our reporterjo currie was at the match. altrincham football club is looking a little more colourful than usual this afternoon and it was a scene also reflected in the changing room with these specially designed one off rainbow shirts taking the place off rainbow shirts taking the place of the team's usual kit. it's on the support of football against homophobia. a simple idea but one that has seen the club go viral. homophobia. a simple idea but one that has seen the club go viralm shows how much work we have to do. something being done at this level bya something being done at this level by a club like ourselves has resonated around the world. the club has sold 250 shirts with proceeds going to charity. i am part of the lg bt going to charity. i am part of the lgbt community and i have come to games with my partner for years so homophobia still exists in football and anything we can do to stamp it out as a great idea. in football, it is one of those subjects that is not

approached much sol is one of those subjects that is not approached much so i think it is really great to support. altrincham believe they are the first senior clu b believe they are the first senior club anywhere in the world based on the lgbt flag. they hope this move will help encourage other teams to help support the football against homophobia message. it may be one small gesture by one club but it represents a much bigger ideology. that football really is for everybody. cloudy skies for many of us today after the recent sunshine but for england and wales as we go through the night, what cloud there is will tend to clear away into the north sea but they will be cloudy northern ireland and western scotland. patchy rain initially but heavy burst developing later in the night. an increasingly windy night but a mild night, starting sunday in double figures in northern ireland. some outbreaks of rain move east on sunday goes on. plenty of sunshine

across eastern and central areas, cloud will increase but notice what rain is left from this weather system tends to fade away as it travels east across the us —— the uk. it is going to be windy, dusts in western scotland could be up to 50 mph orso, in western scotland could be up to 50 mph or so, and in western scotland could be up to 50 mph orso, and it is in western scotland could be up to 50 mph or so, and it is going to be mild, particularly across eastern areas where you will get to see some sunshine. hello, this is bbc news with vicki young. the headlines: the regional airline flybmi has announced this evening that it has ceased operations and is filing for administration. all flights have been cancelled with effect from today. thejustice secretary has said the government's main priority has to be the safety of the public when considering the case of shamima begum. the funeral of the footballer emiliano sala, has taken place in his native argentina.

portugal. so i'm from somalia and my partner's from ghana and my other partner is from morocco. my somali heritage, going back home, i wouldn't be considered fully somali. being here in sweden, i'm not really considered swedish. personal question, i know. but for some, it's very political. look at the islamization of our country. there is a lot of morrocan scum in holland who makes the streets unsafe. you have to integrate — that was one of the most things i heard on the news. integration, integration, integration, integration. and i ask, what does that mean? growing up with the values of immigrant parents in a country where support is growing for anti—immigration parties isn't easy. so i wanted to find out if europe's changing political mood is affecting the way young people of african heritage are defining home and celebrating the culture they've been raised with. our parents came here, right? we were born here.

somali for me is not the same as it is for my mother. they just want their own culture. this is it, this is final. everything else is different, you know? go back to your own country. this is african diaspora diaries. my name is daniel henry, i'm a bbc africa reporter. east london is home for me, it's where i was born, it's where i was raised and crucially, it's where i get my hair cut. good to see you. but if we're talking about going "back" home, that's barbados and st lucia where my family comes from. it's always fun going back, but as i get older, i realise how special those trips were and it made me think, what if you've never been able to visit your country of origin because it's a place your family left to keep you safe? how do you celebrate the culture of a country that you've never seen? where you're from, you're not going to forget where you're from,

and how you are raised you're not going to forget how you are raised. all you're going to do is when you get to the new place, you're going to add that to what is already you. you've got to deal with this place now which is not the place where you've come from, and you've also got to fit in. so you've got to deal with it. but how? i headed to amsterdam to find out. hussein suleiman is the co—founder of a clothing line called daily paper. it's where i live... he was born in somalia and his family arrived in europe when he was a little boy. they are close to 2 million people in the netherlands with parents that emigrated to the country and call it home. so i'm from somalia and jefferson, my partner is from ghana. abderrahmane, my other partner is from morocco. blending those cultures like amsterdam and like our african heritage together, that is literally the daily paper. daily paper is a reflection of the three founders. can you show me what it means? yeah, definitely. hussein has never been back

to somalia, but he finds ways to show his connection to the country through his clothing. what is it about that logo do you think represents? it's actually the masai shield. the masai is a nomadic tribe, wherever they go is their home. so we have the same feeling. you relate to that? we relate to that. we're going to make him look extra pretty. ready for appelsap. ready for appelsap, what's that? appelsap, it's a music festival. today? yeah, today. yeah, as a festival, it's been going on for more than 15 years and one of my favourites. are you going too? yeah for sure, are you coming? all right, yeah.

appelsap is literally like everybody from amsterdam and outside of amsterdam that loves hip hop culture that come together. what does this festival mean to you? why did you bring us here? daily paper got big around the same time dutch hip—hop became big in the netherlands, and one of the first supporters were people from the hip hop industry, they were the first people to really embrace daily paper as a label and yeah, they brought it to mass popularity in this country. it's been said a lot of time, hip—hop connects people. it brings so many different cultures together, and if you look around you at this festival, this is the embodiment of that. and they're also telling our stories. a lot of the lyrics,

what they talk about in their lyrics a lot of times are our stories. who is here do you think who does that? i like yung nnelg. right. i like him, he's dope. he's an artist from amsterdam south east. just the way he makes his music... 0h, bleep, that's him right there. that's him right there, that's him. with the rugby shirt? with the rugby shirt. should we go and say hi? hi, yung nnelg. pleasure to meet you. i was just talking about you. no, we really were, we really were. he asked me what kind of music do you listen to and i was like yung nnelg. and there you are. here i am. tell me about people, the musicians like you of african descent who are making music here in holland. what kind of stories are you telling? 0k, basically, i try to tell the story of where i come from and what my environment has

taught me, like the norms and values that i got from my home, from my parents which are ghanian, and then like implying that with this dutch culture type of wave which we are in right now, just combine those things together and that gets me. that's what i am. i know you're are going to go on the stage real soon, so i'm going to let you go. really good to meet you, brother. thank you. it's really interesting walking around this festival and you see all of these artists of african descent who are headlining, all of these people who are running the show and then at the same time, you walk around and you see people who are wearing the clothing, the brands, the prints, that hussein and his team have been putting together for years and it's as though holland, or at least this part of amsterdam, has reached a point where to celebrate being of african descent and to celebrate being dutch

at the same time, that people here are comfortable with that. at appelsap, you can wear what you like, but that's not true for everyone in amsterdam. last year, the dutch parliament announced the ban on wearing the full islamic veil in some public places. and this man campaigned to make it happen. look at the islamization of our country. there is a lot of moroccan scum in holland who makes the streets unsafe. the people want to be in charge again, it's not only america first, it's also holland first and that is what i try to accomplish. some people say you are a bit of a fascist. well, don't listen to those people. that is totally untrue. geert wilders leads the freedom party, the second largest in dutch politics and they called to ban the quran and shut down all asylum centres. ideas like that would make life even more difficult for hussein and his family.

when they left somalia, they claimed asylum in the netherlands. hussein was two years old. when i caught up with him at his favourite coffee shop he told me it's a part of his life that he hasn't forgotten. before we actually lived in our own house, we lived in a, how do you call this, like a asylum—seekers centre and i think around that period, we had a lot of refugees coming in from bosnia, serbia, around that area, and we used to live in the city which was outside of amsterdam in a big centre and i had a great time, because i'm young, i'm a kid and everybody around me are kids. when i think about it now with my adult mind... that place was really bad, actually. it was kind of like a prison. we still did not go back to somalia, and that is still something that... i think it's quite difficult.

would you like to go? i would definitely like to go... but... at the same time i like to go but at the same time i don't because at the end of the day, we are always looking for a place that you can really call home, right? eventually his family made a life in the netherlands. despite all he has achieved, he says that he is reminded that for some, it will never be enough. for me, growing up and always thinking that i need to forget my culture where i am from, that is what everyone tells you, you have to integrate. that was one of the most things i've heard on the news, integration, integration, integration. what does that mean? what does that actually mean? so, basically, whatever

i had, i must strip that off and go become you. when i keep hearing this kind of talk from politicians, from all of the world, not just the netherlands, all of europe, the united states, everywhere, i keep hearing this and i'm like, 0k. should i actually spend my time and energy trying to tell them to chill? or should i just accept the fact that a lot of these kind of, rhetoric comes from ignorance because they don't want to know about other cultures. they just want their own culture, this is it, this is final. and everything else is different, go back to your own country. hussein won't let his place in the netherlands or his connection to somalia be defined by people or politics. his co—founder, jefferson, agrees. he refuses to let others dictate what it means to be a young black man in the netherlands. i noticed it a lot from the sudanese demographic in holland.

back in the day, they used to tease a lot of people from african descent, you are like a smelling fish in sudanese language, they were used to teasing ghanians, nigerians, while not knowing they're from the same continent. because of all of those people teasing ghanians, some people were even afraid to say they were from ghana, they would pretend they were suranimese just to be accepted amongst them. or they would have like dark skin, light skin complexities, you know. for me, it was always like, how can you be ashamed of where you're from, you know? we can't deny it, we live in a multicultural society so you have to be open for new things. it was funny during the world cup, you have some moroccans playing for the morocco team and a lot of dutch people were wearing moroccan jerseys and they rooted for morocco.

so seeing something like that, i am very happy, i'm like 0k, we are getting there, there is some positive things going on. so yeah, i feel like people are getting more open and i feel like the new generation is going to definitely make a difference. cherrie is a star in scandinavia whose family story starts in somalia. she runs her own record label and she has put out some big hits, like this one, that includes a shout—out to somalia's capital. hip hop music. when her family moved to escape the civil war, they headed to europe, first norway where cherrie was born and then finland before eventually settling in sweden. around 280,000 somalis live in europe with sweden accepting more refugees in proportion to the size of their population than any other european country. cherrie's family have made a home here but her mum remembers

the life they left behind. when you decided that somalia was no longer safe and to move from there to northern europe, do you think, looking at what your children do now, the opportunities you have now, do you think it was worth it? i think i can answer that. a lot of somalian parents in europe and america and the diaspora, aren't really too happy to be living here. really and truly. i think they are happy for us, but they know what they had to leave behind, a whole country that we loved that's war—torn. and we know what it used to be and how much better and how much of a paradise it used

to be, so obviously, there's a lot of hurt there for somalian parents. but knowing the opportunities they made for their children, they are very happy for it, but there is definitely a bittersweet feeling to it. cherrie has never been to somalia. i was there or there... most of her friends and memories were made here in the swedish suburb of rinkeby. hi. good afternoon, i'm daniel, nice to meet you. one of the best that we have here. this is like rinkeby‘s angel. he has looked after us since i was a baby. what stuck out when you first met and she came through? just like all the kids, but she seemed more lively,

more happiness, you could see that she was going to be a leader. so important to not only have her but have more of her. because it is tough — like living here in rinkeby is so tough and it is so hard for some people to see what we are doing that is good. so you have to do something better than good, than what other people do on the other side for them to accept you. and she was among the ones who always fought to do something right, the best. there are lots of artists, they can sing. you can't learn nothing from what they sing. she is among the ones that can sing and you can learn something from them and when the kids see her, they feel that this is something that we can learn from. and that is so important.

she is here and i will never ever remove her from here. she is the best. thank you so much. families from all over the world live here. some have left countries of war to find peace. but some politicians have had enough. there is a connection between immigration and crime. when you look at rape, for example, there a very close connection for some immigrants from some countries like northern africa, the middle east. that's the leader of the sweden democrats speaking in 2010. fast—forward to the 2018 elections and he has a new message to go to the new suit as he redefines his pitch for sweden's voters. it was racism from the beginning but he has gone in front and changed that. too many immigrants.

we should take care of those were here already 20 years and they cannot speak any swedish. when cherrie's family arrived, the sweden democrats were a fringe group. but they picked up support in the 2018 elections and now a far right party with origins in neo—nazism is the third largest in swedish politics. when i caught up with cherrie at her studio, the votes hadn't been counted yet. but she knew why the message was going mainstream. i think it's a thing of people of the world not learning from past mistakes and what the older generation had done before us. before us, it was the turkish and it

keeps on going like that and we came in the early 2000s, we came in a lot because of the war and everything that's been going on. and in the beginning, they don't know how to speak swedish, they can't get anyjobs, you know, and now you see like most of them — the lyricists are somalian and other people actually are doing a lot of stuff and people like me in music. hip—hop wasn't huge at all in sweden just a couple of years ago. but then somalis came into the mix, you know. we are just really cool people but that's what it is, people just hate whatever is unknown, for instance, as a woman of somali heritage, going back home,

i wouldn't be considered fully somali. and being here in sweden, i'm not considered swedish. but i feel like both, but not fully, if that makes sense. because i've never been to somalia and i definitely don't feel swedish, and i don't look swedish. so there's always been a sense of uncertainty because of that. i don't have any roots like that anywhere and growing up, if you don't have that, that will confuse you. hip hop music. really and truly, just because we come from different backgrounds, the culture that have been a part of is the one in rinkeby where i've grown up amongst chileans and kurdish, turkish, iraqi, gambian, eritrean and ethiopian, somali, where i ate their food and spoke their languages and i feel

like that's the culture that represents me the most. it came out of nothing, it came out of unity. she sings. so, i can make music that represents young somali girls all over the world, but also that would hopefully give a better understanding to the older generation, our parents, and grandparents, a better understanding of what we go through. because our parents came here, right? we were born here. so we have different...experiences of what it means to be a refugee in sweden, or what it means to be somali. somali for me is not the same

as it is for my mother. she's been there, she knew it when it was peaceful, you know? i've heard stories about it but i'm never going to be able to know what it was. i didn't expect to see you back so soon! because i went to barbados and st lucia so often, i thought that everyone did that, that everyone that was of caribbean or african descent just automatically went back. but seeing these guys, it showed me that even if you haven't had the opportunity, there is still a way to create that connection and to express that connection. cos that is a part of who you are. yeah. music plays. it has been bad news for weekday

workers hoping the sunshine would continue into the weekend. here is the view from wiltshire earlier. but parts of the midlands and northern england fared quite well with the sunshine. most of us will see sunshine. most of us will see sunshine at some stage on sunday, though there is a weather system that will move east and they will be a chance of seeing a bit of rain, this area of low pressure will bring that cloud east tomorrow. cloud from today will tend to clear through the night, moving northwards and pushing out into the north sea. a lot of cloud in northern ireland and into western scotland, outbreaks of rain will pep up, along with the wind, and it will be a mild night, 10 degrees in belfast as we start sunday. heading out on the morning, plenty of sunshine for the midlands

but more cloud already rolling in to south—west england, wales, pushing it in england, too. a fairly narrow area of outbreaks of rain. gusty winds through western scotland, the western isles, we could see a0 to 50 per mile does. the cloud and occasional rain moves eastwards. we start with sunshine, cloud is increasing in the east but there is hardly any rain left as it reaches eastern england. behind it, it brightens up again. a few showers for northern the line at a north—west scotland but another mild day, though quite windy. the winds will stay with us on sunday night into monday morning, blowing in quite a few showers across northern ireland and eventually to north—west england as well. an area of cloud and patchy rain for east and south—east england and another frost free night. monday, quite windy

across northern scotland, blustery elsewhere, heavy showers with perhaps hail and thunder, especially in the north. damp for parts of east anglia and as the week goes on, it stays fairly unsettled to the north and west of the uk but it is still mild and getting milder later in the week. this is bbc news. i'm tanya beckett. our top stories. the us vice president says america will keep a heavy presence in the middle east to help hunt down the remnants of so—called islamic state. the united states will continue to work with all our allies to hunt down the remnants of isis wherever and whenever they raise their ugly head. british—based airline flybmi cancels all flights and ceases operations. nigeria's electoral commission says it came under no external pressure when postponing elections at the last minute. the vatican defrocks the former
