Transcripts For BBCNEWS Breakfast 20240703

And scattered showers in the north, but still fairly chilly for the time of year. All the details coming up on bbc breakfast. Good morning. Its saturday, 27th april. The governments being urged to take action to stop unpaid carers unwittingly racking up thousands of pounds of debt. Carers are entitled to nearly £82 a week in benefits, but only if they owned less than £151 in take home pay from otherjobs. As a result, many end up owing money after being inadvertently overpaid. Our reporter Dan Whitworth has the details. Unpaid carers who look after a loved one do an incrediblejob. Often unpaid carers who look after a loved one do an incredible job. Often 2a hours a day, seven days a week, with very few breaks. There lies dedicated to caring for someone else. Of the nearly 6 million carers across the uk, just under1 million receive carers allowance, with about £80 a week. 175,000 of them also have a job, but there is an earnings limit of £151 take home pay a week. Go above that limit by even just a few p, and you use to make lose the entire allowance. That is what happened to karina, who cares for her daughter amber, with complex needs and needing around the clock care. Slightly above the limit at her supermarketjob, unknowingly, her supermarket job, unknowingly, but wasnt her supermarketjob, unknowingly, but wasnt told bought three and a half years, so is now in the middle of Slowly Payback £11,000.

This has been a really tough year for the royal family with both the king and the princess of wales diagnosed with cancer. Unlike and like any family, that has come as a huge blow. They have had to deal with intense media speculation. So the announcement that the king feels well enough to return to some public duties will be welcome news. The prime duties will be welcome news.

A hole in the ozone layer over antarctica, fuelled by the smoke from wildfires in australia, is exposing wildlife to potentially damaging levels of uv light. Scientists from the University Of Wollongong say animals and plants are having to adapt to avoid the rays. Heres our science correspondent victoria gill. The ozone layer that protects us from the suns most harmful rays is healing, gradually, but in antarctica, in cold, high atmospheric clouds, a hole in that layer still appears every year. That ozone thinning, or loss, used to peak in september or october, when animals and plants are tucked under winter snow and marine animals are protected by sea ice. But its now lingering until december, well into the antarctic summer, when wildlife is much more vulnerable. Researchers say that has been driven in part by smoke from the australian wildfires in 2019 and 2020, which were fuelled by Climate Change. The researchers found evidence that antarctic plants might have to put more energy into producing their own protective sunscreen compounds, and krill, the marine crustaceans that are the foundation of The Food Chain in antarctica, move deeper into the ocean to avoid ultraviolet rays, while penguins and seals are protected by protective feathers and fur, Scientists Say exposure to damaging rays could harm their eyesight. The researchers say we can no longer take the recovery of the ozone layer for granted. It is more evidence, they point out, that Carbon Emissions have to be reduced quickly so that more bushfires dont put extra pressure on a vital shield in our atmosphere. Victoria gill, bbc news. 6 14am is the time and sarah is looking at the weather today. What animal is that by due . It was a very cold morning this morning. It was. Good morning. I believe cold morning this morning. It was. Good morning. I believe this cold morning this morning. It was. Good morning. I believe this is cold morning this morning. It was. Good morning. I believe this is a i good morning. I believe this is a dear, possibly a muntjac deer, a Weather Watcher up at about early spotting some wildlife. Deer. I will stand corrected if that wasnt what it was. A cold frosty morning for deer and anyone else getting up across the north of the uk. Damp is about 3 or minus four degrees. This is redcar. Really through the weekend it will feel chilly for the time of year. There is a some rain around at times, if you are something doesnt drab something a little warmer you may well get it next week. For the here and now low pressure to the south across the bay of biscay, that is moving in stock a couple of different Weather Fronts bringing spells of rain. This is the radar from the past few hours, we have had rain for much of Southern England, south wales. Further north, unless there is goes, one or two showers around. This is where we have the goldstar to the day. Some sunshine here, these are scattered showers, further south more cloud. That initial band of Rainjackson North into well through the millers was lincolnshire but tends to peter out and therell be more heavy rain working into the south later on in the afternoon. Temperatures for most of us between nine and 1a degrees, it will feel cool, especially in the east and southeast we have brisk north easterly breeze blowing. Into this evening and tonight, clear weather in the north and northwest, but heavy and persistent rain roles in across much of england into the eastern half of wales, so a soggy, mild, cloudy start to monday. Further north it wont be as cold as it was last night, temperatures a few degrees above freezing. Into sunday, low pressure very much dominating things. Here it is working northwards. More i suppose around this area of low pressure telling us it will be a last resort of day. Fairly heavy and persistent rain tomorrow across much of england, ian swales, could be heavy showers and thunderstorms. It will be windy, blustery winds we have the rain pushing into the east of scotland, perhaps even wintry of the highest ground. Further west across scotland, Northern Ireland, wales and the southwest of england a little more sunshine, still the odd shower. Temperatures 13 or so in the sunshine only about 8 10 around the east coast and the wind as well. As we head into monday, rain but in different areas, moving on from the west, showery rain for Northern Ireland, was a box of scotland, england, wales, was further east a drier and thankfully slightly warmer day, 16 or so in the sunshine towards the east, still about 12 under the rain in the west. Looking through into the middle part of the week, we will see low pressure probably sitting out towards the west. Bit of a change in wind direction, we have the orange colours, slightly warm air mass as the womens gusty cup from the east over the south easterly direction. All in all the outlook for next week is going to be a little milder than the last week. 20 in the south through wednesday, still cool in the northeast. But unsettled and there is rain around at times next week. Thank you so much. We will see you later. Throughout the programme this morning, well be hearing from some of the nhs patients impacted by the Infected Blood Scandal in the 19705 and � 80s, as they await next months Public Inquiry report. For 35 years, dena peacock couldnt understand why she felt constantly exhausted and unwell. After repeated trips to her gp, she was told she is one of 30,000 patients who had contracted the potentially fatal hepatitis c virus, after being given contaminated Blood Products. This is denas story. Iv e ive found out in 2017, and that was through my doc, my liverfunction wasnt very good, so he insisted i have a Hepatitis C Blood Test and they said why . When im pregnant surely you test perhaps see. And he says no, we dont. I had blood in 1980, i was told at the time you are a new mum, youre going home, we recommend you have blood rather than tablet so you are fit and energetic after your baby. 1982 a had another child and ended up forceps with him as well, which meant i had blood again, recommended. So he tested before hep c and it came back that i had hep c. So i was so shot. Then everything just fell into place, all the years of being tired and getting brushed off and saying go away, there is nothing up with you. Then there is nothing up with you. Then there was the trauma of me thinking, well, ive had hep c, i could have passedit well, ive had hep c, i could have passed it on to the rest of the children, so then had to tell them, one by one, you need to get tested because you may have hep c. I might have given you hep c. Some took it ok, others were a bit worried and concerned to the impact it would have on them and their life, but luckily for me none of them have got hep c. In the meantime, i had only just got married to dave. You know, he is such a support. He could have walked away, he didnt walk away, and im so lucky that ive had a treatment for hep c, so it is undetectable at the minute, but has left me with various health conditions. The worst one being fibromyalgia for me, ibs, gastro problems, barretts oesophagus, severe anxiety and depression. Ive met loads of people with going down to the enquiry and every story is different but we are all similar in the way weve been in fact did and the way weve been in fact did and the way weve been in fact did and the way weve been treated. The government needs to stop playing with our lives for politics and just do right by people. Its kind of like a Dirty Little Secret that they buried down. And id tell people now at first it was very embarrassed, ashamed, if they can say one person through them getting tested im open about it. Ive gone through the drama and the trauma of it all now. Our thanks to dena for speaking to us. Throughout the programme will be talking more about the contaminated Blood Scandal. Tt is talking more about the contaminated Blood Scandal dont be fooled by the weather, it is spring, which for many usually means its time for a clean and spruce up, including for one of londons most famous landmarks, tower bridge.

The daily mail is one of a number of papers to carry this picture showing the king and queen smiling together in the gardens at Buckingham Palace. The telegraph has the same image, adding that the queen has been a rock for the king during his toughest test. Elsewhere, the guardian reports that almost 40 of Teaching Assistants are covering classes for at least five hours per week thats roughly the equivalent of half a terms cover during a school year. The paper says unions are warning of a desperate Recruitment Crisis that is leaving schools across the country unable to put a qualified teacher in front of every class. Chicken megafarms run by firms that supply meat to some of the uks biggest supermarkets and Restaurant Chains are causing a steep rise in emissions of toxic gas, according to the i. The paper says the industry is working to reduce emissions of polluta nts. Mike, good morning to you. Good mornin. Mike, good morning to you. Good morning we mike, good morning to you. Good morning.

Feet are firmly spread, shoulders square, so no meaning in. In the handgrip must be even. Then each match is monitored by two referees, one stands up and looks down the table, another is below looking up to make sure no other players breaking the rules of causing injury, because broken arms apparently do happen. So you have techniques, the hook or the inside arm, where wrestlers draw their opponents close. Outside Arm Wrestling all about and control, so you try to isolate your opponents so you try to isolate your opponents muscles by getting a hand in a compromising position.

Arne slot is set to become liverpools next manager after a Compensation Deal worth up to 9. 4 million, was agreed with dutch club feyenoord. Slot is poised to succeed jurgen klopp, who announced back injanuary he would leave anfield at the end of the season. Slot led feyenoord to the dutch title last season. This year theyve won the dutch cup and are set to finish second in their league. Liverpool fans, on the whole seem positive about the prospect and the departing klopp likes what he sees. I like the way his team play football. Good codes, good guy. Looking forward to follow it up if he is the solution or the man, then more than happy. It is not up to me tojudge these things, more than happy. It is not up to me to judge these things, but if its out really good. Leicester city are back in the Premier League afterjust one season away. Their promotion was confirmed, without them playing last night as they watched events in west london, which is where their nearest challengers leeds united, suffered a 4 0 defeat to queens park rangers. It means leeds are now likely to end up in the play offs with ipswich, favourites to go up automatically. They play tonight. And this superb win for qpr makes them safe and theyre now guaranteed to stay up in the championship. And with rangers so dominant, the Leicester Party could begin, before the final whistle. And this is how the celebrated at their watch party. They have broken records in the championship this season and are still on course to reach 100 points. Maybe the party is still going. They dont play until monday night at present, they can probably celebrate this weekend. Boxes everywhere. Dundee united, like leicester, will be celebrating this morning, after they confirmed their immediate return to the scottish premiership. They won the scottish championship after a goalless draw away at airdrieonians. They were effectively champions already, six points ahead of second placed raith rovers with a superior Goal Difference with two games left, but this point gives them an unassailable lead. Now its a massive day in the womens six nations and its winner takes all as england play france in bordeaux at teatime, live on bbc one. Jo currie reports.

Jo currie, bbc news, bordeaux. In rugby league, Catalans Dragons missed the chance to go back to the top of the super league last night. They were beaten 30 2 away at leigh leopards. Umyla hanley amongst the scorers, with his sixth league try of the season here. So st helens, who beat Huddersfield Giants last night, remain top on points difference. Reigning champions Wigan Warriors also lost ground in the league after they were beaten 26 10 by hull kr, so they miss their chance to go level on points with rivals st helens. The home side dominated the first half to secure a comfortable win. At the other end of the table, London Broncos winless season continued, as Castleford Tigers beat them 40 0. Louis senior make it a hat trick with this tryjust five minutes into the second half. Now to the snooker. Dave gilbert is the first man through to the Quarter Finals of the World Snooker championship after a 13 4 victory over Robert Milkins. It was a tough day for milkins, who showed his frustrations by throwing his cue to the floor. There we are. After missing a red, as he slipped 12 4 behind going into the final session. And gilbert wrapped up victory to book his spot in the last eight where he will face either shaun murphy or stephen maguire. And the 2019 champion, judd trump, is also closing in on a place in the quarters. He leads tom ford by 11 frames to five, needing just two more to seal a place in the last eight when they resume this morning. On the bbc, of course. In tennis, it wasnt a good day for brits in spain yesterday. Katie boulter is out of the madrid open. She was beaten by 19 year old American Robin montgomery. Boulter had taken the first set, but lost the next two, to pull off a brilliant turnaround. Shell play defending champion Aryna Sabalenka next. And jack draper is also out after losing to Polands Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets. Draper lost the first set 6 1, and put up more of a fight in the second, but lost it 7 5. In cricket, england start their defence of the T20 World Cup in what just over a months time and there was some positive signs from the indian Premier League. Jonny bairstow� s unbeaten century helped the punjab kings to the highest successful run chase in t20 history. Smashing all records, they were looking to set a target they were set, rather, a daunting looking target of 262, but a 45 ball century from bairstow helped them reach their target with eight balls to spare. So yes, 100 runs off just 45 deliveries. The bar keeps going up. But it gives it excitin the bar keeps going up. But it gives it exciting thank the bar keeps going up.

James is racing across the Globe Testing the latest ai translation tools. Were in miami to see the data behind basketball. Whilst youre there, why not grab yourself a beer. And turn it into leather . She sings and were on the stage helping musicians get used to what it feels like to get a Standing Ovation or a slow clap. Silence how did it do that . Thank you i think weve heard enough. Yeah. She does Voice Exercises ladies and gentlemen, i this is your call to take your places for the performance. Places, please. Places. Ok, theyre ready for you. Good luck. Thank you. Heartbeat thumps your heart is racing. The adrenaline is flowing. This is your moment. Applause its time to conquer your nerves, face the crowd, and let all that practice pay off. Sweeter than roses. Some say it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert, and forjosephine shaw, this performance is part of that journey, as she blows our socks off with a rendition of sweeter than roses to a very unusual audience. She trills ive always loved singing. My parents say i was a bit of an annoying child growing up. I was making lots of weird noises and apparently would hum myself to sleep. So, eventually, they were like, lets put this into something useful, and, um, got me some singing lessons. Talk to me about nerves. Do you get them . And how do you get over them . Um, yeah, i get nervous all the time. Getting overthem, its always a tricky balance. Sometimes the adrenaline helps you, but also you dont want the nerves to affect your singing or your technique if youre getting all tense. Music distorting, cutting out researchers here at the Royal College of music in london say that practising and then performing is very different to practising performing. And so while its difficult to get regular access to the real theatres and venues, they can simulate the experience here in their Performance Laboratory. And that simulation begins before they step out into the lights. One of the things weve learned from our research is that our bodys Stress Response to performance can be as, if not more, powerful backstage than it is onstage. Its that anticipation of performance where anxiety can really hit, and this helps us tailor our training to make sure were not only preparing them for what happens onstage, under the lights, in front of the audiences eyes, but also how theyre coping backstage. How do they manage that anxiety . How do they get themselves physically and mentally into a place where theyre ready to walk out onstage and give their best performance . The parallel to that in the surgical world would be allowing surgical students to go through the process of gowning up, washing up, doing a preoperative briefing with their team and making sure that theyre all on the same page. And once the students are onstage, George Waddell can control everything. He can change the venue. He can change the reaction to make the night go as well. Silence. Or as badly as he wants. The Performance Laboratory is running in unreal engine, the video game software. Each member of the audience is an individual video games character. They all behave independently and they dont all always show up. I got lucky tonight and whats really interesting about this space as well is there are 64 speakers hidden in the walls and ceilings, so if you change the venue, that changes the acoustics, which forces you to change your performance. Getting that sense of the acoustic makes it not so huge a jump when youre then performing onstage, compared to in all the practice rooms we have, which tend to be a much drier sound. So when its suddenly a much bigger space that you have to fill, its great to get a little bit of an experience of what it might sound like ahead of time. So, theres the prep, theres the lights, theres the sound. But lets talk about that audience. Its a weird crowd in tonight, i can tell you. We want to test our performers focus. We want to make sure they can hold it together. So that might be very subtle. A little cough, perhaps. Soft coughing and it might be more dramatic. Phone rings audience shushes the performer is expected to ignore this, i guess. Thats right. And even if theres a momentary lapse, its about then continuing after that. I mean, performers make mistakes. Its how they react after that mistake that sets apart the professional. For many of our performers, its not actually this full house that is the most intimidating to them. Its perhaps when the marketing hasnt gone so well. Spencer laughs. And there arejust a rare few in the audience. This can be quite intimidating, trying to bring that energy to a sparse crowd. Ive been there well, i think we all have, unfortunately. But this new multimillion pound Performance Lab isjust part of the work the college has been undertaking to help prepare students for The Real Thing. Heart rate and Breathing Monitors measure activity and stress levels, and special glasses can even track the musicians Eye Movements to find out if theyre being distracted mid performance. He plays sorcerers apprentice they also measure how dilated your pupils are, which can be another indicator of anxiety. Now, it is possible to practise more than just musical performances here public speaking, business presentations. The venue and the audience are ready for any type of rehearsal. And then theres this lot. Yes, you can even simulate an audition panel. George can make each of the judges purr like Sharon Osbourne or sneer like simon cowell. So what are they going to make of this little Stand Up Routine i knocked up with the help of chatgpt . Good evening. Hows everyone doing tonight . I mean, have you seen those Vocal Processers . They can turn a voice that sounds like a dying cat into something that could rival freddie mercury. How did it do that . Thank you i think weve heard enough. Yeah. Yeah, i think ill leave it to the experts. Is love to me applause and cheering oh, im living my best life best life. Alasdair welcome to miami, a city of golden beaches, glamour and entertainment. Wanting it, wanting more. And the home of the miami heat Basketball Team. I just want to celebrate lifes too short tonight im joining fans for a match. Its an experience not to miss when visiting this city as much about the pre game entertainment as it is about the sport. But this isntjust a sports team. This is a tech start up. Most people wouldnt think of this when thinking of a professional sports team, but we have a very Robust Technology operation. As spectators move around the venue, data is carefully being gathered about everything they do and purchase, before being analysed on the teams own Data Platform that they call 601 analytics. We knew that we had reached an Inflection Point and this was roughly eight, nine years ago, where we have all of this technology in the building and we wanted to know what the technology was telling us. And so we went to market to see if there was anything out there. We couldnt find anything, so we started building it for ourselves. After a few years, we found it really impacted our business. So think about from the time you walk into a building, the time you purchase a ticket, you purchase something at food and beverage. I can even see when folks scan into the building what gates theyre coming in from, so if we need to redeploy staff and release the bottleneck. We can see what people are doing in the arena. We can see whether theyre transacting with us, whatjerseys theyre buying, where theyre buying them at ourfingertips. Its like having an app for your entire business. Not only does the 601 Analytics Platform create individual fan profiles, it can also be used to analyse Historical Data and make predictions about future games. This allows the team to bring in the right resources, potentially saving money. Its perhaps not a surprise that data about all these transactions is being gathered. But what strikes me is that this is a sports club taking the tech into their own hands and spinning out a successful start up. It is an interesting model, but i think thats what contributes to our success. Because if you think of a tech company and the customers that they serve, how many Tech Companies actually live in the customers world day in and day out and get their questions and their asks and understand their problems . Now their services are being used by more than 20 of nba teams, and their market is growing, with customers beyond just the main basketball league. So, our clients range from sports teams in the nba all the way over to Venue Operators that are hosting concerts, comedy shows, different art events and things like that. We found something that we needed. Like we said, we built something that we could use ourselves, and other teams were just kind of Knowledge Sharing with us and asking us, hey, you know, what are you guys doing over there . We realised this is actually something that other teams can benefit from, so why not share the wealth of knowledge . Now this start up are taking their product outside of the us too their first venue using this tech in the uk opening in manchester this year. But back to miami, and the data being gathered at this stadium is helping in some slightly more unusual places. You might think everything here is about the action on the court, but this is miami, so of course theres a nightclub underneath the stand. So, baby, why dont you Dance With Me . Baby wanna see ya Dance With Me closer. Its a straight up nightclub. Its ultra lounge, nightclub. Loud music, lights going everywhere, cryo effects, confetti and stuff like that. So thats kind of what we do here. Data is even helping you choose the music for the nightclub . It helps us put together Music Platforms that, you know, are very, very, very broad, you know . So, pre game experience, given the fact of what our demographic breakdown is, i know that we need to play music that is going to cater, you know, from all the way from the � 60s all the way up to current music. With the game about to start, the fans are packing into the stadium, but do they realise just how much data is being gathered about them . You dont realise it, but you are aware, because when you log into your amazon account and it remembers the kind of paper towel that you last ordered, thats a piece of data on you, but you find it relevant and you find it helpful. We try to do the same thing, and were doing it because the fans expect it. With technology now impacting every aspect of running a business, im sure it wont be long before more sports teams are following the start up model of miami heat. Thank you. Time for a look at this weeks tech news. President joe biden has signed a bill that could see tiktok and in america unless its chinese owner, by dance, sells its stake in the firm within nine months.

A claim lodged at Londons High Court says highly Sensitive Information such as peoples hiv status was allegedly stare shared with advertisers. Grinder said it would respond vigorously to the claim. And after five months, nasa says its Voyager One Spacecraft has begun beaming usable data back to earth. The 46 year old probe started Spouting Gibberish in november due to a fault, but has since started communicating more sense with scientists after a successful fix. I really, really wish that i could, but unfortunately i cant speak any other languages fluently other than english. In chinese in french what if i could speak. Polish . He speaks in polish Artificial Intelligence is making it far more easy to communicate in any language, from budget options. Ai translates his speech. To some pretty high end versions aimed at the corporate sector. The implications of this tech are huge, but how good is it, and does it really work . This is how we are able to recreate an accurate. Creation of your head. The First Company were reviewing is called heygen. Now, heygen didnt want to be interviewed as part of this piece, but weve reviewed them anyway. Its simple. Try to make sure you look straight to the camera and do not look anywhere else during the recording. You upload a video of yourself, and then you just simply wait for the al to translate that video into pretty much any language that you choose. The key thing that you have to remember is you have to leave. I do a quick video of myself, upload it onto heygen and wait, and then out pops a video of me speaking the language that i chose in this case, spanish. In spanish and heres the really cool bit. When omar, the producer on this piece, got into the shot, it detected his voice was different to mine and translated his voice too. You are in shot, my friend. In spanish ive actually managed to fool some friends using this. It really is impressive. In london, theres one company thats trying to make an absolute killing out of this technology. Synthesia was one of the very few minted unicorns last year in europe, a Company Worth more than a billion dollars. Its based in london, and it makes avatars designed to be used by corporate clients. But before my avatar is made, the system has to learn what i look like and what i sound like. My name is James Clayton and this video recording. The idea is that you can generate a video of yourself saying anything in any language that can quickly be sent to employees, like a sort of visual email. If you think of tiktok� s interface, theres almost no text unless you click on the comment section. Youre literally swiping through videos, right . And i think that as video becomes so easy to produce, i think well see that more and more of our online experiences is going to be kind of video first. With my avatar created, i had a play around with it. Creating the video itself is easy, its like making a powerpoint presentation. Today we celebrate world book day. Ai translates his speech yeah, so that that feels to me like what im saying. My Hand Movement is right. Roughly, my Facial Expression is right, but at the same time, you can still definitely tell that thats an ai generated avatar but, at the same time. Is that better than just words on a page . And, actually, for a lot of people, particularly visual people, considering that thats only taken five minutes, perhaps that is quite useful. I wanted to see what victor thought of my take. I played around with it and it looks like me, but i dont think anyone will be fooled into thinking that it actually was me. What would you say to that . I think youre right. I think by the end of this year, if not before, well definitely get there. But i think what we have seen in basically all modalities, really, with al, right, is that we can all see that its very impressive, but its not really there, right . Like, Gpt Technology is still. These technologies are still not one to one on par with a real person. That said, i can see why this tech is sparking so much interest. The applications for it goes way beyond corporate videos. Weve seen that with, like, ngos all over the world where they can produce Video Content instead of Written Content for people who may have a difficult time reading if you do it in local languages. So just this kind of dissemination of information in peoples native language via video and audio is very, very powerful. Ground control. As it gets easier and easier to change the words that come out of our mouths, theres also a worry that this kind of technology could increase the amount of misinformation on the internet. I still believe. But when it comes to translating educational videos or sending a message to someone in their own language. In german at kernel brewery in londons bermondsey, something unusual is brewing. This grain left over from Beer Production is commonly used for animalfeed or can even end up in landfill, but here its getting a new lease of life. Its going to be transformed into a leather alternative known as new grain no animals, no plastic. And now its time for all of this to head back to arda Biomaterials Lab around the corner. Once these sacks arrive at the lab, its time for the process to begin. First of all, its emptied out into a container like this, and then an alkaline solution is added. Thats stirred for about an hour to extract the protein from the grain. Then the husk will be separated, and the Protein Liquid will move along to the next stage, where some Natural Ingredients will be added. This will be stirred for another couple of hours, and at this Point Protein Strings start to develop, and that means that its ready to be poured into the trays. Now, this tray here has got a pretty smooth finish, so that will create something that looks like a lot of natural leathers. If you want something even smoother than that well, theres a tray for that too. And for something thats a bit more of a crocodile look, well, youve even got a version like that. Varying the beer that the grain comes from by, say, using stout, will result in different final colours. After the materials been sitting in the tray for a day, its ready to peel off. Thats so smooth. Thats like pvc. Yeah. No, weve. Its completely shiny because its unbacked. And now thatjust needs its sustainable backing added. One of the big Environmental Issues with leather production is actually the tanning process, though and arda is hoping for a solution. We are exploring using natural colouring agents, so theres actually a lot of deep tradition in old tanning before the advent of petrochemicals or chromium tanning. So were exploring these old dyes that are naturally derived and work with the environment and biodegrade. And now for a look at some of the finished product. Weve got a whole roll of it here. It looks very much like leather. This ones quite soft. Weve got some here that have been dyed. Its external companies that do that, because thats not actually done here. But there are different textures. This is a bit harder, a bit more like a leather that maybe youd have on a sofa. Now, if i smell it, because i know that is the instinct with leather. It doesnt smell of much a bit like a new car maybe, which i guess could be the smell of leather. Its not quite the same, but they are looking at being able to customise it to smell however somebody might want it to or of nothing, possibly. These two are made from different types of beer, so the colour is authentic. They do feel less like leather to me, i think because theyre harder and more solid. The more flexible ones that are used for Something Like a handbag feel more like leather, and theyve just got that movement to them. On a big sheet here this could make a bag that could actually fit my laptop that feels a lot softer. It moves around more like leather does. But i think the main point is theres a lot of flexibility as to how the finish is going to end up looking and what can be done to it afterwards. Theres competition, though. There are lots of other leather alternatives that are coming online, and they each have different positives and negatives. Our solution offers a way to scale. Do you think its going to be cheaper than leather . Yes. How much cheaper . Well, currently, a lot of the breweries we work with at the moment give away their grain for free, so our feedstock is coming in at an extremely low value. Some of the bigger breweries sell it. Its quite low. So, at scale, we calculate that we can undercut leather and plastic leather. And when do you think im going to be able to go out and buy a handbag made out of this . Hopefully, this time next year. And its going to be a cheap handbag . Itll start as a small collection to certain clients, and then into luxury, and then slowly moving down the Luxury Market into more commodity and high street. And whats worth having if there isnt a queue or a waiting list . And thats it from us in the Performance Lab at the Royal College of music in london. Hope youve enjoyed the show. Were about to find out whether this lot have. Thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. Cheering and applause oh oh, thank you thank you, thank you good morning.

The governments being urged to take action to stop unpaid carers unwittingly racking up thousands of pounds of debt. Carers can receive nearly £82 a week in benefits but only if they earn less than £151 in net pay from other work. As a result, many end up owing money if they go above that threshold. Our reporter Dan Whitworth has the details. Good girl, thank you. Unpaid carers who look after a loved one do an incrediblejob often 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with very few breaks their lives dedicated to caring for someone else. Of the nearly 6 million carers across the uk, just under1 million receive carers allowance thats worth about £80 a week. 175,000 of them also have a job, but theres an earnings limit of £151 take home pay a week. Go above that limit even byjust a few pence and you lose the entire allowance. Thats what happened to karina, who cares for her daughter, amber, who has complex needs and requires around the clock care. Karina unknowingly earnt slightly above the limit at her supermarket job, due to overtime, but wasnt told by the Department For Work And Pensions for three and a half years, so is now in the middle of slowly paying back £11,000. The system has to be a lot simpler. The forms need to be easier to fill in so you dont make these mistakes. You have to be they need to stop the cliff edge so that if you earn over 50p too much, then maybe they take that away, not take all of it. Because theyre pushing people into poverty. Labour mp Stephen Timms, who chairs parliaments work and Pensions Committee, is urging the government to act quicker to warn those who have exceeded the earnings limit. The problem is most of those notifications seem to be completely ignored, so people carrying on carry on receiving the benefit, even though they arent entitled to it, and even though the department has been notified about that. We end up with these enormous accidental overpayments, which should never have been allowed. The dwp says Overpayments Account for 2. 1 of its £3. 3 billion annual spend on carers allowance. That works out at around £2000 worth of debt for each of the 34,000 carers with overpayments in the last year. What we would like to see is a fundamental review of carers allowance and all benefits around it, because it is a very complicated system, and if you take one little bit of it, it will impact on all the others, so it needs a fundamental review. In the short term, we need the overpayments to be written by this government in order to stop penalising the very lowest paid unpaid carers, who are looking after our most vulnerable in society. In a statement, the dwp said with growing political and public pressure on this issue, campaigners will be hoping it stays that way in the weeks and months to come. Dan whitworth, bbc news. 7 04am is the time. Charlie, we have been talking about age getting into gaza and they have been some developments now, and trying to facilitate that . Aid getting. Yes, so what were seeing this morning is british could be deployed on the ground in gaza to help deliver humanitarian assistance as part of plans to boost supplies into the territory i see. By sea. Were joined now by our diplomatic correspondent, james landale, who is in jerusalem. This is important, but sensitive, british troops being involved in that process. Tell us what has been suggested. That process. Tell us what has been su ested. , ~ . , suggested. This week the American Defence officials suggested. This week the American Defence officials gave a suggested. This week the American Defence officials gave a long, i defence officials gave a long, detailed briefing about how the new maritime aid corridor could work but they left a large gap. Americans have said no us boots on the ground, meaning the us will not be driving trucks of the Landing Craft to the Floating Pontoon, then drive onto the beach into a secure Distribution Centre where aid will be sent out from. My understanding is one option being considered is for the British Forces to do that role of driving those trucks. The americans said it would be a third party, it would be a significant partner of the United States, and i think that, what is very clear is it is just an option at the moment, no action has been taken, it hasnt reached the prime ministers desk, the mod and military here and israel are making the comment. But the british have been involved in the planning in florida and in cyprus, a british ship will be used as a dormitory for hundreds of American Servicemen and women, who will be involved in the operation, and the Defence Secretary crunch up said this week that he would continue to the uk would continue to play a leading role. An option being considered but not decided yet. Grant shapps. But it does involve British Forces potentially being put in harms way. James, thank you very much. A british man has been seriously injured in a shark attack on the caribbean island of tobago. The attack happened close to the shore in courland bay yesterday.

King charles is to return to public duties next week, with doctors pleased and very encouraged by his progress, following treatment for cancer. For his first Public Engagement since his diagnosis, king charles will visit a Cancer Treatment centre, alongside queen camilla. Our Culture Correspondent Charlotte Gallagher reports. The king and queen together in the gardens of Buckingham Palace a positive sign about the kings health. The photo was taken earlier this month, but has just been released. The palace says king is making encouraging progress and will shortly return to public facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent Cancer Diagnosis. The kings last public event was in windsor on easter sunday, and he surprised the crowds by stopping to chat, thanking them for their good wishes. Stay strong. Never give in. Thank you, that is very nice. His next visit will be more symbolic a trip to a Cancer Treatment centre. And injune, hell meet the emperor and empress ofjapan, wholl be in london for a state visit. But the kings Recovery Process still ongoing. I guess he will be taking very strong advice from his medical team not to overdo it. There is a psychological component to cancer recovery, and it is great that he feels able to go out there and do more, but he will need to be very careful that he doesnt stretch himself too much. This has been a really tough year for the royal family, with both the king and the princess of wales diagnosed with cancer. And, like any family, that has come as a huge blow. Theyve also had to deal with intense media speculation. So the announcement that the king feels well enough to return to some public duties will be welcome news. The prime minister, your majesty. The king has been working throughout his treatment, including meeting with the prime minister. Decisions about some Upcoming Events will be made by the king and his advisers nearer the time. Hes still undergoing treatment. They cant guarantee that he will undertake some of the key engagements over the summer, although theyre very hopeful that he will be able to. So you have things like royal ascot, trooping the colour, chelsea flower show, perhaps. I think theyre hoping that he will be able to go to the sorts of events, but it isnt confirmed yet. The king and catherine are two of the most senior and popular members of the royal family. Their absence has been felt by many. I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally. But there is no news about when the princess of wales will return to public duties. She announced her Cancer Diagnosis in march and has asked for time, space, and privacy for herself and her family. Charlotte gallagher, bbc news. Scotlands first minister humza yousaf says he will not resign and believes he can survive a No Confidence Vote at holyrood. His political position is in crisis after ending a Power Sharing Deal with the scottish greens earlier this week. Our reporter Catriona Renton joins us from glasgow. Good morning.

On thursday, humza yousaf abruptly ended the addressed . On thursday, humza yousaf abruptly ended the powersharing i abruptly ended the Power Sharing arrangement with the greens, finding himself in charge of a minority government, and potentially facing two votes of no confidence this week. One in himself and the other in his government. If we focus on that personal vote against himself, the arithmetic is really, really tight in the scottish parliament. There are 63 snp msps and 65 and the opposition. If all the Opposition Msps were to vote against humza yousaf, he would lose. He wouldnt be bound to resign but the pressure on him would be immense. So after ending things, ironically, with the greens on thursday, he is writing to them and the leaders of the other Political Parties in scotland to see if he can make some deals to get some support in the vote. You can rule out deals with the prounion parties, the conservatives, the liberal democrats, and the labour party, it is the independence parties you will look to for support. There are seven green msps, but they are sore after what happened this weekend, and will vote against him. As regan stood against humza yousaf for the leadership of the smp. Shejoined the humza yousaf for the leadership of the smp. She joined the alba party. She says she is open to all. Humza yousaf has said he will not resign. He has been planning these meetings with other parties in the coming days. He is also trying to reclaim the narrative. Yesterday he was talking about unAffordable Housing. In the coming days matters that he will make further Policy Announcements aboutjobs, tackling announcements about jobs, tackling climate announcements aboutjobs, tackling Climate Change, and improving Public Services as he tries to shore up support ahead of the vote which we expect to be on wednesday or thursday of this week. Catriona, thank you very much. Four vietnamese nationals have been arrested as part of an operation by british and french authorities against people smuggling. Its alleged they were part of a group which advertised small boat crossings on facebook. Another 12 people said to be linked to the same network were arrested in paris. President biden has agreed to take part in televised debates with donald trump ahead of novembers us president ial election. 12 major American News organisations wrote to both men earlier this month, urging them to sign up to three separate broadcasts. A hole in the ozone layer over antarctica, fuelled by the smoke from wildfires in australia, is exposing wildlife to potentially damaging levels of uv light. Scientists from the University Of Wollongong say animals and plants are having to adapt to avoid the rays. Heres our science correspondent, victoria gill. The ozone layer that protects us from the suns most harmful rays is healing, gradually, but in antarctica, in cold, high atmospheric clouds, a hole in that layer still appears every year. That ozone thinning, or loss, used to peak in september or october, when animals and plants are tucked under winter snow and marine animals are protected by sea ice. But its now lingering until december, well into the antarctic summer, when wildlife is much more vulnerable. Researchers say that has been driven in part by smoke from the australian wildfires in 2019 and 2020, which were fuelled by Climate Change. The researchers found evidence that antarctic plants might have to put more energy into producing their own protective sunscreen compounds, and krill, the marine crustaceans that are the foundation of The Food Chain in antarctica, move deeper into the ocean to avoid ultraviolet rays, while penguins and seals are protected by protective feathers and fur, Scientists Say exposure to damaging rays could harm their eyesight. The researchers say we can no longer take the recovery of the ozone layer for granted. It is more evidence, they point out, that Carbon Emissions have to be reduced quickly so that more bushfires dont put extra pressure on a vital shield in our atmosphere. Victoria gill, bbc news. It is 7 15. Sarah is taking us through what to expect with the weather today. That looks like it has been taken from a boat as the sun is rising. It looks so lovely, doesnt it. Almost. It is taken from an island, the isle of man. Gorgeous view over the isle of man. Gorgeous view over the sea. Good morning. It sunrises out there this morning. A fine with chilly start of the day for some of us, especially across the northern half of the uk, thats where you have the clear skies, the drier weather, and defrosted to start things off. Further south we have more cloud and outbreaks of rain and really through the weekend it is an unsettled picture, it will feel silly for the time of year. We have ran around at times, especially in the south today and in the east tomorrow. It will be a little warmer and for some of us drier at times as we had three next week. Really changeable, really up and down still with the weather at the moment. Low pressure sit ins was the south of the uk, around the bay of biscay, thatis the uk, around the bay of biscay, that is pushing north. First weather front we have this morning has been producing rain over the past few hours, Southern England, south wales, east anglia, where as to the north of that, clear skies, that is where temperatures are at their lowest, 3 and minus were part across parts of Northern England and scotland. Joe is hanging on son hanging on in the north. The cloud tends to peter allen. Some sunny spells and a few showers in the south before the next area of rain rolls and across the English Channel, arriving in the southeast later on in the afternoon. Temperature today 10 14 for most of us, feeling cooler because the quite brisk coming from a north easterly direction, but diklich all around the east coast under the cloud as well. Through the evening and night the rain in the south pushes northwards, the bulk of england and much of wales sing outbreaks of rain. Not as chilly as it was last night, eight or nine in the southeast. Underthe night, eight or nine in the southeast. Under the clear skies were scotland and Northern Ireland you are likely to see a touch of frost first thing tomorrow. Tomorrows weather will be dominated by this area of low pressure. Morais a buzz around the compared to what we have today, a breezy sort of day, especially towards the east. Persistent rain through central parts of england, as well as, that will put into northeast england, scotland as well, it will be windy in is close to that area of rain, but west is going to be best for the sunshine. Western scotland, Northern Ireland, wales and the southwest of english as a brighter weather, wanna rosellas, 13 or so here, only 8 7 with the wind and round around the east coast, could be winteriness of the highest ground. The monday, moorang, but in different working from the wetter blustery winds and showery rain across the western half of the british our isles. Further east across england a better day. An improvement compared to sunday. By monday temperatures up to 16 also. Slowly warming trend as we had three monday into tuesday. Looks like the low pressure will sit out towards the west and as the winds rotate around that they will come in more of a south easterly direction. I think you will be pleased to see the yellow and orange colours appear back on the map. No heatwave in the week ahead, but it is not looking as chilly as it has been. We could see 20 in london, presence, by the middle of next week. All across the northeast of the uk and a real mix, some sunshine around at times, not a washout next week, there will be a bit of rain around as well. Sarah, thanks so much.

Arner slot, described a nice guy from a small town in the he hasnt gone out of the netherlands before, really, but he is a perfectionist, a control freak who gets involved in every aspect of the club, goes to watch his local Basketball Team to get tips on how teams are motivated for matches, things like that. All encompassing. But apparently a really likeable bloke who is going to take the Premier League by storm, vamps. The fans seem receptive. It is a good day for puns, as we said, slotting into the Premier League. Arner slot is set to become liverpools next manager after a Compensation Deal worth up to £9. 4 million, was agreed with dutch club feyenoord. Slot is poised to succeed jurgen klopp, who announced back injanuary he would leave anfield at the end of the season. Slot led feyenoord to the dutch title last season. This year theyve won the dutch cup and are set to finish second in their league. Liverpool fans, on the whole seem positive about the prospect and the departing klopp, likes what he sees and says hes not surprised the liverpooljob is the one to finally prize him away from feyenoord.

Their promotion was confirmed without them playing last night as they watched events in west london, which is where their nearest challengers leeds united, suffered a 4 0 defeat to queens park rangers. It means leeds are now likely to end up in the play offs with ipswich favourites to go up automatically. They play tonight, and this superb win for qpr makes them safe theyre now guaranteed to stay up in the championship. And with rangers so dominant, the Leicester Party could begin before the final whistle. And this is how the celebrated at their watch party. They have broken records in the championship this season and are still on course to reach 100 points. That party can continue all through today because they dont play until monday, when they are at preston. Dundee united will also be celebrating this morning, after they confirmed their immediate return to the scottish premiership. They won the scottish championship after a goalless draw away at airdrieonians. They were effectively champions already, six points ahead of second placed raith rovers with a superior Goal Difference with two games left, but this point gives them an unassailable lead. In rugby union, it all comes down to today to decide the womens six nations. England play france in bordeaux at teatime, live on bbc one, and its winner takes all. The red roses have not lost in the competition for 28 games, but their last defeat was away against france in 2018. The girls are really looking forward to putting the performance out on the pitch and the players that arent playing in a hostile environment, like this, it is the senior place to put their arm around them and check on them, and to enjoy them and check on them, and to enjoy the moment however it is, because you dont know when it is lost. And the players that havent played in a hostile environment, like this. Ireland take on scotland this afternoon, with third place and a spot in the world cup at stake but first up wales host italy. The welsh are bottom of the table and need at least a bonus point win over italy to avoid what would be a first wooden spoon. We havent done what we needed to do in the six nations and what was expected of us. So i think that is the biggest team, the other teams, it isnt that we have got worse but other teams have caught up, and it is now about how we put our foot back on the gas pedal and get where we need to be. We know we can go and do it with the best, so that is where we want to be. Onto rugby union and saracens laid down a big marker in the defence of their premiership title with a late win against bath. They looked to be cruising, when they went 12 0 up thanks to tries from first torn parton, and this from rotimi segun. But bath fought back to level and with just minutes remaining. Owen farrells penalty sealed the win, to send sarries above their opponents into second. In the united rugby championship, ulster beat benneton 38 34 to secure a bonus point win, in their play off push. Will addison amongst the try scorers to send them fifth. A hat trick from werner kok sealed a 32 points to 27 win for sharks against the scarlets. Theat means the welsh side have now won just once in their last seven games and sit 14th in the table. In snooker, Robert Milkins says he was in agony with a bad back as he was beaten by dave gilbert, who is the first man through to the quarterfinals of the World Championship. It was a tough day for milkins, who showed his frustrations by throwing his cue to the floor, after missing a red, as he slipped to a 13 4 defeat he says it was a spur of the moment thing out of frustration. And gilbert wrapped up victory, to book his spot in the last eight where he will face either shaun murphy or stephen maguire. And the 2019 champion, judd trump, is also closing in on a place in the Quarter Finals. He leads tom ford 11 frames to 5, needing just two more to seal a place in the last eight, when they resume on the bbc this morning. Luke whitehouse has won great britains first medal, at in the european gymnastics championships in italy. His sensational floor routine landed him in top spot taking the gold, making it back to back titles for the reigning european champion. His fellow teammate, jake jarman, didnt make the medals, taking 5th place on floor. Now how about this from 23 year old american auston kim at thejm eagle la championship in california. Here she is at the 18th hole. Now, earlier in the day another american, alexa pano, had managed a hole in one on the par 312th. Not to be outdone, kim managed this herfirst hole in one or ace as theyre known at the 18th. Wow. Kim is tied fifth, seven shots behind leader australian grace kim. What a feeling. A great finish.

Naga and charlie. Thank ou, see you later. We will be back with the headlines at eight oclock. Now its time for newswatch with samira ahmed. Your comments on this weeks output from bbc news. Welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. Coming up swift mania hits the news again, some viewers say. Has the bbc gone over the top with taylor . And if thats not news, is this . She imitates seagull first more than 6000 people have crossed the English Channel this year in small boats, hoping to seek asylum in the uk. Just a few hours after parliament passed the governments rwanda bill designed to deter such journeys. A bbc news team was on a beach near calais. The police are trying to stop a small boat from leaving the shore. It turns violent, and the police are failing. The boat is dangerously overloaded. It looks like the migrants who did get onto that boat are in trouble. But as we watch, we have no idea that people on board are dying, including a seven year old girl. Andrew harding there. But did the bbc team have any impact on what happened on that beach on Tuesday Morning . Andrew smith thought so. Meanwhile, Linda Draycott had. Well, some insight into those questions was given by another reporter who was also on a beach in northern france on Tuesday Morning torn symonds. He spoke to newscast later that day. This is a 70 kilometre coastline here. Its very hard to know where these boats are going from. And we just got lucky. So the boats did come and people ran across and jumped into it and the police seemed to come at us and say, you knew that this was going to happen. And they took our ids and they were quite angry, really. And so i think they were thinking that somehow wed done a deal with the migrants to film them leaving. We absolutely didnt. And we wouldnt do that. We wanted to discuss those issues further with one of the reporters on the spot there, or an editor in charge, but no one was available for interview. Instead, we were given this statement. Mondays edition of panorama, along with shorter reports on that days bbc one bulletins showed how the Technology Behind englands so called smart motorways regularly malfunctions with potential consequences for the safety of drivers and passengers. We found that on a regular basis, much of the safety equipmentjust doesnt work either no power or the kit itself is broken so no vehicle detection, no cameras. It means the motorway is not smart anymore and youre on your own. On the plus side, we received this telephone message about that report. I was just watching your 6 00 news this evening. Instead of criticising what you do, id like to congratulate you on highlighting the failings of the smart motorways. But there was criticism, too, with Lindsay Weston making this point. Regular viewers of newswatch will know this is a complaint that has been made several times before about pieces to camera in moving cars. We put this latest complaint to bbc news and they told us. Now the news media have never been shy of covering the career of american singer songwriter taylor swift, but they have gone particularly big over the past week or two, peaking with last fridays much anticipated release of her new album. New music from taylor swift. Fans thought they were getting 16 tracks, and then, in the small hours of the morning a surprise. They scream two hours after it was released, taylor added 15 extra songs. Some media organizations have appointed taylor swift correspondents, and while the bbc hasnt gone that far, it certainly devoted significant airtime and online space to her in recent days. Stories have included a report on how the london pub, the black dog, has been overwhelmed after being named in the title of a track on the album. Fans reaction to the apparent leaking of the album online, the return of her songs to tiktok after a dispute with the app and an analysis of how the singer fits into the tradition of the poets of ancient greece. Last saturday, she was even the subject of thought for the day on radio four� s today programme. Sonia haines contacted us after watching last fridays report on the news at six. How is the fact that a pop singer is bringing out two new albums is National News when it really isnt . This is the sort of item that you would expect to see on a magazine programme. Its not the sort of thing that you are actually going to be watching on a main news channel. Another viewer who got in touch with us this week was claire maclennan, and we can speak to her now. Thank you so much for getting in touch with newswatch, claire. What was it that got you to contact us this week . Well, i heard several news programmes over several days talking about taylor swift. And ijust thought, im not sure ive ever heard this before for any other musician or artist. It seemed a major item on the News Coverage on bbc one tv at several times a day for several days. And, yeah, it wasjust, not again, you know. I suppose one counterargument might be that its notjust that she has a lot of fans. She is a huge figure, both financially and culturally in the Music Industry. Does that notjustify the proportion of airtime given to her when she put out a new album . It is. Its a fact to me, but ijust couldnt believe the level of coverage. It made me wonder, you know, really, the bbc should have been paid for marketing it. Are they desperately trying to get young people to watch or what is it thats suddenly making this a news event . Because there are very big names in the Music Industry who have not, as ive noticed, had that kind of coverage. Claire, as you just hinted, there is a question there, but how do you think the bbc can find a balance between pleasing viewers like yourself who feel the story could have been done in a couple of minutes, and the huge younger audience that the bbc is really keen to try to draw in for whom taylor swift is a very important figure . How do they find the balance . Ithink. I can see thats a challenge. I dont have answers for you on that one. Well, i can only say from my point of view. I mean, i have been young. I have lived through being really keen on pop music and screaming at different bands in my time. But it never got that kind of news attention unless something happened at that event or whatever. I can only speak from my perspective and it seems way out of line. Claire mclennan, thank you so much. Ok, thank you. Well, we asked bbc news if there was someone we could talk to on this programme about its extensive coverage of taylor swift, but no one was available. Instead, they told us. Finally, the news although not all of you think thats the right word that a nine year old boy from derbyshire named cooper has won the european gull screeching competition. His impression of a seagull, as reported on breakfast, radiotimes jeremy vine show, newscast, the news at six and other bbc outlets sounded like this. Three, two, one. He imitates seagull hes a champion seagull impersonator. As an intrigued crowd of belgian seagull enthusiasts watch on from outside, thejudges give nine year old cooper nearly top marks. After that report from danny savage ran on the news channel on tuesday evening, Maryam Moshiri tried to provide cooper with some competition. I can feel that you really want me to do an impression of a seagull, so im going to give it a go. She imitates seagull is that 0k . Im hearing in my ear that ive been sacked. Oh, well. Cest la vie, as they say. She wasnt sacked, but its fair to say ann turner, amongst others, was not impressed with the item, writing. But stephen bonaventure thought.

Well be back to hear more of your thoughts about how the bbc covers the news next week. Goodbye. Good morning welcome to breakfast with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Our headlines today. Calls for the government to take action to stop carers unwittingly racking up thousands of pounds of debt. British forces could be deployed to help deliver humanitarian aid in gaza. The king says he will visit a Cancer Centre for his first engagement since his own diagnosis hell return to public duties next week. Slotting into big shoes to fill at liverpool. Arne slot is set to become the clubs next manager after a Compensation Deal was agreed with his current club feyenoord. Good morning. Its still fairly unsettled through the weekend. Weve got some rain around towards the south, sunny spells and scattered showers in the north. But youll all notice its still fairly chilly for the time of year. Ill have all your details here on bbc breakfast. Its saturday 27th april. The governments being urged to take action to stop unpaid carers unwittingly racking up thousands of pounds of debt. Carers can receive nearly £82 a week in benefits but only if they earn less than £151 in net pay from other work. As a result, many end up owing money if they go above that threshold. Our reporter Dan Whitworth has the details. Good girl, thank you. Unpaid carers who look after a loved one do an incrediblejob often 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with very few breaks their lives dedicated to caring for someone else. Of the nearly six million carers across the uk, just under a million receive carer� s allowance thats worth about £80 a week. 175,000 of them also have a job, but theres an earnings limit of £151 take home pay a week. Go above that limit even byjust a few pence and you lose the entire allowance. Thats what happened to karina, who cares for her daughter, amber, who has complex needs and requires around the clock care. Karina unknowingly earned slightly above the limit at her part time supermarketjob, due to overtime, but wasnt told by the Department For Work And Pensions for three and a half years, so is now in the middle of slowly paying back £11,000. The system has to be a lot simpler. The forms need to be easier to fill in so you dont make these mistakes. You have to be. They need to stop the cliff edge so that if you earn over 50p too much, then maybe they take that away, not take all of it. Because theyre pushing people into poverty. Labour mp Stephen Timms, who chairs parliaments work and Pensions Committee, is urging the government to act quicker to warn those who have exceeded the earnings limit. The problem is most of those notifications seem to be completely ignored, so people carrying on carry on receiving the benefit, even though they arent entitled to it, and even though the department has been notified about that. We end up with these enormous accidental overpayments, which should never have been allowed the dwp says Overpayments Account for 2. 1 of its £3. 3 billion annual spend on carer� s allowance. That works out at around £2,000 worth of debt for each of the 34,000 carers with overpayments in the last year. What we would like to see is a fundamental review of ca rer� s allowance and all benefits around it, because it is a very complicated system, and if you take one little bit of it, it will impact on all the others, so it needs a fundamental review. In the short term, we need the overpayments to be written by this government in order to stop penalising the very lowest paid unpaid carers, who are looking after our most vulnerable in society. In a statement, the dwp said. With growing political and public pressure on this issue, campaigners will be hoping it stays that way in the weeks and months to come. Dan whitworth, bbc news. 8 04am is the time. Charlie, we have spoken a lot about getting humanitarian aid into gaza and there looks to be some moves to make that more easy . Looks to be some moves to make that moreeas . , more easy . Welcome on this occasion, it is talkin more easy . Welcome on this occasion, it is talking about more easy . Welcome on this occasion, it is talking about whether more easy . Welcome on this occasion, it is talking about whether british it is talking about whether British Forces could be involved in some capacity. Lets explain. British forces could be deployed on the ground in gaza to help deliver humanitarian assistance as part of plans to boost supplies into the territory by sea. Earlier our diplomatic correspondent, james landale, explained how it might work in practise. Well, this week, the American Defence officials gave a very long detailed briefing about how this new maritime aid corridor would work but they left a very large gap. The americans have said no us boots on the ground, that means the americans are not going to be driving trucks off the Landing Craft onto this new Floating Pontoon and then drive up onto the beach into a secure Distribution Centre where the aid will be sent out from. Now, my understanding is that one option being considered is for the British Forces to do that role of driving those trucks. The americans said it would be a third party, it would be a significant partner of the United States and i think that what is very clear as it is just an option at the moment, no decision has been taken, it hasnt reached the prime ministers desk. The mod and the military army here in israel are making no comment but remember this the british have been very, very heavily involved in the planning of this operation both in florida and in cyprus. A british ship is going to be used as a dormitory for hundreds of American Service men and women who are going to be involved in this operation and the Defence Secretary grant shapps said this week that the uk would continue to play what he called a leading role supporting this operation. So, an option being considered but no decisions yet. But as you say, hugely sensitive because it does involve British Forces potentially being put in way. James landale reporting there. A 64 year old british tourist has been seriously injured in a shark attack on the caribbean island of tobago. Were joined now by our reporter simonjones what more do we know about the circumstances around this attack . Good morning, simon, just tell us what details we have so far about what details we have so far about what happened. What details we have so far about what happened what details we have so far about what happened. Well, the victim was on holiday with what happened. Well, the victim was on holiday with his what happened. Well, the victim was on holiday with his wife what happened. Well, the victim was on holiday with his wife in what happened. Well, the victim was on holiday with his wife in tobago on holiday with his wife in tobago along with Family Friends and they were actually due to fly back to the uk yesterday but he decided to have one final dip in the sea but for the smack before his holiday ended and thatis smack before his holiday ended and that is where he was attacked by a bull shark that is he suffered serious injuries to one of his hands, one of his thighs and also to his stomach. He was raised to hospital, we are told he remains there in the Intensive Care unit. His condition is described as stable. He has undergone operations to try and reattach some of the fingers that he lost in the attack. The Authorities Say he is likely to make a recovery but it is going to take some time. The Foreign Office here in the uk say they are liaising with the family offering them all the support that they need. In terms of the attack, those on the beach so it was a really frightening experience to witness because the shark apparently suddenly appeared out of nowhere before it attacked and then afterwards, other people who were in the sea, it was only about ten metres from the shoreline, were trying to fight off the shark before eventually it swam off. Now, seven miles of coastline around that area have been shut and the Authorities Say they are working to find the shark and neutralise any threat. I think it is important to point out that although they do make the headline shark attack or to remain rare. Statistics compiled in florida say that last year worldwide, there were 69 shark attacks and 14 of those proved to be fatal. An investigation currently under way in tobago and the key thing now is to try and find that shark. ,. ,. , ~ thing now is to try and find that shark. ,. ,. ,. , thing now is to try and find that shark,. ,. , ~ ,. ,. King charles is to return to public duties next week, with doctors pleased and very encouraged by his progress, following treatment for cancer. For his first Public Engagement since his diagnosis, king charles will visit a Cancer Treatment centre, alongside queen camilla. Our Culture Correspondent Charlotte Gallagher reports. The king and queen together in the gardens of Buckingham Palace a positive sign about the kings health. The photo was taken earlier this month, but has just been released. The palace say the king is making encouraging progress and will shortly return to public facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent Cancer Diagnosis. As the First Anniversary of the coronation approaches, their majesties remained deeply grateful for the many kindnesses and good wishes they have received from around the world, throughout the joys around the world, throughout the joys and challenges of the past year. The kings last public event was in windsor on easter sunday, and he surprised the crowds by stopping to chat, thanking them for their good wishes. Stay strong. Never give in. Thank you, that is very nice. His next visit will be more symbolic a trip to a Cancer Treatment centre. And injune, hell meet the emperor and empress ofjapan, wholl be in london for a state visit. But the kings Recovery Process still ongoing. I guess he will be taking very strong advice from his medical team not to overdo it. There is a psychological component to cancer recovery, and it is great that he feels able to go out there and do more, but he will need to be very careful that he doesnt stretch himself too much. This has been a really tough year for the royal family, with both the king and the princess of wales diagnosed with cancer. And, like any family, that has come as a huge blow. Theyve also had to deal with intense media speculation. So the announcement that the king feels well enough to return to some public duties will be welcome news. The prime minister, your majesty. The king has been working throughout his treatment, including meeting with the prime minister. Decisions about some Upcoming Events will be made by the king and his advisers nearer the time. Hes still undergoing treatment. They cant guarantee that he will undertake some of the key engagements over the summer, although theyre very so you have things like royal ascot, trooping the colour, chelsea flower show, perhaps. I think theyre hoping that he will be able to go to the sorts of events, but it isnt confirmed yet. The king and catherine are two of the most senior and popular members of the royal family. Their absence has been felt by many. I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally. But there is no news about when the princess of wales will return to public duties. She announced her Cancer Diagnosis in march and has asked for time, space, and privacy for herself and herfamily. Charlotte gallagher, bbc news. Scotlands first minister humza yousaf says he will not resign and believes he can survive a No Confidence Vote at holyrood. His political position is in crisis after ending a Power Sharing Deal with the scottish greens earlier this week. Our reporter Catriona Renton joins us from glasgow. Catriona, what more did humza yousaf have to say . We know this No Confidence Vote will be going ahead next week and we are learning a bit more about the first ministers approach to what is coming up . Ministers approach to what is coming up . Ministers approach to what is cominu u . ,. , coming up . Good morning to you as well. First minister coming up . Good morning to you as well. First minister humza coming up . Good morning to you as well. First minister humza yousaf i well. First minister humza yousaf said he is confident he will win the vote and not resigned but it is no exaggeration to say that he is fighting for his political life. This all started when he ended the Power Sharing agreement with the greens on thursday and now he potentially faces these two votes of no confidence next week, one in himself and one in his government. The arithmetic is very tight and he will need the support of at least one opposition msp if he is the survivor. He has written to all of the Party Leaders asking them for talks on where they can find common ground. Ithink talks on where they can find common ground. I think it is safe to say we can rule out any deals with the prounion parties, labour, conservatives, lib dems. Somewhat ironically perhaps you might think, humza yousaf is reaching out to the green to be dumped but they are sore and say they cant trust him. Humza yousaf said yesterday he didnt mean to upset or anger the greens and there are a lot of issues that both there are a lot of issues that both the snp and the greens share. His only other potential lifeline to the alba partys msp ash regan who left the snp, now shes open to talks. If he makes concessions to her, could it rock the boat elsewhere . If he loses the vote to himself, he is not legally bound to resign but you can imagine the political pressure that he is under. Humza yousaf is trying to reclaim the narrative. We also expect a raft of Policy Announcements this week. Yesterday, he made an announcement on Affordable Housing and we are expecting other announcements on things such as plans to create jobs, tackle Climate Change and improve Public Services. As he tries to shore up his support ahead of those votes are expected this week. Catriona, thank you very much.

For many people, their pets are simply part of the family but old age can mean that some owners no longer feel they can give them the exercise and care they need often resulting in the animal needing to be rehomed. The charity, age uk is helping hundreds of older people in york to keep their beloved pets, by pairing them up with volunteers who help with walks and vet appointments. Our reporter phil connell has more. One more. Thats it. Come on up. Leonora is 80 years old and lives in york with herjack russell dog freddy. A four Legged Friend who for ten years, has been constantly by her side. In recent years, though, leonoras Failing Health means caring for freddy hasnt been easy. Its just so frustrating that i cant move around as fast. But he seems to sense it. So what does this little dog mean to you and what would life be like without him . Ive dread to think of it i keep telling him he cant go before me. I said no. Hes got to outlive me. And here in york, kirsty dickson, is ensuring that lifeline continues. Shes one of 100 volunteers in the city helping older people to keep their pets at home. A bit of extra help with walking freddy, which means he and leonora can stay together. With leonora, if she didnt have this service, she would have to. Shed have to give up freddie. And, you know, he is her little friend and lifeline. So we know what freddie gets from this. But what do you get from being a volunteer . Oh, ijust love it. They are part of the family. And the thought of having to give up your pet. Oh, my goodness. You know, it brings it brings tears to my eyes now, just thinking about it. Animal care is provided by a few other smaller charities, york is the only place where age uk provides this special service. A lifeline for thousands of people they now hope to extend across the country. Here we go, in you go, little man. And after a good long walk with kirstie, freddy is happy to be home, ready to spend the day with leonora, her friend and loyal companion. Phil connell, bbc news, york.

We have been talking about this i laugh like that moment go away. I we have been talking about this this morning. The chair of the work and pensions select committee, labours sir Stephen Timms, is urging the government to take action to stop carers unwittingly racking up debt. Tens of thousands of carers have been told to repay some of their benefits, after earning more than the rules allow. Dan whitworth from radio 4s money box is here to explain. Youve been looking into this story. I think its fair to say, is gaining momentum in terms of something has to be done. Do you want to start with the reminder of how easily people can unwittingly fall foul . Abs, people can unwittingly fall foul . Couple of numbers to start with. There is nearly a million carers right across the uk receive a carers allowance, worth about £82 per week. Carers allowance, worth about £82 perweek. If carers allowance, worth about £82 per week. If they get that, there is an earnings limit, they are not allowed to earn above £150 per week take home pay, because the idea is you are not working, youre getting the benefits. But carers say it is a very complicated system and it is easy to stray above that. I dont know about you but i couldnt keep that tight a limit on how much im earning. If you work in a supermarket, occasionally you might get asked to do a couple of extra hours over time and that might push you above the limit, the whole issue here is this benefit is what is called a cliff edge benefit. If you go above that £151 per week, you lose your entire allowance. The issue that a lot of carers are having as they are doing that unknowingly, again, a lot of critics say its a complicated system. To give you an example, a lady ive been speaking to, karina, she does a remarkablejob caring been speaking to, karina, she does a remarkable job caring for her daughter, a lovely lady, and her daughter, a lovely lady, and her daughter requires round the clock care so that is enough of a job for karina to get her head round, love and devotion she gives to her daughter. But she slipped above this earnings limit several years ago, she wasnt alerted by the Department For Work And Pensions until three and a half years later, and what that means is she told me shes in the process of paying back thousands of pounds to the dwp. fist the process of paying back thousands of pounds to the dwp. The process of paying back thousands of pounds to the dwp. At the moment i a £60 of pounds to the dwp. At the moment i pay £60 per of pounds to the dwp.

And i will be paying less than the £11,000. And i will be paying less than two and 73. I have another 11 less than two and 73. I have another it years less than two and 73. I have another it years of less than two and 73. I have another 11 years of paying £60 per month. Which 11 years of paying £60 per month. Which takes money out our income, its which takes money out our income, its money which takes money out our income, its money that would help me run the car. Its money that would help me run the car.

And im not getting the carers allowance because not getting the carers allowance because im too scared to apply for it. Just because im too scared to apply for it. Just in because im too scared to apply for it. Just in case i made that mistake again it. Just in case i made that mistake aaain. ,. ,. , it. Just in case i made that mistake aiain. ,. ,. ,. It.

You alerted that the dwp does notify if you have gone again. You alerted that the dwp does notify if you have gone over again. You alerted that the dwp does notify if you have gone over that notify if you have gone over that limit, but thousands, how has that been allowed to happen . Essentially, the e department been allowed to happen . Essentially, the e department for been allowed to happen . Essentially, the e department for work been allowed to happen . Essentially, the e department for work and the e Department For Work And Pensions told me that carers are Unsung Heroes and they do an incrediblejob, and also Unsung Heroes and they do an incredible job, and also that they have a responsibility, this is carers, they have a responsibility to inform the dwp of any change in their circumstance to make sure that their circumstance to make sure that the welfare system is fair for taxpayers and for claimants. The issue is, its a very complicated system, and to inform the dwp that you have gone. It can speed a few pence over the limit, you have to stop claiming it, then next week if you go under the limit you have to reapply. Its not a system that is working very well for carers. Another number, 34,500 carers received overpayments last year. Again, the dwp says theyve spent £3. 3 billion a year on this allowance, a lot of money, and only 2. 1 of that is overpayment. But you do the maths on that, those 34,000 carers, thats an average of two and a half thousand pounds. These are not well off people, a lot of them are doing very good work on very limited small incomes and that is something that Stephen Timms, who chairs the work and pensions select committee, he told me that alert issue about the dwp telling carers as soon as they know, he says that has to happen urgently. Cliff as soon as they know, he says that has to happen urgently. Has to happen urgently. Cliff edge is a troubling has to happen urgently. Cliff edge is a troubling feature has to happen urgently.

It would be a major it project to introduce it would be a major it project to introduce the taper into the allowance. It is not going to happen very quickly. I think the Department Needs very quickly. I think the Department Needs immediately the deal with this problem needs immediately the deal with this problem about the notifications for people problem about the notifications for people going over the earnings limit and then people going over the earnings limit and then take a bit longer to think about and then take a bit longer to think about a and then take a bit longer to think about a longer term reform for the whole about a longer term reform for the whole system.

But there is growing political pressure, when you had ed davey, and there are former secretaries of states, Iain Duncan Smith has called for these repayments to be paused while an investigation goes on, there is growing pressure of a political and public. You have covered this issue, lots of people, there is growing public pressure as well, and there are reports this morning that rishi sunak is taking an interest in this.

There might be a new star that will be rolling off the tongue . He may not be a big star outside of the netherlands, but his record there has been brilliant, and arner slot is set to become liverpools next manager, after a Compensation Deal worth up to £9. 4 million was agreed with dutch club feyenoord. Slot is poised to succeed jurgen klopp, who announced back injanuary he would leave anfield at the end of the season. Slot led feyenoord to the dutch title last season. This year theyve won the dutch cup and are set to finish second in their league. Liverpool fans on the whole seem positive about the prospect and the departing klopp likes what he sees and says hes not surprised, the liverpooljob is the one to finally prize him away from firenord.

Their promotion was confirmed, without them playing last night as they watched events in west london, which is where their nearest challengers leeds united suffered a 4 0 defeat to queens park rangers.

They play tonight and this superb win for qpr makes them safe and theyre now guaranteed to stay up in the championship. And with rangers so dominant, the Leicester Party could begin, before the final whistle. And this is how the celebrated at their watch party. They have broken records in the championship this season and are still on course to reach 100 points.

Umyla hanley amongst the scorers, with his sixth league try of the season here. So, st helens, who beat Huddersfield Giants last night, remain top on points difference. Reigning champions Wigan Warriors also lost ground in the league, after they were beaten 26 10 by hull kr, so they miss their chance to go level on points with rivals st helens. The home side dominated, the first half to secure a comfotable win. At the other end of the table, London Broncos winless season continued, as Castleford Tigers beat them 40 0. Louis senior made it a hat trick with this try early in the second half. In snooker, Robert Milkins was beaten by dave gilbert. The first man through to the quarterfinals.

Jonny bairstow� s unbeaten century helped the punjab kings to the highest successful run chase in t20 history. They were set a daunting looking target of 262, but a 45 ball century from bairstow helped them reach their target with eight balls to spare. So, 100 runs offjust 45 deliveries.

If you know somebody who can help. Summary will tell us. Heres sarah with a look at this mornings weather. Good morning. A bit of a mixed picture this morning. For some of us, blue skies and sunshine, this is the pressure in aberdeen, some Early Morning swimmers. The sea temperature is only about 8 or 9 celsius stop in the air temperature only about six celsius at the moment. Plenty of blue sky and sunshine to come. We have some frost around across the northern half of the uk and through the course of the weekend, its going to continue to feel quite chilly for the time of year. Some rain around at times. A little bit warmer as we head into next week but staying unsettled. Low pressure never far away. We next week but staying unsettled. Low pressure neverfar away. We have next week but staying unsettled. Low pressure never far away. We have a couple of Weather Fronts, this one pushing north across parts of england and wales. This is where weve already seen the rain, particularly heavy in east anglia. To the north, most places relatively dry and clear with some sunshine. A few showers and they will be most frequent across the north west of scotland. Further south, a bit brighter along the south coast which could spark off some sharp showers. More persistent rain arrives around the south coast again later in the afternoon. Temperatures today for most of us between 9 and 14 but it will feel quite cool, especially if youre underneath the cloud with the north easterly breeze. This evening tonight, this area initially in the south pushes north across the bulk of england and much of wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland still keeping the clearer skies. It will not be as cold as last night but we are likely to see a touch of frost, to three celsius in towns and cities. But frost free further south. Sunday, still dominated by low pressure. It will push its way gradually northwards, eventually clearing into the north sea. But we have some persistent rain, for central and northern parts of england into east wales. There could be some heavy showers and thunderstorms for east anglia and the south east. Wendy near the east coast. Windy. Many of us seeing some wet weather but across the western half of the British Isles you will see something but are developing. Sunny spells and temperatures about 8 in aberdeen, up to about 13 in glasgow. Monday, more rain but this time its arriving from the west is a showery rain from Northern Ireland, scotland and western parts of england and wales. Further east, staying dry and at last things turning a little less chilly. 16 celsius will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. Heading towards the middle of the week, low pressure sitting out towards the west. That will bring in this breeze from a more south easterly direction. So you will notice the temperatures particularly in the south rising, we could see 20 by the middle of the week. Still quite cool for the north and its a real mix. Sunny spells, scattered showers and not as chilly as it has been. Sarah, are you a games console kind of a person . I sarah, are you a games console kind of a person . Of a person .
