following reports of a stabbing. once there, london ambulance services attended a man in his 20s suffering from a stab injury. we understand he has been taken to a hospital in central london, and we have no further details regards to his injuries. the area is very popular with tourists and londoners, full of restaurants popular with tourists and londoners, full of restau ra nts a nd popular with tourists and londoners, full of restaurants and cultures, a very cultural area of london. more as we get it right here on bbc news. back to our top story today. tributes have been paid to tessa jowell, the veteran labour cabinet minister and peer, who has died after spending her final months campaigning for better treatments for brain cancer. she was 70, and was diagnosed with a brain tumour a year ago. today, she was remembered for a long career in public service, including setting up sure start children's centres and helping to bring the olympics to london. nick robinson, who interviewed her during her illness,

looks back on her life. tessa jowell knew she had just weeks to live when she launched one less campaign should improve cancer care for all. i am not afraid. i feel very clear about my sense of purpose and what i want to do. and how do i know how long it will last? baroness tessa jowell. know how long it will last? baroness tessa jowell. a public servant to the very last, dame tessa stood before a packed tearful house of lords, about how those with tumours like hers could be treated so much better. i hope that this debate will give hope to other cancer patients like me. her friend and ally, tony blair, tessa, as she was referred to by most people in politics, was

popular even with those who didn't much like her boss. her impact in politics was enormous. everything she touched, she turned to gold in some way, whether it was advancing equal pay for women, stopping sure surges to the immense programme for children and our... and bringing the olympics to britain and the spring. she did everything but the same passion, determination and charm. the games for the olympics in 2012, goes to london. when london won the contest to host the purse —— games, it was a personal victory for the woman who championed the bid from the very start. i am tessa jowell, olympic minister. she oversaw the often troubled preparations for the games, laying the foundations for a moment that brought the country together. without her, i don't think

we would have stood a chance of winning the games, nor delivering the games when they were, because she demanded everything. even when very sick, tessa jowell never sought sympathy. she demand change, change to allow cancer patients to switch from one trial to the next rather than waiting months, months day and she didn't have. people listening to you think, why don't you curl up on the sofa and be with her family and friends? be with herfriends? absolutely impossible. and i have so much love in my family, my children, my close friends... brave and inspiring, her words used for those whose lives cut short by cancer. there are not nearly enough to describe tessa jowell. there are not nearly enough to describe tessa jowell. in the end, what gives a life meaning is not only how it is lived, but how it

draws to a close. applause remembering dame tessa jowell, who has died at the age of 70. two britons who were held hostage in the democratic republic of congo have been released unharmed. the pair were taken hostage in virunga national park in the east of the country on friday. the park's director says both britons and their congolese driver are now safe, and are receiving support and medical attention. the 25—year—old ranger, rachel masika baraka, died from her injuries after the incident. the park authorities said she was "highly committed showing true bravery in her work". our africa reporter louise dewast gave us this update from the country's capital, kinshasa. foreign secretary borisjohnson thanked authorities and park rangers for working with them to resolve this incident and they did pay tribute to the ranger,

one of the rangers that was killed in the attack on friday, and the driver that accompanied the british tourists, who was injured as well in the attack. that is the information we have right now, and the ambassador in the drc also announced this on social media just a few seconds ago. we just missed the first part of your answer there, i willjust very quickly ask, do we know the identities of the two britons? we do not know the identity of the two british tourists yet. we do know that the ranger that was killed, the congolese ranger, was rachel masika ba ra ka, but we do not have a name for the british nationals. was there a ransom paid? we do not know, ransoms are frequent in kidnappings in this part

of the world and in this country and this part of the country. we do not know, we have no confirmation yet on whether or not a ransom was paid in this case. that was louise dewast in kinsasha. the varuna park director has been speaking to the bbc and confirmed that the park officials themselves have been involved in negotiating the release, and confirming they did not pay a ransom, and has also confirmed to the bbc that all tourism activities in the national park have been suspended indefinitely. theresa may says people who voted to leave the eu will get the brexit they wanted, but that compromises will be needed on all sides.

while the prime minister has reaffirmed her commitment to leaving the customs union, one of her senior ministers said today he had doubts about one of the alternatives she favours, a customs partnership. our political correspondent chris mason reports. once again, with her cabinet divided, the prime minister is defending her approach to brexit, telling voters and her mps in a sunday times article, you can trust me to deliver, adding on the most difficult issue, we will leave the customs union. but acknowledging in the overall settlement, there will have to be compromises. the prime minister has laid out a very clear flight minister has laid out a very clear flight path for us. microcode, who campaigned for brexit, sounding very diplomatic today caught. but hang on a minute, while he wasn't quite as colourful as boris johnson, a minute, while he wasn't quite as colourful as borisjohnson, who described the option of a customs partnership union with the eu as crazy, he said it was flawed. boris

pointed out that because it's novel, because no bottle like this exists, there have been significant question marks over the deliverability of it on time. more than that, what the new cousins partnership requires the british government to do is in effect to act as the cap —— tax collector, and the delivery of regulation for the european union. the reason these technical arrangements matter is because all sides want to avoid the introduction of customs checks here at the border between northern ireland and the republic. to achieve this, option one is the so—called customs partnership. accustomed to is to rely on technology, while plenty of —— in the cabinet don't like the first idea, the irish government doesn't like the second. we just simply think it won't work. the only way we can find a solution here that means that we have a fully seamless border with no physical infrastructure or related checks and controls is to maintain alignment in terms of rules and regulations on

both sides of the border. labour is divided as well over how to approach brexit, but is committed to staying ina brexit, but is committed to staying in a customs union. it says the government's approach is shambles. we are in a farcical situation at the moment. nearly two years after the moment. nearly two years after the referendum, the cabinet is fighting over to customs options, neither of which frankly are workable, neither of which are a cce pta ble workable, neither of which are acceptable to the eu. and if either of which were put to the vote in parliament, they wouldn't carry majority. the prime minister will discuss brexit with her most senior ministers on tuesday, as she tries to find a solution for her cabinet, parliament, and the eu can accept. chris mason, bbc new, at westminster. —— bbc news. police in paris say a 21—year—old man who was shot dead after killing one person and injured several others in a knife attack last night was on a list of people thought to be a threat to national security. so—called islamic state has claimed responsibility for the attack, police say the man is a french citizen born in chechnya.

on the eve of the united states' move of its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem, israel's leader, benjamin neta nyahu has called on other nations to do the same thing. he was addressing foreign dignitaries who've gathered injerusalem to attend monday's opening of the new american embassy. palestinians bitterly oppose the move ordered by president trump. at least 13 people have been killed and more than a0 injured in bomb attacks on churches in indonesia. police say the attacks were carried out by six members of the same family, including four children, who blew themselves up at the three sites in the city of surabaya. our correspondent jonathan head reports. blazing motorbikes marks the site of one of the three attacks. all suicide bombers say the indonesian

police, and all from the same family, including a motherand police, and all from the same family, including a mother and two daughters aged 9—12. a known islamic state media outlet has claimed the attack was on part of one of its loyalists. police claimed the family had loyalists. police claimed the family ha d rece ntly loyalists. police claimed the family had recently returned from fighting is in syria. they called for indonesians to fight the scourge of extremism. translation: this morning, we have ordered the police track down networks of the perpetrators at source. we will not tolerate this kind of cowardice. i am calling on eve ryo ne kind of cowardice. i am calling on everyone to fight terrorism, which is against the values of all religions, and our national values asa religions, and our national values as a nation. indonesia is the world's most populous muslim nation. tracking and containing a dangerous radical fringe tracking and containing a dangerous radicalfringe has been a challenge for its security forces for the past two decades. they have had many su ccesses . two decades. they have had many successes. but this attack by a

single family is a reminder that with hundreds of indonesians returning from the war in syria, the threat is still very real. jonathan had, bbc news. dozens of rough sleepers from eu countries are to receive thousands of pounds in compensation after being illegally detained and deported. figures obtained by the bbc reveal that in the 12 months to may last year, almost 700 people were targeted, despite some of them being able to prove that they were working. jon ironmonger has more. tomas lusas is from lithuania. for nine years, he has been living, working and paying taxes in england, but a low point in 2016 found him on the streets in west london. basically i was sleeping here... he was woken one morning by immigration officers, and quickly bundled into a van to be deported. it is really hard to stand up after that, you know, because all of those handcuffs, all of this immigration thing, all of those officers who don't

even want to help you, chat with you. tomas was detained for 19 days under a home office policy that the high court ruled in december was illegal and discriminatory. what was life like in a detention centre for you? jail. you don't know the end of the sentence. i didn't know i was going to spend 19 days. he was later awarded £10,000 in damages, but others like him are now entitled to a pay—out. law firms tell us that the home office is in the process of settling at least 45 such claims. the true number is likely to be higher. figures obtained by the bbc reveal that, in the year to may 2017, nearly 700 homeless eea nationals were illegally detained and removed from the country. the home office introduced the policy of rough sleeping as an abuse of treaty rights two years ago, simultaneously cutting net migration and helping to curb a rise in homelessness. but rough sleepers were being targeted even if they were in work,

even if they had a permanent right of residence in the uk. eu law is very clear, and actually it is very robust. but what the policy was was a very flimsy attempt to misuse the law simply to meet immigration targets. the home office told us it had ceased all action on immigration status of eea citizens because of rough sleeping, and that claims for rough sleeping will be considered on a case—by—case basis. tomas, meanwhile, has a new place to stay, and a second chance to make his home in the uk. the headlines on bbc news. former labour cabinet minister dame tessa jowell has died at the age of 70. she was diagnosed with brain cancer last may. two british nationals who were kidnapped in the democratic republic of congo on friday have been released unharmed. police in indonesia say a couple and their four children carried out suicide bombings at three churches which killed at least 13 people and left dozens more wounded.

back to our top story, the death of dame back to our top story, the death of da m e tessa back to our top story, the death of dame tessa jowl. with is peterjohn, the labour leader of southwark council, whose friendship with dame tessa jowell dates back over 20 years. how do you remember her? as somebody who is incredibly warm. she had a great physical and mental warmth. shoot —— greeted and treated eve ryo ne shoot —— greeted and treated everyone exactly the same, from royalty to her constituents. . that's what made her so special, eve ryo ne that's what made her so special, everyone could tell she was absolutely genuine and authentic. she loved people and wanted to see them succeed, and that is what was so special about her. when was the last time you saw our work with her? i saw her a couple of months ago. she and her family and organise an

event at her home for her friends. it was a farewell event, but we didn't call it that. she was on fantastic and sparkling form. she was the one smiling the most and the most optimistic. again, that is something that was uniquely tessa, even this far into her illness. how reflective was she of her illness, how did she speak about it and what it had dumped life? she was somebody who did not want to be defined by it, but wanted to campaign to improve treatment for other people. she knew that this would not necessarily save her life, but she wa nted necessarily save her life, but she wanted to save other peoples lives instead. and i remember that final event, she was speaking and finding it really difficult to find the words that she wanted to say. and that was part of the disease, and her husband intervened, saying there have only been two times during this period were tessa has been down. the

first was when she was first diagnosed, and the other time when she turned to him and said, i'm just so sorry, i'm not going to be able to help other people in the future. and i don't think there was a dry eye in the room, apart from tessa, who was beaming and still optimistic. and that says everything about her. one of the things that have struck everybody today, learning more about dame tessa, is just how much good there was. many people see that the frontage of politics... do you have a memory of something about dame tessa that we as the public didn't know about? she had a really wicked sense of humour. she loved to laugh, that is the thing that was really infectious, she could joke and beep partisan. she was absolutely labour through and through, and it was that part which we didn't see so often, the ——

and that really wicked laugh and sense of humour. she lit up a room, she honestly did, and all the attributes being paid to her today underlined to demonstrate what a special human being she was. thank you so much for that. a businessman who grew—up in a council house and was the son of a joiner, has topped this year's sunday times rich list. sirjim ratcliffe is worth an estimated 21—billion pounds. he founded the chemical firm ineos which runs the grangemouth refinery near falkirk. he's the first british—born individual to top the list in 15 years. a little earlier, i spoke to our business correspondent joe lynam who gave us a little more insight into who sir jim ratcliffe is. he grew up in a council house in oldham and that he kind of transformed the chemical and refining business into a multi—billion pound operation in grangemouth in scotland. he is also a triathlete, even though he is in his 60s. he runs an ironman triathlon,

so he is pretty fit. he is one of the people behind the daily mile, which if you are a parent of young children, you will be aware of, the idea of getting your kids off their backsides and to run a mile in the school yard every single day, and he is passionately anti—european union and passionately pro—fracking. he also is redesigning and redeveloping the famous land rover defender, the iconic box shaped one from the 1960s and 1970s movies, redesigning it for the 21st century becausejlr, the owners of land rover, no longer want to produce the vehicle. interesting guy, continuing to do a lot of stuff and enjoying his wealth of 21 billion. very brave man, tampering with the defender, it has a very strong fan base. characteristic of this year's list is the old versus the new money. the sunday times rich list

are making a big deal of the fact that it is quite clear that most of the people in the list created their own wealth rather than inherited it, which might have been the case when the list was first devised 30 years ago. sojim ratcliffe is a classic case of that. number two on the list, the gupta brothers, also kind of self—made billionaires. number three, a ukrainian guy. you get the sense the people on the list live or have residences in the uk, they are not necessarily british, they may not be british for tax purposes either, but if they have a strong connection with the uk, they are on the top 1,000. very quickly, how does the diversity breakdown look? 8.6% is non—white ethnic minority. triple what it was 30 years ago but a small number. the highest—ranking woman on the list is the heineken heiress, in at sixth,

worth a mere £11 billion. stars of the small screen are getting ready to find out whether they have won one of this year's bafta tv awards. from blue planet two to line of duty, and from saturday night takeaway to the crown, the best in british television is being celebrated tonight at the royal festival hall in london. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba is on the red carpet. i'm here with vanessa kirby. what's it like being nominated for playing such a figure? more than anything, i feel so grateful and honoured. she was such an amazing person, i felt lucky to play someone that colourful and brilliant. so to have been nominated is mad, the other nominees are amusing. the whole crown family is here, we have the first read through for the news series today.

helena bonham carter texted me pictures of their read there, so it was like passing the torch to today. five years ago, netflix wasn't even eligible for a bafta. how big has the online streaming bang for the roles for you as an actress? armour we had dinner before filming, and peter morgan said this was an unknown quantity, dropping all episodes in one go. how quickly will people watch, if they even watch was back it was four days before the election in america, and i remember peter zhang, i don't think people wa nt peter zhang, i don't think people want to watch the show. it was an unknown platform, but i think it was amazing because you can watch whatever around the world. it's not like you have to go buy a cinema ticket, and i loved it, and the netflix guys are so nice and down to earth. even they didn't anticipate the expect —— success, so there

really cool with it. briefly and other event taking place next weekend, the marriage of harry and meghan markle, you are now by definition a royal expert. where will you be watching, won't you be watching? a lot of people keep asking me if i know how harry feels, i have no idea. i'm rehearsing a play just over i have no idea. i'm rehearsing a playjust over there at the national theatre, so i will not be able to watch the whole event, is the event even on tv? yes, there'll be quite a lot of see, don't worry.|j even on tv? yes, there'll be quite a lot of see, don't worry. i probably will with my housemates and my sister at home, have a little look, because i think about them now, and i feel really honoured that we have them in our country. meghan markle is cool as well. they do so much for yourtime, is cool as well. they do so much for your time, vanessa, best of luck at the ceremony tonight. we will be here for the rest of the red carpet, and we will have the winners later on in the evening. thank you. a picture of the queen's official consent for prince harry's marriage to meghan markle has been released.

the formal record is handwritten by one of the crown office's own artists, and signed "elizabeth r" by the queen. it will be presented to the couple after their wedding next weekend. the couple's wedding will include an address from a senior african american bishop. meghan markle herself is mixed race, her mother doria is african american, and her heritage has been the source of much comment even before the engagement. colleen harris has been exploring how some in britain's black community view her arrival in the royal family. two cultures read —— uniting the royal family two cultures read —— uniting the royalfamily in two cultures read —— uniting the royal family in modern two cultures read —— uniting the royalfamily in modern britain. this isa royalfamily in modern britain. this is a moment that captivated the world, and some corners of the internet. mock videos appeared online celebrating the news and meghan markle's heritage. i've come

to coventry, my home city, and the birthplace of 2—tone music, which promoted a black and white unite stands during the 80s. one of its leading faces was pawnee black from the selector. i'm certainly not a royalist. i think the monarchy is outmoded, outdated, and has colonial —— a colonial past. and here is a young black woman about to marry into the royal family. young black woman about to marry into the royalfamily. how young black woman about to marry into the royal family. how will she change it? i don't know, but i think she will probably be given fairly difficult —— a fairly difficult ride, and she might feel she's bitten off more than she could you, but i hope not. what is meghan's at resonate with some black britons? hesitance was the first african caribbean hair salon in coventry, and megan markel is a fascination here for the clients. it's nice to see the royal acceptance of black

heritage into the family. see the royal acceptance of black heritage into the familylj see the royal acceptance of black heritage into the family. i actually like the monarchy, i think they're very good for the country, and i think with meghan coming into the royal family, it's a reflection of society. to see her dress and how the hair will be, i'm sorry she didn't call on me to do her hair, but you know... jamaicans give a warm welcome to her majesty, the queen". warm welcome to her majesty, the queen... the relationship between jamaica and the commonwealth is accommodated one. jamaica gained independence in 1962, and being one of the few to flirt with the idea of severing colonial ties with the monarchy forgot. does meghan's presents represent a change? had there be someone in the roth family was growing up at that level, it would have made it much easier to

acce pt would have made it much easier to accept being black and british, the two concepts are not exclusive. it's a love story reflecting a more modern british society. colleen harris, bbc news. whether time, here's been rich. but for most, we are ending the day with sunny skies, those sunny skies translate into clear skies overnight, allowing at to turn quite chilly. towns and cities down 3—lid, the countryside can get close to freezing, so there'll be a touch of frost here and there. we'll see some extra clout in the far east, and also into northern ireland further into the night. these two areas of cloud will try to close him across the country during tomorrow, so quite grey and cool around the coast for east anglia and the southeast. another cloud into northern ireland and scotland, producing the odd splash of rain. but in between,

sundays and spells of sunshine. after a chilly start, temperatures will measure up nicely on a 1920 degrees. temperatures get up to 23 degrees, dry through the week with some sunshine, a bit cooler for the middle parts of the week. former labour cabinet minister tessa jowell has died aged 70. she was diagnosed with brain brain cancer last may. two british nationals who kidnapped in the democratic republic of congo on friday have been released unharmed. police in indonesia say a couple and their four children carried out suicide bombings at three churches which killed at least 13 people and left a dozen small wounded.
