area of the strip. hostages noa argamani, almog meirjan, shlomi ziv and andrey kozlov were freed during what the israeli defence forces have described as a "high risk and complex operation" from two separate buildings. this is the moment noa argamani was reunited with her father after eight months being held hostage — she also spoke on the phone to prime minister benjamin netanyahu. you may remember seeing footage of noa being carried into gaza on the back of a motorbike, shouting "don't kill me", after being kidnapped with her boyfriend from the music festival. her boyfriend avinatan or is thought to remain captive in gaza. all four of the relaesed hostages are being treated at a hosptial in tel aviv — they're said to be in good medical condition. this was shlomi ziv and his wife speaking for the first time in eight months.

the al—aqsa martyrs hospital. a hosptial spokesperson said that more than 200 people have been injured. there've been wild celebrations in israel, with the rescue announced by loud speaker on beaches and cheered on the streets of tel aviv. the hostage families group called it a "miraculous triumph". prime minister benjamin netanyahu has spoken after visiting the hostages in hospital. israeljust carried out a remarkable rescue operation, four hostages held by hamas. this operation required ingenuity and courage of the highest degree. it's and our soldiers performed in an unmatchable way. we're committed to getting the release of all the hostages, and we expect hamas to release them all. but if they don't, we'll do whatever it takes to get them all back home. hamas is committing war crimes every day, including the holding of these hostages. our soldiers are performing in the most valiant and moral way
5:04 pm
to end this war with a victory against these killers and against these kidnappers. and we shall prevail. thank you. many people in gaza have been criticising hamas in the wake of the hostage rescue. let's speak to rushdi abualouf, who is in istanbulfor us. what have they been telling you? i think the people were quite angry about the number of people killed in this rescue operation. some of them have told me hamas should have accepted the ceasefire proposal that has been on the table for quite a long time. instead of going in and killing people to get the hostages, they could have been released for an exchange of palestinian prisoners in the israeli jail. some people expressing their views towards the other side. they were defending
5:05 pm
hamas and saying what's happened is very little compared to the period of this war, eight months. one person told me they managed to rescue four people after four months, and this is very little achievement where they have been defeated many times in many places and hamas was able to kill some of them. so very divided palestinians, as always. they always divided about theissue as always. they always divided about the issue of hamas. many people are supporting what hamas is doing in gaza, and keep defending them. but today, we notice that many, many people, in a very rare way, were criticising hamas. one person, he lost his family, as far as i remember, two months ago in one of the air strikes. he wrote, why keeping hostages among a very crowded refugee camp, in a market, and put all of those lives at risk?
5:06 pm
some even went more far, and said, those who are sitting in doha, in qatar, controlling our life, go home. , , ., qatar, controlling our life, go home. , ., , , qatar, controlling our life, go home. , ., , ,., ., home. just to pick up on that, because it _ home. just to pick up on that, because it does _ home. just to pick up on that, because it does seem - home. just to pick up on that, because it does seem unusual home. just to pick up on that, i because it does seem unusual to home. just to pick up on that, - because it does seem unusual to hear those voices, people actually having these views and having their names published, with views against hamas in this way. how are you interpreting this? do you think this is a change, a significant change within gaza, about how they feel about hamas? i within gaza, about how they feel about hamas?— about hamas? i think people are lookin: about hamas? i think people are looking for— about hamas? i think people are looking for day-to-day _ about hamas? i think people are looking for day-to-day survival l about hamas? i think people are| looking for day-to-day survival in looking for day—to—day survival in gaza, they are too busy dealing with the difficulties that they are facing in gaza, and the misery that they are living. it is very rarely that we have seen people, even mentioning their name, writing on facebook freely. this shows the pressure on hamas also from their
5:07 pm
own people in gaza, when it comes to... the news today was really shocking, the number of people killed. some of the figures talking about 200 people. still not confirmed by the health ministry run by hamas. there is real anger in gaza towards hamas because of that. thank you very much for that update. let's speak to nick maynard, a surgeon who's spent time in gaza, most recently in the spring of this year. tell us a little bit about the situation for what you are hearing from colleagues on the ground about how the hospitals can cope with these mass casualty events? thank ou for these mass casualty events? thank you for asking _ these mass casualty events? thank you for asking me _ these mass casualty events? thank you for asking me on. _ these mass casualty events? thank you for asking me on. the - these mass casualty events? thank you for asking me on. the short - you for asking me on. the short answer is they can't cope. i left that hospital four weeks ago, i have two weeks there over christmas and new year, and alexa hospital is small, it normally caters for about 150 patients. in two hospital. when
5:08 pm
i was there it had 850 patients, working closely over capacity. —— in al—aqsa hospital. i have spoken to my colleagues there. they have had nearly 300 trauma victims come in since last night, and completely overwhelmed the hospital. they can't begin to cope. the whole triage process, the privatisation process, it collapses. so many people will be dying of injuries that otherwise they might be saved from if they have sufficient resources. it has overwhelmed the health care system and there is no other real hospital for them to go to. al—aqsa, although it's a small hospital, remains the only partially functioning hospital in the middle and the south of gaza. they have sent some people to another medical complex, which was completely disabled by the israeli military force a few weeks ago. now
5:09 pm
beginning to take some patients again. some can go there, but it is overwhelmed completely, the whole health care system in the middle and south of gaza. health care system in the middle and south of gaza-— south of gaza. imagine your colleagues _ south of gaza. imagine your colleagues there _ south of gaza. imagine your colleagues there have - south of gaza. imagine your- colleagues there have messaged you and said nearly 300 trauma victims were brought in. how do you start to go about... you sent the creative process falls apart, and we can see from the pictures, it is super crowded and people milling around almost everywhere within the hospital. tell us how you cope with that level of pressure, in order to treat people. that level of pressure, in order to treat people-— that level of pressure, in order to treat people. you can't treat them all. it's a lottery _ treat people. you can't treat them all. it's a lottery as _ treat people. you can't treat them all. it's a lottery as to _ treat people. you can't treat them all. it's a lottery as to who - treat people. you can't treat them all. it's a lottery as to who gets i all. it's a lottery as to who gets treated. and i was there over christmas and new year, we had a huge amount of victims coming in from nuseirat and other camps, not quite with the volumes we have seen now. when you have dozens of severely injured children, women, young men coming in, you cannot deal
5:10 pm
with all of them. can't triage them, there is a saying, it's felt that those with families who shout the loudest are more likely to get the appropriate care. it is chaos, with families dragging doctors and nurses to see their loved ones and say, please treat them. there is no organised system with that volume of work to treat these patients. so it ends up becoming a bit of a lottery. and it is very, very clear there will be patients dying who could otherwise have been saved. thank you ve much otherwise have been saved. thank you very much indeed _ otherwise have been saved. thank you very much indeed for— otherwise have been saved. thank you very much indeed for your _ otherwise have been saved. thank you very much indeed for your thoughts. . let's speak to our correspondentjon donnison. a mixed tale today from some relief in israel and some anger within gaza about the casualties there.— about the casualties there. yeah, very contrasting _ about the casualties there. yeah,
5:11 pm
very contrasting scenes. - about the casualties there. yeah, very contrasting scenes. huge - very contrasting scenes. huge celebrations in israel and massive relief, in particularfrom the hostages' families, but in gaza, horrific scenes as the doctor there was just describing. at the main hospital in central gaza, we saw children being brought in, bloodied, in the streets, near to where the raid took place. there was a market, it was densely populated, when the raid was taking place, with video of bodies laid out in the street. this was a high risk operation that relied, according to the israeli military, very much on surprise. they say they decided to carry out the operation in daytime because, even though the risk was greater in the day, it allows them to get this element of surprise. they said they had been planning it for weeks, including building mock—ups of the apartment building where the raid took place. their special forces trained on those buildings in the
5:12 pm
run—up to the operation. we trained on those buildings in the run-up to the operation. we have had reaction from — run-up to the operation. we have had reaction from mr— run-up to the operation. we have had reaction from mr netanyahu, - run-up to the operation. we have had reaction from mr netanyahu, the - reaction from mr netanyahu, the israeli prime minister, haven't we? yes, and for him, this is clearly a boost, because he will be able to say, look, his strategy is working. he believes the best way to get the hostages out is to apply military pressure on hamas. you can say, look, today, that has worked. at the same time, there remain 116 people seized on october 7th being held in gaza. 41 are believed to be dead. we did hearfrom the israeli military spokesperson who said he believed a deal was the best way to get a large number of hostages out. it has to be said, those negotiations for a ceasefire, which are ongoing at the moment, don't look to be getting anywhere at this moment.- moment, don't look to be getting anywhere at this moment. thank you ve much anywhere at this moment. thank you
5:13 pm
very much indeed. _ meanwhile, president biden has welcomed the return of the four hostages and stated "we won't stop working until all the hostages come home and a ceasefire is reached". he made the comment during a press conference with french president emmanuel macron during his two—day state visit to france. during his speech, the us president also spoke about the war in ukraine, saying putin is "not going to stop at ukraine". he countries are standing with the ukrainian people as they fight for aggression. yesterday i announced $225 million of new security assistance in ukraine, it is the sixth package we have signed since we signed the national security legislation earlier this year. i wish we could have done it when we wanted to, six months earlier, but we got it done. $61 billion of additional aid to ukraine. i commend france and our european allies for their leadership as well. the eu has
5:14 pm
provided over $170 billion in assistance to ukraine since the war began. because we know what happens if putin succeeds in subjugating ukraine. we know putin won't stop at ukraine, it's about much more than ukraine. all of europe will be threatened. we are not going to let that happen, the united states is standing strong with ukraine, standing strong with ukraine, standing with our allies and standing with our allies and standing with our allies and standing with france. we will not say it again, we will not, we will not walk away. new cctv of a man believed to be the missing tv and radio presenter michael mosley on the greek island of symi has been seen by the bbc. dr mosley vanished four days ago while on holiday on the island, which is between kos and rhodes. he his four children have arrived on the island to help look for him and the family have described the last few days as "unbearable". our correspondent noor nanji reports. more footage of what appears
5:15 pm
to be michael mosley at 2pm last wednesday, leaving the village of pedi. it is thought to be one of the last—known sightings of him. rescuers are still trying to piece together what happened. greek police said he left his wife on the beach at st nikolas at 1:30pm. from there, it is thought he walked in to pedi. today's footage puts him near the marina on the other side of the village, walking towards rocky hills. a search and rescue operation involving helicopters and drones continues. this mountainous terrain is described as not easy by those involved with the search. the time that michael mosley set off on his walk was also one of the hottest parts of the day. he had been staying in the main town on the island, around one mile from pedi. when he went missing, he did not have his phone. one theory that has emerged is that he was trying to take a much longer route than previously thought, passing over miles
5:16 pm
of exposed hillside. his four children have arrived on symi to help with the search. the island's mayor said the search will continue until he is found. i am about to do something... michael mosley is known to many as a trusted guru of good health, a tv producer and presenter, who was an advocate for intermittent fasting, including the 5:2 diet. for now, there are more questions than answers. how could someone just disappear on such a small island? his wife, clare, has also been involved in the search, alongside friends. she said that the days since he went missing have been unbearable, but that the family will not lose hope. our correspondentjoe inwood is in symi and gave an update on the search operation.

5:21 pm
at least 45 civilians have been killed in a spate of attacks over the last week in the east of the democratic republic of congo. the government in kinshasa has not confirmed who carried them out but local sources blame the allied democratic forces, or adf. five years ago, the adf said it had pledged allegiance to the islamic state group, but analysts say those links are tenuous. in the uk, parties are back on the campaign trail following last night's seven—way debate, where politicians locked horns over the economy, armed forces, nhs, immigration and climate policy. today, the conservatives are pushing a permanent cut to stamp duty and labour is outlining its position on business rates. here's our political correspondentjessica parker. stepping into a new day, trying to leave the old one behind. rishi sunak�*s decision last week to depart early from d—day commemorations in france led to an apology and some unusually blunt words from within his own ranks. what happened was completely wrong
5:22 pm
and the prime minister has rightly apologised. "completely wrong" was not a phrase another cabinet minister chose to repeat today. it was a mistake. people make mistakes. the prime minister has made a mistake, he's apologised for it, and he's apologised to those that would have been particularly hurt by it. i would say, actually looking at his record since he became prime minister, he actually cares about veterans hugely. as the conservatives seek to move on, there has been a manifesto spill — a pledge to permanently get rid of stamp duty tax for some first—time buyers, and announced measures for motorists. you take risks, right? while labour is pledging to overhaul business rates and crack down on late invoice payments. one of keir starmer�*s shadow cabinet has acknowledged frozen tax thresholds mean payments for some are set to rise. but any tax cuts to come? everything in our manifesto —
5:23 pm
there won't be any surprises on tax. all of our plans are fully costed, fully funded, and none of them involving tax rises over and above those that we have already set out. the snp believes there is a conspiracy of silence around tax and spend. the biggest issue in this election is the fact both the labour and conservative parties have signed up to another period of spending cuts. while the liberal democrats' quest to court attention continues, as they say they would create new national parks and spend £4.5 billion planting 60 million trees. this is a capital investment over the next five years. you're right, it is a significant investment, but i believe this is hugely important for our environment. but soon the slotting in of individual policy announcements will end. manifestos are being readied for us all to read — the full set of pledges and, crucially, costs. jessica parker, bbc news.
5:24 pm
just finished, we go live to paris. people have started to arrive for a state banquet being held in honour of president biden and his wife, who are on a state visit to paris. the french president emmanuel macron returning the favour, after he was hosted for a state visit at the white house in 2022. during the meetings earlier in the day, they spoke about various issues including ukraine, israel's war with hamas in gaza, co—operation in the indo—pacific, and policy issues ranging from minor change to artificial intelligence to supply chains. another element during the news conference, both the french and americans welcoming the israeli hostage rescue in gaza. —— ranging from climate change. mr biden
5:25 pm
calling for all of the hostages to be released. these are the dignitaries arriving for a state banquet just about to happen dignitaries arriving for a state banquetjust about to happen after a number of meetings through the day. you can catch up on the website. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. it's been a pretty decent start to the weekend. there was a good deal of sunshine around across most of the country. a bit of cloud here and there, a few showers mostly in the north. part two of the weekend doesn't look quite as good. it will start certainly quite chilly. but we've got a couple of weather fronts pushing down from the northwest that will increase cloud through the day with some splashes of rain. and we've got this weather front approaching the northwest it's of the country to move through this evening. showers merging together to produce longer spells of rain for the north and west of scotland. so unsettled, breezy, showery in the north, turning cloudier for northern ireland, but clearer skies for large parts of england and wales with lighter winds here.
5:26 pm
so it will turn chilly for most, single digits, i think, for the majority of the country. but with more cloud across northern ireland, we will fall to around ten degrees in belfast. so sunday, then, we've got low pressure still towards the norwegian sea there, bringing northern westerly winds into the country. we start to have quite a bit of sunshine. scotland, england and wales, cloudy skies for northern ireland, southwest scotland in towards northwest england, north wales. and that cloud with splashes of rain will spill south—eastwards through the day. so it will turn cloudy across much of england and wales, probably the best of the sunshine across the far south west and the northern half of scotland doing pretty well with sunny spells. but there will be blustery showers here and a cooler day to come, i think, because of more cloud around, temperatures of about 12 to 17 degrees. as we move through sunday night, that area of rain splashes across the irish sea to much of england and wales, becomes confined to southern and eastern areas by the end of the night. so where we have the cloud and the rain, then, a less cold night here, 10 to 12 degrees under clearer skies. further north, it will turn chilly. we start to pick up a northerly wind
5:27 pm
as we move into monday. that rain slowly clears away from the south and east. it may take a while to clear the east of england. eventually it will do that. it's a bright day for most, sunshine and showers. most of these across the northern half of scotland where they will be quite blustery and a chilly northerly wind at that. temperatures, 10 to 1a degrees in the north, 15 to 17 further south, given some sunny spells. and we hold on to this chilly northerly wind through tuesday, even into wednesday as well. and before low pressure starts to move in from the south west, that'll cut off the chilly northerly and temperatures will slowly recover towards the end of the week. but it's going to be a fairly unsettled and a cool week to come with a little bit of sunshine here and there.
5:28 pm

find inspiration. he's done watersports, you've seen him and flower arranging. we saw him playing tennis today and trying his hand at mini goal. regardless of what people think of his politics, people today were impressed with his tennis. young couple walked by as he was playing, turned out they were chairs of the local tennis club and they were surprised how well he was playing. he has a pretty strong forehand apparently. that is not what he wants people to focus on. the lib dems today unveiled their strategy for what they say is the beautiful british countryside and their plans to protect it. if they were voted in, they say they would create three new national park, one in the chilterns, the other two still to be confirmed places, but they are looking at potentially the northumberland coast, dorset, potentially somerset. another eye—catching pledge is to plant 60
5:37 pm
million trees. listen to the price tag, £4.5 billion that would cost. i did put to ed davey it was an eye watering sum and he said it is capital investment, 900 million a year spread overfive capital investment, 900 million a year spread over five years. capital investment, 900 million a year spread overfive years. he believes it is aborted for the biodiversity of this country to go about search a plan. as i said, ed davey has been key to show a lot of his own personality in this campaign. you will perhaps have seen a video released during the week, a personal video of him talking about his family, his relationships, his responsibilities as a carer. that is a deliberate strategy. it is interesting because if you looked at the debate last night, you will remember the question from the lady who put it to the politicians that you will offer us everything when you're trying to get the votes, but once you get into power you don't
5:38 pm
give us anything. today, i had the same thing from someone observing ed davey. he said when it comes to the person who gets my vote, and looking to see who i can trust to deliver on the promises i made. that is at the heart of the lib dems strategy, to try to make sure people thinking about voting for them, and people not, believe they the party of trust. that is why they want to show him as a fully rounded human being. the lib dems have a bit of trust to regain. if you think back to 2010 when they were in coalition with the conservatives, they backtracked, did a u—turn on their plaids to scrap the student tuition fees, something which haunted them. it came up last night, and ed davey acknowledged it had been a difficult period for the party. we're taking a road trip around the south east of england,
5:39 pm
taking a look at some of the key battlegrounds for the general election. this afternoon, we're in the constituency of hastings and rye, a seat currently held by the conservatives which labour is hoping to win onjuly 4th. let's speak to our reporter meghan owen. hello, welcome to sonny hastings. this consistency has been a conservative seat for 1h years but labour have their eyes on it this year. last in the local elections the greens did well, so what is important in hastings for the local people is housing, or lack of, sewage problems. but also cost of living. now to tell us more on the issues are local voters. antonia, an nhs nurse for 20 years. william, you own the cafe where we are. their support, where are your thoughts in terms of where you might be wanting

5:45 pm
janet�*s lived on the island all her life. it's alljust empty shops near enough, it isn't doing the economy on the island any good. we've got loads of people living on the island, obviously, but there's nothing here to keep them here. do you always vote, janet? never voted. you've never voted? they're all the same, that's the trouble, yeah. no, i might this year. i think we need to sort out migrants coming in definitely, because there's an awful lot of wasted money going on there, and they shouldn't keep making all these promises that they can't really fulfil. the nhs is starting to go- so downhill, i think before long we're going to lose it. and of course, they're building new houses on the island, - but they're not building new doctors' surgeries. at the cafe next door, while the all day breakfast was on everyone's mind, there was no appetite for an election. are you going to be voting? no, not at all, we're not, we don't follow politics at all in any way, shape or form. so we don't, we're not fussed. it doesn't matter what we want, they don't work for us any more, we work for them. i think that's my look on it.
5:46 pm
we all feel abandoned on this island. - we literally do feel abandoned. no matter who's in, . whether it's the tories, the labour, anyone, right, they won't spend any - money on this island, . it all goes to faversham and sittingbourne and the like. none of it comes here. wendy wants her new mp to focus on better infrastructure. you know, they say, "oh, no, we'll put 700 homes there." there's no schools available, there's no doctors, there's no hospital. and we suffer from having no hospital. do you feel optimistic about the upcoming election? no. i'm going to stay with my dad on that one. he never voted in his entire life. i've never voted because what they say and what they do are two different things. i sense people feel a bit disillusioned here. i think so. probably in terms of employment, there aren't many prospects for young people. so that's a challenge
5:47 pm
foranyone, really. and you've lived here all your life, what's kept you here? just the fact that i was born here, that's the only thing. i mean, out of my four children, three have left the island and said they'd never come back. the temperature here for the upcoming election is barely warm. whoever the new mp, they've got their work cut out. chrissie reidy, bbc news. you can find a full list of the candidate standing on the bbc news website. some breaking news on the story of the hostages being rescued in an operation by the israeli military out of gaza. in the last few minutes the spokesperson for hamas brigades said some hostages were killed in israel's operation at the refugee camp and in nearby areas
5:48 pm
in central gaza. we don't have anyway of independently verifying the claim by hamas, but the spokesperson saying some of the hostages were apparently killed during the raid which rescued the four hostages back in israel. it will be interesting to find out how many people, how many hostages killed during the operation. we will bring you more on that as soon as we get further information. restrictions on carrying liquids over 100mls in hand luggage are being temporarily reintroduced at some regional airports in the uk from midnight tonight. the change is being made so that improvements can be made to new scanners that had been installed, but it's unclear how long the measure will be in place. katy austin reports. for years, people have only been allowed to take liquid items in containers of 100 millilitres or less through airport security in their hand luggage, put in a clear plastic bag. new high—tech scanning equipment should spell the end of that tiny toiletry limitation. the government has told all uk airports to install the machines
5:49 pm
but many, including the biggest, have kept the old rules for now after being allowed to miss the deadline for getting them all in place. however, some smaller airports had made the change. then, yesterday evening, came the announcement they would go back to the restriction of 100 millilitres from sunday. newcastle, leeds bradford, london city, aberdeen, southend, and teesside airports are affected. the department for transport said this temporary move is to enable further improvements to be made to the new checkpoint systems. it did not give further detail other than calling it a routine measure, not in response to a specific threat. i think itjust adds another layer of confusion right before the busiest time of the year for the travel industry. you've got people going on holiday not knowing quite what they should be packing. and when we've had this roll—out of a new, exciting system delayed with variations, notjust between different airports, but within different airports and, depending on what queue you are in,
5:50 pm
is actually annoying that we have got this extra level of confusion and so, really, we need simplicity for travellers. teesside airport said the removal of the 100 millilitre limit had been widely welcomed by passengers, but it would comply with the government announcement. it added, "we hope this nationwide issue is resolved "as quickly as possible". newcastle advised passengers to put all liquids in their hold baggage and said it was working to keep disruption to a minimum. birmingham airport had installed the new scanners, but kept the liquid limits place for now. the department for transport told passengers to continue to check security requirements with their departure airports before travelling. katy austin, bbc news. for more on it, our business correspondent. it has become confusing. cast your mind back to 2006 when the temporary limit first
5:51 pm
came in, meaning you couldn't carry anything in your hand luggage over 100 millilitres. there's been a gradual move to get back to not having those restrictions. originally airports were supposed to bring the technology in a few years ago, the deadline was mooted last saturday. six smaller airports managed to comply. a few of them lifted the restrictions a while back. from last saturday, all six of those airports, you could trouble with items above 100 millilitres. we've been speaking to people at teesside airport who said it has worked well and been smooth and they been confused that all of a sudden we got the directive from the department for transport, telling the airports to go back now to those restrictions. all airports you won't be able to take anything in your hand luggage over 100 millilitres.
5:52 pm
the big question is why. no specific threats we are told, it is routine. it is to carry out checks and upgrades, to make the systems work better. certainly a couple of sources i've spoken to suggesting that potentially there's been some growing concern they are throwing up false positives, so flagging innocent liquids as potentially the issue and people have to be pulled out and searched. as we get into the busier summer months it could be an issue. the department for transport having confirmed that, they say it is routine in the restrictions will be lifted in due course. if you are travelling from one of those six airports, check before you travel. for the time being, the rules will be you can't carry anything larger than 100 millilitres. it is one of the most iconic images ever taken — and now the man who took it has died. earthrise is a picture of our planet — taken on christmas eve in 1968.
5:53 pm
it shows the earth rising above the horizon from the barren lunar surface. the man who took it was bill anders — an astronaut with the apollo 8 mission. he has now died in a plane crash at the age of 90. i've been speaking to leroy chiao — a fellow former astronaut — who was once commander of the international space station. he paid this tribute to bill anders. i was fortunate enough to meet bill twice, once at an aviation event that was held at baron hilton's ranch outside of reno. and then he also participated in a conference on risk and exploration that i was a co—chair of. so, very nice man, but also very serious, the consummate astronaut and pilot. you know, he went on and lived a very full life. he ran general dynamics after he left nascar and continued after he left nasa and continued to fly aeroplanes. he he turned 90 earlier this year and was still, by all accounts, sharp as a tack and very physically active and of course, still flying. and so it's sad that he died
5:54 pm
in a plane crash, but, you know, he lived a full life and was doing what he loved. and tell us what you think his legacy will be. well, certainly the apollo 8 mission was a very daring mission, a very bold mission, kind of conceived, you know, very late in the game for the launch as far as mission planning goes. and it was a gamble that the americans, the united states, took to go ahead and go around the moon with the apollo spacecraft because our lunar lander wasn't ready yet. and so, as you pointed out, bill took that iconic earthrise picture that is still seen all the time. i've used it myself. and, you know, he will be remembered and missed by all of us, but especially among us professional astronauts. an american veteran who flew back to france for the d—day celebrations has got married near the beaches where the allies landed 80 years ago. harold terens, who is 100 years old, married his 96—year—old fiancee, jeanne swerlin, in the small town of carentan—les—marais.
5:55 pm
mr terens was a radio technician, who assisted fighter pilots in the skies over normandy. congratulations to them. do stay here on bbc news, plenty more in a minute. hello. it's been a pretty decent start to the weekend. there was a good deal of sunshine around across most of the country. a bit of cloud here and there, a few showers mostly in the north. part two of the weekend doesn't look quite as good. it will start certainly quite chilly. but we've got a couple of weather fronts pushing down from the northwest that will increase cloud through the day with some splashes of rain. and we've got this weather front approaching the northwest of the country to move through this evening. showers merging together to produce longer spells of rain for the north and west of scotland. so unsettled, breezy, showery in the north, turning cloudier for northern ireland, but clearer skies for large parts of england and wales
5:56 pm
with lighter winds here. so it will turn chilly for most, single digits, i think, for the majority of the country. but with more cloud across northern ireland, we will fall to around ten degrees in belfast. so sunday, then, we've got low pressure still towards the norwegian sea there, bringing northern westerly winds into the country. we start to have quite a bit of sunshine. scotland, england and wales, cloudy skies for northern ireland, southwest scotland in towards northwest england, north wales. and that cloud with splashes of rain will spill south—eastwards through the day. so it will turn cloudy across much of england and wales, probably the best of the sunshine across the far south west and the northern half of scotland doing pretty well with sunny spells. but there will be blustery showers here and a cooler day to come, i think, because of more cloud around, temperatures of about 12 to 17 degrees. as we move through sunday night, that area of rain splashes across the irish sea to much of england and wales, becomes confined to southern and eastern areas by the end of the night. so where we have the cloud and the rain, then, a less cold night here, 10 to 12 degrees under clearer skies. further north, it will turn chilly. we start to pick up a northerly wind
5:57 pm
as we move into monday. that rain slowly clears away from the south and east. it may take a while to clear the east of england. eventually it will do that. it's a bright day for most, sunshine and showers. most of these across the northern half of scotland, where they will be quite blustery and a chilly northerly wind at that. temperatures, 10 to 1a degrees in the north, 15 to 17 further south, giving some sunny spells. and we hold on to this chilly northerly wind through tuesday, even into wednesday as well. and before low pressure starts to move in from the south west, that'll cut off the chilly northerly and temperatures will slowly recover towards the end of the week. but it's going to be a fairly unsettled and a cool week to come with a little bit of sunshine here and there.
5:58 pm
