this is bbc news. i'm joanna gosling. the headlines at 12: three teenage women are arrested on suspicion of terror offences in raids linked to a police operation in north london on thursday in which a woman was shot and injured. leading social media firms are "shamefully far" from tackling illegal and dangerous online content, according to a report by mps. these social media companies have been asked repeatedly to sort this out and repeatedly they have failed to do so. so i think it is time that the government should be putting new systems in place which involve fines. a man shot dead by intruders at a house in dorset has been named by police as 61—year—old guy hedger. labour promises new legal standards for rented homes in england, if it gets into power. the government says it does not recognise a betrayal over dinner with theresa may as said by the german media. —— a portrayal.

also: the final week of campaigning is underway in the french presidential election. the front runner, emmanuel macron, is calling for major reform of the european union. and a new picture of princess charlotte, taken by her mother, has been released ahead of her second birthday. and the travel show visits ghana as it celebrates 60 years of independence from britain. that's in half an hour, here on bbc news. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. three teenage women have been arrested on suspicion of terror offences after raids in east london. the arrests are being linked to the counter—terrorism operation that saw a woman shot and injured in willesden in north london last thursday. ten people, linked to that operation, have now been arrested. with me is our reporter james waterhouse.

what can you tell us? the met police say this, these arrests are part of an ongoing intelligence led operation. the suspects up to 18 and 119, all women and right now they are being questioned by police outside of london on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts. officers have confirmed that that rare arrests a re officers have confirmed that that rare arrests are linked to a similar raid we saw in willesden last week in which a 21—year—old woman was injured after being shot by armed police. she has since been discharged, arrested on suspicion of the same offences. it is clearly a big police operation, how long can these people be held in custody for? terror suspects can be held up to 1a days, up to that point you need to get permission from a judge to hold them further. detectives had put in a special application to hold the

suspects throughout the bank holiday weekend. one of those arrested was 21—year—old, it was revealed over the weekend that he had previously been questioned on suspicion of trying tojoin the been questioned on suspicion of trying to join the islamic state group in syria. as you say, ten now arrested, all for the same suspected offences and investigation is very much continuing. police previously said they had foiled an act of terror plight, they believe. yes, make of that what you will. i number of arrests in london and one at a property in kent. all quite coordinated over a number of days, as to what that has achieved, we will see. thank you very much. social media companies are being accused of a "shameful" failure to tackle online illegal and dangerous content. a report by a group of mps says sites like facebook, twitter and google put more effort into protecting their profits than keeping the public safe online. the home affairs select committee branded the firms' lack of action as a "disgrace".

asjonathan blake reports. twitter, facebook, and google — big brands and household names used by billions online every day, but accused again of doing nowhere near enough to tackle illegal, abusive, or extremist posts. i think both the richest, biggest companies in the world have both the ability and a responsibility to make sure that this kind of illegal and dangerous material is removed. i don't think they are taking this seriously enough, and i think they need to. the mp suggested fines for social media companies failing to remove posts quickly enough. they proposed the firms pay for police time to investigate potentially illegal content, similar to the model used in football, where clubs pay for policing on match days. all three companies criticised in the report have defended their approach to on—line safety, and they say they are committed to doing more. facebook, twitter, and google all have ways of allowing us to report things we see on—line

which may be illegal or inappropriate. but the mp‘s report criticises the companies for relying too much on users, and says that they are effectively outsourcing the role of policing at zero expense. this is not the first time social media companies have been criticised for not tackling extremism and abuse. they continue to try to balance providing a platform for free speech, with stopping those who abuse it. jonathan blake, bbc news. a man killed during an attempted burglary at a house in dorset has been named by police. 61—year—old guy hedger was shot as intruders entered the property in the early hours of sunday morning. simonjones reports. police cordon off a quiet cul—de—sac that has now become a murder scene. officers were first called here just after 3am yesterday morning. there were two or more intruders in one of the houses. police don't believe guy hedger knew them, but they shot him dead.

we are treating this as an aggravated burglary. the offenders, we believe, went in to steal and they've subsequently shot an innocent man. he was taken to hospital, but tragically died. we've since launched a murder enquiry and i'm making this appeal to try and reach anybody with any information and ask them to come forward to help us. a second person who lives in the house was there at the time. they are said to have been left deeply affected by what happened and are now being cared for by specially trained officers. the police say the area will remain sealed off and there will be high—visibility patrols today, to offer reassurance to the community. they want to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious. the key questions — what led up to the shooting, and why guy hedger ended up losing his life? the hunt for his killer continues. simon jones, bbc news. reports have emerged from the german

press that the prime minister... the uk described the meeting as contractors, saying the pair discussed other international issues ina dinner. discussed other international issues in a dinner. a different account emerged in the german media i've been beaten. he said he left downing street ten times as sceptical as he was before the meeting. she's always reported to have made it clear that she fully expects to be re—elected as prime minister injune's general election. reactions to the report, the government spokesmen say we do not recognise this account. as the prime minister and mr young can make there, this was a constructive meeting ahead of the negotiating getting underway. the labour leader was asked about the report. it isa was asked about the report. it is a mammoth task ahead to negotiate trade arrangements and

everything else with the european union and we are determined that our priority would be to protect the rights that we have achieved, protect the rights of the eu nationals here and negotiate a tariff free access to the european trade market which is very, very important for all of us. tim farren has also responded to the story. the revelations overnight show that theresa may being guilty of astonishing arrogance i complacency. but she feels somehow the lack of any kind of deal, new free trade deal, no cooperation on police and security, but that is somehow a cce pta ble security, but that is somehow acceptable to families up and down this country. never mind how we voted lastjune, this country. never mind how we voted last june, that this country. never mind how we voted lastjune, that is what every individual, together as a gadget, we deserve a good deal. theresa may has shown overnight the arrogant complacency that comes from believing she has already won this election, that shows she does not ca re election, that shows she does not care what the impact will be on our

hospitals, the jobs in this country, the praise of the supermarket and the praise of the supermarket and the well—being the praise of the supermarket and the well— being of every the praise of the supermarket and the well—being of every family in this country. campaigning in the french presidential elections is entering its final week ahead of the vote on sunday. both candidates, the centrist emmanuel macron and his far—right opponent marine le pen are leading major rallies around paris today. opinion polls taken since the first round of voting last week suggest mr macron is favourite to win. this morning marine le pen and her father and founder of the front nationalejean—marie le pen have both been campaigning. james reynolds is in central paris — where jean—marie le pen, former leader of the national front has been speaking. he spoke about an hour on and off, given the fact there were some problems, which caused him to stop for a while. he spoke at a separate event from his daughter, that hasn't been a public stream in between them in recent years. this was very much a speech to the front national baseball. does that help marine lip pen, his daughter? it is difficult

to say that it does. bear in mind thatjean—marie le pen at his peak in 2002 only managed to get 17, one 17% of the vote. she is in the run—off this time, she knows if she appeals to hard—core supporters of her father, the people appeals to hard—core supporters of herfather, the people who appeals to hard—core supporters of her father, the people who were here, she probably doesn't win. she has to extend that is about to try to try to get left wingers, to get people who are sceptical about the eu, social conservatives as well to branch out. that is why she is campaigning separately from him, thatis campaigning separately from him, that is why she is campaigning using her first that is why she is campaigning using herfirst name that is why she is campaigning using her first name and not the surname. does it help or hinder her when he comes out and speak as he has done today? it is difficult to say. it probably motivates long—term national front supporters who have always seen jean—marie le pen is someone they look to. does it help her with undecided? it is difficult to see that it does. it may be that emmanuel macron, her opponent, later

today, users of the parents to try and tell french people that this is the movement, this is the person from which our ideas sprung and they will reject it in 2002 and emmanuel macron will make repeated appeals for them to be rejected in 2017. the polls that emmanuel macron ahead. what... how can the numbers stack up? can she still do it? in order to have a chance of doing it, she is now time to do something very difficult. she tried to get votes from the left and the right. the left—wing tutoring to pick up supporters of the anti—eu candidate jean—luc melenchon. he said that she isa jean—luc melenchon. he said that she is a bad option but she is hoping some of his supporters will come to her who are sceptical about globalisation capitalism and the eu 01’ globalisation capitalism and the eu or at worst that they will stay at home. at the same time, she has also tried to appeal to supporters of the right wing, of fillon he was knocked

out in the first round. those social conservatives, not people who are anti—iu. she faces a difficult task in 20 motivates people from all areas of french politics. i asked her about this on saturday and she said she would appeal to the supporters of fillon and jean—luc melenchon. i think that is what worries emmanuel macron supporters. they are worried that people might read for how will stay at home and the race might narrow rather than the race might narrow rather than the polls suggest. they have both been talking about the future of the eu and raising the prospect of france, potentially, exiting the eu. what is the view of each of them on that? marine le pen has campaigned for yea rs that? marine le pen has campaigned for years as a prominent anti—eu figures suggesting that there should be an immediate referendum issue gets elected on france's membership of the european union. she has somewhat retracted her thoughts about membership of the euro in

recent days saying it is not a priority. she really has positioned herself as a candidate who are sceptical of the eu. by contrast, emmanuel macron has always shown that he is a pretty eu candidate. interesting in his comments to my bbc colleague, he suggested that there needed to be reformed. i think both candidates know this. when you do the mathematics of the first round, you see there are about 49% of voters who voted for anti—eu candidate and 49% of voters who voted for by large pro—eu candidates. there is a division in french is likely that these two candidates are not try to address. james reynolds reporting. president trump has warned that a conflict with north korea, which is trying to develop nuclear weapons, could kill millions of people. he argued that getting chinese help to deal with north korea was more important than becoming involved in a trade dispute with beijing. in an interview with cbs news he also described the north korean leader, kimjong un, as "a pretty smart cookie". sarah corker has the latest. so far, mounting diplomatic pressure has not stopped north korea accelerating its weapons programme.

pyongyang has launched two failed missile tests in the last two weeks, the latest one on saturday. and in a wide—ranging interview on us television, president trump stepped up the rhetoric. if he does the nuclear test, i will not be happy. and i can tell you also, i don't believe that the president of china, who is a very respected man, would be happy either. any military action? i don't know, we will see. but he also warned of the consequences of conflict. massive warfare, with millions, potentially millions of people being killed. and a reminder of america's military might, the uss carl vinson arrived in waters off the korean peninsula this weekend, while on monday japan's biggest warship was deployed to support the us vessel. more signs that tensions in the region are intensifying. and when asked about north korea's young leader, mr trump questioned his sanity,

but also had these surprising words of praise. at a very young age he was able to assume power, a lot of people i'm sure tried to take that far—away, whether it was his uncle or anybody else, and he was able to do it. so obviously he's a pretty smart cookie. mr trump's comments come as he marked 100 days in office at a rally in pennsylvania. in that time he's hosted china's president xi, who he says is now putting pressure on north korea, its ally, to scale back its nuclear ambitions. meanwhile, the us is installing an anti—missile system in south korea, activity that's attracted some protest from local people. and it sparked this reaction from pyongyang. it states newsagency urged the us to... and so, for president trump, the question of what to do

about north korea remains his toughest foreign policy test. the headlines on bbc news: three teenaged women are arrested on suspicion of terror offences in raids linked to a police operation in north london on thursday in which a woman was shot and injured. a committee of mps says the failure of some of the biggest social media companies to remove illegal online content is a "disgrace." the government says it does not recognise the report of theresa may's thin out with a european union member as portrayed by the german media. let's catch up with the spot. good afternoon. with the premier league title battle seemingly a two—horse race between leaders chelsea and second place tottenham, attention turns to the race for champions league qualification.

tonight, liverpool can move three points clear in third place, ahead of both of the manchester sides, with a win at watford. both united and city dropped points yesterday. united were held to a 1—1 draw at home to swansea. city had to rely on a late equaliser from gabrieljesus to rescue a point at struggling middlesbrough. here's liverpool manager jurgen klopp on the race to finish in the top four. it would be nice if we had ten points more and fight with chelsea for the title but that is not for us at this moment so we have to fight for what we can fight for. that is the champions league spot and a champions league place and it is really, really interesting, to be honest, and is them more pressure? no, it is the pressure you can read by your performances. former ghana midfielder sully muntari walked off the pitch in protest, whilst playing for his italian club pescara yesterday, after insisting he'd been racially abused by a fan in the crowd. the former portsmouth and sunderland player told the referee

of the attack and asked for the match to be stopped. instead muntari was booked for dissent, prompting him to leave the pitch with a minute of the match still left to play. snooker, and he might be the reigning world champion but mark selby has some work to do if he's to defend his title. he goes into the last day of the final trailing john higgins by ten frames to seven. selby, who's the world's number one player, had been 10—4 down but won the last three frames of the day to give himself a lifeline. selby has been in dominant form of late, topping the world rankings for the past two years, but in higgins he faces a four—time world champion. watch how it unfolds live on bbc two from two o'clock. after his captivating victory over former undisputed heavyweight champion wladimir klitschko on saturday night, anthonyjoshua has been reflecting on his success. and despite adding the wbo and ibo belts to his existing ibf title, here's how the briton responded to being described as

a global sporting star. a global sporting star? i am going back to the same house, the same family... nothing changes. perception and reached changes and where ayatollah ali khamenei, the ground does not change. it is nice, it is amazing that i am still worried i am a fighter and i have to keep that mindset right now, keep my feet firmly on the ground. good to see it has not gone to his head. that is all the sport four 110w. head. that is all the sport four now. i will be back in half an hour. thanks, jessica. the testing of primary school children — is affecting their learning and mental health according to an influential group of mps. the cross—party education select committee says the way sats results are used to judge schools, causes a negative impact on teachers and pupils. here's our education

correspondent marc ashdown. even from a young age, children are well accustomed to being tested, but mps are worried the importance placed nowadays on how pupils perform in isolated tests leads to a multitude of problems. results are used to judge schools in annual performance tables, which this education select committee report says create a high—stakes environment, damaging to both pupils and teachers. these year 6 students are gearing up for their tests. it is a good school in a challenging area of london. the reality is children at the age of ten or 11 are going to do an hour's test, which will rate their learning and reading for four years. it's a very high—stakes hour. for us, as a school, the results of that are also very high stakes for our school, too, because it is how it is rated. the report recommends scrapping the annual publication of tests in favour of a rolling three—year average. teaching unions say this just reinforces what school leaders have been saying for years. one union described

the current system as toxic. we've been clear for a long time that the current system of assessment is not fit for purpose and we are really pleased to see today's report acknowledging that too. we've been working with the government over a number of months now to try and bring about long—term improvement and there are some encouraging signs but there's still a long way to go yet. ofsted too urged to take the focus off sats and look at a broad and balanced curriculum in its inspections, to prevent so—called teaching to test. ofsted said it already looks for a broad curriculum. the department for education has said it will consider the report and respond in due course. the organisation representing nhs groups has called on political parties to commit to linking health spending to the growth of the economy. the confederation points out that uk health spending as a share of the economy, is below that of france and germany. it also wants the next government to set up an independent body to advise what level of funding is needed to meet the needs of the nhs.

more now on calls for social media companies to be fined if they fail to remove content featuring terrorist propaganda, child abuse or hate speech. mps on the commons home affair‘s committee have accused firms such as facebook and twitter of putting more effort into protecting profits than keeping people safe online. the companies have previously defended their approach to online safety. with me now is luc delany. he used to be facebook‘s european policy manager and now runs the public policy and communications agency delaney and co. thank you for coming in. you have been inside facebook and seen how it works. from the outside, people look and say there is content that you should not be there, why isn't it straightforward to take it down? there are thousands of people in facebook and google and these other companies that cared very strongly about trying to ensure that their communities are protected, to say

that they would rather protect profits in that community is kind of ignorant to the fact that we need a strong community in order to serve. those people were to leave, the companies would simply as well. to a nswer companies would simply as well. to answer your question, we are sometimes talking about very khalili illegal content and when a police officer or a judge says this is illegal, take it down or providers with information because we have a warrant, it is easier for with information because we have a warrant, it is easierfor a company to be able to do that. the asked facebook or google or youtube to be able to interpret national law and implied by themselves, i think overste ps implied by themselves, i think oversteps actually their obligations and would be quite worrying, i think, to british people to think that facebook wasjudge, think, to british people to think that facebook was judge, jury and execute on the content that they are providing on the platform. what about when the bbc looked into

sexualised images of children on facebook and presented images that we re facebook and presented images that were causing concern to facebook, it ended up more than 80% of the were not removed and then facebook reported the bbc to the police. what was going on when something like that happens? when the networks find content that is illegal and it may be that they were shared illegal conduct by this journalist, they are under a legal obligation to report it. but if there is sexualised images of children which presumably are illegal, why is not facebook ta ke are illegal, why is not facebook take them all down? i have not seen those images, thankfully. what i can tell you is there isn't foundation called the internet watch foundation, partly funded by industry, the sea, the centre for exploitation on online production of young people, there is a long history of police and government

working together to protect and remove, surrey, to remove these kind of images, child abuse images. that is really not addressed in this report. yes, there are examples where it does not work, it is not perfect and the example with the bbc was messy, complicated. there are certainly guards in place. if you we re certainly guards in place. if you were to semi and illegal image and state should didn't facebook do something rather less? you would be breaking the law. removing a karting, refusing to remove a cartoon, the hateful conduct policy, what are the sort of parameters around the policies they get drawn up around the policies they get drawn up within these organisations? how

difficult is it, what is the line that a strong? i have seen that karting, it is in the report and it is deeply offensive and i think it would be deeply offensive to 99.9% of the people who see it. is it illegal or not is not a question that twitter themselves can or should be able to decide. and so that should be up to the police or toa that should be up to the police or to a judge or a court to inform them when something is actually illegal or not. how the companies themselves set up their policies, trying to find a balance between freedom of speech and preventing censorship and security and accepting the tone of the content on the website. there is no kind of one size fits all solution, we are talking about people's behaviour and moderating that, people's communications and moderating that. we find that very ha rd moderating that. we find that very hard in the real world as well as online. there are ways of users

reporting material, whether it gets removed or not is another matter, one of the concerns of the mps is that the funds are not being proactive enough in hunting down the things that are causing concern. they have got very deep pockets and the ingenuity to be more proactive if they want. what level of productivity is there?” if they want. what level of productivity is there? i do not buy the argument that community self policing is a bad thing or that is over upon. when you have a community on facebook which is almost 2 billion people, it would not matter if they had 1000, 10,000, or 100,000 people trying to review reports. the scale of the operation means that we need people to be able to report the communities, they are strong, they ca re communities, they are strong, they care about what they see, they are proactive. where facebook and google and others to bribes do more is in

transparency, about how long things ta ke to ta ke transparency, about how long things take to take down and once things have been reported, to share that with other platforms, to make sure that it with other platforms, to make sure thatitis with other platforms, to make sure that it is not more virally. alarm bells will be ringing for many security experts, we have a right to communicate privately or publicly on up communicate privately or publicly on up platform. you would not accept the post office to steam open every letter to see view that something illegal in it or for every pub conversation to be used by the landlord to then report to. so the internet platforms do not have an obligation, a pre—existing obligation, a pre—existing obligation to check and monitor every single communication that goes across its platforms. the internet would break down, it would not function. and he very much, luc delany. it used to be facebook‘s european policy manager. thank you very much.

let's bring you this photograph being shared by the duke and duchess of cambridge. it's of princess charlotte who's celebrating her second birthday tomorrow. the photograph was taken in april by the duchess at their home in norfolk. their royal highnesses say they would like to thank everyone for all of the lovely messages they have received, and hope that everyone enjoys this photograph of princess charlotte as much as they do. i think ithink up i think up a word. proactivity. i invented that word. let's catch up with the weather. it is a bank holiday, you can be forgiven. bank holiday, you can be forgiven. bank holiday monday, some rain and some of us have got some rain around. some dry weather as well as spells of sunshine. let us take a look at the satellite picture because it shows is quite clearly what is going on. the swirl of cloud, a bit like a swiss roll across the south of the country. the swell of power, an area of low pressure which is not moving

anywhere fast at all. across southern counties of england, stomachs have the boundary showers. dry weather as well and largely fine conditions with some sunshine across north—west scotland, could get to 20 celsius. aberdeen, more cloud, temperature might get stuck at ten. we will see more cloud seeding in across eastern scotland, murky conditions is well overnight. the showers fade away by the end of the night for the south. a little bit chilly for some of us, maybe a touch of frost. tomorrow, a lot of dry weather around. the easterly wind. blowing over a cold sea, bringing in a lot of parties toured areas and a chilly filter the weather. west, but the sunshine and feels warmer. the chilly feel in eastern parts of the country right through the coming weeks.
