there had been concern that the value of the rockefeller paintings might depress the rest of the spring auction market. but the sale seems to have increased demand. the big question this season in terms of business was will collectors confide us with works, given that there was already rockefeller, and actually they did. and a lot of collectors wanted to be part of this tide lifting all boats. and that's why i think, partly why we have one of the most of the most incredible sales. at $102 million. selling. the top lot for the night was a 1905 picasso, owned by the rockefeller family for 50 years. there are still two more days of auction to go and experts predict the total raised from the sale of the rockefeller collection could easily top half a billion dollars. lizo mzimba, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's phil avery.

as ever i leave it to our weather watchers to paint the picture. generally to the north and west of the british isles we have quite an active weather system. a pretty dusty afternoon across the north west corner of scotland and as those fronts west corner of scotland and as those fro nts m ove west corner of scotland and as those fronts move across the british isles we say goodbye to the last of that bank holiday heat. this is how it shapes up for the rest of the afternoon, cloud and rain already across northern and western parts. ahead of that up to 21 degrees perhaps but closer to 12, 15 degrees in amidst all that rain. quite disappointing. this is the detailed model getting on towards early

evening. the rain out in the western isles and northern ireland but of late brightness. but if you're anywhere near the weather front some moderate breasts of rain and eventually it moves into the eastern side of the country and the best sunshine on into the evening to be found through the east midlands and the south—east. here we do not have rain on towards small hours of thursday. clearer skies following on behind. a little bit fresher overnight then recent nights. there itself, the southern part of the uk under the influence of high—pressure which is settling things down. across scotland and northern ireland you will see the chance of passing shower but not by any means a right. the best of the weather across england and wales and those temperatures certainly much closer to the seasonal average. here is

friday, we do the all again pushing in another set of weather in france into the western side of the british isles. the best of the weather across the eastern side of the pennines, east anglia and the south east. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. have a good afternoon. good afternoon i'm holly hamilton. andy murray's long—awaited return to tennis has again run into difficulty. the two—time wimbledon champion has been stuggling with a hip injury that has kept him from playing competitively since last summer. he's not thought to have done very much at all on court over the past two weeks. there are now serious concerns he may miss the start of the grass—court season. he's been away from the court for a very long time, and it's looking

like it is going to be virtually a year at least, and that would be a concern for any player. when you are as good as murray is, maybe you can ta ke as good as murray is, maybe you can take that in his stride. all along, he has that i am not good to rush back. i tried to return to early and i wasn't ready. i am not talking about a particular tournament, yes it would be great to be on the grass, it is not about queens or wimbledon, it is about being back and being 100% fit. meanwhile kyle edmund is in action this lunchtime — he's on court for the second round of the madrid open where he's facing former world number one novak djokovic. a win for edmund would mean he could enter the top 20 in the world rankings — he's currently leading the first set 3 games to 2 — and you can follow all the action and he has just and he hasjust taken and he has just taken the and he hasjust taken the next and he has just taken the next game, and it is for— two in that set. meanwhile — just five days after serena williams opted out of the madrid open,

she's now withdrawn from this month's italian open. the 23—time grand slam champion said she needed more time to prepare for her first clay season since giving birth in september. her decision puts in doubt her participation at the french open which starts on the 27th of may. the 36—year—old hasn't played a match on clay since reaching the final at roland garros in 2016. tiger woods has confirmed he will take part in this year's open championship at carnoustie — the twentieth open appearance for the three time champion. it's two years since the former world number one has appeared in golf‘s oldest major championship — he won the claretjug three times but has missed the competition since 2015 due to injury. however, the 14—time major winner has made a successful return to action after undergoing spinal fusion surgery last april. following west brom's relegation yesterday, huddersfield will be hoping they don'tjoin the baggies and stoke in the championship for next season. theyjust need one point from their last two games — it won't be easy though, they face arsenal on the final day

of the season on sunday. and tonight they travel to chelsea, who themselves are looking for a top fourfinish. this is anything but easy, but we have said that this more often, now. we will try it, fight for it and work for it. we try to make something like... what looks like an impossible task, we will work to make some big possible, and first and foremost, we have got to be focused on our performance, and that we reach our level, our highest level, and maybe we get this result, and we work for it, maybe not, we will see. i think we are doing ourjob in the best way, to put a bit of pressure oi'i best way, to put a bit of pressure on liverpool. but the show... as universally well, the situation, is

not in our hands. —— as you know very well, the situation is not in oui’ very well, the situation is not in our hands. i am totally focused on the present day, to finish the season in the best possible way. also, because i think, ourfans deserve this. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bb.co.uk/sport. let's return to our main story. european leaders are fighting to salvage the iran nuclear deal after president trump's decision to pull out of it. here, the foreign secretary, borisjohnson has told the house of commons that britain will continue to honour the deal and said the world should hold president donald trump to his stated aim of finding a new solution to the iranian nuclear threat. britain has no intention of walking away. instead, we will cooperate with the other parties, to ensure that while iran continues

to restrict its nuclear programme, its people will benefit from sanctions relief in accordance with the central bargain of the deal. i cannot yet go into detail on the steps we propose to take, but i hope to make them available as soon as possible. i spoke, yesterday, to my french and german counterparts. in his statement onjanuary 12th, president trump highlighted important limitations of the jcpoa, including the fact that some constraints on iran's nuclear capacity expire in 2025. britain worked alongside france and germany to find a way forward that would have addressed the president's concerns, and allowed the us to stay in thejcpoa, without reopening the terms of the agreement. i still believe that would have been the better course.

now that our efforts on this side of the atlantic have not succeeded, it falls to the us administration to spell out their view of the way ahead. in the meantime, i urge the us to avoid taking any action that would hinder other parties from continuing to make the agreement work in the interest of our collective national security. i urge iran to respond to the us decision with restraint and to continue to observe its commitments under the jcpoa. we have always been at one with the united states. in our profound concern over a run‘s missile tests, iran's missile tests, and iran's destructive role in the middle east, particularly in yemen and syria. the uk has acted to counter iran's to destabilising

behaviour in the region, and we will continue to do so. we remain adamant that a nuclear armed iran which never be acceptable to the united kingdom. indeed, iran's obligation not to seek, development or acquire nuclear weapons appears without any time limit on the first page of the preamble to thejcpoa. yesterday, president trump promised to work with our allies to find to the iranian nuclear threat. i have no difficulty whatsoever with that goal. the question is how does the us propose to achieve it? now that the trump administration has left the jcpoa, the responsibility falls on them to show how washington will find a new negotiated solution to our shared concerns, a settlement that must

necessarily include iran, as well as countries in the region. labour's shadow foreign secretary emily thornberry told the commons that the united states "risked triggering a nuclear arms race in the middle east" : come a time to debate whether the government's approach to donald trump into dozens 16 has been the right one, but today is not the time. and today, i believe the whole house and the whole world should stand united today in condemning donald trump for his reckless, senseless and immoral act of diplomatic sabotage that he has committed. every independent inspection has confirmed, even the us defence secretary admitted last night month that the nuclear deal is working, and iran is complying with it in film. and yes, there are other important matters that must be addressed, its regional activities, its ballistic missile programme, and its ballistic missile programme, and its record on human rights, but the platform for that dialogue, the foundation on which future

arrangements could be reached,... by seeking to scupper the nuclear deal, he has destroyed the platform for future progress, and risked triggering an armed race in the middle east, and pushing iran back into isolation. he has taken all of those risks without a single car, and without the simplest rational thought as to what will come next. in doing so, he is also sending a message to north korea, that it any agreement they reach with the us will be worthless. and while we can talk all day about the recklessness and the idiocy of what's donald trump has done, the key question is this, how should the world reacts? here, i believe there are three challenges. firstly, is the challenges. firstly, is the challenge for those other signatories of how best to preserve the deal. the britain, france, germany, china and russia, this

means putting urgent, igga' ,. ~ and banks in our countries engaged in and and banks in our countries engaged in - and financial transactions in trade and financial transactions with teheran is they can continue doing so, and for iran, they must have the patience and resolve not to respond in kind to this act of belligerence. but continue working with the other signatories, to try and keep this deal alive. the second challenge, is equally serious. but which, is how to stop the descent into conflict. they run is a country nine times the size of syria. with a population as big as germany's. the idea of a run racing to develop a nuclear weapons and the us '5 ministrations seeking to stop them through military means does not bear thinking about. that was emily thornberry, shadow foreign secretary in the commons a little bit earlier on. it's when you up to the situation in north korea. the us secretary of state has been there.

just paving the way for the summit between kim jong—un and president come. but we are also hearing, now, that he has secured the release of those three detained americans, and president trump has just been tweeting to therefore for that forthcoming summit between kim jong—un and donald trump to discuss nuclear disarmament on the korean peninsular. but, donald trump fair, just confirming that the north koreans have released those three us citizens, and he has also treated to say that he will be there to greet

the secretary of state, and those three americans when they land at andrew's air force base at two o'clock in the morning. south korea has reacted to the release of the three ust trainees saying that it will have a positive effect on the forthcoming job summit. 10 years ago todayjimmy mizen was celebrating his 16th birthday. but the next day he was killed in a savage, unprovoked attack near his south london home. since then his family has campaigned tirelessly, in jimmy's name, trying to bring an end to the violence that's blighting the lives of so many young people and their families. john maguire reports. he was just a beautiful boy with a heart of gold, always smiling. just a gift to us and sadly we miss him very much. jimmy mizen was murdered in an unprovoked attack near his home.

belies his family have change forever. through the charity set up in jimmy's memory, his parents now spend most of their time talking to young people about the consequences of violence. today they're at a safety conference at a south london school, where local primary children are sharing concerns they have about their neighbourhood. this is where we thought, "i'm safe," and they did it up, they put some blue lights in there, but we think they could make it more safe by putting in some cctv cameras. on the estates people take drugs, they smoke there, they take drugs and they spill the drugs on the floor for us to slip on, so we have to be careful. the children are able to talk to the police, to the local council and to community leaders. my belief that if we can go into schools and talk to year 4, year5, year 6, it's a hard story for them to listen to but if you share it in the right way it doesn't frighten them and i believe from there they will take it on to their secondary

schools. this whole message of change, this whole message of peace. but they accept despite their best efforts, violence on the streets is a major problem. things have been changing in the last ten years, if anything now they're worse than they were ten years ago. so clearly the ways we're treating this aren't working and having an impact. if we can change the thinking, ever—harsher punishment will not change what's going on here, threaten all you like, it won't change it. i think the idea of lecturing young people about their behaviour will not work either. this is about trying to bring younger people along with us, but also the community itself. the charity's also pioneering these safe havens in shops and businesses, where people feeling threatened on the street can seek refuge and help. the shopkeeper promises to phone the parents or the police and they close the doors. itjust means... it's like building community, our communities are falling apart so we're rebuilding community and making safe places for our young people in trouble. and terry corne, who seems to sell everything in his store, offers one extremely valuable service.

there were two young girls, i suppose about 15 or 17, there was a strange man on the streets that kept harrassing them, and then he stood outside for about half an hour and i had to call the police because he wouldn't leave the shop until they come out and then the police dealt with it. apiniya has used one. someone behind us was, like, creeping up on us so we went into a shop with a safe haven sticker on it and after we felt safe, we went out of the shop and we went home. the family's hope is to roll out these safe havens across the uk injimmy‘s name so his death will not have been in vain. john maguire, bbc news, south london. the day after borisjohnson said theresa may's proposals for a customs partnership with the eu were "crazy" — labour have accused the government of being in a "shambles" over its position on a future eu trade deal. our assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster.

this came up in prime minister questions, 30 say that we did not get a lots of detailed answers from the prime minister on her preferences the future customs arrangements with europe. no, but what i can update you on is the borisjohnson what i can update you on is the boris johnson crazy stakes. in what i can update you on is the borisjohnson crazy stakes. in the last half an hour, borisjohnson has said he thinks he is clipped compliance with government policy, because government policy has not been decided. that probably explains why we did not get many answers from theresa may when she was pressed about her preferences. how can they negotiate in the future interest of people's jobs and living standards when cabinet members are more interested in putting their own futures first? fundamentally, mr deputy speaker, how can this governments negotiate a good dealfor britain, to defend people's jobs and living

standards when they are unable to reach an agreement within themselves. there were two objects within my pension house speech. -- xxx —— xxx mansion house speech. questions have been raised against both of those options, and the work continues, but if i may say this to the right honourable gentleman, he has spent an entire career of posing a customs union. -- opposing a customs union. now, when the british people want to come out, he wants to stay in. i know he is leader of the opposition, but that is going a bit far. let them all over all things to do with brexit. let me start with you, douglas, we really didn't get any clarity from mrs may, and the reason for that is you cannot say anything, because so tense the divisions are within your party, that anything she

says of substance is going to incense one wing or another wing.|j says of substance is going to incer it one wing or another wing.|j says of substance is going to incer it is 1e wing or another wing.|j says of substance is going to incer it is that ng or another wing.|j says of substance is going to incer it is that she ranother wing.|j says of substance is going to incer it is that she made her wing.|j says of substance is going to incer it is that she made iter wing.|j says of substance is going to incer it is that she made it very |g.|j think it is that she made it very clear that she had laid out her proposed route at the mansion house speech, but she also highlighted the glaring inconsistencies in the labour party, not justjeremy corbyn‘s number of different positions, but he has of late... that is a get out from answering the question. you were asking about what was said at the prime minister questions today. i think she was right to highlight the inconsistencies with the labour position. what we want to get out of this whole barrio is to respect the democratic will of those who voted to leave the european union, but to do so ina to leave the european union, but to do so in a way that protects everything... from a scottish perspective, what is your favourite position on a customs union, do you have a particular preference? what we have said, and i think the prime minister is right to do that, as

well, is to look at all of the options. no point rushing into this and getting it wrong. i think she is right to go back and look at these two options. kirsty, the thing that we have learned from theresa may is yes she takes time and yes it may be slow and it may be painful, but in the end, she does manage to get some sort of deal. we saw it with the divorce bill, the withdrawal agreement and the transitional agreement, so probably, in time, she will pull off simon acceptable deal it that you can take to europelj don't it that you can take to europe” don't think there is anything on the horizon. the issue is, should we remain in the customs union of the single market. she has been so unclear it is unbelievable. businesses are saying she needs —— they need to know now what customers will look like after uk acts as the eu. all she says is i will refer you back to the mansion house speech. it is not enough businesses. because of

all the division, she cannot come down on either side right now, what she should say that we do want frictionless therefore we will remain in the customs union. there has got to be further work done... let civil servants have a go at you, she is listing but i did take on board people's and sad. the only concern is that she is taking on board are those of the rivalling factions within heron party. you had her foreign secretary describing her plans as crazy. it is like a unicorn is also being used to describe it, where they want their cake and eat it. what we would need from the prime minister is a decisive option about how the hell they are ever going to work out the northern ireland issue, businesses, has ki rsty ireland issue, businesses, has kirsty has said are already having plans to be moving out of exporting and importing, this is dangerous territory. and it is not clear. so yes, she has got until march, and we

we re yes, she has got until march, and we were meant to have these decisions in front of us they're smart, now it won't be till autumn. she cannot answer the question when it is, and the country deserves and needs to know. do you think we should cut boris slack, this is what he does when he says government options are crazy, 01’ when he says government options are crazy, or should he be sacked for disloyalty? i think the prime minister has made it clear on a number of occasions that no one is above the law in terms of the cabinet, and if they overstepped the mark in action would be taken. i think it is interesting that the two opposition politicians, here, do not wa nt opposition politicians, here, do not want the prime minister to take time to get all in available information and listen to all views, to get the right decision. i think a major decision like this, jess said she is not listening to the labour view. i do not know of the labour view is, today. what are the labour views on this? that we have got to stay in a customs union. what about the single

market? i personally would like to stay in the single market. theresa may can call me and asked me if she likes? it is a moving feast, the labour party, and you can laugh, but, in moving feast is about listening. what we have in the tory party as people threatening the prime minister with her veryjob, because of their own egos, because of their own desire to have jobs. it is their dereliction of duty on the country of what is going on in the tory party, at the moment, and no one being above the law of cabinet isa laugh, one being above the law of cabinet is a laugh, and he is totally above it, because yours too much power above her position. kirsty blackman, but how do you respond to those who say that that would be the worst of all options, because ruth still be paying money into the eu, but no say? economic, the most important thing for our country's economy, the reason she should stay in the

customs union and single market is because those that would be the best things that everybody, even if we have got to leave the eu, and therefore less say overall, nonetheless, still economic and better. the fact that there are loads of backbenchers holding her up oi'i loads of backbenchers holding her up on this and making sure that she makes economic and wrong decisions is ridiculous. there is a majority and it has remaining in the customs union, and you should respect the will of parliament. thank you very much boil time. we are running out of time. we had labour lindsay hoyle. i think a lot of people liked his less fussy approach 2pm tupou. —— to pmqs. hello, once again, let's update you on how we are seeing the weather for the whole of the british isles. it is hardly the case that the storm that are gathering out

towards northern and western parts of the british isles, but it is certainly much cloudier than stamp of the sandown will be the case throughout the rest of the day up across parts of the dagger and these at least. the reason for the transformation it, quite obvious on the big picture. pradeep area of low pressure that of iceland, throwing a rabbit runs —— weather fronts at us from the atlantic. as they pass through, so will be the transition from the heat of the bank holiday into something a little bit more seasonal, that is. as a get through the rest of the day. let's give you the rest of the day. let's give you the details analysis of how easy the rain, ataround the details analysis of how easy the rain, at around roundabout tea—time, early evening. the rain will have got through the western side of scotland, and the rest of northern ireland. but the knowledge season late sunshine, but anywhere near this diagonal of card and rain, the saturn will be in short supply. for that, you need to be further east. lincolnshire way, coming down towards parts of east and. eventually, what is left of that

rain on the weather front, will arrive on the small hours of thursday. falling behind, clearer skies, not a cold night by any means, but temperatures will be well down into single figures. as we move into thursday, it just down into single figures. as we move into thursday, itjust begin to see a little bit of a range of high pressure, certainly dominating the bottom two thirds of the british isles, further north, i would have thought there was a chance, where the isobars archiving other way, just to keep things that little more u nsettled. just to keep things that little more unsettled. a better chance of a shower, perhaps, in northern ireland. a darting into scotland, even here, some areas will stage i. and then you see the temperature profile, much closer to what we would expect the time of year, 11-17. would expect the time of year, 11—17. having got rid of one set of weather fronts, here we are on friday, another set of france, with cloud and wind and rain pushing in eventually to the lessons of scotland, western england and through wales and northern ireland. some of its quite heavy. these and pa rt some of its quite heavy. these and part of the british isles that dry again. ‘s weekend, showers into the

far south—west, and then that frontal including a smuggling ring across northern and eastern parts of britain. hello, you're watching afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. today at 2.00pm: anger in tehran — the american flag is burned in the iranian parliament after donald trump pulls out of the nuclear deal. here, the prime minister says the agreement is good for peace. we continue to believe that the iran nuclear deal was an important step forward in helping to keep the world safe and as i say, there are other issues that need to be worked on, and both i and the foreign secretary will be continuing to work on those

with our european and other allies. bmw recall 300,000 cars after a bbc investigation over fears that some cars could cut out completely while they are being driven. mps accuse the government of "failing a generation" with their strategy on child mental health services. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport. worries over andy murray at wimbledon? big concerns
