northern ireland this morning, he's in wales this lunchtime. also on the programme... a wave of russian missile attacks — including one on a children's hospital — kills more than 20 people across ukraine. and las vegas breaks temperature records amid an extreme us heatwave. and coming up on bbc news... the men's number two seed hoping to avoid the same fate as the women's. novak djokovic attempts to avoid a shock and reach the wimbledon quarter finals later. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the new labour government is beginning its first full week in power, with sir keir starmer�*s cabinet making a series of announcements on health, education, immigration and the economy.

the chancellor, rachel reeves, has promised to make kick—starting economic growth a �*national mission�*. a key part of that is a plan to reintroduce compulsory house building targets, as our chief economics correspondent dharshini david reports. how do you go about building prosperity? loosening red tape to revive private investment in home—building and energy infrastructure form the foundation of today's plans, aimed at underpinning a decade of renewal. it will be up to local communities to decide where the housing is built but it has to be built. if the answer is always no, we'll continue as we are and continuing as we are means living standards continuing to decline and it means public services continuing to deteriorate. the plans involve reviving mandatory house—building targets, allowing development on so—called grey belt, parts of the protected green belt already built on, and lifting a ban on onshore wind powered developments. she knows she may be in for a fight.

how prepared are we to make the hard choices and face down the vested interests? how willing, even, to risk short—term political pain to fix britain's foundations? and some campaigners say preserving our rural areas should be the priority. let's regenerate and reinvigorate our town centres, densify urban areas. if there are brownfield sites within the green belt that are located to public transport hubs then, yeah, let's look at those. but where there are just green sites in the green belt that are further away from public services and public transport, then it doesn't make sense. but broadly welcomed by the house—building industry. it's two—pronged. you've got to sort the planning out, which this is a very, very positive step towards doing. we need to also help people to be able to buy. there is not currently enough available, affordable mortgage lending. all of this is geared

towards boosting our underperforming growth record. now, the treasury claims that we could have been £140 billion better off last year if our economy had expanded at the same rate as the average rich country since 2010 and that could have brought in an extra £58 billion in tax last year, roughly the same amount as we spend on the core schools budget. we may see more of these. how much growth is powered and when is uncertain and with the treasury assessing the spending inheritance, autumn�*s budget may not hold much more cash for services. other questions remain. importers like this florist want to know how trading arrangements with the eu could be improved. more plans are needed if growth is to truly blossom. dharshini david, bbc news. our economics editor faisal islam was listening to the new chancellor's speech. faisal, tell us more about some

of those key announcements. yes, that is what you might call a big bang in planning reform. it is pretty nerdy stuff but to catch up to the chase on this, there will be hundreds of new wind turbines built per year and hundreds of thousands of new homes built if these reforms work. and they are about basically loosening the restrictions, the red tape in the planning system, councils blocking this sort of stuff when it comes to councils and giving more national powers to override it. that is the basics of theirs. we see this with mandatory house—building targets, we see this with the lifting of the de facto ban on wind power, which the chancellor called absurd. so we will see a change in that and the chancellor interestingly accepted that this would cause political flashpoints but she said the landslide majority that labour have on their manifesto is the mandate that they need. but more than that, she was almost saying, bring it on, and saying to

the international investors, the business leaders inside the room and the treasury, i'm willing to go through political pain locally to get you guys to invest, the private sector, tens of billions of pounds. so that is what they are trying to achieve. it won't be without controversy but they say they have a mandate for it and they want businesses to step up and quickly. thank you, faisal. the home secretary yvette cooper says there isn't a quick fix to the problem of overcrowding in prisons. it's one of the key challenges facing the new government, as most jails are already considered full. she's been talking about neighbourhood crime and antisocial behaviour at a police station in south london. our uk correspondent, adina campbell, reports on the beat in south—east london, it was an early start for the new home secretary yvette cooper, walking alongside metropolitan police officers in lewisham. and with an overflowing in tray of how this government will fight crime,

questions over labour's plans to try and solve a strained prison system are high on the list. we and solve a strained prison system are high on the list.— are high on the list. we are going to have to — are high on the list. we are going to have to deal— are high on the list. we are going to have to deal with _ are high on the list. we are going to have to deal with the - are high on the list. we are going to have to deal with the legacy i are high on the list. we are going i to have to deal with the legacy that we inherit. they have failed to build the prison is that we need, they have allowed the number of remand prisoners, people waiting for trial, to increase because of the chaos and the backlog in the criminaljustice chaos and the backlog in the criminal justice system. chaos and the backlog in the criminaljustice system. all of those things are going to need to be addressed and to be fixed. find those things are going to need to be addressed and to be fixed.— addressed and to be fixed. and with ressure addressed and to be fixed. and with pressure mounting _ addressed and to be fixed. and with pressure mounting just _ addressed and to be fixed. and with pressure mounting just days - addressed and to be fixed. and with pressure mounting just days into . addressed and to be fixed. and with| pressure mounting just days into the newjob, the former chief inspector of prisons says urgent action is needed. ., ., ., . needed. you have to reduce the rison needed. you have to reduce the prison population, _ needed. you have to reduce the prison population, if— needed. you have to reduce the prison population, if nothing - needed. you have to reduce the i prison population, if nothing else, to make _ prison population, if nothing else, to make room for dealing with people who are _ to make room for dealing with people who are now in the courts backlog. but if _ who are now in the courts backlog. but if you — who are now in the courts backlog. but if you release a large number of people. _ but if you release a large number of people, then there's the risk that some _ people, then there's the risk that some of— people, then there's the risk that some of them will reoffend and where are they— some of them will reoffend and where are they going to live? but _ are they going to live? but there are other priorities, too. protecting local communities, better policing on our streets and reducing

anti—social behaviour. there is no doubt that there is a lot to do. under this new government, labour want to introduce 13,000 extra new neighbourhood police officers and introduce tough new respect orders to solve issues such as public drinking and drug use. community leaders say they want to see young people given more of a voice. we need to people given more of a voice. - need to see much more greater accountability for policing and in that, we mean greater intelligence in policing, so not random stop and searches that much more based on intelligence. again, more scrutiny panels involving young people so that the police can be held to account for various actions. many will now be watching closely to see how and when the new home secretary will bring in changes, to help keep our community safe. adina campbell, bbc news. the prime minister is completing his tour of the uk nations. sir keir starmer has arrived in wales — where he's meeting first minister, vaughan gething.

this morning, he held talks with party leaders in northern ireland. in a moment, we'll speak to our correspondent in belfast, chris page, but first let's speak to hywel griffith who's in cardiff. hywel, what'll be top of the agenda there? it looks like we have just lost that line so let's go to chris page in belfast. what was talked about this morning, chris?— morning, chris? well, of the three uk nations — morning, chris? well, of the three uk nations which _ morning, chris? well, of the three uk nations which keir— morning, chris? well, of the three uk nations which keir starmer - morning, chris? well, of the three uk nations which keir starmer is l uk nations which keir starmer is visiting on this tour, this is the one which has been the most politically unstable in recent times. the power—sharing coalition was only restored in february, after the latest in a series of political crises which have left northern ireland without a devolved government for five of the last seven years. now given this is a place where unionists have to share power with irish nationalist, relations are often fraught and it is very difficult for a prime minister to keep on the right side of everyone. but, actually, this

morning, all of the parties had pretty warm words for sir keir starmer and suggested he had laid the foundations for a good relationship. hundreds of new mps are arriving in parliament for the first time, ahead of the house of commons sitting tomorrow. for many, today is about getting to grips with the basics, and finding notjust their offices — but their way around too. our political correspondent david cornick is there. please welcome ed davey! no more campaign stance for the lib dems leader as he gave his record number of mps a pep talk. it leader as he gave his record number of mps a pep talk.— of mps a pep talk. it means one big thin to of mps a pep talk. it means one big thing to me. _ of mps a pep talk. it means one big thing to me. it— of mps a pep talk. it means one big thing to me, it was _ of mps a pep talk. it means one big thing to me, it was worth _ of mps a pep talk. it means one big thing to me, it was worth bungee . thing to me, it was worth bungee jumping! thing to me, it was worth bungee “uminu! �* , jumping! laughter the lib _ jumping! laughter the lib dems - jumping! laughter the lib dems have i jumping! laughter - the lib dems have plenty to celebrate but many of their new mps fresh to westminster will face a

be more domestically focused our number one on the agenda probably the fate of the tartar steel works in port talbot. last week, the company shut down one of its blast furnaces. it is due to close the second in september, with the loss of 2800 jobs across south wales, maybe three years and had an electric furnace is built. now, the government is already in discussions with tata trying to change its mind but if it doesn't, they need to talk about what is plan b, how will they help those thousands of workers, particularly those not ready to retire? also on the agenda, cache, of course. we know keir starmer is not coming here with a pocket full of check stand out but over the years, particularly the last few years, particularly the last few years, the welsh labour government here has always pointed to the treasury and a lack of fair funding as a reason it has been unable to solve problems in wales, particularly long, long waiting lists in the nhs. so will vaughan gething be able to convince him to give more money or at least change the funding formula for wales? if

they have a very private moment, then vaughan gething's own position might be up for discussion. he lost a vote of no confidence a few weeks ago in the senedd. some in welsh labour think now might be the time to change it. he will want to impress on keir starmer his importance in the general election campaign, which was very successful for welsh labour here, winning 27 out of 32 seats.— out of 32 seats. thank you. hywel griffith in cardiff. _ at 1.30 at1.30 we at 1.30 we will hear from voters about their priorities for the new government. and our political editor chris mason will be with us, to look ahead at what the first full week in power holds. the time is 1:14. our top story this afternoon. rachel reeves promises to make economic growth a national mission, in her first speech as chancellor. and searing heat claims the life of a motorcyclist in california's death valley, as las vegas breaks temperature records. coming up on bbc news...

700 wickets with his 188th test to come. we hearfrom england's record—breaking fast bowler james anderson as he prepares of his international swansong in the first test against west indies at lord's. a large series of daylight russian missile attacks has killed at least 20 people across ukraine. president zelensky said that five different cities had been targeted. dozens more people have been injured, and the country's biggest children's hospital in kyiv was hit and badly damaged. these are live pictures from the ukrainian capital, kyiv — you can see here the aftermath of a strike on a children's hospital. this report now from vitaly shevchenko. officials in kyiv called this one of the worst attacks on the ukrainian capital since the start of the russian invasion. one of the missiles hit the largest hospital

for children. so far, two people have been confirmed dead at the side of the attack but the ukrainian emergency services say more are believed to be trapped under the rubble. the dig emerging from the hospital should rescue workers, doctors in blood spattered gowns and ordinary residence helping to clear the debris and looking for survivors. pictures showed surviving children and their parents gathered outside the hospital in a state of shock. the ukrainian health minister says the hospital operating theatres and intensive care and cancer units have been hit. the kyiv mayor batali clitch, who visited the site called it awful and said it was an act of genocide. translation: this is a massive attack on the city. the children's hospital has been hit. the staff are doing everything to clear the rubble, there are some dead and the number is being clarified. the search and

rescue operation continues outside the hospital where the number of fatalities is expected to rise. other russian attacks launched on monday morning targeted major cities such as the dnipro. the ukrainian president �*s home city. the ukrainian president said the attack involve more than 40 missiles and 20 people have been confirmed dead so far. vitaly shevchenko, bbc news. france is facing political deadlock after the final round of voting in snap parliamentary elections. this time, there was a victory for the left—wing new popular front alliance, which pushed the far—right national rally into third place. in practice, it means that no party now has a majority in the country's national assembly and a mandate to govern. our correspondent in paris, hugh schofield, has the story. it's less than three weeks till the olympics and paris is abuzz with preparation.

truth is, the games have been rather eclipsed of late by the small matter of who's going to run the country. a day after elections to the national assembly, which saw the far—right disappointed, the left triumphant and the centre holding up, it's totally unclear which lot is going to be in charge. the thing about the french parliament, like westminster, is that it was designed for a two—party system — one party in, one party out in opposition. but what happens when there are three political blocs all roughly the same size, none of which can command a majority in the house and none of which wants to form an alliance with either of the others? answer — deadlock. last night, it was the left—wing new popular front that celebrated across the country. they want to name the next prime minister but they can't govern unless they form a deal with the centre, which would mean abandoning their manifesto. something, somewhere will have to give. this is an unprecedented situation in france in the fifth republic, this is really the first time it has happened.

so can we learn the art of compromise, which is so unusual for us? i hope so. nobody knows this morning. this morning, prime minister gabriel attal came to the elysees to offer his resignation — a formality which president macron declined. so the old government stays for now, desperately seeking a new coalition and, in the meantime, oh, yes, running those games. one question today is what happened to the hard right boot after all the predictions of another triumph, to collapse into third place and i think there are a number of answers, one is that they ran a bad campaign between the two rounds, either smugly assuming victory was theirs. the inadequacies of their candidates was exposed but you have to say this anti—far right sort of front worked

and a lot of people were afraid, afraid of what might happen if the national rally 13. in terms of civil unrest. the fact remains is that the ideas that propelled them to that position up favourite are still there, 10 million people voted a week ago for their ideas on immigration and law and order and they have not gone away but the irony now is we have a country and may be a continent moving more to the right and a parliament here and potentially a government leaning more and more to the left. back to you. hugh, thank you. the ballot has opened today for workers at amazon to decide whether they want to be represented by a trade union. it would be the first time the online giant recognised a trade union for its staff in the uk. 40% of workers at the coventry site would have to vote in favour for the gmb union to represent them. amazon says it values a �*direct relationship' with its employees. a woman from oxfordshire who recently admitted giving her terminally ill

son a fatal overdose more than 40 years ago has died. antonya cooper, who was 77, had cancer. ms cooper said she gave her then seven—year—old son, hamish, a lethal dose of morphine to "end his suffering". she spoke out in an effort to change the law on assisted dying. the indian prime minister, narendra modi has arrived in moscow on his first visit since russia invaded ukraine almost two—and—a—half years ago. india has benefitted from western sanctions on russia, which means it can buy its fuel at deep discounts. mr modi has refused to criticise russia's actions in ukraine, insisting he remains neutral. more than 50—million people in the united states are on heat alert, as the west of the country experiences a record breaking heatwave. las vegas recorded its highest temperatures on record yesterday, and death valley in california is bracing for the same in the next few days. thomas magill has more.

blistering hot temperatures in death valley, where the record for the hottest place on earth is expected to be broken during this unprecedented heatwave. it's already delivered temperatures of more than 130 degrees, and that's been drawing thrillseekers to the area. how many people in the world can say they've been to the hottest place in the world? i take a weird sense of pride in it, like being like an adventure, that i can handle... i've been in northern vermont in the wintertime in —20 and now i've been in the hottest place in the world. honestly, it's definitely shocking. i don't know how anything can survive out here. - but experts are warning the extremely hot temperatures, which are currently affecting around 36 million americans, could lead to heat stress. one visitor to the area died on sunday from heat exposure, and this so—called heat dome remains over california. there's no mistaking how hot it is.

you start to feel it on your skin, in your eyes, they start to dry, start to almost hurt a little bit over time. so it is quite the experience. that's why we really recommend that visitors minimise their exposure if they are coming to death valley in the summer. firefighters are continuing to battle wildfires across parts of california, as temperatures soar in nevada and death valley — already the hottest place on earth after 134 degrees was recorded there in 1913. scientists say it's hard to link individual weather events to climate change but say extreme events are becoming more common and more intense. thomas magill, bbc news. novak djokovic says he expects �*fireworks on court�* when he tries to reach the wimbledon quarter—finals later. he�*s taking on the danish player holger rune — 16 years hisjunior — as he tries to land a record 25th grand slam victory. our sports reporterjo currie is outside centre court.

an exciting match in prospect? so many star players went out in week one of wimbledon, novak djokovic may be coming near the end of his career but if he wants to reach the quarterfinals he will have to beat someone or at the beginning of his career. holger rune is 16 years younger than novak djokovic and someone that the serbian has described as a spectacular player and a very tricky opponent. djokovic eyeing up an eighth title at the all england club at that would take him level with roger federer but he and holger rune, guaranteed to get on with the roof as they are at the last match on centre court but tournament organisers will be praying for no more rain today. saying the bad weather this year has made it challenging in terms of scheduling and the tournament coil

and ball boys have found their merit when it comes to the court covers even when given a helping hand by novak djokovic himself. the defeat of ever read caddy ended hopes of british hopes in the tournament, coming with mixed emotions for the 21—year—old, disappointing to be knocked out by her qualifying opponent, not helped by her slipping but she says this performance at wimbledon this year will go down as her best performance at a major since the surprise victory at the us open in 2021. jo, thank you. and fingers crossed for that weather later. england are preparing to face the netherlands in the euro 2024 semi finals on wednesday. gareth southgate will be hoping the dramatic win on penalities energises his team, as he becomes the first england manager to lead the national side to three major tournament semi—finals. john watson joins us from dortmund. how�*s the mood there?

it is building and the fans will be arriving in the coming days and the penalty shoot—out success will hopefully give england the spark they need but it�*s interesting to be talking about gareth southgate and his record as england manager when you consider the success he has had. the run to the final of the european championships last time, the quarterfinals of the world cup, semifinals before that and he�*s actually one more knockout matches at major tournaments than any of the england manager is combined since the 1966 world cup. there has been a disconnect between the fans, frustration over some performances and i think frustrations amongst gareth southgate himself who perhaps link the england supporters do not recognise that it has not always been this good and they have not fared so well when it comes to the knockout matches at major tournaments. the way those supporters were celebrating alongside the manager and the players after the penalty shoot—out

victory over switzerland is perhaps an acceptance from them that if they are to go all the way it is not through the free—flowing football they would have hoped for but they are winning and that is the crucial thing. they will hope that continues but as the fans arrive here, in dortmund, over the coming days ahead of the game on wednesday night, you would feel with the change in dynamic and atmosphere among supporters and the recent success that gareth southgate has had, perhaps that could stand them in good stead if and it is a big if england can go all the way. john, thank you. a reminder of our top headline this afternoon. rachel reeves promises to make economic growth a �*national mission�*, in her first speech as chancellor. and the actorjoanna page talks about the gavin and stacey finale, and her newjob as a wildlife volunteer. we�*ll have a full forecast in the next half hour, but it�*s time now for a quick look at the weather. here�*s elizabeth rizzini.

thank you. it has felt like a very wetjuly and so far and this chart shows you how much rainfall has fallen over the last week for all of our nations, compared to the monthly average so as you see some parts of england already seeing a whole month of rainfall and a lot of that fell over the course of the weekend. your next question will be is it going to last, is there more rain to come and the answer is yes! all the details later in the programme.- the answer is yes! all the details later in the programme. as the chancellor, rachel reeves, promises the government will work to boost the uk�*s ecomomic growth, what might that look like? nina warhurst has been to one cafe in greater manchester to find out what families and small businesses are hoping for. getting the economy moving is a journey and it starts with a basic bread and butter issue. people just aren�*t spending like they used to. yeah, i have noticed a lot of change, obviously the amount

of money people use to spend on their drinks and food has gone down an awful lot recently. james, his son braith and kim rely on a food charity to get by, still working on her late 60s, this is not where kim expected to be. pensioners use it, young people use it, all sorts of families, because nobody is getting any help and i'm just hoping that the new chancellor will be helping. braith needs his dad�*s full—time care but they say state support left them homeless for 18 months. it�*s got increasingly difficult, very hard now. really, we�*ve never been as poor as we are right now. it's terribly difficult. this chair that i'm in right now, we had to finance through the community. this is paid through the kindness of strangers. we�*d just like to be treated with a bit of respect, even if they don�*t give us more cash. they told us it was going to be ten months first to get a wheelchair and i was going to be bedbound

for ten months. voters were clear on thursday, they are ready for a change. but for the chancellor�*s vision to work, well, she will have to be sure that investors and businesses are on board, too. so far, private investors seem to have taken this new government very much in stride. in fact, we saw the ftse 250, which is the home of the more domestically focused listed companies in the uk, we saw that up on friday following the election victory, which just suggests that investors are tentatively confident they are ready to engage with labour and rachel reeves. the weeks ahead will be crucial. signalling change is one thing, arriving at the right destination is another. nina warhurst, bbc news. it�*s going to be a very busy week for the government. the new parliament sits for the first time tomorrow and one of its tasks is to elect the speaker of the house of commons. sir keir starmer is then due to fly

to washington for the nato leaders�* summit, where he�*ll meet us president, joe biden, and reaffirm the uk�*s support for ukraine. the king�*s speech is expected to take place on 17th july — setting out the government�*s legislative programme and priorities. king charles will read the speech in the house of lords, marking the state opening of parliament. our political editor, chris mason, joins us now from westminster. it isa it is a packed diary but how typical is that for a new government? goad is that for a new government? good afternoon, is that for a new government? good afternoon. it — is that for a new government? good afternoon. it is _ is that for a new government? good afternoon, it is typical _ is that for a new government? (13mm afternoon, it is typical because a new government, especially when there has been a change of party after the election once to demonstrate a sense of dynamism and drive and purpose, even though frankly everyone in this postcode is completely exhausted after the general election campaign. we have seen the prime minister keir starmer hurtling around the uk as you

hello again. we are in to the second week at wimbledon and the championships no longer have any british players, or eight of the top ten women�*s seeds, but novak djokovic and alex zverev are among those trying to make sure the top players in the men�*s draw make it to the quarterfianls. let�*s head to chetan pathak. chetan, it�*s the last of the fourth round matches today. it is. for now, the rain is staying away, although the forecast has not been great. we have doubles, junior is on the outside courts, but we are focused for this hunt to quarterfinals. emma raducanu did not make it true yesterday. there is

known british interest left, until the wheelchair tournament starts later in the week. emma raducanu understands there is a cloud over her decision not to play with andy murray, and andy murray is not happy, supposedly, saying he is very disappointed, but said you have to prioritise your health. this run to the forthright will give further fuel to push on and you will be back inside the world top 100. coco gauff is up, eager so on this out. elena was is the overwhelming favourite. we are getting under way for her match. there is early enough. your opponent is seeded 17th, the only player who has reached this far who

hasn�*t done this on grass before. she has struggled before on the surface. alanna is the favourite, only dropped one set so far at these championships. elaine ulster bank has reached the quarterfinals here before. danielle collins is going to try and get through today, this is in herfinal year. try and get through today, this is in herfinalyear. in try and get through today, this is in herfinal year. in terms of try and get through today, this is in her final year. in terms of the members might drop, court number one,, the first set in the first game has just one,, the first set in the first game hasjust finished.

alex de minaur is also playing. we are not sure about novak djokovic this year. you can see so far it is alex de minaur who has played his own way. alex de minaur said he would love to play novak djokovic here at wimbledon. we will see him later on, he is up against holger rune. that is the final match on centre court. if england�*s games at euro 2024 have so far lacked the kind of football you�*re used to watching in the premier league, one of their semifinal opponents is predicting that will change in dortmund on wednesday night. spurs defender micky van de ven is one of a host of players in the netherlands squad with experience of playing in england and he�*s expecting a match more domestic in style

than international. he see the quality of the players from both teams, i think the rhythm and level of the game will be really high. hopefully it is that have more of the ball than england so it is more england running, but i expect a high—intensity game. with so much attention focused on the european championship and wimbledon, it�*s easy to forget that england�*s test cricket summer starts on wednesday. they take on the west indies in the first of three tests at lord�*s, which will be james anderson�*s last as an england player. anderson, of course, has been one of the game�*s most skilful and prolific bowlers, with his haul of 700 standing third in the all—time list and unparalled in pace bowling. he�*s been speaking to the media this morning. it's it�*s been a strange couple of months. but, yeah, ifeel pretty

happy with where things are now and i�*m pretty excited for the week, as well. having quite a few friends and family come time for the week is good and i have had a lot of people who have stopped me in the street or who have stopped me in the street or who have stopped me in the street or who have met out don�*t about say they�*re coming to the game. i think they�*re coming to the game. i think the fact i�*m planning my 188 test just short of 42 years old, that makes me most pride, being able to play this long, the fact that i�*ve committed to playing for this long and trying to just push myself to be the best i possibly can be. that is all i have ever done and even though i know i have one game left, i still try to train as hard as i ever have to get myself in a position where i can play well for the team.- can play well for the team. when an bod can play well for the team. when anybody comes _ can play well for the team. when anybody comes to _ can play well for the team. when anybody comes to the _ can play well for the team. when anybody comes to the end - can play well for the team. when anybody comes to the end of- can play well for the team. when anybody comes to the end of a i anybody comes to the end of a career. — anybody comes to the end of a career. ii— anybody comes to the end of a

the series against england comes in the wake of the devastation caused by hurricane beryl, which prompted the king to give a donation to some of those caribbean islands affected. now to rugby union and france have suspended melvyn jaminet after he posted a video on social media with a racist comment. the toulon full—back helped france beat argentina on saturday and has since deleted the instagram post, insisting racism in all its forms is unacceptable and that he�*s deeply sorry and ashamed, but the french rugby federation have sentjaminet home, saying it condemns the comments the player made. paralympicsgb have announced the ten rowers to represent great britain across four boats at paris 2024. there will be three champions attempting to retain their titles, while of the six making their first appearance at the games, former royal engineer commando gregg stevenson will be making his paralympic debut at the age of 39, teaming up with two time gold medallist lauren rowles.

this cycle, i�*ve really tried to enjoy the process, enjoyed the small winds along the way. it has been held by the fact that i have been successful this title, i�*ve had two world championship bronze medals, my first international goal two weeks ago. you can enjoy those small moments, but in paris, i don�*t know whether it�*ll be my last or if i will continue on. whether it'll be my last or if i will continue on.— whether it'll be my last or if i will continue on. i've got to it. to be able to — will continue on. i've got to it. to be able to wear— will continue on. i've got to it. to be able to wear the _ will continue on. i've got to it. to be able to wear the kit _ will continue on. i've got to it. to be able to wear the kit for - will continue on. i've got to it. to be able to wear the kit for me - will continue on. i've got to it. to be able to wear the kit for me forj will continue on. i've got to it. to i be able to wear the kit for me for a third _ be able to wear the kit for me for a third time — be able to wear the kit for me for a third time round, ten years ago when i third time round, ten years ago when i started _ third time round, ten years ago when i started this — third time round, ten years ago when i started thisjourney, make my first paralympic games in rio, i felt that— first paralympic games in rio, i felt that the world had opened up for me _ felt that the world had opened up for me and i had achieved my childhood _ for me and i had achieved my childhood dream, and sat here ten years— childhood dream, and sat here ten years later, — childhood dream, and sat here ten years later, i feel that excitement ten times— years later, i feel that excitement ten times multiplied. to have the privilege — ten times multiplied. to have the privilege to watch some of the guys io privilege to watch some of the guys go to— privilege to watch some of the guys go to the _ privilege to watch some of the guys go to the first time in the squad, it brings — go to the first time in the squad, it brings back all those feelings that i_ it brings back all those feelings that i had. there�*s a lot more sports news on the bbc website. that is also where you can follow

seen here as a child, lived with his dad, who was treated here for cancer in the last days of his life. we had nurses coming in feeding him through a tube through his stomach in a place that was infested with cockroaches, mice, rodents. i mean, it made a bad experience, really bad experience, much worse. after 18 months of requesting repairs with no response, he went public with his complaints and then started to help others. like this family, when this boy died after his second birthday because of exposure to mould in his own home. he was always full of smiles, he liked to joke and was full of life and laughter. last year, the government began the process to introduce awaab�*s law, which would require landlords to fix reported health hazards within a set timeframe. if they are serious, there are ways to tackle this crisis but people deserve a safe, stable and affordable place to live. people in social housing

in the private rented sector do not have that and they want this government to deliver that for them. devon aaron was killed when a lorry hit his grandad�*s car on a smart motorway. the court that the eight—year—old was then stopped in a lane being moved by using traffic.— was then stopped in a lane being moved by using traffic. there is no wa to moved by using traffic. there is no way to describe _ moved by using traffic. there is no way to describe the _ moved by using traffic. there is no way to describe the grief, - moved by using traffic. there is no way to describe the grief, their i way to describe the grief, their birthdays every year, the christmases.— birthdays every year, the christmases. ., , ., , ., christmases. plans for new smart motorways _ christmases. plans for new smart motorways have _ christmases. plans for new smart motorways have been _ christmases. plans for new smart motorways have been pause i christmases. plans for new smart| motorways have been pause while their safety is being looked at. the lock means automatic braking systems would be compulsory in new course. but now, without the safety regulations, we are not leading as a country in terms of saving standards. every single human being deserves to leave their home and be the destination safely.— the destination safely. martin was one of 22 people _ the destination safely. martin was one of 22 people who _ the destination safely. martin was one of 22 people who died - the destination safely. martin was one of 22 people who died when i the destination safely. martin was one of 22 people who died when aj one of 22 people who died when a bomb was detonated at an ariana grande concert in manchester. i am

jo, lovely to meet you. nice to meet you! where are we, what is this place? we are in surrey and we�*re at the wildlife hospital for wildlife aid. lead the way, show me around. follow me, come and meet the wildlife! so what�*s this about? well, i�*ve been volunteering for about ten weeks now, and i�*m training to, well, i�*m training in animal husbandry, and i�*m training to become a wildlife care assistant. it�*s all for a forthcoming tv series, butjo really is putting in the hours with what is a sort of a&e for foxes, hedgehogs and even pigeons. so did you honestlyjust say you triaged a pigeon? yes, i�*ve triaged many things now. can we go and see a hedgehog, please? yes, of course, follow me! i love a hedgehog. ok, so this is the little hutch here. these are all the little hutches. mel, can i have the gauntlets? there we are.

oh! when i first started, i was told that it�*s, obviously it�*s wildlife and lots of animals come in and it�*s not always happy endings, because it�*s nature and nature is hard and nature is cruel. so you are encouraged not to bond with them. you know, you come here... but you have, haven�*t you? well, obviously i have! he�*s doing ok, isn�*t he? oh, he�*s doing incredibly well. i�*ve never asked this question before. yeah? could i hold your hedgehog? yeah! right, ok, we�*ve got some movement here. there we are. and so began a crash course in hedgehog handling. jo�*s quite the expert with our prickly friends. there we go, that�*s it, you�*ve got him. i�*m not going to drop... fantastic. i�*ve got a little bit of... there we go. i�*ll put that out. this is a very special moment. there we go. i�*ve never held a hedgehog before. isn�*t it the most wonderful thing? i so want one in my garden. don�*t you feel actually so privileged to be able to have

this opportunity of being so close to wildlife and to a little hedgehog? it�*s just wonderful. i�*m enjoying myself too much here. and after we returned alan, it was time for pigeon rehab. bye, alan. wait until you see these pigeons. so lovely, so lovely. pigeons? no—one cares about pigeons. do you know what, right? i really enjoyed cleaning all of the pigeons�* cages and then putting new newspaper down and theirfood in. you�*re a bit odd, aren�*t you? well, no, i enjoy doing that because you can sort of somehow tell that a pigeon will appreciate it, whereas when i do it for my four children at home, i genuinely don�*t think they appreciate it. the pigeons give you more love than the kids? the pigeons do, i think the pigeons give me more respect than the kids! but enough of pigeons. time for the important questions. how have you ended up doing this? i�*ve always loved animals, i mean, always loved animals. it�*s not your dayjob, though, is it, this? no, my dayjob is an actress and a mother of four. can you believe we�*re actually gonna meet tomorrow? it's only 17 hours to go now, babes.

which takes us to stacey, of gavin and stacey. i�*m tracking something, i am. it should have arrived by now. we�*ve followed jo and the rest of the cast over 18 years and this christmas, we�*re going to finally see a resolution to this cliff—hanger. i loves you... ..with all my heart. more than 18 million of us watched nessa propose to smithy. we�*ve only had to wait... will you marry me? what? five years, isn�*t it? i know, well, i�*m the same as everybody else back home. i can�*t wait to find out what�*s happened, because i remember all those years ago reading the script for the last special, and i was doing it on my phone, and i got to the end, and then it says, "nessa goes down on one knee and says, you know, will you marry me?" i can�*t remember what she says. and i remember going on scrolling and going, what, what? that can�*t be the end, that can�*t be the end. what does he say, what does he say?

so i�*m the same as everybody. what happens... you must know. no, don�*t know anything. not even seen a script. so ijust hope, because i�*ve not seen anything, that i haven�*t, you know, signed on to be running around on barry beach in a bikini because i�*m not doing that at the age of 47! oh, my god, ness, how old are you here? i reckon i�*m about 17. which would put me around the 35 mark. it�*s going to be so funny getting us all together again and just seeing what we�*re all like, and we have, we�*ve alljust grown up and, yeah. did you have any clue when it first started? when i read it, i thought it was just so well written and it made me laugh. but when i read the part all those years ago, i thought, "oh, my gosh, nobody else can play this, this is me. this is my family." so, she�*s so close to me that ifeel very, you know, very happy playing stacey. that�*s why it�*s special, is because everyone recognises their own family somewhere in it, don�*t they? yes, yes. there are so many things that uncle bryn has said that i�*ve thought, "oh, my gosh, my dad has said that or my uncle has."

and now as i�*m getting older, i hear myself say things and i think, �*oh, my god, uncle bryn would say that�*. for the time has come. you don't have to do this, bryn. not on christmas! christmas, schmistmas. i know you know something. i genuinely don�*t. i bet you do. honestly, i cross my heart. there�*s no—one listening, there�*s no—one listening here. cross my heart, i can�*t even tell you anything. cross my heart, literally know nothing. i cannot give you anything at all. well, you�*re definitely in it, aren�*t you? i can tell you i am in it, yes! that�*s not much of a spoiler, is it? i am in it. that�*s all? that�*s it, that�*s all i can say. that�*s our exclusive. that�*s it. i don�*t think that�*s much of a... jo, this has been the most joyous, joyous time. so lovely! and i promise you, i haven�*t got a hedgehog in here. well, i think i need to search you before you leave. thank you very much for helping me with the animals but you will be searched before you leave. because i wouldn�*t be surprised if you smuggled a hedgehog out!

maybe he has! now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. it was cloudy as you can see from that last report in surrey. let�*s take a look at what is going on towards the south—west. we have an area of low pressure that will be pushing for north, there is all the cloud across the south of england and south wales. some patches of rain which will turn heavier in south—west england by the end of today. scotland and northern ireland, scattering the showers but sunny spells, generally cloudy and wet in eastern scotland and some showers from the midlands northwards but not that many and for many of us it will stay dry. the best of the sunshine, we could see temperatures reached 20 or 21 degrees. no such luck at wimbledon. the south, it is a cloudy story, some brighter spells

but always the chance of a shower today and tomorrow with temperatures peaking in the high teens. all of that rain is going to start to creep further north as we head through tonight, some heavy downpours over the murders in the south—west. the rain reaching northern england into north wales by the time we get to dawn tomorrow, dragging in warm and humid air. for scotland and northern ireland it�*s clear spells and a chilly start. the rain is coming. that will push into northern england across northern ireland, southern and central areas of scotland, eastern scotland by the end of the day and the warm and humid air in the south. the when picking up across eastern scotland, brisk and rather chilly. in the warmer air towards the south, if we do get breaks in the cloud, we could see highs of 22 degrees but that could help to spark some short showers. what happens afterwards? we still have a lot of rain across eastern

scotland from this weather front and the brisk easterly wind and then warm rain appearing towards the south of the uk as we head through thursday and friday. in summary, for the capital cities, difficult to put the capital cities, difficult to put the fine details on it but looks very much as if we will stay unsettled, more rain at times, some dry weather with brighter spells but temperatures dropping again by the time we get to the end of the week. elizabeth, thank you so much. that�*s all from today�*s bbc news at one. from me and the team here, thanks for watching. goodbye.
