%. and it is not 'ust them? and he said 70%. and it is not just football- — them? and he said 70%. and it is not just football- i _ them? and he said 70%. and it is not just football. i know _ them? and he said 70%. and it is not just football. i know rugby _ just football. i know rugby particularly, they are starting to look at this. are there any other sports that football might be able to learn from? i sports that football might be able to learn from?— to learn from? i don't know about learn from- _ to learn from? i don't know about learn from. we _ to learn from? i don't know about learn from. we have _ to learn from? i don't know about learn from. we have got - to learn from? i don't know about learn from. we have got to i to learn from? i don't know about learn from. we have got to start. to learn from? i don't know about. learn from. we have got to start to be able to tell the players first of all. any sport where there is a head impact. rugby, boxing, ice hockey, nfl, you are going to get this disease. if you get banged on the head thousands of times go you're very likely going to get cte, it is not rocket science. all sports can learn, but i'm primarily stuck in football because it is what killed my dad.

football because it is what killed m dad. ., , , ., my dad. the game is trying to limit headers in young — my dad. the game is trying to limit headers in young players, - my dad. the game is trying to limit headers in young players, it - my dad. the game is trying to limit headers in young players, it is i headers in young players, it is outlawed in training and then built slowly into the age ranges unlimited in training for professional footballers. as ben said, this is an inertia, if you like. it happens young and continues on into the older generations. does it have to almost begin at source, when you are almost begin at source, when you are a child at the age of seven? is that the age that you would be able to try and limit it in the future? thea;t try and limit it in the future? they have not try and limit it in the future? they have got to _ try and limit it in the future? they have got to limit, _ try and limit it in the future? they have got to limit, but _ try and limit it in the future? they have got to limit, but i _ try and limit it in the future? ira: have got to limit, but i don't try and limit it in the future? iiez1. have got to limit, but i don't know whether that limits being policed. basically everybody needs to be educated. everybody needs to know. so in my opinion, parents whose kids are playing should have to sign a waiver saying they have been informed and they are happy for their child to play when they get to 18, he or she then had to do the same again. and if they know, they can make an informed decision, but if the moment, they don't know. raphael varane has come out, and i would love to know what research he has done. this is a massive, massive

problem. in my opinion, it is like a dam that is ready to burst. there are that many former players at risk. and the fa have undertaken studies, the pfa are trying to do the same thing, so asjohn rightly says, the information needs to be brought in as much as possible so that they will feel qualified to make the decisions that so many people have felt personally. thank you, john, we appreciate you being here. it is 18 minutes to nine. here's carol with a look at the weather. good morning, everyone. we are looking pretty we go to the rest of the week, it will be windy at times, but there will be sunny spells as well. it should one write up by

saturday, and we could reach 20 celsius by the first time this year, in east anglia, but temperatures will be higher than where they currently are. if you have an hour allergy to pollen, it is birch pollen at the moment that is prevalent. it is high across the far south—east, moderate for much of in wales and low for the rest of us. this band of rain is pushing into central areas, and it will brighten up central areas, and it will brighten up in the south before the next band of rain in strengthening winds comes from the south—west. the rain on and off as i mentioned through north—east scotland, and that chilly feel accentuated by the brisk north—easterly wind. as we head through the evening and overnight, that will slowly pull away. they will be a lot of cloud left behind it, and the weather front coming into the south—west producing the rain pushes a bit further northwards and eastwards. brisk winds too through the endless channel, and it is going to be mild in the south but

cold as we push further north. into tomorrow, we start off with this rain across southern counties of england, pushing towards the south—east. a lot of cloud, some murky conditions as well, and a few showers, but brightening up behind this band of rain across parts of southern england and wales, just one or two showers, and then the next band of rain comes in from the south—west, accompanied by strengthening winds. temperatures, six in lerwick to about 16 as we push down towards london, and still this key north—easterly wind. then as we go through friday, friday we see the rain across the north of scotland, with some snow on the mountains for a time. there will also be a few showers coming towards the west, but drier as we can further south with fewer showers. still windy, though, windy wherever you are, even with some gales with exposure out towards the west possible, but we are looking at temperatures 9—18, so wherever you go in the uk, temperatures are more

or less up apart from at this stage in lerwick. that will change on saturday. we have got the southerly wind moving across the bulk of the uk. there will be a lot of dry weather. if you're going to do your washing, wait until saturday, because for most it will be dry, windy and warm. a few showers out towards the west, though, and these are the temperatures, nine in the north to potentially 20 in the south—east, that is 68 fahrenheit in old money. they are a lifeline for many families — but some youth clubs across the uk are facing an uncertain future, with financil pressures threatening them with closure. gamesley community centre in derbyshire is one of those clubs. when breakfast�*sjohn maguire visited earlier this year, the building housing it had been earmarked for closure by the local council. since then, the club has received a wave of support. but, asjohn found when he returned, their fight isn't over yet. they're jumping forjoy here at the hangout youth club

in gamesley, on the edge of the peak district. when we visited a month ago, things were looking bleak — this community centre faced closure, and the volunteers here launched a crowdfunder in an attempt to save the clubs that meet here. the day it got aired, i was working and my computer just went, "bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing..." and it wasjust, "what the hell's going on here?" we were just so overwhelmed by it all. just amazing. it was literally people from all over the country just saying, "we've seen your report and we want to help." so, yeah, it was just absolutely... yeah, it was overwhelming, really. the building's owned by derbyshire county council, which doesn't use it, and wants to close it down. and then pick a number for me, please. local people and businesses have rallied round with donations and raffle prizes — including these beds — hence tonight's bed—making contest. put it on the bed now. put it on the bed. well done.

as the fights go on, the activities go on. so how many raffles have you done? tonight, they're receiving a visit from john roberts — he's the founder of the online retailer a0, and a supporter of the charity that runs 0nside youth zones across the uk. he's passionate about places like this, and the part they play in people's lives. there's 15 volunteers here tonight that are giving their time for free. these kids know they're giving their time for free. it's a different relationship, yeah? and so they'll talk to those people — they'll talk to them about different challenges that they're having in their lives — and so it'sjust as important from an education perspective, or whether it's doing art here or whatever they're learning. i guess the difference is this, if you boil it down — these kids are choosing to come here, and they have to go to school. maybe we should put some investment where the kids are choosing to go.

talking to the children here, they enjoy the sports available as well as the activities — art and cooking — but the word that keeps coming up is "friendship", and the opportunity to socialise. it's very, like, sociable, so you get to, like, socialise with, like, loads of other people doing things that you never really got to do. and... helps you do things you never thought you would. it's just fun to do when there's nothing else, cos there's nothing now really on the estate to do, so... social and good fun. so... like, if it gets shutdown, it's not going to help lots of kids because we come here to socialise and meet new people. the volunteers are in the process of setting up a community group that can take over the building from derbyshire county council. they'll need almost £70,000. we still need more funds. we're always going to need more.

you know, it's one of them things. the building is tired. we are building quite a big cohort of groups that want to come, use the centre, and provide more activities. so i think, actually, this could be the best thing ever for the actual — for the centre and for the estate and the young people on the estate. it's given them sort of — empowered them to take ownership of it. their determination is obvious. they promise to succeed and to save their youth club forfamilies here — notjust because they want to — but, they say, because they have to. john maguire, bbc news, gamesley. hello. we are actually still here! you will notice we've moved a little bit, because i'm delighted to say, with us is luke littler and nathan

aspinall, both with this in the studio ahead of the premier league darts in manchester tomorrow. good morning. we have moved to a very special reason, because we are lucky enough to have our own bbc breakfast dartboard this morning, and you are going to show us a few of your moves ahead of this... it is going to show us a few of your moves ahead of this. . .— ahead of this. .. it is a bit early. how early _ ahead of this. .. it is a bit early. how early is — ahead of this. .. it is a bit early. how early is this _ ahead of this. .. it is a bit early. how early is this for _ ahead of this. .. it is a bit early. how early is this for somebody | how early is this for somebody normally playing darts?- how early is this for somebody normally playing darts? very. we are niuht normally playing darts? very. we are night players- — normally playing darts? very. we are night players. there _ normally playing darts? very. we are night players. there is _ normally playing darts? very. we are night players. there is only _ normally playing darts? very. we are night players. there is only 19 - night players. there is only 19 o'clock— night players. there is only 19 o'clock for— night players. there is only 19 o'clock for us normally, in the night, — o'clock for us normally, in the night, not _ o'clock for us normally, in the night, not in the morning. the same for us, night, not in the morning. the same for us. but — night, not in the morning. the same for us. but it — night, not in the morning. the same for us. but it is _ night, not in the morning. the same for us, but it is the _ night, not in the morning. the same for us, but it is the other _ night, not in the morning. the same for us, but it is the other one! - for us, but it is the other one! what is it like playing this week? massive. i would choose manchester over liverpool because it is my hometown, but nathanjust over liverpool because it is my hometown, but nathan just can't get to weight out there tomorrow in front of the crowd, it is hometown. what you think the reception will be like for you? i think they are going
