is had no nerves from the spot. that is the coach tom luis enrique, who had joked before the game that they could score six. translation: joked before the game that they could score six. translatiosz joked before the game that they could score six. translation: it was a difficult night to describe with words. it had a spectacular ending in the nou camp. the ability of sport to amaze has been proved many times. it was true of ian botham's ashes in the 80s, rory mcilroy winning five years ago. barcelona won no trophy last night, just a match and a place in the record books, but don't tell them that's not worth shouting about. let's ta ke let's take a look at the weather. here is a nice picture from

cambridgeshire. a very different story off the tip of cornwall, look at that. land ‘s end looks like the end of the world — grey skies, very gloomy. it is reallyjust the south—west where we have the cloud. the rest of us are enjoying this beautiful spring weather. it is quite warm as well, temperatures already getting up to 17 celsius in london. for most of us, typically around io—isdc. it is sunny, but there is a bit of a breeze, so it feels a bit on the cool side, a bit fresh in one or two mac places. ii celsius in sheffield. there is that warm spot, as it often is, in london, 15 celsius, then we swing down to the tip of cornwall, to where the pirates are. this cloud

stretches from the channel islands into cornwall, stall for the day, then later on in the evening, the clouds roll in the atlantic and bring some damp weather, relatively mild to, —— relatively mild, to western parts. eastern areas will be free of club at chile. tomorrow, mist and drizzle rolling in, nothing like what we have got today. thicker cloud tomorrow. in one or two locations, the client will break, so you will get a little bit of brightness. the temperatures are lower. at the weekend, the weather fronts line—up in the atlantic. there is a whole trail of them, and that will introduce some fresh air. things will cool off a little bit will stop at least across some of these northern and western areas. saturday, some spots of rain across the north, temperatures in the low

teens, 12—13dc. sunday, it looks like some of that rainbow push across more southern areas as like some of that rainbow push across more southern areas as well, so across more southern areas as well, soa across more southern areas as well, so a bit ofa across more southern areas as well, so a bit of a mixture this weekend. in the south this weekend, particularly saturday, if the clouds do break, you could see 17 celsius. in summary, some sunny spells, rain at times, and turning a little bit cooler. not bad. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me. and on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello, i have the latest sports news for you. england are looking to make it four wins out of four in the six nations. our reporter chris jones it four wins out of four in the six nations. our reporter chrisjones is at the training base. is there reason for eddie jones

at the training base. is there reason for eddiejones to be concerned? it is quite hard to say. i have just concerned? it is quite hard to say. i havejust come concerned? it is quite hard to say. i have just come of a rather bizarre eddiejones press i have just come of a rather bizarre eddie jones press conference. i have just come of a rather bizarre eddiejones press conference. one of their players left with the leg injury. jones joked their players left with the leg injury. jonesjoked that their players left with the leg injury. jones joked that owen farrell had tripped over eddie jones' dog. i think we can be confident that owen farrell will be okayed to start at inside centre. a key player for england who will need to be at their best for a resurgent scotla nd to be at their best for a resurgent scotland on saturday. one change for scotla nd scotland on saturday. one change for scotland and three for england. billy vunipola is on the bench. i think if he tripped over a dog it would be dead. he is from an incredibly powerful replacements bench which includes anthony watson and ben te'o as well. he will start on the bench. three changes for england. ben youngs turns at scrum—half, jonathan joseph in the

centre and jack nowell on the wing as well. scotland have made one change and that is hamish watson starting on the open side flanker. watson was outstanding in the victory over the welsh at murrayfield and he has been rewarded with a start in the number seven shirt. thank you. arsenal manager arsene wenger says he will consider the opinion of fans when he decides on his future at the club, although it is not the most important factor. talking to the media today wenger said he had not made his mind up and certainly had not told the players of his plans. unrest is growing among arsenal supporters following a dismal run in the premier league. among arsenal supporters following a dismal run in the premier leaguelj worked very hard for 20 years to make our fans happy worked very hard for 20 years to make ourfans happy and when worked very hard for 20 years to make our fans happy and when you lose a game, i understand they are not, and i don't want tojudge lose a game, i understand they are not, and i don't want to judge that.

iam not not, and i don't want to judge that. i am not capable, to, not, and i don't want to judge that. iam not capable, to, i live not, and i don't want to judge that. i am not capable, to, i live in my daily work with my complete commitment. after that, i have said many times you have to accept different opinions. many have labelled it the greatest sporting comeback in recent times. barcelona overturned a 4—0 deficit over paris saint—germain. they were still trailing 5—3 overall with seven minutes to go when neymar scored this free kick. he then scored this free kick. he then scored again from the spot before this, sergei roberto winning it for barcelona. they go through to the quarterfinals for the tenth year on a row. and heather watson and johanna konta will play each other for the first time on the wta tour when they meet in the second round at indian wells in california. watson beat the american nicole gibbs. konta will be the strong favourite at number 11 in the world.

watson has dropped down to 108 this week. and players under way in england's third and final one—day international in the west indies. england are at without loss. —— eight. there is live text commentary on the bbc sport website. i will be back with more later. thank you. i am simon mccoy. more now on the news that the chancellor is coming under fire for his planned changes to national insurance contributions for the self—employed. a short time ago my colleague annita mcveigh spoke to simon parkman. many businesses employ apprentices who are the backbone of our economy. how precisely are you going to do that? we already have the channels open. there are a number of conservative mps discussing this in the party and

i believe philip is a great chancellor and he will be able to see sense and do it quickly. dealings there is any political leveraged in the situation regarding the government wanting unity on the brexit article 50 vote? no, i think is conservative members of parliament we look at each bill as it comes in front of a separately, so it comes in front of a separately, soi it comes in front of a separately, so i don't think anything transfers across. my problem with this issue is simply send a wrong message out to the families who have gone out there, who have taken a risk, who have employed those apprentices. we have done for the last seven years, we have done a greatjob in terms of employment and supporting businesses, we havejust got to keep pushing it through. and you can send us your questions about the budget — and how it affects you — we'll put them to two personal

finance experts at half past three this afternoon. you can text 611211, email askthis@bbc. co. uk and tweet using the hashtag bbcaskthis. a man in australia who allegedly impersonated the singer justin bieber to solicit indecent images of children has been charged with more than nine—hundred child sex offences. the 42—year—old from queensland is alleged to have used social media to communicate with children. our correspondent in sydney, hywell griffith, gave us more details a short while ago. we understand the charges go back two years to 2007. he was caught in an international operation with police in america and he was tracked back to queensland here in australia. they suggest what he was doing was going online posing as justin bieber and soliciting indecent images from children which is abusing their trust. and the scale of it, the police say, is really quite horrific. the scale of it is incredible. they

have been charged with 900 offences and those are on top of the ones he was charged with back in november. joining me now from central london is emily cherry who is head of young people at the nspcc. good afternoon to you. good afternoon. it is the scale of this which is quite alarming. this displays the ease of access that predatory paedophiles can have on the internet. that is why it is vital that parents get out there and have regular and early conversations with young people so they can understand the text they are using and how to use it safely. the issue of safeguarding is one that we are talking about constantly these days. is there anything that could be done to stop it happening before it

happens, if you like? certainly we would be expecting parents to have conversations. if you don't know where to start then go to the nspcc website. we would also like the internet industry to do more. there are more safeguards they could put in place and put child safety at the heart of every internet app, game and site that children are using. why is it that children are more prone to a celebrity like this than they were two others? whilst we cannot comment specifically on the case is that we know predatory paedophiles will use a range of ways to gain the trust and we know from calls to childline that it is really difficult for children to recognise the signs of grooming behaviour so if there are any parents worried, please come to the nspcc helpline and we have some great resources which will help children understand what is not ok on social media. the difficulty is, as any parent knows, the trust that a child needs to have in the parent to let them anywhere near one of their devices. they do protect them. of course children love to use the internet and it can

bea love to use the internet and it can be a safe way to do it, but having those regular and early conversations, and constantly getting alongside your child and interested in what they are doing online will help you have a much more open and honest relationship, and particularly parents out there, tell your children about childline. if there is something they cannot talk to you about, you can come to us and we will give advice and support. thank you. the queen has unveiled a memorial in london in honour of all those from the uk who served in iraq and afghanistan between 1990 and 2015. the monument — on the banks of the thames — is dedicated to civilians as well as servicemen and women. before the unveiling, a special service took place in horse guards parade. live to ben brown who's been following events for us. thank you. yes, we are right in front of the iraq afghanistan memorial here. it is a beautiful

sunny afternoon. you can see here some servicemen and women, past and present, having a look at the memorial which hasjust present, having a look at the memorial which has just been unveiled by the queen. it is really two half, two stone monoliths. one representing iraq, the other afghanistan. in the middle a bronze plate with a picture of troops in action on afghanistan on one side and on the other side is civilians. this is a memorial very much to remember those who served in the military in iraq and afghanistan but also civilians. aid workers, humanitarian workers, people involved in the reconstruction work. iam going involved in the reconstruction work. i am going to talk to one of those people right now. that is wendy phillips from the department for international development. you have just flown in from afghanistan where you are working. you have worked there for many years in afghanistan andi there for many years in afghanistan and i was saying that this is about recognising the work that people like you have done as well as the military? yes, i think it is really

important. it's not just military? yes, i think it is really important. it's notjust government departments, it is also contractors and others who have in afghanistan as well as the military in support of each other in the reconstruction effort and helping the country move forward. i think it is three tours you have worked on in afghanistan. you must have grown very close to that country and its people? yes. i withdrew from opposed to go to sierra leone in 2005 to go back to afghanistan and work alongside the military before being deployed into helmand. it is important to me and... and how do you see the future of afghanistan and... and how do you see the future of afg ha nista n after and... and how do you see the future of afghanistan after so many years of afghanistan after so many years of terrible conflict that? change is happening. it is incremental. the government is moving forwards. there isa government is moving forwards. there is a lot of good work that is going

on. we have a lot more women and children in schools. but it is never going to be solved overnight. it is something that we will continue to work on as a team to make sure the games we have worked with with the government are solidified and continue. and of course afghanistan and iraq are both politically controversial as conflicts the british military took part in, but ina british military took part in, but in a sense your work that has continued anyway, it doesn't really matter to you how divisive it's been? afghanistan is important. we need stability in the region. it's across hmg including military effort in afghanistan. it's important to us to continue the work there. yes, it's controversial, some people don't like it, but actually, it's a

commitment we've made and we will continue to get the games, keep the games we've got and keep afghanistan moving forward. wendy, thank you for being with us. wendy phillips from the department for international development, one of the hundreds of thousands of people who have been recognised, civilian and military in iraq and afghanistan. if you have another look at this monument you can see the rough edge of the monument by the sculptor paul day who has created it. he was saying pa rt who has created it. he was saying part of the reason for that rough rock on the side is to show that both afghanistan and iraq were divisive in this country, but they are also in some ways unfinished conflicts. they have not come to a neat closure and that is what he was trying to represent in this memorial, as well as to show british troops in action on one side and the civilian aid workers on the other side. that is the latest from here,

the scene of the newly unveiled iraq afghanistan memorial. simon, back to you. thank you. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon has said a common—sense time for a referendum would be next autumn. she made her remarks to laura kuenssberg. in westminster, some politicians think you're bluffing about holding a referendum. i'm not and i never have been. i always think that sometimes kind of says more about them than it does about me because it suggests that there are politicians in westminster who think brexit and all of this is some kind of game. it's not a game, it's really, really serious and the implications for the uk are serious and the indications for scotland are serious. some of your colleagues talk about autumn 2018 as a likely date. within that window, as the outline of a uk deal becomes clear, and the uk exiting the eu i think

would be the common sense time for scotland to have that choice if that is the road we choose to go down. just to be clear, you're not ruling out autumn 2018? i'm not ruling out anything, no. you can see more of that interview tonight on bbc two at nine o'clock. it will also be available on the iplayer shortly afterwards. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first — the headlines on bbc news: the chancellor has promised to listen to conservative backbenchers' concerns about changes to national insurance contributions for the self—employed. the health secretary says it's essential that a&e departments in england hit their target for waiting times. the queen has unveiled a new war memorial in london to honour the british personnel who have served in iraq and afghanistan. i'm egon cossou with your money update this hour. results from the co—op bank show it

lost £477 million last year. believe it or not, that's actually an improvement on the year before, when it lost £610 million. it blamed the latest loss on low interest rates and the cost of buying the britannia building society. good news for morrisons. it's seen its profits jump by around 11.5%. it made £337 million last year — if you strip out one off costs. that's the first rise in profits for five years. it's now the fastest growing top four supermarket chain. workers at the john lewis partnership have been hit in the pocket by what the company is calling "market uncertainty". staff there get an annual bonus — depending on how well the company is doing. this year the bonus will be 6% of their salary — which is down from 10% last year. bonuses have fallen for the last four years. let's head to america now — where stock markets have been on the rise for eight years now.

the big question is — why? samira hussain has the all the answers for us, and shejoins me now from the new york stock exchange. hi, how you? good, how are you? why have we seen eight years of growth in the stock market? you may have noticed i was just talking to one of my colleagues here to get the lowdown on what traders are thinking here. if you just look at it, you think about what happened here eight yea rs think about what happened here eight years ago, we had the financial crisis and stock markets plummeted. since then, that have been a lot of things that have happened. we saw the federal reserve has injected a lot of. some of that is still in existence. but remember the bond buying programme we used to talk about all the time? that was in place to help the economy recover to really build on growth. as a result, there was a lot more money around

and people were investing it in the stock market, investing it in companies. what is really interesting is this bull market has lasted, even though in 2016, if you look at company earnings, they were not that great. but still, this bull market has persisted and part of the reason is because the economy is recovering. the job reason is because the economy is recovering. thejob market is recovering. thejob market is recovering but also, some of that stimulus, the ultralow interest rates continue to persist. is donald trump part of this as well? that is an interesting part of the story. in the last eight years we have seen there is a change in administration. that means there will be a change in fiscal policy. as a result of donald trump of my collection, we are seeing that companies are feeling a lot more optimistic. —— as a result of donald trump's election. there seems to be more of a corporate, business friendly administration. as

a result, that is really going to have an impact on the economy and right here on the new york stock exchange. so there are not that many people who believe that we are going to see this bull market end. the stock market doesn't really say, oh, it has been eight years, we have to crash now. that said, there are some people who think the market is still pretty hot and needs a 10% revaluation, correction. pretty hot and needs a 10% revaluation, correctionlj pretty hot and needs a 10% revaluation, correction. i knew you would know all the answers. thank you. it's a case of good news, bad news for some staff at tesco. the good news is they'll be getting a bit extra in their pay—packet. the bad is, that's because they'd been underpaid in the first place — thanks to a glitch in the payroll system. the company says it will make up the payments by the end of the month — with most workers getting around £40. not such a great day for the boss of samsung. he's standing trial in south korea on corruption charges. it's part of a scandal which has seen the president of the country impeached. samsung is south korea's biggest company — and the case has been called the trial of the century.

lego is more popular than ever, with the company reporting record sales. last year it sold more than £4.5 billion worth of building blocks — to kids and adults alike. that's up by more than six per cent on the previous year. let's have a look at how the european markets are doing. it's been pretty subdued on the ftse. strangely morrisons has been a part of that — despite posting its first profit in five years. its shares actually fell around four per cent after it said that rising import costs could mean uncertainty in the future. it's also pretty flat across much of europe. energy companies have been losing ground — that's because new figures show that oil reserves in america are increasing. that's led to fears of another glut in supply. that is all the business news for this hour. i'll be back in another hour. thank you very much. thank you very

much. according to newly declassified files seen by bbc news, margaret thatcher's government feared a "witch hunt" if a public inquiry was held into the policing of the 1984 miners‘ strike. the recently released material — which was classified for more than 30 years — show home secretary leon brittan wanted to discourage "any form of enquiry" into the actions of the police. david rhodes has the story. campaigners say mrs thatcher's government ordered military—style planning in the days running up to the battle of orgreave, at the height of the miners‘ strike in 1984, which ended in baton beatings by the police. the latest release of home office files show no such planning, but they do make clear the government was in no mood to order an enquiry of police behaviour. the home secretary was of the view not to encourage any form of public enquiry into the conduct of police

during the miners‘ dispute. for these miners who were at the battle of orgreave, the tone of the document comes as no surprise. the suspicion is never going to go away that this was orchestrated right from 10 downing street, to defeat the miners and to use the police as a battering ram. i have concluded that there is no case... last october, home secretary amber rudd rejected calls for a full enquiry into orgreave in south yorkshire, home of the same force that were involved in the hillsborough disaster five years later. the home office says there‘s nothing to gain from reviewing what happened over 30 years ago, but these former miners say they won‘t stop pressing for a full investigation. malta‘s famous rock arch, which has featured in a number of films and the tv series game of thrones, has collapsed into the sea. the azure window, on gozo, was damaged by heavy storms. the prime ministerjoseph muscat said it was heart—breaking. a study of the arch in 2013 said it was eroding but wasn‘t in imminent danger. a dodgy forecast. now let‘s get the

weather with tomasz schafernaker. excuse me?! simon, it is never a dull moment with you. it is a moment at the moment in cornwall. we have low cloud, mist and drizzle in places. for the rest of the uk it is a lovely afternoon. temperatures have got up to 17 degrees. the highest so far this year which was the 20th of february. that was 18.2. we will not make 18.2. we will not get anywhere near that across most of the uk. it is reallyjust the south and south—east that we will get the mid—teens. it has peaked at 17 outside of london. there is

cornwall and the gloomy, mystique, murky trail of weather which affects the channel islands as well. what is going to happen tonight, a couple of things. we have the clear skies across eastern areas. this is where the temperatures will dip away. clouds at the same time we‘ll be rolling off the atlantic. that means drizzle, damp and relatively mild across the west here. even a bit of rain getting into the western isles of scotland. we are mostly talking about dribs and drabs by the early morning. overall tomorrow for most of us it will be a lot cloudier than today. none of the blue skies we have got right now. temperatures as a result will be lower. here is the weekend. no pressures and weather fronts sleeping off the atlantic. they are also going to introduce this cooler, north atlantic air. it will not be that cool. it will be

fresher. there will be some rain in the forecast then it turns brighter in scotland and northern ireland. then sunday, we have bands of rain crossing the uk. the greatest chance of catching a little bit of rain during the course of the weekend is on sunday. here is a summary. some sunny spells, rain at times and it will turn just that little bit cooler. so, if you can let‘s enjoy some of the sunshine out there right now. this is bbc news. i‘m simon mccoy. the headlines at 2pm. the chancellor defends rising national insurance on the self—employed — as he says the government is facing new spending challenges. this is not the time to do it, when

consumer spending isjust this is not the time to do it, when consumer spending is just getting and the front line of the effect of that will be sole traders, the self—employed. jeremy hunt says the nhs has to reach its target for waiting times —— now that health and social care is being given an extra two billion pounds and i‘m maxine mawhinney. remembering those who served in
