welcome to bbc news. more details have emerged about the arrest of jamie acourt, one of britain's most wanted fugitives. he'd managed to evade detection for two years, before being arrested in barcelona on suspicion of drugs offences. jamie acourt was one of five people suspected of being involved in the murder of stephen lawrence in 1993, something he's always denied. spanish police sources say he used false identities. at the time of his arrest, he claimed to be an italian tourist. tom burridge is in barcelona. he was a top target for spanish and british police. today, jamie acourt is finally in police custody.

he was arrested at this gym in central barcelona. spanish police tell me that when officers moved in, mr acourt claimed he was an italian tourist. simon macdonald was at the gym. the story, the gossip is police officers were working out in the gym, to keep an eye on him, to make sure he did not run away. undercover. he saw the police operation happen. i saw the convergence of the police officers, a pincer operation, to use the terminology, the next minute they were escorting him out with his hands behind his back in handcuffs. was there any drama? none whatsoever, it was very silent. a bit eerie. the gym is near the sagrada familia cathedral. police think he lived nearby. there are few places in spain better than central barcelona if you are a foreigner and want to blend in. i am told by a senior spanish police

source that jamie acourt was using false names. he had protection and was moving around spain, spending time in parts of the country full of tourists. mr acourt was trying to keep a low profile in spain. he knew he was wanted and wanted to keep a low profile. we have been on his trail using intelligence methods. jamie acourt was one of the original suspects in the murder of stephen lawrence. the teenager was stabbed to death in an unprovoked racist attack in 1993. five years later, mr acourt, seen here in a black suit and sunglasses, gave evidence at a public inquiry. of a large—scale supply of drugs. tom davis update on what he heard

from spanish authorities. we got a juicy details on the operation. i'm told by senior police source, that he was using false names, protection, and moving around spain spanning parts of the country with tours. one witness said that he was told that they were undercover police officers in the gym, working out, watching him, before other officers moved in. i am told by spanish police, when they went to a resting, he initially tried to claim they had the wrong man, he said apparently, he was an italian tourist. he will face a bail hearing today, in the coming days, he is expected to appear before the high court, which will decide whether to extradite him back to britain, the police have been working for years to track him down. he could be

extradited quickly, but if he exposes that, —— opposes that, could bea exposes that, —— opposes that, could be a matter of weeks. 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. the president was defending americans' right to own guns, which he said were "under siege", in a speech to the powerful national rifle association. gary o'donoghue reports. reporter: there he is. there's donald j trump. travelling to the nra's convention is becoming an annual pilgrimage for president trump, though today, the president remained staunch in his defence of them and their right constitutionally to own a gun. your second amendment rights are under siege. but they will never, ever be under siege as long as i'm your president. cheering. but after the shooting of 17 students and teachers at the school in parkland, florida on valentine's day, the mood has changed, with young people around the country keeping gun control

at the forefront of the debate. my daughter has no voice. she was murdered last week. shortly after that shooting, the president seemed prepared to stand up to the organisation, though little action followed. there was no such tough talk for the nra today. the president also suggesting that just having tight gun laws, like those in london, didn't 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 for horrible stabbing wounds. yes, that's right. they don't have guns, they have knives. this was an uncompromising speech by the president. and in a year where there are congressional elections, there's unlikely to be any more compromise from republicans. gary o'donoghue, bbc news, dallas.

russian police have arrested critics of vladimir putin who've been protesting against his inauguration for a fourth term in office. among those detained is the opposition leader, alexei navalny, who has called for a nationwide day of action, accusing mr putin ruling like a tsar. the governor of hawaii has declared a state of emergency after a series of powerful earthquakes hit one of the islands. the epicentre was beneath the erupting volcano, mount kilauea. the 6.9 magnitude quake sent people fleeing from buildings and briefly cut power supplies. charlotte gallagher reports. a ribbon of thick lava snakes through the suburban streets and forests, the molten liquid destroying anything in its path. lava has been surging across the island since thursday, sometimes shooting up to 100 feet in the air. it was really smoking bad,

you could smell it in the air. we're going to get cut off is what i think‘s going to happen. residents rushed to flee their homes, grabbing what they could. it broke out right down the hill from our house, i smelt it and i ran to the corner and that's when i ran into a military officer that told me that it's smoking and, sure as heck enough, i take the turn, and one of my favourite streets, at least, was on fire. 1,700 people have been ordered to evacuate. those who refuse have been warned no one will rescue them because of the toxic smoke suffocating the area. these deep cracks have appeared on roads and streets. residents say it felt like a giant snake was moving under their houses. you can feel the heat coming from the ground. yeah, there's heat coming up out of there. there's lava under there. this is where the lava

is coming from. the kilauea volcano. normally tourists can go right up to the rim. today it's only safe viewed from the air. much of the landscape is now scorched earth with homes, businesses and forests destroyed. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. a 38—year—old woman, from strabane in northern ireland, is in a critical condition after she was assaulted with a cordless drill. the attack happened in the early hours of this morning. a 17—year—old man is being questioned. the police say they are "exploring a possible homophobic motive" and have appealed for witnesses to come forward. declan harvey reports. a possible homophobic attack and certainly a brutal one say police. the victim, a 38—year—old woman, was making her way along here, railway street. it's one of the main roads into the town centre. when her attacker appeared. what happened next has been described to us as like something

from a horrorfilm. from what i've learned of the detail, this is a horrendous, monstrous, brutal attack. certainly one of the worst incidents i have learned since becoming an mla for this area. the entire community of stabane and beyond are shocked and horrified at what they've learned has happened to a young woman last night. the cordless drill inflicted injuries understood to be extremely serious. the woman's condition today, critical but stable. we were having the craic and having a laugh. when i left, 15 minutes before the incident, i went home because i was tired. i got a call this morning to say what happened across the street. i couldn't believe it. it was really distressing. police arrested a 17—year—old a short distance from here. he's being questioned by detectives. those detectives are also appealing to anyone who may have mobile phone or dashcam footage from the area last night. declan harvey, bbc newsline, stra bane, county tyrone. police are investigating

after a one—year—old boy was found dead in a flat in fife. emergency services were called to a block of flats in dunfermline on wednesday, where the young child's body was discovered. police are treating the incident as "unexplained". jeremy corbyn says the local election results leave labour well placed to win the next general election. the party won control of several councils and had their best result in the capital since 1971. the party did however, fail to capture several key targets from the conservatives. the party's former spin—doctor, alastair campbell has criticised the leadership and said labour should at this stage be destroying the tory party. we're kidding ourselves if we think these election results are good. i think what i've been arguing for today is not living in denial of real questions and real problems they want labour to address, but face up to them. it's not underminejeremy corbyn to say that out there in the real

world people are asking the question whether he could be prime minister. they are asking whether the shadow cabinet is 18, whether we are doing the right thing and brexit, whether we have the right positions on foreign policy, whether we are taking anti—semitism seriously. these are real questions. if you look at the way the tories are handling brexit where it's all about wishful thinking, i think there's an element to parts of the labour party if we stop talking and debating real walks into power. it doesn't work like that. earlier i spoke to michael segalov, a journalist and labour party member. he doesn't agree with alastair campbell and he told me he's fed up of the constant criticism ofjeremy corbyn. i think it's quite tedious that we're still going round in circles talking about the leadership, when there's been a clear steer from the labour party leadership over the last two years that jeremy corbyn is the leader. the direction of the labour party is now set. actuall, his was a good result for the labour party, maybe not the gains that some people

were predicting, but actuall last year we were told in the 2017 general election that labour had had a successful fluke, that we would never see that sort of result again. but this year labour have built on those results, we have increased our vote share, and that's impressive and should be celebrated. there were some impressive gains in the local results, in places like plymouth. in london, we didn't take some places, kensington and chelsea, wandsworth, westminster, actually the results were pretty good for the labour party in these tory strongholds. in wandsworth, under 100 votes would have swung the council from one to another. in westminster there was only a 1% difference in vote share between labour and the conservatives. they are important gains for the labour party. is it doing enough, though? there have been an increase in the voices saying, "we should be way ahead." "more should have been done." are you happy with the direction of the labour party? personall speaking, what we saw in the last general election, the last key marker, was some exciting policies in terms of national ideas.

nationalisation, tuition fees, the nhs, things that really got people engaged in politics. in local elections, all parties failed to do that. it feels old. as a younger person, i do not really have roots anywhere. issues that are seen as bread—and—butter in local elections are not there. the labour party needs to find ways to radically shake up the way we do local politics, that is the key to making sure those people who came out last year will come out again for the labour party in the future. isjeremy corbyn the man to do that? there's been enough leadership elections to show that clearly is the will of the labour party. it is tiring that we are continually discussing him as a leader. the labour party right now is not about individuals or leadership. what's exciting is that we had people knocking on doors all over the country, people who had not campaigned before, to get people talking about the issues that matter to them. despite what's being said by some people in the press, momentum managed to galvanise people in seats up and down the country, people who had not gone on the ground before,

to try and get people talking. i think that's what's exciting here. the time is quarter past five, your headlines now. jamie acourt, one of the original suspects in the murder of stephen lawrence, is arrested in spain on drugs charges, he'll appear before a judge today. donald trump criticises the level of knife crime in london,comparing one of the capital's hospitals to a war—zone an erupting volcano in hawaii has triggered a series of earthquakes , including the most powerful to hit the state since 1975. north korea has changed it's time—zone to match the south, following last week's landmark inter—korean summit. the official news agency said the country was moving its clocks forward by 30 minutes, bringing it into line with its southern neighbour. president trump and south korean president, moonjae—in are to hold talks at the white house later on this month to prepare

for a meeting between mr trump and the north korean leader, kim jong—un. the summit is expected to take place in late may orjune. president trump has said that a time and place for the summit have been set, but details have not yet been released. our correspondent stephen mcdonell in seoul, explained the significance behind this development. it sounds like it is nothing, the north koreans have changed their clocks, moved them forward by half an hour to bring that country in line with their southern neighbours, but it is quite significant because, you can imagine the administration of kim jong—un will have to explain to all north koreans why they are doing this. if this is a goodwill gesture towards the south, that is expressing to everyone in north korea this goodwill. it is interesting, because the times in north and south korea were previously aligned, and north korea changed it because it was seen then as a symbolic shift because the time

that we have here now was put in place by the japanese when they occupied the korean peninsula, at the beginning of the 20th century. symbolically, pyongyang decided to change the time. now it has had to symbolically change it back again, so while it sounds like nothing, it actually is quite something. it is interestingly one way that we know that everybody in north korea knows something is going on right now in terms of relations between north and south korea, two countries which are technically still at war. i was speed in mcdonald there. up to one in five children in the uk have been exposed to domestic abuse at home, according to figures from the nspcc. now, a new project between the police and schools, means that teachers are alerted to any incident that involves violence, so that children receive support. headteachers want the project

to be compulsory. our education correspondent, elaine dunkley has more. he would storm off shouting and slam the door and i would flinch, and i would check on the children. they would be hiding in their rooms. for years, this mother and her children suffered domestic abuse. like many, she kept it secret. before the school knew, a couple of times i had sent them into the school upset and had to tell the teacher, it has been a rushed morning it has been difficult at home, and that is all i said. but that has changed thanks to operation encompass, a phone call by police that alerts teachers to an incident of domestic violence. how important was that first conversation with the teacher? it felt life—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 encompass was set up in plymouth by this headteacher, elizabeth, and her husband david, a former police sergeant. she was frustrated that often teachers were not notified of incidents of domestic abuse until months later. i 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 adverbs today," when they are anxious about what's happening at home, anxious about 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. it 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 over 1,500 calls a day. something as simple as a phone call has changed the lives of many children, but operation encompass has also shown that there is scope to do much more. the next step would be to look at how we can expand it 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 operation 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. more than 2,500 patients with rain conditions are being recalled to special clinics in northern ireland today, over fears they were misdiagnosed by a senior neurologist.

patients seen by consultant dr michael watt were contacted by the belfast trust after doctors raised concerns about the care he was giving. keith doyle reports. the first of thousands of patients diagnosed with neurological conditions will start to get new assessments from today. amid fears they may have been misdiagnosed. 200 additional clinics have been set up in northern ireland to review 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 practise, this is a complex and time—consuming process. all of which, the trust admits is extremely stressful for patients and their families. more than 10,000 calls have been made to a helpline after it was revealed 450,000 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. police in paris are deploying in large numbers, for mass protests called ahead of the anniversary of president emmanuel macron‘s inauguration. authorities are hoping to avoid

a repeat of the violence and damage that scarred may day protests in paris earlier this week. earlier our paris correspondent hugh schofield explained the reason behind the protests. they believe he is enacting reforms that paper exclusively the better off end of a society, the long and short of it. he is as we know pursuing policies, which are looked on broadly favourably by the rest of the world. they look and see france changing, and in doctoring more pro market ideas which have become current elsewhere and loosening up the labour code and changing railway systems so that the railway workers do not havejobs systems so that the railway workers do not have jobs for life, systems so that the railway workers do not havejobs for life, changing university systems, so there is an element of selection, all are things which are uncontroversial and other countries, but here, they do trigger

a backlash among people who are, and large of a —— number of them were weighted, value the values of the left. they believe that he is someone left. they believe that he is someone who is in all of the money and finance. the kind of globalised liberalism they are a bore, so that's why they are on the streets today they represent a sizeable part of france, and whether they make it different to make it changes doubtful i would say. taking you live now, where the crowds have been gathering throughout the day, it's been described as the macron party and a very jovial atmosphere been described as the macron party and a veryjovial atmosphere also described. that is the live scene in paris where protesters are gathering, that scene there, more as a get through the day. a giant bronze statue of the communist philosopher, karl marx, has been unveiled

in the german town of drier, where he was born. the installation, a gift from china, marks the 200th anniversary of marx's birth. the european commission president, jean—claude juncker was among those invited to speak at the unveiling. demonstrators heckled the ceremony. a nasa mission to study the composition of mars has begun its six—month journey to the planet. the rocket is carrying a probe which is designed to help scientists find out about what's inside mars, beneath its crust. our science correspondent victoria gill reports. three, two, one, zero. right on time, shrouded in fog at 4:05am local time, the atlas v rocket carrying nasa's mars insight lander launched from vandenberg air force base on the californian coast. this, the us space agency says, is notjust another mission to the red planet, but a journey back in time.

probing beneath the surface of mars for the first time, insight will aim to take the pulse of the planet to work out how it formed more than 11.5 billion years ago. once it's unfolded its vital solar panels, the robotic lander will carefully put down its own scientific instruments which will map the deep structure of the planet. these will take the temperature of mars and analyse the structure of its core. one instrument, a seismometer, will pick up signals from martian earthquakes, or marsquakes. unlike previous missions,the most recent missions have been looking for water and habitability, this particular one is looking at how the planet itself is made up, how it's built. earth and mars formed at the same time, probably by similar processes, so this mission could also shed light on why the two planets are so different. beyond a trip to mars, scientists say this is a mission to our solar system's past. peering beneath mars' surface could also help us

understand how earth, the moon and even distant exoplanets around other stars evolved. victoria gill, bbc news. philip avery has the weather. it's time we brought you right up to date with how we see the rest of the bank holiday weekend on folding right across the british isles. no complaints, i suspect, from the old area here. notjust darren‘s sky that looking like that, many of you are enjoying a sparkling saturday. however, there are exceptions to that rule. most notably, perhaps, some, and i repeat, some of the irish sea coasts. that is the view in one or two spots. but even here, there are blue skies to be had if you haven't got back sea mist and fog coming in and out with the tide. in and out with the breeze. the weather from across the north west of scotland more of an ever present. to give more in the way of cloud, some bits and pieces of rain as well.

it will be there overnight. as we come away from that, the skies stay pretty clear across the south—east and east anglia. on the sandy soils, you could be down to two or three degrees or so. there isn't a great deal of change. we are now into sunday. still that murk a potential threat around the irish sea coast, getting up towards the solway and the eastern shores of antrim and down. more extensive rain as the weather front closes into the northern and north—western part of scotland. eastern side of scotland and much of england, wales and northern ireland, too, perhaps a fraction warmer than was the case on saturday. as i take you from sunday into bank holiday monday, this air stream is still the dominant flow, dragging warmth out of the heart of the continent and pushing it towards the british isles. there is cloud and some rain in northern and western parts of scotland, cloudy in northern ireland, but not without brightness here. still that potential for murk around some of the irish sea coasts. it could well be that we see another degree or two on those temperatures. if we make it up to the lofty

heights of 26, possibly even 27 degrees, that will set a record for the bank holiday monday of a bank holiday. 27 degrees would be the mark we are looking for. that's probably the one that would make the headlines. having said all of that, it may well be the case that some of you don't get anywhere near that. tuesday, we will still have a banner of cloud across many of these western areas. still producing the odd bits of rain even as far ahead of that, eastern and south—eastern parts still very warm. this is bbc news — our latest headlines. jamie acourt, one of the original suspects in the murder of stephen lawrence, is due to appear in court in spain after being arrested on drugs charges. donald trump criticises the level of knife crime in london, comparing one of the capital's hospitals to a war—zone. an erupting volcano in hawaii has triggered a series of earthquakes,

been on this road four, almost five weeks ago. wejust been on this road four, almost five weeks ago. we just wanted to get some sort of pride and commitment backin some sort of pride and commitment back in there. the supporters haven't been excellent. one the one standing up here talking about the occasion but it is us as a football clu b occasion but it is us as a football club the club came together, the supporters, staff, officials, everybody came together and working hard. through that hard work and commitment, results are coming. stoke city are the first team to be relegated from the premier league this season — their fate sealed by a late fight back from crystal palace. players dropped to the turf as the full time whistle confirmed their position. their afternoon had started much more brightly. craig templeton reports. in the premier league, many matches are called must win but stoke city new either beat crystal palace in

the potteries heat all their hopes of survival would be shattered. palace had all the early pressure but the dangerous wilfried zaha couldn't find the finish. but when you have a master craftsman like shaqiri in yourteam, you have a master craftsman like shaqiri in your team, you always have a chance. the tension was rising. in the second half, tempers threatened to boil over. cracks then started showing in the stoke defence. james mcarthur found a gap. and then found the equaliser. and then stoke's fate was sealed when ryan shawcross got in a spin, leaving patrick van aanholt with the simplest of finishes. after a decade of premier league football, it's the championship next season for stoke. and some of these fans will remember that it can take years before you return. craig templeton, bbc news. they were excited to pick up the

points. as i said, before, if the lads had been playing, they wouldn't have been in the position they are in. the club has to bounce back up, it is too big and the supporters are too big. it is in a good place infrastructure wise, they can do that. this football club has to bounce back. i feel very sorry. a lot of empathy for stoke city, not much fun coming off the field at the end of the game, seeing the pain etched on the players and the coaching staff's faces. it is not asked that has put them down, it's 37 matches have put them down, it's 37 matches have put them down. we just happen to be here today. and provide them with opposition that did theirjob, played the best football that they could play. swansea are on shaky ground — they lost 1—0 to bournemouth. ryan fraser's deflected goal in the first half secured bournemouth‘s place in the premier league next season — they are safe, but swansea could drop into the bottom three if southampton beat everton in the match at goodison which hasjust kicked off.

0-0 0—0 for now. and here are the other results for you in the premier league today — west ham took another step towards safety — they beat leicester 2—0. watford are safe for next season — they beat newcastle 2—0. third from bottom southampton still have three games to play. they are under way in the late kick off at everton. if southampton win that match, west brom will go down, swa nsea match, west brom will go down, swansea drop into the bottom three as well. the latest from goodison park, 0—0. we will keep you up—to—date throughout the afternoon. so this is how it looks at the bottom of the table — a crucial time forfive or six teams. west ham not mathematically safe — but huddersfield and swansea hovering above the drop—zone. stoke at the bottom now after today's loss — west brom move up a place. in the scottish premiership, dundee have all but secured their place in the top—flight for next season, after a 1—0 win over hamilton academical at dens park. dundee took the lead through kevin holt in the first half. but the game was set for a dramatic finish when hamilton won a penalty four minutes from time.

dougie imrie stepped up and failed to convert from the spot, as dundee went six points clear of the playoff positon, with two games to play. elsewhere in the premiership this afternoon, second place aberdeen drew 0—0 at home to hibernian, steven maclean scored a hat—trick in his final game for stjohnstone as they thrashed motherwell 5—1. david bates marked his last appearance at ibrox with the only goal of the game as rangers beat kilmarnock moved to within one point of second—place aberdeen. it's the women's fa cup final this afternoon — chelsea and arsenal are battling it out at wembley. a huge afternoon at wembley. it's a repeat of the 2016 fa cup final — arsenal won that one — and there's a record crowd of over 40,000 at wembley to enjoy this installment. these are the live pictures — you can watch the match on bbc one. early stages of the fa cup final.

currently 0—0 between arsenal and chelsea. elia viviani has won the second stage of the giro d'italia. the italian fought his way through on the sprint to the finish line in tel aviv to claim the second giro stage victory of his career. britain's chris froome appears to have recovered from his poor start yesterday. we should be seeing the pictures, 110w. he crossed the line in the main field and remains 21st overall. australian rohan dennis has taken the leader's pinkjersey. tomorrow is the final stage in israel before the race resumes in italy on tuesday. john higgins is through to the final of the world snooker championship. the four—time champion resumed today with a 13—11 lead and eventually beat kyren wilson 17 frames to 13 at the crucible. in the other semi, barry hawkins is 13—11 up on mark williams. they play to a finish this evening for the right to play higgins in the final.

imean, i mean, i've had my family down and it's a big thing. you see them setting up and it's a big thing for the family. obviously, he's going to be gutted but i'm just proud. he obviously seized on the opportunity of my inexperience early oi'i. opportunity of my inexperience early on. i missed a sitter of a red at 4-3 to on. i missed a sitter of a red at 4—3 to potentially go for— four. from then on it was like tom and jerry, i was always trying to catch the mouth that i could never catch it in the end that might potentially go 4—4. john isjust different class. what a day of sport it is. david haye and tony bellew are getting ready for their heavyweight rematch which takes place later tonight at london's o2 arena. both men have weighed in lighter than last time and have promised a fight packed with speed rather than brawn. bellew stopped an injury—stricken haye in the first fight 1a months ago and reckons his mental strength will prove too much, but haye has different ideas. the final face—to—face last time

round, i saw no fear, no breaking him. this time round, when i looked into his eyes, it was a different man. he knows it, i know it, we all know it. he can't do the same thing. what's going to happen isn't going to happen, what happened last time isn't going to happen this time. that is later on at the o2 arena. still 0—0 between everton and southampton in the premier league and arsenal and chelsea in the women's's fa cup at wembley. watch that live on bbc one. that's all the sport for now. now — when a courier is on a job, you'd expect them to drop off a parcel, get a signature and leave. but one amazon driver decided that wasn't enough — he wanted something in return. that's when wilma, the 11 month old miniature schnauzer disappeared.

emma north has the details... emily, herfather richard, and their dog, wilma. they are a close team. she's quite lively, quite feisty. she always likes to play with her brother. last week, the family nearly lost her when a delivery of dog food arrived at the house. we noticed there had been an amazon delivery. and only one dog. wilma was nowhere to be seen. i wasjust in shock. i didn't know it at the time, but it's one of the worst things that can happen to you when you suddenly think, has your dog gone? a frantic search followed. we use this volunteering group called murphy's army and also dogs lost. they helped us with a search party. we also had a sniffer dog round, to see if we could search for her to see if she had escaped into the lanes. our only lead was the fact the amazon driver had delivered a parcel within the hour she went missing. we spent three consecutive

days on the phone to amazon customer services for hours. each time they would tell us we need more time, another 24 hours. by day two we were saying, that is not good enough. what did you do as a last resort to get in touch with amazon? we e—mailed jeff bezos, the founder of amazon. and a man from amazon rang them straight back. he called me to say he had spoken to the agency that employs the driver, and the driver has said he doesn't know anything about the puppies. a couple of hours later, he phoned me to say he was looking at the tracking software of the driver to see if there was anything unusual. wilma was at the delivery driver's house. amazon told us this does not reflect the high standards we have for our delivery partners. they will be opportunist. they deliver so many millions of parcels, every day. i think people need to be really vigilant.

much more careful with the security of their pets. and not necessarily have such a great trust for the people that enter the driveway every day. i've discovered my daughter is the most determined person i have known in my life. for four days, every waking moment, she was doing something that was an action to find wilma and get her home. and if i slackened off for one minute, she was there saying, "no, you can't do that, that is not getting wilma back". she has been fantastic. she is my hero. give us a kiss! the headlines on bbc news: jamie acourt, one of the original suspects in the murder of stephen lawrence, is arrested in spain on drugs charges — he'll appear before a judge today. donald trump criticises the level of knife crime in london — comparing one of the capital's hospitals to a war—zone. an erupting volcano in hawaii has triggered a series of earthquakes, including the most powerful to hit the state since 1975. sir david attenborough has been

sharing his views on plastic, brexit and tv fakery. in an interview with the bbc‘s martha kearney, to mark the re—opening of the world's largest victorian glasshouse, the temperate house, at kew gardens, sir david said that plastic is a "major danger" to the planet. we can never go far enough, because we shall always be overwhelmed with plastic. but, at the moment, we are using plastic in a completely functionless sway. in a completely functionless way. i mean, it baffles me. people send me letters and if they think they are important, they put them in a plastic envelope. and then put that in another envelope. why? i can't understand. i mean, it makes them look, i suppose, precious or something. but it's quite functionless.

and we use plastic, or have done until now, with total abandon, without any care or concern about where it's going to go or what it might do. if we can pull ourselves together and recognise that, actually, it is a major danger, particularly in the sea, we are stepping in the right direction. an awful lot of people now are working on ways in which you can deal with plastic waste. one of the problems is, of course, is plastic is notjust plastic, there are lots of different kinds of plastics, chemically. what works for one kind of plastic is not necessarily working for another. those are the problems they are wrestling with at the moment. was it a conscious decision in the programme to highlight the pollution of plastic? well, it was certainly in the mind of the producers that we would have a sequence. but i've been saying that, and we've been making programmes about that sort

of thing, for decades. i mean, i've certainly talked about plastic many times before. and many, many other people have, too. why has it happened just now? that i can't tell. itjust struck a particular moment in the national mood when people were sensitive to that particular danger. why? i don't know. but it certainly has had a huge effect. and, finally, you recently made a television programme, you were in conversation with the queen. you talked to her about her legacy, the commonwealth canopy tree project. what would you like your own legacy to be? well, i don't think i deserve... i mean, i've been unbelievably lucky for the last, what, 60 years or something, to make natural history programmes. and with a lot of other people, too, cameramen, recordists, so one. cameramen, recordists, so on. we've all worked together in the natural history unit and produced a great corpus of stuff. i would like to think

that there will not be any of it which you couldn't do again, perhaps better. but it could be that quite a lot of those things will become extinct in 50 to 100 years' time. in which case, that will be a legacy that future generations will treasure. think of what it would be like if you could see pterodactyls coming across and, actually, it brought come thundering through his newly planted palm trees. laughter. sir david attenborough, many thanks indeed. let's go before the pterodactyls come! laughter brontosaurus. now it's time for meet the author. how can a writer make us care about a creature from greek mythology born of the gods as a nymph? it's a challenge for any novelist. madeline miller did it first with achilles, now she tells the story of the great sorceress and enchantress, circe, who leads us through many of the great stories of mythology, behaving badly — like she so often did — but at the same time emerging as a figure with human qualities, including

of course vulnerability. who will win many readers‘ sympathy because she is an individual trying to make sense of a very troubled world. welcome. what is the trick in humanising an immortal nymph like circe? well, i think i've always found that these ancient myths really resonate with un—human nature in that they are very timeless in what they are looking at, and i absolutely felt that as i was approaching circe. here she is, yes, she's a goddess,

yes, she is a nymph, but she lives in a world where she is the pawn of much more powerful people than herself and she's on the receiving end. she doesn't have a lot of control, initially, over what she can do with her life and where she can go, and i think we can all relate to feeling in the grip of larger powers than ourselves. nonetheless, you have to bring them to life. they've got to be something more than statues in a museum, and if we're going to meet odysseus and prometheus and all these people who've got more than a walk—on parts in the story, they need to come off the wall, don't they? absolutely, and one of the things i love about the ancient myths is that when we talk about these greek heroes we use the word hero today to talk about someone who often is a moral exemplar. the ancient greek heroes were not moral exemplars at all. they were very complex, they had huge strengths and also huge faults, and so i really wanted to honour that in all of the characters — particularly circe — to make her a person that is three—dimensional, complex with those flaws

and strengths as well. and, of course, you turn her into a figure who still has the powers, immortality and the ability to turn people into pigs and other things that she wants to and doesn't like them, which she uses, but you give her a humanity. she changes nappies. it's a dangerous game. you were a high school classics teacher by trade. do you ever think i'm letting this side down? i certainly have worried about the classics police and getting kicked out of the classics club, but i think that most classicists agree that the stories live because they are retold and they have been retold so many times over the years in so many contradictory ways and that's why they are still with us. and it's no accident that they've been told, because they are fundamental stories. folk myths, same thing. exactly. and i think that there is no such thing as an objective, definitive version of a mist.

definitive version of a myth. i think they invite us into retell them. so, what about her? what sort of person do you think she becomes in your hands? well, iwanted her to be a character who is really forged by being downtrodden very early on in her life, and i think sometimes that can drive people towards then treading on people towards them treading on others, but i think it can also draw great empathy and pity for others, and i think that's the way circe goes. and the downtrodden nature that you reveal is very much connected with her femininity. yes. this is a world, the ancient greek mythological world, is a world that's not kind to women at all. it is not kind to a lot of people, men and women, but in particular as a woman and one of these lower—level nymphs, you are prey. i would not suggest for a second that this is a tract or a great political statement, but it's undoubtedly a book deeply informed by a feminist perspective in the world, isn't it? yes, i really wanted

to take this female character and put her at the centre of her own epic. women have traditionally not been the subject of epics. their lives have not been seen as important enough for an epic, and so just as odysseus gets his epic i wanted this to be her epicjourney. and in a way, the humanising of these mythological figures has to do with the revelation of her, what we call them, psychological struggles or something? that is, to come back to the very beginning of our conversation, that is the trick. that's what makes her tick. and for me that always comes originally with asking questions. so, the great mystery of circe is why is she turning men into pigs? how do you come to that point in your life? homer does not tell us, odysseus never asks her, and so i think it's really ripe for exploration. i don't believe that people do thingsjust because or on a whim, i think people have

reasons for what they do. and what is your explanation in her character? without giving too much away... indeed, yes. ..i think she feels very betrayed and assaulted and abused at one point, and she lashes out in response to that. so, really it's vengeance for her. the ancient world is very, very distant now from people. notjust because of the timeline, but because it sort of is slipping away. the days when the children went to school and many of them learnt latin as just the inevitable thing, have long gone. there is great enthusiasm for the classics in many schools, of course teachers are determined to keep them alive, but it's changed day, isn't it? it is changing. although as a high school teacher myself, one thing that i'm always struck by is when i do get children in the classroom and i do start talking about the myths, they are immediately gripped.

i think these stories are so exciting and filled with huge emotions and things that they can identify with that i think if you can give them the chance, children will run towards them. do you see yourself as some kind of classics evangelist here? i know you are writing a work of fiction and of the imagination, in a way, but you are doing more than that. you are saying look, here are great stories and i'm trying to breed a particular kind of and i'm trying to breathe a particular kind of new life and shed some new light on them. it's always really exciting to me whenever someone comes and says i read your book and it made me go back to homer. that is, for me, the ultimate compliment. i want these novels to be for everyone. but with circe, you made the point earlier that there's so much that is not explained, that you've got the gift of the unknown to play with. yes, and as it turns out, she has this whole wonderful back story that has absolutely nothing

to do with odysseus. she is the aunt of the minotaur in media, daughter of the sun god helios, she has a connection to prometheus, she's his cousin and all of these... sort of bringing everybody in. like some huge cast of a broadway musical. they are all there. if you have the opportunity to write a minotaur birth scene, i feel you have to take it. absolutely. it's interesting, this struggle between somebody who is in touch with the world of the gods in the ancient conception and the world of humanity. it's the kind of thing that wagner struggled with in the ring. how do you make this connection work? it is a big thing to take on. that really comes right out of homer, that he has this beautiful detail about her, that she is the dread goddess who speaks like a human. and so i think naturally she is that a bridge. she has a sort of a foot in each world.

and that is the curse, of course? yes, yes. i mean, if you are just one thing or the other you get on with it, but if you are stuck transporting yourself between these two worlds of the human understanding and the kind of eternal life of the gods how do you handle it? as you say, it is kind of a curse because it means that you never fully belong anywhere, but it also gives you a very interesting perspective on each of those things. you can stand back and kind of come to see them for their faults and their strengths as well. you don't belong anywhere, but nonetheless in your conception of her, you have a life that is in its own bizarre way very enriching. yes. one of the major themes of the odyssey is odysseus has this intense longing for home, and he wants to find his home in ithaca. it is a journey. yes, it is. and i wanted her to have that same sense of searching for home, except she has to create that home. she has to make it for herself. and does she do it? she does.

madeline miller, author of circe, thank you very much. thank you so much for having me. it's time we brought you right up to date with how we see the rest of the bank holiday weekend on folding right across unfolding right across the british isles. no complaints, i suspect, from the oldham area here. notjust darren‘s sky that looking like that, many of you are enjoying a sparkling saturday. however, there are exceptions to that rule. most notably, perhaps, some, and i repeat, some of the irish sea coasts. that is the view in one or two spots. but even here, there are blue skies to be had, if you haven't got that sea mist and fog coming in and out with the tide. in and out with the breeze. the weather from across the north west of scotland more of an ever present. to give more in the way of cloud, some bits and pieces of rain as well. it will be there overnight.

as we come away from that, the skies stay pretty clear across the south—east and east anglia. on the sandy soils, you could be down to two or three degrees or so. there isn't a great deal of change. we are now into sunday. still that murk a potential threat around the irish sea coast, getting up towards the solway and the eastern shores of antrim and down. more extensive rain, as the weather front closes into the northern and north—western part of scotland. eastern side of scotland and much of england, wales and northern ireland, too, perhaps a fraction warmer than was the case on saturday. as i take you from sunday into bank holiday monday, this air stream is still the dominant flow, dragging warmth out of the heart of the continent and pushing it towards the british isles. there is cloud and some rain in northern and western parts of scotland, cloudy in northern ireland, but not without brightness here. still that potential for murk around some of the irish sea coasts. it could well be that we see another degree or two on those temperatures. if we make it up to the lofty heights of 26, possibly even 27

degrees, that will set a record for the bank holiday monday of a bank holiday. 27 degrees would be the mark we are looking for. that's probably the one that would make the headlines. having said all of that, it may well be the case that some of you don't get anywhere near that. tuesday, we will still have a banner of cloud across many of these western areas. still producing the odd bits of rain even as far ahead of that, eastern and south—eastern parts still very warm. this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines... jamie acourt, one of the original suspects in the murder of stephen lawrence, has been denied bail by a spanish high courtjudge after being arrested on drugs charges. donald trump criticises the level of knife crime in london, comparing one of the capital's hospitals to a war—zone. they say it's as bad as a military war—zone hospital.
