who knew and when? the home secretary, number 10, everyone round here says that they're sorry now. but how did the windrush scandal slip the government's notice? her department is taking most of the strain. i bitterly, deeply regret i didn't see it as more than individual cases that had gone wrong that needed addressing. i didn't see it as a systemic issue until very recently. but does she think as many in westminster do that the problems are a by—product of the government's overall approach? home secretary, do you agree that the net migration target has distorted the decision—making and led us to many of these problems? i do not think that has anything to do with it.

have you asked the prime minister to get rid of the net migration targets? i have not discussed that with the prime minister. i will not be drawn any further on private conversations i might have with the prime minister. you said when initially asked by the chair that you had not discussed the net migration target with the prime minister and then you said you will not be drawn on private conversations. which answer? in the context of what we're here to discuss, the windrush saga, the windrush sadness really, i have not discussed net migration targets with the prime minister, what the chair was asking me about. those who made britain their home were failed by the government, the government itself has admitted, treated as if they'd had no right to live here because they didn't always have the paperwork to prove it. ministers are trying to make amends now. but there's no escaping from the mess round here. the windrush generation are not illegal, they are not illegal, they are here legally. that is why we are providing

the support to enable them to get the documents for their status. the current home secretary inherited a failing policy and made it worse. isn't it time she took responsibility and resigned? and just as commonwealth tradition was celebrated on whitehall today, some of the government's top brass are arguing for bigger changes to the british welcome for people from other countries. the foreign secretary suggesting yesterday in cabinet there should be an amnesty for those who have come here illegally but have lived in the uk for more than ten years. are you at odds with the prime minister on immigration? that idea was about as welcome in number ten as the hail storm later. but the windrush scandal has not just embarrassed the government, has but underscored the differences within.

our political correspondent alex forsyth is in westminster for us. so we have a clear admission now from the government that the current problems affecting the windrush generation have been known about for some time. amber rudd said some different things, because as you would expect, the mps push your heart on this question. she did say high commissioners from some commonwealth countries didn't flag it back in 2016, but the home secretary said she was not yet clear which departments were made aware, but the bbc understands the foreign 0ffice but the bbc understands the foreign office was told and did flag those concerns to the home office and number ten, too. the whole point she made in the committee was there were warning signs over successive governments. this had not happened overnight. she says it was with

deep, personal sadness that this had not been picked up earlier, leading to all these personal, very distressing cases we have been hearing about. but she did place to put it right. but this question as to whether early warnings were missed or ignored is what this will go in coming days. it certainly will not alleviate pressure on the home secretary or the government more broadly. and no suggestion on any change in overall immigration policy from the government despite the suggestion from boris johnson from the government despite the suggestion from borisjohnson in cabinet yesterday? that is right. they have said no amnesty. what this scandal has highlighted is the overall approach to immigration, very much the focus now, and we heard jeremy corbyn in prime minister bosma questioned calling him a cruel approach to them immigration. the prime ministers and home secretary again insisting it was the right approach to creating what was a hostile environment for illegal immigrants but being very clear that members of the windrush

generation should not fall into that can't because they were in england it legally. but mps raised again and again thoughts of individual cases of their constituents were they said the systems in the home office were not working. amber rudd did place to look at those, but very clear that they believe that focusing on illegal immigration and making sure the illegal immigrants do not have access to services was still the right approach, but it does seem they will have to address some flaws in the windows cases are currently being processed. and amber rudd medically or while she was appearing in front of the committee that something like 7000 cases are being reviewed now, could take a while to get through all those. she was talking about this question of whether there have been any wrongful deportations of members of the windrush generation, and she said to her knowledge at this stage no. and the reason is taking so long, with a definitive answer is the visuals are

having to go back through thousands of cases stretching back some time to make sure there had not been other mistakes made in the be rectified since you cannot give a clear a nswer. rectified since you cannot give a clear answer. it highlights the scale this problem, notjust in terms of number of cases but little consequences of it, too. 0k, alice, thank you for that. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:a0pm this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are pippa crerar, who's deputy political editor for the guardian, and dia chakravarty, brexit editor at the telegraph. stay with us for that. the french president emmanuel macron has used a rare speech to the joint houses of the us congress to denounce nationalism and isolationism. mr macron said such policies "could be tempting" as a "temporary answer", but they "would only inflame the fears of our citizens". mr macron is the first foreign leader to be afforded a us state visit by mr trump, and he used the opportunity to talk about the importance of international co—operation to combat global threats. this requires for more than ever the

united states involvement as your role as decisive for creating and safeguarding today's free world. the united states is the one who invented this militarism. you are the one that now but who has to help to preserve and reinvented. joining us now our state department correspondent barbara plett usher. interesting state of affairs when a frenchman that explains marseille to a bunch of americans. shows the times, doesn't not? it was popular

with the democrats in congress, because was stating what american view of world policy has been and it is under threat from donald trump. it was a clever speech. mr macron talking about shared history and shared challenges in saying the way to get through it is to work together. all those who feel angry about being left out by globalism, yes, i hear that, that is what allowed mr trump to be elected, but not to respond to that with nationalism but two were together in a global context. and then he went together on several issues where france and europe have different views in the us, climate change and track. and study what he thought the solution would be, again in that framework of solution would be, again in that fra mework of co nsta ntly solution would be, again in that framework of constantly saying this is based on our shared values. i think the speech was quite cleverly crafted. but those americans who may

have caught the speech, what do you think is going to go down?|j have caught the speech, what do you think is going to go down? i think it will go down on partisan lines. this is a very deeply divided country. and i think those people who do not support donald trump and his approach would feel yes, this is reasserting what we believe america is about. and for those people who do support donald trump and his vision and approach, they would say this is a european effort to try and counter what he is trying to do. so idid not counter what he is trying to do. so i did not have any polls to report 01’ i did not have any polls to report orany i did not have any polls to report or any clearer i did not have any polls to report 01’ any clearer response i did not have any polls to report or any clearer response to tell you about, but i would say based on the polarization in the country, that is the response i would expect. sure. and the proof in the pudding as far as mr macron‘s success in trying to convince the american president that perhaps he should rejoin the paris climate accord and the various other things. a first test of that will be

next month when the president decides whether or not he will stick with the iran nuclear deal. yes, thatis with the iran nuclear deal. yes, that is right. in roughly mid may, he has to make a decision about whether to restore sanctions on iran 01’ whether to restore sanctions on iran or continue to extend the exemption on sanctions, and that would in effect decide whether america pulls out of the agreement or not. and a big part of mr macron‘s bogus on this trip was to try to convince donald trump to stay in this deal. he says the deal is flawed, we need a much bigger arrangement to try and cope with all the issues that donald trump is worried about, and that sort of appeal to mr macron. a bigger, better deal, maybe think about that. but mr macron did make clear in his speech today that he was not saying he would pull out of the existing nuclear accord, but we will stay in the app as it is what we have agreed to and it is the best we have agreed to and it is the best we have agreed to and it is the best we have is thus far. he did make that very clear. but he did sort of

suggest to donald trump that maybe we can build on up rather than reject it and start from scratch. and that is what they are aiming to do, the europeans, to try keep donald trump from scrapping the deal and give them more time to work on and give them more time to work on an arrangement that will make the americans happier with what the situation is. ok, many thanks, barbara, live from washington. a danish inventor has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of the swedish journalist kim wall. peter madsen had claimed the 30—year—old writer had died from breathing in exhaust fumes aboard his home built submarine in copenhagen harbour last august. madsen had admitted dismembering her body, but the court ruled her death wasn't an accident. maddy savage has more. in sentencing peter madsen to life, the judge described the killing as cynically planned and of a brutal nature. he also suggested that peter madsen had shown little concern or remorse for kim wall, even texting his wife just minutes after he killed her. he suggested it was something

of a random killing. he had invited other women aboard his submarine that summer, but they had said no. kim wall, a promising freelance journalist from sweden who loved to travel. last august, she was about to move to china with her danish boyfriend, but first she had one last story to finish. in the same neighbourhood here in copenhagen, where the young couple had been living, she boarded a submarine built by peter madsen, a danish inventor she'd been wanting to interview. but a day later, the submarine sank, and he was rescued without kim. peter madsen changed his story about what happened three times. he initially said he'd dropped kim off safely, then said she died when a door hatch fell on her head. in court, he admitted cutting up her body, but argued she'd died from toxic fumes on the submarine first. but during the trial, the prosecutor painted a picture of a man

with narcissistic and psychopathic tendencies, who relished watching violent videos and set out to kill the journalist. he just didn't care about anything else. so he was not so caring about other people if they couldn't help him out. he was loving the people who helped him out, but if he didn't see any purpose for you, you might as well disappear. the case has grabbed headlines around the world. some have drawn parallels to horror movies and nordic—noir crime thrillers, something many here in scandinavia have found upsetting. this is a safe area for the normal population. this is a very unusual case. you've been in touch with kim wall's family during the investigation. how are they doing? of course, they have had a terrible time, missing their daughter, all through the investigation and now the trial, when you get

to see all the evidence. i can't imagine what they are going through and i feel truly sorry for them. kim wall's friends and relatives have set up a foundation in her memory to help support other female journalists. they hope she won'tjust be remembered for the way she died, but as a brave reporter who can continue to inspire others. well, peter madsen will now remain in prison while his team appeal the verdict. the judge said it was important for peter madsen to remain locked up because of concerns about how his release in the meantime might affect witnesses, describing him as somebody with a very manipulative nature. merseyside police have arrested two men from rome on suspicion of attempted murder, after a man was left with serious head injuries in liverpool last night. a 53 year—old man, named as sean cox from county meath, is said to be in a critical

condition after the alleged attack, which happened during the champions league semi final between liverpool and as roma. the headlines on bbc news: the home secretary amber rudd told a parliamentary committee that she only realised the scale of the issue in the past few months. the french president emmanuel macron has urged the us not to isolate itself from the rest of the world. two men from italy have been arrested after a man was attacked and left critically ill ahead of liverpool's champions league game last night against roma. and what of the other champions league semi final? let's bring you right up to date with it tonight's champions league semifinal. first let between bayern munich and it real madrid. has been a top—quality battle between two high quality

teams. look at this, bayern munich going one up. not a whole lot the keeper could've done about that. bayern munich lead with 32 minutes on the clock. liverpool and england midfielder alex 0xlade—chamberlain says he is devastated to have been ruled out for the rest of the season and will miss the world cup as well. he fell awkwardly during the victory over roma last night. a scan has revealed a ligament injury in the knee. he will definitely miss the summer tournament in russia and there is no timescale for when he might return. 0xlade—chamberlain has posted a message on social media tonight. he says now it is all about supporting the boys and getting behind him. i know we have what it ta kes to behind him. i know we have what it takes to do something special in this tournament. but he goes on to say this all pales in comparison to have a family of the liverpool fan of badly her before last night's match must feel. the 53—year—old is

still in critical condition. roma have condemned to the abort behavior of some fans after he was attacked before the game last night. two men from a rogue were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. arsene wenger has moved to clarify the comment on the timing of this apartheid related to the announcement on friday and rather than the decision itself. he said he was happy with the timing. he had one year on his contract when he announced he would leave the club at the end of the season after 22 years there. speaking before the europa league city final against atletico madrid, he says he is not sure what the future holds. honestly i do not know what i will do. will i take a little rest? i will continue to work, that is for sure. but my pride has always been to give my best to where i am employed, until the last day of my contract. and at the

moment, i am just focused on that. the 2010 at winner neil robertson was the latest big name to be dumped out of the world snooker championship in sheffield. he was beaten by robert milken today. the australian the latest casualty in a term of full of upsets so far. wilkins will faced mark williams in the next round. let's take you to live pictures from the crucible, where the four—time world champion john higgins leads. the winner will face jack lozowski, who beat stewart being am in the final 16. you can watch this match on the bbc sport website and the app right now. rugby union, any whales and lions winger george north willjoin ospreys next season. it was announced that he would return to wales after five seasons at northampton. 0spreys returned he will come back to the region on a dual national contract,

which means the welsh unit will fund a 60% of his planet. and the scottish writer tom hawkins says he does not want to be rendered as the man who killed over there in the commonwealth games. he has revealed the net has never collection after getting up during his first ball in the event. caucus also says he wants changes in the rules to ensure the safety of runners. i think the rule change needs to be similar to boxing. it has got to be done in a way where it is not, the athlete does not get pulled off too early. so maybe after two or three falls or ifiam on so maybe after two or three falls or if i am on the ground for 20 seconds or so if i am on the ground for 20 seconds orso and if i am on the ground for 20 seconds or so and there is no sane and getting up or getting better, there needs to be medical staff. they has not happened often in marathons... maybe it was hunger. i did not want to be known as the guy who killed over. that was callum was sticking tojamie over. that was callum was sticking to jamie lewis from bbc scotland.

bayern munich with a one goal lead, thatis bayern munich with a one goal lead, that is all for now, we still have more later on in sports day. well, thank you for that. in the last hour, a judge has refused a request from the parents of the critically ill toddler alfie evans to allow an appeal against a high court ruling which prevented them taking their son to rome for treatment. all the arguments raised by alfie's parents were rejected by the court of appeal. 0ur correspondent andy moore has been at the hearing. the court of appeal has been here for the last hour hearing legal arguments. we also had a response from the hospital. the three judges adjourned for a short time. they realize how urgent this case was and they came back and said they had rejected all grounds for appeal. as far as the legal process here is concerned, that is the end of the matter. there was an attempt to persuade the court by the barrister for the mother that alfie should go

to italy, that you get better treatment there. similar argument made by the father. but the hospital, the barristerfor the hospital, the barristerfor the hospital said there was no change to the medical situation. the general public might have expected alfie evans public might have expected alfie eva ns to public might have expected alfie evans to die as soon as is the ventilation was withdrawn, but that was certainly not the understanding of the doctors. they have said repeatedly that it might happen immediately, it might take hours, it might take days. so they were not surprised that alfie evidence was still surviving after a0 hours. so they said there was no change to the fundamental position that he was u nfortu nately fundamental position that he was unfortunately in a terminal condition, he was never going to get better. nobody argued that was the case and that it would be futile to continue any further treatment, and thejudges agree with continue any further treatment, and the judges agree with that argument. but the legal team for the mother and the father, they told me they

will still be seeking other legal processes . will still be seeking other legal processes. so from their point of view, they will try to carry on, but it is difficult to see where they go having lost this case today in the court of appeal. in an open letter, the chairman of alder hey hospital sir david henshaw, and chief executive louise shepherd said... the director of a yachting management company has been found not guilty of the deaths of four men whose vessel capsized in the atlantic. the cheeki rafiki overturned 700 miles off the coast of nova scotia nearly four years ago. douglas innes had denied manslaughter by gross negligence. the bbc‘s director of news and current affairs fran unsworth has told the high court that journalists had a responsibility to cover a police search of sir cliff richard's home. ms unsworth said she approved

the broadcast of helicopter footage after carefully weighing up its impact on the singer against the public interest. the singer, who was never arrested or charged, is suing the corporation claiming an invasion of privacy. lucy manning was in court. sir cliff richard had said it felt like seeing burglars go sir cliff richard heard from the final bbc news woman today. the person who he claims caused him pain. fran is with the person who said the bbc shouldn't run the story. she told the court there were strong arguments it should do so. she knew it would cause them distress but she had to wait out the public distress. cliff richard's barrister had to ask the public on about association. it must‘ve occur to you that this having a famous

person with a allegation of that kind is likely to leave notjust a cloud but possibly under indelible stain on their character. she replied it certainly occurred to me that we were doing a fairly momentous thing in relation to a high profile figure. but i also felt that there was strong reason as to why the bbc should do so, strong public interest reasons. for naming a suspect in a police investigation. south yorkshire police have confirmed they are searching a property in yorkshire... she denied the celts other pitchers of police searching the flap were interested but she is at it with the benefit of looking back for years, and she said listening to sir cliff richard and court that it is clear the footage now seemed interested other people. she claim because bbc had accurate information from south yorkshire police about a high profile figure, it was right to report. she said... but the singer's barrister told her

no serious investigative journalist could possibly have regarded your broadcast as complying with bbc guidelines. with the evidence almost finished, the singer has been in court every day. he is claiming substantial damages from bbc, who denied not invading his privacy. lucy manning, bbc news. time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. today has seen plenty of these clouds are recommend big cloud. look ata clouds are recommend big cloud. look at a lightning strikes have increased through the afternoon in

england and wales in particular. been a quite lively kind of damp with sunshine in between downpours. of or not, those showers will be confined to northern areas, tending to die elsewhere but some can be quite heavy if we go on through the night. they should not last too long any one place. a cool night, temperatures dipping down to a6 degrees in the cold spots. thursday and other showery day, but the lion's share will be in the north of the uk where those could be heavy and thundery. to the south, fewer showers but not as widespread. more in the way of sunshine but that will turn increasingly hazy in the afternoon as high cloud spreads in from the southwest. temperatures similarto from the southwest. temperatures similar to those of today, highs up to 16. that is your weather. this is bbc news, our latest headlines: the home secretary amber rudd, says she bitterly regrets only realising the full extent of the windrush scandal,

in recent months. president macron of france, has delivered a sharp rebuke to donald trump, warning of the dangers of nationalism and an american retreat from the international stage. ajudge refuses the parents of alfie evans leave to appeal against the decision not to allow the toddler to travel to italy for treatment. two men from italy have been arrested, after a man was attacked and left critically ill, ahead of liverpool's champions league game last night, against roma. in a moment, the story of a seven—year—old girl who lost her leg after being diagnosed with bone cancer, has had it reattached, backwards, meaning her heel will eventually work as a kneejoint. more now on the news that the home secretary amber rudd says she bitterly regrets only realising the extent of the windrush scandal in recent months. the bbc has learned that the government was warned by commonwealth countries about the impact of the immigration

policy two years ago. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has called on the home secretary to quit. he said amber rudd had inherited a failing policy and made it worse. a report last month by immigration officials stated the hostile environment measures were not even having the desired affect. the current home secretary inherited a failing policy and made it worse! isn't it time she took responsibility and resigned? appearing before the home affairs select committee, the home secretary, amber rudd was asked, did ministers know about criticism of their toughened up immigration policy and ignore it? i became aware i became aware over i became aware over the past few months i would say that there was a problem of individuals that i was sitting. this was covered as far as

ican sitting. this was covered as far as i can see from newspapers and mps bring it forward, over the past four months and i became aware that there was a potential issue and i bitterly in deeply regret that i didn't see it as more than individual cases that had gone wrong that needed addressing. i didn't see it as a systemic issue until very recently. well, one of the apparent victims caught out by the change in government immigration policy is a british army veteran from birmingham, who's been denied a uk passport. tadowse polanski arrived here nearly 70 years ago with his parents, who fled the nazis in their native poland. they'd settled in rhodesia, which became part of the commonwealth, where mr polanski was born. he later came to this country and went on to serve in the grenadier guards. he says he's disgusted by the way his case has been handled by the home office. as giles latcham reports. first of all, this is the army photograph. tadowse polanski served his country as a grenadier guard. but all these years on,

it feels to him as though his country doesn't care. ijoined the army in 1961 to 1968, i paid my taxes over a0 years, my wife is english, she has a british passport, and ifeel disgusted because i haven't got one. he did apply for one back in the 1990s, the authorities told him he wasn't entitled because he was born in the former british colony of rhodesia where his parents fled to from occupied poland. he married patricia, a brummy, 50 years ago this year. they have three children, and four grandchildren. can i tell her about a constituent of mine who was born in a commonwealth country, to polish refugees... his mp richard burden has raised his case in the house of commons and got this response from the government. i find the honourable gentleman's statement very surprising, so i would ask him to write to me about it, the default position of the team i'm setting up will be to get the information and to accept people.

the only situation where they would not be accepted is on serious criminality. it's not good. it could've been better. it could've been sorted out ages ago. this should've been sorted out when i applied for it in 1996. the government couldn't organise a tea party in a brewery. now age 7a and suffering with arthritis, the polish embassy contacted him to offer him citizenship, but no, he is a brummy, and british, and wants a passport to prove it. john rentoul is chief political commentator at the independent. good to see you. first of all, the hole when saga, it's been deeply embarrassing for the government. but the bottom line is the majority of british people do believe in tough immigration measures. absolutely. that was what theresa may was

relying on in her clash withjeremy corbyn at department to questions today. because she was being assailed quite heavily over her mishandling of this issue. —— minister's question. it's been handled very badly in the government is still running to catch up to get on top of this. but she just threw back atjeremy corbyn that people in this country want to see illegal immigration card, but the problem with that is that that is the fundamental problem that she got into over windrush. the windrush generation will have the proof of their legal status. therefore they are bound to get caught up in any crackdown on illegal immigration. the suggestion, not a citizen, amber rudd has admitted that flags were sent out roughly around two years ago. —— warning flags. sent out roughly around two years ago. -- warning flags. amber rudd the home secretary had a terrible time in front of that committee this

afternoon. she said she didn't know if our department had targets for removing illegal immigrants and she was contradicted almost live on—air almost by official and former officials of our department said there are targets. they know how many people are removed from the country every year and they want to increase that number. that is another reason why they got into trouble. difficult to attack the theresa may or at least for the labour party to resign, so they have gone after amber rudd, but because she would argue was not responsible for this policy in the first place, it's difficult for them to nail her to it. exactly. you've got it. iwas in the house of commons wentjeremy corbyn called for her to resign. and i thought he was calling for the prime minister to resign. i thought, thatis prime minister to resign. i thought, that is a bit odd. but there was so

much noise and confusion going on, it transpired that he was talking about the current home secretary but as you said, she wasn't responsible for the decision which cost this problem. theresa may last week tried to pretend it was the last labour government that was responsible. that is not true either. it was theresa may's problem. but she has tried to them as much as she can, sound contrite and then retreat into people want to see illegal immigration that with. there are some on the political right in this country and some in the conservative party talking about the foreign secretary, who perhaps believe that the whole concept of getting net emigration down to tens of thousands is just emigration down to tens of thousands isjust impossible. emigration down to tens of thousands is just impossible. you just cannot do it. is that the original sin here? i think it probably is right. it was a throwaway remark from david cameron many years ago before he even became prime minister that

became called the finding them as a policy. the only person who seemed to ta ke policy. the only person who seemed to take it seriously is theresa may as she resorted to increasingly desperate measures to try and achieve it. and we now suspect that in the amber rudd doesn't really believe in and would like to retreat from it. and borisjohnson is fairly liberal on immigration. but the prime minister herself, it always comes back to her. she really tried to achieve it and got nowhere apart from granting these injustices for the winners generation. in this idea from borisjohnson, the winners generation. in this idea from boris johnson, have the winners generation. in this idea from borisjohnson, have an amnesty who's been here over ten years. —— windrush generation. what is he playing at coming out with that comment? that is something he said before as mayor of london effect. that is part of his liberal approach to immigration. let's wipe the slate clea n, to immigration. let's wipe the slate clean, blessed by gabi guidelines and move on with a clean slate. —— let byg o nes and move on with a clean slate. —— let bygones be bygones. theresa may

does not like that idea, she thinks it will occur is for the emigration in the future. so there was a clash we understand at the cabinet this week which indicates that this government is not united on this at all. john, thank you. many thanks. the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse has called for a change in culture within government and institutions it says there must be "open and frank" discussions about child sexual abuse in order to tackle the problem. the interim report said "all too often" organisations put the reputation of their leaders and staff before the welfare of children. i think those who are in charge of institutions where the leadership models actually need to set the tone for this by their own behaviours and actions and be willing to face up to the feelings that their own organisations have made. for example, we know that's

organisations that have not apologised for what kind of abuse children suffered while they were in their care. and we need all institutions to take the leadership of this issue seriously. canadian police say a man accused of deliberately driving a rented van into pedestrians in toronto, had posted a cryptic message on social media before the attack. he suggested he may have had a grudge against women. alek minassian, who's been charged with ten counts of murder, made a reference to "involuntary celibacy," and praised a man who killed six people in revenge attacks on women who'd spurned him. 0ur correspondent, nada tawfik is in toronto. toronto police have confirmed they are looking at that cryptic facebook message that was left by alek moments before the attack as part of the investigation. and he referred to it and sell rebellion which

refers to an on line group of men who consider themselves involuntarily celibate and who have posted hateful comments about women and minorities blaming them for their sexual frustrations. he also referenced a california man who went ona referenced a california man who went on a rampage and killed six students in 201a who also identified as somebody of the incel community. ontario's premier kathleen wynne with confirm if that was what they are looking at past the keyboard of of this attack but she did say she was disturbed by the misogynistic and hateful language used. a website which has been blamed for launching more than four million cyber attacks around the world, including attempts to crash banks here in the uk, has been taken down in a major global investigation. the website webstresser.org, had been selling cyber attacks forjust over ten pounds and had caused hundreds of thousands of pounds of damage. our home affairs correspondent dominic casciani reports.

an international cyber crime operation. an investigation in the real world. this search in bradford yesterday for computers linked to attacks on british banks. two more arrested in scotland and others across europe as agencies identify the managers and customers of one of the world's biggest cybercrime tools. this is the allegedly criminal website at the heart of the operation. webstresser.org was a cyber gun for hire, selling attacks to anyone who would pay. a sliding scale of prices depending on how much damage you wanted to cause. it offered an easy way for users to carry out a ddos attack. these attacks overwhelm a website with data request, that makes them seized up and crash and is a huge financial impact with businesses spending thousands of pounds repairing the damage. it has taken a year for the national crime agency and its european partners to identify the gang members behind

the website, one of many threats they are watching each day. we have identified, up to four million attacks over a period of time, being used by the website to attack various businesses, cause massive damage in some instances, certainly within the uk. it was used to attack the banking sector. the biggest attack was against seven british banks last september, secret until now. the victims spent hundreds of thousands of pounds repelling the criminals. these attacks are hugely disruptive to banks because of the amount of resource firms have to invest to protect against them. they are solely done with the aim of disrupting activity and trying to find a way into bank systems. banks put in a huge amount of work to ensure that perimeter is safe. if you go to the website today, it is gone. it has been replaced by a warning from law enforcement agencies. there are many more gangs out there offering similar services, offering to target your bank, your local school, businesses. taking down this one site is one

battle in a growing cybercrime war. dominic casciani, bbc news. the system for fire testing building materials is inadequate and under—estimates the ferocity and spread of realflames, according to a study commissioned after the grenfell tower disaster. the association of british insurers says procedures fail to reflect how cladding and insulation burns outside test situations. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds reports. it's called bs 8a1a in the jargon. extended fire test to prove that materials used on buildings are safe. they set light to a stack of wood and measure what happens. the government did this test after g ru nfeld government did this test after grunfeld power. government did this test after gru nfeld power. but government did this test after grunfeld power. but today's report says the test itself is failing. why? because it doesn't take account

what happens in the real world. what happens on buildings like this. the association of british insurers commissioned their own test of the test. the experts switched 20% of the wood used to start a fire with plastic, which often feels 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 we re example in this test, the panels were installed from bottom to top with no gaps between them. they fired get started. but on brill building some big facades do have gaps either by design or poor workmanship. let what happened when that was tested. 0xygen driving the fire upwards. >> we are shocked by the fire in jihadist date the or a testing regime is and how important it is to ta ke regime is and how important it is to take account how these are used in practise. —— how out—of—date they are. 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. but there is another demand from injured wrist, architects, and some manufacturers. that anything that could burn is a band from tall buildings. including the material used at grenfell tower and those used at grenfell tower and those used on towers like this where they are already having to be removed. you are watching bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: the home secretary amber rudd has told a parliamentary committee, she only realised in recent months, the full scale of the windrush scandal. the french president, emmanuel macron, has urged the us not to isolate itself from the rest of the world. two men from italy have been arrested, after a man was attacked and left critically ill, ahead of liverpool's champions league game last night, against roma. an update on the market numbers

for you, here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. a bit of green dirt after yesterday's massive sell—off. —— a bit of green there. the majority of adults in the uk are overweight or obese according to national health surveys, yet research suggests we are a country in denial about our weight. bbc news has created a special online calculator to help you work out if your weight could be an issue and how it compares to the rest of the uk. our health correspondent dominic hughes explains. welcome to alanson street primary school in st helens where lunch is now well under way and st helens is an interesting part because being overweight and obese is a real issue here. one of the heaviest parts of england. so they have made changes to the menu in the school, around lunches and the snacks that they serve, to try and address the issue for younger people.

so to talk about that i'm joined by andrew, tell us what your role is to start with. my role is to change the school menus to make more healthy for people, more fruits and vegetables into their diet. and also to engage with them to understand what foods they like and develop menus around their likes and dislikes. give us some concrete examples, what things have you tried out? we have tried to develop some menus that people are having things they are familiar with at home and bringing in representations of that into the school, making them healthy and we use british sourced meats, no additives, freshly prepared on site, an opportunity to engage with people as well to have them involved with the process. how is it going? what have you learned over the last few years trying this? feedback from people initially was challenging. as we have progressed, it's been really positive. people thoroughly enjoy

the school meals. it's evident that the enjoy them and like having the options of other fruits and vegetables and the salad. everything, we can see the staff cooking away in the back. everything is cooked on the premises. it is a real interesting trying to address this where weight is a real issue. back to you. and you can find the bbc online tool: "where are you on the uk fat scale?" on our website: bbc. co. uk/fatscale the summer of 2001 marked a flash point of division in 0ldham when race riots erupted in the town between white and asian youths. a report later pinpointed the cause on communities living entirely separate or ‘parallel‘ lives. 0ne attempt to bridge the racial divide, was to establish a school. this one sits on the border of the race riot conflict.

as part of our crossing divides season elaine dunkley has been speaking to its students. good morning! good to see you, girls... waterhead academy in 0ldham, a school born out of conflict, a social experiment which saw two of the town's most segregated schools merged eight years ago in an attempt to bridge racial divide. there have been challenges, but also unique friendships, shared experiences and, for many, the only chance to mix with others from different backgrounds. my primary school was mostly an asian primary school, and so we didn't get the opportunity to mix with other people, but secondary school is a mix, and i think that is quite nice. well, ithink, generally, in our school there's not much racism. most of my friends are white, but i do have a substantial amount of asian friends, like one of my best friends is asian, and i hang around with his asian friends sometimes.

the children of waterhead academy weren't born when the 2001 riots highlighted deep divisions between 0ldham's white and asian youths in what was a summer of rage and resentment. in the aftermath, government reports warned of a bleak future for generations of children if they remained in segregated schools. this road was known as a line of control, mainly because on my left—hand side you had the 99% south asian community, and on my right—hand side you had a 99% white heritage community. and now we've got the waterhead academy, which is bringing all the communities together. the school has had more challenges than most — it's been rated as needing improvement — but for those who have believed in it from the beginning, it has come a long way. has it worked? for this school, for sure it's worked. you know, when you come to the christmas play, when you come to a lot of the productions, of you look at the sports teams, they all know we're not looking

at the colour of their skin, what we're looking at is the team shirt that they wear, and that is the one of waterhead academy. play! a new building, sport and the arts have been a vehicle for change, but changing attitudes takes time. what we have created here is a belief that cultural differences are small compared to what young people have got in common. we're trying to create something very special. the children are part of the same team, the children are part of the same school. we still have to have challenging conversations with parents and families sometimes, about their views on different communities and different people, and we see that very much as part of ourjob, to keep challenging any stereotyping that may occur or any prejudice. 17 years after the riots, there have been no easy solutions, but there have been lessons, how to create a shared identity forfuture generations. elaine dunkley, bbc news. prince charles, the duke of cambridge and prince harry have taken part in a number of services

to pay tribute to australia and new zealand's war dead. prince harry and his fiancee meghan markle began the day with a dawn service to mark anzac day, which commemorates the first major battle involving australian and new zealand forces in world war one. nicholas witchell reports. first light at the australia and new zealand war memorials in london on anzac day. a commemoration attended this year by prince harry and meghan markle. in particular, remembrance of the thousands of troops from australia and new zealand who lost their lives in the gallipoli campaign in the first world war, 103 years ago. # abide with me... the losses at gallipoli were severe for two countries, many thousands of miles from europe, which had sent their young men to fight for britain. they helped to forge

australia and new zealand's national identities. hence the importance of this annual commemoration. in london, prince harry laid a wreath in tribute. in france at the australian national memorial near amiens, the prince of wales led the tributes to australian forces who fought with the british in april 1918 to free a french town from the germans. the prince recalled that all the australian troops were volunteers. one in five of them would never return home. today as we mark a century since they gave their lives, let us resolve to continue to fulfil their trust so that every passing year will only add to the measure of their honour. back in london, prince william left his new son to join harry and meghan markle

at westminster abbey for a service of thanksgiving for soldiers from distant countries who came to britain's aid a century ago and who lost their lives in the service of their king. nicholas witchell, bbc news. a seven—year—old girl who lost her leg after being diagnosed with bone cancer, has had it reattached, backwards. amelia eldred had a rare procedure called rotationplasty which involves the leg being amputated high up her thigh, then the lower leg reattached the wrong way. it means her heel will eventually work as a knee joint and she hopes it will allow her to achieve her dream of dancing on stage again. phil mackie has the story. it's hard going that way, because it's more turning that way... amelia eldred is an amazing little girl. with a very special leg. she's having chemotherapy to stop the cancer coming back. and training her brain

to send her leg the right signals. is it strange looking at your foot and it's the wrong way round? yes, it was at the start, but not now. but when i look in the mirror, it looks strange. and then when i look at it face—to—face it looks normal. last summer she was running around like any typical seven—year—old. but then the problems started. the tumour shows up in white on this scan. and eventually what happens is the ankle joint becomes a new kneejoint... it left surgeons no option but to amputate the top of her leg. then in a procedure called rotationplasty, reattach the lower half the wrong way round. if she hadn't had this procedure she would have had an amputation below the hipjoint. and that would have been very difficult for her to wear a prosthesis and it would have been very difficult to have a good level of mobility. but now she has a good knee joint and a good hipjoint, she will be able to hopefully dance and take part in the sport she wants to do.

straightaway it was the best option for us because this way, she will be able to then get a prosthetic leg, be able to do all the things she used to love to do and all your sports and your dancing. otherwise, with a full leg amputation, it's unlikely she would be able to get a prosthetic or have a good range of movements. the chemo will last for a few moments and then amelia will be fitted with her first prosthetic. now she just needs to train her foot to become her knee. right, up, down. right. it's confusing, isn't it? now we are best buddies! phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. the medics were. time for a look to the weather with chris. —— amazing story. april is renowned for showers and today has not been a disappointment. plenty of showers
