9:31 am
good morning. manchester united are into a record equalling 20th fa cup final over the back after victory over top none in an eighth straight semifinal defeat for spurs. an u nwa nted record semifinal defeat for spurs. an unwanted record for tottenham. manchester united through to a record—equalling 20th fa cup final. jose mourinho once more getting it right on the big stage. his side had to do it the hard way as tottenham opened the scoring, christian eriksen supplying the perfect pass, dele alli with the finishing touch. this, the joy of a club desperate to end a run of seven consecutive fa cup semifinal defeats. they were in control but didn't capitalise, and when paul pogba crossed for alexis sanchez to dispatch a marvellous header, the contest was alive.
9:32 am
only the width of a post prevented tottenham from regaining the lead, though after the break, united's competition pedigree told, ander herrera drilling them ahead and within touching distance of victory. spurs offered little in response and for all of their promise will again finish the season without silverware. united one win away from ending the campaign on a high. to end the season with the possibility to play at wembley, fa cup final, to close the season in, in english football, i think is a good achievement. it is something that the boys deserve. well, the celebrations of these fans says it all. they will be back here on may 19th. and, as tottenham's long wait for a trophy goes on, united remain in contention to add yet another to their collection. david ornstein, bbc news, wembley. we will learn later on today who
9:33 am
they will face, with chelsea up against southampton. it is sure to be an emotional day at the emirates later this afternoon as arsene wenger takes charge of arsenal against west ham in the first home game for arsene wenger city announced he would step down after 22 years city announced he would step down after 22 yea rs in city announced he would step down after 22 years in charge. it will be his penultimate league match at home. elsewhere, stoke face burnley. a wind for swansea at home to manchester city will relegate west brom. wolves are preparing for their return to the premier league, having secured their promotion last weekend. they wrapped up the title last weekend, losing 13 points clear of fulham and 12 points clear of cardiff in second. there are just three games left to play. spare a thought for sunderland fans, relegated for the second season in a i’ow relegated for the second season in a row after losing to attend. —— burton. chelsea ladies and manchester city
9:34 am
women could both make history as they bid to become the first english sides to reach the champions league final. the semis are played over two legs with chelsea at home today to vfl wolfsburg in the late kick off, while city take on the holders lyon at 1pm. i think it is a dream, to get into the champions league final. that is one medal that we would all like to have, but we can't look past this semifinal. for me, in the past, with everton i made the quarterfinal, and this is one step better, but we deathly want to make the final and we will give it everything we have got. carl frampton secured the wbo interim featherweight title with a points win over former four weight world champion nonito donaire in belfast. frampton could next face either mexico's wbo featherweight champion oscar valdez, or the winner of next months all british ibf title bout between lee selby and josh warrington. someone who wasn't hanging around, was amir khan in his comeback fight.
9:35 am
a0 seconds, it took him to beat phil lo greco in liverpool. as he came out swinging from the start, in his first fight just under two years. great britain need to win their final match of their tie if they're to secure promotion to the fed cup world group. johanna konta beat naomi osaka to give great britian a lead overjapan. but heather watson lost hers in straight sets to kurumi nara. and so it all hinges on the doubles, with konta and watson teaming up together. they have taken the first set, so fingers crossed they can secure gb‘s spotin fingers crossed they can secure gb‘s spot in the world group. that is all the sport for now. now, the papers. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
9:36 am
bringing us tomorrow. with me are features writer for the independent james rampton, and journalist and author lainy malkani. a warm welcome to you both. let's have a look at today's front pages. the sunday times reports security chiefs are to get greater powers to fight terror, following last year's attacks in london and manchester. also on its front page, claims about scotland yard's handling of an investigation into allegations about a tory mp. the observer leads with accusations that government plans to force people to prove their identities at polling stations in next month's local elections, and risk alienating people from ethnic minority communities. the sunday telegraph has the headline "facebook given a week to protect children".
9:37 am
the paper accuses social media companies of turning a blind eye to under—age users. it reports the government is considering new laws to hold firms accountable. the sunday express also carries the same story on their front page. it says the health secretary, jeremy hunt, is concerned about the lack of action taken by social media companies to protect young users. and the daily mail says meghan markle's uncle has accused the bride—to—be of not inviting him to her wedding to prince harry next month. a wide range of stories there to discuss with my two guests. let's start with the sunday times. security chief to get greater powers to fight terror, and there is a picture of one of the victims of the manchester bombing. what do you make of that? well, it is this fast track
9:38 am
terrorist subjects, the fact that they will have new powers to do that, and whilst it makes a great headline, and there is a need to change the way in which we monitor terrorist subjects and bring them to justice, the idea of fast track, that term in itself makes me feel a little bit nervous, in the same way that you might think of stop and search. what it leads to is great anxiety for a number of communities, and... there is always a balance between liberty and security. of course, and the weight the article is written, it initially starts talking about muslim groups, and the prevent strategy. immediately your mind goes from terrorism to use and organisations and muslim people, and then you carry on reading and you
9:39 am
get to the paragraph that says it includes northern irish terrorism and the growing threat from far right extremists. in the attempt to track down these plots much quicker, it needs to be a balanced approach. i agree that you have to be balanced, and there are, quite rightly, very high burdens of proof and it comes to these matters. last year, there was a man who was attempting, allegedly, to launch an attack on downing street, and the police waited until the last second, perhaps riskily, to arrest and because they wanted to amass as much evidence as possible. you have to be able to prove in a court of law that these people are guilty, you cannot just do it on a whim. however, you do wonder, if people are slipping through the net, the man who was responsible for the manchester
9:40 am
bombing was on the radar and there was a report that they missed two vital clues, the acuity forces, and that might have devoted the attack. you never know. we have seen quite often that people are on the radar, the general radar, the wider outreaches of the radar, but it is such a massivejob. outreaches of the radar, but it is such a massive job. the terrible arc days of the ira, at the height of the troubles, there were only a few dozen people on the radar, now there are 23,000 extremists. it is a massive job to keep across all of those people. iabsolutely massive job to keep across all of those people. i absolutely feel for the security forces. they have got a huge job with the press on their case, the severus politicians on their case, it is a massive job. the good thing, if you go down beat it closed, as i have done, one of the things is to recruit and train 2000 additional staff. that is a great thing because you need more staff to improve the detection of terrorist
9:41 am
activity involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear explosive material. that has got to bea explosive material. that has got to be a good thing, but it is the balance. let's move to another story in the sunday times, which is about brexit. no stranger to discussing brexit, james. i think that will be oi'i brexit, james. i think that will be on my grave! it won't be a paper review if we don't talk about brexit. me ranting and alienating at least half the audience! this is a great story, i think it could be a game changer in the whole exit debate. in private, the primary stat and her people have been saying that they will not be crying into their beer if they have two agree to a form of customs union —— the prime minister. this is one of the red lines that brexiteers have put down and said over my dead body, and all of that. they have made the judgment
9:42 am
that michael gove and so on will not resign in protest. they are not so sure about liam fox and restaurants in. if they resign, i would definitely will not cry into my beer. i think it is interesting that the prime minister has said it is a huge issue, but we are not going to lie down and say we cannot have a customs union. the maths in parliament may be impossible. but it is a different kind of brexit if we don't leave the customs union. completely, and the shifting sands are already happening. michael gove is definitely on shifting sands he is definitely on shifting sands he is saying well, you know, the figures may not add up. it is a real game changer, i think, in terms of the brexit negotiations. lainy, let's move on to the sunday telegraph. this is our lead story
9:43 am
today, social media being given a warning, another warning you might say, by the government to protect children. the worries, health worries, really, about overuse by children of social media. there is an age limit of 13, and it seems that social media organisations are flouting that, and the idea is, how do we ensure that that happens? but how do we? if you log on, and it few click on argue over or under 18, most kids will click that they are over 18. but i think it is right that it over 18. but i think it is right thatitis over 18. but i think it is right that it is tackled in some way, but the question is, how do you do it? winning in new laws is one thing, but on the ground? it is part of a general attempt to rein in social media companies in all sorts of ways. terror videos and so on. exactly, and fake news, social media
9:44 am
companies have been used as a vehicle for that. it has been a terrible time for social media companies. the whole scandal over kenwood analytic and the allegations of data mining and possibly using that influence on elections —— analytica. facebook thought great, there is money to be made here, but goodness me, there is people's data. some people might see it as a cavalier way of making shed loads of money. i thought i would never say this, but i applaud jeremy hunt, he has given them a week to save we will in force this, limit that only over 13s can sign up. you can have exposure to the most appalling material on some site if you know
9:45 am
how to use it, and children are not being properly emitted. without being properly emitted. without being too dictatorial, it is important to stop children seeing things that could have a damaging effect on them. some people would say that this is dictatorial. you are trying to tell social media companies what to do. but on the other hand, social media has been used successfully to tackle things to do with children's issues. on the one hand, it has created problems, but on the other hand, they are coming up with ways to solve problems like bullying and mental health. that is good, yes. children doing their gcses and studying, so you are encouraged to use the internet as a young person. however, there is evidence that overuse of social media is causing mental health organs. -- problems. let's move on to the observer, marking the 25th anniversary since the murder of stephen lawrence, and asking what
9:46 am
has changed since his death. my heart sinks, actually, one that it was 25 years ago to the day. we had that extraordinary 3—part bbc series. wonderful, very powerful. and this idea of what has happened over the last 25 years. the windrush saga kind of sums it up, actually, that's what has changed for many people of colour, i would say, because i was listening to something this morning, the idea that white is right, and that if you are from a community of black or asian communities, you are automatically assumed to have done something wrong, whereas if you are white, you are automatically assumed to be innocent. unfortunately, iam not quite sure that has the visibility,
9:47 am
windrush has been an acute example of that, where people from the caribbean, all of whom are predominantly of african caribbean heritage, those people have been extremely let down by this system, and this system ofjustice, and the rights of people, institutional aces within the police, it has been acute. —— racism. within the police, it has been acute. -- racism. james, do you think things have changed in 25 yea rs ? think things have changed in 25 years? like you, my heart sinks to think it has been 25 years, and how much have we altered? but i think the visibility, particularly of stephen lawrence's parents, doreen lawrence is now quite rightly in the house of lord's, and neville lawrence is now able to forgive the
9:48 am
killers. havoc/ me, i don't think i could do that. they are a brilliant example to the rest of us. however, there are daily experiences, a terrible explosion of knife crimes, there are racist crimes happening all the time, so we are not living ina all the time, so we are not living in a perfect world. at examples like this have helped to change the perception a bed. this piece goes back to eltham, a muslim woman says it has been all right here since, but that brexit has caused...” it has been all right here since, but that brexit has caused... i did not want to mention that! she said that the brexit has fuelled racism. moving onto the front page of the observer, identity checks for elections. hot on the heels of the
9:49 am
windrush scandal, there is now a suggestion that people will be asked, well, it is going to happen, they are piloting a project, that people will be asked to show id in the voting booths, and that'll put off certain communities. certain committees perhaps are legally here, but do not possess a passport or driving licence, and will think i do not want to get handled up with the authorities, ijust won't go. that is very detrimental to democracy. if people feel they may get themselves into trouble if they vote, that is a disaster for democracy. they used to bea time disaster for democracy. they used to be a time when we took our polling cards, you has to register, you get notices from the local council, are you on the electoral reform society stuff? you have to do all of that before going to vote, but now you don't have too. that is the trouble. there is such a missed just now of
9:50 am
—— mistrust of authoritative measures. finishing off on a royal note. we have got a picture of the queen on her 92nd birthday. she is pretty big story, isn't she? she is a phenomenal woman. in pretty big story, isn't she? she is a phenomenalwoman. in terms pretty big story, isn't she? she is a phenomenal woman. in terms of what she has done for this country, she has done more than anyone else in terms of projecting a positive image of the uk all over the world, she is possibly the most famous woman in the world, and maybe the most respected. that is impossible to gauge, but i do feel sorry for her, to sit through that line—up. gauge, but i do feel sorry for her, to sit through that line-up. the george formby tribute... apparently thatis george formby tribute... apparently that is her favourite! to see ed balls plainview ukelele, surely no one deserves that! i heard the duke
9:51 am
of cambridge explaining to her in some of the artists are, basically shaggy. is it fit for a queen? i was at the commonwealth at this week, and she made it clear that she wa nted and she made it clear that she wanted vince charles to take over as head of the commonwealth —— prince charles. in that role, she has been seen as the glue that has helped the commonwealth together. in terms of social action, and a community that it has created, it has been fantastic. to see the way in which very diverse and different countries, races and religions were united by the figurehead of the queen, it was quite inspiring this week. let's finish off, related to
9:52 am
thatis week. let's finish off, related to that is the royal wedding, not too far away now. really?! and have you got to invitation? it must have been lost in the post, rather like meghan markle's uncle. we are having a wedding party in honour of them. are you? that's nice. yes. i am really excited. i love this because it affects all of us will stop if you have been married, or are getting married and you have had to draw up a waiting list, this is what this is all about. it is not easy. it is not so all about. it is not easy. it is not so much who you invite as who you leave off. and there are a lot on meghan markle's side who have been
9:53 am
left off. i feel sorry for her. it is great that she is marrying the marl is great that she is marrying the man she clearly loves, but however, 15 pages every day in the tabloids, how on earth can she lead a normal life? i remember when the then kate middleton spit up with rinse william when they were courting —— split up, because apparently she could not handle the press pressure, and i don't blame her. at least she has got the hollywood background. yes but this is a whole new ball game. i saw the daily mail yesterday, they had the third part of meghan markle's life. she is a tongue twister! i am markle's life. she is a tongue twister! lam now markle's life. she is a tongue twister! i am now going to get the sack. it was incredible, the third part, and there were ten pages about her first marriage. wow, how intrusive is that? welcome to the royal family, poor woman. and
9:54 am
intrusive is that? welcome to the royalfamily, poor woman. and he very much, enjoy the wedding party. 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. if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, lainy and james. goodbye. ijust want i just want to bring you ijust want to bring you up—to—date with how the rest of the weekend made pan out across the british isles. we have had a lot of weather in recent hours, a lot of thunderstorm activity and lightning across a good part of england and wales. come dawn, things were much quieter. too late if you had been
9:55 am
woken up by this under storms. we are not done with the weatherjust yet, join the dots, this is a weather front bringing fresh weather down from the north west. as i give you the real detail here, across the north west of scotland, the more northerly portion of the weather front just hanging on northerly portion of the weather frontjust hanging on there, i'm afraid. more a line of clouds than anything else, but ahead of that feature it remains stubbornly warm, if not very warm and that may well trigger one or two thundery showers across east anglia and the far north of london. 2a degrees still here. following on behind, this is no new ice age by any means at all, those temperatures are good for this time of year, but it will feel fresher. behind that cold front, the regime is completely different. we are looking now to the atlantic, rather than the continent, but this is what is coming our way. the colour
9:56 am
straining away ahead of the next set of weather fronts. as early as tonight in all parts of the british isles, to reach a0 degrees that you may have endured last night, the forthcoming night offers 6—9d. —— 1a degrees. that is how we start the new week. don't bank on this, if you are in northern ireland or northern scotland, here you will eventually get thick enough cloud for there to be some rain. moderate bursts in the south—west scotland, further east a drier prospect, and temperatures still just above what we would expect for this time of year. having got back to double figures, that is where we will stay for the next few days. with that atlantic influence, things are going to look unsettled compared to where we have been. much more like spring. this is bbc news.
9:57 am
we are going to be seeing the start of the london marathon in a couple of the london marathon in a couple of minutes and her majesty the queen at windsor castle is going to be starting the london marathon in two minutes' time at ten o'clock. just having celebrated her 92nd birthday last night with that extraordinary concert at the albert hall. there
