this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at ten... a call for northern ireland politicians to unite to deliver on power—sharing talks — from the priest who received an ovation at lyra mckee‘s funeral. i get the sense that people want the politicians to move and they want them to move now. by that i mean entering into those talks and in a way that will bring a positive result at the end of them. 15 bodies and bomb—making equipment are recovered by sri lankan security forces, who're hunting those behind the easter sunday attacks. accused of fuelling a mental health epidemic — england's top doctor warns cosmetic clinics of their duty of care to vulnerable clients. jeremy corbyn is being urged by nearly 100 labour mps and meps, including shadow ministers, to back another referendum on any brexit deal.

and the travel show‘s mike corey is in oslo taking on the grand masters of norway's chess scene. that's in half an hour — here on bbc news. the catholic priest fr martin magill, who criticised northern ireland's political leaders at the funeral of the journalist, lyra mckee, has told the bbc that people want results from new talks, next month, to restore power—sharing at stormont. power—sharing broke down more than two years ago. our ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. at lyra mckee‘s funeral, the words of fr martin magill received a standing ovation when he shamed politicians for failing to reconcile their differences to restore devolution.

why, in god's name, does it take the death of a 29—year—old woman with her whole life in front of her... applause in his first interview since the address, he urged politicians to listen to the people. i get the sense that people want our politicians to move and they want them to move now, and by that i mean in terms of entering into those talks and in a way that will actually bring a positive result at the end of them. political adversaries in northern ireland have been brought together by the death of the journalist who was shot during rioting in londonderry. more than two years since power—sharing collapsed in northern ireland, yesterday, the british and irish governments announced that in the wake of lyra's death, there would be fresh discussions to try to reach a new power—sharing agreement, beginning after the local elections next week. and we will work with all the parties to help them do that. but repeated rounds of talks have previously failed, and big sticking points

between the parties remain. emma vardy, bbc news. our correspondentjulian fowler is in belfast for us. there is no doubt of the sense of public pressure on the politicians but how far apart that they remain? the problem that led to the suspension of stormont two years ago have not progressed in any way despite those very public shows and displays of unity in the response to the killing of lyra mckee, we have seen a the killing of lyra mckee, we have seen a very the killing of lyra mckee, we have seen a very bullish response from both the dup and sinn fein to the announcement of those talks which will begin on may the 7th. while welcoming those talks i have just restated their positions from the colla pse restated their positions from the collapse of the previous talks process. arlene foster the leader of

the dup has called for a parallel process for devolution to be restored while a separate talks process takes place to deal with the issues that remain unresolved such as an irish language act and the legalisation of same—sex marriage, but sinn fein has rejected that and they said those issues need to be dealt with before any resolution of devolution. so, really it's hard to see where the two governments will find compromise in this talks process particularly as they begin in the middle of a european election campaign. as you say european elections and that will add to the partisan nature of the politics at the moment and make people more polarised, not less, but is there a prospect that the two parties could emerge from that by the end of may, local elections as well, by the end of may when the europeans are out of

the way, in a position where voters have delivered a verdict that forces their hand to some extent, if the sinn fein dup vote was to be hit because they were failing to progress in power sharing, it is not the sort of thing that will likely have an impact or is that the issues themselves are so difficult within themselves are so difficult within the community is that there isn't a way through? you'll make the other thing to say is it is notjust about the issues, also about the relationship between the dup and sinn fein. a breakdown in trust, mandatory coalition, the parties have to share power together and really we saw in the last months of stormont before the collapse of a real breakdown in those relationships and the smaller parties as well who will also be involved in these talks have said they were being excluded from all they were being excluded from all the big decisions being taken place between the dup and sinn fein, so there is a lot of trust building that needs to happen as part of this talks process as well as focusing on

the issues. there is no details yet as to what format these talks are going to take. we have been told there won't be an independent moderator and although we have heard from the two governments saying this isa time from the two governments saying this is a time for bold decisions, for risk—taking, it remains to be seen whether the parties are prepared to meet that challenge. julian fowler in belfast, thank you very much. sri lankan security forces have exchanged fire with suspected islamic state militants in the east of the country. reports say 15 bodies, including six children, have been found in a house where the gun battle took place. the country has remained on high alert since the easter suicide attacks on churches and hotels that killed 253 people and injured more than 500. katy austin reports. the charred deathly quiet aftermath ofa gun the charred deathly quiet aftermath of a gun battle between suspected extremists and sri lankan police last night. it reportedly started

when an armed group set off an explosion. afterwards are 15 bodies we re explosion. afterwards are 15 bodies were found. among them police said six children and civilians caught in the crossfire. following a tip off the crossfire. following a tip off the raid took place in sainthamaruthu, a town in the east of the country not far from the hometown of the suspected ringleader of the easter sunday attacks, said to have died in one of the bombings. all weak security forces in sri la nka all weak security forces in sri lanka have been warning of further attacks, this huge amount of bomb—making equipment found in another raid nearby showed those fears were justified. an another raid nearby showed those fears werejustified. an is another raid nearby showed those fears were justified. an is flag was also found. in an interview with the bbc‘s clive myrie the sri lankan prime minister was asked about what many see as the failings of his government and why he had not been aware of intelligence warning of the easter sunday attacks. unfortunately ididn't easter sunday attacks. unfortunately i didn't know of it. what do you do

when you are out of the loop? you are talking about not being in the loop. you are the prime minister, you are number two at the national security council. that is the critical issue, we have to find out why i wasn't in the loo, who was he wasn't in the loop stoplight at the st anthony's shrine in colombo targeted in last weekend's blasts the clean—up is under way. targeted in last weekend's blasts the clean-up is under way. but the catholic church across the country has cancelled all matches scheduled for this sunday amid concern there could be more attacks, a sign that the threat to sri lanka and its people's fear remain. rohan karr, the general manager of the cinnamon grand hotel, targeted last weekend, told the bbc‘s martin patience that the bomber had checked into the hotel the night before and the staff were not suspicious of their guest. he behaved like a normal customer. he behaved like a normal customer. he walked in the night before ejecting and we served him a welcome drink and he went up to his room and

he came down in the morning with a rucksack on his back and he went into the restaurant, he made sure he got a table right in the middle of the restaurant and he was working around with this rucksack on his back and he served his food with the rucksack, he ate good and the staff we re rucksack, he ate good and the staff were watching this and he wondered why normally restaurant they take the bag off and why he was working with this but we never thought this was the man who was going to kill us. was the man who was going to kill us. he sat, eight, he waited for people to gather towards the bow tie, when he saw a bigger crowd, —— buffet. he decided this is a time to create maximum damage. when you came downstairs, what did you say? bodies, body parts all over the place. even in the pond, there was a hand and we had to take some 6—foot

tables, break the legs and put the people on that and carry that to ta ke people on that and carry that to take them out of the restaurant. five of your staff died, can you tell me a little bit about them? out of the five, four were actually on duty, working, one of them was the restau ra nt duty, working, one of them was the restaurant manager. then there was another lady. they come in the morning to do a sri lankan pancake. it was not even her dietary work that day. her colleague who was a catholic who wanted to go for the easter mass, so she volunteered to come and do is shift so that he might attend the mass. she u nfortu nately was might attend the mass. she unfortunately was one of them. was security too lax not only here but across the country? this is a country that had high security for so country that had high security for so many years. to be honest, after the war, i never thought we would be

a target for terrorists, because even a terrorist camp to be that bad, to hit back a country that has suffered for 30 years. we did have security but we didn't watch for this. what is the future, obviously the tour —— my coke tourism industry into like it is going to be affected by this. definitely. we have people who are departing the country. we have travel warnings from all over the world and all the countries and we don't blame them. now we are slowly but surely trying to stand on oui’ slowly but surely trying to stand on our own feet, regain confidence, and as of next week, tuesday, we will open to public, we will work hard. and i will make sure as long as i am here and my team, that we will not let this destroy us.

joining me now from perth is dr mostafa naser, lecturer at edith cowan university, western australia and author of understanding suicide terrorism in bangladesh and sri lanka. thank you very much forjoining us on bbc news. let me ask you first of all about relations between the muslim community and the christian community in sri lanka and also more generally, how the muslim minority there is treated. thank you for your question. it is surprising that isis, the islamic globaljihadists, they mainly operate in muslim majority countries, and in sri lanka only muslims are about 10% christians, commit their is conflict

between communities and shall we have never heard about the use of jihadist militants in sri lanka, it is surprising for us in sri lanka. we need to think about whether it is pa rt we need to think about whether it is part of the global network of jihadist terrorism or it is simply some home—grown terrorist, actually they launch an attack on this kind of thing. so it seems it is part of an international network, because it is so organised and impossible to coordinate by home—grown local terrorists, so if you talk about the relationship as i say, that there is, we have never heard that there is, we have never heard that there isa is, we have never heard that there is a conflict between muslim and christian, some time ago there was conflict between muslims and buddhist relating to a statue, so it

is still critical to say we don't know and we don't have the information to say. 0bviously christians were targeted in this incident, but it is a result of conflict between muslim or christian oi’ conflict between muslim or christian or not, it is still difficult to say at this stage. what about the ride this morning in the course of the day in sri lanka? what sort of revelation in their is that and how important is it that the police are now apparently able to identify some of those locations where this may have been planned? the police have found explosives and they have recovered isis flags in the hideouts, so it indicates that they we re

hideouts, so it indicates that they were linked to isis or isil, so cold. that's so—called. it is the information we have. is their concern that some of the bad practices that were apparent during the 30 year long civil war between the 30 year long civil war between the government and the tamil tigers, some of the things that were done there by the security forces to try and control that insurgency might be repeated this time except aimed at the muslim minority? exactly. that isa the muslim minority? exactly. that is a good question. i was thinking the same actually. the last stage of the same actually. the last stage of the civil war, sri lankan army accused of war crimes and human rights organisations accused the sri lankan army, actually there were war crimes committed on both sides. we

have sufficient reason to be concerned that whether it is repeated in case of this recent operation against these suicide attacks, or whether the muslim minorities, so we have sufficient reason to be concerned and obviously we will... it is necessary to take action against terrorism but obviously there must be respectful to the international humanitarian law principles, must be properly target and should not be indiscriminate. we have already found that there are six children found that there are six children found during this attack and it is terrible and under international treaties convention on rights of child, and also geneva convention, committed to protecting the lives of

children during armed conflict. i don't know whether it was unavoidable or not, but obviously the authorities should be careful of this and respectful to that international humanitarian law principles during the sort of armed conflict. thank you very much for being with us today on bbc news. thank you very much for inviting me to this programme. here in the uk, around half a million people have a debilitating form of heart failure that doctors know very little about. the condition stops the heart from relaxing, meaning the muscles become too stiff to function properly. now researchers at four british universities are looking into how to diagnose and treat the condition. here's our science correspondent richard westcott. i don't think we have that report, forgive me. let's move onto medical story. a senior health official has said

clinics that provide cosmetic procedures, such as fillers and botox injections, are helping to fuel a mental health and anxiety epidemic. professor stephen powis, who's medical director of nhs england, is calling for an official register of all providers and for better training to protect vulnerable clients from quick fixes. our global health correspondent richard galpin reports. cosmetic procedures like botox injections and fillers are popular and easily available, notjust in clinics, but also in high street outlets. the nhs is concerned there is a link between young people's mental health and these kinds of procedures. 25% of youngsters are worried about their appearance, 50% are worried about their weight, and we know that the evidence is if you've got those concerns, if you are feeling pressure or bombarded around idealised body image, that you are more likely to seek procedures, but you are also then more likely to be dissatisfied with the outcome of those procedures.

to try to tackle this, the nhs wants all those providing cosmetic procedures to sign up to an online training programme teaching them how to recognise the signs and symptoms of vulnerability and mental ill health, and ensuring they tell customers where to get help if they show signs of being vulnerable. but the course is voluntary and so far, only 10% of providers have signed up for the training. richard galpin, bbc news. i'm joined now from salford by professor stephen powis, nhs national medical director. thank you for coming in this morning. that is the most striking thing about this, the statistic that richard gave at the end there, the low number of providers who are giving this kind of treatments were actually registered, how has it come about? this is an important start and we are really pleased that the

joint council on cosmetic procedures as committed to not only establishing a register but ensuring that people who sign up onto the register are trained to recognise vulnerability much psychological problems, mental illness, commit to screening when procedures are being planned to identify those that might be at risk, and if those individuals are identified then signpost them and refer them on to the appropriate health care professional, so getting appropriate advice to help them other than simply going through with the procedure is. and that is fine but to go back to my original question, if the number actually registered as that low and not registered as that low and not registered with the council, all that will happen presumably is that if you do go to what is registered and if the patient is having obstacles put in the way to say whether worry whether it is a suitable state of mind for the treatment, they willjust go to one of the other providers who isn't so

choosy and hasn't signed up to this code of conduct and we are not very much furtherforward. code of conduct and we are not very much further forward. we think starting this process will encourage others to come on and i am pleased that other organisations such as superdrug have worked with us to ensure that their practitioners are registered and that when they offer treatments they will offer the mental health checks and psychological checks we want, so this is a start but we absolutely need to do more and we need to ensure that we don't put pressure on oui’ ensure that we don't put pressure on our young people in particular, on idealised body images, we need to stop celebrities, they need to have a responsibility as role models to ensure they don't peddle useless diet pills or fake ensure they don't peddle useless diet pills orfake remedies, so this is about a whole host of things and about all of society and particularly those practitioners are seeing they have a responsibility. given that there has been a big recent investment in mental health in the nhs in england and party that is because there is as yet a shortage of a kind of trend stuff you need to make that commitment,

aren't you simply going to put more pressure on the nhs on this because it is fine to site refer and get treatment but that referral and treatment but that referral and treatment isn't necessarily available. we as you rightly said are focusing a lot more investment on mental health so another 2.3 billion over the next five years and that means that there will be over 350,000 more attendances if needed for children and young people, but others to, so there is an increasing need for those services and we are investing to provide them, but we can't put the fires is out that other people like emma so this is everybody‘s responsibility to ensure that the well—being and mental health particularly of our children and young people is looked up at. professor stephen powis, thank you very much. thank you. sport, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's mike bushell. it has not been a good 2a hours for bolton fans. absolutely awful.

they're much against brentford is off because of players striking on unpaid wages. contrast the money involved there with the top the premier league. the pressure back on manchester city and the seasoned race for the jackpot. the title race after liverpool kept their challenge going with a zero thrashing of huddersfield. they are two points clear at the top with city playing at burnley tomorrow as andy swiss reports. all sing: liverpool, liverpool, liverpool! there may be the underdogs in the title race, but you would scarcely have guessed it. liverpool fans in bullish mood, hoping for a win to ramp up the pressure on rivals manchester city. and the hosts could afford to be confident — their opponents, huddersfield, after all, are rock bottom of the table. but surely, even they could not have dreamt of a start quite like this. liverpool ahead after just 15 seconds. blink and you'd missed it. but naby keita didn't mind, and fair to say neither did his manager. and jurgen klopp soon had plenty more to celebrate as his players made it look

oh, so simple. the second, courtesy of sadio mane, and when just before the break mo salah added a typically sumptuous third, any lingering anfield nerves had long since vanished. surely, it was nowjust a case of how many and while liverpool weren't quite at their best, they didn't need to be — mane with his second of the night as his side coasted to the most comfortable of wins. it was just what anfield had hoped for and it was all rounded off by salah — a 5—0 thumping and for now, at least, liverpool go top. their premier league title dream is still very much alive. so job done here for liverpool, but they will know that manchester city still have that game in hand and if they win it against burnley on sunday, they will go back on top of the table with just two matches remaining, so this enthralling title race, it seems, is heading right to the wire. andy swiss, bbc news, anfield.

it's an outstanding group of players, obviously, and tonight, they did again very well against a huddersfield side who, i have to say, did much better than the result shows. because we had really to work hard in a lot of situations, so they defended well but especially they had proper counter attacks, so, like, and they played in short spaces and they got set pieces and all this other stuff. it was really work and so, we needed to be patient as well. the boys were that. and then, they scored wonderful goals. so to be built on story. but confirming match against brentford today in the championship is off because the players now refusing to play again until their wages are paid. bolton have already been relegated from the championship to leaguei relegated from the championship to league i and they were hoping a prospective new owner, the former watford owner, would solve the dispute. the players have apologised saying the decision was not taken lightly and the football league will

see what to do next. neil robertson is through to the quarterfinals of the world snooker championships. the australian beach shaun murphy 13—6. robertson won the turner and back in 2010 and is now the tournament favourite once more. my pictures from the crucible in such happy scenes. all fans happy to see the sight of reigning champion mark williams stop can't quite see him there. he is back at the table this morning. he was taken to hospital with chest pains. this was after the second session against david gilbert yesterday. williams has recovered. the just saying it wasn't to do with his heart. they resumed a little while ago and the first frame of the day has gone to gilbert. he has recovered off the table. now williams needs to make a recovery in the actual match. 6—3. you can follow the action on bbc two also on the bbc sport website. newcastle remain bottom of rugby union's

premiership after losing to northampton. silent jumped to premiership after losing to northampton. silentjumped to sixth in the league as they beat bath. both of sales penalties keep their faint hopes of a top four finish alive. that is all this but for now. you can follow of those stories on the bbc sport website including the snicker. —— snooker. thank you for that. mike bushell in the bbc sport centre. more than 90 labour mps and meps — including a number of shadow ministers — have signed a letter demanding the party commits to holding another referendum on any brexit deal. labour's ruling national executive will meet on tuesday to finalise the pa rty‘s manifesto for the european elections, which are due to take place in less than four weeks' time. 0ur political correspondent susana mendonca joins me now. this letter is a bit of a shot across the bow is, isn't it, before they finalise that manifesto. what has riled these mps and meps?|j

think the timing is all because the labour ruling body the nec is going to be deciding on tuesday what goes in the manifesto for the european elections which of course are going to be held or are likely to be held next month unless the prime minister comes up next month unless the prime minister comes up with a deal. and so because they are going to be holding that meeting they will be deciding what goes on and they will have those meps and mps trying to get in there first and make clear that they want this confirmatory referendum to be pa rt this confirmatory referendum to be part of the offer put to people. what has got some riled is that earlier on in the week there was a d raft earlier on in the week there was a draft leaflet that would go out to homes across the country which didn't include any reference to a confirmatory referendum or any kind of referendum and that is something that labour mps had been riled about and some are very concerned about because they want to put across that message that they are a party that would actually offer some kind of save for people at the final deal is. the problem for labour is that

while you have got mps who want that and you have got these 90 or so mps and you have got these 90 or so mps and meps have written this letter, you also have labour mps in constituencies where voters, labour voters, will have voted to leave the european union who are very concerned about the idea that you would include a confirmatory referendum because they say that is something that actually might lose them votes. and so that is the challenge forjeremy corbyn and the labour party. how you square the circle is going to be difficult. presumably it is made more complicated in some ways by the fact it isa complicated in some ways by the fact it is a very crowded field of parties fighting these elections. you almost have more than one choice depending which side of the fence you sit on brexit. in terms of the brexit party we had tom watson saying labour can't afford to sit on the fence because that could lose votes to the brexit party and labour needs to take a position and decision but then on the other side

you have got chains uk the new independent group which has launched in the past week, and then the liberal democrats who had their lunch yesterday which i attended, and then also the green party all of them are very much the remain side of things. in terms of the liberal democrats yesterday, on their banner they had stopped brexit, a very clear message and pointing out that their message is for labour is difficult because if they are sitting on the fence and if people don't know whether or not they will be supporting another referendum or not and then other parties that are, they potentially could lose votes in both directions and that is the challenge for them and then the conservatives have their own problems because they also have mps on either side of the debate, so it makes it i suppose if you are somebody who is looking to vote according to where you stand on brexit, it makes it a very difficult decision to take. it thank you very
