Some people will not have heard. This town has been rocked by gaias disappearance. The community has come together to search for gaia. You can move from seeing posters and leaflets of her face. But included yesterday when many volu nteers but included yesterday when many volunteers were out searching in three different locations.

The chancellor of the exchequer has pledged to use wednesdays budget, to help build 300,000 new homes a year. Philip hammond has told the sunday times hell invest billions and fix planning regulations to get builders building. Hell also announce funding to get Driverless Cars on the road within four years. Emma vardy is in our london newsroom. The weekend before the budget we start getting the leaks, dont we . That is right. We have than having them all this week. There would be a range of measures aimed at tackling theissues range of measures aimed at tackling the issues which contributed to the conservatives losing seats at the last election. Housing is emerging as one of the big headlines. That the chancellor, Philip Hammond, put it in the sunday times today is, he is, he says he will stage an intervention on housing. He is pointing the finger at all of these sites were he says there is planning promotion permission but not a lot is going on. He is targeting these speculative investors hoarding pieces of land. He has a strong message. He says, construction companies, if you have got places, if they have got planning permission, you need to start building. Away from housing there is something for the tech fans. There will be new rules introduced to help developers do more on road testing on driverless vehicles. But make no mistake, the backdrop to all of this is that it is a difficult budget for Philip Hammond. The brexit arguments are dominating. And after that snap election which went wrong, there is pressure to get things back on track for the tories. Thank you. We will keep in touch. Zimbabwes president Robert Mugabe is expected to meet military commanders this morning, a day after tens of thousands of protestors called for his resignation. Mr mugabe has so far resisted calls to step down. His party, zanu pf, is expected to begin the formal process of stripping him of his role. Ben brown is in zimbabwe for us. Good morning. It could be a monumental day for that country today . Yeah, another crucial day for zimbabwe. Yesterday we saw tens of thousands on the streets in harare, the capital. A real sea change in this countrys history. People no longer prepared to put up with the dictator, Robert Mugabe, who has ruled them for 37 years. Still it is a question of how he is removed constitutionally. That is what the army want. They dont want this to looked like a coup detat. They want him to go of his own free will, where he resigns, or to constitutionally get rid of him. That could mean impeaching him in parliament in the next few days. Also what is crucial today is that there is a meeting of zanu pf, the ruling party, who are expected to dismiss him as party leader. He would no longer be party leader of zanu pf. There are negotiations today between the military and mr mugabe, where they will try once again to persuade him to step down. The signs so far are that he is being stubborn. As he always has been. Hes refusing to leave office. We were talking to an expert who used to work on part of the zimbabwean government. He was saying that Robert Mugabes future, as to whether or not he is allowed to stay in zimbabwe, depends on whether he accepts what seems to be the inevitable. Those scenes yesterday show the outpouring of relief almost from the people. What was that like to experience . There were scenes of joy, to experience . There were scenes of joy, celebration. Long into the night people were tooting their horns, there were still cheering through the evening. We have been talking to some of the people there. In years gone by they have gone onto the street and criticised robert mcgarvey, are demonstrated. They have been beaten by the police. They have been beaten by the police. They have faced water cannon and tear gas. They couldnt believe they had this freedom to roam around curare, to go to key government offices and demand the president to stand down. Harare. People will not accept anything less than the ousting of Robert Mugabe. Thank you. After 3a years at the helm, the sinn fein leader, gerry adams says he plans to step down. During his time as leader, he persuaded the ira to call a ceasefire, and pursued a political settlement in the form of the good friday agreement. His decision to resign brings to an end the Longest Party leadership in britain or ireland. Republicanism has never been stronger. This is our time. We will grow Even Stronger in the future. But leadership means knowing when its time for change. And that time is now. I will not be standing at the next election. Investigators are continuing to look into the causes of a mid air collision between a helicopter and a plane, after the bodies of the four men who died were recovered. Police and air accident experts remain at the scene of the wreckage in woodland near buckinghamshire, as the families wait to formally identify their loved ones.

The sanjuan was on a routine mission off the southern tip of argentina, when it lost contact with Naval Command on wednesday. The Defence Ministry is now working with a us company to trace the location of the seven failed satellite calls received on saturday. New advice on how to recognise and tackle Sexual Harassment in the workplace, is published today. The advisory and Conciliation Service, acas, has released guidelines for employers and employees which outlines the kind of behaviour which could be considered inappropriate and how to report it. Sophie long reports. Allegations of inappropriate behaviour by men considered to be hollywood greats and high profile politicians at westminster started a conversation about what Sexual Harassment is and what needs to be done to tackle it. Now the Conciliation Service acas says it wants to help people identify Sexual Harassment at work and to give tips on how to handle it. The advice includes examples of the forms that Sexual Harassment can take, such as written or verbal comments, displaying explicit images or unwanted physical contact. Sexual harassment can happen anywhere, at any time, to anybody. There are things that employers can do that will help manage that risk. But, nevertheless, it is a possibility and people need to be ready to identify it when it happens, they need to know what to do if it happens and they need to have a safe place and a safe way to report that, and possibly resolve it will take action around the matter as well. Acas says if someone feels they are experiencing harassment, there are a number of people within an organisation that can help deal with complaints like members of the Human Resources team, or union representatives. Any kind of harassment that includes Sexual Assault or physical threats, it says, is a criminal act and should be reported to the police. Sophie long, bbc news. The actor and singer, david cassidy, is being treated in a Florida Hospital for multiple organ failure.

To mark the milestone, Buckingham Palace has released this new portrait. A set of six commemorative stamps have also been issued by royal mail. They feature the couples engagement and wedding. They are the first royal couple to celebrate their platinum anniversary. Many congratulations. Driverless cars, new homes and disposable plastic containers will be on Phillip Hammonds agenda, when he delivers his budget this week. Westminster watchers say hell also be concerned with presenting a positive vision for post brexit britain, and creating a moment of unity for his party. Henry mance is the Political Correspondent for the financial times, and joins us from our london newsroom. Good morning. We were talking to our Political Correspondent earlier and this is the weekend when the leaks started to come out ahead of the budget. Anything surprise you . We have seen Philip Hammond talk positive about housing. It is not really surprising because we know the conservatives and labour leave this is an area where young people are being squeezed out of the housing market. Homes costing too much. He is trying to be as bold as he can be without annoying traditional conservative voters who dont want homes built on the green belt. How positive is this budget going to be . We were saying with brexit negotiations going on, he is determined to give a positive outlook for the uk post brexit . remember the time when budgetss were giveaways. At the moment that is not possible. There is still a budget deficit. We are spending more than we are bringing in. Philip hammond doesnt think you can keep doing that forever. The labour party wa nted that forever. The labour party wanted to loosen the Purse Strings of it. I think you will try to present a positive message but the underlying picture is a bit grim. What do you mean . Brexit has not helped the public finances. If you are Philip Hammond, who supported remain, you are thinking, i cant be upbeat and talk about the opportunities because i am looking at the numbers and they are not so good. There are calls from the party for him to relax austerity following the election. Do you think you will not do that . I think you will not really do very much in that direction. The indications are that he will be cautious and that he is actually a believer in the basics of austerity. 0n actually a believer in the basics of austerity. On his plans there would still be a budget deficit. There would still we would still spend more than we receive until the middle of 2020. That is still quite away, if you think about the recession and the financial crisis, thatis recession and the financial crisis, that is a long time with a budget deficit. He doesnt think we can wait any longer. If you are expecting a big radical plan, if you are expecting him to completely change what this comment is about, you will be disappointed. What about the place to build more houses . That is likely to be seen as positive. It is likely to be seen as positive. It isa is likely to be seen as positive. It is a cross party demand . Yes, but look at the scale. Sajid javid, the cabinet minister in charge of housing, he wanted the government to borrow 50 billion to spend on these things. What Philip Hammond is talking about is 5 billion. So, it is a lot of money, a big figure. It is not the scale that one of his own colleagues thought was necessary. I think you can be attacked by labour on that point. The difficulty with being really bold is that you create enemies come often. You leave yourself open. We saw in Philip Hammonds only other budget that he tried to do something radical on national insurance, what self employed people pay in tax, and he fell flat on his face. He doesnt wa nt to he fell flat on his face. He doesnt want to do that. The way of not doing that is dont take any big risks. I think that will be his overriding principle on wednesday. What do you make of the relationship between number 11 and number 10 downing street . There have been reported tensions between Philip Hammond and the prime minister. M isa hammond and the prime minister. M is a pretty extraordinary situation. At theresa may done better in the election, she would have sacked this quy election, she would have sacked this guy. He would not be in a job delivering the budget this week. It must make Philip Hammond feel uneasy about his position, or at least resentful. Having said that, theresa may has changed her advisers, so the relationship is a little better as a result. I think there is still a marriage of convenience, rather than a really close partnership. David cameron and george osborne, whatever you felt about them, you had to think they were pretty close. They didnt come out into public with their disagreements and you felt they were on the same page. Its not quite the same with these two. They were on the same page. Its not quite the same with these twom will be interesting this week. Thank you forjoining us. Good morning, if you arejust getting up. A cold start in many parts of the country. A rather beautiful sunrise . Southend on sea. The weather watchers are beginning to get out and about. We are always very grateful because they keep us in touch with what is going on with the weather across the british isles. As you say, it was a pretty chilly start under the clear skies. That is certainly the case through central and eastern parts, a bit of rust around and mist and fog. Further west, the clouds stuck around for a good part of the night, particularly in the far west of cornwall, the scilly isles and into northern ireland. It has produced the odd spot of rain here and there. That is the likelihood as far ahead as mid afternoon. Increasing amounts of cloud coming in across much of the south west, up across much of western wales as well. Generally speaking, the further east you are, cool throughout the day. I think the thing you will notice is that as the clear skies get a bit more hazy with time, more in the way of cloud for northern ireland, the western side of scotland, and a greater chance of a bit of rain. That isjust a of scotland, and a greater chance of a bit of rain. That is just a taste of what is to come overnight. Chilly throughout the central and eastern parts. This is part of the problem overnight, because we will bring mild airfrom the overnight, because we will bring mild air from the atlantic. Thats no initially in scotland will fall to as low as 200 metres or so. Gradually, it will rise to the course of the night as increasing amounts of mild air comes in from the atlantic. The same mild air, five or 6 degrees, as opposed to 5 last night, the really mild stuff towards the south west quarter. Eventually, it wins out across the greater part of the british isles, save for scotland. Quite a dank started a day. Not a lot of sunshine for sun worshippers. Ii, 12 or 13 degrees. Further north, one of those days. Never better than five, six, seven or 8 degrees. It stays dank and murky, and a bit grizzly. That is the sort of pattern for the middle part of the week, where we have the High Pressure down to the western mediterranean and we have low pressure. Quite a number of isobars there. We have this combination of wet and windy fair. But mild, given the flow that is going to come up and at us from way down in the mid atlantic. This week is certainly wet and windy at times. Some of that rain is really quite heavy as well. It will be mild and then later in the week, around about friday, into the forthcoming weekend, we suspect it will turn a lot colder and brighter as a consequence. No longer that mild feel of midweek. Mild, dank and murky, or cold and bright . Yes, that is often the way at this time of year. Orton, not winter, not quite yet. Which do you prefer . I am an optimist, i like the cheery skies, i am happy to put on a fewer layers. Well, nature has given mea fewer layers. Well, nature has given me a few layers. It is not fat, you understand of course you are not alone. I have never heard that. Wide skin . A natural duvet stop it you have nothing of the sought. Volunteers restoring the last paddle steamer to be built in britain are appealing for help in tracking down artifacts and equipment from the ship. The maid of the loch was lef
