if they do end up back in deported, if they do end up back in the caribbean, apparently, it is to act jamaican! the caribbean, apparently, it is to act jamaican! that was number -- one of the numberof act jamaican! that was number -- one of the number of embarrassing stories, the head of state at the commonwealth summit, dominated by a story that is humiliating for the prime minister and the government alleges everything we feared about the worst of government departments and especially the home office, people talk about institutional racism and it is not that, it is rank incompetence, gross incompetence. the government knew about this as far back as 2014 with an impact assessment saying we are worried about people getting caught up worried about people getting caught up in this but nobody did anything until the weekend. why does it take that long or a newspaper or a harrowing story for someone to do their job harrowing story for someone to do theirjob properly? a lot of people in this country thought it was a goodidea? in this country thought it was a good idea? clamp—down on immigration. we are talking about 2012, 2013, it was a race to the

bottom, ukip leading the charge when it came to fuse on what we should feel about immigrants, particularly illegal ones. nobody was piping up and talking for them? i was working in government at the time... nobody could hear your voice! that is true, we we re could hear your voice! that is true, we were working incredibly hard to limit the impact of some of these policies and we had stopped landowners being forced to check papers before renting property and schools and hospitals passing data to the home office because what is terrifying here is a huge number of people are frightened of interactions with the state because whether it is enrolling your child at school or seeking treatment for a health problem and public health considerations are profound. it does not take a lot for their to be a public health crisis because somebody is not seeking treatment because they are frightened that doctors will pass on their details.

i don't think people would argue that there needs to be a crackdown oi'i that there needs to be a crackdown on illegal emigration, the fact is the policy is put through so ham—fisted, you get people who should never be considered as illegal immigrants and theresa may was caught up in that. my point is that because the mood was hostile, there was no pressure on the government to do something about this potential problem and that was pa rt this potential problem and that was part of why we can see all of this right now? the government had this policy to reduce immigration to the tens of thousands, which cameron introduced as a commitment, as far back as 2008, without any capacity to deliver it. the problem is, the further we got from being able to deliver that modest target, the more important it was to do something, anything, to look like you really wa nted anything, to look like you really wanted to get tough. some people would say about eu and non—eu, this poor mother's sun, told you cannot

stay here, if he was from lithuania it would not be a problem and that is another thing that will come about. the daily telegraph, boris, we must take a hard line on knife crime. fancy this, amber rudd having a hard time and up pops boris johnson! poly will get onto this! this is more about an attempt for boris, billed as an interview of the commonwealth summit, in period sta rts commonwealth summit, in period starts tomorrow, this is about local elections where labour are stunned at how policing such an issue on the doorstep and they are confident in london about policing, that message is hitting home about cuts to the police. but labour because of that. boris comes out to attack sadiq khan over knife crime and it ends up being about the home secretary's failures. that is where you come in? if the strategy was to have a go at sadiq khan, white couple of days. the prime minister is having a tough time and we know she has made a

concerted effort on stop and search so concerted effort on stop and search so don't complain about that. the home secretary is having a tough time, what about collective responsibility? it is extraordinary from boris, he can see weakness and he was to have a pop at how much better ears, the foreign secretary in the middle of the heads of government conference, he should be talking about foreign affairs. people close to amber rudd were quoted as saying she is privately seething about having to clear up theresa may's mess. somebody is worried enough about her potential leadership challenge that they will attack theresa may, the prime minister. all of these tory things seen through the prism of williams, who affects so... how long before the next election? four more years! britain's war on plastics. polly? the one government minister who has the capacity to come up with new

ideas to do things and move the story on is michael gove, who has found a new bit of plastic to have a go at, plastic straws, george osborne has managed to obliterate them from london, single—handedly, he would claim. they will go from the country along with plastic cotton buds and drink stars. a p pa re ntly cotton buds and drink stars. apparently we use 32 million, no, 13 billion cotton buds every year. what are using them for? i use a couple maybe every week. do you use them? los! not in about ten years! cotton buds! this is one area the government can talk about, they cannot talk about prisons orjustice or brexit, they can talk about plastic. they are running out of things to ban. why not the other stuff? it is a mess? everything is a mess! they are making a difference

and showing leadership and this is and showing leadership and this is an amazing transformation because not long ago as lib dems we try to fight to get the conservatives to back banning plastic bags. fight to get the conservatives to back banning plastic bagsm fight to get the conservatives to back banning plastic bags. it was this massive fight. she has a house full of cotton buds! nick clegg is using all of the cotton buds! to move the story on, you go around being an environmentalist! in the greater scheme of things this is a good announcement, we have seen blue planet. something has to change. next it is nappies, that is what i wa nt to next it is nappies, that is what i want to see, biodegradable nappies. the sun. the sad news, dale winton, dead at 62. people will think about supermarket sweep and the national lottery, a huge loss. just broken at a quarter to lottery, a huge loss. just broken at a quarterto ten, lottery, a huge loss. just broken at a quarter to ten, from his publicist. tragic event, we have lost a lot of very well loved

people. ray wilkins, dale winton. lost a lot of very well loved people. ray wilkins, dale wintoni did not realise he had gone away. it has only been a couple of years since he stopped presenting the national lottery but maybe students can national lottery but maybe students ca n start national lottery but maybe students can start a campaign for some reruns of supermarket sweep. there is nothing more fun than supermarket sweep! incredibly popular man and a real loss to the television industry. mr nice guy, apparently, according to some other tabloids. the times, bovis homes. buyers in despair at badly build new homes, underhand bovis delaying repairs. investigative journalism from the times. we have this crisis of house building in the country so i think as people are speeding up finally the rate at which homes are built, we do need to keep a grip on quality and make sure people who buy new

homes, built in the hundreds of thousands, are not being stiffed. really troubling allegations. it says that they have been misusing, apparently, some of the claims about the number of stars they get from the number of stars they get from the house—building federation. the number of stars they get from the house-building federation. you can imagine out that is corruption. if these claims are true. this is something we hear more of, big coi'isuitiei’ something we hear more of, big consumer countries, —— companies, accused of selling a house and you move in and it is not finished. you get that with volkswagen, the diesel cars crisis, white goods catching fire, this is happening a lot. it will only come back in the next couple of days, what is happening with standards? trading standards, it has been cut so much that it is one man in the council in forcing this. somewhere in bovis, they have

i'io this. somewhere in bovis, they have no comment, somewhere somebody has made the decision on margins and how much we can afford not to do. is this pressure to build more homes so they are putting up quickly? the problem with the housing market is the high cost of land because we ration the supply with our ludicrous that planning controls, which means developers are squeezed because they have to be so much to the landowners and any savings they can make on construction, they go back to the landowners. they are often the owners themselves. yes. these are all allegations from the times front page. nothing proven yet. we will end with the weather. of course. and the metro is complaining. there could be small as well. look, i felt better going to work today. didn't

it? through your cotton buds away! i looked around for my code for a couple of minutes before i remembered i did not bring one with the! hopefully this will last. tomorrow, in london, 26 degrees. 27? the hottest april ever. some people say this will mean a rise in smog and asthma and are warning people with lung conditions to stay inside. got to be careful. thank you. watch it with the cotton buds! we will leave it there! but neill get —— what will we get rid of next, biros? raisers? studio tables! this is plastic! multiple use! that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website.

it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, polly and steve. goodbye. it has been like summer today with temperatures into the 20s quite widely across southern and eastern areas and further north into the high teens. 25 in a few places in central london —— london and we will see higher than that tomorrow because with the clear skies, overnight it will turn cool and we still have the weather front meandering into western parts of northern ireland and scotland so there will be drizzly rain here for many, under the starry skies it will turn cool, particularly in the countryside but that will not last. the sun is out strong and it will be into the high category, the uv

index, tomorrow so beware. we have not seen much sunshine and it is strong. they stand for clearing from most parts and we will have quite a bit of cloud at times across the northern and western isles of scotla nd northern and western isles of scotland meandering eastwards at any given in the showers and there will be plenty of sunshine in between, and further south we still have the potential for a little more cloud around. through wales and the south—west, more so than during the day today but it will not limit temperatures. they will be soaring even higher than today, 27 in the south—east and more widely the 20s for england and wales and cooler further north and west but no ca rava n further north and west but no caravan today. subtle changes into friday, at the moment we have had the south—easterly winds across the country and they will pick up a westerly atla ntic country and they will pick up a westerly atlantic flow coming in from friday, that means it will feel fresher for scotland and northern ireland and the risk of a few more showers on friday. in the south there will be mist and for gun that could hang around in the english channel so with sea breezes because

of the temperature difference between inland and the coast, that could bring that low cloud or sea fog onshore borrowed time but not for all us. the weekend will see fine weather although the high—pressure relinquishes its grip someone so high—pressure relinquishes its grip someone so it high—pressure relinquishes its grip someone so it means high—pressure relinquishes its grip someone so it means these weather systems will be allowed to come in from the atlantic, bringing more moisture and combined with high temperatures means a greater risk of april showers, more so on sunday then saturday so that'll be interesting and it looks like very usable weather, quite warm on saturday and on sunday, the chances is the showers will turn heavy and there is always a risk for the london marathon of some warmth to start but then a sharp shower later. bye— bye. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00pm: the prime minister apologises again, this time to mps, for the government's treatment of caribbean migrants. she offers reassurance to the windrush generation, but she still faces criticism of her time as home secretary. people in this generation, who came

here from commonwealth countries, have built a life here. they have made a massive contribution to the country. these people are british. they are part of us. under her, the home office became heartless and hopeless, and doesn't she now run a government that is both callous and incompetent? the substance used to poison a former russian agent was a highly
