The life and legacy of Pope Francis ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OT2U...
More than 150,000 people from all over the world have viewed Pope Francis’s body as the Vatican makes the final preparations for his funeral on Saturday, an event that will be attended by 50 heads of state and 10 monarchs.
St Peter’s Basilica closed at 2.30am on Friday and reopened three hours later to accommodate the last of the huge crowds of mourners who had waited patiently to pay their respects to Francis, who died at the age of 88 on Monday after a stroke. The basilica is scheduled to close at 7pm and the pope’s coffin will be sealed at 8pm in a private ceremony attended by senior cardinals.
Many of the funeral guests, including the US president, Donald Trump, and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, will arrive in Rome on Friday. Trump and his wife, Melania, are due to arrive on Air Force One at Fiumicino airport at 10.50pm local time.

How we get tree planting wrong ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhvOJ...
The Forestry Commission has started an investigation into the controversial felling of an ancient oak near a Toby Carvery car park in north London amid new questions about ownership of the land on which it stood.
The investigation was announced by the junior environment minister Sue Hayman, who said the felling of the 500-year-old tree in Enfield earlier this month was “horrifying”.

Do cyclists think they're above the law, and does it even matter? ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBP2L...
Cyclists who kill pedestrians by dangerous cycling could face life imprisonment in England and Wales under new amendments to the crime and policing bill.
The offence of causing death by dangerous cycling would be brought into line with driving laws under amendments tabled on Thursday, the Department for Transport said.

Welfare cuts: 'A new war on disabled people in the UK' ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYFUv...
A £5bn programme of disability benefits cuts planned by the UK government will disproportionately hit people living in Wales and northern England “entrenching deprivation”, according to new analysis.
The consultancy Policy in Practice has looked at how the proposed changes would affect individual regions and local authorities, and found the impact across the UK starkly uneven.
The research shows that north-east England, north-west England and Wales would be the hardest hit, suffering three times the economic impact and with twice as many affected residents as London and the south-east.

How children with special educational needs are being failed ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K21bE...
Nigel Farage has claimed that doctors are “massively over-diagnosing” children with special educational needs and disabilities (Send) and mental health conditions.
Asked at a press conference in Dover about the rising number of children diagnosed with Send, and what could be done to help them, Farage replied:
"It’s a massive problem. I have to say, for my own money, when you get to 18 and you put somebody on a disability register, unemployed, with a high level of benefits, you’re telling people aged 18 that they’re that they’re victims. And if you are told you’re a victim, and you think you’re a victim, you are likely to stay [a victim].
"So many of these diagnoses, for Send before 18, for disability register after 18 – so many of these have been conducted on Zoom, with the family GP.
"I think that is a massive mistake. I think you’re the family GP, and I’ve know your family for generations, and you’re saying to me there’s a real problem here with depression, or whatever it may be, it’s quite hard for me as your GP to say no.
"I don’t think any of these allocations should be done by family GPs. I think should be done independently.
"And I think we are massively – I’m not being heartless, I’m being frank – I think we are massively over-diagnosing those with mental illness problems and those with other general behavioural disabilities. And I think we’re creating class of victims in Britain that will struggle ever to get out of it."

Watch: Human or AI ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1Wfx...
Social media and other internet platforms will be legally required to block children’s access to harmful content from July or face large fines, Ofcom has announced.
Tech firms will have to apply the measures by 25 July or risk fines – and in extreme cases being shut down – under the UK’s Online Safety Act.
The communications watchdog published more than 40 measures on Monday covering sites and apps used by children, ranging from social media to search and gaming.

Watch: Atomic secrets ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVPQJ...
At least nine people have been killed and more than 70 injured in Kyiv after Russia carried out one of the most devastating air attacks against Ukraine for months, with Kharkiv and other cities also targeted.
Waves of drones as well as ballistic and guided missiles struck the Ukrainian capital early on Thursday. There were explosions for much of the night, beginning at about 1am local time, and the rattle of anti-aircraft fire as Ukrainian defences tried to shoot the missiles down.
Kyiv’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko, said rescuers were pulling survivors from under the rubble. The injured included six children and a pregnant woman. A house, cars, and other buildings were set on fire, with extensive damage caused by falling debris in several districts, he said.

From anxious children unable to cope with school to those with more complex, profound disabilities, England’s support for Send children is broken, with underfunded local authorities weaponising time in order to avoid legal obligations to support families and increasing numbers of parents unable to work, burnt out, judged and even suffering PTSD through attempting to navigate the system. @theGuardian meets parents and children from across the country, to get a sense of the scale of the issue
