his plans a reality. the court heard the extent of the shock and fear felt by holly willoughby had been life—changing. so gavin plumb — sentenced to life — will serve a minimum of 16 years in prison. let's speak to our corresepondent, lizo mzimba, who's outside court. mrjustice murray gave his remarks here at chelmsford crown court earlier. as you say, he said he was satisfied that the offences had been life changing for holly willoughby, both privately and professionally. he also detailed the factors that he was taking into account when reaching his sentencing aggravation. the fact that gavin plumb had prior convictions for sexually motivated crimes against women. the detailed planning he had carried out, the way he had purchased items including the restraint kit. his research into holly willoughby�*s personal life and the fact he had tried to assemble

more than one person to help him in his endeavours to kidnap, rape and two murder holly willoughby. in mitigation, he took into account that the plot was unlikely to succeed because many factors, including gavin plumb�*s gross obesity at the time, he weighed something between 25—30 stone. but he gave those details earlier at chelmsford crown court and he actually spoke about the exact sentence he was going to pass on gavin plumb. it sentence he was going to pass on gavin plumb-— gavin plumb. it is clear from the evidence. _ gavin plumb. it is clear from the evidence, including _ gavin plumb. it is clear from the evidence, including your- gavin plumb. it is clear from the evidence, including your prior i evidence, including your prior convictions, that you pose a significant risk to women generally. i significant risk to women generally. i find _ significant risk to women generally. i find in _ significant risk to women generally. i find in other words that you are dangerous — i find in other words that you are dangerous. having regard to the seriousness of each of your offences individually— seriousness of each of your offences individually and together, as well as everything else i know about you, including _ as everything else i know about you, including the facts of your prior

of holly willoughby, he targeted four other women and teenage girls. maria is one of them. plumb attempted to kidnap herfrom a train. i remember the train being empty. there was another girl. she got onto the same carriage as i did. she sat somewhere in the middle. i went to the back. when i noticed that somebody came and sat right in front of me and i thought, "well, the carriage is empty." she's never spoken before about what happened to her but agreed to speak to me on the condition her voice was disguised. he passed me a note. i mean, i thought it'sjust some piece of paper. i didn't even look what he was doing, i ignored it. then he pushed it forward for me to read. and when i read it, it was something... something along the lines of, "get off the train with me. be quiet. um... don't do anything. get off the train with me and nothing will happen to anybody." he had a rope and replica gun on him.

and as i read that note, it was only then i looked at the person. so, my first impression was that he is huge. i have no chance. so, there was this moment when i was just frozen and scared. but it was also disbelief. i thought, maybe he'sjoking? i mean, it's absurd, but he started pointing and showing me to stay quiet and he started approaching me with his hands. he held his hand on my knee and was indicating that we're going to go. in the note, it said, "get off with me at the next station." and after the initial freeze and disbelief, i realised what was going on. i was frightened, that feeling was growing because i started realising that this massive man wants to get me off the train. i knew the next station is just a small village. at this point of time, there'll probably be nobody there.

i mean, it's surrounded by bushes and woods and i had all the worst scenarios cooking in my head. the other woman in the carriage noticed maria was in distress and raised the alarm. gavin plumb fled but was arrested after trying to kidnap another woman from a train. he was given a suspended sentence for those crimes. he'd later go on to falsely imprison two teenage girls in the shop he worked at. how did you feel when the holly willoughby case, it hit the newspapers, and presumably the police "look, the person who did this to you has been arrested?" he did something that was bad enough to finally find him guilty and keep him in custody to keep him away from society. i do feel for holly because obviously she had to go through it in the spotlight and it must be difficult. you do not want your name to be attached to a person like gavin plumb, and this is one of the reasons i want to remain anonymous.

i don't want to be associated with him in any way. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. more on that story a little later here in our programme. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after three women were killed in hertfordshire. carol, hannah and louise hunt were found badly injured at their home in bushey on tuesday evening, and died at the scene. let's speak to our correspondent, helena wilkinson, who is in bushey. bring us right up to date with the latest developments there. matthew, we had this development _ latest developments there. matthew, we had this development from - we had this development from hertfordshire police in the last couple of hours. the update is, as you've mentioned, that a man has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of murder. kyle clifford remains in a serious

position in hospital. you will recall that huge manhunt for him when many, many officers were out trying to find kyle clifford, who was eventually located to a cemetery in enfield in north london. he had suffered injuried, found with injuries. he was then taken to a london hospital where he remains. but he has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of murder. the victims, as we have been reporting, are the wife and two daughters of the bbc racing commentatorjohn hunt, they are carol hunt, hannah hunt and louise hunt. we also know the police have recovered a crossbow in their investigation, so that was seen in bushey where that investigation and forensic work is continuing. they have slightly moved back the core done and they have moved back all of the flowers, the many bouquets that have been left for all of the victims, moved to the front garden

of the family home. and that is where bouquets of flowers and balloons are, but also that investigation is continuing, there are still a number of police officers at the same. at the latest development from hertfordshire police in this investigation, kyle clifford, 26—year—old, has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of murder. he remains in a serious condition in hospital. thank ou ve serious condition in hospital. thank you very much- _ serious condition in hospital. thank you very much. two _ serious condition in hospital. thank you very much. two america... - president biden has insisted, he is still the most qualified candidate to take on donald trump in november's us election — despite making two errors that stunned an audience at a press conference in washington. he mistakenly introduced the ukrainian's president zelensky as "president putin" when hejoined him on stage. later, he referred to his deputy, kamala harris, as "vice president trump". dozens more democratic party politicians are expected to add their voices to calls for mr biden to step aside. here's jarred hill from cbs.

we are hearing more democrats in congress saying they believejoe biden should step down as the nominee. the reason we are hearing more so now is that they feel he is not an effective communicator of the successes of his presidency and there are some concerns among democrats that having joe biden at the top of the ticket could spell chaos for the rest of the democrats who are running in congress, in the senate as well as the house of representatives. we are also hearing that there is the possibility that now that there is a nato summit has ended, there could be dozens more democrats coming out to say they believe president biden should step aside. while we wait to see exactly when that happens, if that happens, and the level of democrats. are these people in leadership that come out to make those statements? let's speak to scarlett maguire, director at polling companyjl partners, which has been carrying out extensive polling of us voters.

welcome back to the programme. tell me where you have been polling and tell me a little about the detail of what people have been saying to you aboutjoe biden and age? we what people have been saying to you about joe biden and age?— about joe biden and age? we have been polling _ about joe biden and age? we have been polling nationally. _ about joe biden and age? we have been polling nationally. other- been polling nationally. other companies have been polling in key swing states. we can talk about that as well. we have been polling nationally and we have found that people are very concerned aboutjoe biden pass age, his abilities and particularly about that debate performance that he did just over a week ago. just performance that he did 'ust over a week auo. , , ., performance that he did 'ust over a weekauo. , ., ., ., ., week ago. just give me a flavour of the sorts of — week ago. just give me a flavour of the sorts of things _ week ago. just give me a flavour of the sorts of things people - week ago. just give me a flavour of the sorts of things people are - the sorts of things people are saying. are you talking about voters across the board, about specifically independence? which particular ones? we did a reaction pull to the debate, which was actually with independent voters, and they were heavily critical. a majority of them believe that biden's performance after that debate was down to

dementia. and then they were critical about everything else. you can see with the american electorate as a whole, too. we found that one in four voters thought that biden would not be able to stay awake or stay cognisant enough throughout a cuban missile crisis style event. we also found that one in three don't even think biden would survive anotherfour even think biden would survive another four years, whatever hypothetical term that might be. and then others found similarly damning things. 0nly then others found similarly damning things. only 42% of democrats are happy that biden be their nominee, if indeed he is still is, in november. whichever way you look at it, even the headline numbers, they are tight between him and donald trump. much tighter margins than we are used in uk elections, certainly. but they are moving in the wrong direction for biden. biden won the popular point by five points in 2020, so anything that shows in favour of donald trump is... so many

different strands _ favour of donald trump is... so many different strands of _ favour of donald trump is... so many different strands of information. - different strands of information. reports that the biden campaign are testing polling of harris versus trump for the first time to look at alternatives. have you tested that? any alternative name? how they would marry applicants donald trump? testing hypotheticals can be a tricky thing to do. people are quite bad imagining how things would be. but we have done. i think there is just more bad news. if you are a prominent democrat at the moment. there is no obvious easy successor to him. even the other options, not necessarily mainly there would be a clear win for the democrats even against such an unpopular candidate as donald trump is in the us as a whole. ~ ., ., ., whole. we have to leave it there. fascinating- _ whole. we have to leave it there. fascinating. thank _ whole. we have to leave it there. fascinating. thank you _ whole. we have to leave it there. fascinating. thank you so - whole. we have to leave it there. fascinating. thank you so much l whole. we have to leave it there. i fascinating. thank you so much for joining us here in the programme. before we move on, ijust want to

reference the pictures you have been seeing alongside me on the screen, because we are waiting for that england news conference. it is due to start in the next couple of minutes. 0llie watkins is going to be posting that conference with all of the build that person they's final. just as soon as that starts, we will cross to germany and carry it live. another story to get to before all of that. some prisoners in england and wales are set to be released early, after completing 40% of their sentence under new government plans which are expected to be announced shortly. the proposals, aimed at reducing overcrowding, are similar to those that were being looked at by the conservatives and are expected to apply to low—level offenders. with me is mark day, deputy director of the prison reform trust. welcome to the studio. before we get to some of what we are expecting to be announced, just give me your assessment of the crisis that there is in the prison service? keir starmer was talking in washington yesterday, he said it was much worse

than he had anticipated. the yesterday, he said it was much worse than he had anticipated.— than he had anticipated. the prison s stem than he had anticipated. the prison system has — than he had anticipated. the prison system has been _ than he had anticipated. the prison system has been in _ than he had anticipated. the prison system has been in crisis _ than he had anticipated. the prison system has been in crisis since - than he had anticipated. the prison system has been in crisis since the | system has been in crisis since the end of 2022. and under emergency measures to ensure that there is sufficient capacity to meet what is a rising demand. the prison population under current projections is predicted to rise by as high as 114,000 by is predicted to rise by as high as "11,000 by march is predicted to rise by as high as 114,000 by march 2028. is predicted to rise by as high as "11,000 by march 2028. this is currently at around 88,000. so it is quite a staggering rise. the previous government attempted to build its way out of that crisis. that failed. so we are now in a situation where we have to introduce emergency measures. if situation where we have to introduce emergency measures.— emergency measures. if there were not emergency _ emergency measures. if there were not emergency measures _ emergency measures. if there were | not emergency measures introduced today, where are we with places remaining and what are the numbers of vacant cells that normally the system needs to make it work properly? system needs to make it work --roerl ? system needs to make it work ro erl ? . , system needs to make it work ro erl ? ., , , , , properly? the latest figures suggest that we only — properly? the latest figures suggest that we only have _ properly? the latest figures suggest that we only have around _ properly? the latest figures suggest that we only have around 700 - that we only have around 700 available places left in the system.

and with the numbers coming in at the moment, thatjust gives you a matter of days and weeks in terms of available capacity. so these emergency measures are absolutely vital to avoid dangerous levels of overcrowding, which can compromise the safety of both staff and prisoners, but also to stop the pre—criminaljustice system literally grinding to a halt, meaning that there is no where to put people sentenced by the courts. and police cells are sometimes then required, and that grinds up the system. if these measures that have been widely anticipated are announced by the justice secretary in the next little while, it is said it will give the government a window of opportunity for around 18 months with the relief on those places. you were talking about. what should happen and those 18 months? i were talking about. what should happen and those 18 months? i think what these prison _ happen and those 18 months? i think what these prison system _ happen and those 18 months? i think what these prison system needs - happen and those 18 months? i think what these prison system needs so l what these prison system needs so desperately are some breathing space. it needs time to recuperate

from what has been an extremely difficult time with the rising numbers of people coming into prison, but also we have underinvestment in our prison infrastructure as well. so watch this time will give us is some vital breathing space for the prison system to recover, but beyond that and beyond emergency measures, we really need to have a proper look at the use of imprisonment in this country. the government has promised a sentencing review, and in the longer term this is where we need to look to bring the use of prison down to a more proportionate level. so thatis to a more proportionate level. so that is the area that you hope the government goes in in terms of direction, which is who is actually being sent to prison, are the right people being sent to prison, rather than just building people being sent to prison, rather thanjust building more prisons? it thanjust building more prisons? it cannot be about building more prisons because we only have limited money available in terms of the public finances, and it is like increasing the size of the motorway, new increased capacity but that soon

gets filled up by people coming in. so we need to look not only at ensuring sufficient capacity but looking at our use of prison and our sentencing framework and whether it is truly effective. find sentencing framework and whether it is truly effective.— is truly effective. and it is every asect of is truly effective. and it is every aspect of prisons? _ is truly effective. and it is every aspect of prisons? we - is truly effective. and it is every aspect of prisons? we know - is truly effective. and it is every | aspect of prisons? we know that is truly effective. and it is every i aspect of prisons? we know that in terms of insight, the conditions in so many of these prisons are absolutely dire?— absolutely dire? yes, and particularly _ absolutely dire? yes, and particularly in _ absolutely dire? yes, and particularly in our - absolutely dire? yes, and particularly in our large i absolutely dire? yes, and i particularly in our large local inner—city prisons, and this is where the overcrowding is most acute and where these measures could potentially have the most benefit. thank you so much for coming in and talking to us. we are expecting to hear from the justice talking to us. we are expecting to hear from thejustice secretary talking to us. we are expecting to hear from the justice secretary a little later. as soon as that announcement is made, we will carry it live here on bbc news. we are expecting that in the next little while. four migrants have drowned while trying to cross the english channel in a small boat. the french navy responded to reports last night, that several people had gone overboard.

56 people were rescued — nine remain in a serious condition. the latest deaths are a reminder of the dangerous lengths people will go to to reach the uk. at the moment, no new asylum seekers are being processed. 0ur uk correspondent, daniel sandford, has spoken to two people who are stuck in legal limbo, waiting to see whether the new government will change the policy and allow their claims to be dealt with. reporting to the police in luton as he has to every fortnight, suhaibjaber is an asylum seeker from syria whose application has made no progress for 20 months. along with more than 100,000 others, he's stuck in legal limbo with no way out. and this week, hundreds more people arrived illegally across the english channel on small boats. under a law passed by the conservative government last year, none of them can be granted asylum. so the list of people in limbo just grows. it's the only thing that i want —

just to treat us like human beings, not numbers. i'm nota number. suhaib arrived illegally by boat in 2022, but having been tortured by the assad regime and the islamic state group, he has a good chance of getting asylum in the uk — if his case is looked at. instead, he was warned he might be sent to rwanda and, with his family still in turkey, he hopes the new government will unblock cases like his so he can see his kids again. my children grow up without me. some of them even doesn't know me. sometimes my youngest daughter, she looks at me and she's, like, trying to discover me. so, who's that? and because cases like his are not being processed, the accommodation bill isjust growing. it's costing taxpayers millions of pounds a day. this week, this entire holiday inn, south of luton, was still given over to asylum seekers.

the conservative government has essentially taken away the right for a refugee to come here and ask to be given safety, to be given asylum. and that needs to be fixed. it needs to be fixed very quickly by dealing with people's cases in a timely and efficient fashion. yani told me she's fleeing persecution in east africa and asked us not to use her real name. she'd been in asylum limbo for a year when, in may, she was suddenly detained and told she was being sent to rwanda. a victim of trafficking, she was then held for more than a month before being released — when it was clear the rwanda scheme would be scrapped. i've never been detained, actually imprisoned — that's the word. so this is the first time i was experiencing it and it was bad. so i felt very, very depressed. the new government has promised to crack down on the people smugglers like those launching this boat yesterday in france.

there'll be a new border security command, but it could take months to have an impact. so, with the rwanda plan abandoned, labour ministers will have to grasp the nettle and change the rules — including last year's illegal migration act — that are preventing new asylum claims being processed. daniel sandford, bbc news. straight to breaking news. we are hearing that the company carpet right is on the brink of collapse, putting around jobs at risk. administrators while it works to secure extra funding. at that news coming into us from our business unit that the company carpet right is on the brink of collapse. 1800 jobs at risk and woodhouse cooper has been lined up to work as administrators. we will have a look

at that in more detail as we get more information coming into us. let me take you live to germany. we thought it was going to start ten minutes ago. there are a few journalists playing darts, as they usually do. but we are expecting arlene 0llie watkins. due to the front and centre of today's news conference in the build—up to sunday's final, that 90 minute winner taking england to the finals and of course massive build—up in anticipation of that game with spain. he came off the bench to score that winner so late in the semifinal

against the netherlands. but that is the scene. just as soon as it starts, we will return there to germany. let us catch up while we wait with weather details. and that is with elizabeth. hello there. good afternoon. it's a very cloudy picture across much of the uk today. some of the cloud thick enough to produce a few spots of drizzle. some showers later. it's cooler than yesterday. but we do have some sunshine, and some of the best of that is across the central belt of scotland, down through western wales, and for south west england, too, west is best in terms of sunshine amounts, with high pressure edging in from the atlantic. low pressure spinning northwards and eastwards out into the north sea. so, here, quite a brisk northerly wind, the possibility of some more showers, and plenty of cloud. but there will be some breaks in the cloud here and there at times. but where we see them, watch out for some showers, thunderstorms, maybe, across the southwest of england, and temperatures with that northerly wind — disappointing for the time of year. but we could still possibly get to 20 c in glasgow. pollen levels — well,

they're moderate to high. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, again, we're going to keep those showers going towards eastern coasts of england in particular. a lot of cloud around tonight. a few clearer breaks, maybe, out towards the west, but generally a misty, damp start to the day tomorrow. temperatures staying in double figures. and then for tomorrow — well, it stays more or less the same. high pressure drifts a little bit further towards the north, so there will be some sunshine for the far north and west. low pressure starts to push further northwards and eastwards. so this means that we're going to see more of a north easterly wind and it will feel quite brisk, i think — again, towards these north sea facing coasts, with some showers at times. elsewhere, the winds are really very light. there will be a lot of cloud around, but some of the cloud will thin and break at times to give us some brighter, some sunny spells. but again, watch out for the possibility of some showers developing where we see the sunshine, and then the shower risk will melt away —

along with a lot of that cloud into the evening. but temperatures still again below the seasonal average. things do look a little brighter, a little warmer on sunday. low pressure still in the north sea. it's still quite cloudy towards the north with some showers, but across much of england, for any pre—football celebrations, it should be largely dry, and it will feel a bit warmer. a bit more in the way of sunshine, too. as we head through sunday night and into monday, low pressure again approaches from the west. monday — we'll see some showery outbreaks of rain. here's the outlook for our capital cities. but as you can see, it will feel a little warmer into the start of next week. bye— bye.

this is bbc news, the headlines. the man who plotted to kidnap, rape and murder tv presenter holly willoughby is sentenced to life in prison. he'll serve a minimum sentence of 16 years. the plan to murder ms willoughby was the end point of the plan developed over a considerable time to kidnap and falsely imprison herfor the principal purpose of raping and otherwise sexually abusing her. a man suspected of killing three women in a crossbow attack in hertfordshire has been arrested on suspicion of murder. president biden faces more calls from within his party to stand aside after gaffes overshadow the end of the nato summit in washington.

and we'll go live to an england press conference — 0llie watkins is expected to speak shortly. we will carry that just as it starts but the nato summit in washington has ended and ukraine was front and centre, as well as all those questions aboutjoe biden. ukraine has had one of its most difficult weeks since the start of the russian invasion two and a half years ago. more than a0 people were killed in a wave of missile attacks across the country, which also hit a children's hospital. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky has appealed to his western allies not to restrict the use of weapons they donate, which stops them being deployed against targets inside russia. 0ur ukraine correspondent james waterhouse reports. rocket.

on monday, in a matter of hours, missiles overwhelmed ukraine's normally well—defended capital. and it's what they hit which made this one of the worst aerial assaults in this war. this is kyiv�*s children's hospital, where some of the patients were being treated for cancer. it was a site which drew worldwide attention and western condemnation. russia denied targeting civilian areas, but evidence to the contrary is mounting. and this was an attack which wasn't confined to one place or one hospital. cities across central and eastern ukraine were targeted. 1a people lost their lives here, and it took three days to find them from under the rubble. 0nce lived lives exposed by blown—away walls. the country is paying a mounting human cost. five doctors in a kyiv clinic died

in one of the strikes this week. as nato leaders gathered in washington, president zelensky couldn't contain his emotion. it's so difficult and... to lose children. and of course, you know, you see these people, you see parents and when their children are dying or dead. so it's... you want to kill putin at this moment. in the absence of battlefield progress, highlighting russian atrocities is kyiv�*s most potent weapon. sizeable western offerings have followed, including financial aid, the delivery of f—16fighterjets and much—needed air defence systems. but ukraine got only a fraction of what it was after. in the centre of the capital, thousands of flags mark ukraine's fallen. it has long wanted nato membership

and, after years of promises, no—one has ever said when, because of russia's ongoing invasion. and that takes us to the heart of ukraine's unknowns. can it withstand more attacks on its infrastructure? are the current levels of military aid enough to carry it to victory, or will enduring defiance get it through? all questions brought to the fore by missile strikes which shocked the world. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. an independent investigation into nhs performance in england is beginning, after the health secretary wes streeting said he was "genuinely stunned" by the failings he's learned about since entering government. the latest figures show 7.6 million people in england are waiting for routine treatment. so what does the review need to consider? our health editor hugh pym has been looking into it. i get breathless, i get pains in my left arm and my legs don't want to support me any more. total fatigue beyond description.

i had so much more to enjoy and so much more to give. dot has waited 18 months for a heart procedure. i shall be exhausted by the end of the day. she says during that time she's gone from being an active 81—year—old to a life stuck at home most days. you know you wait for all these different investigations, getting the results, seeing the gp, being referred to the consultant and my symptoms have got worse. so presumably the blockage has got worse and yes, surely it would have been sooner rather than later would have been better. dot is one of millions affected by nhs delays. bringing down the waiting list will be a huge challenge. this is our new pet scanner — the first of its kind in the uk. here is one part of the possible solution — high—tech scanning equipment at the royal free hospital

in london, one of the biggest cancer treatment centres in the country. and we get these amazing detailed 3d images... the process is six times quicker than on an older machine, so more cancer patients can be seen and diagnosed. that has helped bring down the backlog. we've got amazing staff, who are really passionate and talented. if we can give them the tools, they know the answers, they want to treat patients. we don't think patients waiting a long time is acceptable and we've seen the difference things like this new pet scanner can make really quickly. the scanner was purchased, thanks to a donation by the royal free charity. the bigger issue for all hospitals is whether enough nhs funding for new equipment can be found. the new health secretary wes streeting has announced an independent investigation into the performance of the health service in england to be carried out by a leading health expert. lord darzi is an experienced surgeon, hugely respected and 30 years of experience in the nhs.

and who better to speak truth to power and truth to the country? i believe that sunlight is the best disinfectant. i've been genuinely stunned by some of what i've been told that isn't even yet in the public domain. i'm determined to put it in the public domain and tell the truth to our country, about how badly failed patients and staff working in the nhs have been. dot has at last been given a date for her heart procedure. she can only hope it doesn't get postponed and she can put behind her the painful memories of life on the waiting list. hugh pym, bbc news. "hugely emotional" is how rescuers have described the scene on a beach in 0rkney, after the biggest mass stranding of pilot whales for decades. nearly 80 of the animals, including many calves, died after washing ashore at tresness beach on the island of sanday, from where rob flett

sent us this report. sanday�*s beaches are renowned for their outstanding natural beauty. yesterday morning, islanders discovered a scene of devastation. 77 pilot whales beached along the shoreline, some of the largest up to seven metres long, weighing as much as eight tonnes. rescuers say it was a horrible sight. we had at least eight animals that were still alive. uh, so we've been very busyjust trying to sort out logistics of how we're going to deal with it, because we've obviously very remote. we don't have a lot of kit, we don't have a lot of manpower. so it's been incredibly difficult trying to sort that out. we've also been fighting an incoming tide, um, with animals that are incredibly heavy, so we've got no way of moving them. the family group included males and females, calves and juveniles. 12 of the animals were still alive. they were tended to by the rescue team while vets across the country were consulted on what to do next.

the soft sand thwarted any efforts to right the whales before they could be refloated. experts decided there was no chance they could be saved and the remaining whales were euthanised. now attention is turning to establishing why this happened. sadly, this is becoming more common. this is... it used to be quite unusual to have a mass stranding event, certainly of this size. but over the last ten years or so, we've seen an increase both in the number of mass stranding events around scotland and also the size of them, as in the number of animals that it involves. so that is slightly concerning. and that might be because there are just more animals out there. or it could be that there are more hazards that these animals are exposed to. these people came here to rescue these whales. sadly, now all that's left to do is record them. that process will take the next few days. then local farmers will come and take these corpses away

so they can be disposed of. rob flett, bbc news, 0rkney. there is a live pictures of the euros conference. perhaps we are a little closer. 0llie watkins due to their front and centre. little closer. 0llie watkins due to theirfront and centre. we little closer. 0llie watkins due to their front and centre. we will also talk to 0llie foster who is there in germany for us, gauging all the build—up to sunday's final. we will return to that news conference in a moment but there is no doubt that england reaching the finals has given football fans are left. sunday's game could also provide a welcome boost to the economy. while some businesses are closing early, or even giving staff a day—off on monday, the hospitality industry is gearing up for a bumper weekend, as peter ruddick reports. bunting? check. fully stocked bar? check.

final prep is well under way, and england's tournament success isn'tjust good news for the top of the football pyramid. well, our season is over now, so the tournament's been important. bringing infans, bringing in money behind the bar and this is money that we wouldn't normally be generating at this time of year. i think we'll have a full house on sunday and hopefully the weather's nice, so we can open up outside and we'll have a good few people here. predictions? an england win — 2—1. i think it'll be a tight game, but i think we'll do it. win or lose, sunday is big business for venues like this. in fact, £120 million is likely to be spent in england's pubs and bars. some firms, like tesco and sainsbury�*s, will be shutting up shop early on sunday to allow staff to watch the match. others, like gymshark, will be giving their employees the monday off to recover. and if you're hoping to avoid the football, well, make sure your gig or show hasn't been rescheduled. john bishop among performers moving their shows to the afternoon instead. whether football finally chooses to come home or opts for some

spanish summer sun instead, it could be a late one and on a school night too. it's going to be a nightmare, isn't it? i mean, sunday night. that was bad planning, wasn't it? it should have been at least a sunday afternoon kick off. you know. i think it should have been saturday night. but yeah, i think there'll be a few sickies on monday morning, don't you? ah, yes. the monday morning dilemma. the hr advice is clear and it isn't to pull a sickie. so get your annual leave request in now. there is still time for you to speak to your employer and for them to approve it. employers still can approve it and you can enjoy your evening. and if not, call in sick monday morning? not to be advised, you know, especially if you've already put in a request to have the day off and be declined. an employer can have reasonable belief that you have done that, um, without cause and discipline you. whatever happens on the pitch sunday night, off it businesses are hoping all the pints pulled and shirts sold will outweigh the impact of those rearranged gigs and annual leave requests.

peter ruddick, bbc news, greater manchester. let's go live to berlin. let's speak to 0llie foster who is gauging the mood. give me an idea of what it is like. how many fans have descended where you are? by, like. how many fans have descended where you are?— where you are? a few stragglers. talkin: where you are? a few stragglers. talking about _ where you are? a few stragglers. talking about bunking _ where you are? a few stragglers. talking about bunking off- where you are? a few stragglers. talking about bunking off work, l where you are? a few stragglers. | talking about bunking off work, it is always a giveaway when people don't want to be filled because you know they probably should be at work today. by hook or by crook they have been trying to get to berlin. then they will be trying to get tickets. we heard today that england, surprise surprise, have taken up their full official allocation. england and spain given 10,000. but then of course they went into ballot by uefa many months ago. i saw a group of england fans earlier from the midlands and theyjust took a punt back in november, eight months ago. they bought four tickets for

the final at £70 each. they were absolutely cock—a—hoop. they cannot wait. a slow build up here but we will expect it to get very busy tomorrow evening and sunday morning as tens of thousands descend on berlin for the euros final at the stadium. an 8pm kick the evening and we expect england fans to outnumber the spanish. a capacity of 70,000 that finalifire the spanish. a capacity of 70,000 that fina ., ., ,., ., ., the spanish. a capacity of 70,000 that fina ., ., ., ., ., that final we are about to have a ress that final we are about to have a press conference. _ that final we are about to have a press conference. ollie - that final we are about to have a press conference. ollie watkinsl that final we are about to have a i press conference. ollie watkins will press conference. 0llie watkins will be the main man and just so many headlines, a tsunami of headlines written about him in the last few hours. fairto written about him in the last few hours. fair to say, as well as all the excitement, there will be nerves there in the england camp as they build up to a huge game.- there in the england camp as they build up to a huge game. where did that performance _ build up to a huge game. where did that performance come _ build up to a huge game. where did

that performance come from? i build up to a huge game. where did that performance come from? that| that performance come from? that late winner from 0llie watkins who had only come off the bench, replacing harry kane, the england captain. that was a brave substitution for gareth southgate to make. but he had done in the previous match as well and it wasn't the first time that harry kane had been substituted. a superb finish. we are expecting to hear from watkins, from the team camp, about 150 miles to the south of us near erfurt. the reason why the news conferences actually delayed, it was due to happen half an hour ago. a massive signing session. the england players will come to berlin tomorrow, wave goodbye to all the locals in blankenheim. but they are signing hundreds and hundreds of signatures for the locals there. that is why the watkins news conferences delayed. we will hopefully bring that to you and hear from the england semifinal here.

that is a lovely touch. 0llie foster, thanks very much the latest there from berlin. let's turn to the breaking news. let's go to our correspondent will vernon who has the latest. just take us through what has been confirmed by the government in the last few moments. , , . by the government in the last few moments. i , . , moments. the justice secretary 'ust talkinu moments. the justice secretary 'ust talkin: in moments. the justice secretary 'ust talking in the — moments. the justice secretary 'ust talking in the last i moments. the justice secretary 'ust talking in the last few i moments. the justice secretary 'ust talking in the last few minutes, i talking in the last few minutes, making that announcement that we have been expecting all day. she said that britain's prisons on the point of collapse. really strong words from the minister. said that places free capacity in prisons

could run out in a matter of weeks. the justice secretary said that would lead to a serious breakdown of law and order. it could lead to looters running amok in the country. 0ver looters running amok in the country. over 10,000 looters running amok in the country. 0ver10,000 prisoners to be released under the scheme. these emergency measures that she announced will mean that offenders with fixed release dates could be let out when they have served just 40% of their sentence. the current term is 50% and violent criminals, and those who have been jailed on and violent criminals, and those who have beenjailed on sexual and violent criminals, and those who have been jailed on sexual offences, wouldn't be eligible for early release. some of the concerns expressed were, we have already heard from people who work inside the prison system. the presence of the prison system. the presence of the prison governors association said the criminaljustice system is on the brink of collapse and he said that if those urgent needs weren't addressed, needs to let offenders out early in order to free up capacity, then police could be

unable to make any arrests or take people to court. it is unable to make any arrests or take people to court-— people to court. it is thought that this will free _ people to court. it is thought that this will free up _ people to court. it is thought that this will free up over— people to court. it is thought that this will free up over 18 _ people to court. it is thought that this will free up over 18 months i this will free up over 18 months about four or 5000 prison places. in that window what is the government actually planning? are they planning to build more prisons or are they planning a review about who actually get sent to prison? that planning a review about who actually get sent to prison?— get sent to prison? that is the oint, get sent to prison? that is the point. isn't — get sent to prison? that is the point, isn't it. _ get sent to prison? that is the point, isn't it. this _ get sent to prison? that is the point, isn't it. this early i get sent to prison? that is the i point, isn't it. this early release scheme is aimed to address those critical, urgent needs to free up prison spaces in the short term. but there is a long—term problem here which is the amount of prison capacity in general. if we look at the statistics, and our colleagues at bbc verify have looked at this, and they have said that if you look at the next few years, even the amount of extra prison capacity that is planned under government plans, that still won't be enough to cope with the number of people who are

now behind bars. why is that? it is partly because of the backlog from the pandemic. that is causing a crisis in the short term, but also changes to sentencing laws mean there are more people being locked up there are more people being locked up for longer periods of time. and it's notjust people who are behind bars already. there are record numbers on remand, record numbers of people awaiting trial in record numbers of people awaiting crown court cases. so there really is an urgent problem across the scale. the other thing to bear in mind of course is the strain on the probation service. letting people out of prison early means that you need probation officers to supervise them, to monitor them. if there are not enough of those, and the probation service is already under a lot of strain, then that could lead to those prisoners going on to perhaps reoffend. idistill to those prisoners going on to perhaps reoffend. will vernon, thanks very _ perhaps reoffend. will vernon, thanks very much. _ perhaps reoffend. will vernon, thanks very much. plenty i perhaps reoffend. will vernon, j thanks very much. plenty more reaction now that reaction has been

when we locked the movie and i would no longer have that playground. i would no longer get to work on the movie. now it's going to be out in the world. and it more than — oh, my god, it lives up to the hype and then some. i think the movie's strength is that it's so unexpected. foryou, hugh, reprising the role of wolverine, what's that been like? i've had the greatest time in my life. i feel invigorated, i loved playing him. these guys wrote so beautifully and generously for me. at one point i have a monologue that has more words in it than i've said in an entire movie playing wolverine before. i can't not talk about the euros. you've been supporting it? yeah, we've been, we've been, we've been... how can you not? it's everywhere. imean, we...yeah. this place is going to go ballistic on sunday, because england's going to win 3—1. that was my next question — where are you going to be on sunday watching it? five seconds ago he said like, 9—a was the score. who would say that? you did, you said it a second ago. you said harry kane was going to score like, triple digits or something. i was like, this is nuts. he's scoring four goals,

but three will be disallowed. you didn't hear that bit. wow! yeah. and then let's just say, right, gareth southgate picks you on sunday to be in the team, just one of you, would it be deadpool or wolverine? oh, i think it's going to be wolverine given that hugh has dual citizenship. yes, exactly! i can technically do it. canada, being a commonwealth, doesn't quite get you there as much as that, i think. not since vinnie jones has there been a real enforcer. i think we need an enforcer in football. somebody who's just out there clobbering, right? with a red card within the first minute. yeah, hockey does it. why can't we do it in football? i need someone to protect paul mullin and wrexham. please! get get me a big, just a vin — come on, vinnie. that's it, come on. well, brilliant. thank you. enjoy your fan event. and the film is in cinemas on the 26th ofjuly. michael mckenzie, bbc news. great stuff and keeping an eye on that press conference. they are playing darts again so i suspect

it's not that close. apparently a big signing session with all the fans going on at the moment and that is why it is slightly delayed. i suspect we will get it in the next hour but let's first check on the weather details with elizabeth. hello there. good afternoon. it's a very cloudy picture across much of the uk today. some of the cloud thick enough to produce a few spots of drizzle. some showers later. it's cooler than yesterday, but we do have some sunshine. and some of the best of that is across the central belt of scotland, down through western wales, and for south west england, too, west is best in terms of sunshine amounts, with high pressure edging in from the atlantic. low pressure spinning northwards and eastwards out into the north sea. so here quite a brisk northerly wind, the possibility of some more showers, and plenty of cloud. but there will be some breaks in the cloud here and there at times. but where we see them, watch out for some showers, thunderstorms, maybe, across the southwest of england, and temperatures with that northerly wind — disappointing for the time of year, but we could still possibly get to 20 c in glasgow.

pollen levels — well, they're moderate to high. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, again, we're going to keep those showers going towards eastern coasts of england in particular. a lot of cloud around tonight. a few clearer breaks, maybe, out towards the west, but generally a misty, damp start to the day tomorrow. temperatures staying in double figures. and then for tomorrow, well, it stays more or less the same. high pressure drifts a little bit further towards the north, so there will be some sunshine for the far north and west. low pressure starts to push further northwards and eastwards. so this means that we're going to see more of a north easterly wind and it will feel quite brisk, i think again, towards these north sea facing coasts, with some showers at times. elsewhere the winds are really very light. there will be a lot of cloud around, but some of the cloud will thin and break at times to give us some brighter, some sunny spells. but again, watch out for the possibility of some showers developing where we see the sunshine, and then the shower risk will melt away, along with a lot of that cloud into the evening. but temperatures still again below the seasonal average. things do look a little brighter, a little warmer on sunday. low pressure still in the north sea.

it's still quite cloudy towards the north with some showers, but across much of england, for any pre—football celebrations, it should be largely dry, and it will feel a bit warmer. a bit more in the way of sunshine, too. as we head through sunday night and into monday, low pressure again approaches from the west. monday we'll see some showery outbreaks of rain. here's the outlook for our capital cities. but as you can see, it will feel a little warmer into the start of next week. bye— bye.

was". let's speak to news correspondent will vernon, who has the very latest on this. take us through it. matthew, very stron: take us through it. matthew, very strong words _ take us through it. matthew, very strong words indeed _ take us through it. matthew, very strong words indeed from - take us through it. matthew, very strong words indeed from the i take us through it. matthew, very. strong words indeed from the justice strong words indeed from thejustice secretary, shabana mahmood. she said that britain pass prisons are on the point of collapse. she said that sales could run out within weeks, available sales, for inmates. she said that would lead to a total breakdown in law and order with looters running amok in the country. so a frightening picture she is painting there. she will announce these emergency measures which will lead to perhaps over 10,000 inmates being released early, and the offenders in question here are those that have a fixed release date. and they could be let out when they have

only served around a0% of their sentence. at the moment, the figure is 50%. criminals who fall into that category where they have already served 50% of their sentence, they are eligible for early release. violent criminals and there is jailed for sexual offences will not be eligible under this scheme. but there are fears that this could lead to an increase in crime. sara lena was murdered two years ago by a man who was released from prison just nine days to go on licence. her aunt, she spoke to the bbc a little earlier. she was asked what she thought about this proposed scheme, and she said it was a dangerous gamble. so there are concerns across the board is that this could release to a increase in crime. the the board is that this could release to a increase in crime.— to a increase in crime. the prime minister said _ to a increase in crime. the prime minister said only _ to a increase in crime. the prime minister said only yesterday i to a increase in crime. the prime minister said only yesterday in i minister said only yesterday in various comments in washington, "i cannot build a prison inside my

first week." but what is the plan longer term? first week. " but what is the plan longer term?— longer term? yes, of course the prime minister _ longer term? yes, of course the prime minister speaking - longer term? yes, of course the prime minister speaking in i prime minister speaking in washington, describing the condition of britain pass prisons as shocking and saying that he was not even aware of the true scale of the problem. i think this is the first major crisis for this new labour government. i imagine they are not too delighted at all that one of their first important announcements in office is that they are going to be letting thousands of criminals, thousands of prisoners out ofjail is early. the optics of that are not good, are they? it doesn't sound very good. but you are right, in terms of the longer term problem, our colleagues at bbc verify have been looking at the figures on the number of people behind bars and government plans for building new prison capacity, and even with the current projections of how much prison capacity there will be going

forward in the next few years, that still won't be anywhere near enough to cope with the increased numbers of inmates. and why are there more people being locked up? well, it is partly because of the backlog caused by the pandemic, but also there have been changes in sentencing laws, and they mean that more people are being locked up for longer sentences. actually, 25% longer sentences now compared to 2012. quite a big increase, and that is creating a real strain on the prison system. and it's notjust the prison system struggling, there are record numbers of people in remand, record numbers of people in remand, record numbers of people in remand, record numbers of people awaiting trial and record highs of people awaiting crown court cases. there is also the strain on the probation service. because if you are going to let thousands of people out of prison early, you need to probation officers who will supervise them, monitor them. to probation officers who will supervise them, monitorthem. if to probation officers who will supervise them, monitor them. if you do not have the probation officers,

and many analysts say there are not the numbers there, even before this early release scheme will come into effect, they are overburdened as it is. so of course they risk there is that if there are not enough probation officers then some of those inmates who are being released early could then go on to reoffend. a final thought. this should not come as a great surprise. alex chalk was saying to the bbc earlier that the conservatives had considered this, but it was overruled by rishi sunak. :, �* , ., sunak. that's right, and the conservatives _ sunak. that's right, and the conservatives have - sunak. that's right, and the i conservatives have commented on sunak. that's right, and the _ conservatives have commented on this new announcement by the justice secretary, saying that it was a shameless scaremongering. conservatives now in opposition, saying that this isn't a very good idea at all. saying that this isn't a very good idea at all-— idea at all. thank you for the latest there, _ idea at all. thank you for the latest there, that _ idea at all. thank you for the i latest there, that announcement being made in the last half an hour or so. we will have plenty more

reaction to that prison story here on the programme is a little later. the man convicted of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder holly willoughby has been sentenced to life in prison. gavin plumb told an undercover police officer online about his plans to attack the tv presenter and had assembled a kit of equipment to make his plans a reality. the court heard the extent of the shock and fear felt by holly willoughby had been life—changing. earlier, i spoke to our corresepondent lizo mzimba, who was outside court for us, and gave us the very latest on the judge's sentencing remarks. mrjustice murray gave his remarks here at chelmsford crown court earlier. as you say, he said he was satisfied that the offences had been life—changing for holly willoughby, both privately and professionally. he also detailed the factors that he was taking into account when reaching his sentencing — aggravation, the fact that gavin plumb had prior convictions for sexually motivated crimes

against women, the detailed planning he'd carried out, the way he'd purchased items including the restraint kit, his research into holly willoughby�*s personal life and the fact he had tried to assemble more than one person to help him in his endeavours to kidnap, to rape and to murder holly willoughby. in mitigation, he took into account that the plot was unlikely to succeed because of many factors, including gavin plumb's gross obesity at the time — he weighed somewhere between 25—30 stone. but he gave those details earlier here at chelmsford crown court, and then he actually spoke about the exact sentence he was going to pass on gavin plumb. it is clear from the evidence, including your prior convictions, that you pose a significant risk to women generally. of serious harm, occasioned by the commission of sexually motivated acts of threatened and actual violence.

i find, in other words, that you are dangerous. having regard to the seriousness of each of your offences individually and together, as well as everything else i know about you — including the facts of your prior convictions for similarly sexually motivated violent offending against women — i conclude that i must impose on you a sentence of imprisonment for life. now he will serve a minimum sentence of 16 years — taken off that is the time he's already spent on remand since his arrest last october, which is about 280 days. which means the minimum he will serve from today is 15 years and 85 days. now, the judge went on to emphasise that he would not be automatically released after this time — that is simply the earliest time the parole board can consider him for release by assessing whether he still poses a danger to the public. the court heard how he was given a

suspended sentence in 2006. one of those victims has for the first time been speaking about that ordeal. 0ur correspondence has more. before gavin plumb plotted the kidnap, rape and murder of holly willoughby, he targeted four other women and teenage girls. maria is one of them. plumb attempted to kidnap herfrom a train. i remember the train being empty. there was another girl. she got onto the same carriage as i did. she sat somewhere in the middle. i went to the back. when i noticed that somebody came and sat right in front of me and i thought, "well, the carriage is empty." she's never spoken before about what happened to her but agreed to speak to me on the condition her voice was disguised. he passed me a note. i mean, i thought it'sjust some piece of paper. i didn't even look what he was doing — i ignored it.

then he pushed it forward for me to read. and when i read it, it was something... something along the lines of, "get off the train with me. be quiet. um... don't do anything. get off the train with me and nothing will happen to anybody." he had a rope and replica gun on him. and as i read that note, it was only then i looked at the person. so, my first impression was that he is huge. i have no chance. so there was this moment when i was just frozen and scared. but it was also disbelief. i thought, maybe he'sjoking? i mean, it's absurd. but he started pointing and showing me to stay quiet and he started approaching me with his hands. he held his hand on my knee and was indicating that we're going to go. in the note, it said, "get off with me at the next station." and after the initial freeze and disbelief, i realised what was going on.

obviously i scored in the semifinal, so it was a day early. but obviously that could happen on the weekend. so little things have happened prior to that game. a lot of people have told me things and spoken it into existence. yes, ijust feel like whatever you put into the universe you get back. and i'm a firm believer that you can believe something, but if you deep down really truly believe that it could happen, i think it will. fin really truly believe that it could happen, i think it will.- happen, i think it will. on talk sort happen, i think it will. on talk sport earlier _ happen, i think it will. on talk sport earlier today, _ happen, i think it will. on talk sport earlier today, he - happen, i think it will. on talk sport earlier today, he said i happen, i think it will. on talkj sport earlier today, he said he refereed — sport earlier today, he said he refereed you _ sport earlier today, he said he refereed you when _ sport earlier today, he said he refereed you when you - sport earlier today, he said he refereed you when you are - sport earlier today, he said he refereed you when you are on| sport earlier today, he said he - refereed you when you are on loan to weston—super—mare. _ refereed you when you are on loan to weston—super—mare. it _ refereed you when you are on loan to weston—super—mare. it was - refereed you when you are on loan to weston—super—mare. it was a - refereed you when you are on loan to weston—super—mare. it was a really. weston—super—mare. it was a really lovely _ weston—super—mare. it was a really lovely anecdote _ weston—super—mare. it was a really lovely anecdote. are _ weston—super—mare. it was a really lovely anecdote. are you _ weston—super—mare. it was a really lovely anecdote. are you aware - weston—super—mare. it was a really lovely anecdote. are you aware of. lovely anecdote. are you aware of how inspiring _ lovely anecdote. are you aware of how inspiring your _ lovely anecdote. are you aware of how inspiring yourjourney - lovely anecdote. are you aware of how inspiring yourjourney has - lovely anecdote. are you aware of. how inspiring yourjourney has been? no, i'm _ how inspiring yourjourney has been? no, i'm not. — how inspiring yourjourney has been? no, i'm not, really. _ how inspiring yourjourney has been? no, i'm not, really. i— how inspiring yourjourney has been? no, i'm not, really. itake_ how inspiring yourjourney has been? no, i'm not, really. itake things- no, i'm not, really. itake things day by day. i don't take things too far ahead. day by day. i don't take things too farahead. i don't day by day. i don't take things too far ahead. i don't really look too far ahead. i don't really look too far back, either. i know it is been an amazing journey and obviously i have put in a lot of hard work to get to this point. but anything is

possible with hard work and i wouldn't say i am technically the best here are the best player, but my workrate and dedication is up there with everyone here in the squad. so i feel like with hard work and dedication, if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything. to the kids that are out there, the dream is not over. just keep working, keep working hard and you can get to where i am today, for sure. ., ., ., ., ., ., sure. you are one game away from liftin: the sure. you are one game away from lifting the european _ sure. you are one game away from lifting the european championship| lifting the european championship trophy. _ lifting the european championship trophy. which _ lifting the european championship trophy. which is _ lifting the european championship trophy, which is incredible. - lifting the european championship trophy, which is incredible. we i lifting the european championship . trophy, which is incredible. we have been _ trophy, which is incredible. we have been asking — trophy, which is incredible. we have been asking players _ trophy, which is incredible. we have been asking players what _ trophy, which is incredible. we have been asking players what they- trophy, which is incredible. we have been asking players what they will. been asking players what they will do if they— been asking players what they will do if they win _ been asking players what they will do if they win the _ been asking players what they will do if they win the euros. - been asking players what they will do if they win the euros. phil- been asking players what they will. do if they win the euros. phil foden says he _ do if they win the euros. phil foden says he wants — do if they win the euros. phil foden says he wants the _ do if they win the euros. phil foden says he wants the whole _ do if they win the euros. phil foden says he wants the whole team - do if they win the euros. phil foden says he wants the whole team to i says he wants the whole team to spray— says he wants the whole team to spray paint — says he wants the whole team to spray paint there _ says he wants the whole team to spray paint there head. - says he wants the whole team to spray paint there head. kyle - says he wants the whole team to i spray paint there head. kyle walker says he _ spray paint there head. kyle walker says he wants — spray paint there head. kyle walker says he wants you _ spray paint there head. kyle walker says he wants you all— spray paint there head. kyle walker says he wants you all to _ spray paint there head. kyle walker says he wants you all to get - spray paint there head. kyle walker says he wants you all to get the - says he wants you all to get the same _ says he wants you all to get the same tack— says he wants you all to get the same tack to— says he wants you all to get the same tack to buy _ says he wants you all to get the same tack to buy the _ says he wants you all to get the same tack to buy the same - says he wants you all to get the l same tack to buy the same tattoo artist _ same tack to buy the same tattoo artist what— same tack to buy the same tattoo artist. what would _ same tack to buy the same tattoo artist. what would you _ same tack to buy the same tattoo artist. what would you do? - same tack to buy the same tattoo artist. what would you do? i- same tack to buy the same tattoo artist. what would you do? i haven't aot artist. what would you do? i haven't

slovakia, needed a late goal, the bellingham overhead kick, then it went to extra time, then those penalties we had in the quarterfinals against the swiss, but then a much better performance. a late winner again. they have gone behind in each match. but a brilliant insight. and just talking about the grind of tournament football as well, something that gareth southgate has talked about in his post—match interviews over the last week or so. how little time they have to prepare. by the time they have to prepare. by the time they get back to their base, a day of recovery, perhaps a light training session. you don't want to be picking up any injuries in training. and then they are off again. they are off again tomorrow. they will make the short hop of 150 miles to berlin tomorrow afternoon for a sunday pass final. but it was a great lesson, wasn't it, ollie watkins? thanks so much. we will talk again

caused shock and deep concern to our communities. over the past 36 hour significant progress has been made in the investigation. up until now this has been led by officers and staff from crime investigation team. as a direct result of these inquiries, and due to information gathered so far, primacy has been handed over to the metropolitan police. it is believed the man wanted in connection with this incident has been travelled to the bristol area early on wednesday, before taking a taxi to clifton suspension bridge, where the suitcases were unloaded. there is also a crime scene in place at shepherd's bush. our detectives are working closely with the inquiry team from the met police and we will continue to assist them in any way we can. we are able to confirm forensic postmortem examinations are still being carried out on the remains found within the two suitcases. they are believed to be that of two adult men. it is

important to stress they have not been formally identified at this time and efforts to locate and speak to their next of kin are being prioritised. the search for the man released photos of yesterday is now being led by the metropolitan police. there is no information to suggest he remains in the avon and somerset area. he is described however, just to reiterate, is black, with a beard. he was wearing a black adidas baseball cap with a white motif on the front, black jeans and a blackjacket with a motif on the chest, and black trainers with white thick soles. he was also believed to have been wearing a gold earring and carrying a black backpack. we urge anyone who does see him not to approach him and to call 999 immediately. we are incredibly grateful to the public that the way they have responded to our appeals for information. policing relies on the support of the public and we would like to

thank everyone who contacted us to supply information or help in anyway. we have had more than 160 messages through the major incident room phone number and our online portal. we would also like to thank the residents for their patients with disruption caused by the clifton suspension bridge was closed. the bridge reopened earlier today following the completion of our inquiries and ravouvou of the cording. despite the investigation being transferred to the metropolitan police our neighbourhood teams will continue to carry out engagement patrol in the area over the next coming days and we have the mobile police station located behind me which will have officers and staff there. we stress to residents, if there are still any concerns, please contact one of the team. any information, excluding sightings, which i reiterate is 999, but for any other information, details can continue to be submitted on the major incident public portal which can be found online, or indeed

and somerset police say they have no information to suggest he is still information to suggest he is still in the area. what we don't know is where that person is and therefore thatis where that person is and therefore that is the main priority of the ongoing investigation, which is tracking down this person. the other key bit of information you have heard there is what what was inside the two suitcases. they have confirmed they are human remains and they understand they are the remains of two male adults. no information given about their identity. they haven't formally been identified will up this interest in the police said they are trying to contact and locate the relatives of those two people, suggesting perhaps they have been able to push forward with that side of the investigation. tell been able to push forward with that side of the investigation.— side of the investigation. tell me more about _ side of the investigation. tell me more about the _ side of the investigation. tell me more about the various - side of the investigation. tell me more about the various forensicl more about the various forensic works that have been going on close to where you are. we works that have been going on close to where you are.— to where you are. we know that it was detailed _ to where you are. we know that it was detailed and _ to where you are. we know that it was detailed and complicated. - to where you are. we know that it was detailed and complicated. it i was detailed and complicated. it would have focused on the contents of those two bags and the horrible things contained and discovered by police officers. we know that was

very traumatic for them. at the forensic teams will have worked through that. i understand from speaking to local people that there were forensic searchers going on late into last night on the surrounding streets and pavements. we think may be just in case anything was left behind by this person. we know they had two cases but was there anything else? aside from that window they spoke at length to the taxi driver. what with able to glean from them? probably where he was picked up in bristol but anything he may have said. how did he pay? is there anything they can do to trace back, use of any bank accounts. it is a developing case and as we have heard it is one that has focused on london. there is a crime scene there inched the shepherd's bush area, suggesting thatis shepherd's bush area, suggesting that is where the journey began on wednesday. just that is where the 'ourney began on wednesday.— wednesday. just a final thought, because the _ wednesday. just a final thought, because the photofit _ wednesday. just a final thought, because the photofit they - wednesday. just a final thought, because the photofit they put. wednesday. just a final thought, | because the photofit they put out wednesday. just a final thought, - because the photofit they put out on the picture is pretty clear. but what is the advice, what are they saying to the public for any

as vice president from. let speak live to the democrat campaigner who has been a big supporter ofjoe biden. thank you much forjoining us on the programme. what is your assessment because mike is the dam holding or bursting after last night which yellow i am a pragmatist and i tend to take the world as i find it each morning. mr; tend to take the world as i find it each morning-— tend to take the world as i find it each morning. my concern at this oint is each morning. my concern at this point is they _ each morning. my concern at this point is they have _ each morning. my concern at this point is they have not _ each morning. my concern at this point is they have not been - each morning. my concern at this point is they have not been able l each morning. my concern at this. point is they have not been able to stem the tide in the two weeks since the debate. joe biden has always been a gaffe machine but now every gaffe he makes is going to be viewed in terms of his age. that's why i regretfully have decided that, in my case, i will be asking that he step down in favour of vice president harris. she can inherit his campaign, she can inherit his campaign, she can inherit his campaignfunding. most campaign, she can inherit his campaign funding. most importantly she can inherit his place on the balance in all 50 states. if we were

to turn this into conventional floor fight where it is basically an open ballot, should we nominate someone who is not the vice president, currently not on the ticket, we are going to have a big challenge from the republicans in the courts, and given what the supreme court has done recently i would have great concerns with court fights in the supreme court coming down on the side of keeping another candidate of ballots in several states. and side of keeping another candidate of ballots in several states.— ballots in several states. and of course not _ ballots in several states. and of course notjust _ ballots in several states. and of course not just that _ ballots in several states. and of course not just that threat. - ballots in several states. and of course not just that threat. you | course notjust that threat. you would have potentially very messy open fight amongst various democrats who might want to throw their hats into the ring. joe biden really clear though that he insists he is going to remain in this. but a huge amount now depends on the numbers of democrats that go public. if that accelerates, that brings it probably to an end, doesn't it? i accelerates, that brings it probably to an end, doesn't it?— to an end, doesn't it? i think it does. to an end, doesn't it? i think it does- you _ to an end, doesn't it? i think it does. you saw— to an end, doesn't it? i think it does. you saw the _ to an end, doesn't it? i think it does. you saw the george - to an end, doesn't it? i think it - does. you saw the george clooney piece in the new york times the

other day. and of the washington post which published a story that the biden campaign is pulling on the vice president at the moment. they are doing that to prove she is viable and some to prove that she is not. the fact is we have to get the discussion back and away from biden's capabilities. he hasn't done anything unfortunately to assuage those fears and in fact those fears seem to be growing. the key for me is who will the vice president pick as her vice presidential candidate and i think she needs to make a nonpolitical pick. my personal choice, and i have not heard this from anybody else, will be the former chairman of the joint chiefs who worked with donald trump and has intimate knowledge of him and could speak to that. i intimate knowledge of him and could speak to that-— speak to that. i am sorry to interrupt — speak to that. i am sorry to interrupt but _ speak to that. i am sorry to interrupt but i _ speak to that. i am sorry to interrupt but i am - speak to that. i am sorry to interrupt but i am going - speak to that. i am sorry to interrupt but i am going to, speak to that. i am sorry to -

interrupt but i am going to, only because we are getting two or three stages ahead. what happens ifjoe biden simply insists on this position. you have seen the way the white house, the campaign team, has rallied behind that position. what if that is the position over the next few days, weeks. how difficult does it become that the party to try to unseat him? i’m does it become that the party to try to unseat him?— does it become that the party to try to unseat him? i'm not sure he would no to to unseat him? i'm not sure he would go to those — to unseat him? i'm not sure he would go to those lengths, _ to unseat him? i'm not sure he would go to those lengths, if _ to unseat him? i'm not sure he would go to those lengths, if in _ to unseat him? i'm not sure he would go to those lengths, if in fact - go to those lengths, if in fact party leadership, talking about the minority leader in the house, and there have been discussions between nancy pelosi and barack obama, should those kinds of folks do what others did when nixon was in trouble, go up to the white house and say, joe, it is time, i think he would do that. the one thing i know aboutjoe biden is his love of the united states is far greater than

his love for power at the oval office. i think he would step aside once he realises there is no way back. it once he realises there is no way back. . . once he realises there is no way back. , , , ., ., back. it is interesting you mention hakeem jeffries _ back. it is interesting you mention hakeem jeffries because - back. it is interesting you mention hakeem jeffries because i - back. it is interesting you mention hakeem jeffries because i am - back. it is interesting you mention . hakeem jeffries because i am reading as you are speaking that he met with joe biden behind—the—scenes yesterday evening to go through a lot of all that. you can clearly get a sense of how fluid the situation is behind—the—scenes. suppose for every democrat and every potential voter one of the issues they are considering is in a sense this only potentially gets worse in terms of concerns about biden's age. every day the situation potentially gets worse, not better. i day the situation potentially gets worse, not better.— day the situation potentially gets worse, not better. i don't think it lets an worse, not better. i don't think it gets any worse — worse, not better. i don't think it gets any worse but _ worse, not better. i don't think it gets any worse but it _ worse, not better. i don't think it gets any worse but it just - worse, not better. i don't think it gets any worse but it just won't l worse, not better. i don't think it| gets any worse but itjust won't go away. the press right now is a dog with a bone and unfortunately when you see the president in public it

is apparent that he has lost a few steps. i turn 78 years old in two weeks' time and i know what it is like to get older. at this point i just don't think he is doing himself any favours because we need to get the discussion away from biden's age and capabilities and back on donald trump's lazy plans for destroying the democracy of the united states. final thoughts. the democracy of the united states. finalthoughts. how the democracy of the united states. final thoughts. how quickly do you think this will move? i was listening to one analyst who thought yesterday that the next three or four days would be consequential days there in the us. is that an assessment you share? i days there in the us. is that an assessment you share?- days there in the us. is that an assessment you share? i think it is. at the moment _ assessment you share? i think it is. at the moment a _ assessment you share? i think it is. at the moment a lot _ assessment you share? i think it is. at the moment a lot of— assessment you share? i think it is. at the moment a lot of people - assessment you share? i think it is. at the moment a lot of people are l at the moment a lot of people are keeping their powder dry because of the nato summit going on in washington and they don't want to distract from that. from the conversations i have been having

who are stuck in legal limbo, waiting to see whether the new government will change the policy and allow their claims to be dealt with. reporting to the police in luton as he has to every fortnight, suhaibjaber is an asylum seeker from syria, whose application has made no progress for 20 months. along with more than 100,000 others, he's stuck in legal limbo with no way out. and this week, hundreds more people arrived illegally across the english channel on small boats. under a law passed by the conservative government last year, none of them can be granted asylum. so the list of people in limbo just grows. it's the only thing that i want — just to treat us like human beings, not numbers. i'm nota number. suhaib arrived illegally by boat in 2022, but having been tortured by the assad regime and the islamic state group, he has a good chance of getting asylum in the uk if his case is looked at.

instead, he was warned he might be sent to rwanda and, with his family still in turkey, he hopes the new government will unblock cases like his so he can see his kids again. my children grew up without me. some of them even doesn't know me. sometimes my youngest daughter, she looks at me and she's like trying to discover me. so who's that? and because cases like his are not being processed, the accommodation bill isjust growing. it's costing taxpayers millions of pounds a day. this week, this entire holiday inn, south of luton, was still given over to asylum seekers. the conservative government has essentially taken away the right for a refugee to come here and ask to be given safety, to be given asylum. and that needs to be fixed. it needs to be fixed very quickly by dealing with people's cases in a timely and efficient fashion.

yani told me she's fleeing persecution in east africa and asked us not to use her real name. she'd been in asylum limbo for a year when, in may, she was suddenly detained and told she was being sent to rwanda. a victim of trafficking, she was then held for more than a month before being released, when it was clear the rwanda scheme would be scrapped. i've never been detained, actually imprisoned, that's the word. so this is the first time i was experiencing it and it was bad. so i felt very, very depressed. the new government has promised to crack down on the people smugglers like those launching this boat yesterday in france. there'll be a new border security command, but it could take months to have an impact. so with the rwanda plan abandoned, labour ministers will have to grasp the nettle and change the rules, including last year's illegal migration act, that are preventing new asylum claims being processed. daniel sandford, bbc news.

apple launched its mixed reality headset. the regent street store welcomed some of the very first customers for this new headset with a bit of a fanfare. we will talk about that more and a second but with me in the studio is the bbc�*s technology editor zoe kleinman. zoe has brought in one of these new devices. i gather you have tried it out. take me through it. i’m devices. i gather you have tried it out. take me through it.— out. take me through it. i'm not auoin to out. take me through it. i'm not going to put _ out. take me through it. i'm not going to put it— out. take me through it. i'm not going to put it on _ out. take me through it. i'm not going to put it on the _ out. take me through it. i'm not going to put it on the right - out. take me through it. i'm not going to put it on the right now. | out. take me through it. i'm not. going to put it on the right now. it is £3500 worth of kit. it is definitely not one for a tight budget. what is new about it? it is apple. it has that apple design. it has a battery separate to the headset so it is less heavy than traditional headsets have been. apple wants you to use this as often as you use your phone. it is very much being sold are something you

look at photos with, watch movies with, and all the while, if you want to, you can see your surroundings as well. you're not going to be walking into walls while you are doing it. so they expect you to sit there and live as normal but having that on. that is incredible. it is their first venture into augmented reality. first venture into augmented reali . . . . first venture into augmented reali . , , , , reality. this is the first new bit of hardware — reality. this is the first new bit of hardware that _ reality. this is the first new bit of hardware that apple - reality. this is the first new bit of hardware that apple has - reality. this is the first new bit i of hardware that apple has done reality. this is the first new bit - of hardware that apple has done in years and it is their first headset. when it came out, a lot of people, including me, thought why are they doing this? why are they doing it now? but when you start using it, if you use an iphone, when you put it on it looks like your iphone screen. the apps on the same. it is gesture controlled. there is eye tracking so whatever you are looking at will open up. it is a very different experience. i think the way the industry is going, could this, or something a bit less like a pair of ski goggles but like this, one day replace your phone? why should be looking down at a tiny screen when you could be looking around your world and have your favourite digital content with you? that is the plan. t0

the daughter of a business tycoon. bollywood superstars have arrived for the wedding. the personal fortune is estimated at a staggering £90 million. the wedding is thought to have already cost more than £100 million. our reporter is in mumbai and told us what we can expect from this big day. glitz, glamour and a star—studded event. the wedding celebrations see the who's who of global businesses, films, sport and politics, all make their way to mumbai. former uk prime minister is borisjohnson and tony blair, and some big names who have already reached the city. scores of private jets are landing in mumbai which is seeing what its rainiest days this season. and the central business district, where the wedding celebrations are taking place, has radically closed for general traffic. it is deemed as a public event and officers tend to walk from

home. they will tie the knot with hindu rituals followed by two days of reception. it is a combination of pre—wedding celebrations was begun as early as december but the big was in march with an event held in the home town of the location of their major oil refining complex. it hosted 1200 test including mark took a bill gates, if anka trump. katy perry, rhianna, backstreet street werejust perry, rhianna, backstreet street were just some of them who performed at the pre—wedding celebrations and if current celebrations are expected to amp up the glitz they are known for their lavish weddings but this is turning out to be the most glamorous and expensive to date. some critics have called it the most ostentatious, with the public display of wealth and opulence in a country known for its rising wealth inequality. but despite the criticism the wedding has been one of the most watched and followed

events on social media. running the country's most valuable business conglomerate it is a show of their clout. if we go to the weather i just want to show you pictures of princess and. she has begun her first engagement since suffering that concussion in a horse —related accident. she has been visiting the national championships that are currently going on in gloucestershire. this is the first public appearance, you remember the hospital stay for the princess royal. these are the pictures from the last little while. she is there at the university, at this college for the disabled association national championships. those pictures just national championships. those picturesjust coming national championships. those pictures just coming into us national championships. those picturesjust coming into us in national championships. those pictures just coming into us in the last little while. let's turn to the weather. here is elizabeth. hello there. good afternoon. it's a very cloudy picture

across much of the uk today. some of the cloud thick enough to produce a few spots of drizzle. some showers later. it's cooler than yesterday, but we do have some sunshine. and some of the best of that is across the central belt of scotland, down through western wales, and for south west england, too, west is best in terms of sunshine amounts, with high pressure edging in from the atlantic. low pressure spinning northwards and eastwards out into the north sea. so here quite a brisk northerly wind, the possibility of some more showers, and plenty of cloud. but there will be some breaks in the cloud here and there at times. but where we see them, watch out for some showers, thunderstorms, maybe, across the southwest of england, and temperatures with that northerly wind — disappointing for the time of year, but we could still possibly get to 20 c in glasgow. pollen levels — well, they're moderate to high. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, again, we're going to keep those showers going towards eastern coasts of england in particular. a lot of cloud around tonight. a few clearer breaks, maybe, out towards the west, but generally a misty, damp start to the day tomorrow. temperatures staying in double figures. and then for tomorrow, well, it stays more or less the same.

high pressure drifts a little bit further towards the north, so there will be some sunshine for the far north and west. low pressure starts to push further northwards and eastwards. so this means that we're going to see more of a north easterly wind and it will feel quite brisk, i think again, towards these north sea facing coasts, with some showers at times. elsewhere the winds are really very light. there will be a lot of cloud around, but some of the cloud will thin and break at times to give us some brighter, some sunny spells. but again, watch out for the possibility of some showers developing where we see the sunshine, and then the shower risk will melt away, along with a lot of that cloud into the evening. but temperatures still again below the seasonal average. things do look a little brighter, a little warmer on sunday. low pressure still in the north sea. it's still quite cloudy towards the north with some showers, but across much of england, for any pre—football celebrations, it should be largely dry, and it will feel a bit warmer. a bit more in the way of sunshine, too. as we head through sunday

night and into monday, low pressure again approaches from the west. monday we'll see some showery outbreaks of rain. here's the outlook for our capital cities. but as you can see, it will feel a little warmer into the start of next week. bye— bye.

by acting suspiciously on the bridge. by the time they arrived, the man had disappeared leaving one case on the bridge. the second was found nearby a short time later. they believe the suspect to travel to bristol from london earlier that same day. bristol from london earlier that same day-— same day. primacy of this investigation _ same day. primacy of this investigation has - same day. primacy of this investigation has now- same day. primacy of this | investigation has now been same day. primacy of this - investigation has now been handed over to the metropolitan police. it is believed the man wanted in connection with this incident had travelled to the clifton area of bristol from london early on wednesday before taking a taxi to clifton suspension bridge where the suitcases were unloaded. there was also a crime scene in place. our detectives are working closely with the inquiry team at the met police and will continue to assist them in any way we can. we are able to

concern forensic postmortem examinations are still being carried out on the remains found within the two suitcases. they are believed to be that of two adult men. it is important to stress that they have not been formally identified at this time and efforts to locate and speak to their next of kin are being prioritised. the search for the man we released photos of yesterday is now being led by the metropolitan police. there is no information to suggest he remains in the avon and somerset police area. he is described as black with a beard. he was wearing a black adidas baseball cap with a white motif on the front. black jeans, cap with a white motif on the front. blackjeans, a blackjacket with a motif on the chest. he was also relieved to be wearing a gold earring and carrying a black backpack. we urge anyone who doesn't see him not to approach him and to call 999 immediately.

a significant development with that confirmation that it is human reins belonging to two human adult men? the investigation moving forward significantly and widening its scope from here in bristol to the shepherd's bush area in london. two key things we heard that statement, first of all something of a timeline, that this man is believed to have started hisjourney timeline, that this man is believed to have started his journey in london on wednesday, travelling to bristol, the clifton area, then getting a taxi to the suspension bridge, the best known landmark in bristol. that is when the two cases were found. that was the last place that he was seen. images of him being circulated. we heard from the acting commander that they had no information to suggest he was still information to suggest he was still in the area. as you mentioned, the other key thing is what they found inside those two cases, confirming

that the human remains were of two aduu that the human remains were of two adult males. while no formal identification has taken place, it is interesting to note that the police are already talking about trying to locate and contact the next of kin of those two people, suggesting they have been able to make headway in terms of finding out who the victims were. thea;t make headway in terms of finding out who the victims were.— who the victims were. they seem to work really — who the victims were. they seem to work really quickly _ who the victims were. they seem to work really quickly because - who the victims were. they seem to work really quickly because this - work really quickly because this time yesterday we were talking about going through cctv, then talking to the taxi driver. already they have worked out this suspect came down to bristol from london and appears no longer to be in that area, and the met taking over. they have moved forward a significant distance? yes. forward a significant distance? yes, it was absent _ forward a significant distance? yes, it was absent in _ forward a significant distance? yes, it was absent in that _ forward a significant distance? yes it was absent in that statement. they only said there was no information to suggest that he was still here. i'm sure that they will have been trying to go through cctv, may be door bell cameras, any information. but the man was seeing

moving that direction in the bridge into the woods. where he will have gone from there, the police will surely have an idea but it is not being discussed at the moment. the investigation ongoing in shepherd's bush. that suggests that may have been the origin of his journey, but the appealfor been the origin of his journey, but the appeal for information from any sightings goes on. those images have been circulated. the black man with the beard, dressed in black with the backpack. if anyone has seen him, they must phone 999. the advises not to approach him. let they must phone 999. the advises not to approach him-— to approach him. let me 'ust bring ou the to approach him. let me 'ust bring you the tetest * to approach him. let me 'ust bring you the latest news _ to approach him. let me 'ust bring you the latest news from]- to approach him. let me just bring you the latest news from america. j to approach him. let me just bring i you the latest news from america. of course, so much focus onjoe biden after the gaffes yesterday in the nato summit. let me tell you that it is being reported on the reuters news agency that some major democratic donors, that roughly $19 million in pledges of the nations

will remain on hold if the us presidentjoe biden maintains his candidacy. that is being reported by the new york times citing unidentified sources. but that seems significant. it is being reported by the new york times, reuters also picking it up, roughly to the tune of $90 million in pledges, saying they want to keep that on hold in they want to keep that on hold in the current position forjoe biden if he stays in this race, remains the position. again, more pressure piling onjoe biden. we will return to that story in the next little while. but an interesting line being reported there. the man convicted of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder holly willoughby has been sentenced to life in prison. gavin plumb told an undercover police officer online about his plans to attack the tv presenter, and had assembled a kit of equipment to make his plans a reality. the court heard the extent

of the shock and fear felt by holly willoughby had been life—changing. our corresepondent lizo mzimba, was outside court, and gave us more about what thejudge said during sentencing. well, mrjustice murray gave his remarks here at chelmsford crown court earlier. as you say, he said he was satisfied that the offences had been life—changing for holly willoughby, both privately and professionally. he also detailed the factors that he was taking into account when reaching his sentencing — aggravation, the fact that gavin plumb had prior convictions for sexually motivated crimes against women, the detailed planning he'd carried out, the way he'd purchased items including the restraint kit, his research into holly willoughby�*s personal life and the fact he had tried to assemble more than one person to help him in his endeavours to kidnap, to rape and to murder holly willoughby.

in mitigation, he took into account that the plot was unlikely to succeed because of many factors, including gavin plumb's gross obesity at the time — he weighed somewhere between 25—30 stone. but he gave those details earlier here at chelmsford crown court, and then he actually spoke about the exact sentence he was going to pass on gavin plumb. it is clear from the evidence, including your prior convictions, that you pose a significant risk to women generally — of serious harm, occasioned by the commission of sexually motivated acts of threatened and actual violence. i find, in other words, that you are dangerous. having regard to the seriousness of each of your offences individually and together, as well as everything else i know about you — including the facts of your prior convictions for similarly sexually motivated violent offending against women — i conclude that i must

impose on you a sentence of imprisonment for life. now he will serve a minimum sentence of 16 years — taken off that is the time he's already spent on remand since his arrest last october, which is about 280 days. which means the minimum he will serve from today is 15 years and 85 days. now, the judge went on to emphasise that he would not be automatically released after this time — that is simply the earliest time the parole board can consider him for release by assessing whether he still poses a danger to the public. during gavin plumb's trial, the court heard how he was given a suspended sentence in 2006 for targeting two women in separate incidents. one of those victims has, for the first time, been speaking about that ordeal. our correspondent, charlotte gallagher, reports. before gavin plumb plotted the kidnap, rape and murder of holly willoughby,

he targeted four other women and teenage girls. maria is one of them. plumb attempted to kidnap herfrom a train. i remember the train being empty. there was another girl. she got onto the same carriage as i did. she sat somewhere in the middle. i went to the back. when i noticed that somebody came and sat right in front of me and i thought, "well, the carriage is empty." she's never spoken before about what happened to her but agreed to speak to me on the condition her voice was disguised. he passed me a note. i mean, i thought it'sjust some piece of paper. i didn't even look what he was doing — i ignored it. then he pushed it forward for me to read. and when i read it, it was something... something along the lines of, "get off the train with me. be quiet. um... don't do anything. get off the train with me and nothing will happen to anybody." he had a rope and

replica gun on him. and as i read that note, it was only then i looked at the person. so, my first impression was that he is huge. i have no chance. so there was this moment when i was just frozen and scared. but it was also disbelief. i thought, maybe he'sjoking? i mean, it's absurd. but he started pointing and showing me to stay quiet and he started approaching me with his hands. he held his hand on my knee and was indicating that we're going to go. in the note, it said, "get off with me at the next station." and after the initial freeze and disbelief, i realised what was going on. and i was frightened — that feeling was growing because i started realising that this massive man wants to get me off the train. i knew the next station is just a small village. at this point of time, there'll probably be nobody there.

i mean, it's surrounded by bushes and woods and i had all the worst scenarios cooking in my head. the other woman in the carriage noticed maria was in distress and raised the alarm. gavin plumb fled but was arrested after trying to kidnap another woman from a train. he was given a suspended sentence for those crimes. he'd later go on to falsely imprison two teenage girls in the shop he worked at. how did you feel when the holly willoughby case, it hit the newspapers? and presumably the police told you, "look, the person who did this to you has been arrested?" he did something that was bad enough to finally find him guilty and keep him in custody to keep him away from society. i do feel for holly because obviously she had to go through it in the spotlight and it must be difficult. you do not want your name to be attached to a person like gavin plumb, and this is one of the reasons i want to remain anonymous.

i don't want to be associated with him in any way. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. let's turn to the prisons announcement. thejustice secretary shabana mahmood has announced plans for thousands of prisoners to be released early, as the government attempts to prevent a "colla pse" of the prison system. the change is expected to come into force in september. violent and sexual offenders will not be eligible. the justice secretary thejustice secretary outlined her reasons for those changes. let the justice secretary outlined her reasons for those changes. let me ex-lain reasons for those changes. let me explain when _ reasons for those changes. let me explain when prisons _ reasons for those changes. let me explain when prisons run - reasons for those changes. let me explain when prisons run out - reasons for those changes. let me explain when prisons run out of. explain when prisons run out of space, when prisons are full, violence rises, putting prison officers on the front line at risk. when no sales are available, suspects cannot be held in custody. this means van loads of dangerous

people circling the country with nowhere to go. the police would have to use their cells as a prison overflow, keeping officers of the streets. and soon the courts would grind to a halt, unable to hold trials. and the police would have to stop carrying out arrests. with officers unable to act, criminals could do whatever they want a doubt consequence. we could see looters running amok, smashing into windows, robbing shops and setting neighbourhoods alight. in short, if we fail to act now, we face the collapse of the criminaljustice system. and a total breakdown of law and order. ., ., . system. and a total breakdown of law and order. . . , . and order. that was the justice secretary speaking _ and order. that was the justice secretary speaking in - and order. that was the justice secretary speaking in the - and order. that was the justice secretary speaking in the last i secretary speaking in the last little while. you may remember that we heard from the prime minister, sir keir starmer, yesterday in washington, saying the situation in prisons "is worse than i thought it would be".

we've also been hearing from news correspondent, will vernon. saying that he wasn't even aware of the true scale of the problem. i think this is the first major crisis, really, for this new labour government. i imagine they're not too delighted at all that one of their first important announcements in office is that they are going to be letting thousands of criminals, thousands of prisoners out of jail is early. the optics of that are not good, are they? it doesn't sound very good. but you're right, in terms of the longer—term problem, our colleagues at bbc verify have been looking at the figures on the number of people behind bars and government plans for building new prison capacity, and even with the current projections of how much prison capacity there will be going forward in the next few years,

that still won't be anywhere near enough to cope with the increased numbers of inmates. and why are there more people being locked up? well, it's partly because of the backlog caused by the pandemic, but also there have been changes in sentencing laws, and they mean that more people are being locked up for longer sentences. actually, 25% longer sentences now compared to 2012. so quite a big increase, and that's creating a real strain on the prison system. and it's notjust the prison system struggling — there are record numbers of people in remand, record numbers of people awaiting trial and record highs of people awaiting crown court cases. there's also the strain on the probation service. because if you're going to let thousands of people out of prison early, you need probation officers who will supervise them, monitor them. if you do not have the probation

officers — and many analysts say there are not the numbers there — even before this early release scheme will come into effect, they're overburdened as it is. so of course the risk there is that if there are not enough probation officers then some of those inmates who are being released early could then go on to reoffend. president biden has insisted he is still the most qualified candidate to take on donald trump in november's us election — despite making two errors that stunned an audience at a press conference in washington. he mistakenly introduced the ukrainian leader president zelensky as 'president putin' when hejoined him on stage. later, he referred to his deputy kamala harris, as "vice president trump". our north america editor sarah smith reports. world leaders at the nato summit had cringed when mr biden introduced a key european ally as his sworn enemy. and now i want to hand it over to the president of ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination.

ladies and gentlemen, president putin. applause president putin?! you're going to beat president putin. president zelensky. i'm so focussed on beating putin, we got to worry about it. anyway, mr president. i'm better. you are a hell of a lot better. it was an unfortunate start to an event at which president biden was under intense scrutiny, when he got the name of his own vice president, kamala harris, wrong. look, i wouldn't have picked vice—president trump to be vice—president if i didn't think she was not qualified to be president, so let's start there, number one. the fact is that the consideration is that i think i'm the most qualified person to run for president. i beat him once and i will beat him again. however, these were mr biden's only obvious mistakes. over the course of what was then nearly an hour of taking questions, there were no other slips like that — and president biden was discussing in depth the situation in ukraine,

the war in the middle east, his domestic economic policy here in the united states, at great length on some occasions. he made it clear he has no intention of pulling out of the presidential race, despite repeated questions about his fitness for office. and there was nothing in this performance that would force him to change his mind. i've taken three significant and intense neurological exams by the neurosurgeon, neurologist. in each case, as recently as february, and they say i'm in good shape, 0k? but after the event, more members of congress said they thought he should step aside, indicating this issue will continue to dog mr biden as he campaigns for re—election. sarah smith, bbc news, washington. this is what she told me voters are

saying aboutjoe biden and age. we have been pulling nationally, other companies have been pulling in key swing states, and we found people are very concerned aboutjoe biden pass age, his abilities and about that debate performances are just over a week ago. just about that debate performances are just over a week ago.— about that debate performances are just over a week ago. just give me a flavour of the _ just over a week ago. just give me a flavour of the sort _ just over a week ago. just give me a flavour of the sort of _ just over a week ago. just give me a flavour of the sort of things - just over a week ago. just give me a flavour of the sort of things that - flavour of the sort of things that people are saying, and when you talk about voters, are you talking about across the board voters, independence? tote across the board voters, independence?- across the board voters, independence? across the board voters, inde-endence? . ., ., ., independence? we did a reaction hold to the debate — independence? we did a reaction hold to the debate which _ independence? we did a reaction hold to the debate which was _ independence? we did a reaction hold to the debate which was actually - to the debate which was actually with independent voters, and they were heavily critical. a majority of them believed that biden's performance in that debate was down to dementia. they were just as critical about everything else. you can see that with the american electorate as a whole, too. we found that one in four voters thought that biden would not be able to stay

awake or cognisant enough throughout awake or cognisant enough throughout a cuban missile crisis style event. we also found that one in three don't even thinkjoe biden were to survive anotherfour don't even thinkjoe biden were to survive another four years or survive another four years or survive whatever hypothetical term that might be. and other poster found similarly damaging things. only 40% of democrats are happy that biden will be their nominee, if indeed he still is come november. whichever way you look at it, even at the headline numbers, which are tight between him and donald trump, much tighter than the margins we are used to in the uk elections for example, they are moving in the wrong direction for biden, firmly in the opposite direction. anything that shows a tie or the popular vote in favour of trump is very bad news forjoe biden. 50 in favour of trump is very bad news forjoe biden-— forjoe biden. so many strands of information _ forjoe biden. so many strands of information that _ forjoe biden. so many strands of information that people _ forjoe biden. so many strands of information that people are - information that people are reporting all of the time. the new york times is reporting that the biden campaign is now poling harris

against trump. have you tested that? how any alternative name would marry up how any alternative name would marry up against donald trump?— up against donald trump? testing hypotheticals _ up against donald trump? testing hypotheticals can _ up against donald trump? testing hypotheticals can be _ up against donald trump? testing hypotheticals can be a _ up against donald trump? testing hypotheticals can be a tricky - up against donald trump? testing hypotheticals can be a tricky thing | hypotheticals can be a tricky thing to do. people are quite bad at imagining how things would be if they changed. i think there is just more bad news for biden's camp, because there is no obvious easy successor to him. even the sort of other options, not necessarily meaning it would be a clear win for the democrats, even given how much of an unpopular candidate trump is. fans have started to arrive in a rainy berlin. ollie watkins was the hero of that semifinal without last—minute goal. he has been talking in the last hour or so at a news conference.—

going and scoring the winner with just a few seconds left on the clock. he talked about as well the togetherness in the group. a really interesting insight into what they have got through together over the past month, there is below par performances in the group. yes, winning their group, coming from behind in each of their knockout matches. putting fans through the wringer. extra time against slovakia, there is penalties against the swiss, and then ollie watkins stepping up and scoring that beautiful winner against the dutch. they had here for their first major final on foreign shores. that is on sunday. they will arrive in berlin tomorrow afternoon. but, yes, hugely confident at the same time. he knows just what a threat spain will pose, and he pointed out a couple of their players that england really need to watch out for. but he said their resilience, getting them to the brink of greatness once again, they

have really come together as a group. and he is confident. some england fans over the road, in an irish bar would you believe, matthew. courage they have carried with them from dortmund. i was going to ask ou with them from dortmund. i was going to ask you about _ with them from dortmund. i was going to ask you about the _ with them from dortmund. i was going to ask you about the fans, _ with them from dortmund. i was going to ask you about the fans, the - to ask you about the fans, the numbers. we have still got quite a lot of time. there are all manner of trips being organised to actually get there. are there a lot of fans in berlin are they still coming in? we have had terrible weather here over the last three or four hours. they have all been hunkering down in d but they are now beginning to emerge. the official allocation for the england supporters pass travel club is 10,000. but many fans got them in the uefa ballot many months ago. we spoke to a group from the midlands, for young lads. seven months ago, they bought four tickets

for the final on the off chance, £70 each, and they were absolutely cock—a—hoop. they managed to get here by hook or by crook to get into that final, where it is expected that final, where it is expected that england will outnumber the spaniards. they are expecting as many as 35,000 in the olympiastadion. that is about half the capacity. tote olympiastadion. that is about half the capacity-— the capacity. we will talk again in the capacity. we will talk again in the coming _ the capacity. we will talk again in the coming minutes. _ the capacity. we will talk again in the coming minutes. thanks - the capacity. we will talk again in the coming minutes. thanks veryj the coming minutes. thanks very much. now get back under that umbrella. olly foster in berlin. we will have the weather details here in a moment. before that, ijust want to put these pictures on the screen. they are pictures of the princess royal, princess anne, who has started a gradual return to royal duties. the national championships that are going on. less than three weeks of course that she spent five nights in hospital after suffering what buckingham palace said it was a minor head injury at the end ofjune. those are

the pictures from the last little while. now the weather as promised. here is elizabeth. hello there. good afternoon. it's a very cloudy picture across much of the uk today. some of the cloud thick enough to produce a few spots of drizzle. some showers later. it's cooler than yesterday. but we do have some sunshine, and some of the best of that is across the central belt of scotland, down through western wales, and for south west england, too. west is best in terms of sunshine amounts, with high pressure edging in from the atlantic. low pressure spinning northwards and eastwards out into the north sea. so, here, quite a brisk northerly wind, the possibility of some more showers — and plenty of cloud. but there will be some breaks in the cloud here and there at times. but where we see them, watch out for some showers — thunderstorms, maybe, across the southwest of england. and temperatures with that northerly wind — disappointing for the time of year. but we could still possibly get to 20 celsius in glasgow. pollen levels — well, they're moderate to high. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, again,

we're going to keep those showers going towards eastern coasts of england in particular. a lot of cloud around tonight. a few clearer breaks, maybe, out towards the west, but generally a misty, damp start to the day tomorrow. temperatures staying in double figures. and then for tomorrow — well, it stays more or less the same. high pressure drifts a little bit further towards the north, so there will be some sunshine for the far north and west. low pressure starts to push further northwards and eastwards. so this means that we're going to see more of a north—easterly wind. and it will feel quite brisk, i think — again, towards these north sea facing coasts, with some showers at times. elsewhere, the winds are really very light. there will be a lot of cloud around, but some of the cloud will thin and break at times to give us some brighter, some sunny spells. but again, watch out for the possibility of some showers developing where we see the sunshine, and then the shower risk will melt away — along with a lot of that cloud into the evening. but temperatures still again below the seasonal average. things do look a little brighter, a little warmer on sunday. low pressure still in the north sea.

it's still quite cloudy towards the north with some showers, but across much of england, for any pre—football celebrations, it should be largely dry, and it will feel a bit warmer. a bit more in the way of sunshine, too. as we head through sunday night and into monday, low pressure again approaches from the west. monday — we'll see some showery outbreaks of rain. here's the outlook for our capital cities. but as you can see, it will feel a little warmer

welcome to bbc news. let's turn to our main headlines. human remains found in two suitcases in bristol are believed to be those of two aduu are believed to be those of two adult men. the metropolitan police have taken over the manhunt to find the suspect. the man who plotted to kidnap, rape and murderthe the suspect. the man who plotted to kidnap, rape and murder the tv presenter holly willoughby is sentenced to life in prison. the justice secretary says plans to release thousands of inmates early are the only way to avert disaster in the prison system. the princess royal, princess anne, returns to royal, princess anne, returns to royal duties for the first time since her treatment for a minor head injury last month. and speaking at a press conference in the last hour or so, ollie watkins described how it felt to score that goal. i so, ollie watkins described how it felt to score that goal.— so, ollie watkins described how it felt to score that goal. i knew when i was going — felt to score that goal. i knew when i was going onto — felt to score that goal. i knew when i was going onto the _ felt to score that goal. i knew when i was going onto the pitch - felt to score that goal. i knew when i was going onto the pitch that - felt to score that goal. i knew when i was going onto the pitch that i - i was going onto the pitch that i was going to score, i manifested it,

i had worked very hard to get to that point. it's been an amazing feeling and i am not shocked. straight to breaking news, that main headline story. i want to take you straight to the helicopter pictures that are currently coming into us live from above shepherd's bush in west london. that has become the second crime scene in this bristol manhunt, the story that has dominated since 24 hours ago when we heard avon and somerset police say they were looking for a suspect after human remains had been found in two suitcases near bristol suspension bridge. a significant update that we had from police, and i will return to that in a moment, but these pictures are from shepherd's bush because the police have said that the suspect travelled

from london to bristol. they have established that through cctv. they spoke to the taxi driver, but they have no information about the suspect�*s whereabouts now, but they have traced the trail back to this area in west london. that has become area in west london. that has become a second crime scene. the other significant development today, in terms of the update from police, we knew about human remains, but confirmation that in those suitcases, the remains of two adult men. two adult men, so a really significant development of this story. yesterday, if you are watching, you would have seen, during that press briefing from the police, they issued a photofit, a picture of the suspect. let me put that onto the screen as well. that is the man they are hunting, really clear image of his face. they gave a description of all the things he was wearing— a black rucksack as well,

and people had seen that man arrive at the bridge acting suspiciously. the police were called. they found one suitcase and then in further examinations of that area they found the second suitcase as well. that is when they discovered human remains. the forensic work has continued around bristol suspension bridge and of course we have that forensic postmortem examination. we wait to hear details about potentially the identities of the two suspects. what was released yesterday, i will take you back to the pictures over west london, because the helicopters absolutely circling and centring around a location in shepherd's bush. let me put those pictures back on the screen because they are coming into us all the time. there it is, the split on the screen. one side is the suspect and one side the area that has now become the second crime scene. the police in bristol,

avon and somerset police, have been giving an update. let's hear a little of that.— little of that. the discovery of human remains _ little of that. the discovery of human remains in _ little of that. the discovery of human remains in two - little of that. the discovery of i human remains in two suitcases little of that. the discovery of - human remains in two suitcases in bristol on wednesday night has understandably caused shock and deep concern. over the past 36 hours significant progress has been made in the investigation. up until now it has been led by officers and staff from our major crime investigation team. as a direct result of these inquiries, and due to information gathered so far, privacy for this investigation has now been handed over to the metropolitan police. it is believed the man, wanted in connection with this incident, had travelled to the clifton area of bristol from london earlier on wednesday. then he took a taxi to clifton suspension bridge where suitcases were unloaded. there is also a crime scene in place at

shepherd's bush. our detectives are working closely with the inquiry team from the met police and we will continue to assist them in any way we can. we are able to confirm forensic postmortem examinations are still being carried out on the remains found within the two suitcases. they are believed to be that of two adult men. it is important to stress that they have not been formally identified at this time and efforts to locate and speak to their next of kin are being prioritised. the search for the man we released photos of yesterday is now being led by the metropolitan police. there is no information to suggest he remains in the avon and somerset police area. he is described however, just to reiterate, is black, with a beard. he was wearing a black adidas baseball cap with a white motif on the front, blackjeans, blackjacket with a motif on the front, black jeans, black jacket with a motif on the the front, blackjeans, blackjacket with a motif on the chest, black trainers with white thick soled. he

was also believed to have been wearing a gold earring and carrying a black backpack. we would still urge anyone who does see him not to approach him and to call 999 immediately. we are incredibly grateful to the public for the way they have responded to our appeals for information. policing relies on the support of the public and we would truly like to thank everyone who contacted us to supply information or help in any way. we have had more than 160 messages to the major incident room phone number and our online portal. we would also like to thank the residents for their patients for the disruption caused by the clifton suspension bridge was closed. the bridge reopened earlier today following the completion of our inquiries and the ravouvou of the cording. despite the investigation being transferred to the metropolitan police our neighbourhood teams will continue to carry out engagement patrols in the area over the next coming days and we have a mobile police station

located behind me that will have officers and staff there. we stress to residents that if there are any concerns, please come and contact one of the team. for any information, excluding sightings, which i reiterate, is 999, but for any other information details can continue to be submitted on the major incident public portal which can be found online or indeed by calling the major incident room number, the numbers of which i shall give out now. if you live in the uk it is zero 800 056 0944. however if calling from abroad please do call 0207, 15800 ten. hank you all for your time. 0207, 15800 ten. hank you all for our time. ., . 0207, 15800 ten. hank you all for your time-— 0207, 15800 ten. hank you all for our time. . , , ., ., your time. that is the update from tolice in your time. that is the update from police in bristol _ your time. that is the update from police in bristol as _ your time. that is the update from police in bristol as we _ your time. that is the update from police in bristol as we return - your time. that is the update from police in bristol as we return to . police in bristol as we return to those helicopter pictures above shepherd's bush in west london which has become the second crime scene in this manhunt. we will be live at the scene a

little later in our programme but very significant, that update from police, saying the investigation is handed over now to the metropolitan police, confirming the suspect had travelled from london to bristol on wednesday with those suitcases and i will repeat that crucial line, the suitcases contained the remains of two adult men. you can see forensic work continuing on the scene now the focus has shifted to west london. plenty more on that story as it comes into us. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after three women were killed in hertfordshire. here is our correspondence with the latest. the update is that a man has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of murder. kyle clifford, who is 26 years old, from enfield in

north london, is the man who has been arrested. remains in a serious condition in hospital. you will recall that huge manhunt on wednesday for him when many officers were out trying to find kyle clifford. he was eventually located to a cemetery in enfield in north london. he had suffered injuries and found with injuries. he was taken to a london hospital where he remains. he has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of murder. the victims as we have been reporting, other wife and two daughters of the bbc racing commentatorjohn hunt. they are carol hunt, hannah hunt and louise hunt. we also know the police have recovered a crossbow in their investigations and at the scene in bushy, where the investigation and forensic work is continuing, they have slightly moved back the cord on and they have moved all the flowers,

and they have moved all the flowers, and many bouquets of flowers, that had been left for the victims. they have been moved to the front garden of the hunt family home. that is where bouquets of flowers and balloons are, but also that investigation is continuing. there are still a number of police officers at the scene. that latest development from hertfordshire police in this investigation. kyle clifford, 26 years old, has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of murder. he remains in a serious condition in hospital. a 17—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after two women were injured in kent. police recorded to the place of worship. the teenager is being held on suspicion of a religiously aggravated public order offence. a bladed weapon has been recovered from the scene. our report is there.

it is a real hub of the community and worshippers are in shock at what happened. they have been what's happening each other about it. police were called here at around 8pm last night to reports that someone had entered the temple and that they were armed with what officers are calling a bladed weapon. a 17—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and an religiously aggravated public order offence was not video has been circulating which we can't verify, but it appears to show the arrest. as far as the weapon is concerned officials here tell me it was a weapon seized from the premises, that it was a ceremonial sword. we tried to contact police, who would not confirm one way or the other whether that was the case. what police are saying is that the person with the weapon attempted to assault people. no one was seriously injured although some women were treated for cuts and bruises. it is

co—operating fully with kent police after the arrest let's return to the breaking news that carpetright is at risk. another high—street staple struggling. carpetright sells everything from carpets and lino to a range of other things like mattresses, blinds, curtains, even garden furniture and artificial grass. has been struggling for while now. it was put up for sale earlier this week. no surprise, this next step. it has not gone into administration. it has gone to the high court to file its intention to appoint administrators. we understand that will be pricewaterhousecoopers. they are not quite there yet. it means that for

now the 272 stores and 1800 jobs will carry on as normal. certainly a big dark cloud over the business. the immediate aim is to try to secure some long term future. typically, in this situation, it will be some sale to another retailer and a few names have been in the frame. 0r retailer and a few names have been in the frame. or it would enter into a voluntary agreement which in effect means it will be broken up for parts, possibly some stores would carry on with the name even, and inevitably that situation does mean job losses. and inevitably that situation does meanjob losses. the and inevitably that situation does mean job losses. the overall owner of carpetright owns a number of retailers and its sio said that restructuring plans which they had been looking at some time, a slump in april when it fell victim to other companies to a cyber attack. malware got in. he said this resulted in the company seeking this

period but they have a ten day grace period but they have a ten day grace period to find a buyer for the business. he adds that the main priority will be to ensure customers and colleagues are impacted as little as possible.— little as possible. thanks very much, a worrying _ little as possible. thanks very much, a worrying time - little as possible. thanks very much, a worrying time for - little as possible. thanks very much, a worrying time for all| little as possible. thanks very i much, a worrying time for all of those 1800 staff members. i want to take it back to that breaking story that we heard from the police in bristol because their investigation has shifted now. the metropolitan police are taking it over and this is the second crime scene in west london. picture is now at ground level in shepherd's bush. it is an area that has been focused on because we have learned in the last hour and a bit is that two male adults, that is what was found in the suitcases, remains from two aduu the suitcases, remains from two adult males. a significant development. we knew yesterday that human remains had been found in the

suitcases in bristol but two adult men, that is what police are now saying, have been confirmed in those suitcases. the further bit of information, which leads police to shepherd's bush, to west london, is that the suspect travelled from london to bristol on wednesday with those suitcases. they have been able to piece that together through further this is the area they are now centring upon. you can see large numbers of police cars there on the grounds with an area cordoned off. he saw a little earlier police and forensic suits beginning their work. that is exactly what we saw in bristol little earlier with all that forensic work around bristol suspension bridge where those suitcases have been found. they had a lot to go on, the police, because they cctv, but they also crucially had located and identified the taxi

and the taxi driver that picked up the suspect when he arrived in bristol. a lot of information very quickly that police were able to glean and that has led them to west london with the metropolitan police now taking over this investigation. you can see the pictures from bristol suspension bridge. that is where the suitcases were found and it is worth putting onto the screen the photofit, the picture that police release yesterday of the man they are trying to identify. you can see it as a really clear picture of his face. police publicising that picture in the hope of gleaning information but giving a description of what he was wearing. they say the suspect is no longer in the avon and somerset area but they haven't indicated where he has gone. they know he travelled from london to bristol but that is where they have

lost track of him. further appeals to the public if they see this man, to the public if they see this man, to contact them, not to obviously approach him, but to dial 999. those are the latest details of the picture of the man they are searching for. there are aerial pictures from west london with pictures from west london with pictures on the ground as well in terms of the latest on that police hunt. let's return to some of the day's other stories. four migrants have drowned while trying to cross the english channel in a small boat. the french navy responded to reports last night that several people had gone overboard. 63 people were rescued. nine remain in a serious condition. the latest deaths are a reminder of the dangerous lengths people will go to, to reach the uk. at the moment, no new asylum seekers are being processed. our uk correspondent daniel sandford has spoken to two people who are stuck in legal limbo,

waiting to see whether the new government will change the policy and allow their claims to be dealt with. reporting to the police in luton as he has to every fortnight, suhaibjaber is an asylum seeker from syria, whose application has made no progress for 20 months. along with more than 100,000 others, he's stuck in legal limbo with no way out. and this week, hundreds more people arrived illegally across the english channel on small boats. under a law passed by the conservative government last year, none of them can be granted asylum. so the list of people in limbo just grows. it's the only thing that i want — just to treat us like human beings, not numbers. i'm nota number. suhaib arrived illegally by boat in 2022, but having been tortured by the assad regime and the islamic state group, he has a good chance of getting asylum in the uk if his case is looked at.

instead, he was warned he might be sent to rwanda and, with his family still in turkey, he hopes the new government will unblock cases like his so he can see his kids again. my children grew up without me. some of them even doesn't know me. sometimes my youngest daughter, she looks at me and she's like trying to discover me. so who's that? and because cases like his are not being processed, the accommodation bill isjust growing. it's costing taxpayers millions of pounds a day. this week, this entire holiday inn, south of luton, was still given over to asylum seekers. the conservative government has essentially taken away the right for a refugee to come here and ask to be given safety, to be given asylum. and that needs to be fixed. it needs to be fixed very quickly by dealing with people's cases in a timely and efficient fashion. yani told me she's fleeing

persecution in east africa and asked us not to use her real name. she'd been in asylum limbo for a year when, in may, she was suddenly detained and told she was being sent to rwanda. a victim of trafficking, she was then held for more than a month before being released, when it was clear the rwanda scheme would be scrapped. i've never been detained, actually imprisoned, that's the word. so this is the first time i was experiencing it and it was bad. so i felt very, very depressed. the new government has promised to crack down on the people smugglers like those launching this boat yesterday in france. there'll be a new border security command, but it could take months to have an impact. so with the rwanda plan abandoned, labour ministers will have to grasp the nettle and change the rules, including last year's illegal migration act, that are preventing new asylum claims being processed. daniel sandford, bbc news.

is in mumbai and told us what we can expect from the big day. glitz, glamour and a star—studded event. the three—day wedding celebrations see the who's who of global businesses, films, sports and politics, all make theirway to mumbai. former uk prime ministers is borisjohnson, sir tony blair, celebrities like priyanka chopra, nickjonas, john cena, are some big names who have already reached the city. scores of private jets are landing in mumbai which is seeing one of its rainiest days this season. and the city's central business district, where the wedding celebrations are taking place, has practically closed for general traffic. it is deemed as a public event and officers in that area have turned to to walk from home to avoid traffic snarls. the grandiose wedding will see the couple tie the knot with hindu rituals today, followed by two days of reception. it is a culmination of pre—wedding celebrations which began as early as december, but the big one was in march with an event held injamnagar — that's the home town of the ambani family and the location

of their major oil refining complex. it hosted 1,200 guests, including mark zuckerberg, bill gates, ivanka trump. katy perry, rhianna, backstreet boys, justin bieber, were just some of them who performed at the pre—wedding celebrations and current celebrations are expected to amp up the glitz. the ambanis are known for their lavish weddings but this one is turning out to be the most glamorous and expensive to date. some critics have called it the most ostentatious, with the public display of wealth and opulence in a country known for its rising wealth inequality. but despite the criticism the wedding has been one of the most watched and followed events on social media. for the ambanis, however, running the country's most valuable business conglomerate, it is also a show of their clout. just want to return to pictures of

shepherd's bush, the focus of that bristol manhunt shifting today to west london to shepherd's bush. you see some of the forensic work going on. we will talk live to our correspondent, joe inwood. he is there with the very latest details. that has shifted from bristol to london and confirmation that in terms of the human remains and those suitcases, they are the remains of two adult men. the latest on that developing story here in just a moment or two. let's pause before all of that. and let's catch up with the weather details with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good afternoon. it's a very cloudy picture across much of the uk today. some of the cloud thick enough to produce a few spots of drizzle. some showers later. it's cooler than yesterday, but we do have some sunshine. and some of the best of that is across the central belt of scotland, down through western wales, and for south west england, too, west is best in terms

of sunshine amounts, with high pressure edging in from the atlantic. low pressure spinning northwards and eastwards out into the north sea. so here quite a brisk northerly wind, the possibility of some more showers, and plenty of cloud. but there will be some breaks in the cloud here and there at times. but where we see them, watch out for some showers, thunderstorms, maybe, across the southwest of england, and temperatures with that northerly wind — disappointing for the time of year, but we could still possibly get to 20 c in glasgow. pollen levels — well, they're moderate to high. now, as we head through this evening and overnight, again, we're going to keep those showers going towards eastern coasts of england in particular. a lot of cloud around tonight. a few clearer breaks, maybe, out towards the west, but generally a misty, damp start to the day tomorrow. temperatures staying in double figures. and then for tomorrow, well, it stays more or less the same. high pressure drifts a little bit further towards the north, so there will be some sunshine for the far north and west. low pressure starts to push further northwards and eastwards. so this means that we're going to see more of a north easterly wind and it will feel quite

brisk, i think again, towards these north sea facing coasts, with some showers at times. elsewhere the winds are really very light. there will be a lot of cloud around, but some of the cloud will thin and break at times to give us some brighter, some sunny spells. but again, watch out for the possibility of some showers developing where we see the sunshine, and then the shower risk will melt away, along with a lot of that cloud into the evening. but temperatures still again below the seasonal average. things do look a little brighter, a little warmer on sunday. low pressure still in the north sea. it's still quite cloudy towards the north with some showers, but across much of england, for any pre—football celebrations, it should be largely dry, and it will feel a bit warmer. a bit more in the way of sunshine, too. as we head through sunday night and into monday, low pressure again approaches from the west. monday we'll see some showery outbreaks of rain. here's the outlook for our capital cities. but as you can see, it will feel a little warmer into the start of next week. bye— bye.

live from london, this is bbc news. police search a house in west london as the focus into human remains found in two suitcases in bristol shifts to the capital. the man who plotted — to kidnap, rape and murder — tv presenter holly willoughby — is sentenced to life in prison. the justice secretary says plans to release thousands of inmates early are "the only way to avert disaster" in the prisons system.

from police, we had those details in bristol yesterday after the discovery of human remains in two suitcases found at the bristol suspension bridge, and the development this afternoon, confirmation that in those suitcases were the remains of two adult men, have been found. please say they've travelled from london to bristol, they've pieced all the details together and turned to the second site, where the metropolitan police are now taking over the investigation. joe inwood is there investigation. joe inwood is there in shepherds bush for us, and just to give us a sense, we are looking at the aerial pictures, but give us at the aerial pictures, but give us a sense of everything happening around you. 50 a sense of everything happening around you-— a sense of everything happening around ou. ., , �*, around you. so that is scott's road behind me. _ around you. so that is scott's road behind me, it's _ around you. so that is scott's road behind me, it's been _ around you. so that is scott's road behind me, it's been taped off, i around you. so that is scott's road behind me, it's been taped off, a l behind me, it's been taped off, a steady stream of police vehicles and officers coming and going. we can't

on wednesday evening. they pulled up here and witnesses have described heavy bags being pulled from the back of the taxi, then dragged towards the bridge. we believe he dragged to the cases across the bridge, potentially looking for a place where he could tip them over into the river. it's a really high spot, but it's also such a prominent landmark. it's very well that night, there's cctv all over the bridge, and the fences very high. it would be very difficult to lift heavy that night, and it seems he gave up and continue to cross the bridge. he continued off the end of this bridge and we believe this is the point where he was challenged, questioned about his suspicious behaviour, and that's why he dumped the bags in this area here and carried on that way. so it was security staff from the bridge who actually came to investigate and made the room discovery. a witness has told us

that a cyclist pursued in the man down this road, about five minutes walk away from the bridge at this point, and described as shouting at each other. this is where the photograph was taken that police have released, the man gesturing towards the camera. after that, we believe he went off in that direction, going towards the edge of bristol, the countryside in the woods. there is very little cctv coverage after that and there's no trace of him. coverage after that and there's no trace of him-— coverage after that and there's no trace of him. . ., . ., ,., trace of him. that was dan johnson. i was telling — trace of him. that was dan johnson. i was telling you _ trace of him. that was dan johnson. i was telling you a _ trace of him. that was dan johnson. i was telling you a short _ trace of him. that was dan johnson. i was telling you a short while - i was telling you a short while ago we had an update from police in bristol — a lot of new detail from them, so let's return and listen to that. fits them, so let's return and listen to that. �* . ., . . them, so let's return and listen to that. . , ., that. as a direct result of these in t uiries that. as a direct result of these inquiries and — that. as a direct result of these inquiries and due _ that. as a direct result of these inquiries and due to _ that. as a direct result of these | inquiries and due to information gathered so far, primacy for this investigation has been handed over to the metropolitan police. it is believed the man wanted in connection with this incident had

travelled to the clifton area of bristol from london earlier on wednesday before taking a taxi to clifton suspension bridge, where the suitcases were unloaded. there was also a crime scene in place at shepherd's bush. our detectives are working closely with the inquiry team from the met police and will continue to assist them in any way we can. we are able to confirm forensic postmortem investigations are being carried out on the remains found within the two suitcases, but they are believed to be that of two aduu they are believed to be that of two adult men. it's important to stress that they have not been formally identified at this time, and efforts to locate and speak to their next of kin are being prioritised. the search for the man we released photos of yesterday is now being led by the metropolitan police. there is no information to suggest he remains in the avon and somerset police area. he is described as black with area. he is described as black with a beard. he was wearing a black

adidas base ball cap with a white motif on the front, blackjeans, a black jacket with a motif on the front, blackjeans, a blackjacket with a motif on the chest, and black trainers with white thick souls. he was also believed to have been wearing a gold earring and carrying a black backpack. we would still urge anyone who does see him not to approach him and to call 999 immediately. not to approach him and to call 999 immediately-— immediately. some of the latest there from _ immediately. some of the latest there from that _ immediately. some of the latest there from that police _ immediately. some of the latest there from that police press - there from that police press conference, let me take you back to west london and remind you of the work, the pictures being done there — because of course, we saw the aerial pictures, but this on the ground gives you an idea of the whole areas of streets thatjoe inwood was pointing to being taped off as the forensic work concentrating on the house they are in shepherd's bush, and that following the news that the metropolitan police is taking over this investigation after the police

there, and that update confirming there, and that update confirming the suspect had travelled from london to bristol. we don't know where he's gone to subsequently, but certainly travelled to bristol from london, and of course, that confirmation that in the suitcases, they have confirmed the remains of two adult men. so those are the latest details and pictures — if there is more, we will obviously return to that major story. the man convicted of plotting to kidnapped, rape and murder holly willoughby has been sentenced to life today. he had been sentenced to life today. he had been telling police online about his plans to attack the tv presenter and have assembled a kit of equipment to make his plans a reality. the court heard the extent of the shock and the fear felt by holly willoughby had been "life—changing". our correspondent was outside court and told me more about what the judge had said during today's sentencing.

both privately and professionally life—changing for holly willoughby. he also detailed the factors that he was taking into account when reaching his sentence in aggravation — the fact that gavin plumb had prior convictions for sexually motivated crimes against women, the detailed planning he carried out, including purchasing items for a restraint kit, his research in the holly willoughby�*s personal life and that he had tried to assemble more than one person to help them in his endeavours to kidnap, rape, and murder holly willoughby. in mitigation, he took into account that the plot was unlikely to succeed because of many factors, including gavin plumb's gross obesity at the time — he weighed somewhere between 25—30 stone. but

he gave those details earlier here at chelmsford crown court, and he spoke about the sins he would pass on to gavin plumb. it is spoke about the sins he would pass on to gavin plumb.— on to gavin plumb. it is clear from the evidence. _ on to gavin plumb. it is clear from the evidence, including _ on to gavin plumb. it is clear from the evidence, including your- on to gavin plumb. it is clear from the evidence, including your prior| the evidence, including your prior convictions, — the evidence, including your prior convictions, that you pose a significant risk to women generally of serious — significant risk to women generally of serious harm, occasioned by the occasion— of serious harm, occasioned by the occasion of— of serious harm, occasioned by the occasion of socially motivated acts of threatened and actual violence. i find, _ of threatened and actual violence. i find, in _ of threatened and actual violence. i find, in other words, of threatened and actual violence. i find, in otherwords, that of threatened and actual violence. i find, in other words, that you are dangerous — find, in other words, that you are dangerous. having regard to the seriousness of each of your offences individually— seriousness of each of your offences individually and together, as well as everything else i know about you, including _ as everything else i know about you, including the fact of your prior convictions, for similarly sexually motivated — convictions, for similarly sexually motivated violent offending against women, _ motivated violent offending against women, i_ motivated violent offending against women, i conclude that i must impose on you _ women, i conclude that i must impose on you a _ women, i conclude that i must impose on you a sense of imprisonment for life. ., , ., life. now he will serve a minimum sentence of _ life. now he will serve a minimum sentence of 16 _ life. now he will serve a minimum sentence of 16 years, _ life. now he will serve a minimum sentence of 16 years, taken - life. now he will serve a minimum sentence of 16 years, taken off- life. now he will serve a minimum. sentence of 16 years, taken off that is the time already spent on remand since his arrest last october, which is about 280 days — meeting the

take time and having sufficient staff to run them takes time. we are not in a position to build her way out of this, we will have to build additional capacity, but there was a need for immediate action, and the only action we could see that would produce the required reduction in prison population was the one that's been taken. the prison population was the one that's been taken-— been taken. the assessment is it t ives the been taken. the assessment is it gives the government _ been taken. the assessment is it gives the government perhaps i been taken. the assessment is itj gives the government perhaps 18 months where this is not at crisis level — what should be happening in that 18 months? should it be the concentration on building new prisons or a reassessment of who goes to prison, and the numbers that goes to prison, and the numbers that go to prison? the goes to prison, and the numbers that go to prison?— go to prison? the only answer is both, because _ go to prison? the only answer is both, because prisons _ go to prison? the only answer is both, because prisons are - go to prison? the only answer is. both, because prisons are already overcrowded, so 88,000 people in prison today in a prisoner state that was built for 79,000 people. so building extra prisons is something

that we need to do in any case, but you're absolutely right, there is a need to consider how and why we use prison, and look at other things we would do to divert people from the criminaljustice would do to divert people from the criminal justice system would do to divert people from the criminaljustice system before they ever enter it. so greater support in the community for people with mental health problems, with substance misuse issues will all have a impact on the prison publishing going forward. but what we want to see going forward is a very clear line drawn by government between the capacity available in our prisons in the laws they choose to make to help protect the public. so changes to the criminal law that will result in more people being sent to prison should be properly costed and planned, and those plans to produce the capacity that we need need to be funded. it’s the capacity that we need need to be funded. �* . . the capacity that we need need to be funded. �* , , ., , ., funded. it's interesting that you talk about those _ funded. it's interesting that you talk about those new _ funded. it's interesting that you talk about those new plans - funded. it's interesting that you talk about those new plans and | funded. it's interesting that you i talk about those new plans and the public as well, because that is also the obvious backdrop here, because

you're going to beat president putin. president zelensky. i'm so focussed on beating putin, we got to worry about it. anyway, mr president. i'm better. you are a hell of a lot better. it was an unfortunate start to an event at which president biden was under intense scrutiny, when he got the name of his own vice president, kamala harris, wrong. look, i wouldn't have picked vice—president trump to be vice—president if i didn't think she was not qualified to be president, so let's start there, number one. the fact is that the consideration is that i think i'm the most qualified person to run for president. i beat him once and i will beat him again. however, these were mr biden's only obvious mistakes. over the course of what was then nearly an hour of taking questions, there were no other slips like that — and president biden was discussing in depth the situation in ukraine, the war in the middle east, his domestic economic policy here in the united states, at great length on some occasions.

he made it clear he has no intention of pulling out of the presidential race, despite repeated questions about his fitness for office. and there was nothing in this performance that would force him to change his mind. i've taken three significant and intense neurological exams by the neurosurgeon, neurologist. in each case, as recently as february, and they say i'm in good shape, 0k? but after the event, more members of congress said they thought he should step aside, indicating this issue will continue to dog mr biden as he campaigns for re—election. sarah smith, bbc news, washington. let's speak to nada tawfik. what will follow him as more

questions about his gaffes, age and capacity. questions about his gaffes, age and ca-aci . ~ , , , questions about his gaffes, age and ca-aci . , , capacity. absolutely, president joe biden is in and _ capacity. absolutely, president joe biden is in and externally - capacity. absolutely, president joe biden is in and externally difficult i biden is in and externally difficult situation. he acknowledged he has to be out in public more to reassure voters and key democrats that he has the stamina and mental fitness to continue leading for another four years. also though, he has to be very careful in these very visible events that he doesn't have any more gaffes that could hurt his campaign further, after that disastrous debate two weeks ago has led to at least 16 democrats in the house of representatives and one senator calling on him to "do the patriotic thing and step aside" to allow somebody to go up against donald trump. nowjoe biden is insistent, we heard there, that he thinks he's the best person to not only beat

donald trump, but to govern. and he was asked what it would take for him to step aside — he said it would take no less than his staff saying there's absolutely no way that he can be president trump. so matthew, another kind of event today that will be crucial for his campaign another kind of event today that will be crucialfor his campaign — in fact, every event going forward will be scrutinised, just underscoring the position he's in. now about a dozen prominent democrats in detroit have put out a letter saying that they stand behind joe biden, they have unwavering support for him — but we will see what these next few days will bring, and indeed, how the rally goes tonight, how voters respond to him. it certainly forjoe biden is another opportunity to reassure voters that he's the best positioned.— voters that he's the best positioned. voters that he's the best tositioned. �* , .., positioned. let's continue with this. let's speak to the former national security adviser, lord kim darroch, who was britain's

ambassador to the united states between 2016 and 2019. welcome to the programme. when you were watching that summit, those gaffes last night, will did you think? i gaffes last night, will did you think? ~' �* gaffes last night, will did you think? ~ �* , , , think? i think biden supporters will sa it's think? i think biden supporters will say it's terribly _ think? i think biden supporters will say it's terribly unfair, _ think? i think biden supporters will say it's terribly unfair, just - think? i think biden supporters will say it's terribly unfair, just two i say it's terribly unfair, just two slips of the tongue, and it's true that donald trump makes lots of these in his extremely long campaign speeches and gets away with it. but the trouble is the biden team set this up as a key test of their man after that catastrophic debate. they said, "look how he performs at the nato press conference," then this happens. so i think it's very bad for him, i think more support will soup away from him, i think more donors will question whether he's the man for this contest in november —— will slip away from him, and i think life willjust get extremely difficult for him over the next few

weeks. , , , ., ., ,. weeks. very interesting you talk about donors, _ weeks. very interesting you talk about donors, because - weeks. very interesting you talk about donors, because i- weeks. very interesting you talk about donors, because i broke i weeks. very interesting you talk. about donors, because i broke this line a while ago that rotors were reporting coding the new york times at some major democratic donors have told the largest pro biden super pac that roughly $90 million in pledged donations will remain on hold if president biden maintains his candidacy. so yet another area of pressure. you said at the end of your answer the next few weeks — i've heard analysts, democrats saying the next 3—4 days will be really consequential. it could happen that quickly, do you think? it might, although biden seems very well dug in. but your point about donors is very important because once we are through the two conventions — the republicans in july and the democrats in august — you will get bulletins or tv adverts from the two candidates through

september and october, especially the battleground states, which cost a huge amount of money. if the biden coffers aren't full for that, it's really serious and damaging. so i don't know about the next four days — he's gotten interview with lester holt on monday which will be critical, but the golden rule seems to be, every public appearance, one gaffe. so it would be astonishing if if he came out of that on the basis of his previous record with a clean bill of help. so i'm sceptical — if i were one of his entourage, i would be thinking seriously about whether it is actually sensible for him to carry on this fight as the opposition to him mounts. the trouble is _ opposition to him mounts. the trouble is if _ opposition to him mounts. the trouble is if he _ opposition to him mounts. the trouble is if he does, it becomes very ugly within the party — you know washington really well, you

know washington really well, you know politics really well, give me a sense of what you think is happening behind the scenes. the sense of what you think is happening behind the scenes.— behind the scenes. the key thing is, as ou behind the scenes. the key thing is, as you say. — behind the scenes. the key thing is, as you say. it _ behind the scenes. the key thing is, as you say. it gets — behind the scenes. the key thing is, as you say, it gets very _ behind the scenes. the key thing is, as you say, it gets very difficult i as you say, it gets very difficult if the democrats go into the election campaign post the conventions divided, with some of them having publicly opposed biden's candidacy, that would be really bad. biden has been behind in the polls, albeit marginally, for months now — that gap has grown slightly since the debate — so he's really struggling. there will be senior democrats from congress who will be giving their opinions, and people like nancy pelosi will be critical in this. former leader barack obama, who some of our reporting was behind george clooney�*s intervention, saying that biden should stand down

— you will be influential. and as i said, the donors are crucial to it because you can't campaign where the divided party, but you can't deliver a tv blitz in early autumn, then you are really in difficulty, and they are really in difficulty, and they are already behind. so i think there will be some real heart searching. and if they don't make a decision to try and persuade him to stand down, they need to do it quickly so they can plan a process up to their convention in august for how they will choose another candidate —— and if they are going to make a decision. because there —— this is all quite murky and they need to make their minds up. find all quite murky and they need to make their minds up.— all quite murky and they need to make their minds up. and the need to make their minds up. and the need to make their minds up. and the need to make their mindset _ make their minds up. and the need to make their mindset because - make their minds up. and the need to make their mindset because of - make their minds up. and the need to make their mindset because of it i make their mindset because of it they say is the extensional from donald trump. here's the thing you will rememberfrom the donald trump. here's the thing you will remember from the 1960s, when jfk was taunted about being young in his presidential debate, he came up with a clever answer, "it's

something i'm working on everyday." the trouble is withjoe biden, he gets older by the day, and this is something that potentially gets worse, not better going forward. exactly, it's not a question about necessarily how he's performing — although everyone is looking at that day by day now — but the american electorate will be thinking, "how will he be in three years' time, halfway through his second term?" and you can see how much different a figure he is now from thejoe biden even of 2020, let alone back in 2008, 2016 when he was obama's vice president. age catches up with all of us, but it takes a particular toll on those in the oval office. we've seen it with previous residence, and they won't...

there are further developments, but those are the latest details and pictures were from west london. we'll have the weather here in a moment, ijust want we'll have the weather here in a moment, i just want to tell you what we have coming up because, as well as all of those news stories, we have course have the massive build—up to sunday, so here on the programme we will be getting all the latest from the euros — here we go with some of the training — but it's been amazing this afternoon, we had that england press conference with ali watkins, a huge smile still on his face as he talked about that moment, that goal — this goal, there it goes — you never tire of seeing it goes — you never tire of seeing it taking england from the semifinals to the finals, playing spain on saturday. so we will get more from the england camp, talk to ourfans and more from the england camp, talk to our fans and correspondents more from the england camp, talk to ourfans and correspondents in germany, getting the latest from our sports teams in salford will stop smiles there from gareth southgate — can he continue and take it into saturday? we will have plenty more

developing more of a north easterly wind as we had through saturday, so more of those showers coming on shore, even more through the day on sunday too, but it's cloudy towards eastern areas — the best of the sunshine will tend to be across southern england into wales, the western highlands, northwest england and also mixing some sunshine. watch out for showers that will develop, melting away into the evening. temperatures again disappointingly low, 14—19 c. on sunday, low—pressure remains out in the north sea, we will see more showers across northern england, down through southeastern scotland. more in the way of sunshine for the west again across western scotland, down through england and wales, and we will see some higher temperatures too. any showers and cloud should melt away into the evening to leave us with a dry and fine into the day. further east in germany for the euros final on sunday evening, it's looking dry with thunderstorms at the moment, but it will be drying

out, temperatures generally in the low to mid 20s. as we head through the start of next week, it's not too long before we see our next area of low pressure drifting in from the southwest, but because we are drawing in a south westerly wind, then the air will turn a little bit warmer, so temperatures will be rising — here's the outlook for the capital city. still unsettled with showers and spells of rain, but drierfor most, bye—bye. this is bbc news. the headlines... police search a house in west london as the focus into human remains found in two suitcases in bristol shifts to the capital. the man who plotted to kidnap, rape and murder tv presenter holly willoughby is sentenced to life in prison. the justice secretary says plans to release thousands of inmates early are "the only way to avert disaster"

appearance. he says he is ready to play his part-— play his part. i have full belief in m self, i play his part. i have full belief in myself. i knew _ play his part. i have full belief in myself, i knew i _ play his part. i have full belief in myself, i knew i was _ play his part. i have full belief in myself, i knew i was going i play his part. i have full belief in myself, i knew i was going to i play his part. i have full belief in i myself, i knew i was going to score. i manifested it, i had worked very hard to get to the point. it has been an amazing feeling, but i'm not shocked. i've got that fire in my belly, ready when i'm called upon. hopefully i get the call to come onto the pitch again and then hopefully i can produce. wimbledon has continued _ hopefully i can produce. wimbledon has continued outpace _ hopefully i can produce. wimbledon has continued outpace in _ has continued outpace in sun—drenched conditions. alcaraz is through to the final, we can head live to wimbledon. what else has happened there?— live to wimbledon. what else has happened there? alcaraz is through to back-to-back _ happened there? alcaraz is through to back-to-back wimbledon - happened there? alcaraz is through to back-to-back wimbledon finals i happened there? alcaraz is through i to back-to-back wimbledon finals for to back—to—back wimbledon finals for him. the player he beat last year at this stage, he played really well in the first to get to the stage. he was one point of disorder at the end

of the first set, he was up, wasn't happy with the umpire's decision add said something to the umpire. we have the referee come out. someone could have been fined, he wasn't. alcaraz, he rallied, came back and when the next three, the winning moment for him, for the three—time grand slam champion. for the man who is trying to win back—to—back titles at the age of 21. he won four of his previous six against medvedev, and this web the same way. he sealed his place in the final. who will he be playing? it's been decided on centre court, and let's take you there because novak is up against musetti. the italian, he's got work to do because he's been broken and novak djokovic is trying to get a 5—2

lead. he is chasing a record equalling eighth wimbledon singles title and he is 5—2 up in the first set. looking good for novak djokovic and a potential repeat of last year. one more line, alfie hewitt trying to win his first title and he is through to the final. he recovered from a set and a breakdown to be the world number three gustavo fernandez. seeing what it meant to alfie, a battle, two hours and 41 minutes it took. alfie through to his third consecutive wimbledon final. he's lost the last two, can he make it third time lucky? fingers crossed that he can. i will have much more from wimbledon at 630. back to you. brilliant as always. it has been the end of an area as record test wicket takerjames

anderson brought the curtain down on his england career. his final test lasted barely three days as see in his team—mate swept the west indies side winning the first test by an innings and 114 runs, asjoel wilson reports. whenjoshua da silva of west indies becamejames anderson's 704th wicket, he experienced the same feeling as many before. leaning forward, taking his outside edge, caught and gone. sadly, because of the weakness in the west indies batting, there was no tension about the outcome. the jeopardy was whetherjames anderson could take the final wicket with his final act in cricket. he should have done, put down a simple chance. it is right at least some of the attention will be shared by gus atkinson, who took the final wicket, took 12 in the match on his debut. he is the kind of bowler england think will help them

win back the ashes. in these kind of conditions against inexperienced butters, james anderson is still at the top of his game. almost at the age of 42. as he finishes his career, and i think making the contribution will give him the most satisfaction. there is almost a unique sense of gratitude here, not just for whatjames unique sense of gratitude here, not just for what james anderson unique sense of gratitude here, not just for whatjames anderson has just for what james anderson has done just for whatjames anderson has done for england, but what is profile, his ongoing career has done for this whole business of test match cricket. he is some athlete, we will have more and everything including the football at 630. join us then. thank you very much. on the football line from kensington palace, confirming the prince of wales will attend those finals in germany on sunday. more in a moment on that. let's turn to the middle east. palestinian sources close to

the garda ceasefire negotiations have told the bbc the latest round of talks have ended without agreement. american and egyptian mediators have tried to strike a deal between hamas and israel which would see a break in the fighting and the release of israeli hostages. our gaza correspondent is in istanbul and has the latest. i think in about two hours ago, the israeli delegation in cairo has left without a result. what we have heard from the senior official, himself involved in the talks in both cairo and loja. he said it has ended, the israeli delegation left without any result. once again, talks failed to put an end to more than nine months of fighting in gaza. what is not clear yet is what is the sticking point and we knew hamas said before

the talks that they dropped this precondition, the permanent ceasefire condition that has been in place for a long time. but it doesn't seem this also held, but is a lot of accusation. what this senior source is quoting hamas, he has said benjamin netanyahu is to be blamed for the failure. he told me israel doesn't want this to go and hamas was soft in its positions and give many concessions. it is the israeli side, we haven't heard from them about this, but we are told by them about this, but we are told by the senior official that it ended without result. thejustice secretary shabana mahmood has announced plans for thousands of prisoners to be released early, as the government attempts to prevent a "collapse"

of the prison system. prisoners on "standard determinate sentences" will be released after serving 40% of their sentences, rather than half. the change is expected to come into force in september and violent and sexual offenders will not be eligible. speaking this week in washington, prime minister sir keir starmer had said the situation in prisons "is worse than i thought it was". the prison governer�*s association recently described the justice system as on the "brink of collapse" with prisons "running out of space". let's speak to greg smith. in january, michael gove gave the all clear for a january, michael gove gave the all clearfor a new january, michael gove gave the all clear for a new category super prison to be built in his constituency, housing 1500 inmates. welcome to the programme. i will come to that in a moment, but a broader thought first of all of what the justice secretary broader thought first of all of what thejustice secretary has announced today. i the justice secretary has announced toda . ., �* ~' the justice secretary has announced toda . ., �* ~ ., the justice secretary has announced toda. ., �* ~ today. i don't think labour can tretend today. i don't think labour can pretend this —

today. i don't think labour can pretend this as _ today. i don't think labour can pretend this as anything i today. i don't think labour can pretend this as anything other| today. i don't think labour can i pretend this as anything other than something they would naturally do. they spent the last parliament voting against every legislation that would deliver longer sentences that would deliver longer sentences that the last government passed. it's a bit rich for them to stop to say well they don't want it, when it is what they spent the last parliament voting for. i’m is what they spent the last parliament voting for. i'm puzzled ou sa parliament voting for. i'm puzzled you say about _ parliament voting for. i'm puzzled you say about because _ parliament voting for. i'm puzzled you say about because your i parliament voting for. i'm puzzled you say about because your own l you say about because your own conservative party, alex chalk confirmed it to bbc radio, were considering a similar thing. it didn't happen because rishi sunak overruled it. isn't that the truth that both parties were facing a similar thing with numbers in prison and the amount of available places? yes, it is, that's a fair point. it is something we have to get right going into the future. my main political point is that labour kept voting against longer sentences. by definition, they want shorter ones. what we've got to focus on is making sure we can deliver those longer

sentences, make sure those that have done wrong in our society served their time in prison. you can only do that by building prisons where it actually makes sense to do so and where you can actually stuff them. if you look at the existing present in my area, in buckinghamshire and up in my area, in buckinghamshire and up towards milton keynes, prisons like woodhill are understaffed, they can't recruit to the prison officer vacancies they have. why under would you build a brand—new mega prison somewhere where you can't recruit staff? i somewhere where you can't recruit staff? . ., somewhere where you can't recruit staff? _, . ~ ., ., somewhere where you can't recruit staff? ., ., , staff? i will come back to that, but ou made staff? i will come back to that, but you made the _ staff? i will come back to that, but you made the point _ staff? i will come back to that, but you made the point about - staff? i will come back to that, but you made the point about labour l you made the point about labour wanting shorter sentences. do you think that all of the people in prison, there should be no review about the types of people being sent to prison, even rory stewart, a prisons minister, he was talking on the radio this morning about the types of people who are incarcerated. isn't there a case, a need for a review of who we sent to

prison and for what? {lit need for a review of who we sent to prison and for what?— need for a review of who we sent to prison and for what? of course there is alwa s a prison and for what? of course there is always a need _ prison and for what? of course there is always a need for— prison and for what? of course there is always a need for constant - is always a need for constant review. i refuse to accept you can't ever improve something, make it better. of course you can. at the end of the day, there are violent prisoners in their ad labour will say they won't release those. but other criminals, people found guilty in a court who are in prison, if you do need to be serving their time, and it is imperative the ministry of justice going forward, which they haven't always been good at, through my own government included, need to focus on building prisons where it will work. �* , , focus on building prisons where it willwork. �* , , , ., will work. building prisons but not in my back — will work. building prisons but not in my back yard. _ will work. building prisons but not in my back yard, effectively, - will work. building prisons but not in my back yard, effectively, is - in my back yard, effectively, is what you are saying. you have resisted... that was your idea to build it in your area and you are dead set against it. isn't that classic nimby behaviour? flat dead set against it. isn't that classic nimby behaviour? not at all, it is practicality _ classic nimby behaviour? not at all, it is practicality. as _ classic nimby behaviour? not at all, it is practicality. as i _ classic nimby behaviour? not at all, it is practicality. as i have _ classic nimby behaviour? not at all, it is practicality. as i have said, - it is practicality. as i have said,

they can't recruit until the vacancies in the existing prisons are filled. it is crazy to suggest i by building a new prison requiring thousand staff they will magic those rolls up. if you can't already recruit, don't think building another one will be any different. in buckinghamshire, the communities and the villages around where they pose this new prison are already being devastated by the construction of hs2. the endless road closures, the farms being cut into. this year misread these people are facing. it is just a matter of chaos to plunk another one in the middle —— this a i7—year—old boy has been arrested

on suspicion of attempted murder after two women were injured at a gurdwara in kent. police were called to the sikh place of worship in gravesend yesterday evening. the teenager is also being held on suspicion of a religiously aggrevated public order offence. a bladed weapon has been recovered from the scene. our reporter anisa kadri is at the gurdwara. you are watching bbc news. let's turn for the _ you are watching bbc news. let's turn for the next _ you are watching bbc news. let's turn for the next little _ you are watching bbc news. let's turn for the next little while back to the euros. all eyes on england as they take on spain in the finals in berlin. aston villa's ollie watkins was the hero of the semi final with that last minute goal he's been talking in the last hour at an england news conference. have a listen. it's been an unbelievable feeling, to be honest. born i was taken back by the goal, but also i wasn't shocked i did that because i have for belief in myself so i knew i was going to score, i manifested it, i

had worked hard. it has been an amazing feeling but i'm not shocked. he said he manifested the goal, he knew he was going to come on and score. let's speak to nigel whittle a dedicated fan who will be heading to watch the game in person on sunday. i was going to ask you, do you have tickets for sunday? i i was going to ask you, do you have tickets for sunday?— tickets for sunday? i do, i'm one of the lucky ones- _ tickets for sunday? i do, i'm one of the lucky ones. we _ tickets for sunday? i do, i'm one of the lucky ones. we have _ tickets for sunday? i do, i'm one of the lucky ones. we have the - tickets for sunday? i do, i'm one of the lucky ones. we have the ticket | the lucky ones. we have the ticket for the game so we are heading to berlin first thing in the morning. good forward planning. you were at the game come the semifinal, you saw that moment, that goal. what was that moment, that goal. what was that like? i that moment, that goal. what was that like? ., ., ., , that like? i have to say it was the most incredible _ that like? i have to say it was the most incredible moment - that like? i have to say it was the most incredible moment i've - most incredible moment i've experience at a football match. i've been to many over the years and i was lucky enough to be at the last euros against denmark and the final against italy. i always said the denmark game was probably the most

incredible experience i've ever had. but this one definitely surpassed it. ithink but this one definitely surpassed it. i think being in a foreign country, it wasjust it. i think being in a foreign country, it was just breathtaking. no one expected it in the 90th minute, so it was incredible. tell me about the _ minute, so it was incredible. tell me about the journey you had in this tournament because it was hard going watching those early games, the group stages, the first knockout game. what was it like to be following england with such thin rule in those early weeks? i guess my answer— rule in those early weeks? i guess my answer may — rule in those early weeks? i guess my answer may surprise _ rule in those early weeks? i guess my answer may surprise you - rule in those early weeks? i guess i my answer may surprise you because i'm one of the few that believed in the process. i trusted the process. i've always supported the way gareth has gone in his business, he has dignity and respect for our country. i think he had a focus on the groups. he had a plan to make sure we finish top. whilst the performances weren't great and there were a lot of supporters not happy, i always felt confident if we finish

top would start to improve as we went into the knockout groups. i was one of the few probably who stood by him. i generally believe the plan was there, the process was there, we had a lot of players with niggles and injuries. as the four weeks has developed they have gradually got into a better and stronger position. i think we are hitting form just at the right time. it i think we are hitting form 'ust at the right timefi the right time. it really has developed- _ the right time. it really has developed. you _ the right time. it really has developed. you see - the right time. it really has developed. you see as - the right time. it really has developed. you see as a i the right time. it really has - developed. you see as a squad, and ollie watkins was talking about the strength of the squad with people not playing saying it was the best moment of their career watching the goal going in. it was interesting. they are playing better, the manager seems to be more flexible, a bit bolder with his substitutions, so things are coming together. what things are coming together. what would it mean _ things are coming together. what would it mean to _ things are coming together. what would it mean to you _ things are coming together. what would it mean to you if— things are coming together. wusgt would it mean to you if they do it on sunday? i have posted a few things on what subgroups and funds forums. me personally, i want

nothing more than for gareth because i think the way he's been treated both from a positive and negative over the years, and he's had it are. in his last interview he said we all want to be loved. my call—out in his last interview he said we all want to beloved. my call—out for all english fans, win or lose, the one thing you can remember is he will give everything. he wants to do it for england so much, and i really want to win for him more than anyone. i would love it for me and all my friends and family, but i really want to win for gareth because he deserves it more than anyone. i am because he deserves it more than anyone. iam really because he deserves it more than anyone. i am really hopeful. because he deserves it more than anyone. iam really hopeful. i because he deserves it more than anyone. i am really hopeful. i am relatively confident as well. i think we've got what it takes to win on sunday. think we've got what it takes to win on sunda . ., ., ., ~ ., on sunday. nigel, great to talk to ou. on sunday. nigel, great to talk to you- good — on sunday. nigel, great to talk to you. good look _ on sunday. nigel, great to talk to you. good look with _ on sunday. nigel, great to talk to you. good look with the _ on sunday. nigel, great to talk to you. good look with the journey l on sunday. nigel, great to talk to i you. good look with the journey and the very best of luck come sunday and that final. let's talk now to arlene foster in the berlin. you've
