time for a look at the weather. here's louise lear. how is it looking? the bank holiday is around the weekend, always a nightmare for forecasters, are we going to get the forecasters, are we going to get the forecast right? i can guarantee it's not going to be a scorcher, like we had last year. it was a record breaker on may day last year with highs of 29 celsius. we could be breaking records this may day, but for a different reason u nfortu nately. for a different reason unfortunately. it could be one of the coldest bank holiday mondays on record with temperatures only peaking around 13 degrees. in some areas are good four or five down on where they should be for the time of year. it's not a write—off by any means but i'll come back to that shortly. for the here and now it's a case of sunny spells and scattered showers for the rest of the afternoon. some of the showers are starting to gather in intensity and moving further inland, so if you haven't seen any you might see one 01’ haven't seen any you might see one or two this afternoon, some of them heavy with the odd rumble of

thunder. in the far north of scotla nd thunder. in the far north of scotland this is a weather front, a cold front, introducing colder air. temperatures yesterday 18 degrees, today, only 8 degrees. if you are lucky, you might see 15 or 16 in the best of the sunshine. the cold front will stink steadily southwards and will stink steadily southwards and will weaken off, a band of cloud overnight tonight. the cold front will continue to push steadily southwards tomorrow. behind it you can see plenty of isobars, the winds picking up for a northerly direction, a colder source, so tomorrow, friday, it's transition day. the front will continue to push steadily south, taking the showers with it. behind it, colderairand steadily south, taking the showers with it. behind it, colder air and a noticeable difference with the feel of the weather. particularly up north when you factor in the strength of the winds, gusting —— gusting in excess of 50 miles an hourin gusting in excess of 50 miles an hour in the far north—east of scotland. to the south of the front we might scrape double digits, 14-15, but we might scrape double digits, 14—15, but behind it noticeably colder particularly when you factor in the wind, it will feel quite

bitter out there. the cold air continues to push its way across the country for the start of the bank holiday weekend and saturday is going to be a windy day. the potential first thing on saturday morning as well, can you believe it, for a light frost, quite widely, across the country. it will start off with some sunshine. the northerly wind driving showers in off the east coast and some will push further inland but further west we see the best of the shelter, the best of the sunny spells as well. high is if we are looking around 13 degrees but only around 7—8 on the east coast and it will be windy with it. high pressure will start to build from the west on sunday and quieten things down. i do want to stress that actuate, although it will be quite a chilly start to the bank holiday weekend, there will be a lot of dry weather, the winds will fall lighter and all in all, not too bad. that's all from the bbc news at one. it's goodbye from me. 0n bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are.

good afternoon. i am here with your latest sports news. unstoppable, that's howjuergen klopp described lionel messi. liverpool played well for a big part of the game and were still in it at 1—0 down, but they we re still in it at 1—0 down, but they were undone by lionel messi. that brilliant free kick a second goal in a seven minute spell in the second half. it finished 3—0 in spain. a seven minute spell in the second half. it finished 3-0 in spain. i'm a big admirer of him, but my boys didn't show too much respect. we didn't show too much respect. we didn't treat him harshly to get him out of the game. we played just football, and i like that. he is a

world —class football, and i like that. he is a world—class player and we again. i'm not too surprised. there have been cryptic messages from caster semenya suggesting that she is ready to quit athletics. it's after the court of dismissed her challenge against the new rules which restrict testosterone levels in female runners. she is due to run in the first diamond league meet of the season. 0ur reporter is there. she is allowed to run without taking any medication because that new policy does not come into effect for another week or so. she has posted messages on social media, as you say, and on those messages, she says, "knowing when to walk away is wisdom, being able is courage, walking away with your head held high is dignity." she also posted messages in her native tongue and one of those messages finished with the words "i'm finished". we are trying to work out what that means. i am told that caster semenya is in a different hotel to where i am, i have contacted her coach

to see what this means, will she retire or are they cryptic messages of frustration? there is intrigue as to what she will do next. but she has a big decision to make because if she wants to defend her world title later this year, she will have to take the medication to lower her testosterone level in the next week. we are into the semifinals of the world snooker championships in sheffield. judd trump is up against gary wilson this evening. right now, four—time champion john higgins gary wilson this evening. right now, four—time championjohn higgins is playing the 16th seed, dave gilbert was not he is one frame up, he has w011 was not he is one frame up, he has won the first frame that at the crucible theatre. this is gilbert's first semifinal at the crucible and it is early on, as you can see, in the best of 33 match. the first to there. john higgins is one frame up. the tour de yorkshire has just got under way. it runs for 100 11 miles

from doncaster to selby. there were some environmental protesters at the start of the race, unhappy with the ownership of team ineos. the defence coach has been there since 2008. shaun edwards is going to leave the wales rugby union set—up after this year's world cup. he's been defence coach since 2008, and in that time has helped wales win four six nations titles and three grand slams. he's turned down an offer to stay in thejob, and also decided not to become league side wigan's head coach. he's been linked with club jobs in england and france. and rory mcilroy says that tiger woods could have another ten years left as a competitive player. woods — who's 43 — broke his 11—year major championship duck when he won the masters at augusta last month. he's now got 15 major titles, three short of the record set by jack nicklaus. and mcilroy says woods

can match that haul, if he avoids any more injuries. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. let's get more now on the inquest into the death of a nine—year—old who died in 2013. her mother has been campaigning for a new inquest that would link her death to air pollution where she lived in south east london. our correspondence was outside the high court after the result came in. ella had been a healthy young girl up until about 2010, when she developed acute asthma after a chest infection. she then had a period of three years

where 27 visits to hospital. she died in 2013. the original inquest in 2014 said she died as a result of a severe respiratory problem and acute asthma. her family have always maintained that that was directly linked to severe air pollution close to the south circular road in south london, near their home. they live just 100 yards also away from that. i have got ella's mother, rosamond, with me. it has been a long time for you, six years was you were emotional in court. it came down to the line, and i was not sure which way it was going to go. it means so much that we get to the bottom of why she suddenly became ill and died. through my fight, i have realised how much it means to everybody else, the whole world over. they are looking at the uk, they are looking at this case and

what is going to happen. i live in a city that at times, one in nine children as asthma and is suffering. so it is really important for everyone. ella walks along that busy road to school most days. what sort of impact did it have on her health? we found out the impact it has, because it came out of the blue. she was extreme healthy. i held onto that because a child cannot suddenly deteriorate so fast. for me, being a teacher, there had to be an explanation behind it. i didn't know what, so i was determined to get to the bottom of it. i knew there had to be something, but i obviously didn't know what. today is a good day, but we've now got a fresh inquest, so it's not over yet. we need to go through another inquest. it isa need to go through another inquest. it is a victory for today, but the fight continues was top this new

inquest, you want evidence to be heard that shows that her asthma attacks over those three years were directly linked to spikes in a pollution next to that busy road. yes, that is important because there isa yes, that is important because there is a lack of public awareness and hopefully by me talking to you today andl hopefully by me talking to you today and i hope i will continue campaigning to explain the real impact not from a politician's point of view but what it actually does to the human body. we hear the statistics, but that is not what this is about. it is about the impact it has and it has been linked to so many things. i would really beckon the government to take it seriously. you want the death certificate change to have air pollution as a cause put on it. that would be a first. i'm not thinking about it. it is important for her siblings to understand why she died. at the moment, it's not there. she

suffered three comas, so she deserves that. this is her moment, although she is not here, it really is her moment. that was the mother of eller there talking to our correspondence. as we heard earlier, the founder of wikileaks, julian assange as we heard earlier, the founder of wikilea ks, julian assange has as we heard earlier, the founder of wikileaks, julian assange has been in court hearing whether he should be extradited to the united states, where he is accused of hacking into a pentagon computer. there has been huge interest in this appearance at westminster magistrates today. despite that, it isa simple magistrates today. despite that, it is a simple procedural hearing. he appeared via video link from belmarsh prison, and said that he did not consent to being extradited to the united states. the case was adjourned until a later date. what we have with more detail over these alleged offences between him and

chelsea manning, a former intelligence analyst. we were told they are sensually conspired together to release secret details. he is being accused of being behind one of the biggest leaks in us government history. hundreds of his supporters turned up today, and many we re supporters turned up today, and many were disappointed because they were not actually allowed into court. it was only lawyers and journalists allowed inside. they were shouting at us, the legal team and the journalists watching what was going on. people are passionate about what is going on. peter tatchell turned up is going on. peter tatchell turned upa is going on. peter tatchell turned up a today, campaigning forjulian assigns to be released was up also larry love, a hacker who america wa nted larry love, a hacker who america wanted to extradite. that. by the british courts. julian a sound is

hoping that they follow that path. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... a report commissioned by the government says the uk should become a world leader in tackling climate change, by cutting greenhouse gases to almost zero by 2050. the former defence secretary, gavin williamson, stresses his innocence after he was sacked over a leak from a national security council meeting. a new inquest is ordered into the death of nine—year—old london girl ella kissi—debrah — her mother believes she was killed by air pollution. i'm maryam moshiri. in the business news: canadian aerospace firm bombardier has announced plans to sell its aerostructures business in belfast. the company says it will be working closely with employees and unions, through any future transition. more on that shortly.

it's pistols at dawn for the board at barclays as they face a showdown with a rebel investor. edward bramson wants to strong—arm the board, byjoining it, to force them into scaling back its investment banking operations as expected, the bank of england has kept interest rates on hold at 0.75%. uncertainty over brexit has been one reason why the bank of england has been reluctant to raise interest rates. the bank has however upped its growth forecast for this yearfrom1.2%to1.5%. the bank of england has raised its uk growth forecast for this year, in part because the outlook for the global economy is a bit brighter. the bank now sees growth of 1.5% this year, up from february's forecast of 1.2%. of 1.5% this year, up as expected, the bank kept interest rates on hold at 0.75%.

let's talk to business correspondentjonty bloom. growth for the first three months is expected to be slower than it was previously thought. companies were stockpiling their reserves of head what they expect to be the brexit date, which has been delayed. the bank of england thinks there will be a knock—on effect from that. its growth forecast for next year is still going to be lower, about 1.2%. the overall effect is that growth is slightly higher than expected. yet it is still keeping interest rates on hold at 0.75%. the brexit fog is still well and truly there. how do you see interest rates moving? any clues to where they will go in the next you months. they did say they will willing to raise interest rates in the future and quicker than

usual. that is a bullish sounding detail, because what they are warning about is inflation in one or two years. it is forecast to be well above the bank of england's target of 2%, but it isn't moving at the moment. the reason for that is that you would expect the bank of eglin to say, if inflation will be above target in future, we should act now to increase interest rates to take the heat of the economy. the reason we think he is not doing that is the uncertainty about brexit, that it is still hanging over the economy and they don't know which way it will go. they might need to cut interest rates to stimulus the economy after brexit, they might need to put them up brexit, they might need to put them up to slow down inflation. they are keeping their powder dry, in a sense. thank you. shares in metro bank hit a new record low after the bank revealed the fallout from a recent

reporting error had hit its financial performance in the first quarter. business spending on sports sponsorship is set to hit 35 billion pounds this year. up 22% in just 5 years. estimates suggest that rights holders are missing out to the tune of 30% of their revnue, because they're failing to respond to digital media consumption. would you like to reduce your working week to four days? the wellcome trust, which is a global, charitable foundation thought about it — and then decided against it. a director at the trust, ed whiting told bbc radio 5's wake up to money that it decided it couldn't be done "responsibly". though he maintained in theory there was no one job that couldn't be done overfour days. and briefly on the markets, there is the metro bank share price. they

have revealed the fallout from their reporting error hit their financial performance in the first quarter. lloyds banking group has set aside a further £100m to cover payment protection insurance mis—selling as it reported flat quarterly profits. workers at bombardier‘s northern ireland operations face a period of uncertainty as the aerospace firm announced it was putting its belfast operation up for sale as part of a reorganisation of the business. the company, which also has factories in morocco, is selling its entire aerostructures operation. the canadian aircraft manufacturer employs about 3,600 people across several locations in northern ireland. let's talk to susan fitzgerald from unite. first of all your reaction to the

news today. we were respecting an announcement, but i don't think the idea of a sale has shocked our members. this is a workforce used in negative announcements and it remains to be seen what the implications of this latest announcement is. if someone is going to come in and invest and expand and secure jobs, to come in and invest and expand and securejobs, going forward, we to come in and invest and expand and secure jobs, going forward, we are 0k secure jobs, going forward, we are ok with that. but it remains to see what this will mean for the workforce was top bomb body eight said they will be working closely with the unions to find a solution to this was doctor you have any idea who might be interested? it is a world —class who might be interested? it is a world—class workforce producing a world —class world—class workforce producing a world—class product. every major player in this sector will be interested. it's too early to speculate about who will come forward. that is something we will be keeping a close eye on. we have also raised the prospect with greg clark that if this sale process is

not successful, that the government need to leave a significant pressure on bob —— bombardier. 0ur need to leave a significant pressure on bob —— bombardier. our only priority is to ensure continuity of employment of those workers, and the retention of skills in northern ireland. this company has a huge impact on the northern ireland economy, both through the workforce and the supply chain. i'm suppose you have been talking about this in last week's was not how are your workforce feeling about this uncertainty? inevitably, uncertainty creates fear and anxiety. as i say, this is a workforce who have suffered what has felt like death by 1000 cuts as a result of the ongoing redundancies and swingeing cuts by

this company. they have an attitude that they don't care what name is over the gate of the factory or the numerous factories, so long as their jobs are secure and there is a basis for expansion going forward. 0k, thank you. that's all the business news. i will have more throughout the afternoon. one of the official pacers at the london marathon has told the victoria derbyshire programme that she and her fellow runners were treated "horrifically" during the race on sunday, including being called fat and slow by contractors who were clearing up around them. liz ayres volunteered to be a slow pacer, but says she was being bumped by road sweepers and sprayed by chemicals. victoria spoke to her earlier, as well as the event director for the london marathon, hugh brasher. for the first mile, it wasn't too bad. we came out at the start,

everyone was cheering and clapping. it was brilliant. then we got to about 1.5 miles in and we were being overtaken by flatbed trucks, transit vans. i was concerned because they were weaving in and out of runners, so i was trying to run between runners and tell them no headphones, because these vehicles were coming through. i couldn't understand why that was happening because the road was supposed to be closed. i only started about 20 minutes beforehand, and already we had these vehicles. then after about two miles, we noticed they were spraying things on the road. let me bring in the event director for the london marathon, who is over your shoulder. what do you think about the way liz and her fellow slower runners were treated ? we have apologised to liz and we are very sorry

to hear that her experience was the antithesis of what we try to provide as an experience. we have apologised and we are conducting an investigation. can i stop you there? i have had hundreds of messages from the running community in support of the slower runners. i have also had hundreds of messages and tweets from runners from previous years, from 2014, ‘15, ‘16, i will happily send them onto you, and they all complained the same thing, timing mats being pulled up before they have even got to the halfway point. cleaning going on around them, no support, no water. this has gone on for years and the only reason you are taking notice now is because one of your official pacers, one you asked for, as your analysis said you needed support for the runners at the back, you asked for us. i did myjob and you set me up to fail, you set me up

to fail those runners. we didn't, we beat you. i will not stand for this because it is going on every year. i'm sorry, but we didn't set you up to fail. you set cleaning crews on my tail one mile out. i was 17 minutes into a race and you set cleaning crews on my tail, coaches on my tail. why ask me to do a job if you are not going to support me? why you not going to support my runners? we changed... exactly as you said, at the start there were contractors that got ahead of you. as a result of that, the event control room got those contractors changed to go behind you. we have a cut—off of seven hours whereby we have to start reopening the road system. we are in the busiest capital city, in one of the biggest in the world. we have a finite amount of time to get people on the course.

what we have to understand is what went on. doctors in the united states have, for the first time, used a drone to fly a human organ for a transplant. aircraft is airborne. it's hoped the breakthrough will speed up the moving of organs and save more lives. the university of maryland spent three years developing the drone and fitted it with specialist equipment to monitor the organ, such as devices to measure temperature. although it was a shortjourney — just five kilometres — the team behind it said the distance was just a starting point. now it's time for a look at the weather. sunny spells and scattered showers are what we have to look forward to

for most of the rest of the day. the best of the weather was across the east of england. the showers have been widespread across north wales and into the south—west of england. we are also seeing a weather front pushing into the far north of scotland. that will make its way south overnight. for the rest of the day, we will see more showers developing. some quite widespread with rumbles of thunder across england and wales. in the sunshine, if you dodge the showers, pleasant enough with highs of 16. noticeably colder in the far north and east of scotland. that weather front continues to sink south, a cold front introducing much colder air. it will weaken to a band of cloud as it continues to push southwards, but the winds will strengthen in the final. and they will swing round from a north or north—west of 8 degrees, making it feel really quite raw on exposed coast. by friday, the cold air pushes right across

scotland, northern ireland and northern england. the weatherfront isa northern england. the weatherfront is a band of cloud and shall refrain here, breezy, but the strongest of the winds in the far north of scotland, gusting in excess of 50 miles to our across the northern ireland. to the south of the weather front, temperatures in double digits with highs of 15. behind it, cold, just 6 degrees on the eastern coast, and it will feel quite bitter in the northern winter. it was not of cold weather bank holiday weekend and the potential for a widespread frost on saturday morning. that is worth bearing in mind. a chilly start, a windy start and the winds come all the way down from the north, driving in showers along the east coast. some of those push further inland. sheltered western area see the best of the dry weather, but those temperatures really struggle. 11 degrees at best, and feeling noticeably colder on the east coast.

moving into sunday, this little area of high pressure will build and kill off some of the showers, so as we go through the weekend it is not a write—off by any means. there will bea write—off by any means. there will be a good deal of dry weather in the story and winds will be lighter.

hello, you're watching afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. today at 2:00pm: sacked defence secretary gavin williamson says he's the victim of a kangaroo court — the government says it won't call in the police. the prime minister has said that she now considers that this matter has been closed and the cabinet secretary does not consider it necessary to refer it to the police. switch to electric vehicles, eat less meat and plant more trees — what you will need to do if the uk is to hit an ambitious new target for the uk to cut carbon emissions to zero. aerospace firm bombardier is putting its belfast operation up for sale as part of a reorganisation of the business. it's selling its entire aerostructures operation.
