That is the warning from the Care Quality Commission. It comes after an investigation found firms may be prescribing unsuitable medication, failing to carry out thorough medical history checks, or employing clinicians without the correct qualifications. The Healthcare Watchdog has for the first time published a set of guidelines for Online Companies offering Doctor Services in england. Andy moore reports.

The company said it has made many changes to its processes and systems, that will eventually satisfy the regulators. Get better, get treated. Com. But the qc is worried more widely about the safety of onLine Services. They say there isa of onLine Services. They say there is a risk of people being prescribed unsuitable medication, the treatment causing publications to existing health conditions, and a lack of monitoring of follow ups for patients. We have now looked at 11 providers, two of which have been published today, and we are quite shocked about what we have found. And indeed, in those other providers, we have also found some really serious problems, and those reports will be published over the next few weeks. For the first time, the cqc has published a clear set of standards for online doctors. They must verify patients matched their photo id, such as through a skype check. They must get a competence of medical history, and seek permission to co nta ct medical history, and seek permission to contact a patients gp.

Air Accident Investigators are publishing their final report into the shoreham Airshow Disaster. 11 people died when a Vintage Jet Performing A Loop Stunt crashed onto the a27 in august 2015.

This was the Hawker Hunterjet at the centre of the shoreham air crash. The key attraction at the show over the Sussex Seaside Town but during one acrobatic manoeuvre this happened. The jet but during one acrobatic manoeuvre this happened. Thejet crashed by the a27, that ran alongside the showground. 11 men were killed. It was the worst Airshow Accident in britain in more than 60 years. Among those who died were two friends, Matthew Greenstone and jacob shield, worth 23 and both players bought worthing united football club. The Clu B Worthing united football club. The club vice chairman, marcus anderson, says the disaster continues to haunt all of those who knew the young man.

Accident investigators had already published a number of preliminary reports. He said the jet was working normally, and that the shows organisers had not been aware of what mr hill intended to do during his aerial display.

Theresa may will make it clear that keeping scotland in the uk is a personal priority when she addresses the Scottish Conservative Party conference in glasgow later today. She will attempt to defuse calls for another referendum on independence. Scotlands first minister, nicola sturgeon, has said she believes she has a Cast Iron Mandate to hold a second ballot, after scotland overwhelmingly voted to remain in the eu. Speaking to the bbcs reporting Scotland Programme ahead of the speech, mrs may accused the snp of having Tunnel Vision over independence. I think ithink in i think in 201a the people of scotla nd i think in 201a the people of scotland voted to stay within the United Kingdom. It was described by the snp as a once in a Generation Vote that took place at that time. I dont think people want a referendum today. To me, to me politics isnt a game. To me politics is about peoples lives. Its about delivering for people on the issues that really matter to them on a day to day basis, and i cant help feel that the Snp Has Tunnel Vision about independence. Actually, i think what people want is for the snp government to get on with dealing with the issues they want to see addressed on a day to day basis. The number of people on zero hours contracts has reached a record high, according to figures from the Resolution Foundation. Sean is here to explain what is going on. Good morning. Good morning. They are controversial, arent they . They have been over the years, zero hours contracts, where they dont guarantee them any amount of work. There has been a big growth, 910,000 people have these. Compare that to 30 more than three years ago. There has been a bit of growth, but we noticed in this analysis of the figures in the last six months of last year there was actually a bit of not growing anywhere near as much as it used to. So they are now looking at, are we getting near the peak, the maximum number of people having these contracts . Partly because people can bargain a bit harder, lots of people are in work so harder, lots of people are in work so maybe you can bargain for a stronger contracts, and companies, reputation wise, it has not been good headlines and companies have been thinking lets offer staff some guaranteed hours, not these zero hours contracts. Counting will get under way later this morning for Northern Irelands Assembly election vote. Polls closed last night, with final results expected on saturday afternoon. It is the second time that Northern Ireland has had to choose a government in the space of ten months. Chris buckler reports from belfast. This generation might not remember the troubles, but elections in Northern Ireland tend to expose old divisions, and once the results of this vote are known, the challenge could be holding on to Power Sharing. The Dups Arlene Foster led her party into this election, following a bitter fallout with irish republicans. Over the last few weeks, harsh words have been exchanged between mrs foster and the new sinn fein leader, michelle 0neill. That has led some to question whether they will be heading back into government together any time soon. In the last assembly election, which was, remember, less than a year ago, the dup returned as the biggest party, winning 38 of the 108 seats. While sinn fein were in second place, with 28 Assembly Members. The opposition parties, the sdlp, the ulster unionists, and the alliance, will all hope to increase their share of the vote this time, and that is true for the smaller parties too. But actually gaining seats could be difficult, because the number of Assembly Members is being reduced from 108 to just 90. The strength of each of the parties is likely to be important in the inevitable negotiations. To try to get a deal that would allow Power Sharing the return to stormont. Chris buckler, bbc news, belfast. Army bomb disposal teams have been working through the night to prepare for the removal of an unexploded Second World War bomb. It was discovered on a Building Site in North West London yesterday afternoon. Schools, businesses and homes were evacuated after police and fire crews were called to the scene. The council has warned the site wont be made safe until at least this afternoon. Mike is here with the sport now. Another milestone for andy murray. Tiebreaks are used to settle matches at the end of sets, if they are still 6 6, it is the first to seven points, they usually go for five or ten minutes. This one overnight lasted 31 minutes, the longest since way back in 1991, which says something, doesnt it . Andy murray obviously winning it. The end result is that andy murray is through to the semi finals of the Dubai Championships, but the story is the way he got past germanys philipp kohlschreiber. Murray had to save seven match points, before winning the second set tie break, which forced the match into a decider, and it took him over half an hour to do so. British cycling has apologised for failings in the way it looked after its riders, and has promised to improve. After accusation of bullying and sexism, chairman Jonathan Browning says the organisation will make changes, to be more caring towards riders. It is three super league wins out of three for Castleford Tigers. They dismantled leeds rhinos in the big West Yorkshire derby last night, winning by 66 10.

I am here on the Greenwich Peninsula, in amongst this Art Installation called the iris, by the artist Rebecca Louise law, and she has used 10,000 fresh irises, each one of them suspended from the ceiling via piece of copper wire, so they give the illusion that they are just floating in the air, a really Art Installation. We have some beautiful springlike flowers, and across many parts of the country the Spring Flowers are starting to break out. But the weather not looking all that springlike over the next few days. It is pretty u nsettled next few days. It is pretty unsettled and we have low pressure in charge.

The north wales public driver a good part of the morning, as will be parts of Northern England but across Northern Ireland you will see further spells of rain and perhaps even some hill snow around as well. As we head through the course of the day, that rain in the south pushes its way gradually northwards through the day so about lunchtime that rain arriving across quite a good part of Northern England, wet for Northern Ireland and much of scotland having not a bad day. There will be some sunshine around but temperatures only around six or seven towards the north but further south it is a milder day, with temperatures around 11 or 12 degrees. 0n into the evening and overnight, that rain continues its progress further north.

Still some wet and windy weather across the north east of scotland, but elsewhere not a bad sort of day.

In an interview with breakfast, the schools minister, nick gibb, insists that funding overall is at an all time high, but said thats schools would have to help reduce the deficit. Breakfasts Jayne Mccubbin reports. What would be the first stage . What would be the first stage 7m this maths class, a Parent Volunteer works out. Mrs walsh, a growing number of those who give up their time to help fill gaps. Are you happy to do it . Yes. It is required. And that his financial help as well. Pa rents and that his financial help as well. Parents here pay a regular monthly £5 sum to help make ends meet. Why should we have to ask them for morejust is not right. And i dont like doing it. Here, the head teacher is inviting us in to give an honest insight into why they have to ask. We will lose 8 . Rising honest insight into why they have to ask. We will lose 896. Rising costs means all schools will lose on average 8 in the next three years. But under the new system, just under half of schools, including this one, would gain on average 3 . That leaves a shortfall. And the school has already lost. Three years ago they were in the black. The next year they slipped into the red. And today . £30,000 nearly. Yes. A deficit. It is already having a knock on effect. Some of my children already they are struggling a bit and they have less help this year than last year. And that is the honest truth. All of those things i could shave, i have shaved. Still, we could not get to a balanced budget. It is an impossibility. We could not get to a balanced budget. It is an impossibilitym poynton, a school that plans to lose with the current proposals. They have already lost 1a full time positions, they say. This is a cliff edge. I have heard from other schools around the country they are making this unpalatable decision. They are stopping their curriculum. They are stopping their curriculum. They are stopping their curriculum. They are not going to run Technology 01 they are not going to run technology or art. These kinds of things will disappearfrom or art. These kinds of things will disappear from the curriculum. The Department For Education say they have protected schools until now, but now school cuts are inevitable. We have a much fairer system. It reflects the needs of the pupils at that school. But fair doesnt mean affordable. Fair doesnt mean schools will balance their books. School funding is as high as it has ever been. It does not cover increasing cost. We expect them to absorb those, because we all have to contribute to the task of delivering a reduction in the deficit. But Overall School funding is at an all time level of £a0 billion a year, and it will go to put a year as people numbers rise by 2019 and 2020. But it isnt enough. As i said, it should be enough. Should be enough. Efficiencies, he believes, should still be found. An association of College Leaders disagree. They say many schools will be pushed to Breaking Point under new proposals, which will come soon. Sarah mccubbin, bbc news. Its an antisocial act that normally goes under the radar, but many have long suspected the truth. People do wee in public pools.

Good morning to you and thank you for your time this morning. Give us a sense of the appetite you think there was for this election. What do you think the turnout might have been . Well, early indications are that the turnout has been up which i think there was some fears that there would be voter apathy, given as you said we were at the polls eight months ago. This is a Snap Election which wasnt expected and therefore Voter Turnout was a bit of an unknown as to how people would react to it. Reports i was receiving last night from a lot of the ballots we re last night from a lot of the ballots were that votes were definitely up in some areas. That will help me be the moderate parties, the opposition parties, but that remains to be seen. We have a single transferable vote system, a very lengthy system which requires a lot of counting but i would say that possibly today we will get an indication of the way things are going to go. It is fairly complex, and when you look ahead, if you would for us now, what are the possible results . What might happen asa possible results . What might happen as a result of this vote . 0k, well i think most commentators are of the opinion that very little will change. We know that the dup and sinn fein are likely to be the main parties with a lesser number of seats. We had 100 people elected during the last election and only 90 during the last election and only 90 during this one, meaning that all parties are expecting a drop in seats but if sinn fein and the dup can hold their majorities, then we are in serious difficulty because this election was called because the relations between these parties broke down quite badly over a £500 million botched Clean Energy Scheme that there are other issues as well on those issues are unlikely to be resolved within three weeks of talks, which is what we have. We have an election and as a result of that election we will know tomorrow morning. If that shows that we still have the dup and sinn fein at the two main parties then we will have three weeks of talks, they have three weeks of talks, they have three weeks of talks, they have three weeks to government, and given the differences between the two and how nasty this election has been, if they will resolve those in three weeks if they cannot resolve these in three weeks, we are looking at another election, which is unlikely, or a period of correct rule. As we know, theresa may has a lot on their mind, and might be unlikely to take on Northern Ireland met at this time. There is a generation in Northern Ireland who have grown up in a very different way, without the troubles of the past. Their concerns are the ordinary ones aboutjobs and what they have and what the country has to offer them. It feels a little bit as if this campaign has harked back toa as if this campaign has harked back to a different time. It has, it has been very sectarian. I have been a journalist was 17 or 18 years and i can remember the early elections right after the good friday agreement when we would have had a lot of division, a lot of green and orange issues, mainly around the constitutional question. Whether or not we remain part of the uk or a united ireland. That issue faded as time went on and as you said we had a generation who have absolutely no memory of the troubles whatsoever, and they want to know about university fees, about employment, they want to know about social issues such as same sex marriage which has been repeatedly blocked in Northern Ireland, and also changes to the abortion legislation, which again we lag behind everyone else on. Those are the issues you will maybe see the progressive parties, people Like Alliance or the green party, whether that is enough to make any change to the dynamic of the Assembly Remains to be seen but we are saying is commentators that things are unlikely to change dramatically. As we know, journalist and pollsters have got it wrong in the past, especially in the last few yea rs. The past, especially in the last few years. There is no idea, because this is a totally unknown quantity. This election was called on one issue, botched energy scheme, so we have never had anything like this and there is no precedent for it. Nobody knows what the outcome is going to be. We are all saying there could be changed to the status quo, but maybe we will see a shock move towards the middle ground, and that is something i think we will all be keeping a keen eye on is the day goes on. Thank you much. Allison morris is with the irish news, and those results expected tomorrow afternoon, saturday afternoon. Lets have a look at the weather. Has spring finally sprung . It certainly looks like it. Tell us where you are. Good morning to you. I am looks like it. Tell us where you are. Good morning to you. Iam here on the Greenwich Peninsula at the now gallery, amongst an Art Installation called the iris, it involves 10,000 individual fresh irises, which have been suspended from the ceiling, each one hung by hand by a little piece of copper wire. So it took the team here around five days to really create this installation. And at the moment they are very fresh, very colourful, and certainly very aromatic as well. I wish you could smell the smell in this room. It is very beautiful. They are going to be here until the seventh of may and im overtime that this part of deletion will really changed in the way it looks and feels. So the flowers are going to be left here to weather out, dry out, as well, and apparently they are still going to be very beautiful as time goes on. So we have got some lovely Spring Flowers here at the now gallery. If you are hoping to head out and see some Spring Flowers today, the weather is looking pretty 599y today, the weather is looking pretty soggy and unsettled. Rain at times today and through because of the weekend as well. A few showers to the far north of scotland, but much of northern and Central Scotland start the day pretty frosty. But there will be some sunshine around. The southern half of will see more cloud, some rain and a bit of hill snow as well. Should be largely dry and bright towards the North East Of England but east anglia and the South East See that rain setting in. This is 9am this morning. Some heavy burst of rain and also some pretty strong and gusty winds particularly along the south coast. As we move towards the South West Of England and south wales, some of that rain will be quite heavy at times. Again, combined with some strong and blustery winds. I think by 9am the north of wales and in fact much of Northern England will look predominantly dry. As we head crossed in Northern Ireland, there isa crossed in Northern Ireland, there is a band of rain and even a bit of hill snow perhaps mixed in on the highest pea ks as hill snow perhaps mixed in on the highest peaks as well. As we head through the course of the day, then, that rain across the southern half of the country pushes its way northwards. So wet weather pushing across much of Northern England, certainly Northern Ireland as well. There will be some brighter weather heading into the south east later on in the day, and actually essential and Northern Scotland remaining drive much of the day. Contrasting temperatures, though. 0nly drive much of the day. Contrasting temperatures, though. Only about five degrees in the north whereas further south it will be much milder, around about ten to 12 celsius. Into the evening and overnight, we keep that band of rain which continues to push northwards. So pretty soggy night to come across much of Central Scotland, Northern Ireland as well. Northern scotland remains largely dry, with a. It across much of england and wales, still with a few showers. Temperatures here eight or nine degrees and certainly called where you have those clear skies across the north of scotland. As we head through the day tomorrow is putting wet and windy across Northern Ireland, much of scotland as well. Still some showers across in and wales, put italy around the east coast, but actually quite a good deal of dry, usable sort of weather as well with some sunshine, and temperatures generally around about ten or 11 degrees towards the south but it is looking a little bit colder further north. But it is looking a little bit colderfurther north. Now, though Pressure Stays with us as we had in through the second half of the weekend as well. For sunday there will be a band of Rain Moving West to east across much of england and wales. Quite windy and wait for the north east of scotland. Elsewhere there will be some sunshine on offer as well so all in all it is looking like a fairly changeable outlook over the next few days. The pub industry has been under financial pressure for a number of years, and Pub Landlords are now weighing down on the chancellor. It is not the first time we have talked about problems for the pub industry. Many Small Businesses will see if Philip Hammond may actually make any tweaks to help them. According to the Campaign For Real Ale, over 20 of them are closing every week. The George And Dragon in hudswell, North Yorkshire was one of those. It closed in 2008, but was brought back to life by its community, and has even added a shop and library to keep punters coming. Today, itll be named pub of the year. We took over running the pub in july, 201a. The pub is the hub of the village. It is the centre. It is where everyone gets together. Most shareholders in the club, 205 different shareholders currently, they are not be day to day drinkers used to get. We have diversified. We have to get the community on side. We have a little shop, allegedly the smallest in yorkshire. This year we will be in a position where we will hopefully pay Business Rates more in line with what we can. We are probably in a better position this year than other sectors. Thats a success story. But other pubs are facing some big challenges. A revaluation of Business Rates in england and wales that comes into effect in april will affect many pubs and restaurants because they occupy prime real estate in town and city centres. Brigid simmons is Chief Executive of the british beer and pub association. Good morning. Good morning. Business rates. We heard from that pub, a success story, they do not have to pay it. How much of an issue is this for pubs around the country . They are paying 2. A of the total bill. This was a Turnover Tax Rate to 0. 5 . Pubs are rated by turnover because you have a beer garden that you never use according to square footage. That means they are paying so much more. What we are seen to the chancellor in this budget is you need to look at the business rate system. It needs a complete overhaul. We need to make sure that ina overhaul. We need to make sure that in a modern world everyone is paying their share. We care about the high streets, i do lots of work there. By the risen a point to care about them if you tax them out of existence. But there is a point where. It is punishing success. They revalued it. That is why many businesses are seeing changes. Many are seeing a fall in these Business Rates. That is true. The government has given support to reduce the Small Business rate. But i have got 2000 pubs that are paying a a0 increase. Is in a small increase for pubs means they will have to employ less staff, or really, not investing capital. And thatis really, not investing capital. And that is what increases your turnover. Is it as much of a squeeze as the campaign makes out . In the last year or so, there has been a renaissance. More pubs are opening up. Absolutely. We are opening up new paths. But we have the apprenticeship rates. Dont cut confidence by giving us a freeze. We need more help. We have enrolment in pensions automatically for small pubs. And we have inflation, especially with food. Pubs are hugely important. We serve 8 million meals a year. We want them to be enormously important. We want them to bea enormously important. We want them to be a success. What we are saying to be a success. What we are saying to the government is please help us a little bit more. Thank you so much. That is an argument we see a lot these days. We will hear from the chancellor what happens. Lot these days. We will hear from the chancellor what happenslj lot these days. We will hear from the chancellor what happens. I will have my business hat on to do all the coverage of that. 0k. Its been documenting some of great britains most important history for generations past and present, and this weekend, the Imperial War Museum celebrates its centenary year. A new exhibition looking at people who have struggled for peace over the last 100 years will mark the event, as our Special Correspondent robert hall can explain. Hes live for us, just over the canal from our studios, at the Imperial War Museum north. That is the image, actually, from where we are, just across the water. Good morning, robert. Good morning. Yeah, a big story to tell. In a way, the timeline of the Imperial War Museum is summed up in this display case. Here we have a group of items belonging to men who fought in the First World War. The stories of two men in the centre, one a bomber pilot, another eight minesweeper in the Second World War. A. And then the Second World War. A. And then the fusiliers who fought in the iraq war at the end. Just a handful of stories among so many in so many places around the uk. Its one of the worlds most famous institutions, aimed for school parties, historians, families, or simply the curious. Conflict, shocks, and fascinators, this story began a few miles from here with a Grand Ceremony in a cathedral of glass. By the time george v open the Imperial War Museum in its first home at the ill fated crystal palace, he already had plenty to see. The museum had begun collecting exhibits while the battle of the First World War was still raging. This is one of the ration books. From the outset, the founders set out to involve the public. Appeals printed in ration books brought a flood of personal memorabilia. The idea was initially that it was to be firstly a sort of memorial to the war, but primarily, it was to cover peoples experiences in the war, and that meant it covered everybody from the front line soldier to the munition Factory Worker to a civilian. The best way to illustrate how the Imperial War Museums have changed since the first collection was put together a century ago is to look at what they hold today. There are 155,000 exhibits, those are the larger items either on display or held in store, but there are well over 33 million documents, photographs and recordings, all of them helping to tell the stories around those exhibits. Here we are in the cabinet room. And thats churchills chair there. Joy hunter has shared her memories. Now 91, she typed the plans for d day here in Winston Churchills bunker, and she shook hands with World Leaders at the conference which debated the post war future of europe. I think museums do a wonderfuljob. And now that they are working like this one works, for instance, where everything is active and you can open doors and, you know, drop down mines and whatever you do, the whole place was abuzz when i came in. But reflecting the sad procession of conflicts still erupting around the globe and connecting with todays young people brings fresh challenges. The images of war and conflict that children see on Hollywood Movies or video games are very unusual in that, you know, theyll have bespoke knowledge of all these individual weapons systems, they will think people can jump from a tank to a plane to an infantry officer, and there is no understanding that thats not reality. In salford, every day brings a chance to reflect on the reality of war. Once an hour, the museum is filled with the faces and voices of those lived through an experience we can only share at a distance. The story which began a century ago has no ending. And we stay with those personal stories. This is notjust a tank, it is called the t3a. And i suppose in a way it liberated people. It went into service in the 19a0s. It helped to push the german army back. In fa ct, to push the german army back. In fact, it fought on into the terrible conflict in bosnia in the 1990s. A weird looking vehicle over here from zimbabwe in africa designed to reflect the force of mines. And they are another subject which caused enormous civilian deaths and impact on civilian populations. It is not just about soldiers and armies. And this is a symbol of liberation in berlin. More later on. But for now, back to the studio. Thank you very much. Looks like some great stuff to see there. It is time to get the news, travel, and weather, wherever you are. Hello, and good morning from bbc london news. Im alice salfield. Police continue to deal with a suspected World War Two bomb which was discovered in North West London. This unexploded device was found on a Building Site yesterday afternoon. Specialist officers from the army were drafted in last night to assess the scene. Some nearby schools will remain closed and the council say parents will be contacted directly. The council has warned that the site will not be made safe until at least this afternoon. Most londoners are due to see their council tax go up, as well as an increase in the supplement theyre charged for social care. Research by bbc london has found that 2a councils in the capital will raise council tax by up to 2 . It could mean an increase of around £60 a year on a Band D Property in some boroughs. Havering council says its Growing School aged and Elderly Population is the reason theyre putting it up. It means that we have to find a lot of extra money. We built into our budget £2 million increase for elderly adults and for child services. This year, even with that, we overspent by £2 million each. Lets have a look at the Travel Situation now. Starting with the tubes and no reported problems there at the moment. In Brondesbury Park, the avenue is closed between Willesden Lane and Brondesbury Park due to a wwii bomb being found there yesterday. The closure will remain in place until this afternoon. Lets have a check on the weather now, with elizabeth. Good morning. Yesterday afternoon was particularly glorious. But today, a very different day of weather indeed, in fact. We start with Plenty Of Rain around this morning during the morning rush hour. Then a wet start to the day drying out through the afternoon. It is a fairly mild start to the day. A lot of rain around. Plenty of Surface Water through the morning. Gradually the system will go north. By the time we get to midday, it should be much more dry towards southern home counties. It will continue longer in the north. Towards the south, parts of kent, surrey and essex, some late brightness. That will help to lift the temperature. 0therwise, highs of 11 12. Generally, a cloudy start to the day. Dry, but further showery outbreaks of rain through the overnight period. The weekend, starting with 8 9. More wet weather to come on saturday. An area of Pressure Swirling over us on sunday. It will give us more wet weather in Eastern Areas on saturday. Sunday, the winds will start to strengthen. Again, there will be more wet weather at times. Not a completely lost weekend. Drier and brighter interludes. I will be back later. See you soon. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Now, though, its back to steph and charlie. Hello, this is breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and steph mcgovern. A warning for patients in england about the risk of getting medication online. The Health Regulator says Companies May not be prescribing the right drugs, carrying out thorough checks, or have clinicians with the best qualifications. Good morning, it is friday 3 march. Also this morning 13 month old Poppi Worthington died in 2012. Today, a damning report into the investigation by Cumbria Police says they were unstructured and disorganised. Nearly 18 months on, a final report into the shoreham Airshow Disaster, where 11 people died, will be published today. The number of workers with controversial zero hours contracts has hit a record high. I will have more shortly on why it has grown so quickly. In sport murrays marathon tie break in the desert. It was 31 minutes before the world number one eventually won the tie break, and then the match, at the Dubai Championship quarter finals. And sarah has the weather from greenwich for us this morning. Good morning to you. It is a bit of a soggy, grey day outside but i am inside the now gallery and i am standing among 10,000 fresh irises here. We will look at these flowers a bit more through the morning and i will have a full forecast for you in about 15 minutes. Patients could be at risk of harm when buying medication on the internet. That is the warning from the Care Quality Commission. It comes after an investigation found firms may be prescribing unsuitable medication, failing to carry out thorough medical history checks, or employing clinicians without the best qualifications. The Healthcare Watchdog has for the first time published a set of guidelines for Online Companies offering Doctor Services in england. Andy moore reports. More than a0 Companies Offer online prescriptions in england, but today the cqc says they could be putting patients at risk. Dan is about to run out of his medicine. He can just visit treated. Com. It suspended the registration of this Online Company back in december, partially as a result of a bbc investigation which looked at its sale of antibiotics. The company said it has made many changes to its processes and systems, that will eventually satisfy the regulators. Get better get treated. Com. But the cqc is worried more widely about the safety of onLine Services. They say there is a risk of people being prescribed unsuitable medication, the treatment causing complications to existing health conditions, and a lack of monitoring of follow ups for patients. We have now looked at 11 providers, two of which have been published today, and we are quite shocked about what we have found. And indeed, in those other providers, weve also found some really serious problems, and those reports will be published over the next few weeks. For the first time, the cqc has published a clear set of standards for online doctors. They must verify patients match their photo id, such as through a skype check. They must get a comprehensive medical history, and seek permission to contact a patients gp. There will be a thorough inspection of all companies by the end of the year, but in the meantime, the official advice is to be very careful before you buy from an online doctor or pharmacy. We will speak to gp and broadcaster dr Faye Kirkland about what she found when she bought Prescription Medicine online. That is at 7 20. The Police Watchdog has published a critical report into how the cumbria force handled the death of 13 month old Poppi Worthington five years ago. The toddler was found seriously injured at her home. The independent Police Complaints Commission Says officers failed to adequately investigate whether she had been abused. Cumbria police says it accepts the reports criticism unreservedly. Chief constable Jeremy Graham of Cumbria Constabulary apologised for the forces failings. I am very clear that the initial investigation into Poppi Worthingtons death fell well short of what poppis family could have expected, and indeed should have expected, and i would like to give a heartfelt apology to poppis family for the inadequacies in Cumbria Constabularys initial investigation. The us Attorney General is removing himself from an fbi investigation into claims russia meddled in novembers president ial election. Jeff sessions has been under pressure to stand aside, after it emerged he met the Russian Ambassador during the course of the campaign. President trump insisted that mr sessions is an honest man, but said he could have been more accurate when questioned about his meetings with russian diplomats. Air Accident Investigators are publishing their final report into the shoreham Airshow Disaster. 11 people died when a Vintage Jet Performing A Loop Stunt crashed onto the a27 in august 2015. The report will not apportion blame, but will look at the cause of the crash and make safety recommendations. Duncan kennedy reports. This was the Hawker Hunterjet at the centre of the shoreham air crash, a key attraction at the show over the Sussex Seaside Town. But during one acrobatic manoeuvre this happened. The jet crashed by the a27, that ran alongside the showground. 11 men were killed. It was the worst Airshow Accident in britain in more than 60 years. Among those who died were two friends, Matthew Grimstone and jacob schilt, both 23, and both players for worthing united football club. The club vice chairman, mark sanderson, says the disaster continues to haunt all of those who knew the young men. We wear their names on our kit. So theyll always be remembered by us as great footballers, you know, first of all they were superb players, and as brilliant friends. The pilot of the jet was andy hill. He survived the crash with serious injuries. He is now the subject of a Police Investigation into possible manslaughter. Accident investigators had already published a number of preliminary reports. They said the jet was working normally, and that the shows organisers had not been aware of what mr hill intended to do during his aerial display. The Civil Aviation authority, which governs safety at britains air displays, has already brought in a number of changes following the shoreham air crash. It has increased the distance between the display and the crowds watching below, and also requires pilots to be Better Qualified before carrying out these acrobatic manoeuvres. Todays final report on the crash should answer both the what and the why this accident happened. One key aim will also be to give the victims families a full, final measure of understanding about the way loved ones died. Theresa may will make it clear that keeping scotland in the uk is a personal priority, when she addresses the Scottish Conservative Party conference later today. She will attempt to defuse calls for another referendum on independence. Lets get more detail now from our scotland correspondent lorna gordon, who is in glasgow for us this morning. Good morning to you. Yes, good morning. I think it is an important speech. There has been ramping up of the rhetoric on both sides this past week. Theresa may will say that as Prime Minister it is just as much priority that a young person in dundee has as many opportunities to fulfil their potential as a young person in doncaster, and she will say that politics is not a game. She will argue that the Snp Has Tunnel Vision over the issue of independence, and as a result are neglecting the day job independence, and as a result are neglecting the dayjob in areas of policy like health and education. The snp for their part would reject those accusations. All this has come about of course because of the brexit vote, that scotland voted differently and voted to stay in the United Kingdom, and people here voted to stay in the European Union whereas the United Kingdom as a whole voted to leave the European Union. Nicola sturgeon says the government at holyrood is seeking compromises at every turn on this issue but is being met by Obstinacy And Intransigent in its dealings ahead of the formal triggering, which is expected to take place later this month. Nicola sturgeon says a second referendum is, she believes, all but inevitable. In a bbc interview yesterday, theresa may wouldnt be drawn on the issue of whether she would grant permission for a second independence referendum to Ta Ke For A Second Independence Referendum to take place. For the moment, thank you. Scientists have created an artificial mouse embryo from stem cells for the first time. It is being hailed as a breakthrough which could help to improve human fertility treatments. Researchers at the University Of Cambridge hope to replicate the experiment with Artificial Human embryos, allowing them to carry out research beyond the current 1a day limit. The number of people on zero hours contracts has reached a record high, according to figures from the Resolution Foundation. Sean is here to explain what is going on. Yes, a pretty quick rise if you compare where we were at ten years ago or even three years ago. 910,000 people now on these contracts. In 2005 there were about 100,000, that is how much of an increase we have seen but what the Resolution Foundation have done is when you drill down into the figures you see at the end of the last half of last year that growth has slowed a lot so something has happened. We have seen very quick growth for the last few yea rs. Very quick growth for the last few years. Now, a few things might have happened there. One is that the Employment Rate in the uk is pretty high, record highs, all time. Workers might have a little bit more Ofa Bargaining Workers might have a little bit more of a Bargaining Chip when it comes to these contracts, because they are controversial contracts. They are ones where you have a deal with the company that you work whenever they wa nt company that you work whenever they want you to work but no guarantee of hours. The other thing, because of a controversy, it has not been great headlines for a lot of businesses and so some companies are trying to move away from these contracts and give some workers guaranteed hours. Counting will get under way later this morning for Northern Irelands Assembly election vote. Polls closed last night, with final results expected on saturday afternoon. It is the second time that Northern Ireland has had to choose a government in the space of ten months. This generation might not remember the troubles, Army Bomb Disposal teams have been working through the night to prepare for the removal of an unexploded Second World War bomb. It was discovered on a Building Site in North West London yesterday afternoon. Schools, businesses and homes were evacuated after police and fire crews were called to the scene. The council has warned the site wont be made safe until at least this afternoon. That brings you up to date with all of the main news stories this morning. Education leaders are warning that schools in england could be pushed to Breaking Point if a new Funding Formula goes ahead. In an interview with breakfast, the schools minister, nick gibb, insists that spending is at an all time high, but said that schools would have to help reduce the deficit. Jayne mccubbin joins us now. Jayne, many parents watching will have received letters from their childrens schools about these proposed changes, wont they . This is a tricky time for schools. Lots of those letters going out because the consultation over the changes to funding is happening right now. What we are talking about is to make things. The sum of money the government spends on education, but also how that sum of money is shared out. Right now what happens is that decisions on how it is shared out to children, those decisions are made by hundreds of different education authorities all over england, and the government says that that is not fair, because it leads to lots of different decisions. For example, they say a child in cornwall might receive funds of just child in cornwall might receive funds ofjust over £3000 a year. However, a child with exactly the same Educational Needs vaughan in devon might receive just under £5,000. They say this isnt unfair as to what they want to do with this. They want to centrally set a figure themselves for children all across the country, and then the government wants to then set extra, additional figures government wants to then set extra, additionalfigures to government wants to then set extra, additional figures to help combat things like deprivation, to help in schools where there are lots of children speaking english as a second language, and also they say that this will represent a fairer share of the pie for all but what critics say is that the pie just isnt big enough. What would be the first stage of that one . In this maths class in wokingham, a Parent Volunteer helps out. Mrs walsh, one of a growing number of those who give up their time to help fill gaps. Are you happy to do it . Yes. Theres a lot more required these days. And that is financial help as well. Parents here pay a regular monthly £5 sum to help make ends meet. Why should we have to ask them for more . That just isnt right, and i dont like doing it. Here, the head teacher is inviting us in to give us a very honest insight into why they have to ask. We will lose 8 . Rising costs means all schools will lose on average 8 in the next three years. But under the new system, just under half of schools, including this one, would gain on average 3 . That leaves a shortfall. And the school has already lost. Three years ago, they were in the black. The next year they slipped into the red. And today . Nearly £30,000. Yes, a nearly £30,000 deficit. It is already having a knock on effect. Some of my children, already they are struggling a bit, and they have less help this year than last year. And thats the honest truth. All of those things that i could shave, i have shaved. And still, we cannot get to a balanced budget. It is an impossibility. In poynton, a school which stands to lose under current proposals, and they say the have already lost 1a full time positions. This is a cliff edge. And i hearfrom other schools around the country they are having to make these unpalatable decisions. Theyre closing their sixth forms. Theyre stopping their curriculums. Theyre not going to run technology or art. These kinds of things willjust disappear from the curriculum. The Department For Education say they have protected schools until now, but now school cuts are inevitable. Were introducing a much fairer system, where funding goes to schools, and it reflects the needs of the pupils at that school. But fair doesnt mean affordable. Fair doesnt mean schools will balance their books. School funding is as high as it has ever been. But that is not enough to cover those increased costs. We expect them to absorb those, because we all have to contribute to the task of delivering a reduction in the deficit. But Overall School funding is at an all time level of £a0 billion a year, and it will go to £a2 billion year as Pupil Numbers rise by 2019 and 2020. But it isnt enough. As i said, it should be enough. Should be enough. Efficiencies, he believes, should still be found. The association of school and College Leaders disagree. They say many schools will be pushed to Breaking Point under new proposals, consultation for which ends on the 22nd. Yes, they say they have the maths wrong. They say it is just too small. If this goes ahead, schools will have to plunder the cash set aside for special education needs. They will have to take money out of their to prop up the basic running of the school. The minister said nothing is set in stone. Now is the time to raise these concerns. In scotla nd time to raise these concerns. In scotland and wales, the system is Similarto Scotland and wales, the system is similar to here. Funding scotland and wales, the system is similarto here. Funding is distributed by authorities. What is interesting is that scotland are having a review right now. They want to give much more control to schools to give much more control to schools to make up their minds about how funding is shared out and distributed either themselves. Here, the Consultation Ends on the 22nd. Jane mccubbin, thank you. Sarah is out and about with the weather for us this morning in search of the first flowers of spring. A beautiful Art Installation.

Websites that sell Prescription Medicines can seem a tempting alternative to visiting a gp, especially if youre having problems getting a suitable doctors appointment. But theres a warning these on Line Services are putting patients at risk. Thats according to the Health Regulator in england, the Care Quality Commission. Dr Faye Kirkland a gp and broadcaster will join us in the studio in a minute. First lets see her investigation into these sites. 283 different drugs available for 77 medical problems. No examination is needed. Just an on line form reviewed by one of the doctors and Prescription Medication delivered to your door with in 2a hours. What the site does not tell you is that this company was suspended by the Cqc In December Last year. Their headquarters are behind me in bolton. Last year, as part of their investigation, we went on their website and ordered antibiotics. We posed as a man and said we had ear painfor posed as a man and said we had Ear Pain Forjust a couple of days. Halfway through the form they started asking us questions about being a woman. Now, this raises significant problems about identity checks. Then they sent this medication through the post to treat the ear pain. As a gp, i can tell you i have never given it for this addition, as it simply would not work. It would kill the bugs that typically caused ear infections. This is worried the cqc, the watchdog for on line describing services. They contacted the business, and another on line provider, md direct. The report today highlights problems with both, as you can see here. They told us they are now working to improve their processes. The error with the medication we received was due to a system glitch. Following this, md direct cancelled its registration. The Care Quality Commission has looked at a quarter of these in england. We have looked at 11 of these providers. The first two reports will be published today and they are shocking. I really understand the difficulties the public have because the websites look incredibly professional. But the registration with the Care Quality Commission is really important. And we are now inspecting all of those suspect sites. And there is another concern. The sale of antibiotics on these sites. As bacteria becomes resistant, this becomes an effective. This is a worry to this person, who led the review into how antibiotics should be used when and how. We need to stop using them as sweet. We need to be more tough and disciplined about how they are used. Our review shows that if you carry on in the same path around the world, in 30 years, 10 Million People will be ill or dying. This is one of many steps that are needed. I really welcome what you have done. For the first time, the cqc has published a clear set of standards for these on Line Providers to be for example, they must verify patients match their idea. They must get a comprehensive medical history and seek permission with the gdp. Medical history and seek permission with the gdp. Id. Gp. The cqc will have looked at all of them by the end of this year. But until then, the message is clear. It is better to buy with caution. That was gp and broadcaster, dr Faye Kirkland reporting. She joins us now in the studio. You can understand why people buy on line. It is easy. But it is easy to make mistakes and get duped into buying things that are offer you. What is happening with this . There is no accurate number of people who are using these sites. One of the on line sites had 3000 people suspected to be using the website in the last 12 months. That is a lot of patients because there is only one Doctor Prescribing for that site. Across the whole of the uk, no one really knows. You are a gp. That is your dayjob. When you see someone you obviously have a dialogue. You have a history and you chat with them. Talk is about the risks attached with separating out this racist. He could process. He could accidentally give something that would interact with normal drugs. That could be serious and fatal. If you go back multiple times, the sites pick that up. One gave repeated prescriptions for urine infection. That could be a sign of Something Like cancer, but the website would not pick that up. Something like cancer, but the website would not pick that upm there any advice you have for people in terms of what they should do if they are struggling to get an appointment with their gp and they are doing a bit of research on line . The Care Quality Commission today has released guidance. They say look at whether the website is registered, is it in the uk, if it is in england, and if they are, are they registered with the Care Quality Commission . You can do a check with a general medical council. And you have to be asked for id. That is really important. Thank you for your time this morning. Thank you.

And it is important to get the guys that we feel who are going to be playing a part in the champions trophy here. The European Indoor Championships get under way later this morning in serbia, and there are plenty of british hopefuls, with their eyes firmly trained on winning medals. Paula radcliffe and colinjackson are no stranger to athletic triumphs themselves. They are hosting live coverage of the competition, and they are with us from belgrade to talk through which athletes are the ones to watch. Hi, paula and colin. Great to see you both, thank you for joining us. Starting with you, paul. 0ne joining us. Starting with you, paul. One of the first athlete in action this morning is one of britains main hopes, the lovely story of laura muir, whojuggles training with treating animals as a vet. And shejuggles it very with treating animals as a vet. And she juggles it very well and is coming into these championships looking to take a big step up. I think laura needs to come away from here with two medals, preferably with two gold medals, she is very capable of it and that will give her confidence a huge boost going into the World Championships in the summer. Colin, turning to you, what is different about competing indoors . Is the noise and atmosphere more intense and special, do you think . It is very unique running indoors. I think the fact that crowded so very close to you, its spurs you want and that really magical way. You really feel like you are performing for an audience andi you are performing for an audience and i think thats why many of the athletes really enjoy coming indoors, and hence we sometimes have indoors, and hence we sometimes have indoor specialists because they enjoy the environment so much. Another one with high hopes you will be watching his and drew potse, in the hurdles. Yes, andrew is very special indeed. He is the world leader with 7. A3, just ahead of his major rival in europe but it will be a good race for him. It has been a long time, he has been trying to deal with so many injuries, and is only a young athlete so you can imagine he still has a Bright Future and this is his real opportunity to step up and win a major title. What other names might we be looking out for . The great thing about these championships is there are always some at wits under the radar who come to the fore. We have the likes of young nelson who is going to start the a00m really taking a big step forward already this evening, and can on that hugely here. U nfortu nately and can on that hugely here. Unfortunately her sister lena not able to take part, with an injury. We have young Kyle Langford going in the 800 metre heats, Austin Clarke in the womens heats, and backing up laura muir, who is doubling up, she has to run heats of the 3,000m this morning and a. 5 hours later comeback for a 1500 meet where she goes with sarah mcdonald, hoping to qualify for the 1500 metre final, so a tough day for her, she has Eilish Mccolgan for company in the 3000 metre heats this morning. Give us a sense about the whole build up, the way athletics works. We have the indoor championships coming up, the World Championships, and then the next 0lympics further ahead. Where are Theyin 0lympics further ahead. Where are they in their cycle right now, the athletes . Yes, it is an interesting question. Many people may use the indoorsjust as question. Many people may use the indoors just as preparation for the outdoors and some people will use it more as a specialist where they can perform and win major medals so depending on where you are in your preparations and where your mindset is and where you really feel like your goals are going to be set, as your goals are going to be set, as you know, many of the top sprinters in the world, for example, never run indoors. I dont think you ever see usain bolt run indoors, he focuses on the outdoor season. I am not sure he would do a bad job indoors, but he would do a bad job indoors, but he chooses to focus on the outdoors. It is all about how they choose to prepare and move forward. We look forward to further Coverage Later on this morning with you guys. Live coverage of the European Indoor Championships starts in about half an hour over on bbc two, and you can catch up on all the weekends action on the bbc sport website. 0ne name sadly missing, the nielsen twins, they are competing in the same event, the a00m, but overnight they have had to withdraw with an injury.

Not that its all in the papers, but unfortunately they are missing. You are watching breakfast from bbc news. The main stories this morning patients could be at risk of harm when buying medication on the internet. That is the warning from the Healthcare Watchdog, the Care Quality Commission. A report into the death of 13 month old Poppi Worthington has said the investigation by Cumbria Police was not fit for purpose. Sarah is out and about with the weather for us this morning. She has moved from the indoors of the art gallery to the outside. What a great view of canary wharf and the millennium building. A bit of a 599y millennium building. A bit of a soggy view this morning. Grey skies above the london skyline, and i am on the roof of the the now gallery on the roof of the the now gallery on the roof of the the now gallery on the Greenwich Peninsula. And we have some beautiful suspended irises hanging from the ceiling, but upon the roof it is not feeling too springlike this morning. We have a lot of clout around, outbreaks of drizzly rain and a similar picture across many parts of the country. We have rain around today and through the course of the weekend. If we ta ke the course of the weekend. If we take a look at this mornings weather, at 9am a few showers in the far north of scotland but for northern end Central Scotland a clear and frosty start to the warning. Light rain for the south west of scotland, some hill snow as well but the North East Of England mostly dry. Heading down to east anglia and the south east, outbreaks of rain on and off through the morning and the wind becoming more of a feature as well, especially across the south coast, some pretty brisk and gusty winds and some heavy bursts of rain across the South West Of England. Also raining across southern and central parts of wales at 9am this morning. I think the north wales getting away with a largely dry start to the day, as does much of Northern England, but we will see that rain pushing in from the south and as we have our way northwards across the Northern Ireland, some of that rain will be falling as some sleet, perhaps even some snow, on top of the highest ground. As we look through the country through the course of the day, that rain across southern areas pushes its way northwards, so rain heading into parts of Northern England by around lunchtime. There will be some clear and brighter weather moving in from the south east later on in the day and the northern half of scotland keeps a bit of sunshine through the day. The Contrasting Temperatures. Some places just five or six in the north whereas further south we are likely to see 11 or 12 celsius. Through the evening and overnight, we will continue with that band of rain pushing slowly northwards across the country. Turning the hill snow as it comes into that cold air across the hills of scotland. So a wet night across many northern areas. England and wales not quite as wet at temperatures certainly mild and still frost free here although we could see A Touch Of Frost across scotla nd could see A Touch Of Frost across Scotland First thing saturday morning. So the start of the weekend we have that rain with us across much of scotland, Northern Ireland as well. Some hill snow and some blustery winds. The england and wales are drier sort of day. Still some showers particularly around the east coast but equally a bit of sunshine and temperatures generally around seven to 11 degrees for most of us. Low Pressure Stays with us through the weekend so for sunday, a weather front bringing outbreaks of rain west to east across england and wales, quite blustery as well, quite blustery for scotland and Northern England but still wet and windy to the north east of scotland and temperatures generally around seven to 11 degrees during the course of sunday. So it is a changeable outlook on the cards over the next few days. Weve got some rain, we got some brisk winds as well, but most of us should see a little bit of sunshine at least for one of the day through the weekend. Much, we will see you shortly. It sounds unsettled. The pub industry has been under financial pressure for a number of years, and Pub Landlords are now weighing down on the chancellor. It is not the first time we have talked about problems for the pub industry. Theyre asking him to take action in next weeks budget to help struggling pubs with the planned hike in Business Rates. Seans taking a look. Good businesses survive. There are many pubs out there, and we will talk about one success now. The plight of our pubs is often talked about and according to the Campaign For Real Ale over 20 pubs are closing every week. One that did close back in 2008 was the George And Dragon in hudswell, North Yorkshire. But its been brought back to life by its community, and has even added a shop and library to keep the customers coming. Today, itll be named pub of the year. We took over running the pub injuly, 201a. The pub is the hub of the village. It is the centre. It is where everyone gets together. Most shareholders in the club, 205 different shareholders currently, they are not be day to day drinkers used to get. We have diversified. We have to get the community on side. We have a little shop, allegedly the smallest in yorkshire. This year we will be in a position where we will hopefully not have to pay Business Rates. We are probably in a better position this year than other sectors. Thats a success story. But other pubs are facing some big challenges. We can talk to tom from the Campaign For Real Ale. Good we can talk to tom from the campaign for realale. Good pubs we can talk to tom from the Campaign For Real Ale. Good pubs are we can talk to tom from the campaign for realale. Good pubs are being penalised. Business rates are going up penalised. Business rates are going up massively, almost by 200 in some cases. It is based on a turnover. You get the George And Dragon. It has been resurrected. You are seeing Business Rates which make a difference for the turnover. We talk a lot about the number of pubs closing every week. It feels like that figure is coming down. Has there been a bit of a renaissance in there been a bit of a renaissance in the pub industry in the last year or so . The number has come down to 21 a week. But that figure is pretty alarming. There is so much pressure on pubs. There is the tax. Another budget measure of the beer tax. 900,000 people are employed around the country and it brings in a lot of money. Do you think the price of beer, regardless of tax, has gone up too much . Sometimes you can have a fiver for too much . Sometimes you can have a fiverfor a can too much . Sometimes you can have a fiver for a can of something tasty, but with craft, it is a lot of money. I think so. But with craft, it is a lot of money. Ithink so. Because but with craft, it is a lot of money. I think so. Because of the tax rates and the Business Rates and all these other pressures, pubs have had to fight hard to get some support to businesses which bring so much to communities. How much can we learn from the experience of the pub there who have opened up a library within the pub itself . I know there are many issues, but you need to be entrepreneurial. You need to change along with the world. Absolutely. Many pubs get together when they see a loss and they tried to find a way to revitalise it. But it shows that pubs need to do a bit more and recognise who is coming in and who are their customers. They need to keep that community value. Thank you very much, tom. I am off to the library later. I am very much, tom. I am off to the library later. Iam not very much, tom. I am off to the library later. I am not telling you where it is, but it might be in a pub. It is thirsty work. Its been documenting some of great britains most important history for generations past and present, and this weekend, the Imperial War Museum celebrates its centenary year. A new exhibition looking at people who have struggled for peace over the last 100 years will mark the event, as our Special Correspondent robert hall can explain. Hes live for us, just over the canal from our studios, at the Imperial War Museum north. That is the image, actually, from where we are, just across the water. Good morning, robert. Good morning. Yeah, talking about the Imperial War Museum, it probably conjures up images of this kind of stuff, guns and tanks and uniforms. But from the very beginning, it has been about more than military hardware, it has been about people. Its one of the worlds most famous institutions, aimed for school parties, historians, families, or simply the curious. Conflict, shocks, and fascinators, this story began a few miles from here with a Grand Ceremony in a cathedral of glass. By the time george v open the Imperial War Museum in its first home at the ill fated crystal palace, he already had plenty to see. The museum had begun collecting exhibits while the battles of the First World War was still raging. This is one of the ration books. From the outset, the founders set out to involve the public. Appeals printed in ration books brought a flood of personal memorabilia. The idea was initially that it was to be firstly a sort of memorial to the war, but primarily, it was to cover peoples experiences in the war, and that meant it covered everybody from the front line soldier to the munition Factory Worker to a civilian. The best way to illustrate how the Imperial War Museums have changed since the first collection was put together a century ago is to look at what they hold today. There are 155,000 exhibits, those are the larger items either on display or held in store, but there are well over 33 million documents, photographs and recordings, all of them helping to tell the stories around those exhibits. Here we are in the cabinet room. And thats churchills chair there. Joy hunter has shared her memories. Now 91, she typed the plans for d day here in Winston Churchills bunker, and she shook hands with World Leaders at the conference which debated the post war future of europe. I think museums do a wonderfuljob. And now that they are working like this one works, for instance, where everything is active and you can open doors and, you know, drop down mines and whatever you do, the whole place was abuzz when i came in. But reflecting the sad procession of conflicts still erupting around the globe and connecting with todays young people brings fresh challenges. The images of war and conflict that children see on Hollywood Movies or video games are very unusual in that, you know, theyll have bespoke knowledge of all these individual weapons systems, they will think people can jump from a tank to a plane to an infantry officer, and there is no understanding that thats not reality. In salford, every day brings a chance to reflect on the reality of war. Once an hour, the museum is filled with the faces and voices of those lived through an experience we can only share at a distance. The story which began a century ago has no ending. I suppose in a way, conflict and war is all around us every single day. In the past, of course, it was perhaps restricted to these newspaper headlines. Articles in printed publications. It was part of our life as children. I certainly remember a lot of the items in that display case there. We watched war films and steel watch them. In fact, our interest in war has boomed due to the explosion in social media. All of a sudden, you can follow your own personal, or your familys, all of a sudden, you can follow your own personal, or yourfamilys, war history. You can go to the battlefields around the world. What the Imperial War Museum is, five of them around the uk now, like to do is tap into that. As you heard in the report, the challenge is to try to separate the image of war, perhaps, through computer games, that children are getting now, and to enable them to see the reality is. And they are stark, as you saw in the display. Every hour, people sit and it is silent and the pictures and images surround them. It isa pictures and images surround them. It is a way of drawing them into the war. And very sadly, as you saw in that report, there is no end to that story. Thank you very much, robert. Fascinating to see so much of it. See you in a bit. Lets go to the camerasjust outside. See you in a bit. Lets go to the cameras just outside. A gathering see you in a bit. Lets go to the camerasjust outside. A gathering of dogs outside. The reason we are looking at them is that there is a question, how many dogs should a dog walker be allowed to walk at a time . The rules say no more than six. 0ne local authority says it should be no more than four because that is the number you can be in control of at any one. We have gathered some dog owners and dog walkers today to talk about this. Some are getting in touch already. Many people have an opinion. Alan says clearly it depends. Six yorkshire terriers are different to great danes. I would support a licensing system. We will be talking through some of those issues a little later on and going outdoors as well. I am going to get my coat on and head out to give them a little bit of a pet. Hopefully it doesnt rain. Time to get the news, travel, and weather, wherever you are.

Generally, a cloudy start to the day. Certainly drier, but further showery outbreaks of rain through the overnight period. We start off the weekend with 8 9. More wet weather to come on saturday. An area of Pressure Swirling over us on sunday. It will give us more wet weather in Eastern Areas in particular on saturday. Sunday, the winds will start to strengthen. Again, there will be more wet weather at times. Not a completely washout on the weekend. Drier and brighter interludes. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.

Well be joined by some Furry Friends to find out. And sarah has the weather from greenwich for us this morning. Good morning, im here on the roof of the gallery on the Greenwich Peninsula, well be looking at an Art Installation here at 10,000 hanging irises but for now it is a 599y hanging irises but for now it is a soggy scene and i will have a full forecast in about 15 minutes. Good morning. First our main story. A damning report by the Police Watchdog into the cumbrian force investigating the death of 13 month old Poppi Worthington has revealed a catalogue of failures. The independent Police Complaints Commission Said senior detectives were unstructured and disorganised. 0ur reporter sangita myskarjoins us from our london newsroom. This is a highly critical report of Cumbria Police by the ipcc and they reached several conclusions, amongst them that the police failed to investigate abuse claims against poppi properly, that they allowed evidence to be thrown away and, crucially, that they send the wrong information to the coroner. The Cumbria Police force has already making made a statement, saying they let poppi down and the chief co nsta ble they let poppi down and the Chief Constable made this statement. Im very clear that the initial investigation into Poppi Worthingtons death fell well short of what her family could have expected and should have expected andl expected and should have expected and i would like to give our heartfelt apology to poppis amelie to the inaccuracies family for the inadequacies in the investigation. The report has concluded there was enough information on day one to arrest poppis father of the claims of sexual abuse and the Cumbria Police have apologised for not doing that but i should remind viewers that earlier a family courtjudge concluded that mr worthington was probably responsible for abusing her before her death. He had been arrested eight months after her death but no charges were ever brought. I ought to save that he has throughout strenuously denied any claims of wrongdoing against him. Poppis mother is now said she feels badly let down and there will be a second inquest into her death this summer. Thank you. Patients could be at risk of harm when buying medication on the internet thats the warning from the Care Quality Commission. It comes after an investigation found firms may be prescribing unsuitable medication, failing to carry out thorough medical history checks or employing clinicians without the best qualifications. The Healthcare Watchdog has, for the first time, published a set of guidelines for Online Companies offering Doctor Services in england. Andy moore reports. More than a0 Companies Offer online prescriptions in england, but today the cqc says they could be putting patients at risk. Dan is about to run out of his medicine. He can just visit treated. Com. It suspended the registration of this Online Company back in december, partially as a result of a bbc investigation which looked at its sale of antibiotics. The company said it has made many changes to its processes and systems, that will eventually satisfy the regulators. Get better get treated. Com. But the cqc is worried more widely about the safety of onLine Services. They say there is a risk of people being prescribed unsuitable medication, the treatment causing complications to existing health conditions, and a lack of monitoring of follow ups for patients. We have now looked at 11 providers, two of which have been published today, and we are quite shocked about what weve found. And indeed, in those other providers, weve also found some really serious problems, and those reports will be published over the next few weeks. For the first time, the cqc has published a clear set of standards for online doctors. They must verify patients match their photo id, such as through a skype check. They must get a comprehensive medical history, and seek permission to contact a patients gp. There will be a thorough inspection of all companies by the end of the year, but in the meantime, the official advice is to be very careful before you buy from an online doctor or pharmacy.

The air Accidents Investigation branch will today publish its final Safety Report on the shoreham Airshow Disaster, in which 11 people were killed. A vintage jet was performing aerobatics when it crashed on to a busy road in west sussex in august 2015. The report will not apportion blame, but will look at why it happened and make safety recommendations. Theresa may will make it clear that keeping scotland in the uk is a personal priority when she addresses the Scottish Conservative Party conference in glasgow later today. Shell attempt to defuse calls for another referendum on independence. Scotlands first minister, nicola sturgeon, has said she believes she has a Cast Iron Mandate to hold a second ballot after scotland overwhelmingly voted to remain in the eu. Speaking to the bbcs reporting Scotland Programme ahead ahead of the speech, mrs may accused the snp of having Tunnel Vision over independence. I think, in 201a, the people of scotland voted to stay within the United Kingdom. It was described by the snp as a once in a Generation Vote that took place at that time. I dont think people want a referendum today. To me, to me politics isnt a game. To me, politics is about peoples lives. Its about delivering for people on the issues that really matter to them, on a day to day basis, and i cant help but feel that the Snp Has Tunnel Vision about independence. Actually, i think what people want is for the snp government to get on with dealing with the issues they want to see addressed, on a day to day basis. The number of people on zero hours contracts has reached a record high according to figures from the Resolution Foundation. We have talked about them a lot on how controversial they are and it feels like a bit of a surprise that are ata feels like a bit of a surprise that are at a record high. It depends on the time period, 910,000 people is a record high and if you compare that to 2005, only 100,000 people were on these contracts then so it is a big increase but if you look at the last half of last year, it has grown pretty slowly so something has happened in that world that means it has not grown as quickly. That is partly down to the back we are at record employment in the uk almost across the country so that workers might have a bit more of a Bargaining Chip when they are talking about contracts with their companies or where they want to work because these sera are contracts have been controversial because you are not guaranteed any hours of work and companies, too many some say, had been employed people for too many hours without giving them as many hours without giving them as many rights and companies have not like the repetition they had been gathering and i may be looking to guarantee a few more hours. Thank you very much. Counting will get underway later this morning for Northern Irelands Assembly election vote. Polls closed last night with final results expected on saturday afternoon. Its the second time that Northern Ireland has had to choose a government in the space of 10 months. Chris buckler reports from belfast. This generation might not remember the troubles, but elections in Northern Ireland tend to expose old divisions, and once the results of this vote are known, the challenge could be holding on to Power Sharing. The Dups Arlene Foster led her party into this election, following a bitter fallout with irish republicans. Over the last few weeks, harsh words have been exchanged between mrs foster and the new sinn fein leader, michelle 0neill. That has led some to question whether they will be heading back into government together any time soon. In the last assembly election, which was, remember, less than a year ago, the dup returned as the biggest party, winning 38 of the 108 seats. While sinn fein were in second place, with 28 Assembly Members. The opposition parties, the sdlp, the ulster unionists, and the alliance, will all hope to increase their share of the vote this time, and that is true for the smaller parties too. But actually gaining seats could be difficult, because the number of Assembly Members is being reduced from 108 to just 90. The strength of each of the parties is likely to be important in the inevitable negotiations, to try to get a deal that would allow Power Sharing the return to stormont. Chris buckler, bbc news, belfast. Army bomb disposal teams have been working through the night to prepare for the removal of an unexploded Second World War bomb. It was discovered on a Building Site in North West London yesterday afternoon. Schools, businesses and homes were evacuated after police and fire crews were called to the scene. The councils warned the site wont be made safe until at least this afternoon. Many people will remember these pictures from the shoreham air crash that happened 18 months ago. Eleven people, all men, died that day. Among them two 23 year old worthing united footballers on their way to a match, and a 76 year old chauffeur who was driving to collect a bride on her wedding day. It was the worst Airshow Accident in the uk in more than 60 years and today those who lost loved ones hope to get a fuller understanding of what happened on that august afternoon. Accident investigators have already published a number of preliminary reports and we know already the crash happened during an aerobatic manoeuvre. Investigators said the weather was fine and the jet was working normally. But they said the shows organisers hadnt been aware of what the pilot had intended to do during his aerial display. The pilot of the jet was andy hill. He was left with serious injuries after the crash and is now the subject of a Police Investigation. Joining us from reading isjim morris, an Aviation Lawyer who represented the families when the accident happened. It has been nearly 18 months since this terrible accident happened. I know you are in contact with the families of those who lost loved ones. Tell us how they have been coping over this time . As you can imagine, it was a horrendous experience for the families and victims. Any air accident investigation takes time so the publication this final report today is extremely important to them to try to understand and fit together the final pieces of this jigsaw puzzle. And how are they feeling about it today . With trepidation obviously, and they need to be able to digest the contents of the report. We expect the report to focus on the aerobatic sequence and the on board video cameras to try to understand and analyse what went wrong with this sequence. Do you think they will get the answers they need . It is difficult to say at this point in time because the report is not going to be published until midday. But the three reports that the Air Accident Investigators have published so far have been very thorough so the families and i expect a thorough analysis in the final report of the outstanding matters. And as well as being a lawyer, you are former raf pilot and i know you have organised as shows yourself. Have you ever seen anything like this before . No, as you said, this is the worst tesche accident in decades the worst Airshow Accident. Clearly some very important lessons need to be learned. There have been a number of recommendations already made by the Air Accident Investigators and this final report, the additional analysis of the aerobatic sequence and the other evidence available will hopefully provide a full picture of the full chain of events so that the Civil Aviation authority, airshow organisers, pilots and operators can learn all the necessary lessons to prevent this from ever happening again. Thank you very much for your time this morning. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news. The main stories this morning. Patients could be at risk of harm when buying medication on the internet thats the warning from the Healthcare Watchdog the Care Quality Commission. A report into the death of 13 month old Poppi Worthington has said the investigation by Cumbria Police was not fit for purpose. Sarah is out and about with the weather for us this morning, in search of the first flowers of spring. That is right. We have some beautiful Spring Flowers here, im at the now gallery, i am among this amazing Art Installation. It is by the artist rebecca law and it involves 10,000 fresh iris, they have suspended hanging by a copper wire. It took the team here at the gallery round about five days to really create this amazing installation. It gives the sense that the flowers are suspended floating in midair. They will be here until 7th may so they will change in how they look, how they smell as well. They will be left to wither out and to dry out too. In about half an hour, we will talk in more depth with the curator of the gallery. She will tell us more about the design and why we are here as well on the Greenwich Peninsula. If you are hoping to head out and see the Spring Flowers outside today, its a bit of a mixed scene out there to start the day. We have. Some rain round today and in fact things are looking unsettled through the course of the week. Through this morning across the far north one or two showers but for much of northern and Central Scotland, it is a cold frosty but bright start to the morning, a bit of rain and hill snow to the south west of scotland, but as we move down to the North East Of England largely clear and dry at 9. 00 in the morning but further south east angela and the south east, we have got the rain thatis south east, we have got the rain that is already set in and there will be continuing outbreaks of rain through the morning, strong blustery winds as we move along the south coast. So for the South West Of England into southern and central wales, outbreaks of rain, heavy at Times Combined with blustery winds. It is drierfor the Times Combined with blustery winds. It is drier for the north of wales and Northern England too, but as we move and Northern England too, but as we m ove a cross and Northern England too, but as we move across to Northern Ireland, it is looking cloudy, outbreaks of rain perhaps some sleety snow on top of the highest ground. So heading through the course of today, all that cloud and rain in southern areas pushes further north, so by round the middle of the day we see that rain heading in across Northern England, still wet in Northern Ireland too. There will be some drier and brighter weather, just pushing into the south east later in the day. Mild here, round about 11 or1. The day. Mild here, round about 11 or 1. Further north in scotland, its a colder feeling day, or 1. Further north in scotland, its a colderfeeling day, some of us its a colderfeeling day, some of us not getting above five or six celsius. Through this evening and overnight we will continue to see that band of rain, even some hill snow in scotland. England and wales will dry out somewhat overnight. There will be a few showers, mild in the south, eight or nine degree, further north we could see A Touch Of Frost, particularly in the northern half of scotland. So when we start saturday morning, we have got that rain across scotland, Northern Ireland, continuing to push north wards, bringing hill snow and wind, so wet weather in the north. England and wales will see an improving story. Some sunshine, a few showers, particularly to the east and temperatures ranging between round about seven to 11 degrees for most of us. And low pressure still with us on into the second half of the weekend, so for sunday, some rain pushing west to east across much of england and wales, wet and windy weather in the north and east of scotland but it will be a drier day for scotland, Northern Ireland, parts of wales too. Not a complete write off but all in all things are looking u nsettled all in all things are looking unsettled with rain at times for most of us through the weekend. Back to you both. Do you reckon it is good for swimming outdoors today . Do you reckon it is good for swimming outdoors today7m do you reckon it is good for swimming outdoors today . It could be. 0nce swimming outdoors today . It could be. Once you are under water it doesnt even make a difference what is happening in the skies. Very good point. The question is what is in the water when you are under water . Its an antisocial act that normally goes under the radar, but many have long suspected the truth people do wee in public pools. Yes, scientists who developed a new test and carried out random checks in canada found urine in 100 of their samples. So is it something we sneakily do but would never admit to . We asked people in manchester what they thought. Kids wee in pools, i think thats like a common thing, but yes, its a bit grim, really. It wouldnt put me off. It wouldnt put my sending the kids to the swimming baths, but its not a nice thing. I think its kind of yucky. Well, i dont do that, not in the Swimming Pools. We can do it in the sea, but not in the Swimming Pool. Its not ideal. I feel like the sea is acceptable, Swimming Pool maybe not. She does agree. Dont do it in the Swimming Pool, but the sea youre allowed. No, not since i was probably about seven, i definitely havent. Because i think i wouldnt, definitely wouldnt want to swim afterwards either, so why would you want someone else to do that . No, definitely not. I always get out. I always drag the children out as well, dont let them do it either. No absolutely not. Never. Joining us now is in the studio is former 0lympic swimmer steve parry, and from our london newsroom, scientist fran scott. Welcome to breakfast. Thank you very much forjoining us. Fran, let me start with you. One of the question is, is it healthy to swim ina the question is, is it healthy to swim in a pool that people have weed . . Well, there is a lot of evidence from history that youre in isnt that bad for you, so in 18th century france people used to do youre in baths so bathe in youre m, youre in baths so bathe in youre in, it has been said that it can be good for spot, because it has anti fungal and anti Bacterial Properties be and madonna believe it or not is rumoured to have admitted she wees in the shower. So you might think it is not too bad for you. Excuse me. But the thing is, in terms of weeing in a pool, like the lady said weeing in the sea perhaps 0k. Weeing in a pool is a bit different. What happens is the nitrogen containing compounds in the wee react with the chlorine, in the pool wee react with the chlorine, in the pool, so produce what is known as disinfection by products and they can be bad for health. Which is why they were doing this study. At the moment the levels produced are absolutely completely safe. They are less tha n absolutely completely safe. They are less than half than the maximum that the World Health Organisation says it isa the World Health Organisation says it is a dangerous level so they are safe but they could be dangerous if we do keep on weeing in our pools. Steve, you spent more time than most of news a Swimming Pool 678 half your life. Swimming of news a Swimming Pool 678 half yourlife. Swimming up of news a Swimming Pool 678 half your life. Swimming up and down, did your life. Swimming up and down, did you just forget about it, not think about it . After reading this report, lam about it . After reading this report, i am surprised there is not more, i think they said there is like a dustbin in an 8,000 litre pool. I thought all people weed in a pool. Professional swimmers dont have time to get out. We saw people there, everyone was saying no, never done it. We know they have. If people asked themselves the question they are having a little tinkle in they are having a little tinkle in the water. Come on. a lot were saying yes, kids, we understand that, but when you are a grown up . Yes, i think the idea of, you that, but when you are a grown up . Yes, ithink the idea of, you know, 20 of people admit to it so probably half do. That is why they put chlorine in the pool. But on an important point, that is why they ask people to go to the toilet before they get in so they dont need to go when they are in and they ask people to take showers, but this is our most popular sport, in the country, and i want to make the point, this is safe, you know, i know we are having fun about this, it is safe to do, and i dont worry about those levels, you talk about 0. 01 in the water. It is not a big deal. We have had a lot of comments, mixed views on it. Gina, an ex pool cleaner who says yes they do. You can watch the ph level drop when loads of kids get in. I am sure when i was little they used to tell us that they were going to put special stuff in the pool, that if you did it would dai the water round you so there would be a trace. Dye. I remember that. Is that an urban myth . It is just remember that. Is that an urban myth . It isjust to put people off. It has propagated through the years and people say there was a celebrity who did a prank. It is a myth. There is, there could be a dye they could add but it isnt added. There is no way to be able to, detect the youre m, way to be able to, detect the youre in, it might detect sweat or other things so it might have false positives which no one wants to be staired at saying they have weed in the pool. Of course even if it doesnt dye it you notice because it goes warmer round you. Who are you swimming with . the point you were making about the Health Benefits of swimming, the point here is that almost any activity you do, if you jog. Almost any activity you do, if you jog, there is air pollution, it is kind, there is always something isnt there . Kind, there is always something isnt there . There is is a down side. I think this isjust, people have found this interesting because we are talking about wee. It has raised a few eyebrows but it is such a small amount. What surprised me if you are going on a spa break, and in a hot tub you will be exposed to three or four times more youre in than ina three or four times more youre in than in a Swimming Pool. People wont stop going to spas, 2. 5 Million People swimming every week, it is not a big problem and the kids need to learn to swim. You think the bad stuff will be oiled off as it we re bad stuff will be oiled off as it were ina bad stuff will be oiled off as it were in a hot tub . I dont know, but if steve is right, there is three times in the science suddenly they found there was three times the concentration of youre in in the jacuzzi and one compared to the worst Swimming Pool. So maybe it is just because they think they are adults and adults dont wee in jacuzzis, that is far from the truth. If you are heading off swimming this morning or going for yourspa swimming this morning or going for your spa break, iapologise. Swimming this morning or going for yourspa break, iapologise. I might have spoiled it for you. Good to see you both this morning. If we go outside for a moment we can go for a gathering of dogs. Question is about if you are a professional dog walker, how many dogs should you be walking with . At the moment, the maximum number is six. But there is some calls to reduce that to four, some calls to reduce that to four, so we will be talking to some professional dog walkers about what they think on this and lots of you getting in touch to tell us what you thought. I cant wait to go outside and give them a stroke. Are we going to play spot the breed . At least one is going to be a cocker poo. If you have a big pack of dogs to be walking in your park, if you are a professional walker. That is coming up professional walker. That is coming up in professional walker. That is coming upina professional walker. That is coming up in a few minutes type. That is coming up in a few minutes type. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. It is rather soggy start the south and we have a smattering of hilton and the unsettled weather is likely to continue. Not a complete wash out but most of us will have rain at some point. Lets concentrate on today, already fairly wet in the south with this band of rain and hilton are affecting north west england and southern england and in Northern Ireland and it is very great with hill fog. It looks like it might ease across the south east into the afternoon but not before a 599y into the afternoon but not before a soggy morning and there are still heavy bursts around in wales and south west england. If it does brighten up and dry up, temperatures could get to 13 or 1a but still not very pleasant with the rain around. That moves into Northern England this afternoon, on and off in Northern Ireland and fewer showers further north, and i day with some good sunshine but make the most of it because it is all change at the weekend. Rain continues northwards, turning to snow of the grampian and Highland Region but further south we clear the main Highland Region but further south we clearthe main rain Highland Region but further south we clear the main rain but it is pretty mild and murky, particularly over the hills and there is a risk of further showery outbreaks so not the persistent rain of today but still a few bursts. It looks like eastern parts could see further spells of rain, showers coming into the south and west and in between, a bit of brightness in the south but heavy showers further north. It will be cold and wet, hill fog around and hill snow as well and you can see in Northern Ireland it will be another cloudy and damp day. The potential is there for it to ease a little on sunday but we have swathes of rain again heading their way eastwards and heavy showers will follow so a fairly disturbed weekend.
