said it had been important to the duchess that a british woman was behind the dress, and she worked closely alongside her on the design. our royal correspondent daniela relph has more. it was the big reveal, the first sight of the wedding dress. and behind the bride, straightening the five metres of veil, is clare waight keller, the british designer of the dress. she had kept fashion‘s big secret. givenchy was not widely rumoured to be the fashion house to win the coveted project. the aim was to always design a dress that was simple, sharp, and timeless. i think with meghan, she's so modern and fresh and i think that is part of what she wanted to be. it really wanted to represent her. i wanted her to feel absolutely incredible in the dress and i also wanted her to feel like it was absolutely right for the occasion as well. forfive months, the dress was made in paris by a small team of people, many of whom who did not even know who the gown was for.

all of those who worked with the bride yesterday described her as relaxed and unfazed by the scale of the event ahead of her. most beautiful moments. she is just so easy on that level, a loose kind of style and easy and not contrived, so. the wedding is likely to be one of the most watched tv events of the year. a peak audience of 13 million watched the bbc coverage. it is thought more than a billion watched globally. after sharing so much of their wedding day, the evening reception was a private affair. the couple drove through the grounds for a black—tie party nearby. the bride wore a new piece of jewellery, an emerald cut aquamarine ring, a gift from her husband. it had come from the jewellery collection of his mother, diana, princess of wales. the fireworks over the castle last

night, one of the few clues as to what was happening inside. further hints came via social media. tennis player serena williams posting this video of herself en route to the party. the duchess of sussex now has her own page on the royal family website. she describes herself as a feminist. the new duke and duchess of sussex will carry out their first public engagement as a married couple on tuesday. they will attend a garden party here at buckingham palace to celebrate the work of charities supported by the prince of wales. this afternoon, the bridal bouquet was laid on the grave of the unknown warrior at westminster abbey, a tradition dating back almost 100 years, after what was the most modern of royal weddings. passengers in several parts of the rail network have been affected today by disruption after the introduction of new timetables designed to reduce congestion. those using great northern trains

have been complaining of cancellations and problems have also been reported on thameslink and southern trains. the operators of the lines have said they're working to minimise problems caused by the "huge logistical challenge" of the changes. sophie long reports. this service will remain... it is the biggest shake—up to services for a generation. more than 4 million trains across britain have been rescheduled. arrival and departure times for all trains run by southern, great northern, thameslink, and gatwick express changed today. the plan is that services will be more frequent and more reliable but some passengers are saying theirjourneys will no longer be possible and they are dreading the expected disruption in the next few weeks as trains and crews are redeployed. emily lives in harpenden, a growing commuter town that relies on rail links with london. the train she normally catches every morning will no longer run. so how is this a major impact on your life?

the next few weeks i had to arrange for extra childcare and it is a tight squeeze in the morning to drop off my kids, get to the station and get into london. i cannot take the risk going forward whether or not i will actually get on a train. it is notjust about the extra cost of childcare, it is letting my children down. i work five days a week in london and my time with my kids is really precious. she is not the only one who is furious. it is appalling, we are paying £4,000 a year for better services and we keep hearing that our services are being transformed but they are being transformed for the worse so we are very angry about this and we will not take it lying down. one of the train lines involved is already experienced teething problems. all of the new trains running through are cancelled today.

the company that runs the trading lines involved says they are facing a significant logistical challenge as they make rolling incremental changes across more than 3000 daily services. they apologised to customers for any inconvenience caused during the initial changes of the timetable change. tomorrow morning will be the real test. if past experience is anything to go by, i suspect it will be pretty grim. it is fair to say a lot of people are not looking forward to their morning commute. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are the political correspondent at the financial times, henry mance, and the associate editor of the times, anne ashworth. the bbc understands that chelsea football club's owner roman abramovich has experienced delays in renewing his visa for the uk. the russian billionaire didn't attend yesterday's fa cup final at wembley when chelsea beat manchester united.

his office said it doesn't discuss personal matters with the media. but a source close to mr abramovich suggested he was in the process of renewing his visa and said it was taking a little longer than usual. reports suggest his visa expired last month. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford has been following the story closely and speaking to people close to mr abramaovich. someone very close to the billionaire told me that his visa expired three weeks ago. he has been trying to renew it, and it is taking a little longer than usual. that has meant that he missed the fa cup final yesterday. his private boeing 767 left britain on april the ist, it has since been going to moscow, monaco, to switzerland, to new york, but it has not returned to the uk. he does not seem to be able to come back here at the moment. this is a man who has been regularly attending chelsea home game since 2003. he had got a huge mansion on britain's most expensive street, kensington palace gardens, and when we asked the home office

what is going on, we got a statement from the security minister, not the immigration minister, saying they don't routinely comment on individual cases. so, it does look as if it's possible that this is somehow linked to the deterioration in relations between britain and russia in the aftermath of the poisoning of the skripals, but it could stilljust be some kind of unexpected red tape. police investigating the death of a woman in barnsley in south yorkshire have launched a murder investigation. officers were called to union street yesterday morning. a post—mortem has revealed that the woman died from injuries from a very severe physical attack. the woman has been identified as 42—year—old claire louise smith from the barnsley town centre area. a man believed to be in his twenties has been stabbed to death in mitcham in south—west london. police were called in the early hours of the morning to the scene between upper green east and montrose gardens. a man in his forties has been arrested on suspicion of murder and officers are yet to formally identify the victim. more than 60 people have been murdered in the capital so far this year, of which more than half

have been stabbings. a looming trade war between the us and china has been put on hold according to the american treasury secretary, steven mnuchin. he told fox news that both countries had agreed to drop their threats to increase tariffs on each other‘s goods while they work on a wider trade agreement. we are putting the trade on hold, so right now we have agreed to put the ta riffs right now we have agreed to put the tariffs on hold while we try to execute the framework. the president has been very clear since the first meeting with the chinese president that we will reduce the trade deficit. we have an agreement with china that they will as substantially agree to it. our business correspondent, joe lynam explained that china's offer to buy more american agricultural and energy products wouldn't really help us manufacturers. president trump was elected in those parts of america, the rust belt,

etc, that physically make stuff and they are not making as much of it as they are not making as much of it as they used to do and what he wants to do is show them he is having a cronk creaked win. do is show them he is having a cronk crea ked win. it do is show them he is having a cronk creaked win. it will be a political win for creaked win. it will be a political winfor him creaked win. it will be a political win for him and the markets will react quite well, but i am not sure it isa react quite well, but i am not sure it is a solution to the problem. america does not make the stuff that china wants to buy, but american seamers definitely want the stuff that china exports, so it is a consumer led thing. what will the americans do? will they make it more expensive for their consumers? this is the only way it could work. if you impose tariffs that had been due to go into force tomorrow, you impose those tariffs on china and other countries and it makes it more expensive for consumers to buy those products. donald trump has called for an investigation into whether thejustice department spied on his 2016 election campaign for political purposes. the us president wrote on twitter, "i hereby demand,

and will do so officially tomorrow, that the department ofjustice look into whether or not the fbi/doj infiltrated or surveilled the trump campaign for political purposes and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the obama administration!" on hawaii's big island more people are being urged to leave their homes as fountains of lava from the kila—way—a volcano continue to break through the ground in residential areas. dozens of buildings have already been destroyed. several of the fissures from the volcano are still growing, as our correspondent chris buckler reports from the island. the lines of fire that scar this island are getting longer and thicker. and fountains of lava are bleeding through the cracks. the kilauea volcano is slowly eating through the ground, it once created. we're 3000 feet above the ground and you can actually feel the heat of the lava and can smell the smoke.

as the lava has risen up, people have been warned to leave if they live in its path. at this shelter they are offering food, clothes and help for those who have had to evacuate their homes. but there are families who already have nothing to return to. the house burned down saturday. so you have lost your house? oh, everything because we got nothing out. i have three t—shirts and three shorts, so everything we have now has been donated or we have been buying. how do you feel at this point? scared, frustrated, worried. i have two kids to worry about. where are we going to go from here? where are we going to rebuild from here? we lost everything. upset is all too easy to see in this corner of hawaii. roadblocks are keeping people from returning to their homes. often for their own safety. we actually had four residents who were inside the evacuation zone,

but they got cut off by a lava flow and they were not able to drive out. so they actually had to be airlifted out one at a time by the county fire department. and all the time, kilauea volcano continues to threaten. for days this has been the spectacular sight on the skyline lava spurting into the air and you can even hear it from this distance. people nearby say that their homes have been shaken because of the force of the eruptions. we have to be ready to go with our bags packed and masks nearby. and our masks nearby. and if the air quality gets bad, or the lava gets closer, we will go. all the indications are that the eruptions of lava are getting stronger and more violent. kilauea has left parts of this island so often promoted as a paradise, looking more like hell. the headlines on bbc news:

on friday had received prior safety complaints — that's according to two former pilots. one hundred and ten people are now known to have died in the plane crash near havana. ninety—nine were cuban. the boeing 737 was on a domestic flight to the eastern city of ol—geen 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 also 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. the family of a seventeen 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. 2a 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 her job, 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. the main opposition candidate in venezuela's presidential elections, henri falcon, claims there have been voting irregularities. voters are expected to choose president nicolas maduro

for a second six—year term despite polls showing he is blamed for an economic crisis that's led to food shortages, rising crime and hyperinflation. he was one of the first to cast his vote, saying the will of the venezuelan people would be respected. katy watson reports from a polling station in caracas. there are four candidates in this race, first mr mcdougall who is running for the second time and the other one is henry alcon. he is up against some challenges because the government sees him as a traitor for switching sides, but also because he has broken from the opposition in running for this race. the opposition said they would not be free orfairand opposition said they would not be free or fair and they decided to boycott the vote. but mr farrakhan said the only way is to take part. but many people are disillusioned,

especially people in the opposition. they feel voting will not get them anywhere and most people voting will be pro—government. motorists now face tougher mot tests on their vehicles, as an updated test introduces new categories under which a vehicle can fail or pass. the categories include "dangerous", "major" and "minor" which determine whether a car, van or motorcycle must be taken off the road or can be driven as long as repairs are carried out. the mot will also be tougher on diesel emissions. drivers in newcastle were divided on whether the plans would help to keep road users safe. i think if they brought it in gradually, but all of a sudden, straightaway, i don't think it is a good idea. some people are going to be caught out, without even realising. if you are a taxi driver, for arguments sake, you could do for argument's sake, you could do 1000 mile a year, that car has done more miles in two years than a lot of cars do in a lifetime. so you think it is a great idea?|j

think so you think it is a great idea?” think it is a great idea. i think it is a great idea. military bomb disposal experts have been on a west sussex beach all day dealing with a thousand kilo world war two german sea mine which was found there yesterday. a big section of elmer beach near bognor regis has been cordoned off, and the walkers, swimmers and sailors kept away from the area. when some dog walking friends spotted this imposter in the shallows, they wasted no time in sizing up the threat. from the shore, as it were, is looked like a huge tank, but the closer you get, you can see that there is a mechanism, and it has got a nose on it, so it is quite clearly a weapon. so we backed off. the beach at elmer was cordoned off while the bomb disposal teams worked out how to deal with what they had identified was a 6—foot long, 1000 kg anti—ship mine, dropped by parachute during the second world war. it has systems within it that will make it detonate, it also has safety protocols in it which will desensitise it and sterilise the munition after a period of time. however, looking at it, you can't

tell of that has worked or not. tell if that has worked or not. so you have got to treat with the utmost respect and assume that it is live worst case. overnight, people in houses fronting the beach were told to speak the beach were told to keep at the back of their homes, and to keep windows open in case of an explosion. at one point we were considering a huge evacuation of people from their homes and we realise the impact that would have had. thankfully, we negotiated, we worked at the best possible advice, and that advice was given to those most at risk and thankfully, no one's been harmed. today, when tidal conditions were right, the mine, supported by a yellow flotation device, was towed a safe distance from shore, where it can be exploded safely. this evening, a controlled but dramatic end to this world war ii drama. more now on the royal wedding. dress designer claire waight keller says she worked closely with meghan markle to create the look for the special day.

i actually had not worked with meghan before but she contacted me late last year and i hugely admired her work with charities and i was very interested meet her. she did have an idea of what she wanted and of course in a moment like this when you're designing a dress, there is a lot of ideas that go around but i truly do believe that we worked very closely together on actually bringing ideas to the table. she had definitely a vision of what she thought and then i very much tried to bring even more to that and so part of the process of that brings you these incredible moments of working together. she is so modern and fresh and i think that was part of what she wanted to be. i really wanted to represent her, and wanted her feel absolutely incredible in that dress and also wanted her to feel like it was absolutely right for the occasion as well. this is the more or less the final designs. obviously, it shows very much a clean silhouettes,

obviously, it shows very much a clean silhouette, the very meticulously placed seems. i think, part of the simplicity and modernity of this dress is the fabric, the fabric was in a double silk, and this gives you this incredible shape, and the cleanness and the sharpness that we really wanted to create for this look. from here, you can see the sort of flora and fauna around the veil. here it is centred at the very end of this beautiful bouquet, but every single aspect around here is not repeated. time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. at the main exception is northern ireland and western
