and hundreds more injured. palestinian protesters hurled stones, israeli security forces opened fire in return. israel's prime minister said his military was acting in self defence, saying palestinian group hamas had mixed armed fighters in with the civilian protesters. america has also blamed hamas for the violence. the responsibility for these tragic deaths rests squarely with hamas. hamas is intentionally and cynically provoking this response. this violence has brought international attention. these protesters took to the streets in turkey. the united nations has talked of outrageous violations of human rights. russia has been highly critical of america's decision to move its embassy. germany said israel had a right to defend itself, while france's president emmanuel macron condemned the violence. three days of mourning have now been declared by the palestinian president mahmoud abbas.

the fear is the violence may not be over with more protests planned this week. we will talk more about that later in the programme. let's bring you the rest of the news so far today, with ben. good morning. kensington palace says prince harry and meghan markle have appealed for "understanding and respect" for ms markle‘s father after a report that he's decided not to attend their wedding on saturday. thomas markle was accused at the weekend of posing for photographs which had appeared to have been taken without his consent. simon clemison reports. thomas markle is said to be shy and reclusive, but about to walk his daughter down the aisle in a much talked about royal wedding just days away, he couldn't be more centrestage. he was supposed to be meeting prince harry for the first time this week. if this bride—to—be‘s father has definitely pulled out of the ceremony in windsor, exactly what has led him to make that decision is not yet clear. the celebrity news website

which is claiming he's going to stay away said it would be to save causing her or the royal family any embarrassment. he's recently been at the centre of press attention after claims that pictures of him getting ready for the big day were staged. the bbc understands meghan is distressed and concerned for the wellbeing of her father. in a statement, kensington palace said it was a deeply personal moment for ms markle in the days before her wedding, adding that she and prince harry were asking again for understanding and respect to be extended to mr markle in this difficult situation. ms markle is close to her father and it's thought she hopes he will still be there to support her on saturday. let's talk to simon now, he's down in windsor watching the preparations. simon, just a few days to go and still uncertainty about who will walk meghan down the aisle?m

still uncertainty about who will walk meghan down the aisle? it is not what you want with a few days before any wedding, let alone a royal wedding. preparation is ongoing in windsor, a few days to go but extremely busy. lorries have been going in and out all morning. beer, barriers, broadcasters, bunting. you name it, it has been happening. as to why thomas markle has a p pa re ntly as to why thomas markle has apparently done this, he has been in the papers recently, initially for what seems the right reasons. he appeared in some pictures looking like he was getting ready for the big day, those on the hot pictures of him being measured up, unaware, it looked like. but the mail on sunday looked at this more closely and they found cctv footage which appeared to show that what was happening was he was turning up on location with a photographer, some of the people and backdrops in these pictures were not quite what they seems and the claim was he had been

stunting these pictures up in association with the press. yet you will remember prince harry, when he was first dating meghan markle, was very clear about trying to put some distance between him and some elements of the press, who he said we re elements of the press, who he said were a bombardment. those elements of the press trying to get pictures of the press trying to get pictures of thomas markle with that ad hoc, off the wall look. there is no official confirmation yet that he will not attend. the palace has not said that yet, he has not said that officially, he has just said that yet, he has not said that officially, he hasjust commented this to a journalist in mexico. lots of people here will be hoping, not least meghan markle, that her father can walk her down the aisle. thank you very much indeed, simon. the scottish parliament is expected to reject a key part of the uk government's brexit legislation today. under the eu withdrawal bill, some devolved powers would be temporarily retained by westminster after brexit. after months of wrangling with westminster the scottish government

has submitted a motion making clear it does "not consent to the european union bill". the greens, scottish labour and the liberal democrats say they'll back the snp and it's certain to be passed in a vote at around five o'clock. and at westminster, the cabinet's brexit sub—committee will meet today, as discussions continue about customs arrangements after the uk leaves the eu. at their last meeting, two weeks ago, ministers were divided over the two options put forward by theresa may. she has said the uk will withdraw from the customs union. inspectors have expressed concern about what they've described as an excessive use of restraints on asylum seekers who were being removed from the uk on a charter flight. hm inspectorate of prisons observed the removal of 23 detainees by the private company, tasco, to france, austria and bulgaria. all but one were restrained in a waist belt, which restricts arm

movements and can hold arms clamped to the body in the secure position. the husband of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — the british—iranian woman jailed in iran for spying — says his wife could be facing fresh charges. richard ratcliffe has urged the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, to raise her case when he meets his iranian, french and german counterparts in brussels today. they will be discussing whether they can salvage the iran nuclear deal, after the united statres withdrew from it last week. a report has found a failure rate of more than 90% in facial recognition systems used by police at major events. the civil liberties group big brother watch, has described the technology as "dangerous and inaccurate". police forces are defending it. rory cellan—jones reports. the champions league final in cardiff last year,

and south wales police are trying out a new way of monitoring the crowd. but facial recognition technology isn't a great success — it ends up wrongly identifying people as being on the police database 93% of the time. at the notting hill carnival, the same technology has performed even worse for the metropolitan police, with a 98% failure rate in identifying people on the watch list. now a civil liberties group says the whole experiment should end. what we're building is essentially a mass surveillance system that can biometrically track, locate, and identify, or misidentify people everywhere they go. and i think we need to stop and ask ourselves the question, is this something that we want? technology to identify faces in a crowd is pretty hit and miss at the moment. but it's making rapid progress and the police say they need to work out whether it can help them protect the public at major events. metropolitan police say they always make additional checks to confirm whether someone has been incorrectly

identified by the technology. south wales police released this video showing how their system works and defended it against its critics. those very lurid headlines we have seen, and very negative reports really don't the full story of how much it does help us. china is way ahead in the use of facial recognition, with a vast database of its citizens. but big brother watch is asking whether the uk really wants to go down the same path. more now on our top story: funerals are taking place in gaza amid fears of further violence, after dozens of protestors were killed by israeli forces yesterday. our correspondent nida ibrahim is in gaza. asi as i say, fears of further violence

today? yes, that tension might begin today? yes, that tension might begin today as palestinians are laying their loved ones to rest after they we re their loved ones to rest after they were killed yesterday in clashes. actually some of the confrontations have been in that area. this is one of the sites that with this deadly clashes are many palestinians were killed. some had tried to cross into the israeli controlled area through that fence. they might come back in the afternoon after they lay these people to rest. tension might be high but it remains to be seen if there is an interest in an escalation. yesterday we talked to organisers of such protests he said there has been a disproportion of use of force. they said we had palestinians who were unarmed and they were met with an excessive force from the israeli side. thank you very much indeed, nida, from gaza. the rolling stones say

they will reclaim their song, you can't always get what you want from donald trump this week, when they start their first tour of britain and ireland for a decade. the us president used the band's music without their permission during his election campaign. a man's been charged with stalking the singer rihanna after allegedly breaking into her home in hollywood hills, los angeles. eduardo leon, who is 27, is accused of spending 12 hours in the property last week, whilst the star was out. he's also charged with residential burglary, vandalism and resisting arrest. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9:30am. victoria, back to you. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtag #victorialive. if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. you can also e—mail us, either a video clip for a straight e—mail

with a question, if you have a question for norman smith about brexit, in particular the customs union arrangements. victoria@bbc.co.uk. it could not sell more boring, i appreciate that, but it is so important and is splitting a number of political parties at the moment. let's get some sport with hugh woozencroft. we're going to talk about cricket because there's a new format coming in, which isn't to everyone's liking nor is the ecb's way of selling the idea. exactly right. good morning. lots of discussion in cricket about new proposal for a 100 ball format, the idea has drawn plenty of criticism. amongst them that the new idea wasn't really going to be a huge change to the current twenty20 format, and that it will take the focus away from the longer form of the game — the county championship which, of course, feeds into the england test team. so why change? well, it's thought by the ecb that an even shorter form of the game will stir interest, be easier to watch on tv and simply, be even better entertainment. but, as i say, there has been some doubts within cricket and now the chairman of the england

and wales cricket board has angered some by what's deemed as derogatory comments regarding young people's views on the sport. take a listen. the younger generation, whether you like it or not, just are not attracted to cricket. and in all the work and service we have done and the research we have done, that younger generation wants something different. they wanted more exciting, shorter, simpler to understand. those are the things we have learned that this new competition, that is what we had to make it. supposedly the kids are not into it. graves also confirmed to the bbc for the first time that the tournament was "set in stone" and that they will be working hard, with some rather dubious clubs... more celebration for manchester city and similar scenes for fulham? we

will keep talking about cricket, actually, victoria, this mixed message from the ecb. they yesterday announced 50 thousand five to eight—year—olds had signed up to their all star programme for kids, that off the back of their own admission that they hadn't really thought about younger primary aged children. not to mention the ecb chief excutive tom harrison saying the new 100 ball format was ‘just a concept‘ of course graves has now confirmed it. quite an embarrassment for the ecb. speaking on 5live's tuffers and vaughan show last night, the former england spinner phil tufnell thinks children d0 love the game... igo around i go around my local county and my clu bs i go around my local county and my clubs and what have you, and friday night, there's loads of kids down there. you have got to fight for it lose days, it's not going to happen that cricket is the summer sport in england, you have got to go out and grab these guys, i understand that.

but i am pottering about from pub to pub, isee but i am pottering about from pub to pub, i see loads of little kids!m seems that all of cricket will have to show a united front over its interest otherwise people or not be tuning in. good morning. we're talking about how to cope with exams in about half an hour, as gcses start this week. we'll talk to one teenager who lost some of her hair because of stress in the run upto her gcses. before that, 02 has apologised to a family in london after racist hate mail was sent out by its phone company. the british muslim family received two letters through the post, one addressed to ‘mr isis terroriste' and one to ‘mr getout 0fengland'. 0ur reporter catrin nye has this exclusive story. fill us in. these are the letters, and inside, if you can open them up, they are sink arts. these have been ordered online —— they are sim

cards. and where there is a name, there is a racist message instead. terrorist is spelt with an eat, and get out, england is spelt together, so you would think that it is just trying to avoid some computer checking. we do not know who sent them, they were sent to a british iraqi muslim family in wembley, they we re iraqi muslim family in wembley, they were sent out in august but they we re were sent out in august but they were not noticed for a while because theyit were not noticed for a while because they it looks like junk mail. how did they react? the family actually did they react? the family actually did not want to talk to us on the programme because some members were shaken by this and they did not want to be fully identified. they gave me state m e nts to be fully identified. they gave me statements to read out on their behalf, they say,, we are very saddened to come across these

letters, especially having a young child in the house who we do not wa nt to child in the house who we do not want to grow up witnessing such hateful language. it's even sadder to think that such hate speech has become normalised despite living in such a uniquely diverse and multicultural city like london. what 202 say? they say that there are sim ca rd 202 say? they say that there are sim card printing and postage is managed bya card printing and postage is managed by a third party and automated as you might expect. there are human checks in place but they do not come in and of a query is raised and even though these rest —— unless a query is raised and even though these m essa g es is raised and even though these messages are clearly hateful, there was no query so they went out. they say they will work with this partner company to review the entire process asa company to review the entire process as a result of this, including where human checking is used and it should be used more. they gave us a statement as well, saying, we have a vigorous data cleansing process in

place to preventing any of our free products being sent to messages with offensive terms, so it is a rare occurrence. we are shocked by this and have apologised to the family concerned. if they decide to report this case, we will work closely with the police as part of their investigation. sura jawad is a lawyer and a friend of the family. and miqdaad versi is from the muslim council of britain. thanks to both of you forjoining me. first of all, when you saw these, what did it make you think?” first of all, when you saw these, what did it make you think? i was com pletely what did it make you think? i was completely horrified by it. i was talking to the gentleman that received it, from the family, and he mentioned to me in passing almost, look what i got in the mail. can you believe it to? but almost in a way that, it became normalised and it is quite defeatist mentality, of what can you do, these things happen. and

i was horrified by it. a i thought this should not be normalised and we should not treat it as something that just happened and should not treat it as something thatjust happened and something should be done about it. that is why i spoke to you and here i am. what do you think? i agree exactly, it's a real worry that this type of action has happened and someone has chosen to do something that this so maliciously, but it is yet another means by which someone has to express islamophobic intent. we have had letters gone out, hate mail across the country, we have had the punish a muslim day, so many different things that have happened to muslimsjust in the last different things that have happened to muslims just in the last few monthss. it is worrying that people think it isjust normal to most people. do you think this is normal? 02 rightly said this is rare and most people are shocked by this. it's definitely not normal for the

majority of the population, we live in the uk which is one of the best places in the world to live, we have got the far right growing in europe and america and i don't think i would like to live anywhere else than the uk. the fact that you can see this as a slim and think, this is normal, and don't do anything about it, is worrying. —— as a muslim. when you look at polling, 31% of young children think muslims are taking over england. that was the largest poll that was done. amity people questioned ? the largest poll that was done. amity people questioned? thousands of people, 37% of the population would support policies to reduce the numberof would support policies to reduce the number of muslims would support policies to reduce the numberof muslims in would support policies to reduce the number of muslims in the uk. you see these numbers in many polls and that isa these numbers in many polls and that is a worrying reality that we have to deal with. and while the vast majority of people would pour these type of use, the reality is this ——

would add pour these type of views, this reality is real. would you say call it out if someone receives a message like this? i would say it should not be ignored. some people might experience it walking down the street and would brush it off because they would think, what can i do? when it comes from a company like 02 orany do? when it comes from a company like 02 or any kind of big organisation, to ignore it almost is ita organisation, to ignore it almost is it a platform and give that person a platform and legitimises it further. it should not be ignored and it should be reported, evenjust for the purposes of statistics. people should note this is happening. the purposes of statistics. people should note this is happeningm this family going to go to the police? i am not in a position to comment at the moment but if you ask me personally, i think it should be reported. thank you very much for coming on. coming up... the wedding of prince harry and meghan markle isjust four days away, but exactly who is going to walk meghan down the aisle on saturday?

it probably won't be her father after he staged pictures with a paparazzi photographer reportedly. so how does that work? we'll be talking to a paparazzi photographer and royal watcherjennie bond just after half past nine. it's now been more than two years since british iranian mother nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe was first detained in iran, arrested in an airport whilst heading home back to britain. iran has accused her of plotting against the government, something she and her family say is rubbish, saying she was simply in the country to introduce her daughter gabriella to her parents. now nazanin could be back in court within the week facing a charge of spreading propaganda against the iranian regime. that's the fear of her husband richard ratcliffe who is calling on the foreign secretary boris johnson to raise her case when he meets his iranian counterpart in brussels today. the last time we spoke to richard was last november when borisjohnson apologised for telling a commons

committee hearing that mrs zaghari—ratcliffe had been teaching journalism in iran, something herfamily and employer say isn't true. richard is in westminster for us now. so this threat of further charges, that has come up for, hasn't it? yes, that's right. —— it has come up before. we had in november when the foreign secretary's comments were taken last time, there was a charge of spreading propaganda against the regime which went to court and got dropped after the foreign secretary's visit. it looked like that has been revived again out of the blue. we saw the first indication on friday when it appeared in hardline newspapers in iran and her persecutors have been saying she is green taken to court again so she phoned beatific in tea rs. again so she phoned beatific in tears. -- phoned me yesterday in

tea rs. tears. -- phoned me yesterday in tears. why is this happening?m tears. -- phoned me yesterday in tears. why is this happening? it is clearly political, it is to coincide with the foreign secretary meeting representatives, and there have been other citizens taken in the last few months. there is something that they are persuading the british political system to do and they are using nazanin as part of it. when she calls you in tears, how do you try and consoled her? it is two head, trying to understand what has happened and what i can do, generally the hard part in all of the phone calls is giving her any hope. we have been going for two yea rs, hope. we have been going for two years, it long time. it's hard to give her hope and promise her that it's all arbiter, the judge told her last week that the case against her is made up. it's very hard to give

her hope that you will be out soon. the last time we spoke, you were optimistic that she would be home for christmas. yes, the foreign secretary was very clear he would leave no stone unturned and he would do anything he could, and he told the telegraph that he would try to settle things between button and iran, there are old debts that need to be sorted. —— britain and iran. it got much better but it's stalled in the new year and it had got worse for us since then, with new court cases. what do you want boris johnson to say it with his counterpart? i do want him to be clear with this new nuclear deal and the aspirations that we have with britain putt listenership of the iran -- britain putt listenership of the iran —— britain's relationship with iran, there has to be a way for this

relationship to go forward and people can go and visit their family, without being held as bargaining chips. you wonder what it is that's going to change. as you say, both yourself and the foreign secretary had been putting these m essa g es to secretary had been putting these messages to them for some time. yes, i think, the message that came back from thejudge is i think, the message that came back from the judge is that every time he tries to ask if, can he approve nazanin's release, the message comes back that the uk has not paid the debt yet. i think the uk has a decision to make and if i'm honest, it needs to think what is going to be the best to keep its citizens say. its policy at the moment seems to be putting people in harm ‘s way. —— best to keep its citizens safe. in the next half an hour, we will talk about exam stress. we will talk to one teenager who

lost a lot of her hair couple of yea rs lost a lot of her hair couple of years ago during her mock exams because of pressure and another teenager who collapsed the number of times because of the stress. we will bring you some techniques to cope with stress. sean on facebook says, kids today seem to fail to that recognise many of the things they face are not new. people have been taking is out many years. when i did many decades ago, —— taking it sounds many years at —— x than is for there was not the brain and confidence what social media, which was a really good point. the headlines now with them. funerals are taking place in gaza today after dozens are taking place in gaza today after d oze ns we re are taking place in gaza today after dozens were killed by israeli forces yesterday. palestinian health officials say 60 people died as the united states opened its new

undersea in israel. —— embassy in israel. more unrest is expected today as palestinians mark the 70th anniversary of what they call the nakba or catastrophe, as thousands of people left their homes during the creation of israel. kensington palace says prince harry and meghan markle have appealed for "understanding and respect" for ms markle's father following a report that he's decided not to attend their wedding on saturday. thomas markle was accused at the weekend of posing for photographs which had appeared to have been taken without his consent. the scottish parliament is expected to reject a key part of the uk government's brexit legislation today. under the eu withdrawal bill, some devolved powers would be temporarily retained by westminster after brexit. after months of wrangling with westminster the scottish government has submitted a motion making clear it does "not consent to the european union bill". the husband of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — the british—iranian woman jailed in iran for spying — says his wife could be

facing fresh charges. richard ratcliffe has urged the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, to raise her case when he meets his iranian, french and german counterparts in brussels today. a report has found a failure rate of more than 90% in facial recognition systems used by police at major events. the civil liberties group big brother watch has described the technology — used to automatically match faces with images on a database — as "dangerous and inaccurate". the south wales and metropolitan police forces, which are trialling facial recognition, say it's improving, and that additional checks are made to confirm identification. a man's been charged with stalking the singer rihanna after allegedly breaking into her home in hollywood hills, los angeles. eduardo leon, who is 27, is accused of spending 12 hours in the property last week, whilst the star was out. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. here's some sport now with hugh. hello again. fantastic scenes at

craven cottage last night. fulham are through to the championship final after coming from behind to beat derby county. they'll face either aston villa or middlesbrough, who meet again tonight. villa are 1—0 up in that one. manchester city celebrated with their fans last night after a record—breaking season. manager pep guardiola said they'd be relaxing for a while, enjoying the world cup, before coming back even stronger next season. kyle edmund is looking in good form on clay, in the run—up to the french open. he came through a tough three—setter against malikjaziri to reach the second round of the italian open in rome. and olympic gold medallist darren campbell says he's relieved to be alive. the 44—year—old is recovering in hospital after suffering a bleed in the brain. that's all the sport for now. we will be back with more after 10am. it's not clear whether meghan markle's dad will walk her down the aisle on saturday at the royal wedding as planned.

prince harry and ms markle have appealed for "understanding and respect" for her father thomas, who's been thrust into this morning, meghan's hot sister samantha said she hoped he would be able to go but said he had had a heart attack last week and it depended on whether he would be well enough to go. prince harry and ms markle have appealed for "understanding and respect" for her father thomas, who's been thrust into the spotlight after reports that he staged pictures for a pa ra razzi photogrpaher. he's reported to have said he didn't want to cause his daughter emabrassment by attending the wedding. we can't show you the photos at the centre of the controversy because of copyright issues. but speaking to itv‘s loose women yesterday, meghan's half—sister samantha admitted that she had encouraged their father to stage the photos, so as to make him appear in a good light. ifeel that the media have unfairly preyed on him, so, you know, he has really, i think, been admirable about laying low and not speaking out,

with all due respect. and i merely wanted him to be seen in a respectable light. i didn't think that was being done, so i suggested that the photographers show him as he is, doing positive things, and that was never addressed. of those positive things included seeing him in an internet cafe looking at pictures of prince harry meghan markle, being measured for a suit, reading a book with historical images of britain. let's speak now to the royal commentatorjennie bond. and from devon is george bamby, one of britain's most successful paparazzi photographers with over 20 years experience. welcome to you both. jennie bond, what you make of this?” welcome to you both. jennie bond, what you make of this? i think it is a right royal mess. as to the positive images samantha was talking about, these were anything but,

really. they looked staged. when i saw the picture of him allegedly being measured up for a morning suit, the shop appeared to be some kind of beachfront i don't know what shop, the taylor was a young chap in jeans, a t—shirt and apparently the tape measure was borrowed from mr marco himself. they were not positive images. he looked scruffy, i don't know what he intended by that. she is trying to take the rap, but i think all of our sympathies are with the poor young woman getting married on saturday. george, how does it work when you make an arrangement with a photographer to ta ke arrangement with a photographer to take pictures of you which are a p pa re ntly take pictures of you which are apparently natural and as though the subject of the pictures does not know they are being taken? basically, it happens quite a lot in the media. people want to be... well, making a few quid or getting a bit of publicity or whatever they

wa nt bit of publicity or whatever they want to do. they get in touch with us, we come up with an idea of some pictures that will sell to the media, things people will be interested in, we fabricate the stories. for example, looking at a computer screen of harry and meghan and having photographs taken through and having photographs taken through a window is perfect for davila newspapers. we think of an idea that will work for everybody, take the pictures, the media and the newspapers get what they want, the subject gets what they want and as a photographer we get what we want, it works hand in hand. that is what setups are. he says he was not paid, could simply be naivete on his part? he has been thrust into this world, we are told he is very private and he is not used to this kind of world? maybe he is a little bit naive, but at the end of the day there is no naivete for making a few quid. he says he was not paid. everybody says that. at the end the day, i think it

was damage limitation. he been caught out, he has set up some pictures, he was obviously getting paid for them. basically the royal family deal with loads of stuff like this all the time, it is not a problem to them, but from meghan markle and her family's point of view, it is very embarrassing going into the royal family and being caught out at such an early stage doing this. why else would you do it? for money, that is what everybody does. we do it all the time. i know somebody that has worked with meghan's father before. time. i know somebody that has w( thei with meghan's father before. time. i know somebody that has w( the end h meghan's father before. time. i know somebody that has w( the end of iieghan's father before. time. i know somebody that has w( the end of the 1an's father before. time. i know somebody that has w( the end of the day, father before. time. i know somebody that has w( the end of the day, when‘ before. time. i know somebody that has w( the end of the day, when there “a. time. i know somebody that has w( the end of the day, when there is at the end of the day, when there is something so massive, an international story, an international story, an international royal wedding, probably the biggest wedding for the la st 50 probably the biggest wedding for the last 50 years, for somebody to turn up last 50 years, for somebody to turn up and say 50 grand, hundred grand or whatever, it is money, and. i don't care what anybody says. that

much money, 50 grand, 100 grand?!- the end of the day he is the father of the future bride of prince harry. it is the biggest story around at the moment, the bigger story for months and months and months. for something like this, they will pay big bucks for the rights pictures. it is interesting to see how the media then went off, it is a double whammy for the paparazzi, once it has been done and the stories have been told and the pictures have been sold, they can go back and say, due know what, we also have cctv of this being set up, which is another massive story. the cctv has probably made more than the pictures themselves. jennie bond, would it be embarrassing, look at the smile on your face... i had not embarrassing, look at the smile on your face. .. i had not even thought of the cctv money. would it be embarrassing for him to come and walk is daughter danielle? as soon

asi walk is daughter danielle? as soon as i saw it was a setup, i wondered how he could do it. it would be hashtag awkward, to say the least declamation market would be a shame if he did not come. it seems meghan really wa nts if he did not come. it seems meghan really wants her father that in spite of this, if that is true i hope he might swallow his pride, come over and we will all say, you have learned your lesson and you buy your daughter's side. that is my sentimental side. whether he can do that... whether these reports that he has had a heart attack are true, i don't know. he is being tailed by photographers, would they not have known if he was in hospital?“ photographers, would they not have known if he was in hospital? if he does not come, will it be done to her mother? it will be down to whether she wants, but i think it would be great. victoria walked two of her daughters down the aisle, so it would not be a precedent, but i think it would be a powerful symbol of how close she is to her mum and it would be great, don't you think?

i think yes, probably, but i don't know... she doesn't need a man. yes, that if she wants her dad... thank you, george bambi and jennie bond. coming up... the uk's first female professor of surgery and president of the british medical association, 80—year—old averil mansfield, recognised with an nhs heroes award, presented to her by her royal highness the duchess of cornwall. we will talk to herjust before 10am. gcses are starting this week, and 750,000 students across the uk will be taking exams and there are concerns that teenagers are being put under increasing stress, particularly because of a new grading system that comes in this year. the charity childline says it's expecting an increase in the number of pupils calling with exam—related anxiety. it says in extreme cases, teenagers can need medical assistance. here to talk about this is megan amos, who collapsed with stress while taking her gcses two years ago.

she's about to sit her a—levels. maya khan is sitting her gcses this year — in fact, she has one this afternoon. my my goodness! maya suffered from severe anxiety after receiving some mock results a couple of years ago and started to lose her hair. her mum nisha is here too — she quit herjob in order to look after her daughter and help her mental health. journalist matthew syed is here — he's written a self help book for teenagers called you are awesome. i call you a journalist now as opposed to former great britain table tennis... is that all right? you have written a book to help teenagers. and we can speak to matthew burton in leeds. you know matthew! matthew is the deputy head teacher at thornhill community academy, which was on the tv show educating yorkshire. welcome, all of you. first of all, let me ask megan about collapsing with stress around exams. tell the

audience what happened. during my gcse i found it really difficult to balance eating, revising, socialising, being at home and just through pure stress and anxiety i could not eat properly, and because lam not could not eat properly, and because i am not eating i was collapsing, feeling dizzy in class, i was taken out of school in a wheelchair a couple of times because of it. that affects my revision and my confidence in my exams. it is a vicious cycle which was hard to break out of. maya, you have kindly given us some photographs you are happy to show the audience about you losing your hair because of the pressure of what happened?|j losing your hair because of the pressure of what happened? i was very stressed out, i have always beena very stressed out, i have always been a stressed child, so when i receive my mock results i got so... just wondered that myself and angry andi just wondered that myself and angry and i did not have... know how to deal with stress that such a young age. i started losing my hair, i had age. i started losing my hair, i had

a really bad diet and i lost most of my house. so i decided to make my youtuber channel which focused on the aspects... bad aspects of losing your hair into good, so i could interact with people who were suffering from the stress. was the stress coming from yourself, the school, your parents? mostly i stress myself out, the people at school... my school is a very hard—working school school... my school is a very ha rd—working school and school... my school is a very hard—working school and so we have lots of pressure around is to be the best we can at all times, and i think that would have been one of the factors that affected me. your mum gave up the factors that affected me. your mum gave up herjob to look after you, to help you better look after your own mental health? yes, definitely. matthew, i have already had a message from one viewer saying we have always had exams, why does it seem to be more pressured now?|j it seem to be more pressured now?” think there is a broader context,

young people are often surrounded by social media, voters have been airbrushed, people key rate their lives to look as perfect as possible. it is quite easy to infer from that that life is about acting and looking perfect. i think that increases what you might call the fear of failure. if i have an exam i might be judged, people fear of failure. if i have an exam i might bejudged, people might fear of failure. if i have an exam i might be judged, people might think iam less might be judged, people might think i am less talented than i would like to think of myself. that anxiety can undermine performance, create different types of stress. the reason i wrote the book is to try to convey this quite empowering idea that taking risks, occasionally falling short, that is how we grow, but takes the pressure off. if we think we will be judged but if we do slightly less well, it is ok, it can have a different psychological dynamic. paul allott have a different psychological dynamic. paulallott have have a different psychological dynamic. paul allott have any impact on you as a teenager you need to hear that from everybody, including contemporaries —— for that to have any impact on you. nine at the top

mark now, if everybody is saying i need to get nine nines, you will pick up on that? yes, and i think teachers and parents are really important. teachers equip young people with concepts and knowledge that they had to deploy in the exam hall, but i think it is quite useful, and i know lots of great teachers do this already, to help them with psychology too. when i mentioned i was a former table tennis player, i fell apart at the 0lympic tennis player, i fell apart at the olympic games in sydney, lasted 15 minutes flat to olympic games in sydney, lasted 15 where the vast majority of gcses are coming in with a number whereas last year they had letters and numbers, two different playing field is working at the same time which is a difficult challenging concept for young people to deal with. how do young people to deal with. how do you try to make sure your gcse stu d e nts you try to make sure your gcse students don't lose their hair because of the pressure or don't collapse? it is a fundamentally important thing. one of the

affirmations i make to year 11 regularly is around of course these are important exams and it is a significant time of pressure for young people in their life. possibly for a lot of young people the stress they have a full—time in their lives, but what's really worth remembering and what is really quite groundingl remembering and what is really quite grounding i think sometimes is not worth losing your health over, whether that is mental or physical health. these are important but not to the extent of spoiling your health or affecting your health detrimentally. we also try to work with parents as well and make sure they are playing an active role, and yes being challenging and making sure children are grafting away and putting in the work that they need to that's going on across the country, but also the parents' role

is about making sure they eat and they are well hydrated. that they don't always revising their bedroom for example, that a different place for example, that a different place for work and rest, and sleep is a massive part of the work that goes on. megan, do you think this kind of pressure mostly affects girls or is that not the case? i don't think so at all. obviously girls will be more hormonaljust because of a ology, thatis hormonaljust because of a ology, that is how it is, but i know so many people who are so stressed out over everything, boys and girls and it is not subject specific at all. compared to two years ago, how are you managing it better this time? apart from her mum leaving herjob. the whole of year 11 have a

mentoring programme and mine is so sweet, she has almost become... she properly understands me so any time i feel stressed out i know i can go to herand the i feel stressed out i know i can go to her and the school has made it clear she is a woman i can trust. not everybody would have that opportunity. what advice would you give to people? just going for advice when you need it. during my gcses i was the same, i thought everyone else is going through the same thing, if i talk to anyone i am putting pressure on them as well but everybody roughly understands what everybody roughly understands what everybody else is going through and the more you talk to each other, the more you are helping each other out. speak to parents and teachers because bottling it up, you are not helping yourself. i don't know if you remember doing your exams, i certainly do. what's the implication? no, i am older than

you! we had o—levels then, possibly harder than gcses but don't quote me on that! i remember thinking if this doesn't go the way i wanted to, this is it, and it didn't matter if anybody said it is not the end of the world, i wasn't hearing that. anybody said it is not the end of the world, i wasn't hearing thatm is psychological escalation so i thought when i went to the olympics ifi thought when i went to the olympics if i lose, i will lose my lottery funding, then! if i lose, i will lose my lottery funding, then i will lose my mortgage, my flat, my girlfriend. you are about to perform in the most important environment in your life. the key thing athletes in the build—up to 2012 learned would trigger words to take the pressure off. i would say to myself when i'm under pressure now, win or lose, fail or succeed, my mother will still love me. she regards this as a

slightly optimistic claim but can you see how it takes the pressure off? these tools sound trivial but some of our top olympians find these trigger words so they are not thinking of the worst case scenario when they are about to perform. think about the best case scenario, how that changes your ability to recall facts and figures and delivering the way you can. good luck. i cannot believe you are on national television and have a gcse exa m national television and have a gcse exam this afternoon but that is probably a measure of how far you have come. megan, good luck with your a—levels as well. mr burton, thank you for coming on the programme as well. the department for education say putting a stop to the endless treadmill of exams, and have invested money to improve mental health support for people including an awareness course to help people struggling with exam pressure.

her dad was a welder, her mum was a shop assistant. born in blackpool in the 19305, averil mansfield set her heart on being a surgeon from an early age and she made that dream come true. a leader in herfield, she has saved thousands of lives through pioneering stroke—preventing surgery. as the uk's first female professor of surgery and president of the british medical association. last night she won an nhs heroes award which was presented to her by her royal highness the duchess of cornwall. let's have a look. thank you so much for the honour of giving me this trophy, i do not deserve it, and thank you to the people who have supported me over the years of my career. and you can't do it without that support. and my family,

some of whom sadly are no longer here to enjoy this celebration, but some of them are sitting over at my table over there. wonderful to have them here. my colleagues, who have always been a huge support to me, in every walk of medical life. notjust the doctors, indeed, perhaps least of all the doctors. laughter. perhaps the most important thing in a woman surgeon's life is the theatre sisters and my best friend are theatre sisters, they're absolutely wonderful. applause you can see the whole programme on itv next monday at 8.30pm. averil is here. congratulations, how was your night? it was wonderful, very special. what does it mean to receive something like this? very special. what does it mean to receive something like this7m very special. what does it mean to receive something like this? it was a big surprise. i'm retired now so to be recognised for my working life was quite amazing really.” to be recognised for my working life was quite amazing really. i said in the introduction your dad was a welder, your mum was a shop assistant, born in black full of

working class family. —— blackpool. you knew age eight you wanted to be a surgeon, you knew age eight you wanted to be a surgeon, how come? we had a wonderful library and i was fascinated by the fact people were doing things in the very beginning when they really didn't know whether it was possible or whether the patient could survive having their chest opened for example, and i was captivated by it. i thought that was where i would like to take my life and see if i couldn'tjoin in those ranks. we are seeing images of you now through your life and career. tell our audience is a little bit about the pioneering surgery in terms of people who have had the stroke. the hospital i worked at had on the first operation, not done by me, to try to prevent strokes and it was very successful and i tried to

set about establishing the scientific basis for that operation. it removes a blockage in the main artery to the brain, it is in the neck, and people normally have had some neck, and people normally have had some warning strokes and it's very important people take notice of those. if they do and if there is a narrowing or almost a blockage of the artery, we can put it right for them. it's a wonderful feeling to stop somebody having a stroke. it is a short operation, it only lasts about an hour but it is a life changing procedure. and is it true that you used to ring relatives the next of kin yourself after an operation to say how it had gone?” did,| operation to say how it had gone?” did, ifelt that operation to say how it had gone?” did, i felt that was really important. why? if you have been on the other end and you deposit your loved ones of the operating theatre, it isa loved ones of the operating theatre, it is a very small thing to let

people know they are ok. what to hear it from view, the person who has performed the surgery. yes, for me that was part of the contract with the patient and the family. we forget sometimes about the family and it is hugely important. an excruciating, agonising wait.” and it is hugely important. an excruciating, agonising wait. i have done it, it's horrible, most unpleasant. why do you believe we need more female surgeons? 11% of surgeons are women. need more female surgeons? 11% of surgeons are women. most importantly, the people who want to do surgery should be able to pursue that, male orfemale. perhaps the most important message is to find out if that career will suit you, but now more than half the medical stu d e nts but now more than half the medical students are female and if we don't try to encourage women to pursue a surgical career if that is what they want, if that is what suits them,

then we will probably run short of surgeons if we are not very careful. i think rather more fundamental than thatis i think rather more fundamental than that is to make sure people who feel that's what they want to do in life get the opportunity to do it and don't feel there was anything stopping them from doing it, because there isn't. really? what are the challenges? if you start an operation, you cannot suddenly say it is five o'clock and i have to go because the operation has to take precedence over everything else in your life and that is something you have to come to terms with at the very beginning. it can be challenging if you have other things in your life, as we all have, but there has to be that commitment to there has to be that commitment to the patient that takes precedence over everything else until you have done what you need to do for that patient. you cannot stop halfway. and it is a long training ladder, that's the other thing that is tough. i had a young surgeon

accompanying me to the celebration last night and she has been training i suppose for about 1k years and that's a long time before you come fully fledged surgeon. i was lucky, i was much younger than that but it isa i was much younger than that but it is a long path and especially if you wa nt to is a long path and especially if you want to do something academic along the way as well. it adds to the yea rs the way as well. it adds to the years it takes to get to the end of the road. but and rewarding. a superb career, i loved every minute of it right from the start of the last day when i retired. how old are you? i am now 80. you look way younger than that! thanks for being on the programme. we will bring you the news and sport in just a moment. before that the weather with carol. it's going to be another glorious day, is it not? yes, that is exactly the forecast, sunny and warm but we do have some

nuances and one is in the shape of this weather front coming across north—west scotland and northern ireland sinking south—eastwards. that is bringing cloud with it and light rain as well. in addition to that we have default humming in from the irish sea —— sea fog. a lot of sunshine across england and wales, and as we go through the date the cloud sinks south and it will brighten up later behind it across western scotland and the west of northern ireland. temperatures could get up to 21 celsius in the sunshine in aberdeenshire and about 23 across parts of the south—east of england. uv levels are moderate across england and wales and generally across the uk to date pollen levels are moderate except in the north and west. this weather front will be sinking southwards with its patchy

rain and drizzle along with it, and it will not be a cold night with temperatures holding up in double figures. the clear skies in northern ireland and scotland means it is, temperatures dipping down and we will see pockets of frost. tomorrow we are will see pockets of frost. tomorrow we are seeing splashes of rain in wales, the east midlands and the south—west, but the cloud will be thin in places so we will see sunny spells. a bit more of a noticeable breeze tomorrow and temperatures and not as high as we are looking at today. on thursday high pressure is well and truly across us so after an iffy start we are looking at a fair bit of sunshine. cloud developing so instead of those guys there will be sunny spells so not spoiling the day, and temperatures roughly 12 in the north, 16 in the south. by the time we get to friday very similar, again with clear skies by night it

will be a chilly start of the day. some areas of cloud around at times but a lot of this will be high cloud so there will be sunny spells. but then we have weather front coming in from west which will introduce eco—cloud and splashes of rain. as for the royal wedding in windsor on saturday, temperatures roughly between 19 and 22 depending on how much cloud cover their is, but we do expect it to stay dry. there is only a very small chance of the shower. hello, it's tuesday, it's ten o'clock, i'm victoria derbyshire. welcome to the programme. our top story... in gaza the first funerals have taken place after 58 palestinians were killed by israeli troops during yesterday's demonstrations. more protests and more violence are expected with gcse exams starting this week, we've been speaking to one teenager who was so anxious about her exams, she lost some of her hair and another who collapsed from the stress.

these are my exams. everyone else is going through the same thing. if i talk to somebody else, i am putting pressure on them as well. that is not the case. that is the point, everybody roughly understands what others are going through. the more you talk to people, the more you help each other out. what is the difference between these trousers? one is slightly bigger than the other and it costs more. some customers of new look are angry about that. is it really a fat tax? we will talk about it more. e—mail your views. here's ben in the bbc newsroom with a summary of today's news. funerals are taking place in gaza after dozens of protestors were killed by israeli forces yesterday. palestinian health officials say nearly 60 people died as america opened its new embassy injerusalem.

israel says the response of israeli troops to protests at the border was measured. however more unrest is expected today as palestinians mark the seventieth anniversary of what they call the nakba or catastrophe, when thousands of people left their homes during the creation of israel. our correspondent in gaza, nida ibrahim, sent this update a short time ago. tension might be giving up today as palestinians are laying their loved ones to rest after they were killed yesterday in clashes. some of the confrontations have been here in that area. this is one of the sites that area. this is one of the sites that with this deadly clashes, many palestinians were killed. some of them had tried to cross into the israeli controlled area through that fence, and they might come back today in the afternoon after they

lay these people to rest. tension might be high, but it remains to be seen might be high, but it remains to be seen if there is an interest in an escalation. kensington palace says prince harry and meghan markle have appealed for understanding and respect for ms markle's father following a report that he's decided not to attend their wedding on saturday. thomas markle was accused at the weekend of posing for photographs which had appeared to have been taken without his consent. the scottish parliament is expected to reject a key part of the uk government's brexit legislation today. under the eu withdrawal bill, some devolved powers would be temporarily retained by westminster after brexit. after months of wrangling with westminster the scottish government has submitted a motion making clear it does "not consent to the european union bill". and at westminster, the cabinet's brexit sub—committee will meet today as discussions continue about customs arrangements after the uk leaves the eu. at their last meeting, two weeks ago, ministers were divided over the two options put forward by theresa may. she has said the uk will withdraw

from the customs union. inspectors have expressed concern about what they've described as an excessive use of restraints on asylum seekers who were being removed from the uk on a charter flight. hm inspectorate of prisons observed the removal of 23 detainees by the private company, tasco, to france, austria and bulgaria. all but one were restrained in a waist belt, which can hold arms clamped to the body. the husband of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — the british—iranian woman jailed in iran for alleged spying — says his wife could be facing fresh charges. richard ratcliffe has urged the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, to raise her case when he meets his iranian, french and german counterparts in brussels today. a report has found a failure rate of more than 90% in facial recognition systems used by police at major events. the civil liberties group big brother watch has described the technology — used to automatically match faces with images on a database —

as "dangerous and inaccurate". the south wales and metropolitan police forces, which are trialling facial recognition, say it's improving. a man's been charged with stalking the singer rihanna after allegedly breaking into her home in hollywood hills, los angeles. eduardo leon, who is 27, is accused of spending 12 hours in the property last week, whilst the star was out. he's also charged with residential burglary, vandalism and resisting arrest. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 10:30pm. —— 10:30am. thank you for your messages about exa m thank you for your messages about exam stress and also the royal wedding. one text says perhaps meghan markle's dad, the poor guy, would feel able to attend his daughter's wedding if people were not paying such attention to this. meghan deserves to have her dad at

this event. surely the main story is the wedding, not her dad having photos ta ken? the wedding, not her dad having photos taken? shame on the media. another person says who cares other than meghan and harry? i can't imagine how thomas markle would feel about being on the world stage, i have been father of the bride twice ata have been father of the bride twice at a normal wedding. on exams, one person at a normal wedding. on exams, one person said my teenager fainted on exams, one person said my teenagerfainted around on exams, one person said my teenager fainted around exam on exams, one person said my teenagerfainted around exam time, had a few days off, vomiting, headaches etc, and i got a snotty letter from the school about the importance of mock exams in attendance. my reply was scathing. her health matters more to me than mock gcses. another person on twitter said my daughter has the second of 25 exams today. wow. she has not misbehaved and has worked incredibly hard, we could not be prouder of her, whatever her results. but why do they have to do

so results. but why do they have to do so many results. but why do they have to do so many exams. another person treats my brother has just failed his 11 plus and rejected from an appeal. he is absolutely heartbroken and it feels like the end of the world. and that is why the family comes in, to make sure they know it is not. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtag #victorialive. if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. here's some sport now with hugh. good morning. it's often described as the most lucrative game in english football — the championship play—off final at wembley — and fulham are there. they trailed derby 1—0 going into the second leg at craven cottage before ryan sessegnon squared the tie in the second half. he isjust 17 years he is just 17 years old. denis odoi brought the house down with the second, to give fulham a 2—1 aggregate win. they'll meet either aston villa or middlesbrough in the final. their second leg is tonight, with villa 1—0 up in that. manchester city manager pep guardiola is expecting a relaxing summer after their stunning premier league season left them dubbed the centurions.

he and his team celebrated with some 100,000 city fans last night — and after that record—breaking season in which they amassed 100 points. so it's far overdue that pep puts his feet up for a bit. to achieve what we achieved, what we have done with the quality of the players, it is absolutely impossible. we are herejust players, it is absolutely impossible. we are here just to players, it is absolutely impossible. we are herejust to hail them, but the quality that they have as human beings and players is outstanding. that is why we did what we outstanding. that is why we did what we have done. now we will enjoy it. i will not speak to next season. good beer, good red wine and enjoying the season. we will come

back stronger than this season. british number one kyle edmund has produced another strong performance, this time in the first round of the italian open. he had to fight hard for a three—set win over world number 64 malikjaziri, and it's good to see he's in such solid form on clay, as we head towards the french open. the chairman of the england and wales cricket board has attracted criticism for suggesting that children aren't interested in the game. he says the new 100 ball format will definitely be introduced in two year's time, in a bid to make the game more appealing — but listen to what he had to say about young people's views on the sport. the younger generation, whether you like it or not, just are not attracted to cricket. and in all the work and service we have done and the research we have done, that younger generation wants something different. they want it more exciting, shorter, simpler to understand.

those are the things we have learned that this new competition, that is what we had to make it. ireland are about to head into the final day of their very first test match — they're playing pakistan in dublin. kevin o'brien became the first irishman to hit a test century yesterday — he resumes on 118 not out, with ireland 139 runs ahead in the second innings. the former british olympic champion darren campbell says he's relieved to be alive, as he recovers from suffering a bleed on the brain. campbell is 44 and he's a regular part of the bbc‘s athletics coverage — most recently for the commonwealth games last month. he had a seizure at home a week ago and he told us he won't be working at all this summer, so he can concentrate on getting better. we wish darren all the best with his recovery. that's all the sport for now. more later in the hour. it is ten

past ten, welcome to the programme. fresh protests against israel are expected in the palestinian territories, a day after israeli troops killed dozens of people in gaza. today is the 70th anniversary of what palestinians call the nakba, or catastrophe, that saw thousands flee amid the creation of israel in 19118. the violence yesterday came as the us opened its embassy injerusalem which is controversial because israeli sovereignty overjerusalem isn't recognised internationally. ivanka trump appeared at the ceremony, followed by a video message from her father — to the delight of the israeli prime minister. we welcome you officially, and for the first time, to the embassy of the united states, here injerusalem, the capital of israel. thank you. cheering and applause. israel is a sovereign nation with the right, like every other sovereign nation, to determine its own capital. yet, for many years, we failed to acknowledge the obvious —

the plain reality that israel's capital is jerusalem. what a glorious day. remember this moment. cheering and applause. this is history. president trump, by recognising history, you have made history. the decision to move the embassy is deeply controversial because the status ofjerusalem goes to the heart of the israeli—palestinian conflict. the embassy was previously in tel aviv. israel has occupied eastjerusalem since 1967, but the final status of the city has yet to be agreed. it is one of the world's oldest cities and through centuries of shared and disputed history, is revered by christians, dues and muslims.

—— christians, jewish people and muslims. here's our middle east correspondent yolande knell. jerusalem. this ancient city lies at the very heart of the israel—palestinian conflict. and we've seen many times howjust a small change on the ground here can quickly lead to a flare—up and to violence. so what happens here really does matter. jerusalem's got great religious significance, of course. its old city has some of the holiest sites forjewish people, for muslims and for christians. and it's got great political significance, too. most israelis seejerusalem as their eternal, undivided capital. not long after the modern state of israel was created in 19118, the israeli parliament was set up in the western city. —— west of the city. but it wasn't until the 1967 war with neighbouring arab countries that israel captured eastjerusalem, including the old city. and they later annexed it in a move that's not recognised internationally.

israeli leaders often vent their frustration that there is not recognition of full israeli sovereignty over jerusalem, particular international allies. of course, palestinians see things starkly differently. they want east jerusalem as their capital and that's part of the long—standing international formula for peace here known as the two—state solution. basically, the idea that an independent palestinian state would be created alongside israel, along the boundaries that existed before 1967. of course, palestinians see things starkly differently. about a third ofjerusalemites are palestinians. some of them come from families that have been here for centuries. and there are lots of ongoing tensions, particularly over the expansion ofjewish settlements in the east of the city. they are seen as illegal

under international law, but israel disagrees. today will bring fresh protests against israel. each may 15th, palestinians commemorate the expulsion or flight of 700,000 of their people from their homes in 19118, as a result of the creation of israel. the tense atmosphere will be heightened as funerals take place of protestors killed by israeli forces on monday. on the streets ofjerusalem — there's little cause for optimism, as peace in this holiest of lands becomes ever more elusive. nobody‘s saying that arabs can't live here. of course they can live here. but sovereignty is a different story. you can't say... you find it hard to say the word palestinians, don't you? there are arabs living in this area. why don't you call them palestinians? there's no reason to. why? because there's no such thing as a palestinian people. jonathan marcus is our diplomatic correspondent. first of all yesterday, was what

happened yesterday almost inevitable? i think there was a grim inevitability about it, after all there have been these kind of demonstrations on a smaller scale on the gaza israel frontier for sometime now, but they are both a political signalfrom sometime now, but they are both a political signal from hamas but sometime now, but they are both a political signalfrom hamas but i think a very authentic signal from the palestinians in gaza of hopelessness. there is no political process that we can see that's likely to lead any kind of peace. the palestinians in gaza are trebly isolated, there are rows with hamas and the egyptians on one side of the frontier, obviously huge tensions between hamas and israel, that means

the crossing point into gaza are frequently closed, frequently disrupted. most recently they have been burned down by the demonstrators so that will lead to more disruptions so you have here a powder keg of people who believe there is no political horizon for them, no politicalfuture, and i think the desperation you see is pa rt think the desperation you see is part and parcel of the terrible events that have been unfolding over the past 2a hours. events that have been unfolding over the past 24 hours. just remind people who hamas are. the palestinian leadership in control of the gaza strip. there are to be separated from the main palestinian leadership who control the west bank. it's likely there is strong sympathy for hamas even insignificant parts of the west bank as well, but the fundamental point is the palestinian leadership is divided, countless attempts to try

to unify them and get them singing from the same song sheet have failed, so you have these multiple antipathies, multiple divisions. there is a terrible irony about this because to get a middle east peace process going for the palestinians and israel, you have a number of balls in a row. extraordinarily perhaps, because of the growing concerns about iran, you have key arab concerns about iran, you have key ara b states concerns about iran, you have key arab states like saudi arabia much closer in their outlook to israel. that raises the possibility of a diplomatic solution. the saudis are the people who have proposed an arab peace plan which i think many independent observers believe is the closest thing to a process that still exists, but of course those vital but the balls, the division in the palestinian leadership on the one hand, the really short—term

thinking of the israeli leadership and prime minister benjamin netanyahu and prime minister benjamin neta nyahu who i and prime minister benjamin netanyahu who i don't think perhaps these things in the longer term, he plays much more for the short—term benefits, it means those balls can not be aligned. in terms of side pressure, not be aligned. in terms of side pressure, donald trump since he came into office has been talking about a peace plan for the region, like with north korea he has decided in his own particular way he will solve this when other people have failed. but he's come forward with absolutely nothing so far and the only tangible and dramatic thing he has done is what you saw yesterday, the moving of the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and the moving of the american embassy from tel aviv tojerusalem and that is separate from any wider plan, separate from any equivalent gesture to the palestinians, i think has only stoked the tensions even further. 0k thank you. we will see what happens today. still to come... a civil liberties group describes

facial recognition as dangerous and inaccurate after a report revealed a failure rate of 90%. we will get reaction. the cabinet's brexit sub—committee will meet later today and will be discussing what the government wants to replace the customs union with after brexit. over the past few weeks, there have been very public rows between conservative politicians about what this should be. so we're going to try to make sense of the two options that are on the table. we've got our political guru norman smith here in the studio to answer the questions you've been sending to us over the past 24 hours. we've got a question from someone working on the irish border, someone else asks whether consumers will have to pay higher prices. we will play some of those video clips ina we will play some of those video clips in a moment but norman, take it away. there's an almighty customs

row raging, it's been going on weeks and you are probably thinking oh no, not more of this, but the reason people keep going on about this customs row is because it is. of brexit. it is not a spat over the colour of passports, it is about the economic ties we have with europe, our trade links with what is still our trade links with what is still our biggest market. it all comes down to our departure from what's known as customs union. the customs union is effectively the eu's trade clu b union is effectively the eu's trade club and we are members with it at the moment. it means we can trade anywhere in the eu without tariffs. hypothetically you are a businessman in burnley, you can transport your goods to dover, over to calais and through france, through switzerland, round austria, back through italy and you don't face border checks or tariffs. but we are leaving the

customs union so what will we do instead ? customs union so what will we do instead? first option is a customs partnership, this is mrs may's favoured option and the thinking behind this is to try and make sure we behind this is to try and make sure we keep the borderfree behind this is to try and make sure we keep the border free trade through the rest of the eu, but there is a price to pay and the price is we kind of become the eu's tax collector. sale at our borders we tax collector. sale at our borders we would be charging eu tariffs for goods going into the eu so let's ta ke goods going into the eu so let's take the example of a meatball producerfrom take the example of a meatball producer from moscow who wants to ship his meatballs to munich via felixstowe. when the meatballs arrive in felixstowe, we charge the eu's tariff and hand the money to the eu which means the meatballs can go straight through to munich without further delays or customs checks. the problem is brexiteers say we don't want to be the eu's tax

collector so they have come up with what's called the max fac, maximum facilitation, so it means they are acknowledging there will be the border but we are trying to make it as easy border but we are trying to make it as easy as border but we are trying to make it as easy as possible for business by using super—smart technology so it is as light touch border as possible so is as light touch border as possible so there will be checks but it may be way back from the border. the difficulty is the northern irish question, there's real nervousness that even if you have a light touch border in northern ireland whether that might destabilise the peace process. so where we are that might destabilise the peace process. so where we are now that might destabilise the peace process. so where we are now is snake has divided her brexiteer ministers into two groups —— mrs may has divided her ministers and asked them to come up with answers which they have been unable to do. so it is not a customs quandary, it is a

customs quagmire with ministers trying to claw their way out. we asked viewers to send in their questions about this particular issue. first we will play a clip from marie crowley. it looks like both options are going to cost local businesses here in the uk more money to bring goods into the country. my question is — what impact is that going to have on me as a consumer? is my weekly shop going to be more? good question. the answer, if you are listening to the optimists, is once we are listening to the optimists, is once we leave the eu will will be able to strike our own trade deals and have our own tariffs and many brexiteers believe at the moment we pay a premium, particularly for foodstuffs, particularly coming from developing countries because the eu, led by countries like france, are very protective of their farming

industry and charge a premium tariff. so if the brexiteers are right at least food prices have the potential to come down. 0k, right at least food prices have the potentialto come down. 0k, next let's hear from rosina potentialto come down. 0k, next let's hearfrom rosina stjames in london. whatever they choose to do regarding the customs union, is the government confident that hmrc and other border agencies will have a good enough computer system and people skills to manage successful delivery? confident, no. their nerves jangling because this has never been done before. neither of these options has ever been tried before, in fact david davis described the one theresa may likes as blue skies thinking so we are entering the realms of the unknown. on the technology side there is a view that maybe the way to get of this is to buy ourselves more time and say we haven't got the technology to do this, why don't we add on more time

to our transition time so we can try to our transition time so we can try to improve the technology and make sure to improve the technology and make sure it works. what's interesting about this is damian green, one of mrs may's closest associates, he floated that idea at the weekend saying we need a bolt on period to make sure the technology works because at the moment we don't know if it will work and has never been tried before. 0k, elizabeth is next. with the customs partnership plan, would it be british businesses bearing the brunt of additional paperwork? hmm, well... there will be additional costs in whatever system you try to introduce, there's no way around that because we are leaving the customs union where there are no costs a nd the customs union where there are no costs and you are going to put a new system in place, there are going to be additional costs. all i can say is again, the hope is the sort of

ta riffs is again, the hope is the sort of tariffs we will impose will be lower than the eu's tariffs so for business it should be a more competitive environment, but let's not get away from it, if there are borders there will have to be administration and bureaucracy. that will have to be paid for, and i guess it will either be business or taxpayers. so there will be costs but there are advantages too if we manage to have lower tariffs than the rest of the eu. here is colin, he lives and works on the irish border and he's businessmen. —— colm. on both options, i'd like to ask the following questions. number one, what does this mean for the movement of people across the island of ireland, both from the north, southern ireland and from southern island back to northern ireland? and number two, could the british government give us any working examples of where both are actually working in practice at the minute? 0k, ok, i will ok, iwill take ok, i will take his second question first. if you mean aren't there any

exa m ples of first. if you mean aren't there any examples of a customs partnership, no, there aren't. that is untried and untested. in terms of the question about what happens to people in the north and south, whether they can carry on travelling across whether they can carry on travelling across the border without passports, the answer is yes because the customs deal relates purely to trade, to goods, to physical goods and not people. what the government have said is something called the common travel area which means a sickly people in the north and south can go wherever they like, they can work whatever they like and claim what are the benefits they like on the island of ireland and that will continue so there will be no change there. this is a journalist from fife and here is his question. questions about the future of scotland and northern ireland in a post—brexit uk have dominated since the referendum. the scottish government looks

unlikely to give its consent to the uk government's brexit bill. people here are overwhelmingly voted to remain as part of the eu and favour membership of the single market. if the uk government refuses to negotiate a separate settlement for scotland and the scottish government continues to withhold its consent for the brexit bill, then what happens? does brexit happen? i should answer, yes it does. at least that is mrs may's take on it. the withholding of consent by the scottish parliament would be politically very awkward and difficult for mrs may if one part of the uk was to say we disagree, we don't want this, we are opposed, of course don't want this, we are opposed, of course that's very difficult. constitutionally it doesn't matter a row of beans. the government has a lwa ys row of beans. the government has always been of the view that we leave the eu as the uk, there will not be a pick and mix approach where there is one deal for scotland because they are in favour of the single market and another for ireland and another for wales. let's

not get away from it, given the way scotla nd not get away from it, given the way scotland voted and given nicola sturgeon's stands, the concern at the back of wants mind is to say sorry, but you are leaving the single market like the rest of us, that ignites dependent sentiment so there's a lot of politics involved in this even though scotland doesn't have a block on brexit. what's happening in the scottish parliament today that is relevant? the scottish parliament will vote today and the expectation is they will not grant consent to the eu withdrawal bill so thatis consent to the eu withdrawal bill so that is pretty much putting up a big neon sign to mrs may saying we disagree with you. she can listen to it and pay attention to it, will it change anything in terms of our from egre— emr‘t basically. a hard brexit used

point, basically. a hard brexit used to be leaving without any sort of deal, basically we slam our fist on the table and say we are out of here, we're going roadway. that used to be what people referred to as ha rd to be what people referred to as hard brexit. now it has morphed a little into leaving the single market, leaving the customs union, that has become a colloquialism for a hard brexit. as we were saying at the real dividing line, it all comes back to the issue of the customs union and all the threads seem to lose there. that is where the two sides have made their stand. the brexiteers adamant we must leave if we are brexiteers adamant we must leave if we are not quitting the eu, the remainers orformer we are not quitting the eu, the remainers or former remainers are saying you've got to think about business and the economy and the damage of leaving the customs union would be profound, so the customs union has become the fault line and on either side you could probably loosely say there are hard brexiteers and soft brexiteers. off

brexiters staying in the customs union? staying in some form of a customs union. if you like, they are the cautious side, they are fearful of the damage to jobs and the economy if we were to leave without an acceptable customs arrangements with the eu. the brexiteers tend to be bullish, saying we can be a confident, buccaneering country, make our own way in the world, don't have to hang onto nanny‘s apron strings. as well as a political type... divide there is a psychological divide between the remainers, who seem to be more apprehensive, and the brexiteers, who are much more bullish. finally, how would you assess the strength of theresa may's position as prime minister at the moment?” theresa may's position as prime minister at the moment? i think as each day goes by get stronger. the longer you are in a post, the harder it is to turn a few. it also reveals

a truth which is for all the huffing and puffing, the grandstanding, the criticism of the likes of boris johnson off to stage left, nobody has dared move against her, and when you look to see who is it who will replace theresa may, there is a deafening silence. i look at her as a geoffrey boycott of politics. she sticks in there, she is not flamboyant, flash or dynamic, but she is still there and nobody is moving her out. thank you very much. we should do this again. still to come... civil liberties group big brother watch says facial recognition technology is both dangerous and inaccurate. the wrong person picked out nine times out of ten, claims the report. and police in the united states have

charged a 27—year—old man with stalking rhianna at her home in the hollywood hills. —— with stalking rihanna. time for the latest news — here's ben. funerals are taking place in gaza after dozens of protestors were killed by israeli forces yesterday. palestinian health officials say nearly 60 people died as america opened its new embassy injerusalem. israel says the response of israeli troops to protests at the border was measured. however more unrest is expected today as palestinians mark the seventieth anniversary of what they call the nakba, or catastrophe, when thousands of people left their homes during the creation of israel. the latest figures show that unemployment fell between january and march to to 1.42 million. and according to the office for national statistics, wages overtook inflation for the first time in more than a year. pay excluding bonuses rose 2.9% in the first quarter of the year, compared to an inflation rate of 2.7%.

kensington palace says prince harry and meghan markle have appealed for "understanding and respect" for ms markle's father — — following a report that he's decided not to attend their wedding on saturday. thomas markle was accused at the weekend of posing for photographs which had appeared to have been taken without his consent. the scottish parliament is expected to reject a key part of the uk government's brexit legislation today. under the eu withdrawal bill, some devolved powers would be temporarily retained by westminster after brexit. after months of wrangling with westminster the scottish government has submitted a motion making clear it does "not consent to the european union bill". the husband of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — —— that is a summary of the news. more from me at 11am. we will be talking about larger

sizes costing more. one person says she is a size 18 and is trying to lose weight, larger clothes cost more material and it is an incentive to try to get into the smaller sizes. here's some sport now with hugh. great scenes are craven cottage as fulham made it through to the championship play—off final. they will face aston villa or middlesbrough at wembley next. they meet again tonight, villa 1—0. manchester city micro—celebrating with fans last night after their record—breaking season. manager pep guardiola saying they would be really —— they would be relaxing from well, enjoying the world cup before coming back stronger. kyle edmund looking good on clay in the run—up to the french open, coming through a surf —— a tough three setter to reach the second round of the italian open in rome. the olympic gold medallist darren

campbell says he is relieved to be alive. the 44 ridge is recovering in hospital after a bleed on the grain. more sporting newsroom live after 11am. andy verity is here to talk about the new economic ??nospace ‘s figures. -- andy verity is yet struck but the new economic figures. the squeeze a living standards is a period we have gone through over last year when wages are not keeping up last year when wages are not keeping up with prizes. households have gradually been able to spend less and less money the goods they want. we have had a squeeze on living standards before, went away for a bit and came back, but now it seems like it has gone away. it appears the average pay increased by more than inflation, 2.9%. inflation

2.596. than inflation, 2.9%. inflation 2.5%. so that looks much more co mforta ble 2.5%. so that looks much more comfortable than it has done. the news on employment is the same as it has been, you could have given that headline every month in the last couple of years, employment had hit a new record. 75% of the working population are working, more than since 1971. 32.3 million people are employed. another 400,000 jobs added evenin employed. another 400,000 jobs added even in the last year, which is meant to have been difficult. but what sort of jobs? meant to have been difficult. but what sort ofjobs? are they predicted jobs when we are growing amount we can produce each year so we can amount we can produce each year so we can have pay rises more than inflation? it is hard to tell, but the latest productivity statistics are the downer, the amount we produce per hour all work seems to have fallen. if you want pay rises to keep up, you need that to keep growing, rather than falling. cheers, andy verity. still to come... the same trousers from the same store, but the larger pair costs more. is that fair? is it

isita is it a fast tax? —— is it is ita fast tax? —— is ita is it a fast tax? —— is it a fat tax? a report has found a failure rate of 98% in facial recognition systems used by police at major events such as football matches. we will get rid of those stripey trousers any second! the civil liberties group big brother watch has described the technology — which automatically matches faces with images on a database — as "dangerous and inaccurate". the technology is being trialled by the met police and south wales police. let's speak to silkie carlo. she's the director of big brother watch. tony porter is the government's surveillance camera commissioner, and samir jeraj is from the race equality foundation. thank you all for coming on the programme. i wonder if you could explain how facial technology equipment works, silkie? police construct watch lists that they have

ona construct watch lists that they have on a database and then they run softwa re on a database and then they run software behind cctv cameras that are in public spaces, events, protests, carnivals and they scan the whole crowd. they scan biometric week, so they are constructing unique maps of each of our faces to compare against the watch list. —— they scan biometrically. it is up to 98% inaccurate at the moment, get some 98% inaccurate at the moment, get some images of innocent people are being retained and stored on police databases. are they? yes. south wales police have stored almost 2500 images of innocent people in a biometric database, most if not all of those people will not even know their images are on the database. isn't that partly because these pilot schemes? metropolitan police say we pilot schemes? metropolitan police say we are pilot schemes? metropolitan police say we are trialling the software,

it isa say we are trialling the software, it is a pilot and when we get to the end of the pilot scheme we evaluate how successful or otherwise it has been? it has been running for a year, and the case of the metropolitan police they have used it for two years. it seems like deployment by stealth, really. we have to be very cautious. i do believe we should be experimenting with people's rights on the streets of britain with this kind of authoritarian surveillance. the met police say all deployments during the trial have been and will be overt, with information disseminated to the public and subject to fill a vacuum “— to the public and subject to fill a vacuum —— full evaluation. the conclusion of the trial is expected to be around late 2018. there have been no arrests resulting from facial recognition technology. samir, you are from the race equality foundation, what do you make of these results from the pilot scheme? about i think there are three key points. is it effective? no. has expressed consent been given

by the people surveilled, and are they continuing to give it as more thanjust a they continuing to give it as more than just a one—off are you they continuing to give it as more thanjust a one—off are you can —— i'm 0k thanjust a one—off are you can —— i'm ok with this happening? and will it do anything to address the existing problems of racial disproportionality? again, the answer is no. these are three key areas to be answered before anything further happens with this technology. you don't want to get to the end of the pilot scheme to evaluate it properly? much of it has been revealed to be fundamentally flawed. or you would stop it now, yes? yes. ok. let me bring in the government surveillance camera commissioner. tony porter. hello, mr porter. what do you make of the results from this freedom of information request so far regarding these pilots? big brother continues to do good work on this, it has

raised the issue in the mind of the public, which has to be good. my concern is, as public, which has to be good. my concern is, as you public, which has to be good. my concern is, as you said just earlier, this is a pilot. you could argue that the pilot has already started to deliver upon its intent in that it is being exposed, the technology has been exposed, as being weak on certain areas, the regulatory framework on the law supporting it needs to be tightened. the question i would put to the panel in the studio is is there not a thought that with strong powers we need strong safeguards, and as a country we have an ability with the public interest to protect the public interest to protect the public from this kind of technology. not so far. the results are really poon not so far. the results are really poor, you must acknowledge? you had to look at what you are talking about. they are operating a system approach. part of that is they have police intervention, there is a

human intervention. that is a key pa rt of human intervention. that is a key part of the code in which i oversee and regulate and other regulators look at. you are right, the technology is not good enough, we know that. when i took my commission four years ago, facial recognition wasjust a four years ago, facial recognition was just a concept, four years ago, facial recognition wasjust a concept, there was no way it would be deployed. whether china is more effective than the uk, i don't know. but both the metropolitan police and south wales police have exposed their operation to strategic boards, civil liberty groups have been invited, they have been very clear with the media what they are doing, and in certain circumstances some forces could have been more open in the outset. i challenge them on that and they responded. is it in the public interest, given the director—general of mis's speech yesterday that law enforcement look towards protecting the public in a way that is

a cce pta ble the public in a way that is acceptable to the public. the figures advanced today demonstrate lots of problems, but i don't think that means we throw the baby out with the bath water, i think it means we use this pilot to look at the technology and still determine whether or not there is a future for it and not hide and be scared. howdy respond to that, silkie? it is putting people at risk because you have innocent people being harassed by police and put on police databases. there no suggest the police are harassing these people, is there? when people are on this system, they can be asked by the police to produce their ide. has that happened ? police to produce their ide. has that happened? that has happened. and you describe that as harassing? yes, it's a pointless police intervention. this is demonstrating

the enormous risk we are putting the british public act because we are putting authoritarian orwellian surveillance tools on our streets. 0k, surveillance tools on our streets. ok, thank u all of you, i appreciate yourtime, ok, thank u all of you, i appreciate your time, thanks very much. still to come... police in the states charge rihanna's stalker. next... here we have two pairs of trousers — they are the same design, they're both from new look, but one pair costs £19.99 and the other is £22.99. the cheaper pair is a size 12 — the more expensive is a size 18 and £18 or nearly 15% more. angry customers have been criticising the high street brand claiming it has placed a ‘fat tax' on plus size clothing. let's talk to plus—size fashion designer — anna scholz —

who has dressed the likes of adele, dawn french and aretha franklin. also here is plus sized model — nyome nicholas—williams. have new look got this wrong? they need more fabric for larger sizes so they will be automatically more expensive. if you think about fabric with, —— width, on a size 18 the front and go —— the front and back go underneath each other and you have almost doubled the amount of fabric. does that make sense to you? understandable but if new look

is going to sell clothes, they need to sell it at one price. there are clothes targeted atjust to sell it at one price. there are clothes targeted at just plus size women. they are directly for curvy women. they are directly for curvy women so if that is the case i feel like it should be just selling street clothes or selling curvy but don't add any more money. why? it is more material. the it is condemning people and making people feel like you are bigger so you should pay more, it feels like we are being persecuted because we are bigger than the average person. well, the average is size 16. do you accept that? i looked at it as like buying a cup of coffee, there is more in it so you have to pay more for it. it is not as personal as buying a pair of trousers that costs more money. so in terms of people feeling

persecuted, do you get that?” understand it completely, we sell size 16 — 28 so we decided to make all of the clothes the same price so i don't want to, but if i were to have smaller sizes as well i would have smaller sizes as well i would have to price them differently. also, if you go back 30 years in the 19805 when i grew up there was hardly any choice out there so rather than complaining we should celebrate that companies are offering plus size ranges everywhere now. it's not a complaint, that is completely wrong to say. if that is the case, let's keep all different sizes together, let's keep 8—14 separately. some do do that. yes but new look are singling out people who are bigger and it new look are singling out people who are biggerand it is new look are singling out people who are bigger and it is uncalled for. it is very discriminating against people. they do have two separate

ranges. the tall ranges are also more expensive, i am six feet tall, i could be upset i have to pay extra for something longer but i accept it asa for something longer but i accept it as a fact of life. absolutely but i don't agree and that's just how as a fact of life. absolutely but i don't agree and that'sjust how i feel about it personally. it's not something conducive to human beings, we all have basic human rights and for us to be... some people don't choose their size or their height so we don't know what their life has been so to say you have to pay extra money, it is like subliminally saying you need to lose weight. does it make you feel cross? a little bit, it makes me... i would say agitated just because i don't understand the thought behind it because everyone is so concerned with weight. we are all humans, let us pay the same price. do you support the plus size brands who

make plus size clothes just for you? i don't discriminate, but i would support companies who don't discriminate against my size, me being a size 20. so you wouldn't go into new look and a fall if it is more expensive? i don't shop at new look. some are calling for new look to be boycotted, what do you think about that? i think that is extreme. social media shows the fashion hero which i was part of, it is very interesting, we are just looking at more diversity and i don't think anybody should be boycotted because margins are very small and we should support businesses offering something exciting. let me read a couple of messages. caroline in liverpool says i don't think it is a fa ct liverpool says i don't think it is a fact tax, you're paying for the extra tailoring. we have to pay

extra tailoring. we have to pay extra for clothes that fit us properly and they aren't from the standard ranges. that is true, sometimes you have to pay more for the petite sizes as well, don't you? this woman says lees don't reveal my name, i support any retailer charges more for plus size clothing, it ta kes more for plus size clothing, it takes more material and takes longer to make, why should anyone pay more for a smaller size using less material? i also feel it is the same for airlines, if you pay more for extra luggage, what about the same for heavier passengers? the standard is a small frame, but because there is a plus size world

now, i feel like because there is a plus size world now, ifeel like it because there is a plus size world now, i feel like it should just be equal. i don't understand the problem, this is the problem with the world in general with regard to many different topics but this i am passionate about. pete says if i by one point year it costs four quid, two beers eight quid, why should it cost more? it shouldn't. another says isn't it obvious more material used involves extra costs. especially at the higher end of the market, the material is far more expensive than the labour costs so we expensive than the labour costs so we do try to have a jigsaw and mix the smaller sizes with the bigger sizes to make it work together but the fact is there is just more in there and i feel it would be prejudiced to make the smaller sizes pay more if they don't have too. thank you for coming in. next, a man has been charged with

stalking rihanna, he's accused of being in her property wealth she was out. let's get more from our correspondent. yes, police say last week 27—year—old eduardo leon made his way over a fence at property belonging to the singer, she wasn't at home at the time of the alleged incident. police say he got into the house and spent around 12 hours there before being discovered by rihanna's personal assistant the following day. police were called and the man was arrested, taken into custody, charged with vandalism, burglary, stalking and resisting arrest. all of which sounds pretty terrifying. rihanna was elsewhere clearly, what do we know about that?

we haven't had any more comment from her at the moment, all we know is police say the man will be taken and will make an appearance in court next monday. if he is eventually convicted of these offences he has been accused of, he's facing up to six years in prison. ok, thank you. thank you for your messages about plus size clothing and whether you believe it is a fat tax or not. most people are saying it's really sensible, if you use more material then i'm afraid you just have to pay more unfortunately. this from ken. why doesn't a size 12 cost more than a size six? which is a good question. and anna says, i used to make my own dresses, of course you
