of information request, revealing a student that has accrued nearly £55,000 in interest alone. london's chelsea flower show has stunned visitors with its beautiful displays for years, but this year the organisers have got something special in store. for the first time, a "no adults allowed" garden — sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc round—up, from the bbc sport centre. the football association has defended the st george's cross design on its new england kit, following a row over the changes. nikee says the shirt includes a "playful update" to the cross from its traditional red to include purple and blue horizontal strips. both the prime minister and labour leader, sir keir starmer, have said the flag shouldn't be altered but the fa has responded by saying it's not the first time" different colours have been used, that it understands what the flag "means to fans" and that the new home kit was meant as a tribute to the 1966 world cup winning team".

the fa also says the st george's flag will be displayed prominently at wembley tomorrow — as it always is. england will be playing brazil. before that, tonight, northern ireland are away in romania whilst scotland also have a friendly, they're in amsterdam to face the netherlands. manager steve clarke says will be. we have a good camaraderie, within the squad. it's something that we've built over the last four and a half years. they understand that i can only pick 23 and they all try to show how they are in training which is fantastic because it drives the standard up and hopefully you see in the two games coming up that everybody has tried to show that they want to be part of the scotland's squad to go to germany in the summer.

leicester city have started legal proceedings against the premier league and english football league after being charged with allegedly breaking spending rules. the championship leaders said they were "compelled to act" after being charged with breaching profit and sustainability rules yesterday. if found guilty, the foxes could face a points deduction. england captain heather knight made a half—century as her side beat new zealand by 15 runs in the second t20 in nelson overnight to take a 2—0 lead in the five match series. england were really struggling after being put into bat and when bess heath was out they were 77 for six in the 14th over but knight — with support from the tail end — hit her way to an unbeaten 56 as england posted 149 for seven from their 20 overs. new zealand were always behind the required run rate against some steady england bowling. there were two wickets each for lauren bell and charlie dean as the hosts ended up 16 runs short of their target. now a glimmer of hope for the formula one drivers hoping to disrupt the dominance of three

time world champion, max verstappen, heading into this weekend's australian grand prix. verstappen missed the first 20 minutes of the second practice session earlier, after damaging the floor of his car, when he came off the track in first practice. that opened the door for ferrari's charles le clerc who topped the time sheet at the end of the session, with verstappen unable to get going. mercedes george russell was sixth quickest with lewis hamilton way back in eighteenth. judd trump is through to the semi—finals of the world open. the defending champion beat kyren wilson by five frames to two and will now play jackson page who beat elliot slessor, also by five frames to two. ding junhui and neil robertson are also through. more gold medal success to report for great britain from the para—cycling track world championships in rio. lizzi jordan and debutant pilot danni khan took gold in the women's tandem time?trial. meanwhile britain's archie atkinson claimed gold in the men's ca individual pursuit,
5:34 pm
producing an outstanding ride to defeat defending world champion kevin le cunff in rio. this is the last major event before the paris 2024 paralympics and after two days great britain are top of the medal table with four golds and four silvers. and that's all the sport for now. ijust want i just want to turn to a breaking story and news coming out of russia thatis story and news coming out of russia that is just been reported. some obvious caveats but to the reuters news agency and the task reporting that russian media outlets are reporting a shooting in a concert hall in moscow where just some of the early details, let me take you through it. people apparently being evacuated, there are reports that three people in camouflage opened fire and there are people reported
5:35 pm
to have been wounded, there also reports that a fire has broken out in that city hall in moscow where the shooting apparently took place, police are just heading to the place of the shooting in moscow. these are very early reports, not very much other detail, but certainly reports of a shooting, there is also a report from writers talking about a explosion as well. —— reuters. we'll keep across that and bring you updated reports as they come into us, but certainly reports in the media there of apparently people firing at people inside that concert hall with the injuries, with an evacuation taking place and police now heading to that location. so we'll keep an eye on that and as i say, we will return to that story in the next couple of minutes.

comments to the metropolitan police who in turn passed it on to west yorkshire police were frank hester�*s company, the tech health tpp is based in leeds, and they said today they are trying to ascertain whether or not a crime had been committed and they are asking people to come forward with information that might be relevant to that investigation. the prime minister who has been out campaigning, lunching the conservative's local elections campaign in derbyshire today, said it would be inappropriate to comment on what is now a police matter, but he again insisted that he believed the comments that frank hester allegedly made were wrong and racist, quite frustrating i guess for the prime minister, this was something that dominated the news for much of last week. 0pposition parties calling on the prime minister to hand at least £10 million that hester has donated to the tory party back. he has where

5:50 pm
camouflage open fire and some people had been reported as wounded. pictures on social media show casualties up, apparently, lying on the ground. this is apparently at crocus city hall, near to moscow. there are also reports of a blast and also a fire in the building. details coming in all of the time, but we are trying to verify those reports and get more details on it but certainly, there are certainly more details coming in all the time. were great cigar enough is in the newsroom... —— gregory is in the newsroom... -- gregory is in the newsroom-— newsroom... -- gregory is in the newsroom. . ., , , ., newsroom. we are still trying to get as much information _ newsroom. we are still trying to get as much information as _ newsroom. we are still trying to get as much information as possible i as much information as possible because this news broke outjust very recently from the very fresh
5:51 pm
line which i'm getting is that the firefighters, they cannot start working with fire because they are waiting while special forces will arrive on the place. as far as i understand from what we deal, we seen already in the recent five, ten minutes there were quite a lot of people in this concert hall at the moment when this incident occurred. and yes, from this report, but i have to underline that this report which we are getting, they are now mainly publishing in anonymous russian telegram channels, though the amount of information and the amount of video which we are receiving can sort of lead us to the conclusion that this is really what is happening and there was at least heavy fighting. this is what we have seen on the video, and there is a massive fire which we... and we can

see smoke from very, very far and what we know about this place, this is crocus city hall which is located on the outskirts of moscow but not far from the on the outskirts of moscow but not farfrom the main road far from the main road that encircles moscow, this is quite a popular place. inside there was a concert of one of the musical groups so there were people. and we saw from the videos which we have seen, we saw people in the hall of that building and also in the concert hall, and we, as far as we understand, again from the video, which we have seen, people were hiding when the shooting started. people started hiding and some of them, they were hiding for 10—15 minutes before they were able to move. . ., y minutes before they were able to move. , ._ y minutes before they were able to move. , ._ , .,. minutes before they were able to move. . , y move. gregory, sorry to cut across ou, but move. gregory, sorry to cut across you. but the — move. gregory, sorry to cut across you, but the latest _ move. gregory, sorry to cut across you, but the latest reports - move. gregory, sorry to cut across you, but the latest reports now i you, but the latest reports now saying for the first time there are

of an explosion, reports of a fire, and it's worth saying, just tell me, because it initially seemed to be reports in moscow in terms of this location, it's not in moscow itself, its near the capital, is that it's near the capital, is that right? it it's near the capital, is that riuht? . . it's near the capital, is that riuht? , ., ., right? it is near the capital, well --eole right? it is near the capital, well people who _ right? it is near the capital, well people who live _ right? it is near the capital, well people who live in _ right? it is near the capital, well people who live in london - right? it is near the capital, well people who live in london would maybe understand this analogy, it encircles the capital, the a big circle road which encircles moscow and this is a concert hall which is near the road. nevertheless, this is where big concert halls are often located, and again this was a place at this moment was a concert of one of the musical groups and again, according to some of the reports, up to 100 people could have been inside the building at the moment when all this occurred.—

5:56 pm
lots of showers, some wintry showers even down to, say, 2—300 metres above sea level including parts of scotland, some snow and showers over the highest ground in northern england. there could be some icy stretches on untreated roads, particularly out in the countryside across the northern half of the uk, for tomorrow our area of low pressure still with us, layouts of isobars around and that, it will be a widely windy day. a mix of sunny spells and showers, showers will be heavy, perhaps laundry, joining together into a line of cloud and shall remain pushing its way southwards throughout the day, some wintriness in the showers across scotland but the snow level coming up scotland but the snow level coming up as the day wears on. gusts of 40-50 up as the day wears on. gusts of 40—50 mph or more, around northern or western coasts. temperatures down from where they have been but when we factor in the wind—chill, these are the feels like temperatures, this is what it will feel like out there. 5—6 . the winds will slowly
5:57 pm
start to ease a little bit particularly across western and southern parts, many of the showers will fade as well, we'll keep some in the north—east of scotland where we are closest to this area of low pressure which will be departing eastwards as we move on to do sunday. still some strong winds along the east coast through the day on sunday, but still potentially one or two showers, for it at many places sunday is going to be a drier and somewhat brighter day with some spells of hazy sunshine ahead, this weather system bringing cloud and rain into northern ireland later in the day. temperatures coming up a little bit, 9-12, the day. temperatures coming up a little bit, 9—12, maybe 13 degrees. we head into next week, it does look very unsettled, longer spells of rain, often fairly windy, temperatures creeping upwards around 10-14 .

at six: the princess of wales has just announced that she is undergoing treatment for cancer. here now is a very personal message from her which hasjust been released, in which she explains what has been happening in recent weeks. i wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst i've been recovering from surgery. it has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but i've had a fantastic medical team who've taken great care of me, for which i'm so grateful. injanuary, i underwent major abdominal surgery in london,
6:00 pm
and at the time it was thought that my condition was non—cancerous. the surgery was successful. however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. my medical team therefore advised that i should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and i'm now in the early stages of that treatment. this of course came as a huge shock, and william and i have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. as you can imagine, this has taken time. it has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. but most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to george, charlotte and louis in a way that's appropriate for them, and to reassure them that i'm going to be ok. as i've said to them, i am well, and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal, in my mind, body and spirits.
6:01 pm
having william by my side is a great source of comfort
