why britain's most successful female olympian is calling it a day. you're never going to have a perfect time to do it, but i can sit here today and say now is the right time for me. 15 years after the university chef claudia lawrence disappeared, her mother tells us of her agony. it's been a sentence, a 15—year sentence. it's like somebody having an illness for 15 years. and is it or isn't it a banksy? after much speculation, the elusive street artist confirms he did create this new mural in north london. and coming up on bbc news, we hear more from laura kenny, as britain's most successful female olympian says now is the right time to retire from cycling.

fear. i think fear among conservative mps of a general election defeat is what is fuelling the speculation. the mood among conservative mps this morning is really bleak. it has certainly got a lot bleaker really bleak. it has certainly got a lot blea ker last really bleak. it has certainly got a lot bleaker last week as well. why? well, there were a couple of big events last week, the decision from lee anderson, the former conservative mp, tojoin reform, the party where the conservatives are losing some votes to the right. also the big row over donations by frank hester to the conservative party. but underpinning all of that is a bigger concern for the conservative mps, which is the opinion polls, which poll after poll showed the conservatives going down to the labour party by a very large margin at that general election, whenever it comes. even some conservative mps who think that they are likely to lose to labour at that election had thought that the margin between them and labour in those polls would have narrowed by now, and it hasn't. that

is fuelling some of these concerns, some of these jitters, some of that speculation. around rishi sunak, people are telling conservative mps to hold their nerve. the mood could change fast. the rwanda bill could be on the statute books by the end of this week. inflation might be coming down in statistics released on wednesday. after that, mps go back to their constituencies for a few weeks. they were here what the voters think of rishi sunak. that could change what happens next as well. , ' ., dame laura kenny, britain's most successful female olympian, has decided to retire from cycling. she won five olympic golds and seven world championship titles in an extraordinary career on the track. dame laura had been targeting a fourth olympics in paris this summer, but changed her mind after the birth of her second child in july. joe lynskey has this report. london in the summer of 2012, a 20—year—old cyclist made her olympic introduction. commentator: the gold medal is going to go to laura trott -

and i can't believe it! two golds at a home games were just the start of the ride. laura trott would become britain's most successful female olympian. in 2016, she became laura kenny. 12 years at the top brought her five olympic titles. now she says she's crossed the line for the final time. so i have decided that i'm going to retire from professional cycling. i know. big, eh? i always knew deep down that i would know when was the right time. and you're never going to have a perfect time to do it. but i can sit here today and say, now is the right time for me. i've just had an absolute blast, but now is the time for me to hang that bike up. at the last olympics, kenny found a way to do it all. she'd given birth to albie in 2017 and yet came back to ride in tokyo and won gold in the madison. since then, she's faced personal trauma, speaking openly about miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy. last year, the kennys

had their second son, monty, and the balance laura struck between elite sport and motherhood has changed. just the sacrifices of leaving your children and your family at home is really quite big. and the more people asked me what races was i doing, what training camps was i going on, i didn't want to go, ultimately, and i think that's what it came down to. and then once i said to jase, "i don't think i want to ride a bike anymore" i started to feel relief then, to be totally honest. kenny's retirement is immediate. she won't compete this year in paris. instead, she'll watch and reflect on a track career that gripped a nation, a record haul of medals and that london summer. commentator: and look at the face here of young laura trott. _ joe lynskey, bbc news. our sports editor dan roanjoins me now from the national cycling centre in manchester. dan, how significant a moment

is this for olympic sport? i think since arriving here at the national velodrome in manchester some ia years ago, dame laura kenny has really established herself as a true british sporting legend, the most successful british female olympian of all time, but also the most successful female olympic cyclist anywhere on the planet. that is a measure of how much she achieved. this is a career that will be remembered for a whole host of elements, notjust the be remembered for a whole host of elements, not just the fact that as one of the faces of london 2012, she became a symbol of the way this sport, cycling, has been the driving force behind britain's emergence as an olympic town house, but also her bright and bubbly and down—to—earth personality which endeared her to millions. there was plenty of inspiration, asjoe was saying, in theissues inspiration, asjoe was saying, in the issues she spoke about, the challenges she had overcome and the fact that she has now prioritised family life over competing at the

highest levels of sport will strike a chord with many and she will gain more plaudits for that as well. it's not a huge surprise. british cycling is a few weeks ago that her chances of making the paris games were going to be slim, given the competition, but there is no doubt that it's the end of an era for this sport. dan roan, end of an era for this sport. dan roan. our— end of an era for this sport. dan roan, our sports _ end of an era for this sport. dan roan, our sports editor. there's been widespread condemnation from western governments and the eu over the outcome of russia's presidential election, which has been described as a sham. it resulted in vladimir putin winning a fifth term in office, with 87% of the vote. he thanked russians for their trust and support and vowed to make the war in ukraine one of his main priorities. his allies, including in china, welcomed the result. and there's full coverage of this story if you go to the bbc iplayer. a man has been arrested after two people were shot with crossbow bolts in linked attacks.

a manhunt has been under way since the incidents, which happened in shoreditch east london last week. greg mckenziejoins us from east london now, greg, what's the latest? well, the police were first called to this estate on the ath of march after a aa—year—old woman heading home from work was shot in the head with a crossbow bolt. that's a diet like projectile. it was her husband that heard her screams and came to her aid. a residence i have spoken to today initially thought this was a random attack, an accidental attack, and then only last thursday, attack, and then only last thursday, a second attack, a 20—year—old man, shotin a second attack, a 20—year—old man, shot in the neck. residents say they were petrified, and the many not coming out of their homes after dark. then the police confirmed this morning that they made an arrest, a a7—year—old man arrested last night on suspicion of attempted murder. they say they have confiscated a

crossbow, and this individual had been arrested carrying a non—chukka and also a substance in a bottle. he is currently being questioned at an east london police station. greg mckenzie reporting. _ our top story this afternoon. the israeli army carry out another attack on gaza's biggest hospital. hamas have called the raid a war crime. coming up. has banksy struck again? it certainly seems so. they are bringing out the crowds here in north london. coming up on bbc news, wimbledon champion carlos alcaraz defends his indian wells title with a straight sets win over daniil medvedev. the win ends a title drought that stretched back to last summer's triumph at the all england club. the environmental group greenpeace could be thrown out of the un group that oversees deep sea

mining for minerals. greenpeace has been accused of disrupting a research expedition in the pacific, in a row over access to billions of dollars worth of minerals on the sea bed. greenpeace says mining has a negative impact on marine life, but mining companies say it's crucial for the transition to renewable energy. our climate editor, justin rowlatt reports. a research vessel is assessing the impact of mining on the seabed. protesters from greenpeace board the vessel, hampering the research, says the company. just another conflict between industry and activists? not in this case. the miners, like the greens, claim to be acting in the best interests of the planet. they say the metallic nodules they are after are crucial to the green transition and say hoovering them up is far less damaging than mining on land. this is what the miners are after. this is a polymetallic nodule.

they take millions of years to form and they contain cobalt, nickel, copper, manganese, all metals used in renewable technologies. the problem is getting hold of these destroys the creatures that live among them. there isn't much life in the deep oceans, but what scientists are learning is what there is far more diverse than was expected. but the deep ocean covers a0% of the surface of the earth. land is just 29%. the miners say they only want access to a tiny proportion. i understand why the greens are cautious, but on this occasion they've got it wrong. and let's go back to first principles. we should be carrying out extractive industries in parts of the planet where there is the least life, not the most life. mr barron says greenpeace's approach is anti—science. the activist group says protest isjustified because his company aims to press ahead with mining

before regulations have been agreed. there is so much science out there already which is urging extreme caution. 800 scientists more than have said we should not be transitioning right now to actually mining. we don't want to see licences coming forward. but they're not transitioning to mining, they're collecting evidence, right? you said yourself we need more science and then greenpeace is blocking the effort to get that science done, arent you? i think there's a big difference between tick box science by a company that has a clear commercial interest in the outcomes of that research and independent scientific research, which is helping us understand the complexity and the fragility of deep ocean environments. a decision about greenpeace's future with the international seabed authority will be made at the meeting injamaica. the un body says it aims to agree rules for mining by 2025. justin rowlatt, bbc news. the spending watchdog has warned that a low uptake of heat pumps is slowing progress on cutting emissions saying sales

will have to increase 11—fold if the government is to achieve its targets. ministers want to install 600,000 low—carbon heat pumps each year by 2028. the national audit office says the government must engage "every household" in the shift to clean heating. eight men have been sentenced for their part in disturbances last year outside a merseyside hotel that was housing asylum seekers. a protest outside the suites hotel kirkby last february descended into acts of violence, criminal damage, and disorder as fireworks, rocks and paving slabs were thrown at police officers and a police van set on fire. rowan bridge is at liverpool crown court. rowan, what's the latest on what's been said in court. yes, it was a highly charged atmosphere here in court this morning with the public gallery packed with your friends and family of those due to be sentenced. judge

anthony watts and qc described how what had been planned as a peaceful process over asylum seekers being housed in a hotel in knowsley descent into what he described as mob violence. a narrative to cold he said that asylum seekers were sex offenders and isis rapists. and the police were there to defend them. the scene descended into sustained attacks on police and asylum seekers with a being pelted with petrol bombs, rocks and pieces of concrete. three police officers were injured and a police van was looted and later burned out. one of those being sentenced today where part of the violence on that night. the youngest was 20, the oldest 61. they were sentenced to between 16 months and three and a half years in prison. there were gasps from the public gallery as a longer sentence was handed down to brian mcfadden, a 61, the oldest defender, given three and a half years. he was adhered to one asylum seekers not to leave the hotel or they would be killed. judge

anthony watson said the events of the night brought shame on the town of kirby, the borough of knowsley, and merseyside more generally. thank ou. councils in england say they are now spending an average of two thirds of their budget on vital services for adults and children. bbc panorama found that spending per head on children s services alone has risen by 77% in a decade. councils are calling for an honest discussion with the government about future funding, but ministers say they have already been given additional money. here's our social affairs editor, alison holt. morning, harley. it's 7:30 in the morning and 17—year—old harley is getting the school bus. his special educational needs mean he gets support from havering council in greater london. got that smile before you get off my bus. thank you. including getting him to and from college. for harley, obviously a lot of support around the physical. harley cannot transfer out of his wheelchair, so he needs people around him that are going to guide him

and keep him safe. we always have fun in the bus. but havering council has been fighting to stop itself going bust. it's planning cuts and savings, including to special needs transport. parents are angry. the transport is huge, because he wants to be as independent as he can. he's going to college. are we all in? fantastic. ijust like being on the bus with my mates. that's my life now. overfive months, bbc panorama has followed havering as it's tried to balance the needs of people like harley against the council's deep financial problems. the council leader is ray morgan of the residents' association. the problem is many people think, well, obviously council tax primarily went to pay for cleaning their streets, repairing their roads, providing libraries and making sure their parks were in good order, trees were maintained. but no, it's not. on average, councils in england now spend two thirds of their budgets on children's services

and adult social care. can we start with what your relationship is to the child? with analysis showing per head spending on children's services up by 77% in a decade. but the money havering gets from central government has reduced in real terms, and grants are calculated on the population they had more than a decade ago. since then, it's grown by 10%, or 25,000 people. we've been cutting back council services for the last decade or more now. the position is unsustainable. it's untenable. so we're not sticking our heads in the sand. we want people to listen, and we need a response. this is my letter to the minister. in early march, the government told havering it could borrow up to £5a million to avoid going bust. it says it's given local authorities extra funding, but they are responsible for their own finances. even with the loan, havering residents will find most cuts still go ahead, and more are likely to be needed.

alison holt, bbc news. you can watch panorama — paying more for less, councils in crisis — tonight on bbc one at 8pm and on the iplayer. two city traders who were jailed in 2015 over charges of conspiracy to defraud by rigging a major interest rate will find out today if they have won their appeal. tom hayes was jailed for 1a years and carlo palombo forfour years over the so—called libor rate scandal. the libor rate is considered to be one of the most important interest rates in finance, upon which trillions of financial contracts rest. the media regulator ofcom has ruled that the tv channel gb news broke the rules when it used sitting conservative mps to host its programmes. sirjacob rees—mogg, esther mcvey and philip davies all fronted shows in 2023. ofcom said using politicans in such a way meant the news programmes were not presented

with due impartiality. 15 years ago, claudia lawrence failed to turn up for work at york university where she was a chef. now, on the anniversary of her disappeareance, detectives are pleading for those with information about what happened to her to break their silence. police have carried out two investigations and questioned nine people, but no charges have ever been brought. graham satchell reports. what happened to claudia lawrence? her disappearance 15 years ago remains a mystery. she was last seen walking home from the university of york where she worked as a chef. that evening she sent a text message to her mum, and then nothing, no sightings, no calls. the search for the 35—year—old became one of the biggest ever carried out by north yorkshire police. they questioned nine people, but no charges have ever been brought. for claudia's family, not knowing what happened has been torture.

it's been a sentence. a 15—year sentence. it's like somebody having an illness for 15 years because that's what it is every year. every day's an illness that it's going on. i never would imagine it would be 15 years down the line. quite honestly, it's appalling. in 2021, police searched a lake and woods six miles from claudia's home, but again found nothing. detectives are treating her disappearance as suspected murder and today, 15 years on, have renewed their appeal for information. they remain convinced someone knows what happened to claudia lawrence. the single barrier to unlocking the answers for claudia's loved ones and bringing those responsible for her disappearance to justice remains the same in my view. and that's silence. silence from the people who know or may suspect what happened to claudia will have so far, for reasons that are only known to them, they're unable to come forward to the police. claudia's mum goes to church every day.

she continues to pray for answers. graham satchell, bbc news. in iceland, the latest volcanic eruption on the reykjanes peninsula is subsiding, but a state of emergency is still in force. the small town of grindavik has been evacuated, and so has the blue lagoon geothermal spa, one of the country's most popular tourist destinations. it's the fourth eruption since december. the death has been announced of the british born screenwriter david seidler, best known for his oscar and bafta—winning writing on the film, the king's speech. he was 86. the film starred colin firth and followed the true story of how king george vi overcame a speech impediment. now, after much speculation, the elusive street artist banksy has confirmed this mural that suddenly appeared on the side of a building in finsbury park in north london
