the case will be heard by the court of appeal this afternoon, as keith doyle reports. the parents of alfie evans have not given up theirfight to have him moved out of the country for treatment, despite a high court judge ruling against it, saying it was not in the toddler's best interests. last night, following that ruling, alfie's father tom said that that the 23—month—old was doing 0k and the family have been allowed to appeal. we want to go to italy. everyone‘s ready, alfie's ready, so now we see what the three judges in the court of appeal can do for us, and even if we don't achieve to get to italy, then the judge is still offering us a chance to get home. alfie has been in alderhey since december 2016 with a rare degenerative, neurological condition. supporters of the child's family tried to storm the hospital on monday, shortly before his life—support was withdrawn when a court ruled doctors could end his care. his parents want him to be transferred to hospital in rome, a move which is supported

by the pope, whom alfie's father tom met last week. last night, supporters of the family were outside the hospital. inside, alfie's parents stayed at the boy's side. the courts have said he should receive end of life care at the hospital, at a hospice, or possibly at home. his parents say a plane is on standby to take him to italy if the court of appeal rules in their favour this afternoon. keith doyle, bbc news. jewish groups have dismissed a meeting with labour party leader jeremy corbyn as a "disappointing, missed opportunity". the "board of deputies of britishjews" and the "jewish leadership council" both met with officials from the party last night to discuss alleged anti—semitism, but complained about the lack of action on the issue. our political correspondent eleanor garnier is in westminster for us. eleanor, sounds like this row is going to run and run?

i think that's right. jeremy corbyn might have apologised to the anti—semitism in his party and cities committed to ripping it out at that meeting didn't heal the divisions that are very much on show this morning. the two groups that jeremy corbyn met said they did welcome his words on anti—semitism but the trust could not be rebuilt until there was strong action. sources in the labour party say any differences that remain after that meeting were largely down to details rather than fundamental division. they sayjeremy corbyn agreed in principle with most of what he was being asked to do but there was practical difficulty. they say yes, he did agree to speeding up all the disciplinary action butjeremy corbyn wouldn't agree to a fixed date because that might leave the

party open to legal challenge. the verdict of the jewish party open to legal challenge. the verdict of thejewish groups, their lack of action, that does mean this remains a potent force in the hands of the coffin critics, both internally and externally. —— jeremy corbyn critics. we're going to be speaking to one of the jewish leaders who went to that meeting and hear reaction from the labour party later in the programme. a 53—year—old man is in a critical condition after he was attacked before liverpool's champions league match against roma last night. two italian men, aged 25 and 26, are being questioned on suspicion of attempted murder after the assault outside a pub in anfield. the victim from ireland was left with a serious head injury during a night of angry clashes between fans. tsb says its banking services are back online this morning after customers were left unable to log in, pay the bills, or make transfers. particularly tsp, because it's

trying to build a base and say that we are a great alternative to some of the big banks. all of this was scheduled maintenance of its systems that it was moved. it was but a part. they were basically renting the it system from lloyds and said they would develop their own. that was all scheduled to happen at the weekend. they told everyone there would be some scheduled downtime and it would be back up and running by six o'clock on sunday and we are now at six o'clock on wednesday morning. ijust spoke to tsb and they said they are back online. there will be limited access. they are going to allow people gradually back onto the system. they don't want a big surge in users. after such a long period

of being able to access it. they are really careful. they say it is working, you might not be a will to login straightaway. you know what that makes you realise, the systems are never made the people to login at the same time. if you're going to create a system, any bank, you would created so that everybody can login. as the banks get bigger, it's about allowing enough people. it is notoriously complicated. a lot of changes, not only on how they protect our data that allowing third parties access and that sort of thing. that's why we have seen some of the problems. seeing other people ‘s accounts and balances. somebody got in touch on their mortgage had disappeared. they were quite happy about that. i've got a feeling it might come back. 300,000 people are in debt to illegal money lenders

in the uk. the government has a fresh crackdown on lenders who target vulnerable people. more than 100,000 pounds already seized from loan sharks will be spent on helping victims. our business correspondent, emma simpson reports. loansharks, by the very nature of them, ijust hideous. they really do control people ‘s lives. them, ijust hideous. they really do control people 's lives. this team are on their way to make some arrests. they got information about suspected illegal money lending at an address in leeds. and they are now ready to enter and search for evidence. is there anybody else on the premises? thank you, take a seat. some 300,000 people are in debt to loansharks across the uk and more money is debt to loansharks across the uk and more money is now debt to loansharks across the uk and more money is now being made available for investigations like this to try to stamp it out.|j available for investigations like this to try to stamp it out. i was starting to have literally

nightmares. i had a massive problem trying to sleep. we spoke to a man who got hooked on these fixed odds betting terminals after his business went downhill. he ran up thousands of pounds of debt by taking a loan from an illegal lender and doesn't wa nt to from an illegal lender and doesn't want to be identified. from an illegal lender and doesn't want to be identifiedlj from an illegal lender and doesn't want to be identified. i felt permanently anxious, i felt trapped, i felt a real sense of regret and shame which was destructive in its own way. i didn't know who to turn to. ijust had anxiety all the time. ijust to. ijust had anxiety all the time. i just felt a failure. do you have anything on the premises, anything illegal? back in leeds, the rate is in full swing and a married couple are inside. i'm arresting you both for illegal money lending. eventually, the suspects are led away, an investigation which is only just beginning. the government hopes the funding boost will lead to more prosecutions as well as support for victims. the humanitarian crisis

in syria will be discussed by representatives of 85 countries and organisations at a meeting in belgium today. the conference aims to mobilise aid for syrians displaced by the fighting. the international development secretary, penny mordaunt, will announce extra funding from britain. the british system for fire testing building materials is inadequate and under—estimates the ferocity and spread of real flames, according to a study commissioned after the grenfell tower disaster. the association of british insurers says tests are failing to reflect how cladding and insulation burns in the real world. our home affairs correspondent tom symmonds reports. three, two, one, ignition... it is called bs 8414 in the jargon, a standard test to prove the materials used in buildings are safe. they set light to a stack of wood and measure what happens. the government did this test after g re nfell tower, but today's report says the test itself is failing. why?

because it does not take account what happens in the real world, what happens in buildings like this. the association of british insurers commissioned their own test of the tests. they switch 20% of the wood used to start the fire with plastic, which often fuels real blazes. the result, a test fire which was 100 degrees hotter than the standard test with wood. another example, in this test, the panels were installed from bottom to top with no gaps between them. the fire barely get started, but on real buildings, the facades do have gaps, either by design or poor workmanship. look what happened when that was tested, oxygen driving the fire upwards. we are shocked by the findings, they demonstrate just how out of date the current testing regime is and how important it is to take account of how these building materials are used in practice, not as how they perform under lab conditions.

after the tragedy here, the government asked a senior engineer to review building regulations and testing, she will report soon. the insurance industry wants one of her findings to be a rethink of the fire test. tom symonds, bbc news. president macron of france and president trump have pledged to seek stronger measures to contain iran's nuclear activities and its regional ambitions. mr trump threatened to pull out of the current deal next month, warning iran would have "big problems" if it resumed its nuclear programme. may ourfriendship grow may our friendship grow even deeper. may our friendship grow even deeper. may our friendship grow even deeper. may our kinship grow even stronger. and may our secret liberty never die. god bless you, god bless france, god bless our alliance and god bless america. who wants to be a millionaire is returning to our screens,

but if you could bring back any tv programme what would it be? blackadder was the show most british people said they wanted to watch again, narrowly beating tomorrow's world. other popular choices in the yougov poll were only fools and horses and fawlty towers. tomorrow's world was one of those reasons to tune in, wasn't it? look at that, magnificent. fawlty towers as well. do you remember kickstart? motorcross. and dexter fletcher. and willo the whisper. i think i got it down to a tee. i would agree with

that. sally. i'm not saying anything. i thought you said you mollett —— modelled yourself on willo the whisper. can i throw button moon in there? frankl rock? everybody who is watching this now, under the age of 35, they will be going, what are they talking about? we are all products of our time. if you like dungeons & dragons, you can't help yourself. dan can talk about this all day. i have something incredible to talk about. there was about 60 minutes where liverpool we re about 60 minutes where liverpool were ridiculously brilliant. liverpool will take a three goal lead into the second leg of their champions league semi final against roma, but it could have been even better on a dramatic night at anfield. they led 5—0 after an incredible

first 70 minutes, that scoreline would've almost guaranteed them a place in the final, but roma scored twice in the final 10 minutes to make it 5—2. remember roma haven't conceeded a single goal at home in the champions league this season, so there's still hope for the italians. just a couple of days after winning the pfa women's player of the year, fran kirby has been named as the football writers' association player of the year. the chelsea and england forward is the first ever recipient of the award. the 2015 world snooker champion stuart bingham is out of this year's tournament after being beaten in his first round match by qualifier jack lisowski. china's ding junhui is through though to the second round. and jockey paul townend has been handed a 3—week ban after veering off course with his horse al boum photo at the end of the champion novice's chase at punchwestown. he was leading at the time before falling at the last fence. we re were they 0k? yes, they are fine. he

was leading, obviously. they literally fall over. a 3— week ban for that. really uncomfortable to watch. a review of the papers, everyone is talking about liverpool, injusta everyone is talking about liverpool, in just a moment. everyone is talking about liverpool, injust a moment. i nearly everyone is talking about liverpool, in just a moment. i nearly got bitten by a grand national once. remember when mon mome won the grand national at odds 100/1, i interviewed the stable hand, i'm not a very horsey person, horses can sense that, i was interviewing the sta ble sense that, i was interviewing the stable hand and after my second question, mon mome went in for a nibble. for you all for the microphone? for me. i didn't react well. —— for you, microphone? for me. i didn't react well. —— foryou, orforthe microphone? being a non— horsey type i had to stay calm but i didn't

react very well! i had i had it forcibly removed! horses would always love carol! or animals love —— all animals love carol. i got bitten by the queen's horse! carol can trump you with a royal horse! good morning, everyone. this morning it isa good morning, everyone. this morning it is a cool start to the day. in fa ct, it is a cool start to the day. in fact, for some in scotland, the temperatures were below freezing at 4am but now they're starting to rise as the sun gets up and the forecast todayis as the sun gets up and the forecast today is one of sunshine and showers. some of the showers will be heavy and thundery with some sunshine in between, and in that sunshine in between, and in that sunshine it'll feel pleasant enough but we do have quite a noticeable breeze today. it's coming around this area of low pressure, coming from the south—west or indeed the west, and it's producing the showers

you can see, blowing them in from the west, some developing further east but some getting across generally. a lot of dry weather to start the day with showers in parts of scotla nd start the day with showers in parts of scotland and northern ireland and a few of scotland and northern ireland and afew in of scotland and northern ireland and a few in the pennines, again drifting east, some developing in the heat of the day and in between some sunshine, some will be heavy and thundery with some hail and temperatures around about where they should be. some will see a bit below par. temperatures a bit lower than yesterday. as we head through the evening and overnight, we carry on with the showers for a time, many will fade and we'll have clearer skies. tonight you could see a touch of frost in prone areas, particularly in scotland and northern ireland, here we have the showers packing in and those are the temperature levels you can expect in towns and cities. a chilly start tomorrow if you're heading out early. again, a lot of dry weather around, some sunshine, then we've got these showers again coming in from the west, some getting over to the east, some like today will be

heavy and thundery with some hail. further south, they will be fewer and farther between. not as heavy either. another thing you will notice is an area of low pressure coming in from the south—west and by the middle of the afternoon we will produce more cloud, so sunshine in cornwall and pembridge will turn hazy, but by sunset the rain will start to come in across the isles of scilly and into cornwall and that rain will advance northwards as we head through friday —— pembrokeshire. still a question about its northern extent on friday and this is what we think at the moment, continuing to move across england and wales, some of that will be heavy and ahead of it in the far north of northern england, scotland and northern ireland, variable amounts of cloud, some sunshine and showers and some showers heavy and thundery with ale. the message is bring your brolly for the next few days —— hail. thanks, carol! we are having a debate about clocks

in the classroom. have you had any problems reading the time? i have problems reading the time? i have problems with a digital clock, get it wrong all the time. do you, carol? i did untili had my eyes lasered and now i can see! this is what we're talking about. this is the reason. you can explain it. i am amazed. schools are wanting to get rid of the old analogue clock because they say children can't tell the time—honoured traditional clock. naga is very distressed about that. ben did the same shake of the head asi ben did the same shake of the head as i did. surely it's the first thing you learn at school? it's not the first thing, try your shoelaces and go to the toilet on your own. —— tidy your shoelaces. shouldn't you be able to tell the time by that age? they are worried teachers spend

time working out the time and get it wrong and then mess up their exams —— students. wrong and then mess up their exams -- students. the maths exam would have been going really well. further maths and then you mess up the time. daily express. this is a quote from esther rantzen, daily express. this is a quote from esther ra ntzen, who daily express. this is a quote from esther rantzen, who has set up the silver line, saying the government needs to act to stem the tide of elderly abuse, making us a despair of the human race. we were talking about this a moment ago, the method of testing cladding is inadequate, the picture you are seeing is french president emmanuel macron with his wife and with donald and melania getting ready for photographs in the junior. -- getting ready for photographs in the junior. —— virginia. we will be

talking about this story and a new programme that looks at the obesity issue as well. donald trump sharing the love, kissing emmanuel macron here, this is the earworm for the morning. french kissing in the usa. do you remember the song? have you got that in your head already? i've had it since 5:50am. now everybody knows it! i don't mind! shall we ignore it and go to sally? too clever by far, wasn't it? the back page of the mirror, some of the headlines are great, talking about mo salah. if there was any doubt after sunday night when we got the result of the pfa player of the year, if there was any doubt whether he deserved it, the performance last night would silence those doubters, smoking according to the back page of the mirror, the back page of the daily mail. he was taken off before

the end last night. he got a fantastic reception from the fans but roma got two goals back. on a more serious note, there's a report in the telegraph, it is something we've been reporting all morning, about the liverpool fan seriously hurt last night, two men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. we will cover that through the morning on the programme, the man is 53 and in a critical condition. ben? ten seconds. any bank that is having to publish apologies like this are everywhere. this says it all, every paper this morning looking at what tsb has done in terms of getting this problem sorted, they said it would be sorted by 6pm sunday and i have just tried to log onto my account and i can't get on either. we have asked the boss to come on to talk about the

problem, they are considering the request so i'll keep you updated. very quickly, dna tests show the average adult only knows 1% of their family. but how far back are you going? hold on, this is in the daily mirror, most britons feel they only have a few cousins but research has shown they may have as many as 16,000 relatives. that is a big family get—together. 16,000 relatives. that is a big family get-together. i'm not cooking dinner for them! you are completely dismissing the story. i'm not, the initial statistics sounds more dramatic than it actually is. ancestry dna's russell james dramatic than it actually is. ancestry dna's russelljames said the fact that we can use that science in our own homes and connect with relatives is remarkable. 16,000! thank you, all! we often talk about the struggles faces by high street retailers but here at bbc breakfast, we've been looking at closures on your local parade of shops.

more than 900 chemists and newsagents have shut since 2015, while off—licences and butchers have also seen steep declines. but other businesses are opening, with fast food and specialist retailers filling the void. our business correspondent, nina warhurst, has been to a birmingham suburb where more stores are opening than closing. the row of shops, the parade, the shops on our estate, whatever you call them, these clusters of retailers smaller than a high street area big retailers smaller than a high street are a big part of our lives.|j retailers smaller than a high street are a big part of our lives. i mean, if they weren't here, you'd have to travel miles and i don't think people like travelling too far... this is small tv in birmingham, where the row of shops keeps on growing. it has a sense of... a nice sense of community. which is your favourite shop? it has to be the fish shop, hajees, i reckon, nevera dull moment in there! there are around 50,000 shots like these serving communities across england and wales, and while a few more are closing than they are

opening, they're still faring much better than larger high streets. and, over the years, better than larger high streets. and, overthe years, our better than larger high streets. and, over the years, our parades of shops have proved incredibly resilient. they sprung up in late victorian times, called the parade because shoppers enjoy posing as much as purchasing. by the 30s the suburbs were spreading and so came the chops to serve them. so who was living in these houses, who was shopping here? it was the new middle classes moving to the new suburbs and the people shopping here would normally have been the lady of the house. if you were coming to these parades in the 30s it was a sign you we re parades in the 30s it was a sign you were doing all right? it was. now you've got the classic hairdressers, the pharmacy, but you've also got things like a reptile shop, a blind shop, why is there that we had mixed? i think parades have involved, so people still need their daily shopping needs but the rents are quite cheap. as well as providing the essentials of life, they're also a really important part

of the culture and the life of the suburbs. but what next? well, town centres a re suburbs. but what next? well, town centres are losing out to online retail but click and collect orders, ta keaway retail but click and collect orders, takeaway food and plans for hundreds of thousands of new homes means some experts predict a bright future for the parade. i think it's a hugely exciting time. it is the kind of local shops and local community that people are going to want to go to before they go to work, when they come back from work, at the weekend and so on. it's a huge entrepreneurial opportunity in the 21st—century. entrepreneurial opportunity in the 21st-century. have a look at your row of shops, who's coming, who's going? how much are things changing while somehow staying the same? nina warhurst, bbc news, birmingham. more on that later and throughout the week, a subject we're looking at all week on breakfast. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. we will have the national headlines at 6:30am. see you soon. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alpa patel. two years on from the start

brutalist building because i can see all these geometric shapes around me. it kind of makes you look up and you look at all the colourful pyramids. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, it's a good service across all lines. 0n the roads, north—bound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow from blackwall lane. there are lane restrictions at the junction with lambeth palace road and westminster bridge road following a collision. in central london, whitehall will be closed from 8:30am this morning for the anzac day parade and wreath—laying at 11am. now the weather with kate. good morning. well, we have a

reasonably bright start out there this morning. a bit patchy cloud but some lovely sunny spells. it's dry, at least for now, it won't be until at least for now, it won't be until a little bit later on, those heavy showers will start to develop. we've got eight dean south westerlies westerly breeze making things feel fresh even in the sunshine and those showers will develop, some of those potentially quite heavy, quite frequent and we may even hear a rumble or two of them under. temperatures between 12 and 15. into the evening, still one or two showers while the sun's up and once it sets they will start to fizzle out. lengthy clear spells, predominantly a clear night. minimum temperature down between single figures again, between 4—7. a cool and bright start tomorrow morning. similar conditions, lots of dry weather around, still some showers, not quite as frequent as today or as heavy. temperatures very similar and then this area of low pressure sta rts then this area of low pressure starts to sweep towards us, bringing outbreaks of rain as we head towards friday, a drop in temperature and into the weekend will still see some

showers around with the temperature feeling cool in that north—easterly breeze. the message there is if you're heading out, take a brolly! i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to dan and naga. hello — this is breakfast, with dan walker and naga munchetty. we'll have the latest news and sport in just a moment but also coming up on breakfast: 5 million tsb customers are finally able to access their online accounts this morning after days of it problems — we'll speak to an independent financial advisor about what to do if you've been affected. also this morning, thousands of runners have pledged to "finish the race" for matt campbell, the chef who collapsed and died during the london marathon on sunday. we'll speak to the organisers about the huge amount of support they've already received. # wasn't he fine?

everyone is ready, alfie is ready so now we will see what the three judges in the court of appeal can do to us. evenif even if we can't get to italy, the judge ruled do it and would do it in the next of hours. jewish groups have dismissed a meeting with labour party leader jeremy corbyn as a "disappointing, missed opportunity". "the board of deputies of british jews" and the "jewish leadership council" both met with officials from the party last night to discuss alleged anti—semitism, but complained about the lack of action on the issue. labour says the meeting was "constructive" and it will settle the vast majority of outstanding cases by the end ofjuly. the british system for fire testing building materials is inadequate and under—estimates the ferocity and spread of real blazes, according to a study commissioned after the grenfell tower disaster. the association of british insurers says tests are failing to reflect how cladding and insulation burns outside of a test situation.

it also warns gaps in a building's facade and other flammable substances are not ta ken into account. president macron of france and president trump have pledged to seek stronger measures to contain iran's nuclear activities and its regional ambitions. mr trump threatened to pull out of the current deal next month, warning iran would have "big problems" if it resumed its nuclear programme. a uk ticket holder has won more than 121 million pounds in last night's euromillions draw. it's the third biggest lottery win ever in britain. players are being urged to check their tickets as camelot says it has plenty of champage on ice ready to help them celebrate! i think you can pretty much guarantee it wasn't you or me. i do know, i wouldn't do it anyway. guarantee it wasn't you or me. i do know, i wouldn't do it anywaylj

watch, i barely listen to it on the radio. itjust... on nights like that, i get really, really nervous. even at 5— nil, i was three nervous. i think going into last night, any ban would have taken it. as we've been saying, the lead from liverpool. brilliant from liverpool, but there's still a glimmer of hope for roma. david 0rnstein was watching. even by liverpool standards, this was an eye to live long in the memory. games under the anfield lights create a special atmosphere and this was up there with the best of them. liverpool's response was an attacking masterclass. mo salah's open every bit as spectacular as the season he's been enjoying. he moved last summer and was returning to haunt his former club, another fine

finish taking his tally to an astonishing 43 goals in 47 games. from scorer, mo salah turned provider, setting up to make it 3— nil. and further extending the lead. when fumino climbed higher, liverpool were in dreamland, a place in the final all but secured, however roma had other ideas and gave them selves a quiver of ——a glimmer of hope through dzeko, allowing the deficit to be further reduced. the tidejust allowing the deficit to be further reduced. the tide just about alive going into the second level they will —— leg. liverpool find themselves in a commanding position but how costly might those two away goals prove? we will find out in italy next wednesday. now we have two work again to rome, thatis now we have two work again to rome, that is no problem. it would have

been worked for us to do when we win five mill. rome would have tried everything to strike back anyway. that's not a big difference. we can win the second game as well, even if it isa win the second game as well, even if it is a little bit different. chelsea and england forward fran kirby has added another trophy to her collection. just a couple of days after winning the pfa women's player of the year, she's been named the first ever football writer's association player of the year. she's scored 22 goals for chelsea in the women's super league this season and says the latest award is "so special". alastair cook says authorities must still protect test match cricket as they chase new audiences in shorter formats of the game. the england and wales cricket board last week announced plans for a new 100 ball competition — shorter than the current twenty20 and the former england captain says the right balance must be found how it works is really hard because obviously at the moment, all the money is in the shorter formats of the game, it is obvious to see,

pretty much every tournament is thriving wearers test cricket isn't thriving wearers test cricket isn't thriving as it was say ten years ago because there is another alternative but there must be web way of trying to combine the two. the opening day ofjump racing's punchestown festival in ireland saw a chaotic finish to the champion novice's chase al boum photo led going into the last fence only forjockey paul townend to veer off course after appearing to think he was being directed away from the jump. he took out finian's 0scar in the process and has been given a 21 day ban. all horses and jockeys were okay. the 2015 world snooker champion stuart bingham is out of this years tournament. he follows other former champions shaun murphy and mark selby with a first round defeat — beaten 10—7 by qualifier jack lisowski, who won his first match at the crucible. and there was a bit of showboating from mark williams in sheffield. he got himself out of an awkward

spot. did you notice what he did? he didn't even need to look at the cueball. there he is. that's clever, isn't it? could you do that? clever angles. very clever. nearly two years ago, an internal labour inquiry, set up to look at allegations of anti—semitism, found there was an "occasionally toxic atmosphere" in the party. the row has continued to overshadow labour and yesterday jewish groups expressed "disappointment" at a lack of concrete action after a meeting with leaderjeremy corbyn. jonathan arkush from the board of deputies of britishjews was at that meeting and joins us now. thank you very much are joining us. being described as disappointing.

why is that? it was cordial but a com plete why is that? it was cordial but a complete lack of substance. lots of warm words and we suggested a pretty minimal list of outcomes which would put some action to the words. and we got none of them. is it up to you to decide what the labour party should do? it's up to us to complain if british jews feel at risk, unprotected, vulnerable from the upsurge in anti—semitism that is prevalent currently in the far left of the labour party. which the labour leader has so far done little to address. jeremy corbyn said there

are to address. jeremy corbyn said there a re processes to address. jeremy corbyn said there are processes in place to implement change. why is that not good enough? there is no timeframe. and jenny formby, who has come in as secretary, admitted that the processes we re secretary, admitted that the processes were unfit the purpose. she says she absolutely welcomes that. but we have had, we don't know, it could be hundreds of members referred for disciplinary action and some of those have been kicked into the long grass per well over a year. this disappointment is reflected, known as saying you went in there, you went in with some expectations. why has this led to such disappointment. there is a

recognised definition of anti—semitism agreed to buy 28 governments, agreed by 132 local authorities in this country. the scottish government, the welsh government, the uk government that has some biased reason, labour says it doesn't agree with all of it, only some of it. then we asked for the disciplinary process to be subject to some sort of independent ombudsman and the case has been kicked into the long grass per year, we could say to the ombudsman, could you look into this. these are entirely minimal outcomes that we hoped for and are expected. we did well in advance the labour because they knew exactly what we were seeking. and let's be clear, jeremy corbyn is the leader of the party now nearly three years. it's a great disappointment. we have been urging

him to take these measures. after nearly three years, nothing. him to take these measures. after nearly three years, nothingm seems clear there is a disappointment from your side in terms of the wayjeremy corbyn has added —— active. 0ne incident by the editor of the jewish chronicle. added —— active. 0ne incident by the editor of thejewish chronicle. this is stephen pollard. he said, on accou nts is stephen pollard. he said, on a ccou nts of is stephen pollard. he said, on accounts of people in the room, jeremy corbyn shrugged, shrugged his shoulders at one point and this was after he was asked, why don't you stop these people. after people were being cheered by labour supporters, the parents ofjonathan goldstein. he says it is not in my name. mr jeremy corbyn said, he was asked, why are you not responding with a passion you showed over the windrush ‘s gamble? he shrugged. were you party to this? yes, i was there in

the room sitting next to mr goldstein when he related the story. i'm not sought —— not sure i saw a shrine but i didn't see much reaction. do you expect to see more reaction. do you expect to see more reaction or is that typical of what you've seen ofjeremy corbyn?” expect to see actions that go with the stated commitment to address anti—semitism in the party. i expect mr corbyn to put some action on his interview last night when he said, "ltis interview last night when he said, "it's wrong to say the complaints are smears. " what he needs to do is when senior members of his party, like diane abbott, who sits next to him in parliament, says they are smears, he's going to say loudly and publicly, know they are not, and we're waiting for him to do just that. jonathan, president of the

board of deputies of britishjews, thanks for talking to us on brea kfast. thanks for talking to us on breakfast. we will speak to barry gardnerfrom breakfast. we will speak to barry gardner from the labour party at 7:20am this morning with more information on their perspective on that. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it has got chilly again, hasn't it? it has, and getting cooler into the weekend, naga. good morning. this morning we have a chilly start, temperatures fell to just below freezing in parts of scotland but now the sun is up it is picking up already. the forecast today is one of sunshine and showers, some showers will be heavy and thundery with hail and we've also got a western south—westerly wind blowing m, western south—westerly wind blowing in, quitea western south—westerly wind blowing in, quite a keen wind in the west, some of those showers will blow over to the east, we will see some developing anyway in the easter so showers becoming more widespread. nobody really immune to one so if you're stepping out but a brolly in

your bag. a dry start in central and eastern areas today, some sunshine, showers already in scotland and northern ireland will push further east and further showers developing asi east and further showers developing as i mentioned. in the wind, feeling cooler than the temperatures suggest. most will see temperatures where they should be at this stage in april, a fewjust below, certainly cooler in the south—east compare it to yesterday when we had 18.5 in gravesend. —— compare it. through the night a lot of the showers will fade, we will keep them going in the west, a touch of frost in northern ireland and scotland. tomorrow morning, if you're out early, a chilly start but again a lot of dry weather around, rather like this morning. a fair bit of sunshine. but the showers, already in the west, and have been there through the night, once again will progress to the east and we will cede some developing again in the east and rather like today, heavy and thundery with some hail at times. —— we will see some. showers

will be fewer and further between and won't be as heavy, but low pressure coming in from the atlantic will throw more cloud ahead of it in the isles of scilly, cornwall and pembrokeshire so your sunshine will turn hazy and then it will become cloudy and by sunset the rain will come in. on friday, that band of rain associated with low pressure continues to push steadily north, still a question as to its northern extent, but this is what we think at the moment, and for the far north of england, scotland and northern ireland, sunshine and showers but again some of those showers could be again some of those showers could be a bit beefy. don't like that! i knew you were going to say that. she loves you, carol. of course i do, ijust don't like what carol says! put her on mute! thank you! see you later, carol! it was supposed to be a smooth transfer to a new state—of—the—art computer system. it never seems to quite work out that way though does it? ben is looking at tsb's troubles.

i don't think an apology in the newspaper will be quite enough? we have asked the boss to talk to us and explain what's going on, but you're right, they‘ re and explain what's going on, but you're right, they're having to put things like this in the papers. the problem all started because it was trying to move all its customer accou nts trying to move all its customer accounts from an old computer system toa accounts from an old computer system to a new one this weekend but as we know, it didn't go according to plan and customers have been locked out of their accounts for four days. i have spoken to tsb this morning and they say services are back online but it will limit access to the website and the app to cope with a surge in demand because lots of people clearly after four days will try to get back in. it's had a big impact, people have been unable to pay bills and withdraw cash or make tra nsfers pay bills and withdraw cash or make transfers and as this small business owner told us, he couldn't pay his staff. the problems i've had since sunday

night is i haven't been able to pay my salary is, basically log in and see what i've got in my account, and that's affecting my staff and affecting my business and people are lying on paying bills and rent and so on. lying on paying bills and rent and so on. so, yes, it's putting us on a lot of pressure. 0nline banking is obviously very important and as a customer i need it to be reliable so yes, it's put me in a situation where i have to consider whether this is a reliable enough bank to work with. paul pester the tsb boss has said he is deeply sorry and promised no—one will be out of pocket. so what are your rights? louise claro is with me, she's a financial adviser. it isa it is a bit ofa it is a bit of a disaster? the disappointing we are having this conversation this morning. when we talk about no one being out of pocket, we're getting lots of m essa g es pocket, we're getting lots of messages from people, and we will look through some in a moment, but

people could be out of pocket, the fa ct people could be out of pocket, the fact they aren't able to pay their bills and access their transfers, and in some cases they can't pay staff. let's start with the first one, if you can't access your account, what can you do? not a lot other than looking at alternative means. we are at beg, borrow and steal from your next—door neighbour and hope to pay them back! there's not a lot you can do, you have to be practical. 0ne not a lot you can do, you have to be practical. one of the things that comes out of this is don't rely on one banking institution for your working capital on a day to day basis, always have a backup with another bank or building society. tsb is trying to build its customer base because it was split from lloyds and it is trying to set itself up as a new rival, and this isn't going to be good for them. it's a lack of confidence in the industry now. this isn't going to affect tsb, it will affect all consumers that use banks. we have a

number of banks that are hiding out and separating over the coming months and years and the challenger banks are so reliant on the it coming through, and for financial advice, or reliant on it, this is not good. they have told us, i want to show you what tsb are saying on their website, they say things are back up and running. they are going to limit access to internet banking, they are going to do that so customers can log in and make sure it's a good service when you are in. we've had messages this morning and one message has said he has had to borrow from friends and familyjust to be able to get things done. it's ridiculous that people are in this situation. what do they need to do, how can they get in touch with tsb? keep a note of everything causing you financial potential loss. that a really easy example, making a payment to a credit card, it hasn't gone through so you get a late payment fee. will get that back and you need to make a letter of

complaint. the alternative —— you will get that back. you can't pay your staff and the staff can't get their mortgage is paid and they get bank charges, your staff will come to you and they will be seeking some sort of recovery of losses. if you have a house purchase that's going to go through and you have missed your purchase date, there will be penalties for that so you need to keep a note and in the first instance, contact the banking branch or by telephone to lodge a complaint. it has to be a dissatisfaction, verbal or in writing, but get in contact with the bank and you will get recovery. ultimately if you're not satisfied you have the financial on the but i don't think we will need to go down that track foremost, the bank be helping. top tip, keep evidence -- for most people. yes, that's right. thanks very much for that. keep records of any expenses you incur and the bank should pay them back and the bank should pay them back and more after 7am on all of that.

voters in england will head to the polls next thursday with seats on 150 councils up for grabs. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been to anfield in liverpool where there hasn't been a conservative councillor for more than 25 years to see how issues like potholes, public spaces and cuts are affecting this labour heartland. this is what red passion, pride and loyalty looks like. in football. but in poleksic... local elections, tony? oh, my god god! they've been overwhelmingly read here since 2010 but before that, yellow. in liverpool, the coalition was viewed as a deal with the devil and the libdems paid the price. but the cuts that followed have hurt. what is the number—1 local election issue for you? definitely the potholes. potholes, definitely? anything else? just potholes. they're building houses on all the

fields, houses, where are then kids meant to play football now? this is where liverpool football club was created back in 1892, a pub where dreams were born, some bigger than others. do you think conservatives genuinely could make inroads in liverpool? we're hoping to, we have some really good young candidates, most of whom weren't actually born when margaret thatcher was in power nationally. what do you make of that? it's fantasy politics really. 0ne that? it's fantasy politics really. one thing people aren't in this city is stupid. they recognise my hands are tied because of the government cuts. the reality is there hasn't been a conservative councillor in liverpool for more than 25 years, but blues and yellows are pinning their hopes on potholes and parks, prompting a relate on is. they're tired of some of the decisions such as building on our green spaces. we've got situations like we've got the money to invest in new football stadiums but we're

not putting that money into front—line services. not putting that money into front-line services. funding frontline services here isn't easy. council tax revenue doesn't even cover the cost of adult social care. they're saying they're trying to invest their way out in housing, in regeneration in once derelict places like this where the one—time chief executive of liverpool trouble club tells me the business approaches the right approach. people want all those frontline services provided but there isn't the money and i think the city here and may have done a good job of trying to find the right investments to generate of that income. but front—line services are vital. andy is a support worker with kids in care. it's getting to the point where more children are going into care, right? more families are suffering. when it comes to local elections, every party makes a fantastic job of blaming elections, every party makes a fantasticjob of blaming the council, including the government. his response, tojoin momentum, but this isjohn his response, tojoin momentum, but this is john durnin, his response, tojoin momentum, but this isjohn durnin, who signed for

liverpool in 86. you played with who? kenny dalglish, ian rush. john's father was a labour shop steward butjohn went even vote in this election. he'd be turning in his grave my dad, he would go to the polling station with me and watch me vote for labour. the liberals are gunning forjohn's a vote, the green party too, precarious times like a head even if they can keep the competition at bay. and in parts of the country we're seeing council is close to ba nkru ptcy, the country we're seeing council is close to bankruptcy, while i don't know liverpool's finances, it's not ha rd to know liverpool's finances, it's not hard to imagine they might be getting close to that point themselves. so far no one has come close to stealing the red lead here but the heat of cuts grows ever more intense. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. you can find out more about the local elections in england on the bbc news website. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc

london news, i'm alpa patel. two years on from the start of the southern rail strikes and the government is being accused of ignoring the country's longest ever industrial dispute. members of rmt union have been striking in a row over the role of guards. it says it's disgraceful that no talks have been held between the rail companies, the union and the transport secretary. taking part in physical activity can lower the chance of developing depression according to london scientists. a team of researchers from king's college london looked at nearly 300,000 people across the world and found those that did more exercise had lower odds of developing depression later in life regardless of age and where they live. pupils from south london have been learning about the southbank‘s distinctive architecture. the concrete style is known as brutalism and an exhibition will open at the royal festival hall celebrating it. it will include work by some of the students from a school built in the same year.

the children also got the chance to critique the building. it's really fun being inside a brutalist building because i can see all these geometric shapes around me. it kind of makes you look up and you look at all the colourful pyramids. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, it's a good service across all lines. 0n the roads, north—bound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow from blackwall lane. at eltham common, there are queues at the junction for the a207 shooters hill road and the south circular due to a burst water main. there are lane restrictions at the junction with lambeth palace road and westminster bridge road following a collision. and in central london, whitehall will be closed from 8:30am this morning for the anzac day parade and wreath laying at 11am. now the weather with kate. good morning.

well, we have a reasonably bright start out there this morning. a bit patchy cloud but some lovely sunny spells. it's dry, at least for now, it won't be until a little bit later on those heavy showers will start to develop. we've got quite a keen south—westerly westerly breeze making things feel fresh even in the sunshine and those showers will develop, some of those potentially quite heavy, quite frequent and you may even hear a rumble or two of thunder. temperatures between 12 and 15. now, into the evening, still one or two showers while the sun's up and once it sets they'll start to fizzle out. lengthy clear spells, in fact predominantly a clear night. minimum temperature down between single figures again, between 4—7. a cool, bright start tomorrow morning. similar conditions, lots of dry weather around, still some showers, just not quite as frequent as today or as heavy. temperatures very similar. then this area of low pressure starts to sweep towards us, bringing some outbreaks of rain as we head towards friday, a drop in temperature and into the weekend we'll still see some showers around with the temperature feeling cool

in that north—easterly breeze. i'm back in half an hour. if you're heading out have a lovely day. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to dan and naga. bye for now. hello — this is breakfast, with dan walker and naga munchetty. back in court today — the parents of seriously ill toddler alfie evans will appeal again to be allowed to take him abroad... last night a judge ruled that the family couldn't leave the country for further treatment — his parents say they won't stop fighting. we want to go to italy. everyone is ready, alfie is ready so now we will see what the three judges in the court of appeal will do for us. good morning — it's wednesday the 25th of april. also this morning:

a "disappointing, missed opportunity" — jewish leaders sayjeremy corbyn failed to commit to concrete action at a meeting to tackle anti—semitism in the labour party. a man is in critical condition after he was attacked before liverpool's match with roma last night — 2 italians have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. tsb says its banking services are back online — after customers were left unable to log in, pay the bills, or make transfers. i'll explain your rights if you've been affected. in sport, a brilliant champions league night for liverpool at anfield as they put five past roma, but two late goals for the italians mean they aren't out of the semi final just yet. carol has the weather. it is italy start, you are quite right but the some of us, the dry and sunny one. -- it is a chilly

start. we have a cold wind to accompany the weather. more in 15 minutes. first, our main story. the parents of the terminally—ill toddler alfie evans are to challenge a ruling preventing them from taking him to italy for further treatment. the case will be heard by the court of appeal this afternoon. we can speak now to our reporter andy gill who is outside alder hey children's hospital in liverpool. good morning. does more about what is expected to happen next. well, this is another court of appeal hearing. alfie's parents are hoping to challenge a ruling that they are not allowed to take into italy. the family's lawyers said that he is significantly better. this follows the fact that he breathed on his own up the fact that he breathed on his own up his life supported alder hey was

withdrawn. he did not suspect that alfie was significantly better. there was a slight change in the position of the court. they did say they would allow him to go home or allow him to go to a hospice but the hospital said they are worried the press will try to take into italy but there are a number of court rulings which it said that is not in the best interest of alfie evans. in around 10 minutes' time we'll speak to a consultant paediatrician, dr ravi jayaram. about what the parents might be going through and the medical staff as well. it is difficult for both sides. jewish groups have dismissed a meeting with labour party leader jeremy corbyn as a "disappointing, missed opportunity". the board of deputies of british jews,

and thejewish leadership council both met with officials from the party last night to discuss alleged anti—semitism, but complained about the lack of action on the issue. 0ur political correspondent eleanor garnier is in westminsterfor us. eleanor, sounds like this row is going to run and run? jeremy corbyn might have apologised to the anti—semitism in his party, he said he is committed to reaching it out. that is not managed to heal the deep divisions. a lack of action on that meeting. a missed opportunity. any differences after that meeting are down to detail rather than fundamentaljeremy corbyn agreed to most of what he was

asked to buy there were some practical difficulties. speeding up disciplinary action. he did agree to do that but he didn't want to set a fixed timetable because that might leave the party open to illegal challenge. but i do think thejewish groups and their verdict that there was a lack of action means both internally and externally as well. we will put that to be trade secretary soon. a 53—year—old man is in a critical condition after he was attacked before liverpool's champions league match against roma last night. two italian men, aged 25 and 26, are being questioned on suspicion of attempted murder after the assault outside a pub in anfield. the victim from ireland was left with a serious head injury during a night of angry clashes between fans. tsb says its banking services are back online this morning — after customers were left unable to log in, pay the bills, or make transfers.

ben is here with the latest. when the bank is having to issue a full—page when the bank is having to issue a full— page apology, it's when the bank is having to issue a full—page apology, it's bad. what is being —— i've spoken to tsb and they say they are sorry it's happened. it isa say they are sorry it's happened. it is a planned upgrade. they warned customers about it. it was supposed to be done and dusted by six o'clock. people are slowly able to get back in. a lot of people will be getting error messages. they are going to limit access to the act and the online site. if you imagine customers have not been to access

theirapps on customers have not been to access their apps on the website. the bank says that well, probably not able to cope. you might still see an error message or a warning. that is what tsb are telling us, the current service status. the mobile apps, back up and running. we've restricted the number of customers who can long it —— login at once. you will also notice that tick next to branches. if you need money, if you need cash, and going a branch and use an atm it reduce the stress if you have bills to pay. the bosses have said, no one will be out of pocket. people have not been paid. you're waiting for the mortgage money to go through. keep copies of

absolutely everything. make sure you get paid back. excellent advice. 300,000 people are in debt to illegal money lenders in the uk. the government has announced additional measures to crackdown on lenders who target vulnerable people. more than 100,000 pounds already seized from loan sharks will be spent on helping victims and an additional 5.5 million pounds of government funding is to be used to investigate and increase prosecutions. the british system for fire testing building materials is inadequate and under—estimates the ferocity and spread of real flames, according to a study commissioned after the grenfell tower disaster. the association of british insurers says current procedures fail to reflect how cladding and insulation burns outside of a test situation. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds reports. three, two, one, ignition... it is called bs 8414 in the jargon, a standard test to prove the materials used in buildings are safe.

they set light to a stack of wood and measure what happens. the government did this test after g re nfell tower, but today's report says the test itself is failing. why? because it does not take account what happens in the real world, what happens in buildings like this. the association of british insurers commissioned their own test of the tests. they switch 20% of the wood used to start the fire with plastic, which often fuels real blazes. the result, a test fire which was 100 degrees hotter than the standard test with wood. another example, in this test, the panels were installed from bottom to top with no gaps between them. the fire barely get started, but on real buildings, the facades do have gaps, either by design or poor workmanship. look what happened when that was tested, oxygen driving the fire upwards. we are shocked by the findings, they demonstrate just how out of date the current testing regime is and how

important it is to take account of how these building materials are used in practice, not as how they perform under lab conditions. after the tragedy here, the government asked a senior engineer to review building regulations and testing, she will report soon. the insurance industry wants one of her findings to be a rethink of the fire test. tom symonds, bbc news. president macron of france and president trump have pledged to seek stronger measures to contain iran's nuclear activities and its regional ambitions. mr trump threatened to pull out of the current deal next month, warning iran would have "big problems" if it resumed its nuclear programme. we've been talking about the desperately sad story of alfie evans this morning. he's the terminally ill toddler at the centre of a prolonged legal row between doctors who believe it's time to withdraw treatment, and his parents who

want to extend it. alfie was first admitted to hospital in december 2016 when he was suffering seizures — he was just seven months old. 12 months later, the hospital and alfie's parents couldn't agree over his care. alder hey applied to the high court to remove ventilation and end parental rights. in february this year, the high court backed alder hey — and all subsequent appeals so far have failed. earlier this month, protestors began to gather outside the hospital. some are accused of abusing staff and intimidating other patients. last week alfie's father met the pope, who has pledged his support for the toddler to be treated in rome. but the courts here have stood firm.

mourner at this guy will mourner at this on monday night, alfie's ventilation was withdrawn and yesterday a high courtjudge said he should end his life in a hospital, hospice or his home — but not abroad. on the rare occasions where that doesn't happen. if there is still no

agreement, it has to go to legal services. this situation is interesting because yes, it's gone to legal services so it has to be in the public domain but of course, it's been on social media as well. what has happened, parents have every sympathy because who wouldn't wa nt to every sympathy because who wouldn't want to cling on to every hope that there might be but what seems to happen? very great areas of medical ethics. you are right, you are wrong, black—and—white, and as a consequence of that. the doctors and their making the wrong decision. what is upsetting and what i find very depressing is the doctors and nurses are being called murderers, they are being told they are in a conspiracy to cover things up at the need to take a step back and ask why people are thinking this, do people genuinely believe that caring and

highly trained medical and nursing staff are going out of their way to do harm. lots of it is the family are desperate, and this is going around the world and the uk, medically, what would the staff be going through, how difficult is it to make those decisions with the parents their? it's a hard thing to talk about anyway, bearing in mind normally in the situations we've been looking after children like alfie for many months and we've built upa alfie for many months and we've built up a relationship with the pa rents built up a relationship with the parents and we become emotionally engaged with the child as well. it's a very difficult situation to start with and i get the impression people seem to think the medical staff can com pletely seem to think the medical staff can completely switch off and make decisions and not think about feelings, but believe me, the staff will be suffering. they will work to do their best, notjust for alfie but all the other children in the intensive care unit under this amazing pressure from outside where people are telling them we think

you're bad people. the other issue here is all decisions that are made, and this is a really important point, all decisions that are made are made with the best interests of the child at heart and that's absolutely key to this. in our ethical and legal framework, we absolutely key to this. in our ethical and legalframework, we have to look at what are perceived to be the best interests of the child and i think the stumbling point here and where the point of disagreement is who should make that final decision? is it what the parents want or is it what is felt to be in the best interests of the child? most of the time those two are the same things but sometimes they're not, therefore things need to be looked at independently. briefly if you can, no, it's not easy, what support is given to staff and parents after?m terms of bereavement, when a child dies, be that a very quick process ora dies, be that a very quick process or a long drawnout process, there are bereavement services in place for pa rents are bereavement services in place for parents and that's very important. in terms of staff, that's

interesting, certainly when i started my training back in the 90s, we we re started my training back in the 90s, we were basically left to get on with it. it's been recognised the impact on staff can be huge, and there's a lot of mutual support groups, people sit down and review the case and talk about things with each other and talk about how we feel with each other and i think that's really important because i think we need to not lose sight of the fact the doctors and nurses involved here are human beings as well. that case of alfie evans, the pa rents a re well. that case of alfie evans, the parents are challenging the order they can't take into italy, and that will be heard by the court of appeal this afternoon. thanks for coming in and discussing that with us. it's been a pleasure, thank you. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it's taking a turn, it is chilly, is this right in terms of temperature? more less, top of the class for you, more less this week through the week temperatures will be slightly below where they should be at this stage in april. today we have a chilly

start, thames fell to just below freezing in parts of scotland, picking up now in the morning sunshine and we're looking at sunshine and we're looking at sunshine showers today that temperatures. low pressure is dominating the weather and the wind coming around it is pushing into our shores as a westerly or south—westerly, a brisk and, we see some of the showers coming from the west and drifting to the east —— a brisk wind. it's not going to be warned, though. we have got sunshine and showers, some showers heavy and thundery with hailand in some showers heavy and thundery with hail and in between we see some of the sunshine with temperatures roughly around 11, 12, 13, 1a. yesterday it was 18.5 in gravesend. through the evening and overnight eventually we lose a lot but not all of the showers, showers continuing in western areas, still a breezy night in prospect but we also have clear skies and tonight there's the chance of pockets of frost developing, particularly in prone

areas of northern ireland and scotland. a chilly start to the day tomorrow, still showers in the west, some of those getting over to the east as we go through the day and once again, like today, some will be heavy and thundery with hail. as we come further south, although there still will be showers in the forecast, it won't be as heavy and they will be fewer and further between. what we've got coming in from the atlantic is an area of low pressure and that will initially introduced cloud in the isles of scilly, cornwall and pembrokeshire, so your sunshine will turn hazy for a time, then we'll see it return to crowd before the rain marches in by sunset. through friday that rain will progress steadily north. —— cloud. this is where we think the northern extent will be but that could change. ahead of it for scotla nd could change. ahead of it for scotland and northern ireland and the far north of england, if the rain doesn't arrive here, we're looking at again a day of bright spells, sunshine and showers with some showers heavy and thundery with some showers heavy and thundery with
