there, no meals or hot drinks will be served when the seat belt sign is on. also, cabin crew will be asked to sit back in their seat and buckle up to sit back in their seat and buckle up themselves and any loose items around the galley or cabin will be made secure. essentially, they are doing this because it is thoughts that when turbulence hit this flights, meals were being served at that time and so are lots of people were getting their food, not strapped into their seats and if you look at the pictures of the aeroplane afterwards, there is food strewn all over the place so singapore airlines have identified this as an area where they could improve in—flight safety. ghgre this as an area where they could improve in-flight safety. are there any implications _ improve in-flight safety. are there any implications for _ improve in-flight safety. are there any implications for other - improve in-flight safety. are there any implications for other airlines l any implications for other airlines now? �* , ., , , now? i'm sure others will be looking at this, it is — now? i'm sure others will be looking at this, it is not _ now? i'm sure others will be looking at this, it is not singapore _ at this, it is not singapore airlines alone that faces turbulence. a lot of the time it can

be predicted which is why you see on a flight the safety seat belt sign is on before they actually hit the turbulence and that is in this particular case, it is thought the sign only came on a few seconds before this turbulence hit, not allowing people time to prepare for the turbulence. other airlines will be looking at this and saying they don't want a similar thing to happen. one person died and there are still 14 or so people in hospital in bangkok where they were forced to divert and land. some have quite serious injuries. no airline passenger wants this to happen. an extraordinary moment in

call of duty video games and began manufacture of protein dangerous weapons to teens like the our correspondents set this update. this was one of correspondents set this update. t“i 3 was one of the worst school shootings in us history and these are wrongful death lawsuits targeting not only the gun manufacturer, the 18—year—old responsible, but also in these lawsuits targeting the video game call of duty and instagram. the claim being these organisations collaborated to market assault style weapons to teenage boys. these adolescent boys were in effect groomed to carry out their violent video game experiences, things they had watched, but they would carry out these fantasies in real life. instagram's parent company meta are

accused of having lax oversight of this process. these lawsuits are quite different to another one, another multi—million—dollar lawsuit with over 100 law enforcement officers, officers who entered the scene of the shooting. but as has been widely reported and criticised in the justice been widely reported and criticised in thejustice department report, it was a response that was lacking in urgency and took more than an hour, 77 minutes for the officers to eventually move into the school where the government was and were indeed young people had been dying. so a widely criticised response and now the subject of this huge lawsuit. what is happening here is the accountability on the part of individuals and organisations that the families of the victims had been calling for for the families of the victims had been calling forfor much the families of the victims had been calling for for much of the past few years. it's a big day for machunians today, as the city's rival football teams

go head to head in the fa cup final at wembley stadium. kick off is at 3pm. manchester city are aiming to do the "double—double" — winning the league title and fa cup twice in a row. while manchester united manager erik ten hag goes into the game with reports swirling that he could be sacked whatever the outcome this afternoon. here's our sports correspondent natalie pirks and on his whistle, we are underway... last year, fans were still taking their seats in the wembley sunshine when manchester city captain had them on their feet again. incredible! not many would bet against more of the same today, such is the domination of manchester city. after winning the league for a fourth successive time, they are now attempting another historically, the first team they are now attempting another historic feat, the first team in history to achieve back—to—back doubles. the finals against teams like united, it is always united, and in the premier league, no one was better than them, more consistent than them. the important games

against the top six. always perform well. and the players know it. it will be a completely different game. city have continued evolving, the united managerial door has been revolving. erik ten hag's future looks shaky with reports that today could be his last match regardless of results. we will see how it goes. but he has not really had a crack of the whip. hopefully we will see how it goes in the future and see what happens. give it a couple of years and we should be back up there. i am nervous. i never go against my own team but it is going to be hard. they are clearly a more talented team but it is a cup final, - a one—off, just have got to hope

that the luck is on our side - and we can do the job. take a bit of glory - for ourselves for a change. united almost missed out on the final after throwing away a 3—0 lead over coventry city, eventually needing penalties to scrape through. it was symptomatic of a season where injuries in key positions so united league goals forfun. no goalkeeperfaced more shots than onana. we have the opportunity to beat the blues. we have to take it. but we will not change it that much. it has been difficult for all of us. my team—mates and myself. same teams, same venue, same outcome? united will be praying their season to forget does not end in a case of deja blue.

let's hear from a let's hearfrom a man let's hear from a man city fan. always a bit of nerves before a big final, a big game, especially when you play united but we have every reason to feel confident. feeling pretty confident. every reason to feel confident and with that comes the pressure of the expectation. yes, that's right. there is a lot of pressure on the team in particular. we are expected to win, i guess. i think if we don't win today, then there will be a lot of criticism coming our way but we have every reason to feel good about today. the double—double would be something, wouldn't it? really spectacular. again, it has not been done before. plenty of teams have done the double but to do it twice in two years in succession would be a great achievement for us and again it is another record that we have actually set for ourselves as well. it is pretty tough for manchester united,

this plant was last seen in the mountains of north wales back in 1962 and was killed off by collectors, grazing animals and habitat loss. a cutting was saved by a schoolteacher who put it in his garden. the national trust have helped bring the species back whether now. it's a bit warmer today. more sunshine around as well, but it's not dry everywhere, as we'll see in just a moment. but the headline really for the rest of the bank holiday weekend is going to be a mixture of some warm sunshine, but we are going to find some heavy and thundery showers breaking out as well. but this is what's been happening recently, this cloud is heading into the southwest, starting to bring some rain. also have this cloud spoiling the weather across parts of east anglia, moving into lincolnshire, up towards the north—east of england, there's a bit of rain in that. but we could make 20 degrees around the moray firth, perhaps into merseyside and down towards the london area as well, where we're seeing some sunshine, just one or two showers perhaps. there's that first area of cloud, though, that's coming in from the north sea —

that will bring some heavy rain northwards into scotland overnight. and this rain coming in to the southwest will pivot northwards and eastwards across england and wales. so a lot of cloud around overnight. it is going to be turning wetter overnight as well and those temperatures typically down to ten or 11 degrees. so we start with those two areas of rain. you can see they're going to be moving their way northwards through the day. that rain should move away from scotland. and then following on from that, we'll get some sunshine. we'll also see some showers. now, those showers could turn heavy and thundery. the greater risk of those slow moving thundery downpours will be across northern england, parts of the midlands, towards norfolk and perhaps into suffolk as well. these are the temperatures we're looking at. because there are more showers around, the temperatures aren't going to be quite as high as today. could make 19 though across east anglia and the southeast. those thundery showers still there into the early evening. they will tend to fade away, that wet weather moving its way northwards into scotland and then tending to clear away a bit overnight. heading into bank holiday monday, well, we await more

weather fronts coming in from the atlantic next week. still got low pressure close by and that's going to bring with it some more showers, maybe not quite as wet as it was looking earlier on for bank holiday monday. most of the heavy thundery showers towards parts of scotland, maybe the north—east of england. there'll be a few showers around elsewhere, but it's likely to be a better day, i think, for bank holiday monday across northern england, much of the midlands and for east anglia as well. those temperatures around 16 or 17 degrees. and those temperatures aren't going to change a great deal through the rest of next week. we'll have a south—westerly wind for a while. later in the week it may turn northwesterly and cool down in the northwest, but the week ahead is going to remain unsettled. yes, there'll be some sunshine at times, but there will be some spells of rain or some showers. some of them perhaps on the heavy side.
