it's the hottest april for nearly 70 years, as temperatures reach 29 degrees celsius in london. i'll meet the author of this week, my guest is the king of scandinavian noir, joe nesbo with a retelling and a contemporary setting of one of the greatest stories of ambition and revenge, macbeth. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the queen has appealed to leaders of the commonwealth to appoint prince charles to succeed her as their head. as she opened the commonwealth heads of government meeting at buckingham palace, she said it was her "sincere wish" that he take over from her one day.

the role is not hereditary. the 53 leaders are expected to make a decision on the succession tomorrow. the queen, who will be 92 on saturday, said she took great pride and satisfaction in seeing the flourishing network the commonwealth had become. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. it has origins in the days of the empire and there was an echo of imperial grandeur in the welcome london laid on for the leaders of today's commonwealth of nations. the prime minister of the united kingdom. in the ballroom of buckingham palace where empire transitions to commonwealth nearly 70 years ago with the signing of the london declaration, commonwealth leaders gathered to witness some another future transition. from elizabeth head of the commonwealth throughout her long reign to charles who's been hoping to be endorsed in this non

hereditary role for some time. commonwealth leaders are keenly aware of the queen's commitments. the commonwealth has been her passion. they are aware too that this will almost certainly be the last conference over which she will preside. change is coming and charles reminded the commonwealth of his long—standing involvement in their affairs. for my part the commonwealth has been a fundamental feature of my life for as long as i can remember and i pray that this commonwealth heads of government meeting will not only revitalise the bonds between our countries but will also give the commonwealth a renewed relevance to all its citizens. from britain's prime minister you have seen us through some

of our most serious challenges. and we commit to sustaining this drove which you have so carefully nurtured. and then it was the turn of the queen to speak. she had committed her life to the commonwealth from the age of 21. now, two days from her 92nd birthday, she was keen to prepare the ground the leadership of the commonwealth after her death. it is my sincere wish that the commonwealth will continue to offer stability and continuity forfuture generations. i will decide that one day, the prince of wales should carry on the important work, started by my father in 1949. by continuing to treasure and reinvigorate our associations and activities, i believe we will secure

a safer, more prosperous and sustainable world for those who follow us. the commonwealth has big issues for discussion, preserving the oceans, democracy, trade, gay rights but the significance of today was that for the first time publicly, through the medium of the commonwealth, elizabeth the second looked ahead to the time after her reign is over. bbc news at buckingham palace. world leaders have been arriving at buckingham palace for a state dinner this evening. the queen is hosting a dinner for the commonwealth heads of government this evening and their spouses at buckingham palace. members of the royal family also attending. this is andrew holmes,

the president of jamaica, attending. this is andrew holmes, the president ofjamaica, prominent of course this week with the row over the people who came over in the wind rush. the indian prime minister of course, the prime minister of india since may 2014 arriving at buckingham palace as well. and this is one of the delegation from the st lucia, the prime minister alasdair allan jessen eight, this, lucia, the prime minister alasdair allanjessen eight, this, the prime minister of new zealand with i think her husband. and this i think is the prime minister of trinidad and tobago. keith christopher, do you are some of the dignitaries arriving at buckingham palace this evening for the state dinner. we will find out how that story and of course many others are covered in

tomorrow's front pages. that's at 20 tomorrow's front pages. that's at 20 to 11 this evening in the papers. evening in the papers, my guests tonight will be benedicte paviot who's the president of the foreign press association, and the sun's chief sports reporter martin lipton. stay with us for that. theresa may has said she is rallying commonwealth countries to join the fight against plastic pollution in the oceans by making it central to the agenda at this week's summit. the environment secretary, michael gove, said the government would act by the end of the year to ban the sale of disposable plastic straws, cotton buds and stirrers in england. scotland has already announced plans to ban plastic cotton buds. 0ur science editor david shuckman reports. soldiers hacked away at a dense mass of plastic waste. it's hard to believe what this is actually a river and they're trying to clear it out. you can just see the water underneath all the bags, containers, and bottles.

this is one of many indonesians cities choking in so much waste that the army has been called in. for the military, plastic is a new and strange kind of enemy. this looks like a rubbish dump, it certainly smells like one but what's striking is that this massive accumulation of plastic is happening on indonesia's river is despite the country making a huge effort for several years now to tackle it. it just shows you with the staggering scale of the problem. all the time that the soldiers are at work, the flow of the river brings yet more plastic waste. it's a constant struggle for the officials in charge. do you think you are winning this battle against the plastic? i think so, yeah. we have to win, if not this will be dangerous for our life. but how long would it take you? i'm sure within ten years.

within ten years you could clear everything up? yes. while we're filming, the soldiers realise that they have enough trucks to carry away waste. so they use a digger tries to push it downstream. it's not exactly a long—term solution. and the plastic floats away to become someone else's problem. and part of that problem is that this landfill site is the only one this town has. the convoy trucks collectjust a fraction of the waste generated by several million people in the city. a new load is dumped, flies swarm in the tropical heat. people rush to be first to search the rubbish. it's incredibly risky. dodging an excavator, someone died here recently. but ironically, they're after the very things that most people want to get rid of.

a plastic bottle. little by little, the message is spreading that recycling can create and income in a village outside the city, this scheme is tiny but it's one of many. and separating the different types of plastic earns a higher price. experts say, that a culture ofjust throwing things away is now changing. i think particularly young people here are very much aware of that they don't want to be part of this problem and they want to have a future that is at least as the free environment so they are working hard for that. but a view from the air reveals just how massive the challenge is. plastic dumped close to the river soon find its way into the water and then downstream. and down at the coast, a fishing village looks like it's drowning in plastic. the children here are growing up

surrounded by this stuff. it's depressing evidence of how much still needs to be done to clear up. so what begins as a local problem of failing to handle waste turns into a global one as the oceans filled with plastic. bbc news, indonesia. welljoining us now is professor angela hatton, she's the director of science and technology at the national 0cean—ography centre. professor, what do you make of the government's proposal to ban the straws, cotton buds, and stirs? well, we know that plastics are causing a lot of problems in the ocean and reproduce about 300 million tonnes of plastic every year and about half of that is single use plastic. if we can address single use plastic that will be important to do and we know that about 8

billion tonnes of plastic in the ocean each year so billion tonnes of plastic in the ocean each year so it's really important we address it. ok, it's clearly im porta nt to important we address it. ok, it's clearly important to address the cause but what about the plastic waste that is already in the oceans? first of all can you give us a sense of the scale, how big is the problem? the problem is very big, basically what's happening is plastics have been building up in the ocean for a long time and i were is increasing over time. the recent programme digested that the plastic increase with increased by triple basically by 2025 so the amount of plastic is increasing all the time and that's really important to address. how much plastic sales is being created each year? there's about 300 million tonnes of plastic generated globally each year but about 8 million tonnes of that gets into the ocean. so what can be done with the plastics already in the ocean? so it's quite tricky with the plastics in the ocean. so we can do

some things, people have been doing beach clean—ups and obviously plastic gets washed up at the beach and it's important to remove that but most of what is in the ocean. in terms of 70% of the global ocean and so terms of 70% of the global ocean and so it's very tricky to do that. some of the plastic floats and people are trying to look at techniques to remove that. but it has got into all parts of the ocean. the interesting thing is that we can actually change things by stopping as much going back in. more plastic is being generated now that has been generated now that has been generated and so we don't want to keep adding to that so the first thing to do is think about how we can tackle it. i understand that absolutely. go back to the plastic in the ocean already fell, who would be responsible for dealing with that? well i think it needs to be a concern efforts s0 that? well i think it needs to be a concern efforts so the good thing about the commonwealth meeting at the moment was this kind of trying to get a commitment from all commonwealth countries to help address it. and if you think about the fact that commonwealth makes about a third of the global

population then naturally we can make a real impact by everybody doing their bit so everybody making a difference to what they actually use and how they hope to clean things up. you are saying, some people have argued it's too late to be thinking about banning straws, you're not saying that's the case though, you seem to be saying every little helps. absolutely, we need to be moving in the right direction and so we see be moving in the right direction and so we see the impact now but that does not mean we want to keep adding to it and so the fact is we can make a difference if there was a comment that there is basically more plastic produced in the last ten years than in the entire previous century and so we are in the entire previous century and so we are producing more now and more of its going into the ocean. if we keep doing that and don't address it, we can address it by three things. you think about reduction, replacement, and recycling, if we stop putting this much in, if we change the types of plastic we use and we actually get plastic we can recycle we can start actually making

a difference. that's interesting, how much is this about finding new technologies and new ways of making plastics more recyclable? yes, that's the most positive way forward in many ways and if we can actually use innovation to tackle it important in terms of graphics remake, the weight which we recycle and also the way we might i tried clea n and also the way we might i tried clean up the oceans. we look at autonomous vehicles, a lot of ships that we can actually use to try and tackle some of these problems. although we can't remove all plastic immediately we can start to develop techniques and methods to help. we need to use our initiative to try and do that. professor angela from the national oceanography centre, good to talk to you, grateful for your time. thank you. thank you. now carolina sevilla is the founder of costa rica based ‘5 minute beach clean up'. a movement started two years ago to encourage people to clean the beach. shejoins us now. we are she joins us now. we are very grateful for you joining

she joins us now. we are very gratefulfor you joining us, how big a problem is plastic waste in costa rica? it's huge. some people think that costa rica is away from the problem but unfortunately it's not. it's all kinds of plastic. we end up in the ocean and it comes mostly from rivers from the capital. what kind of plastics are we talking about? everything, we find fiji plastic bottles we find lots of caps, we find straws, i mean we find lots of things even medical things that come from hospitals. it's devastating. honestly. going back to what you were saying at the beginning, you're saying most of this is generated in the capital and what's coming down into the oceans from rivers? from the rivers, yes,

it's bad management from certain regions in costa rica so everything you know in the rain season in costa rica most of the plastic runs because there is no good recycling system to pick up the trash from different regions and unfortunately it goes into the rivers and then it goes into the oceans. and that's the trash we are picking up in many regions of the beaches in costa rica. i want to come back to what you are doing, but as a national level, what is being done to try to tackle the problem? at the national level, a strategy that the un has been working on and it's bound to happen in 2020, in 2021 as well there's a lot of effort in costa

rica to make it happen. it's a band of rustic, one use plastic, single use plastic and there are also many effo rts use plastic and there are also many efforts on different organizations may need. the government of course is trying to help as well but i think costa rica is ready to make this happen, to have a huge change, to make it work to solve the problem. the government is making effo rts problem. the government is making efforts i'm sure but there is a mess that we can do right now if we don't have the help of the sectors in the country. we need to come together. have the help of the sectors in the country. we need to come togetherlj understand country. we need to come together.” understand that, briefly, beach clean—ups, your organisation, what is that doing and other local organizations in costa rica to try and tackle the problem? mane education and it works, of course we

wa nt to education and it works, of course we want to bring more impact, at the moment, i'm focusing on educating people. not only costa rica but all over the world. in costa rica, there area over the world. in costa rica, there are a lot of people from all over the world meaning here and not only costa rica, there are lots of people from all over the world doing beach clean—ups, river clean—ups, city clean—ups, river clean—ups, city clean—ups, it's incredible. that's why i say costa rica is ready for a big change to happen because people are very aware of the problem in the ocea ns are very aware of the problem in the oceans in my country and that makes me really happy. five—minute beach clean—up has been on making people responsible of this strategy that we are leading, why don't you dedicate five minutes to pick up trash when you are at the beach? 0k, we have to leave it there but thank you for

joining us from costa rica, good to talk to you. the headlines on bbc news: the queen tells dozens of world leaders, that she'd like prince charles to succeed her as head of the commonwealth. an attempt to clean up plastic pollution, as the government sets out plans to ban billions of plastic straws, cotton buds and drinks stirrers. the home office say they're now looking into more than 200 windrush cases. sport now...and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's hugh good evening. chelsea and southampton may well contest the second fa cup semifinal of this coming sunday but first both have pressing matters to attend to in the premier league. firstly chelsea, they are still in the hunt to qualify for next season champions league and after spurs draw earlier

this week victory away at burnley, could close the gap to their london rivals to five points. they have been largely in control and did 1—0 thanks to kevin gold half an hour into that match. for southampton, a win away at leicester would need them just to point away from exit them just to point away from exit the litigation just four games to play in the premier league season. so far, still goalless at the stadium. replays of incidents reviewed by the video assistant referees will be shown on big screens at this summer's world cup in russia. it's the first time that the aar will be used in a world cup and comes this by criticism of its use in domestic competition. 0ne issue has been that fans have not been able to see the same replays on tv that referees were using to make their decisions and that led to some confusion. this summer, the crowd will not only be told when a decision is being reviewed, but also why a decision has been reached. the

former lincoln city defender bradley wood has been banned from football for six years after being found guilty of two match fixing offences. and fa tribunal found guilty of two match fixing offences. and fa tribunalfound he intentionally got booked into matches including this one against ipswich last year in order to influence a football betting market. betting firms said there had been unusual bets placed on him being cautioned in both games and what has been banned now until march of 2024. ino been banned now until march of 2024. i no bus arsene wenger has given 100% backing for proposals for safe standing at a football stadium, the government says there are no plans to change the cedar policy, that's after he was rejected. the premier league has said more evidence is needed before it states banding can once again be allowed at top—flight stadiums. the closer you are the position of a player, the more supportive you are. and you imagine if people were watching the game and lying in bed they could fall asleep

so lying in bed they could fall asleep so it's better they stand up and i think as well is a tradition of english football to have that and overall i must say it's much better. safety is a reason why they don't do it andl safety is a reason why they don't do it and i can understand that. if the safety is right i am 100% backing it. the dcb have announced a format of 100 balls into its new 18 tournaments which is due to be launched in 2020. and innings will consist of 15 traditional six ball overs and a final ten ball over so it's only 20 balls shorter than your traditional t—20 match. it was presented by the dcb to the chairman and chief executive of the first class counties and the mcc earlier today. and will take place alongside the existing t—20 blasts appointment. the rugby union, jonathanjoseph appointment. the rugby union, jonathan joseph is set appointment. the rugby union, jonathanjoseph is set to miss england's summer tour of south africa. he needs surgery on his left foot after being injured at their

heavy loss last sunday after finishing fifth in the six nations england babies bring box in three test matches injune. novak djokovic is out of the monte carlo masters at the last 16 stage that's after defeat to austrian dominic thiem. the 12 time grand slam winner took the first set on a tie—break. dominic fought take the remaining two sets. 6—. 6—2, 6—3. the world number seven now moves on to face rafael nadal in the quarterfinal. and that is always more for now, i'll have more for you in a full round—up of tonight from your league matches in sports day at half past ten, i'll see you then. thank you. sales have fallen at the high street store debenhams, with the company reporting a large drop in profits. it says the poor weather in late february was a contributing factor, 100 of its stores were temporarily closed. it's more evidence of challenges facing the high street, overall retail sales fell again last month too, as our business correspondent emma simpson reports.

gloucester, basking at last in the sunshine. but things are far from easy on the high street. at debenhams, falling sales and profits, down nearly 85% for the last six months. but that did include some huge restructuring costs for its plan to turn things around. something they couldn't do at toys ‘r' us. these are its final few days, and everything must go. bridget has been here since it opened 28 years ago. it's sad but realistic, yeah. it's the way things are going. this is the problem. there's so much space. when these days we are buying nearly 40% of our toys online. it's a similar story here at maplin. its products can also be bought

online, and the shops are being wound down. and here's another one that can't make the sums add up, carpetright wants to close lots of stores. mothercare is in rescue talks with its lenders, new look is axing 60 stores, this one remains for now. retailers everywhere are trying to keep up with what shoppers want. ifeel as if i ought to be shopping at the shops but i know that i can just buy it online and press a button and get it there the next day. it is changing, yeah, but you can't stop progress, can you. gloucester are still trying to fill the hole left by bhs, a tough task when retailers are facing a host of pressures that are increasing costs, consumers feeling the squeeze, and that increase in online shopping. there is a huge structural shift going on and we are seeing some of the retailers that are not adapted to these changes. those that have got a huge amount of debt, those that

haven't got their own usp, these are being squeezed out of the retail market. but it's not all doom and gloom, a few miles down the road, this new store is thriving and here is the investor behind it. i think bad retail is in crisis, i think good retail with great product for customers is in great form. we started as a predominantly online business. 0nline gives us access to great data which tells us what the customers want, how they want it, when they want it. with that feedback we are able to open stores in an economically very different way to the current incumbents in the sector. so it's not the swansong for retail, but it is changing very fast. emma simpson, bbc news, gloucester. joining me now isjohn ryan, the stores editor from retail week they are stuck in the middle as

everybody keeps saying and specifically that means that they are not luxury, they are not discount because those who seem to be very secure discount because those who seem to be very secure as sectors or more secure and if you happen to be in the middle and are trying to these people club aspirations to buy designer gear and at the same time you want to be affordable, it's a bit of a problem. plus they have got themselves into a spiral so whenever you have gone past them you see 40% off 50% off, sometimes more, sometimes less. but why would you go in there if it weren't on sale? is the mentality that seems to have persuaded him out of peoples views and you can go on like that and they have been trying not to. they have gone out and they have got a new chief executive who has put out a brand—new template for stores over in steven gauge which looks fantastic actually. donna greatjob

there and it's got more food. i want to say more food. you go in there and you've got coffee and anand does and you've got coffee and anand does and exceptionally i think about 30% of that store's turnover just ahead of that store's turnover just ahead of that. and that's way above what you would normally expect. there's a certain irony that they have been blaming the freezing weather on this the hottest day of the year but from what you are saying they can't blame the weather than for this, this goes much deeper than that.” the weather than for this, this goes much deeper than that. i think everybody will use the weather in some manner or form as somebody that will mitigate the performance. there are structural problems, yes they have to be over, but of course if you have got 1% of your turnover which is the broadcast figure four is the effect, then naturally you we re is the effect, then naturally you were going to find that your profits of sales. how important is sales and

this equation? everybody bangs on about department stores and they have taken about department stores and they have ta ken staff about department stores and they have taken staff out of there and have taken staff out of there and have not got the same services you use to get. i really hate service. i don't want people wondering up to me. i don't. don't want people wondering up to me. idon't. can don't want people wondering up to me. i don't. can i help you? they need to know what they're talking about. that is perhaps the point. most people these days get their service from a smartphone. and they wander around and when they want to know something there should be somebody available. but what you don't want to is mrs slocum coming up don't want to is mrs slocum coming up and sync and i hope you are you free? that's not what service means anymore. and really is a retailer and the department store retailer that's give me a reason to come into your store. you touched on some of the things that debenhams is doing, do you think you can fix things and turn them around? honestly i'm not sure. i would love to believe they could and i think if they can do

what they have done over there and replicate elements of that elsewhere there is a fighting chance the difficulty lies in the fact that the of got quite a lot of stories and that's quite an expensive exercise to do so it's a combination of having to close a few stores what at the same time taking the good things and bringing them across the chain. 0k, we shall see we're grateful for yourtime, 0k, we shall see we're grateful for your time, thank you. helen willets has the weather good evening. for many parts of england and wales, temperatures are around five to 10 degrees above what they would be at this time of year making it the warmest april day since 1949. saint james park making it the warmest april day since 1949. saintjames park seen temperatures above 29 celsius willing to the 80s, it's been in the 20s made the high 20s in northern england. we did have some low clouds around the island of man for example

earlier in the day and that's courtesy of this weather friends here it's a week of very tight spot that crowd at the low level and it still around as we go through this evening and overnight. so it does contaminate the picture the clear sky picture we do have the clear skies temperatures will fall away. we was the seventh and eighth in the countryside but actually tonight there will be a few more showers in there will be a few more showers in the north and west and more crowd, though crowd so some fought potentially for the morning rush across eastern areas. at this time of year it will take a couple of hours to clear but should clear by mid—morning onwards and in the main concern is the sea developing again to be in seven areas tomorrow. that could drag some of that no crowd i'm sure further north is a greater risk of some showers actually across the islands but it will be a cooler day across much of scotland. temperatures are in the below 20s today in northern ireland as well also the north of england we saw temperatures at 26, 27 but we hold onto that intense heat but even with

a lower temperature as the sun is still just as strong. a lower temperature as the sun is stilljust as strong. it is our strong uv. high sun index for the date. then through friday evening and saturday morning the mist and the fog returns and you can see that weather system sitting out in the atlantic. as the troublemaker for the weekend. what will bring to an end, the unbroken dry and sunny weather for many parts there will be showers and getting going we think in southern and western areas first saturday initially quite light showers and again the devil is in the details of what a weekend but a lot of dry and still pretty warm weather, high teens, low 20s but as that note gets closer in, the chances are they showers will start to turn heavier as well. so there's a potential for to turn heavier as well. so there's a potentialfor some to turn heavier as well. so there's a potential for some thunder and slow moving down for through saturday night and into sunday. as that weather front finally starts to introduce fresher air right across the country but it will take until quite late in the day in southern and central areas. this is bbc news,

our latest headlines. the queen tells dozens of world leaders, that she'd like prince charles to succeed her as head of the commonwealth. it is my sincere wish that the commonwealth will continue to offer stability and continuity for future generations. and we'll decide that one day the prince of wales shall carry on the important work started by my father in 1949. an attempt to clean up plastic pollution, as the government sets out plans to ban billions of plastic straws, cotton buds and drinks stirrers. the home office say they're now looking into more than 200 windrush cases. and coming up. 0n meet the author this week our guest is the king of scandinavian

noirjo nesbo with a retelling in a contemporary setting of one of the greatest stories of ambition and revenge, macbeth. a woman accused of throwing acid over herformer partner in an attack that left him disfigured, almost blind and paralysed from the neck down has gone on trial for murder. berlinah wallace, is accused of attacking dutch engineer, mark van dongen in bristol in 2015. he ended his life in a euthanasia clinic fifteen months later. she denies all the charges. jon kay reports from bristol crown court. he was an engineer from holland, she was a fashion student from south africa. mark we re were together for five years living in his bristol flat. she threw

sulfuric acid over him while he slept. it claimed she bought it online. thejury to slept. it claimed she bought it online. the jury to was told she laughed for throwing acid saying if i can't have you no one else will. never one wiped her eyes as the jury was played a video showing him in a hospital bed struggling to speak and with his face and torso badly scarred he told detectives she poured the acid over him because she was jealous their relationship had broken down. berlinah wallace denies murder and throwing a corrosive fluid. the court heard mark was taken to hospital with horrific and catastrophic injuries. paralyzed from the neck down and blind in one eye. the prosecution said 15 months after the incident he could take it no longer, he returned to belgium to be near his family and asked a euthanasia clinic there to help end his life. three doctors judged euthanasia clinic there to help end his life. three doctorsjudged his physical and psychological suffering to be on bearing —— unbearable. he

died last year. they claim the suffering he sustained from the acid ultimately drove him to euthanasia. that's why they say berlinah wallace is guilty of murder. her barrister said to thejury is guilty of murder. her barrister said to the jury they must keep an open mind and there are two sides to every story. that she will claim mark himself left the acid out that night and was therefore the author of his own misfortune. the trial continues. sir alan parker has resigned as save the children's international chairman after 10 years in the role. he also stepped down from the boards of the save the children association and save the children international. sir alan was due to leave in december but "felt it right at this moment to bring forward his succession". i'm joined by our correspondent richard lister. what is behind this? the last two months in particular have been a fairly turbulent time for the

organizations and save the children is among those. there has been a lot of unhappiness by many staff at save the children international about the behaviour and the treatment of the resignations of several senior executives within the organisation. there'll bit where the chief strategist steps down from two charities and by his wife after admitting inappropriate behaviour while working at save the children. justin forsyth he resigned from unicef in february because of complaints about his behaviour while he was at save the children. people believe that the senior staff within an organisation should have dealt with these complaints more rigorously than they did and there has been a lot of pressure on sir alan to resign and as you say he was due to end his term in december. release a letter saying it's time to step down now. what else is that in

the letter? he called that a complex mix of challenges. it's my view a change is needed and says the decision to step down and he will do everything he can to support this move. it's quite a long letter and most of it talks about what he believes are the improvements in the organisation and the time that he has been there but he also says that in save the children uk we dealt with some unacceptable workplace behaviour involving harassment and theseissues behaviour involving harassment and these issues by the charity commission. as an important review and work with them to assist in any way we can. an urgent and pressing need to rebuild trust and confidence. thanks for that update. the home office has said tonight that it is now looking into the cases of 232 members of the so—called windrush generation. they say they've been threatened with deportation because they can't prove their right to be in the uk.

speaking at a meeting in parliament with some of those affected, the labour mp david lammy, described the government's handling of the situation "as "shameful." for people who have been deported back to countries that they never knew, for people who have been detained, prisoners in their own country. for people who have worked, paid their taxes, paid their national insurance and then denied nhs treatment if you now have cancer, denied your pension, that you have contributed to, told her that you were not now able to seek public funds. that you are not able to work in this country, i'm afraid

as caribbean people we are not going to forget our history. we don'tjust wa nt to to forget our history. we don'tjust want to hearan to forget our history. we don'tjust want to hear an apology, we want reparation. cheering let's speak to our political correspondent jonathan blake who's in westminster. you are at this meeting, jonathan, tell us more about what was said. there was a lot of anger and frustration as you heard there from the meeting. it was arranged by the labour shadow home secretary who spoke first and she said the response had been overwhelming and you could see that, really, because the original committee room was scheduled to be held and was for standing room only at the back and it spilt out into four rooms in total among the main committee corridor in the houses of parliament. lovely looking to be there to hear what diane abbott and david had to say and to register their own frustration and to really resolve to do something about it and

isa resolve to do something about it and is a highly charged meeting. it was his speech and for the prime minister this week which really brought this to the government and burst open to a steady stream that had been reported. saying he had been acting and act fast. people angry again calling for an apology and that really seems to be the main thrust of people caught up in this scandal and people are calling it and they want to hear the prime minister public apology. we do have a sense of being done about it and they confirmed they're looking into 232 cases that the task force was set up earlier in the week. 0thers will be people who need help approving there in the —— immigration status. we have four

people since that task force set up and given permanent resident status. the magician david copperfield has been forced to reveal the secret of one of his signature tricks after being sued by an injured british audience member. let's get the details from our correspondent in la james cook. what is going on? this involves a famous trick he has performed probably thousands of times in las vegas. it's called the lectern —— lucky number 13 track in and of also getting 13 audience members onto the stage of the las vegas mgm grand resort and apparently making them disappear. 0n the night in question one of the audience members was gavin cox. he's 58 years old and from kent in england. mr cox claims what happens during the trek was that he tripped and fell as he was

being hustled along passageways. what actually happened was when mr copperfield was forced to reveal the details of the trek to explain how it works is a curtain comes down in the audience members are hustled along passageways out of the resort itself and back into a stator at the back of it reappear at the back of the stage. he said while it's happening he fell a considerable distance and dislocated his shoulder. the author claims that later led to a brain injury. give copperfield gave evidence, he was asked whether it was his fault if someone asked whether it was his fault if someone had followed, if someone would have hurt themselves during the trek if that would have been his fault he said it would depend on the circumstances. mr cox alleges there was debris and dust in his passageway as he was taken along it and give copperfield said he walked along earlier the evening and it had been clear. the trick is been revealed, maybe some fans will be

somewhat disillusioned to realise he is not magic after all but the trial itself continues. david copperfield is expected to give more evidence again on tuesday. many thanks for that. this is been the warmest april day for nearly 70 years. temperatures hit 29.1 celsius in london. more than 10 degrees above average for this time of year. other parts of the country has seen hot weather as well. she is our weather present she has been talking to those lucky enough to be out in the sunshine. not a raincoat inside and early taste of summer.
