when he starts to regain consciousness. his neurological state will be assessed repeatedly, and he will be only transitioned to and he will be only transitioned to an area of care which requires less support when he is starting to regain his independence and be stable. trafford supporters spoke of their admiration for sir alex. he's a legend, and he has been for the whole club, even though he isn't well now, i think a lot w615 was to é— sir alex ferguson is in manchester united, the club to it —— leading leaving the club to it —— leading the club to an astonishing 38 trophies and 26 years, an all—time great at home and abroad renowned

for his tenacity and ash and fighting spirit. but now he faces a very different kind of test. let's get the latest now from olivia rich wald, who is at old trafford. there we re wald, who is at old trafford. there were earlier reports that many fans we re were earlier reports that many fans were gathering to pay tribute to sir alex, what's been going on today? were gathering to pay tribute to sir alex, what's been going on today7m is actually a very —— very quiet here because manchester united played honourable friend, and there are quitea played honourable friend, and there are quite a few people milling about on the court, but they are there for the museum and tour. but everyone who has heard about sir alex obviously wishes him the best. we have not had any updates, so as far as we know, he is still in intensive care, which is about three miles away from here at old trafford. to be honest that is not expected as he has had a brain haemorrhage and been through major surgery. manchester united have said that they will update people and ask them when they have anything else to say. he is a legend here at manchester united, 26

yea rs legend here at manchester united, 26 years as legend here at manchester united, 26 yea rs as a legend here at manchester united, 26 years as a manager, winning 38 trophies. there is a statue here and a standard named after him. tribute to been flooding in from across the world, closer than sending in their best wishes including ac milan and aberdeen, where he was also a very sick vessel manager. also lots of personal messages from former footballs. you heard from cristiano ronaldo and david beckham, as well asa ronaldo and david beckham, as well as a nice message from pele, saying get well soon. he wrote i'm praying you get through this, as a friend i am stunned. no player sends shivers down my spine, but you did. manchester city's. .. fans held down my spine, but you did. manchester city's... fans held up a banner which said, football aside, get well soon fergie. so you can see there is a lot of warmth of feeling, and people here are hoping that some of that warmth and those messages are getting through to sir alex and that he knows that he has everyone's

support. in his career here, he was known as no—nonsense a disciplinarian, with a will to win. everyone here is hoping that the character comes out now in this very personal battle. thank you very much for that. joining me now is david waring, a consultant and neurologist, as well as professor of clinical urology at ucl. think you for joining clinical urology at ucl. think you forjoining us here on bbc news. how serious our brain haemorrhages? they are considered generally the most severe type of stroke, so it only constitutes about one in ten strokes, the mortality is actually quite high for brain haemorrhages, so about a0%. patients with a brain haemorrhage overall will die from a brain haemorrhage within the first few months, so that is the most serious type of stroke. does it depend what type or the location of the haemorrhage? doesn't have a factor in how they recover? that is

very important question, they come in all different shapes and sizes and areas in the brain, and there is vast array of witnesses. near the surface of the brain that are better, but those deeper near to the brainstem. .. better, but those deeper near to the brainstem... it's very crucial for us brainstem... it's very crucial for us to understand the size of the haemorrhage before speculating on recovery. haemorrhages can also be within the brain itself, but also around the brain, which is... they can also be a mixture of both, so there can be a very wide range of prognosis, although this is the most serious type of stroke. just defined for us what a brain haemorrhage is wasilla a brain haemorrhage is breed —— bleeding within the substance of around the brain. the most common cause in older people is the rupture ofa cause in older people is the rupture of a very small artery that is usually affected by a process driven

by high blood pressure or another process driven by the process of approaching. we call this hardening the arteries, and this is very closely linked to age as well as high blood pressure. how long did it ta ke to high blood pressure. how long did it take to form in that condition, the haematoma? the disease that causes the haemorrhage and forms over many yea rs, the haemorrhage and forms over many years, and is much more, as we get older. the haematoma itself is a ru ptu re older. the haematoma itself is a rupture into the brain, which owned a large is very quickly and last minutes to hours. i understand in the statement, part of the statement read that there is a period of intensive care to optimise recovery. what does that mean, does that mean he has been put in a coma? because it isa he has been put in a coma? because it is a brain injury effectively. he has been put in a coma? because it is a brain injury effectivelym isa it is a brain injury effectivelym is a type of brain injury, and what is a type of brain injury, and what

is meant by that is trying to co nse rve is meant by that is trying to conserve touch control all the para meters conserve touch control all the parameters that can affect the condition of the brain. so when you have a bleed into the brain, there can be all sorts of publications, like blockages of the brain edge of the fluid out of the drain, which can lead to high pressure and required drainage. sometimes the bleed needs to be taken out with neurosurgery, but optimising his condition to prevent obligations like seizures and increase pressure in the brain, like infections controlling his blood pressure, or inventing clots in his lungs and legs that can inhibit mobility, all things that need attention. thank you very much for your time. the time isjust coming up you very much for your time. the time is just coming up to ten past five, you're watching bbc news. the national crime agency has confirmed thatjamie national crime agency has confirmed that jamie a chord national crime agency has confirmed thatjamie a chord has not appealed against his extradition back to the uk. he is wanted here on suspicion of drug offences. he was one of the

original suspects in the murder of stephen lawrence. he has always denied any involvement. our correspondent has more. this was a long police investigation, intelligence led between offices here in spain and britain, and eventually he was arrested at a gym in barcelona on friday. we understand that when he gets back to britain, he will not necessarily be arrested, it is unnecessary because it is an extradition, but he will be questioned by the officers from the metropolitan police, because he is wa nted metropolitan police, because he is wanted in britain in being involved in supplying nearly £4 million back of cannabis. james acord was also one of the original suspects in the murder of stephen lawrence back in 1993, but he has never been charged in connection with the murder of a black teenager, and he has always denied any involvement in the killing. a teenage boy in south london has died after being shot. the 17—year—old was discovered with

either in his right shoulder or rightarm. he either in his right shoulder or right arm. he was immediately rushed to the hospital, and taken to the provincial capital from there. according to political colleagues and his relatives, he is in stable condition, he is talking unconscious, but this is a very worrying development for many pakistanis. there are general elections due to take place here in july or august. there's been widespread condemnation of this attack from the pakistani prime minister and from right across the political spectrum. thank you very much. the business secretary greg clark has said that a new customs partnership after uk leaves the eu is still on the table. the is a —— the idea is that they would collect ta riffs the idea is that they would collect tariffs on the eu coming to uk.

brexit campaigners say that the uk would remain in the eu. our correspondent reports. how should we trade with the eu after we leave? the government remains divided. somewhere the customs partnership where we collect tariffs on the eu pa rt where we collect tariffs on the eu part —— but half, others want a system that is its freshness is possible with some barriers. many made clear their opposition at this meeting to the customs partnership idea. but this morning the business secretary said it was very much still alive. the partnership is still alive. the partnership is still on the table? yes, whichever option is chosen, it will take some time to have them put in place and available. and he warned getting it wrong because jobs. so available. and he warned getting it wrong becausejobs. so with available. and he warned getting it wrong because jobs. so with less than a year to go until we leave, the conservative battle on this issue only intensifies suckering the

customs partnership is in a sense misnamed, because it means single market... wray we would not be leaving the european union. i'm sorry, i don't think these are dialogues, they don't resent the best interests of the british citizens, therefore... theresa may needs to sort them out and see them off. some of europe have cost out on whether they can even agree to such oppose. labour say a customs union similarto oppose. labour say a customs union similar to the cost to current one would give the uk more of the say is the only option. i think conservatives will follow us on this, we remain in the customs union during the transition period, that would solve the northern ireland border problem which is intractable. in addiction to that, it would get us the free trade we one. opposing sides continue to trade arguments on the ski brexit question. it is 16 minutes past five, your headlines on

some of them who have apparently beenin some of them who have apparently been in tears, have been contacting the bbc. they say they have turned down otherjobs the bbc. they say they have turned down other jobs because the bbc. they say they have turned down otherjobs because they thought they had this firm offer. they said they had this firm offer. they said they took out home loans in london because they thought they would be able to stay in this area, and now they don't know what will happen. the process does not start again for another week, so the uncertainty continues. a lot of anger as well about the timing of the announcement. it was made late on friday afternoon just before the bank holiday. one doctor said it was sheer cowardice, but the real composition —— college says they wa nted composition —— college says they wanted to get the news out as soon as possible. has there been any comeback on this? the college patrol couege comeback on this? the college patrol college says that the small minority ofjobs are not retractable, meaning there is a firm commitment. but you look at that and think that that

means most of the jobs can be retra cta ble, means most of the jobs can be retractable, which is what they intend to do, and the whole system will start again. i think the british medical association says they will be seeking full compensation for their members, so i think they have a different regard on whether these are firm contracts are not. 17-year-old boy has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent, after a woman was attacked with an electric drill in northern ireland. the 38—year—old victim suffered a very serious head injury and is in stable condition in hospital. the teenager was also charged with possession of an offensive weapon in a public place, and theft of a drill. he is due to appear in court on monday. a 20—year—old man has died after being found with stab wounds this morning. police and paramedics were called the hanover street at about 4am after receiving reports of an injured man. the man was then taken

things themselves. but it turned out to be an absolutely inspired and visionary decision by aberdeen, which was gloriously indicated over the next eight and a half years. did he ever change his management style? players who played under him at manchester united who also experienced him at aberdeen said he mellowed at united, so even though there was a famous ferguson temper and the controlling gene as we saw, all of that have probably been even harder and more raw at aberdeen. and that period from 78—86, a lot of what he did at aberdeen and a lot of the way that he did it was to be repeated on a bigger scale at united. he took on the rangers and

celtic football, and then he went on to united and overcame liverpool to become a dominant club. he was able to fend off are and chelsea. but the way he did it was evident from the yea rs way he did it was evident from the years at aberdeen. you described his tough management style, what was it then that commanded respect from players, how is it they never rebelled against him? there was some early dissent towards him at aberdeen from players who had been there before it who did not necessarily take to his managerial style in the first few months. because at that point he was still unproven. but i think ferguson is very easy to like, players found him very easy to like, players found him very easy to like, players found him very easy to like and responded to him. his mad management is one of the genius elements he had, it was not just about shouting at players

and putting the fear of god in them, which there was that, but he was much more than that. at garden centres and diy stores are set to cash in on a surge in sales this weekend. retailfigures set to cash in on a surge in sales this weekend. retail figures were badly affected by the bad weather over easter, but record temperatures this bank holiday weekend could mean that gardeners are finally able to catch up for lost time. this is how some garden centres looked last month. easter was a financial and meteorological wash—out for many retailers — what a difference a month makes. sunshine tends to bring out the shoppers and part—time gardeners. and what will they be buying? why, busy lizzie plants, of course. they disappeared six years ago but are back this weekend and expected to fly off the shelves. who knew? we are expecting to be very busy.

a lot of customers moving outside to do outdoor projects. a lot of people entertaining, buying barbecues, leisure furniture, sofas. yep, exceptionally busy. and if this bank holiday weekend is a busy one for the shops, it will be welcome news. according to one piece of research, there was a 21% spike in retailers experiencing financial distress in the first quarter of this year. i don't think one long bank holiday weekend with nice weather is going to make up for all the problems that are taking place in the retail sector. it will go some way and will be a good weekend, but it is not going to change the structural changes going on and a bad easter is not going to be offset by one bank holiday weekend. but this month is unusual. it has two bank holidays, a tour de yorkshire, champions league and fa cup finals and the small matter of a royal wedding. so retailers will want to make a lot of hay, or perhaps dough, while the sun is shining. let's find out how the weather is looking. here's phil. just time to

update you, we will extend all of the to the coming week. a glorious end to the day in most parts of the british isles after a very a cce pta ble british isles after a very acceptable sunday. one or two exceptions. and about the irish sea coast, some of the mist and fog has been quite stubborn. it has not been wall—to—wall by any means, away towards the north—western corner of scotland, you are a bit closer to a weather front. has been scotland, you are a bit closer to a weatherfront. has been a bit of scotland, you are a bit closer to a weather front. has been a bit of a nuisance, the mist and the fog still lingers through the course of the evening and overnight open about some of the irish sea coasts, but elsewhere it is a pretty quiet night, not a cold one, though where the skies are clear, you may look at three or 4 degrees in the countryside. here we are off and running, bank holiday monday, a bit ofa running, bank holiday monday, a bit of a rerun if the truth were known, of a rerun if the truth were known, of saturday and sunday. a lot of

fine and dry weather in many inland areas, still have the mist and murk around about some of these coasts, different still close by to the north and west of scotland, but even here in places there will be some dry weather with a bit of brightness, a bit cool on the eastern coast, but just brightness, a bit cool on the eastern coast, butjust come inland, 24 eastern coast, butjust come inland, 2a in norwich, london could get up to around 27 degrees or so. things change as we get to tuesday across central and western parts of the british isles, who we have a set of fronts coming in from the atlantic, the odd moderate burst of rain ahead of them, there are still some heat to be had, 25, 26 as you see, but cooler, fresher conditions tried to come in from the atlantic, and we will complete the transition from the heat of the holiday weekend for some into something slightly fresher, not colder, as we move out of tuesday on into wednesday. eventually that banner of cloud moves away from the eastern shores, and we are left with another dry data across these is to an area is forced up as i say, slightly

tempered those temperatures. add towards the west, no disguising the fa ct we towards the west, no disguising the fact we have a new set of weather fronts, proud and win and rain, temperatures closer to 11, 12, 13, rather than 20 anything at all. the forthcoming week, a bit cooler. the bulk of the rain across western parts of the british isles, the driest to be found in the south—east. there are fresh divisions for conservatives, as a minister insists a new customs partnership with the eu is still being considered. but leading brexiteers dismissed the proposal, saying it effectively keeps britain in the european union. some of football's biggest names show their support for sir alex ferguson, who is recovering from a brain haemorrhage. a teenage boy has died in south london from gunshot wounds, taking the number of murders in the capital this year to more than 60. cardiff are back in the premier league! and jubilant scenes at cardiff city as they win promotion back to the top tier of british football. good afternoon and welcome to bbc

news. the business secretary greg clark has confirmed that a so—called customs partnership with brussels after brexit is still on the table. it could mean britain collecting ta riffs it could mean britain collecting tariffs on behalf of the eu on all goods arriving in the uk that are destined for europe. he says any new deal must minimise friction, allow free trade agreements with other countries, and avoid a hard border with ireland. but the proposal is fiercely opposed by leading brexiteers, who say it effectively means the uk will remain in the european union. not so, said the business secretary

today. he came out arguing for a close customs deal with the eu, saying thousands of jobs close customs deal with the eu, saying thousands ofjobs depended on it. you can compare markets, but actually to have in mind the future jobs but also the very important jobs but also the very important jobs of people today. and perhaps taking vengeance with brexit backing tories further, he said arrangements could take longer than planned. whichever option is chosen, it will ta ke whichever option is chosen, it will take some time to have them put in place and available. so what are the choices? one option, a customs partnership, would mean on behalf of brussels, the uk collect tariffs on goods coming into britain that are destined for the eu. the second, a highly streamlined arrangement, would aim at an eye ‘s checks on trade at the irish border using technology and other schemes. that's

what brexiteers favour, claiming those who think it won't work are just scaremongering. this project has been so thoroughly discredited you would think it had come to an end right now. we trade successfully all over the world. the delays on goods coming into southampton are tiny, and we will have control of goods coming into this country. that prompted tough talk from fellow tories. i'm sorry, i don't think these are little locks, don't think they represent the best interest of british business, therefore the economy and the people of our country, and theresa may needs to sort them out and see them. the problem for the prime minister is, whichever way she turns, she is likely to upset somebody. the ten has officials working on the options but this complex customs conundrum would be so easily solved with such deep divisions in her party. meanwhile, labour is convinced it can pile on the pressure by winning support for its customs plan. quite a lot of the conservatives will follow us on this, we remain within

the customs union during the transition period, we want to negotiate a customs union, that will solve the northern ireland problem, on the border, and it will get as the tariff free trade we want. overcoming barriers here is one thing. then the prime minister must convince brussels of her plan, and that the crucial meeting of eu leaders in june, that the crucial meeting of eu leaders injune, the clock is ticking. some of the biggest names in football have been sending messages of support to sir alex ferguson, who is in intensive care recovering after suffering a brain haemorrhage. he underwent emergency surgery yesterday. last seen in public looking fit and well a week ago, news of sir alex ferguson's illness has shocked the football world. among the many messages of support, david beckham said: keep fighting, boss. sending prayers and love to cathy and the whole family. another ex—manchester united star,

cristiano ronaldo, wrote... everyone at match of the day sends our best wishes to sir alex ferguson. the flood of good wishes, unrelenting. he is one of the most iconic figures in football in the last 30 years. if you add that to the fact that he is such an important role model for so many people around the world, he has captured the world, and he is a national institution, really, so i'm not surprised at all at the outpouring of support for him. he was admitted to solve the royal hospital yesterday and had emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage. the procedure is said to have gone well, but a period of intensive care will follow. the focus will be on when he starts to regain consciousness. his neurological state will be assessed repeatedly, and he will be only transitioned to an area of care which requires less support when he is starting to regain his independence and he is stable.

at old trafford, supporters spoke of their admiration for sir alex. he's a legend, and he has been for the whole club. even though he isn't running the club now, i think a lot of people will feel this. i was so sad to hear about sir alex, i have been a fan for many years. i am a leeds supporter but i respect sir alex and what he has done for football, the greatest football manager of all—time. this is where sir alex ferguson is revealed the most. a stand is named after him and a statue celebrates him. leading the club to an astonishing 38 trophies in 26 years, an all—time great at home and abroad, renowned for his tenacity and fighting spirit. but now he faces a very different kind of test. the mother of a 17—year—old, shot

out the shoppers and part—time gardeners. and what will they be buying? we have just moved we havejust moved back we have just moved back from living abroad for 20 years. we have a garden that needs reinvigorating and some new plants. this is an opportunity, on a daylight this, you are outside, but you are also doing something. and what will they be buying? why, busy lizzie plants, of course. they disappeared six years ago but are back this weekend and expected to fly off the shelves. who knew? i don't think one long bank holiday weekend with nice weather is going to make up for all the problems that are taking place in the retail sector. it will go some way and will be a good weekend, but it is not going to change the structural changes going on and a bad easter is not going to be offset by one bank holiday weekend. but this month is unusual.

it has two bank holidays, a tour de yorkshire, champions league and fa cup finals and the small matter of a royal wedding. they won't be repeated any time soon. with the weather considerably drier and warmer than it was on the last bank holiday weekend in easter, retailers will certainly be hoping to make a when the sunshine is, even if that means selling products that as consumers might not ordinarily consider. photographs of prince louis's thursdays at home have been released by his parents. here he is receiving a big kiss from his big sister, princess charlotte. the newest member of the royal family was photographed by their mother, kate, when he was just three days old. with all the sport, katherine downes at the bbc sport centre. good afternoon, manchester city have been crowned champions —— have been

reopen the largest victorian glasshouse, the temperate house, at kew gardens, sir david said plastic isa kew gardens, sir david said plastic is a major danger to the planet. we can never go far enough, because we should also be overwhelmed with plastic. but at the moment we are using plastic in a completely functional sway. it baffles me. people sent me letters, and then they put them in a plastic envelope, and then put that in another envelope. why? i can't understand. i meani envelope. why? i can't understand. i mean i make it look precious or something, but it is quite functional as, and we use plastic or have done until now with total abandon, without any care or concern about where it is going to go or what it might do. and 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 problem is of course is that plastic is not just plastic, there are lots of different kinds of plastic, chemically. so what works for one kind of plastic is not a reworking for another. those are the problems they are wrestling over the moment. was it a conscious decision in the programme to highlight the pollution of plastic? well, it was certainly pa rt of plastic? well, it was certainly part of, in the mind of the producers, that it would be a sequence. but i have been saying that, and we have been making programmes about that sort of thing for decades. i mean, i have 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 has certainly had a huge effect. finally, you recently made a television programme when you are in conversation with the queen. you talk about her legacy, the commonwealth canopy tree project was. what would you like of your own legacy? i don't think i was. what would you like of your own legacy? i don't think! deserve... i have been unbelievably lucky for the past 60 years or something to make natural history programmes, and with a lot of other people as well, cameramen, recordists and so on, and we worked together in the natural history unit and produced a great corpus of staff. i would like to think that there would not be any pitch which you could not do it again, and 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 a brontosaurus comes thundering through these newly planted palm trees. laughter sir david attenborough, many thanks indeed. let's go before the pterodactyls,! vicky ford joining me, time we updated you wonder whether prospects, for the rest of the british isles. it will look as good as that for the rest of sunday for many of you, a glorious evening in prospect, saved perhaps around about the coasts, where we may have some mist and low cloud, round about the irish sea coast, a bit of an onshore breeze, and we will do it all again on monday. still that low cloud in some locations around about the irish sea. still a front close by the north and west of scotland. if you have not had a mentioned so far, save for an onshore breeze, inland
