on wednesday afternoon, when he went for a walk alone in a remote mountainous area. local officials say the body was spotted on a steep slope above a beach. yesterday new cctv footage emerged showing him heading towards a path that would have taken him over miles of exposed hillside. in the past hour we've had a statement from michael mosley�*s wife clare. it reads. i don't know quite where to begin with this. it's devastating to have lost michael, my wonderful, funny kind and brilliant husband. we had an incredibly lucky life together. i am incredibly proud of our children, their resilience and support over the past days. we're taking comfort in the fact that he so very nearly made it. he did an incredible climb, took the wrong route and collapsed where he couldn't easily be seen by the extensive search team. we are so grateful to the extraordinary people on symi who have worked tirelessly to help find him.

our correspondentjoe inwood our correspondent joe inwood has the latest from the island of symi. i've been here for three orfour days now following the attempt to find michael mosley and you hear that statement from clare bailey mosley and it is very sad, it is a very heartfelt statement for a man who so many people clearly loved and held in great affection. he was a very well—known broadcaster, a doctor, a medical expert but he was also a husband and father. a friend to many people and that is what came that what came through in there. as you say, it was the news that we had been expecting from this morning and certainly, the longer it went on, the longer the search went on, the more it was that he would be found alive and well. —— the more unlikely it was that he would be found alive and well. it is incredibly hot here, incredibly difficult conditions, those hills behind me, those aren't the hills he was found on but but they are very similar geologically. they are the same sort of height, it is very rough terrain, very difficult, very exposed. it was right in the middle of the day and it would have

been incredibly arduous climb. clare bailey mosley�*s statement makes it very clear that he had tried a very difficult climb as she points out he had very nearly succeeded. we were just around the bay, he was found at a place called agia marina and we were there just 30 minutes or so ago on a boat and you could see it and you could see the point at which he had been found and he was so nearly made it down towards the beach. this is the point that she was making, for the family, they got some comfort that he got so close. obviously, in the end, he did not make it and the discovery today of his body is very, very sad news. of course, for the people here who try to find him but most of all for the mosley family. that of all for the mosley family. was joe inwood. that of all for the mosley family. wasjoe inwood. miché is that wasjoe inwood. michael mosley is well known for bbc programmes including the pod castjust one thing and the series trust me i'm a doctor. david sillitoe has been looking at his career. before that let's take you to some live pictures now from paris. you can see here...

it is northern france, apologies. this is president biden, he hasjust arrived by helicopter and he is about to get onto air force one, he has of course been on a state visit to france. he was at those commemorations and the us president apologised to his counterpart volodymyr zelensky for delays to this military aid during that visit after they attended both of those anniversary commemorations for the d—day landings in normandy. he made a passionate speech at the site in normandy where us rangers scaled a cliff to storm a nazi stronghold on d—day and he spoke about the sacrifice of those who lost their lives in 1994. he says does anyone doubt that they would want america

to stand up against vladimir putin's aggression here in europe today. just referencing back to that meeting he had before with volodymyr zelensky. we are seeing president biden there are about to board air force one, that is his wifejill next to him and he has been in france on that visit and, as i said, they were talking about the us department of defence aid package to ukraine, saying that it would include ammunition and anti—aircraft missiles. that was one of the things that he was doing while he was in france. we know that there were numerous world leaders who were there and we know that there was a controversy after rishi sunak left those d—day commemorations earlier to head back to the uk. let'sjust

have a look there at those pictures. he is saying farewell presumably to the sum of those people he has met there in france and heading back to air force one to head back to the united states. obviously, he is involved in that d election campaigning as we know in america before the election there in november. let's move back to our top story about the death of michael mosley, whose body was found on the greek island of symi. he is well known, of course, for bbc programmes including the pod castjust one thing and the series trust me i'm a doctor. david sillitoe has been looking at his career... now, the diet i'm about to go on was developed by a nutritionist in toronto and... michael mosley, a trusted, charismatic guru of good health. one way to tell if you're sleep deprived is to go to bed in the middle of the afternoon and... a tv producer and presenter always happy to be the guinea pig

in the search for a better understanding of the science of sleep, fitness... and it's also good for my heart and lungs. ..and weight, most notably in 2012, when he was diagnosed with type ii diabetes. i've got this list of the things that i am allowed on my new diet and the things that i am definitely not allowed. his subsequent weight loss using intermittent fasting inspired thousands to follow the 5—2 diet. this scanner will give the best images of my heart that money can buy. his enthusiasm for experimenting on himself had been inspired by a scientist who had proved that ulcers were caused by bacteria by deliberately infecting himself. michael mosley realised it would make great television, and helped take science out of the lab and into people's lives. nothing seemed to daunt him. here he is infesting himself with tapeworms. there they go. but there was always a serious point. if type ii diabetes could be

reversed or chronic insomnia helped, he wanted to test it himself. didn't really think this one through! there are many who say he changed their lives. david sillito, bbc news. and the bbc news live page has many of the tributes to michael mosley. they have, of course, been coming all afternoon and you can go online to the bbc news website or the app to the bbc news website or the app to read them and the latest updates. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says 274 palestinians were killed during saturday's israeli offensive on the nuseirat refugee camp. the operation led to the rescue of four israeli hostages taken by hamas during the october 7th attacks — were freed during the raid, in broad daylight. the operation led to the rescue of four israeli hostages taken by hamas during the

israel previously estimated they were fewer than a hundred casualties. images show victims lying on the ground. josep borrell described it as another massacre of civilians. john donnison who is in jerusalem for us. we have had an update that has come in from the reuters news agency that hamas armed wing saying that there were three israeli hostages killed including a us citizen. we did know that this news they were saying yesterday but what more do we know about this? hat what more do we know about this? not much what more do we know about this? tint much more than you have said, really. there is no way of verifying these claims at the moment but hamas's military wing has posted a video in which they make this claim saying that the three hostages were killed and one of them, as you say, an american citizen and they were

killed in israel's operation yesterday. it will be difficult to verify that and we certainly have not had any comment from the israeli authorities here.— authorities here. what more do we know about — authorities here. what more do we know about what _ authorities here. what more do we know about what happened - authorities here. what more do we know about what happened and - authorities here. what more do we. know about what happened and also the situation currently on the ground there after this raid? t the situation currently on the ground there after this raid? i have 'ust been ground there after this raid? i have just been looking _ ground there after this raid? i have just been looking at _ ground there after this raid? i have just been looking at pictures - ground there after this raid? i have just been looking at pictures from i just been looking at pictures from the site today, people picking through the rubble and it looks absolutely flattened in large part. we know from videos at the time of the raid that there are a large number of israeli air strikes, missiles whittling in, we saw bodies strewn on the ground and this casualty figure, 274, which is what the hamas health ministries say almost 700 people injured now. again, those figures are difficult to verify, at the moment the

israelis have been saying that few fewer than 100 people they believe have been killed. it has caused absolutely widespread outrage in gaza about the number of people who have died. the hospitals in central gaza have been completely overwhelmed and that, of course, is a hell system which is already at breaking point.— a hell system which is already at breaking point. briefly, we heard the us top diplomat _ breaking point. briefly, we heard the us top diplomat condemning | breaking point. briefly, we heard - the us top diplomat condemning the killings saying it's another massacre of civilians, do you think that those comments could potentially change any future planned operations like this? i planned operations like this? i don't think so. josep borrell has been very critical of israel's actions in gaza in the past and he was immediately rebuked by an israeli minister when he made those comments who said shame on you, why are you criticising us for simply trying to rescue our citizens and you are not criticising hamas for

holding hostages in densely populated civilian areas. it should be said thatjosep borrell also said that he welcomed the freeing of those for hostages. john donaldson, injerusalem. _ those for hostages. john donaldson, in jerusalem, thank _ those for hostages. john donaldson, in jerusalem, thank you _ those for hostages. john donaldson, in jerusalem, thank you very - those for hostages. john donaldson, in jerusalem, thank you very much. | narendra modi will be sworn in for a third term as india's prime minister today. he will lead a coalition government, after his hindu nationalist bjp failed to win enough seats in the general election to govern alone. thousands of guests are attending the inauguration at delhi's presidential palace, including the heads of several neighbouring countries. we can take a look at those live pictures coming in now as ministers are being sworn in. we heard earlier that tight security is in place and police have declared the capital and no—fly zone. members of mr modi's new cabinet will also take their oaths of office. let's speak to our correspondent who is in delhi

for us. there are close to five dozen ministers, some of them seniors a lot of them juniors. they will be sworn in and we expect this ceremony to continue for a couple of hours now. there are so many permutations and combinations at play. there are several ministers who have been dropped as a result of the bjp's performance in the elections and there are several provincial leaders who have been actually given a bit of a push—up of sorts and are taking over central ministries. there are several new allies who are now brought in. this is a very colourful ceremony unlike the last two ceremonies where mr modi's party had a complete majority. this time they're having to accommodate several allies and there are several film stars here, several industrialists here. we get reports that put the figure at about 9000 in the forecourt of the presidential palace. even online, this event is

attracting hundreds and thousands of views online on several youtube streams as well. a highly anticipated, highly watched event with several combinations and permutations at play. as i said earlier, once the ceremony ends, there is a banquet where the minister and several global ministers will be in that. tomorrow, is when these ministers will actually be getting their ministry is declared to the public, the portfolio allocation that i mentioned. that is when the business of government will actually commence. now it is time for a look at all of today's sport. here is ben. we will kick off with a tennis with their men's singles final with carlos alcaraz taking of zverev. he has yet to win a major. alcaraz has two grand slams already to his name.

zero of us have responded levelling the match at 6—2 in the second set. the quality has not dropped at all as the match takes over the two hour mark and alvarez has just broken zverev leading 4—2 in that third set. —— alcaraz has just spoken to ralph. coco gauff has won in straight sets with her partner in the doubles, and katerina siniakova now has single and double titles. sunshine in paris but next to us gig new york where rain has delayed the start of the eagerly anticipated clash between pakistan and india at the men's world cup. over 30,000 than gleaming fans have turned up the match was due to begin 45 minutes ago and they have done the toss with pakistan winning and elected to field in what should be favourable conditions. play started a couple of minutes ago. plenty of

indian supporters in the stands by the looks of things. you can keep up—to—date on the bbc sport website. rain in new york and plenty forecast in montreal too ahead of the grand prix. and predictable conditions and an unusual pole sitter two with george russell starting out front in the second time in his career defending at the exact same time as the stamp on. it feels amazing. i mean, you know, so much hard work back at the factory. so much hard work over all of these years. i've sort of been zigzagging around, changing the philosophy and the concept, and over the last 6 months those zigzags have got a bit smaller and narrower. and, you know, the upgrades we brought last week in monaco and a few more bits on the car this week, you know, really have sort of transformed the car and it's feeling great. and... yeah, so good to clinch this pole. on to rugby and the england fly half forward has been ruled out with an achilles injury despite playing to

the six nations and the english domestic season with sale. it is decided he needs time to recover and will skip the trip to japan at the end ofjune. and the english tour to new zealand next month. primoz roglic has shown his yellowjersey credentials on the final day. carlos rodriguez of grenadiers won the stage but your concern who is in second place overall was just behind him. remember, struggling rutledge had to finish within 56 seconds of the american and he made it across the american and he made it across the line with eight seconds to spare. basketball to finish. the nba finals are upon us with boston celtics is taking a 2—0 lead. they have got some adjustments to make after that heavy opening defeat on friday. from who were going against its

going to be very physical. some things are going to be called some things aren't. i think we have all the experience in game one and we are looking forward to the challenging game due to playing better. being who we have been since the break and having fun doing it. it is the highest level of basketball right now with only two teams playing. we are proud of ourselves but we are not satisfied and we have to continue to be ourselves. you can keep up—to—date with the tennis on the cricket on the bbc sport website. that's all but for now. thank you madge, ben. votes are being cast to elect the european union's next parliament — in an election held across 27 countries. it is expected to shift the assembly to the right — and boost the numbers of eurosceptic nationalists. it follows a tense few weeks — with two european leaders and several other politicians physically attacked. and though the election should not impact politics at home — italy's far right prime minister — in a controversial step — has put her name on the ballot. our correspondent explains the significance behind that mover.

giorgia meloni is the only prime minister in europe to put her name on the ballot to give some enthusiasm to voters to go out and cast their ballots because of the name recognition that she has. she has said, write giogia next to the ballot paper. is this going to translate into enthusiasm for the turn out? we are not sure about that because, at this polling station behind me, they are having a low turnout, about 25% of eligible voters have come out so far. that is a similar picture nationwide, whether turn out so far by that lunchtime today is about 25%. that is down on the last european election in 2019. italians are going out and having lasagne for lunch, going for a swim by the sea. it is hot and not many people are going out to vote. they might come later, the polling station stay open until 11 tonight. they are hoping they will get more people turning up this afternoon.

the importance that meloni will have in the post election picture. it is not echoed by the enthusiasm that italians are giving to this election. that's interesting. briefly, do you think it is as simple as that that it is a nice day and people are not coming up to vote or do you think it is a disengagement? there is a general shrug of the shoulders when it comes to european elections among italians. although it is the only directly elected institution of the eu, most people feel divorced from the european parliament. the national political picture is going directly located in the european elections are not much is going to change. a brief note on why she is so important. she is arguably the strongest right—wing leader in europe at the moment, towering over the italian political scene and she has been courted by both sides in the european elections. the centre—right, like the president of

the european commission know she might need meloni's support after this vote, but the harder right, like le pen in france are trying to woo meloni and trying to encourage her to join one single file write —— w011 —— won a single file write block. knowing that the far right is expecting to gain significantly in this election. meloni is going to be an extremely important figure in this election and possibly as a kingmaker. there is live coverage as europe votes, join my colleague christian fraser eight o'clock tonight in the uk and there is full coverage on the bbc news website. here in the uk or the main political parties are out campaigning for the general election and labour has set out plans to relieve pressure on prisons and says it will change the planning rules to

and organisers reported a record turnout with more than 340,000 people participating in the parade. do stay with us on bbc news. hello there. we started part two of the weekend. on a fine note, there was plenty of sunshine around, but since then, skies have clouded over for many. and we're seeing patchy rain pushing into northern ireland, parts of northern england, the midlands and wales, all courtesy of this weather front here, which is popping up as it's sliding its way south eastwards. all the while, this area of low pressure bringing strong winds to northern north east scotland with plenty of blustery showers here, some good sunny spells continuing across scotland and also south west england, the channel islands, but elsewhere it's cloudy with that rain popping up across northern ireland and spreading across the irish sea. so temperatures a bit more disappointing because we've got more cloud around, down to around 17

or 18 degrees as we head through this evening and overnight that rain peps up as it spreads across england and wales, some heavy bursts at times across northern and eastern england, also the midlands. and because there's a bit more breeze, more cloud and rain around, then we're looking at 9 to 11 degrees across the south, but a chilly one to come across scotland and northern ireland as skies clear and we pick up chilly and northerly winds. so into monday, we have these northerly winds, that area of rain slowly pulling away from the southeast. but you'll see it's a chilly air source coming all the way down from the arctic. so it's a chilly but bright start. scotland, northern ireland, western england and wales. we start off with the wet weather across eastern england which will take its time to clear through the course of the day. quite breezy as well. close to the north sea coast, most of the afternoon will be one of sunshine and showers. most of the showers, northern and eastern areas tend to stay dry the further west that you are. but again, it's going to feel cool for the time of year ten to around 17, maybe 18 degrees in the south west, given some sunshine for tuesday. then we've still got

chilly northerly winds. but this area of high pressure in the west wants to topple in and that should settle things down. there'll still be a few showers across northern and eastern areas, perhaps into the midlands through the afternoon. but we start off bright with some sunshine before the clouds do build up. so a bit of a cloudier afternoon with a few showers dotted around and again, cool for the time of year, 10 to 17 degrees, wednesday looks mostly fine as that ridge of high pressure moves across the country thursday, friday and into the weekend, low pressure takes over again, so no signs of any hot, dry, sunny weather on the way. it's going to stay cool, though. temperatures recovering a little bit by the end of the week as we pick up south—westerly winds. but generally it's going to stay unsettled.

live from london. this is bbc news. the family of tv and radio presenter michael mosley confirms his body has been found on the greek island of symi. his wife clare paid tribute to her �*wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband'. narendra modi is being sworn in as india's prime minister for a record—equalling third term. this time he will not have an outright majority. these are live pictures from the ceremony which is going on in delhi. election campaigning continues in the uk as cabinet minister mel strader says rishi sunak apologised unequivocally for leaving d—day anniversary commemorations early and labour

of scottish westminster seats, could
