"locked and loaded" — america tells syria it's ready to strike again. the warning comes just hours after the us, uk and france destroy three sites thought to be connected to last week's suspected chemical attack. meanwhile, the debate continues around the uk's decision tojoin the strikes. some mps say they're angry about parliament not being consulted. good morning, it's sunday the 15th of april. also this morning: a pedestrian fights for their life after a car ploughed into six people in essex. opponents of brexit launch a campaign calling for a ‘people‘s referendum' on the final deal. we have had a thrilling end to the

commonwealth games. here on the gold coast, england's netball team has made the final. england have done at! england have done it! they came from behind to beat the home nation here on the gold coast in an absolutely pulsating final. and nick has the weather. good morning. after such a lovely start the weekend, we a step backwards today as a spell of rain spreads north across the uk, call for many of us too but as the week goes on, we are still expecting the warmest weather of the springs so far. i have yourforecast warmest weather of the springs so far. i have your forecast for today and the week ahead coming up. thank you, nick. see you later. good morning. first, our main story. president donald trump has warned syria the us is "locked and loaded" and prepared to strike again if there are any further gas attacks in the country.

britain, france and the united states have called on the un to hold an independent investigation into last week's suspected chemical attack in douma. however, russia is expected to veto the call. our correspondent chris buckler reports. the british, french and american forces were deployed to send a message to president asaad. there was no way they were going to leave those chemical weapons in damascus. one hour of chemical —— bombing, deliberate in their targeting, all facilities connected to chemical weapons. the united states and our allies will not tolerate the use of chemical weapons against innocent men, women and children. and we are prepared to deter any further use. this was one of the sites where the missiles landed. the syrian government says this building in damascus was home to science labs

and training facilities. the western allies claim it was a place where technology for chemical and biological warfare was being developed. after the alleged attack in douma, there are still concerns about chemical weapons. and that means there is still a threat of further action. the united states is locked and loaded. straight talking has replaced diplomatic language of the un security council. here, are proposals for a new resolution that would call for a full investigation into the alleged attacks. atjudging by recent clashes, it is likely to be vetoed by syria's ali rashsh. theresa may has now published the government's legal case for approving the air strikes. but she knows she will face questions at westminster this week about why parliament was not given a say. no war! after the briefest of bombing

campaigns, some are asking what has been a key —— achieved by these air strikes and whether the west really has a strategy the syria. our political correspondent mark lobel is in westminster for us this morning. mark, will the pm be concerned about public and political support for her decision to take military action? it is worth remembering that theresa may made this decision to send raf jets into western syria to strike at this suspected weapons, chemical weapons ingredients facility not because she had public consent or she knew she had public support but just because she thought was the right thing to do to send a message to the international community that chemical weapons are not prohibited, not allowed i should say, and to stop other people from using them so she didn't consult parliament behind the wood was controversial because her predecessor david cameron in 2013 did so and didn't get approval for a 2013 did so and didn't get approval fora similar 2013 did so and didn't get approval for a similar question that he asked them, and also because there has been a convention since the iraq war

in 2003 that mps should be consulted before military action. they don't have to be that it was the convention. the legality of the strike is being questioned byjamie corb lund. he wonders whether there was the immediacy that the government talks about and whether it helped save lives. i have published their legal advice, saying these were targeted strikes and they met international law on humanitarian grounds. but for theresa may a part from the support of the cabinet which we know she did have, any other support amongst mps is anyone's guess. thank you, mark. we'll be looking at the legal justification for military strikes against syria at about 6:40 this morning. stay with us for that. one young person is fighting for their life in hospital and another has potentially life—changing injuries after a car ploughed into six pedestrians in essex. two of the group had to be airlifted to hospital after the incident in ca nvey island. ben ando has more. crash investigators at the scene

marking down the track of a car that veered off the road and struck six people on the pavementjust yards north of the seafront at canvey island. it is unclear what happened or why at five of those hit were hurt, one critically, another with life changing injuries, and a major incident was declared. three helicopters and for land ambulances we re helicopters and for land ambulances were scrambled to the scene. helicopters and for land ambulances were scrambled to the scenem helicopters and for land ambulances were scrambled to the scene. it is quite quiet along the seafront and not seen anything round here at all like this. i was quite shocked when i saw it. as soon as i saw the helicopters fly over a border had been serious. in a tweet, essex police urge people to avoid the area but far not commented on suggestions from some eyewitnesses that the driver involved was being chased by a patrol car at the time of the crash. the two most seriously hurt victims are now being treated in hospitals in london. so far no one has been arrested. sir martin sorrell, the highest paid boss of a british public company, has resigned after being investigated for personal misconduct.

sir martin announced he had stepped down as chief executive of wpp with immediate effect, saying it was in the "best interests of the business" for him to go. last year wpp, the world's largest advertising agency, cut sir martin's salary by nearly a third to £48.1 million. opponents of brexit are launching a campaign to push for a referendum on the final deal. around 1,000 campaigners are expected to attend an event in london later today to demand what they call a ‘people's vote' on the agreement, which the government and the eu hope to reach by october. 65 million people will be affected by brexit and it affects everybody of whatever generations it is absolutely critical that we get this right and absolutely critical that we get this rightandi absolutely critical that we get this right and i think people are becoming uneasy and they are becoming uneasy and they are becoming worried about the deal because they know, even on the government's own admission, it is not going to be as good, we are not

going to be as prosperous as we currently a re going to be as prosperous as we currently are in the eu. police are investigating threatening text messages sent to the wife of a premier league referee after he gave out a red card. michael oliver issued the penalty as real madrid knocked juventus out of the champions league last wednesday. the move was criticised by the italian goalkeeper and some of the country's media. the bbc understands oliver's wife, who is also a referee, had her mobile phone number posted on social media after the game, which led to the abusive texts. watmore story to give you this morning. ——1 more story. two men who robbed a travel agent in manchester got their comeuppance when their ill—gotten gains blew away. listen to this. the two thieves had stuffed the stolen cash down their trousers i ,as , as you do, but as they left, a gust of wind blew a lot of it down the street. greater manchester police are appealing for information on the robbers. it comes to this decision, do you

run, do you trace the money? maybe don't steal it in the first place. maybe don't shove it down your pa nts. maybe don't shove it down your pants. just don't steal! not surprising on what is in front of the papers at the moment, the decision by the uk to have coordinated strikes on syria with the united states and france. on the observer, the front page has, as a lot of papers, the initial strike, the headline is may faces anger over syria raids, talking about how the prime minister is going to have a lot of a backlash apparently from mps in parliament, without having gained the consent, that is the issue. the male has may faces backlash, the snubbing is in these blitzes over syria —— the mail. storm shadow missiles and allies bracing for russia's revenge. trump

quote there, mission accomplished, and of course we will be talking to someone from the conservative party and the labour party later today to talk about the decision and controversy about theresa may not consulting parliament before partaking in this coordinated strike. the sunday telegraph again, locked and loaded about syria, those are the words that nikki haley used in the un during an emergency vision of the security council talking about how donald trump has said last night that they will act again if they need to. the front pages of the daily star, striking back at evil, the son is gone in 120 seconds, asaad is set back years, and holiday brits terror alert. —— the sun. as the jet blew from the base in cyprus, british tourists were on the word for an airlift out. a really emotive picture here on the front page of the times, the girl that you

can see if seven years old, she was a big of the chemical attack in her home town of douma. it also talks about how spy chiefs are braced for about how spy chiefs are braced for a russian revenge attack in response to what happened in syria. those are the page is being governed as you would expect by syria this morning. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: president trump has warned syria's government the us is "locked and loaded" to strike again if it carries out further chemical attacks. police are investigating after a car ploughed into six young people in canvey island. one of them is in a critical condition. here's nick with a look at this morning's weather. that big yellow blob in the sky made an appearance! it was glorious! i will have to look it up in the meteorology handbook, i wasn't quite

sure what was going on. game of thrones‘s perpetual winter seems to be coming to an end. it will get better nick? as we go through the week ahead i have to say after the glorious sunshine yesterday, where we saw the uk's highest of the year so far, 19.5dc, today we are taking a step upwards i'm afraid, or cloud in the sky, that big yellow thing will be harder to make out, reiji also and a bit of rain spreading its way northwards. just in case yesterday was a shock to the system it will calm things down a little bit today. no pressure to the west of us, a band of cloud coming from that into the uk and it is already producing rain into parts of south—west england. we are going to see a bright and even sunny start the some of us particularly through northern and eastern parts but the cloud will be on the increase moving its way northwards with the outbreaks of rain. i do think it will amount to much. shari in nature. as the afternoon starts to

brighten up, northern ireland, wales and the south—west, but heavy and maybe thundery showers move in. just the north and north—east of scotland is fine through the day with some sunshine and temperatures here maybe 18 degrees are warmest weather likely to be here today and the best of the sunshine elsewhere. a few degrees down compared with yesterday. tonight, eventually we bring the outbreaks of rain into northern scotland. we will keep a few showers coming elsewhere, particularly in western parts but there will be some clear spells around. temperatures holding up to 6- around. temperatures holding up to 6— nine degrees. windy today, particularly in northern ireland, gusts around a0 or a5 kilometres, blustery. tomorrow into western scotla nd blustery. tomorrow into western scotland and scotland particularly shari rain around, —— shari. cloudy with sunny spells but more sunshine once again, temperatures going up a

few degrees. this was assistant to the west of us, another weather front is coming in from the low pressure systems so as we go into tuesday, things will turn wet again, windy for northern ireland and parts of scotland, perhaps wales and north—west england as well. the widespread warm up isn't yet underweight on tuesday though, head of the weather system through the southern and eastern parts of england we will start to feel the warmth on tuesday that it could well be on tuesday that we at a temperature finally around 20 degrees. more of us break out into the warmth of high pressure building entering the second half of the week ahead, talking about the possibility of 2a degrees, it could well be we get to 25! perhaps even as far north as some spots in northern england as well. during the second half of the week ahead. that's what we like to hear, nick, thanks very much, 25! now! don't envy mike on the gold coast as much.

mike, you think you've had it good on that beach all the time, which why am on that beach all the time, which whyami on that beach all the time, which why am i looking? there we go, he has been playing on the beach for the last ten days, observing some amazing athletes, tell you what, in the newsroom we had cheers when we won the netball, england, one at the netball. it was amazing, we will reflect on that at 6:30 a.m., considering it was their first ever majorfinal, to beat the hosts and the world champions in their own backyard, the australian media weren't expecting that. we are playing badminton on the beach with two commonwealth games champions. england's chris and gabby adcock have defended their commonwealth games badminton mixed doubles title. there are the golds, you have retained your commonwealth games title, must feel fantastic? retained your commonwealth games title, must feelfantastic? it is retained your commonwealth games title, must feel fantastic? it is a surreal feeling, it hasn't quite sunk in, we will get back with the team and celebrate shortly. what was

it like when you knew you had done it, chris? a release of emotion, a tough start to the season with injuries and different things and then coming back to retain the title ata then coming back to retain the title at a major event alongside gabby is an unbelievable feeling. two medals as well from the other evidence you competed in, what is so special that brings out the best in you from the commonwealth games? the history, growing up you watch it on tv and use the people being successful and being part of team england feels so special and it gets you in the heart. gabby, is there something when you hearjerusalem, the england national anthem? definitely, watching the flag go up and feeling overwhelming dominic overwhelmed with pride for team england, never gets boring, very special, amazing to stand on the podium —— overwhelmed with pride. a shocking year, funding was withdrawn, then reinstated, funding for tokyo now so

you must feel a spring in your step? over the last 12 months badminton has got some momentum after a previous tough year. the team has been incredibly successful and we're happy we could stand on the podium and be part of that and a great shout out to badminton as a sport, we are on the up and with tokyo coming quickly, not quite round the corner. . . coming quickly, not quite round the corner. .. does it coming quickly, not quite round the corner... does it help coming quickly, not quite round the corner. .. does it help being a couple, you can talk about it in the car, do you talk about it over brea kfast, car, do you talk about it over breakfast, do you talk about anything else? having this journey together and being out here for a few weeks now, it's amazing we can go for meals together and we have enjoyed the beach together and things so it helps. moments like this are those special. another tattoo for you now, chris, a koala ora tattoo for you now, chris, a koala or a kangaroo? maybe, i've got the gold from glasgow on my arm so maybe something more original, maybe a koala somewhere. you fly back

star power. we buckle up for a french tension of the highest order, custody, it's about a bitter divorce and a father and son are trying to reconnect, but can they? and our thoughts turn skyward for the titan, a secret mission to populate one of saturn's moons with human life. quite a mixed bag. rampage, what do you make of that? this is a monster movie mashup of every monster movie you've ever seen before. think king kong gorilla, thinkjumanji because it's got the rock in it, or dwayne johnson as we must now call him. it got alligators, that are genetically mutated into something enormous. this is a monster movie, yes, but it's also a disaster movie because it's got all the world exploding and things going wrong. it's about a space experiment that's gone terribly wrong, as they tend to do, so don't do any experiments in space. don't try this at home. yes, genetically modified pathogens fall to earth in wyoming, and the everglades where one is swallowed by an alligator, and in the san diego zoo gorilla sanctuary where former special ops secret servicemen dwayne johnson is now working as a primatologist. is he now? yes. it all goes wrong and he has to end

up running around with a scientist played by naomi harris, who gets her gets her moneypenny on and starts bantering with him like she's in a bond movie. how the hell do we get off of this roof? maybe we don't have to get off the roof. what? we definitely do. come on, come on. david, there's no tail on this helicopter. that's right, we don't need one. you do if you want to fly. we're not going to fly, we're going to crash. what?! we just need to get enough lift to stay on top of the building as it falls. you know, just like riding an avalanche. no, i don't know. ok, i'm never getting in a plane with him, i've established that much. i wouldn't get in one with her either.

she's bad luck, that one. this is what happens when you get an oscar nomination. you suddenly get to run around with the rock. clearly, because naomi harris, last seen in moonstruck. moonlight, even. that would be perfect for her as well. is itfun? it is deliriously fun. it could be awful, you never know with the rock. it could be a bad film or a great film. the thing is he's become the biggest movie star in the world right now and he pulled this movie single—handedly like hercules would with a blockbuster on his back all the way over the line. it is deliriously silly. he can play charades with the gorilla here. i think it is three words, book, warfilm, tv, and peace, clearly, he's got that softness to him. i don't know what to make of this. it really, really works. the gorilla kind of eats the pathogen, goes outside becomes king kong, kind of takes out chicago. it has stupid lines like, "we've gotta get to chicago before the alligator and the

wolf level the city." but it works. oh, my god. it somehow works. mainly because of the rock's star power, mainly because of its preposterousness and maybe because, like very good monster movies, all the way back to godzilla it somehow it is about man's folly. it's about american id run wild, it's about metaphor, it's about consumerism and greed, scientific experiments gone wrong, which one is trump, which one is putin? i don't know. it'd take the rock to sort them out. and he does it brilliantly. this is what saturday night at the movies is all about. you go and see this, you come out thinking, "i'm so glad i spent my money on this. i'm with my mates or my dates." this is what it's all about and i guarantee you a strong hit rate if you recommend this to your friends. 0k. i'm not sure about it as a date film, but anyway. i willjust take your word for that, jason. having said that i'm not sure, striking though it looks, that the next film is a date film at all. no. that looks like a very, very tough watch. it's the bad result of a date movie,

this is about a custody battle, a bitter divorce gone wrong. it's a french movie called custody starring an actor who you may remember was the father in the opening scene of quentin tarantino's inglorious bustards, where he was the father protecting his family in one of the best scenes tarantino has ever done. he protected his family there under the threat from the ss officer. here he is the father again providing the threat himself. he plays a father called who's been awarded custody of his 12—year—old son played by that young actor. the son is petrified of his father. he can't seem to tell the courts why and they will not listen because the father has a right to see the kid and the mother has to share everything. it is a very strange award from the court that he's managed to charmingly flirt his way to and here we see the sun absolutely petrified. i've never really seen a scene like this before as a father to a young child as well. this was awfully tense as well.

the threat that he brings here, every time he pops up or every time he sends a text message, he can ruin the family atmosphere, just the threat of his father. while we never see what domestic terrorism or abuse, it's clearly got this terrible effect on the family, but it plays out like a thriller, almost like a sort of serial killer movie in a way. it reminded me slightly of fatal attraction, but in a very french, realistic way. i thought it was very, very tense. i don't know when you would go to see this at the cinema. not a date movie, but very, very well performed by all, in particular the kid who is outstanding in this. ok, a tough watch but domestic violence an important topic, but it depends. as we see the effect of violence, the dread of that and that's what makes it all the more powerful. very, very different third choice. absolutely. it's a rich and diverse palette here. this is a netflix film called the titan, also out on the big screen as well. it is out on netflix and probably playing somewhere in space as well because it's about a mission, secret mission run by tom wilkinson to populate saturn's moon.

earth is... we're in 20a8 here, there is no water left, there's too many people. we need to populate another planet and the only one we can do is saturn's moon titan which is just like earth but a lot colder. a bit like aberdeen. i'm saying nothing. they have to genetically modify people again. we see genetic modification. theme of the week. they genetically modify sam worthington, a group of top gun applicants who all undergo these experiments, and they try to lower their body temperature so all they can do is feel really hot or really cold on earth, even when they turn the air conditioning up, which makes them a prime candidate to take the ice bucket challenge with their wife at midnight. go on. i don't want to put my hands in there. go on, i want to show you something. go on.

i don't want to put my hands in there. go on, i want to show you something. geez! fine. so cold! fine, now what? i don't feel any cold. i feel cold just watching that scene. you don't want those clammy hands on you, do you? he said he didn't feel any cold, i didn't feel anything watching this movie at all.

he gets colder and colder and eventually they sort of turn into fish, which there is a lot of that going on these days with the shape of water. isn't there? a theme of inter—species romances going on. i think it is an interesting movie, i think it's an interesting idea. you have a sci—fi that does not become a sci—fi, there are no ships leaving earth. it is all here, done in gran canary, a sort of moonlight rock in the atlantic ocean. there's an interesting experiment and it's a netflix movie, so it got sort of a spanish actor and a german actor and a mexican actor. it has taylor schilling playing the wife, who's a big netflix star from orange is the new black, and sam worthington there and tom wilkinson is the general in charge of this experiment. you've got to have a brit. yes. a brit in charge. he looks really, sort of, distasteful in the script as if an offence to a man who should

be playing king lear by now. yes, frankly. it does not really work. it's not fun in the way that rampage is. no, it doesn't have a sense of its own absurdity. you have to bring that all yourself. there's plenty of room for laughing at it, itjust does not want you to. not in the right way. in terms of best out, let's talk about a film that we didn't get a chance to talk about on the film review a couple of weeks ago, and you've chosen something really interesting. yes, this is i think one of the films of the year. i'm very surprised it did not win at cannes last year with the announcement of that coming out this week as well. it is called 120 bpm in english. and it's about the havoc wrought by the aids virus in the ‘90s paris and an activist group which is a real life story, and their bid to get recognised and get help for their dying community. it is a gay film about the gay community, it does feature some sort of fairly, not graphic, but i would say blunt gay relationships. gay sex.

as you would expect in a film about aids, but it was so extraordinarily realistic. i felt as if i was watching a documentary and that is not a criticism, but an observation. that is how real it felt. the director was part of the group at the time. and what's great about the film, the very details of how it works, in the meetings they all clicked their fingers rather than protest. it is about the urgency of a community facing death and not being heard, really. yes, it has gay sex but it has love in it too. it has outstanding club scenes as well when it's about this joy of life, fear of death and how to face it and the relationships forged in that adversity and they are very real and very real memories for many people as well. i think it's a tremendously important film, not a self—important film, a joyous film and really one of the most important and interesting of the year. very important and the dvd briefly inspired by a real event that people, everyone will remember as well, the boston marathon bombing. yes, in 2013. the real—life story of a man whose legs were blown off at the finish line, but who recognised one

of the bombers and led police to solve that case. he's played brilliantly by jake gyllenhaal in a performance everyone was oscar tipping and for some reason he did not get that nomination and the film fell by the wayside. it's much better than that, he's tremendous in it as he always is, very reliable and helps it all the way through. very interesting film of all victims. and interesting mixed bag. good to see you, thank you very much indeed for being with us. that is it for this week. enjoy your cinema going, whatever you decide to go see. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast with babita sharma and naga munchetty. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. president donald trump has warned syria he is prepared to strike again if there are any further chemical attacks in the country. the warning that the united states is "locked and loaded" comes after more than 100 missiles were launched at three sites in damascus and homs. the uk, france and the us have called on the un to hold

an independent investigation into last week's suspected chemical attack in syria. however, russia is expected to veto the call. borisjohnson has defended the uk's involvement in military action against syria, saying strikes were necessary. writing in the sunday telegraph, the foreign secretary warned of "moral contamination" if the use of chemical weapons went unchecked. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has called the strikes "legally questionable" and the prime minister is expected to face questions from mps when they return to westminster tomorrow. both the foreign secretary boris johnson and the labour party leader jeremy corbyn will be on the andrew marr show at 9 o'clock this morning. one person is fighting for their life in hospital after a car ploughed into six pedestrians in essex. two of them had to be airlifted to hospital after the incident in ca nvey island. one is said to be in a critical condition and the other is said to have a potentially life—changing leg injury. sir martin sorrell, the highest paid boss of a british public company, has resigned

after being investigated for personal misconduct. sir martin announced he had stepped down as chief executive of wpp with immediate effect, saying it was in the "best interests of the business" for him to go. last year, wpp, the world's largest advertising agency, cut sir martin's salary by nearly a third to £a8.1 million. opponents of brexit are launching a campaign to push for a referendum on the final deal. around 1,000 campaigners are expected to attend an event in london later today to demand what they call a ‘people's vote' on the agreement, which the government and the eu hope to reach by october. 65 million people will be affected by brexit and it affects everybody of whatever generations so it is absolutely critical that we get this right and i think people are becoming uneasy and they are becoming worried about the deal because they know, even on the government's own admission, it's not going to be as good, we are not going to be as prosperous, as we currently are in the eu. police are investigating threatening

text messages sent to the wife of a premier league river murray after he sent out a red card. the move was criticised by the italian goalkeeper and some of the country's media. the bbc understand my goal‘s wife is also are very had her mobile phone number was en route from lakra four little media after the game which led to a abusive text messages. ukip has confirmed gerard batten as its new leader, but he has said he will resign in 12 months. the mep, who had been interim leader since february, said that as he was elected unopposed, he would step down so a full contest can take place. he's the fourth person to lead the party in less than two years. henry bolton was ousted in february following a racism row. time now is 6:33. these commonwealth games have been amazing. the netball was amazing, the cheering in the

newsroom was slightly raucous but it is meant to be that way, isn't it, mike? we are completely buying into this. naturally since to england. mike? we are completely buying into this. naturally since to englandm is an incredible performance by the team, something they have been building up to four years. somebody said this morning it was like england's football is going to germany and winning the world cup final in the last seconds against the germans because australia have been at the top of the world netball for so long and this was their home court and to win it in the way that england did, i don't want to take anything away from the action because james burford can tell us the story. never before had england reach the commonwealth games grand final, never before have they won anything but a bronze but, —— bronze medal but with a last cast, they won it. england have done it! they have staged a gold medal from australia! the greatest result in their history, a wind to rewrite the records. it is my dream come true,

because of work so hard over the last international phase, they put in there, against the world number one who, the renowned, not weaken in the whole cycle they were in and to beat them at that time was stupendous and i think the preparation yesterday really was fantastic and so really proud of them, really, really proud. sa teamwork makes the dream work and so we proved for husband—and—wife combination of chris and gabby adcock, the defending champion smashing their way to goal in the mixed badminton, eating teammates marcus ellis and lauren smith. marathon is a ruling at the best of times but these are the toughest of conditions. scotland's callum hawkins leading that only one mile to go crawly collapsing with exhaustion. the medical staff making a much—needed intervention in the near 30 degrees temperatures. country and ross hawkins was able to medal, he battled through to bronze in the searing heat. the gold coast

may be more than 10,000 miles away but it has been a commonwealth games brimming with british success. there was a lot of concern earlier on the road about callum in the marathon, the scottish athlete leading but then collapsing into heat. 10 scotla nd then collapsing into heat. 10 scotland have tweeted that he has been taken to hospital for a medical review. it is standard procedure though. it has been sitting up and talking to his dad, and supported by tea m talking to his dad, and supported by team medical staff and the quote is no major concerns at this stage but more information in due course. back home, there was a dramatic end to the grand national at aintree as tiger roll won courtesy of a photo finish after holding off a late surge by pleasant company. he was 10—1 at the start of the race, and it's a first grand national win for the experienced jockey davy russell and a second for trainer gordon elliott. pep guardiola will be playing golf this afternoon, even though his manchester city team will win the premier league title, if manchester united lose to west brom.

he is certainly taking his mind off things! city took a step closer with a 3—1 win over spurs at wembley yesterday. raheem sterling with their third goal. but guardiola insists he won't be watching the game at old trafford. tottenham's defeat allowed liverpool to open up a 3—point gap in third place. mo salah scored his 30th premier league goal of the season — his a0th in all competitions — as they beat bournemouth 3—0 at anfield. southampton are in real trouble, though — they threw away a 2—goal lead to lose 3—2 at home to chelsea. substitute olivier giroud with the winner. saints are now five points from safety after the sides around them all picked up points. from despair to celebration. these are some of the wolves players you can see celebrating here, and with good reason — they won promotion to the premier league without even kicking a ball. why? well, brentford's late equaliser against fulham confirmed wolves‘ return to the top

flight after six years. they'll have a spring in their step when they play birmingham city later today. and sebastian vettel will start on pole for the chinese grand prix which starts at 7:10 this morning. his ferrari team—mate kimi raikkonen'sjust behind him, with lewis hamilton starting from fourth after struggling once again in his mercedes in qualifying. back here on the last day on the beach, broadbeach, you can see a client/server tackling those waves, dramatic stuff, a dramatic end to these commonwealth games but the action is now officially over, it has closed, the closing ceremony is to come on the bbc in a few hours time and you can see the baton being handed over to birmingham. australia did but they said they would do, more gold medals in all of the teams put together, a bold claim considering four years ago they were

behind england in the medals table but this time, they have won it hands down by a country mile. more after seven o'clock. mike, we did well. we will talk to jackie kennedy from living in city council about the handover and head of the next commonwealth games. —— birmingham city council. all eyes remain on syria today as the fallout from the military action taken by the us, uk and france continues. government documents say that air strikes were legally justified on humanitarian grounds, but there are many people who disagree. let's try to get some clarity now from international law professor james sweeney. good morning. good morning. was it legal? short answer, no. the use of force in international law is tightly controlled. i also from the outset, just because something is lawful doesn't mean it is a good idea and just because it is unlawful doesn't mean it is necessarily a bad idea. to give it an example, i do a lot of work in kosovo and i know for certain that a lot of the friends

that i now have there wouldn't be here today had we not have intervened without permission from the un security council back in 1999. but as for whether the attacks we re 1999. but as for whether the attacks were lawful or not, your cast—iron justification for the use of force which is kind of what we call it, but his self—defence and it doesn't really apply here. you are saying it was not legal or lawful? can you say that categorically? my honest opinion as an academic lawyer is that we are on very, very thin ice. the only way to justify it, sorry, cast iron just means the full —— force is self defence or the un security council justifies force is self defence or the un security counciljustifies it, you make? so you are saying there is a debate? exactly. the left in the realms of are there any other emerging rules? in the 90s the uk push the idea that there was a right of humanitarian intervention that is

what we sighted in relation to the action in 1999. —— cited. it is not universally accepted and the international commission that investigated the intervention —— ‘99 intervention was illegal but legitimate and it is possible in the future we will come to view these strikes in the same way and the other issue is this business to do with chemical weapons. other issue is this business to do with chemical weaponslj other issue is this business to do with chemical weapons. i want to talk about that in a moment if i can but first i wanted to ask what you made of the government's justification as they stated, for going into syria and a end. last night the attorney general published the advice. they gave several reasons. predominately based on humanitarian intervention but you know i would say, my students as a question of syria to lancaster, it is there a right to humanitarian intervention and the short answer is

maybe? probably... so where there is evidence or apparent evidence of use of chemical weapons, it doesn't stack up to and off in your opinion? that's right. there are lots of types of international law, there isn't just one types of international law, there isn'tjust one international law, there is no international parliament, so you have law... there is no international parliament, so you have lawmm isn't right using chemical weapons on your own people and although that has not been proven, it is alleged, it is the justification the government has used ? it is the justification the government has used? or theresa may has used? government has used? or theresa may has used ? the government has used? or theresa may has used? the safest course of the argument, if i were the attorney general, i would say there is an emerging rule of customary international law that allows you to use force to stop others using chemical weapons but the advantages that cannot be seized upon by russia to justify what it is doing in ukraine. whereas if we say we have a right of humanitarian intervention, well, and that that is covered by international law, then we are close to russia being able to justify its

behaviour in ukraine in the same way. i suppose that remains to be seen, whether or not but stands in international court of law. i'm wondering what you envision is the consequence is being now for this kind of action. if it is deemed illegal. of course. in the long—term, if i were in latvia, lithuania or estonia, i would be very nervous because if russia seizes upon these as backing to the idea of humanitarian intervention thenit idea of humanitarian intervention then it will use that as a pretext for action elsewhere. what about what happened here? in this country, do you mean? in terms of when the challenge comes against the government. there is a political issue in this country because parliament hasn't been consulted. we have this recent convention that parliament should be consulted before we use lethal force overseas. a constitutional convention is a big deal, it is what the uk constitution

is basically made off, you cannot enforce it in court that they are a thing. this convention is of pretty recent vintage though. i don't think there would be a constitutional crisis as a result of theresa may's relu cta nce crisis as a result of theresa may's reluctance to consult parliament. on the other hand, i can imagine on monday when the mps are back, there will be some pretty spicy discussion i would imagine in the house of commons. many were upset they were not consulted. yes, i'm sure we will see ramifications from this to come for a number of days. thank you for joining us. let's have a look at the weather. here's nick. brightening up?m let's have a look at the weather. here's nick. brightening up? it was yesterday with warm sunshine coming through for a change. one step forward and half a step back today, although it's a bright start for many, already outbreaks of rain in south—west england,

south—west wales and northern ireland moving north, the breeze picking up, especially in western parts. closer to this area of low pressure, you can tell it is thereby the swirl of cloud, around it it's pushing this rain bearing rain front our way, this area of cloud, even where you are dry in the north and east of the uk, that one the last because cloud and outbreaks of rain feeding north, behind it brightening up feeding north, behind it brightening upa bit feeding north, behind it brightening up a bit in wales, south—west england and northern ireland, but some heavy showers following the rain but the rain doesn't get their overnight on to the north and north—east of scotland. the driest and brightest weather today here, sunshine continuing this afternoon, in sunny spots 17 or 18 but most lower in the temperature range compare the two yesterday, mid to low teens once against be quite windy, particularly in northern ireland. tonight we take some of the rain into northern scotland, some showers is worth in western parts,

clear spells developing and overnight temperatures of 6—9. into tomorrow, some early showery rain into parts of scotland, slowly clearing, for many it is a dry monday, a mixture of cloud and sunshine, still windy in northern ireland and western scotland and if anything the wind increasing later in the day in northern ireland ahead of this wall of rain. temperatures will be higher tomorrow because more will be higher tomorrow because more will get the sunshine once again. we've talked about a warmup in the weather this week but another weather this week but another weather system to get to through the uk before that happens and here it is. this weather front coming in, going through monday night into tuesday, will bring heavy rain into northern ireland and parts of scotla nd northern ireland and parts of scotland perhaps wales and north—west england as well with quite strong winds, whereas it doesn't make much progress into the rest of england and wales. to stay is quite a contrast because eastern england will see some sunshine and temperatures could make 2a the first

time this year. isles where we held down by the cloud —— tuesday is. once the system has eased away and for the rest of the week high pressure builds in, that's where we see our transformation and where we see our transformation and where we see temperatures are rising. the hotspots will be entering the mid—20s, not everyone will get that high, but here's a flavour of some of the temperatures were likely to see, on the warmest day, most likely thursday. —— we're likely to seize. temperatures around 20 but the warmest places are likely to see 2a, 20 five —— we're likely to see. the warmest weather of the spring so far. we've been talking about it for a few days and very much on the cards later in the week. thanks very much nick, 25! did you say it would be the first time it has hit 25 this year? probably on tuesday in eastern england, so far we've only got 219.5 yesterday, late in the year that we

haven't hit 20. that we've only got to 19.5. ifeel robbed! it's coming, it's coming —— we've only got to 19.5. and cooking hell the australian town taking its tourism up a gear. and the african national park fighting back against poachers. i thought it would be this depleted park. in fact, it's just teeming. i'm in alice springs, the red centre of australia's enormous and sparse northern territory. indigenous populations have lived here for thousands of years,

and in the late 19th century, the town became an important stop on australia's telegraph line connecting darwin and adelaide. if you drop a marker right in the middle of australia you probably land right around this point here. north about 1500 kilometres you reached darwin. head over here, same amount, juric adelaide. and in that direction as the crow flies, 2500 kilometres, you reach sydney. the re m ote ness kilometres, you reach sydney. the remoteness of the town means it's not a common stock on the australian tourism trail, the numbers far below those of rival towns in australia. between 2007 and 2013, visits by international tourists to the northern territory fell quite drastically year—on—year. down by nearly a quarter. the german

government wants its citizens to be careful at night due to attacks on tourists but numbers are starting to creep back up. part of that fight back here in alice springs is all to do with this. yes, alice springs has launched a plan to turn itself into a world—class mountain biking hub. the combination of beautiful landscapes and fantastic weather has made the trails around alice springs a local favourite for years, made the trails around alice springs a localfavourite for years, but made the trails around alice springs a local favourite for years, but the town has wanted to attract more local visitors —— foreign visitors. the territory hopes to bring 70 million dollars a year through biking tourism. clerk petric from outback cycling leads tours throughout the trails here. today is

a particularly hot day, about a0 degrees in the middle of the desert, why would anyone want to come out and tried mountain biking here? well, in the winter, the weather is absolutely perfect. so we don't have the storms, the rain, the cold, just beautiful 25 degrees days, really consistent weather. in the summer it's more challenging, it gets more interesting. there's some of the best riding in australia is here. there's 200 km of beautiful single track, that you don't find anywhere else. and you see the future of mountain biking here? mountain biking is a key component of adventure tourism. people are less sedentary, they don't want to just view these sites, they want to interact with them, experience them and the trails themselves. there are lots of small trails and challenging rock gardens, and people can find these undiscovered mountain biking scene. tourism bosses want alice springs to gain international mountain biking

association ride centre status, they've developed a five—year masterplan to try and achieve it. finally this week, michelle jana chan is in zakouma national park in chad. over recent years the area has experienced war, crime and terrorism.

tourists have been warned away but another threat has been to its wildlife, which has suffered severe poaching. but for the animals, things mayjust be looking up. seeing an abundance of wildlife like this in an african park and you might think of botswana, kenya or half a dozen other places before you think of chad. but there is spectacular wildlife here. and lots of it. i've come to find out how the population of elephants and other animals in the park have rebounded in recent years to rival even the finest national parks on the continent. i thought it would be this depleted park that had suffered so badly at the hands of poachers, but in fact it's just teaming. the reason for this turnaround has

been largely credited to a private non—profit organisation based in johannesburg called african parks, who took over management of zakouma eight years ago. it came at a time when its elephant population had been hit hard by poaching. in 2002, the park was home to a,000 elephants but by 2010, that number had plummeted to around a50. experts feared zakouma's remaining elephants could have been gone

in a few years. but thanks to new strategies to protect the elephants, their numbers have increased to over 500. african parks now protects 15 areas in nine countries across the continent. this is the operation centre and this is the heart of zakouma. if you zoom out and we can count all of these colours, i know i've got 18 females and 11 bull colours in this group, and that's the big herd of elephant, about 500 elephant. and then i also know we have a bull there, that way they know what is happening. one of the strategies being implemented is close contact with the local communities, who are given radios as part of an early warning system for when poachers approach. any sign of poachers around the park is immediately responded to by a skilled force of armed rangers. so far, these highly disciplined, tough tactics have been working. we've not had anybody inside the park since last year, may, when a group of four people with seven camels entered the park. we rushed in there, stopped these

guys and it was just a bunch of herders that got lost. but even with successes, some critics of this sort of approach still argue the benefits of local management and caution against the risks of such a heavily armed show of force. the work can be dangerous. in 2012, six rangers lost their lives to poachers in an ambush. for those protecting the park today, its work they are proud of. many governments currently caution against travel to this region.

but despite the risks, some tourists are starting to come here on safari, with the money generated funding a third of the park's costs. for now, at least, the wildlife here seems safe and the area of zakouma under african park's protection has a good outlook. the animal numbers are increasing. in particular, the elephants. symbols of zakouma's remarkable turnaround and offering hope for further conservation across the continent. well, that's all we have for this week, but coming up next week: christa larwood takes to the seas for a sneak preview of the world's largest cruise ship.

there's always a romance about going to sea because it's an amazing thing to feel the ship under your feet. don't forget you can join us on all of our travels wherever we are in the world by following our social media feeds. all of the details are on your screens now. but from me, henry golding, and the rest of the travel show team here in alice springs, it's goodbye. hello this is breakfast, with babita sharma and naga munchetty. " locked and loaded". america tells syria it's ready to strike again. the warning comes just hours after the us, uk and france destroy three sites thought to be connected to last week's suspected chemical attack meanwhile, the debate continues around the uk's decision to join the strikes — some mps say they're angry about parliament not being consulted. good morning.

it's sunday the 15th of april. also this morning, a pedestrian fights for their life after a car ploughed into six people in essex. opponents of brexit launch a campaign calling for a people's referendum on the final deal.
