of the rapper sean �*diddy�* combs physically assaulting his then—girlfriend cassie ventura in the corridor of a hotel in 2016. ms ventura made allegations of rape and physical abuse against him in a lawsuit that was settled last year. combs is at the centre of several civil lawsuits accusing him of sex offences. 0ur correspondent emma vardy has this report which contains some distressing images. cassie ventura claims she suffered years of abuse in her relationship with p diddy, one of the most influential artists in hip—hop. in the cctv footage, she is seen leaving a hotel room. sean combs appears to run after her, before carrying out a violent assault. the full tape shows her being kicked as she lies on the ground. after taking her items, next, the rapper seems to be seen throwing an object towards her.

the video — obtained by the american news channel, cnn — has not been independently verified, but lawyers for cassie ventura, who has not objected to it being shown, say it confirms p diddy�*s disturbing and predatory behaviour. last month, homes linked with sean combs were raided by police in what they said was an ongoing investigation into sex trafficking. officers searched properties in beverly hills, new york and miami associated with his production company. cassie ventura had previously brought a lawsuit against sean combs in relation to the incident in the video, said to be at a los angeles hotel. she settled out of court, but since then, several others have come forward, accusing him of sexual abuse. sean combs has previously denied all the allegations. in march, his lawyer is calling it a witch—hunt

today those lawyers no longer represent him. but the video appears to corroborate one of the incidents described in cassie ventura's case. her accusations and others against p diddy — a self—proclaimed bad boy — now part of a dramatic downfall for one of hip—hop's biggest names. emma vardy, bbc news, los angeles. israel's military says it has recovered the bodies of three hostages who were killed by hamas on the 7th october and taken back to gaza. it comes as the us confirmed the first aid shipment was delivered into the territory by a temporary pier. 0ur middle east correspondent lucy williamson reports. shani louk. yitzhak gelernter. and amit buskila. killed near the nova music festival on the 7th of october. their bodies taken hostage and brought back home this week by israeli forces. our hearts go out to them, to the families at this difficult time. we will leave no

stone unturned. we will do everything in our power to find our hostages and bring them home. the israeli prime minister has vowed to bring home the remaining hostages. the living and the dead. but that promise is wearing thin with many hostage families as the war in gaza continues. today's israel army said it had found this hamas arsenal with a stockpile of heavy weapons. hamas released this video from the same neighbourhood weeks after israel said the area was cleared. the un says aid to gaza has plummeted as southern routes are blocked by israel's operation in rafah and more than half a million people have fled in search of safety, shelter and food. today the first test of a new temporary pier and causeway built by us and british forces

to get aid in. a lifeline to gaza to relieve the pressure on local populations and distant politicians. these the first pictures of cargo being driven along the floating causeway to un lorries waiting on gaza's shore. among the supplies, temporary shelter kits from the uk. we welcome it. we hope it can be effectively scaled up. but it is no substitute for proper opening of borders, it is expensive and it's inefficient but we hope that it will work. the new pier was little comfort for some of those watching from the shore. translation: they want to bring us food, - they should bring us back to their homes, they should stop the bloodshed, they should come and see how we are living on the streets. israel's allies are

in a surreal and sombre day, scheffler�*s golf seemed somehow unaffected as he put himself firmly in contention to win another major. laura scott, bbc news. there's good news for anyone who missed the show—stopping aurora borealis last weekend — there could be more displays on the way. forecasters say new solar storms are being driven towards earth because the sun is reaching a period of peak solar activity resulting in spectacular northern lights and the sun spot that caused last week's geomagnetic storm will be back in around 14 days. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. did you catch it last weekend yourself? i did, yes. forthe did you catch it last weekend yourself? i did, yes. for the first time ever, managed to see it with my own eyes so i was very impressed. we could see that as the sunspot comes back into view at the start of next

month but as ever, there is never any guarantee. it is like waves crashing against the beach you need a big wave to get the big crash and it is the same sort of thing with those magnetic storms. they have to combine with nighttime and clear skies as well which we were lucky to have last week. saying all that, they have still been a few magnetic storms during the last few days so there is the chance we could see some of the aurora but it will be strongest before the sun sets so during daylight. but even tonight, a lot more cloud in northern scotland and a small chance you could see some but not on the levels we saw what about the weather? it is shaping up to be a pretty decent we can for many of you. a lot of people get through the weekend drive. mist and fog through the morning but some isolated and pretty heavy showers

football, and chelsea's emma hayes could be heading to the usa with another wsl trophy. it's the final day of the women's super league and chelsea are top of the table going into their match against manchester united at old trafford, but they're only ahead of manchester city on goal difference. city are away at aston villa. hayes knows what she wants to see this afternoon. we get to hopefully play in front of a sold—out or close to sold—out crowd at old trafford. and we get the opportunity to train so hard, to be in with a shout for the title on the last day. that is all i could ask for the players. the better the outcome i am extremely proud of the efforts of everyone to put us in this position. ——no matter the outcome. there won't be a dry eye in the kop at 6pm tomorrow evening. it's the last day of the premier league season, and liverpool will say goodbye to managerjurgen klopp

after their game against wolves. klopp took over back in october 2015 and after a trophy—laden reign he knows it'll be hard to leave but he's happy he's going at the right time. most intense week of my life, certainly. i said goodbye is often this week. to so many people. saying goodbye i don't think is ever nice but say goodbye without feeling sad or feeling but say goodbye without feeling sad orfeeling hurt but say goodbye without feeling sad or feeling hurt or whatever, but say goodbye without feeling sad orfeeling hurt or whatever, that would just mean that the time you spent together wasn't right, wasn't great. i've had a great time. it was always clear it would be tough. we're still waiting for official confirmation from the club, but arne slot himself says he will be their new manager. it's not a huge surprise as the dutchman's current club — feyenoord agreed a £9.4 million compensation deal with liverpool last month. slot told dutch media he is ready to take over at anfield.

translation: i can confirm that i will be the trainer— translation: i can confirm that i will be the trainer there _ translation: i can confirm that i will be the trainer there next - translation: i can confirm that ij will be the trainer there next year. that is a first step. they have a trainer who did excellent and have to say goodbye to him. so that's probably the reason the club didn't officially announce. not news, but i can confirm, though it is no news for you, that i will be the trainer there next year. there you go, from the horse's mouth. southampton have moved a step closer to a return to the premier league. they'll take on leed united in the play—off final after beating west brom 3—1 in the second leg of their semi. it was a far more lively affair than the cagey goalless draw in the first leg — adam armstrong scoring in the second half, before adding a penalty late on. they'll face leeds at wembley, a week tomorrow. the southampton fans were, of course, overjoyed by the victory — one choosing to celebrate by waving his prosthetic leg in the air and another with some —

shall we say — interesting dance moves. look at those shapes. loving it. go yourself, big man! it is great to see. listen you do not get that enthusiasm everywhere but you do in football. england women have won their t20 series against pakistan. they're 2—0 up with a game to play after a huge victory at northampton's county ground. player of the match alice capsey top scored with 31, along with nat sciver—brunt as they made 144 for 6. pakistan never got near them. they were 2 down with just 9 on the board, lauren bell taking two quick wickets. and, after steadying the ship, they collapsed again, losing their last 5 wickets for just 8 runs as they crumpled to 79 all out. england winning by 65 runs.

qualifying takes place later for tomorrow's emilia romagna grand prix. ferrari's charles leclerc set the pace in both practice sessions. leclerc was quicker than mclaren's 0scar piastri in the second session, with the rb of yuki tsunoda a surprise third. max verstappen was seventh and he struggled in the middle sector of the lab. unusual dissent from max verstappen but it gives it the other drivers a chance. i verstappen but it gives it the other drivers a chance.— drivers a chance. i am still recovering _ drivers a chance. i am still recovering from _ drivers a chance. i am still recovering from the - drivers a chance. i am still- recovering from the southampton fans. ~ , :, recovering from the southampton fans. . recovering from the southampton fans. ~ . ,., recovering from the southampton fans. . fans. when you celebrate, you may as well do it in — fans. when you celebrate, you may as well do it in style. _ fans. when you celebrate, you may as well do it in style. thank— fans. when you celebrate, you may as well do it in style. thank you. - we'll be back with the headlines at 7:00. now it's time for unspun world, with our world affairs editor, john simpson. hello and welcome to unspun world. why is israel's government deliberately flouting the wishes of its leading ally,

the united states? perhaps it goes to show what netanyahu is willing to do for his own political survival. this is definitely kind of bringing israel towards a more isolationist stance. what's the extent of china's infiltration of western countries? whether it's in the uk or in other countries — we've seen them in the us, we've seen them in australia, there's a canadian parliamentary inquiry — there's something going on there. and why is a law on foreign agents in georgia causing mass demonstrations? they see it as a pivot - in the country's foreign policy. it is quite black and white. you know, it's either eu or russia. top american leaders often have problems with israel, which depends heavily on american support... gunfire

..but doesn't necessarily do what the us wants. usually, though, american officials keep quiet about it. not so the us deputy secretary of state, kurt campbell. he said publicly the other day, israel's leaders mostly talk about the idea of a sweeping victory on the battlefield, but the biden administration didn't believe such a thing was possible. neither do many other observers. so why is israel pursuing the idea, and why is benjamin netanyahu so willing to ignore what the us wants? i put these questions to shaina oppenheimer, a journalist with bbc monitoring injerusalem. first and foremost, he has some very far—right coalition partners who have been very hawkish and very clear with him that they want to see the government do certain things, for example, for it to press ahead with a full—scale invasion of rafah.

and they would also like to see what they would describe as a total victory image in gaza, a total defeat of hamas. it is very paramount to the existence of his very fragile government and coalition. so he has to kind of manoeuvre and balance the pressure of that and israel's relationship with the us, which is certainly at what seems to be a historic low. but it is an incredibly risky strategy, isn't it? perhaps it goes to show what netanyahu is willing to do for his own political survival. not only does he want his government to stay in power, but it's important to remember that he's also facing three different charges and trials of corruption. so it would be very crucial for him to stay in power in a bid to perhaps avoid being charged or avoid serving prison time. and, you know, turkey has already moved to stop trade relations with israel.

there are moves now we see from the international community perhaps to recognise a palestinian state. so this is definitely kind of bringing israel towards a more isolationist stance. and in a certain way that almost works for netanyahu, depending on how you see it, in the sense that his base certainly thinks that only he is capable of ruling israel, only he would have the courage to say that israel will stand alone in this war if it has to. i find it difficult to know who the real mr netanyahu is. are these things that he really wants to be doing, or is he forced to do it by the circumstances he finds himself in? i think he's certainly intelligent enough to know the direction he's pulling israel towards. um, it'sjust a question of, has he isolated himself so much and been so consumed by his own political survival

that he can't see past that? or he has just actively chosen not to care and put himself first? and a lot of people would say that he has chosen himself over the country. and of course, there's the whole issue of what he did, what he said, what he knew before the 7th of october attacks by hamas and the investigation that will take place, and how he deals with that, how he, uh, escapes the blame for that. the head of the army's intelligence resigned in april, i believe, because of this. and even just this week, as israel marks memorial day, we saw the army chief come out, he took some responsibility for some of the army failures of october 7th. netanyahu still hasn't done that. and i think it's very much something that he's aware that the pressure to answer these questions will only increase, when and however the war ends.

and that's perhaps another motivating factor to kind of prolong this war. how do you feel this is going to end? i mean, is it going to be kind of an untidy business where the israeli army pulls out of parts of gaza but keeps, stays in some, and there's no kind of clear—cut solution? it's very clear that the israeli army and israel doesn't have some kind of long—term plan for gaza in terms of who could potentially rule it, who could potentially administer it. but if you look at what's happening on the ground already, the israeli army is going back into places like jabalia in northern gaza, where it had previously said that they had completed their operations there. so the second the army may pull out, hamas might regroup. hamas, at the end of the day, it's an idea. you can't fully destroy that. and then you have the other aspect, which is some of the international diplomatic efforts to perhaps use this situation to say we need

a long—term solution. there must be some kind of future palestinian state. and then there's a lot of questions that arise of who would run that palestinian state. israel and netanyahu will be looking for some kind of victory image. and what that image will be, perhaps could be at the end of some kind of rafah invasion, which could have a very serious cost for israel in terms of its international ties and standings and, critically, its relationship with the us. the ruling chinese communist party is habitually thin—skinned about criticism, either from inside the country or from the chinese diaspora around the world, and there have been accusations from a variety of countries, from canada and the us to britain and australia, that chinese security is spying on or actively trying to control dissidents.

the other day, three men appeared in court in london, charged with spying on dissidents from hong kong. so what's china up to? gordon corera, the bbc security correspondent, has just started a podcast called shadow war: china and the west. i think it's remarkable at the moment that there are so many cases involving china spying, interference, whether it's in the uk or in other countries. we've seen them in the us, we've seen them in australia. there's a canadian parliamentary inquiry. there's something going on there, i think, in terms of an increased understanding of the kind of activity china undertakes, and it comes for a lot of reasons, one of which is it's a more contested world that we're living in right now, in which power is being contested, in which the different sides are, if you like, grappling and using spies, for all those kind of things that spies do, whether it's espionage or interference, to try and secure

advantage in the world. are western countries doing exactly what the chinese are doing? there's no doubt the west spies wholescale on china, and has done for many years. they've done that through intelligence gathering, through human spies, but also through what's called signals intelligence — gchq, nsa collecting data and sucking up information, intercepting signals. that, if you like, is regular spying. i think what's interesting at the moment is the claim is that china is doing something slightly broader, ratherthanjust, if you like, intelligence gathering. things like going after dissidents, critics of china who are in the west. so whether those might be people related to hong kong or tibet, it might be chinese dissidents who'd been involved in tiananmen square who've come to the west, and that these people, china is going after in a more aggressive way, often using its intelligence services. also, political interference. there are claims of this

in various elections, trying to shape political debate or push who might be able to stand for office. i came across one case which was actually in the us more than the uk, but of a guy called yan xiong who'd been one of the tiananmen square student leaders. he'd escaped, um, this undercover operation called operation yellowbird, into the us, and had lived for 30 years in the us, but then had decided he wanted to run for congress and wanted to see if he could get selected. and that clearly was unacceptable to the chinese authorities, it seems. that's the allegation, at least, because the fbi say they intercepted phone calls from someone in china, hiring or asking a private investigator in the us to go after him, to spy on him, to surveil him, even if necessary to smear him or stage an accident. all because they felt it was unacceptable to have someone who was associated with tiananmen square to be even possibly elected to congress. but i think a lot of it comes down to what the particular sensitivities

are of the communist party of china, and their first priority is domestic security and stability, and the hold of the communist party at home. is it, do you think, um, because culture and language are so different between china and the west that we don't see nearly as much of the kind of things that the russians do in quite large amounts? russia has tried to interfere in elections in the us, famously 2016. it tends to want to just kind of sow division, whereas i think china is a bit more trying to direct debate and influence debate about what is said and what's not said, rather than just sow division and cause difficulties. does it really matter very much? if china is going after dissidents, trying to challenge free speech, that matters, i think, for issues of values, notjust, you know, within western countries. and i think that potentially poses a real challenge for,

um, some of the ways we think our societies should operate. and for the first time, we're starting to see some of that friction points. i think it poses challenges internationally, because i think there's a contest between china and the west over influence globally. and i think it matters because there are still risks of conflict. i mean, there are risks of conflict over taiwan, over accidental escalation in the south china seas. so how far the two sides understand each other really does matter. with a meeting between xi jinping and vladimir putin, is there any question, do you think, that they might kind of co—ordinate their efforts? or is that a nightmare that we don't need to worry ourselves with? they've both found themselves at a moment of increased tension with the west together. and i think for that reason, tactically and opportunistically, they are more inclined to work together. i think if you're china, if the west's ability to support ukraine fails and russia wins, then i think it does damage to the western alliance structure, the confidence of the west,

which may then encourage china to think it can do something in taiwan. there's not huge military cooperation going from china to russia, but there's a bit of support. and i think, you know, the worry from the west is that that could increase and that tensions could grow and that you could be faced with something more like a kind of bloc, you know, in which you've got kind of china and russia working together, and perhaps even iran as well, as part of that mix. and i think there's the potential for that kind of access to become more kind of, more dominant and more dangerous, i think in western eyes, certainly. to the caucasus now. georgia is a former soviet state which, with its christian tradition and its links with the outside world, has long had an ambition tojoin the european union. but its current government, run by a party called georgian dream, has links with russia.

a law which aims to cut foreign influence in georgia was withdrawn last year after big demonstrations, but it's returned now. the new demonstrations have been met with renewed force by the georgian authorities. the law would require organisations which receive more than a fifth of their funding from abroad to register as agents under foreign influence. it's very similar to a russian law which has been remarkably successful in silencing hostile journalists and human rights activists. i spoke to the bbc�*s caucasus correspondent, rayhan demytrie, who's in tbilisi. it's about the funding that nongovernmental organisations get. the bill would require them to label themselves as an organisation that represents foreign power.

the problem is that in georgia there are thousands of nongovernmental organisations and they are what the democracy in this country is built on. we're talking about notjust nongovernmental organisations, but also independent media. and what does georgian dream, the government party, what's its attitude towards the eu? is it in favour ofjoining or is this a way of preventing georgia from joining? well, john, eversince the georgian dream came to power — and that is 2012 — the party then was led by a billionaire, bidzina ivanishvili, who made his fortune in russia. and when he came to power, a lot of people were saying, "0h, now the georgia will change "its course towards russia," because he, perhaps as someone who made his wealth

in russia, represents russian interests. and the georgian dream and bidzina ivanishvili himself, they were denying it. he made a speech not long time ago, when the government organised its own rally in support of the bill, and it was the first time that the public heard kind of a political speech from bidzina ivanishvili in many years. and the comments after this speech were that the masks are off and he hasjust shown his realface. the speech was full of kind of conspiracy theories and it was full of anti—western messaging. he claimed that georgia's 2003 rose revolution was planned by some western powers, that they were the ones behind wars in georgia in 2008 and war in ukraine right now. and what's his line about the eu specifically? for years, the georgian dream government has been saying that they are aligned with this big wish that this country has,

which isjoining the european union. it is even written in the constitution of georgia. so, the government says that they are pro—european. they're very, very friendly with viktor 0rban in hungary and that is perhaps the model that they have chosen. conservative, nationalistic georgia that still wants to become a member of the european union, but under its own terms. and the demonstrations that we've been seeing, do you think they'll die down now or will things continue to bubble along and then perhaps rise up again? i don't think these demonstrations will die down. and we've been talking to so many people over these past weeks. they're mainly young generation. these are gen z of georgia, and they were brought up with the idea that their country would one dayjoin the eu. so what's happening now,

they see it as a pivot in the country's foreign policy and they keep telling us that never, ever back to ussr. and that's how they see it. you know, it is quite black and white. you know, it's either eu or russia. do you think that the georgian dream is kind of fixed in power? will it win another election? this partly what we have been witnessing in the past weeks here in georgia, it is about the upcoming general elections here in georgia in october 2024. critics and commentators are saying that the reason why georgian dream is trying to push for this legislation, perhaps, yes, it's not because they want to turn away from the eu. they want to eliminate this threat, as they see, that is coming from nongovernmental organisations orfrom independent and critical media.

therefore, they are pushing for this law, perhaps to ensure another victory for themselves. cuba's economy has depended heavily on the sugar industry for several hundred years. it's been an important part of cuba's national life, and the people who work in the cane fields have a particular status. but now, the unthinkable is happening. the sugar industry is so uneconomic and badly run that cuba has had to import sugar to meet its demands. it's emblematic of the long decline of the quasi—communist system introduced by fidel castro. will grant, the bbc�*s central america correspondent, told me more. sugar, to cuba, is a staple and has been to its economy for so, so long, you know, since

colonial times and before. so to lose that industry or to see its demise to this point is, you know, is tragic for many cubans. the numbers speak for themselves, that we see an industry that only produced somewhere in the region of 350,000 tonnes of raw sugar last year. well, that's up against 1.3 million tonnes in 2019, so the drop—off has been dramatic. and, of course, the government is starting to cut down on the very, very heavy subsidies that are paid to keep things like petrol prices down. of course, it's just one more thing amid spiralling inflation, amid extreme scarcity of basic goods, amid the sort of rising cost of living and the fact that salaries aren't getting...have really no purchasing power any more. it's just one more thing that's hurting cubans in their pockets, and it is extremely painful at the moment, because this is as hard as it's been for cuba

since the fall of the berlin wall. i remember that time, i was in cuba shortly after the fall of the berlin wall. so, we're talking 1990 that the props were pulled away from underneath the communist economy and it's still going on, what is that, 35 years later? exactly. and, of course, one of the things that was pulled away, one of those props was the sugar quotas to the soviet union, you know, so that was a very, very difficult period. it's known as the special period, euphemistically, about how hard things became, rolling blackouts, again scarcity, really difficult times. well, i know cubans who went through that period and are going through this one and they say this one is worse, mainly because hugo chavez and venezuela's oil wealth came in at the end of the �*90s and sort of re—propped up the cuban revolution. as they look at the sort of international perspective at the moment, they can't see anywhere that a similar kind

of support network is going to come from. what do people in cuba think might be the answer? i mean, when they look out at the outside world, there are plenty of ex—communist countries, as well as communist countries, that aren't doing too badly. are they aware of those parallels? i think they feel kind of hard done by in certain things that were beyond their control, and they do appreciate they're potentially beyond the control of the cuban government, too. and that one of backing the horse of tourism to be the economic motor for the future of the island, only to be hit with the covid downturn and the lack of international travel, i think people appreciate that that's going to take some time to recoverfrom, particularly when, of course, that was also the period that the trump administration and subsequently the biden administration tightened the sanctions on the island at the same time. that has been very, very difficult. but they look, as you say, at the outside world, and they wonder.

they can't see anything getting better with washington and they look at somewhere like vietnam and they wonder quite why they can't replicate that model where there's more, much more economic freedom, economic liberalisation in exchange, as it were, for the political control remaining broadly the same. there is some version of that, perhaps some cuban version of that that might provide a road map out of this economic malaise. but as everything, as you well know, in cuba, the pace of change is glacial. it is such a tragedy, isn't it? i mean, we don't always, i think, appreciate what a lovely country it is and what intensely cultured and clever and charming people. and yet their system, their governmental system can't get it together and never really has been able to. i mean, cuba, the things that it's offered notjust to latin america but to the world is stunning. you know, as you mentioned, its ballet and its cultural offerings, its music. you know, its people are incredible

and their resilience in the face of what they have to put up with, you know, it's quite something. one of the leading economists, if not the leading economist on the island, told me that cuban sugar only receives 3% of government investment, so you simply cannot keep one of the landmark industries going, one of the most iconic industries to the island going if you're only going to give it 3% of investment. and, you know, there's a famous saying on the island that without sugar, there's no country. and unfortunately, that is now being tested to its absolute limits. will grant, speaking from mexico city. ukraine's armed forces are paying a heavy price for the delay imposed by right—wing republicans in the us congress over the $61 billion arms package which the biden administration wanted to send to kyiv. the package has gone through, but the months of delay have put

ukraine thoroughly on the back foot in the war. russian forces have been capturing village after village in the kharkiv region, where the ukrainian army did so well in the early part of the war. those days, when the russian defence minister, sergei shoigu, was in overall charge were disastrous for russia's army. it's taken until now for vladimir putin to push sergei shoigu aside and, probably as a reward for his loyalty, mr shoigu doesn't actually seem to have been demoted. but in his place has come not a military man, but an economics adviser, andrei belousov. at a time when the ukraine war is eating up 7% of russia's gdp, president putin clearly thinks he needs a clever financial brain, rather than a military one, to oversee the war. in the 1980s, the soviet union's defence spending was onlyjust a little bit higher than russia's is today — 7.4% of gdp.

since that's what most analysts believe is what brought the soviet union down, russia needs to make sure it doesn't lose economic control of the ukraine war. and that, in turn, seems to argue that the kremlin now thinks the war could last a long, long time. well, that's it from this edition of unspun world. from the unspun team and from me, until we meet again, goodbye.

at the moment i pay i £60 a month and i have been repaying that ——at the moment i pay £60 a month and i have been repaying that for the last four years to repay my overpayment which was the £11,000. and i will be paying that until i am 73. so i have another 11 years of paying the £60 per month, which takes money out of our income. it is money that would help me run the car, help pay bills, put food on the table, all of those things. 0r people like gina who has also been landed with a bill. i was presented with a bill and that obviously i had been overpaid. and it was a sum of £7,600. receiving that bill was a huge blow because it is a big debt by anyone's standards. even though i was only working part—time and for me it was huge. these latest figures show £251 million is currently owed

by more than 134,000 carers, which works out at an average debt of nearly £1900 each. liberal democrat leader, sir ed davey, who is a carer for his teenage son, has previously called for these debts to be cancelled. it is just unbelievable that the government should be clawing back this money by blaming the carers clawing back this money and blaming the carers when it is the government's own incompetence and the government's flawed system. there is something seriously wrong here. people work hard, they pay their taxes, they look after their loved ones — the government should be incentivising work, helping these carers, and it is doing the reverse. if unpaid carers care for someone for more than 35 hours per week, they are entitled to carer's allowance worth £81.90 a week but they are not allowed to earn more than £151 per week take—home pay. if they do, even byjust a few pence, they lose the entire

allowance, but because they are not realise or are not informed for months or even years, some carers keep receiving overpayments and unwittingly racking up debt. it is really tough. they are shocked and horrified when they get a notice that they have been overpaid and it is devastating for their mental health and then feels really tough paying that back sometimes as well. the department for work and pensions says the total owed by carers includes historical debts, compares to a forecast budget of £4.2 billion on carer's allowance this year alone, and that it is committed to fairness in the welfare system. dan whitworth, bbc news. and dan whitworth willjoin us at 8:30 when we'll be talking more about ca rer�*s allowance. right now, more of the day's use.

right now, more of the day's news. israel's military says it has recovered the bodies of three hostages who were killed by hamas on the 7th october and taken back to gaza. the israel defence forces said they were discovered following "interrogations of terrorists". 0ur diplomatic correspondent paul adams joins us from jerusalem. this promise to bring back every hostage from the israeli government, what do we know about the operation? the israelis are not saying very much at all about how they found the three bodies. all three of the israelis were captured at the nova music festival on october the seventh. 0ne music festival on october the seventh. one of the three, shani louk, became a very well known around the world when images, very disturbing images of her body being dragged back to the gaza strip flashed around the world. she was an

israeli german jewel national and we have no since the end of october that she was dead because the israeli announce a piece of her skull had been recovered. —— dual. there had been hopes the other two hostages had been alive but those hopes unfortunately have been dead. we do not know whether bodies have been recovered. the israeli military fighting both in the north and south of the gaza strip. it could have beenin of the gaza strip. it could have been in either of those two locations but this was a grim reminder to israelis that the longer this war goes on, we're looking at more than seven months now, the prospects of finding the hostages alive are gradually dwindling. 132 israelis remain missing. israelis have already acknowledged at least 40 of those are thought to be dead now we think that perhaps something in the region of something fewer

than 90 hostages remain alive. perhaps fewer than that. at the moment negotiation aimed at trying to organise a ceasefire, which would have the effect of getting those hostages released, those negotiations are going absolutely nowhere. they seem to have been deadlocked the past week and so israelis are probably present themselves as this war goes on for more of this kind of desperately bad news. :, ,, more of this kind of desperately bad news. . , , :, ., more of this kind of desperately bad news. . «i , :, ., ., , ., , news. thank you. that was the latest from jerusalem. _ cctv footage has emerged of the rapper sean �*diddy�* combs physically assaulting his then—girlfriend cassie ventura in the corridor of a hotel in 2016. ms ventura made allegations of rape and physical abuse against him in a lawsuit that was settled last year. combs is at the centre of several civil lawsuits accusing him of sex offences. 0ur los angeles correspondent emma vardy has this report which contains some distressing images. cassie ventura claims she suffered years of abuse

in her relationship with p diddy, one of the most influential artists in hip—hop. in the cctv footage, she is seen leaving a hotel room. sean combs appears to run after her, before carrying out a violent assault. the full tape shows her being kicked as she lies on the ground. after taking her items, next, the rapper seems to be seen throwing an object towards her. the video — obtained by the american news channel, cnn — has not been independently verified, but lawyers for cassie ventura, who has not objected to it being shown, say it confirms p diddy�*s disturbing and predatory behaviour. last month, homes linked with sean combs were raided by police in what they said was an ongoing investigation into sex trafficking. officers searched properties in beverly hills, new york and miami associated with his production company.

cassie ventura had previously brought a lawsuit against sean combs in relation to the incident in the video, said to be at a los angeles hotel. she settled out of court, but since then, several others have come forward, accusing him of sexual abuse. sean combs has previously denied all the allegations. in march, his lawyer called it a witch—hunt. today those lawyers said they no longer represent him. the video appears to corroborate one of the incidents described in cassie ventura's case. her accusations and others against p diddy — a self—proclaimed bad boy — now part of a dramatic downfall for one of hip—hop's biggest names. emma vardy, bbc news, los angeles. the world number one golfer scottie scheffler has been charged by police in kentucky with four offences, including second—degree assault of a police officer. he was arrested just hours before his second round

of you are starting your morning is a little bit grey, misty and murky. a lot of that will blow back during the day but some coasts, over the last few days, it will still lap onshore every now and then. that is one thing to watch out for but for many of you, even if you have some fog around this morning, even away from the eastern coast, a lot of it will break up and dry and sunny weather to come. 0nly will break up and dry and sunny weather to come. only a few showers around but the emphasis is on the word you. an area of high pressure building from the west, but still low pressure dominant to the south and east of the continental europe. storms and showers here over the weekend. bringing some rain towards the southeast corner in the next few hours drifting westwards. mr c fog clearing but some lingering on the coast. —— sea fog. most,

particularly from north wales and north midlands, all the way through the central scotland and northern ireland, lots of sunshine around. a bit cooler in northern scotland today compared with recent days but we will see more cloud here and the sea rolling in again tonight. maybe through to part of the midlands. grey and making conditions until tomorrow morning in the great counties. lingering around some coasts in the east of scotland and northeast england but for much of england and wales, a lot more sunshine around, especially across the south. sunshine breaking through in northern ireland. central and northern scotland cloudy and cooler than recent days. temperatures quite widely into the 20s.

will mist and fog returns into monday morning extensively, but a lot will break up. a fine day, find stud to the week. breeze coming from the north sea means we will see temperatures struggle a bit here. further west, the highest of the temperatures are likely to be in northern ireland, 23 possible. some afternoon showers and a rumble of thunder possible. that would be later in the day. but for all intents and purposes a nice day. a warm start of the week but things will change slowly as we go through the week. no pressure developing over iceland and central europe, almost combining and beating of the uk, turning things cloudier and wetter as well. after a fine start, greater chances of rain, potentially wet wednesday into thursday for some in england and wales. temperatures will fall a bit but a bit above normalfor will fall a bit but a bit above normal for the will fall a bit but a bit above normalfor the time of will fall a bit but a bit above normal for the time of year. that is how it is looking. back to you both.

settle their differences. both champions, both undefeated and both having to walk out of the ring having made history as the first undisputed champion this century. saudi arabia is rapidly becoming a global have for boxing. money has been the stumbling block for making these fight5, but is also provided a solution. but the kingdom i5 splashing the cash. my name is 0leksandr, nice to meet you. nice to meet you. a huge day for the sport and both fighters. a chance to find out who really is the best heavyweight of this generation. ade adedoyin, bbc news, riyadh. it is the final day of the women's super— it is the final day of the women's super league. chelsea's emma hayes could be heading to the usa with another wsl trophy. it's the final day of the women's super league and chelsea are top of the table going into their match against manchester united at old trafford, but they're only ahead of manchester city on goal difference. jo curry reports. this year's title race has been filled with twi5t5 jo curry reports. this year's title race has been filled with twists and

they'll face leed5 at wembley, a week tomorrow. xander schauffele had a more modest second round at the us pga championship, but he's still top of the leaderboard. after shooting a tournament record 62 on friday, he followed it up with a 68 —that moved him to 12—under—par — just one shot clear of the field. the best of the british players are matt wallace and robert mcintyre, who, despite a couple of late dropped shots, had enough birdies to give him a round of 69. they're five shots off the pace. and the valhalla crowd was treated to its first hole—in—one since 1966. sebastian soderberg holing out at the eighth, which is known as float like a butterfly, for golf enthusiasts, that was 169 yards and he took an 8 iron. ferrari's charles leclerc set the pace in both practice sessions ahead of the emilia romagna grand prix. he outpaced mclaren's 05car piastri

in the second session, with the rb of yuki tsunoda a surprise third. championship leader max verstappen was seventh, struggling with his car on the fast corners in the middle sector of the lap. after a rollercoaster season, we are down to the fight for the final two play—off places on the last day of the rugby union premiership regular season. it's the closest it has ever been, with only 11 points separating first place from seventh — all seven teams can still make the play—offs, but northampton saints and saracens have already secured their semi—final places, with exeter and harlequins favourites to join them. if it spent a lot of time looking over our shoulders, we do not give ourselves any chance of winning on the weekend. however hard it may be,

we need to focus on ourselves and what we need to do and we will take what we need to do and we will take what comes. in rugby league, we have a repeat of last year's challenge cup semi—final between hull kr and wigan to look forward to. this is what they're hoping to get their hands on. hull kr won that match last season but they were beaten in the final by leigh. you can see today's match live on bbc one, kick off is at 1:15. that is all the spot for now. charlie is getting very excited about the boxing. it is charlie is getting very excited about the boxing.— charlie is getting very excited about the boxing. it is going to be uite an about the boxing. it is going to be quite an occasion _ about the boxing. it is going to be quite an occasion and _ about the boxing. it is going to be quite an occasion and we - about the boxing. it is going to be quite an occasion and we will i about the boxing. it is going to be quite an occasion and we will chat| quite an occasion and we will chat more. i was a little distracted just a moment ago because i am seeing pictures of a dog festival. the festival season is approaching, and this year, our furry friends are getting involved — with events tailored

moment which could produce some aurora across the far north of scotland side. it was just before the sun sets. but even after sunset, there is a chance if you get the clothes because we could see some aurora but not on the levels we saw last weekend. that is what is happening in the atmosphere well above us. what about closer to where we are? it looks like this weekend will be a pretty decent weekend for many. if you have an outdoor plans. a lot of the time. for most it will be dry and reasonably sunny. some misty foggy mornings to watch out for. there will be some showers. the rent is linked to this area of low pressure over continental europe. this finger of the weather front producing some drops of light rain in east anglia and the southeast, some bursts in the channel itself. it will move to the west. where there is mist and fog, most were clear. but around the north sea coasts it could come on short now and again. into the afternoon, but is a world in southeast england, lovely thunderstorms could pop up.

they will be fairly isolated. most will stay dry. for a fine day. not as warm as recent days in the north of scotland. but in the southwest it could hit 2a degrees, and warm in the sunshine overhead. asj could hit 2a degrees, and warm in the sunshine overhead. as] this evening will fade tonight. more sea fog developing down these eastern areas of scotland, not least england, and we could see one blob put into east anglia, lincolnshire, to the home counties in london area, too. western areas dry through the night and into tomorrow morning. temperatures down into single pages. mr and fog patches elsewhere. late this morning they should sit directed quickly. —— single digits. in southeast scotland, northeast england, clearskies, more clad in northern scotland with one or two showers possible. for the vast area of the country, sunshine. it will be a bit warmer with 23 or 2a possible tomorrow, warmer in the north and

released by hamas showing the british israeli hostage nadav popplewell, who the group said had died in gaza. here's the foreign secretary, lord cameron, speaking on sunday with laura kuenssberg. when you see what hamas are prepared to do, you just realise the terrible, dreadful, inhuman people, frankly, that we are dealing with. and maybe it's a moment, actually for the bbc to ask itself again, "should we describe these people as terrorists"? they are terrorists. if you kidnap grandmothers, you kidnap babies, you rape people, you shoot children in front of their parents — what more do they need to do for the bbc to say, "look, these are terrorists"? they really are. bbc news has instead used a formulation picked up on by a viewer named mark, from aylesbury, who asked...

but kate prasher observed recently... well, we'll be exploring that question in a moment — but it's not the only use of terminology in this area which has caused concern among newswatch viewers. the bbc regularly describes the conflict as the israel—gaza war — unlike other organisations such as sky news, who refer to it as the israel—hamas war. anthonyjones asked...

another use of language which has proved controversial is the frequent reference to the "hamas—run health ministry" as a source of statistics quoted on the news. jack berger wrote to us, saying... well, let's discuss those questions with richard burgess, the director of news content for bbc news. thank you, richard, for coming on the programme. now, we've discussed the way the bbc describes hamas at the very start of this conflict. can you see why people like the foreign secretary are thinking the bbc needs to think again now? well, we've always understood that many people don't agree or necessarily understand this policy, but we think it's an important one.

it's in our editorial guidelines, and we think it's an important point of principle, and let me explain why. you'll have heard hamas referred to as terrorists on many occasions on the bbc, but that we attribute that, we say who is calling them terrorists. and the reason why we don't do it as the bbc labelling them is if we start to label one group and make a valuejudgment about them as terrorists, we would then have to do exactly the same for every armed group, every army, every government, every violent act across the world. and that's not a position that we, as an impartial broadcaster think we should be in, we don't think it's an appropriate position to be in. so we think it's an important principle. ok, now, you always used to use the phrase "designated a terrorist organisation by the uk government" — some viewers are thinking that that phrase is often dropped now. what is the policy? there isn't a policy. i think it's all about the right context for the programme. it's about trying to make the coverage as understandable

for audiences as we possibly can. and so, yeah, we will still use that phrase when appropriate, but there's no policy that we have to always use it. the trouble, i suppose, with this approach is that it kind of pleases no—one, saying the word "terrorist" but distancing yourself from the uk government — either they are the terrorist group, or they're not. i think what we're doing is trying to use attribution and being as clear as we possibly can be about who is describing this organisation in the way that it is. i actually think the more important thing is our coverage of what happened on october 7th, and what has happened to hostages since. i don't think anybody could be in any doubt about what happened then, and what hamas has done — and for me, that is the most important thing. right, another piece of terminology viewers are concerned about is bbc news referring to the "israel—gaza war". other broadcasters like sky say the "israel—hamas war" — would that not be better?

look, we made the decision that we think israel—gaza war is a better description of the conflict, and i think it's stood the test of time, because the war does go beyond just hamas — as is clear when you see the destruction in gaza, the fact that many thousands of gazan civilians have been killed in the conflict. and of course, there are other armed groups beyond hamas in gaza, as well. so we think that israel—gaza conflict, or israel—gaza war is a better description and one that better encapsulates what's happening right now. the other phrase is referring to the "hamas—run health ministry" when quoting palestinian civilian casualty numbers. why that phrase? it's the same thing again, samira, it's about attributing, it's about being as clear as we possibly can be to the audience about where we're getting our information from. i mean, in previous gaza conflicts,

we've had people on the ground who've been able to validate the figures that we've been getting from the health ministry. on this occasion, that has not been the case. and so, we think it's best to be as clear with audiences as we possibly can be where the information is coming from. it does feel like the bbc�*s under pressure afresh around this kind of terminology. are you confident that you'll hold your, position or do you think it might need to be reassessed? i think all the time, we think about, how can we make our coverage as clear as possible for audiences? and on this story, we well know that we will be heavily scrutinised and often criticised. our aim is to provide as impartial coverage as we possibly can do — and that's about listening to both sides, but ultimately taking what we think are the right decisions about having clear—headed coverage. richard burgess, thank you. it's fair to say the duke and duchess of sussex divide opinions —

and some strongly felt reaction towards them and towards the bbc�*s coverage of them has been expressed over the past week. it started with an item on last friday's lunchtime news. prince harry says it's been great to be back in the uk at the end of a three—day visit from america. the bbc has been given exclusive access to a charity event in central london he attended — and daniela relph was there. it's a side of prince harry we've not seen so much of lately, as he mucked in for a very special party. every child in this room has lost a parent who served in the military. the programme went on to report live from nigeria, where prince harry had arrived to meet his wife, meghan — and their trip there featured on news bulletins through the weekend and into tuesday. here are the reactions of two of the many viewers who contacted us. the prince of wales is on official duty today. nothing on the headlines about him,

but covering the ridiculous meghan and harry continuing privacy tour, it's absolutely ridiculous. please stop using our money on covering this pair, thank you. he may be the son of the king, but they walked away. you don't feature princess anne when she's out working, or prince edward, duke and duchess of edinburgh. they are very rarely featured when they're working. why is it necessary to feature the duke and duchess of sussex? we asked bbc news for a response to those views, and they told us.

finally, linda robinson got in touch with us this week and recorded this video for us. i was trying to watch the evening news on 12 may, 6.15pm in the evening, and it was very difficult. i had three video panels across the main part of the screen — one featuring a lady who was being interviewed from tbilisi, about the problems there, another feed from tbilisi in the middle, and a third panel on the right showing the bafta awards advert. citizens responded to this state—sponsored terror with humour...

below that, there were two breaking news panels giving totally different information again. really, this is totally unhelpful. you obviously don't know how much processing people can do at one time. please, please, please, don't put quite so much information on the screen at once. thank you. let us know whether you agree with linda about that screen overload. and thanks to her and to everyone who contacted us this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, on tv, radio, online, and social media, email newswatch@bbc.co.uk. or you can find us on x — formerly known as twitter — at @newswatchbbc. you can call us on 0370 010 6676, and do have a look at previous interviews on our website, bbc.co.uk/newswatch.

that's all from us for now, thank you forjoining us. do think about getting in touch, and perhaps even coming on the programme. i'm afraid i am away next week, but newswatch will be here to hear more of your thoughts about how the bbc covers the news, and i will definitely be back in a fortnight. goodbye. good morning, and welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and charlie stayt. our headlines today... £250 million. that's how much the government says

it's owed by more than 100,000 unpaid carers — who were wrongly overpaid benefits. new cctv images appear to show rapper sean combs attacking his girlfriend in 2016 — following a series of allegations of physical and sexual violence. 48 hours before the long—awaited report into the infected blood scandal is published — we hearfrom several victims fighting for justice. the animosity is bubbling ahead of the biggest fight of the bubbling ahead of the biggest fight of the century. tonight it's the biggest bout this century, as they battle to be crowned undisputed, heavyweight champion of the world. mist and fog will continue to be an issue for some over the next few mornings, but the weekend, by and large, dry. just one or two exceptions, especially in the south this morning.

i'll have the details later. it's saturday the 18th of may. our main story. more than 100,000 unpaid carers are being forced to repay £250 million, after being wrongly overpaid their carer�*s allowance. on average, that means they owe £1800 each — money that many of them say they don't have. radio 4s moneybox reporter, dan whitworth has more. unpaid carers do an incrediblejob caring for a loved one, often day—in day—out, week—in week—out, with few if any breaks, but many tens of thousands of them have unwittingly or accidentally received overpayments of carer�*s allowance and now they have been asked to pay it back. people like karina moon, whose daughter, amber, requires round the clock care. she told breakfast three weeks ago that she is having to pay back £11,000 after unknowingly earning slightly over the claim limit at her part—time supermarketjob. at the moment i pay £60 a month and i have been repaying that for the last four years

to repay my overpayment which was the £11,000. and i will be paying that until i am 73. so i have another 11 years of paying the £60 per month, which takes money out of our income. it is money that would help me run the car, help pay bills, put food on the table, all of those things. or people like gina, who has also been landed with a bill. i was presented with a bill and that obviously i had been overpaid. and it was a sum of £7,600. receiving that bill was a huge blow because it is a big debt by anyone's standards. even though i was only working part—time and for me it was huge. these latest figures show £251 million is currently owed by more than 134,000 carers, which works out at an average debt of nearly £1900 each.

liberal democrat leader, sir ed davey, who is a carer for his teenage son, has previously called for these debts to be cancelled. it is just unbelievable that the government should be clawing back this money and blaming the carers when it is the government's own incompetence and the government's flawed system. there is something seriously wrong here. people work hard, they pay their taxes, they look after their loved ones — the government should be incentivising work, helping these carers, and it is doing the reverse. if unpaid carers care for someone for more than 35 hours per week, they are entitled to carer�*s allowance worth £81.90 a week but they are not allowed to earn more than £151 per week take—home pay. if they do, even byjust a few pence, they lose the entire allowance, but because they are not realise or are not informed for months or even years, some carers keep receiving

overpayments and unwittingly racking up debt. it is really tough. they are shocked and horrified when they get a notice that they have been overpaid and it is devastating for their mental health and then feels really tough paying that back sometimes as well. the department for work and pensions says the total owed by carers includes historical debts, compares to a forecast budget of £4.2 billion on carer�*s allowance this year alone, and that it is committed to fairness in the welfare system. dan whitworth, bbc news. and dan whitworth willjoin us at 8.30 when we'll be talking more about ca rer�*s allowance. and how, and if, it will be back. some of the other stories making the headlines today...

images have emerged involving a major us music star. cctv footage has emerged of the rapper sean �*diddy�* combs physically assaulting his then—girlfriend cassie ventura in the corridor of a hotel in 2016. ms ventura made allegations of rape and physical abuse against him in a lawsuit that was settled last year. combs is at the centre of several civil lawsuits accusing him of sex offences. our los angeles correspondent emma vardy has this report which contains some distressing images. cassie ventura claims she suffered years of abuse in her relationship with p diddy, one of the most influential artists in hip—hop. in the cctv footage, she is seen leaving a hotel room. sean combs appears to run after her, before carrying out a violent assault. the full tape shows her being kicked as she lies on the ground. after taking her items, next, the rapper seems to be seen

throwing an object towards her. the video — obtained by the american news channel, cnn, has not been independently verified, but lawyers for cassie ventura, who has not objected to it being shown, say it confirms p diddy�*s disturbing and predatory behaviour. last month, homes linked with sean combs were raided by police in what they said was an ongoing investigation into sex trafficking. officers searched properties in beverly hills, new york and miami associated with his production company. cassie ventura had previously brought a lawsuit against sean combs in relation to the incident in the video, said to be at a los angeles hotel. she settled out of court, but since then, several others have come forward, accusing him of sexual abuse. sean combs has previously denied all the allegations. in march, his lawyer called it a witch—hunt. today those lawyers said they no longer represent him.

the video appears to corroborate one of the incidents described in cassie ventura's case. her accusations and others against p diddy — a self—proclaimed bad boy — now part of a dramatic downfall for one of hip—hop's biggest names. emma vardy, bbc news, los angeles. israel's military says it has recovered the bodies of three hostages who were killed by hamas on the 7th october and taken back to gaza. the israel defence forces said they were discovered following "interrogations of terrorists". our diplomatic correspondent paul adams sent us this update from jerusalem. the israelis are not saying very much at all about how they found the three bodies. all three of the the israelis were captured at the nova music festival on october the seventh. one of the three, shani louk, became very well known around the world when images, very disturbing images

of her body being dragged back to the gaza strip flashed around the world. she was an israeli— german dual national. and we've known since the end of october that she was dead because the israelis announced that a piece of her skull had been recovered. there had been hopes that the other two hostages might still be alive. those hopes, unfortunately, have been dashed. we don't know where the bodies were recovered. the israeli military is fighting both in the north of the gaza strip and also in the south. so it could have been in either of those two locations. but this was a grim reminderfor israelis that the longer this war goes on, and we're looking at more than seven months now, the prospects for finding the hostages alive are gradually dwindling. i32 israelis remain missing. the israelis have already acknowledged that at least a0 of those are thought to be dead.

and now we think that perhaps something in the region of 90 or slightly fewer than 90 hostages remain to be found alive. perhaps fewer than that. and at the moment, the negotiations aimed at trying to organise a ceasefire, which would have the effect of getting those hostages released, those negotiations are going absolutely nowhere. they seem to have been deadlocked for the past week. and so israelis, i think, are probably bracing themselves as this war goes on for more of this kind of desperately bad news. paul adams in jerusalem. health officials in devon say they expect an increase in cases of a diarrhoea—causing illness, after a parasite entered the water supply there. a total of 46 cases of cryptosporidiosis have been confirmed so far — with more than 100 other people reporting symptoms. south west water said it was �*truly sorry�* for the outbreak

and the company would not stop working until the situation was resolved. the world number one golfer scottie scheffler has been charged by police in kentucky with four offences, including second—degree assault of a police officer. he was arrested just hours before his second round of the us pga championship, following an unrelated incident outside valhalla golf club. alcohol abuse in england costs services £27 billion a year. that's according to research from the institute of alcohol studies, which found that the harms of drinking put an extra strain on the nhs, social services, the criminaljustice system, and labour market. the department of health and social care said it's funding specialist care teams in hospitals in england. rare footage has captured a deep—sea squid wrapping itself around a camera positioned by scientists.

these are extraordinary images, going in for a these are extraordinary images, going infora hug! the dana squid was seen in full attack mode, using its pair of �*headlights' that are attached to its arms, which dazzle its prey before catching it in a death embrace. but then, look, up it pops, nothing to eat there. looks a bit disappointed! from the depths of the oceans, we look towards the skies. there's good news for anyone who missed the aurora borealis last weekend — there could be more displays on the way. this is good news for those of us who went to bed. i missed it all! forecasters say new solar storms are being driven towards earth because the sun is reaching a period of peak solar activity — resulting in spectacular northern

lights — and the sun spot that caused last week's geomagnetic storm will be back in around iii days. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. starting with flooding in germany? this happened in the last 2a as. some of the imagery coming out of north—west germany, and also north—eastern france, this is in saarbrucken. we've seen swollen rivers, 100 millimetres of rainfall in 2a hours, a month and a half for some parts, and that has had massive impacts across the region with extensive flooding, lots of roads and travel impacted also. it will take a while to recover. the reason i'm showing you this is because that weather system is not far away from us. it will have some influence on

our weather today. us. it will have some influence on ourweathertoday. not us. it will have some influence on our weather today. not to the same extent. we have been enjoying the fine weather, this has not been that far away but the cloud has been extending towards us. and it is this weather frontier, extending towards us. and it is this weatherfrontier, which extending towards us. and it is this weather frontier, which will today produce a little rain across southern england, with the odd thunderstorm later but for most, a ridge of high pressure building, so it will be a weekend were predominantly it will be dry and again sonny once we have lost the morning mist and fog. the cloud and patchy rain is already arriving in parts of east anglia and the south—east. some heavier burst through the english channel. that will work its way to the west so it should brighten up across east anglia and the south—east later. still a bit of mist and sea fog around. whilst that fog could linger around. whilst that fog could linger around some coasts, most of you will be dry and bright. a bit more cloud and cooler in northern scotland than over the past few days, the highest

temperatures in south—west scotland, 24 temperatures in south—west scotland, 2a celsius but elsewhere, temperatures widely in the high teens and low 20s. the chance of thunderstorms in wales in the south—west clearing through, mostly dry tonight but then the seaborg return around eastern areas, leading to a murky start tomorrow, and a few fog patches around to start your sunday morning. temperature is very similar to this morning. we think tomorrow morning east anglia and the south—east, that missed a local lad will break up, we could see some of that sea fog lingering around the curse of north—east england and eastern scotland. northern scotland could see the odd shower but for the vast majority it will be dry and sunny. a sunny and warm day across southern areas of england and wales with the highest temperatures around 24 with the highest temperatures around 2a celsius, and a bit cooler around the coast of rabat mist and fog lingers. the dry weather continues into monday for many but we start

with some mist and seaborg. some breezes blowing along the coast of eastern england down towards the english channel. another day of predominantly sunny conditions, and in the west of northern ireland, 23 celsius achievable through the afternoon, and cooler down the east coast thanks to the breeze. and the dry weather should last at least until tuesday but going into the middle part of the week we have two areas of low pressure combining and we will see it, like in germany, bringing some heavy rain, so wednesday and thursday particularly wet across england and wales, some showers elsewhere but we should see some sunshine at times, the week top and tailed by some sunny conditions, temperatures remaining a touch above normal for the temperatures remaining a touch above normalfor the time of temperatures remaining a touch above normal for the time of year. that is the forecast. back to you, charlie and nina. we've been following the stories of those affected by the blood scandal —

where more than 30,000 people in the uk were infected with hiv and hepatitis c after being given contaminated blood products in the 19705 and �*80s. euan mcdougall was just 16 when he died from aids in 1994, after being infected with hiv when having treatment for his haemophilia. his mum, kate, died earlier this year, exactly 30 years after her son. now her ex—husband john says that kate is another victim of the scandal, as she was never able to get over what happened to euan, as our reporter lisa summers explains. family photos show a happy childhood for euan macdougall, but there were worries underneath. as a severe hemophiliac, a cut, a bump ora bruise could be life threatening. you think you are not, but we're probably there. but in the early eighties, a new clotting treatment came along called factor eight.

factor 8, it was just wonderful. it was it was just an entirely different way for hemophiliacs. and you can learn to cycle, playing football, or he was captaining the quiz team. it was night and day. euan was one of a group of around 20 boys treated at glasgow's children's hospital under the care of lead clinician dr michael willoughby. his approach to hemophilia was seen as pioneering. he promoted preventative treatment with parents taught to regularly give factor 8 injections to their children at home. sometimes the blood was sourced from scotland. often it was imported from the united states. evidence was emerging that contamination with hiv or hepatitis c was a growing risk. but despite asking questions, the families were repeatedly told the treatment was safe. every single, row in that is pain and treatment for a bleed. in the pages of this notebook, a record of the devastation of infected blood —

euan contracted hiv at the age of eight. so euan's infection took place back here someplace. one of these batches. by 13, he developed aids from active, healthy teenager. he lost weight. he began to lose his sight. and then in less than a month, he went blind in his left eye, then his right eye started going as well. of all the things that he caught, he said that losing his sight was the worst. which was terrible. ewan's family had already experienced loss through infected blood. his uncle terry was the first scottish hemophiliac to die from aids through infected blood products. and five years ago his parents gave evidence to the inquiry. his mum, kate, is not here to see its conclusion. kate died three months ago. directly, direct consequence of... of all that had gone before. one of these injections, maybe more

than one of those injections, probably lots of those injections were infected with hiv, probably lots of them. and the mother knows that and the son knows that as well, that, you know, the mother injected that into the son. that would play on kate's mind as well. it's been 30 years sincejohn has been to this marina on loch lomond. i suppose i was a bit scared to return to tell you the truth. but it's good to be back. it's unchanged. shortly before euan died, he bought a boat with a settlement payment he received. drove the boat out to the bottom of the loch there. and then euan took over, pushed me out of the way and said, now, let's see what this baby can do, which is his expression. and he then drove it 26 miles up to the top of the loch, and drove it 26 miles back down the loch again. shortly after that trip euan died.

i want people to know euan's story. and i want people to know terry's story and kate now as well. if i don't tell their story, then nobody will. thanks to the mcdougall family for telling that story. it is never easy, as you heard. joining us now is jason evans, founder of the campaign organisation �*factor 8�* and linda smith, who contracted hepatitis c from infected blood. can you explain your story? we don�*t have enough time to do justice to the stories. you gave birth and had a lot of ill—health in the aftermath. i a lot of ill-health in the aftermath.— a lot of ill-health in the aftermath. . , , ., , aftermath. i had six units of blood, and my husband — aftermath. i had six units of blood, and my husband being _ aftermath. i had six units of blood, and my husband being put -

the department of work and pensions says more than £750 million needs to be paid back — which works out as £1800 per carer — and many say it's cash theyjust don't have. dan whitworth, from radio 4's money box, joins us now. you have been very much leading this investigation. what has changed now? if i understand this correctly, we have a number of what the government is chasing, who they are chasing, and the actual scale of the summer. the scale is the important thing we have learned for the first time just this week. that number, £251 million owed by around 134,000 carers. it is a massive number. a quarter of £1 billion. carer�*s allowance, if you are unpaid carers, uk for a loved one or more than 30 hours a week, you are entitled to £81 a week in

allowance. there is limit to how much you can earn, that is £151 take—home pay a week. you are not allowed to go above that because the ideas you're getting carer�*s allowance to supplement your income. the problem is, carer�*s allowance is as a cliff edge benefit. if you are iop above that £151 limit, you lose your entitlement. in a lot of cases, 134,000, your entitlement. in a lot of cases, 131i,000, people have been unwittingly going above that limit, losing their entitlement, but not learners they have lost their entitlement for months, or in some cases even years. entitlement for months, or in some cases even years-— entitlement for months, or in some cases even years. how does it happen in terms of inland _ cases even years. how does it happen in terms of inland revenue? _ cases even years. how does it happen in terms of inland revenue? is - cases even years. how does it happen in terms of inland revenue? is it - in terms of inland revenue? is it when at your end of year it then triggers an investigation into your allowance? is a case—by—case? it is allowance? is a case-by-case? it is actuall a allowance? is a case-by-case? it is actually a lot _ allowance? is a case-by-case? it is actually a lot quicker— allowance? is a case—by—case? it 3 actually a lot quicker than that. the dbp is a month month basis by

hmrc if they go above that limit. that information is not being passed on to carers. it is important to say that carers are obliged to inform the dwp of any change in circumstances, so the emphasis is on them. but that doesn't help when people... i've spoken to a lot of carers over the last week, they say it is a very complicated system. just one form is 27 pages long. this is the nature _ just one form is 27 pages long. this is the nature of _ just one form is 27 pages long. this is the nature of caring, some carers have jobs that are a very ad hoc. they will earn one amount one month, then a lot less the next. it is they will earn one amount one month, then a lot less the next.— then a lot less the next. it is very difficult to _ then a lot less the next. it is very difficult to keep _ then a lot less the next. it is very difficult to keep the _ then a lot less the next. it is very difficult to keep the fitness - then a lot less the next. it is very difficult to keep the fitness £151 l difficult to keep the fitness £151 limit. a lot of people have breach that limit and they just limit. a lot of people have breach that limit and theyjust don't know and that is how it has built up. one lady i spoke to cares for her husband, he relies on a wheelchair, has severe anxiety. essentially, she

didn't realise she had reached this limit. she owes £5,000. unfortunately for her, she is in the process of paying back that money during £1i5 a month. i process of paying back that money during £45 a month.— during £45 a month. i can't deny it has placed — during £45 a month. i can't deny it has placed considerable _ during £45 a month. i can't deny it has placed considerable financial l has placed considerable financial strain— has placed considerable financial strain on— has placed considerable financial strain on others, which makes many of the _ strain on others, which makes many of the things which we could do within— of the things which we could do within him to make john's life, and the family's — within him to make john's life, and the family's life easier, very difficult _ the family's life easier, very difficult to access. a group of people. — difficult to access. a group of people, like ourselves, families who care for— people, like ourselves, families who care for disabled people, are a very vulnerable — care for disabled people, are a very vulnerable group and we are an easy target _ vulnerable group and we are an easy target because we are exhausted trving _ target because we are exhausted trying to— target because we are exhausted trying tojuggle the target because we are exhausted trying to juggle the household, target because we are exhausted trying tojuggle the household, the care, _ trying tojuggle the household, the care, the _ trying tojuggle the household, the care, the income and the bills. a care, the income and the bills. couple of other things to point out. something else we have learned this week is that twice as many women are in debt over this issue as men. that is broadly in line with the fact that twice as many women climb it. nonetheless, it is a stock statistic. this week that will be

mitigated by the equality for human rights. they say this is tax taxpayers' money that they need to get back. but the forecast spent alone on carer�*s allowance is going to be £4.2 billion. that debt we talk about, £251 million, that is historical, so that obviously goes back. ~ , , ., back. where is this heading politically — back. where is this heading politically and _ back. where is this heading politically and also - back. where is this heading i politically and also practically? are begetting situations would people are saying, can't pay, and thenit people are saying, can't pay, and then it may end up in the courts? where it is that part of the practical going? and where is the politics going? the practical going? and where is the politics going?— politics going? the practical is most difficult, _ politics going? the practical is most difficult, because - politics going? the practical is most difficult, because quite l most difficult, because quite frankly if something doesn't happen today or tomorrow, it doesn't make a massive impact on these people's lives because they need to change it now. politically, isense

lives because they need to change it now. politically, i sense that the story is shifting. i've been carrying this on money box on radio 4for three orfour weeks carrying this on money box on radio 4 for three or four weeks now. the tone is shifting. a letter was written in parliament earlier this week outlining what he would like to see happen, he would like to see an audit office investigation in to this. he also said the dwp should be electing carers more efficiently using text messages and e—mails. mel stride is in front of a commission of mps on wednesday, he is going to be expecting questions on carer�*s allowance. the prime minister is being asked questions on carer�*s allowance. a ed davey, a carer himself, leader of the liberal democrats. i sense the politics on this issue is shifting.— this issue is shifting. when you

talk to carers, _ this issue is shifting. when you talk to carers, that _ this issue is shifting. when you talk to carers, that money, - this issue is shifting. when you talk to carers, that money, not this issue is shifting. when you - talk to carers, that money, not many people have that in the bank. it is the emotional burden. navigating your way as a carer is so stressful, and then to have this on top of it. honestly, it is an awful, awful situation. these people arejigging speaking from low income households, they don't have this money. they are doing an incrediblejob for the loved ones, and quite frankly for a wider society. taxpayers would be picking up billions and billions of a bill of these people weren't doing it. it a bill of these people weren't doing it. , ., a bill of these people weren't doing it. it is worth saying, dan has been followin: it. it is worth saying, dan has been following the _ it. it is worth saying, dan has been following the story _ it. it is worth saying, dan has been following the story at _ it. it is worth saying, dan has been following the story at great - it. it is worth saying, dan has been following the story at great length. you can hear more about this story on radio 4's money box. as dan said, looking forward to what will will be a number of key events and issue coming up next week in parliament. taste and issue coming up next week in parliament-— parliament. we will be watching closel to parliament. we will be watching closely to see _ parliament. we will be watching closely to see if _ parliament. we will be watching closely to see if anything - parliament. we will be watching closely to see if anything shifts. j closely to see if anything shifts. time for sport now. another key event we will be watching closely.

it's being described as the fight of the century — for the first time in almost 25 years, we will have an undisputed heayweight champion of the world, as britain's tyson fury faces oleksandr usyk from ukraine. the eyes of the world will be on riyadh, in saudi arabia, where ade adedoyin reports on a contest that transcends the sporting spectrum. 260lbs for tyson fury. facing the biggest challenge of his career, against fellow champion oleksandr usyk. the two going head—to—head in fiery face off. a stark contrast to fury's public appearance a few days ago. i will keep this short. i want to thank god for the victory i've received already. i want to thank everybody involved in putting this massive event on. i want to thank usyk for turning up and challenging me. and that's about it. thank you to the fans who travelled to support me because i know it's tough times the moment

and money is hard sol aim to put on a show. thank you very much. god bless. fury is a master of mind games, but usyk is a tough nut to crack — the ukrainian unfazed by the shoving and shenanigans. my power, it's my family, my wife, my children, my power is my people, ukrainian people, who now support my country. my power here is my friend, my team. all chant: fury, fury! a carnival atmosphere with fury's legendary travelling fans in good spirits. how will it go? knock him out in eight rounds. going to nine. the belt is going back to morecambe bay. i this is the biggest event in heavyweight boxing since these two men fought for the undisputed title 25 years ago. lennox lewis came out on top of evander holyfield to cement his place as the best of his era. it will be a chess match in the first four rounds. in the middle rounds, they will open up. both guys are looking to win.

the bigger guy has longer arms. both have great movement. both want to win. so it will be a great fight. so, maybe tyson fury, you are thinking? i think fury, by points. this is where they will settle their differences. both are champions, both undefeated, and both hoping to walk out of the ring having made history as the first undisputed champion of the world this century. saudi arabia is rapidly becoming a global have for boxing. money has been the stumbling block for making these fights, but has also provided a solution, with the kingdom is splashing the cash. my name is oleksandr, nice to meet you. nice to meet you. a huge night for the sport and both fighters. a chance to find out who really is the best heavyweight of this generation. ade adedoyin, bbc news, riyadh. chelsea's emma hayes could be heading to the usa with another wsl trophy. it's the final day of the women's super league, and chelsea are top of the table going into their match against manchester united

at old trafford, but they're only ahead of manchester city on goal difference. city are away at aston villa. hayes knows what she wants to see this afternoon. we get to hopefully play in front of a sold—out, or close to sold—out crowd at old trafford. and we get the opportunity that you train so hard for, to be in with a shout of the title on the last day. that's all i've asked for from the players. and no matter the outcome, i'm just extremely proud of the efforts of everyone to put us in this position. liverpool managerjurgen klopp has written an open letter to the people of the whole city of liverpool, ahead of his final game in charge of the club tomorrow, saying it was important to say goodbye. klopp took over in 2015, and announced he'd be leaving back injanuary. it's a long, and very warm letter — here's a few lines from it. he says...

"for me, liverpool is the city of open arms. "a place that welcomes you like a son and does not care southampton have moved a step closer to a return to the premier league. they'll take on leeds united in the play—off final after beating west brom 3—1 in the second leg of their semi. it was a far more lively affair than the cagey goalless draw in the first leg — adam armstrong scoring in the second half, before adding a penalty late on. the final is at wembley, a week from tomorrow. one of their more famous supporters was watching on at st mary's last night —

prime minister rishi sunak — a big southampton fan apparently. england women have won their t20 series against pakistan. they went 2—0 up with a game to play after a huge victory at northampton's county ground. player of the match was alice capsey, joint—top scorer with 31, alongside nat sciver—brunt, as england made 144—6. pakistan never got near them. lauren bell took two quick wickets to leave them 9—2, and they collapsed again, losing their last five wickets forjust eight runs as they crumpled to 79—all out. england winning by 65 runs. the final game is tomorrow. ferrari's charles leclerc set the pace in both practice sessions ahead of the emilia romagna grand prix. he outpaced mclaren's oscar piastri in the second session, with the red bull of yuki tsunoda a surprise third. championship leader max verstappen was seventh, struggling with his car on the fast corners in the middle sector of the lap.

just not really feeling comfortable in the car, moving around a lot, it's very easy to lose the car. so, yeah, a few things we have to look at, because today definitely, it is bad. i mean, it's not comfortable. also, the long run was really bad. so, yeah, definitely a few things we have to improve if we want to be competitive. xander schauffele still leads the us pga championship, after a more modest second round. after opening with a tournament record of 62, he followed up with a 68. that moved him to i2—under—par — just one shot clear of the field. the best of the british players are matt wallace and robert mcintyre, who — despite a couple of late dropped shots — had enough birdies to give him a round of 69. they're five shots off the pace.

we are enjoying the various southampton fans watching the club. our favourite was the dancer. will you be bringing him back? i our favourite was the dancer. will you be bringing him back?- you be bringing him back? i will, 'ust for you be bringing him back? i will, just for you- _ you be bringing him back? i will, just for you. highlight _ you be bringing him back? i will, just for you. highlight of- you be bringing him back? i will, just for you. highlight of my - just for you. highlight of my morning. — just for you. highlight of my morning, except _ just for you. highlight of my morning, except from - just for you. highlight of my morning, except from matt, just for you. highlight of my i morning, except from matt, of course, especially when he's talking about later on. a bit murky out there for some, quite foggy, too. this was norfolk captured by one of our weather watchers. why is at this time of year at this sort of fog happen more than any other time? the reason is, the sea temperatures are still quite low. and at the moment, it is around 11, 12 degrees around most parts of ii, 12 degrees around most parts of the uk. pretty warm air over head. the sea temperatures don't really pique until late september, october.

the air can stagnate, over the north sea that can cause fog to form on the surface of the sea. you get a bit of a breeze blowing towards the uk and that will take some of the fog and, particularly by night, and that leads to the grey and misty mornings. most of eclair is when the sunshine comes out. that's why we continue to see a few fog patches around the coasts into the afternoon. for most of you, shaping up afternoon. for most of you, shaping up to be a pretty decent weekend. lots of sunshine. not completely dry, an area of low pressure has been pushing in off germany. patchy rain this morning in south—east england. as this waterfront extends eastward, you could see heavy showers and thunder storms blew across wales and the south—west. mist and fog will clear for most, lingering around coasts. a misty day in northern scotland, not as warm as

of late. still warm for the time of year. the sunny of the weather across parts of southern scotland, northern ireland, northern england, and later in off wales and the midlands. through tonight, mist and sea fog will return, particularly of northern and eastern areas. the showers we do have will fade away and that sea fog will gradually cleared away tomorrow to allow a bit more sunshine for england and wales. a bit more cloud low for scotland. bridgerton has been a fan favourite on netflix forfour years — and now it has returned for a third outing. set in the early 18005, the series showcases the regency era with its decadent gowns and grand ball rooms. and grimsthorpe castle, in lincolnshire, has served as the backdrop to some of this year's scenes. let's take a look at how the filming went.

we've been open since about 1978, so we've been open a long time. but you don't really see us, you know, that much on the internet or anything like that. so, yeah, seeing usjust randomly scrolling through your phone, you're like, oh, there's grimsthorpe castle in a little advert by netflix. yeah, it was really cool. you look especially beautiful tonight, miss featherington. this is the vanbrugh hall and this is where they filmed their ballroom scene. and it was amazing. so, they they hung these beautiful blue curtains and they made sure they matched the colours, blue and gold, to the grimsthorpe colours. so, we're blue and gold. so this floor you can see is stone and marble. and because they wanted to bring in 200 dancers, film crews, as you can imagine, that's heavy trolleys, lots of cameras, lots of lights, so they built a fake floor.

it was the first night, they filmed coming out of a carriage and they came in the doors and you could just see theirfaces change. they sort of were acting, came in and then theyjust stopped, looked around and were like, "wow!" and they said it was amazing and that it was one of the most beautiful properties they've actually filmed in, so that was nice to hear. i'm really hoping it's going to bring more visitors to grimsthorpe, more visitors to lincolnshire and a slightly different demographic as well, maybe a younger audience that don't normally visit stately homes. we'rejoined now by emma naomi, who plays alice mondrich in the series. we loved having a peep behind the scenes there to see what goes into turning a castle round like that so you cannot walk in and it feels exactly like the regency period. it is fantastic, there is a lot of hard

on the i3thjune. have to wait a little while for the second half. do you ever write postcards colours i write letters of the time. when the last time you brought a postcard pairs back in the pairs day, you were almost expected to send a postcard from wherever you were in the world. but nowadays it's all changed. nobody does this any more. they all get their phones out instead. and that's why in bridlington, one shopkeeper says that the great british tradition of sending seaside postcards is over. now you maybe sell one a month,

maybe one every couple of months. you know, honestly, it's a dying sort of traditional line. people do more buy them in the gift boxes with the fudge and that now. but apart from that, like i said, we have the selection there, but nobody really bothers with them any more. so is it really game over for the humble postcard? you still send them ? yeah, occasionally. it's a little bit of fun in it. if you're at the seaside, you're buying these old false cards, you're not sending anything important. it's just a bit of a giggle. i still send some some quirky ones to friends just to say hello. so yeah, i do. i still buy them. we don't send them. they don't send generally, you know, it's email now. and that sort of thing. people should still buy them. when was the last time you did? probably a long time ago. but if you do still love postcards, then don't despair. over their 160 year history, they've been a fashion

that keeps coming back. postcards had a revival for the second world war. they have a further revival in the 60s and 70s with an explosion of postcard clubs. so who's to say that they won't come back again one day? though, of course, if postcards do make a comeback, even in bridlington, don't expect them to arrive on time. crispin rolfe, bbc news. headlines are coming live from london, this is bbc news... as ukraine comes under growing military pressure from russia, president zelensky admits a shortage of recruits is damaging morale. translation: of recruits is damaging morale. taste translation: of recruits is damauuin morale. ~ ., ,
