officers are warning anyone who sees habibur masum to call 999 immediately. our north of england correspondent, danny savage has the latest. habibur masum, wanted by police. this cctv of the 25—year—old was taken on saturday, after he's suspected of carrying out an horrific attack on a woman he knew. she has now been named as kalsuma akter. she was attacked and stabbed multiple times. emergency services were called at 3:21pm. however, despite the best efforts of members of the public, ambulance crews and hospital staff, kulsuma sadly lost her life due to the injuries. her baby is safe and well and was not harmed in this incident. the 27—year—old mother was pushing her baby in a pram on a normally busy road in the centre of bradford.

the shocking incident has deeply affected those who tried to help kulsuma in the moments after the attack. i heard screaming and i came out, run towards to where the scene happened. and then, what i did, i tried to check her pulse and everything but there was no pulse. and then, within a few minutes, doctorarrived. police say habibur masum, seen here on his own youtube feed, knew kulsuma akter but won't elaborate on the exact relationship. they're both from oldham and he has links to burnley and chester, where police raids have since taken place. the attack happened at about 3:20pm on westgate in bradford. ten minutes later, habibur masum gets on a bus in the city centre. shortly afterwards, he gets off near bradford moor park and hasn't been seen since. west yorkshire police has also referred itself to the independent office for police conduct over contact it had with the victim

before she died, although it won't give any details about exactly what that contact was. cctv cameras overlook the crime scene. what they recorded will be vital in the investigation. police say a knife was recovered here. anyone who sees habibur masum is being warned not to approach him and immediately call 999. danny savage, bbc news, bradford. this morning, that manhunt continues. our reporter alison freeman is in bradford this morning. bring us up—to—date, please. bring us up-to-date, please. there has been a — bring us up-to-date, please. there has been a whole _ bring us up-to-date, please. there has been a whole raft _ bring us up-to-date, please. there has been a whole raft of— bring us up-to-date, please. there has been a whole raft of new - has been a whole raft of new information in the past 2a hours about this really rather shocking incident. yesterday afternoon, police named the victim as kalsuma akter from police named the victim as kalsuma akterfrom oldham. she had been

walking here with her baby when the attack happened. she was stabbed multiple times and died later in hospital. despite the efforts of an off duty doctor who was nearby and the paramedic services. the baby has been unharmed. police say they are looking for 25—year—old also from oldham. they were known to each other. it is understood he was in fact on bailfor other. it is understood he was in fact on bail for assault and threats to kill the victim. charges which he denied when he appeared in court. both west yorkshire and greater manchester police forces have now referred themselves to the i0 pc, the police watchdog, because they had prior contact with the victim. police say habibur masum got onto a bus ten minutes after the attack. ten minutes after that he was seen at a nearby park. you may have been picked up by a taxi. police are

asking any drivers he may have picked him up to contact him. if anyone sees a suspect, he should not be approached and anyone who sees him should call 999 immediately. thank you very much. we will come back to you if anything changes later on in the programme. what else do we need to know today? it is a big day in london. the public inquiry into the post office it scandal resumes today, with prominent campaigner alan bates due to give evidence later. this stage will see senior figures from the post office, royal mail and fujitsu also face questions — including former post office chief executive, paula vennells. here's our business reporter, peter ruddick. the man who took on the post office. his story might now be known around the world, but today alan bates will once again be explaining how he was affected by a scandal dubbed the most widespread miscarriage ofjustice in british legal history. his testimony kicks off the latest phase of an inquiry that's been hearing evidence for more than two years

but that will now turn to the crucial question of who knew what and when. former royal mail group boss adam crozier is one of a handful of seniorfigures due to appear this week. they're followed later this month by angela van den bogerd, whose role in the post office prosecution of innocent subpostmasters has been heavily criticised. ex—chief executive paula vennells, who was stripped of her cbe earlier this year, will give three days of evidence in may. she will be asked about a draft report uncovered by the bbc, which shows the post office carried on using public money to fund court action, despite knowing its defence was untrue. in fenny compton, where the fightback began, victims told breakfast and the post office minister their battle was still farfrom won. the life is slipping away. i've spent now 37 years in the post office, so it feels like the life

has been wasted. it feels like being stabbed in the back for serving the very people, for the very nation on behalf of the government. everybody's going to get through it. and the fact that when i was in hospital, the post office sent their own personal doctors to see if i was actually ill, that's what really hurt the most. the journey for all of us has been so painful that we feel— it every day, you know? and we still have to give each other support because it's not over. - it's still ongoing i and it's still tough. you know, it's hard - to get up every morning and keep battling along. from the minister, an apology. well, can i first say sorry — for everything — everybody in this room and for the thousands of people around the country? decent lives wrecked through this. and a clear statement of how he wants the scandal to end. people should be prosecuted. that's my view.

and i think you and other people i've spoken to, i certainly feel. people within the post office and possibly further afield should go to jail. post office ltd is stealing my livelihood... january's tv drama means the long—running inquiry may now also become a ratings winner. it's expected to conclude this summer and make recommendations for further action next year. peter ruddick, bbc news. our business correspondent theo leggettjoins us now. morning. just explain to everyone watching at home how important today is. ~ . , watching at home how important today is. ~ ., , , , is. what will we see? it is very important _ is. what will we see? it is very important indeed. _ is. what will we see? it is very important indeed. in _ is. what will we see? it is very important indeed. in this - is. what will we see? it is very| important indeed. in this phase is. what will we see? it is very . important indeed. in this phase of the inquiry, which is coming to the later stages. the inquiry, which is coming to the laterstages. it the inquiry, which is coming to the later stages. it has been very long running, going for two years. we will hearfrom the

running, going for two years. we will hear from the central figures. chief amongst them today alan bates himself. many will know him as a central figure himself. many will know him as a centralfigure in the itv himself. many will know him as a central figure in the itv drama alan bates versus the post office. let's not forget hundreds of people were prosecuted, somejailed not forget hundreds of people were prosecuted, some jailed and not forget hundreds of people were prosecuted, somejailed and many remained. he has a lot of forthright things to say about how they were treated and the time it has it has taken to get to this stage. this week we will hear from adam krejza, who was chief executive. he has not really been in the spotlight yet but may be now. then three days of questioning of paula vennells. the conservative mp william wragg, has stepped down from his position as vice—chair of the party's backbench 1922 committee. he's apologised after admitting he shared the phone numbers of colleagues with someone he met on a dating app. mr wragg is leaving

parliament at the general election and has so far faced no disciplinary action by the conservative party. simon harris is expected to be formally appointed as the new irish prime minister today. aged 37, he'll be the youngest person to hold the post. he replaces leo varadkar, who announced last month that he was stepping down for personal and political reasons. mr harris has already been nicknamed the "tiktok taoiseach" because of his social media skills. that is hidden in those needing pitches, not the one we showed behind me. around 100 people have been evacuated from a holiday park in west sussex after severe flooding caused by high tides and winds. the fire service and the coastguard have been rescuing residents overnight. elsewhere in the region, heavy rain has caused the river arun has burst its banks — with residents being advised to move to the upper floors of their homes. last month was the hottest march

ever recorded, according to new data from the eu's climate change service. it's the tenth month in a row that a new air temperature record has been set — and sea surface temperature rises were even more dramatic. here's our climate editor, justin rowlatt. last week, the president of zimbabwe declared a national disaster because of a deep drought in the country. low rainfall has slashed crop yields, driving up food prices and putting an estimated 2.7 million people at risk of hunger. it is just one example of a pattern of heat and drought affecting countries as far afield as southern europe and southeast asia. this graph shows how march continued the world's run of record—breaking monthly temperatures. this extreme heat has got many climate scientists worried. the reality is that we can quantify a large proportion of the extra heat that's causing these records, but not all of it. so there needs to be a lot more science, and there will be much more

science coming out over the next weeks and months to try and understand what's happening to our climate system, and are we in a new phase? scientists agree what is causing climate change — it is the vast quantities of planet—warming gases humanity has been pumping into the atmosphere. and in recent months, a recurring weather event known as el nino has been adding an extra blast of heat into the air. that is weakening now, so temperatures should begin to fall back later in the year. the problem is, sea temperatures remain extremely high, hitting many of the world's coral reefs hard. that suggests global temperatures might not fall back as expected — a sign, fear some scientists, that the world could be entering a new phase of more rapid climate change. justin rowlatt, bbc news.

some stunning pictures. thank you forjoining us this morning. not sure what the temperatures here have in store for us. i know someone who can tell us. in store for us. i know someone who can tell ve— can tell us. good morning. the temperatures _ can tell us. good morning. the temperatures today _ can tell us. good morning. the temperatures today will - can tell us. good morning. the temperatures today will be - can tell us. good morning. the temperatures today will be a l can tell us. good morning. the| temperatures today will be a bit lower than yesterday. it will feel cooler. notjust that, it will be wet and windy. there will be gales across parts of the south west. it will brighten up later on. at the deluge of rain falling on already saturated ground. the heaviest has been across north—west wales, cumbria and scotland. all pushing north and east as we go through the course of the day. quite a lot of cloud and market conditions. behind it will brighten up. we will see sunshine and showers. i mentioned that gail across parts of west wales and the south—west through the english channel. whether you are it

will be fairly gusty. temperatures down, feeling cool if you are exposed to the wind and rain. eight to 13 degrees. yesterday we more or less made it to 19 degrees in kew gardens. into the evening and overnight eventually the rain were clear. some clear skies full time. the touch of frost in parts of scotland and the north of england. the next weather front coming in from the west along with some rain. temperatures tonight cold enough for a touch of frost. we start off with some sunshine first thing tomorrow. then the cloud will build and the rain will arrive. that will push unsteadily eastwards. we are pulling in milder air unsteadily eastwards. we are pulling in milderairso unsteadily eastwards. we are pulling in milder air so tomorrow the temperatures will be higher than they are going to be today. i lose temperatures will be higher than they are going to be today. i love a milder air- — they are going to be today. i love a milder air. thank— they are going to be today. i love a milder air. thank you. _ let's take a look at today's papers.

a mix of stories on the front pages. the daily mail reports that a record number of more than 800 council workers are earning salaries higher than £150,000, according to the tax payers' alliance rich list. the guardian leads on keir starmer facing pressure to resurrect a sure start—style programme to help children from lower income families. the paper includes quotes from gordon brown, who says the lack of such a programme has "set back opportunities for millions of children". we will talk about that with rachel reeves data. this story says she is promising a crackdown on tax avoidance. so much focus on the labour party now heading into bed next general election. how will she change her policy after the

conservatives, she will say, adopted some of her policies in the budget? we will ask her later. cancer patients are marooned as campaigners are highlighted. i7 patients are marooned as campaigners are highlighted. 17 million people would have to travel over 45 minutes for treatment. would have to travel over 45 minutes fortreatment. it would have to travel over 45 minutes for treatment. it is a0 years would have to travel over a5 minutes for treatment. it is a0 years since europe's first successful heart and lung transplant was carried out at the royal papworth hospital in cambridge — establishing it as one of the world's leading transplant centres. since then around 3,000 similar procedures have been carried out and our reporter nikki fox has been to see how staff and patients have been celebrating the milestone. a0 years ago, royal papworth hospital in cambridgeshire established its reputation as an internationally—recognised transplant centre. charlie tango 7 is escorting london ambulance with transplant patient on board. performing europe's first ever

successful heart—lung transplant, 36—year—old brenda barber became a national celebrity overnight and lived until 199a. professorjohn wallwork led the operation. he trained in california, bringing his skills across the atlantic. it's the whole issue of taking somebody who's really, really sick and somebody who's got really severe heart failure or lung failure, and they really are breathing their last. and putting a new heart in there or the heart and lungs, they become pink and they go back to living a normal, active life. and it's that transformation that you get out of an organ transplant. it is remarkable to see and to see the patients do well. i'm good, how are you? four decades later, some of the staff that led that operation are being reunited with other patients they've helped. katy mitchell had her heart—lung transplant in 1987. she was so ill beforehand, her lips had turned blue. if i hadn't had it, i wouldn't probably have lasted out the year. so it's been such a big...

it's a big thing. and after transplant, all i wanted to do was just sort of be normal. i went back to school, got qualifications, went to work, and i've always just done everything to sort of live a normal life, as it were. some of the hospital's own staff have even been helped by this world leading centre. hazel farren was a senior sister for most of her career. this hospital, four years ago, saved my daughter's life. she was very, very sick with a heart condition and had emergency surgery. and i will be forever grateful for that. so what else can you say? you know, i've had a fantasticjob for 40 years. they've saved my daughter's life. meanwhile, professor wallwork went on to perform the world's first heart—lung and liver transplant. john, i know you're quite modest about this, but i found this guinness book of world records. there's. .. there's the entry. yeah, heart—lung and liver. how does it feel to actually be

in a book like that? well, it's the only publication my children have ever read. but what's the future? human stem cells are being grown into artificial organs, but it's a long way off. and, in america, the first pig kidney has been transplanted into a human. today is the day the first human, who had a kidney transplant from a pig kidney in america went home. so i think the use of other organs for transplantation will be very important. i think growing organs is a little bit more difficult than that. the team hopes, in another a0 years, the research here will provide many more stories like kate's to tell. nikki fox, bbc news. millions of people witnessed history yesterday — as a total solar eclipse plunged parts of north america into darkness for four minutes. as day turned to night, people gathered to watch the phenomenon and our north america reporter nada tawfik was with them.

cheering. scenes of awe and wonder all along the eclipse's path of totality. crowds on the beaches of mexico's west coast were the first to experience the astrological phenomenon as the moon passed in front of the sun, completely blocking its light. over the next two and a half hours, cities large and small were plunged into darkness as the great north american eclipse made its way across the united states and canada. in russellville, arkansas, two life—changing moments at once... cheering. ..as these 300 couples tied the knot in a mass wedding. and living life in the fast lane — these spectators captured it from the indianapolis motor speedway. those who viewed the cosmic event from the natural wonder of niagara falls — including this bbc team — had the weather to contend with,

but a full day of cloudy skies didn't dampen the mood. the crowd here isjust jubilant and excited, and you can see just how dark it is. then, a stroke of luck — a break in the clouds. there it is! wow, that is spectacular! oh, wow, that is fabulous. here we go, it is fully... you can see it fully now. onlookers said the moment was indescribable. it was so nice to be connected with so many different people, you know, just humanity watching this kind of amazing natural phenomenon happening. i found it really moving. it's really one of those things where you hear everyone, like, gasp and yell and it'sjust... it's amazing. we really wanted to see the total darkness. - that was crazy to witness. the sun's corona and its flares will be studied by nasa. for this astronaut, though, the significance of the eclipse isn't rocket science. it does make you feel a little bit small. you have these huge heavenly bodies

moving through the sky. it does humble a person to think about the majesty of our planets. if anything puts our place in the universe into perspective, this is it — and it's hard to find something 30 million people can agree on. nada tawfik, bbc news, niagara falls, new york. we're joined now by parshati patel, an astrophysicist who made the journey from canada to texas to watch the eclipse. he did not stand with his phone in the sky. good morning. thank you for joining us. please tell me you got a window seat in the plane journey you took. i window seat in the plane “ourney you

was shivering during that moment. interesting hearing you say you are shivering. one thing that is really striking from these pictures, obviously, it went really cold. what was that like? it obviously, it went really cold. what was that like?— was that like? it was really interesting. _ was that like? it was really interesting. in _ was that like? it was really interesting. in the - was that like? it was really| interesting. in the moment was that like? it was really - interesting. in the moment we weren't really noticing all of that because of the excitement. when it was over we started to feel really hot. we realised as we were getting towards the eclipse it was getting colder. interesting this is a phenomenon in the light from the sun is blocked and we do not always thank the sun for the heat we have every day. this is the moment when we realised it was kind of cold and it got hot really fast because it is warm here in dallas. mas it got hot really fast because it is warm here in dallas.— it got hot really fast because it is warm here in dallas. was this the best day of _ warm here in dallas. was this the best day of your _ warm here in dallas. was this the best day of your life? _ warm here in dallas. was this the best day of your life? yes, - warm here in dallas. was this the best day of your life? yes, i - warm here in dallas. was this the best day of your life? yes, i thinkj best day of your life? yes, i think so. iwas best day of your life? yes, i think so- i was trying — best day of your life? yes, i think so. i was trying to _ best day of your life? yes, i think so. i was trying to figure - best day of your life? yes, i think so. i was trying to figure out - best day of your life? yes, i think so. i was trying to figure out if. best day of your life? yes, i think so. i was trying to figure out if it | so. i was trying to figure out if it was better than the aurora. this was

and have appealed for witnesses. businesses operating close to a police station that caught fire in newham last month have urged the council and police to provide more support. a huge blaze ripped through forest gate police station on romford road. local businesses say they have lost customers as result. both the met police and newham council have said they are working towards safely reopening the roads as soon as possible. a london hotel has apologised after a blind woman was told she was unable to book a room with her guide dog. journalist siobhan meade wanted to stay at the hampton by hilton hotel in old street, but its website stated service animals were not allowed — something which has been illegal since the 2010 equality act. the hotel management has apologised for the distress caused i am pleased to see that, from the action of my social media, they are changing their website. and i hope that all businesses, all companies, all organisations

are going to look at their website to make sure that they are compliant with guide and assistance dogs. now, cabmen�*s shelters used to provide much—needed rest stops for licensed cab drivers, at a time when cabs were all horse—drawn. now one in north london has been given grade ii status. the shelter on wellington place in stjohn�*s wood is one of only 13 surviving shelters in london. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kat. hello, there, good morning to you. it's an unsettled start to our tuesday morning — got strong winds out there with largely cloudy skies and spells of rain. that rain's going to be on and off through this morning. there'll be some showers to follow through the second half of the day. i think the best chance of seeing any brightness will be towards the end of the afternoon, but those strong winds will persist, so we're looking at gusts today around a0 to 50 miles per hour,

highs of around 12 celsius. so through this evening, those winds will gradually start to fall lighter, any showers will clear so it'll be dry through the night with clear skies. and under those clear skies, our temperatures will fall away to around three to five celsius. so the coldest spots could see some frost tomorrow morning. it'll be a dry and sunny start to the day, but through wednesday afternoon it will cloud over, and there's just the chance of a few spots of drizzle. breezy, but winds are not as strong, of course, as they will be today. i'll be back with another update in half an hour. now it's back tojon and sally. have a very good morning. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. the public inquiry into the wrongful convictions of hundreds of sub—postmasters will resume today — with key figures at the heart

of the horizon it scandal due to give evidence. yesterday on breakfast we heard the emotional stories of some of those affected — as they had the chance to directly question the post office minister, kevin hollinrake. let's take a look. we really want to know that these people will be brought to account and ask the questions — the relevant questions — and made accountable. well, can i first say sorry for everything — everybody in this room — and for the thousands of people around the country? and so moving stories like kevin and sharon's and decent lives wrecked through this. and no amount of money can ever put that right. given everything you've heard - to date — whether it be the inquiry, whether it be the recent news coverage, the drama, etc — l do you truly believe _ that the brand, the post office can actually continue?

i think that people have lost confidence in the post office ltd — the central organisation — but my experience is post offices in our communities, up and down the country are held in very high regard. so i do think it is recoverable. we need to compensate people, we need to hold people to account. but i think people love their post offices. what could be done for not only my father but other postmasters or postmistresses whose health is very bad? we need to simplify the process, is what we need to do. if you've had a conviction, then you can go down two routes. the full — the fixed sum award of £600,000, which you get pretty much immediately — or the full assessment route is more complicated. it does take more time. we're keen to make that as streamlined as possible. why can't the government move quickly with the will— to compensate everyone fully? why are we all having to wait so long? - well, you're right. it's not happening quickly enough. and what we're doing in terms of overturning convictions of the —

around 800 convictions that were prosecuted by the post office and the crown prosecution service — there are only 100 so far, just over 100 of have the convictions overturned. because it takes a while to do that, we decided to legislate to set aside all those convictions. so that will be done byjuly, and that opens the door for compensation much more rapidly. i proved in front of post office managers and fujitsu managers that the system was faulty, and that they did have remote access to postmaster�*s account. now my question to you, sir, is, do you think that evidence of that meeting was deliberately suppressed? i can't say it was deliberately suppressed because i wasn't there and i wasn't party to the conversations afterwards, but somebody knew something at a very early stage. yes. and it's through the court case — either the incredible case the 555 took forward — evidence came there that that information was known. and what we need to establish

title race, now arsenal and manchester city turn their attention to the champions league — as they try to move a step closer to the final at wembley injune. arsenal face bayern munich tonight in the first leg of their quarterfinal, whilst the defending champions manchester city are in spain — where they take on the 1a—time champions real madrid. joe lynskey reports. a title race on saturday, a knockout match three days later. this point in the season is where the best teams have to juggle. arsenal and city now face europe's elite. the champions league final is, this year, at wembley. the last date pits the premier league against england stars. jude bellingham's real madrid and harry kane's bayern munich. for arsenal, a twist in what's been a painful fixture. their three most recent meetings all finished 5—1 to bayern — but the last was seven years ago, and now the gunners are the favourites.

that's history. when you look at their history in the competition, it's clear, it's a huge step for us to be in this competition and, on top of that, to compete in the premier league the way we are doing. and this is the challenge, but as well we are so excited to be part of that. arsenal sit top of the premier league, while bayern in the bundesliga look set for second — for the first time in 12 years. kane's kept his side of a £100 million summer deal — 38 goals in all competitions — and that london final would be some consolation. it will make him very happy to score. i don't see how anything is holding him back. i feel him very motivated. and of course, harry... harry always helps you to win in any team — for england, tottenham and, of course, now for us. last year, city faced real in the champions league semi—finals, and won 5—1 on aggregate. but this tie, too, has changed. bellingham moved to madrid in the summer. he's la liga's joint top scorer. to be honest, at the beginning i was a bit surprised

because i didn't know much about him, to be very honest. but, wow! like, he is a big personality already in our locker room and this is massive, so he's very mature for his age and so that's why, to be honest, i'm not surprised any more. we know the type of player — he's so powerful, so... strength with ability of going in, arriving a second line and controlling the game. so, yeah, we already know, but i don't like focusing just on one player — i think they have enormous potential in all their lines. it's arsenal's first quarterfinal since 2010, while city go here for consecutive titles. should they both win, they'll face each other in the semis. in these last weeks of the season, it's all high stakes from here. joe lynskey, bbc news. look forward to both of those matches tonight. always twists and

turns in a relegation battle but this season events away from the pitch are also having a big impact. everton have been dragged closer to trouble following a second violation of the premier league's profit and sustainability rules. after beating burnley on saturday they moved four points clear of the bottom three. but that gap has been reduced to two points — after the club was given a 2 point deduction — for breaching financial rules. it's their second points deduction of the season — after losing six points in february. they say they'll appeal against the decision. the process might not be completed before the season ends. there's another big night ahead in women's football — with all four of home nations resuming their qualifying campaigns for next summer's european championship. wales are in kosovo, northern ireland in bosnia and herzegovina, scotland at home to slovakia, whilst the defending champions england are in dublin to face the republic of ireland. and the match will be particularly special for leah williamson — who's set to start her first game for england in a year after returning to action following an anterior cruciate

ligament injury last april. it's been a difficult journey, but this is the... i'd be lying if i said this wasn't the thing that i'd sort of had my focus on. this is where i wanted to get back to. i wanted to be good enough to get back into this squad. i've had some of the best memories of my life as part of this team. and we're just a couple of days out from the start of the masters golf at augusta where the best in the sport will be competing for that coveted green jacket. ahead of the first major of the year, john watson has been catching up with one of the british hopefulsjustin rose — on the pristine greens of wentworth. so talk us through — if this is the masters, justin, what would you be doing? this is going to play two yards shorter because we're going downhill a little bit. lovely. it's incrementally better, but not... the crowd go wild. justin, welcome to bbc breakfast. thank you, john. yes, nice to be here. nice to be home! i think the last time we had you on breakfast, it was just when you'd won olympic

gold at the olympics in rio in 2016. yeah. that was honestly one of probably the best moment of my career. cheering. the medal ceremony, ijust remember being almost an out—of—body experience. you know, singing the national anthem and really feeling like i'd contributed to team gb — something bigger than myself — was just such an amazing feeling. it is an olympic year, so could you reveal on breakfast now whether or not you'd be going for olympic gold again this year in paris? i'm going to be going for it. probably my primary goal for the summer is to play good enough golf to qualify for the team and then go ahead and do the business and be a part of it. talk us through where we are now. very iconic golf course, wentworth. was it an easy thing when you were moving back to the uk to think...come back here? you know, i grew up in fleet, 20 minutes away. so you're still in touch with a lot of people you grew up with? yeah, absolutely. no pressure! nothing like having a major champion watching you play golf, is it? right? hi, mate, you all right?

and i've gotten to know a lot of footballers. so who've you played around with? i mean, harry kane, england legend, you know, captain. gareth bale — great golfer, as well. is harry kane is good at golf as he is scoring goals for england? no, he's not as good because he's exceptional at that, but he's a very, very, very good golfer. hits the ball a mile — probably hits it further than i do. really? which is kind of a little bit, you know, frustrating! good shot. look at that. i'll tell you what — the camera should follow you around more often. thanks for the demo. i've got some photos that i wanted you to kind of have a look through. tell us what memories these bring back for you. yeah. fresh—faced kid. obviously, this is, you know, 18th hole, 17—year—old. this is my last—ever shot as an amateur. that jumper was. . .the rage. get in! "get in," they cry. that's a moment that people still remember you for, don't they? as a 17—year—old, that moment at the open. absolutely. and for the longest time, it looked like that was all i was going to be remembered for. that's father. father rose.

and then this moment's incredibly important and powerful and special to me. this is me winning the us open on father's day. because your dad died of cancer, didn't he, when you were 22? yes. what impact did that have on you at the time? yeah, i mean, that was a very, very tough time in my life, for sure. yeah, he was my coach until i turned pro. we spent hours upon hours upon hours together. so, yeah, he was an incredibly influential part of my life. but to win the us open — one of golf�*s biggest tournaments — on father's day... yeah. ..and you recognise your dad, having just won. yeah. there's. .. there's something in that, isn't there? it was like he was standing next to me. it was that feeling of closeness that i hadn't experienced for a number of years, since he'd passed, that was a special as winning the tournament. like, he could have been right there. it was very cool. what would he have said to you if he was? "about time, come on!" do you drive as well as you play golf, justin?

no, no. i get confused these days whether i'm on the left or the right hand side of the road, you know, spending so much time in the states. talk to us about the masters — is there any tournament in the world quite like it? i mean, no, there isn't. the masters is something special, and it's a cross between the chelsea flower show and a golf tournament. i think it's the only major championship, as well, that we play at the same venue. you know, obviously, if you win the open championship, you know, you win it, but the following year you're defending that claretjug at a different venue. i'll grab the flag. this is the moment. 0k. i basically had this putt to win the masters before — 2017 was very similar to this. and the puttjust stayed high and touch the right edge on the way past. so it's quite astonishing that i didn't win the tournament. drains it! oh, look at that. so he's made it look so easy. 0h! yeah. convincing. never a doubt. to get one of those special green jackets you're

presented with if you win it, is that the greatest achievement? for me, being a british golfer, i still think to have the claretjug sitting on my dining—room table — i still think that is the ultimate. but if i could hold the claretjug whilst wearing a green jacket — you know, while we're dreaming — that would be, for me, a career made. what a lovely interview. i don't know how many takes that was for john watson on the green. good luck tojustin rose, twice a runner—up at the augusta national, can he get a step closer this time? we shall see. what a lovely chat that was. wish him all the best. thank you. great stuff. him all the best. thank you. great stuff- carol— him all the best. thank you. great stuff. carol can _ him all the best. thank you. great stuff. carol can tell— him all the best. thank you. great stuff. carol can tell us _ him all the best. thank you. great stuff. carol can tell us if _ him all the best. thank you. great stuff. carol can tell us if it - him all the best. thank you. great stuff. carol can tell us if it is - stuff. carol can tell us if it is golfing — stuff. carol can tell us if it is golfing whether. it will be windy today. quite windy, in fact. good morning. it will be windy today. quite windy, infact. good morning. starting it will be windy today. quite windy, in fact. good morning. starting with some rain, strongest winds currently across the south—west and quarter of

the country. the wind will pick up everywhere but the rain will clear off towards the east and then brighten up but the rain has been pretty heavy this morning across parts of north—west wales, cumbria, and south—west scotland. it is also across central and eastern parts of scotland, starting to clear from the west, same for northern ireland, pushing through leaving brighter skies. very much present across england and wales and there is a fair bit of cloud around, as well. you'll start to notice through the next couple of hours it brightening across pembrokeshire, cornwall and devon. through the day the rain continues to edge towards the east. it will take its time to clear. windy wherever you are, the black circles representing the strength of the gusts and we are looking at gales around the coasts and the hills in the west and also the south. cooler day than yesterday, temperatures were seven to 12 degrees. it will feel cool, especially in the wind and the rain. eventually that rain clears off into

the north sea. we have a transient ridge of high pressure building across us which will calm things down. the wind will drop, a cold night with a touch of frost across parts of scotland and northern england, and by the end of the night the next weather front arrives and that will push steadily eastwards as we go through the course of the day. it will be a breezy day, but one thing you will notice is the temperatures will pick up. we will go back towards 15. by the time we get to the end of this week, parts of east anglia... sorry, i have a cold. parts of east anglia could get up cold. parts of east anglia could get up to 21 degrees. {30 and geta and get a cup of tea immediately, thatis and get a cup of tea immediately, that is in order. if and get a cup of tea immediately, that is in order.— that is in order. if you put your voice and _ that is in order. if you put your voice and my _ that is in order. if you put your voice and my voice _ that is in order. if you put your voice and my voice together i that is in order. if you put yourl voice and my voice together get that is in order. if you put your - voice and my voice together get one voice _ voice. laughter a bit like barry white. laughter abitlike bar white. . a bit like barry white. just don't let her sing! _ let her sing! laughter what would the accent be? thank you.

but here's the issue. parking spaces have stayed the same size for decades now. 2.am wide, leaving just 30cm either side to get in and out of your car once you've parked up. that is the length of a cornflake box, or a couple of hot dogs. almost a third of us have opted for a bigger car in the last five years. more space for comfort, snazzier designs, but also new tech and electric batteries driving up the average size. car sizes are growing — car spaces are not. maybe we can all do our bit. consumers can make a more conscious decision when they're thinking about where to park. so, you know, i know personally, for me, i have a young daughter, so i need to think about where i can park so that i can get her out. so sometimes i'll look to park on the end of the line, or maybe a little bit further away from the place i'm going to, just to kind of avoid these instances happening. but, ultimately, ithink, you know, if it's a busy location and there are, you know, limited spaces that people

can park in, i think that consumers can start thinking about, you know, "here can i park?" "can i move a little bit over?" "can i make sure i park if i have a smaller car or a bigger car next to a smaller car or a bigger car?" just so that it kind of creates that little bit more space for people to get in and out of. as you will know, not everyone is public spirited when it comes to parking! new standards were introduced injune, suggesting spaces are made longer and wider. it might only be new car parks being asked to consider those, and at least one has already taken note. one car park in lincolnshire is voluntarily blazing a trail. this is bbc breakfast�*s version of baywatch. have a watch, and you might find yourself considering relocating to lincoln. some usual car parking spaces give you just a few inches either side of your car, and that can result in knocks and scrapes. well, in lincoln's broadgate car park,

all your parking dreams — if you have them — may just have come true. because just look at these for whoppers! ample room for this little fiat when your space measures almost 3.5m wide — a full metre, or 3ft, wider than your average car parking space. but to give you an even better idea for scale, we took our very large bbc transit van to park in one of these enormous spaces. this van is a big beast, but it wasn't even a snug fit. you can also see where the lines used to be. so, as you can see, we still have all of this room on this side, and about the same again on this. and we can even open our massive door as wide as we like without any fear of scratches or scrapes. and we've even measured these distances for you. approximately 81cm on the driver's side and 85cm on the passenger side. i was really surprised last night when i was parking.

because i was adamant that obviously it must be the wrong lines. but, no, it's legit. it would be nice if everywhere was like this, if i'm honest. to get the children out of the car, it's ideal. look at all this! it's amazing. i can't believe how big they've done it. it's quite good because you're less likely to get your car damaged. we've often gone to car parks and then you find little dings down the side of your car, where somebody has opened the door onto it. so the wider, the better, really. it does, however, mean 79 fewer spaces at this car park. but, after positive feedback, the city of lincoln council says they will review what's possible at other older car parks. the only other drawback is this car park was pretty full. simon spark, bbc news. magnificent having all that space! until those bigger spaces become standard, it could be a bit of a tight squeeze in some car parks. it is stressful and expensive. a

third of drivers damaged their car in a cuppa last year. almost every single car that comes into the shop has had, like, a minor car park dent, or someone's opened the door, a minor car park ding, or someone's opened the door, you know, caught the panel, took the paint off, and it needs a repair. the most common that we end up seeing is the bollard damage, because it's quite severe, and obviously sometimes smaller car park dents where people open the door on the car — people just leave it and just, like, think, "oh," you know, "i'll pass it on or leave it to a later date when it needs fixing." whereas with the bollard damage, it sort of needs, you know, instant repair before it starts to rust or galvanise on the aluminium panels. before you think about the new car, have thought about the size. that galvanising damage on the aluminium panels! if you've got experiences of struggling to park in a regular space then we'd love to hear from you. perhaps you have had to crawl out of

the passenger side or leave the kids on the pavement before parking. maybe you have a photo of some costly repairs caused by tight spots. please get in touch in all of the usual ways. we used to live in a flat when i first had my son and we parked between two pillars, there are skies to prove it, but i have crawl out of the boot, grab a baby, put him in the boot, grab a baby, put him in the boot... it is funny but also really stressful. the boot. .. it is funny but also really stressful.— the boot... it is funny but also really stressful. it really stressful. very stressful. it is everyday. _ really stressful. very stressful. it is everyday, cumulative - really stressful. very stressful. it is everyday, cumulative stress. l really stressful. very stressful. it| is everyday, cumulative stress. is big spaces will cost more, right? i am seriously thinking about moving to lincoln. so appealing. it is fabulous- _ to lincoln. so appealing. it is fabulous. despite _ to lincoln. so appealing. it is fabulous. despite the - to lincoln. so appealing. it is i fabulous. despite the commute. to lincoln. so appealing. it is - fabulous. despite the commute. watch out, fabulous. despite the commute. watch out. lincoln! — fabulous. despite the commute. watch out, lincoln! lets— fabulous. despite the commute. watch out, lincoln! lets us— fabulous. despite the commute. watch out, lincoln! lets us know _ fabulous. despite the commute. watch out, lincoln! lets us know what i fabulous. despite the commute. watch out, lincoln! lets us know what you i out, lincoln! lets us know what you think about — out, lincoln! lets us know what you think about that. _ out, lincoln! lets us know what you think about that. it _ out, lincoln! lets us know what you think about that. it is _ out, lincoln! lets us know what you think about that. it is something i out, lincoln! lets us know what you think about that. it is something a l think about that. it is something a lot of people were writing about. they already are, i can see the e—mails. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye. further rail delays and cancellations are expected today, following the aslef union strikes yesterday. an overtime ban, meaning drivers are refusing to work on rest days is affecting services. passengers are being advised to only travel if absolutely necessary and to check before setting off. police say they are very concerned for the welfare of a 15—year—old girl, who has been missing for three weeks. tia williams was last seen leaving herfamily home in camden on the 18th of march. she is around 5 ft 2 and has links to london, hertfordshire and bedfordshire. the area around a police station that burnt down in newham remains closed a month on — with local busineses saying it's affecting trade. much of forest gate police station on romford road was destroyed in the blaze

on the 6th of march. newham council and the police say the closure is due to the risk of falling debris but they're working to reopen the road. a london hotel has apologised after a blind woman was told she was unable to book a room with her guide dog. journalist siobhan meade wanted to stay at the hampton by hilton hotel in old street, but it's website stated service animals were not allowed, something which has been illegal since the 2010 equality act. i am pleased to see that, from the action of my social media, they are changing their website. and i hope that all businesses, all companies, all organisations are going to look at their website to make sure that they are compliant with guide and assistance dogs. let's take a look at the tubes now. now on to the weather with kat. hello, there, good morning to you. it's an unsettled start to our tuesday morning —

got strong winds out there with largely cloudy skies and spells of rain. that rain's going to be on and off through this morning. there'll be some showers to follow through the second half of the day. i think the best chance of seeing any brightness will be towards the end of the afternoon, but those strong winds will persist, so we're looking at gusts today around a0 to 50 miles per hour, highs of around 12 celsius. so through this evening, those winds will gradually start to fall lighter, any showers will clear so it'll be dry through the night with clear skies. and under those clear skies, our temperatures will fall away to around 3 to 5 celsius. so the coldest spots could see some frost tomorrow morning. it'll be a dry and sunny start to the day, but through wednesday afternoon it will cloud over, and there's just the chance of a few spots of drizzle. breezy, but winds are not as strong, of course, as they will be today. now, cabmen's shelters used to provide much—needed rest stops for licenced cab drivers, at a time when cabs were all horse—drawn. now, one in north london has been given grade 2 listed status. the shelter on wellington place

on saturday afternoon. the child was not harmed. our reporter alison freeman is in bradford this morning. alison, what's the latest? good morning. over the past 2a hours, there has been a whole raft of new information about what happened on the street behind me during that attack here in bradford. police said yesterday the victim, kalsuma akter, and the attacker, habibur masum, both from oldham were known to each other but would not elaborate on what that relationship was. it is now understood the suspect was on bail for allegedly assaulting and threatening to kill the victim, charges that he denied when he appeared in court. both west yorkshire and greater manchester police have referred themselves to the police watchdog because they had had prior contact with the victim.

for now, the manhunt continues. habibur masum, wanted by police. this cctv of the 25—year—old was taken on saturday, after he's suspected of carrying out an horrific attack on a woman he knew. she has now been named as kalsuma akter. she was attacked and stabbed multiple times. emergency services were called at 3:21pm. however, despite the best efforts of members of the public, ambulance crews and hospital staff, kulsuma sadly lost her life due to the injuries. her baby is safe and well and was not harmed in this incident. the 27—year—old mother was pushing her baby in a pram on a normally busy road in the centre of bradford. the shocking incident has deeply affected those who tried to help kulsuma in the moments after the attack. i heard screaming and i came out, run towards to where the scene happened. and then, what i did, i tried to check her pulse and everything

but there was no pulse. and then, within a few minutes, doctorarrived. police say habibur masum, seen here on his own youtube feed, knew kulsuma akter but won't elaborate on the exact relationship. they're both from oldham and he has links to burnley and chester, where police raids have since taken place. the attack happened at about 3:20pm on westgate in bradford. ten minutes later, habibur masum gets on a bus in the city centre. shortly afterwards, he gets off near bradford moor park and hasn't been seen since. west yorkshire police has also referred itself to the independent office for police conduct over contact it had with the victim before she died, although it won't give any details about exactly what that contact was. cctv cameras overlook the crime scene. what they recorded will be vital in the investigation. police say a knife was recovered here. anyone who sees habibur masum

is being warned not to approach him and immediately call 999. danny savage, bbc news, bradford. we heard how the suspect was seen fleeing by bus and the last sighting of him was at a nearby park. police say he may have escaped from that in a taxi and we want to hear from anyone who may have picked him up to come forward. police are warning people if they do see him not to approach him and call the emergency services instead.— services instead. thank you very much indeed. _ services instead. thank you very much indeed. we _ services instead. thank you very much indeed. we will _ services instead. thank you very much indeed. we will come i services instead. thank you very | much indeed. we will come back services instead. thank you very i much indeed. we will come back to alison in bradford if there are any developments on the story as the programme goes on. now for the rest of the day's news with sally. the public inquiry into the post office it scandal resumes today,

with prominent campaigner alan bates due to give evidence later. this stage will see senior figures from the post office, royal mail and fujitsu also face questions — including former post office chief executive, paula vennells. here's our business reporter, peter ruddick. the man who took on the post office. his story might now be known around the world, but today alan bates will once again be explaining how he was affected by a scandal dubbed the most widespread miscarriage ofjustice in british legal history. his testimony kicks off the latest phase of an inquiry that's been hearing evidence for more than two years but that will now turn to the crucial question of who knew what and when. former royal mail group boss adam crozier is one of a handful of seniorfigures due to appear this week. they're followed later this month by angela van den bogerd, whose role in the post office prosecution of innocent subpostmasters has been heavily criticised. ex—chief executive paula vennells, who was stripped of her cbe earlier this year, will give three days of evidence in may. she will be asked about a draft

report uncovered by the bbc, which shows the post office carried on using public money to fund court action, despite knowing its defence was untrue. in fenny compton, where the fightback began, victims told breakfast and the post office minister their battle was still farfrom won. the life is slipping away. i've spent now 37 years in the post office, so it feels like the life has been wasted. it feels like being stabbed in the back for serving the very people, for the very nation on behalf of the government. everybody's going to get through it. and the fact that when i was in hospital, the post office sent their own personal doctors to see if i was actually ill, that's what really hurt the most. the journey for all of us has been so painful that we feel—

it every day, you know? and we still have to give each other support because it's not over. i it's still ongoing i and it's still tough. you know, it's hard i to get up every morning and keep battling along. from the minister, an apology. well, can i first say sorry — for everything — everybody in this room and for the thousands of people around the country? decent lives wrecked through this. and a clear statement of how he wants the scandal to end. people should be prosecuted. that's my view. and i think you and other people i've spoken to, i certainly feel. people within the post office and possibly further afield should go to jail. post office ltd is stealing my livelihood... january's tv drama means the long—running inquiry may now also become a ratings winner. it's expected to conclude this summer and make recommendations for further action next year. peter ruddick, bbc news.

our business correspondent theo leggettjoins us now. this is a story we have been covering for a long time. today is hugely important, isn't it? absolutely right. although this inquiry has been going on since 2021, only now we're hearing from the key figures in the scandal. first of all that is mr bates himself, alan bates. he may have been played by toby and the drama but he has been a tireless campaigner forjustice on behalf of sub—postmasters, hundreds of whom were prosecuted and facing ruin on charges of fraud and false accounting. he has spearheaded a legal campaign resulting in a court ruling in 2019 that the horizon accounting software was faulty, it

had bugs, errors and defects in it. since then he has been campaigning for those who were prosecuted to be exonerated. the legal process is ongoing. also for the compensation process to be speeded up because it has been extremely slow. he will take to the stand today. later on we will hear from a swathe of former executives within the post office itself. laterthis executives within the post office itself. later this week, executives within the post office itself. laterthis week, on executives within the post office itself. later this week, on friday, we will be hearing from the chief executive of the post office in the early stages. he has not been in the spotlight, he has had a clear path. later, paula vennells, the controversialfigure. she presided over the post office at the crucial time, whether people within the company knew there was something wrong with horizon. three days of

this may be uncomfortable. hamas — designated a terror organisation by the uk — has said there is nothing new in israel's latest proposals for a ceasefire deal in gaza, and no progress has been made in the negotiations in egypt. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega joins us now from jerusalem. hugo, what can you tell us about these latest developments? morning. yesterday, the qataris who have been mediating these negotiations and also the israeli foreign minister said there was a cautious optimism that a deal was possible. now, hamas is saying there is nothing new in this proposal. the other on the table doesn't meet their demands. essentially, they had three main demands. they want a permanent ceasefire, in other words the end of the war and they want all israeli troops out of gaza and they also want residents to be allowed to return to northern parts of gaza. in the past, israelis have rejected

those demands as unacceptable and say it would only give hamas the opportunity to regroup. there is a lot of pressure for a deal to be reached, especially from the americans. the head of the cia is in cairo for those talks. a lot of pressure here at home as well on prime minister benjamin netanyahu to negotiate a deal, especially from the families of the hostages who remain in captivity in gaza. they say time is running out to save those hostages. the prime minister is also under pressure from some of his hardline allies, against the idea of making concessions. they say they need to finish the job and destroy hamas. it really shows how difficult these negotiations are. we still don't know whether major obstacles have been resolved. thank ou ve obstacles have been resolved. thank you very much _ obstacles have been resolved. thank you very much indeed. _ the conservative mp, william wragg, has stepped down from his position as vice—chair of the party's backbench 1922 committee. he's apologised after admitting he shared the phone numbers

of colleagues with someone he met on a dating app. mr wragg is leaving parliament at the general election and has so far faced no disciplinary action by the conservative party. simon harris is expected to be formally appointed as the new irish prime minister today. aged 37, he'll be the youngest person to hold the post. he replaces leo varadkar, who announced last month that he was stepping down for personal and political reasons. mr harris has already been nicknamed the "tiktok taoiseach" because of his social media skills. around 100 people have been evacuated from a holiday park in west sussex after severe flooding caused by high tides and winds. the fire service and the coastguard have been rescuing residents overnight. elsewhere in the region, heavy rain has caused the river arun has burst its banks — with residents being advised to move to the upper floors of their homes.

it is coming up to past seven. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. more rain on the cards. not good news for areas already with flooding issues. the grant is so saturated. a windy day. the windiest conditions are in the south—west. it will brighten up later. wet and windy about sums it up. gales with exposure on the irish sea, wales, the south—west and the english channel. as the rain pulls away it will brighten up behind. it will still be a windy day, even inland. we are looking to mix of spells, sunshine and showers. you can see the cloud and rain in the north and east of england. sunshine and showers for northern ireland,

sunshine and showers for much of scotland before the rain pulls away. temperatures ranging from eight to 12 degrees. this evening and overnight rain clears away. a transient ridge of high pressure blows and settle things down. it will be cold enough in parts of scotland and northern england for a touch of frost. at the same time in the west, the next weather front is arriving, introducing rain. after a sunny start, in many areas bus think obama is cloud and rain advancing in from the west. it will be a breezy day as well. see you again in half an hour. labour is pledging to fund its policies on the nhs and school breakfast clubs, by cracking down on tax avoiders. the shadow chancellor will announce the plans later today, which she says will help to raise

nation's priorities by cracking down on tax avoidance and making sure the tax code is properly complied with. you are suggesting you would put in more bodies to make the system more efficient. that will not happen quickly, well it? it could take years. quickly, well it? it could take ears. , ., , , , years. they can ramp it up quickly. they need — years. they can ramp it up quickly. they need to _ years. they can ramp it up quickly. they need to train _ years. they can ramp it up quickly. they need to train people - years. they can ramp it up quickly. they need to train people up i years. they can ramp it up quickly. | they need to train people up within the government to do this work. it is not rocket science. previous governments have managed to close the tax gap. the last labour government did it. actually, the conservative led coalition government did it. the government has taken its eye off the ball on this. as a result, last year alone, that tax gap increased by £5 billion. £5 billion that could have gonein billion. £5 billion that could have gone in to front line public services but did not. making sure everyone pays their fair share of tax. �* . . ,

to 50% discount, why should some of the wealthiest in the country get that discount? we would abolish that and put into front line services, where it belongs. you and put into front line services, where it belongs.— where it belongs. you say your non-dom _ where it belongs. you say your non-dom tax _ where it belongs. you say your non-dom tax tightening i where it belongs. you say your non-dom tax tightening would | where it belongs. you say your. non-dom tax tightening would get non—dom tax tightening would get more money for public services than the conservatives would. isn't it a fact that by adopting your policy on non—doms, they full stew to go scrubbing down the back of the sofa looking for extra cash, like you have today with tax avoidance? —— bay. due to go scrabbling down. iudith bay. due to go scrabbling down. with the labour bay. due to go scrabbling down. tn the labour government, all of our policies will be fully costed and fully funded. that is what people can expect from me as shadow chancellor and if i become chancellor and if i become chancellor of the exchequer. the government did take some of our policies in the budget earlier this year. they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. that is fine by me. in an orderly fashion i

had to go through all of the government documents and make sure ourflagship policies government documents and make sure our flagship policies around government documents and make sure ourflagship policies around cutting nhs waiting list, breakfast clubs at primary schools, emergency dental appointments, those policies are still costed and funded. i am announcing how we do that today with announcing how we do that today with a crackdown on tax avoidance and strengthening rules, ensuring non—doms is pay theirfair share of tax. it non-doms is pay their fair share of tax. . . non-doms is pay their fair share of tax. , , ., ,, ., ., ., tax. it must be awkward coming on to talk about tax — tax. it must be awkward coming on to talk about tax avoidance _ tax. it must be awkward coming on to talk about tax avoidance when - tax. it must be awkward coming on to talk about tax avoidance when at i tax. it must be awkward coming on to talk about tax avoidance when at the l talk about tax avoidance when at the same time angela rayner is still facing questions about whether she paid the right amount of tanks over the sale of her council home back in 2015. we should say she says she has done absolutely nothing wrong. the police are still looking at this and their decision—making in the past. that is a distraction, isn't it? it could continue to be a distraction when you talk about tax.- could continue to be a distraction when you talk about tax. angela has answered questions _ when you talk about tax. angela has answered questions about _ when you talk about tax. angela has answered questions about this i when you talk about tax. angela has answered questions about this in i

low rainfall has slashed crop yields, driving up food prices and putting an estimated 2.7 million people at risk of hunger. it is just one example of a pattern of heat and drought affecting countries as far afield as southern europe and southeast asia. this graph shows how march continued the world's run of record—breaking monthly temperatures. this extreme heat has got many climate scientists worried. the reality is that we can quantify a large proportion of the extra heat that's causing these records, but not all of it. so there needs to be a lot more science, and there will be much more science coming out over the next weeks and months to try and understand what's happening to our climate system, and are we in a new phase? scientists agree what is causing climate change — it is the vast quantities of planet—warming gases humanity has been pumping into the atmosphere. and in recent months,

a recurring weather event known as el nino has been adding an extra blast of heat into the air. that is weakening now, so temperatures should begin to fall back later in the year. the problem is, sea temperatures remain extremely high, hitting many of the world's coral reefs hard. that suggests global temperatures might not fall back as expected — a sign, fear some scientists, that the world could be entering a new phase of more rapid climate change. justin rowlatt, bbc news. millions of people across north america have experienced a once—in—a—lifetime event — as a total solar eclipse turned day into night. it started off in mexico, with crowds filling beaches in the resort of mazatlan, on the country's pacific coast. from there, the eclipse moved

north—east over a large parts of the united states. niagara falls was one of the places in its path — and people who witnessed it there, said the moment was indescribable. it was so nice to be connected with so many different people, you know, just humanity. watching this kind of amazing natural phenomenon happening, i found it really moving. it's really one of those things where you hear everyone like, gasp and yell and it'sjust it's amazing. we really wanted to see the total darkness. i that was crazy. not everyone was treated to a total eclipse — but even further afield in new york city, people were able to see the sun partly obscured by the moon. looks pretty grey. there had been hopes it would be visible on this side

of the atlantic too — but poor weather meant crowds on the west coast of ireland didn't manage to get a glimpse, not that they minded too much. no, i'm not disappointed at all. i see like everybody has smiles on their faces. the community is out here. they have their dogs, they've got their families. so it's a fantastic occasion. i'm absolutely delighted. and we live in one of the most beautiful places in the world. we're well used to the bad weather here in the west of ireland. is there any such thing as bad weather? no such thing as bad weather — only the wrong clothes. eclipses happen fairly regularly — but their paths vary — and if you're waiting for the next total eclipse here in the uk, you'll be waiting a long time. the next one isn't until 2090. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. further rail delays and cancellations are expected today, following the aslef

union strikes yesterday. an overtime ban — meaning drivers are refusing to work on rest days — is affecting services. passengers are being advised to only travel if absolutely necessary, and to check before setting off. detectives have named a man who was murdered near to tottenham hotspur stadium on sunday. a6—year—old okechukwu iweha was found with stab wounds in the northumberland park area. detectives have not made any arrests and have appealed for witnesses. the area around a police station that caught fire in newham remains closed a month on — with local busineses saying it's affecting trade. much of forest gate police station on romford road was destroyed in the blaze on the 6th of march. newham council and the police say the closure is due to the risk of falling debris — but they're working to reopen the road. a london hotel has apologised after a blind woman was told she was unable to book a room with her guide dog. journalist siobhan meade wanted to stay at the hampton by hilton hotel in old street,

but its website stated service animals were not allowed — something which has been illegal since the 2010 equality act. i am pleased to see that, from the action of my social media, they are changing their website. and i hope that all businesses, all companies, all organisations are going to look at their website to make sure that they are compliant with guide and assistance dogs. let's take a look at the tubes now. now onto the weather with kat. hello, there, good morning to you. it's an unsettled start to our tuesday morning — got strong winds out there with largely cloudy skies and spells of rain. that rain's going to be on and off through this morning. there'll be some showers to follow through the second half of the day. i think the best chance of seeing any brightness will be towards the end of the afternoon, but those strong winds will persist, so we're looking at gusts today around a0 to 50 miles per hour,

highs of around 12 celsius. so through this evening, those winds will gradually start to fall lighter, any showers will clear so it'll be dry through the night with clear skies. and under those clear skies, our temperatures will fall away to around three to five celsius. so the coldest spots could see some frost tomorrow morning. it'll be a dry and sunny start to the day, but through wednesday afternoon it will cloud over, and there's just the chance of a few spots of drizzle. breezy, but winds are not as strong, of course, as they will be today. now, cabmen's shelters used to provide much—needed rest stops for licenced cab drivers, at a time when cabs were all horse—drawn. now one in north london has been given grade ii listed status. the shelter on wellington place in stjohn's wood is one of only 13 surviving shelters in london. they now all have listed status. you can read more about that story on our webiste.

i'll be back with another update in half an hour. have a very good morning. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and jon kay. domestic abuse survivors have helped develop a new initiative, designed to strengthen the process of obtaining a gun license in parts designed to strengthen the process of obtaining a gun licence in parts of england and wales. for the first time, the partners of people applying to own a gun will be asked questions, in order to build a more detailed picture of the applicant — and it's already resulted in several licences being refused or revoked. our reporter kathryn stanczyszyn has more. trish, can you just show me the cabinet for me, please? yeah, sure, sure. when a person applies to own a gun, police carry out checks — including where it will be stored, and what it will be used for. just chuck that open. so obviously we can see the bolts in here.

we're just going to measure it off. trish is reapplying. gone for this over the 12 bore. it's good for hand—eye coordination, you know, and also for fitness because you've got... you know, it's quite a heavy thing and i wasjust really interested in it. in gwent, police have come up with another safeguard, though, for those who want to become licensed gun—holders. a questionnaire for the people closest to the applicant — their partner. it's a domestic abuse assessment. so obviously it's going to be based on talking to yourself and your partner. trish is a gun applicant herself, but so is her boyfriend — so she's answering these extra questions, too. are you aware if your partner is on prescription medication or non—prescription medication? not that i'm aware of. has your partner ever threatened to use — or has used — a weapon on you? no. it's a very good idea. and i think all police forces should do it — you know, the checks need to be done to make shooting safe. rhianon knows too well what can

happen when a licence ends up in the wrong hands. the relationship lasted over five years. it became increasingly abusive. and it's when i finally managed to end the relationship — that's when the stalking really ramped up. and four months after that, i was held at gunpoint by the perpetrator overnight, and it was the most horrific eight hours. but that was the culmination of years of abuse and his very controlling behaviour. do you think there's any other questions we need to look- at or adapt or change? some of this will be... she has helped gwent police develop these additional questions — known as project titanium. and there's a lot that still needs to change, that i think working on titanium will actually help show other parts... if titanium was in existence at the time and i'd been asked the questions, even though i didn't know i was in an abusive relationship, the way that the questions have been formulated, it would...

it may have started the thought process with me thinking, "well, hang on a second, i'm experiencing this." but it would absolutely have rung alarm bells for any officer that i was speaking to. it's currently being trialled in a number of forces — including the metropolitan police. it's been used on 5,000 applicants so far. we've had seven cases during this trial with the three forces where we've either revoked or refused a licence. that is seven cases that potentially could have gone on to domestic abuse homicide. we've had one case where the partner was contacted — she stated that she couldn't speak to the firearm inquiry officer at her home because she was being controlled and coerced so, so much. that licence was then refused, and also, as well, we was able to put safeguarding in place for that person. for campaigners like rhianon, when the stakes are this high, those questions are crucial.

and if you canjust prevent one — because it's never just that one life — if you can imagine a stone being thrown into water, it's the ripples from that. so to be able to prevent anyone else suffering anything like that, it's pretty momentous. kathryn stanczyszyn, bbc news. we'rejoined now by rhianon bragg who we saw there — alongside sarah kirkpatrick from welsh women's aid. morning, both. crow too, you have told your story on this programme before butjust told your story on this programme before but just tell told your story on this programme before butjust tell people what it is like. i know it is difficult, but tell us what happened and how you ended up in this place.— ended up in this place. essentially, i was the unwitting _ ended up in this place. essentially, i was the unwitting target - ended up in this place. essentially, i was the unwitting target of i ended up in this place. essentially, i was the unwitting target of a i i was the unwitting target of a coercive — i was the unwitting target of a coercive controller. after five years — coercive controller. after five years of _ coercive controller. after five years of what was an abusive relationship, and i wasn't aware it was an—

are the favourites. that's history. when you look at their history in the competition, it's clear, it's a huge step for us to be in this competition and, on top of that, to compete in the premier league the way we are doing. and this is the challenge, but as well we are so excited to be part of that. arsenal sit top of the premier league, while bayern in the bundesliga look set for second — for the first time in 12 years. kane's kept his side of a £100 million summer deal — 38 goals in all competitions — and that london final would be some consolation. it will make him very happy to score. i don't see how anything is holding him back. i feel him very motivated. and of course, harry... harry always helps you to win in any team — for england, tottenham and, of course, now for us. last year, city faced real in the champions league semi—finals, and won 5—1 on aggregate.

but this tie, too, has changed. bellingham moved to madrid in the summer. he's la liga's joint top scorer. to be honest, at the beginning i was a bit surprised because i didn't know much about him, to be very honest. but, wow! like, he is a big personality already in our locker room and this is massive, so he's very mature for his age and so that's why, to be honest, i'm not surprised any more. we know the type of player — he's so powerful, so... strength with ability of going in, arriving at second line and controlling the game. so, yeah, we already know, but i don't like focusing just on one player — i think they have enormous potential in all their lines. it's arsenal's first quarterfinal since 2010, while city go here for consecutive titles. should they both win, they'll face each other in the semis. in these last weeks of the season, it's all high stakes from here. joe lynskey, bbc news.

we look forward to those first likes tonight. —— and justin rose has told us he'll be doing all that he can to defend his olympic golf title in paris this summer. the event at the games gets underway on the 1st of august. before that — rose is set to play all four of the men's majors — and says he can't wait for the masters, which gets underway on thursday at augusta national. i think it is one of those events that does transcend golf a little bit. it's a type of venue, i think, that people even who don't follow golf or don't enjoy golf or whatever, like to even watch it because of its... it's just magnificent. it's a cross between the chelsea flower show and a golf tournament, to be honest with you. so i think that it appeals to a lot of people on different levels. but the prestige of it — obviously, it's a major championship — what it represents in our sport is massive. that was john watson speaking tojustin rose. at wentworth, a lovely sit down interview and there is much more.

the west to sunshine, bright spells and showers. they will feel cooler than yesterday, temperatures eight to 12 or 13 in the south. as we head through the evening and overnight, eventually the rain moves away. a transient ridge of high pressure built across us, something start to settle down. there will also be clear skies, and also a touch of frost in parts of scotland and northern england and then out towards the west you can already see the next weather front coming in, bringing its cloud and rain with it. a chilly night for many, temperatures that bit higher out towards the south and west. as we go through wednesday, you can see how we hang on the cooler airfor a time but as this one front comes in it will pull in some warmer air behind it. we start on that nippy notebooks with a lot sunshine, the cloud building for the rest through the day and then in, is all this rain. also a breezy day, as well, the wind really picking up. the heaviest rain across the north and west of

scotland and quite a bit of cloud around tomorrow, as well. temperatures up on today. top temperature today 12 or 13. tomorrow, iii temperature today 12 or 13. tomorrow, 1a or 15 degrees. but you can see how the temperatures climbing across the board. as we head into thursday, a clutch of fronts move away but we have a trailing front draped across southern parts of england, meaning, for the south, it will be fairly cloudy to start. the cloud thick enough for some drizzle. a cloudy start across of the country, but that's cloud will break and we will start to see some sunshine coming our way. start to see some sunshine coming ourway. murky, especially around the coasts and also the hills through thursday. temperatures up, looking up 19 at best, possibly 20, but fell to 17, aberdeen i7, lerwick 11 degrees. into the outlook period, a good chance on friday that we could see 21 degrees. very slowly those temperatures start to slide once again.

those temperatures start to slide once again-— once again. thank you. thanks, carol. after the famous sycamore gap tree was felled in september last year, there was both an outpouring of emotion and a public promise to ensure its legacy lived on. one local artist pledged to plant one tree for every print of the famous landmark she sold — and she's now planted enough to create a woodland. let's take a look at her story. so i'm just here at the site of the tree that was felled at sycamore gap last september. and it's the first time i've visited it since... since it was felled. from one painting, i've now got all these trees to plant.

relationship was. it is understood the suspect was in fact on bail for allegedly assaulting and threatening to kill the victim. charges he denied when he appeared in court. we know both greater manchester and west yorkshire police have referred themselves to the police watchdog because a prior contact with the victim. for now, the manhunt continues, as danny savage reports. habibur masum, wanted by police. this cctv of the 25—year—old was taken on saturday, after he's suspected of carrying out an horrific attack on a woman he knew. she has now been named as kalsuma akter. she was attacked and stabbed multiple times. emergency services were called at 3:21pm. however, despite the best efforts of members of the public, ambulance crews and hospital staff, kulsuma sadly lost her life due to the injuries. her baby is safe and well and was not harmed in this incident.

the 27—year—old mother was pushing her baby in a pram on a normally busy road in the centre of bradford. the shocking incident has deeply affected those who tried to help kulsuma in the moments after the attack. i heard screaming and i came out, run towards to where the scene happened. and then, what i did, i tried to check her pulse and everything but there was no pulse. and then, within a few minutes, doctorarrived. police say habibur masum, seen here on his own youtube feed, knew kulsuma akter but won't elaborate on the exact relationship. they're both from oldham and he has links to burnley and chester, where police raids have since taken place. the attack happened at about 3:20pm on westgate in bradford. ten minutes later, habibur masum gets on a bus in the city centre. shortly afterwards, he gets off near bradford moor park and hasn't been seen since.

west yorkshire police has also referred itself to the independent office for police conduct over contact it had with the victim before she died, although it won't give any details about exactly what that contact was. cctv cameras overlook the crime scene. what they recorded will be vital in the investigation. police say a knife was recovered here. anyone who sees habibur masum is being warned not to approach him and immediately call 999. danny savage, bbc news, bradford. well, we heard that the suspect left the scene by bus about ten minutes after the attack and then got off the bus at a nearby park ten minutes after that. that was the last sighting of him. police are working on the assumption he may get into a taxi to play even further and are

appealing for any drivers he may have picked him up to come forward. police say if you do see habibur masum, do not approach him, ring the police instead. masum, do not approach him, ring the police instead-— police instead. thank you very much indeed. sally has the rest of the morning's news. the public inquiry into the post office it scandal resumes today, with prominent campaigner alan bates due to give evidence later. this stage will see senior figures from the post office, royal mail and fujitsu also face questions — including former post office chief executive, paula vennells. here's our business reporter, peter ruddick. the man who took on the post office. his story might now be known around the world, but today alan bates will once again be explaining how he was affected by a scandal dubbed the most widespread miscarriage ofjustice in british legal history. his testimony kicks off the latest phase of an inquiry that's been hearing evidence for more than two years

but that will now turn to the crucial question of who knew what and when. former royal mail group boss adam crozier is one of a handful of seniorfigures due to appear this week. they're followed later this month by angela van den bogerd, whose role in the post office prosecution of innocent subpostmasters has been heavily criticised. ex—chief executive paula vennells, who was stripped of her cbe earlier this year, will give three days of evidence in may. she will be asked about a draft report uncovered by the bbc, which shows the post office carried on using public money to fund court action, despite knowing its defence was untrue. in fenny compton, where the fightback began, victims told breakfast and the post office minister their battle was still farfrom won. the life is slipping away. i've spent now 37 years in the post office, so it feels like the life has been wasted.

it feels like being stabbed in the back for serving the very people, for the very nation on behalf of the government. everybody's going to get through it. and the fact that when i was in hospital, the post office sent their own personal doctors to see if i was actually ill, that's what really hurt the most. the journey for all of us has been so painful that we feel— it every day, you know? and we still have to give each other support because it's not over. - it's still ongoing i and it's still tough. you know, it's hard - to get up every morning and keep battling along. from the minister, an apology. well, can i first say sorry — for everything — everybody in this room and for the thousands of people around the country? decent lives wrecked through this. and a clear statement of how he wants the scandal to end. people should be prosecuted. that's my view.

and i think you and other people i've spoken to, i certainly feel. people within the post office and possibly further afield should go to jail. post office ltd is stealing my livelihood... january�*s tv drama means the long—running inquiry may now also become a ratings winner. it's expected to conclude this summer and make recommendations for further action next year. peter ruddick, bbc news. the conservative mp william wragg, has stepped down from his position as vice—chair of the party's backbench1922 committee. he's apologised after admitting he shared the phone numbers of colleagues with someone he met on a dating app. mr wragg is leaving parliament at the general election and has so far faced no disciplinary action by the conservative party. simon harris is expected to be formally appointed as the new irish prime minister today. aged 37, he'll be the youngest person to hold the post. our ireland correspondent,

today, we're explaining why estimated bills can snowball customers into debt, and we'll walk you through an online tool that takes just seconds to check if yours is faulty. plus, nine in ten drivers say they find headlights too bright at night. now the government's launching an independent review into the glare after thousands signed a petition. but are they really getting brighter? rav wilding investigates why so many of us are being blindsided. also today, one in seven people have tinnitus — including choirmaster gareth malone. he's meeting the researchers trying to silence the noise, and a patient who would rather take a cure than a million pounds. and as a new tax year kicks off, we're spring cleaning your accounts with money expert laura pomfret. she's sharing the banks you need to sign up to today to bag the very latest deals, and how to earn hundreds just by switching! all that, plus we're fixing more than just your finances this morning, as we're off to the repair shop barn, catching up with three of the restoration regulars and meeting the brand—new expertjoining the team. see you at 9:30.

that is rebecca. see you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. a woman has been found stabbed to death at her home in westminster. police say they were contacted by the victim's friends, concerned about her welfare. officers forced entry to her address in stanhope place yesterday morning, and found her dead. and dashcam footage as they hunt for her killer. further rail delays and cancellations are expected today, following the aslef union strikes yesterday. an overtime ban — meaning drivers are refusing to work on rest days — is affecting services. passengers are being advised to only travel if absolutely necessary, and to check before setting off. the area around a police station that caught fire in newham remains closed a month on — with local busineses saying

it's affecting trade. much of forest gate police station on romford road was destroyed in the blaze on the 6th of march. newham council and the police say the closure is due to the risk of falling debris — but they're working to reopen the road. a london hotel has apologised after a blind woman was told she was unable to book a room with her guide dog. journalist siobhan meade wanted to stay at the hampton by hilton hotel in old street, but its website stated service animals were not allowed — something which has been illegal since the 2010 equality act. i am pleased to see that, from the action of my social media, they are changing their website. and i hope that all businesses, all companies, all organisations are going to look at their website to make sure that they are compliant with guide and assistance dogs. let's take a look at the tubes now.

now onto the weather with kat. hello, there, good morning to you. it's an unsettled start to our tuesday morning — got strong winds out there with largely cloudy skies and spells of rain. that rain's going to be on and off through this morning. there'll be some showers to follow through the second half of the day. i think the best chance of seeing any brightness will be towards the end of the afternoon, but those strong winds will persist, so we're looking at gusts today around 40 to 50 miles per hour, highs of around 12 celsius. 50 through this evening, those winds will gradually start to fall lighter, any showers will clear so it'll be dry through the night with clear skies. and under those clear skies, our temperatures will fall away to around three to five celsius. so the coldest spots could see some frost tomorrow morning. it'll be a dry and sunny start to the day, but through wednesday afternoon it will cloud over, and there's just the chance of a few spots of drizzle. breezy, but winds are not as strong, of course, as they will be today. now, cabmen's shelters used to provide much—needed rest stops

for licensed cab drivers, at a time when cabs were all horse—drawn. now one in north london has been given grade ii—listed status. the shelter on wellington place in stjohn's wood is one of only 13 surviving shelters in london. they now all have listed status. you can read more about that story on our webiste. i'll be back with another update at 9.15. have a very good morning. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. millions of people witnessed history yesterday — as a total solar eclipse plunged parts of north america into darkness for four minutes. as day turned to night, people gathered to watch the phenomenon — and our north america reporter nada tawfik was with them. cheering.

scenes of awe and wonder all along the eclipse's path of totality. crowds on the beaches of mexico's west coast were the first to experience the astrological phenomenon as the moon passed in front of the sun, completely blocking its light. over the next two and a half hours, cities large and small were plunged into darkness as the great north american eclipse made its way across the united states and canada. in russellville, arkansas, two life—changing moments at once... cheering. ..as these 300 couples tied the knot in a mass wedding. and living life in the fast lane — these spectators captured it from the indianapolis motor speedway. those who viewed the cosmic event from the natural wonder of niagara falls — including this bbc team — had the weather to contend with, but a full day of cloudy skies

didn't dampen the mood. the crowd here isjust jubilant and excited, and you can see just how dark it is. then, a stroke of luck — a break in the clouds. there it is! wow, that is spectacular! oh, wow, that is fabulous. here we go, it is fully... you can see it fully now. onlookers said the moment was indescribable. it was so nice to be connected with so many different people, you know, just humanity watching this kind of amazing natural phenomenon happening. i found it really moving. it's really one of those things where you hear everyone, like, gasp and yell and it'sjust... it's amazing. we really wanted to see the total darkness. - that was crazy to witness. the sun's corona and its flares will be studied by nasa. for this astronaut, though, the significance of the eclipse isn't rocket science. it does make you feel

a little bit small. you have these huge heavenly bodies moving through the sky. it does humble a person to think about the majesty of our planets. if anything puts our place in the universe into perspective, this is it — and it's hard to find something 30 million people can agree on. nada tawfik, bbc news, niagara falls, new york. and if you enjoyed that you can look forward to it happening here in the uk in 2090. forward to it happening here in the uk in 20530-— forward to it happening here in the uk in 2090.- september i uk in 2090. brilliant. september 2090. uk in 2090. brilliant. september 2090- 0k- _ uk in 2090. brilliant. september 2090. ok. get— uk in 2090. brilliant. september 2090. ok. get your— uk in 2090. brilliant. september 2090. ok. get your diary - uk in 2090. brilliant. september 2090. ok. get your diary ready, | uk in 2090. brilliant. september- 2090. ok. get your diary ready, that will be 2090. off; get your diary ready, that will be fined. 2090. ok. get your diary ready, that will be fined. really _ 2090. ok. get your diary ready, that will be fined. really looking - will be fined. really looking forward to _ will be fined. really looking forward to it. _ will be fined. really looking forward to it. see _ will be fined. really looking forward to it. see you - will be fined. really looking | forward to it. see you there. probably _ forward to it. see you there. probably not. _ we've spoken about this issue on breakfast before — the struggle to park in regular spaces as vehicles get bigger and bigger. nina's here. or other space is getting smaller and smaller? fir or other space is getting smaller and smaller?— or other space is getting smaller and smaller? ., , ., and smaller? or do we get bigger and bitter? it and smaller? or do we get bigger and bigger? it is — and smaller? or do we get bigger and bigger? it is a — and smaller? or do we get bigger and bigger? it is a real— and smaller? or do we get bigger and

bigger? it is a real problem. - and smaller? or do we get bigger and bigger? it is a real problem. us - bigger? it is a real problem. us putting a few centimetres on? some damage is being done. good morning. we've talked before on breakfast about how cars are getting wider, making it trickier to park. and a report out today says we're having to become "cartortionists" with one in five of us having to exit via the boot because there's not enough door space. get your tape measure out. on average, a family car is now 180 centimetres wide, with the most popular models on average 13cm wider than when they were launched. but look at this. parking spacves have stayed the same for decades now — 240 centimetres wide, leaving just 30cm either side to get in and out of your car. that there is the length of a cornflake box, or a couple of hot dogs. almost a third of us have opted for a bigger car in the last five years, compounding the squeeze.

more space for comfort, snazzier designs but also new tech driving up the average size. it's leading to tension, and damage and in some cases danger. 50 should we all do our bit? consumers can make a more conscious decision when they're thinking about where to park. so, you know, i know personally, for me, i have a young daughter, so i need to think about where i can park so that i can get her out. so sometimes i'll look to park on the end of the line, or maybe a little bit further away from the place i'm going to, just to kind of avoid these instances happening. but, ultimately, ithink, you know, if it's a busy location and there are, you know, limited spaces that people can park in, i think that consumers can start thinking about, you know, "here can i park?" "can i move a little bit over?" that consumers can start thinking about, you know, "where can i park?" "can i move a little bit over?" "can i make sure i park if i have a smaller car or a bigger car next to a smaller car or a bigger car?" just so that it kind of creates that little bit more space for people

to get in and out of. but, as you will well know, not everyone is entirely public spirited when it comes to parking! new standards were introduced injune, suggesting spaces in new car parks are made longer and wider. one car park in lincolnshire is voluntarily blazing the trail. have a watch — bbc breakfast�*s version of baywatch. you might find yourself wanting to move to lincoln. some usual car parking spaces give you just a few inches either side of your car, and that can result in knocks and scrapes. but what if your space looked more like this? well, in lincoln's broadgate car park, all your parking dreams — if you have them — may just have come true. because just look at these for whoppers! ample room for this little fiat when your space measures almost 3.5m wide — a full metre, or 3ft, wider than your average car parking space. but to give you an even better idea for scale, we took our very large bbc transit van to park in one

of these enormous spaces. this van is a big beast, but it wasn't even a snug fit. you can also see where the lines used to be. so, as you can see, we still have all of this room on this side, and about the same again on this. and we can even open our massive door as wide as we like without any fear of scratches or scrapes. and we've even measured these distances for you. approximately 81cm on the driver's side and 85cm on the passenger side. i was really surprised last night when i was parking. because i was adamant that obviously it must be the wrong lines. but, no, it's legit. it would be nice if everywhere was like this, if i'm honest. to get the children out of the car, it's ideal. look at all this! it's amazing. i can't believe how big they've done it. it's quite good because you're less likely to get your car damaged. we've often gone to car parks and then you find little dings down the side of your car, where somebody has opened

the door onto it. so the wider, the better, really. it does, however, mean 79 fewer spaces at this car park. but, after positive feedback, the city of lincoln council says they will review what's possible at other older car parks. the only other drawback is this car park was pretty full. simon spark, bbc news. there was a beautiful big spaces, the stuff dreams are made of. but if — and until — those bigger spaces become standard, the squeeze continues. stressful, and expensive. a third of drivers damaged their vehicle in a car park last year, and the average cost of repairs was way over £200. almost every single car that comes into the shop has had, like, a minor car park ding, or someone's opened the door, you know, caught the panel, took the paint off, and it needs a repair. the most common that we end up seeing is the bollard damage, because it's quite severe, and obviously sometimes smaller car park dents where people open the door on the car — people just leave it and just, like,

think, "oh," you know, "i'll pass it on or leave it to a later date when it needs fixing." whereas with the bollard damage, it sort of needs, you know, instant repair before it starts to rust or galvanise on the aluminium panels. so before you buy that new car think about the size — and, as james was saying, that galvanising damage on the aluminium panels! thank you for getting in touch. ellen has been touch saying... "i had to get out of the car for my husband to park, so that he could get out. in this photo our wing mirror is folded in. who designed this car park? who indeed? andrew has not missed an opportunity to humble brag. "how about this for parallel parking? close to the kerb, nobody "dinged", and less than 30cm front or back." well done, andrew. this one comes

oh, it's brilliant — when we're passing, we can come in for a coke. where you do it on a lot of pub car parks, and they wouldn't look nice at it. but, no, it's brilliant in here. can come in in us muck, and we're always welcome. it's a big bay, so we can get in. we're passing with a tanker on t�*back, we can get in with that. first there, first served! it is, yeah. yeah. the parking bay was installed during a refurbishment at the anchor inn in tideswell, derbyshire. one day, randomly, a fella came in with a muck spreader and a tractor. and i always thought, if you could potentially have a parking space for it. as far as i know, is the world's first pub tractor parking space. and, yeah, i don't know who worked it out, but apparently it is the world's first, yeah. phenomenal. it's been really good. people — the general consensus is this is a great idea. and if it's supporting the farming community,

then that's really good. i've farmed round here all my life. i've been coming in the anchor since i was a young boy, which was 40—odd years ago. farming is a very isolated industry. you work a lot of hours and it is nice to come, meet up. if you see somebody�*s tractor there, you think, oh, you're going to call in and have a chinwag with them. so we all know each other�*s tractors, we all know who's about. and if we've got ten minutes spare and we want us dinner or whatever, that's. .. you know, we'll call it and have a chinwag. it's very... it's very different. very different, yeah. it's difficult at the moment for farming. it is. if you've got — at least you've got a place to come to and relax and friendly atmosphere, then the pub's the place to go. and if they can come in a tractor, then come on a tractor. great! alex thorpe, bbc news.

the trouble is, every farm in the land now knows about it and every tractor in the country will be heading for the car park. like attractive _ heading for the car park. like attractive convention. - heading for the car park. like attractive convention. they i heading for the car park. like i attractive convention. they will have to be _ attractive convention. they will have to be met _ attractive convention. they will have to be met narrow - attractive convention. they will have to be met narrow again. i we're just a couple of days away from the start of the masters golf at augusta where the best in the sport will be competing for that coveted green jacket. ahead of the first major of the year, john has been catching up with one of the british hopefuls justin rose — on the pristine greens of wentworth. so talk us through — if this is the masters, justin, what would you be doing? this is going to play two yards shorter because we're going downhill a little bit. lovely. it's incrementally better, but not... the crowd go wild. justin, welcome to bbc breakfast. thank you, john. yes, nice to be here. nice to be home! i think the last time we had you on breakfast, it was just when you'd won olympic gold at the olympics in rio in 2016. yeah. that was honestly one of — probably the — best moment of my career. cheering.

the medal ceremony, ijust remember being almost an out—of—body experience. you know, singing the national anthem and really feeling like i'd contributed to team gb — something bigger than myself — was just such an amazing feeling. it is an olympic year, so could you reveal on breakfast now whether or not you'd be going for olympic gold again this year in paris? i'm going to be going for it. probably my primary goal for the summer is to play good enough golf to qualify for the team and then go ahead and do the business and be a part of it. talk us through where we are now. very iconic golf course, wentworth. was it an easy thing when you were moving back to the uk to think...come back here? you know, i grew up in fleet, 20 minutes away. so you're still in touch with a lot of people you grew up with? yeah, absolutely. no pressure! nothing like having a major champion watching you play golf, is it? right? hi, mate, you all right? and i've gotten to know a lot of footballers. so who've you played around with? i mean, harry kane, england legend, you know, captain. gareth bale — great golfer, as well. is harry kane is good at golf

as he is scoring goals for england? no, he's not as good because he's exceptional at that, but he's a very, very, very good golfer. hits the ball a mile — probably hits it further than i do. really? which is kind of a little bit, you know, frustrating! good shot. look at that. i'll tell you what — the camera should follow you around more often. thanks for the demo. i've got some photos that i wanted you to kind of have a look through. tell us what memories these bring back for you. yeah. fresh—faced kid. obviously, this is, you know, 18th hole, 17—year—old. this is my last—ever shot as an amateur. that jumper was. . .the rage. get in! "get in," they cry. that's a moment that people still remember you for, don't they? as a 17—year—old, that moment at the open. absolutely. and for the longest time, it looked like that was all i was going to be remembered for. there's father. father rose. and then this moment's incredibly important and powerful and special to me. this is me winning the us open on father's day. because your dad died of cancer, didn't he, when you were 22?

yes. what impact did that have on you at the time? yeah, i mean, that was a very, very tough time in my life, for sure. yeah, he was my coach until i turned pro. we spent hours upon hours upon hours together. so, yeah, he was an incredibly influential part of my life. but to win the us open — one of golf�*s biggest tournaments — on father's day... yeah. ..and you recognise your dad, having just won. yeah. there's. .. there's something in that, isn't there? it was like he was standing next to me. it was that feeling of closeness that i hadn't experienced for a number of years, since he'd passed, that was a special as winning the tournament. like, he could have been right there. it was very cool. what would he have said to you if he was? "about time, come on!" do you drive as well as you play golf, justin? er... no, no. i get confused these days whether i'm on the left or the right hand side of the road,

you know, spending so much time in the states. talk to us about the masters — is there any tournament in the world quite like it? i mean, no, there isn't. the masters is something special, and it's a cross between the chelsea flower show and a golf tournament. i think it's the only major championship, as well, that we play at the same venue. you know, obviously, if you win the open championship, you know, you win it, but the following year you're defending that claretjug at a different venue. i'll grab the flag. this is the moment. 0k. i basically had this putt to win the masters before — 2017 was very similar to this. and the puttjust stayed high and touch the right edge on the way past. so it's quite astonishing that i didn't win the tournament. drains it! oh, look at that. so he's made it look so easy. 0h! yeah. convincing. never a doubt. to get one of those special green jackets you're presented with if you win it, is that the greatest achievement? for me, being a british golfer, i still think to have the claretjug sitting on my dining—room table — i still think that is the ultimate.

but if i could hold the claretjug whilst wearing a green jacket — you know, while we're dreaming — that would be, for me, a career made. that is quite some dream, claretjug and greenjacket at that is quite some dream, claretjug and green jacket at the same time. manifest, manifest. that was john watson speaking tojustin rose. we have mark knopfler from dire straits in just a we have mark knopfler from dire straits injust a moment but we have mark knopfler from dire straits in just a moment but first let's go to carol. good morning. first it is wet and windy. _ good morning. first it is wet and windy. and — good morning. first it is wet and windy, and cooler than yesterday but it will— windy, and cooler than yesterday but it will brighten up later. from the west _ it will brighten up later. from the west you — it will brighten up later. from the west. you can see the amount of rainfall— west. you can see the amount of rainfall we — west. you can see the amount of rainfall we are expecting through the rest — rainfall we are expecting through the rest of the morning. it is pushing _ the rest of the morning. it is pushing northwards and eastwards. behind _ pushing northwards and eastwards. behind it. _ pushing northwards and eastwards. behind it, it will brighten up, we will see — behind it, it will brighten up, we will see sunny spells development also a _ will see sunny spells development also a few— will see sunny spells development also a few showers and it will be windy~ _ also a few showers and it will be windy. when the inland with gales

live from london. this is bbc news. eu climate scientists show the world has now experienced record—breaking temperatures for ten months in a row, with march the hottest ever. the post office inquiry continues today. lead campaigner alan bates is due to give evidence later this morning. as israel—gaza peace talks take place, hamas says proposals for a ceasefire deal fall short of its demands. ireland's new prime minister, or taoiseach, simon harris, is due to be formally elected later today. we'll bring you the latest from dublin. hello, i'm kylie pentelow.

european union scientists say last month was the hottest march ever recorded. new data from the eu's copernicus climate service shows the run of monthly temperature records has now extended to ten in a row. the average was 0.1 celsius above the previous high set in 2016. that has fuelled concerns that the world could be tipping into a new phase of even faster climate change. our climate editor justin rowlatt reports. last week, the president of zimbabwe declared a national disaster because of a deep drought in the country. low rainfall has slashed crop yields, driving up food prices and putting an estimated 2.7 million people at risk of hunger. it is just one example of a pattern of heat and drought affecting countries as far afield as southern europe and southeast asia. this graph shows how march continued the world's run of record—breaking

monthly temperatures. this extreme heat has got many climate scientists worried.
