media. ian murray said he would step down from his role at the society of editors so it could "rebuild its reputation". on monday, he defended newspapers against the accusation they were bigoted, but he later faced criticism for those comments. cancer patients get less protection than the rest of the population from a single dose of the pfizer coronavirus vaccine, according to a new study. scientists behind the research at king's college london and the francis crick institute, have called for those affected to receive their second dose more quickly. the leading charity, cancer research uk, said the findings were interesting but urged patients to continue to follow doctors' advice. nearly 20 lgbt+ organisations and campaigners have written to the equalities minister to express their "deep concern" following her response to calls to ban so—called "conversion therapy". campaigners say kemi badenoch failed to engage with recent calls for urgent action. the letter comes after two advisers quit the government's lgbt advisory panel yesterday in protest. the government says it's committed to building a country where everyone is free to live their lives. the amount of sugar consumed by british households from soft drinks alone, has fallen since the introduction of the sugar tax in 2018. that's according to new research from the university of cambridge, which suggests an average drop of around 10%. our health correspondent anna collinson reports. obesity is seen as one of the biggest health crises facing the uk. to try and tackle the problem, three years ago, the government brought in a tax to discourage customers, particularly children, from buying the most sugary drinks. if a beverage contains more than five grams of sugar per 100 millimetres, companies have to pay a levy. if it's below that, they don't. now, a study suggests that in the year since this was introduced, there was no change in the total volume of soft drinks bought, but there was a reduction in the amount of sugar consumed, an estimated three teaspoons per person, perweek. researchers believe it's because manufacturers have increased healthier options by changing the formulas for their products, reducing sugar content. it's notjust helping people to have healthier diets to consume less sugar, but the fact that we found no change in the total volume of drinks purchased suggests to us that this is good news for industry as well, that they're selling the same volume of product, but that it's perhaps better for us. experts say cutting out even the smallest amount of sugar will have an impact on the number of people who have obesity and type two diabetes, two groups who are particularly at risk of coronavirus. anna collinson, bbc news. on bbc breakfast yesterday, we bid farewell to chanua, an eight—year—old black rhino, who was preparing to embark on a 4,000 milejourney from north yorkshire to tanzania. well, she's now well on her way, and luxmy gopal has been following the first leg of that epic voyage. let's take a look. chanua has been training for this moment for weeks. her keepers in yorkshire have worked on coaxing the eight—year—old black rhino to step into the crate. and now, for the final time, the barrier comes down and she's safely stowed, ready to start her journey to africa. getting a crate holding a one tonne rhino onto a lorry is no mean feat. but this precious cargo is worth the effort. chanua's new life in east africa is part of a vital conservation mission to help revive the black rhino population, a critically endangered species. she's travelling from her home in malton, down to hive in kent, where she'll spend time with two other captive females before they're all transported by air to tanzania, tojoin a new herd of rhinos brought there from other zoos. like her predecessor, almaty, who was moved to rwanda in 2019, her transition to life in the wild will be gradual, with the team helping the herd adjust. we need to assimilate them to the natural diet in the area, wean them off of the zoo food which we've been feeding her, and the dried pellets, and start introducing her to local flora, specifically alfalfa. it's a long drive down to kent. luckily, she seems to be a calm passenger, even when a stop—off at the services is needed. and finally, the first leg of herjourney is complete. lakshmi gopal, bbc

street, with some big names going bust and others closing stores up and down the country. john lewis will give an update on how they're doing later this morning, and it could announce plans to shut more shops. yes, those are the reports will be more store closures and more jobs going. part of a restructuring programme we know about. we don't know which further shops will be closing. good morning. nonessential retail has been hammered by the impact of the pandemic. in reality, some of this was already happening before coronavirus. when big department stores likejohn lewis, like debenhams close, they literally leave a hole in the high street. they are shop windows not just for their products, but for the shopping area. so, what is the future for our high streets now so many of us are happy ordering online? i was in liverpool yesterday, one of the original birthplaces of the department store, to try and find out. 13 years ago, the liverpool one shopping centre opened with a royal visit, thejewel shopping centre opened with a royal visit, the jewel in the region's retail ground. like lots of post—industrial cities, this economic anchor was a huge part of regeneration. today, across the city and others, there is silence. the shoppers will soon return, but there will be no debenhams, there will be no topshop. there have been dozens of covid casualties in retail, and just look at the names. all areas have been affected. and with them it is estimated they have taken more than 200,000 jobs. are theyjobs lost forever? well, not necessarily. i think there is a future for the high street. we are all going to want to socialise and meet, get back together with our friends and family, and i think the high street is a perfect destination.— is a perfect destination.

block. they don't even sell online and yet 14 out of every £100 spent on clothes in the uk is spent with primark. and despite enormous lockdown losses, they are still planning to expand this year. when lockdown kicked in, jack thought his coffee shop was scuppered. but his customers started asking for home deliveries. rapid growth in e—commerce has given him the capital to open two more physical stores. i to open two more physical stores. i do believe that when you know, people are going to come back to the high street more and more as these regulations are lifted. but right now, we'vejust regulations are lifted. but right now, we've just got to keep focusing on delivering the best cup of coffee, the best experience when they come into our stores, and making sure they come back as soon as possible. just keep paddling. and as possible. just keep paddling. and the customers will be back soon. strangers spending time and money side by side. sharing streets and sharing

john lewis results are out in just over an hour's time, and there is talk of further store closures. someone who'll be looking very closely at the detail is iain finlayson. he's the estate manager at

and many lead on the news that police have found human remains in woodland near ashford in kent, in the search for missing sarah everard. the guardian says police are working to reassure the public following the latest developments, following reports that a serving metropolitan police officer remains in custody on suspicion of m5 everard's kidnap and murder. like the guardian, the times story focuses on police efforts to reassure women they are safe walking the streets. and safety on the streets was trending on twitter last night, following the sarah everard case, with many women tweeting that they want to "reclaim the night" and "reclaim the streets", pointing out that women are often asked to change their behaviour to avoid being attacked. many have been sharing their experiences of feeling afraid or being attacked whilst walking alone. let's pick up on that with our reporter simonjones in kent, where those remains have been found. simon, understandably, lots of concern

a caravan fire that killed his younger brother, is attempting to scale the height of everest at home. harley's family was told to prepare for the worst after the fire, but he's since made a remarkable recovery. now, he wants to raise money for the charity that helped get him back on his feet. a warning, tomos morgan's report contains some images viewers may find upsetting. coming home to the house is when it really hit. everything was just so different and so quiet. on january 19th last year, zach and his older brother harley, were staying with their father in a caravan when a fire broke out overnight. harley was saved by their heroic father. but as the blaze grew stronger, zach was unable to be rescued and died. the police came then. even though i knew what they were going to say, about zach, when they said it, it was just... everything just came crashing and it was just... i was in shock. the surviving son was transported by air ambulance to bristol for immediate surgery, as mum erin made a three and a half hour drive in the car as fast as she could to be there for harley. they sat us down and said it wasn't looking very good and to obviously be prepared for the worst and for harley to not make it. no matter what they they said, couldn't prepare us for when we walked into that room. it was a big shock. he was in a critical condition on intensive care. the prognosis wasn't good. the medical teams kept preparing the family for the worst. but on week three... harley! ..harley took his first steps since the blaze. his recovery was a remarkable, miraculous, better than most had predicted. in another three weeks, he was home. and just over a year later... ..look at him now. like every five—year—old boy, he's as active, lively and cheeky as ever. and just wants to play. ok, we'll do one more slide down and then you're going to sit down. 0k. his recovery will continue at swansea over the next few years. so harley and older brother alex have decided to do something to help the welsh dragons burns club, a charity there. the boys are on day 15 of their challenge. they have 39,662 steps. are you ready, boys? yeah. go! climbing snowdon is off limits due to lockdown, so it's the stairs. but the highest mountain in wales wasn't enough of a challenge. so the aim over 12 weeks, is to climb the 44,000 steps needed to summit everest. alex, how are you finding it so far? eh, it's a bit tiring. the cause of the fire is still unknown. it's not being treated as suspicious, and the family are awaiting an inquest. every day there'll be something that will remind me of zach, or what's happened, and then i'll get emotional and it'll be hard. but then i do always have the kids to pick me back up and get on with it for them. his positivity and his energy definitely helps helps us all get through, i think, especially me. just seeing his his attitude towards it all is definitely what kept me going. have you done it today? no. no? are we going to do it when we get home? actually, i'm buying - something from the shop. buying something from the shop, ok. two weeks down, and if the remarkable recovery of this young lad is anything to go by, a few stairs won't be getting in his way. tomos morgan, bbc news. great smile, isn't it? it is a testament of spirit, a young man doing amazing, the whole family. it also, the work that those experts do in the hospital in

where you are. good morning from bbc london. scotland yard says there will be increased police patrols in the area around clapham from where sarah everard went missing a week ago. last night it was confirmed that human remains have been found in the search for the 33—year—old. a serving metropolitan police officer has been arrested on suspicion of her murder and kidnap. londoners will want to know that, thankfully, it is incredibly rare for a woman to be abducted from our streets. but i completely understand that despite that, women in london and the wider public, perhaps particularly those in the area where sarah went missing will be worried, and may be feeling scared. extra covid testing will be carried out in wandsworth after cases of the south african variant were identified in the borough. the department of health are strongly advising those people who live in the sw11 and sw15 postcode areas to take a covid test whether they have symptoms or not. tower hamlets could soon be joining the ranks of local authorities like kensington and chelsea and greenwich in being designated a royal borough. councillors believe it could be in with a chance of receiving the status because its home to the tower of london an 11th century palace where kings and queens have stayed. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, severe westbound delays on the hammersmith and city line and on the district line between upminster and richmond and ealing broadway following a signal failure at bow road. in twickenham , traffic on the a316 chertsey road remains down to one lane in both directions due to gasworks near the hospital bridge roundabout in redbridge, the a1400 woodford avenue is blocked northbound from the a12 at the gants hill roundabout to beehive lane following a building fire, with three bus routes on diversion. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was a very blustery night last night, and we are hanging on to those very strong winds through the course of the day. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for the strong winds, widely gusts of 50 up to 55 mph. we will see some showers blowing through on the wind as well. they could be heavy, thundery and you might get some hail mixed in there too. sunny spells between. the wind perhaps a little lighter this afternoon but not too noticeably. temperatures getting up to 12 celsius. overnight the showers become more isolated, gradually fading away, so we get some lengthy, clear spells. still breezy and blustery overnight and the minimum temperature between two and five celsius. as we head into friday, you will notice the showers moving in from the west. still showers around tomorrow but again some sunny spells and it will be a blustery day but the wind not quite as strong and gusty as it is today. into the weekend, it stays pretty windy and it's not until next week where things start to settle down just a little. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on breakfast this morning. remember chanua, the black rhino from yesterday's show? well, she's now set off on her epic voyage from yorkshire to tanzania. we find out how the first leg has gone. wild swimming with a difference. we speak to the woman known as the 'hebridean mermaid'. that's just before eight. and how about this for a welcome back to school? we'll be joined by the teaching assistant behind the shrek hats that have delighted the internet. it's been a year since the world health organisation declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic — and it's since claimed the lives of more

as people's understanding has improved and as we are vaccinating and moving into the cohort where there are more pregnant women and women who have other health conditions, the advice has been that they should consider the vaccination, have a discussion with your obstetrician or midwife and talk about it and consider it because for some women it would definitely be of benefit, so that is good

undertook and they looked at people who have cancer and they roughly split into two types of cancer, solid body cancers and blood cancers and they looked at their antibody response and they looked at their antibody response and their t cell response three weeks after having the pfizer vaccine and most people who don't have cancer or any problems with their immune response, you get about a 90% antibody and immune —— immune response. it was lower in those people those who had cancer and those who had solid body cancer and those who had solid body cancer and those who had the blood cancers, so some people manage to get the second dosein some people manage to get the second dose in three weeks instead of 12 weeks and their response seemed to be higher, so what is being asked is should we be prioritising these people to have the vaccine sooner? the advice is to speak to the person, the doctor looking after you, your specialist and see what they advised to do. i know as gps we have been asked to give vaccines quicker than the 12 week intervals for some people who are having specific treatments that will suppress the immune system, so it is possible. the question of whether we would have a supply of pfizer vaccine in three weeks as a whole other issue. vaccine in three weeks as a whole other issue-— other issue. what is the problem there? we _ other issue. what is the problem

vaccine to do second doses, but we are going to get pfizer vaccine to do new doses. so then it becomes more complicated, because i know i have a vaccine for you in 12 weeks' time, i might not definitely have one in three weeks' time, so people might need to go and look at other places that have a more reliable delivery.- look at other places that have a more reliable delivery. what about

albeit 1300 miles away because of coronavirus restrictions. it's been a tough few weeks for liverpool in the premier league, but their european dream is still alive. they're through to the quarter—finals of the champions league after they beat german side rb leipzig 2—0 in budapest. for liverpool, a home game in hungary. that's right, because of travel restrictions, budapest became anfield for the night, a switch liverpool probably didn't mind, so bad is their recent home form. but once again, just where were those scoring boots? mo salah and sadio mane both somehow missed while diogojota's effort was even worse and although they led leipzig 2—0 from the first leg they should have been out of sight by the break. would it come back to haunt them? belatedly, leipzig started to stir. alexander sorloth came agonisingly close but with 20 minutes left liverpool's dominance at last got its reward. mo salah, this time makes sure! if he was relieved, just look at his manager. finally, the smiles back. and just minutes later, mane made absolutely sure. it was just like the old times. whatever liverpool's domestic problems, their european hopes are flying high. andy swiss, bbc news. so a smile back onjurgen klopp's face and he says it's still possible they can win this competition, despite their awful run of form in the dometic league. the only reason why you play in this competition is because you want to win it. but we are not silly. we know that, so far, this is not a season that looks like we will win the champions league, but that does not mean we don't want to go as far as possible and then we will see what is possible for us, but now we have to wait for the draw. in what is possible for us, but now we have to wait for the draw.— have to wait for the draw. in the draw is next _ have to wait for the draw. in the draw is next friday. _ but barcelona won't be in it leonel messi's, side knocked out — despite his own stunning goal. kylian mbappe had scored from the penalty spot for paris saint germain, in a 1—all draw, which took them through 5—2 on aggregate. but this reply from messi was world class. but it wasn't enough and barca miss out on the quarter—finals for the first time in 14 years. chelsea are through to the last eight of the women's champions league, after knocking out atletico madrid. england's toni duggan missed a penalty for the spanish side, amazingly the third, they've failed to score in the tie. maren mielda did score from the spot for chelsea though, who go through 3—1 on aggregate. meanwhile in the premier league, manchester city made an instant return to winning ways, thrashing southampton 5—2 at the etihad. city were 3—1 up at half time and a second goalfrom riyad mahrez, after the break put the game beyond doubt and kevin de bruyne, also picked up a second of the night, when he slotted home shortly after. city are 14 points clear at the top of the table. now in tennis, swiss legend roger federer, is back and looked as good as new, after victory in his first match for 14 months. the 20—time grand slam champion, was pushed hard by british number one dan evans, before winning in three sets, at the qatar open, to reach the quarter—finals. in his time away federer who's now 39 had two knee operations, but it doesn't seem to have affected his trademark smooth action. rory mcilroy says tiger woods is "doing better" and he could be allowed home in a week or so, to continue his recovery, after he suffered serious injuries in a car crash. mcilroy told an american chat show that he'd spoken to woods, who was left with a fractured leg and shattered ankle. he said he was in good spirits and was well enough to tease mchoy about his current form. this was after the arnold palmer invitational where rory mcilroy hit a final round of 76, and the tech said, what is going on here? even though they are such ferocious competitors, all of the professional golfers, there is a sense of community. golfers, there is a sense of community-— golfers, there is a sense of community. golfers, there is a sense of communi . . ., , community. there is a close family because rory _ community. there is a

liverpool has progressed in the champions league, but a year ago today they exited the competition following a now—infamous home clash against atletico madrid. the game took place in front of a packed stadium, including three thousand fans from madrid, then the epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic. our reporter mairead smyth has been to meet a family who believe the loss of a loved one was a direct result of going to that match. liverpool and atletico madrid have walked out of the anfield tunnel to an absolutely bouncing anfield, as you will have heard. this day last year, 3000 spanish football fans arrived for atletico madrid's match at anfield. and is it really sensible for fans who could not watch their team at home to be able to travel to liverpool and watch their team play with 51,000 locals? is that really sensible? the day covid—19 was declared a pandemic. you've got to come to the games when you get the tickets, when you get a ticket, you got to come. we came over from dublin on the other three didn't come because of it. they had tickets but they didn't want to take the chance. for richie mawson's family, they believe it was the day that led to his death from coronavirus. he loved liverpool and he loved the european games. he loved them more than anything. so he decided, like thousands of others, to go to the match because the government gave them the ok that it was fine, which it turns out it wasn't. that game should never have ever gone ahead in hindsight. because spain was in lockdown at the time. madrid was the worst affected city. it was a disaster waiting to happen. soon after the match, richie fell ill. two weeks later, he was taken to hospital. in the middle of the night we heard him trying to get his breath. i was in the next room and i ran out of bed, ijumped up, to go and get an ambulance and within minutes the ambulance was there. that was the last time i saw him. going in the ambulance by himself. then the next time, two weeks after, we were there all screening through video. i will never, ever get that vision out of my mind. you couldn't go to the hospital, it was a waiting game. jamie took on the tough calls to the care team, pushing them to pull richie through. when they gave me that dreaded call to say there was nothing else they could do for him, me, as a son, as a proud son was saying, "no, you have to give him another week, you have to give him another two weeks. he is a fighter." richie died on the 17th of april. oh, god, it will haunt me to think that he went out of this world with nothing. i couldn't even go to the church. because the churches weren't open. so the funeral he got, if we would have planned it, it would never have been that. jamie is part of the covid—19 bereaved families forjustice uk group. so now we are in the process of pushing for a public enquiry and hopefully we will get the answers that we deserve. if them supporters weren't there, and obviously they were on public transport, in bars and restaurants, on city tours, i am 100% convinced he would be sitting next to me now. richie's family will never know exactly where or when he caught the virus, but some who were at anfield that night say the spanish fans shouldn't have been there. i remember my mum asking me, j do you really want to go tonight? i i was like, of course, it's fine, i it's been put on, it must be safe. i but when you got in the ground, i| cannot describe how uneasy it felt. and you weren'tjust at the home tie? you'd also travelled to madrid two weeks earlier? | it didn't seem a problem and it was| weird because we were on the plane and someone would cough, - and you would make a joke about it and then say, what if? it was only when i came back that i felt really, really ill. _ it was a european tie. uefa, the game's governing body, said it wanted the match to go ahead but a month later the city council commissioned a report into the match. experts say with hindsight, it shouldn't have happened. the fact that that match went ahead probably contributed to more cases of disease. that would be very hard to prove. there is some evidence that would suggest that the cases went up, but of course cases were going up everywhere. back then there were no lockdowns in this country, so just saying we will play this game behind closed doors might have led to other problems. the government says the match took place under the clear health guidance at the time. for the mawson family, today they remember richie's last match. next month, they will mark the first anniversary of his death. it's the first of everything, isn't it? christmas, birthdays, anniversaries. it's hard, really hard. i mean, there's some people out there that have got nobody. they haven't got a voice. mairead smith, bbc news. that's what makes it more poignant, you remember the things you would have been— you remember the things you would have been celebrating with someone you have _ have been celebrating with someone you have lost. have been celebrating with someone you have lost-— you have lost. really interesting to hear the reflections _ you have lost. really interesting to hear the reflections of _ you have lost. really interesting to hear the reflections of some - you have lost. really interesting to hear the reflections of some of - hear the reflections of some of those who so sadly lost loved ones, but also those involved around the celebrations on their reflections now as to why the event went ahead. later on we will be talking to an epidemiologist, just taking a look at how the pandemic has progressed and what we didn't know then and to what we know now and how the virus has changed, of course, all of our lives. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. ican i can report first—hand, this is weather information for you, that it's really horrible. it's really, really horrible this morning. is that a technical term? it is blowing a gale, tipping with rain and it's all kicking off. it will get better, i promise. a few trees down in west london, there have been power cuts in wales and the strongest winds in wales since debris of last year, over 80 miles an hour and it is still pretty blowing out there at the moment as charlie said, a horrible start to the day for some of you. this is what has been happening on this is the cloud which brought the rain yesterday but it is the sting in the tail, the strongest of the winds have been on that and that is now working east across england and wales, so the wind could still strengthen over the coming hours across southern counties of england and towards the midland and eastern counties of england and it is here we could see wins top 60 miles an hour and it still pretty blowing out in the west but you will notice as well to go with the strong winds there is heavy rain across northern england. and that will be pushed out quickly in the next few hours, so things will turn drier and brighter and we will see some sunshine through the day but plenty of showers being pushed along by the strong winds and where you see the showers there could be hail and thunder and over the tops of the hills in scotland some sleet and snow. the gusts into the afternoon and eased down compared to this morning but the main exception is across the western isles where the wind will strengthen again. we finished the day with sunshine and showers and tonight it will be clear spells and showers and after a fresher day it will be slightly fresher day it will be slightly fresher overnight as temperatures will drop further than they did last night. tonight won't be as windy as last night with the main exception in the far north of scotland but nothing untoward. elsewhere the showers are packing in from the west and we could see heavier ones towards wales on the south—west as we go into first light tomorrow with temperatures a few degrees above freezing. tomorrow, most of the showers will be four eastern parts of england and wales, still a few in the west as we go through the afternoon but it will be wetter in the morning, brighter in the afternoon and showers continue across northern ireland although a wet end to the day in northern ireland as the cloud thickens and tomorrow is fresher than today and as we go into the weekend we continue with wind coming down the north atlantic on saturday and will be fresh with sunshine and showers as it will be on sunday but i think as it will be on sunday but i think as we go through saturday night, friday into saturday, we could start with rain, sleet and snow across parts of the north. i will have more through the morning. you said it was going to get better. it's better compared to now. it’s it's better compared to now. it's all relative- _ it's better compared to now. it's all relative. matt, thank you. keep britain tidy save more family is asking for litter picking kits and its link to something you might have seen last week. we heard about the littercam — new technology that could help catch people throwing rubbish from car windows. so now they have got...? come on, it is litter picking kits. phil mackie's been to meet one group in birmingham you see it everywhere, whenever you go out for a walk, a run, to cycle for a drive. in a recent survey, 83% of people said they had notice more litter during the pandemic, but something else has happened to. there's been a surge in people doing something about it. the erdington little busters in birmingham are one of a growing number of groups across the country who are doing their bit to clean up the streaks. it's a combination of exercise, and also a sense of achievement, also improving their mental well—being, because you go out, you litter pick, you tidy the street and you feel really good about it. whilst we set out to pick up litter, i think the spin offs have been to really lift people in this area, people want to get outdoors, and it's really lifted people's mental health as well. it's not great weather for litter picking and it's blowing around, but they come out no matter the conditions and during the pandemic people are out walking, running, cycling a lot more and that's inspired a lot more people who have seen the litter to come and join groups like this. this is andy biddle, who has founded another group in nearby warmley. he's found a hedgerow full of litter on the outskirts of the city. i've had so many people say, well done, well done, thank you for doing that. i realise i shouldn't have to do it, but i do, and as i say, it's growing, locally and nationally. public enemy numberone. hunted all over the world. a messyjob. call on ldv, litter. defence volunteers. it's not as if it is a new message. they've been hammering it home for decades, but the way it's delivered has changed quite a bit. debbie and deb are out on patrol in their country park. because you are out every day, because it's the only thing you can do at the moment, you see the litter and you just think, rather than walk past it every day, i will stop and pick it up myself and take action and help the community. it's unbelievable how people can just walk along and throw litter out of the car window, orjust drop litter in a park, or on the side of the road. it's infuriating, yes, really infuriating. they are at it all weathers, a new army of litter pickers. there's very little reward, but occasionally there is small treat. i'm bringing you a few treats for your work in the community. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. and some of you have already been getting in touch with your litter—picking pictures. this is a bit more than litter, really. this is what they have picked up. the sheffield litter pickers have tweeted us to say that they have a volunteer team of thousands who clean up every day. 10—year—old sophie and six—year—old brandon from blyth say they started picking litter injune and have now collected 875 bin bags full. and here's rayer fay, taking plastic away along the northumberland coast. ifind i find those pictures a little ifind those pictures a little bit saddening, there is so much out there. thank you to those of you going out and helping the country stay clean. it's one of those things, that once you start looking, you really notice it. there are some places you always see it, and then you see them all the time. feel free to send in more of your litter picking pictures in the usual ways. time to get the news travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. scotland yard says there will be increased police patrols in the area around clapham from where sarah everard went missing a week ago. last night it was confirmed that human remains have been found in the search for the 33—year—old. a serving metropolitan police officer has been arrested on suspicion of her murder and kidnap. londoners will want to know that, thankfully, it is incredibly rare for a woman to be abducted from our streets. but i completely understand that despite that, women in london and the wider public, perhaps particularly those in the area where sarah went missing, will be worried, and may be feeling scared. extra covid testing will be carried out in wandsworth, after cases of the south african variant were identified in the borough. the department of health are strongly advising those people who live in the sw11 and sw15 postcode areas to take a covid test whether they have symptoms or not. tower hamlets could soon be joining the ranks of local authorities like kensington and chelsea and greenwich, in being designated a royal borough. councillors believe it could be in with a chance of receiving the status because its home to the tower of london, an 11th century palace where kings and queens have stayed. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, severe westbound delays on the hammersmith and city line and on the district line between upminster and richmond and ealing broadway, following a signal failure at bow road. in twickenham, traffic on the a316 chertsey road remains down to one lane in both directions due to gasworks near the hospital bridge roundabout. in redbridge, the a1400 woodford avenue is blocked northbound from the a12 at the gants hill roundabout to beehive lane, following a building fire, with three bus routes on diversion. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was a very blustery night last night, and we are hanging on to those very strong winds through the course of the day. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for the strong winds, widely gusts of 50 up to 55 mph. we will see some showers blowing through on the wind as well. they could be heavy, thundery and you might get some hail mixed in there too. sunny spells between. the wind perhaps a little lighter this afternoon but not too noticeably. temperatures getting up to 12 celsius. overnight the showers become more isolated, gradually fading away, so we get some lengthy, clear spells. still breezy and blustery overnight and the minimum temperature between two and five celsius. as we head into friday, you will notice the showers moving in from the west. still showers around tomorrow but again some sunny spells and it will be a blustery day but the wind not quite as strong and gusty as it is today. into the weekend, it stays pretty windy and it's not until next week where things start to settle down just a little. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. human remains have been found in the search for missing sarah everard. a

sarah everard in south london, have found human remains in woods in kent. the 33—year—old has been missing since last week. a serving police officer is being questioned on suspicion of her kidnap and murder. aruna iyengar has more. all along the route sarah took from clapham common over a week ago, posters bearing her image are on every lamp post and bus stop, appealing for information. but yesterday evening, police investigating her disappearance discovered what appears to be human remains in woodland in ashford, kent. police say they are not yet able to confirm any identity, and that may take considerable time. officers also searched his house in deal, kent. cars were taken away. it is believed to be the home of a serving police officer. he has been arrested on suspicion of sarah's kidnap and murder, and over a separate allegation of indecent exposure. the officer, in his 405, was responsible for guarding diplomatic buildings. he was not on duty on the night sarah disappeared. a woman in her 305 was also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. the news today that it was a metropolitan police officer who was arrested on suspicion of sarah's murder, has sent shock waves and anger through the public and through the met. i speak on behalf of all my colleagues when i say that we are utterly appalled. sarah's disappearance in these awful and wicked circumstances, i know, are every family's worst nightmare. the met commissioner said it was incredibly rare for a woman to be abducted from our streets. patrols have been stepped up in this area of south london. sarah, a marketing executive, had been at a friend's house on leathwaite road, close to clapham common. she left there at around nine in the evening to return to her home in brixton, about 50 minutes walk away. police believe she made her way across clapham common. this footage showed sarah on poynder road at around 9:30pm. it was the last time she was seen. sarah's family is being supported by specialist police officers. her family and friends want people to come forward to help police with anything they saw that night. aruna iyengar, bbc news. our reporter simonjones

would be returned to them. but yesterday evening, they got the devastating news that human remains had been found in woodland just behind me. for them, they are going to have to try to come to terms with this. in terms of the investigation there are hundreds of officers involved in this. throughout the morning we have seen vehicles arrived. it looks like they are gearing up for further searches. the warning is it may take some time for these remains to be formally identified. so the agony formally identified. so the agony for sarah's family looks set to continue. ,, ., for sarah's family

potentially be scared. she was keen to point out that it is incredibly rare for a woman to be abducted from the streets like this. nevertheless, there are going to be increased patrols, particularly in south london, where sarah everard was last seen. to act as reassurance and also as part of the investigation. it may be too that reassurance is needed here in kent as well. as well as the scene here which is being searched, yesterday i spent the day in deal, where police were searching the house believed to have belonged to the suspect, is serving met police officer who has been arrested, and the word people they were using to me yet again was a shock. they didn't expect this to happen. they too need reassurance. for the met this is a very difficult investigation, investigating one of their own in such terrible circumstances. the commissioner saying what had happened had sent shock waves amongst the force and also the wider community. simon, thank you. the head of a uk press body has resigned over the statement he issued following the duke and duchess of sussex's comments about racism in the media. ian murray said he would step down from his role at the society of editors so it could "rebuild its reputation". on monday, he defended newspapers against the accusation they were bigoted, but he later faced criticism for those comments. cancer patients get less protection than

consumed by british households from soft drinks alone, has fallen since the introduction of the sugar tax in 2018. that's according to new research from the university of cambridge, which suggests an average drop of around 10%. our health correspondent anna collinson reports. obesity is seen as one of the biggest health crises facing the uk. to try and tackle the problem, three years ago, the government brought in a tax to discourage customers, particularly children, from buying the most sugary drinks. if a beverage contains more than five grams of sugar per 100 millimetres, companies have to pay a levy. if it's below that, they don't. now, a study suggests that in the year since this was introduced, there was no change in the total volume of soft drinks bought, but there was a reduction in the amount of sugar consumed, an estimated three teaspoons per person, perweek. researchers believe it's because manufacturers have increased healthier options by changing the formulas for their products, reducing sugar content. it's notjust helping people to have healthier diets to consume less sugar, but the fact that we found no change in the total volume of drinks purchased suggests to us that this is good news for industry as well, that they're selling the same volume of product, but that it's perhaps better for us. experts say cutting out even the smallest amount of sugar will have an impact on the number of people who have obesity and type two diabetes, two groups who are particularly at risk of coronavirus. anna collinson, bbc news. 11 minutes past seven. matt is taking a look at the weather. that picture is actually positively glorious compared to what is really happening outside. yes, this is a short while ago in hastings. fairly bracing on the coast. at least it is dry. not the same elsewhere. nowhere near the wind strengths we saw in wales over night. the strongest winds since february last year. 90 mph across parts of gwynedd. the strongest winds will be along the south coast and the eastern half of england during the coming hours. but at least it is dry in hastings compared to what is happening elsewhere. a thoroughly wet and windy start across northern ireland, the midlands, part of wales. that more persistent rain will clear in the coming hours. these guys were broken. it will get better compared to now. what we'll see the day is more sunshine, but will stay blustery and those winds will bring in occasional showers. some of those showers heavy with hail and occasional thunder. temperatures in single figures, particularly in scotland. a5 single figures, particularly in scotland. as we head towards the school pick up time, it looks like the showers will start to bring in some stronger winds across the north—west of scotland. here, a windy spell. winds 50 miles per across many parts of the country. while it may look sunny out your front door, be prepared, you will need waterproofs. they will be showers rattling across the sky throughout the day from west to east. this evening and overnight some of the showers in the south and east of the country will fade, they keep going in the north and west. wintry with sleet and snow over the hills of scotland. it will be a blowing night and a colder night as well. temperatures are a couple of degrees above freezing to start tomorrow. then for friday at the weekend, it will stay blustery with a mixture of sunshine and showers. details later. thank you, matt. labour is launching its campaign ahead of the mayoral and local elections today. let's speak to deputy

madonna canary, the chief executive of the royal college of nursing and about ten minutes. 23 minutes past seven. today marks ten years since japan was hit by a four—storey—high tsunami, which left 18,000 people dead and countless communities devastated. it also sparked the most severe nuclear accident in 25 years, at the fukushima power plant. our tokyo correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes has

chernobyl, the japanese government has set out to decontaminate the land here around the fukushima plant. vast areas of topsoil have been removed, creating millions and millions of tonnes of waste. and here behind me you can see new towns being built for the nuclear evacuees. in large part it has been a success. the radiation levels here are very low. it is safe for people to return to live

night, it was confirmed that human remains have been found in the search for the 33—year—old. a serving metropolitan police officer has been arrested on suspicion of her murder and kidnap. londoners will want to know that, thankfully, it is incredibly rare for a woman to be abducted from our streets. but i completely understand that despite that, women in london and the wider public, perhaps particularly those in the area where sarah went missing will be worried, and may be feeling scared. extra covid testing will be carried out in wandsworth after cases of the south african variant were identified in the borough. the department of health are strongly advising those people who live in the sw11 and sw15 postcode areas to take a covid test whether they have symptoms or not. new figures reveal that thefts of catalytic converters from cars increased by 50% in london between 2019 and 2020. catalytic converters reduce toxic pollution by controlling the emissions from a car's exhaust. but they are often targeted by thieves for their valuable metal content. the liberal democrats on the london assembly say there were 14,500 incidents last year. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube severe westbound delays on the hammersmith and city line and on the district line between upminster and richmond and ealing broadway following a signal failure at bow road. in enfield, the a10 great cambridge road is closed between carterhatch lane and bullsmoor lane due to flooding. eastbound traffic on bullsmoor lane slow towards hertford rd as traffic diverts at the qe2 bridge two lanes have been closed off for the second time this morning following strong winds, with delays on the clockwise m25 from j30 , a13. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was a very blustery night last night, and we are hanging on to those very strong winds through the course of the day. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for the strong winds, widely gusts of 50 up to 55 mph. we will see some showers blowing through on the wind as well. they could be heavy, thundery and you might get some hail mixed in there too. sunny spells between. the wind perhaps a little lighter this afternoon but not too noticeably. temperatures getting up to 12 celsius. overnight the showers become more isolated, gradually fading away, so we get some lengthy, clear spells. still breezy and blustery overnight and the minimum temperature between two and five celsius. as we head into friday, you will notice the showers moving in from the west. still showers around tomorrow but again some sunny spells and it will be a blustery day but the wind not quite as strong and gusty as it is today. into the weekend, it stays pretty windy and it's not until next week where things start to settle down just a little. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. bye for now. it's exactly one year since the world health organisation declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. the response to that announcement led to a worldwide shut down of life as we then knew it, with many of those changes still in place 12 months on. let's remind ourselves of that key moment. the of that key moment. who has been assessing this outbreak the who has been assessing this outbreak around the clock, and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction. we have therefore made the assessment that covid—19 can be characterised as a pandemic. on the day that announcement was made, 120,000 people had already tested positive for the virus worldwide. the latest data from the world health organisation now shows there have been more than 117 million confirmed cases in total. the international death toll — that's the number of deaths reported to the organisation — now stands at more than 2.5 million. but, there is some good news within the data, as the organization says more than 156 million people have now received at least one dose of a vaccine, bringing the total number of doses administered around the world, to more than 268 million. 952 health and care workers are among those who have died from the virus in the uk since the start of the pandemic. we're joined now by the general secretary of the royal college of nursing, professor dame donna kinnair. good morning to you. shall wejust start with your reflections one year on since the pandemic was declared? it has been a sad year, hasn't it? just even thinking about the nurses we have lost or the public we have lost, but one of the things i'm really proud of his the nursing profession. up until now, everybody has known a nurse, you have them in yourfamily, but not has known a nurse, you have them in your family, but not everybody has known what a no stars, and i think this last year has really demonstrated that we are not handmaidens or people thatjust follow doctor's orders or we are not heroes or angels, but we actually carry out a safety criticaljob and we have given our all to treat patients throughout the whole time and some of us have paid the ultimate sacrifice, but we continue. others of us are facing burn—out, which is why now it is important we get some opportunity to rest and recover as we come out of this pandemic. i recover as we come out of this pandemic-— recover as we come

for me, ultimately, what it has— facing? i think for me, ultimately, what it has demonstrated, - facing? i think for me, ultimately, what it has demonstrated, and - facing? i think for me, ultimately, | what it has demonstrated, and the royal college of nursing had for years been saying to the government, successive governments that we need to make sure we have an adequate supply of nurses, and actually, what we know is that we entered the pandemic very short of nurses, so for me, what could have been done is when they attacked the way education was funded and that stop so many people from the older generations coming into nursing, those things should not have been done. they should not have been done. they should have listened to the profession and listened to the nurses we were talking to and then we probably would have had more nurses in supply rather than having to call people out of retirement, but students on the front line. you can't say never because we may have needed to do those things, but it's woefully inadequate to have gone into a pandemic like this with not enough nurses to nurse the population. enough nurses to nurse the population-— enough nurses to nurse

has grown, but it still takes three years to train a nurse and what i'm really concerned about is the fact that we hold onto those nurses, those experienced nurses that we have and we know they are suffering from burn—out. we want to appeal to them to stay in the profession because their skills and experience is what is needed. do you think people — experience is what is needed. do you think people see _ experience is what is needed. do you think people see nursing _ experience is what is needed. do you think people see nursing as - experience is what is needed. do you think people see

attractive career to enter? although we hear all this from the government about the average wage is £33,000, but across that there are many divides, and what we know about the profession is unlike other graduate professions, we do not progress. we always hear talk about progression but for most of the nurses that belong to the royal couegein nurses that belong to the royal college in band five, at the starting point of the salary, so while we might have huge divides among that the average wage we hear quoted often does not apply to most nurses. ., ., , , ., �* nurses. you said that nurses

us going and many others appreciated it, but what it means sometimes is that when we see all that, they say they hear us and the prime minister says he hears us, but he clearly isn't listening because, actually, what we want as nurses is the same thing that the prime minister and everybody else in the country once, thatis everybody else in the country once, that is for us to be able to deliver safe nursing care. we can't do that without the right numbers, because actually we know that if we have one nurse looking after five intensive care patients, something is going to go wrong and i think what nurses are asking for is for us to be able to deliver care in a safe system, because actually, we are registered professionals and when something goes wrong, we often pay the ultimate price with our registration. it is right for us to demand that we have safety on the right numbers to make sure that patients are kept safe. i5 right numbers to make sure that patients are kept safe.—

liverpool, this was their home leg played in hungary, liverpool left their struggles at home in the premier league to keep alive their european dream of reaching the quarterfinals of the champions league in the home leg was played in budapest and they found their scoring boots again. mo salah with their opener before sadio mane, made it 4—0 on aggregate. and jurgen klopp says they can still win this competition, even though their dismal domestic form might suggest otherwise. the only reason why you play in this competition is because you want to win it. but we are not silly. we know that, so far, this is not a season that looks like we will win the champions league, but that does not mean we don't want to go as far as possible and then we will see what is possible for us, but now we have to wait for the draw. and that draw is next friday. but for the first time in 14 years, barcelona won't be in it even if leonel messi, showed us all, what we are going to be missing. kylian mbappe, scored from the penalty spot for paris saint germain, in a 1—1 draw, which took them through 5—2 on aggregate. relish this equaliser from lionel messi, but hejust relish this equaliser from lionel messi, but he just seems to gain momentum and power as it goes into the back of the net. i think we will show this three times. it is beautiful, but sadly no more in the champions league. did you

atletico madrid, failed to score a penalty. this time england's toni duggan, hitting the bar, which helped chelsea into the last eight. the was a crazy goal fest in the premier league, as manchester city bounced back from their defeat to neighbours city were 3—1 up at half time and a second goal from riyad mahrez, after the break put the game beyond doubt and kevin de bruyne, also picked up a second of the night, when he slotted home shortly after. city are 14 points clear at the top of the table. the swiss tennis legend roger federer was back on court yesterday after 14 months out with a knee injury. and he looked as good as new, beating his practice partner, britain's dan evans, at the qatar open. joe wilson reports. welcome back, roger federer! not seen on court for over a year, now

serve was broken and the second set went to evans, 6—3. the british number one maintained and inspired level. it was late in the third when federer was finally too good. 7—5, and we cannot wait for more from both men. i cannot get my head round this because he's 39 years old and if you think about cars who have beenin if you think about cars who have been in the garage for 405 days and you got it out and it would be a bit rusty or starter a bit and we have seen other players take time with their comebacks, but there he was saying his knees felt as good as new, they felt fine despite the surgery and he's 39 years old. one of the things that people say about dan evans, a lot of the top players, they say he is an awkward player to play against, one of those opponents that may be when you are a bit worried about your knee, the wrong kind of way. that worried about your knee, the wrong kind of way-— kind of way. that is why he picked him as a practice _ kind of way. that is why he

but roger has always had this movement as if he is on wheels or he floats, almost levitates across the court so he is not putting the impact on the joints on his knees like other players in the past have like rafael nadal. it is incredible. yes, thanks mike. see you later. ijust have a lovely image of him just dancing around the court. he does. nothing feels like it is difficult. effortless, just glides. like matt with the weather. i will be gliding across the screen very quickly if i was outside in the wind. good morning to you at home. a wild night in wales, the windiest night since february last year and certainly a fresh start on the seafront in hove on the south coast and the strongest winds over the next few hours are likely to be across southern counties of england and across parts of eastern england especially and it is all in this scorpion tail of cloud. the sting has been in the tail and this is where we see the strongest winds in the last few hours and it pushes east, so over the next to you our southern counties of england, up through east anglia and parts of england and lincolnshire and the southern parts of the pennines, this is where we will see winds at 50 or 60 mph but pretty blustery wherever you are. the persistent rain we have seen across northern england, the midlands and wales will be quickly out of the door towards the east and then skies will brighten. we will all see some sunshine at times today, but do not be fooled if you're going to step out the door because there will be big shower clouds around on the wind will be strong and gusty and it will push the showers quite quickly from west to east so you could get easily caught by a downpour if you are out the house for any length of time and the house for any length of time and the showers could be heavy with hail and thunder and while the winds will ease down it will still be blustery and across the far north west of scotland this is where the winds actually pick up, so 50 or 60 mph to end the day. it will be a cool day in the winds with temperatures in single figures and it could get to ten or 12 degrees, a bit above where we should be in parts of east anglia and the south—east. plenty of showers to end the afternoon across eastern areas but it's here where it will become dry through the night and the showers keep going in the west, turning to sleet and snow over the hills of scotland and the far north of england as well and it will still be a blustery night but not as windy as last night and with the cool air in place, temperatures will drop more tonight, so tomorrow morning will be a chilly start, just a couple of degrees above freezing. tomorrow morning will be where we see plenty of showers, hail, thunder mixed in with those, quickly clearing east and across england and wales in the afternoon, fewer showers and more in the way of sunshine but scotland and northern ireland continue with showers through the day and temperatures down a degree or so on what we will see this afternoon, so a fairly chilly end to the week. as we go into the weekend, the low pressure pushes east with high pressure trying to build in but we are still in between and we will see weather fronts pushing through on the north—westerly winds, so into friday night and saturday morning there will be a lot of weather, windy weather, sleet and snow and other than that, saturday will be back to a story of sunshine and blustery showers with temperatures still around, if not a bit below where we should be for this stage in the year, but fewer showers for many on sunday, particularly for england and wales and the good news is that into next week it builds in a little bit more with high pressure, fewer showers, less windy, not especially one, but for today the wind will not be your friend if you have lockdown hair. good tips. very practical. very important. on bbc breakfast yesterday, we bid farewell to chanua, an eight—year—old black rhino, who was preparing to embark on a 4,000 milejourney from north yorkshire to tanzania. well, she's now well on her way, and luxmy gopal has been following the first leg of that epic voyage. let's take a look. chanua has been training for this moment for weeks. her keepers in yorkshire have worked on coaxing the eight—year—old black rhino to step into the crate. and now, for the final time, the barrier comes down and she's safely stowed, ready to start her journey to africa. getting a crate holding a one tonne rhino onto a lorry is no mean feat. but this precious cargo is worth the effort. chanua's new life in east africa is part of a vital conservation mission to help revive the black rhino population, a critically endangered species. she's travelling from her home in malton, down to hive in kent, where she'll spend time with two other captive females before they're all transported by air to tanzania, tojoin a new herd of rhinos brought there from other zoos. like her predecessor, almaty, who was moved to rwanda in 2019, her transition to life in the wild will be gradual, with the team helping the herd adjust. we need to assimilate them to the natural diet in the area, wean them off of the zoo food which we've been feeding her, and the dried pellets, and start introducing her to local flora, specifically alfalfa. it's a long drive down to kent. luckily, she seems to be a calm passenger, even when a stop—off at the services is needed. and finally, the first leg of herjourney is complete. lakshmi gopal, bbc news. good luck to her. i was thinking how confused she will be as the plane takes off. what a confusing thing that would be for a rhinoceros. i think she might be sedated. you mean actually asleep? i think they would be sedating because that would be traumatic. it's not a natural thing for us to fly, let alone a rhino. no, good point. well made. let's talk to nina. brute no, good point. well made. let's talk to nina-— no, good point. well made. let's talk to nina. we were expecting an announcement _ talk to nina. we were expecting an announcement and _ talk to nina. we were expecting an announcement and i _ talk to nina. we were expecting an announcement and i am _ talk to nina. we were expecting an announcement and i am wondering talk to nina. we were expecting an i announcement and i am wondering how many shops will close on how many job losses would come with it and they haven't confirmed it specifically but they told us by the end of the month we will know which stores are closing. we were expecting that but we haven't heard it specifically. some areas can no longer properly sustain a john lewis store, so regrettably, they say they do not expect to reopen alljohn lewis shops at the end of lockdown which will have imprecations for the supply chain and they say they are currently in discussions with landlords and decisions are expected by the end of march. that's because they predict 70% of sales will have gone online by 2025. eight stores were closed last year including the flagship one in birmingham, also croydon, watford and swindon and at that point 1300 jobs were lost. the last set of results showed a half—year loss of £635m, and that led to a cancellation of the annual staff bonus for the first time since 1953. this is of course part of a worrying wider picture for the high street. anchor brands including topshop and debenhams have been wiped out by covid — which has accelerated a move to online which was already happening. more widely, john lewis says there needs to be in their words a national effort of businesses, local, and national and local government of the community needed to address the high street and they say there will be job losses and theyis say there will be job losses and they is a worry about the sheer speed that covid is altering the structure of the economy. we do not know which stores will close out of the remaining 42 but we know that thousands ofjobs are expected to go with it, to put on the pile of more than 200,000 estimated jobs that have gone in retail since march of last year. thank you for that, nina. it's not every day we introduce you to a mermaid, but this morning let us transport you to the outer hebrides. out in the very far north sea is uig on the isle of lewis. it's the home of kate mcleod, and she is a mermaid. she regularly swims

whether that is in the locks, or the sea, anything and even when i was wee, i was always in the water, any chance i got. and in the last ten years or so i started winter swimming as well. first of all in a wet suit, and then gradually i got it to a swimsuit and in the last year or two i have been going on in my tale, full—time, and a bikini. it has been an interesting development, especially since

king's college london and the francis crick institute suggests cancer patients get less protection from the initialjab than others. a government spokesperson said data was being regularly reviewed and the antibody response is only part of the protection provided by vaccinations. the head of a uk press body has resigned over the statement he issued following the duke and duchess of sussex's comments about racism in the media. ian murray said he would step down from his role at the society of editors so it could "rebuild its reputation". on monday, he defended newspapers against the accusation they were bigoted, but he later faced criticism for those comments. nearly 20 lgbtq+ organisations and campaigners have written to the equalities minister to express their "deep concern" following her response to calls to ban so—called conversion therapy. campaigners say kemi badenoch failed to engage with recent calls for urgent action. the letter comes after two advisers quit the government's lgbt advisory panel yesterday in protest. the government says it's committed to building a country where everyone is free to live their lives. new research suggests people have consumed less sugar from soft drinks in the year after the introduction of a sugar tax in 2018. a study from the university of cambridge finds there has been no change in the total volume of soft drinks bought, but there has been a reduction in the amount of sugar consumed per household. researchers believe it's because manufacturers have increased healthier options. the time now is eight minutes past eight. it has been pretty —— pretty blustery for a lot of places this morning. how's that for an analysis, matt? i think it is bang on, charlie. quite a disturbed night last night. good morning. wind speeds hit 86 mph in snowdonia, the windiest spell in wales since february 2020. over a year. we have still got winds over 60 mph for some across england at the moment, particularly to southern and eastern areas. here is where the rain has been falling. it started to break up through parts of northern end, the midlands and east anglia. skies will brighten in the coming hours is the worst of those winds is down. but it is still going to be a blustery day across the board. sunny spells the rest of the morning and four eastern areas before the showers get going. showers throughout the day in the rest, some of it heavy. this afternoon it will feel cooler than it did yesterday given the strength of the wind. just how windy it will be when he hit school pick up, still very blustery indeed. particularly in the north—west of scotland where the winds will strengthen this afternoon. 65 marlborough ghosts for the hebrides. a story of showers. ever—changing skies, the winds still gusting, 50 to 60 mph across england and wales. showers will be rattling across the sky. a5 and wales. showers will be rattling across the sky. as we go through this evening and overnight showers in the south and east will fade, they keep going in the west. heavy and more prolonged later in the night. a chillier night than the night. a chillier night than the nightjust gone, with temperatures a few degrees above freezing. a5 nightjust gone, with temperatures a few degrees above freezing. as you go into tomorrow and the weekend, sunshine and showers sums it up. it will stay blustery, but not as windy as it was last night. thanks, matty. you are welcome. it's not awkward at all, is it, matt? no! good. ten minutes passed out. a boy who suffered life—changing burns in a caravan fire that killed his younger brother, is attempting to scale the height of everest, at home. harley's family was told to prepare for the worst after the fire, but he's since made a remarkable recovery. now, he wants to raise money for the charity that helped get him back on his feet. a warning, tomos morgan's report contains some images viewers may find upsetting. coming home to the house is when it really hit. everything was just so different and so quiet. on january 19th last year, zach and his older brother harley, were staying with their father in a caravan when a fire broke out overnight. harley was saved by their heroic father. but as the blaze grew stronger, zach was unable to be rescued and died. the police came then. even though i knew what they were going to say, about zach, when they said it, it was just... everything just came crashing and it was just... i was in shock. the surviving son was transported by air ambulance to bristol for immediate surgery, as mum erin made a three and a half hour drive in the car as fast as she could to be there for harley. they sat us down and said it wasn't looking very good and to obviously be prepared for the worst and for harley to not make it. no matter what they they said, couldn't prepare us for when we walked into that room. it was a big shock. he was in a critical condition on intensive care. the prognosis wasn't good. the medical teams kept preparing the family for the worst. but on week three... harley! ..harley took his first steps since the blaze. his recovery was a remarkable, miraculous, better than most had predicted. in another three weeks, he was home. and just over a year later... ..look at him now. like every five—year—old boy, he's as active, lively and cheeky as ever. and just wants to play. ok, we'll do one more slide down and then you're going to sit down. 0k. his recovery will continue at swansea over the next few years. so harley and older brother alex have decided to do something to help the welsh dragons burns club, a charity there. the boys are on day 15 of their challenge. they have 39,662 steps. are you ready, boys? yeah. go! climbing snowdon is off limits due to lockdown, so it's the stairs. but the highest mountain in wales wasn't enough of a challenge. so the aim over 12 weeks, is to climb the 44,000 steps needed to summit everest. alex, how are you finding it so far? eh, it's a bit tiring. the cause of the fire is still unknown. it's not being treated as suspicious, and the family are awaiting an inquest. every day there'll be something that will remind me of zach, or what's happened, and then i'll get emotional and it'll be hard. but then i do always have the kids to pick me back up and get on with it for them. his positivity and his energy definitely helps us all get through, i think, especially me. just seeing his his attitude towards it all is definitely what kept me going. have you done it today? no. no? are we going to do it when we get home? actually, i'm buying - something from the shop. buying something from the shop, ok. two weeks down, and if the remarkable recovery of this young lad is anything to go by, a few stairs won't be getting in his way. tomos morgan, bbc news. it is great to see those smiles. we can talk about harley's fundraising more now with janine evans from swansea bay hospital, which is where the welsh dragon burns club is based. we're also joined by 17—year—old chloe, who uses the service after she suffered serious burns seven years ago. good morning to both of you. first sarah... jenin, good morning to both of you.

years ago, the liverpool one shopping centre opened with a royal visit, thejewel in the region's retail ground. like lots of post—industrial cities, this economic anchor was a huge part of regeneration. today, across the city, and others, there is silence. the shoppers will soon return, but there will be no debenhams, there will be no topshop. there have been dozens of covid casualties in retail, and just look at the names. all areas have been affected. and with them it is estimated they have taken more than 200,000 jobs. are theyjobs lost forever? well, not necessarily. i think there is a future for the high street. we are all going to want to socialise and meet, get back together with our friends and family, and i think the high street is a perfect destination. when we come out of this, which of the retailers are going to survive and go on to do well? so, a mix of activities and shops. a lot more shops with things like beauty parlours, cafes, even gymnasiums. m&s announced today their oxford street store will be refurbished and have a gym put in there. it will have a garden attached. it will be much more of a social shopping space. that is the key word, i think, the social aspect. change is one of the few constants on the high street. from the 19405 and through the decades, littlewoods in liverpool traded on this spot, until its closure 15 years ago. now look what is in its place. when primark reopened injune, they queued around the block. they don't even sell online and yet 14 out of every £100 spent on clothes in the uk is spent with primark. and despite enormous lockdown losses, they are still planning to expand this year. when lockdown kicked in, jack thought his coffee shop was scuppered. but his customers started asking for home deliveries. rapid growth in e—commerce has given him the capital to open two more physical stores. i do believe that, you know, people are going to come back to the high street more and more as these regulations are lifted. but right now, we've just got to keep focusing on delivering the best cup of coffee, the best experience when they come into our stores, and making sure they come back as soon as possible. just keep paddling. just keep paddling! and the customers will be back soon. strangers spending time and money side by side. sharing streets and sharing stories. but where, and how much,

where you are. good morning from bbc london. and victoria hollins. scotland yard says there will be increased police patrols in the area around clapham from where sarah everard went missing a week ago. last night it was confirmed that human remains have been found in the search for the 33—year—old. a serving metropolitan police officer has been arrested on suspicion of her murder and kidnap. londoners will want to know that, thankfully, it is incredibly rare for a woman to be abducted from our streets. but i completely understand that despite that, women in london and the wider public, perhaps particularly those in the area where sarah went missing will be worried, and may be feeling scared. extra covid testing will be carried out in wandsworth after cases of the south african variant were identified in the borough. the department of health are strongly advising those people who live in the sw11 and sw15 postcode areas to take a covid test whether they have symptoms or not. tower hamlets could soon be joining the ranks of local authorities like kensington and chelsea and greenwich in being designated a royal borough. councillors believe it could be in with a chance of receiving the status because its home to the tower of london an 11th century palace where kings and queens have stayed. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube: severe westbound delays on the hammersmith and city line and minor delays on the district line between upminster and richmond and ealing broadway following a signal failure at bow road. london overground also have severe delays. there are delays in both directions on the m25 at the dartford river crossing where one of the dartford tunnels is closed following a multi—vehicle accident. there are also delays in the area because the qe2 bridge had to be partially closed earlier because of strong winds. the woolwich ferry is suspended due to the high winds this morning. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it was a very blustery night last night, and we are hanging on to those very strong winds through the course of the day. the met office has a yellow weather warning in place for the strong winds, widely gusts of 50 up to 55 mph. we will see some showers blowing through on the wind as well. they could be heavy, thundery and you might get some hail mixed in there too. sunny spells between. the wind perhaps a little lighter this afternoon but not too noticeably. temperatures getting up to 12 celsius. overnight the showers become more isolated, gradually fading away, so we get

still showers around tomorrow but again some sunny spells and it will be a blustery day but the wind not quite as strong and gusty as it is today. into the weekend, it stays pretty windy and it's not

is that really sensible? the day covid—19 was declared a pandemic. you've got to come to the games when you get the tickets, when you get a ticket, you got to come. we came over from dublin on the other three didn't come because of it. they had tickets but they didn't want to take the chance. for richie mawson's family, they believe it was the day that led to his death from coronavirus. he loved liverpool and he loved the european games. he loved them more than anything. so he decided, like thousands of others, to go to the match because the government gave them the ok that it was fine, which it turns out it wasn't. that game should never have ever gone ahead in hindsight. because spain was in lockdown at the time. madrid was the worst affected city. it was a disaster waiting to happen. soon after the match, richie fell ill. two weeks later, he was taken to hospital. in the middle of the night we heard him trying to get his breath. i was in the next room and i ran out of bed, ijumped up, to go and see him and get an ambulance and within minutes the ambulance was there. that was the last time i saw him. going in the ambulance by himself. then the next time, two weeks after, we were there all screening through a video. i will never, ever get that vision out of my mind. you couldn't go to the hospital, it was a waiting game. jamie took on the tough calls to the care team, pushing them to pull richie through. when they gave me that dreaded call to say there was nothing else they could do for him, me, as a son, as a proud me, as a son, as a proud son was saying, "no, you have to give him another week." "you have to give him another two weeks. "he is a fighter." richie died on the 17th of april. oh, god, it will haunt me to think that he went out of this world with nothing. i couldn't even go to the church. because the churches weren't open. so the funeral he got, if we would have planned it, it would never have been that. jamie is part of the covid—19 bereaved families forjustice uk group. so now we are in the process of pushing for a public enquiry and hopefully we will get the answers that we deserve. if them supporters weren't there, and obviously they were on public transport, in bars and restaurants, on city tours, i am 100% convinced he would be sitting next to me now. richie's family will never know exactly where or when he caught the virus, but some who were at anfield that night say the spanish fans shouldn't have been there. i remember my mum asking me, . "do you really want to go tonight?" i i was like, of course, it's fine, i it's been put on, it must be safe. i but when you got in the ground, i| cannot describe how uneasy it felt. and you weren'tjust at the home tie? you'd also travelled to madrid two weeks earlier? | it didn't seem a problem and it was| weird because we were on the plane and someone would cough, - and you would make a joke about it about it and think, what if? it was only when i came back that i felt really, really ill. _ it was a european tie. uefa, the game's governing body, said it wanted the match to go ahead but a month later the city council commissioned a report into the match. experts say with hindsight, it shouldn't have happened. the fact that that match went ahead probably contributed to more cases of disease. that would be very hard to prove. there is some evidence that would suggest that the cases went up, but of course cases were going up everywhere. back then there were no lockdowns in this country, so just saying we will play this game behind closed doors might have led to other problems. the government says the match took place under the clear health guidance at the time. for the mawson family, today they remember richie's last match. next month, they will mark the first anniversary of his death. it's the first of everything, isn't it? christmas, birthdays, anniversaries. it's hard, really hard. i mean, there's some people out there that have got nobody. they haven't got a voice. mairead smyth, bbc news. so what impact did events like that liverpool match have on the spread of the virus a year ago? let's speak now to professor tim spector, an epidemiologist from king's college london. good morning to you, professor. first of all, when you hear first—hand from richard morse and's family, and our thoughts are of course with them and their loss, can you take as back to how you work in terms of the evidence. we know the events took place, the liverpool match, so is there a clear and provable link between that moment in time and the spread of the virus? there is no proof of causality because we are dealing with epidemiology which is always about associations, getting two episodes in time, and one is a football match with lots of people and then a change in the incidence of new cases. epidemiology is never about proof, it is about providing evidence that supports a theory and usually that is the most likely theory, but it always falls short of proof and if you are remembering that time, back then, there was no real testing programme in place, no early warning programme in place, hospitals were not recording data well, so the only data around, really of any great note was from the app we started the king's couege the app we started the king's college app that we started on the 24th of march and started to record the cases and if you remember, it takes about seven or ten days for cases to develop and we noticed there was an increase in the liverpool area that corresponded to that game and we saw similar ones around cheltenham and south wales where there had been similar sporting events roughly in that time so there was an observation or association that makes it likely that the events were linked but certainly not prove because there are lots of other things happening, and we also know there was infection already in this country, probably from december, so it we can't blame it alljust on spanish fans. you make it very — it alljust on spanish fans. you make it very clear _ it alljust on spanish fans. you make it very clear in _ it alljust on spanish fans. you make it very clear in terms of how it works in terms of theories rather than proof, but what we do know is that as we come out of lockdown it's perfectly possible there will be major sporting occasions and there might be big crowds, so what can we usually take from what happened previously and how can we take that into what happens next because there will be people in the community who have covid. . ., will be people in the community who have covid. , . ., . .. , have covid. yes, we have to accept that 'ust have covid. yes, we have to accept that just like _ have covid. yes, we have to accept that just like there _ have covid. yes, we have to accept thatjust like there are _ have covid. yes, we have to accept thatjust like there are people - thatjust like there are people every year with flu, despite flu vaccinations and colds, we will run into them and we hope the numbers will be small and currently we think it is about one in 500 people that have covid and we hope it will be much lower than that but there will be the odd person, and what we now know is that what we thought then, or the government thought that it couldn't really spread outdoors, evenif couldn't really spread outdoors, even if you pack people together in a stadium so they thought, oh well, the evidence from china is that we won't worry too much about that and thatis won't worry too much about that and that is clearly wrong, if you have people in close proximity we can spread the virus, so we have learned that outdoors is safer than indoors but it doesn't mean you cannot transmit. we know, being close to people is a problem and we know there will be better surveillance as we have the capacity to do a million tests and when the big meeting start happening again, the surveillance programme such as ours and the government's own programme will be much more alert to this and we are looking for these things in real time rather than after the event, so i think perhaps also with testing at the grounds, so you will be able to randomly test thousand people and see how many are positive to get some idea of the likely risks, but hopefully we will not repeat the same mistakes that we did in march of last year when we knew very little about the virus and treated it like flu and we did not really think that the experiences of spain and italy applied to us and i think we have changed and now realise that we have changed and now realise that we are looking at other countries and it is vitally important to move forward and we do not have all the answers ourselves.— answers ourselves. thank you for our time answers ourselves. thank you for your time this — answers ourselves. thank you for your time this morning _ answers ourselves. thank you for | your time this morning specifically your time this morning specifically you have been looking at covid, so thank you very much. let's talk to mike, and country believe it's been a year? a sobering reminder that it been a year? a sobering reminder thatitis been a year? a sobering reminder that it is and i remember things developing quickly that week and as we heard, the cheltenham gold cup went ahead and then on friday that week we had mikel arteta testing positive for and by the weekend football was off and that was the last match in front of the crowd and it's having a big impact on the way football is played out today. the ongoing travel restrictions on certain countries are why liverpool were playing a european home match, 1300 miles from anfield in budapest. the trip seemed to suitjurgen klopp's side, who reached the quarter—finals of the champions league. they left their recent struggles in the premier league at home, and beat german side rb leipzig 2—0 on the night in budapest— mo salah with their opener before sadio mane made it 4—0 on aggregate. kylian mbappe, scored from the penalty spot for paris saint germain, as they drew 1—1 with barcelona, winning 5—2 on aggregate, but the equaliser from messi was out of this world. has got a bit of space, and so far out. he wasn't going to be upstaged, even if barcelona will be missing from the quarter—finals for the first time in 14 years. chelsea's women are through to the last eight of the champions league. maren mielda scoring from the spot, to give them victory over atletico madrid, 3—1 on aggregate. manchester city, bounced back from their defeat to neighbours, united, to beat southampton 5—2 — with two goals apiece for riyhad mahrez and kevin de bruyne. that takes them 14 point clear at the top of the table. swiss tennis legend roger federer is back and looked as good as new, after victory in his first match for 14 months. the 20—time grand slam champion was pushed hard by british number one dan evans, before winning in three sets at the qatar open, to reach the quarter—finals. in his time away federer who's now 39, had two knee operations. but he looked as fresh as a daisy despite turning 39. 405 days away, as if he had never been away. what break? let's have a look at the weather and matters with us. rather fresh this morning. ratherfresh this morning. good morning to you all and it's a blustery start of the day but nowhere near as windy as last night where wales had the strongest winds and over a year, 86 mph and you can see in newquay the sea is still up and it looks rather cooler as it will be for many but the worst is over and you notice this hook of cloud, almost like a scorpion, the sting of the strongest winds on the tail of the hook of cloud and that is now pushing across eastern parts of england, so the next few hours, eastern counties of england see the strongest winds, may be 50 or 60 mph and it will still be blustery but the winds will ease as we go through the winds will ease as we go through the rest of the day. blustery across the rest of the day. blustery across the board today and once you have lost the persistent rain we have had through eastern areas, a lot of bright weather through the morning but plenty of showers in the west and some of those heavy with hail and some of those heavy with hail and thunder and they will rush east into the afternoon so if you are watching the skies, they will change from one hour to the next and if not in a shorter space of time and don't be filled by the sunshine if you are going to head out, take something waterproofjust in case. you have to keep a tight grip on your brolly because it will stay blustery on to the end of the afternoon but by the end, drawing attention to the north west of scotland, 50 or 60 miles an hour for the west of scotland, 50 or 60 miles an hourfor the hebrides and here it will get windier, whereas elsewhere it will just be will get windier, whereas elsewhere it willjust be a little less so. temperatures in the wind will feel cooler than yesterday and temperatures for many down in single figures but across england and wales lower, so we have a bit more sunshine although it might not feel too bad and there will be showers coming through and the temperatures will drop as the showers come by and it will be a colder night tonight with some clear skies to the south and east of the country and plenty of showers in the west which will become more frequent and heavier as we head into tomorrow morning and the temperatures to start tomorrow morning will only be around between two or 5 degrees. it will be chilly out there and worth wrapping up, worth wearing something waterproof. plenty of showers in the morning pushing across all areas and again, heavy with hail and thunder and a bit of sleet and snow over the hills in scotland. the afternoon looks drier and brighter and there will still be sunshine between the showers in scotland and northern ireland but they will keep on going and temperatures will be down a degree or so on today's values. as we head into the weekend, low pressure is inching away and we will see more persistent rain on friday into saturday and there will be a weather front pushing in on sunday which will be a focus for more cloud, outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow and over the hills rather than lower levels, but saturday, a story of sunshine and showers for many of you and it feels cool in the breeze and as we going to sunday, a similar story, but next week things are looking drier again although temperatures only around ten or 11 celsius but certainly a lot less windy than today. we like it when the wind eases. definitely, see you tomorrow. taste we like it when the wind eases. definitely, see you tomorrow. we are aroin to definitely, see you tomorrow. we are going to talk — definitely, see you tomorrow. we are going to talk about _ definitely, see you tomorrow. we are going to talk about litter— definitely, see you tomorrow. we are going to talk about litter now. - it is extraordinary the number of masks that you see dumped anything, somebody has gone to the trouble of wearing a mask and was clearly concerned for their health and welfare but they are dumped. part of the litter we see routinely. i wonder if it has fallen out of pockets. i will maybe give people the benefit of the doubt. last week on bbc breakfast, we heard about the littercam — new technology that could help catch people throwing rubbish from car windows. but keep britain tidy says there's been a rise in the number of families asking for litter—picking kits to help keep their communities clean during lockdown. phil mackie's been to meet one group in birmingham you see it everywhere, whenever you go out for a walk, a run, to cycle for a drive. in a recent survey, 83% of people said they had noticed more litter during the pandemic, but something else has happened too. there's been a surge in people doing something about it. the erdington litter busters in birmingham are one of a growing number of groups across the country who are doing their bit to clean up the streaks. —— streets. it's a combination of exercise, and also a sense of achievement, also improving their mental well—being, because you go out, you litter pick, you tidy the street and you feel really good about it. whilst we set out to pick up litter, i think the spin offs have been to really lift people in this area, people want to get outdoors, and it's really lifted people's mental health as well. it's not great weather for litter picking and it's blowing around, but they come out no matter the conditions and during the pandemic people are out walking, running, cycling a lot more and that's inspired a lot more people who have seen the litter to come and join groups like this. this is andy biddle, who has founded another group in nearby walmley. he's found a hedgerow full of litter on the outskirts of the city. i've had so many people say, well done, well done, thank you for doing that. i realise i shouldn't have to do it, but i do, and as i say, it's growing, locally and nationally. public enemy numberone. hunted all over the world. messyjob. call on ldv, litter. defence volunteers. it's not as if it is a new message. they've been hammering it home for decades, but the way it's delivered has changed quite a bit. debbie and deb are out on patrol in their country park. because you are out every day, because it's the only thing you can do at the moment, you see the litter and you just think, rather than walk past it every day, i will stop and pick it up myself and take action and help the community. it's unbelievable how people can just walk along and throw litter out of the car window, orjust drop litter in a park, or on the side of the road. it's infuriating, yes, really infuriating. they are at it all weathers, a new army of litter pickers. there's very little reward, but occasionally there is a small treat. i'm bringing you a few treats for your work in the community. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. good on them. it is seven minutes to nine. what started as a promise to do a little bit of knitting over lockdown has now led to one teaching assistant, and her class, becoming internet sensations. here is the group of year six pupils from north ormesby primary

drawn a picture of the queen, and it was so lovely that i made a little doll for them as a little memento, and one of the year six children were in the room at the time, as we were teaching the key workers at school, and he asked, where is the shrek beeney and then i made a flippant remark saying, when we get out of lockdown i will make all of the year 61 and then the government announced
