allegedly placed on the date of the general election. a uk government aide comes under fire for using derogatory language to describe the flagship rwanda migrant policy. scotland prepares for a crucial group stage match later on today — we hear how one of the younger fans is preparing. music: scotland the brave hello. i'm lewis vaughan jones. passengers have been told to stay away from one of the uk's busiest airports after a power cut caused major disruption. all flights from terminals one and two at manchester airport have been cancelled.

there have been huge queues to get in and some passengers on arriving planes were held on runways for several hours. further disruption is expected, and some flights diverted to other airports. it comes at the start of the busy summer holiday season. here's a clip sent in to the bbc by philip banfield, who is a passenger stranded at manchester airport. so i now have an update for you that we are now stuck airside. our aer lingus plane has taken off from manchester on time without any passengers able to get on the plane. and of course, that leaves an enormous number of passengers now stranded at manchester airport wondering how they are going to continue their onward journeys. but we'll find a way. let's get the latest from our correspondent simonjones, who's in the newsroom. we heard from that passenger, we

will find a way, but a lot of people are finding it very difficult to find a way, because in the past hour we have had an updated statement from manchester airport. they say all future flights, until further notice, have been cancelled from terminals one and two. there are thousands of people already at those two terminals. the airport says it will try to get away people who have already checked in, but future flights this afternoon will not be taking off until further notice. it is a bit of a better situation at terminal three, that was less badly affected by the power outage, so flights are departing from terminal three, so passengers should head there if they have a booking from terminal three, there if they have a booking from terminalthree, but there if they have a booking from terminal three, but they could be delays. of the flights taking off from terminals one and two before the cancellations, people are being warned they may be only able to take their hand luggage on with them, not their hand luggage on with them, not their suitcases, so that is going to

cause a bit of disruption. the airport were expecting around 80,000 passengers to pass through today, so that gives you an idea of the scale of disruption and the number of people who are likely to be affected. we have been hearing from some of the passengers who have faced night made delays today, with queues forming, snaking through the airport and out of terminals one and two. one passenger who was heading for a week holiday in montenegro told us he was at the airport with his wife and a young baby, they arrived at 2am, queued for eight hours, only then to discover their flight had actually been cancelled. and many more stories like this. people disappointed, upset, angry about what has happened. the power outage occurred at about 1:30am this morning, that knocked baggage systems and also some security systems. the airport has been grappling to get those back up and running past —— properly, but that

has led to long delays and problems expected throughout today. let's go live now to manchester. what have you been hearing? goad what have you been hearing? good afternoon. this _ what have you been hearing? good afternoon. this has _ what have you been hearing? good afternoon. this has been _ what have you been hearing? (emf. afternoon. this has been an incredibly difficult morning and afternoon, as it stands, for manchester airport, afternoon, as it stands, for manchesterairport, but afternoon, as it stands, for manchester airport, but also for the thousands of passengers that are affected who were expecting to go on holidays, trips to see family and business trips. as we have found out, manchester airport have confirmed that no flights are currently departing from terminals one and two, and that is likely to mean a large volumes of cancellations this afternoon. they reiterate it is really important that passengers checked with the airlines, check status of lights, and keep on top of any communications, but it is a very difficult picture inside those airport terminals. they operate on

such tight margins, the need for efficiency is crucial, and if there are difficulties in this complex chain of organisation, the system goes down very quickly. that power outage this morning, it knocked out baggage systems, security systems, and very quickly, if the flow of passengers does not work quickly and smoothly, people get backed up. we have seen thousands of people outside the airport trying to check in, trying to get inside, but if they can't and the back—ups start, it gets more and more difficult to resolve, and that is why we have our hearing that manchester airport has been forced to cancel flights for the foreseeable future, at least the next few hours, until it gets on top of these delays. there are still a couple of lights coming in, but it is very unlikely they will be passengers departing in the next few hours from terminals one and two. terminal three is not as affected as terminals one and two.—

terminals one and two. thank you very much- _ the israeli military has admitted its forces violated protocol by strapping a wounded palestinian man to a jeep during what it called a "counterterrorism operation" in the city ofjenin in the west bank on saturday. a warning, viewers may find the video we're about to show distressing. the man can be seen lying on the hood of a vehicle as it drives past two ambulances. we've decided to blur the image. his family said he was injured during the raid by israeli soldiers. the idf confirmed the incident, saying it "violated orders", adding that it would be investigated and dealt with accordingly. it comes as anti—government protesters clashed with israeli police in tel aviv. tens of thousands of people demonstrated near the headquarters of prime minister benjamin netanyahu's likud party on saturday, demanding new elections as well as the return of the remaining hostages who were taken by hamas militants on october 7th. meanwhile, there continues to be growing unrest on israel's

northern border with lebanon. the two sides have exchanged cross—border exchanges of fire for months, fueling fears of a wider conflict. this was the scene yesterday in lebanon's bekaa valley, a0 kilometres from the border. the israeli army said it had carried out a drone attack on a moving vehicle to target a man accused of supplying hamas with weapons. benjamin radd is an expert on government and politics in the middle east. he told us about the possibility of further escalation between israel and hezbollah. a lot of this is in the hands of the islamic republic. iran controls are very much what hezbollah does, how it is armed, when it fires, the extent to which it operates against israel. in fact, a week ago, a high ranking stated that hezbollah reflects an extension of iran's powers beyond its borders. i say

that you emphasise that iran can control this and how much pressure is applied to israel from the north, went to pull back and went to increase the pressure. in the meantime, we will continue to see israel responding in the way that it has, targeting specific site and individuals in southern lebanon that are members of hezbollah. the president of argentina, javier milei, has met the german chancellor 0laf scholz in berlin. this is mr milei's first official visit to germany since taking office six months ago. but the visit has already been accompanied by protests and controversy. president milei was due to receive military honours during his visit but the ceremony was cancelled at the last minute at the request of the argentinians. 0ur berlin correspondent damien mcguinness has been telling me more about mr milei's visit. what we do know is that the whole ceremonial side of this and the public statements by the two leaders and the joint press conference which had been planned was all cancelled on wednesday, which is pretty last—minute for a big military honours ceremony, and this came just two days after quite stark comments from a spokesman for the german

government, saying that... really being very critical of comments by president milei about the wife of the spanish prime minister. you will remember that back in may, a huge row kicked off when president milei accused or claimed that the wife of the spanish prime minister was corrupt, and that led to a huge diplomatic rift between the two countries. it is one example of how controversial president milei can be, or how outspoken he is, and on monday, when the spokesperson of the german government was asked about this, he said, we can't choose the people we need to talk to, and he described the comments as unpleasant, and then two days later all the official stuff was cancelled. we don't know if there is a direct link, but itjust goes to show how tricky this meeting is. 0n the one hand you have got a very flamboyant, some would call populist, right—wing leader from argentina. 0n the other hand you have got

the german chancellor, who is very restrained and low—key and a pragmatist, and also from a left—wing party, so these are two characters who do not see eye—to—eye, but they have interests in common and that is about trade and the economy and that is why they have been meeting today. a shopping centre in south australia has been locked down and evacuated after fighting broke out between two groups of teenage boys. some of them are reported to have been armed with batons. the police say the only injuries — in both cases minor — occurred when customers were being led from the centre in the city of adelaide. the teenagers managed to escape. it's not known what caused the fighting to break out, but the two groups of boys are said to have known each other. now it's time for a look at today's sport. scotland's big day has arrived

as they make final preparations for theirfinal group game of euro 2024, which sees them taking on hungar. they're bidding to get to the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time. group a concludes later this evening, as germany face switzerland. germany are already through, with the swiss set to finish second unless scotland overturn that quite large goal difference, so the scots will have their eyes on going through as one of the best third—placed teams and one former player says qualifying out of the group has always been the belief. i think it would be huge because for a number of years the aim was just to get to a tournament, it has been so long. steve clarke and his players have managed to do that, the last euros in 2020, so this was about coming in with the real belief and hope and expectation to get out of the group. if scotland get out of the group, it would be massive. scotland midfielderjohn mcginn says he wants the team to "prove people wrong" by making history and staying in the euros past the group stages, but did reveal in saturday's press

conference that he didn't quite have his entire family behind him. my my uncle joe and my unclejoe and my little cousins mark and thomas, spelt in the hungarian way, the boys were born in scotland but they are half hungarian, half scottish. 0ne scotland but they are half hungarian, half scottish. one of them wants scotland to win, one of them wants scotland to win, one of them wants scotland to win, one of them wants hungary to win, so my unclejoe them wants hungary to win, so my uncle joe told them wants hungary to win, so my unclejoe told us that them wants hungary to win, so my uncle joe told us that this them wants hungary to win, so my unclejoe told us that this morning, so they will have a win — win scenario, but i hope young thomas is sad tomorrow night. don't worry, we have those problems in our family as well. in the copa america, mexico beatjamaica i—0 in their opening game of the tournament but lost their captain edson alvarez to a potentially tournament—ending injury. the only goal of the game came through gerardo arteaga in the second half, shortly after west ham forward michail antonio had a goal ruled

out by var forjamaica. but antonio's club team mate alvarez went off in tears in the first half clutching his hamstring and could miss the rest of the tournament. next, to the t20 world cup and a moment of cricket history, as afghanistan recorded their first win over australia in any form of the game. pat cummins took a second hat—trick in as many games — the first player to achieve the feat in t20 internationals. but australia collapsed from 106—6 to 113—9 and eventually fell 21 runs short, to seal victory for afghanistan. it gives, you know, the people back home so much hope, and especially the young generation, getting involved in cricket and getting that attention into the sport, and also the nation. cricket is the only source of happiness back home, we all know that, and i feel like we are so lucky to be here giving those happenings to the people back home. we hardly see those events

back home where they can celebrate and enjoy those moments, but these little games are big games, to be honest, in the world cup. it gives them so much happiness and that is something which really, really satisfies me. obviously, they are a good side and, you know, they are not _ an associate nation, _ they are a very good cricket team who play against the best _ all the time and they have improved a hell of a lot over the last few years, and we know certainly l | in these conditions they are a bigj danger team, so as i said before, they outplayed us tonight and credit to them. - and don't forget, in about a0 minutes' time, the spanish grand prix gets under way in barcelona. you'll be able to follow it live on the bbc sport website and app. lando norris on pole for that one, ahead of max verstappen on the front row. but that's all the sport for now.

a fourth senior conservative is being investigated by the gambling commission over allegations that he placed bets on the timing of the general election. the party's chief data officer, nick mason, denies any wrongdoing. 0ur political correspondent harry farley reports. that is fantastic. all smiles at this event on friday, but it has been a difficult week for rishi sunak. four conservatives, including two candidates, are being looked into by the gambling commission. the tories' chief data officer has taken a leave of absence ii tories' chief data officer has taken a leave of absence 11 days from polling day. he is being investigated over alleged bets placed on the timing of the election. he denies any wrongdoing. and there are questions if there are any more names to come. to and there are questions if there are any more names to come.— any more names to come. to your knowledge. — any more names to come. to your knowledge. did — any more names to come. to your knowledge, did any _ any more names to come. to your knowledge, did any ministers - any more names to come. to your knowledge, did any ministers put| any more names to come. to your| knowledge, did any ministers put a bet on the election? hat knowledge, did any ministers put a bet on the election?— bet on the election? not to my knowledge- — bet on the election? not to my knowledge- i — bet on the election? not to my knowledge. i have _ bet on the election? not to my knowledge. i have been - bet on the election? not to my - knowledge. i have been absolutely clear that —

still causing controversy. an aide to the home secretary, who's responsible for overseeing the government's plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda, has described the policy as "crack". james sunderland, who is standing for the conservatives at the election, was recorded expressing the view at a private event in april. but he went on to defend the plan, saying it would deter migrants from crossing the channel. he was speaking on the 2nd of april at an event for young conservatives. 0ur political correspondent jessica parkerjoins us now.

airwaves this morning. he was quite eager to point to what he said was james sunderland talking about how this scheme is, they believe, going to act as a deterrent in terms of small boat crossings on the endless channel, and james cleverly thought that maybe his colleague, james sunderland, had used the word crap to grab the audience's attention. just a bit of context on the rwanda scheme, which has caught a lot of attention. no flights have yet taken off under the scheme as it has faced legal challenges. meanwhile, so far this year, more than 12,000 people have crossed the english channel in small boats. the labour party have described the policy as a gimmick, the conservative party say of labour that they are not offering any kind of credible alternative.— of credible alternative. thank you for that. the leader of the scottish national party, john swinney,

has admitted his party needs to rebuild trust with the public after recent scandals. he was speaking this morning on sunday with laura kuenssberg. we have had a tough time, laura. i think that has been acknowledged, i've acknowledged that on a constant basis since i became first minister, just about seven weeks ago. i have been very candid about the fact that i recognise that the snp has had that tough time, and myjob is to rebuild the trust between the public of scotland and the scottish national party. let's speak to the bbc scotland political correspondent lynsey bews, who's in glasgow for us. what do you make of this challenge of rebuilding trust? this what do you make of this challenge of rebuilding trust?— of rebuilding trust? this is something _ of rebuilding trust? this is something that _ of rebuilding trust? this is something that john - of rebuilding trust? this is i something that john swinney of rebuilding trust? this is - something that john swinney has of rebuilding trust? this is _ something that john swinney has been something thatjohn swinney has been talking about a lot on this election campaign, this idea that the party has had a very tough time of it and that it has some work to do in terms of regaining trust. john swinney was only in place as the snp's leader for a few short weeks before this election was called. that came after a very tumultuous time for the party, with the resignation of the

first minister after he had brought to an end a power—sharing deal between the snp and the green party in the scottish government. that resulted in calls for him to quit, because of no confidence, and he fell on his sword, and john swinney swooped in to take over. it has not been the easiest time forjohn swinney. he has been dealing with the shadow that is looming over the party of an ongoing police investigation into the snp's finances. that has led to the arrest and charge of the party's former chief executive, peter murrell, who is also the husband of the former first minister nicola sturgeon. he is charged with embezzling party funds and a report into that is now sitting with prosecutors. that police investigation continues. the snp is also having to deal with that going on in the background. and right at the start of the election

campaign, former snp health secretary michael matheson, who resigned over an £11,000 ipad data bill, was facing sanctions from the scottish parliament. he had initially been defended by the party, he had said he used the ipad for work purposes, allowing the taxpayer to pick up the bill, and then eventually admitted that his sons had been using the device to watch football on holiday, and he paid back the money and resigned under pressure back in february. now john swinney is also facing questions about the use of parliamentary stamps. a complaint has been made to a holyrood's authorities about claims that the party has used parliamentary stamps for election purposes. today he was a very clear that he has been given assurances that that has not happened, but all of this just provides ammunition for opposition parties to attack the snp on that issue of trust.—

parties to attack the snp on that issue of trust. ., ~ , ., , . as we've been hearing, scotland play hungary later. victory in stuttgart for scotland could propel them past the group stages of a major competition for the very first time. among the sea of tartan army supporters are paul leonard and his son archie, a bagpiper. archie and paul have taken it upon themselves to lift the morale of the scottish fans before the games. have a look at one of their performances in stuttgart. in the last hour i was joined by paul and his son archie. it's been really building the last few days because scotland had a game in cologne a few days ago, so the tartan army has been arriving en masse over the last few days and the atmosphere's really building. i'd say there's probably 10,000 to 20,000 fans in the fan zone today. 0ur german hosts have been so hospitable and the fans are having a superb time, mixing with the fans of other nations, so it's really building up today and we're really looking forward to the game this evening.

a lot at stake this evening. we'll get onto the football in a moment. archie, how long have you been playing the bagpipes and why did you pick them up and want to play? i started the chanter five years ago and then i got into the pipes two and a bit years ago. i picked the pipes because they're really nice and they're scottish and i want to be part of scotland. that is absolutely wonderful. and what's it like standing in the middle of all those people with everyone chanting and singing and they've got their phones out filming you, what is that like? i was proud, a little bit nervous though. i bet. well, it was fantastic and it sounded wonderful. let's look at the football, how are you feeling about the game coming up? are you nervous about tonight, excited? are they going to win? i think we have a good chance but i'm a little bit nervous.

what about dad ? as a nation, we're always a bit optimistically cautious. i think we can win, if our players turn up, we can definitely get the win, and that would be superb because we haven't got into the knockout stages of a major tournament, and to do it today would be absolutely awesome. music: scotland the brave brilliant stuff. young archie playing the bagpipes. good luck to scotland, who play that all—important match against hungary this evening. stay with us here on bbc news.

hello there. summer heat on the way but we're not expecting wall—to—wall sunshine. in fact, many areas seeing a lot of cloud even some outbreaks of rain too. this was exeter earlier today, lots of cloud here. contrast that with this picture from norfolk. blue skies, perfect weather for an afternoon on the beach. over the next few days, it will turn warm and plenty sunshine as well. the reason for the change is the position of the jet stream. earlier in the month, the jet stream was positioned to the south of the uk, we were on the colder side, but now it's in the north, it will be bringin warmer air and lifting the temperatures. in the afternoon, the temperatures will rise to up to 26 degrees across parts of southeast england. a little bit cooler the further north you go but still generally pleasant.

this sunday evening and overnight, a fairly quiet picture, to be honest. a little cloud across parts of the midlands and norfolk, perhaps southwest england as well, otherwise, clear spells. a pretty muggy night in places, temperatures in the south east up to 16 degrees, uncomfortable for sleeping. cooler the further north you go. on monday morning, some weather fronts trying to make inroads, bringing more cloud into western parts of scotland. elsewhere, dry, fine weather with spells of sunshine and temperatures widely into the mid—20s on monday. up to 25 in newcastle, 26 across aberdeenshire. here's monday evening into tuesday, and those fronts still trying to make inroads. this cold front is not moving paticularly quickly and not a lot on it, bringing cloud and outbreaks of drizzly rain to scotland, northern ireland and parts of northern england on tuesday, could be some showers here.

elsewhere, quite a lot of cloud but sunshine coming through and those temperatures in london on tuesday reaching 28 celsius. cooler, though, across parts of scotland where that weather front has come through. towards the end of the week, things eventually breaking down, turning more unsettled and cooler.

this is bbc news. the headlines: passengers flying out of manchester airport terminals have been told to stay away after a major power cut disrupted a significant number of flights in the early hours of this morning. here in the uk, a government aide has come underfire after using derogatory language to describe the flagship rwanda migrant policy. the united nations has criticised israeli troops for strapping a wounded palestinian man to a military vehicle and driving him through the west bank city ofjenin. the idf confirmed the incident, saying it violated orders. ronaldo takes a selfie with a young pitch invader, as portugal book their place in the knock—out stages of euro 202a. meanwhile, scotland prepares for a crucial match against hungary later today.
