sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. good evening. everton have been deducted two points for their second breach of the premier league's profitability and sustainability rules — they admitted to going 16 million pounds over the spending limit over a three year period up to the end of last season. everton have already been hit with a 10 point deduction in november reduced to 6 on appeal, that was for the previous rolling three year period. the club say that they have begun the preparations to appeal the latest sanction. here's our sports news correspondent laura scott. we have heard from everton in a statement that they put forward a number of mitigating factors including the war in ukraine which we know affected sponsorship deal. they also said their cooperation and early admission should have worked in theirfavour,

early admission should have worked in their favour, the early admission should have worked in theirfavour, the mitigating factors were listened to, but they have said they will appeal. they have said they will appeal. they have said they will appeal. they have said in their statement that they are extremely concerned by the inconsistency of different commissions in respect of points deductions applied. we know the premier league feel that any breach of these rules requires a sporting section, but you have seen of the course of the season with nottingham forest as well, breaching these rules, that there have been a number of different points deductions applied. this will be frustrated not just for these clubs, but the fans as well. it is leading to a pretty chaotic picture as the premier league season comes to an end. jess fishlock will captain wales in their euro 2025 qualifier in kosovo tomorrow as she becomes the first welsh player to reach 150 caps. fishlock scored twice as wales beat croatia 4—0 in wrexham on friday in their opening euro qualifier. she's taking the armband after sophie ingle decided to stand down as skipper.

no decision has been made as to who'll succeed ingle as permanent captain. iamjust so i am just so focused on getting on a page, putting on a performance and being a part of a group that gets what we need and a result. i am sure after the game i can thenjust what we need and a result. i am sure after the game i can then just take after the game i can then just take a step back and look at what i have been able to do and what i have been able to achieve. leah williamson will make her first england appearance in a year against the republic of ireland tomorrow. the arsenal midfielder hasn't featured for the lionesses since rupturing knee ligaments last year. that saw her miss england's run to the world cup final in australia. she was an unused substitute in friday's one all draw with sweden. it has been a difficultjourney, but this is, i would be lying if this was not the thing that i have my focus on. this is where i wanted to

get back to, i wanted to get back in the sport. to have some of the best memories of my life as part of this team. scotland are home to slovakia tomorrow night, northern ireland are in bosnia—herzegovina but their manager won't be tanya oxtoby will miss their qualifier because of illness. the australian coach is one of several members of the camp who have been affected by a virus over the past week. oxtoby was too unwell to travel yesterday and first team coach stuart mclaren will look after the side. northern ireland drew their opening game against malta. the head of the commonwealth games says they will name the 2026 hosts next month. there's been huge uncertainty over the future of the games since the australian state of victoria withdrew last year because of rising costs, singapore and malaysia have both turned down the chance to step in, and if no one does, then will the commonwealths cease to exist. the ceo, kate sadleir is positive that they will be saved.

iam i am very confident. i think they are really exciting. we have been spending quite a time doing quite a tense of discussion discussion of the future of the games. we always were going to do that. we have a new strategic plan launched last year and it was about resetting and reframing and looking at the games differently. the concepts that have come and give of the opportunity to test those concepts as well so i'm very excited about the opportunities. the clay court season is under way, building up to next month's french open. the world's best players are taking part at the monte carlo masters. the russian kharen khachanov. losing the first set, second go into a tie—break. dan evans is out though — the british number three lost in straight sets to austria's sebastian ofner. evans has not won back—to—back singles matches on the atp tour this year.

looking very good in that tie—break, it looks as though cameron norrie is on his way out. he has blown a lot of chances. back to you, matthew. thank you. in bradford, a woman stabbed to death while pushing her baby in a pram has been identified by police as kulsama akter. west yorkshire police say an urgent national manhunt is under way for her suspected killer. detectives say habibur masumat was known to them — and that ms akter had previous contact with police. they're appealing for witnesses to come forward with any information. west yorkshire police gave an update earlier , here's assistant chief constable damien miller. we have had teams of officers working through all the contacts that we have received and following up all lines of inquiries. there are significant resources conducting cctv and house—to—house inquiries and local officers carrying out increased patrols in the area which i hope will be of some assurance to residents. with the support of other forces,

we have conducted a number of raids in the areas in the search for habibur masum. during the search is the 23—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and is now in police custody. our inquiry continues at pace and we remain keen to receive any information which would assist. we're also appealing to any taxi drivers in bradford you may have picked up habibur masum on saturday afternoon from the bradford park and it is very likely would have paid in cash. if you see habibur masum, please call 999 immediately and i urge people not to approach him but to contact the police and we can act on any information that is provided. let's get more on with our correspondent frances read. you were listening to that news conference, tell us more about what the police were actually saying there. , ., , .,

they have arrested a 23—year—old man in assisting an offender. we have learned the last hour, west yorkshire police as well as greater manchester police have both referred themselves to the iopc, it seems to be because of this prior link of knowing the offender in some capacity. did knowing the offender in some ca aci . , , knowing the offender in some caaci . , , capacity. did they say whether there had been any _ capacity. did they say whether there had been any public _ capacity. did they say whether there had been any public sightings - capacity. did they say whether there had been any public sightings of - had been any public sightings of him at all so far? 1140. had been any public sightings of him at all so far?— at all so far? no. there have not been any — at all so far? no. there have not been any public _ at all so far? no. there have not been any public sightings - at all so far? no. there have not been any public sightings at all l been any public sightings at all since that cctv that was seen on the bus. the police have basically said that he was last, seen wearing a duffel track bottom with maroon trainers captured on cctv getting onto this bus in bradford. they save significant resources are not going into looking through the cctv as well as house to house inquiry. of course that appeal to taxi drivers as well. police have said he was known to the victim. he should not be approached and west yorkshire

compensation was taking so long. we still suffer, because all these people in this room are still- suffering as victims - and are not survivors yet. kevin hollinrake agreed the government hadn't been compensating people quickly enough. he also went further. people should be prosecuted. that's my view, and i think you and other people i've spoken to, i certainly feel, people who were within the post office and possibly further afield, should go to jail. it's been a long road. the first campaign meeting was here in 2009. eight years later, alan bates took legal action against the post office and won compensation. but much of this was eaten up in legal fees. the secret 2017 bramble report uncovered by the bbc said that fujitsu employees had the ability to amend or delete transactions entered by post office branch staff. this information wasn't revealed to postmasters during their civil case.

in 2021, the court of appeal quashed the convictions of 39 sub—postmasters. the year after, the public inquiry began hearing evidence. and i come from a heritage of postmasters... - for vipin patel, who was wrongly prosecuted for shortfalls in excess of £75,000 at his branch in oxfordshire, compensation is coming too late. for us, the life is slipping away. i've spent now 37 years - in post office, including my 13 years after convictions, so it feels like the - life has been wasted. the next phase of the public inquiry, which starts tomorrow, will look at who knew what at the top. arun iyengar, bbc news. let's speak to david enright, who is a partner at howe & co solictors. he represented many of the sub postmasters.

welcome to the programme. when you heard the minister there say that if there is clear wrongdoing, people should go to jail, what did you think when you actually heard that said out loud by a government minister? i said out loud by a government minister? . ., ., ., said out loud by a government minister?— said out loud by a government minister? . ., ., ., ., minister? i have a lot of time for kevin hollinrake _ minister? i have a lot of time for kevin hollinrake but _ minister? i have a lot of time for kevin hollinrake but calling - minister? i have a lot of time for kevin hollinrake but calling for. kevin hollinrake but calling for prosecutions now is like calling for the sun to rise by 230 in the afternoon. as a reportjust said, this is been going on for decades now and people have known about it for decades. there has been a metropolitan police investigation ongoing since 2019, but no charges have been brought. so all of us are asking the question, why is it that we are taking the unprecedented step of quashing the convictions of up to 900 wrongly convicted persons in not a single person has been charged, let alone convicted? i will a single person has been charged, let alone convicted?— let alone convicted? i will come back to that _ let alone convicted? i will come back to that point _ let alone convicted? i will come back to that point in _ let alone convicted? i will come back to that point in a _ let alone convicted? i will come j back to that point in a moment, let alone convicted? i will come - back to that point in a moment, but we will about to resume the inquiry, how crucial is the stage with some

of the key players about to give evidence? we of the key players about to give evidence? ~ . ., ., evidence? we have heard from the troo -s evidence? we have heard from the troops and — evidence? we have heard from the troops and junior _ evidence? we have heard from the troops and junior officers _ evidence? we have heard from the troops and junior officers and - evidence? we have heard from the troops and junior officers and i we | troops and junior officers and i we will hearfrom the troops and junior officers and i we will hear from the generals. this base of the inquiry we will be hearing from the chief executive officers, the chairman, and other very senior people involved in all of this. we will find out what they knew, when, for example, how early was it that they knew that the horizon system was riddled with bugs and errors and defects. how early was it that they knew postmasters accounts could be remotely accessed through secret back doors by fujitsu suppliers. how they worked with the supposedly independent investigation brought forward and how they then apparently sanitise that investigation and went down to defend the indefensible and the bates versus post office litigation

between 2016—19 so this is the important phase we are getting. you allude to some of the developments we have had over the last few weeks because we also at that the museum investigation where papers suggest that the post office continued with those court cases despite knowing the case was untrue. you have had channel 4 news with their leaked recordings, what should actually happen given new information? do we have to wait until the end of this public inquiry, do you think? ila. public inquiry, do you think? no. this really _ public inquiry, do you think? no. this really is _ public inquiry, do you think? no. this really is a _ public inquiry, do you think? ila. this really is a red herring. when challenged about this the post office and other say, let's wait until the inquiry is over. public inquiries do not make civil findings. it is the police and cps who deal with those types of matters. there can be investigations or prosecutions ongoing simultaneously to a public inquiry and there should be because we do need to know. if people were perverting the course ofjustice, if people were knowingly or recklessly

putting people in prison, that needs to be dealt with. aha, putting people in prison, that needs to be dealt with.— to be dealt with. a final question. because we _ to be dealt with. a final question. because we have _ to be dealt with. a final question. because we have heard _ to be dealt with. a final question. because we have heard about - to be dealt with. a final question. because we have heard about the j because we have heard about the legislation going through parliament to quash those convictions, would you like added to that, written in, a set deadline for compensation to be paid, rather than the situation we are currently in where there is still no real timeline for when some of these people are actually going to receive compensation? that of these people are actually going to receive compensation?- of these people are actually going to receive compensation? that is a complicated _ to receive compensation? that is a complicated question. _ to receive compensation? that is a complicated question. for - to receive compensation? that is a complicated question. for me - to receive compensation? that is a complicated question. for me i - to receive compensation? that is a i complicated question. for me i would like everyone to be compensated ten years ago, that is the deadline i would like. we can't do that. people need to be fairly compensated, rapidly, but fairly. it has also been a lot of bureaucracy in this, and foot dragging. we need to get rid of that. what we need is fair and proper compensation. it should have happened before, let's make it happen now. we have happened before, let's make it happen nova— have happened before, let's make it ha en now. ~ , ., happen now. we must leave it there, but thank you — happen now. we must leave it there, but thank you for _ happen now. we must leave it there, but thank you for your _ happen now. we must leave it there, but thank you for your time _ happen now. we must leave it there, but thank you for your time in - but thank you for your time in joining us here on bbc news.

rail passengers are facing more disruption — as train drivers take part in strike action for the third time in four days. it's part of a dispute over pay and conditions. services in east anglia and southern england are mainly affected, with a fraction of the usual services running. passengers are advised to check before they travel. joining me now is our transport correspondent katy austin. let's start with that, just go through the impact of the strike action has had today. b5 through the impact of the strike action has had today.— through the impact of the strike action has had today. as you say, this is the — action has had today. as you say, this is the third _ action has had today. as you say, this is the third straight _ action has had today. as you say, this is the third straight day - action has had today. as you say, this is the third straight day over| this is the third straight day over the past few days since friday. each of those strike days by train drivers is affected a different list of operators and broadly speaking, different area of the country so today, the big focus is on the south of england, a lot of commuter routes into london and the east of england as well, east anglia. so a number of the operators affected are running no trains, some are running a very limited service, but that may only be on a small part of their network

and only starting much later and finishing earlier than usual. so a big impact on a lot of people today, although of course as we have heard in the past few years, people are now working from home more and so a lot of people choosing to do that instead. so a large swathe of the country affected and people are still being told, check before you travel, especially if you are on your way home tonight and as a say, some trains will be finishing a lot earlier. . some trains will be finishing a lot earlier. , ., ., , earlier. remind us of the gap there is between train _ earlier. remind us of the gap there is between train drivers _ earlier. remind us of the gap there is between train drivers and - is between train drivers and employers? fist is between train drivers and employers?— is between train drivers and employers? is between train drivers and emlo ers? �* ., , employers? at the moment there is reall no employers? at the moment there is really no sign _ employers? at the moment there is really no sign of _ employers? at the moment there is really no sign of an _ employers? at the moment there is really no sign of an end _ employers? at the moment there is really no sign of an end in _ employers? at the moment there is really no sign of an end in sight to l really no sign of an end in sight to this dispute. it has been going on for not quite two years, but not far off two years. the first strikes by the train drivers and the aslef union were back at the end of the july 2022 year. things moved a bit, there were talks and there was a latest offer about this time last yearin latest offer about this time last year in late april last year that the latest offer by what is called

the latest offer by what is called the rail delivery group which represents train companies, the government has to approve what is and that offer, so nearly a year that was put on the table. but aslef leadership instantly rejected its aim members would never expected —— accepted and things have not moved since. so you're talking about a year or so with no progress in at the moment, it is hard to see any sign of either side shifting their position and of course, it is passenger stuck in the middle. so i think it is quite likely we are going to see more strikes, we just don't know when. going to see more strikes, we 'ust don't know memi history has been made in buckingham palace today, as for the first time ever, french soldiers took part in the changing of the guard. 16 british soldiers from the coldstream guards have also been performing the same function over at the elysee palace in paris. they are marking the 120th anniversary of the signing of the entente cordiale, which brought about the current era of friendship between france and the uk. sam harrison reports. # god save our gracious king...#

it's not often you hear god save the king blasted through paris by a french army choir, but today is an exception. it's a relationship celebrated down the generations, marking the signing of the first alliance agreement between france and the uk in 1904. welcome to the president of the french republic. this edition of the entente cordiale in 1939 was significant. just before the start of the second world war. and over the years, it's held strong. monsieur le president, mesdames, messieurs. queen elizabeth. marking its centenary in paris in 200a. today, another landmark moment for the agreement�*s120th anniversary. thousands were present at buckingham palace to watch french troops take part in the iconic changing of the guard. a moment centuries in the making.

this is a military first. french soldiers here today weren't just here to carry out a piece of ceremonial duty. they've become the first troops from outside the commonwealth to take part in this prestigious ritual. well, i think we do have a good relationship with england. we are near. and it's a historic friendship. so, yeah, i think it's it's it's great in france and also in england. it's huge here for the people. so it's wonderful to be here. it's a special day. so, yeah. everyone's holding their phones up like that and nobody can even see anything. in paris, sentiments were echoed. british troops became the first from outside of france to change the guard at the elysee palace. across both capitals, then, a modern celebration confirming an historic alliance, the entente cordiale as strong as ever before. sam harrison, bbc news, buckingham palace.

let me bring you some of the latest from the _ let me bring you some of the latest from the middle east. onlyr let me bring you some of the latest from the middle east.— from the middle east. only one choice on _ from the middle east. only one choice on this _ from the middle east. only one choice on this story _ from the middle east. only one choice on this story but - from the middle east. only one choice on this story but where i from the middle east. only one - choice on this story but where does agency reporting is really prime minister saying, a date has been set for the rafah invasion in gaza. no detail obviously on that, but that is interesting. marked because only an hour ago, i was giving you that latest line from the white house saying they had no imminent, information of any imminent assault on rafah. so an obvious contradiction there. reuters news agency reporting that benjamin that back saying that a date has been set for a rafah invasion in gaza. —— benjamin netanyahu. so keeping an eye across that trying to explore and getting more information on that story. a new photography exhibition has opened in central london, that can be enjoyed by partially sighted, blind and sighted visitors.

called �*world unseen' — it uses braille and audio descriptions on its artwork, and shows the world, as seen by the visually impaired. it sold out before it had even opened. leyla hayes reports. this is how most of us would see this striking photo. but this is how it could appear to someone with a visual impairment. this exhibition in somerset house means that those with sight loss can experience photography in a whole new way. just the little detail in the ears, you know, it'sjust. it's amazing. the images have been printed in 3d, so they can also be touched. it's only raised a maximum of two millimetres off the surface, but yet i can feel the skin of the rhinoceros, i can feel the wound where they cut off the horn. i can feel its mouth and it's eating the grass. all this detail, it's just like, wow. each photo in the exhibition is also accompanied by a full description

in braille for those who can't see. campaigners say it's about making art accessible to all. we want experiences that we can all share and we can all benefit from, and that's what inclusion is about — offering everyone a kind of equitable experience, notjust, "let's put on something for blind people." actually, what we really want is, let's try and find a way to deliver exhibitions that mean everybody can get something out of it. the new technology has enabled visually impaired mum karen to see a scan of her baby ruby for the first time. it was amazing, like, to have the experience that every other mum that has their scan in the uk is getting to see their baby scan — i got to see mine. i could feel her nose, her eyes, what she was going to look like. and when i first had her, the first thing i did was feel her nose and was, like, "yeah, her nose feels like the scan picture does!" one of the photos was taken by blind photographer ian treherne. yeah, it makes it much more

inclusive cos a lot of blind people don't really feel like they can get involved, you know, going to exhibitions — so this is, yeah, this is amazing. whether you're blind, visually impaired or fully sighted, this exhibition is bringing photography to all. that was leyla hayes reporting there. just before i go, let me bring you the very latest on the total solar eclipse. we are in so many different places to see live pictures. texaco first of all. a large crowd we have seen gathering. they will be the first people to see this eclipse in about one hour's time. —— in mexico. let me take you to niagara falls because as his arc she was his way through mexico than america, then canada will be there, at the various locations. we can also show you live

pictures coming in from california, there, shots of the sun. anita is here over the next few hours, she will be taking you through the best seatin will be taking you through the best seat in town as we will show you all of the latest live pictures. thank you for being with me today, see you at the same time tomorrow. hello. monday brought us a bit of mix of weather types. while some of us had some spells of warm spring sunshine, other areas were stuck under the cloud and rain all day. it's been a really wet first week of april and that unsettled theme continues for the next few days. so more blustery spells of rain at times and it's turning a little bit cooler than it has been, too. so we've got low pressure driving our weather at the moment — here it is. it's gradually easing its way eastwards through the rest of the evening, overnight and over the next 2a hours or so, it'll bring us some more wet and windy weather. some thunderstorms initially for the far south of east anglia. they clear northwards and then the bulk of the rain through tonight will be northern ireland, scotland, perhaps western parts of

england and wales. across scotland, in fact, we could see some flooding by dawn because that rain is falling on very saturated ground. it's not going to be a cold night, 6—9 degrees, but it is going to be windy for many of us, particularly down towards the south—west of england, through the english channel, through the north channel as well. more of this rain for tuesday lingering for scotland, parts of northern england in particular as well, followed by sunshine and a few blustery showers from the west. driest for parts of southern england through the day, but gusts of wind 45 miles per hour or so inland, but stronger than that, gales around some of the coastal regions. and we've got really high tides with a full moon at the moment, so we could be seeing some coastal flooding as well. top temperatures 8—12 on tuesday, so cooler than recent days, especially so when you add on the wind chill. so the blue colours, the colder air mass with us for a time through the middle part of the week. but later on wednesday, the next warm front moves in from the atlantic, bringing some warmer air and some rain, too. could be an early frost in the east, i think, on wednesday. but the cloud increases, the rain moves its way in and the winds are going to be

picking up through the day as well. so another unsettled day, more fairly unwelcome rain for some of us — heaviest in the north—west. temperatures — about 10—15 for most of us — are just starting to edge up, certainly, compared to tuesday. and then we've got this lingering front. we're heading into thursday now, i don't think there'll be too much rain on that, but there's likely to be quite a lot of low cloud, mist and murk around some southern hills and coasts, for instance, first thing on thursday. brighter skies from the word go towards the north. and i think through the day the sunshine should tend to break up that cloud. so a bit of a drier, brighter sort of day for many of us and a touch warmer. we're looking at highs in norwich, in london, up to about 19 degrees or so. 20 celsius possible in the south for friday and saturday. then things turn cooler and more unsettled into next week. will will.

at six — a nationwide manhunt for a 25—year—old man suspected of stabbing a woman in broad daylight in bradford. habibur masum is still believed to be in the country, and is described as "very dangerous". police say the victim, was known to west yorkshire police. also this evening... millions of people across north america are hoping to see a total solar eclipse in the next few hours. iam in i am in dallas where we will be plunged into darkness in the mid of the day. the post office minister says those responsible for the horizon it scandal should
