story. the main picture story. prince philip retires, service with a smile. everyone we've spoken to, the gaffes aside which some people found rather tricky to cope with. we could highlight one or two. some of them have been controversial. he puts people at their ease. he cracks a joke. he puts people at their ease. he cracks ajoke. he could put you at puts people at their ease. he cracks a joke. he could put you at your ease. if he says to you, "well, my word, you're working in a factory in edinburgh, it looks like it has been put together by an indian." we can laugh about it because he is an old quy~ laugh about it because he is an old guy. he had fantastic coverage. the headlines are superb for him and if you consider as digby said how he had to go from being this naval officer, a guy who would have continued to have a brilliant careerment you were in the navy...|j didn't careerment you were in the navy...” didn't marry the queen. to fuming on one occasion. i'm the only man in

the country not allowed to give his name to his children. but at the same time he said my duty is not to embarrass her or to let the queen down so he has been a pretty sterling companion. i'm fortunate enough to have met him. so have i. pat my wife sat next to him at a dinner. she did it with a degree of trepidation because of his reputation for being short. she said he was charming and he put her at her ease and matt in the telegraph is wonderful... let's look at that. they put it right by the photograph. it's a, i mean, all three of us in oui’ it's a, i mean, all three of us in our various ways open things at times. people say i open envelopes. it is the two curtains of an opening with the plaque behind and the little thing he has unveiled and it says, "unveil your own damn plaque." he always had a good one liner and

the papers are working hard to match the papers are working hard to match the kind of things he has said in his time. notjust the kind of things he has said in his time. not just the controversial ones, but the funny ones. when i met him at buckingham palace, i was running a radio station called colourful. he said, "what do you do? 7" colourful. he said, "what do you do? ?"isaid, colourful. he said, "what do you do? ?" i said, "i run a radio station called colourful. " he ?" i said, "i run a radio station called colourful." he said "it's all very colourful in here." there is a nice poem on twitter. let us look at the ft. thames waterfine nice poem on twitter. let us look at the ft. thames water fine over river sewage dwarfed by £1 billion pay—out to owners. digby, before you mention it, i will, to owners. digby, before you mention it, iwill, digby to owners. digby, before you mention it, i will, digby has written a new book. this is the kind of stuff you talk about in your book? fixing business is not about running a business is not about running a business or fixing business is not about running a business orfixing a business is not about running a business or fixing a badly performing business, it is fixing

business's reputation, it is trying to get business to play its proper role and to be seen to do so. in the book i talk about the things you can do, skills, training, environmental sensitivity, all that. but the big, big chapter is on executive pay and how business has got to sort itself out. i'm a capitalist to my core, but if we are going to have business playing its proper role and seen as such and cut slack by politicians accordingly, you cannot have and i talk about volkswagen and i talk about philip green who has done nothing, he hasn't broken the law, but the reputation isn't there and loads of others. i look at this, and i'm pushing you guys to put the ft up i'm pushing you guys to put the ft up because i don't think that business gets its fair share of coverage on the business... we talk

about business every day.” coverage on the business... we talk about business every day. i was going to say, i was the one who said, "i want this covered." thames water paid its owners £1 billion in dividends over ten years. during which time it dumped the equivalent of 21 supertankers of sewage into the thames. this is about accountability and not rewarding people... not rewarding failure in one way. if the shareholders are losing money or the company is doing badly, they still get the big executive pay—out. the company is basically letting down the environment, the community, causing fines, not doing the right thing, and then paying out a load of money. it is just wrong. and then paying out a load of money. it isjust wrong. it's a monopoly remember. when we talk about

accountability, it has not being slapped with a £20 million fine when you can afford to give £1 billion in dividends and the head of ofwat saying, "he is not proposing any solutions. there is nothing that appears that can be done about this company. it doesn't help when you read that the ft says a complex structure which owns it, includes off—shore holdings in luxembourg and the cayman islands. i can't think of one redeeming feature. stay with the ft for a second story. in the briefing section, trump wins vote to replace obamacare? he needed to get this win before his 100th day anniversary. it appears that the freedom caucus has been won over, the question is by what? is it by reducing the amount of coverage that would be given to people by medical aid or reducing the coverage of

preexisting conditions? the resistants are saying come the 2018 medium—term electionings every single republican who voted for this will get punished because a lot of people will be left without coverage. remember, before obamacare, there were a0 million 0bamacare, there were a0 million americans who had no access to health insurance for the ripest country on earth. what he has done is he has got something through, what it doesn't say is how and somebody somewhere has done the deal. someone has... the senate might stand in its way. it will be diluted on the way through. he has done something. it doesn't say what, but the concept of changing this is all very well and good, but america surely cannot go back to being a country where you're rich, per capita, you're rich, you are the world's policemen and a0 million people have no access to health insurance. a lot of people think it

is ok they go without health care.” used to say access to health care because they have access to health care, it isjust because they have access to health care, it is just they can't afford it. they are taking away the tax credits to enable people to afford it. even before mental health. they are trying to make it more afford i don't believe as well to bring the premiums down. we don't know what it will be. the express. eu to face explosive crisis without the £85 billion from the uk. whether it is £85 billion... it's actually. when i used to do corporate deals, when you we re used to do corporate deals, when you were on a sticky wicket and you didn't think you were going to do very well, you got your pr machine of your client out there setting the agenda publicly, constantly trying to shore up your own position in public and everything i have seen from juncker last weekend to this is all about the same thing. it's about basically they're trying to get an agenda where £85 billion becomes the

norment so they are talking about it a lwa ys norment so they are talking about it always so it becomes the norm. the british government is trying to set its own agenda too? i would like to think that's fine for a brit. it is fine for both sides. it is a negotiation. of course, but what i'm trying to say is, everybody repeats this £85 billion. i would start at nought. i would say... this £85 billion. i would start at nought. iwould say... before this £85 billion. i would start at nought. i would say... before that it was 60 or £50 billion. this £85 billion from the financial times. you're surrounded by people who have their democratic right to have a discussion, even a row! what i'm trying to say is, they keep, what the fear is, they will keep repeating... the brexit supporting newspapers that are repeating the £85 billion to put the fear of god into people. this is a paper review so we into people. this is a paper review so we ought to look at the article!

it has been calculated in the daily express that britain contributes 12% of the bloc‘s total budget and could lay claim to £58 billion of the eu's total assets. we loo like half our share out, like having half the house when you have a divorce. they are saying it is £85 billion. i'm going to leap to the last paper now. we have got a longer review at 11.30pm. the daily star fears for 62 more premiership stars. this is after aaron lennon talked about having his mental health problems, he is not alone it says. the pressure, is this what it's about? i remember years and years ago, i think stfs stan collymore and his then manager said, "what's wrong with you?" i lot of

the premiership, even championship footballers, the key reason why lots of people, men and women, become me ntally of people, men and women, become mentally ill and have problems is thwarted ambition, it isn't the money you make, it is what else is going on in your mind, everyone is talking about the push being more open about mental health. there are lots and lots of people particularly young men who struggle with things going on, we have got our demons, but it's even more pernicious if nobody understands you. you can't talk about it to anybody. as footballers you have got to be strong and out there... that last point. it is macho culture. i'm not making a jult here. factually, you can't admit frailty and factually, you are banking this money... and you're not going to get any sympathy. i think it is the tip of the iceberg. also, you know, it's clear, statistically there have got to be quite a few gay premiership footballers, you never ever hear of

one. imagine the pressure that puts one. imagine the pressure that puts on people. if you are gay and you love to come out and be normal, and you can't be... just be yourself. exactly. the mental pressure that's putting on somebody... the suicide rate of gay men is really, really high. in football, it is the last bastion and somebody has got to do something about it. i noticed on a lighter note, john gregory was manager ofjust tell lighter note, john gregory was manager of just tell me lighter note, john gregory was manager ofjust tell me the club... aston villa. thank you. birmingham's finest have to be mentioned. it wasn't finest. what are we going to look at? the weather ina minute. are we going to look at? the weather in a minute. it is such a relief to get through it. they're back again at 11.30pm for round two. i am pleased really. thank you for having us. a pleasure. hello there. good evening, it was a

lovely day for large swathes of the uk with plenty of sunshine. this the view mid—afternoon in nairn on the shores of the moray firthment after a lovely sunny day, we a accident sunset. this is the view in the wirral. we saw a fair bit of cloud further south. very little rain to speak of. just a few spits and spots coming on the breeze towards east anglia and the south east of england. elsewhere, it isa dry south east of england. elsewhere, it is a dry picture. clear skies, the further north you, go lighter winds too. that means the temperature will be dropping away. major towns and cities, no problems. it is around about four, five, six celsius. in rural parts of northern england and rural parts of northern england and rural parts of scotland, we will see temperatures down to freezing or a little bit below. a chilly start to the day. and there maybe low cloud in the north and the north—east of scotland. generally speaking we have got a lot of sunshine and light winds to start the day and it looks good too for northern ireland and

northern england and more of a breeze and a cool feel to things down the north sea coast, but a sunny start. we run into the extra cloud for the southern most counties of england, still breezy, but temperatures around ten celsius, in spite of the cloud it should be fine and dry everywhere. as we go through the day, we will see the cloud there or thereabouts for the southern most counties, plenty of sunshine further north and we have got a breeze particularly in the southern half of the uk and we will see the temperature contrast from east to west. staying on the cool side down the north sea coast. head further west and it is the middle to upper teens. a few places getting to 18 or so degrees. the cloud will come in from the east. it will thicken up and prodaos the odd spot of rain, but many places will be dry. quite windy as well. this weather front is not going to make too much in the way of inroads across the uk. it is only the south—west that sees the wetter weather through the day on saturday. elsewhere, it is a dry

picture. cloudy forsome, saturday. elsewhere, it is a dry picture. cloudy for some, but saturday. elsewhere, it is a dry picture. cloudy forsome, but the best of the sunshine on the western side of scotland. it is cooler along the north sea coast. any rain clears away from the south coast into sunday. the winds fall light for most places. still a breeze for the north sea coastal areas. get away from that towards the western areas we have got spells of sunshine and it's going to be that bit warmer. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 11pm: counting is under way following the local elections. early results in some areas are expected around 2am. the duke of edinburgh announces he's to retire from all public duties with full support from the queen. but it was business as usual for the 95—year—old today, who took his place alongside the queen this lunchtime. president trump moves a step closer to replacing 0bamacare,
