it's hoped its presence in the bustling park will keep their memories alive for years to come. sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. time for a look at the weather, here's louise lear. thanks, reeta. this time last week, it was all about sunshine, february warms, even record—breaking temperatures, those lucky few in the la ke temperatures, those lucky few in the lake district, i bet you couldn't believe your luck. i just lake district, i bet you couldn't believe your luck. ijust move forward to seven days, and we had a seven centimetres of snow to greet people first thing in cumbria this morning. storm freya may have departed off to scandinavia, but behind a trail of scattered showers will be the feature for the rest of the afternoon. some of those showers windy across scotland and higher ground of northern ireland, most of the showers out to the west, pushing further inland, so if you have

managed to dodge them across eastern england, there could be one or two waiting in the winds to catch you out this afternoon. scotland, sunny spells, scattered showers, 8—10 degrees, wintry showers in parts of northern ireland, and showers across northern england, some with the odd rumble of thunder, some pushing further east, maximum temperature of 10-11 further east, maximum temperature of 10—11 degrees this afternoon. breezy with it, but not strong, gale force gusts that we had through yesterday. as we go through overnight tonight, it looks as though the showers will continue, similar spots really, northern ireland, parts of northern england into southern scotland as well. under clear skies elsewhere, a cooler night. then shall eastern areas of scotland, temperature is low enough for frost. we start tomorrow morning called a first thing, this area of low pressure continuing to drive showers into the

north—west, another low pushing from the south—west will bring wetter and windier weather as we go on into wednesday. for tuesday, many windier weather as we go on into wednesday. fortuesday, many of windier weather as we go on into wednesday. for tuesday, many of us will see a dry, sunny day, showers across scotland and northern england, by the end of the afternoon at rain showing its hand in the south—west and south wales. highs of 7-13 south—west and south wales. highs of 7—13 degrees. a significant area of low pressure arriving overnight tuesday into wednesday, nowhere near as severe the gales, but nevertheless heavy rain across northern ireland, again predominantly into northern england and scotland by the end of the afternoon, scattered showers following behind, and it will turn increasingly wintry with any elevation, 6—7 in scotland, 12—13 down in the south—west. once that low pressure is out of the way, it looks as though things will change, sunshine and showers for the week ahead, wet and windy through the middle part of the week, then turning chillierfor all middle part of the week, then turning chillier for all of us.

that's all from the bbc news at one, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. the world of football has gathered to pay their respects to an icon this afternoon, with the funeral of world cup winning england goalkeeper gordon banks taking place in stoke. the service has been getting under way in the last few minutes where many familiar faces are in attendance including his 1966 team—mate sir geoff hurst, who is giving a eulogy this afternoon. goalkeepers past and present from his former clubs acted as pallbearers, while sporting legends such as sir bobby charlton, as well as friends and family are also in attendance. it's a very sad day, one of the

greats in his profession, always a privilege when you come across a new professional that they are with or against. it's been a privilege for me. the greatest goalkeeper i've seen. manchester united striker alexis sanchez could be out for six to eight weeks with knee ligament damage sustained during saturday's victory over southampton. he was forced off seven minutes into the second half following a collision with jan bednarek. it's another injury blow for ole gunnar skojkaer, who could be without up to ten players for wednesday s champions league tie with paris saint—germain. england lock maro itoje has been included in the england rugby union training squad for the first time injust over a month, ahead of their six nations match against italy on saturday. he's been out of action since damaging a knee ligament during the win over ireland on the opening weekend, but he's expected to return at twickenham. itoje is part of an initial 31—man squad which also incluces chris robshaw and jonathan joseph. boss eddiejones will cut that down to 25 players tomorrow evening, before naming his starting fifteen

and replacements on thursday. forward hamish watson is among five players returning from injury to rejoin the scotland squad. he hurt a hand on club duty with edinburgh six weeks ago. stuart hogg is still out though. scotland play the six nations' only unbeaten side — wales — on saturday. england's woman cricketers completely outclassed india, to win their first t20 match in guwa hati. tammy beaumont top—scored with 62, as they set their hosts a victory target of 161. linsey smith took two wickets in two balls early in the india innings and they could only manage 119—6, england winning by 41 runs. after losing the one—day series, england will have the opportunity to seal the t20 series in the second game on thursday. i thought at half time, maybe ten or 15 short but the way

the bowlers came out and bowled so well on that wicket, brilliant team performance. everyone stuck their hands up and this has been a challenging 48 hours. frank bruno's agent has revealed that the former world heavyweight champion has been suffering from pneumonia. dave davies used bruno's twitter account to thank the hospital staff who'd cared for him. he said he now needs a few weeks' rest. bruno famously beat oliver mccall to win the wbc heavyweight title at wembley in 1995. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc. co. uk/ sport studio: many thanks. there's still a lot of confusion surrounding the uks' withdrawal from the european union withjust

a few weeks to go. politicians have so far been unable to decide what type of brexit they want. so how does all this uncertainty affect people across the uk? from margate, geeta guru—murthy reports. the skies here are the loveliest in all europe. so thought the artist, turner, who loved the town of margate for its sea and skies. the kent coast, gateway to europe, voted largely in favour of brexit. what do people here think now? we was a better country before we went in there in the first place. i mean, we are not our own country now, are we? we are being ruled by the bleedin‘ common market. i mean, how dare they tell us what to do in our own country! i'm from cyprus, greek cypriot, i am and i'm voting from brexit to go out, you know what i mean? to be on our own, yeah. and i think we'll be succeed. i'd go no—deal, let them get on with it. move away, we will get there, it may take a couple of years, we will get there. we are british, for goodness' sake!

# the sun has got his hat on, hip, hip, hip, hooray.#. holiday—makers have been coming here for over 200 years but in the 1970s, low cost flights to mainland europe crippled tourism. housing became so cheap that other parts of the uk sent theirjobless and asylum seekers here. but margate is on the move again. big money is being spent, for instance, at this hotel, which in the past hosted ts eliot, charlie chaplin and sir mickjagger. the owner, a remainer, isn't worried about the effect of brexit. margate was the jewel in the crown of british seaside resorts back in the day. you know, even in the worst—case scenario people are talking about, where the pound sinks, confidence dives, that will mean people will either spend more time in the uk or it's cheaper for overseas tourists to come here. leading the regeneration has been the turner gallery, it has some eu funds and its directorfears brexit could not only turn kent into a lorry park that it will bring other costs.

i am also worried about what happens with the pound versus the euro because obviously our costs are quite considerable in terms of moving works of art. brexit will end freedom of movement and some say that has driven europeans here back home already. the owner of this shop says it could prove fatal to his business, so he might follow. i hope stay with europe or doing a good deal with europe. we still don't know what is exactly brexit. is it about foreign people or is it about the economy? as the sun sets potentially on the brexit deadline, what is clear here in margate is that brexit isn'tjust about politics or ideology, it's about real people's jobs, their homes, theirfuture. that is what's at stake. geeta guru—murthy, bbc news, margate. the funeral of the former england goalkeeper, gordon banks, is taking place.

the world cup winner died last month at the age of 81. the service is being held at stoke minster — on the 47th anniversary of stoke city's league cup win. john mcmanus is in stoke now. yes, this service got under way ten minutes ago for a gordon banks here at stoke minster. people in stoke felt this was his city because he spent so much of his career here. he was a spent so much of his career here. he wasa memberof spent so much of his career here. he was a member of those two world cup squads in 1966 and 1970. there was that they must save that he became so that they must save that he became so famous for but he spent much of his career here at stoke city and was very much somebody who was easy to talk to and this is very much what people gathered here today have been telling us. they started gathering at 10am to wait for the

funeral to begin gathering at 10am to wait for the funeralto begin and gathering at 10am to wait for the funeral to begin and they have been telling us what kind of man he was, a person who was very much down to earth, a working class man who wasn't afraid to talk to people and treating people equally despite his owi'i treating people equally despite his own international fame, so this service under way, it started ten minutes ago, amongst those attending, sir geoff hurst, expected to give one of the tributes. gordon banks's own daughter will also give a speech. and there have been many famous people from the current day stoke city squad and also some of the pallbearers have included kasper schmeichel and others. this service going on right behind me. studio: jon, you have been through some of those attending the funeral. clearly, gordon banks, a much loved character and figure in his town. i think we are expecting geoff hurst to speak shortly, aren't we, to pay

tribute to his team—mate? to speak shortly, aren't we, to pay tribute to his team-mate? that's right. we don't know what he will say but i imagine it will be extremely heartfelt, a tribute to a man who was very friendly, good character, somebody you would really wa nt character, somebody you would really want isa character, somebody you would really want is a colleague and team—mate but also he had that worldwide fame, that save of pelle a's header, called possibly the best one in english football. a man famous for his goalkeeping skills but also a man who people liked to be around, a friend to many and that's what we have been hearing today from those gathered outside, when they've been talking about their memories of gordon banks. i think we came here a little from the service going on, this is the chairman of stoke city. he enjoyed coming to the games, meeting people in the boardroom and the villagers always wanted to meet

him and talk to him, he was a wonderful ambassador and the last few months when he was ill, he was a lwa ys few months when he was ill, he was always desperate to come to games. it would be harder to meet a nicer man, for all his fame. it had no effect on him, everyone was the same. he was a modest, self—effacing man. he took great interest in the clu b man. he took great interest in the club and would often call me about away matches to see how he had done and how he played but he would a lwa ys and how he played but he would always be supportive. he remained close to the players at stoke, a lot of whom are here today. they had weekly walks in the gardens, about ten of them and went for coffee afterwards. i am told they will continue their weekly walks and will call at the gordon banks walk. they are going to miss him. i am

privileged to have known gordon so well and he was a man for all seasons. we will miss him but we shall never forget seasons. we will miss him but we shall neverforget him. seasons. we will miss him but we shall never forget him. thank you, peter. now, geoff hurst. gordon banks, although he contributed to the worst moment of my footballing career... laughter we often joked privately and often publicly about the save against pele and myself in the second leg of that final. of course, i always maintain to the

most important save, you need to appreciate this in this community, was the save that got him through, the safe against pele wasn't important, we lost the game and we still qualified for the latter stages of the world cup. i had eight years at west ham following a succession of goalkeepers and got picked for england and i suddenly realised it would be a little difficult to beat gordon outside the box but i had in the first years of my footballing career. there were some lovely photos immediately after gordon passed, a smashing picture on the back of a national paper in the morning after, almost in the superman pose, some of you may have seen it. you couldn't see the goal in the shot, just the backdrop, the main stand of a big club and he was about five feet off the ground, superman pose, stretching to a three

metres from the ball and there were some great clips also in the morning after, many of the games he played andl after, many of the games he played and i realised more than ever before how agile he was. making great saves but also how brave he was, diving so quickly and smothering the ball. as a person, well described by peter, i endorse those sentiments, he was a superstar on the field but quite frankly superstar on the field but quite fra n kly off superstar on the field but quite frankly off the field he was not a superstar at all, he was a very ordinary guy, never had the airs and graces, that was the beautiful thing about banksy i remember well. he also talked about goalkeeping. as a striker, not really remotely interested... but he talked of many things and some stick in my mind. he always used to say he would be a ya rd always used to say he would be a yard or two always used to say he would be a ya rd or two off always used to say he would be a yard or two off the line, so if it

ricocheted off him it would go beyond the bar. i look at goalkeepers today sometimes in the premier league who are stuck on the line and sometimes the net and i often say to myself, banksy would have saved that! he has a joker. funnyman, for over 50 years, every time we met during our career and years after, he would always come up and joke, years after, he would always come up andjoke, i years after, he would always come up and joke, i never forget that. sometimes when you are away or weeks ata time sometimes when you are away or weeks at a time with a bunch of players, as we were with england, really stupid things i remember. one in particular, we played an away game and afterwards, somewhere abroad, we we re and afterwards, somewhere abroad, we were eating in a restaurant, not a private room like you would have to but any fully booked restaurant and there was a pianist they're playing

very loudly with a microphone attached to the piano, you could hardly hear yourself speak. we had to file past, single file, past this pianist to get to our seats at the back of the restaurant. i was a couple of players behind banksy. he we nt couple of players behind banksy. he went up to the piano player and said, do you take tunes? and the pianist said, what would you like me to play, and banksy said, can you play the fire away? laughter. studio: that is so geoff hurst paying tribute to his team—mate, gordon banks, and we will bring you more later. straight now to scotland ya rd really more later. straight now to scotland yard really met police are making a statement about the rise in knife crime. i am deputy assistant commissioner of scotland yard. we

have had a tragic ten days in london. we have seen a number of high—profile violent incidents and oui’ high—profile violent incidents and our thoughts are very much with the family, friends and indeed the wider communities affected by these tragic events. one incident, one injury, one death is one too many. tackling violent crime remains the met‘s top priority and we have been working day and night to make progress. in advance of the weekend just past, we had arranged for more officers from oui’ had arranged for more officers from our violent crime task force to be on duty. and we have extended their shifts to raise visibility across london. these officers are operating across london in both uniform and plainclothes. officers from the homicide teams are working around the clock to bring justice to

families and to protect our communities. the increased police presence has made a difference, with officers conducting more than 2500 stop and searches in the last three days alone, to give some idea of the scale of our activity around knife crime, in the last 12 months, we have seized thousands of weapons by utilising stop and search. however, we are not complacent. and i would appeal to the public to contact the police if they are aware of anyone carrying a knife. if you are not co mforta ble carrying a knife. if you are not comfortable about speaking directly two co nta ct comfortable about speaking directly two contact crime stoppers, where you can provide information anonymously. by doing this, you could save a life. whilst enforcement of the law is an important part of activity in london, we are undertaking an enormous amount of work within schools in the cross—community is to

try and prevent young people getting involved in violence. we continue to work with partners, the home office, the mayor because my office, and other organisations, including the princes trust, to ensure we are taking a wide—ranging approach to tackling knife crime. we know there is still a significant amount of work to do to rid the capital of violence and we absolutely cannot solve this problem alone. the police, our partners and the public must continue to work together to prevent young lives being lost. thank you. is this the worst knife crime you have seen? this is high at the moment and we need to make an intervention to stop it, which is why we have put extra officers out and why we are utilising stop and search and we want to stop it escalating further. you say extra office rs escalating further. you say extra officers but it is reallyjust current officers with rest days

cancelled. that is correct, i cannot magic officers out of thin air that we are lucky we have officers who are professional, committed and want to make a difference at the moment. they are working incredibly hard and difficult circumstances. ok? thank you very much. studio: that statement by the metropolitan police deputy assistant commissioner, graham mcnulty, talking about an increased police presence on the streets. 2000 stop and searches, he said, had been conducted in the last three days alone and also appealing for public help, in helping them deal with this. 0k, help, in helping them deal with this. ok, let's move on. theresa may has visited salisbury — declaring the city as "open for business" — one year on from the nerve agent attack that contaminated several locations. the prime minister visited local businesses, twelve months after former russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter yulia were targeted with the nerve agent novichok. earlier today, a tweet from the official no.10 downing

street twitter account incorrectly used a picture of bath for a statement on salisbury — mrs may addressed the mistake when speaking to reporters. this was an error which has now been rectified. what i have seen today here in salisbury is the tremendous spirit and resolve of the people, it has been a difficult year for them and particularly for the immediate victims of the reckless attack which took place on the streets of salisbury, the use of a chemical weapon, a nerve agent on our streets. we have been supporting salisbury, the message they have given me today is that this is a city which is vibrant, dynamic, a wonderful place to come and visit. i'm here at the cathedral, which is a great attraction, wonderful thing to come and see, salisbury is open for business. it is one year on and at the time that sergei skripal and his daughter were found, a lot of information was available about his background, from russia, about the nerve agent used, and yet, public health england said to everybody,

you will be all right, don't worry. looking back, do you think may some slightly different warnings should have been sent out to the public? public health england where very careful about the warnings and advice they gave to the public. there has been a tremendous effort here in salisbury, the decontamination has now been completed, that is a key moment for this city, in order to move on and recover from what took place last year. they said two people, don't worry, just wash your clothes and at the time the security services were wearing special decontamination suits? public health england looked at the information available and gave their best advice to people at the time. what we have seen over the past year is a tremendous effort from the emergency services and from the councils, with government support, from our armed forces, who have done a tremendous job, decontamination is of all the various venues affected and that is now over, salisbury is open for

business. the prime minister speaking in salisbury. now it's time for a look at the weather. we were all talking about february sunshine last week at this time. and for those lucky few visiting cumbria, i bet you couldn't believe you were out on a boat in 18 degrees. but this morning, seven centimetres of lying snow. a cooler and unsettled week ahead. we had storm freya and that has eased off in to scandinavia. behind that, showers will be an issue. most of those have been out to the west but they will filter further east this afternoon. we cannot rule out the odd rumble of thunder. some of those quite nasty across northern ireland,

winteriness in that they are as well. for scotland, sunny spells and scattered showers. not particularly warm compared to one week ago. showers in northern ireland stretching across the isle of man into the north of england and north wales. some of those drifting into eastern england. a breezy end to the day, nowhere near as strong as the winds yesterday. overnight, showers continue and those will tend to gather in intensity across northern ireland, northern england and southern scotland. clear skies elsewhere and temperatures may drop, low enough for a touch of frost in eastern scotland. dry weather for some, sunshine for others but as you can see, one area of low pressure in the north—west maintaining those showers and another one starting to push in from the south—west by the end of the day. the beginning part of the day, not too bad in terms of

dry and sunny spells, some showers and by the end of the afternoon, more significant rain pushing into south—west england and south wales. it does look as though this low pressure will bring wet and windy weather. gusts of wind around 50—60 mph. not as strong as storm freya but some of the ring could be intense for a time. as it moves across northern england, scotland and northern ireland, and yes, there will be some snow on the tops of the mountains, a breezy afternoon behind, a little bit warmer, 13 celsius but a cool day. sunshine and showers, wet and windy through the middle of the week and then noticeably cooler.
