killed in the london bridge attacks almost two years ago. cross—party talks to break the brexit deadlock are due to resume after both the conservatives and labour suffered disappointing results in last week's local elections. two reuters journalists jailed in myanmar for their reporting on the rohingya crisis have been freed. the time a teenager spends on social media has only a small negative effect on how happy they are, according to a new study. and in sport, manchester city are just one win away from back—to—back premier league titles, after vincent kompany‘s wonder goal against leicester last night.

good morning from windsor, where the arrival of a new heir to the throne was announced by town crier yesterday. we are waiting to find out the name of baby sussex, as he is known, one—day—old already. we do not think we will hear the name until tomorrow. there is a huge amount of speculation about what it might be as royal tradition battled with this very modern couple. how will they combine tradition and, perhaps, their desire for a more modern let's see. we do not know if there had been any visitors to the new arrival yet. we know the prince of wales and duchess of cornwall are on a four day trip to germany, so have they managed to pop along to the duke and duchess‘ new home, frogmore cottage? we do not know. and we do not know whether the baby was born at home

here on the windsor estate, there is some speculation that he may have been born in a hospital somewhere, but all these details are being kept under wraps at the moment. but as prince harry acknowledged in that wonderful meeting with the cameras yesterday where he was so absolutely overjoyed to announce the birth of his son, mother and baby are both doing well. the duke and duchess of cambridge, william and catherine, announced they are very much looking forward to meeting the new arrival, a new cousin for prince george, princess charlotte and prince louis. our first princess charlotte and prince louis. ourfirst report comes princess charlotte and prince louis. our first report comes from a royal correspondence nicholas witchell. news of baby sussex‘s birth has been disseminated far and wide, from the bt tower, in central london, to the broadcast media of many countries. it is official, it is a boy! the royal family has welcomed a new member with meghan markle giving birth to a baby boy. breaking news, prince harry hasjust made the announcement, it is a boy.

but of baby sussex, of course, there has been no sign. it is now reported that meghan did go to hospital to have the birth induced, dashing her hopes of a home birth. the palace has so far offered no comment. but after the birth had been announced, a clearly delighted harry said there would be a sight of their son in a couple of days. we‘ll be seeing you guys in probably two days‘ time as planned, as a family to be able to share it with you guys so everyone can see the baby. among the things harry and meghan will have to decide now is, of course, a name, and whether they want their son to have a royal title. as a great—grandson of a monarch, he doesn‘t get one automatically. might these modern royals feel that the life of this anglo—american member of the british royalfamily would be easier without one? they have time to think about that. nicholas witchell, bbc news. as well wishes pour in from across the world, we‘ve been in california — where the duchess of sussex is from — asking people

there what they make of the news. interesting to see some of the us papers, the new york times calling this a royal baby and a sign of change, the la times opinion pieces baby sussex, as he has called for the moment, will have an extraordinarily privileged life, we can only hope he will eventually live in a post—racial world. we have got a flavour of some of the reaction in los angeles. i think it‘s amazing, and being a black woman i am really proud that we can have a royal black woman in leadership, so that‘s awesome. we are very happy about the news and we wish them all the best. and many more. may the royal family continue to thrive. a baby is a baby is a baby, right? but it‘s probably adorable. once others were surmising yesterday that baby sussex was born at home in

frogmore cottage because we knew the family were back there very shortly after the birth let some of us were surmising yesterday. but he may have been born at hospital. we will not know the facts until the couple had to register the birth and register where he was born. what is important about that is that it sets the tone, it sets the pace for the royal couple. they want to protect the privacy of their young son well same time understanding that so many people around the world want to see those first images and know more about the new royal baby, but i would imagine they are determined to set the pace and be in charge of when those details and how many details eventually emerge. for the moment, back to you, joanna. the inquests start today into the deaths of those who died in the london bridge

and borough market attack almost two years ago. eight people were killed by three attackers who were then shot dead by armed police. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford has more details. it was the night of saturday june 3rd 2017. three men drove a hired van onto london bridge, killing two pedestrians, xavier thomas and christine archibald. they then got out and rampaged through the borough market area, stabbing to death another six people enjoying a summer saturday night out. sara zelenak, sebastien belanger, james mcmullan, alexandre pigeard, kirsty boden and ignacio echeverria. eventually the attackers were shot dead by police officers. the inquests, starting today, are being conducted by the chief coroner mark lucraft qc. over the next two and a half months the court will hear details of how each person died. the relatives of those killed are looking for answers to two key questions. why were there no barriers to protect pedestrians on the bridge more than ten weeks after the westminster bridge attack?

and how was it that khuram butt was able to prepare for and carry out such a murderous assault while he was still being being investigated by mi5 for possible attack planning? the inquests will also hear details of acts of remarkable heroism by civilians and police officers that night. after a restful bank holiday weekend, politicians are back to work today, with a lot of activity expected in westminster. cross—party talks over brexit are set to recommence this afternoon as the prime minister hopes to end the impasse in parliament. philip hammond, stephen barclay and david lidington will attend the talks on behalf of the government, with keir starmer, john mcdonnell and rebecca long bailey in place for labour. theresa may will have discussions with the chairman of the 1922 committee of conservative backbenchers graham brady later today, as calls increase for her to set a firm resignation date.

in the last hour it has been confirmed by conservative party grassroots members will be holding a no—confidence vote in theresa may on june 15, it is non—binding but will put her under more pressure if they support that vote of no confidence. and theresa may is also expected to chair a meeting of the cabinet today. this will be the first time ministers have met since the conservatives lost over 1300 councillors in last week‘s local elections. our assistant political editor norman smithjoins me now. well, that is a rude awakening after the bank holiday weekend? quite a shopping list of to—dos for the pm, and it comes when the pressure on her over brexit keeps mounting, with sirgraham her over brexit keeps mounting, with sir graham brady going to see her, in affected demand she told him when she is planning to quit. so far she has simply said she will leave when she has brexit done. tory backbenchers want a much clearer timeline, some suggesting they want her gone by the end ofjune. as we

had just heard, the body representing tory grassroots, local chairman, regional officials, those sorts of people, the national conservative convention, having understood they will hold an emergency general meeting immediately after the european elections in june 15, a immediately after the european elections injune 15, a fortnight after the european elections, to decide whether to pass a no—confidence motion in mrs may. that would not on its own. mrs may i would but it would be unprecedented and would hugely crank up the pressure on mrs may —— that would not, on its own, forced mrs may out. so her only hope seems to be striking a deal with labour to get her brexit deal through, given we know that many tory mps are bitterly opposed to any deal with labour because they are not prepared to accept labour‘s plans for a customs union and are very unhappy about the idea of a deal withjeremy corbyn,

because they say their central argument has been that he is not fit to be prime minister, so how could you do a deal with him? albeit, the chancellor philip hammond, in paris this morning, defended mrs may‘s decision to keep on talking to mr corbyn. the most important thing is we put in place arrangements which allow us to have as low friction trade as possible between the uk and eu after we have left the eu. of course we should talk to the labour party about how to do that. we tried to get a deal through parliament, we we re get a deal through parliament, we were not able to get a parliamentary majority, so we have to find a compromise which can gain a parliamentary majority. the prospects of a cross—party deal is still an extraordinary long reach, because not only are many tories unhappy, so i many labour members and activists about a deal

which they say would eventually rescuing theresa may. but in the wa ke rescuing theresa may. but in the wake of the local elections, now is probably the best chance mrs may will get to strike a deal because of the brexit backlash and the hope it will have concentrated notjust the views of tory mps but also mr corbyn, having seen significant losses in labour leave councils in the north and midlands, and the hope of those in downing street is that may just push of those in downing street is that mayjust pushjeremy corbyn toward striking a deal to get brexit done. when would it be clear whether these talks will keep going or willjust say we will never get there? nobody is putting a hard and fast deadline but i would say that by the end of the week, mrs may would like to know one way or the other about whether jeremy corbyn is serious, and the reason i think is because she has given itself a deadline ofjune 2a,

the european parliament sits on during the 24th. so the thinking is that that would leave enough time if a deal could be done by the end of this week, beginning of next, to get the legislation through to avoid sending british nep is to brussels and strasbourg. i would guess that by close of play this week the pm will want to know definitively or not, in her own mind, whetherjeremy corbyn will bite on a deal or not. thank you very much, norman. later today, a fresh round of talks aimed at restoring devolution in northern ireland will begin later, in an attempt to end nearly two and a half years of political deadlock. the talks were announced by the british and irish governments after the shooting dead of the journalist lyra mckee. let‘s talk to our correspondent in belfast, emma vardy. how much expectation all hope is there around these talks? as hearsay, these talks were hastened

by the death of lyra mckee, shot by the new ira in londonderry. the outpouring of grief that came as a result of that also brought this renewed public pressure on the main parties to reconcile their differences and get back into government at stormont, almost two and a half years northern ireland has been without a power—sharing executive. it all collapsed during yea rs executive. it all collapsed during years ago when martin mcguinness of sinn fein walked out in protest over the mishandling of a green energy scheme, but in that time there has been a bitter stand—off between the two main parties, the dup and sinn fein, and the bitter stalemate includes lots of other issues that need to be resolved. so will they ove i’co m e need to be resolved. so will they overcome those? i think the death of lyra mckee has brought a renewed appetite for compromise, but there is still a big divide of the sinn fein‘s demand for an irish language act and big division over the requirement for same—sex marriage to

be legalised. there is renewed optimism on one hand, if you like, but at the same time it will be very difficult, deep divisions remain and the parties are fighting the election campaign for the european elections, which during election campaigns being fought on the doorstep, it always makes softening of position and compromise more difficult. so what would you expect to happen in the coming days in terms of whether there is likely to be faster progress or not?|j terms of whether there is likely to be faster progress or not? i don't think we can expect any great progress quickly, today all the parties are getting around the table for a bit of a roundtable discussion, mainly to determine the format for how things go forward. you have the other outstanding issues to contend with and we expect perhaps some suggestions for working groups, brainstorming over the format which might help to provide resolution in the days ahead, and we should know more after that. it will be all the main parties in northern

ireland around the table, but the two big ones who have to resolve their differences are the biggest nationalist and unionist parties, the dup and sinn fein. i don‘t expect anything particularly quick, we have seen previous rounds of talks come to nothing. in february last year, even the prime minister, theresa may, came out here because it seemed like an agreement was on the brink and it fell apart at the last moment, so the track record of finding resolution here has not been great, but perhaps the fresh optimism and fresh public pressure brought by the death of lyra mckee may provide a slightly different atmosphere for the talks this time around. thank you. the headlines on bbc news... congratulations from around the world for prince harry and meghan as they announce the birth of a baby boy. the inquest opens at the old bailey today into the deaths of eight people killed in the london bridge attacks almost two years ago. cross—party talks to break the brexit deadlock are due to resume after both the conservatives and labour suffered disappointing results

in last week‘s local elections. in sport, manchester city are one win away from retaining the premier league title after an incredible goalfrom their captain league title after an incredible goal from their captain vincent secured victory against leicester last night. james haskell has an entity will retire from rugby union at the end of the season. the 34—year—old has been capped 77 times by england but has been plagued by injury since joining northampton from qatar wasps last year. andy murray has been given a wild ca rd andy murray has been given a wild card for queens next month. the former world number one will decide nearer the time if he is fit enough to compete following hip surgery in january. i will be back with more ad just after half past. a man arrested on suspicion of abducting and raping three women in and around london is being investigated for other attacks involving nine more victims in north—west england. joseph mccann, who‘s 3a, was arrested on sunday night

in cheshire after two 14—year—old girls were abducted in congleton. andy moore reports. joseph mccann was arrested after a nationwide hunt for a man described by police as "extremely dangerous". he had already been linked to three rapes in the london area, when a reward of £20,000 was offered for information leading to his capture. police said that, on his last day of freedom, mccann is believed to have carried out a series of savage attacks. they are a grotesque and appalling series of offences that are, thankfully, exceptionally rare. police said that mccann was accused of attacking nine people in the north—west, in the space ofjust over ten hours. at 8:00 in the morning on sunday at haslingden in lanchashire, a woman in her 30s was falsely imprisoned. a teenage girl and an 11—year—old boy were raped. at about 1:30 that afternoon, a 71—year—old woman was abducted and raped in bury, manchester.

at 3:30pm at heywood in manchester, two 13—year—old boys were abducted and a 13—year—old girl was sexually assaulted. at 6:30pm in congleton, two 14—year—old girls were forced into a car. that led to a police chase and a collision with another car. the suspect fled on foot and was eventually found in a tree. he was arrested in the early hours, yeasterday night, and is now in the custody of police in london. andy moore, bbc news. a recent report by the house of lords found that the british seaside has been perceived as a sort of national embarrassment and deserves attention. as part of a special day of coverage, bbc news is exploring the challenges and opportunities for communities in coastal areas. according to the report, towns like great yarmouth in norfolk have been neglected for too long and are in desperate need of reinvention. great yarmouth on the east coast of england is home to 98,000 people. 86,000 of those are britain citizens

and 12,000 from outside the uk. the percentage of people claiming out of work benefits is double the national average, with one in ten people claiming universal credit. susie fowler—watt, presenter of bbc look east, is is there for us now. give us more of a flavour of great yarmouth? you have come to us on the seafront in great yarmouth, one of the most easterly parts of great britain. ona the most easterly parts of great britain. on a hot summer‘s day, the beach behind me, the britannia p, the joy land an beach behind me, the britannia p, thejoy land an easement park would be buzzing with people, but these communities face real issues year round. the unemployment rate in the east of england is one of the lowest in the country, but in great yarmouth the unemployment rate is more than double the national average. one in ten people in great yarmouth and the surrounding area are on universal credit. that is the

benefit that has been ruled out by the government, the all in one benefit, and great yarmouth is one of the first places to get universal credit, it has caused some real problems. people falling into arrears, with delays in payment and some landlords even saying they will not rent to people on universal credit. one primary school head teacher in the town has said her school has had to become the fourth emergency service to help families cope. ashleyjohn button 20 metre. great yarmouth. like many coastal towns, deprivation is an issue and it is something one primary school in the area knows about all too well. sharon is a support visor and helped set up a food bank at the school. michael is a parent. we will start with breakfast, what do you prefer? why do you have to come here? we are on universal credit,

they think we can live on the money they think we can live on the money they give us, and we can‘t. they think we can live on the money they give us, and we can't. how important is the school? major league, majorly important for me and my family. without the food bank and the school, we would be stuffed. i would have had to go out stealing, but i don‘t. would have had to go out stealing, but i don't. you would have to go out stealing without the school? yes. it was the head teacher‘s decision to stop a food back last autumn in response to an increase in student turning up hungry de jager to stop the food bank. in order for a child to come into school ready to learn, there is a raft of things that need to be in place. they need to be fed, warm, feels safe. it is difficult. we have had parents who had founded difficult to manage financially to feed their children because of the introduction of the universal

credit. great yarmouth was one of the first uk tends to roll out universal credit, replacing six benefits with one monthly payment. the government says it is simpler and fairer, but the school says some parents are struggling. one of those parents is lee, he is learning to cook at the school alongside others going through to times. it was eight weeks due to universal credit payments, so in the meantime the school was a great help in giving us food parcels. but the school‘s ability to help disadvantaged families faces a new thread. the school budget is being heard. staff will have to go, debbie‘sjob will be heard. staff will have to go, debbie‘s job will be on the line. will i had to rely on the food bank? who knows? i am a single—parent with children. one of those things. it can‘t be helped.

yeah. this is just yeah. this isjust one yeah. this is just one school at the front line of change. well, there is some brightness on the horizon, literally this horizon, with three of the largest wind farms in the world due to be constructed, one is already under way. the hope is that it will bring more jobs and money into the local economy. more on that later in the programme. thank you. the time a teenager spends on social media has only a small negative effect on how happy they are, according to a new study. university of oxford reseachers say concerns that social media is creating a generation of depressed teenagers are overstated and that family, friends and school—life all had a greater impact on wellbeing. professor andrew przybylski co—authored the study and said a person‘s happiness has little to do with their use

of social media. young people and many adults use social media in very interactive, creative ways — to learn new skills, new recipes, new exercise routines. but i think, kind of thinking more broadly, the question is, "is there really something special about social media time?" you know, we were worried about dungeons and dragons and violent video games and rap music and even dime novels, and so the real question is, "is there anything special about social media besides, you know, just the idea that young people get quite wrapped up in it?" our correspondentjon donnisonjoins me now. how significant is this reporter? anyone with kids, and any of us that go on social media, worry about the effect? we are forever telling our children to stop looking at the screen. children to stop looking at the screen. this was an extensive survey looking at 12,000 children and teenagers aged between ten and 15

over several yea rs, teenagers aged between ten and 15 over several years, they tried to correlate their mood, their happiness, well—being, with the amount of social media use. it was a survey —based study so they were just asking children and teenagers to indicate what their mood was, how happy they were feeling, but it came out pretty clearly and said that, basically, social media use had a negligible, tiny impact on a child‘s happiness and other factors, negligible, tiny impact on a child‘s happiness and otherfactors, the number of friends they had, relationships with their family, appearance, had a far greater impact. i spoke to the professor and asked him about the amount of time bet obviously if you are on social media it occupies you in a way that you could be doing something else, in his view, it could be constructive and adds to our sum of

understanding? he was saying kids might not be exercising, bid on social media they may be finding out about new sports clubs, interests etc. you need to separate the issue of social media use and actual screen of social media use and actual screen time, there has been a lot of research showing that too much screen research showing that too much screen time, particularly at night, can have a negative impact on things like sleep and the amount of exercise you are getting, the amount of time you are spending with family and friends. i think this study is saying the focus has been too much and how much time is being spent and not about what young people are looking at. the authors of this survey wa nt looking at. the authors of this survey want the social media companies to give access to their data to specifically look at exactly what children are watching. what are we to make of it all? what should we all be doing? it is very difficult,

we went back to the 50s, people were talking about social media —— mega detective novels, as the interviewee said. if you went back to the 18th century they were talking about the moral dangers of the novel. one argument is that it is just progress, but as a parent you look at your children looking up the screen at your children looking up the screen and you think, this cannot be doing them any good. thank you, jon. simon king has the weather. sunshine across many parts of southern england and south wales, a touch warmer than yesterday across these seven parts. further north, showers develop this afternoon across north wales and the midlands into east anglia, showery outbreaks of rain continue in some areas. showers across parts of scotland, for many others the temperatures are

about 1913 celsius, 15 in the south, about 1913 celsius, 15 in the south, a tad warmer. a band of rain will move and later from the south—west, it will be a fairly mild night for most of england and wales, a touch of frost in the far north—east of scotland. this area of low pressure moves through wednesday, some welcome rain for gardeners and growers. the rain will push north and west. brighter skies developing behind it but heavy, slow—moving and thundery showers across england and wales. disappointingly cool in the north—east with a brisk easterly wind and all the rain moving through.

hello this is bbc newsroom live withjoanna gosling. the headlines: congratulations from around the world for prince harry and meghan, as they celebrate the birth of a baby boy. as every father and parent would ever say, your baby is absolutely amazing but this

little thing is absolutely to die for so i am just over the moon. there‘s excitement in windsor — as well as in meghan‘s home city of los angeles — at the new arrival. the inquest opens at the old bailey, into the deaths of eight people killed in the london bridge attacks, almost two years ago. cross—party talks to break the brexit deadlock are due to resume, after both the conservatives and labour suffered disappointing results, in last week‘s local elections. two reuters journalists jailed in myanmar, for their reporting on the rohingya crisis, have been freed. the time a teenager spends on social media only has a small negative effect on how happy they are, according to a new study. sport now, here‘s hugh woozencroft. good morning. the premier league title race will go right to the wire after manchester city returned to the top with a 1—0 win over leicester.

it was a nervy night at the etihad — but there was a collective sigh of relief in the 70th minute when captain vincent kompany scored this superb goal — probably the most important of his career. city go into the last day of the season with a one point lead over liverpool. it is in our hands. so we cannot forget, we could have been ten points behind if we had lost here. we were seven points behind, but we are in the last game, you know, in our hands. more on liverpool‘s game against barcelona at anfield tonight withjurgen klopp‘s side looking to overturn a 3—0 deficit from the first leg of their champions league semi—final. it‘s an even taller order given that they‘ll have to do it without mohammed salah and roberto firmino. we have to score for our goals against barcelona to go through after 90 minutes. it doesn't make

life easier, but still, as long as we have 11 players on the pitch, and we have 11 players on the pitch, and we will try it, and everyone knows that, that's what we want to show, nothing else. james haskell has announced that he‘s to retire from rugby union at the end of the season, after a fantastic 17 year career. haskell was capped 77 times by england — winning three six nations titles — but has been plagued by injuries since joining northampton saints last year. the 34—year—old flanker spent most of his career with wasps, where he helped win the rugby champions cup in 2007. israel folau has been found guilty of a "high level breach" of rugby australia‘s player code of conduct. he had his contract terminated last month after saying that "hell awaits" gay people in a social media post. a three—person panel presided over a personal hearing that had been requested by folau after the initial sanction had been imposed. the panel will now consider what punishment the 30—year—old will face.

leeds rhinos have sacked head coach david furner after just 1a league games. furner took over during the winter but leeds have struggled since his arrival. they are third —from—bottom of super league afterjust four league wins this season. richard agar will act as interim head coach until a permanent replacement is found. five time winner andy murray has been given a wildcard for queen‘s next month as he continues to work on a return to action. the former world number one will decide nearer the time if he‘s fit enough to compete. murray had hip surgery injanuary and has not played since. in march, he rated his chances of playing in the wimbledon singles this year as 50—50. judd trump has claimed his first world championship title after a 18—9 victory overjohn higgins. the 29—year—old had, at one point, threatened to wrap up victory before the final session. the 29—year—old had, at one point, threatened to wrap up victory before the final session. in the end he had to wait until last

night though for the win and £500,000 in prize money. it makes him the first player in history to win a million in a season. my my dad is the biggest snooker fan in the world. he watches every game every time i‘m on tv. it isjust inspiring to see his motivation in snooker. there have been some tough times and some bad losses, but i thinkjust the inspiration to really win it for him is what got me through. congratulations to trump. that‘s all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. let‘s return our top stary — the arrival of the royal baby. annita mcveigh is at windsor castle. lots of tourist as you would have on

every given day. lots of excitement with the news of the royal birth, with the news of the royal birth, with some banners and balloons attached to railings right in the town centre. perhaps they will be playing congratulations to mark the arrival of this new baby boy. they beat sussex as he is still known, we mightfind beat sussex as he is still known, we might find out that name tomorrow. joining me now is emily nash, royal editor of hello magazine. good to have you with us. what is interesting is that there are some details emerging suggesting that the duchess did not give birth at home at frogmore cottage on the windsor estate, but could have given birth in hospital. that‘s not a big deal, but what is interesting, is those details have not been confirmed by the couple yet, suggesting they want to control the flow of the information. i think that's right. i think they have shown that they want to keep the details private, until

they have a time to enjoy them as a family. i think they are very concerned, not to take the focus away from this happy moment. they don‘t want it to be about the process. some people are superstitious, as well, you want to know that they are here safely, and the details can follow. it will be a matter of public record, it will be on the baby‘s birth certificate, so we will find out eventually, but they are making us wait a little longer then we asked newshounds like. and whether she had the baby here or in hospital does not matter as long as the baby is ok. it does suggest that they really want to set the pace about information, and it gives us the clue about how they might handle any future information. absolutely. they are doing things the —— make their own way. they did go live on television in a way that

not many people expected, or where even aware of until it happened. it is very much about having to speak more directly to people, and get that message across. whether that is going to be a popular move with the traditional media remains to be seen, but, the baby is here and save, and perhaps they did not want that pressure of people standing outside a hospital and urging them on. speaking of that speculation, huge speculation about what this baby will be called. here you have a very modern couple, alongside the tradition of the royal family. very modern couple, alongside the tradition of the royalfamily. which side will win out, do you think?” would like to see a bit of both. maybe some traditional names in there. perhaps a philip, or even a chance. i think they may take this opportunity to go a bit more left field with the name, go for something with an american

background, perhaps african—american background, perhaps african—american background, reflecting meghan‘s background. this baby is incredibly unlikely to end up on the throne in this country, and so far, from what we know, will be a private citizen, not an we know, will be a private citizen, notan hrh, we know, will be a private citizen, not an hrh, or a we know, will be a private citizen, notan hrh, ora prince, we know, will be a private citizen, not an hrh, or a prince, therefore they have a lot more freedom. not an hrh, or a prince, therefore they have a lot more freedomm not an hrh, or a prince, therefore they have a lot more freedom. it was interesting looking at the us media overnight. looking at the royal baby isa sign overnight. looking at the royal baby is a sign of change. how much do you think this new addition to the royal family, we don‘t know what role will be presented to him —— presented to him, or he will carve out himself, but do you think you will be somebody that will represent a real change in at the royal family, somebody that will represent a real change in at the royalfamily, not only in how they see themselves, but in how the world sees them. its hugely symbolic. we don‘t want to put too much pressure on this baby, asa put too much pressure on this baby, as a beacon of change, butjust the very fa ct

as a beacon of change, butjust the very fact that we have a baby at the heart of the royal family, who very fact that we have a baby at the heart of the royalfamily, who is from a mixed heritage. it‘s fantastic. but, you know... and that‘s really crucial in moving the monarchy forward. 0k, great to talk to you. emily, thank you very much. emily, editor at hello magazine. we should hopefully find out tomorrow, prince harry seem to give a pretty clear signal yesterday when he spoke in front of the cameras to announce the arrival of his little boy. he said, to our days and we will have more details for you. hopefully, those first images that people are very those first images that people are very eager those first images that people are very eager to those first images that people are very eager to see, those first images that people are very eager to see, and also, perhaps that name, right now, the baby is maybe sussex, the earl of dumbarton. it is quite a title. —— baby sussex. right back to you joanna from

windsor. thank you very much. we are staying across the instagram. schools will be told to stop using exclusions to boost results from today amid concerns thousands of children are disappearing from classroom registers. a government—backed inquiry led by the former children‘s minister edward timpson demands headteachers be accountable for the exam records of pupils they remove. our education correspondent, frankie mccamley reports. ill—equipped to deal with kids with behavioural issues... jez benstoke‘s son had behavioural issues. he left mainstream education and came to this alternative provision school. you he is a kid who had been through the care system anyway, been through fostering, so he felt rejected, so when he came are here, of course, it was not easy to start with but, for us as parents, the massive sense of relief that our kid was being accepted and that people were trying to understand him rather thanjust wanting him to behave.

so you can see, this is somewhere where the parents... some children thrive outside of regular school, but there are concerns others are dropping out of the education system or being off—rolled, where schools informally remove poorly performing or badly behaved pupils to get better ofsted reports. a review by the former children‘s minister, edward timpson, looking into exclusions, found missed opportunities to keep children in mainstream education. black caribbean pupils are most likely to be kicked out and those who have left school have a higher chance of being exposed to crime. mr timpson‘s report suggests making schools more accountable for pupils they exclude. the education secretary damian hinds says he will introduce all 30 report recommendations. frankie mccamley, bbc news. let‘s speak now to the children‘s commissioner

for england anne longfield who‘s in westminster now. thank you very much forjoining us. how would this idea of making schools be held accountable for the exa m schools be held accountable for the exam result of the children they exclude actually work? well, i think thatis exclude actually work? well, i think that is something that the secretary of state is going to be consulting on later this year, but i think it isa on later this year, but i think it is a really important principle, one that i have been really arguing the case for. i have seen through my own research, those figures and numbers of children being excluded absolutely rising, sky high. i also understand that it is a small minority of schools, just 10% of schools that are responsible both for this, so i have really seen that actually, if you can keep these children on the books for exam purposes of the school, it will make all the difference at that point.” spoke to the general secretary of the association of school and couege the association of school and college leaders earlier. he said the idea that a child leave school at 13, and the school that he left at

that stage is responsible for their exa m that stage is responsible for their exam results for the rest of their academic career isjust exam results for the rest of their academic career is just not right. exam results for the rest of their academic career isjust not right.” am sure there will be some kind of time—limit, but i think the review, which is really thorough, and really welcome, is that actually, children are being left without help, and they are falling out of the system, and disappearing from view. local authorities, if the recommendations are implemented will have a greater responsibility to work with schools, to keep close contact with those children, and know where they are. it's children, and know where they are. it‘s really important to say that these recommendations could make a huge change to hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children, but they will require money and funding, to make that support available in schools. weights and that was the other part of exactly what he was saying. he was saying —— other part of exactly what he was saying. he was saying -- and that was the other part of exactly what he was saying. if you have got a kid thatis he was saying. if you have got a kid that is disruptive, it requires money, and it‘s not forthcoming. in

the end, if that is not forthcoming, will anything change?” the end, if that is not forthcoming, will anything change? i am sure there will be some changes, but they won‘t be the vital changes needed, and that is what ministers need to grab hold and recognise, and urgently so. at the end of his summary, the former children‘s minister said that actually there is an urgency here for these children is, who are falling out of the system. the government needs to respond swiftly, he said. that is quite the statement for a former minister. there is severe funding needed, there is a review coming up this year, so an opportunity to really look at how better funding can be made available for vulnerable children in schools, and indeed outside school, too. one of the issues of course is the situation of so—called of rolling, where basically there is in informal conversation between school and the parent, where the school stated the parent, where the school stated the parent, your child runs the risk of

being permanently excluded unless you go with it, the child is quietly taken away, effectively home—schooled, and disappeared from the system. how does that get tackled? again, my own research, and a report published earlier this year, it showed that actually one in ten schools look to be responsible for this practice. now, for parents whose children are having tough time in school, absolutely most of them will have special educational needs are, again, will be struggling to cope with school, there will be home phone calls were sometime, and then there will be a point where discussion takes place, and actually, the school says, may be your child would be better off at home. i have raised concerns that actually of those parents are prepared, and don‘t have —— aren‘t prepared, and don‘t have —— aren‘t prepared and don‘t have the support they need. again, if these schools could provide the specialist support that these people need, that would

enable them to stay within the protective environment of the school which has to be betterfor them. that is of course you saying what you would like to happen, but how to make sure that it does happen, had to actually stop schools from doing this? well, there is a recommendation from here, around transparency and data, reporting on how many children are off—road, and how many children are off—road, and how many children are off—road, and how many are excluded, a different —— of rolled and how many are excluded. a different education regime, than ofsted, and i will be publishing a survey of the number of schools who are of rolling to hold down our home—schooling, and will be publishing the results of those who are responsible for the majority of it. this is something that has been developed in the past. it is something that ofsted are getting to grips with, and government really need to take the lead, but importantly, backing it up with

funds. so you are talking about... publishing later this year. we will be publishing the names of those who are of rolling students to home education in the majority of cases. thank you so much forjoining us from the children‘s commission. thank you. in a moment we‘ll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news: congratulations from around the world for prince harry and meghan, as they announce the birth of a baby boy. the inquest opens at the old bailey, into the deaths of eight people killed in the london bridge attacks, almost two years ago cross—party talks to break the brexit deadlock are due to resume, after both the conservatives and labour suffered disappointing results, in last week‘s local elections. i‘m maryam moshiri with the business news. shares in estate agents purplebricks dropped by as much as 8% in early trading, after founder and chief

executive michael bruce left the online company. more on that in a moment more than 5,000 people were the victims of holiday booking fraud last year. research from travel association abta shows victims lost an average of £1,380 each, having bought bogus airline tickets, accommodation or organised tours. it said fraudsters were using increasingly sophisticated methods to target people looking for good deals. the us is to return... and is accused of using funds to finance firms.

back to our top story. the firm‘s cheap curator will succeed mr bruce as boss of purple breaks. in february, purple breaks cut its sales forecast, hitting its share price. property expert henry priorjoins me now. explained to the audience what exactly purplebricks does differently to other estate agents? purplebricks was not the first, but it has been the most successful of the hybrid or online businesses that we have seen developing in this country of the last five years. emu

is another classic case, of a company that went bust last christmas. they charge a lower fee, but up front, regardless of the outcome. it‘s very controversial, and has seen an awful lot of criticism from the traditional high street estate agent industry. and of course, it looks like there have been some issues of late, and the buses leaving. what do you think the trouble has been here? one of the problems is that purple breaks, —— purplebricks, like all estate agents, has faced a slowing down of the market in united kingdom. they have done like other brands have, expanded quite aggressively in north and australia. foxtons, another high—profile brand likewise tried to break into the north american market, and was unsuccessful there. purple breaks —— purplebricks have

struggled to implement in america, they have changed... and now it seems that they have raised a white flag and i walking away from their investment in australia. and michael bruce, has significant is it that he is leaving? i expect that whilst estate agents will struggle to spell the word innovative, let alone embrace it, we are not talking about an apple —type arrangement. purplebricks is very well capitalised. they have160— purplebricks is very well capitalised. they have 160— £200 million in a bank. but the model is expensive. will they continue in the way they have as late? i suspect they will survive as long as michael

is in the business and remains a pa rt is in the business and remains a part of that. us trade representative robert lighthizer has accused china of backtracking on commitments in trade talks, but insisted a deal on tariffs is still possible. he said president trump‘s threat to impose new taxes on chinese exports came after china reneged on promises. operating profits at german carmaker bmw slumped 78% in the three months to march after it was compelled to set aside e1.4bn to cover a possible fine by the eu. the firm said profits fell to just over £500 million despite higher deliveries of luxury vehicles. and 20 years ago today — then chancellor of the exchequer gordon brown said he was selling tonnes of britain‘s gold reserves. trouble was, his timing

could barely have been worse. between 1999 and 2002 the treasury sold over half it‘s gold at an average price of $275 an ounce, the average price since the sales ended has been almost $1,000 an ounce. european shares flitted between slight gains and losses amid a flurry of deal making and earnings as investors cautiously tracked developments around u.s.—china trade talks. fingers crossed that they will be some sort of resolution to those trade talks. pretty much anyone who‘s anyone in the world of showbiz, sport and fashion has been attending the annual fundraising gala at the metropoitan museum of art. amongst the attendees in new york: cardi b, katy perry and lady gaga, to name just a few. this year‘s theme was "camp: notes on fashion". nada tawfik reports from manhattan. the met gala always delivers over the top looks, but this year‘s theme, a celebration of the camp aesthetic,

inspired some of the most extravaga nt, fla m boya nt styles yet. lady gaga stole the spotlight early on. she took her time unveiling a total of four different outfits. on the met steps she gave a theatrical performance. lady gaga was the first to arrive. she is the co—chair of this year‘s met gala and this theme is arguably made for her. she set the bar very high. some understood camp better than others. katy perry wore a a0 pound chandelier and bill porter dazzled in golden wings. camp is the art of being extra. i love that the term is getting respect again because i think people have used it for a very long time now as a pejorative so it‘s nice to sort of be reclaiming the wonder of it. others got a crash course in preparation. honestly i didn‘t know what it meant. i thought it meant i was going

to get to wear some boots, some walking shorts and a t—shirt, but when they broke it down to me i said ok, give me the best sparkliest outfit here. i didn't know how crazy people would be here today but i was like i'm going to keep it low—key. formula 1 racing driver lewis hamilton sported a black metallic zigzag set that took 1500 hours to make. accessorising, i love accessorising, ijust love diamonds. they say diamonds are a women‘s best friend but i would disagree. i think they can be everyone‘s best friend. this year‘s playful theme made for a light—hearted red carpet. after all, camp means anything goes and the bigger the better. now it‘s time for a look at the weather. thanks, joanna. we have got a bit of sunshine at the moment across southern areas of the uk. it will be a bit warmer than yesterday, but out into the atlantic, it will be a bit cloudy, that is tomorrow‘s weather,

what a night‘s weather, really. it will move in gradually. a fair amount of cloud, pro across england and scotland. there is some sunshine, that is in norfolk with those sunny spells, and we will continue with sunny spells come across much of southern england and south wales through the afternoon. there will be a few showers cropping up, showery rain across northern england and across scotland, some sunny spells there, but again some wintry showers in the final. temperatures generally around 7—5d, but a touch warmer than it was yesterday in southern parts, with highs of 15 taxes. through tonight, some rain moving its way in from the south—west, cloud advancing a head of that. a frost night in the north—east of scotland, temperatures north—east of scotland, temperatures no lower elsewhere than around 7 degrees. this area of low pressure is moving its way in, this weather

front pushing northwards across the uk, witha front pushing northwards across the uk, with a fairly brisk easterly wind, but there is actually coming in from the south—west, so it will not be quite as cold as it has been in recent days many of us. as we go through wednesday, this band of rain moves northward. some welcome rain for many, that rain will push its way up into scotland, eastern parts of northern ireland. further south, sunny spells, heavy, slow moving and thunderous showers. a brisk wind, across northern parts, making it feel quite chilly, around these closed in particular. 7—8 celsius. england and wales, temperatures up to 13-16d. england and wales, temperatures up to 13—16d. throughout wednesday, and it is thursday, that area of low pressure will gradually move its way eastwards. we have got this weather front, still with us across scotland, moving into northern areas across scotland. it will still bring across scotland. it will still bring a bit of snow to higher ground in

scotland, some outbreaks of rain developing across northern parts. a few showers further south, but largely dry, and fairly bright through thursday, where temperatures will be once again 13—16d, still on the chilly side the further north you are. as we go through the rest of the week, things will gradually quieten down into the weekend, and it will get a bit drier, brighter and a bit warmer by the end of the weekend. goodbye.

congratulations from around the world for prince harry and meghan, as they celebrate the birth of a baby boy. as every father and parent would ever say, your baby is absolutely amazing, but this little thing is absolutely to die for, so i am just over the moon. i‘m joanna gosling — with the other main stories today: the inquest opens at the old bailey,

into the deaths of eight people killed in the london bridge attacks, almost two years ago. cross—party talks to break the brexit deadlock are due to resume after disappointing results for both the conservatives and labour in the local elections. two reuters journalists jailed in myanmar for their reporting on the rohingya crisis have been freed. the time a teenager spends on social media only has a small negative effect on how happy they are, according to a new study. and in sport — manchester city are just one win away from back—to—back premier league titles, after vincent kompany‘s wonder goal against leicester last night.

welcome back to windsor, where baby sussex, as we still know the first—born of the duke and duchess of sussex, is one—day—old. we are still waiting to hear the official name. perhaps tomorrow. prince harry indicated yesterday that in two days there would be more detailed. we expect to see the first images of this little baby and the three of them together as a family. a short while ago we could hear from beyond me at the castle itself the sounds of congratulations being played by the royal read scotland band, accompanied by the welsh guards, an added bonus for the many tourists in windsor —— the royal read of scotla nd windsor —— the royal read of scotland band. there are banners and balloons up intel congratulating the new pa rents balloons up intel congratulating the new parents on the arrival of the baby boy and many tourists in town as you would expect, walking tours

taking in the news of the royal birth and listening to the band. congratulations not only in windsor but right around the world as news emerged both in very traditional ways and on social media yesterday of the birth of this little boy. let‘s hear from nicholas of the birth of this little boy. let‘s hearfrom nicholas witchell. news of baby sussex‘s birth has been disseminated far and wide, from the bt tower, in central london, to the broadcast media of many countries. it is official, it is a boy! the royal family has welcomed a new member with meghan markle giving birth to a baby boy. breaking news, prince harry hasjust made the announcement, it is a boy. but of baby sussex, of course, there has been no sign. it is now reported that meghan did go to hospital to have the birth induced, dashing her hopes of a home birth. the palace has so far offered no comment. but after the birth had been announced, a clearly delighted harry said there would be a sight of their son in a couple of days. we‘ll be seeing you guys in probably

two days‘ time as planned, as a family to be able to share it with you guys so everyone can see the baby. among the things harry and meghan will have to decide now is, of course, a name, and whether they want their son to have a royal title. as a great—grandson of a monarch, he doesn‘t get one automatically. might these modern royals feel that the life of this anglo—american member of the british royalfamily would be easier without one? they have time to think about that. nicholas witchell, bbc news. lots of speculation about the name and whether there might be some reflection of this little baby‘s american heritage, and african—american heritage, if not in the name than certainly in the way he is brought up. in los angeles, where meghan markle grew up a huge amount of excitement and interest around the new arrival of this well

baby. sophie long is in la. it's it‘s a boy. it's a boy. the royal baby has arrived at the princes visibly excited. goodwin the duchess of sussex gave bird this morning to a baby boy. as us networks deliver the news they had waited for in windsor, los angeles will curb to hear the first anglo—american royal baby had arrived. it is amazing. jan oblak woman, iand arrived. it is amazing. jan oblak woman, i and very proud that we can have a royal black women in leadership, that is awesome. we are very happy, we wish them all the best. and many more. made the royal family continued to thrive. a baby isa family continued to thrive. a baby is a baby is a baby, right, but it is a baby is a baby, right, but it is probably adorable. it isa is probably adorable. it is a busy time at this los angeles charity that helps children in need, in part thanks to baby

sussex. it has enjoyed a major boost after it was the only organisation in the usa that the royals approved to a cce pt in the usa that the royals approved to accept gifts in preparation for the birth of the child. everyone saw it, we got a million phone calls and the uptick in donations was incredible. there is something different about the royals‘ attention than an actress‘s attention. los angeles waits with the rest of the world to see their new baby, speculation continues on his name. something like app ocean, an la name like app weather. just keep naming them harrys.” an la name like app weather. just keep naming them harrys. i think herbert is fitting. if it is a boy, name him dkembe. people are keen to welcome baby sussex on any future, if not his first, royal tour.

we don‘t know if the new baby has had any visitors yet to his home, his childhood home, frogmore cottage, the newly renovated cottage, it is a very simple word for what is a rather grand house on the windsor estate. but we know that prince harry‘s further, the prince of wales, and the duchess of cornwall, they are on a four day trip to germany so whether they fit ina quick trip to germany so whether they fit in a quick visit to see the new grandchild last night, we do not know. the duke and duchess of cambridge, william and catherine, last night said they were very much looking forward to meeting the new addition to the family. very few details apart from what we heard from prince harry yesterday about this new baby. there has not been confirmation about whether he was, in fact, been confirmation about whether he was, infact, born been confirmation about whether he was, in fact, born at home or whether he was born in hospital and their mother and baby very quickly

brought back to frogmore cottage. in the grand scheme of things it is neither here nor as long as, in the case of any birth, mother and baby are fine, but it signals the desire of the new parents to very much control the information that comes out, the pace of eight and what details emerge. we hope tomorrow to see the first images of the new baby, this new family of three, but until then we are slightly in the realms of speculation. studio: and having to be patient. thank you very much. the inquests have begun into the deaths of those who died in the london bridge and borough market atsack almost two years ago. eight people were killed by three attackers who were then shot dead by armed police. richard lister is at the old bailey. what have you heard? there have been a number of preliminary hearings in the run—up to these events today,

today we are getting to the start of the current‘s investigation proper into the who and the how and when. when it comes to the eight people killed in the attacks on london bridge and around borough market and the three attackers themselves, who we re the three attackers themselves, who were shot by police. the chief coroner of england and wales said that the lives of many people were torn apart by what took place in less tha n torn apart by what took place in less than ten minutes of what he described as high and terrible drama that nato and june three, 2017, n 10pm. he expressed condolences to the many family members gathered and caught one of the old bailey, the courtroom is packed, standing room only. he said many lives were saved by the rapid response of the public and emergency services. he laid out the event of the evening, how the three attackers drove a white van south of london bridge, aiming at pedestrians before the van crashed

on the south side of the london bridge. the attackers had knives taped to their hands and then went ona taped to their hands and then went on a rampage around the area where many people had gathered in pubs, restau ra nts a nd many people had gathered in pubs, restaurants and pubs, randomly attacking people. eight people died. he picked out a couple of moments when at least one person who died straight to intervene on behalf of others being attacked and then were attacked themselves. and we‘re hearing a number of pen portraits of those eight victims from family members who were trying to give the courtroom a sense of what their families were like. we have heard from the partner of xavier thomas, who said he had been a lovely man, passionate about travel and his two children and she said we had been totally devastated by the way he was taken from us, we feel lost and there is a great void without xavier. the people with lots of

questions, what other specific questions, what other specific questions the inquest is to answer? mark luke wright qc, the coroner, he laid out very clearly that his job is not to act as a civil or criminal liability, nobody is on trial but they need to answer the questions about who died, why they died, where and when. he will make a conclusion at the end of the process as to how, why and when they were killed. but those taking part in this process and onlooking will have a number of questions they will hope the various witnesses will be able to answer, probably the top of those is how is it that one of the three attackers was able to carry out this attack when he was being investigated by the security services. people will wa nt to the security services. people will want to know whether the security arrangements for rental cars and va ns arrangements for rental cars and vans are strict enough. lots of questions that families will want answered. thank you, richard.

later today, a fresh round of talks aimed at restoring devolution in northern ireland will begin later, in an attempt to end nearly two and a half years of political deadlock. the talks were announced by the british and irish governments after the shooting dead of the journalist leera mckee. —— the journalist lyra mckee. our northern ireland correspondent, emma vardy, has been following the story. these talks were hastened by the death of lyra mckee, shot by the new ira in londonderry. the shock and outrage brought renewed pressure on the main parties to reconcile their differences and get back into government here at stormont almost two and a half years that northern ireland has been without a power—sharing executive. it all collapsed you and have years ago when sinn fein‘s martin mcguinness walked out over the mishandling of a green energy scheme —— it all collapsed to .5 years ago. there has been a bitter stand—off between the dup and sinn fein and the bitter stalemate involves lots of other issues now that need to be resolved.

will they be able to overcome those? the death of lyra mckee has brought a renewed appetite for compromise, but at the same tiny big divide over sinn fein‘s demand for a irish language at and their requirement for same—sex marriage to be legalised. there is renewed optimism, but it will still be very difficult, deep divisions remain and at the same time the parties are fighting the election campaign for the european elections, which during election campaigns, which can make softening of positions more difficult. others travel abta says that victims of holiday forward lost an average 1300 p, including spending on bogus airline tickets, accommodation organised tours. you can stay up to

date any time online, all the main stories are coming up on bbc newsroom live. right now we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. mps are back to work today, with a lot of activity expected in westminster. the prime minister has already chaired a cabinet meeting this morning, and cross—party talks over brexit are set to recommence this afternoon as the prime minister hopes to end the impasse in parliament. philip hammond, stephen barclay and david lidington will attend the talks on behalf of the government, with keir starmer, john mcdonnell and rebecca long bailey in place for labour. theresa may is also set to meet the chairman of the 1922 committee of conservative backbenchers graham brady later today, as calls increase for her to set a firm resignation date.. our assistant political editor norman smithjoins me now. lovelace adding to that mix of pressure on her over standing down,

there is a vote that will be happening among grassroots members of the conservative party next month. not binding, but another issue down the line? it underlines the pressure that seems to keep mounting on mrs unless you can get a brexit deal. we now know that the national conservative convention, basically the local party chairman, around 1000 of them, holding an emergency general meeting in the aftermath of the european elections to consider a no—confidence motion in mrs may. that has no constitutional authority, but if it was past it would be unprecedented territory and many of mrs may‘s critics think it would further crank up critics think it would further crank up the pressure on mrs may to go, even though we know today ahead of the 1922 of backbenchers sir graham brady is already going to see the pmt as geared to give him a date for her departure, because of those she

said she will go when brexit is done, many tory mps theoretically linger through the summer into the autumn and they wanted to understood, sorted, game over, mrs may gone by the beginning ofjuly at the latest. everything hinging on whether mrs may can make any progress with these talks with jeremy corbyn. there is some support this morning from the chancellor, philip hammond. the most important thing is we put in place arrangements which allow us to have as low friction trade as possible between the uk and eu after we have left the eu. of course we should talk to the labour party about how to do that. we tried to get a deal through parliament, we were not able to get a parliamentary majority, so we have to find a compromise which can gain a parliamentary majority. joanna, the difficulty in getting any deal is notjust the opposition on the tory side, but many labour

mps are also deeply opposed to the idea of bailing out mrs may and they are planning to do try to ensure their party commits to another referendum. a deal is not unthinkable, and some hope the aftermath of the local elections made for smith to call mrs may to strike an agreement, but it is still a really big reach. thank you very much, norman. the headlines on bbc news... congratulations from around the world for prince harry and meghan, as they announce the birth of a baby boy. the inquest opens at the old bailey, into the deaths of eight people killed in the london bridge attacks, almost two years ago cross—party talks to break the brexit deadlock are due to resume, after disappointing results for both the conservatives and labour in the local elections

olly foster has the sport. good afternoon. the title is still in manchester city‘s hands heading into the final day of the season thanks to an incredible goal from their captain vincent kompany. it was nervy night in their last home match of the season. goaless with 20 minutes to play against leicester before perhaps the most important goal of the belgians career, a blistering strike from 25 yards out into thetop corner. city are now one point clear of liverpool again, they travel to brighton next sunday knowing theyjust have to match whatjurgen klopp‘s side do at home to wolves. it is in our hands. so we cannot forget, we could have been ten points behind if we had lost here against liverpool. we were seven points behind, but we are in the last game, you know, in our hands. city have the whole week off to prepare for their final league game of the season, not so liverpool, it‘s the second leg of their champions league tie against barcelona at anfield tonight.

jurgen klopp‘s side have to try and overturn a 3—0 deficit from the first leg, and they‘ll have to try and score those goals without top scorer mohammed salah who is ruled out with concussion and fellow striker roberto firmino who has a groin injury. we have to score four goals against barcelona to go through after 90 minutes. it doesn't make life easier, but still, as long as we have 11 players on the pitch, and we will try it, and everyone knows that, that's what we want to show, nothing else. james haskell is going to retire from rugby union at the end of the season. the flanker has had a brilliant 17 year career in which he was capped 77 times by england — winning three six nations titles inclding one grand slam — he‘s had a number of injuries since joining northampton saints last year. the 34—year—old spent most of his career with wasps, where he helped them win

the rugby champions cup in 2007. he also had spells in france, japan and new zealand israel folau has been found guilty of a "high level breach" of rugby australia‘s player code of conduct. he had his contract terminated last month after saying that "hell awaits" gay people in a social media post. the full—back, who‘s been capped 62 times, requested a personal hearing after the initial sanction was imposed. the panel will now consider what punishment the 30—year—old will face. andy murray has been given a wildcard for queen‘s next month as he continues to work on a return to action. the former world number one, who‘s won the torunamnt five times, will decide nearer the time if he‘s fit enough to compete. murray had hip surgery for a second time injanuary and has not played since. that‘s all the sport for now. i‘ll have more for you in the next hour. see you then. thank you. a recent report by the house

of lords found that the british seaside has been perceived as a sort of national embarrassment and deserves attention. as part of a special day of coverage, bbc news is exploring the challenges and opportunities for communities in coastal areas. according to the report, towns like great yarmouth — on the east coast of england — "have been neglected for too long" and are in desperate need of reinvention. the norfolk town is home to 98,000 people. 86,000 of those are british citizens and 12,000 from outside the uk. the percentage of people claiming out of work benefits is double the national average, with one tenth people on universal credit. susie fowler—watt, presenter of bbc look east, is is there for us now. tell us more about great yarmouth? we are here under seafront, looking quite empty, the beach behind me, but in the summer it would be very busy. if you hear any squeals of delight, there is a snail ride going around next to me injoyland, some people are enjoying it very much.

you mention the unemployment figures here, they are double the national average, so here, they are double the national average, so there is a real need for jobs in this part of the world. there is hope on the horizon with the renewable energy revolution. of the renewable energy revolution. of the closed year, three of the well‘s largest wind farms are due to be constructed, one is already under construction. the hope is that it will bring lots ofjobs and money into the local economy, but some of those jobs will be highly skilled, so those jobs will be highly skilled, so will the people in great yarmouth necessarily be able to get them? we have followed gwyn evans, a man who was on benefits, received a lot of training and then has a job on a wind turbine. tim muffett reports. big and beautiful, or ugly and imposing? whatever your view, what was one of the first offshore wind farms in the uk has turned around gwyn‘s life. i was six months unemployed, found it really difficult. i was searching for work.

opportunities are a hard thing to come by in a seasonal town. the full—time employment rate in great yarmouth is lower than other parts of norfolk and the uk. but the wind turbines aren‘tjust producing electricity, butjobs as well, and gwyn has landed one. because demand‘s getting hotter for these wind turbines, there is employment opportunities there for service technicians to keep the maintenance up—to—date, and, you know, the basic running of them as well. some of the training i‘ve done — i‘ve had to do offshore survival, which meant that i was put into a tank, similar to a live kind of situation. well done, guys. you've done well there. we‘ve done working at height training, which gives you a feeling for what it‘s like being at the top of one of these turbines. emergency descents, the operation of the cranes. you‘d think it might be quite basic. looking at the turbine, it‘s just a rotor spinning around in the wind.

there‘s a lot more that goes into that — electronics, mechanical. seaside towns have challenges, and offshore wind has really improved the job prospects for people in localities, so lots of new opportunities coming in for people to gain sustainable employment. there are now almost 2,000 offshore wind turbines around the uk coast, accounting last year for 8% of uk power generation. some say they spoil the view. gwyn disagrees. it‘s an industry in its infancy, so it‘s fantastic. it‘s a lifeline for great yarmouth. 1,000 years ago, a booming fishing industry turned great yarmouth into a thriving town. today, the sea still presents challenges, and opportunities. well, a swedish company will be building the two largest wind farms of the coast, and last week they

held a meeting for local businesses about the contracts they can bid full, multi—million penned contract at stake which could give a real boost to the regional economy. we will report on that throughout the day from great yarmouth, as particles for britain, and simon mccoy will prevent it —— micro presenters programme from here later and he promises me that he will have and he promises me that he will have agoon and he promises me that he will have a go on the snail ride. will you join him? ifi am asked, yes. thank you very much. today, supporters of julian assange have been visiting him injail. just a few minutes ago, one of his greatest supporters, the actor pamela anderson, has been speaking in defence of the wikileaks founder, after visiting him in belmarsh prison. obviously it has been very difficult to see julian here, obviously it has been very difficult to seejulian here, and to make our way through the prison to get to him was quite shocking and difficult. he

does not deserve to be in a super max prison, he has never committed a violent act. he is an innocent person. he hasn‘t access to a library, computer, any information. he is really cut off from everybody, he has not been able to speak to his children. public support is very important. fundraising is very important. fundraising is very important. he needs all the support he can get. justice will depend on public support. he is a good man, an incredible person. i love him. i can‘t imagine what he has been going through. and to see him joyland can‘t imagine what he has been going through. and to see himjoyland it was good to see him, grated to see him, but this isjust in this rule of law in operation. it is absolute

shall cut that he has not been able to get out of his cell. it has been one month. it will be a long fight. he... he deserves our support, needs our support. no matter what anybody can do to maybe write to him, encouraging, he is appreciative of any support that he has received. i think he hasn‘t received too much in the way of letters, but i know people have been writing. it is a process for him to have any kind of communication, it is very difficult. and wejust had communication, it is very difficult. and we just had to keep fighting, because it is unfair. he has sacrificed so much to bring the truth added, we deserve the truth. and that is all i can say. i am sorry, i feel sick. and that is all i can say. i am sorry, ifeel sick. i and that is all i can say. i am sorry, i feel sick. i feel and that is all i can say. i am

sorry, ifeelsick. ifeel nauseous. the vasa panel anderson, supporting julian assange. no season —— panel anderson, supporting julian assange. susan powell has the weather. it was at —6 in braemar, disappointingly chilly for all parts of the uk through the week ahead with below—average temperatures. this in sunshine. this afternoon, some wintry showers. figure clad across northern england, northern ireland and the midlands and east anglia, there will be showers developing. highs in the south of only 15. this evening and overnight, an area of low pressure approaches from the atlantic, welcome for gardeners and growers. much milder than last night. chilly., a rural frost, much milder than last night. chilly., a ruralfrost, and quite a widespread one. as a low bumps into

the north, really cold wind off the north seat, heavy rain, brightening a bit further south for the afternoon, but all that will do is speu afternoon, but all that will do is spell kypson thundery showers, so a lively day to come tomorrow. —— all that it will do is spell some thundery showers.

you you hello this is bbc newsroom live with joanna gosling. the headlines: congratulations from around the world for prince harry and meghan, as they celebrate the birth of a baby boy. as every father and parent would ever say, your baby is absolutely amazing, but this little thing is absolutely to die for, so i am just over the moon. there‘s excitement in windsor — as well as in meghan‘s home city of los angeles — at the new arrival. the inquest opens at the old bailey, into the deaths of eight people killed in the london bridge attacks, almost two years ago. cross—party talks to break the brexit deadlock are due to resume after disappointing results for both

the conservatives and labour in the local elections. two reuters journalists jailed in myanmar, for their reporting on the rohingya crisis, have been freed. the time a teenager spends on social media only has a small negative effect on how happy they are, according to a new study. and coming up, as a cricketer, he was known for targetting the world‘s best bowlers, but now kevin pieterson is taking aim at rhino poachers. schools will be told to stop using exclusions to boost results from today amid concerns thousands of children are disappearing from classroom registers. a government—backed inquiry led by the former children‘s minister edward timpson demands headteachers be accountable for the exam records of pupils they remove. our education correspondent, frankie mccamley reports. ill—equipped to deal with kids with behavioural issues... jez benstoke‘s son had behavioural issues. he left mainstream education and came to this

alternative provision school. he is a kid who had been through the care system anyway, been through fostering, so he felt rejected, so when he came here, of course, it was not easy to start with but, for us as parents, the massive sense of relief that our kid was being accepted and that people were trying to understand him rather thanjust wanting him to behave. so you can see, this is somewhere where the parents... some children thrive outside of regular school, but there are concerns others are dropping out of the education system or being off—rolled, where schools informally remove poorly performing or badly behaved pupils to get better ofsted reports. a review by the former children‘s minister, edward timpson, looking into exclusions, found missed opportunities to keep children in mainstream education. black caribbean pupils are most likely to be kicked out and those

who have left school have a higher chance of being exposed to crime. mr timpson‘s report suggests making schools more accountable for pupils they exclude. the education secretary damian hinds says he will introduce all 30 report recommendations. frankie mccamley, bbc news. well, the education secretary, damian hinds, told dan walker on bbc breakfast that the government would be tightening up guidance for schools. in this report from edward timpson, there isn‘t a sort of ideal number of exclusions, but there is a role for exclusions, there always has been a role for exclusions. they are actually at a lower level today than they were ten years ago.

but we have seen an increase, over the last few years. and what edward has done is talk to many different local authorities, schools, parents, to understand fully the variation in the system. and there is big variation between two schools in the same area and between two different areas. we‘re going to respond to this report in a number of different ways, including tightening up our guidance to schools, but also, taking up the biggest single recommendation, which is around changing the accountability system. so that, as it were, you know, the outcomes for kids, who are expelled, stay with the schools. so everybody is sort of... everybody is... everybody is aligned in the same way for the future of that child. i understand that, but to go back to what i was asking you about, off—rolling, if that is an issue, isn‘t that a product of the pressure schools are under with things like league tables?

look, schools do an amazing job and it can be a pressurejob. i very much accept that. we believe off—rolling is quite a small... you know... it happens in a minority of cases. the majority of schools are not doing it, but in the new ofsted framework, it is something they are going to be looking at. we will be tightening up the definitions. it is not legal to off—roll. you know, you can... there are only certain ways in which a child can leave a school roll and it should be done through the normal, formal processes. sometimes, people say there are some grey areas and i‘m going to make sure that in our new guidance, when it comes out, there isn‘t room for misunderstanding of that. this isn‘t a big practice, we believe it is quite a small practice, but, nevertheless, it is one that is concerning and we are going to act. the time a teenager spends on social media has only a small negative effect on how happy they are, according to a new study. university of oxford reseachers say concerns that social media is creating a generation of depressed teenagers are overstated and that family, friends and school—life all had a greater impact on wellbeing.

joining me now is dr max davie, officer for health promotion for the royal college of paediatrics and child health. is this report saying we shouldn‘t worry about the kids being online and so on social media has long as they like? i think it puts to bed a lot of the ideas about social media being inherently toxic for children‘s well—being. i think we need to move away from this flip—flop of it a disaster versus there is no effect whatsoever. actually, what they did, is find a non—trivial but small effect in females. we know that young women coming in towards adult hood have experienced fairly big rises in emotional disorders, so why is that? what is it about society that is

driving that, i did social media not the source of that, but is that the conduit by which they are getting these pressures? so what you are pointing to there, is very specifically an impact on females, not males. what we are looking at is a mix of pictures, amongst them some pics, —— boys, gaming. can boys game as long as they like and they are not affected? this is a study on social media. this is the difficulty. you don‘t want to throw the baby out with the bath water. our guidance that came out in january was all about balance, all about, what is your strict screen time like, and how does it balance with the rest of your life? are you getting enough exercise or sleep? are you spending time with your family, we are not given carte blanche to screens, we are wanting a nuanced conversation about this. we wa nt to nuanced conversation about this. we want to balance your screens with other things. social media is not in itself an evil, and what it does is connect people, and sometimes you

connect people, and sometimes you connect with people who wish to harm, so you need to be careful about that. there are safeguarding aspect of this. ultimately, what this study does is put to bed a lot of these really and gloom kind of, it‘s all a disaster kind of narrative. when we were kids, it was always, you will watch too much tv and get square ice. there is always something, you are told it shouldn‘t be doing it, and whether there is scientific backing for it is unclear. looking at social media, and the impact does seem to be on guys, and the impact does seem to be on guys, it‘s this report saying that it‘s just girls that have a negative effect from social media, and it is busy not pinpointing... it is really difficult to say, and they use the very best statistical analysis, gold standard stuff, but it was still a bit equivocal. there is some overlap in some of the intervals. there seems to be something here that we need to look into father. one of the frustrations that they share and we

share, is because the social media companies have all the data, and they have not, despite repeated requests release them to independent researchers at any time. if we could have that data, then we may be able to break some of this town, and say, 0k, to break some of this town, and say, ok, what were the people who are most vulnerable here, and what is making them vulnerable, and what can we change about broader society that will make young women, more emotionally healthy, because that is what it is about. one of the things that social media can do is break boundaries in a way that never happened before. that social staff seem happened before. that social staff seem to end when a kid went to school, the upside is kids being able to stay in touch with each other, but there is a constant flow. yes, ido other, but there is a constant flow. yes, i do think that‘s good and bad. i think if you think about somebody who is going up who is not connected in their real—life family, but can net you can connect to people that

they connect with. but equally, you can connect to people who are not doing you good. i think it is important, in families, doing you good. i think it is important, infamilies, to doing you good. i think it is important, in families, to think about is there are space in our family when we are not online, where we can give the child unconditional love co m e we can give the child unconditional love come in a way you don‘t necessarily get online. i do think there is a balance there. it is just articulating that any way that kind of means something to families. it is quite tricky. and it is not a lwa ys is quite tricky. and it is not always easy communicating it. thank you very much. a man arrested on suspicion of abducting and raping three women in and around london is being investigated for other attacks involving nine more victims in north—west england. joseph mccann, who‘s 3a, was arrested on sunday night in cheshire, after two 14—year—old girls were abducted in congleton. andy moore reports. joseph mccann was arrested after a nationwide hunt for a man described by police as "extremely dangerous". he had already been linked to three rapes in the london area, when a reward of £20,000 was offered for information leading

to his capture. police said that, on his last day of freedom, mccann is believed to have carried out a series of savage attacks. they are a grotesque and appalling series of offences that are, thankfully, exceptionally rare. police said that mccann was accused of attacking nine people in the north—west, in the space ofjust over ten hours. at 8:00 in the morning on sunday at haslingden in lanchashire, a woman in her 30s was falsely imprisoned. a teenage girl and an 11—year—old boy were raped. at about 1:30 that afternoon, a 71—year—old woman was abducted and raped in bury, manchester. at 3:30pm at heywood in manchester, two 13—year—old boys were abducted and a 13—year—old girl was sexually assaulted. at 6:30pm in congleton, two 14—year—old girls were forced into a car. that led to a police chase and a collision with another car. the suspect fled on foot and was eventually found in a tree.

he was arrested in the early hours, yesterday night, and is now in the custody of police in london. andy moore, bbc news. two reuters journalists jailed by myanmar for breaking the official secrets act have been unexpectedly freed from prison. their release was part of a presidential amnesty that also included thousands of other prisoners. two reuters journalists jailed by myanmar for breaking the official secrets act have been unexpectedly freed from prison. their release was part of a presidential amnesty that also included thousands of other prisoners. as they walked out ofjail, one of them, wa lone, spoke as he emerged from the prison gates. inside in the prison and also around the world people wishing to release us so i would like to say thank you very much for everything. i am really happy and excited to see my family and my colleagues and i can‘t wait to go to my newsroom now.

well the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, told martha kearney on the today programme on bbc radio 4 that he welcomed the news. i think it's simply wonderful news, because this is a world where, last year, 99 journalists were killed, just for doing theirjob. and people are really worried about the decline in media freedom across the world. and here we have a glimmer of light. and i think listening to wa lone and kyaw soe oo's, reaction, saying theyjust want to get back to the newsroom, i think it's something that's going to make people feel really positive today in a world where there hasn't always been that kind of positive news. you yourself met their barrister, didn't you, amal clooney, who represented the two men while they were in prison. what more can you tell us about the role of the british government? well, first of all, amal clooney has been absolutely tenacious on this. and she is a superb lawyer. she deserves enormous credit for this. but, actually, the foreign office has been working very hard on this. i lobbied aung san suu kyi personally, last september. and dan chugg, who is our ambassador in myanmar, who may be well— known to some of your listeners for being the ambassador who strummed his guitar on the bbc programme inside the foreign office.

but, actually, he also does more serious things and i remember when i went to see aung san suu kyi, he gave me a one pager, explaining why we thought there hadn't been due process in the case of these two journalists. and aung san suu kyi is someone who has suffered a lack of due process herself in her life, as someone who has fought hard for democracy. does that make it all the more disappointing then when she hasn‘t stood up strongly enough or done enough to support the journalists or spoken out against the... what happened to the rohingya minority? we have to give her credit, that, on this occasion, she said she would look into the lack of due process and she has and we've ended up with this presidential pardon. obviously, we hope this can be the start of a new chapter in our relations with myanmar and that same openness can apply

to what's happening in the rakhine province with the rohingyas. the cause of this imprisonment was that these two reuters journalists wrote an article about what happened to the rohingyas, which obviously upset some people in authority. jeremy hunt talking about the release of those two reuters journalists. as a cricketer he was known for targetting the world‘s best bowlers but now kevin pieterson is taking aim at rhino poachers. a new bbc podcast launches today following him as he tries to save the engandered mammals from extinction. 5 live‘s sarah brett went to meet him at his home in south africa. kevin pietersen, the maverick south african batsman who brought england to glory, but whose talents and temperament was the cause of constant controversy. he has retired now, after all that drama, relaxing at home in south africa. but what happened in my england cricket career is so far gone from anything that i‘m doing now, in any walk of life that i‘m in at the moment. and i actually feel sorry for people that now harbour things that

happened such a long time ago. it is what it is, it happened, and it‘s such a long time ago in my mind that i‘ve forgotten. now, he says he has got a new fight, trying to save the rhino in south africa from the scourge of illegal poaching. rhinos are killed for their horn, which reaches thousands of dollars on the black market, an irresistible target in areas of poverty. the poachers are persistent. they scramble through the vastness of the african bush to hunt their prey, often walking for days to reach it. and it all leads to scenes like this. a rhino, a mother, killed just days ago, shot by poachers, its calf also killed. we've come here to see it for ourselves, the front line in the bloody war against poaching, and what we've found is that it is increasingly an inside job. because even those supposed to be protecting the rhinos can be helping the gangs that kill them. a critically endangered species

needs all the help it can get. it pains me, it hurts me, and emotionally, it really affects me. we‘re not the ones that are being killed. those animals are being killed. they do not deserve it. they‘re an iconic species in africa. they represent and symbolise what‘s so good about this continent, and i want to save them. the headlines on bbc news... congratulations from around the world for prince harry and meghan, as they announce the birth of a baby boy. the inquest opens at the old bailey, into the deaths of eight people killed in the london bridge attacks, almost two years ago. cross—party talks to break the brexit deadlock are due to resume after disappointing results for both the conservatives and labour in the local elections.

west midlands police are investigating whether a video made by a ukip candidate in which he says he might rape labour mp jess phillips breaks the law, this programme can reveal. carl benjamin, who is standing in the upcoming eu elections, sent her a tweet in 2016 saying: i wouldn‘t even rape you — then last week shared a video on youtube saying with enough pressure" he "might cave". i realised that i did what all women do in these situations, that i had put a brave face on it, pretending that i was fine, saying i could cope. but then it dawned on me that forfour cope. but then it dawned on me that for four years, cope. but then it dawned on me that forfour years, this cope. but then it dawned on me that for four years, this man cope. but then it dawned on me that forfour years, this man has made a career out of harassing me, and i felt harassed. i felt, career out of harassing me, and i felt harassed. ifelt, how could somebody say that they would rape me if forced, and be a legitimate candidate in an election. it was one thing when he was just an idiot off the internet with a load of pros following him. it is a different thing when he is standing on the same platforms that i am standing on, that he will potentially go to a

parliament himself as an elected representative, when he said these things, andi representative, when he said these things, and i just representative, when he said these things, and ijust can‘t believe that our system is so weak at the moment that that is allowed to happen. and when you got home, you cried? yes, i cried in the street, as well. just because i felt the enormous wait of years and years and yea rs of enormous wait of years and years and years of abuse, and i felt, enormous wait of years and years and years of abuse, and ifelt, it‘s not that i‘m frightened with a credible threat to me, actually, i‘m not frightened that anybody is going to hurt me. i‘d like you don‘t fear your physical safety? no, hurt me. i‘d like you don‘t fear your physicalsafety? no, i really like living my life like a normal person, so like living my life like a normal person, so i don‘t let that keep them very often. but what i do fea rful them very often. but what i do fearful is my mental health, actually, and this is essentially like coercive control. sometimes, i‘d rather someone were to punch me in the face, than the constant degradation that you suffer as a woman in the public eye. it is co nsta nt. woman in the public eye. it is constant. it‘s constantly belittles

you, it makes you do might blame yourself. you blame yourself? i pay myself suffer some of this. for what he said nvidia? i blame myself and not x he said nvidia? i blame myself and notx —— he said nvidia? i blame myself and not x —— for accepting it for so long, and not doing more. i blame myself for not having to have changed directly the electoral commission rules which mean that they are absolutely completely, that their hands are tied in this situation, because people like me at westminster did not do enough to stop what is essentially the rise of fascism. i blame myself a little bit for that, and i blame myself putting a brave face on it. and if i was talking to me, and i‘ve talked to many people in my situation... your work before you became a politician, this was what you all about. i've said, don‘t blame yourself. u nfortu nately, we said, don‘t blame yourself. unfortunately, we have all been conditioned, and i have been conditioned, and i have been conditioned as much as anybody else. labourmp jess phillips. let‘s take you to

germany. they anything here. there was a hope that they might do something about the new royal arrival, the boy that harry and meghan have welcomed into the world yesterday. he is expected to speak later, actually, because he is going to be attending and a reception at the british ambassador‘s residence. the of his speech is to look to the relationship between the uk and germany. i‘m talking about the future relationship. it is expected he will describe it as a relationship in transition. so we will have to wait and see whether he heads down that gives any information about the new baby, but at the moment, most of the focus is on that new arrival, the baby boy that arrived yesterday, still unnamed. it is expected that tomorrow, we may get some pictures of him. anyway, we will stay across

that royal visit there, to germany, as well. charles and camilla just arriving in berlin. the life of a 12—year—old indonesian boy changed forever when he was caught up in a powerful earthquake last september. rizky, a manchester city fan, was buried under rubble, but survived — and when journalists reported on his story, a viewer offered the chance to travel to the uk to see his team. last night he was welcomed as a very special guest at the etihad stadium. our reporter sofia bettiza has the story. a dream come true. from surviving a tsunami, to meeting your heroes, this is an incrediblejourney. we first met 12—year—old rizky in indonesia last year. he told us he was watching highlights of his beloved manchester city in an internet cafe, when an earthquake struck which killed nearly 2000 people.

it was a miracle he survived. when we told riyad mahrez, his favourite player, about his story, he sent him a get well message. hi, rizky. how are you? i hope you are getting better. i heard that you were a big city fan. so i just want to wish you a good recovery. a few weeks later, a signed jersey arrived. but now, six months on, rizky is travelling to the uk. i‘m scared, but i‘m also excited. it‘s his first time on a plane. bbc viewers saw his story and wanted to pay for him to come over, and see his manchester city heroes. hi, rizky. welcome to the uk.

what you have gone through is nothing short of terrifying, and you have been incredibly brave. i‘m so happy you are here in manchester today, watching your favourite football team, and making your dream come true. he and his dad are special guests at the etihad stadium, as man city take on leicester. hi, rizky. how are you? good to see you again. it is a young football fan‘s dream to meet their idols. so rizky, we just heard from the club, and because you are a special guest, they would really like you to walk out onto the pitch with the team. a 7000 milejourney for this one moment. priceless. and finally, a meeting in person with his idol. hi, rizky! how are you, rizky? good? i remember you, all right! six months ago, rizky nearly died.

now, a moment he will rememberfor the rest of his life. when i was under the rubble, i thought i wouldn‘t survive, but i did. and i‘m grateful to god that i can be here and watch the football in real life. and meet my idol. it‘s what i‘ve always dreamed of. two orphaned bear cubs are being trained to survive in the wild after becoming separated from their mother in greece. bradley and cooper are four months old and currently being bottle fed. but the bear sanctuary which is caring for them has begum the year—long process of teaching them to forage in the forests in the north of the country so they can be reinegrated into their natural habitat.

definitely the best pictures of the day! in a moment it‘s time for the one o‘clock news. but first it‘s time for a look at the weather. good afternoon. quite a bit of sunshine around today. temperature is still a bit disappointing for me. it is going to stay chilly for the rest of this week. some really wet weather coming tomorrow —— for the month of may. at the moment, we have still got the tail end of another where front straddling the uk currently. some showers across northern england, northern ireland and wales and the midlands. some wintry showers to scotland, just 7 degrees there in aberdeen. or perhaps up to 15 for the south. overnight, our low stance to arrive into our shores, a wet night to come, because england and wales. because of the cloud and the rain, a much milder night to the south. still true for scotland, the first

not as cold as last night, but rural lows around freezing. on wednesday, we pick up a cutting easterly wind across the north sea across scotland. could still see some quite wintry weather across the higher ground there. further south, a spell of pretty heavy and persistent rain. welcome rain, actually, certainly farmers and growers have been lacking for this time of year. quite windy as it swings to the north of the uk, and then to the south, as some showers arrive which could be heavy and thundery throughout the afternoon. particularly chilly along our north sea coast. this tail end still making for a pretty messy weather picture across the northern half of the uk on thursday. quite a lot of cloud around, some heavy and persistent rain across scotland, and the north—east of england. should there be a reasonable amount of sunshine across southern england and

south wales. quite a chilly wind running across eastern scotland in the north—east of england, some showers developing through the day, too, but the picture becoming quite a common temperature is still lagging. however, come the weekend, the weather will start to settle. still disappointing, those figures on saturday, but through sunday into next week, you‘d expect something woman is on its way. —— you expect something warmer on the way.

inquests open into the deaths of eight people killed in the london bridge and borough market attacks. the inquests will examine why there were no barriers to protect pedestrians and how the leader of the attacks evaded m15. we‘ll have the latest from the old bailey. also this lunchtime: theresa may under new pressure from tory backbenchers for a timetable on when she‘ll stand down. a marchpast in windsor as well—wishers gather to celebrate the birth of the royal baby, but there‘s still no name. the woman orphaned when both her parents died within a week of each other because of contaminated blood.

iam in i am in great yarmouth as part of the
