in the bbc news coverage of the memorial service for a late us senatorjohn mccain. do stay with this year because coming up next with the national news on bbc one is kate silverton. good afternoon. former us presidents barack obama and george w bush have led tributes at a service for senatorjohn mccain at washington's national cathedral today. the vietnam war hero, who was one of america's most high—profile politicians, died a week ago from brain cancer at the age of 81. our north america correspondent, chris buckler, is outside the cathedral for us now. here to date there have been warm words from friends, family and past presidents. but obvious by his absence is the current president, donald trump. he was not invited and throughout the service he has been tweeting about trade deals and travelling to his golf course. but the family ofjohn mccain will not wa nt the family ofjohn mccain will not want that to distract from the

celebration of his life. for almost four decades, john mccain served inside the capitol building. today, his body was carried from it. today, his body was carried from it. to begina today, his body was carried from it. to begin a finaljourney through washington. the cortege paused at the vietnam memorial. a moment for his family to pay tribute to senator mccain's military as well as his political service. during the vietnam war, john mccain was shot down back as he flew over hanoi. for yea rs down back as he flew over hanoi. for years he was held prisoner and periods of torture and interrogation we re periods of torture and interrogation were to leave him with lasting injuries. as well as a sense of duty. when he returned to america, he rose through the ranks of the republican party, eventually becoming its presidential candidate.

he may have failed in that attempt. but with his sense of public service and duty, he was remembered here as and duty, he was remembered here as a true american. america does not boast because she has no need to. the america ofjohn mccain has no need to be made great again because america was always great. applause. that was every bit as pointed reference as it seemed. although donald trump's daughter and son—in—law attended the service. the current president was specifically not invited. past presidents did pay tribute. wherever john not invited. past presidents did pay tribute. whereverjohn passed throughout the world, people immediately knew there was a leader in their midst. and in that epic life was written the courage and greatness of our country. but for all our differences... for all the times we sparred, i never tried to

hide and i thinkjohn came to understand the long—standing admiration that i had for him. john mccain always believed it was important to reach out to both sides of america's political divide. during this presidency, finding a middle way has become more difficult and the personal politics of this man who never became president feel ofa man who never became president feel of a long gone, less polarised era. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. passengers on northern rail and south western railways are facing problems travelling today because of a fresh strike in a long—running dispute over the role of train guards. it comes after a summer of problems for people using northern‘s services after a new timetable led to widespread cancellations. our correspondent sharon barbour reports. it has been another weekend of disruption for rail commuters across

the north of england. northern rail workers who were members of the rmt staging a 2k hour strike. in a row over driver only trains. it comes after a summer of timetable changes that caused widespread cancellations across the services. today's upheaval is being acutely felt in places like blackpool. it is a big weekend for the seaside town as thousands head here to see the illuminations and britney spears perform in concert. helen runs a small hotel in the time and says it has been a nightmare. the concert and the illuminations and the events go on until ten o'clock at night but the train services finish at seven. how are people going to get home afterwards 7 how are people going to get home afterwards? when we talk about driver operated trains were talking about the driver opening the door instead of the guards but rail regulators say it is a safe system and their position is supported by the government. but the unions

disagree. we believe fundamentally asa disagree. we believe fundamentally as a union but trains are more safe by having a safety critical conductor on board trained and a host of competencies and emergency evacuations and controlled evacuations. some passengers face being stranded in blackpool tonight. i have newborn twins who were crying and another five kids i have newborn twins who were crying and anotherfive kids in i have newborn twins who were crying and another five kids in tow, i have newborn twins who were crying and anotherfive kids in tow, we don't know what to do. boss is going from liverpool to blackpool, but we are going from blackpool to preston so are going from blackpool to preston so hopefully you will be fine. northern rail says the priority is to get people to where they need to go. the rmt says that it intends to go. the rmt says that it intends to go ahead with the walk—out every saturday this month. sharon barber, bbc news. a 21—year—old man has appeared in court charged with the murders of a mother and daughter in solihull. janbaz tarin is accused of killing raneem oudeh and khaola saleem on monday. he was remanded in custody to appear before birmingham crown court on tuesday. it's been revealed hm revenue and customs use a traffic light

system to rate the tax arrangements of people who've been nominated for an honour — according to government documents seen by the times. it's claimed the system has meant some high—profile nominees may not have received awards as a result. our political correspondent, chris mason, reports. a trip to buckingham palace beckons for those who make the honours list. recognition from on high of outstanding service. but how much of a say does the taxman have in who gets chosen? a document obtained by the times sets out a traffic light system used by her majesty's revenue and customs, formerly the inland revenue, to rate the tax arrangements of those nominated. it's good that the press and the information commissioner have now made public what we all knew was happening in private. that the inland revenue will put in an opinion when people have been vetted for honours, particularly higher honours, depending on their tax behaviour.

revenue and customs categorise nominees like this. red for high risk, amberfor those whose tax activity is likely to cause adverse comment and green for those who pose low risk. this is an insight into the checks and balances at the heart of the honours system and, crucially, the moraljudgment that forms part of the case for whether or not someone receives an award. it may also help explain why some people do receive them and others do not. i think it is only reasonable that every precaution is taken by the honours system, that it isn't brought into disrepute. but that should certainly not debar high profile individuals who have achieved an enormous amount in a particular field and also for charity from not being honoured if they have done nothing unlawful. the government says there is rigorous assessment to work out who gets one of these to protect the integrity of the system. chris mason, bbc news.

cricket now and it has been an even day's play in the fourth test between england and india at southampton with england currently leading by 174 runs. adam wild reports. for some, the start of september marks the end of summer. in southampton at may not have felt like that but for this england side this season could be about to change. alastair cook's batting once run like clockwork. of late it appears only in glimpses. if you're not paying attention, you may miss it. his early dismissal has become all too regular and here he was the first to fall. a change in approach, moeen ali promoted up the order, a surprise appearance, just a cameo. others fared better. keaton jennings's play has been questioned and he offered enough to keep the

spirits up. with lunch looming, concentration wavered, jennings was allied with the last ball before the break. if the promised time to regroup, england were immediately forced to rethink. this was the first ball of the afternoon. jonny ba i rstow first ball of the afternoon. jonny bairstow spectacularly dismissed. the last thing england could afford was another collapse. ben stokes survive this one but onlyjust. what the parent needed was discipline and when it mattered most, that deserted them. a moment of hesitation, a moment of panic, joe root run—out. stokes could not last either, england do still have the lead but will it be enough? hannah miles, bbc news. that's it — we're back at 10pm. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. hello. this is bbc news. former us presidents barack obama and george w bush were among mourners at a memorial service for senatorjohn mccain. the vietnam war hero, who became one of america's most

high—profile politicians, died a week ago from brain cancer at the age of 81. president donald trump was not invited to the service at washington's national cathedral. one of the first speakers at the memorial was john mccain's daughter, meghan. my my father was a great man. he was a great warrior, he was a great american. i admired great warrior, he was a great american. iadmired him great warrior, he was a great american. i admired him for all of these things, but i love him because he was a great father. my father knew what it was like to grow up in the shadow of greatness. he did just as his father had done before him, he was the son of the great admiral who was also the son of the great admiral. and when it came time for the third john mccain to become a man he had no choice but in his own eyes to walk in those exact same

pads. he had to become a sailor, he had to go to war. he had to have his shot at becoming a great admiral as they also had done. the paths of his father and grandfather let my father directly to the harrowing hell of the hanoi. this is the public legend thatis the hanoi. this is the public legend that isjohn the hanoi. this is the public legend that is john mccain. the hanoi. this is the public legend that isjohn mccain. this is were all the biographies, the campaign literature and public remembrances say he showed his character to his faith and his endurance in the worst of possible circumstances. this is where we learned whojohn mccain truly was. and all of that is very true, except the last part. today i wa nt to true, except the last part. today i want to share with you where i find out whojohn want to share with you where i find out who john mccain want to share with you where i find out whojohn mccain truly was. it wasn't in the hanoi hilton, it was in the cockpit of a fast illegal fighterjet in the cockpit of a fast illegal fighter jet and it was in the cockpit of a fast illegal fighterjet and it was not on the high seas of the campaign trail, john mccain was in all of those

places, but the best of him was somewhere else. the best ofjohn mccain, the greatest of his titles, and the most important of his roles was as a father. imagine the warrior, the knights of the skies, gently carrying his little girl to bed, imagine the dashing aviator who ta ke bed, imagine the dashing aviator who take his aircraft hurtling into the south china sea is kissing the heart when i fell and skinned my knee. imagine the distinguished statesman who counseled presidents and the powerful singing with his little girl during a rainstorm to singing in the rain. imagine the senator... the fierce conscience of the nations best to stop taking his 14—year—old daughter out of school because he believed that i would learn more about america and the town halls he held across the country. imagine the elderly veteran of war and

government whose wisdom and courage for some of the most distinguished men of our time with his eyes shining with happiness as he gave his blessing for his grown daughter's marriage. you will have to imagine that, but i don't have to because i lived it all. i know who he was and i know what defined him. i got to see it every single day of my blessed life. that was meghan mccain there at the memorial service for senatorjohn mccain. also speaking barack obama. former president barack obama faced senator mccain in the 2008 presidential race. mr obama spoke fondly of the subsequent friendship which blossomed between the two men. much has been said this week about what a maverickjohn was. now, in fa ct, what a maverickjohn was. now, in fact, john was a pretty conservative quy- fact, john was a pretty conservative guy. trust me, i was on the

receiving end of some of those votes. , but he did understand that some principles transcend politics. that some values transcend party. he considered it part of his duty to uphold his principles and uphold those values. john kerry but the institutions of self—government, our constitution, our bill of rights rule of law. separation of powers and the arcane rules and procedures of the senate, he noted in a nation has big and boisterous and diverse as ours, those institutions, those rules and norms are what bind us together. they give shape and order together. they give shape and order to our common life. even when we

disagree. especially when we disagree. especially when we disagree. john believed in honest argument, and hearing other views. he understood that if we get in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy or democracy will not work. as white he was willing to buck his old party at times. occasionally work across the aisle on campaignfinance occasionally work across the aisle on campaign finance reform and immigration reform. that's why he championed a free and independent press that was vital to our democratic debate. and the fact that earned him some good coverage did not hurt either. john understood as

jfk understood, as ronald reagan understood, that part of what makes our country great is that our membership is based not on our bloodline, not on what we look like and what our last names are, it's not based on our parents or grandparents in where they came from or how recently they arrived but on adherence to a common creed. that all of us are created equal. endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. it's been mentioned today and we have seen footage this week ofjohn pushing back against supporters who challenged my patriotism during the 2008 campaign. i was grateful, but i was not surprised. asjoe lieberman

said, it was john's was not surprised. asjoe lieberman said, it wasjohn's instinct. i never saw said, it wasjohn's instinct. i never sanohn treat said, it wasjohn's instinct. i never saw john treat anyone differently because of their race or religion or gender. and i'm certain that in those moments that have been referred to during the campaign he saw himself as defending america's character. not just saw himself as defending america's character. notjust mine. he considered it the imperative of every citizen who loves this country to treat all people fairly. and finally whilejohn to treat all people fairly. and finally while john and to treat all people fairly. and finally whilejohn and i disagreed on all kinds of foreign—policy issues we stood together on america's role as the one indispensable nation. believing that with great power and great blessings comes great responsibility. former

president barack obama and that was a clip of his eulogy at the memorial service for the late senatorjohn mccain. let's take you live now to the national cathedral in washington, the blessing is being received from the right reverend marion buddy speaking at the moment. this is the final few minutes now of the memorial service following on from this we will have the dismissal, there will be some music that will be played by the united states navy band and then the service will eventually drop to a close. let us go forth in the name of christ. thanks be to god. forward, march!

music plays. music plays and so the memorial service for the

latejohn mccain and so the memorial service for the late john mccain is just and so the memorial service for the latejohn mccain is just trying to a close. his casket there is being carried out by a number of pallbearers, all military pallbearers. and there were an additional 15 honourary pallbearers, as requested byjohn mccain. a number of tributes were paid, including by meghan mccain, joe lieberman, henry kissinger, george w bush, and of course barack obama. we will have more of this at 6pm. he is

said to be buried tomorrow in maryland. let's find out what is happening in the world of sport, crossing over to the bbc sports centre. liverpool are one of two teams at the top of the premier league this evening after maintaining their perfect start to the season with a 2—1win over leicester. there was a nervy finish though at after their brazilian goalkeeper alisson, signed for a record fee, gifted the home side a lifeline. as alex gulragani reports. right now, he has every reason to be smiling, a perfect start for liverpool already into their flow. against leicester, that running would continue even with him off target early on. here is one part of the famous directory and read, and while one is firing, the other pick up while one is firing, the other pick up the slack. the final part of that trio wanted in on the act, he

doubles liverpool's lead as the... but they did not make it easy for themselves, leicester group... until they were gifted one. much has been made of liverpool's goalkeeping woes in recent seasons, and allison, the world's most expensive one, showed that he too could have his hopes. gazelle making sure leicester taking advantage, but making his feelings known. liverpool held on, another win. the smile is still there, just. we need to get used to it more. don't play the goalkeeper, have other solutions. i thinkjoe could have shot the ball all the way for sure. and allison could have done it, as well. but that is how it is,

and we are fine with that. he is a fantastic goalkeeper, we will make fantastic goalkeeper, we will make fa ntastic saves fantastic goalkeeper, we will make fantastic saves again. he should have done, but didn't. still smiling, though, isn't he? eden hazard was on the scoresheet in a 2—0 win over bournemouth as chelsea maintained their perfect start under maurizio sarri to join liverpool at the top of the table they were made to wait for the goals to come, pedro with their first, his third of the season with around 15 minutes to go, eden hazard drilled in a second, five minutes from time to seal the win, four wins from four. at the other end, west ham already in trouble losing to wolves, four defeats in four. adama traore with a late winner for his new club since joining from middlesbrough. west ham rooted to the bottom despite around £100 million of investment over the summer following manuel pellegrini's appointment. it's a very bad start, we cannot

lose points here, especially six points that we lost at home. if you don't play well... but here at home, toulouse these six points, we must be very worried. southampton secured their first premier league win of the season with a 2—0 victory at crystal palace. danny ings, who joined the saints on loan from liverpool in the summer, scored the first. pierre hojbjerg added the second in stoppage time. manchester city, just getting under way against newcastle in the late kick off, in the day's other games brighton came from two goals down to draw with fulham. raheem sterling has given them a head up. everton and huddersfield finished one all, with two goals inside two minutes in the first half. who play in the open derby as they

beat hamilton 2—1, aberdeen lost... england have plenty to do if they're to beat india and win their test series against the world'd number one ranked side, as another weak batting display has left them struggling at southampton. 2—1 up and resuming on six without loss in their second innings this morning, they again lost opener alistair cook cheaply, jonny bairstow playing as a specialist batsmen in this test, went for a first ball duck. 92—1; at that stage, joe root and ben stokes appeared to settle things before root was run out two runs short of his half century. he will be bitterly disappointed with that. england's two most

succesful batsmen in this series are at the crease, jos butler has just passed 50 with sam curran also there, england still in the match with a lead of 181 runs and four wickets remaining. kimi raikokonnen produced the fastest ever formula one lap to put his ferrari on pole for their home italian grand prix tomorrow. his team mate sebastien vettel was second fastest as they locked out the front row with championship leader lewis hamilton starting from third. here's nick parrot. some might struggle to remember for reclaiming pole there home rates. sebastian vettel looked confident ending the drought. most were expecting lewis hamilton to provide the main challenge to stopping him, but it took to britain until final succession in qualifying to act pace. the furry garage not too pleased with that, mercedes trying to contain their excitement. but there was one more on the go —— for ari garage. hamilton following his

team—mate, but surprised —— surprisingly, sebastian goes ahead of reckoning. hamilton improved his time, going quicker, as his for ari team—mates beating him. prompting plenty of cheers, and even a few tea rs. plenty of cheers, and even a few tears. it did not go well with sebastian vettel. by ferrari and theirfans will sebastian vettel. by ferrari and their fans will not mind. danny cipriani made his premiership debut for gloucester, his first appearance since he was fined for an incident outside a jersey nightclub. they beat northhampton 27—16. it was an old hand though instrumentral in the victory, billy twelvetrees knocking over five penalties on what is the opening weekend of the premiership. james burford reports. the first saturday of the season,

and a clustered debut for danny cipriani. familiar faces, friends and foes all out on show. and it is almost as though it had never been away, is there a more quintessential premier site them a rolling ball resulting in a dry? but if there was any doubt over gloucester‘s score, there was none for northampton. he provided a lesson in perseverance and teamwork. the game sparked into life. but gloucester hopes they have the brightest light in danny cipriani --. the brightest light in danny cipriani ——. one gay man, already stabbing his control on proceedings. punches aside, the game ended the way it began, northampton's more this way. courtney lawes laying it down. but it was only a consolation, a dream debut for danny cipriani, and gloucester open their campaign with victory. elsewhere, harlequins, under new head of rugby paul gustard, have got their season off to a bang

with a bonus point vicitory over sale. it ended 5123 at the stoop. wasps came from behind to beat worcester by a point at sixways. 21—20 at full time. exeter are leading leicester 111—6 in the days late kick off. it's also the first weekend of the pro 1a, as glasgow warriors beat connacht by 27 points to 26 in the tightest of games. this try from connacht‘s finlay bealham helped the homeside to a 23—17 half—time lead. glasgow fought back in the second half as they looked to get their season off to a winning start and this drop goal from stuart hogg flew through the posts to give the warriors a one point lead. with the clock on red connacht had a chance to snatch victory but this penalty from craig ronaldson smacked the outsaide of the post as glasgow ran out 27—26 winners. —— outside. there was a thrilling match in superleague's qualifiers

at headingley as hull kr beat leeds 38—36. the lead changed hands no fewer than five times, both teams trailed by ten at one stage. craig hall scored three tries and kicked five goals and hull kr came from behind in the second half. it ends leeds unbeaten record in the qualifiers. and roger federerfaces australian nick kyrgios in the third round of the us open. kyrgios beat federer when they first met in 2015 and says he would rather be the underdog than have all the pressure. our tennis correspondent russell fuller is at flushing meadows. as you can imagine, there is a huge amount of excitement here at flushing meadows about the prospect of roger federer against that carry us. of roger federer against that carry us. he needs an introduction, many feel fit and confident... he is trying to win a sixth title after

his most recent trying to new york. they carry us as always making headlines, occasionally frizzed —— tennis. at times he can be almost unplayable. the two have very close meetings in the past, they played 9 cents, eight have been tie—breaks, three of their matches, two of which have been roger —— one by roger federer, . .. have been roger —— one by roger federer,... he was in a very playful mood after his recent victory, the controversy the micro controversial one where he was given a pep talk midway by the umpire. quiz about that and also about his strengths afterwards, he said they are my return, target in cheek, and my unbelievable movements. we can a lwa ys unbelievable movements. we can always expect fireworks when nick is involved. that's all the sport for now. we'll have more at 6:30pm. now it is time for the film review. hello and welcome to

the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is anna smith. it is nice to see you, president of the critics' circle. what have you been watching? we are starting with cold war, taking place in poland and paris and an interesting story of a troubled relationship between a musician and singer. then we are off to sanjose with searching, a missing person thriller told entirely on computer screens. and we have yardie, idris elba's long—awaited directorial debut. let's start with cold war. it looks beautiful.

this is the arthouse choice of the week, if you want to see a quality film. i look forward to the work of pawel pawlikowski. last resort was wonderful. my summer of love, where we first met emily blunt. this is shot in black and white and is the story of a relationship between a musician and younger muse who catches his eye when doing auditions for a folk troupe turing the eastern bloc in the late 405, early 50s. they are separated and come back together over the years and the film follows the progress of their relationship and drops in and out of the tumultuous relationship. there are moments when there is a lot of action in the film. most of the time it is bleak, but this clip gives you a lively sense of the personality of zula. music: rock around

the clock by bill haley. a few too many martinis! she is good at playing drunk. the main actress trained

as a musician and music was her background and i assume this is a reason she was chosen. she ended up on a polish tv competition which is how she gained her fame and this echoes that because she is part of this grim x factor in postwar poland. the action moves to paris and it gets more interesting and lost me a little bit, because i always need to feel invested in a central romance. i need to believe they belong together. she is stunningly beautiful and many people will be falling in love with her, but it is very much from the male character's point of view. maybe that is a reason i was not won over. these are selfish people, who do not help each other in relationships. they make self—serving and mysterious choices. but it is beautifully shot. and a deliberate policy to be black and white,

it is running from the 40s to 605. i walked out of the screening and suddenly the world looks strange in colour. it was evocative. i am interested in the next, an interesting idea. does it work? searching is shown entirely on computer screens. laptops, phones, facetime which has happened before in the horror movie genre, but this is not a horror movie. this is a thriller about a missing child. it starts off giving you a lovely montage of an asian american family in sanjose, who sadly, the mother passes away, and the daughter grows up and goes missing as a teenager and the father is given the task of looking online, trying to find out... looking at her search history, what might be going on, whether she has run away, washing hanging out

with unsavoury characters online? every parent's worst nightmare going through his head. an fbi agent helps to track her down. it was remarkably effective, and you sort of forget you are watching one computer screen in the main. it is like looking over someone's shoulder at something interesting on the computer. does it last for the duration of the feature film? it does. i have seen it twice and it got me both times, first time you enjoy the story, it is a tight thriller. it is not a violent thriller, which is great. there are things that look like jokes, but they are great big clues, so keep your eyes peeled. we must talk about idris elba, people are excited he is turning to directing. i would love to say it is fantastic. it is a so—so one from me,

but he has not done too badly, a solid debut. yardie the book was a cult hit in the 90s when people sold it from record shops and the back of vans. it is about 19705 jamaica and moving into 19805 hackney. aml ameen is terrific in the lead role. we will see in the clip that his character, d, comes to the uk to deal drugs but falls back into family life with his ex—girlfriend and child. ah. that good. i never tink i would feel the sun on mi face again, you know. d, the first time i come this cold place, mi think mi just shrivel up and die. go on, i'll take you back home. yeah, i mek enough money i could buy a house for the tree of you. d. any of them you like by the sea, any of them. d.

come now. this place is not like home at all, but mi feel safe. here? here. i won't go back. not even for by the sea. not even for that. come, we're going home. but i want to stay! mummy has work, vanessa. she can stay with me. by the sea. he—he! decent performances and a nice sense of time and place. i found some of the dialogue a little bit too straightforward and the film relies on drama than clever touche5 all comedy. it is worth seeing and wonderful he has done this. and something we do not see much on film but a long way to go in terms of directing. very much recreating the hackney he grew up in. it is nice on a human level he recreated his life story. and it will go down a storm in hackney, definitely. idri5 elba's directorial debut.

now, best out. i have not seen this. i have seen the trailer. even the trailer, i was slightly cringing. even though kate mckinnon is talented. i would agree because i saw the trailer and thought i was not looking forward to. it is of the few better than the trailer. kate mckinnon is brilliant, from ghostbu5ters. it is mila kunis who finds out her boyfriend was a spy. they go on the run and they have various mi55ions. what i liked about this, they are two women you believe our friends. their characters and relationship drives the film and on that level

a lot of fun and better than you think. that is going on the poster! i suppose that is a fun thing about it. how often do we have two women as the central characters in this style of film? and a female director in the form of suzanne vogel. and dvd? tully will keep you guessing. they worked together on juno, which is the pregnancy one and this is the motherhood one. charlize theron needs a night nanny. and the night nanny comes in and it is about a charismatic nanny that comes in, but what is she up to? is there an element of the hand that rocks the cradle? they are all talented.

that is a winner. that is your dvd for the week if you fancy staying in. nice to see you. enjoy your cinemagoing whatever you decide to see. an interesting week and plenty to go and watch. see you next time. goodbye. for many of us, september 5tarted with 5un5hine. that was the scene acro55 with 5un5hine. that was the scene across the coast of hope in east su55ex, but it was not quite like that everywhere. further west we have seen more in the way of cloud, even the audrey let time5,... with some mi5t even the audrey let time5,... with some mist and merck, some 5pots

even the audrey let time5,... with some mist and merck, some spots of drizzle, quite breezy acro55 some mist and merck, some spots of drizzle, quite breezy across the far northwest, as well. keeping ahold of some clear spells, the lowest temperatures here, but generally most temperatures here, but generally m ost pla ces temperatures here, but generally most places will hold up with temperatures in the figures. scotla nd temperatures in the figures. scotland will see the best of the sunshine, always a bit more clever further west, the odd bit of drizzle and some persistent rain in the parts of northern ireland in western scotla nd parts of northern ireland in western scotland later in the day. temperatures away from the far northwest, they will get up into the 205. it will cool off as we get into the new week, but for most of us, it will be mostly dry. this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 6pm. america joins together to rememberjohn mccain, the former us senator, presidential candidate and vietnam war veteren, at a memorial service in washington. america does not boast because she

has no need to. the america ofjohn mccain has no need to meet made great again because america was a lwa ys great again because america was always great. in the end they get to enjoy one of life's a great gifts. the friendship ofjohn mccain. and i will miss him. misery for northern rail customers, as more than two—thirds of services are cancelled — in a dispute over driver—only operated trains. janbaz tarin appears in court, charged with the murders of a woman and her mother in solihull. also coming up, a traffic light system for honours.
