welcome to bbc news. the royal family has thanked those who travelled to windsor yesterday for the wedding of prince harry and meghan markle. thousands of people lined the streets to see the couple on their big day, and many more were watching on television — over 13 million on bbc one alone. the wedding celebrations ended with a black—tie dinner and fireworks display at frogmore house near windsor castle. jessica parker is in windsor now. it looks as though much of the atmosphere is still there! yes, so many people have descended on

windsor today, not just tourists, but plenty of local people. i have been talking to people here today who come from the local area and they are keen on the day after the wedding to come along and soak up the atmosphere because of course there are still many sites here of what went on. still quite a heavy police presence, lots of bunting across the tyne. a local councillor was telling the earlier there is 3.5 miles of bunting strung up in windsor. that will start to be taken down of course. the world's media is starting to pack up. still a celebratory atmosphere and lots of people queueing just up the road to ta ke people queueing just up the road to take a tour of windsor castle, because the grounds of windsor castle have reopened. it has been a great event for windsor, great exposure for the town, and lots of people coming here today to just try and geta people coming here today to just try

and get a sense of the atmosphere the day after the big day. the next chapter of theirjourney together begins. after a memorable day shared with the world than by duke and duchess of sussex had private reception at frogmore house. her beautiful aquamarine ring was worn. thousands lined the streets here in winter to catch a glimpse of the bride temp three wearing a pure white boat neck down. then a ceremony noted for its diversity, amongst the usual traditions. a nervous looking prints, gospel choir. a passionate sermon. prints, gospel choir. a passionate sermon. those who do not love do not

know god. more than 13 million people tuned in on the bbc to watch this fairy tale wedding with a modern twist. as the sun set, but kira began. 3.5 miles of bunting needs to be taken down, but people here remain in the celebratory mood and after the worldwide exposure, winter might expect to welcome more tourists than ever. the castle reopened to the public this morning and the harry and meghan effect was clear. we love the royals. everything royal in the states, people go crazy. we want to see even more. it was soon beautiful, the dress, the ceremony. as royal wedding fever subsides, and you focus on a couple that has captured so focus on a couple that has captured so many people's imaginations. the world waits to see what they will do next. lots of speculation as to what will

happen next. we know the duke and duchess of sussex spent the night here last night. they are expected to leave here today. lots of people i'm sure would be hoping to get a glimpse of the royal couple, but i think that is possibly unlikely. after the huge event yesterday, they shared their wedding with the world, perhaps today will be a more private date for the couple and their family. in terms of the honeymoon, we know that they are not immediately going on the honeymoon. we don't know where they are going when they do end up going but we do know that on tuesday there will attend their first public engagement together as a married couple. it will be a charity garden party event in buckingham palace. the designer of the duchess's dress has been speaking today about the inspiration behind the design and the significance of the flowers embroidered on herfive metre train.

i actually hadn't worked with meghan before but she contacted media last year. i had hugely work with a charity so that was something and was very interested in. she did have an idea of what she wanted and in a moment like this when you are designing addressed there are a lot of ideas that go around, but they truly do believe that we work closely together on bringing ideas to the table. she had definitely our vision of what she thought and a very much tried to bring even more to that, so part of the process of that brings you these incredible moments of working together. she is so moments of working together. she is so moderate and fresh and i think that was part of what she wanted to be. i really wanted to represent her, for her to feel incredible in the dress and they wanted her to feel like it was absolutely right for the occasion, too. its things evolve, you talk more about the different aspects of the dress, not only the silhouette on the

proportions, but also the other elements that she wanted to bring in that actually became very critical and important to the whole story with this incredible moment. the veal was a huge part of the conversations that we had early on. we talked about what we wanted to do in terms of trying to embrace some of the royal connections in there. a lot of the work she will probably do in the future will be connected to the commonwealth, so that was something that i really thought could be quite compelling. part of the discussions around the veal were what we are going to do, would it be a border? wouldn't it be amazing if we took the 53 countries of the commonwealth and embroidered flower and some flora and fauna from each one of those and that they would go up one of those and that they would go up the aisle, thatjourney up the aisle with you. she said, i love the story of that. she said that was an amazing moment for her, to have that idea of all of those countries

walking with her through the ceremony. i saw her after the service. she was absolutely radiant. there was just glued to her. you could tell they were so in love in that moment when it had all come together for them and just looked absolutely exquisite. there have been problems on the first day of a major overhaul of rail timetables, designed to reduce pressure on services in and out of london. all trains run by great northern, thameslink, southern, southeastern and the gatwick express are operating to a new schedule. it has already caused delays with some services today not running at all. govia thameslink railway, which operates three franchises, has already had to amend the amended timetables today. it says that there have been some cancellations and delays. here's what they were saying earlier this week ahead of the roll—out. the impact is going to be positive. we have, for the first time in a century, been able to connect people from the north of england to the south of england.

commuters for work, leisure, will be easier without a great deal of transition. it is going to be straight through. we have more trains for commuter journeys because there is a higher demand and, for the first time, we are answering that demand for commuter service. so that was earlier this week. today, however, govia thameslink railway, which operate great northern, southern and thameslink services, has told the bbc that: "as part of the huge logistical challenge of introducing this new timetable, some services are not initially running". they say that they are "working hard to minimise the impact this will have on our busiest trains." they finish by saying the situation "will improve." let's talk to our correspondent angus grawford. this is supposed to be about

improvements, extra train services, new improvements for example at blackfriars station, but there is a downside. it is embarrassing as well when you have a brand—new timetable on the first aid you have to amend it. this goes back to the fact that this timetable bomb is hugely important and the enormous scale. we are talking about 4 million train journeys being changed. we are also talking about the area by memory —— it is primarily affecting, the south—east of england. go via thames link runs most of the services in and out of london. that is 25% of all train services in the country. we have been told that every single one of those trains will change, the timetable will change. this is about getting more trains to go to more destinations and across the capital. before if you wanted go from brighton to london and on to cambridge he would have to change. night tube— trains the go all the

way from brighton to cambridge and vice versa. the problem with that is unique new infrastructure. there has been huge amounts of infrastructure investment, something like £7 billion, 400 nutrients. but there are teething troubles. there are concerns prior to today that this kind of thing that happened, that there would be teething troubles, problems with stabbing. some stage and winners, brighton for example, but royston in hertfordshire, which is very much a commuter station, with loose some of its peak—time trains. there will be wider structural issues and the big test will be tomorrow morning when those millions of commuters are ready on the station platform to come into the station platform to come into the capital, it'll be interesting to see if all of their trains turn up. i suppose that is the key thing. people from all over country will be used to the summer timetable coming in. additional services, some are only services, and changes that are thrown up are usually made in this

week in may, but not on this scale and not with a direct impact on so many passengers. we believe this is the biggest timetable change in peacetime! if you imagine every single train on govia thameslink is changing its time. if few are used to getting up at six o'clock in the morning to get the 6:45am from your station, and it is neither a 6:35am, that could have a huge impact. in other parts of the country, on north nutrients, some changes there. the electrification has changed. there will be fewer services at the weekend on the trans—pennine express —— trans—pennine express. primarily, it will be felt in the commuting belts around london. it could be an interesting day at the mainline stations tomorrow morning in and around southern england. thank you, angus. let's talk now to the travel editor of the independent, simon calder. this is an annual event, but nothing

on this scale. but do you think will be the impact tomorrow? what would be the impact tomorrow? what would be your advice? i have been running around the railway stations in central london since early this morning and i'm afraid it seems to be getting rather worse. bearing in mind that this project was originally known as thameslink 2,000 because it began at the millennium and here we are in 2018, so there has been a better time to prepare for reds. i'm seeing not problems on the so—called thames link corps, thatis the so—called thames link corps, that is the line that these nutrients will be running, but also at mothergate, going up at the hertfordshire from king's cross after cambridge and et and king's lynn, these are lines that are supposed to be relieved by the new trains. the fact that things are going wrong is not particularly

encouraging. interesting following social media, great northern road is saying this is hannah because of an operational incident and people have been saying, tell us what that is! they are saying, we are not privy to the nature of this operational incident. there will be a lot of worried commuters and a lot of people who will be furious because their service has changed for the worse. what about the improvements? a lot of work has been going on in the last couple of years. people think of the huge polluters at blackfriars and london bridge. supposedly this is to be for the benefit of all that disruption they endured. when things settle down, it is undoubtedly going to be a huge benefit. if you are going to have more trains, better infrastructure with lots of the bottlenecks taken out, but more or less guarantees that most people will enjoy a better service. for example, long—suffering commuters in brighton heading to

london victoria have had two years of disruption, partly caused by strikes, part because just by the nature of the timetable. they are going to get faster trains. of course, those trains are faster partly because they are missing out stations and if you are waiting at one of those stations you will be slightly cheesed off. there are a few hotspots, royston in hertfordshire. hardened and are hopping mad because they say one third of rush—hour services are being taken out of circulation. the train operator says, well, that is only between certain hours. if you look more widely at the morning rush hour you will see there are probably roughly about the same. north of that, in wellingborough, and impact of the new thameslink service in the station, which is beyond the thames link area, is affected because the nutrient patterns. if you commute from wellingborough to bedford,

instead of getting a 30 minute train service you will be put on a bus because there will be no rush—hour trains south to bedford. in sussex, lewis is not doing well. they might have the average dreamtime to london of 68 minutes. i have seen timetables from 1912 for the fastest trains are significantly faster than that! simon, thank you so much about. to speak to you. more residents have been rescued from their homes in hawaii as molten lava continues to pour from the ground following the eruption of the kilauea volcano. the latest explosion sent an ash cloud 3,000 metres into the air. our correspondent chris buckler has the latest from hawaii. people are being prevented from getting anywhere close to the area where there are fissures. those are volcanic vents, and they create cracks in the ground, and they are getting ever bigger, and lava is shooting out from them. last night we saw fountains of lava from those vents. the national guard are preventing

people from going into those areas. that means that people have been moved out of their homes, and that has caused all sorts of difficulties. across the road from here, you can see that there is a centre that has been set up. in there, people have got clothes, they are being given food, because there are families who have lost literally everything. not just their houses, but everything inside because it has been destroyed by the lava. with those fissures continuing to grow, that is a real concern for other people. last night, the national guard had to helicopter in to remove some people from their homes, because some people had been reluctant to leave. but they are going to be told that they have to leave for their own safety. the other concern is toxic gases. that is a real fear for people, and many people have already been given masks to ensure that they are all right. but the real concern at the centre of this is the volcano itself.

that has been another violent eruption, and there are fears of other explosions, which is why people are being prevented from getting anywhere near it. if you listen to the radio, you will hear amazing announcements, like the idea that the volcano could spew boulders the size of cars. that gives you an idea ofjust how dangerous this volcano is becoming. the headlines on bbc news: the royal family thanks the public for supporting the wedding of prince harry and meghan markle — after thousands line the streets of windsor to see the newlyweds. a major overhaul of train timetables begins today, affecting half a million passengers. some commuters say its left them with fewer services at rush hour. survivors of terror attacks and relatives of victims sign an open letter calling on the public to help root out extremism. the family of a 17—year—old accused of shooting dead ten people

at a school in the us state of texas have expressed shock and confusion about what happened. the parents of dimitrios pagourtzis said he had been a smart, quiet boy and that they too wanted answers. gary o'donoghue reports from texas. 24 hours on, parents and teachers were allowed back to the scene of the shooting to collect their cars, as the police continued to gather evidence. we've got people with lost loved ones. some of them students, some adults. we are going to pull through this. this is going to be a time for the community of healing. this is the second time in eight months we have gone through tragedy. we had hurricane harvey at the end of last august. and now this. some of the names of those who died are beginning to emerge. one was a 17—year—old pakistani exchange student, whose ambition was to be a diplomat. another, cynthia tisdale,

was a stand—in teacher who loved herjob, according to her son—in—law. she had been married for 47 years. a number of people remain in hospital after the shooting. and according to a statement from the medical authorities, two are still in intensive care. this latest tragedy comes just three months after the killing of 17 students and teachers at the parkland school in florida. that has sparked a nationwide protest movement by young people demanding change. but in washington, beyond the symbolic, the administration seem to have little by way of an answer to the question, how does america stop this continuing to happen? i don't have anything to announce on that front at this point, but certainly conversations are ongoing about the best ways to protect kids across the country. they started the school safety commission, and i know that group has been activated today,

to start that conversation, and starting again in the first part of next week, they have a meeting. local police and the fbi are saying little about their investigation. but in an affidavit, dimitrios pagourtzis is quoted as saying that he hadn't shot students he liked because he wanted his story to be told. it is that story the authorities are now trying to piece together. gary o'donoghue, bbc news, at the santa fe high school in texas. police have charged a man with the murder of an 85—year—old woman whose body was found at her home in romford in east london on tuesday. 65—year—old paul prause was arrested on friday in connection with the death of rosina coleman. he'll appear before redbridge magistrates‘ court tomorrow. the culture secretary, matt hancock, has said the government will introduce new laws to tackle online abuse, including fines for social media companies that could run into billions of pounds. he said the government wanted to tackle the internet‘s "wild west" to make britain the safest place in the world online.

survivors of terror attacks and relatives of those killed have signed an open letter calling on the public to do more to catch those responsible. the widow of fusilier lee rigby and the brother of a man killed in last year's manchester arena attack are among those who have signed the letter. james waterhouse reports. the timing of this letter is certainly poignant. not only is it a year since young ariana grande fans were so brutally targeted in manchester, in an attack the singer recently described as the worst of humanity, it's also five years since lee rigby was murdered as he made his way back to woolwich barracks. it reads... the signatories, including the brother of one of the manchester victims, say it is this hatred we must take on and defeat. we strongly believe that it is well within the power of ordinary people to have a positive effect on how we handle these things.

it really is about reaching out to people who, although they haven't been directly affected, can definitely help us. this appeal is signed by dozens of people affected by attacks, including those in paris at the bataclan, the brussels bombing, and bali. it calls for focus on the honouring the memories of those being killed and not mentioning the names of the killers. there are practical points — to come forward if you know something or suspect a plot, but the core message is simple, to take on hatred wherever you find it. james waterhouse, bbc news. officials in cuba say 100 and ten people are now known to have died in the plane crash near havana on friday. 99 were cuban. three women who survived remain in a critical condition. the boeing 737 was on a domestic flight to the eastern city of holguin when it crashed shortly after take off at havana airport. one of the plane's flight recorders has now been recovered from the wreckage. will grant reports. cuba is in mourning.

two full days of national mourning are taking place for the victims, more than 100 of them, in the island's worst air disaster since the 1980s. amid their pain, people still want to know the full story — how a plane on a routine flight across the island ended this way. eyewitness testimony is beginning to provide some clues, but there isn't a clear picture yet. translation: the plane left the airport, then came to here. it seemed unable to lift, and it came to here, and when it arrived at the house, it turned, it got tangled in the cables, and that is where it fell. now an important breakthrough. the cuban government confirmed it had recovered one of the black box recorders from the wreckage, and potentially vital information as to what caused the plane to come down so soon after take—off. translation: we already have the black box in our possession, and we are searching for the other black box.

the grief and confusion extends beyond cuba too. the plane was owned by a mexican company, and families of the mexican crew and passengers gathered in vain for more information. translation: they do not have any data right now. they are just like us, waiting for more information about what happened. earlier, the cuban president visited the crash site, and promised a full investigation. for now, though, the emphasis is on supporting the victims‘ families, and praying that the survivors, just three of them out of 110 people, pull through. cuba has experienced air disasters in the past, but none this bad for decades. the questions are already being raised about the reliability of the rest of its air fleet, much of which dates to the soviet era. for a new president who only recently took over power

from raul castro, this represents his first real test as leader. will grant, bbc news. a new tougher mot test has come into force today to try to improve air quality and make roads safer. there will be tighter smoke limits, new fail categories and a number of components tested for the first time under the new regulations. our business correspondent joe lynam reports. it is the annual car health check that we all have to do, and some dread. standards are being raised from today, to keep deficient vehicles off the roads. among the new reasons to instantly fail an mot test include underinflated tyres, the engine management light being on when you turn on the engine, and this showing up, or the reversing light not working at all. and if you have a diesel car with a special filter, you will fail if there is any smoke coming out of your tailpipe.

on top of that, there will be a new "dangerous" category, meaning your car will not be allowed back on the road. our priority is to make the roads safer, so we are making changes to two areas. we are changing some parts of the content of the test, but also changes to how we present the information to motorists, to help them look after their cars. an mot test is hoped the new rules will remove inconsistencies about why a car may pass or fail. for us, a lot of the subjectivity is being removed. the testing service we use to create mots is largely far more prescriptive now than it has been before. the good news is that our cars should be safer, thanks to the new mot test. the bad news, initially, is that more cars are likely to fail. now the weather with nick miller. england and wales saw the lion's
