hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. thejohn lewis group publishes questions for alljob levels on its website, in an attempt to make the process fairer. applying for a newjob can be a stressful time — afterfinding a vacancy and preparing an application, the interview process can add another layer of anxiety. so what if some of that could be removed? john lewis supermarkets says it'll now show applicants the questions they're likely to be asked ahead of any interview they take, in an attempt to make the process fairer. the department and supermarket chain has published questions for alljob levels — from customer assistants to directors — on its website in an attempt to make the process fairer, widening the recruitment pool.

i'm joined by tab ahmed, the founder and ceo of employability — a not—for—profit organisation that gives advise to companies on making their workplaces more accessible to neurodivergent staff. what to make of this because on one hand,it what to make of this because on one hand, it makes the process a bit more democratic and to answer those questions if you get nervous or if you are not very good under pressure, it gives you a bit of a head start but doesn't help everybody? fix, head start but doesn't help everybody?— head start but doesn't help eve bod 7�* , , ., ., everybody? a very good question, and not a precise — everybody? a very good question, and not a precise science, _ everybody? a very good question, and not a precise science, it's _ everybody? a very good question, and not a precise science, it's not - not a precise science, it's not the best for those who get the job and really good at showcasing their skills and competencies when it comes to the experiences and in terms of the disability, what is important is we not thinking of using a blanket approach, we are to think about the individual

adjustments that may be helpful to some if you have a disability or neuro— divergence and related think this move will helpful to some with disabilities, perhaps not all, there might be some people are really good at regurgitating those really convincingly and there might be others and those mental health conditions and much more challenging and i know thatjohn lewis went a little bit further saying they'll be trying to make sure people were just saying this because they got a phone chat she bt and asking more questions and for more applicants —— pinkerton that we are much more challenging and i say that it may be helpful that a few weeks out from my perspective, whether this blanket approach is going to be the best one to take up. for

it comes with neuro— divergence is making sure that you're asking the applicants if they need to make adjustments that need to be put into place enable them to showcase their skills and competencies effectively that should be asked every step of the journey of a person should be given every opportunity to answer that should be made really clear to applicants that the address for adjustments that that is not going to go against them because the worry that applicants have, i think lots of different tools need to be used think employees must really look at their programme processes and barriers take steps to remove those and ask that all important question about what adjustments do you need. thank you. and also to matthew and shannon. two of the most valuable items ever recovered from the titanic are coming up for auction in wiltshire tomorrow. they're a violin case and a pocket watch belonging to two

of the most significant people who perished during the tragedy. each item is expected to fetch more than a hundred and twenty thousand pounds at an auction house in devizes. duncan kennedy has this report. it was supposed to be the defining standard of nautical opulence. the titanic — totemic of a new era of human achievement. but on the night of april 14th 1912, the ship hit an iceberg in the north atlantic and sank. more than 1,500 people died. now, two of the most valuable personal items ever recovered from the disaster are coming to auction — a bag and a watch belonging to two people whose stories have become fables from that fateful night. the james cameron movie titanic... hey, astor! depicts both men. well, hello, molly.

jothacob astor, the wealthiest man on board and one of the richest in the world, and wallace hartley, the violin player who bravely led the orchestra to calm passengers' nerves as the vessel floundered, each man central to the film's narrative of bravery and loss. in real life, both hartley and astor died that night, their bodies and their possessions recovered in the aftermath. you've got the bag and the watch? correct. andrew aldridge, a world expert on the titanic, says hartley possibly tried to use his violin case and its straps as a flotation device, but it came to nothing, whilst jj astor's 14—carat gold pocket watch was discovered amongst his personal effects in the days after the tragedy. why is there this continuing public obsession and interest in all things to do with the titanic? i honestly think it's to do with the people. she transcends so many different levels. we're fascinated in her

because of who was on board. you could argue that titanic is the most famous ship that's ever sailed, apart from the ark. so what might they fetch at the auction? well, the estimated price on the bag is £120,000. and for the watch, it's £150,000, and just shows the continued interest areas in all things titanic. wallace hartley's violin itself was sold separately in 2013 for £1 million. it's now on display at the titanic museum in belfast. tomorrow's auction, streamed live, will attract bidders from around the world, ready to spend as they save these unique items from a ship enshrined in maritime folklore. duncan kennedy, bbc news. why are we still so obsessed with something that happened in 1912? i

had a such a dignified one talking about the greatest generation. i'm talking about the greatest game in the national football league and its american football, they had to draft last night and it runs for several nights played last night was the first so, this is the best of the best and this was a true television event. you get all the suspense of watching a team deliberate who they're going to draft into the next years roster. running clock going in commissioner of the nfl says the atlanta falcons of selected a new player in the camera cuts to the families and the families are jumping up and cheering the player puts on the hat and puts on the jersey and sister real good feel good event but there are a lot of surprises that can happen about what a team selects this, the most american thing i've seen in this format. the most american thing is

the big shocker last night was a young man coming out of the university of washington named michael pinkettjunior and he was drafted eighth overall and was expected to go on the first round and that is because during his couege and that is because during his college career, he had four separate season ending injuries but came back last season, took his team all the way to the championship and he was drafted last night in the state overall for the atlanta falcons. victory over the odds in a different way, so good at you with us on the panel tonight thank you. much more on those stories on the bbc website. thanks for watching.

as it stands, leicester city will be promoted back up to the premier league tonight, that's because their nearest challengers leeds united are losing heavily to queens park rangers, in the friday night championship game leeds really needed the three points here —

to keep pace at the top, for their own promotion chances. ilias chair, lucas anderson here, and lyndon dykes and sam fieldf with the qpr goals, which secures their safety in the division. ipswich can move above leeds into the automatic promotion spots, with a win tomorrow. liverpool have agreed compensation with feyernoord to make arne slot their new manager. slot take overfrom jurgen klopp at anfield. the departing liverpool boss is excited for the dutchman to take what he calls "the bestjob in the world". i like the way his team play football. i can say definitely all the things i hear about him as a guy, good guy, some people i know know him, i don't know him yet but some people tell me he is a really good guy and i like that a lot. so good coach, good guy, looking forward to it if he is the solution, i am more than happy, it is not up to me. it sounds all really good. premier league chief executive richard masters has admitted var needs to improve for the sake of the fans. masters was speaking at the european leagues general assembly, held today in london and said they want to improve the situation for supporters — but gave his backing to the officials in england's top flight. i would say the words in support of the referees, i think you do a really good job and the system needs to improve and part of that is

getting the rules to be upgraded so there's more space to communicate with the fans and all that is good and i want to improve the situation. in rugby league, catalans dragons have missed the chance to go back to the top of the super league. they were beaten away at leigh leopards. umyla hanley amongst the scorers, with his sixth league try of the season here. so st helens, who beat huddersfield giants last night, remain top on points difference. the women's six nations will be decided tomorrow in a winner—takes—all game between england and france in bordeaux. england haven't lost in the tournament for 28 games — and that was to france back in 2018. but they'll face a french side unbeaten this year, with the ability to stop a sixth successive title for the red roses. we are all striving to be the best in our positions and number one in the world and currently in the rankings, that is where we see it but we still have our own personal goals in 2025 is just around the corner and we cannot take her eyes off the ball and have a grand slam.

corner and we cannot take our eyes off the ball and have a grand slam. david gilbert is the first man through to the quarterfinals of the world snooker championship. after a 13—4 victory over robert milkins. it was a tough day for milkins who showed his frustrations by throwing his cue to the floor, after missing a red, he found himself 12—4 behind going into the final session. and gilbert wrapped up victory to book his spot in the last eight — where he will face either shaun murphy or stephen maguire. i was a bit edgy going into my first qualifying round game against david, because i haven't played a match for such a long time because i pulled out of china, and by last match i played in wales was an absolute howler, you know, so ijust wanted to put the cue away and never play again kind of thing. but once i got here, you know, out there you either sink or swim, today i felt like i could swim. at the madrid open in tennis — katie boulter�*s tournament is over, as she was beaten in the second round by american wild card robin montgomery. boulter took the first set in style, and looked in control against her 19—year—old opponent, who hit back to take the second set 6—3.

in the decider, boulter saved four match points, but eventually went down 6—4. montgomery, the world number 183 through to the next round. as it stands, leicester city will be promoted back up to the premier league tonight, that's because their nearest challengers leeds united are losing heavily to queens park rangers, in the friday night championship game. leeds really needed the three points here — to keep pace at the top, for their own promotion chances. ilias chair, lucas anderson here. lyndon dykes and sam fieldf with the qpr goals, which secures their safety in the division. ipswich can move above leeds into the automatic promotion spots, with a win tomorrow. and that's all the sport for now.

hello there. one thing that's been in quite short supply this month is sunshine. so i'm sure these sunny skies that we have through friday morning would have been welcomed. but it was a cold start for some. cumbria had temperatures down as low as minus six degrees celsius. and through the afternoon, we did see quite a few showers develop, as you can see here on the afternoon radar picture. some of those showers worked into cornwall. you can see quite big thunderclouds here on the horizon of helston. now, during this evening and overnight, we got outbreaks of rain moving into southern england, perhaps reaching the far south of wales. a few showers for northern scotland, but otherwise the day showers will melt away. clear skies for scotland, northern ireland and northern england will allow another widespread and sharp frost. in the south, it's frost free because we've got that cloud and rain moving in. and this weekend we are going to see this area of low pressure move up from spain, bringing with it some quite heavy rain for a time. now, on saturday, we'll get some rain pushing into southern england early in the morning, reaching across parts of wales

into the midlands and east anglia. as that moves in, there'll be a chilly northeasterly wind, perhaps a few heavy showers into southern england into the afternoon. for northern ireland, northern england and scotland, after a cold and frosty start, there'll be some sunshine, but showers will be around into the afternoon and it's going to be another chilly day — temperatures 10—13 degrees. for sunday, our area of low pressure moves in from spain, bringing rain across quite large areas of england, working into east and scotland. west is best. that's where we'll see the driest weather. not completely dry, though. it will be a day of sunshine and showers out west — temperatures 10—13 degrees. so it's another chilly day. but this is the last of the chilly days. as we head into next week, we're going to see temperatures rise as much milder air gets pulled

in from europe. but with low pressures around about the uk, it's not exactly going to be a dry forecast. on monday, we start to see some of that milder air arrive on these southerly winds. outbreaks of rain, though, pretty extensive, probably the wettest weather for northern ireland, probably south western parts of england and wales seeing rain, eastern areas this time seeing the driest weather. but these temperatures are rising and climbing back to average for this time of the year, and that warming trend continues into next week. in the warmest spots, we could see temperatures reach the high teens or even low 20s, but there will be some showers or outbreaks of rain around as well. bye for now.
