much that can be done about that. just under 15% of people in england smoke. that's the lowest figure since records began but it is still higher than in sweden where adult figures put it at just 5%. this is because of a harm reduction, the snus tobacco that you press against your gum. it is widely used in sweden and as a result they have low lung cancer rates. but because is banned in the eu, we cannot follow and we could follow and save tens of thousands of lives if we were to legalise this technology when we leave the eu at the end of next week. no tobacco product is safe to consume due to its links to cancers. and snus is banned, as he rightly says, under the tobacco products directive is in all countries except in sweden. we have made an agreement under the tobacco control plan that the government will consider reviewing the position on snus and whether the introduction to the uk market will promote the kind of proportionate harm reduction that he proposes however i would make the point that there is no evidence that snus in sweden has reduced smoking rate so this is under

england's euro 2020 win over montenegro just last month. now rose has told the bbc he can't wait to see the back of football. i've had enough, ijust think that i've had enough, ijust think that i've got a few more years in football and i can't wait to see the back of it, seeing how nothing is donein back of it, seeing how nothing is done in the game at the minute, i just want to enjoy football as much asi just want to enjoy football as much as i can, and there's so many politics and i can't wait to see the back of it to be honest. strong words from danny rose there, but perhaps this is why. just some examples of racist abuse aimed at black footballers this season. back in december a spurs supporter was fined and handed a four—year football ban for throwing a banana skin at arsenal's pierre—emerick aubameyang during a derby match at the emirates stadium. that incident during england's 2020 qualifying win over montenegro last month, when raheem sterling took to twitter and instagram in response to racial abuse he and his team mates had received. the most recent of course, just this week,

england and wales have risen to record levels. last year nearly 41,000 offences were recorded by police, a 6% increase on 2017. the figures — published by the office for national statistics — show there were more than 730 cases of murder and manslaughter. that's the highest number for a decade. but the likelihood of being a victim of violent crime is at its lowest level ever as our home editor mark easton explains. it is a horribly familiar scene. another teenager stabbed to death last night in birmingham, as homicide figures for england and wales hit a ten—year high, and knife offences recorded by police reach record levels. the sense is that violence is rising in england and wales, but let's look at the bigger picture. homicide is up, a 10—year high, but this graph suggests it is too early to say that society is becoming more violent. 0verall figures for violent crime show actually a huge fall since the mid—‘90s. the chances of being a victim of violence then were 110 in 1,000. now, the lowest ever, 29. figures for offences involving a knife recorded by police are at their hi

england's world cup plans after an off—field incident led to him being suspended. the batsman has been withdrawn from all international squads, including their preliminary is—man party for the tournament which starts at the end of may. in a statement ecb managing director ashley giles said: well lets get more on this now from former cricketer and broadcaster isabelle westbury. this is a significant step for them to take. absently, with the world cup less than a month away he is a prolific batter. he gave up red ball cricket to concentrate on white ball cricket to concentrate on white ball cricket and it is a big coal and for england's sake i hope it is the right one. for a player like alex ales who has been a key component in the rankings, how much would he be missed? he probably wasn't in the starting 11 but as a back—up battery, we had a couple of injuries already, possibly not if everyone stays fit but i think he is scored some brilliant centuries in the past. and a mark of england's improvement i imagine as they can think about doing without him, given how things have changed a

here this evening. then another pulse of rain moving up across south—west england and wales. given all the cloud and patchy outbreaks of rain in the west it's not desperately cold, 5—7dc, with clearer skies further east, that's where the coolest air will be. looking at the weather picture tomorrow our area of low pressure has moved further westwards and we are starting to get winds from the continent and that will boost temperatures. it will begin to turn less cold. that said, we still have cloud and rain around affecting northern ireland, wales and south—west england at times. the brightest weather the further north and east, probably decent sunshine in scotland. temperatures up to 11! degrees in edinburgh and london, so feeling quite a bit better than today and we've lost the chilly winds as well. on into the weekend we've got quite a mixed picture of whether, often quite cloudy, there will be some bright spells particularly across western parts of the country, but also some rain around at times. temperatures a bit milder. here's a saturday's weather picture. across eastern areas

yesterday, though, across the south—east of england and east anglia. it was fairly thin, that has certainly broken up and we've got some clearer skies right now. but further west, though, we're going to find this weather front sneaking in. it's going to bring some patchy rain and drizzle but it's moving very slowly eastwards into that area of high pressure. so for many parts it's still dry by the morning. temperatures in the clearer skies dipping away to 3—5 degrees. let's head into the morning, then. we pick up the story across scotland. some sunshine for northern and perhaps eastern scotland. a bit of patchy rain coming into the far west of scotland. still, this rain continuing on and off in northern ireland as it has done through the night. for england and wales, though, we are yet to see any rain crossing the irish sea, so it should be a dry start. some sunshine, some mist and fog patches across eastern england, those shouldn't last too long and we should see decent spells of sunshine. more sunshine towards the south—east than we had on monday. you can see how slowly this

mentally and i hope i do my best. now to cricket where alex hales has been removed from england's provisional world cup squad, all but ending his chances of playing at the tournament starting in a months time. last week a spokesman for the batsmen confirmed he'd been suspended following an ‘off field' incident. the ecb said his withdrawal is in the best interests of the team, to ensure they're free from any distractions. it's not the first suspension hales has faced, last year the ecb handed down a punishment following a fight outside a nightclub in the south west english city of bristol. the nhl, the philadelphia 76ers are leading 411—26 at toronto in the second quarter. it is level at one — one. until next time, i buy. ——by by. hello there. over the next few days the warmest weather is likely to be across more eastern parts of the uk, where we see the best of the sunshine. there was more cloud around yesterday across the south—east of england and east anglia. it was fairly thin. that has certainly broken up and we've got some clearer skies right now. further west we'

well. and this was the scene, actually, in the north—west of england where it was quite a bit cooler thanks to that rain and drizzle and low cloud. but we had a taste of things to come in cornwall. the sun was out and it was a good deal warmer as well. and we're going to find more sunshine more widely as we into the easter weekend. and as a result it will be turning warmer everywhere. now, still some cloud on the scene. this cloud is heading towards iberia to bring some cooler, wetter weather. this cloud brought the rain and drizzle earlier on. that it is tending to peter out all the while. it's a little bit damp across western scotland. further south, clearing skies means some mist and fog forming in wales, the midlands, and parts of southern england. that will take a little while to clear away in the morning. the drizzle won't last long in western scotland. the cloud breaks, the sunshine develops more widely. but we could bubble up a bit of cloud from east anglia towards the pennines and maybe squeeze out an isolated late shower. on the whole, it's a dry and a warm afternoon, with

. tuesday was still cold and grey and wet at times across southern england, and it will be southern england that sees the biggest change in the weather really, i think, for wednesday because the cloud that was sitting there, bringing some rain at times, is finally moving its way out into the english channel. still a bit of cloud, along parts of the south coast, devon, cornwall and dorset, otherwise dry. clear skies further north, the winds lighter, it will mean we're more likely to have a frost. temperatures down to —2, —3. it will warm up to a certain extent on wednesday in the sunshine, the cloud moves away from the south—west, we'll keep one or two showers for a while in the channel islands, otherwise a dry day. a bit of fairweather cloud building up in north—east england, over the pennines. and a noticeable wind down the eastern side of england, especially in the south—east, willjust add to the chill, but at least the sunshine will be out, still only nine degrees along those north sea coasts. further west, highs of 12 or 13 celsius. those temperatures will fall away in
