to live when she launched one last campaign to 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 jowell. a public servant to the very last, dame tessa spoke to 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. a friend and ally of 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 on politics was enormous.

everything she touched, she turned to gold in some way, whether it was advancing equal pay for women, starting sure start, which is an immense programme for children in our country, or bringing the olympics to britain. she did everything but the same passion, verve, ability and charm. the games for the olympics in 2012 are awarded to the city of london. when london won the contest to host the olympic 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 absolutely don't think we would have had a chance of winning the games, nor delivering the games like they were, because she

demanded everything. even when very sick, tessa jowell never sought sympathy. she did demand change, change to allow cancer patients to switch from one trial to the next rather than waiting months, months they and she didn't have. some people listening to you will think, "why don't you curl up on the sofa, be with your family and friends, look after yourself"? absolutely impossible. and i have so much love in my family, my children, my close friends. "brave and inspiring", words often used for those whose lives cut short by cancer. they're 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 tessa jowell, who has

died at the age of 70. let's speak now to the labour mp david lammy, who worked as a minister under dame tessa jowell when she was culture secretary. hejoins me via webcam from north london. i write is a very young minister in her department, and she was probably the kindest, most generous senior government minister and whitehall at that time. so she was wonderful to work for. and i got there in the

run—up to us actually winning the olympic bid, and i saw the amount of work and dedication that she put into that. she was a consummate networker. she really did know everybody, probably the biggest rolodex in the country. and all of that went into us getting the bed, because everyone was commandeered to do the work. but i also saw during that time just after week actually got the bid, the 77 bombings went off, and tessa made it her business to deal with the victims, and she did that job to deal with the victims, and she did thatjob with such generosity, dedication and love, and she really was there for the victims of those bombings. so all around, was there for the victims of those bombings. so allaround, she was there for the victims of those bombings. so all around, she was a wonderful person, a consummate minister, and she was also able to work at it —— in a cross party way.

and that has been very interesting, she was clearly liked well beyond her own party. i think probably hurt arrival in the commons was also part ofa arrival in the commons was also part of a period of time where many women we re of a period of time where many women were working in a cross party way to advance the case for women in politics, and test i was right at the centre of that, and was the kind of senior politician that could appeal to conservatives, liberal democrats, to other parties. but i thinkjust her style, which was very easy, thinkjust her style, which was very ery thinkjust her style, which was very easy, very approachable, very warm, even though she was absolutely at the vanguard of defending and supporting tony blair, she was one of the very few secretaries of state that could command the ear of people that could command the ear of people that were not close to him or did not like them. and i suppose it seems that was partly because people

really could see her passion for the causes that she championed? yes, but she was a very empathetic person, as well. she was the kind of person that wanted to know what was on your mind, what you were thinking about, what was your policy? you did not get the sense was tessa that it was all about her or her agenda, she really made people feel at ease. and i think that was really part of her charm and why she was so effective in her period and years in politics. and as we've heard from many people, she was campaigning right up to the end, she had had this devastating news about her own illness, but she wa nted news about her own illness, but she wanted to use her ability, her connections, her energy that she still seemed to have left to try and make some changes to the system for people who found themselves in a similar position? yes, that was tessa. working right until the end,

not someone who just wanted to rest back on her laurels. i think she really understood her role in public service and fell she had a responsibility to help many of us as parliamentarians understand the reality of those who were diagnosed with a tumour and what more we could do. and i think that is a very important lasting legacy, and i think all of us were hugely touched not just think all of us were hugely touched notjust in the house but across the country by the effective way in which she spoke in the house of commons to that last time. thank you very much for sharing your memories of day tessa jowell. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are john rentoul, chief political correspondent at the independent and katy balls, political correspondent at the spectator. two british tourists who were taken

hostage in a gorilla sanctuary in the democratic republic of congo have been released. f1§1%%~,:f~?;i%e~e—zz;>§;'1;ft—z%’e m ,,- ~ 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 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. louise dewast in kinsasha. theresa may spoke by phone this afternoon with the iranian president, hassan rouhani. the call took place ahead of a meeting of european and iranian foreign ministers in brussels on tuesday, which is expected to discuss the iran nuclear deal. downing street says

the prime minister reiterated the commitment of the uk and its european partners to ensuring the deal is upheld. the metropolitan police are investigating another suspected stabbing, after a man in his 20s was found injured outside the national theatre on london's south bank. the incident happened just before 4pm this afternoon, and officers are still carrying out a search of the area. and no arrests have been made. 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. and all from the same family,

including a mother and two daughters aged nine and 12. a known islamic immediate —— islamic state media alec claimed the attack as part of its loyalists. police believe the family had recently returned from fighting with syria. the president visit the site and called for indonesians to fight this court of tourism. translation: this morning, we have ordered the police track down the networks of the perpetrators at source. we will not tolerate this kind of cowardice. i'm calling on everyone to fight terrorism, which is against the values of all religions, and our national values as a nation. indonesia is the world's most populous muslim nation. tracking and containing a dangerous radicalfringe has been a challenge for its security forces for the past 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 head, bbc news. 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 path for us. michael gove, who campaigned for brexit, sounding very diplomatic today. but hang on a minute, while he wasn't quite as colourful as boris johnson, who described the option of a customs partnership union with the eu as "crazy", mr gove said it was flawed. boris pointed out that because it's novel, because no model like this exists, there have been significant question marks over the deliverability of it on time. more than that, what the new customs partnership requires the british government to do is in effect to act as the tax collector, and the effective 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. option two is to rely on technology, but while plenty 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 that border. labour is divided too over how to approach brexit, but is committed to staying in a customs union. it says the government's approach is a shambles. we are in a farcical situation at the moment. nearly two years after the referendum, the cabinet is fighting over two customs options, neither of which frankly are workable, neither of which are acceptable to the eu. and if either of which were put to the vote in parliament, they probably wouldn't carry majority. the prime minister will discuss brexit with her most senior ministers on tuesday, as she tries to find a solution that her cabinet, parliament, and the eu can accept. chris mason, bbc news,

at westminster. 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. 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. 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 the 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. 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. our business correspondent joe lynam has been giving us a little more insight into who sirjim 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. stars of the small screen are finding 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 has been seeing stars arrive on the red carpet. we are seeing some of the biggest stars on the small screen and being nominated at tonight's ceremony. we have va nessa

planet two, we'll be seeing the new doctor from planet two, we'll be seeing the new doctorfrom dr who, jodie planet two, we'll be seeing the new doctor from dr who, jodie whittaker, her unveiling is up for best tv moment, and the highest honour goes toa moment, and the highest honour goes to a face very familiar to so many of us, the bbcjournalist kate aid. —— kate 80. of us, the bbcjournalist kate aid. -- kate 80. iwas lucky of us, the bbcjournalist kate aid. -- kate 80. i was lucky to see us be able to do so many stories. i've got able to do so many stories. i've got a huge amount of members, and most of them on the work side, admittedly some of the stories are a bit grim. on the work site, with great gangs like we have here tonight, it was great, it was wonderful, it is fascinating, surprising. what more could you ask was what congratulations to kate there. 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 this is a moment that captivated the world, and some corners of the internet. mock videos appeared online celebrating the news and meghan‘s heritage. i've come to coventry, my home city, and the birthplace of two—tone music, which promoted a black and white unite standce during the 80s. —— stance. one of its leading faces was pauline black from the selecter. i'm certainly not a royalist. i think the monarchy is outmoded, outdated, and has a colonial past. and here is a 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 ride, and she might feel she's bitten off more than she can chew, but i hope not. what does meghan‘s ethnicity resonate with some black britons? heslyns 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 family's acceptance of black heritage into the family. do i think that changes the face of them and makes people from outside of england look us differently? i do, yes. 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... thousands ofjamaicans give a warm welcome to her majesty, the queen... the relationship between britain and the commonwealth is a complex one. jamaica, which gained independence in 1962, is one of several islands that's flirted with the idea of removing the queen as head of state, severing its colonial ties for good. does meghan markel‘s presence represent significant change? had there be someone like meghan in the royal family when i was growing up at that level, it would have made it that much easier for me to accept being black and british, the two concepts are not fundamentally in conflict. for some, harry and meghan‘s marriage is not simply challenging royal traditiona, it's a love story reflecting a more modern british society. colleen harris, bbc news. let's have a look at the weather.

things have been burning up nicely, during the afternoon we saw temperatures up to 18 degrees in several places. under this clear skies, we are up for a chilly night to come. a bit more clouds for two areas, the cloud moving in from the west here, and also down towards east anglia and the far southeast. showers clear away from shetland later in the night, so wherever you are, it will be a fresh start your monday morning. a touch of grass frost in most prone spots first thing. we have plenty of sunshine through the morning today, still quite cloudy out west, a bit more clout also working back in the parts of eastern and southeastern england. around the east end of scotland, some cloud and mist as well. cool around the east coast, mr on the irish sea coast, but temperatures are up to 19 degrees, and the warmest spot should feel pleasant.

somewhat cooler towards the middle of the week. goodbye. this is bbc news — our latest headlines: 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 theirfour children carried out suicide bombings at three churches, which killed at least 13 people and left dozens more wounded. theresa may has reaffirmed her commitment to leaving the eu customs union — it comes as ministers consider two alternative options for trading post—brexit.
