at the club, he says he'll always feel tied to liverpool. i got the key of the city and i know thatis i got the key of the city and i know that is funny for a lot of people, oh, my god, but familiarfeel that responsibility so i don't imagine the club need my help in the future but if they beat me i am there. that is how it is. i want to be helpful in whatever way and we will see how that looks. another manager preparing for his final game in charge is brighton boss roberto de zerbi. he's leaving the club by mutual consent after their match with manchester united. the italian is only half—way through a four—year contract. he led brighton to their highest top flight finish when they came sixth last season. they're currently tenth. celtic manager brendan rodgers says "it means everything" after his side were presented with the scottish premiership trophy. they'd already won the league, but came from behind to beat st mirren 3—2 in their final game of the season. at christmas, santa claus was booed

after conducting a half—time draw when they were losing a game, so he was invited back, this time bearing better gifts. it's celtic�*s third consecutive title. they'll face rangers at hampden next saturday in the scottish cup final. a chance for more silverware. emma hayes says she's "relieved" after winning a fifth successive women's super league title with chelsea. a 6—0 thumping of manchester united on the final day of the season meant they beat manchester city to the honours on goal difference. british record signing mayra ramirez settled the nerves by scoring the opening goal afterjust two minutes. it's a seventh wsl title for hayes and a fitting send off as she leaves the club to take over as the usa head coach. i don't think i have any words. probably mixed with a ton of

different emotions. it is the end, and i will not be where this team all these fans again. but they are always in my heart. england women's under 175 team had a great run to the european championship final but they fell at the final hurdle, losing 4—0 to spain. it was the furthest the young lionesses had got in the competition but they were completely outplayed by the favourites. england's performance has earned them a place in the world cup later this year. oxford united will be back in english football's second tier next season for the first time in 25 years. that's after they beat bolton wanderers 2—0 in the league one playoff final at wembley. both goals came from josh murphy in the space of 11 minutes. it's a remarkable turnaround for united, who were in danger of relegation last season and were thrashed 5—0 by boltonjust two months ago. there's more live rugby league for you on bbc2 this afternoon,

to golf day, and moving day at valhalla did not disappoint with major changes on the leader board at the us pga championship. irishman shane lowry made the biggest leap, with a major record—equalling 62. he had nine birdies in a flawless third round. the former open champion is 13—under par, two shots behind the leaders xander schauffele and collin morikawa. lowry clearly enjoyed playing alongside his ryder cup team—mate justin rose, who shot a 64 to finish the day — one shot behind lowry, along with robert macintyre. that along with robert macintyre. deserves a hug. to fr 110w. max verstappen is on pole for the emilia romagna grand prix later. it's his eighth pole position in a row, and that matches the all—time record set by ayrton senna. the championship leader beat mclaren's oscar piastri and lando norris in a tight qualifying session

with only a tenth of a second dividing the top three. piastri will start fifth, though, after he was given a three—place grid penalty. mercedes' george russell was sixth quickest with lewis hamilton down in eighth. coverage of that across the bbc but thatis coverage of that across the bbc but that is your sport. i was not expecting to hear that phrase in sport. random is the word. thank you. we will speak to you later. an inquiry into the uk's biggest health scandal will release its final report next week. more than 30,000 people in the uk were infected with hiv and hepatitis c after being given contaminated blood products by the national health service in the 19705, �*805 and �*905. in total, 3,000 people died. it's been described as the biggest treatment disaster in the history of the nhs. victims and their families have spent decades fighting for compensation.

our correspondent sophie long has been speaking to some of those affected. i found out in 2017, ifound out in 2017, and i found out in 2017, and that was through my doctor. my liverfunction wasn't very good, so he insisted i had a hepatitis c blood test. so he tested me and it came back that i had hep c. so i was so shocked. there was a problem with my liver and also _ there was a problem with my liver and also further tests and eventually i was told that i had contracted hepatitis c. both eventually i was told that i had contracted hepatitis c. both liz and dena were given _ contracted hepatitis c. both liz and dena were given blood _ contracted hepatitis c. both liz andj dena were given blood transfusions after giving birth. it would be decades before they learned the blood they had been given was contaminated with hepatitis c. it is undetectable _ contaminated with hepatitis c. it 3 undetectable at the minute, but it has left me with various health conditions, the worst one being

mark, nick also developed hepatitis c and hiv after receiving treatment for haemophilia. nick campaigned to find out why children had been given contaminated blood products. he gave evidence during the six—year investigation into the scandal. he didn't live to hear its findings. even though in his last few years he was in a wheelchair most of the time, he would definitely have got to the hearing on may 20 no matter what. itjust has become so sad because we are thinking nick would have liked to have heard this, and obviously, he is not here to do that, and it isjust something obviously, he is not here to do that, and it is just something that we are trying to come to terms with ourselves. , ., , we are trying to come to terms with ourselves. , . , ., ., ourselves. these are “ust a few of the thousands h ourselves. these are “ust a few of the thousands of _ ourselves. these are just a few of the thousands of people - ourselves. these are just a few of| the thousands of people impacted ourselves. these are just a few of. the thousands of people impacted by the thousands of people impacted by the contaminated blood scandal. tomorrow, many of them will travel to westminster in the hope of finally finding some form of justice. sophie long, bbc news.

atjust after 8:30, we'll be speaking to a lawyer who represents more than 300 people affected by the infected blood scandal. it isa it is a little later. we'll be back with the headlines at 7:00, but now it's time for the travel show. coming up on this week's show... it looks like a flotation device. it does! you could probably get into that. here we go. | bon appetit. skibbereen! - thank you so much. so, i can taste the kind of familiarity, and then i'm waiting for the alcohol, but it hasn't arrived. it's like wine light.

now, one thing that gets most of us excited when planning a trip is the chance to tuck into tasty, authentic dishes from other parts of the globe, from traditional delicacies to spicy street food, and even maybe michelin—starred menus from some of the most celebrated chefs on the planet. well, this week we've got a feast for your eyes, with a menu full of some of our favourite travel show foodie adventures. for starters, let's look back at that time i headed to glasgow, in scotland, on a culinary quest to find the story behind britain's most popular dish — and it's not what you maybe think it is. glasgow is often voted the world's friendliest city, and locals pride themselves on their good cheer, good humour and chattiness. it's one reason that generations of immigrants

from all over the world have decided to call glasgow home. and it's here where britain's most popular dish was born — and it is not fish and chips. this is chicken tikka masala. it's boneless chunks of chicken marinated in a sauce of tomato and cream, and it has this fantastic orange colour because of the spice mix. mm. you can get the dish all over the city. but according to local legend, the original chicken tikka masala was created here at the shish mahal restaurant in the 19705. every day the chef marinates 30kg of chicken, and roasts up to 400 skewers in his tandoor. this is our secret sauce. you can taste it. all right, here we go. mm. that's got some kick to it. have you ever told anyone outside of the restaurant what's inside?

no. well, he's staying tight lipped. so i head over to the dining room to meet with ali asif. this is my dad with... asif�*s father, sadly, passed away in december, but his legacy lives on through the family restaurant, where in the early 19705 he's reputed to have created the world's first tikka masala. it all started when a grumpy bus driver complained that his chicken was too dry. asif�*s dad needed a quick fix, so he grabbed a can of tomato soup that he'd already opened. dad put the tomato soup into the curry, heated it up and served it, and the customer loved it. the customer asked, "what is this called?" "tikka masala. " because it's the most generic name he could think. so, these days you can get tikka masala as a pizza topping, frozen at the grocery store, as a takeaway. what do you make of everyone copying your dad's recipe? he said people enjoying food is more important than where it came from or who invented it.

he used to say he was born in pakistan, but he was made in glasgow. like any legendary dish, the origins of the chicken tikka masala are disputed — but asif�*s dad remains a local hero anyway. he was part of a wave of people from pakistan, india and current—day bangladesh who came to scotland in the 19505 when the uk faced a labour shortage. but rather than returning to their home country after five years, as was so often the plan, many families decided to stay. and today, more than 60,000 people of south asian descent live here and in the surrounding area. we're off to meet the comedian, sanjeev kohli, at one of his favourite spots in the city. sanjeev, i hope you don't mind. i took the liberty of getting a little snack — the paper dosa. 0k...! not so little. i feel like i should wear this. it looks like a flotation device. it does. . .! you could probably get into that.

scotland in the winter, it's a bit like finland. you need your comfort food. it's freezing. it's been dark for seven hours. sushi ain't going to cut it. it's got to be comfort food. and the thing about indian food, it is comforting, like a big fluffy naan bread, like a pillow, you know what i mean? or pakora. it'sjust all there. all the salt, all the fat, all the stuff. indian food is the most popular food in scotland. anywhere you see fish and chips, you can see curry. that's how integrated, certainly, the cuisine is. and i've always thought that the cuisine, the story of the cuisine reflects the story of the people, if you know what i mean? glasgow is curry and curry in glasgow. a mouthwatering memory from scotland. and i don't need to be asked twice if there are any more trips like that one. next up, we're crossing the sea to ireland — a country that in recent years has undergone a bit of a gastronomic renaissance.

kate hardie—buckley returned to her home county, now the country's top foodie destination, to tuck in. kate: welcome to west cork. this is the mizen peninsula, the most southwesterly tip of the island of ireland. i've been coming to this part of the world since i was eight years old. people are drawn here by the dramatic scenery, the arts and the great craic — and now, they're flocking here for the local cuisine. west cork was recently voted ireland's food capital. the history of the area is as rich and diverse as its food. along the coast, you'll find caves where pirates smuggled their treasures. it's where marconi sent the first transatlantic radio transmission to america. and it was here the first famine death was recorded,

the first of over a million across ireland, with a further two million people emigrating. so, this is the skibbereen saturday market. at the height of summer, i think maybe the best market anywhere in the country. this is the freshest mozzarella available in ireland right now. it's like lactic poetry. april makes the most astonishing potions. slainte. when we think of vinegars, we think of something that's harsh and aggressive — and that's gentle. obviously, i can taste the apple... mm—hm. ..but there's like a berry taste to it, or something like that? maybe even the whiskey. you'll taste the whiskey. | the whiskey! they laugh bit early for the whiskey. yeah. the skibbereen market continues to slowly but organically grow and get better. people, i think, are really realising more and more that the essence of a real

experience is when it's grounded in local foods. and that's what you want, whether you're in bangkok, or tuscany, or in west cork. here we go. bon appetit. skibbereen! thank you so much. wow. it's a real west cork burger. i've come to meet the fergusons, who run gubbeen — one of the original irish cheese farm houses here — and they play a huge role on the west cork food scene. giana and herfamily have been making their award—winning cheese for the last 40 years. and is this sort of where you begin creating the flavours and the texture? in a way. although i think the real start of this story is the soil. and of course, the big flavour is once the cheeses are made and they start to ferment. this is heavier than you'd think. oh, my goodness. this smells incredible! there you are,

the finished products. i think if you're in new york, or if you're in paris, or wherever we export to, and you come across this, what you're going to feel, or smell, is west cork. that's what i love about this. giana's children are the latest generation working the land. fingal makes the charcuteries with over 100 different products. the fergusons, and other west cork food makers, account for 75% of artisan producers across the country. in west cork, not only do you get to taste great food, but you also get the chance to find and explore new ingredients. it's beautiful down here. here we go. jim and maria kennedy run sea kayaking trips all along the coast, where you get to forage for your own food. out on the atlantic...

..looking for dinner. and we don't have to look far. when you start to investigate, they become like friends. you just see, "oh, there, look, there's the oarweed "coming up and over here, the sea spaghetti." it's absolutely amazing. for ireland's coastal communities, seaweed has long been a staple food. it has everything you need — it has minerals, it has vitamins. all the b vitamins that we spend, you know, 20, 30 euros buying across the shelf, it's all in here. there's a seal over there also looking for his dinner. hello, buddy. so, what is on my seaweed board? we have some dillisk, or dulse. carrageenan, another traditional favourite. we have seagrass, beautiful green, also known as spirulina. i recognise that one. mm—hm. and then for something completely different,

the queen of all seaweeds — or maybe the king — pepper dulse. the truffle of the sea. that's extraordinary. mm. peppery... such a bite to it, such a kick. what's most striking is the diversity under the kayak. different shapes, forms, textures, colours. it's quite extraordinary. even in the famine, people ate seaweed. but i think then, it became associated with poverty and hunger. and now people are beginning to rediscover the amazing properties of seaweed. well, next on the menu, we're heading over to vancouver, in canada, a city that's frequently named as one of the best food destinations in the world. but it's not all michelin—starred

restaurants and high—end dining. the culinary scene has been broadening out to reflect some, up until now, less well known and diverse dishes. we sent eva to try one of them. eva: you might have heard about poutine. it's canada's unofficial national dish, kind of like what pierogies are to poland or what the burger is to the united states. this comforting, salty dish is made up of chips, cheese, curds and gravy. but this is not a piece about poutine. in fact, it can be quite hard to find authentic poutine out here on the west coast. it comes from quebec in the east. here in vancouver, there is another dish that you should know about.

hi! hello. hi. my name is paul natrall. i'm mr bannock. paul — or mr bannock — is a member of the squamish nation. he lives on one of the three first nation territories here in vancouver city. he owns the only indigenous food truck in vancouver, and his specialty, bannock — a staple in first nation cuisine. oh, awesome! that's a mr bannock apron, isn't it? yes, ma'am. wonderful. let me put this on. bannock is pretty simple. it's sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and water. not too dissimilar from an english scone. the word �*bannock�* itself is scottish, so there's always a huge debate if bannock is indigenous. every community and every nation has a type of flatbread, and as stuff evolves and indigenous food evolves we have baking powder,

salt, sugar, and now we have these huge fluffy bannocks. for me, its huge to be able to have my kids watch and learn what i do, just because our food culture has been missing for so long, you know, through all the trauma that we have. i'm keen to sample paul's modern take. well, these just look so delicious. golden, fluffy... should i? should i do it? yeah, do it. mmm. and then the fluffiness. so delicious. mm—hm. they�* re fluffy. they're, like, the perfect combination of fluffy and crispy. nice. mm—hm. hopefully, soon there will be more places to try indigenous food in vancouver. but, for now, bannock doesn't seem like a bad place to start. william lee adams: eva zu beck in canada, getting stuck into a first nations feast. and from canada let's hop over

to the us, where new york has long been dubbed �*the city that never sleeps'. a place where you can get anything, from a burger to beluga, at any time, day or night. but, post—pandemic, is the city's food scene still open all hours? we sent kim davis to one of the city's most famous diners to see if they're still cooking right around the clock. jazz music as a native new yorker, i know a thing or two about nightlife in this city. now, any good night out starts with food, and where better to fill up than at one of manhattan's most iconic delis? it is so busy here. i have to figure out what i want really quick because if you don't know what you want you're going to get shoved out of the way and people are going tojump in right ahead of you. the first thing i'd recommend is... they give you a ticket and the ticket gets you in.

where is your ticket? i don't have one. i walked in without getting one. hello. you can use it to pay and to walk out. to pay and to walk out? hi there. can i please get a pastrami sandwich? delis and diners are part of the fabric of the city, catering to hunger pangs at all hours. hi, here's your pastrami. oh, my gosh. thank you. enjoy. this is gigantic! this is nothing. i love that. "it's nothin'." he laughs "nothin'!" listen, food and nightlife go hand in hand, right. right? we struggled a little bit during the pandemic, as did everyone in the world, literally. and we got lucky. customers still supported us. our regulars took care of us. and that's what it means to be in business for 135 years and five generations. but not all have been lucky. many have closed their doors permanently. the numbers employed in the restaurant scene have shrunk by 35,000 since the pandemic.

and for those that survived, it's been a challenge. there was a lot of trial and error and bars in the neighbourhood were going through similar sets of questions. and so we didn't start 24 hours right away because they also weren't staying open till 4am like they used to. but kind of hand—in—hand, lockstep, the bar scene, the nightlife scene, food scene, all coming back with a real vengeance. what do you think? it's good, right? wow _ she laughs kim davis there taking a bite out of the big apple. and after all that food, what could be better than a glass of wine to round things off? so we'll leave you with ade in paris, where there's been something of a revolution with the country's favourite tipple, meaning that those dreaded hangovers could maybe become a thing of the past. we'll see you all again next week. but in the meantime here's ade to tell you more. cheers!

whether you're mad for merlot or salivate over a sauvignon blanc, the city of love swoons for a glass of wine. as other countries have music orfashion, in france you'll see a glass of wine on each table in any bistro or michelin—star restaurant. i mean, there are paintings about wine. they fought wars about wine. so it's worth 25 billion euros a year to the french economy, and then there were 5.5 billion bottles produced in france last year. but as bars and restaurants all over the world shut their doors, the pandemic forced loads of us to reassess our relationship with booze and explore more non—alcoholic alternatives. international sales of non—alcoholic drinks have shot up by a quarter. but in france the growth has been slower — reportedly, just 4% in the same period.

so how do parisians feel about alcohol—free wine? i've never tried it. i like wine, regular wine. i'm used to that. i think we're losing something. you want to feel... he clicks his tongue ..the taste. it's not as fun either. one man hoping to transform french attitudes is augustin. hello, ade. last year, he set out what he says is paris's first shop entirely devoted to non—alcoholic drinks. do you get any snobbery? do you get people who come in and when they hear there's no alcohol, they're like, "what? what is this? !" yeah. at the beginning, some people were kind of making fun orjust laughing when they entered. but then for us it's not against alcohol because most of our customers, they are what we call flexi—drinkers. so they keep drinking alcohol, but they also, from time to time, want to have a break. of course, you have all the pregnant women, the muslim people

who never drink alcohol. actually, it came from my own story because i quit drinking during the pandemic. i don't like soda, i don't like very sweet beverages, so i was looking for other options. he's far from the first person to ride this trend. a few rounds of alcohol—free bars have opened up over the past few years all across the world, from 0% tokyo to sans bar in texas, to the virgin mary in dublin. along with spirits and beers, augustin stocks two kinds of alcohol—free wine. the first is de—alcoholised. it's fermented like a traditional wine before the alcohol is then removed. you'll see the smell is close, but then the length in the mouth is different. you know what? that's so interesting. so i can taste the kind of familiarity, and then i'm waiting for the alcohol. but it hasn't arrived.

it's like wine—lite. the second kind doesn't involve fermentation, and it's more like a poshjuice. and this one is very good if you eat it with your meat or pasta. we've picked a particularly potent one made from... ..beetroot. it's busy. i don't think i'm ready for this one yet. but this is exactly what we see with our customers. so now they are more looking into substitutes, so beer or de—alcoholised wine. and we know in some years they may look more for new recipes and new techniques and everything. but are parisians ready to embrace this new gastronomic experience? there's only one way for me to find out. excusez—moi, excusez—moi. s'il vous plait? would you like to try some non—alcoholic wine?

it's good, actually. i like it. i don't like it. i don't think it tastes like wine. no, it's sweeter, i think. - oh. it's actually good. you like it? yes. wow. that's the de—alcoholised wine. now for the beetroot... not in my case. oh, it's more... more acidic? ..acid. .. yes. more acidic. rt-s. um... — this one is a better one than that. and whether they like the wines or not, most of the parisians we spoke to were at least open to alcohol—free alternatives. yes, because i'm not fond of alcohol. i prefer the taste. so for you, it's just finding something that has the right taste? yes. and then it'll be a winner? yeah.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and luxmy gopal. our headlines today: a huge increase in demand for hepatitis c tests in england after the bbc revealed more than 1,000 people were unknowingly infected with the virus. defeat for tyson fury: the british boxer has failed in his attempt to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 25 years, beaten by ukrainian oleksandr usyk. i was having a lot of fun actually. i don't know if it looked like,

but i was playing around, hands behind my back. i was enjoying it. abandoned and isolated: that's how some children with eating disorders say they feel after being sent hundreds of miles away from their families for treatment. it is upsetting to know there is nothing nearby. why isn't there something? i know there is something close to us but they don't have a place for her. iam i am live in central italy where preparations are under way for commemorations of the 80th anniversary for the battle for monte cassino. good morning. the last day of the premier league, and the title is still to be decided. manchester city are on course to be champions for the fourth year in a row, but a slip—up will mean arsenal lift the trophy. warm, sunny conditions set to develop quite widely across the uk today, some fog lingering around the coast and one or two isolated showers. i'll have the full forecast

details here on breakfast. it's sunday may 19. our main story: there's been a spike in demand for hepatitis c tests in england since bbc news revealed that more than 1,700 people were unknowingly infected with the virus after receiving contaminated blood transfusions decades ago. tomorrow, the long—awaited report into what's been described as the biggest treatment disaster in the history of the nhs will be published. our health editor hugh pym has more. a home testing kit for hepatitis c — thousands were infected with the virus after blood transfusions dating back to the 19705, and bbc news analysis showed that more than 1,700 have the virus and still don't know it. demand for hepatitis c test kits in england has soared since our story began. more than 12,800 kit were ordered between thursday may 9

and friday may 17. that compares with 2,300 for the whole of april — close to the monthly average, and a charity helpline has been very busy. i think the huge increase in call numbers that we've seen that the hepatitis c trust clearly demonstrates that a lot more people, for the very first time, are aware about inflected blood within the nhs blood supply, and obviously that's an amazing thing — if we can find those estimated 1,700 people or even a small proportion of them and we can save some lives, that's an amazing thing that's been achieved. hep c can develop with minimum symptoms. if left undetected, it can cause cirrhosis of the liver and cancer. the kits can be ordered online in england and tests can be arranged at gp surgeries in the uk's other nations. effective treatment is available. the enquiry has examined why transfusions with blood inflected with hep c continued after the virus

was identified in the late 19805. bbc news revealed that government attempts to trace patients and test them were half—hearted. another key issue is the use of products for haemophiliacs contaminated with hiv and hep c, made from blood obtained by paid donors, including prisons in the united states. after opening in september 2018, the final report of the enquiry chaired by sir brian langstaff will be published tomorrow. he's already said there were wrongs done at individual and systemic levels. a government spokesperson said it was an appalling tragedy that never should have happened, and there were plans to set up a new compensation scheme. hugh pym, bbc news. if you know, or even think you might have had a blood transfusion in the �*705, �*80 or �*905 and have any concerns about your health, then you can request a free nhs hepatitis c test online in england. in wales, scotland and northern ireland,

you can request one by contacting your gp. let's have a look at some of the other day's news now. then, you are starting with what has happened in boxing. yes, thank you very much. —— ben. tyson fury has failed in his attempt to become the first undisputed heavyweight boxing champion in almost 25 years. he lost the unification title fight in saudi arabia on a split decision to the ukrainian oleksandr usyk. our sports reporter ade adedoyin was ringside. oleksandr usyk on top of the world. tyson fury the self—styled gypsy king dethroned. a fight for the ages which started off as a bit of a cat—and—mouse affair. both had some early success, fury clearly enjoying himself, showboating as he began to find a target and take control of the contest. he looked like a man in cruise control, navigating his way to another victory until this massive momentum shift in round 9. fury rocked to his boots

and almost wilted under an incredible barrage of punches. battered from pillar to post, he looked out on his feet but was saved by the bell. he showed great resilience to go the distance, but the night belonged to usyk and ukraine. so, oleksandr usyk made history in that ring. an undisputed cruiserweight champion, he's now done the same in the heavyweights, a performance that will seal his place as one of the greatest of all time. nine months i work. i missed birthdays, my son. i missed birthday...my son too. i missed birthday, my daughter. i missed born, my daughter. all time, training, training, training. my focus was only this fight. now...i am happy. it was what it was.

i'm not going to cry about spilt milk. i've had plenty of victories and i've gave god the glory. i've had this one loss with a close fight, you know, with a good man like usyk. and it was what it was. i tried my best in there. i was having a lot of fun, actually. i don't know if it looked like it, but i was playing around, hands behind my back, i was enjoying it. you know, he's a good fighter, oleksandr, _ and i was catching him and he was catching me, and it was a good fight. so i hope you guys enjoyed it as much as i did. it was brilliant and brutal. there is a rematch clause in the contract, so their rivalry may not be overjust yet. ade adedoyin, bbc news, riyadh. the israeli military says it has recovered the body of a fourth hostage taken inside gaza by hamas on october 7. the army confirmed that 53—year—old ron benjamin was found alongside the bodies of three other hostages whose identities were confirmed on friday. our correspondent danjohnson joins us from jerusalem now. dan, this is tragic news for all the familes involved?

yes, and another sad development and confirmation that they are fourth israeli hostage body was returned from gaza by the israeli military in the last few days. ron benjamin was 53, he had been cycling on the saturday morning in the south of israel when hamas fighters launched their attack. we believe he was killed in that attack on his body was taken back to gaza. the prospect had been that there was no chance of recovering him back to israel alive, but his family does now have his body. it has been declared as eradicating hamas and returning hostages and is sadly only so far delivering bodies back to families, that there have been no live hostages returned from gaza for many weeks now. that means the questions are opening up in the top of israeli politics about whether this military

strategy is successful, whether it is achievable. we know idf soldiers have gone fighting back in areas in the north of gaza where hamas have appeared, where areas were declared safe. there are growing questions in the political war cabinet here. we have against challenging benjamin netanyahu to lay out a clear plan of how the military strategy will evolve and what the future for gaza's people and infrastructure will be. he challenges that if the plan is not laid out in the next three weeks, he will resign, he will pull down the governing coalition which he supports. we have the national security advisor from the us in israel today, making the same point to benjamin netanyahu. so this is another sad development in terms of voltage situation and their families but it also illustrates how difficult the military strategy and the politics here is in israel with benjamin netanyahu digging in an increasingly looking isolated. {liiq increasingly looking isolated. ok, for now, thank _ increasingly looking isolated. ok, for now, thank you. danjohnson live injerusalem. thank you.

an extensive search operation is continuing this morning after two teenagers got into difficulty in the river tyne in northumberland. the boys went into the water near to ovingham bridge yesterday afternoon and multiple emergency service crews were deployed to the scene. police have asked the public to stay away from the area. one of ireland's leading business figures, tony o'reilly, has died at the age of 88. he played international rugby before going on to lead the independent news and media group and becoming chairman of heinz. his family say he will be remembered for his extraordinary achievements and philanthropy. the northern ireland secretary, chris heaton—harris, has announced he will stand down as an mp at the next general election. more than 100 mp5 have said they won't be seeking re—election. most are conservatives. commemorations are being held in italy to mark 80 years —— thousands of people in devon who were having to boil their water

due to a parasite outbreak are being told they no longer have to. south west water has now given most homes the all—clear after many people suffered from sickness and diarrhoea. our reporter ben woolvin is in devon. ben, what is the latest advice? the beach where we are this morning is in the area where people are now being told that the water is safe to drink again, but if you had a few miles in that direction, you come to the area where there are still 2500 properties in an area where they are being told they still need to boil their water, and it is not clearfor how much longer that will be necessary. the investigations by the water company did involve two separate water tanks in the exim area. yesterday they said they were satisfied that one of those water tanks and the network it served was safe —— brixham. they say investigations of the second water tank remain ongoing. that water tank

was fully drained the night before last and it was orally cleaned yesterday. south west water says that it needs to do further investigation to rule out any further possible sources of contamination. while those investigation works continue, though 3500 customers are being told that they do need to still keep boiling their water. they do need to still keep boiling theirwater. businesses they do need to still keep boiling their water. businesses are concerned that in terms of public perception, the damage to their trade may have already been done, and their message is that this area is still very much open for business, and while precautions are being taken, it is very much safe to visit. ., ., ., ., , ., visit. then, good to have you there. a reporter — visit. then, good to have you there. a reporter in — visit. then, good to have you there. a reporter in devon _ visit. then, good to have you there. a reporter in devon this _ visit. then, good to have you there. a reporter in devon this morning. i a reporter in devon this morning. thank you. bad weather is hampering rescue efforts in southern brazil where flooding has left vast areas underwater. at least 150 people have died and 600,000 residents have been forced to leave their homes since the storms hit the area three weeks ago. our south america correspondent

ione wells has this report. the roads that connect these cities, these cities that hold people's homes, some now entirely underwater. helicopters are the only way to reach some people who need help. this woman had a stroke, but ambulances would not be able to get her to hospital in time. she lives near a lake that has followed the surrounding roads. —— flooded. even by helicopter, we arrive hours later than needed after a stroke. these rescues are not without their risks. as we fly back, the weather turns bad. visibility is poor. rescue flights are called off for the day. the aim is to get people to safety. about 6,000 people are now living in this university sports hall that has been converted into a shelter. people here are coming to terms with having lost everything. they don't know when they'll be able to return home, if they'll have a home to go back to,

and some are fearful about going back to a place that they worry could flood again. albertina is here with her husband, sons and grandchildren after being rescued from theirflooded home. translation: 50 helicopters passed by and none of them stopped. - then it started to rain. my son, who is here, he was at the window, shouting that his father was old and couldn't walk, and then a boat came and picked us up. i came with just these clothes on my body. i was very sad, really sad. i didn't even sleep five nights. but after i saw that, it seems like everyone is going to help us. so i think i'm not worried anymore. i really not. hope is what albertina holds on to. hope of soon returning home. looking down on herflooded city that seems a distant prospect. ione wells, bbc news in porto alegre, brazil.

destroyed. five vehicles in the last year crushed after they were used for fly—tipping. year crushed after they were used forfly—tipping. but not year crushed after they were used for fly—tipping. but not every vehicle ends up in the scrapheap. some are now being repurposed and reused. this some are now being repurposed and reused. , . ., , , ., , some are now being repurposed and reused. , . . , , ., , ., reused. this vehicle was seized as a result of the — reused. this vehicle was seized as a result of the biggest _ reused. this vehicle was seized as a result of the biggest liked _ reused. this vehicle was seized as a result of the biggest liked if - reused. this vehicle was seized as a result of the biggest liked if we i result of the biggest liked if we have ever seen in middlesborough. bi have ever seen in middlesborough. 61 tons of waste dump close to my children's nursery. last year they were given a nine—month suspended prison sentence, now every day his mantle was the town, warning light up mantle was the town, warning light up as they will be caught and prosecuted. it up as they will be caught and prosecuted-— up as they will be caught and rosecuted. , ., , ,., prosecuted. it is really powerful. somebody _ prosecuted. it is really powerful. somebody losing _ prosecuted. it is really powerful. somebody losing their _ prosecuted. it is really powerful. somebody losing their vehicle i prosecuted. it is really powerful. somebody losing their vehicle is | somebody losing their vehicle is ultimately going to dent their livelihood. they are running businesses from using bands like this. you take that away, it creates a real impact on their operations. you lose your business, your vehicle, you end up with a criminal record. , , , , ., , vehicle, you end up with a criminal record. , ,, , , record. fly-tipping is a big problem in the town- — record. fly-tipping is a big problem in the town. over— record. fly-tipping is a big problem in the town. over the _ record. fly-tipping is a big problem in the town. over the last - record. fly-tipping is a big problem in the town. over the last few i in the town. over the last few months, they have received 5500

organisation clean up britain. john, good morning to you. middlesborough they are going quite drastic, crushing the cars of anyone caught fly—tipping. how will this work in practice? is it three strikes and you are out or first offence the van is gone? i don't know the exact _ offence the van is gone? i don't know the exact detail— offence the van is gone? i don't know the exact detail by - offence the van is gone? i don't know the exact detail by what i | know the exact detail by what i can say is i think middlesborough councils be commended for doing that because we really do need to send as a country a very strong message to fly dippers that they will be caught and they will be dealt with severely —— fly tippers. we are happy with vehicles being seized and crushed store sold to pay for the huge cost of clean—ups. store sold to pay for the huge cost of clean-ups— store sold to pay for the huge cost of clean-u s. �* ~ ., ., , of clean-ups. and we know what being a roblem of clean-ups. and we know what being a problem it — of clean-ups. and we know what being a problem it is— of clean-ups. and we know what being a problem it is and _ of clean-ups. and we know what being a problem it is and how _ of clean-ups. and we know what being a problem it is and how much - of clean-ups. and we know what being a problem it is and how much of i of clean-ups. and we know what being a problem it is and how much of a i a problem it is and how much of a blight it is on communities, logically of course people like farmers, we have thought about them before because it is private land, they are in charge of getting rid of it, not counsel. i ask you about the details because the hardest bit of

fly—tipping is finding out who did it. fly-tipping is finding out who did it. , , , , . it. yes, it is very difficult indeed and ou it. yes, it is very difficult indeed and you have — it. yes, it is very difficult indeed and you have to _ it. yes, it is very difficult indeed and you have to provide - it. yes, it is very difficult indeed i and you have to provide evidence, which usually involves video evidence. there are a couple of counsellors who are really leading the way here and trailblazing, one of them being bucks counsel who have been very successful at actually adapting innovative ways to catch fly tippers and to prosecute and get them convicted —— buckingham shire. the result is there. we would also say that in addition to compensating people's, fly tippers's vehicles, they need to get severe fines and we would like to see people who are doing fly—tipping for commercial reasons get a minimum fine of £10,000 and also be and for 12 months, because actually it is a very lucrative trade, and although they're there, have been confiscated, nevertheless they can easily buy another one and off they go again. it will be more difficult if they are banned from driving for

12 months. in if they are banned from driving for 12 months. , ., if they are banned from driving for 12 months-— if they are banned from driving for 12 months. , ., ., ' . 12 months. in terms of how effective the vehicle confiscation _ 12 months. in terms of how effective the vehicle confiscation is _ 12 months. in terms of how effective the vehicle confiscation is as - 12 months. in terms of how effective the vehicle confiscation is as a i the vehicle confiscation is as a deterrent, as you say, you are calling for more punitive financial measures, because isn't that potentially more effective, because of course it is very symbolic, isn't it, confiscating the van, but in terms of how effective it is, doesn't have any more weight than a fine? ., , doesn't have any more weight than a fine? . , ,_ .., fine? certainly, it is symbolic and it will disrupt _ fine? certainly, it is symbolic and it will disrupt their _ fine? certainly, it is symbolic and it will disrupt their business, i fine? certainly, it is symbolic and it will disrupt their business, but| it will disrupt their business, but it will disrupt their business, but it is just not enough in itself. i grieve credit again to middlesborough council who deserve credit for what they are doing and we want to see other councils like middlesborough and buckinghamshire doing that because we need to make a huge deterrent to fly—tipping in this country and that is to hurt people in their pockets. we would like to see a £10,000 fine for anyone caught fly—tipping in connection with a business and their vehicle confiscated, seized and also

banned from driving for 12 months. this is the sort of hard—line approach will actually start making approach will actually start making a difference because we are dealing with human behaviour here. if the cost benefit ratio starts going against them, they think this is a serious problem if i get caught and they might start thinking twice about it. we really have to get up on it and i would like to see all councils adopting the sort of measures that i have outlined. is it prevention — measures that i have outlined. is it prevention better? it is about stopping people choosing these people to get rid of their rubbish and making it easierfor people people to get rid of their rubbish and making it easier for people to get rid of stuff themselves, that is often the robin for some councils. where do you take stuff you want to get rid of? it where do you take stuff you want to net rid of? , , ., get rid of? it is sometimes an issue, get rid of? it is sometimes an issue. but _ get rid of? it is sometimes an issue, but one _ get rid of? it is sometimes an issue, but one thing - get rid of? it is sometimes an issue, but one thing i - get rid of? it is sometimes an issue, but one thing i would i get rid of? it is sometimes an i issue, but one thing i would say is householders, people who have ways that might be doing diy or something, they have a duty of care as well and they must make sure that the waste they are hanging onto, so—called waste carriers who are responsible, they need to check that the people they are giving their waste to our serious regulated

people that can dispose of the ways properly. that is a problem. the final thing i would say is another thing that would make a huge difference in returns —— in terms of reducing fly tipping, is if the government introduced digital payments for fly—tipping only, government introduced digital payments forfly—tipping only, no more cash payments because cash can't be traced, apple pay and visa can't be traced, apple pay and visa can be traced and it would be a lot easier to trace down the people currently destroying our country. good advice, john. thank you. good to have you with us this morning. now it is time to have a look at sport's news. good morning, jane. not a good night for tyson fury. it was a cracking fight between tyson fury and the ukrainian oleksandr usyk. it was a points decision so it was really close and it was tyson fury who missed out. last night, tyson fury was defeated by oleksandr usyk, who became boxing's first four—belt undisputed heavyweight champion. we're joined now by boxing pundit steve bunce, who is in riyadh.

he was obviously watching last night. fury was adamant that he thought he had one after the match, a few ugly moments. what was your thinking after watching that particularly seeing the ninth? taste particularly seeing the ninth? we will aet particularly seeing the ninth? - will get to the 19 a second if we can. fury didn't think he had one, but he said i am a fighting man, i will take it. two of thejudges but he said i am a fighting man, i will take it. two of the judges only separated them by one round. that shows it was a tight fight and it was a tight fight. had usyk lost, he wouldn't have screamed. everyone lost and he didn't scream. he might change a narrative voice, that is the way it works. as for the ninth round, that is one of the all—time great heavyweight rounds because in around round six, usyk was trailing by a couple of points and clawed his way back and in the ninth round, hit tyson fury, and i will use an expression, now i finally know what

it means, he was hit from pillar to post. tyson fury�*s hit every single side of the ring and absolutely ridiculous 40 or 52nd sequence that resulted in in boxing it constitutes a knockdown. it wasn't a fight for the aged, and i was there, i was eight feet away from us. that is privileged. i eight feet away from us. that is privileged-— privileged. i think we are all 'ealous privileged. i think we are all jealous of— privileged. i think we are all jealous of you. _ privileged. i think we are all jealous of you. after - privileged. i think we are all. jealous of you. after watching privileged. i think we are all- jealous of you. after watching that fight. it was an incredible achievement usyk who many would agree is a very technically gifted boxer. do you feel he has been a worthy recipient of this title of undisputed heavyweight champion of the world that you might absolutely i do, and what he had to do during last night's 36 minutes was parked a lot of the science, part of the wizardry and just digging his toes into that canvas and just quit down on his teeth. taste into that canvas and 'ust quit down on his adah into that canvas and 'ust quit down on his teethh into that canvas and 'ust quit down on his teeth. we could see him, his teeth protector. _ on his teeth. we could see him, his teeth protector, see _ on his teeth. we could see him, his teeth protector, see him _ on his teeth. we could see him, his teeth protector, see him gripping i teeth protector, see him gripping down, biting down on biting and

slugging it out. the person who believes he is a worthy recipient of being called the under heavyweight champion of the world is a man called lennox lewis. in 1999, he won the title in a place called paradise and since then he has had that title, somewhere in the ring in the melee there were hundreds in there, loads of ukrainian flags, lots of emotion in there, all sorts of chaos, somewhere in there, lennox lewis held alexander using on the shoulder and that was the passing of the undisputed belt —— oleksandr usyk. it the undisputed belt -- oleksandr us k. . , the undisputed belt -- oleksandr us k. ., , ., the undisputed belt -- oleksandr us k. . , ., , ., ., , usyk. it was a first defeat for fury in 16 years- _ usyk. it was a first defeat for fury in 16 years. has _ usyk. it was a first defeat for fury in 16 years. has a _ usyk. it was a first defeat for fury in 16 years. has a shaken - usyk. it was a first defeat for fury in 16 years. has a shaken him? i in 16 years. has a shaken him? already we are talking about the rematch clause this remark absolutely, the rematch clause has been invoked before we left the ring, and the way that works is the loser of last night's fight, as per contract, at the right to invoke the rematch clause.— rematch clause. tyson fury absolutely _ rematch clause. tyson fury absolutely did _ rematch clause. tyson fury absolutely did that - rematch clause. tyson fury absolutely did that in i rematch clause. tyson fury absolutely did that in the l rematch clause. tyson fury i absolutely did that in the ring, rematch clause. tyson fury - absolutely did that in the ring, it is that simple. we will see a

we are going to have to prove again that we can be better than the opponent and win the game. yeah, we have to wish for the best, we have to wish for west ham to have a really good day and help us to fulfil our dream. that's what we're hoping for. celtic manager brendan rodgers says "it means everything" after his side were presented with the scottish premiership trophy. they'd already won the league, but they came from behind to beat st mirren 3—2 in their final game of the season. at christmas, santa claus was booed after conducting a half—time draw when they were losing a game, so he was invited back, this time bearing better gifts. it's celtic�*s third consecutive title. emma hayes says she's relieved after winning a fifth successive women's super league title with chelsea. a 6—0 thumping of manchester united on the final day of the season meant they beat manchester city to the title on goal difference. jo currie reports from old trafford.

the perfect end to a perfect glittering career. it was a fitting arena. theyjust had to match manchester city 's result and at the league title would be theirs and they shot out of the blocks. a great finish to settle the nerves. chelsea were in a ruthless mood and it very quickly became their show. when they made it 3—0, the title race now only had one horse in it. goal difference now so big, it did not matter what manchester city did, the title was heading back to southwest london. the second half is simply a

procession, enjoying moment and denting united's pride. the full—time whistle confirmed chelsea were champions once more and emma hayes would be of the newjob coaching the usa with a fifth consecutive title. i coaching the usa with a fifth consecutive title.— coaching the usa with a fifth consecutive title. i do not think i have any words. _ consecutive title. i do not think i have any words. it _ consecutive title. i do not think i have any words. it is _ consecutive title. i do not think i have any words. it is mixed - consecutive title. i do not think i have any words. it is mixed with | consecutive title. i do not think i l have any words. it is mixed with a different ton of emotions. i will not be with this team or if these fans again but they are always in my heart. ., ., ., , , heart. the end of an era finishes in ical heart. the end of an era finishes in typical anna _ heart. the end of an era finishes in typical anna hayes _ heart. the end of an era finishes in typical anna hayes fashion, - heart. the end of an era finishes in typical anna hayes fashion, an - typical anna hayes fashion, an emphatic performance and another trophy. the woman who changed english football forever bounce out a champion once again. moving day at valhalla did not disappoint with major changes on the leader board at the uspga championship. shane lowry made the biggest leap, with a major record—equalling 62. he had nine birdies in a flawless third round. the former open champion is 13—under

par, two shots behind the leaders xander schauffele and collin morikawa. lowry clearly enjoyed playing alongside his ryder cup team—mate justin rose, who shot a 64 to finish the day, one shot behind lowry, along with robert macintyre. wouldn't it be nice to see shane larry do well. fingers crossed. fingers crossed ended. thank you. we will speak to you later. we'll be back with the headlines at 8:00. now, it's time for click.

let me take you up. up into the air. up above the clouds, above the weather, above all the aircraft. this is the stratosphere — a place yet to be conquered by humankind. up here, the air is thin and calm. and it is here that you'll find the zephyr. this is a strange beast — and the fact that it flies this high is the least strange thing about it. see, it only travels at aomph, it only weighs 75kg. it's launched by hand, it's completely solar—powered — and in theory, it may be able

to stay up here for months. i was last at zephyr�*s base in farnborough in the uk in 2018, when it had just stayed aloft for very nearly 26 days. since then, it's done 64. so, this is how it works. during the day, the sun hits the solar panels, which charge the batteries and power the propellers, and the plane climbs to 75,000 feet. when the sun goes down, the batteries completely take over. the propellers do slow down and the plane does lose altitude. the trick, though, is to make sure you're still above 60,000 feet by the time the sun comes up the next morning — and the process can start again. so, will the entire wing be covered with solar cells, every single square centimetre, as much as you can in solar? actually, the solar array that we use now typically is so efficient that we don't tend to need to do complete coverage.

really? yeah, we can actually recharge the batteries most normal days by lunchtime. wow! in theory, is it possible to stay up forever in this? well, i think eventually, we'll get as close as we can to that. at the moment, our limitation is the number of cycles the batteries can cope with. so, a cycle is a day — so a full charge, and then a full discharge, that's one cycle. and we're targeting six months in the stratosphere at a time, and that's in line with the battery performance that we see coming through. so, look, i get it. i get that this plane can stay up in the air almost indefinitely. you only have to look at it to understand that it's something pretty special. the main question i have is why? from the stratosphere, at 60—70,000 feet, we can talk directly to a standard mobile phone,

so the aircraft will function exactly like the cell tower that you have today, but it's high up. and, because it's so much higher up than the regular cell tower, it can cover the equivalent of about 200 base stations on the ground. so, of course, that replaces notjust the, you know, the equipment on the tower, but it replaces the whole tower. an uplink antenna would connect the mobile network to zephyr, and then zephyr could serve an area of 7,500 square kilometres, in theory, for months at a time. this is a real proposition. or in the event of, say, a natural disaster, a plane could be flown to an area that had suddenly become cut—off from the grid. mobile operators have something called cell on wheels — cow — which is usually a truck that has some equipment. we have a cell on wings, a flying cow, which is flying cell on wings. these cows — er, planes —

will fly autonomously. there are no joysticks involved. the pilots send the planes coordinates and flight plans — but they're mainly interested in how much energy it's using, and making adjustments to keep its batteries fully charged. so this is the ground, and this is 80,000 feet. and all this colourful stuff, that's wind — you don't want to be in that — but if you can keep the zephyr above it, from about 60,000 feet and up, it's pretty plain sailing. the problem is, you've got to get to 60,000 feet in the first place — something that can take ten hours from that weird hand—launched ta ke—off. we've spent a lot of time and effort studying meteorology in the tropopause, so that we can understand how to transit through it as safely as possible with this aircraft. and we've now done a global study of where all the weather is, and all the different weather conditions around the world, and we've found some of the best locations in the world to start launching and landing these from regularly. so, where the air is nice

and clear, all the way up. all the way through, yeah, and once we're in the stratosphere, we're away. in fact, zephyr�*s parent company has just announced kenya as the location of its first planned permanent launch site. but we have seen these kind of ventures before. for example, google's loon project was also based in kenya, and its balloon—based mobile cell tower project failed to stay afloat. and what about satellites? these days, very small cubesats can be put into orbit at much lower cost than their bigger siblings — and they stay up automatically, no power involved. although, unlike zephyr, you can't bring them down and swap out their payloads. with satellite, if you want to talk to a handset, it's very difficult. and if you manage with low earth orbit satellites, you can talk to a handset, but it would be very limited. you know, it's sms, maybe a few kilobits per second, you cannot do full 56. you're not mimicking

what a terrestrial station does. and if you have satellites that are really big enough that can do something like this, the economics are so expensive — and then, you're spreading them across the whole planet, you're not getting the efficiencies, you cannot scale. so that's on the connectivity side. on the earth observation side, satellites are great because they can view anywhere on the planet, but not persistently. because they take an image, come back after a period of time. with high—altitude platform stations, you can do that persistently, so you can see the change over time. and there is competition in the stratosphere itself. similar aircraft are being developed by several companies — including this one by bae systems. whatever the final use for these so—called high—altitude platform stations — haps — there does seem to be both the appetite and now the technology to fly high and stay high.

birdsong. paul: this is the buckthorne cutting nature reserve, home to dozens of species of plants, insects, and animals. it's hard to believe it's just a few kilometres from the very centre of london, and a technology hot spot. it's a haven of calm and serenity — until this happens. love a train. the area here is based on previously unmanaged network rail land, the body responsible for most of the sprawling railway network in great britain — over 52,000 hectares.

they're using a mixture of traditional technology alongside machine learning to identify and monitor wildlife using the space here. we've got a massive estate across the whole of britain. it's 52,000 hectares which, if you squash it all together, is the isle of wight—and—a—half. and that estate, that network goes through every sort of habitat that you can possibly have. and so, we've got that biodiversity on our estate, and we can manage it and work with it whilst we're running trains. so i guess, with the kind of information that you're collecting, the research that you're doing, how is that beneficial to network rail as a company? what kind of things can you do with that information that you find out? it helps us monitor the condition of the habitats that we've got, so we can use that when we're trying to achieve our biodiversity targets. but it also lets us see what species are using those habitats. and if we know what's there before we come in and do any work, then we can start mitigating for that. we can start doing the work at the right time of year or at the right time of day, so that we're less of a disturbance on those species.

the monitoring is being carried out by zoological society of london — or zsl. they're using motion—sensing camera traps to help identify some of the animals. this is a camera trap, and we use this for monitoring wildlife. typically things that move, that are kind of larger—bodied, and that move along the ground. so we'll typically put it kind of on a tree, around this height — and there's a camera here and there's a sensor. so, if a warm—bodied animal moves past, it will trigger a number of photos. oh, look, that's us — hello! in the uk, we're using it largely for ground—dwelling mammals — so like, foxes and badgers and squirrels. as well as camera traps, the monitoring team also use specially—designed acoustic monitors to capture audio from birds, bats, and rodents. while the method of collecting the data may be relatively low—tech, what happens with it afterwards is very much cutting edge.

zsl�*s initial pilot project captured 35,000 data files — or 3,000 hours of audio — from just 33 acoustic monitors placed across network rail�*s estate in south london alone. they needed a way to efficiently analyse such large volumes of data — which is where our old friend a! comes in. zsl worked with google, using cloud storage and pre—trained machine—learning models, to identify and map species to the network rail estate. back at zsl ho, i sat down with lydia to see some of the results of the analysis. in some cases, there are some really good machine—learning models already trained — so for instance, for birds and bats, there are some excellent models out there. and essentially, they use these

spectrogram images that i'm showing you here — these are really distinctive images — they basically learn these images which are associated with these different species. the ultimate aim for this research is to understand the true scale of the biodiversity around network rail�*s 20,000km of railway corridor. and advances in technology like this make that more achievable. spencer: and that's it for the short cut of click this week — the full—length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. thanks for watching, we'll be back next week. see ya. good morning, welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and luxmy gopal.

our headlines today: a huge increase in demand for hepatitis c tests in england after the bbc revealed more than 1,000 people were unknowingly infected with the virus. defeat for tyson fury. the british boxer has failed in his attempt to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 25 years — beaten by ukrainian oleksandr usyk. i was having a lot of fun, actually. i was having a lot of fun, actually. i don't know that look like it. and the 80th anniversary of monte cassino, one of the bloodiest battles of the second world war. the last day of the premier league and the title is still to be decided.

manchester city are on course to be champions for the fourth year in a row — but a slip—up will mean arsenal lift the trophy. and warm sunny conditions that are developing quite widely across the uk today, some fog on the coast and one or two isolated showers. i will have the full details here on breakfast. it's sunday the 19th may. our main story. there's been a spike in demand for hepatitis c tests in england, since bbc news revealed that more than 1,700 people were unknowingly infected with the virus, after receiving contaminated blood transfusions decades ago. tomorrow, the long—awaited report into what's been described as the biggest treatment disaster in the history of the nhs will be published. our health editor, hugh pym, has more. a home testing kit for hepatitis c. thousands were infected with the virus after blood transfusions dating back to the 19705, and bbc news analysis

showed that more than 1,700 have the virus and still don't know it. demand for hepatitis c test kits in england has soared since our story began. more than 12,800 kits were ordered between thursday 9th may and friday 17th may. that compares with 2,300 for the whole of april, close to the monthly average. a charity helpline has been very busy. i think the huge increase in call numbers that we have seen at the hepatitis c trust clearly demonstrates that a lot more people for the very first time are aware about inflected blood in the nhs blood supply, and that is an amazing thing, if we can find those estimated 1,700 people, even a small proportion of them, and we can save some lives, that is amazing it has been achieved. hep c can develop with minimum symptoms. if left undetected, it can cause cirrhosis of the liver and cancer. kits can be ordered online in england and tests can be arranged at gp surgeries

in the uk's other nations. effective treatment is available. the inquiry has examined why transfusions with blood inflected with hep c continued after the virus was identified in the late 19805. bbc news revealed that government attempts to trace patients and test them were half—hearted. another key issue is the use of products or haemophiliacs contaminated with hiv and hepatitis c, made from blood obtained by paid donors including prisons in the united states. after opening in september 2018, the final report of the inquiry chaired by sir brian langstaff will be published tomorrow. he has already said there were wrongs done at individual and systemic levels. a government spokesperson said it was an appalling tragedy that never should have happened, and there were plans to set up a new compensation scheme. hugh pym, bbc news. if you know, or even think, you might have had a blood

transfusion in the '70s, '80 or '905 and have any concerns about your health then you can request a free nhs hepatitis c test online in england. in wales, scotland and northern ireland you can request one by contacting your gp. tyson fury has failed in his attempt to become the first undisputed heavyweight boxing champion in almost 25 years. he lost the unification title fight in saudi arabia, on a split decision, to the ukrainian, oleksandr usyk. our sports reporter ade adedoyin was ringside. oleksandr usyk on top of the world. tyson fury, the self—styled gypsy king, dethroned. a fight for the ages which started off as a bit of a cat—and—mouse affair. both had some early success, tyson fury clearly enjoying himself. showboating as he began to find a target and take control of the contest. it looked like a man in cruise

control, navigating his way to another victory. until this massive momentum shift in round nine. fury rocked to his boots and almost wilted under an incredible barrage of punches. battered from pillar to post, he looked out on his feet but was saved by the bell. he showed great resilience to go the distance, but the night belonged to usyk and ukraine. oleksandr usyk made history in that ring, an undisputed cruiserweight champion, he has now done the same at heavyweight, a performance that will seal his place as one of the greatest of all time. nine months i work, i missed birthdays, my son, i missed birthday... my son two, i missed my daughter's birthday, i missed my daughter born. all the time, training, training, training. my focus was only this fight.

now... i'm happy. it was what it was. i will not cry about spilt milk. i have plenty of victories. i have this one loss with a close fight in a good fight with ole ksandr usyk. i had a lot of fun, actually. i don't know if it looked like it, but i was playing around, hands behind my back, i was enjoying it. it was a good fight. i hope you guys enjoyed it as much as i did. it was brilliant and brutal. there is a rematch clause in the contract, so their rivalry may not be overjust yet. ade adedoyin, bbc news. the israeli military says it has recovered the body of a fourth hostage taken inside gaza by hamas on october—the—seventh. the army confirmed that 53—year—old ron benjamin was found alongside

the bodies of three other hostages whose identities were confirmed on friday. so another sad development, the confirmation that a fourth israeli hostage's body was returned from gaza by the israeli military in the last few days. ron benjamin was 53. he'd been cycling on that saturday morning in the south of israel when hamas fighters launched their attack. we believe that he was killed during that attack and that his body was taken back to gaza. so the prospect had been that there was low chance of recovering him back to israel alive. but his family does now have his body. but this underlines that israel's military strategy, which has been declared as eradicating hamas and returning

hostages, is sadly only so far. delivering bodies back to families that there have been no live hostages returned from gaza for many weeks now. and that means that the questions are opening up in the top of israeli politics about whether this military strategy is successful, whether it is achievable. we know that idf soldiers have had to go fighting back into areas in the north of gaza where hamas battalions have reappeared, having previously been cleared and declared safe. and there are growing questions in the political war cabinet here. we have benny gantz challenging the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, to lay out a clear plan of how the military strategy will evolve and what the future for gaza's people and its infrastructure will be. and he's challenged the prime minister that if that plan is not laid out in the next three weeks, he will resign. he will pull down the governing coalition which he supports. we've also got the national security adviserfrom the us in israel today making those same points to benjamin netanyahu. so this is another sad development in terms of the hostage situation and their families, but it also illustrates how difficult the military strategy and the politics here is in israel

with benjamin netanyahu digging in and increasingly looking isolated. an extensive search operation is continuing this morning after two teenagers got into difficulty in the river tyne in northumberland. the boys went into the water near to ovingham bridge yesterday afternoon and multiple emergency service crews were deployed to the scene. police have asked the public to stay away from the area. one of ireland's leading business figures, tony o'reilly, has died at the age of 88. he played international rugby before going on to lead the independent news and media group and becoming chairman of heinz. his family say he will be remembered for his extraordinary achievements and philanthropy. the northern ireland secretary, chris heaton—harris, has announced he will stand down as an mp at the next general election. more than 100 mps have said they won't be seeking re—election — most are conservatives. thousands of people in devon who were having to boil their water due to a parasite outbreak, are being told they no longer have to. south west water has now given most homes the all—clear

this is the puppy prom — which is celebrating its ten year anniversary. dressed to the nines, the pampered pooches struttted their stuff down the catwalk — accompanied by their proud owners. 'sir fritzle von vicious' was crowned king, with brad, affectionately known as b—rad, taking the title of prince. the queen's crown went to the dazzling sparkle, and cinna bella buns was named princess. iam i am always amazed at how people can get their pets to sit still.

you've been sending in pictures of your dogs all dressed this is lily. and this one is dressed as choppy. this is darcy. this is a very regal. ——chucky. there must be a whole market for this on ebay. but it is notjust dogs with fancy outfits, this is recce the rescue rooster celebrating his fourth birthday in a waistcoat. how do you get out was put onto a rooster? i once tried to put reindeer antlers onto my pet cat, did not go well, whereas ricky looks

really smart. matt, i don't know how we follow that. have you had any luck with pet dressing up? no, my dog would not have that one little bit. i thought i'd seen it all on breakfast but there is a whole new level there. what concerns me some of the names. she will never go missing, and never get lost. good morning, hope you're well and enjoy the weekend so far. this shot from shrewsbury a while ago. the fog that was in the valley starting to clean and sunshine coming out. if it has been grey there is a good chance you'll see there is a good chance you'll see the sunshine shortly. what are two exceptions with the mist and fog lingers mainly around some of the

course today it will be a fairly cool day with temperatures around 12 celsius at the highest. contrast that with blue skies and strong sunshine warms conditions likely across southern counties of england and south wales, 25 celsius possible and south wales, 25 celsius possible and this is the value we saw in glasgow yesterday afternoon. a few exceptions, we have low cloud at the moment around parts of the south—east and the home counties and that will clear quite quickly over coming hours. and it will drift off to see that continue to feed and across northern parts of scotland and north—east england. in the afternoon a chance of one or two sharp showers not the thunderstorms people saw yesterday but in between temperature of 2a or 25 degrees. the southern uplands of scotland a better chance of a storm this afternoon but very isolated and most will be dry but the course of northern ireland and

then on to the north—east of england parts of north yorkshire is where mist and sea fog could linger all day. and extent of the night rolling on shore across many areas. the odd fog pocket for the west to take into the monday morning commute but many here will be dry and clear and temperatures much like they have been through recent warnings. some of the low cloud or take a while to shift. and to the west one or two heavy showers but assist with the highest temperatures will be in 23 degrees possible. cooler along the course and many will be dry. showers few far between. a greater chance on tuesday of seeing showers develop more widely and across ireland and northern areas of england. and some longer spells of rain getting close to the south—east later in the day. temperatures done in this weekend and still pretty

warm and the strong sunshine overhead but choose start of a change. wednesday and thursday an area of low pressure will push off into the near continent waltzes. exactly how much rain we see and how quickly or move is a bit of a?. when the conditions were that and after a sunny start we will see when times and turning cooler. paula vennells, former chief executive of the post office, will speak for the first time as the inquiry into the horizon it scandal continues this week. it will be the first time vennells has spoken publicly about the scandal since she was questioned by a committee of mps nearly a decade ago. she is expected to give evidence over the course of three days, about her role as head of the post office during the last few years of the scandal.

vennells' post office career began in 2007 when she joined as a group network director. she was promoted to chief executive in 2012 and stepped down from the role in 2019 — the same year she was made a cbe for her services. injanuary this year, vennells handed back her cbe, following calls from sub—postmasters to return the honour. more than 900 sub—postmasters were prosecuted between 1999 and 2015 — and to date only 103 convictions have been overturned. one of those still waiting is former sub—postmaster keith bell, whojoins us now. we were just discussing the impact of the scandal and it is easy to get caught up in all the headlines and more evidence from paula vennells due this week but it is about individual scandals and want this

evidence is meant for people. i was convicted back _ evidence is meant for people. i was convicted back in _ evidence is meant for people. i was convicted back in 2002. _ evidence is meant for people. i was convicted back in 2002. i _ convicted back in 2002. i was initially suspended from my post office. at that point you actually locked out so i was never allowed back into that office and i lost all is of personal things and everything. eventually the bank repossessed because i was not paying my mortgage. i became bankrupt i had no work. luckily, thanks to the support of family i was able to retrain and become a driving instructor and i worked for a school motoring for about a year and then the dvla decided because i had a conviction that took away my driving licence so i then went back to square one. . the only thing i could find that this minimum wage and warehousing and that thing which i did until retirement age. i never

even watched the series when it first came out, i couldn't, and then one evening late at night i decided to watch it on catch up and ended up watching it all away through. and it was at that point i decided i needed to become part of what is going on. what was it like watching that? did you see your life? it what was it like watching that? did you see your life?— you see your life? it was unreal. the stories. _ you see your life? it was unreal. the stories, although _ you see your life? it was unreal. j the stories, although individual, are all very similar. we were all told we were the only one, that keeps recurring over and over again. but life becomes very strange. i was very lucky. i had amazing friends, and managed to keep going. find very lucky. i had amazing friends, and managed to keep going. and that su ort and managed to keep going. and that support must — and managed to keep going. and that support must have — and managed to keep going. and that support must have been _ and managed to keep going. and that support must have been invaluable i and managed to keep going. and that support must have been invaluable toj support must have been invaluable to you and so many others in your position, but like many others you have had to carry this burden for decades, how have you been able to cope with that?— cope with that? frustrating, you put it to the back _ cope with that? frustrating, you put it to the back of _ cope with that? frustrating, you put it to the back of your _ cope with that? frustrating, you put it to the back of your mind - cope with that? frustrating, you put it to the back of your mind and - cope with that? frustrating, you put it to the back of your mind and you | it to the back of your mind and you just try to get on with it on a

since hydroplane pilot donald campbell was killed in a crash on coniston water during an attempt to break the 300mph barrier. in march, campbell's craft the bluebird returned to coniston for the first time, after being lost for many years and has been attracting record crowds. rogerjohnson reports. even on a weekday morning in may bluebird draws a steady crowd. over 10,000 people coming through the doors last month. it's been people from all over the country. we even had people from different parts of the world come to see it. it has been fantastic. miriam and her husband have travelled from nottingham to see bluebird. i have read about it and seen on the tv, but to see it in real life, that is what i wanted,

see it in real life. what do you think now you've seen it? fantastic. would have loved to have a go in it. anyone old enough to remember 1967 will remember this. oh, he's... oh, god. donald campbell's fatal crash at nearly 300 miles an hour made headlines around the world. in a post—war era of swashbuckling adventurers, campbell's movie star looks and his insatiable quest for speed records on land and water had made him a household name. neal ashworth travelled to the museum from stockport. he worked for bae systems, so he knows a thing or two about engines. what they were trying to do, from an aerodynamics point of view, is really risky. the technology they had to analyse everything, they did not have any of that. a lot of it was hand calculations. now you have computer—generated stuff to help work out what is safe and what is not. nowadays this will not have got off drawing board? these guys were brave and you see

around the exhibition the risks that they have taken, it is astonishing. the scenes that greeted bluebird's return in march after she had been restored will live long in memory. more than half a century since herjet engine roared on the lake but she is putting a rocket under the local economy. it has been good for the economy. the last couple of years we have had covid, everything has been on a downturn, things seem to be picking up now. it is good for the village and the economy. there are plans for a new car park near the museum and the aspiration is to fit an engine before getting bluebird back on the water in 2026. that really will draw a crowd. sunday with laura kuenssberg is on bbc one at nine

o'clock this morning. let's find out what she has in store. this week, if it looks like an election, it sounds like an election, politicians are behaving like it's an election, well, technically, it's not yet an election, but it certainly feels like we're in the campaign. and this morning, on a busy programme, i'll bejoined by the defence secretary, grant shapps — we'll talk about ukraine. and labour's wes streeting and his new plan to give nhs staff private treatment so they can get back to work. hope to see you for that at nine o'clock over on bbc one. an inquiry into the uk's biggest health scandal will release its final report next week. more than 30,000 people in the uk were infected with hiv and hepatitis c after being given contaminated blood products by the national health service in the 19705, '805 and '90s. in total, 3,000 people died. it's been described as the biggest treatment disaster in the history of the nhs. victims and their families have spent decades fighting for compensation. our correspondent sophie long has been speaking to

i found out in 2017, and that was through my doctor. my liver function wasn't very good, so he insisted i had a hep c blood test. so he tested me for hep c, and it came back that i had hep c, so i was so shocked. there was a problem with my liver, and so further tests, and eventually i was told that i've contracted hepatitis c. both liz and dena were given blood transfusions after giving birth. it would be decades before they learned the blood they had been given was contaminated with hepatitis c. it's undetectable at the minute, but it's left me with various health conditions, the worst one being fibromyalgia for me.

ibs, gastro problems, barrett's oesophagus, severe anxiety and depression. after diagnosis, their concern was not just for themselves, but their children. there was the trauma of me thinking, well, i've had hep c. i could've passed it onto the rest the children. so then i had to tell them, one by one, "you need to get tested, cos you might have hep c. "i might have given you hep c." what i do feel angry about is that all those years, when i wasn't treated, i was a risk to other people or my children, you know, at each birth, they were at risk. and fortunately they are ok. i think that's what i feel quite upset about. it's believed around 30,000 people were infected with hiv and hepatitis c. more than 1,000 of them had the rare

blood—clotting disorder haemophilia. mark was one of dozens of children who were given what was supposed to be a revolutionary blood treatment at treloar�*s college, a boarding school that specialised in treating the condition. it initially gave him a new lease of life, but in 1985, he was told he had hiv. he was 23, was planning to get married and have children and buy houses and he couldn't do any of that. mark died in 2003, aged a1. janine was with him at the end. every time he woke up, he'd squeeze my hand, "still here, neen, still here?

"while this breath in my body, i will follow it "for you, don't worry." janine is still fighting forjustice for her brother 21 years later. like mark, nick stainsbury also developed hepatitis c and hiv after receiving

treatment for haemophilia. nick campaigned to find out why children had been given contaminated blood products. he gave evidence during the six—year investigation into the scandal. he didn't live to hear its findings. even though, in his last few years, he was in a wheelchair most of the time, he would definitely have got to the hearing on may 20th, no matter what. it hasjust become so sad, because we're thinking nick would've liked to have heard this, and obviously, he's not here to do that, and it'sjust something that we're trying to come to terms with ourselves. these are just a few of the thousands of people impacted by the contaminated blood scandal. tomorrow, many of them will travel to westminster in the hope of finally finding some form ofjustice. sophie long, bbc news. we're joined now by sarah westoby,

a lawyer whose firm is representing more than 300 people affected by the infected blood scandal. thank you so much forjoining us this morning, sarah, and we saw there _ this morning, sarah, and we saw there dena, _ this morning, sarah, and we saw there dena, one of the many people you represent whose lives have been hugely— you represent whose lives have been hugely affected by this.— hugely affected by this. absolutely, we represent _ hugely affected by this. absolutely, we represent 300 _ hugely affected by this. absolutely, we represent 300 people, - hugely affected by this. absolutely, we represent 300 people, i- hugely affected by this. absolutely, i we represent 300 people, i remember dena's story really clearly, the lives of these individuals have been affected in so many ways, physically, both physical and mental health, their relationships, education, work, finances, and the stigma of these awful viruses. find stigma of these awful viruses. and how much has _ stigma of these awful viruses. and how much has the _ stigma of these awful viruses. and how much has the inquiry helped give them a sense of closure, and how much has it actually been quite an ordeal to talk about it? it must make the trauma resurface a bit. i think so, it is difficult to speak

for the individuals, but our clients have been so dignified and brave in telling their stories over the five and a half years now and giving witness evidence to the inquiry, which has been so important to hear what they have to say, and i hope tomorrow will be an opportunity for their voices to really be heard and their voices to really be heard and the questions that they have answered. the questions that they have answered-— the questions that they have answered. ., , ., , ., the questions that they have answered. ., , ., ., answered. how helpful are you that the publication _ answered. how helpful are you that the publication of— answered. how helpful are you that the publication of the _ answered. how helpful are you that the publication of the final - answered. how helpful are you that the publication of the final report i the publication of the final report will actually deliver some sort of closure for these victims and their families? , , ., ., families? the inquiry is going to be lookin: at families? the inquiry is going to be looking at what _ families? the inquiry is going to be looking at what happened, - families? the inquiry is going to be looking at what happened, why - families? the inquiry is going to be looking at what happened, why it l looking at what happened, why it happened, and he was responsible, and so our clients will be looking to understand how such risks were taken with their lives, what happened, was there any cover—up, and who is responsible, and that might pave the way for an apology to finally have some closure. but we need to look really carefully at the report tomorrow and the

recommendations made in order to know if that is going to be achieved. know if that is going to be achieved-— know if that is going to be achieved. ~ ., ., , ., ., know if that is going to be achieved. ~ ., ., ., , achieved. what would you deem to be achieved. what would you deem to be a suitable resolution _ achieved. what would you deem to be a suitable resolution to _ achieved. what would you deem to be a suitable resolution to this? - achieved. what would you deem to be a suitable resolution to this? quite i a suitable resolution to this? quite aside from the financial compensation, what would be the answer to this ordeal that has been going on for so long? ads, answer to this ordeal that has been going on for so long?— going on for so long? a long time, es, i going on for so long? a long time, yes. i think — going on for so long? a long time, yes, i think acknowledgement i going on for so long? a long time, yes, i think acknowledgement of i going on for so long? a long time, i yes, i think acknowledgement of the ordeal and the devastation caused to lives, accountability, what happened, and he was responsible, which individuals which bodies, at what level of authority, to ensure this doesn't happen again. but then we need to see action on those recommendations, which includes the compensation framework, which can be put in place immediately. what compensation framework, which can be put in place immediately.— put in place immediately. what is interestinu put in place immediately. what is interesting is _ put in place immediately. what is interesting is that _ put in place immediately. what is interesting is that in _ put in place immediately. what is interesting is that in other i interesting is that in other countries where this has happened, this has moved so much more quickly than here, hasn't it?— than here, hasn't it? that's right, it has happened. _ than here, hasn't it? that's right, it has happened, and _ than here, hasn't it? that's right, it has happened, and i _ than here, hasn't it? that's right, it has happened, and i feel- than here, hasn't it? that's right, it has happened, and i feel we i than here, hasn't it? that's right, | it has happened, and i feel we are it has happened, and ifeel we are behind. this inquiry is an opportunity to step up and to listen and to act, and that needs to

happen. it is four decades, five, it needs to happen now. the publicity around this has _ needs to happen now. the publicity around this has prompted - needs to happen now. the publicity around this has prompted so i needs to happen now. the publicity around this has prompted so many| around this has prompted so many other people to come forward, we have just been reporting, other people to come forward, we havejust been reporting, of other people to come forward, we have just been reporting, of course, a surge in demand for hepatitis c tests that are available from the nhs. to expect to hearfrom even more people, particularly when we get the report published tomorrow, who think they may have been involved? , . ., who think they may have been involved? , ., ,, ., , involved? yes, and i think that is really sad. _ involved? yes, and i think that is really sad. yes- _ involved? yes, and i think that is really sad, yes. i _ involved? yes, and i think that is really sad, yes. ithink— involved? yes, and i think that is really sad, yes. i think the i really sad, yes. i think the campaign to find the undiagnosed is something that is so central to many of our clients' hopes for the conclusion of the inquiry. hepatitis c is known as the silent killer. if left untreated, it can do irreparable damage, so the earlier you get at it, the better, in terms of the prognosis for that person. more could have been done by now, the test for hepatitis c has been available for many years, and i

think more people will come forward. we should have had a better look back exercise, looking at patient records to see who had transfusions, we should have had a better public awareness campaign, so i feel more people will come forward, but this could have been avoided.- people will come forward, but this could have been avoided. sarah, you said that tomorrow, _ could have been avoided. sarah, you said that tomorrow, or _ could have been avoided. sarah, you said that tomorrow, or this - could have been avoided. sarah, you said that tomorrow, or this week, i said that tomorrow, or this week, you help the publication of the report will answer some of the questions that your clients have had. what has been the most pressing question that the people you represent have had about this? i think answers, answers to their all the questions, they have been fighting for truth for decades and have been pushed back at every turn by consecutive governments. answers over wh it by consecutive governments. answers over why it happened, _ by consecutive governments. answers over why it happened, or _ by consecutive governments. answers over why it happened, or what i by consecutive governments. answers over why it happened, or what is i over why it happened, or what is going to happen next? what is the most urgent answer that people are looking for? mina; most urgent answer that people are looking for?— looking for? why had happened and wh it was looking for? why had happened and why it was kicked _ looking for? why had happened and why it was kicked into _ looking for? why had happened and why it was kicked into the _ looking for? why had happened and why it was kicked into the long i why it was kicked into the long grass by consecutive governments, why they never changed the line to take when, in the face of the warnings that they were given, in

the face of the individual is trying to seek answers and get to the truth, constantly being pushed back. the government says it has a new compensation plan that it wants to present after we have heard the findings of that report. and there are some parallels here, we were talking about the post office scandal in the financial compensation paid to sub—postmasters. it is not about the money once again here, isn't it? but it is very difficult to work out how you put a price on someone's life changing experience like this, be it at the post office or in this infected blood scandal. how would you put a number on it?— infected blood scandal. how would you put a number on it? some people have received — you put a number on it? some people have received some _ you put a number on it? some people have received some compensation, i you put a number on it? some people. have received some compensation, but not everybody, some people have received nothing at all, and tragically many people have died and they will never see the final report of the compensation that they deserved. it is for the government to work out that framework, to work out those tariffs, to work out how

much, and i have everything they need to do that.— much, and i have everything they need to do that. sarah, thank you for coming _ need to do that. sarah, thank you for coming in _ need to do that. sarah, thank you for coming in and _ need to do that. sarah, thank you for coming in and speaking i need to do that. sarah, thank you for coming in and speaking to i need to do that. sarah, thank you for coming in and speaking to us i for coming in and speaking to us about this, we will all be watching closely to see what happens when the report is finally published. a final report from the public inquiry into the infected blood scandal is due tomorrow. we will have lots of coverage on bbc breakfast and across bbc news throughout the week. let's talk to jane, she has all the sport. morning! britain's tyson fury has failed in his attempt to become the first undisputed heavyweight boxing champion in almost 25 years. he lost the unification title fight in saudi arabia, on a split decision, to the ukrainian oleksandr usyk. our sports reporter ade adedoyin was watching and joins us now. he was going to join he was going tojoin us, but unfortunately he will not, we will be speaking to him in a moment. an exciting night, a split decision,

adejoins us now exciting night, a split decision, ade joins us now from exciting night, a split decision, adejoins us now from riyadh, first of all, fury seems to be showboating quite a lot during the match itself, almost assuming that he had won, do feel that came back to bite him? it certainly did, it looked very comfortable for tyson fury, it felt, watching at ringside, a bit like a david and goliath contest, such a huge difference in size, the momentum shifting one way and the other, and in the middle rounds, it looked like fury are starting to take control. it was showboating, he had enjoyed himself, he had usyk hurt in the sixth round, and it looked as if he would cruise to victory. but oleksandr usyk cranked up victory. but oleksandr usyk cranked up the pressure on tyson fury, and he showed just why he is a great fighter, and what an epic ninth round that was, he thrashed fury from pillar to post, almost had him out. if it had been a lesser fight,

the referee might havejumped in to stop it, because fury was out on his feet. i was close enough to touch the ring apron, added eyes had glazed over, i don't know how he stayed up, it wasjust glazed over, i don't know how he stayed up, it was just the ropes holding him up, but what a performance from another, which cements his place as one of the greatest of all time. ads, cements his place as one of the greatest of all time.— greatest of all time. a lot of eo - le greatest of all time. a lot of people talking _ greatest of all time. a lot of people talking about i greatest of all time. a lot of people talking about his i greatest of all time. a lot of i people talking about his technical ability, because so much was made at the height difference and fury�*s ridge, but mike tyson was only five foot ten, some of the greatest boxes are not necessarily the tallest, and usyk has, as you said, certainly clarified that and has showed how impressive he is as a boxer. yeah, he really did. _ impressive he is as a boxer. yeah, he really did, and _ impressive he is as a boxer. yeah, he really did, and we _ impressive he is as a boxer. yeah, he really did, and we got - impressive he is as a boxer. yeah, he really did, and we got a i impressive he is as a boxer. yeah, l he really did, and we got a glimpse of this when he faced and defeated anthonyjoshua to claim the heavyweight titles. remember, this is only his sixth fight in the heavyweight division, and yet he has been no man in tyson fury who called himself the lineal champion, who

called himself one of the greatest to ever do it, who said he would never go out to a defeat in his career because he was head and shoulders above the rest. only two men have won the undisputed cruiserweight championship and heavyweight championship, evander holyfield and now oleksandr usyk, and i think it was a performance was fitting of the occasion, there were legends of the rings at ringside, the last men to fight for the undisputed title were in the ring before the fight, and they produced a fight for the ages. as you say, oleksandr usyk technically brilliant, but i think it also showed just what a tough character he is, because there were times he was under pressure, and you talk about things happening back home in ukraine, somehow he manages to compartmentalise that. when i spoke to him, he said the people back on give me strength. remember, he paused his career to go back to be part of the effort to defend against the russian invasion, and he said he was persuaded by soldiers to go back

to the ring, his normal arena of battle, because he was an inspiration, and he delivered a performance that would have made the country proud. he was very emotional afterwards, when he talked about what it meant to him and his country, and this is a performance that will cement his legacy in the sport is one of the greatest of all time and certainly the best heavyweight fighter of this era. as]!!! heavyweight fighter of this era. all right, ade, thank you so for that. the premier league season reaches its climax later today. it's in manchester city's hands, as they chase an unprecedented fourth title in a row. a win against west ham will mean they'll be champions once again, but any slip—ups, and arsenal, who are just two points behind, could lift the trophy instead. patrick gearey reports. the premier league title race is not over... the run—in will go right down to the wire... a cracker of a title race... a title race that will go to the final day next sunday... it's the kind of day that calls for two trophies — one in manchester, the other in north london.

for the runner—up. one will be raised, the other a backup — for the runner—up. there is a contingency, because there is stilljeopardy. after 37 games, manchester city lead by two points, but arsenal have the better goal difference, so anything less than a city win could let them in. pep guardiola's side do have the edge, the expectation, the experience. and there's haaland! the team that times its runs perfectly climbed top on tuesday, where they're used to finishing. city have won the last three titles. beat west ham, and they'll do it for an unprecedented fourth time. but the 115 premier league charges against them means some still question their place in history. so does pep guardiola feel his team is loved? i don't know, honestly, i don't know. but the fact is that if you ask all the premier league teams when we started the season, what would be the better position in the last game of the season, we are in the best position, so that's for sure.

so one game left, destiny in our hands, to win one game to be champion, everyone would like to be in our position, that's for sure. not least arsenal. last summer, last season's runners—up added rice to bulk things out. declan rice has won the game for arsenal! the england midfielder another high—quality ingredient in mikel arteta's superb squad. they have won 27 matches this season, more than in any other in the premier league era — yet even number 28 against everton might not be enough. i know the demands that they're going to be putting in every season, and it's going to be higher and higher, and if you want to achieve that, you're going to have to do something extraordinary. till the last day, i do believe. we wanted to be in this position, we have earned the right to live a beautiful day in front of our people on sunday with the hope and with the big opportunity that we can lift that trophy at the end of the match. thomas has scored for arsenal! you have to travel a way back,

but there is inspiration. michael thomas snatched the title from liverpool in injury time in 1989, the last occasion that a team has won the title starting second on the final day. there have been dramas since, though, as city well know, and even on what appears to be the final straight, out of nowhere can come a twist. patrick geary, bbc news. celtic manager brendan rodgers says "it means everything" after his side were presented with the scottish premiership trophy. they'd already won the league, but they came from behind twice to beat st mirren 3—2 in their final game of the season. santa claus came bearing gifts — a return for him after he was booed at christmas when he conducted a half—time draw when celtic were losing a game. it's celtic�*s third consecutive title.

emma hayes says she's relieved after winning a fifth successive women's super league title with chelsea. a 6—0 thumping of manchester united on the final day of the season meant they beat manchester city to the honours on goal difference. british record signing mayra ramirez settled the nerves by scoring the opening goal afterjust two minutes. it's a seventh wsl title for hayes and a fitting sendoff as she leaves the club to take over as the usa head coach. i don't think i have any words, and probably mixed with a tonne of different emotions, knowing it's the end and i won't be with this team or with these fans again, but they're always in my heart. oxford united will be back in english football's second tier next season for the first time in 25 years. that's after they beat bolton wanderers 2—0

in the league one playoff final at wembley. both goals came from josh murphy in the space of 11 minutes. it's a remarkable turnaround for united, who were in danger of relegation last season, and were thrashed 5—0 by bolton just two months ago. there's more live rugby league for you on bbc two this afternoon, with huddersfield giants against warrington wolves in the second semifinal of the challenge cup. that's at 3:15. wigan will be waiting for them in the final at wembley on the 8th ofjune, after they dominated hull kr, running in seven tries to win by 38—6. jake wardle one of five different try scorers for wigan. and holders st helens reached their fourth women's challenge cup final in a row with an impressive 32—2 win over york valkyrie. they'll face wigan or leeds, who play at 12:30, and you can watch that on the red button. bath have secured a home tie in rugby union's premiership

play—offs after beating northampton by 113—12 at the rec. will muir scored two tries against the leaders as bath finished second in the table. they'll host third—placed sale in the play—offs, while northampton take on saracens. sale finished their season in style. they beat saracens away for the first time in 20 years to confirm their spot. max verstappen said it was "very special" to equal the record set by the great ayrton senna, when he took pole position for the eighth race in a row. it's 30 years since senna's death on the same imola circuit. the championship leader beat mclaren's oscar piastri and lando norris in a tight qualifying session at the emilia romagna grand prix, with only a tenth of a second dividing the top three. piastri will start fifth, though, after he was given a three—place grid penalty. it was a big improvement on a disappointing performance in the practice sessions.

again, coverage of that across the bbc, that is your sport. here's matt with the weather. morning to you, i am going to take you to ballymena in northern ireland first of all, where ian caught this, the morning mist and fog retreating, and improving day, as it will be for quite a view through the day. but what of the week ahead? after a dry and warm start to the week, it will turn cooler, not cold by any means, temperatures still at or above normal for the time of year, but we will notice from midweek onwards, a cooler feel, will notice from midweek onwards, a coolerfeel, it will notice from midweek onwards, a cooler feel, it will be wetter and windier with widespread rain spreading across the country. that shows up on the weather forecast symbols chart for the week ahead in the capital cities. the other thing to point out are the temperatures, they are going to fall away a little

bit, it is they are going to fall away a little hit, it is going to be called for the time of year, temperatures only falling back to where they should be after a particularly warm spell across some parts of the uk. but the rain and symbols showing that the dry spell is over for many. not completely dry over the past few days, one or two possible today, but let's talk about the mist and fog first of all, the stuff across the south and east is starting to lift and shift, the fog across western coasts will shift away, but some will linger around the north—east of england right throughout the day. more sunshine compared with yesterday, higher temperatures, more sunshine compared with yesterday, highertemperatures, but yesterday, higher temperatures, but still the yesterday, highertemperatures, but still the chance of one or two sharp showers here and across south wales, but not the widespread showers we saw yesterday. chance of thunder over the cumbrian fells, the southern uplands, may be an isolated show in county down and county armagh, but low cloud lingering towards the north coast, staying great around the coast of scotland

and north—east england, temperatures here only around 10—12 at the highest. in tonight, mist and fog more extensive again, probably more so than last night, pushing it across many parts of central and eastern scotland and england too, clearer skies in the west, but even here pockets of fog. it could be grey and murky, a bit of a sluggish commute for some of you. but a lot of that will shift and break again, still struggling on some of the coast to completely lose the mist and sea fog, a bit more clout compared with today, so for scotland, northern ireland. 23 degrees is possible here, as temperatures rise. even though we will see temperatures down on what we have seen in recent days, it will still feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine.

commemorations are being held in italy to mark 80 years since the allied forces won the battle of monte cassino, one of the bloodiest in the second world war. tens of thousands of troops from a number of countries, including the uk, were killed before the mountain—top monastery and the nearby town were captured from the nazis. our correspondent kasia madera is following the commorations in monte cassino. one, people are starting to gather, tell us more about what events are expected. there have been many events over the past few days in honour of those who fell fighting the battles of monte cassino, we are at the commonwealth war cemetery where those who fell from six different continents are being honoured. this was a truly international battle, and this is one of many events where families of veterans, even some veterans, are attending. take a look at this, that was the field of battle, that is

where so many allied soldiers lost their lives trying to get control of their lives trying to get control of the monitoring of monte cassino. i'm just going to show you a little reflection of what happened 80 years ago in my report. on a mountaintop perch, the monastery that was worth fighting for. but with heavy losses on both sides, victory came at great cost. archive: big italian railway guns are ranged against the german lines... by the end of 1943, allied advances into italy had forced the germans back. but blocking the route to rome was the town of cassino. it's no longer possible to speak of cassino as a town. this is how it looks today... the battle that took place here is often described as the most bitter and brutal of the second world war. it lasted for more than four months in appalling conditions during the harshest italian winter on record. history hasn't always appreciated the sacrifice of those who fought here.

they were known as the d—day dodgers, mocked for missing the normandy landings. yet the sacrifices were high, with countries including the uk, the us, france and poland having 55,000 casualties. the germans suffered losses of around 20,000. now the last few veterans are marking this milestone anniversary, recalling their harrowing experience. if you feel the same way as i do, we are a family. we are a family, because we come here to honour those who didn't make it, who fell in here on their road to poland. yes, they didn't make it, but i did. 80 years on, their sacrifices for the battles of monte cassino are not forgotten.

so that was the polish ceremony at the polish war cemetery right up there on the hilltop. amongst some of those veterans who took part wanted to share their stories, one gentleman whose father passed away, whose sons join us now, gentleman whose father passed away, whose sonsjoin us now, arthur and malcolm, you are here to honour your father, your grandfather, because he lives here. he father, your grandfather, because he lives here. , ., , lives here. he lives here, he has done since _ lives here. he lives here, he has done since 1944. _ lives here. he lives here, he has done since 1944. that _ lives here. he lives here, he has done since 1944. that is - lives here. he lives here, he has done since 1944. that is it, i lives here. he lives here, he has done since 1944. that is it, this| lives here. he lives here, he has| done since 1944. that is it, this is my third time here that i have visited. ifirst came here my third time here that i have visited. i first came here from berlin when i was saving in berlin, i was down here for the opening of the cemetery. i was down here for the opening of the cemetery-— i was down here for the opening of the cemete . a, . ., , ., ., ., the cemetery. malcolm, your grandad, it is really important, _ the cemetery. malcolm, your grandad, it is really important, i— the cemetery. malcolm, your grandad, it is really important, i know _ the cemetery. malcolm, your grandad, it is really important, i know you i it is really important, i know you have been telling me, you come here year upon year. he have been telling me, you come here year upon year-— year upon year. he does, this is the first time i — year upon year. he does, this is the first time i have _ year upon year. he does, this is the first time i have actually _ year upon year. he does, this is the first time i have actually come - first time i have actually come here, — first time i have actually come here, in— first time i have actually come here, in terms of work and

hello, downing street says it is not

time for the election yet. you could have fooled me. prime minister was facing the lunchtime ladies and making speeches at collectors. keir starmer was subtly running up a shirtsleeves at glossy party events with his new brand, his first steps, but whoever is in charge, russia is on the march again in ukraine. we speak to alexei navalny�*s close friend, who was battered and attack himself. he tells me why he will never give up the fight against putin. morning, morning. there's something in the air — it wasn't tony blair's pledge card or ed miliband's "ed stone", remember that? but after rishi sunak�*s five pledges, keir starmer unveiled his six first steps. let's see who's been paying attention —
