to be the successor of st peter arrived at knock this morning. good morning. applause. in a brief speech, pope francis extended greetings to the people of northern ireland, and prayed for a continuing commitment to the peace process. and again, he promised to be firm and decisive in dealing with child sexual abuse. well, has has he won the people of ireland back? he certainly spoke very proximately to them, he spoke very simply to them, and i think he has certainly gained the hearts and minds of many people here, which is most important. as he flew back from knock, people were beginning to arrive at what would prove to be the climax of this short visit — a celebration of mass in the vast open space of phoenix park, almost a0 years after the last pa pal visit. it'll be my first time seeing the pope. i remember mum getting ready in‘ 79, but i always thought, would i ever get to see the pope

in my lifetime? this might be my only chance. he wears a white robe, and he has the rosary around his neck, and he's from argentina. not forgetting the hurt and the abuse, that's important that we all remember that. but we're never going to move forward if we don't think of the hope, and pope francis is hope for the church. all ages rushed for a close—up view of the pope as he drove around the grounds for almost 30 minutes. and then, speaking from handwritten notes in his mother tongue of spanish, he asked ireland to forgive the church for its sins. translation: we ask forgiveness for the times that, as a church, we did not show the survivors, of whatever kind of abuse, compassion, and the seeking

ofjustice and truth through concrete actions. given the circumstances leading up to this visit, with abuse scandals of raging from australia to america, this has been a relatively trouble—free trip for pope francis. but the overall message, both in and outside of catholicism, is that the time for talking is now over. and decisive action must be taken if the church in ireland is to thrive once again. six speeches, two internalflights, meetings with the homeless and victims of abuse — 81—year—old pope francis spared little in his effort to engage with the irish people. martin bashir, bbc news, dublin. 0ur correspondent emma vardy has been following the pope's visit. she explained how well it has been received. well, i think pope francis was under pressure this weekend, and we saw him condemning clerical abuse more

repeatedly than ever before. now, a number of people we spoke to who turned out to greet him told us they felt very reassured, that he is sincere and genuine about tackling this issue. but there were also many survivors of sexual abuse who were listening to his words over the weekend who say they still feel a lack of confidence in the vatican's own investigations. and there were some of those survivors who spoke to pope francis directly who said that they still came away from that meeting feeling that the church isn't going to be robust enough with members of its own clergy who have been involved in cover—ups, and said that that will take... it is a culture within the church that will ta ke culture within the church that will take time to change. so i think that, as pope francis leaves ireland tonight, anger is still very high on this issue, and people will be waiting to see what action will follow. well, a little earlier i spoke to amanda ferguson, a freelance ireland correspondent who has been covering the papal visit for the washington post. she explained how she believes the historic trip has gone.

i think that the vatican and the pope will be pleased with how the visit went. i think that, for the devout catholics in ireland who got their once—in—a—lifetime opportunity to be in the pope's presents, it was successful for them, and for the victims of abuse who wanted to draw attention to their plight and their suffering, what they now want is for truth and justice and accountability to flow from the pope. from the people you have spoken to, though, what do they think of the tone, and the many apologies that he gave, and a request for forgiveness? well, you know, i don't think that you can apologise too many times for what has been inflicted on people over the years here. but certainly, from people i was speaking to that were at the various sort of events, at the park, the world, the family festival events, they were very much welcoming that he was making these comments, that he was acknowledging what had happened, and i think that

they two of the trip, the tone shifted more to more contrite, more apologetic than the day before —— day two. for many people it is too little, too late, but i know for some people they at least appreciate that the comments were made, finally. particularly survivors' groups, what are they expecting and hoping forfrom the groups, what are they expecting and hoping for from the pope after this visit? because for them, this is just the beginning, isn't it? yes, well certainly abuse is the sort of thing that you carry with you for your entire lifetime, so the many victims and, you know, across both jurisdictions on the island, what action taken by the vatican, they wa nt action taken by the vatican, they want priests who have been complicit in abuse removed from their roles. they want the release of all the papers that the vatican could release to give them the truth and justice that they seek. so, you know, i don't think... with any kind of abuse, there's never a one sort

of abuse, there's never a one sort of a nswer of abuse, there's never a one sort of answer for everybody. people want different things, but certainly the pressure will be maintained, the pressure will be maintained, the pressure will be still on the vatican, even though the pope's left the island. a number of people are believed to have been killed and several injured after a mass shooting at an entertainement complex in florida. it happened during a gaming tournament in the city of jacksonville, in the north of the state. police say the suspect was killed at the scene. in the last hour, the jacksonville sheriff's office gave this update on the investigation. we just finished clearing the area of potential witnesses, victims, that type of thing. here's what we know from this point. we have no outstanding suspects at this time. no outstanding suspects. we have one suspects, in this case. he is deceased at the scene at this point. he isa deceased at the scene at this point. he is a white male, and we are still working to confirm his identity. we have deceased victims at the scene. we also have injured people at the hospital, and we will release counts. we don't have account for you today, currently. —— a count.

reuters have quoted local media saying four people were killed at that shooting in jacksonville. there have been tributes from around the world and from past american presidents tojohn mccain, the respected us politician, who has died at the age of 81. the vietnam war hero, defeated by barack 0bama in the 2008 presidential election, had been suffering from a brain tumour, and decided to stop treatment two days ago. the former us secretary of state madeleine albright has given us her memories of senator mccain. i will remember him as one of the most valiant, patriotic and dedicated public servants i've ever met, somebody who understood the honour of serving his country, and served his country with honour. i think that, from what i understand, he always was kind of independent minded. he came from a military family, and was at annapolis and any

number of different aspects when he was kind of a rebel in some ways as a young man. and when he served, i think that... and obviously was captured, that his dedication, his understanding of being able to know what he thought and to be brave and firm, so some things that might have seemed kind of renegade each as a young man is something that marked him and make it possible for him to survive five years as a prisoner of war —— renegade—ish. i think that he did rake with his party a number of times, andi did rake with his party a number of times, and i think some of his collea g u es times, and i think some of his colleagues probably wondered why he was doing what he was doing. but i think that the more one studies him and knows the strength of his views, i think most of the time he was doing something that he really believe them, that he had good

reason to do what he did. the british—iranian woman nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe has been refused an extension to her temporary release fromjail in iran. her husband, richard, confirmed she had returned to evin prison after a three—day release spent with her family, just outside of the capital, tehran. she was given a five—year sentence in 2016 and accused of spying, a charge she denies. i have been discussing today's development‘s with nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe's local mp, tulip siddiq. get‘s been a very disappointing day, as you can probably imagine. two days ago i was speaking to richard, her husband, and was overjoyed because this temporary release, or the furlough, as it is known, was very unexpected. we had been putting applications for temporary release for various occasions, whether it was christmas, whether it was a persian festival recently, whether it was for her daughter's fourth birthday on 11june,

it was for her daughter's fourth birthday on 11 june, and it was for her daughter's fourth birthday on 11june, and all of it was for her daughter's fourth birthday on 11 june, and all of them we re birthday on 11 june, and all of them were rejected. all of a sudden she was given ten minutes' notice, three days ago, to say you have been allowed to have three days' temporary release. and they didn't know why, but then in the same vein they have just called her back after three days. her lawyer went to see the people who make the decisions yesterday. he was told that we can't give you a decision today. nazanin‘s case is very complicated. it's very complex, it is not the same as the other cases. come back tomorrow, which was today. he went back today and they said she's back to prison. so nazanin rushed down to her cell, crying and asking if she could stay out a bit longer. they were relentless and said no, you have to go back to prison. she went back home, she got her daughter, who was four years old, who was shivering, ina four years old, who was shivering, in a state of panic didn't want to let her mother go, and went back, and still they stood firm and said, no, you are going back to prison,

with no explanation. but how likely is it, then, that this three—day release could be a precursor to longer periods out ofjail?|j release could be a precursor to longer periods out of jail? i have to be cautious about this, because we have been burnt in this campaign so we have been burnt in this campaign so many times. we were absolutely convinced that she was coming home for christmas. after that huge mistake that our former foreign secretary made, he went over to iran, he spoke to the authorities there, we felt like something had changed. nazanin was going to be home for christmas. her family had put up the christmas tree expecting her to be home for christmas, and she didn't come home then. so in a sense, you can call me a bit pessimistic, but i do feel like we've been burnt by this campaign before, which is why i'm being careful. there is no doubt, though, we can take some hope from the fact that this was the first temporary release she's been allowed into .5 yea rs, release she's been allowed into .5 years, the first time that her husband, richard, actually saw her in 2.5 years on skype. because there

are some mac bear —— because bear in mind she has had no experience is like that in prison. the bodies of two missing fishermen, have been discovered near the wreck of their sunken boat in the north sea. it capsized twenty—five miles off the norfolk coast last night. three other crew members were rescued from a life raft by a passing cruise ship, after their distress flare was spotted. it's not known why the fishing boat sank. emmerson mnangagwa has been sworn in as zimbabwe's president. several african leaders attended the ceremony in the capital, harare, along with tens of thousands of his supporters. the main opposition party, the mdc, boycotted the inauguration, refusing to recognise his victory in last month's election, claiming the vote was rigged. the headlines on bbc news: pope francis apologises and promises firm action on abuses within the catholic church, to a crowd of around 300,000 people at an open air mass in dublin. a number of people have been killed in a mass shooting at a gaming

came from a header, very few saw that coming. and unlikely draw within newcastle's grasp, they were not able to hang onto it. and own goal in the closing moments, disbelief and newcastle and relief for chelsea. through the rain, there remains a buzz around watford. that they start to a top division for a generation against crystal palace, it is easy to see why. this from h0lebas proved the winner, something to cling onto as excitement continues to grow. —— holebas. just one other premier league game to tell you about today, and what a game it was. aleksandar mitrovic scored twice as fulham beat burnley by four goals to two at craven cottage. that's their first win since returning to the top flight. rangers remain unbeaten under steven gerrard, but could only manage a 3—3 draw after a last minute equaliser from motherwell. rangers twice came from behind before the break thanks to two goals

from kyle lafferty on his first start since returning to the club. and they went ahead in a thrilling first half through 0vie ejaria, who is on loan from liverpool. but motherwell rescued the point in the dying moments when peter hartley scored from a corner. in the day's other game celtic beat hamilton 1—0. it's gold for great britain's men at the wheelchair basketball world championships, as they beat the usa 79—62 in the final in hamburg. it's their first global title, and it comes against the reigning paralympic champions. the young british team had lost to their rivals in the pool stages but went ahead early on and never allowed the usa back into it. gb women lost to the netherands in their final yesterday. —— netherlands. the british moto gp race at silverstone has been cancelled because of heavy rainfall. this is the first time since 1980 that a race has been cancelled outright, as a meeting between teams and officials decided against postponing the race until tomorrow due to a lack of available marshals.

lewis hamilton's formula one championship lead has been cut to 17 points after sebastian vettel won a chaotic belgian grand prix. there was a crash at the opening corner, with vettel overtaking the championship leader moments after that before going on to win the race. we ultimately performed quite well this weekend, but he drove past me like i wasn't even they are on the straight. so we have got to keep pushing as hard as we can to try and see if we can catch up, but you know, that is all i can say. there have been three more golds for great britain on the final day of the european para— athletics championships in berlin. aled davies won the men's f63 shot put with a distance of 15 metres 49 centermetres which is a new comptition record. it's double gold for davies as he won the f64 discus last week. there was also gold for great britains thomas young in the men's t38100 metres. that completes the sprint double for young as he won the t38 200 metres yesterday.

quite a weekend for the 18—year—old. great britain added a third gold medal in the final event of the day in the universal 4x100 metres, led home by nathan maguire. that's the 20th gold great britain have won in the championships, second only to poland who top the medal table with 26 gold. we didn't have a medal target, didn't have any real figures in we didn't have a medal target, didn't have any realfigures in my head. i thought let's come out here, as an established athlete, let's come out here and see how we get on. the 20 medals are excellent. we know some of the events we didn't have a lot of depth and we know it doesn't relate to the global stage, but it has been good to cycle. british kayaker lizzie broughton has claimed the first major title of her career with gold on the final day of the canoe sprint world championships in portugal. the 30—year—old won silver over 1000m on friday but went one better

today with gold in the k15000m. broughton is a marathon distance specialist and only began competing in the sprints last year. she enjoyed quite a battle with marnya litvinchuk of belarus throughout today's race, but accelerated away from her in the closing stages. that's all the sport for now. the daughter ofjohn and susan cooper, the british couple who died at a hotel in egypt last week, has told the bbc she's convinced "something in their room killed them." kelly 0rmerod, who was also staying at the hotel, believes her parents didn't die of natural causes. egyptian investigators say no trace of poisonous gas has been found in the couple's room. 0ur correspondent stuart flinders reports. john and susan cooper were on a family holiday at the red sea resort of hurghada when they were both taken seriously ill and died on the same day. their daughter, kelly 0rmerod, who arrived home in burnley this

morning, was with them. at 11 o'clock, i went and knocked on the door, to see whether they were just having a bit of lie in and didn't want to be bothered. as i opened the door, i could see that my dad was extremely ill. he was staggering back to the bed. mum was laid on the bed and i could tell that something was seriously wrong with them. the egyptian authorities say the couple, both in their 60s, died from heart and respiratory failure and that an inspection of their room showed there were no toxic or harmful gas emissions or leaks. tests are now being carried out on food, water and air conditioning at the steigenberger aqua magic hotel, as investigators try to establish how the couple died. their granddaughter noticed something suspicious in the room the night they became ill. mum and my daughter went back to their bedroom. as soon as they went into the bedroom, my daughter said that they could smell something that was a little bit funny, that wasn't right. all they did, really, was spray a little perfume to try and eliminate the smell.

they then fell asleep and my father came back to the room an hour later, and my daughter woke up and said she felt very unwell with the smell and she wanted to come and return to my room. the tour company, thomas cook, says it's looking into every possibility and expects it to be ten days before the results of tests at the hotel are known. this is just a solo investigation which are carried out by our independent experts, in collaboration, of course, with the prosecutors in egypt and we have to leave them, what exactly they are testing. i totally trust that they are testing the right things. john cooper was a builder. his wife, susan, worked at a travel agents in the centre of burnley. she is described as "loyal and long serving" and the shop has been closed for the past few days as a mark of respect. their daughter is still coming to terms with her loss. mum and dad were the best parents anybody could wish for.

mum was fit and healthy, we used to go to the gym two or three times a week and dad was the same, he was an active walker. postmortem results are expected in the next few days, but it could be weeks before kelly 0rmerod is allowed to bring her parents' bodies home. stuart flinders, bbc news, burnley. the us playwright, neil simon has died at the age of 91. simon wrote more than 30 plays, including comedy classics ‘come blow your horn‘ and ‘the odd couple.‘ he was the first playwright to have a broadway theatre named after him, and won the pulitzer prize for drama in 1991 for lost in yonkers. alan dershowitz, lawyer, writer and life—long neil simon fan who has been to see all his plays on broadway, told me why his work had such universal appeal. he was writing about me and about everybody i grew up with. as if we

had our own playwright who was telling our story. writing these memoirs, what we all grew up at brighton beach, every scene was familiar when he wrote the odd couple. it was our friends. familiar when he wrote the odd couple. it was ourfriends. so he was writing about us, it was as if we lived in london and shakespeare somehow had gotten into our neighbourhood and figured out what was making us sick. so it was so personal, yet he had the ability to write for everybody. his plays are seen write for everybody. his plays are seen around the world where there are nojews, seen around the world where there are no jews, no seen around the world where there are nojews, no one from brooklyn, he wrote universally and locally. how did he keep coming up with hit after hit? some people struggle to find one successful formula. maybe he was lucky he lived a miserable early life and that gave them a lot of food for thought. many of his

plays really reflected something that was difficult, his play laughter on the 23rd floor was based on him being in the same writing room with can you imagine, mel brooks, woody allen, these are the greatest writers of comedy probably in modern history, even in the same room on the 23rd floor with them writing with them. that play would write itself. they probably wouldn't have gotte n write itself. they probably wouldn't have gotten anything done, they will probably laughing all the time, or you hope they were. where you see his influence these days after such a long career? he created a new genre. he crated the serious, introspective, urban comedy and many people have tried to replicate that. people like woody allen are very much influenced by his writing. although i think some of his plays what endure, that they are tied

down, i think that his style of writing is in mortal and will continue for many, many, many generations. —— is in more. —— is immortal. ina in a moment we will be looking at the papers. now it's time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins. —— with darren. it has been a daily not on the track not for the beached. it was in south wales where we have the wettest weather, almost two inches of rain. it came from this weather system here. most of the rain on the weather front as lift its way to but weather front as lift its way to but we still have a central and low pressure close to northern scotland. we will keep some rain going here through the rest of the night. around that area of low pressure we have this list to north—westerly

breeze and that will feed in a few more of these showers, some breaks in the cloud, even though it was a cold day for most of us as temperatures shouldn't fall too low overnight, 10— 12 degrees. things are going to get better and it will get better. the week ahead actually shouldn't see too much rain, it shouldn't see too much rain, it should be a bit warm as well. some sunshine, higher pressure over the weekend, that is the key thing here. 0ne—day season a few showers coming into western scotland, northern ireland. they will become fewer through the afternoon, many southern and eastern areas will be dry. still and eastern areas will be dry. still a bit ofa and eastern areas will be dry. still a bit of a breeze blowing through the day, this westerly breeze at at least we will have some sunshine. generally about 19 degrees. much warmer than today across scotland and eastern parts of england and we may get the low 20s in the south—east and east anglia. cloud does tend to break up a bit more through the evening and overnight because pressure is starting to rise once again as that little reach of

high pressure, it is blocking off the speedy movement of that weather from there. this is really slowing down and it really only arrives in the far north—west scotland and northern ireland later in the day. away from here i think it is said to be dry on tuesday. sunny start, cloud builds and spreads out and it will break up later in the day. it will break up later in the day. it will be warmer and that was pushing into eastern scotland, temperatures into eastern scotland, temperatures into the low 20s, mid 20s in the south—east on tuesday. things get a little bit more competent in tuesday night into wednesday. that land of rain pushes into the uk but there are storm is not far away from the near continent, moving across france that threatened to arrive in the south—east for a while. those it should move away. the worst looks like it is out in the near continent, a lot of dry weather into thursday, that weather front from the atlantic would bring much rain and high pressure returns on thursday. not that warm, but 17— 20 degrees, a little bit below par for

the time of year. hello, this is bbc news, with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines: pope francis has ended a two—day visit to ireland by celebrating a mass at dublin's phoenix park. around 300,000 people attended the mass, where he asked for forgiveness for suffering caused by the clergy. a mass shooting in the us state of florida has left several people dead and others wounded. it happened at a video game tournament at an entertainment complex in jacksonville. the british—iranian charity worker nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe has returned to prison in iran following a three—day release in which she was reunited with her family. her husband says a request to extend her temporary release was turned down. tributes have been paid to the us senatorjohn mccain, who has died at the age of 81. former president george w bush described him as a patriot of the highest order.
