5:31 pm
let's start by bringing you the latest from sheffield's crucible theatre, where ronnie 0'sullivan is playing stuart bingham for a place in the semifinals. like yesterday, it's been a very close match. they resumed earlier at 4—1; and it's still neck and neck. it is currently 8—7 to 0'sullivan. looks like it could go the distance. is the final frame of today's session, able play to a finish tonight. first to 13 frames is the target. the big shock on day 12 came earlier when one of the big favourites judd trump was knocked out by qualifierjakjones. the welshman played the match of his life to beat the 2019 champion 13—9. he'll now play 0'sullivan or bingham in the last four. in the other half of the draw, david gilbert is also through after a 13—8 win over stephen maguire. the damage was done in the first session yesterday when he raced into a 7—1 lead. the world number 28 surprised everyone when he made the semifinals back in 2019 and he's made the last four once again.
5:32 pm
and he'll play kyren wilson orjohn higgins next. higgins is showing his battling qualities once again to keep within two frames of wilson in their quarterfinal. higgins, a four—time champion, was 9—4 down at one stage before winning all of the remaining frames this afternoon. he now trails 9—7 heading into tonight's final session. you can catch the action over on bbc two, the iplayer and the bbc sport website. the second semifinal of the champions league takes place in germany later, as borussia dortmund host paris saint—germain in the first leg. dortmund currently sit fifth in the bundesliga and come into this one off the back of a heavy defeat to fourth—place rb leipzig. meanwhile, psg were crowned french champions over the weekend and their manager luis enrique has full confidence in his star—studded squad. translation: i have one characteristic, _ translation: i have one characteristic, i— translation: i have one characteristic, i always i translation: l have one l characteristic, i always think translation: l have one - characteristic, i always think my players are the best and that my team is the best. 0bviously players are the best and that my team is the best. obviously we have
5:33 pm
weak points that we try to improve and work on them and above all we try to make this happen as little as possible in matches. we are not perfect. we've lost matches throughout the season. but our goal is to have a game where we are better than dortmund. we're into the quarterfinals of the madrid 0pen, andrey rublev saw off carlos alcaraz. losing streak. the russian rublev headed into the tournament on a four—match losing streak. he has had a rich vein of form, beating alcaraz. in the women's draw, fourth seeded elena rybakina pulled off a remarkable comeback over her kazak compatriot yulia putintseva, the 2022 wimbledon champion saving two match points while trailing 5—2 in the third set to come through 4—6, 7—6, 7—5. she's also into...
5:34 pm
red bull have confirmed their design chief adrian newey will leave the team in early 2025. newey is widely regarded as the greatest designer in f1 history, but last week told red bull that he wanted to leave. it follows the controversy involving allegations about team principal christian horner, who was accused of inappropriate behaviour by a female colleague — claims he's always denied. though newey�*s next team is not known, ferrari are the favourites to sign him. and finally there was definitely a buzz around the baseball in arizona. the game between the diamondbacks and the los angeles dodgers was delayed because of a colony of bees. the hero of the day, beekeeper matt hilton, who hoovered up the colony as the pa system played i need a hero. he then threw the honourary opening pitch and probably became the most famous beekeeper in america. and that's your sport for now. back to you, matthew. marc, thanks very
5:35 pm
much. i want to take you to antony blinken. he is talking. he has told the reporters, no time for delay, a monster take the deal on offer. he is talking to reporters also list but rounds up. ml is talking to reporters also list but rounds up.— is talking to reporters also list but rounds up. is talking to reporters also list but rounds u. �* , ., ~ ., but rounds up. all this work on the us really had _ but rounds up. all this work on the us really had to _ but rounds up. all this work on the us really had to make _ but rounds up. all this work on the us really had to make your- us really had to make your assistance in moving and flowing to gaza, and we have got a deal on that —— israeli side. we had the senior un court nader with us, who is playing in his role, along with many un agencies, so the progress is real, but given the need, given the immense need in gaza, it needs to be accelerated, it needs to be sustained, and as we focus on all of the necessary inputs, the number of trucks, what matters the most is the impact. and we are focused on measuring that, making sure the people are actually getting what they need, that it's being delivered to them. one of the remaining
5:36 pm
challenges is making sure that when assistance gets through, it can be effectively distributed within the gaza, and we have to make sure that it's not interfered with or impeded by hamas. so these are remaining challenges and there are a number of others. particular making sure that we have effective de—conflicted and coronation with the humanitarians. it's been a significant improvement there as well. but it has to, we have to make sure that's happening right down to the unit level, so that everyone in the chain knows when shipment moving through a gaza, and it can make its way through efficiently, effectively and get his way through to people who need it. there are number of other things with we want to see continued progress on. i left a list of items with the prime minister and with other officials in the government. there's one other aspect to this thatis there's one other aspect to this that is critical, and i mentioned
5:37 pm
this yesterday. besides the food, it's usually important that everything, people need for their basic well—being, is provided effectively. safe water to drink, medicine when you're sick, access to hospitals and health care facilities if you need urgent care, all of these things are absolutely vital, and again we are seeing progress. the water pipelines that had been cut off or had been destroyed or had other challenges are being restored. that's good, but then once within gaza, we have to make sure the distribution works, and that require some work inside of gaza itself, including with the palestinian water authority. so, this entire ecosystem of care, of support for the people in gaza needs to be front and centre
5:38 pm
in our minds, and it's very much for an in centre and president biden cosmic mind. this is what he has been focused on from day one —— front and centre in president biden�*s mine. we are seeing results, but got to see more, faster and as effectively and efficiently as possible. let me leave it with that intake if you questions in. good evenin: , intake if you questions in. good evening. mr — intake if you questions in. good evening, mr secretary - intake if you questions in. good evening, mr secretary for - intake if you questions in. good evening, mr secretary for prime minister— evening, mr secretary for prime minister netanyahu reportedly has threatened to go into roth regardless of whether there is an agreement on hostage releases and a temporary— agreement on hostage releases and a temporary cease—fire. has the israeli — temporary cease—fire. has the israeli government on this visit provided — israeli government on this visit provided a viable plan for rafah? you've _ provided a viable plan for rafah? you've talked about needing a workable humanitarian plan if they are to _ workable humanitarian plan if they are to proceed with an invasion. 0r are to proceed with an invasion. or have _ are to proceed with an invasion. or have they— are to proceed with an invasion. or have they given you assurances that they would — have they given you assurances that they would allow a deal to play out before _ they would allow a deal to play out before proceeding with an invasion? as i said. _ before proceeding with an invasion? as i said, getting this agreement, cease—fire, hostage release, and

then something to build on, and that's what we talked about today in our meetings. and that's the immediate focus, and there is an agreement that, if we are able to get the deal, get the cease—fire, get the deal, get the cease—fire, get the deal, get the cease—fire, get the hostages out, we look for ways to build on that, and have something that's sustainable over time. on rafah itself, look, our position is clear. it has not changed. it won't change. we cannot, will not support a major military operation in rafah, absent an effective plan to make sure that civilians are not harmed, and no, we have not seen such a plan, and at the same time, there are other ways, and in ourjudgment better ways, of dealing with the real ongoing challenge of hamas, that does not involve or require a major military

5:41 pm
think this is something that the whole world is watching, and if hamas actually purports to care about the palestinian people, and wants to see an immediate alleviation of their suffering, it will take the deal. if it doesn't, i think that's further proof that it does not care a bit about the palestinian people. i think, again, all i can tell you is what we are focused on is giving a deal and understanding that that's something that will give us an opportunity to build on. hamas will have to make its ownjudgements, but build on. hamas will have to make its own judgements, but the build on. hamas will have to make its ownjudgements, but the most immediate thing that can happen to actually improve the situation for palestinians and also create a dynamic that moves this in a different direction is the cease—fire, the hostage deal. let's
5:42 pm
see what they do. cease-fire, the hostage deal. let's see what they do.— see what they do. there, us secretary — see what they do. there, us secretary of _ see what they do. there, us secretary of state, - see what they do. there, us secretary of state, a - see what they do. there, us secretary of state, a longish see what they do. there, us - secretary of state, a longish news conference, pretty direct with some of those answers. let me take you through some of the key lines we heard from the secretary of state. he was sitting the port of ashdod, but said that progress on aid had been real, but given the immense needin been real, but given the immense need in gaza, it needs to be accelerated, he said it needed to be sustained, he said, watching the impact of the changes, that was the critical thing. very interesting, some of the questions towards the end. he was asked, has the israeli government provided a viable plan about going into rafah? you may rememberfrom the about going into rafah? you may remember from the americans demanding to see a plan from israel and their plans for rafah. the way he answered that was saying that they were concentrating, in terms of they were concentrating, in terms of the discussion with benjamin netanyahu, on the hostage releases and, if that was successful, it was
5:43 pm
something to actually build on, going on to say, the us cannot support a military operation in rafah absence of a humanitarian plan, so those the key lines from the us secretary of state after his latest trip to the middle east —— absent of a. now, let's turn to politics here. scottish labour cosmic attempts to unseat the scottish government has failed today. the green party into a regionally were part of the ruling coalition and decided to support the scottish national party and voted against a motion of no—confidence. the motion was brought by the scottish labour leader anas sarwar. he said scotland is crying out for change. now more than ever, our country needs credible and effective leadership and stable and competent government, to take on the twin crises facing our nation — an economic crisis and an nhs crisis. and i have no confidence in the snp�*s ability to deliver that, and that is why i'm bringing
5:44 pm
this motion to parliament today. that was the leader of the labour party in scotland. let's hear from scotland's first minister, humza yousaf, who has announced his resignation on that attempt by scottish labour to unseat the scottish labour to unseat the scottish government. you turning on the devolution of employment law, you planning to oi'i on his support for waspi women. we will leave _ on his support for waspi women. we will leave labour to justify all of that if _ will leave labour to justify all of that if they can. we will never do anything other than standby— we will never do anything other than standby our values, standby scotland's values, the vote of no—confidence the people of scotland really _ no—confidence the people of scotland really need and they deserve is a vote of— really need and they deserve is a vote of no—confidence in this failing. — vote of no—confidence in this failing, miserable union that is holding — failing, miserable union that is holding scotland back and inflicting damage _ holding scotland back and inflicting damage on the people and the economy of this— damage on the people and the economy of this country. the cosy

5:46 pm
gone up not in the scottish government, and in fact patrick harvie, co—leader of the greens, who until last thursday was a government minister, said today, is a shame we no longer have a stable progressive, pro—independence majority government, but a minority government, but a minority government can be made to work and it can happen again, so that vote and it was backed by the greens. they have not lost their government —— confidence in the scottish government but have in the first minister what is happening with the leadership contest? the what is happening with the leadership contest? what is happening with the leadershi contest? ., ., , leadership contest? the attention is back onto the _ leadership contest? the attention is back onto the impending _ leadership contest? the attention is back onto the impending leadership| back onto the impending leadership election for a new leader of the scottish national party but so far no one has declared they are going to stand. there are two names that are widely reported and mentioned, they are thinking about standing, john swinney, the former deputy first minister who led the snp himself 20 years ago, he has the support of many senior figures in
5:47 pm
the snp, and he said he is considering standing, but we understand he will not be making any declaration about that today, he is still talking with his family. kate forbes as the other name in the frame for some she was nearly defeated when she stood for the snp leadership against humza yousaf. just over a year ago. she's also the formerfinance just over a year ago. she's also the former finance secretary. we understand she's currently talking to her supporters, weighing up whether to stand or not, so it feels a little bit, and there's been speculation they are in a bit of a standoff, waiting to see who will blink first. mr sweeney said he is genuinely consulting with his family. there's also chat there are some secret talks going on behind the scenes. we understand or has beenin the scenes. we understand or has been in informal conversation between kate forbes and john swinney, so maybe there could be moves afoot to try and avoid a contest but there are others within the snp that would like to see a leadership contest, they believe that would be healthy for the future of the party. we heard today from
5:48 pm
the outgoing first minister that he was not going to be backing any candidate publicly. we've also heard from the former first minister nicola sturgeon this afternoon that she is going to wait and see who emerges as the candidate before deciding who to back, and it may be neitherjohn swinney nor kate forbes, and other names may come forward, but they are going to have to move pretty quickly because it has to all be decided by the end of monday. has to all be decided by the end of monda . ., ., ., ., ,, ,., has to all be decided by the end of monda . ., ., ., ., ,, ., monday. catriona, thank you for runnina monday. catriona, thank you for running through _ monday. catriona, thank you for running through both _ monday. catriona, thank you for running through both those - monday. catriona, thank you for l running through both those areas. thank you very much. a 17—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after three people were injured in an attack at a secondary school in sheffield. two adults and a child were treated at the scene following the incident at birley academy on birley lane. south yorkshire police says both adults suffered minor injuries while the child was being "checked over". speaking outside the school, assistant chief constable dan thorpe said officers they were called to an incident involving a sharp object. this morning, we were called
5:49 pm
to reports that three people had been injured during an incident at birley academy. 0ur officers attended the scene, and within minutes of the initial call, we had arrested a 17—year—old boy on suspicion of attempted murder. he remains in police custody. the three victims of this incident, two adults and a child, suffered minor injuries and were checked over at the scene by colleagues from yorkshire ambulance service. the two adults both suffered minor injuries, one from a sharp object which is believed to be broken glass. the child was assaulted and, thankfully, has no visible injuries. but i know this will have been a frightening ordeal for everyone involved. pip has been in the news quite a lot this week. pip stands for personal independence payments, it is money you can claim for to cover extra costs you might face.
5:50 pm
the government is proposing significant changes because of a big increase in the number of people making claims. it could be cash payments are stopped and went off grants paid instead. it has been called a reckless assault on disabled people. the pm rishi sunak has launched consultation on it, saying that he wants to make sure money is targeted to those who need it the most. organisations have a couple of months to respond — and the initial signs are not positive for the government. here is a brief clip ofjames taylor from the charity scope, who was a guest on access all, which is the bbc�*s disability news and mental health podcast. i think anyone who's used the welfare system, been assessed or uses benefits at the moment would agree, it's not great. but the way to have this conversation is to engage disabled people, and it's to really think, what do we want our welfare system to do?
5:51 pm
how do we bring in kindness? i think, ultimately, how do we bring in some trust between people who are using it and the people who are assessing you? it feels like the starting point for the government conversation and consultation is, "how can we bring down the bill "as quickly as possible? "and our solution is to make it much harder for people to claim." let me give you a pointer because you can download that podcast, access all, using the qr code that you can see on the screen go to the bbc sounds app. with me is emma tracey, who is the presenter of access all. thank you for being on the programme. why don't we start by your description of either more detail of what the government is trying to do here? so detail of what the government is trying to do here?— detail of what the government is trying to do here? so as has already been said, matthew, _ trying to do here? so as has already been said, matthew, they _ trying to do here? so as has already been said, matthew, they are - trying to do here? so as has already. been said, matthew, they are making the no secret they're trying to lower the bill. the bill is going up and up. it's going up by 52% by 28 —
5:52 pm
29, four years. they want to change a lot of things about this, they want to change the thresholds for pip, who gets it and who does not, they feel that there's quite a lot of people with anxiety and depression, they want to look at whether that is the best way supporting them. they want to change how the assessments are done. there are some talks of going more towards assessments by condition rather than what's been the case, which is the effect that an impairment has on your life and the costs associated with that, and then they want to change potentially how the independenc payments or how they cover the extra costs of being disabled. they are looking into vouchers, a voucher option, so not cash for some at the moment, it's cash for some at the moment, it's cash into your account every month. there are five different sums you could have, different levels of care

5:56 pm
in particular, it was a struggle to clear that all day. in marked contrast, in norfolk here, we've seen temperatures over 20 degrees in the sunshine. but at the same time, we've also seen this cloud moving up from france. and it's that that's bringing some rain into parts of england and wales this evening. that'll push up towards northern ireland as well before retreating back towards the south—west. and as that happens, we'll see some heavier rain later in the night and more of that mist and fog and low cloud pushing further inland further north. temperatures, well, typically 8 or 9 degrees, so pretty mild overnight, but getting wet and quite stormy potentially across southern parts of england and wales by the early hours, some heavy rain, thunder, lightning and some large hail and gusty winds. maybe some disruption. the worst of it may push away, but it could stay wet for much of the day in south—west england and south wales. and we may well find some further heavy bursts of rain developing in other southern areas, drifting later into the midlands and north wales. further north, it's dry, increasing amounts of sunshine away from these coastal areas in south—east scotland and north—east england, where there's going to be
