were a clear sign that there was an issue. yesterday the palace released a statement saying that the duke had been admitted to hospital for planned surgery on his hip. it emerged he had been experiencing discomfort with it for the past month. precise details of the operation have not been released. but clinicians agree the duke's general good health will aid his recovery. well the challenges with an older person — and again i must stress that this is not unusual that people in their 90s are having hip replacements — but the most important thing is the other core mobilities, whatever other ailments the duke might have and what medication he is on. and these would determine what kind of an anaesthetic he would have. more than 20 years ago queen elizabeth the queen mother had two hip replacement operations in her 90s. since then the number of such operations has risen — more than 800 people over the age of 90 had hip replacements if 2016. the queen, who is in windsor,

is being kept informed of her husband's condition. with their grandson due to get married in just over six weeks, it is be hoped the duke will be back to full mobility by then. buckingham palace have confirmed that the operation is under general anaesthetic but other than that the detail with regard to that is to the statement yesterday. we know the operation is due to take place today. there has been no further guidance on timings. we would not expect him to have two weight so it could be the operation has already taken place. it is hoped will receive some kind statement later on describing the operation that has taken place and getting some detail as to the condition of the 96—year—old duke. our top story this lunchtime. britain dismisses russia's proposal for a joint investigation into the salisbury

—— and our prayers are with them and their families. the chief executive of google, which owns youtube, described the attack as an unimaginable tragedy. other messages of support came in from firms such as uber, apple and twitter. dramatic footage of all too frequent shootings in america often appear on sites like youtube. staff have been left in shock that something like this could happen in their own backyard. the liberal democrats have launched their local election campaign — promising to focus on education, social care, and combating rising crime. ahead of the contests which take place in various local authorities across the country on thursday 3rd may. speaking at the launch event at watford's football stadium — the party's leader sir vince cable said his party is the "secret phenomenon in british politics" defying opinion polls. we're doing about twice as well as the public opinion polls suggest we are. and that's the background on which we are going to be competing in these local elections. and i think there is one reason why we do well locally, is that we actually believe in local government.

you know, we've got a system that has become massively centralised. you know, we need to have local councils building homes, but they can't borrow to build because they are prevented from doing so. the 21st commonwealth games have opened, on australia's gold coast. over the next 12 days more than 4,500 athletes from 71 nations and territories will compete for 275 gold medals. for the first time at a major multi—sport event, there will be the same number of men's and women's medal events. 0ur australia correspondent hywel griffith was watching the opening ceremony and sent this report. a welcome to country from the world's oldest living civilisation. these may have started as the empire games, but the modern—day commonwealth wants to project a message the easy—going aussie spirit is alive and well on the gold coast. the athletes have all been encouraged to relax, enjoy, and soak can the sunshine. it's scotland! it's a huge spectacle taking place this year, without the promise of many household names. the organisers insist the games are still relevant and a place where new stars can emerge. when you look at the performances from commonwealth athletes, great commonwealth athletes, the mo farahs, the usain bolts, and everyone in between, you know you have seen an amazing shift.

we have over 60% of the medals won in the iwf world championships are by commonwealth athletes. so the commonwealth is alive and well in terms of performance. please welcome to the gold coast their royal highnesses the prince of wales... it is likely but not guaranteed that prince charles will be the next head of the commonwealth. he came with a message from the queen for a500 athletes. but in some parts of queensland are welcome for the prince has not been so warm. away from the stadium, indigenous campaigners wanted to remind him who owns this land, still a contentious question. inevitably, the visit has rekindled the debate in australia about its relationship with the monarchy. 0ne former prime minister even

suggested prince charles would support the country becoming a republic. it is a question that is likely to be put to the vote until after the prince succeeds the queen. but australia's relationship with britain has shifted. it trades far more with china and follows the us on defence. notwithstanding all the important symbolic relationships represented positively, usefully, by the commonwealth, ultimately it is the economics and the real relationships which will play out over the coming years. for the next 11 days, the politics will be sidelined as the sport gets under way. it will be up to these athletes to help prove these games really do matter.

hywel griffith, bbc news, on the gold coast. ‘s mike 's bushell is in the stadium for us. mike bushell is in the stadium for us. something pretty dramatic, they have been removing the inflatable whale and it has taken more than half an hour to get that backdrop, the spectacular finale to the peace, out of the stadium, they did not even deflate it, took it out fully blown i deflate it, took it out fully blown up! it was a celebration of the past and the present and the relationship between the gold coast and the sea which marked this, and there was a huge sigh of relief when the torrential rain falling you stopped as if by magic seconds before the stadium went live, to 1.5 billion viewers on television sets around the world. in the end, 35,000

spectators and thousands of athletes parading behind their team's flags, could enjoy the spectacle pretty much in the dry, not all the you much in the dry, not all the are watching afternoor let's you are watching afternoon life, and let's just tell you once more about that breaking news, that the former england captain, ray wilkins, has died. that news coming in the last few minutes. a hugely popular figure. yes, he was, simon. terribly sad news regarding ray wilkins. he was taken to hospital in london last week after suffering a heart attack. he was put into an induced coma just at the age of 61. a fantastic midfielder in his day, played for manchester united. he won the fa cup with manchester united, played for them for quite a few years, between

1979 and 1984. many will remember him playing for england as well, 84 caps. he captained the england team ten times as well. he played abroad for paris st germain and milan. qpr fa ns for paris st germain and milan. qpr fans will remember him fondly as well as leyton orient. all sorts of clu bs well as leyton orient. all sorts of clubs that he played for. he did have poor health issues. he suffered from ulcerative colitis in the last few years. he was given the all clear after a double heart bypass operation lastjuly clear after a double heart bypass operation last july but clear after a double heart bypass operation lastjuly but i guess it is the sad news that many of us have been expecting over the last few days after he was rushed to hospital. he won the league as an assistant manager under carlo ancelotti with chelsea. chelsea have tweeted this afternoon to say this sympathy. so young, so talented as a

footballer, such sad news today that ray wilkins has died. a remarkable player. he was the first englishman to be sent off at a world cup. he was indeed, people will remember that. ray wilkins playing for england through the early 80s. 1979, i think, was his england debut. he w011 i think, was his england debut. he won the captain's armband for ten yea rs won the captain's armband for ten years as well. so many memories over the road at manchester united. this loss will be felt very deeply there this afternoon. and qpr as well. 155 appearances for qpr. he had a couple of spells there. but many of those under the age of 30 will remember ray wilkins on the pitch but will remember him as a pundit, he worked for sky sports, an excellent pundit.

i remember watching him a couple of weeks ago on sky sports news. he was working right up until he had this heart attack, which i believe he had a fall as well and was put into this induced coma. he had been at st george ‘s hospital ever since then. and we had the news today that ray wilkins has lost his battle and died at the age of 61. he was an integral pa rt at the age of 61. he was an integral part of a team, notjust as manager, i remember him alongside ancelotti at chelsea when they won the title. i met ray wilkins a couple of times. the one word that everyone will use isa the one word that everyone will use is a gentleman. it is a word that people use a lot when people passed away but he really was a gentleman of the game, a gentleman in life in general. he was such a positive, positive guy. and chelsea fans will remember him very fondly. he worked

with carlo ancelotti in that fantastic season for them. and a lot of players who talk about ray wilkins talk about that passion that he had. you could hear him speak as a punditand he had. you could hear him speak as a pundit and it came across. a very, very nice chap. 0bviously, he had his problems off the pitch, which have been well documented. he was arrested for drink—driving recently. he had his issues, he had his health problems, but that very sad news today. i guess on days like this as well, we have got to look back and remember the great days that ray wilkins had in those teams and the i°y wilkins had in those teams and the joy he brought football supporters across the uk. it is interesting seeing him in an england shirt. when he got the ball and you were watching a match involving that team, you just felt it was in safe hands. you knew he would keep going. exactly. hands. you knew he would keep going.

exa ctly. h e hands. you knew he would keep going. exactly. he was a convert if midfielder. he was only about five foot seven, five foot eight, not a big physical presence on the pitch, but he was almost of the paul scholes kind, having wing mirrors on, and you never thought he was going to give the ball away. when you needed to keep possession, it was ray wilkins wanted to have on the ball. you don't win over 80 caps for your country and captained them ten times without being incredibly talented. it is very sad and eve ryo ne talented. it is very sad and everyone has sent their thoughts to his family. his son, who we heard from last week outside the hospital, and his wife, 61, it is absolutely no age to go. when you saw him on television and listened to him on the radio, he seemed the picture of health. he was talking about

manchester city dominating in this yea r‘s manchester city dominating in this year's premier league title race, and questioned about chelsea, antonio conte, and amazing that in the space of a few days it has come to this. but as i say, everyone, and particularly manchester united, queens park rangers, rangers in scotland, i remember listening to him on the radio a couple of weeks ago talking to ally mccoist. i remember him saying that he thought potentially they needed to leave the scottish premiership, talking about this idea of celtic and rangers going their own way, going in a different direction. he was a very opinionated pundit. i keep referring to him as a nice guy and a gentleman, but that is the first thing that springs to mind when you think of ray wilkins, because he was such a pleasant person to be around, a lwa ys such a pleasant person to be around, always would ask about you, what you have been up to. i remember working

with him on another radio station in london, he was a terrific person, and it was such a sad story, potentially he had these problems off the pitch, and it resulted in this health scare, he had this cardiac arrest, and it has all happened so quickly. and at the age of 61, ray wilkins is no longer with us. we will talk to you later about other sports stories, but for now, thank you. let's look back now at the remarkable life and achievements of ray wilkins. that is absolutely magnificent! 0nly that is absolutely magnificent! only now and then did ray wilkins get the plaudits. his goalfor manchester united in the cup final proof he had the individual skill. for a decade he patrolled england's midfield. under appreciated but an earring, keeping the motor running,

allowing the system to flow. that was my philosophy of the game, keep the ball, make the opposition work so the ball, make the opposition work so when they receive the ball they are tired because they had to work ha rd are tired because they had to work hard to get it back cheaply. i would like people to say that i could pass the ball well. wilkins' leadership skills were spotted early. he captain chelsea as a teenager, driving them back to the first division. after six years there, it was onto manchester united and a big pa rt was onto manchester united and a big part in that. he made his england debut eight years earlier. in his first international tournament, he did this to belgium. but for the most part, it was always wilkins' team—mates that appreciated him notes. at the 1986 world cup, he launched his most infamous past. the referee took that as dissent and wilkins became the first in which men to be sent off in a world cup

finals match. by then he was at ac milan. he went on to win the scottish title with rangers in his 30s, and he was still playing premier league football with greensboro rangers not far short of his 40th birthday. —— greensboro rangers not far short of his 40th birthday. -- queens park rangers. he was alongside carlo ancelotti at his beloved chelsea as they won the double in 2010, and he has been a regular co—commentator and pundit since. at times in his life, wilkins has been troubled by physical and mental health problems. he said his battle against alcohol was tougher than any footballing opponent he faced. but he did so with much support. he will be remembered as one of the best players of his generation, but more profoundly as one the nicest in the game. a look back at the life of ray wilkins. to say there's makes the bag of

whether an offer across the british isles would be an understatement. you can see the white there across a good part of scotland, significant snowfall, centimetres martin guptill. before the weather front gets a cross guptill. before the weather front gets across the border, overnight the weather front will push further south and east. these showers will disappear overnight, but under clearing skies further north, a frosty start to thursday. eventually, that front will take all is whether to the new continents, leaving behind high—pressure. eventually a decent table break—out across the british isles at the back but with the significant breeze across parts of scotland, not the warmest day you will have seen, but for a good part of england and wales the temperatures will at last be in double figures. 0ur
