waking up to the fact that the coin—operated lockers will no longer operate. the treasury admits this is a major and that the long—term benefits of the new pound coin are worth the short term cost. tim moffat, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's phil avery. where is that field? what field? very good afternoon. we will move on swiftly. at least a little bit down the road a farmer could see which direction to point his tractor, and there were no issues further to the west, it's been a glorious spell gci’oss west, it's been a glorious spell across the western side of cornwall. widely across scotland, northern ireland, southern counties of england, glorious. temperatures beginning to respond to sunshine as well. if you are trapped underneath the layer of low cloud with an onshore breeze as well then the temperatures really are struggling.

it was that way at the weekend. when you have the sunshine it was fairly chill around eastern shores. nine, ten, 11, i2. chill around eastern shores. nine, ten, 11, 12. well on into the mid—teens, possibly a 19 somewhere but time will tell. through the evening and overnight the low cloud becomes quite extensive yet again. and there will be some fog. word to the wise, you may not necessarily find that in the same place as was the case last night. notjust as cold for some reason, four to eight will cover it for many. off and running into tuesday and a heads up, doesn't look like much but this is the first signs of change that will really co m e the first signs of change that will really come into play as we get on into the middle part of the week. a lot of dry weather around. watch out. first up. showery burst in wales and part of the south—west in the first part of the day. elsewhere they dry start. not overly warm but five, six, seven, england and scotland. enough clout across the

north—east of the mainland ‘s. the odd bit of drizzle but nothing to write home about here. as we get onto the day, the chance of something a little bit wetter than you've been used to over the past few days falling from the skies just increases. gradually pushing out of the south—west and wales up through northern ireland. some sharp showers come the afternoon with some heat coming through, this band of whether getting into the borders. many into double figures. only the north—eastern corner of scotland still has that sort of cool something out of the east about it with breeze. that's the first signs of this predominance of the low pressure easing away the weekend's hi. coming a long way from the south. if you get a wee bit of sunshine, temperatures still popping away. got a dry start but it will not stay that way but if you do get some sunshine even into the second half of the week, temperatures could be soaring. thank you. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. theresa may meets nicola sturgeon

for the first time since the snp announced their proposals for a second independence referendum. that's all from the bbc news at one, goodbye from me on bbc one we now join the new schemes where you are, good hello there, you are watching bbc news. the fans are voting with their feet at hampden. the manager healed the performance, the goal came in the 88th minute. they arejust performance, the goal came in the 88th minute. they are just two points of second place. everyone who

"russia and get a victory as well with every game you get closer to reality. it's been a brilliant day for india in the fourth and final test against australia in dharamsala. they should win the series tomorrow. they need just another 87 runs with all their second innings wickets intact. it was an action packed 3rd day with india resuming theirfirst innings. they built a lead thanks to some big hitting from ravindra jadeja. he made a brisk 63 australia then collapsed in their second innings. india bowling them out in sa overs, skipper steve smith — such a vital wicket — went for 17. the last four went for 16 runs, australia all out for 137. india came back into bat and closed on i9—without loss. victory would see them win the sereis 2—1 former champion ding junhui hasn't had the best of starts on the first day of the china open in beijing. he was docked a frame in his opening match against sean o'sullivan

for turning up late. world champion mark selby managed to arrive on time for his opening match — but he has lost the opening frame to the pole adam stefanow — it's the first to 5. andy murray is unlikely to be fit for the davis cup tie against france a week on friday. his brotherjamie, has revealed that the world number one has a tear in his elbow and needs rest. we already knew about the injury but not the severity, murray had already pulled out of a tournament in the us with the problem and had hoped to return for the start of the clay court season in about 3 weeks time ellie downie finished with three gold medals at the british gymnastics championships in liverpool the 17 year old had already won the all—around title but also came out on top in the vault and she won on the bars as well after her older sister becky fell. that's all sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. and i'll have more in the next hour.

thank you very much indeed. theresa may has said that leaving the european union is an opportunity to strengthen the ties between nations in the united kingdom. she's been giving a speech to civil servants at the department for international development in east kilbride, before meeting scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, later this afternoon. when this great union of nations, england, scotland, wales and northern ireland sets its mind on something and works together with determination, we are an unstoppable force. that's why the plan for britain i've set out, the plan to get the right deal for britain abroad as well as a better deal for ordinary working people at home has it at its heart one overarching goal, to build a more united nation. i believe if we work together that is no limit to what we can do. a more united nation means working actively to bring

people and communities together by promoting policies which support integration and social cohesion. in scotland, wales and northern ireland that means fully respecting and strengthening devolution settlements but never allowing our union to become looser and weaker or our people drift apart. so when those policy areas where the uk government holds responsibility, i am determined we will put the interests of the union both of the parts and the hole at —— whole at the heart of our decision—making. international development is a prime example of that and your work here on behalf of your fellow citizens across the united kingdom has a huge impact. indeed, the work we do as the united kingdom on the world stage makes an eloquent case for our union as a whole. it is about the values we share in our family of nations, the values of freedom of speech,

democracy and respect for human rights, the rule of law. this proud, shared heritage provides a bedrock of our lives together in the uk and on that foundation we have built a country where we share the challenges that we face and bring all the expertise, ingenuity and goodwill we share across this union to tackle them. that allows us to do amazing things like the life—saving work which is led from this building. so as britain leaves the european union and we forge a new role for ourselves in the world, the strength and stability of our union becomes even more important, not just for the good that standing together brings to our own people here at home but also for the good we can do together in the world asa global britain, a force for good, helping to build a better future for everyone. the family of two of the victims from the westminster terror attack

have been speaking at scotland yard this morning. americans kurt and melissa cochran were hit by the car driven by khalid masood on westminster bridge kurt died from his injuries — with melissa steadily improving in hospital. melissa's brother clint, paying tribute to his family started by thanking emergency services for their efforts during the attack. ourfamily is so our family is so grateful for the first responders, the medical personnel, the assistance of government agencies in the united states and great britain, along with the generosity and assistance of delta il rinds in arranging travel to and from london. —— delta airlines. we are deeply touched by the goodness and generosity of people, your notes, prayers and donations and love have helped us so much. the most difficult part of all

of this is that cart is no longer with us. we miss him terribly. he was an amazing individual who loved eve ryo ne was an amazing individual who loved everyone and tried to make the world a better place. he left a legacy of generosity and service. that continues to inspire us. we are deeply saddened to lose him but are grateful that the world is coming to know him and be inspired by him. thank you for your many stories that have touched her family and helped us have touched her family and helped us remember and celebrate his life. —— touched our family. us remember and celebrate his life. —— touched ourfamily. thank you. this afternoon's deadline to form a new devolved government in northern ireland following the elections is likely to pass without an agreement. sinn fein say they won't go into an executive led by the democratic unionist party leader, arlene foster,

while a public inquiry investigates her handling of a failed green energy scheme. earlier, mrs o'neill responded to the comments made by the dup defending her party's actions in these talks. we came to the negotiation over the last three weeks, fully engaged, we wa nted last three weeks, fully engaged, we wanted to deal with all the issues. we said consistently we wanted it is the implementation of issues previously agreed, that is a major stumbling block. the dup were not prepared to bring forward mechanisms and deal with the issues and make sure we had phil implementation. the british government did not play their role in the way they should. they should have made sure we had 11 on what was previously agreed. as you know there are a range of issues which need to be dealt with, they have been well rehearsed, equality, an irish language act, legacy, so there are a range of issues we need

to seam movement on. we have bereaved families standing 47 years later on the steps of stormont to ask for access to due process. that is not good enough. people should have to come here to protest for their rights, there should be delivery of all people's writes. that remains sinn fein‘s resolve. we will engage with all the other parties and try to find common ground where we agree. i think we can do that but that is a job of work to be done in the days ahead, we remain committed to try and deal with the issues but what is clear, we will not return to the status quo. that is michelle and neil sinn fein. —— michelle o'neill of sinn fein. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first — the headlines on bbc news: in a speech in scotland the prime minister said brexit is an opportunity to strengthen the ties between nations in the united kingdom — she'll meet nicola sturgeon later. labour says it will not support any

brexit deal negotiated by the government unless it meets the party's "six tests". the family of the american tourist killed in the westminster terror attack said he would not have borne any ill will towards his attacker. hello, the business news. bt has been fined £a2m by the telecoms regulator ofcom for delays in installing high—speed lines. its largest fine the regulator has ever imposed. it comes after bt‘s openreach division cut how much it paid telecoms providers for delays in installing lines between 2013 and 2014. banks need to prepare for a wide range of potential outcomes and avoid sudden changes to lending as the country gets ready to leave the european union. the warning from the bank of england comes just two days before

prime minister plans to trigger article 50 — the process of formally notifying the eu that britain is ready to start two years of exit talks. and more change on the trains. a hong kong firm has been awarded the franchise to run south west trains for seven years from august — replacing stagecoach. it's joined forces with uk transport firm first group. mtr runs the hong kong metro system and will operate london's crossrail line when it opens. the new franchise promises faster journeys with new trains. more on the news that telecoms giant bt has been fined more than £a0m for failing to pay proper compensation for delays to installing high—speed lines. it's a record fine — and reflects what ofcom calls ‘the seriousness of the issue'. it relates to bt‘s openreach division that installs cables and lines for other telecoms firms and ofcom found it committed a "serious breach" of its rules by cutting how much compensation it paid to customers. here's ofcom's director of investigations and enforcement this is basically the backbone of

oui’ this is basically the backbone of our digital network and bt was found to have breached its content —— contract with other providers such as vodafone and talk talk by delaying the roll—out of these broadband lines. they should've given appropriate notice and made sure people knew when these lines we re sure people knew when these lines were being rolled out, if there was delayed, and if there was delayed, pte could be obliged to pay compensation. we found that bt did not pay the appropriate amount of compensation because of the breach to contracts. compensation because of the breach to contracts. the business day is just beginning in the united states. investors will be taking stock of last friday's shock announcement that president trump had failed to push through his healthcare bill. he was hoping to radically change the former president's affordable care legislation. so — questions are being asked about his ability to deliver on his economic agenda of tax cuts and american jobs. let's speak to our north america business correspondent samira hussain who is at

the new york stock exchange. what has been the reaction to his failure to pass through those changes? markets have yet to open, we are 45 minutes away from opening. but on friday when the health care bill was ultimately pooled from congress, no one really voted on it, markets had already closed so no chance to react. when you look at futures, that gives us an early indication of the markets. we say that markets are looking down across the board. that is because this has rocked the confidence of wall street when it comes to president trump and his ability to get his legislative agenda through congress. repeal and replace obama care was just one part of it. not something that wall

street was paying attention to really but what is important is some of the other legislative pieces of his agenda. the biggest one of course is the rolling back of some of those regulations on banking regulations and also reorganising the american tax code. that is what is really important for wall street and that is what they are looking for, to see how possible it is reckoned to get through congress.- you get a sense this is an indication of his ability to deliver on his promises? absolutely. you say that in the house and the senate it is republican—controlled so technically it should not be a problem but there is a lot of divide between republicans. we have seen when it comes to try and get health ca re when it comes to try and get health care push through, the trump

administration could not do it. tax reform is going to be any easier because we have very divided republicans. there is certainly a need for tax reform. no one will argue against that but it is a matter of getting a piece of legislation that everyone agrees to and getting it passed in congress and getting it passed in congress and that may be difficult. thank you very much forjoining us. let us look at the markets before we go. worries over those deliveries of promises from donald trump has pushed through lots of negativity across markets across europe and the states. it has had a ripple effect. the pound hit a seven—week high against the dollar. individual shares, bt fell about 1.2% after that £42 shares, bt fell about 1.2% after that £112 million fine we talked about earlier. that's it from me, back with more business news in one

hour. thank you. at least eight japanese students and teachers are feared dead following an avalanche injapan. they had been taking part in a mountain trip near the town of nasu in the tochigi region of centraljapan. more students and teachers are feared missing. about 60 people are said to have been in the area at the time. rupert wingfield hayes reports from tokyo. high up on the mountainside, rescue teams can be seen climbing in deep snow to the avalanche site. another team is spread out on the line, carefully prodding for signs of life and digging for those below. 48 high school students and their teachers set out up this mountain this morning. conditions were terrible, more than 12 inches or 3a centimetres of snow had fallen in just eight hours. at around nine o'clock this morning, the whole new snow sheet slipped, tumbling down the mountainside and engulfing the students.

all day driving winds kept helicopters at bay, the rescue would have to be done on foot. by late afternoon, teams began bringing the dead and injured down, shrouding them in blue sheets. seven children and one teacher confirmed dead, most of them from the same high school. another 30 have been injured although most of those are not serious. as the rescue operation begins to wind down, the questions will begin. with the heaviest march snowfall and 25 years and avalanche warnings posted, why did this trip go ahead? rupert wingfield—hayes in tokyo. mps must introduce tougher measures to tackle childhood obesity in england, including controlling supermarket price promotions on junk food and food high in sugar. a report out today by the health select committee argue that plans published by government ministers last year

miss several important opportunities and don't go far enough. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. a levy on sugary drinks was the main element of the government's childhood obesity strategy when it was announced last year. while many health experts and campaigners said it was a start, they also thought the government could and should have gone further. now a group of mps has agreed that much more needs to be done to tackle childhood obesity. in particular they want action to curb discounts and price promotions on unhealthy food. the committee also calls for clear goals on reducing overall levels of childhood obesity and for the levy on sugary drinks to be extended to milk—based products that have added sugar. we know that one in three 11—year—olds are overweight or obese, and that's notjust about individual choices, it's about the environment that children are growing up in and really the key thing that's missing from the current strategy is regulation around marketing and the promotions to children. representatives from the food industry itself told the committee

that responsible retailers are being disadvantaged by those who continue to offer big discounts on food high in sugar and fat. in a statement, the department of health in england defended its use of a largely voluntary approach from the food industry to the reduction of sugar and fat, and said ministers had not ruled out further measures if results are not seen. but the mps argue the situation with childhood obesity is so serious and urgent, ministers need to take much more robust action. dominic hughes, bbc news. united airlines has faced a barrage of criticism after it barred two teenage girls from boarding a flight for wearing leggings. a third girl aged ten, also wearing leggings, was only allowed to board after she put on a dress that was in her backpack. united said paying customers would have been allowed to fly, but as the girls were flying on discounted tickets as relatives of staff members, they had to meet certain standards. caroline davies reports it's the online argument that has

been called leggings gate. it was started by this tweet by a campaigner in the united states. she saw to my girl stopped from going on the flight because they were wearing leggings. —— two girls. i was really stunned, because i'm a mom of four daughters who travel and live and work in leggings and yoga pants. and also because i wanted to understand the policy. i am a premier member of united and ijust thought it was really shocking. she tweeted and this was their tweet in return. it led to a twitter storm. united

clarified their position in a later tweet. that is a ticket for company employees and it does have a dress code which means you can't wear lycra. the company have also treated reminding their normal customers that their leggings are welcome. shannon still says she thinks this policy is sexist and needs to be changed. listicle —— lessig look at the weather no. your impression of the day will depend on weather you sue the sunshine or not. as like the weekend, weather you are exposed to an onshore breeze. if you have all of the cloud and that breeze, it will feel as cold as a dead at the

weekend. if you have more sunshine, it will make a huge difference. you could be stuck close to 78 degrees but a bit of sunshine and less breeze, you could get 217 and possibly 19 degrees. quite a bit of low cloud over the north sea tonight. notjust low cloud over the north sea tonight. not just as low cloud over the north sea tonight. notjust as cold for some of you in the north and east as has been the case in recent nights but thatis been the case in recent nights but that is something of a change afoot for tuesday, especially in the west. the cloud will be thickening. i am taking away the surprise factor but thatis taking away the surprise factor but that is the chance of one or two showers in the west country and up to wales as well. cloud in the east, some hill fog around. a lot of dry weather at this stage. for some of you, don't get caught out because there is a change on the way. it is

because we are increasingly seeing an influence coming from the atlantic. we have had high pressure through the course of the weekend but that is a change. this southerly breeze ushering in the cloud, mainly to the south and west of the british isles. the further east you are, the drier your day will be. if you get some sunshine with the southerly breeze, temperatures will be pushed well into the teens, except for the north—east corner of scotland. that prospect tends to recede towards the middle of the week, these areas of low pressure will swing their mild airup and across low pressure will swing their mild air up and across the british isles. it is much more of the south and south westerly so with a little bit of sunshine, the temperatures will rocket away. a dry start to the week, it turns cloudy and wetter but thatis week, it turns cloudy and wetter but that is still want to be had. ——

wa nt to that is still want to be had. —— want to be had. —— want to be had. this is bbc news. the headlines at 2pm: theresa may meets nicola sturgeon for the first time since the snp announced their proposals for a second independence referendum. the pm says she wants the uk to become more united, to make it stronger after brexit. when this great union of nations sets its mind on something and works together with determination, we are an unstoppable force. the family of the american tourist killed in the westminster terror attack say he would not have borne any ill will towards his attacker. he was an amazing individual who loved everyone, and tried to make the world a better place. survivors of the caliphate — we hear from the mosul residents who've escaped the fighting. a record fine for bt — for delays in fitting high—speed broadband. they'll have to pay millions in compensation too.
