and 15,000 panes later, the refurbishment of kew‘s victorian glasshouse is complete, as it reopens to the public. and coming up later in the hour on bbc news: could it be an english double in europe? after liverpool's success, arsenal can reach the europa league final this evening. good evening. public health england says 5,000 women have contacted a helpline set up to deal with a failure in the programme to screen for breast cancer. the error, dating back nine years, has meant that around 450,000 women could be affected, and up to 270 may have had their lives shortened.

health officials have been criticised over why it took so long to uncover the failure, and why they were so slow to react once it was discovered. here's our health editor hugh pym. rowena, who's 70, is one of those who say she never got any letter offering routine screening, which might have detected her breast cancer sooner. she was diagnosed in 2016. i hadn't had any communication at all, to ask me to go fora mammogram. when i went to my gp, he said, "have you had any requests?" and i said no, i hadn't. he said, "you should have done". that might well have saved my surgery, saved the nhs money, who's to say? letters like this have been sent to tens of thousands of women who missed a final routine screening. some will be offered a catch up appointment. hello, you're through to breast cancer care's helpline... breast cancer charities running helplines said

they were extremely busy. 0ne reporting a0 calls in the first 15 minutes this morning, with women wanting to know whether they were affected by what's been called a colossal system failure with breast screening; hundreds of thousands not receiving invitations to have mammograms. in 2016, an it upgrade for the screening programme in england was started. last year, possible problems were emerging. in january this year, public health england became aware of a national problem. in march, minsters were informed. critics say a swifter response was needed. officials say it couldn't be rushed. we've had an expert advisory group running with expert clinicians, who have told us they are very clear that women need to have a helplines in place, to have all of these things there and for us to have the complete picture before we go out to them, so that we don't cause them any more anxiety than the current situation is. the take—up of breast screening amongst 50—70 year—olds in england has fallen over the last decade,

and some argue this should have rung alarm bells and prompted investigation. there could have been many factors that explain why the uptake rate fell. the point is that seeing a fall in uptake rate should have prompted the questions, that should have exposed this error. have you had a mammogram done before? public health england argue there was no decline in the number of invitations being sent out, so it problems weren't to blame for the lower response rate. helen's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 72 and died two years later. helen remembers her saying she hadn't been called for a screening for a long time before the diagnosis. i think the worst bit is itjust brings back all the grief. it brings back all the grief of losing somebody, with a whole load of questions around could it have been different? would her life have been longer? with her quality of

life have been better? because by the time she had the diagnosis, the cancer was well advanced and there was nothing really they could do for her. and hugh pym's here now. terrible stories like that will be leading people to say who is to blame. there will be others like helen who want to know what happened and ifa helen who want to know what happened and if a final screening had taken place, what might have been different and who was to blame for all this. we won't know really until an independent review comes up with its conclusions in october. but right now there is a lot of focus on the role of public health england, responsible for national screening in england. what was beginning to become clear last year, if they found out at national level in january this year, why was nothing announced publicly until yesterday? equally, this screening exercises carried out locally by nhs trusts. whilst that the variation in how they carried out their screening policies, which resulted in errors and letters not being sent out? a

lot of unanswered questions and fingers being pointed in different directions this evening. thank you. if you want to contact the helpline that has been set up for women affected by this, the number is 0800169 2692, or you can find more information on the nhs choices website. president trump has admitted today for the first time that his lawyer paid the porn star stormy daniels not to tell her story during the election campaign of 2016, and that he was reimbursed. his legal aide rudy giuliani said the money was mr trump's personal cash. president trump denies an affair with ms daniels, and also denies the money came from election campaign funds, which would have been illegal. here's our north america editorjon sopel. this is the story of the pornography star, the president and the president's personal lawyer. stormy daniels claimed she had a one night fling with donald trump in 2006 but

was paid $130,000 ten years later, just coincidently weeks before the presidential election, to buy her silence. the money was handed over by this man, michael cohen, the president's mrfix it by this man, michael cohen, the president's mr fix it who said he paid her the cash out of a personal account and was never reimbursed by the president. donald trump has a lwa ys the president. donald trump has always denied the affair and has maintained he knew nothing of the payment. he was asked about it and air force 1a—macro weeks ago. payment. he was asked about it and air force 14-macro weeks ago. did you know about $130,000 payment stormy no no. why was it paid if there was no allegation? michael is my attorney, you will have to last michael. but now that story been flatly contradicted by your former mayor rudy giuliani who joined the trump team weeks ago and said the president had michael cohen the money. he was definitely reimbursed.

so why did he say he wasn't? maybe... first of all, if we had to defend this as not being a campaign contribution, i think we could do that. this is for personal reasons. last light in a separate fox interview he talks about how much the president knew about what was going on. he didn't know about the specifics of it, as far as i know, but he did know about the general arrangement and michael whitaker are things like this. i take are things like this. but today behind it is all very complicated legally. it is ongoing litigation, i can't go any further than what i have given in the past. it is very ha rd to have given in the past. it is very hard to avoid the conclusion that someone hard to avoid the conclusion that someone has been lying. is it the president, is it his personal lawyer michael cohen or is it rudy giuliani, who seems to have tried to put out a fire with a can of kerosene? certainly, all these state m e nts kerosene? certainly, all these statements cannot be reconciled. i

suppose the bigger question is, does anyone care? certainly past disclosures have done donald trump no harm. today the president proclaimed today should be a national day of prayer across america but if he's been willing to stormy daniels saga to go away, those prayers have not been answered. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. two teenagers have gone on trial, accused of plotting to kill pupils and teachers at a school in north yorkshire. the prosecution says the boys wanted to re—enact the columbine high school massacre in the united states, and were planning to use guns and explosives at the school in their hometown of northallerton. dan johnson is outside leeds crown court. tell us more about what happened in court. two things have really stood out today from the opening to the prosecution's case. first, the young ages of these two boys. they were both just 1a when they started

allegedly plotting this attack. what also stood out with the violent nature of exactly what they were planning according to the prosecution. the jury has planning according to the prosecution. thejury has heard planning according to the prosecution. the jury has heard they we re prosecution. the jury has heard they were both fascinated, obsessed by the killers behind the columbine high school massacre in the united states. that was a school shooting backin states. that was a school shooting back in 1999, before these boys were even born, yet they had done hours of research on the internet, reading about the killers and the methods they used on researching the sort of weapons, guns and explosives, that would be needed to carry out a similar sort of attack at their school in north yorkshire. we also heard excerpts from one of the boy's diaries, where he broke everyone is filthy and deserves to be shot, including me. iwill filthy and deserves to be shot, including me. i will play the role of god and decide who i let live and die. the boys say none of this was serious, it was a fantasy that would never actually have been carried out. dan johnson there. thank you. at least 95 people have been killed and many more injured in fierce dust storms that have

swept across northern india. many of the dead were sleeping when their houses collapsed, after being struck by intense bursts of lightning. the storms — in uttar pradesh and rajasthan — also destroyed houses, uprooted trees, and killed livestock. 0ur correspondentjustin rowlatt sent this report. first came the choking dust... huge clouds of it whipped up by winds of up to 80 miles an hour. then came the rain — a torrential downpour. the storm swept across northern india, bringing devastation. electricity pylons were torn down; the arcing cables sparked this ferocious fire. storms are common in india at this time of year, but this one was much bigger and more damaging than had been forecast. as always, it was the poorest who suffered most. many were killed or injured when theirfeeble mud and brick homes collapsed crushing those inside. there were widespread power cuts.

trees and other debris closed roads, making it hard for rescue teams to get to those in need. the indian met office, the country's main weather forecaster, admits that the intensity of the storm took it by surprise and it had a warning today: this turbulent weather isn't over. more storms are on their way. justin rowlatt, bbc news, new delhi. british military police have started digging up a german river bank to search for the remains of a soldier's daughter who went missing 36 years ago. two—year—old katrice lee, from hartlepool, was last seen at a supermarket for british troops near paderborn in 1981. jenny hill is there. yes, for decades this case has confounded detectives and it has haunted this old barracks town. tonight, investigators are still

here on site. they will be here for the next five weeks, as they try finally to establish exactly what happened to katrice lee 36 years ago. 0n the tranquil bank of a german river, a slow, painful search. they are looking for clues, evidence, perhaps even the body of a british child. katrice lee disappeared in 1981, during a supermarket trip with her mother. it was her second birthday. the family lived on the nearby british army base. despite a huge search — soldiers, police, volunteers — she was never found. i believe that in any story there could be a dark side, and the dark side is what they're now reviewing and as a father ofa missing girl, i'm hoping for the next five weeks, but living on thin ice, that they find nothing. over the years, artists' impressions of a girl growing up. detectives believe it is possible katrice is alive, though unaware of who she really is.

this is how they think she'd look today. a meticulous search now, but police admit the original investigation was badly flawed. it was a review of old evidence which led them to this spot. if a child went missing today, then the police's reaction, whether military or civilian, would be clearly different. the royal military police has acknowledged that the original investigation was flawed, and we have sincerely apologised to the lee family for those failings. the team here is under pressure — not only has vital evidence been lost over the decades, but they must now answer to a family who have waited 36 years to find out what happened to their little girl. a search, then, which opens old wounds but aims finally to expose the truth. jenny hill, bbc news, paderborn. have the time is a quarter past six.

our top story this evening: 8,000 women have now called a public helpline after a failure of routine breast cancer screening in england. and i am at kew gardens as the magnificent temperate house gets ready to open its doors after a five—year restoration. and coming up on sportsday in the next 15 minutes on bbc news, we'll have the latest from jerusalem on the eve of the giro d'italia, and that debate about chris froome's right to take part. it's a powerful tranquiliser designed to combat stress and anxiety, but an investigation by the bbc has found that xanax is becoming increasingly popular among young teenagers with some dealing it at their schools, and others getting it from social media.

0ne teacher told us that some teens are using xanax to cope with stress ahead of exam season. chi chi izundu has this report. this is the drug that can cost less than £1 per pill. it's 20 times stronger than its nhs equivalent diazepam, and in the last year it's become the latest trend amongst teenagers. in medical terms, xanax is a benzodiazepine — a powerful tranquilliser used to treat stress, anxiety and panic attacks. it's "zan", "xaney" or "bar" to its users and we're being told it's been dealt and taken in schools. we're certainly beginning to see it from year nine upwards, so from 13 or so. we're getting calls on a weekly, sometimes daily basis from schools, from educational settings, telling us about young people who are both consuming, using, dealing and buying xanax on school premises. in fact, just before we started this interview with neil,

he was contacted by a school who had two girls who'd been caught dealing xanax. neil also introduced us to this 17—year—old, who wanted to remain anonymous. he started using xanax at 1a. theyjust reduce the anxiety of everyday sort of stuff. i've always tried to just self medicate. people just need to be careful, because you can take one bar and be feeling absolutely fine, and then you can take another one and then two days later wake up in a police cell or a hospital with absolutely no memory of what happened. i'm speaking from personal experience — it is scary. xanax is a brand name. the drug in it is called alprazolam and last year border force seized more than 50 kilograms of it, estimated to be able to make more than 25 million pills. for the young people that i've seen that have obviously taken a xanax overdose, young people who've taken it during the course of their school day and then it's been noted that

they've been a little bit off key during their lessons, and so have presented with slurred speech, with being unable to walk, looking a little bit like they're drunk. the dozens of schools we were approached were reluctant we approached were reluctant to talk about this on camera, but one school, redland green in bristol, did put their head above the parapet because they want mums, dads, students and the local community to help combat the problem. we also hear of students using it for different reasons. sometimes it's because they're experimenting with drugs, sometimes young people are using it as they see it as a form of stress relief, they know that the background of xanax is of an antidepressant, so they think they can use it when they've got exam stress or going through difficult times in their lives. although being labelled a prescription drug, in the uk xanax is not available on the nhs. you can get it on a private prescription, though, but the haul students are using are largely obtained

firstly through the dark web. we've also been told that the drugs are being bought and sold on social media sites like snapchat, instagram, facebook and whatsapp. all those social media platforms told us that the buying and selling of drugs is allowed on their sites. of drugs isn't allowed on their sites. so exactly how many under 18s have been medically treated for a xa nax overdose? getting concrete figures has been difficult, because of how it's recorded by medical experts. north—east ambulance service, though, says the number of teenagers it's treated has tripled over the last five years, and that includes 11—year—olds. the concerning part of this is that every expert, doctor, psychiatrist and teacher we spoke to says they are worried that teenagers are now self diagnosing and self—medicating, and xanax isn't the only drug they're doing it with. chi chi izundu, bbc news. polling stations are open today across england for voting in local elections. votes are taking place in around 150 councils, including all the london boroughs. it's the biggest test of public opinion since the general

election 11 months ago. you have until 10pm to vote. and you can watch full coverage of the local election results on bbc one and the bbc news channel from 11:45 tonight. a woman who lived in britain for 50 years but was denied re—entry after a visit to jamaica has now finally arrived back in london. gretel gocan, who's 81, was one of the windrush generation invited here from the caribbean to help boost the economy. the passport which showed her right to remain was stolen in a burglary and the replacement didn't have the right information, leaving her trapped in jamaica until today. our community affairs correspondent, adina campbell went to meet her. her report contains flash photography. the day they never thought would come. departing from jamaica's montego bay airport, gretel gocan

was heading back to the uk. this is the moment her family was heading back to the uk. this is the moment herfamily have been waiting for, with an emotional reunion at gatwick airport. but this should never have happened. despite living in london for more than 50 yea rs, living in london for more than 50 years, she's been struck injamaica since 2010 when she flew over for her sister's funeral. but her intended short—stay turned out to be an eight—year exclusion from the uk, even though she arrived here back in 1960. part of the windrush generation. the way i feel right now. . . generation. the way i feel right now... you feel happy? yes. nice to be surrounded by your family? yes. backin be surrounded by your family? yes. back in south london, reality is starting to kick in. how does it feel to be here back in the uk? happy. what have you been doing in

jamaica? and it all got too much for horse on, lee. it can get to you after a while. when i came back from jimmy grit was heartbreaking. being away for so long now means gretel gocan doesn't have a home of her own here in london and she also lost access to her uk pension. here in london and she also lost access to her uk pensionlj here in london and she also lost access to her uk pension. i work part—time. financially draining. access to her uk pension. i work part-time. financially draining. do you feel you've been given the right support and access to help your mother come back over here? no. you feel let down? disappointed. yes. the impossible has become possible

andl the impossible has become possible and i hope it gives hope to all of the other one is stuck injamaica who are stranded, that there is going to be a result now. the tour de yorkshire has got under way, with both the women and men setting off on stage one from beverley in the east riding. the full length of the men's race stretches across more than 440 miles, and riders can look forward to nearly 8,000 metres of climbing in total. today's leg saw them pass through 43 towns and villages ahead of the finish line in doncaster, with yorkshire residents lining the streets to cheer them on. it's the largest victorian glasshouse in the world, making the temperate house in kew gardens a very special place for horticulturalists. the doors have been closed for the past five years for restoration but reopen this weekend, and our science correspondent victoria gill is there. it is looking pretty resplendent as the sun

beams through the glass, glass that has all been replaced as this building was stripped back, examined, fixed and reassembled. this has taken £41 million, a team of 400 people, and this is now home to 1500 species of lance. i have been finding outjust how to 1500 species of lance. i have been finding out just how the to 1500 species of lance. i have been finding outjust how the team at the royal botanical gardens at kew have achieved this feat. five years, 15,000 panes of glass, and more than 5,000 litres of paint. the restoration of the world's largest victorian glasshouse has been a labour of love. but when i had a sneak preview, just two and a half weeks ago, this was still very much a building site. thanks to the inclement weather, this project has been set back weeks. it's now a real race against time, but in just over a fortnight the temperate house will open to the public and it's already home to half of the 10,000 plants that

will be housed here. the garden inside this vast greenhouse is a snapshot of the life that grows in temperate climates all around the world, and for many of these plants this is their only refuge. we've got a real importantjob to keep these things going. some plants that are maybe down to a few individuals in the wild, a wild fire, an earthquake and they're gone. among the greenery are species that harbour natural medicines, now used to treat potentially lethal diseases including malaria. and in his first visit here, sir david attenborough highlighted the importance of kew‘s scientific work. it's here that people can study these consequences of not only diseases but invasive plants, plants that can come in and be more vigorous than some of our native plants and drive them to extinction. for the first time since it was opened in 1863, the house was stripped back to bare metal. every part of its structure has been examined in detail.

the temperate house is the largest surviving victorian glasshouse in the world, so for kew this was a hugely important project both to bring these plants back to their home but also to restore this building back to its beauty. open to the public once again, this great building is fulfilling its original victorian purpose, providing a home for some of the world's most precious plants. victoria gill, bbc news, kew gardens. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. and you don't need to be planted in a greenhouse to feel some warmth over the next few days, with temperatures rising nicely in time for the bank holiday weekend. we have had fine sunshine today across parts of england and should be a decent sunset across southern counties with this cloud streaming in from the west. it's not been a dry day everywhere, we have seen

showers in the afternoon in north—west england, north west midlands, north west wales and scotla nd midlands, north west wales and scotland too. then this guys looked something like this for example in cumbria. 0vernight the cloud will continue to push across the united kingdom. there will be showers for western scotland through the night and temperatures not as low as recent nights, 7—9d for most people. weather front is close to scotland will threaten outbreaks of rain could also be quite breezy here. a lot of cloud around to start the day and it could be thick enough for drizzle through the bristol channel. although it is a cloudy kind of day for most of us, i suspect the cloud will be in and break at times to bring some spells of sunshine. temperatures not doing badly with highs of 18 in aberdeen, 19 in london and south—east england. looking at the weather picture through bank holiday weekend, high pressure will be with us bringing a lengthy spell of dry weather. it

will turn warmer and for most places it will be dry as well. high pressure near the continent and increasingly through the weekend we should start to drag in some of this warmerair should start to drag in some of this warmer air which will boost temperatures across the uk. the warmest air will always be across south—east england but we could see temperatures reach 25 degrees. however quite widely we are looking at temperatures in the upper teens to low 20s. thank you, chris. that's all from the bbc news at six so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. this is bbc news — our latest headlines: and 8,000 calls are made to a helpline since it was revealed that a computer error led to thousands of women in england missing out on invitations to routine breast cancer screening. since we opened this morning at breast cancer care we had 40 calls in the first 15 minutes and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. people are calling

about are they affected, because people aren't quite clear whether they are affected or not. president trump has confirmed that he paid back the money his lawyer, michael cohen, gave the porn star, stormy daniels, to keep quiet about an alleged affair. two teenagers have gone on trial accused of using a hideout in a plot to kill pupils and teachers at a school in northallerton in north yorkshire. more than 100 people have been killed and scores injured in powerful dust storms which have battered northern india. if in a moment it will be time for sportsday, but first a look
