we've got some fine and dry weather for many of us through the bank holiday weekend. it will not be wall—to—wall sunshine but plenty of sunny spells and things will be warming up quite nicely. good morning. first, our main story. donald trump has said the uk's strict gun laws has led to a rise in knife crime, adding that a hospital in london was like "a war zone" because of the number of stabbing victims. it comes as the president tried to defend americans‘ right to own guns, which he said were "under siege" in a speech to the powerful national rifle association. gary o'donoghue reports. there is donald trump. travelling to the convention has been an annual pilgrimage for donald trump. today he remained staunch in his defence of them and their right constitutionally to own a gun. your second amendment rights are under
7:02 am
siege, but they will never ever be under siege as long as i am your president. after the shooting of 17 should students in florida on valentine's day, the mood has changed. young people around the country keeping gun control at the forefront of debate. my daughter has no voice. she was murdered last week. shortly after that shooting, the president seemed to stand up to the president seemed to stand up to the organisation, though little action followed. there was no such tough talk for the group today. the president also suggesting that having tight gun laws like those in london and stop people being killed in other ways. i recently read a story that in london, which has unbelievably tough gun laws, a once very prestigious hospital right in the middle is like a war zone
7:03 am
hospitalfor the middle is like a war zone hospital for horrible stabbing wins. yes, that's right. they don't have guns. they have knives. this was an uncommon rising speech by the president and in a year when the congressional elections, there are unlikely to be any more, mice by republicans. one of the original suspects in the murder of stephen lawrence has been arrrested in spain. jamie acourt, who has always denied his involvement in the death of the teenager was one of the uk's most wanted fugitives. he's expected to be questioned about his alleged role in the large scale supply of drugs. andy moore reports: pictured shortly after his arrest, not looking too happy, jimmy a court was on the list of britain's most wa nted was on the list of britain's most wanted suspects living in spain. he was captured by armed officers from the spanish national police as he was leaving a gym in barcelona. his

have been evacuated and a state of emergency has been declared. bill hayton reports. a roadblock, hawaii style. this neighbourhood is 2a miles from the crater of mount kilauea but the ground cracked open on thursday and molten lava poured out.” ground cracked open on thursday and molten lava poured out. i smelt it andi molten lava poured out. i smelt it and i ran to the corner and that is when i ran into a military officer who told me that it is smoking. sure as heck, i take the turn and it was on fire. dozens of small earthquakes left cracks in the roads. some residents described a feeling as if a giant snake was moving under the houses. you could feel the heat coming from the ground. there is heat coming out of this. there is love in there. but was not the only danger. the air was filled with
7:06 am
potentially toxic fumes. as a result, the state governor ordered an evacuation. there was little time to gather possessions. some escaped with what they could. residents are 110w with what they could. residents are now waiting to see when they will be allowed home. mount kilauea is spewing smoke from one of its side bends but at the moment scientists don't believe there is a major risk ofan don't believe there is a major risk of an explosive eruption. laver has been flowing from the volcano crater and cracks on its slopes ever since it became active in 1983. but with earthquakes getting stronger, no one is relaxing just yet. we will cross to a local resident in a few moments time to get the latest. more than 10,000 calls have been made to a helpline after it was revealed 450—thousand women hadn't been invited to screenings. the hotline was set up on wednesday after an it error meant women aged between 68 and 71 were not invited to a routine breast screening. an independent review is being launched.

7:08 am
they may have been misdiagnosed. 200 additional clinics have been set up in northern ireland to review patients who were treated by a co nsulta nt patients who were treated by a consultant urologist, dr michael watt. it follows a year long independent investigation by the royal college of physicians. gillian was diagnosed with nerve damage and other conditions 12 years ago. she is one of the patients who has received a letter offering her a new appointment with a different consultant. i don't know what to expect, i don't know what they will tell me. it is very worrying. you put your life into somebody‘s hands, basically. the trust says it doesn't patients have been contacted already with more being sent letters every day. with patients records spread across the health service and private practice, this is a complex and time—consuming process. all of which, the trust admits is extremely stressful for patients and their families. north korea is changing its time

zone to match the south after last week's peace summit. the communist regime said the country would move its clocks forward by 30 minutes from today. president trump announced yesterday that he has set a date for his meeting with the noth‘s leader kim jong un. the meeting is expected to take place in late may orjune. nasa's latest mission to mars blasts off today with the aim of mapping the red planet's interior for the first time. the rocket carries a robotic probe which will be dropped onto the surface to test for tremors known as ‘marsquakes‘. scientists hope the seven—month voyage will reveal more about how mars is arranged from surface to core. a state of emergency is in force on hawaii's big island after one of the world's most active volcanos, mount kilauea, erupted. fountains of lava have burst up from under roads and several strong earthquakes have shaken the area overnight —
7:10 am
around 1,700 people have had to leave their homes. kris burmeister is one of them, hejoins us now. good morning to you. thank you for taking time to chat to us. i wonder if you could take us through what your experience has been. what has happened? well, we have been experiencing earthquakes all day today. the last few days, we have had earthquakes that led up to the lava flow. i was sitting in my home and all ofa lava flow. i was sitting in my home and all of a sudden, i smelt software. it was very strong. i knew it was close. i said, we need to get out. chris, we have some problems
7:11 am
with the line to you at the moment so we are going to take a pass for a moment, check the line and we will come back to you but apologies at mother that. we would rather hear what chris has to say hirst and. when you see those pictures and you hear the personal story, chris was with his family and then they heard the tremors and the lava flows are really close to their homes, so we will get his first—hand story. the gas is very intense is a big problem as well. it was a stunning morning this morning and the sun was out already. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. we're expecting a fine bank holiday weekend. a little bit of cloud and rainfor weekend. a little bit of cloud and rain for some of us but this is how we started the morning. a beautiful start to the day. through the next
7:12 am
couple of days, we keep with the high—pressure, bringing as largely dry, settled conditions. there will be spelt of sunshine and things will be spelt of sunshine and things will be warming up quite nicely. but not everywhere, we have a front approaching the northwest so you can see that here. higher pressure holding on further south. we will see some low cloud, mist and fog around some irish seacoast for a time so for parts of west wales, south—west scotland, parts of northern ireland, we will see more low cloud so a grey day here. but it will then and break. lots of sunshine from any central and eastern parts of england. temperatures here between 22 and 23 degrees. further northwest, just a few degrees cooler but for most of us, it is try away from the far north of scotland when a front will bring a few spots of rain at times. tonight, a fine enter the day. things remaining dry. again, some mist and fog patches forming overnight and it will feel quite
7:13 am
chilly bursting sunday morning and those clear skies to temperatures back into single figures from any of us. sandy is another fine day for the bulk of the country. but sunny, dry weather with light winds. some outbreaks of rain in the western isles. but the rest of the country, looking dry. still some mist and fog drifting around the irish sea so that will lap onshore to parts of wales at times. but away from this area, wales at times. but away from this area , you wales at times. but away from this area, you could see 23 degrees. those temperatures continue to rise through the weekend and on into the bank holiday monday. we are drawing inaof bank holiday monday. we are drawing in a of airfrom the bank holiday monday. we are drawing in a of air from the south east and it is going to be the southern half of the country that sees that really warm airon bank of the country that sees that really warm air on bank demanded with lots of sunshine. further north, a little bit cooler because we will start to draw ina bit cooler because we will start to draw in a breeze off the north sea soa draw in a breeze off the north sea so a cooler day for eastern scotland and the north east of england. an improved day around the irish sea coast improved day around the irish seacoast is so late in the way of that low cloud. in the sunshine, we
7:14 am
are likely to see those temperatures by the widely in the know to mid—20s. some of us even in the high 20s so it is looking like by bank holiday monday we could see 27 celsius and it will certainly be a record, the warmest ever early may day bank holiday. up to one in five children in the uk have been exposed to domestic abuse at home, according to figures from the nspcc. making sure that those children receive adequate support is the focus of a project called 0peration encompass — which allows uk police forces to alert teachers when violence has occurred. headteachers now want the project to be compulsory. he would storm shouting and slam the door and i would flinch, and i would check on the children. for years, this mother and children suffered domestic abuse. like many, she kept secret. before the school knew, a
7:15 am
couple of times i had sent them into the school upset and had to tell the teacher, it has been a rushed morning and been difficult at home, and that is all i said. but that has changed thanks to 0peration and compass, a phone call that alerts teachers boot—mac police an incident of domestic violence. how important was at first call from the teacher? it felt like changing to me when i made the decision to be open and poured out my heart. i often said to the children if we had a difficult weekend or were feeling sad, i would often say, you can talk to your teachers, that is a safe place, they don't have to tell mummy or daddy, that was reassuring to me. operation in compass was set up by this headteacher and her husband david, a former police sergeant. she was frustrated that often teachers were not notified of incidents of
7:16 am
domestic abuse until months later.|j know before that child even steps through from the pavement into the school gates, it means we are prepared. there is no point sitting them on the carpet and saying, we're going to learn about adverts today, when they are anxious about what's happening at home, anxious about going home. the first thing we need to do asa going home. the first thing we need to do as a school is make sure that child is in the right physical and emotional state to access their learning during the school day. emotional state to access their learning during the school daym is estimated that one in five children have been exposed to domestic abuse in the uk, and 130,000 children live in households where there is violence and high risk domestic abuse. the 33 police forces that are part of operation encompass make on average 1500 calls a day. something as simple as a phone call has changed the lives of many children, but 0peration encompass has also shown that there is scope to do much more. the next step would be to look at how we can
7:17 am
expand to cover other types of environments. it could be early learning settings such as nursery or child care environments, to make sure we are not excluding those groups of children from the protection that this scheme offers. headteachers are calling for 0peration encompass to be compulsory for all schools and police forces in england and wales. a conversation which means children don't have to suffer in silence. us anti—gun campaigners are criticising president trump for addressing the powerful national rifle association at their annual conference yesterday. the president said he supports the second amendment — the us law which allows people the right to carry guns — just weeks after he promised to "stand up" to the association following the parkland school shooting in florida. there is no stronger deterrent for a sick individual than the knowledge that their attack will end their
7:18 am
life and will end in total failure. when they know that, they are not going in. you are not going to have school attacks. we support the second amendment, not only because we believe in freedom, but also because we trust in everyday talented wonderful people. andy parker has been calling for tighter gun controls after his daughter, news reporter alison parker, was shot and killed during a live tv broadcast in 2015. he joins us now from south carolina. cani can i ask firstly, how you and the family are doing? you know, we're doing as best we can under the circumstances. every day has... it is never going to leave us, but we fight on. was the art over gun control something you had previous to this terrible incident, something
7:19 am
you engaged with felt very strongly about? it is trying to get across the notion that to the die—hard nra people that we're not trying take away their guns. that is the narrative, that is always their fallback is isha nt, narrative, that is always their fallback is ishant, that any common—sense legislation you propose is an attack on the second amendment, and that is not true. are you surprised to see president trump speaking so strongly in support of the nra particularly after the parkland shooting in florida which seems to shift the public mood in a little? i'm not surprised at all. you have seen anything that comes out of his mouth. he lies on a regular basis. every other sentence that he utters is a lie, just generally, so now, initially he met
7:20 am
with survivors of parkland, and met with survivors of parkland, and met with members of congress and originally walked back from any state m e nts originally walked back from any statements that shocked his base. i am not surprised at all. tell us a little about the even moderate gun controls you would like to introduce, could any of these have made a difference in the case of your daughter? one of the things that the past in florida, the law that the past in florida, the law that should be nationwide, the call of the red flag law. it is when someone like the shooter in florida, like the shooter of my daughter, who had multiple red flags, the law—enforcement should have had the authority to come in and remove their guns. and sadly that was not their guns. and sadly that was not the case in florida, it is now, we
7:21 am
tried to get that passed in virginia this year in the general assembly, and failed. these guys are more concerned about selling guns than they are about saving lives.|j talked about a slight shift in public mood, but that is maybe the way we see it from here in the uk. views on gun control are so entrenched in the us. what can be done to change minds in these lobbies? i think i have done to change minds in these lobbies? i thinki have been colin for some time now, i came to the conclusion that in order to get things done you have to remove the people that stand in the way, and i think that is going to happen in the mid—term elections, and i think these kids in florida have energised these kids in florida have energised the populace that can no longer stand on the sidelines and say," well, this happened and we will go on with our lives." it is real and it could happen to them, and i think people in this country realise it. the vast majority do, and i think you're going to see that. you saw it
7:22 am
in bridge in your last fall —— you saw it in virginia last fall when guns were on the ballot, and democrats picked up 15 seeds, almost unheard—of, and i think that is what is going to take place in the mid—terms this fall. is going to take place in the mid-terms this fall. like you for yourtime, and we mid-terms this fall. like you for your time, and we wish you all the best. thank you. and those comments by president trump making particular waves here because he referred to knife crime and referred to knives turning parts of the uk into war zones. mission to mars, it sounds like something from a movie, but it is a real thing. tell us about this mission. this is a mission looking
7:23 am
for earthquake ‘s, or in this case marsquakes. you have is vibration, and as the waves propagate through the planet it can help us understand what is in the planet. it is the earthquakes we understand what is inside the earth, and it is through marsquakes that we do understand what is inside mars. the journey is a lwa ys what is inside mars. the journey is always fascinating. i am still a lwa ys always fascinating. i am still always compelled by a rocket taking off. and when it is going to mars has a certain cachet to it. the journey itself, talk us through it. launched today will take about six months to get close to mars, and will be a couple months until it slows down bust up in space there is no friction coming afterburner
7:24 am
rocket to slow down just speed up. it will go into orbit, and then the landing craft will descend, it will slow down in the atmosphere, deploying a parachute and hopefully land safely. and over the course of the month it will deploy the instruments. and what kind of information are you wanting? the fundamental question is, how the planets formed ? we fundamental question is, how the planets formed? we know the basics, you have a cloud of rocks and dust that come together, was a process of accretion, that heats up, and then we had differentiation where we get different layers. we don't understand a lot more than those basics. we have studied the earth. mars is a better place to study planets in general, the reason is because eric is very active. we have tectonic plates and volcanoes, as we have seen today, so we have all this activity. mars is much more stable. the conditions inside mars are much closer to how they wear when the
7:25 am
planet was formed. so we can understand more not just planet was formed. so we can understand more notjust about mars but planets in general, where they come from. exciting stuff! you talk to one of our main stories this morning, what is happening in hawaii. are there lessons to be learned from mars about, i don't know, predicting earthquakes, or how the earthworks? maybe. there is some might we don't know. the earth has had a very long revolution. maher is in many ways is more primitive, it is much smaller, less active. the shifting tectonic plates doesn't happen on mars as far as we know. so we get a real insight into those initial conditions. and by understanding initial conditions you then understand longer term consequences. we expect pictures straightaway, but it is while off. yes, the landing will be november this year. and then the mission will last about a year. it will last
7:26 am
about one mars year. these are simulated images we're seeing. yes, this is an example of what we will see. the lander will come down and deploy instruments, the whole thing unfold, it is packed up initially, it unfolds. it tries to build —— bury the seismometer deep underground to stop. in the past the robot arm with the seismometer got stuck, it got jammed. robot arm with the seismometer got stuck, it gotjammed. it didn't go all the way down. so the vibrations at the club were from the wind and the actual lander itself. so there was a lot of noise in the data. the idea here is that the instrument is plunged deep in the soil. how frustrating that must have been! you get it all the way there, and the arm doesn't work. is there ever a concern about corrupting the planet when you are using instruments like
7:27 am
this that are so invasive? this is just passive, it is just the thing thatis just passive, it is just the thing that is stuck in the ground. this is something people are mindful of. when we explore moons and things like that weather might be signs of life, we talk about the moons of jupiter and saturn, its possible i might be some kind of mcrobbie life. we are very careful, the satellites or in orbit, they do it control and in the atmosphere. we don't want a contaminated and create false readings for the future. chris, thanks. we know it is a beautiful bank holiday weekend, that is london at the moment, dutiful. there is some haze, but that will burn off. lots of people able to enjoy the weekend whether, that is salford. we will
7:28 am
have the weather in a moment, the headlines are coming up next. here is a summary of today's main stories. donald trump has said the uk ‘s strict gun laws have led to a rise in knife crime, adding that a hospital in london was like a war zone because of the number of stabbing victims. it comes as the president defended america's rights to own guns, which he said were under siege in a speech to the national rifle association. under siege in a speech to the national rifle associationlj recently national rifle association.” recently read a story that in london that a prestigious hospital bed in the middle is like a war zone for horrible stab ones. yes, that's right. they don't have guns. they have knives.
7:29 am
a former suspect in the murder of stephen lawrence has been arrested in spain. he has always denied his involvement in the death of the teenager and he was one of the world wa nted teenager and he was one of the world wanted fugitives. he is expected to be questioned is about his alleged role in the large—scale supply of drugs and is due to appear at court foran drugs and is due to appear at court for an extra edition hearing early next week. if state of emergency is in hawaii's big island after one of the world's most active volcanoes, mount kilauea, erupted. lava burst out from under roads and several strong quakes have shaken the area overnight. we will speak to chris, who is one of the residents near mount kilauea. we had problems with him earlier on with the link. we will speak to him now. apologies for our problems earlier. explain to us for you and your family, our problems earlier. explain to us for you and yourfamily, the our problems earlier. explain to us for you and your family, the last couple of days. what has been happening. we had to evacuate yesterday evening around five p:m..
7:30 am
that is when we first started smelling salts are. it was like a jet engine rattling basically. we went down to check it out and the road was closed off and things were happening. so, we went home and started packing. we had already had the basics packed but we decided to move out. the move as much of our personal items as we could. today we have had a lot of earthquakes, we had the two biggest earthquakes in the past a0 years in hawaii. so, we have also had probably about three orfor more issues break out in have also had probably about three or for more issues break out in the neighbourhood. a lot of things have been happening. hopefully you're still with us. we're also told there are concerns about gas as well,
7:31 am
problem is that there may have been some dangerous gases emitted. do you know anything about that? yes. we we re know anything about that? yes. we were under a mandatory evacuation. they were extremely high levels of toxic gases. chris, thank you very much for that. we will cut that short. we're having some problems with our contact to hawaii for obvious reasons. we will talk about it out this and they are extraordinary images. a brave person to be in that helicopter. they get all the sport now. a london derby, it is all set. so ha rd to call a london derby, it is all set. so hard to call between london and chelsea. arsenal, surprisingly,
7:32 am
birmingham in the run—up but both have had big runs to this final. the stage is set. arsenal have won the fa women's cup more than any other tea m fa women's cup more than any other team but chelsea will start as favourites in this final in front of this record crowd of over a0,000. it isa this record crowd of over a0,000. it is a repeat of the 2016 final when arsenal one. chelsea are in their fourth final. whilst arsenal are bidding for that record 15th crown. we have great players and i am expecting them, on the back of the run of play, i'm expecting big things from them. but we are just focusing on ourselves, if we get our game right, hopefully we can do the job again. playing in the big arena, it takes some time to get used to it. once you've done it a few times, is not a
7:33 am
big deal any more. it is quite 0k. but as the whole thing, getting control over your emotions to be able to do what you do on the training pitch. no matter where you are or how many people are watching, thatis are or how many people are watching, that is what it is all about. brighton has secured their premier league status for next season after beating manchester united 1—0 last night. it is their first season in the top league and the seagulls needed a new goal—line technology here to confirm that this was a goal. by the finest of margins. 2.8 centimetres to be precise. only their second win over manchester united in their history. it will certainly be great for us to go into these last two games away to manchester city and liverpool, knowing that we have retained the status and it is great for this football club. they have come a long way and they have had some tough periods and the chairman has
7:34 am
invested very heavily in this club and delighted for them. brighton are safe but it is a huge weekend for those other side battling relegation in the premier league. stoke city host chris palace and delays early kick—off. still only have got too much is left as they continue their desperate need for survival. the manager describes the day ‘s game as must win. he really tough game. roy has done really well down there and it is a tough match as we know. they are playing pretty well themselves. realistically they are safe anyway so whether that is a good thing or bad thing remains to be seen on but no matter what, we have to be ready. steven gerrard says he is honoured to become the new manager of rangers. it is a form of year deal and he insists he is not concerned about his lack of experience. it is his first big managerialjob. he retired from playing 18 months ago.
7:35 am
he had been part of the clubs under 18 coaching sec tour receded. iam 18 coaching sec tour receded. i am confident that we can do well. in terms of targets and that type of thing, ijust in terms of targets and that type of thing, i just want to win football matches. that is my thing, that is my balance and that is what i want to hear. i am ready for that. him and his assistant or unlike you to be managing their team against watts county because they became from behind. it leaves ross county two points either rivals with just two points either rivals with just two games remaining. chris froome's bid to hold all three of cycling's grant is a title has got off to a bumpy start. he crashed during a reiki of the opening time trial injerusalem. during a reiki of the opening time trial in jerusalem. he during a reiki of the opening time trial injerusalem. he was able to raise but after the six mile stage he was in 21st, 37 seconds behind the winner. there are two more stages in israel before the race
7:36 am
heads to sicily. a crash is always going to hurt, for sure. it is not ideal to raisejust after having crashed but that is by gracing and all part of the sport. any problems long—term? none at all, it was superficial. back home, the first summit finish in the history of the tour of yorkshire has been won by a sprinter. he held off the olympic no worries champion. his victory on the second stage of its him in the overall lead. the american megan made it up ready to remember after her win. britain's danny finished second overall. john higgins remains in control of his world snooker championship semifinal. the former time champion leads 13—11 with just one session left to play. it is the first to 17
7:37 am
but will reach the final and any semifinal, barry hawkins leads 9—7. warrington but the super league champions leeds 33—22 in the rugby and eight. the world scored for me rise towards the end for their ninth win any row. there were also wins for wigan and huddersfield. a huge load of boxing ahead. a real heavyweight grudge match. it is a replay of their bout last year. the bomber pulled off that shock win in liverpool last time. another defeat for david hay in london tonight could well spell the end of his career. let's get more honest and up toa career. let's get more honest and up to a boxing correspondent. what makes this one such a big one? there is no title or belt at stake. not needed. this is purely a grudge match. it is called the rematch and
7:38 am
that sounds like a cliche but so be it. sometimes cliches absolutely fit the bill. it is redemption or is it a repeat for the bomber? david hay has nowhere to go if he loses and i've got to tell you, tony will find himself in a cul—de—sac if he loses. that is what makes it such a grisly spectacle. it is a must watch boxing. yet both fighters are lighter so could we see quite a skilfulfight, but lighter so could we see quite a skilful fight, but of movement rather than just heavyweight slogging? the last fought 1a rather than just heavyweight slogging? the last fought 14 months ago and! slogging? the last fought 14 months ago and i have to tell you, david kay was injured and pulled out of the fight in december. after what they delivered to us last year, a brutal 11 rounds, they needed six months to let their bodies recover. ice baths, sitting in the sun doing nothing, playing with their kids, that type of stuff. they were so exhausted and they have come in like because i think they both want to preserve themselves, a bit more movement, not let themselves in the
7:39 am
zone. the last time, there were lots of pantomime in the lead up but once that first bell sounded, 20,000 people stood up and applaud two men that hit each other for too often and delivered a savage and memorable slu gfest. and delivered a savage and memorable slugfest. this time will be different, they will both try to use their brains for a few rounds at least. a lot of people don't necessarily follow boxing that much and have got interested once again through anthony joshua and have got interested once again through anthonyjoshua and it feels like there is a real style and a class around him in the way he has been going about his business. how do you compare a boat like this with all the stuff that has been going on around him and boxing keko it's very difficult because these two guys really dislike each other. anthony joshua doesn't dislike anybody until the first bell sounds. then if you're in the opposite corner, you're in the opposite corner, you're a lot of trouble because he really hates you. these two guys dislike each other. i have
7:40 am
struggled, they have pushed each other, they stuck each other‘s head on each other and these are just on the press conferences. it has been nasty. since october 2016 when they first started meeting to the frostbite and the build—up for the second fight. these two are old—fashioned, second fight. these two are old —fashioned, bombastic protagonists. they dislike each other. anthonyjoshua protagonists. they dislike each other. anthony joshua does protagonists. they dislike each other. anthonyjoshua does this brilliant thing where he is kissing babies heads, helping old ladies across the road with their shopping! that is what he does. these two are the other side of boxing. perhaps we should follow the dark side! joshua himself is with the good guys but once the bell sounds, trust me, there is nothing about anthony joshua. what does that mean for either of these two if they lose, where does it take their career? either of these two if they lose, where does it take their career7m they lose, they are both in trouble, but in some kind of boxing cul—de—sac where they have to go cap in hand to a promoter to get a fight. if one was to win
7:41 am
spectacular, in some bizarre way, he can parachute himself into the boxing promised land where fires generate 20 million. it could change your life and your children's lives. that is what is at stake. none of those rubbish billboards with the fa ke those rubbish billboards with the fake diamonds on. the winner of this fight, if he wins in good style, he gets the golden lottery ticket to go and fight one of the big boys and make stupid money. on the spot, will it be revenge for david kay? why do you always do this? i have a feeling it will be as tight, as bloody and as fiercely contended. i just fancy david hay a little bit to lead their little bit with a win but i'm not quite sure how much he will have left in the tank at 37. we ask you because we don't like people sitting on the fence, we love your passion. in an hour's time we will be going to badminton completely different.
7:42 am
does five live have commentary of that fight tonight? absolutely. badminton horse trials. not the racket is worse, just to clarify! you're watching accessed from bbc news. our main stories this morning? donald trump has said the uk's strict gun laws has led to a rise in knife crime saying one london hospital is like a war zone because of the number of stabbing victims. a former suspect in the murder of the teenager stephen lawrence has been arrested by armed police in barcelona on suspicion of drugs offences. we're looking ahead to the weekend, the weather. is buying holiday weekend. houses looking? it is looking pretty promising for many of us. some glorious bank holiday weekend weather for you, if i could could be the early warmest
7:43 am
early bank holiday. a pristine scene here. a little bit of listing is the sitting of the thames but any mist is burning away now so blue skies from any of us. not everywhere though. for most places, it is high pressure that dominates through the weekend bringing sunny spells and most temperatures going to be on the up. high—pressure sitting out towards the east of us at the moment. we have this front which is approaching from the north—west. that would be more of a troublemaker particularly for the north west of scotland, bringing more cloud and at times drizzly rain. elsewhere, we have some cloud around across parts of northern ireland, southern scotland. some low cloud and some folk around the coast. further east is where you're more likely to see more of that sunshine. temperatures lifting the 22 degrees today. it is a pleasant day today and a lovely evening to come and then overnight,
7:44 am
most evening to come and then overnight, m ost pla ces evening to come and then overnight, most places once again staying dry away from the north west of scotland with a little bit of patchy rain here. with this clearer skies, quidditching the night ahead. temperatures dipping into single figures and some mist and fog patches overnight as well. we will see mist and fold tomorrow across western parts of wales, north—west england, south—west scotland. but elsewhere, a lot of dry, sunny weather once again, so as any cloud brea ks weather once again, so as any cloud breaks uttering the afternoon, we should see those temperatures rising nicely. 23 or 2a celsius tomorrow but it is always that in that colour and breezy and cloud across the north—west of scotland with some rain at times. those temperatures continue to rise three in the bank holiday monday because we will be drawing in this pretty warm air from any continent is the breeze coming in from the south east. during monday it self, namely the southern half of the country that will see the very warm weather with lots of sunshine. further north, a little bit colour with the breeze just

coming in from the north sea. and missing this tends to clear away. temperatures for bank holiday monday will do pretty well. in the north 17-20, monday will do pretty well. in the north 17—20, but in the south that could be 26 or 27. that is the warmest early may bank holiday on record and the weather is looking pretty decent over the next few days. that's fabulous. the kind of weather we like. we have the headlines coming up, but now it is time for news watch. hello, and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. was bbc news more interested in forcing home secretary amber rudd out of herjob than justice for the windrush generation? and why did the name and address of this woman who asked to be kept anonymous appear on screen?
7:46 am
first on thursday, more than a,000 council seats were contested in 150 local authorities across england. but the results were neither a triumph nor a disasterfor any of the major parties. on friday's news at one, eleanor garnier gave her analysis. traditionally, governments get a kicking at local elections, but this time round i has not happened. the tories have been in government for eight years with austerity throughout that time. despite a difficult winter for the nhs and the recent windrush scandal, labour has only made small steps rather than big strides. it will mean relief for the tories and perhaps leave labour a little puzzled. well, hazel murie watched some of the programme building up to those elections, including wednesday's newsnight and had this comment to make. david catlan—birch was viewing
7:47 am
thursday night's coverage of the election results when he took time out to e—mail us along similar lines. and in the early hours of friday morning, william shepherd had a different point to make. it had already been a busy week for westminster—based journalists after the frenzied speculation over the future of the then home secretary amber rudd culminated on sunday evening with her resignation.
7:48 am
as the news at 10pm went on air, one of its headlines was this. ministers rally behind amber rudd with the conservative party chairman saying she did not know about specific targets for removing illegal immigrants. £u€!§%je§££-§i§y§y§i§ 1521. 7” . . . . 7 update from clive myrie. now, in the last few minutes while wehavebeenomaicz it has been announced that amber rudd has resigned. theresa may has accepted the resignation of the home secretary. again, there were objections from newswatch viewers to the way the build up to amber rudd's departure was reported. before it was announced, david and christina wilkins felt... and david hopper told us later in the week...

now, is all publicity good publicity? that was the fear of some members of the audience watching tuesday's exclusive lead report on the news at 6pm about the promotion of essay writing services by youtube stars, which enable students to cheat. our investigation has uncovered the youtube stars selling cheating, paid by a company in ukraine promoting a service to students that could land them in serious trouble. targeting teenagers using the people they trust. the report went on to feature in particular one so—called professional essay writing service and the prominence given to it angered bruce who left us this message... on wednesday, health secretary
7:50 am
jeremy hunt announced an independent review into why a50,000 women in england failed to receive invitations for a final routine breast cancer screening. the news channel was broadcasting his statement to the house of commons live as the clock ticked towards the news at 1pm. were there any warnings, written or otherwise, that should've been heeded earlier? was the issue escalated to ministers at the appropriate time? what are the broader patient safety lessons for screening it systems? that was jeremy hunt announcing that news that around 40,000 women
7:51 am
news that around 450,000 women in england missed out on the final routine breast cancer screening between 2009 and 16. but some viewers were upset that the health secretary was cut off in his prime, as they saw it, by the bbc. and earlier in the week, another health story caused some controversy. on tuesday, it was revealed that 2,500 patients who'd been seen by a neurologist in belfast were being recalled after a review of his work had raised concerns over their treatment. emma vardy reported on the biggest ever recall of patients in northern ireland. patients with serious conditions such as ms and parkinson's were under dr watt‘s care. now it is feared some may have been misdiagnosed. one patient who received a letter this morning asked
7:52 am
to speak anonymously. the patient‘s identity was concealed in the interview that followed but whereas we blurred out the name and address and other details on that shot of the letter just shown, the news at 6pm failed to do so. that prompted an angry reaction from a number of viewers, including sue dickson, who described herself as... we asked bbc news to respond to complaints, and they told us... please do let us know your thoughts on any of the subjects featured
7:53 am
on this programme or indeed on any aspect of bbc news. there will be details of how to contact us at the end of the programme. we had a query this week of a kind we receive regularly, prompted by this interview on tuesday morning with international trade secretary liam fox, who was speaking down the line from westminster. the elected house passed the legislation for the referendum. the public voted in the referendum. they voted to leave the european union, the house of commons passed legislation to allow that to happen. it is not acceptable for an unelected house to try to block the democratic will of the british people. well, cameron mcgoldrick e—mailed us to say... viewers have also contacted us in the past to ask why the backdrop
7:54 am
to interviews done down the line from bbc newsroom features the same footage again and again? and if that's the case, why they are being described as live. well, the answer is that though the guests are there live, in some cases, the backdrop is prerecorded, as was the case on tuesday with the elizabeth tower, currently rather unsightly because of scaffolding. question time on thursday took on the issue of the cost of housing, with a provocatively phrased question from an audience member. here is david dimbleby. and extremely welcome to come to question time. we are always looking for lively and is of the audience. i'm going to go on to a topic which affects a lot of people here from teresa morris please. is homeownership within the reach of younger people if they ditch takeaway coffees and avocado toast? yes, that's a good quote. not everyone agreed it was a good quote,
7:55 am
with many viewers complaining about younger millennial people being slurred with unfair stereotypes. in fact, janie bache posted this tweet... while greg jenner also objected to that question being aired with this response... finally, what's the connection between town in north wales and the uk's departure from the european union? the answer is to be found in the bbc‘s live subtitling service which, as we've discussed before, sometimes has problems recognising the words spoken on television. occasionally to a comic degree. one of the examples we raised 18 months ago where the bbc‘s head of broadcast operations was the spoken word "brexit" appearing on screen as wrexham.
7:56 am
well, despite the very frequent use of brexit on air, it seems the computer software is still making the same mistake. that screen grab was posted on twitter this week, commenting wryly, "brexit means wrexham." thank you for all the comments you've sent us this week. if you would like to share your opinions on bbc news and current affairs or even appear in person on the programme, you can telephone us on... or e—mail newswatch@bbc. co. uk. you can find us on twitter at newswatchbbc and do have a look at our website where you can watch previous discussions we've recorded. the address for that is... bbc.co.uk/newswatch. that's all from us. we'll back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. hello this is breakfast, with rachel burden and charlie stayt. president trump has compared a london hospital to a war zone in a speech defending gun laws.

they say it is as bad as a military war zone hospital. knives, knives, knives. good morning it's saturday, 5th may. also this morning... jamie acourt, a former suspect in the murder of stephen lawrence, and one of the uk's most wanted fugitives is arrested in spain. fresh volcanic eruptions in hawaii before the islands are rocked by a major earthquake. in sport, a record crowd heads for wembley, for the women's fa cup final, this evening, as arsenal
