11:14 am
he would like to be remembered fondly, as i think most people will remember him, as the presenter of an excellent television programme, presenting it in an extraordinary way. he wasn't the lead presenter of things that were particularly serious, he did the board joe key elements of the programme. he will the remembered for his love of animals. great guy, sadly missed. peter purves, thank you for sharing your memories ofjohn noakes, the former blue peter presenter, the longest serving blue peter presenter, who we havejust learned this morning passed away at the age of 83. british airways continues to face questions over the failure of its computer system and how it's handled the fallout. the airline says it's making "good progress" in returning flights to normal after what it described as a "power supply

11:16 am
short—haulflights. calls a high proportion of short—haul flights. it is clear what we have heard that this is turning into some kind of pr disaster for temp two, the fact that nobody has come forward to tell passengers what is happening. we are getting daily updates on twitter. we have been speaking to some passengers this morning to find out how they have been disrupted. i've been here all night. i slept here all night. all the hotels were booked up. the closest hotel was in london and it would have cost me about 400 euros a night. we came in from denver airport with no communication from british airways telling us that our fly—tipping cancelled. after they transferred us through to a line that was close with the evening, we we re that was close with the evening, we were told to dial a number and we finally got through. that was stressful. then the godsend to chicago and from chicago to hear,
11:17 am
and then find a butterfly to edinburgh has been cancelled so now we have to go over to gatwick to, hopefully, another flight. iwork we have to go over to gatwick to, hopefully, another flight. i work in it and they are blaming this on it problems, and it is basic practice to have our disaster recovery solution. they should've had their booking system... high hard is it to send an e—mail? booking system... high hard is it to send an e-mail? they tried to give the best information and a good, but i understand it is difficult for them. i think they did their best. it is just misfortune, i them. i think they did their best. it isjust misfortune, i guess. the chief executive of ba has admitted that these are trying experiences for passengers. what this does do is raise more questions than answers. we hear that it is time to add power supplied problem but how big is this? this has
11:18 am
effectively closed an airline. we need more answers. the gmb‘s union has said is it to do with it outsourcing to india that has caused this? ba says no. they are looking at financial compensation, but this is more than that, it is doing reputational damage to the firm, as well. some estimates say it could cost a given that 300,000 passengers, not just cost a given that 300,000 passengers, notjust here but around the world, have been inconvenienced. the headlines on bbc news: 822—year—old man is arrested in connection with the manchester terror attack in the sure on sea, near brighton. blue peter's longer serving presenter, john noakes, dies at the age of 83. his family says he will be greatly missed. british airways says its flights are

gradually returning to normal after a global system crash, although there are still some cancellations. sports night. —— now. i'll start with cricket, where england are playing their third and final one—day international against south africa at lord's. some of the more established players have been rested ahead of thursday's champions trophy, including all rounder ben stokes. toby roland jones will make his debut. south africa won the toss and put england into bat. they made a great start, south africa, jason roy went on the first over, and to route followed him. when morgan has also gone. the graphic there is slightly wrong, it is now 15—3. britain's aliash bedene is underway in the first round of the french open. he's up against american ryan harrison.

11:21 am
and we are feeling that we getting backed from a lot of people all over britain. we need to think about what we need to do now to win that game. that is what we will be facing. we would not be thinking about what it does to the club were the city if you win, there is also the chance that you lose. sweden's alexander noren has won golf‘s pga championship at wentworth, after shooting a 10—under par 62 on the final day. the world number 13 had what he described as the best round of his life. he started the final day seven shots off the pace, and ended up winning the title by two shots from italy's francesco molinari. england beat the barbarians 28—14 at twickenham in their last match before next month's tour to argentina. eight debutants were named, including nathan earle and nick isiekwe who scored a try each . and nick isiekwe who scored a try each. danny care got england's third. i thought all the players
11:22 am
in the lead up to the game have prepared themselves well. i thought they all played with a lot of effort, a lot of application. they have been learning how to play a different game which is different from their clubs and yeah, we're really pleased with them. it was a disappointing day for sir ben ainslie and his great britain crew at the america's cup as they were beaten in both of their races yesterday. they made almost identical errors on each run, as they lost to the usa and new zealand in the qualifiers. despitejust one win from four races in bermuda, they are still second in the standings. ferrari's sebastian vettel says team orders were not used in order for him to overtake his teammate kimi raikkonen to win the monaco grand prix. vettel extended his world championship lead over lewis hamilton — who finished seventh — to 25 points with the win. while jenson button's one—off return to formula one ended after a collision. after a spectacular crash

11:24 am
of weakening national security because of their approach to the brexit negotiations. the former deputy prime minister nick clegg says britain will be excluded from a vital data base holding information about criminals and suspects if theresa may insists on leaving the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. our political correspondent mark lobel is here. take us through what nick clegg is saying and wife. once again the focus going very much on security. if you cast your mind back to when the uk notified its withdrawal of the uk notified its withdrawal of the eu. there was a hint that theresa may was going to use security as a bargaining chip, but that was quickly slapped down by the eu he said there would be no trade—off. since then we have heard there is every intention in keeping there is every intention in keeping the security ties. conservatives are coming under pressure from nick clegg about how they would access
11:25 am
that information. some of the doubt he said would be legally binding, you can only access it if you were to abide by the rulings of the european court of justice. to abide by the rulings of the european court ofjustice. the kind of thing we are talking about is if you are tracking car number plates ofa you are tracking car number plates of a person of interest crossing borders, that kind of detail. this was his question for the conservatives should they win the election. because this is completely different to sharing intelligence between security services. this is a live database that the police and the border forces across the european union can't use at their computer terminals or their hand—held devices at the push of a button. it is the most effective, sophisticated crime—fighting database most effective, sophisticated crime—fighting data base anywhere most effective, sophisticated crime—fighting database anywhere in europe. we helped create the thing, but of course jude cannot legally upload that are on your citizens and
11:26 am
the people who are subject to some suspicion unless you abide by european union laws on data protection and so on. that is the fundamental conundrum, which is not of mine for europe making, it is a conundrum created by the conservatives. the conservatives initially slaps him down, in saying that was nonsense. yes, there are a number of databases which help to keep all european countries safe and we have been instrumental sometimes in helping build those tools. when we leave the european union we will need to have a new form of agreement to make sure that we have access to those information databases and the information databases and the information databases and the information databases which will be pa rt of information databases which will be part of the eu have access to the information we can feed into them as well. be part of the negotiation. i'm confident we will get a good
11:27 am
outcome because we want to make sure that the uk stay safe, and other european countries well. what are the tories saying? their focus this morning is on what they will do about domestic violence. there are 2 million victims of domestic violence each year but it is reported that only affect the people affected are coming forward. the conservatives say they want to improve the definition of what domestic violence is on their to toughen sentences and create a watchdog on the police themselves to make sure they're doing a good enoughjob. the liberal democrats have said that they have cut local authority funding, so haven't helped themselves in that way. labour is focusing on what they say about the six questions at the conservatives need to answer, whether it is winter fuel payment is
11:28 am
one where extra money would come from for the nhs or if posterity will be planned going forward, or the big issue of social care and where they would put a cap on the costs. all those could be answered when theresa may and jeremy corbyn face this debate tonight. all these questions can be put directly to the leaders themselves tonight. thank you. north korea has launched a short—range ballistic missile into the sea insidejapanese waters prompting the country to lodge a protest. the missile, the ninth to be launched this year, is thought to have been fired from near the coastal city of wonsan. north korea has repeatedly defied a un resolution banning all nuclear and missile activity and analysts say the tests indicate it is making progress towards missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. let's speak to paul rogers, professor of peace studies
11:29 am
at bradford university and a security consultant with oxford research group. it isa it is a 1950s style scud missile. the missile itself is not particularly significant. north korea has a big stock of this kind of missile. it will be home manufactured, but based on all designs. any kind of test like this enables them to further improve their guidance systems, but also there is a symbolism to base. the north koreans want to insist they do have the right, as they see it, defend themselves. this is contrary
11:30 am
to the un resolution and contrary to the attitude of president donald trump, he is determined not to allow north korea to develop the capability to find a killer weapons as far as the united states. the problem with this goes back to 2002 when you had the famous speech of president george bush extending the war on terror to this axis of evil and implying that regimes to be terminated, as happened with iraq. one of the three countries on that axis of evil was north korea, since then the north koreans have been almost paranoid at times, expecting to be attacked. this is why they are insisting that they have the right to develop nuclear weapons. that is a dangerous thing. we are seeing now hide this is coming to head. well this one test is relatively small, it is part of a development which i think
