hello. this is bbc news. in a moment we'll be joined by bbc one viewers for a full round up of the day's news with mishal husain, but first more tributes to the former labour cabinet minister, dame tessa jowell — who's died aged 70. we've been speaking to the labour mp sarahjones, who worked for dame tessa jowell in helping to organise the london 2012 olympic and paralymic games. she was the one who came up with the idea of even bidding in the first place, and everybody thought it was crazy at the time, and it was in 2001, and we had just had the millennium dome and wembley stadium and had not done well in the olympics and everybody thought that this was something impossible. she thought it was a good idea and set about persuading every single person of the cabinet to her view so we then agreed to bid for it and then, of course, we won it. and i worked for her when she was minister in

2008 where she was responsible for this huge project that everybody thought we could not do, and she knew, because she was so optimistic and so bright and right that this was the thing that would bring the country together, and if you remember 2012 and how it did bring people together and made us all so proud and we did do so well, she saw that years previously, and that is what was so special. she saw the goodin what was so special. she saw the good in people and what was possible and she went for it. and her ability to get people to see things her way, to get people to see things her way, to share her passion and excitement and get behind an idea. yes, you could not say don't —— say no to test. she knew so many people and a new who were the right people to talk to. but she knew them as friends. she was hugely warm and generous with everybody and when it came to my time to want to stand to

be an mp, she was there to help me think about what i was doing, what i was doing it for and how i was going to speak. she was just incredibly supportive. so people gave her what she asked for because she gave it so much back. she gave so much love back to everybody. tributes are paid to the veteran labour politician tessa jowell who's died at the age of 70. as a long serving minister she helped bring the olympics to london, and spent herfinal months campaigning for better treatments for brain cancer. in the end, what gives a life meaning, is not only how it is lived, but how it draws to a close. also tonight: how a second senior minister has publicly questioned theresa may's proposalfor a post brexit customs partnership. police in indonesia say six members of a single family were responsible for the bombing of three churches. injerusalem, israelis celebrate

the opening of the new us embassy — while palestinians protest. iam i am sorry she did not call on me to do her hair! ahead of the big wedding — the view from coventry about meghan markle and the royal family. and a standing ovation for kate adie as she wins this yea r‘s bafta fellowship. good evening. tributes have been paid to tessa jowell — the veteran labour cabinet minister and peer — who has died after spending herfinal 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, reports. i spent a huge amount of time with people with cancer... tessa jowell knew she had just weeks 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's going to 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's, 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, determination, verve, ability and charm. the games of the 30th olympiad 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 to the level 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 are 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. baroness jowell, who's died at the age of 70. theresa may's plans for customs arrangements after brexit have been dealt another blow by a senior cabinet colleague. the environment secretary michael gove, a leading brexiteer, today publicly criticised the idea of a customs partnership, saying the concept was flawed. he said there were serious doubts about whether it

could be put into practice. here's our political correspondent chris mason. 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 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 to be 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 possibly the effective delivery of regulation for the european union. 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, ireland 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 committed to staying in a customs union, and 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. there is though a ferocious internal debate within labour, too, about their approach to leaving the eu. 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. shami chakrabarti — who wrote a report into anti—semitism in labour in 2016 — has said that ken livingstone should be expelled from the party for claiming that hitler supported zionism. he is currently suspended. very difficult now to see how any rational decision—maker could allow mr livingstone to stay in our party. he has brought it repeatedly into disrepute. he has brought shame upon it. police in indonesia believe a couple and theirfour children,

aged between nine and 18, were involved in coordinated suicide bombings at three churches in the city of surabaya this morning. at least 13 people were killed and dozens injured — as 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 mother and two daughters aged nine and 12. a known islamic state media outlet has claimed that the attack was the work of its loyalists. the police believe the family had recently returned from fighting with is in syria. the president visited the site, and called for indonesians to fight the scourge of extremism. translation: this morning, we have ordered the police to track down the networks of the perpetrators. 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. 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 a very real one. jonathan head, bbc news. theresa may has spoken to the iranian president, hassan rouhani, ahead of a meeting of european and iranian foreign ministers later in the week. in the telephone conversation, the prime minister reiterated the commitment of the uk to ensuring the nuclear deal is upheld. she also raised the cases of the dual nationals — including nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — being held in iran with the country's president.

the us embassy in israel will open tomorrow in its new location injerusalem, after a move seen as a break with the international consensus for the status of the city to be left to peace talks. israelis today celebrated the change, which takes place on the 70th anniversary of its founding. the move has exacerbated tensions with palestinians, who've called for protests at the new embassy. our middle east editor, jeremy bowen is injerusalem now. jeremy — palestinian protests have been building for several weeks. yes, they have. seven weeks, culminating in the week coming. tuesdayis culminating in the week coming. tuesday is what palestinians call the day of the catastrophe, as they call the foundation of israel. the day before that, the americans are moving their embassy. for mr netanyahu, moving their embassy. for mr neta nyahu, the moving their embassy. for mr netanyahu, the israeli prime minister, this is an absolutely great week. this is something he really wa nted. great week. this is something he really wanted. he has got a lot of

support for it as well in israel. for palestinians, it is pretty disastrous. i don't think it is something they will sit there and accept, even though the americans, the us ambassador here has said they just need to get on with the new reality. there will be more protests in the coming days. the thing about this conflict between the israelis and palestinians, and history has shown this repeatedly, if it is left to fester without a positive political arising, without the sense that things are going to get better, and even though mr netanyahu may think this embassy move will make things better from his think this embassy move will make things betterfrom his point of view, i don't think it will in terms ofa view, i don't think it will in terms of a conflict involving two peoples. what history has shown is if you leave it, it gets worse, tension rises, violence starts. in the protests on the gaza wire, more than 40 protests on the gaza wire, more than a0 people have been shot dead by israelis in the last seven weeks,

more than 2000 wounded. so it is a lot of people involved, a lot of potential danger, and until the political reality here changes, the fa ct political reality here changes, the fact is this kind of violence, this kind of tension will continue. jeremy bowen in jerusalem, kind of tension will continue. jeremy bowen injerusalem, thank you. two british tourists taken hostage in the democratic republic of congo on friday have said they are "very relieved" after being released unharmed. soldiers were deployed to search the virunga national park after bethan davies and robertjesty were ambushed. a park ranger — rachel masika baraka, died after being shot by the gunmen — she is the eighth ranger to be killed this year. by this time next week, prince harry and meghan markle will be married — after a wedding that 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 uniting the royal family in modern britain. this was 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 stance during the ‘80s. 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 she will change it, i don't know, but i think she will probably be given a fairly difficult ride, and she might find she's bitten off more than she can chew, but i hope not.

why does meghan‘s ethnicity resonate with some black britons? heslyns was the first african caribbean hair salon in coventry, and here meghan is a fascination here for the clients. it's nice to see the royal family's acceptance of black heritage into the family. i don't think her being there specifically is going to change how they run procedures and things that they do on a day—to—day basis. do i think that changes the face of them and makes people from outside of england look us differently? i do, yes. what do you think it says for relations in black britain? or in britain at all? 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. i'm excited to see her dress and how her 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 markle's presence in the monarchy today represent a significant change? the royal family is a symbolic institution. it's the idea of what it means to be british, what it means to have a british identity. having a woman who is visibly of african heritage, who talks about that heritage in a senior, visible position in the royal family, certainly changes the symbolism around it. i think for someone like me growing up, had there been someone like her in the royal family at that level, it would have changed my relationship with britishness and made it that much easier for me to understand that i can be black and british and that the two things are not fundamentally in conflict. questions around identity in britain have resurfaced following the controversy around the windrush generation. but meghan‘s identity

could be seen as a bridge. her culture that she has from her mother is in her. herfather‘s culture is in her and she is going to bring that, she is going to bring that to harry and the royal family. to me, i think they're willing to accept it. otherwise the queen would never have allowed this marriage to go ahead. for some, harry and meghan‘s marriage is not simply challenging royal tradition, it's a love story reflecting a more modern british society. colleen harris, bbc news. with all the sport — here's lizzie greenwood—hughes at the bbc sport centre. thanks very much. good evening. it was an entertaining final day of the football season. match of the day and sportscene are on later on bbc one so if you want to wait for the results — you know what to do. manchester city are being hailed as the greatest side in premier league history after becoming the first team to reach 100 points. elsewhere liverpool secured fourth place in style, making sure they beat chelsea to the final champions league spot.

swansea were relegated, and arsene wenger‘s 22—year reign at arsenal ended with a win. celtic celebrated their seventh successive scottish premiership title despite losing to aberdeen who finished second, just ahead of rangers. celtic are still on for an historic — double treble. lewis hamilton cruised to victory in the spanish grand prix, extending his lead in the drivers' championship to 17 points. patrick gearey reports. lewis hamilton won his last race, due to the misfortune of others. this time he was perfectly placed to go it alone. on pole, your goal is to stay out of trouble, away from places where this can happen on the first lap. romain grosjean's mistake, two other drivers lost behind the smoke screen. when the fog cleared and the race restarted, hamilton headed over the horizon.

his nearest rival in the drivers standings, sebastian vettel, gambled on the change of tyres. the pit stop cost. va ltteri bottas on the change of tyres. the pit stop cost. valtteri bottas past them, as did max verstappen. this victory for hamilton, unlike the last, more emphatic than dramatic. today the current myself not the synergy today which i had not been feeling for the whole year so it is a good feeling. hamilton crowd serves clear at the top of the championship. others will have to catch him if he falls. british cyclist simon yates won the gruelling 9th stage in the giro d'italia, doubling his overall lead to 32 seconds in the grand tour. chris froome continues to struggle, he's more than two minutes behind. there are 12 stages left. and it was an end of an era for bbc commentaterjohn motson who hung up his microphone today. the voice of football for half a century, motty covered more than 2,000 games including 10 world cups and delivered some of the most memorable lines in the sport's history.

and there it is! the crazy gang have beaten the culture club. so many people were unexpectedly coming up to me and saying "all the best". so many people this morning were texting me, i thought it was my first match, not my last. "are you nervous?" and all that. crikey! a7 years later, i couldn't believe it! there's more on the bbc sport website, including how ireland's cricketers are getting on in their test debut against pakistan. that's from me. goodnight. stars of british television have been celebrating their biggest night of the year at the bafta tv awards in london. there were prizes for gangster epic peaky blinders and hard—hitting drama three girls. lizo mzimba was watching. a week ahead of the royal wedding,

for most parts of the country it's been a beautiful day. a bit more cloud around in the north and east but rain for parts of northern scotland, but here was the scene leeds, a bit of fair weather cloud and the next week or so we are looking at dry weather set to continue. but there will be a cooler spell of weather through the middle part of the week. back to now and here's the satellite image that we still have cloud across northern and eastern scotland stretching down close to parts of east anglia and the south—east, more cloud working in through the west overnight so it will cloud over for northern ireland but the much of the country under the clear skies, we are in for a chilly start to monday and in a few spots there could even be a touch of frost.

a bit milder towards parts of east anglia with cloud drifting in from the north sea and milder under the cloud for northern ireland. through the day, a largely dry day with sunshine on offer and a bit of fair weather cloud building through the day but quite cool around the eastern coasts with breeze coming in from the north sea and the cloud pushing in for parts of east anglia and the london region. but in the sunshine, temperatures up to 19 degrees and it could feel pleasant. a bit cooler around the east coast. as we head into tuesday we have this frontal system which starts to move into the north west which will bring cloud to northern scotland and northern ireland with a few spots of rain. england and wales keep the sunshine on tuesday with a bit of cloud, but it should be the warmest day of the week, particularly towards central and south—east england. here we will see temperatures around 20 or even 23 degrees, but slightly cooler conditions working into scotland and northern ireland later in the day

and fresher behind that weather front. the front will track further south and east across the country as we move through tuesday and into wednesday. you can see the blue colour returning. things changing in the middle of the week with a slightly cooler day. wednesday, the wind changes so a more northerly influence and a cloudy day for england and wales as the weather front eases away. still a few showers and temperatures between 13 and 16 degrees. goodbye for now.
