this is bbc news. the headlines. downing street is disputing claims in the german media of a fractious dinner last week with european commission president, jean claude juncker, and theresa may. 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. dorset police say they're looking for "at least two" suspects — after guy hedger was shot dead at his home during a suspected burglary.

also: the final week of campaigning is underway in the french presidential election, between marine le pen and emmanuel macron. police and protesters against far right candidate marine le pen have clashed in paris. a new picture of princess charlotte — taken by her mother — has been released ahead of her second birthday. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. downing street says it doesn't recognise an account — published in a german newspaper — of a supposedly fractious dinner between the prime minister and the european commission president, jean—claude juncker, last week. the newspaper reported there were sharp disagreements about how quickly a deal could be reached over the rights of british

and eu citizens and how much the uk owed the eu. number ten described it as a "constructive meeting." our political correspondent leila nathoo reports. no love lost between the prime minister and the european commission's presidentjean claude—juncker last week. a chance to get together in private before the 27 eu states agreed their brexit negotiating position. but behind the door, how did the meeting go? the influential german newspaper has published an account of the dinner from anonymous sources at the european commission. the report paints a picture of a difficult encounter, with the two at odds over britain's eu divorce bill and help —— how the future relationship will play out. jean—claude juncker apparently left, saying he was ten times more sceptical than he was when he arrived. in a statement, downing street said... on the election campaign trail,

brexit is the backdrop. and the liberal democrats want to play a role. the revelations overnight show theresa may being in the astonishing arrogance and complacency, that she feels that somehow the lack of any kind of deal, no free trade deal, no cooperation on police and security, that is somehow acceptable to families up and down this country. never mind how we voted lastjune, that is for every individual, but for the country, we deserve a good deal. labour says theresa may has underestimated the complexity of the talks and her approach is putting the economy at risk. you start at the basis

that you want to reach an agreement, and that you have shared interests and values. have a very important trading relationship with europe. if you start on that basis and show respect you are more likely to get a good deal. if you start with a megaphone and calling people silly names, it is not a great start to anything. meanwhile, the snp accused the tories of chaotic leadership over brexit. the remaining 27 eu states are uniting to make sure brexit works for them. but theresa may says she still confident she can get the best dealfor britain. leila joins me now. the report in the german newspaper is detailed and mentions quite a few specifics about differences on the speed with which we can get a deal done, about opting back into certain parts of the eu treaty, about the divorce bill the financial settlement. so it suggests that someone settlement. so it suggests that someone has had a pretty detailed look at what was said. but it has to be said this is a one—sided account

coming from the european side and in some senses they have an interest in trying to make out that things will be difficult. because brexit is not something they want to happen and now their priority is to keep the rest of the eu together. so it suits them to have this kind of narrative out there. downing street has rejected this account saying the meeting was constructive have not had a kind of alternative version of events in as much detail. so we wait to see if anything of that sort comes out. but of course it must be said this is at odds with what was said this is at odds with what was said publicly after this working dinner took place. but as you heard the opposition parties, this is ammunition for them because theresa may has put brexit at the centre of her election pitch which is that only she can get the best deal for the uk and only she has the leadership and strength to do that. so with this doubt cast over her approach this is something the opposition parties will want to run with. and until meaningful

negotiations begin and even any results from those emerge, we're going to see a lot of this. absolutely. there will be a lot of talking up of different positions, a lot of posturing until anything happen. and i'm sure when the talks start we will hear different versions of how they're going. theresa may is clear that she wants to be held as privately as possible but there are things getting out into the open one way or another. so it will be sometime before the talks begin and of course we're not going anywhere until the election, also french and german elections to get through this year and it will be sometime before any of before any of the nitty—gritty is starting to get done and we look forward to seeing what comes out. thank you very much. three women have been arrested on suspicion of terror offences after raids in east london. the arrests are being linked to the counter—terrorism operation in which a woman was shot and injured in north west london last thursday. a total of ten people have now been arrested in connection with what's known as the harlesden road police

operation. james waterhouse has been following developments. the metropolitan police described this as an ongoing intelligence led operation. so these arrests and all three women, two of them aged 18 and 119. they are being questioned outside of london currently on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts. officers have confirmed that these arrests are linked to a similar raid that we saw on thursday last week in which a 21—year—old woman was shot and injured by police. she has since been discharged and arrested on suspicion of the same offences. have please be more specific on that picture in terms of foiling any meaningful plot? not yet, it is undergoing investigation, there are ten arrests in total. there is an

unusual feature in that seven of the ten suspects are women. no one yet has been charged but this is quite a wide network the police are working with. arrests in london as well as in kent. we do not know to what end of oil has been stopped. but you get the sense of the size of the operation taking place. during the may day march in paris two people have been arrested. the two remaining candidates for the french presidency are holding rallies in paris ahead of next sunday's decisive round of voting. the centrist, emmanuel macron, has a strong lead in the polls over hugh schofield sent this report. less than a week to make up a gap in the polls and marine le pen is looking to consolidate

supporters among working men and women who find themselves victims of globalisation, the eu and the world of finance. translation: i will protect businesses by making them less vulnerable to globalisation and i will protectjobs and stop them from moving abroad. across town, another rally. this one pulled together marine le pen's opponents in the left—wing trade unions. the unions here are calling on people to turn out and vote for marine le pen's rival, emmanuel macron, to keep marine le pen out. but the question is, how many working—class voters are interested in that message because for many people who vote left traditionally in france, emmanuel macron isjust as bad or worse than marine le pen. i am here to say to all of my compatriots, vote macron, even if you do not like him very much. a former banker, emmanuel macron

knows he is not the natural choice for working—class voters. but he acknowledged their concerns about the eu. the dysfunctions of the european union are no more sustainable. so i do consider that my mandate the day after will be the to reform the european union and our european party. in this race, left—wing voters feel they have no runner. if they vote macron, for many, it will be with a james reynolds is in paris. many people out on the streets today in paris, what has been happening? there has been a huge march of unions and leftist organisations. they started about 50 metres in front of me and they have been

walking slowly down this avenue. about two or three miles ahead. we heard reports of some clashes between masks protesters and the police at the head of this demonstration. it should be stressed we're been here a long time watching people go past and did not see any masks protesters. it may be they joined from side streets orjoint later on but certainly the vast majority of protesters we have come across it seems simply came out to mark labour day. pressure shall candidates today, what has been on their agenda chris rock —— presidential. trying to hoover up as many presidential. trying to hoover up as ma ny votes presidential. trying to hoover up as many votes as they can. there are two candidates in the run—off and they know a simple fact. there were nine defeated candidates in the first round and those nine got 55% of the vote so macron and japan have got to fight over that percentage of

the vote. quite a lot of that is in the vote. quite a lot of that is in the streets behind me, in those walking behind me, politically committed people. but as we heard, workers, many of these people represent workers organisations and they do not see macron as a logical person for them to vote for. they believed he might start to dismantle the french welfare state which is something they support. on the other hand they also hate marine le pen, a lot of the find i have seen going by saying, no to marine le pen and a lot of antifascist organisations are year who would be horrified at the thought of having marine le pen as french president. so many people on this march are facing tough choices in the run—up to the elections, do they stay at home or hold their nosesin they stay at home or hold their noses in some ways and vote for macron. and looking at the polls is there any sign of a significant shift? not that we've seen. the polls we've seen in recent day still suggest that macron has a

significant advantage over marine le pen and indeed my bbc colleague asked whether or not he still saw her as the threat and he said, he had to continue fighting because he knows this country is divided between pro—europe and anti—europe and the danger of him is marine le pen could simply try to round up as many anti—europe forces as possible in order to cobble together an electoral coalition. that would be the way for the macron campaign but at the moment the numbers are on their side. thank you very much. dorset police say they are searching for "at least two" suspects after a businessman was shot dead by suspected burglars in the early hours of yesterday. 61—year—old guy hedger was fatally wounded at his home in the village of st ives in dorset. duncan kennedy is in st ives in dorset and joins us. the house where guy hedger lived and died is down the road behind me. it

has been sealed off all day today, many police officers coming in and out, many forensic experts coming in and out as well as this investigation starts to build. one of the biggest in the history of dorset police. we've also been speaking to neighbours in what is a very exclusive area and they have told us they simply cannot believe what happened. there has been constant police activity at the scene today. dozens of officers have arrived as part of what is now a very large investigation. police said guy hedger, who was 61, was shot in the early hours of yesterday morning. he later died of his injuries. the victim, say police, of a break—in by intruders. we are treating this as an aggravated burglary, so the offenders we believe went in to steal and have subsequently shot an innocent man. the police say they think they were at least two intruders. this is an area with large detached houses behind gates and tall bushes. the murder of guy hedger has been deeply upsetting for his neighbours. i think it is absolutely dreadful.

absolutely awful. sickening. i'm just very shocked, really, we moved here two or three years ago and it is a very quiet area. we feel very safe here. so just really shocking. it is a bit of horror, isn't it, really. when you only live 170 metres from the place then it is quite concerning. i'm sure you will agree. it is believed guy hedger shared this house with his partner who is said to be deeply affected by the incident. guy hedger was a director of the avonbourne academy trust. in a statement they said, everyone at the avonbourne trust is shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of guy hedger. guy had a deep passion for education and was dedicated to expanding the experience and knowledge of children in bournemouth. everyone at the trust will miss his guiding hand, friendship and the wonderful service he provided us. detectives say they do not think guy hedger knew his intruders.

they say anyone who heard or saw anything should contact them as soon as possible. dorset police will be updating us at some stage this afternoon and giving us more some stage this afternoon and giving us more facts of the leap about what has happened more details about the investigation. the working assumption is that this was some kind of burglary that has gone wrong with tragic consequences. but the overall feeling you get from speaking to people, labourers and others is that they simply cannot believe this kind of gun violence, this gun violence generally, has come to a tranquil and beautiful place such as this part dorset. the headlines on bbc news. downing street says it does not

recognise an account published in a german newspaper of a fractious dinner last week between the prime minister and the european commission president. 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. police fired tear gas in paris on the sidelines of a may day parade as protesters demonstrate against the far right presidential candidate marine le pen who has made a scathing attack on her rival. social media companies have been accused of a "disgraceful" failure in their efforts to tackle terrorist propaganda and hate speech online. the commons home affairs select committee says the firms are putting more effort into protecting their profits, than keeping people safe. google, facebook and twitter have previously defended their approach to online safety. richard galpin reports. according to the mps' report, illegal content, including

sexualised images of children, had not been removed quickly enough from the website of social media companies. despite repeated requests for this to be done. the home affairs committee had taken evidence from facebook, twitter and google, which owns youtube. the companies have billions of users around the world. mps have now lost patience. i think the richest and biggest companies in the world have both the ability and the responsibility to make sure that this kind of illegal and dangerous material is removed. i do not think they are taking this seriously enough, and i think they need to. the mps suggest fines, potentially millions of pounds, for companies which do not remove posts enough. they are also proposing that companies pay for police to investigate online material suspected of being illegal. but is it really possible to quickly spot extremist material, like thisjihadist recruitment video, amid the millions of posts being put up

on social media sites every day? there is certainly more that companies can do and they themselves have acknowledged that. they could be improving takedown times, partnering with each other to flag content across platforms, but we should also be careful. the way that systems and platforms work is that they have a limited liability for the content on there. much like the post office cannot steam open every single envelope to see if criminals are sending messages to each other. so at the moment social media companies are reliant on their users reporting what they consider to be illegal material. and for the mps that wrote the report today, they are not accepting that they expect the tech giants to do much more. japan has dispatched its largest warship to protect a us navy supply ship as it crosses japanese waters

in the western pacific. it's the first time ever that japan has sent one of its war ships to sea with the purpose of protecting a foreign military vessel. japan amended its security law last year to allow such missions. from tokyo, rupert wingfield hayes reports. the izumo is the pride of the japanese navy. the biggest warship the country has built since world war ii. today's departure is hugely symbolic. the izumo will escort and protect this us navy supply ship and will respond with force if it comes under attack. forjapan‘s military this is another big step away from pacifism. just across the sea of japan satellite photos show north korea is preparing for another underground nuclear test. speaking on sunday, us president donald trump again warned pyongyang not to go ahead. i would not be happy if he does a 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, will be happy. if pyongyang is worried, it is not showing it. today it vowed to go ahead with the nuclear test at any time and at any location. this all comes two days after north korea test fired another of its growing family of ballistic missiles. the fifth test this year. meanwhile the uss carl vinson carrier battle group has finally arrived in waters off the korean peninsula. the huge ship and its escorts are a very potent symbol of america's military might. but what are they here to do? president trump is not giving many clues. ijust don't want people to know what my thinking is. so eventually he will have a better delivery system and if that happens, we cannot allow it to happen. for the first time the us president acknowledged the terrible consequences that could result from a military strike against north korea.

massive warfare with potentially millions of people being killed. that, as we would say, trumps trade. tensions are now higher than at any time since north korea is young dictator kimjong un came to power in 2011. despite the heated rhetoric, neither side wants a conflict. but when tensions are high so are the dangers of miscalculation. the organisation representing nhs groups has called on political parties to commit to linking health spending to the growth of the economy. the nhs confederation also wants whoever forms the next government to set up an independent body to work out how much funding is needed to meet the needs of the nhs. our health editor hugh pym reports. 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 is 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. they might be vital for the economy, carrying millions of people every year to shop, work and study, yet bus services outside

of london are in crisis, according to campaigners. councils across england and wales have cut their bus budgets by a third since 2010, affecting thousands of routes. and it's the young, the less well off and those living in small villages, towns and the countryside who are suffering the most. our transport correspondent richard westcott reports. time's running out for many of our buses. they carry three times more people than the trains but thousands of council—subsidised routes have gone in recent years. this is the 267 late—night service from bath to frome. it's one of the services that is facing cuts across the country, and in fact come september the funding for this service is going to run out completely. most of the passengers on this bus are young, like holly, who works lates in a restaurant. and josh, who goes to college in bath. they can't afford to drive,

catch the more expensive train or move house. it's a really, really big deal because you just can't find the same opportunities in a small town like frome, so being able to travel daily and nightly back from bath, it's really important to me being able to earn enough money to live independently. how much longer have you got potentially going to college in bath? just under three years. how are you going to get there for the next three years? i won't be able to if they cut it. i don't know what i'm going to do. bath and north east somerset council says other authorities should help fund the service because the passengers come from different areas. first bus has helped keep it going for a few extra months, but in reality unless a campaign can drum up more passengers, the late weeknight 267s will go. it's a story reflected across much of england and wales. campaigners say nearly 3,000 council—subsidised routes have been slimmed down or dropped since 2010. 500 of them last year when two

thirds of local authorities cut their bus budget. first group run a fifth of the buses outside london, which is where these cuts are happening. we want to carry more customers, that's how we are successful, is how the communities we serve are successful. when we are criticised for bus cuts or whatever, we do take it hard. we only ever withdraw a service as a very last resort and of course very often at the moment a service is being withdrawn because of reductions in local authority funding. councils say years of cuts in government funding have forced them to ditch routes. a new buses bill will soon give them more powers to improve services, but back on the 267, passengers know that once their bus disappears, it almost never comes back. richard westcott, bbc news, frome. a new photograph of princess charlotte has been released by the duke and duchess of cambridge to mark her second birthday tomorrow.

the picture of the toddler was taken earlier this month by her mother at their home on the sandringham estate in norfolk. the royal couple said they're ‘delighted' to share the photo to mark their daughter's special day. let's head across to the other side of the newsroom now for the weather forecast. good afternoon. it has not been a bad bank holiday as they go across many areas with some dry weather and sunshine. but for the afternoon there are some showers around especially across southern parts of england and some of these could be happy. but further north, temperatures have been climbing at around 19 degrees. that is where the best of the weather is through the rest of the afternoon. heavy showers continue across some parts of southern england and south wales. through this evening and tonight the showers fade away, some clear spells

around and a bit more clout in eastern scotland and north east england. way you have clear spells it will be cold enough for some frost. tomorrow in the north—east quite a great start with cloud through the day. further west more sunshine and temperatures again into the high teens in places. and we'll keep that split going through the week with the coolest of the weather in the east and warmer further west. more details in half an hour. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... downing street says it doesn't recognise an account published in a german newspaper of a fractious dinner last week between the prime minister and the european commission president, jean—claude juncker. three 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. police and protestors clash on the sidelines of a may

day parade in paris. they were demonstrating against far—right presidential candidate marine le pen, who's made a scathing attack on her rival, the frontrunner, emmanuel macron. mps accuse some of the internet‘s biggest companies — including facebook and google — of doing "nowhere near enough" to remove illegal content. it is now time to catch up on the afternoon's sports news with jessica. we start with the final of the world snooker championship. mark selby is trying to defend his title against four—time champion john higgins. selby has been playing well this season, but the world number one went into this afternoon's session ten frames to seven down. selby has added two frames during this session. but the third has gone to higgins. let's ta ke but the third has gone to higgins. let's take a look at what is going on at the moment at the crucible.

selby is into the 21st frame, at the table. it is currently 11 nine four higgins. it is the first 18 that will be the champion. —— 11—9 to higgins. new england captainjoe root was cut off in his prime in yorkshire's latest one day group match with lancashire at headingley. root returned to form with an unbeaten 75, in his county's win on saturday, and was going well on 21 before former south africa all rounder ryan mclaren had him caught. gary ballance — who's currently out of favour in the england set up — looked in good form, hitting 85 as yorkshire set lancashire a target of 297 to win. they are currently 42—1. england'sjoss buttler has been in action in the indian premier league. he hit a quick—fire 33 for the mumbai indians as they beat the royal challengers bangalore with a ball to spare. mumbai are now top of the table.

west indies have lost two quick wickets in the first session of the second day of their second test against pakistan in barbados. roston chase was unbeaten overnight on 131 but both him and skipper jason holder have fallen today. a short time ago, the windies were 297—8. pakistan won the first test of the three—game series by seven wickets in jamaica, as they look to clinch what would be a first series victory in the caribbean. with the premier league title battle seemingly a two horse race between leaders chelsea and second—place tottenham, attention now 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. yes, it would be nice if we had ten points more and fight with chelsea for the title. but that is not for us for the title. but that is not for us obviously at this moment. we have to fight for what we can fight for, and that is a champions league spot. it champions league place. it is really, really interesting, to be honest. is there more pressure? no, it is pressure you create with 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 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. wba and ibf world heavyweight champion anthonyjoshua says he needs to improve ahead of his next fight. joshua beat wladimir klitschko in

a thrilling bout on saturday night. former british world champion tyson fury is currently without a boxing licence, but has indicated he would fightjoshua. there could also be a rematch with klitschko or a unification fight with wbc champion deontay wilder. i want to start planning how i can improve. i know that in my next fight, people will be watching. i think, 0k, fight, people will be watching. i think, ok, cool, i have done my learning now. i can't have people saying, you still learning, years a relative novice. i will get back to the gym and find out where my wea knesses the gym and find out where my weaknesses are and improve on them. it is as simple as that. that's all sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. jessica, thank you very much indeed. more now on downing street saying it doesn't recognise an account — published in a german newspaper — of a supposedly fractious dinner between the prime minister and the european commission president, jean—claude juncker, last week. the newspaper reported there were sharp disagreements

about how quickly a deal could be reached over the rights of british and eu citizens and how much the uk owed the eu. earlier, i spoke to the economist's berlin bureau chief, jeremy cliffe. he recommended caution over the claims. this is a one—sided view of the dinner from this is a one—sided view of the dinnerfrom insiders at this is a one—sided view of the dinner from insiders at the european commission, which is hardly a disinterested body year. so i think pa rt disinterested body year. so i think part of it has to be chalked up to a certain amount of chest puffing before negotiations get under way. we have seen that from the british side as well, with theresa may talking of walking out of toxins that a you and i would be better than a bad deal. but it does matter because its beach a perception that is very widespread in other european capitals, in brussels, berlin and elsewhere, that theresa may is not realistic about what you can achieve from brexit docs. particularly, what you can achieving the time frame she

has, cherry picking things like the rights of european citizens in britain, and there is essentially does not rely so hard that will be in next two years. in terms of the dinner, we're probably talking about something between the two different accou nts something between the two different accounts being it is very hard to say because downing street has not put out a phil account of the dinner on its own site. it is simply said it is constructive and there are some nice words. this is a blow by blow account of differences between the two sides. i'll wait to see if denny street has anything to say about some of the particulars. if there is some truth to them, it does give better do —— britain reason to worry. it was set in the report that theresa may suggested that jean—claude juncker that a template for the brexit docs could be her own renegotiation of britain's participation in europeanjustice and home affairs corporation when she was home secretary a few years ago. when she did that, she opted britain out of different types of

cooperation. there was a lot of concern on the side of the commission when this was brought up at the dinner that she thinks brexit bill work in exactly the same way and britain can opt out of europe as and britain can opt out of europe as a whole and selectively opt back into the things it wants to be part of. their view is that this is not on the table. how much is this account influenced the recent public comments of angela merkel on this subject? several sources, including this report, but also others say that after this dinner, which jean—claude juncker left and was very depressed about the chances of a deal being reached, he phoned angela merkel on thursday morning, before she was due to give a speech to the german parliament setting in negotiating lies the brexit before leaving for brussels. according to these reports, jean—claude juncker said theresa may at the british government are not realistic, they need to get real and they are living under delusions about brexit. so

angela merkel stood up, having a p pa re ntly angela merkel stood up, having apparently rewritten or speech, and said, you may remember... some in britain labour allusions in britain about brexit and that is a waste of time. the fact that she decided to go it ona time. the fact that she decided to go it on a limb and make that comment, which was perceived in london as being quite hostile, illustrates that this goes beyond the dinner and junk junk‘s in illustrates that this goes beyond the dinner and junkjunk's in a sample. —— jean—claude juncker‘s inner circle. how soon will it be before we see anything more meaningful? it will take awhile. it looks like docs will not stop until after the british election. they will then be the german election campaign, running over the summer until september. when the two sides sit down and rasher differences is not entirely clear but there are definitely those who know their stuff i know how these things work that are concerned that they will not get very far and it will end

with britain or one of the sides walking out of the room. lord kinnock, a british diplomat who helped draft the article 50 process by which britain is leaving the european union, as put the jazz of toxic lapsing at 30%. so i do think it isa toxic lapsing at 30%. so i do think it is a real possibility. —— has put the chances of talks collapsing at 30%. 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. claire lilley — from the nspcc — says companies such as twitter and facebook must do more to protect children. there are children on these sites who are extremely vulnerable and being exposed to get risk and harm. simply, not enough is being done. i accept that the companies ‘s biggest

companies are taking steps but we do not think that they are going far enough. they are making huge profits every year and need to invest much more in this. they need to proactively search out this material and conduct that is harmful. and we just think that they need to take greater responsibility. they have a duty of care to their users and particularly to children. there are millions of children in the uk using these platforms and they have a duty of care and responsibility to keep them safe. it is very easy for children to sign up. they do not make it difficult for children younger than 13 to sign up and they do not seek to reinforce that. how many accounts of children younger than that they seeking to remove? we just do not know. it is true, there are much greater things. we have a tool where we provide parents with information about the sites, apps and games that their children are using. what parents consistently tell us and children consistently tell us and children consistently tell us and children consistently tell us is that the reporting mechanisms are hard to find and how

to use. the safety mechanisms and safety information is difficult to find and to is too easy for children to sign up. those are three things immediately that could be tackled and would have a bigger part on how safe children are on the landforms. —— big impact on how safe children are on these platforms. the former european policy manager at facebook, luc delany, said that the report "bashes companies" but offers few real solutions. there are thousands of people in facebook, google and other companies that care very strongly about ensuring communities are protected. to say that they would rather protect profits than their community is kind of ignorant to the fact that we need a strong community in order to serve them. to answer your question... we are sometimes talking about very clearly illegal content. and when a police officer orjudge

says that this is a legal, take it down, or provide us with information because we have a warrant, it is easier for a company to do that. but to ask facebook, google or youtube to ask facebook, google or youtube to be able to interpret national law and apply it by themselves, i think it oversteps their obligations and would be quite worrying to british people, to think that facebook was judge, jury and executioner on content they provide on the platform. when it comes to the idea of prescreening content, alarm bells will be ringing for many privacy experts. you and i have a right to community privately, even publicly ona community privately, even publicly on a platform. just as you would not expect a post office to steam open every letter in order to see if you had put something illegal in it or for every pub conversation to be eavesdropped on by the landlord to then report you. so, the internet platforms to not have a pre—existing

obligation to check and monitor every single coming occasion that goes across the platforms. the internet would break down and it would not function. the headlines on bbc news... downing street says it doesn't recognise an account published in a german newspaper of a fractious dinner last week between the prime minister and the european commission president, jean—claude juncker. 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. police fire teargas in paris on the sidelines of a may day parade as protestors demonstrate against far—right presidential candidate, marine le pen, who's made a scathing attack on her rival. now on bbc news, it's time for the film review with jane hill now on bbc news, it's time for the film review with jane hill and jason solomons. hello and welcome to

the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. hi, jason, what do we have this week? long weekend, a visit to the cinema is on the agenda for many families, and they can climb aboard a spaceship if they like. those saviours of space, the guardians of the galaxy, are back, complete with talking raccoon for volume two of guardians of the galaxy. the terrible atrocities of the armenian genocide in first world war era turkey are on the agenda in the promise, getting the big screen love treatment with christian bale, and rising star florence pugh takes centre stage for lady macbeth, a low—budget british chiller that has nothing to do with shakespeare. i was at the cinema at the weekend and i saw the trailer for guardians of the galaxy vol 2. oh, my goodness, even watching the trailer,

ifelt like i was bombarded with this wall of noise and fury and funny little creatures. that sums it up, really. we'll move on! laughter. if you saw volume 1, you'll know that it is about... there a talking raccoon, a talking tree, it doesn't say much. itjust says, "i am groot." that tree has now been cut down to a tiny tree which is very cute. bear with me on this. i'll take your word for it. i don't know what they do, they save the galaxy from something, although the raccoon who is voiced by bradley cooper steals some stuff which means that half of the galaxy is after them in a kind of flash gordon style chase. as we join the action now, as they like to say in the crucible in sheffield, they are being chased by hordes of golden aliens. this is weird, we've got a sovereign fleet approaching from the rear. why would they do that? probably because rocket stole some of their batteries. dude! right. he didn't steal some of those. i don't know why they are after us. what a mystery this is.

what were you thinking? dude, they were really easy to steal. that's your defence?! come on, you saw how that high priestess talked down to us. now, i am teaching her a lesson! i didn't realise your motivation was altruism. it is a shame that the sovereign had mistaken your intentions and are trying to kill us. exactly! i was being sarcastic! oh, no! you're supposed to use a sarcastic voice! now i look foolish. can you put the bickering on hold until after we survive this massive space battle ? ok, the raccoon looks quite cute. that's what i'm taking from that. people call him a puppy. a triangle—faced panda. it is a film about banter and insult and very little else, strangely enough. i kind of enjoyed it in a kind of lobotomised carapace that i entered. it doesn't really go anywhere. there is a plot about chris pratt's character going to find his father played by kurt russell, who has luxuriant hair and delivers

every line like he's looking in the bathroom mirror. they have to explode this guy because he is a planet really and... it really makes no sense. it is kind of a pity, because if it had that it would be a much better superhero movie than normal. the colours are good, and if you like green zoe saldanas, and the other guy who is a benjamin thing type person, there's a lot to look at. visually it has a prog rock album cover look. it looks a bit like mike hodges' flash gordon all those years ago. it doesn't really go anywhere, and i feel that plotless in space leaves you a bit lost. you are — you're not selling it to me. i hate... i better stop saying that. if you liked the first one... is that who it's aimed at? it is not going to convert people who weren't there in the first place. if you did like the first one, there is nothing here that will put you off it, it feels like it is treading water into volume 3. oh, my god! it is inevitable.

thanks for leaving me with that thought. shall we move on? to something that is not volume two of anything. this is a change of pace, this is the promise which stars christian bale, oscar isaac and a french actress charlotte le bon. she is no relation to the duran duran singer. this is set against the terrible atrocities of the armenian genocide, which took place in 1914, 1915 in turkey. 1.5 million armenians were killed in that. yet to be acknowledged as a genocide. it has never had a big—screen treatment, only a few times been dealt with in popular culture. and here it is really fronted in what has become a sort of love war—torn epic with this love triangle. christian bale, as we can see him there, oscar isaac, and charlotte le bon. they try to stay together during the terrors of this war where armenians are being turfed out of villages, ethnically cleansed is the modern term. they are moved away. the turks arejoined with the germans in this war and it becomes a sort of uneasy mix of terrible tragedy with this kind of beating—hea rt love story.

is that the director trying to inform us all about history? history that he clearly feels we should know more about by using that age—old tradition of a love story? love triangle, but still a love story. that is the sort of thing we have seen in second world war movies and first world war movies countless times. but here, i didn't really know about the armenian genocide and i'm not alone in this. many people don't. and i don't really know much more about it having seen the film, which i think is a pity, because that is what is important. there are some terrible things that were done to the armenian population, concentration camps, train transport, in a way which sort of foreshadows holocaust movies and holocaust tropes that we see. kristallnacht—style kind of riot in the streets where the armenian shop owners were rounded up. these are a very interesting kind of foreshadowing. it is partly interesting to the point where a love story didn't interest me at all, i wanted to find out what was happening to the armenians. bit of a pity. but you need that love story to give you entry into the story. they play it very well, oscar isaac is good, christian bale is good as a gruff ap

news reporter, and charlotte le bon but it lacks a bit of star power in the middle of it. it is very well intentioned. but i don't think it is going to be the monument that the armenian genocide deserves in terms of cinema. let's move on to a film i feel a lot of people are talking about. lady macbeth, not to do with the shakespeare play. not really. if shakespeare is not your thing, don't let that put you off. but she is a lady macbeth—like character. this is played by a british rising star called florence pugh, who was in carol morley‘s film, the falling. this is her second major role and she completely devours this role. it is like watching someone blossom on screen. she is terrific. she plays a woman called katherine who is sold to a wealthy mine—owning family up north and becomes a wife, imprisoned in this terrible house which creaks and cracks and the wind wuthers through. the husband goes away. she is left to rule the house herself and gets drunk on the power and takes a fancy to herself as lady

of the manor, and takes a fancy to sebastian the stable boy, played by cosmojarvis. they have a torrid affair and here they are out on the moors. could you do without me? it's husbands and wives that kiss like that. laughter. she won't speak. you know i shant be parted from you alive, sebastian. through hell and high water, i will follow you. to the cross, to the prison, to the grave, to the sky. i'd rather stop you breathing than have you doubt how i feel. florence pugh, as you say, a lot of people talking

about her, she was only 19 when that was filmed. it is a debut by the director as well. yes, william old royd, he is an opera director, and the story has been made into an opera before. it was banned byjoseph stalin because it was feared that women would take instruction from this film and become rebellious from that opera. have our own mind! yes, it's terrible, it should never happen! what a suggestion! the way that she does it in this film, it is perhaps a good idea, she has a terrible consequence for her thirst. we admire her and love her, and think she is brilliant, but she's terribly complex. the way it is played is brilliant. i think this is one of the best british debuts i have seen in ages, and if you think it is a costume drama, think again. it kind of subverts all those frills and furbelows and merchant ivoryness. it is stark, lean and kind of frightening and macabre. it has a fairly mixed race cast with two black characters which bring another shade of class and race to that period drama. i think it is a superb film,

five stars from me. fantastic. there is the bank holiday viewing sorted. a quick thought about the best out. one, to my shame, i have still not had a chance to see and i am dying to see. this is an oscar—nominated documentary called i am not your negro. it is still out at select cinemas if you can find it. or find it on some streaming channel somewhere. it is a terrific documentary examining race in america through the eyes of a forgotten activist, james baldwin, who is a sort of poet, kind of jazz—era writer and author and activist. an extraordinary figure who's put front and centre of this, an examination of the civil rights movement through him, but it is an angry and powerful film. i can't forget it. i'm surprised it didn't win the best picture at the oscars. it is voiced by samuel ljackson, doing james baldwin's narrative. i think it's one of the best things samuel ljackson has ever done. the dvd, have you picked this just for me? your choice is reminding me how old i am, normally it is something that is out in the last few months.

i would never do that, remind a lady of her age. now you've taken us back to the 1980s. 1985, letter to brezhnev, which is like me delving into my albums and coming out now that's what i call music 4. yes! it is very much a soundtrack album from that era. it is a film that everyone went to see, it is the story of two girls in liverpool on a night out and falling in love with two russian sailors, played by peter firth and alfred molina, who have gone on to big things as well. margi clark is one of the girls. it has got bronsky beat in it. we all went to see it. it was the film to see. it was a film everyone saw. it was about working—class liverpool, thatcher—era britain. it was a rebellious film. but it was also bleak in that classic british way. restored and put on blu—ray, i wonder if the grit will still hold to it, but i think it is a real snapshot of britain that might have been forgotten. a kind of lost classic film, but one, as soon as you hear the name, letter to brezhnev, you are reminded of it. it is a cult classic from the british archives and i'm delighted it is out for a new generation to witness on blu—ray and dvd. and for you to be

reminded of your youth. thank you, jason. you can come again. thank you very much and enjoy your bank holiday viewing. thank you. that is it for this week for now. enjoy your cinemagoing and we'll see you next time. bye— bye. from films to the weather forecast. let's you at all now. —— lets either it. it has done that to be a one—day for some others. the warmest day in the year so far some others. the warmest day in the yearso far in some others. the warmest day in the year so far in northern ireland with 19 celsius in some points. this is a view from portstewart. it has been a glorious saturday with point of sunshine. it is the warmest day of the year so far in scotland, 21 celsius. it has not been glorious sunshine everywhere. this swirl of cloud has delivered showers and southern parts of england and summer been heavy and thundery. we know

about that in the bristol area for example at the moment, with the lightning rare and rumbles of thunder. the showers will fade away from southern england gradually through this evening. after midnight, looking dry with the odd mist and fog patchy in india and increasing low cloud into scotland in north—east england. it could be quite chilly in some spots, particularly the clear parts of western scotland after the very warm day today. looking at the big picture, high—pressure keeps things say fairly settled in the next few days. this is tuesday. workload in eastern scotland and into eastern england. some showers developing once again and pushing westwards across england into the afternoon. this is the picture at 4pm tomorrow afternoon. good, sunny spells into wales. scattering showers working to eastern and central parts of england. it is the south and south—east again where there could be some heavy ones around later in the afternoon. a picture for of

northern ireland and into scotland. quite warm in western scotland, maybe not quite as warm as today, but 19 celsius could be yours once again. warm as well in northern ireland in the sunshine. the showers start to fade before dying away here. it is all about the easterly breeze coming from a rather cool direction and all the cool north sea. the closer you are to the east coast this week, temperatures will be held down regardless if you have sunshine applied. you can see parts of south—east angry at —— anglia good person rain. plenty of sunshine. under northern ireland. we're keeping this weather patent beyond first. with high—pressure, lots of dry weather alone, some showers towards the south and south—east of england and it will be coast in the east with the flow of england and it will be coast in the east with the floor they are coming in from the sea. the warmest weather

in western parts of the uk. look further ahead, as ever, and finding the forecast on our website. goodbye for now. this is bbc news. the headlines at four: downing street is disputing claims in the german media of a fractious dinner last week with european commission president, jean claude juncker, and theresa may. 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. also, scuffles in paris as rallies are held by both candidates in the presidential election. there have been clashes on the sidelines of a may day parade as protestors demonstrate against far—right presidential candidate, marine le pen, who's made a scathing attack on her rival. police say the burglars who shot dead dorset homeowner guy hedger wore balaclavas, were armed with a shotgun and stole jewellery in a pre—planned raid.
