welcome along to the programme. let's start with arne slot, who says the opportunity to work at one of the biggest clubs in the world was "difficult to ignore" as he was confirmed as liverpool's new head coach. the reds had already agreed a compensation deal worth £91; million with feyenoord. he replaces jurgen klopp, who had been in charge of liverpool since october 2015. here's our correspondent andy swiss. he has signed a three—year contract. he will officially start at liverpool on 1june, after they agreed a deal worth more than £9 million,

which gives you an idea which is how highly they rate arne slot. also worth noting he's been announced as the head coach of liverpool rather than the manager as part of their new—look structure under their new sporting director richard hughes. why have they gone for him? he has enjoyed a lot of success in his three years at the club. last year they won the title but they finished in the dutch league second. there's quite a few similarities with jurgen klopp. like klopp, he was a fairly unremarkable player who has been far more successful as a manager than a player. he has a reputation for playing dynamic, exciting football and being an excellent man manager who gets the best out of his players. he had the backing of klopp on the pitch, and urging fans to get behind their new man. but one thing is certain — arne slot has a pretty tough act to follow.

elsewhere, chelsea are set to announce lyon boss sonia bompastor as their new manager after the champions league final this weekend. the 43—year—old is lined up to replace emma hayes, but is aiming to bow out at lyon on a high in that champions league final against barcelona on saturday. the announcement is expected after that show—piece event, and bompastor�*s assistant manager, camille abily, will alsojoin her in west london. ahead of the paralympics this summer, a french disability charity says it is "absolutely scandalous" that more hasn't been done to improve accessibility on the paris metro network. with 100 days to go before the games start, campaigners are calling the city's underground system a "black spot" on its paralympic legacy. our disability news correspondent nikki fox has more. the packed streets of this european capital are going to get even busier this summer when the olympic

and paralympic games come to paris. but for social media star arthur, getting around the city is not easy. it is my dream to take the metro. i think it's a little bit shame that there is only one lane of metro for... i think in the international city like paris, it's not normal. and according to one leading disability charity, it's profoundly disappointing. translation: the legacy is extremely weak and - so, here, we are hoping for the success of inclusive games to trigger an electroshock effect, to make people understand that the daily life of disabled people is absolutely not the same as other citizens. nicholas loves a night out in paris. but getting to this boat party on the seine was not a quickjourney.

bonjour! because he can't use the metro, his journey is longer and its starts by getting this train. it's accessible, so it's doable. although he told us he can't always count on the same kind of support he's had while we were filming. you think things might change after the paralympics? yeah, i hope so. i definitely hope so. in 2012, it was a bit better. yes. so i hope the same will happen. the french government has invested 125 million euros to make paris more accessible. the committee was hoping the games would make more of a mark on the city's transport system. we wanted it to have an impact, but there is a legislation issue that didn't allow it to happen. it's a big, huge city. it's a challenge.

if the metro system is unacceptable, it does have an impact. one of the company that operates public transport in the city is ratp. it says it's made a number of improvements ahead of the games. but if nicholas wants another night out in paris, he will have to do this kind ofjourney all over again. if he could use the metro, it would take him half the time. it's not going to stop him enjoying his life, though. you have to fight for your rights all the time. all — all the time. nikki fox, bbc news. scottie scheffler�*s court date has been delayed until 3 june following his arrest during the us pga championship at valhalla last week. the world number one was arrested on friday after trying to drive into valhalla golf club in heavy traffic and his arraignment date had been set for tuesday, 21 may. scheffler was charged with second—degree assault,

third—degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer. all charges, which scheffler denies, still appear on the docket. the iii—time french open winner rafa nadal has shown up at roland garros, but his participation at the grand slam is still farfrom certain. the 37—year—old spaniard emerged with his coach carlos moya to reacquaint himself with the famous red clay courts. he only reached the second round of the recent italian open. the tournament begins on sunday and it remains unclear whether the 22—time grand slam winner will play in what is expected to be his final season. finally, a runnerfrom in the uk has started a record—breaking attempt to become the fastest person to complete the countries three peaks challenge. 24—year—old imogen boddy is running 422 miles over the uk's highest mountains — ben nevis in scotland, scafell pike in england,

and snowdon in wales. the previous record from sea—level to sea—level is seven days and 31 minutes, and was set in 1979. nicola rees caught up with imogen before she set off. you have to run 100km every day for seven days. can you do it? i can do it, yes. yes, she can! at this stage, it's all about the positive attitude. imogen boddy set her sights on a running record and wants to be the fastest to compete in the national three pea ks challenge. it is a huge challenge. i have trained unbelievably hard. i feel ready but i'm nervous. i think the biggest challenge is the point where you're four and a half days in. very fatigued. coach chris is in charge of logistics. for months, he's had imo running

100 miles a week. a quick sprint? go on, then, go! all the hard work has been done, it isjust keeping her calm and controlled. we've been out training in six inches of snow. nowjust about ignoring things we can't control, remembering all the hard work she's put in and being ready to go when it's time. three big mountains. we start at sea level. running through the next, hiking overand then running to the next. 420 miles, 16 marathons back to back, shot to reach the top of ben nevis, scafell park and snowden in wales. do you recognise that gate? yeah. just past cameron house. the current record stands at seven days and 31 minutes. it was set in 1979 by a british race walker. they underestimated how fast that woman could walk.

she could walk at five minutes an hour and only take... she only took a 15—minute break. she is an inspiration, and it will be hopefully a very cool thing to break. this was the support crew back then. today, it's much the same. imo's mum and dad will be on hand with food and dry clothes. i think i've been making lots of these. she's very headstrong, isn't she. very determined. when she's running, she has a tracker and we will stop every 10km, so we will be at the designated spots every time with all the refreshments and... change of clothing, socks. i've trained unbelievably hard with a lot of practice. - nutrition and hydration. it's going to be - unbelievably tough, so it's definitely not going to be easy. i i have absolute faith that she will beat this record. make no mistake, it will take every ounce of her strength. imo has form. two years ago, she ran

the length of the uk, becoming the youngest female to complete the challenge. this time, she's aiming higher. three peaks world record, here i come! nicola rees, bbc news. and the best of luck to her. that's it from us. bye— bye. hello. we have had some late spring sunshine over recent days, also a few showers around — and we'll see a few more of them over the next few days. in fact, between tuesday and friday, the weather turns more unsettled. this is the rainfall we're expected to accumulate — and you can see, particularly across the northeast of scotland, some places will see close to 100 millimetres of rain by the end of the week, so things certainly turning more unsettled gradually. as for tuesday, after a bit of a misty, murky start, some scattered showers building during the afternoon,

but they will be fairly hit—and—miss. i think tuesday will dawn with some sea fog across the far northeast of scotland, aberdeenshire towards orkney, also some mist and fog around some other north sea coasts, northern ireland, too. some patchy rain i think almost anywhere by the afternoon, but the areas most likely to see it, perhaps some heavy showers for the southwest of england, 1—2 in the southeast, could be some thunderstorms around. showers fairly few and far between across parts of wales, northern england, but some heavy, potentially thundery ones likely tuesday afternoon across northern ireland, and a scattering of showers for central parts of scotland, as well. some areas staying a little bit murky close to the north sea coasts all day tuesday, and that sea fog will roll back in across parts of scotland as we head overnight into wednesday. we'll also start to see more persistent rain working in across this zone of eastern england and central scotland. and it'll be quite a mild night, with those temperatures staying well in double figures. now, into wednesday — and low pressure looks like it'll move in from the near continent, and just push its way gradually further north across parts of northern england and scotland, as well.

so you can see the blue and green colours indicating the more persistent spells of rain we're likely to see on wednesday around the east coast in particular. for northern ireland, wales, perhaps central and southern england, it'll be a day of sunny spells and some scattered showers, but temperatures down a notch compared to recent days — so highs between about 17—19 for most, but a little bit cooler close to some of those coasts. into thursday, we've still got low pressure — this time, it stalls across scotland in particular, so it's feeding in more moisture for parts of highland, aberdeenshire, for instance, as well. could be some localised flooding as those rainfall totals mount up. elsewhere, some sunshine, a few scattered showers, especially around some of those north sea coasts, and it is that bit cooler. so the middle of the week, fairly unsettled, some showers on the cards. it does look like the showers become fewer towards the weekend, and for some of us, those temperatures will be on the rise once again. bye— bye.

live from washington, this is bbc news. the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court seeks an arrest warrant for israel's prime minister, its defence minister, and three hamas leaders for war crimes. iran observes five days of mourning after a helicopter crash killed the country's president. and a "national day of shame for britain" as an inquiry into infected blood in the country's

national health service says thousands of people were failed. hello, i'm caitriona perry. you're very welcome. president biden is rejecting allegations from the international criminal court's chief prosecutor, who is seeking arrest warrants for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and defence minister yoav gallant. the prosecutor, karim khan, is accusing the two of conducting war crimes and crimes against humanity in gaza. mr khan has also applied for arrest warrants for three leaders of hamas, for war crimes and crimes against humanity in connection with the october 7th attacks in israel. speaking at a jewish heritage month celebration at the white house, biden said there is no equivalence between israel and hamas. let me be clear, contrary to allegations against israel made by the international court ofjustice, what's happening is not genocide.

we reject that. and will always stand with israel
