disorder broke out following police raids in the city. footage on social media showed petrol bombs being thrown at armoured police vehicles. officers said that, after shots being fired, a 29—year—old woman was killed. she has been named locally as lyra mckee, a journalist who had been on the scene of the rioting. unfortunately, at 11 o'clock last night, a gunman appeared and fired a number of shots towards the police, and a young woman, lyra mckee, 29 years old, was wounded. she was taken away from the scene in a police land rover to altnagelvin hospital, but unfortunately she has died. the police have described it as a terrorist incident and say a murder inquiry has been launched. political leaders in northern ireland have condemned the violence. the deputy leader of sinn fein, michelle o'neill, calling it an attack on all the community. and the leader of the democratic unionists, arlene foster, saying it was a senseless act.

creggan is an area which is a housing estate so this is outside people's houses was where the rioting was happening. so they had come out, there were young people, there were children on the street, there were teenagers milling about and a gunman just fired indiscriminately up the street. tributes on social media have described the killing ofjournalist lyra mckee as heartbreaking. dissident republicans are being blamed for last night's violence which led to her death. emma vardy, bbc news. more tributes coming in from political leaders. the irish prime minister leo varadkar has offered his condolences to lyra mckee‘s family. he tweeted, "the government condemns in the strongest possible terms the fatal shooting of journalist and writer lyra mckee in derry. we are all full of sadness after last night's events. we cannot allow those who want to propagate violence, fear and hate to drag us back to the past." this morning, speaking to journalists,

the leader of the dup, arlene foster, has called on the community to support the police in bringing the perpatrators to justice. violence, criminality, terrorism was always wrong and is still wrong today in 2019. we condemn it wholeheartedly. we hope that everyone will work in londonderry, and indeed further afield, with the police service to give them all the support that they need. and can i commend the officers last night who stood between the community and those who sought to do the community harm. and i would also commend those in altnagelvin hospital who tried to save lyra's life. so obviously this is a very sad day. but we look to the future and we need to build a platform where there is no equivalence in relation to terrorism or criminality, a platform for democracy, and a platform that works for everybody.

also backing up her presence on social media with an appearance in front of the cameras. the vice president of sinn fein, michelle o'neill, has also spoken this morning, and added her voice to those condemning the attack. this is a tragic loss of a young life and our hearts are broken for all those concerned. those people who carried out this attack have no place in society. attack do not have any support. those people who carried out this attack have attacked all of us. they've attacked the community. they've attacked the people of derry. they've attacked the peace process. and they have attacked the good friday agreement. they should disband, they should desist. they have no role in our society. i'm about to travel to derry and stand in solidarity with the people, to stand in solidarity with the community who don't want see this on the streets. it's important that we are all joined up and united in our condemnation. it is important that we are all joined up and united in terms of supporting the community at what is a hugely, hugely difficult time.

michelle o'neill. our reporterjulian fowler is in derry and earlier told me about the group police are blaming for this attack. the police are blaming dissident republicans, particularly a group known as the new ira. they were responsible for a car bomb outside the courthouse here in the city just at the beginning of the year. the police say they were acting on strong intelligence in carrying out the searches in the creggan area last night, that an attack was planned on monday. the commemoration events at this time of year commemorating the easter rising in 1916. during those searches in the creggan last night, the police came under sustained attack, more than 50 petrol bombs were thrown at police vehicles. two cars were hijacked and set on fire, and just before 11 o'clock a gunman was seen crouching down with a handgun and firing shots

indiscriminately at the police. we now understand up to ten shots were fired. the journalist lyra mckee was standing near one of the police vehicles. she was hit. the police brought her to hospital where she later died. lyra mckee has been described by the national union ofjournalists as one of the most promising young journalists here in northern ireland, and her death has caused widespread shock. there has been condemnation from politicians throughout the political parties here in northern ireland and a short time ago the prime minister condemned what she described as a shocking and senseless killing and paid tribute to a lyra mckee, a journalist, she said, who died doing herjob with great courage. the climate change protests in london are entering their fifth day, as more than 1,000 police

officers are deployed to cover the demonstrations over the easter weekend. campaigners from the group extinction rebellion are continuing to block sites in london including oxford circus and waterloo bridge. since monday, more than 500 activists have been arrested, with some roads in the city still blocked. 0ur correspondent sarah walton is at waterloo bridge in central london. police are moving some of the protesters away, i understand, sarah. yes, that's right. i don't know if you can see, police are going in now in groups of four, five, six of them to a core group of protesters lying down in the middle of the bridge. the police are asking the protesters to move, and if they are refusing to move they are then lifting them up and physically carrying them off the bridge down to police vans that are waiting at the end of the road. we know that more than 500 arrests have been made since the extinction rebellion protests started on monday. what

i've been hearing from the protesters here this morning is that many of them are returning to the protest sites once they have been arrested. i spoke to one protester who said she was arrested at the site in oxford circus yesterday, said she spent three hours in police custody, she said there were very nice to her, they gave her a cup of tea and was released pending further investigation and she came straight back to this protest site. what the police are saying is that this operation is now keeping them from core duties. they have cancelled all rest days for the police, even though it is an easter holiday. they have got about 1,000 officers on the streets of london. but the protest remains at oxford circus and parliament square and marble arch. there is an attempt now, police say, to move people to the site at marble arch, where protesters have permission to be but chatting to protesters this morning they say that as a de—escalation of their movement that they are not prepared for yet, their demands have not been met and they will stay here as long as they can. what is the mood

between the protesters and public between the protesters and public between the protesters and public between the protesters and police as far as you can make out this morning on the bridge? there were one or two people that have come past and expressed their unhappiness with the disruption being caused by the protest. it is a holiday today so there is much less traffic on the roads so we haven't seen the build—up of buses and cars at the end of the road we have done on other days. but i will say since i've been here there has been a huge number of people arriving through the morning, probably about 100 people camped out overnight. i don't know if you can see in this direction, all of these people have been arriving through the morning, they haven't been part of the protest, and as people are being arrested, they are shouting their support for people that are being taken away. i did speak to the protesters earlier about how long they intend to stay and if they are concerned about public opinion turning against them. they say they will stay as long as they can. they are not concerned about public

opinion, it is the attention of politicians they are trying to get. sarah, thank you so much. we are not the only european country with climate protests going on. hundreds of protesters have blocked the entrance of the headquarters of the societe generale bank in paris. greenpeace activists are campaigning against the investment and financing of fossil fuel energy. french police have used pepper spray to try to disperse protesters who are have barricaded themselves both inside and outside of the building. two women have died after getting into difficulties while swimming in the sea at aberdeen beach in the early hours of the morning. police said the victims, aged 22 and 36, were foreign nationals who were living in the city. the women have not yet been named.chief inspector martin mackay

from police scotland has been speaking about the incident. i can confirm that two women aged 22 and 36 have sadly died following an incident at aberdeen esplanade in the early hours of this morning. at around 12:45am this morning along with our partner agencies including the coastguard and the rnli, we attended the scene after concerns were raised for two people who had entered the water. both women who are foreign nationals were recovered by the rnli in a lifeboat and taken to the hospital, aberdeen royal infirmary, where despite extensive efforts to save them they sadly died. above all, my thoughts are with all of those who will be affected by this tragic incident. whilst officers continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding why these women came to be in the water so late at night, at this stage there appears to be no suspicious circumstances. from our initial inquiries, which include speaking to a witness who was present at the time, we understand they entered the water for the purposes of swimming. but sadly they underestimated the conditions. extensive efforts are ongoing to make contact with their next of kin. however, i'm sure you will appreciate this might take some time.

formal identification has not yet taken place and further information will only be released once the families of those involved have been fully informed. chief inspector martin mackay in aberdeen. campaigners have accused local authorities of practising social cleansing by misusing powers that allow them to issue fines for rough sleeping, begging and loitering. the charity, liberty, claims councils are using public space protection 0rders to unfairly target vulnerable people as sangita myska reports. public space protection 0rders, or pspos, were first introduced to the home office in 2014 to tackle anti—social behaviour in specific areas. the orders can be issued to ban activities as wide—ranging as sleeping rough, leaving belongings outside in public, begging, and even urban games such as free running. prosecution can also include a fine of up to £100. civil rights groups now claim

the orders are being used far too widely by cash—strapped councils, keen to remove the poorest people from their neighbourhoods. new figures suggest that in 2016, the number of fines issued by councils stood at 1,906. by 2018, that number had jumped. the body representing local authorities says pspos are used selectively and subject to scrutiny and that they are one of a number of ways councils can tackle anti—social behaviour raised by local communities which can ruin people's quality of life, harm businesses or mean people are scared to visit public places. the home office in the statement said pspos should be used proportionately to tackle anti—social behaviour, and not used to target specific or vulnerable groups. it added, it had given councils clear guidance on how orders should be issued. sangita myska, bbc news.

just coming up to 12:15pm. the headlines on bbc news. the prime minister has described the killing ofjournalist lyra mckee in londonderry as "shocking and truly senseless". it's also been condemned by political leaders in northern ireland and the irish taoiseach. climate change protests in london are entering their fifth day — with more than 1,000 police officers deployed to cover the demonstrations over the easter weekend. cleansing of people who rough sleep, beg or loiter by misusing council powers to issue fines. lots of sport, a full round—up from the sports centre with will perry. anyone busy on social media today may have noticed the hashtags appearing with the word enough.

footballers across england and wales are leading a 24—hour social media strike, which started at nine o'clock this morning, in protest at how racism has been dealth with by football authorities and social media companies. among those taking part is tottenham defender danny rose, who was abused during england's euro 2020 qualifier in montenegro in march. the boycott kicks off the professional footballers‘ association's anti—racism campaign, entitled #enough. it won't be the news that kilmarnock fans will want to hear, but their club manager steve clarke, is one the early bookies' favourites to take over the scotland manager's job, after alex mcleish‘s second spell in charge, was ended afterjust14 months. he was in charge for only 12 games, of which he won five and lost seven. mcleish came under increasing pressure after a poor start to the euro 2020 qualifiers, most notably a 3—0 defeat against kazakhstan. david moyes and scott gemmill are also in the running according to the bookmakers, but clarke has many supporters.

i'd be making a beeline for steve clarke who is currently the kilmarnock manager. successful time as the number two at a variety of english clubs and he was a management material there as well. he's had a fabulous season with kilmarnock and kilmarnock fans will be devastated if he did go. but for me looking around the names like david moyes are being shouted about, there are quite a few that would do a decent job, and maximise the potential of that group. anyone better than steve clarke? not that i can see. some manchester united players "need a reality check" after a poor run of form, according to manager 0le gunnar solskjaer. united have lost five of their last seven games in all competitions and were knocked out of the champions league by barcelona on tuesday. ahead of sunday's trip to everton, they're sixth in the premier league, two points behind fourth—placed arsenal, with five matches remainings. it's great to have games to look forward to. and the focus was changed straightaway. of course, we spoke about it after the game. forget about this, we are out,

we want to be here again and to be back at these stadiums we need to get amongst the top four. fantastic week to look forward to. players are in a good state mentally. norwich could be promoted to the premier league later today. the championship leaders need third—placed sheffield united to slip up at nottingham forest this lunchtime and then win themselves later in the day against sheffield wednesday to return to the top flight after a three—year absence. there's a full set of championship fixtures today — play—off chasing bristol city are playing reading. that one kickedoff at midday. 16 minutes played. still goalless at ashton gate. sheffield united—nottingham forest gets under way at 12:30. bolton will be relegated to league one if they lose to aston villa later.

boxing and jarrell miller, says he's "done nothing wrong" and will appeal the decision, to deny him a licence to face anthonyjoshua at madison square garden, on 1st ofjune. he returned an "adverse finding," in a drug test and has asked for his b sample, to be examined. former world champion paulie, mally—nadgi, says whatever the outcome in this case, boxing does have a problem. there are many dirty fighters in this sport and drug tests need to happen more often and be more stringent. you are going to see more guys get away with this. the fact that we catch them once in awhile does not mean you catch all the cheaters. we need the drug testing to be more strict and on a more regular basis. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. thanks, will. leading democrats in the us have described robert mueller‘s report into president trump's links to russia as "disturbing". the document reveals mr trump's 2016 campaign did not collude with russia but there's no conclusion on whether the president tried to obstruct the investigation.

some members of congress now want robert mueller to testify. 0ur north america correspondent david willis reports. leaving washington for his florida retreat, the president must have been hoping this marks a moment of closure, an end to the investigation that has overshadowed his time in office and which, at one time, he thought might even spell the end of his presidency. despite numerous links between the trump campaign and russia, robert mueller‘s enquiry found no evidence of a conspiracy to subvert the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. but when it came to the question of obstruction ofjustice, the report was less equivocal. attempts to impede the investigation and have robert mueller fired failed only because members of the administration, the former white house counsel don mcgahn among them, refused to carry out orders. "based on the facts, we are unable to reach that judgment," the report reads,

referring to obstruction ofjustice. "accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." to the president, though, the report represents total vindication and, at a white house event for wounded veterans, he could hardly contain his glee. i'm having a good day too. it was called no collusion, no obstruction. his view on the whole thing summed up in a triumphant game of thrones inspired tweet. needless to say, his opponents see it differently. well, it is certainly not game over in the sense that there is a lot more that we need to know that is redacted in this report. and again, this report only goes to what is criminal or not criminal. other actions that may have compromised the president or others around him may or may not be even

included in the report. the special counsel having left the crucial question unresolved, it may now be up to congress to decide whether or not the president's actions amounted to obstruction ofjustice. democrats are already calling for robert mueller to give evidence in person. this presidential holiday may not last long. david willis, bbc news, los angeles. our correspondent gary 0'donoghue is in washington. now, gary, democrats talking about getting robert mueller to testify, will that happen? yes, i think it will, partly because the attorney general and others have said they have no problem with him doing that, and the deadline has been set for that as the 23rd of may, so i think we will see that kind of grandstand performance then. whether they will get much out of him i think is a different matter. he's a very cautious, careful chap. he said

nothing, leaked nothing during these hold 22 months. but there is a whole bunch of questions they will want to ask him about, not least the question of obstruction ofjustice. in his report he says if trumper‘s subordinates had carried out what he'd asked them to he could have been charged for obstruction of justice but because they didn't he wasn't. though sort of questions will come up when he appears on the hill. democrats risk they are just looking like they are trying to find an axe to grind? yes, they do, that's why a lot of them are doing their best to dampen down any talk of impeachment. that amongst the leadership certainly isn't a goer in any sense whatsoever. some on the left still talk about that. but they remember, of course, what happened to president clinton when he was impeached by the republicans. it backfired on them, they lost seats at the next election after that. it's an incredibly difficult thing to do. but they do believe through

the control of the committee system in the house of representatives where they are in a majority they can make life difficult, and uncomfortable for the white house. they can come in a sense, hamstrung the white house, bombard it with inquiries, and that can make trumper‘s business of governing quite difficult. don't forget also, aside from all this, a separate set of prosecutors in the southern district of new york, they are continuing to look into all sorts of elements of the trump organization and his finances and they have a lot more latitude in terms of their investigation than robert mueller ever did. and yet all of these people looking for smoking guns also need to politically look forward. we have another presidential campaign coming round the corner. have another presidential campaign coming round the cornerlj have another presidential campaign coming round the corner. i think that's interesting. and that's why i think we saw yesterday the 20 or so people who have so far thrown their hats into the democratic race for their party's nomination, you saw

them pivot pretty quickly. yes, they had a crack at the attorney general, yes they had a crack at the president, but they don't go for it wholesale and they pivoted pretty quickly too that's why we have to win in 2020, that's why we have to talk about health care, that's why we have to talk about immigration and other things. they don't want to get involved in a kind of russia postmortem. there is a very good reason for that, which is that when it comes to the polls and this was true in the midterms last autumn, russia doesn't figure among voters' concerns. gary, thank you for joining us from washington. as the easter weekend gets under way, church services which would have been held in notre—dame have been moved elsewhere. meanwhile, the operation to remove remaining paintings from inside the fire damaged cathedral for restoration work and safekeeping has begun. officials had been waiting for a green light from the fire service before heading inside the

fragile building. for more than two million people in england, the blue badge is essential — allowing people with disabilities to park close to their destinations — including on yellow lines. now it could be extended to those with hidden conditions, such as autism or mental health issues, in the biggest change to the system in a0 years. graham satchell reports. just going out to the park can be a challenge for hayley. her five—year—old son, noah, has autism. he often has his own agenda and ideas about what he'd like me to be doing. he knows he needs to walk on the pavements but he doesn't always follow those rules. hayley wants to find a space as close as possible to the park so she doesn't have to cross too many roads. ok, so we're just driving around and i can see a couple of blue badge

spaces that are empty. otherwise there aren't any spaces so... i need to get out of the car. we're going to go and park now, ok? as the tension starts to rise, hayley ends up in a supermarket car park. having a blue badge would make a huge difference to us. it would give noah much more freedom, much more independence. if the risk is too high then without the blue badge we wouldn't be able to go out. so i think it would make a huge difference. the blue badge scheme has already changed in scotland and wales to include people with so—called hidden disabilities. when england follows suit later this year, the criteria for getting one will also change. as well as physical disability, badges will be issued to someone who can show they can't make a journey without it causing very considerable psychological distress. some, like alan norton, are worried. he has been a wheelchair user since he contracted polio as a three—year—old and says finding a blue badge space now can be a challenge. i really have some concerns about expanding the scheme even further.

we are already having to... i might have to wait for an hour to get parked. i think we have to go back to the basics of the blue badge. it is there about lack of mobility and i think we should stick to that and keep to that criteria is the main kind of criteria that as the main kind of criteria that needs to be applied. alan eventually finds a space. it will be up to local authorities to administer and issue the extended blue badge scheme. it is also up to them how many parking spaces there will be. i would hope that if there are pressures in certain areas and in certain parts of the country, that local authorities would look at that. but you cannot discriminate against certain types of disability and you certainly shouldn't discriminate against those with a hidden disability. noah has finally made it to the park and, after some more negotiation, he finds his way to the swings tojoin his sister and grandparents.

the government in westminster says extending the blue badge scheme will ensure even more people can go about their daily lives without worrying about how they will get from one place to another. that is certainly hayley‘s hope. whether it works in practice is less clear. graham satchell, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. yesterday we saw the warmest day of the year so so farand we so far and we are on track to be those temperatures today. lengthy spells of sunshine this afternoon, albeit hazy at times, a bit of a breeze to the northern half of scotla nd breeze to the northern half of scotland but lighter winds from the north sea and channel coasts and it should feel warmer than it has in recent days. the heat focus down towards the southern half of the uk where we could hit 2a celsius today. so, afine where we could hit 2a celsius today. so, a fine end to good friday, clear skies, we may see the return of low cloud, mist and fog in lincolnshire and yorkshire and this band of cloud

sta rts and yorkshire and this band of cloud starts edging into western parts of northern ireland and scotland, could be drizzly here. there will be some cool spots to start the day on saturday but most places will be frost free. any early morning mist 01’ frost free. any early morning mist orfog frost free. any early morning mist or fog clearing frost free. any early morning mist orfog clearing quickly, once again lots of sunshine on offer, away from parts of northern ireland and the western half of scotland where we will see more cloud and outbreaks of rain. here temperatures will not do as well, the heat focused down towards the southern half of the uk where we could see 25 celsius.

zele ns ky hello, this is bbc news with carrie gracie. the headlines: the prime minister has described the killing ofjournalist lyra mckee in londonderry as "shocking and truly senseless". it's also been condemned by political leaders in northern ireland and the irish taoiseach. police have begun a murder investigation. this is a horrendous act. it's unnecessary, it's uncalled for, it's totally unjustified. but not only is

ita totally unjustified. but not only is it a moor of a young woman, it's an attack again upon the people of this city. —— murder ofa attack again upon the people of this city. —— murder of a young woman. a fifth day of climate change protests in london — thousands of police officers are deployed to try to clear the demonstrators local authorities are being acused of practicing "social clea nsing" by misusing powers to issue fines for rough sleeping, begging and loitering. the charity, liberty, claims councils are unfairly targeting vulnerable people. two women have died after getting into trouble in the water off aberdeen beach. police say the 22— and 36—year—olds were foreign nationals who appear to have gone swimming and underestimated the conditions. there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances. more than 200 people have been killed in libya as violence continues on the outskirts of the capital tripoli. the united nations—backed prime minister fayez al—serraj is facing

down an insurgency led by rebel military commander khalifa haftar who is advancing on the city. mr serraj has condemned the "silence" of the international community, warning there could be a danger of the islamic state group taking advantage of the chaos. he's been talking to our correspondent orla guerin in tripoli. in tripoli in tripoli, once again it's time to bury the dead. mourners blame the military strongman besieging the city, general khalifa haftar. critics say he wants to be a new gaddafi. libya's internationally recognised prime minister has held

him off for two weeks with the help ofa him off for two weeks with the help of a loose alliance of militias but he's sounding worried. translation: this is a dangerous turning point, it's a confrontation to supporters of democracy and authoritarian rule. i'm astonished by the stand the international community. it's less a matter of taking a stand and more of dodging a bullet. these battles are raging around seven miles from the prime minister's office, but the international community which was so hands—on during libya's revolution now has little to say. translation: there are divisions within the international community. some countries support the government. they recognise that there is an attack taking place. other countries don't have the courage to acknowledge that. we do

not want this division to cause the international community to abandon libya as it did in 2011. watches the risk now that so—called islamic state can exploit this vacuum? were driven from their stronghold at the end of 2017 but nobody imagined that they were gone completely. definitely, there is a fear that extremist elements, terrorist elements, may return. some cells are left and will certainly take advantage of the security vacuum. we fought and vanquished isis, now the attack on tripoli has given these sales opportunity to reawaken. what about your personal safety? what do you think might happen to you if khalifa haftar manages to take over? iam khalifa haftar manages to take over? i am living in the capital among 3 million libyans were defending their city. what happens to them will

happen to me, but we will fight to the death to defend our dream of establishing a democratic civilian state. the battle for tripoli may have an impactfar the battle for tripoli may have an impact far beyond libya's shores. the prime minister says it's threatening the lives of 800,000 migrants here and could spark a flood to europe. tens of thousands of people are expected in kiev‘s olympic stadium later to watch a debate between the final two candidates in ukraine's presidential election. the run—off vote will take place on sunday and having won the first round volodymyr zelensky, a comedian and actor is the clear favourite to beat the incumbent petro poroshenko. our correspondentjonah fisher sent this report from the ukrainian capital, kiev. it's the final stretch of ukraine's presidential election and this man

is all set to win. this is volodymyr zelensky. communicating the way he prefers, through light—hearted videos on social media. his campaign has barely existed in real life. he has barely existed in real life. he has avoided debates, rallies and political speeches and left his opponent angrily chasing shadows. translation: a country of 45 million people cannot vote for a virtual person but they only see on a tv screen and in film. but the polls suggest ukrainians are about to do just that. incredibly, the less volodymyr zelensky has said about politics, the more popular he has become. when he made major statements, they really made some

major controversy and caused an uproar because there was sometimes illogical and he i think understood that but it's a matter for him to just keep silent. there is no doubt that a large part of volodymyr zele ns ky‘s that a large part of volodymyr zelensky‘s support as a protest vote. people here in ukraine are fed up vote. people here in ukraine are fed up with their politicians and they are up with their politicians and they a re often up with their politicians and they are often corrupt and in relationships with rich oligarchs but many people also see in volodymyr zelensky a friendly, familiarface, someone volodymyr zelensky a friendly, familiar face, someone who volodymyr zelensky a friendly, familiarface, someone who has volodymyr zelensky a friendly, familiar face, someone who has what it takes to be this country's next president. and that's because for the last three years, ukrainians have been watching him on tv, playing the part of principles, oligarchy fighting president in a satirical drama series. up up until now he has avoided what

could be a very difficult face—to—face encounter with the real president, he would certainly face questions about his own ties to a real controversial oligarch. the only time they have publicly exchanged views by phone was a disaster. this is how volodymyr zele ns ky disaster. this is how volodymyr zelensky likes to work, making slick videos while his advisers try to explain what, if anything, the comedian stands for. translation: europe has nothing to be afraid of, it's the opposite. volodymyr zelensky will be much less dependent on russia and business with russia than this oligarch. on friday it looks like the long—awaited presidential debate will finally take place in the national stadium but something extraordinary will have to happen for it to affect the final result. if it is to be president volodymyr
