10:30 am
back now to nicky schiller. the headlines. the world's first personalised vaccine for melanoma skin cancer, hailed as a potential "gamechanger" for treatment, is being tested on british patients. top us diplomat antony blinken meets with china's president xi in beijing. actress ashleyjudd calls the overturning of one of harvey weinstein�*s rape convictions an act of "institutional betrayal". ahead of the 80th anniversary of d—day, school children in london speak to veterans about what it was really like on the beaches of normandy. humza yousaf�*s future as scotland's first minister is hanging in the balance as he faces a no confidence vote.
10:31 am
after ending his coalition with the greens. the bbc understands he will not be announcing his resignation despite a conservative confidence vote in his leadership of the scottish government, likely to be scheduled for holyrood next week. our scotland local correspondent david henderson has the story. the bute house agreement lasted less than 1,000 days, but it brought green ministers into government for the first time anywhere in the uk — and with them came a raft of green policies. so what do voters think now they're gone? i think it's sad because i think the greens are a good influence on the snp, but i guess we've had a minority government before, so i guess it's going to happen again. yeah, like, ivote green most of the time. but, yeah, it hasn't been brilliant. for months, this power—sharing deal was under pressure, with key plans like the deposit return scheme stalled, then ditched. chanting: trans rights! the final straw, a row over the pause on the prescription of puberty blockers for under—18s, and the scrapping of climate targets.
10:32 am
so now the deal�*s collapsed, there's pressure on humza yousaf to change direction. but the balance of power at holyrood means it's not that simple. with the greens backing that no—confidence vote, the alba party's sole msp is crucial. well, luckily for humza, he's put the decision—making power of the parliament effectively into the hands of one of the brightest and best and most responsible msps in the parliament, which is ash regan of the alba party. she's one of the few adults in the room. so he has the opportunity to try and secure her vote, but he'll have to work at it. and what now for the greens? they're out of office, but not — they think — out of power. wherever we are in the parliament, i we will fight for our principles, . and whereverwe are, we canwirx _ you know, one of our flagship policies — - free bus travel for under—225 — was a victory that we won - from the scottish government before we entered government _ for the first time. so we can win in government, l
10:33 am
we can win out of government. so the scene's set for days of horse trading, then a knife—edge vote to decide what follows this power—sharing deal. david henderson, bbc news, holyrood. with more on this i'm joined now by our political correspondent georgia roberts. what are we expecting from the first first minister? he has cancel one conference and doing another. yes. conference and doing another. yes, were expeeting _ conference and doing another. yes, were expeeting to _ conference and doing another. yes, were expecting to sit _ conference and doing another. yes, were expecting to sit at _ conference and doing another. ye: were expecting to sit at the steps he intends to make as the leader of a minority government after he decided to pull the plug on the power—sharing agreement with the scottish greens yesterday, this is the beginning of humza yousaf coming out fighting after a perilous 2a hours for him and his leadership. he has had a supportive of voices, from his party, sn pease, westminster leader, but the clouds are still gathering for the first minister.
10:34 am
the scottish greens dramatically announced yesterday that after the scottish conservatives said they were terrible on a confidence motion, that they will be voting to oust humza yousaf, suggested this morning that the scottish greens might change their mind on this if humza yousaf reached out to them. we understand he has yet to do so. all chatter still remains on the no—confidence vote. and that's soul msp ash regan has written a letter to humza yousaf outlining her demands and how he can get her support... and back... if all —— alba... her letter has been published in the past hour also and i will read you a bit of it here because in it she says "the bute house agreement is over, scotland deserves and demands a re—side, independence for scotland is
10:35 am
protecting the dignity, safety and rights of women and children and providing a competent government for businesses and people across the scotland and my priority and door is open to discussing the progress of my proposed scottish parliament powers referendum bill." ash regan was formerly of the snp and stood against humza yousaf in the snp leadership contest last year, she has sincejoined the pro—independence and the party led by alex salmond and she touched in this letter a long—standing issues she has had a scottish government policy. she highlights her bill in hollywood of devolving powers for a second vote on independence, so she is setting out her demands there. alba sources say to me that they want tangible commitments from humza yousaf if he is to win over her support to get the backing to get through this vote next week. we will see if he says anything when he speaks later today, but certainly now we know he has tabled in another
10:36 am
speech for today after counselling and we will see what he has to say after another perilous few hours for him. , ., ., ., ~ i want to bring you a line of breaking news that we are getting in from wales. 13—year—old girl has been remanded to youth detention accommodation. she is charged with three counts of attempted murder. but after a stabbing at a school in south wales earlier in the week. that incident left to teachers and a pupil hurt and they have since been released from hospital and the 13—year—old cannot be named and she has been remanded to youth detention accommodation charged with three counts of attempted murder after appearing in court at llanelli court.
10:37 am
it felt like a week where it has notched up a gear. the local mayoral and police crime commissioner elections in england and wales are days away and the general election, well, it could be imminent as well. quite how imminent? that's what everyone is asking. joining me now is annabel tiffin, political editor at bbc north west and paul barltrop political editor at bbc west. annabel, what are the interesting areas of each of the parties there? politics is always interesting in the north—west. we have 22 councils holding elections this time, 17 r labour held and they will probably stay that way, the interesting ones are going to be the five that are under no overall control. at the top of labour�*s list is bolton where labour will want to take back
10:38 am
control and at the moment is under no overall control and they have a minority administration and if they can take overall control it will signal the rebuilding of labour in that town, if you like, because at the moment out of three parliamentary seats, two of them are conservative and that was always a traditionally red seat. elsewhere, lancashire, places like pendle and burnley, both have seen labour councils quit recently and quite large number, quit labour in protest over the party's stance on gazza and very quickly, there is rochdale and you will remember that by—election win for george galloway. he is hoping that his party is going to make quite an impact on rochdale council, he is putting up 13 of his candidates there in councils in manchester and barry. it will be interesting to see whether international issues will have an effect on our local elections. i was auoin to effect on our local elections. i was going to say. _ effect on our local elections. i was

10:43 am
former secretary of state as well and they have both held that title since the roles were created in 2017. some people say you can stick a red rosette on a donkey in manchester and liverpool and they will win, but that's perhaps not entirely fair, particularly in the livable city region as the liberal democrats to have a good standing there, particularly the local council. andy burnham is a popular figure and he will buy 67% of the last mayoral election. he has had some questions asked of him during his tenure of the greater manchester police, they went in special measures and is now out of special measures and is now out of special measures and is now out of special measures and andy burnham will say that due to him but his opponents would say well actually, it happened during your watch. and also the clean air zone which is the equivalent of euler lives in london, it has been postponed the moment but has caused a lot of anger and upset for drivers in greater manchester.
10:44 am
however, is probably fair to say anything the opponents would probably agree that it would be very unlikely for either andy burnham or steve rotherham to lose their seats. they are both up against liberal democrats, conservatives, the greens and independents and in greater manchester, there is also a reform candidate. he was standing as a conservative candidate at the beginning of the elections but he defected to reform saying he didn't believe the conservatives were standing up for the north any more and just quickly, we also have up many elections. we have a by—election in blackpool south after the resignation of scott benton, the former conservative mp and labour will be really wanting to grab that seat back. it's a bellwether seat talking a bellwether seat. whatever happens there is quite often what happens there is quite often what happens in the general election. finally, paul, we talked about national issues were one of the key issues for people that the local council can influence? the reality
10:45 am
is councils _ council can influence? the reality is councils are _ council can influence? the reality is councils are in _ council can influence? the reality is councils are in tough _ council can influence? the reality is councils are in tough financial. is councils are in tough financial circumstances of the moment. two thirds _ circumstances of the moment. two thirds of— circumstances of the moment. two thirds of what major council spend is spent _ thirds of what major council spend is spent on — thirds of what major council spend is spent on social services and child _ is spent on social services and child protection but there's not a lot of— child protection but there's not a lot of money for much else and realistically, is there a great deal of difference between the parties and how— of difference between the parties and how they run councils? in my estimation — and how they run councils? in my estimation there isn't a lot of difference. they really have to focus — difference. they really have to focus on — difference. they really have to focus on those core services and so in terms _ focus on those core services and so in terms of— focus on those core services and so in terms of local issues, there aren't— in terms of local issues, there aren't any— in terms of local issues, there aren't any really big ones that are playing _ aren't any really big ones that are playing. you do get the state of the roads _ playing. you do get the state of the roads which is always a bugbear but parties _ roads which is always a bugbear but parties in _ roads which is always a bugbear but parties in opposition criticise and parties _ parties in opposition criticise and parties run — parties in opposition criticise and parties run council say, they haven't_ parties run council say, they haven't got the money to do much about— haven't got the money to do much about it _ haven't got the money to do much about it i— haven't got the money to do much about it. i have to say when it comes— about it. i have to say when it comes to _ about it. i have to say when it comes to the voting next week, i think— comes to the voting next week, i think the — comes to the voting next week, i think the biggest single thing would be people's perception of the government and the feeling about the cost of— government and the feeling about the cost of living in the state of the nhs _ cost of living in the state of the nhs and — cost of living in the state of the nhs and when you say to people, does a national— nhs and when you say to people, does a national issues they say yes, but that's— a national issues they say yes, but that's what— a national issues they say yes, but that's what matters most to me. paul

10:48 am
music venues, small music venues have asked for a subsidy from arenas, a bit like the football pyramid where premier league clubs pay a subsidy to smaller clubs and gary roden dismissed this and said that there wasn't a robust system for deciding where that money would go and that some smaller venues, or they have big financial challenges, some were also poorly run and said there had been quite an aggressive campaign by the small venues to get arenas pay up and sparked a bit of a row with those smaller venues which hasn't helped the situation with co—0p live arena getting off the ground. co-op live arena getting off the round. ~ . , co-op live arena getting off the round. ~ ., , ., ,, ., ground. what is happening now in terms of the _ ground. what is happening now in terms of the running _ ground. what is happening now in terms of the running of _ ground. what is happening now in terms of the running of it - ground. what is happening now in terms of the running of it and - ground. what is happening now in terms of the running of it and are | terms of the running of it and are we sure that peter kay event is going to go ahead?— we sure that peter kay event is going to go ahead? gary roden has been replaced _ going to go ahead? gary roden has been replaced by —

10:50 am
in a history lesson like no other. they've been given the chance to speak to veterans about what it was really like on the beaches of normandy. educating the children of today about the world wars is an important part of the d—day commemorations asjohn maguire reports. for many of those who fought over and across these beaches in northern france 80 years ago, the chance to tell their story not in the name of war but to promote peace is an opportunity they take whenever they can. the british normandy memorial above what was codenamed gold beach carries the names of the 22,442 under british command who died securing the coastline and fighting towards the liberation of paris. but now, the site is about to embark on a new phase, with the opening this summer of an education centre, as nicholas witchell, a trustee, explained to me last week. phase one was the memorial,
10:51 am
phase two has always been the education centre. education is so important. it was always a priority for the veterans. we've got to get a message through to younger generations to remember and to understand. so over there is the winston churchill centre for education. it will be ready for the 6th ofjune for its official opening. the ages of the fallen, immortalised in stone here, tell the story of how so many died so young. there were teenagers serving on d—day, so any veterans are today well into their 90s, if not older. but the few are becoming fewer. just this week, bill gladden, who we filmed injanuary celebrating his 100th birthday, has sadly died. he will be sorely missed this summer. like the other normandy veterans, he was someone who gave so much 80 years ago and who believed in sharing now, helping
10:52 am
people to understand the sacrifices his comrades and friends made and hoping future generations will never be asked to do the same. a fascinating project being reported byjohn maguire. i want to talk about one of the things we all need which is sleep and how to get more of it. the sleep charity is calling on the government to introduce a national strategy which would highlight the importance of getting the rest we need and also to help those with insomnia and sleep apnoea. tim moffat has spoken to one man struggling with sleep for years. so this is the sound of you sleeping? yeah. john has a condition called sleep apnoea. heavy snoring. what does your wife think?
10:53 am
she's not a fan. heavy snoring. sleep apnoea is a disorder in which breathing stops and starts during sleep. the airway becomes blocked, sufferers often wake up suddenly. heavy snoring. loud snoring is a classic symptom. so some people might think the sound of snoring is the sound of a good night's sleep. no, absolutely not. when you have a snoring sound, your airways are blocking, you're not getting enough oxygen, increasing the chance of stroke, heart attack, all sorts of things. heavy snoring. it's pretty loud. yeah. but you can hear the... snoring stops. that's where the blocks occur. and forjohn, getting to sleep in the first place has been a problem since he was a teenager. i'd always put it down to the fact that i have a stammer, and it was the anxieties around speaking to people the following day. but about six years ago, i learned to control my speech. but still, those sleepless nights, the waking up — they kept happening. so it's about 12:30, 12:45—ish.
10:54 am
no signs of sleep, and starting to get a bit worried. if i have a really bad run, i have to take time off work because ijust can't physically function enough. john was disappointed by the support offered by his local health authority. all they offer is recommendation to lose weight — i don't think i fall into that category — or cpap. a cpap machine blows air through a mask. it helps some people with sleep apnoea, but notjohn. he's now travelling from the west midlands to a hospital in london for treatment there. it's very frustrating. it's a real postcode lottery. a manifesto for sleep has now been published by health experts. it calls for a national sleep strategy. the report says sleep is underappreciated and misunderstood. poor sleep, it says, has become normalised, with almost 70% of people with sleep issues yet to seek support. there's huge risks to people's physical and mental health,
10:55 am
so we know that those that are sleeping poorly are taking more high—risk behaviours. so driving while sleepy, making poor choices around nutrition, around physical activity. dr sarah gilchrist has advised top athletes on sleep. she backs a national sleep strategy. the uk loses about 40 billion a year due to sleep—related issues — whether that's people having accidents at work, or they're just getting bugs more often — their immune system's compromised because they're sleeping poorly. so where have things got to now, then? its backers say the sleep strategy should mean sleep advice becomes a key part of all health campaigns in england, with more training for gps, and treatment available in every nhs trust. there's potentially millions of people at risk of accidents at work, or car accidents and things. and if it's not diagnosed quickly, obviously those chances of something happening increases.
10:56 am
tim muffett, bbc news. i want to show you live pictures out of china. this is beijing and there you can see the american flag is in there. we are expecting america's top diplomat the secretary of state top diplomat the secretary of state to hold a news conference after his talks with the chinese president. the chinese pm says both countries should be partners are not rivals as those talks got away. we will be live there as soon as we see mr antony blinken. here the weather. hello. there was another chilly start for many of us. a touch of frost here and there. we've been shivering for days. we'd like something a little bit warmer. we'll have to wait until the middle of next week before the temperatures recover. for today, though, we're forecasting sunshine and showers. and yes, it's going to be on the cold side. so here's the forecast for friday, weather front very close to the south west of the uk.
10:57 am
that spells thick cloud and outbreaks of rain for cornwall, devon, somerset, perhaps along the southern counties for a time too. i suspect a little bit of damp weather for wales and generally quite cloudy across many southern parts. north of that it's a day of sunny spells with scattered clouds and occasional showers across northern england, but particularly across northern and eastern scotland. temperatures between eight, maybe 12 or 13 in the south now through this evening. if anything, the rain could turn heavier for a time in the south of the uk, certainly aligning we think along the m4. so a soggy picture through this evening and overnight north of that of the clearer skies, you can see a touch of frost there for northern england, northern ireland and also parts of scotland, around minus two in newcastle. so a really nippy start, but a sunny start there across the north east of england, lake district, sunshine to first thing, but then in the south that weather front across wales into the midlands, east anglia. notice that the south coast brightens up a little bit through the morning and into the afternoon. but there's another area of rain heading towards the south. temperatures tomorrow,
10:58 am
13 in glasgow, maybe 14 in london, temperatures recovering because the weather is also coming in from the south. so a warmer direction. not that you're going to feel the benefits because sunday is looking overcast with outbreaks of rain, widespread rain across much of england. notice scotland and northern ireland your best bet for sunshine here. but eventually that rain will clear away into the north sea, leaving a legacy of cloud and dampness, i think anyway. so temperatures 13 in belfast typically into double figures with that weather coming in from the south. now on the temperatures, is it going to warm up? yes, it is. in fact, if we look at the temperature of the atmosphere. so the air mass here, the air�*s coming in from the south east and the east, slightly warmer air. so that means the temperatures will steadily climb. we're talking about the mid or high teens. so a gentle climb in the south around mid—teens in the north. and the weather will remain a mixed bag. bye— bye.
10:59 am
11:00 am
live from london. this is bbc news. the world's first personalised vaccine for melanoma skin cancer, hailed as a potential "gamechanger" for treatment, is being tested on british patients. we'll be hearing from american secretary of state antony blinken — after china's leader xi jinping says the two countries should be partners, not rivals. it's another big day at the post office inquiry — a former executive accused of covering up knowledge of the faulty it system is giving evidence for a second day. actress ashleyjudd tells the bbc that the overturning of one of harvey weinstein's rape convictions is an act of "institutional betrayal". there's no doubt that harvey weinstein is a serial sexual predator. it doesn't change the fact that he committed these crimes.
