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 that that there were actually police officers working out in the gym, to keep an eye on him, to make sure that he did not run away. undercover? undercover. yeah. he saw the police operation happen. so, what i saw was, a convergence of the different police officers. i guess, a pincer operation, to use the terminology and then the next minute they were escorting him out, with his hands behind his back, in handcuffs. was there any drama at all? no, no drama whatsoever. in fact, it was very silent, a little bit eerie. the gym is near the sagrada familia cathedral. police think he was living nearby. there are few places in spain better than central barcelona if you are a foreigner and you want to blend in. i am told by a senior spanish police source, that jamie acourt

was using false names. he had protection and he 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, obviously. he knew he was wanted and he has been trying 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 enquiry. he has always denied he was involved. tonight, jamie acourt is in custody in spain after he was denied bail. he is suspected of supplying drugs on a large scale. earlier, jamie acourt appeared via

video link from barcelona in front ofa video link from barcelona in front of a spanish high courtjudge in madrid. what is not clear is whether oi’ madrid. what is not clear is whether or not he accepted his extradition during a hearing. if he did, he could be back in britain within a matter of days but if he did not, it could be weeks. it took years of british and spanish police intelligence work to track him down. thank you. a london hospital has criticised donald trump after he appeared to compare them to war zones because of the levels of knife crime. the us president used the example to defend us gun laws at a meeting of the national rifle association. but in a statement the royal london hospital said while knife violence was a serious issue for london — the suggestion that guns were part of the solution was "ridiculous". simonjones reports. can we have some quiet for the handover, please? this is the hospital it is believed donald trump has likened to a war zone.

the royal london. bbc cameras recently saw how it treats many of the capital's stabbing victims. the patients we are seeing now have more severe injuries, they have more injuries per person and they are getting younger. dr martin griffiths told the bbc recently how some of his colleagues had likened their work to being in a military hospital. it appears that may have come to the attention of the president at the national rifle association convention in texas. 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. the hospital has hit back, saying it is proud of its excellent trauma care. a senior surgeon insisted that gunshot wounds are twice as lethal as knife injuries and some mps watched president trump's words with dismay. he shouldn't have said it. it is really a disgrace to compare our admittedly increasing levels of knife crime and the government needs to tackle that, with the astronomical levels of gun crime that you see in america. donald trump will visit the uk injuly. he has been invited to go to the royal london hospital himself to see what they are doing to tackle violence.

simon jones, bbc news. more than a thousand russian activists have been arrested while protesting against vladimir putin's forthcoming inauguration for a fourth term as president. among those seized was opposition leader, alexei navalny. from moscow, steve rosenberg sent this report. in moscow, this was the reaction to a protest against the president. riot police pushed demonstrators off pushkin square. the protesters had been shouting down with the tzar and demanding that vladimir putin serves his fourth term as president injail. there were protests in dozens of russian towns. police detained more than a thousand people. do we need a tzar, asked opposition activist, alexei navalny,

who organised the protest. no, they shouted. soon after, police dragged him away, too. earlier, on the square, russian nationalists, supporting president putin, vowed to prevent a ukraine—style revolution in russia. the anti—government protesters shouted them down. on paper at least, is vladimir putin has little to fear from a street protest. a recent survey found that the vast majority of russians have no desire to take part in political demonstrations and yet, any public display of dissent makes the russian government nervous. and that is because the kremlin has seen people power force political change in countries on russia's doorstep. hence this less than subtle hint from those in power here. that critics of the authorities can expect an even tougher time

in president putin's fourth term in the kremlin. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. youtube has removed hundreds of videos following a bbc investigation. the videos, which had contained adverts for edubirdie — a ukranian coursework and essay—writing service — had been criticised by the universities minister, who claimed they promoted "cheating on an industrial scale". it's been a hot start to the bank holiday weekend with temperatures as high as 2a degrees celsius in some parts of the country. and forecasters says it's going to get even hotter tomorrow and on monday. 0ur correspondent duncan kennedy has been taking the temperature in sunny southsea. sun, shine, heat... wave. this is southsea, just one of the places across the uk enjoying a curtain raiser to the summer of 2018. when the sun comes out, what does it

in last year's final — and he'll face either barry hawkins or mark williams this time. there's more on the bbc sport website including coverage of badminton horse trials — great britain's 0liver townend going for the grand slam of eventing there — but from me.... goodnight. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. that's all from me. goodnight. now police in northern ireland are exploring a possible homophobic motive. 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. 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. 0ur 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 children suffered domestic abuse. like many, she kept 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 and been difficult at home, and that is all i said. but that has changed thanks to 0peration encompass, a phone call by police that alerts teachers and to an incident of domestic violence. how important was that first call from 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. 0peration 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 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 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 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. time for a look at the weather now.
