as russians head to the polls, officials accuse ukraine of upping attacks on its territory to intimidate voters. vaughan gething is elected as welsh labour leader and first minister of wales — making him the first black leader of any european country. and one of the oldest and most prestigious film studios in the arab world has been destroyed by a fire in cairo. hello, richard preston. welcome to programme. we start with some breaking news. princess diana's brother, charles spencer, has told the bbc that press attention suffered by his sister was "more dangerous" than the attention online surrounding the current princess of wales. but speaking in an interview to be broadcast on the bbc�*s

sunday with laura kuenssberg tomorrow, he said, "i do worry about what happened to the truth." earl spencer also reveals he and his sister suffered violent punishments at home by a nanny referred to in his new book as "nanny forster", that he and diana knew were "painful", and "really hurt". he said, "damaging violence to children" affects them, "whatever family they are born into". let's get more from my colleague graham satchell. what was the first of this interview? this graham satchell. what was the first of this interview?— of this interview? this was brutally honest actually _ of this interview? this was brutally honest actually a _ of this interview? this was brutally honest actually a time _ of this interview? this was brutally honest actually a time is _ of this interview? this was brutally honest actually a time is rather- honest actually a time is rather difficult interview to watch with earl spencer, princess diana's brother. he's written a book about his experiences in childhood, particularly at boarding school, where he says he suffered shocking levels of violence from the age of eight and was sexually abused from the age of 11, and he also talks about home life with his sister diana and the experience they had with what he describes as a violent

nanny at home, this is what he says. really damaging violence to children is going to affect them, whatever house they come from, whatever family they're born into. and that nanny who did that to us, i mean, she used to crack our heads together if we were both found to have done something naughty — obviously, without my father's knowledge. but it really hurt. it wasn't a tap on the wrist. it was a cracking crunch, you know, and i remember it still. and i think it emphasises, again, the disconnect of parents. and i'm really...|'m not a critic of my parents. they did their best, like 98% of parents do. and i think, again, it was just normal — you leave it to the nanny to deal with this. i have two older sisters, and only later was it found out that a different nanny was punishing them by ladling laxatives down them and my parents couldn't work out why they were constantly ill. so you were dealing with a very unstructured world of privileged parents living parallel lives to their children.

but you and diana and your other sisters were then brought up even in a home environment where staff, nannies who were hired to look after you, were hurting you. again, i don't think we realised that that was wrong. we knew it was painful and we knew it was something we wanted to avoid. but i think children don't know morality necessarily at that stage, or certainly the law. so it was something that we lived with. you can see the honesty he is displaying about what happened at home but i think even more shocking is what he talks about at school. he says that the headmaster at his boarding school beat him in what he described as sadistic thrashings for sexual gratification in the from the age of ii he was groomed by a 20—year—old assistant matron who sexually abused him and he says that

the experience of childhood left him traumatised and angry, that he carried that anger with him through the whole of his adult life. it's very interesting about the lulu —— the eulogy he given the funeral princess diana in 1997, the anchor in that eulogy that was thrown at the establishment and the press, to draw is that right back to his experiences from school and childhood. he says that he had an absolute hatred of injustice and non—truths, and that was born out of that school experience. —— mother was born. the really fascinating insight into princess diana's brother. ., , ., , brother. lots of very powerful stuff. brother. lots of very powerful stuff- are _ brother. lots of very powerful stuff. are there _ brother. lots of very powerful stuff. are there any _ brother. lots of very powerful| stuff. are there any comments brother. lots of very powerful- stuff. are there any comments about the current princess of wales? he did talk the current princess of wales? he: did talk about catherine bott only in passing. i think there are comparisons between princess diana and the current princess of wales, both women are subject of course to huge amounts of scrutiny and

intrusion. catherine hasn't been seenin intrusion. catherine hasn't been seen in public since christmas and obviously not since she had her surgery injanuary and she is the subject now of a swirl of conspiracy theories in this online world that we live in. earl spencer was very clear in the interview that he didn't really want to talk about current members of the royal family but he was asked if the dangers of the online conspiracy world today are more potent than the press intrusion of the 19905 with his sister, this is what he had to say. i think it was more dangerous back in the day. ithink... yeah, if i look back to '97 and diana's death, i think that was so shocking — the circumstances of her death was so shocking — that it did make the industry that supports the paparazzi really consider more carefully what it could and couldn't do, not because they had a moraljudgment but because it was unacceptable

to the public. earl spencer 5peaking earl spencer speaking there. graham satchell, thank you for now. the full interview with charles spencer will be broadcast on bbc one and available on the bbc iplayerfor uk viewers on sunday at 9am gmt. let's go to russia now. russia has accused ukraine of trying to interrupt the russian elections by stepping up attacks on its territory. a second day of voting is taking place in russia's presidential election. vladimir putin is expected to win a further six years in power, as his only serious opponents are either in prison, in exile, or dead. there have been sporadic acts of protest in russia. at various poll stations, people have poured dye into ballot boxes or set them aflame. former russian president dmitry medvedev referred to the protesters a5 "traitors" and called their acts "direct assistance to degenerate5 who are shelling our cities today". his remarks comes as shops and schools have been closed in the russian city

of belgorod after bombardments that authorities there have blamed on ukraine. the belgorod governor said two people were killed — a5 voting continues. ben dubow is a senior fellow at the centre for european policy in washington dc. he explained why the election is taking palce when we know the outcome will be in mr putin's favour. he trained as a lawyer, and he's been meticulously legalistic in his approach to dismantling democracy in russia. so he actually initiated a constitutional referendum back in 2020 to change the constitution to allow for a third consecutive term of his serving as president. this is part of crafting an image of himself as a guarantor of order, as somebody who actually abides by the law as compared to the lawless west, and with

the result a foregone conclusion, it also serves to rea55ert his role as the legitimate expression of the will of the russian people. can you talk us through the mechanics of this election? who oversees it and how do they tie in with the kremlin infrastructure? so, the election is overseen by the central election committee or the cec, which is run by putin loyalist ella pamfilova. it's important to note that the stage is already set well before any votes are tallied, well before anything actually comes to the cec — for instance, there's really no reason for russians to disapprove of the ultra—nationalist candidate, leonid slutsky. he is constantly given a platform on state tv, rules in coalition

with the incumbent united russia party. nonetheless, he only posts about 7% to 10% approval rating. so what putin has done, through control over the media, through networks of largesse, i5 ensure that any opposition candidates or any candidates that can actually run are wildly unpopular. so while the cec will investigate any irregularities that benefit opposition candidates, they are very unlikely to investigate any irregularities that benefit putin. ultimately, the election is the die is cast well before the voting 5tarts. if the die is cast, as you say, then how come we're seeing such high turnout number5? do people feel an obligation to go and vote for a president who's going to win regardless?

yes, the turnout is actually going to be one of the main measures of success of this election for the kremlin. dmitry pe5kov, the presidential spokesperson, has admitted that this isn't a real democratic election, it's more of a test of how well the bureaucracy functions. and so, those turnout numbers are going to tell the kremlin how well their regional allie5, their local partners, can execute on orders that are coming from the kremlin. vaughan gething will become europe's first black leader — after winning the welsh labour leadership election. the outgoing first minister, mark drakeford, will step down from the post next week. mr gething was born in zambia and is a former solicitor. the result of the leadership election was very close.

0ur political editor chris mason was watching the announcement and sent this report. the two contenders had just been told the results, but the rest of us had to wait. vaughan gething's wife and son on the front row. always good to have a book with you just in case dad's work thing on a saturday drags on a bit. and now we turn to the oscar bit. and the winner is vaughn gethin. mr gething celebrated his 50th yesterday and winning the welsh labour leadership. today we turn a page in the book of our nation's history. a history that we write together. notjust because i have the honour of becoming the first black leader in any european country, but because the generational dial hasjumped too. and i want us to use this moment as a starting point for a more confident march into the future. smiles and applause, yes, but questions, too, about a £200,000 donation vaughan gething accepted from a company run by a man

who was convicted twice for environmental offences. the lo5er, jeremy mile5, left pretty sharpi5h. writing on social media, "trust must be continually earned," which sounds like a barb at that donation and vaughan gething. i think at the end of the day, this was a race between two disciples of drakeford, both served in his cabinet. both are responsible for the longest waiting times in the uk, the worst educational outcomes and the weakest economy of the uk nations. that's their record and it doesn't seem like anything will change a5 a result. the welsh nationalist plaid cymru in a cooperation agreement with the labour government here, but they reckon the donation stink5. one way to clear this up would be to pay the money back because whilst he says he's done nothing wrong, it doesn't really pass the smell test. vaughan gething in5i5t5 he's done everything by the book. let's talk about that £200,000 donation. have you spent it all? we've spent lots of money through the campaign on volunteer5, on staff, on the work you need

to do to run a campaign. i think actually what swung it is the fact that we persuaded members that they could believe in me. there's lots of hard work that goes into running a more than three month5 campaign and lots of money. it's an indivi5ible part of modern politics and another 5triking part of modern political leadership diver5ity. growing up, you don't see yourself as different until you realise that the world does see you differently. and that really happened. going into secondary school, looking more and more at the world that i was growing up in, recognising that people saw me differently to my classmates. from schoolboy to first minister — vaughan gething will take on his newjob on wednesday. chris mason with that report. in egypt, one of the oldest and most prestigious film studios in the arab world has been destroyed by a majorfire in cairo. several buildings near al—ahram studio in the giza district of cairo also had to be evacuated

as the fire spread to them. no casualties were reported, but some people had to be treated at the scene for smoke inhalation. translation: the fire reached the upper floors in those - buildings then spread. all those buildings burned down. then the ambulances and fire trucks arrived. this is a cinematography studio where tv shows used to film series in ramadan. the place is always active and nobody knows what happened. some say it's due to a short circuit while others say something strange happened inside. sebastian usher, the middle east analyst at the bbc world service, explained what more we know about the fire. the prime minister, the egyptian prime minister has been visiting, so that gives a sense of the significance it's been regarded in egypt. we don't know 100% quite how big the damage is, you look at the pictures and it looks like the whole thing has been wiped out but it is a

huge area, there are three studios there, and my understanding is that there, and my understanding is that the archives, part of the most significant thing that is in those studios, are still intact. what has been affected is a tv series that was being filmed there, and the set has been destroyed. in ramadan, it is a huge thing in the arab world in egypt to produce these tv series that go every day throughout the holy month, and they carry on filming during the month, so if there is speculation row —— and so there is speculation row —— and so there is speculation over whether that could continue to film. there is another tv series being filmed there which is apparently not affected. a5 there which is apparently not affected. as a studio, it goes back 80 years. it was first established in 1944 80 years. it was first established in 19114 by two egyptian businessmen. it is one of the studios that was active during the golden age of egyptian cinema, when egyptian culture dominated the arab world. it was a unifying cultural aspect of

life in the arab world. people who speak different dialects across the arab world can understand each other through listening to the egyptian dialect. that is change, there no longer the situation, but egypt has huge film and tv industry still photo not quite on the level it was in the 19605 or 705, even the 19805, but this was one series dart it has seen some of the greats of egyptian cinema. 0ne seen some of the greats of egyptian cinema. one of the greatest of egyptian from the writers. so does have significance. i think the pictures were so shocking to see this thing ablaze. egyptian officials has said hamas

her present proposals for a plan to end the fighting. benjamin netanyahu has called the rubble unrealistic but has agreed to send a delegate —— my delegation of israeli negotiators to qatar. it comes as the first managerial —— a maritime humanitarian aid because it has been unloaded onto the shore. the us charity behind the mission world central kitchen is carrying out the mission in co—operation with the united arab emirates. speaking ahead of a two—day trip to the middle east, the german chancellor, 0laf scholz, urged israel to allow unlimited humanitarian aid into gaza. translation: we have a difficult situation. translation: we have a difficult situation- it _ translation: we have a difficult situation. it is _ translation: we have a difficult situation. it is necessary - translation: we have a difficult situation. it is necessary for - translation: we have a difficult situation. it is necessary for aid i situation. it is necessary for aid to reach gaza on a larger scale. i have —— but there will be a topic i also have to talk about. we are also concerned about the further advancement of military deployments. in particular there is a danger that

a large full—scale offensive in rafah will result in many terrible civilian casualties. which must be avoided at all costs. we will have to talk about the long—term perspective. the question of how the peaceful coexistence between a palestinian state in israel can succeed. earlier today, gaza's health ministry updated the number of people who have been killed in the territory since israel launched its military action there in october to 31,553. most of the dead are women and children. here's our correspondent injerusalem, mark lowen. it includes the numbers killed in the last 2a hours, which was a 63 as of this morning. that includes a single strike in central gaza that according to local health officials killed 36 people on one single building. we are yet to hear from the israeli military as to what they

say they were targeting, but it shows the continued disastrous tolls and suffering for people on the ground in gaza. and of course also for those suffering from looming famine, with unicef, the un children's charity, saying that one in three children under the age of two are suffering from acute malnourishment, and that figure is double what it was injanuary. so that is the situation on the ground, and people are desperately needing aid. the first large ship to have arrived with aid coming from cyprus has off—loaded the shipment of aid, and that is a spanish ship which was carrying about 200 tonnes of aid, food aid, oil, flour and rice and that has been off—loaded onto smaller boats, which will then transport it into gaza. it is unclear how it will be distributed, but the israeli forces are saying that they will provide some level of security for that shipment. if it is a successful shipment, the cypriots say a second ship

with 240 tonnes of aid is ready to leave. this all comes a day before new ceasefire talks are due to begin in doha, with the israelis say they are sending a delegation to those talks. the head of the israeli spy agency will have talks with qatari and egyptian officials, perhaps a glimmer of progress even though the israelis say that some of the demands made by hamas are unjustified. let's speak now to doctor margaret harris who is a spokesperson for the world health organization. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. i quoted there those very shocking statistics about child malnutrition, according to your colleagues at unicef. what are your teams on the ground in gaza telling you, particularly about disease and famine among young people? indeed.

in our meetings, people say it is beyond words. it's misery they have never seen. my colleagues are people who have worked in the toughest places in africa, in many, many wars and situations and they have never seen the speed and the horror and misery that people are living in. they are living massively crowded together, starving, in places covered in human waste, unable to clean the place because they can't even get chlorine in. it is good news to hear that at least there is some movement towards a ceasefire because that is the only answer to what we are seeing in gaza right now. you paint a very depressing picture, of course, of the reality therefore people on the ground. i mentioned that ship that has off—loaded food aid. are you getting any medical aid into northern gaza at the moment? we have been able to get medical

aid, and it has been possible for us to do more missions in the last couple of weeks than it has been for a long time. it is harder to get to the north simply because of the destruction and the danger, and we have to get our missions approved, of course, and agreement that we can safely go. we were able to get to the south. now, remember only 12 of 36 hospitals that are even partially functioning, but in the south one hospital is managing to deal with 650 patients and there are 140 staff, and they also have emergency medical teams who are working there as well. we were able to get medical supplies to serve 80,000 patients. it sounds a lot, but it is a drop when you are dealing with the enormity of the health disaster we are dealing with right now.

let's go to south asia now. india has announced the date of its national elections. voting will take place for several weeks from the 19th of april. the current hindu nationalist prime minister narendra modi is expected to win a third term. there are around 968 million eligible voters in india. samira hussain sent us this update. india is the world's largest democracy and there are 968 million eligible voters. in order for all of those people to be able to cast their ballots, voting will take place over several weeks. it is going to be broken down into seven different phases, and the results of the elections are expected on 4thjune. 0n the one hand, you will have the prime minister and his party the bjp, and they are looking very strong coming into these elections.

the country's main opposition party, the congress, is trying to mount a counter to the might of the bjp. they have aligned themselves with more than two dozen other smaller political parties to try and push back against the bjp government. but so far they have not been able to gain much traction. for the prime minister, who is seeking his third consecutive term in office, they are looking, or rather the bjp party is looking, to increase the number of seats that they already have in parliament. pa rt part of the strategy for them to do thatis part of the strategy for them to do that is to concentrate their efforts in these southern part of the country, where they haven't been able to make inroads against some very strong regional parties. these elections are not only going to be watched by people within the country, it is certainly going to be

an election that is watched by countries around the world. some good news from whipsnade zoo in bedfordshire, which is welcome to the birth of a rhino as part of its endangered species breeding programme. the calf was born last week weighing 45 kilos. southern white rhinos are still being hunted for their horns, it's thought that there are only 10,000 adults left in there are only 10,000 adults left in the wild. fun packed, white rhinos have nothing to do with a colour, it's a translation error from the afrikaans word meaning wide. stay with us here on bbc news. tomorrow is going to be a warmer day. today felt a lot chillier across south—eastern parts of the country, but we have all seen the cloud increasing and there has been some rain and drizzle in the air as well. low pressure is staying probably out to the west, but well

ahead of it, this cloud is getting thrown our way, and these weather fronts will bring the wetter weather and that is pushing east. it will clear away from northern areas overnight, but across england and wales, coming up from the south—west, we will see rain developing more widely by the early hours. not welcome rain by any means. eight or nine celsius, but where the cloud breaks later in northern scotland, temperatures down to three orfour celsius. unlike today, tomorrow is going to be an improving picture, where we will see the rain clearing, sunshine coming through and that could lead to a few showers here and there. the rain should not last too long in wales, but you can expect a wet start in the midlands first thing. the cloud will then break, sunny spells will develop, leading to a few showers, mainly for the northern half of the uk. the winds will be quite light and it will be a warmer day. compared with today temperatures will be three or four degrees higher.

in the milder air on sunday night, a couple of weakening weather fronts moving in from the west. they won't bring much rain at all. that's the extent of any cloud and rain early on monday. that moves away, and we will see some sunshine coming through. then the next weather system arrives out in the west, northern ireland, strengthening the winds through the irish sea and into western most parts of scotland. it is a southerly wind, hence those higher than normal temperatures, peaking at 15 or 16 celsius. the wind is coming from a long way south, hence those higher temperatures. but the potentialfor more rain. this area of low pressure is going to track north and it will take the rain overnight across the northern half of the uk, and then clear away north on tuesday. following that, there will be a few showers, but then it will dry up with some sunshine. still some rain hanging on in the south and south—west. those temperatures not

changing much, 13—16 c.

live from london. this is bbc news. the brother of diana, princess of wales, tells the bbc about how he and his sister were punished violently as children by one of their nannies. i don't think we realised that that was wrong. we knew it was painful and we knew it was something we wanted to avoid,

but i think children don't know morality necessarily at that stage. vaughan gething has been elected as the next welsh labour leader and first minister of wales, the first black leader of any european country. in his acceptance speech, he said it marked a generational shift. as the first ship bringing aid to gaza unloads its supplies, the us and un renew warnings about an israeli offensive in rafah, saying a ground assault would be a 'humanitarian catastrophe'. and vandalism arrests in russia as voters spoil their ballots on day two of the country's presidential elections. hello, i'm richard preston. a very warm welcome to the programme. much more to come in all of those stories but sport first and for a full round—up from the bbc

sport thank you very much it is the decisive day in rugby's six nations at both ends of the table. while ireland are strong favourites to win back to back titles, the tournament's notorious wooden spoon has gone to wales for the first time since 2003. it is approaching half—time at the aviva stadium and ireland have a one—point lead over scotland, seven points to six, just a few minutes to go to hit half time there. the tournament's notorious wooden spoon has gone to wales for the first time since 2003. they lost their fifth game out of five to finish bottom of the table. italy winning 24—21 in cardiff. it's the first time the italians haven't ended up last in the standings in nine years. with tries from monty ioane and lorenzo pani helping them to a second win in a row, despite a considerable — if late — welsh rally.

if the first match is anything to go by, this fa cup quarterfinal weekend is going to be an entertaining one. championship side coventry are through to the semis for the first time since they won the trophy in 1987 after a dramatic 3—2 win over wolves at molineux. wolves had come from behind to lead to—1 going into injury time but coventry struck back to equalise in the 97th minute through ellis simms before they grabbed the winner in the tenth minute of injury time, coventry becoming the first team through to the final four. that should give — through to the final four. that should give everyone - through to the final four. twat should give everyone the confidence to kick on for the rest of the season in our league and hopefully we can try and get into the play—offs. there is some good teams at our level but we have just beaten at our level but we have just beaten a really good opponent, they have done brilliantly this year, gary has done brilliantly this year, gary has done a fantasticjob. we're just happy we managed to put on a performance to get us over the line

and go to wembley again, for the fourth time since i have been the club. :, , , , ., club. holders manchester city have 'ust club. holders manchester city have just started — club. holders manchester city have just started their— club. holders manchester city have just started their quarterfinal- just started their quarterfinal against newcastle united. the fa cup one of three trophies won back by city last year. just a few minutes gone, the score there is 0—0. in the premier league, fulham against spurs hasjust kicked off. just premier league, fulham against spurs has just kicked off. just a couple of minutes in that game, too, and it is 0—0 at craven cottage. luton town salvaged a point with a late equaliser against relegation rivals nottingham forest. luke perry's goal in the 89th minute ensured a share of the points at kenilworth road after chris wood had given forest the lead in the first half. luton remain in the relegation zone after that draw, three points behind forest who are currently in 17th place. burnley are now eight points away from safety after they won to—1

at home to brentford. they put themselves ahead with a penalty after brentford had a man sent off. it was made to for burnley before brentford pulled one back late on. bayern munich have taken a bite out of bayer leverkusen�*s a commanding lead in the bundesliga this saturday. bayer inla in la liga, the top two are playing on saturday. the top two are bothplaying on saturday. real madrid have a seven point lead over girona and they play first at 05asuna where they lead 2—1. girona have a trip to getafe later. the woman in the christian horner controversy has lodged an official complaint about his behaviour with formula 1's governing body the fia. bbc sport has learned the complainant — who accused red bull's team principal of inappropriate behaviour — has registered a grievance with the fia's ethics committee.

horner has always denied the accusations made against him. belgian sprinterjasper phillipsen has won cycling's first major one—day race of the season — milan—san remo. britain's tom pidcock had broken away to lead in the closing stages but was caught by the peloton with 200 metres to go. and in the sprint that resulted phillipsen won it by centimetres from australia's michael matthews in a photo finish for the biggest one—day race victory of his career. some breaking news and three people have been shot dead in a philadelphia suburb earlier on saturday morning. let's take a look at this map here. the incident happened in trenton in newjersey which sits on the newjersey— a philadelphia border. the suspect is on the loose following a carjacking.

local media and police have reported. lets take look at this live shot coming into us from trenton. we can see there is news crews and emergency personnel gathering on the scene there. police in the middle township which is just north of philadelphia confirmed earlier on their facebook page that shots had been fired in a nearby township. they said it had led several gunshot victims. police said it was unknown whether the shootings were targeted or random. they did identify a suspect, they said a 26—year—old homeless man known as andre gordon is the man they are seeking. they believe he is carrying an assault rifle and they described him as extremely dangerous. it has just gone 1:30pm local time in new jersey at the moment. local media have quoted police sources, they say that the suspect travelled in a stolen vehicle, killing two people

living in a home in the township before then going on to kill a third person in a nearby residence. they say he fled after carjacking another vehicle. in an update, middletown police say sources in trenton are advising that they have the vehicle but not the suspect. governorjosh shapiro urged people in the area to shelter in place. this isjust coming into us in the last few moments. just a reminder, these are live pictures from trenton of new jersey weather appears to have been some sort of shooting. three people at the moment seem to have been killed. we will bring you more on that story when we have it. vaughan gething will become europe's first black leader — after winning the welsh labour leadership election. the outgoing first minister, mark drakeford, will step down from the post next week. mr gething was born in zambia and is a former solicitor. in his acceptance speech, he highlighted the historic nature of his win.

let's take a listen. today, we turn a page in the book of our nation's history. a history that we write together. notjust because i have the honour of becoming the first black leader in any european country, but because a generational dial has jumped, too. devolution is not something i have had to get used to, or to apologise for. devolution, welsh solutions to welsh problems and opportunities, is in my blood. it is what i have always known through my adult political life. that's the same for a growing number of our citizens. i want us to use this moment as a starting point for a more confident march into the future. a march into the future on behalf of a generation that too often is being asked to pick up the pieces and the bill for those

who came before them. in wales it often takes the worst times to get the best out of us. in adversity, you can't match us. we will be there. fighting tooth and nailfor the impossible to happen, for the underdog, for the oppressed. when your back is against the wall, you want welsh people by your side. we will be there. let's have one of those welsh people by our sides now. joining me now is ruth mosalski, political editor at wale50nline. thanks for being with us, give us the political picture here. was vaughan gething the popular choice for labour in wales? the vaughan gething the popular choice for labour in wales?— for labour in wales? the two candidates — for labour in wales? the two candidates were _ for labour in wales? the two candidates were very - for labour in wales? the two candidates were very closely | candidates were very closely matched, vaughan gething and his co—contenderjeremy miles, were both very well known, both served in the cabinet under mark drakeford.

vaughan gething had the healthjob during the pandemic, they were both heavily involved in taking those daily press conferences that we have got used to. they both moved on to otherjobs, vaughan gething had the economyjob and jeremy miles economy job and jeremy miles education. economyjob and jeremy miles education. there wasn't a lot between them in terms of experience, there wasn't a lot between them in terms of policy when we got to see the manifestos. personality wise, most people will say there wasn't a lot there. what did seem to sort of change was that vaughan gething received a huge donation during his campaign full stop he received two £100,000 donations from a businessman. the controversy came because that businessman was convicted of environmental crimes and vaughan gething had placed in his manifesto to come down tougher on people who committed environmental offences. the difference i don't think came in terms of personality, policy, vaughan gething maintains he did nothing wrong in taking those donations and he declared them as he should, the money stock. he got

£200,000 in donations, jeremy miles had something in terms of 35,000. the context, when welsh labour won the 2021 senedd elections, they did it with this... super close. vaughan gething seems to have benefited from a cash injection but he got 51% of the vote, jeremy miles got 48.3%. there will be a little bit of hope in the jeremy there will be a little bit of hope in thejeremy miles camp that they did pretty well on a lot less money. i'm glad you brought up the money issue because it has had to push back from his political rivals, in particular the likes of the plaid cymru leader. that is difficult because plaid cymru work with labour on lots of issues, tell us more about some of the pushback that vaughan gething has had around this controversy?— controversy? yes, the opposition are in a really tricky _ controversy? yes, the opposition are in a really tricky position. _ controversy? yes, the opposition are in a really tricky position. the - in a really tricky position. the conservatives are the second party in the senedd, they're going to struggle to make a lot about this given what is going on in westminster and their own accusations of donations. with plaid

cymru, there is a cooperation agreement, so they do work together but their leader has come out strongly and said this raises some really serious questions about vaughan gething personally. it isn't unusual to hear the opposition saying that, what was slightly more unusual is the former first minister also said he had things to learn, was how carwynjones phrased it. it is quite unusual for politicians to come out on the record on what should be a celebratory day and make that point. it is going to be interesting what that means over the next few days when he starts looking at his new cabinet. {lila next few days when he starts looking at his new cabinet.— at his new cabinet. ok, political editor at wales _ at his new cabinet. ok, political editor at wales online, - at his new cabinet. ok, political editor at wales online, thank i at his new cabinet. ok, politicall editor at wales online, thank you very much been with us. there is much more on that story on the bbc news website, of course. leading doctors are warning that blood sugar monitors being promoted across social media are unnecessary for people who don't have diabetes, and in the most extreme cases could put some at risk of eating disorders. the devices are part of a trend for personalised nutrition, spearheaded by companies like zoe —

our health and disinformation reporter rachel schraer has been getting the details. blood glucose monitors like these have been used by people with diabetes for years. now, zoe is trying to bring them to people without the condition and you will find their trademark yellow logo everywhere, on social media, on bus stops and even branded yoghurt drinks in your local supermarket. but the health technology company is just one of several selling the promise of personalised diet advice, clearly tailored to your individual body. zoe says this can help you lose weight and get healthy but dieticians and doctors have told the bbc they are concerned these types of programmes have elements that are not based on strong evidence. they could even be harmfulfor some people. so, how does market leader zoe�*s programme work? customers are given a gadget called a continuous glucose monitor to track what their blood sugar is doing. they're asked to wear it for two weeks and log everything they're eating. people doing the zoe programme

are also asked to eat a special cookie high in fat and sugar and then do a blood test to see how much of the fat and sugar ends up in their blood. and they send a stool sample to zoe to test the bacteria in their gut. blood sugar monitoring isn't the only thing zoe focuses on but it's probably the thing that is gained the most attention. they are recommended for many people with diabetes but what about for people without the condition? i've spoken to doctor partha kar, the nhs's national diabetes adviser. there is huge evidence that use those continuous glucose monitors in people do have have diabetes — type one diabetes, type two diabetes. the evidence base beyond that for people without diabetes is extremely sketchy, if not poor. you really run into the risk of creating a degree of eating disorder, so to speak — which we do see in some people — so i think it is important to bear that in mind and that is a worry. eating disorders are complex mental health conditions and there is no

evidence there is a widespread reaction to the programme. zoe says that coaches are trained to support people through issues like food anxiety and they take their customers' well—being seriously. they say coaches can refer people onto other services if they it's necessary. they also told us that... ..and is continuing to... ..to improve its product for its members. i've spoken to zoe�*s chief scientist sarah berry. we're building a good picture. yes, we don't have of the evidence but i think it would actually be irresponsible to wait 40 years until we see these hard clinical evidences, especially given the food landscape we now live in where there is an excess of the types of food that we know cause these big increases in circulated blood glucose and these big dips. diet specialists have told the bbc that the zoe programme contains plenty of sensible advice, like eating more whole foods

and plants, but it's hard to separate out the effective meal plans, online support and coaching from their bolder claims that zoe tests can predict your health and personalise your diets. these are less evidence—based, researchers say, and make it harder to know which bits of the programme should be recommended to the general population. rachel schraer there. several companies market the monitors in this way but zoe is the market leader. it says research is at an early stage but is "cutting edge". let's speak to dr federica amati, head nutritionist at zoe. thank you very much for being with us. i want to get your take on this. is this potentially health overkill for people who otherwise have no issues to be concerned about? weill. issues to be concerned about? well, the current — issues to be concerned about? well, the current situation _ issues to be concerned about? well, the current situation of— issues to be concerned about? well, the current situation of the - issues to be concerned about? -m the current situation of the health of the nation isn't great. i think anything we can do to help people take agency over their own health is really helpful and at zoe, we know that food is one of the greatest

tools we have to improve our health in the long term and that is what we really provide for our members, a way to harness the power of food to improve their health. the science that we do have, including the clinical trial due to be published in the coming weeks, shows actually our approach is more effective at improving health markers than generalised diet advice. we feel pretty strongly that we are helping over 100,000 members now, which overwhelmingly we have good results with, plus i were randomised clinical trial to show that it does actually give us better results than generalised advice. that actually give us better results than generalised advice.— generalised advice. that is really interesting _ generalised advice. that is really interesting about _ generalised advice. that is really interesting about your _ generalised advice. that is really interesting about your new - generalised advice. that is really i interesting about your new research coming out and the potential benefits to people's health. you are a private company, you talk about your members, people pay dues or services. do you wish that people could get this on the nhs? l services. do you wish that people could get this on the nhs? i mean, es, that could get this on the nhs? i mean, yes. that would _ could get this on the nhs? i mean, yes, that would be _ could get this on the nhs? i mean, yes, that would be amazing, - could get this on the nhs? i mean, yes, that would be amazing, just i yes, that would be amazing, just because we have seen how much of an impact it can have. a5 doctor sarah berry said in the interview, we are

continually evolving our product and we are looking at ways to make sure that this becomes more accessible in the future. but, ideally, yes. engaging with people to make sure that they can make positive dietary change that effectively and really quite quickly improves their health is something that we would love to see rolled out to millions of people, that is our goal. you talk about people _ people, that is our goal. you talk about people taking _ people, that is our goal. you talk about people taking personal - about people taking personal ownership for looking at the data and their health. that is really at the core of this because you can have all the data in your e—mail reports and on your smartphone app or whatever but ultimately, someone still has to make the conscious decision to not eat this type of food and to eat this type of food instead. do you find there are some people for whom zoe just doesn't work because there isn't that personal investment? {lit work because there isn't that personal investment? of course, we can't be perfect _ personal investment? of course, we can't be perfect for _ personal investment? of course, we can't be perfect for everyone. - personal investment? of course, we can't be perfect for everyone. that l can't be perfect for everyone. that would be almost i think that the interest in food and wanting to make

food change, dietary change, at home is growing and people are certainly becoming more aware, a lot of our time and company spends its time providing free health education through our zoe nutrition pod cast, through our zoe nutrition pod cast, through our zoe nutrition pod cast, through our free to access newsletters, health guides. all of these materials that we put out and are written and designed by a nutrition professional like myself and including myself, they are hopefully also helping those that may be can't engage with the app or perhaps they currently can't afford the product. we do try to provide lots of different ways to help people understand how important dietary change can be for overall health but also to start making those changes themselves even if they can't currently use the product or access the product.— or access the product. doctor federica. _ or access the product. doctor federica. very _ or access the product. doctor federica, very good - or access the product. doctor federica, very good to - or access the product. doctor federica, very good to take l or access the product. doctor i federica, very good to take your take on this. thank you for being with us. thank you for having me. the scottish national party leader has urged party members and delegates to make history

by voting out the conservatives in scotland at the next general election. speaking at the snp gathering in perth, humza yousaf said his party was second in each of the seven tory held seats in scotland and claimed it will be a straight fight between the two parties. delegates, this is a constituency that underlines the story of this year's election. a straight fight between the snp and the tories that i have no doubt that the snp is going to win. but the prize for scotland isn't just this constituency, we have the opportunity to ensure that scotland is tory free. here in the uk, technical glitches mean supermarket deliveries are suffering severe delays. supermarket sainsbury�*s says it will not be able to fulfil the "vast majority" of online deliveries today. customers have been contacting the supermarket on social media to report issues with their online orders. sainsbury�*s says it was caused

by an overnight software update and has apologised to customers. and another supermarket — tesco — says it's also working to fix a technical issue that has meant it has had to cancel some of its online orders that were due for delivery on saturday. so not a great day for supermarkets here in the uk. our business correspondent marc ashdown reports from cobham in surrey. well, sainsbury�*s is the uk's second largest supermarket chain with about 600 supermarkets and 800 convenience stores. 0nline shopping, of course, has become a very popular way to get that weekly shop. and this morning, sainsbury�*s wrote to customers saying it wouldn't be able to deliver the vast majority, it said, of online orders. it blamed technical issues, namely a software update that took place overnight. that seems to have affected things. cue an outpouring, of course, of frustration on social media platforms from disgruntled customers who couldn't get their orders. it prompted the ceo, simon roberts, to write to all customers apologising. he said if orders had been cancelled, customers wouldn't be charged.

also said they'd receive an e—voucher in their online wallets and should be able to reorder for delivery from tomorrow. now separately, tesco, the largest supermarket chain in the uk, reported this afternoon. it too was having to fix some technical issues with online orders. it also apologised to customers for any inconvenience. it does seem like sainsbury�*s had a far bigger issue. they also had some problems with physical stores like this one, disruption to click and collect and customers unable to pay using contactless — touching your card. although sainsbury�*s did confirm people have been able to use chip and pin and of course cash all day long. sainsbury�*s of course also owns argos. that's had the same sorts of problems. the supermarket giant does say it is working as hard as possible to fix these issues and get back to business as usual as soon as possible. marc ashdown there.

more than 75 billion blocks of lego are sold every year — but it's notjust for kids. artist nathan sawaya has been creating large pieces of art which are now on display at an exhibition in east london. nathan told us what inspired him. i use lego bricks for two reasons. one, i think aesthetically there's something there. i like the distinct lines, the sharp corners on all those rectangular pieces. when you see my work up close, you're going to see all these right angles, these blocks and squares and rectangles, but then you back away from it and all those sharp corners, they blend into curves. and i think that's the magic of using lego bricks. i'm nathan sawaya, and i'm an artist who uses lego bricks. there are no limits to what can be built with this toy. so it's great as a toy that's also great as an art medium. for that very same reason, i can use it to create whatever i can imagine.

i think lego is one of those unique products that really spans the test of time. and i feel it's a great way to talk to, say, younger kids. how do you talk to a five—year—old about the venus de milo? well, maybe if it's made out of a medium they're familiar with, like lego bricks, it kind of opens the door to that conversation. a life—sized human form is going to take me up to two to three weeks to complete, and i'm using anywhere from 15,000 to 25,000 lego bricks. so in this exhibition, there's over 100 works of art, and it really covers the breadth of my career. you'll see some works that are very simplistic from early on, and as you travel through the exhibition, you'll see more works that are more complex as i grew as an artist. and there's even a dinosaur skeleton that's over 20 feet long, so there's a lot to see. there's probably something for the whole family. as an artist, i think my role is to inspire others. and so when folks walk through the exhibition, they're inspired

to explore their own creativity. so we have a place at the end of the exhibition where kids can dive into some lego bricks and create their own creations. the exhibition will be here for a few months at the boiler house. very excited to see what the people of london think of it. finally go back to you, the modes they used to make lego are accurate to within 2000th of a millimetre. much more still to come on the bbc including our top story, the russian presidential lectures and those aid deliveries to gaza. don't go anywhere, see you soon, bye—bye. tomorrow is going to be a warmer day. today felt a lot chillier across south—eastern parts of the country, but we have all seen the cloud increasing and there has been some rain and drizzle in the air as well. low pressure is staying probably out to the west,

but well ahead of it, this cloud is getting thrown our way, and these weather fronts will bring the wetter weather and that is pushing east. it will clear away from northern areas overnight, but across england and wales, coming up from the south—west, we will see rain developing more widely by the early hours. not welcome rain by any means. eight or nine celsius, but where the cloud breaks later in northern scotland, temperatures down to three orfour celsius. unlike today, tomorrow is going to be an improving picture, where we will see the rain clearing, sunshine coming through and that could lead to a few showers here and there. the rain should not last too long in wales, but you can expect a wet start in the midlands first thing. the cloud will then break, sunny spells will develop, leading to a few showers, mainly for the northern half of the uk. the winds will be quite light and it will be a warmer day. compared with today temperatures will be three orfour degrees higher. in the milder air on sunday night, a couple of weakening weather fronts

moving in from the west. they won't bring much rain at all. that's the extent of any cloud and rain early on monday. that moves away, and we will see some sunshine coming through. then the next weather system arrives out in the west, northern ireland, strengthening the winds through the irish sea and into western most parts of scotland. it is a southerly wind, hence those higher than normal temperatures, peaking at 15 or 16 celsius. the wind is coming from a long way south, hence those higher temperatures. but the potentialfor more rain. this area of low pressure is going to track north and it will take the rain overnight across the northern half of the uk, and then clear away north on tuesday. following that there will be a few showers, but then it will dry up with some sunshine. still some rain hanging on in the south and south—west. those temperatures not

changing much, 13—16 c.

live from london — this is bbc news. the brother of diana, princess of wales, tells the bbc about how he and his sister were punished violently as children by one of their nannies. i don't think we realised that that was wrong. we knew it was painful and we knew it was something we wanted to avoid,

but i think children don't know morality necessarily at that stage. as the first ship bringing aid to gaza unloads its supplies, the us and un renew warnings about an israeli offensive in rafah. three people have been killed in a shooting in philadelphia following an alleged carjacking incident. vaughan gething is set to succeed mark drakeford as the first minister of wales — making him the first black leader of a any european country. hello, i'm anjana gadgil. we start with some breaking news. princess diana's brother, charles spencer, has told the bbc that he and his sister suffered violent punishments at home by a nanny referred to as "nanny forster". he said the punishments were "painful", and "really hurt",

adding that violence against children damages them, "whatever family they are born into".
